Wheat was quoted at lc@2c lower on 'change yesterday, and spot oats advanced lc. Milwau kee wheat declined % c. At Chicago wheat was fie lower for July and %c for August and Sep tember; corn was JJc lower for July and lc for August, and «c for September. Oats closed at 309,{c for July and 27J£c for August. Pork was stronger, and closed at $19.25@518.25 for July and August. The stock market opened dull and irregular and declined % to IV, per cent. A short rally was followed by a bearish raid, and at the close the general list was from % to 4% per cent, lower than Wednesday. The exceptions were Oregon Transcontinental, Lackawana and Missouri Pacific, which were from % to & per cent, higher. In unanimously adopting a resolution in favor of the nomination of Mr. Tilden, the Ohio Democracy put themselves In good po sition. General Sherman will not vote forßlaine after all. He says he never voted but once, and then he voted wrong, and he j wont try it again. ' The Atlanta Constitution thinks that if Tammany desires to support Blame it should come to the front and say bo. It might as well be frank about it. . ; • ■•■ . KTiie Philadelphia Telegraph, which ;is warmly supporting Blame, frankly says that "the nomination of Cleveland will mean the most desperate political battle in the history of the country." Let it come. The Albert Lea Standard of the 25th in at says that upon the personal request of James G. Blame, and approved by the national Re publican committee Hon. M. H. Dnnnell will stnmp New York and other doubtful states for Blame and Logan, in the campaign soon to open. ■ Sunset Cox says if Henry B. Payne is nominated he will be elected. Mr. Cox says he has no idea that Payne is a candidate, but if he should become such, "then look out for some music that will make Blame of 1 Maine sing soft and low when the people thunder for Payne." Ixdex noyes sends word all the way from Paris that the nomination of Blame pleases him exceedingly. This must be comforting news to the man in the Crab-apple orchard. When all the tatood men are in line, there will be quite a string; of them.

One fifth of the number were marriageable women, and the ' remaining portion were men and women already married. ■ Mormonism is un derstood to be a popular American institu tion, and the Missionaries sent abroad have little trouble in securing accessions. Yet the Republican platforms propose to smite the peculiar institution hip and thigh. Thh Repubiic^nTUnited States District At torney for North Carolina states that if he is furnished $15,000 he can give the electoral vote of that state to Blame. The : fellow is very modest, though perhaps his j idea is that if he can get that much for - a starter he can bleei the jay. Gould Star-routs crowd for more. •; If he had put his figures higher he would be more respected. How' an ; adverse majority of fifteen thousand may be over come for that amount of money is not quite apparent to the "'smart" managers of ; the Blame show. That supply of "magnetism" is regarded too small. v • Jay Gould is rai6i g from among his con federates in Wall street a Blame fund of $1,500,000. Gould has lost much money lately but if he and his cronies can elect Blame and control the United States treas ury they can all make up their losses and gain more wealth. Four years ago Gould drove a bargain for a smaller sum and had his man appointed to the supreme court bench, as he wanted legal assistance from that quarter. Now he is striking for power at the other end of the avenue. ' Do the pe ople want to see Gould and Wall street own and control the government, as they will if they can elect Blame The bucket shops will fight desperately, but they will be beaten. GOOD YE 3llhO! Every day makes the assurance doubly sure that Milo White cannot secure a re nomination for congress in the First district. The politicians, the papers and the people are opposing his nomination right and left. It is stated that Earl S. Yeomans,of Winona, will contest the nomination, and it is claim ed in his behalf that he will go into the con ventoin with twenty-four votes behind him. Thirty-eight votes are required to nominate, and the possessor of about two-thirds that number has at least a fighting chance for the prize. Ex-Lieut. Gov. Thos. H. Armstrong has been brought out as a candidate with the solid support of the strongest Republican county of the district as a basis ot contest, and his friends are enthusiastic in his be half. The course pursued by White has pretty nearly swamped the Republican party in the district. The counties composing the district gave Garfleld 9,000 majority, and two years later White ran that stout figure down to 760, and last year the district went Dem ocratic. The impression prevails that if the district is left to White, a Democrat will surely be elected, so poor old Milo is being pitched overboard. How much better a new man can do may depend upon the willingness of the people to remain under Republican domination and tyranny. Either of White's competitors will have the advantage that they have no ugly postofß.ee squables on their hands, nor unfulfilled promises to answer for, while the representative of the First district has contrived to get himself . into hot water, without being able to pull himself out, even by his boot straps. , • -• ,; A CLEANSING VLAGUE. It may not be , the Asiatic cholera which has just been developed on the north shore of the Mediterreanan, but is a kind that is just about as deadly, and which will tolerate; no nonsense. -.- It will kill about as surely as if it were born at the mouth of the Ganges. The Asiatic plague has the consideration to announce its coining weeks and, months in advance, and in this respect is much the superior of the other. The latter comes in the night, at noon, at unexpected moments and hundreds are dead almost before its presence Is known. It is nature's scavenger. It comes to rid the race of human offal, of the intemperate, the unclean, the weakly. It is an effort on the part of nature to im prove, the race by ridding it of those who impair its vigor and threaten to vitiate its future. It will remove this class, and many others less deserving of removal, but who have be cofne tainted by association with the unclean elements. In one sense its visitations are beneficent. It weeds out the weakly, and those who are left, mend their ways. They clean up their premises both physical and moral. They abjure for time the bottle. They live more temperate lives in every re spect. The result always is that for years after the visitation of these filth engendered plagues the average death rate decreases to a minimum. People are healthier and happier. The death rate is never so low in New Orleans as in the years immediately following an ep idemic of yellow fever : which played havoc with the people. The streets are there kept beautifully clean. Men are temperate in their habits. All sanitary appliances are put in use, the intemperatce are in the cem eteries, and there is everywhere the maxi mum of health and enjoyment. VIGILANCE THE DEMAND OF SAFETY. It will not do for the Democrats to make their nomination, or to run their campaign with the expectation, that they will receive any material assistance from . the Independ ents as the Republican bolters choose to des ignate themselves. The Democratic candi date must stand on his merits and the cam paign be managed with judgment. In truth, whatever shall be done | must be done precisely as if the Republican | party were a unit and the contest to be of the closest and most desperate character. It ■ will not do to assume that a Democrat will be elected with out difficulty and that almost any sort of man can be put in the field and trusted to gain the White House on the strength of Re publican dissensions. . ':: ■"/;*" ■■'. The fact is that the course of the Independ ents from the very start has been of a kind to induce every body,bothon their own party and that of the opposition to regard them with dis trust. They went into the Republican conven tion with no hint on their part that they were not there in good faith and did not intend to support the nominee of the majority. They gave no sign that it was either a certain man or a revolt which they contemplated. They participated in the proceedings and presented the ' appearance all the time as if they would abide by the decision of the majority. This seeming - ; acquiesence' makes their subse quent treachery • all ! the more conspicuous and inexcusable. It permits the inference that they came to the convention treacher ously determined to : bolt the nomination in case it was not of the man they favored. : . It would . have been more manly to have announced this intention from the outset and then the . convention would have been able to deal understanding^ ■ with the Is sues. There is no reason to conclude that men who are guilty of ■ treachery and double dealing toward their ■ own friends would be any more reliable when dealing with oppon ents whom they ■ have ■ hated for a ■ quarter of a century. Hence, the Democrats ! must not be ; misled by ' this Independent move ment. - It would be useless for them to rely on men who ~ have just shown they have no regard ; for implied pledges, party obligations and the ; decencies of political management. ; They may, by implication, convey the idea .that they will aid the Democracy by .voting for its candidate, or at least, by not voting for : the Republican candidate, but their own THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, FRIDAY MORNING, dTJNE 27, 1884. course shows that their promises are not to be relied on. Hence the Democratic party should not be deceived by this Republican revolt. It should go into the field as if the Republicans were united and Blame and Logan had been nominated by acclamation, or by the first ballot. There should be no cessation of vigilance or effort. Any Democratic sentinel who shall nod on his post under the impres sion that opposite him are the regiments of the Independents and thatnothingisto be feared from them, endangers his own life and the safety of the command which he is guarding. The Democratic campaign must be fought from the very outset to the end, as if the enemy were in a fighting condition fully equal to that which it has shown in its best days. * NEGLEV TEDHEROEB. Before the Republican party shall relin quish its hold in the money bags of the na tion is 6hould not forget the claims of a very gallant body of men who did substantial ser vice during the civil war and whose elaims,at least by the pension bureau, have never yet been recognized. Reference is had to that compact, early-in-the-field body, the home guards. They were among the very first to offer their services to the afflict ed government. During all the long and dreary war they never left their posts. They rallied round the fireside, they chivalrously protected the widows, they apprehended the deserters who came to the rear, they filled all the political places and voluntarily took on themselves the great burdens of the emolu ments of office. They it was that hounded every unwilling patriot to the front, they were the provost guards of interior towns far from the battle fields,. but they made up in industry what they lacked in wounds. They helped to fill the bastiles with dis loyal men who remained at home and dis puted with them the possession of the spoils of office. Now it cannot be that the Repub lican party is about to go out of business and do nothing for these gallant, self-sacrificing men, and patriots. The party has pensioned everything. It has pensioned those who were in the civil war, and were disabled. It pen sioned those who were in the Mexican war and were disabled. Next, it gave everybody connected with the war back pensions, and then everybody who had enlisted for the war providing he had been three days in the ser vice. It would have done even more than all this, it was prepared to pension all those who had thought of going and did not, and their relatives, and everybody else who could be induced to take a pension. And yet des pite all their liberality not a word was said as to the heroes who organized at home, who ministered to the soldiers' widows, who as sisted in howling down the McClellans, the Porters, McDowels, Rosecrans, Meades, and others who did not wear the party collar, or who stood in the way of the ambition of some Republican aspirant. These are the heroes who have been neglected by lavish adminis tration. Evidently Republicans as well as Republics are ungrateful. CURRENT COMMENTS. The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette in its en deavor to bewilder the public in regard to its past record concerning the Man of Maine is under taking the role of "Whooper-up," and in prose and verse vociferates for the tattooed ticket. In one of its frantic displays of "loyalty" it thus describes the kind of campaign it wants to see carried on: Let the signal fires glow, Let beer and whisky flow; Go and guzzle with the foe, If he can thus be laid low. In the following verse it pictures the way the Blame "Whoopers" ran the Chicago convention: Cheer, and cry, and shout, and call; Howl and bellow, scream and brawl; Yell, and shriek, and whoop, and squall, Keep it np until the fall. After this the C.-G. ought to rank as a truly loyal "Whooper-up." The body of Mrs. Jacob Campbell was found quite recently in the Middle Fork Kiver, West Virginia, the lady having committed suicide while laboring under mental aberration. The finding of the body was through a dream or dreams and the story seems like a weird ro mance. In Barbour county resides Jacob Van- Bcroy, a brother of the deceased woman. For three successive nights he dreamed of finding the body of his sister. After the third repetition of the dream he mentioned the matter to another sister, and they were so impressed, that without any information that anything had occurred to Mrs. Campbell they proceeded to her residence, a two days' journey from their own, and found the body at the identical spot so vividly seen in the dreams. The Cleveland Herald notes the decease of a former resident of its vicinage in the following touching language: "The subject of a funeral hold at East Saginaw the other day was a man who in life had been a Ealoon keeper, a constable and a justice of the peace successively, and a ward politician all the time. With rare discrim ination the choir sang "Asleep in Jesus" The Herald should have added, for truth's sake, that the deceased gentleman was a Republican in good and regular standing, all the time. The New York Tribune delights in "Nagging" the "Independents," forgetting erst while, that it has strutted its brief hour in that attitude itself. To appease the ambition of the recalci trants it offers them the following ticket: ForPreeident.— GEOßGE WILLIAM CURTIS, Editor Harper's Weekly. For Tice-President.— COLONEL T. W. HIG GINSON, Editor of The Woman's Journal. Platform. —"We are the people and wisdom will die with us." The Fourth Of July entertainment at Henry C.

Dr. Nelson Somerville Rtilison, of Cleveland, 0., has been elected by the Episcopal convention Assistant-bishop of the central dio cese of Pennsylvania. Miss Mary Packer, daugh ter of the late Judge Asa Packer of the Lehigh Valley railroad, has made generous provision for the assistant-bishop, the cost therefore not fall ing so heavy on the individual churches. Db. Hbinkich Robert Goppsrt, one of the foremost European botanists, died recently at Breslau, at the age of eighty-four. He was the first to dwell on the importance of palsontologi cal investigations to the student of botany, and his collection of fossil flora was probably the most extensive in the world. July Ist, on the northern front of the City hall of Philadelphia will be unveiled a statute of Maj. John F. Reynolds, the hero of Gettysburg. As a feature of the occasion there will be present as many as possible of the survivors of the West Point class of which Gen. Reynolds was a member. CHICAGO VS. ST. PAUL. $100,000 Damages Wanted !ag an Oil Poultice for the Garden City. ■ Chicago, June 26.—The Chicago Linseed Oil company to-day brought suit in the superior court against E. F. Drake, H. E. Thompson, A, M.Drake and G. T. Schurmeir, of St. Paul, for $100,000. The bill was suppressed for service, and P. Chanford, manager of the company, and Melville W. Fuller, attorney, refnses at present to reveal the grounds of the action. It probably grows out of the break up of the linseed oil pool. A Globe representative interviewed Mr. E. F. Drake last night in reference to the above and was assured that the suit had nothing to do with any linseed oil pool, and, in fact had no legiti mate basis whatever. What it grows out of is a contract made some years ago relative to snp plyirig seed. Mr. Drake expressed surprise that there should be such a suit but no apprehension as to the outcome. Copenhagen, June 26.—Hohn, a tailor and leader of socialists, has been elected to the Danish k diet for Copenhagen. TRANSPORTATION NOTES. The Xiortlt-weatttrn Trouble. Yesterday morning's Globe contained the statement by telegraph from Chicago that the general managers of the Northwestern roads had settled all difficulties, and the basis upon which the settlement wbb perfect ed was given. It was agreed to pool all bus iness both ways, whether going by lake and rail or all rail, The rates via Washburn in connection with the Lake Superior steamers are to be the same as the rates via Milwaukee and Chicago in connection with the Lake Michigan steamers. A correspondingly high rate is to \e charged by the all-rail lines via Chicago on the same basis as under the old agreement. For instance, if the rate from St. Paul to Washburn is 12)^ cents and the rate from Washburn by lake and rail to the east 15 cents, the through rate will be 27)£ cents. If the rate from St. Paul to Milwau kee and Chicago is 15 cents, the lake and rail rates to the east will be 12 }4 cents, mak ing the through rate the same as via Wash burn. If the rate from St. Paul to Chicago is 15 cents and the rate from Chicago by rail 15 cents the through rate will be 80 cents, making a difference of 3V£ cents in favor of the rail and lake lines. The Omaha line has all along demanded a differential rate in the Washburn route, but ha* now withdrawn the demand. The St. Paul refused to concede the principle of a differential rate via Wash burn, and in this has carried its point. The Omaha line, however, is guaranteed 10 per cent, extra for its Wnshburn business, and in case it is found that, owing to the compe tition with the St. Paul & Duluth road, it cannot earn that amount the association will allow it to make up tbe tonnage by a tempo rary reduction in rates via Washburn. Nothing whatever was done in regard to the cutting of rates Tia the lowa Central and the upper Mississippi river steamers. In order to stop this trouble it will be neces saryto reorganize the Central lowa associa tion, and an attempt to brine; this about will soon be made. On the Verge of War. The Ohio river lines are apparently about to plunge into another passenger war, which is based upon attempts on the part of some of the lines to repudiate, in part at least, the 75-cent differential awarded the Chicago and Eastern Illinois on business between Chicago and Indianapolis. For both Republican and Democratic national conventions all lines but the Eastern Illinois held a meeting and agreed to sell tickets at one fare for the round trip,which would be $5.50. The East ern Illinois, enjoying a 75-cent differential on Indianapolis traffic, also decided to make a rate of one fare for the round trip, which would be $4.75. The latter's competitors, while willing to allow it the differential on regular business, refused to do so on special business. A vigorous protest was made dur ing the recent convention, but in some way matters were smoothed over and open hos tilities averted. Now ailairs have probably progressed too far for a peaceful settlement, the Pan Handle having publicly announced a $4.75 rate for the July convention. In do ing this the Pan Hand/c people say that they will meet the Eastern Illinois rate, pool or no pool, and there is every indication that the passenger portion of the pool has suffered a well-nigh fatal shock. Unless the unexpect ed should happen, the tiaveling public will soon be favored with a repetition of last sum mer's "unpleasantness." Vanderbilt Sells Out His Mock Island Stock. The officers of the Rock Island Railroad company have received thefrather depressing news that Vanderbilt has got even with them for defeating him at the recent election. Not being able to secure t, representative in the board of the company as the largest stock holder, he has decided to have nothing more to do with such an unappreciative corpora tion, and, therefore, has sold all his stock in the Rock Island. There can be no doubt of his having played this coup d'etat, as the transfer of the stock was recorded on the company's books in New York yesterday. The Rock Island officers think it is rather severe to have to get along hereafter without the moral and other support of Vauderbilt. According to his statement, made just before his departure for Europe, he intended to keep up the fight until next year's election, when he expected to gain his point, and the Rock Island people expected a good deal of amusement from this conflict, which has now been completely spoiled by Vanderbilt's retirement as a stockholder of the road. The Rock Island people, however, find some con solation in the fact although "the largest in dividual stockholder" threw all his stock on the market in a lump the stock did not de cline materially, and is still quoted higher than any other 7 per tent, stock. A New Deal in Cattle. The Northern Pacific has made a new deal in live stock. After shipping a hundred thousand head of yearlings and two year olds this season, it has arranged to bring a large lot of three year olds from Idaho and Wash ington territory east to Montana to be fat tened this season and reshipped to the Chica go market. The reason for this step is that the cattle cannot be taken to the eastern mar ket over such a long route as that from the Pacific to Chicago or farther east without be ing greatly reduced. The Northern Pacific has therefore determined to bring them for ward half way one year and then turn them out on the rich grasses of Montana, and in this way have them ready when they are four year olds to ship through to the east. Mail Xotes. The earnings of the St. Paul Railway sys tem for the third weekin June amounted to .$424,000, against $451,000 for the corres ponding week last year—a decrease of $27, --000 The earnings of the St. Paul & Duluth road for the third week in June were §25,002.85. In 1883 the earning for the corresponding week were $27,600.94, showing a falling off of $2,603.09. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road has out a new and very elegant railroad map, showing the country clear across from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and especially the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul line of road. Mr. Geo. A. Sanderson,late general freight agent of the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis, and formerly general agent of the Denver & Rio Grande at Chicago, has been appointed general agent of the Union Pacific at Salt Lake City, Utah. The Northern Pacific road has made ar rangements for the shipment of 2,000 head of sheep from Miles City to Winnipeg by the way of Fargo and Glyndon, and is also ar arranging to bring 10,000 sheep from Wash ington territory to Montana for reshipment to eastern markets. Mr. Teasdale, general passenger and ticket agent of the Royal route, has issued a circular to the agents of that road in which he says: "On July 3 and 4, 1884, you will sell local excursion tickets from your station to all stations on the eastern, northern and west ern divisions at a rate one and one-fifth fare for the aound trip, and limit the return pass age until July 7, 1884. Articles have been filed with the secretary of state incorporating the Mattoon South western railroad, with a capital stock of $25, --000, to construct a road in a southwesterly direction from Mattoon to an intersection with the Cincinnati & St. Louis railroad. The incorporators and first board of direc tors are Ira James, John James, J. F. Chuse, J. C. James and J. B. Craig, all of Mattoon. The Chicago & Northwestern railway has issued a circular in regard to hurrying for ward agricultural implements, which shows that that road recognizes the importance of the matter. The circular says to its agents: "It is of the greatest importance to shippers and consigners of agricultural implements that there be no delay on such shipments at this season of the year, and you will treat such shipments, until the season is over, the same as perishable property, as regards time." The Central Pacific Not Embarrassed. San Frakcisco, June 26.—Charles Crocker, president of the Southern Pacific Railroad com pany, said this evening to an Associated Press representative that the statement attributed to him in an interview as published in this morn ina-B paper and telegraphed east, that he could not borrow twenty-five cents on the Southern Pa cific bonds, is absolutely false. He never said anything of the kind. Continuing, he said: lam loaning money now on the Southern Pacific as collateral at ninety cents. They have never been refused in this market at that rate. Had I made any such statement as that it would have been suicidal, which is at once proof of its falsity. The Central Paciiic is not embarrassed and will probably pay its employes this month as usual. NORTHERN PACItIC LANDS. The House Committee Report in Fa vor of Forfeiting 1 Some of the Branch Line Grant. Washington, June 26. —The majority re port sent in by the committee on public lands declaring forfeited certain lands grant ed to tbe Northern Pacific road is a lengthy document. Its substance is that congress possesses the power to declare the forfeiture of the lands and sound public policy should be exercised. The provisions of the bill up on which the report is made, apply to that por tion of the main line from Wallula, Wash ington Territory, to Portland, Oregon, 214 miles, and that portion of the branch line from Ainsworth to Puget Sound. 180 miles- Mr. Oakes, vice president of the Northern Pacific road was seen last night, after the re ceipt of the above and his views in regard to it were solicited. Mr. Oakes. after reading the dispatch said that there was very little,if anything, that could be added to what has already been said in regard to this attempted injustice against the Northern Pacific road. He claimed that they were going along in good faith to complete the line and had shown by what they had done that they were at work in good faith to carry out their con tract with the government, and added: We are at work now building the line from Ains worth west, and have already constructed twenty-five miles from the Ainsworth end, and twenty-five miles from the Puget Sound end. We take the position that the land grant is a grant in presenti, that is, a grant actually made and for aspecifie purpose, one that could not be alienated, or dtvoted to any other object. We concede the right of the government to dispose of the land to build the road, but we do not recognize the right of the government to use the lands for any other purpose. The grant is for a specific object. The people demand ed the road. To other roads the government gave money, to this one lands. Had the government stepped in when the road failed to be completed within the time specified and taken the lands and used them for the purpose of finishing up the road, that would bave been a different thing, but it did not do this. The government lay by and saw the road finished after the time specified in the grant, and made no objections to the action of the man agers of the road going on and finishing it under these circumstances. This can be il lustrated in this way: If a lot is conveyed to you upon which you are to erect a certain building in sixty days, and you fail to com plete the building m that time, but go on and complete the structure in ninety days and the person who makes the conveyance interposes no objection, but keeps quiet and allows you to complete the structure after the time mentioned in the contract, it is not justice nor common sense that he should be allowed to come in and take the property away from you. That is the whole case in a nutshell, and is all there is of It. AMUSEMENTS. Our Strategists. The appearance of J. H. Haverly's party at the opera house last evening, in what is termed as his latest triumph, the modern comedy of errors or "Our Strategists," was to a very thin house. The fact that it is or ought to be very hot weather when the elite are or ought to be at White Bear or some other fashionable watering place, coupled with a disinclination to be taken in by some "new thing" which they don't know about, caused a much lighter house than was deserved. Those who did go were, however, glad of it, ex cept for the general side aches which all experi enced as the result of a couple of hours of un restrained merriment. Prom the pit to the balcony the contagion was irreeistable, and each person went home with the conviction that it was as advertised, the "funniest play on record." The plot is simply this, that Jack Rutledge, the strategist, wants to marry the daughter of Major Edwards, Miss Nellie, for whom her par ental ancestor has other ambition*. To accomplish his end he resorts to strategy and masquerades alternately as the major and his own fatuer,dur ing which many ludicrous scenes occnr and in the end he secures the consent of both parents to his wishes. Jlr. Heny R. Bell, who assumes the title role, does it in a most creditable manner, as also does Miss Katie Gilbert that of Nellie Howard. There are absolutely no poor charac ters in the whole party and if one seeks diver sion and a sure cure for the blues they have only to take in our Strategists, who are to play to night, Saturday afternoon matinee and Saturday evening.

' Mr. Jones, permanent chairman, read the following address Gentlemen of Committee: I did not seek nor did I expect this distinguished honor. I accept your action, not as a compliment to myself personally, but as a recognition of our great business interests. I beg to assure you the compliment is appreciated, and I thank you for it. In accepting this import ant position I have many misgivings as to my ability to perform the duties involved satisfactorily, and only do so with the un derstanding that others, jj members of the committee, will not only assist but give me the full benefit of their superior experience, judgment and energy, in conducting the campaign. It is my good fortune to have known Mr. Blame intimately over thirty years. I have watched his career during that time with unusual interest, and I have never known any one to be actuated by purer motives or governed by . a higher standard of " morals. His lofty patriotism, and splendid abilities are recognized and ac knowledged everywhere. He is always jon the American side of every question. These virtues and these accomplishments account for his wonderful magnetism and for his nearness to the hearts of the American peo ple. I have not the honor of personal ac quaintance with General Logan, but who in this broad land who does not know his mag nificent record as a soldier and his grand ca reer as a statesman? . ; The Democratic party must be held to its record on free trade and tariff for j revenue only. Too many yet live who remember the, languishment of trade, scant employment and poor.wages, and the burning of corn in the west for fuel because there was no other use for it under Democratic domination. Who - will vote for a party which threatens a return of that condition of affairs? Our people believe that reasonably prosperous times are attainable in this country. The working classes especially ask, claim and demand that they shall continue to have an opportunity to earn such wages as will enable them to live as American citi zens should live. With such candidates and such principles as are set forth in our platform success is assured. Victory will be ours in November as sure as the sun will bless us with its light. After some desultry talk and brief addres ses concerning the general prospects of the party throughout the country, a recess was taken until 3 o'clock. . At 3:15 the chairman again called the committee to order. ■:^.: l ;. Secretary Fessenden read a communica tion from the young men's Republican club of New York city, suggesting that the club would be able to contribute to the election of the Republican candidates in November. The communication was referred to the executive committee. Senator Chaffee reported, in behalf of the sub-committee to select headquarters in New York city, that 242 Fifth avenue could be secured. The report was adopted and the sub-committee instructed to complete the ar rangements. . The committee adjourned subject to a call of the chairman. The executive committee met in the same room, and was in session two hours with closed doors. Senator Chaffee was made permanent chairman of the executive committee, and Col. Hooker permanent secretary. The committee delegated its full power to the sub-committee to act during the recess, consisting of Chaffee, Elkins and Hobart. It is understood these three gentlemen will supplement the work of the chairman on active organization, and the working force of the committee. This sub-committee to-night resolved to add, under the power given by the general executive committee, the names of Conger, of Ohio, and Clarkson, of lowa, to have more especially the care of the com mittee and party's work in the western states. The general executive committee adjourned at 5 o'clock subject to the call of the sub-committee. The latter committee and the chairman will go to work at once on organization and details of the campaign. The financial committee also had a meeting this afternoon. Good Fishing: Spoilt, -'i^hf. Pittsbcrg, June 26.—Sulphur water from the coal mines along the Yonghiogheny river is causing great mortality among the fish. For a distance of twenty-five miles the river is filled with dead fish floating with the slug gish tide or drifting shoreward, where, in heavy grasses and shrubbery, they lie de composing, tainting the atmosphere with foul oders. It is estimated that in the past twenty-four hours five tons of dead fish ■ have gone down the river.. The stream was stocked by the government a few years ago and has been popular with fishermen. Failure ■of Lindell Hotel Company. St. Louis, June —The assignment yes terday of the Lindell House association does not affect the hotel, which is being con ducted as usual under the management of J.

The entire effects of the hotel, howe/er, are ■ advertized for sale July 19th, but ; it .: is ■ not..believed those interested will allow the j property and business to pass into \ the . hands »of outside parties.;-. Bureau of Medicine and Surgery ' Frauds. .. Washington, June 26.Secretary Chandler appeared to-day as. a witness before the sib committee on expenditures of ■' public money and was examined in relation to the recently discov ered j frauds in the . bureau of medicine and sur gery. The total of the suspicious vouchers, he said, discovered so far, was . about $63,000. Many were made out in the names of : fictitious persons and some bore the names of actual firms. The money fraudulently obtained was in some instances divided ■ between a . watchman 'in the department,' Carrigan, the chief clerk, and Kirk wood, in charge of the accounts. The frauds in the bureau of medicine and surgery seem to have been made possible largely ;by the .■ omission of that wise precaution of having the receiving' offi cer's certificate ' upon 1 the voucher ' itself. ; The witness said some time last year he -i received -, a letter charging Carrigan with drunken ness,' and later a man i came ? to v him *■. and * told '.■; him that Kirkvroou and Cgrrigini wereengaged in "(frauds. 1; Some inquiry was made, and the conclusion ar rived at that while there were some suspicious circumstances, there was nothing warranting a conclusion of guilt. There the matter rested un til Detective Wood discovered the fraud. Secretary Chandler spoke of the persistent pressure brought to bear for the retention of Dr. Wales. "What do you mean by 'pressure,' Mr. Secre- In reply the secretary said the recommenda tions of Dr. Wales were of such a character at to fully justify him (witness) iii'believing the af fairs of his bureau had been well administered. It was incredible that gentlemen should have urged his reappolntment with such persistency if they had any suspicion of such a condition of affairs m the bureau. They were mainly mem bers of cougress. The parties to the frauds, es pecially Carrigan, persistently resorted to rather extraordinary means to keep ]) r . Wales in office, Tl he petition for Wales' rt-appointment were in Cardigan's handwriting and presumably circulated by him. CONGRESS YESTERDAY. The Senate. Washington, June 26 —The house bill passed extending to water transportation routes the provisions of the statutes hitherto applied to land routes only, regarding the immediate trans portation of reliable goods. The legislative bill was the proceeded with, the pending question being on the amendmenl proposed by the senate committee to strike out the clause permitting distilleries masking ten bushels or leBS of grain per day to be run with out storekeepers, and inserting instead a provi sion amending the revised statutes so bb to forbid a collector from hereafter approving the bonds of grain distillers, the survey of whose distiller ies shall be for less capacity than for ten bushels per day, and bo as to forbid, under penalties, the distillation of a less daily quantity than that. The point of order being raised that the part recommended for insertion was new legislation, and therefore obnoxious to the rule forbidding such legislation in appropriation bills, the chair sustained the point of order, and the new clause recommended was not adopted. The committee's recommendation to strike out the house clause was agreed to. Senator Harris, from the committee on epi demic diseases, reported, and had recommitted to the committee on appropriations an amend ment providing that the president be authorized in case of a threatened or actual epidemic, to use' the unexpended balance of the appropriation made by the act of March 3d, 1883, not to ex ceed $100,000, in aid of state or local boards or otherwise, at his discretion, in preventing the spread of the same, and maintaining quarantine at ports of danger. The amendment was adopted, providing that ths reports in the Congressional Record shall be an accurate transcript of the proceedings and de bate of the two houses of congress, and that no speech shall be published therein which was not spoken in the senate or in the house of represen satives, and that such speeches shall be printed as they were actually delivered, except a verbal correction made by the author of the Bpeech, and by no other person, and that when the speeches are reserved by their authors for correction they shail be returned to the reporter of the house in which they were delivered within one week, and if not so returned they shall be printed In the Congressional Record from the notes reported. Senator Beck offered the following amend ment: "That all distilled spirits entered for wit h drawal for export may be set apart and remain for a period uot exceeding six months in the warehouses of the distillery in which they were stored, when so entered, subject to such regula tions as the secretary of the treasury shall pre scribe .'' Ruled out on a point of order. Senator Beck also offered as an amendment to the Bection appropriating salaries for gangers, store keepers, etc., as follows: "No part of the money hereby appropriated shall be expended for the maiutenance of any grain distillery which has not a mashing capacity of ten bushels a day." Lost. The bill then passed. Senator McMillan, from the committee on commerce, reported the river and harbor bill, with the request that it be printed and recom mitted to the committee. Agreed to.

Mr. Garrison asked unanimous consent to take up the bill for completion of a monument to Mary, the mother of Washington, but Mr. Weller objected. Mr. Henley, for the committee on public lands reported a bill providing for the disposal of the Cherokee reservation in Arkansas. The house calendar. Mr. Brown, of Indiana, endeavored to have the house proceed with consideration! of the Mexican pension bill with the senate amendments, but the house determined, yeas 135, nays 83, to con sider the unfinished business, being the bill to forfeit the land grant of the Backbone railroad in Louisiana. Messrs. Oates and Van Eaton opposed the bill and Mr. Curtin favored it. Mr. Payson maintained that the grant was not forfeitable, either in law or equity, and that for the government to attempt to forfeit it would be akin to absolute repudiation. This land grant case is one upon which the judiciary committee of the house has submitted an opinion, denying the legal power of congress to declare a forfeit ure, and Mr. Henley, in advocating the bill, re ferred to this opinion and criticized the commit tee for having confounded principles pertaining to private with those pertaining to public grants, and for failing to make any distinction between them. Mr. Lewis favored the forfeiture. The vote on the passage of the bill resulted, yeas 77, nays 121. Before the announcement of tho vote Mr. Lewis, who had vited in the affirmative, changed his vote to the negative and moved a reconsidera tion. Mr. Ellis moved to table that motion, and pending this Mr. Lewis moved to adjourn, which was loßt. Messrs. Lewis and White, of Kentucky, re sorted to fillibustering tactics, and finally secured an adjournment. Confirmations. Washington, June 26.—A. Wilson Xorris.pen sion agent at Philadelphia.
