WEAR, BOOGHER & CO, LATEST EDITION, WHOLESALE — —— the streets of St. Louis. was sent by him to the House of tes, and he tried to have the bill passed by appearing before committees, ete. He did not kaow of any members of the House ap proaching him on the suvject of money. He could not say that personally he had any know!l- edge of the matter. He had been informed tnat delegates demanded money of persons in the company for passing the bill. He was so informed by Alexander Cochran, superintendent of the factory. The witmess’ brother, the secretary of tits company, reported to him that members of House called on him at the office and conferred with him relative tothe paymentof money 6 them. He personally knew of no member of the House exacting benefit or reward for his action on that bill in the House. The names of the mem- bers of the House who approached Mr. Cochran were given to witness by that gentleman. Mr. Brennan was one of the men named. Hehad a conversation with members of the House on the hight the bill passed. (This was in answer to a question by. Mr. Marriott)” The members were Judge Davis, Judge Terry ana Mr. Richardson. “This conversation,” said Mr. Allen, was la ef- fect that the Brush Association had been ap- proached by members of the House on the sub- ject of the bill. I toid them that If those parties voted against the bill or if the bill was de- feated I would MAKE IT VERY WARM for the Hause of Delegates.” Patrick Egan,a member of the House, was next called. He testified. that he was a saloon-keeper. He never knew of four members coming to his saloon and quarreling about bribes. One Sunday after- noon Gates, Cossman and other members came to his saloon and asked him to vote in favor of gum- wood on Fifth street instead of granite. In turn, Mr. Brueggeman, Mr. Alt and Mr. Rooke ques- tioned Mr. Egan as to whether they had ever been in bis saloon and quarreled about a Dill. Witness answered in the negative each time. Judge Davis in dismissing the witness said that he never understood that it was ln Egan’s saloon that the quarrel occurred. Mk. 8. c. CLUBB, president of the Wiggins Ferry Company, testi- ned that he had had no conversation with any of the members of the House except the members of the committee, who treated him very, kindly and passed his bill. No one that he had spoken toin the House Sad made a proposition. He knew nothing personally about any solicitation. He had heard rumors. He did not think he would be justified in speaking of rumors. Dr. Taussig asked him once if he had any difficulty in the Hous®; and said that he had heard that the witness had some trouple. The witness replied no. The witness would not undertake to east a slur on kny man, and would only speak of facts within his knowledge. Mr. Marriott was called, and asked by Mr. Brueggeman if the quarrel he had heard of be- tween Delegates had been in Egan’s saloon, in South St. Louis. He said he dia not know where itwas. He aid not think it was in Egan's saloon, He heard it was in some Saloon in Carondelet. MR. ALEXANDER COCHRAN of the Brush Association was the next witness. He testified thathe spoke to members of the House of Delegates on the subject of the elestric wire bill, in order to see how they stood. He had no personal acquaintance | with the members; had gon to one person In par- "ticular and discovered that he had no objection to the bill, but there was something in the way. “A man named Tom Rohan told me he was ac quainted with members of the House, and that he had some influence with Pat Brennan. Brennan agreed to vote for the bill. On the morning of the day the bill came up, Rohan came to me and told me that Brennan wanted to see me. I went with him to see Brennan; Brennan toid me that he wanted the president of the association to come and see him. I asked him what he wanted. He said that the president of your company had ‘seen’ a numder of delegates a few nights de- fore. On questioning him as to what he meant by ‘seen,’ I learned that it meant a money consideration. laskea him how much he wanted, Hesaid, ‘enough to treat the boys.’ Lasked him bow many boys he wanted to treat. He said he would tell that to the president of the company. Being pressed he said he wanted anywhere from $25 to $100 for four or five men, whose names he would tell the president. He said this matter would influence him to vote for or against the bil. I told him he could not get one cent from us. Part of this con- versation was in the office of Mr. McAllister (also a delegate). The rest ot it was in the sa- loon on the northwest corner ot Seventh and Pine, and took place in Mr. Rohan’s presence, where we had adjourned from our office, Brennen told me he CONTROLLED A NUMBER OF . VOTES. On being questioned by Mr. Kaiser the wit- néss said Brennan was in earnest at the time, and witness’ impression was that if the money had been paid a promise would have been made. In answer to Mr. Brueggeman witness said that 3 JOHN A. SCHOLTEN PORTRAITS: No. 920 and 922 Olive. lighted his theater for five years.

You said you came after mformm tion about the Mil. I don’t know what your . ject was. McAllister was given a jeb by me to mend the roof. He never did the work. I called on him because he was aroofer and because he was near my place. I told McAllister afterward that if the bill passed I would give him the job of roofing our building in the spring. This was mentioned incidentally,’ Mr. Cochran was handied freely by all the members, but the above information was all that was squeezed out of him. Mr. Cochran was then dismissed, A P PATCH reporter asked Judge Davis, chairgfan d the committee, to examine the witness as to the other outsiders who claimed ‘o be able to control votes in the House. “Yourg man,” said the Judge, with an impressive air, “we are not inves- tigating outsiders; we are investigating delegates, We haven't the time to examine the whole world.“ The committee adjourned until to-morrow morn- ing at the request of Mr. Slevin, Mr. Sens wacker, it appears, did not want his case to de touched until this after noon, as his attorney could not be present at thas ~ tune. Mr. Sievin could not be present this after- noon, and so further investigation was postpongd — until to-morrow morning. Newspaper men and delegates were the only ones present during the investigation. The committee appeared to be dazed by the result of their inquiries, evidently being surprised that they had really uncovered something. Mr. Allen will be recalled in the morning, Mr. Tom Rohan will testify,. and Mr. Whitman, a reporter, will also be called. There will be racy developments, no doubt.

SHELBYVILLE, April 22.—The prospects for wheat in this section of the State are not 80 la- ering as they were a month ago. Reports trom various parts of this and adjoining counties show ag that ibe recent frosts have given it a decidedly =~ backward turn, in many flelds forcing the roots. entirely out of the ground. The cold rains of the past week have been of no benefit. Tracts site ated in the timber lands and botsoms are looking better than those on the open prairies. For the a next few weeks plenty of rain and warm weather will be necessary, until the plant grows high “a enough to hold moisture and protect itself from drought.

The committee is composed of “Messrs. Davis, Slevin, Kaiser, Bruggeman and MacManus. The latter was not present. Mr. Marriott, formerly Speaker of the House, was the first witness ex- amined. He said he knew nothing of any bribery of his own knowledge, and he did not pay any at- tention to what he heard on the street. He said he had heard a number of times that bribery was going on, but he couldn't cail to mind who it was that told nim. Mr. Marriott was dismissed, and M. A. Fanning, a reporter for the Post-Dis- PATCH, called. Mr. Fanning testified that he had deen told by Mr. W. L. B. G. Allen, of the Brush Electric Light Company, that he had been approached by some of the members of the House on the subject of the electric wire Dill, and that these members made a personal and direct proposition to him, that for a certain consideration they would vote for his bill. The consideration was not mouey. Witness did not know who these delegates were. Witness gave testimony as to what he had heard concerning demands for money by delegates on the Sectional Dock Company's bill, Wiggins Ferry Company bill, Southern Hotel, Union Depot and Forest Park Railway bill, Anheuser-Busch switch bill and the Schawacker matter. Witneds heard that Mr. Schawacker had been given a bundle of what he supposed was money, by Warren McChesney, and when Schawacker. had found no money in the bundle he made a vigorous kick about it. Judge Terry told the witness that Schawacker had told him he had deen gen a bogus bundle of money at a hotel. Judge Terry had learned from McChesney that a job was to be put up on Schawacker, and Judge Terry was informed of the compietion of the job by a smooth-faced young man whose face was familiar about the City Hall. Judge Terry said that there was a bundle of stuff, implying. there was nothing init. Witness was cross-examined at great length by Mr. Thompson, attorney for Schawacker, and told materialiy the same story, = 8 8 ie : as purifiers of tne blood, and when their functions are interfered with through weakness, they need toning.

Sny Levee Protection to be Provided For—Pacific Railroad Subsidies—The Loan to the New Orleans Exposition— Missouri River -Commission—Wash- ington Notes. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. WasnNx rox, P. C., April 22.—Mr, Hateh ap- peared before the River and Harbor Committee this morning and made an argument in favor of authorizing the engineers in charge of the Mis- Ajssippi River between the mouth of the Illinois River and Rock Islana to apply such portions of the appropriation as may be needed in strength- ening the Sny Levees. The committee is very hard at work, sitting morning and afternoon, with brief intermission for Junch, and making every effort to get their bill completed by the end of the week. DIRECTOR-GENERAL BARKER, of the New Orleans Exposition, says he 1s satis- ‘fied he will get a loan of $1,000,000 for his exposi- * tion, as asked in his bill, both appropriation com- mittees having indicated a favorable feeling to- wards it on his presentation of the facts to-day. HATCH’S PLEURO-PNEUMONIA BILL is io come up in the Senate to-day for final dis- ussion and action. The indications are that it Ul become a law. THE MISSOURI RIVER COMMISSION. The full Commerce Committee to-day author- ed Mr. Clardy to report a bill for the Missouri ver Commission to the House with a favorable récommendation. The bill, as finally agreed up- , authorizes the appointment of a committee of ree from the army and two from civil life, the lary of the last mentioned to be $2,500 each per ear. Mr. Clardy, in his report, dwells largely on condition and future of the Missouri River, owing its possibilities in transportation and the ecessity of a system for its improvement. He quotes largely from Sater’s report, and estimates the cost of the permanent improvement at $10,000 per mile. The members of Congress from the Missouri Valley are preparing for a united action in favor of the Missouri River Commission, and for the adoption of a fixed system for the improvement of that river. A document favoring a measure ot this kind was to have been presented to the Mls- souri members for their signatures to-day, but owing to some complication action bas been post- poned until to-morrow. It is expected that this action will be general by all members of the Mis- sour! Valley, and will prove a strong factor in support of the bill reported by Mr. Glardy the other day, Look OUT FOR LNSURGENTS. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Attor- ney-SHeneral have issued orders to their agents in cnies bordering on the Gulf of Mexico for a strict enforcement of the neutrality laws. The agents are instructed to keep a sharp look-out for Cuban jnsuruents, and intercept any filibustering expedition bound fur Cuba.

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS, The House Committee on Pacific Railroads to- day concluded their consideration of the pro amendments to the Thurman sinking fund . rovisions of the act to the aasas Pacific, Sioux City, and Pacific and Cen- tral branch of the Union Paeific raliroaas, The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to invest the 2 funds of each of the subsidized companies in the first mortgage bonds of said companies, or in avy bonds or securities of the United States, in his discretion. Or he may, with the assent of the companies, apply the same to the extinguishment of the interest on the subsidy bonds, the Government to refund the same on de- mand if at any time it becomes necessary, in order to meet any debts or obligations of said corporations prior in zlien a interest. A third amendment rehuires eacn of the roads to pay 35 percent. of their net earnings into the siuking fund insteadof 25 per cut. as uo wirequtred The percentage was at first fixed by the commit- tee at 37%, per cent. but was reconsideréd with the above result. The — ameudment relates moneys due b the Government to the fonds for transportion, but retained and aoe tothe payment of interest and to the sinking fund, which retention and ap- propriation the courts have practically decided was illegal. The gross amount thus re‘ained, with interest, is about a hundred million dollars. Instead of repaying this money to the companies the amendment provides that it shall remain in the sinking fund, and be eventually applied to the extinguishment of the debts prior i» lien to those due the Government, thereby u- créasing the abilities of the companies Lo pay the debits due the Government, which are a second lien upon a 2 of the money, estimated at $5,000,000, wh has gone to the extinguishment ot interest, and which, under these amendments, will be transferred to the sinking fund. Three per cent interest is allowed from the date of ite application untilit is couverted into the sinking fund. fifth amendment authorizes retary of the Treasury to withhold or the purpose of securing the requirements of e sinking fund ali the sums due from the Gov- ument for transportation of any Kind upon the tire system of roads owned, leased and operated the subsidized companies to the extent of the terest — the company ia such earnings. sixth amendment provides that each company , if it so desires, settle iis debt, including t ) principal and interest, with the Government thin five vears from the passage of the pro amenaments. Representative Thompson, whose bill formed basis of the committve’s action, says the pro- legislation will imcrease the amount now dintothe sinking {und by the subsidized about $1,600,000 annually. In 189%, when mds become due,he estimates that the increases ili have ugergated about 26 million dollars. UR CONSUL TO SPAIN. Hon. John V.

SHELBYVILLE, ILL., April 22.—A case which has been attended with more than usual interest has been before the Circuit Court for the past few days. About two years ago William Brownback, amerchant o Tower Hill, banded D. M. Me- Laughlin $500 in cash, which he directed to be given to Holt & Corley at sew eon. In a settle. ment which took place Holt & Corley claimed never fo have received the money and Brownback sued them for if. He dia not get juagment. He then sued McLangblin for the amount, claiming that be did not deliver the money. Since the case went to the jury this afternoon Corley found$an entry in one of his books which shows unmistakably that the cash was received by him.

SS A NEW GRAB. The State of Louisiana is now second only to Pennsylvania in its devotion to ‘‘the old flag, and an appropriation.” Louisiana is convinced that the country prospers when fifty-five millions of people are taxed on their sugar in order that afew thousand planters may keep up their plantations, and now Louisiana, in the person of Mr. JONAS, comes forward with a modest demand from the Government for a million dollars in aid of an Exposition. | The job has alt the illusory protections to which we are accustomed in treasury raids. Nodividends areto be paid out of profits until the Government is reimbursed —a wise provision, inasmuch as the mana- gers of these enterprises generally take good care that there shall be nothing to divide. Then we are told that the Govern- ment shall not be held liable in any way for any debts of the Exposition. This means that the Exposition will be kept out of debt by further raids on the Treasury from time to time. . It is the old story, but we presume the job will go through. The men who are running it have wisely chosen the session just before the Presidential election. Louisiana isadoubtful State, and is waiting to find out which party its friends belong to. The jobis a small one, but Congress has no more right to give away a milllon dollars of the people's money toa cotton Exposition in New Orleans, than it hasto give the same amount to the Veiled Prophets pro- cession or the Cincinnati Musical Festival. Instwad of paltering with considerations of expediency, Congress should refuse the appropriation without any ifs or buts. — — FEDERAL AID, Senator INGALLS of Kansas, in obedience to the commands of his Prohibition constit- nents, has introduced a bill to amend the in- ternal revenue laws so as to prohibit the granting of U. S. liquor licenses and the col- lection of U. S. liquor taxes in States which prohibit the manufacture or sale of intoxi- cating beverages. As they ave now sold free from any State or municipal tax in the cities of Kansas, the effect of the INGALLS bill would be to free them from U. S. taxes also, unless the Unit- ed States should be far more successful in enforcing prohibition in Kansas than the State authorities have been. The purpose of the bill, however, is to enlist the U. S. lu- ternal revenus authorities in the Kansas crusade against the liquor dealers. If suc- cessful, the effect would simply be to compel bibulous Kansans to obtain their fluid luxu- ries in demijohns and bottles from other States. Then would come the demand from Kansas that the power of Congress to regu- late commerce between the States should be exercised so as to exclude from her borders all imports the traffic in which is forbidden by her laws. Congress will sit down heavily on Mr. ING@ALLS#’ bill, seeing very clearly where such legislation would soon land us. The power to regulate is not the power to de- stroy commerce between the States, and any Federal! legisiation avowedly in aid of Pro- hibition in Kansas would be the next thing to allowing Kansas to legislate on trade and morais for the whole Union. It has been decided again and again that the payment of a custom house tax on im- ported liquors, or the possession of an in- ternal revenue license does not guarantee a free market in any State to articles further taxed or prohibited by local laws. The local authority is free to levy a farther tax on the sale or to prohibit the same altogether. That is a matter of local police, and when Con- gress crosses the line to interfere in behalf of it there may be uninvited interference against it. When that body undertakes to harmonize Federal and State legislation ac- cording to the InGaurs Dill it may take a notion that the proper way to doit is by nul- lifying the peculiar and exceptional laws of one or twe cranky states. Those that enact impracticabie aws condemned by the public opinion of other State sh ould be the last to invoke Federal legislation lu such behalf. ae ALL local investigations into public mat- Draa ron always gets thenews. We donot mind taking the public into our confidence. It is the great myriad public composed of the readers of the Posr-Disraron who | keep us informed of what happens and of what may be expected to happen. The bond between @ great newspaper and its readers is subtle, almost invisible, but in our case it is a strong one, a close one, and it is almost impossible for anything to go on in St. Louis without knowledge of it coming immediate- ly to the Posr-DIsr Aren. We havea well- trained corps of zealous and experienced re- , porters, the best in the city, who can see an item around a corner and recognize a piece of news on a dark night, and between our regular staff and our great corps ef unpaid contributors, it never happens that an item gets away, THE amendment to the Constitution“ re- ported by the Senate Judiciary Committee enabling the President to veto one or more Items of an appropriation bill while approv- ing the remainder of the bill, is not an un- tried experiment. It has been tried with marked success in Stad and municipal leg- islation, and is badiy needed in Federal leg- islation. EEE eee Whe Their Accusers Are, From the New York World. It was a Republican Seeretary of the Treas- ury who carried the Whisky Ring frauds into the White House and nid them down at Presi- dent Grant’s door, through the pocket of his private secretary. It was à quarrel of Repub ican rascals over the spoils whitch led to the im- ’peachment of Grant’s Secretary of War for the Post-trader frauds. Republican papers, and among them the Tribune, denounced the Credit _Mobilier scandals aiter a Republican Congress- man had exposed them, and charged James A. Garfield with presenting ‘a most distressing fig- ure“ in the investigation. It was the falling out of Republican thieves which first exposed the Star-route frauds. It was the Secretary of the Republican National Committee who told of the purpose of Indiana and New Yorkin 1880, who confirmed the story of thee sale of a Supreme Court Judgeship for $100,000, and who explained that some of the wealthy Star-route robbers had paid brides to escape indictment. It wasa Re- publican office-seeker who murdered President Garfield. It was a Republican - ex-Postmaster- General who swore to the belief that a plot ex- isted to kill all who were concerned in the prose- cution of Republican robpers when the Prest- dent was assassinated. It was a Republican ex- Attorney-General who testified that he left Ar- thur’s Cabinet because he saw that no one who desired to send the Star-route thieves to jail could bave the friendship or the moral support of the present Republican Administration. Re- publicans are the denouncers of Arthur as the beneficiary of an assassination his own conduct helped to bring about. It is on Republican author- ity thatthe machine methods of this State are denounced as infamous, and that the Republican leader and boss, Jobnny O’Brien, is accused ot violating law and practicing frauds for the ac complishment of his objects. A Party With No Policy. From the Boston Herald, Ind. The Repubgeau party in two gr@at States has just met, elected Presidential delegates, adopted lengthy resolutions, and adjourned without say- ing one word in reference to the most important practical question now before the Government— the reduction of taxation, or the disposition of the surplus resulting fromthe present system. In one of these States, last year, a resolution was adopted favoring the distribution of the surplus among the States in proportion to their popu- lation. This project was likewise advanced and defended about the same time by James G. Blaine, whose name the Republicans of that State now present for the Republican nomination. Have the kepublicans of Pennsylvania changed their policy, or only grown more prudent in avow- ing it? Their convention affords no means of judging, beyond the fact that it protests against any reduction of the tariff. Whether they would abolish the taxes on whisky and tobacco for the sake of retaining those on coal, iron, glass, salt, sugar, blankets, clothing, and aher necessities of the people, or adopt the other alternative of spending the surplus, they donot say. Toe Be- publicans of Tilivois are eqnally dumb. From the fact that neither platform contains any demand or suggestion for econoiny in the administration of the Government, supported by the further fact that the representatives of the party in Congress from both States vole eagerly fof every money spending job that is brought forward, the logical inference is that the Republican party is summed up in Mr. Keliey’s argument for “high prices and high taxes.”’ Blaine’s Limit. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, Blaine will, in ali probability, go to Chicago with a strong lead, but—he has been to conven- tions with a good many delegates before. If a new man were carrying things with so much of a rush the case weuld be very different, fcr nobody could tell where the rushing would st®p, but this Blaine business is just what we have had before, and there appears no reason to doubt that the stopping will come where it did before. It is merely the old guard” again, and there are no few guards coming to make victory possible. There is this, and then there is Blame himself. Has the pubite forgotten the man’s record? Think of the Republican party with bim as its candidate, opposed by aman like Grover Cleve- land! The kind of politicians wio will manage affairs at Chicago are supposed to seek success, first and foremost, and the danger of defeat is this year so plain that not even the olindest of partisans denies it, There will, good people, be no Blaine deluge. : HRatchins’ Ideas. From the Washington Post. What the people want are issues that can be seen and felt and grappled with—issues with re- lation to which the attitude of parties is clearly defined. It might not be easy to convince them, as the Democratic leaders standing on a platform of administrative reform would be required to do, that the Administration in power is made up altogether of scoundrels, thieves and “spollat- ors”—that the “ins” are all sinners and the “outs” all @ainis—but they can readily under- stand the difference between war taxes and pace taxes, between issues that mean a good deal and those that mean little of nothing. The most that they ask or the candidate is that he shall hold pronounted and practical views—not theortes—oo the questions at issue, and possess the qualities that Rit him forthe leadership of a procressive party ana the sare executioa of the popular will, ' Patronizing Art. From the New York San. Senator Sherman reported an amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill yesterday provid- , ine $15,000 for the purchase by the Government of Mrs. Fassett's great historical painting of the Biectoral Commission. While the event is one that no good citizen wishes to have commemo- rated in any way, shape, or form, Mrs. Fassett’s painting so far partakes of the nature of a pillory as to reconcile ope to its existence. Fifteen ind dollars is a good deal of money, but if or Sherman means, as, if he be a reasonable soGnd-headed man, he mist mean, ia buy it : ** * * * * and | nad harn it. it is not A Cent too much. The Senator might make a note of the f fact, now when laggard summer approaches, that a marble statue by Vinnie Ream, suitably treated with sulpburic acid, would make forty thousand gal- lons of proper soda water. 4 Fire in Randall's Keser. ¥rom the Phiiadelphia (Ind.) Record. Mr. Randall and the prutectſonist madmen de- } bind bim, whe have now put themselves on ree ord as favorfug increased tariff taxation and as- opposing reduced tariff taxation, may possibly delay judicious legislation and prevent the House from sending to the Senate a proper measure for the relief of the country; it in 80 doing, while they will shoulder a crushing weight of popular odium, they will entirely fall to betray their party into a false and feeble position, where it would be the casygrey of its enemies.” POLITICAL DRIFT.

WEAVER will run for Congress again in the Sixth District of Iowa as a Domocratuc-Green- back-Anti-Prohibition candidate. THE Troy Press insists that if the Democrats want to elect their candidate this vear, with the assistance of New York, they must take Mr. Flower for a leader. AN Indianapolis paper, edited by colored men, complains bitierly because no negroes have been elected delegates to the Chicago Convention by the Republicans of Indiana. “GRESHAM and Hawley — subject to the con- sideration of the National Republican Conven- tion—are certain of approval by a large majority,’ says the Boston Journal.

Among those entered are Rowell, Fitzgerald, Vint, Nore- mac and Hart. “Mr. Tilden’s name,” remarks the Indianapolis Journal, “does net appear, though itis claimed that he walked the entire length of his library recently.” THe Buffalo Commercial (Rep.), Chairman Warren's paper, says: “He does not beueve that James G. Blaine can carry New York as the Re- publican candidate for President. The Commer- cial’s belief is that Mr. Blaine’s public record is vulnerabie, and that the Republican campaign would be on the defensive from the start.“ THE Wheeling (W. Va.) Intelligencer (Rep.), which is a Blaine paper, says: I we correctly apprehend the Blaine sentiment it is more for the Republican party than for Blaine. It Ras in it none of the ‘last-ditch’ feeling which impelled the memorable ‘306’ to fight it cut and atick it through until the last. Republicans Gesire no more of this, and it is not believed that the Blaine follow- ing could be held together for so bad a purpose.“ MEN OF MARK.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch; Your correspondent “Senex” came near an- swering the question about the Thin Red Jane” currecliy, though he made a rather bad break in military history in doing so. The expression “A thin streak of red topped by a line of sté@el” was used by Dr. W. H. Russell (“Bull Run“), in his correspondence to ibe London Times in Oetoder, 1854, in reference to tire defense of the approach to Balaklava, made by Sir Colin Campbell with the 93d Highlanders and a scratch company of siragglers from various regiments. He drew up the Highlanders across the mouth of the gorge leading into Balaklava, throwing the scratch company out on their fapk at an obtuse angie pointing somewhat to the rear, and as the Mussian squadrons ol heavy cavalry. some three or jour thousand strong, came down the valley at atrot his officers begged him to form square to receive the enemy in traditional fashion. But Sir Cohn (afterwards Lord Clyde), knuowlug the firmness of his men and the quality of the Weapons they possessed—they had been just recently armed with the miule rifle, then for the first time to be tried iu extensive warfare—re- fused, saylog: “Siugie line will be sufficient for those gentry.” His view proved correct, for the Russians broke and fled after the second or third discharge of the new wiuskets. It was a novel ex- peplence to them to find the bullets flying among them when the * ene- my Was «a quarter of a mile away. The aciion was observed by Lord Ragian and his staff, amongst Whom was Kusseli, irom the neigh bor- ing heights, and “the ibin stveak of red“ beeame u lamous expression. It was on this same day that bull the lgbt and heavy cavalry actions were tought, the former beiug Known as the charge of the six hundred.“ Then “Senex” speaks of the Alma being the first time that English infantry in Une attacked infantry im column.

The ward is beginning to be thickly settied, and there are more tiiings wanted than crossings.

New York, Aprii 22.—The welcome extended to Mr. Henfy George, the author of “Progress and Poverty,” ou his return from Europe on Sun- day was continued all day yesterday, so much so that the distinguished advocate of iand reforms found little opportunity for necessary repose. “I expected to rest quietly,” he said to a correspond- ent of ‘ne Posr-Disrarck, yesterday, but my well Wishers seem to have no end. I hardly know what 1 sha do in the immediate future, I have do many projects which 1 would like to execute, Lbhave promised to write for several British. journais; I want to begin a work on political economy, and rewrite a book on the tariff ques- tion, whieh Ihad almost finisied last summer, and the manuscript of which | have lost.” “What success is pour latest book, ‘Social Problems,“ meeting?” „Its selling excellently, both in England and in this country. It is being translated into Ger- man and French.

It in- vulves very close 1 and requi close thinking to understand it. In ‘Social Problems’ 1 have treated the question so thatthe ordinary man may find it both profitable and —— to read it on the cars—or off-hand anywhere. have, besides, gone into several questions which 1 did not think proper te discuss in ‘Progress and Poverty.’ ” “What are these questions“ “On the . public debt. the dency of ress to inerease the functions of State and on the amountof truth there is in Socialism.

The Uuion Association cham- pionship is interrupted, and the Chicago players pass the time in pushing with ivory with ash, at- tending the exhibition of prize juvenility or studying. the consistency and pecuilari- ties of our beautiful soll as it demonstrates itself in its muddy state. This aft- ernoon the Chicago Uaions willmeet tie St. Louis men again, if the weather will permit— which is extremely doubttful at the preset writ- ing. In the meaptime, the League and American Association games are professing elsewhere in a most interesting manner and prove conclusively that there is no absolute difference between the teams representing either body, While the Amer! ean nives have grown quite up to the ability and prowess of (heir seuiors. At Brooklyn, the Providence team was beaten if a six-inning game by the Brooklyns who are steadily improving in their play. It was a little funny that the Providence men, against whom the score & to 8 at the end of the sixth muing, should get in a wrangle over the rules, when the plicher was doing the very thing their own ruies allowed him todo. As the game was played, however, under the Association rules, it gave them an opportunity to crawl out fr under a defeat, which they did, in one sense of tne word, the game being awarded to the Brooklyus, however. At Baltimore the Baltimore team beat the Cleve- lands by a score of 6 to 3, it being a * — game and witnessed by 3, people. mele and Traffley were the “Balty’s” battery, and they did grand execution. The Philadelphias and Athletics continued their series and had a lively contest yesterday, Harry Wright’s men missing by ascore of 18 to 11. At- kinson, the Atuletic's new pitcher, was hit for 32 hits, andthe “Philies’” pitcher, Coleman, was punished for 16. The rubber ball caused numbers of errors, and the game was a poor oue. At New York the Bostons beatthe Mets by a score of 5 to 2, the game being a good oue. The Wilmington Club gave the Washingtons a Dad beating; score 7 to 1. Two very bad games markedthe Union Asso- ciation contests. At Philadelphia the Bostons beat the Keystones by a score of 11 to 6, there be- ing no jess than twenty-two errors in the game; At Baltimore the Unions beat the Nationals of Washington by a score of 18 to 1. The Terre Hautes hada fine game with the Cincinnati Reserves, beating them by precisely the same score by which they were defeated by the Browns on Sunday last, 3 to 1. There was a battling game at Indianapolis yesterday, the Hoosier being routed by the De- troits by a score of 12 to 8. The Terre Haute Club are dated here to-day to meet the St. Louis Browns, but the outlook is dubious. The same clubs want to play to-mor- row, but it is doubtful Whether the weather will mend sufficiently until the circus gets out of town. A Change of Base. Yesterday President Vou der Ahe returned from Cincinnati, where he went on a flying trip on Sunday, and found the Reserves in excellent shape and spirits, all things considered. A change was made in the team and Runyan, who has not at all come up to expectations, was re- leased. Regarding his intentions considerable has been rumored, and in answer to an inguiry Mr. Von der Ahe replied: “In future I will be able to devote all my time to base-ball interests, having disposed of my grocery, warehouse, etc. Iu fact, those alone were sufficient to keep two men busy looking after matters, and I have been worked to death. lu future my time wWIII be put in at Sportsman’s Park in the interests of the St. Louis Club, and I will not lose an oppor- tunity to keep * park as popular with the puolie as it always has been, Our regular season opens May 1, and we will have a big day.“ ' & Wonderful Ground. Although the atmosphere was absolutely wintry on Sunday, so far as the Sportsman’s Park was concerned there was no drawback to finishing the game which was begun thefe. Not- withstanding the heavy rains of tne previous days and nichts it was almost as dry as a chip, and Buppriotendent Solaris’ tarpaulins had kept the base lines as dry as dust. Mr, A. A. Stern, the president of the Cineinnati Club, said on Sunday; “It is one of the lovelies: streicles of turl that 1 have ever seen, and the rain seems to no off u as it does off a duck's back. It looks as though ianight rain for a month, and when the sun gets upon it for an hour or two it isin as good trim as ever.“ All of which is certainly true. Sportsman's Park is the model ground ſu more respecis than one, and if it is possible to play, the pubiic are always sure of games taking piace with “a Drief “tet up“ in bad weatuer. — — — — The Arbitration Committee.

By Telegraph, to the Post-Dispatch, | NEW YoRK, April 22.—IThe Providence team sacrificed ali the good opinion of the patrons of the National game in Brooklyn yesterday by con- duct on the feld which was unprofessional and ungentlemanly.

Thinking it might interest our readers a re- porter was commissioned to investigate thorough- ty the workings and benefits of the installment plan iu the purchase of household necessities and luxuries, The first call Was made on a prominent dealer on Olive street, near Tenth. To the hum- bie reporter this store was really a revelation, and he almost forgot his mission as he gazed at the elegant display of new and beautiful goods in ellyerware, clocks and ornaments, pictures, mir- rors, albums, fine illustrated Bibles, hanging lamps, bird cages, eig. There were at least filty styles of baby carriages and ten or twelve sizes of gasoline or vapor stoves and ovens. The reporter noticed the store was crowded with people who were making selections. Mest of the patrons seemed to be from the weil-to-do and thrifty classes,who made purchases on the instailment plan because, as one lady laughingly remarked, “We spend about so much money any- way, aud we might as well use 50 cents or 81 4 week for samething to make home happier.” : A’ well-known bank clerk was noticed. making a selection of a $45 clock fora birthday present to his wife.

Two Charitable Enterprises Which Are Working For the Little Ones. The Children’s Hospital of St. Louis, on Frank- lip avenue and Tweuty-ninth street, is about to be largely increased. The painful necessity of constantly refusing little patients, has induced the ladies who are in charge of this hospital to give up their present quarters and commence a larger building. A lar ge lot has been secured on Jefferson avenue, where the. excavations are already going on for à buliding which will be an ornament to tnat part of the city. The ladies have made arrangements, through the kindness of some of the attending physicians, to move their little patients, about twenty in number, to St. Paul for the summer montis, bop- ing to have their new quarters ready for them on their return. Tuts institution has had quite a re- markable career—never having owed a debt, every bill being promptly paid at the end of the month. It is supported entirely by annual con- tributions collected by the managers, aud, occa- sionally, some entertaininent, which has always enabled them to care, lu the most comfortable and coinpleie way, lor tbe little ones thrown upon their eharity.

The Womau’s Exchange has been so much of 4 success that its managers are now planning for the establishment of a permanent institution. They have purchased a lot oft ground on Locust strécth, near Sixth, from Wm. A. Hargadine on time and will pay for it at the rate of 83,000 a year which sum is $1,000 in excess of the annual rental they now pay. The mumagers think they can raise this money through entertatuments and have already announced the first One, which is to take place on the 13th of May. The Exchange has grown so rapidiy tuatthe present quarters are altogether too small to accommodate the ¢us- tomers. Under the skillful management of Mra. J. D..Lawnin, there is no doubt that the new scheme will be carried to success. Ice Pitchers. Lowest Prices. Mermod & Jaceard Jewelry Co., 4th and Locd&t A Joke On Mr. O'Hara.

What would not the ancient Syrian, whose special business it was to poach eggs for the great king’s pasch breakfast, have civen for one of these biock-tin, re-alpped egg-poachers with sunken receptacles for each individual egg, allow- ing a dozen to be turned out at once with preci- sion and perfection? Aud wouldn't the second cook of the Solomon culluary corps have given his best while cap to have been able to smother allsmell and make no smoke while broiling por- ter-house steaks in this admirable, perforated, seli-pasting broiler that uses all the gravy instead of sputtering it in the cook’s face? And wouldn't the scullion haye rejoiced lu this new kind of éoffee-roaster which may be set ov the fire like a kettle and turned by a crank, givingjout no sus- picion of coffee-toasting to tantalize the olfac- tories. It looks like a curious iron globe, and Mrs. Solomon or her guest, the Queen of Sheba, might have taken it for Sancho Panza’s helmet laid upon the kitchen table, while be kissed the maid.

VICTOR EMANUEL. * was Saved From a Suicidal Folly. From the London Daily News. The following anecdotes are related by some Italian papers. and were gathered from the lips of the late Signor Sella bim- self. In 1870 Sella was one of the minority who voted against ene, 100,000 Italian soldiers to assist Napoleon III., and conse- quently resigued his post. He was about to leave Florence, when Victor Emanuel sent for him, and, after saying that it would be vile to desert France in her need, warmly begged him to keep his post. Sella replied that, believing as he did that an alliance with France would imperil Italy, he could not uudertake wo share zuch a serious responsibility. But the King insisted, “You will see,” he said, „that all will go well, and that we sia!l de- rive great advantage from an ailliane e with France, hi remain.” “it is impossible,“ said Sella. The King was vexed, and ex- claimed: In fact, you want the House of Savoy, like the Bourbons of Naples, to take no part in European affairs. Remember that that inactivity was just what caused the fali of the, Bourbons.”” “At that time,” repiied Sella, a King was fighting against a King; vow it isa war between iMation and nation. Italy might in one day destroy the unity which it has lost so many sacrifices and so much blood to ob ain. Think of what you do, your Majest-.” Som words escaped the irritated King; but, cor- recting himself, he ended by saving: “At allevents, remain at your post untli a defi- nite resolution bas brech taken.” Sella re- mained, and, fortunate for Ltaty, the 100,000 men were never sent. After the de- feat of the French and the fall of Napoleon, a commission went from Rome to Fiorence to present the King with the . the lebiscite. Sella said tothe Klug s your ajesty content?” “More tuan content!’ Victor Emanuel exciaimed. ‘‘The.e — for metodo now but shoot my- self. Vhat remains for me » do? Myself King in Campidoglio, and my son King in Spain, my wishes are more than fulfiiled.”” But his consent to remain neutral had cost the King dear. One day when news arrived ef tne mist de- feats of tife French, be caded Lanza, and told him that now was the moment U, assist Napoleon. But Lanza, who bad chaoged his mind, replled that for his part he could not consent, and would rather resign. “Il did — think, said the King, that 1 had such (usin an ugly word) Mlustry.“ “I am — sorry,’ proudly repiied Lanza, “that your Majesty shouid use such au expression. The more that I cannot retort.” Victor Em- anuel felt that he had been wrong, and im- mediately apologized. After Sedan the King wrote to the Princess Clotilde, bree =; ber to return to Italy at once, but the Princess replied that she coulu not abandon ber second country In the hour of its misfortune, and thai sne wouid on- ly leave it when tue republſe had been prociaimed. The next time the King saw Sella he read this letter aloud, and Sella was so much touched by it that ot ed for it asa gift, But Victor Eman- pocketed the letter, saying, “it you will — 2 it bie for me to go to Rome, then you sha How hard is have the letter,” After the taking of Porta Pia, Sella reclaimed the letter, but ae forgot a send it to him, aud ultimate- died without performing his promise. hen King Humbert visited Piedmont, aft- er ing the throne, he met Sella at Bi- ella, and 1 presented the latter witu the Princess’ letter, saying, Permit me to pay one ot my father’s debts.” Victor Emanuel and Sella often came to angry words in couversation, although each great- ly esteemed the other. In 1500, when Sella told Vietor Emanuel that radical reform was needed in the civil list, the King angrily replied: “Ought I. perhaps, to take à tutor! and Sella at once retor “Realiy. your Majesty might need one.” In spite of such differenc s the friendship between the King and Minister was never seriously distarbed.

Four Tons of Floral Offerings—Local Theaters and Stage Notes. | By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. _ New Tonk, April 22.— Henry E. Abbey was sick in dead last night when his dig benefit took place at the Metropolitan Opera House. Alto- gether there was $47,000 in hard cash represented in the audience, which included every person of note in society in the city. The programme was a long one. Tt opened with the overture of “William Tell,” whieh Signor Vianesi is extreme- ly fond of. It gave selections from Luerezla Borgia.“ with Mme. Fursch-Madi and Trebelli and the Il Segretto left out. It gave portions af the third act of the “Barber,” with Sembrieh, a portion of “Aida,” a chorus of “Dinorah,” the fourth act of “Les Huguenots,” and wound up with the trial scene from “The Merchant of Venice,” in which Mr, Henry Irving and his company appeared, A ballet came afterwards. It was called “A Farewell” The great event of this varted bill was the singing and violin playing ot Mme. Sembrich, She introduced the variatious of Proch into the “Barber.” They fired her audience. The boxes rose at her. he quet yelled. She was in superb condition and never was a bravurd voice head to better advantage. The enthusiastic listeners could not get enough of it. They made the Opera House shake with these bravos at every cadenza and run. Similar enthusiasm was lavished upon Nilsson, whogang Bach’s Ave Maria.” But Sembrich, after the „Barber,“ PLAYED THE VIOLIN. It was Deberiot’s Adagio and Rondo. It was gracefully and exquisitely done, and after doing it she played a mazourka of Chopin’s on the piano- forte. here appeared to be nothing she could not or would not do for the occasion of which sue was the particular star. Her audience could not get enougi.of her and Mme. Patti and Sig. Nico- ini, who oécupied one of the boxes, testified their admiration of the music by the héartiest applause. At 10:30 only half the programme had been per- formed. It threatened to stretch out till morning. There were great crowds of professional ' people in the corridurs discussing the event and the beneficiary. At least a hall-score of operatic impressari were among them. They all, with slight varlattons, figured up Mr. Abbey’s losses to be about $60,000, of which sum he would get $45,000 back by this benefit, and they all won- aered who would try opera next year. Fora long time there was much anxiety as to who shoul respond to the expected calls fora speech from Mr. A . Word was received from the sick Mr. Abbey that Mr. Joseph Howard, jr., bad con- seuted to say something. THBRE WERE SEVERAL THINGS waiting for this event. There was a pres- entation from the artists that Mr. Abbey’s absence rendered impossibie. It was id goid card with their names engraved on Besides the vast audience wanted to see Abbey. There were piled up in the cloak- room about two tons of flowers. Everybody had sent baskets. The foyer smelled like the vale of cashmere. Even the attaches had sent $50 fur a monster bas- ket, the card on which read, From the attaches of Mr. Abbey, Who are attached in another sense.” People that Mr. Abbey had never heard of sent bouquets. It was impossible to get them all ou the stage. Then to give an operatic spice to the affair the orchestra at 10:30 wanted to strike for another week’s salary, seeing that Mr. Abbey was not present, and Mr. Copleston only squelened it by sending for a policeman, and threatening to arrest the first Italian who left bis seat. At 12 Oclock the flowers were choking all the entrances. Patti had sent a wreath, There were harps from the sopranos, in roses; lyres from the contraltos, in pinks, and baskets from the chorus and orchestra. But there was no op- yortunity to get these things on the stage unless Mr. Abbey was calied. Just after the selections from “Aida” there was A DEMAND FOR ABBEY. Then after “The Huguenots” there was another call for Mr. Abbey,and this time Mr. Howard ap- peared and spoke as follows; “Ladies and gen- tlemen: Mr. 3 for whom vou have so loud- ly called, is sick in his bed and cannot mg — be- fore you this evening. He has, however, kept all his promises to the public and to his artists, and would very much haveliked to be present and receive the congratulations which you have pre- pared for him. The fates have ordered other. wise, and ye has asked me to come before you and express thanks for your generous support and kindly appreciation of his efforts.” THE THEATERS. “The Beggar Student” had an excellent house last night considering the weather.

The baby show at Gregory’s continues to bea great attraction to the public,anda number of interesting additions have been made this week. Matters are getting in readiness forthe beauty show. A change of bill was made at Edwards’ Theater Comique last night, and the new features were warmly received, The Coney Island sensation 18 one of the most remarkable ever seen there, and created a great deal of hilarity last night. The paraae of Cole’s Circus did not transpire last night, but will certainly take place after the deluge.” Inthe meantime the day of opening is named for to-morrow.
