Lotos, Nor. 88.—A nit for $80,000 rlsmagse has bean begun in the circuit court by B. D, Coleman against the Adams Express company. This is can remit of tbe detective agency's efforts to ferret out the axpress robbery. Mr. Coleman complains that on the night of Nov. 0, at U o'clock, while he was lying sick with fever at a hording house in Topeka, Kan., his room was invaded by three employes of Pinker-ton's detective agency, who, regardless of his enfeebled condition, proceeded to ransack his room and all its contents and to annoy him with questions. He alleges that they opened his business and private correspondence and read it ; unlocked his. valise and perused its contents; examined hie clothing, and oompeWng him to move, examined the bed clothing for correspondence, and hinted at his arrest, one of the detectives remarking that ha believed at last they had strnak the right mtn. A detective was left in the hall to watch the movements of the plaintiff. On the following day he was accosted in a store by two nmn of the same detective agency, and he was in duress for a short time. Cincinnati, Not. f&—The delegates to the special meeting of the Amsrican association were in nonskw at tbe Qrand hotel nearly all iay and the question of what club will take the place vacated by the Pittabnrg club is jret an open one. Although nothing definite was accomplished much occurred to encourage the American association people, and tho delegates arn in a much happier frame of mind than they ware a week ago. There is a prospect that Pittsburg's plaoe will be filled by tbe Detroit league club, and even should this fail the members of the association have received an offer-that convinced them that stock in the association is worth owning. The Kansas City club offered 15,000 in cash for the bare franchise, without a single player being included in the deal. They also offered to pay the railroad ttn of every team ; In the American association from St Louis to Kansas City and return. This includes every trip that the aaodatkm Wains make to Khnsas City to dIav DwnpinnC'¥ n oidm, This would mean an additional cost of $3,000 to tbe cowboy club. It is not tMEeved, however, that the Kansas City club will be taken in. If Detroit does not draw the priae, the chaneea are good that Cleveland will. The Detroit people say that if tbe league will rescind the guarantee rule they will remain, otherwise they will join the American aaociation provided the latter wfll aooept them. The association, am the other hand, has made no proposition, nor it it probable it will bind itself antil the Detroit* make application for membership.

Nxw York, Nov. 28.—The World, today prints the following: The funeral of ex- President Arthur brought to this city and associated together in the solemn ceremonies more diverse political elements than were perhaps ever connected with a similar occasion before. By virtue of his official position the pretfdent of the United States, a Democrat, was lira to signify by his presence the honor in which the memory CC predecee*,. a Republican, was held. Rutherford B Hayes, last but one of the line of Republicans who had occupied the White House, also cans in to attend the funeral But it was Mr. Hayes, it will be remembered, who dismissed Gen. Arthur from the custom house. The relations between the two gentlemen from that time until Gen. Arthur's death had been antagonistic. James G. Blaine, whose retirement from the cabinet in 1881 Gen. Arthur's accession made necessary, and who defeated Gen. Arthur for the nomination by the Republican oonvention of 1884, alsQ came, doubtless because as a great lead*' of the party he felt it becoming that he should testify his respect to the memory of another eminent Republican. Senator George F. Edmunds, of Vermont, was here as one of the official mourners on the part of the United States senate. Ha had conspicuously refused to aid the election of Mr. Blaine in 1801 Mr. Blaine and Mr. Edmunds met yesterday in the house of death, and there was a painful scene between them which is likely to be much talked of hereafter. Wabhinotoh, Nov. SI—The most noteworthy feature of the annual report of the postmaster general, which has Just been made public, is its declaration that "the financial condition of the postal service has imptirraA beyond expectation." The reduction in the rate of postage on second class matter and the increase in the unit of weight of first class matter from half an ounoe to an aunoe went into effect with the beginning of the flacal.year, and it accordingly seemed necessary to estimate the year's cash deficiency at •0,400,000, exclusive of the service performed by the Pacific railroads. In reality this deficiency turns out to be less than $6,BOO,COO, which is even lower than last year's. London, Nov. 23.—For tbe first time since Gladstone's defeat an eviction affray baa laminated in a violent attack by the police on the peepio. It occurred at Listowal, county Kerry. Some bailiffs seised a number of cattle in an action for rent and a fight ensued. The police went to the assistance of- ma- tan-1 iffs, and with batons and ti&yoneta succeeded eventually in dispersing tta mob after wounding several of its member*. This unfortunate affair, following so quickly on the heals gf Sir Robert Hamilton's dismissal, will naturally be associated in the public mind with the inauguration of the new Tory regime. Mr. Moriey is going to speak next week on tfa* Irish question. It is. confidently expected that he will make a Strong speech in favor of home rule and against concessions or compromise with the Unionists involving sacrifice of principles. He will review the attitude of the government and the speeches of Lord Salisbury and Lord Churchill in connection with coercion, and announce the firm intention of the Liberal leaders to resist by all the lpaana In their power any steps the ministry may propone in the direction of a coercive policy. He will on tbe same occasion espose the troe state of aflab* between the the tenants and landknds.on the Clanricard* estate* and denounce the conduct of the latter and hold him responsible for the difficulties that have arisen in that part of the oountry. TMs speech will give an immense impetus to the anti-eviction movement in Ireland, and do much to wD lighten English and Scotch opinion as to the true nature of the struggle now going on across the channel between the owners and occupies s of ths land. In the meantime proofs that the gover ament has soot in head foremeet for what la termed vigorous action.

BOSrON'8 MAYOR. O'Brien Renominated and a labor Candidate #leld. Bo6TQ*, Nbv. aa—Hugh ipPBrien was last night renominated f»r maytir by the Democratic ward and clty'taetoMsa. The preliminary labor committee is completing Its work of securing signers to the pledge to vote for George K McNeil for mayor and to use all honorable means to secure his election in the interest of united labor. Mr. McNeil has agreed to stand provided 7,000 voters are pledged to him. Over 5,000 are now on tbe roll The required number of names, Judging from present figures should Be obtained before Thursday night Headquarters have been established and per manent working organisation effected. Ai soon as Mr. McNeil is on nomination, on the basis mentioned, Henry George will come here and speak out doors and in, in the saw way as he did in New York. Mr. MoNed was found in the co-operative printing tttabllahment He was hatless and coatlen, hard at work. "Yea, I.had a long talk with Mr. George," said he in response to the reporter's query. "He is rerj much interested hi the situation in Boston and if Once a nomination i* made will do all fee can to assist it." In such improvements aa the two just mentioned it is the first year that costs; and this having now passed, Mr. Vilas is able to bring down his estimate of deficiency for next year, even with liberal allowance#, to 14,729,554, exclusive of the Pacific railroads transportation. At that rate erf decrease, and with til* continuation and increase itf business prosperity which .moat people hope for and expect, it will not be long before the postal service again pays its own way as It did a few yean ago, witfc two'cent postage, increase of the letter weight allowed, decrease of rate ob second class matter, the special delivery system, and reduction of fees on money orders of |5 or less, all meanwhile accomplished. Ills United States government to-day has more than three times as many postofflces as any country In the world, and its mileage of mail transportation last year exceeded by more than 196,000,000 miles the service rendered by any other government. .1 .

Healleges that his private affairs were exposed, and hi reputation was injured. For ail of which he asks $50,000 damages. Hons* Committees at Work.

At a meeting of prominent labor men about another matter the subject of Mr. McNeil's candidacy was brought up, and every man present spoke warmfy in favor of the plan and promised. his support. Inquiries about the headquarters of District 80 K. at L. develop tbe strong probability that Mr. McNeil if a candidate will have the official approval of this body.

THE JURY OUT, Rot Mo Terdlet In the Case of tbe Ex-Senator Conkling and Mr. Blaine were In tke church together. Warner Miller and Mr. Morton sat in neighboring pews. Gen. John A. Logan, candidate for the vice-preeK doncy with Mr. Blaine, concerning which relation there has been much gossip, was in the city all day, but there was no communication whatever between the atfm, although they were at the same hotel. Ex-Secretary John Sherman, the instrument of Gen. Arthur's dUml—al in 1878, was another of the official mourners on the part of tha senate. The leaders of the ''half-breed" and "stalwart" factions of the Republican party,* whose divisions and quarrels have led to such momentous results during the past six years, and in which the dead President was so prominent a figure, sat side by side in the church. The great men of the Democratic party were present,and President Grover Cleveland, Democrat, rode in the same carriage to the church with Mr. Hayes, and walked arm in arm with him into the sacred edifice. Governor David B. Hill was associated with his opponent of a year -ago, Ira Davenport, in the mourning throng. Ex-Governor whose action in 1881 led to the failure of Senators Conkling and Piatt to secure a reelection, and to the presence of Ged. Arthur in Albany st the time Gui teen's bullet struck down President Garfield, was alsc there. It was also a mournful coincidence that the son of President Garfield and the sou Of President Lincoln, our two presidents who were victims to the assassin's frensy, were together in tbe church.

CHINA AND CANADA. Why tha Dominion Bo« lot Prohibit ImUllislViy Tobohto, Nov.28.—-In the course of a political address at Hamilton Sir John Macdonald, Dominion premier, referring to the Chinese question, defined the policy of the Dominion as follows: The Caniulian Pacific railroad being completed and the necessity for allowing the Chinese into British Columbia removed (and there has Leen a necessity because sufficient white Jsbgr fco work on tbe railway was not possible) a stringent law has been passed, placing a tax on every Chinese immigrant to Canada. The complete prohibition of CHntte labor was not adopted, because from the experience both of California and Australia it was found better to impose • poll tax. Moreover, to prohibit Chinese entering the country entirely might lead to serious treaty complications, China probably saying to Great Britain: "You will not allow our people to enter yonr territory; therefore we will not permit your traders to enter our ports." It was said that the jury, after discussing the subjeet for some time, took a vote -Just before midnight, the result being seven in Cavor of oonvlctlon and five for acquittal.

The railroad tranaportatton service has naturally Increased in cost during the year, with the increase in mileage and in weights carried. Mr. Vilas thinks the method of transportation clumsy. The steamboat service has fallen off, and the oost of the, star route transportation ba* decreased by about (BOO,000. The number of piaoes at ordinary manhandled by the railway clerks rose to the great sum of 6,289,475.

Letter sheet envelopes formed eoe of the past year's experiments, although they had been authorised long before.

Lotos, Nor. 88.—A nit for $80,000 rlsmagse has bean begun in the circuit court by B. D, Coleman against the Adams Express company. This is can remit of tbe detective agency's efforts to ferret out the axpress robbery. Mr. Coleman complains that on the night of Nov. 0, at U o'clock, while he was lying sick with fever at a hording house in Topeka, Kan., his room was invaded by three employes of Pinker-ton's detective agency, who, regardless of his enfeebled condition, proceeded to ransack his room and all its contents and to annoy him with questions. He alleges that they opened his business and private correspondence and read it ; unlocked his. valise and perused its contents; examined hie clothing, and oompeWng him to move, examined the bed clothing for correspondence, and hinted at his arrest, one of the detectives remarking that ha believed at last they had strnak the right mtn. A detective was left in the hall to watch the movements of the plaintiff. On the following day he was accosted in a store by two nmn of the same detective agency, and he was in duress for a short time. Cincinnati, Not. f&—The delegates to the special meeting of the Amsrican association were in nonskw at tbe Qrand hotel nearly all iay and the question of what club will take the place vacated by the Pittabnrg club is jret an open one. Although nothing definite was accomplished much occurred to encourage the American association people, and tho delegates arn in a much happier frame of mind than they ware a week ago. There is a prospect that Pittsburg's plaoe will be filled by tbe Detroit league club, and even should this fail the members of the association have received an offer-that convinced them that stock in the association is worth owning. The Kansas City club offered 15,000 in cash for the bare franchise, without a single player being included in the deal. They also offered to pay the railroad ttn of every team ; In the American association from St Louis to Kansas City and return. This includes every trip that the aaodatkm Wains make to Khnsas City to dIav DwnpinnC'¥ n oidm, This would mean an additional cost of $3,000 to tbe cowboy club. It is not tMEeved, however, that the Kansas City club will be taken in. If Detroit does not draw the priae, the chaneea are good that Cleveland will. The Detroit people say that if tbe league will rescind the guarantee rule they will remain, otherwise they will join the American aaociation provided the latter wfll aooept them. The association, am the other hand, has made no proposition, nor it it probable it will bind itself antil the Detroit* make application for membership.

Nxw York, Nov. 28.—The World, today prints the following: The funeral of ex- President Arthur brought to this city and associated together in the solemn ceremonies more diverse political elements than were perhaps ever connected with a similar occasion before. By virtue of his official position the pretfdent of the United States, a Democrat, was lira to signify by his presence the honor in which the memory CC predecee*,. a Republican, was held. Rutherford B Hayes, last but one of the line of Republicans who had occupied the White House, also cans in to attend the funeral But it was Mr. Hayes, it will be remembered, who dismissed Gen. Arthur from the custom house. The relations between the two gentlemen from that time until Gen. Arthur's death had been antagonistic. James G. Blaine, whose retirement from the cabinet in 1881 Gen. Arthur's accession made necessary, and who defeated Gen. Arthur for the nomination by the Republican oonvention of 1884, alsQ came, doubtless because as a great lead*' of the party he felt it becoming that he should testify his respect to the memory of another eminent Republican. Senator George F. Edmunds, of Vermont, was here as one of the official mourners on the part of the United States senate. Ha had conspicuously refused to aid the election of Mr. Blaine in 1801 Mr. Blaine and Mr. Edmunds met yesterday in the house of death, and there was a painful scene between them which is likely to be much talked of hereafter. Wabhinotoh, Nov. SI—The most noteworthy feature of the annual report of the postmaster general, which has Just been made public, is its declaration that "the financial condition of the postal service has imptirraA beyond expectation." The reduction in the rate of postage on second class matter and the increase in the unit of weight of first class matter from half an ounoe to an aunoe went into effect with the beginning of the flacal.year, and it accordingly seemed necessary to estimate the year's cash deficiency at •0,400,000, exclusive of the service performed by the Pacific railroads. In reality this deficiency turns out to be less than $6,BOO,COO, which is even lower than last year's. London, Nov. 23.—For tbe first time since Gladstone's defeat an eviction affray baa laminated in a violent attack by the police on the peepio. It occurred at Listowal, county Kerry. Some bailiffs seised a number of cattle in an action for rent and a fight ensued. The police went to the assistance of- ma- tan-1 iffs, and with batons and ti&yoneta succeeded eventually in dispersing tta mob after wounding several of its member*. This unfortunate affair, following so quickly on the heals gf Sir Robert Hamilton's dismissal, will naturally be associated in the public mind with the inauguration of the new Tory regime. Mr. Moriey is going to speak next week on tfa* Irish question. It is. confidently expected that he will make a Strong speech in favor of home rule and against concessions or compromise with the Unionists involving sacrifice of principles. He will review the attitude of the government and the speeches of Lord Salisbury and Lord Churchill in connection with coercion, and announce the firm intention of the Liberal leaders to resist by all the lpaana In their power any steps the ministry may propone in the direction of a coercive policy. He will on tbe same occasion espose the troe state of aflab* between the the tenants and landknds.on the Clanricard* estate* and denounce the conduct of the latter and hold him responsible for the difficulties that have arisen in that part of the oountry. TMs speech will give an immense impetus to the anti-eviction movement in Ireland, and do much to wD lighten English and Scotch opinion as to the true nature of the struggle now going on across the channel between the owners and occupies s of ths land. In the meantime proofs that the gover ament has soot in head foremeet for what la termed vigorous action.

The foreign offioe, whose opinion in favor of peace was quoted last night, still bold* fast to the tabef that the csar will give way in time to •void a winter campaign and useless waste of blood and treasure. But of this there is no visible sign. War is still on th* cards.

BOSrON'8 MAYOR. O'Brien Renominated and a labor Candidate #leld. Bo6TQ*, Nbv. aa—Hugh ipPBrien was last night renominated f»r maytir by the Democratic ward and clty'taetoMsa. The preliminary labor committee is completing Its work of securing signers to the pledge to vote for George K McNeil for mayor and to use all honorable means to secure his election in the interest of united labor. Mr. McNeil has agreed to stand provided 7,000 voters are pledged to him. Over 5,000 are now on tbe roll The required number of names, Judging from present figures should Be obtained before Thursday night Headquarters have been established and per manent working organisation effected. Ai soon as Mr. McNeil is on nomination, on the basis mentioned, Henry George will come here and speak out doors and in, in the saw way as he did in New York. Mr. MoNed was found in the co-operative printing tttabllahment He was hatless and coatlen, hard at work. "Yea, I.had a long talk with Mr. George," said he in response to the reporter's query. "He is rerj much interested hi the situation in Boston and if Once a nomination i* made will do all fee can to assist it." In such improvements aa the two just mentioned it is the first year that costs; and this having now passed, Mr. Vilas is able to bring down his estimate of deficiency for next year, even with liberal allowance#, to 14,729,554, exclusive of the Pacific railroads transportation. At that rate erf decrease, and with til* continuation and increase itf business prosperity which .moat people hope for and expect, it will not be long before the postal service again pays its own way as It did a few yean ago, witfc two'cent postage, increase of the letter weight allowed, decrease of rate ob second class matter, the special delivery system, and reduction of fees on money orders of |5 or less, all meanwhile accomplished. Ills United States government to-day has more than three times as many postofflces as any country In the world, and its mileage of mail transportation last year exceeded by more than 196,000,000 miles the service rendered by any other government. .1 . A • On the Saturday following he cam* to St Loots, and was .pproached in hi* room by agents of the descendants, who insisted upon his going to the Southern hotel to answer certain questions, or else to surrender certain private papers and correspondence.

Healleges that his private affairs were exposed, and hi reputation was injured. For ail of which he asks $50,000 damages. Hons* Committees at Work.

At a meeting of prominent labor men about another matter the subject of Mr. McNeil's candidacy was brought up, and every man present spoke warmfy in favor of the plan and promised. his support. Inquiries about the headquarters of District 80 K. at L. develop tbe strong probability that Mr. McNeil if a candidate will have the official approval of this body. Some, however, will probably oppose him. One or two found in the headquarters of the executive board said that they would doap. THE JURY OUT, Rot Mo Terdlet In the Case of tbe Ex-Senator Conkling and Mr. Blaine were In tke church together. Warner Miller and Mr. Morton sat in neighboring pews. Gen. John A. Logan, candidate for the vice-preeK doncy with Mr. Blaine, concerning which relation there has been much gossip, was in the city all day, but there was no communication whatever between the atfm, although they were at the same hotel. Ex-Secretary John Sherman, the instrument of Gen. Arthur's dUml—al in 1878, was another of the official mourners on the part of tha senate. The leaders of the ''half-breed" and "stalwart" factions of the Republican party,* whose divisions and quarrels have led to such momentous results during the past six years, and in which the dead President was so prominent a figure, sat side by side in the church. The great men of the Democratic party were present,and President Grover Cleveland, Democrat, rode in the same carriage to the church with Mr. Hayes, and walked arm in arm with him into the sacred edifice. Governor David B. Hill was associated with his opponent of a year -ago, Ira Davenport, in the mourning throng. Ex-Governor whose action in 1881 led to the failure of Senators Conkling and Piatt to secure a reelection, and to the presence of Ged. Arthur in Albany st the time Gui teen's bullet struck down President Garfield, was alsc there. It was also a mournful coincidence that the son of President Garfield and the sou Of President Lincoln, our two presidents who were victims to the assassin's frensy, were together in tbe church.

The effect of the modification, greatly enlarging the systpa, made at the last session, cannot yet be estimated. In the first year 1,118,830 yttirs were received for special delivery.

CHINA AND CANADA. Why tha Dominion Bo« lot Prohibit ImUllislViy Tobohto, Nov.28.—-In the course of a political address at Hamilton Sir John Macdonald, Dominion premier, referring to the Chinese question, defined the policy of the Dominion as follows: The Caniulian Pacific railroad being completed and the necessity for allowing the Chinese into British Columbia removed (and there has Leen a necessity because sufficient white Jsbgr fco work on tbe railway was not possible) a stringent law has been passed, placing a tax on every Chinese immigrant to Canada. The complete prohibition of CHntte labor was not adopted, because from the experience both of California and Australia it was found better to impose • poll tax. Moreover, to prohibit Chinese entering the country entirely might lead to serious treaty complications, China probably saying to Great Britain: "You will not allow our people to enter yonr territory; therefore we will not permit your traders to enter our ports." It was said that the jury, after discussing the subjeet for some time, took a vote -Just before midnight, the result being seven in Cavor of oonvlctlon and five for acquittal.

The railroad tranaportatton service has naturally Increased in cost during the year, with the increase in mileage and in weights carried. Mr. Vilas thinks the method of transportation clumsy.
