Louis. Delegates were appointed at those meetings to proceed to the Capital o¢ the nation, and there to express tothe Chief Executive, ina manner as effective as words Jobn Finn, who had some young ladies under and feeling protest from a generous and form would permit, the warmth of the greeting which awaits nim from the people of Missouri in the metropolis of the State. We are here, therefore, sir, in obedi- ence to the mandates of our peo- ple, representing all sections of Mis- sourl, her commercial, manufacturing and agricultural interests, and reflecting the de- sire of every city, town and hamlet within her borders to urge you and Mrs. Cleveland to favor us with your presence. This invitation emanates from the people, your sovereigns and ours, and not from any organization, civil or military, political or religious.’’ It is the spontaneous outburst of a commu-; nity that never suffers its reputation for hos- pitatity to be aspersed. It is a vigorous host againstthe absolute declination of a distin- guished guest tobe the central figure of an invited company. The reasons why you should visitthe West are even stronger now than on the former occasion, when your reply was a favorable one, whether viewed from our standpoint or your own. Our appearance before you in largely increased numbers, coming, as we do, from the most remote sections of the State, furnishes an in- dication of the feeling prevailing at our homes. The people of the West revere the high office of the Chief Magistrate of the Nation and their loyalty and patriotism impel them to honor him who fills that exalted position. Especially is it so when the man who occupies it performs his duties withthe wisdom, fear- lessness and patriotism which characterizo your administration. No organization, however strong, and no occurrence, however, important, will be required to add interest to the occasion of your presence. The people of Missouri and of the West will con- gregate in vast numbers to meet and welcome you in the commercial center of the Missis- sissippi Valley. We have designated the first week in October as the time for your visit because we thought that time would be most convenient and agreeable for you; because it is the season when our fall festivities are at their height; when our Trades Pageant gives its nocturnal display; when the mysterious Veiled Prophet surrounded with Oriental splendor makes his annual visit; when our streets are brilliantly itllum!l- nated by arches of blazing light and on ascale of magnificence never approached; when our Exposition and Agricultural and Mechanical Fair, each the greatest of its kind on the continent, are in progress; and because finally it is a season when the sturdy yeomanry ofthe land, the bulwark of the republic, and the greatest contributors to its wealth can, with least detriment to their agricultural interests assemble in our city todo you honor. If, however, another time would be better suitedto your inclina- tion or engagements, your welcome would be not the less genuine. The city of St. Louis, the State of Missouri and the people of the West say to the President of the United States, ‘Honor us with your presence,’ and to Grover Cleveland, the honest, fearless man who so ably fills that high office, ‘Come and be our guest. PRESENTING THE INVITATION. Mr. Francis delivered his remarks in a clear, distinct tone, and was roundly applauded. At the conclusion of Mr. Francis’ speech Secre- tary Mitchell presented the handsome en- graved invitation to the President, saying that it was from the greatest State in the Union to the greatest President that ever occupied the White House. THE PRESIDENT ACCEPTS. Mr. Cleveland was very happy in his response. He said: Mr. Mayor, my reply to your very complimentary and hearty ad- dress will be very brief and practical. Atthe time you did me the honor with so many of your fellow-citizens to invite me to your city, I. felt it was an invitation which should not be declined. I felt that you had some- thing there of which you were deservedly proud. You hadacity anda locality there of which it was only right and just that you should wish the Chief Magistrate of the coun- try to see and appreciate. Of this feeling I have remarkable proof. It was not at all nec- essary to convince me of your good faith and sincerity that so many of your good people should come bere at this inopportune season to bring this invitation, and yet you don’t know how mach it has pleased me to see you all. [Cheers.] The desire to come to see you has increased each day. I don’t feel now that Ican do otherwise than accept your invita- tion. [Great applause.) The arrangement made before was entirely free from any complication and presented no likeli- hood of any. You are aware that I agreed to visit the city of Atlanta early in Oc- tober. I only speak of this now because when we are about to determine upon the day when I can visit you, this Atlanta visit must be taken into consideration. However, this is a matter that can be arranged afterward. Luckily we have plento of time. I shall be glad to meet or correspond witha committee of your citizens and fix the dateand make the arrangements in detail.’’ „But,“ Mr. Cleveland added with a smile, „the thing must be done. I will come. [More applause. } GETTING POSTED. Turning to Mayor Francis Mr. Cleveland asked: What is your great day?“ The week of the festival of the Fair com- mences October 2, and any day of that week would be acceptable to us. The Velied Prophets’ parade takes place on the 4th, but if you cannot come before the latter part of t week, I am inclined to think thatthe sentative citizens of St. Louis, to supple- | suit your convenience. ment and earnestly indorse in behalf of | papers, I guess.’’ | Mysterious Prophet will delay his arrival to Hie reads the news- [Laughter.] Ot course, said the President, “a trip of ously extended to you, to attend the annual | this kind involves more than ordinary prep- Army of arations.

Don't forget about Mrs. Cleveland, said the Mayor. ‘‘Idon’t believe she would let me forget her, said the President. INVITING THE CABINET. Mayor Francis then informed the President that they would be glad to extend the invita- tion to the members of the Cabinet and their wives. The President said he was anxious to get the matter settled as soon as possible and would endeavor to give the p of his western trip to the public by the middle of August.

THE DELEGATION TO MEET. The members of the visiting delegation will visit Mt. Vernon to-morrow before returning home. The delegation was joined here this morning by a number of prominent St. Louis- ans: Chas. Green, John W. McCullagh, Moses Fraley, August Frank, Gen. Gooding, C. W. Coombs, Judge Holliday, John G. Priest, Col. Switsler, John R. Triplett and W. C. Day. . PHOTOGRAPHED. The delegation, after leaving the White House, went over the Navy Department, where they were photographed in a group on the steps. NO CLEW. The Mysterious Murder of Jacob Schinler at Kimmswiek, Mo. KIMMSWICK, Mo., July 25.—Javob Schinler, a farm hand, came across the river on Saturday night with John Rochelle, alter being paid off, and they spent the evening at various saloons. After closing hours they walked to the brow ofa hill north of the town and fell asleep. A train passing in the morning aroused Rochelle, who discovered that he had been robbed. He found Schinler’s dead body 100 yards away. He had been murdered for his money. An inquest was held inthe afternoon, and the body buried in Kimmswick Cemetery. There is no clew to the murderer. FIERCE FRESHETS. Great Damage by Heavy Floods in the Eastetn States. DOVER, N. H., July 25.—All rivers in this part of the State are higher now than ever known before in the summer. Freshets in Lamprey river, Newmarket, this morning, carried away a large partof the old dam of Newmarket Cotton Mills. Derricks and engine employed some time in constructing the new dam were swept away. The loss cannot be estimated at present. A dispatch from South Berwick says that five members of a fire engine company there, and a horse hauling hand tub, while en route to a fire Saturday night, were prostrated by lightning, the men being insensible for some time, and River is rising rapidly and the depth of water rushing over the dam is forth-two inches, the bighest ever known here in summer. At Great Barrington. Boston, Mass., July 25.—A Globe special from Great Barrington saysthatthe greatest damage by the storm was in the valley of the Green and Black Grocery Rivers, the major portion ofthe flood passing down the latter river, causing the ater destruction on the New York side. Hillsdale was the first victim of the overflow. Bridge after bridge was east from its foundations with a force that crushed staunch timbers and left them dancing and plunging in the eddies until cast upon the shore. The iron works of the Mallorys at this point became a target. The foundry of the concern on the west side of the Black Grocery Kiver, however, withstood the shock and managed to hold together, yet its foundations were badly damaged, as was also a large amount of valuable machinery and stock. alf a dozen employes, who worked bravely to save a part ef the contents, had a narrow escape with their lives, they being submerged almost to their necks at one time. A big bridge spanned the stream at this point in front of the foundry and after vigorously withstanding the force arrayed against it, began to crumble atits eastern end, where the water surged over and cut under the massive stone-work. The abutment was completely wiped out, and the kixty-too€ bridge, which was worth some $49,000, also went. Twenty-three bridges at least have been destroyed and the total loss is estimated at over $500,000. : Bridge Swept Away. GREENFIELD, Mass., July 25.—The freshet has just swept away the iron railroad bridge at Erving, which will cause still further delay to trafiic. AN ILL-FATED SLOPE, Terrible Mine Disaster at Nanticoke—A Fatal Explosion. WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 25.—Another ter- rible disaster occurred at 7 o’clock this morn- ing at the fatal No lelope of the Susquehanna Coal Company at Nanticoke, whereby three lives were Probably = sacrificed. Anthony Broski, George Phillips and Ed- ward Lorber were engaged in a chamber driving a holding. They used safety lamps. Broski inserted a lot of giant powder into a hole he had drilled, and fired it. The blast exploded an accumulation of fire damp that knocked the three men against the ragged sides of the chamber, mutilating their bodies in a horrible manner, and burning them frightfully. When carried to the surface the blackened flesh ofthe three unfortunate miners hung in strips from their bodies, their clothing having been torn oe off. Broski died an hour afterward, surrounded by his weeping wife and three children. Phillips’ and Lorber's injuries are pronounced fatal. Four of Lorber’s brothers were killed in the great disaster in the same mine in December, 1888, and are numbered among the twenty-six whose bones still lie entombed in the fatal chamber that never has been reached. Fatal Railroad Accident. MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 25.—A special from Hudson, Wis., to the Evening Wisconsin says the south-bound passenger train on the North Wisconsin division of the Chicago, St. Pain, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway ran into an open switch at Cumberland Station. Engineer Jobn Donahue of Hudson and Fireman Web- ster of Altoona were killed and Baggagemas- ter Murphy injured. The engine, express and baggage cars were wrecked. A freight train had been side-tracked to await the passage of the passenger train, and the freight hands failed to close the switch. Powder-Mill Blow-Up.

LonpDon, July 25.—Quite a stir has been made in political circles by the unusual haste of thé Government to put the coercion bill into active operation. Saturday evening there was a meeting of the Privy Council at the castle. There were present the Lord-Lieutenant, Lord Londonderry; Balfour, the Chief-Secretary; Lord Ashborn, the Lord-Chancellor of Ire- land, and the Prince of Saxe-Weimar, com- mander of the forces in Ireland. The following divisional magistrates were in attendance: Col. Turner, Maj. Slacke, Capt. Plunkett, Mr. Byrne and Mr. Cullen. A long consultation took place and the council decided on proclaiming under the crimes act, as first stated, four counties, namely: Cork, Clare, Kerry and Limerick. Afterwards it was notified that thirty-one counties out of thirty-two were included. Antrim is exempt, but Belfast is included. Copies ot the proclamations were dispatched by the evening train to the police authorities in the districts affected. The Privy Council- lors dined in the evening in the Royal Marine Hotel, Kingston. The Chief-Secretary left for London bythe Holyhead boat. The special gazette which was issued Saturday night CREATED GREAT SURPRISE. The Lord-Lieutenant arrived yesterday morning at Kingston for London. He was ac- companied by Capt. Hicks-Beach, A. D. O., and Mr. Mulhall, the Private Secretary, and the party at once proceeded to Dublin by a special train which was in waiting. Along the line small parties of police were stationed at intervals, and constables were also on various bridges. Meetings were held throughout the country yesterday, at which Messrs. Dillon, O’Brien, Davitt and other leading Nationalists attempted to speak concerning the proclama- tion, but were prevented. The first clause of the act which comes into operation is in reference to inguiries by order of the Attorney-General, under whom the magistrates, with whose legal knowledge the Lord Chancellor is satisfied, are eligible to hold such inquiries. The clause includes a number of sections. The second clause sets forth the number of offenses which are to be regarded as coming under the head of boy- cotting; the third deals with special juries, and the fourth with a change of trials. These are all the sections of the act which are in operation under the proclamation, in the districts classed as dangerous. Theannounce- ment has created a great sensation throughout Dublin, but the general belief is that it will not be putinto anything more than nominal operation. - — A GRAND SPECTACLE, The Great Review of the Vessels. . Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 2%.—Twenty thousand two hundred officers and men formed the crews of the vessels on review before the Queen at Portsmouth Saturday. There were & number of Government vessels for the accommodation of officials aud invited guests, Among the American visitors received on these vessels which accompanied the royal yachts were Senator Hawley, Minister McLane from Paris, Minister Phelps, Secretary-of- Legation Henry White, Murat Halstead and the Post-DISPATCH correspondent. It was a brilliant naval spectacle, given by the most formidable naval power in the world. From the time of my arrival on board the Euphrates I was kept busy all the after- noon studying the new varieties of vessels. There was every form of modern naval archi- tecture placed in contrast with the hulks and ancient vessels which lie moored in Ports- mouth harbor. Two vessels whicu attracted more attention, perhaps, than all of the new vessels, were the gigantic old four-deckers, the Duke of Wellington and the Victory. The latter, which was Nelson’s flag-ship, is still in good condition. There was a marked contrast between these two high-storied wooden ves- sels, and the low bulit black iron monsters and the torpedo boats which dashed about the harbor running at a speed of eighteen and twenty miles an hour. These latter looked for all the world like amphiblous creatures, so low did they lie in the water. Anyone ofthese vicious-looking and swiftcraft, small as they are, would be sufficient to destroy in few moments any vessel ofthe character ofthe Victory. The ships reviewed werecovered with flags from stem tostern. Inthe rearof the line, along the Isle of Wight, were innumerable pleasure crafts. Alongthe Hampshire coast were ex- cursion steamers and the great vessels of the P.&Q. line, which took people down from Loadon for the sum of $35, and gave them din- ner and a night’s lodging, KEMAINING FOR THE ILLUMINATION. The Queen did not leave the Isle of Wight until about3o’clock. When she left the har - bor of Cowes there were three royal yachts and there was a little pilot vessel ahead of the Queen. Then came the Queen's yacht; then that of the Prince of Wales and then the yacht assigned tothe German Crown Prince. The royal yachts had six smoke-stacks, painted yellow, three masts and a black hull. They are all side-wheel steamers. The Queen sat on the quarter-deck of ber yacht under a white awning with only two or three ladies near her. She was attired in black, witha black bonnet trimmed with white lace. She wore black gloves and held in her hand a green sunshade. The Prince of Wales, on his yacht, wore his naval uniform as a captain of the naval reserve. The royal yachts were followed by the Euphrates, carrying the members of the House of Lords and their families, and by the Crocodile, carrying the members of the House of Commons. Immediately after them came two other troop ships, carrying the Indian Princes and the high Admiralty officials. Mr. Vanderbilt's yacht was also moored near the course. The yards ot all the ships in tte re- view were manned with the sallors balf an hour before the royal exercises were started. These men stood so still that at the immense height at which they were posed they looked like toy sallors. It was a splendid spectacie when the royal yachts turned and passed down the line of these magnificent war ships. Steel-mounted cannon showed from every porthouse of the men-of-war, and the flying pennants, dipping colors and the graceful ships made up a picture to giadden the heart of the sailor. Below the long line reviewed, English Naval the day. The great Agincourt, with her 10,000 tons displacement, costing over $2,000,000, is now considered second-class in rank. All the interest of the naval men is concentrated upon the torpedo- boats, and upon the swift steel-cruisers. At the close of the review the Queen received on her yacht all ot the commanders of the vessels of the fleet. In the evening Portsmouth was ablaze with iluminations. Electric lights were on every stick and spar of the fleet. The day and the evening made the brightest and most in- teresting feature of the jubilee ceremonies. A TERRIBLE DISASTER, Eight Hundred Lives Lost by the Wrecking of a Steamer. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July %.—The Pacifie Mail steamer City of Rio de Janeiro arrived last night, bringing Hong Kong advices to July land Yokohama news of July 9. By the loss of the steamer Sir John Lawrence in the Ray of Bengal, 800 lives were lost, mainly pilgrims of the best families in Bengal. From the 2lst to 2th of May a cyclone raged In the Bay of Bengal with disastrous re- suits to shipping and attended with great loss of life. The storm was the severest experienced in that quarter since 1866, judging from the reports of vessels which weathered it. Passengers on Goare the Sir John Lawrence numbered 750, the officers and crew numbering fifty. The passengers were mainly women going on a pilgrimage to the famous Temple of Jaganath at Puni. There is scarcely a native family in Calcutta which does not bemoan the loss of a relative by the disaster. England. ROBERT VERDIN, u. r., DEAD. LONDON, July 2%.—Robert Verdin (Unionist), member of Parliament of the Northwich division of Cheshire, is dead. The Liberals are confident of winning the seat made vacant by his death. Russia.

PROCLAIMED UNDER THE CRIMES ACT. DvuBLIN, July 25.—The County of Antrim has been proclaimed under the crimes act, The Dominion. A STRICT QUARANTINE. OTTAWA, Ontario, July 2.—It will be a mat- ter of important interest to United States ex- porters of horses, cattle and swine into Mani- toba, the Northwest Territories and British Columbia, to know that the Dominion Gov- ernment has imposed qtarantine regulations which preciude absolutely the importation in those sections of the country of any cattle except for breeding purposes, and they only to be imported subject to the most stringent quarantine inspection. All horses and hogs will be subject to twenty-one days quarantine. BURNED BY BUSH FIRES. KINGSTON, Ontario, July 2%.—A tract of woodland, three miles square, has been burned over by bush fires in Loughborough Township, County of Frontenac. Thetimber was all destroyed.

GROCERS’ COMPLAINTS. — FW —— — WHAT MESSRS. J. k. HAYWARD AND E. F. KELLY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THEM. Upon the Interstate Commerce Com- missioners—A Case Made up on a State- ment of Facts, Without Any Oratory— The Commercial Travelers’ Kate. Chairman J. G. Hayward of the Associated Wholesale Grocers’ Committee and E. F. Kelly, Secretary of the Merchants Exchange Transportation Committe, returned | from Washington yesterday. They went | East a week ago for the purpose of appearing | before the Interstate Commerce Commission ) m support of acomplaint made by the Asso- | ciated Wholesale Grocers some time in May against the Missouri Pacific Railway. W. E. Schweppe and Jacob Furth were other mem- | bers of the committee, the former ac- companying Messrs. Hayward and Kelly | going East, and the latter joining them in 1 Washington. They went before the commis- sion on Thursday and Friday, presenting their case and arguments. Mr. Furth returned to N Cape may, where his family are. Mr. ' Schweppe became quite ill in Washington, but recovered sufficiently to travel, and is | now on the coast of Maine with his family. } There were practically two suits argued by the committee against the railway company. The first contained three specifications, sub- ‘ stantially as follows: The Missouri Pacific Rail- | way Company has made a combination and arra ment with other and separate railway lines Gonnecting therewith, whereby it charges N N 5 to shippers of other States by those lines of railway a less compensation for services ren- dered in transmitting property from points within the State of Missouri to points without the State than it charges to citizens of the State of Missouri for rendering substantial! The Missouri! Pacific Rail- way, itself owning no connecting lines be- tween the city of St. Louis and the city N of East St. Louis, nevertheless, by 1 its published tariff, offers to transport roperty from both the points named to points In 2 Nebraska and elsewhere at the name rate, and it being evident that the said railway company must part with some portion of its compensation to the line transporting the property from East St. Louis, it practically follows that an undue preference is shown to the shippers from East St. Louis over shippers | from St. Louis. The third specification related to the greater charge to shippers of less than car-load lots than to shippers of entire dar - loads. 9 E. F. KELLY, who went with the committee asa witness, discussed the complaint this morning. ‘‘The greatest stress, he said, Was laid upon the Car-load rate specification. We charged that . the Missouri Pacific Railway Company places St. Louis merchants at a disadvantage, because it charges ten shippers shipping one ton each more per ton than one shipper of ten tons—from 2 to 40 per cent. We 1 showed that small shipments can be carried more cheaply by the railway company than 1 entire car-loaas, as in loading thesmallship- 1 ments the entire carrying capacity of the car 1 ean be utilized, whereas with a car-load ship. | ment the car is but partially occupied.’’ : ; And he illustrated by showing how sixty ship- similar services. — — ee ments of equal weight to six car-loads, and for the same destination, could be loaded into three cars and transported at a cost of not if more than 20 per centoverthe cost of three : cars loaded more lightly, and a saving of 80 er cent over the cost if the shipments had een in six cari-oad lots. „General Traffic Manager 4 — Traffic Manager Murray represented the Missouri Pacific. The former claimed that the expense of handling, loading and way- billing justified the greater chargefor small shipmengs than forcar-loads. He also said that w necessity arose for freight cars for — along the line, small shipments would e putin cars for these points though there 1 might not be enough to fillthe cars. Yet the 1 expense would be the same as if the car were 1 fu When the argument was finished some f entlemen from New York, representing the Board of Trade, F. B. Thurber, Geo. II. Shores aud W. B. Timms asked the com- mission not to pass upon the car-load rate i question until the New York Board could have a chance of bringing a suit against une of the trunk lines in which that point would be the issue. The commission agreed to withhold ite decision until the other case is heard.’’ Have any idea what impression the com- mittee made on the commission?“ ‘‘Ionly know they gave us eve tunity to make our case, and treate courteously. All they want is facts. Give them your facts and you can keep your ora- ~~ f The hearing was very just to both sides ) and th j : Newman and — ee — oppor- us very e decision, whatever it may be, wil probably be very well considered.’’ J. K. HAYWARD was also — impressed by the commis- sion. The hearing before it, he said, ‘‘is much like a hearing in an equity court, I think. Lam not familiar with courts, but I know that their practice is very liberal. The commission does not insist upon faets being proven, as is ordinarily done in court. The members of the committee appeared as wit- nesses and Mr. Newman of the Missouri Pacific was the only witness for that side. He ad Mr. Murray and General-Passenger-Agent Townsend with him, but did not put them on the stand. While being examined, if he did not know what to say in reply toa question, he would turn to one of his associates and ask for information. That he would give the commission as his reply. The rail- way officials admitted all the facts as to rates, and gave us every assistance in obtaining in- formation on these subjects. They put no stones in our way, being anxious to have the | matters finally settled.’ How was the case made—by puttigg in evi- | denoe a specific case of discrimination against a St. Louis merchant?’’ No, we took up the general subject of rates, and showed that certain rates discrim- inated unjustly against St. Louis merchants. ( For instance, we showed that the rate from Chicago to Fort Scott is 47 cents or 30 cents from St. ul, While the rate from St. Louis Fort Scott is of Chicago. Mr. Newman claimed that St. Louis h rate from the seaboard, which this d mina- . tion was intended to equalize. We claimed | that goods from the seaboard to New York : ; ) 42 cents, a discrimination of 12 cents in favor ; the advan e over eee in ite scri were shipped largely by cana) and lake or else the goods were sold to Chicago on a basis of anal and lake freight rates. We claimed, too, the Missouri Pacific had no right to make that equalization evea if the supposed advan- tage to St. Louis didexist. The interstate com- merce Dill prohibited them from unjustly dis- criminating and thatdoes not mean they have the right to do so for the purpose of egualiza- tion of rates on other roads. Mr. Newman olds that for the 14 ot making rates the issouri Pacific llway and its connectin Ines are one road, and he is complying with the law as long as he does not charge more for the short-haul than for the long-haul.

That branch of the Children’s Aid Society which grew out of the assumption by the so- clety of the work of the defunct American Educational Aid Association last fall, was mentioned in the Posr-Disraren a few days since as being engaged in a controversy with Rev. Isaac W. Higgs, the former Superintendent now in Ohicago, the latter claiming that the society had no jurisdiction over the children he place in homes before his association died. The society to settle the matter once and for all challenged this view of their patnpeny and last week sent a formal demand Mr. Higgs for his books and the list of children placed. He was threatened with legal proceedings if he didn’tturn them over and Mr. Higgs yielded and submitted the matter to Mr. Van Arsdale, the head superintendent at Chicago, who has sent the book and list to the society, — admitting the laktef s claims to jurisdio- .

A Secret Meeting Held at the Hotel Hunt on Friday — Delegate Hilgemann Disputes Pohiman’s Right to the Leadership— Another Effort to Reorganize the House of Delegates—The Terms. A secret meeting of the House of Delegates ‘‘combine’’ has been called for to-morrow. The place has not yet been announced as GERARD B. ALLEN. — Memorial Meeting on called to honor the memory of the Allen’s life and character were resolutions passed: this the time and place are not given The members of the Merchants’ until the last moment. On Friday last the *‘Combine’’ held a secret meeting at the Hotel Hunt, Ninth and Chestnut streets. Delegate Henry Pohiman presided and Delegate Tom Wand was conspicuous by his absence. Del- egates Alt, Nolan, Lehmann, Weisenburger, Gundlach, Weinel, Hilgeman, Huber and Krelschmar participated. Wand’s absence was generally commentedon and gave considerable satisfaction to the assembled statesmen. Wand now occupies a new position. He is disclaiming any relations with the combine and says he never belonged to it. His leader- ship has given the organization a great deal of unwelcome notoriety and his conduct has been made the basis of an indictment at the hands of his fellow ‘‘combiners’’ for the hein- ous offense of ‘‘talking too much with his mouth.’’ There is another very generally accepted explanation of Wands’ conduct. Delegate Huber is an active member of the combine. Delegate Huber’s brother was ap- ointed to the Water Department but Mayor ‘rancis refused to approve of the appoint- ment probably on account of the endorsers. This wasahint. Delegate Wand occupies a similar position. He has employes in sev- eral branches of the city service. appointed on his recommendation. He is anxious to keep them there, and the wisest course to pursue was to step down and out of the ‘‘combine’’ established for the overthrow of the present organization of the House, and for alterior motives in which people asking for ——— and the public are very much inter- ested.

Ed Watson, who was Assistant Clerk of the last ‘House, is Hilgemann’s candidate for the place.

Delegate Hays resigned from thé Railroad Committee, because he did not wish to hold that position, owingto his son’s re- cent promotion, and the fact that any act of his might be gonstrued as influenced by his re- lationships. ntertaining these views itis a question whether Mr. Hays would accept the combine nomination for Speaker.

The Court holds that the de- fendants’ position was correct on that point and Mr. Donovan should be considered as the ona or the 8 plaintiff for the purposes of the suit, to the the title acquired by the plaintiff at the. sale giving him no standing in court nest the defendants. In — the note in the name of the plaintiff and pros ecuting the suit in his name, however, Te did not affect Mr. Donovan’s title to the note or the security attached to it. The plaintiff is left holding the legal title tothe mo note for the benefit of Mr. Donovan, and the Court is constrained by e decisions of the Supreme Court to hold that he is entitled to redeem the land or enforce his lien. In a tax suit the purchaser at the Sheriff’s sale takes the mortgagor’s title or equity of re- demption, and since the mo r had the right before foreclosure to pay off the mort- gage,so has the purchaser of his interest at the sheriff's sale. It follows, therefore, that the defendants have the right firstto pay off and discharge the plaintiff’s mortgage, and if they decline do so the plaintiff yy! protect his mo b 82 it from the tax - judgment.

A fire which resulted in the destruction of considerable property broke out in a stable owned by Mrs. Conway, on Third street and Missouri avenne, yesterday at noon. The flames spread to a summer kitchen in the rear of Emanuel Auer’s saloon and also to the rear of the barbershop kept by Ira Maddock, and had it not been for the prompt and effective work of acting firemen under the direction of Chief Walsh, both the saloon and barbershop would have been destroyed. Auer estimates his loss at $1,200. Mrs Conway's loss was about $150 and Maddock® about sv, During the fire Mrs. Auer and Miss Dintel, her sister, went upstairs over the saloon to brin down what ey could, but when they vad athered up what they most wished to save ey found that there was such a dense volume of smoke in the hallway that escape by the stairs was impossible. They then went to the front windows and climbed out on to the awning from which they were lifted down by parties in the street. abel, a 8-year-old daughter of Mr. C. B.

This morning, when the Pittsburg Accom- modation arrived at the Relay Depot, at 7:45, one of the bridge and tunnel engines attached the coach to the Vandalia train, which arrived about the same time, in order that both trains might be taken over the bridge together. When the engine started to pu the train out from the depot the Pitts. burg coach became derailed and was ulled along over the ties for about feet before the engine was broughtto a atandstill. The front platform of the coach was so badly damaged that the car could not be used, and a coach was borrowed from the Wm Clark and John Hardin, two colored men from Cairo, were arrested last evening on a charge of attempting to steal a skiff from a fisherman who living in a flat-boat now anchored below the Hast St. Louis elevator.

The enterprising reporter neglected to state that the chickens were fried and the merchant invited his friends to lunch. Indianapolis reporters are very careless. se THE latest Georgia story tells of a work- man who sweated blood from the top of his head during the recent hot spell. There is reason to believe that he was working in the neighborhood of Jon MULHATTON’S steel-blue, polished and strangely inscribed aerolite. These for- eign bodies raise a big pile of heat when they drop on earth. * 1 A YoutTuFruL Chicago crook, who se- cured a position as an attendant at Sara- toga, has been arrested for gaining the affections of a charming widow and then chloroforming and robbing her of $1,000. If Chicago hotel methods are to be en- grafted on the summer resort system of the Bast it will cost all a manor a Woman has to be fashionable. THE appointment of a corps of sprink- ling superintendents may be taken as an indication that there will be some sprink- ling to be superintended. There is enough water and enough money provid- ed to insure us a well-sprinkled city for three months, including the gala season, atleast, and during that time a great deal can be learned as to what is neces- sary to an efficiently operated system. Ir is stated that the President will per- sonally superintend the appointment of forger HaRVEY’s successor, because the position is one that is full of temptations to be dishonest. r tor the President to do, but it is rather 4 unfortunate that thieves should have to be employed to fill public offices in order to discover that there are unlimited op- portunities to stealinthem. It might, be well to try personal and careful superin- tendence in advance of thievery. A DANGEROUS DRIFT. The New York Mail and Express pub- lishes an article showing the cost of living in a style alleged to be befitting high offi- cial position at Washington. This is far in advance of the compensation attached to the offices and the conclusion is reached that only rich men can accept office. It is not denied that officials can live within their incomes, but it is asserted that this can only be done by sacrifices and humil- iations which make official life unbeara- ble. Society is held to have produced this re- sult by demanding that its ideas of living and entertaining shall be complied with. In other words society asks of the republic that it shall compensate its servants suf- ficiently to admit of their indulging them- selves and society in luxury and displays of wealth, or shall only employ those who are able to do 80. Whatever slight basis for this demand may be found in the increase of the actual wants of men and women, the proposition is absurd and is unworthy of serious con- sideration, The Government owesto its servants ample means to live comfortably as the reward of faithful service. But does it owe more? Is it incumbent on the Government to open the people’s treasury to the drafts of competition in high living with the wealthiest of its citi- zens, and the representatives of nations governed by different ideas? Certainly not. Sucha rule would leave no check upon extravagance and would make of politics a pure struggle for money re- wards. The influence of riches is too potent in politics now, and it will bea sad day for the republic when to the unfortunate prevalence of the idea that only rich men can secure office is added the fact that only rich men can accept office. If the drift of events is leading in this direction it is time to inject into the swim some of the sincere and sturdy qualities of true manhood and cit- izenship. Is ittoo much to ask of hon- ored officials manliness enough to resist such insidious influences? Honorable of- ficers can well afford to dictate to society, or at least disregard its snobbish demands. ———ñ— — —cZ— THE new coercion law has now been ex- posed by its authors as a strictly political measure, an act of partisan persecu- tion. They have agreed to attain the alleged object of it, the repression of agrarian outrages, by passing just such a land bill as they denounced and rejected when proposed by PaRNELL, aud they thus admit, what they for- merly denied, that tbe extraordinary additions to the criminal law of Ireland are to be used, if used at all, for the sup- pression of the political organization called the Land League. To this end eighteen counties have been proclaimed in full, twelve counties in part, and the cities of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Waterford, Drogheda, Belfast, Carrickfergus and Galway. Whatthey expect to gain for the Ministry or accomplish for the king- dom by this course is as inconceivable as the stupidity which has placed them in their present self-stultifying position before the world. nnn — -_ 1 n. AN outing yesterday was as instructive to an intelligent man or woman as a brill- iant sermon on the value of Sunday to modern civilization. The cloudless sky and refreshing atmosphere drew thousands who during six days of the week are held down to the drudgery of daily toil and the stifling confinement of crowded districts of the city to the parks, fields and woods. Tired men, weary and worn women, weak and fretful children, found new life and new hope in the pure air, under the shade trees and on the green grass of the country. The cars, loaded with human beings, that rushed to and from the suburbs, were performing a mission in the interest of health and sound morals. Health and happiness are efficacious aids to preaching. , . THE attempt of the Globe-Democrat to reflect on School Director O*ConNELL’s knowledge of grammar in the use of the singular verb ‘‘invites’’ following The People of Missouri” on the sign painted for the Cleveland invitation commit- tee’s car, is an insidious attack on the management of the public schools. The use of the singular form was only Mr. O’CONNELL’s delicate and patriotic method of indicating thatthe people of Missouri are one on the subject of the President’s visit. It takes some people a long time to grasp the fine points of taste and etiquette. Tue Council committee which has to pass upon the sprinkling contracts should neither be tardy in action nor allow trifies to disappoint the just expectation of the people. Between the ist of September and the middle of October, recollections of St. Louis, either as a dust-hole or as a grand city of clean, well-sprinkled, brilliantly illuminated and beautifully decorated streets, will be fixed in the minds of 100,000 Grand Army veterans and 500,000 other visitors from all parts of the Union, including Mrs. CLEVELAND and the President and his staff. * THE controversy over La France's sen- sational story that eighty-four Generals had tried in vain to seduce BouLancEr into a coup d’etat has brought on a duel between CassaGnac and M. Laur, but Paris seems to be more excited over the 3 ment and resignation of Madame LanLANO at the Theater Fyancaise. Government support and supervision of the theaters make green-room episodes questions of State and the republic a party to frivoli- ties handed down from the old regime of Bourbons and gewgaws. Parallel Cases. From the New York WORLD. Huntington and Sharpe are brothers-in-arms in the bribery business. Their positions have been similar, their methods identical. Hunt- ington has worked at Washington on Con- gressmen and Federal officers; Sharpe has worked at Albany and New York on legisia- tors and aldermen. Sharpe’s corruption funds came from bonds of the Seventh Avenue and Broadway Railroad, stolen from the corpora- tion; Huntington's bribery moneys came from the treasury of the Central Pacific and South- ern Pacific Railroad Companies and were practically stolen from the Government. Sharpe had his Keenan and his Moloney, who paid over the money to the bribed aldermen; Huntington had his Dick Franchot and Char- ley Sherrill, who handed the bribe tothe cor- rupted officer er Congressman. Sharpe paid $76,000 for a year’s legal services; Hunting- ton expended $63,000 one year and $88,000 the next on a similar elastic account, The great point of resemblance between the two, however, is in the impudent manner in which they had defied the law and insulted those who have been set to investigate their acts. Sharpe laughed at the Senate Investi- gating Committee; Huntington badgered and fooled the Pacific Railroad Commissioners when he told them that he had ‘‘explained’’ matters with all the departments and with Congressmen.’’ He sneered at their inteili- gence by stating that he did not pay any money to Richard Roe, Congressman, but to John Doe, who would go to Richard Roe and tell him ‘‘just the thing that is wanteck“ Both Sharpe and Huntington are wealthy men. But despite his riches Sharpe will go to Sing Sing. Itis the duty of the Government to follow up Sharpe’s punishment by the im- mediate indictment of Huntington. Two bold, defiant and wealthy bribers in jail at the, same time would indeed be an instructive and useful lesson. : An Hotel-Ksepers’ Combi ne. From the Chicago Tribune. Itis announced that the hotel-keepers of New York will meet at Saratoga to-morrow for the purpose of forming an alleged ‘‘associa- tion for mutual protection. The idea will strike the general public as somewhat novel, for heretofore there has been a general im- pression that it is the public which stands in needof protection against the hotels, with their lordly employes and the invisible mag- nates who fix the tariffs in the Eastern cara- vansaries. The public will be happily disap- pointed if the so-called association for mutual protection does not turn out to be a ‘fcombine’’ for the further impoverish- ment of travelersand watering-place visit- ors. The hotel-keepers already take all the guest has in his pocket, but by making acombine they may succeed in compelling him to draw upon his friends at home for the larger part of their personal property also. The Eastern hotels of any pretensions now charge from 6 to $16 per diem for rooms, whether occupied all the time or not, and for food whether eaten or not. It is this ex- cessive tariff which Induces so many people to go abroad rather than patronize home sum- mer resorts with their ruinous hotel charges. They can save their passage money in the difference in rates between European and New York hotels. If the forthcoming com- bine takes any action looking to a further in- crease it may look forward to increased Eu- ropean travel and a corresponding deccease in the combine’s own business. The Kings of the Hotels. From Town Topics. The summer hotel servant will always bea nightmare to the guest. The owner is not much better off, either, for while the servant robs the stranger, he bulldozes his employer with the constant threat of abandoning him helpless, with a house full of guests. The white servants are the surliest and most disgusting. They have a hangdog, sneaking way about them, when they conceive themselves ag- grieved by not being tipped, or by not being tipped enough. Without being openly in- solent, they scowl and dawdle and execute orders in a left-handed and careless fashion, full of aggravation to the victim. The negro makes no scruple of being impudent to the guest he does not like. The white slavey is too cowardlyforthis. Atthe older Southern resorts they have often excellent servants, al- ways blacks, who are employed the rest of the year as house servants to private families. They are fond of the tip, but are always civil, even to a confirmed tipophobist. It is part of their education. But all the insolence and negligence of professional waiters. fade into insignificance beside the sublimated imperti- nence of the young men and women who go In- to the business to pick up a little easy money, and who consider themselves above their em- ployment and better than the people they serve. It Is Too Much. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. But the slow-going and hard-headed En- glish are awaking to the fact that the Ameri- can style of riding is the true one, after all. They have recently had this impressed on them by the good horsemanship of Buffalo Bill and his ‘‘Wild West’’ riders, and they have allatonce become extravagant in their admiration for the American method as com- pared with their own. The information is now being sent back to the Anglo-maniacs on this side the water that the American style of sitting firmly in the saddle, as if horse and rider had but one will, instead of rising in the English way, is loudly proclaimed the most graceful by extreme fashionables as well as by professional critics in sporting papers. In other words, the English seem to begin to understand that, in order to ride well, it is not necessary to make a spectacular jump- ing-jack of oneself, But this is hard on our American Anglo- maniacs, poor fhings! Have all their labor and tribulations in acquiring the British style been for nothing? In order to follow the English, must they now go to work and not only unlearn everything they have learned, but positively ride as the beastly Americans } do? ꝙ— The Meanness of Royalty. From the Philadelphia Times. The mere puppet show that royalty in En- giand really is had many queer illustrations during the recent jubilee. The corpora- tion ball was only a royalty exhibit, the visit- ing Princes being conducted through a jabber- ing, pushing, perspiring crowd to a platform where they were stared at and commented upon as if they were a group at Mme. Tus- saud’s. There was not a court function of any kind that was not remarkable for the i- breeding of the upper middle classes. At the Queen’s garden party Her Majesty was almost mobbed in her tent. Meanness, too, marched side by side with mu- breeding. When the Queen laid the corner-stone of the Imperial Institute Her Majesty mony was over the casket was withdrawn. Another example of meannéss was the jubilee ball atthe Inner Temple. When it was sup- the ball would be free three thousand benchers signified their intention to be pres- ent; when tickets were charged for at the rate of £1 is each, only one thousand loyal lawyers were Willing to pay. No event during Victoria’s reign has been so destructive of English pres- tige as the jubilee. A Prohibition Lesson. From the New York Sun. Prohibifion in the State of Rhode Island is manifestly a failure. In thé city of Provi- dence, where an average ot $100,000 was col- lected yearly in license fees, up to about one year ago, liquor is now sold freely and without any restraint Whatever. New bar-rooms are being fitted up, and in many instances the usual signs of the liquor trafiic are openly dis- played in the windows. And yet Rhode Island is a law-abiding com monwealth. Nowhere in the broad Union are the laws, apart from those against liquor sell- ing, more faithfully enforced and more gener- ally obeyed. Golden-Haired, Not Red. From the New York Tribune. John D. Perry of 8t. Louis isa guest at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He is one of the wealthy and solid citizens of the metropolis of the Mis- sissippi Valley, and enjoys added prominence as the father-in-law of the red-headed and fiery young Democratic Mayor of that city. He is asmall man, with high cheek- bones and a full gray beard. ‘‘We are going to have Pres- ident Cleveland in St. Louis,’’ he said yester- day, ‘‘in spite of the Republican press, and we shall do him honor when he comes.

New Tonk, July %2%.—The WORLD says: In some gossip about the Republican candi- dates for State offices this year, it is said that ‘more interest will be taken in the nomination for Attorney-General than for any other officer, and ifasuitable man is selected, the corporations will contribute largely to the campaign fund.’ No doubt. But there will be some sharp pinching of corporation fingers if they do not keep out of politics.’’ THE SUN. „By a report in the Erie r. Henry George ty, we learn that The Sun says: Herald of the address which tice the THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘Gov. Foraker is one of the men who are entitled tosay what the Re- — party means. Those who honestly esire to know will not be contented to accept the sneering or lying accounts of political adversaries, but will seek in his words and in the arguments of other representative men of that party, an exposition of its beliefs and aims. Gov. Foraker represents victorious Republicanism ina great central State, and was elected over one of the most popular Democrats in the 5 whose triumph in 1883 prepared the way for President Cleve- land‘’s election. Between the East and the West, Ohio shares the sympathies and opinions of both and its Republicans, by their courage, frankness and ability, have repeat- ediy turned the scale in national contests.

Kindergarten Troubles, To the Editor ale Post- Dispatch: As a lover of justice alow me to thank you for your timely article in Wednesday’s Post- DISPATCH entitled: ‘‘Wouldn’t Co-Operate.*’ Without stopping to question the logic of seeking ‘‘voluntary co-operation’’ through compulsion, it is a significant fact that volun- tary co-operation is deemed an essential req- uisite to the success of the kinder- garten. That such is the fact, is snown dy its being made the test of kindergarten teachers. Indeed co-operation was the watchword amon kindergarten teachers until very recently; it was the da- mental idea that led to the forming of classes for mutual help and improvement, and no one who ever enjoyed the privilege of attending the Saturday morning kinde n classes a few years ago, who saw the b t, eager hap- piness of its many earnest members, can doubt that co-operation then was most heartily voluntary. Little rivalry, less self- agrandizement, ambition found its main object in promotin the general good. This un ited little band ‘ with its eager hopes soon became a cause ot alarm to the Board, who chronically divided in itself, could not brook active harmony ina body subject to ita authority. The result we know, ! And to-day we find this same Board attempting to dress up the skeleton of what was oncea healthy living organism, in the semblance of its former self. How? compelling co-operation, forgetting that the soul, the spontaneous, ready assent that made union possible has flown, and that at best it will be but a skeleton to be moved by wires, never to grow. J. B. St. Louis, July 23. The Board’s Fault. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: I was glad to see in your issue of Wednesday that there is at last a disposition to look on the other side of the kindergarten trouble. No person who will conscientiously investigate all the facts in the case can fail to be con- vinced that within the pasttwo years the best interests of the kindergartens have been sacrt- ficed to the rsonal preferences of certain members of the Board. The dissatisfaction in the kindergartens began when responsible positions were filled in utter disregard of com- petency, and it has been increased by con- tinued acts of injustice and petty persecution. result has been the with- of over one-fourth of the kindergarten directors—the majority by volunta resignations. It needs only a moment's reflection to prove that teachers do not give up good positions for uncertain pros- pects without strong cause. This is especially so of kindergarten teachers, who can only se- cure new positions by the sacrifice of home and friends. The responsibility of the pres- ent condition of affairs rests ry ty te the Superintendent. A member of the Board has stated that the Superintendent had been given unlimited power to deal with the kindergarten trouble. Asa result of his dealing with it has been the withdrawal of a number of the best teachers it is to be hoped that the Board may be induced to withdraw their gift of un- limited power or find worthier hands in which to intrustit. I also think if the School Board have ‘‘unlimited power’’ to give it be- hooves the people to be a little more careful in the selection of the members. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

DECIDED GAINS FOR THE LIBERALS IN THE RECENT ELECTIONS, a Heavy Inroads Made on Conservative Ma- jorities by the Gladstone Liberals—The Government’s Retrograde Movement in Connection With the Irish Land B Dr. Tanner and Mr. Long—The Former Provoked—Goschen’s Bad Break. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. _ Lowpon, July 2%.—The elections ot last week show decided gains for the Liberals. There were three bye elec. tions. In the Lambeth division of London, the Marquis of Carmarthen was elected to the House of Commons by a majority of 828. This showed a falling-off in the Conservative vote, the loss being about 100. The Marquis of Car. marthen is the eldestson of the Duke ot Leeds, He is 27 years old, and a graduate of Eton and Cambridge. Hg is interested in a suburban distillery, and has reached Parliament through the usual channel of preliminary training as a ministerial private secretary. For some time he has been one of the unpaid private secretaries of the Secretary ot State for the counties, Sir Henry Holland. In the other election the Conservative candidats was elected with a loss of 400 votes on those registered at the last election. In Basing. stoke, Mr. Jeffreys, the Conservative candi. date, was elected, but the Gladstone Liberal gained 1,000 votes. This is also such a strong Conservative district that it was not even con. tested by the Liberals at the last election. The gains thus made now in seven election dis. tricts, have given great encouragement to the Liberals and have exercised a great influence on the Conservative Ministry. Mr. Gladstone, at a party given by Lady Margaret Sandhurst, said that the Liberals never come out 80 strong in bye elections as they do in general elections, and that the gains, therefore, were all the more encouraging. THE GOVERNMENT'S BACK-DOWN. The great event of the week in politics hag been the retrograde movement by the Minis- try in connection with the Irish land bill. They had intended to whip this bill through under the spur of cloture last week, but they were notified by Mr. Chamberlain and otber Liberal-Unionists that they could not com- mand their votes unless they should consent to adopt certain amendments. Lord Salls- bury explained to his associates at the meet- ing of the Carleton Club the necessity for ac- ceding to the demands of the LIber- al-Unionists, or else to stand confront- ed with a defeat which would insure the fall of the Ministry. The ministers made the confessions with no regard forthe people of Ireland, but simply because they were forced to do so by their Liberal-Unionist al- lies. Thebill, as amended, will materially restrict the power of the Government to carry The modifications will give the land commissioners power for the space of three years to adjust the rent of leaseholders on the application either of land- lords or tenants, basing their calculations as to the value of the produce according to the recognized standard. The compulsory dank. ruptey clauses are also to be dropped from the bill. THE TANNER INCIDENT. Nothing has shown the effectof the eleo- tions on the Ministry more than their attempts to make out a case against Dr. Tanner, and so stir up public sentiment against the Irish mem- bers. Their clumsy and bungling manage- ment ot this littie affair was doomed to de- feat. The Government would undoubtedly have pressed for Dr. Tanner’s punishment it the Speaker had not checked them in their furious folly by holding that Dr. Tanner's. apology put an end tothe case. This decision obliges the Ministry to make a humiliating withdrawal of ite motion. Dr. Tanner is an eccentric member. He is very passionate and makes it a point to 4s- sociate with none except the members of his own political party. He hates the Tories and has declined to speak to any mem- ber of that political faction. A member of the name of Long took occasion to approach Tan- ner last week in the lobby, when the latter gentleman was in a great passion because bis vote had not been counted in the division. Mr. Long spoketo Dr. Tanner in a jeering manner about the loss of his vote, knowing perfectly well Dr. Tanner’s peculiarities and the reply which might have been expected. Dr. Tanner used violent language, but instead of resenting it at the time, Long came in the House with a written statement as to the language used against him and asked for special protection. The charge made by hin is as follows: ‘I said: ‘Did not something go wrong with you in the division, Dr. Tanner? What was it?’ His answer was: ‘You are one of the Tories, aln 't you?, My reply was: ‘Yes, certainly.’ To that he replied: ‘Then I wish to God you would not speak to me again. I have told you d——d Tories before, not to speak to me. You have your d——d lot; talk to them.’ To that 1 replied: ‘I beg your pardon. I was not aware that you did not wish to be spoken to.’ To which he replied: ‘Well, I wish you would keep your d—<d tongue in yourfips, and not make a d——<d fool of yourself.’ He then re- treated tothe centerof the lobby, where he shouted, There is a d——d snob for you. EXTREMELY RIDICULOUS. Nothing so ridiculous can be imagined as this calling a member to the bar to account for man whom he chooses to regard as his per- sonal enemy, and with whom he had carefully abstained from having any communication until it was forced on him by anidie and di- rect question. It was a case well suited to the capacity of the minister. Any shrewd of political managers would have been glad to drop the case, after Dr. Tanner’s explanation and full apol- ogy; but Mr. Goschen persisted, and actually putthe case in such a way asto make the veracity of the English member appear to have a higher value in the eyes of the Govern- went than that of the Irish member. Goschen gave such a handle to the Opposition that the discomfiture of the Ministry would have been great if the Speaker had not interfered. The latest developments point toa change in the Cabinet, so as to take in Lord Hartington. It is said that his share in the modification of the land bill warrants this.

If he could over- haul Hanlan so easily on the homestretch and knew that he was outof his course,why didn’t he win the race? The answer given to this query by a large number of persons wus not complimentary to Gaudaur nor his backer. The referee stated that at the end of the first mile Gaudaur fell behind a number of lengths and was not seen to turn the stake at all. Gau- daur’s claim that his boat was half filled with water was disputed by several who were atthe boat house when he came in. His backer, Mr. St. John, said that he advised Gaudaur to * though not required to do so by the terms o the agreement, in order to satisfy the crowd. Although the race was awarded to Hanian the impression was prevalent among Gau- daur's friends that he (Gaudaur) would insist upon a tion of it before Hanilan leaves for Australia.

Some weeks ago it seemed quite probable that a special meeting of the American Associ- ation would be held some time this month. No call has yet been issued, and there is now very little chance of there being such a meet- ing in July, says the Enqulrer. Indeed, it is hardly — thatthe members of the organ ization will convene before the regular fall meeting. A call for a special meet- ing at this time would do no harm, and it might do a great deal of good. In unity there is strength, and in no way can ood fellowship and amicable relations be bet- er fostered than by frequent conventions of the members and an interchange of views. There is no rupture of any kind between the members of the Association, and it might be argued that there is no sense or neosesity in callin their members together, as it woul onl incur a needless expense. On the other hand, the meeting would be a good thing at this time. It would give the members an opportunity of exchanging their views on the 7 system, the umpire question and other points, an ut them in a position to fortify themselves against any encroachments on their rights and priv- lleges by the older body. ‘There is no dues- tion but what the Association is now in a ö — to become the greatest dase ball organization in the country. It has the cities, the teams an the wealth at its command to take the lead- ing place in the base ball world. If the mem- bers will but come together, put aside all per- sonal feeling and work for the one common cause—the good of the Association—they will be in a stronger position this fall than they ever were before. By all means let a special meeting be called. It couid be held at a point some time next month, when all the teams are in the West, without causing much expense. Cleveland, Cincinnati or Louisville would be good places for such a meeting. Clips and Chips. son never reads any newspa- a game that he ye nor is work. Umpire Fer per reports o any criticisms of or reflections upon weeks the tall enders have been the slugging. Sam Barkly appears to be rapidly get- ting back into the shape which enabted him to play such brilliant ball for the Pitts- burg team last season. Munyan, the Clevelands new catcher, was a member ofthe disbanded Bridgeport team. He is a clever base-runner, an accurate thrower and a fair batter. Dunlap’s fielding average is .951. In his last thirty games he bad six errors, put out ninety- five men, and assisted in 5 of 107, an average for these games of .971. Conway,the Detroit pitcher, who made a good record at the commencement of the sea- son, is again practicing, and will hasten to the rescue of the club, which is losing ground very fast. Vian, the great Northwestern League pitcher, who held the Detroits down totwo hits in the spring, still continues his good work in the box. He willbe im an Association or League club next season. There is, happily, one base ball team that the local club can beat every time and wherever it plays.

Bancroft of New Bedford, Mass., has received a letter releasing him from the management of the Athletic Base Ball Club of Philadelphia. Thisisin accordunce with his request. He will probably not be connected with base ball any more this season. A peculiar feature of the Washington- Detroit ten-inning game at Washington, July 19, was that three men oneach side did all the bat- ting, Hines, Dailey and Meyers making the seven hits for Washington, while Twitchell, Brouthers and Hanlon made eight hits for De- troit. 9 enough, Brouthers made four hits, Twitchell three, while batsmen like Richardson, Rowe, Thompson, White and Ganzel could not even make one. The story from Duluth aboutthe playing of Bingham, pitcher of the Harvards, with the local nine of professionals, is thought by college men to be manufactured out of whole cloth, and to be the work of some sensational writer. Some one, it seems, has done a bungling piece of work. Bingham lives in New York State, and must have known that it would be impos- sible to keep secret the fact of his playing pro- fessionally. It is thought that his name has been confused with that of Dan Bickham, the ex- Princeton pitcher, who played with the Du- luths last season. What makes the matter seem more improbable is that Bingham made such afine record this season and has two years before him in college. He would scarcely sacrifice his career on the university nine by such a foolish move as he is alleged to have made. His friends scout the idea. —[Bos- ton Globe.

Graduates of the College Tell Tales Out of School. From the New Haven Palladium. While discussing education generally, last evening, a gentleman asked the fol- lowing question: „How many of the graduates of Yale University do you suppose go through the irely without assistance from fellow students, and without the as- sistance of translations or any assistance other than can be obtained in the class- room?“ The recent graduate to whom the ques- tion was put said that he didn’t suppose there was one, but finally came to the con- clusion that there might be many, and inquired why the question was asked. Well,” said the other, ‘‘I have a boy in the sophomore class. He has just finished his freshman year, and last evening he came to me and wanted $10 to buy books for next year. I gave him the money and off he went down town. Hecame in rather late and went to bed. This morning I thought I would look atthe books which he had purchased, so lasked him to pro- duce them, feeling somewhat proud of the boy’s having manifested interest enough in his studies to buy books and study dur- ing vacation: He seemed rather reluctant to produce the books. This surprised me, and finally I informed him that he must do aslasked. He went out of the room and I expected that he would come back with some formidable looking volumes. I was disappointed, however, for he ap- peared with a dirty looking roll of aper, which proved to have once een a 5-cent note book. He handed it to me with a rather sheepish look. I was so much surprised that at firstI said nothing, but on questioning found that the book contained all the problems of Prof. Phillips’ course, worked out and numbered. It was a curious-looking col- lection, and about as intelligible to me as Choctaw. Up in the corner of each page was alittle column of figures and some algebraic symbols, while below were a couple of lines crossed at right angles and across them were drawn curves. asked him what it all meant, and he said: Those are Andy Phillips’s problems, and I’ll never get through next year un- less Ihaveit. I gave a senior $10 for it and the price was low at that. He wanted $20, but was awfully hard up, so helet me have it for $10.’ As he explained it, the book had been handed down from class to class, and through it many diplomas had been ob- tained at Yale. I don’t know what I will do with the book, but I have it locked up at home, and I am of the opinion now that I’ll burn it up and see what the result will be on the class of 90 Little Jack Seligman. From the Philadelphia Press. A little bit of a man, not 5 feet high, stood on tiptoe in front of Cashier Kel- cey’s window at the West End Hotel this morning and timidly asked him for a pair of scissors. When they were handed to him he pulled a roll of national bank bills from his coat pocket. They were in sheet form, just as postage stamps come, and he clipped off a 3100 bill. He wrote his name across its facein the space re- served for the President's auto- graph, and then coolly asked Cashier Kel- cey tochangeitfor him. Mr. Kelcey ac- commodated this maker of currency after earefully inspecting it and seeing that it wasa bona fide noteof a national bank in Michigan. The little man with this envi- able power as a money-maker was Mr. Jacob Seligman, whois known through all Michigan as Little Jake.’’ He was the leading clothing merchant of the State until he became a banker and rail- road financier, as well as one of the biggest lumber merchants in that region. He is now a millionaire, a director in nine banks and four railroads, and the owner of considerable real estate in the Sault Ste. Marie region. Some people say that he will be the richest man in the State if he lives to realize on his present investments. Yethe went outto Michigan twenty-five vears ago with only $100 in his pockets. He m strange way. In order to start in the clothing business he obtained credit for $200 worth of goods. He spent the $100 cash he had in hiring a wagon, a brass band and four horses, and investing in circulars and advertising. He made it known that Little Jake would reach town at a certain hour and distribute socks and overalls free from his wagon in the public square. He told me to-day that he emptied his wagon load to a throng of people, scattering over their heads at the same time a perfect cloud of dodgers stating that he was going to sell them all sorts of clothing for e next month. For fifteen years Little Jake fol- lowed this quaint scheme for making him- self known, traveling from town to town until he had a store established in every important city in the State. He was not only the biggest clothing dealer, but the biggest 288 advertiser as well. + Since then he has ther | toward becoming the biggest banker, but —4 is still the smallest man in the State in size. e his fortune in a made rapid strides A Church Member Asks a Day Off.

The men who predict a decrease movement to market know as much about it as those who said wheat could not sell at 7c.—— It is stated that the California clique went into the wheat deal because they thought that eneral consumption had overtaken pro- uction and that at the time tbe loss of one-half of the California cro seemed imminent. From step to step their operations have attained’ to dimensions not originally foreseen by them, but which will now oblige them to hold on, which it is thought they are able to do, bein possessed of ample megns. Shoul the weatherin the Northwest and in Europe favor them they may have aresonable chance to gradually dispose ef their holdings on fa- vorable terma, particularly as the stocks in the United Kingdom are not likely to increase for some time. On the contrary, should the case be otherwise, their loss no doubt would be heavy. The de- clinein California wheat at Liverpool during the past four or five weeks amounts to about 10 cents per bushel, thus leaving less margin for a further decline. Wheat—Receipts of nearly 405 ,000 bu knocked . down %c this morning, the bears aving for a short time complete possession of the market. They went at it hammer and tongs at the opening, and with theirsales and the long stuff that came out the market was completely demoralized. The lower figures, however. attracted good buy- ing, though principally on shorts cover- ing. and the deoline was finally stayed. A decline of 10 in New York, dull cables and free offerings on every slight recovery, held the market down,and a nervous and generally weak emmy, A peSvanen, The strength shown by corn in Chicago and the improvement in wheat there,after its lower opening, — some stiffening in the local market and it sold u tec.

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT. The Perfermance of ‘‘As You Like It’’ for the Actors’ Fund. By Telegraph to the Posr-Dtsr ren. Boston, July 2%5.—The performance of As You Like It’’ on the lawn in front of the Mas- conomo House at Manchester-by-the-Sea, early in August, is promising to be an inter- esting incident. The receipts are to be de- voted to the Actors’ Fund. Already 200 seats have been sold at $5 each, and asthe demand is still active there will possibly be a large au- dience present. Mrs. Agnes Booth- Schoeftel has sought the assistance of her most distinguished theatrical friends and they have responded with that generous fervor which is proverbial among stage people, when a charitable object is in view. e cast is nearly completed, and ite collective notability surpasses any in the history of Sbhakspearean representations in this country. Rose Coghlan is to tread the green sward as Rosalind; Osmond Tearle will make love to her as Orlando, the bells and bauble of Touchstone will be worn by Stuart bson; Frank Mayo is coming all the way from Crockett Lodge in the Pennsylvania mountains, to don the doublet and on" of Jaques. Mrs. Schoeffel, herself 20 famous Rosalind, will be the Audrey, and Miss Minnie Conway, the Celia. To give note to the entire production Crane, Lilian Conway, Fred Conway, J. B. Mason, Frazer Coulter and Harry Meredith have consented to appear in minor roles. The lawn of the Masconomo House is adapt- ed for the natural stage and auditorium. Trees and surubs will form a pict- uresque an d appropriate background. A feature will be made of the As You Like It“ music, which will be sung by Lili Conway and chorus. Wm. Seymour of t Museum, will be the stage manager. Thata wide degree of interest has been stimulated by the announcement of this unique perform- ance is shown by the many applications for seats that have already been received from people in Boston, New York, and the Maine and Massachusetts watering-places.

CLUBS HEAVEN-SENT. Felton Astunishes His Congregation— The Pastor Explains. A good-sized smile was the biggest feature of yesterday morning’s service at Union Meth- odist Church, Garrison and Lucas avenues. It was the smile of satisfaction that comes over a person’s face when he feels a certain doubtful course has received a timely vindication. Dr. Felton, the pastor, was speaking without manuscript and was sailing along smoothly when he elec- trified the audience by saying, and I believe the club is a Heaven-sent institution.’’ After the sermon there Was a good deal of buzzing about the remark, and everybody was asking whether the pastor had meant to grade the club as bigh asthe church. Union is the leading ethodist Church in the Southwest and its pulpit expressions therefore unusually important. At the even- ing service the conversation of the members again turned on the indorsement of the club, and there were more talking about it than in the morning, as it had spread through the arish during the day. After the evening sery- ce Dr. Felton was halted by a POsST-DISPATCH reporter balf-way down the main aisle and told to stand and deliver an explanation, which he did with some surprise that any talk should have been occasioned... ‘‘I was speak ing about some men whose habits are so bad thata respectable man cannot admit them Dr. into his house to meet his wife and daughters. Yet these men have to be associated with in business lite. To meet such cases as that I said the club seemed to be a heaven-sent institution. It was not an indorsement of club life particularly It was said in a kind of joke, wasn’t it, doctor?’’ ‘*Well, it had a point, too, that I think was understood. * Clearing Sale — Furnishing Department — Globe.

A BLAINE REPUBLICAN’S FALL. Frank Nevins, Brother-in-Law of James G. Blaine, Jr., Dismissed. By Telegraph to the Posr-Drera ren. AvuGusTA, Me., July 2%.—Frank Nevins on Saturday received notice from Washington that his services as clerk to Superintendent Lombard of the new public building in this city, would be no longer needed. Nevinsisa brother to Mre. James G. Blaine, Jr., and has made bimself particularly obnoxious to the Democrats of this city, who asked for his re- moval. Henry Pishon, register letter clerk inthe Post-office, has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Mr. Pishon is a soldier and reves his country faithfully during the war. e Was an uncompromising Democrat, and his appointment is very pleasing to the Demo- crats here. An Offensive Partisan. By Telegraph to the Fosr-DisrA Tron. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 25.—The dismissal of Nevins was not ordered from Washington, and very little is known here officially of the merits of the case. The responsibility for the dismissal rests with the Superintendent at Boston. The Treasury Department has re- ceived no information regarding the case. Nevins is a Republican, however, and there have been protests against bis retention in the service from Democrats. Fromali that can be learned here Nevins appears to have courted dismissal by neglecting his work and resuming on his connection with the Biaine ily through his sister’s marriage. He wished to pose as a martyr to the Blaine tandard, he late supervising architect, ell, is a strong Republican, and retained as many Republicans in the service as he could, regardless of their efliciency.

See A GRAND SCHEME. PROPOSED ANNUAL FIELD EXERCISE FOR MILITIA AND REGULARS. ä * Congress to Be Asked to Make Appropria- tion for Transportation and Maintenance of the Militia During the Maneuvers— The Latter to Take Place in September or October—Periodical Mobilization of the Regular and Citizen Soldiery. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTca. of instruction, drill tournaments and gallery and range practice in marksmanship form three valuable sources of improvement for the militia, an important additional means of efficiency might be obtained by a resort to the system of autumn maneuvers on which for- eign countries lay so much stress. A move- ment is accordingly now in progress to secure the co-operation of Congress and the army authorities in holding an annual series of field exercises in which regulars and militia shall take part. Congress would be expected to make an appropriation for the transportation and maintenance of militia during the maneuvers, while the War Department would direct all available regular troops stationed in the neighborhood tòô par- ticipate. The time selected would be October or late in September, when marching, which must form a large portion of the fleld opera- tions, could be done with safety and comfort. This idea, it will be perceived, is quite differ- ent from that of the proposed national en- campment of militia during the first three days of July, on the fleld of Gettysburg. The experience of the present summer shows how small would be the chances of procuring. during the sweltering heats of July,an amount ot practical work sufficient to justify the large outlay of time and money in bring- ing the troops together. In autumn, on the other hand, good marching weather could be relied on. Carried out in a thorough and sen- sible way, autumn field exercises would un- doubtedly prove successful. They would secure an approach to that PERIODICAL MOBILIZATION OF TROOPS which is rightly held in European countries to be of prime importance. They would accustom regulars and citizen soldiers to act together as they would do in actual campaigning, 80 enabling each to derive advantages therefrom. The militia would gather from their pro- fessional comrades points which must be learned from time to time from those to whom soldiering is the business of life. The regular officers, some of whom have never seen a full regiment of United States troops in line, would be abie to exercise themselves in commands as general and field officers, to which, as in the civil war, they would be called, should hostilities on any extensive scale break out. Again, a proper choice of ground for the maneuvers would lead to studies in attack and defense at or near points where operations might be — expected in a war witha foreign country. he perma- nent success of such experiments would pos- sibly be greutest if the plan adopted should be that of giving different sections of the country the benefit of them — succs- sive years. For example, should Philadel- phia be the scene during one season of maneuvers, it could engage the services of all the National Guard to Central and Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and South- ern New Jersey, while regular batteries could be sent from Washington and from New York harbor. A second scene of maneuvers might be on the line of Lake Erie, where militia forces of Ohio, Western New York and Penn- Sylvania and some of the regular infantry in garrison on the lake frontier could meet, and if the scene of the operations should be well to the West the National Guard of Michigan, Indiana and Illinois could join in with the troops from the new post at Chicago. So, unless Chesapeake Bay or the Potomac should be made the scene of a distinct set of — cou be maneuvers, the Virginia — a urg or other moved to Philadelphia or Gettys ground selected in Pennsylvania. THE MAIN IDEA would be not to incur too great expenses for transportation of troops from a great distance for maneuvers, which need only last two or three days, when by changing the scene in successive years the same practical results could be economically secured with a maxi- mum of attendance from all troops, regular and! militia, within a radius of several hun- dred miles. An ideal c -ndition of favoring circumstances for autumn maneuvers exists in New York Harbor. There, within a radius of ten miles, is concentrated a larger force of National Guard than can be found anywhere else in ten times the area. Taking a radius of fifty miles the forces which might be gathered from New York Connecticut and New Jersey would be still more considerable. Even the most distant could be assembled at the required point in two orthree hours, while the vast facilities for economical water transportation by steamboats and barges would allow the land- ing of troops for a simulated attack on the New Jersey coust, on the south shore of Long Island, or on either shore of the S und, ac- cording to the scene selected. Combined with this could be the rapid garrisoning of harbor forts by a part of the militia for practice with heavy guns. The engineers at Willet’s Point, the marines of the navy yard und detachments of blue jackets from tbe North Atlantic squadron, could find an ap- ropriate part in the exercises. The main orces need go no further than Hempstead Plains for an open battlefield, and not so far for skirmishing. Whatever action Congress may take on the new proposition, the States of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New —.— and Pennsylvania could, with comparatively slight expense, ar- range for a series of autumn maneuvers last- ing aduy or twoevery year in the region of New York, which would undoubtedly be a pointaimed at byan enemy. The combined militia of these six States, with the portions of regular army and navy available, could con- oo 6a series of maneuvers at that point. TRAIN ROBBER CAPIURED.

Hawk, a grocery clerk, was be- fore Judge Cady this morning on a charge of garrying concealed weapons. Saturday night Hawk went into Babe Connor’s disreputable colored house, flashed a detective’s commis- sion on the inmates and proceeded to make life miserable for them. He was arrested and a huge revolver taken from him. Despite his protests that he was an officer, he was locked on acharge of c ing concealed weapons. This 1 the Police Court his defense detective authorized was that he was 4 to weapons, and in support of what he claimed showed his com ion. It was an elegantly engraved document stating that he was the dul authorized agent in St. Louis of the Fennel Detective Agency of Pennsylvania, and that he was empowered to carry concealed weapons and make arrests. He had paid $20 foritanda card. The commission was evi- dently intended to be framed and hung up at home, while the card was to be carried in his pocket as a proof of his authori to arrests and c weapons. aw by the Court that the commission was very pretty, indeed, fully as pretty as anything he had seen in the line of a commission, but was very expensive at the rice—$20. if Hawk could afford to pay that much out to a bogus detective agency he could pay a similar amount tothe city, and he would therefore assess his fine at $20 and costs, or $23 all told. As Hawk had already aid an attorney $17, the commission cost him Bo and considerable trouble. Heis only one ofthe many would-be detectives who are takenin by these bogus detective agencies and sold handsome, but worthless, commis- sions at very fancy prices. A DESPONDENT WOMAN.
