CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Some of the Department* Hare It and
Some Haven’t-The Other Blaine's
(sinecure.
The latest development in the public
service, says a Washington special. Is
that the Agricultural Bureau, presided
over by the magnificent and superfluous
Goring, is not under the operation of the
civil service law, which has trom the
first been disregarded there. Commis
sioner Eaton, while admitting this, with
holds the reason.
In a letter replying to one asking for
information, he says the Agricultural
Bureau is exempted from the civil service
rules, and is run according to the rules
of Loring, because President Arthur, in
promulgating the rules and orders giving
effect to the law, did not specify that
branch of the government. Whether the
omission so to do was by design or acci
dent, the wily Eaton will not say, but
leaves to be inferred that it was one of
those little games which, as they cannot
always be prevented, have to be' winked
at for the benefit of important personages
and peculiar objects.
The law makes no exceptions, and is
expressly applicable to all departments
alike. The Agricultural Bureau belongs
to the Interior Department. It is singu
lar only in its own practices. That it
should escape the operation of the law is,
indeed, remarkable, but not more so than
some other things in the service, which,
from being tolerated so long, have become
usage as sacred as law itself.
It was only a short time ago that Mr.
Eaton made a merit of bringing under the
operation of the law and the civil service
rules the Bureau of Geological Survey,
which required technical knowledge
solely. On that account, and
under the language of the law it was
claimed it should not come under Abe
rules. But Mr. Eaton held that the law
applied to all departments, bureaus and
branches ol the service whatever, and
that therefore the Board of Commission
ers had no option, and must bring the en
tire service under the law. Asa matter of
fact, the law itself makes the exemption
of a part of the service impossible, and
only recently Mr. Eaton so held, though
he was at the time, as he had been before,
and has since done, countenancing the
open and complete disregard of the law
at the Agricultural Bureau.
If there is any eftioucy in the civil ser
vice law to prevent or reform abuses,
there is no spot in the government where
there Is greater need of its rigid enforce
ment than the Agricultural Bureau. It
is an inevitable inference that the branch
of the service which sets aside a law of
Congress should tie restrained in its ir
regular operations, and if possible re
formed.
Commissioner Baton at one time said
that the board bad taken on themselves
more than thev could do, and left It to be
inferred that hence the law was not en
forced at the Agricultural Bureau. At
another he writes that the fault is with
the President. AA'bere the truth resides is
an open question. But there is no ques
tion at all about the way the law is dis
regarded at Loring’s concern,ar about the
abuses existing there.
Senator Hale should proceed to find out
the truth and locate the responsibility.
It is a suggestion not without reason that
the Agricultural Bureau is not the only
place where the civil service law, not to
mention other laws, is not enforced—a
lact that Mr. Hale would not have to go
far to find out, if the truth is what he is
after.
A brother of James G. Blaiue is a bene
ficiary of the peculiar methods now in
vogue at the Agricultural Bureau. Nom
inally he is the superintendent or keeper
ol Dr. Loring’s latest device in humbug
gery. Some months ago a capacious
building of the most inflammable mate
rial, and for that reason a perpetual men
ace to the neighborhood where it stands,
was built by the direction of the Commis
sioner to receive the agricultural exhibit
presented by the late Atlanta Exhi
bition Association. A few cart loads
of agricultcral belongings were
placed in the building, and Blaine's
brother, who, like the restof his relations,
is here to live off the government, was
appointed to oversee them. It is repre
sented to be a museum, but on a thousand
farms in the great agricultural districts
its superior is to be found. There is not
an average of three visitors ’a week, and
no one ever goes a second time or comes
away without a vivid impression of the
ridiculousness of the affair. The only
thing accomplished by this arbitrary ex
penditure of several thousands of dollars
is the job of putting up the building and
an office—an absolute sinecure—for
Blaine, who earns nothing, and whose
pay is five times as much as he could
earn at any honest work.
These things, in addition to the nulli
fication of the civil service law at the
Agricultural Bureau, are narrated as a
few among the many there to which Mr.
Hale and his committee, if they are really’
in pursuit of frauds in the service, should
turn their attention.
BUCKING AN IRISH ROCK.
Graphic Description by a Society Girl
of an Ocean Incident on the “Au
rania.”
A cable news paragraph, says the New
York 1 Vorld, recently mentioned the fact
that the Cunard steamer Aurania, on her
last outward trip from New York touched
a rock ou the coast of Ireland. Letters
lately received in this city by relatives of
passengers on the Aurania give full ac
counts of the mishap and show how
staunch a vessel the Aurania is. Avery
graphic description of the ei’eat has been
sent by a well known young married
lady, who is prominent in New York so
ciety, to her father. She states that the
trip up till midday of AVednesday, June
11, had been a very pleasant one,’ and as
there were many New Yorkers mutually
acquainted on board the time had passed
very enjoyably. Soon after noon on
Wednesday, however, the Aurania be
came enveloped in a dense fog as they
were approaching the Irish coast.
“Air. L„ Aliss W. and mvself,” continues
the narrator, “were standing on deck for
ward about 7:30 o’clock. It was still
twilight and the last rays of the sun had
given the dense fog which surrounded us
a pinkish timre. Suddenly Aliss AV. said:
“ *1 bear breakers.’
“We could not detect any sound, *and I
laughed at her fears, when suddenly tbe
vessel slowed and an immense rock,
higher than our masts, as it seemed, rose
out ot tbe mist before us. It was too late
to check our speed sufficiently and we
struck it with much force, then rebounded
and stfuck it again. It was a moment of
suspense and then came the orders, sharp
and quick, to reverse the engines, close
tbe compartments and watch tbe boats.
Every one was ordered immediately on
deck, and every one was self-possessed,
so great was the effect of the admirable
discipline displayed bv officers and crew.
“It was soon seen that we were in a
land-locked cove, surrounded by high
cliffs. The backing out, which took some
fifteen minutes, were anxious ones in
deed, for although it was announced that
the vessel was not leaking, we did not
know what moment we might strike the
rooks again. There were 900 passengers
on board, 485 of whom were in the first
cabin.
Georgia’s Delegation £u Route.
Atlanta, Ga., July 4.— The Chicago
delegates assembled here to-day and held
a meeting. Gen. Lawton was elected
Chairman. The delegates are in favor of
accepting any candidate thought to be
most available by the Northern Demo
crats. No preferences were expressed at
the meeting and nothing on that line was
discussed during the session. The dele
gation left to-night, at 11:40 o’clock, in
three hotel cars. A uumber of alternates
and other prominent Georgians accom
pany the party. The headquarters will
be at the Grand Pacific Hotel. They will
reach Chicago Sunday morning.' The
South Carolina delegation passed through
Atlanta this afternoon en route to Chi
cago.
Democrat* Attacked by Negroes.
Mobile. July 4.— As a party of Demo
crats, twenty-one in number, were re
turning from’a political meeting at Bull’s
head, four miles from town, this after
noon, their wagons were fired into by
two negroes armed with shotguns. A
railroad mechanic named Charles Smith
had both eyes shot out and died
in an hour. Six others were more or less
seriously injured. The negroes were in
tbe Catholic graveyard partly hidden by
a fence. They escaped by running. The
attack was evidently caused a small
disturbance which took place Between a
white man and a negro during the pro
gress of the meeting at Bull’s Head.

The Senate Puts the Bill Aside till De
cember—Mexican Pensions Busy the
House the Greater Part of the Day to
no Result—The Two Houses Par Apart
on the Legislative Appropriation BUI.
Washington, July 4.—The Senate
was called to order promptly at 11 o’clock,
and, after prayer by Bishop Andrews, the
Declaration of Independence was read by
Gen. McCook, Secretary of the Senate.
Mr. Hale submitted the report of the con
ference committee on’the deficiency bills,
stating that each House had made certain
concessions, but there were twenty-three of
the Senate amendments on which the con
ferees were unable to agree. On motion of
Mr. Hale the Senate further insisted on its
amendments and reappointed the same com
mittee on conference.
The resolution of Mr. Miller, submitted yes
terday. was agreed to, directing the Commit
tee on Indian Affairs to extend its inquiries
to the investigation recently ordered into the
condition of Indians of California.
A resolution offered by Mr. Sewell was
agreed to authorizing the Committee on Fish
and Fisheries to sit during the recess of Con
gress.
On motion of Mr. Blair the bill to grant a
pension to the widow of Commodore James
M. Watson was taken up and led to consider
able debate, hut was finally passed. The
amendment to this hill, offered yesterday by
Mr. VanWyck, to make all pensio'us to widows
sl2 tier month instead of is. was laid on the
table.
A number of other pension bills were passed,
among them the bill granting a pension to the
widow of Gen. E. O. C. Ord; also the bill in
creasing the pension of Gen. Frank P.
lilair’s widow, and one to authorize the Pres
ident to appoint Gen. W. W. Averill to the
position of Colonel in the armv, and then
place him on the retired list as ol that rank.
At 5:25 o’clock the Senate went into ex
ecutive session, and when at 6:20 o’clock the
doors were reopened took a recess until 9
o’clock this evening.
The Senate again met at 9 o’clock. Messages
were received from the House of Representa
tives announcing the concurrence of that
body in the conference reports on the river
■tnd liarlior bills, the bill to punish violators
of the internal revenue laws, the bill amend
ing the seventy-second article of war, and
the bill to consolidate the Bureau of Military
Justice and the Corps of Judge Advocates of
the navy.
The Senate agreed to the reports of its own
conferees on these hilts.
POSTAL TELKGRAPHS DISCUSSED.
Consideration of the postal telegraph bill
was then proceeded with. It authorizes the
Postmaster General to contract for a postal
telegraph service, aud provides that if rates
be not satisfactory the “government may buv
or build lines and do the work itself.” ft
fixes the rates at which the contractors or the
government shall do the work.
Mr. Hill addressed the Senate on the bill.
The provisions of the bill as they stood were,
in his opinion, entirely constitutional, and
the clauses authorizing the government to
buy or build liues were to protect the people
from exorbitant rates.
Mr. Maxey said that a majority of the
Senate Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads were opposed to the proposition that
IHe government should buy or build lines.
There was no constitutional objection, he said,
to the government contracting for the trans
mission of intelligence by telegraph any more
than by mail, but that was as far as the com
mittee had wished to go. He moved to strike
out the clauses authorizing building or buy
ing.
Pending that motion Mr. Sherman moved
to postpone further consideration of the bill
till the second Monday in December, saying
that it was impossible to sufficiently discuss
such an important measure in the closing
hours of the session.
The motion was agreed to and the bill went
over accordingly.
On motion of Mr. Frye the bill was passed
to establish a bureau of navigation iu the
Treasury Department under a Commissioner
of Navigation.
On motion of Mr. Bayard the bill for the
relief of Wm. McGarrahan was indefinitely
postponed.
On motion of Mr. Morrill the Senate, at 10:30
o’clock, went into executive session.
On the doors being reopened, at 10:55
o'clock, the Senate took a recess till 10 o’clock
to-morrow morning.
IN THE HOUSE.
The House met at 10 o’clock this morning, in
continuance of Thursday’s session. The con
ference report on theb'iil to consolidate the
Bureau of Military Justice and corps of Judge
Advocates was presented by Mr. ltosecrans.
of California, and agreed to.
The House then resumed consideratiou of
the Senate amendment to the Mexican pen
sion bill, but want of a quorum was disclosed,
-and after several roll calls, the call of the
House was ordered.
Mr. Brewer, of New York, moved at 12
o'clock, that the House go into committee of
the whole for the purpose of considering that
great 6tate paper, “The Declaralion of Inde
pendence,” and that that important docu
ment be read for the infOTmiition of members
who were not absent from their post of duty.
The S|ieaker ruled that the motion was not
privileged and could not be entertained.
Roll call followed roll call in monotonous
succession or motions to adjourn and for calls
of the House until 1:30 o’clock p. m„ when
Mr. Randal! presented the conference report
on the general deficiency appropriation bill.
It announces an agreement on all the amend
ments in controversy except 23.
Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, moved that the
House recede from its disagreement to five of
the amendments in controversy appropriating
small sums for the paving of streets around
public buildings in Des Moines, Hartford,
Jersey City, St. Louis and Grand Rapids.
This was lost by 65 yeas to H 6 nays.
A similar motion in regard to the amend
ment making an appropriation to reimburse
cx-President Hayes the amount paid for the
expenses of the commission app jinted to go
to Louisiana in 1847 met with the same fate.
Thewreport was then agreed 10, and Messrs.
Randall, Burns and Calkins were reappointed
conferees.
Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, presented the con
ference report on the river aud harbor appro
priation bill, and it was agreed to. The bill
as it passed the House appropriated $12,086,-
200. As agreed to in the conference it appro
priates $13,899,700.
Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, submitted the
conference report on the bill introduced by
him limiting the time prosecutions may be in
stituted against persons charged with violat
ing the internal revenue laws, aud it was
agreed to. As agreed to the bill reduces the
time within which offenders mar be prose
cuted from five to three vears when the
penalty is imprisonment in the penitentiary,
and two ytfars in all other cases.
Filibustering against the Mexican pension
bill then continued until 4:45 o’clock, when
the House took a recess until 9 o’clock to
uight.
MEXICAN PENSIONS.
At the evening session the House resumed
consideration of the Mexican pension bill,
and in view of the strong opposition to the
measure, both on the part of those who
thought that granting a service pension was
•not advisable and of those who were opposed
to the restrictions laid upon it by the Senate,
Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, who had charge
of the bill, proposed that the Senate amend
ments be non-concurred in and a conference
ordered.
Mr. Hewitt, of Alabama, objected.
Mr. Shelley, of Alabama, suggested that the
bill be laid aside and the House proceed to
consideration of private pension bills, and
Mr. Calkins asked Mr. Townshend to comply
with that suggestion, at the same time com
plimenting him on the gallant fight lie had
made for the Mexican pension bill.
MF. Townshend, however, refused to accede
to the request, and the question recurred on
ordering the previous question on concurring
in the sixth amendment of the Senate, which
limits the provisions of the bill to officers, en
listed men and widows who may become 62
vears of age, or have or may become subject
to any disability or dependence equivalent to
some cause recognized by the pension laws
as a sufficient reason for the allowance of a
pension, and excludes from its benefits such
persons as have incurred disability while
aiding or aliening rebellion. This is the
question which has been pending the whole
day, aud on which no quoruih had voted at
any time. It was not more successful to
night. and on a yea and nay vote the House
was left without a quorum.
THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL.
Mr. Holman submitted the conference re
port on the legislative, judicial and executive
appropriation bill. Of the 283 amendments
placed on the bill by the Senate,
the conference committee have reached
an agreement on all except 26. These
26 may be divided into four classes.
The first class increases the appropriations
for the contingent fund of the Senate from
$ 0,000 to $31,000, and strikes ont the pro
hibition that any paTt of this sum be used for
tlie payment of clerks to Senators.
The second class prohibits the printing in
the Conoremional Record ol any speech not
delivered in the Senate or House.
The third class increases by $100,600 the ap
propriation for the salaries of Collectors and
Deputy Collectors of Internal Revenue, and by
$136,000 the appropriation for salaries and ex
penses of agents aud gaugers, and strikes out
the provision reducing the number of inter
nal revenue and customs districts, and also
the provision exempting small distilleries

Mr. Hancock, of Texas, moved concurrence
in the first class of amendments in dispute
having relation to the Senate contingent
ffind. and the removal of the prohibition on
this fund. While he did not believe in the
principle of paying Senators’clerks oat of the
public money, he supposed that the Senators
regarded the emploj meat of clerks as requi
site to the proper transaction of public busi
ness and he did not think the House should
inter ere with the disbursement of the Sen
ate contingent fund.

CHANGES ON THE COAST. -
The Geodetic Survey Fata a Flea in the
Ear of the Mariners.
Washington, July 4.— The United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey has
issued the following notice of important
changes at and near Cape Henlopen: The
first beacon lighthouse at Cape Henlopen,
owing to the inroads of the sea, now stands
about 25 yards outside of the high-water
line, and is consequently in imminent
danger of beinjj washed away. Mariners
should bear this in mind, and should they
at any time, in coming in, be able to see
the range of the beacon with the cape
light or breakwater light, they should not
attempt to enter unless they have a good
pilot, or they should at least keep to the
northward of the breakwater range.
It is intended by the United States en
gineers to immediately begin the filling
in of the channel between the eastern end
of the ice breaker and the western ex
tremity of the breakwater by sinking a
mattress of brush and brandies prepara
tory to entirely closing the opening by a
continuous wall of stone. Mariners must
beware of using this passage hereafter as
it will of necessity become more shallow
day by day, and an attempt to pass
through would be dangerous.
A life saving station has lately been
built about twenty-five yards back of the
beach and about five hundred yards to
the eastward of the railroad wliarl at
Lewes.
THE DIPLOMATIC BILL.

ment. They also requested that they be
allowed until to-morrow morning to make
their report. The reduction, as compared
with the Senate bill, including the Nica
raguan project, amounts to about $600,000.

sion there have been introduced in tbe
House and referred to the Committee on
Public Buildings 119 bills, aggregating
iu appropriations $17,868,500. Of this
number 43 have been reported to tbe
House with a favorable recommendation.
Nineteen of the 48 have been favorably
reported by committee in previous
Congresses, aggregating an appropria
tion of $1,917,000. Eighteen, 8

sion, have not been heretofore reported to

Five Appropriation Bills StJU on the
Tapis.
AVashington, July 4. —The conferees
on the fortifications bill reached an agree
ment to-night and the bill will be reported
and passed early to-morrow. Five of the
annual appropriation bills remain to be
disposed of, as follows: Naval, consular
and diplomatic, sundry civil, deficiency
and legislative. These have passed both
bouses, and considerable progress has
been made in conference on all of them.
It is believed by the members of the Ap
propriations Committee that no difficulty
will be experienced in reaching an agree
ment on all but the naval bill to-morrow
night. It remains probable that this bill
will fail and the appropriations of laßt
year be continued till next session.
FIRE CRACKERS AND FUN.
HOW THE NATION ENJOYED ITS
ANNUAL OUTING.
Patriotic Cities and Town* in Georgia
and Florida Keeping Up with the Pro
cession—Old Flavins Stampedes a
Monster Procession at Toronto with
Torrents of Rain.
Macon, Ga., July 4. —The Fourth has
been a red letter day in Macon. Excur
sion trains brought great crowds of visi
tors to the city. All business was sus
pended throughout the city in order that
the people might attend the grand holi
day entertainment at the park for tbe
benefit of the Public Library. Nearly
ten thousand people congregated on the
sward to witness the long programme of
various sports. The weather was fine
until 4:30 o’clock this afternoon,
when rain commenced to fall, but the fun
continued and every one remained until
the end. The walking match, a six hours
go-as-you-please, commenced at 10o’clock,
twenty-eight pedestrains embracing the
entries.
The pedestrians came from various
parts of Georgia. Mooncrief, of Bibb
county, a regular countryman, won the
first prize of SIOO, making 35*4 miles.
Harris, of Macon, won the second prize,
SSO. covering 34 miles. Ford, of Macon,
took the third prize, a gold medal, having
covered 33miles. Ford won the first
prize in the first match between Macon
and Atlanta recently, and walked in the
6econ<l match at Atlanta, when his arrest
was threatened by a woman claiming to
be his second wife. Bosset, of Macon,
was a good fourth, being only a few yards
behind Ford.
The remaining walkers made under
thirty miles, running all among the twen
ties.
A BRIDGE GIVES WAY.
During tbe last hour of the walking
match a bridge built over the track to
allow spectators to cross became packed
with people, no one being able to move.
Suddenly the platform of the bridge gave
way with a terrible crash, precipitating
the large crowd of men, women and chil
dren to the ground, falling nearly twenty
feet. All fell huddled together in one
struggling mass of humanity. AYoinen
shrieked, children cried, and great com
motion followed. No one was killed,
but several received severe bruises
and hurts. A little boy was seriously in
jured in the ride. Had the fall been
further someone would have been killed.
Fortunately no walker was passing under
the bridge when it fell.
CHE BICYCLE RACE.
The five mile bicycle race was very fine
and exciting. The entries rode around
the half mile track. The contestants
were numerous and all were attired in
pretty costumes. T. L. Ingram, of Colum
bus, won the first prize of SSO. His time
was 21 minutes 26 seconds. Abbott
Thomas, of Savannah, took the eecond
prize, a gold medal, and John Polhill, of
31 aeon, captured the third prize, a silver
cup.
A serious accident also happened dur
ing this race. Afadison Jones, a well
known citizen, attempted to cross the
track while the bicyclists were riding.
He had just got his head under the rope
when Polhill rode rapidly by, and Polhill
not seeing Jones the wheel of his bicycle
struck Jones a fearful blow in the neck,
knocking him down and hurting him
badly. Polhill was thrown fifteen feet
and considerably bruised, but remounted
his bicycle and won the third prize.
John Little, of Alacon, won the first
prize, a silver tilting pitcher, in the single
mile dash bicycle race. liis time was 4
minutes seconds.
OTHER SPORTS.
A beautiful foot race of two hundred
yards, between two selected runners, each
of Macon fire companies. Dinkier,of No. 3,
won the first prize, a gold medal, in 21J4
seconds; Julian and Aliller, of No. 5, were
second and third.
The firemen’s reel race, 100 yards, lay
100 feet of hose, make connections and
throw water, between No. 5 and No. 2,
was won by No. 5 in 35J<£ seconds. No.

mile dash, jump ten hurdles and two
ropes V/Z feet high, was won by Willie
Boler. The prize was a silver pitcher and
water cup. Charlie Juhan won the sec
ond prize, a silver goblet. The race was
exciting, and there were numerous en
tries. Several runners fell over the hur
dles. '*
There were various other sports, viz.:
Mule, steer, sack and wheelbarrow races,
all of which were highly enjoyed. Despite
the fact that the Ocmulgee river was very
high the tub race occurred amid much
merriment. Several were overturned.
Lamberton won the first prize, a fine rock
ing chair. Hickman took the second prize,
a gold medal. The library’s receipts t*-
day above all expenses, which were large,
will be very heavy, so great was the
crowd in attendance.
ATLANTA SPENDS THE DAY AFOOT.
Atlanta, July 4.—The annual Fourth
of July celebration was observed here to
day by a serips of foot races and other
athletic sports. At the walking rink a
programme of unusual interest was pre
sented to please. A large number of
strangers were in the city, who came
here from neighboring towns and cities
in search of a day’s amusement. The
programme consisted of a newsboys’ race,
lasting one hour, reporters’ heel-and-toe
contest for ten miles, a six hours’ go-as
you-please race, a sack race, and similar
sports. In the newsboys’ race Charlie
Boyle was the winner, making 8 5-14
miles in an hour’s run. There were
twelve starters, and the contest was an
exciting one from string to string.
The ten miles heel-and-toe race for re
porters brought out Joe Carter, R. M.
Cheshire, Sam Small and Smith Clayton.
The race was won by Carte in 1 hour
and 49 minutes, with Cheshire second,
Small third and Clayton fourth. The
men kept well together during the entire
contest, and the race was quite interest
ing.
The fat man’s race, for an
hour, no entry to weight less
than 226 pounds, was won by Patton,
a Fulton county farmer’
The most exciting contest of the day,
and the one that ended the programme,
was the six hours’ go-as-you-please race,
in which the entries were Alfred Prater,
Charley Church, Dan’l L. Mauck, Doug
las Colemar, John L. Ozborne, Z. Ma
hoffer, John Robinson and J. H. Poston.

tire distance was made ia a run. Prater
covered 36 miles and 4 laps, Church 35
miles and 5 laps, Mauk 34 miles and 3
laps, Coleman 34 miles and 2 laps, Ozborne
26 mite* and 6 laps, Mahoffer 20 miles and
1 lap, Uoiimson 14 miles and 5 laps, Pos
ton 18 milePand 3 laps.
Robinson and Poston got sick when the
contest was half through and retired. In
winding up Church put on a spurt and
tried to cut down Prates’ record, but
failed. The prizes in these contests ranged
from S2OO to $25. The attendance was.
good and the gate receipts consequently
satisfactory. A noticeable feature of the
last foot race was the appearance of Mrs.
Coleman in the walking tent paying her
husband every attention, and urging him
ou to victory or defeat.

AVaycross, Ga., July 4. —The glorious

CELEBRATING THE DAY AT TORONTO.
Toronto, July 4.—To-day was set
apart for a parade of the civic societies,
and everything being ready, the proces
sion started down Y'onge street, with ban
ners firing and bands playing, making a
magnificent spectacle. The sky had for
some time looked threatening, and the
procession had proceeded but a short dis
tance when the rain fell in torrents, and a
general stampede took place. Rain con
tinued to fall, and it was decided to give
up the idea of carrying on the procession,
but endeavors will be made to have it to
morrow. The streets were crowded with
people, who, notwithstanding the rain,
kept their place for a few hours, in expec
tation of seeing the procession.
PROFESSIONALS AT THE OARS.
Jacob Gaudauer Gives Evidence that
He Can Give Ifanlan all He Want*.
Boston, July 4.— The weather and
water were all that could be desired for
the rowing regatta on the Charles river
to-day. The first race was for professional
scullers, over a three-mile course, with a
turn, for a purse of $425, divided, the
starters being Jacob Gaudauer of St.
Louis, Albert Hamm and John McKay of
Halifax, and George H. Hosmer and P. J.
Aiclnerney of Boston. A good start was
effected, Gaudauer being first to pull out
of the bunch, rowing 30 strokes to the
minute for the first eighth of a mile,
obtaining a clear lead, and it became
evident that the others were no match for
him, although Hamm and McKay were
pursuing him sharply. Gaudauer made
an easy turn at the upper stake and
finished a winner in 21 minutes and 50
seconds. On the homestretch Hamm
crossed McKay’s bow in such an unfair
manner that he was ruled out of the race.
Hosmer, who was not in condition,
abandoned the race before reaching the
upper turn. McKay’s time was 22
minutes 20 seconds, and Aiclnerney’s
time 23 minutes.
In the race for single scull working boats,
three miles, purse $125, divided, the con
testants were Tdoinas Roast, Nicholas
I.ayberger, Jacob Gaudauer, Jeremiah
Casey and Sylvester Gookin. Gaudauer
soon won the lead from Gookin, and by
splendid rowing obtained such an advan
tage that he was able thereafter to row at
his own pace,winning easily in 22 minutes
and 20 seconds, Gookin came in second in
22 minutes and 30 seconds, and Casey
third in 22 minutes and 41 seconds. The
time of the others was not taken.
The general style of Gaudauer’s rowing
drew many expressions of admiration
from the spectators, and Hosmer declared
that in Gaudauer Uanlan would find a
most formidable rival.
The two-mile race for amateur scullers
for the City of Boston cup, valued at SIOO,
with six starters,. was won by John I.
Murphy in 16 minutes and 7 seconds.
TEN EYCK A WINNER.
New' York, July 4.—At Oak Point to-day

lowed. with the Coluinbias and Potomacs,
ot Washington, and the Elizabeths, ol

mile the race was a dead beat when tbe
Columbias made a superb spurt, crossing
tbe line only a fraction ahead of the Eliza
betlis, the Potomacs following half a
length behind. The Elizabeths’ friends
claimed a dead heat, but the judges de
cided in favor of the Columbias. The
time was 7:25.

cup for the second prize. The race was
rowed in four-oared gigs and was between

and a half straight away. At the start a
terrific thunder and rain storm began,
and the boats could not be distinguished
at a quarter of a mile away,
but when sighted the Norfolks were
considerably in the lead and came in
absut 125 yards ahead of the Cockades,
Appomattox following 25 yards lurther
oft'. The time was 10:30.

Prance and China.
London, July 4.—The Times, in refer
ring to the trouble between France and
China, says that the complications where
with the contest between China and
France threaten the trade of {America,
England and Germany, will be of the most
serious character, be difficult to
prevent American an™ European adven
turers from engaging in strife and thus
raising delicate international questions.
We most earnestly hope that Pekin will
again bow to the inevitable and yield this
time with reserve.
When we consider the little attention
which is paid to the laws of health, we
cannot be surprised at the indifference ‘
manifested in relation to the purity of the

THEIEADERSIXTHE RACE
CLEVELAND THOUGHT TO BE
FIRST IN MASSACHUSETTS.
No Hope for Batler In Muiuhuietti-
Cleveland's Chance* in Kentucky and
Missouri—A Buffalo Editor's Talk
About Blaine.
Ex-Mayor Frederick O. Prince, of Bos
ton, Secretary of the Democratic National
Committee, just before leaving for Chicago
in an interview said:
“Well, things are somewhat mixed.
Mr. Butler has sixteen ot the twenty
eight delegates from Alassachusetts in his
favor and he mav receive a complimentary
vote for the nomination, but further than
that he has not a ghost of a chance. Be
fore receiving even that recognition from
his State delegation, he ought to be asked
if he will pledge himself to work for the
nominee of the convention, and if he
refuses, then he ought not to receive even
a complimentary vote. If he says that
he will, then what becomes of his own
candidacy as the nominee of the Green
back Labor party ? He will try to carry
things at Chicago with a hurrah and
noise, as he did at Worcester, hut it won’t
do at Chicago, and the Western men will
sit down upon him.”
Being asked whom the Alassachusetts
Democrats preferred, he said:
“Cleveland first, I think, but thev will
support Bayard, or Hoadlv, or McDon
ald, or Thurman, or Field, b'ut they won’t
support Butler. The anti-Blaine element
is very strong there, and there is a very
profound feeling that if the Republican
party is beaten in this contest it will
never rise again, but that a tffiw party
will be formed.”
“Who do you think will be the nomi
nee?”
“I think the selection is practically
narrowed down to Cleveland and Bayard.”
“And of these which is vonr choice?”
“Individually, I favor Bayard, but think
Cleveland the most available. The only
thing against his nomination is the oppo
sition of Tammany Hall iu this State, and
I don’t think that will amount to any
thing more than an opposition to tbe nom
ination. I think that Tammany will sup
port the nominee. I remember how stren
uously Mr. Kelly opposed the nomination
of Air. Tilden at St. Louis, but after lie
was nominated he said that he should
give him a hearty support, and ho kept
his wortfT”
“Will the question of the tariff be made
a prominent issue in tbe next, campaign?”
“No, but it ought to; the fact is, the
Democratic party has been out of power
so long that it has become cowed; it lias
not the courage of its convictions; it needs
bold and aggressive leaders, such as it
used to have. It should be bold ana out
spoken on the tariff issue and m ike a
square fight on it. I do not, however, ex
pect anything more than a few glittering
generalities on that subject.”
“How is Alassachusetts going to go in
this next election?’’ •
“Unless the Democrats make some mis
take, and 1 don’t well see how they can,
Alassachusetts will as certainlv go Dem
ocratic as that the sun will rise to-mor
row. I have been profoundly impressed
for some years past tha* Massachusetts
was becoming more and more Demo
cratic. It is a manufacturing State, and
its population is largely of the laboring
classes—poor men and men of moderate
means, who are naturally Democrats—
but we have been haqdicapped by the
fact that there is a property qualification
there which has deprived the Democratic
party of many votes which otherwise they
would have had.”
STRIKING AT BUTLER.
Delegate* Ought to IHedge Themselves
to Support the Nominee.
The only notable arrivals at Chicago,
says a special, up to 0 o’clock Wednesday
evening were Gen. A. S. Bragg, of AVis
consin, and Jay Hubbell, of Alichigan.
The latter does not expect to be consulted
as to the convention’s work, but he was
free to declare as a Republican that he
believed Ben Butler would poll a larger
Democratic vote than any other man in
the field. Gen. Bragg states that AViscon
sin is solid for Tilden, and, if lie will not
accept, Jhe delegation would like to sup
port Cleveland, provided the New Y ork
delegation determines to vote for him.
Cfficago is growing verv dismal over the
tardy arrival of delegates. Six days be
fore the Republican Convention the caul
dron was bubbling and sputtering at a
great rate, and half the States in the
Union were represented here. To-day,
on the contrary, the delegates in the city
did not number five, and of managers and
advance agents there were less than ten
on the ground. The impression is gain
ing ground that the whole business of the
convention is being arranged at New
York and AVashington, so that the con
vention itself will be little more than a
ratification meeting.
Col. Bright, ex-Sergeant-at-Arms of the
Senate, who is to serve in that capacity at
the convention, has drawn up a set of
terse rules or instructions. They read as
follows: “Admit no man without a
ticket. Be polite but firm in refusal.
Be courteous and dispassionate to every
body, and if you open your mouths to
shout, ypll or in other imaginable manner
boom a candidate you will be kicked out
without fear or favor.”
The attitude of Ben Butler is a very
popular subject of conversation. It Is
suggested by the friends of some of the
other candidates that a resolution should
be introduced at the outset pledging deW
gates to support the nominee, and requir
ing that any delegate, in order to qualify
himself to assist in the choice of a candi
date for the Democratic party, should
agree that when that candidate is chosen,
he (the delegate) will renounce ail claims
upon the franchises of the people which
might in any manner militate against the
success of the party. In fact, such a res
olution has already been drawn up.
BUTLER AND LAMAR.
A New Variation of the Old Joke.
Whatever else may be said of the move
ment in favor of Butler as a Presidential
candidate, says the Chicago Times, it is
never idle, and the chief manager, Mr. N.
A. Plympton, is as busy a man as there is
in Chicago. “We have got anew combi
nation,” he said.
“What is it?”
“Butler and Lamar. Benjamin Butler,
of Massachusetts, for President, and L.
<i- C. Lamar, ot Mississippi, for Vice Pres
ident. Just think of it, and what a power
ful ticket it would be. No combination
could equal it for catching titles. ‘The
blue and the gray,’ for instance.”
“ ‘The Federalist and the Confederate,’ ”
suggested the reporter.
“Yes. ‘The North and the South.’ ”
“ ‘Massachusetts and Mississippi.’ ”
“ ‘Reform and reconciliation’ ”
“ ‘Brass bands and enthusiasm.’ ”
“I tell you,” said Mr. Plympton, “it
would be a terribly strong' ticket and
would sweep the country. There is no
use to try to sneer down Butler’s strength;
he has it, and Lamar is a man whom all
the country respects, both for his ability
and his honesty. He was on the wrong
side of the ‘late unpleasantness, but But
ler was on the other, and a ticket like
that would not only be successful, but it
would forever heal up all the sectional
bitterness that now exists. It would
recognize the South as a part of the Union
and would be worth a million editorials
about ‘shaking hands over the bloody
chasm’ Butler and Lamar! It would be
a great ticket.”
THE COST OF FIREWORKS.
What Patriots Pay Tor Their Boomers
and Fizzlerg.
“That appears to be the first campaign
yarn of the season,” said a leading Boston
dealer in response to the Bulletin's in
quiry as to the truth of the report that ni
trate of strontia was being cornered in
anticipation of an unusual demand this
fall.
“The price continues at thirteen to
thirteen and a fourth cents per pound in
kegs, and we see no probability of an
immediate advance.”
The general belief is that there is a
much larger stock in first hands than
usual. In 1880 the unusual demands of
the Presidential campaign caused a scarc
ity in nitrate of strontia, which gives the
color to red fire, and as high as thirty
cents per pound was realized. The policy
of most dealers in fireworks has been to
buy strontia iu a hand-to-mouth way this
year, in the belief that manufacturers
would carry a large stock of that article
Bayard’s Boomers from Home.
Wilmington, Del., July 4.—The train
bearing the Delaware delegation who go
to Chicago to work for Bayard’s nomina
tion moved out of the depot here at 11:30
o’clock to-night amid fireworks and
cheers. The Delawareans occupied two
cars whose sides bore the words “Bay
ard for President.” The party numbered
about 100.

the German Cholera Committee and head
of the Cholera Commission, who has
offered his services to the French Govern
ment to ascertain the character of the
epidemic, has arrived. Dr, Borel, navy
physician, died to-day from cholera.
It is thought that the disease has now
reached its highest point. It will prob
ably continue with lessened effect during
the hot weather. There were seven
deaths here to-day.

The Bertholdi Statue Formally Pre
sented.
Paris, July 4.—The formal presenta
tion ot the Bartholdi statue of “Liberty
Enlightening the World’’ by the French
Government to the United States took
place in the Gauthier workshop to-day.
L. P. Morton, United States Minister to
France, was present and received the
statue in the name of his government.
Prime Minister Ferry sent a letter stat
ing that he regretted that illness pre
vented him from assisting at the scene of
fraternity between the two;great republics.
In heart and soul he would participate.
M. de Lesseps made a speech,
lie said that France under all
governments had always been the
friend and ally of America. America now
realized that the Panama canal was a
work of universal interest. The statue
would forever pledge bonds of unity be
tween France and the great American
people.
Minister Morton in replying thanked
France in fhe'name of President Arthur
and the people of the United States. He
said that he was charged to assure M.
de Lesseps, M. Ferry and the French na
tion that the American people responded
with all their hearts to the sentiments of
friendship. The noble gift which that
friendship had dictated would render the
gratitude of the American people still
more profound and stronger. He hoped
that the statue would remain for all time
an emblem of the imperishable sympathy
uniting both countries.
Spain’s Foreign Policy.
Madrid, July 4.—The budgets of Cuba
and Porto Rico have been reduced $2,-

St. Louis, July 4.—A special from
Moberly, Mo„ says: -The list of drowned
and seriously injured in the Grand river
bridge catastrophe is increasing as the
work of clearing away the wreck pro
gresses. It is now estimated that twelve
rneu were drowned and as rnanv more
fatally injured. The following list of
names of the drowned and injured was
received here this morning: John Lon*
drowned: Robert Baker, fatallv injured’
James 'Voting, shoulder crusted- Piatt
Young, leg broken; Fred. Young,
drowned, body recovered yesterday-
A. Fisher, drowned; 1). Ilayl

West, hips and back badly cut; James
Bruce, temple crushed: J. B. Bronson
leg broken and internally hurt: John a’
Dillon, drowned; George Brown, thigh

Hogan, hack and hips hurt; Arch Hill
badly bruised; J. P. Mapwell, of Sumner’
wrist sprained and badly bruised about
hips aud back: A. C. Short, ot Sumner,
rib broken and internally injured.
The bodies of Abraham Well, of Cun
niugham, and John Long, of Sumner, have
not I teen recovered.
Three unidentified bodies have been re
covered by divers.
The jtortion ol the bridge which gave
way represents tbe centre span, and was
about 150 feet Ipng and 40 feet above wa
ter. The structure is what is called false
work.
The cause of the accident has not been
fully established. The engineer was back
ing tbe train on the bridge ami was check
ing its speed in order to cross safely, and
the whole t#iin was brought almost to a
stand-still in the centre. When extra
steam was put on the frail bridge began
to totter and soon sank under the train’s
weight.
The engineer saw that nothing could be
done to prevent tbe disaster and began
sounding the whistle, which was con
tinued until the engine struck the
water. But for this alarm not one person
on the cars would have been saved.
A NEGRESS BABY FARMER,
Inquiring Into tlio Management cf Mrs.
Ward’s Nursery.
The bodies of two little babies lay on tho
table in the parlor of Mrs. Mary Josephine
Ward’s “St. Vincent de Paul Nursery and
School for Children,” at No. 692 East One
Hundred and Sixty-fourth street, yester
day afternoon, says the New York Times
of the 3d inst. In the play-room outside
three chubby babes rolled about on the
floor and laughed and crowed us merrily
as though there was no token of death in
the house. They are all that remain of
13 little ones who have been boarded at
tho establishment, which is known ub a
“baby farm,” since Jan. 6 last. The
other 10 have all ditfl, 3 of them within
the last 36 hours.
The little forms in the parlor were those
of Mabel Louisa Baker, a colored child of
6 months, who died at 1 o’clock yesterday
morning of what Mrs. Ward thought was
convulsions, in connection with mening
gitis, and Mary Ellen McCartney, a white
baby of 2 months, who died at 2 o’clock
yesterday afternoon of what Mrs. Ward
pronounced exhaustion, due to an attack
of cholera infantum. No physician was
called to attend either of the children, as
Mrs. Ward says that she thought she
could treat them herself, although they
have been ill and constantly failing since
Saturday last. On Monday night
Josephine Cross, a Three-months’ old'
baby, hud died "without medical
attendance. Coroner Merkle and
Deputy Coroner Messemer viewed the
bodies of the two babies yesterday, and
an autopsy will lie held at the morgue
this afternoon. Dr. Messemer said to a
reporter last evening: “Mrs. Ward’s
bouse, so far as 1 can discover, and i
have made a searching investigation, is
not a -lahy farm’ in the bad sense ol that
term. 1 never saw an institution of tbe
kind more cleanly, and the living child
ren are as healthy as such children can be
expected to be. Tbe only trouble with
the woman seems to he that she has
neglected to call in physicians when the
babies were sick, and they have died on
her hands. This was the case with these
last three only. Dr. H. 11. Dodin certified
to the deaths of five, and Dr. J. Milton
Wiiliamsto those ot two of the other seven
who have died.”
