Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lonpon, January 18.—[Copyright, 1887,]— Lord Salisbury was completely unnerved by the shock and the whole of London was deep- ly moved by the death of Lord Iddesleigh. The deceased nobleman was held in affectionate esteem by the people, regardless of party feelings, and there has been much sympathy aroused in his behalf owing to the way he had been ousted from the Foreign office. It is generally believed that his death was hastened by this injustice. The culmigation of the sus- pense and anguish of many days came as he was about to bid farewell to Lord Salisbury, who is felt to be chiefly responsible for his removal from office. His death will cast a still deeper gloom over the surroundings and prospects of the Salisbury Government. THE CAMPBELL DIVORCE CASE. There is to be a determined attempt to re- open the Colin Campbell divorce case. Mr. Finlay, Q. C., Lord Colim’s chief counsel, has, from the very opening of the late trial, felt that he was unfairly treated by Mr. Justice Butt. The principal grounds of the applica- tion for a new trial will be based upon the rulings of Mr. Butt. der here at the thought of the public be- ing treated to another dose of this loathsome case. The Queensberry case is to come up for trial at Edinburgh next Wednesday. The woman whose testimony is relied on to convict the Marguis is not to ap- pear at the trial at all, a commissioner having been appointed to take her evidence. The Marchioness of Queensberry is ill, at least it is so reported, and she will also, no doubt, be absent from the trial. In fact, it appears that the principal parties are to be absent. .The testimony will be inthe sbape of depositions andthe proceedings will be only the mere formality that law requires. THE CUNARD MAIL SERVICE. The secretary of the Cunard Steamship Com- pany yesterday replied to the statement re- cently made out by Mr. Nicholas Bell of the United States Post-office Department, as to the speed of the Atlantic liners, He says that Mr. Bell’s record only covers a period of five months, and that only three voyages of some of the ships are given. He thinks three - ages constitute an insufficient basis fora re- liable average, and quotes the time made by the principal steamers of the Cunard Line, between Queenstown and Sandy Hock. for the year — — $1 last, By this record it appears that the Etruria made nine voyages and an average of 20.42 miles per hour going out and 20.73 miles per hour re- turning home. The Umbria made nine voy- ages atarate of 20.04 miles per hour going out and 20.88 miles per hour returning. Both the Aurania and the Servia fell about two miles per hour below the Etruria and Umbria, the Servia being the lowest. From these fig- ures it appears that the Etruria is after all the fastest ship in the Cunard fleet on a general average and by a very few points, but that the Umbria has made the fastest time on her homeward trips. Both vessels have an aver- age time of nearly 21 miles an hour. AN EXCITING INCIDENT. Additional details of the eviction attempted Tuesday on the property of Mr. Henry V. D. Estere, near Six-Mile Bridge, County Clare, show it to havgbeen one of the most exciting incidents of the kind on record. A force of 100 constabulary was dispatched to decompany the bailiffs and to help them enforce the war- rant. It was a singularly formidable armed body to pounce down upon the poor hut ofa single tenant, John Frost. As soon as the po- lice made their appearance, the dell of the little Roman Catholic chapel was set ringing with terrific earnest- ness and men, women and children At A brass band was When fastened inside Father Little, the parish priest, been piled up Father Little stood bailiffs who had also the door-way.

The Times and the ultra-Tory papers which have been screaming out for the salvation of Bulgaria, and for Prince Alex- anderof Battenberg, are much upset over what the Chancellor said on the Bulgarian question, and they are by no means lavish in their praise of his speech, all admitting, how- ever, thata most serious crisis is close at hand which he approaches like a giantand that he is yet master of Europe. Notwithstanding the death of Lord Iddesleigh, Bismarck’s speech is everywhere the chief and almost sole topic of conversation. — — —— éM. SALISBURY BLAMED, The Premier’s Cavalier Treatment of His Late Foreign Secretary. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, January 18.—Salisbury’s rather cavalier treatment of his late Foreign Secre- tary has had consequences far more dramatio than could possibly have been foreseen. From the testimony of the doctors it is clear that for some time Iddesleigh lived in imminent dan- ger of death from any unusual excitement. The anticipation of an interview with Salis- bury, under such distressing circumstances, and after an intimate friendship, unbroken since their Oxford days, together furnished the sad occasion. Not many days ago he was found lying fainting on a sofa in the Foreign Office. Last week, while en- gaged in magisterial duties at Exeter, near his country residence, he fainted on the bench. These things were known to the lead- ing members of his party. One of Churchill’s chief reasons for opposing Iddesleigh for every office, for some time past, was that he knew the latter was physically incapable of contin- uous or specially anxious work. A colleague of Iddesleigh’s in the Cnbinet i WRITES THIS MORNING: ‘*He clung to bis office as to his life. When he was suddenly gazetted out of the Foreign Office by a curt intimation in the newspapers, I remarked that I feared it would prove his death blow. My prediction has been tragically fulfilled. Iam afraid there can be but little doubt that the crushing blow involved in that announcement hastened the end.’’ All references to the dead statesman, both inthe press and in political circles; are char- acterized by the greatest kindness, and testify to the universal personal esteem which he never forfeited for a moment. When this is expressed, however, the speakers on both sides add, ‘‘An old gentleman suffering from chronic disease of the heartand threatened with palsy, is not exactly the man to hold the reins ofthe British policy at this time ofa grave crisis.’’ England, LORD IDDESLEIGH’S DEATH. LONDON, January 13.—The Morning Post, in an article on the death of Lord Iddesleigh, says: It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that such a serious blow may in some degree affect Lord Salisbury’s Government. Lord Iddesleigh was one of the most single-minded and honorable gentlemen that ever gave their lite 's labor to the public service.’’ The Daily Newseays: It is not in human nature to al- together ignore the distressing circumstances, which, in all human probability, hastened Lord Iddesleigh's death, and those who are respoasibie for thus harrying a true and loyal friend and colleague, may be left tothe judg- ment oftheir own consciences.’’ A BLOW TO THE MINISTRY. The Times tnis morning says in regard to Lord Iddesleigh’s death: ‘‘We cannot affect to ignore the fact that Lord Iddesleigh’s death is a blow to the Ministry and to the Unionist cause. Doubtless the rumors of serious fric- tion between his Lordship and his colleagues will obtain increased currency, but the truth of the matter in no degree justifies the maley- olent guesses of gossipers.’’ A BITTER MORSEL FOR SALISBURY. The Standard this morning says: ‘‘With the sad honors paid to Lord Iddesleigh’s memory will mingle lively sympathy for the Premier, who must feel as an aggravation of bitterness that in his last days anything interfered with the happy relations which bound Lord Iddes- leigh to the Conservative cause.’’ IDDESLEIGH’S LOYALTY. The Daily Telegraph says: ‘‘A more honor- able, straightforward man never spoke in either House. His loyalty to hisparty was not in the least affected by recent events, nor was his confidence in the Government shaken.’’ LORD IDDESLEIGH’S TREATMENT. The unfortunate fate of Lord Iddesleigh has excited sympathy everywhere. The news- papers extol him, and some of them make very uncomplimentary comments on the treatment the dead man received at the hands of the Prime Minister. Iu this respect the St. James Gazette says: It cannot be said that Lord Iddesieigh was murdered. It is no crime to be a young man in a hurry, and it is no crime to pushaman from a stool on which ou believe you would make a better figure. -erhaps some of his assailants will now feel remorse, and especially those to whom he was a joke, not one of whom was worthy to un- loose his shoes.’’ HONORS TO STANLEY. The freedom of the City of London was to- day conferred upon Mr. Henry M. Stanley. The ceremony took place in the Council Chamber of the Gaildhall, and a most enthu- siastic reception was accorded the explorer by a brilliant company. THE QUENN VISITED BY SALISBURY. Lord Salisbury visited the Queen to-day. THE LIBERAL UNIONIST CONFERENCE. The political conference between Gladstones and Liberal Unionists took place at the resid- ence of Sir William Vernon Harcourt to-day. Those present were Sir William Vernon Har- court, Baron Hershell, Mr. John Morley, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain and Mr. George Otto Treveigan, Germany. A RECURRENCE OF THE CONFLICT, LONDON, January 13.—A dispatch from Ber- lin to the Times says: The struggle with France may yet be averred but the speeches in the Reichstag leave no room for doubt that we are on the eve of a recurrence of the conflict era that preceded the Danish and Austrian cam- aign. * SKEPTICISM ANU MISTROST. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Times says: “The speeches in the Reichstag give no gratification to the Russian press after the remarks of M. Flourens, whom Russian papers lauded to the skies. The Novoe Vremya, the Novosti and others receive the German speeches with the greatest sketicism and mis- trust.’’ APPROVED IN VIENNA. The Vienna papers heartily approve Bis- marck’s language relative to France, but the passages relating to Austria are not read with much pleasure. A SOBERING INFLUENCE. s VIENNA, January 13.—Tbe Fremdenblatt says the deciaration in Prince Bismarck’s speech in the German Reichstag Tuesday of German in- difference to Austro-Hun and Bulgaria confirms the statement of unt Kalnoky, Austro-Hangarian Foreign Min , to the legations, that Germany as a peacemaker woul find the Government at Vienna and St. Petersburg ready to settle all nces on a just and pacific basis.

THE BUDGET. e LONDON, January 13.—A St. Petersburg dis- patch says: The budget forthe past year has just been published. It shows a deficit of £5,- 222,662 ; extra expenditures, £1,000,000; ex- penditures for railway and harbor, £6,916,313. The Minister of Finance attributes the con- tinued commercial crisis to the unavoid- able reduction of public and rivate incomes resulting from the epres- sion. He considers it inexpedient to increase the present taxes or to levy new ones as there are resources available sufficient to cover the deficit. He „ to raise 46, 1 for extra expenditures by means of a France. M. FLOQUET’S SPEECH. PARIS, January 13.—M. Floquet, on assum- ing the chair of the President of the Chamber of Deputies, to-day, said he hoped that wise concord and a spirit of compromise would prévail among the members of the Chamber, —— he hoped, would all be animated by patriotic emulation to work for the progress of National institutions, in the first rank of which the Government placed the army. This declaration was received with yg Continuing, M. Floquet. said: When, without distinction of party, we fol- low with equal solicitude the earnest efforts of the valiant youth of France, and when with unanimous impulse we accept every sacrifice to increase our country’s power, we do not feel agitated by feverish impatience or desire; only with tranquil persevering will we place ourselves in position to fulfill ail our duties and secure for France the respect of all. The essential condition of that is peace, which we — as highly as anybody in the world. [Pro- onged applause. } Bulgaria. FLATTERING THE FRENCH. ST. PETERSBURG, January 13,—The Journal De St. Petersbourg says it is gratified at the re- ply given tothe Bulgarian deputation by M. Goblet, the Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs, advisin Bulgaria to come to terms wit Russia and Turkey. The Journal also expresses satisfaction with the manner in which the Journal des Debats commented on the advice, and describes the French paper’s declarations as ‘‘appro- priate,’’ and adds: ‘‘These incidents prove that there is a general appeasement and peace, which we are gratified to record; and the new year, we hope, will not falsify the favorable prognostications with which it com- mences.’’ Ireland.

The Dominion. A MAINE DEFAULTER CAPTURED. WINNIPEG, Manitoba, January 13.—Howard Blackstone, the defaulting bank clerk of the Canal National Bank of Portland, Me., was arrested here last night on a charge of forgery by C. M. Warmel,the Sheriff of Oxford County, Maine, anda St. Paul detective. Blackstone, it is understood, fled from Portland in Novem- ber after defrauding the bank out of $76,000. He secured this amount dy enlarging checks and his depredations extended over a period oftwoyears. The money was all spentin speculation. Warmel tracked him by follow- ing his wife from Portland here. He went here under the alias of Cox. TOBACCO SMOKE, A Blaze on North Sixth Inflicts $1,500 Dam.- age and Causes Considerable Trouble. At exactly 11:55 o’clock this forenoon a fire alarm sounded from box 47 and six engines re- sponded tothe call. The reels paid out some hose and the firemen tapped a few plugs, but the flame which caused the alarm was extin- guished by Chemical Engines 3 and 1 before the aid of the big machines was needed. The blaze originated in the back room of G.S’Renco & Co.’stobacco shop at 10042 North Sixth street. At that number Mr. S’Renco runs his business, assisted by his brother Isadore and a journey- mau named Chas. Finklestein. Isadore and Charles were both in the front room when the fire started and could give no account of its origin, but presumed it came from the stove- pipe which passed through the wood parti- tion, Their attention nad been called to it by a customer who was in at the time and all three had run into the street and given the alarm. The corner half of the room is occu- pied by the Mutual District Telegraph Com- pany. The flre came through the partition, damaging the apparatus, stationery and fix- turesto the amount of $100. About fifteen rubber coats belonging to the messengers were also destroyed. The service of the com- pany was interrupted for about twenty-five minutes. When the alarm sounded and the flames were seen issuing from the front Messrs. Geo. Clark and Jack Furber, who were in the Mutual office at the time, seized the trunk of their friend, Mr. Charles P. Budd, the manager of the Messenger Company, car- ried it safely from the smoking building and carefully deposited it in the slush outside. Judge Sheehan, who has his office in the second story, saw the flames coming in at his front window. He gathered his dockets and enough of the records of the current business to start in at anew stand and went down stairs. The arrival of the department, however, preserved intact the valuable papers and the Judge will continue to dispense justice from the old office. At 12:10 the Department left the scene inthe possession of asmall Babcock which was being played to wet the tobacco. The batidine. which is owned by A. E. Milis and insured by Martin Collins, was damaged about $400. The stock oftobacco, valued at about $1,000, was almost a total loss. MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE. The Charge Against Henry Marshall, Whe Assaulted Little ‘Sis’ Varley. The testimony taken by the Coroner at the inquest held on Laura Belle Varley, better known as ‘‘Sis’’ Varley, the 14-year-old white girl, who died atthe City Hospital, of burns received at the stable of Robt. E. Carr, No. 3130 Lucas avenue, last month, was yesterday submitted to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Dierkes.

Senator McGinnis this morning requested his colleagues to withhold Mrs. Cairnes’ sub- mission petitions until they had accumulated, so that they might all come in together and not burden the daily journal of the Senate. Senator Proctor of Boone resurrected. his resolution which was defeated yesterday, ap- pointing a committee to ascertain what Senate committees were in needof clerks, and se- cured its adoption. Senators Proctor, Clay- comb and McGinnis were appointed on the committee. Bills were introduced as follows: By Senator Gideon: Estabiising a Court of Appeals at Springfield, Mo. y Senator Hunter: To provide for running and paying the publio debt by issuing bonds. y Senator Proctor: Appropriating $35,000 for the State Agricultural College.

Senator Hunter introduced this morning in the Senate a bill funding the State debt, agreed upon bya majority of the members o the Legislative Committee appointed tosettle with the State Treasurer. The measure abolishes the offices and duties of State Fund Commis- sioners, and provides for the funding of the State debt by issuing 10-30 3 per cent bonds. It also provides for a ro. duction of the State taxes by paying $250 ,000 annually on the State debt, thereby lessening the amount of taxes levied for that purpose. The amount fixed is put sufficient to meet the statute requirement, and is considerably less than the amount now paid. THE FOTHERINGHAM RESOLUTION. Inthe Senate this morning Senator Davis- son’s Fotheringham investigation resolution came up for second reading and reference. Senator Moran moved that consideration of the resolution be indefinitely postponed. This brought Senator Davisson to his feet, who stated that while he was unprepared to meet the unexpected attack, yet he thought that the courtesy of the Senate would render a defense unnecessary. Senators Proctor and McGinnis pleaded Sen- atorial courtesy for Senator Davisson’s resolu- tion, claiming that it should at least be referred to a committee — belng is of In such a summary manner. 2 Moran accordingly withdrew his motion to indefinitely postpone, and the reso- lution was referred to the Committee on i Jurisprudence. —— Fesolutions on the death of Senator Van Cleve were adopted, and the Senate adjourned until to-morrow morning. .

WASHINGTON, D. C., January 13.—Secretary Bayard in response to the toast, Our Ooun- try, at the Yale alamni reception last night, said: In the newspapers of to-day, there are speeches reported in another land made by two men who perhaps speak as much for their country or more for it than any other men that ever ruled it. Bismarck and Von Moltke have, within the last forty-eight hours, told Europe and told the world that the safety of Europe and the safety of the many will- fons contained within the Government of which they are a part, can only be preserved by the power of military force. It is sixteen years since there was a clash of a physical force tor Germany to take part in, and yet this is the fruit and this is the result. Brute force!’’ exclaimed the Secretary. ‘‘Is that the end of civilization? Is that all this nineteenth century can offer from her wisest men, and is there nothing to counteract it? If Yale College were & mere school; if it taught men the Greek which you know so well; if it had no lessons other than those the school-masters can teach and the boy can learn, why, the case would not be hopeful for us. But is there no counteracting force in this land of ours that shall meet this terribie confession that comes from the heart of Europe to-day that nothing but BRUTB FORCE CAN GOVERN? „Gentlemen, can we not, to-night, learn something from the words we have just heard and the counsels we have received from the President of this Association? [referring to the response of President Dwight to the toast „Tale, the University.’’] Is there nothing @lee than armies that can govern mankind? Is this the civilization which is announced to us by the press from Germany to-night? Is that the force that governs America to-day, and are we to look to such a future? May heaven forbid. What force shall be used to strengthen; to what can we look to avert from us what seems to be the fate of civilized Europe to-day if those who are their spokes- men speak the unhappy truth? It seems to me there are other forces that may be ex- emplified by the University of which this ex- cellent man is President (turning to President Dwight]. It cannot be that brute force of military power is to be the security. of any people or guardian of any civilization that is to progress under the rule that was done eighteen hundred and eighty-seven years ago, and, therefore, when you ask me ‘Et qui illam regit,’ I do not think I could answer you better than by the simple words: ‘Yale,’ Ido not mean the college or the number of schools that are col- lected in the university system in the town of New Haven, but I mean the American spirit of education ; something better than scholarship, better than professorship, greater and strong- er—the development of the highest capacities of God's highest creation—man. ‘*We etill may find in the hearts of this Re- public something that shall protect the com- munity from military force, something that shall make military force only the ultimate recourse for settling difficulties, resorted to as a temporary aid and always subservient to the end in view—the mature advancement of a people who shall live under a humane Gov- ernment.’’ Frequently during tne delivery of the speech the Secretary was interrupted by applause, but the fervid earnestness with which he poke induced a fixed attention on his au- ditors. A — which seldom acoom panies a postprandial speechreigned through- out the room, and all the faces surrounding the board wore a thoughtful look. Mosby’s Disoovery. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. O., January 18.—Gen. Pieasanton was shown last night the two relics of the war which, it is alleged, were dug out of the War Department archives by Col. J. 8. Mosby of the Oonfederate Cavairy, who Is gathering material for a book of reminis- cences. Gen. Pleasanton said that he had no recollection ofthe matter. He characterizes the letters as forgeries. The General is eharged with having said the morning after — 2 report that the only thing he was give Mosby was a halter. Viiet, who was on the Gen. Sherman says that @ remembers having heard the matter talked of. The date of the letters, June 12, was three days’ before Pleasanton's cavalry fight with Stuart at Brady's Station. On June?’ of that year Hooker’s army was on the north bank of the Rappahannock. Lee was then movin towards Pennsylvania, confronting him at Culpepper. Mosby was operating in the rear of Hooker’s army, attacking his line ot communication with Washin ton. Two days before this he crossed into land and reuted a cavairy camp at Seneca. — was at that time at the height of his military success. Matthews Renomination. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTOH. WASHINGTON, D. O., January 18.—The in- dications, as has been stated, are that the re- nomination of Recorder of Deeds Matthews will meet with greater opposition than his original nomination received. Mr. Matthews as made several visits to the Capitol, and has consulted a number of Democratic and Republican Senators on the subject, but he has received but little encouragement, as it is reported that several Democratic Senators who originally favored his confirmation are now opposing him on the ground that they are not eatisfied that his renomina- tion is oonstitutional, in view of the fact that it was once rejected dur ing the present Oongress. 6 President however, bas been led to believe by some Senators that recruits will be gained from the Democratic side for Matthews, and though not enough to secure his confirmation if the Re- — — generally vote against him, of which ere appears no doubt. It is reported that if atthews is rejected for the second time the ident is very much disposed to look out for another colored man for the place. Poor Benedict. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPaTcou. WasuineTor, D. C., January 15.—The out- look for the confirmation of Public Printer Benedict is daily growing worse. There is a pera! kiok being made by Senators and Rep- tati about the work on the Record. It is hardly probable be offered in the H condemning the work that is dein out. The trouble with Benedict is he is — — to run the office with cheap and in- ferior labor. Appointments by the President. Wasnuinoron, D.

Mr. Morgan introduced (by request) a bill to authorize the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole Indians to bring suits in certain United States Oourts relating to the condemnation of their property for publicuse. Referred. The Senate then took up a resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Vest, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish a fulland complete statement, by itemized account, of all money aid out on account of prosecutions of crim- nal cases in State courts by Federal officials of the departments from July 1, 1879, to De- cember 1, 1886, with a list of officials, agents or employes engaged in such prosecutions ,the amount paid them and for what specific ser- vices, etc. Mr. Vest stated in reply to Mr. Edmunds who had moved to refer the resolution to the udiciary Committee) that it had been based upon a Washington dispatch to the St. Louis Republican, referring to a suit brought by Mr. Bliss inthe Court of Claims, for fees disal- lowed by Comptroller Durham. Mr. Ingalis stated thata like resolution had been sent to him with the request that he offer it; that he had declined to do so without further explanation; and that he had received a letter which convinced him that the under- lying motive was a personal one to redress a personal grievance. The resolution was modified, according to a suggestion of Mr. Edmunds, by making it ap- ply also to civil cases, and it was then adopted. On motion of Gray the Senate bill to pay M. ©. Mordecai $37.991, in full compensation for carrying the mail from Charleston, S. C., to Havana, Cuba, between October, 1859, and July, 1860, was taken up and passed. The Senate then, at 1:10 p. m., resumed con- sideration of the conference report on the in- terstate commerce bill. The report eee been read in full, Mr. Hoar moved that the Senate disagree to the report, insist on its former action and request a further conference. Mr. Cullom claimed that his motion to agree to the report took precedence of a motion to disagree. Mr. Harris, oneof the conferees, desired every Senator to realize the fact that when he voted on the question of agreeing or disagree- ing to this repert, he was voting in effect, on the question as to whether there should be any Tegisiation on the subject during this Congress. Mr. Hoar characterized Mr. Harris’ state - ment as extraordinary, and appealed to the Senate not to submit to that kind of threat. Here was a bill which embodied four great salutary propositions on which the Senate, the House of Representatives and the American eopie were substantially agreed; and the enate was now told that none ofthese things should be accomplished unless there was engrafted on the bill what was a departure from the doctrine of reasonableness, unless there was engrafted onit a principle against which the customers, and not the rail- roads interested inthe carrying trade, were protesting on the ground that the inevitable effect of it would be to put up freights and to make large branches of business (now carried on successfully and profitably) impossible in the future. Mr. George advocated the adoption of the regort. He said he had no doubt that the effect of the legislation would be to increase freight rates tempora- rily, not because that was the legitimate result of it, but because the raliroad companies would make it the occa- sion of unnecessarily and unjustly raising the rates in order to bring the measure into dis- repute. He was satisfied that if the confer- ence report were disagreed to, it meant no legislation on the subject during this Con- gress. Mr. Hoar: Why? Mr. George: Because, after the extreme eoncessions made by the conferees on each side, if this reasonable report (much fairer to the railroads than tothe people) be rejected, no further concessions can be made. Mr. Hoar: Does the Senator mean to say that if the majority of the Senate is of opinion that this long and short haul section is absurd, will raise rates (not only temporarily, but per- manently), and will defeat the purposes of the bill, any member of either house will re- fuse to vote for all the other excellent legisla- tion (which he also approves) of the bill Mr. George: There is a feeling, a sentiment, asuspicion (if Imay use the term) that this bill and all legislation on this subject is to be defeated by dilatory motions. I donot know how far that goes, and do not entertain that suspicion myself. I believe, however, that it will be the policy of the rail road companies (as soon as the bill becomes a law) by all sorts of tricks and maneuvers to raise rates unreasonably and unjustly and to charge that to this bill. Every effort, device and trick will be resorted to by the railroad companies for the og) op of bringing into disrepute legislation on this subject. Mr. Frye gave notice that he would move to recommit the report, with instructions, and claimed that that motion would take prece- dence of the other two motiens. Mr. Evarte then addressed the Senate in op- position to the report. House. WASHINGTON, D. O., January 13.—Mr. Bland of Missouri from the Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures reported back the reso- lution calling upon the Secretary of the Treas- ury for information as to the monthly pur- chases and coinage of silver during the last fiscal year; also information as to whether the law ving iy By purchase and coinage of not ines than $2,000,000 worth of silver bullion has been complied with.

Trading in mining stock was very light to- day and values generally unchanged. > = + Badiraguato could not hold upon the strength of the telegram received from the mine yesterday and to-day it was offered free- ly at $1.90. f * A broker received a telegram this morning from Ohicago saying that ata full meeting of the Western Flax Seed Crushers’ Association to-day the price of linseed oll had been ad- vanced to # cents. 42 No letter was received from the Dinero this morning.

THE ELECTION OFFENDERS TO BE PRE- SENTED TO THE STATE GRAND-JURY. More Evidence Showing Crookedness De- veloped To-Day—senator Edmunds Op- poses Bashaw’s Confirmation — Another Atrest—The Work Done by the Redistrict- ing Committee—Political News, To-morrow the attention of the State Grand- jury now in session atthe Four Courts, will be directed to the frauds perpetrated at the last election in this city. The Oftizens’ Com- mittee held a consultation yesterday, and de- cided to secure the co-operation of the State Grand-jury. Evidence has already been developed of 869 eases of forgery for which no provision is made under the United States laws, although its sections are comprehensive. All the par- ties guilty ot fraud can be reached by the Federal Grand-jury, but in order that they may not escape presentment for any offense proven all means will be employed against them. The Executive Committee of the Citizens’ Committee is acting promptly in everything pertaining to the election. The Citizens“ Committee has entered heartily into the work of purifying elections in this city. When attention was first directed to the sus- picious circumstances attending the last elec- tion a number of gentlemen met at the St. Louis Club. They decided to take up the investigation. At a meeting held the next day $5,000 was subscribed within twenty minutes to prosecute the cases. That day $1,000 was paid in and the remainder was laced subject to the call of the Executive ommittee. Special officers were employed at once, and as soon as the Grand-jury meets a volume of testimony will be presented against a number of local politicians. It has been decided, if possible, to discover the criminal acts of the politicians, who make use of the strikers. but remain in the background them- selves. How much evidence has been adduced against those will not be made public for the resent. The State Grand-jury will decide on ts action at to-morrow’s session. Developed by the Contest. An uninterrupted session of the Frank- Glover contest court was held to-day. Mr. Nathan Frank announced that since Mr. Dyer’s appointment as special assistant to the United States Attorney his time was occupied in his new official position, and the contest- ant had accordingly excused him. Mr, Frank appeared for himself, and - con- ducted the examirgation of the witnesses. Mr. Donovan conducted the cross-examina- tiou for Mr. Glover. The room was filled with colored men, nearly all of whose names have already been published in the Post-DISPATOH. John McDonald, Martin David, Thomas Cates and John Jackson were examined by Mr. Frank and cross-examined by Mr. Don- ovan. They all told the same story. They had registered and been transferred regu- larly; had not read the published proceedings of the Board of Revision, and did not know that their names had been stricken from the lista until they presented their ballots at the polls when they were rejected. The publica- tions made were sufficient under the law and on this ground Mr. Donovan objects to the count of the votes. While these cases cannot, for the reasons stated, affect the contest which is developing the facts, they nevertheless give good reason to presume that fraud was committed. One in- stance was developed to-day. A colored man who had liyed at 223 Lombard street for sev- eral years was not found, or at least it was so reported by the reviser, and his name was taken from the books. H. Small, rear, 1008 Wash street, was an unsus- vicious looking entry on the books. his was stricken off by the Board as it was stated thatno such person lived at the number designated. The F. H. Small registered as above was the paster ofthe colored church at that number and is known to every man, woman and child in the neighborhood. These facts do not bear on the contest case, and under the reasonable inter- pretation of the laws the parties were not qualified to vote. From such evidence there can be no doubt, however, that those having the registration and revision in charge were guilty of fraud or the most reprehensible neglect. The guilt can best be placed alter an investigation in the Grand-jury room. The Redistricting Commission. The committee appointed to redistrict the city has not yet hituponafinal plan. Before this time next month the Commissioners will be called upon for a report by the Circuit Court, but it is doubtful i they will be prepared. The work is an extensive one, but it might be said that the commission is hampered by not having fuller powers. As it is, the committee is obliged to divide the city into twenty-eight wards, 2 to each an equal number of votes. The total registration is about 56,000, which will give each ward 2,000 votes. The work of splitting up the city into twenty-eight wards of 2,000 votes each would not be so dif- ficult but for the fact that the commission has not Leen given the time orthe funds to take a census, aud must, consequently, preserve the precinct lines, which give them the only figures they can get on the voting population. Some of these precincts contain less than one hun- dred votes, while others contain nearly three hundred. Regularity in shape and in num bering the wards must also be observed. At the last meeting of the commission Judge Fisse announced that he had prepared a plan according to which, ifadopted, each ward will have about 2,000 votes. Neither Mr. O’Connell nor Judge Lindley has yet submit- — * — for the redistriction. A meeting will shortly be held at which each Commis- sioner will submita plan. One of these, ora fourth based on these, will be drawn up and submitted to the court. Senator Edmunds After Bashaw. Information has just been received in this city to the effect that Senator Edmunds has taken charge ofthe Bashaw charges. Before Attorney-General Garland turned over the Bliss letter to the Judiciary Committee, Sena- tor Edmunds, its Chairman, offered a copy of the letter and some other papers in the case. He regrets the decision of United States Attor- ney Bliss, who refuses to take any action that might be construed into opposition to Bashaw's confirmation. An effort was how- ever, made to get up the evidence showing that Mr. Bashaw during his visit to St. Louis had been in consulta tion with Dick Lancaster and Ed Butler in the former’s office at the Custom-house and in the company of Mike Kenefick and Pete Mor- rissey after they wereindicted. This evidence could only be of use in the form of affidavits, which could not be obtained, and no further action was taken. A Judge Jugged. James Fitzpatrick was arrested this morning at Main and Plum streets, by Deputy United States Marshal Couzins. He is one of the crowd indicted by the Grand-jury before the holiday adjournment. Fitzpatrick was taken the Marshal’s office. He was a Judge in the Third Ward on election day. This morning he stated that he had not done anything on election day which could be understood as an offence against the election laws. He is awaiting his release, as friends have agreed to furnish bond. There are three or four other indicted parties still at large. Left the Track. Attica, N. T., January 18.—Lehigh Valley passenger train No. 63, due here at 10:35 o'clock last night, left the track about one and one- half miles east of here.

The publication in the Post-DisratcH last evening of the report of the Board of Steam Vessels Inspectors, in which they stated the cause of the explosion on the La Mascotte was the ex- cessive head of steam, was not very agreeable news to those who are in the hatte of taking excursions and putting their lives in the hands of the engineers. e ré- port does not tend to increase the public’s confidence in 1 After reading the report through no ong would nd his enjoyment of river rides mate- rially enhanced. Inone portion Robert Red- den, Chief Engineer some time before the explosion, in gi his testimony said, that in a conversation once had with Billy O’Brien, an employe in the engine room, Billy told him that one day, when the gauge showed 160 pounds of re tw Capt. Thompson camé down and asked for more steam. O’Brien showed him the certificate of inspection allowing only 156 pounds and said he was be- ond the legal limit then. To this Capt. — replied; ‘'D—N THE LAw,’’ I want more steam.’’ Capt. Shaffer, one of the local board of in- spectors who made the investigation, was seen to-day by a PostT-DISPATCH reporter as to the position of Capt. Thompson in the matter in view of the evidence mentioned in the report. Ws can do nothing in the matter, as no charge has been lodged against Capt. Thomp- son. If, for instance, some person on board the Mascotte ut the time should make a for- mal charge we would have to institue an in- any: ‘ „What would be fe peasy” „All we could do, I think, would be to recommend the revocation of his license.’’ A very startling condition of affairs on board the river steamers was revealed by Capt. Shaffer’s next reply. „Is the carrying of excessive steam fre- quent?’’ „Oh, yes, it’s done repeatedly. Why, take the case of this man Redden.

Thy, Redden often used to find when he came on duty that 200 pounds had been put on in his absence. He would at once reduce it, but as soon as he would leave, up it would go again.

An Inoffensive Gentleman Mistaken for a Celebrated Character. John P. Brown, General Manager of the St. Louis Cattle Company, Colorado Oity, Tex., was on the floor of the Exchange this morning under the careof Chas. Schmieding. Mr. Brown is a modest, unassuming gentleman, with the air ofthe Western border hanging about his slouch hat and his sandy goatee. Mr. Brown had not been on the floor more than five minutes when he noticed the eyes of a number of peo- — fixed upon him rather curiously. Mr. rown was embarrassed. He fully appreciat- ed his own attractiveness but he did not know y that should render him the subject a observation or remark. Presently Mr. Brown noticed the eyes of others turning in his direction, and as he proceeded on his way he found that a small crowd was follow ing him at a respectful distance. Mr. Brown’s embarrassment became painful, and he took refuge behind the grain pit. But here his —— was even more unpleasant. The ulis and beats turned their attention to him. Dignified men clambered on the call-board chairs and craned their necks to look at him. tell you, he’s got nerve, said Judge Lan- ham, who stood onthe edge of the crowd. ‘*I’d back that fellow to fight anyone. He looks like it, don’t he?’’ said some one else. „For Heaven's sake who do they think I am? asked Mr. Brown. Why, Frank James, of course, said the nearest citizen. Mr. Brown made his escape as soon as pos- sible. Shortly after his departure it was stuted that James had come oa the floor to have alook atthe grain pit with a view to going into the scalping business. THE WRANGLE IN NEW JERSEY. Gov. Abbett’s Version of the Use of Police Officers in the Assembly. TRENTON, N. J., January 13.—In view of the many rumors charging Gov. Abbett with hav- ing instigated the ejectment of Legislative officers from the Assembly chamber by police- men Tuesday afternoon, that gentleman last evening gave his version of theaffair. Gov. Abbett says he was waited on by members ef the House, who represented to him the digor- derly scene in the Assembly chamber, and asked his advice. He told them that they had the power of removal, and they replied that the persons engaged in the disorder had resisted their authority. He then sug- = that Trenton policemen might be called n to remove all persons not properly in the chamber, andthatended his connection with the matter. The situation in connection withthe Sena- torial struggle is not relieved to any extent by yesterday's proceedings in the Assembly. Gov. Abbett is more hopeful on account of the seating of Mr. Turley, while Senator Sewell’s friends think Mr. Abbett’s election out of the question. It is not likely that the Senate will organize to-day. The name of William Waiter Phelps has been suggested as a substitute for Mr. Sewell, as one whom the labor men in the Assembly might more readily support. —— THE FIRST CASE, Selling Oleo. To-morrow in the United States District Court willcome tp the first case tried in St. Louis of a violation of the internal revenue law on oleomargarine, which went into effect a few months ago. The opératives of the Internal Reyenue did some lively swooping down on butter dealers at that time, but none were held except Bruc« & Bro., whose ease will be called to-mor. row.

Prosecution of a St. Louis Butter Dealer for JAY’S LITTLE JOKE. MERCHANTS INDIGNANT OVEB MB. GOULD’S SLY TRICK. — Mayor Francis in Consultation with Mr. Bell and Mr. Broadhead—Action May Be Taken to Annul the Poplar Street Franchise—Mr. Portis Claims That the County Court Could Make No Time Limitations. The publication in the PoOsT-DISPATCH of yesterday of the proceedings in the Supreme Court in the ease of the Oity of St. Louis vs. the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern road attracted wide-spread attention, and if the slippery Mr. Gould could have heard the comments passed upon it by the merchants of St. Louis, he would not have felt very highly flattered. There was great indignation in the business community over Mr. Gould’s sly trick. On "Change this morning merchants severely criticised Mr. Gould and Mr. Portis for their bad faith, although few cared to express ar opinion for publication. FRANK GAIENNIE, the President of the Exchange, said that if Mr. Portis had broken faith with Mr. Bell and Mr. Broadhead, his action could not be too se- verely condemned. ‘‘I believe in affording facilities for entering the city to all competing lines,’’ said Mr. Galennle, but I do not believe in giving a franchise to one company to the exclusion of others. I believe the city should do all in ita power to prevent the Iron Mountain or any other road obtaining such enormously valuable privileges as the Iron Mountain would have under the order of the County Court. Ido not think it would be possible for any road to obtain such privileges now. That has been tested once and de- cided. LOUIS FUSZ, the First Vice-President of the e shook his head dubiously when Mr. Gould’s name was mentioned. ‘‘Ithink,’’ he said, that yesterday’s action proves to us that we should all keep our eyes pretty wide open when Mr. Gould is around.’’ GEN. D. P. GRIER was inclined to be conservative in his ex- préssion of opinion. ‘*Yesterday’s action,’’ he said, ‘‘would seem to show that Mr. Gould was trying to get a little more than he was en- titled to. Ithink, however, that we should i Mr. Gould credit for what he has intends doing until it is shown that he really does not intend to do it. Iam in favor of affording railroads facilities for getting into the city provided they do not damage the city in doing so. I think our com- meree depends on this. Mr. Gould asks per- mission to cross three streets in the southern part of the city. I do not know how much damage this will do.’’ THE MAYOR. A reporter called upon Mayor D. R. Francis this morning to ask his opinion of Mr. Gould’s action. Said the Mayor: If Mr. Portis has not observed the comity between lawyers, as Judge Brewer would say, his action was, in my opinion, very reprehensible. As I under stand it the City of St. Louis-is protected by the limitation clause of the County Court’s order, but that does not change the position of Mr. Gould or Mr. Portis. I am very much surprised. On that very day Mr. Gould was up here and talking very pleasantly. He said that he felt that the interests of the city of St. Louis were identical with the in- terests ef the Missouri Pacific Railway — He spoke to me about the proposed Union Depot and other matters. Whilelthink the city is protected under the terms of the order, that is not all that is to be taken into consideration. We ought to know what the animus of the Missouri Pacific was and whether Mr. Portis acted in good faith or not. If the Missouri Pacific has tried to trick the city we will know how to treat that road hereafter. There are a great many little courtesies which we can show the Missouri Pacific road which we may not feel under any obligation to show it if we find the company or its officers ready to take advan- tage of the city on every occasion.’’ Toward noon Mr. Francis had a consultation with Mr. Bell and Mr. Broadhead in his office. He discussed with them not only the action of Mr. Portis yesterday, but also the claim of Mr. Broadhead, thatthe Missouri Pacific had no right to occupy THE POPLAR STREET TRACK. „The city was very well protected, he said afterward. ‘‘Mr. Bell nad an understand- ing with Mr. Broadhead by which he was to look after the matter. I do not think the Supreme Court will attempt to pass upon anything but the right of the ity of St. Louis to 1 — Whatever else Mr. Portis may have brought into the case I do not think the Court would consider. This is shown by Judge Norton’s question asked of Mr. Portis. In the Poplar street track mat- ter Mr. Broadhead seems very confident. I shall look into the matter and should the Mis- souri Pacific Railway Company obtain any other connection with Union Depot it may be neces- sary for me to take some action. I do not think it would be advisabie to do 80 whiie the road has no other means of — the depot, for I think it would be detrimental to the com- mercial interests of the city to cut, off this means of communication.’’ Mr. Portis’ Argument. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCcH. JEFFERSON CIty, January 13.—The argu- ment made by Mr. Portis yesterday afternoon was to vestthe present owners of the Iron Mountain Road with the same powers under the County Court order as were enjoyed by the former owners of the road and he claimed that the rights ey per the road by the State could not be abridged by the County Court. This point, if sustained, disposes of Mr. Beil’s time-limitation conditions. M. Portis’ answer to Judge Norton was of a character to excite suspicion in itself, and it is hardly probable that he would spend three days in preparation and an afternoon and morning in argument for the tr gry of ob- taining for the road an order which is worth- less. As Mr. Bell states, there are time limitations; but ifthe Court holds as Mr. Portis argues that the County Court was only an agent and had no right to annex conditions, then the limitations cut no figure. AU of these points were not made so clear in the argument, being clouded in a mass of legal references. Belleville. Mesars. George Gray, Otto Krebs and Wesley Pieper have made application at Springfield for a charter to establish a mill for the manu- facture of wire nailsin thiscity. The capital stock is $10,000. A new machine recently invented and patented by Mr. Gray will be used for the manufacture of the naiis. The machine is in appearance something similar to an ordinary nail machine, bat differs from it inasmuch as the points of the nails are made by revolving knives. The new company will ereet a factory in this city In the near future. The Belleville Bowling Club will meet this evening for the annual election of officers. Harry Williams and Frank Tram, the two men arrested in St. Louis, charged with rob- bing Ferdinand Grot, a French Village farmer, near the East St. Louis toll-gate, were brought here to-day and lodged in the County Jail. A requisition had to be procured, the men re- fusing to come without one. Grot identities them as the men who robbed him.

NEW SYSTEM TO BE ADOPTED ON THREE STREET RAILWAYS. Specifications for the Franklin Avenue Changes Prepared and Contracts Let— Work to Begin in March—Maxen. Experi- menting with an Electric Motor—Mafitt, Peper and Scullin Watching and Waiting— Broadway and Olive Street Lines to Change Metor Power This Summer. The inroads that have been made by the Cable street railway into the business of the horse - car lines serving nearly the same terri- tory, caused the owners of those lines to form a combination some time ago to divide the expense of a num ber of experiments that were contemplated and which looked to the adoption of some motor power other than horses. This combination included every street railroad in the city except the South St. Louis line (Sixth street). Two motors were experimented with, a Noble gas engine and the Terry cables. The gentie- men who stand at the head of the street car companies say the expense has gone much beyond the limit they originally in- tended to go, and two of these have dropped out, not wishing to put in money where they had not any hope of recovering the sum or any portion of it. The Noble motor was not a success. It was tried on an experimental track and whatever its defects might be the gentlemen interested keep to themselves. They have decided,how- ever, that it will not do. P. C. Mafhtt was in- terested separately in electrical experiments and recently John Maxon has gone into that fleld. The greatest effort of the combination, however, has been con- centrated on the Terry cable. AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL was constructed at the Franklin avenue sta- bies by Mr. A. H. Terry, the inventor of the system, which is a combination of improve- ments on the original and primitive cable. Julius Walsh, who has suffered in com- petition with the present cabie railway — as much as John H. Maxon was the one railroad manager most deeply in- terested in the experiments, and was so im- pressed with the practicability and value of the system that he determined to adopt it on the Franklin avenue line. With this object in view he had _ specifications prepared on — submitte to him and received ids for the iron-work to be put in on his road. Thecontract for the manufacture of the grips, gulleys andthe iron work of the conduits was given to the Todd-Stanley Manu- facturing Company and that company is now at work getting out the required material. As soon as the weather will per- mit—possibly about the ist of March—the work will be begun of putting in the conduits. This work will not be as extensive as on the Locust street cable laying as the Terry con- duit is much smaller, and can be set upon the resent ties of the Franklin avenue line. The nventor claims the operation of the road will not need to be suspended by reason of this work. A block at a time can torn pag . — — Boy with rop 8 n gran 8 be aid betwee the tracks. The cable will be lala at first trom the stabies atthe Three-Mile House,on Easton avenue, to Fourth street, Subsequently the extensions will also be cabled. An expert mental road a block long will be laid near the stabies, which will contain curves, cross and all the difficulties of a cable road. This will be kept in constant operation in order that whenever the operation of an en- tire line suggests improvements such can be made on the experimental road, and if they prove proper and valuable the improve- ments then can be rut on the entire road. THE BROADWAY LINE was expected to adopt the cable system also and Christian Peper, the President, has favored that idea, but, as yet, he says, no conclusion has been reached. He is stin awaiting the result of experiments. choice lies between an electric and cable with the chances favor of the latter. Whatever is done the new motor power will be put upon the entire Broadway line from the Water- works to Wild Hunters.

This has not occurred before since Mr. Maxon ob- tained the control of the company. In event he adopts either the cable or electric motor the Vamdeventer avenue extension willbe madea part of the main line. The Fourteenth Street Line will also be operated by whatever power is adopted for the main road. John Scullin is waiting also. He wishes to see what the other roads will do. said he this morning: **All the stre car men of the country are experimenting. When they come to some conclusion I shall adoptit. For the present! shall not put in a cable nor use any motor. We wanta powes that will be adequate, subject to few accidents and cust no more or very little more than the present horse-system. Cables cost no more to operate, but a cabdie road costs three times as much as a horse railroad. The one cable road in 8t. Lonis pays better than any other street railroad, but tha is because it draws largely from tile business of the Washington avenue, Franklin avenue, and the street roads. en those roads put in cables as they expect to do na summer they will find the business more even ly distributed and the OPERATION LESS PROFITABLE than they anticipate. We shall make n0 changes until we know whether electricity, gas, cable or any other motive power is the right thing to adopt.’’ harl reen is out of the experimenting combinafion. The only rival for the bulk the business done by the Fourth street and Ohouteau “avenue line he controls would be Scullin’s Gravois road lines, and he loses nothing by reasoa of their competition now as his cars are bet ter, cleaner, and are run more frequently. As his road has been under an expense of some 575,000 this ear, laying granite and new rails, the irectors do not feel the road is able to stand any further expense and so advised that no further sunt be thrown into the experimenting fund. the proposed street railway projected to from Fourth and Olive, out Olive, over FEigh teenth street, Tayon avenue bridge, Dolmaa and Hickory streets — 2122 and Park avenues into the scattered terr tory west of Jefterson avenue is built and supplied .with cabie and other improved motive power, t largest portion of the Fourth Street Line’s business will be taken from it and will compel the adoption by it of improvements.

JOSEPH SPECHT ‘Which Will Be Opened With a Reception This Evening—A Modern Mansion Which Has Something More Than All the Modern Improvements—Details of the Reception. their handsome new home on West Pine street—the occasion being the nineteenth an- niversary of their marriage. The exterior of this artistic home has been greatly admired, and is pointed out as one of the best speci- mens of the revival of the Gothic renaissance to be found in the city. The house being placed upon a moderately high terrace, the portico, which is supported by two figures in terra cotta. A wide doorway leads to the entrance hall, which is separated from the reception hall by one side of which is perched a stuffed pea- floor. On the other side is stationed upon a pedestal a life-size statue of a Nubian slave, bearing aloft a candelabra filled with colored wax candles. In his other hand extended is a card receiver. A jeweled lamp of Moorish design isswung by chains from the ceiling. The portieres which shut off the libr on the right, andthe drawing-room on the left, are ofthe richest material, one of them being an exquisite work of art. A painting upon tapestry by Crovosky, the subject a life size picture of a girl crossing a rustic bridge, her arms filled with faggots. The halls are all finished in amaranth wood and the walis of rough stucco — painted in blue with gilt effects. The broad stairway begins back of this arch, and by easy ascent a wide balcony is reached, facing the entrance and over-hanging THE WIDE FIREPLACE, and superbly carved mantel, which fills up the entire lower end of the hall, forming a pretty picture with its burnished brass orna- ments and wood fire. Placed upon the center of the balccny is a head of the moun- tain goat. This balcony is lignted by a large stained glass window, the central figure being a life-size picture of the Goddess of Plenty, a pleasing vision which attracts the eye immediately upon entering the door. The entire lower floor is arranged so that it may be thrown together; only draperies of lace and satins and portieres of serving to reak the view, and make more enchanting the limpse beyond. This floor is all finished in natural cherry, and the furniture is of mahog- — the same shade, richly carved and up- holstered with Parisian — get in turquoise blue and bronze combined, the same colors blended in the soft Gobelin carpet which cov- ers the floor. Above the filmy lace curtains which drape the windows are artistic hangings of turquoise satin, supported by a broad cornice made of beaten bronze and copper with Moorish heads appearing in the design. All of the decorations of the drawing-room are of Moorish design. The chandelier sus- pended from the center is of oxydized copper figures, and tracery of the same school of art. The pedestals which support the busts are of beaten copper with crescents outlined in jew- els. The — meee | carved mantels support cabinets, the back of which are formed of bronze orcopper in bas-relief. A fretwork arch leads into the music-room where the same color tones are preserved, and the statues and bas-reliefs are of Moorish musicians or dancing figures. A piano made to order to match the wood, aharp, a guitar and other instruments furnish the apartment. On the right of the hall is the library, opening by sliding doors or portieres into the dining-room. The latter is a large bay-windowed apartment fur- nished with English oak, — carved with hunting-scenes, the chairs upholstered with liluminated and embossed leather. Upon the walls hang panels carved with TROPHIES OF THE CHASE in bas-relief and in the nooks are — pedestals on which are posed ures of the fishers from the coast of Normandy. From this room sliding’doors lead into the breakfast-room, which is finished and furnished in the same manner. Upon the Walls everywhere hang numerous pictures from well-known artists—Meeker, Tracy, Brenner, Chase and others—and rare vases and bric-a-brac decorate the cabinet. The ceilings and many of the walls are works of art in oll and water-coior frescoes. The beauties of this home are greatly enhanced to-day by the decorator, who has bestowed plants and cut flowers in profusion wherever the effect would be pleasing. Broad-leaved plants from the tropics, palms and foliage plants of bright hues fill the odd nooks and corners and line the grand stairway to the balcony where they are massed with artistic effect. Ferns and palms bank the fire-places and mantels. Jardinieres fill the windows and great bowls of cut flowers fill the air with fragrance. The grand stairway which leads to the basement is also bordered with plants, and the large billiard-room, and club-room, and reception hall, in which is built a great — — fire place in red brick, have been beautifully dec- orated and presenta fairy spectacie, under the skillfuljhapas of the caterer, Beers having been given carte blanche to furnish an abun- dant menu comprising all the delicacies of the season. Vogel’s Orchestra of thirty-five pieces will be stationed in the reception hall on the second floor, where the ‘‘biue room, the „red room, the Japanese room’’ have been set apart as dressing-rooms for the ladies and gentlemen. TOILETS. Mrs. Specht will receive her guests in a toilet of black Lyons velvet made with a long marquise train, slightly bouffant at the back, the front composed of two panels, one formed of dlack frieze velvet brocaded on white ottoman rep, the other of flounces of duchess lace, laid on in semicircular curves. Down the center extends a broad band of pearl passementerie. The square cut corsage with gilet of pearl em- 1 is‘filled with duchess lace, and the bow sleeves will be met by long kid gloves, Diamonds and a point lace fan will complete the toilet. Mrs. E. V. P.

THE PRIZE-FIGHTING CASES, They Are Quietly Disposed of in the Criminal Court this Morning. When the prize-fighting cases were called in the Criminal Oourt this morning, Mr. Bishop of the Circuit Attorney’s office asked thatthe defendants be called. This was done, but none of the defendants answered, except through their attorney, Mr. Rufus J. Delano. Mr. Bishop thereupon announced tothe Court that the State would entera ‘‘nolle prosequi’’ as no conviction could be had and that there was a mistake in the first place in indicting them. The cases grew Outof the Dan Daly and Arthur Flint fight, that took place last Febru- ary at Turner Hall with closed doors, and at which only a favored few were permitted to be spectators. The principals were Grand-jury in the 1886, together with areas indicted by the h of Bob ng abetting manner. CAPTURED IN TEXAS. Chas. Jones, the Murderer of Chas. H. Foreman, Run Down.

Free from Lime and Absolutely Pure. — The Royal Baking Powder is made from Cream of Tärtar specially refined and prepared for its use by patent, processes, by which the Tartrate of Lime is totally eliminated. This highly important result has been attaineds onlyAwith great care, labor and expense. In money alone a quarter- off a million dollars has been invested in patents, machinery and ap- pliances by which the crude Cream of Tartar, being procured) direct from the wine d'stricts of Europe, and subjected in this country to these exclusive processes, is rendered entirely free, not only from the objectionable Tartrate of Lime, but {from other foreign substances. This adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing Royal Baking Powder; but, as all its other ingredients are selected and prepared with the same precise care and regardless of labor or expense, an article is produced that is entirely free from any extraneous substance and chemically pure in all respects. -.. No lime, earth, alum or impurity of any kind can, by inad- vertence or by the use of adulterated articles or otherwise, ba introduced into the “Royal,” and it contains no ingredients except those certified by the most eminent chemists necessary to make a pure, wholesome and perfect baking powder. It costs more to manufacture the Royal Baking Powder than any other, but it is, as shown by chemical analysis, the only absolutely pure Baking Powder made. Royal is the only Baking Powder made that is freo from both lime and alum. THE ILLINOIS SENATORSHIP. USED A RED-HOT POKER, A Man and Wife Tell Conflicting Tale Before Judge Cady.

He said thatthree months ago he came here from Louisville and six weeks ago sent for his wife. They took rooms at the house ot a Mrs. Tay- lor, adressmaker living at No. North Eleventh street. His wife’s conduct made him suspect her of not being true to him, and they have been quarreling pretty much all the time since, she, although quite young, using the vilest language in the debates. Sunday she moved without his consent to No. 1121 Pine street, forcing him to follow her, and that evening she came home very late. He asked her where she had been, and she said she had been at church. This struck him as very remarkable, as the last place in the would suspect her of going. He doubted her word and thought she had been to some im- proper piace. They quarreled and kept the quarrel up until Tuesday night, when she told him to pack up his things and leave. At _ifirst he was roing to do so, but afterward changed his mind and lay down. While he was thus reposing she struck him across the left side of the neck with a red-hot poker, burning a scar four inches long.

If State Senates generally follow the precedent set at Jef- ferson City, the executive sessions which cover so much Senatorial courtesy’’ and office brokerage at Washington will soon fall into ‘‘innocuous desuetude.” Ivy Tue Davisson resolution shall be adopted and an investigation of the Pros- ecuting Attorney’s office in St. Louis be ordered, we hope the investigators will course, he has no time to attend to such the election laws anc the ballot-box. TERMINAL FACILITIEZ The Post-DisPatcu is not Opposed to granting the railroads direct cdpnection with the trade of St. Louis. On the con- trary we recognize that such connòptions are of greater benefit to the trade of St. Louis than they are to the railroads tiigm- selves. If we refuse to allow the trainato come into our warehouses, factories, mils and furnaces, we cannot expect to com pete with rival cities in which such facili ne protection of g as the enforcement , ties are universal. What we are opposed to is the unfair, underhanded and even dishonest way in which the railroad companies almost in- variably carry on their dealings with the city. The attempt made yesterday at Jef- ferson City by the attorney of the Missouri Pacifico Road was an unusually fia- grant instance, but it was only one out of many. In fact, we cannot recall an instance in which these corporations have dealt fairly with the city. They have not kept faith with the city in building the Union Depot, nor in bridging the railroad tracks, nor in the proposed connection between the Union Depot and [ron Mountain Depot, nor in the use of the Forest Park track, nor in the Lesperance street switches; they have even fought against their own interests, asinthe matter of lowering the tracks leading to the Union Depot. All this has had a bad effect. It has in- jured the railroad interests and prejudiced the public mind against the railroads. It has created a state of feeling which ought not to exist, but which can be made to disappear only by a change of policy in dealing with the city government. Public opinion in St. Louis is intelligent enough to understand that railroad transportation is the foundation of all modern commer- cial and industrial prosperity, and thatthe increase of railroad facilities means the in- crease of prosperity. The people of St. Louis are not opposed to railroads. The suggestion made by Mr. RICHARDSON in the Thanksgiving number of the Posr- Disrarcn that the whole business portion of St. Louis east of Fourth street should be given up to railroad switches has been universally applauded as g@ far-reaching and sagacious suggestion f improvement. But when the attempt/ is made to secure this improvement withoyt the consent of the city and by a snap judgment furtively obtained, public favor is changed to in- dignation, and resistance is at once chal- lenged. Let the railroad companies deal fairly and openly with the city. Let them recog- nize that the city has rights which must be protected. Let them show a willing- ness to listen to suggestions which are made without malice and in the interests of the general welfare. Let them ask what is reasonable and let them Ask for it openly and above board. Let them abandon the offensive idea of any monopoly franchise. Let them deal with the city as fair-minded people deal with each other and they will have no diffi- culty in getting everything they could reasonably wish. They will have the support of the press where now they have so much opposition. They will have the support of the business terests. They will find public sentiment in accord with them. They will find t the prevalent suspicion and mistrust wil] readily give way before the evidences of good faith and fair dealing, and will be replaced by an era of good feeling in which the harmonious action of the rail- roads and the people will promote th welfare of both. THE ELECTION FRAUDS, It did not need the evidence furnished by the indictment and arrest of more than fifty persons on charges of fraudsin con- nection with the late elections to convince the public mind in St. Louis that such frauds were committed. After the election of 1885 the Post-Drs- PATCH published column after column of evidence proving beyond any possibility of doubt that the whole course of the eleo- tion from the opening of the registration to the issuing of the certificates had been tainted by every form of irregularity and fraud. The technicalities of the law were successfully invoked to prevent the estab- lishment before the courts of what had been shown by the press, and the triumph of fraud was assured. The November election of last year was managed by substantially the same per- sons who had perpetrated the frauds of the year before, and they seem to have been emboldened by the protection they had received. The revision of the regis- tration, the appointment of the judges,. the custody of the ballots, the counting of the votes—all was under the control of the same influences and with the same result. There is no impartial observer of the course of politics in St. Louis who does not feel certain that hundreds if not thousands of names were irregularly stricken off the registration lists and a corresponding number of false and fraud- ulent names registered; that perjury was commutted at the polis; that false names were voted on; that bribery was exten- sively indulged in, and that returns were venal judges and Im the way of the new ministry in the This is w ple neve for such @ purpose, the pending investigation to its final re- sults there is imminent danger that justice may again bethwarted, and the cause of corruption may be confirmed in its power by another escape from the punishment it has so richly deserved. —_ ~~ Tur may talk about the exciting effect of BIsMARCK’S speech upon Lord IDDES- LEIGH, but the farewell interview which he had called to have with SaLisBuRY was obviously a far more exciting and dan- gerous thing for a man afflicted with val- vular disease of the heart. He had been made an earl and removed to the House of Lords against his will, because he was House of Commons. Then he was singled out for involuntary retirement, and was pompletely shelved by the unexpected sceptance of his resignation, tendered is is customary with those of other cabi- met members on the occasion of CHURCH- Ws resignation. This was crushing tréatment toa man of his pride and promi- nence as a party leader for so many years.

Protected to Death. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Shipbuilding in Maine, according to the cur- rent official reports, has fallen off 500 per cent in the last decade. This ‘‘decline and fall off’’ is certainly not attributable toa lack ef protection, for the ingenuity of man has never devised more effective machinery of law than this country has to protect the ship- building industry. Itis,in fact, protected to death. It needs liberty. — MEN OF MARE. AGOB Pasna is the first Christian to become Minister of Finance to the Sultan.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. New York, January 13.—The WORLD says: »The Republican party in Congress is a political dog in the manger. It would not reduce the taxes when i had the power, and it has thus far pre- vented the Democrats from doing it since the people entrusted control of the House to them. Mr. Hiscock, one of the Republican leaders, admits that the business of the country will suffer if the surplus money shall continue to accumulate inthe Treasury. ‘But the Demo- cratic party will be responsible, he chuckles. ‘They have the Executive and the House, where the money bills originate. It is their business to devise means of dealing with the subject.” And yet when the subject of tax- reduction was breucht up in the only manner from which action could be hoped at this ses- sion the Republicans voted with a smull mi- nority of Democratsto prevent eyen its con- sideration. The Morrison bill could have been changed from title to enacting clause, but the Republicans would not permit tax reduction to be considered, This is the exact truth and the people know it. Let Mr. Morrison put them on record again. Keep it up.’’ THE SUN. The Sun says: We do not see how any one can read the speechss made on Tuesday in the Reichstag by the greatest statesman and the greatest general in Europe without a convio- tion that war is closeat hand. The admis- sions and the warnings by which Bismarck and Von Moltke enforced the demand for in- stant additions to the German army were identical in tenor with those uttered in the Prussian Landtag during the eventful spring of 1866, and again four vears later in the North Ger- man Parliament. The alarm excited on both these earlier occasions was presently but too well justified at Sadowa and Sedan, and they have profited but little by such analogies and precedents who do not now recognize the im- minence of aconflict between Germany and France.’’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune sans: Prince Bismarck’s speech is a remarkable admixture of optimism and pessimism. One-half of it is taken up with demonstrations of Germany’s friendly relations with rival powers, and the security of its position in Europe; and the remainder isa passionate appeal for additional arma- ments, larger military budgets, more men and along period of service. His confident asser- tion that the Empire’s relations were never better with Austria, Russia and France is followed up by a frantic call to arms for an impending European war. He takes the most hopeful view ofthe present state of Continental diplomacy, and yet, in the event ofawar with France, despairs of finding an ally in Europe. Heis confident that the dis- position of the Paris Cabinets has been and is acific, yet he forecasts a campaign in the near uture for the recovery of Alsace- Lorraine and the ue of Hanover, and affirms that the possibility of French invasion is asufiicient motive for the army bill. THD TIMES. The Tirnes says: ‘‘Undoubtedly the senti- ment in favor of freer trade has grown; un- doubtedly it is stronger now on account of the accumulation of the surplus in the Treasury which ought to be stopped dy the remission of taxation. But the force of public sentiment in the matter is limited and is not as yet control- ling. It is stronger in other parts of the coun- so far as can be judged, than it is here. thful men who have try The inteiligent and f conducted the agitation in this region remain persistent in their labors, but their numbers do not increase nor does their following. That the protective features of the tariff will be surely removed we have no doubt, but that result must be hastened by other methods than have of late been adopted. THE PEOPLE’S FORUM, Opposing the Bridge. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The report of the Board of Government En- gineers in your to-day’s issue is mo surprise. It was a foregone conclusion. They invariably advocate what is, and are frightened at inno- vation. Their opposition to the jetties and to our present bridge ie well known, This free bridge idea ori ted in the Transportation Committee of the Merchants’ Exchange, was — gre d discussed, and the conclusion reach that it was a t public necessity, a corrective of one br „terminal charges and discriminations. It is singular that railroads always build low bridges, and wives to describe their husbands, the por- above us and the balance usually is into smaller sections at Alton and would have no difficulty in passing under one more low bridge with spans of 500 feet in the clear. The our lower river steamers can and io high w the have 90. None o pass under it, their’ ine tod e ’ 4 0 — at any time. of the are niy Eve bpldge is somewht of an obstruction to navigation. This bill provides, however, that the Secretary of War shall condemam or have the bridge altered at the ase of owners if found to be any serious obstruction, at any advocates of this bill are at} aa ridge as may by themselves best be and the general interests involved. Should a consensus of experts show conclusively that 4 high bridge was best, under all circumstances it would be built. The bridge contemplated, however, wonld be within ten feet as high as the present bridge under the draw. There are usually eight months in the year of low water, also when the bridge draw would not have to be used, and the number of steamboats is constantly decreasing, as railroads allel the river. Then St. Louis is to-day virtually the head of the lower river and the end of the upper river trade. Each trade re- uires a different type of boat. Should the ‘ransportation Committee, and the incorpo- rators of this bridge fail to secure what they 0 long have contended for, theycan derive some satisfaction from the proposed 8 tion of the 2 bridge arbitrary, which is alone due the prospect of competition. But shduld this sword of Damocies be re- meved we would see the arbitrary again rig- idly ia force. The present bridge manage- ment is trying to establish a cast-iron agreement, with all roads “or | it, so as effect- ually te estopp the building of a new bridge. But its masked opposition and its machina- tions in and eut of Congress are understood, and it is to be hoped will not succeed. There always are obstructions im every country to all enterprises—some 1 — solely by selfish motives, but in this country at least the greatest good te the greatest number must prevail. „F. SHIRMER.

COMEDY AND TRAGEDY. |#s% WILSON BARRETT AND HIS COMPANY IN THE TRIPLE BILL. A Test of the Tragedian’s Versatility Which Was Splendidly Borne— The Color Ser- geant,” A Clerical Error” and “Chatter ten’’—Substantial Stage Beauty—The Re- appearance in New York of Rosius Vokes —Denman Thompson's Serrow — Amuse- ment Notes. The value of the triple bill which was given at the Olympic yesterday afternoon in Mr. Wilson Barrett’s repertoire is considerable, not only because of the enjoyment it affords an audience, but the opportunity of testing the versatility of the tragedian and his com- pany. The Color Sergeant gave oppor- tunity to several members of the companywith- out either Mr. Barrett nor Miss Eastlake. The cast was well selected and presen the piece with admirable spirit and with artistic effect. Mr. Austin Meiford made a capital comedy part of Rob Atkins. He gave \t character and an amusing interpretation. The other mem- bers of the cast were Miss Alice Belmore, Mr. J. H. Clynds, Mr. C. Fulton and Mr. A. H. Bernage. Mr. Barrett and Miss Eastlake appeared in „„A Clerical Error’’ and ‘‘Chatterton.’’ In the tirst Mr. Barrett assumed tne role of a r vicar, and it is the least of the merits of the that his personality which was so strong as Clito was merged in that of the staid, easy- oing, kind-hearted cler an. ec — r was perfect, even to the intonation, which habit usually gives the Church ef England clergy. The part called for quiet comedy and patbos,the expression of intense, but 17 pressed emotion, and Mr. Barrett succeeded in icturing the delicate shades of emotion and n hiding undera smiling exterior which yet suggested grief to the audience the breaking heart of the 2 self-sacrificing man. His voice was a bit hard in his —_ pass- ages, but the finale, where the Vicar treats his own confession of love as a joke and gives his intended bride to his nephew, was most ar- tistically and effectively treated. In ‘‘Cnatterton’’ again there was a most complete change of character in the impulsive fiery genius of 17, and again Mr. rrett showed his power of character delineation. His nature is evidentiy sympathetic and adaptable for the thought-mad, starving, fretted genius fuli of beautiful dreams, of hopes, of ambitions and of enthusiasm, but crushed and broken by the neglect and in- gratitude of the world and of his friends was portrayed in vivid and yigorous colors. The task was a difficult one to sustain a character so entirely out ofthe common run, but it was admirable, and the pathos of a fine soul vainly beating itself to death against the stone wall of inappreciation was graphically drawn. The bursts of enthusiasm, the fine inspirations of genius, the agony of despair and the scorn ofthe world were all pictured with a fidelity of spirit and detail which chained the attention of theaudience. The death scene was realistically depicted, the only fault which could be noted, and that is rather a matter of taste than of fidelity, was an over-impetuosity and the use of an outcry, the metallic tone of which, while it perhaps added to the horror of the scene, jarred somewhat on the ear and left an unpleasant impression. Miss Eastiake in A Clerical Error’’ hada sweet girl who is suffering from disappointed affection and who —— sacritices herself to make another happy to portray and she did it quietly and artistically. Her morning robe was an original design in dresses Which at least had the merit of oddness. In ‘‘Chat- terton’’ her task was even slighter as Lady Mary, the poet’s love. Altogether she was amusing and attractive. Her appearance could be improved by the addition of more colorin her makeup, as the footlights exag- erated her white complexion almost to ghast- iness. Mr. Frank Emery as Perry and Mr. Austin Milford as Nat Boaden must be credited with clever comedy work. This bill will be repeat- ed Saturday night. To-night ‘‘Olito’’ will be given for the last time and Hamlet is an- nounced for to-morrow evening and Saturday matinee with Mr. Barrett as Hamlet and Miss Eastiake as Ophelia. — — — — ROSINA VOKES WELCOMED, Reappearance in New York of the Talented Comedienne. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCH. NEW YORK, January 13.—Rosina Vokes had a very enthusiastic reception on her appearance at the Standard Theater last night. The au- dience seemed delighted that the talented actress was not only to play to them once more but once more to charm them with her graceful dancing. Miss Vokes appeared in two of the pieces presented onthe treble bill and with her very clever company gave a varied and laughter-inducing entertainment. Two of the pieces were novelties, the first be- ing a comedy entitled ‘‘The Baron’s Wager,’’ by Sir Charles Young, Bart., the author of Jim, the Penman;’’ the second a comedy in one act entitled A Double Lesson’’ by B. C. Stevenson, and the third piece which was entitled, 4 Pantomime Rehearsal,’’ proved to be the success of the evening. Sir Charles Young’s comedietta is as poor as could be made of the kind and presumabl has done service in London as a play whic could be presented while the audience was entering the theater. Mr. Stephenson’s comedy is better, and if not brilliant serves the purpose excellently in providing Miss Vokes opportunities for dis- playing hertalent. The story is a very slight one and of course is only there for the pur- 22 of allowing Miss Vokes to teach y Moncrieffe how a lady should sing a comic song, or dance a polka, or execute a Scotch sword dance most gracefully. There was a very effective bit of tragedy at the conclusion of the comedy for which Miss Vokes was rewarded with warm applause. The fun of the evening, however, was in the playing of the Pantomine Rehearsal.’’ In this Miss Vokes wasin her element. Gordon Dalzell, as Capt. Tom Robinson of the Four- teenth Dragoons, was a capital imitation of the British militaire and his whistling song to his own piano-forte accompaniment was quite artistic. Weldon Grossmith as rd Somer- sault was ‘‘deucedly’’ funny in his assumed — 1 sang a comic song as success fully as his brother of Gilbert & Sullivaa fame could. Miss Helena Dacre as Lady Beauclerc, Miss Mabel Miller as Miss Violet and Miss Agnes Miller as Miss May contributed their share to the success of an hour of delightful - SUBSTANTIAL STAGE BEAUTY. Light Opera Favorites Who Are Cast in He- role Molds. On the score of size, the Carleton Opera Company stand head and shoulders over any other opera company in the country. Carle- ton’s taste evidently runs to the heroic. He is a large man himself, and with a reversion of the usual affinity of big men he must admire big women. Several of the ladies of his com- pany would make first-class members of an Amazon brigade. The fragile and delicate type of beauty has few expenents in his forces, and the audiences at the Grand are wen the substance, the pink-cheeked, apple- T divinities of the oper- c stage. Zstheticism finds no fair, zephyr-like, por- celain beauty, with limp and us grace, to tepd on. The 4 adorns thes of the Grand is solid; it fills space and outlines itself in rounced curveson the only in lack of stature, the space between the of her head and the soles of her feet being ex- uts it In , his salted boodie would rather think about k about.’ There is a healthy, bouncing, corn-fed ro. bustness about the beauty of the Carleton ge! which is refreshing after ths straight- ined, delicate ves, ranged even to the living skeletons of the average — 2 hat is even better, the robustness is linked with cleverness and good looks. Denman Thompson’s Sorrow. By Telegraph to the Post-D1gPATCH. PHILADELPHIA, January 13.—A little white hearse and three black cabs solemnly drove away from the handsome residence, 1810 Green street, to-day and a white-haired old man stood at the window waving a sad farewell a, the tears streamed down his cheek. The old man was Denman Thompson, the actor, whose humorous delineations have for many years made him a favorite wherever he appeared. The little hearse contained the body of his bine-eyed, fair- haired little3-year-old grand. daughter, Alice McFarland, who had been his — — companion, and whose me rattle had lightened for him many a weary ou r. He said he first received the news of her death on — 1 night, while presenting for the nrst time in New York the new play, ‘‘The Old Homestead.’’ **Little Alice,’’ said he, ‘‘had been ill for some time, and Ihad received telegrams of her condition daily. Dr. Agnew had been at. tending her and hoped that she would recover when the telegram reached me and almost prostrated mewith grief. But the curtaln was rising, the audience waiting, and witn 3 heavy heart I hid my sorrow, acted my part, and the audience never knew what the night’s work cost me. There are times when an actor has to act in more senses than one. His audience must be satistied; His sorrows are his own not theirs. I got my\ first lesson years ago when my boy lay dead at — „and I was feigning hilarity on the 8 e. The little funeral procession moved out to Mount Peace Cemetery and the little coffin was followed through the snow by the priet-strich. en relatives to the family vault, whence it will be removed to New Hampshire. Mr. Thomp. son left tor New York on the (o clock train, Amusement Notes. The Australian Novelty Company give an entertaining programme at the Standard.

A party of gentlemen were invited to meet the distinguished tragedian, and the event, which took place at 1 o’clock, was a most pieasant one.

OUR FORTIFICATIONS. The Report of the Board Criticized by Sir Andrew Clarke. New YORK, January 18.—A London, England special to the Tribune says: The Times of Monday published an article on the reports of the United States Board of Fortifications in which, while commenting on the thorough- | ness of the investigations, the writer dis- approyes the recommendations of the Board on the ground of the cost of the proposed fortifications. Over twenty-seven million pounds sterling is out ofall proportion to the defensive re quirements ofthe United States, says t Writer. For one-fifth of the sum Euglan could raise her coast defences the world over, to a standard of efficiency which could prob aby satisfy the most exacting theorists. ’’ our corresponnent showed the article to Sir Andrew Clarke, formerly Inspector-Gen- eral of Fortifications, one of the highest au- thorities of coast defences in England. ‘*‘lentirely agree with the writer, whom! ee pyro sald Sir Andrew. ‘‘Such costl fortifications belong to the old school. would do away with them altogether. It is an open secret that Italy regrets having er- ended so much money on fortifications. zermany is simply waiting to see what En- giand does. But would not the proposed fortifications render the ports so defended practically in- vulnerable against any attack by sea? asked the correspondent. SIR ANDREW'S PLAN.

Judge Normile is now preparing to crack the “old chestnuts’’ that have been lying dormant on the docket of the Criminal Court so long. This morning the case of Private Detective Henry W. Huthsing and John, alias „Cuckoo“ Quinn, charged with fraud, which been hanging fire over two years and a halt, was — 2 The defense elected to try Quinn first, and took the forty-eight hours al- lowed them by law in which to challenge the jury. This is a case growing out of the sale of the old ‘‘Health Office’’ saloon on Sixth street. Uuthsine had some kind of a mortgage on the lace, and got Quinn to sell the saloon for him. Quinn sold it to Fred Becherer for $1,950 on May 5, 1884, and the latter, who was un- able to do any business there, sold it out at * 1088 01 about $900. He then brought a charge of fraud against Huthsing and Quinn, claiming they had made false representations to him in re- to the value of the stock and fixtures and the business of the piace. Quinn is the same man who was held yesterday for the Grand- ury for turning a gold brick trick on Levi itortz, a jeweler on Eighth street, above Franklin avenue. IN GREENWOOD CEMETERY.

ENCOURAGED BULLS. The Strength in Wheat Renewing Faith in the Market, But Bears Still Selling. 14 14 from Jones, McCormick 4 Kennett, hicago, to the POST-DISPATCH. CHIcAGO, January 13, 1p. m.—Wheat opened this morning at about last night’s close and with afew orders to buy. The sellers were scarce, and May advanced to Sc before the orders were executed. Up to noon the market was lifeless and left entirely to the small sealp- ers, and was featureless until Mr. Ream ied 880 for 250,000, which Gifford sold to him. Later Mr. Ream sold a big line at about 85c. At noon a number of selling orders came on the market and, aided by the bammering of Singer and others, and heavy selling of Hutchison, broke the price to Aae, but the reac- tion to Se was sharp and surprised many who had sold at the bottom. Miimine bought some wheat on the advance and gave the market additional strength. The few bulis that are to be found here feel very much — 4 by the better feeling that has de veloped in the last twenty-four hours, while the other side smiles and advises selling on the bulges. New York bought freely right at the close, which was strong. Bran was dull and featureless. Trading in provisions to-day has been irrreguiar and somewhat experimental. The market is pretty well evened up, and traders have been feeling their way. The avance in pork, or, rather, the secret, was due a momentary outside demand when but little was “was helped by some buying by Hutchinson. The market gradual- ly receded to the initial point, but towards the close firmed in sympathy with a strong wheat market. Lard was very quiet, but strong. Closing Prices—3 P. M. Reported by s. W.

Sales: This side—Prairie, $8@10.50 for prime to fancy; mixed timothy, $8.50@12: prime to fancy timothy, $11@18.50. East track stock sells about $1@2 per ton below the above rates. Provisions—There was more life to the mar- ketand the business transacted was larger than for some time past, but the tone was weak and the tendency was toward a lower range of values. A great effort to be secretive was made bythe sellers generaliy, probably because they didn’t care about the public knowing how cheap they were — their stock go at.

Lead was stronger and decidedly better, an improved demand and a higher New York strengthening the market. Had it not been for the absence of local corroders at a meeting in Chicago to-day, there is no doubt but that an active business would have beén transacted. As it was, 10 cars chemical hard sold east side at $3.95 and sales were made to go East at $3.95 for common and & for refined, the amounts of which were not learned, Their New York house telegraphed John Wahl & Co. that free sales of common had been made at 85 — and it was probable that $4.35 was obtain a 8.

Firmness was once more prominent in the Liverpool market to-day, futures moving up 1-64d and closing firm and a good business at hardening rates reported in spots. Yet a cable from Manchester quoted the market there as quiet, ver r and rather easier.’’ Inthe face of this duil- ness and the large port receipts in this coun- try, with no particular strength shown by our markets, this firmness in Liverpool was right encouraging. It failed, however, to help the New York market where fut- ures weakened off after selling some higher early in the day. Spots in that market were quiet.
