Nuriirlae ortlie SeerHary of Slate-tVbal II. nod Otiiers Say. Washington, August 28.—Much inter- aist wus manifested here to-day in an ac count that has been received by telegraph from Mexico of the alleged performances ot Special Envoy Sedgwick. The story goes that at a dinner of tho Jockey Club of the Mexican capital, Mr. Sedgwick, who was a guest, got very drunk and was taken possession of by some twenty of Mexico’s glided youths, who led him about in tri umph and filially landed him in a house of ill-repute. Secretary of State Bayard was seen to night and asked if lie knew anything of the report. ‘-It is all new to me," he said “and I cannot believe it until I have the most positive proof. 1 will lint sav it is not true, but I must be convinced that it is. I have known Mr. Sedgwick for a I number of years, und never knew other thiin that he had a most J splendid private character. He was I selected because of his peculiar fitness for the duties of the position. He is a thor- I ough Spanish scholar and has had a great I deal to do with legal matters in the Span- i ish Americas. I am told that lie stands I well at the New York bar, and, to my knowledge, he was a most thorough gen tleman. That he should bo guilty of such a thing,” continued the secretary vvitli much emphasis, “is beyond my comoro- hension. He is a married man with a highly cultivated family, and that he should commit the unpardonable act with which he is charged is something difficult to believe. It is to be hoped that it is not true, but if it is true Mr. Sedgwick will be recalled at once.” Mr. Bayard thinks that if the story were true Minister Jack- son would certainly have informed the state department at once. Assistant Secretary of State Porter was much astonished and distressed by the in formation. He declared that he had heard nothing about the matter except what lie had gathered from the newspaper story. “The state department,” lie continued, “would not get any information except by mail, and that would be some time later. I am sorry to hear this and hope it may not be true. It is very strange that some men will behave well enough at home, but when they get away take advantage of the opportunity to make fools of them selves.” “What will be done about it if it is true?” was asked. “I don’t see that anything can be done,” was tlie reply. “Mr. Sedgwick is not an official of the government at all. He is simply a private citizen who makes ob servations and a report. It is unfortunate for him that he could not behave properly. But I do not see that there is anything to do about it only to stand it.” Inquiry at the hotel where Mr. 3edgwiek has always stayed while here, and where he lived for some months during the ses sion of the forty-eighth congress, when he was here in the interest of the Interna tional Copyright League, developed the fact that the special envoy was in the habit of gazing upon wine when in all stages of color. His wine bill would run up into the hundreds of dollars almost every week. He was especially fond of the class of women who predominate in a cer tain part of the city known as Hooker’s Division, and on more than one occasion he has been known to paint parts of the city a beautiful Swiss sunset color and to carry oil much in the same style as he is said to have carried on in Mexico’s capital. He was given to hack riding, and on two or three occasions he made all night trips to the cabin of John Bridge, a somewhat famous suburban resort. There are few persons here who ever knew him. His associates on his numer ous escapades were generally young con gressmen and lobbyists like himself. All of those who have said anything upon the subject are pronounced in their opinion of Sedgwick and look upon the matter as a national disgrace. They express great sur prise that the secretary of state should have selected a man with Sedgwick’s al leged habits. Mr. Bayard is severely cen sured for having selected a person for so delicate and important a mission without knowing more of him. MEXICO MUST ARREST MONDRAGON. 'flovei'iior lrelHiul’s Report on Hrxlnm Outrmrrs. Another Moxinm (lulntur. Washington, August 29.—A Texas gen tleman, who is said to be in Washington under instructions from Governor Ireland, •of that state, is represented as saying that the governor has about got his report on the Kasures ease in shape to present to Secretary Bayard. When he was asked what the United States government was expected to do if the proof of an unlawful kidnaping and murder is conclusive, he replied: “This is what the state of Texas wul demand: First, that Francisco Mon dragon be arrested by the Mexican local authorities, tried for his crime and pun ished. Second that the Mexican re public pay a sum not less than $100,000 in damages to the widow of Rasures ana make the proper apology to the United States for the affair. This is what Texas will ask from Mexico, and the demand will be made in earnest and be backed by the entire state delega tion in eongreas. Ii any public man were to hang back upon this question, or show any timidity, his political death would be certain and speedy. If the United States does not comply with this reasonable re quest of Gov. Ireland, the state will take the matter in hand herself.” The gentleman neglected to say just what Texas would do, but proceeded to relate the details of another Mexican out rage, which appears to have escaped gen eral publicity. ,. , “Caleb George,” he said, “is a citizen of Texas and well known personally to the governor as an industrious, hard-working man, who has been a sailor ail his life. He has prospered and is now the owner of three saiUng vessels that are in the coast ing trade. Two years ago he was in com mand of his ship, the Adriana, lying in the harbor of La Paz, Mexico. A party of armed men came on board and, pre tending that lie had violated some cus toms’ requirement, seized his vessel, plundered her, tore down the American flag which he had fiymg, refused to let him send any message fo the United States consul at La Paz (who is a Mr. Viosca, I believe, a Mexicali himself), but imprisoned both George and his crew. They kept the crew in jail three months. When they were re leased Captain George was sentenced to five years'imprisonment, and served six teen months of it, when he was set free, by whose order he does not know. His snip, cargo and quite a sum of money were taken, and that is the last he has seen of them. He says he did try to get something done by the state department under Mr. Frelinghuyseu, but as lie wrote from sail Francisco and had no one to help him, ne could never get action.” “And you say,” the gentleman was asked, “that George does not know what his offense was ?” „ ... “He has not the slightest idea, was the prompt reply. “The Mexican Soveraor disavowed the act, and states that it was committed by persons not under the gov ernment, but that is all he could get out ot “If Ireland comes to the Um tod States senate,” proceeded the Texan, emphatic A aitm.mm lire. South Royalton. Vt., August .'if.- ! Nearly the entire business portion of tills i village and a number of dwellings wore destroyed last night by the most destruc- I tivo fire that has ever visited this vicinity. At one time it seemed ns if the whole vii- j lage was doomed, but after a fierce battle with the flames, in which the villagers re ceived substantial aid from the neirhbor- : ing towns, the fire was got under control i shortly after 2 a. ni., but not until four teen stores and nine residences were ! burned. The loss is estimated at $160,000, with insurance less than one-fourth that amount. FACTS FROM FOREIGN SHORES. It'suit of flic Sculling Race—Affairs In England and Ireland—The llnlmirian Muddle. Tiunova, August 31.—Prince Alexan der's journey here from Sistova was a se ries of ovations. People, headed by priests, flocked to different points on the route of ! the procession and they greeted the prince j with joyous shouts of welcome. A large crowd.left Tlrnova to meet the prince at a point five miles distant and escorted him into the town amid the greatest enthusi asm. An address of welcome was present- 1 ed on behalf of the populace, and in reply Prince Alexander congratulated Tirnova upon having commenced a counter revo- lution in his favor. It is now said Prince ' Alexander will probably proceed to Pliil- lippopolis to-day. RUSSIA’S DELICATE POSITION. Beiiun, August 31.— 1 The correspondent , of the Tagblatt at Franzensbad had an in- i terview with M. DcGiers, in which the 1 Russian foreign minister said he would , return to St. Petersburg on September 3. j He would go via Berlin and have another j conference with Prince Bismarck. Noth- ] ing final had been decided with regard to : Bulgaria in his recent interview vvitli the ! German chancellor. It was liqt known j then that Prince Alexander would return , to Sofia. M. DeGiers said he did not ' know what the czar’s present intentions were, but he was sure Russia would not occupy Bulgaria while that country was tranquil. Russia's position would be very delicate and critical should Prince Alexander insist upon the execution of the men who lead the conspiracy against him. M. DcGiers spoke in condemnation | of Prince Alexander’s course, and alluding to England’s action in the premises, he snicl she used everything that came within her reach as an instrument against Russia. THE CONSPIRATORS AGAINST ALEXANDER TO BE EXPELLED. Bucharest, August 31.—The three lead ers of the conspiracy against Prince Alex ander, including the treasurer of the revo- j lutionary fund,' have taken refuge in this , city. The government decided to expel [ them and notified the refugees that they I must leave. The conspirators then ap pealed to the Russian legation for protec- j tion. Telegrams were passing between : the legation and St. Petersburg during the : whole of last night. Prince Alexander will arrive at Phillip- popolis to-morrow. RUSSIAN JOURNALS IRATE. London, August 31.—Dispatches from St. Petersburg stute that the leading Rus- j sian papers affect to have great fears con- \ cerning the fate of Bulgaria, “where,” to quote the language of one ot them, “there I are two governments and two armies menacing each other with civil war.” ! “Speedy pacification of Bulgaria,” declares j another of these papers, “concerns other S owers besides Russia.” The Novovremia 1 eclares that Prince Alexander j must be prevented from returning i to Sofia, and says that all 1 Russians would enthusiastically support , i any steps which Russia might take to pre- ! vent him. I ALEXANDER ENCOURAGED BY ENGLAND, j Paris, August 31.—A despatch to the ! Journal Des Bats from Berlin says Prince Daluoronki will not go to Bulgaria. Rus- ; sian officers who were in the Bulgarian 1 j army prior to the coup d’etat will not re- I 1 enter Prince Alexander’s service. The j dispatch also says that Prince Alexander is I not at all sanguine of restoring order, and would abdicate only that he is encouraged by England to persevere. KiikIhiiiI. THE SCULLING RACE. i London, August 31.—The last of the pre liminary races in the international sculling j 1 sweepstakes were rowed to-day. Tiiere | were two heats, the first between William , Beach, of Australia, and George Bubear, I of Englond, and the osher between John Teenier, ofthe United States, and Matter- j son, ot Australia. Beach and Teemer were the winners. The weather was brilliant, i but the water was somewhat lumpy. Beach ! led Bubear through the heat, and won as he pleased by a clear six lengths. A foul | occurred during the race which both men i claimed. The betting was six to one on Beach. His time was 18 minutes and 38 i seconds. Teemer was almost as big a | favorite for the second heat as Beach was | for the first—five to one being offered on him. . The men got off together and remained on a level during the first 200 yards. Mat te rson then began to forge ahead and soon led by a length, when he crossed over and took Teemer’s water. Teemer closed up and touched Matterson’s boat, thus win ning the race on a foul. Teemer after ward got clear of Matterson. who stopped dead beat at Barnes’ bridge. Teemer continued to the line, finishing alone. The people on board a steamer follow ing the- race were so absorbed in watching the foul that afterw ards, when Matterson collapsed, they collided in en- deavorinc to avoid running down the Australian. The press launch was crushed in between the others and half-filled with water. The reporters scrambled into the I other boats, leaving their notes behind. ; Two of the press men swam to the shore, i No one was drowned, though i there was great confusion for j a time. Matterson ascribed ! his collapse to the terrific exertions he put forth yesterday in the race vvitli Wallace Ross. Beach declares that he is wonder- ! fully well, and confident of beating Teemer J in the final race to-morrow. Betting on I the result of the final heat to-morrow, be- ; tween Beach and Teemer, is seven to four I Oil Beach. The race will take place at 3:30 in the afternoon. j WILL MAKE A VIGOROUS EIGHT. I At the meeting to-day of forty advanced Gladstonian members of parliament, Al fred iflingsworth presiding, it was unan- 1 iinously resolved to favor a forward and iiggressi|.'e policy. It was also decided to notify Sir William Vernon Harcourt and i John Morley that the meeting desired that the home rule struggle commenced at the ' recent election should be strenuously main tained. RESULT OF THE BELFAST RIOTS. London, August 31.—In the house of 'commons this afternoon Sir Michael flicks ! Beach, chief secretary for Ireland, stated that cluring the riots in Belfast one heart j constable had been killed, five of the mili- 1 tary and six members of the constabulary haiJ been seriously wounded, and that alto gether 322 persons had been more or less injured in the various encounters with the rioters. Irelaml. A NOTICE SERVED ON UULLER. Dtblin, August 31.—'The Killarney branch of the National League has notified General Sir Redvers Buller of its readiness to give him every possible assistance if the sole object of his mission in Kerry is to suppress crime and outrage. If, however, his mission is to serve the landlords, col lect rents and assist at evictions, he must depond on his own resources. A PLUCKY PROHIBITIONIST. lie Kills Two Saloon I'ollflclsns Who Attni'k Him With I'lstols. Jackson, Miss., August 31.—The prohibi tion campaign in Mississippi lias been one ofthe hottest formally years, and blood shed has resulted in several instances. Each side accuses the other of bulldozing and bribery. The result is that thirty-two counties in the state have driven out the saloon,either by special prohibitory statute, counter-petition or under the new local option law. Two counties—Alcorn and Grenada—voted “we!” in the election, but but it will he Impossible to get saloons in the towns, on account of counter-petitions. A singular affray occurred In Hinds county, a dozen miles west of this ' city, in which two drunken men, electioneering in the liquor interest, attacked a prominent prohibitionist, and now fill narrow graves in aeountry church yard. The facts are that at Cayuga, near Utica, Dr. Luster and t wo men of the names of Johnson and Finley had a quar rel at a precinct convention, and Johnson exhibited u pistol and made threats against Luster. Late in the evening the doctor : and two friends were passing Johnson’s i house, when Johnson jumped ofl'the gal lery and attacked the doctor, presenting a pistol at him. Luster dismounted on the opposite side of his horse, when Finley and George Park, who were with Johnson, ran to Luster ana seized hold of him. Luster got loose from Park, when Finley assaulted him with a knife, cutting him severely. Luster tired several shots fit Finley, who fell. At this instant Johnson opened fired on Luster. Luster's pistol Deing empty, he was handed another by one of his friends, when he fired three shots at Johnson, killing him almost, instantly. Both tlie men were intoxicated. Dr. Luster is a prominent and loading prohibitionist. He was tried before tlie mayor of Utica and acquitted. The leading prohibitionists are, some of them, far from being total absti nence men, and most of them are bourbon democrats, but they are determined to break tlie influence of the town saloon and the cross-roads doggery in the politics of the county, as well as avert tho demoral ization of the labor of the county by three evils—whisky, vice and firearms. RHEA’S REASONS IVliy lb- llrrlilMsl to Flirlit n Hurl. Louisville, Ky., August 31.—John 8. Rhea, a lawyer of Russellville, is a candi date for congress in the third district, which is now represented by John E. Hal- sell. The latter is a candidate for re- election, and a hot contest for the demo cratic nomination is in progress. At a re cent public meeting at Elkton Rhea, in a speecn, chnrged one T. E. Hite with electioneering statements in behalf of Halsell. Hite sent a note asking for a retrac tion, which was refused. Hite then sent a challenge to Rhea, to which Rhea wrote a reply, in which he declined to fight a duel for several reasons. One was because he had no sort of sympathy for the code that, with deliberate Intent, sought the shedding of one’s own or another’s blood. Another was that the laws of God and man forbade it; and the final reason was that he had one dependent upon him for a supoort, and owed protection to her, and that an acceptance would disbar him from the practice of the profession he had adopted as a livelihood, and would leave him with out the means of support.

New York, August 31.—The unusual dullness in the stock market still continues, fluctuations continue within a very nar row range, and little interest is taken iu the market on either side. Tlie money market still continues to be a great topic of discussion, and the uncertainty of its future is in a great measure due to the present depression of business at the stock exchange. Prices were lower at the open ing this morning, the declines ranging from I to 1 per cent. gen erally. In the early trading prices were weak, which continued until about noon, after which there was a slight reac tion. Hocking Valley was notably strong, but in the last hour prices receded again and the market closed weak at or near the lowest figures reached. The business of the day amounted to 89,000 shares. St. Paul was the leader in activity to-day, its sides reaching 12,000 shares. The closing prices almost invariably show declines, although for fractional amounts only.
