PRESIDENT DIAZ’ POSITION IN THE PRES- ENT DELICATE CONTROVERSY. — — The Judge Acting in Good Faith — Cutting Treated Better Than Ordinary Pris- oners — No Apprehensions of Trouble— Ex-Gov. Rice Returns from the City of Mexico and Explains the Situation. An Associated Press dispatch from the City of Mexico gives the following interviews with President Diaz and Minister of the Intetior Romepo Rubio on the Cutting affair: Popular sentiment has been so thoroughly aroused here over the Editor Cutting case and the Press Comments thereon, that the repre- sentative of the Associated Press called to-day at the Castle of Chapultepec, to get the views of President Diaz and Senor Romero Rubio, Minister of the Interior, who is visiting at the castle. The latter said that he was happy to present the facts in the case to the press, and entered at once into a very full review of it from the beginning. He stated Mr. Cutting’s offense, his character and that of Senor Me- dina, and wéntinto an elaborate explanation of Mexico’s right to arrest Mr. Cutting from a legal point of view. MR. CUTTING, SAID THE MINISTER, having been commanded by the Court to make an apology, did so in an EI Paso newspaper, but worded it so as to make it really an insult to the Court. This newspaper, although published in the United States, Cutting knew to be cir- culated in El Paso del Norte, on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, and he took pains to circulate the issue containing the reflections on the Mexican Court in Paso del Norte, crossing the river to this side himself to cir- culate the paper. He was thereupon arrested in proper legal form and put in jail. He was treuted with even more consideration than Mexican criminals. The Minister was asked if he thought the Judge had acted in good faith. He replied: „ do, and tor that very reason the executive power here could not, on ademand from the United States Government, set aside the judicial power. The Government here consid- ered that Cutting had notonly infringed the code of the State of Chihuahua, which makes offenses against its citizens committed on for- eign territory punishable by its courts, but had also committed an offense on this side of the line by retusing, without giving any reason, to recognize the demand of the Judge, using insulting language to that official; and it was clear that the circulating of the statement de! rugatory to the Court on this side of the river ee a clear case of offense against the aw.’ Then it is for these reasons that you have refused to grant an unconditional release?’’ es; the Government here has forwarded avery full report of the case to Washington, where it has been submitted to Congress. esident Diaz then entered the apartment and expressed gratification at meeting a rep- resentative of the Associated Press of the United States, and extended a cordial greet- ing. The President said: ‘‘I presume you have had from Minister Rubio a full explanation of the case und an abstract of the grounds for our action, and I will only say that I have just received a letter from the Chief Justice of the State of Chihuahua giving a resume of the proceedings of the Court, in response to my request. The letter was was then read in full by Senor Romero Rubio. It showed that the State au- thorities of Chihuahua had exercised every care in treating Cutting with consideration, even more, the President thought, than was necessary, for he thought it was sufficient to treat him as he would treat a Mexican citizén imprisoned under the same charges. Do you consider, Mr. President, that the case will lead to trouble?“ „„ have ne apprehenson of difficulties growing out of such an insignificant affair, which is really only a quarrel between disre- putable journalists. I think that the United States Government was a trifle hasty in the matter, owing, probably, to early and inaccurxte and one- sidéd reports. T have no doubt that the full ex- planation already forwarded to the American Congress, an enlightened budy containing many excellent laywers and accomplished statesmen, will lead to a calmer consideration of the matter and that justice will be done.“ The Pregident then went on, at much length, to relate Various cases occurring on the border line of the two republics to show how careful both Governments should be not to act too hastily and on insufficient evidence. ‘‘There are,’’ said the President, ‘‘a class of both Mexicans and Americans on the border who, after getting into trouble with the law, plead their citizenship to shield them from the pun- ishment they deserve.“ THE PRESIDENT ALSO MENTIONED the Capt. Crawford case, where the investiga- tion made by bis good friend, Gen. Shert- dan,’’ always animated by kindly sentiments toward Mexico, proved the shooting was the result of a misunderstanding on the partof several cases in which he had personally gone further than was absolutely necessary in order to avoid having unpleasant differences with the United States Government. The President said he deplored the tone of acertain section of both the American and Mexican press,adding: Our Government is certainly acting in good faith in this matter, being only desirous of having justice done. It is a matter for calm consideration on the part of the two Govern- ments, uninfluenced by the popular clamor.’’ He said it was ridiculous to suppose. as had been charged in some newspapers, that the United States Government was making a pre- text of the Cutting care to enter upon a war, for the United States would not do so without having first got in readiness. The Presidept did not believe that the American people were hostile to Mexico. On the — he had found the best class of Americans in cordial sympathy with the progressive purposes of bis administration. He sincerely hoped that nothing would occur to mar the friendship of two peoples, living under the same form of government, animated by kindly sentiments toward each other. He was glad to be able to present his views on this matter to the Am@i- can people. Dering the entire interview the Mexican statesmen expressed themselves with utmost moderation and good sense. I ee EX-GOV. RICE. The Better Element in Texas Opposed to Hostilities. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. NEW Lokk, August 5.—Ex-Gov. Rice of Massachusetts, who has been visitingin Mex- ico for the last three months, came to New York on Tuesday pight. He spent the greater part of his time in the city of Mexico, but came back by way of El Paso, where he remained several days. According to Mr. Rigg’s state- ments there is anything but an unanimous in- dorsement of the proposed action of our Gov- ernment in the Cutting case among the people of El Paso and Texas generally. No greater mistake could be made, he said yesterday, ‘‘than to suppose that every- body is in favor of war down there. The bet- ter class of people—and by that I mean intelli- ent business men, lawyers, clergy and the kée—are strongly opposed to any hostilities. They consider the case of too trivial a character to cause any serious dis- turbance between this country and Mexico. could not find a lawyer in El Paso who did not think that Mexico was right and we in the wrong. Our Government labors under a mis- apprehension of the facts in the case.’’ ‘*What are the tacts of the case? „Well, according to the statements of the most prominent ci ns of El Paso, such men as Judge Crosby, Col. Barr, Gov. Torres of Sonora, and the Mexican Consul, Mr. Esco- bar, they are these: Cutting was a printer in El Paso. His reputation was not the best possible. He started a r there but failed. Becom- ing a defaulter he crossed the river and started a sheet in Paso del 2 „5 —— * other news r epposition. an- gered Cuttin erry he made a violent editorial attack upon his rival. The articie was 8 — ‘ | on condition of his publishing a retraction in his paper. He did so, but printed this in the smallest type possible and in the most obscure corner ot his sheet. Then he went over to El Paso and got the Herald of that place to publish a card attack- ing the magistrate. This paper is printed in English und Spanish, and circulated almost as much in Mexico as in Texas. Cutting took copies of this paper containing the article against the justice and personally distributed them in Paso del Norte. For this he was ar- rested and is still held. Of course, there isa certain amount of what might be termed popu- lar sympathy with him. Perhaps if a public meeting were called in El Paso to-day the majority would side with him, but that major- Rate 3 — up largely of the lawless nt. ut the sensible part of ti wae M opinion.’ p a Ou think, then, that the! 3 right?’’ — **i think that if the same thing had happene up here—if a citizen of this State — lished acriminal libel against a New Jersey judge—he would be arrested as promptly by any Court that had respect for itself, The Mexican laws are more stringent than ours, I know, but this is necessary in a country where so many of the people are turbulent and ignorant.. It must be remembered, however, that these strict laws have opened up the country for American capital. Brigandage, which flourished so extensively there a few years ago, has been put down en- tirely, and the death penalty which is attached to train wrecking, has broken up that nefari- ous practice most effectively. THE COUNTRY IS PEACEFUL almost throughout. The people are friendly do Americans. Unless in matters of a political or religious character, I have never knownour countrymen to be disc: iminated against in the courts. Our Consul-General in the City of Mexico stated this to me as a fact, and my own experience confirmed it.’’ „How is Mexico advancing at present?“ The Mexican Government is doing as well as could be expected of it under the circum- stances. Gen. Diaz had great difficulties to contend with when he assumed office, but he has succeeded admirably, so far, in his efforts to place the country, on a sound financial basis. The national debt has been consoli- dated, and he is now trying to equalize tax- ation by taking the duties off the necessaries of life and taxing more heavily the big estates. The country was never better ruled than now. Foreigners are weil pro- tected now. A few years axo inis sionaries used to be subjected occasionally to rough usage in the interior, but they told me that they are no longerannoyed. The City of Mexico is a good example of the progress that has been made of late years. All ‘pulque’ shops, the drinking resorts, are closed at 6 P. ul., and perfect order is maintained in every section. The people are easy-going, but courteous, The rejection of the reciprocity treaty was treated ina dignified way, — 1 the circumstance was calculated to arouse re- sentment. I think it weuld be a grievous mistake for us to enter into a conflict with such a people just for the purpose of enabling ne Bayard to make a little cheap repu- tation. Mexico is much weaker tifan we, but we ought to be sure that we are right before we go to war with her or anyone else. KILLED HER ASSAILANT. The Mysterious Tragedy Cleared Up by a Brooklyn Policeman. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren NEW YORK, August 5.—What was a very mysterious murder and looked as though its perpetrator would never be discovered has at last been cleared up through the excellent detective work of Sergt. Kitzer of the Sixth Brooklyn police precinct. Frank Pfister, a youth, entered Hartmann’s saloon at the cor- ner of Graham avenue and Stagg street, Brook- lyn, July 25 and stole $12 from the money drawer. Hartmann detected him and young Pfister ran out of the place. A companion of his returned to the saloon and gave Hartmann , which he said wus all that had been stolen. Later in the day Pfistey’s elder brother entered the saloon and was told whatthe boy haddone. Ashe was about to be married, he felt the disgrace very keenly and banded Hartmann $3, begging him not to prosecute the brother. At that mo- ment Frank entered and his brother slapped him and attempted to kick him. Frank ran out and was not seen again until his body was found in a swill-wazon at the head of Scholes street the next morning. The brother was arrested, and has since been held, bail being refused, although no one be- lieved he wasguilty, as he gave a good account of his whereabouts forthat night. The police were mystified, and every effort was made to find the guilty party. Sergt. Kitzer recently heard that a 15-year-old girl, the daughter of oid friends of his, knew something of the cause of his death. Kitzer went to work and last night he and Detective Line arrested Flor- ence May Barton, a married woman, li vea:s of age. Florence’s statement which was given to the police tells the story. Itis as follows: 1, Florence May Barton, residing at No. 231 Cook street, met Frank Pfister on the night of July 25, after 10 o’clock, atthe corner of Flushing and Bushwick avenues. He bade me good evening. We held a conversation, after which he asked meto take a walk and have some ice cream, We then walked through Bushwick avenue to Scholes street, up Scholes street across the lots, when he placed his arm around my waist and asked me if he could see me the next night Isaid he could, and told him Iwas a married woman. He replied that that was so much the better for me. I asked him what he meant and he said: ‘Oh, nothing.’ At the same time he caught hold of me, threw me backward over his kneeto the ground and attempted to assault me. ‘‘] screamed. Hethen pulled a pistol and fired one shot, and told me he would brain me if J did not shut up. Ifought and got the re- volver out of his hand and struck him on the head with it while he held medown. Ithrew him to the ground and ran away. He got up and called after me: ou. will get even with you,’ after which he walked away. He had a handkerchief in his hand, which he put to his eye,as I saw when I turned, but 1 still kept running. I then went to my sister’s house, No. 911 Flushin avenue, where 1 remained all night. Faia not think the blow I struck him would kill him. Sergt. Kitzer says he knows the girl to be respectable, and is willing to goon her bond forany ,amount. She is a small blonde and lived with her busband but a short time, as she could not keep him at work. Since she separated from him she has supported herself at dressmaking. She had known young Pfister tor a long time and he never offered her an insult before. She consented to walk wit him because she knew him. Young Pfister had a good reputation, and it is supposed he spent the money he stole for liquor and was very drunk when he met Florence. HENRY IRVING. The Actor Coming to America to Dine with His Friends. New York, August 5.—Henry Irving, the actor, is expected toarrive here on Monday next. It is said his visit to this country is for no other purpose than to shake hands with his American friends and give them a dinner at Delmohico’s next Wednesday. When he sailed for England last year, the distinguished actor said: I will never play in America again, butI will come back asa private gen- tleman to see a great country for which I have conceived a fondness.’’ He is the only notabie English actor who has shown any- thing but a pecuniary intesest in the United States. r. Irving intended to go to Colorado this year and do some — The primary —— of his visit, however, is to do something in a purely private and social way to show his affection and gratitude forthe kind treatment he received on his professional tours. Aninvitationto make a yacht cruise on the Atiantic coast was sent to Mr. Irving by Mr. Buck, the proprietor of the Spirit of the Times. It was accepted by cable. Mr. Irving is accompanied to America by his com- anion artist, Ellen Terry, and her daugh- ter. Mr. J. C. Parkinson, the well-known English writer, is one of the party. At the dinner at * there will — forty or fifty guests, including many promt — resentative Americans from various Among the cruise are John B. the Louisville, New Al- oad; Wm.

NEW YorK, August 5.—The trial of the charges made by Mayor Grace against Commissioner of Public Works Squire was continued to-day. The throng of spectators was larger than yesterday. The third of the seven charges was taken up, malfeasance in office in failing to com- piy with certain provisions of the law. This was understood to _ reter to the application of the civil-service law as interpreted by Commissioner Squire. Water Register John W. Chambers testified to men having been appointed to places as axemen in the de- partment, and were afterwards transferred to nigner grades in the same departmefit. These men were transferred to higher de- partments after a day or so of service as ax- men and without having pertormed any duties. Chief Engineer Berdsali testified that he never personally made any transfers but always re- ceived his orders from tbe Commissioner or his deputy. Some of those thus detailed performed services as messengers in the department amd did not return to uct as axe men under the supervision of the witness. The salaries of the axemen as appointed, were generally paid out of the Croton-water Fund, The evidence of this witness indicated very clearly that several men were carried on the pay rolis as employed onrepairs and main- tenance of the agueduct, and tbeir salaries charged to the Croton-water fund when they were employedin the Department on totally different work in violation of the civil service laws. Mr. Strahan, Squire’scounsel, and the Mayor had a dispute in regard to an objection taken by counsel which the Mayor overruled. Mr. Strahan said whatever the Mayor should do in this case, he could not shut him from the Governor. He charged that the Mayor was simply acting on a preconcerted arrangement to secure the appointment of a Commissioner of Public Works. Seligman Mannheimer, Cnief Clerk of the Civil Service Board, testified regard ing the operations of the civil service law, and said none of the axe men mentioned, appeared before the Board for the purpose of qualifying themselves for their change of position, » MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING, A Supicion of Foul Play—News from Belle- ville, Phillip Scheckendanz, ayoung farm hand who worked for Charles Heinz near Darm- stadt, is mysteriously missing, and owing to various circumstances connected with his disappearance the people of that village suspect that he has been foully dealt with.

The Birming- bam Unionists cannot oppose the sitting of a Conservative without a gross breach of faith, nor home rule without a gross breach of principle. Asfor setting upacolorless Lib- eral without views of the Irish auestion in order to reunite the party, if they are trying to create a know-nothing party whose sole object is to upset the Conservatives, the sooner the country knows it and who are at the bottom of it the better.“ LIBERAL UNIONISTS’ MEETING . A meeting of Liberal Unionists was held in Devonshire House, the residence of Lord Hartington, to-day. Lord Ilartington pre- sided and among those present were Messrs. Joseph Chamberlain, Sir Henry James and Messrs. Rylands, Caine, Heneage and Jesse Collings. Lord Hartington in a long speech upon the coming parliamentary work pro- posed tha all attitude of hostility towards the adherents of the late Government be aban- doned. The Liberal sections should co-operate in an endeavor to secure the enactment of useful legislation and oppose unitedly all pro- posals looking tothe separation of the Empire. He said the consolidation of the party was only a matter of time [cheers]; towards that end the Unionists should at once identify themselves with the rest of the Liberals by taking seats in the House of Commons among them. He reiterated his opinion that the split in the party would soon heal. Mr. Chamber- lain followed Lord Hartington. He said he would willingly accept the leadership of Lord Hartington, with whom he was in entire and cordial sympathy. He declared that such action as Lord Hartington proposed would speedily restore the unity of the party. The Unionists, he said, were the real victors at the late elections. Mr. Chamberlain's remarks were received with enthusiasm and cheers. Messrs. Rylands, Collings and Caine and Sir Henry James also spoke iu a similar strain. A vote of thanks to Lord Hartington was then passed by acclamation, and a resolution was unanimously adopted that the Radical and Whig Unionists should work together and that the leaders who are privy councillors should claim seats in the House of Commonson an equality with the Gladstonian leaders. The meeting unani- mously indorsed the sentiment of the speak- ers. Some reports say that forty and others that sixty were present atthe meeting. PARNELL’S MOTION. DuBLIN, August 5.—The following motion was proposed by Mr. Parnell and seconded by Mr. Harrington at yesterday’s meeting of the National League: We deem it our duty to warnthe Gjgernment that the depreciation in the prices of farm produce since tne judi- cial rents were fixed makes it impossible for tenants to pay their rents.

FROM THESE FIGURES it can be seen in which countries tea is most popular as a beverage. In Great Britain the average individual con- sumes three times the amount of tea that an American does,and the Australians, from the above figures, seem to be twice as fond of it as the British. Russia, being an extremely cold country,no tea can be grown there, but the overland importation is considerable. The sea trade is principally to Great Britain and this country. As yet no very successful attempts Shave been made to grow tea in this country, but in the neighborhood of London there are a great groves which endure the ot winter with- out any protection. Butas was already said, the cold deprives the leaves of much of the flavor which mark their growth in tropical countries. Comparisons made between the above figures and figures com- piled in 1860 show that the beverage is con- stantly becoming more popular. In Great Britain in 1860, for instance, the consumption per capita was only 2.67, while in 188 it was 4.90, the average given above. Strange to say that while the number of tea drinkers is constantly increasing-people are getting to care less and less for coffee, that is if the taste of the people of Great Britain may be taken as examples of the uni- versal tendency. In 1860 the average consumption of coffee in Great Britain per capita was 1.28, while in 1883 it was only 0.89. The most probable reason why people are get- ting to care less for coffee is that most phy- sielans are of the opinion that itis harmful to the nervous system. THE WABASH, Will the Bondholders Take Charge of the Chicago Division?—Railread Notes. The fate of the Chicago Division of the Wa- bash will be settled in a few days. The re- ceivers have prepared a report which will be mailed to Chicago to-night, and filed in the United States Circuit Court to-morrow, show- Division. This is in compliance with an order made by Judge Gresham on July 23. This report will be filed to morrow, and will show the earnings and expenses of this divisionfrom the day the receivers were appointed until July 1, 1886. There are filty- two paragraphs explaining how these figures were arrived at and how the earnings and ex- penses were divided from the remainder of the system. At Wabash headquarters nothing has been heard from the Chicago Division bondholders but from this report they will be able to judge if they have been treated fairly by the receivers. On the report depends whether the trustees will take the road and operate it for the bondholders,or whether the proposition of the purchasing committee will be accepted. The proposition is to fund the interest debt which has accrued the last two years with bonds of the new ompany, and if this is accepted the Chi- cago Division will sti) remain in the system. Col. W. H. Blodgett, General Solicitor, and Col. J. F. Howe, General Agent for the Receiv- ers of the Wabash, returned from Des Moines this morning. They state that the directors of the Des Moines & St. Louis passed u resolution to cancel and surrender the lease of the Des Moines & St. Louis tothe Wabash. The Wabash receivers will continue Mr. and Mrs, Didier at their residence, 7802 S. [to operate this line, but should any deficit re- sult in the operating expenses it is to be charged as a lien on that particular property. In other words, the Wabash receivers will not be responsible for the shortage in earnings. J. G. Motiey, Chief Engineer of the Mobile & Ohio, came up from below this morning and is in consultation with Charles Hamilton, Gen- eral Superintendent of the line. They are figuring on the most feasible plan for getting a connection with the bridge and for making standard gouge crossings over the roads they now Cross. r.

CHICAGO, August 5,—Despite the threatening weather the ladies were present in Judge Garey's court this morning in undiminished numbers. M. T.

The letter in substance an inquiry as to whether or not Spies could use certain articles written Dy atkoff.

Schwab, 50 First street, New York.’’ Witness said he did not use the term ‘‘proletariat’’ in the sense in which Socialists always employ the term, but he understood it to mean a man without any meansof support. LYING WITNESSES, W. A. Patterson, a Socialist and member of the International Workingmen’s organiza tion, testified that he was at the Arbeiter Zel- tung Office May 4, about7 or8 p.m. Schwab, Parsons, Fieiden and others were there. Kau came in and said speakers were wanted at the Haymarket. Witness was asked: Did zen that evening, or that afternoon, or 4ny ay or at any time ever hear the word ‘rupé . with an explanation of its mean- n g. ‘*I never did.“ Patterson said a message came from Deer- ing and asked to have a speaker sent there that night and thatit was arranged then to have Schwab attend that meeting. This was offered to verify the testimony given yester day that Schwab addressed a gathering there the night of the Haymarket massacre. John Holloway, an Englishman, was close the wagon during speaking and denied that Fielden made u of the expression, Here come the blood. hounds,’ referring to the police, and said be could not have been 12 When asked to poine out Spies, Parsons and Fielden, be pointed out Schwab, Fieldén and Parsons, lu their order, and having done this on the cross-examination was excused.

The Coroner is to-day holding an inquest on the body of George Dinah, the negro who was killed yesterday morning by John Sweeney, the mate of the steamer Hudson. E- Gov. Johnson, Sweeney’s attorney, was on hand and watched the proceedings with interest. Fred Corrigan, a white deckhand, testified that he heard Sweeny twice order Dinah to leave the boat and saw the latter raise his hand with a stone in it to throw it at the mate when the latter shot him. Dinah fell and the sione dropped from his hand, Corrigan picked it up and panded itto John Monahan, a hand on the boat, who said he would take care of it. John Monahan, an old sailor, who is a sort of general utility man on board the boat, made a very funny witness. He said he heard the mate call to Dinah to ‘‘get off freight,’’ and immediately afterward heard a shot and the negro fell in his arms. He did not see the shot fired, but was within a few feet of the negro when killed, afid saw the smoking revolver in Sweeny’s hand. Do you know anything more about this case? as k ed Coroner Nidelet. „Well, tell all you know. „ just want somebody to ask me a question about what I know sul can tell it.’’ „Well, I'm asking you to tell all you know. Now. go ahead. „Alright then, I' tell you. After the ne- gro fell I laid him down on his right side and then on his left side, and as I turned him over some stones fell out of his shirt bosom. Corrigan also handed mea stone which he said was one of the stones the negro had thrown at the sec- ond mate. I have got the stones here, and want vou to call in Corrigan to see if he can identify the one he gave me.“ There- upon the sailor.“ as Monahan is known, raised a bundie to the table. After care- fully untying the around it he unwound 11 wrappin inside of the first, disclosing a red hand- kerchief, which, when duly opened, exposed to view three stones. ‘*There are the stones, said Monahan, and I have kept good care ofthem. I wouldn’t even let the Captain have them. This is the one [indi- eating] that Corrigan gave me and the other two fell from Dinah’s shirt bosom when I turned him over. ' Several negroes testified that Dinab had no stone in his hand, and thaf they heard nothing paid about a stone at the time. They said that the mate had canght the negro ‘‘ratting’’ or loafing behind a hogshead, and chased him away. He then hit him witha piece of coal and as the negro whirled around shot him. At3v'clock this afternoon the inguest was still in progress. Legal Notes. Dr. Wm. F. Kler this afternoon filed in court an attachment suit against J. M.

Wheat and Corn Both Pull Out From the Weakness of Yesterday. Special by Telegraph from Pickering & Co., Chicago, to the Post-DisPaTCcu. CHICAGO, August 5, 1p. © rgb boys were very much mixed in regard to the effect the changing of the amount afloat would have on the market. They supposed of course, it would Bear it and so did not wait for the board to open, but sold all they could on the curb and broke the price halfacent. But when the time came for operations Mr. Hutchinson’s and Ream’s brokers stood ready to take all their wheat, and when they tried to get it back it was buy- ing of each other that was short and very hard to get, and an advance of e. was the result. Mr. R. W. Clark did good buying, but many thought from the way he bought, bidding sellers’ price for large blocks, that he was simply washing up the market for others to sell on. Counseiman was a good buyer of October, and altogether their buying was enough to sustain the market. At 77c there appeared to bea good many selling orders, but alittle war gossip over theftickers caused the withdrawal of these orders and the price firmed to i7\%c, when a new element appeared. Stauffer, Scott, Linn, Ellis and Pheips all came into the pit from opposite sides and offered wheat in 25,000 and 50,000 lots and the market soon eased back to Tic sellers. C. B. Van Kirk, who’s opinion we respect, says wheat is going to do better; that there is a lighter movement from first hands while the outward movement keeps good, and thereis a premium for cash wheat over seller the month in many of the markets. Mr. Worthington savs he do@t see much to buy on; that the export business is very light. only one boat to-day, that Mr. Ream bought his shorts in yesterday and so took that much off the market, and it is only a natural reaction; while Mr. Murry of Orr, Crittenden & Co. says he 18 a bull, but it doesn’t act right, that we ought to be exporting five or six million a week. Toledo says we will have the lightest receipts of wheat this month than auy August in five years, and that the premium for cash has advanced a cent and a half in the last five days. The closing cables are dull, but the closing here is strong at 770 for September wheat and Als eue tor corn. Esti- mated cars for to- morrow are 175 of wheat, 425 of corn and 190 of oats.

FORENOON SESSION—CLOSING Ir. Mu. Of the exports from Atlantic ports for four weeks ending July 31,542,480 bbis flour, 1,681,- bu wheat and 2,421,555 bu corn went to the United Kingdom and 42,373 bble flour, 2,890,926 bu wheat and 924,401 bu corn to the Continent. ——A trader remarked to-day that Europe sends in her dull and weak cables early, buys her wheat lower as the result and winds up the day with strong cables. ‘‘And thus they work us_ to the Queen's taste, he concluded.——Tom Bennett of Chicago was on the floor to-day. icago wired that the O., B. & C. road will withdraw special rates on Nebraska corn on the 10th, which will cause a larger move- ment up to that date.——-Now it is said a mis- take was made in yesterday’s report on the amount of wheat on passage to — and that instead of an increase of over 1,400,000 bu, it should have been a decrease of 1,500,000 bu. There was no mistake, as two reports come from two gt po different sources, one coming in Wednesday and the other Thursday. There is always a difference between these two, but seldom, if ever, 80 eat as this latest shows.——The Cincinnati ice-Current’s latest estimate is for a 1.500. 000,000 bu to 1,600,000,000 bu crop of corn. If there is still 75 per cent, and some claim more than this, of ol corn back in the country, the United States would have about 8,000,000,000 bu to work on next season, which is what Alex. David- son calls a right smart chance of corn.’’—— For the first time since the new crop of wheat began moving freely, the stock in this market to-day shows a decrease, though a very small one.——A car of new spring wheat arrived in Duluth to-day and graded No. 1 hard.— So far this week the receipts of wheat at primary points exceed the shipments by about 1,700,000 bu. —A fairy tale was floating around Chicago to-day that the wheat crops of England, France and Germany were short 280, 000,000 bu. This was sheer non- sense.——Nothing done here in the way of export purchases of wheat and little reported at the seaboard, but it is asserted by well-informed parties that both New York and Chicago were on a good export basis at pres- ent prices.——At the stock call to-day 600 shares Sheridan sold at $2.15 Wheat—Cables were dull, with spot 1 d and car goes 6d ls lower, and fine weather in England reported, and the curb in Chicago Was down to 76 h. This gave a rather easy opening, but the weakness was over in no time when other markets started upward buoyantly, the statement that the ocean wheat had de- creased 1,500,000, instead of increasing that advance. The local crowd of traders were mixed on the situation. Most of them con- sidered the market too lowto sell on, and quite a number were disposed to buy on any freaks. The decrease in the stock, slight hs it: was, proved something ofa bull factor, es- pecia@fly as it is believed the first heavy run of receipts is over. There are too, a great many believers in an export demand, though cables continue so dull fromthe other side. On the other hand, an early and large movement is looked for of the new spring wheat crop. II the Northwest should have a wet harvest, or it in any other way, the movement should be delayed or restricted, it would prove one of the greatest bull influences that could be used. Some are disposed to bank on this now. Whatever the news, influences and feelings, the market held up very stifily and the close was strong at top rates and lec above yesterday. August sold at 7télac; September at 7744@'ec; Oct. at 79 ½ 0 to 7975 0, November at Sifec to SIe; May at 9ilec, and at close 91840 asked. Spot grades were better, No. 2 red selling 58 high- er, and the demand continued active No. 2 red 76c; No. 8 red 706 700; No. 4 65c this and 65tec E. side; No. 2 Mediterranean 740 bid this side; No. 3 do 69cin U., 70c this side. Corn was %&c lower right at the opening, but there were more buyers than sellers, quite a — number of country orders coming in and these backed by the usual ‘‘chestnut’’ of dry hot weather. Rains were reported as pretty generalin the corn belt and more rain threatening, but they seemed to have lost their influence and were not regarded. Chi- cago was said to be bulling on the Cincinnati Price Current's estimate which, by the way, was not an un favorable one by any means, when the amount back in farmers and country dealers’ hands is considered. The strength that devel- oped in wheat was probabiy the power behind corn, and did more to sustain it than anythin else. Trading was rather slack, and after advancing %c the market eased off a to z ate, closing at 4i%e. August offered at 394ec and for year 38%c bid. Higher prices were paid for spot grades, but the mar- ket still quiet, in part owing to the very smal! offerings. No. 4, 400 in St. 89l2c asked for M., 393880 bid for A. and N., 38%c for C.; No. 8, 38%ec in M. and O.; No. 4, 3lc bid this side and U., 31 ½e for C.; No. 2 white 42c this and 6812 E. side, Ge in St. L.; NO 3 do, 39e bid regular, 40e this side; no-grade, 304ec bid for C. Oats— Futures were dull and unattractive to speculators, so that little was done in that line. September sold \c bigher at 27%c, but October offered ‘ec lower at 29%c, with 290 bid; August held at 26 4e, bid 2620: May at 34e, did 333. Spot grades were easier, though the order demand fair. No, 2, 264ec regular, 20858 in M.; No. 3, 25%c in M.; no- grade, Be in M. Rye— Grade No. 2 offered at 52c and for E. side, 50e bid; for rejected, 46c bid. Flour was no better so far as the demand was concerned and even the low prices failed to increase business, but still there was noticeable more of an — age 4 and a look- ing aronnd by outside uyers that may result fn a larger trade.

Provisions in Chicago were heavy, partica- larly pork, and the disposition among heavy operators seems to be tosell, soitis said, and there is some there about a general strike at the stock yards. That market declined early in the day, but recovered later and the effect was to make a quiet market here, though with no material change in value. Stan- dard mess pork sol steadily at $9.25.

The fondness of the average Federal ap- pointee for a vindication is equaled only by the fondness of the devil for holy water. a, 2 _ I 1 Ir is hard to imagine what was Judge HOFSTETTER’S motive in confessing that he had delivered RASUREs up to his mur- derers without giving him a hearing or even seeing the papers in the case, unless indeed HOFSTETTER is aman of political ambition and would like to get a good federal office. . 1 ‘MURDER will out,“ and there are other forms of transgression which it is hard to keep covered up, as the Dark Lantern Surveyor of St.Louis will find out. It is reported that the threatened investi- gation has been temporarily choked off at Washington, but this cannot suppress the inevitable ventilation. — . — Ir is true that too much money was kept in the National Treasury underthe Re- publican administrations, but the main offence committed in those lively old boodle days was the abstraction of too much money fromthe Treasury, to be scattered among the faithful by “ways that are dark and tricks that are vain.” THE clumsy ignorance. of American affairs that often obtains among London journalists is displayed by the Standard, which speaks of the Democrats ‘‘who “fought and won, after half a century of “defeat, under the egis of CLEVELAND.” It is probably the same writer who men- tioned the novels of HENRY JAMES, the ex-guerilla chief and border bandit.“ — — — — SENATOR EDMUNDS asserts that our Re- form Administration's appointments are the worst lot an American Senate has ever had to pass upon. He might have added the remark of the Boston Transcript, a Republican paper, that the Republican Senators have confirmed the worst of the lot with most gracious cheerfulness and alacrity. Whenever a nomination ‘‘hung fire’’ it went through as soon as the crookedness of the nominee’s record could be shown up, and evidently Senator Ep- MUNDS will be disappointed if the new incumbents do not soon produce a larger crop of scandals per capita than the country was favored with under even the haleyon regime of Republican whisky rings, Indian rings, land rings, navy rings and railroad rings. AFTER consulting his Attorney-General, and doubtless after reading Senator VEST’S argument against the constitu- tionality of the oleomargarine bill, Presi- dent CLEVELAND approved that bill, but with some reservations and the sug- gestion of some amendments to make it more effective. He wants it made more effective against fraud in the oleomar- garine business, and does not think that the elimination of fraud will diminish the legitimate profits of that business honestly conducted. Be- ing a lawyer himself, he thinks that the fourteenth and fifteenth sections may be construed as an interference with the police powers of the States and should, therefore, be amended. But as they will be invalid so far as they are unconstitu- tional, and as their invalidity will not vitiate the whole measure, he approves the bill all the same for the good it may do as a step in the right direction of pro- tecting the people from fraud and of shift- ing taxation from necessaries which should not be taxed to things that can bear it better. En OO — | Ir is too soon to make positive declara- tions in reference to our little quarrel with Mexico, but in view of the fact that the peremptory demand of the State Depart- ment has been ignored, our side has cer- tainly nothing to boastof thus far. A demand calls for a categorical answer, yes or no; nothing else is competent or relevant. Yet Mr. Bayarp’s demand ee. ; os 7 . . * » , 1 (Pale SR er ee ot: ' 5 er n o r SW eo eae ae a ER A” n 2 7 7 4 > b iy 2 7 o Ema PUBLISHING Co., : and discounted in advance of the demand. * 8 in entering into a correspondence which partakes of the nature of an investigation. In taking such action he necessarily re- cedes from his original position. When he made his demand, it was of course based on the implied assumption that any explanation which the Mexican Govern- ment could make had been considered The summary action of the State Depart- ment called for the instant release of CUTTING, and if that had been obtained, explanations could havegbeen afterwards entertained as a matter of courtesy. It is reported that the unruly element of the Mexicans are rejoicing over what they consider their victory; and while there has been no victory, there does appear to be a slight cause for their rejoicing. — = — * * HOP STETT ERS STATEMENT. Judge HorsTetrer’s admissions in re- gard to his official action in the Rasures case are the reverse of exculpatory. His statement is nothing more nor less than a confession that he wrote an order for the arrest and surrender of a man to Mex- ican pursuers, without seeing them or the man, without hearing what he had to say on the subject, and without seeing any- thing that purported to be requisition pa- pers from any Mexican official. He admits that he did this on the mere request of Sheriff OGLESBY, and on the latter’s state- ment that the man was a Mexican horse- thief Mand that the requisition papers would be handed to the Judge next day, though it now seems that no such papers éver came or have even yet been seen by Judge or Sheriff! So, whether RasuRES was a Mexican or American, an innocent man or a criminal, these American officials were both guilty of illegally aiding his Mexican murderers to kidnap and hurry their victim away to his doom, contrary to American law, whose protection.every mere sojourner is entitled to, and which’ forbids the extra- dition of anybody, except after a full hearing upon regularly authenticated requisition from the proper foreign officials, supported by proof that the per- son is a fugitive from justice. Judge HoOrstETTER, in behalf of himself and the Sheriff, makes a further state- ment which, if its truth be established, will not weaken the case against them, but will considerably weaken the case of the United States against Mexico. He states that RASURES was a Mexican fugi- tive seeking American protection years ago when he first made declaration of his intention to become a citizen of the United States, and that, returning to Mexico as soon as the danger blew over, he then re- sumed his Mexican citizenship by serving in the Mexican army and by continuous residence within Mexican jurisdiction for years and until his recent return to Eagle Pass. If this be true and it be also true that no authorized Mexican official sent any re- quisition for the unfortunate man, the case will furnish us with no basis fora valid demand upon Mexico. If we de- mand the punishment of the Mexicans who took RASURES from our soil without authority of law, Mexico will answer that he was arrested and surrendered to them without official requisition and upon the order of an American extradition agent duly commissioned, and that we can best vindicate the majesty of our outraged sovereignty by seeking satisfaction from ourownagent. If we demandthe sur- render or punishment of the men who murdered Rasvures, she will answer that the vindication of her own laws demands their punishment, and that the murder of one Mexican citizen by other Mexicans on Mexican soil is not an affair that concerns the United States. We will have to com- pletely reverse our claim in the CuTTING case before wescan demand satisfaction for the murder of a Mexican by Mexicans in Mexico. —_ | — 2 THE SURPLUS, The House was wise in adopting the sur- plus resolution as modified by the con- ferrees of the two disagreeing bodies. As sent to the President it contains no pro- vision for the purchase of trade-dollar bullion at an enormous premium, and it differs from the original House resolution only in according too large a margin of discretion to the Secretary of the Treas- | ury in locking up surplus or using the same for redemption of bonds and ex- tinction of interest charges. It permits him either to call bonds with any $10,000,000 of surplus he may have in excess of the $100,000,000 held agaifist the greenback circulation, or to call $10,000,000 of bonds only when the excess is $30,000,000, or to retain temporarily even a larger ex- cess in extreme emergencies, which are to be reported to Congress. But the resolu- tion is still an implied censure of the Administration’s treatment of the surplus. Itamounts to a declaration that about $60,000,000 of the surplus now retained in the Treasury should have been applied to the extinction of the interest-bearing debt, and that there should be redeemed at least $107,000,000 of redeemable bonds during the current fiscal year, unless the Treasury estimates are upset by some emergency not now in sight. Some Senators contend that the rey- enues will exceed the estimates $25,000,000 or more, as they did last year, and that even as amended the resolution implies the redemption of at least $130,000,000 of bends during the current fiscal year. That would mean an annual saving of $3,900,000 of interest, with a surplus of $120,000,000 retained all the time in the Treasury, and the redemption of ali the bonds subject. ‘ruinous congestion of cash in the Treas- ury. n TWO CASES. International quurrels on account of in- dividuals are not new. A most memora- ble example was the Don Pacifico case, now nearly forgotten, which brought En- gland to the verge of war more than thirty-five years ago, and gave Lord PALMERSTON the opportunity to make his famous and eloquent appeal for the honor and dignity of English citizenship and to achieve in a single night the reputation of a great Parliamentary orator. Dow Pactrico was an obscure and hum- ble Jew living in Athens, buta British subject. During a period of excitement and disorder, an Athenian mob tore down his house and destroved his property. As an English subject, he made out a claim for damages against the Greek Govern- ment and urged itinthe regular way. Greece was then under the joint protection of several great Powers, and France and Russia resented the DON Pactrico claim, which was sustained by England. The matter came up in the House of Commons and Lord PALMERSTON, as Sec- retary for Foreign Affairs, made the most effective speech of his life, consuming nearly a night in its delivery, in which he contended that the Don Pacifico claim should be sustained with the whole re- sources of the Empire, even if it precipi- tated a war with France and Russia. A great principle was involved in an insig- nificant episode; the value and meaning of English citizenship were represented in the person of an obscure and perhaps de- spised English subject. This view of the case afforded the key-note of the speech, and the appeal wasirresistible. The ancient argument conveyed in the words, ‘‘Civis Romanus sum,’’ was applied with a pas- sion and energy that bore down all op- position. The result was that the Govern- ment was committed to the support of the Don Pacifico claim, the Government at Athens was forced to pay it, and France and Russia did not go to war with England.’ It cannot yet be known what will be done in the Cutting case, but if he were a British subject one could make a pretty accurate guess as to the result. —— — — — THE Senate had to agree to the striking out of its trade-dollar amendment before the House would accept the other Senate amendments to the surplus resolufion. The trade dollar was never by law any more of a legal tender than the fractional paper issues called postal currency. It was issued for no other purpose than to circulate in foreign trade as bullion at its bullion value, and the mint stamp upon it was intended only as a United States Gov- ernment certification of its weight and fineness. As bullion, the trade dollars are now worth only 73 13-16 cents, and to redeem them at paris to pay one dollar for 73 13-16 cents worth of silver bullion marked in a certain way which can be easily imitated in any country where the mechanic arts flourish. Yet the Senate attached to the surplus resolution an amendment authorizing the redemption at par of all the trade dollars which may be presented in six months from the pass- age of the resolution. It is estimated that of the trade dollars coined by the United States there are now F510, 000, 000 in the hands of speculators who bought them as bullion, to hold them for the ‘‘soft snap“ proposed by this Senate amendment. The redemption of the trade dollar would be a — | gift of $2,619,000 to these speculators, and there is no telling how many more mill- ions of them might be presented for re- demption during six months. —— — — — THE Hennepin Canal is not only badly dis- figured, but hardly in the ring.

The business men of St Louis ha . vo inaugu- rated a work that might be imitated with ad- vantage by Philadelphia merchants.

Besides being unjustly taxed and burdened in their industrial and business ns to make good these watered charges and discriminations. To redress these wrongs the Merchants and Manufacturers’ As- sociation of St. Louis has been organized, and it is pursuing the same tactics that are Being employed in Pennsylvania. It is sending cir- oulars broadcast over the State propounding certain interrogatories to candidates for the State Legislature. It proposes to make the railroad question an issue before the people, and to secure, what is also needed in Pennsyl- vania, some means of enforcing obedience td the provisions of the State Constitution. The Trade Dollar Vote, From the New York Post. The press dispatches failed to report the yeas and nays in the Senate upon the extraordinary amendment to the surplus resolution propos- ing that the Government pay 100 cents apiece for the 75-cent trade dollars. The division. is of so much interest that we copy the list ffom the Congressional Record (Republicans in roman, Democratsin italics): YEAS.

Paris Dispatch to the London Standard. M. Maspero, who from family circumstances has found it necessary to relinquish the Mper- intendence of the important archwological excavations now in progress in Egypt, has just given at the Academy of Inscriptions an interesting account of his latest discoveries. With regard to the great Sphinx, M. Maspero stated that the works of this year had lowered the surface of the ground surrounding the monument by 16 meters. Little more had now to be done before it could be ascertained whether the Sphinx rested on a pedestal. From the appearance of the Sphinx, now that it is so far disclosed, M. Maspero is inclined to reject the opinion that it was carved on a huge rock commanding the plain. He considers that the plateau was hollowed outinto an im- mense basin, at the centre of which the rock intended to be sculptured into the Sphinx was left intact. Among the numerous excavations made, M. Maspero mentioned an untouched sepuichre of the twentieth dynasty, even the priests’ seals on the doors remaining as when placed there N Andrew Jackson's Way. Old Hickory’s Message on the Surplus. The influence of an accumulating surplus upon the legislation of the general Govern- ment and the States, its effects upon the credit system of the country, pfoducing outrageous extensions and ruinous contractions, fluctua- tions in the price of property, rash specula- tions, idleness, extravagance and a deteriora- tion of morals have taught us the important fesson that any transient mischief which may attend the reduction of our revenue to the wants of the Government is to be borne in preference to an overflowing Treasury. The simplest mode of obviating’ all difficulties which have been mentioned is to collect only revenue enough to meet the wants of the Government, and let the people keep the balance of their property in their hands for their own profit. Gould’s Strike. From the Philadelphia Record. Now that it appears tolerably clear that the Knights of Labor in their great Missouri Pacific Railroad strike were playing directly into the hands of Mr. Jay Gould in more effectually kicking the life out of the Texas Pacific specu- lation, his serenity during that contest is measurably accounted for. It adds to the bit- terness and misery occasioned by that un- timely undertaking that its projectors were cat’s-paws as well as fools. The next time Jay Gould wants to wreck a railroad property, however, he will hardly have the co-opera- tion of workingmen.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, August5.—The WORLD says to- day: Only some Americans who might be very willing to see the promptest and most decisive action in the event of an outrage on an American citizen by some powerful gov- ernment—such as England, for instance—do not seem to think it necessary to prove our courage by being over hasty with an inferior power like Mexico. It is very well to adopt the policy of a word and a blow with a muscu- lar bully, but the bravest man can often afford to take a little talk from a feeble upstart who happens to tread on his toes. THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘The mind of the politi- cian in Congress seemsto bealert chiefly in seeking occasion to give a party turn to every incident it has to deal with. Yesterday an opposition sprung up in the House to the resolutions unanimously reported by the Committee on Foreign Affairs approving of the action of the State Department in the Cut- ting case, and favoring a peremptory demand for the release of the imprisoned editor. Its immediate source was one ofthe Repub n members of the committee which reportedthe resolution, his mind having undergone a change through contact with other partisan minds which revolted at the ideaof doing anything that might give —s o to a Demo- cratic administration. he dignity of the country was to these minds of small conse- quence in comparison. THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: The American Minister is reported to have said in London that reso- lute coercion is the only solution of the Irish 4 „ It the report be true, Mr. Phelps as been rag 4 of an indiscretion which he will rue. He has a right to think what he pleases, but there are certain things which he should keep quiet. An opinion in favor of co- ercion may endear him to the English, but the American people, who heartily approve home rule, will not be drawn to him thereby.’’ THE SUN. The Sun says: It seems to be the aim of part of the press to educate the people to the idea that representative government is a inisfortune. Attack jobbery, expose folly, denounce neglect of duty; but don't, for heaven’s sake, try to build up the conviction that the National Legislature is made up of plunderers, loafers, and fools, and that it is a blessing when one branch of our Constitu- tional Government temporarily suspends its functions. Yet this is the lesson which many newspapers, particularly of Mugwump sort, attempt to teach every time a session of Con- gress comes toanend. Perhaps some of these gentlemen would like to abolish the Congress which they regard as so rotten and contempti- ble, and to transfer its powers to the Civil Ser- vice Commission, its members to be self ap- pointed and irremovable.’’ ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.- KNOWLEDGE SEEKER.—The precedes the quotation marks.

A Lively Row Over the Curtailment of the President’s Right to Dispose of the Police Force—Only the Beginning of a Fight—The Situation. The spirit of diss ension has again orept into the Board of Police Commissioners. The official fraternity which guides the Gestinies of the department is divided against itselt. 0 serious is the split in the Board that as 4 tim. ber for the ship of state it is absolutely un. fitted. Several weeks ago the first indications ofthe fracture became noticeable, but nothing serious occurred until the last meeting ot the Board when the difference became a caping chasm from the opposite brinks of which Gen. O0. F. Gooding, com. missioner, and His Honor Mayor Francis, ex-officio President, and by the grace ot the Supreme Court acting President and executives member between sessions, rioted. After aq. journment the Mayor hurried away at a more rapid rate than usual. Gen. Gooding adjystog his gaze on the ground about three points from the vertical line. His brenchial a clearances were ominously deep and reverberated through the corridors. Commissioners Gaiennie and Wilkeson followed ,each wearing a pained expression. The trouble has not ended yet. The next meeting of the Board threatens to bring about a SERIOUS BREAK-UP IN THAT Hop. The origin of the row nis as follows: When Chief Huebler assumed the chieftaincy last May an order was issued from the Board room transferring — Con O'Donnell from Capt. Boyd’s command in Carondelet to Centra! Dis. trict, and Sergt.James Ear! from Carondelet to Second Police District. Sergt. HM. M. Jones, newly promoted, and Sergt. Wm. Young were detailed from Central District to Carondelet. At the meeting of the Board succeeding these changes the matter was reported by the Chief and was 22 of on order ofthe Vice and Acting sident. This arrangement was one of several important changes made about that time. Since then some of the political workers in Curondelet have charged that the changes were made at the instigation of Assistant Chief Brennan of the Fire Department, because the Sergeants were averse to Mr. Brennan's politica! plans. It is due to the assistant chief to say tliat he denies all responsibility or connection with the transfers which continued in effect uma few days ago, when Mayor Francis, by virtue of the authority he supposed was vested in him between sessions of the Board, ordered the Chief to transfer O’ Donnell back to Caron. delet, whegg the Sergeant lived, though doing duty atthe Four Courts. On Tuesday he re- ported the order to the Board, and was appa- rently startied to find GEN. GOODING COCKED AND PRIMED forhim. The General protested. His Honor insisted. Gen. Gooding told His Honor that he had no right or warrant to make transfers and assignments of officers without first re. porting the proposed change to the Board and obtaining the sanction of that body. Inde fense of his position the Commissioner drew down the department manual and read the section saying the Board of Police Commissioners shall make all transfers and assignments and details for any period of time over ten days. Mayor Francis said that even under the wording of the manual he hada perfect right to discharge any or all of these duties during the intervals between meetings 13 he reported the action back to the oard within ten days for approval. His argument did not convince, however, and the General continued to denounce the claim to authority as unwarranted. Mayor Francis replied that he was only following precedent, and doin what Mr. Blair had done during his vice — acting presidency, which was passed upon by Judge Henry of the Supreme Court. On a sug. estion from Commissioners Wilkeson «and zalennie the disputed question was laid over until next meeting. ‘The result of the next meeting will probably*be a row waich WILL SPLIT THE DEPARTMENT.. It results from the decision making the Mayor the ranking officer of the department. Previous to that the Vice and Acting Presi- dent made all transfers and assignments and final disposition of all employes and attaches outside of the regular officers, reporting his action at the next succeeding meeting for rat- ification by the Board. Thisisthe precedent the Mayor claims to be following, but which the Board will not permit. The fight will be renewed by eement at the meeting of the Board next esday. As it now stands, the force will have to obey the ranking officer who on any of six days of the week can make whatever disposition of the force he thinks best,only to have the work undone on tlie sev- enth day by the Board. Daily meetings will pos- sibly be held, thereby giving the Mayor only the right to make assignments for twenty four hours. The decision of the next meeting in the case of Sergt. O’ Donnell willdecide the question of managing the department, which is now seriously affected by the row. ATHLETES AND FLAMBEAUX. Important Meeting of the Directors—Ne Carriages—Stafi Appointments. The Directors of the Athletic Parade Asso- ciation, including the officers ofthe Flambeau Battalion, met last night at the Mercantile Club, Col. Jay L. Torrey in the chair and Will J. Thornton secretary. The meeting was called to hear reports from the committee on the parade of the Athletic Societies, rowiug clubs, ete., be pen gg September 16, and fromthe officers of the Fiambeau Battalion which will make its first appearance before the St. Louis public on that occasion. Every thing was reported to be in satisfactory shape, and, although the time is short, the oflicers and directors are eh.: courged to believe that there will de nothing whatever lacking by the date an nounced to make an imposing nocturnal dis. ont The entire Fiambeau Hatallion will be andsomely equipped aceording to the plans adopted and already fully described in the POST- DISPATCH. The board last evening unani- mously elected Lieut. L. Brandon, Captain of the man Candie Company, and Licut.

The garish light, which shot into the wind- dows at the City Hall this morning, was mel- lowed by closel drawn curtains in the Mayor’s office. Sergt. McGrew, the guardian of the executive’s portal, sat in the subdued light of the back office silently enjoining callers to ‘tread lightly’’ and occasionally borrowing the page’s tobacco ina whisper. The glad- some countenances of the ofticials who moved about the offices told the callers that there was no occasion for the sorrowful wonder which showed so plainly on the faces of the new arrivals. Now and then, a feeble cry emanating from the back of the office revealed the nature of the occurrence which changed the order of things so materially. Graymalkin, the feline pet of the hall, had been brought to bed in the executive wood box oftwo kittens. Both cat and kittens are reported doing well by the Sergeant and Dr. rsett of the Dispensary staff, who have assumed the discharge of the delicate duties of the day. Given Another Dose.

Stack, Patrick McCormick, Dennis Rush and W. J. Broderick. Mr. P. II. Stack was selected general treasurer. City Attorney O’Melveny was seen passing up Missouri avenue last evening with the right side of his face badly truised and his rigut eve almost closed. It was surmised that he had had anothey collision with some of his ene. mies, but when a call was made at his home in the Fourth Ward, this morning, he stated that while passing near Simmons’ coilapsed hard: ware establishment, on Ninth and Washington avenue yesterday afternoon, he had fallen and sustained severe injuries about the bead, his right eye being badly blackened by coming in contact with the iron grating, and thus caus. ing the suspicion that he had been the victim of another assault. The directors of the East St. Louis Educa. tional Institution met last evening and elected the following officers: M. M. Stephens. Pres- ident; H. D. Sexton, Vice-President and Frank B. Bowman, Secretary and Treasurer. A curious suit was entered in ‘Squire Shea's court yesterday. George Kleinhein, the Mis. souri avenue barber, sues John Voliman tor $200 damages for the loss of a mustache, which was the pride of his life. George was sleeping in the tonsorial chair yesterday, when Vollman happened along. and gde determined to perpetrate a good poke on the slumbering barber. Procuring a puair of scissors he clipped off one side of Klein- hein’s mustache and then fled. When Klein- hein awakened and viewed himself in the glass he was startled, but his astonishment soon turned to anger when he realized the misfor. tune that had befallen him, and he determined to make the perpetrator of the joke pay well for is amusement. t did not take him long to find out who the perpe- trator was;as Vollman had told what he had done to a great many. Kleinhein, having sat- isfied himself beyond a doubt that Voilman was the man who bereft him of bis mustache, went immediately to Justice Shea’s and en- tered suit for $200. This sum may seem to some to be a large amount to claim for the loss of a mustache, but to any one who has ever seen the lovely adornment ot Mr. Kleinhein the value he placed on it does not seem at all too high. That Mr. Kleinhein will win the suit there can be no doubt, as there are any number of young ladies in the Fourth Ward wko will testify that Mr. Kieinhein’s mustache was just too lovely for anything, and was worth fully as much as he claims for its loss. The pink-eye is still raging in the surround-. ing country to an alarming extent. he funeral of Mr. John Mehring, who died esterday, will take —— to-day from his late residence on the Collinsville plank road. IN BAD LUCK. A Negro Roustabout Handles His Own Tase with Humorous Address. The spectators in the First District Police Court this morning were treated to a great deal of fun by Thomas Jones, a good-natured looking negro, who was charged with tres- passing on the premises 311 South Sixth street, where he was arrested at an early hour this morning by Officer O’Donnell. Mattie Hart and Mamie West, two inmates of the house, testified that Jones opened the shutters of the house at 2:30 this morning, but ran away when he saw he had been detected. He wus afterward arrested by Officer O'Donnell. The Hart woman testified she was sure he was the same man who opened the shutter. Lemme ax you, said Jones, uam you per- fec’ ly satisfied in your own mine dat it war me dat wuz at you’ shuttah?’’ Of course, I am. Why, were you not ar- rested immediately afterward in the yard?“ ‘*You am way off. You war nebber moah ’ataken in you’ life. When Mamie West testified that she had seen Jones at a window of the house on another occasion, Jones asked: : „Hoy long ‘go am dat bin since you seen me afore?’’ About five days ago. „Now, see dar, jedge, I knowed it! She nebber seed me at all. I jes comed in on the stemah Wyominie last night, and I dun been gone on dat trip thurteen days, and Jones laughed heartily. ‘‘Dey’s got de wrong. nig gah, suah.’’ When Thomas took the stand in his own behalf, he said: ‘‘Jedge, you Honah, I'se bin libben in dis city for seben yeahs, and dis am de secon’ time I bin rested. I[jes cum in on the Wyominie las’ night at 10 o'clock an’ wuz playin’ cardsfo’ drinks till neah bout fo’ o clock in de mornin’ an’ den I wuz jes goan home when I wuz rested. WharlI wuz ‘rested am a public place. Dey am no fence nor nuffin’ dar an’ I wuz jes _ stoppin fura minute when ‘rested. Now dat am de whole truth. Un’stan’ me now, sah, | war not tryin’ to do nuffin wrong when I war ‘rested. Do you solemly believe dat I'd go to sech a house as dat ef I wanted to commit & bugglery? No, indeed, sah, Ef I goto dats kind ob a house it am fo’ sum udder pu’ pose. Now you know dat, sah.!“ „„How is that, Mr. Dyer,“ asked Judge Cady, ‘‘he says you know all about it?’’ Evading the Judge's question Mr. Dyer asked the defendant: ‘‘Where do you live? „ lip wid Aleck Freeman, the barbah, on de Lebee.’’ ‘*You live on the Levee?’’ „No, sah. Mr. Freeman keeps shop on de Lebee, but libs on Elm street.’’ Near the Levee?’’ No, sah; fo’ or five blocks up; I doan know de name ob de streets heah.’’ Then how did you get up as high as Sixth street if you were going from the Levee Ww Freeman’s house?’’ = „Why dat is on ry way home. Mr. Dyer insisted it was not, and as Thomas was evidently unacquainted with the streets bere and could not explain clearly where be lived Judge Cady fined him $100. When he pronounced sentence on Jones the negro’s eyes opened in astonishment. He was evi- dently innocentand did not expect for a mo- ment to be convicted, regarding 6 arrest rather as a good joke. It i certainly very improbable that a man who was seen in the act of attempting to burglarize a house and runs off will stop in the yard of the same house for some minutes rwards wen there was nothing to hinder him from making his escape. These facts were stated to Judzé¢ oming to confirm what 0 about just having rived on the boat.. @ negro said Detectives Lawler and Desmond could testify to his character. Lax - ler was called in, and as a matter of — said Jones was a bad man, although he coul not state a wrong act the negro had ever done. He and Desmond had arrested Jones once, but a —— — 10 —— ‘ — ap mond apolo to him, saying th bim — As Lawler had pronounced against the unfortunate darky, be had to g° down tothe Work-house, al there can hardly be any doubt about his innocence.

ADJOURNED. THE FIRST SESSION OF THE FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS CLOSED. The River and Harbor and the Sundry Civil Bills Signed by the President— Missouri Members Start for Their Homes ~The Beecher Nomination Withdrawn— Acceptance of the Grant Relics — Wash- ington News. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 5.—The Senate took up, during the progress of the secret ses- sion, the resolution providing for final ad- journment and having amended it, fixing the time at (o' clock this afternoon, adopted iv. The Cutting Resolution. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Arn. WASHINGTON, D. O., August 5.—The Ad- ministration was not well supported in the House when a contest was made upon its for- eign policy. The resolution reported from the Foreign Affairs Committee concerning the Mexican border trouble was prepared in ac- cordance with Mr. Bayard’s ideas and, it was understood, at his request. The resolution was reported unanimously, yet upon second thought Mr. Hitt, a Republican member of the committee, antagonized it very severely. and by his og probably defeated the meas- ure. Hitt is a very intimate and confidential friend of Blaine. He was his Assistant Secre- tary of State, and it is under- stood Hitt’s change of position upon this resolution is owing to light received from his old friend. As the matter now stands the State department is in a humiliating position. It has made a demand upon the Mexican Gov- ernment of a peremptory character for the release of Cutting. This demand has been ignored and practically refused. Mr. Bayard then goes to the House for support in his de- artment and is met with no results. A mem- ber of the House said he thought Bayard ought to be strong enough with the whole in- fluence of the Administration to be able to take care of one small worthless man. But that is hardly a fair situation. Bayard has already done all that he can do. He has no authority to inforce his demand, and unless Congress backs him up, the Mexican Govern- ment can continue to ignore any request he may make. Beecher’s Nomination Withdrawn. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D.C., August 5.—The President has withdrawn the nomination of H. F. Beech- er to be Collector of Customs for the District of Puget Sound, Oregon and Washington Ter- ritory. Beecher is the son of Henry Ward Beecher. The charges filed against him with the Senate Committee were that he took money from a friend to send East,and claimed to have bought and sent a money order. The money never arrived at its destination and Beecher could not prove the purchase of the money order. The Commerce Committee re- orted the nomination adversely after a full 1earing. It was briefly discussed in the Sen- ate last week, and it was evident that Beecher could not be confirmed. The President there- fore withdrew the nomination.

C., August 5.—At 2:15 Senator Edmunds announced to the Senate thatthe committee appointed to call on the President had performed that duty and had to report that the President had no rther communication to make to Congress, andthat he congratulated it on the successful performance of its duties. The House has agreed to the hour proposed by the Senate for adjournment, 4 o’clock this afternoon. Senator Cockrell’s Humor. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 5.—Senator Cockrell and Senator Walthall were riding up together to the Capitol in a herdic this morn- ing. Some one asked Senator Cockrell if he was’ going straight home on adjournment. No,“ said the Senator. I think I will stay here ten days or two weeks longer.’’ ‘*Why,’’ said his questioner, ‘‘it will be cold weather then.’’ It will be mighty hot weather in Missouri before I get back here,’’ said the Senator grimly. To Wait on the President, WASHINGTON, D. C., August 5,—Mr. Ed- munds and Mr. Harris were appointed a com- mittee to wait on the President and inform him that Congress was prepared to adjourn. The Speaker appointed Messrs. Morrison, Bandall and Hiscock as a similar committee on the part of the House. The committee, how- ever, will not wait upon the President until after the adjournment resolution has been, agreed to. Finch, Phil Kelly, M. S. Beal, John Kelly and F. D. Mills. The Executive Committee ap- pointed thirty-six delegates to the anti-saloon ‘convention at Chicago and adjourned to meet at the cali of the Chairman. HAPPY ENGINEERS. How President Cleveland’s Signature Af- fects Some Local Interests. The river and harbor bill signed by the Pres- ident this morning appropriates $375,000 for the improvement of the St. Louis district of the Mississippi. This district extends from the mouth of the Illinois to the mouth of Ohio River. Improvements have been begun at various points between these two streams which empty into the Mississippi, but are at a standstill now owing to lack of funds. In former years the appropriation amounted to $600,000 per annum and was ex- pended at the points demanding most imme- diate attention, giving employment to 1,500 men. . The present river and harbor bill makes provisions for the expenditure of $37,500 at Cairo, $22,500 at Cape Girardeau and $75,000 at St. Louis, and unfixed sums at Alton and tife mouth of the Missouri River. The 2 introduced into that por- tion of the bill appertaining to this district were drawn up and inserted without consulta- tion with the men engaged on the work here. THE EFFECT OF THIS may be to bamper the judicious distribution of that part of the money. A consultation with the United States Engineer who has had the work in hand here would have certainly conduced to wiser provisions for expenditure, but it is a fact that concern- ing this important matter the corps here has been in absolute ignorance of the plans for the St. Louis District and still have onl such information as they gathered from the newspaper reports. The work at Alton has been completed, as it also has in this harbor, as far as the require- ments of general navigation are concerned. At Cairo.a considerable balance has been left over from the last appropriation to complete the work. Noimmediate necessity for spend- ing money exists there. In front of this city there is u good channel, and good steamboat landings, so, that there is no immediate need here, though the portion set aside for this point can be advan- 8 used.. Maj. Ernst of the United States Engineering Department was seen at his office at the Custom-house to-day. Con- cerning the plans for work, hesaid: ‘‘Nothing will be done just now. In fact, I don’t think any of the work to be done under this appropristion will be begun before the latter part of September. I do not know except from newspaper accounts what the rovisions are. As soon as I learn his I will submit a project for the expendi- ture of appropriation tothe Secretary of War whose approval it must receive before the work will be begun. Then it will be necessary to purchasg supplies, eto. All our staples, such as rope, nails, etc., are bought on contract.’’ When will the work be commenced?’’ Well the plan of the improvement has been the deepening of the channel of the Missis- Sippi from St. Louis, south to the end of this district. WE HAVE ADVANCED ALREADY about twenty-two miles below here. Some of these works will first be repaired, and then the work of deepening the channe —— will be continued. The sum asked for was over a million dollars as that amount is necessary to complete the work within a reasonable time. The work will be taken * near Sulphur 8 by narrowing the bed of the river. This, of course, recovers a lot of land. The question of ownership of this land has not yet been finally passed upon by the courts. Where small amounts are recovered it has been con- ceded to belong to the gp ons | owner or owners, but where groun is reclaimed atter a heavy expenditure there is a question involved for the courts to passupon. It has not yet been decided, but will probably be this year. At Horse Tail, for instance, a lot of land has been reclaimed, which land is high enough for cultivation. The question of ownership under such conditions is of course an interest- ing and important one.“ IN THE ANTE-ROOM of Maj. Ernst’s office, where the force of clerks and assistant engineers are employed, the news hat President Cleveland had signed the river and harbur bill this morning caused great rejoicing. The appropriation for the salaries of these gentlemen had about iven out and the veto ofthe President would lave necessitated a large reduction of the force unless they would volunteer their services free of charge. Under these circum. stances the suspense as the session drew to a close became agonizing. The news to-day was a greut relief, At noon the force celebrated as exten- sively as the rules ofone ot the strictest branches of Government service permitted. THE NEXT DEVELOPMENT. An Impression the Preparations Are Mak- ing for A. B. Thomson's Return. The return of A. B. Thomson, the defaulting cashier of the Provident Savings Bank, seems to be generally looked for among the most interested parties. This impression gained since Jadge Lubke or- dered the fraudulent collaterals to be turned over to Thomson’s bondsman. It has been strengthened by the fact thata relative of the missing man has for several days been engaged inquiring into Thomson's private indebtedness about town, with a view of paying his debts. At the Four Courts it is understood that no prosecution will be pushed against the cashier, and that the charge made in the Court of Criminal Correction was Only a stalking horse behind which the ab- sconding cashier should escape the notice of the Grand -jury which was in session at the time. Ine discoveries since have to some extent diverted the odium from Thomson, whose action seemsto have been only a secondary cause in bringing b mittee announced the following Executive Com mittee: Bonebrake, member by virtue of Curtin’s Labor Committee.

McDer- meeting of his friends and supporters at Democrats responded, and the Twenty-fourth Ward Democratie Club was organized, with Jim Meegan President and Pat Murphy and Jas. Roche as secretaries. In a conversation with a POST-DISPATCH re- porter this morning tiley said: ‘*We are sick and tired of McDermott and we intend to select a committeeman in his place the ward. We are the stronger faction and practicall control the Democratic vote there. McDermott does not represent us properly and his days are numbered.“ Who will you elect to succeed him?’’ Ah, now you're asking too much.“ In this connection it is said that Mr. Riley is atrifie off in his statements about control- ing the ward. Mac's friends claim to be able todo the same thing, and until @ trial of strength is made it is au open question. Mr. Riley expressed the opinion that the Twenty-fourth will 50 for Martin for Supreme Judge, qualifying the opinion with the state- ment that ‘‘if the Marmaduke crowd force the Sghting for Martin there is likely to be trouble which may end by sending a Henry delegation to the convention.“ The Twenty-fourth Ward Cleveland Club met last night, 150 members present, and B. Guioninthechair. A. W. Alexander delivered an eulogium upon the late Samuel J. Tilden, his death. A QUESTION OF EXISTENCE. The life of the Democratic State Central Com- mittee appears to be a matter of considerable concern to some of its members just at pres- ent. Secretary Mayo, R. D. Lancaster and others claim that they were elected to serve tour years, but Mayo has the good sense to admit that the State convention is a law unto itself,’’ existence of the committee at will. Gov, Bob Campbell, a recognized authority upon such subjects, said to a POST-DISPATCH reporter this morning: ‘‘The State Central Committee the State of Missouri, appointed for the pur- pose of acting upon purty measures in the absence of the party, orto be more explicit, in the absence of the convention. When the life of the committee is considered, it is im- material what length of time was specified in any call which may have been issued relative to the selection of the committee, The call cuts no figure. The committee acts forthe party between conven- tions. When the convention is in session the committee’s power lapses, and every new convention is authorized to appoint a new committee, irrespective of the action of a pre- vious convention. So that the existence of the present committee depends entirely upon ee of the convention to be heid on the th, HONORING THE DEAD SAGE. At 3 o’clock this afternoon the Executive Oommittee ofthe Hendricks Association met in the parlors of the Southern to decide upon a suitable course for the Associa- tion to pursue relative to the death of that distinguished Democrat, Sam uel J. Tilden. To a Post-DIsPpATtcH reporter this morning Maj. Rainwater stated thut in his opinion the association or the local Democrats, either or both, should not only meetand adopt appropriate resolutions, but should also appoint a delegation to attend the obsequies at New York. Messrs. Seth Cobband D. R. Francis were of the same mind, but ghould the Hendricks Association fail to take the action expected of it in that line, itis probable that a Democratic mass meeting will be held at the Exposition hall for that purpose. A SHORT CANVASS. There is considerable talk in Democratic circles of holding the City Demo- cratic Convention us near the date of election as possible, thereby making the campaign a short one. It is said that influence is being brought to bear upon the City Central Committee to set the of the convention about Gov’ner, eh? gous dise cattle down here into the King- 0 date the middle of October. A fifteen days’ can- vass is considered sufficient by candidates who have very little money to spend, but on the other hand some of the more experienced politicians claim that there remains a great deal of registration work to be done and that it cannot be accomplished in that short time. They covnsel moderation, deprecate haste and hold up the spectre of defeat to those hot-brained — sters who imagine that the election is already won. A MOSS-BACK. Henry Newman, ex-Commissioner of Labor Statistics, candidate for the Legislature in Randolph County, who has een stop- ping at the Southern for séveral days, Uustrates the proverbial moss-backism of the average coun Missourian in a little story as follows: ‘*While traveling 2 the country making 0 my canvass, for nomination,’’ said he, oe stopped one night at the house of an old time Andrew Jackson, died-in-the-wool Confederate Democrat.

Unable to Resist His Former Enemy He Goes Back to His Cups—-A Blow to Down Town Evangelization—The Bad Luck of Union Congregational Church— The Old Story. The unfortunate lapse ot a minister from the path of sobriety, his sudden resignationand his quiet departure from the city are parts of a church sensation that has been con- cealed by its occurring about the time of the summer exodus in which the average minister so heartily and frequently joins. With Union Depot dotted every now and then with ministerial-looking gentlemen with carpet bags, it was not to be wondered at that little attention was given to Rev. E. O. Coleman when a few weeks ago he took his place in the ticket-office window and purchased a ticket for a roilroad jourrey. But if the ticket had been carefully noted it would have been a cause of surprise. It is not every minister that can go to Australia for an outing and the fact that Mr. Coleman was bound for that big but far away island would have aroused a periectly natural feeling of astonishment. __ BUT MR. COLEMAN DID so. One day he boarded a train for California with the intention of bringing up in Australia. As the train passed out of the city Mr. Coleman set- tied back in the seat with a sigh of satisfac- tion, as he realized that he was leaving behind him some unpleasant experiences connected with his work in the Congregational Church in this city. Mr. Coleman, until recently, was pastor of the Union Congregational Church at Ashley and Third streets. This church was the out- — of a mission held for several years at iddle and Fifth streets, and was organized about a year ago and Mr. Coleman was put forward for the place by the late Dr. Goodell. Before’ that time he had been pastor of Olive Branch Con- gregatjonal Church, where he had done some pretty good work. When Union Church was organized Mr. Coleman was putin charge. He was a pleasant faced, genial man and seemed to possess the physical vigor and kindness necessary to down town evangelization. He was very quietly transferred from Olive Branch and took up his new and harder duties without a public ex pression of regret. This seemed singular at the time, but it was taken as an evidence that he was such a sacrificing Christian that he would not allow his personal comfort to stand in the way of saving souls. He began in his new field very auspiciously, and the people who had been struggling along with the mission thought they could see day- light ahead. But where they saw light the pastor saw steadily advancing a dark shadow that came nearer. He held two services on Sunday, organized an active sewing- school, took a commendable interest in the heathen, and touched up the temperance question alittle. His congre- gation steadily increased and excepting the annoyances connected with some hoodlums throwing rocks and mud at the church his progress was comparatively smooth. But as the days of last winter lengthened it wus observed the pastor was not himself, that he acted strangely in the pulpit, occasionally losing the thread of his discourse and that he was losing his good nature. Then it was that the shadow crept up till it enveloped the man and gradually CHANGED ITSELF INTO A MONSTER, which clutched the unfortunate minister inits iron grasp and held him fast. Several deacons suspected something was wrong and began to look up his antecedents. They found that in his former career in New York he had contracted the habit of drink which he shook off sufficientiy to enable him to make a fresh Start in the West. They found he had been gradu- ally falling back into his old ways, having even returned ina mild degree to his cups while at Olive Branch. About the time they had gathered together this startling piece of information they were spured the pain of disclosing 4t by the pastor himself. One Thursday afternoon at prayer-meeting he took his accustomed place in the plain little pulpit. The congregation observed that his face bore a peculiar look, that his eyes were heavy and that he leaned heavily upon the support. Those who had just learned of his failing sat back with a look of pity and anxiety, dreading and yet hoping for the revelation that would lift the burden from their shoulders. They didn’t have long to wait. The pastor urose to give out his text for the evening talk, but had scarcely opened the sacred book, when he fell to laughing and then to crying in such maudlin alternation that the truth flashed home to every member. AS SOON AS THE SUPPORTERS. of the church heard of this they demanded an immediate resignation of their pastor, which was firmly seconded by the Dis- trict Association. The united de- mand was effectual and Mr. Coleman stepped down and out. His condition was such that he was placed ina hospital for afew daysand later on was persuaded to go to Australia where he hasa brother about 45 years olf age, several years younger than himself. Since his departure the church has got along in a desultorv sort of way, its pulpit being supplied by the several Congregational pas- tors who have not left the city. This has proved so unsatisfactory that at a meeting this week the church decided to employ Rev. Mr. Allen, a local Methodist preacher, to fill out the month of August regularly until Rev. Dr. Stimson takes the Pilgrim pulpit, when it is expected the down town work will be sys- tematically provided for. The Railroad Question. From the Lexington (Mo.) Intelligencer.

Its rector was MarseliusVon Inghen,and Frederick the Victorious, Philip the Upright, and Louls the Filth respectfully cherished it. At the Re- formation it became the stronghold of Protest- antlearning. The famous Heidelberg cate- chism was the work of its theologians. It was damaged by the Thirty Years’ War, and led struggling existence fora century and a h In 1800 it was raised by Charies Frederick, who reconstructed it under the name of Ru . Carolina. It now has thirty-eight o and twenty-six extraordinary professors. The students average 500 in winter and from 800 to 900 in summer. A large proportion are Eu- glishmen and Americans.

THE ILLUMINATION FUND. Increase in the Franklin Avenue Lights— Encouraging Subscriptions Received. „One of the most convincing proofs of the popularity of the illumination,’’ said Treas- urer Moftitt to a Post-DisPaTcH reporter, ig contained in the latest proposition from Frank- lin avenue to extend the illuminations on that, thoroughfare to Sixteenth street. It was thought at first it would be difficult to get enough subscribed to push the illuminations as far west as Twelfth street and now, behold, the energetic business men over there want more of it and they say they will raise the $1,900 necessary for the exten- sion. Taking the illumination beyond Twelfth street will make it possible to show up the pretty part of the street where it broadens out. Itell you this ought to be all evidence of the truth of my previous assertions that the illumination was never so popular as it is this year.’’ BIG SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Fourth St. . 317 — RESTORED. — Miss Carrie Smith, 1112 Buchanan Street. To a reporter Miss Smith said: „Some time last January I was suddenly taken with an iliness which proved to be St. Vitus’ dance. My limbs became numb. I felt sleepy and my tongue was tied—I found afterward that beside the St. Vitus’ Dance I had been stricken with partial paralysis of the right side. 1 COULD NOT TALK, and almost dropped down when I walked, staggering like a drunken man. I was twitch- ing and jerking all over. My mother took me to see a physician, who told me that I had St. Vitus’ dance. This doctor treated me, giving me medicine for a month. I grew worse, however, so fast that at the end of the month I was no longer able to go and see the doctor; he had to come and see me. My sufferings increased. Late with great di- culty. y arms hung at my sides as if they did not belong to my body. I had almost entirely lost control of my limbs and muscles. My motherthen sent me, under the care of my sister, to Dr. McCoy. She had heard of his success in curing cases other doctors failed to benefit, and she was becoming VERY MUCH ALARMED in my case, as the first doctor had told her that the progress of my disease meant loss of mind and reason. Well, I commenced treatment under Dr. McCoy atonce. Within one week I was considerably better. I continued to improve, and now lam entirely well. My speech is clear and plain, he numbness has left my limbs and I can now run about like other girls of my age. Miss Carrie is 16 years of age and her story can easily be verified.
