The Mirthful Story of a Combina- tion of Delegates 4 Who Would Pass Auy Bill for $5,000, and Even $8,000 at a Pinch. A Faree Which Should Amuse the Grand Jury—Let Them Call Clem Creveling as a Witness—More Pointers for the Investigating Committee—The Post- Dispatch Still on the Trail of Corrup- tion. When Mr. 8. C: Clubb, president of the Wig- gins Ferry Company, was yt stand by the Inveatigajing Committee of the House of Deie- gates, nothing was obtained from him of any im- portance. He knew a gz that would impli- eate any member of the House, and he aid not tell the committee of the rumors which he had heard. Aud yet from the story told below it will be seen that Mr. Clubb knew of some very im- portant matters directly in line with the investi- gation, and which would have aff orded valuable hints to those searching for the guilty parties. As will be seen one of his agents is alleged to have made very startling statements to him, an allegations which Mr. Clubb does not deny, but desires to have treated as jocular. The humor will beappreciated better when one recollects that Mr. Clubb is president of a corporation that still wants a great many things from the House of Delegates, and when itis Known how the joke runs. His position is best understood when our suggestion that the joke r* be brought before the Grand Jury reached. He evidently believes „a piece of gurgling mirth the andert is the only body in the city who can apprpeiate the humor and not hurt his business. THE WIGGINS ANY was anxious to secure a lease of a portion of the levee near the foot of Chouteau avenue. A bill was prepared for passage through’ the House of Delegates, granting the lease, and the agents of the company began to work for its pa ssage. One of its agents is Mr. W. C. Creveling, who is in charge of the car transfer at the foot of Chouteau avenue. Mr. Creveling lives In the same Ward with Mr. Schawacker, and calied upon him with reference to the bill. This much of the story is not jocular. but serious. WHERE THE JOKE COMES IN. From some source Mr. Creveling got the im- pression that it would take $5,009 to pass the bill through the House. He understood that there were fifteen members of the House of Dele- gates who stood in with each other, and voted on all bills to which their attention was;called asa unit. So strong was Mr. Creveling’s sense of humor that he communicated the joke to Capt. 8, C. Clubb and other officers of the company. These gentlemen assured him that it was very funny, that the idea that a dignified body like the House of Delegates would take money for votes was the height of the ridiculous, Mr. Creveling went visiting among his well-posted friends again and discovered that, on account of the friendsbip felt for the corporation, and the real benefit it conferred on the city, the bill would be passed for $3,000. This impression Mr, Creveling conyeyed to his principals, and he was assured that the company would not put up a dgilar to bribe any- pody. The story goes that Mr.'Creveling called upon the members of the House and pointed out to them that while the company would not let go of any money, that it would be under the painful necessity of making a public explanation to its patrons of the failure to pass the bill-an explana- tion which would be embarrassing to some of the members of the House. Here the joke ends. The bill passed. WHAT CAPT. FORD SAYS. A Post-DIsPaTcu reporter called upon Deputy Harbor Master Ford and asked him it vas had heard the story printed above. “I enly know what Mr. Clubb told me,” 3 Capt. Ford. “and what was that?’ “Well I can’t pretend to give his exact lan- guage, but he said that he did not feel that he had any right to testify to matters which he knew by hearsay . Mr. Clabb said that when the matter of securing the Levee lease came up Mr. W. C. Creveling, an agent of the company in charge of the car transfer at the foot of Chonteau avenue, and who lives in Mr. Schawacker’s ward, was told “Who told Creveling this Schawacker?”’ “That I do not know. Oreveling was told by joking about it inthe office, you understand. | Why one of them said that one member was very cheap, that he could be bonght for an old shirt. Now that will show you that the conversation was. jocular, you see. I“ talked about the matter with Capt. Ford, but I didn’t mean that the statement should be made public.” “Didn’t Mr. Creveling see Mr. — other delegates on behalf of the “Weil, Mr. Creveling is quite a politician, you know. I told him to recollect that on no secount dollar to influence legislation.” “Why should Mr. Oreveling recellect that, it this was a jocular conversation?” “Well, the air was full of rumors—is full now. I didn’t want che position of the company to be misunderstood.” “What could Mr. Creveling testify to before the commitiee?” “I do not know. Ionly Know what wassaid about the matter in the office.j Look he re, IA tell you something, if you won't print it.” “] can’t make any promises.” , “Well, I don’t want you to print this-—it ts merely a suggestion, Why don't you GET THESE MATTERS BEFORE THE GRAD JURY? I think you could get testimony that you can’t get vefore that committee, I don’t Know the com- raittee—I guess they're all hanorabie gentlemen. And I don’t want to talk apout the rumors I’ve heard. Certainly there is something wrong there. The idea of a combination being formed la order to collect a blackmail from the industries of this town is preposterous. But the right place to fight it is in the grand jury room—not before an luvest- g committee.” ? “Who were the fifteen membersof this combi- “I don’t know. { have heard a great many names mentioned, but I can’t give them. I'll not consent to go before the public with the rumors I have heard.” “You think, then, that “Mr. Creveling could tell the Grand Jury. something which would pe valuable information.” Capt. Clubb smiled—“Well, that’s to be seen. I don’t know that he knows anything, you know.” Mr. Creveling left the city a couple ot days since to accompany his mother to New York, whence she sail@for Europe. At sodn as she has left he will return home, and Capt. Clubb expects him back next week. AN HEIR TO MILLIONS. Fortunate Discovery of a Philadelphia Woman Who Keeps a Flower-Stand, By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, April 28.— One of the most fa- milia? facés on Chestaut s is that of Mrs. Susanngh Emerich, a spruce little woman who has a flower- stand at the corner of that thorough- fare and Twelfth street. She is never absent ex- cept on the bleakest of winter days, and drives quite a lucrative business from the sale of nose- gays, being patronizéd dy all classes, ‘To-day a somewhat romantic story was brought to about little Ne oy wh — er of of comparative obscurity tot that of social other prominetice am vast wealth d Emerich is said te be an heiress to it — epee ried that there will be very culty ia es necessary order to secure the g ' owner. Mrs. Emarioh, b Wm. B. Emerich, at No, 1625 claims to be one of the heirs of John Nicholas Emerich, who died, as is supposed, without a will, about 135 years ago. He was a native of Hesse Darmstadt and amassed wealth ocean trade. His partners were Stephen, ‘Gurard and John Jacob Astor. He died own vessels at sea while on his w phta, and his remains were br and buried in the old German L the present site of Fifth and Cherry streets. his deatn Emerich’s estate was worth million dollars, but it has increased since and is to-day worth $25,000,000, This includes 9 — on deposit in the Bank of England, deposited elsewhere, and valuable property, "i this city, New York and Germany. DURING THE PAST * persons claiming to be the righttul heirs have several times set up claims, but no settlement was ever reached. The 121 ‘agit tion grows out of an application made by Mrs. John Boss of Pittsburg to Max ;Schamburg, the Austrian Con- sul, to secure a distribution 0 Emerich's estate. She claims to be one of the beirs, and that Emer- ich was her maternal — uncle. She recently received from Germany a per giving a brief account of the inding of a will in an old book ina Philadelphia church.

McChesney at Last Given a Pass. to the Penitentiary. ‘| The Jury Finds Him Guilty and Assesses His Punishment at Two Years—A Plea fer Mercy—Motion for a New Trial. After sleeping over the doubtful points in the case of WarrenF. MeWnesney the jury, which triea that celegrated individual on a charge of attempted fraud reiurned into the Crim- inal Court at 1145 this a.m., and handed to the clerk a verdict, finding the defendant guilty and assessing his punishmeat at two years’ imprisonment inthe penitentiary. Long before the Court opened the defendant was on hand casually inquiring the result of the night’s delib- erations. There was no newsfrom the jury quarters in the third story, and Judge Van Wan- oner proceeded to cali the docket Court. The trial of 2 petit ease had begun and witnesses were giving testi- mony when the deputy sheriff announced that the jury had agreed upon a veraict. McChesney took & seat beside Col. Thoroughman and Judge Vastine, his - atttorney,.and calmly awaited developineaté. The jury was brought in and when s@ited Judge Van Wagoner asked, „Gentlemen, have you agreed upon your ver- dict?” The foreman answered, We have.” and handed the papers to the clerk. The an- nouncement that the McChesney jury had agreed spread through the Four Courts, and attracted a large crowd to the Criminal Court room, where they remained perfectly quiet waiting for the verdict, which read as follows: “We, the jury in the above entitled cause, find the defenda nt guilty of attempted fraud as charged in tue indictment, and assess his punishment at imprisonment in tue Penitentiary for à term of two years.“ “Is this your verdict, gentlemen?” asked the Clerk. Mr. Jerome Karst, the foreman, arose and said: “Your Honor, the jury desires to recommend the defendant to the mercy of the court.” Col. Thoroughman asked that THE JURY BE POLLED, which was accordingly done, each answer- ing that the verdict read was hisown. McChesney sat beside hie counsel, with his hands clasped around the back of Bis head over a thin growth of sandy-grey hair that fringes a sWating-rink pate, where flies disport them- selves in summer on the glassy surface that coversamine of ideas and schemes. He was perfectly sei- possessed and cool. During these proceedings ,which were doubtless of intense tn- terest to him, his gaze wandered along the faces within the bar. As the last juryman an- nounced that the verdict was bis own, a reporter approached McChesney and asked, “Will you move for a new trial?” “Certainly. What was the verdict, two or three Vastine told him it was for two years, “is “resumed his talk with the reporter, ol. Thoroughman is drawing up a motion for a new trial even now.” „What was,your object in subpapnaing so many witnesses?” “I had use for every one of them, only the prosecution changed their tactics, and then we had no use for them. In fact, I’ll tell you. The State was surprised at the testimony of Zach Mitchell. If everything had gone on as [ anticipatea we would have had need of all- these witnesses.” “How many cases have you to answer now?” Only the charge of forgery—Alex. Kinkead’s case. That was eet right after this, and we are anxious to have it disposed of at once. The last jury disagreed, and we want it tried as soon as possible.” A motionfor a new trial was then prepared by the defendant, who put forth the us- ual legal grounds. The bond of the defendant, pendiug the bearing of the argument on a mo- tion FOR A NEW TRIAL, was fixed at $2,500, which was at once with Judge J. P. Vastine as security. When the witnesses in the case on trial were excused, Circuit Attorney Harvey arose and stated that it was not the desire of the State to jurther prosecute the case of forgery against McChesney,and asked the pérmission of the Court to efiter a nolle pros. The case which grew out of the forgery of the date of Alex Kinkead’s fesig- nation as Police Commissioner was tried by a jury but no verdict was arrived at and the case was ordered redocketed. In view of the result of the trial on a charge of fraud the forgery case was nolle pros’d. Mr, Lodge was asked what effect the jury’s recommendation for leniency would have, and said “It can have no effect what- ever with the court in thiscase. The only one in position to grant MeChesney leniency now is the Governor. Judge Van Wagoner cannot.” M’CHESNEY AND HIS RECORD. Mr. McChesney is a native of Columpia, Fa., is 45 years old, came to St. Louis to locate in 1850, being then but 20 years old, and when the war broke out went into the service as a hospitai steward, from which position he was promoted to assistant surgeon. It was this experience which gave him the title of “doctor,” which is still ap- plied to him by some of his more intimate friends. He is of medium height, stout of build, and manifests a dispositions to waddle, or walk slight - ly sideways. He is vaid-headed, and what hair he has is light brewa. His eyes have an effect as though he were partially blind, or had a cast in one of them. His face w intelligent, of beiliger- ent asp@t, a flat nose surmounting à determined and a firm-eet chin. His manner intercourse is that of a man with given, always analyzes a question put to him, with a view to discovering its [ull scope and purpose, an which he is exceedingty clever. His answers are framed with deliperation, and so accustomed has he be- eame to this kind of fencing that he is said to in- aulge in li unconsciously, no matter what the sub- ject or who bis questiover. Au operations seem to be all based upon the theory that every man is vulnerable if his weak spot can onty de found, and e © erippie any manin the world were he to have some object for so dowg.

THE DIGNITY OF AMERICAN LABOR. Representative McCora of Iowa, in an interview to-day upon the tariff question, said that pariy lines not be drawn upon the subject. and it must be treated as a buviness matter. Railways raphs, mutual intercourse, intermarriage an the commingling of the States are Drtugiug about à unity of sentiment in favor of a reasonable pro- tection as a national policy, and itis part of gtates- manship to hasten it by ercouraging improve- ments, immigration, transportation facilities and a cheap and indiscriminate interchange of our in- finite age | of products. An equitable produc- “tion, he said, would cheapen all agvicuitural im- plements and preserve the dignity of labor. „WILL MAKE YOU SEE ME.” The House Commitee on Miiitary Aff irs will ask for the appointment of-a special committee to investigate ine management of the Soldie~s’ Home at Dayton.

The Ex-Senator Talks About the Utica Convention. 2 — A Niggardly Combination Was That Made by the Arthar and Edmunds Men —John Kelly, the Democratic **Boss,” Gives His Opinion. 4 By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw York, April 25.—Ex-United States Sena- tor Thomas C. Platt, who, with Senator Warner Miiler, had charge of Blaine’s boom at the Utica convention, was, intervlewed yesterday on the re- sult of the convention. He said: “With reference tothe men who were selected as delegates-at- large, not one of them can be considered support- ers of Arthur, and cannot be made so under any elreumstances. Mr. Roosevelt in the presence of a number of gentlemen at the convention, stated that he was an Edmunds man and under no circumstances would he support Arthur. Mr. Packard of Brooklyn, who has been a prominent leader in the Independent-Republican organiza- tion recently iu that city, openly announced that in case either Biaine or Arthur was nominated he was one of the large number of men iu Brooklyn who would support a gooa Democratic nominee, such as Gov. Cleveland, for Instance.” “Will you tell something about the deal?“ »The overtures for the nomination of Edmunds men came from Arthur’s supporters when they found that they were in a hopeless minority. Rather than show utter poverty, hey were will- ing to make aay combination which would give them a show of havine accomplished something, and not leave the convention in utter disgrace, But prior to 77 97 the arrangement with ihe Kdmunds men the leaders of the Arthur con- tingent made a square offer to the Blaine men that, if they would give them a representation of one “mild” Arthur man on the ticket, they would prefer such a combination as that aud they would pledge their whole Arthur force to support that lu preference to making the com bination whicu they did, This overture was made to me personally, and to other supporters of Blaine. It was 12 releases: the Biaine men preferring to be squarely beaten rather than to secure vic- tory by a partial surrender, Immediately after this the contracting parties from the Arthur and Edmuuds headquarters COMPLETED THEIR BARGAIN, weigh resulted in their securing eleven major- 1 * 57 Then you do not consider this an Administra- tion victorv?” “Well, I should say not. It can searcely be cousidered much of an Administration yictory when it is known that the President of the United States, with all his vast power and patronage, Was Commpelled in bis own State to combine with 3 — udidate from another State in order to beat Aine.“ “fo vou think that the vote of New York will be cast for Kdmunds at the Chicago Convention?“ “Most assuredly not. Tue tall won't wag tne dog when Chicago is reachea, although such was the case at Utiea. Edmunds had but 70 votes out of 496 when the convention opened. Lowy | succeeded it bringing the Arthur men over to beat Blaine. Never betore bas it happened ina political con- vention that 70 men secured a Victory agalust the wishes of both of the majority factlons. The Edmunds men would not consent to put an Arthur man on their list: still they srcured their point all the same. It js prepos¥-rous to suppose, bowever, that because these four delegates at large ure Edmunds men they can control the other sixty-eight who will repP@esent this State ai Cnicago. There are at leas: twenty pronounced Biaine men in the dele- gation, üfteen solid for Arthur and only ten for Edmunds thus far. The remainder of the dele gates Will await turther developments, probably before declaring their preference.” “What effect, in your opinion, will the Utica Convention vive upon harmonizing tue partys“ II. this was not a harmonious couventign then 1 never saw one. To be sure there wus «a strife among the supporters of the different candidates to secure the delegates at large. When, however, the result was deciar- ed, we were all found willing to accept the ver- diet. I believe the party in this State is how thoroughly reunited and that all past differences are buried. ibelievea thatit will heartily sup- port any candiaate who may be chosen at Chicago, and that it will elect him, whoever he may be. MR JoRNRELLT. was next seen, and sald: “Looking at it from one stand point, I do not see that either the Blaine men or the Arthur men huve uchieved a victory. The followers of these two candidates for the Presidential nomi- nation were arrayed against each other at Utica on the ques ion of securing four delegates. lactiou which 18 both Binine and and the delegates of which. are sup friendly to Edmunds, held the balance of power.“ “And the Arthur people went over to the Ed- munds people?“ > “As it appears to me,“ continued Mr. Kelly, “the Edmunds faction went. over to the side whieh offered them the most, It was in one sense what might betermed a poiitical auction, «The friends of Blaine offered the Eamunds crowd two deiegates, and the administration folks offered them the eniire four. That is all there is to it. The Edmunds people accepted the offer of the higfes: bidder.” Ned bor tnink thatthe result will eens | any rearing On the candidacy of either Blaine or Arthur?” “It certainly has not strength to ald Arthur, and bas net weakened Blaine, The latter will probably go to Chicago with eighteen delegates elected by Congressional districts direct. One thing is settied, Arthur will not appear at Chftago 7 a majority of the delegates from his owa ate.’ “Who do you think would make the strongest nominee as between Blaine and Arthur?” “About six of one and balf a dozen of the other. Perhaps Biaine’s nomination woula create more enthasiasm, aad more hard work would bé done in his favor than for Arthur.” QUINCY’S CRISIS. Prospect of Bloodshed Resulting From the Molders’ Strike.

NEw YorK, April 25.—The Bear, the first ves- sel ot the Greely reiief expedition, started on her mission yesterday amid the cheering of thousands gathered ai the Brooklyn Navy Yard to see ber off, while from the starting point down the East River to the center of the bay there was a Con- Linuous succession 9 noisy godspeeds from the 22 whistles and factory signals. The craft haa u pushed out sever al yards from the buik- head, and across the narrow gangplank ranving from the rail to the string piece was a continuous procession of friends who came to bid good-bye to the officers and men, or who came with more substantial offerings of Will in the shape of ——— of gifts and things caiou'ated to make he Weary monotony of an Arctic more bearable. the morning, great as of a bear’s Lead on a platter, all made of pink and white carnations with eArnishings of calla lilies and rich jacquemtnot roses.

Wier the noon hour came the crowd of civilian specta- tors and many prominent officials § in the naval service. Oommodore Fillebrown came to the scene with the members of his staff. Capt. Kirkland, the yard . commandant, was there. Chief Constructor Wuson, Pay uspector Steven- son and Uniel ‘Enginéér Melville were alsu pre. ent. Capt. D. L. Braine of the Juniata, of the Polaris expedition, came and added uis good wishes te the GENERAL CONGRATULATIONS, also Pay Inspector A. D. che, and the greetings betweea himself and Capt. Em- ery were very warm, as they had not met since they served together on the Lroquois on the Ohina coast many years ago. The Junlata from the Newport to o station arrived with the magazine stores for the Bear, and they were carefully passed aboard and stored aue under the ward-room floor in a very snug compartment, where they could be readily submerged in case of danger. All this time there rolled out from the cxpacious tunnel mouth of the Bear, 4 heavy col- umu of smoke, and below the firemen were shoveling in enail with a liberal hand. The screw was started in order-to try the engines, and the order came for all hands to pass ashore, exceprc those who were booked for the trip. The men of the crew who had marched over from the Cotora- do buta short time before with their bags of dunnage were drawn up on the main deck, and trom the poop deck Commander Schiey addressed them on the purpose of the trip. He read the brief iustructious of 8 Chandler, and then a telegram me received from the Secretary,’ in which he said: TO CAPTAIN EMERY. “I wish you and, all your curmrades good health, good courage and good tuck. Good by.“ The cheering reply sent by Capt. Kmery was read, and Commander Schiey added a few words sayiug: “I tbink that you will be able to accom-. piish what tue Secretary and thecountry Are look- ing to you for. I know that you will do all in your power, and that you will IN THAT WAY BE SUCCESSFUL. I hope that there will be no man whom it will be necessary to punish in — way for any yr of duty. Twant you to understand that the idea is io rescue Lieut.

The tug Catalpa came up beside her aud soon the latter steamer was under single lines and with screw revoiviug was swinging about so that she could back out of the varrow bay in which she was situated. Capt. Emory was on the bridge and beside him were Pilot Barry- more and officer of the deck Colwell. There was at delay in getting the ship rightly headed, ut the crowd waited end cheered Quartermaster Guevedo, who ran dimbiy up the standing riz- ging to the main-top and cast off the entangled nnant from the gaff bung, a rich ensign, while rom the mizzen-ton flew the signa! of the Ameri- ean Yacht Ciab..

WASHINGTON, April 25.—*What do you think ofthe prospects of your biu in regard to the sil- ver dollar certificates?” your correspondent asked of Mr. Bland of Missouri, chairman of the Com- mitiee On Colnage, Weights and Measures, yes- terday. “Ob, I think we shall pass it,” he answered, “there is avery strong feeling in its favor in the House, and I have no doubt of its passage.” “You think that it would pass by a two-third vote, then?” “Yes,” he answered, I do, It is generally con- ceded that we need more small bilis iu the cur- rency, and I think there will be uttle opposition to the measure. There bas been a great demand for small bills of late, you know.” „The bill as agreed upon in your committee provides for the issue of 81 and §2 certificates, does it not, Mr. Bland?” „Ves, and $5-ceriificates, too.” “But, does u not withdraw about as many of Sand §$2-greenbacks as it issues silver ber- ficates?’’ “Well, it withdraws indirectly a er- tain number of the Treasury notes. not as many, perhaps, as it issues sliver certif- Cates, but it stimpiv provides the further Issue of the one and two dollar greenbacks while it issues a large number of silver certificates.” “What fs the advantage, Mr. Biand, in the silver certificates over the greenbacks?” „Well,“ he answered with a iaugh, “the advant- age is simply this, that every doilar of the siiver certificates in circulation is backed by a sliver dollar in the vaults of the treasury, while the greenback is backed by nuthiug except the faith of the Governmeni. sides it puts the silver e meantime burden people’s pockets with the article itself, Lou cannot make the people take the silver in any great quantities, and (bis means of issuing it tu the form of paper is the Dest that can be devised.” . “And vou expect to see the bill pass this session, then?” “Yes, 1 think there is little doubt about it.” WARNER'S GLASS HOUSE.

A fortnigit ago Edwara Kaub stood at the bar of the Court of Criminal Correction a convicted lottery dealer, and the very picture of repentance, With bis head at a sorrow/!ul meline, and eyes full of sadness he addressed to the Court a pledge of good behavior ip the future coupled with ex- pressions of sorrow for his numerous violations This morning capiases were issuea for Kaub’s re-arrest and another case selling lottery tickets was fastened on him. Heis again ion the hands of the law, and will: scarcely receive the seniens trea ment heretofore accorded to him. Kaubd’s history as a vViolatorof the law and his suecess in evading punishment may both ve interesting at this time, For several years Kaub has been engaged tn the lottery business im this city. When the Johnson law passed the lottery dealers in this city at- tempted to evade its provisions by horse-race schemes, but failed and wert convicted. Raus continued to openly defy the law. After all others had abandoned the field he continued in it, enjoying a monopoly ot the business aud making asmatl fortune by selling the tickets of the Louisiana and Havana Lottery Companies. For over a year the attention of the Police Department has been concentrated on this man. Seven cases were made against him dura that time. Three of these were sent to the Crim pal Court. He was tried on the Orst charge and couvicted, and his punisiment assessed at six Mouths in jail.

ODD BUT EVEN, How a Wise Cadi Divided Seventeen Camels Among Three Heris. From the Detroit Free Press. Abou Ben Eli McGuffin, being full of years, died, leaving to his three sons his seventeen camels for the simple reason that he could not take them along with him. The will, duly atéested, said the eldest was to have one-half, the second son one-third, and the youngest one-ninth of the seventeen camels. ‘Lhe boys were a little perplexed at this as it seemed to involve the cntting up of a camel, and camels were worth $3 a day on the Sahara that season. But the boys, if not first-class mathematicians, had level heads and did fot go to law to prove the old man insane, but went instead to the good old Cadi Hassan O’Vondhue, who had taken a medal at mathematics at Ann Arbor. “Boys,” said the good Cadi reproachfully, Nou should not bother me with these little matters. Ask me a harder one.“ But seeing they were troubled the beney- olent old man asked the hostler to trot out his own dilapidated camel, which had seen its best days traveling with Barnum as the Sacred Gnu of Persia. Placing the aged brute with the seventeen camels the boys had brought along, he said: There ate eighteen camels. I shail now 885 you half of the vane which is nine. w does that strike “It hits me where five,” said the eldest, who was slangy but withal pleased at get- ting half of eighteen rather than half of “The next boy shall have one-third of 2 whicii is six. Are you there, Mori- arity ?’’ Lou bet, said the boy. The next will have one-ninth of eighteen which is two, and so the third youngster collared his two camels. Thus two and six and nine made seventeen and still was the good Cadi’s aged animal left unscathed. The people marveied, as the Cadi had given each more than the will called for, which is rather unusual in courts of law. And they said one to another, “that’s what it is to be good at figures,” A Fierce Clash of Cavalry. Major-General Rosser in the Phila. Weekly Times, As soon as Colonel Dearing moved out so as to threaten the Federal flank, Colonel Washburne charged him with his cavalry and I never witnessed a handsomer charge than he at this time ied. Dearing met him with the same undaunted, determined pluck and the most savage hand-to-hand ever witnessed was the result. Dearing and Washburne were both killed within three feet of each other. Whether they slew each other I cannot say, but many think they did. Colonel Boston and Major Thompson were also killed in this cavairy fight Dand ever man in Washburne’s command was killed, wouuded or captured; none tried to escape. 1 was unable from a wound received von my left arm at Five Forks a few days before, from using my saber, but dur- ing the fight 1 rode among my men and en- couraged them by my presence, which was all I could do, and while I looked on I saw Maj. Jim Breatnard of the horse artillery attack two Federal captains, Breathard with pistol and the Federals with sabers. They closed before Breathard had an oppor- tunity to shoot, orif he shot he missed his mark, and when Ilsaw him the Federals were ere cutting a and sticking at him with their sabers, and Breathard was exceedingly busy warding. them off with his pistol. Their horses were run against Breadhard’s, and he was finally knocked off his horse, and in falling his foot was caught between his pulled off one of his boots. Breathard then shot and killed one of “the officers and Courier Scruggs dashed outfrom my side and killed tke other, and in a moment Breat- hard was in the saddle again, with only one boet, and again joined in the fight.

It was a short scare; and the bulls ap- 0, be feeding them. The advance has shut off ail th the rt demand, and shipments are even now beginning to fall off from the principal markeis.

But none of these cut any figure. The shorts were nervous and any show of strength started them to buying. and the bear forces were too demoralized to attempt to sell. The home market wus nervous and unsettled, with active tradiag. There were few who the nerve to sell short in the face of the ad- vancing markets elsewhere, and most of the selling who were realizing were by shorts them sell out on auy E. content with fair profits. This for one thing is what prevents the home market from advancing in proportion with the others. But — strength — advance did not hold, heavy selling in Chicago causing that market to declive and all the other markets at once followed, the offers to sell be- coming freer and bolder at this point and the de- mand siackening off.

HAPPY ENGLAND, The British budget was presented to Par- liament .yesterday and elicited cheers, as wellit might. The revenueof that rich Em- pire exceeds. four hundred million dollars and it is collected without any attempt at protection such as makes the workman in this country pay dearer for his clothes, his tools, his house rent, and all the necessaries of life. The surplus of the past year amounts to some forty millions of dollars, which has been applied to the reduction of the public debt. Said pubiic debt is now lower than it has been since 1811, and interest less than it has been since 1805. Having lifted this much off from the shoul- ders of future generations, it is only proper that some relief should be extended to this generation. Accordingly the British Goy- ernment, instead of seekiag for new ways of spending public money, proposes to reduce taxation to the needs of Government. It will take four pence off the tax on each pound of tobacco, thereby enabling the Brit- ish workman to get his pipefulof content- ment more cheaply. The British Parliament can deal with questions of revenue and taxation without being involved in the iniquity of the River and Harbor steal. It has a pretty heavy pension list to pay in the shape of allow- ances to a prolific royal family, but this is onlyadropin the bucket compared to our vast and growing vension bill. It has to deal with a very troublesome Ireland and a more troublesome Soudan, but it is able te keep up a first-class army and navy to take care Of questions of warand peace, and these us. Finally, it cares for such trifies as a half a million dollars. The “Parcels Post“ re- the estimates, consequently the Government will not risk the possible loss ef receipts from sixpenny telegrams. Think of our Congress‘ troubling itself about a half a million dollars more or less as part of a general budget. : OUR POST OFFICE, The St. Louis Post Office is down in the black list of the Department as one of the standing nuisances. Ever since Mr. FILLEY made it the subject of his ill-advised attempt at machine making it has been a vanity and vexation of spirit. Mr. FILLey’s admintatra- tion did not give satisfaction; that of Mr. Hays came to an inglorious ending, and Mr. WELLS has thus far succeeded in pleasing nobody and in getting himself into a most disagreeable fix. The origin of all our Post Office troubles is the wooden-headed stupidity of the Govern- ment, which treats this important business agency as a mere political asset or party spoil, and the greed ef the local Republican politicians, who are ready to rend and tear each other in the scramble to get it. As long as successive Cabinets continue to treat the St. Louis Post Office as the legiti- mate prey ofa little horde of political harp- ies they may expect it to worry them. II they can ever get it into their heads that the Post Office exists fer the sake of rendering a certain service to the people, and that it should be managed in the interest of that service, things will go more smoothly. In the meantime, they cannot affect uncon- sciousness of the current scandal which 16 due to the weakness and vacillation of the new Postmaster. It is evident that the in- ternal management of the Post Office, its whole discipline and order are in a bad con- dition; but things will not be mended by be- ing let alone. On the contrary, they will go from bad to worse, and that rapidly, unless the powers that be tak@hold of the question with a firm and vigorous hand. rene eer AN EXAMPLE, In the Criminal Court yesterday a thief named BALCOM MIERS pleaded guilty to em- bezzlement and larceny and was sent up Ww the Penitentiary for three years. It was an ordinary case of a trusted clerk collecting his employer’s money and absconding. But it was extraordinary in this, that the em- ployer, Mr. CowRAD FARNER, the well- known furniture dealer, refused to give way to that flabby sentimentality which declines members, will join with us in expressing candles to gas or gas to the electric light, or opposed railroads and telegraphs and tele- phones. 285 0 The time is come when the old fogies who oppose rapid transit must get out of the way. They have held us back too long already. __ —— TxstiryineG belore a committee of the California Legislature, Mr. WALTER N. HAWLEY, merchant of San Francisco, said his freight bills over the Central Pacific Road amount to $200,000 annually, which is $67,000 less than they would be if he had not availed himself of the special contract sys- tem established by that monopoly. In order to save $67,000 a year in freights he has to bind himself to receive no goods by water and to buy no goods imported into San Francisco by water. By this sort of discrim- ination the railroad monopoly compels the business men of San Francisco to aid It in destroying competition. And yet Congress hesitates to legislate against such discrimi- natien and leaves the corporations free to exercise such arbitrary and oppressive power. — Tux action of the New York Republican Convention developed so much bitter antag- onism to ARTHUR, to BLAINE and to Ep- MUNDS, as to make it evident that neither one of them can carry New York for the Re- publicans, and that the nomination of either will make the contest in that State another Foren Waterloo for the party. The close and flerce contest between the SHERMAN and BLAINE forces for the Ohio delegation shows a similar situation with reference to them in that State. With all those leaders practically hamstrung, and the spectre of Grantism materializing as the only alterna- tive to the nomination of LincoLn, the lat- ter seems to represent his party’s only fight- ing chance this year. Tae honest people of St. Louis, who re- joice ever the discomfiture of the ring and the conviction of one of its most dangerous a high sense of their appreciation of the judge before whom the case was tried, not only in this trial, but during his whole official career. The presence of Judge VAN WAGONER on the bench of the Crim- inal Court is one of the strongest safeguards against unchecked political corruption, and gives to every honest interest in the citya sense of security and of encouragement in the hard struggle to obtain decent local go vernment. Tux New York Herald pronounces Secre- tary RoBERT LINCOLN tthe best dark horse for the Presidential nomination on the Re- publican ticket that this country is exhibit- ing.“ When a mah is the unanl mous choice of his party for second place, and the second choice of each of the factions for first place, he can hardly be considered a dark horse. ROBERT holds a stronger hand now than “Oid Abe“ held when the Republican Con- vention met at Chicago in 1860. Es Robesou’s Confessions. Trenton Letter to the Philadelphia Times. “Talking about Biaine’s book,” sald ex-Secre- tary Robesen, as he sat in an easy chair at the Trenton House the other evening, I could write a book that might lack the finish of Blaine’s pro- duction but would certainly be interesting. There is no Man in the country knows more of the ins and eutsof Washington and the politics of the country for the past fifteen vears than I do. Take, for instance, those lively days when Hayes’ title hung on the decision of the Electoral Commission in 1877. Why, I was virtually President of these United States for about six hours one day. Grant’s term was up, and Hayes had not been publicly sworn in. He was sworn in privately by the Chief Justice, in my presence, dut the Cabinet was really running things. Some ot the Cabinet were terribly scared, and I went on deck and run things, There was lots of excitementthen, The old Cabinet virtualiy remained over for some days. I used to goto the Cabinet meetings as Secretary of the Navy, although my successor ought to be at work. I always entered the room and, excusing myself for intruding, remarked that I had usthing to report, or make a brief report, as the case might be. I remember well the fight over Packard’s title as Governor of Louisiana. I always maintained that if Hayes was elecied Packard most certainty was, I said so at a Cabi- net meeting when Hayes asked the opinions uf the members of tbe Cabinet on che subject, Some uf the members didn’t want to express themselves. They knew Hayes wanted to oust Packard and yet keep his own title clean, and those members who wanted to keep in with Hayes wriggled around considerably. I made no bones about it. I said, ‘If Packard, who got 1,500 more votes than you did, sir, was not electe d, then you are not. If the Democrats had possessed back bone in those days they might have put Tilden ip, They would have had to fight for it, though. Grant had the troops ia readiness. I had a thousand marines ready in case of an emergency. But, fortunately, * a much. Black ts the prevailing Color and the silk nat the only real dressy hat. There is no differ- ence between the young man’s and the old man’s hat, except that the latter has a wider brim. One can hardly say that is true, either, for the old men are getting quite juvenile in their tastes Before long they will be the only ones wearing the narrow brim high hats.” : “The provincial towns get tne New Tork styles about a year behind time?“ “No; they get the styles before wedo in New Tork. We deciaeon sample hats early in the winter, send out our travelers, and fill the orders of the out-of-town customers before we make up hats for ourselves.“ “As to the dandies?” “Dudes order hats one size too small. Apropos of the dude, do you know that they copy the En- glish even in the name of the hat? One Came in this merning and asked for a top at, that’s a silk hat. Another came in the day before yesterday and said; Gimme a pot at.“ ‘A what?’ asked the clerk. ‘Why, dawnt chew knaw, a billy-cock.’ He got a Derby.” Booming Grant. Fro m the Phiisdelph‘a Times (Ind.) The predictions made in these columns as 10 Grant’s availability in December last are fully vindicated now. The third term prejudice der- ished as soon as Grant retired from the politi- cal field and abandoned all effort to climb that exceptional honer, And as the prejudices of the desperate contest of 1880 are effaced Grant grows stronger and greater as a central Ogure in Amer- can polities; and there are now thousands turn . ing to him as a refuge from the wrangles of small men, who resolutely resisted the ma- chine third term crusade of 18%. Grant's chief strength asa candidate is like Blaine’s—in not being, or in not appearing to be, a candidate. He has quietly pursued his business and pleasure, and his brief utterances at times, have proved that retirement has mellowed bis resentments ; and greatly broadened him as a phliosopher and astatesman. From being the distinct represen- tative of adistrustea faction, as he was four years ago, he is now singularly free from entan- glements, and if returned to the Presidency, would enter it more independent in surrounaings and purpose than could any of the other candi- dates, * Enforeing Prohibition. From the New York Times. The sensitive “pocket nerves” of the heayy tax- payers of Des Moines have been severely shocked by the enactment ofa prohibitory law that de- prives the city of $50,000 a year, this sum having heretofore been paid by saloons for licenses. Therefore they are urging the City Council to en- able the saloon-keepers to evade the law and to collect a license fee in the form of a monthly fine. This is the plan adopted in some of the cities of Kansas, where probibition has been placed in the Constitution as well as ta the statutes. In Febru ary last there were 140 saloons open in the city of Leavenworth, each of which paida fine of $10 a month. It is one thing to enact a prohibitory law and another to enforee it, If the heavy tax-pay- ers of the capital of Iowa have so little respect for a newly enacted law that they openly ask their Councilmen to assist rumsellers in evading it they must not be surprised by an expOsure of corruption in their city government by and dy, The Corruption Fund. From the Sau . rancisce Chronicle. The Chronicle has received from the office of the Railway Shareboiders’ Association in New York city a communication to the effect that all the funds needed to garry out the objects of the concern have been coutributed and that no further donations will be required from Oullifor- nlaus interested in raiiroad shares, The associa tion is the one which sent out eireulars soliciting contributions from railroad men for the avowed purpose of using the fund is obtained in corrupt ing Congress, Legislatures and courts. We assume from the insolent tone of the letter of John Livingstone that be bas all the money needed, It looks very much indeed as if some of it bad been employed aboat the halls of Congress; otherwise the bill te forfett the land grant of the Texas Pacific Railroad would not hang fire @ it does. Perhaps some of this corruption fund bas found its way to California, which would account for the sigual set-backs the Antil-Monopolists are now receiving in the Legislature. The Colored Voters Growing Tired, From the New York Globe (Colored Organ.) The colored people of the North and West are weary of Republican promises. They are not longer to be monkeyed with by tricksters. They want a square, manly deal. If they are to help the party to win victory they drmand that they be treated as other members of the party. They do not propose in the future to play Samson to Delilah. They propose to put their strength where it will benefit them most. Seeing that the Democratic party is torn asunder, the Republican party may turn up its nose at our statement of the case, but we warn it that the colored people of the North and West have the balance of power, aud are in no humor to be monkeyed with. Is it the Prince of Wales? From the Paris Gaulots. Our readers will. remember that a short time ago Lady Oolin Campbell obtained a limited divorce against her huspand, the brother of the Marquis of Lorne and son of the Duke of Argyll. Ic is now stated that Lord Colin Campbell is about to begin in his turn a sult for absolute divorce against hie wife. Without committing an indiscretion we may say that the correspondent is one of the greatest lords of the United King- dom. It will be the third time that he appears in this role before the divorce court, — St. Jerome. From the New York Worid The Utica Herald ts trying to help Blaine in this State by meanly insinuating that Senator Edmunds’ habits are bad. Mr. Kamunds does there. Both stand on the same side of the tariff issue, and one could represent he State as well mm both couventions asin two, thus saving car fare. N. O. Picayune: The negro is going to the Chicago convention with a white-handled razor, and he will cus the party open if he does pot get his rights. SENATOR HARRISON, of Indiana, bas become an active candidate for the Presidency. All fears of loyal citizens as to the safety of the old flag may now be dismissed. COURIER-JOURNAL: The Logan boom ts said to mean vot Logan, put Grant. It is now easy to understand why Gen. Grant advises the Democ- racy to nominate Mr. Randall. COURIER-JOURNAL: is sald to be a quiet boom for Mr, Thurman. a quiet doom for oid Mr. Thurman will bring back tothe Democratic ranks youug Mr. Thurman, let ner boom. AT a meeting of colored Republicans at Des Moines, Iowa, ove of the delegates complained of unfair treatment by the Republican managers. “We are obliged to put up with the tail of every- ing,” he said. Many Pennsylvania newspapers insist that the delegation from that State to the June conven- tion is not in favor of Blaine, as pretended, dut is under the thumb of the Cameron gang and will sel] the plumed Knight out at the first opportun- ity. CHICAGO News: John Sherman employs no literary bureaus por secret agents. Heis work- ing out his political salvation by erecting a soap- stone slab over Eliza Pinkston’s grave and sup- porting a couple of Uucie Tom's Cabin“ shows on the road, PRESIDENT ARTHUR bominated a competent citizen of Lowviile, N. ., to de Postmaster, but withdrew bis namp from the Senate when he learned that the nominee was a Half-breed.“ The President now has the sengation of seeing the proscribed individuai elected as a Blaine delegate to Chicago. MEN OF MARK, E. C. Jupsox, the “Ned Buatiine” story-teller, is traveling from the South to bis home ia the North in a carriage. PRESIDENT ARTHUR is said to be entirely ab- sorbed in the contemplation and arrangement of his new spring clothes. SWINBURNE says Byron was no poet; but many people would give more for Byron's opinion of,Swinburne than for Swinburne’s opinion of Byron. ONE wouldn’t think to look at Henry Irving that he bas had about 4,000 dinners given in his honor. He looks as hungry as a Colorado coyote in January. ‘ Mr. O’ DONOVAN BOSSA Will now have the un- biushbing assurance to say that he knew some time ago that the earthquake in England was go- ing to take pla®. CHARLES KEADB’g English contemporaries are made exceedingly ancomiortable by the an- nouncement that the late novelist has left sketch- es of most of them. Mr. RoBEsoON has offered his elegant mansion in Washington tor sale at $80,000—a much less sum than it cost bim. The ex-secretary bas been thoroughly retired to private life. A New Tonk newspaper recently contained this advertisement: ‘“Wanted—Lunch by first- class professor of music In excbance for tuition on plano.“ This cannot de Carl Schurz; of course not. PREMIER GLADSTONE,WhoO is now visiting The Durdaus, Epsom, has entirely dispensed with the services of his physician, and may be seen every sunshiny morning walking for bours on Epsom Downs. PRINCE Victor of Wales, as London rumors run, isto he given a new honor, There are re- ports that on attaining bis majority, which will occur January 8, 1885, he will be raised to the peerage, with the title of the Duke of Dublin, and he will theuceforth make his residence in Ire- land. It is also stated that he will enter the Roy- al irish Fusiliers. DUNCAN MCINTYRE, the first vice-president, and R. B. Angus, the second vice-president of the Oanadian Pacific Railway, have sold their stoen in that great enterprise. A few years ago Me- Intyre was a dry geods merchant and Angus a banker in Montreal. Then neither was worth mu eh money, but each is said to possess now a fortune of at least $3,000,000. Both have buiit palaces in Montreal. “OLD Von,” otherwise Count Von Borcke, was a famousfighter in Virginia twenty years ago. He was Gen, Stuart's chief of staff in 1863, ana, though a Prussian nebleman, he was quite demo- cratic. He bestrode a steed seventeen bands high and spurred the beast into the thick of the fray. This superb officer was cut down at Aldie, a wound in his throat ending bis services in the war. Since then Count Von Borcke has been in the Prussian army. He is now being lioniged in Baltimore, where he tis visiting. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS, D. B. J. — The population of Rome at the last census was three hundred thousand. 8 C. D.

Where the Readers of the Post- Düben Find a Hearing. Sr. Louis, April 26, 1884. To the Zattor of the Post-Dispatch: I pelieve that the laws require the street railroad companies to repair the space betweeu the tracks with the same materia! used for phe re- pair of the remainder of the street. On Olive Street and on Chestnut street che material used for the repair of the space of the streets is not the Material used by the street car companies, It is true that the upper crust is ol granite as is ihe pper crust used on the rest of the street, but the muterial used for the formation of a concrete foundation, which givesstavility to the pavement, is not Used by the car companies. I am quite Satisfied that ihe outward show of granite is in- suficieot c mplianee with the law. Sit, our worthy street superint adent gives the car com- pauvies the benefit of the doubt, and with what re- sult?

Un answer to thus letter Mr. Turner says the law Is defective in the matter of requiring street railroad companies to follow a specific method of laying pavement. “Their intention.“ he says, “is to have a durable pavement, Mr. Maflu has acknowledged his error and will reeoustruct the tracks. II is a question if a concrete foundation laid over the ties would answer. It rots the wood and shatters when laid over the tie. ln New York the whole base at the bottom of the tie is filled lu with gfirst-class gravel pounded hard and then laid over with sand.

Louis, April 23, 1884, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, l have often wondered why our Western cities ao not follow the example of New York in lower- ing the fares for local travel, during the hours when the working people are going to and comtug from their work. It is a small matter, perhaps, to talk about; but when we take luto consider- ation the low wages of the iaboring classes aud the cost of living in half-comiortable abodes, the attention of all bumane men should be directed and enlisted in behalf of the toiling masses, Just now quite a number of gentiemen representing various corporations are asking of our Municipal Assembly frauchises o build pew rallroads, all of which seek to reach out northwest, soutu, and southwest, bringing thereby a popuiaticn from the city proper to more inviting locations for hab- tation and recreation. Would it not be well, be fore Giving any of those corperatious the right of way to build their roads, to insert a ciatise inthe ordimance providing for low fares; ‘sa from the hours of 5 to 7 4. m, and from 5 to 8 p. a Such a course would be, uo haraship to the rait road companies; ax tlie number Who would then ride would be largely increased, and the bones bard-working classes would be enabled to spend more time with theig tamiites. Ii is a fact that Cannot de denied unde many laboring meu and povurly-paid mechani are compelled to walk to their work perhaps twenty or thirty blocks, and alter wiling all day, walk Lhe same distance to their homes, because With ibe small Wages, and ive demands upon them—reént, lood and clotiing for the family, which is itvariably large—the poor white slave caunot afford lo speud teu cents a day forcariare. Between the tours ees mentioned you can reach New York trom rooklyn, or Brooklyn frem New York as the case may be, for one cent. Perhaps we in St. Louis could pot afford, from à corporation stand- poiut, to make sucha senseless reduciion in fares. We might, however, give the matter our consideration. Any revision of the law that tends to benefit the masses of the people will reflect hovuraviy on those who have been eicoied the people to make suen revisions, aud will redound to the good of Wwe eutire community, Ihope the gentiemen composing the Municipal Assembly will, u they possess the power, see to it that no franchise is grautead to new street railroads unless said roads auree to carry bassen- gets during the nours named for at least one-half \ue present fare.

The home team out patted their opponents, although the hitting was very hard at times on both sides, and Brown, the Altoonas’ pitcher, knocked the bal! over the left field fence, wire screen and all, and Made the circuit without interruption. Jack Gleason played a fine game at third for St. Louls, and Shaffer and Dunlap were also credited with some handsome work.

The Akrou dispatch reads as follows: “The information was received here to- day that the Cleveland reserve team will be dis- banded on May 1, when four or five of the Cleve- land and several of the present Akrous will be re- organized into a new Naiional League team, with Mr. W. H. Voitz, manager, and with headquar- ters in this city. Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Pittsburg, Cineinnatt and Akron Clubs will by this arrangement play the championsbip. The championship season will be opened here on May Iwith Pittsbury Club. After a season of three weeks in this city the Akrous will go on the road, playing in St, Louis on Decoration Day.“ This, of course, is a trifle maccurate, but conveys the ea ot what isto be done. so far from being a disbandment, it reassures the carrying out of the reserve schedule, 5 At the Union Grounds.

But Rex Smith in & sense Dag eclipsed them both, The other day he rode down the Senate steps of the capitel on a bicycle just for fun.“ Noris the truth of this daring deed rendered in any degree doubtful or uncertain Dy the murky distance of more or less remote aniiquity, lor he was photographed in the act.—({Wastiugton Post, The amateur oe | championships of England were decided at the St. James’ Hall, Piceadiily, London, on the 9th inst.

A Talk With the Delegates to Con- gress From the N ation. 1 Chicote and Espahiche — Important Claims Before Congress--The Election Trouble Not Finally Settled-- Political Parties in the Nation. * Two notable Indian Chieftains were seated in their apartment at the Hotel Barnnm this morn- lug when a Post-D1isPATCH reporter entered, in the persons of Col. Chicote and Espahiche of the Creek Nation. At first sight Espahiche would be put down at once as the more uncivilized and unintelligent of the two. He is a tall, broad-shouldered, long- Umbed man of middle age, with long, biac hair and smooth face. His features are flat, ingt repose expression- less, every - indicative of the Indian. Col, other hand, is sieuder, and apvears feeble fn bis move- ments. His hair is clipped short and is very gray, while bis mouth and chin are ornamented witha ray wustache and tuft of beard. His ace beiougs to a ty which seems the opposite of that of Espahicbe, being tinin and narrow, with a high narrow forehead. Col. Chlcote speaks English, but is taciturn and monosyllabic alter the habit of bis race, and Espabiche does not attempt to speak at all, being apparently entirely iudifferent to what is passing unless 828 spoken to. The reporter had quite a talk wi who, with and MR. 8. B. SULLIVAN, the tuo ex-chiefs, the nation at Washington and acts as interpreter. The party are on their way to tbe National capital to attend to the inter- ests of the Creeks and will leave probably to-mor- row morning. “Is there anyshing specie! in the Oreek busi- ness to be brought before Congress?” asked the reporter. “Yes,” replied Mr. Sullivan, “there are several important claims to be pressed this sessiou, One of them is fhe claim of the loyal Creeks who served in the Union army,amounting to $1,900,000. The claim was made up in 1868, and was audiied by a commissiona inted in 1872, which decided that it was proper. No appropriation, however. has us yet been made by Congress, and the matter is still in the hands of the Claims Committee. We shall urge it vigorously as the claimis a good one.“ represents „How many of the loyal Creeks are there?“ “I should say they numbered now between five and six thousand altogether. You know the Na- tion split during the war, part of it going Intw the Union service and part into the Confederacy. We have been in Washington during part of the present session.” „Wat other claims are there?” „Well, there is the deficit claim on certain lands given up b the pation, amounting to $90,000, and the self-emigration claim dating as far back as 1833 for which uo ad- propriation was made. The claim is aue for promised ihe the West and it amounts $53 to the man. There are other important matters also to be attended to.” „Have all of the election troubles been set- but when Creeks for the present onliv. Perry- is acting Chief and doubtiess will remain 80 until the Council meets next fall. You see, a constitutional question en- ters into the difficulty, There were three candi- dates iu the field, Chicote repre- senting the constitutional party, Es- abiche the loyal party and Perryman he Muscogee, or opposition party, as it is calleu. Now the law states that a candidate to be electe: none of them did, Perryman, however, was declared elected by the old Counch, and the decision was reversed in favor of Espa- hiche by the suceeding council,- THF SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR decided tuat ihe old council Was the only author- ized body to cast up the votes, and recognized Perryman ag Chief de facto, although he is not Chief de jure. When the next Counell meets the Supreme Court oi the Nation will be called upon to decide the legality of Per- ryman’s election, and whether a plurality ora majority of the votes are necessary tg an election, When that is done, and 1 have uo doubi the decision will be against him, articles of im- achment will be drawn up and a new elec- on will doubtless be beid.“ “Give me an idea ofthe distinctions between the political parties of the Creeks.” Espabiche represents the loyal party, which, until the recent treaty, was in favor of old customs aud traditions as opposed to the new system of laws. Col. Chicote’s party is tbe constitutional party and Perryman’s is the opposition party, or rather was so in Chicote’s admivistration. At present the constitutional and the loyal parties have con- solidated into ove and will put forward one candidate at the next election. Combinea they can easily elect their candidate.” The delegates wili remain in Washington until the end of the present session of Congress, Gen. Sherman was seen later. He stated that he had not received the Governor’s letter, but that he could not accept the position. Spectacies.

A Missouri Woman Alone in the Wil- derness with a Murdered Husband. Caddo I. T. Letter to Monroe, Mo., News. William Cox was killed March 20th, while traveling ina wagon with his family, con- sisting of his wife, a girl seven years old, 2 five years old and a boy three years old. Perhaps a great many readers of the News remember Grimes Degarmore, a brother-in- jaw of John Baker, of Palmyra, and Charley Wright, of Philadelphia. Annie, Degarmore, better known in Union township as Sis“ Degarmore, married William Cox about nine years ago, and since then they have made their home in western Texas and the Indian Territory. Mrs. Cox arrived at Caddo a few Ways ago, and Iwill give her story as near as I can, for it is her request that it may be printed in the Monroe City and Palmyra papers. She says that William was killed on the morning of the 20th, about 7 o’clock. . The first thing I knew was the report ofa gun; I turnea and saw Wiliam fail back on the grass. He had been shot in the right breast, and never spoke afterward. I was sitting on the wagon, we were just ready to start; I saw that he was dead, and tried to hut the body in the wagon, but could not, so i pulled it under the wagon. I then took a horse out from the wagon and started to find some one to assist me. There was no house, as 1 found out afterward, within forty miles.“ She seemed to be overcome, and ceased talking, While her little girl, seven years old, finished tim story. She said: “Mamma went off to unt somebody to help us. Land sister and little brother stayed under the wagon with papa. Mamma got lost and did not come back that night. slept with papa under the wagon.” Mrs. Cox said: 1 got back the next day about nine v’clock, and again tried to put the body in the wagon, but could not. We stayed there that night, and next morning l saw that I would have to dv something with the body, sol buried ittha best 1 cbuld; with an ax and a board I dug his grave and buried him the best l could. I hliched up the horses and started to Colorado City, sixty miies away; the nearest place that Ikuew of. At about twelve o’ciock that day we tried to cross a stream; the horses mired down and we had to leave them, and traveled on foot until we fell in with some movers, Who took us to Colorado City. I know nothing about the shooting.” Mrs. Cox is here among strangers, though a wiid Indian would sympathize with her. She savs if any of her friends or relatives wantio write to her, direct to Mrs. Annie Cox, Caddo, Choctaw Nation Indian Ter- ritory.

Englishmen, who have always shown great interest io the welfare of their nels bor, Belgium, may be pleased to hear that that little country now ; in Antwerp, the chief port on the Continent. hereas the tonnage entering and leaving such important ports as Liverponl and Havre only quad- rupled between the years 1833 and 18 at Antwerp in the same space of time, it be- en me sixteen times more considerable. Since 1883, the has continued, and made very rapia advances. In 1883 the tonnage of the port reached 3,734,428 registered tons, This marveluus development is partly due to the position of Autwerd as embarking point from the Continent of Europe to America, aud partly also to the recent addi- tions and changes which have been carried out there, and which, now nearly en- tirely waged x has made this cosmopolitan port one of the best organized In the world. This is so well known that vessels bound for Switzerland with a cargo of corn from Russia pass Marseilles and go 2,000 miles out of their way for the purpose of uaload- ing at Autwerp. No other port, in fact, offers the same facilities. There is not another place in the world where fifty vesseis of 3,000 tons can come alongside as easily as the penny beats on the Thames run into the landing places. Since tue opening of the St. Gothara Tun- nel nearly all the alimentary provisions that Italy sends to the British Isles pass through Autwerp. In 1882 82,000,000 eggs and 30,000 pounds of fruit were shipped there for En- giand. The greater part of these came from Italy. Antwerp has become also an impor- ant port for emigrants; 35,125 embarked in 1882, out of which number 3,055 were bound tor New York. Thecity was aiways des- tined, from its topographical position, to be at the head of a very considerable tratlic; po- litical reasons alone for many years prevent- ed this being the case. These have happily now disappeared, and, since 1863, when the Scheldt was liberated,”’ the progress of com- merce has been more rapid than ever the mostardent Antwerp patriot dared hope. At that date the toll of 18. 11d. on all vessels going up the river, and of 744d. on vessels going down, was abollshed, and reforms were introduced among the taxes on the gen- eral navigation; the tax on tonnage in the port itself was abolisbed, and the pilot tax was lowered. The result of these measures vecame immediately apparent. Traffic in- creased with such rapidity that in 1876 the crowding on the quays was such that the re- lation of the tonage to the length of the quay was about 270 tons per yard, which is avout four times as great as Liverpool. A few words now, briefly, as to the nature of the important works nearly completed at Antwerp. ‘They were commenceed in 1877, and have opened for the port an era of pros- perity such as was never experienced even during the sixteenth céntury, the zenith of her splendor. These works have cost £4,- 000,000, and have necessitated the empivy- ment of 12,000 tons of wrought iron, of 49v,- 000 cubic yards of brick-work and coucrete, vf 32,000 cubic yards of masonry, and or more than 3,300,000 cubic yards of earth- work in diling and dredging, etc. The quay wall runs the whole length of the town, a distance of rather more than two miles. It rests ona foundation laid without timber footings, and giving a depth of 26 feet at low water, sufficient 4 awing for the largest ship afioat, Beyond this wall are the real quays, which consists of—first, a line of rails re- served for hydraulic cranes’ serving to un- ioad vessels and deposit their carga in rail- way trucks; secondly, a second line of rails parallel with the first, on which these trucks are siationed; thirdiy, sheds extending to- ward tne tuwn iora width of 150 teet, and covered with K- iron sheetings. A third tine of rails parallel with the two others runs from end to end of these sheds aud a number of tines placed traus- versely with this one connect it by means of spring bridges with, fourthly, four more jines also parallel with the quays, whencé the goods start for the differeut stations,and thenee to their destinations. The total width of these immense constructions is About 320 feet. Such is their magnitude that about 600 houses had to be pulled down to make room for them. A falling running along their entire length cuts them off from Lbe town. Duriug the course of last year 4,379 vessels entered the port of Antwerp, gauging a to- tal 01 3,784,428 tons, which piacés Antwerp, asl have aiready stated, at the head oi European ports. In 1882 the tonnage of Havre was only 2,200,000, that of Genoa 2,250,000, and that uf Biiboa 315,000, owing lv its iron or? exports. Among tue Engliso ports very few exceed Antwerp. London is still the first port in the worid, with a ton- unge of 10,421,000 tons, aud Liverpool the second, With 7,351,000 tons; Neweastie fo- lows witn 6,000, 000 tons, also ia excess of the Antwerp, but both Hull and Glasgow are be- low, With respectively 1,875,000 and 2,110,000 tons.

The prince of filibusters, so far as they were sern at Washington, was Gen. Hen- ningsen. He was an Engiishman by birth, and, alter having received 4 military educa- tion, he left for Spain, when 19 years of age, to serve in the forces of Don Carios as a staff officer of the partisan chief, Zuwalacarrequi. Aiter many acts of reckiess bervism he was captured, aud on the death of the partisan returned to Engiand in 183%. Two volumes from the youthiul officer’s pen tell the story ofa *“ITweive Months’ Campaign with Zu- malacarrequi.” He did not jet his sword rest long in idleness. Sehamyl, the prophet of Cireassia, had unfurled the banner ot rebel- lion in the Caucasus, and young Henningsen promptiy repaired to bis rauks. From the sunny Vales ot Spain to the snows of Russia Was @ Strange trauslation, but it was suf- ficient for him that a weak side needed a brave sword, Henningseu’s life in Russia furnished the material for half a dozeu volumes, published at various periods when peace drove him to enforced retirement. Such occasions were rare, however. The Hungarian revolution of 1848 and 1849 found him serving with distinction under Kossuth, and he was appointed Governor of Comon. Henniugsen achieved a European reputation in the disastrous strugele, and was lionized on his return to Engiand. Young, hand- some, with great jiterary talent, honored with the friendship of Weitington, he stil! yearned for fresh fields of adventure. He followed Kossuth to America, where his reputation had preceded “en and society welcomed Tim everywhere. ® married a Southern widow, Mrs. Coneily, of Burke County, Ga., a piece of Senator Berrien, a devoted and cultivated woman.

Wilcox, the agent in charge of the Sau Carlos Indian Reservation in Arizona, has sent areport to Indian Commissioner Price, which is full of sensational charges against the military authorities in Arizona, and especially against Captain Crawford, as- signed by Gen. Crook to the command of the troops inthe vicinity of the reservation. After giving an account of how Captain Crawford interferes with bis authority in proccess Indians who are murderers and horse thieves, he proceeds to give an account of a military murder committed under diree- tion of Captain Crawford himself. He shows, first, that indian murderers of white men, one of them under indietment, are pro- tected by the Captain from arrest. The Agent says: : In striking contrast with the protection afforded these murderers of some of the best citizens of Arizona and New Mexico, includ- ing Judge McComas, wife and boy, I will cite the case of Nez-Ki-Za, a San Carlos In- dian, weil known abvuut the agency as „Char- ley, who had been a faithful agency scout up tothe time of the disbandment of that force, July 31, 1883. The story of Charley’s offense is too long to be detailed here, though it is full of interest and well calculated to arouse the sympathy of every lover of jus- tice in a country where hearty approval nev- er fails to greet the acquittal of such as take human life and count it no crime as against the betrayal of a wife and the destruction of domestic happiness, Charfey had bought and paid for his wife. She had been en- ticed from his home and re- dress had been denied him. John Smith, chief of a band, who had re- ceived the price as brother and guardiag of the woman, approved the desertion, but re fused to restore any portion of the money he nad received for ber. Gen fired upon Smith with intent to kill, but failed in the performance, In the flight he came upon the faithless wife, who was living criminal- ly with another man. He took her life and escaped to the mountains. After many months he was captured by military scouts and taken before Capt. Craw- ford. A jury of indians * impaneled and Charley was condemned Yo die by the hands of his enemies. No friend was pres. ent at his trial to defend him. It was a re- vival of the Star Chamber of centuries ago- No white man in the service of the Interior Department at the 241 had a suspicion that a great tragedy was being rehearsed at Capt. Crawford's headquarters. Between 9 and 10 o’clock on the night following the day of the trial Charley was taken from his cell by Al. Seiber, Military Chief of Scouts, conducted by him alone to the hiding place of seven of John Smith’s band of cut-throats and delivered to then, heavily ironed, by order of Capt. Crawford, to be dealt wien as best suited their devilish mallce. Beaten with sticks, pounded with stones, and finally shot through the body. Charley died within half a mile of the agency buildings. and his mangied re- mains were buried next day by a detach- mentof prisoners from the calaboose, in charge of a guard of Capt. Crawford’s mili- tary scouts. The murder of Charley was committed on the night of November 30, 1883, and up to this time no record of the damn act bas gone abroad—evidence that even „Capt. Crawford was not insensibie of the infamy of an act for which healove is responsibie. The foregoing statements are susceptible of proof. Many other acts might be presented to show the unfitness of the man to remain among Indians, upon whom the Interior De- partment desires to impress the benign ſuflu- ences of a Christian civilization. I respeet- fuliy request atthe prompt action be taken in regard to the matters herein set forth, and that some clearly defined plan be at once adopted for the government of the Apaches by the undivided authority of the dey art- ment to which it rightfully belongs, Very respectfully your obedient servant, 1 P.

It sews that each year one of the general iInspeewrs of prisons visite the six centrai peniteutiaries where women con- victs are sei ving their time to ask for vol- unteers to go to New Caledonia as wives for convicts serving out sentences in that penal colony. Fifty women who answered this appeal were shipped the other day from Bordeaux, and when they arrive at New Caledonia they will be divided between two religious establishments, oue at Noumea, and the other at Buurall. The convicts of the first class--that is, those who have distia- guished themselves by good conduct, and who are accordingly ww be rewarded by land grants—are informed of the arrival of the women. ‘Those who are unmarried, or who are widowers and desire to get married, go to Noumea or to Bourail, where they are al- lowed to make their choice among the women. Of course, they are not forced to make a choice, nor are the women forced to marry if the men who select them do not please them, Tue authorities introduce the men and women to each other, and allow them to act as they please. During the last century a more rapid and more curious sys tem was in force. Wien the women arrived they, with the men, were drawn up in lines each other.

Mebearmon of St. Charies is In the y today. Mr. McDearmon’s friends are urging _ him to enter the political arena either as a canai- ante for Congress from the Seventh District or for the stat to be vacated by Judge Bakewell on the ur of Appeals.

Riche- son, H. W. Pneips, Theo. Allen, W. H. Chick, W. H. Block- J. B. Gauss, Chris. Pe r, T. B. Edgar, Wm. Orthwein, Wm. Druhe and W. A. James. “What do Ll think?” said Mr. Phelps this morn- ing when the report was called to his attention, “why I think that it isn’t worth noticing, I don't care a snap Ol my nuger What such men as they May say about me. The community knows who and what they are, aud what difference does it make what they say?” Mr. W. A. James was a trifis more inaignant. “T think it willbe simply an outage if such a report as that is permitted to go@pon file. Men are called away from their business to perform a laborious aud unpleasant duty, and if, when, in obedience to the instructions of court, they have cuuducied an fnvestigatien patiently, persever ingly aud withaut bias, they cannot be protected froi such unprincipled assaulis as this, then it 18 not strange that men ag ey | duty.” Mr. W. H. Block, another of the jurymen, laughed as he read the report. “I don’t think auy of us will take the troubie to answer anything from such a source,” said he; “but I guess they are mistaken when they say we confess in the civil suit that our report spoke falsely. We do nothing of the kind.“ Un inquiry on this last point it was dtcovered that this statement in the report amounted to a falsehood, inasmuch as it was a distortion of a teennteality. Suits were instituted against the grand jurors by Messrs. Lutz and Caruth. The grand jurors de- sirea to piead im defense that their statements were true, but their counsel insisted that the proper course was to take the ground that they were not bound to offer any defense as to the truth of the charees they had made; that their report was a aud that the police commissioners had no right in law to call them to an accountability. This position is set down in the report asa confession on tue part of the jury that they reported what was not true. It isnot probable that such a report as this will receive the indorsement of. either Gen. Gooding vr the Mayor, and as the Mavor and As. seinbly are not bound to accept and publish a slander disguised as a department report it 1s not improbable that, by rejecting the report in this shape, they will teach the Police Board trio that their impression that they bave been vindicated belore the public or any considerabie part of it, is a very erroneous one, * Folding Beds.

Regarding “Vacation,” which will de the at- traction at the Standard next week, the Philadel- phia Enquirer says: “Vacation,” a three-act ab- surdity, modeled after “Le Voyage en Suisse,” “Tourists,” Pop“ and various other mirth-pro- voking productions, was produced for the first time at the National last evening. There is no lot to speak of, the love of two students—one rom Harvard aad the other from Yale—for two Vassar girls, and the tender regara of a spinster for the old professor, the tutor of the students, supplying the thread of the story. ‘Vacation’ fairly bristles with fun and action, and there is no end of amusing complications. The bruat of the piece is admirably borne by Thomas Daty as Harry Mall from Harvard, and the Brothers Daly as the two Euglisu servants are simply irresist- iple, Miss Derious, a charming soubrette, played Virgie. aud plays it nicely.
