Mr. Shaw to take a parting look at his re- mains. Visitors enter the north door of the museum and pass out at the south end. The mausoleum is ready to receive the body and the statue stands just behind it, but it will take some time after the funeral to place the statue in position on the sarcophagus. The following telegram was received to-day from the Governor: Chairman Committee of Arrangements for Shaw Funeral: Please express my sincere condolence to the relutives and devoted friends of Henry Shaw. In his taking off St. Louis loses a munificent benefactor, Missouri a. distinguished citizen. May the memory of his life full of good acts and noble sentiments incite his fellow men to higher aims and better deeds. D. R. FRANCIS. A request has been made of the merchants and business men of the city. They are called upon to manifest their respect for the dis- tinguished St. Louisan by closing their places of business on Ssturday, the dav of the fu- neral. Mayor Noonan has issued the follow- ing executive order: ‘*The faneral of Henry Shaw will take place at Christ Church Cathedral, Thirteenth and Locust streets, on Saturday, the 3lst inst., at 20’clock p. m. The city offiices will close at lo’clock on that day. The members of the city government will assembie in the hall of the House of Delegutes and proceed in a body to the church. The city of St. Louis desires to express its sorrow upon the death of this eminent citizen and benefactor. EDWARD A. NOONAN, „Mayor. Mr. J. E. Kaime of the firm of Kaime & Bro., has arrived in New York on bis way home. As soon as it was known that Mr. Shaw’s death was only a question of a few hours, Mr. Kaime, who had for so many years been his agent, was cabled the sad news and he at once started home. He arrived to-day on the City of Parisand telegraphed that he wouid be here for the funeral. He has been added to the committee, ; Since the shock which followed Nr. Shaw's death has passed away there hav® been nu- merous inquiries concerning his will. It has been presumed, of course, that he bas left the garden tothe public and made arrange- ments for its support. It is also thought that he has left some directions concerning its management, and said something in his will about Tower Grove Park. People have been very anxious to know what Mr. Snaw’s action in regard to those two impor- tant places is, but his will has not yet been made public; in fact, it has not been found. It is known that there is a will, and it is sup- posed to be in the Safe Deposit box, but no one has yet opened the box and no one will before Monday. The gentiemen of the committee have deemed it best to take no steps in this matter until after the interment, and until Monday no attempt to obtain the will for probate will be made. It was suggested that posers the city, being interested, would demand the will, but City Counselor Bell said this morn- ing: The city will make no attempt whatever to havethe will brought out. No one knows that the city is in any way interested, If when the will is probated we find that the city is a beneficiary, then we will make a claim in be- half of the city, but not till then. It is a question whether there is any one who is authorized to open Mr. Shaw’s box except the Pubiic Administrator, Mr. D. F. Kalme was asked this morning if he, as Mr. Sbaw’s agent, had authority to take charge of the box. *‘Ihave more authority than is sup- but I do not intend to exer- is a very important one, one in which the whole city 1s interested, and I do not propose to take any u ibility on my shoulders.

HIGGINSVILLE, Mo., August 28.— About 1,000 members of the Missouri ex-Confederate Asso ciation met here yesterday and inaugurated the Seventh Annual Convention of that organ- ization. People from the surrounding towns and country were present about 5, 000 strong, coming in trains, wagons, on horse- back and afoot. Senator Vest was here yester- day and made aspeech but left in the even- ing. Congressman Kilgore of Texas is here and also Congressman Tarsney. Among those of prominence present are Frank James, T.J. Portis and J.R.Claiborne of 8t. Louis, Joe Shelby, Secretary of State Lesueur, Jim Ed- wards of St. Charles County, R. A. Comins and Hi Bledsoe. Atllo’ciock in the morning a procession was formed and the little body marched to the Fair Grounds. Upon arrival there the races, which had been in progress, were stopped for atime and speeches made, Senator Vest fol- lowing the opening address of President Rob- ert McCulloch. T. J. Portis and Joe Shelby then made brief addresses, after which ex- Congressman Crisp mounted the stand, and, after speaking some time, touched upon Jeff Davis, and ina few moments was in the midst of an ery and heated debate with Joe Shelby, the latter becoming angry at Crisp’s statement that he was not a Jeff Davis man. The discussion was stopped shortly by those in charge of the entertainments. The remain- der of the day was given up to entertaluments of various kinds. LYMAN GOODHUE IN COURT. A Once-Prominent Merchant Before Judge Cady for Cruelty to Animals. There was a pitiful spectacle in the First District Police Court this morning. Lyman B. Goodhue, once a prominent citizen of St. Louis, but now a peddier, 60 years of age, was charged with cruelty to animals in driv- ing a horse with a swollen leg and a galled back. The defense was that the animal was the defendant’s sole support and had been treated for the cure of hie all- ment since the day the swelling first N There was no denial ot the offense charged, and Judge Cady fined the old man $20, remitting $10 afterthe adjournment of court. Goodhue has a sad history. He was at one time well off in this world’s goods, and in 1860 built a glass factory at Tenth and Victor strests. The establishment was not insured, and when it burned tothe ground four years later the old man was left penniless. He was afterwards a foreman in the employ of the Merrill Drug Co., but on the death of the senior partner lost his situation. He has since made a living by peddling soap and oll about the streets. ‘Missourl Matters.

The sub- ject under discussion was the best form in which to draft a let- ter to be addressed tothe diferent mem- bers of Congress, and to bear the sig- W q nature of the Mis- souri Congressional delegation. It was de- termined to carefully avoid any reflections upon other competing cities, and to simply request a suspension of judgment until the case of St. Louis could be presented. THE CONGRESSIONAL LETTER. The following letter was adopted, and will be senttothe fourteen Representatives and two Senators for their signatures. When they are obtained the letter will be manifolded and acopy senttoeach of the members of the United States Congress. The letter runs as follows: THE MILSOURI DELEGATION IN CONGRESS. Hon. ————, RESPECTED COLLEAGUE—The undersigned, composing the delegution from Missouri in the coming Fifty-first Congress, bee to inform you that the State of Missouri will compete in Congress for the location at St. Louis of the World's Fair, to celebrate the uadri-centennial of the discovery of the estern Hemisphere by all its nations and their guests. e ask your aid and assistance in Congress to secure its location at St. Louis. If not committed and still unconvinced, please oblige your colleagues of Missouri by remain- ing so until the assembling of Congress, when and where we hope to greet 2 and reason with you for our Sate. — 2 Another letter will be prepared by Post- master Hyde, setting forth the advantages of St. Louis us a central point, accompanied by a map aia a portraying its recommen- dations. ‘his letter will be signed by the members of the Executive Committee, and mailed at the same time as the letter to the Congressmen. The copies will probably be inclosed in the same envelope. The com- mittee then adjourned until Saturday after« noon ats o'clock. FINANCIAL PLANS. At the combined meeting of the Finance and xecutive Committees Leverett Bell reported that the list of sub-committeemon had not yet been fully prepared, but would be ready within afew days. it is the intention of th Finance Committee to make a subdivision o the city on the basis of trade, and to have a schedule drawn up of the amount to be col- lected from each branch of industry. This schedule will not be prepared for several days. Another meeting was held this afternoon, at which the allotment and personnel of the sub-commit- tees was considered. Mr. Bell said that ne had pursued an alpha- betical scheme and had not completed the list beyond the letter 8. He asked further time, which was anted, and the meetiug ad- urned, sn to the call of the chairman. The following letter was received to-day „ — * from the Commercial Club of Louisville, Ky.: Hugh Rogers, Esq.: DEAR Srr—In reply to acommunication from the Board of Directors of the Merchant's Ex- change at St. Louis, I — aes to say that ata meeting of the Board of Directors of mur ciab at noon to-day, I was instructed to advise your honorabie body that we have appointed a committee which wil! actend the convention which will be held in Washington October 3, when the claims of St. Louis along with those of other cities, will receive due attention, but at present we prefer not to commit ourselves. ANGUS R. ALLMOND, X Sidney Maxwell, Superintendent of the Ein- cinnati Chamber of Commerce, writes: ‘‘I ain instructed by the President of the Chamber of Commerce to acknowledge the receipt of the communication of your Board ot Directors concerning the location of the Worid's Fair at St. Louis, and to say that the same will be submitted to our board at it meeting on next Tuesday for such action as may be deemed best in the premises. . W. Hutehins, Secretary of the Elgin (In.) Board of Trade, writes: The board re- ceived your communication regarding the World's Fair. Iam instructed to reply to the samo, saying that while we as a commercirl body have a very kindly feeling for St. Louis, we prefer Chicago first; St. Louls is our sec- ond choice.’’ The following telegram was received to-day, signed by G. P. Boneser, President, and O. W. Hassett, Secretary of the Merchants’ Ex- change of Dallas, Tex.: ‘‘GENTLEMEN—At an enthusiastic meeting of citizens held under callof the Merchants Exchange to-day, it was unanimousiy re- solved as our first choice to favor St. Louis ag a place of holding the World’s Fair in 1893, and promise our moral support and substane tial aid in making same a success. THE QUESTION OF A SITE. Atthe meeting ofthe Congressional Com- mittee to be held on Saturday, tis probable that the question of the selection of a site will be broughtup. Itis the opinion of Represen- tatives Tarsney and Mansur as well as that of several other members of the committee that the claims of St. Louls before Congress will be greatly strengthened if they are backed with the assurance of a site for the exposition grounds, conveniently located, and of sufficient extent. A recommendation may be made that the ommittee on Real Estate at once set about securing the re- fusal of land suitable for the purpose, Should the efforts of St. Louls be crowned with suc- cess, aloan from the National Government will be applied for, — 2 for the amount of $5,000,000. Secretary Gaiennie stated toa member of the Congressional Committee thag there was little doubt but that the Exposition would not only pay its way, but also would show a - some surpius. The $5,000,000 to be gubscribed by the citizens was to be regarded as an in- demnity fund to secure the Goveromeng against loss. It was most unlikely thatany loss would occur, and not at all unlikely thas the subscribers would have their money re- turned with a handseme dividend.

HE POST - DIS PATCH’S reporter recruit, who enlisted for the purpose of investi- gating soldier life at Jef- ferson Barracks with a view of discovering the causes of so many deser- tions from the United States Army, to-day de- ' geribes the handsbips of dismounted drill, and furnishes individual cases ot desertion with the circumstances at - tending each and the reasons given by the de- serters for leaving the service of Uncle Sam. This chapter is probably the most pertinent and interesting ofall the installments of the reporter-recruit’s experiences which have so far been given to readers of the Posr- DISPATCH It is pretty well known thatthe publication ofthese exposures, which beganin the last SUNDAY Post-Dispatcnu, has already had its effect on the treatment of the soldiers. In two companies the company commanders have made an inspection of the food since Sunday and an improvement, not much to be sure, but enough to make a slight change, has been made in the bill of fare. In Company A one Sergeant remarked that if he knew of any one giving any more military secrets away he would smash his head in with a base bail bat. 8 The Post-DISPATCH= has been warmly thanked by persous interested in military af- fairs, andthe gratitude of the recruits at the barracks is expressed in unbounded terms by them. None of the officers have yet made public their impressions regarding the exposure, but some of them have plainly shown that they fear an immediate investigation. Once more as evidence of the favorable con- @itions under which this information was gained we print the discharge paper of our re- porter-recruit, which shows the term of his service in the army: A Y ARMY OF THE U.

A The following is to-day’s coptribution to the revelations concerning army lite st Jeffer- son Barracks: a Dismounted Drill. The recruits at the barracks are given a little Over two bours’ drill in the foot movements andthe manual of arms each day. In the morning we drilled from 8:45 to 9:45;in the afternoon between 1 and 2 o’clock, and gener- aliy about twenty minutes before retreat. The raw recruit is not given acarbine at once, but the first thing that he is required to learn is what are called the ‘‘setting up’’ ex- ercises. These are given him for the purpose Of loosening up his joints and making his body pliable and lithe. They also tend to expand the chest and strengthen the muscles. There are four of tnese exer- cises and when a recruit is able to go through them all properly his muscles show a decided improvement. b The first exercise is for the purpose of throwing the shoulders back; the second for training the body to bend easily, and the third and fourth for expanding the chest and developing the muscles. These exercises are supplemented by in- Btructions regarding the execution of the facings, the right and left hand salutes, the balance step and a few of the simpler foot movements. The balance step is taught for the purpose of teaching the principies of the direct step. In going through this exercise the recruit balances the body on ove foot and then moves the other from front to rear. He is in reality being taught the first principles of walking. \ The new recruits are formed into squads of four to ten or twelve, each squad in of a non-commissioned officer, who is be thoroughly familiar with the Frequently the recruits become badly mixed up on account of some of the non“ 2 8 officers not understanding what talking about, and the next one who _— charge of the squad is compelled to the men differently, and generully does ‘Hin no gentle manner. It is very aggravating es for a it to be unable ll which ts his foot, but I do recruit | right or left think that it is good 1 to accelerate memory by curses and invectives.

I have seen a eant become so angry at a recruit for not keeping step with the others as to strike him aud nearly knock him down in the ranks. After the recruit can go through the setting- 4 to make the Pty and salutes properly he is suppose eligible to — a member of an armed squad, and a carbine and cartridge-box are issued to him. On receiving these his first duty is to wet them cleaned up. The carbine is almost invariably covered with rust and the belt is generally cracked and wrinkied. There is always « good day's work in making them presentable and as the recruits vie with each other in having the cleanest gun and kit, some of them present a very hand- some appearance. In cleaning up the carbine the barrel is first removed and the rust is taken off with a piece ofemerycioth. Each metal part of the car- bine is served in a similar manner, and after this is finished a burnishing chain is used to put a polish on the metal work. The stock is sometimes scraped witha piece of glass and then varnished, and when a carbine 16 fin- ished up in this manner it has a beautiful appearance, as the barrel and other metal parts appear to be nickel plated. Uf course, all of the recruits do not finish their arms up in this manner, but tney are all cleaned up until not a speck of rust or dust can be found on them. The belt and box require even more work than the carbine, so that a recruit can always find some work to do in fixing them up. The first drilling done with the carbine Is by the numbers, the slightest moves in execut- ing the manual being explained in the tactics. In Company B we bad three sergeants who instructed us each in a different manner re- arding the position of the hand on the car- ine while atan order arms and as each in- sisted that his style was right we bad to be very careful to select the favorite position of the officer ¢rilling us. In drilling by the num- bers we frequentiy were kept hoiding the carbine in such a way as to strain the muscles of the forearm and I have seen a recruit com- pelled to drop his gun because his muscles be- came so weak that bis fingers lost all power to clasp he stock. Any man who has ever drilled will appre- ciate the agony caused by being left at an „inspection carbines’’ while the Sergeant went tothe other end of the quarters aftera drink of water, leaving a Corporal to see that we did not change our position. The recrultis generally kept drilling ina squad in this manner for several days, and is then permitted to drill with the company, which makes things much easier for him, as drilling by the numbers is usually dispensed with. Asa general rule our company drilled in front of the quarters in the morning, paying particular attention to the manual ofarms, and in the afternoon we were marched out to the bull ring, where foot movements and maneuvering were practiced. The first sergeant usually took charge of the company during the afternoon drill, assisted by aright and lett guide and two sergeants, each of whom had charge of a platoon. It was nearly always very warm while drilling and we were generally givena few moments rest in the shade, but sometimes, if the sergeant felt digposed to be ugly,we would be kept out in thesun without a rest. One very hot afternoon while we were drill- ing out in the ‘‘bullring,’’ the thermometer registering over 100 degrees, the sergeant be- came displeased with anegro for falling to keep step. He spoke to him several times, and finally said to the whole company: Fou fellers are a littie too fresh this after- noon and I'll have to take you down a peg or two. lLain’t going to stand here all the after- noon and shout my lungs to pieces telling you fellers to keep step. I’ll just give you a little lesson to show you that you had better mind your business. Now you non-commis- sioned officers, fall out and see howl! make these fresh people sorry for not paying atten- tion.’’ Instead of picking out the one man who had caused the trouble he made the whole com- pany, about forty men, run around at double time for fully fifteen minutes. He ceased the punishment finally when two men had dropped from exhaustion and when we ar- rived atthe quarters two men fainted away, overcome by the heat. That night two men deserted, stating that — 1 had rather risk serving five years in the military prison then to be killed by a brutal ‘*non-com.’’ It wascustomary forthe First Sergeant to punish the whole company for the faults of one or to men who he knew Were the ones to{blame and corrected them and only put the whole company to task out of meanness. The principal maneuvers practiced by the companies at the afternoon drill were wheels and warching in company front. I have seen a man crowded either to the front or rear by pressure from both ends of the company, 80 that it was impossibie for him to keep his proper place, and I have seen the non-com- commissioned officesr run up and punch him in the breast or back with their carbines to make him take his place, when it was impos- sible for him to do so I saw one récruit punched in the stomach in this manner 80 as to be made sick for several days in conse- quence. It seems strange that strong men should faint away and become exhausted so easily, but the cause is easily explained: They Are Not Given Strengthening food, and there fore they become weak and debilitated, and are unable to stand any violent exercise or fatigue. Before enlisting I was never troubled with faintness by any unusual exertion, and could go through almost any exercise without feel- ing in the slightest degree inconvenienced, but after joining the ranks of Uncle Sam's re- cruits I would feel faint and dizzy after the slightest exercise, forthe simple reason that the food which I was compelied to eat was un- fitfor the formation of muscle, andif I bad not supplemented my rations with food pur- chased at the sutier’s store and from peddiers I do not know howI shoul dhave beenenabied to pass through my experience as well as I id. As it was, I weighed 127% vounds when I en- listed and in less than three weeks I only weighed 110 pounds. The peddlers reapla harvest among the re- cruits as long as they have any money by sell- ing them cakes, pies, sausage. etc., and the recruits spend their last ceat for these things. I have seen men go to Carondelet, a distance of three miles, for the purpose of getting a good meal, and risking incarceration in the guard-house by doing 80. The non-commissioned officers were afraid that the way the recruits were fed would leak out, and as tramps frequently came along the railroad track and stopped to beg for a meal, they were always given the best that there was inthe kitchen. J have seen recruits hang around where a tramp was eating aod ask him to ‘‘sneak’’ a piece of steak or a couple of lumps of sugar for them. The Deserters. A recruit who leaves the service of the United States army does not become a desert er until he has been absent for ten days or un- less hie dresses in civilian’s clothes before the expiration of that period. If he remains away for nine days and thon returns he is tried bya court-martial for being ‘‘absent without leave,’’ and the general punishment inflicted for this offense is six months’ imprisonment and a fine of $60. While I was at Jefferson Barracks, nearly three month I know of about twenty men who deserted from the company to which I was at- tached and about as many more left each of the other three companies during that time. The deserters, as a general thing, make no secret of the fact that they contem- late desertion, and the recruits, when they now that a comrade contemplates such a step, will always assist him, frequently giving up their last cent to aid him, was made the confidant at different times of about ten recruits who deserted, and as they told me the reasons which caused them to leave the service lam able to give them to the readers of the Post-DIsPaTou. It is expected at the Barracks that a number of men will desert, and very little effort is made to recapturethem. The fact that they have deserted is sent to Wagnhington, to the recruiting offices, to the place which they gave as their home and to the chiefs of police of all large cities. A standing reward of $30 is offered for each deserter captured. Out of the fifty or sixty men that deserted while l wasatthe barracks 1 know of only one Who was caught, and he was given up by a comrade out of revenge. The man who gave him up was totally os- tracised after this by the members of his com- pany.

After which, with a warm hand-shake, they started down the track.

Neither one but caught than to remain and live on the fare furnished them. The next o who went invited me to take a While standing ont river bank I saw my com- panion wave a handkerchief to some person in a boat, who immediately rowed toward — and as the boat touched the bank he stepp into it and after shaking hands with me said: „I guess you know what I'm up to. If you want to come along there's room for another, and I'll help you out if you get busted. I’ve gota couple of dollars.’ Ithanked him, but declined the offer, and the last lsaw of the boat it was being rowed across to the Illinois shore This man’s complaint wasthe same as that of the others—the poor food and also the treatment given him by the non-commissioned officers. The next men who deserted did it in a rather unique, not to say dangerous manner. There were three of themand they had builta sort of raftout of some logs and driftwood. I helped them at the work all one afternoon and several other recruits knew of the affair and also gave their ass ist- ance. Their project was to float down the river and throw their clothes away and then appeal to some charitable steamboat man for aid, representing that they had been robbed of their clothes while swimming in the river. I never heard of them again, and whether their plan was successful or not I cannotsay. The recruits did not take the question of danger into consideration at all. Why, one told me that he was going to swim the river that night and get away. He said that be had rather risk drowning than to stay atthe Barracks and be treated like a dog and fed like a hog. One littie fellow, about 16 years of age pur- chased a citizen's sult and changed his clothes in the brush back of the guard-house and then boldly walked down to the depot and boarded a train. Some of the new recruits on arriving at the Barracks were placed in the hot kitchen at work and kept there for several days. One of these worked one day and then de- serted that night. He said he could earn more than $13 a month at that kind of work some- where else and also get something decent to e walk after su ae down by the river. at. The recruits frequently go downtothe rail- road track in the evening and watch the freight trains go by. One day there were two men, who had been atthe Barracks about a month, who were drilling in cou heving just received their carbines that day. The sergeant who was drilling them used these two men a little rough and cursed one of them for not being quicker in his movements. They sold their blankets for 50 cents each and that evening while standing near the depoti saw them crawl in undera freight car and they rode away on the brake beam. I saw a large number of men from the other companies whom I was not acquainted with board freight trains in a similar manner. I saw one climb up into the tender of an en- gine and after 14 a few blocks of coal to one side he laid dowaon the pile and went away in this fashion. There was no necessity of asking the men why they left, as it was always the same com- plaint: Poor grub“ and the brutal treat- ment of the non-commissioned officers. There was one bright young man in our company who was quite skilled in painting portraits on glass and who did some work of this description atthe Barracks. One even- ing lsaw him standing on the porch at the rear of the quarters and in a joking way I asked bim if he was thinking of his girl. He turned around and I saw tears in his eyes as be said: No, but I’m thinking of my mother and if it wasn’t for herl’d swallow this,’’ at the same time showing me a vial of arsenic. I persuaded him to give methe poison, which I threw away. ‘*l feel like asiave here, he said, and 1 must do something for I can’t stand this treaiment any longer. That brute of a Ser- geant —— ‘jumped’ me again to-day for noth- ing and he talked to me in such a brutal man- ner that Icould hardly prevent myself from springing on him and strangling bim. Be- side Ioan t eat anything, but you know how that is yourself.’’ We taiked for some time and he finally said: Let's leave tiis place. Ireally can’t stand this any longer, and if you hadn’t come out justas you did I think that 1 should have swallowed that poison. If you won’t go with mel’ll go alone. The next day he shook hands with me and said that he was going to leave that night. He did so and I afterward received a letter from him dated at Chicago, saying that he was doing nicely. There was one young fellow in Company B, who was sickly the greater portion of the time and was hardly able tostand. This was not sufficient, however, to permit him to be relieved from duty, and*he went on guard and drilled the same asthe others. He was really quite iil, and one evening he went into the orderly-room and asked tobe excused from dress parade, but this was denied him. His friends were afraid that he would faint away if he went on dress parade, so a couple of recruits who were on pass assisted him ont of the quarters and down toa piace alongside the river where there was an old fisherman’s hack. Some nourishing food was stolen from the non-commissisned officers’ table and he was kept in this place for two days until he was able to travel, when he was assisted to Carondelet and there placed on a train for 8t. Louis, He had before this been provided with a citizen’s suit of clothes and succeeded in making his way tosome other city where he bad friends. A recruit, who had enlisted while a minor, had writtento hisrelatives asking them to get him ont, and everything was apparently n finely towards his being dis- charged. e was certain of getting released within ashort time as the claim of enlisting while a minor is alwaye successful in procur- ing adischarge. Some of the ‘‘non-coms’’ *‘Jamped’’ him, and as they expressed it, got onto him,“ making his existence at the Barracks so unbearable that he ran away and became a deserter wow 4 afew days before his discharge was ordered. He said that he would rather risk being captured as a deserter than to endure for a few days longer the treatment which he received at the hands ofthe non- commissigned officers. A large number of recruits are compelled to do what ie called ‘‘dally duty,’’ such as driv- ing acart, doing common labor, driving the company team or acting as a servant for some officer, being compelled to black his boots, brush his clothes, care for his horses and do chores around the house.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Having read the trials and experience of the Post-DIsPaTcu reporter as a recruit at Jeffer- son Barracks, I wish to say that I know they are not exaggerated in the least. Their truth Loan vouch for by —5 own experience at Columbus Barracks, Ohio, where recruits are treated inthe same wa bulldozed, ill-treated shamefully for trifies both by their commis- sioned and non-commissioned officers. I include the commissioned officers, for the blame certainly lies at their door, for they are supposed to investigate and know what trans- ires in and about eee epMeaay 8 quarters, ut instead of bothering their heads about their company’s affairs they leave it to the the company’s First Sergeant who, with very few exceptions, is a shrewd and cunning scoundrel. The same state of affairs exists in the companies of the different regiments. I have seen men dishonorably discharged with- out their back pay, just because their First Sergeant took every advantage to confine them in the guard-house upon the least offense. I have seen one of these same men put into the vard-bouse and sentenced by martial to ten days and $10 missing tattoo roll-call, when at the same roll-call he had reported to a ‘‘non-com,’’ that he had to ab- sent himself for urgent and excusable reasons. 1 have seen men taken from their bunks at night after tape“ for alleged drunkenness by a company commander who was so drunk at the time that he had to lean against the gun-rack to support himself, and at the same post and at the same time the commanding officer was druuk, and to my knowledge and the knowledge of several comrades had been drunk for weeks, leaving his command in the hands of an Adjutant who on several occa- sions was so drunk that the Post Quartermas- ter had to mount guard for him. This same Adjutant was guilty of gross immorality. I have been ordered to leave off cleaning m rifle and equipments for inspection to go an chop wood for an officer when the snow was falling deep upon the ground. When his own **dog-robber’’ (a ‘‘dog-robber’’ isa private whois carried onthe com. books for duty, but who is a menial ofan officer’s tor a paltry sum and excused from duty) stood by and laughed at me. Icould relate factsand incidents like the above, practiced upon the poor soidier by bis superiors and even how heis abused at the hands of the Post Surgeon. I could also make some very personal charges against some of them. But it would lead directly to my identity, and God forbid, for I have a family to support, and this article would give me about five years more than Uncle Sam would impose upon me for break- ing my part of his broken and misrepresented contract. About all the enjoyment I ever saw inthe army was when the bed bugs let up on me long enough to give me a wink of sleep to dream of home and mince pie, but alas! I always awoke to a reality of sium gullion and hot colored walter. Let the Post-DIsPaATCH keep up its good work to the end, and I hope and pray that the President of the United States in his wisdom will issue an amnesty proclamation and free thousands of young Americans like myself, who misguided and thoughtiessly took a false step in entering the United States Army.

Collector Ziegenheim and his deputies are passing through a si¢ége these days which would turn some people’s hair gray. Last April High street was declared open from St. Louis avenue on the north to Park avenue on the south. The Oireuit Court issued an order deciaring all property Owners between the avenues named and Tenth and Fourteenth streets to have been benefited by the opening of the street, and should be assessed according to the benefit to be derived. The assessments were finished June Il, and the bills—2,740 in number—were turned over tothe collector June 2. He sent out postal cards notifying property owners to call and pay thelr assessments, and for several weeks has deen receiving replies. The property owners do not seem to understand it and sendin word that they do not own any property on High street, or call at the office in a ruffled state of mind and try to argue the Collector into the belief that he has made a mistake. The bills range from 60 cents to $600, the amount being graded accord - ing to the proximitv of the property to High street. The total amount is $70,772. Some of the property owners have setthe assessment down as an outrage and declare they will not pay it. There is go- ing to be a great deal of trouble over the bills, as they passed into the Ci Counselor’s hands August 2 and are now drawing 6 per cent interest perannum, The City Counsellor will hold the bills ninety days and then enter suit against the delinquents, as every bill is a lien against the property, and in the eyes of the court has as much weight as a judgment of the court, the assessment having been or- dered by that tribunal. Over two thousand property owners are interested, and onlya few of them have so far paid their bills, MELD TO ANSWER, A Variety of Questions Which the Police Propese to Aak.

TALK OF ORGANIZING A NF W GAS COM- PANY AS AGAINST THE LACLEDE. Mr. J. H. Blessing Gives an Idea of the Plaus of Old Gas Stockholders, While Mr. James Campbell Furnishes the La- clede Plans and Throws the Field Wide Open to Any Rivals. OSSIBILITIES of com- petition in the gas- lighting business in St. Louis are still talked of, and in some circles it is believed to be almost certain that there will be a rival company to the La- clede. The practical defeat of the bill be- fore the Municipal As- e sembly at ite last ses- is not regarded as settling the question at all, as that bill brought out propositions from business men which showed that capital was plenty ready to go into the gas business on the basis fixed. The movement now, how. ever, isto organize a new company composed entirely of St. Louisans, and to a great extent of men who have heretofore been interested in the gas business. „I have heard considerable of such plans, said Mr. J. H. Blessing, this morning, ‘‘and I would not be surprised to see them matured and carried out. There is a great deal of feel- ing among the holders of the securities of the old companies, and tne present talk all GROWS OUT OF THIS, so that it willlikely go through unless they are harmonized. It is a recognized fact that the new Laclede’s securities are greatly wa- tered, and that so far as there being any such value as 320,000, 000, the plant is not worth the $10,000,000 of bonds, and can be duplicated for much less than that. The trouble in the watering is that most of it bas gone to people outside of the city, though some of the old holders here who were con- nected with the deal have been taken care of. The old holders now claim that the issue of common stock, if made, should have been pro rata, among all the holders coming into the reorganized company. This would strike me asthe equitable way to do the thing. **What are the values of the securities?’’ ‘‘In that of course the old holders have those which have a market value. They bave bonds and preferred stock, but that makes no difference, as they are looking at the principle of the transaction. I do not think the common stock has any value, aud I do not attach any value even to the pre- ferred stock for the reason, as I have told you, that the property is not worth the amount of the bond issue of $10,000,000. If the cempany continues without opposition, however, ALL THIS WILL BB CHANGED, as, considering the growth of the city and the 2 comparative increase in the n on of gas, will be only a few years until they will pa a fair income. The common stock oes not cost anything and under the circumstances the holders of it can very well afford to lay it away in a strong boa and wait until it has a value. As it represents nothing, it is not costing any 8 at all, and you can see how the ers Of it can afford lay back on it. ‘*Do you think it probable that a new com- pany will be form 4 „From whatI know ofit, yes, under cer- talon circumstances. ery mun likes to ted fairl trea y, and many of the of the securities of the old com- les do not think they have been in ers its basis of division, and ese old holders on an equali:y with the others, then I do not think there will be any position to the Laciede from that source.

It is hardly possible that under any circumstances the price will be above $1. The position of the company is just this, briefly, it does not propose to practice any extortion, and it does not intend to submit to any blackmall, The Laclede will be masaged on a atrictly business basis, The fleld is open for any and all competitors, but ifthey come in they mast sell their goods cheaper than the Laclede. In the language of President MacMillan, he proposes to keep a country store, and to sell silk to those who wane it and calicg to those who can’t afford silk.’ ‘*When will the work of modernizing the Laclede and St. Louis plants be completed?!“ It is in progress now, and will be pushed just as rapidly as possible. There is nothing too good forthe new management, I can as- sure you, and they propose if possible to have the finest gas plants in the country. They are going ahead on this basis, and as they expect to sell gas as low as possible and make a profit, they have no fear of any competiton.’’ Po they anticipate any trouble from their DISGRUNTLED STOCKHOLDERS, in assisting a fight against them?“ „1 do not know what you mean by dis- gruntied stockholders. 80 far as my informa- tion goes, there are none. The holders of the securities of the old companies gota good price, more than they expected, and they are satisfied. Those who sold out are especially go, and those who did not sell are not golug to do anything to depreciate the value of their property. Toshow that there is no cause for complaint, you need only recall the manner in which the sales were made. Briefly, a syndicate was formed in New York to provide the cash for the purchase of ali the gas plants in thecity. Atter considerable negoti- ation the price was agreed upon. Then an additional privilege was agreed upon. The syndicate was ready to close up everything on a cash basis, but said: ‘Here, we will buy your stock for cash, but we want you with us, and for that reason we will give you an ad- ditional privilege to make it an object for vou to stay with us.“ This privilege was a proportion of the bonds and preferred stock of the reorganized Laclede Co. Many of the old holders availed themselves of the privi- lege very quickly, while others took the cash; and, as you know, who took the cash received their mon deferred payments, long before it was due.’’ [1 is the division of the stock und se- curities those UNDER THE REORGANIZATION as it has been effected?’’ St. Louis holds $4,500,000 of them, includ- ing $1,500,000 of bonds and their proportionate representation in preferred stock, held in the company’s treasury for the 2 of mak ing improvements and adding an electric lant, which, by the way, will be a prominent eature. New York, with Hollins & Co,, holds $4,000,000, and Philadelphia $1,500,000. The $7,500,000 of common stock, not „000,000, as has been — is held by Hollins & Co., to be divided among their as- sociates in the purchasing syndicate, as was agreed when they advanced the purchase . In proportion to their subscriptions,’’ oo atwillbe done with reference to the electric light plant spoken of?’’ „It will probably be on the site of the water gas plant, as it would there be convenient to coaland coke.

It is true that I have preferred the Jillinois Staats-Zeitung to your paper, and should therefore have chosen to send this letter to Chicago. However, a man’s shirt is neurer than his coat, as the saying runs, and] am nearest to you, there- fore l have determined to address the news- paper nearest at hand. Please send this to the Illinois Staats-Zeitung in the original, as many of itsreaders are deeply interested in my good or ill fortune. * HIS FIRST MARRIAGE. IJ have always been a dutiful son to my ious parents. It grleves me greatly that 1 ave not been able to manifes&my deep love for my 80-year-old mother, who is tenderiy cared for by my sister. I began my career asa preacher in Chicago. Iwas more than satis- fiea with the resuits of my ministry, and con- sidered myself a happy and fortunate man un- tiliI married. For five years 1 quarreled with my first wife, then I obtained a divorce, and the court awarded me the custody of my two danghters. I never was able to secure the youngest, and had to content myself with the custody of the eldest, at that time 442 years of age. I traveled about with her seek- ing employment, and finally obtained ‘a situation in the vicinity of St. Louis. At last, on account of the difficuity of properly attending to child, I decided toengage a housekeeper. She proved to be an industrious woman, and showed much attachwentto my little daughter. Ieducated the housekeeper, and also afterwards confirmed hein the church. After living in this manner for eighteen months I accepted a cail from an lliinois congregation not far from St. Louis. This broke up my household, and I again found myself alone in the world with my daughter, who then was8 years of age. I did not wish to employ a housekeeper, as no matter how innocent the relations between us, they always gave rise to unfavorable criticism, especially as I wasaclergyman. I had no desire to marry, and therefore deemed it best to place my daughter in an orphan asylum. But on returning to my lonely dwelling I wasso overcome with the longing to see my daughter that l immediately took ber from the orphan asylum and brought her back to my home. MATRIMONIAL FAILURES. I made two ‘*‘Ithen determined to marry. proposais of marriage, but was in both cases informed that I could not be accepted unless I would agree to send my child to her mother. I then said to myseif thatI would take up my burden, proposed to my former housekeeper and was accepted. After the wedding my wife broke her solemnly pledged promise to bel. tudious and obedient and I also noticed that she was not nearly so indus- trious as she had been as my housekeeper, I endeavored, first by love and ufterwards by strictness and severity, to bring my wife to a proper appreciation of her conduct, but in vain. I could not remain as pastor on account of her conduct and was in despair. I then sent my daughter on a. visitto her motber, and shortly ufterwards received word that I could not have her again as I could not obtain another situation as pastor, and was obliged to resort to bard work as a day laborer at 81.25 a dav. Instead of showing any appre- ciation of my efforts, my wife ran away, tak- ing with her one little son and all my smuil savings. When I discovered this I lay for three days almostsenseless. I then sold every- thing I possessed and sought out my wife. I found her with her relatives, and she consented to return to me This occurred in July, 1888. Last winter I obtained the pas- torate of a mission church about sixty-eight miles from St. Louis, but my wife refused to accompany me. Last May I was offered a good position by an IIlinois church fifty miles from St. Louis. As my wife refused to leave this city, I went alone. But as she would not send me my son, who was then {four years old, I resigned. To obtain another divorce would glace me in an embarrassing position before the community. I could not live with- out at least one of my children with me. 1 could no longer hope tor a churen on account of my family troubles, and if I took up the tcalling of a day laborer I would either be suspected by the men or my employer might be embarrassed by my presence. HE DECIDES TO DIE. 1 long wrestled in prayer, and in my quiet room reflected over my situation. Had 1 not hoped for God's help, I would long ago have departed from this world of trials. But it ap- pears as ifthe Almighty hand had not wished my dear wife to follow me and, therefore, she is blameless. It seems to me cer tain that my misfortunes are foreordained, and that my fate must have come as it was. therefore meet death without fear, and feel joyfully convinced that, through the blood of Jesus Christ, I will obtain biessed peace in the hereafter, and also again find those who in this world were socrueliy torn from me. Even my enemies will bear witness that Ihave always endeavored to be fair’ and honorabie in allmy dealings. My fauit has been that under hard trials I had some- times shown ill temper. It is true that, in my many griefs and great sufferings, I have not refrained from the use of spirit- uous liquors, and have been a decided oppo- nent of the temperance party, but whoever says that Jam a drunkard is a liar. If the Westliche Post would publish in its columns the names of hypocritical blackcoated ministers, I could place several before the public.

Darron, O., August 28.—The town did not sleep last night. Its electric lights flooded the streets with brightness, and the enthusi- asm of the delegates and visitors kept them Walking through the whole night. With the coming of daybreak aclub from Canton, O., marched witha fine band from the depot. It is undoubtedly the largest convention heid by the Democracy of Ohio foralong time, and the citizens of Dayton, regardless of party, have made a favorable impression by graceful courtesies. A notable one was the tender of the Garfield Club’s rooms to the Committee on Resolutions, followed byalunch for the committee. THB CONVENTION is held in the Rink, a large wooden building capable of seating several thousand people, but wholly inadequate to the demand made by the crowds of people anxious to be present at the great State council. Ample arrangements were made for seating the delegates and the working force necessary to carry on the pro- ceedings. Ten o’clock was the time for the opening of the convention. The delegates were seated and the hall was packed at 10:15 o’clock, when Dr. Norton rapped for order. After prayer by Rev. McFarlin Dr. Norton made a brief ad- dress outlining the purposes of the convention. He made his speech the vehicle for a caustic criticism of the Republican party and espec- ially of Gov. Foraker, the candidate of that party for re-election. This was followed by a eulogy of the Democratic party and its prin- ciples. HIS ALLUSION TO GROVER CLEVELAND as the noblest and greatest living Democrat, was marked by long continued applause. The Committee on Credentials reported no con- test, but that Lucas County was represented by a mass delegation, in accordance with the action of the Executive Commit- tee, whose vote in convention should bean aggregate of seventeen votes. A mo- tion to recommit with instructions to name the seventeen delegates entitied to seats, was made, coupled with a recommendation against mass delegate representation at future conventions. After a brief debate the motion was laidonthe table andthe reportof the committee was adopted. M. D. HARTER of Richland County was named for permanen President, Lewis G. Bernard of Hamilton County for Secretary and Peter Weidner of Montgomery for Sergeant-at-Arms, was recommended for election by the Committee on Organization. They were duly elected, along with a Vice-President and Assistant Secretary for each Congressional District. Mr. Harter made a very lengthy speech cov- ering nearly all points at issue between the parties. After adopting the report of the Committee on Rules and Orderof Business and announce- ment of the State Central Committee, John A. McMahon made the report of the Committee on Resolutions, prefacing it with the state- ment that it was not a compromise, but was unanimously adopted and that the committee was fully agreed that there should be no back-» ward step in the matter of tariff reform. [Great applause. ] THE PLATFORM. 1. The Democracy of Ohio in convention as- sembled approve the deciaration of the prin- cipies made by the National Democracy in St. Louis in 1888, and especially that part of it de- manding reduction of tariff taxes; we will continue the battle for tariff reform until the cause of the people is triumphant, 2. We regard trusts, in whatever form or- ganized, as the legitimate result of our pres- ent tariff system; and we demand the repeal of all tariff taxes that enable them to extort from the people exorbitant prices for the products they control. 3. We aguln acknowledge the great debt of gratitude the nation owes to the heroes of the late war, and we declare in favor of just, liberal and equitable pension laws. 4. Wedenounce the Kepublican Administra- tion for its repeated violation of its pledges in behalf of civil service reform. 5. We denounce the present State adminis- tration as the most partisan, demoralizing and extravagant in our history. We invite the careful investigation of all citizens into our financial affairs as shown by the oficial records. 6. We protest against the repeated enact- ment of laws vesting the appointing power in the Governor, enabling him to control the local boards of our leading citizens. While depriving them of self-government it con- structs a vast political machine that is at all times Cosporons and in the hands of a par- tisan chief executive has become a positive menace to the people of the State. 7. The nomination of Governor of Onlo for a third term, in violation of all precedent, by the notorious and disgracefuluse of patron- age at his command is an outrage against the people and should be rebuked at the polis. 8. We heartily favor bomerule in land, we demand it aleo for Onio. While favoring all laws that sacredly protect the baliot-box and the honest voter, we demand the enact- ment of laws that will enable our cities to choose their own servants and control their own affairs.

Foran of Cleveland pre- sented the name of Virgil P. Kline of Cuva- hoga County. Henry Apthorp of Ashtabula seconded the nomination. Frank ©. Dougherty placed in nomination Lawrence T. Neal of Ross County; Mr. Seward of Richland County seconded this nomination. With these three eandidates the nominations closed and the first ballot proceeded. FIRST BALLOT. It resulted: Campbell, 382; Neal, 252; Kline, 149, It required 896 votes to nominate. Aug- laisee changed to Campbell, quickly followed by others, so that Campbell was nominated on the first ballot. Before the ballot was announced a difficulty arose in regard to the vote of Hamilton County, the assertion being made that it had been recorded solid for Campbell, while there were three or four votes for Neal. Pend- leg this disturbance several votes changed to Neal. Great disorder resulted aud the Chair finally announced that no definite result could be reached until order was restored. Cries of no bulidozing’’ were heard placing in Campbell of and there were cries of ‘‘second ballot,’’ and announce the vote.“ The Chair said that the vote of Hamilton County must be repeated. It was done, giving Campbell 65 instead of 75 votes. Other changes were made, generally in favor of Neal, but all efforts to rectify the confusion were unsnccessful. Delegates crowded the press representatives’ space and now and then the band woulddrownthe noise. Finally the Chair announced the vote: Campbell, 388; Neal, 292; Kline, 109 SECOND BALLOT. The band nlayed The Campbells Are Com- ing.“ The delegates acquiesed in this clear- ing of the tangle, and with some degree of order the second ballot proceeded. The total vote cast was 789%, of which Campbell re- ceived 397% ; Neal, 299; Kline, 3. This nomi- nated Mr. Campbell and the hall was wild with shouting men. The banda ain played The Campbells Are Coming,’’ anda motion to make the nomina- tion of Mr. Campbell unanimous was carried with another season of shouting b the crowd, and more of the campaign air by the band. Mr. Campbell was sent for, and a recess of fifteen minutes was taken. Both Will Be Troanced. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. LONDON, O., August 23,—John F. Locke has written a letter deciining all the propositions of George C. Rawlins for settling the dispute between them as to who isthe real Republican nominee for State Senator in that district.

A Springfield (O.) special says that Mr. Raw- lins, now that Locke has declined his proposi- tion for the retirement of one of them, will not withdraw from the contest, but will sub- mit his case to the voters of the district next November. Democratic Club Officers. Darrox, O., August 28.—The State League of Democratic Clubs to-day elected W. A. Taylor of Columbus, President; F. K. Martin of the Duckworth Club, Cincinnati, First Vice- Presi dent; James E. N eal of the Miami Club, Ham- ilton, Second Vice-President; Chester Stunds of the Jackson Club, Columbus, Secretary; J. C. Patterson, Jackson Club, Dayton, Assistant Secretary; Ed W. Donnelly of the Duckworth Club, Treasurer, and then adjourned to meet at the call of the President, South Dakota’s Convention. Huron, 8. D., August 28.—This morning’s trains increasea the crowd atthe Republican State Convention to fully 2,000, the largest po- litical gathering in the history ot the Dako- tas. The slates made last night have been re- ceived this morning. The entire night was devoted to caucusing, many dele- remaining up all night. The tein perance gathering last night added strength to pronibition. In his speech Gov. Mellette urged constita- tional prohibition, as did hanouse, Woodford, Pickler and others. Prohibition resolutions have been prepared, but they are of the cranky order. The scheme last night to se- eure thenomination of Van Osdel instead. of Patten for Lieutenant-Governor has prac- tically fallen through. The farmers who urged Van Usdel found thatthe Prohibitionists would not go to Van Qsdel because he championed high license in the islature last winter. They stick to Patten and have a fine prospect of success. If he fails it will be because of the over-confidence of hia friends. 8. Medley of Grant will certainly be temporary chairman. Matthews’ friends are putting in their best licks, and will go into the con- vention with 100 votes. He has gained strength since caucuses last night. If McCoy withdraws, Matthews will receive much of his strength. A trade was proposed to the Scandinavians to give strength to McCoy for Secretary of State in- stead of Ringreed, but they refused, they having determined to have that office for Ringreed. Diggs, for Treasurer, now leads Smith and Ruth. Mellette will be nominated tor Governor by acclamation. Pennsylvania Prohibitionists, HARRISBURG, Pa., August 28.—There was a large audience present in the opera-house to- day when the Prohibition Convention was called to order. Prominent temperance workers from all parts of the State were pres- ent and the 8 were enthusiastic, earnest an full ot interest. Agib Rickets of Scranton was chosen temporary chairman. Chairman Rickets appoin com- mittees on credentials, rmanent organiza- tion and order of the day. During the re- tirement of the committees Decker National Chairman, was introduced and spoke on the Probibition 88 in detail.

OoOYrProsriTEe — LITTLE HOPE FOR HIM. WIFE MURDERER ANDERSON ALMOST CERB- TAIN TO HANG. He Notifies Deputy-Jailer Gignoux That He Does Not Want to See Reporters or Ministers—Efforts That Have Been Made to Have Him Pronounced Insane—His Crime. Wm. Anderson, the condemed wife mur- derer, has demonstrated his sanity to the sat- isfaction of all the officeraof the law whose duty makes bis case one of particular concern. From the day Attorney Thomas B. Estep was appointed to defend the prisoner, that gentleman has been persistent in his declarations thatthe mind of his client was unbalanced. That was the defence set forth at the trial, but the jury found the de- fendant guilty of murder in the first degree and Judge Normile sen- tenced him to be hanged. Mr. Estep first appealed. to the Supreme Court without success, and then invoked the assist- ance of the medical experts, who were in- vited toexamine the prisoner and render a report as to his mental condition. Drs. Jerome K. and Keating Bauday accepted the invita- tion, but were undecided as to what verdict they should return. At this juncture Gov. Francis respited Anderson from August 10 to September 13. e ANDERSON’S REQUEST. To-day the condemned man sent the follow- ing letter from Cell 46, Murderers’ Row, ad- dressed to Deputy Jaller Alex. Gignoux: ‘* DEAR Stx—I don’t wish to see any reporters or ministers under no circumstances and you will confer a great favor upon me by comply- ing with myrequest. Yours respectfully, X. ANDERSON.’’ When questioned as to the motives which should inspire sucha request, Mr. Gignoux said that Anderson was prepared to die but wanted to pass away from thie world as quietly as possible, without ceremony or service. His decree against the scribes would indicate him to bea man capable of reason- ing, but his stand in refusing admittance to the cloth is untenabie. REV. WAUGERIN, who has ministered tothe spirit zal wants of the condemned for many months, called at has rendered no official report his investigations and Attorney Estep has given up all hope and left the city. Sheriff Pohiman will refuse to summon a Sheriff’s jury to examine the condemned and it is not expected that Gov. Francis will again interfere. Under these circumstances Wm. Anderson will undoubtedly meet death on the morning of Friday, September 13. THE CRIME. Anderson was employed as gardener at a reformatory institution for fallen women and there met and married his wife, who was an inmate ofthe place. He afterward became 8 of other men, an 3 er conduct was common talk in the neighborhood. Men spoke to him about it and said be was foolish to put op with her. On the night ofthe murder he says he hunted about the town for her, and when he found her she would not leave her associates to return home with him.

FROM THE WORLD’S FAIR. . © Senator Payne’s Views on the Subject—Sub- sidies for Steamship Lines to Establish | Direct Communication With Central and South America Advocated—Preparations for the hight te Be Made for the Loca- tion. By Telegraph to the Post-D1spaTcu. CLEVELAND, O., August 28.—‘‘The World's Fair of 1892,’’ said Senator Henry B. Payne to a correspondent, ‘‘will afford this country the greatest opportunity it will ever enjoy to pro- mote our trade relations with that part of the world in which our trade can most profitably be extended—the Republics of Central and South America and the Empire of Brazil. They will all be represented undoubtedly in our great exposition, commemorative of the discovery of America 400 years ago, and will havea direct interest in the celebration be- yond what European nations, except italy and Spain, can feel. Some of these nations to the south of us are undergoing a splendid de- velopment, especially Mexico, the Argentine Confederation and Brazil. Their resources are of marvelous extent and variety, IMMIGRATION FROM EUROPE ig tending in their direction, and their pos- sibilities for industrial and commercial development are almost without limit. In that direction, rather than toward the over-populated nations of Europe, our efforts for foreign trade should tend. Repre- sentatives of the political and commercial life of these sister nations will attend the great Fair in considerable numbers, and they would come in far greater numbers were the means of communication better. The opportunity to cultivate this acquaintance and to establish closer relations with them should not be neg- lected. But ali that can be done in that way will be largely in vain unless Congress does something to encourage and promote communication between them and the United States. We cannot trade to any great extent with South America and especially if the principal and only reliable means ot transportation is, as now, by way of England. We want DIRECT, REGULAR AND FREQUENT COMMUNICA- TION with allthe accessible nations of South and Central America, apd they want it just as much as we do, and have frequently offered to do their share towards establishing such communications. The only regular steamship lines plying’ to South American ports are owned and subsidized in Europe. I have always been jn favor aud have advocated and supported s@bsidies large enough to secure rapid and prompt stearaship service between the United States and South American ports. A few millions eo in this way would be returned ten-fold in a few yeurs in the way of increasea trade. Is is the only way in which WE CAN MEET EUROPEAN COMPETITION for that trade. The question whether the United States or Europe shall secure the greater part of that trade in the future depends upon the action of Congress in regard to sub- sidizing South American steamship lines, It is that policy which is building up European trade with our Southern neighbors and we must adopt do that trade, The great fair —s. be preceded by Congressional action that will secure certain and swift means of communication with our American neighbors, or a very great part of the possible value of such an exposition, in the commercial sense, will be lost in advance. It is a reflectlon upon the enterprise and common sense of the people and Government of the United States that in extending an in- vitation to the people of South America to visit the great fair we can offer them no better transportation route than to come by way of Liverpool. We must greatly improve on that or abandon hopes of immediate or great iu- crease in our trade with them.’’ = — — — — MEXICO FOR Sr. LOUIS. 6 Trade Relations Between the Two Republics Discussed, This morning a party of prominent Mexicans arrived in the city and registered at the Southern. All are from the State of San Luis Potosi and are making 4 tour of the United States, the object being business and pieasure combined. The majority of the party will attend the Ali America conference to be held in Washington, and are busily engaged in collecting data concerning the products and industries of the United States, and the opportunities of increasing the commerce between this coun- try and Mexico, One wember of the party, Jose Carval, in reply to a question said: “The relations be- tween Mexico and the United States have been very much closer during the last four or five years than ever before, but they are not vet nearly as intimate as they could and should be. he railroads have done an immense deal to unite the two leadmg American republics. Untilthe building of the Mexican Central the only means of transportation along the northern tier of States was by wagon, and the cost and uncertainty of this was 80 great as to throw nearly ALL THE MEXICAN TRADE into European hands. While nominally contiguous the two countries were in reality separated by an ex- panse of what was then practically desert country 150 miles wide at least. A few wagon trains croased this, but the great centers of the Mississipp: Vailey, notably St. Louis, were further removed from Mexico than a. European seaport. Now all this is changed; a fine railroad connects the Valley of Mexico with the Mississippi Valley, and we are look- ing for oursupplies from the points from which they naturally should be drawn. A great change has already resulted. We are now using American agriculturial im- plements almost exclusively, and your mining machinery is fast supplanting that manufactured in England. Mexican mines are being worked by Americans as they never were before, and the bond that should unite thetwo countries is being drawn closer and 1 every day, Wish manifest advantages oth. ‘*‘While much has been done more still re- mains to do in the direction of in- troducing and the Latin republics other. This will be — 4 may y by the conference of American republics to be held at Wasbing- ton. The citizens of Mexico and of the Cen- trai American republics are immensely inter- ested in the conference, and will send A TRULY REPRESENTATIVE DELEGATION. At one time there wasastrong feeling in Mexico, especially amon the rer elasses of the Northern States, ainst the United States, and a decided leaning to the English. This has been steadily disap- e and to-day there is scarcely a trace of it left. We all see the immense advantages that would accrue to us from increased trade with this country, especially with the Missis- sippi Valley, and will do our best to promote it. From what I know of trade, I should say that St. Louis was wore interested in the con- ference than any other city in the Union. It is our nearest supply point and should do by far the greatest part of the bust ness that goes by rail. The Mexicans have always had closer relations with St. Louis than with any large Awerican city and many of our merchants would rather buy here than anywhere else, other things being — 48 But it seem to me that St. Louis should be able, owing to its situation and rallroad fa- cilities, to offer better advantages than any other place. It this is done it can about ab- sorb a great portion of the Mexican trade. Our delegates will vient this city during October next and will then bave an opportunity of seeing it for themselves, FOR sr. LOUIS. In regard to the Worid’s Fair, I have often pressed that it should be . Of course, itis none of our business, but there can be no question that the number of Mexicans who attend will be far greater in the event of the United Congress settiing upon Louis than if any other city were chosen, „Louis ts ht ia the ‘center of the country from whi we would 1 draw our supplies, and is easily accessible. its selection would draw thousands of Mexicans to visit the Columbus 1 who would not otherwise at- No m that the 50 | * in ten easy You Can Learn Frech lessen d y joining the large class of readers of the sun bar Post-D1sPaTcu.

Gov. Cooper Writes a Letter of Warning t. President Barrison—What Is Though the Situation in Washington—tT,.. Stipulations That May Be 4 ended. Wrongs of the Indian. Ry Telegravh to the Post-Disraten. WasHINGTON, D. C., August 28.— The 1 citement stirred up in Western Colorado 8 the presence of Indians from the White py, Reservation shows that the antipathy of th settlers for the Utes is strong as ever. Tha the red men should leave their reservation 4 all is considered a monstrous Outrage, Gov. Cooper says in his letter of warning President Harrison, ‘‘our people are in ng temper to put up with tneir menaelng pres ence again,’’ and, indeed, some the citizens of Routt County had teld the Gor ernor that ‘‘the Indians, with their innume, able ponies and horses, have become a ny sance which we cannot longer peaceah endure. Perhaps it that EXASPERATING WEALTH OF HORSEFLESy could somehow be lessened, the white obs. ers might feel less discontented. But it woy hardly be suspected from these stateme that these parties of Indians are unde, written permission of the United St authorities. „They slaughter the deer, complain th}, settiers to Gov. Cooper, but one of the cony tions on which they gave up the old hunting-grounds, it appears, 1 that they should be allowed have certain hunting expeditions. The (oy. ernor of Colorado says that if tne Indians hay entered Routt County dy permission of th Federal authorities it is a most indefensidy crime.’’ Yet the treaty of 1874, under tie INTERPRETATION OF THE INDIANS and of at least some of the agents, authorizg them to hunt upon Colorado lands. Still, y must be admitted that if this stipulation really existsand is binding, it would be wise y make a compact by which the Indian should give up the “privilege or u more restricted in ite exercise, no that the region is becoming settled. The Utesinformer years occupied a gr part of Colorado, and as the result of succes. sive wars and treaties have been hedved iy closer and closer and pushed further Wes, until at last they have been pushed to the bu border and across it. There are between % and 5,000 of them on different reservations, Ten years ago after THE MASSACRE OF AGENT MEEKER and his employes andthe surprise of Maj, Thornburg’scommand by the White Rive hud lived in what i it was fre Reservation, the extreme pnorth western art of the State and across the line in Utah erritory. The Uncompaghres are about two score miles south at the confluence of th White and Green Rivers. Further south stin, in the southwestern corner of Colorado, vat third reservation for three bands, known col- lectively as the Southern Utes. Last year an agreement was negotiated with the Southern Utes, alter many difficu'ties, for their removal out of the State to San Jug County in Utah Territory. IT WAS THEN HOPED that the trouble between the Colorado peopis and this tribe had been put beyond danger d renewal; but in the case of Uintab and White River Utes there is still feund, it now appear, a source of grievance in the permits to leave the reservation; and an arrangement will probably be made to have them discontinued. It is quite possinle that these Indians may have recently killed cattle and may base stolen horses, as these settlers aver. bu after the Colorow affair of two years agothe Goverument authorities will hardly accept their statement without proof. That former trouble arose out of the alleged stealing of horses and the unquestionable violation of State game laws by Colorow band of roving Indians. But GEN. GEORGE CROOK REPORTED to the War Department that from the outset, with but one slight interruption, te Indians were pursued incessantiy, and in every case the whites were the aggressors and fired first. Colorow nad no desire to flaht and made use of bis weapous in self-defense only for the protection of bis women and children and his herds.’’ Gea. Crook further reported that the warrants for the Indians accused of horse stealing could have been served had the service been under taken in a proper manner, instead of by4 seizure of several Indians without explaining the object. DURING THESE HOSTILITIES the cowboys and others carried off several bun- dred horses and thousants of sheep and goats belonging to Indians for Which the Govern went was called upon to make compensation; that the present stories of Indian thieving wi} probably be received with allowance. In all events no serious trouble may de ap rehended from the present affair. Th — expenses incurred by Colorado tw ears ago will probably make it more cautiou n undertaking to interfere with reservations Indians, while the Utes, on their part, appe to be fully under the , control of their agents, in whom they haye confidence. Fort Du chasne and Fort Logan can also easily fur nish troops to prevent any breach of tht peace. A EIGHT CLOUD BURSTS. North Carolina’s Visitations Since May l- The Latest Disaster. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. CHARLOTTE, N. C., August 28 .—Cloud bursts in North Carolina this year are proving wort disastrous then ever known before in the history ofthe State. Sofar eight have been reported since May 1. The latest occurred in Richmond County Sunday night and the town of Rockingham, onthe C. &. C. Rail road, about 100 miles from this place, us tained the heaviest loss. The cloud burs about half a mile above town, right over le. dee River, and instantly the stream ws swollen out of its banks and went dashing dowr upon the town, carrying nearly every: thing before it. Several small cabins on the lower bottoms were washed away and the de- cupants were compelied to flee for their |'ves. One old negro, named Ringgold, was caught by the mad torrent and swept down to death. In places the water spread out over an ares two miles wide and many houses were set afloat. For a distance of five’ wile the C. & C. road its washed ou completely and all tel phic commanica tion is cut off by the foods. The reports at late hour to-night from the nearest point t rockingham say that great dumage has bee done to the Robordel, Great Falls, Pedee an Midway Cotton Mills. Some cotton facto are said to have been washed completely away, or so near it that they are totally rujned. It is feared that many people have been drowned, No estimate of the los-es of further particulars can be learned to-night. The Damage to the Boston. By Telegraph to the Post-Disratecn.

Ice is sell- ing in St. Louis to-day cheaper by halt than it is selling in the cities — where it is cut and from where we receive it, he continued. We are selling ice here for 40 cents a hundred, while in Quincy and Chicago it is selling for 60 to 75 cents a hundred.

We are shipping ice here, losing a greatdeal in wastage, freignt charges and extra handling ana yet sell lower than any city in this part of the coun- There is an explanation for this, of course. There is a fight on. The largest ice firm in the city has sold out all its Illinois River or barge ice at the regular price, but still has several large houses fullof Northern ice and are de- termined to sell it. Ice was $6 a ton not long ago and dropped to $4.50. This firm saw it was not getting rid of its ice fast enough and lowered the price to $4. That is ded-roek price without 21 doubt. There are houses of i ice in Chicago, Northern Jilinois, Quincy. Prairie Du Chien and Bur- liugton and it will cost $4.50 to . 88 à ton to bring thatice to St. Louls in the Cars, not counting the expense of unloading and deliv- ering. Yetif brought here this ice must sell gvuinst the Sta ton iceI have mentioned and the dealer who handles it of courss LOSES MONKFY. Iam intimately connected with a dealer who contracted for a large amount of North- ern ee at 5.25 and when he saw the war coming on and when he began to sell ice for $4 a ton, which he had paid $5.25 for, he offered $500 to the men who heid the contract, if they would allow him to draw ont, and they accepted his offer. I know of several instances of this kind where men have sold ell their interests in the ice business and turned to something else sooner than remain and lose money. This war will lust during the remainder of the summer, Ithink. Three weeks ago every pound of ice owned or controlled by St. Louis parties amounted to 80,000 tons. The consumption is eld to be 1,000 tons a day, and at that rate allthe ice in view will only last during the next month. What the result of this war will bel cannot say, except that it is going to make some men poor, and ia not going to méekethe firm which has made the cut any, richer. The firm referred to as having BEGUN THE WAR is the Huse & Loomis Iles & Transportation Co. Mr. Luther Loomis was seen in his office thismorning and he seemed disgusted and tired, as indeed he expressed himself to be. here is no war among the ice men, he said. he prices have been going down since spring, and since August 1 Dave fallen Aa ton. I told you last spring that this was going to happen, and it bas. Butthe public do not see and neither do the newspapers. The price has been falling all summer, and not a word has been printed about itexcept to say that the ice pool was robbing the publie. I believe if we gave ice away with a chromo the newspapers would claim we were making apront. Iwill tell you honestly and truth- fully thatnot an ice-dealer is making money in tuis city to-day, and that the people are getting ¢heir ice cheaper and of a better qual- itythanfor many years past. This war you talk about is no more than a general rush of dealers: to get rid of their ice and get out of the business. Small dealers in the surrounding States and in our own State have been holding their ice all summer expecting the supply to failshort because of a poor winter and ex- pected a raise in prices. Instead of that the supply bas been equal to the demand and the prices have gone down outof sight. Now all these dealers are rushing in trying to get rid oftheir les at any price. Why, I have known c to be sold at the cars for 2 cents a hundred. It rad been sent lor during the warm weather and the teinperature changed. Sooner than leave it meitaway onthe track the owner sold it to prevent a total loss. Ice is being sold in wagons to small consumers in Chicago to-day for 50 cents a hundred. Thesame ice has been shipped to this city and delivered for 30 cents. Is there any money in that for the ice dealer?

The traders on the Merchants’ Exchange who dabble in grain options opened their eyes this morning to the possibility of a corner“ that seemed developing in this market. The grain thus threatenea is wheat, the option in danger is August and the parties who are liable to be squee most of them well-known opera 2 local pit. That August wheat was oversold in this market has been an open secret on the floorfor some time, and also thatthe wheat thus sold sbort was all owin to one concern nere. This firm is 8. W. Cobb & Co., who have it bought for account of Wm. Dann u leading exporting house of Chicago. amount of wheat owing 8. W. Codb & Co. ust contracts cannot be definitei ut is supposed to be inthe neighborhood halt a million bushels, 0 course wheat was originally bougbt for export, at any rate that is the longs claim, and the oftheshorts todeliver the wheat they sold leaves intact the line of shorts Cobb & Co. hold and gives them aspiendid opportunity torun a corner, it they so desire. The stock of No. 2 red in store here is only 440,000 bu and most of this is held by exporters, so that if the longs wish to squeeze the shorts | seems as though they would have no trouble in doing 80. Whether | they will do so they alone know, of course. | Mr. Cobb is out of the city, but his partner, | Mr. Will Gardner, was seen on the floor. When informed that his firm was credited with having sinister designs against the mar- ket and the peace of mind and bank accounts | of the August wheat shorts, Gardner smiled sweetly and remarked, ‘‘Why, you surprise me. We have no such idea—the idea. Indeed, indeed, you do us wrong.’’ ‘*You have some August wheat bought, haven't you?’’ he was asked. ‘‘A few, a very few. Have we bought it for export? Weil, you can see it is goinggut all the time.’’ ) Further than this Mr. Gardner would not go, —— he would not commit himself to any - ng. The way the price of August wheat was A at, of this some one party up 50,000 busheis at 670. whooper up was Sid Francis, which appeared rather strange to the traders, as it was floor gossip that the D. R. Francis & Bro. Commission Co. was the principal short for August. Sid Francis, when spoken to regarding this report, sald: We were sbort but I bought in and at present we stand net long.“ Who tbe actual shorts are cannot well be ar- rived at. The actual shortage in a market and the men who owe the grain is never known until the deal culminates. A ‘‘corner’’ is not altogether certain even now in August wheat. The shorts may be frightened into settling up before the last | of the month arrives, and the deal after ail amount to a simple sxeeze. One fact that leads pit traders to look for a real corner“ is that Dunn 4 Co., the present longs for Au- gust, were the principal shorts in July corn that Orthwein Bros. squeezed last month. It is believed they will be only too giad ofan opportunity to squeeze out of the pockets of the August wheat sharks the money they were forced to lose in the July corn deal. It is stated that Dunn has vessels chartered and now at New Orleans waiting for the wheat that never comes. The object in this is to set up the same claim Orth- wein was so successful in establishing, that the failure ofthe July shorts to deliver the corn they owed made it impossible for the longs—Orthwein Kros—to carry out their con- tracts and they thus incurred damages for de- murrage on vessels held at New Orleans. This was a potent factor in influencing the decision ofthe committees that gave Orthwein Bros. all they claimed when the deal was arbitrated.

Chief of Police Anton Huebler returned from Milwaukee last night and laughed heart- lly when shown the account of she manner in which a Centra! District blue-eqat endeavored to catch a burglar. The item, as printed, was to the effect that a gentleman living near Twentieth and Lucas avenue, having been de- tained at his business until 8:30 o’clock a. m. Sunday, lita lamp and went into the cellar of his residence to partake of a littie lunch. Having finished his nocturnal repast, he sought his couch and slept undisturbed. The next morning a stalwart bluecoat put in an appearance atthe house and inquired what had been stolen the previous night. Upon being informed that everything in the house was intact and undisturbed the astonished officer explained that the patrolman on the night relief had reported that the residence had been entered by burg- lars, be having seen a light moving sus- piciously from room to room at an early hour.

The Significance of the Government’s Bend Purchases Discovered. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. New YORK, August 28.—Wall street men who thought that Monday’s purchase of $1,500,000 Government bonds oy the Treasury Department had special siguificance in it felt sure of their suspicions yesterday when there came an official announcement from Washing- ton that $5,000,000 more bonds had been bought. The price was the same as that of Monday, $1.28. Wall street regards these large purchases — far larger than anything of the sort done by the present Treasury administration prior to Secretary Windom’s visit to New York a week ago— Wall street regards them as evidence that an agreement has been reached by virtue of which the Treasury Department has decided to stand by Wall street and help keep the money market easy. That, if undertaken, would make it comparatively easy, according tothe popular idea, to institute a bullish stock market. President Baker of the First National Bank—popularly called Fort Sher- inan — said esterday that his bank has arge stock bonds on hand. He added pleasing compliment: ‘‘I think Secretary Windom is using just the right policy. He is getting a — 4 good supply of bonds at present prioes, and there seems no reason or likelihood of his advancing the rate.’’ It is generally believed that by far the great- er part of the bonds just bought by the Treas- ury has come direct from the much talked about ‘‘bankers’ pool. Wall street pro- pliesies that the big purchases are not over yet.

Board will meet to-morrow evening for the purpose of making appointments to fill the Vacancies caused by resignation and dis- missal. There are thirty-two vacancies now to be filled, and the prospect is that there will be a great many more before schoo! opens. Supt. Long said this morning that he expected the number of vacancies would be considerably increased by resigna- tions before the schools opened. It is because resignations are generally sent in at the last moment that the Teachers Committee de- fers making appointments as long as possi- ble. Should the number of vacancies reach fifty, which the Superintendent said he thought quite probable, there will be eighty positions to fill this year, as thirty new rooms Are to be opened. Room will thus be made for nearly allthe Normal graduates of 1888, the January class numbering forty-one and the June forty-two, or eighty-three in all. OTRS.

[2 RESULT OF TO-DAY’S RACES AT THE SARATOGA TRACK. | The Browns Win and the Brooklyns Lose Yesterday— Boston Still Forging Ahead in the League—Dempsey’s Defeat—A Quick Knock-Out in the East—Base Ball, Kac- ing and Other Sports. HE colors of Jack Dempsev have at last been lowered. Theun- disputed hero of nearly sixty fights and glove contests has at last been conquered. His victor, George Le Blanche, is aman whom the ‘‘Non- pareil’’ once whipped in thirteen rounds, fought inside of an hour, March 14,1886. Skin gloves were then used, but the fight was under Queensberry rules. The last fight was governed by the same rules, but waa with large gloves. The » Marilue, it was thought, would make a better showing with large gloves. This sur- mise proved correct, for he whipped his old conqueror. The battle was by nv means a re- flection on Dempsey’s ability as a fighter. From the start he had the better of his antag- onist and showed himself to be clearly his superior even with ‘‘pil-_ lows.’’ He had his man practically whipped and would have knocked him out almost toa certainty inside of three more rounds had he not in a moment of over confidence received an unexpected chance blow which cost him the fight. The blow which knocked him out was clearly a fluke, and La Blanche’s vie- tory was purely ,accidental. Had the fight been with skin gloves or bare knuckles, however, instead of large gloves, the Marine would never have lasted long enough to ad- minister a chance blow in the thirty-second round. Dempsey does not lose the middle- weight championship by the battle as La Blanche was over weight for a battle of that class under Queensberry rules, which governed their meeting. The Nonpareil conceded him ten pounds in the fight, the Marine weighing 161 pounds to his 151 pounds. Anumberof times La Blanche fouled him by wrestling and striking him in the breakaway, while Dempsey fought fairly under the rules throughout except once, when he returned afoul blow struck him after the gong had rung the end of the round. Despite these handicaps Dempsey had the fight almost en- tirely his own way until he received the chance blow which knocked him out. The fight merely proves how an inferior man may sometimes whip a superior man through an accident. Although beaten, Dempsey more clearly than ever proved himseif worthy the title of middle-weight champion. As he had already defeated La Blanche once there was no glory for him in the fight and he was Dattling for the purse only. To a man who has fought so often and has never losta battle, afiret defeat must be a crushing blow. Winners at Saratoga To-Day. SARATOGA, N.

A CHANCE BLOW DID IT, JACK DEMPSEY KNOCKED OUT BY LA BLANCHE, THE MARINE After Having His Man Almost Finished, the Nonpareil Receives a Blow in the Thirty- Second Round, Whieh Puts Him to Sleep —La Bianche’s Unfair Tactics—Dempsey Still Champion, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., August 29. ACK DEMPSEY, the YY Nonpareil, lost his first battie here last night, when he was knockea out by George LaBlanche, the Marine. The fight “> was to have been fora ' purse of $6,500, offered dy the California Athletic Club, andthe middle-weight cham- pionsh ip of the world, “ which title Dempsey has long held. As =the Nonpareil only weighed 151 pounds and the Marine tipped — the, scales at 1861 N pounds, the master of ceremonies announced that the fight would be for the purse only, and not for middle-weight championship. Both men appeared in fine trim when they entered the ring. Denny Cos- tigan and Dave Campbell were Dempsey’s seconds, while John Donaldson and Paddy Gorman looked after La Bianche’s interests. Dempsey had been a big favorite at odds on him ranging from $100 0 $75 to $100 to $40, Two thousand people witnessed the battle, the drill hall of the National Guards baving been secured especially for the occasion. Hiram Cook, who referees all contests before the California Athletic Club, officiated in this ca- pacity last night. Despite La Blanche’s weight Dempsey had all the better, of the fight until the thirty-second round, when a chance blow of the Sarine knocked him out, It was a great surprise to everyboay. The fight was under Marquis of Queensbury rules with four- ounce gloves, After the usual preliminary ‘set-tos between lesser lights the men appeared iInthering at 9:30 p. m., and five minutes later they shook hands and the hostilities began. THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS. The first round was characterized by cau- tious sparring. La Blanche led acouple of times, landing lightly on Dempsey’s wind the second time. The round closed in a ollunch. A short blow of Dempsey on the Marine’s chest opened the second round. They clinched, and La Blanche caught the Non- pareit in the side, When they had broken Dempsey registered with his right on his op- ponent’s jaw. There was another clinch,and the Marine slipped to the floor.

La Blanche opened the sixth round by litt. ing Dempsey on his hip and trying to throw him to the floor. Astorm of hisses greeted his unfair tactics and loud cries of foul were heard. Severalrushes by La Blanche closed the round. The claim of foul was not allowed. In the seventh La Blanche landed three or four blows on Dempsey’s jaw and received in return two heavy left-handers on the chin. After Dempsey had landed heavily twice on the Marine’s ear ln the eighth round the men clinched and in the breakaway La Blanche struck Dempsey a stinging blow on the jaw, stazgering him. There were more cries of foul, but the claim was not allowed. Spirited fighting at close quarters closed the round. La Blanche clinched with Dempsey in the ninth and threw him heavily to the floor. There was another cry of foul went up, but it was not allowed. The Nonpareil gave the Marine asharp upper cut and a moment later received a blow in the neck in return. The Marine opened the tenth round with more rushes, but Dempsey stopped him twice with staggering blows on the jaw. After the song had rung the close ot the round, the Murine struck Dempsey a hard blowin the face. The Nonpareil walked over to his op- ponent’s corner and hit hima blow on the neck that made bim groggy. Rounds 11 and 12 were merely a series of clinches. In the thirteenth Dempsey landed three heavy blows with his right onthe Marine’s jaw and followed them with a righthander on the ribs. The round closed by Dempsey striking La Blanche on the neck and receiving in return a blow on the chest. Dempsey registered several times on the Marine’s jaw in the fourteenth round, and La Blanche appeared a little unsteady. Dempsey did some rushing in the fifteenth round, but La Blanche always clinched with him. Then the latter took to rushing and got in one stinging blow above the Nonpareil’s ye. The Marine was aggressive in the next round and there were several clinches in which he came out second best. A terrific blow on his nose was delivered by Dempgey near the close of the round. In round eighteen La Blanche got in on Dempsey’s cheek and wind and received in return four stinging rigut-handers on the jaw and neck. Dempsey landed heavily on the Marine’s neck seven times in the nineteenth round, the last blow sending him te the floor. It was the first clean knock-down of the fight and was greeted with uproarious appionse. La Blanche showed the effects of his punish - ment lu tbe twentieth round, but opened with two hard swinging blows. There was no bit- ting done in the round, r landed heavily on the Marine's neck five times in round twenty-first and avoided his opponent's vicious biows. Again in round twenty-two Dempsey forced the fighting, bammering La Biancheon the same place in the neck low the chin, where he bad been hitting him for several rounds, La Blanche was weak in the twenty-third round and let Dempsey do ali the fighting. In the twenty-fourth round the Marine pounded the Nonpareil on the ribs during a clinch, but little was done in the round. Nothing was done in the twenty Afth round. Dempsey forced the Marine into his corner in the twenty-sixth round aud pounded him on the neck until La Blanche like a drunken man, A knock-out seemed inevi. table. Near the close, however, the Marine whirled around and caught Dempsey a nard one on the neck.

He forced La Bianche into a corner and pound ed him unmercifully. The latter received etag- gering blows on the head and neck, but stood up under them well. The men gradually worked to the center ofthe ring, and while Dempsey still continued to find La Blanche's neck, the latter whirled around suddenly and caught him a terrific blow on the jaw. The Nonpareil' went down like ashot. He fell heavily upon his face and the blood spurted out upon the floor of thering. Ten seconds went by amid intense excitement. Démpsey struggied bravely to rise, but before he had reached his feet, weak and staggering. the time had expired and the referee awarded the fight to La Bianche. The sudden términa- tion of the fight was a surprise to every man in the club-room. A chance blow lost Dempsey tbe battle at a time when it seemed the Marine was in his power.
