A Survey of the Wisconsin Field. Milvavkee, Wis., Aug. 25.— A careful survey of the political field develops the fact that beneath the apparent popular indiffer ence, powerful factors are working to secure the legislature, this fall's election being the first under ths biennial session law. The fight throughout the state will undoubtedly turn largely upon the question of prohibition in all assembly districts, also surely in Guenther's congressional district, where Kanouse, presi dent of the National Temperance organi claims already 2,000 votes as certain. The anti-prohibitionists organized recently as the Wisconsin Protective association, mak ing efforts to establish branches throughout the 6tate. If the Republicans encourage the temperance issue, which will undoubtedly be done in sonic llocalitiess s the Protective associa tion will receive almost the entire German vote, thus drawing largely upon the Republi cans. The Protective association is commonly mistaken as a liquor dealer organization and is accordingly underrated. It embraces the liberal elements of both the leading parties, principally Germans, and is likely on this ac count to force the nationality question. It is an important factor in this, the Fourth con gressional district, numbering 1,500 mem ber* and claiming 8,000 votes. The Trades' assembly is only important la their district, polling nearly 6,000 vote In the First congressional district, Charles <_•. Williams, present Republican incumbent, is already renominated. Chances are un doubtedly certain for election. In the Second E. W. Kejes is manipulating the local delegations successfully against the present incumbent, Hazelton, with chances favorable for his nomination. The district is almost certainly Republican. The Demo cratic chance was frustrated t-y Vila's refusal to accept the nomination. Biigge, late can didate for attoiney general, is likely to be the Democratic nominee. The Third is etionj'ly Democratic, -with scarcely any interest loped in favor if Republicans..!! Braeg'* chances are good, but they are thought to be impaired by Miits brought by the proprietor of the Tie toont house, Chicago, for money advanced ii(>on dishonored drafts of Bragg. Upon the sergeant at-arms of the house of representatives a bitter personal light for the nomination is going on between Bragg and Delaney, with the chances favorable for the former. In the Fourth district the Republi can nominee is almost certain to be Isaac W. Vanschaick, against the present Democratic incumbent Deuster. The situation is badly mixed up and Dut6ter has incurred the dislike of the Trades' assembly through hia paper, the Scebote, a German afternoon daily, which op posed the striking cigar makers. The Trades' assembly will nominate their own candidate, thus strengthening the Republican chances. The Protective association only favors a can didate who, like Deuster, distinctly pledges himself to favor their alms, and their sup port is likely to be thrown in favor of the Democratic nominee. The Fifth district i. strongly Democratic. The con test for nomination ia between Ran kin and Iludd, with the chances in favor of the former. Iq the Btxfh district Gothrie'e flue present Kcpubllcan incumbent! r-.uuimnaUon is doubt 'ul, on account of his strong opposition to tht Prohibitionists. Tht lattei are willing to sac- Mfiue luiuouse for th' nomination, if the Rn pnhiifl— nominate Tai net or Bowmau, both a<e favorable to the temperance cause. On the other hand, there is doubt of Republican pucce6s without GuthtrieV renomiuation. If the Prohibitionist.: nominate, the Demo• -• ratiu chances are not unfavorable, llabtn, mayor of Oshkosh, is the probable Demo cratic nominee. The Seventh district is undoubtedly Repub lican. Iliion, of LaCrosse, has lifteendele estes of the nineteen necessary to a nomina tion certain. It is eaid he is uuablo to secure tba other four. Senator lliomaa is second ia strength. He is liberal, but he is opposed bo tuuse he is a railroadman. The probable compromise candidates, are Butt, of Vnoqua, or Welch of Baraboo. Iq the Eighth district Price has received the Republican nomination, which is equal to an flection. Under the full Republican and Tro bifutionisU-' strength no Democratic candi date is mentioned. The Ninth is a new district considered Re publican, but the Democrats are putting for ward powerful eflorts, detracted from" by a Greenback nominatian. The Uepublican nom inee will probauly be Isaac .Steveson, of Mari nette, against the Democratic, Btlvertttorne, of vvausou. or Judge Parks, of Stevens l'oint, probably Ihe foroici . The legittjature m ez|iectc(f to Jote its large Republican majority. II is au luteiebtiug tight on account of the ptohlbttion issue, which will likely l>e victorious in country ili^trictß not specifically German. The Republican central committee la»f UW openly cut loose from th- pioliibitiouifis, but is expected this fa)! lo Meaance it in come l<». dities. The protection sseocuiiioii wi«l spate no meana whatever, to secure the leci6iature. Jt is kuown secittly that tlie .National Brewers' Hseociation will assist. The prohibitionists ha\* astrong organization to put in the field >•_ iust the amobt unlimited land of their op j-unents. An iDieresting pha?e is the nation •'iv question. PromiaeDt Hermans object Rtrongly to having it dragged into the cam piign, but th; prohibitionists force the issue. This matter will be out; object of discus sion. OThc Republican central committee is called to meet on September 15. Good Tcinvlars in Politic*. Itaaca, N. V., Aug. 21.— At the session of the grand lodge of Good Templars the follow ing was unanimously adopted: Jicsolvcd, That we recommend to the friends of temperance throughout the state to care fully ascertain how each Citnliddte for assem bly and senate of the various parties 6t>ud upon the question of the submission of a con stitutional amendment forever prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor hr a beverage to a vote of the people, and to vite only for.such canaidate-s as will favor Mich submission. Republican* in Doubt. St. Louis, Aug. 24.— The Republican slate central committee met here this morning and held an o]>cn session, at which there was a pretty general discussion of «he question of culling a state convention. From the state ments made by members of the committee and by the general tenor of their remarks it would seem that a large majority of the Re publican voters in the state oppose a conven tion. The committee will hold an executive sa*6iou this afternoon, at which definite action on the question will be taken. The committee, at its session this afternoon, ■denied, by a vote of 28 to 8, not to call a state convention. The individual members of the minority, who cay the voters in their districts «re decidedly in favor of a convention, will rally themselves with the popular movement inaugurated at Jefferson City some days ago, anil through which a call for a convention will be made independent of the state com mittee. £t. Louis, Aug. 25.— The Globe- Democrat, referring to the action of the state committee jesterday, says editorially this morning:; The heoubUcan state central committee of Mis souri to all intents and purposes departed this iife yctterday. Its usefulness is as complete ly gone as that of an old fashioned broken lunK note. By its unwarranted assumption in pr Burning to exert a power that was never granted to it it forfeited its right to exist and its mandate* will be heeded by the Republican musses in the slate no more than if they were so much waste paper. The foreknowledge of I be cut and dried action of the committee was -utthieiit of itself to start a strong and over whelming movement in the party toward the holding of a convention and it was only kept id cherk V) give ihe committee a chauo' to establish its loyalty and to render untenable auy possible charge of inconsistency. Now that the committee ha? seen fit to throw away the chance the delayed preparations for the convention will go on with due celerity, and that the convention will be carried out bucccsefuUy, no one who understands the present temper ol the vast majority of the Re publicans in the state can doubt. .1 Bolt in Texas. A.OWDT, Texas, Aug. 25.— Tt« convention of the Tenth «. ongrepsioual district nominated flohn Hancock by acclamation. The Upson delegates representing twenty out of fifty-two rotes, would only consent to enter the con vention upon the condition that Hancock's name be withdrawn, which being refused, they left in a body.

There was a goodly gathering of peoule at the Alheoicum last evening to listen to a con cert given by Seiberto orchestra, assisted by the German societies. The programme was a very rich one and abounded in good things. The orchestral work was very excellent and there was a good deal of it. The concert sold by Aug. Tilleman, like everything he does, was splendid. The violin solo by Mr. Muehlenbruch was an exceedingly difficult one, aDd with all its rapid runs, its double stope, and harmonics, he conquered it and prcseutcd it in fine style. Mr. Muehlenbruch possesses wonderful skill on the violin, and it is just such selections as the one last evening that give him an opportunity to display his ability. niOGKAMME TO-DAY. The gjmnastic exercises will be continued to-day at Schade's park, and in the evening there will be a grand ball at the Ataen<cum. FILCHING FUR JFVIf- Prigged for a Practical .1 -Hniry Jd« Plays ISii-Khir and O«ts Lfft A Kngle Hlast f com <;->brll. Henry Ide, a f ourtten- year-old bell boy, was arrested in the Metrep hotel yesterday on a chat Re of st aling 15 from Frank Gabril, another I. 11 boy. Gabril stated to Judge Burr that he was lying asleep with his vest, containing two pocket book", under his head. One purse contained 55 cents in silver, the other enclosed a V. The chink of coin awakened him at 10:80 o'clock in the night and he called out to Henry Ide and George Davenport, who were lying on a bed with their clothes on, to render unto him the things which were his, whereupon the two pocket books were thrown to him, but though the silver was intact, the paper money was gone. J Ide stated that he took the pocket books but did it as a joke. Geo. Davenport Lad ex amined the pocket books but had not found any paper money in cither of them. He could vouch for George as a boy who wouldn't steal anything, except in fun, and one who always refurned plunder taken jokingly Gabril had been a butt of ridicule for all the boys, and they had felt safe in taking little liberties with him both while awake and asleep. No one ever expected a friendless boy like Gabril to blow his horn. Yet the horn had been blown, and though it was painful to send one so young to jail, the youthful experimenter in the art burglarious was held over to await the action of the grand jury. Has St. Taul a Mr. Bergh? A large crowd gathered al. the corner of Third and Siblf-y streets at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and lingered for over an hour lo witness the sufieriugs of <* miserable horse that had fal'en in harness from heat and over work, aud lay writhiDg pitifully in the mud. The ann imal had been one of a U-ara hitehe<l to a load of bricks, said to be the property of a Mr. Kleinfelter. The miserable animal" was bled and then left to wallow in iU own gore. The harrowing nature of the ppecUrk was intensified by the fact that one of the poor creature's eyes was out. and all of hie ribs were veiy nearly out. Late at night the horse still lay in the street gasping out incoherent arguments in f*vor of a society for the preven tion of incapacity on the part of the anti cruelly organizations. Daily DIVIDING A RICH DOMAIN. Statement of the Astonishing Rapid Rate at Which the Public Land of the Country is Filling Up— Merrick Goes on Talking to the Packed Jury— Red Cloud on His Ear and Ready to Eat an Agent or Two- Bonds Called In—General Washington News, Disposing of the Public Domain. Washington, Aug. 25.— A statement of the disposal of public lands during the fiscal year ended June SO, has been prepared at the general land office and shows that the total number of acres disposed of is 15,699,848. This is an increase over last year of about five million acres. The cash received for this land aggregates about $8,361,091, against $5,000, --000 for the la6t fiscal year. The number of acres entered for agricultural purposes as cash sales during the year amounted to 3,699,899 acres; for mineral pur poses, 57,068,010 acres; desert lands, 166,'J55 acres; coal lands 7,194 acres.and 6,847, --720 acres were entered under the homestead laws, while 2,216,244 acres were "proved up" under the same laws, under the timber cul ture acts 3,609,793 acres were entered and "Droved up;" under the various land warrants, railroad grant, school and state election acts, (including various kinds of scrip) 615,866 acres were disposed of. The great increase iv the disposition of public lands during the past fiscal year is said to be owing to the Jimmense tide of immigra tion in the northwest, in Dakota more noticeable than in any other state or territory. A very large increase is also noticeable in Louisiana and Florida. The area of state and railway selections Is more complete than ever before, and this adds greatly to the aggregate disposed of during the past year. The area of cash sales in Dakota alone amount to 698,094 acres, and the homestead entries in the same territory are over 2,000,000 acres. The re turns from several local offices are not in for the month of June, and the areas and amounts in those instances have been esti mated. Merriek Continues. Washington, Aug. 25.— the star route trials Merrick resumed his argument for the prosecution this morning. During his argu ment he had a sharp discussion with Mr. Hinkle, counsel for the defense, when the court decidsd that Merrick's remarks were de cidedly objectionable. Merrick continued his line of argument, when Hinkle objected. Mr. Merrick said that Dorsey having stolen money from the treasury kept it back from the sub-contractor, defrauding the treasury on one hatd and his employe on the other. The proposition laid down by Secretary Tel ler, that the people of the West were as much entitled to speedy mail facilities as the people cf tha East, be regarded as the wild remark of a man eecking popularity among his own constituents. Commercial transactions needed rapidity of communication. Wall street must communicate with all parts of the United States and the world with great rapidity. With due regard to the men who operate there, 1 believe it communicates with rapidity with the world below. The Western farmer asked no special rapidity of communication. He was not en titled to the same mail that tho people of the East required. Court adjourned till Monday, when Mr. Merrick will conclude bis address. Red Cloud's Terms ■ Washington, Aug. 25.— The following let ter has been received at the war department. Fort Robinson, Neb., Aug. 24.— Red Cloud says he has given the Indian depart ment 6ixty days' notice, in which tme be wants au investigation and the agent removed, or he will, with bis followers, put the agent off by force, and the department must be re sponsible if an outbreak follows. Red Cioud ia cool but determined. He has quite a following, which I am informed, is daily increasing. Something should be done at oflce to counteract this influence, otherwise trouble is sure to follow, the extent of which cannot be foreseen. A little more strength heie at Fort Niobrara would be judicious and should be ordered at once. This would strengthen the Indian department without interference from tbe United States, and might save tbe United Gates great expense and trouble. [Bigned) Sdmner, Mdj.

Splendid Crop Prospects— The "Boom" at Ada— The Nelson Oime to Secure the Nomination of a Democratic Candidate— The True Inwardness of Washburn's Bed Lake Bill— How "ihe btrampat of Cor ruption" Is Stalking Through the Land— [Correspondence Bt. Paul Globe.] Ada, Aug. 23.— Harvesting is under full headway hero and never were the prospects of a good crop better than now. Of course tbe interest taken in tbe securing of the crop for tbe time dwarfs every other topic usu ally found to possess interest. Even tbe con gressional fight is for the time made to take a bick seat and the former is greater in the public mind than tbe statesman. This county of Norman is a great and rich county, and Ada, its county 6eat, is one ct the best towns in tbe valley. It is booming right ahead and no man can foretel its future greatness. It is a great Kindred town. There is but cae Nelson man in town who is not a Scan dinavian, and I have not found a tingle man who was not a Norwegian who wants to see a Democrat nominated. It is quite amusing to hcai some of those Norwegians, who never iv their lives voted a Democratic ticket, urging the Democrats to nominate. of tbem&aidto me to-day: "Well, the Democrats have a good chance to elect a member of congress this fall," and before I left him he declared that Nelson wae sure to be elected. W T hen I bear a man, sot a Democrat, say that be hopes the Demo crats will nominate for they have a good chance to elect tbeir man, I t>et him down for « liar and a Nelson man. He is a Nelson man, first because he would not want a Democrat nom'nated if be was not sure tbat such a course would help his candidate and no one is fool enough to believe that Nelson can carry Democratic rotes to amount to anything, and he is a liar for wishing to see a Democrat nominated if be thought he could beat bis Republican candidate. The people of this country aie almost en tirely Republican in politics. They are an intelligent class of people on the whole, and most of them who are not ruled by clan are disposed to snppjrt Mr. Kindred as a means of defeating Wasbum's scheme of absorption as contemplated on the Red lake pine lands. Common lumber is worth from $22 to $25 per thousand at this town, while if that vast region of tine timber were open to purchase under the regular law lo that each individual who wished might locate a quarter sfction, it would be cut and for sale here, part of it in less thin one year, at from $7 to $10 lees. This the crafty Wash knows full well, and as it would practically withdraw this valley from the market at Minneapolis and ether points whtre their riDg are located and conse quently depreciate the price of lumber, ha as the representative of the pine land ring (lo which he himself belongs) and not of the people proposes to prevent the people horn obtaining one foot of this land if he can. He and tbe gang be rep resents would rather, as has been said before, pay $50 per acre than let it go into foreign hands. His bill, which Knute Nelson will eupport if elected, would allow the ring to buy the lot entire, when, t© prevent depreciating their home market, they would float the cut in the log to Manitoba, where no American citizen could have .the benefit of a foot of it. It is because Mr. Kindred will not become a party to this steal that the entire ring are op posing him with all the thunder a corrupt gang like them know so well from pact ex perience how to handle. Daily evidence of the abundant funds used in the widence of the "iefee" candidate (Nelson) multiply every day. Silvens are subsidized unstinting!}', men are riding around the coun try in livery rigs in Nelson's interest, and on every band tokens of a free cash campaign are daily accumulating- The conundrum I wish to propound is, "Where does it come rom Evidently not from . the impecuneous and obscure country lawyer at Alexandria, who lacked honest votes enough to give him a square nomina tion at Detroit Who has interest enough in -; the election of a bolter 1 like him to put money into the matter with so liberal a hand ? Does the congressional national committee usually furnish their funds to a bolting candidate? Under cover of a great noise about the barrel which they say Mr. Kindred has opened they are themselves conducting a financial campaign with all that the name implies. Later in the campaign when the people get time to think soberly of these matters they will rise up and kick the Minneapolis pine land ring out of the Fifth district. They will cry ' hands off" to the gentleman from Minne apolis who has his digcts encased in kids and is vainly trying to retain his grip on this vast empire of northern Minnesota by electing his willing slave and abject tool, Knuete Nelson, to congress. - S.LI.

Inthedetailfc Woolsley 6ay«; ' 4 I advanced in the morning before daybreak with the house hold cavalry, two horse artillery guns, thirty mounted infantry, 1,500 men from York and Lancaster regiments and tbe marines. After some 6kirmishing I took possession of the dam which tbe enemy bad constructed across the canal between tbe villages of Magfar and Mobnta. During the operations two squad rons of household cavalry charged the ene my's broken infantry very gallantly. I 6oon found that tbe enemy were being largely reinforced from Tel el Kebir. I could Bee trains arriving. I thoughi it inconsistent with traditions for the queen's army to retire before any number of Egyptians, and 60 de cided to hold my ground until reinforcements arrived. All day long I have bad an Egyptian force of 10,000 men with two guns in my front and on my right flank. The precision of the enemy's artillery fire was very good, but fortunately they fired common shell near ly all day, and when they did fire shrapnel their fuses were badly adjusted. Tbe enemy bad tbeir cavalry regiments in line. Tbe borses having been recently on board ship were not in condition to gallop much. The two-horse artillery guns were served with pluck and ability. Our casualties have been slight. Capt. Hal lam Parr was wounded through the leg; Lord Melgund received a wound through the band. Capt. Paris, of the mounted infantry, distinguished himself. All the troops en gaged did well. Friday I shall attack the enemy's position at Holenthe, and hope to take a position on the dam, which they con structed there this morning.

Constantinople, Aug. 25.— Lord Dufferin, Said Pasha and Aseym Fbsha, in yielding to the objections of the sultan were prepared to waive the demand that any movement of Tur kish troops must first be approved by the Bnti3h. jDiillerin proposed that the English and Turkish commanders should first deliber ate together and if fie English general should not approve the proposed operatiocs, the Turkish commander would still be at liberty to carry them out. Said Pasha then urged that the landing of Turkish troops in Alexan dria was indispens able for the further action of the two armies. He suggested that the Turks would make Alexandria, which the English would evacuate, their base of opera tious, while the British base should be Ismalia as far as regarded the military. This is the only point of difference between Lord Dufferin and the porte. Alexandria, Aug. 25.— Dimietta has been captured.

It was universally pronounced one of the best animal and circus exhibitions that ever struck this town. At the night performance Mr. A. L.

To barely mention each separate wonder by name would fiil a column, without dwelling upon the particularly high merit of any. Tne circus will show at Rochester, Fergus Falls, and other neighboring places, and in about h week will start for the far south. A Home for a Business Man.

SFSER OUT OF 111S PROPER SPHERE. Which is Probably St. Peter- He Rubs a Muck ia the merchants and Is Relegated to the Police Station . Merchants hotel was thrown into a commo tion about 1 o'clock this morning by a very original individual who 6tyled himself Robert B. Speer, who had been assigned to a cot in a loom occupied by a number of cotters. With out cause, p rovocation or timely warning, Speer ran through the corridors crying "Murder, murder, bioody murder," He did not content himself with disturbing the occu pants of one floor, but ran up and down the stairways like one pursued by the animals in Cole's menagerie. Some of the least timid guests imagined liat a bona title case of homi cide was being developed and sallied forth hastily armed with everything they could lay hands on from a camp chair to a 22 --caliber (rim-fire) revolver. Meanwhile, Bpeer was climbing toward the roof, and did actu ally get out upon the top of the hotel, but the moon seemed to make faces at him, and he scampered back, "like hell beating tan bark." to use a a very chaste comparison. Plunging into the ladies' "toilet,"' Bpeer slammed the door, locked it, and stood at bay, with a t Dittoon in his hand. How the spittoon got into the ladies' "toilet" could not be exactly ex plained so close on to going to press, but it was there when Officers O'Connor and Gib bons arrived, ab the first-named found when he looked through the transom. Speer wanted to clean the officers out, but be ing convinced that it wasn't possible be walked submissively to the central station, and was given a room all to himself. A couple of handaful of small coins and beer checks were found in his clothes, indicating that he was a barkeeper gone wrong. Kl< « Park Concert.
