Special DIspatoh to the Dally Eazle. Sedalia, Mo., June 10. At a meeting about a month ago of a number of those who wore the blue and gray in the war of 1801-65, and who belieye it was ended fully twenty-six years ago, it was decided that it was not only feasiole, but humane, lib eral and sensible, to hold an interstate en campment in Sedalfa on the 3d and 5th day1; (inclusive) of July next, at which thousands who were once arrayed in deadly conflict against each other may be brought together In their declining years for a grand "love feast" and a good hand-shaking time. No one will be required, or even expected, to attend in uniform or in organizations, but simply as citizens of both the blue and the gray, with their families and friends. All will be wel come, and a gener.il good time may confi dently he expec ed. On July 4th there will be a grand old fashioned barbecue given at the encamp ment grounds (fair grounds), with its beautiful shades,, drives and buildings for every comfort. Invitations have been sent to the follow ing states (twelve in number): Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michi gan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkan sat, Texas and Missouri, besides to many gentlemen of national reputation through out the United States, many of whom will be the speakers for the occasion. Amusements of various kinds will be on the grounds during the entire encamp ment. The crand parade of all the old soldiers of both sides, citizens and mili tary organizations will take place on the morning of July 4. Our hotel accommodations are ample for all who prefer them, but comfortable ouarters for sleeping will be provided for those who may de&lre to remain on the grounds over night and will bring their blankets with them. Reduced railroad rates may bo procured by applying in time to the local ticket agent and furnishing him with the num ber who wish transportation. AN UNDERGROUND RIVER. Sedaua, Mo., June 10 A swiftly-flowing underground river has been discovered in the southern portion of this (Pettis) countv. The streim is known to be twen ty five" feet in denth, and the top of the water is twenty-six feet below the surface of the earth. The river was discovered by a farmer, J H. Miller, who Iips for years resided eighteen miles southeast of Se dalia. For a long time past the members of Mr. Miller's family have heard at inter vals queer rumblinizs as of an earthquake or appro iching storm. Last, Saturday afternoon a roaring, crashing noise from the orchard, near the house, brought the members of the family to the spot in a body, and the mystery was explained. The land in the vkinity of Mr. Miller'-, place is coinpara tnely level, and in the orchard a great hole, over sixteen feet iu diameter, was visible. The earth hud caved in awl the pnce is constantly growing larger. A smoke-house that stood near had to be moved to prevent it falling into the river. Measurements were taken, and it wan found to be fifty-one feet from the top of the ground to the bottom of the water. How wide the river is cannot be told. Several vears ago an attempt was made to drill a well close by, and, after reaching a ceitain depth, the 'tools were lost. It was supposed a pocket had been struck, and the work stopped. THE WORM DEFIED. Colchester, 111., June 10. Many strange things hsve been told concerning the secrets of the grave. Within the past few months discoveries have been made in Missouri and Iowa that people have been buried alive, but the strangest discovery was made here a few days, viz.: That, af ter having been buried twenty-one years, the body of Miss Flora Hume is in as per fect a coudition as the day she died. Twent3-one years ago the lady died in St. Paul of pneumonia, and the body was brought to Colchester and buried in the Argyle cemetery. That cemetery has Ioug since fallen into disuse and recently it was laid out in nicely improved crounds. The few graves in it were removed, and amonc the dead was the body of MUs Hume. It was enclosed in a metallic case. This was covered with a heavy coat of rust. When the cover was removed there lay the body perfectly intact. The fea tures were readily recognized by relatives and the clothing looked perfectly fresh. Even a ribbon of delicate tint about the neck was as bright and fresh as when it had been first put on. The face was not in the least discol ored and the body was full and round. In fact, the corpse looked as if it might have been buried only a few hours. A STRANDED STEAMER. CHICAGO, June 10. A private dispatch received here today says the passenger steamer Idaho, ttranded on the shore of Lake Superior, ib in the utmost peril and h going to pieces. A heavy north gale is blowing, and she is in the most dangerous spot. The special train carrying wrecking pump. ispatched to her assistance, leacned Duluth last night. The pumps were loaded on a steamer and left at once for the wreck. The Idaho lies ten miles west of Ontauagon, the most deserted and wildest spot on the south shore of Lake Superior.

THE JUNE CROP REPORT. Washington, June 10. The June re port of the statistician of the department of agriculture makes the area in winter wheat, compared with the breadth har vested last year, 111.5: spring wheat, 103 4; barlev, 107.1; rye. 101.3. oats, 97.0. uonui tions: Winter wheat, 5 0; spring wheat, 92 6; barley. 00.3: rye, 93.4; oats, 83. In comparison with lSS'J, the increase in the wheat acreage is quite moderate. The reduction last year of more thau 2,000,000 acres sugests the reason for most of the present increase. This advance is there fore both a replacing and a development of the former area, notably in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, California, Washington, Oregon, the Dakota and iu several terri tories. These violent fluctuations make the investigation difficult, and in some districts will render necessary supplemen tary work. To this extent the present es timates may be considered pr-liminary. The condition of winter wheat has de clined only 1 per cent. The averages arc: Now York 90. Pennsylvania 97, Georgia 9S, Texas 9n Ohio 99Mirhigan 90, Indiana 99, Illinois 93, Missouri 99, Kansas 98. The first montly statement of the averace of sprins wheat makes Wisconsin 77. Minne sota S9, low.i 9U, and the D ikotas 90 Chicago, Juue 10. The Farmers' Review reports the condition of winter wheat for the week as average or above in all the winter wheat states except Wisconsin, where oulv two counties rej ort an average. Corn is doing well and reports show an average crop in all the s ates except Ken tucky and .Michigan, where it is not doinir so well as in the states to the north. Spring wheat is reported as thriving in all states except Kansas where it is doing fair. Fruit in the northern sections of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan has been damaged bv the frosts. In other states it is in fine condition. St. Petersburg, June 10. An official report says that the field of winter wheat is expected to be below the average and that a large deficit in the rye crop is certain. The council of the empire ha- approved a new tariff of a strongly protectionist cnar acter. It is expected that it will be pub lished in July. The ministry of finance is about to establish specid agencies in Great Britain, France, Italy and other countries consuming Russian corn to sunervise the work of extending grain im ports from Russia. EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH. WASHINGTON. June 10. Dr. A. D. Mayo who has spent twelve years in the promo tion of educational work in the south, has been employed by the national bureau of education in the preparation of a circular concerning southern educational interests. In conversation with a reporter concern inchis work, the doctor, among other thincs, said: "The recent upheaval of the Farmers' Alliance in southern politics in some of the states, especially in South Carolina, seems to have deranged the upper story of state university education; but this is probably onlv a temporary disturbance, and is due to" the growing desire lof the masses of the white peopie for a better system of country schools. For the past twenty years, since 1870, the southern peo ple have done the greatest job in founding for the first time the American system of free elementarv education for all clases and both races'that has ever been achieved under anything like similar circumstances in the historv of education. "In addition to tnis, tuey have recon structed their entire system of the second arv and hicber education for the white people, so that it is better by far than be fore the war. They hive a'so expended during these vears perhaps S50.000.ftX) for the education of the nesroes. of course, larVely at the expense of the wnite people. During thi time the north and tbe nation have probably invested some $25,000 000, chiefly in the superior training of from 15.000 to 20.000 of the better class of col ored youth for teachers and leading posi tions among the-e people "But of course this great work, so cred itable to the southern people, is only tbe beginning of what mut be done if tbe formidable illiteracy of that portion or te countrv is to be overcome in reascnao! t me. At present thr border stat-s -t Marvland. Wet Virginia and Miss ur., with" Virginia, Tennessee, and Texas, have made the greatest progress. Bat even in all, save two or three, of these states the progress in popular education has oecn most marked in the cities and villages. The southern people of both races are rap idly following the example of the rest of the world in drifting into towns and cities, leaving the green country often deprived of its most vigorous and enterprising pop ulation.' Thus the city and town popula tion is largely handling the money of the country, and able to establish the graded school system according to the best mod ern methods prevailing elsewhere. Almost every southern city of 10,000 people has now a graded school system of both races, generally worth supporting, and often of superior merit. The smaller towns of two or three thousand, and upwards are falling into line. But three-fourths of the south ern children still live in the open country, and here is the weak side of southern edu cation, as, indeed, it is everywhere. "In a few of the most favored states there is nominally a common school of four or five months a year, although the distance, bad weather, separation of the races, and the feeling of poverty among the country people is a great impediment. The lack of good school houses is one of the createst hindrances. The teachers in the country schools are poorly paid, and although improving, are otten incompe tent. The better class of white people are often unable to get much put of these schools for their own children, though contributing to their support heavily for their neighbors of both races. "Probably not more than t0 per cent of the children of the real school age, between o;- onH fnnrtoon nr in resrular attend ance four months in the year through the south, regarded as a whole, although the enrollment, which signifies only the put ting 'in of the appearance at a school house, s much larger. "The burning question among the edu cators of the south is, How to (leal wicn this creat problem the education of the masses in the country districts so that the present generation of children will get something like a fair start in life? At present "thousand's, far more than are known, are growing up in ignorance, and other thousands getting but a scanty out fit for intelligent citizenship. It isa ques tion whether, notvithstandmg the admit ted prosperity of certain portions of the country, a majoritv of these states are in a condition where it is reasonable to ex Dect this work can be done. Indeed, the contributions of the south to the educa tion of its children are not far below the similar appropriations in New England, considering the great difference m the val uation of taxable property, while New England has virtually all her children and the south not two-thirds of hers in good working schools. In recard to the race question Dr. Mayo said: "I believe the only question that need disturb the country in the south is the educational problem. Indeed, the one peril of our country is the presence at the bottom of societv anywhere of that barbar ism we call by the dictionary name, illit eracy,' which is nothing more or less than a compound of ignorance, superstition, shiftlessness, vulgarity and vice. Uur country can endure tbe strain of a great deal of barbarism in the lower regions, but there is a dead line here which is almost reached by many portions of the country. Ic is bv no means certain that the lower class barbarism of the south is more dan gerous to the country than the similar bar barism, especially of our great northern cities. But until this element in our civil ization everywhere is largely reduced by the working together oi an luubc...--public and private, which are included in the word 'enucatiou,' we need expect little relief from any of the numerous political or social quack medicines that are urgeU upon the people. . "It has been demonstrated to all lair minded people that the negro, as a race is capable of the education that will make him a useful, neaceable, and generally helpful citizen of the United States. That is all the country is concerned Yu What his futuro social position will be, bow far he can equal the white race in any realm of industry, culture or general sue rocs must be dotarniinvXl by himselt. There was never so grand an opening for a magnificent demonstration of the mis sionary spirit in the church in connection with the highest patriotism as in the pres ent call for a great movement -of the mericau people to give to the i.OW.uuu ot colored citizens that kind of trainingre ligious, industrial and mental which shall develop that habit of self-help, with out which not only American citizenship, but freedom is only a name." MINISTER PORTER. WASHINGTON, June 10. It is denied pos itively at the state department that Mr. Porter, our minister to Italy, has been re called, lie is on leave of absence. In is stated that he will not leave Europe; but, nevertheless, there is reason to believe that his leave of absence from Rome will be so indefinite in terms as to warrant him in delaying his return to his post until some step has been taken by the Italian government looking to the return of its minister to the United States. There are diplomatic reasons why this state of af- I fairs should exist, wituoiu au umi statement oi tne reasouo, .u . - left to implication. THE SEAL CATCH LIMIT. Washington, June 10. The govern ment has notified agents on the seal is lands to stop the killing of seals by the North American company when it has taken 7,o00, the number of seals which the administration in its correspondence with the British government for a close sea sou" made one of the conditions of agree ment on the ground that it will be neces sary to permit the sealeries company to take this number as compensation for the expense of supporting and providing for the welfare of the natives who live on the islands. When this number is taken seal killing will be stopped. A proposition was made by Minister Pauncefote to the president that authority be "iven the British government to station ana"ent on the seal islands to make sure that the North Ameucan Commer cial company does not kill more thau the 7,500 seals fixed on In the agreement for a clo-e season in Bering sea.

Sir William Gordon Cummings was married at 10 o'clock this morning in the fashionable Holy Trinity church at Chelsea to Miss Floience Gar ner, daughter of the late Com. William Garner, of New York City. Lord Thur low gave the biide away and Maj. Vessey Dawson, of the Coldtsream guards, was the best man. The Rev. Robert Eyton of ficiated. The marriage was practically a secret marriage. Only twelve persons were present. Lady and Sir William Gor don Cummings left the city shortly after the ceremony for the bridegroom's estate Altyre Forest, in Scotland, where they will spend their honeymeon. In an interview today Sir William Gor don Cummings said that he had nothing to add to what had been said in the wit ness box. The popular opinion over the verdict, he added, was shown by the dem onstrations in court. He refused to say anything in regard to what the newspa pers say aboub the verdict, saying that they were at perfect noerty to say wuat they pleased. After the verdict had been announced Sir William again offered to cancel his engagement to marry Miss Gar ner, but that lady, believing in his inno cence, would not hear of such a thing and insisted that their marriage should be cel ebrated today. Sir William attributes the verdict en tirely to the summing up and charge of Lord Chief Justice Lord Coleridge. He has received over 700 letters expressing sympathy with him.

Sir William Gordou dimming has re signed from nil the clubs of which he was a member. His costs in the suit were ?2o,000. London, June 10. Echoes of the famous baccarat trial still till the air. The solic itor aeneral, Sir Edward Clarke, is ill and thorounhlv exhausted today. He has un- tirel lost the use of his voice and is obliged to retire from cases in Which ho was retained for today. The denunciation of the prince of Wales by the newspaper press, especially by the tory press, has caused a tremendous sensation through out Great Britain, and it is freely asserted that the revelations made during the trial have done more to imperil the monarchy than any event which has taken place in England for many years. A synopsis of the court proceedings was telegraphed each night to the queen, and her majesty is said to have expressed her displeasure in such strong terms that Truth of this city, asserts that it would not be surprised if it would be the cause of the resignation of the earl of Coventry as master of her majesty's buckhouuds. The queen does not attempt to conceal tho fact that she is nugry with everyone connected with the baccarat scandal, and the effects of the royal displeasure may be felt iu sev eral quarters. At Ascot yesterday the prince of Wales was visibly nervous until after he received a dispatch announcing the verdict of the jury. After that ho took no pains to con ceal the pleasure he felt at the result. The Star today says: "The prince of Wales is the male head of the race. The women of his house are virtuous, aelf-re-strained and reliant. The English people throughout the world want the meu to be more like the women of this royal line. This is a proud country, and the man who aspires to represent Englishmen must keep even-thing about him fresh and bright, and must be exceedingly jealous of his reputation, and must not be known as a baccarrat banker and as a specialist in gaming counters." At the primitive Methodist conference now being held at Northampton several speakers deuounced the prince of Wales for the share he took in tho baccarat scan dal. In addition some ot the speakers urged that the prince of Wales should not be allowed to ascend the throne unless he abandon gambling The conference will consider tomorrow some resolutions upon this subject which will be presented to it. MACDONALD'S FUNERAL. OTTAWA, OnL, June 10 From early morning to the hour of the funernl a con stant stream of people availed themselves of the opportunity to view the face of the late premier for the last time.

Such an utterance could not long be kept secret, but nowhere will it create more astonishment than in Germany. CANADIAN FOREST FIRES. Quebec June 10. All the forests along the Lake St. John railway appear to be doomed to almost total destruction, unless rain falls very shortly. From tho termln ons of the railway at Rcberval, on the shores of Lake St. John, to Lake SL Joseph, only twenty-five miles from this city, one connected belt of fire seems to be sweeping onward through tbe wholo re gion on the Laurentian division of the Lake St. John railway. All the woods in the parts surrounding Lake St. John seem to be on fire, and at Riviere-a-Piere, a station on the Lake St. John raliway, over half a dozen houses have been burned. Other large fires, in addition to that on the south shore, which has already licked up the village of Black Lake, are reported to be racing in the Sagnenay district.

D.. president of tho National Fed eration of America, has issued an address to "the fri'-nds In America of home rule in Ireland." Tho address says that the Irish people have almost lost their cause when success seemed almost within their grasp. For months past every effort has been paralyzed through the acts of one man, who sinned and fell by hts own hand, lie thus betrayed tho welfare of the coun try so blindly trusted to bis guidance, and drag"ed the chato name of Ireland into the "gutter with his own reputa tion. The necessity of helping th starving, evicted tenants of Ireland was deeply appreciated in wins ioum,ij, aud a noble effort was made to effect the purpose. Parnell was pleased to carry out the object, but he betrayed the trust by duplicity and equivocation. Parnell stands todav respon-d bio for the present suffering of" the evicted tenants of Ireland, so far as they might have been mitigated by the use of the Paris funds, in applica tion of which he has refused to join with the other custodians. The fund consist of over 200.000, tho greater portion of which was raised in this country. This he now holds as his political position by false pretenses. The people of tals coun try are too sharp not to appreciate his purpose. Continuing, the address says that Par nell is politically dead and can never bo resurrected to a position of triiht.

Its officers form a board of trustees for tho purpose of controlling and transmitting funds to the properly consti tuted authorities of the National party in Ireland.
