Home It til«* Bill Defeated. London, June 3.—In the Commons this afternoon. Hick J^eacb.and the Conservatives presse«! Gladstone to fix the date for the «livision on the second reading of the home rule bill. Labouchere i Radical) protested against an early date, announcing that 27 supporters of the measure desired to speak before the vote. Charles Bradlaugh i Radi cal) supported Laliouchere's protest. Gladstone fixed Monday as the date for the division. London, June 3.— Une hundred non conlonnust ministers of Derby and Notting ham have signed the address of confidence in Gladstone's Irish policy. Rev. Spurgeon, one of the signers, has written a second letter, in which be asks if it is impossible lor those desirous of the welfare of Ireland and the unity of the empire to devise a more acceptable scheme. "I cannot,''says Spurgeon, "look forward with complacency tijH*n the possibility of the Ulsterites being abanooned and of the established Catholic church, yet they are by no means the great est evils we forsee in the near tuture should the suggested policy become a fact.'' Glasgow, June 4.—The Highland Re form League, at a meeting last night, adopted resolutions favoring home rule for Scotland and the establishment of a separate Sootish legislature. London, .Tune 3.—The debate on the home rule bill was resumed by Mr. O'Con nor. He said bethought that he was justi fied in saying that the argument of sepa ration had vanished from the minds of al' reasonable politicians. [Cries of dissent.] He contended there was no country in the world w here history taught so elotjuent a lesson against the establishment and en dowments of religions as Ireland. He called attention to Mr. Bright's advice in his letter to the recent Chamberlain meet ing and held that the members who voted against the bill would incur a serious re sponsibility and w ould run the risk of not being returned. Charles Rradlaugh supported the bill. He said that the objectors to the details of the measure, if they voted for a second reading, would have full opportunity to discuss the details in committee. The choice lay between Gladstone and coercion. London, June 6.—The politicians have been active throughout the day. The re sult of to-day's meetings of all the political rendezvous shows that there is little hope that the home rule bill will pass, although many Ministerialists claim that Gla«lstone's reply to the Commoner Moulton's, letter has secured more waverers. On the other hand, Mr. Labouchere, who has been con ducting the negotiations with the malcon tents, has thrown up the sponge. He says he could bring over sufficient waverers if Mr, Gladstone would give way only a very little, but the Premier refuses to yield an inch. Eight Liberals still hesitate. If they vote with the opposition the bill will be lost. It is regarded as possible that a divis ion may result in a tie, in which event Speaker Peel will give the deciding vote. All attempts to elicit the Speaker's opinion have failed. In an interview last night Mr. Chamber lain said that the defeat of the home rule bill was certain, for he knew his followers were reliable. He had never reckoned on «Mr. Pease as a follower. There were 20 or 30 others who were doubtful and who were not included in his list. He expected a majority of thirty against the bill. He was so convinced that parliament would be dissolved inside of a month that he was preparing for an election contest. London, JuDe 7.— The (government was defeated by a majority of thirty on the second reading of the home rule bill. The excitement during the division had no parallel in the history of the House of Commons. Lord Randolph Churchill first discovered that the government was de feated, and by waving his hat and indulg ing in joyful demonstrations aroused the enthusiasm of the members of the oppo sition, who arase, waved their hats and cheered again and again, and when the figures were announced the noise was deafening. A Parnellite challenged the vote. Con nor called for cheers for the "grand old man," which were given with gusto by the government supporters. 8ir William Harcourt and bis com panions rose and tnwed to Gladstone, who was somewhat embarrassed. The l'arnellites called for groans for Chamberlain, which were given with shouts of "traitor !" and "Judas Iscariot!" Chamberlain merely laughed. When order was restored Gladstone rose, white and trembling, and moved to adjourn until Thursday. Healy and Connor again challenged the vote, saying they would not öfter any op position, but wished to express their repug nance at the conduct of many members of the Gladstone party. During the hubbub Gladstone, wearing a haggard look, lett the House, cheered by his supporters. London, June 8 —The Standard says that the Commons by, «lefeating the home rule bill, has saved itself from (degradation and the empire from disruption. It has also read a lesson to Ireland which alter the first irritation has subsided will, we trust, be duly appreciated by the quick witted inhabitants of that island. Glad stone. Parnell and Morely may rest satis fied that what the present House has re- j fused to do no House returned by an appeal to the constituencies to decide be tween unity and separation will ever be imlui-ed to sanction the Loyalists of Ireland to hope that their kinsmen here will never abamion them to the uncovenanted mercies oi the Irish National League and its paymasters in America. Gladstone exerted all his mar vellous powers of intimidation, mystifica tion anil persuasion in favor of his bill, but we rejoice that the majority against it was decisive and crushing. This speaks well for the inilepcndence and courage ot Com mons. The Telegraph (Conservative^ says: '\Ye are persua«ie«l that the voit*e ot theCommons faithfully reflects the opinion of the coun try. The debate sustained the historic reputation ot the British Parliament for lofty oratory which reached the climax on the closing uight. The unity ol the King dom has l>een preserved by the first great declaration (of British democracy coming into power." London, June 8.— The majority against the bill surpriseil even the l nionists. Several members supposed to favor the bill went into the opposition lobby. The crowd outsiile atteuipteil to mob Hartington when he emergeil from the House, alter the di vision. It is supposed that Sir William Blunt was intermediary between Parnell The Times says:' This will encourage _____ __ and the Tories during the last election and that he undoubtedly did lead the Parnell ites to believe that the Conservatives would introiluce the home rule bill. Churchill is generally believed to be the member of the*' Conservative party who made the promise for his party. Eighty-live Par uelites voted with the government. The eighty-sixth, Captain O'Shea, whom Par nell insisted on having the League elect to represent one division of Galway, walked out of the House and abstained from vot ing. About twelve Liberals refused to vote on the division. London, June 8.—The cabinet will meet at 2 o'clock this afternoon to consider what action is in« - umbent upon the government as a result of their defeat last night. Gladstone rose this morning earlier than usual. During the forenoon he had a two hours' conference with Roseberry, the For eign Minister. London, June 8.— Tbs consensus of opinion is that Gladstone will dissolve Parliament on the 28th inst. It is expect ed that the elections will occupy about a month, and that the new House will as semble in the second week in August. The result of the division was telegraphed to the (jueen as soon as it was known. John Bright voted with the opposition, and his example was followed by twenty Liberals. New York. June 8. —Last night's pro ceedings in the House of Commons was the culminating point in one of the most remarkable and memorable epochs in the history of Great Rritain. That the As sociated Press was fully alive to the im portance of the occasion and had resources entirely ade<juate to cope with it is evi denced by the results achieved. Bulletins announcing the defeat of the Gladstone government and the vote by which the second reading of the home rule bill was defeated were sent to its constituents within a few minutes after the facts be came known in the House, anti these were followed by cable dispatches and sent to all points over its leased lantl wires, giving practically verbatim reports of the great arguments of Gladstone ami Parnell, ex tended summaries of other speeches, and graphic descriptions of the exciting scenes in and about the House. The noteworthi ness of this achievement is increased by the fact that the report covered the night session lasting till between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning and that it was wired to the papers of the Associated Press in time for publication the same morning. Dublin, June 8. —The Freeman's Journal, Mr. Parnells organ, says: The principle of home rule is for the moment defeated, but it is not killed. The bill has been lost, but the principle of home rule tri umphs. The 311 affirmative votes cast iast night for Mr. Gladston's measure vir tually commits Parliament to home rule. Who should say the matter rests there? The Ej press , Conservative, says: It is yet too soon to triumph. The constitu tion, it is true, has won the first pitched battle, but the campaign has only begun. Cork, June 8. —The Herald says: Let the friends of Ireland be dignified, patient, forbearant. English democracy will rally and scatter the false Liberals when Eng land finally rejects the settlement. It will lie time enough for Irishmen to nerve themselves for the struggle anew. The Cork Constitution (Tory) says: The calamity to Ireland and crowning disgrace to England has been averted in the defeat of Mr. Gladstone's seditious plot against the <^ueen, and Mr. Gladstone has been digraced and dishonored. A very bitter feeling is entertained here by the Nation alists against Mr. Chamlierlain on account of his opposition to home rule. The Globe, (Conservative) says: -The division last night averted the danger of the substitution of one man power for that Parliamentary government. The most j imperious, powerful and despotic minister ! ^ as been told that the House of Commons will remain independent. This is the heaviest fall Gladstone has ever received. His arrogance has oflended the most in fluential of his colleagues, and he is now surrounded by puppets, and be is mainly dependent on the Parnellites. He will doubtless attempt to regain his position. He is imbued with the belief that the British classes oppose him, and that the British masses support him. An election will dispel his illusion. His public career is practically ended. It is to be wished that it had ended in a more patriotic way than in an attempt to destroy the union for the sake of party gain and the gratification of personal ambition. London, June 8. —Chamberlain has de cided to hold a meeting of his followers to decide whether they shall act with the Hartington committee or as an indepen dent political party. At present Chamber lain favors the latter course. He expresses himself as confident of being able to retain ! his seat for West Birmingham. It is , thought that Gladstone will not make the 1 final statement before the dissolution until Monday next. Most of the Liberal feder- : ation has prepared a manifesto to the elec tors of Great Britain. It adopts home rule as the Liberal party platform in the com ing election. The Radical dissenters will j organize a Radical union with beadquar ters at Birmigham The union's pro gramme will include a large extension of self government in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, coupled with the su preme control of all by the Imperial Par liament. Mr. Chamberlain will be made president, Jos. W. Cullings secretary, aDd several members of the House of Commons vice presidents. London, June 8.— An eye witness de scribes Parnell upon the floor of the House of Commons last night as follows : He was unusually pale, and commenced his ; speech nervously. He afterwards followed the lines of his manuscript, which had been submitted to and approved by Mr. Sexton. His speech forthwith assumed a higher level and the orator became very impressive. Every sentence was formed with the greatest occurai y to express cer tain shades of meaning. Mr. Parnell's face flushed with affection and pride when he exclaimed : "We cannot surrender a single Irishman." The concluding appeal lor peace and prosperity for suffering Ireland was delivered in a chord of tender and genuine kindnesss, different from his usually cold and dispassionate tone. London, June 8.—A meeting of forty peers and metnbers of the House of Com mons was held to-day, Lord Roseberry pre siding. A committee was appointed to propogate the Irish home rule doctrine in ^tch adopted for the establishment of home rule literature and speakers' funds. London, June 9.—The (Queen's private secretary had an interview with Gladstone to-day. Immediately afterwards the Pre mier convened the Cabinet Council, which remained in session two hours. All parties are preparing for a general election with feverish haste and anxiety. The Liberal whips to-day declare that Gladstone's «can didates will be beaten in every constituen cy in Great Britain anil Ireland within two days. Schnadboisek, chief of the National Liberal federation, has been con ferring with Glastone to-day. Appropriation Bills. Washington, June 8. —The House to day went into committee of the whole on the legislative, executive and judicial ap propriation bill. Mr. Holman wished to call attention to the startling rapidity with which the expenditures of the government were being increased. Passing on to a consideration of the clause making an ap propriation for the civil service commis sion he stated that the amount appro priated was the same as that given for the present fiscal year ($21,400), but there was j a proviso added requiring the certification 0 f the entire list of applicants from each State who had passed an examination, This reijuirement, he argued, was not a chauge in the existing law, but was simply a limitation on the expenditure of money. After debate the committee rose. State Reception t»v the President. Washington, June 9.—A State recep tion will be given by 1'resident and Mrs. Cleveland Tuesday evening next, to which 1 the Cabinet. Diplomatic Corps, Judiciary, Congress, offices of the army and navy, the heads of certain bureaus and ladies and their families will be invited. The recep- ; tion will lie from nine until eleven o'clock. ! The general reception to which the public is invited without cards, will be given the following Friday evening from 9 to 11. Mrs. Cleveland will not be at home to callers until after the receptions.. The Chinese Indemnity Bill Passed. Washington, June 3.—On motion of Edmunds, the bill indemnifying the Chi nese for losses sustained in the Rock Springs, Wyoming, riot was taken up. and Mr. Mitchell addressed the Senate on it, arguing at length against any legal or moral obligation to pay the money pro vided for in this bill. In the course of his remarks he characterized the bill as an in sult to American citizenship. Mr. Evarts addressed the Senate on it. He characterized the acts complained of as disgraceful to any community in which they occurred, and disgraceful to any gov ernment that would not punish the guilty parties and repair the damage done. This he repeated and would not «qualify. The persons perpetrating the act, he si.id. were subject to our laws and were responsible for their conduct. The question was not complicated by any question of «State laws interfering with the jurisdiction of the United States laws. "Our people." he said, "must rescue itself from this foul blot on our civilization.'' The matter then went over until to morrow. Washington, June 4. —The Chinese in demnity bill was placed before the Senate«! Mr Hnokr.ll «Bp Hnnr H* »ror„*,l i ! ; ; ! , 1 : j and Mr. Cockrell took the floor. He argued straggly against the bill. He read at some length from the official correspondence on the subject to show that all the persons engage«! in the violence complained of were foreigners. This correspondence went also to show that these toreigners. as well as the Chinese persons complaining, had been brought there under asystein of contracts for supplying cheap labor to sup plement American laborers. The Chinese had been brought there as serfs with the knowledge of the Chinese government. The Chinese had been brought there to supplant white labor because the Chinese were more like slaves. Distinguished representatives of theChinese government, Mr. Cockrell said, had undertaken to sup press apparently, or to ignore the actual origin of the disturbance, and so had the Senators from New York, Ohio and ; Vermont. He read from the correspondence I to show this and also to show that none of the parties went to live or work at the place where the violence occurred under any protection of the United States. They went there relying for protection on their "masters"'—the company that hired them both. He denied that we are re quired to extenil to the Chinese or any other foreigners any greater right of re dress for wrongs than is given to citizens of the United States. Mr. Cockerell anim adverted with severity upon the position taken by Evarts, Edmunds and Sherman. He contrasted the freedom enjoyed by the Chinese in the United States, even to the extent of building their josh houses with the limitations attending the movements of citizens of the United States in China. The basis on which the Secretary of State and the Präsident have recommended the claims covered by this bill was solely that of pity for the Chinamen and not be cause there was the slightest legal or other obligation existing in the premises. At the conclusion of Mr. Cockrell's speech the bill was brought to a vote and passed—yeas 30; nays 10. The Senators voting in the negative were Beck, Berry, Cockrell, Coke, Eustis, George Harris, Maxey, Rlitchell, of Oregon, and R est. The bill authorizes the President to as certain the actual losses sustained by the Chinamen by the riot at Rock Springs, Wyoming, in September, 1885, and to pay such losses. The amount appropriated by the bill for that purpose is $150,0t)0. English Opinion ot Blaine's Speech. London, June 3.—The Times, comment ing on Blaine's Portland speech, says : Blaine may or not catch the Irish vote by performances such as that of Tuesday's j speech and so win the prize which fully as much on personal as political grounds, has been snatched from him once and again, but we refuse to believe that ignorant and ] presumptuous rant represents the honest and independent opinion and reflection of Americans. It is peculiarly absurd that he should pose as an advo«^te of the plan which he supposes quite wrongly of course, would place Ireland in the position of a State of the American union" He has been conspicuous, for the same reasons which now make him flatter the Irish, in the bloody shirt campaign against the .South ern States. Should they now attempt to deprive the negroes of suffrage, he would be the first to favor the settlement of that local affair by armeil interference of the central government. His history is almost on a par with his reasoning, which deserves to be classed with Sir Wm. Vernon Har court's latest contribution, whereupon Lecky has something to say. What Leeky has to say is contined in another column of the Times in the form of a letter. This is the criticism of Sir William's argument that the home rule measure prefaced by Gladstone is aimed at the simple revival of Grattan's Irish Parliament. Lecky says I the argument is absurd. Grattan's Parlia- ' ment. Lecky contends, places the govern- I ment of Ireland in the hands of Protest- i ant Generals, who were bound to the English j connection by the closest ties of interest and sentiment. They were, adds Lecky, pre-eminently representatives of property, j of whose political power, it has been Glad stone's steady object to destroy the effect, and his scheme would be to throw the government of Ireland into the hands of men hitherto the avowed enemies of both property and empire. Denied. Augusta, Me., June 3. —The Kennebec Journal this morning published a letter from Blaine denying that in his recent speech in Portland he had applied the words "impudent," insol ent" and ' brutal" to Salisbury. Blaine writes, I was referr ing to his Lordship's declaration that the Irish might, remain as they now are or emigrate, and I said, iutorrogativel.v : "Is not this an impudent proDosition ? Is it not insolent in its terms ? Does it indeed stop short of being brutal in its cruelty ?" It is not parliamentary to say that state ment is not true, but altogether parlia mentary to say that its author is guilty of falsehood. The first describes the thing, the secord assails the person. My charac terization was aimed at the proposition and not at Lord Salisbury personally. Staten Island Bridge. Washington, June 7. —Mr. Erastus Wiman said to-night that the result of the passage by the House of the Staten Island bridge bill will be to lessen the terminal charges in New York harbor 25 percent, on all western and southern produce. That bridge which the bill authorizes will be commenced within 60 days, rendering available ten miles of water front in New Y ork harbor now inaccessible by railway, and that the resolution impends in regard to the shipment and storage of grain, flour, cotton and provisions of a very significant character lor the west and south. • Welcome Rain. Galveston, June4.—Specials have been received from the interior showing that good rains had fallen last evening in eight een counties. It has rained all along the Pecos Valley and a few good showers are reported west of San Antonio. The rain fall covers an area of about four hundred quare miles. oleomargarine billbeTween Senator Miller, ^ Qf tfae ( . otum j tte e on agritul Business Before Congress. Washington, June 6.— In the House of Representatives the week will open, after the usual influx of bills to-morrow, with action upon the motion to suspend the rules and pass the various bills making ap propriations for j the erection of public buildings. It was intended to call up the legisla tive, executive and judicial appropriation bill Tuesday morning, but it is now prob able that its conductors will voluntarily allow a vote to be taken on the Pacific railroad extension bill, which comes over as unfinished business from last week. It is probable that the House will be fully occupied with the legislative bill during the remainder of the week, but if any time should remain after its passage Mr. Herbert will ask the House to consider the naval appropriation bill. The measures which are thought to lie probable subjects for discussion in the tjenate during the coming week cannot be definitely stated, but the order of their coming up is not yet f ully settled - There is likely to be a contest over the House ture, to which the Senate bills and peti tions on this subject have been referred, ami Senator Morrill, chairman of the com mittee on finance, which committee claims jurisdiction of the House bill on the ground that it is a revenue measure. The report of the Senate conferees of the failure to agree with those of the House in respect to the Senate amendments to the postoffice appropriation bill is exp«îcted to give rise to an interesting debate, the controversy being chiefly upon the so called subsidy features The consular and diplomatic appropriation bill, which is un finished business of the Senate, will be dis posed of and the appropriations committee expect to report and bring up for action during the week the agriculture and army appropriation bills. The Northern Pacific forfeiture bill and a bill repealing the pre-emption and tim ber culture laws are special orders for the dates already past, and by virtue of this fact are entitled to consideration before any other measures except the appropriation bills on the calendar. Should there be any time not consumed in the dicussion of the measures above named, it is expected that the House bill to forfeit certain lands granted to the States of Mississippi, Alabama and Louisi ana, to aid in the construction of railroads, and Senator Hoar's bill, to provide for in quests under national authority, will lie called up. Hoar has also given notice of his purpose to call up before the end of the week a resolution, providing for a consti tutional amendment to change the time for the expiration of the Presidential term. Serious Kiot. Belfast, June 6. —The funeral of Cur ran, the young man who lost his life by drowning during the recent Orange-Catho lic riot, took place to-day. The body was followed to the cemetery by a procession of 20,000 Catholics. A body of Orange men threw stones^at the procession and the Catholics, in retaliation, made an as sault on the Orangemen and drove them away. A number of shots was fired. One man was stabbed, andjseveral persons were cnt about the head. Finally the police succeeded in restoring order. The Catho lics smashed the windows of the Broad way linen factory. There was some fur ther disturbance later in the evening. Phillip Rice, a driller, and John Beattie and Alexander Stuart, titters, have been arrested on the charge of rioting on Friday and' murdering young Curran. James McMurray, a Catholic, has been arrested on the charge of tiring a revolver from the funeral procession to-day. Belfast, June 4.—The Orange work men employed at the (Queen's Island ship yards to-day attacked the navvies em ployed by the harbor commissioners, and after overpowering and beating them badly drove them into the water. It was with the greatest difficulty that the injured, ex hausted and struggling navvies were res cued. The Orangemen made the assault liecause the navvies, it is alleged, hail pre viously attacked some loyalists for aspers ing the home rule movement. Intense ex citement prevails among local Catholics in consequence of the attack. The Orange men numbered 2,000 and the navvies 100. The policemen, fully armed, are - patroling the city, and the military are held in read iness in the barracks. Thirty Catholics were injured and twelve were taken to hospitals. The body of James Curran, one of the navvies, who was missing for a time, has been recovered. He was the sole support of his widowed mother. Belfast, June 8. —Rioting was renewed here this evening. A mob of Orangemen wrecked a number of houses of Catholics, severely injuring some of them. The riot act was read,'and the police fired upon the mob, which replied with revolvers. Many were injured on both shies, but the police finally triumphed. Dublin, June 8.—The rioting continues in the Orange districts of Monaghan. At Lurgan several militiamen have been wounded, some of the houses wrecked and several persons shot, some being danger ously wounded. One Thomas Gallagher was shot dead. Troops have been ordered from Armagh to clear the streets. Almost all the constables were injured by stones or brick. Belfast, June 9. —The Orangemen were again rioting here to-day, They have wrecked one hundred houses in the city, two of which they burned. The rioters have broken into several whisky stores and possessed themselves of their contents, and numbers of them are lying about in the gutters drunk. Others made desperate or mandlin by drink are prowling about the streets, crying out, "to hell with the Pope." Several assaults were made by the police upon the rioters, and twenty-five of the latter have already been severely wounded by buck shot fired at them. The police have been ordered to fire ball to-night in the event of any general renewal of the rioting. Express Robbery. Van Wert, Ohio, June 4. —The Nation al bank received yesterday by the United States Express from the Union National bank of this city, a package purporting to contain [$10,000, but when opened, was found to be tilled with cotton, pasteboard and railroail advertising bills. The pack age should have reached Van Wert Wednesday. The money clerk who re ceived it here, says he sealed it with green wax. The waybill for the run of Tuesday night hail the package marked "short." When received the package was sealed with re«l wax. The delay of twenty-four hours in transit is not yet explained, but will doubtless give a clue to the robber. Verdict for Mrs. Garfield. •Ci.EVEl.ANp, June 8. —The case of Thankful Tauner against Mrs. James A. Garfield to recover $25,000 for slight in juries sustained in a collision with Mrs. Garfield's carriage, was submitted to the jury to-day.

Deer Park, June 8. —Early this morn ing John W. Davis, who ha« had charge of the Presidential party, was notified that the President desired to make a trip to Washington and that he would like to have his special follow closely after the midday train. An engine was at once ordered from Grafton and the palace tars "Baltimore" and "Delaware" were put in readiness for the reception of the party. YVhat caused the sudden alteratiou of their plan is not known, as it was thought last night the bride and groom would remaiu in the mountains a day or iwo longer. Washington. June 8. —The special train bearing the President and Mrs. Cleveland and Col. and Mrs. Lamont ar rived at the Baltimore «& Ohio station at 7:20 o'clock this evening. There was no particular demonstration on the part of the few jieople present except that they crowded as close as the police would permit in order to get a good look at the President's bride. Several gentlemen took off their hats to the President and he acknowledged the compliments by raising his own. .Some one started to cheer but the President had entered his carriage and was driven away before it was generally taken up by the crowd. The carriage was driven directly to the White House, where there were per haps 100 people, mostly ladies and news paper men on the portico awaiting the re turn of the bridal party. The carriage drove up to the main entrance anil the in mates speedily alighted and entered the house. Mrs. Cleveland sprang out lightly and was on the portico before the others had left their seats in the carriage. After divesting themselves of their wraps and removing the stains of travel, the party sat down to supper. Oregon State Electiou. Portland, June 7.—The State election to-day was very quiet. There was an im mense amount of scratching. There were no returns up to midnight except from a few small precincts, and there is nothing yet on which to base an estimate. The probabilities are that Binger Hermann is re-elected to Congress, and the Demo crats are inclined to concede this. Both parties claim the Governorship. No defi nite returns will be in before to-morrow night, as the ticket was very long and not one in twenty straight. Portland, Ore., June 8 —The incomplete returns from all parts of the State show a heavy Democratic gain. On the present figures Hermann, Republican candidate for Congress has less than 300 plurality and it is possible that this margin will be wiped out by the returns from the back counties, out of reach of the telegraph. Pennoyer, (Dem.) for governor, will have at least 1J0O over Cornelius, (Rep.) and pos sibly 2^X1 It is very close on Secretary of State. Webb, ( Dem.) for State treasur er, is probably elected by 300, and Straban (Dem.) for Supreme Judge, about the same. The legislature will probably be Demo cratic. Confirmations. YY ASHiNGTON, June 2.—John B. Scott, Indian agent for the Shoshones in Nevada, and F. E. Armstrong, Indian proctor. International Typographical Union.
