Sr. PETERSBURG, August 22.—-Itis officially announced that the Government has sent a circular to the Powers dedlaring that it is unable to recognize the validity of Prince Ferdinand’s election to the throne of Bulgaria. According to the cireular, Prince Ferdifand acquainted the Czar with the fact of his election and requested permission to visit St. Petersburg in order to learn the Czar's wishes before going to Bul- garia. The Ozar replied that the Prince’s election would not be recognized by Russia, and that the Prince could by no pretext justity his journey to Bulgaria. The circular, in con- clusion, expresses the hope that the Bulgarian people will coincide with Russian views and not permit a flagrant violation of the Berlin treaty. The Moscow Gazette says the:Russian circular to the Powers regarding Prince Ferdinand has given great satisfaction throughout Russia. It believes Prince Ferdinand’s retirement now to be inevitable, and says that if he does not wave Bulgaria Russia will renounce her obli- gations,under the Berlin treaty, Which she has always regarded as a bitter deception after. a glorious war.’’ | England. CHAMBERLAIN’S SPEECH. Lowpox, August 23.—The Standard .com- menting on Mr. Chamberlain’s speech at Bir- mingham, says: ‘‘The Gladstonians will be disappointed to know that Mr. Chamberlain’s voice gives forth as clear as ever his reaffirma- tion of fidelity to the Unionist cause.’’ RUSSELL EXPLAINS. Mr. T. W. Russell, M. P., who left the Liberal-Unionist party because of the procla- mation of the National League, has written a letter to explain his resignation. He says: ‘‘I have done my best to persuade my party and the Government from proclaiming the League, but have failed. The Government in my opinion have sped their last bullet and have handed over Ulster to Parnell. Iconfess that my heart burned with indignation to see my friends sacrificing the Union and sacrificing loyal tenants to a handful of unreasonrble landlords deserving of nobody’s considera- tion.’’ Ireland. THE LEAGUE MEETING. ’ DUBLIN,.August 22.—The Loughrea.- and Ar- magh branches of the National League met yesterday and resolved to continue work not- withstanding the proclamation of the League. Mr. Parnell’s presence in Paris has no polit- ical significance. One of the objects of his visit is to inspeet the work done at the French end of the Channel tunnel. Germany.

He says he will return at once, as the object of his absence from Manitoba has now been served. At a meeting of the Cabinet Council held yesterday it was decided to lay rails and ties, despi 0 injunction, and if any forcible resistance is offered -the Government will be backed by five thousand citizens, or all that are wanted. Hundreds drove out yesterday to view the piece of work across the lots for which an injunction was issued. THE WORK. The injunction against the Red River Valley Railroad has not interfered with the work as yet. Nothing more can de done until Wednesday. By that time several contractors will have finished their contracts and by Saturday all the grading will be done.

The condition of United States Marshal Couzins this morning was consideraoly worse than it has been for days past. A very painful and dangerous swelling of the] has taken of his iiness is not one from which sudden danger is expected, still the family and friends of the patient gwould not be 1 — at the worst at any moment. His son John, who has been in constant at- tendance upon his father since the latter’s ill- ness, was yesterday prostrated witha serious iliness, to judge from its effects, the nature of which is not yet known. The trouble seems to be with his stomach, which appears to be in a state of congestion, and the iliness is probably the result of over-straining b if in lifting his father to and from his bed. His condition issuch as to greatiy alarm the family and fearsfor his safety are enter- tained by his physician. The Tobacco Report. By Telegraph to the Posr-DisrAron. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 22.—A com- mittee representing the leading tobacco-grow- ers of the West and South arrived yesterday to protest against the July report of Statistician Dodge of the Agricultural gene regard- ing this year’s tobacco crop. This report, they cluim, is a gross misstatement of facts, and has been the means of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the pockets of the American fee Sewers. he committee will have a hearing before Commissioner Col- man to-day and will possibly demand Mr. Dodge's removal. A Female Bruiser. Alice Hastings, who was fined last week Judge Cady for keeping a very disreputable house on North Eleventh street, and who was given a week to leave the city, was up this morning in the same court on a charge of dis- turbing the peace. Pernelia Murts, who was formerly an inmate of the house, was the prosecuting witness. She testified that when che learned the character of the house she refused to stay. Alice Hastings wanted to know why she could not remain, and when she still persisted in leaving, struck her in the face. he Hastings woman admit- ted striking her, but denied it was for the cause Claimed. Judge Cady fined her $10. Judge Noonan’s Docket. Judge Noonan disposed of a number of cases to-day, a nollie prosequi was entered in the case of William H.

A BAD DETZAT FOR THE ONCE POWERFUL HOME CLUB. ‘Election of Delegates to the Minneapolis Conventions — A Threatened General Lockout of Shoe-Factery Employes — Discontented Workmen at Pullman — 4 Reduction of Wages—Towboys on a Strike—Labor News. ‘ By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATcH. NEw Yorx«, August 22.—The Home Club of District Assembly 49 Knights of Labor ot this vicinity was defeated yesterday. The odca- sion was the election of delegates tothe Gen- eral Assembly at Minneapolis in October. Every delegate who could be was present, and at one time about 500 men and women were in the hall. About 4 o’clock the proper order of business was reached, and sixty nominations were made. T. B. McGuire, who was considered one of the strongest men in the district, and who was made a general executive officer last year at Richmond, was nominated among the rest, but seeing small chance of being elected he withdrew. Twelve names were voted for, and at the hour of D J. Purcell, W. B.; L. V. Moever, P. J. McGrath, Jas. J. Dealy, m. N. Reed, Michael Brestin, and Charlies McNulty. The election of these men is said to indicate oppo- sition to the present methods of the general executive board. Discontented Workmen. CHICAGO, August 22.—Discontent reigns once more among the men at Pullman. It was caused by the announcement Saturday morn- ing that the wages of all trimmers would be cut down 10 per cent. There are nearly one hundred men in the department, and fora time the striking sentiment ran high. A meeting of the Knights of Labor of the Pull- man Council was held Saturday evening, at which the situation was discussed. No de- cisive action was taken regarding the strike which 4 of the Knights seemed to feel | would be a bad thing to order at this time of year. Moreover, as two years ago a similar cut was followed by a general one in all the INR it was thought quite likely that this fall would see another order to the same effect, and it was therefore thought best to await results. The cause for the cut, given claim that as the work is done by the piece some of the men turn out an unusual amount of work, and in consequence receive an unus- salary. The company, it isclaimed, looks only at the ount earned, without regard to the hard work, and has consequently ordered the cut in wages. Another subject discussed at the meeting of Saturday was the intended stoppage of work for the season at the brick-yards. The men were out on a strike from May until July and are in a pitiable financial condition. About three hundred men, most of whom are mar- ried, will be thrown out of work bythe shut- down, which is to occur Wednesday. The shut-down takes place regularly about this time of year, and no more work will be done until next spring,except the running fora short time longer of two chamber machines, which together employ about forty men. Towboys’ Strike. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New Tonk, August 22.—The towboys in the mplog of the Bushwick Railroad Company in sburg went on a strike yesterday. The boys struck because of the discharge of one of their number, and because the hours of work were increased to twelve hours per day. They are members of the Knights of Labor, and unless the trouble is ad- justed it is expected there will be trouble on the Bushwick Railroad. The drivers and cenductors on the road are in sympathy with the towboys, and say they will help them to win the strike. It is said one of the towboys was discharged for ill-usinga horse. It being a busy day, the company em- ployed new hands in place of the strikers. The latter interfered with the green boys and threatened them with violence if they con- tinued work. The compeny called on the police for protection and policemen were stationed near the vessels and the stables and places where tlie towboys were at work. ——ů A Shoe- Factory Lockout. New York, August 22.—Before the end of this week every employe of the shoe factories in this city will probably be locked out. All that Arbitration Commissioner Donovan could do to bring about an amicable settlement of the trouble between Hanan & Son and District Assembly No. 91 of the Knights of Labor has been done, but the representatives of the Knights absolutely refuse to come to any terms upon which a settlement could be made with any justice to the firm. The Boot and Shoe Manufacturers’ Association threaten a general lockout unless the District Assembly comes to terms within the next few days. THE ICE PICK TRAGEDY. Walter P. Mueller Held to Answer for Joseph Luby’s Death. The Coroner to-day held an inquest on Joseph Luby, the young teamster who died at the City Hospital Saturday morning from the effects of a blow with an ice pick received July 26, from Walter PF. Mueller, an ice dealer. Luby was loading a wagon withice froma car onthe railroad track at Twentieth and Poplar streets, when the trouble arose. The testimony was very conflicting at the inquest to-day, some witnesses making it a most cold-blooded murder and others a case of self-defense. Lawrence Water, a boy who was with Luby testified that the latter haa bought the ice an was 8 it into his wagon when Mueller and his rother drove to the car and backing ip their wagon, began unioading ice into it from the car. As Mueller pulled out a cake Luby told him to ‘‘hold on’’ that he had paid for that ice and that it be- longed to him. Luby then put out his foot to revent Muelier’s brother taking a cake of fee trom a slide. The young man had his him over the head with an ice-pick, knocking him down. A murderous-looking ice-pick was identified by the witness asthe weapon used. Patrick Donahue, an ice-weigher, corrob- orated the boy’s statement of the affair, add- ing that he had refused to sell ice to Mueller except for cash. He also stated that Luby had bought the ice in the car, which Mueller was taking when the trouble arose. There was no provocation whatever for the assault. Another witness was examined, but knew very little of the trouble. Mueller himself was then placed in the wit- ness chair. He surrendered himself at the Four Courts at a late hour last night and was resent with his . John I. artin, with whom he h consulted before surrendering himself. He claimed that his attorney advised him to await the result of Luby’s injuries be- fore surrendering himself. e went across the river, coming to this side uently to learn news of the man. When he heard of his death he again consulted with his attorney, and by his advice surrendered himself. He testified that he noticed that the boy who was helping Luby unload ice was too small, so de volunteered to help Laby. After halt KO the latter’s I want some of wan caught hold of another piece ejaculated, ‘‘G-—— —— ——, don’t 0 any more of that ice, and at the same time his ice to to him. Mueller then struck him in the k of the head with an ice pick. He struck the blow in self-defense. Laby he made his escape ieav- by the company, is slack orders, but the men | back toward Mueller, and the latter struck | CLEVELAND’S COMING. He Will Arrive Saturday Night and Leave at Midnight Tuesday. The preparation for the President’s visit may now begin. It has been definitely determined on what day Mr. Cleve- land and his wife will arrive here and just how long he willremain. Until to-day this was a matter of doubt, and consequently no programme could be made up. To-day Mayor. Francis announced that he had definite news from the White House which would warrant him in preparing the programme for the President’s recéption and entertainment while here. The President will arrive here on Sat- urday evening, October 1, direct from Washington. He will be met at the depot by a reception committee and escorted to the hotel, where he will rest without disturbance that evening and night. On Sunday the President and his wife will probably be taken to some Presby- terlan Church. Both are members of Dr. Sunderland’s Presbyterian Church in Wasnington. It is probable they will at- tend the Second Presbyterian Ohurch here. Sunday afternoon they will be driven about the city. On Monday the President will probably visit the Fair as the guest of President Green. Monday evening the President will be given a public reception at one of the hotels. On Tuesday the President will probably visit the publio buildings. Tuesday evening he will witness the parade and ball of the Veiled Prophet. At midnight he will take a special train for Chicago. Mayor Francis will appoint the Committee of Arrangements this week. THE IVES MATTER IN COURT. An Order Issued for the Missing Books—The Proceedings. NEw YORK, August 22.—The hearing before Judge Bookstaver in the Court of Common Pieas to-day, in the Henry S. Ives & Co. as- signment, resuited in a direction from the court that Ives & Co. must appear before a ‘referee and disclose the whereabouts of the missing books. Lawyer Algernon 8. Sullivan asked that the Court direct tne members of the firm of Ives & Co. to testify to discovering certain books of the firm now missing, and which the assignee needs in making up his state- ment of the assets and liabilities of the firm. He said that he understood that ex-Congress- man J. J. Adams and Edward Lauterbach ap- peared as counsel for Mr. Ives. Mr. Lauter- Dach disclaimed being counsel for Mr. Ives, saying that only Mr. Adams appeared. He said that it appeared as though the firm of Ives & Co. expected to look, in their trouble, to either Sullivan & Cromwell or the firm of Hoadly, Lauterbach & Johnson,and as Mr. Cromwell had been made assignee it would not be well for Mr. Sullivan to represent the assigners. The firmof Hoadley, Lauter- bach & Johnson, too, b Ul qoainted with the affairs of lives & . . veynce Hoadly ts a director of the , Fort Wayne & Chi- cago, one of the principal creditors of the as- signed firm, it would be highly improper for his firm to represent them on this motion. Mr. Adams said he had no time to pre- pare the papers to meet the motion, and he intended to ask for an adjournment. IVES’ POSITION. Mr. Ives had, however, said that the matter must go on at once. He therefore made a motion for the dismissal of the application under the provisions of the assignment act that an assignor may have from twenty tothirty days to file schedules of assets and liabilities. The assignee, Mr. Adams said, had already given a full state- ment of the assets and liabilities of the firm, which he had no right to do, and he cannot now come into the court and ask for an order to discover the books after the twenty days have elapsed. Mr. Sullivan replied, saying that if every- thing was right and — the production of the missing books would be one way of an- swering the application. These books, being“ the apa ge | of the firm, should be in the custody of the assignee. Judge Bookstaver agreed with this view of the case, but said that he would be unable to conduct the examination personally, but would appoint a referee. Mr. Sullivan suggested the names of Hamil- ton Cole, ex-Judge Charles Davis and ex- Judge Charles P. Daly from which tochoose a referee. One of these gentlemen will be chosen. FIREMEN’S FOND.

All contributions to the fund for the benefit of the families of the dead firemen must be handed ia to-day and to-morrow, for the fund will close on the latter day.

The Middlemen in St. Louis to Be Boycotted An Unfair Distribution of Profitse—The Milk Supply and How It Is Handled— Farmers and a Middieman Talk About the Situation—An Effect of the Long-Con- tinued Drouth in Dlinocis and Missouri— Meeting of the-Farmers’ Executive Com- mittee. There are a dozen gentlemen, members of the Executive Committee recently appointed by the Milk Producers’ Association, in session at the Merchants’ Hotel to-day. They are here to hear reports from committees appointed at a meeting held atthe hotela week ago Satur- day. These committees were to call on the local dealers in what is called ‘‘railroad mik“ and ascertain what they intended to do in regard to a demand for better prices. The reports will be generally that the dealers were not favorable to any in- crease of price, and the outcome will probably be the establishment of a depot in St. Louis by the association for the sale of the milk pro- duced by the farmers who belong to the asso- ciation. R. C. Morris, Formosa, III.; James Granger, Troy, III. Mr. Clayball, Carlyle, III.; I. Newman, Alton, III.; Mr. Hob- son of Girard, III., and others were in the meeting to-day. They did notarrive until shortly before noon and deferred assembling until after dinner. One of the members, a former St., Louisan, explained the situation from the producers’ standpoint. He said: „„The feeling has been growing that the pro- ducer does not receive enough for his milk and the drouth which has ruined the feed supply in LUlinois has inten- sified this feeling. When in the spring farmers came to st. Louis to see the dealers, the latter offered to make contracts at 8 cents per gallon or prices but slightly higher. Eight cents was the average. ow, that wasthe best they would do. 8 have to pay about 2 cents per gallon to get the milk to the dealers. It is seldom less and frequently a great deal more, The dealers retail this milk at 80 cents a galion. One-third of the price paid by the consumer goes to the producer and two-thirds to the middle man, who has no risk, and merely dis- tributes the milk. Wethink that percentage is not in — od proportion, and that the pro- ducer should participate in the profits of the business. This movement of ours is not to increase the rice of milk to the consumer. That is high enough. But we want the middlemen to divide. Inaddi- tion to the small price paid us the dealers frequently report a can of MILK AS SOUR and allow the producer 12 cents for the can, a price which does not pay the freight. They are the * ot whether the milk is sour or not. have known sixteen cans of eight gallons each to be re- orted sour out of a shipment of cans. Lou can easily see the extent of the producer’s loss. And there is no reason why this should be. The far mers understand how to handle their milk. They cool it before shipping it, and if itis properly treated when itarrivesin St. Louls, it should not sour. And another thing, sour milk is mot worthless. Cream has to be soured before it can be made into butter. If these dairymen who deal in our milk would handle it properly they could make the soured milk nearly as valuable as sweet. All they have to do is to make butter. Four galions of milk wil give two gauges of cream, which will make two pounds of butter worth 2 cents a pound at any time of the year and then there will be a half gallon of buttermilk worth 5 cents. A can of eight gallons could be made worth FI. 10. For this they pay the farmer 12 cents. Or 2 they take the sweet milk and utilize it in the same way, there would be left eight gallonsof skim milk, which, if sold as skim milk, and it ought to be, would bring 10 cents a galion, making the total value of u can to the dealer $1.90, for which he pays from 64 cents to 80 cents. The — on n Gan of milk retailed at 80 cents a gallon is from $1.60 to $1.75 cents. The con- sumer is paying as much as he should pay and we want the dealer—the middle men—to do the same. Mr. Hobson of Girard, III., is one of the active members of the committee. He does not shi to an antag- onistic dealer, but to his son, who manages to dispose of all the milk the Girard farm can produce. Still the old gentleman is anxious to see the association established. „What we want is 12% cents per gallon. We offered to make contracts at that price up to October 1, but the dealers were not willing to meet us, and we will probably make arrange- ments to sell our own milk through an agent in the city. Our milk is pure, and we are certain that in competition with milk made from malt and still slop it should receive a higher price. Yet we do not wish to make the price higher to the con- sumer; we only want some of the middle- men’s profit. The profits have been too un- evenly divided heretofore.’’ After October 1 what.price-would you de- mand for your milk?’’ We have got 15 and 16 centsin the winter, and should get as much any year, but this — we shall probably have to get 20 cents. THE DROUTH HAS DESTROYED all the-green feed; there is no pasturage any- where. Iam buying feed for my cows just the same as in winter, and have been doing so for some weeks. What does it cost to make a gallon of milk when you buy the feed?“ That is diMcult to answer; but we cannot pet itto the dealer and make any profit for essthan cents.’ lide OHARLES CABANNS said: “The farmers have been trying for six weeks to form an association for the regula- tion of prices. They have been sufferers from the — drouth, and have been forced to make milk on = feed.

Life at Noodleport this season is gay and frivolous as ever. The Queen’s jubilee took — a large number of the leading families, but the medium ten seem to have enjoyed themselves the better for it. It has been possible this year fora youth of moderate income to appear on the streets with every one of the buttons on his vest buttoned without being — 5! ostracised, while the ladies have found it has done them no harm to wear the same dress on two different occasions. Talk has been about as small as usual, although the absence of the jubilee circle has done much to elevate the subject- matter. Owing to the large number of recent divorces in Noodleport circles the list of eligible men and women has been consid- erably augmented. Several engagements in the divorce set,it is expected, will short- surprising if two gentlemen, who are fast friends, should shortly bein practically the same position as they would be if they had swapped wives, just as they have hitherto swapped horses, dogs and other live stock. Swellevue avenue is crowded daily with a most brilliant concourse of equ es, some of which, I imagine, are pai or. A new fashion which has been adopted by the frequenters of the drive and possibly due to the recent behavior of the Prince and Princess of Wales, is thatof husbands and wives driving together. It was a dificult matter to get the best Noodle- porters to adopt the custom, and it was not until eye-witnesses of recent London events had confirmed the report that the heir apparent agd his Princess had been seen inthe same vehicie together, that the existing barriers of prejudice were broken down. The Casino continues to thrive, and the 1 of certain chronic mblers t the liquor laws of Rhode Island would ruin the en rise have proven groundless. Whether this failure in the ng the reward of virtue, or tothe adop- tion of a code by which a harmless sound- ing order may bring forth an insidious beverage or not, I prefer not to say. I have no grudge against the Casino and do not wish anything I may say to bring it into a conflict with the authorities.

CHOLMONDELEY HARCOURT. A STORY ABOUT BEN BUTLER, The Shortest and Best Speech He -Ever Delivered in Congress. From the Omaha World. Las talking with Congressman Calk- ins in Indianapolis on Sunday last,” said Mr. Will V. Rooker, in the lobby of the Paxton, and he gave me what I thought was a new one about Ben Butler. The way our Conversation started, Calkins asked me about Crazy-Horse Van Wyck, and remarked that he made a ver picturesque picture in the Senate. never saw but one other man with such a wild and woolly gesture as Van Wyck had, and that was an Ohio Congressman whom I will not name. He represented one of the interior districts of his State at the time Ben Butler was hav- ing no end of trouble with Sam Cox and a good many other people in the House, and doing them all up more or less in his own peculiar way. The Ohio man bad been loaded for Benjamin for some time, and at last one day he got his chance. His speech was — torrent of vul- gar abuse, and would have attracted unmitigated disgust had it not been for is eculiar gesture, which tempered e disgust with mirth. He had a fashion of raising his arms just as high above his head as pos- sible, and then wringing his hands as though he were making a delirious at- tempt to wring them off. Well, Ben sat through the speech, with his eye half shut, not moving a muscle. When the Ohio man had finished and taken his seat, Ben rose—calm, dignified and impressive—and stood in whe aisle. For half a minute he said nothing. Then he began: ‘Mr. Speaker.’ Another pause, long and ponderous. Everybody waited, with hushed breath, for him to continue. Rais- ing his arms, Ben reproduced exactly the awful gestures of the Ohio Congressman. Then he permitted his arms to fall again, and for another half minute stood still and silent. ‘That is all, Mr. Speaker,’ said the shrewd and sarcastic son of Mas- sachusetts. ‘I just wanted to answer the gentleman from Ohio.’ Judging from the wild laughter and applause which fol- lowéd, old Ben’s speech was at once the shortest and the best ever delivered in the lower house.“ A Russian on Our Cavalry. From the Levant Herald. Col. Sukhotin, who wants the Russian army turned into hordes of cavalry like those of Tamerlade and Genghis Kahn, has contributed to a Russian military magazine an able paper on the American cavalry during the war of secession. Therein we discover some of the motives which induced the recent transformation of the Russian cavalry into dragoons. But as that war was waged between masses of untrained horsemen, it is highly improb- able that its lessons should apply tothe conditions of a European conflict. The Americans on both sides preferred the re- volver in the melee to the sabre or lance; but why? Because their troopers were not pe enough horsemen to use the cold steel with effect. A Federal lancer regi- ment, 700 strong, being routed, brought only twenty lances with them out of the fray; and it is a patent fact that the sabre in the hands ofatyro is more dangerous to his charger’s ears than to his an- tagonist. n addition, untrained sol- diers sadly ill use and neglect their horses. Experience taught the Federal Government that its cavalry, under an enterprising leader, had to be remount- ed throughout every four months. The cavalry belonging to the Army of the Potomac, averaging 12,000 oe were supplied with 35,078 remounts within six months. Rigorous measures were taken to compel the men to spare their horses. A trooper, galloping through a street of Washington, being called upon by a sen- try to moderate his —— was shot dead on refusing to * hole regiments were turned into infantry for persistent neg- lect of their horses. Sheridan’s assertion that 10,000 horses should be able to pre- vent the concentration of 100,000 men was based on the assumption that he could at the outset overwhelm the cavalry of the enemy with the fire of dragoons or mount- ed infantry, and upon a belief in it Russia seems to have staked its existence asa leading military power. Katkoff and the Poles. Katkoff’s first great opportunity came during the Polish insurrection of 1863. He had a distinct plan for the reorganization of the rebellious provinces. He pitted it against the totally different plan of the Emperor’s Ministers, and his plan won. The Ministers were for a large meas- ure of administrative independence that would still permit the Poles to enjoy their own 1 agere, ligionand customs. M. Katko was for Rus- sianianizing them without remorse. They were to lose their Catholic religion, their language, their sense of independent national life, butin return they were be freed from the tyranny of their own nobles, and to enjoy certain popular liberties which were ultimately to extend tothe whole empire. This system has been applied to Poland ever since, and whenever there has been any attempt to change it for the better one of autonomy and true reconciliation he has thunder against the authors of it, and has usually rocured their disgrace with the Ozar. nowing what Russia is, M. Katkoff has always taken care.to make himself secure and thei present one was born in the Ww He was — as merciless of Livonia as the Catholicism of Poland.

From the St. James Gazette. The pide bearer brays the dry leaf to- bacco in a mortar; to every ten pounds weight of the coarse powder produced he adds a handful of salt and carefully mixes it. Then he takes the requisite quantity for the next day’s consumption thoroughly moistens it with water and places it in a saucer, where it re- mains all night. Next day it is fit to smoke. All day long the pipe-bearer sits ready to fill and light the pipes for his master and his guests. Should his master go upon a journey the pipe-bearer is there, mounted on a sturdy roadster, from the saddle of which depend a great leathern water-bottle, holding perhaps a couple ot 88 and au iron e-pot very similar that used by tinkers in this country and full of live charcoal. He manages to keep always within hail of his master. In front of his saddle are borne two huge cylinders of leather, carried as our cavairy bandsmen carry their kettle- drums. Each of these receptacles will S contain a pipe. t a signal rom the valet or body-servant the pipe bearer withdraws the gold or silver pipe- head from its receptacle. Drawing a bag filled with tobacco from his waist-belt, he takes a piece of it, wet as it is, about the size of an egg, and with a — of his hand gets rid of a quantity of superfluous water and a good deal of nicotine, for Persian tobacco in its natural state—at least that used in the kalian— would be too strong to smoke. And now he carefully fits the perforated conical windguard upon the pipe head, and b means of a pair of tiny tongs fills it wit live charcoal from his fire pot. Then the rest of the apparatus of the water pipe, which isalways kept ready filled with water, is withdrawn from the cylindrical receptacle; the flexible „snake, some five feet long, is rapidly adjusted, the pipe-bearer expelling the excess of water in the reseryoir by blow- ing through the snake. This wets the joints and renders the whole machine air- of hot air through the oe to see that it goes properly, and. hands it to the mounted valet, who, seizing the mouth- iece, proceeds apparently to smoke it. ut the man is merely lighti his mas- ter’s pipe, for there is a g eal of char - coal fume and very little tobacco in the first few whiffs. After A minute’s hard pulling the man puffs out a great volume of smoke, and now the pipe is well alight. The valet removes the bowl, and, still drawing, extracts every par- ticle of smoke (this is the invaria- ble etiquette as the pipe is passed from hand to hand); then, with an obeisance, he hands the mouthpiece to his master and ambles along at his side, bearing the pipe, which is r called the ‘‘beguiler of sorrows,’’ till his master and his friends have smoked their fill. As a rule the flexible tubes are only used upon the road and by priests, lawyers and doctors. The latter sometimes make up a pipe containing half a pound of tobacco, which is placed in the midst of their circle of clients or patients, and the m@uthpiece passes around for an hour or two, until the tobacco is smoked out. A Plea for Tramps. From the London Truth. The fuss at St. Martin’s Vestry about the ‘‘tramps’’ who sleep in Trafalgar square is the greatest possible nonsense. It the ‘‘tramps” slept there in the ~— time I could understand that they might be a nuisance; but inasmuch as they only sleep at night. when all decent people” are asleep, too, I confess that I don’t grudge them a nap which does no harm to any- body. Let them sleep there and welcome, and wash in the fountain, too, if they choose, like the young lady to whose early ablutions so much public attention has been called. I am glad that some use has been at last found for these certainly not ornamental fountains. I venture to sug- gest that the prince of advertisers should supply these washing tramps of Trafalgar square with soap gratis. It would be a magnificent reclame, and so far as I have ha an opportunity of observing the hands and complexion” of the ‘‘tramp’’ tribe it has always seemed to me that a little soap would effect a manifest improvement. At the same time, if any of the residents iu Trafalgar square are really unhappy at the thought of the ‘‘tramps’’ sleeping and washing outside, the remedy is in the residents’ own hands; let them politely ask the ‘‘tramps’’ to come in fora “shake- down’’ and a ‘‘brush-up.” The “‘tramps,”’ Iam sure, will accept the invitation, es- pecially if itincludes breakfast. After all, no one sleeps in the open in Trafalgar square who has any reason to feel that he would be made welcome in any of the neighboring hotels or private houses.

HE HID THE BODY. The Trick by Which an Enterprising Chicago Reporter Saved His Paper From Defeat. From the Chicago Mail. I was present at the hearing of the ‘‘omnibus” boodle case the other day when Guy Magee, city editor of the Times, was called to the§witness-stand. Magee is one of the landmarks of the Chicago press. Itso happened that the very day contained an account of the finding of the body of a man under a sidewalk. You may wonder what connection this has with Guy Magee. A long timoago, before there were any telephones or patrol wagons or boxes, when reporters had to hoof it between stations for the news of the night, Magee was a night re- se for one of the morning papers. coops counted in those days, and when a night man couldn’t turn in one or two to his creditin as many weeks he was transferred. One morning, after the last batch of items had been sent in, Magee was homeward bound when he discovered the dead body of a man in the street. He knew it was too late to get the item in the paper, and he knew if heinformed the police of his dis- covery that the afternoon papers would have the lead on the item. In those days Chicago abounded in plank sidewalks of the most miserable kind, Magee tore up one ortwoof the planks in the walk near by, and planted his dead man under them. Late that day, when he came down to his work, he notified the Coroner and the afternoon papers were beaten. The Red Kiver Valley Railway. From the Montreal Gazette, August 17. The Winnipeg people are not satisfied that the construction of the Red River Valley Railway is going to prove of much advantage to the province after all. It will run through a district already served by the Canadian Pacific Company, so that no local interests will be promoted, while, having a starting point at Winni- peg, it is utterly useless to the people of the western sections of the province who. nevertheless, are taxed for the cost of the enterprise. [It is therefore bein urged upon the Manitoba Governmen that liberal aid be given toa line from Winnipeg to Brandon, connecting at Port- age la Prairie with the Manitoba and orthwestern Railway. A very neat sum of money will be necessary for this pur- pose, several hundred thousand dollars, and the light way in which the ple of Winnipeg speak of such a subsidy shows that they take little regard of the mor- row. The province already finds it no easy matter to make ends meet; the construction of the Red River Valley Railway adds a new charge of $50,000 an- nually on the revenues; heavy obligations have been undertaken in connection with the Hudson’s Bay project, and altogether the situation counsels very rigid economy in expenditure. But the Norquay Gov- ernment, we imagine, will not be deterred by any such considerations. It seems to proceed upon the principle that the bonds don’t cost much to print anyway, and if the railway can make any use of th why the provision for interest paymen can be relegated to the future.

He gave such a poor account of himself in doing the work that was mapped out for him in 1884, that the contract will here- afterbe committed to-abler hands. Peruarsthe New York Socialists will claim that they are bidding for the assist - anceof intelligent voters by repudiating the visionary anti-poverty-crusaders; and Socialism ought to make itself more re- spectable by pursuing just such-a course.

Now is the season for making Presi- dential tickets by the job lot, and it seems that a Republican ticket bearing the names of Dorsky and Manone would at least stand for something. Perhaps it could not matoh the flamboyant tattoo of the ticket of 1884, but it would remind the Re- publican politicians what they are here for. Mr. BLAIns is said to be to- witness “‘a real Irish eviction,” and it is to be regretted that his fear of catching Irish malaria ran him out of Ireland be- fore he-could satisfy his curiosity on this subject.

STILL PIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS. Having faifed in his attempt to thwart the will of the people and to prevent street sprinkling this year Comptroller CamP- BELL appears early in the field as an op- ponent of sprinkling next year. In an interview in the Sunday Globe-Democrat he says: If it costs $80,000 to sprinkle the city twice a day for two months, will it not cost about $425,000 to sprinkle the city. three times a day for eight months next year? As long as one-half of the city was left unsprinkled and the citizens had no option but to/pay ring prices or go dry, Comp- ‘troller CAMPBELL’s voice was silent, and two sprinklings @ day on the macadamized streets were enough. The idea of sprink- ling three times a day was never heard of. But when it comes to juggling with figures for the benefit of a ring a nimble Comptroller puts down the sprinkling at three times-a day and runs up the cost ac- cordingly. As to the cost-of street sprinkling next year, it will depend entirely on competi- tion. When St. Louis was smaller fhan it is now Comptroller CaMPBELL’s prede- cessor was called on to put in his yearly estimate an item of $50,000 for hauling slops; the same work is now done over a larger area for $12,000. Would it not look better in Comptroller CAMPBELL to devote himself outside of office hours to reducing the expenses in- stead of increasing them, and to carrying out the clearly expressed wish of the peo- ple instead of opposing it? 1 a —_— Tue» main trouble with COLOROW seems to be the excessive development of his anti-poverty bump. He agrees with the Eastern crusaders that the earth and the fullness thereof belong to the people; but he outstrips his effete associates in his plan of campaign, and in the rapid reduc- tion of theory to practice. Instead of de- livering emotional speeches to mass- meetings composed mainly of women and children, and passing around the inevita- ble hat, he loads his Winchester rifle and proceeds to gather in the surrounding things of life. With a crude fondness for pushing reforms to their ultimate results, he doesn’t%top with capturing the land for the people, but goes still further and tries to abolish the private ownership of horses, whisky, ammunition and canned oysters. : , 1 — Mr. George's Ticket and Platform. From the New Tork Times. It would de hard to say whether the ticket of the United Labor party or the platform is the more grotesque. Henry George, to be sure, flighty as he is, and with all those grave defects of character of which he is now with good cause beginning to be suspected, has intelligence and integrity enough to fill accept- ably the not extremely important office of Secretary of State. But Wilder, Cummings, Feely—who are they? To how many mem- bers of the United Labor Party are their worthiness and their abilities, or even their names, sufficiently well known to make their nominations for Controller, State Treasurer and Attorney-General, respectively, anything but a mockery of the forms and precedures of a sober Democracy? How many legal voters of the State of New York, able to read and write, having by in- heritance or acqulrement some sense of the responsibilities of American citizenship, and enjoying the normal use of minds un- tainted by crude Soocialistic speculations, would by their ballots indicate their willing- ness to intrust to Mr. Victor A. Wilder the varied, delicate and important functions of State Controller, or to Mr. B. H. Cummings the custody of the funds of the State Treasury, or to Mr. Dennis C. Feely the duties and grave responsibilities which devolve upon the law officer of the State? Yet owing to the confusion which, in the lack of domin- ating issues now prevails in our poli- tics, in the debasement of the suffrage through lax naturalization laws, and to the shrewdness ofthe convention in putting at the head of its ticket Henry George, whose kill in advertising himself has given him a notoriety indistinguishable from real popu- larity, we may expect to see this ticket receive a very considerable vote, though not, we are confident, ut all the State a vote so large as Mr. George received in this city alone when he ran for Mayor last fail. To head the ticket with George’s name was a move at once shrewd and obvious, and it was char- acteristic of Mr. George himself. The ticket willfail of election, ofcourse. It may not o von receive a suflicient number of votes to make the experiment worth trying again. But whatever success it may command it will be due to Henry George, and almost excludively to him, and the present alm of that sagacious gentleman into put labor under obligations to him and carefully cultivate his strength till the fortunate time comes when he can make 4t permanently profitable to himself. Jefferson Davis. From the New York WORLD. A Republican organ attacks Mr. Jefferson Davis for what it calis his ‘fadvocacy of liguor,’’ and attributes the defeat of Prohi- bition in Texas to the Lubbock letter, pub- lished shortly before the recent election in that State. In its anger our contemporary re- fuses to recognize anything in Mr. Davis’ oharacter but two of Dr. Burchard’s famous R’s—rebellion and rum, In his letter to Ool. F. R. Lubbock, Mr. Da via. aid not advocate the use nor favor the sale of liquor. Mr. Davis denounced the _ modern idea that the Government may interfere with the private and domestic affairs of the citizen under the pretense-of a paternal care for the moralsand good order of the people. He de- plored the evil of intemperance, but remind- od the Texansthat they already had local option, and insisted that to destroy indi- vidual liberty and moral responsibility would be to eradicate one evil by the substitution of another which would be more fatal than that for which it was offered as a remedy. ’’ Doubtless the letter did have much influence im the election. Aside from its sound doc. cines it was written by one whom the people of the Southern States naturally honor above ® contradiction-of the story that Vror bas. bought-a,larg 1 2 all others, and who is beloved by them for his - 57 5 mew #88 tor his many extraordinary qualities as an his- When the United States Government wisely decided not to try Jefferson Davis for treason it and all its citizens were estopped from treat- ing him as different from the mass of Southern people of whom he was merely the ablest rep- resentative and servant. If patriotism con- sists in love of countty and loyalty to the ex- isting institutions, itis not too much to say that Jefferson Davis is to-day more sincerely and disinterestedly a patriot than are many of the blatant office:hunting demagogues who seek to make political capital by the denuncia- tions of the ex-Onief of the Confederacy. If he were a Republican he would find only praise instead of abuse in Republican pape rs. Mr. Davis is now fourscore years of age, liv- ing in dignified retirement. Heis entitled to be judged, and by chivalric and reasonable men will be, by whathe says and does now, not by what he did twenty-five years ago. How One War Tax Works. From the New York WORLD. The imminence of astrike among the win- dow- glass workers, whose demand for an in- crease of 10 percent in wages has been re- fused by the manufacturers, recalls attention tothe wayin which a high tariff has operated to the disadvantage of the workingmen, for whose ‘‘protection’’ it was Ostensibly im- posed. In 1880 there was a duty of 15 per cont on window glass, and the average dally wages of the glass-workers was $2.96. In 1880 the av- erage duty was about 68 per cent, and the daily wages of the workers was $1.79. To- day, more than twenty years after the close of the war, whose expenses were made the occa- sion of increasing the tax, the duties range from 61 to 100 per cent. And yet, when the ill-paid workmen, receiving much smaller wages than they did twenty-five years ago, under a low tariff, ask fora slight increase, a manufacturersays: „The workmen lost a month and a halt last year by their demands for advances, and finally went in at our prices. I presume they are willing and able to go through the same or a longer experience this year.’’ Meanwhile the house-bullding people of this country paid into an overflowing Treasury last year nearly $4,000,000 in duties on imported giass ‘‘for the protection of American work- ingmen,.’’ The Power of the Press. From the Nashville American. The case in the United States was when the poor Norwegian woman, Injerd Jonson, with her child of shame, was about to be sent back by the sap-headed Commission of Emigration at Castle Garden, in the face of proof that her friends here had sent her the money to come, and, when she got here, gave her money to support her, and offered to give bond that she should not become a charge. But the Com- mission at Castle Garden, in their Star-Cham- ber Court, would listen to no appeal from the woman and friends, who hadto talk through an interpreter, and ordered her back on board the ship. The New York WORLD pushed its way through the closed door of this Star- Chamber Court, bore all the abuse ofa set of ruffans and then exposed them, brought the matter before the powers at Washington, which brought a reversal of the order anda rebuke from Mr. Fairchild that will bea les- son torufianism in office. Fresh Bait Needed. From the Philadelphia Times. Henry George is trying to persuade the So- cilaliste not to insist on admission to the new labor party, as he desires to throw out bait for the farmers. He fears that the presence of Socialists in the new organization will frighten off the horny-handed agriculturists, leaving it without followers in the country districts, Mr. George need not lie awake nights devising means to keep the followers of Most out-of his new party in orderto induce the farmers to joinit. Hisown land doctrines will slam the doors in the face of the farmers more effectual- ly than the presence of a dozen Mosts. The farmers believe in the righteousness of private ownership in land and they are not anxious to assume the entire burden of taxa- tion either. Mr. George will have to bait his hook with something more attractive than his cranky land doctrines if he expectsto catch the farmers. The Mormon Situation. From the New York Times. While Apostie Wilford Woodruff appears to have constituted himself, or to have been con- stituted, John Taylor’s successor as President of the Church of Latter-Day Saints, his great age makes it probable that his office will be of brief duration. Still, it was not of supreme consequence who assumed thistitle. Cannon, Smith, Woodruff and all the rest of the too- much-married leaders are fugitives from the law. A nation that successfully grappled with the problem of millions of slaves could not be baffled by what the late John Taylor declared to be a minority of only about twelve thousand actual polygamists in a population of 200,000. As the recent voting on the new constitution has indicated, the great majority of monogamous Mormons, even if thts majority | be less than Taylor and Cannon have repre- sented, are no longer satisfied to be deprived of political rights and treated as ontcasts in order that asmall minority may indulge in a wholly unnecessary number of wives. Kentucky’s Rejoinder, From the Courier-Journal. The Philadelphia Times has some advice and warning for Kentucky Democrats. It says: ‘*Watterson says that Virginia Democracy, has gone to seed. Perhaps; but it isn’t half as dangerous as the whisky ring free-trader rot that has paralyzed the Kentucky Democ- racy. * It a party which carries a State by a majority ranging from 17,000 to 20,000 is ‘‘paralyzed,’’ we hope to see the Pennsylvania Democrats **paralyzed’’ during the next campaign. That would be a good way to get rid of that 80, 000 adverse majority. MEN OF MARK. JOHN MORLEY has been visiting Andrew Carnegie at the latter’s residence in Perth- shire.

OF one of Jay Gould’s sons the New York Times says: Bad Boy Eddie Gould has dis- appeared from Wall street entirely. It is sad to think that so promising a speculative bud should be nipped so soon.“ Mon Theodore Stewart of New York, who died lately at Saratoga, left a little to his kins- folk, but distributed most of his $500,000 among his employes.

CONGRESSMAN WILKINS of Ohio was standing in front of the Ebbitt House, Washington, a few days ago, when he madea bet with afew friends that he could show them at least six heads of red hair without the presence of a white horse for each head. The penalty im- posed was a box of cigars. The Congressman suggested a walk and the party started forth. Mr. Wilkins led them toa store for the sale of human hair, and in the window were seven Lay“ heads adorned with red wigs. I. the midst of Wilkins’ exultation, however, around the corner came a funeral procession of eight carriages, each drawn by a pair of white horses. Ir is a fact not generally know that President Oleveland has a minute acquaintance with the pedigree of the short-horn cattle of this coun- try.

THE Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who is a great admirer of the poems of Heine, on her journey to England made a considerable de- tour in order to visit Frau Qharlotte Embden, the aged surviving sister of the poet. The Empress appeared at the door before Frau Embden had finished her toilet and graciously waited forthe old lady. In the subsequent conversation she expressed her great admira- tion for the poet, evincing her thorough famil- larity with his works. She concluded her visit by an examination of the Heine relics, such as letters, portraits and many receipts in the possession of Frau Embden. METROPOLITAN PRESS.

The Tribune says: The labor ticket cred- itably represents the party, because the other candidates, like Mr. George, are fairly ex- empt from criticism, except on the score of their opinions and their in tence in pub- lie affairs. NeW parties generally bring to the front new men, who often prove efficient and worthy. Mr. George is certainly a man of un- usual powers, and it would be affectation to doubt his ability to discharge acceptably the duties of Secre of State. Moreover, the other candidates on this ticket are as earnest as he in advocating beliefs which de- bar a man from politi preferment, have a merit which cannot be attributed to all candidates of the older parties.’’ THE TIMES. The Times says: Comment upon the re- port of the OCivil- Service ommission- ers on the charg of violations of the law in the Chicago Post-office ’ 7 publication of the report, although it is al- ready given out that the finding is ‘not proved.’ But unless ch shall shown to be merely frivolous and without any foundation in fact, a small portion of the reports from Chicago are true, is not the case. Commissioner Edgerton’s severe ge refiections upon A Civil-Service Reform As- sociations must be pronounced unjustified. The perpess of these associations is create cing o sentiment in favor of the law, which he Commission is charged with carrying out, and though errers may be committed through excess of seal it is surely easier to overiook them than it would be to secure the faithful enforcement of the law in the face of a public opinion either hostile to its waa or igno- rant of its working and effects.’ * EAST Sr. LOUIS.

He caught hold of a rung of the lad - der on one of the cars, but missed his footing and fell under the wheels. Three cars passed over his legs, both of which were cut off at the knee. It is doubtful whether he can live. His brother, who is a stonemason in Decatur, was notified by telegraph of the accident.

The Reports on the Charges of the Ch Civil-Service Reform League—commi,. sioner Lyman’s Verdict of Not Guitt Judge Edgerton Attacks the Leagy. Commissioner Oberiy Neutral. By Telegranvh to the Post-Dispater. _ WASHINGTON, D. O., August 22.—The reports of the United states Civil-Service Commission ers upon their examination into the char, preferred by the Civil-Service Reform League of Chicago as to the administration of Custom house and Post-office affairs in that city, when. ever it is made public, which may not be for several days yet, will undoubtedly disclose g difference of opinion among the three Com. missioners, who have heretofore manifested a unity of views on all essential points. Com. missioner Edgerton is determined to make hig report an attack on the members of the Civij. Service Reform League, whom he character. izes as‘‘a lot of irresponsible individual, banded together for the avowed purpose ot annoying the Administration.’’ Commissioner Lyman, who completed hig report Saturday, confines himeelf to an anal. ysis of the testimony, contrasting it with ths charges preferred, and bringing in a compre. hensive verdict of not guilty. Commissioner Oberly, who was nota party tothe investiga. tion, has recently expressed opinions not in especial reference to this case, but bearing generally on the subject, which indicate 3 strong divergence of views between himseis and Commissioner Edgerton. Speaking of the Oivil-Service Leagues Commissioner Oberiy said, several days ago, that he looked on them with much respect as organiz. tions sincerely desirous of advancing pubic good. The members who composed them were, as a rule, gentiemen of such high char. acter that their motives could not be im. pugned. They were, perhaps, a little too much inclined to dealin generalities, and to trust their affairs to INDISOREET SECRETARIES, who committed them to broad assertions which could not be sustained by proof, but he recognized the integrity of their motives, and was inclined to think that it was a benefit to the public service to have the operations ot the law watched by men who had no political axes to grind and no personal aims to sub. serve. Commissioner Edgerton, in his report, win say that an employe in the Government ser- vice never ceases to be on probation. When men or women receive appointments under the Government they cease to be wards of the Commission, and their relative merit has thereafter to be determined by the power that selected them from the certification of the Commission. Service under the Government is a continual struggle for advancement, and should be so, for the instant that men or women cease to advance, that instant, to use | the language of the report, they begin to not.“ The continued holding of an office should depend on the merits of the incum- nt. There should be no tenure of office. As soon as employes become useless or inef- ficient the appointing paves should not be re- strained from removing them at once and without question as tothe reasons for so do- ing. It would be manifestly ridiculous to sub- ject the appointing power toa long list ot questions before he could remove a suboridl- nate or inefficient employe. The appointing power is responsible forthe efficiency of the working force. It must be admitted that are frequently necessary to FORCE, and that no one is better qualified to judge of the changes needed than he who supervises the work and is therefore cognizantof the amount and character of the service rendered M e. Takeaway the right of re- moval from the appointing officer and the subordinate becomes greater the supe- The officials to whom is assigned the managing of appointménts have only a lim- ited term of office, while the subordinate would go on forever, holding office no matter how inefficient he might be. Cases of in- ation under such a system would rior. su be of daily occurrence. Imagine the clerk, who has been informed that his services are no longer required, saying to his chief: ‘'I refuse to submit to discharge. You must state your reasons for discharging me, otherwise 1 will retain my office.’’ The object of the Com- mission sho be to secure the best possible recruits for the public service. This cannot be done better than by the present system of examination. By these examinations, how- ever, it cannot be ascertained whether the ap- pointes will be industrious when put in har. ness, norcan it be known at what moment after appointment the services of an employe will cease to be valuable. In pri 7ate establish- ments if an — becomes valueless, there is little hes! on about making an immediate removal. So should it be in the Government employ. The official in charge is the best judge of what constitutes inefficiency, COMMISSIONER BDGERTON also takes occasion to make a statement about the eee Civil-Service Reform ue, which he intendsto be applicable to similar organizations in other cities. These irresponsible individuals, he says, are ver ready to raise ahue andcry if a dismissal 1 rted to them. They are prompt in pre- ed on for evi- vidence, they were not spies or informers, and it was the duty ofthe Commission to discover whether the — were true or not. They were not responsible for their acts, and therefore it is little to be wondered at that they delight to make a noise. Webster, the Chicago Custom- House man who resigned and subsequently claimed that he was forced out, reported Ex-Collectof Spaid- ing for making discharges under the assurance that his name would not be made public. At the time, a Republican Commission d that the rignt of removal was vested in the ap- pointed powers. FRAUD AND DESERTION. Passenger Train Wrecked—Assaulted and Robbed—Texas Topics.

A very sad suicide occurred at the Laclede Hotel Friday night. So quietly did the tragedy ooour that nothing was known of it until yes- terday morning when the stench from the de- composing body of the suicide alarmed the employes of the hotel. The man who went so quietly to his death was Austin W. Morris, formerly of Indianapolis, but recently a resident of this city. During his stay here Morris had been living at the Laclede, occupying a room on the fourth floor. On Saturday the chamber maid tried to enter the room, but she found the door bolted on the inside. Suspecting that something was wrong she called a painter who brought his step-ladder and placed it under the transom of the door. Mounting to the transom he looked into the room. The occupant lay on the bed, dressed in his underclothing, and apparently asleep. The head was turned with the face against the pillow andone leg hung over the gide of the bed. There was nothing suspic- jous in the appearance of the bed or the figure on it as seen from the transom, and so no at- tempt was made to open the room, and the chambermaid did not return to it. Yesterday * morning John Carroll, a porter, was passing through the hall when he noticed a strong stench. He quickly located it In the Morris room. Rapping at the door brought no response, and 80 Manager Wesley Aus- tin was called, and a dellboy was yt through the transom to open the door — within. When the door was opened it was definitely determined that the man on the bed was dead and had been dead for some time. The bed-clothing and the e t were stained with blood which had flowed m the dead man’s mouth. From the quantity of blood it was at first believed that Morris had died from a knife or pistol-shot wound, and a NEITHER KNIFE NOR PISTOL could be found there was a slight suspicion of foul play; but it was evident on close examina- tion that the blood had flowed from the dead man’s mouth, with the probability that he hed died from the effecte of poison. An ex- amination of the effects of the deceased dis- closed the presence of a small bottle of ison in the valise locked in his wardrobe, ut the Coroner was of the opinion, that if he had en a dose of it he would have lost consciSusness before he could have returned the valise to the wardrobe. Amone the things on the tagie of the room was a note to Manager Austin, 8 by Mor- ris, requesting him to notify M. X. as, care of Indianapolis News, and Horace McKay of Indianapolis, of his death. As s00n asthe Coroner arrived the body was taken to the Morgue and telegrams were sent to the addresses given in the note. In response to these telegrams Morris Defrees, a cousin of the deceased, came over from Indianapolis this morning to take charge of the body. He called at the Laciede and informed Manager Austin that he would settle any bills the deceased might have contracted. It is not known whether there are any bills against him, except the bili for three weeks’ board at the Laclede. The deceased was a man of good family and formerly a man of wealth. His father, Austin Morris, and his uncie, Gen. F. A. Morris, were among the oldest citizens of Indlanapolis, and rominent poli ly and commercially. iis father at his death some twenty years ago left him $150, 000. With this money Morris engaged in a numberof maau- facturing enterprises. He was a member of the firm of Mothershead, Morris & Co., stove manufacturers, and was at one time engaged inthe manufacture of cigarettes. In almost every business In which he engaged he lost some of hisfortune. He was addicted to the During the arried Miss When he money his wife went on the stage to earn her own bread and but- ter. Morris also went INTO THEATRICAL WORK. Four years ago he was introduced to W. F. Dickson of this city by Frank Bixby of the Madison Square Theater, New York. He went on the road as advance agent of Dick- son s Sketch Club that season and did some good work, but he wenton a number of sprees and at the end of the season he was not re- en . Four weeks ago Morris came to this ci from Cincinnati with Man- ager agan of Pope’s Theater to take charge of the lorama on Washington avenue. im the time of his arrival in the city he paid very little attention to the Cyclo- rama. He was drinking a great deal and sometimes he would not make his appearance atthe show for several days. About a week ago he Was discharged for inattention to cuty. Since that time has been drink- ing hard. In the during all day night he elevator with Night-Clerk Farrell and Mr. Ferrell at his request acoompanied him to his room. Morris seemed at that time to be in the best of spirits. Mr. Farrell was the last person to see him alive. This morning T. B. Boyd called at the laciede. He was a school-mate of Morris, but cid not know that he was in the city until he read of his suicide this moras. Horace W. Hibbard was a friend of Morris’ family, and recently loaned Morris a small tmountof money. He was among those who called at the hotel and offered to take charge of the remains. Col.

Reddington’s Investigation and Dis- ceveries—His Removal Alleged to Have Been Secured by the Pacific the Steck Pool—The Pacific Mail Subsidy — legal Issue of Stock. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 22.—There is very much surprise expressed here as to the apathy of the President towards the Pacific Rallroad plunderers. His indifference to the interests of the people, shown in his dispatch to the commissioners, is freely commented on. Itisnowrecalied that eighteen months ago Maj. Reddington, Chief Clerk of the Rall- road Bureau, began an investigation of these roads. At his request the Secretary of the In- terior asked Congress for an appropriation of $35,000 to enable him to employ extra railroad accountants. He was assured by several members of Oon- gress that the appropriation would be granted. His first step was an investigation of the Pa- cific Mall subsidy. His report stating that the Government had been defrauded of $828,000 by the Central and Union Pacific roads, was sus- tained by the Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Lamar, and Assistant-Secretary Jenks,and the accounts were sent to the Treasury for collec- tion. This was sixteen months ago, but noth- ing has been done towards collecting the amount. Surely some one is responsible for this willfal neglect of a plain duty. Shortly after the Pacific Mall investigation Mr. Red- dington was removed, and all investigation was therefore stopped. It was stated, and is still asserted by many prominent Democrats, that Reddington’s removal was demanded of the President to please the Pacific Rallroad ring and the Standard Oil ring, as both of these were interested in a pool to put the Union Pacific stock up and the protection of the people’s interest meant the DESTRUCTION OF THIS STOCK POOL. It is a well-known fact that members of the Standard Oil ring are, and have been for years, speculating in the stock of the Union Pacific Railroad. The late Mr. Sherreill, who represented the Pacific road here, said before the removal of Reddington, that he would not be permitted toremain as no one had ever been allowed to do so who fought the Pacific Raliroad. After Reddington’s removal, Sherrell said with an oath, ‘‘We've got rid of Reddington.’’ if the President really desired to do a signal actof justice to the people he would see that the 000 due under the Pacific Mail subsidy was collected. He would also see that his Attorney-General did his duty by at once be- ginning suit against the Union Pacific direct- ors for their open and corrupt violations of the act of 1878. Section (ot that act says the Attorney-Gen- eral shall cause suit in equity to be instituted in the name of the United States against the Union Pacific Railroad Company. and against all persons who may, in thelr own names, have subscribed for or received capital stock of said roads or the proceeds or avails thereof or other property of said road unlawfully and contrary to equity, or who may have receiv as profite or proceeds of contracts for con- struction or equipments of said railroad or other acts herewith. It further says that no new stock shall be issued or mortgages or —— made on the property or the future earnings of the company WITHOUT LEAVE OF CONGRESS. Now it is a well-known fact that from 1880 to the present time $24,000,000 ot the new stock has deen issued and 411 000,000 of collateral trust bonds, making $85, 000, 000. Seven per cent dividends were paid for three years on $24,000,0000f new stock, which amounted to $5.040,000. Interest has n id on the col- lateral trust bonds since 188i amounting to $2,500,000, making in all $42,000, 000. Said a prominent politician here to-day: Had the President seen some of these same robbers in the cloak rooms of the Capitol, during the discussion of the Thurman act, plying their trade in ‘explaining’ to the gentlemen why the act should be defeated, he might change his mind and act decisively in the interest of the peopie. If he saw fit he might also discover the amount of money nog and to whom paid ir the spring of 1878, when Mr. Gould was an active worker with Mr. Huntington in trying to defeat the passage of the Thurman act. e might also discover how much money was shipped by express to this city from the Union Pacific office in New York, presumably as an object of ‘explaining’ to gentlemen why the Pacific Railroad robbers should have a new lease of life by the defeat of the act of 1878.’’ Standard.
