To-Night’s Debate on the Proclamation of the League— Programme of the Proceed- ings in the Commens—Prince Ferdinand Depressed—Russian Radicals Invite Gen. Boulanger to Visit Them—The Manitoba Railroad War—Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, August 2.—I am surprised to find how much credence is attached to the report that Morley intends to withdraw from politi- callife. Half a dozen intelligent politicians have expressed to me a modified belief in it. The idea is surely ridiculous. Morley left London when ali the important business of the session was practically atanend. The attack upon the proclamation of the League to-night, Will only be a demonstration in force, nota real attack with the hope of victory. It would be absurd to bring him back fromthe Alps to sit for a few hours between Glad- stone and Harcourt, and follow the former in a speech. Thecredence the report receives ig probably due to the knowledge that Morley is a man of limited personal means, and his active political life naturally preciudes him from earning an income in, his old paths of literature and journalism; there- fore, personally, he is fighting a man like Chamberlain, who bas £20,000 a year, on very unegual terms. THE MANITOBA RAILWAY. Most of the papers here, beginning with the Times, have lashed themselves into a fury over Sir John Macdonald’s alleged threat to bring British soldiers to prevent railway building in Manitoba. To-day they withdrew their horns. I saw Sir Charles Tupper, High Commissioner of Canada, yesterday afternoon. He promptly declared he could notthink of discussing the report, as it was preposterous to suppose that Macdonald would have used such language. THE PROCLAMATION DEBATE. Balfour will follow Gladstone to-night; Tre- velyan will move an adjournment of the de- bate and will reopen it Friday night, when Harcourt will conclude it. There will bea little speaking from the Irish mem- bers and a division will be taken to-morrow night. Members who have not been seen for weeks, are turn- ing up again one by one. Balfour is under- stood to have returned from Dublin, crammed with facts, figures and quotations. The closure by a bare majority is now sure to be introducedjia a few days to facilitate the finan- cial votes. A NEW PAPER. Besides the new evening paper, a new satirical journal ed The Whip will be started. The markets ee weak. Eugland. TO-DAY’S DEBATE. Lowpon, August 25.—All the Parnellites will return to London to-day in readiness for the debate this evening. Notice was given by Mr. Gladstone in the House of Commons yester- day ot a resolution that an humble address be presented to the Queen representing that the Viceroy of Ireland has proclaimed the National League a dangerous associa- tion; that no information has deen furnished to Parliament to justify the proclamation, by virtue of which Her Majesty’s subjects are to be rendered liable to be punished as criminals without a judicial inquiry into the nature of their acts, and that this house, in the absence of such information prays that said proclamation shall not continueinforce as tothe associa- tion named and described therein.’’ Mr. Balfour will follow Mr. Gladstone to- night and Sir G. O. Trevelyan will move to adjuurn the debate. WILL SUPPORT THE LEAGUE. Forty Libera) Members of Parliament held a meeting in the House of Commons to-day and resolved to support the irish National League, as they were satisfied that the organization was a purely political one. Twenty other Liberal members wrote letters expressing sympathy with the purpose of the meeting. There were no party leaders present. THE MANITOBA RAILROAD WAR. In the House of Commons yesterday Sir Henry Holland, Colonial Secretary, replying to Sir Henry Tyler, said that he had no information that Sir John Macdonald, the Canadian Premier, intended to ask for British troops for service in Manitoba, but he was not prepared to say that under no circumstances would imperial troops support the local forces. Each case, he added, must be judged on its merits. The announcem ent was re- ceived with cheers. Bulgaria. PRINCE FERDINAND DEPRESSED. Lowpon, August 25.—The Standard’s cor- respondent at Sofia says: Prince Ferdinand is depressed in consequence of the isolation in which he finds himself at home and abroad. TURKEY’S REFUSAL. Turkey has refused to assent to Rus- sia’s proposals for coercive action towards Bulgaria, either in the form of occupation or dy sending Arten Effend! with a Russian Commissioner to Bulgaria to secure the election of a new Sobranje and a new Prince. Tukeyr prefers to wait comcerted action dy all the powers, parties to the Berlin treaty, to hasteninga quarrel with the Bulgarians. It is the general opinion of the leading European diplomates, that Germany gave her assent to the Russian proposals for an Ottoman Commission and a Russian General to settle the Bulgarian question merely to place ber- seif in a position to be able to prevent Russia from taking any precipitate action which might again set the Balkans ablaze. ITALY’S REPLY. Rome, August 25.—The Government has re- plied to the Porte’s note that Italy considers the election of Prince Ferdinand to the throne of Bulgaria legal, but that his assumption of power is contrary to the Berlin treaty. The reply expresses the hope that the Powers will succeed in effecting a pacific solution of the problem. Russia. WANT TO INVITE BOULANGER. VIENNA, August 25.—<A dispatch to the Polit- ische Correspondence from Warsaw says that the extreme Russian Panslaviste have shown a ernmentthat such a step would not be toler. ated. The Dominion. COMMERCIAL UNION. MONTREAL, Quebec, August 25.—Never in the Province has a more intelligent and appre- elative audience assembled than the one which yesterday heard at Shefford, the first guns fired for Commercial Union. Stirring addresses were delivered by Messrs. Clayes, Member of Parliament for Missisquoi; Fisher, Member of Parliament for Brome; Auget, ex Member of Parllament for Shefford, and E. H. Johnson and H. Rider. Mr. Fontaine of St. Hyacinthe made an address in French advis- ing his countrymen to give their support to the movement, which, he believed, would be for their good in every way. Long and frequent applause interrupted all the speakers and left no doubt in the minds of unbiased spectators that the movement is a popular one. The meeting was brought to a close with cheers for the Queen and the President. . A letter was read from Erastus Wiman in which he deplored his inability to attend the meeting, owing to numerous engagements, but assuring the assembly of his entire sympathy with the cause and express- ing the wish that he might hereafter meet with the farmers and citizens to consider the great question of commercial union, which had as yet had no proper discussion in the Province of Quebec. Yesterday’s meeting will be followed by others, the first of which will be held at Waterloo, Shefford County, on September 9, next, Mr. Wiman and other prominent sup- porters of the cause are expected to be pres- ent at this meeting. THE IVES FAILURE. Valuable Railroad Books Reported Missing —Where Are They? NEw Tonk, August 25.—It was learned late last night that the books of the Dayton, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway were missing. This railroad is made up of the old Dayton & Ironton, the Dayton & Chicago, and the con- trol of the road was owned by Henry S. Ives & Co. Bonds of the Dayton & Chicago to the amount of $1,250,000, which were ordered to be retired, are alleged to have been used by Ives & Ov. as collateral on which to borrow money. It is alsostated that the books of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, covering the eriod in which Ives and associates claim to ave been given authority to issue and dispose — ee of preferred stock, cannot be oun 5 Winslow, Lancer & Co, ot this city are the financial agents ef the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad. One of the firm this morning said that after the Ives assignment the direct ors of the railroad had turned over certain books, but that the firm had never, in the re- on pe way, had any relations with Henry S. Ives. Another member of the firm said: We have the certificate and transfer- books of the (incinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad Company. The books being closed when brought to us, they have not been ex- amined, but were put away.’’ **Oould Mr. Ives have fairly issued and dis- of $10,000,000 of preferred stock without the books you named?’’ Ah, Mr. Ives can do anything, said the entieman smiling, ‘‘but he could not fairly oasyou ask without books that are now ind you have all the books of the railroad cannot say that for we have not examined m. * * the MILLIONS INVOLVED. The Fiem of Grovesteen & Pell Announce Their Failure. NEw YORK, August 25.—Grovesteen & Pell, the firm whose hypothecated securities were offered under the rule vesterday, notified the Stock Exchange shortly alter the opening this morning that they had made an assignment to P. W. Harding. The announcement was ex- pected after yesterday’s developments, and had no effect on the market. There were many rumors current, however, that they had dragged down other houses by their failure, but all parties mentioned ony that they lose enough to cause them trouble. The presi- dent of the Bank of New York, where the firm kept its accounts, just said: ‘*We have a loan with Grovesteen & Pell, but have not certified a single check forthem and ourlossin consequence of their failure will not be serious.’’ A few hundred shares of stock were sold for account ofthe firm after the suspension was announced. At the oflice of Grovesteen & Pell the doors were all locked and the knob was taken off the door to the main entrance of the office. There was no response to calls or knocks, and other parties in the building stated there was no one in the office. The estimates of liabilities vary, some placing them as high as $1,800,000, while friends of the firm state that „000 in cash would settle N heir assets are nominally placed at $2,000,000, but the bonds which com- pose them have no ready sale and some of them are actually valueless. COLOROW CORRALLEPD. The Hostile Ute Chief Surrounded by Maj. Leslie’s Troops. DENVER, Colo., August 25.—A dispatch from Glenwood Springs says: A courier arrived at 40’clock this morning with the following mes- sage, sent to Gov. Adams by Maj. Brooks: Gov. Adams, Denver, Col: Major Lislie has Colorow corralled with 200 bucks; they want to see big white man, won't talk to cowboy; white soldiers must go back or have a little fight. Kendall has only twenty-five men. This is positive. Other information on this 22 is false. F. 7 RBARDON, Brig.-Gen. Glenwood Springs, Col., August 25, 1887, 4:15 a. m. LATER. ‘* To Gov.

THE CONVICTED BRIBE-GIVER’S TRIP TO THE PENITENTIARY POSTPONED. Judge Potter Grants a Stay Pending an Ap- peal to the General Term—Grounds Upon Which the Order Was Granted — How Sharp and His Wife Received the News. WHITEHALL, N.Y., August %.—Judge Porter has granted a stay in the Sharp case. SHARP UNMOVED. NEw YORK, August 25, 12:20 p. m.—A han- som drove up to the entrance to Lud- low Street Jail, and a clerk from the office of Oochran & Clark entered the jail, bearing the news of the Krant- ing of a stay of proceedings. He handed the note personally to Mr. Sharp, who read it without showing any signs of emotion or mak- ing any comments upon it. Mr. Sharp then handed it to his wife, who reed it and seemed to be delighted at the news. Judge Potter granted the stay of proceed- ings in the Jacob Sharp case on the grounds that there is a reasonable doubt that the udgment reached in the Court of Over and erminer should stand, and execution of appeal shall ecided by general term. The news of the decision by Judge Potter reached the city about noon and created no little ex- citement. A number of people fiocked to the Court-house at once to ascertain the truth of the reports. Amongthem was Congressman Bourke Cockran, who was met bya reporter in the building. Allthe eminent pleader for Sharp would say was: I am very well satis- fled with the decision.’’ He then passed on, calmly triumphant. Nearly all the leading lights in the trial are out of town. Judge Barrett is at the Grove Hotel, Biock Island. JUDGE POTTER’S DECISION. Judge Potter, in his decision, says: ‘‘Hav- ing become impressed with the clear convic- tion thatthe trial court fell into error in the admission of some of the evidence offered by the prosecution, and that for those errors the Appellate Court must grant the defendant a new trial, Ihave not, therefore, examined the evidence any further than that it had some relation to the objections and exceptions to the evidence received upon the trial and the charge of the trialjudge. 1 have been called upon to examine the charge and I am quite free to say that the charge is remarkably clear, fair an fuuitiess, except in present- ing for consideration of the jury those portions of the evidence which I thing were erroneously received upon the trial. In my opinion important evidence wus received upon the trial in these respects. 1. Testimonuy given bythe defendant before the Railroad Committee of the Senate, author- ized and directed to investigate the means and methods used to obtain the consent of the local authorities to construct a Broadway sur- face railroad. 2. The fact of the absence of persons charged in the indictment with the crime of bribery and sojourns in Canada asthe excuseof their non-production as witnesses against the de- fendant by the prosecution. „g. The opinion or supposition of the wit- ness, Miller, as tothe motive or purpose of De Lacy when he handed Miller the $5,000. The testimony of the defendant was taken before the Senate Committee under resolution passed by the Senate.’’ The Judge then quotes the resolutions and continues: The testimeny given by the de- fendant in answer to questions put to him by the Senate Committee and its counsel, were received in evidence over objection, and ex- ception upon the trial of the _ indict- ment of the defendant for bribery of one of the Board. e "to construct the Broadway Railway. I am very decidedly ofthe opinion thatthe court erred ma Mission of such testimony. The rule come mon law. and before the adoption of the Con- stitution of the United States, or that of any of the States, was that a witness should not bs oblige! to give evidence which could be used against himself in any criminal trial. That principle is embodied inthe Constitu- tion of the United States and in that of this State in these words: ‘No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.’ The same principle, I ap- prehend, is substantially contained in express terms in the bill of rights, a constitution in every State of the Union.’’ Mr. Bourke Cochrane this afternoon stated the case could not come up now until the gen- eral term next October. An application will at once be made to have Sharp released on bail by some judge of the Superior Court., AT MARTINE'S OFFICE. At the District Attorney’s office many anxieus inquiries called. No official notice had been received there. He notified District Attorney Martine by telegraph at Seabright, and expected him back to-day. Messages were sent to Mr. De Lancy Nicoll at Bar Harbor and to Col. Fellows at York Harbor. Much rejoicing was heard in the crowd around the building and the general opinion was that Judge Potter had justly de- cided to grant the stay of proceedings It is believed the quest on of ball will no do argued before Judge Potter. Some days 0 Mr. Nicoll said speaking for Mr. Martine, the latter would strenuously oppose any motion to admit Sharp to bail in a case of such magnitude, where so much time and expense had been spent in securing a conviction. He thought that in such a contingency the motion it argued before Judge Potter would be made at Whitehall. Any judge in the State can be called upon ta ball by the defense. The prosecution are obliged to appear and argue the case. TRAIN-WRECKERS’ TRIALS, New Evidence Said to Be in Possession of the Prosecution. The trials of the Missouri Pacific train-wreck- ers have been resumed at Kansas City, where the defendant, Hamilton, who is accused of complicity in derailing a freight train April 26, 1886, in the wreck of which Benjamin Hor- ton and the brakeman were killed, is now be- fore a jury. “The ot RS of this and the cases of the men charged with wrecking atrain at Wyan- dotte has been entrusted to the company’s secret service under the direction of Thos. Furlong, who has has recently brought to light some new evidence of a startling character. One of the defendants, Lioyd, beat his case before a jury, but another, Newport, against whom about the same evi. dence of guilty complicity was held, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the firstdegree. In the first trials of the cases the evidence pre- sentad by the prosecution was rebutted by the testimony of James Dolan, whose story was in substantiation of alibis. Since the trail Dolan died of injuries received in the Wabash yards in Kansas City. A short time ago the prosecution learned of a possibility of establishing their suspicions about the Dolan story according to which two of the defendants were at h house and not near the wreck on the night in question onthe trials. An operative in the character of a canvasser for the New Order was sent to Kansas City, and shortly reported that Mrs. Dolan had admitted thatthe alibi story had been concocted at her house. She brought to this city the romised her the assist- said the 3 Soom i — at · charged with having mp nan Sonat to wrec a train turning a switch, shortly after the Wyandotte dis- aster, and will result, the prosecution states, in the complete abandonment of the alibi de- tense which it was e would be intro- u The or the defendants deny the truth of the char con defense, and claim that the ence secure a dis- Kansas’ Cattle Quarantine.

Weber, for alleged disobedience of orders and neglect of duty, will convene at Washington Barracks, Mon- day, 29th inst., at 11 o’clock. The following officers have been detailed to constitute the court: Col. H. G. Gibson, Capts. J. M. Lan- caster, Lewis, Smith, James, OChes- ter; Lieuts. Sedgwick, Pratt, B. H. Randolph, H. R.

C., August %5.—Acting- Land-Commissioner Stockslager to-day issued instructions to the proper local land officers in accordance with the recent order of the Secretary of the Interior, respecting the restoration of the indemnity lands of the Mis- souri, Kansas & Texas Railway, the Gulf and Ship Island Railway and the Florida Railw & Navigation Company. 5 The Cabinet Meeting. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 25.—The regular meeting of the Cabinet was held at the White House to-day. Those present were Secretary Bayard, Acting Secretary Thompson, Acting Attorney-General Jenks and Acting Secretary Muldrow. CHRIST BEFORE PILATE.” The Great Picture on the Road—Hangings in the Exposition Art Galleries. This morning Secretary Johnston of the Ex- position received a letter from Robert OC. Og- den, John Wanamaker’s representative, dated Philadelphia, August 23, contain- ing the following information regard- ing the great picture, ‘‘Christ Before Pilate:’’ The — has been successfully shipped from Boston this afternoon and will start West to-night, being accompanied on the train by an attendant, De Vivo. repre- sentatives with the picture are Messrs. James Grant and his associate, Mr. Charies M. asurtz.’’ The picture will probably arrive on Satur- day. It wl be taken immediate to the ition ing, unrol and stretched. Great care is necessary to get through this work successfully, but it will be completed in time fora press reception on September 6, for which invitations are bein engraved. The picture will be on view tha evening from 7 to 10 o’clock. The pictures for the art galleries have ar- rived and Andrew Redheffer, with a number of assistants, is actively at work gettin them in place. The pictures that stand ou distinctively are those to be illustrated in the catalogue, and of which detailed mention has been made in the Post-DISPATCH. The „Othello“ of Bertrand, Little Autocrat’’ by Brion, ‘‘In the Seraglio’’ by Roybet, a Moor- ish interior by Richter, The Offering of the Rose“ by Boulanger, are these prin- cipal pictures. As à collection is more of interest on the al- lery walls than heretofore. All is foreign, not an American name being seen. The land- scape is wonderfully infrequent, Dut the water colors, which are collected in two south rooms, are much above any water colors seen here before. Gabriel Max’s picture will be a disappointment to those who wondered over his ‘‘Infant Mur- deress.’’ It is only a woman adjusting her slipper, and a bit of woodland. There are dozens of little canvases that reed close at- tention and repay it. The hanging will prob- ably be finished dy the Ist of September. The amateurs are entertaining. FOR THE FIREMEN’S FAMILIES. Two Handsome Subscriptions Received To- Day for the Memorial Fund. The cause of the families of the dead fire- men who lost their lives by the Bishop & Spears fire isa living cause and every day brings in additions to the fund for their bene- fit. Chief Lindsay received to-day the follow- ing letter inclosing $25from Mr. C. H. Samp- son of the Corticelli Silk Company: John Lindsay, Esq.. Chief of the Fire Department: My DEAR SIR—My absence from the city pre- vented an immediate expression of the sym- pathy I feel for the tamilies ofthe heroic members of your department who recently sacrified their lives inits service.

On this account we desire to sse all the books, so as to find out just what bas been done. Answer: I know there is a good deal of misapprehension in the community. But 1 know that none of the branch roads were built ng Oentral Pacific Not a dollar Oontral Pacific money has been propri- ated. bably we were a little unwise in push- ing some of the roads in quick, short er, and I feel to-day that we made a mis- take in pushing to completion the Central Pacific before the time allowed us by Congress, for then we would not have been so hard up for — ant compelled to sacrifice the Gov- ernment bonds at a large discount. Mr. Littler: But is it not true that if you bad not compl the Union Pacific would have built to th foruia State line? Were you not afraid of that? Answer: Thatis the reason we hurried the completion of the road. So it would appear Mr. Stanford swears at one time that the Central Pacific road was ut through inahurry before the time the Government uired it, in order to accom- modateand obi the Government, and that therefore the Government isindebted to the road about $25,000,000; while at another time he admits that the hurrying through of the road was done to stave off competition! Isn’t it reasonable to suppose that his last ad- mission is the correct one? And if he then puts in an absurd claim of $25,000,000 against the Government isn’t it reasonable to 8228 that the rest of the $62,000,000 is made up in the same wert But the Items speak for them- selves. e thus goes on with his plaint: ASSAILING THE THUBRMAS ACT. „It bas performed the Government service in the transportation of materials and sup- plies and mail to the complete satisfac- tion of all Government officials baving charge of the business, while the company has been spending 1 its energies in furnishing the Government and the every possible facility at the lowest possible rate for transportation. ongress at times, through the misapprehension of the facts, has appeared exacting and unjust. The act of 1878, known asthe ‘Thurman act,’ has been injurious tothe company. While it was ad- mitted thatthere was nothing due from the company except one-half of its compensation for Government services and 5 per cent of its net earnings until the maturity of the bonds Congress provided for a 1 fund. it laced the management of that nd in the reasury. „The sequirements under this act have been ald into this fund since 1878, and have been nvested by the Secretary in Government bonds issued for the construotion of the Pa- cific Railroad. These bonds, as we have al- ready seen, were disposed of by the company at an average of about 70 cents on the dollar atalossin the agregate on the principal o $7,000,000. The Government charges interest on these bonds at the rate of é per cent of their par value. The Secretary has invested the money which the company has paid under the Thurman actin these bonds paying an average remium of 84 er cent, There has been paid in ythecompany in the sinking fund $8,168,- 600.50. The loss in interest and premiums up to the present time is , 619, 960. 72. In fact, there Is less money in the sinking fund to-day than — * paid in by the company by over „000. One of the most interesting offsets that Mr. Stanford makes to what is due the Govern- ment is comprised in the pearegraph that fal- lows. He eries out that the Government did not give the road a —— of the transcon- tinental traffic, but actually permitted and as- sisted other roads torun across the continent. „»I also desire to call your attention to the fact that at the time of construction of the Pacific Railroad no competing roads were an- ticipated. It was expected that the Pacific road, forwhich the Government issued + bonds, would be the only transcontinenta road until its debt to the Government was fully liquidated, but soon after the company en- tered into the contract with the United States for the construction of the road, other parallel and competing roads were aided by extensive land grants made to them bythe United States. The land grant to the Northern Pacific was many times in extent and value more than the land grant of the Union and Central Pa- cificcompanies. The Atlantic & Pacific, Texas 4 Pacific and Atchison & Topeka are all com- — roads to the Union and Central and ave all been aided by extensive land grants made by the Government since the com- mencement of the construction of the Central Pacific. There was certainly no competition avail- able to the Government with the Pacific Rail. road from the time of its completion until 1881, when the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe united with the Southern Pacific at Deming, N. M During all that period the Government was saved the full amount ot the tifference between what * by the former mode of transportation and the actual amount paid after the completion of the Pacific Railroad. The total of this amount would be over $37,- 000,000, nearly ane-halfof which oughtto be credited to the Central Pacific Railroad: The local business for Utah and Nevadais exceed- ingly small, as will appear from answers to — questions which Ishall hereafter make. he Central Pacific, outside of its iocal busi, ness in California, mainly relies upon through business. This has been diminished by the competing lines, aided by the Government, by at least 7,000,000, as willbe shown by the facts and gures hereafter presented in answer to the — aed interrogatories. The act of Congress, owever, under which your commission is or- ganized recognizes the equities of the com- pany and provides for an examination of all the circumstances attending the construction of the road, such as what was the cost of Gov- ernment transportation and mail service on the line of the road prior to its construction; how much more expensive was it to construct the road at the time than it would have been five years earlier or five years later; what discount was the company forced to make in disposing of its bonds, and what losses has the company sustained by competing lines subsidized by the Government?’’ The silliness of this claim is aptly set forth by the San Francisco report of what oecurred when the claim was made: The Senator gave it as his opinion—gave it weightily and solemniy—that his company had a olim in equity against the Government because she latter had subsidized other lines to enter into competition with it, and sv re- duced the Central Pacific’s earning power. It the latter was not able to pay the Government it was the Government's own tault. Then,.“ asked Mr. Anderson, you are of the opinion thatthe Government was under ap implied contract to 7 the country to the north and soutn of your line undeveloped in order to save you from the hardships of com- petition?’’ Senator Stanford colored and looked at Mr. Anderson unlovingly, but he declined to be led into an absurdity by his own logic, and hastened to descant on the decadence of Nevada. Here are the ‘‘claims’’ in full, and it is safe to say that no other such exhibition of cheek has ever been made, even by a subsidized rail- road monopoly. r. Stanford announces them asthe ‘‘principal’’ claims against the Government: 1. Thelossand interest thereon which the — sustained by being forced to sell the bonds received by it from the Government at a discount, loss $7,120,073,55; interest to matur- ity, $12,816182.80; total, $19 086,205.94. „Amount which the Government saved in its transportation on the Central and Union Pacific line between completion of the road in May, 1869, and the time when it might bave been completed under the contra ., July 1, 1 7,768,176—this company’s pro- portion, say 46 per cent, $21,971,062. 5 — — — which * Government now pany upon transportation, the legality of which claim has been sustained by the Court of Claims and also the Supreme Court of the United States.

Douty was the first President and John Mu- tal stock was peeretery. oa the prineip sbareholders were inj H i d erely repre- „Hun — ys irectors were J. W. Trobridge an uty R. The capital stock was $500,000, The the beginning were Stanford, Crocker and Huntington. Mrs. Hopkins came in afterwards. The Western Development Company bought considerable building mater- jalfor the Contract and Finance Company; also took the contract from the Contract and Finance Company to build the Southern Pacific, The Central Pacific and these various con- struction companies interchanged financial favors with striking mutual confidence. This was natural enough, the controlling influence of the companies making contracts with each other being, as Mr. Douty said, the same. The roceeds of the land, the capital stock, the rot- mortgage bonds and the Government second-mortgage bonds substantially all found their way into the hands of the con struction companies. The ¢ financial situation of the Western Fidelity Company is worthy of note. With respect to its liabilities and assets Mr. Douty thought the former would exceed the latter; but ft mattered not, as the following dialogue will show: ‘*Liabilities to whom?’’ Mr. Littler asked. „Jo Stanford, Crocker, Huntington and Mrs. Hopkins. The gross amount of liabilities is $10,000,000 or $12,000,000. The assets are about the same. ‘‘Then,’’ said Mr. Pattison, 'the bankers and the representatives of the assets and lia- bilities are some four gentlemen, and each owes himself 312,000, 0007“ es, sir; that’s about it, was the re- ponse. That's about it, was the complacent re- nder. What comical eople these Pacific Rall - road people are. ow they dolaugh in their sl @ and out of it at the Government at the presanttime. Take, for instance, in this con- nection this humorous remark of Lawyer oa when Commissloner Pattison asked m: Have you any suggestions to make, Mr. Cohen?“ »I have, responded Mr. Cohen, and it is that the commission adjourn and report to the President that they were created under a misapprehension, and that the Central Pacific has fulfilled all its obligations to the Government.’’ PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S CURIOUS REPLY. That was a curious remark of Lawyer Cohen, in the light of all the facts that had been developed. It seemed to be made in a smiling and confident way, too. Well, the commission did ‘‘report to the President.’’ They tele- graphed this to him: Two suits are pending in the United States Circuit Court of this district involving the right of this commission to examine a witness concerning the payment of money to influence legislation. As we are under your immediate direction we respectfully request your judg- ment as to whether or not we should employ counsel to assist the District-Attorney. Our judgment is that we should. Piease answer. If the President reads the ponerse he must have known in addition to this that the con- spirators had been pushed to the wall. e must have known that the commission was on the verge of finding out just where this : that Huntington had said was used for ‘‘ex 1 things“ had gone, and that it was of the highest impor- tance that they should have the moral and substantial backing ot the executive in their investigation into what had become of funds in which the Government had a considerable interest—an interest more because there was reason to believe that they had been used to corrupt Government officials than because of the sum itself, though large. But the Presi- dent, knowingthatupon his word depended very largelyjwhether the work of the com- mission should be crowned with success, sent back the weak response tha de should use their own discretion. N One unfortunate thing developed in the course of the investigation has been that a number of books that the commission was articularly desirous of getting hold of are ost. An effort was made to have Mr. Douty procure the books. among others, of the Con- tract and Financial Company, but be was un- able to do so, and one Sost, another of the numerous private and other secretaries, testi- fied that the last time he saw these books Mark Hopkins was packing them in a large case, and he had since learned that they were lost. Other books, under advice of counsel, Mr. Douty declined to let the com- mission examine. Still others he would con- sent to permit the commission to see the parts which related, in his or other peopie’s judg- ment, to the Central Pacific road. But Mr. Stanford is quite willing to let the commission examine all the books—that Is, all itcan find. Why, only the other day he made this offer to the commission: It does not followthat because your ex- amination of our books is permitted the whole pubiic should also have the privilege of examining them. I know 1 to be gentiemen of reputation, presume there are private matters of dusi- ness that you have attended to that are per- fectly honest in your relations to your clients, but even for that you would not want to throw your cases open even after the matter is set- tied and the business passed; and you would not care to tell the public all the motives that influenced and the views that controlled you in your actions. Itissowithus. I think that there is but little objection to opening our books, as much go as there would be on the pest of any man to show up his private affairs; ut, at the same time, we have had business which we do not consider the public to be in- terested in, and do not think it necessary to expose it and tell our rivals and competitors all about our affairs.’’ THE REFUSAL Tu SHOW THE BOOKS. Probably Mr. Stanford did notintend to put it in such a significant way, but it is doubtiess true that ‘‘we have had business which we do not consider the public to be interested in, and do not consider it necessary to expose it. However, the public are interested in it, and if the President would only back them up wom would have it exposed. It is the same wit regard to some items in the books so far got at that Mr. Stanford refuses to give any expiana- tion of. He was asked among other items as to certain large amounts that were paid out dur- ing the time the California Legisiature was in session, when a number of lawyers were ‘‘act- ing in his interest there.’* Charies F. Crock- er, one of the officers of the company, was in- terrogated with respect to vouchers, in regard to which he refused, under advice of counsel, to testify. To the guestian as to whether he knew of any Central Pacific money being’ex- ended for legislation, he declined to reply. The wheel within wheel arrangement with the Wells, Fargo & Co. and other express com- anies was inquired into and. numerous trans- ers of stock by which the Gov- ernment security was bied for in- dividual advantage were brought to the surface. With respect to the value of the Central Pacific, C. F. Crocker said that it conid be re oduced for $40,000,000, While its debs was $64,000,000. He had nosuggestions to make as to the adjustment of the road’s debt to th Government, and so faras he was concern he was ready to let the property go when the Government debt matured. From this it may be inferred that this is precisely what Hunting- ton, Stanford and Crocker & Co. contemplate, meanwhile transferring all they can of its val - ue to themselves. Mr. Crocker, Jr., also vir- tually admitted that the company had assumed new obligations in order to pay dividends. THE BALD-KNOBBERS. The Accused Arraigned in Court on Charges ef Murder.

Appointment of Superintendents of the Di- visions of the Cable & Western Road, General Manager De Figuetrado of the Cable & Western Railway has had all the work ot building the road to himself since he under- took the management of it, and the burden has been a heavy one. The improvement in the running of both the steam and cable divisions has been marked, but the demands on his attention make it almost impossible for him to look after the details of the work which require personal superintendence. The contemplated im- provements in the laying of the double track to Union avenue and the increase in the num- ber of trains which the Fall of Pompeli’’ will require render it necessary to have a super- intendent for each division, and thus relieve the Genera] Manager of detail work. It has been decided, therefore, to appoint a superintendent for each division of the ros in reparation r the expected rush of business jn the fall. 0 ap utments have already been made and w it go into effect on September I. For the superintendenay of the steam division Mr. O. B. McDowell, who is at present super- intendent on the Missour!, Kansas & Texas Railroad, and whois highly recommended by the Missouri Pacific officials, has been se- lected. Mr. M. A. Shipley has received the appointment ag superintendent of the cable division. Mr, Shipley hag been connected with the road since the beginning of the enter- rise and has risen from the construction orce to be dispatcher, chief clerk and assist- ant to the general manager.

The committee stood llto 5 in favor of the minister, and as no agreement could be reached it was determined to leave the case to the congregation to settle the question as to whether the minister had seduced the leader of his choir. This, it was argued, would be unfair, as the congregation as a body had not heard tne evidence. It was then determined to have briefs . to be distributed among the flock ,after hich a general meeting will be held and the pastor’s guilt or innocence in the matter be — by a vote.

Jacob Klein Elected Judge of the Circuit Court by Twenty-Two Majority. It was stated this morning that the recount of the ballots cast in the last election for Judge of the Circuit Court had been completed, and showed a majority for Jacob ein over L. B. Valliant, who on an ap- parent majority of 122 had deen ven a certificate of election and had presided n Court Room No. Sof the St. Louis Vircuit Court since that time. Judge Valliant was seen this morning at the Court-house. He would say nothing about the report, as he said he had paid no attention to the recount, that ing in the charge of his attorney, J. H. Overail, who had not communicated to him the result obtained. The eb added; **Ilanticipate no trouble, and s proceed th my dutes as heretofore. ’’ The recount was made under an order from Judge Edwards of the 8t. Louis County Court where the contestis being adjudicated. The order was made upon Recorder of Voters H. W. Williams soon after he entered office and the recount began in February last. The contestee and contestor as well as their attorn were sworn to secrecy regarding every fact regarding the count, ex- cept such facts as might be contained in the Recorder’s certificate. As this certificate has not — been prepared the oath shuts the mouth of every person admitted to the room where the count is being made as to all facts without exception. Mr. Ktein is in New Mexico, but his attorney and D. C. Cabell, attorney for Judge Valliant, refused to disclose the result or say anything regarding the truth of the statement that a majority for Klein has been shown. Reoorder Williams said: ‘‘I put the matter in the hands of 1 deputy, J. B. 8. Le- moine, who has en conducting the count. An accurate record of the votes in each pre- cinct has been — ae and until this rec- ord is recapitulated and the totale obtained no one can sa whether there isa majority one way or the other. I and my deputies have purposely avoided adding any columns in order that we might not be under temptation or in position to divulge the facts. The recapitulation will be made on forms which will be bound in four volumes before a figure is put upon the sheets. It will show when completed the total vote cast at the election in each precinct, and the vote in each recinct for Jacob Klein, L. B alliant and W. F. Smith, the three candidates for the Judgeship, the scattering blank and reje votes. hen the 244 precincts have been transferred to these columns I will certify the correctness of the couut andtake the volumes to the St. Louis County Court. Then the ro- sultcan be known and not till then. There area number of votes 1 by both sides which affect the result, and as have said no one can now say what that result is.’’ W. E. Fisse, Mr. Kiein’s partner, said this morning: I do not know any more about the result of the contest than other people, but 1 have picked up straws of information here and there until I concluded that the small majority certified for Judge Valliant has meited away during the official count, leaving at last a ma- jority for Mr. Klein. What the majority is I am unable to say.’’ The count of rejected ballots was concluded this morning. The recapitulation sheets will be sent to the binder, and when received back the transfer of the record to pages will begin. Several days will be occupied in this work. ° KLEIN ELECTED. Later In the day it was learned that the re- count shows a majority of 22 votes for Kloin on the face of it. There are in the boxes 500 fraudulent votes for Valliant which the court on review is expected to throw out, and there is evidence thatinthe ninety-eighth precinct fifty legitimate voters offered to vote but were not allowed to deposit their ballots. Thisisa recinct in which a judge of election was ndicted. If these votes are counted for Klein and the 500 fraudulent votes for Valliant are thrown out Klein's majority will be 572. Witbout any doubt, however, he has a majority as stated of 22, counting every bal- lot in the boxes. — AMONG THE BROKERS. Cleveland Report—Silver Queen Troubles— Mining Gossip. J.

The min- eral being — out is gaining in richness with the depth. 2 Advices from St. Elmo, Colo., say: ‘‘Mur- phy tunnel is now in over 700 feet and no vein of mineral of importance has been struck, the rumor to t contrary is un- founded. ‘Tis true several seams of vein matter of no value have been cut, but that is all. It will probably be 100 feet more before the Flagstaff vein is reached.’’ * a * A circular letter, dated at Kansas City but mailed at the West St. uis Post-office, signed by Charles W. Greene, was received by the Silver Queen stockholders this morn- ing. The letter contains a report on the mine by Thos. Cahill, now Saperintendent ofthe Grey Eagle, saying: ‘‘The appearance of the mine indicates the proximity of ore, es- pecially at the bottomof the incline. The conta is well-defined and bears every evidence of reaching ore. There are two methods of paying off the $1,600 indebtedness Mr. Greene says: One is to borrow money and the other to buy treasury stock at 124% cents a share. Mr. Greene appeals to the stockholders to take up the treasury stock. * ° oe In a letter of August 22 the Superintendent ofthe Cleveland mine writes that ‘‘since my last letter the little ore shute has not opened very satisfactorily. The pocket encountered the latter part of last month has yielded about forty tons of ore. We have been following a seam of mineral which is now widening and I do not doubt we will strike ore in quantities soon. This will, however, I am afraid be too late to show up in this month’s returns. Am pushing the work in the Last Chance shaft as fast as possi- bie. Have encountered nowa body of por- ph , which makes it much easier to work and enables us to make more rapid progress.’’ THE POLICE WERE CAREFUL, But They Helped Another Man Into the Fiames—A Queer Case. An inquest was held to-day on Sebastian Schauer, who died at the City Hospital yester- day from the effects of burns received at the fire at J. Michel's stable on South Second street at 1:30 Tuesday morning. Max Angermelier tes- tified that there were cries of help from the second floor of the stable, and two police officers who were there refused to go up, but one of the officers showed him up the stuirs into the fire and ran back himself. He could not stand the smoke and had to return. Afterwards he and Frank Kranz wentup and got the man out. Angermeier saysthe only effort the policemen made to save the man was by pushing the witness up the stairs and telling him to doit. Kranz cor- roborated Angermeier’s testimony. Accident was the verdict. 1 HoRRKIBLE! Sufferers by Forest Fires Resort to Cannibal- ism—Terrible Destitution.

On yesterday only eighteen burial permits were issued at the Health Department. To-day but twelve had been issued upto one o’clock before which time the bulk of the permits for the day’s burials are usually taken out. From these facts it will be seen that the mortality bas decreased at a surprising rate. During the hot spell in the early part of the present month the average was upward of eighty deaths per day for a long time, and during the latter part of the Icng hot season the number of deaths ran as high as ninety- five in one day. On making a com- parison to-day with some of the back pages of his book, Mortality Clerk Jacks said: The rate now is only about one-fifth what it was in the hot weather. Everyone feels the benefit of the cool wave and particularly sick people, but this book in a negative sort of away shows how great a blessing this cool weather is toa big city. If this weather continues the rate will be low for the rest ofthe month.’’ Vaccinations. For some days the supolv of virus given to the physicians has not been sufficient to satisfy the demand made on the Health Department. With the approach of the school opening the physicians state that they have numerous calis to vaccinate children. The — has es- caped a visitation from smali-pox for over two years, but it is proposed to en- eourage a general vaccination as far as possible The virus supplied tothe department cannot well be made during extremely hot weather, but since the cool weather set in a quantity will be prepared for distribution among the physicians and use in the public schools at the opening of the scholastic year should a gen- eral vaccination be decided upon. The Hendricks Club Reception. This morning John W. O’ Connell, Paul Bier- mann, and Collector Barnum of the Hendricks Club called on Mayor Francis to discuss ar- rangements for the reception of President Cieveland. The club committee intimated thatthe statesmen represented in the delega- tion were anxious to show their respect for the Executive, but were ready to accept any — estions that His Honor might make on the su — No definite arrangements were made for the occasion. Don’t Want to Work. Several of the Delegates called at the City Hall to-day to ascertain the probability cf Mayor Francis including the extension of the water service in the special message which he will forward to the Assembly to-morrow afternoon. Several of the Delegates are op- posed to considering the plan to- morrow, as it will necessitate several meetings before the matter is disposed of. They do not appreciate the profitableness of attending half a dozen special meetings at which nothing more interesting than the city water service is to be considered. Mayor Francis informed his callers that he could not — yet what action he would take on this top Cc. A Wayward Girl. Katie La Bonte, aged 13 years, was arraigned again to-day before Mayor Francis as an incor- rigibie girl. She was arrested by Police-Officer Hogan some days ago while loafing about Daly’s saloon, No. 12 North Seventh street. The officer reported that the child fre- quented the saloon, which isa prize-fighters’ resort, and associated with rough characters. She was in the habit of begging money for the purpose of buying whisky. On this statement the Mayor ordered her committed to the House of Refuge. A stay was granted on con- dition that the child should be removed from the city. Yesterday she was rearrested, as the condition of the stay had not been complied with. The May- or to-da instructed the police to carry out the order to commit her to the House of Refuge. In connection with the arrest the police forwarded a report stating that June 13, 1881, John La Bonte, aged 10 years, bearing the reputation of being a thief, had been committed to the House of Refuge. No- vember 7, 81, Joseph La Bonte, aged 9 years, was picked up by the police as ‘‘exposed’’ and committed to the institution. On October 4, 1886, Emma La Bonte was committed as ‘‘exposed.’’ All these are members of the same family. At the Mayor’s office this m rning Katie expressed her confi- dence that the Mayor couldn't send her to the House of Refuge, as she was 14 years of age. She was considerably surprised when she was locked up to await the arrival of the van to take her to the institution. CARONDELET JOTTINGS. A Ball of Fire Seen in the Heavens Notes. A strange phenomenon was observed in the heavens by a large number of people here about 7:30 o'clock last night. It was a huge ball of light which moved slowly from east to west and attracted the atteption of every one on the street. Shortly before the hour mentioned it became very dark and only a few stars could de seen between the clouds. Then it was that the ball of fre appeared in the east moving westward. About 8 o’clock the lurid sphere seemed to be directly above Caronde- letand apparently was stationary for some time, and then continued in its course until it disappeared in the western sky, leaving a trail of chree or four red and blue streaks. The strange light caused great consternation among the superstitious people, some of whom declared it was the Starof Bethlehem, the return of which has been discussed in the papers. Some declared that it portended an awful calamity. No reason forthe occurrence has been found. NOTES. Messrs. George Lay, Fred Ullrich and H. Mullery returned from St. Paul, Minn., yester- day.

MILLER, Ind., August 25.—The first fatal wreck of the season has just occurred. The schooner Clara of Manistee was driven ashore and her wreckage is strewn along the beach for miles. Capt. Olson, her master and owner, and one of the sailors lost their lives, and John Gustavson, the mate, escaped by swim- ming ashore on a plank. The vessel was bound for Chicago with a cargo of hardwood lumber. She left Manistee Monday morning with a light wind, but toward night a squall swept down upon herfrom the northeast, jerking her headsails out of the bolt ropes, and crippling her sothat she became unmanageable. All night long she staggered before the gale, that kept increasing in violence. The sea ran very high, and the waves swept her decks of every- thing movable. She arrived off Chicago in such a disabled condition that it was impossi- ble to work her into the harbor, and she was driven up the lake. Realizing thatshe was soon to be on the beach Capt. Olson let go of the anchor when abreast of Chicago, but the flukes failed to hold, and she 8 on a sand-bar half a mile from shore. The seas kept dashing over her, and the crew of three men were com- pelled to climb into the rigging and lash themselves to keep from being washed overboard. In less than an hour, the cover - ings of the hatches were carried away and the sea swept into the hold, filling it to the decks. Then she rolled over on her side, and Hans Christensen was carried away on the crest of a wave. Capt. Oleon and Gustavson got hold ofaplank. It was raining hard and the night was so dark they could see nothing, but they clungtothe plank with the hope that the waves would push it onward to the beach. Gustavson = he heard aloud cry and on looking behind bim saw the cap- tain had relaxed his hold and was even then DISAPPEARING BENEATH THE WAVES. He was unable to help him, and the captain went down. Gustavson does not recollect much about his battle for life. Three times the plank turned over and buried him in the water, but he bung on to it and was dashed 8 and senseless on the sandy beach. When he regained his senses he was lying upon his back with the rain pelting down on his face. There was nota house in sight, for the village lies three miles back from the lake. Naked, bruised and bleeding, he made his way along the beach to the club house of the Calumet Shooting Club. He had just enough strength to give a feeble rap on the door and when it opened, he fell fainting across the threshold. He was carried inside and kindly cared for until he recovered sufficientiy to relate his story, and after Doing provided with clothing, he took the train for Chicago. Before leaving, Gus- tavson went down to the benen to see what had become of the wreck. He found that it had broken up and the broken timbers and cargo were scattered in every § direc- tion. The captain’s chest, which Gustavson says Contained a large sum of money, was found, butit was broken open andthe con- tents were missing. Gustavson thinks the chest had been rified by thieves. Neither of the bodies has been recovered. All day and last night a crowd of men from the village have been on the beach gathering up the car- ty a drifted ashore and hauling it away. y morning there was not much left to mark the resting place of the vessel. Ben Lanloos of the Chicago Life-saving Crew, who came down here with areporter, says he never saw such a hungry lot of thieves around a wreck in his life. THE WEATHER. vA No Promise of a 1 in Tem- perature— Cool Northwest Weather. The indications for to-day as published by the Signal-Service were higher temperature, fair weather. Tho higher temperature came, but the fair weather lingering in some obscure corner of the remote West. There was rain tothe west of St. Louis this morning, though notin great quantities, and all day the clouds have been hanging over the city listlessly waiting for a moment when every one is unprepared to let loose a drench- ing. They are expected to loaf about until to-morrow. The temperature at yesterday’s 6 0’clock a.m. reading was 58 deg. ; to-day it was at 62 deg. at the same hour. he 2 o’clock p. m. reading was 69 yesterday, to-day it was 73. The minimum yesterday was 53. to-day it was 61. The high barometer area in the northwest has moved a little further east, but its motion is extremely slow and the temperature in that area remains —4 sistently low. Moorhead reported 40 eg. this morning, a rise of 2deg. Minnedosa is down to 30, two deg. below freezing, a com- fortable August temperature, and St. Vincent reports 3 deg. These are the lowest temper- atures in the country.

The Blood Sun Dance. A correspondent of the Toronte Mail at Fethbridge, N. W. T., describes an ancient Indian ceremonial as follows: The an- nual sun dance of the Blood Indians came off yesterday, and it was easy to be seen that this barbarous custom among this people is fast on the wane. It is more used now asanexcusefora grand annual'‘loaf’ than for ‘making warriors,’ and so keep- ing up the old reputation of the Blood Nation. Some have urged that the Gov- ernment should putastop by force to what they deem a heathenish rite, but to the credit of the Government let it be said they have looked at the affair through a different glass. Left to itself, from many causes now in actual operation, it is only a question of time when the sun dance shall lose all its attractions for poor Lo and become a thing of the past. ‘““Yesterday only one warrior was made, and but for the seductive presents of tea and sugar of an enterprising photogra- pher who wished to secure a negative of the same, even this small part of the usual programme would not have taken lace. Divested of its most objectionable eature, the torturing, the affair is merely a huge picnic. It has been said ‘that it is a poor heart that never re- joiceth,’ and if the simple Indians find any pleasure in a few days’ harmless romp, why deny or begrudge them of it? The making of the one warrior this year was a perfect hippodrome, just as two rey or wrestlers might ~ before- and to give an exhibition of their skill to the public, but beforehand had agreed notto hurt each other very much. In place of the slits in different parts of the body being made as in former times, so that it would often take days before they gave way, during which time the candi- date would suffer in agony, this year the skin was only very slightly punctured, so that as soon as the young Indian saw that the photographer had secured him he broke away of his own accord and quietly walked out of thering.’’ Army Systems in Europe. From the London Truth. Ihave been misunderstood about my 283838 for the reorganization of the ar Office. Iam represented as being in favor of the German system, whereas the system whichI advocate is the French system. Thereis a wide difference be- tween the two. In German the Emperor is Commander-in-Chief of the army. Under him are two co-ordinate authorities, the War Min- ister and the Chief of the General Staff. Both these officials are appointed by the Emperor and work into one another’s hands. The Reichstag votes the estab- lishment of men and the money required for the army; butit has no further con- trol over the expenditure, which is gen- erally in excess of the Minister’s first es- timate, and has to be met by supple- mentary demands. If any member of the Reichstag asks unpleasant questions he is immediately (as Gen. Brackenbu explained in his evidence) ‘‘snuffed out“ by the Chancellor, who is always supported by the War Minister. I have a er respect for the military power of Germany, but 1 trust that such a system as that will never be introduced into England. It is only tolerated in Germany on account of the great personal influence exerted by the Emperor, owing to the success of his licy in 1866 and 1870. In France the War Minister is supreme head of the army. He is Commander-in-Chief as wellas Minis- ter. There is no one over him. Parlia- ment is his only master. The Chief of the French General Staff is under his orders; so are the commanders of army corps dis- tricts. In case of war the Commander in-Chief in the field reports direct to the War Minister. Under this system the French Chamber can, and does, exercise, through the responsible Minister, a proper control over both the comptabilite and commandment of the national army. This is the system I advocate for England. Chance Favored Pluck. From the Ipswich Chronicle. Living in the families of two prominent Ipswich citizens are two sisters, natives of the old country. One of them has been in this country some twenty years, the younger sister is a later arrival. This summer they sent fora brother, who ar- rived in town this week. Although the young Irish lad came the whole long jour- ney across the water without accident and arrived in the very town where his sisters lived, he had forgotten his directions and was unable to remem- ber the names of either of the fam- ilies in which they lived. In this dilemma, with true Irish wit, he sat about askin everybody he met if they knew either o his sisters, calling their name. In the course of his inquiries it is said he encoun- tered the employer of his younger sister, who, however, failed to recognize the name of his domestic, althou she has been a member of his family six months or more. Persisting in his search young Durand finally observed some one he thought looked as his eldest sister ought to look, for he had not seen ‘her since he was 2 years old, and having become some- what discouraged at his own lack of suc- cess, asked some one near to ask her name. Thus he found theone he was seek- ling, who, having waited for him until she began to get alarmed, had started for Bos- ton to hunt him up, and was thenon her way to the depot when observed by him. Religion in Western Texas. From the Detroit Free Press. While in Val Verde County in the sum- mer of 1886, investigating some land titles, | Lattended a camp-meeting. The minis- ter who presided invited those who wished to be prayed for to occupy the front seats. A n-looking young ‘‘knight of the lariat,’’ among ers, made his way to ne 8 He 2 3 in oharge 1 of the deacons, who thus : Now, m dear young friend, don’t cnt on’t love Jesus; Jesus who died that you m live ——— 3 the world beyond; d vou love him „Wa-al,“ was the answer, I've hear’n tell on him, an I guess I hain’t got nuth- in’ h m. the reader join in ind join battle with vastly superior numbers ot the enemy, and, Heavenly Father, we would like mightily for you to be on our side and help us, but if you can’t do it, for Heaven’s sake don’t go over to the greas- ers, but justlie low and keep dark, and you will see one of the toughest fights you ever saw in all your born days.“ In 9 a history of religion in the early days of Texas I find the 2 remarkable language to have been by a preacher in a western county during the course of a sermon: | Now, my dear friends, let us reason to- gether. Suppose you lose 17 2 09 you can work for more; if you your wives, you can ma again; were you to lose your children, you might have more: but if you lose your immortal souls, up the spout you go.” A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS. Mr, Fullerton Tells How His Wife Got Inte the Hands of Money-Lend From the New York Wor Lp. e Mrs. Helena Broadhurst, who recently got from $6,000 to $9,000 in mor on roperty not worth one-tenth that amount, s stillabsent from the State, and so is her aunt, Mrs. Fullerton. Lawyer Brown wishes to see her, too, and mindful of the best way to attain his ends he inserted this personal“ in the Herald of yesterday: WILL PAY LIBERALLY FOR THE PRESENT address of Mrs. Broadhurst of 17 Gallatin place, Brooklyn. I. B. BROOKS, 167 Broadway. „My sole object in pushin the prosecu- tion of these people,“ he said to a Herald reporter, who calledon him, ‘‘is to make an example of them and by so doing to break up, if possible, other like consp cies for making money out of agents. There are many of them.” MRS. FULLERTON WAS A DUPE. Mr. J. J. Fullerton, husband of the absent woman, claims that no blame should be attached to her. The papers have said that my wife accompanied Mrs. Broadhurst regularly to the races,” he said to a Herald reporter era and was even with her when the detectives came to arrest her, whereas the truth is that my wife has been away from Brook- lyn for several days, and that the lady who was mistaken for her on the day the detectives called at the house is the wife of a well-known Brooklyn official. My wife has been the dupé in this busi- ness. I knew nothing of wnat was und on until I came home one day and foun the furniture for which I had paid $1,200 cleared outof the house. Several firms professed to have a claim on it, but all were losers except the one which held the first mortgage. Not that I pity these men, for I consider them no better than usurers. Some of them charged interest at the rate of 30 per cent for three months or 120 per cent per annum. HE OBJECTS TO USURY. My wife would go to one of them with Mrs. Broadhurst and borrow—say $100 for three months at 30 per cent interest. At the end of the three months, if the prin- cipal was not paid, the loan could be re- newed for another three months at the same rate of interest so that for every $100 borrowed, my wife would have had to pay $60 interest every six months. If this isn’t usury, I don’t know what is „Of course my wife has acted very fool- ishly, but she certainly did not mean to wrong or cheat any one. She was not a betting woman and the money she bot- rowed was not spent by her. She has left the State now and I don’t know when I shall see her again. M home has been broken up, and I have left the house where she and I lived together. Mrs. Broadhurst, I see, has left the Sta also, andI presume she will not come back in a hurry.” Mr. Fullerton is a well-known business man and seems much affected by the trouble which his wife has caused him.

It would have cost that much more to pay the interest to maturity and then redeem the bonds at par. But the fact remains that he has the face of their bonds, and that they can now keep loaned out to the tax-payers of this country at 6 per cent about $110 for every $100 on which the Government was paying them 4% percent. Here we have a simple Illustration of the operation of a system of excessive taxation which com- pels the Government to distribute in bonuses to bondholders the money ex- torted from tax-payers, who have to pay much higher rates of interest than the United States ever pays. 2 —— * ww THE PRESIDENT AND STANFORD. To show that he did not telegraph to Chairman Pattison to use his own dis- cretion about employing counsel in the proceedings to compel STANFORD to answer the questions of the Pacific Rail- road Commission, President CLEVELAND has published the following as the word- ing of his dispatch: Upon your statement that,in your judg: ment, counsel should be employed, I author- ize and approve such employment, No other form of words could more ef- fectually shift the responsibility from the President to the Chairman of the Com- mission. It is a careful reservation of the President’s own judgment asto whether answers to legitimate questiona should be legally wrung from the Pacific Railroad plunderers or not. He washes his hands of the responsibility and puts it all on Parrisox, just the same as if the dispatch had said: Use your own discretion at your own peril.” The country has rung for years with evi- dence of frauds and wrongs perpetrated by the Pacific Railroad managers, and Mr, CLEVELAND owes his nomination and election largely to a popular faith in him as a man who had the will and the nerve to enter heartily into the movement for bringing those powerful millionaires to the bar of justice. But since he has been in office they have seemed to be as influ- ential in the departments as they ever were. Evidence of their frauds and gross violations of law has been placed before him in vain, and has received no notice in any of his messages to Congress. Maj. REDINGTON’s report, showing how the Government had been defrauded by the diversion of $823,000 of Pa- cific Railroad earnings as a sub- sidy given for an unlawful purpose to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, was 80 conclusive that Secretary Lamar officially urged the bringing of a suit for the amount. But the whole subject was pigeon-holed and REDINGTON was re- moved from office with scandalous quick- ness. The fact that none ofthe suits provided for by law with reference to illegal divi- dends and illegal issues of stock have been instituted by the present administration has remained so long without other ex- planation thatthe press now flippantly attributes it toa speculation in Pacific Railroad stock by the Standard Oil peo- ple. All this was a bitter disappointment to Democrats and to the people at large, When Congress at last forced this investi- gation the coldness and reserve with which the President acquiesced was an- other disappointment. It is no wonder that unfavorable comment is called forth by the averted face and apparently grudging concessions with which he now treats the applications of the Commission for authority to make their investigation a success. — a — — Ir the final settlement of the KiLErm- VALLIANT contest shall show, as intimated by the Globe-Democrat, that Judge VaL- LIANT was counted in’’ and wrongfully declared elected by the election officers, there will be a fine opportunity for a Re- publican Circuit-Attorney toshow some efficiency in the way of prosecuting every such officer guilty of any misfeasance whatever in connection with the returns or thecount. It is only by holding all election officers to a rigid accountability for the proper discharge of their duties that fair elections and correct returns can be secured. * — THE platform of the Iowa Republicans declares it to be the intention of the Southern people to degrade the negroes into a servile form of cheap labor;’’ but the same platform is as dumb as an oyster about the Pennsylvania coal miners, who receive about half as much as Southern negroes doing the same kind of work. Is it a tenet of Republican faith that an op- pressed laborer is entitled to relief only when he wears a black skin? and is the Caucasian played out?’’ — — ume — oo LELAND STANFORD’s evanescent Presi- dential boom was killed by the discovery that he had been casting too many anchors to windward. The Republican party in- sists that the anchors cast by its grand tyooons shall be made of magnetized iron.

League No definite charge can be prought against it, but there is a clause in the coercion act which renders it necessary either that Parliament should be sitting, or that it should at once be called together when ever an association is proclaimed in Ireland by the Executive. So,{to save all trou- ble, the Government has proclaimed the National League. The effect of this is that the Executive may, without further Interventionof Parliament at any time during the recess declare that any man be- longing to the League may be sent to prison forsix months. To meet this high-handed proceeding it isthe intention of a considerable number of English, Welsh and Scotch mem- bers to become members of the League. If at any time the Government acts on its proclama- tion and sends men to prison for belonging to this proclaimed association, these members will at once proceed to Ireland and their persecuted brothers. We shall stand by then see if the Government dares to arrest them. THE LATE ELECTIONS. As regards the late elections, Mr. Chamber- lain finds comfort in the fact that the Glad- stone candidates have adopted Liberal-Union- ist principles. They have done nothing of the kind, but it this were true, why did he use his best endeavors to insure their defeat? I had imagined that there was a clear issue Sir George Trevelyan and Mr. Ashley between at Glas- gow, and that the latter, not the former, was a Liberal-Unionist; but no sooner Is Si elected thau Mr. Chamberlain insiats r George that this isa Unionisttriumph.

Unfortunately, the unbelieving world entire- ly refuses to bow the knee either Birmingham Mecca or to the Mohammed. to the Birmingham THE RIDGEWAY DEFENSE FUND.

There is consternation at the Turkish Court, as the chief of the eunuch has died. This functionary, who was in his 7th year, bad presided over the harems of successive sul- tans for more than forty years. He was a negro of great strength and gigantic stature, and his name was Hafiz Behram Agha. The people of the harem called him L'Altesse Noire. He was a genuine Moslem of the old schoo], and detested Europeans and all European costumes and ideas. He exercised immense influence at the Porte. He was officially described as The Porter of the Gate of Felicity of the Commander of the Faithful.’’ His successor as chief of the eunuchs is an American, who is supposed to be on excellent terms with the Russian embassy. PALGRAVE SIMPSON. By the deatb‘or poor Palgrave Simpson the Garrick Club has lost one of the most popular of its veteran members and the literary world one of its oldest representatives. I can well remember his telling me some years ago that almost the first fruits of his literary labors he laid out in the purchase of Asmallannulty, It was well that he did so, for after he severed his connection with the Dramatic Authors’ Society this was almost the only source ot in- come left to him. His loss will be felfby a large circle of friends and admirers. N LORD AND LADY DYSART. Lord and Lady Dysart have been entertain: ing a party of friends at Buckminster Hall in Lincolnshire, and a garden-party was given there which was attended by all the society of the neighborhood. Lord Dysart left Buck- minster on Friday last for America, and will not return to England till the middle of No- vember. SILLY STORIES. Prince Bismarck was meton his arrival at Kissingen by several Englishmen, as well as by the officials of the district, and on the an- niversary of the battle of Gravelotte his statue was decorated with wreaths of flowers. The organ fund which was started there last year by the Rev. Dr. Porter ia making steady progress and the little English church has been presented this year with a silver communion service by Sir Hugh Shafto Adair. It seems to me that nothing is too ridioulous in these days for the daily papers. Can anything be more preposterously nonsensical than the announcement of the Berlin correspondent of the Standard that Prince Bismarck takes twenty baths aday at Kissengen, and that he stays ineach bath twenty minutes and then takes an hour’s walk! This palpable balder- Gash is gravely printed by the Standard and copied withouta wordof comment into halfthe papers of the country. The real fact is that Prince Bismarck’s cure at Kis- singen consists of twenty baths, and he stays there for three weeks, taking a bath every morning. Another journal is not less extravagantly absurd in its report of Emperor William’s proceedings at Gastein, for it de- scribes him as taking twelve baths a day. Such ideas must give a thrill to the nerves of any- body who has ever visited Bad Gasteim for if Heroules had tried the experiment of taking six of the se baths in one day, he would not have been alive the next. The Emperor only took eight baths altogether during his visit to Gastein. PRINCE FERDINAND. Prince Ferdinand's friends in Vienna were apprised of his departure for Sofia by receiving a photograph of him in his Bulgarian uniform, and his coachman went round the city leaving shoals of his own cards, in which he described himself as Premier Cocher de 8. A. R. Le Prince de Bulgaria. ABERRATIONS OF THE TIMES. It is really sickening to find the Times drivel- ing asit did on Friday. One is accustomed now toits sycophantic imbecilities, but it ig going too far to recommend the Queen to keep aportion of the Woman’s Fund money in order to provide herself with a jewel as a me- mento of this product of the jubilee. Surely the ridiculous statue of the Prince Consort which is being erected in Windsor Park is quite adequate asa personal memorial, and the Queen possesses enough jewelry to stock all the shops in Bond street. The aberrations of the Times are becoming no less ludicroug than contemptible. HENRY LABOUCHERE, — — — — PROCLAIMING THE LEAGUE, Comments of the London News“ and % Standard” Upon the Dublin Meeting. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lonpon, August %.—The Daily News said editorially yesterday morning: ‘‘The great meeting in the rotunda at Dublin Tuesday night was an epoch in the history of England and Ireland. It was attended by several En- glish Members of Parliament, and it bore em- phatic testimony to the fact that the real union of the two countries has been at length achieved by the most illustrious of English statesmen. Mr. Pitt's wisdom, if it had been left to work out its own high purposes, might have secured that result at the beginning of the century. Unfortunately, the pressure of the French war, aided by the obstinacy of the insane king and the malignity of frensied factions over- came the great Minister’s soruples and the union was never completed. Happily for us to-day, the Queen is a constitutional sover- eign who reigns in the hearts of the people and Mr. Gladstone, though notin office, isin power. Her Majesty’s Government may pro- claim the National League as a dangerous as- sociation, butthey are far more dangerous themselves to the best interests of the Em- pire than the National League. Lord Salis- bury and his colleagues have huried a boom- erang against their political opponents in Ire- land, but it has missed the mark and recolled with crushing force against themselves. MATTERS BROUGHT TO 4 HEAD. in one sense, however, like the League itself, we welcome the action of the Lord Lieutenant. It has cleared the air, we know where we are, Matters have now been brought to a head, and instead of watching events or waiting upon Providence we have something to fight about. There is, indeed, no reason whatever why Irishmen should lose their self- control, and we feel sure that they will not do so. They have only to be patient and they will not have to wait long. The sands in the ministerial glass are rapidly running out, and the decision at which the Cabinet arrived last Thursday hag considerably accelerated the pace. Let Irishmen not forget that the ob- ject of the Tory pla- holders is to drive them into criminal courses in order that a coercionist ministry may be retained in office. The proclamation of the League bas raised a definite issue which every elector can under- stand, and the speeches delivered in Dublin, Tuesday night, will smooth the way for Mr. Gladstone to-morrow.’’ THE STANDARD. The Standard says; The meeting — 22 regarded as the formal opening of the 0 which is to de made upon the Government for their action in proclaiming the National League. We rejoice that the challenge is taken up thus openly, for we shall all the more quickly and the more correctly, learn to what extent the English Separatists are prepared to goin aiding and ebetting or- ganized resistance to the law and to the au- | Irisb tenants would now seek to promote their objects by devices outside the law, One Speaker declared that he did not care whether the action of the League was illegal or not, he would support iu. Another gloried In the fact that the struggle was one for supremacy between the League and the English Govern: ment, and that one or the other party would come out « dead man. Will this lan- guage be echoed in Parliament to-morrow night by the ex-Prime Minister? If it is, the justification of the action of the Government will be complete, Deserted alike by their native leader and by the more promi- nent of their English aliles, the rotunda ora- tore fall back on those wild and whirling gen- eralities inspired by the genius of the place, whieh are always safe to rouse an Irish audience to enthusiasm. They were met, as the chairman said, to senda note of defiance to the Castle, and for the purpose of expos!- tionand development of that text nothing comes amiss. It goes without saying that the nature of the Government’s action was mis- represented. Once more we repeat that it depends entirely on the National League itself what the action of the Government is to be.“ * n PARIS GOSSIP.

In the effort of the first-water gentlemen to get away from the waiter a new style of dress. coat has been jinyented. The gaudy thing in silks and colors, with knee breeches and silk stockingt to match had too many objections, In addition to its overpowering prettiness, the necessity of fillinga silk stocking was a larger contract than most swell young men would undertake. The new thing of beauty is the cutaway changed to 80 extent and idealized into a full dress „ It is aimply a bob- tailed dress coat, and by the biggest stretch ean hardly be classed beyond semi-dress, It is said to be the idea of the Countess of Rose - berry, who introduced it by requesting the gentlemen invited to a party at her house to wear the coat. It is of diagonal cloth, with soft rolling collar faced with silk, and low-cut vest. The features of the coat which distin. guish it from the regular coat is a short, rounded tail almost like a sack, and side pockets. It issaid to have taken hold in New York and some of the fashionable resorts. 2 * It bas already received a severe blow. The New York Womp's Saratoga correspondent states that E. Berry Wall, the king of the dudes, attempted to wear one at one of the Grand Union Hotel dances, and the attendant refused to allow him on the floor under the iron-olad rule governing these parties and re- quiring full dress, Mr. Wall was indignant and blasted the man’s ignorance and mulishness but to no purpose. It was not aspiked-tail eoatand no amount of talk- ing about it being English ye know! could convince the attendant that it was; so Mr Wall had to sport it outside. Asa matter of fact the style is not new, although to advo. cate as the substitute roughout for the regulation dress-coat is new. The low-cut vest and cutaway were frequently worn last winter, not only in the Kast but here in St. Louis, to theaters and informal evening arties. There is reagon for wearing them to heaters and other sitting entertainmets, As the tail is largely dispensed with, they are more comfortable than the swallow-tail, have pockets, and when the wearer is seated have all the effect of full dress, but substituting them for the old style is another thing. They cannot compare in formal dignity with the long-ta®ed coat. They had better be turned over to the waiters, be- eause ina comparison of a waiter in aswal - low-tall and a first-water gentleman in a bob. tail, one who was not up to the fad would be likely to take the walter for the f. w. g. Francis Wilson, who has made such a tre mendous hit in ‘‘Erminie’’ at the New Casino, is said to get the largest salary of comedian on the stage. He gets $500 a week which gives him an annual income of $26 , 000 aue for being irresistibly funny. Wilson ig another example of 2 rapid ups in the the atrical profession. here has been enough said about Dixey haying been the hind legs of the heifer, and his small salary at that time, as compared with the fortune he has made in the last few ears with ‘‘Adonis,’’ Wilson's rise was lit- le less wonderful. His jump from the variety stage into burlesque was not taken much over half a dozen years ago, and he Was given his start byast Louis manager. He was un- known except as a pony clever variety man when Manager W. U. Mitchell of the People’s Theater engaged him for Our Goblins“ in 1880. Hetook the rt of the bloodthiraty Baron at a salary of $20 a week to begin on, He was a success and soon jumped to $50 and then to Nö before Mr. Mitchell was — with him. His career has been baloon- Uke ever since until he has reached the top of sal - ay achievement. The chances are that he will have a piece of his own before long and will make or break on his own hook. — 2 5 Notwithstanding the „ way in which Calder and Shackford, with « part of the Cave company, deserted the * matinee at the Olympic yesterday the enefit was a fair success financially and will ac complish the end in view, which is the removal of Alice May's remains to a more suitable spot in Bellefontaine Come tery and the erection of a headstone to mark the place of burial. It is one ofthe evidences ofthe talentofthe dead singer, that no one who ever saw her ina part at all suited to her forgotit. She always gave her work an in- dividualand striking impress. Innumerable notices of her death have been written all over the country, and in each one is the mentian of some particular character in which she made ahit. In New York it is her Artemisia in „Me War,’ which is remembered to ber credit but that is ol one of the many clever things she did, The excellent attendance at the matinee was 3 tribute to her memory, The performance was really remarkable considering the haste with which the company was collected and the lack of rehearsals. Of course they all went in for all the fun that could be made of the opera, but the work was fren withasnap which made things hum and kept the audien@ thor- oughly amused. It was the wind-up of the summer season and the audience and the com- pany madethe best of it. In some respects he performance was better than any that has been given this summer, Over $200 was cleared by the benefit, * bd * I noticed one member of the cast, she is 4 local singer too, who madea decided hit and shows undoubted cleverness. This is Miss Patti Stone, who took the part of Pitti-Sing. 1 remember dropping into the People's ane night when Ennis and Young's Opera Com- pany were playing there and gave ‘‘The ikada‘’ for the firsttime. There had been some trouble with the Katisha, who retired, and in the change around Miss Stone was com- pelled to take the part of Yum-Yum on short notice. She gave @ really wonderful performance, considering the circumstances with scarcely a break from beginning to en and with so much spirit aud vivacity that she won the audience. Herappearance has been limited to a few amateur performances and to singing with the Stone-Kreiter quartette. She has youth, attractiveness, a clear, sweet voice, and there is evidence inthe work she bas done of qualities which, with experience and ouporvansies will make her a success as an operatic sonbrette, Snow in St. Louis during the month of Au- st is unknown and yet there is excellent evi, dence that this very phenomenon occurred day before yesterday Coring the little flurry of rain that fell near the middle of the day. Sev- eral reports have come from the surrounding country to the effect that a slight snowfal ocourred that day. I have met several per- sons who declare positively that their at- tention was called to the fact and they saw the snowflakes as they fell. Of course the flakes were fine vnd light and the fall lasted only fur a brief period, but they say in the face of ridicule and the prospect of blasted reputations for veracity, that there is no ques- tion of the truth of the statement.
