The election of the G jVGarrett ticket

The Gowen Garrett Vand* railway
scheme is one of grand ptrfions. It
means a northern outlet for (Baltimore

The narrow idea that new way linos
must seriously impair the prody of old

the Reading and Baltimore anfio shall

Washington, June 29.—Up to this fore
noon Gulteau was apparently unconcerned
abont what was transpiring around him.
He slept till about eight o’clock, when he
took for breakfast a pound of broiled steak,
with unlimited potatoes, bread and butter
and a quart of coffee. Later in the day, as
bis relatives and friends paid their farewell
visits, he occasionally gave way to a little
excitement, but the only manifestation
of emotion was when a bouquet
was brought him from his 6ister,
Mrs. Scoville. This weakening, however,
was very brief. He made a will bequeath
ing his body to Rev. Dr. Hicks, his spiritual
adviser, with the Injunction that it shall not
be devoted to any mercenary purpose. His
book is also left to Dr. Hicks. His counsel,
Charles Reed, drew the will. When taklDg
leave of his sister he insisted upon kissing
her for the last time through the bars of
his cell, a a king that It he so recorded.
Either Warden Crocker or Assistant War
den Rush was present, at all of these final
Interviews. At times Gulteau would break
out In dfnunelatlon of President Arthur for
hla cowardice, and of the warden and h's
deputy, whom he accused of hounding him
to death.
Gulteau said he wished to be hanged at
noon eharp, but Warden Crocker has set tbe
hour at half past one. The gallows and
rope were tested last night with a bag of
sand weighing 250 pounds and stood the
test successfully.
Rev. Dr. Hicks, who will be the custo
dian of Gulteau’s body, has telegraphed an
Invitation to about twenty prominent physi
cians to be present at tbe autopsy on Gulteau

SOUTH C AROLINA LEGISLATURE.
Redlfttrlcting Project*—The Regis
tration and Jury Law*.
Columbia, 8. C., June 29 —The Legisla
ture, In open session, Is disposing of several
bills of minor importance, the principal
portion of tbe time devoted to
caucussings on the different plans sub
mitted for redistricting. What is known as
the “Dibble” plan, being that pre
pared by Hon. Sami. Dibble, the
contestee in the recent Congres
sional case of Mackey vs. Dibble, was
submitted last night, and is the one which
it is thought will be adopted with some
modification. It arrange’ the districts with
out reference to county lines. The Demo
crats will probably control five of the dis
tricts under the Dibble plan. As soon as
the redistrieting is perfected the Legislature
will drop all other business and adjourn.
The registration laws will be amended in
various ways to render the act more ex
j l cit. One of the sections of the supple
mentary bill p-ovides for a fine of not less
than SIOO nor more than SI,OOO, and Im
prisonment for not less than s’x months nor
more than two years, for any pereon who
shall interfere or obstruct the supervisors in
the discharge of their duties.
The bill to declare tbe law in reference to
the manner of forming juries in criminal
cases in this State, provides that in all
criminal trials, except felonies, the State is
entitled, under the law 6 now in force, only
to two peremptory challenges, and is not
entitled to demand that any juror shall
stand aside except on a peremptory chal
lenge on the part of the State, or for good
cause shown. *

Long Branch, N. J., June 29 —An ex
press train, which left Long Branch at five
minutes past eight o’clock this morning,
met with a terrible accident while crossing
a bridge over a branch of the Shrewsberry
river, near Little Sltva station. The acci
dent was, no doubt, caused by the spread
ing of the rails. S x cars, including four
ordinary passenger coaches, a smoking car,
and the Pullman parlor “Zenobia,” left the
rails and ran over the ties of the bridge,
tearing them to splinters. * The
cars kept on the bridge

four passenger coaches and a smoking car
went over into the water with a terrible
crash. The cars landed on thslr sides In
about four feet of water. The icenc that

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Plea*iitt>* Bond-Poker Playing In
the Capital-Report* from Virginia
—The Senate’* Water Supply—Tbe
Name Old Story.
Washington, June 28.—A report from the
investigation as to why Pleasants has not been
able to file a bond is expected the latter part
of this or the first part of next week. If it is
found that Pleasants is unable to make a good
bond, someone else will be nominated for the
place. The Treasury Department has given
him much more than the usual length of time
to prepare his bond. It is stated here that the
chief cause of Pleasants’ troubles is Mr, Wade,
to succeed whom he was nominated. It is said
that Mr. Wade is doing ail in his power to pre
vent people going on the bond of Pleasants.
POKER PLAYING.
The big game of poker, involving over $150,-
000, now in the courts in New York State, has
drawn a good deal of attention to the game of
noker. Poker is our national game at cards.
It is played more in this city than anywhere
else in the countrv. During the winter there
are thousands of games going on niehtly in
addition to piaving in gambling houses and
poker rooms. Nearly everybody plays it. It is
really a fashionable pastime. Young ladies and
gentlemen organize card parties for mutual
fun, and poker is the principal game played.
It is plaj ed in all circles of society. Congress
men all play—that is. nearly all. In most
cases the stakes played for are small but in
many cases they are very large. A noted
poker player tells me that bigger sums of
money change;hands now, as the result of the
game, than he has known for years The big
gest. money won at a sirgie sitting this session
of Congress, he says, was SIO,OOI. This was
won in a room at Willard’s the players
being a couple of army officers, a member of
Congress from New York aud my informant.
The "pot.” which amounted to $lO 000, was
won by the Congressman. In every ho'el
there are three or four poker clubs, as they
are called. The meetings are nightly, and
there are always plenty on hand to indulge in
the alluring sport. Some of the “lay outs” are
very costly. Tables constructed for poker
playing alone are often very handsome and
costly. The chips, too, are in many cases very
elaborately gotten up The costly ones are of
ivory. Aleck Shepherd, who used to be a big
poker player, left when he went to Mexico a
present of his set of chips to a friend. It is said ]
that he paid five hundred dollars for I
the set. The regular gambling game—that is,
where the stakes and not the amusement is the
object of play—is carried on in gambling
houses or over small cigar stores. The appa
rent object of the latter place is to ssll cigars,
but there is always a room overhead or at the
rear of the store, where playing goes on. The
players pay for the privilege of usin<r the room.
Very often the keeper of the place j im In and
“skins” the crowd. He is what is called a
poker sharp. The late President was very fond
of a small game. New Yorkers are the best
players here. Western men do more
bluffing, and Southern men manage
to keep their end up pretty well.
New Englanders play the game cautiously and
to win. They are what are termed “close”
players. Army and navy officers are the
longest sitters. They do not know when to
stop until the loss of all the funds on hand
compel them to quit. It is a little warm now
for the game, but the lovers of it take a great
deal of pleasure in talking about the big game
now in the courts.
THE FIGHT IN VIRGINIA.
The reports which Virginia politicians bring
here from that State point very strongly to
the fair possibility of the Btate being redeemed
at the coming election. They say that Mahone
ism is not near so strong now as it was
a year ago. The Readjusters have taken to
lighting and scratching each other so savagely
about the spoils that they are much weakened.
The Democrats, on the other hand, have given
over fighting each other almost entirely, and
are doing more work collectively than for the
past three elections. Many Democrats who
went over to Mahone are coming back into
camp. Some of the heretofore leadi ig Read
justers are fighting Mahone. One of the prin
cipal features of the work is the impressing
upon the minds of voters that the State
wants no boss. The exposition of Mahone as
the only Southern “boss” is having good effect.
If the reports be half true, there is no doubt
but that the Old Dominion will be redeemed.
A COOL. DRINK.
The Senate does not drink common water—
apollinaris is their brand of water. The cloak
rooms have it iced, and all who enter can
slake their thirst at the expense of the contin
gent fund. During the cooi weather six dozen
bottles of this water served every purpose,
how it takes eight dozen to quench the Sena
torial thirst. The House has to content itself
with plain ice water. Some Senators say that
the reason so many members of the House
visit the Senate chamber is to get a drink of
their free apollinaris water. The House,
they say, is 8 fraid that the newspapers would
call it extravagance if its members were to
order apollinaris water at the public ex
pense. Afraid to buy the luxury themselves,
the members of the House go over and drink
the water paid for by the Senate.
THE SAKE OLD STORY.
Lieutenant Danenhower, of the lost Jean
nette, left the city this morning for Capon
Springs, in Virginia. He received a letter yes
terday from Engineer Melville, who is hunting
for the rest of the Jeannette’s crew, which
shows that money getting is as strong a pas
sion among the natives of Siberia as among the
natives of the United States.
Melville, who was then fitting out his search
party, says that the Russian traders charged
him immense sums of money for all supplies.
The natives got the idea that he had untold
wealth to throw away. For everything they
did Tor him, and for every little thing furnish
ed, they sent in enormous bills. They have got
the idea that the whole Treasury of the United
States is to be emptied among them. Bays
Melville: “The Russian traders have spoiled
the natives.” Potomac.

Tallahassib, June 28.— Editor Homing
Aetc*: Although our dull season has set in and
our merchants have but little to do besides
taking an inventory of their stock, though the
lawyer is for the time briefless, yet in s -me of
our State departments there is unusual ac
tivity. Especially is this so in the office of the
Commissioner of Lands and Immigration.
The constant influx of immigrants to our
State, together with the several railroads
now being constructed in various sections,
has created quite a demand for public
lands. The shrewd speculator “sees millions
in it,” and forthwith hies him to the capital,
where he seeks to enter some choice land upon
which he hopes to realize a handsome profit.
The railroad President having completed a sec
tion of his road, and being entitled under the
internal improvement act to a subsidy in lands,
also comes hither to make his selection. Never
before was there such a rush. The usual
clerical force of this office has been in-
sufficient, for so heavy is the work
from these and other causes, that an increase
has been necessary. More lands are sold in
three months now than In twelve months some
years ago. There are three classes of
so-called State lands, to wit: the swamp and
overflowed, which, together with the five him
dred thousand acres donated by Congress for
purposes of internal improvement, now consti
tute the internal improvement lane's; the
school and seminary lands. The first, by the
act of 1855, are vested in the Gover
nor, Comptroller, Treasurer, Attor
ney General and Register (now
Commissioner of Lands and Immigration) add
their successors in office, as trustees of the in
ternal improvement fund. The swamp and
overflowed lands comprise some fifteen mil
lion of acres, and liberal donations have been
made from time to time in a'd of various
railroads and canals. As much as Florida
boasts of her network of railroads in some sec
tions, but few of them would ever have been
constructed but for the liberality of Con
gress in the grant of these lands, by
which she has been enabled to foster
these great works of internal improvement.
Millions of acres have been donated for this
purpose, and we now see with what effect
more than a thousand miles of railways and
canals have been and are being constructed.
The other two classes of lands (school and
seminary) are for specific purposes. The six
teenth section in every township is selected as
school lands, and the proceeds of the sales are
invested in Florida six and seven per cent,
bonds, which, according to the re
port of the State Treasurer in 1880,
amounted to $230 900. The interest on
these bonds, together with the special State
and county tax. sustain our common schools.
I The proceeds of the seminary lands are like
wise invested in State bonds, which now
I amount to about $84,500, and the interest ac
cruing thereon is divided between the two
I seminaries at Gainesville and Tallahassee. It
will thus bes en that the State owns three
several classes of land only as trustee for cer-
I tain specific purposes, and that she is power-
I less to pledge them for any State
debt. The Commissioner of Lands
is the salesman, ajid has to keep three separa'e
accounts of his sales. Every mail brings him
scores of letters from anxious inquirers, all of
which must be answered. Nor is the Commis
sioner of the Bureau of Immigration idle. i n
addition to the work of preparing his forth
coming pamphlet, relative to the soil, climate
and resources of the State, the bureau has to
answer hundreds of letters received from every
State in tbe Union, which of itself is no light
work. I am informed by the Commissioner
that his pamphlet will be about one hundred
and twenty-five pages, and judgingfrom wh:,t I
have seen, it will be a valuable handbook to
the intending immigrant. No rose colored de
scriptions will be given, but simply the facts
and reliable statistical information. It is near
ly ready for the press, and will be issued about
the first of August. The Commissioner in
forms me also that in his biennial report he
will strongly recommend an appropriation for
a geological survey of the State. This is a
great desideratum, and it is hoped that our
Solons will make a liberal appropriation for
that purpose Iron, copper, silver, gold,
lead, coal and petroleum do exist, but to what
extent is not known. Every geological work
that I have examined betrays a lamentable
ignorance as regards the geology of our State,
and what few savans have penetrated into
the interior have been astonished at the evi
dences of rich mineral deposits. It is well
known to a few that galena abounds in cer
tain portions, and I have myself seen some i
rich specimens of anthracite coal. If, there
fore. an appropriation can be obtained at the j
next meeting of our Legislature for the pur
posehaving a survey made, we may look for
ward to wonderful re,suits therefrom.
I Our public schools closed on Friday last, and
I now follows the long vacation of three months.
Whether our modern instructors can teach
I more in nice months than did the pedagogue
1 of our fathers in ten and eleven, I know not.
I At any rate, three months vacation, in these
days, seems to be the rule. The complaint is,
I that the weather is too warm and the pupils
wiil not attend. But in former times the wishes
I of the latter were not so much regarded—
the parent’s will was law, and only a six weeks
or two months’ vacation was allowed. Tern
pora mutantur et nos mutamus illis The
Board of Education of the West Florida Semi
nary, located here, have heretofore had the
male and female departments in separate
buildings and under separate teachers. In fu
ture they have determined to adopt the now
almost universal system of coeducation of the
I two sexes under the same corps of teachers.
This plan has many advantages, and has al
ways been tried with success. A spirit of ri
valry is created between the male and female
pupils, both as to deportment and studies.
With an endowment amounting to nearly
$3,000 a year and good philosophical and
chemical apparatus, and an efficient corps of
I instructors, X see no reason wby this institu-
I tion should not be the best in the State.
I On Friday, 23d, we had quite an unusual
storm for this season of the year, though for
tunately it was of short duration. The usual
premonitions of a thunder storm was wanting
in this. The day had been clear, and many of
our young people had assembled to witness a
base ball match between two rival clubs. Some
were out taking a pleasant evening drive,
while many of the ladies and children were
visiting or shopping-indeed, it was at that
time of day when in pleasant weather nearly
every one is from home. Suddenly a dark
cloud was seen in the east rapidly approach
ing, and every one ran for shelter. Very soon
a young tornado was upon us. The wind blew
with almost resistless force, and the
rain fell in torrents. Fences, and
in some instances trees, were blown down,
and had the earth been previous
ly soaked by copious showers, many a hand
some shade tree would have been uprooted.
As it was, the damage to the crops and roads
in the country around was not altogether in
significant. The corn was prostrated, and
such is the condition of the washes on some of
the roads that they will require working at
once. Coming on as it did, at 6:30 p. m., many
were caught away from their homes and
could not return until far into the
night. More than one careful house
wife found to her dismay that she
had her “keys” with her, and access to the
family larder was delayed and supper i)0?t-j
poned to a most unreasonable time. Children*!
were caught away from tbeir homes, and more
than one anxious parent was in great distress
as to their safety: while ladies who had gone
out to do an hour’s shopping had to content
themselves by remaining in the stores until
some friendly hack could take them home.
For three hours our two livery establishments
were taxed to their utmost in car
rying home the belated ones A gen
tleman who was out on the Gulf at the
time, says that he never before wit
nessed such a scene, that the fury of the storm
was indescribable, and that he saw no less
tean four small water spouts during its con
tinuance. But now that the danger has passed
and no one hurt, no property damaged, the
numerous lunicrous incidents that happened,
and the condition of the belated and bedraggled
ones form a pleasing episode at this dull sea
son. What threatened to be tragic resolved
into the comic.
Governor lfioxham, after an absence
of several weeks in Washington, ig
again in the Executive office. The posi
tion of Governor of "little Florida” is by no
means a sinecure. Not only is he the Execu
tive in the usual sense, but by virtue of his
! office he is one of the trustees of the interna
improvement fund, which of itself takes up
much of his time, and often requires prolonged
and frequent absence from the seat of govern
ment. as a member of this board, and in his
capacity of Executive, he recently visited
Washington, and notwithstanding the red tape
system that prevails there to such an extent, I
learn from him that the various State matters
that there engaged his attention are in a fair
way of adjustment, and that our State will
soon have justice done her. Leon.

This is to let the people know that I,
Anna Maria Krlder, wife of Tobias Krlder,
am now past eeventy-four years of age. My
health has been very bad for some years
past. I was troubled with weakness, bad
cough, dyspepsia, great debility and con

I could hardly eat anything. I heard of
Hop Bitters, and was resolved to try them.
I have only used three bottles, and I feel
wonderfully good, well and strong again.
My bowels are regular, my appetite good,

think it my duty to let the people know, as
so many knew how bad I was, what the
medicine had done for me, so they can cure

ST. JOSEPH’S ACADEMY.
Commencement Exercise* at Wash
ington.
Washington, Ga., June 28. —Editor Morning
News: Knowing that many of Savannah’s fair
daughters are attending school at St. Joseph’s
Academy, I think it will be a pleasure to their
I home friends to be informed, through the me
dium of your valuable' paper, of the laudable
manner in which they acquitted themselves at
the last public examination.
The exercises were conducted on three suc
cessive days, Wednesday evening, June 21, be
ing devoted to the elementary classes. The
little ones were examined in catechism, arith
metic, grammar, geography, United States
history, reading and orthography. They
showed great proficiency in answering ques
tions, and delighted all by the confidence and
self-possession evinced in their respective ex
aminations. Answers were given in clear, dis
tinct tones, which testified that though they
were but little girls they had laid a goodly
foundation of knowledge and thoroughly un
derstood those portions of the text books as
signed for their grade.
On Thursday the junior preparatory and
first collegiate classes were examined. As
soon as visitors entered the school room our
admiration was warmly expressed at the
beautiful drawings adorning the blackboard.
After a recitation in Bible history, the class in
natural philosophy came forward, and the
utility of the illustrations was then manifested,
serving as they did to elucidate the answers
given in that science. Classes in arithmetic,
rhetoric, United States history and algebra
followed. The juniors in geography showed
careful preparation, not only in recitation, but
more especially in map drawing: within a few
minutes each pupil had a handsome map on
the board. They not only drew maps indi
vidually. but in concert, locating from memory
cities, rivers, etc., with wonderful accuracy and
rapidity.
Next the botany class distinguished them
selves by the ease aud grace with which they
covered the board with representations of
leaves. The pupils of this division received
great praise from their appreciative audience
The examination was conducted in a masterly
manner, and clearly proved that the young la
dies had well availed themselves of the golden
opportunities afforded for acquiring a solid and
refined education. As the examinations con
tinutd, the interest of the public increased
and on Friday a still larger audience < on
vened. amongst whom might be men
tioned several of the most dis
tinguished citizens of Washington. On that
day the Second and Third collegiate classes—
I the latter the graduating cla^s—were exam
ined. After a recitation in church history, the
class in geology was called, and by means of
blackboard illustrations and well expressed
answers elicited high encomiums from their
delighted guests Then followed the two
classes in arithmetic; the examples were se
lected from a text book unused in the school
which, being written on cards and drawn from
j a box placed in the hand of a gentleman pre
sent. prevented any possibility of the pupils
performing set examples for examination dis
play. A class in higher botany was well pre
pared to define numerous technical terms, to
give practical knowledge learned from nature,
and analyzed flowers in the presence of the
spectators. The class in geometry gave evi
dence of great mathematical skill by their
readiness to demonstrate theorems and solve
difficult problems
The class in English literature was most en
tertaining, and it is to be regretted that,
although the graduates were prepared to an
swer questions throughout the book, time per
j raitteci but a brief recital. In trigonometry
the young ladies convinced the gentlemen
present that the feminine mind is fully capa
ble of studying the higher
branches of mathematics, and merit the praise
given for their readiness and skill in solving
aud explaining problems. When we entered
the room a rather pretentious table met our
gaze. On it were arrayed retorts, test tubes
andjt he paraphernalia incident tojthe labora
tory. Its use was now apparent when 'he
chemistry class presented*-itself. The table
was moved before the young ladies, and each
and every one illustrated her answers. They
generated gases, end performed a variety of
beautiful and interesting experiments. This
was anew feature in examinations in chemiF
try, and the young ladies deserve great credit
for their courage and ability to thus inaugu
rate so instructive a phase of chemical analy
sis. The examinations closed by a contest in
the spelling of geographical names. The con- |
test was so well ana so long sustained that it
was deemed expedient to close it long before
the young ladies would have been vanquished
The exercises of the three days were agree
ably varied by music, recitations, essays and
selected readings. I understand that the pu
pils have received vocal lessons daily during
the past year, and the singing was certainly
superior and gained them additional laurels.
The elocutionary performances were well pre
pared and given in a style not usual to school
girls. On the whole the examination was the
success of the season, and I can but add my
applause to the commendations of the sur
prised and delighted audience who waited to
congratulate the young ladies upon their bril
liant success. Where all showed evidence of
diligent study and earnest application, it
would be unjust to signalize those who ex
celled Suffice it to say that next year I hope
more Savannah friends will be present to wit
ness the workings of this thorough institution
whose superiority is ably manifested bi the
unrivalled examinations of its pupils.

THE FALL OF GEN. IGNATIEFF.
How a Knsafan minister Fell Over
the New Jewish Question.
Fifteen months have passed since the
present Czar ascended the throne, and yet
he has already tried three Counts to govern
his country, which has become well-nigh
ungovernable. In the first place, Count
Melikoff was the omnipotent Minister of the
Interior. There was not the least doubt
that he was equal to his task; but as he
urged the Czar to sacrifice his autocratic
prerogatlveetfor the welfare of his people,the
Count fell, and the Constitutionalist party
for the time being lost its influence. Then
another Count, General Ignatieff, was called
to the post of Minister of the Interior, and
along with him the old Slavophiles were
taken into the Czar’s council. This Count
sought to establish order In Russia by bring
ing the rest of Europe into disorder. But
the Count soon reached the bad necessity of
requesting the Czar, on the pretext of ill
health, to relieve him from his post.
General IgnatiefPs internal policy has been
a wise one. At the very beginning of his
administration he Issued a circular declaring
that without delay a system should be
adopted by which the people’s representa
tives would be enabled to co-operate with
the government, and In pursuance of this
project he twice Invited a number of pro
vincial representatives not only to discuss,
but even to decide, some of the most vital
State questions. The invitation to the pro
vincial statesmen was but a preliminary
measure to the calling of a General Asssm
bly of the people’s representatives. The
Idea of the cunning Count Ignatieff was to
relieve the Czar of the task of ruling Russia,
and yet to preserve the sham of autocracy ;
in short, he wanted to restore the
Zemsky Sobor, or National Legislative
Assembly. Had General Ignatieff pursued
only bis internal policy he might have
done great things; but, unhappily, he was
too much of a diplomat not to look abroad.
The Austrian machination on the Balkan
Peninsula made him crazy, and he reckless
ly undertook the direction of foreign policy,
which was not his business at all. It is
hardly necessary to state here that the brave
Gen. Skobeleff was the mouthpiece of Gen.
Ignatieff. When the young Czar realized
that, there was danger of a Russian German
conflict, and that Ivan’s caps could not do
much against Krupp’s cannon, the last hour
of Gen. Ignatieff had struck. Mr. Glers,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, who felt deeply
hurt by the usurpatory tendencies of the
Minister of the Interior, waited only a chance
to rebuke the usurper, and soon he got It.
The Jewish question had been brought
before the Cabinet of Ministers. It is well
known here with what extraordinary leni
ency Gen. Ignatieff treated the gross neg
lect of the local authorities to prevent or
suppress the anti Jewish riots; in fact, he
was ready to sacrifice the Jews in order to
get popularity with the bulk of the Russian
people, who, for many reasons, dislike
them. But Mr. Giers stood up to defend
the dignity of the law and the government.
“The Jews,” he declared, “are as much the
subjects of His Majesty as any other na
tionality living under his sceptre, and
therefore they have a full right to expect
from the government the protection of
their lives and property.” The other Min
isters sided with Mr. Giers. Thus Gen. Ig
natieff lost his influence, and he had to en
force the rules which he could not approve.
In pursuance of a ukase of the Czar, the
Senate issued, on May 25th, the following
declaration:
“The Emperor is pleased to inform his
subjects that the government has firmly
decided to prosecute any crimes committed
against the persons or the property of the
Jews, for they have the same right to the
protection of law as the rest of the Czar’s
subjects.”
General lgnatleff had to issue the order
that this declaration be read and posted in
all the towns and villages of the provinces
mostly populated by Jews. He had a’so to
enforce another declaration of the Benate
that any civil or military officer neglecting
to prevent or suppress the anti-Jewish riots
should be dismissed from the service.
Meanwhile, in view of the Russian-Ger
man conflict, and particularly on account of
the forced Jewish exodus, Russian foreign
trade has collapsed and Russian credit
abroad has fallen as low as ever before.
Russian capitalists bitterly complain that
General Ignatieff was ruining the country.
Under such circumstances the Count had no
choice but to retire from office.
A Word to the Strlkerg.
New York Sun.
What is it that drives so many thousands
of industrious men to leave off work on
which they depend for subsistence? They
do this because their wages are insufficient
to support them, aDd because they hope by
striking to compel their employers to pay
them more.
Why are their wages Insufficient? Be
cause the enormous taxes which are imposed
upon all the people of this country, and
which, at last, fall with the most crushing
weight upon those who labor with their
hands, so increase the cost of the absolute
necessaries of life that workingmen are no
longer able to procure them.
Why are such enormous taxes Imposed ?
Originally they were imposed to meet the
necessities of the civil war which was fought
to maintain the unity of the country. In
that war a million lives and many thousand
millions of dollars were sacrificed; and the
sacrifice was cheerfully borne. In order to
bear this enormous expense, taxes never
before known In the history of the country
were levied upon the people; and, In addi
tion to the money raised by taxes, an Im
mense public debt was contracted, the in
terest of which and the payment of which
also had to be provided for by taxation.
But has not a large part of this debt been
paid? Yes, a very large part of It. The
taxation has proved to be far more produc
tive than was ever expected. So much
money has been poured into the Treasury
that in the short period of seventeen years a
greater proportion of the debt had been ex
tinguished than any one supposed would be
extinguished in fifty yfhrs. The Republi
can administrators of the government have
made a great account of this premature pay
ment of the public debt. They have been
vain, proud of it, gloried in it, and have
never had|a thought about the terrible bur
dens they were laying upon the shoulders of
the people.
But is all the money which is raised by
these awful taxes applied to paying off the
public debt? No, lc is not. Notwithstand
ing the enormous sums paid on that ac
count, there is now in the Treasury a sur
plus of more than a hundred and forty mil
lions of dollars, and this vast surplus the
Republicans are eagerly perverting to every
kind of job, to every sort of useless and
unjustifiable scheme, and to various dis
honest purposes, such as a hundred millions
to unnecessary pensions, mostly fraudulent.
Moreover, millions upon millions have been
stolen outright and divided in various sums
among thieves connected with the Navy
Department, thieves connected with the
whisky ring, in the Washington city ring,
and thieves high and low, limited and un
limited.
But now when the pressure comes, and
when the people In their distress are crying
out in agony, and even refusing to work be
cause their work does not bring them a
livelihood, do not the Republicans, who
control all branches of the government, leg
islative, executive and judicial, propose to
lessen these burdens and to leave the peo
ple a little of the substance which they
have saved, notwithstanding their terrible
extortions'? No; they do not propose to do
any such thing. They look with Indiffer
ence on the suffering mass of laborers,
those who are striking and those who yet
continue to work in t'ne hope that they may
be allowed to earn a livelihood. From their
burdens they will not reipoye a hair’s
weight; from their taxes they will not take
off a penny.
The only safety for the people is In turn
ing the Republican party out of power.

AN ODD OCEAN STEAMEB,
No nutr, ibe Deck Covered with a
Dome, and to Cro** the Atlantic
in Six Oar*.
A dome covered and mastless vessel is
being built at N yack, New York, at the yard
of James E, Smith, for the American Quick
Transit Steamship Company. It is the in
vention of Captain Moreland, for forty
years connected with the Canard Line. 3he
will be launched about the middle of July,
but as It will take at least a month to put
In her boilers and machinery, she
will not be ready for her trial trip
before the latter part of August. If she re
alizes the expectations of her inventor ahe
will be put in the West India fruit trade,
and other vessels will be made for the
freight and passenger transatlantic service.
All of he? timbers are In position, her
planking is about completed, and a iarge
force cf men are hurrying forward the
work. The best materials are used, and
she will be stronger than the ordinary ves
sel to sustain the strain of h*3®
which will be double the usual po?.v
The vessel is 150 feet long, 21 b&t
16 extreme breadth. She is sharp forward.'
and has a long, clean run afr. The speed
promised is about 25 miles an hour, to that
the voyage across the Atlantic may be
made in less than six days The model is
different in every important respect from
the ocean steamers uow in use. First, she
has about 33 pef cent, more beam, and in
stead of the straight sides going deep down
into the water, there will be a graceful rise
from the keel to the load line. It is
claimed that the hull will be more stable
without ballast than the present type of
vessels. The “turtle back,” or dome
deck, is a distinguishing feature,
ss it will afford enlarged
apace on passenger vessels for saloon ac
commodation, and on freight vessels, for
the comfortable housing of cattle. It can
be used as a promenade deck in fair weather.
The whole upper deck will thus be covered
In, and the space usually exposed to the
weather will be entirely utilized, it will
thus be light, airy and well ventilated.
Abaft will be the main saloon, a spacious'
apartment, furnished in mahogany and
black walnut. Large staterooms will open
from the main saloon. Directly forward of
the main saloon will be the engine room,
then the mess room and officers’ staterooms.
Still further forward will be the quar
ters for the crew. Greater safe
ty Is claimed for the turtle-back-
It will tie the vessel’s sides together, thua
making her stronger; no sea, no matter
how large, can strike at right angles, and
the coneussive force from boarding seas la
avoided by the perfect shedding of them
on the curved surface. The wheelhouse,
smokestacks, ventilators, and flags and sig
nal staffs will be the only things rising
above the upper decks. There will be no
fpars or masts. Among the advantages
claimed are the absence of all top weight,
which strains the ship in heavy weather, the
avoiding of a great outlay for sails and rig
ging, and the dispensing with a large
crew of practical sailors. Another claim
is that, in a straight course on the
ocean, taking the wind as It blows, the at
mospheric resistance against the spars,
masts, and riggine of a vessel driven by
steam power is so great that the gain bv
their removal will more than compensate
for the loss of the advantage of sails in a
favoring breeze. To meet the emergency of
derangement to the main shaft, screw or
machinery at sea, a pair of auxiliary screws
are placed one above the other in the dead
wood just forward of the rudder post, and
entirely independent of the main shaft and
screw. When not in uRe they will be en
closed by large shutters flush with the wood.
If the ordinary steering apparatus should
become disabled, the arrangement of these
shutters is such that they can be used as %
sort of double rudder, one for port and one
for starboard. -
SELLING SPRAGUE S ESTATE.
The Oiler of Thirty Cent* on a Dol.
Ur Refnae d—City Loti Sold at
Rnlnom Price*.
General Butler and the Hon. Benedict
Lapbam called at Trustee Chaffee’s house
late last Monday evening to consult with
him relative to the purchase of the Bprague
trust estate. They had, with General Pryor,
seen Chaffee on Saturday last, when a ver
bal agreement was made, as the Spragues
say, whereby Mr. Chaffee was to accept a
check for SIOO,OOO as earnest money, ana on
Monday was to transfer the property to the
creditors’ board of directors. On Monday
the agreement was placed In writing and
submitted to Mr. Chaffee,who, after consult
ing his attorneys, refused to accept the offer
of settlement or thirt v cents on the dollar.
Oen. Butler arrived at 7 p. m., and, learn
ing of the refusal, went to Chaffee’s house
to see what had caused him to reconsider.
Mr. Chaffee found fault with the terms of
payment, desiring that the first cash pay
ment instead of being 5 per cent, of the 30
cents on the dollar should be one sixth of
the entire amount to be paid, or $450,000.
This change was accepted by Gen. Butler,
and every other chance suggested was
acceded to by him. Finally, seeing that
Mr. Chaffee was not inclined to sell even
upon his own terms, although Gen. Butler
agreed to lay down a certified check
for SIOO,OOO to bind the creditors’ board,
the -gentlemen were forced to retire
completely baffled in their attempt to
save the estate. This noon the first four
parcels of the trust estate were sold at
auction by Mr. Chaffee’s directions. There
were four lots, with buildings and improve
ments, situated in the business centre of
the city and only a few steps from the
principal business streets. Land adjacent
was sold at auction last week for $7 50 per
foot. Eight dollars per foot for the Sprague
lots would be a low estimate, the auction
eer placing $6 as a ridiculously low price.
In face of this the four lots aggregating
nearly 30.000 square feet, sold for $1 75.
$1 60, $2 71 and $4 per foot. The last two
lots were mortgaged, and the mortgagees
forced the bidding sufficiently to protect
themselves. All the four lots brought wta
$66,031 96. Of this amount $40,000 Is to be
deducted upon the three mortgages—two of
$15,000 -and one of SIO,OOO, leaving the net
proceeds a trifle over $26,000; out of which
must come auctioneer’s fees, cost of adver
tising, and legal costs In drawing up deeds
etc. Taking this as a basis, creditors out
side of the syndicate stand a chance of get
ting 10 cents on a dollar Instead of 33 as
offered by Butler and Lapham. The bid
ding outside of that done by mortgagees
was done by members of the syndicate, and
all the property was bid In by a broker for
the syndicate. The great sacrifice caused
by to-day’s sale is painfully palpable and
Indicates fully the wreck that Is to be made
of the estate. On Thursday the (Jr&nston
Print Works are to be sold.
The Treasury authorities have discovered
quite an extensive scheme to rob the Treas
ury through bounty claims. The claims
relate to cases In which soldiers have died
and they are represented by relatives, such
as widows, children, parents, guardians, etc.
It has been ascertained that considerable
evidence filed In some of these cases Is
fraudulent, and the authorities fear that
there have been more frauds than have been
detected.
