"yiiio Republicans Attacking the ?ro blbitloiiists--Vilas* New Delivery System of Important Mall. Dr. torinf-'s Weak Defense—A Labor Agent Proven to He a Horse Thiol and Ex-Convict, The President in the Mountain*. Special to the Globe. Albany, X. v.. Aug. 12.-Those who understand President Cleveland's plans say te will be in no hurry to return to Wash ington fore the Ist of October, though be may find it necessary to get back sooner. He has purposely sought a secluded, out of-the-way region in which to spend his vacation, in order to escape the ollice-seek ini- annoyance, the locality being distant from railroads and accessible by only one line of telegraph. 11ls r secretary; has in structions to send him none of his mail , matter from Washington and not to com municate with him at all unless In the j event of an extraordinary emergency, i Oftice-seekers are to be entirely ignored for the time being and will receive but little attention between now and the meet ing of congress hi December. Advices from the Adirondacks ibis morning report •hat the president and Ida friend, Dr. Ward, of Albany, have reached their des tination in the North woods, and have com menced their season of rest and recreation, which, if nothing happens to interfere. will continue for three or four weeks at the shortest The fact is, the president greatly feels the need of rest He has been overworked and worried during the past five months to such a degree that he is not only tired out but much disgusted by the hungry and importunate politicians. When lie left Albany Monday, he said he felt that he had escaped an experience worse than that of a prisoner of war and was very glad for an opportunity to get rest and" a little fun on his own account. Rejected Chestnuts*. Special to tin- Globe, Washington, Aug. 12.—Thereisagood deal of curiosity felt here to see what will be the next step in regard to Kelley. Mr. Bayard is an obstinate person, and hates very much to give up his pet diplomat, yet It seems thai he will have to do so. It would hardly be the proper thing to send a rejected chestnut like Keiley to any post of importance, and besides there is not a post of importance to till. All the important ones have already been filled. There are a number of consular positions paying SI.OOO a year, or something of that sort, which are still open, but it seems doubtful if thai gentleman would care to take anything of thai sort alter being rejected as minister to Italy and Austria successively. The gen eral comment here is thai his rejection is just what the administration ought to have expected. '!'<> deliberately send a man who had been rejected by Italy to her neighbor, Austria, with the full knowledge that he would be as OFFENSIVE TO THAT NATION' as well. was, i" say the leas , In bad taste, and a direct bid for another rejection. Of course, the government can do nothing but quietly pocket the affront, aud consider what it shall do about, Keiley. From all that can be fathered if is probable that be will be permitted to quietly come home and retire to the shades of private life. Another question which bis rejection raises is that of another selection for his place. It is probable that the president will omit to take action in the matter until after his return. Of all the Virginians who will as pire to this title, the general opinion is that Randolph Tucker would be the best fitted man for this place. If a question of fitness Is to be considered. He lias been In con gress a long time, i- a man of years as well as of experience, a cultured and polished gentleman, who WOULD DO iroxon to the country and the administration. Mr. Bayard, however, who is nothing if not mysterious, gives no sign as to who will be his choice. The rejection of Keiley seems to settle the fate of Mr. Jonas of Wisconsin, who was apitointedcotisul to Prague. When be visited here sometime ago lie represented tothetlemrtinei.it that the objections to himself were frivolous and could be easily brushed aside when he got there, and there was adisposiiioii to let him go there and see if he could fix the matter up. Later, how ever, the mailer was held up again to await developments. The developments have come, aud it Is pretty safe to say that Mr. Jonas will not go to .It-stria. It is not im probable, now that the administration has pot a second or third slap in the face over Bayard's remarkable selections, t!.;** II may quietly drop both of these men and start hi afresh with men to whom there can be no objection, New Mail Delivery System. Washington-, Aug. 12.—A circular re lating to the immediate delivery system, which is to be put in operation on Oct 1, has been prepared. It says: It has accordingly been decided to intro duce the special delivery system on Hie Ist of October, 1885, ut all the postoffices at wlii'jfi It Is permitted by law. viz.: Those at which tho tree delivery system is in operation and those in cities and towns having a population of 4,000 or over as shown by tbe last Federal census.

The special delivery Etatnp must be In addition to tin; lawful post age ami letters not prepaid with at least one I full rate of postage In accordance with the ' law and regulations mast be treated as held for postage, even though bearing a SPECIAL DKLIVEUY ST.*MI» In addition to the full postage and registry fee required by the law and the regulations. A letter bearing a special delivery stamp, In addition to the lawful postage, may be mailed at any postoffice in the country, tut will no be entitled to an immediate delivery by a messenger when addressed to a postoffice to which the special delivery system has not been extended. Special delivery letters will bo delivered by messenger within the carrier limits of a free delivery office, and within a radius of one mile Prom the postoffice at all Other special delivery offices. No effort will be spared to expedite the mailing of letters beniiti^ the special delivery stamps addressed to special delivery offices. Postmasters are urged to use all available means for furnish ing the public with information with regard to the special delivery system. A i- of special delivery offices wlll be furnished to postmasters ami must be conspicuously posted in the postoffice where ii will readily attract public attention. [Signed,] William F. Vn.-.s. Postmaster General. Dr. *L>eri-a-r*a Defense. Washington-, Aug. 12.—Ron. George B. Loiiie.'. ex-commissioner of agriculture, has written a letter in reply to Judge Dur ham's communication announcing a dis allowance of a portion of Mr. Loring*s ac counts, as commissioner, He says the sta tutes were never laid down definitely and precisely concerning bis duty with reference to the details of the work of the bureau and thai the eonunif> -doner was obliged to lay .ut work without direction in the statute boot, ami to use the appropriation for the pur poses specified in the act by law according to his own judgment, and this course, he says, has been followed by all bis predeces sors in office. With respect to the services rendered by the manufacturers in making fcur/ar evnerimeuts, he declares that they \^jy sSH§> n i^SJz^^^^} ! were by no means small, and the compen sation they received amounted to 5i,200 for each of the ten most carefully conducted ex periments, was considered no more than just and reasonable. lie stales that he ex pended the appropriation under the head of "Laboratory" In the purchase of machinery, In the purchase of seeds and the distribu tion of seeds of sugar producing plants, in a series of investigations in chemical analy sis and in manufacturing, all for the pur pose of carrying out the objects of the stat ute. All the items disallowed were ex pended in conducting the experiments pro vided for. Disbursements differing in no way from those complained of wen' allowed by the treasury department in 1889 and 1888, but are now disallowed together with the account of labor employed in the work of distribution. THE BI'CKEI'K FIGHT. . Republicans Arraigning tin' Pro* liibitionihtN in a Lively manner. Special to the Globe. Columbus, 0.. Aug. 12. —There arc a number of the formerly reliable old Repub lican Prohibitionists in this city, who hold indignation meetings now about every evening and express themselves In bold terms concerning the abuse which is being heaped upon them by the breast-beaters and whipper-snappers, who have un dertaken the job of sending them out of the party. They argue the question from all reasonable standpoints, and foil to see why they should be made the objects of daily attack, simply for the season that they have concluded that the Republican party is no longer a tit in strument by which to accomplish prohibi tion and reform. They are charged with being in league with the Democratic party "-'accomplish a purpose, and in order to silence them they are threatened with ex posure and a general ripping up of one George W. Calderwood, who formerly worked the Pprohibiti of this section for a small amount of glue on the ground that he was able to accomplish something for the cause. One of these double-action politicians, who has concluded to go STRAIGHT FOU PROHIBITION this time and leave the Republican party to take care of itself, remarked last evening on the relations of the parties to each other: "The Democratic party,** he mid, ''was in favor of license straight and opposed to pro hibition, according to their declarations, and the Republican party was opposed to license. in favor of taxation and neither for nor against prohibition. The latter la opposed to bath taxation and license and consequently, Lf they were to accept the statement made in the letter of Chairman Btishnell of the lb-publican com mittee, that they wore neither for nor against prohibition the natural course would be in ease they should not vote their own ticket, to vote that of the Re publican, but they lind themselves being abused unnecessarily by the Repabllcau press for no apparent reason fur ther than the fact that the prohibition Republicans are this time going to vote the straight prohibition ticket. All this howl about a Democratic-prohibi tion alliance is being WOBKED ixnrsTniorsr.Y I at the present time in the Republican press on the theory that those of the prohibition ists who aided by their rates to keep the g. o. p. iii power will still go in that direc tion if they can be made to believe that there is such an alliance. There is not. however, much lik lihood that intelligent men will be led to believe that there is my alliance with a party which is In favor of a license and which has announced itself as opposed to prohibition, while the Republi can chairman has not seen tit to admit so much. Rut the whole affair resolves itself into the fact that the Republicans are too early in the field ami the committee in or der to give satisfaction must make some pretense of work and the Prohibitionists are the only element in sight just now. A Very Bad Selection. Denver, CoL, Aug. 12.—a P. dudd. appointed by the president.

Chicago, Aug. 12.—At a meeting of the Grant Monument board to-day the different subscription books were examined, and '.t was ascertained that the subscriptions have already exceeded the sum otiirinaiy aimed St, $40,000. As subscriptions are still be ing received at the various newspaper oiiices, and as « benefit is to be given at the theaters Thursday afternoon, from which large returns are expected, the fund will probably far exceed the intended sum before the books arc closed. ■ A Corpse U'aiiu a Drink.

The Minnesota & Northwestern Bead to be Sold to the Illinois Central Railway Company. Report of the Proposed Sale Credited by Those Acquainted with Mr. Stickney's Plans. Work on the l!urlln_ton*t» New _tne to St. Paul to be Commenced Immediately. A Xe-— Company Formed to Build a Line to ( lilt-ag fur the "Wis consin Central. **lf nnetota At > ortli wrolcni, There was a rumor in railroad circles yesterday that A. B. Stickney, president of the Minnesota & Northwestern road, had nearly completed arrangements for the dis- IKisalof his road to the Illinois Central Railway company. The rumor originated in Chicago, and a certain railroad otlicial in St. Paul late yesterday afternoon received a private dispatch from Chicago stating that there was a report there, which was generally credited, that the Illinois Central would become the controller and owner of the Minnesota _ Northwestern road within a few months, the time not yet being defi nite' known. The cot-tents this dispatch were confided to only a few, and. though it eat—ed a good deal of speculation, it was the general belief that the rumor, if it was Only such, was not far wrong. It was fur ther alleged that Mr. Stickney's recent visit to New York was for the purpose of seeing a number of the stockholders in regard to this matter and arrange things satisfactorily with them. William Lewis Boyle of Win nipeg, a director of the company and largely interested in it financially, made MMM remarks, it is claimed, wlien he was in St. l'aul some time ago that gave an im pression to certain parties that ■ certain ; juice was asked for the property, aud if that was given the road would be sold. None of the local directors know thing of the actions of Mi. Stickney. as whatever he does the director- consider well done, it is claimed thai at the annual election of directors on June :> there was a tacit under standing anions them that if a sufficiently good offer was made for the rand by any other company it would be disposed of. All the investors have considered the road a piece of property to speculate on, and bought stock with that understanding. President Stickney is now at Dubuque with ex-President Ackerman of the Illinois Cen tral, and this strengthens the idea that A SALE Is TO UK MAUL. Local officials of the line knew nothing about Mr. stickney and the reason of this trip to Dubuque, more than that he was down there, and. they believed, looking alter his Interests in building the Dubuque & Northwestern rand. While the report thai all arrangement- for the disposal of the Minnesota _ Northwestern may be prema ture. It is likely that it will be sold. Some believe that by Jan. 1, 1888, the Minnesota & Northwestern will be a part of the Illinois Central ana operated as such. The Illinois Central l- now a large sys tem, and well-backed financially, and, with the other huge systems, must in tins have its own line to the Northwest and become a direct competitor for the wheat and mill ing traffic, By securing this rand it would have I splendid line, one which would give it direct connection to all' Southern] points, what it has been Waiting for some time past. Mr. Stickney's ]'*>>' is well known to railroad men. Of tin- many railroads bo has built, not one of them did be build with the intention ofope***_*ngthemaa Independ ent lines, but built them for speculation. and he has made money by doing so. lie lias all along claimed, however, that the Minnesota _ Northwestern would be oper ated entirely by the Minnesota & North western I'ailroad company, and that no other corporation would have control of the line alter it was in condition to In- operated. A certain gentleman well acquainted with A. 15. Stickney's affairs regards the rumor given above as highly probable, and when asked his opinion as to Mr. Stickney's course after disposing of the road, mid be believed he would continue scheming, ami inside of a year or two would have a new line planned. Mr. Stickney's actions are very difficult to understand. If he had Intended selling out. it is rather a queer thing thai he would have contracted to build and BO.***" the Dubuque _ Northwestern, lt was his in tention to push the work on that line and have it completed this season, but iv a recent conversation with a Globs reporter he stated that be would not build more than eight miles of the line this season. It might be that he fat doing this to get the work in such a condition that he will have to pursue it to completion, and took this contract knowing that by next season be would have nothing else to engage .is at tention. It'- regarded by well-posted railroad Men as a property worth upwards oft 53.500.000. The line -. for has cost abou S'i.-'oo.ooo, or a lit;.- over **-*0.000 per mile, and when trains run Into St. Paul it will have cost about $2,500,000. The rumor has led to Much speculation, and de velopments are awaited with Interest *Vot Rented 'Nor Confirmed. The rumor thai Gen. Adas Anderson, chief engineer of the Northern Paciflc road, will retire is neither denied nor confirmed by officers of that company. While they hold thai such Is probably the case, they are not in a position to say anything about it. It is quite probable, however, that he win. as nearly all the construction work of the company is finished or well under way. and the services of such a man. when the work under construction Is completed, will be no longer required. That the construc tion department will V put under the juris diction 0 ( Assistant General Manager Udell, chief of the operating department, is an error- so Mr. Udell claims. Mr. Anderson is one of the best known and most thoroughly coui--etcnt engineers in the United States, and in his present position commands a salary of $15,000 a rear. lie was born at lUdgeway.

The office of pur chasing agent will also be at this point, although tliat official has not yet been named. All the preliminary arrangements of the force arclad;citivecf a purpose to commence active work at once. Opinion in the East has crystalizcd into a belief sup ported by numerous facts pointing to a con clusion that the Burlington & Northern Manitoba mads will work in harmony, and that Mr. Touselin aud his associates have become heavily interested in the latter road. While there may be no such thing as the Manitoba passing into or under absolute control of the Burlington, heavy stockhold ers in the latter have become large investors in the former and to such an extent as to establish a community of interest Mr. Touselin Is credited with being the projector of the new road so far as its comprehensive and far-reaching plans to* control the Northwestern traffic are concerned, and it will be carried to a working conclusion un der his i>ei-sonal direction. *Vo >eed to Surmise. Special to the Globe. Milwaukee. Aug. 12.—A1l further necessity for surmise in regard to the pro posed action of the Wisconsin fen.. is laid at rest, E. 11. Abbott, a trustee of the road, said to-night that the trustees of ; the Wisconsin Central line have no further J need to continue negotiations with the St I Paul people, as they had arranged for ter . minal facilities over another line i which was to be bull from Chi- ; cago to >chle.s'ni-etviile via Waukesha. The road from Chicago to the _b*** : Hue will lie built by a company known as I the Chicago & Wisconsin. The continua- i tion of the line from the state line Schlu- j sincer will be ma by a corporation known as the Chicago, Wisconsin & Northern. ; These companies hare been at work secur ; ing the right of way for some time, and now are in a position to proceed rapidly with the construction of th roads. When com pleted, it will lie leased by the Wisconsin & Minnesota, oue of the links in tie Wis consin Central chain, extending j from Abbattsford to Chippewa Falls. : When asked how the new line would I enter Chicago, Mr. Abbott said it would be I over the Chicago & Western. lie said it was a matter w -•me conjecture as to when I the line would be ready for use, but he should not J>e surprised to see cars running 1 into Chicago over the hew line before the beginning os the new year. The contract I for the construction of the new line had not i been let, but would be at once. The money was all ready and the new line would be pushed rapidly. In regard to Milwaukee business Mr. Ab bott id if the trustees could conclude a satisfactory arrangement with the Mil waukee & St. Raul people for track facili ties between Schleisingvilie and Milwaukee for St. Raul business, they WOU}ddo so, if not, then the same pressure which forced them to find another outlet to Chicago would force them to find track facilities in another direction for the transaction of business. In that ease a line would be con st meted from sonic point on the new line to Milwaukee. Anl'nlnvoraM" >liom ing. Boston*. Mass.. Aug.

To the Editor of the Globe: Please decide the two following ques tions, and oblige a number of your patrons: First, is a man out who. in running from second to third base, shouts to a fielder who is about to catch a batted ball, "You can't catch that ball! you can't catch that ball*?** second, is a man out, who, in run ning to first base at the same time that the first base—tan is catching the ball from short stop, runs inside of first baseman, the base man being ten feet from the base on the line? Yours, etc., A. Ciuppen, Baldwin, Wis.. Aug. 12. First —It is the business of the runner to make the circuit of the bases without im peding the fielders by word or act. and the remarks you attribute to a player would not be allowed in professional games. Second The runner is out. FIERCE FLAMES. An Early 31 ruins: Blaze Destroy ing Property in Cleveland. Cleveland, Aug. 12.—About 1:30 firo broke out in the planing mill of the Sturte vant Lumber company on the flats. Three steamers responded to the alarm, and by effective work succeeded in partially subduing the flames. The fire broke out afresh a few minutes ago, however, and is now burning furiously and spreading rap idly. The dry house and many lumber idles are in flames, and although four more steamers have been called, it is not prob able that the lire will soon be subdued. It will be impossible to get any detail of the loss and insurance for some time, as all is confusion about the scene of the tire, but the loss will be very great. It is supposed that the planing mill was struck by lightning, a thunder storm now being in progress here. Twelve steamers are now pouring water on the thanes, which have since spread to an adjoining lumber yard. Their efforts, together with a heavy fall of rain, are, however, rapidly proving effect- Ire, and it is now thought the loss will be kept within $100,000. _ A Plea for Kiel. Special to the Globe. Ottawa, Out, Aug. 12.H0n. William BlcDougall, who was appointed lieutenant governor of the Northwest previous to the Red river rebellion, has written a letter to the press on the constitutionality of Bid's trial. He says: "Among the constitu tional questions which suggest themselves to my mind as entitled to very grave con sideration in dealing with the Saskatche wan outbreak is the following: Has the Dominion parliament power under the terms aud conditions of the transfer of the Northwest territory to Canada to create criminal courts in that territory, with jurisdiction to hear and to determine cases of high treason without indictment by a grand jury, in the manner and form as required by the laws of En gland in all capital eases? With great defer ence to the superior attainments of those lawyers who have answered this question in the affirmative, I venture to express a decided opinion in the negative." After quoting the condition on which tho country was accepted, lie concludes. Can it be pretended that the legal rights of the North- tern territory have been placed under the protection of courts and competent juris diction by an act which subjects them to a trial and punishment for high treason by a court consisting of a stipendiary magistrate holding ofttee during the pleasure of six male persons selected by him? The com mon law of England secures to every person charged with felony Tim nan TO BE TRIED by a judge holding office for life or during good behavior and twelve jurors lawfully impaneled, an indictment by a grand jury, of whom at least twelve must agree in the finding, is the first step in the trial. This common law is declared to be the birth right of English subjects, who carry their laws with them whenever they go into new formed countries. In colonies formed by conquest or cession so much of the old laws remained in force as the conquerors may choose to accept. It will hardly bo contended Ihat Criminal laws of old France served in the Northwest territory after the cession of 1773. or that British subjects, half-breeds or others living there in ISSO, lost their birthright by transfer to Canada. Courts of competent "jurisdiction were guaranteed to inhabitants of the Northwest territory for their protection by the ward, order and pledge of her majesty under sanction of an act of the imperial parliament. I venture to predict that her majesty, through the ju dicial committee of her privy council, will interprete these words in their natural legal British common law sense and meaning.'* ■ Extraordinary Precautions.

The Disease Prevalent In Tonquln, Algeria, Odessa, Marseilles and Elsewhere. The Dilke Scandal—Gladstone's Pro posed American Trip—Thanking Egyptian Troops. Flogged in the Street. London, Aug. 18.— Pall Mall Ga zette this afternoon says: A well-known gentleman, who was recently appointed a member of the royal commission, was met on the staircase of his ollice on Indiana ave nue and soundly hogged by a gentleman who publicly accused him of having se duced ids daughter. The thrashing was preceded by a violent assault, the angry rather shaking the betrayer of his daughter like a terrier does a rat The father then flogged him until the stick was broken, when the bystanders interfered. A re porter of the Gazette, immediately after the flogging, interviewed the assailant. The latter said: "I shall flog the betrayer of my child whenever he crosses my path. You may publish my name, provided you publish Ins. If be feels aggrieved be can take ac tion against me. I should be only too glad to meet him in any way. I have no fear that he will be plucky enough to face me hi court. I have not done with him yet" l The reporter then called upon the man who bad received the thrashing and asked for his side of the story. The gentleman said: "The story told you by my assailant is non sense. I have not been flogged, The man struck me with a stick and abused me. It is merely a case of blackmail of a peculiarly bad kind. The statement that I had be trayed the man's daughter is absolutely false.* 1 Mr. Fearce of the Elders, shipbuilders, is the hero of the Gazette story. The man who thrashed Pearce is named Francis.

The average of depart ure- from Marseilles by railway alone has already increased 2,000 per day.

The captain's daughter died of cholera aboard the ship. He at once notified the authorities and requested a disinfection of the vessel. Although at noon to-day thirty hours had elapsed since the girl's death, no official action lias yet been taken concern ing the event by the Marseilles authorities. IN" TONQUIX. Paris, Aug. 12.—Gen.

The government has ordered the governors of provieesto suppress lazerettos, but the governors are in many instances powerless to carry out the orders. The Gazette to-day says that in THE PAST TWENTY-FOUR HOURS 6,464 new cases of cholera and 109 deaths, have been reported from 530 towns in thirty-six provinces. This is the highest number of victims ever reported. Tho Gazette calls upon the government and higher classes to combine in efforts to alleviate the national calamity.
