Maxwell, the Murderer, Starts for St. Louis To-Day. ——— — | New Details of His Arrival in Frisco What the Arch Murderer Looks Like — Southern Hotel Towels Stained With Blood and the Gar- ments Ripped From Preller’s Body Found in His Trunks, - MAXWELL, THE MURDERER. From a Sketeh Made in the Auckland Pelice Court. (This is a picture of Maxwell, the murderer, sketched from life in the Police Court at Auckland. San Francisco correspondents who have seen Maxwell say it is as near a perfect likeness as can be reproduced in ink. It was printed im the Auckland Herald more than a month ago and is the only cerrect picture of the man that has yet been presented.] The Pest-Dispatcn of yesterday gave the St, Louis public the first news of the arrival from Auckland of W. H. I. Maxwell, the effeminate, dudish young man who, on April s last, killed his friend and companion, O Arthur Preller, in room No. 144 of the Southera Hotel, this city, by administering chloroform. Maxwell made his escape to San Francisco, and thence to New Zealand, which he reached about twenty- eight days after the murder. He was arrested immedi- ately upon his arrival at Auckland and placed in the Government p rison there to await the coming of the St. Louis detectives. These, Messrs. James Tracy and G. W. Badger, sailed from San Fran- cisco June 7, arriving in Auckland June 2. On July 3, the extradition papers were presented in the Auckland Police Court, and en the evidence ad- duced Maxwell was given into the custody of the St. Louts officers. Detective Tracy presented the information against him made out by Prosecuting Attorney Clafborne, and identified numerous articles found in Maxwell's trunk. Detective Tuohy of Auckland identified several articles foundin the accused's traveling bags anden his person. W. J. Napier, Maxwell's counsel, insisted that the judge had no jurisdiction, but the fadge thought otherwise and Maxwell was arraigned on the information which wasread to him. He merely replied: I reserve my defense," and was remanded to jail to await the order of surrender from the Governor. There was a crowd at the pier in Saa Francisco to greet Maxwell when he arrived. As he left the Zealandia in the Government boat all the passengers whe had acoompanied him on the steamship CROWDED TO THE GANGWAY and had to be pushed back to allow the prisoner and officers to pass. This same interest was mani- fested in the prisoner when the boat reached the shore.

A Woman’s Fatal Fallin the Early Morn- N ing. John Kenny, assistant engineer, was awakened from his slumbers at 616 Market street at 2:30 oO lock this morning, by the groans of somebody in pain. Looking out on the little porch he saw the body of alarge woman lying still, except for the occasional moans. He discovered, on str'cing a t, that the unfortunate person was Mary Loftus, floor, ow and . was years of age, single, and of Irish extraction. She was ve weighing over 200 pounds, a physical cundli- to which is attributed the fatal resuits of the shortfall.

Brooklyn Excited Over the Mysterious Murder of a Prominent Citizen. New Tonk, August 11.—No murder which has been committed in Brooklyn for years has caused so much excitement and comment as that of the shooting#f, Albert R. Herrick, in his residence, No. 889 Pearl street, yesterday afternoon. Theheuse where the shooting occurred is an object of atten- tion to-day to the people who pass it.

THRO’ A TWO-FOOT WALL Two Prisoners Escape From the Spring- field, Mo., Jail. By Telegraph te the Post-Dispatca. SPRINGFIELD, Mo, August 11.—Two prisoners, Jim Brown and Ed Morgan, both notorious crimi- nals, who were incarcerated in our County Jail, made their escape at an early hour this morning by digging tarougk a two-foot brick wall. Jim Browm was only placed in jail last Sunday, char with robbing James P. Simpson of , as published in yesterday's Post-Dispatcn. Ine joke connected with the occasion is that Sheriff Donnell was sus- icious ——— that people from McOracken's Mill, the scene the recent dance tragedy, would make an effort to lyach Asbridge, and hence he strengthened the guard in and about the jail last night. it was during the time this extra precau- tion was taken chat ‘he prisoners hammered their way through the brick wall and made their escape.

A Grant Monument Association Organized This Morning. 3 Officers Blected and a Constitution Drafted—Mayor Francis’ Remarks— A Contribution of $100—The Discus- sion. The meeting of the general committee of the “Grant Funeral Pageant,” ca!led by Mayor Francis yesterday, was held this morning in his office. There were present: Mayor Francis, David Murphy, A. Wilnartitz, Miles Selis, C. H. Teichman, Anthony Ittner, F. Espenséhied, © D. Meier, Nelson Cole, Major H. C. Massengale, Jod. Temple and Geo. D. Reynolds. “i THE MAYOR stated that he understood that it was the general desire that the newspaper accounts of the memo- rial pageant should be sent to Mrs. Grant, and, secondly, that it was the genera] desire to havea monument erected at this point. “New York,” he said, “would doubtless take advantage of this fact to solicit subscriptions for a national monument to Grant, -and whileI donot desire to throw cold water on that scheme, | think taat the desire of the citizens is to spend money here.

THE MAYOR THEN SALD: “We don’t know that there will be any surplus, but we will provide for it.“ Mr. Reynolds said that it had been pro to expend a portion of the surplus in ha a concise account of the t suitably engrossed and sent to Mrs. Grant. This caused considerable discussion, and it was finally ordered a sum not — $100 be expended in haviug this done. ‘ihe memorial will coutain the Mayor's p n and all the subsequent proceedings, aod Messrs. Reynoids, Wilhartitz and Wili 8. Evans were appointed to getup the memorial. It was then ordered that the nameg of the New York dele- gation be inserted in the memorial. Massen then moved that whatever sur lus ve left over be appropriated for the St. Louis rant Monumen ation. This was carried. Mr. Franen said: “lt will take time to organize the Grant Monumental Association, and a treas ceive now ready give. moved that Major Massengaie be made treasurer of the asseciation.

A MATTER OF DIGESTION. The Only Sure Road to Happiness and Con- tentment. It is a fact that a man can do withont almost any - thing except dining. It is gate to go beyond that and assert that eating is not only a necessity, but it exerts the greatest influence on the happiness of mankind. It could doubtless be proven that most of the melancholy, the quarrels and despair that lead so often to suicide or divorce are not so much affairs of the héart as of the stomach. Misery and bad food go band in hand, and a poor cook is the arch-enemy of humanity. The beat advice to give one who ig ill in mind or body is to live well, eat food and be service which is furnished to custemers. The gen- tlemens’ restaurant is the most 3 peer resort in the city for e res, and his elegant ies’ restaur- ant up-stairs is a gem of elegance, beauty and com- fort.

COLD WATER BRIGADE, Plans Formed for Temperanee Work in the City. A mass meeting of temperance people was held at the Pine Street Tabernacle, last night, to arrange for a thorough temperance campaign during the summer and fall. The meeting was largely attend- ed. On motion, a committee of ten was appointed to raise money and adopt a plan for holding meet- ings in a tent or tabernacle at various points in the city, commenci:g at the Pine Street Tabernacie. The following committee was appointed: William O. Wilson, chairman; J. W. Barnes, E. P. Boler, E. S. Greenwood, Alex. D. Wilson, Prof. Hostetter, Mrs, E. Ellis, Mrs. A. C. Gibbs, M. D.; Mrs. Lyda Ingalis and Mrs H. L. Niedrmghaus. Tais committee held a meeting immediately adopted a plan for the campaign, decided to raise a fund ef $500 to purchase a large tent, secure seats and suppiy music aud literature for the meetings. The boots of the committee are opened for such contributions. It was arran that Ben Deering shall conduct the meetings, invit- ing speakers to aid in the work, and maua. details of tue campaign. The meetings are to inaugurated at the Pine Street Tavernacie to-night, and will be held several nights of each week at tuat and other points in tke city. THE INDIAN LEASES. How the Whites ia the Territory View the President's Order. Robert Mayne, a merchant of Tahiequah, I. T., registered at the Lindell Hotel this morning. Speak- ing about the leases of lands in the Nation affected by the President's order to a Post-Disparoa re- porter, he said; “There can be no doubt about the Territory, to the ef the Oklahoma and such white residents of the Territory — are not interested in cattie in ations ‘ It is not necessary to wait for an outbreak on the part of the Indians before taking action. That sort of policy is as bad as none at all. There is no use mincing matters. The lands in the Nation belong to the Indians and this rigat to them must be heid inviolabie. I estimate t there are bo- tween 175,000 and 200,000 cattle which wil have to be moved. I don't see why any of them should be thrown on the market, Tue beef steers will not have to be driyen any farther tnan the Cherokee strip and will not jose sufficient flesh on the trip to make it an object to their owners to sell them on a cheap market.

Loxpox, August 11.—In regard to Glaastene's proposed visit to the United States, I can mow con- firm what I cabled last Saturday, and add that ar- rangements were definitely made for Gladstone to sail for America this week, in company with a well- known American millionaire, who is interested in English politics and acquainted with many Fu- glish politicians. The plan was abandoned because Sir Andrew Clark absolutely forbade the voyage at the last moment. I have reasen to believe that a Visit by Gladstone to America is by no means an impoesibility , SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. Dr. Felix Simon, who, ih conourrence with Dr. Clark, is treating Gladstone's throat in a new and special mauser, pronounces the affeetion entirely local and strictly forbids public speaking. As Gladstone ts not a very good sailor, Dr. Clara specially feared the effect of seasickness, There is stil ground for anxiety on this acceunt, as it biew heavily from the southwest soon after the yacht Sunbeam sailed last evening, and it is now blowing agale. I can repeat confidently that no plans or engagements, political or otherwise, have been made yet by Gladstone. All depends on the results of his health on the present trip. RUSKIN'S ILLNESS. Mr. Ruskin's illness is of a cerebral nature, caused originally by cutting his leg while felling a tree at Brantwood, I believe he is very ill. DILKE'S COMMITTEE. Dilke’s committee bas postponed its decision in order to consult the leaders of the party. In the meantime the Conservatives have caused Chelsea to be placarded with bills bearing on the Seventh Commandment, witheut comment. This is @ specimen of the Tory amenities of politics. THE DEPRESSION OF TRADE. The Royal Commission on the depression of trade is ina bad way. The Conservatives are extremely indignant because in Salisbury's words he is boy- cotted by the Liberals. The Earl of Iddealeigh cannot get a single first-rate Liberal finoancier or economist to serve. The trade and shipping inter- ests will be fairly represented by outsiders. The Tories say it is unprecedented and unpatriotic for members to decline to serve on the Royal Commis- sion. The Liberals reply that to put only two or three free traders on the commission out of twenty persons, when free trade, is the orthodox and irrevocable policy of England, is ridiculous. The Radicals say the Tories might as weil ask men to join a commission to determine whether a man is better with or without fetters on his. legs. The truth is the plan is . A PARTY DODGE, & sop to be thrown from the Conservative platforms to mislead the workingmen. All the possible facts are already known by the Board of Trade. Even the Standard denounces the scheme.

BERLIN, August 11.—The Russian Minister of Finance bas prepared a measure enacting a close Government supervision of the affairs of all German firms carrying on manufacturing bueiness within the Czar’s dom nions. The bill will require that all the correspondence, both private and general, of these firms, shall be submitted to Russian officials. The result of the enforcement of the measure will be to expose German manufacturing firms carrying on business in Russia, to having their affairs known and made use of by dishonest Russian Bureaucrats The Rasso-Afghan Trouble. ATTITUDE OF THE AFGHANS. Lorpon, August 11.— The Times publishes a letter from Meshed Pasha, in which it is stated that the Afghans are acting in sucha way as to give the Russians no possibie excuse to moke any. attack. The writer says the Ameer's troops do not pass the frontier which Russia admits is Afzhan: that they refrain from moving their troops towards the Rus- sian positions and even from strengthening their own outposts. The letter also says that the excite ment among the Turcomans, which was recently attributed by an English writer to the alleged brutality of the Russian soldiery to the native women, is really due to the warlike preparations which Russ ia is making through Turcoman terri- | thir tory. DEADLY WORK OF A BOMBSHELL. Paris, August 11.—Four French soldiers while crossing a field at Fontainebleau to-day, found a bombshell. They attempted to unload it.

The army is being mobilized to ecoupy the differeut lines of reilway to be trav- reed by the Czarand to guard the bridges, tun- nels and crossings. The military precautions taken last year to protect the Czar against an outrage by Nihilists are being repeated on a larger scale, owing to the authorities having received information to the effect that the Nihilists in Europe have recently shown great activity and have plenty of money. : INCREASED ITS CAPITAL STOCK, The North German Lloyds Steamship Company has increased its capital stock $312,500. a ae The Dominion.

STRUCK BY THE ENGINE. A Young German's Mishap—Recovery ofa Rifled Mail Bag. By Telegranh to the Post-Dispatcn. Spruiworigs.D, II., August 11,--A poor German named Henry Schauz, aged 23 years, was brought to this city this morning and placed in St. John's Hospital. He was sleeping near the Chicago and Alton Railroad track near Williamsville last night. when the midnight express passed, and bearing the noise of the train and becoming bewildered he was crossing the track when the engine struck him, crushing his hips and breaking his back. He will not recover. Hamp Gilson, ex Sheriff of this county, to-day brought a mailbag to this city, which was found under a culvert on the farm of Samuel Dunn, near Curran, eight miles west of this city. The ‘mail sack had been rified of its valuable contents, the thief having cut a hole in the sack to get atthe contents. This ia the third find of this kind that has been made near Chis place within the past few months and the matter should be thoroughly investigated by the postal authorities.

Wiixespanng, PA., August 11.—Reliable informa- tion has just reached here that a terrible explosion of gas took place in the West End Coal Company's mines this morning at Mocauqua, fifteen miles from here. As far as can be learned ten miners were in- stantly killed and several others dangerously injured. THE DEAD AND IMPRISONED. Further intelligence of the disaster, says; “The fan eugine that supplies fresh air to the West End Mine, at Mocawaque, broke, depriving the miners of air. Four men have been brought to the surface dead, and four or five more are yet in the mine and cannot be reached owing to the impure air. TOOK THEIR CHAN. Just before the night shift went off of duty the fan broke. The boss knew of this and so did the men of the day shift before they entered the mine, but, notwithstanding this, they went into the mine, taking a great risk. There were about thirty men in all, who were supplied with safety lamps, as it was well known that the gas would acciimu- late. About seventy-five men were in the mine at the time when work began. The workmen repair- ing the fan were the first who were overcome with gas and about an hour later the same fate happened to many more in the mine. Before the men fairly realized the danger MORE THAN TWENTY WERE UNCONSCIOUS. Those who could then escape did so. Superin- tendent John Teasdale and several of his men be- came unconscious and were with difficulty rescued. Others went down, and in face of immense diffi. culties, and in spite of being continuaily over- powered with gas, got out all but ten men. Three of those brought out were dead, and the other six are beyond doubt dead. THE DEAD. The dead, as far as learned, are: James Whalen, William Veneby, Peter Bornitzsk, John Dilday, and Hiram Mead. THE INJURED. Among those whoare seriously overcome with the gas and badly injured are’ Burt Tromer, Thomas Hutchinson, John Andrews, John Teasdale, jr., Henry Croup, John Eastby, William Good, Fred Howe, and others whose names cannot be learned at the present writing. A DOCTOR OVERCOME. Dr. Hughes, a prominent physician of Hick- shinny, went down into the mine to assist the injured men and was overcome by gas. He was rescued with difficulty, and was brought to the surfacs senseless. STILL UNCONSCIOUS. 2p. u. — Si hours after the accident Super- intendent Teasdale, who is also part owner of the mine, is still unconscious, MISSED THE MARK: The Sig al Service Prediction Only Partly Realized To-Day.

By Teegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Preori4, III., August 11.—It is stated that some Peoria distillers have been using barrels constructed with a thick stave opposite the bung, and the bung stave also was madé thick, and the heads of the barrel, instead of being three-quarters’ of an inch in thickness, were only half an inch. These barrels hold from a gallon toa gallon and a half more than the gauger's rod and callipers show. Some time ago, as the report goes, some whisky, belonging to the Manhatt em Distillery, was detained in the East for aleged sharp practice in barrels. They beld more than they were gauged, and, it all reports are true, the Manhattan is not the oniy house that is on the edge.

The Valley Worsted Mills at Provi- dence Suspends Payment. Provipence, R. I., August 11.—It was rumored on the stréet to-day that the Valley Worsted mills had suspended payment and shutdown. At the com- pany's office it was learned that a note of consider- able amount had been protested in New York, August 6, and that yesterday the company had sus ended payment of the amount involved. An investigation into the com- 8 affairs is in progress. The amount protested not seriously large, but other notes are coming in and probably will be protested. Most of the creditors are Boston and Providence ople. and the future of the mills will depend gely upon their decision. A STORM’S RAVAGES. Badly Flooded This Morning. Kansas City, Mo., August 11.—A heavy rain and thunder storm visited this city before day- break this morning and caused the flooding of the cellars and streets in all parts of the city and also causing serious damage. Two brick bouildings two stories high, on Grand avenue, occupied, one as hardware and the other as a dry goods store, collapsed during the storm and were totally wrecked owing to undermining by water and their defective construction. Ten per- sons were lodging in the buildings at the time. All escaped uninjured. The Kansas City THE TRADES PAGEANT. About Two-Thirds of the Floats Will be Sent to New Orleans. Gen. C. W. Squires, Commissioner for Missouri to the Mexican and South American Exposition, which opens at New Orleans next November, has for -some time been in communication with Director-General Buck, at New Orleans, in ard to obtaining certain space for this State. The space has been obtained and the plan which Gen. 3 was maturing has been declared feasible by Mr. Buck. The plan is to ship the most of the Trades Pageant floats that will appear in the coming display to New Orleans by „and give them piace in the Missouri exhibit. The proposi- tion has been submitted by Gen. Squires to the Trades Pageant Assoviation, and President C. H. Sampson told a Post-Dispatca reporter that it would be discussed at their meeting to-morrow night. The sentiment of the association favors the plan and it will probably be indorsed. 80 far it is knowo that there will be thirty-five floats in this year's display, and it is probabie that two-thirds of these, upon by a committee of the Association, will be sent to the Crescent City. The fact that they are to be used in the E tion will stimulate their builders to do their very best to make them attractive, as those which the commit- tee will select for shipment must be thoronghly illustrative of the best interests of the city. From present indications the display will be a grand one. St. Charles. Spectal Correspondence af the Post- Dt nato. 8 Sr. Coarizs, Mo., August 11.—Mr. J. B.

When, several months ago, Mr, Maurice Joyce became Mayor of East St. Louis and immediately began to inaugurate measures which ultimately resulted in the vanishment of the gamblers from the city, it was generally thought that the exile of the knights of the green cloth from their dominion onthe Island would be perpetual. For months after their departure the Island, which was formerly the scene of so much life, aud illegal, oftimes riot ous pleasure, became at night as peaceful asa graveyard, The houses along the levee formerly used for gaming purposes remained unoccupied, and the belated East St. Louisan on returning across the bridge no doubt greatly missed the sights which he was wont to gaze upon. Imagine the amazement of such a one on returning acrons the bridge last night and beholding, once again, the Island all aglow with lights from tbe houses on the river front, And upon beholding also the loungers who were wont to assemble near the gaming houses in days gone by there once again, and several car- riages aloo, standing in front of the doors. If any doubt existed in the mind of che individual as to the cause of this, of late, unusual scene, it was imme- diately dispelled when he came opposite the houses and 2 through the open windows the play- ers seated around the gaming tables. The exiled gamblers had returned. There must, indeed, have been quite a number of pie who witnessed this sight last night, for the principal subject of conversation this morning was about the 2 having re- turned to their old haunts on the Island, and run- ning without molestation from the authorities, who certainly have had sufficient reasons to expect that an attempt by the gamblers to re-open their houses was not at all unlikely. Only afew days ago the announcement was made in St. Louis papers that Messrs. James Tarrants, James Ames, Glaud and Singieton Cave and Harry Emery were soon to open up their old haunts and give the sporting fra- ternity in St. Louisa chance to indulge once more in the exciting games of faro, keno and poker. It was rumored that they were to start up Saturday night, and though they actually did open up on that evening but very few except those who went tothe house to play were aware of the fact. ALL DAY SUNDAY a game could easily be procured, but a certain amount of secrecy was observed to prevent the information that the gaming houses were reopened from becoming neral. iog that everything went along smoothly, and evidently having no fear of molestation, the gamblers became bolder, and last night everything was run wide open. Amid all the glow and activity observable on the Island last night the gloom which prevailed around the estab- lishmeat where the notorious Sam Protine formerly beld forth was noticeabie. PROTINE was seen this morning and asked the reason why he did not open up with tke others. “The reason i-, he replied, that I was frozen out. You see when the gamblers tried to get ridof me before and not only failed but finally had to leave the city themselves, they vowed that they were going to get even with me. Well, what did they do? When they thougaot that they had ef- fectualiy gotteu me out of the way they go to work and organize a sort of a stock company, with about $150,000 capital, and securing permission to run again on the Island, open up again and leave me out in the cold. But never mind, [ll make it warm for them yet, and I will show them a trick worth two of theirs, before many days have elapsed. And what is more, 1 don't only propose to make them suffer alone but also the parties who allow them to run. Don’t think that I am talking rashly, aud don't mean what I say for I assure you that I have it in my power to hurt some of the members of the City Council, and others high in power, more than you y ore For instance, if 1 were TO PRODUCE CONVINCING PROOF that secret meetings between certain members of the Council aud the gambiers were held in St. Louis at Gundelfinger's, at Sam Eckers and the Laclede Hotel, and were to give the dates of the meetings, the names of those present, and what was done, 1 fancy those who were guilty of receiving bribes to permit the gamblers to open up their houses again would feel rather cheap. But I gan do 80, and, what's more, I will, if they don't alter cheir present inten- tion of freezing me out. I intend to consult the authorities in Belleville, and if the East St. Louis authorities don't close up the house, why, I will take out warrants for the arrest of those now running, and have Belleville authorities serve them.” CHIEF HALLORAN was seen this morning, and when asked whether o not he was cognizant of the fact that gambling Was going on on the Island, replied that hehad no knowledge that such was the case. “But it is tbe common talk of the town?” “Well, if there is any gunbing going. on on the Island the officers would surely know something about it, and would make a report to taat effect, but I assure you that no such report bas ever been made. “But if you were convinced that gambling was really going on would you not begin to raid the houses at once, in pursuance of Mayor Joyce's or- ders? l “Most likely, but then I am certain that no gambling is going on.“ Althoushs the Chief was persistently pressed nothing more satisfactory was obtained from him. THE CITY COUNCIL had just adjourned when a reporter of the Post DIsPATCH came into the Council Chamber for the purpose of seeing whether they had anything to say in to the reappearance of the gambiers in the al veiy but upon ascertaining that the reporter was toler- ably well versed about the matter they did not show any great amount of hesitation in giving their views or the question. One member who is said to be notable for his taciturnity seemed on this occasion more willing to express an opinion than avy of the others. ‘‘And what if they are running again!“ he said in reply to the reporter's inter- rogatory as to whether be was aware of that fact. “What harm do they do? Why, when the gamb- lors left everybody on the Island ,protested against toeeir banishment, because it was their presence alone which gave any lite to the place.“ When questioned in regard to the meetings sald to have been held in St. Louis be- tween them and the gambiers, the members of the Council, of course, denied emphatically that any such meeting were ever heid. MAYOR JOYCE is at present in New York and will not be back before next Saturday, and as it is quite evident that nothing will be done to discontinue gambling until the Mayor's arrival, reputable citizens are anxious to see what steps he will take in regard to its sup- pression. Anex-city official, who has some litiie experience himself in between the kuiguts of the green cioth, by which the latter are promised immunity for certain co; - | sideration, said this morning thai he certaiu that the gambiers had of the Council to run, and would not be 3 r — a 5 whois acting or during Mr. Joyce's absence. id that no official notice had been received said by him that gam was on, but it suo nare | NOW the case he was pom bik ory Soe! or Joyce woald | suppress iton his retura.

It is that the curtain will be finished by the open in October 28, by the Thomas concerts. Enough other scenery to enable the Choral Bociety to successfully render its performances on the opening night was also contracted for. The large curtain will represent an out-door scene with figures personifying the various forms of human endeavor ascending steps to a temple, and will cost about $2,000. 3 1 2225 Bee zl BaF 211 U 2 — — sous 88 dee es n oo 8 Barr Kall 18 youre 2804 State esl. | 9676897; October 9954a$1; November $108.

It will now proceed to show how much it mourns. FoLLowine the proclamation against the Dlegal grass leases comes a proclamation ee | Br ae. of the public domain. President Ci ND evidently believes that ours is a people’s Government. — Any apprehension that the public interests would suffer in order that the President might go a-fishing will be dispelled by the proclama- tion against Ulegal fencing, issued yesterday, to which we invite our readers’ attention. — eeemennmnd Tun creditable showing made by St. Louis in connection with the Grant funeral is largely due to the patriotism, energy and discretion of our young Mayor, Davip R. Francis. He has done most excellent work, and has set an example which we commend to all the public- spirited citizens of this great city. A —ͤ— ͤ —ĩ THERE will be no objection to the selection of Forest Park as a site for the Grant monu- ment, but until the committee has been ap- pointed and has acted on the question, it is just as well to leave that question open. The first thing to do is to raise the money. After that it will be easy enough to get the location. — Tur two best sites in Forest Park have been pre-empted and occupied by statues of great menin Prince Albert coats. Tower Grove Park is occupied by Humsponpr and Sax SPEARE, anda place must be kept for that great and liberal citizen to whom we owe the Park. The Lindell Avenue Boulevard would be greatly improved by an equestrian statue of GRANT on some elevated point. by — i THE warmest eulogy of Senator CockKRELL so far comes from the St. Joseph Herald, the Republican organ of Northwest Missouri. It substantially pledges the Republican vote in the Legislature to COCKRELE against any other Democrat, and seems to be convinced that the St. Louis Republican and the St. Joseph Gazette are both in a conspiracy to undermine COCKRELL and elect Burnes. Their shooting at each other is characterized by the Herald as amere sham battle, gotten up to deceive the public, while all the missiles from both sides are really aimed to hit CocKRELL. — — — Tux British peers are going to inquire into the causes of the depression of trade in En- gland. The great cause of the depression is that the rest of the world is catching up to Great Britain in the staple manufactures, and we doubt whether the British peers can do anything to prevent it. The patriotic eye of Brother Jonathan is already looking into the near future to see the Yankee nation making cotton goods for Manchester, Hindoo idols and brass buttons for Birmingham, and steel rails and locomotives for the British railways. The British peers are requested to paste this in their coronets. R Some of our wrong-headed contemporaries are disposed to criticise the Post-Dispaton for having collected a couple of thousand dollars in St. Louis for the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund. We may remark that if it can be proved that any contributor to our fund has been reduced to destitution by his liberality we will refund the money, but we have not heard of any such case. It would be only proper if our wrong - headed contemporaries who refrained from giving—purely from patriotic motives—would also refrain from criticising those who did give. As they cannot do this, we will suggest to them that now they have an opportunity to show the world just how the thing ought to be done by booming the Grant monument, Let them take off their coats and go to work. | THERE is a sad and painful interest attached to the landing of the Zealandia with the mur- derer MaxXWELL. on board. The vessel was expected in on Sunday morning, and on Satur- day night the reporters of the morning papers stationed themselves on the seaend of Meiggs’ wharf, where, according to their own account, they “kept vigil during the long hours from horigon, and their eyes were done up ia red tape fram “keeping vigil,” the special corre- spondent of the Post-Disratcu stepped down to the wharf in an easy and careless manner about 9 a m. on Monday, and, seeing the Zealandia coming in, proceeded to scoop it for the benefit of our readers. A subscription will be taken up to buy eyewater for the un- fortunate gentlemen who “kept vigil.” Ee A other great cities of this country will soon have Grant monuments. But in no other city will a Grant monument stand associated with the most pathetic incidents of his life asin St. Louis.

Here the future Chief Magistrate, after he had been educated at West Point and been promoted for distinguished service in the Mexican war, ap- plied in vain for employment in the city’s en- gineer service. A Grant monument in St Louis would whisper more hope to the struggling many than anywhere else in the world, and for other obvious reasons St. Louis can ill afford to be the one great city in this country without a monument to the only President of the United States who was ever a St. Louis man. EEE Ir is beginning to dawn upon the public mind with rosy morning freshness that the present Administration will be no respecter of persons so far as the execution of the law is concerned. The mightiest combinations of capital and influence will stand before the law on precisely the same level as the individual citizen of the humblest type, and questions of egal right will be determined without bias from the magnitude of the interest involved. When the whisky men failed to obtain an ex- tension of the bonded period from Congress, they succeeded in obtaining substantially the same thing from a Department ruling. This was such a hair-splitting construction of the text of the statutes that, by a hittle more hair-splitting, they tried to convert the seven months’ extension into a virtual release from liability to pay the whisky tax. They represent a great many millions of dollars, a potent influence ramified through many communities and States, Many banks are deeply interested in their relief, and they counted on the weight of all this influence with the Administration. Bus they areas bitterly disappointed as the trespassing cattle barons were. Attorney- General GARLAND has decided that their ex- portation bonds will be forfeited at the end of the seven months’ extension, and that the Government may then proceed to collect, either upon the forfeited bonds or by the usual method of distraint, and he recommends the latter as the safest and most expeditious plan. So they are obliged to go to work and pay the tax right away, or see their whisky all sold for taxes. 2 yy Railroads and Taxation. From the St. Joseph Gazette. The Gazette hag never engaged in any clamor against railroads, On the contrary, it delights to learn of their prosperity, becauss it believes they are great factors in the development of the State and the prosperity of the people. It does not now propose to join in any how! against them; yet, if it be true, as asserted, and they are constantly seeking to evade the payment of the taxes assessed against them, they are deserving of the most severe condemnation. If they will not pay they should be made to. If there is no law to compel prompt payment, the next Legislature shonid pass one within the first ten days of its session. Here are some figures which the public will look upon with amazement: According te the report of the Board of Railread Commissioners, the value of railroads and railroad preperty in Missouri on the lat day of June, 1854, was $103,523,555. This valuation is net excessive, because the railroad masagers them- selves value the same property at $224,000,000. The mcome upon the property is not less than §10,- 000,000. The State Board of Equalization, for pur. poces of taxation, places the value of all railread property at $38,380,816 98. This is but one-sixth of the stock and bond value, and yet it is shown that the aasessed tax could noi, or has not been, collected on the amount. For the year 1834 there was @ delinquency of over $40,000. For the yea previous the delinquency was evan worse. There is no reason inthis. It ought not tobe tolerated, aad must not be inthe future. The official who con- nives at it will receive and deserves the condemna-~ tion of the public. We demand, in the interest of the public goed, that all mea and all corporations shall pay their taxes honestly and promptiy, and that no favoritism shall be shown individuals or corporations. A Democratic Mayor. From the New York Evening Post. The Democratic Mayor of Boston ig having just the same kind of a fight with the party machine on a small scale that the Demvucratic President of the United States la having on a large scale. The Mayor is using the enlarged power of his office is the public interest, and the disappointed spoils- hunters are doing their best to thwart him. He removed the Superintendent of Streets the otber day for extravagance and mismanagement, and the Board of Aldermen promptly “vindicated” the derelict official by electing bim ‘o fill a vacancy as Clerk of Committees, a place for which he has no fitness, instead of promoting a deserving subordi- nate. The Democratic Aldermen-evidently thought that this action would be a powerful rebuke“ to the Mayor, but he does not seem to care anything at all for their exhibition of spite. Meanwhile public sentiment is rallying to the Mayor's support, and even the Boston Journa! sees that he is going to come out ahead. But Mayor O'Brien ig not a whit more sure to win in his fight for good govern- ment in the city than President Cleveland in his contest along the same lines in the corduct of the national Government. 3 Grant and Halleck. A Letter br the Late Gen. C. F. Smita. Prrrapure, Tun, March 17, 1862.—The public are all astray about Gen. Grant. His habits (drink) are unexceptionable. His absence duriag the en- gagement to see Flag Officer Foote was explained to the satisfaction of Gen. Hallecz, and his going to Nashville was perfectly proper if he thought fit to go. The reason why both McOlellan and Halleck from him for two weeks, although he always wrote once and sometimes twice or thrice a day, and sent daily reports of the strength of his force. Why these reports were not recvived is not known, but the momagt Iiglieck bad Grent’s explanation he was restered to command. Grantis a very modest person. From old awe of me- be was oue of my pupils from 1888 to 1842 (I thiek)—be dislikes to give me an order, and says I ought to bein his place. Fancy his surprise when he received no communication from the General for two weeks af- ter the fall of Donelson, and that a telegram of bitterest rebuke! He showed it to mein utter amaze- most, wondering at the cause, as well he might. A People's President From the Lancaster (Mo.) Excelsior. The time has come, at last, when wealthy corpora tions ean no longer do as they please, can no longer set the law at defiance and trample the rights of others under foot. This bas ceased to be a govern- ment for the benefit of the rich moneyed kings aad speculators, only. It will take months and per- haps years for these favored and pampered classes to realise that they are nothing more than human, and that the institating of gevernments among men could have had any higher aim than their aggrandizement. We. in common with the greet body ef the American people, extend our con- gratulasions to President Cleveland for his prompt and manly action, and congratulate ourselves that we have at laste President that cannot be bullied duty, no difference whose pecuniary interests may be affected. A President who knows uo rich, no poor, and who exacts a strict observance of the law from all. | Alleged Human Fossils. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. The discovery of fossil human remains in an er- cavation pear the city of Mexico may not prove so important as has been reportet. The discoverers were Prof. Barcena, government and Col. Castillo, in charge of the building of the military shooting-echool for which the excavations are made. The fossils were imbedded in very hard cal- eareous tufa, which filled the cellular tissue of the bones, but they were not incrusted with calcareous rock, as in modern formations. No fossils of any other animal have yet been found in the same stratum of rock; there was some quaternary shells, of species that exist at present. Prof. Bar- cena concludes that while the exact age of the re- mains cannot be established for want of evidence, yet they prove “an astounding antiquity of man beyond anything yet surmized. Not to insist on the Calaveras skull—the Neanderthal cave man is the most antiquated human remains hitherto found, but many human implements have been found in the quaternary deposits, in the period of the mas- todon, and no intimation is given of proof that this calcareous tufa is older than thar period. Not a Fireworks Mas. From the Philadeiphia Record. There is one characteristic of Mr. Cleveland's administration which common-sense falk will bear in mind if its foolish critics de not, and that isa characteristic which conveys in itself tke best proof of honesty. There is no shrinking from the settiement of big affairs for a pretentious agitation of picayune issues. The New York offices, the Indian question, the cattle kings’ demenstration— such matters as these are metas they come up, and deait with promptly, and with vigor. This is the best test of integrity and devotion to duty. A weak man ora politician would offer up a Higgins era Jones, or some minor effender, with glare of red lights and blare of brass bands, and become so completely absorbed in the ceremony that he would forget all about tackling the big rascais, But this is not Cleveland's style; and it is because he shows courage and consistency in important affairs that the people trust his judgment in minor matters, or, if he makes mistakes, are only too anxious to ex- cuse them. Cockrell Suite the Republicans. From the St. Joe Herald (Rep.) If the Democracy of Missouri has one pure man, that man is Francis M. Cockrell. If it has any one man im Missouri's Congressional delegation of whose integrity and uprightness and ability the party can be proud, that man is Francis M. Cockrell. If there has been one man in the Missouri delega- ton who has been fair and honorable in the matter of appointments, and who has administered his high office for the benefit of the people, not dis- criminating on account of political preference, that man is Francis M. Cockrell. His questions before“ endorsing any applicant were simply as to qualifications, not as to political preference. And this is why the old mossback Mis- souri Republican is attempting to pull him down, There is none of the artifleial about Senator Cockrell. He isa plain-spoken, honest gentieman, whose word has been tried, and found always as good as his bond. Bince the days of Benton, Mis- souri has had no man who stood higher in the councils of the nation. Sherman on Graas's Religion. From the New York World. The army people who have been assisting in the Grant funeral] ceremonies do not think much of Dr. Newman's attempt to make out Granta devoutly religious man, They all say that Grant hada sincere respect for people's religious views, but he never in all his life made any professions of piety. They point to the fact that while the General was writing, nearly every day upto thé day of his death, he never made in all those writings a single reference to religion. Gen. Sherman, who is about as religious a man as was Grant, was approached by an intimate army friend son after the Newman sermon. Said thisfriend: “You see what is be- fore you. Grant has been made areligious man. Within the next twenty years you will be probably held up by some person as a taint.“ Sherman's reply was irreverent, but very characteristic. Said he: “Grant is dead and doesn't care what is said about him now. No more will I. when lam dead and gone.” Cleveland Talks, From the New York Evening Post. The resident himsef bears testimony, in a con- versation reperted this morning, to the eager watch which public opinion is keeping upon him, and attests his sincerity by rejoicing over it. I d6 not think,“ he says, any administration for many years has been so closely and jealeusly watched by tke people as this one, and lam glad of it. If any of us were tempted by pressure or by our own weak- ness to go wrong, I believe we should not dare to do it, for it seems to me the eyes of the whole people are fixed upon us. Every smallest pubiic act of mine or of the Cabinet is talked of and discussed. If we make mistakes, as can't be helped, we hear of them at once, and I say for myself that this kind of close watch is a help to my endeavors to do my duty. It shows that the people want good government.” Chief Justiee Mike. From the Lebanon Sestinel (Greenback), “Chief Justice Mike” is not to be blamed for his officia! truckliog to the railroad imerests of the State as he represents the railroad official contin gent on the Yemocratic State ticket, The Demo- cratic machine needs oil,“ and the railroads p- sess the necessary oll“ and need the office of Sec- retary of State. Mike McGrath possessed tue necessary requirements—Democracy and a pliable conscience—and he is there asa result of a trade with duties outside the law, clearly defined and thoroughly understood. The railroad interests pay their money and take their goods and Mike, in serving them, is simply paying a debt, contracted by his party managers. Make the party respon- sible and not the instruments used. Too Mach Watered Stock. From the Philadelphia Times. The railroads of this country could make a pretty good profit, even in duli timea,if they were paid for. Orthey could make fair interest on their actual cost if actual cost only were to be provided for, It-is the need of providing both for bonded debt aud for watered siock that makes the trouble. The share capital of all the railroads of the United States is 8.762 millions, and their funded debt 8,669 millions. Their net earnings last year were 266 millions, or just 844 per cent on their ageregate capital and indebtedness, This would have paid 71-10 per cent on the share capital alone, or it would have paid 7 8-10 per cent on the funded debt. The interest actually paid on the funded debt was 4 8-10 per cent. After Cockrell's Seat. Frem the Rockport Journal. It is stated on good authority that Col. Jimmy Burnes wants to succeed Gen. Cockrell for Sena- torial honors. The aspirationg of Col. Burnes know no bounds. He is a lick politician, has a bushel of money, and when he fasieus his eye on an office he usually este there, Eu If he wants Senater Cockrell’s position the probability is that he will get it if it costs him ainety-nine cents on the dollar. About the nest ag we hear of him de- ing will be to reduce the democratic of the State to an oven stand-off, when he will then nave the audacity to ask for a place on the Presi- dential ticket. — 2 as From the St. Joseph Gazette.

From the St. Joseph Herald (Rap. This sham battle between the St. Louis Republic- an and the Gazette is simply for a feeler, to see how “Burnes for the Senate” will strike the people.

Various Matters of Interest to Em- ployers and Employed. The woolen manufacturers are making as loud complaint as any other manufacturers over the un- remunerative character of manufacturing. An old woolen manufacturer says a Lawrence girl weaves more cloth and does it better than any other factory girl in the world; that wages are bigh here and low in Great Britain, but that work is done at a lower price here. This man tells us why, with all our advantages, we do not succeed as woolen manufac- turers.

PAUL A. runs. of the Chonteau, Harrison & Valle Iron worm, was not very enthusiastic, but he freely vent There is nothing of such deep and powerful in- terest just now to business men and the people generally than the prospect for the fall trade. It is the engrossing subject of conversation on the streets, of the said: It is dimoult thus early in the season to cor. rectly tell w hat kind of a fall trade we are going to on ‘Change and whenever two merchants meet. Visitors from the country are subjected to close and exhaustive cross examinations on the condition of the crops and the feeling of country merchants, who are the indicators of the most important factor in the commercia! world. the farmer. The slightest touch of good or evil fortune on the finances of the horny-fisted agriculturist is felt to the uttermost depths of Wall street and in every counting-room and storein the land. When he smiles all the world is bappy, aad when he groans his fellow- countrymen are in pain. Good crops and a dispo- sitien to buy on the part of the farmer means bread and meatand money to the cities, and hence the business outlook this coming fall, after an unusually hard season, is of commanding importance, It means failure or prosperity to a vast number of inen. The mer- chants are gathering pointers, and the traveling salesmen are carefully searching for clews to the state of the immediate future. In order to collect the various information and im- pressions of the business men, to feel the pulse, so to speak, ef tne commercial organizations and to obtain the concensus of general opinion, a corps of Post-Dispatom reporters interviewed some of the leading representatives of different classes of trade in the city. Opinions dffrer greatly, but from all an average may he Struck, or, at least, what may be best expressed asa general tendency of feeling, fuvorable or otherwise, may be, found. _# THE RESULT Is FAVORABLE. Only one merchant expresses the opinion that business will be wotse than last year; not more than one or two place it at about the same as last year; many of the merchants look for a sound, substantial, active condition of business, and some of the leading men with splen- did judgment in such matters regard the outlook as fine, even better than that of former prosperous years, This opinion is based on several reasons. All the crops, except wheat in the North and Nortb- west, are excellent, and in the South all crops are extraordinarily fine in actuality or in promise. It is to the South mainly that St. Louis looks for her steady trade. Collections are good and getting better, and money is plentiful. Another powerful reason for good trade is that the prices are conceded to be as low as they can get and merchants will not hold back in fear or hope of further reduction, as they have been doing. They can safely buy largely at once and not in driblets, as the goods are actually needed. Still another reason is the fact that confidence is restured and pe ple will not be afraid to part with the money they have. For these reasons the merchants say they look for active trade. One of the best pieces of testi- mony offered is given by Mr. Simmons, whose opinion is based on careful investigation and actual knowledge. He sent ciroulars to the merchaats of twenty-seven States inquiring as to the money. crops, stocks and prospects, aod on the ctreng t of the replies looks for a splendid trade. The individual expressions of opinion may be MR. BROWN of Brown, Daughaday & Co. said: “The outlook for business this fall is good through the South and Southwest. Our men report the country in a better condition than last year. There is a differ- ence of opinion regarding the condition of stocks. some reports being to the effect that they are low. and others that there are considerable geods left over from last winter. Collections are goou, and altogether things are in better shapethan th wereayearago. There isnot nearly te much on; confidence is felt are gonerally, and, under these circumstances, we lock for «a trade. MR. HARGAINE, of Crow, Hargadine & Co., had been off on a vaca- tion, but was sufficiently well acqualated with the state of trade to be able to sketch a ht view of the immediate future. He suid: “The spring A. was very goed—much larger than that of last season—and up to date the summer months’ business is considerably in excess of any thine that we had looked for. There wil be no and, what's more, I'm glad of it. We don't t any boom; booms always bring excitement. we want is a steady flow of business, em- — from a legitimate demand. I think we'll v uon a demand, and that trade this fall will be as 2 as we've ever seen it before. Yes, sir; and I tell that I know; I've been around. — —— H— Retail Dry Goods. MR. B. NUGENT of B.

Flour. ALEX SMITH said: “I think the prospects fora good fall trade are excellent. It is true the wheat crop is a failure, but the corn crop will be immense and it isan established fact that ‘in cern lies the wealth of this country.’ I thin k that ja the fall there will bea general revival of trade in every direction, and business will be brisk.*’ k. o. STANARD said: Business will pice up this fall, though I don't anticipate any very startling developments. Asthe matter stands now business is very de- pressed, especially in the flour and breadatuffs line, but the reasons for this are obvious. We are now payisg seaboard prices for wheat, which is an unnatural state of things. We cannot com- pete with eastern flour and breadstuffs when we are handicapped with the freight on them to those points. They manufacture flour as cheaply as wecan and have no freight twreaddonit. Tais ume we were doing ati nse Kastern and foreign business, but unless wheat comes down, and I think it will, we will get none of it. Thereis no preference shown for the products of our mills in foreign markets, and foreign dealers are aswell satisfied with the products of the milis of New York and Baltimore as wita those of St. Louis. In this section, and in fact in this country, St. Louis winter wheat com- mandsa premium. The revival in trade will come from che South, where the crops, particularly cotton, are first rate.” REDMOND CLEARY said: “I think trade will improve, though grain men have no reason to com- n now, as their business has been excellent. Tae ailure of the wheat crop has undoubtediy had its influence in depressing trade, but the largésess ef crops of other cereals and of cetton will create a better feeling. Wheat is too high for ng, and when such is the case flour cannot be ship “With any profit, and uniess the Eastern markets go higher or this market s lower there will be no revival in the flour trade which is, just now, about as bad as it can be. Has. v. ORTHWEIN said; “I look for a _ ~revival fer ssveral reasons. We have had a tremendous crop of oats, we will have a big crop of corn and cotton. Although these do not realize as much as wheat they will fully make up fer the loss. Then capital is not so timid, and as far as I can see there is a general feeling of confidence. Wheat is ali out of proportion and the foreign trade is gorresponaingly dep The markets here muff go down—and it is highiy probable that they wili—or the Eastern markets must 12 up, which is not likely. Tnere is a good demaud fer our milling products, though no reference is shown fur our products over those ef ‘astern mills. We make tne best winter wheat four in the world, but while there are plenty of uses for such flour there is also a corresponding de- mand for spre wheat flour. The demand and supply are always about equal, but we cangot ship flour to foreign ports at the present price of wheat and compete with Eastern markets, JOEN WAHL said; “I do not anticipate any revival. I can't eee where it is to come from. It true, the corn crop is fine, but that will do us vo good ustil next year. The Southern trade will be good, but that is about tae only direction in which trade will move. The foreiga, Eastern and Western markets will do us no good. There is plenty of capital ready for invest- mont, butthere are no openings fer such uses for K.“ Hardware. MR. K . SIMMONS was enthusiastic upon the subject of fall trade and dilated opon the prospects of an increasing busi- ness in a refreshing and assuring manner. I have made ita point to asceriain the state of feeling among merchants throughout the country with refer-nce to the pres cts of trade for this fall, and everywhere | find that preparations are being made on ap extensive scale to meet the demands of the rushing business which is looked for, said he, “I sent letters all over the twenty-sevea Siates in which our trade lies, inquiring as to condition of the crops; the amount of goods on hand, the amount of goods that would probabiy be needed within the next six months,and other details of that nature and the replies are suck as I thought justified me in laying in a heavy stock of which I have accordin.ly done.» In addition chat, our traveling men report an encouraging condition of affairs in the mercantile world and keep sending in heavy orders right along. Tuus for eur business has bees larger an I have ever known it before. Of course it will be better within afew weeks. Yes, sir, I think that loan safely shy that we were never so busy before and that the fall trade will be largely in excess of that of last year.” J One of Mr. Summons" clerks informed the reporter thatthe firm nad received and SGiled early 500 orders fer goods on the day previous, MR.

Therefere, I say, 1885 will be better than 1884. Prices are at rock bottom and teey certainly can't get any worse, If there is to be any change it must be for the better. This is true of ail branches of trade. That is the general opinion of those with whom Ihave spoken in tae past few days. The shops, merehants and railroads have no stock on hand, all literally working from hand to mouth, and if any trade springs up they must come into the market. The cotton crop, as 114 knows, is just overwhelming, and the best of it is some of it ig already being picked. We are now arrang- ing our two boats in preparation for it, and in a few mouths the immense crop ought to be marketed.” How about the corn crop?" “Yes; that is good also, but it will affect us most next year, as it takes longer to ship it and get it started to market than cot on. For that reason I am laying the most stress os the superiority of the cot- ton crop." MR. . H. FILLEY, of tree Excelsior Manufacturing Company, said that the reports of their traveling men showed that in lowa they are just com- mencing to buy. The Nerth is not, to any extent, desirous of reaching out to get bargains, wits probably a slight improvement noticeable from Northern IItnois.

But in the South it is radically different.

The power of the earth this year down there seems wonderful. A retired Southern capitalist 8: ‘Throw a seed down anywhere in the soil and it will grow up. The crops are, indeed, enormous.

It will be good in Southern Kansas, but there is not such a good outlook in the West. The corn orep is far more important to us than the wheat in the West.

The New York World’s Bartholdi Statue Pedestal Fund. A Great Task Successfully Accom- plished—Contributions Amounting to $102,006 30 Collected—History of the Undertaking—An Army of Patriots. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Tonk. August 11—.The Wortp to-day com- pleted the sum for the Bartholdi Pedestal, the total amount received being $102,006 39. Reviewing the history of the undertaking it says: “The Worip may be said to have been closely identified with an effort to raise money to complete the pedestal for the Status of Liberty since the change of proprie- torship in May, 188%. This change was announced May 11, and on the 14th an appeal was made for funds wit® which work might be resumed on the pedestal, but the Won at that time was a very different paper from what it was two years later. It had less than 20,000 daily circulation and had not yet gained the confidence of even that limited con- stituency. There were some feeble responses, but it soon became apparent that it was not destined that the money should be raised in that way. Less than $100 was received during three or four weeks. The effort was maintained. The Wor.p, however, aid not cease to call attention to the shameful spectacle presented by the people ef the United States in their neglect ef the gift of France. Hardy a month passed that there did not appear an edit ial on this subject. This educated and aroused ths constantly widening circle of the Wortp's readers, so they were prepared for the work of raising the fund when it BEGAN IN ACTUAL EARNEST. From time to time small sums were sent in to the WoOkLD, and soon after the national election of 1884 the late Andrew J. Dam, proprietor of the Union Square Hotel, sent his check for $50. Including this, the whole amount contributed through the Won up to that time was $242. Very little more was said till last March. At that time no work was being done on the esta}; operations had been sus ed the autumn previous for lack of funds. The committee had exhausted every en- dea vor to raise mo ey by the methods adopted by them in the beginning. They had gone to Congress and asked for 3100 000 and were made to believe up to the very hour of adjournment that their prayer would be granted, but at ths last moment the item was struck from the appropriation bill. An address was prepared by Wm. M. Evarts, chairman of the committee, and published in al the pa In t address the humiliating confession was made that it was the intention of the Frenck to send the Statue of Liberty over to America sume time during the summer of 1886, and that, unless money was raised for the resump- tion of work, it would have to be returned. It was at this juncture that the Womo determined to make one last effort to make good, thro 2 used. Pu- first pedesial, done, money the committee bad raised and expended and how much was yet needed.

Mathews, chairman, $232 60, a surplus they had on hand and which they gave, with the hope the Won would fellow it up with active measures. The acknowledgmentjof this do- nation was made on the same day that the 2 just twenty-ene weeks or $100,000 was made under many unfavorable circumstances. The foremost of these was the feel of indifference and positive aversion towa the stau ue that bad been created by the failure of the American Committee to raise necessary funds and Congress to come to their aid. The prevaiiing sentiment was that if it was to be erected at all it would be through the gifts of one or more rich citi- zens of New York. There was A UNIVERSAL COMPLAINT OF HARD TIMES, and there was a disposition on the part of every- body, as there is yet, to curtail every ex- Possible.

A quicker or more positive revolu- tion in public sentiment was never accemplished. On Saturday, May 16, the fund reached $51, and on the 19th following the Worup turned over to the committee THE SECOND oF $25,000. Thus in two months we kad done one-half the work. We hoped to have the third $25,000 by the time ot the reception of the French ship re, bearing the statue. She arrived on the 17th of June and was publicly received on the 19th. On the morniag of the recepiion the WoRLD announced $74,183 , nien was a little less than $1,000 short of the amount hoped for, but morning following, June 20, wereported We had collected about $80,000 in a little over three months. On the 4th of July we announced 300, 300, having collected nearly $10,000 in ten days. Tuis was the most prosperous Ulme ot the fund. Some time before the arrival of the Isere, a citizen of Boston, who deci:ned to give his name, notified the WoORLD that he would be one of 100 citizens to give each to make up the last $25,000 of the $100,000. ‘his was the beginning of what was afterwards named, ‘The list of One Hundred.’ It was our belief that we could secure $75,000 by popular sub- scription by the time the Isere should be received. How near we by the figures to. The sug- gestion of raising $25,000 by finding 100 citizens who w give $250 each was opted, with a hope that the entire $100,000 could be secured sim- ultaneously with tme arrival of thelsere. Only forty-one names, however, were secured for ‘the list of one hundred’ up to the time set for its com- pietion, and as the receipts from the general public increased rather than diminished, as we could not, in good faith, continue to raise money by two laos, the list ot one hundred’ was abandoned, t we are * to — that twenty-seven suoscrib- ers to that list turned in $250 each to the general fund. There have been many large sums raised by general subscription in the United States, some of them much larger (han the one completed to-day, but never before has a singie agency, news- paper or anything else, raised so large a sum from 80 many people in such short a tirae. BISTOXY OF OTHER POPULAR FUNDS. “The fund for the ouiiding of the Bunker Hill Monument was raised by subscription and it toon eighteen years to collect $150,000; it took five years to raise $200,000 by popular subscription to pur- chase Mt. Vernon, the home of Washington. Some . was raised as a gift to Gen. Grant, but it was all given by afewrich men, It was by no means a popular subscription. In St. Louis the Post-Disparca ren- dered very valuabie service, sending in altogether about $1,600 through its efforts. ‘be fund aitracted wide attention in that city, aud assumed much of the popular character it did in New York. No other paper in the country rendered such material assistance to the Womo as the Post-DispaTou. The fact that we received less than $50 from either Cincinnati or Chicago and $1,600 from St. Louis, tells the story of the services rendered by the Post- Drspatcou. It may be interesting te know that our subscription has been running just 147 days. This is equal to twenty-one weeks, or four months and tweuty-seven days. The average receipts per day have been about 22 per wees about $4,900, and per month about 3,800.“ THE WORLD ON ITS GREAT TASK. The editorial in ne WORLD on the completion of the pedestal fund, says: It is with unfeigned pride and genuine pleasure tnat the Wonko to-day announces to its readers and the American people that the task which it undertook a little less than five months azo—to raise $100,000 to complete the Statue of Liberty pedestal—is finished. Ine money has all been furnisued. Thanks to the people themse: ves. The successful completion of t memorial wore for which it is intended is guaranteed, and the WorRLD, in announcing the good things, may be permitted a few words with regard to this subscrip- tion. The conditions of success atthe time that this work was begun by the Wont were not prom- ising. The American committee which nad the task in hand had failed to arouse public attention, and it had made a final appeal to Congress, which adjourned without making an appropriation. The work was at a standstill, money had ceased to come in and $100,000 was wanted. It was on the 16th of March, and after the American committee had published a rather pathetic aduress to the people, in which it was acknowledged that the statue would have to be returned to France unless the money was raised to comp ete it, that the WoRLD made its appeal to the country, and set about the work of awakening the public mind te the magnitude of thescheme. General apathy prevailed in regard to it; money was scarce. There was a disposition on oe pert of the press to treat the project as cuimerical and im bie. he rich men of the country— with a few notable exceptions—held themselves aloof. In spite of ali this, the Womit went to the people themse ves, with a sufficient faith in their abiding loyalty and publicspirit. The result bas justified our faith. In jess than five months the mouey has all been raised Over 120,000 contributors came voluntarily as soon. as they undersiood the plan. and the columns of this paper have made record from day to day of THE MOST MAGNIFICENT SUBSCRIPTION ever given to a worthy object. Larger sums have been raised in cases of pubdiic disaster and famine, but in no case was there ever aggregated such a sum so directly and willingly from (ne great mass of the people, who can least afford it. It is this feature the of work—now that the work is over—that we dweil upon with pleasure. Only those who have bad the handiing of the tens of — of letters that have poured into this office for five months can know bow literally this was a popular subscription and how cheerfully it was seut from ev corner of the land where savings of the poor. It was the love of liberty that brought in the pennies from the children’s little banks. It was tue shop girl, the mechanic, the farmer and che laborer who cheerfully gave what they could, and many of the letters that melosed the Tittie contri- butions were rich with the givers’ desire te do more. We have received pennies from the homes where Poverty sits beside the searthstone, and nickels from children from the street. Ihe ma;z- of this now compiet- here in the hearts people, which turned tively to the idea of liberty, and responded promptly to the call that involved nationai honor. The statue itself gains an inestimavle value from this fact. It is not only an idea! of liberty, but an attestation of liberty in every stone. Not a block in the massive pile beneath but represents the patriotism of men and women, and some far and near com- munity of the Union. It bas been demonstrated anew that when nations would execute they must go to the people for there, abiding 2 in hearts of toiling millions, is that faith, no less than that self-sacrifice, which makes repub- lics possible. The mere work of collecting this money bas had, we believe, A STIMULATIVE INFLUENCE. It has brought oace more before the eyes and minds those mental principies which our fathers fougnt to establish and we now labor to commemorate. It put liberty anew on all lips asd made the historic a.liance of two great races in the cause of freedom a fresh natio theme. The people have done their one well.

CM, ILL, August 11.—Ex-Secretary Teller in an interview here, to-day, denies that leases to cat- tlemen as first granted by the Cheyenne and Arrap- ahoe trives in 1883, had ever been sanctioved or recognized by bim as Secretary of the Interior. He says that he specificaliy stated at the time, and incorporated the statement in his reports of 1888-4, that the Government reserved the right to interfere with the cattlemen and remove them whenever it became necessary, either of its own notion or from the complaints of the Indians. In this connection, he announced to the cattlemen thatif such occu- pation proved agreeable to the Indians, the Govern- ment would not interfere with the essions. Senator Teller is of the opinion that much good had been done the Indians dy meeting the cattlemen. The former were taught how to herd cattle, and in other ways were made familiar with actual busi- Less. What the Proclamation Means. “The proclamation issued by the President order- ing the removal of all wire fences from the public domain.“ said Maj. C. C. Rainwater, applies only to Government iands that are open to settlement, and hasno application in the Indian Territory, as as there is no land of that kind there. It has no application to No Man's Land, the neutral strip sixty miles wide lying between Kansas and Colo- rado, nor to Texas, where the State Government owns all the land. Neither can it apply to Grier County, Texas, lying between the north and south forks of the Red River, an area 60x120 miles that is in dispute, Texas — that this strip is part of the cession made by the Federal Government, and the Federal Government ciaimi that it is not art of such cession. The po nt in dispute is, which s the Red River, the north or south fork? All these lands are occupied by cattlemen, but as the are not publiclands in the sense here implied. tue prociamation does not reach them. It applies to Government lands in New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Dakotah and all through the West on which cattiemen have established ranges. I do not know the extent of these lands or just where they are located, but they can be found in all parts of the western country.” MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

The Belcher Sugar Refinery Will Be Bought by Bondholders, — aoa And One Million Dollars of Stock Will Go A-Glimmering—The Losers—How the Beloher Company Oame to Grief. One week from to-day the property of the Belcher Sugar Refining Company will be sold under the hammer to satisfy a mortgage made to secure an issue of $750,000 bonds. The Belcher works have been shut down ever since Octo- ber last, during which time neither bond nor stockholders have made any effort to reorganize the company. The result is that in all probability both bond and steckhoiders will lose heavily, and, in fact, the stockholders will probaoly get nothing out of the wreck. The Belcher Com- pany is capitalized for $1,000,000. Until two years ago its stock was considered a sure investment. Its last dividend, 6 per cent, was paid in December, 1881, but in spite of the fact that no dividend was paid in 188% or 1883 great confidence was felt in thé company. About two years since new Belcher refinery on Ashley aod Main streets was completed. It was a magnificent building, one of the refin- eries in the bly the finest manufacturing establishment in St. Louis. Its erection was the ruin of the Belcher Company. At the time that the plans were drawn and contracts let the sugar trade was flourishing. — = women A was 2 232 the pane root ndustry of Euro 80 yzed cane t with Sor 0 8 on hand and reaching ar ahead almost every refinery in the United States lost money. The Belcher Company was hit harder than any Other. It bad contracts for sugar with Spreckels of Honolulu on which it lost thousands of dollars. Then it had locked up $958,000 in its new cencern which was put in operation in Febru- ary. THE NEW REFINERY continued in operation, working at a steady loss until October. Meanwhile it became evident that some way must be devised to raise money or the works would have to shut down. The concern was bonded for $750,000, all of the bonds being held by the directors of the company, who had vanced money on them. At the time of their issue it was found that only $600,000 of them could be sold, and it was determined to hold them until all could be placed. Meantime the directors were called on to advance money on them and eventually, the interest on notes to take out world and not bt. directors of the pro a Pp y to continue the works in operation. The stockholders, accord- ing to this scheme, were to put up notes to represent forty per cent of their hold nge ($400,000 in the aggregate) these notes to be used as collateral by tne directors of the compauy in raising a sufficient amount of money to put the establishment on iis feet again. This scheme was ag to by most of the stockholders, but not enough to make it a success. Then another plan was pro- posed—that each of the stockholders should be assessed 20 per cent, and that the $200,000 thus raised sho used tocarry on the business. This plan fell tarough on account of the refusal of the Ames estate to agree to it. the They were willing to put up notes to the amount of 000 to protect their interest, but when it came to putting up $30,000 cass, they declined to come in. OTHER HOLDERS WERE UNWILLING to put up money to protect the Ames crowd, and so that plan fell through. Then the directors made a proposition to the stockhold- ers. They had as much money inthe concern as they could well afford to put in, They would agree, however, to raisethe money to keep the works going if the stockholders would takes their bonds which were reasonably well se- cured, in other words they would advance without securit could get for their 750,000 secured bonds. subscription list was circulated among the stockholders, with these conditions, but so few of them came to the fre at that this third pian was in turn abandoned and the directors deeming the problem too .difficuit for their solution SAT DOWN AND WAITED FOR rum CRASH.

As bas been announced some time ago imme diately after the Pittsburg regatta, Mr. St. John sent word to Gaudaur to break off all arrangements for the double scull match in which Gaudaur and Teemer were to row Ross and Hamm or mate the early part of next month. The reason assigned for this action wasthe shamefultreatment Gaudaur received at the handsof the regatta managers, as he received but $200 when he should have received $500, and was led to believe by a message from Teemer that all the money was up. It seems, however, that Gaudaur's withdrawal will not cause a post nt of the race,as the following from tae G shows: “McKay to occur next m Mr. Volke also asked McKay if he would be willing, in case of accepting the proposal to double with Teemer, to put in $250 in the stakes, and to make immediate reply by telegraph. McKay,who appears to look upon Mr. Volke's favorably, ex- arding the putting in of $250 — to the — in the after- au agrees ® arrangement t he and Teemer will measure biades with Ross and mate. Volke’s letter to Mo- Kay is regarded as going to show that Gaudar is determined to resent his recent treatment at the regatta held at Pittsburg, where, after winning the professional single scull race, he only got in- stead of 3500 effered as first prize; and that Volke is determined not to be caught napping, and pro- poses to have a suitable mate for Teemer rather than let the match fall through. McKay isin ‘fine feather’ as condition, by reason of his wey pulls ou the Charles during the past fort- night.“ udaur and Hosmer's race with Courtney and Conley is attracting considerable attention, how- ever, and the Worcester Gazette gives some inter- esting inform reg crew. U says: offered by the lake. Tey to occur. Their friends and the friends of Conley and Courtuey are animatediy discussing the proba- ble result of the and both crews have plenty of partisans who are wi to stake hopes and dol- lars on their favorites. This is icularly the case with Mr. St. John, a wealthy citizen and manu- facturer of Louis, Mo.. who is Gaudaur's backer, aud who, it is claimed, will put up any amount that he and his partaer will win in the race. The con- it is the opinion many people that Courtrmey stands at the head, with n, as an Oargman, and that united with Conley, is invincible. Whether this latter theory ia a £8 one or not, tne remains that Gaudaur proved himself to be a faster sculler than any one except his i iate friends had supposed him to be, in the regatta at Pittsburg, Pa. He defeated Teemer with a 2 y “hy ~- effort, passing him, so it is claimed as if latter anchored, and the line at the finish fully five boat lengths in adyance. Thereports of that regatta differ very much as regards detaiis, but it is conceded by nearly all that Gaudaur pushed Teemer for all he was worth; that the latter could have rowed but very little faster, and that Gaudaur could have beaten him more than he did if he had striven as hard as his opponent. “It is the general opinion among sporting men that the two crews who are to rowat‘iroy, August 20, are pretty evenly matched, and that so long as it is a fair and honest contest, it is anybody's race. “Captain O’Leary,who is considered by many peo- le the best local authority on matters of the kind, E confident that Gaudaur and Hosmer will bear off the honors if they can keep in as goed condition as they are now, and row as well together on the day of the race. But little is known here in to the work or condition of either Conley or Courtney. They are located at Lansinburg with their backer, Mr. William Spellman, and are said to be in active training.” Yesterday's Base-Ball Games. At New York, New York 12, Chicago 0.

John L. Sullivan, the “world’s champion,” ap- peared inacheerful mood last evening, says the Boston Globe, when the writer called upon him at his saloon on Washington street. He had evidently just returned froma long walk over suburban roads. His dark brown complexien indicated that he has of late been taking considerable open-air exercise under the hot raysof the sun, and his whole appearance seemed to shew that he had re- covered his old vim. The champion said that he did not wish to say much about the “paper giants” who are constantly ready and able to whip him for gate receipts. When his attention was called to what McCaffrey said in New York about him on Thursday, John L.'s eyes became radiant, and witha wink of his left optic, he said: “I sse McCaffrey gays he would never have en to box or fight me, but for my blowing what 1 would dowith him. Let me sayright here that I have never done any biewing, for I believe the proof of the is the ea of it. McCaffrey blowed in grand siyle until Iwent to face him in Philadelphia.

At any rate, I'll down him to the Queen's taste.“ Tom Delay, who was present and who trained the champion tor several battles in the past, said that John “would do up McCaffrey in a single round. At any rate he felt like betting on it, as Sullivan, after his rest of the four months, was r and stronger than ever. The champion will go into a course ef training ona farm some twelve miles outside of Belfast, Me.,“ and will leave Boston on Monday. The battle is said to be for the gate receipts, the winner to t all and the loser nothing, and will take place at fhe Racing Park, which offers facilities for 50,000 peo- ple. McCaffrey, w interests are in the hands of Billy O’Brien, is being trained by his «ld friend Lunt. Sullivan, it is understoed, will train himself for the coming fight, as the business engagements of Patsey Sheppard, his old mentor, wili not allow the latter's presence away from home during the next month.
