A PLAN SUGGESTED TO GET RID OF THE RECEIVER. ) Proposal to Elect a New Board of Direc- tora to Wind Up the Provident Business Receiver Thompson and His Attorney not Averse to the Arrangement-— Another Petition on the Subject of Wednesday’s Deposits -- Meeting of the Stockholders This Afterloon—Judge Jones’ Absence AiRumor That the Receiver Will Re- sign. No action was taken in court this morning with reference to the proposition for settle- ment with the sureties of the defaulting cash- ier. Underthe rule of the court adopted in this case the petition or motion would have to remain on file three days before a hearing of the matter in order to give all par- ties interested, who are opposed to the propo- sition, an opportunity of filing their objec- tions. Judge Lubke will sit in open court on Wednesday morning, occupying Judge Dil- lon’s bench in Court No. 2, and the Provi- dent Bank affairs will probably he brought up after the motion hour. The proposition does not meet with fa- vor among the majority of the legal element, and there are several attorneys directly con- cerned in the Provident collapse. They will all have something to say at the proper time. It is clear that the _ creditors in the ranks of the Bar are not content with the administration of the assets by a receiver, and will move fora different method of winding op the bank’s affairs. The proposition of an attorney for the stockholders to act in concert and agree upon a committee of trustees to take over the assets and pay the debts, the trustees giving a suitable bond to guarantee payment in full to the depositors, meets with general approval. The Court, under the statutes, could efftertain u proposition of that kind, and upon approval of a bond to protect the creditors could order the reeeiver to turn over the assets and suffer the affairs of the bank to be settied out of Court. The trustees would have to file a guarantee of payment of all allowed claims in regular instailments at regular intervals and the depositors would get their dividends in the game manner as it the estate remained in the hands of a receiver, but the heavy expenses of a receivership and the attendant costs of litigation would be avoided, and it would be to the interest of the stockholders to wind up the business as rap- idly as possible, and as economically aspossi- Iie, with the view of saving something for themselves. The Court would still hold the case open under such an arrangement, and in the event of the failure on the part of the trustees to pay the debts of the institution the Court’s officer could again step in and wind up the concern. On the other hand, if the assets realized promptly in the hands of the trustees and the report was made that all claims had been settied in full, the Court could of its own motion dismiss the proceeding of the peti- tioning stockhoider for a receiver. This method of winding upa bank’s affairs is not without a precedent in St. Louis. The Mercantile Bank and the Guardian Bank passed into the hands ofa board of trustees comp of stockholders who wound up the Dusinem without the sid ofa receiver. The affairs of the Bremen Bank were likewise at onetime taken in hand by acom- inittee of the stockholders, who paid the debts and resumed the Dusiness of the bank, and to-day it is a flourishing institution. The Bremen's troubles were brought about by the cushier, C. D. Affleck, who committed suicide by jumping into the Mississippi. It is supposed that the iist of debtors will disclose the names of several firms whose ac- counts are largely overdrawn and such publi- cation would lead to financial embarrassment and loss of credit in various quarters. Judge Adams, attorney for the receiver, said this morning to a reporter of the Post-DiIs- PATCH: ‘‘I understand that some of the stock- holders will get together this afternoon to con- sider a proposition for taking the affairs out of the hands of a receiver. I have not seen the receiver and do not know what his views may be on the subject, but as an individual I have no hesitation in saying that if the stockholders can agree in this matter and give a bond to guarantee the creditors of the bank it would be the best thing that could happen for the depositors. The receiver is a ‘very busy man, and it would be a relief to him to see the estate wound up quickly and econom- ically forthe best interests of the creditors. He has been actuated by no other desire from the outset. This delay in filing the inventory is unavoidable, and when the matter is explained in court it will be seen that the receiver with his expert knowledge and experience as a banker had the best interests of the creditors at heart ir this matter of apparent delay. There are ma! y things to be considered in spread- ing On the record the names of all the debtors to the bank at this time. THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT was filed thisafternoon in court relative to the payment of Wednesday's deposits, July 14, the day of the collapse: Now comes Smith C. Galt and his answer to the petition of William H. Thompson, receiver of the Provident Bank, filed July 16, prav- ing for an order directing him, the receiver, to restore to forty-one persons deposits made by them on ednesday, July 14, denies each and every allegation of fact in said peti- tion, and avers that he was on the l4th of July, and still is, a creditor of said bank in the sum ot $17,- 339.51 on account of current deposits made by him in said bank. Where- fore he prays the court that said petition may be dismissed and that he have fadgment for his costs in this behalf. SMITH P. GALT, By THos. E. RALSTON. The effect ofthe foregoing motion will be to tie up the deposits of Wednesday, July 14, until the regularterm of court next October, when the matter will be heard and disposed of. MR. HAEUSSLER’'S PLAN. At 3 o'clock this afternoon a meeting of the stockholders of the Provident Savings Bank and their representatives was held at the office of Broadhead & Haeussler. The meeting was called by Mr. H. A. Haeussler who owns $6,000 worth of bank stock and rep- resents an additional $1,500 worth. The object of the meeting is to present a plan to the stockholders to depose the receiver, to se- cure the withdrawal of the suit of Carlos S. Greeley and to elect a new Board of Direc- tors under which the bank will resume busi- ness, and then close regularly, thereby saving the heavy expenses consequent on the delay and litigation. Discussing the proposition Mr. Haeussler said: The plan is very simple; the only thing is as to our ability to carry it out. What we want is to be able to close up the affairs of the bunk without climbing a fence to get an order ot court and submit to all of the court 22 every time there is a dollar on hand to be divided up. We must first prevail upon Mr.Greeley to withdraw his suit or get rid of it in some — by dismissal or otherwise, and then have the appointment of a receiver with- drawn, leaving the bank to close up its own affairs through its Board of Directors. There is already one vacancy in the board made to make the filing of the Greeley suit possible. That can be filled, and then other resignations can fol- low, with new men put in to fill the vacancy until we have an almost entirely new board o good business men whom anybody will trust to wind up the affairs of the bank. They would serve without pay, of course, fur- ther than what they save out of the wreck, and others uid receive the same the work, but it would — — — their own money and that originally paid for the stock, as well as pay 108 t K entire liabilities. That would be the preferable way. It the other course was followed we would still have to pay heavy court expenses and be sub- ject tocourt delays. Then I do not think there would be much trouble in following the first plan. The only thing is that there are a number of the stockholders who are ladies, and a considerable amount of stock is held in trust; it is a question whether they could be induced to or arrange to go into this plan. The strong point in favor of the lan is that when there was a fund of $90,000 on hand. — ee in, a dividend of 10 per cent could be declared without awaiting an order of the Court, whereas now these poor people will not get a dividend until October, and it is difficult to tell when, under slow court ma- chinery, the final dividend will be paid. The failure was generally discussed by the stockholders who attended the meeting. RECEIVER W. H. THOMPSON said to-day: 1 have seen Mr. Haeussler's proposition and would bevery giad to have the gentleman carry out his plans.’’ Are they feasible?’’ es, if he will get gentlemen in whom all the interested parties have complete confi- are and if he will give a satisfactory guar- ee. ‘*Will the suit be withdrawn by Mr. Greeley and others to facilitate this plan?’’ ‘*I, of course, can’t say anything about that. Idon’t know how they regard the mat- ter. Iknow that I would gladly stand aside, if they will take charge of things and pay the depositors dollar for dollar.’’: „How soon will your statement be ready?“ This week. During the fore part of the week?“ No, not until the latter part. We have met with a great many obstacles in the prep- aration of the statement. Ali these things are submitted to the Court asthey comeup. This will only be a partial statement.’’ Have you still confidence in the promise to pay dollar for dollar made before you began work on this statement?’’ es, sir. The bank will pay dollar for dol- lar, if a lot of litigation is not forced on it. If every depositor will rush into court with a suit, the assets will be largely consumed in litigation.’’ *‘Have you any news of Cashier Thomson’s whereabouts?’’ No, none whatever. The bond matter will be decided to-morrow.’’ JUDGE WM. O. JONES left the city Saturday and the report at once gained publicity that his trip had some con- nection with the Provident Bank com- plications. This was probably due to remarks attributed to the Judge concerning Cashier Thomson’s whereabouts. Judge Jones was not at his office to-day. His son and partner stated to- day that he did not know where Judge Jones was, how long he would stay, or when he would return to the city. It was suggestea thatthe Judge might have gone away for a conference with the absconding cashier. Mr. Jones, Jr., said that he did not think his father bad gone off on the business imputed, and thatif Cashier Thomson returned to this city he would most likely be found in jail. WILL THROW UP THE SPONGE. It was rumored in well informed circles this afternoon that Receiver Thompson, disgusted at the opposing attitude of attorneys representing themselves as depositors, and other creditors of the Provident Bank in relation to the proposition for settlement with the sureties of the defaulting cashier, bad determined to throw up the trust and resign at once. The receiver thought the set- tlement proposed was the best method of getting $50,000 of assets promptly, but in the lightof adverse criticism he is by no means anxious to continue in office.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 26.—At the formal meeting of the Saengerfest Executive Com- mittee held yesterday morning, the eighty-three societies participating were each represented by three delegates. There was a general discussion of the affairs of the Saengerbund, after which was considered the selection of the place for holding the next Saenger- fest. When the question was in order a delegate from Chicago in a speech com li- mentary to the St. Louis singers moved that St. Louis be selected as the place of the next meeting. The mo- tion was received with applause. On behalf of St. Louis Mr. Kargau assured the del- egates of the welcome that would await them here if the city was selected. He was followed by other speakers, after which the question was put and unanimously adopted. Long and loud cheers greeted the announcement. The day was devoted to a parade in the fore- noon. A grand picnic was held at National Park, fully 50,000 people being estimated as resent. Two companies of militia—the Light orse Squadron and Company O of the Fourth Battalion—attended in uniform. The estimated expenses of the Saengerfest were $60,000. The receipts were about $50,000. The deficit is covered by a guarantee fund from the local merchants. Belleville News.

GREAT CROWDS GREET SALISBURY ON HIS RETURN TO LONDON. A Slate of the New Cabinet — Lord Ran- dolph Churchill Demands the Foreign Office and Leadership in the Commons Cenflict Between the Young and the Old Tory Elements—The Distress in Labrador —Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 26.—The political surface is un- ruled here, but the depths are tremendously stirred. No public announcement has yet been made, but in Tory Cabinet circles there is a very lively time, the new gang making desperate efforts once more to get rid of the old gang. I have seen the proposed govern- ment drawn up by the former, from which Oross, Smith, Manners, the Duke of Richmond and Lord Harrowby are excluded and such young men, hitherto unknown, or at any rate not prominent as MacLean, Brod- erick, Harris and Jennings are given posts. Chaplin and De Worms will both hold Cabinet positions. Balfour, in any event, is sure ofa Scotch office. Edward Clarke will be Solicitor- General, Gorst having the Home office. It is rumored that the enormous job of dismissing Halsburg from the Lord Chancellorship with a pension of £5,000 a year in order to make room for Sir Richard Webster will be perpetrated, and Hicks Beach, who so long since as 1883 Morley suggested as the man for the post is spoken of as Chief Secretary for Ireland, even if he can be persuaded to go into the House of Lordsfor the vice-royalty. But the most startling news, and I have reason to believe the truest also, concerns the attitude of Churchill. He has returned from Norway and called, by appointment, on Salisbury, and calmly informed him that unless he received the position of Secretary for Foreign Affairs with the leadership in the Commons he should, in his elegant phrase, ‘‘check it all up’’and return to Norway. The excitement this preposterous claim caused in political circles may be imagined. Salisbury’s dim- culties. however, are so great thatit is by no means impossible that Churchill will garry his point. The more serious Conservativés desire to see Lord Cranbrook at the foreign office. My information about Wolseley succeeding Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar as commander of the forces in Ireland, appears to be con- firmed. The young gang nominate Lord Dun- raven as Viceroy, with Stanhope as Chief Sec- retary. England. AN OVATION TO SALISBURY. LONDON, July 26.—The Marquis of Salisbury arrived to-day at noon in London from Os- borne, where he went toreceive the Queen’s commands to form a government. Great crowds assembled at all the chief sta- tions between Portsmouth and London and tendered the new Premier ovations. He declined to address the crowds anywhere. Atthe London station an enormous crowd had assembled to see the Marquis and they cheered him loudly as he alighted from the train. RUSKIN WORSE. John Ruskin’s illness has changed for the worse.

THE STARVING PEOPLE OF LABRADOR. St. Jouns, N. F., July 26.—Further particu- lars of the distress among the fishermen of Labrador have been received. The seventy Esquimaux who demanded food from the stores at Mugford, which could not be given to them, owing to the needs of the inhabitants andthe small supply, made a rush for the harbor storehouse, where the flour and fish were stored. The men of the small settlement defended their only hope of existence, and a desperate fight en- sued in which four of the marauding Esquimaux were nearly killed and two of the storehouse defenders were seriously injured. The Esquimaux finding that they could not obtain food by force retreated and sentin several or their number to ask for asmail quantity of food, which they said was abso- lutely necessary to the continued existence of their wives and children. Two hundred pounds of flour and about fifty pounds of frozen cod were given to them. It was re- ported that in Astoria alone, out of thirty-five or forty families, or a total of 200 persons, over 100 had died, mostly all women and children. In Nain the catch of fish bas not been sufficient to afford food to the inhabi- tants. The season which opened on May 1 was very backward and had it not been for the seal industry, which was tolerably good, nota soul would be living. Along Hamilton Inlet and Sandwich Bay there is not so much suffer- ing, although many have died. In Webuck and Indian Harbors, fish is the only food beside a small quantity of corn meal. They have had no vegetables since March 1, and. the people are almost without clothing. At Hopedale not over twenty-five families remain out of the entire former population. Many have gone East along the coast in the hope of getting into better supplied settlements, while eighty per- sons, of which forty were squaws and thirty- five children, died from starvation in June alone. There were some deaths in April and May, but these were principally from exposure to the cold. The Okkah Indians are suffering greatly but there were not as many deaths among them as was at first reported, only twelve persons having died this spring out of the 12% who make up the tribe. The whole settlement is, how- ever, on the verge of starvation. The places spoken of do not include the whole dis- trict where there is to be found destitution and death. In the country tying back from Okkah, Hopedale, Nain and Cape Mugford there are a large number of families, most of them Indians, or Esquimaux, among whom the suffering is reaily greater than it is in the more thickly popa- lated settlements. The deaths here from starvation cannot be estimated but it is thought, judging from the reports now and then brought in, that the number is ve large. In New Foundland along the Nort coast, there is great destitution. From Cape Bauld to Heart’s Content hundreds are in 3 dying condition. In White Bay alone, forty- two persons died last month, and no one ‘knows how many since. NG iess an 1. ersons must have perished, but t exact Raures can never be known owing to the isolated region in which the suffering exists. South America. PERU'S INDIAN POPULATION.

He had done so last summer, when he was at Sweet Springs. Maj. Rainwater and James Bannerman had come to him and told him that Cleveland’s license was about to expire; that Cleveland and Keyn- olds owed them money and that the change in the tradership would take the business away from St. Louis and 2 it in tne hands of Memphis merchants. e, Ves had written to Commissioner Atkins that his policy of appointing impecunious people to tradership Sue oS Seems When he to Washington he went to see Atkins. He had at that time a letter from C. P. Ellerbee enclos a letter from Jackson to Cleyeland, asking what proposition he desired to make to enter into part- nership. Ellerbee wrote that Jackson was go- ing from one business house to another soticit- ing credit on his license.When Atkins was told these things he said it was an outrage. He knew he ought to revoke Jackson’s use, but he feared if he did 80 Senator Jackson would attribute his action to the influence of Senator Harris, there being a feud between the two Senators. Atkins then promised to license Cleveland or Reynolds with Jackson. He (Vest) leit and wrote Mr. Bannerman to this effect. Mean- time, he saw Senator Jackson and showed him Ellerbee's letter. The Senator said that he and Gen. Jackson had arranged te furnish their brother with the necessary capital. The next morning he was astonished to receive a letter from Atkins, saying that he could not license any one with Jackson. He had then written is second letter to Bannerman. He had never said or iintimated at any time or to an one that Mr. Atkins had been guilty of fraud; any one who said he had was guilty of an absolute falsehood. Mr. Vest read 4 let ter from Mr. Bannerman dated Jul 18. Mr. Bannerman writes that he is amazed and shocked atthe publication of Mr. Vest’s letters to him. Cleveland, in whom he had had the greatest confidence, basely betrayed him. In his last interview with him Cleveland had promised that Mr. Vest should not be harassed and an- noyed in the tradership matter. Under the circumstances he would never solicit Vest’s aid for another friend. The Surplus Resolution. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 26.— Gentlemen on the Republican side of the Senate who are interested in the Morrison surplus resolution say thatit will be reported back from the committee substantially as it passed the House. Mr. Allison favors the resolution as it stands, without amendment. He would have stated so long ago, but there seemed to bea desire to force him to a decision, and as Mr. Allison is a gentleman of some determination he refused to be hurried. There were some ; words between him and Senator Beck on Tuesday last as to his failure to be present at the Finance Committee meeting. This is one reason why the subject has not been acted upon in committee as yet. Then Mr. Sherman, at the head of several Republican Senators, would be only too glad to kill the resolution by imdirection, and he is not at all anxious to have it acted upon. A Republican Sena- tor, however, made the prediction to-day that in whatever shape the resolution was re- ported it would pass the Senate as it passed the House, with the $100,000,000 limit. His theory is that a good majority of the Senate believe that the Morrison resolution is better than none, and they think that if the Morrison resolution is amended by the Senate it will die in econferenee. The administra- tion has been doing some heavy work on the Democratic side of the Senote Chamber since it became evident that the resolution would be considered; Mr. Lamur is credited with having wrought a change in the views of two Mississippi Senators, and it is believed that others will, for the sake of the Administration, array themselves against the resolution. The Repub- lican votes it will command, however, should give it a comfortable majority. It is stated by leaders in the House this morn- ing that even should the Senate amend the resolution, as proposed by Mr. Sherman, the amendments will be agreed to by the House. A few days since there was printed in the Loutsville Courfer-Journal an interview with Senator Beck, in which he was represented as saying that at the request of the Administration he would vote to raise the limit in the Morri- son resolution. Mr. Beck said tothe Posr- DISPATCH correspondent this morning that he had never made any such statement. He had said he did not care to hasten consideration because the Administration had asked that the matter be given a full hearing. Mr. Beck said that in the committee to-morrow he should vote forthe Morrison resolution as it came from the House. N The River and Harbor Bill. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcn. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 2%.—The con- ferees on the river and harbor bili had two more conferences on Saturday, making seven conferences in all, and failed to make the slightest advance toward an agree- ment upon any of the points in dispute. It seems that there is no hope of agreement and that the bill is lost. We have another conference,’’ said one of the conferees, ‘‘butlani not certain. There has been no appomtment made. We have not agreed on a single point,’’ he added. „But you will ultimately come to some 32 t. Ih **l am afraid not. ave very little hove of it’’ was the reply.

A SLIGHT HOPE. Indications that To-Morrow Will Be Some- what Cooler. The rainfall to-day was inappreeiable, and it seemed to be a eurse more than anything else, as the weather was oppressively hot before and after the shower. But the indications are that will result satisfactorily to the perspirine sufferers of last night and to-day. The Signal Service reports the barom- eter low all over the eountry and mentions the probability of a ‘slight fall in tem perature to-morrow as soon as the barom- eter begins to rise. The mercury will not fall to zero by any means, but it may eome down a mark or two, which means a great deal these days. According to the Signal Service reading yesterday's greatest heat was 91 dez., five-tenths of a degree below the highest before recorded this summer. The maximum to-day was but 87, but this seemed worse, on account of the mugginess, than tle 9¢ of yesterday. THE STATE CAPITAL. No Commutation for Smith—The Leabo Case— Dram Shop Licenses. By Telegrapar to the Posr-DOisr Aren. JEFFERSON City, Mo., July 26.—Gov. Mar- maduke has practically concluded the exam- ination of all the papers inthe application for commutation of Smith, the aceomplice of Jump who was hanged last Friday, at Gallatin, for the murde> of Gladson. Believing Smith to be guilty he will not interfere with the decision of the court, unless some new evidence of his innocence of the erime is sub- mitted. The Governor will reach a conelusion in the Leabo case about Wednesday Adjutant-General Jamison has, at the re- quest of the G. A. R. Reunion to be heid at Kirksville and the Confederate Reunion at Marshall, tendered the use of two pieces of artillery for each rennion. State Auditor Walker is receiving dram- shop reports from all counties in the State, in compliance with his call upon County Clerks. Quite a number are still outstand- ing. The statement for St. Louis City alone shows that for the yearending July 4, 188, there were licensed 1,680 dram shops,the State taxes on which amounted to $87,606, while the eity collected from this souree for the same time the sum of $763,769, making the total taxes re- ceived in St. Louis on dramshop taxes $851,374. Superintendent Coleman is now engaged in making the apportionment of State school moneys, which amounts to a fraction over 86 cents per capita, or nearly I cents in ex- cess of the apportionment for 1885.

Detective Jansen’s Cross-Examination—Re- porters and Socialists Give Strong Testi- mony, Implicating the Accused in the Haymarket Slaughter—The State to Close Next Saturday. Cm do, July %.—The continuation of the anarchists’ trial this week, it is expected, will | witness several new and startling develop- ments. After a vast quantity ef testimony, similar to that already given by Detective Jansen, from other detectives, who have, for various purposes, been employed to watch the movements of the Chicago dynamiters for the past two years, someof themin the pay of the Citizens’ Association, and others in the service of the National Finkerton Agency, at the instance of foreign Governments, a dozen witnesses will be called to give the substance of the incendiary speeches made by Parsons, Spies and Fielden at the Haymarket on the evening of May 4, preceding the bomb massacre. The prosecution to end its case by next Saturday, alth it may take State’s Attorney Grinnell a little longer to get in all the available evidence, much of which has unexpectedly come to hand since the trial commenced. It was expected at one time that the State would get through by Tuesday or Wednesday, but that is now impossible. The sensational story published in a New York paper Saturday, regarding an alleged in- terview with Ignatz Swobotka in that city, in which Swobotka is madeto confess that he threw the fatal Haymarket bomb, finds no confirmation amongthe authorities here. It is unquestionably a fabrication from begin- ning to end, without the slightest foundation in fact. The opinion ofthose who have had most to do with the Investigation of the case, and with the direction of the efforts that have been put forth to find the real bomb thrower, or to ascertain who he is, has settied down to one or two persons, viz.: The man shot and killed by Officer Madden or Rudolph Schnaubel, a machinist, who has made his es- cape. Circumstances point most clearly to the latter as the arch-conspirator of the Haymarket disaster. JANSEN CROSS-EXAMINED. The full force and meaning of the testimony of the Pinkerton men in the anarchists’ trial will hardly be understood until more of it is put in. There is more of it to come. Detec- tive Jansen is only one of five of Pinkerton’s oldest officers who were put to work early last winter to find out how much the anarchist crowd actually meant by their speeches, and who, in the prosecution of their work, pene- trated the anarchist dens, took part in their most secret conclaves, listened to their instructions to their dupes and replied day by day to Mr. W. A. Pinkerton, their employer. Pink- erton had been employed by a party of the largest property-holders in the city to make the investigation and furnish the information obtained as he gotit. His men were not em- ployed to aceuse or convict anybody. They were instructed to report facts simply as they found them, and their testimony is therefore notopen to the objection which isusuallyurged with force against a detective’s evidence—that it is procured to convict. A. C. Jansen, the detective whose diselos- ures occasioned a sensation Saturday, took the stand this morning first and the cross-ex- amination of the witnesses was resumed hy Mr. Foster, who asked concerning the wit- ness’ version of the conversation which took place between Spies and an aged gentleman on the occasion of the parade, Decoration Day of last year. Spies, looking at the militia, said they would not amount to much in the event ofariot; that half a dozen dynamite bombs would scatter the soldiers in all directions. The witness said he did not know who this man was, Wit ness reported daily to the agency in writing, and the written reports he obtained from the clerk at the agency. The name of L. I. Gage is indorsed on the reports, but the witness does not know Mr. Gaze. Witness said that on May 31, 1885, Fieiden made a speech declaring that the Gov- ernment could be overthrown by force only, and on another occasion Fielden told the witness that force was to be dsed May I, this year. August 19 Parsons was speaking of the street car men’s strike, and said that if Inspector Bonfield was shot the social revoiu- tion would be inaugurated. TO ARMS! TO ARMS! During the cross-examination Jansen said Parsons and Fielden were at the first meeting of the armed section, and he thought Engel also. William A. Pinkerton, Chief of the Nationai Detective Agency, testified that he had employed detectives to ferret out the secret orders of the anarchists, but this was ordered stricken out and Mr. Pinkerton left the stand. Mr. Grinnell read the foliow- ing notice in the Alarm of October 7. 1885: The armed section of thé American Group meets every Monday night at No. 54 West Lake street. W. P. Freeman, a newspaper reporter, said that at the meeting on the Lake front, April 25, persons spoke, saying if the workingmen were driven to starvation they would unfurl the banner of liberty and fraternity and sweep everything before them and pointed tothe red flag as he spoke. He urged his hearers to take up arms. Spies spokein German. Fielden said workingmen could only enjoy the iruits of their labor by force. e witness was at the Hay market. e saw Parsons onthe wagon who frequently cried ‘*To arms“ in his ech. Fielden dis- cussed legistation and said it was useless to attempt anything by legislation; force was the only recourse left. Witness saw Parsons, | Spies and Fielden on the wagon, and he also thought he saw Schwab. When the police came up he heard the police give the command to the crowd to disperse, which was followed by the ex- losion and the fir®ig. The witness crouched ehind the wagon until the firing ceased. On the cross-examination the witness said he did not hear the remark attributed to Fiel- den, ‘‘We are peaceabie.’*’ Freeman did not see Fielden have a re- votver. Soon after Parsons quit speaking witness saw him go toward Zeff’s Hall. Joseph Greunhut, City Tenement Inspector, was called and testified that he was — when Spies told a reporter w the ranks 0 the police could be decimated by d 4 ft amite, Witness was in the Arbeiter Pei ** Leitun 0 0 the afternoon ot M 3° — saw — prepare the Revenge“ circular. is witness trembled violeutly during his ex- amination.

Perhaps two more different men never met than Lord Dufferin and the Maharajah during the Viceroy’s tour in India last autumn. More than one characteristic story is current of the somewhat amusing collision between the perfect good breeding and easy dignity of the Viceroy, and the plain, old-fash- ioned Deceanee simplicity and almost boorish directness of the Maharajah of Indore. ‘‘I suppose,” said his Highness on one occasion to the Governor-General, that you mean to annex Burmah.” This was ata moment when the plans of the Government at home and at Calcutta were by no means settled, and the qnes- tion was 1 as well as brusque; but Lord Dufferin smiling'y replied: There is nothing [ am so anxious at this present time to annex as the good will and friendship of your Highness.”’ At a subsequent interview, when the Viceroy and his outspoken host were sitting together in the guest chamber at Indore, the latter turned round to ask Mr Mackenzie Wallace for a photograph which he wished to show the Prince. Is that your photographer?“ asked Tukaji Rao, pointing rather discourteously to the Private Secretary. It was necessary to reprove such want of Tr for a high and accomplished officer of Government, but yet not desirable to vex the ruler of Indore, and the Viceroy’s reply reconciled these conditions very admirably. “Oh, no, Highness,’’ he said; this gentleman is the keeper of my conscience. My photographer-in-ordinary is Lady Duff- erin,” her Excellency being, indeed, em- inently skillful with the camera. — — About the Chinese Language. From the St. Nicholas. Chinese is a queer language. All its words are only one syllable long. But the sounds in the Chinese language are not very many, some 466 at most. and their written language contains about 80,000 pictures, each picture representing a thing or idea. And these pictures must be committed to memory. This is hard work, and not even the wisest Chinese professor can learn them all. But now comes a difficulty; for,.of course, where there are so many words and so few sounds. many different words will have to be called by the same sound. How, then, are they to tell. when several different things have exactly the same name, which of them is meant? We have such words. For instance, there is Bill, the name of a boy; and bill, the beak of a bird; there is bill, an old weapon, and bill a piece of money: thereis bill, an article over which the Legislatures debate, and bill, a claim for the payment of money; besides bills of exchange, bills of lading, and so forth. But Chinese is full of such words of a single syllable, yen, for in- stance, which, like bill, means many different things. So they chose a number of little pictures, and agreed that the should be used as ‘‘keys.” Each “key” meant that the sign or signs near which it stood belonged to some general set of things, like things of the vegetable, min- eral or animal kingdom, forests, mines or seas, air, or of water, or of persons, like godsormen. It was like the game called throwing light, in which you guess the article by narrowing down the field until certain what it is. But there Chinese writing stopped short thousands of years ago. There itis to-day. There are now of these kes,“ and, by intense ap- plication, Chinamen learn to use their method with surprising quickness and success, A Cowbey’s Revenge. From the Las Vegas (New Mexico) Optic. _ Clay Allison, the cowman, who has just left this city for Lincoln County, is known asa holy terror when he is aroùsed. and although increasing years and differ- ent conditions have made him less vin- dictive, he still has a decided fondness-for getting even with his enemies. Clay was u P in Cheyenne a few days ago with his bunch of steers,“ about 1,500 in number, Which he sold at a good profit, and as he was suffering with toothache while there, he went to a dentist to get relief. Thedentist sized up the man as a cowman with plenty of cash, and determined to make some money out of him; so, instead of applying a little creosote to Clay’s aching tooth, he got himin his dental chair and proceeded to bore a hole in one of the cowman’s best teeth for the purpose of filling it, which it didn’t in the least need. Hewasa clums quack, and broke about half the tooth off. another dentist who repaired the damage at the expense of #25. Mr. Alltson, who fairly thirsted for revenge, got it, too. He pro- ceeded to the quack’s office, seized a pair of his forceps, threw him down upon the floor, and, in spite of the yells of the vic- tim, inserted the instrument in his mouth and drew out one of his molars. Not’ content with this he grabbed for another, and caught one of the front teeth, together with a large piece of the u lip, and Led ahriek an away at it when the agonized shrieks yells of the pressing his knee, drew a crowd and ended the matter. ‘ Journalism in Japan.

V. ladies if they are prepared to uphold the Senate in its fight on tea and coffee. 17 n Ir Senator INGALLS tells the truth when he says that he received a good education it is sad to think how much he has for- gotten. — — . Tue vindication of Senator PAYNE should encourage Surveyor LANCASTER to ask for an investigation, but our Survey- oris a timid man. . Sr. Louis gets the next Saengerfest and St. Louis will do justice to the occasion. St. Louis is daily gaining recognition as the central city of the universe. — . — — SENATOR VANCE continues to talk against oivli-service reform, but the reform ele- ment of the Democratic party is upheld by two sturdy pillars, GROVER CLEVE- LAND and Dick LANCASTER. ee. i.e c THE telegraphic sensation about Bou- LANGER’s supposed design of plunging his country into war has all the signs of a hot weathercanard. It is premature seriously to discuss such a rumor in advance of any evidence to support it. — — — . — —-— Chaco, an Apache Chief, now in Wash- ington, has been identified as the mur- derer of Judge McComas, and itis pro- posed to detain and try him for the mur- der. If alittle thing of this sort disqual- ifies an Apache Indian for the position of @ messenger to Washington, it is not probable that the tribe can furnish a sin- gle man who is competent for the work. A GLOBE-DEMOCRAT reporter who acci- dentally wandered as far as East St. Louis -was told by “a well-informed Republi- can“ that BILL MORRISON would be re- nominated for Congress in his present district, and he immediately put the in- formation into the paper without waiting to have it confirmed. The rashness of the American editor exceeds that of the aver - age weather prophet. — — . — Tne Connecticut Kuklux who hanged the murderer of MaTTIE RANDALL showed rather a craven spirit in attempting to make it appear that the man had com- mitted suicide. One cannot condemn the summary taking off of such a brutal mur- derer; but the use of bloodhounds in tracking him was painfully suggestive of some things connected with the early days of New England slavery. eee PaRSON Downs has undertaken to make himself solid with his congregation by ex- pelling sixty-seven members who are op- posed to him. In pursuance of this Bis- marckian policy he may have to expel four-fifths of the members before he be- comes firmly established in his position. It is proposed to pursue a similar course in order to secure harmony among the St. Louis Republicans. It would be a bad business to expel the regularity of the party in expelling a certain unmanageable element. it has been ascertained that many voters in England are privileged to cast several votes at the same election. In view of this fact it may be proper to re- gard the ‘‘repeating’’ sometimes done at St. Louis elections as a peculiar form of Anglomania. But criminal statutes have no respect for English fashions, and prompt punishment should follow ali vio- lations of election laws. When an Anglo- maniac repeater is convicted, it may afford him some solace to reflect that in England, too, they have prisons for the punishment of criminals, and that he is still in the line of distinguished prece- dents. | THE sundry civil bill appropriates $56, - 500 for the expenses of the inauguration of the Bartholdi statue. Of course a large part of this is to be expended for the entertainmentof foreign guests. When the bill came up in the Senate the follew- ing amendment was offered by Senator Bram: Provided, however, that no part ot the sum herein appropriated shall be **used to procure, or pay fer, spirituous *‘liquors or tobacco, or stimulants, or *“*narcotics, in any form; nor shall any charge of expenditure for the same be „paid by the United States.” This amend- ment produced a running discussion and vigorous opposition; during which 9 * 2 * [ee 1 ee et gir 8 rate pee 1 1 ** * f 1 1 i ‘ bd Mie Sky Vous P 8 FFP .

The motion to lay the amendment on the table was de- feated by one vote; but it is hardly neces- sary toadd that the Senatorial vote of Missouri was east tin a solid bleck for alcohol. The amendment was agreed to, and, if literally construed, it forbids the expenditure of any part of the $56,500 for tea or coffee for the Bartholdi guests, since these beverages are ‘‘stimulants,” though not intoxicants. THE RIGHT OF ASYLUM. The new extradition provisions awaiting ratification appear to be plain and explicit enough for all practical purposes. The complaint from critics on our side of the Atlantic that the right of asylum is not ‘sufficiently guarded by the exceptions in ‘regard to political offenses rests on no better foundation than the complaint from the English side that those ex- ceptions will be so construed and applied as to prevent the extradition of dyna- miters and bomb-throwers. The treaty does not, in fact, take any note of dynamiters and bomb-throwers, but does provide for the extradition of persons accused of murder, manslaughter and such malicious injuries to property as endanger life. It matters not whether these crimes are committed with explos- ives or other means, the nation harboring the fugitive is bound to surrender him upon the presentation of such proof as would secure his indictment for trial under its own laws. The treaty provides a sufficient guarantee that he shall not be tried or punished for any alleged crime but the charge on which he is surrendered. For his surren- der in any case each nation has to depend on the good faith of the other nation’s Officials. If we surrender any person who ought not to be surrendered under this treaty, it will be the fault of our own of- ficials, and not of the treaty itself, and if we refuse to surrender any person accused of murder, manslaughter or malicious in- jury endangering life, it must be because the proof against him is not such as to justify his indictment under our laws, or is such as to satisfy our government that the accusation is really on account of a political offense. As to what cases may come under the right of asylum for political offenders, the surrendering nation will judge for itself in each case, guided by the proofs and circumstances, the precepts of inter- national law and the most authoritative precedents and usages. Nothing in the old treaty or in the proposed new provi- sions will require our Government to narrow the broad and liberal definition which English usage has given to political offenses. So long as we follow English precedents no genuine political refugee will be denied protection, and England will have no right to complain. Nor does this imply that we will protect thugs who, under the cloak of patriotism or political effort, but without even the excuse of a proposed in- surrection, have made war on innocent women and children. An organized re- bellion claiming belligerent rights, or even a respectable insurrection, would hang its own men for such crimes as some self-styled ‘‘ political offenders’’ are guilty of. — — — — A NEWSPAPER correspondent now doing work in North Carolina observes rather mournfully: ‘‘Judge TOURGEE failed so “sadly in trying toteach North Carolinians ‘‘new ways.” One of the most sensible things done by the North Carolinians since the war was to disregard the ‘‘teachings” of an untruthful and discredited carpet- bagger whose literary misrepresentations, after deriving a fleeting success from the heated passions of the hour, have finally found their just reward in bankruptcy and public contempt. All the Southern States now receive a fair share of Northern immigrants, who are well received and who are pleased with their new homes and new neigh- bors. These settlers are generally people of some means, since the Northern laborer is not yet ready to go South and work alongsideof the negro. But these Northern people do not represent the class to which TouRGEE belongs. The years immediately following the war were the era of the odious and grotesque character that has passed into history as the carpet- bagger, and TOURGEE was the typical carpet-bagger, with more ability than the average specimen. All his writings were based on the fundamental misrepresenta- tion that he was a representative of the desirable and respectable Northern set- tler. His alleged “views” on the sociology and economics of the South rested on the false and misleading inference that the repudiation of a pestilent carpet-bagger signified cold treatment and ostracism for all Northern settlers. At this late day, in the light of positive facts, such a conclusion seems ridiculous; but the time was when TourGEE found listeners and believers. LOGAN, as an open-air orator, is remarkable for his number of sworn statements. Tun Surveyor of St.Louis is a commissioned officer in the anti-investigation brigade.

From an Interview with Edison. * „A soon as I can nnd time to go to Florida 1 am going to make some experiments with earth currents. Icannotdo it here because there is too much mineral in thesoil. In Florida it is allsand. There are currents of electricity passing all the time through the earth; their directions, however, are un- known. I propose to arrange eight currents, radiating in as many directions from acen- tral point. I will place a man at each circuit to test the power of the currents. It is well known that if an earth current crosses a wire at right angles there is but little if any ap- preciable effect made upon it. The greatest power is felt where the wire and currents run in parallel directions. In Boston I have run a wire six hours with the aurora borealis with- out a battery. If Ihad had a rod at that time running from New York to Boston I would have had electric power enough on it to run all the machinery in Boston.’’ After you understand the earth’s currents, what then?’’ Well, a knowledge of them may revolu- tionize telegraphy. It may revolutionize the meteorological bureau system and make it possible to forecast the weather exactly. I have an idea that it may do something still greater, but Ido notcare to talk about it at present. Telegraphic wires sooner or later will be a thing of the past, I believe. They are expensive and cumbersome, and why use them if yougpan make an instrument that will bé sensitive to the natural earth cur- rents?’’ Pre-Eminent Knavery. From the New York WORLD. P Fast freight companies, express business, guaranteeing bonds, purchasing supplies, im- proving land values for private benefit, the wheel-within- Wheel system of contracts gen- erally, in addition tothe great over-capitaliza- tion at the start and subsequent watering, have converted our railroad securities into the un- certain things they are. These can scarcely bc discussed as the operations of over-sanguine but honest men who somehow stumble into the possession of enormous fortunes while the properties which their sagacity is sup- posed to be engaged in properly managing remain enfeebled and are constantly dropping into the hands of receivers. The pre-eminent, vast system of knavery which afflicts our economic system is this railroad management. Custom has given it a semi-respectability, but the time is surely coming when it will be rec- ognized for whatitis, and Legislatures and courts will not dare to bow to it in the light which will prevail. The great and indispensa- ble system of transportation in this country ought to furnish the best and safest of securi- ties, and when the stealing is stopped it will. Poor Nellie Grant. Washington Cor. Indianapolis Journal. Sartoris spends his time in London, caroaus- ing about the cafes and clubs, drinking and making merry with women of little reputa- tion, while his wife remains at an old isolated country-seat year in and year out. Many stories have been told of his shocking treat- ment of her. A gentleman. said,some time ago, that he had seen and heard her begging him to remain at home, simply to abate the scan- dal that was in progress. But no, he would not listen her for an instant, and the next hour off he went withacouple of riotous companions to London. Sartoris has no business; he never attempts any, for the simple reason he has not sufficient brains to conduct a dog case before a justice of the peace. He lives on an allowance of £700 per annum, given him by his, father, with which he takes himseif to London, lives in style for about three or four months, and then returns penitently to his sorrowing wife and proceeds to borrow some more, Then a few months of ‘‘life’’ is repeated atthe gay me- tropolis and the second act is gone over again, and 80 on, year by year. „Rats“ and ‘‘Penuchle,” From the Chicage Herald. In Chicago the cry which harrows up men’s souls is ‘‘Rats!’’ Nothing but a vigorous application of the cinb has sufficed to make the policeman’s lot a happy one. In Balti- more the cry is ‘‘Penuchie!’’ and it is addressed to every man who ventures on the street with a high white hat. Thus do far Western customs make themselves odious in the East. A few years agoa man who chanced to wear a high hat of any description west of the Missouri River was reasonably certain to have it shot off his head by the festive frontiers- man. Failing to give their humor that par- ticular outlet, the people of some Western settlements have been known to fall in line and follow aman who wore a silk bat until he took refuge in his hotel and borrowed a head cover that corresponded more nearly with the community’s idea of style and the fitness of things. The Baltimore cry of »Penuchle““ is iu the same line, though more exasperating, since it is aimed at a fashion which is all but universal. Working a Lead. From the Wall Street News. Afew days ago when a Michigan banker closed his doors against depositors, a woman who had $800 on deposit took a revolver and sailed up to his house. The banker wasn’t at home, but his wife was. She had on à pair of $600 diamonds, and a $200 gold watch, and a couple of bracelets worth $100 apiece. **Shed!’’ observed the woman with the re- volver. e ‘ What?“ I want that jewelry as security for my money, and I’m in a hurry. ' She got it, but ahe had not held it twenty- four hours before it was quietly redeemed and she was asked to keep mum. 5 Edison’s Fame. , From the P hiladeiphia Times.

Sportsmen will be pleased to learn that Da- cey, the pot-hunter, who killed a Chicago Al- derman before the law was off, bas been hanged. These fellows must be taught that the law against shooting out of season will be enforced. By the way, from reading the Ohi- cago papers in regard to the boodle Aldermen one would think the law was off on that kind of game, and that Aldermen enough fora mess could be secured and no questions asked.

WOMEN OF THE WORLD. THE wife of the late William E. Forster has received $400,000 from her husband’s estate. SARAH BERNHARDT, after her engagement at Rio Janeiro and Montevideo, will go to Valpa- raiso. THE Queen of Holland has invited Mme. Marie Roze-Mapieson and her husband to be her guests next month. Mrs. GEN. MCCLELLAN was to have been the guest of the Comte de Paris this summer, but the expulsion of the Prince compelled her to change her plans. THE correspondents are praising Mrs. Cleve- land's manner of shaking hands. This is ptobably the reason why she has obtained such a grip on Washington society. Mrs. CLEVELAND prefers the society of old men to that of young ones. Senator Sawyer of Wisconsin and Representative Curtin of Pennsylvania are said to be her favorites.

The large force of clerks who reported for duty this morning at the retail department of the Simmons Hardware Company, Ninth and Washington avenue, were pressed into serv- ice as wreckers, and put to work in the ruins of the western end of the establishment, } which collapsed shortly after 9 o’clock last night.

He returned to the en- trance of the offices of the wholesale department at the corner of Ninth street and Washington avenue at ten minutes past 9 o’clock when he heard a premonitory crack, followed by a succession of crashes which shook the adjacent buildings and startied the neighborhood. At Ninth street and Christy avenue, where anumberof peo- — were in attendance at the College Church, he shock was terribly distinct. The roof and six floors of the front portion of the western building on the south side of Washington ave- nue, between Ninth and Tenth streets, used by the Simmons Company as a retail department had fallen into the basement of the building. From the doors and windows of the first floor a torrent ofshovels, coal hods, baby carriages, clothes baskets, sleighs, ice saws and toys tumbled out across the sidewalk and roadway of Washington avenue, while a cascade of fish, baskets, rods, bicycle fittings, household articles of utility and ornament fell from the upper casemente and lost itself in the mass of debris below. With each snccessive crash a cloud of dust and lime rose en- veloping the buildihg. An alarm of fire was turned on from box No. 46, which brought the Fire Department and — 2 Corps to the scene with immense additions to the crowd of spectators already attracted by the crash. Nosignsoffire were discovered, but it was soon found necessary to cut off the — ly ot gas which flowed into the wrecked building from the pipes that had been SNAPPED IN THE COLLAPSE. The cut-offs were discovered with difficulty. This danger removed, nothing remained for the Fire Department to do, and the engines according! retired. By this time the dust ha cleared away and an investigation was made by the Salvage x ‘ Profile of the Front Wall. Corps and the force of the Chemical engine, aided by the calcium lights. It was found that the floors and roof, the full width of the build- ing and extending back about 60 feet towards St. Charles street, had fallen to the basement. The building is owned by Mr. Thos. E. Tutt of the Third National Bank, and was erected three years ago, rr the western haif of the block bounded Ninth, Tenth, St. Charles streets and Washington avenue. The western portion of the Dbuild- ing, a six-story red brick structure, is occupied by the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Company. —— under the same roof the eastern portion ofthe building is com- — cut off from the portion occupied by lamilton, Brown & Co. bya fire wall, and is annexed to the retail department of the Sim- mons Hardware Store. e full extent of the damage was not known until this morning. All the stock of the front portion of the store was heaped in an inextricable pile while the rear portion of the building was undisturbed. The wrecked portion looked like a shaft into which the debris bad been thrown. The rs and joists were taken completely from their rests in the walls. Between the first floor and the top of the walls in the front portion of the building not a trace of a support attached to y * the three walls, Atthe fourth floor the front wall bulged out fully a foot.

POST-DISPATCH. 1 July 26.—The monot- ony of watching for the Galatea was relieved to-day by afine race between the Mayflower and the America and the new schooner, sachem. The wind during the early morning was very light from the South,and the sea was flat and glistening. At 10:15 the three yachts got under way, the Americaleading. They were under working canvas, with everything set to jib-topsails, On the start there was hardly wind enough to fill their sails. star- The yachts filled away on the board tack out to Half-way Rock, the America and Mayflower going to windward of the rock, while the Sachem fell off to lecward. The America hove to outside for the others, and the Mayflower ran down to meet the Sachem, taking first position as the yachts came about on the port tack, and stood for Harding’s Ledge. The America followed the Mayflower, both yachts l SAILING CLOSE JAMMED on the wind. The Sachem eased her sheets and went off toleewardat a great pace. It seemed to be nip and tuck between her and the America. As seen from the shore the Sachem apparently had a big lead, though the America was to windward, and the comparison could hardly be made between a yacht close to the wind and one with freer sheet. The Sachem did not appear to hold the wind quite as well gs the others. The Mayflower dropped the America slowly and stood in till within about four miles from HMarding’s Ledge, when she changed her course for home, the others fol- lowing her action,the order being, Mayflower, Sacbem and America. After completing about one- half the distance back, the Sachem wore around and squared away for Boston. She was immediately followed by the America, andthe last seen of the schooners they were having a pretty race, the America hugging her rival closely. While on the port tack, Mr. Piaff's schooner Adrienne overhauled the America and passed her, butthe Adrienne took nop in the race. After leaving the others the ayflower cruised off and on the Neck foratime. She came into Marblehead with jib topsail set, and took itin on wearin around the rock. The sail set splendidly an the yacht showed fine speed. She came into the harbor preceded by the Adrienne and DROPPED ANCHOR at5o'’clock on the club-houses. The sails of the Mayflower are coming around all right. The mainsail is very good now, and the fore- sail, since the leach has had battens put into it, is much improved. Of the Galatea one old sailor, who has crossed from England on three different voyages, said thatin the months of June and July, the apt rages 8 winds being west, or west by south, om a point fifteen miles off Cape Clear to the banks of Newfoundland a vessel com- ing to this country must have head winds, necessitating a beat to windward of 2,000 miles. It was not to be wondered at that a yacht under storm rig and canvas would make slow time. It would not be any- thing to call for criticism if she was thirty-five days making the passage. Another sea cap- tain of forty-three voyages said: He has got his wife aboard and he is going siow. If he takesthe southern passage, which isprobable, he may not be spoken to the whole trip. The interest increases as the time wears along. The America beat both the Adrienne and the stranger in a fine run from Boston to this port yesterday. Gen. Butler says he thinks the changes he has made in his pet boat have much improved her. ‘*But,’’ con- tinued the General, ‘‘the bottom of the. America has never been changed since she was built, not even when she was ALTERED BY THE GOVERNMENT and her bottom is as sound as this deck. It may be sounder for there may be some flaws on the deck, but I know there is no unsound timber in her bottom.

I don’t want to race her for money, but I do not want her to lose her reputation while I own her. How- ever I shall not refuse to accept any challenge from ayacht.

York’s Resignation. The resignation of League Umpire Tom York is explained as follows bya New York paper of Saturday: Umpire York made some very close decisions against the New Yorks in the game on the Polo Grounds yes- terday, and was 1 hissed by the specta- tors. After the game he detetmined to re- ticn his position, and he informed Secretary — 4 of his action by teiegraph. I have been badly treated in the West,’ said he, ‘but to be hooted and hissed at in the East is too much. I have often heard that an umpire’s position is a thankless one, but I have never realized it before. It's bad enough to be hissed and called a thief, but in the West when the local elub loses an umpire is fortu- nate if he escapes with his life. Of all the cities in the Léague hansas City is the worst. Un June 29, when the New York men beat the Cowboys 3 to 2, McQuery hit a ball over the fence, but it was a toul by 25 feet and I de- clared itso. After the game Vice-President Mckim of the Kansas City Club wanted to know how much money I would get from the New Yorks tor that decision. I remarked that I received my salary from the League and did not take a penny fromthe New Torks or any other nine. Then he grew furious and said he would end my days. This, in conjunc- tion with other things incidental to the life of an Umpire, has made me tired of the business, andlintend to make room for some other victim.’ Mr. York left tor his home in Baltimore last night. It is thonght that James Gifford, formerly manager of the Metropolitans, will be asked to accept his position. Mr. Gifford is well informed on minute points of the game. Gossip of the Game.

A VALUABLE WAR TROPHY. he Irish Confederate Flag Captured at Fort Donelson. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCII. New York, July 26.—Corcoran Post, G. A. R., met Thursday evening and a committee consisgng of Gen. DeLacy,Andrew J. Fleming, John McCabe, Capt: Donnelly and Maj. Wm. Geo. Hart were appointed to wait upon James Kirker Bagley of this city, son of the late Col. James Bagley, Commander of the Sixty-ninth Regiment after the loss of Gen. Corcoran, to request him to intrust to the custody of the Post an Irish Confederate flag captured at Fort Donelson February 15, 1862. Yesterday the committee called upon Mr. Bagley, and Gen. DeLacy stated the object of their visit. The trophy, he said, would be highly cherished, and a handsome case provided for it. Maj. Hart explained that it was the intention of the Post to hold a large ineeting at the Academy of Music and it was sug- gested thatin view of the — 1 history connected with the flag it would be singuluriy appropriate if Gen. John A. Logan would ac- cept un invitation to receive it on behaif of Corcoran Post. Mr. Bagiey said that he felt the post was the proper custodian ofthe trophy, and that he would be pleased to fall in with any arrangements they might make for its presentation. A special meeting will be called at which the details of the proposed — a meeting will be perfected. This flag is e one ofits description brought north by the fortune of battle. It is a large banner 0 handsome, heavy silk. One side is green, with the Irish wolf dog and sunburst, and ona scroll isthe inscrip- tion, ‘‘Sons of Erin, go where glory waits you.’’ The reverse contains THE ILL-FATED STARS AND BARS of the Confederacy. When the rebel Governor and Legislature of Tennessee joined in the rebellion, every effort was made to enlist all classes of fighting men in the ranks of the Confederate army. A large portion of the population of Nashville were Irishmen and their fidelity to the National Government was for along time unwavering. Special endeav- ors were made to get them into the rebel service. At last it was decided to form a brigade, the so-called Irish Volunteers, and they were oflicered by men of their own nationality. The ladies of Nashville prepared this banner as the regimental flag of the Irish Legion, and September 16, 1861, it was presented, Gov. Harris making the presen- tation speech. This Irish Legion’’ formed part of the garrison at Fort Donelson, and were in Pillow's division, the same that en- deavored to cut its way out of the fort and past the right wing of the Union forces Feb- ruary 15, 1862. The flag was carried in the ad- Vance, and around it was done the fiercest fighting of the day. Three times it was taken and _ recaptured, but finally it fell into the hands of the com- manding General, Logan, then a Colonel in McClernand’s brigade, and was held. The flag subsequently presented to the city of New York by Col. Smith was captured at the same time. Col. Logan and hie men prized the trophy. Col. Logan sentittothe Sixty-ninth Regiment. It was presented May 13, at the armory of the Sixty-ninth, in Essex Market. Maj. James Bagley, then in command, received it and afterward became its custodian. After his death it remained inthe care of his son. Although the flag was in the hottest of the bat- tle, itdoes not bear any other mark of the conflict than that the tassels were shot off.

At 3:30 this morning Officer Richard Griffith was informed that a woman was bleeding to death at Annie Beaumont’s house, No. 611 Spruce street. Arriving there he found Alice Créveling vomiting blood. He immediately | sent for an ambulance, but before it arrived the woman had died. A 222 wagon was then sent for, and instead of the woman being taken to the City Hospital she was taken to the Morgue. She bad been an inmateof the house where she died for some time, but was in the City Hospital for quite awhile lately, leaving there last week, since which time she has been confined to the Beaumont House without medical attendance. Hemorrhage of the lungs is supposed to bethe cause of death. An inquest was held to-day. Broke His Combination.

Connell—The Latter a Chronic Kicker and Growler— Manage- ment of the Expedition—The Shooting of Henry- By Telegraph to the Post-DIsSPaTCH. NEw YORK, July 26.—Sergt. Francis Long, one of the survivors ofthe Greely expedi- tion, who is now attached to the United States Signal office in this city, read the charges of Sergt. Connoll of the expedition against Lieut. Greely, which were printed in the papers yesterday. Long lives at 17 Cook street, Brooklyn, where he told the PosT-DISPATCH reporter along story aboutthe correspon- dent. I don't see why Connell turns on the rest of us, he said, ina tone of regret. „We were all lucky to get back, and it can’t do him any good to = stir up all the trouble over again. There isn’t a word of truth in his stories, that’s the worst of it Here he runs on about what Greeiy ought to do, and what he didn’t do. All of us can look back now and see just how everything ought to have been done 80 as to have saved those poor fellows who died. It’s rough on Brainard to say he didn’t go 80 far north, when he has got great credit for it. It looks like as if Connell was jealous of the rest of us because he didn’t get promotion. That is all there is to it. He was always growl- ing and kicking, and hoe didn’t do just right by the rest of us. Iwouldn’t like to say any- thing about what happened, only he had no reason to complain. He said Greely made him wash the officers’ clothes when we were at Fort Conger, in October, 1881. That isn’t true. It would have been all right if Greely did or- der him to do so. He was only a private like me, and it would not look right to see the commanding officer working overa washtub. The washing had to be done by some one, and Brainard told Greely he would have the pri- vates do it by turns. The first man would be Beiberback, but he was sick; so Connell came first, Frederick next, and I was third. ne CONNELL MADE SUCH A KICK that Sergt. Cross said he would do the wash- ing if he was paid for it. Greely and all the rest were willing, and Cross washed for any- body who wanted and charged lo cents a piece. He made quite alot of money that way, and after he got back the men paid his family $200 or $300 for washing. Connell says he was as- sistant astronomer and knew some of the ob- servations were wrong. Well, if calling off figures when Israel took the observations makes him an assistant then we were ali as- sistant astronomers. We all took a hand at it but Ellis—he couldn't write—and I’m not sure but he called off, too. Connell did not do any copying. Snyder did all the writing that was done, and he was at work on it all the time. He talks about Greely making mistakes in his report on his trip to the westward. Greely made the trip into the interior from Conger, going away April 24, 1382, and getting back about May7; anyway he was gone ten oreleven days. In August Israel went up himself and found the reports correct. Connell could not take observa- tions. He did not know how to do so, and never was trusted. Noneofthe party were with Lockwood and Brainard when they reached the furthest point north. The only thing to do is to take the records, for no one can dispute them. They did not know they had gone higher upthan any one else, un- til Israel told them. The party talked about it, and everybody was proud. Down at Cape Sabine, just before Israel died, he spoke of this a number of times. Once he told me, while he was sick, and when we were all bad off, and did not expect to get through, ‘Well, some of the party went further north than anybody else, any way.’ It did not seem that he was jealous of what they had done. THEY WERE LUCKY, perhaps, but no one ought to say they did not get there. Connell and Lieut. Kislingbury were great friends. This is why he stands up for Kislingbury. Everybody knows the lieu- tenant wanted to come back to the United States, and started to gotothe Proteus. But he ntver left the shore, and it would take half an hour to get downto where she was, so he missed returning by a good deal more than five minutes. Lieut. Greely was in command and was responsible for everything, so he did not have to ask the men what he should do. I had nothing to complain of only once. When we were going up he had the men’s Some inspected, I thought I had been a soldier long enough to know how to keep my clothes, and it was not the right thing to do anyway. That only happened once, for it was not attempted again. Connell and Dr. Pavy were good friends. What he says about the doctor saying that some of the huinan flesh ought to be used for baiting shrimps, I have just heard for the first time. It seems Connell knows more about the can- nibalism thanI do. Inever heard it spoken of and had nothing to do with the shrimping. Brainard attended to that. I was the hunter, and one day when I came back after trying to get food, they told me they had found some meat IN DR. PAVY’S OLD STOCKINGS. That was along in May, before we were res- cued, and we didn’t have anything to eat. Every man who looked at it thought it was bear meat, or said they did. It was cut up and made intoastew.’’ . **Who cut it up?’’ Frederick, I suppose, for he was the cook. I ate some of it like the rest, and I did not hear of any one being unable to keep it on his stomach. I believe human bodies were used, but [don’t know who did it. Connell seems to imply that the other men did it, and that he did not. He appears to know more about it than I do. I was sorry for poor Kislingbury, for he was a very faithful man, and tried to help the otiers. Once I quarreled with him when he wanted to bringin the Esquimaux boat. He was not strong enough. Iwas afraid he wouid get sick, and when the men got down, it made it harder for the rest of us. Connell didn’t talk about the shooting of Henry as he used to talk. Whenthe order was written for him to be shot, Connell said it was the right thing to do. I never had any other idea, and thought it ought to have been done. He stood — in the boat and picked 0 the bacon. Each man was to havea chunk ofabout four ounces, but Henry ate about half of it, so we only got two ounces each. Once we sat down and had some tea. Henry drank a little and then vomited some bacon. No bacon had been issued for a long time and this showed that he had stolen what he bad eaten. We were res- cued June 22, 1884, and Henry was shot on the 6th. Frederick, the cook, caught him that morning stealing shrimps from the men’s plates. He hadthe bestof usall, and was neurly as strong as before we left Fort Conger. I caught him stealing bacon and drinking the rum and spoke, to nim about it and tried to et him to stop. He kept on just the same. rainard, Fredericks and I were detailed to oe Saas oe N loaded with shot n a blank cartridge. which it was, and 1 e WE DON’T KNOW WHO KILLED HIM. Connell talked about it while we were in Ports. mouth Harbor after we came back, and said the shooting was all right. It isn’t right to bring up poor Whistler and talk about his stealing tood. He couldn't help it 1 think. It wouldn't save us much what he took. He was going to the tent, saw the door open, and helped himself, for he was — took it to heart when he thought about taking more than his share. I think it killed him, and Connell knew it as well as I did. So it seems all the worse for his talk about Whistler now * wo rap n leaving us the stores. He ought to have killed his dog and not kept food ‘for him. It is nonsense to k about Greely not dis- tributing the stores right; he did — he thought best. The re- e itions did not carry out their tions and make good the dam food in the English cache. Ifthe stores bad been left on the coast we would not have got it on our retreat. We were bound to come to Sabine any way. If we had found a record there we could have gone back and got the stores. Our pian was to make Littleton fotand, but we could not get down there.’’ „Did Connell ever try to shirk his duty?’’ This query had the effect of making Long n — was reticent about of any o his com é After other questions less —— inte d, rieniag bear was nearl t vata — think that he acted right. 9 tl teers to and all in the bear, See ets kery milk ?

There might have been half a poun of meat that was not used, more than could get out of him was ‘Bear bear!’ He had been to the shrimpi no gun, so he came right The bear followed right along in his track, and the Esquimaux went out with us between 5 and 60’clock. I saw the bear’s tracks two days before and had been hunting forhim. I had hard work to keep the men quiet before start- ing and went off as fast as I could The bear just showed his paw over Cemetery Ridge, and I fired at him. Then be ran as fast as he could. I sentthe Esquimaux one way and I went another, and crawled about ten miles to get around between him and the water. | got within about 1,000 yards of the water and saw him sitting down. We crept up to him and the Esquimaux got the first shot. I ran up within 150 yards and fired three shots, he last lodged in his head and killed him. The bear was then thirty-five yards from the open water, and twelve of this was heavy ice. When I shot I took off my cap and gloves and did the best. I could, for it was our last chance for food, Ithought. Some of the men grum- bled a little because I missed him on the ridge, but there I didn't have a good show. The place where I killed him was three miles in a straight line from oem. andgl finished him at 8: He weighed, I should think, 350 or 400 pounds, and kept us alive untilwe were rescued. : A Terrible Fall in prices of picture-frames, paintings, en- gravings, mirrors, etc.; also goods sold on monthly payments.

DOMESTIC WOOLEN GOODS SUPPLANTING IMPORTATIONS FROM ENGLAND. 1 92 How the Trade Has Increased with the Manufacture of Finer Grades and Choice Patterns—Tailors Fix the Styles — The Best Looms Made in America. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. NEW York, July 26.—This is a busy season with certain merchants down in the dry goods district. It is the time of year when the sam- piles of spring and summer goods for men be- gin to come to town from the mills in Con- necticut and Massachusetts, and are unpacked and displayed on large tables in the salesrooms of the big stores. Mr. J. F. Plum- mer, who talked to Mr. Bowen’s visitors at Woodstock on the Fourth of July about American trade and commerce, told a re- porter the other day something about the trade in American-made woolen goods. ‘‘Fif- teen or twenty yearsago,’’ he said, ‘‘there was no demand worth speaking about for American goods of the finer grades for men’s use. The big manufacturing tailors would not look at the American goods. They said our makes would bag at the knees, lose their color, and in a variety of ways disappoint their purchasers. Customers of the tailors had always believed that English goods were the best, and in that the customer talked by the card at that time. There were Anglomaniacs then as now, and the talk of these Anglomaniacs about the inferiority of American products finally aroused the price of the American manufacturers. We had the wool and the machinery and the tariff to back us. WHY shouldn’t we make just as good goods as were producedin England? There were sev- eral reasons why this had not been done up to that time. One was that the trade was conducted in a very different way from what it is now. The mill used to work away on such patterns as the manager thought would sell well, and when the goods were made they would be sent to market and sold. If the manager happened to hit on taking pat- terns, the goods went off ata profit. If not, the auctioneer did the best he could with them. Now goods are made to order, and the element of uncertainty as tothe sale of goods is eliminated. For the past few months the mills have been at work 0 GETTING UP NEW TATTERNS and weaving samples. Narrow strips of cloth, woven on a sample loom, are sent on to me for instance. Each strip has one ground color, but a large variety of patterns. A brown will be brown throughout, but by varying the arrangement of the yarns or threads as they are woven together we have dark, me- dium and light browns, stripes wide and nar- row, and quiet and glaring; we have checks and plaids, and, in fact, dozensof patterns ona little strip. It is the duty of the New York house representing the mill to select from these patterns such as will be likely to meet the changing taste of the tailors.’’ Ot the tailors?’ ‘*‘Oertainly. The customer may think his taste rules the market, but he buys what he is told is stylish. Each pattern is displayed in about half a yard of goods, and these samples are bunched together in such a way that they will help each other by contrast. The mills spend thousands of dollars every year in making samples. The samples for the spring and summer goods of 1887 have now been made. August Ist is the date for open- ing them for the inspection ofthe trade. The manufacturers of clothing look over the sain- ples, and select such goods as they want and give orders for as many pieces as they can use. Within two weeks after the samples are opened, the mills have booked as many orders as they can fill before the season for winter goods comes on. Being, therefore, practically sure of getting their money for all the make, the mill men can afford to wor on narrower margins than when they made the goods in the hope of getting a market for them. In other words, they can make better goods for the same price per yard. They used to ask how pees a grade of wool they could afford to put intoa piece of goods which they were well assured would sell at a certain price. Now the sole inquiry is how to make the best as well as the most attractive piece of goods. Make the best goods possible and then fix the price at a reasonable margin of profit after the cost of production has been ascertained.’’ Cau they always fix such a price?“ FORTUNES DIVIDED. The mills in this trade divide fortunes every year and are driven to their full capac- ity. One company thut I represent was going to build an immense addition last spring, but they were frightened out by the wave of troudle that rolled across the labor market. They have got to build next year, however.’’ ‘‘Is it not a fact that custom tailors talk up British goods just as much as they ever did?’’ Perhaps; but they don’t back their talk in their purchases. housands of pleces of American goods are retailedevery year as British goods. There is a lot of humbug in the tailor shop. They lay out a lot of goods and say, ‘a suit off this goods for $60; this for ; that for $75.’ If you look as if you wanted something cheaper, a piece will be fou which the tallor will assure you will be in every way as satisfactory as either ot the others, and a suit will cost only $55. If something better is wanted, 44 Will be displayed trom which a suit at $100 will de made, and it will be ‘just what you want.’ The fact is that, in a major- 10 of the shops, there will not be fifty cents difference between the cost per y the foreign in the matter of styles d patterns, but the best expert” in ‘the country whether a piece of cloth is American or British trom an examination.
