It is denied nt tho Treasury that any con

tion of Mr. B. O. Graves' sucecsiprns As
sistant Trcasuier. Tho gossips aio far ahead
of this, however, and havo named Mr. A, CI.
Collins, a lawyer or Batavln, N. Y., and a
former partner of Scerctary Manning, as tho
man. Tho impression prevails in tho De
partment that Treasurer Jordau will uamo
his assistant, and will mako tho selection
with a view to securing a niau thoroughly
eonvorsaut with tho duties cf tho olllco and
capablo of performing a falrsharo of tho
work. Tho boliof that such a man cannot
bo found outsido of tho Department sorvos
to encourngo tho o Ulcers of tho bureau to
hopo that the position may bo tilled by pro
motion. Treasurer Jordan is uudotstood to
attach llttlo Importance to tho prctonsions
and sentiments or civil scrvlco reform, but
Is an advocate of nppolutmcuts on sound
business principles.

A prominent Treasury oillci.il said to
day that tho appointment of Mr. 12. O.
Graves as chief of tho Iluroau of Rngrav
ing and Printing was mado on pjtroly
business principles. "Secretary Mauulug
was not unconscious of tho political boar
lug of such a selection, Ho was fully
awaro that ho was appointing a Now York
Independent, a Bopubllcau ollicoholdor
and a civll-scrvico reformer of tho most
radical kind to a position controlling nroro
than a thousand appointments frco from
civll-servico uilcs, and to which tho spoils
seekers wanted a Uigglus appointed, Tiro
Secrolaiy realized all this aud, perhaps,
calculated Its effect upon tho Now York
election, but upon overy other consideration
ho decided that business, and not politic),
must run tho ilurcau of Engraving and
Printing, nnd set himself to work looking
for tho man best qualified to administer
tho aitahs of tho bureau wis'oly aud econ
omically, llo discovorcd that Graves was
tho man, scut for him aud tendered him
tho rositiou, Graves hcsltatod for a week
and then accepted. That is tho wholn
explanation of tho appointment."

Tor tho past soveial weeks that tho Motin
politan Club Intended to disband, but tho
absurd rumor has reached Its demise Club
managers, who woro cator to atrongthon
their clubs, were located In Now York
city during tho past week with n view or
securing tho best or tho talent that coin
posed tho Mots, and it Is openly charged
that theso managers approached theso
playeis. Billy Barnoy of tho Baltimore
Club was tho most modest I?) in his de
mands. Ho only wants Orr, Nelson, Hank
inson and Boipschlagor. A representative
of tho Louisville Club wants Bosonian nud
Orr, whllo Mr. Lucas of St. Louis will
bo satisfied with Holboit. At tho loccut
meeting in Pittsburg, tho manager of tho
Metropolitans accused Mr. Jiarnlo of np
preaching his players, no denied it.
Whllo tho Baltimore woro in town last
week, Barnio was brought face to faco
with Orr, whom Mr. GIflord said was ono
of tho men approached. 'Did I ask you
to como tn Baltimore?' asked Barnio, ad
dressing Orr. 'Yes. you did,' was tho
fiauk reply. 'You said you wanted Nolson,
Bolpschlagerand myself.' 'You spoke to me
on tho same subject,' Interrupted Nelson.
'There's no harm in telling tho truth.
You told mo that if tho Mots disbanded you
would try and get four of our pl.iyeis.'
'This work of tolling ourplayots that wo
aio going to disband uaturally makes tho
meu feel Indifferent in their work,' said
President Bhonor yesterday, 'Wo aio not
going to disband, and nil minors to tho cou
tiary aro groundless, Tho Muls will play
through tho season, and mark my word,
they will mako a strong flcht to win (list
honors again.' Manager Mutifo, eiuuna

Tho warrants Iseued to-day woro upin in
formation furnished Assistant District At
torney Thomas by Captain Powlott, (Linrgo
(! reason, John M, Mutiny ami l'r.uk Y.
ComniBgero.
Captain Powlott says that about the 'Jdth
of April, when ho caiuodown stairs at tho
Gicasnn House, Mr. ((reason showed him a
rioto whluh had becu left by a biynhutil
fourteen or Ilftccn years of ago. Tlio noto
said that tho wilier having received gross
InHilt demanded satisfaction and an curly

thing was said about naming thu tlmo ami
pl.'KC Mr. Powlctt liudcrntood tho noto to
bo n chnllengo to light a duel. It was
signed "Constantlnl."
After rending it he threw 11 down on the'
counter nnd has not seen It slnco. lie
thought nt the tlmo that It was a Joke, hut
alterwaid found out that it was a serious
matter. Hu paid no attention nt tho tliiin,
but went Nmth on business for four or
llvo days. Ho hail bcou luck In tho city
about a week when Mr. Gcorgo Greisou
told hlni that Gustavo Biocho had been
around to seo him with another challouge
fiom Constnutlui. Ho hcaid that Biocho had
been mound thrco times to deliver the
"ml'slvc, but the witness was not In.
Then Boss Poyttm prccutcil himself and
told the witness that ho had a challctigii
from Mr. Constantlnl. The witness svoulil
nut rucivo thu noto and used soino strong
language, when ho said that ho did not
want lo havo anything to do with that
coward. Peyton said that If Powlctt did
not respond to tho challenge ho would do
mniid satisfaction himself. Mr. ((reason
oideied him out, saying that If ho did not
go out hu would bo put out. Broche, Cou
stnutiui aud Peyton collected hi Trent of
the lcslauranl and made threats.
Gcorgo Grcasou said that ho siw a note
lying on his bar and read it. It lel.Uod to
a challenge from Constantini to Powlott.
Ho substantially corioboratcd Poivlclt's
statement.
John M. Murray of tho Grcasou Houso
says that ho heatd the quarrel between Con

asked Peytou what business It was of his.
Peyton said that ho would mako it his

THE AHGLO-RUSSIAN BROIL.
A Catholic nivlno Who Has View h
on tlio UiiCHtliin.
Bcv. Fathci D. S. Pbelan, editor or tho
H'etteiu ll'dfiimaii, St. Louis, preached an
eloquent discourso yestorday morning at
St. Peter's Church on tho subject ol "Ask
ing and Receiving."
In tho afternoon ho replied emphatically
to tho Inquiries of a Critic iepirter;
"There will undoubtedly bo war between
England and Russia. I don't seo how it
can bo avoided tooner or later, it is absurd
to boliovo that an autocrat like Busssi will
submit to nibitration nil nfl'alr which has
already passed lutu history, Russia might
till: ofnibltration irit was a question ol'
defining a treaty, but to hnvo.n smaller
power (letcrmlno whether tho greatest
autocrat or tho world has done a wrong, Is
oomethliig that Biisjla cannot Tor a moment
eousiilor."
"What, in your opinion, is Russia's ulti
mate object ''
"Tho capture of Constantinople nnd tho
resultant division of tho itiitish Umpire.
Russia must havo an outlet. Tho laws of
all nations permit tlio owner nf a fifteen
acre farm to havo tho benefits of a high way,
and yet hero is BiimIii hemmed hi aud
utterly denied tin outlet. Slio wants tho
Mediterranean Sea, and sho will ultimately
get it. Gibbon saj3 that when Constantino
scrutinized all Jhuopo for a location for tbo
capital of his great empire he showed 10
matknblo sagacity and iudgnicut in select
ing Byantlum, It would havo been tho
greatest city hi tho world to-day if tho
Tuikahnd novor occupied it. In my opin
ion it is certain to fulfill Its destiny whou
cvor the Turks aio driven out."
"What will Ireland do in the event, of
war?"
"Do?" Ami Father Phclan laughed
heartily. "Don't you know that au Irish
mau is capable of moro dovilmont than any
other being, when ho onco gives his at
tention exclusively to it? "War bctwoon
Bussla aud Unglnud means homo govern
mont for Ireland. That is why there are
not a few prayers that war will como, and
I behove thoy will bo answored."

he thought thero was nothing In store for
