TIIE CHICAGO MEETING.
A HAY OP FINE 81’ORT.
The otloncinnco at tbo Driving Park races yes
terday was not largo, Monday being a bad day
for sport of that character. Tho 2.800 people
who wero present, however, witnessed some very
(food racing, four events being decided. Tbo
unfinished 2:80 raco, tho first heat of which was
won Saturday by Troubadour In 2:2054, was final
ly captured by that horse, although the third
boat was taken byJ. 0. Thomas tn 2MBJ4, thus
winning for him tho *SOO extra ottered to tbo
horse trotting tho fasting heat, If tho same was
better than 2:21. Tho result of tho race proves
Troubadour to bo n first-class horse, and bis
owner, Mr. J. H. Havorly Is to bocougratulatod
upon tbo possession of bo fast and reliable an
animal. Tbo 2:23 rftco proved a surprise to
everybody, and n disastrous one to, betting men.
On tbo strength uf bis previous performances,
Josephus was made favorlt in tho taco, Abdal
lah Boy also soiling well up In tho pools. Wheth
er or not Josephus would have been successful
had ho been possessed of bis usual speed, Is
questionable, but It is certain that hownsni no
condition yesterday to do himself Justice, this
being duo to tho fact that bo was very unwisely
driven a mile In *2:1754 Sunday morning,—a
performance which effectually dissipated
any chance bo may have had of
wluolng tbo rnco. Tho Kentucky mare
Fanny Witherspoon had tho speed of tho entire
party and won handily In straight boats, Flor
ence getting second money, Abdallah Hoy third,
and Dig Soap fourth. Of forty-throo nomina
tions for tbo 2:40 race only eight camo to tbo
post, and Kate McCall was so much tho.bcstof
these that sbu bad no difficulty In winning, tbo
only bone capable of forcing her to show speed
being George K. Trinket won tho free-for-all
race from Charlie Font and Hopeful In tbo easi
est possible manner, not being obliged to trot
faster than 2:1854.
During tbo afternoon tho celebrated pacer
Little Drown Jug made two efforts to boat 2;12<4,
but was unsuccessful, the first boat being in
2:15 and thu second In 2:1454. Ho will pace an
other heat to-day.
Tbo horses in
THE UNFINISHED 2:30 HACK,
ono beat of which was trotted Saturday, were
llrst called up, and,after un hour's delay, caused
by Troubadour aud auuloW. throwing shoes,
wore sent away to a somewhat straggling start,.
Indicator being on a break when tbo word was
given. J. 1). Thomas broko boforo reaching tbo
turn, and. ns Annie W. followed suit. Trouba
dour soon led tho wtlolo field ten lengths, trot
ting tbo llrst quarter in *ls seconds. Thomas
made a second break before getting to the
nmirtor pole, and was out of the race, but Aunlo
W. went along fust and took second placo soon
after half u mllo bud boon trotted. A second
break on tho lower turn set bor back some, but
she Utilsbod second to Troubadour, who Jogged
in three lengths ahead in 2:2ft. Ktbol Medium
was third, Indicator fourth, Thomas Uftb, und
Bosowoou lust.
Troubadour now sold 8100 to (33 over tbo Held.
Tho start was a good uue, but by the time tho
turn was reached Thomas bad oomo across from
tbo outsido and sot sail after Trouba
dour, who was two lengths In tbo lend,
tbo others bomg out of tho .race so far
m first mohoy was concerned. When tho friends
of J. 11. Thomas saw that bo was going steadily
they took hope, knowing him to bo fust enough
for almost any company. Troubadour was sent
for all bo was worth, passing the quarter In 30
seconds, tho half In l:iW5, aud tho tbrep-qunr
ters In 1:44U, Thomas slowly creeping up to
him all tho way, Johnson sitting like u statuo
In tno sulky, while Dustin behind tho black
homo was already beginning to whip. When
they mitered tbo home-stretch Johnson swung
hlsnorao woU to tho centre of tho track, und
ciiido along at a fearful puce, but, in splto of all
bo could do. Troubadour had tho boat won ut the
d [stance stand. Both burses wuro o vldontly very
tired, but just thou Troubadour made a sprawl
ing break, and ran all tho way to tbo wire,
Thomas ilnlahlng half a length behind him.
Troubadour's time was 2:1»K, but tbo Judges
awarded the heat to Thomas, with n record ot
thus capturing tho fftOU extra money to
tbo winner of tho fastest beat.
Tbo result of this heat gave tho bookers of
Thomas coutldonco, and In the pools boforo tho
fourth bout bo sold forehand the Hold 830.
Tbo start was an excellent one, bat Troubadour
was uuablo to tako tho polo from Thomas, who
kept a load of n length all tbo way from thowlro
to the bead of tho homo-stretch, the quarter
being passed In 33 seconds, tbo half In 1 ill, and
tbo three-quarters In 1:48. Down the home
stretch Thomas maintained bis lend until at tbo
distuiieo-stund. where bo broke. Troubadour

franco's Alexander and tbo Chicago stallion

Piedmont tbo stallion race here last Tuesday,
will make tbo race a good one, and horsemen all
over tbo country are Interested In tbo result.
That both horses will bo sent to win there Is no

Druggists Who Won’t Stand

The Banks to Bo Canvassed far AU
Who Will Bisponse with
' the Service.
Tbo Anglo-American Man Observes that
AH that Is Needed Is
Capital.
An adjourned mooting of tho physicians nnd
druggists was hold last evening at tbo College
of Pharmacy, corner of Michigan avenue and
Van Huron street, for tbo purpose of continu
ing tho protest against what Is deemed an un
necessary and extortionate Increase in the
charges of tho Chicago Telephone Company.
Some fifty gentlemen wore present. Tho moot
ing was called to order by Dr. Kellogg.
A Committee, appointed nt tbo preceding
meeting, reported that they had held several
meetings to consider tho situation. Tbo propo
sitions nmdo by the Anglo-American Telephone
Company woro too Indollnlt to bo considered
final or complete. Enough was loomed, how
ever, to warrant tbo hope that matters might bo
shaped so Uiat a Uofintt conclusion could bo ar
rived at In a reasonable lime. Tho Committee
recommended that tho physicians ond druggists
now subscribers to tbo Chicago Telephone Ex
change not together in
DESISTING THE PROPOSED ADVANCE
In rates, and that a committee of fourteen, rep
resenting tho different sections of tho oily, bo
appointed by tho Chair to obtain tbo signatures
of all subscribers who would agree ton cessa
tion of telephone service at such a data as might
bo decided upon by tbo committee. Tho report,
which was adopted, was signed by William B.
Clark, Henry Uuou, Edward W. Loo, and Thom-
M The committee thus provided for was, later In
tho meeting, constituted as follows:
West Bide—E. F. Ingnls, B. W. Leo, M. W, Bor
land, C. U. WUson. A. O. vogelcr. _
North Bldo—Henry Goetz, L. 0. Waters, Dr.
McArthurs, M. Hesselroth.
South Side—lL 11. Cowdry, I. H. Fry, A. IL
Jackson. T. 11. Hoync. .
Tho Secretary road a number of communica
tions from professional gentlemen unable to bo
present, giving utterance to decided expression!
of dissatisfaction with, the present order of
things, and urging that tho demands of tho tele
phone service bo. not acceded x to. A
largo number ot bellicose letters from
leading physicians wore presented, but luolr
reading was dispensed with. A communication
from tho West Chicago Medical Society was re
ceived with applause. It was as follows:
lieeulvui. That tho West Chicago Medical So
ciety, now in session, semi greetings to tbo meet
ing called together by the extortionate action of
tho Chicago Telephone Company. Wo recom
mend that the physicians and druirglots act as a
unit In ordering out all telephones at the expi
ration of existing contracts. Wo see no other
proper course under existing circumstances,
and only regret that by such action tho general
public will no
PAH OHKATEH BUPFBUKRS
than the members of the professions.
O.M. Wnlnborgor, a druggist, sent In a letter
In favor of dispensing’with the service, unless
the Chicago Telephone Company would con
tinue tbo old rate. Tbo Company figured tbo
royalty at one cent a call, which,for thp average of
seven and one-half calls a day, would amount to
♦27.117 a year, whereas the royolty actually paid
was $lO per annum. Tbo Company was making
SOU por cent ou its investment, aud an Increase
in rates was an outrage. The proposition
of tbo Anglo-American Company was not worth
considering, bo thought, and hence tbo only •
course to follow was to unite in dispensing with
tbo service until furnished at tbo old rate.
Dr. William K. Clark recommended tbo or
ganization of a special telephone service for tbo
profession, and thought tbo proposition of the
Anglo-American Telephone Company would be
an advantageous one, provided 1C could bo freed
from legal restrictions. ■ , . , . .
Mr. 0. Urooks, President of the Anglo-Ameri
can Corapanv endeavored to address tbo meet
ing, but It was objected that tbo mooting was
onoof druggists and pbyslolims, and that they
bad no more lime to dovoto to the Anglo-
American Company. .. •
A druggist Informed tbo mooting that be was
“willing to flro the whole telephone business
out,” and, after tbo applauso bud subsided, an
other rose to his foot and volunteered tbo In
formation that tbo present service was -
AN UNMITIGATED NUISANCE,
nod bo badly managed (bat tbo Company ought
lo bo liable for damages. It Is needless to any
that bo mis willing to dispense with the service.
Mr. Brooks, of mo Anglo-American Company,
was finally given an opportunity to “make a
few brief remarks." Ho only wanted to correct
u mistaken Impression, bo said, that an Injunc
tlon was pending against bla Company. It was
anotbor company that was enjoined: not bis.
There would bo nothing but a lack of capital
that would prevent the organization of an Inde
pendent company as proposed. •
r Considerable talk followed to tbo offoot that a
separate telephone service was required. Noth
ing was actually accomplished, however, and
the meeting adjourned tor two weeks. t

vexed Presidential question In 1878, was com
posed of Hva Judges of tbo Supremo Court, Uvo
Senators, and flvo members of tbo House of
Uoproaoutntlvos. two of tbo latter being Itopub
llcans,—viz.: Hour and Garfield. Wbllo tbo
night sessions of the Commission were being
held at tbo Capitol, a rumor spread among the
Uopubllcans that an attempt would bo raado to
kill, kidnap, or disable ono of the two Uopubllo
an Uoprosoutatl vos. Tbo Commission stood seven
Democrats, seven Hcpubliuans, and one doubt
ful. If Hoar or Garllold could bo removed, tbo
House, being oolUrollod by Democrats, would
not bo llkuly to send anotbor Uepublican to
HU tbo vacancy. Cblot-of-Polleo lltcbards, of
Washington, became acquainted with tbo
plot, and ascertained that no Democratic
members of the House were concerned in it,
but tbac the conspiracy bad. its origin in Now
York. Hu was unable to obtain. sulllclont
evidence to warrant tbo arrest of any person,
and any attempt to do so without strong proof
would have beau hooted at: but It was deemed
prudent to have Messrs. Garfield and Hoar pro
tected by a body guard of vigilant friends. This
duty was undertaken 'by ilourcsouiatlvo Tborp,
of Ashtabula County, Ohio. £>. W.W llson. Assist
ant Chief of tboUuroau of Engraving and Print
ing: and Charles 8. Draper, lalo Deputy Bor
jtuimt-at-Arms of the donate. Any of those
gentlemen could verify those facts. ,
When the next evening session of tbo Com
mission closed and Messrs. Garllold and Hoar
approached tbolr carriage at tbo north front
of tbo Capitol, a number of apparently idle
spectators who were In tbo open space and
in tbo colonnade front of tbo donate whig
advanced toward Iho two gentlemen. In
stantly tbo three trusty frlunds. each armed
with two concealed revolvers, faced the party,
who butted. Two nf tbo osoort entered the car
riage with Garfield aud Hoar, and tbo other
mounted the box with tbo driver, all keeping a
bright lookout on tho way homo, especially at
Hour's hotel and at Garfield's bouse at Washing
ton avonuo mid 1 street; but, though small
groups of lookers-on appeared, no hostile
demonstrations were made. . ..
Tbo next night another session was bold, and
again tbo two Congressmen wore guarded by tbo
faithful friends, and tbo plot, if plot tbero was,
felt to pieces. Draper was slneo discharged by
Horgeant-ot-Arms Bright, after eighteen years’
service. ..
At that time, through fosr of ridicule, tbo
foots wore kept scorctt but, sfoco (ho shooting,
of tho President hi u railroad depot, It Is easy to
reullxu that tho desperate men who bolluvo in
“rule or ruin" would have hod no scruples
against the killing of both Garfield and Hoar, If
necessary fur tho accomplishment of their
purposes.
President Hayes* Peril In 1877*
muMiißhrn Corrui*nidtncs Xtw York Sun, '
A few days after (ho attempted auaslnation
of President Garfield It was announood that
there baa been committed to the SLElUabetb
Asylum fur tbo Insane a man who had threat
ened to ossoiluute llutberford U. Hayes. It was
said that but for the discovery of this man's
purposes ho would undoubtedly have accom
plished bis object on tho day that Mayes was In
augurated. There have been rumors of that
sort In Washington ever since tbo Inauguration
of Mr. Hayes, but they wore unsubstantiated,
and not generally credited.' It bos been learned,
however, that the announcement was true, and '
that ox-DUtrtot-Auornoy Joseph B. Hayden
was la possession of all the foots. Whoa
asked to make a statement concerning
It, Ur. Hayden at first declined, saying
that It had been kept‘very quiet at tho
deslro of Ur. Hayes, and that after four years,
and in view possibly of the presoot excitement,
it might bo well to say nothing about It. Ur.
Hayden remarked, however, that It was possi
ble that the threatened atsaslaation would be
mado the subject of Congressional Investigation
next winter, and when U was suggested to him
that if It was true there could be no barm in
publishing tho facts now, Mr. Hayden consented
to make a brief statement.
Mr. Hayden said that on March 8, 1877. there
came to Washington n man named William
Myers. Ills homo was In llllnos. Ho was a man
of gentlemanly address and pleasing manners,
and seemed to bo about 50 years old. Ho had
with him quite a largo sum of money, all In
gold. Ho registered at the Imperial Hotel, ond
was assigned to room 110. His appearance was
quiet, and attracted no attention, either on tbo
part of tho proprietor or tho other guests. At
about 10 o’clock on tho morning ol March 0
Mr. Hayden said that Hemet Myers accidently
at the Capitol. Mr. Hayden had boon employed
losomo capacity In the House of Representa
tives, and, therefore, bad the freedom of tho
Capitol. Ho wasocouslomcd frequently to show
strangers over tbo building, and it was In that
capnntty, ns a sort of guide, that ho had mot
dyers. Tho appearance of tho mon was so pro
lossessing, his manners so courteous, and Ins
conversation so good, that Mr. ,
toolshcd when ho discovered tbot ho (Myers) was
of unsound mind. In walking through tho
building with Myers, ho nsked m/. Hayden his
nnmo. “My name Is Joseph,” Mr. Hayden re-
I ’ 1 " Ah," mM Mycn, "tlmlhM ion. nil to no.
tow'did you know I desired to see this build
lHflr. Hayden says that ho thought nt first that
Myers was simply playing n Joko on him, and ho
answered him, saying: . . , ,
••Why, of course I know what you want, for,
as you say, God basdlrartcd you to mo.
Myers then took Hayden's arm, nnd. nrujir
some quiet conversation os they were
along, they reached tho rotunda. Myers turned
i ils” Do ?iot think ff you can deceive me, Joseph.
Foryou huvo not shown mo where my enemy
will stnnd when ho tnkos the onth of plHco.
Mr. Hoyden snw at onco that tbo stranger was
notlnhlsrlirhtmlnd.nnd ho dptemlncd to soo
exactly what ho meant. As Myers “P{* 0 “
nt bis enemy taking tho path of office, Mr. Hay
don surmised that bo desired to see tho ploog
whoro Mr. llnyoa would stand when ho received
tbo oath. Bo Mr. Hayden sold to him: .
•*Oh. yes, I had forgotten that 5 and ho took
Myers to tbo portico whoro UlO platform was
nervously out upon It, muttcr-
Ing something to himself, ond thou said to Hay-
Now wo will go to my hotel.” .
Mr. Hayden says thathedld not purpose to do
anything more than show Myers simple cour
toMes until this singular action was man fostcKl.
He decided to go with him to tho notol undsoo
If bo could fainom what tho strange man s pur
poses wore. They wont t° Myers room, and
after bo bad locked the door and dosed the
blinds nt tho window, ho out bis
Hayden’s shoulders and said: “ Joseph, God has
sent you to assist In tho dollveniUon of my
C °l{uVbon took from hla valise a slngularly-ac*
curate drawing of tho main lloor of ibe Lupltol
building, and also bad marked upon It tho exact
spot whore Mr. Hnyos would stand whoa receiv
ing tho oath. Myoro,pointed to that spot, and
where 1 shall gather him. Into the |
showed Mr. Hayden a ticket of ad
mission. which bo bud obtained from one of too
mures of the House or Senate, which would
nave admitted him to the atnnO. Mr. Ilnydon
said that It then Hashed upon him that this man
was Insane, or at least baa n delusion, and that
bo bad coma to Washington Impelled by .that
delusion, with tho purpose of ahuotlnK Mr.
Hayes while In the act of taking thcoath. While
meditating what wos host to do, Myers took
from his racket a twcnty-dollar gold niece and
placed it in a conspicuous position at tbo end of
the room, wont to the other oll ‘ , \ tur f P9,^ l '
drawing u revolver from his pocket, flred, the
bullet ‘bitting the coin exactly lathe.centra.
Ho thou turned to Hayden, and asked for his
approval of his marksmanship. Mr. Hayden bus
too pistol at this day. All of the barrels are
loaded except tho single one which was dis
charged at this gold piece. Mr. Hoyden then
became alarmed for bis own safety, and with
considerable dllOoulty, and only by humoring
| Myers In the notion that bo was his Joseph, sue-
I ccodod In gelling tho revolver from him. Mr.
Hoyden remained with Myers tho rest of that
doy, bis Idea being that It was possible that
Myers might bo the tool of some conspirator.
It that was so ho wished to And out all tho
fß M?.’nayden left Myors early on Sunday morn
ing, March 4, and wont to tho Capitol, where tbo
closing scones of tho Electoral count wore being
transacted. Hayden said that, becoming hqUb
flod that there was no conspiracy, bo boaaii to
study tho best method or taking Myers—or the
prophet, ns ho calls himself—lnto custody.
Hayden loft him under tho pretense that ho
would bo to Baltimore and got Gov, Carroll, a
man In whom Myers had expressed warm confl
donee, to come over to Washington and witness
the prophet’s Inauguration. Myers bod told
Hayden in some of the conversations that he
bad been commanded by Ood to do this act, and
that bo was George ‘Washington s heir to the
Presidency of tho>Uultod Slates. Hayden was
only able to leave Myers, however, by making
tbo suggestion to him,that ho needed rest In or
der to successfully go through the fatigues of
the Inauguration. >To this Myers assented, and
when Hayden quit Jho room ho looked tbo door
that ho wont at tho earliest pos
sible moment to tho police headquarters, whore
be mot Detective James MoUovlit, who Is still
an olhccr In Washington. MeUovltt, In •an afll
davit wnlcn Is now In Mr, Hayden s possession,
and which tbo writer saw, says that Mr. Hayden
oaino to tbo offleo,' told tho story of this man,
and desired that ha be token Into custody. Mo-
Devltt at once wont with Hayden, this being on
Sunday morning, for tho purpose of arresting
Myers. Wnen they entered Myers’ room, Mr.
Hayden Introduced MoDovitt to him as the prl
voto secretary of Gov. Carroll, and both sug
gested to Myers that ho go with them to soeGov.
Carroll. By this ruse they woro enabled to get
Myers Into a carriage, and ho was taken to
police headquarters. Ho was detained there
for a short tunc, and was pronounced Insane
upon an Inquisition inado by Drs. Elliott, John
son, and MeKlra, and on this Inquisition be was
Incarcerated In St. Elizabeth Insane Asylum,
whore bo was kept for over u mouth. Ho was
then sent for safe-keeping to Illinois, whore bo
Is now confined,still labprlngunilor the delusion
that he was the rightful Prcsldeut, although ho
bus no very clear recollection of what ho terms
the fraudulent and dishonest moans that woro
taken to deprive him of the otlico. _
Tho affair was kept very quiet ntMr.Uayos
request, In view of Uio excitable statu of public
fooling lathe time. Hut Mr. Hayes seems, ac
cording to Mr. Hayden, to hove exhibited fur
less gratitude than it. would ho supposed would
be shown by one man to another who bod saved
his life. Soon after Mr. Hayes was inaugurated
Mr. lloydcu went to tho White iluumlu Inter
cede for Executive clemency for a c lout of bis
who was being criminally prosecuted. This oc
casion was tho first time that be bud over spoken
toMr. Hayes of his service, and at Mr. Hayes
request bo gave him a detailed account of tho
affair. When ho hod done Hayes said:
“ 1 should like to havo you taku the Uluo Hook
and select any reasonable ofilc*? within my gift,
and I should bo happy to bestow it upon you.”
Mr. Hayden saldXt ho told Mr. Hayes that
ho bud nut ootno there to seek ou olllco. and that
bo had not voted for him for President. Mr.
Hayes replied that that would make no differ
ence, and gave him a sheet of his olllolnl paper,
and told him to make an application. Hayden
has this paper bow. Ho did make an upnliou-
Uon for a position as special agent of the Post-
Office Department. It .was indorsed by Mr.
Hayes, and ho bos this indorsement now. Mr.
Hayden did not receive the appointment, bow
dver, but was recommended after a longtime
by Hayes for a position as workman In tho
Treasury Department, a position which, of
course, bo did uot accept. About a year after
word Mr. Iluyos recommended him to Mr. Carl
Sohur* for a position in the Interior Depart
ment, and this resulted in bis being np-
Bjlnitnl temporarily to n laborers post
an m» .auiry-otW. bHl.oi.kU lljo dull*,
were clerical. Subsequently Mr. Hayden made
application for u promotion, and sent tho Appli
cation to tbo President fur his Indorsement.
Tbo President Indorsed upon It the special re
quest that It have favorable consideration, am)
sunt it, back to tbo department. Mr. Hayden
•till bus this paper, which the writer saw, Tho
Interest which those various papers and rocom
moodations have lies In the fact that Mr. Hayes
bos rtcoully denied over hovtug beard or any
such proposed attempt to assaslnalu him.
Mr. Hayden was in January, 18,u, appointed
to a position as copyist In the Pension Office,
and subsequently was appointed Assistant
United Btates District, Attorney, a position
which ho resigned a few months ago. Mr.
Hayden says that soon after resigning ho vis
ited Mr. Hayes at his homo InTromoni, 0.,
some time In April. Mr. Haves talked with him
over tbo service which ho hud done, and sug
gested that a word from him to Gen. Garfield
would procure him (Hayden) an official position
which would enable him to support bis family
without drawing upon tho estate of his wife,who
la wealthy. Mr. Hayden frankly jmufessed that
bo bad an ambition for political life, and that a
position In keeping with his years and ability
would havo been gratifying lo him. When ho
lolt Mr. Uuyoa tho latter sold that while bo did
not desire Mr. Garfield to pay his Hayes’) debts
or to bo put In tbo attitude of seeking to Inter
fere with the appointments of the now Adminis
tration. bo would bo tbo friend of tho man who
baU.aved bis life. Ho also suggested that Hr.
Hoyden Uy the fuels of his service before Presi
dent Uurtleld, and Intimated that ho would Pri
vately communicate with tbo President him
self upon bis .. arrival In Washlugion.
Mr. Hoyden called upon President Gar
field, who told him that bo would, very fa
vorably consider any .request that, Mr. Hayes
might make in his behalf. About ton days
afterward Harden called upon Uon. Garfield
again, and learned from Mr. Brown, the Prosl
deut’s private secretary, tbat Mr. Hayes hud
written to the President concerning him, and
that the President directed him (Brown) to soy
that bo did not sou how ho could make any move
lu the matter at present. Thereupon Mr. Huy
non asked Mr. Drown what Mr. Hayes had said.
Drown replied In substance that Hayes had
written as follows: ■ ...
•• Ur. Hayden labors under the delusion that
bo rendered me a groat service by saving uiy
life. If this Is true, loan only say that I never
was apprised of U while In Washington.....
Mr. Hayden, lu view of the fact that bo had
apprised Mr. Hayes of It, and that Mr. llayoa
bad oast an imputation upon bis word oLhonur,
and bad put him lu the light of a falsifier to Gar
field, at coco oommuuloated with aomo promi
nent members of Congress lathis city,and at

BLAINE' SHOWS HIS HAND.

Foreign Volley*
Washington, D, C.,Jtily3Ji.—Enough has
leaked out of ofllclnl circles to showtlmt,
notwithstanding tho pressure constantly
inodonpon Secretary Blaine’s time hy Im
portunities for ofllcC} and tho Increased de
mands of tho Executive Department slncd tho
attempt on the life of tho President, ho Is pre
paring sorao very vigorous dispatches for tho
boaolUof outsiders on our future foreign policy.
When announced they will give European
powers, at least, a bettor idea of how wo pro
pose to dent with tho question affecting In
terests on this continent than they over pos
sessed before..
Of course, tho French project for a canal
across tho Isthmus of Panama will como in for
n largo share of consideration, so that, whatever
may bo the result of tho foreign conference on
this question, with a view of making this com
mercial highway neutral property, tho policy
laid down by Secretary Ulatno will give them a
more radical Interpretation of the Monroe doc
trine than they over bod before. .
Tho whole South American question will bo
consldetcd. not In an aggressive spirit, but
In favor of maintaining each separate nation
ality within tho limits of Us legitimate bound
ary. In other words, the now American policy
will pledge Itself to tho maintenance ot things
Just ns they are at present, and if any changes
nro likely to bo deemed necessary, this Govern
ment proposes to dictate their character. If
tboro Is any absorbing imho done, the united
titates promises to bo on hand, and what they
can’t manage themselves outsiders need'not
trouble themselves about. The lime has arrived
when u policy of this kind can no longer bo de
layed. It Is not only demanded by the plain
teachings of our “Manifest Destiny in n po
litical sense, but by tbo glowing necessities of
our commerce, which, If not soon wrested from
foreign control, will reduce ifs to what wp are
virtually at present—tho weakest maritime
power in tho world. Secretary Dlnlno realizes
this perhaps ns keenly and ns comprphons yely
ns any puhllo man in tho country, and It will bo
no fnultnf bis If It Is not remedied during bis
administration of our foreign affairs.

TERRIBLE HEAT IN ENGLAND.
Hot weather was a fortnight ago the thrilling
theme in England. Several English soldiers died
from sunstroke at a rovlovr, and there waa groat
agitation. Tho ways tbo British eolalora are
treated and oarod for aro sot forth In asummary
of toatlmony as follows:
' “ 000 of tho private soldiers deposed that the
regiment took wator-bottloa with them, but that
his own Husk was otupiy, for the very suttlolent
reason that ho bud no meads of Oiling It. No
orders were given to fill tho water-bottles before
starting, and.-If tnoro woru any water-carts
about, too witness did not see thorn. Another
private, who had served in India,mentioned that
in that country reviews wore bold between tbo
hours of fi and 8 o'clock in tha morning. At the
Hold-day on Monday bo had no moans of obtain
ing water save by buying It.”
Port, who also died on Monday, was bold In tbo
North Camp. A comrade of tho deceased de
posed that during the operations of the field
day Port fell out of tho ranks, declaring that bo
was completely * beaten.' When askedlf ho was
butter bo told nts comrades, who wore succoring
him, to foil In again, saying that ho would over-*
take them presently. The witness, who bad
served in India, sold that, Monday was the
hottest day ho bad been In, although bo did not
consider the Hold-day exceptionally heavy. 'Tbo
deceased Port was brought Into tho Work-House
about half-past 1 «m Monday afternoon. Ha
asked forsorao water, of which ho drank about
throe pluts. A kindly Corporal's wife
bathed tho poor fellow's bead, but be subse
quently became unconscious. Tho usual
remedies for sunstroke—lee and cold Infusions—
wore applied, but wltnout effect, and at about
half-past 4ln tbo afternoon ho died. Tho post
mortem examination showed him to have been
a very healthy man.. There was no fatty degen
eration of his heart, ana nothing the matter
with his liver. Tboro was congestion from the
otfoets of the sunstroke, but nothing else, a fact
which slightly militates against tho theory sot
un by tbo other surgeons, that only ‘ weakly
subjects are likely to bo seriously Injured by
excessive heat.” . ,
Those occurrences cause a curious discussion

India, and tbo following uxtraotfrom the Madras

temperature of tbo mouth of May waa almost

STATE STREET.
Indignation Meeting of Citizens
on That Thoroughfare.
Everybody to Blame and No One to
Shoulder It,
10 Street Uallwfty Company Regarded
ns the Chief Sltmor«
Somethin? like 100 State street property-own
on and residents, who ore Indignant because of
the continued blockade of that thoroughfare by
the work of. the street-railway company and
city contractors, mot. again Inst night at tho
Palmer House to further consider tho matter of
raising the blockade. Mr. Isaac Holder was se
lected to preside. Ho staled that It would bo
superfluous to announce the object of tho goth*
orlng,—everybody know what It was for. Ho
would, therefore, call for tho report of tho Com
mittee appointed at tho first mooting to Investi
gate as to tho cause of tho delay in tho work ou
State street. The report was rend by Mr. Boron
Matblson, and according to this report tho Com
mittee bad been told byHuporlnlondent Holmes,
of the Uailroad Company, that It was en
tirely tho fault of tno city contractors—
especially' tno sower contractor—that tho
work was so slow of progress, the railroad com
pany being as anxious ns tho property-owners
to raise the blockade. The Company would be
able to complete n block u day of tho oablu road
it the city contractors wore out of tho way, and
tho Compauy would consent to put down .wood
en curbing nt its own expense In the middle of
the street if tho city eouirrtotors wo«d Unlsh the
i sides. Tho Committee had called at the Mayor s
Oiilco, but his Honor " bad gone fishing, or
maybe to tho races." Tho Commlttoo had then
called on Commissioner Waller, who staled that
Patrick Scanlan was tho tardy contractor, but
tho Committee bad hunted In vain for Bcnnlan
and also for Mr. Armstrong, thotmvomout con
tractor. It was believed that Patrick Scaolan
was a fictitious personage, bis name not
being In tho directory, and no one
knowing anything about him «t „No. h*i
Drown street, given by Commissioner Waller as
Mr. Scnulan’s residence. Mr. Waller bad also
stated that tho olty was doing nil It could In tho
premises: that ho could not ask tho contractors
to do anything that
WOULD INVOLVK AN KXTHA KXPKN9K.
Charles H. allies, Superintendent of tho Her
die Company, hud appeared before tho Commit
tee and stated that bo was ready to put a line of
Hordlcs on State street and ‘‘sou that the
street was put in a passable condition," provid
ed tho citizens would pntronlzo tho vehicles.
And the report closed with comments ou tho
fact that the Fire Department wou Id experience
dangerous delay If called to any portion of the
blockaded thoroughfare. „
The report was accepted and the Committee
continued. .
Mr. John Colder, ono of tho Committee,
added something to the report by stating
that tho Committee bad that very morning
succeeded In obialuiug an audience with tho
■Mayor, and tho latter bad stated that bo was
powerless to atfurd relief, Inasmuch us tho fault
all rested with the gas company, which com
pany "owned the Council, body and soul." The
city contractors put the blame on the railroad
company, and tho railroad company put tho
blamo on the city contractors. Ho the Commit
tee had decided that one was as much to 'blamo
os the other, and that unless relief oama soon
a largo number of gentlemen doing business
along tho obstructed portion of State street
would bo forced luto bankruptcy, tratllo having
been driven oil the street to suen an extent that
trade was almost entirely suspended.
Mr. M. A. Driscoll suggested the advisability
of asking the Council to tlx somo dutlult time for
the completion of tho railway company's and
the city’s work. .. .
Another gentleman said that tho railroad
company hnu a charter for their work and could
not bo limited. . „ ,
Mr. Potter Palmer was present and was called
upon for an expression of opinion. Ho merely
suggested that the railroad company or tho, city
authorities bo requested to place one side of
Btato street In a condition for vehicle trallic.
Superintendent Holmes, of tho railroad com
pany, was also present, and bo, too, responded to
u call. He said that ovory stocxholder in the
company was as much Interested In
seeing the work progress rapidly ns
was any property-owner. The Company had
been forced to keep 150 men Idlofor two or throe
weeks because the sower contractor was cutting
across tho street whore tbocablu was being laid;
because the gas men were cutting Into them;
because tho water-pipes wero being thrust In
tbol- way; and because tho property-owners
who were putting up buildings along Btato street
refused to move their mortur-boxos, and so
forth In order that the gas men* might work
fester. So that the property-owners themselves
wore assisting , • . .

Mr. W. V. Hauer said that tho property-own

We assort that there is no unown remedy that

tho Injured parts to tholr sound condition. Tbs
wastes of tbo body nre stopped, and healthy
blood is supplied to tbo system, from which new
material Is formed. This Is the first oorrcctlTi
power of Radway’s Resolvent.
In oases whore tho system has been salivated,
and Mercury, Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate,
have accumulated and become deposited lo tbs
bones, Joints, etc., causing cartes of the boots,

gets better or worse—tbo virus of tho diseased
not inactive: if not arrested and driven from tbs

the constitution. As soon as the Sarsaparilla
makes the patient “feel better, *’ every hour
you will grow hotter and increase la health,
