To-morrow at 1 o’clock p. m. the great WORLD and POSsT- DISPATCH balloon will ascend from Sportsman’s Park. The long waiting will be over. This afternoon at 1:30 o’clock Prot. Hazen advised the announcement of the ascension for to-morrow. His reasons are given below. He has made the .most thorough study of the atmospheric conditions throughout the country with reference to their influence on this station that has ever been made. The results of thesa studies have been printed daily in the Post- DISPATCH and the last one is printed to-day. To-morrow at press time Prof. Hazen will be above the clouds. The work of filling the baloon will begin to-night atthe Park. This afternoon the balloon will be taken to the Park. The work of filling is described below. It will bean interesting oper- ation but will not bea spectacle for the public. The public will not be admitted to the park until 11 o’clock to-morrow morning. The bal- loon will ascend at about 1 o’clock, although the arrangements provide for the ascension between land2o’clock. This will probably be made necessary by the buoyancy of the balloon. The further arrangements will be foundinacompact form below. The follow- ing is Prot. Hazen’s card: WAR DEPARTMENT, SIGNAL SERVICE, OFFICE OF OBSERVER. St. Louis, June 16, 1887, 1:30 p. mn. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Unless something now entirely unforseen should intervene, the present condition of low surface and upper air currents will continue and probably will be improved. In all human probability, if there is not too much wind for the inflation, the great air-ship, for whose sailing many have been anxiously looking, will cleave the air above for the first time between 1 and 2 p. m. to-morrow. As predicted yesterday the favoring conditions have changed only for the better. The high pressure area to the east has gradually swung to the south, allowing all currents on its northwest side to flow with the motion of a clock’s hands to the northeast. Thelow pressure area which was central at the last writing at the point of intersection of the boundaries - of Dakota, Montana and Wyoming has moved very slowly eastward and was central over central or eastern Dakota this morning. At 8 p. m. yesterday the wind had freshened to twenty-six miles per hour from south at Moorhead, to thirty-two from south at Valen- tine and twenty-four South at North Platt. Yesterday morning there were but four places with Southwest wind, while this morning there are fifteen. The upper currents are get- ting squarely into the west and southwest and by to-morrow noon will probably be from the west or southwest over the whole country north of St. Louis and ,east of the 100th meridian. The following are the indications at this writ- ing: 1. The high pressure area to the east- ward will continue in its southward course, and having lost all its action asa barrier will give only favoring breezes to the east and northeast. 2. The low area to the north- east will advance nearly due east and will be north or a little northeast ot the city; its ac- tion will probably be to give a strong upper eurrent if not a surface wind from the southwest or west. 3. The high area in the west will advance slightly eastward and, if anything, will add to the other favoring conditions. It should be re- marked that the proximity of the storm area so near to St. Louis is of the most extreme in- terest from a meteorological standpoint, The man who can make a balloon that can be sus- tained for forty-eight hours in the center or on the flanks of a storm area, either at 1, 000 or 6,000 fees elevation, will give meteorology an incalculable advantage in its search after the laws of storms. From observations of winds on Mount Washington, 6,300 feet high, during the passage of storms, it has been de- termined that there is almost a uniform and very areat velocity of the wind toward some eastern point. It has been pretty well estab- lished that the spiral movement of the surface wind inward toward the centerof the storm, in a direction contrary to the motion of clock- hands, continues several hundred feet above the earth’s surface. At what point does this motion give way to thé eastward motion? At what distance from the storm’s center? What is the action in front, right, left or rear, ete. These questions might be multiplied many fold, and no answer except an imaginary theoretical one can now be given to almost all of them. The question has already arisen: ‘‘Will not the golden op- portunity slip by if a delay is had till to-mor- row?’’ Certainly the present southwest wind of aboutten miles per hour seems very in- viting, but it should de remembered that the contemplated voyage is to be in the upper air current, which influences the lower surface wind, but is not affected : This upper current has not become fully es- tablished yet, and when it is there is little * | Goabe bus dint Sb WON eunthons ton busaipeseus Ladies should go early to get seats. hours at least. That is to say, any time now after twelve hours and lasting for twenty-four hours a balloon is likely to enter the upper current at its maximum velocity, and, if it once enters the current, it wil be wafted at that velocity and willbe kept in it as long as the motion continues, which may be for seventy-two hours. The question will undoubtedly arise in some minds, is not there too much haste, and ought there not to bea far - ther delay? To this I would say, No! I think the upper current will reach its absolute max- imum within twenty-four. hours, and will hardly keep up a very great velocity more than twelve hours before and after that time, so that a delay after to-morrow at 1 p. m. would de hazardous.

Precautions Taken Against Accidents to the Voyagers’ Appartment. The experiences of a balloonist while pre- paring for a voyage are not always pleasant, A consumptive within a few weeks of the grave is told on all sides that he is looking like a prize-fighter. The man who is suffering from incurable heart-disease is daily assured that his affection is cheated out of its victim in nine cases out of ten by some everyday com- blaint after a long life. A general syvmpath seems to extend to all except the robust bal- loonist who contemplates an ascension. On leaving him, his friends, who are too delicate to express their apprehension, take a farewell of such unusual sincerity that it is evident they think it will be the last. Others tell him how much pleased they are to be themselves and not him. All seem to take it for granted that he is going to his end. In this strain Aero- naut Moore solilloguized as he worked at his car yesterday, suspending it in acradle of rope, which was 2 down the sides ot the car just back ot the seats and looped so as to hang the carfrom the ring. ‘‘Each one of these small ropes,’’ said Moore, pointing to the ring ropes, ‘‘is capable of sustaining hun- dreds of pounds, but the feminine portion of an audience will feel more secure if they see these big ropes holding the car. In addition to this reason the arrangement of the ropes is made for additional security. They are passed through four cross boards at the bottom of the car and brought up back of the seats inside. Should the car be broken through any accident these ropes will hold it together, while the board and rope frame will sustain the immense weight at the bottom of the car. Prof. Moore has no apprehension of any ac- cident that will call the ropes into use, but for security makes the arrangement. —, n HOW IT IS HANDLED. Preparing the Big Balloon for Its Long Aerial Voyage. The big balloon is now at Armory Hall where it is inflated and turned from time to time so that every portion of the immense bulb will be cooled by contact with the fresh air. A newly varnished balloon rapidly gen- erates heat, and if long neglected in 4 close compartment would soon be destroyed by spontaneous combustion. In the morning a bell-shaped tubing near! a foot in diameter is introduced at the nec like an immense stomach-pump astride which Assistant Tallmadge sits and gently pulls the sinking folds toward him. As the last cubic foot of hot varnish-laden air puffs through the funnel the big bag ing the’ and is ready for geen 3 on the balloon for in- flation contract that requires patience um, skill. By pulling and tugging at it from various points the balioon is laid flat, but its immense surface is still trav- ersed by little elevations filied with air and rising from the flat surface like veins. Each of these must be trampled flat by men in stocking feet, gees from the center to the valve and the neck in two lines. After all the alr is expelled in this oy ur the big envelope is folded lengthwise * turning flap on flap from the outer edges. hen in its most compacted form it requires the united efforts of forty able-bodied men to lift it from the ground. It must be handled with the 8 care during its transportation as it — easily receive damage which would t it for its flight. “On Grand avenue just outside of Sportsman’s Park the sixth-inch gas main of the Laclede Gas-light Company running ps dihewag the east side of the avenue has been connected with the four-inch main on the west side, and from the point of union a main „ acity of delivering 16,000 cubic feet of gas our has been laid into the park.

The Banker Claims Half the Deposits and Demands More Margins—Kershaw & Co. Sue Rosenfeld for $2,000,000—Falilure of John J. Bryant & Co.—Numerous Attach- ment Suitse—The Situation in New York and Milwaukee. CHICAGO, III., June 16.—A local paper says: O. J. Kershaw & Co. will meet all demands for margins made upon them to-day, notwith- standing their failure to go through the clear- ing-house yesterday. The money is in the American Exchange National Bank to their credit and will be checked against as fast as demands are presented, so that if the stability of the market is dependent upon that firm meeting its obligations, as many claim, no violent fluctuations can be ex- pected to-day.’ The announcement of the firm’s domplete solvency comes in an official way, and from sources that cannot be ques- tioned, although permission to use names is denied. The parties making the statement stand close to the firm and to the officers of the bank in which the money is deposited, and are thoroughly familiar with the inten- tions and resources of Messrs. Joseph Wil- shire and J. B. Hoyt, the representatives of the Cincinnati end of the great wheat deal. THE STATEMENT IS AS FOLLOWS: | „C. J. Kershaw & Co. received a large sum ot money yesterday morning, and as soon as business opened up began meeting the de- mands made upon them. They paid out several hundred thousand dollars and ex- pected to liquidate every dollar of indebted- ness, but shortly before noon saw that they would be compelled to let another night go before they paid out any more, know- ing, too, that it would perhaps result in some embarrassment, but yar rege ing that they would not have throw up the sponge. The arm/ has positive assurances of ample backing day. The report that Rosenfeld began sit against Kershaw is a mistake. The rumor doubtless grew out of the fact that Lindblom began a suit and garnisheed the bank (the American Exchange National) laying his dam- ages at $25,000, although it only involves a check for $10,000. Rosenfeld has commenced suit against Wilshire & Eckert, but he has not garnisheed the bank. The bank is not connected with the suit, neither is Mr. Ker- shaw or his firm.’’ RELIEVING THE. TENSION. This statement means a great deal to the trade in several respects. In the first place, it is in the nature of a promise that the demands, approximating $600,000, which will be made upon the firm to-day, will be paid in fun $800,000 having been paid yesterday. This will tide over the large number of small houses which are now hanging in the balance, and, by permitting them to make their settlements in full, will at once relleve the tension and goalong way towards restoring confidence inthe trade and determining the stability of the market. It will certainly re- lieve the suspense of the firm’s creditors, all of whom were dumfounded yesterday when they learned that the house had failed to clear out, as they were led to expect the contrary from the announcement made early in the morning. THE MONEY. With reference to the amount of money de- posited yesterday morning, and the amount received and deposited later in the day, or to bd deposited this morning, it is learned from an authoritative source that the Cincinnatians brought $300,000 with them, and that $600,000 more will be available to-day. The total amount, $900,000, jt is believed, will cover all of Kershaw & Co. s liabilities and again put the firm on its feet. te THE BANKS ALL RIGHT. In general financial circles the second day the panic was even more quiet and unevent than the first. The fact that Chicago ban were solid was so evident that the boldest the numerous rumor-mongers could find not ing to work up a sensation about. Tre seemed to be no doubt that all the ba have demanded wide margains on their wheat — or that the collateral now held them is more than sufficient to save them from losses. This opinion is freely 2 by all the leading bankers of the city. banks have not kept the condition of their books to themselves, but have prudently let one another know st how they stand.

When court opened it was found that Frank R. Whitcomb and John Casserly, two of the panel of forty-seven jurors selected in the case were not present. The State and defence made their challenges and neither side objected to the two absentees, so that they were thus placed onthe jury of twelve to try thecause. As time passed and the men failed put in an appearance, efforts were made to have one side or tue other challenge them and accept a couple of other jurors, but Circuit-Attorney Clover and Mr. Bishop representing the te, and D. Castleman Webb and A. W. Alexander, attor- pers for the defendant were equally obdurate and none of them could be.indu challenge the men. A physician’s had been sent by Mr. Casserly‘showtmngithat he had been severely injured by being thrown out of a buggy, and was under a pbysician’s care. An attachment wag issued for Whitcomb, ana the Sheriff, who was sent to serve it, re- turned with the information that the sent juror was in st. Charles, Mo, was noon when Judge Normile, after orde the summoning of twenty- jurors for 3 o’clook this afternoon, took a recess until that hour, the defense ing to waive the forty-eight hours allow them in which to make their challenges. When Mr. Whitcomb returns to the city he will no doubt be given afew days in j for contempt of court. Judge Noonan’s Docket. Frank Lanitz stole a set of harness belonging to P. C. Moffitt out of the Missouri Street Rall- The harness was worth over $30, but its value was placed at $25 in order to have the case disposed of before Mr. Moffitt leaves the city for the summer.

THE QUEEN ALARMED. The Central News makes the following an- mouncement: ‘‘The Queen has become alarmed by the reports that the police had discovered that dynamite plots had deen arranged to be car- ried out during jubilee week. The Home Office authorities were angry be- Daus the police disclosed information about the existence of the plots, and called upon them for an explanation. The po- lice, as an excuse, said they made the matter known in order to deter desperadoes from carrying out any plots which they may have formed, but, acting un- der superior orders, they now declare that the only persons they have been watching are Casey and his foltowers, of whose movements they have kept themselves informed.’’ JOHN BRIGHT’S APOLOGY. . Mr. John Bright bas written to Mr. Giad- stone an apology for inaccurately quoting his , Swansea speech, and accusing him of talking of Ireland ‘‘as if there was no province ot Ulster, the fact being that Mr. Gladstone made long and distinct references to Ulster and ite peculiar interest in the Home Rule @aestion. Mr. Bright says he made this *‘‘somewhat inaccurate quotation from memory. He adds, ‘‘I still contend, how- ever, that there is no hope in Mr. Gladstone’s promise to consider the case of the Ulster Protestants in this plan of settling the Irish question. Mr. Gladstone must know that any plan of dealing with the Protestants apart from the rest of the population of Ulster is impossible. The recent astounding revela/ tions made by the must Times have increased dread of Ulster to be subject to Parnellite rule.

Mr. Lloyd maintains that Michael Davitt and the other agitators who have in- cited tenants to resist the collec- tion of rents should be imprisoned, and adds: „These Irish outrages should be nipped tn the bu@ by firm men knowing and using the powers which the law has conferred upon them.’’ * Scotland.

Hatrrax, N. 8., June 16.—If the dispatches from places along the Cape Breton coast can be relied upon, half the American mackerel fleet are in imminent danger of being capt- ured. There are only four cruisers out among the fleet of nearly 100 Americans. Mackerel are very plentiful, mostly inshore, and, as cruisers are few and far between, the American skippers, of course, «do not hesitate to take fish wherever and whenever they can do so with apparent safety. seen taking mackerel close in shore, near Louisburg, and that a trawl had caught 900 quintals of codfish with bait obtained from Magdalen, has had the effect of waking up the sleepy fishery officers, and they have dis- patched the cruiser Critic to the locality in hot haste. A report come from Neil’s Harbor that twenty American seiners were fishing in that vicinity yesterday without the slightest regard tothe three-mile limit and that two vessels have their seines within less than a mile of the shore. Local fishermen endeavor- ed to ascertain their names and thus furnish information to the fishing and customs officials to insure their capture, but this was balked by the American skippers, who had taken precautions to carefully conceal the names of their vessels by coverings of canvas. The facts, however, have been tele- phed to headquarters and the fast flagship cadie left Georgetown yesterday without making der destination public. The . proba- bilities are that the Acadie will skim along the north shore of Cape Breton and swoop down upon the Yankees in front, while sailing cut- ters will cover their rear. AGAINST TOTAL PROHIBITION. OTTAWA, Ont., June 16.—It is reported that Sir John Macdonald threatened to resign if the House of Commons adopted the resolution in favor of total prohibition. While no individ- ual case of coercion is cited, still Sir John's reported threat is said to have had consider- able effect on his followers.

DUTY ON CANADIAN HORSES. In the House of Commons yesterday Mr. Gilmour called attention tothe fact that the United States Government have stopped Cana- dian horses from passing into the United States in bond, to perform temporary work, and parties taking their horses from such work must now e and pay the duties.

EXCITEMENT OVER THE ORDER TO RETURN THEM TO THE SOUTH. Grand Army Men Throughout the United States Demanding That the President’s Order be Rescinded — Gen. Fairchild, Commander-in-Chief, Curses the Author of the Order—Excitement Locally on the Subject — Ex-Confederates Believe the President’s Action Injudicious. Early this week Gov. Lee of Virginia made public a letter from Adjt.-Gen. Drum, U. 8. A., in which he said: The President of the United States, having approved the recommendation that all the flags in the custody of the War Department be re- turned to the authorities of the respective States in which the regiments which bore them were organized, for such final disposition as they may determine, I am instructed by the Honorable Secretary of War to make you (in the name of the War Department) a tender of the flags now inthis office belonging to late 2 organizations of the State of Vir- ginia. In discharging this pleasant duty, I beg ron will please advise me of your wishes in his matter. It is the intention, in returning each flag, to give its history, as far as it is pos- sible to do so, stating the circumstances of its capture and recovery. CLEVELAND DENOUNCED BY FAIRCHILD. The publication of this order aroused bitter feelings among the veterans. These feelings first found public expression at the reception tendered Gen. Lucius Fairchild, Commander- in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, by Alexander Hamilton Post,No. 182,G. A. R., at Association Hall, in Harlem, N. J., last night. Gen. Fairchild, it is reported, hardly waited for the usual preliminaries before bursting forth with a terrible denunciation of the President’s act. „May God palsy the hand that wrote the order. May God palsy the brain that con- ceived it, and may God palsy the tongue that dictated it, he suid. The General told how those flags had been won by the veterans of the G. A. R. in open conflict with the enemies of the nation. he veterans had placed their trophies in the care of the War Department. They were intended,he said, to be kept in the archives of the nation as mementoes of hard-won fields of battle. He continued: ‘‘How can the present loyal Gov- ernors of the Southern States accept emblems ot treason after their professions of loyalty to the Union? Must they not return them tothe Secretary and say that they have nothing to do with the flags, asthe rebel organizations are extinct and their Governorsare dead?’’ Gen. Fairchild said that he had frequently listened to sentiments which caused him to bite his tongue in the effort to maintain self- control. In nine months past he had visited G. A. R. posts in every State in the North, East and West. He had never in any post meeting heard anything but kindly feelings expressed toward the men who had looked into the gun- barrels of Northern troops during the war. As Commander-in Chief he had tried to encourage this kindly feeling. Now this was changed. The time had come to speak in the name of the organ- ization. If he could not protest against it as Commander-in-Chief of the G. A. R. he would resign and protest as a private citizen. But he was satisfied that 350,000 G. A. R. veterans would rise as one man in solemn protest against any such disposition of the trophies won at such a fearful sacrifice of blood. Raising his only hand, the General said: ‘‘I appeal to the sentiment of the nation to forbid this sacrilege.’’ THE GRAND ARMY PROTESTS. The remarks of Gen. Fairchild and of Cor- ral Tanner, who followed him, were greeted with wild cheers. The following resolutions were offered and adopted: WHEREAS, The President of the United States having approved the recommendations that ali the battle - flags in the custody of the War Department belonging to the Southern States in rebellion during the late civil war be returned to the respective states which bore them for such final disposition as they may determine be it Resolved, Thatthis Post views with sur- rise the action .f the President, and records ts protests thereto and Resolved, That the sacrifice of blood which the captured emblems represent, was a sacri- — to liberty, national union and to God, and, Resolved, Thatno sentiment of generosity and no expression of magnanimity is involved in the surrender of these covenants of national honor and Resolved, That it only now remains to direct that the battle-flags of the Union be distributed among the representatives of the so-called Confederacy, and as a fitting acknowledgment of the righteourness of the lost cause; and, Resolved, That this Post expresses its dis- approbation of this act of the first President of the United States who has held office disasso- ciated from the memories of the war for the Union. PROTESTS FROM THE STATES. The Governor of Iowa sent the following telegram last night: Dis MOINES, Io., June 15. To * President of the United States, Washington, D. C. Isend herewith a request made upon me as Governor of Iowa by the Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic in this State against the proposed returnto the South of the war flags captured by the Union troops during the rebeliion. I add to this request, as a protest of the surviving Union soldiers in lowa, the respectful, but equally urgent, pro- test of the people of the State, and shall deem it my duty to use all proper endeavor to pre- vent any such return of battle flags captured by Iowa troops. signed WMA. LARRABEBR. ov. Foraker of Ohio forwarded to Washing- ton a protest from the Ohio veterans made through the Department Commander of that State and in his telegram he said: ein transmitting this message I desire to comply with its request, and do most earn- estly protest against the action which it re- lates. ped pew — people of this State are shocked and indignant beyond anything I can express. learnestly request you to revoke the order that has given such unqualified offense.’’ At the same time Gov. Foraker tel- egraphed Gen. Boynton to take legal advice and enter proceedings to enjoin the return of the flags captured by Ohio troops. — — — LOCAL EXCITEMENT. Veterans of the G. A. R. and Ex-Confed- erates Condemn the President's Action, There was a great dealof excitement locally over the President’s order. Hardly any other topic was discussed in the street cars this morning, and on hange and in business cir- cles the feeling was intense. The expressions ot opinion among the members of the Grand Army of the Republic ran from wild condemnation to fierce denunciation. Some condemned the President without ‘stint and termed his action an insult to the veterans and in fact to the entire United States. Others criticised the speech of Gen. Fairchild, made at Harlem last evening. There was no difference of opinion on tbe subject of the President’s issue the order. It was ge con- ceded that the President acted without authority in giving away what is held to be the prope of the vernment. There was a woful ignorance, however, of the circum- stances surrounding the issuing of the order. Man of those, who ave had faith in President Cleveland in the past stuck to it that he must have had some authority from Congress, that he would not have thought of acting without it. They united however, in conaemning the order if it was made without authority. Ex-Confeder- ates shook their heads when the subject was mentioned and expressed profound regret that the President should have taken what they considered an injudicious step. : ON ’CHANGE. There were several groups on Change this morning discussing the question with more or less warmth. Gen. D. P. Grier and Col. Johu B. Gandolfo were the center of one little nh The action of the President is very much to be re ‘*As I under- stan it, po Governors of the different States to ington with the idea that they would be preserved there by the War Department in a special room in cases of glass. These flags are trophies of victory, taken from a former enemy. They belong to the Governors of the States do they not? That's what I under- stand. The President has no right to give them away to anyone. ‘It's an insult to the whole United States, which he represents, said Col. Gandolfo. Those cost us‘biood. I know y 2 me blood. It shows what the President It will interfere with our Encampment, I am afraid,’’ said Gen. Grier, **partioulariy it. the President comes out here. It will create such a feeling, I am afraid, thaf the President and the Grand Army could nog come together in the same town. „„Oh, let him come here if he wants to,’’ said Col. Gandolfo. ‘‘Where we want to talk about this thing is at the ballot-box. This is — — thing that ever happened for the Re- ublican party.’’ * Yes said Gen. Grier, it means the dowfall of the Democracy. You could not elect Cleveland to any office in this country now, and they li find they ‘can’t elect his suc- cessor.on the Democratic ticket either.’’ ‘COL. DYER’S OPINION. A Post-DIsPaTcH reporter stopped Col. D. P. Dyer on the street and asked him what he thought of the order. ‘‘I do not see,’’ said Col. Dyer, by what right or authority the President issues any such order. He has no right to return those flags, just as he has no right to return eapnou captured d the war without a special act of Congress. The Presi- dent cannot isene any such order. I have been too busy to read what was printed on this subject before, and my. attention was first called to it by the firing On the order in this morning’s papers. ; „To what do you attribute the President's action?’’ »I hardly know what he means by it, unless he wishes to wipe out all the relics of the war. But he has no right to act as he has. If those flags are returned, it will raise the very devil all over this country. They are trophies of war captured from an enemy, and they belong to the United States. A. G. PETERSON Commander of Ransom Post, 8. a. R., said: „do not see what right the President has to take this action. It is bound to make trouble. What the local poste will do not say. have had half indignant men in my morning asking me to call a special meeting. The next regular meeting of Ransom Post will be Saturday week.’’ Do you think there will be a mass- meeting — 9 Army men called to enter pro- at * Joannot say. GEN. D. C. COLEMAN said: 1 do not understand the President's authority for this act. It required a special act of Congress to take the names off our flags. The President might just as well order the flags we captured in the Mexican war sent back to Mexico. I do not think the posts bere will take any action inthe matter. My post— Harding—meets to-morrow night in North 8t. Louis.’ A well-known Grand Army man said: ‘‘Last night should have been one of the times when Fairchild bit his tongue to keep from saying too much. He certainly had provocation for something strong, but what he said was far beyond bounds.’’ A member of Frank P. Blair Post said: Wait till we hold our meettng Monday night. There will be music there. We are 750 strong and we will have something to say about this order. MAJ. C. C. RAINWATER, representing the Confederate side of the ques- — was asked his opinion of the President's order. J think you will find,’’ he said, that Congress passed a law permitting the return of these flauvs to the Southern States. I know the matter was discussed in Congress two or three years ago, and while I am not certain that such is the case I think a law was enacted per- mitting their return. This seems to me largely a matter of sentiment. After the war Con- — passed a law distributing arms to the tates, andI dare say they are carrying the same muskets in many of the States to-day that we handied during the war. This matter af the flavus was brought to the attention of Congress by the action of a Virginia reg ment in returning to a Northern command a flag captured during the war. They met, if vou remember, in Alexandria and had a very pleasant reunion and interchange of friendly sentiments. Quite anumber of swords and other relics were returned at that time. The request for these flags certainly does notcomefrom the South. We surren- dered them withouta wish ever to see them again. We have no wish to have them re- turned. Our organizations are broken now and we would not know what to do with them. We have no use for them on God Almighty’s earth and I for one say that if they are not to be used for the pur- poses of peace and harmony, by -—, destroy them. hey gave me trouble enough for four years.’’ S. W. COBB said this morning: ‘‘The action of the Presi- dent, unless authorized by Congress, was very injudicious. I am sure we do not want the flags. The ladies of my county gave us a flag, which was captured, ithink, at the second battle of Fredericksburg. That flag is in Wash- ington now and | wouldn’t give 2 cents to have it back. Ihave no useforit. Iam very sorry that the President has taken this course. — —— — THE PRESIDENT’S IDEA. Adjutant-General Drum Explains the Order Restoring Rebel Flags. New YORK, June 16.—A Washington special to the Post says: ‘‘Adjutant General Drum is the only person in authority here, who appears disposed to talk about the order relative to the return of the rebel flags. He has a good right to speak, for it is quite certain that the idea originated with him. Gen. Drum has these trophies iu his charge. What his share in the matter is; can, per- haps, be best learned from the following in- terview: Gen. Drum, you are going to return to the Southern Stetes all the flags, standards and colors which were captured by the Union army from the Confederates during the war?“ „We are going to return them to all the States, North and South. The President has recommended that it be done, and lam now having full lists made of all these trophies in possession of the department. In a short time we shall have the whole collection so assorted and separated that we shall be ready to forward to every State in the Union, whatever flags belonged to State volunteers which fell into the hands of the Federal and into the possession War Department. I am a complete inventory of them made out, with written statements to tell briefly as far as known the history of each trophy and the story of how It came to be cap- tured. All this literature will be completed and the trophies will be ready to be forwarded to their owners in a few weeks. When the President expressed his approval of this proposition did he do 8o in writing?“ The Adjutant did not give a direct answer to this question, but intimated that possibly when the list of the flags returned, and their histories were given to the public, a letter from President Cleveland on the subject might also be made pubiic. When did the President determine that these flags should be returned?’’ „During the week of the National Drill. This action is not due to any pressure or any suggestion from any outside sources. The idea originated with the administration. It had been in contemplation inthe Department for some considerable time. Gen, Drum, of course, speaks only of the President.in regard to this action, or, if he speaks of another, it is only to say that the proposition was made to the President by Secretary Endicott at a Cabinet meeting when it was unanimously approved. A WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT. An official at the White: House, authorized to speak on the subject, said this morning: Gen. Drum seems to be the person to ta about this matter. There has been no order nor any paper of any kind signed by the President relative to it. The idea originated in the department and bas been carried out by the department. Butthe action of the department is 1 here and that seems to de about all there is to say about it. None of the Cabinet officers who were ap- roached desired to say anything un the sub- ct, as it was not under their depart- ments. The Secretary of War was not accessible this morning. There is no doubt, however, that the President and Cabinet gave théir formal sssent to the original suggestion of Adjt.-Gen. Drum. WISCONSIN'S PROTEST. MILWAUEEE, June 16.—A special to the Even- ing Wisconsin from Madison, Wis., says that Gov. Rusk, who is greatly roused by the determination ofthe Administration to return all rebel fags to the original Southern com- — from which they were taken, has sent a etter to Adjutant-Gen.

Two Colored Neighborhoods Cleanéd Out By the Constables To-Day. Constable James Manly to-day, assisted by his deputy, Wm. Barr, conducted a wholesale eviction from negro tenements. His first call was at the brick building belonging toW. J. Goodin, at 909 Christy avenue. The house, a four-room affair, was occupied by the families of Wm. Hale,Sam Hendricks, Julia Nevins, Brooks R. Pe and Parnell. When the constables entered the yard a pro- longed bow! from a big negress known as Aunt Julia warned the community of the ap- proach. „We have come to put you out, Sam, said Manly to Hendricks. ‘*I ain’ goin’ to move, Sam smiled in reply. Lou kin put me out but I won’ go fah.’’ There was an air of temporary residence about some rooms—everything was in piles.

Y., June 16.—The Musical As- sociation of Buffalo was compelled to pay the railroad fares of the American Opera Company so that they could fill the advertised engagement to-day. Last Monday morning Toeodore Thomas called at the office of one of the members of the Association and desired a personal interview for the 2 of making a personal explanation. r. Thomas said thatasthe name ofthe Buffalo Musical Association had been given to this opera performance it was due to the Association that it should be informed asto the terribly embarrussed condition of the National Opera Oompany. He said that so far as he was per- sonaily concerned he had not been able to get his salary for months, and that no one had suffered as keenly as he over the condition of things; that he had been the victim of gross injustice; that he had remained with the company because he had felt that were he toleave iton its California trip it would be hard on the poor members ofthe ballet and chorus, who would be left hundreds or thousands of miles away from home. LABOR NEWS. The Backbone of the Great Coke Strike Broken To-Day. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 16.—The backbone of the great coke strike was broken to-day by the Hungarian strikers at the Sterling and Jimtown works of Schoonmaker & Co. returning to work at the old wages. It is un- derstood that the Hungarians had a meet- ing yesterday and ecided to waive their demands and xO back on the 3 terms. This virtually set- tles the strike, as these are 4,000 Hunga- rians in the region, and the natives will be forced to follow or lose their situations. The operators are preparing to resume, and by next Monday it is expected that all of the 12,000 men who have been on a strike for the past three months will be at work. ABOUT TOWN.

MORE LIGHT ON THE VEXED SUNDAY LAW QUESTION. The Brewers Not Satisfied With Regard to the Date—Meetings of Brewers and Po- lice Board To-Day—The T Joseph G. Lodge Declares tense Impregnable — What the Hoteles Will Do—The Loss to the Liquor the Law’s Enforcement—Notices to hibited Places. | The Sunday law still remains Bios as a topic of discussion among not only those whose pockets are to be distinctly affected by it, but by those whose throats are to kept dry, and whose Sunday amusements arg to be interrupted by dlue- coated, brass - but - toned officers of the law. Notwithstanding what has already been stated with re- gard to what places will be closed, and Vice-President Blair’s statement to the effect that all not included in the order of the Police Board could rest easy without fear of molesta- tion, many people do not seem to understand the scope ofthe order. Many inquiries have been received at this office with regard to closing grocery stores, and Mr. Blair referring to thein said that while grocery stores were especially mentioned in the law, the Board had not specified them to the Chief-of-Police, and, unless they were bar-rooms under the cloak of groceries, or - intoxicating beverages* were sold at them, they would not be disturbed, nor will any store where the necessaries of life are kept, or even the news-stands where cigars and tobacco are sold, be molested. The members of the Board, say they are going slowly on the law and will not go outside of their order and disturb the regular modes of life and the business of the city as little as possible. As to amusements,only the public places where admission fee is charged or where liquors are sold will be disturbed. WHAT ONE CAN DO. The man, therefore, who does not sell liquor or keep an amusement piace can be, compara- tively speaking, comfortable. He cannot get his worning cocktail at the saloon, but he can have his drink out of his private bottleor at his club, and can stop on his wayat a drug- etore and wash it down with asoda or a vichy. His wife or his mother can send out and buy bread at a akery, or meat at a butcher-shop, or groceries at a dry grocery ; she can buy all the ice and milk she wants and while he cannot go to his Sun- day base ball games unless Chris Von der Ahe knocks the Board out he can go to the livery stable, hire a rig or hitch up his own convey- ancs and take his best girl or his family to the country or the park; he can get his bath, his shave und shampoo, his newspaper, take a ride on the street cars, in a cab, carriage or omnibus, stop ata hotel or get a lunch in the restaurant, pull out his patent prayer -book and take nipsany time, he can havea physician call or get buried if he feels like it, buy a railroad ticket, send a velegram, get a shirt and collar laundried, and while he is debarred from the theater, can get all the gasor electric light he wants in the evening. These items cover a large share of a man’ wants, and City-Counselor Bell was rathe kind in bis enumeration of the necessities. It is believed that on a pinch a man might buy underwear, furnishing goods or a suit of clothes. But drinks at a bar are shut out. THE QUESTION OF DATE. It is just possibie that new light and further instructions may be thrown on the question by the police at the meeting held this afternoon at3o’clock. The meeting isforthe purpose of. continuing the Leon trial, but the Sunday law may be brought up again on some motion or question. r. Blair said it was hardly possible that the order already issued would be changed in any way as the Chief of Police had probably already issued his instructions to the force under 18. One phase of the question will certainly be brought up y the brewers who met again in Secretary Stock’s office this morning and discussed the matter of the date. They are firm in the belief that the day on which the law should go into effect is Monday, the 20th, and not Sunday, the 19th. In order that the question may be formally settled, and that all means of stponement may be exhausted it was decided to send a commit- tee to the meeting of the Police Board this aft- ernoon to ask an opinion on the subject. The committee appointed was composed of Mr. A. Thoman, Ss the saloon-keepers,and Messrs. W. J. Lemp and Phil Stock, who vis- ited the Board this afternoon. There can be no question of the opinion of the Board. City Couselor Bell a se declares that the 19th isthe day, and in addli- tion to what he has already said in support of this opinion, he uotes an opinion of the Attorney-Gene of the State in 1877, in which a similar question was decided in favor of the Board’s position. Vice-President Biair on this ques- tion says that there can be little doubt, as Sunday in Jegislation is as any other day, un- Tess it is particularly specified. In the doin of specific acts, such as in contracts, the las day if itis Sunday is excepted, but all other Sundays count in making up the specified time, but in the case of a law going into effect on Sunday, if the last Sunday does not count no other Sunday can count, and more than this the law is applicable to Sunday in partic- ular and. there be no reason in not counting the first Sunday. THE TEST CASE. It is scarcely possible, that the law will not be tried next Sunday, although the question of the date may figure inthe trial of the first case. Mr. Joseph Schnaider — he will open his garden as usual, and either he or his manager, Ricbard Fisher, will be arrested by the police and the test case will be made. The brewers will be represeuted by J. C. McGuinness and Joseph G. Lodge to defend the case. Mr. McGuinness isin Jefferson City, but Mr. Lodge was seen by a PoSsT-DISPATCH reporter to-day and was asked with reference to the defense. ‘‘We do not intend to give out our defense, he re- plied, until we get into court. Thisis the conclusion we have reached and I do not wish to say what the defense will be. I will say this, however, that we have talked the matter over and our case is simply im- pregnable, I would be willing to stake any- nan that if a presse were on the jury he would throw up his hands and say that it was impossible to decide against us. Mr. is hilariously confident of success. He says they will probably not bring up the date — tion, but will try the first case on its meri THE HOTELS. There has always been some doubt as to whether hotels have not a right to serve liquor to their guests on Sunday under a gen- erul Sunday law, but atest casein New York was decided against the hotel men. Manager Lowis and Mr. Allen of the Southern, were not decided what the would do this morning, but were considering the question and Mr. Allen said there was no use in raising itat all. He will decide, however, before Sunday. Mr. Howe and Maj. Chass of the Lindell, when asked what they would do an- swered promptly that they would close the bar entirely and would not allow a drop of liquor to be sold in the hotel. The same answer was iven at the Laciede, lanters’ was not in the city. certainly all be closed, and it is a) n that no liquor will be sold in any hotel under any circumstances. 1 LOSS TO THE LIQUOR TRADE.

It is the duty.of the diseur de rieres to pass the number of hours that bis customers think nec to their sal- vation on his knees in front of the relic of the saint, and he must repeat the prayers and from time to time punctuate them with a kiss on the og of the glass that protects the relic.

FAIRCHILD of the Grand Army of the Republic has a bad abit of losing his temper when his position demands that he should keep cool. Wr willingly give the Police Commis- sioners credit for good intentions in their construction of the Sunday law, but they seem to have arrived at the spirit of the law by ignoring ite plain letter. n . -_ Enn . A GREAT many interesting legal ques- tions will be raised in connection with the Sunday law. Our advice to everybody is to allow these questions to be settled by the courts, and in the meantime to pre- serve that good nature and respect for the rights of others which are such marked traits in St. Louis character. As Sr. Lovis grows we expect an in- crease in the police force, but an increase of the appropriation in a single year of $58,000 is something against which the needs of the city protest. The Council can safely cut off half of the proposed increase and transfer it to the sprinkling appropri- ation, for which seventy-six thousand citi- zens have petitioned. ; 1 * Tun Rahway murder, which com- pletely baffled all the exertions of the authorities, detectives and reporters of New Jersey and of New York City, has been confessed by the murderer unger the romptings of remorse. Such confessions re always subject to suspicion, but in instance the confession appears to be uine and veracious. n — n. — = Tun recent flurry in wheat has served to illustrate the advantages of the evening paper in the dissemination of the news. Those intelligent people who take the Post-Dispatca had full particulars of the two days’ exciting incidents about sixteen hours ahead of the few slow peo- ple who wait for the morning paper. We fail to notice a single item in the struggle which was not first published in the even- ing paper. at Be In giving his version of the disturbance at the Socialist picnic last Sunday, Herr Most complains that he was denied police protection. Inasmuch as Herr Most has for several years been endeavoring to de- prive the peaceful and law-abiding citi- zens of this country of the benefits of police protection his complaint sounds strangely out of place, but nothing wor- ries an Anarchist so much as a small dose of anarchy. A New Yor« Herald correspondent who is said to be ‘‘a woman deepin the confi- dences of Chicago’s most refined society,’’ announces that a literary man of emi- nence amd ability has been retained to write a novel in defense of the Chicago girl. The line of defense to be adopted will not be complete unless drawn so as to include the divorce court records with the other amazing footprints which the girl aforesaid is in the habit of making on the sands of time. ‘Councitmas Rowman is entitled to the credit of an interesting discovery in con- nection with street crossing by steam rail- roads in large cities. While the citizens — une elevated roads are horse-scarers. This sympathy for the feelings of the horse is admirable, but if Mr. Rowan’s travels should lead him as far as New York he would find in that city a great many horses pursuing their customary avoca- tions unterrified by the railway above them. 2 THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION, The Interstate Commission has issued a further lengthy statement of the unan- imous conclusions of its members as to certain questions about the meaning of the law and their duties under it, They decide that their temporary sus- pensions of the fourth section shall end with the ninety-day limit; that no more such suspensions will be granted, and that the railroads must construe the law for themselves at their own proper peril, subject to such punishment as the Commission or the courts may impose for any acts in viola- tion of the law. But for the guidance of all concerned certain conclusions of the Commission in regard to the interpreta- tion of particular clauses are set forth as far as the Commission deems it safe and proper to go. The gist of these con- clusions is that the burden of prov- ing dissimilarity of conditions and circumstances will be on the railroads when they set up such dissimilarity in jus- tification ef differing rates; that competi- tion may, in some es and to a limited extent, be considered as an element of dissimilarity; that no dissimilarity of cir- cumstances and conditions can be pleaded as a justification of rates in themselves unreasonable or discriminations in them- selves unjust; nor the fact that long-haul traffic will only bear certain rates be ac- cepted as a good reason for carrying it for less than cost at the expense of other traffic. There is also a distinct intimation that the law will be construed so as to en- courage competition rather than destroy it, and such principles are laid down for adjusting rates in accordance with this purpose of the law and with proper reference to the cost of service and to the earning of fair compensation that the railroads should have no serious trouble in keeping within the requirements of the law. That they are not trying to do so, but to evade it rather, must be evident to the whole country. Appeals to the reme- dies afforded by the new law will, how- ever, fromtime to time bring from the courts and the Commission decisions that will eventually put the law in force 80 effectually as to give us a fair test of its workings. ——————_o—— ⁊ù—— —- — DRAWING THE LINE. In the forum of conscience every man feels competent to draw for himself the Sunday law line between works of thrift merely and those of necessity or charity. Each draws the line, of course, according to his own tastes, habits of life, personal necessities and views ROOT rest and relaxation, and therefore hardly any two, either as citizens, as officials or as judges sitting on the bench to apply the laws as rules of conduct, ever draw lines alike. There are conflicting judicial decisions on both sides of the Sunday law line drawn by Counselor Bell and the pres- ent Police Commissioners of St. Louis. There are judicial decisions for and against barbershop work as permissible under the Sunday law. There are judicial de- cisions for and against the sale of tobacco and cigars on Sunday, and there are de- cisions holding that while the ordinary tippling shop business is contrary to the Sunday law, the traveler or innkeeper’s guest may be served with spirits by his licensed landlord without a violation of the Sunday law, he being competent to decide for himself what is necessary for his health and comfort on Sunday as on any other day. But practically the local police authority is our censor morum in such matters,and we | have to submit to its decisions so far as the same may be sustained by the courts. It can to that extent draw the line as crooked and enforce so much of the law as it chooses, and leave the rest unenforced, regardless of reason, morals or public order. It can suppress innocent games and connive at the most pernicious forms of gambling. Itcan deprive the masses of harmless and healthful relaxation and refreshment, while permitting obviously more immoral indulgences to more favored classes. : All the people can do in such cases is to criticize and submit to the decisions of those in authority. The trouble is that where the decisions are such that they can not command the approval ofa majority of the people, public opinion is sure to as- sert itself in acts of contempt for author- ity,in evasions and violations of law, which reflect discredit upon popular self-gov- ernment, ; | nnn K — | =~ * 82 For a time running further back than the memory of the oldest inhabitant the police authority of St. Louis has treated the dramshop business as a work of ne- cessity and charity, and therefore exempt from the operation of the Sunday laws. So long as they had no legal authority to close ten or a dozen beer-garden Sunday resorts our Police Commissioners kept 2,000 dramshops open in St. Louis on Sunday contrary to law. So soon as the law authorized them to close the beer-gardens also, then, and not till then, gould they be induced to enforce the Sunday law against the dramshops. With the beer-gardens closed, the guard- lans of our moral welfare no longer feel constrained to keep 2,000 dramshops open on Sunday, contrary to. law. as an antidote to the soul-destroying seductions > - . ~ that lurk in the groves of Gambrinus in the witching forms of smear-case, beer and pretzels. Tux cfroular sent out by Comrade S. M. Davis of Farragut Post, G. A. R., asking Union veterans to petition Congress for ‘‘the establishment and maintenance of ‘national homes for indigent, maimed sol- “diers of the late armies of the so-called “Confederate States,’’ is no doubt a well- meant effort to promote a charitable end, and at the same time to show the good feeling existing now between the gray- haired men who met as enemies in the smoke of: battle twenty odd years ago. But the indigent cripples referred to have no more claim on the United States for homes than for pensions. The doc- trinaires of the State Rights school would be the first to tell them they should look to their own States for such manifesta- tions of charity or gratitude. Whenever we remove the barrier that limits the pension list to military services rendered to the United States Government, or per- mit its Treasury to be treated as a charity fund at the disposal of Congress, we open the door to more abuses thanany man can foretell or enwmer ate. Wr hope that the accomplished pho- tographer who will make the trip with the WoRLD and Post-DispaTcH balloon will not, in his trip across the States, observe any cracks or lines of separation, rupture, fracture or division in this great country caused by the innocent exchange of cour- tesies between the City of St. Louis and the President of the United States. Sev- eral vociferous fanatics who are them- selves all torn up the back’’ by this city’s invitation and its acceptance are trying to create an impression that the whole country is split up over it and that the split can be plainly seen. We do not believeit, but at the same time it is our misssion to report the facts and our pho- tographer will go up specially commis- sioned to observe if the country is visibly rent in twain, andifsoto photograph it truthfully. — unn _——— _ = THE laws of Missouri which forbid a citi- zen to expose any article for sale on Sun- day make no exception in favor of the newspaper, and, while it may be lawful for a carrier to deliver a paper on Sun- day according to contract, it is plainly unlawful for our esteemed contemporaries to expose for sale on Sunday mornings their attractive publications, and the newsboys are as guilty as the proprietors of the Sunday papers. The situation isa painful one, but we see no escape from it. —— — ee en THE Chicago editors who are showing a most unchristian spirit towards St. Louis over the Cleveland invitation will proba- bly feel worse than ever when they realize that in the recent wheat flurry St. Louis speculators were generally on the right side and will carry away as much of the assets of the ruined Chicago bulls as may be discoverable and recoverable. This little reflection enables St. Louis to en- dure with composure the somewhat acrid animadversions of the Chicago editors. — —— — —=s- - Mr. Adams in Kansas City. From the Chicago News. Mr. Phil Luce, alias Lucky Luce, one of our most prominent gamblers, has been spending a week in Kansas City. He returned to Chicago yesterday morning and brought interesting reports of great doings in the booming capital of the Kaw. It was all a lark, said he. I had a wager with one of the boys, and I won it.“ Hearing one of his friends complain of the expense of living in Kansas City, Mr. Luce wagered $500 that he could live a week in first- class style in Kansas City on $10. He let his whiskers grow out,arrayed himself in a Prince Albert suit, put on a somewhat rustic plug hat and borrowed a worn Russia- leather valise and started for Kansas City. In one hand he carried a well-thumbed volume of Col, Jim Lowell’s poems, and in the other a dark-blue silk umbrella. He registered at the Coates House in Kansas City as Mr. Adams of Boston.’’ He had not been in town more than half an hour before distinguished citi- zens began calling upon him; all had real estate for sale. Pleasanter gentlemen he had never met in all his life; they took him driv- ing, dined him and wined him, trotted him about over the city, and showered every con- ceivable attention upon bim. He didn’t do very much talking for fear of giving the snap away. His reticence had a most impressive effect. ‘‘Mr. Adams of Boston’’ became the lion. And he did notspenda penny. Several times he was on the eve (so to speak) of plank- ing down several hundred thousand dollars for certain corner lots, but somehow or other the negotiations managed to fall through. Last Friday night he slipped up into a faro bank and won $300; early next morning he started for Chicago with $278 ahead of all ex- penses. The Innocent Purchaser. From the New York WORLD. The talk about ‘‘innocent purchasers’’ has grown wearisome. Nothing can be done, we are told, in regard to the past sins of the Union Pacific Rallroad Company, because the stock is now in the hands of innocent pur- chasers, who, to render the situation more pathetic, are alleged to be mainly widows and orphans. Nothing can be doneto recoup the city for its loss by the Broadway corruption, because the railroad has passed into the hands of innocent purchasers. Some of the Man- hattan stock is also in the hands of innocent purchasers, who are not responsible for this grand gouge on the people, and hence the company ought to have the Battery. The innocent purchaser has become the shield of so much corporation rascality that itis high time that his use in that capacity were putanendto. The innocent purchaser who finds himself with an imperfect title to real estate is treated with no compassion whatever. In fact, he is not credited with existing. A man who buys real estate is sup- posed prima facie to have taken all risks to its ownership. The purchaser of securities should look for their weak points and liabilities in the same way. And, if necessary, the inno- cent purchaser should be made to suffer to in- culcate this important moral. The princi- ple of caveat emptor is of universal appli- cation. . So long as corporation bribers and thieves can rub out the record of their transactions with the convenient sponge of the innocent purchaser and pocket their plunder in sur- . ity so long wilt the innocent purchaser con- tinue to be thrust forward asa shield to pro- tect robbers. ) Cows Are So Thoughtless, From the Dakota Bell. We feel that we must say a word on the habit the cows of Sioux Walls have of wandering around in the night and calling on prominent citizens. To bave along, hollow-chested milch cow introduce her head into our bedroom win- dow at 2 o’clock in the morning and attempt to converse with usin alow, auxious tone, is far from pleasant. And when she crooks her neck around and grabs the corner of the bed- spread and pulis the whole thing out of the window, and then goes and site down on the flower-bed and calmly chews up the spread, it is calculated to make a person use harsh lan- guage. Twenty Million Pounds of Paper. From the Paper World. This isa prodigious amount of newspaper, but it is what the New York WORLD is ready to contract for this year. The quality is to equal that now in use and the demand for the paper will be nearly thirty tonsa day. Bids are to be mhde at once. These 10,000 tons of news paper would never be wanted if they could not be used, and they never could be used were it not for fast printing- presses, for cheap mails and for dirt-cheappaper. Withoutthese three accessories no newspaper could send out 200,000 copies a day at two cents a copy, or ata net price generally of a little over one cent. Lord Tennysen Twice Paid. From the London Truth. Lord Tennyson is reported to have received £700 from Messrs. Macmillan for his extraor- dinary jubilee ode. Now the Poet Laureate receives a salary of £W0a year and a butt of wine for writing such odes for the British na- tion. Oan it be, then, that Lord Tennyson has sold the property of the British nation to Messrs. Macmillan for £700? If so, of course, the money will be paid into the treasury; so the country may be fairly congratulated on having for once made an excellent bargain. MEN OF MARE.

The Tribune says: It is possible that the anxiety of the Tory Government to get the coercion bill safely through the House of Com- mons isthe sole foundation forthe report of the alleged discovery of dynamite plots against the Queen. Tne report is highly im- probable. It is a fit supplement to the forgery of the alleged Parnell letters.

Yet such an act might plunge the priest into wretchedness compared with which the state ot poverty alone would be a heaven. THE PEOPLE’S FORUM, The Carriers’ Sunday. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Your paper is the people’s friend. Let me bring to your notice one act of the people’s’’ oppression. Letter carriers are required by the dear people, to work in the delivery of letters eleven to twelve hours of hard work daily ; besides, every third or fourth night, or in some instances every night, they are re- quired to go out collecting between 10:30 and 1 o’clock inthe night. But this is not the point I wish to make, which is, that while other people have the privilege of going to church on Sundays these weary carriers are com- pelled each to be at his own station office be- tween ll and 1 o’clock every Sunday in order to deliver the mail to returning church-goers clergymen und others, who cannot wait until Monday morning. So these carriers are de- prived of attending church on Sunday morn- ings by the piety chiefly of church-goers. Is there not self-denial, true piety or something else inthe dear people's hearts sufficient to relieve these overworked, faithful servants and give them their day of rest? ONE OF THE DBAR PEOPLE. The Base Ball B uffoon Must Go. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Iam more than pleased with your published sentiments of Miss Helen Dauvray the actress, upon the ungentlemanly, nay, un- manly system of coaching in some of the base ball games. Ihave visitedthe ball parks a few times and was beginning to get quite interested and might soon have become enthusiastic, for, studied closely, there are strong points in the game; but I was recently much annoyed, with * others, at the childish clatter kept up by a well known member which, in a great meas- ure, detracted from the beauties of the game and confused the visitors to the injury no doubt of the Association, ifkept up which I trust it will not be.

BV Telegravh to the Post-DrsPaton. BALTIMORE, June 16.—A special correspond- ent of the Post-DISPATCH sent from New York, with a request for that favor, was yes- terday accorded an extended interview by His Eminence, the Cardinal-Archbishop of Balti- more. Noone who has enjoyed the rare priv- lege of a personal interview with this able prelate can fail to have been impressed with the grace of his conversation, the kindliness of his manner and to having gained an insight into the nobility of his life, which makes him honored of all men, and beloved of Protestant and Romanist alike. A prominent Baltimorean and non-Catholic made a remark in my hearing to-day which I find is characteristic of the feeling which is universally entertained towards him by citi- zens of all classes and castes, and which on this account I give: We only learned, he said, ‘‘how active the Cardinal was in good works when his presence wasfora time withdrawn from us, or rather it was only then that we began to appreciate how little we could afford to dis- pense with him. I could hours in merely enumerating startling instances of his benevolence and charity, which have come by chance under my personal notice, but I prefer to be silent, for how would it benefit to prove what is patent to all? All sufficient to say that his kindly sympathy is always extended towards those who sorrow, and that many who were walking in the shadowy ways ofsin, have heard his kindly voice calling tothem and saying, ‘Jean Val- jean, my brother.. GLAD TO BE HOME. Tes, said His Eminence, bidding your correspondent to be seated, ‘‘I am indeed glad to be at home once more in my beloved Balti- more. During my travels [haye seen many fair cities, and eyerywhere I have found a wel- come more hearty than I deserved, or in any way expected, but it is almost needless to say that Baltimore, the city of my birth and of my boyhood, is dearer to me by far than all of them, and though I would in- deed be an ingrate not to have been pro- foundly touched by the kindly feelin of generosity shown by the inhabitants of Eu- ropean cities toward the stranger within their gates, I can not — — my sensations there to the grateful feelings which surged in my heart and almost overcame me when last Tuesday I saw the streets of our city thronged with thousands who had assembled to honor in my humble person the Holy Father, who was pleased to raise me to so lofty an office.’’ THE M’GLYNN CASE. For a moment the Cardinal ceased speaking and gazed outof the window with his eyes resting fondly upon the old Gothic Cathedral jutting up before him in all the grim gaunt- ness of lichen-covered and e-stained granite. „Jes, he continued, musingly, ‘it is not strange that I should so love Balti- more. I was baptised in that cathedral more than fifty years ago. There I received my rst communion, there I took holy orders, and there I have labored to the best of my ability for many years. In regard to Dr. McGlynn’s rebellion to su- perior ecclesiastical authority or of the labor question the Cardinal said that it was not within the province of his position to speak in any form. Many words have been put in my mouth by others, concluded the Cardinal, ‘‘which never fell from them. The only state- ment lever made in regard to the labor ques- tions in this country was contained in the re- ort which I handed the Holy Father in ome, concerning the organization known as the Knights of Labor. This clearly defines my position.’’ THE EUROPEAN TRIP. As to his experiences in Europe the Cardinal said: ‘‘First of all, I must speak of the Holy Father who has recentiy honored this arch- diocese in my unworthy person. Though he is deprived of his temporal E it can be salely said that to-day he exercises more power over the civilized worldthan any King or potentate, and although he has no military power to back him, his words are more con- ducive to peace than the actions of all the standing armies of Europe. in his case it can be truly said that his voice is mightier the enjoys the and ot 250 , 000 , 000 Oatholics scattered hout the length and breadth of the world, and he has the respect and esteem of our separated brethren who have not failed to 2 his many personal virtues, his benevolent charac- ter and his broad, statesmaulike views. He has a special regard for this republic of ours and the citizens of the United States which was amply demonstrated during my so- journin Rome. At that time there were numbers of Americans in the city, all of whom, very naturally, wished to see the Holy Father. I mentioned the fact to him at the next opportunity, and im reply he said he would indeed be much pleased to see them. When the visitors were afterwards presented they were charmed by his presence, and went away favorably impressed witwall that he had said and strengthened with God’s benediction upon them. other illustration of his love for Americans was shown on Ea esday when all the Cardinals then in Rome paid their respeots to His Holiness.

The reference to Nihilists may perhaps be considered as particularly significant in view of Dr. McGlynn’s recent and not unfavorable ressions concerning them. hen a Roman Catholic prelate is elected a member of the Sacred College it becomes in- cumbent upon bim to furuish in his dlocesan residence a chamber to be known as the Pope’s chamber and never to be occupied by any other erson than His Holiness.

Thus it will be clearly seen that the rule giv- ing batemen a base hit—unearned and gratui- tious—for a base on called balls, will be ohanged in response to very general condem- nation by the public and press. The majority of the players themselves are in favor of its a * abolition, and their only regret is that at the end of the season when the official batting averages are published, that a false estimate will be given the actual batting abilities of @ach man.

As to the four.strike rule, it has no particular antage while its disadvantages are many. is a muisance to catchers who are well trained in the business, and its change to the three-strike rule will be gladly welcomed. Outside of these two objectionable features, the new rules this season may be set down as an acceptable innovation, beneficial alike to the public who pay to see their interpretation — to the player who is paid to interpret em.

The Brooklyn Eagle publishes the following interview with Mr. Phillip Dwyer: Tremont, the great unbeaten son of Virgil and the favor- ite in the betting on the Suburban, which will be run on Saturday at the Sheepshead Bay race track, will not be a starter in thatclassic event. He will, however, try to capture the Emporium stakes at Sheepshead Bay on June 80. Since February the one question amon the » pyre Sh agg ed has been, “Wil Tremont start in the Ssubuar- ban?’’ and despite the fact that the Dwyer brothers discouraged the would-be backers of the borse, and the further fact that it was known there was some trouble with his feet the public has clung fondly to the belief that he would start. o settle the question be- yond any doubt, an Bagle reporter yesterday saw Mr. Phillip Dwyer.

THE FOURTA CLAUSE, A Mammoth Opinion by the Interstate Com- merce Commissioners. Wasuinoton, D. C., June 15.~—The Inter- state Commerce Commission last night ren- dered its decision on the fourth clause, which prohibits greater charge for transportation of passengers and property over a shorter than over a longer distance in the same direction under substantially similar circumstances, The commissioners say the railroads must themselves decide what are substantl- — 4 similar circumstances since no tribunal is impowered to act until after the carrier has acted. However, for their cuidance, all the questions raised are summarized and answered as follows: 1. The prohibition of the fourth section against a greater charge fora shorter than for a longer distance over the same line in the same direction, the shorter being included within the longer distance, as qualified there- in, is limited to casesin which circumstances and conditions are substantially similar. 2. The phrase, ‘‘Under substantially similar circumstances and conditions,’’ in the fourth section, is used in the same sense as in the second section, and under the qualified form of prohibition in the fourth section, and car- riers are required to judge in the first instance with regard to the similarity or dissimilarity of the circumstances and conditions that for- bid or permit a greater charge for a shorter distance. 3. The judgment of carriers with respect to circumstances and conditions is not final, but subject to the authority of the Commission and the courts to decide whether an error has been committed, and in the case of complaint for violating the fourth section of the act the burden of ey is on the carrier to justify any departure from the general rule prescribed by the statute, by showing that the circum- stances and conditions are substantially dis- similar. 4. The provisions of section 1, — pw ie that charges be reasonable and just, and of section 2, forbidding unjust discrimination, apply when exceptional charges are made under section 4, as they do in other cases. 5. The existence of actual competition, which is of controlling force in respect to traffic im- portant in amount, may make out dissimilar circumstances and conditions entitling the carrier to charge less for a longer than for a shorter haul over the same line inthe same direction, the shorter being in- cluded in the longer in the following cases: I. When the competition is with carriers by water, which are not subject to the provisions of the statute. II. When the competition is with foreign or h are not subject to the provisions of the statute. III. In rare and peculiar cases of competi- tion between railroads which are snbject to the etatute, when a strict application of the general rule of the statute would be destruct- ive of competition. 6. The commission further decides that when a greater charge in the aggregate is made for the transportation of vassengers or like kind of property for a shorter than a longer distance over the same line in the same direction, the shorter being included in the longer distance, it is not sufficient justification therefore that the traffic which is subjected to such greater charge is way or local trale, and that which is given the more favorable rates ts not. Nor is it sufficient justi- fication for such greater charges that short-haul traffic is more expensive to the carrier, un- less when the circumstances are such as to make it exceptionally expensive, or the long- haul traffic is exceptionaily inexpensive, the difference being extraordinary and suscepti- ble of definite proof. Nor that the lesser charge on a longerhaul be merely a continua- tion of favorable rates under which trade cen- ters or industrial establishments have been builtup. The fact that long haul traffic will only bear certain rates is no reason for carry- ing hy for less than cost at the expense of other traffic. The decision in full would oceupy nearly ten columns of the Post-DISPATCH. BOONVILLE’S BOOM, Citizens Excited Over the Prospect of a Di- rect Line to St. Louis. Lon V. Stephens came down from Boonville this morning to have a talk with 8. H. H. Clark of the Missouri Pacificin the interest of the citizens of his town, who are agitated over the abandonment by the Missouri Pacific of the projected line from Boonville to Jefferson City. As originally planned the company contemplated the construction of a road from Jefferson City to Lexington via Boonville. The k on the Lexington half has progressed ¢o far thatthe road bed is read y for rails, while the right of way had been bu partially obtained for the Jefferson City half when the work was abandoned. Missouri Pacific people have said at Boonville that Gould has purchased the Missouri Central. and instea of going from Boonville to Jefferson and thence to St. Louls a bridge is to be ut across the river at Boonville and the Missouri Central tapped there for St. Louis. We want to know,’’ said Mr. Stephens, ‘‘just what the Missouri Pacific will do. Our town is baving a quiet boom now, and if we could have a few firsat- class funerals the boom would get up on its hind legs and bumpitseif, The location of the State Reform School there, prospect of good crops and a railroad are helping us to good business. Some of our people seem afraid of a boom, though, and by their bickering and obstruction keep things from brightening wonderfully. We've got a good town, though, and prospects for a live one some day. A MANLY BEAUTY. Nicholas Smith, the Devoted Admirer of Mary Anderson, at the Southern.

On their return to the city and ere when. a pistol to kill him- At 9:30 a. m. to-day the commencement exercises of St. Vincent’s Seminary, cornerjof Grand and Lucas avenues, began. The pretty entertainment hall, with its lace-draped win- dows, was crowded to its utmost capacity with guests, representatives of the oldest Catholic families ~« ‘in the city. Over the platform the motto, ‘‘All’s well that ends well, was outlined in June roses of every color. There was but one graduate, yet the exercises were ofa very interesting char- acter, consisting of music, essays, recitations, exercises in Delsarte system and the bestowal of prizes. The programme opened with a triumphal entry march played by four young ladies, Misses Mary Keane, Kate Cleary, Ellen Oleary and Kate Oarten, during which the pupils, uniformed im fleecy white growns with blue ribbons, entered by a door at the back of the platform and took their seats. This was followed by a well-executed chorus, The Huntress, in which all the pupils took POs. Then came a distribution of 7 — y Rev. Fathers Neithart and Feber. On the Blooming Meadows, a piano quar- tette performed by Misses Hortense Poulin, Fannie Papin, Mary Keane and Lottie Oarten followed. A cunning little recitation, ‘‘Cluck, cluck,’’ oy Sve little maidens, Misses Marie Seanlan, ay Martin, Lily Handlon and Grace Cunning- ham No. 1 and Grace Cunningham No. 2, mppeates to the good nature of the audience. The recitation was under the direction of Miss Mary Hogan, and elicited rounds of applause. A performance of Guttechalk’s Last Hope, by Miss Lelia Burke, showed unusual skill and poetic feeling. A recitation, ‘‘Mary, Queen of Scots, in unjson by Misses Maud Gre q Lelia Burke, Fannie Oarr, Birdie Dunievy Nannie Thomas and Grace Miller, was well rendered. The vocal quartette, ‘‘A Voice in the Tranquil Night,’’ by Misses Lelia McOord, Rosalie Fusz, Lelia Burke and Birdie Dunlevy, was one of the most entertaining numbers, and displayed not only great natural abil- 7 but excellent training. iss Hogan’s clase in the Delsarte system then gave a very interesting exhibition of ‘‘Esthetic gymnastics.’’ Premiums in painting, drawing, penmanship, music, French and German, were distributed to the fortunate winners by the Rev. Father Brady, after which Miss Mel Flanagan gave a piano selection from La Fille du Regiment. It is great praise to truthfully say the execution equaled that shown by Miss Burke. Miss Grace Stewart recited ‘*The Bells, by Poe, with excellent effect, and Miss Rosalie Fuss sang Concone’s „Judith“ ina very artistic manner. Liszt’s Rhapsodie No. 2, a piano quartette, was one of the most effective numbers on the programme. The young ladies taking part were Misses Lelia Burke, Mel Flanagan, Hortense Poulin and Fannie Papin. The Kev. Father Brady then with a few brief but appropriate remarks awarded the gold medal to Miss Lelia McCord. That young lady was a perfect picture and in ber quaint attire might have posed asa model for a canvas of the lastcentury. She received her honors with blushing dignity and made friends of the entire audience. THE ONLY. GRADUATE. Miss McCord, the only gtadame, then read an essay under the title of ‘‘A Study.’’ Under separate heads it treated of music, beauty and lite. The effort was above the average com- mencement offusion, and gave evidence, not only of considerable thought, but a most care- ful attention to diction and construction. From the reading of her 1 Miss McCord passed easily to the deliyery of the 8 which she recited and in which she had an opportunit of displaying — as an elocutionist and giving a partial expression of the sentiment and feeling of which her work showed her to be possessed. The young lady was crowned with a gold and silver wreath and upon her neck was placed a chain from which was suspended the gold medal so lately won bearing upon it the incription: In testimony of bav- ing passed through the i senior class with highest bonors, and for amiable and correct department, St. Vincent’s Semi- nary, June 16, 1887.“ On the reverse side, „Delia May McCord.’’ The same triumphal march which heralded the opening was then played, and the pupils made their exit with the same quiet order in which they entered, leaving behind them the ineffaceabie record of the year and carrying with them the memories that time will soften — blend about their girlbood like a framing alo. Miss McCord, a blonde, wore a very artistic gown of pure white faille, with Grecian dra- peries of white crepe fallingin deep points over the tablier and looped high at the sides. The deep-pointed corsage was outlined with soft Grecian folds; crossing at the waist and placed high on theieftside was a cluster of whites apple blossoms; frills of lace were gathered close about the throat. She was sup- ported on either side by two of the under- graduates in pure white toilets of India muslin. . ART EXHIBITION. In the studio adjoining the assembly-room was displayed upon the walls the work ot the pores uring the past year. Many of them ae shown great industry and considerable talent.

A winter scene, andtwo heads, one of a stag, the other of a dog, and another beautiful panel, By the River Side. Miss Mary Pickei, an art pupil, has some admirable works in oll. One of them is a large marine piece, aforeign bay, with ships and smaller craft at anchor; another, The Scottish Mill, and a third large piece, The Fox,’’ a scene by the water edge, with wild fowl, and a fox lurking in the marsh. She hfs also an admirable likeness of her grand- mother in crayon. Miss Emma Hutchenson has a brass tam- bourine with a moonlight scene, two plaques framed in plush, one with an autumn scene, the other a winter. She hasa large oil painting, a Swiss chalet by a mountain stream. This pupil, who has been a very industrious student, shows also two handsome panels, one of them a seacoast and the other a mountain ravine in California. Miss Marie Warne bas two pleces in oll, both of them excellent. One of them is the head of sa deer peeping from the hemiocks and holly; the other a plague upon which is paiat- ed a winter sunset. Miss Agnes Kehoe, an art pupil has exhib ited in her studies a great deal of talent, par- ticularly for figure work. She has a painting, ‘*Twilight,’’ the face of a young girl peeping out from the misty, roseate clouds of evening, with the crescent moon above her head. nother, in pastel, of the Immaculate Con- tion, which is very excellent in drawing The other, the head of a gipsy tractive in drawing and celor- iss Birdie Lancaster, a demoiselle not over M4 years, has four very pretty pencil sketches.

Gumpert, the Pine Z Goodman, who had the scrimm night at Lightstone’s Hall, atthe meeting of Sherwood tle, K. G. R., had their disturb- ance cases continued to the %th. Max was ready for trial, but the other side wanted more time. Mrs. Gumpert was on hand show- ing her right hand in a badly bruised and swollen condition, the result of a blow. She says she received it from Goodman. It is said that warrants will be sworn out in several cases not yet heard from in the K. G. R. case. The Max Gumpert side seems to have the best of the fight so far, as they claim to yet hold the much-fought-for charter. So many conflicting stories were told re- garding the matter that no correct idea of the affair can be arrived at. A PoOsT-DISPATCH re- = who was in attendance on the meeting ast night. and in court this morning in expec- tation of fun, found ali quiet between 8 and 9 last night. In the hall were only about a dozen members in quiet possession, apparently not expecting the raid that was made upon them, On the Ist a meeting is to be held at Light- stone's of all the city Castles, and it is sup- posed that the Grand ommander of the order will be here from Louisville, Ky. As Max Gumpert’s standing in the order will be considered at that time, his opponents seem to wish to take advantage of any adverse decision before the Police Court trial comes on. Max saysit isa personal fight between himself and Edward Nathan, the Grand Com- mander of this State. Max says he wants to improve the moral tone of the order, Dut as long as Nathan admits objectionable charac- ters it is lowered instead. COMMENCING June 19, the ‘‘Vandalia Line and OC.

By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. NIAGARA FALts, June 16.—Carlisie D. Graham, the hardy cooper, made his third voyage through the whirlpool rapids yesterday. The trip was attended with great peril and only the navigator’s nerve and presence of mind saved his life. At ( o’clock in the afternoon there were tremendous crowds along the river banks and on the bridges. The Grand Legion of the Select Knights and the Ancient Order of United Workmen’s Union here yesterday brought a score of excursign trains and thou- sands of strangers into the village and Graham’s voyage was the event of the day. Down at the ‘‘Old Maid of the Mist’’ landing the barrel was launched and was anxiously watched by the cooper and his friends. Nothing more moist than the atmosphere of dime museums and sa- loons had touched it for many months and the cask leaked badly. Because of this and for lack of perfect arrangements with the proprie- tors of whirlpool parks and bridges, Graham and his manager, E. R. C. Nolan, decided to abandon the plan of riding, Mazeppa-fashion, on the outside ofa barrel, The announcement was quietly made, but such a howlof disgust was raised that Graham declared he would go through anyway, and soon stowed himself in the bottom of his long cylinder. There was ne hammock to support him, and only two straps to hang on by, but at 5:300’clock he shouted pluckily LET HER GO!’’ and the cask was towed out into the stream. The man-hole cover was not hinged and the last words of Manager Nolan were, Don't raise the cover till you are sure you are all right. Three minutes later the yawl boat cast off its tow and the cask, standing straight up in the water, started slowly down stream. At 5:36 o’clock it struck the main current and three-fourths of a minute later danced under the cantilever bridge. As the barrel passed beneath the suspension bridge a shout was raised and a dozen enthusiastic ladies dropped their corsage bouquets in the wake of the craft which by this time had reached the great hollow wave where the whirlpool rapids begin. Up on the long swell it traveled, and then down with a plunge and then on again, spinning like a cork and again hidden from view under the green waves and the cloud of spray. Only once did the barrel up-end, and then it quickly righted and sped on. At 5:44 o’clock, just fourteen minytes from the start, the cask entered the great whirl pool, and the entire circuit of the pool was made in seveu minutes. The watchers at the Canadian point neglected an 9 to capture the cask, and it floated slowly about and then a sudden current carried it nearly to the centre of the pool. Constable Andrew Horne, Manager No'anand otheis who were close to the water’s edge tried to notify Gra- ham of his danger. A dozen shots from a ro- volver were fired, and at last the man-hole cover was pushed up and Graham’s head pro- truded. There was no possibility of replacing the cover, and should he be carried down the lower rapids the great ves would fill the casketand drown him. Graham realized his danger and could hear \ THE SHOUTS OF WARNING. Awaiting a favorable turn which brought the barrel a little nearer the shore, he climbed out and dived towards ore. The barrel half turned over and shipped considerable water. Ed Flanders, Freddy Quinn and an- other man had been hired by Man Nolan clothes. Clad dived off a huge rock, and with long, po strokes swam towards the now almost ex- hausted cooper. Graham was pulled under the surface once, but bobbed up a few. yards away and swam bravely. en Horne reached bim both men were in bad shape, but they persevered, and at last the variabie cur- rents, which had opposed their efforts, tarned and swung both the swimmers in close to the shore. Horne ging Graham to ainted. The brave constable was not in much better shape, but copious draughts of brandy revived him.

By Telegraph to the Fosr-Diera ren. IRA, III., June 16.—A week ago last Monday a young man, having the general appearance ofafarm hand, walked into town and asked for some one who spoke German. He was directed to the blacksmith shop of John Bow- man. He told Bowman that he had com- mitted a great crime, that it haunted him and that unless he was ar- rested he would shoot bimself. He then related the story of the — 4 (N. J.) mur- der. He said that he anda Swede, whose name he did not remember, meta girl, whom his companion called Clara, in the outskirts of Rahway in the dusk ofan evening in March. The girl started to run and his com- jon struck her down with a club. He imself then took out his pocket-knife and cutthe giri’s throat. had no reason for doin it, at ed the ing under the and hardly responsible for his actions he fol- lowed his example. Bowman sent for Russell, the station agent, who called in J. W. Conley, the constable. At OConley’s request, the man, who gore his name as Casper Stumbeck, reduced his confession to writing. It was written in German. Conley then put him un- der arrest and took him to Saiem, the county seat, where he has been in custody ever since. The Rahway authorities have been commu- nicated with and they are expected with a requisition for Stumbeck any day. STUMBEOK’'S STATEMENT. The Post-DISPATCH correspondent went to Balem yesterday and talked with Stumbeck. He is a small man, of light build. His head is surmounted with a heavy shock of light hair, while a blonde stubble of several weeks owth covers his chin. His eyes are sunk eep in under heavy overhanging brows. His general expression is 5 d he does not like questions. He refused talk to the Post- DISPATCH correspondent, but he finally gave some monosyllabic answers to questions put to him. Caspar Stumbeck, he said, was his real name. e had once gone under the name of Charles Edelman when working fora house of Ui-ftame kept by Jac Knecht, 117 Canal street, New York. His business, he said, was playing masicai instru- ments in saloons and other places. He met the Swede whom he knows as John“ on the train while on his way to Rahway, X. , He was drunk at thetime. John asked him to go to a cer- tain place to make music forhim. He went with bim. On the outskirts of the town they met the girl Clara. By what arrangement the meeting was heid he did not know. He did not know why she was attacked. ‘‘Jonhn’’ truck her first and then he cut her throat. He was too drunk to know much about it. He went back to New York and after a time started West beating and pay- ing his way. He was looking for work when he _ strayed into Iuka. He had sold the knife with which the murder was committed to a farmer in Vincennes. There were no blood-stains on it and no biood on his clothes or hands aiter the murder. THE ACOOMPLICE. The New York and Rahway authorities are on the lookout for Stumbeck’s accomplice. The authorities at Salem telegraphed to them last night an address in New York where Stum- beck says he has a trunk.

Charges of Irregularities in Office and Vio- lating the Laws Regarding the Purchase of Seed forthe Department of Agricult- ure—A Strong Statement by Phillip L. Reeves, a Leading Seedsman of New York —All Purchases Made From One Firm. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. O., June 16.—The seed- growers of the United States, now in session at Philadelphia, pro- pose adopting a series of resolutions calling upon President Cleve- land to suspend from oftice Commissioner of Agriculture Norman J. Colman for irregulari- tiles In office and viola- tion of the laws gov- erning the manage- ment of his office re- garding the purchase of seeds for the de- partment. In theopin- Commissioner Colman. ion of a majority of the seed merchants the Commisioner has been guilty of showing a great deal of favoritism to certain seed dealers to such an extent that it has seriously impaired the useful- ness of the service, and has been the means of distributing throughoutthe country an inferior and stale quality of seed, which has brought forth much complaint from the farmers. Phillip L. Reeves, a prominent representa- tive of one of the oldest firms of New York City, who has devoted several months to in- vestigating the methods of the department, has furnished the Post-DISPATCH correspondent with statements gathered from the Commis- sioner’s annual report, with additional facts from the office of Comptroller Durham. In the opinion of Mr. Reeves and other seed dealers, an investigation of the Commissioner’s purchase of seeds and plants in the eight months of the last fiscal year, will disclose some features which it is believed are proper subjects for inquiry. According to the return of the Commissioner of Agriculture to Congress atthe close of the last fiscal year, for eight months of the year, there were ex- pended for seeds and plants $58,361.88. Of this amount $51,911.60 were paid totwo concerns, viz: A. B. Cleveland & Co., of Cape Vincent, N. T., doing business also in New York City, and Northrop, Brazien & Co. of Minneapolis. The total amount expended for seeds for the entire fiscal year was $60,834.48. The first of these concerns is a joint stock company, which is alleged by Mr. Reeves to have sprung into the general seed business under the aus- pices of the Commissioner, or at least imme- Giately after his accession to office. WITHIN THE EIGHT MONTHS NAMED the firm did business with the department amounting to $34,187.40. The Minneapolis firm, Mr. Reeves says, received within the month following December 31, 1885, $17,729.42, and had been in existence but a few weeks when shown these favors as against other and olderfirms. Mr. Reevesalso makes the state- ment that the two firms are in fact the same and that the Minneapolis branch was created for the — . of giving the Commissioner the privilege of patronizing a Western institu- tion to prevent it being said that he was dis- criminating inthe interest of an Eastern house. Mr. Reeves has found that each summer, dur- ing the administration of Commissioner Col- man, he spent from one week to a fortnight in company with A. B. Cleveland, on fishing ex- cursions on the St. Lawrence River, and as he believes at the expense of Mr. Cleveiand’s firm. Since that time other firms have been shutout. His reasons for asserting that the firm of Northrop, Brazien & Co., is owned by A. B. Cleveland & Co., is that Mr. Northrop, immediately before becoming a partner in the new firm was a commercial traveler for the Cleveland or Eastern house. AN UNFULFILLED AGREEMENT. Mr. Reeves says he has heard it said that the reason other seed firms could not secure or- ders from the Commissioner was that A. B. Cleveland is a relative of President Cleveland, and that the Commissioner, believing this, thinks he can possibly place himself in better favor with the President by thus favoring his namesake. Mr. Reeves further stated to the POST-DISPATCH correspondent that while making the investigation in this city the Com- missioner and his friends, A. B. Cleveland & Co., — he So it, sent a message to him at Williard’s Hotel, saying that if he would cease the Commissioner would give to the firm Mr. Reeves represented a $10,000 order at once. Mr. Reeves wanted to see the order before he consented, though he was prevailed upon to accept their verbal as- surace that a fair distribution would prevail in the future. Instead of the commissioner car- rying out his agreement with Mr. Reeves in giving his firm a $10,000 order, it was reduced to about $2,000, the remainder going to A. B. Cleveland & Co. The seed dealers in general, in view of the fact that on the first proximo, the new appropriation made by the last session of Congress, aggregating over $100,000 will become available for the purchase of seeds for the ensuing fiscal year, find it necessary to take the action contemplated and ask the suspension of the Commissioner pending the expenditure of the appropriation, and await the convening of Congress, when articles of impeachment will be lodged with the Senate and an investigation had. Theseed dealers claim that they will be able to submit to Congress sufficient grounds for an ae tion. In their opinion he is fostering and buiid- ing up a monoply in the seed business. Mr. Reeves asserts that the opinion generally pre- valle that the Commissioner is himself AN INTERESTED STOCKHOLDER in the firms to whom he has extended the great bulk of the government patronage. The statutes authorizing the establishment of the Department of Agriculture provide that the Commissioner ‘‘Shall collect new and valu- able seeds and plants; that the purchase and distribution of seeds shall be confined to such as are rare and uncommon to the country, or such as can be made more profitable by frequent changes from one part of our country to an- other. The purchase or * * and dis- tribution of trees, plants, shoots, vines and cuttings shall be confined to such as are adapted to general cultivation and to promote the general interests of horticuiture and agri- culture throughout the United States.’’ REEVES’ COMPILED 8STAEMENT. From the following statement, which Mr. Reeves compiled from the list of purchases, as shown by the vouchers in the Comptroller's office, it would appear that little respect has been paid to the law regarding that section providing for the purchase of seeds that are To 1 rn N 1 1 4 * * 1 7 * Per cent Amount of old purchased. varieties 300 De _\Jae é — — — — — SS SSS 8888888 POOOC wh 85 SENATOR MORGAN'S KICK.

ONWAED PROGRESS OF DECATUR, ALA, Wonderful Land Sales—8275,000 Worth of Lots in Four Days—Success of the Gate- way Assured. DECATUR, Ala., June 11, 1887.—The week just closing has been a red-letter one in the history of this grand new city. While the summer heat has in a measure suspended operations in most of the new towns of the South and West it seems only to have made things more lively in Decatur. There is no further use to dilate upon the advantages of the location of Decatur, and the immense natural resources that surround her. These are already accepted facts by all who read the newspapers, or who have visited the city. Atruthful resume of recent events in the progress of the city cannot fail to interest your readers. A remarkable occurrence was the large num- ber of business lots sold on Wednesday at private sale by the Decatur Land, Improve- mentand Furnace Company. The mere an- ots were on sale for nouncement that these the first time brought a crowd of eager pur- chasers, and before night $164,000 worth of real estate was sold. The story.of none of the much-boomed towns shows anything like this, as the lots were not only not advertised, but the fact that they were to be sold was known to none until the day before the sale. No comment on this is necessary further than to state that for forty-seven acres of land al- ready sold the company has received a sum of money equal to from one-half to two-thirds what was paid for the whole 5, 000 acres on which the town is laid out. To one knowing, as the writer does, the honest and intelligent management here, this fact makes the stock of the Land, Improve- ment & Furnace Cosspeny, one of the most valuable on the market. e venture the pre- diction for what itis worth, as the result of close investigation, that the stock of the company will more than double in sixty days. It is worth looking into by investors seeking a good thing. Among the incidental work of the any during the week is the securing for ecatur the locating of the ‘‘Mineral Paint and Granite Roofing Company’’ of Kansas City. This company go to work atonce to erect their buildings, and will be in opera- tion within ninety days. They will work about seventy men, and when in operation will be able to supply a large portion of the South with paints and roofing. The Decatur Water-works’ system is now an assured fact. These will be putin by Inman & Co. of New York, at a cost of $200,000, at their own risk, with no guarantee from the poo or the com- pany. e water-works will have a capacity of over 5,000,000 gallons a day, and will be one of the finest systems in the United States. Arrangements have also been made for the construction of city gas-works with a promi- nent New York firm. These will also come without cost to the city or company. These are facts that speak much for the con- fidence inspired in commercial circles of the solid prosperity of Decatur. In railroad matters in which Decatur is in- terested, progress is being made. Maj. Kelly, in command of the surveying corps of the Decatur & Columbus Railroad, arrived last night, — 2 completed the survey. He re- orts a very favorable line, and measures are — perfected which will insure the building of the road. ‘ Decatur is now every night brilliantly illuminated with electric light. Houses for residenco or business pu ses can be had with great difficulty, and hundreds are living in tents which dot the landscape on all sides. But this is enough for the present, and it but faintly portrays what all should come and see for themselves. H. S.

THE COLONIES IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF EUROPE. — The American Passion fer Visiting Europe Resulting in Great Loss of Meney to the United States—Wandering Families For- getting Their Native Land—Allieged Edu- cation of American Children in Europe— Chasing After Social Dignitaries and the Nobility. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. LONDON, June 16.—There are agreat many Americans living in Europe. There isa large colony in London, anda much larger one in Paris. Turoushout all the continental cities there are increasing colonies of rich Ameri- cans. Thereisa large colony in Berlin. In the winter time Rome is thronged with Amer- icans> All through the Riviera there are more Americans than other foreigners. Every year brings over alarge number of touriste from the United States. They bring with them, as a general thing, plenty of money and spend it freely. 5 The American passion tor visiting Europe results in a great loss of money to the United States, but the loss in the case of the tourist who comes for a short time for study and improvement, is made up by the gain in the education of the visitor. Butthe most serious loss and draw- back to the United States comes from the large emigration from the United States to Europe of some of ourrichest people. There isavery large number of wealthy Americans who now spend the greater part of their lives in the continental cities of Europe. These people come over with an indefinite idea oof what they will do, and become completely enthralled by the life of pleasure to be had by people of leisure in Europe. They soon learn to forget their own country, and remain away year after year, thinking that some time they will go home, but when they do they stay but a short time and come drifting back to their old life of ease and indolent travel. Some of the heads of these wandering American families hug to their breasts the delusion that they are over here forthe purpose of educating their chil- dren and to teach them foreign languages. Their children do 1 PICK UP A SMATTERING of French, German and some of the other con- tinental languages. The slight gafn obtained in their facility to telk in two or three lan- guages is more than lost through their lack of proper education in other directions. Wan- dering about with their parents, they become unsettled and receive no regular, thorough education. They are unfitted to go home and engage in business, and they are not fitted for anything else but the wandering life which they haveled. If they have plenty of money, they can manage to get along, but there are many cases reported at the legations, ot Americans who lose their money through long life abroad and consequent inattention to their business affairs at home. The result is often great poverty and distress. The greater number of Americans who live abroad, labor under the idea that they are studying and im- provinz themselves. They are not. They are simply undergoing a process of denationaliza- tion. They lose all interest in their own country and its affairs. comes reduced to degree. They are chime in with the foreign critics of our institutions, and know of no greater evil than being banished from Europe. There is no other nation in the world that sends out so many wealthy emigrants as ours. There is a very small number of English peo- ple among the foreign colonies on the conti- nent. The so-called better classes of England swear by their own country. They would live nowhere else. You will never find any En- glishman with such a poor opinion of his own country or its institutions that he will sit si- lently when they are being made the subject of adverse criticism. This trait of national character might well be emulated by our rich classes who are constantly leaving the United States because they find life in Europe SO MUCH PLEASANTER,. They chase after tiie social dignitaries and the nobility with an earnestness that has made their ambitions the .by-word of European social circles. I was taiking the other day with a prominent American, a public man, who has spent a number of years in the diplo- matic service, who said: ‘‘Americans should not come to Europe except to study or when business actually forces them tocome. People with nothing to do here and plenty of money to spend invariably waste their lives and de- stroy the future of their children if they remain too long. They acquire a habit of dawdling and frittering away their time, and of chasing after the petty vanities of foreign social life, which are most degrading amd deteriorating. I wish that there were some way of forcing ail of these Americans to return to the United States, where they might be of some use to themselves and to others. In European coun- tries the rich and leisurely clase turn their at- tention to politics. If these rich people who bring the children over to Europe to give them so-called education would keep them at home and train them for public careers in the Urrited States the result would bea great advantage tothe country. There is everything in public life with us to satisfy the most honorable ambition, and the reason our politics are not better than they are, is be- cause so many of our rich pote sniff con- temptuously whenever the word is mentioned and set their faces towards Europe, where politics are the very breath of life of the most caltivated societies,’’ ‘ INSANE AMERICANS ABROAD. This same ex-diplomate = at another marked peculiarity of the people in the United States was to send their insane people abroad. He said: to ed to find eb get Tid of ge 0 the imme Their patriotism be- the lowest possible always ready to as to M4 ce 1 et here, and pick up enough money to em back. here is not one in a thousand of this class who can find anything to do. The result is that re THEY BECOME PENNILESS within a few weeks after their arrival and then besiege the legation for money to go home on. The most that the Minister can ever do for them is to cable their friends, if they have any. These cases don’t deserve ———: as in nearly every instance the sufferers have brought their own troubles upon them by their foolish, visionary ideas of the possibilities of European lite. I had = he other day a young slip of a boy o on me. He was from Washington, D. C., and wanted to know if he could get work in any London newspaper office so that he could stay herea year.» lasked him if he had ever written for any newspaper. He said that he had never written a line for one. He was perfectly con- fident, however, thatif he had the right kind of an introduction he could get on to some one of the great London dailies. I could not con- vince him that they were not anxious to take on raw apprentices. T. O. CRAWFORD, The Wonder of the Day.

Back of the bill to increase the force of police in the city isa plan to entirely change the system of handling the force which is now in vogue in the department. The change has deen talked about ever since Ohief Huebler’s visit to New York last winter when he was asked — ine Board to examine minutely into the ew York plan and report upon it. The mode of operation there struck the St. Louis of- ficials as peculiarly excellent and advanta- geousto the force and thecity. At present the method of handling the force here ia to divide it into two platoons, each one of whom serves half ot twenty-four hours every day, and there is no provision at all for a reserve force in case of flre or riot. One platoon goes on duty at a. m. and remains on duty until 11 p. m., when the other platoon goes on duty. As it requires about an hour tor preparation and to reach the station, and another hour to get home, the patrolmen are practically on duty about fourteen hours in the twenty-four. More than this, time and labot are expended going to and returnin from meals, and at such times the city is le largely unprotected. At present, also, ten patrolmen have tobe u as sergeants, as e not enough sergeants required by aw. The plan which meets with the greatest favor is modeled after the New York system, and contemplates dividing the force into three platoons, two of 200 each and one of 100. The fifty additional men and ten sergeants asked for by the Board will make this possible, and it is believed will greatly increase the efficiency of the police force. ith 500 patroimen the force can be divided into the atoons alread mentioned, and dif- ferentiy divided. rr remain on duty eight hours and then be re- lieved. The platoon of 100 men will go on du at 6o’clock in the morning and remain until 2 in the efternoon, this be the time of when the least police service is uired ; then a platoon of 200 will gb on d ad o’ clock in the afternoon an main until 10 at night, and the third platoon of 200 will serve the re- maining an In order to. a reserve force, the platoon going off duty at 2 p. m. will remain on reserve at the on until 6 p. m. and the platoon going on duty at 10 p. m. will go into reserve duty, thus each platoon * uired to ee four hours’ reserve and eight hours’ active se 8 Vice-President Blair, speaking of plan, said: It would be a vast improvement on the present system, as it will shorten the of work of the force, which is now too long, and will make the force Megs | more effective. At meal times now the city must be left to some extent unprotected, and the force is small enough, as we have only about three men to every square mile, and in some districts the beats are entirely too iarge. From 6 o’clock in the morning to 2 in the after- noon less force is required than at any other time of day, and 100 men will do; while d the remainder of the time we will have fres platoons of 200 men, who can in eight hours be kept up to active service without loss of time for meals as at present. It will also give us a reserve which we do not have now, and is often necessary. We also need theten ser- geants badly. Altogether the policing of the city will be greatly improved by the new sys- tem contemplated.’’ SOLITAIRE DIAMONDS. Ear-rings. Studs. se Collar Buttons. Sleeve Buttons. Lace Pins. Bracelets.
