It is stated that the English government,
through Mr. West, its minister, has for
mally called the attention of the president
to the repudiation of the public debt of the
state of Virginia as affecting a lance num
ber of citizens of England, holders of Vir
ginia bonds, and requiring action by the
English government to secure, protect and
enforce their rights. This is the first in
stance in the history of the country where
the geueral government has been called
upon by a foreign power to look after the
repudiation of I state debt It involves
legal and constitutional questions that will
be far reaching in their character, It is
not made public what the English govern
ment expects of the United States in the
matter, but the inference is that it is in the
nature of a demand upon the national gov
ernment to make good to the English hold
ers of Virginia bonds the amount due by
reason of Virginia defalcation. The
unadjusted portion of the ante-bel
lum debt of Virginia is the one
third which was arbitrarily appor
tioned to West Virginia for payment.
amounting to about UT.olo.oat>. and which
the latter state declines to assume. The
view probably taken by the English gov
ernment is that the United States, having
created West Virginia out of Virginia as I
war act, and having fixed on West Vir
ginia the burden of paying an indeterminate
portion of old Virginia's debt, has tho
power to fix on some positive method in
determining her ratio, Mr. Bum dis
cusses this subject la his work. Twenty
Years in Congress, and there presents tho
doctrine that the United States is morally
bound to make good the amount of Indebt
edness which has been apportioned to West
Virginia. It is possible that this sugges
lion made by Mr. Hi.aim: has influenced
the English government in its desire to pro
tect its own citizens, to make this demand
on the United States government This
opinion i- confirmed by the fact that leading
Virginians who are known to be intimate
with Mr. Hi.aim: arc standing in with the
English government in pushing this matter
upon the attention of the president. A well
known New York banker, in a recent inter
view ■with the Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, said: "I do not know
that lam at liberty to give the names of
the leaden in the new movement, though
they are mostly men engaged in large enter
prises for the development of the mineral
resources of the valley of the Shenandoah.

lie is Interested in railroads and mining,
lie is a fair representative of the Northern
men who believe there is wealth to be
gained in the development of the natural
advantages of the South. Between
835,000.000 and 550,000.000 of North
ern capital has been planted in this part of
Virginia since the war. The great section
of country in the mountain ranges stretch
ing on down through Tennessee into Ala
bama lias a surpassing wealth of minerals
which railroads and furnaces and factories
are required to develop and utilize. The
Northern men who have started on this de
velopment have become alarmed at the con
dition into which Virginia has been forced,
and are looking around for the remedy. As
the first step they have been advised to se
cure from congress the fixing of the ratio of
debt to be paid by the two states. 1 under
stand that Mr. Hi.aim:, whose fertility in
expedients of statesmanship is acknowl
edged on every hand, advised Mr. Pabsoxs
to this step, and that in consultation with
other Virginians it has been decided upon."
it is said in the same connection that a
BOtlveution is BMW to be called in N'irgiuia

The spirit of American liberty ami Ameri
can progress is abroad in Peru. The Booth
American commission reports to the state
department at Washington that the people
in Peru privately talk aj annexation to the
United States, and the newspapers openly
advocate I protectorate over that country
by this government as the best mode of se
curing international peace. That construc
tion of the constitution which gave to this
government its expansive force ha* been Its
great glory. No one would want to tear
out those chapters of our history which re
cord our territorial acquisitions. This ex-
D&nslve principle will yet mark out a
grander destiny for the Union than it has
yet seen. The expansion of the Kepublic is
a natural law of. its healthy existence. The
greatest acts in the drama of American de
velopment are yet to come. Still, we doubt
whether we have yet reached a point when*
we can afford to shape a policy that will
bring any of the South American states
under the control of this government Cuba
and Mexico rise up in our pathway, and the
question of their annexation must be dis
posed of before we commeuce to grasp ter
ritory that lies farther away. And if Peru
was within proper distance the tale of pov
erty and destitution and internal commotion
related by the commission would make it
an undesirable acquisition. The discordant
political condition of the country is thus re
lated by the commission:
Cacerf.s has control of the southern prov
inces of the republic, and is marching toward
Lima with an army of seven or eight thou
sand men. President Iglesias is prepared
to defend the city, but has neither the means
nor men to make an offensive campaign. He
dare not move the army from the- capital for
fear of a revolution there, an dis thus com
pelled to see the interior provinces, one by
one, subjected to the authority of Caceres.
Iglesias is resorting to extraordinary meas
ures to gocuro enough money to keep the
army in lijrht in? shape. He is re;rarded as an
honest man, bill under the influence of Chili
and therefore is unpopular, but the people
who oppose him do not want ("mi his as a
ruler. Between the two they prefer Igle
mas. There is ■ third party headed by Gen.
Pieuola, formerly dictator of Peru, which is
■aid to be composed of the best clement of
the republic, whose purpose is to secure the
abdication of foil—lt SJ and the retirement of
Caceuiis by makintr concessions to the friend
and supporters of ouch. 60 far they have not
met with success, and cow there are indica
tions of a movement to accomplish by a coup
d'etat What diplomacy has lu:l.«l to do. It
is thought that Caceues might bo willing 1 to
yield to the Piekola party, and when he and
his army of Indiuns have approached near
BBesajh to Lima, to make such movement
effective, it Is said Pikiiola's party will give
i'iii.HAjuii opportunity to choose between
PiEKOLA and Cacekcs, and then terms can

and the revolutionists for peace, with Pi»:n

OHIO PBOBtBITIOVISTSi
The Ohio Prohibitionists have determined
to stand to the colors In the coining canvass
and will not trust to a coalition with the
Republican party again. This will be bad
news for K«h:aki:i:. who was nominated
upon the supposition that he would carry the
full Prohibition vote and prevent the organ
ization of a third party in his state. Not
withstanding the fact that the Republicans
profess prohibition principles, the genuine
disciples of that faith have come to the con
clusion that their principles can be best
promoted by organizing themselves into a
third party. The indignities heaped upon
Gov. St. Jonx after his presidential race
on a Prohibition platform have tended to
alienate the temperance people from the
party of professed moral ideas. A
Prohibition convention held in West
Virginia the other day, after a prolonged
and animated discussion, resolved to or
ganize a third party in that state. The
leading Republican machine manipulators
in the state went into the convention, but
were not strong enough to hold the cold
water crowd in the Republican line. These
Prohibition conventions are largely made up
of clergymen, A singular feature of the
West Virginia convention, as reported in
the newspapers, was that the Methodists
Opposed a third party movement, while the
Baptists advocated it. The latter, being in
the majority, won the fight It is not
known whether there will bo a denomina
tional split in Ohio or not. But one thing
is quite sure; there will be 15.000 or 20,000
votes cast for Lkoxaud for governor thai
Fohakek would like to have.
TIIE ITOn LADTf
Miss Cleveland has settled the mooted
question of who is first lady in the land.
she settled it herself in ■ way that meets
public applause. The other day when
there was some house-cKsaning to be done in
the executive mansion she tied a towel
around her head, put on an old calico dress,
and with broom and dust-pan in hand went
from room to roein and made things lively
for a while. The servants, who had never
witnessed such a scene in the old mansion,
stood aghast, but thai didn't deter her from
going through with the work. Of course
there is going to be a terrible outcry on the
part of polite society. But that will not
dethrone Miss Cleveland from the proud
position which the American people with
a loud voice will accord to her. The
masses of the people will stand by her and
uphold her as the first lady of the land.
Such homely common sense as she displays
is right up to American ideas. The wo
rn.in who knows how to take care of her
home is the only queen that American*
crown. .

came along and took part in
the sport and was tossed in
her turn in rough nnd tumble fashion.
This morning sho came to camp with a

to toss her. It was evidently a case of
mistaken identity, and Capt. Curtis drew

Mt. M< r...i : . N. V., July 2.—Gen.
Grant had a wry pood night, despite the
mental work of yesterday. The morning
was bright and dear, though chilly after the
pa>t four days of wet weather. At
about 11 o'clock the general expressed
himself as feeling better able to work than
at any time since he came here. lib writ
ing materials were brought and he com
menced writing again in the line of his
work. The day has been too
chilly for the patient to go out of
doors. Between - and I o'clock this
afternoon he appeared on the piazza for the
first time since Friday and remained out
doors nearly an hour. This evening Dr.
Douglas stated that the general had ex
pressed himself as feoliug much better to
day. The physician added that
the patient had, indeed, been in a better
condition, and that he had been little
troubled with eoughiug or secretions. The
general to-day received a letter, dated at
Kock Bridge Baths, Va., from an ex-
Confederate officer who surrendered at Ap
pouiatox. It is couched in terms of
the warmest admiration, regard and sym
pathy, refers to having received back "his
horse and sword with the injunction to go
home and assist in making a crop, and as
sures the general that the writer is not the
only ex-Coufederato who daily prays for his
restoration. Electric lamps were lighted
for the first time In the cottage to-night.
The general's family feel enconraged by the
circumstances surrounding hi» case during
the past few days.

Chicago, July 2.—The West Division
Street Railway company has made M at
tempt since the serious encounter on Madi
son street, yesterday afternoon, to run out
any of its care. The officers of the com
pany have had several consultations with
the mayor and chief of polieo without any
apparent result. Mayor Harrison declared
■It willingness to give the company]
protection, provided it was prepared to
put its cars in operation, but he did not be
lieve In keeping the entire police force on
duty to oversw the running of two or three
cars. The newspapers are beginning to
look at the situation as one of serious im
l>ortance, and the Times this morning inti
.inates that the hesitancy of the "mushy"
mayor in IS7I provoked the riots of that
year, and warns Mayor Harrison that any
hesitation in preserving the peace at this
time may result in a similar outcome. It
is cited that various hiimr organizations are
enlisting lor the active supi>ort of the
strikers, and it is cited that re
cruits from these organizations and
LAWLESS INDIVIDUALS
joined iii the disorder of yesterday. The
News and the Inter Ocean, while express
ing supreme dislike to the methods em
ployed by the street car company in the
past toward the public, enjoying as it has a
complete monopoly of the passenger-carry
lug traffic in the most populous part of the
city, say it should bo granted protection
for its employes moving its cars, and that a
failure to afford such protection may result
in anarchy. The statement is made that
the government may be called upon to or
der out a force of national guard troops
but a dispatch from the state capital de
clares no such action has yet been taken.
The street car otlicials declare that they
have an ample force of men to man the cars
provided they are insured protection from
assault In the meantime practically every
conveyance in the city has bwn pre^sttl
into service for the accommodation of the
West side traveling public, and, beyond the
discomfort which naturally follows of
mounting ordinary express wagons having
plain pine boards for seats, the public is
not in any way inconvenienced. The street
car companies in the past having purchased
or driven out of the business all omnibus
companies, comparatively few of the latter
style of vehicles remain in the city, but the
PRESENT EMERGENCY
has resulted in briucinic to light a con
siderable number, and it is almost idle to
state that there and every band wagon or
other side-seated conveyance in the city has
been pressed into service. The prevailing
fare is 10 cent*, and express-wagon drivers
state that they have collected from 819 to
$20 a day from passengers in the ordinary
run of traffic. The hausom cabs with
which the city is supplied in great num
bers, naturally cannot supply the full de
mand nude upon them. Several meetings
of citizens have been held to protest against
the delay of the car company In resuming
the car sen-ice, and legal proceedings have
boon threatened to coiui>el a forfeiture of
the company's charter under a provision
which compels the company to run the cars
daily.
The striking car conductors and their al
lies created no disturbance of any kind to
night, apparently satisfied that the com
pany will tnake no effort to resume business
before morning. Very few of them are to
be seen about the streets or in
the neighborhood of the car barns. The
fortunate possessors of express wagons and
other vehicles appear to take a very cheer*
ful view of the situation, and evidently
agreeing with Mayor Harrison that it is
best to let things take their course for a
few days. Quite a number of expressmen
have rigged up wagons with comfortable
seats running omnibus fashion, lengthwi>e,
and are plainly reaping a just reward for
their industry.

Jacksonville, Fla., July 2. —A special
from Citra, Fla., says that a horrible mur
der and house bunting occurred yesterday
near that place. The only particulars ob
tainable are that at about 3 p.m. a dense
smoke was seen from Cttia in
the direction of J. (>. Matthews'
dwelling. A party of citizens went
out and found that the house was nearly
burned down. Three bodies were 1MB) in
the tlaines, and a colored girl if years old
was lying near with her skull crushed, but
able to speak a little. She said a party
camp to the house and killed Mother Lewis,
Grade Lewis and the baby and tried to kill
her, and then set the bouse on
fire. The names of the party are withheld
until later, as they are not vet under ar
rest. Mr. Matthews went north a few days
ago. leaving his house in charge of the
Lewis family. The community is greatly
excited over the terrible crime. The vic
tims are all colored and were honest, re
liable people.
A TTunrhHiiMii Inlc.
Nokth Veuxox, Intl.. July 2. — Great
excitement was occasioned here this morn
ing by the capture of a wild man named
Samuel Metoin of Kentucky, who became
suddenly ferocious and at a place
on CJreensburg street held at
bay all the farm wagons that
were comlnc in town. He had a Ion? bow ie
knife and threatened to kill all who at
tempted to pass. Some twenty wagons
were blocked by the desperate man. He
attacked Tuny Gasper's wagon and turned
the horses and wagon over nearly killing
the horses. Then he attacked Gas
per with the gleaminz knife, in
flicting wounds epos him, but not
serious. For three hours he held scores of
people in the narrow baa, and in the most
vicious manner yelled and attacked anyone
near him. He is a powerfully-built man,
and no one felt brave enough to attack
him. Finally Lou Kin?, Andy Musser
and Tom McAdam closed in on him, and
a desperate struggle ensued. For a time it
seemed that the desperate man would kill
them all, but he was brought to the ground
by a powerful blow by Andy Musser. They
tied him with ropes and carried him away
in a spring wagon. Fully live hundred peo
ple witnessed the exciting scene.

Heavy Morui in Kan»».
Paiisoxs, Kan., July 2. — The heavy
rains of last night and this morning have
swollen all streams to overflowing. Labelle
creek, near town, has covered all the bot
tom land and compelled quite a number of
people to move out. The damage to crops
in low lands will be considerable on
account of the overflow. Washouts
are reported on all the railroads and no
trains have been run in any direction. On
the Missouri Pacific a washout is reported
between here and Fort Scott and Waskogee,
also two washouts on the Neoshoe division,
between here and Junction City. The gulf
trains are all abandoned, on account of
washouts between here and Cberryvale.
Both companies have large forces of men
at work repairing the damages, and the
Missouri Pacific will have all their trains
running on time to-morrow. The Neoshoe
river is lil'teen inches higher than it has
been for fifteen years and still rising.
