EDITION ACALAMITY INJAPAN The Island of Kiou-Siou Shaken by a Dreadful Earthquake. Villagek in Ruins and Many of the Inhabitants . Gen. Boulanger Carries Twenty-Three Can- tons— Election Frauds Charged Against the French Government—The Dervishes Advancing Slowly—A Skirmish With the Egyptians— Tne European Crops—A British Bark Wrecked—The Surplus of the Parnell Indemnity Fund—The Trouble in Crete—Premier Crispi’s Proposition to the Turkish Ministry—Foreign News. YOKOHAMA, July 30.—A dispatch received to-day from Nagaski states that a dreadful earthquake has occurredin the western part of the Island of Kiou Sion. The town of Umaoto was destroyed. A great number of people perished. A vast amount of property was also destroyed. The European Crops. Weta Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 30.—The harvest news with which the week opens shows that the situation of the world’s breadstuff supply is much more serious than was expected a fortnight ago when the rise in price began here. Russian official reports now admit that the wheat crop is the worst in many years, but they strive to take the edge off the announcement by the declaration that the Government, in conse- quence, will reduce railway rates on grain freights, so as to prevent a food panic inside the empire. Telegrams from Vienna yesterday reported the rav- ages of something like a _ cyclone in Hungary and Northern Koumania, which not only destroyed the grain still standing, but swept away sO many granaries at Szegedin, Mohaes and other centers that the bulk of the grain harvested a few weeks ago was also destroyed. The Austrian Minister of Agri culture officially announced the day before the storm that the grain crops of Galicia and Silesia were a total failure and those of Bohe- mia and Moravia very bad. SHORTAGE. In India, too, the reports from Bombay are worse asthe season advances. Official esti- mates of averages show a shortage of fuliy 15,000,000 busheis, but these tidings from ex- porting countries are not the worst feature of the preeenut situation. Two weeks ago it was assumed that both England and France wouid have exceptionally large yields. This hope is now measurably shaken. The Times says: The recent wet, cold weather has caused considerabie loss and oc- cusions seriqus anxiety tothe farmers of En- gland. Unless there are now six wveks of un- broken sunshine the favorable prospects for the year will not be at all realized. The same wretched climatic conditions worked havoc with the French crop, which is now estimated ata fifth less than afortnight ago. Shipping freights from the Baltic and Black Sea ports have within a week advanced from 1% d to 18 6d to France and England in consequence. All this has had a marked effect on the provincial rain markets of Europe, which still keep in- — of any central standard of prices, and rise and fall more upon tue condition of the „ disjrict than on the general outlook. In Hungary prices have taken an upward leap and this istrue in France, Ger- many and Belgium in somewhat varying degree. Here in England the nine chief provincial markets covering the principal corn producing area show a uniform advance of from 6d to ls per quarter and Sunday and esterday’s rains will send this still higher. Wheat cutting begins in Essex this week, and Will soon be general, which makes the con- tinuance of cold rains fatal, not only to quantity but to quality. Unless all signs fail the estimate of the world’s productto be com- piled atthe Vienna International Seed Fair, August 24, willshowa situation considerably worse than that of last year. This is probably the best possible explanation of the sudden dying away of war rumors.“ Beulanger’s Rout. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 30.—The news of Boulanger’s rout in the cantonal elections was given great prominence in the latest editions of the even- ing papers here yesterday, and reports from Paris said the Republicans were enthusiastic over the victory, which they scarcely dared to hope or expect. The General himself was invisible last night and though his friends pooh- poohed the thing as of no consequence, there is no doubt that they fear the game is up. There are renewed bints that Boulanger is going to America immediately. FALSIFYING VOTING PAPERS. PARIS, July 30.—La Presse, a Boulangist or- gan, accuses the Government of falsifying 8,000,000 voting papers at the elections for the Councils General on Sunday. Corrected re- turns show that Gen. Boulanger was elected in twenty-three cantons. LONDON, July 30.—This was the first day of the Goodwood meeting.

Gen. Birne’s 83-year-old chest- nut colt, Amphion, by Speculum or Roseberry out of Suicide, was second, and Lord Pen- rhyn’s 4-year-old brown colt, Noble Chieftain, by Fitzjames out of Village Belle, third.

It was also resolved to dispatch sight battalions of troops to the island. Signor Crispi, the Italian Prime Minister, bas ad- vised the Turkish Governmentto attempt to conciliate the Cretians and, tn a to resort to the mediation of a European power.

HERMANSVILLE, Miss., July 30.—A most hor- rible accident occurred near this place last night. J. W. Griffin, an old farmer and citi- zen of Claiborne County, was shot and in- stantly killed under the following circum- stances. Ed Griffin, son of the deceased, a youth of 18 years, was annoyed with a thief who had made several attempts to break into the house, and upon going to bed he took his double-barreled shot-gun, charged with small shot, in bed with him. During the night a wind and rain-storm came up and blew his door open.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, July 8.—The full court gave judgment at noon to-day in tne Martin Burke appeal. livered by Chief Justice Taylor, Jadge Du and Judge Killam. They all concurred ig finding that there were no grounds for re. versing the action of Judge Bam, who come mitted Burke for extradition.

Alexander Ross, left for Winnipeg last night and they will ar- rive there Wednesday at noon. The Chief ig determined to have Burke back here, and as soon as the full bench at Winnipeg renders ite gecision itis probable that the prisoner will e started south. The Chief’s object tn poe, to Winnipeg is to personally superintend the work of bringing the prisoner and the wit nesses, Carlson and Martensen, back to Chi- cago. So much bas been said about nating them that he deems it good judgement to exercise every possible precaution to as- sure their „ The motion of P. O’Sullivan’s attorneys for achange of venue was argued before Judge Horton this morning. All the five prisoners were brought into the court-room, which was packed to suffocation, partly with the friends of the suspects and partly with people who had been drawn thither by mere idie curiosity. Judge Longenecker made «a short speech opposing the motion for a change of venue. He said that the two citizens who signed affidavits to the effect that they believed O’sullivan could nos et a fair trial before Judge Horton. or Judge awes, were unknown. They had negiected to state who they were and their business. For allthe court knew they micht have been imported from Indiana or Wisconsin for no other purpose than tomake these affidavits. The attorneys for O'Sullivan deciined to enter upon an extended argument, but presented to thecourtafew opinions in supportof their motion. In regard to the motion to quash the indictments against the other prisoners the counsel for the defense opposed the immedi- ate consideration of the matter. The court took the whole matter under advisement. THE CINCINNATI TRAGEDY. A Military "Funeral Accorded the Victim, Col. A. E. Jones, CINCINNATI, O., July 80.—It has been a long while since a funeral in Cincinnati has gath- ered s0 many mourners as that of the mur- dered Col. A. E. Jones this afternoon. No man in the city was more widely known. His pride in the military record of his ancestors, some of whom endured the sufferings of Valley Forge, hie enthusiastic interesg in all military organizations, his public spirit and his prominence as an officer of the Gov- ernment during the late war and since, all brought him in contact with people, so that he was everybody's acquaintance. It seemed the most appropriate thing to accord him a military funeral. The family acquil- esced. Crowds gathered about the house this afternoon before the time ap- —— The military escort consisted of the ret Regiment Oblo National Guards and a battery of artillery. Besides this there was a large attendance of the various" Grand Army posts of the city. Gov. Foraker and a portion of his staff were 2 ent. The Governor was a neighbor of the deceased for years and had appointed him surgeon- general. The ceremony of a military funeral, including the march from the house tothe church, with six stalwart sergeants carrying the body of the deceased, his horse led after the coffin and the troops wit reversed arms and slow step to a fun dirge, formed a most impressive scene. At the First Presbyterian Church only a small portion of the assemblage could find room, Alter tne usual services the Grand Army ritual was observed and then the procession wag formed and the military marched a short dis- tance beyoud the city limits where a farewell was taken and the body taken to its resting piace in Spring Grove Cemetery.

The Old Police Scandal. By Telegraph to the Post-Disraton. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30.—The civilian members of the District Commission have al- most concluded their investigation of the con- duct of ex-Police Lieut. Arnold, who was Gismissed from the force for spying on the ac- tions of Cotigressmen. The two civil com- missioners are disposed to vindicate Arnold ‘Dy appointing him inspector of street clean- fing, but Maj. Raymond, the military com- missioner, is opposed to giving any appoint- ment to Arnold and there is bound to be a row. Maj. Raymond said of Arnold: He was dis- honorably dismissed from the police service ore I became commissioner. I have gone over the papers and read the proceedings of the trial curefully. He was undoubtedly 2 dis missed. The reason of Arnold’s dismissal two years ago Was a scandal arising out of the fact that he had been keeping strict watch on the pri- vate habits of prominent Congressmen, with the view of collecting information to influence Congressional appropriations for the police force. There has always been a suspicion that Arnold and other officers, received in- structions from the Chief of Police or through him from the cominissioners themselves. The idea prevails in Washington that at the bot- tom of the whole affair there was an auda- cious scheme of blackmail, and it begins to appear now, whetber Arnold gets what he is Seeking or not, that the facts are bound to come out. The whole story would be un- Pleasant 1 for some prominent Con- ssional families, and the Congressmen ncerned would doubtiess doall they could to hold Arnold, in order to keep his mouth shut. With the commissioners pulling apart mere is danger of an explosion. Harrison’s Letter to Sexton. WAsttIxnotor, D.

A Equeeze in July Corn Run by Orthwein Eros. A squeeze in corn devoloped in the local market to-day, though there have been fears feit for several days past that a corner“ was brewing. When Wm. Orthwein of Orthwein Bros. began bidding for spot No.2corn on to-day’s cash call and finally rushed the price up to 36½ , the fear becameacertainty and the shorts began to look grave and feel nervous. Floor talk had it that Orthwein Bros. were the longs and 8. W. Cobb & Co. the princival shortin July corn, and thatthe actual shortage was about two hundred thou- sand bushels. The stock of No. 2 corn here is only 47,725 bushels, and receipts have been running small for some time. Charies F. Orthwein in speaking of the deal said: ‘‘There is owing to our firm 160,000 bu that has not been delivered yet. We want the corn as we have it sold for export, but though we have been trying all the month to get corn enough to fill our sales abroad and though we bid the price of cash up, we have not been able to get it. S. W. Cobb, when told that bis firm was sup- posed to be the chief short, smiled as he re- marked: We do not owe more than 25,000 or 80,000 bu, as we have July corn coming to us andowing. We are really in the gap. It is understood several country houses— commission firms—are short most of this corn To-morrow is the last day of the month and the deal willthen culminate. Still higher prices are probable, unless the shorts step up 5 2 Orthwein’s desk and settle before e ca * A NICE QUESTION. The Queer Defense of a Man Who Sold Whisky Without a License. Willlam D. Smith of Salem, Dent County, Mo., had a hearing before Commissioner Craw- ford this morning. He is charged with retail- Ing liquor without paying the special tax. He made a statement of his caee, and his defense is apt to raise a nice question of fact. He de- nied that he was guilty of retailing liquor without a license, and said that he and a dozen or fifteen young men in the neighborhood wanted some whisky and agreed to buy a 10-gallon keg and pay for it in proportion to the amounteach used. He had more money than any of themand consented to advance the amount needed for the purchase of the whisky. He bought a ten-gallon keg and kept possession of it, giving to those who were in the agreement whatever they might want and they paid him as they received the liquor. Smith was arrested for not having paid his State tax, tried in the State Circuit Court and given a jail sentence, which he served. When he was released from jail he was ar- rested for not having paid the United States tax and brought here for his examination. His bail was fixed at $250, but as he could secure no bondsmen he was sent to jail to an- — at the November term of the District ourt. DELIGHTFUL WEATHER. St. Louis Will Enjwy It for a. Day or Two Longer. The Signal Service promises a continuation of good weather, though the thermometer may rise a little during the next twenty-four hours. Sergt.

The high barom.- eter of the West has moved over this way and brought cool weather with it, and I think that it will continue for a day or two atleast. The following statement of the condition of the weather was prepared for the Post-Dis- PATCH by Sergt. Hammon: The area of high barometer is now central in Kansas and Nebraska, The temperature has fallen considerably throughout the Mis- sissippi Valley andthe Lake Region, and has remained nearly stationary in other sections.

New York stands ready to contribute from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 to be expended in a wagnificent building and other necessaries for the Exposition, while Washington, repre- sented by the National Board of Promotion, has been engaged in the business for some three years past. Until within a short time Louis has been comparatively in- lost time, and the Governor WILL CALL A MEETING up for on Change shortly to decide upon a plan of action. 4 That the extent and importance of the en- terprise is thoroughly understood and appre- ciated throughout the United States is shown by the fact that during the three years which it hus been under consideration it has been indorsed by the Governors of forty States and Territories, the Mayors and municipal assemblies of fifty-nine cities, 176 izations and representatives of American nations. have appointed standing committees to attend to the preparations and arrangements for their representation in the big fair. Next October the Three Americas’ Commer- cial Congress representing nineteen nations onthis continent, will meet at the national capital and the project will degiu to assume definite form. The State and Municipal Gov- ernments of the United States will take an ac- tive part through their Executive heads and the various commercial bodies through prop- erly sccredited delegates. It is in this Con- gress that St. Louis be especially strong and every will be made to give the city the prominence to which its location, un- equaled transportation facilities and hotel ac- coinmodations entitie it. The superior natur- al aud artificial ADVANTAGES OF sr. LOUIS have too often been demonstrated of late in the entertainment of some of the conventions und industrial exhibitions which the country bas ever seen to need repetition. Few are the prominent meu in the United States who have not en- joyed St. Louis hospitality at some of these numerous successful gatherings. To them it can do. They have been here and know and the gentlemen having the management ofthe affair in hand count on the city’s reputation in this respect as almost invaiuable in their work. Probably the most prominent feature of the World's Fair, and one which seems to have escaped the attention of persons who are taking an active interest in it, is set forth in the following preamble to a series of resolu- tions indorsing the Fair, adopted by the Na- — of Trade at Washington as early as 1887: ‘‘Whereas, It is proposed to hold in 1892 a world’s exposition in honor of the 400th an- niversary of the discovery of America by Columbus, which exposition of antiquities, bistory, arts and industries of the three Amer- icas is intended to be permanent. Resolved, That we favor this movement toward more intimate commercial and social relations between the United States and sev- eral sister nations of the three Americas. WHILE THE EXPOSITION AND FAIE proper is expected to extend over a period of six months, yet, as will be seen from the above, there is to be a ‘‘permanent’’ exposition feature to it which adds considerably to its importance and offers another inducement to St. Louisans to work for it. Frank Gaiennie, in calling attention to this part of the foregoing resolution, suggested that the local Exposition buliding afforded ample facilities for such an ex- hibition. He was of the opinion that space could be set apartfor it without in the leust inconveniencing the management, and be- lieved that in after years such an exhibit would unquestionably prove an attraction to the regular local exposition. Mr. Gatennie stated that he had not given the subject much thought and merely offered it as a suggestion to be acted on later. GEORGE H. MORGAN, Secretary of the Merchants’ Exchange, stated that he understood that the Governor would take the first steps in the organizution of a committee to take charge of the movement to bring the World’s Fair here and expected a meeting would be called within a few days to take coucerted action in the matter. The Governor was on ’Change this morning, and spoke enthusiastically of St. Louis’ chances, but stated toa POST-DISPATCH re- porter that nothing definite had been decided upon yet. Allofthe most influential men on Change are heartily in favor or the move- ment and will make a determined effort to push it to asuccessful issue. — —— — — HUMAN BONES. Workmen Excavating on the Site of an Old Cemetery Dig Them Up. While workmen were engaged about 10 o’clock yesterday morning diguing a hole at the northeast corner of Wash street und El- liot avenue for an electric wire pole they struck some hard substance which proved on examination to be human bones; a couple of ribs, some sbin-bones and other bones were dug up when a depth of about eight feet was reached. Mr. Toomey, who keeps a grocery on the corner where the digging was done, is an old resident of the city and explained to the work- men that there had formerly been a burial ground there. A crowd of boys gathered around and took off the bones, which were very old, to play with. No report of tue mat ter was made to the police. ears ago there were three cemeteries adjoining each other in that section of the city. One was a Roman CAthol.c, another a Methodist and the third a Presbyterian burial ground. They extended from about Twenty-third street to the Sheri- day House and from Franklin avenue to Stoddard street. In 1859 or thereabouts they were dug up and the Catholics buried the bones from their cemetery under the site of St. Bridget's Church, Jefferson avenue and Curr street, and the bones from the other cemeteries were also buried elswhere. Many of the bodies must have been left there, how ever, as when workmen were excavating along Wash street for the conduits for the t.

Lovingstone of San Francisco, en route home after a trip Europe, left the Union Depot this morn for the Pacific slope. While in Europe Mr. Lovingstone pur · ased a Russ of breed which he is bring! home With bin ata an the rolling stock will Involve an expenditure of 8.000, 000. ‘The cars will belong éntirely to the freizht equipment. A portion of them will be gondolas or coal cars and the rest will be the ordinary box freight cars of the Pennsylvania standard. It has not been positively decided yet what distribution will be made ofthem, but itis thought that 2,000 of them will be used on the lines west of Pittsburg, and the remainder on the lines east of that point. Money to pay for them will be raised by an issue of a new car trust loan of $3,000,000. An official of the company stated that none of the money raised by the recent allotmentof stock to be expended upon improvements, would be encroached upon. The additional roliing stock has been made necessary by the rapid increase of the company’s traffic. The shops at Altoona are very busy with all the work they can turn out. This made it necessary to place the contract with outside firms. Atchison’s Complaint, By Telegraph to the Post-DIspaTcn. ATCHISON, Kan., July 80.—B. P. Waggener, Mayor of the city, has refused to sign a com- piaint to the State Railroad Commissioner, perferred by order of the City Council against | the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific Railroads, charuing rate discrimina- tions against Atchison. The complaint is based upon the inequalities of the loc I rates and the through rates. Mayor Wa gener gives his reabons for withholding his signature. lie says the city has no just ground of complaint and that it would be impolitic to take up the grievance of individual shippers, who have their remedies in the courts or before the Board of Railroad Commissioners. As the petition does not charge that the local rates are unreasonabie, the board could not con- sider the complaint, as the law only gives the board the power to make reasonable charges. — ä [:— — A New Indiana Line.

During the fracas one of the men fired a revolver twice iu the airforthe purpose either of scaring the menor to attract the attention of the po- lice. The shots, however, had the effect of stopping the row, but failed to bring the police. The car kept upalively gait until the terminus of the road was reached, when the men got out.

AMONG THE BROKERS. PINE GROVE HAMMERED DOWN, BUT IT SPEEDILY REACTS. West Granite Attracts Attention—The Pians for Reorganization ns Stated at Phillips- burg—Subscriptions forthe Gas Bends— An Old Deal to Come Up as a Sensation— The Regular Daily Transactions. There was some excitement on the Mining Exchange to-day, but the trading was small. It was principally due to a break in Pine Grove, but also largely to the fact that there was a desire to break the market generally, evidently given to fill orders at limits below the market. Pine Grove, Frisco. Yuma, West Granite and several others showed signs of these, while Tourtelotte received but little at - tention compared to what it nas had. Invest- ment securities were in good demand, East St. Louis bonds particularly. * , _ * The feature of the day was Pine Grove It had been generally whispered around that it bad been marked for the slaughter pen, and it was expected that its friends would be given an opportunity to show their hands and support it. The first sale on call, however, was 500 shares, by Ed Rawlins, at 40 cents. This, however, was the only sale on call, and the appearance of Rewlins asa seller gave encouragement to the breakers to go abead with their work. He, however, had simply sold on an orcer, and after that was very quiet. The first sale after call, however, was at 88%, and the stock sold down from tbat to 30. Then it came up itmmediately to 32, and remained quiet until just about the close, when the crowd developed as buyers, and sales were made at 37iec and 88890, andthe former was bid on all sides, while but 100 shares were offered at 38%c. The break to 30c was credited to Lee Gold- man, but for the day it was very slight, though the market was in the handsof ont- siders, and its friends took no part in either bearing or bulling the stock. The work at the mine is reported to bo gp sheen ing satisfactorily, and the first mill report will be in soon. Until that is in, the heavy insiders propose to stand where they are, and remain out of the market either as duyers or sellers. The transactions were 1,900 shares. * * . West Granite received considerable atten- tion, but mostly from buyers, and the market closed at 87% bid, 88% asked. On cali 100 shares sold at 86% and 700 at 87%, while later the sales amounted to but 100 shares at 87. The market was one for 100-share lots only, and the offerings seem to be largely for the purpose of holding the mur - ket and buying in floating stock at these prices. The holders of large blocks are out of the market altogether apparently, and a bidder for 3,000 to 5,000 would probably have to go 10 to 15 cents above the market to finda seller. Small lots to the amount of several thousand shares could finda number of pur- chasers around 85, as there is now a great deal of confidence in the future of the property. es The market on Yuma holds up very well at 8144 and 322, and thore is a great deal of at- tention paid to it. On call the sales were 200 shares at 31% and 200 at 30, und after call 100 shares sold at 31%, the bidding and selling prices remaining at 31% and 324%. Just what the feeliug of confidence is based on cannot be learned. There seems to be no doubt that the mines show large and permanent quantities of ore, and that the ore runs high, but there is good min- ing authority which says that the company will never be able to secure water supply sufficient to run the smelter. The supply now is 14,000 to 15,000 vallons, but it is claimed that only the most careful manage- ment will keep the smelter going on less than 20,000 gailons. This, howevcr, does not seem to be taken into consideration or to cause any uneasiness, as it is claimed that if necessary water can be brought from Date Creek, about sixteen miles. The smelter, it is said, will be blown in about August 15. Tourtelotte was traded in to the extent of 8,300 shares at 15, and was talked in 1,000 share slugs and bid 14% and offered at 15. From ap- pearances large amounts of the stock could have been purchased at 15 to 16%. The street, however, is not yet settled as to what the deal is made. The insiders claim that but 18,000 shares of stock are out, and that the sales have been made by Blessing in shorting the market. This, how- ever, is regarded asridiculous. In the first place there are a great many more than 18,000 that a broker of Mr. Blessing’s standing would short the market to the extent of 20,000 shares of the stock of a company which has only 100,000 shares. The insiders also say that a great many of the trans- actions have been of the class of match trad- ing, that is, trading with an understanding, but this is more unreasonable than the other reports, as the offers were made as openly as the bids, and the market was free to anybody to buy in. Match trading could scarcely have been worked under such circumstances. Buyers and sellers of Philips would evi- dently like to understand each other better. There seems to be stock onthe market, and the holders appear to want to keep the mar- ket at least atthe $1 mark. This morning at the start $1.50 was asked. From that it was offered down to $1.25. The bidding had in the meantime reached Fl, at which 500 shares were sold and the stock offered down to $1,024 at the close, with 97 bid. If any quantity of the stock could be reached by the crowd outside of the representatives of the insiders there is but little doubt that it would be broken down to probably 50 cents a share. The stock, however, cannot be bad, asthe agreement between the stockholders, if itis not really a pool, is very close. — 10 a Golden Era came in for some trading to- day—considerabie interest’ was shown in it.

Should you desire to participate in this issue please advise us at once how many bonds you au- thorize us to sell at par, net to vou free of ull commissions, charges, etc. Kindly give this immediate attention. H. B. HOvtimns & Co.“ As has been reported in the Post- DISPATCH, heretofore, Hollins & Co. expected to have a large umount of these bonds to place on sub- ecription, but a great many more were taken in St. Louis than they had any idea of py the old stockholders who bad an option on them and the preferred stock. The clearings to-day were $2,536,454 and the balances at 447,143.

The troublé was between brokers, and on a joint account, in the set- tlement of which sales were reported at 40 to when it is alleged that they were in reality $1.40 to $1.50, The deal it is claimed led * to the one now being made, and which it is expected will result in working the property on a busigess basis, when it is thought it will prove tobe a profit- able property..The trouble seems to be that the broker who alleges that he was manipulated out of profits made in manipulating the mar- ket is now being frozen out entirely. If this is completed he threatens to air the matter fully and take it into court. The Cascade had urgent buyers to-day, but so far as could be learned there were no trans- actions. The stock was held stiffly at $1.25, while bids advanced to $1.07% early, and were facreased later. There was a good demand for East St. Louis funding 5 per cent bonds to-day, and the market advanced le, several small sales being made at 101% and interest. Some Jacksonville 4s, funding, were sold at 104 and interest. The East St. Louis bonds will, it is expected, advance steadily, and before long sell on the same basis as the Jacksonvilles. . M.I. hadin another very good report to- day. Thesuperintendent announces having struck a large body of smelting ore giving an average assay of totheton. The highest heretofore has been $240. He also reports having struck a considerable body of galena, which is also increasing in quantity and rich- ness.

Millions for Her Household—Detailed State- ment as to the Cost of Maintaining En- giand’s Royal Family During the Last Half Century — Besides Royal Grants Many Members of the Family Hold Lu- rative Offices Galore. London Correspondence of the Mali and Express. Her most gracious Majesty, Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India, has what the Irishmen term a ‘‘good job’’ and asa rule has very little to worry about. But just nowsheis in ratber an un- pleasant frame of mind. It isn’t about her royal son, the Prince of Wales, she is disturbed this time. As a matter of fact the little stout Prince is disturbed, too, and for the same reason that his worthy mother is put out. It is all over the projected marriage of the Prince of Wales’ son, Prinee George, to his cousin, Princess Victoria of Germany, and the coming marriage of the Prince of Wales’ daughter, Princess Louise, to that amiable gentieman Alexander William George Duff, Eari of Fife, who has just been created a Duke. 0 The Queen and her son are just about now taking up the opinion that the people of Great Britian and Ireland are, to say the least, stingy, and that they are unappre- ciative of the benefits that are conferred upon them by the fact that the present royal family consents to stay in Kagland and keep the empire from bursting up and going out of the business. So there isa big row down on the cards, and you may look for it some time in the near future. So far as the marriages of the Queen’s three grandchildren are concerned the English people are very little troubled about them. If they take place it will cost a lot of money and the great folks will have all the fun. If that was all, how- ever, there would be little to say. But that is not all, and that is where the rub comes. Queen Victoria now comes to the front as the grandmother of the interesting young people, and intimates that Parila- ment had better give over thinking of Ireland, or Egypt, or Samoa, or any other place, until it shall have done the handsome thing by voting to ‘Collars and Cuffs’’ an annuity of £30,000 per year to set up house- keeping with young Victoria and a big sum to Princess Louise that she may assist the Earl of Fife in keeping the wolf from the door after they are married. Itisa reasonable request from the Queen's standpoint. Gladstone has intimated that he is going to take a hand in the fight forthe purpose of showing up some of the shams attached to grants of money to royalty and to demand radical reforms. If he does this her Gracious Majesty may wish she had treated the greatest man in her em- pire with more civility in the past. Cun- ningham Graham, M. P., is still more radical, for he has announced that when the question of the royal grants comes up in the House he will propose that whatever grant is made shall be for the life of the Queen only, and that thereafter the empire shall be run as a republic, and on an economical! basis. Henry Labouchere is saying all sorts of terrible things, and other members are doing like- wise, while the ‘‘Financial Reform Associa- ation,’’ a big institution, is backing these men up. That ls Why the royal family is in a very bad humor just now. Meanwhile men of the Labouchere stamp are preparing high coluains of figures to show how much royalty has cost since the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne of England in 1837. The figures are mighty interesting, and I send a few of them just toshow you that Americans are not the only ones who have reason to think that economy on the part of their rulers is a pretty good thing in its way. In fact it would seem that if the people of the United States get mad sometimes because their Presidents cost them what they do they would be advocating open revolution if they were obliged to maintain the royal family of Great Britain and Ireland. Lord John Russell once declared that $200,- 000 per year would be good enough pay for the Queen, and there is a large and growing ele- ment here that is of the opinion that a ruler who cannot struggle along on a salary of $1,000,000 per yearis pretty hardto satisfy. But, as a matter of fact, Queen Victoria has a good deal more a year, nearly a million of dollars in fact, forthe annual grant to her gracious Majesty is noless than £385,000 per year. It muy be as wellto give the grant in classes as it is made, and to notice some of its peculiarities afterward. FIRST CLASS. Her Majesty's privy purse.... ....... SEC ND CLASS.

Nor will they stop there, They will take up the cost of royaity and its relations from the beginning of Victoria’s reign, and fine read- ing their speeches will mage in the various English newspapers that circulate mainly among the workmen of the kingdom.

SKETCH OF A KANSAS CITY UNDER WOM- AN’S RULE, Some of the Women Vote for Men and Some Men Vote for Women—The Mayor in the Midst of Her Parlor Cleaning—How the New Regime Carries on Its Work—The Appearance of the Town Offleials. From the Boston Globe. Oskaloosa is a towu of but few more than 1,000 inhabitants in the earliest settled corner of Kansas. The first chapter in the battle history of the civil war was made in that region. There the North and South first grappled in their long and bloody fight. Itis a country which, with its rocks and brooks, ups and downs, looks very much like a good deal that the free State men from New England left behind them. They must have felt at home at once, and fought as men always fight who feel at home. Osksloosa wears the aira of age, and the mile and a half stage drive from the railroad station to the town is evidence that Oskaloosa was there before the railroad came, else they would be together. The town lacks the glare and rudeness that the Easterner generally finds in Kansas towns. It has a seasoned and stable look. There is no nervous stir about it, and people from towns in other parts of Kansas call it lazy and sleepy. The town is built around a good-looking court house in the center of a green square, The trees have been planted so long and are o numerous that they form a respectable forest. The gardens have an old smell that is sweet and peaceful. The place is as much of a stranger to dooms as if it slumbered in an out-of-the-way valley up in Franklin County. Yet Oskaloosa is the first municipality in America and probably the first in the world to give its government over entirely to women. In Kansas both sexes are allowed to vote in town and city elections and to hold local oftices. This sume measure is rejected by the General Court of Massachusetts every year. Some time it may have better luck. Hence we oug bt to feel a peculiar interest in the experl- ment which Oskaloosa is making. Oskaloosa isacity. Any community in Kan- sas witn 500 people or more may have acity government. While I was out in Kansas not long ago 1 visited Oskaloosa. Until my stage driver had brought me tothe Court- house square where the little stores are, he was the only man 1 saw in Oskaloosa. We met women on the streets and saw them in their gardens, but it happened that we did not come in sight of a man until we arrived inthe Court-house square. I began to ſeel a PITY FOR THE MEN, and when I saw them lounging silently about the square I still wondered if they did not feel like apologizing for drawing their breath. It is no fancy of mine that they looked meek and hushed. bad expected to see them restiess and contemptuous under the politica] domina- tion of women. But I was disappointed. A good many of them told me the town was disgracing itself, that the women had not had time to fit themselves to run the Government alone, and that it would never happen again. But there was no radical talk about taking the ballotaway from them. Idid not hear a man hint such a thought or hope. Woman suffrage in municipal elections is accepted as thorongh- ly in Oskaloosa as manhood suffarge is in New York. It is astonishing to flud that nobody there sees anything humorous in the situation. The new departure is no longer a laughing matter with the townspeople. Their solemn earnest- ness is the funniest element in the whole affair. These city mothers, in their pri- vate characters, are treated with gal- lant deference, but in their official characters they do not get off but a very little more easily than city fathers generally do. However, when an aggrieved citizen of Oskaloosa wishes to go the full length of denunciation and imputation he finds it convenient asa rule to apply himself to an energetic apothe- cary, locally derided as Boss Beasley, and who ls commonly accused of misleading the women of the city government. When a citi- zen is content mildly to disapprove of any measure taken by the Mayor and aldermen, he pityingly says that the ladies mean well but don’t know. If, however, he wishes to go more deeply into the subject, be lights into Boss Beasley and gives him bail Columbia. The local editor is a woman’s man; that is what the opposition calls a supporter of the city government. This gentleman told me thatthe new administration was without a flaw. He said that the first suggestion of electing a woman's ticket was not seriously made. That was in the spring of 1887, and the ticket putup by a few women was defeated. The next year, however, the men said that they would NOT PLAY HOG, and so a small group of them made up aticket composed entirely of women. The candi- dates were all amiable and popular wives and mothers; there were no short hairs or corkscrew curls among them. But even then the proposition was not seriously taken, and it was in the spirit of a joke that the entire woman s ticket was elected. Mrs. Mary D. Lowman, the candidate for Mayor, received 116 votes, while the man who op. osed her received only 68. Then Oskaloosa eit funny. Within forty-eight hours the newspaper men swarmed the town, talked with the men and looked at the women and wrote up Oskaloosa by the column. This no- toriety was unexpected and astounding. The townspeople had regarded itasajoke among themselves and it fairly took their breath to look atthe Kansas City, Topeka, St. Louis and Chicago papers. Some ofthe women thus suddenly thrust into the bright sunlight of publicity actually cried over the descriptions that they read of their own faces and gowns. But they wiped away their tears and were swornin. By the time their year was ended they had long ceased to be a joke among their constituents, who had formed into stubborn factions in the discusslou of the merits of the new administration. The Aldermen had passed but a single ord- nance and had conducted themselves soberly and patiently. This one ordinance excluded from the town center the business of breeding horses, and immediately this subject mo the chief issue in municipal politics. Those who favored the old plan swore that the trade of the town would be ruined if this ordinance should be imforeed; but the ordinance was inforeed, and on the qnestion of its inforce- mentthe women were re-elected last spring. Tbe fight against them was earnest and warm, but the entire woman's ticket was successful Mayor Lowman receiving 197 votes to 129 that were coast for an - UNGALLANT. 2 belies the name of Nobie * e year . electh * voting ; — *. * 1 = 1— aa oP dozen left.

I have asked all these accusers why they did not prevent the cheating. ‘*What!’’ they would exclaim. ‘‘Challenge a woman’s vote? I guess not! why, I'd be run out of town.’’ Picturing themselves in this state of help- lessness they would tell me of this Instance and that instance where some girl, sister or cousin or mother, visiting for a few weeks from a distant town or State, was marched up to the polis by her hostess, who acted as if she thought the suffrage had been extended to every woman under her roof without any re- striction or condition. This is truly the most serious talk that I heard against allowing women to vote. Most of the men said that it was an incurable evil. Very oftenin the Oskaloosa election hus- bands and wives came together and voted the same ticket, but there was a number of in- stances wherein the two heads of families stood apart; always without any unhappy effect on their domestic relations. I heard of Wives ‘who voted the men’s ticket, while their husbands supported the women candidates. The sexunl line was not drawn, for it is estimated that in spite of the success of the women’s ticket half the women who voted threw their ballots for the men. Social jealousy and a notion that the women in office were foolishly making talk about themselves were the motives generally ascribed to such voters. I was taken to THE MAYOR’S OFFICE to see the interesting chief magistrate of this interesting little town. Mayor Lowman’s busband, I had been told, was a crippled sol- dier, who did a small real estate business, while his wife acted as an assistant to the register of deeds. Her husband was once the register, and it was during his term that she learned the work of the office. hen we visited the register’s office there no woman to be seen, but a man with a pleasant, intelligentface, and only one arm, was seated at a desk writing in a big eis the Mayor here?“ 1 he answered, she's at home to- I’m her husband and am doing her work; canI do = pores for you?’’ Itold him that would like very much to meet the Mmyor berself before I left town, whereupon he kindly directed me to her home. This ie a pretty little cottage on the edge ofthe town. There is a well-tended garden behind it and in front is a clean, flowered lawn. As I rang the bell thé report of carpet-beat- ing cawe from the ell ofthe house. After a minute a woman of medium height, 50 years ofage, slightly silver hair, and with a face lighted by native intelligence, sharpened by an honest keenness and gently lined by earnest- ness and decision, opened the door and bade me good morning. ‘‘Tasked ifthe Mayor was at home aud the answer was, ‘lam she. After the introduction had been made mutuall was welcomed intoa homelike sit- ting-room, with its flower pots, sewing machine and work basket. lou must excuse my appearance, the Mayor said, slowly and precisely in a warm, natural tone. She was born in Pennsylva- nia, andis, though two centuries removed from Scotland, very Scottish still. Manifestly the fundamental trait in her is that sort of calm patience that is succeeded in due time by a persistence equally calm. There was little to excuss3 in HER APPEARANCE, for she looked as well as a housewife could who had come, as she explained, immedi- ately from her ‘‘parlor cleaning.’’ Mrs. Lowman said that she had never taken any part in politics until the mayoralty was thrust upon her, although she had always fol- lowed the political discussions in the news- papers. The only atteniion that she had ever given local political affairs was to feel sorry that Oskaloosa was so carelessly governed in regard to streets and sidewalks and nuisances. There bad not been any liquor selling that she knew of since the State adopted prohibition. When she was elected Mayor she regarded it in the light of ＋ duty to assume the responsibility and do the best she could. She had never thought of woman suffrage until her official life began, and she did not know of a woman suffragist in Oskaloosa be- fore that time. Now, however, she and the Aldermen and a good many others of both sexes were convinced that if the suffrage were extended to women in the broader politics of the State and nation not asa privilege, but as a duty, it would not be long until her sisters accepted it and contributed to the affairs of Government the benefit of their love of peace and morality. The Mayor confessed that she and her sisters in the city government had not found them- solves able to do all that ought to be done, but she felt thatno money had been wasted, and that the town was better off. The taxes were less than $00a year, she could not re- member exactly the sum; but there were no debts. But Mrs. Lowman thought that an Itmport- ant improvement which had been effected was the doing away with wrangling, and the prevalence in city affairs of more general harmony than Oskaloosa had been used to en- joy. There were some differences,ofcourse,but the Aldermen had been unanimous in eyery vote save one. No frivolous and meddlesome actions had been taken, and she was sorry to see the newspapers printing such fibs as that in which it was said that, for the protection of red-headed women, white horses had been banished fiom the streets of Oskaloosa, and another in which it was seserted thet the men — % been forbidden to spit upon the side- walks. Speaking of the sessions of the Board of Aldermen, over which she presided, THE MAYOR SAID that the old custom had been to address the chair as Mr. President, but now the alder- men simply said, Your Honor. Mrs. Low- man believed that so little ing to interest them in the of the town the women would become some- what indifferent, and in another year the men would again the government. She would not be sorry, for there was no reason why the women should always be in power; they had already done enough to prove that — — be trusted whenever a change was nee .

In fact he has been all the time such a robust, able-bodied man that he bas made a fortune since the war, besides being one of the most vigorous and active leaders of his party in Nebraska and ris- ing to the position of United States Sen- ator. Yet without any surgical examina- tion or report of his case since 1877, he has now been rated as a totafly disabled man since 1866 and entitled to $4,000 of back pay and $30 a month henceforth.

The laugh is on New York, Chicago and Washington. Those cities are engaged in a noisy fight over the location of the World’s Fair of 1892. New York is already torn up over the division of the spoils and honors, and Chicago and Washington are constructing huge blocks of reasons why they should secure the proposed Expo- sition. Meanwhile St. Louis grips the handle of the question and is having a quiet chuckle at the expense of the others. The choice of location is in expressive American a bird’s nest five years old. It was settled in 1884, when the American Agricultural Congress assembled at New Orleans unanimously passed a resolution designating St. Louis as the proper place to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by COLUMBUS. That congress was a thoroughly repre- sentative body composed of ten delegates from every State and Territory in the Union. Its resolution was published by nearly all the newspapers in the country and was generally indorsed. If St. Louis had not been selected long ago as the lovation, she would rank as the best place as much on account of the fatal objections to other places as because of the excellent reasons in her favor. New York is too big for such an enter- prise. The citizens would take no interest in it, and the contractors and jobbers would take too much interest in it. There is an objectionable feeling in New York that allthe rest of the country is a back yard tothe New York mansion. There is also animpression abroad of ineffable disgust over the bickerings of New York- ‘ers and the shabby treatment of others in the Washington Centennial Exposition. The country at large does not want New York selected. ; Chicago is out of the question. It is too far removed by water and laad from Cen- traland South America. It has a mon- strous, overpowering odor and an un- broken record of failure in exposition en- terprises. Washington is only a huge lodging place for public servants and we should not in- vite our foreign guests into the rear of the house. Besides, Washington would not contribute a cent to the project. On the other hand, St. Louis has an un- broken record of brilliant success in simi- lar events. She has the only successful permanent Exposition and the greatest Fair in the world. She has a direct water route to the Gulf, close connection by rail with Mexico and ample hotel accommoda- tions. St. Louis is the place for it. Con- gress has only to ratify the expressed wish of the people’s representatives and pass the proper appropriation. . ——— WRONGING THE SOLDIER. There are living and laboring to-day at least 500,000 Union veterans who were never wounded or pensioned, who are still earning asupport for their families with- out a dollar of Government aid, but never in their lives received in one year for their able-bodied services as much as one-half of Senator MANDERSON’s salary, and never had a total wealth equal toa fourth of the income from the fortune Senator MANDERSON has earned since the war, Yet, after he has earned that fortune, and while he is drawing $5,000 a year and mileage as a Senator, it is suddenly dis- covered by the Commissioner of Pensions, four surgical examination reports to the contrary notwithstanding, that Senator MANDERSON has beeu totally disabled from earning a living ever since Sep- tember, 1864, and is entitled to 4,000 of back pay and $30 a month in addition to the $5,000 a yeur he earns as Senator. The administration of our present pen- sion laws has provided liberally for a large amount of wealthy pauperism of the Man- derson kind, while the country is full of soldiers, old and poor, and fast breaking down from toil, but legally entitled to nu pension and unable to procure any help from the Government unless they resort to fraud and perjury to get it. Liberal provision for the soldier who is poor and disabled by age, infirmity or wounds, has the unanimous approval of our people. But a discrimination which leaves a multitude of such soldiers un- cared for, while it liberally pensions rich men already drawing large Government salaries, is not popular, because it is neither just nor politic. — m0 WHEN an American woman cannot catch a Tory noble and has to put up with some rich English Radical, she soon man- ages to make peace between him and the Queen, and to bring about a social entente cordiale between her husband and the nobility. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN’s fierce denunciation of his former Radical associates for wanting to put some reason- able limitto grants of public money to the Queen's descendants is a case in point. The novelty of his attitude seemed to muddle his brain a little. He told 2 1 „„ tics” and ented but a small minor- ity of the people. And then in the next breath he told them that it was shameful to truckle to royalty, but more shameful to truckle to the multitude. Mr. Cnau- HERLAIN seems to have his eye on a coro- net for his American wife. nnn WHERE Republicanism is self-sustain- ing and enjoys an invincible monopoly of all the State and county offices it has no right to complain of a Republican admin- istration for giving the Federal offices and spoils to doubtful or contested States. It would be the height of political stupidity to waste commissary stores on a State like Kansas, sure to give a Republican ma- jority of 80,000 on any issue and under all circumstances. Such steady loyalty to a party should not be insulted and discred- ited with rewards. So long as it is the chief delight and ruling passion of Kan- sas to keep on putting down JEFF Davis’ rebellion and stabbing its dead Hotspurs, the live rebels of the Mahone type in Vir- ginia will haveno difficulty in crowding Kansas away from the Republican pro- vision train. nnn Ll - ——, n.. Contradiction. From Senator Ingalls’ Forum Article. Since the adoption of the amendment, four general elections have been held, and at each of themthe people have repeated their au- hesion to the principle by the election of Leg- islatures pledged to prohibition. The result is generally accepted as an accomplished fact. Hostility has practically been subdued. Pro- hibition prohibits. From Atchison Globe’s Re tween Gov. Humphrey an Blair. Mr. Blair said there was no doubt that six or seven out of ten inhabitants of Atchison were against prohibition. It was the policy of himself and asso- clates to go after the whisky traffic by slow degrees. Atchison was an anti-pro- hibition city and be did not think it wise to tear the town to pieces by extreme meas- ures. It was the policy of the board to fre- quently fine joint keepers who were able to pay, doubling the fine upon every offense. He hoped thus by degrees to discourage the trafic and at the same time preserve the peace. Gov. Humphrey agreed with him. He quoted from Chancellor Kent that laws should be made for men as they are and not as they ought to be, and to a certain extent laws ought to be enforced on the same principle. Thus the people would finally be educated to a strict enforcement. The Governor thought if the commissioners approximated enforce- ment to a certain degree they would be doing very well under the circumstances. rt ot Conference Be- Police Commissioner What Protection Has Done for New England. From the Boston Herald. Since 1879 there have died outofthe rolling mills in Maine 50 per cent, of those in Ver- mont 100 per cent, of those in Massachusetts 86 per cent, of those in Connecticut 20 per cent of those in Rhode Island 50 per cent; or to give the same fact in a another form, in 1880 New England foundries produced 170,877 tons of rolled iron and steel; in 1887 they pro- duced 102,711 tons. Nor is this shrinkage con- finea to rolling mill product only. The heavy millwrighting business hardly exists in New England; tne old miliwrights are dying out. Theiron and steel architectural beams, columns, roofing, gas pipes, water pipes and sewer pipes used here are made in Pennsyl- vania. Allofthe large iron work which New England requires is manufactured in Penn syivania workhops. Ke Suits the Hub. From the Boston Herald. The member of the present administration who seems to have covered himself with the most glory up to date is Gen. Noble, Secretary of the Interior. Uptothe 4th of March tne country had not heard much of Gen. Noble, but it has heard much from him lately. It is probably owing more to Gen. Noble than to anybody else that the wings of Corporal Tan- ner have been clipped, and that bumptious bird compelled to roost lower. Gen. Noble Was a brave soldier, and is an honest man, He will see toit that the rights of both the veterans and the people are cared for in the Pension Office, which comes under his de- partment. Good for Gen. Noble! A Wise Governer. From the St. Joe Gazette. Gov. Humphrey of Kansas is a philosopher as well as a statesman, that's plain. He says the Atchison Board of Police Commissioners are satisfactory and are doing their duty, and declines to listen to complaints that they are aliowing the liquor dealers of Atchison to violate the prohibitorv law. That's rignt, Governor, let them alone. The City of Atchi- son is getting acool $1,000a month from the dives, just as was the case when the saloons were licensed. It is betterso. The Gazeite is an advocate of regulating the traffic and not allowing it torun wild as it basin Atchison for two or three years.

If Held on a Brvad-Gauge Basis the At- tendance and Outcome Will Be a Series ef Surprises—The Effect of Free Coinage ~How the Farmers Are Afiected—The English Control. 1 AM delighted that the Post - DisPaTCH ; has taken up the sub- ject of holding acon- vention of the silver mining interests in St. Louis this fall,’’ said Mr. J. M. 8. Egan of Coloradot this morning. But,“ he added, it should not be allowed to be- come a convention of local interests, bu, Z2y should be ona broad- eue basis, and Peshould recognize very industry at- fected by the silver- mining laws.“ Mr. Egan is one of the most prominent sil- ver mining men in the country, and hasa very extensive acquaintance among mine operators in Colorado and Montana, particu- larly. He is also prominent in other circles, and in Colorado has been on the State tickets for both Lieutenant-Governor and Presiden- tlal Elector. In mining matters his influence is almost unlimited, and the movement to bring about an organization of the silver mining interests is very fortunate in having his assistance during the early stages of the agitation. What do you mean by the convention be- coming one of local interests?’’ Mr. Egan was asked by a PoOsST-DISPATCH reporter this morning. „% mean, he should be nothing local about it, that it should not be confined to the silver mining interest alone that it should be made national, and that it should be of such a representative character that it can take up tbe silver mining question in all its phases and as it affects the farmer, the mer- chant and the manufacturer and manufactur- ing classes. THE FARMER'S INTEREST, for instance, is very great, though it may not be generally recognized. The greatest boom the develoment of India has ever had was given when Sherman demonetized silver in 1873. From that were given the railroads, canals and irrigation systems which have made India 80 valuable to England, The disadvantage will continue as ,long as the Lombard street brokers and the English merchants can buy our silver ata depreciated price and appreciate it to its full value by coining into the Indian rupee, with which they purchase India’s wheat, corn and cotton. Just so long as this is possible our farmers have to compete with the world, with India as a formidable rival producer, but with a labor that is paid for at the rate of about? cents a day. You can see the strength of thie argument at a glance, and those interested specially are just beginning to recognize it in all ofits importance, So far, the question bas been and is a geographical one—the West and the South against the North and East, The West and South need more capital; they have to start from the grassroots. The Nortb and East start at the superstructure, The reason thatso many Eastern people are op- posed to silver is that they take their views from the tone of the bankers, and the American bankers are governed by the tone of Lombard and Threadneedle street brokers. England, in fact, governs our policy in this direction, our people forgetting that England is the great credit oountry ofthe world and that anything that enhances the value of gold enhances the value of her credits.’’ **Do you anticipate any LEGISLATION THIS WINTER that will place silver at a greater disadvantage than it is now?’’ „It is generally recognized that Congress will meet in Octover, and itis also generally believed thatthe opponents of silver will eu- deavor to pass laws which will be disastrous to silver mining. For this reason it is part ia ularly desirable that the mining interests or- gange and make a fight against it. Asin war- fare, the attack is preferable tothe defense, so the evils to be apprehended from an attack on silver, and consequentiy on mining, must be contested by an atteck on the single standard. This will not only result in our holding our own, but will cause the old men to retreat from the untenable position they now hold. But to do this we must disabuse the public of the idea that the convention issimply tor the benofit of one industry. The gold miners will also take marked interest in it, as will also the cop per miners, for the reason that in any big mine the proportion of silver is always * enough to make it a prominent feature in the cost of mining and treating. A person is lia ble to be surprised when he looks over the map of the United States and finds that Call- fornia, Nevada, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, South Dakota, Washington, Alaska, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah are all vitaily interested in such a con- vention as it is proposed to hold in St. Louis. Then there is mining tn the South, and the Western and Southern cotton and agri- cultural districts. The question bas been a hobby with the South tor years, you know, and, in fact, Lamar bas been the only Southerner who stood with the East. This is what makes the Posr-Disraren movement to hold a convention in St. Louis so strong. If it had not been for the West and South silver would have years ago been wiped off the face of the earth by the East. „What do you think of the CLAIMS OF OVERPRODUCTION as made by the silver opponents in con- nection with the silver market?’’ ‘*They are sheer nonsense, The present apparent depreciation of silver is not caused by lessening the value of silver, but by ap- preciating the value of gold consequent upon its scarcity. Why, in 1854, on account of the big gold discoveries reported, bills were in- troduced simultaneously in Congress and the House of Commons demonetizing gold. Little Holland went 80 far oy to actually demonetize gold. But of course, it was only ascare, and as it turned out, was laughable. This talk now about flooding the country with silver is just as ridiculous. Why, France, with not two- thirds of our 4 and one-eighteenth of our area, has $537,000,000 of standard silver coinage in circulation, heidon a parity with old. Let the ratio le with their gold 8 per ess than the ratio between our gold and sil- er. replied, „that there „Ot ali the questions before the publle now, or likely to come before the convention, what is the most important?’’ At the start it must be recognized that every other industry in the United States is protected, while silveris not 8 not pro- vected, but is subjected tos tax in the coinage rate. The amount we pay to Uncle Sam is enormous? WE WANT FREE COINAGE, that ie all we ask now, and jif we get it, silver will at once go to $1.15, instead of standing at Weents. We do not ask for unlimited coinage at all. Youcan see what a difference this,would make by takin the. product of the Granite r 8 take 1 0 Paddy omy at $300,000 a month, a ncrease them lu the proportion of 92 to 115, and u will see what it means. but even that won't show the loss to the Granite Mountain by the dépreciati the price of silver, as fee sams propers: must be calculat on t port of t |} ments * idea of u. and as it unfolds as the ‘value, bu investors in which have been what mining 18, and who know good and Investments, and who are carefal in any operations they =e undertake, For this reason, if the convention is placed on a proper basis your people will be astonished.’’ ‘*Whatdo you think the c of the attendance would be?’’ ‘*‘Undoubtedly, if itis on the proper basis, of good, solid representative and intelligent miuing men, and of men who are already prominent in the discussion of matters con- nected with our interest. They will not hesi- tate to come, but will be glad of the oppor- tunity. Our Colorado Senators and Repre- sentatives and Jones and Stewart of Nevada would, I am satisfied, be present. Outside of the prodtcing States, I am also satisfied that if the proper invitations were extended to them we could have Senator Beck of Ken- tucky, Mills and Reagan of Texas and Wurner and Bland of Missouri. They should all be particularly invited.“ : What do you think of the ~ PERMANENCY OF THE MOVEMENT, as it would be affected by such a convention as is suggested?“ ‘‘I think Col. Wernse’s views on that sub- ject are very sensible. I do not have much faith in resolutions alone. We want to send committees to Washington and we also want to appoint committees and effect a permanent organization with headquarters in St. Louis, and from which point begin the work of edu- cating the people in the meritsof the silver question and the importance of the industry in its bearing on others. We want permanent offices and officers here, and we want reguiar funds for the purpose of printing pampbiets, gathering statistics, and in every Way acquainting the people with the different phases of the’ matter. The bankers have molded public opinion in the East, and what we want to do now isto mold it inthe sections of the country most seriously dam- axed by the partial paralyzing of the silver industry. Of all classes the poor men are now the ones most seriously affected. Col. Henry Wernse and other directors of the Mining Exchange will have a conference with Mr. Egan to-day to decide on the pre- liminary steps to be taken. A PARSON ON BOARD. The Rough Voyage of the Maine Line Steamer Winthrop. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPaTCn. NEW YORK, July 80.—The steamer Winthrop of the Maine Steamship Line reached her pier on East River early yesterday morning with her smoke stack hanging over the side alter an extremely rough voyage. The sky was threatening in Portian¢ on Saturday morning, and at noon a steady rain set in. There Were many white capsin the harbor, and the pros pect of a pleasant trip to New York was not encouraging. Nevertheless, about forty pas- engers had boarded the Winthrop when at 6 p. m. she cast off ber lines and headed for Cape Elizabeth and the open sea, Before she had been in motion fifteen minutes she began to, pitch vigorously. The gong sounded for supper, but few passengers responded to its invitation. Every moment the water grew rougher and the lament of the fresh water voyagers became more plaintive as they sighed for the express train that might have been. Soon tue steamer rounded the cape and shaped her course for Cape Cod. There was every indication that a violent storm was raging further out at sea. The waves that struck the Winthrop in the fast faillng dark- ness were angry enough to satisfy the expec- tations of the few passengers still ‘‘on deck. Most of these, however, had turned in by a little after 9 o clock to enjoy in their berths the long side rolls, winding up with a grand combination roll and pitch, succeeded by comparative steadiness for an instant. Suddenly, almost at thestroke of 10 o' clock, a short blast of the whistle was sounded, followed dy acrasb, and then came the sound of hissing steam. In an instant the state-room doors flew open and picturesque forms in all degrees of undress stepped forth into the cabin, struggling to withstand the lurching of the ship and gaspiug with white faces atthe clouds of steam which poured from everypecrack in the compartment that closed the escape pipe. The steam was promptly turned off and the alarm of the passengers QUICKLY SUBSIDED. One woman became bysterical, and, ex- claiming that her hour had come, threw her arms around the neck of a young man from Jersey and entreated him to save her; and three or four of the other passengers camped in the cabin for the rest of the night, but there was no rush for life-preservers, and the Pessengers soon locked their doors and lay down to troubled dreams. Not half the pas- sengera, however, knew what had happened or realized the serious poasibilities of the ac- cident. When Capt. Bragg heard the whistie and the crash, he thought one of the ropes that hold the gaff had given way and had hit the whistie cord, and that the gaff bad also blown down. He looked out and saw that the gat was ln its place, how- ever. He looked again and discovered, to his dismay, thet the smoke stack was not to be seen. Hastily summoning all hands to the hurricane deck, he rushed out of the pilot- house, The smoke stack, which is feet bigh and nearly 6 feetin inner diameter, had fallep on the starboard side, ita end projecting five or six feet over the side of the ship. With the stack went the whistie, and the steam es- cape pipe, both of which were wrenched off at the level of the hurricane deck; and the length of escape-pipe extending from the upper deck to the floor of the saloon deck had been dis- placed, causing steam to escape into the cabin. The great stack, weixhing over two tons, was hanging by a weak strip of iron and with every roll of the ship the Captain ex- — ey to see it pitched vverboard, but all ands worked desperately and soon bad it securely lashed. Nothing more could be done until morning. The stack had been securad by six wire stay ropes, the fron rings in three or four of which had parted, whetherjtogether or one after another can’t be known. The great cylinder had been rolled out ofits place, le it had stood many a fierce winter gale OWN THE HARSH MAINE coast. Luckily no fog came on andthe loss ot the Whistle was not severely feit, The parting of the stack e ose tothe deck, of course, dimin- ished the draft and the steam pressure had to be reduced from 135 to 90 pounds, causinu a loss of three knots an hour in speed. In the morning Chief Engineer Hinckley unscrewed the undamaged whistle from the stack and with much difficulty and ingenuity succeeded in baildinga connection for it down to the engine room. The skilfully tmprovised Whistle proved its value on Sunday night when the Winthrop ran into a dense fog in the sound. All along the route on Sunday the disabled steamer was saluted by sympathetic sisters and every vessel ieveled its class upon her. She made ten knots an hour after the accident, and tied up at her pier at 3 a. m. 23 The smoke- stack, which was badly strained, was unshipped at the pier W iland and will be received in time to allow the Wintbrop to start for Portiand at her regular time to-morrow afternoon. It was pretty good fortune that no one was hurt, for if the edge of the stack bad struck the deck it must 9 have crushed through it and bave injured the sleeping passengers in the state-rooms directly beneath it. Ove of the ship's company had a presenti- ment ot the accident beiore the steamer left Portland. One of the 28 was an eld- erly clergyman from Bath, and, as be came aboard, this sallor said to the mate: ‘‘Some- thing is going to happen to us this trip. There ig aparson. The slan never falls.

CHAIRMAN BARRETT OF THE CONGEES SIONAL COMMITTEE EXPLAINS The Committee Will Not Meet Until u, Calls it Together, and He Won't Call 4 Meeting Until He has Real Business on Hand— How Committeeman Burke Fooled His Friend—Secret Charges. HE report tnat the north end politicians were discussing a Dian to install Chris Von der Ahe at the head of the Eighth District Congressional! Committee, v ice Chairman Barrett, brought the }gentieman to the tront. That won't work sald Chairman Barrett, for two very good reasons. Rule: ofthe Congressional Com mittee provides that the Chairman only is empowered to call meetings ofthe Commit. tee. The last time the committee metit ad- journed subject to the call ofthe chair and! can tell you now that the next meeeting of that com mittee will not de held for several months, and that the business of the comm. tee when it dees meet will be to fix a time for the convention to nominate a candidate for Congress in the Eighth District. make Mr. Von der Abe Chairman will not work It is because he is not a member of the committee and there is no probability of his becoming a member. If Committeeman Bonn should resign the committee will select the new representative for the Ward, anil don’t know that Mr. Von der Abe has any stronger call ou the committee than several other active Democrats of the Ward. In this connection I want to deny a charge that has been repeatedly made avainst me. Thatis, that Isold out Mr. Geo. W. Allen in the Fourteenth Ward last March. That charge is not true. I was a member of the Allen Executive Committee and was for him ali the time. The fact that he did not cet the vote of the delegation in the convention was a surprise to me. It was agreed between meand Central Committeeman Burke thatto avoid any trouble, opposing delegatlons should not be run, but that in the convention Allen should get five and Noonan four votes; I supposed that this agreement would be lived up to. Wm. Cul- linane was elected Chairman of the delegation. He was an ardent Noonan map from the start, and when asked how the ward would vote he said he would cast the vote of the delegation solid for Noonan. This he aid, to my surprise. I bad relied on the agreement I bad male with old political friends, and did not sell out Mr. Alien’s interests in the ward. Ibere was every reason why I should be loyal to Mr. Allen. He was supported by my beat political friends, and I want it distinctly understood that] lived up to my Dargains. At the time this occurred I was Clerk of the House of Delegates. It was near the close of the session, and in order to close up the busi- ness it was necessary to hold m:etinus every night. This prevented me from attending the ward caucuses, otherwise I might have been better posted on the true situation of affairs in the ward. I think I recognize the source of these stories concerning my deposition. They come from a prospuctive candidate, but with very littie reason us have not piedged my- self to any candidate and propose to give them all a fair deal. Tocarry out this promise will be some- what difficuit, as there will be considerable contention in the district. Five candidates for the Congressional nom- ination bave already been mentioned. These are ex-Congressman John J. O’Nell, John I. Martin, who is said to have the support of Mayor Noonan; Wm. C. Jones, ex- Judge of the Criminal Court; K. F. Stone of the House of Delegutes, E. J. White of tae law firm of Marshall & White, and State Senator Daniel Kerwin. Mr. W. ©. Marshall was ore ot Mayor Noonan’schampions during the laßt campaign, advocating his candidacy when he wae almost deserted, Shouid Mr. White xo into the canvas under Mr. Marshall’s guid- ance Mayor Noonan will probably hold hands off as he will be unwilling to discrin- inate between friends. The Charges Are Secret. Circuit Clerk Phil H. Zepp, who has been indicted by the Federal Grand-juty on 4 charge of having assisted persons not enti- tled to naturalization papers, had a some- what unusual experience at the District At- torney’s office. ‘On learning that I was indicted,’’ sald he, I went up to the Gov- ernment Building to give bond, I could not think of any possible foundation for such a charge and asked to see the inviictment. I was showd an indictment, and after reading it asked a question in answer to which I was in- formed that there were two other indictments against me for fraudulent naturalizations. I confess 1 was considerably surprised. I asked to see the cuarges und permission was refused. JI asked the District Attorney if I could not see the charges which stood against me and wes told that I could not. I asked why not and was told it was because I was arrested on the otber indictment and not on the two which they reiused to allow me to see. I don’t understand the purpose nor dol appreciate the justice of such a decision, I certainly haven't been engaging in any wholesale naturalization frauds and am not risking wy reputation and liberty to play such pranks in two or three cases. A Little Premature. The gossip concerniug the Senatorial fight of next vear has started reports concerning the next Governor. It is certainiy rather early, but seven candidates are already on the list, which includes State Treasurer Ed T. Noland, state Auditor James M. Seibert, ex- Congressman Martin L.

Capt. Grissom Tells Why the Children Are Now Given a trip Up Instead of Down the River—One of the Managers Talks About the Objects of the Mission and How They Are Understood, INCE the cool weather Mission has taken fewer cnailidren than usual on its excur- sions. For several weeks, every Tuesday morning bas been so pleasant that the peo- ple who usually take advantage of the op- portunity to get out of crowded, heated quar- ters and enjoy the breeze that is always blowing over the river have not felt the necessity for leaving their homes, and the crowd that attended has therefore been smaller than last sum- mer, or in previous years. This morning about twelve hundred mothers and children were on board, and the managers held the boat back half an hour to increase the numbers and give the late com- ers a chance. The Grand Republic,which took the excursion out,could have held many more if they would have come, but the managers of tne mission say that although the excursions have been given for ten years it is difficult to getthe poor people to understand what a benefitthey are. Said one of them: When we first started the excursions thecity was divided up Into districts, and the ladies went through them and visited personally the poor people that they found. At first a queer no- tion seem to take hold of them. They thought that we intended to get their children and keep them in some asyium or institution and vince them that we had no such intention. Now, they come freely when the weuather is very warm, but we have not vet been able to make them appreciate how much more bene- ft they will receive from a pleasant trip on a cool day than whenitishot. ifthe people for thom the mission was established and is supported could only be made to appreciate how much benefit they could receive from at- tending regularly the weather would not make any difference. They seem to think that the excursions simply furnish thein an opportunity to cool olf when it is hot; but they are intended to promote the heaith of the poor children and they can receive a greater benefit in cool weather than wnen it is warm. A good many have learned this, and it is gradually becom- ing known among all the poor, but it is slow work, it seetus, teaching them what the pur- pose and object of the excursions is.“ If the poorer Classes do not learn it will not be the fault of the ladies, for they are inde- fatizable workers and they do not rest satis- fied with conducting the excursions once a week, but on every other day they visit and ministertothe poor and sick and encourage them to attend the excursions. The old dis- trict lines are still puraned,and every now and henatripis made through the districts, just as they were made ten years ago, when the mission cameJinto existence. ‘‘Which way will you go to-day?’’ Capt. Grissom) was asked, *‘up or down the river?’’ Up. Wehave chanved our route entirely. Weused to go to Montesano always, and it was a nice trip for the littie ones, but we found more attractions for them above than below. They bave two hours in the woods at VW ilson’s Grove and then we tuke them sight- seeing. Wepuss the mouth of the Missouri, and you would be astonished to know how much interest the youngsters manifest when they see that big river. They would like to have the boat stopped there all the afternoon, | think, and wateh the waters rushing | together, but we take them on up to Alton and givethem a view of the city and tne biuffs, and iu coming back we pass the junction of the tworivers again. I think they enjoy the up-river trip more than they do the other, because tbey have just as muco fun, and then they enjoy sights which they could notsee if we went the other way, There is only one objection to it, and that is that we have to passthe establishment of one of our city officials. The odor is terrible. Aside from the excursions the principal subject of interest among the workers in the Fresh Air Mission is the fat men’s base ball game next Saturday. They are enthusiastic over it, and all of the managers who were on the boat this morning said they wouldn’t miss it for anything. Said one of them: We are going to take our Fresh Air Mission flag out there and huve it swung from the highest pole. Notone of us ever saw a gume of base ball until we saw the game last year, and we wouldn't miss it for anything in the world. I don't think lever saw a fuonier sixht in all my llie than those stout gentie- men running and trying to catch the ball. I didn’t know anything about the game of course, but it was such a funny sight that I laughed until! I was almost sick. No, indeed we shall not miss that game. I think we will have to arrange to have all the managers go out together so that we can, in something like an official way, recognize the kindness of the gentlemen who play and who help us so much, both in making the mission known and in a financial way.’’ The ladies of the mission are very grateful to J. H. Crane & Co., Burrell, Comstock & Co. and the Scarritt Furniture Co. for cots do- nated to Thomas Morrison forthe benefit of the mission. — ICE PITCHERS, quadruple silver plated, $5 and upwards; splendid values at MERMOD A JACCARD’S, BROADWAY AND LOCUST STREET.

A bill has just been passed by the Municipal Assewbly and has been signed by the Mayor which will give a large percentage of the men on the Fire Department an increase in pay, which they have been long trying to obtain. The ordinance provides thatthe increases in the salaries of the men shall de made on July 1, 1689, butowing tothe delay in the passage of the ordinanee it was impossible to pay the mon the increase at that time.

The Forty-Eight Hours’ Cruise of the York- town. New YORK, July 80.—The United States Cruiser Yorktown, Commander French E. Chadwick in command, returned to the Brook · lyn navy yard yesterday from her forty-eight hours’ cruise at sea for battery trial. The re- sult of the test was eminently satisfactory. No damage was caused by the heavy firing ex- cept on glass in the cabin and in the after fire room hatch. Not a bolt started, not even a seum in the deck opened, and the crockery stored below never suffered a single crack. No trial of the engines was made. The whole test was confined to the batteries. On Saturday forenoon the York. town left the Brooklyn yard, steamed down the Kast River and a little later anchored off Bedloe’s Island. The weather was foxgy and thick, but not caring to wait longer, Com- mander Chadwick got his vessel under way in the afternoon and ran down through the Nar- rows tothe lower harbor. Here the deviation of the compass was accurately noted, the cruiser being swung for this purpose. At 2:55 P. m., Saturday, the Yorktown was on ber way tosea. As she cleared the bar, a course southeast one-eighth south was steered from Sandy Hook lightsnip to a distance of about seventy miles. Ihe whole of Saturday after- noon was so thick and foggy that no attempt was made to fire and, night coming on, the Yorktown was headed in closer to shore to a position distant about thirty wiles off the coast. Here the cruiser lay all of Saturday nieht and all of the following Sunday and Sunday night. Monday morning came in bright and clear, and as 9o’ciock approached all preparation was made to oto quarters. Attwo belisthe drum sounded the cali and the crews rapidly fell in at the batteries, while the powder division stationed along decks and at the shell-hoists was ready to pass the ammunition. No attempt was made tohurry the fire, and all guns were supplied without the siightest rush or confusion. The supply was effected in all cases with perfect ease. The carriages worked perfectly, not the slightest bitch being experienced from them in any particular. Throughout the whole of the test a stiff breeze was blowing from south-by-west, the Yorktown submitting to her test while lying in avery trough of the sen. The swell was so heavy that the cruiser frequently rolled to an angle of twenty , degrees, but her movement w it was the longest time before we could con- | ~ m as always off his feet. During the greater part of the trial the engines of the Yorktown remained easy withoutany tendency to throw a person stationary, but the last four shots were fired while the cruiser was moving slowly abead. Heavy seas broke at times against the vessel during the fire, but throughout it all the Yorktown doggedly clung to her reputation of being a steady and easy moving vessel. —— „HE BRIGANDS” AT SCHNAIDER’S. A Pretty Opera Handsomely Produced Other Summer Attractions. The production of Offenbech’s ‘‘Brigands’’ drew a large audience to Schnaider’s last evening. The opera was given a handsome production by the management, and the company pre- sented parts of it in a very creditable manner for a first performance, although there were weak spots. The music is very melodious, with that catchy, bright, lively quality which marks the work ofthis composer. Manyofthe cho- ruses particularly were very pretty and tune- ful, but itis lacking in solo passages of striking character, The first act is by far the strongest of the three in musicand action and it was wellgiven. The second act contains some pretty music and action which will be far wore, amusing, doubtless, when the company are more familiar with it. Thethird act was givenin a slovenly, unsatisfactory manner. Ihe audience received the best parts of the opera with warm approval, and there Is little doubtthat it will come into strong favor. There is opportunity to strengthen the pers formance which the company is entirely capa- ble of utilizing. The principals, in so far as they were not hampered by unfamiliarity with their lines and business, did clever work. Ida Muelle as Fiorella, and Alice Gaillard as Frageoletto were prominent with good roles and with bright, excellent work. Miss Muelle made a dainty and graceful daughter of a brigand. and the male role of Flageoletto was handled by Miss Gaillard with fine spirit and dash. Francis Gaillard appeared as the Brigand Chief with his usual vim and excellence; Jas. W. Herbert made considerable fun out of lim- ited opportunities as Pietro; Stanley Felch as the Baron, and Jos. Greensfelder as the Cap- tain worked in neat bits of broad burlesque, while Fred Urban, Ada Somers, Harry Kat- tenbury, John McWade, Wallace McUreary and other members of the cast were satisfac- tory. One of the special features of the peaform- ance was some nimbie high kicking by Flor ence Brandon, who gave a solo dance. Miss Brandon is not very graceful and is not versed in the subtieties of abandon, but she gave an odd and agile dance which was demanded three times by the audience. She did not kick the curls out of her bang nor make the bangs of the front row curl, but she managed to get a pair of well-filled black hose and a mass of fiviug lingerie tangled in an interesting way across the horizon of the footlights. Jas. Herbert sang a neat topical song in the last act which was well received. The Carleton Opera Co. is giving“ Dorothy“ in splendid form atthe Cave. The perform- ance is smooth, spirited and excellent, and the wems of the charming opera are demanded again and again by theaudiences. The enter- tainment now Is altogether pleasing. Work is progressing rapidly on the Siege of Sebastopol,’’ and Mr. Fred Peale, who is looking after the interests of the Messrs. Pain, promises a brilliant inauguration of the great spectacie on Thursday evening. BILLINGS-KINGSLEY MURDER CASE, Billings Makes a Complaint Against Attor, ney Monaghan and Disappears. GARY. Dak., July 30.—Last Wednesday M. E. Billings of the famous Billings and Kingsley murder case of Waverly, Io., had District At- torney Monaghan arrested, charged with appropriating $27u of his money, but when the time came for trial it was discovered that the complaining witness bad fled. Monaghan then swore out a warrant against Billings charging him with perjury by making the complaint. The Sheriff arrested Billings on board a train at Clear Lake, a town fourteen miles from here, and brought him back, and after hearing partof the testimony the justice adjourned the case untli9o’clock next morning. That night Billings eluded the Sheriff and again A led out. Everv effort is being made to find im, butto no avail. He was seen Friday night walking toward the creek, and as he had been acting very strangely the past few days it was thought by some be had committed sul. cide and the creek and woods surrounding it were accordingly searched. It is more prob- able that some one assisted him over the State line into Minnesota. — | WHAT NEXI? English Capitaliste Turning Their Attention to the Theatrical Business. By Telegraph to the POst-DIsPaTcn. New Tonk, July 30.—Having gobbled up all the brewery stock they want, the English cap- italiets have now turned their eyes in the di- rection of the theatrical business as a field for investing their loose capital.

A Curious Call at an Early Merning Hour by a Mysterious Younc Man, and the Tragic Sequel—His Brother Unabie to Throw Any Light on the Matier—The Inquest. HILIP WOODSON JONES took an early plunge into the Natato- rium at Nineteenth and Pine streets this morn- ing and met his death in four feet of water. On several occasions during the past ten days the young man has called at the sv imming school with the request that he be permitted to go into the water early in the morning before the usual hour for the opening of the doors tothe general public. He also asked as a special favor that he be allowed to swim without donning bathing trunks such as are provided each customer at the school, Prof. Ulark refused to grant his re- guests. This morning, itseems, Jones made his sppearance at 5:40 o’clock. He was ad- mitted, and he was soon in the pool, leaving his clothing in dressing-room No. 4. Turee attendants, George W. Alexander, Paddy Golden and Henry Schroeder, were in the building at that time, but paid but little atten- tion to Jones, busying themselves about their work of scrubbing and cleaning the rooms and closets. Jones seemed to be at home in the water, and fer several min- utes swam from one end of the pool to the other, diving and plunging with the greatest of temerity. Suddenly the attend- ants noticed thatthe splashings had ceased. Jones was not to be seen and they became alarmed. While one of the men searched the dressing rooms the other two sprang into the water and commenced a systematic search of the bottom. Assoon asthe alarm was given Prof. Clark removed the plug from the tank and the water rushed out. It was several minutes before the body was discovered. Con- trhrv to all expectations the unfortunate man had met his death in shallow water, the gauge showing a depth of but 4 feet at the point where the remains rested. Measures tending toward resuscitation were at once used, but to noavail. The police were ut once notified of the accident and the body was soon atthe Morgue. The deceased was at that time unknown. He had not given his name to Prof. Clark and was not recognized as one of the Natatorium’s regular customers. At the Morgue the clotnes addressed to Mr. . Joues, 26u8. Olive street, St. Louis, Mo., ufforded the only clue to his identity. About 9o’clocka. m. Mr. 8. L. Jones called at the Morgue aud identified the body as that of his brother, PHILIP WOODSON JONES, 22 years of age. At the inquest be said: **T live at 2603 Olive street. My brother, the deceased, has roomed with me. He isa sales- man in the employ of the Missouri Glass Co., and as his office hours are much earlier than mine I have never paid any attention to the time he leaves the house in the morning. Lately he has been taking long walks and drives before sun-up and said it wus doing him good. Il awoke at 45:45 o’clock this morning and saw that he was gone. Ithen went to sleep again and thought no more about him. He was in fair circumstances and bad had no troubie which would cause him to commit suicide. Lam confident that he never contempiated self- destruction.’’ The deceased bad been in the employ of the Missouri Glass Co. for a little more than a yearand had given almost perfect satisfac- tion. His brother, Mr. I. L. Jones, is em- ployed inthe Aiechanics’ Bank. Both came to this city from Danville, Va., to which city the body will be shipped for interment. PROF. WILLIAM CLARKE, who owns the Natatorium, said this morning: „The young fellow called at the ‘Nat’ yester- day evening about8o’clock. He had a com- panion or two with him, but they said nothing. He wanted to know when he could get into the water when there would be nobody else in the pool. I told him that he had a good chance just then, as there were very few people around. He eaid that would not suit bim. He desired to get in bright and early in the morning, and he asked at what time he would find ne open. 1 told him we would be ready for business at5:30a. m., and he left. He came back this morning about the hour mentioned. My wite, who gets up earlier than 1 do, sold himaticket. He was the first caller. When he was offered a towel and swimming breeches he said he did not want them. One of the attendants told him he would not be allowed in the water naked, and he was compelied to put on a pairof trunks. The attendants were abu ut scrubbing the floor and getting ready for the days work. They pee little attention to the man uptil some- ody noticed that he could not be seen any- where. Then they gave the alarm. I was called out of bed, and rushed down and iet the water aut. Seven of us were in the pool in a minute hunting for him, with poles, etc. After some time, we found bim in about four feet of water. It seemed to me that he went in there and held his bead dern. We have handled 130,000 people since I have been there and never had «a death before. CONFIDENT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. Mr. Jones’ nearest relatives and most inti- mate associates unite in stating that there is no justification for the insinuation that the young Man committed suicide. He had been employed for eighteen months at the Missouri! Glases Co., where he gave such satisfaction that he bad been repeatediy promoted. Re- cently he had been promoted and was ties“ much elated over his success. @ was in good health and of a cheerful disposition. He had no reason whatever to complain of his lot. Last uight just before retiring he called to a young friend asking him if be would accompany him this morning before Vreakfast. Ihe young man replied that be thought he would sleep in the morning. Pieasantiy chiding Bim as not knowing what sport was, the young man retired deciding evidently to go by himself. lle could not swim very well and his desire to go to the Natatorium when there were few people about is accounted for satisiactorily to his friends by a conversation the young man bad with his brother, i _— Se Jones, who advised him not to go bathing with a crowd of romping boys, but to waituntil there were few inthe tank. The young man’s relatives and friends who were associated with him daily pronounce the in sinuation of suicide absolutely without reason. COTTAGES BURNED.

THE PUSSY BARBER, His Place in Ancient History as Capper, Leecher and Dentist, From Medical Science. The barber is a classic institution. He traces his calling to the most ancient times. He 16 referred to by the prophet Ezekiel: ‘‘And thou, son of man, take thee a barber’s razor, and cause it to pase upon thine head and upon thy beard.’’ Distinguished persons have been connected with this craft, such as Zisibius, the great mechanic, who firat applied alr as a motive power, and in- vented a water clock and a hydraulic organ, some 200 years ago. The father of Richard Arkwright, Lord Tenterden ad Lord St. Leonard used razore to guin a living. In former times barbers performed some of the duties of surgeons, a custom that seems to have prevailed in all countries. They were cuppers, leechers, phlebotomists (biood- letters) and crude dentists. To thie day, on the bai ber’s pole, there are stripes that repre- sent a twisted ribbon, which symbolizes tne ribbon which the barber of ye olden time wound around the arw of the victim pre- vious to biood letting. In London, Edinburgh and elsewhere barbers formed corporations with certain privileges that are now enjoyed by surgeons. infact, the barber, if not the father of lies, isthe father ot a good many things. He is the alpha, or beginning, of the modern dentist, and also of our modern saw- bones. (ompare the brilliant and steady- nerved surgeon uf to-day with the barber sur- geon of the past, and you will, no doubt, be quite ready to admit tat in this line ‘‘e¥ola- tion’’ bas put in some of its finest work. The ancient barber furnished an excellent substitute for the modern newspaper. He was, indeed, a waikine gazetteer or period.cal, „t which the last number was alwaye recent and ready spread for perusal—an ever busy re- orter, who guiltless of shorthand. notes or etter press, contented himself with tnose simpler media of receiving and conveying in- formation—the tonuae, eyes and ears. The shop of the higher class of these tradesmen forined an apolozy for the modern elub- room; and that ofthe humbier of his craft for the tavern or beer- house. Ihe ancient Sicilians paid considerable at- tention to dress and the cosmetic arts, and among them the trade of a ‘‘barber’’ became a distinct occupation and one of considerable importance. The first ‘‘barbers’’ were brought from **Sicily to Rome by one ‘licinius Mena, B. vu. 808. In the course of a few yeurs they bud 80 inultipiied that the city was full of them. Their shope (tonstriu) soon became the common resort of loungers and idlers of every description. There the gossiping and inquisi- tive portion of the community sought for tash- lonable newsand information respecting at- fairs of State; there the reports of the night’s broil and the last intrigue found ready tongues to disseminate them, wih all their attendant selunders, tothe r motest corner of the city; there the affluent and the indolent consumed their time in courtly chit-chat, and there, too, the less opulent and the in- dustrial classes met for recreation and dis- cussed current politics when the hours of toil and business were over. Even the poorer citizens, according to Horace, svuught refuge from theirennail by making a round of the barbers’ shops: Mutat cenacula, lectos, Baluea tonsores The attention of the Roman barber was first and principally directed to the hair, in which department of the toilet he ts» said to huve ex- c lied to a degree that might justiy excite the envy of the modern ‘‘aritiste’’ in his line. After the hair the beard received the immedi- ate exercise of his skill, and bere he was equaliy at home, shaving it or trimming it with greut expertness aud taste He next operated on the bands and trimmed and pol- ished the nails, at the same time removing any callosities that uad formed on the paims or joints. Tbe man whose balr was dressed or cut un- tastefuily subjected himself to general re- mark, and his unfortunate valet became the object of opprobrium wherever he was al- luded to. A ‘‘bungling barber’’ could scarce- ly piy his trade with profit inthe Roman capi- tal ot in any of the larger provincial towns, und would have been continually subjected to personal insult, if uot actual chastisement from tis customers. So mucb for the barber of classic history and the barber of literature. Nuw for the man of to-day and bis razor. The edze of the razor consists of a great number of minute points, commonly called teeth, which, if the rag reis in itself good and in goud condition, follow each other through its whole exient with great order and clear- ness, and constitute by their unbtoken regt- larity ite exclusive keenness. The edge acts on the beard not so much by the direct appli- cation of welght or force as being drawn even slightiy along it, because by this operation the fine teeth of which it eonsists pass in quick succession in the same part of the sub- stance. The best razors will have teeth on their edges set almost as regularly as a good suw, and the best test in trying a razor is to examine the edge by meaus of a strong magni- fying giuss. Tbis almost explains the good effect onthe razor caused by dipping it in hot water, which necessarily clears the edge of any smull clogging substances. We close this articie with some hints on the art of shaving and the care of the razor, which will be of value and interest. Barbers often assert that ‘‘razors get tired’’ of shaving, and thut they will perform satis- factorily if permitted to rest for a time. It will) be found by microscopic examination that the tired razor, trom long stropping by the same hand and in the same direction, has the ultimate fibers of its euriace or edge all arrunyved in one direction, like the edge of a piece of cut velvet; but after a month's rest these fibers reurrange themselves, hetero- geneously, er ssing each other and present- ing a suw like edge (as described), each fiber supporting its fellow, and bence cutting the besrd instead of being — down flat with- ut cutting, as Whe n la 7. l Never fal to wash woll your beard with soab and cold water, and to rab it dry immediately before you apply the I«ther, of which the more you use and the thicker tt isthe easier ou will shave. .

Death of the .Pamous raten Tree That . Hada Lived Perhaps 10,000 Years. With an antiquity rivaling, probably ex- ceeding, that of the pyramids of Egypt, and a reputation scarcely inferior, it is remarkable how littie noticé has been taken of the death of the colossal dragoh tree of Orotava. This gigantic, hoary-headed vegetabie veteran died almost suddenly a few years ago, and may be ald, like the deacon’s old maste to Have zone to pieces all at once—all at once. and nothing firset—just as bubbles do when they burst. After a babyhood of centuries, de- cades of maturity, anda decadence of ages, it does seem pitiable that the departure of thig Wonder of the world should have evoked little or no comment. In accordance with the hew theory that plants feel and havea here- after, it may be that the old dragon tree is receiving e:sewhere its m of praise and re- ward for a long and respected life Tho ealled a tree, in truth the ren wued curiosity of Orotava Was nothing of the sort. It was a kind of giguntic bloated asparagas, and a near biood relation to the frag le, dei“ cate lilles ot our gardens. But even Solomon at his least glorious epoch would never have been jealous of this phenomenon, for the dra- gon tree is at every period of ite strange growth a monstrous, uncouth thing, a e evil- sugeresting, out-of-all-time creature, it com- panion of ungainly pterodactyis and gigantie saurians, with some of which the ancient specimen of Orotava May have been person- ally acquainted in Its younger days. With ite jood-ved sap exuding treely, though with curdling slown@ss,at every Wound, its strange crown of stiff, strong, sword like leaves at the end of every octopus like arm, and its sale - clad trunk, it is not difficult to trace the origin of ite name, The tree which bears the golden apples is indigenous to the Canaries, and little fancy was required with an imaginative pe pie to tarn th ¢ mon- estrous Vegetable growth into the guardian dragon. Did not it bleed thick red biood, did it not bristie with swords, and was not its abode on those Isiesof the Blest far beyond the gates of Gades, in the veritable Garden of the Hesperides? The ancients always spoke of one dragon guarding the golden truit be cause the monster of Or: tava was even then removed from all ite comfades in size, bulk and ghastliness. The old Guanches venerated the monster, though they were brou.ht up under its shadow and must have been weil accustomed to its peculiarities. They regard- ed it as possessed of animal life, and dei fied it, in its hollow trunk periorming Druidical rites, and they used its bilood- ved sap (the Dragon’s biood of commerce) for embalming their dead. When Alonzu de Lugo, the conqueror of Teneriffe, came to Orotava in 1493, he «pared the tree, but scan- dalized at the profane mysteries which had taken place in its interior, he converted ite belicwness inte a chapel for holy mess. Humboldt, in 1799, gives ita height as ap. pouring about flity or sixty feet, and ites circumference near the routes as forty-five feet, and the diameter of the trunk atten fect fou the ground is ill twelve English feet, and he computes ite age at 10,000 years. The opening was so large tiata tabie was placed in it, round which fourte od persons could seat themselves, und a staircase in the interior conducted the vis.tor up to the height whence the branches sprang. Slow indeed must have been its growth, for 400 yeurs utter the visit of the Orgt navigators Le Dra measured the tree most carefully, proving that during the long period the in- crense had only been one foot at the base, the other dimensions being practically identical. Sinoe Huraboldt’s account, the famous dragon tree of Orotava was visited by nearly all the travelers, historians, monks, peddlers and soldiers who had the mildest globe-trotting propensity. In 1819 an arm was wrenched off ina storm, and about some forty years ayo some unscrupulous personscat off a huge plece of the hollow tiunk and presented it to the Kew Museum. Another storm in 1867 broke off the upper part, leaving the trunk ulone staudinow. traveler ut that time says the ground underneath was covered with pleces of broken branches, some being eighteen feet in circumterence. Wien the lund where the tree was growing came into the possession of the late Marquis de! Sarz l he nursed the aged vegetable with lov- ing care, filled up the gap in its trunk with masonry and did all that was possibie to prolong its existence. Piazzi Smith, who saw it in 1856, measured the trunk, and found it 60 feet high above the ground anu 4812 feet in circumference at that levei and 24 fect in circumference ata height of 4% feet. lie says: ‘*Proudly it raises its antique arms above everything around. But how it is bampered! An indigenous wild laurel tree is absolutely in contact on one side, snd a Lombardy poplar is almost touching on the other, while there are such numerous peach tees, oleanders and oranges between nd all about that there is hardly a single point from which we can get a fair view. Ine old tree, moderately cred ited with 6,000 years of life, has gone the way of all trees, but most felicitously the Marquesa de! Sauzal has planted on ite exact elte a sevd- ling derived irom its most ancient progen- itor, and this youngster is now a healthy plant some four feet high, lookin. —in snuape only—exactly likea fine long carrot, lightiy stuck in the ground by its tuper end, and sur- mounted by acrown of sword-shaped leaves.

This baby dragon will probably not flower for twenty or thirty years yet, and it in only brauch after it has biossomed. In ua neighbor- ing garden there ia a dragon which bas not yet blossomed, and yet it is more than 40 years old. 0 In botanical language, the dragon tree is Drac@na draco, and is described as having a tree-like tem, which, when the tree is very old, becomes much branded, each branch being terminateu by ‘‘a crowded head of lanceolate linear entire leaves of a glauceus green color, which leaves embrace the ster by their base, and on falling off at maturity leave a ring- like cicatrix or scar. In old age curious warts appear, and one fromthe old Orotava tree bus been preserved, which le as larve as a good-sized cocvanut, being like that fruit in shape and its rough exterior. Tnough no particular care has hitherto been takes in the Canaries to rear there curious trees, there are astillatfew tair-sized specimens for visitors to see, one of the oldest extant being probably that at the gates of the cemetery aticod. It is mentioned in the ancient chronſele of the conquest of the Island of Teneriffe, and, standing in sclitary randeur, is the best specimen to study. There is one other good example at Icod de los Vinos, which maybe is even older.

By Telegraph to the Post-DIspatTcu. es New YORK, July 30.—The generally poor condition of the growing crops of apples and Deans in almost all parts ofthis State is caus- ing a great deal of concern to the farmers and merchantsin this city. The frosts that oo- _curred this year as late as May 27 almost de- 272 the young bean vines and many beds v to be replauted. Much of this second planting was again destroyed by heavy rains and bad again to be replanted. The result is tg tue harvest wil: be retarded. There is 0 r thut should frosts occur in October the crops will be greatly damaged. The apple trees did not bear such an abundance of fruit this year as they haye during the pasttwo. Last year was what wae known as an off year for apples, as the crop of 1887 had been a large one, but to the surprise of the farmers the crop of 1888 was stili more abundant. Prices ruled lower dur- ing the seasouand the winter - months than they have for u long time. The Youny fruit this year wos Kreutly injured by the same ‘frosts that burt the beans, and the trees showed less vigor to resist the cold snup.

A Victory Piaced to the Credit of the Browns Yesterday—Cincinnats and the League— Racing at Various Points—Bootj ack’s Strange Career—Base Ball and Sporting News of all Kinds. OR several days past Gen. W. B. Bate, United States Senator from Tennessee, has been in the city visit- ing his kinsman, Col. John O’Falion. The Senator is a typi- cai Southerner in ap- , pearance and possesses the love for the thor- | Oughbred race horse which is characteristic „ot the people of his ~ section of the country. This morning he sat in the rotunda of the Southern Hotel and discussed with Capt. Dan Ablethe relative merits of Spokane, the great Montana three-year-old, winner of the Keutucky and American Derbys and of the Clark stakes, and Proctor Knott who last season was accounted the best 2-year- old on the American turf. „It has become the fashion,’’ said the Sen- ator, to refer indiscriminately to all horses from Kentucky, Tennessee and the adjacent bluegrass country as ‘Kentucky’ bred ani- mals. Now, Kentucky has a number of great stud farms and turns ont some of the best racers in the world, but Tennessee is also entitled to no little distinction in that line. We have the blue-grass, the lime stone and all of the natural advantages and facilities for the breeding of fast horses which are pos- sessed by our sister State and we are nota whit behind her in that line of business. „Take that magnificent animal, Proctor Knott. I have heard it stated thathe wasa Kentucky bred horse, but I understand he is nothing of the sort. On the contrary, Proctor, although named after a Kentucky Governor, is a Tennessee animal.’’ How about Spokane?“ „Well, sir, do you prominence achieved by Spokane this season will probably make a great change ip the breeding methods of leading horsemen? I have just returned from an extended trip through California and the West. While out there I learned that Hearst—Senator Hearst—who is interested in horses, has about decided to give the moun- tain alr of the West a chance as against the blue grass of Tennessee and Kentucky in tho development ofthe thoroughbred. Spokane is, of course, a great success, but it remains to be demonstrated that his greatness is prim- arily due to the unusual development of lune power, the result of being brought upon the light air of the West. Montana, you knox, is a lime-stone country to some extent, and old horsemen. have always claimed that lime- stone water gives a horse big bone and powerful muscle, so that it is not im- probable that some of the natural advantages which have given world-wide reputation to Tennessee and Kentucky may have been at work in Montana in the case of Spokane. While in California I noticed that the extraordinary development in the size of vegetables and fruits was almost invariably, to may mind, a the expense of the qualitv of the article. 1 may be mistaken, but it strikes me that the large, fine-looking peaches of California, for instance, are not nearly so luscious as the Eastern variety. Such things attain to a Trat size and magnificent appearance in California, but do not increase in qual- ity in proportion. Now it occurs to methatif thisis true of fruits it might be equally true of the grass of that country and the thoroughbred would loose instead of ain by the change from Kentucky. ‘There its no use tatking, nothing on earth compares with blue grass for horses—particularly race horses, the Western breeders to the contrary notwith- standing.’’ know that the Bootjack’s Career. Bootjack has had a career unequaled by any other thoroughbred. He was one of the gamest horses that ever won a race. He has dete ated all the fastest horses on the turf and won a fortune for his owners. Bootjack was by Bonnie Scotland, daw Sparrowgrass. He was foaled in 1878, was first raced in Milton Young’s colors, but later on was purchased = | the Dwyer Brothers, and won large sums of money for them. He won 49 races before he was 6yearsold. They were worth $33,965, money won in bets was ten times that amount. the races that went to his credit were the Cash Handicap, Ohio Derby, Belle Meade, Burnett House, Great Awerican Stallion and Mapolia stakes, and among the horses that had to succumb to his speed were UObeckmate, Gen. Monroe, Ada Glenn, Girofia and Churcbill, all speedy ones. When be broke down, Brown Dick, the colored trainer, broke him to harness and used him to draw a bugky. Last year he trained him again, ana he started in a three-quarter mile dash race at Gravesend. He came in last, but receivea much more applause than the winner. Dick then sold him, and now be is being used as a saddie and driving horse by a Kentucky gen- tleman who admired the old fellow in bis palmiest days. Monmouth Park Kaces. MONMOUTH PARK, N.

It is quite among the probabilities, says Centaur, that steeplechasing will be revived at Monmouth Park. In fact, the committee is considering the advisability of doing so. Cer- cross-country races. There is something in thom which appeals to the eye, stirs the blood and fires the imuyination, which even the mostexciting flat race cannot produce. Steeplechasing men have only themselves to blame tnat races of this kind were taken off the programme two years ao, for the systematic, barefaced robberies grew to such an 6xtent that there was scarcely any possibility of correcting abuses, and hence the committee very wisely made away with them altogether. It they are put back again, owners, trainers and jockeys may rest asstred thatthe laws will be car- ried outin the most vigorous fashion. Why is it that at Cedarhurst steeplecbases and hurdle races are as truly run asthe big stake races on the flat. elsewhere? Simply because the men know that they cannot afford to take liberties. There is no reason why the same — of affairs cannot be brought about else- where. Gentlemen’s Driving Club.

The Browns played two games at Baltimore yesterday and the largest crowd which ever assembled in a ball park there was present to witness the contest. St. Louis won the first game by a score ot (tos and the second game resulted inadraw. It was called at the end of the seventh inning on account of darkness. In the third inning of the second game Umpire Goldsmith gave Kilroy, who had scored, out for cutting off third base. The crowd claimed he did not see the play and rushed in on the fleld to mob him. The police had to be called. Foreman and Quinn tor Baltimore and King and Boyle for st. Louis were the batteries inthe first game. Base hits—Baiti- more, 7; St. Louis, 6. Errors—Baltimore, 9; St. Louls, 2. Good luck alone saved the Browns from de- feat in the second game. In the seven innings layed they did not secure a bit off Kilroy, the Baltimore pitcher, while three were made off Stivetts, who pitched for the Browns. Two errors were also made by St. Louis, while the Baltimores had but one. Tate caught for Baltimore and Milligan for St. Louis. The Kansas City Club was defeated at Phila- delphia yesterday by a score of 8to6. Seward and Robinson for the Athletics and Conway and Hoover for Kunsas City were the batter- ies. Base hits—Athietics, 12; Kansas City, 13. Errors—Athbletics, 2; Kansas City, 5. LEAGUE GAMES.

Cincinnati and the League. If the signs of the times amount to anything at all, says the Cincinnati Wtmes-Star, they point toa burning desire for a city commonly called Cincinnati to occupy 8 League berth. The Cleveland Leader and Jierald remarks: It is not probable, however, that the Browns will ever come into the League, for reasons that are well known in official circles. That there will bea change in the League seems Very prob- able from rumors in circulation in the East. The change will probably be tbe resignation of Indianapolis and the entrance of either Brooklyn or Cincinnati. If Cincinnati shouid be the chosen elub the old feud between the Clevelands and the red-legged Porkopolitans would be Hkely to be revived with interest.

STANDING ROCK AGENCY, Dak., July 30.—Six thousand Indians were present, awaiting the signal of the Commission to open the council yesterday, and the numerous whites, who are anxious to have the reservation opened to set - tlement, were lobbying with the warriors, but apparently without effect. The commission met at II o’clock, at which time the Indians were askedif they had examined the treaty and were prepared to say anything on the subject. Jobn Grass, who has been selected by the Indians as spokesman, arose and said that they had compared the resent proposed treaty with that submitted ast year. As for himself, he could not see anything init that would in any way benefit bim, and be would not sign. He said that he understood the bill well enough to know that it was not what the Indiaus wanted, and de- clared that it was only those who knew nothing of its details who would sign it. There were many things that he was not leased with and concerning which he would ike to ask some questions. He wanted to know why it was that the Santees were not excluded from the benefits of this bill, He also wanted to know why the $25,000 expenses of the Commission should be taken from the proceeds of the sale of the lands, and whether or not the pro- visions of the treaties of 1868 and 1876 with ref- erence to the schooling of the Indian children were stillto be carried out. The queries of Grass stunned the commission for the mo- ment, but Maj. Warner made an effective speech in reply. He said that under the treat- les of 1868 the Santees originally had ashare in this reservation, common with all the tribes of the Sioux nation, but were afterwards re- moved to Nebraska. He toid them that the claim of the Santees was just and right, but was so small that it did noi deserve serious consideration at their hands. He also informed them that the expenses ofthe commission would not be taken from the proceeds of the sale of the landa and promised them that the provisions of the treaty of 1868 and 1876 were still to be carried out, regardiess of the present treaty, und further that their rations and clothing supply would be continued as now regardless of the treaty. The Indians are still suspicions. They are convinced that the whites are endeavoring to got the best of them and it will require many fine speeches and much artistic diplomacy on the part of the Commissioners to induce them to sign. Sitting Bull, Gail, John Grass and Mad Bear have held meet ings and have sworn eternal Op- position to the treaty, but it is hoped the ex- planations of the commissioners will remove their objections and bring them into line. The young Catholic Indians at yesterday’s coun- cil had nothing to say, and itis still believed that under their present understanding they willsign. Sitting Bull has already become disgusted with the conference and threatens to leave with his followers, un- less the interests of tribes are more satisYactorily represented in the discussion. Gen. Crook has been cau- tious thus far and is making a careful study of their characters and desires. Gall is also silent, and when Gen. Crook begius to speak he will find a brainy opponent in this un- wavering chief. Long Dog, Rain-in-the-Face and other chiefs, who were among the most bloodthirsty of the leaders during the Custer campaign, are also here and are unalterably opposed to the ceding of lands to the whites.

Banker Brown Throws a Little Light on His Movements. WICHITA, Kan., July 30.—E. T. Brown’s physicians yesterday allowed Sheriff Hayes to call on their patient fora statement. The Sheriff inquired if he disappeared of his own will, when the answercame quickly: ‘‘I did not leave of my own will. I must have been forced to go, but Icannot remember. I would like to go out with you as soon aslam able and take a few weeks to trace back where I have been. I think 1 may be abie to recall some places, and people will remember me, andinthat way we can get at some clew which will help solve the mystery. Ithink I have deen foully dealt with. The Sheriff said a ranchman, twenty miles southwest, who called on Brown yesterday, says Brown was at his house on the 15th inst. and asked for something to eat. He was given food and asked the way to Wichita. He tried to engage him in conversation but could not. He thought Brown was crazy. Word comes from Baluville, two miles south of this ranch, that Brown was there the l4th inst. and slept in a Wagon on the streetthat night. Brown’s physicians say it is barely possible that on im- proving he will be able to give a better idea of the matter. They have been led to suspect he has been kept under opiates for four or five months, and that, in addition to the wound on the head, has resulted in making him un conscious of what has happened around him.

American Capitalists Developing the Iron Mines in Cuba, Curcaco, III., July 30.—The man who de- veloped the rich Vermillion iron and copper mines of Minnesota, Capt. Elisha Norcom, of Tower City, that State, was atthe Tremont House yesterday, bronzed and burned by the hot Cuban sun. Capt. Norcom has been to Cuba, where he has been in the Interest of an American company thatisjust opening ex- tensive iron minesin the Cuban mountains. The company includes some of the Minnesota men who made the Vermillion district fam- ons, as wellas othersinthe East, and the Captain predicts operations in the foreign island of little less magnitude. The territory visited by Capt. Norcom is about twenty miles west of Santiago near the coast and in the Daiquira Mountains. He says: „This is the ore region and believe the eld is practically limitless. The territory — somes by my company will,when opened, e the second mine in operation in the coun- try. The other is worked by the Pennsylvania & Bessemer Steel Co. It was a question with us howto get the ore to the seaboard. It could oniy be by a railway to Santiago,twenty miles or by one directly to the coast, three andahalf miles. The latter meant the con- striction of a harbor and a breakwater, but we decided on it because, although it would cost more, it would be more economically maintained.
