ADVANCE W AGES.
Promissory Notes to be the Loop-Hole
of Escape from the New Laws.
Washington, July 26.—The Acting
Secretary of the Treasury to-day received
a telegram from Jarvi9 Patten, the new
Commissioner of Navigation, saying that
he was detained in New York consulting
with ship ow ners, but would be in Wash
ington Monday. Capt. Alexander, Super
intendent of the Sailors’ Home in New
York, had a conference to-day with Act
ing Secretary Coon, and Mr. Lyman, Chief
of the former Bureau of Navigation in re
gard to the operations of the Dingley
shipping bill. The department is con
stantly in receipt of inquiries
in regard to the effect ot
that provision ol the bill prohibiting
the payment ol advance wages to sea
men. The suggestion on this subject
which seems to meet with the favor of the
department as the best way out of the
present difficulty, is that seamen be al
lowed to give a’ promissory note for the
amount of their indebtedness, to be guar
anteed by the Shipping Commissioner,
and the amount deductod from his wages
when due. It is thought that this might
be done without violation of the law. No
action will be taken on the question,
however, until it has been considered and
reported upon by the Commissioaer of
Navigation.
LUMPY JAW.
A Young Woman In Illinois AHlicted
with a Terrible Disease.
Chicago, July 26.—The surgeons at
the County Hospital have under treat
ment Mrs. Murphy, 27 years of age, who
is suffering from a horrible disease which
afllicts cattle, and is known as “lumpy
jaw.” It is in the form of an abscess on
her jaw, and was at first supposed to be
an ordinary abscess, but.a microscopical
examination proves the contrary.
The abscess was found to
contain vegetable parasites identical with
those found on the abscesses of cattle. It
is supposed to have been caused by eating
the meat of cattle having the disease. An
operation will be performed on Tuesday
next. The case excites some interest, as
it is the first one reported in the United
States, though similar cases have been al
ready recorded in Germany.
The Campaign in Florida.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 26.— Twelve
or fifteen colored Baptist preachers of
this and adjoining counties to-day formed
an association called the Second Con
gressional Political Christian Organiza
tion. They claim that Bisbee has not
given positions to the negroes propor
tioned to their claims and numbers, and
i assert tbeir intention to support a Re
i publican who will give such recognition.
Last night at a reception to the dele-
gates at the Tallahassee Convention Bis
bee said that the Republicans would give
Tope 98 of each 100 votes. Accepting
these figures and analyzing the vote four
years ago, with the probable vote this
vear, the Independent strength in the
State will be 540. Bisbee lauded Tope
extravagantly, declaring that he had
fulfilled all the pledges made to the Re
publican party, and that the Indepen
dents represented the honest portion of
the Democrats. The white Republicans
are dejected over the coalition and the
negroes jubilant.
Hon. R. A. Brinson’s House Burned.
Millen, Ga„ July 26.—The residence
of Hon. R. A. Brinson, about three miles
from here, was totally destroyed by fire
about noon to-day. Mr. Brinsoir is a can
didate for re-election to the lower House
of the General Assembly. The primary
election takes place on Tuesday next. He
has the sympathy of his many warm sup
porters in Scriven county.
A Lynching at Blalvly.
Albany, Oa., July 26.—Yesterday af

he was hanged and his body riddled'with
bullets. He confessed to various crimes.

Storms In tlie West.
Cincinnati, July 26.—Rains are re
ported to have pyevailed throughout

Yellow Fever Victims.
St. Louis, July 20.—The steamer Annie
P. Silver, referred to in a dispatch from
Washington, arrived here Thursday morn
ing, and her Captain, A. W. Bryant, was
greatly surprised on being informed of
the contents of Surgeon General Hamil
ton’s dispatches and instructions to the
Surgeon of the Marine Hospital here.
Capt. Bryant states that just before leav-
ing New Orleans on July It} a family, con
sisting of a man, wife and four
children, evidently in indigent circum
stances, came on board and engaged
deck passage to St. Louis. The youngest
child, a baby six months old, was quite
sick with ordinary summer complaint,
and when the boat was opposite Green
ville, Miss., it died. The carpenter of the
boat made a pine coffin in which the re
mains were deposited, and at the next
landing place, Port Anderson, they were
buried in the presence of most of the pas
sengers and crew. No one for a moment
supposed that the disease was anything
lint oommnn xinmm-r complaint, nml
the circumstance was soon forgotten.
Cholera was not thought of.
On the arrival of the steamer here the
remainder of the family left the boat in
good health, but where they went the
Captain does not know. The man had
stated through an intepreter that he was
a Spaniard from Oporto, and that he sailed
from the latter place to Vera Cruz,
Mexico, where he kept a saloon two
months. He then went to New Orleans,
and from there he concluded to come to
St. Louis. He could not speak French,
and Capt. Bryant does not believe that he
at any time came from Toulon. Up to a
late hour last night the Surgeon of the
Alarine Hospital had not been seen, and
nothing therefore is known as to what,
if any, action he has taken in the case.
NOT CHOLERA AT ALL.
St. Louis, July 20, 10 p. m.—Additional
developments regarding the alleged chole
ra, reported as coming to this city on the
steamer Annie I*. Silver, are that the
family is domiciled at the female hospital
here, with the exception of the husband,
who is boarding at a house on the levee.
The statement that cholera bad attacked
the family is entirely without foundation.
The suspected persons are Italians
named Picollotto. The family consisted of
the man, wife and two children. They
came originally from Lombardy, Italy.
Several years ago they emigrated to Mex
ico, where they lived, according to the
man’s statement, at least three years.
Thence they moved to Louisiana, where
they resided another year. The report
was that Picollotto came direct from
Toulon to St. Louis, but he states posi
tively that he never was in Toulon m his
lite, aud never anywhere else where
there was an epide'mic. He says that
the only trouble with his’ wife
is milk sickness, caused by
losing her child. The child that died on
the river had the summer complaint and
nothing else. Deputy Health Commis
sioner Francis visited Mrs. Picollotto and
her child at the female hospital this morn
ing, where she told substantially the same
story as that of Picollotto. The health
authorities have placed her in a hospital
where there are 200 patients, showing
conclusively that they do not believe the
story of cholera. The only reason for
placing them In the hospital is that the
woman is slightly unwell, the family out
of money, arid they have nowhere else to
stay. The man was known on the boat
by the name of Piolla, but whether that
was his right name has not been ascer
tained.
MARSEILLES’ MEAT SUPPLY POOR.
Marseilles, July 26.—The city is
threatened with a meat famine, owing to
the fact that many ot the butchers have
shut up shop and others find it difficult
to procure supplies.
There were 7 deaths here between
9 o’clock this morning and noon.
Cholera has appeared at Spezzia, Italy.
It was carried there by an Italian work
man from the arsenal at Toulon. There
have been 2 fatal cases already, and
the inhabitants are in a state of panic.
The fugitives from here are beginning
to return. The municipal authorities
have thanked the Sisters of Mercy for
their devotion and zeal in assisting the
cholera sufferers.
During the 24 hours ended at 9:30
o’clock there were 58 deaths here from
cholera.
Toulon, July 26.— There were 2
deaths frorii cholera to-day in the city and
2 in the suburbs. The total number of
deaths here from cholera were 593. The
exodus from the city has decreased the
population by a third.
THE FLIGHT FROM TOULON.
Paris, July 26.—The flight of people
from Toulon 'still continues. It is an
nounced that all the workmen at the
arsenal there who absent themselves for
two weekff will be dismissed. A cholera
patient in the hospital there committed
suicide to-day by plunging a knife into
bis heart.
Mgr. Rende, the Papal Nuncio at Paris,
has applied to*-the Italian Ambassador
here for a pass across the frontier without
being subjected to quarantine regulations,
but his request was refused. The Mayor
of Turin, who is traveling in France,
made a similar request, which was also
relused.
The weekly returns show a decrease of
133 in the number of deaths as com
pared with last week. None of them was
from cholera.
The epidemic at Toulon continues on
the decrease. There were 13 deaths last
night, of which 4 occurred at the hospi
tal, 6 in the suburbs and 3 in the city.
At Marseilles there were 24 deaths
last night.
THE EPIDEMIQ NOT VIRULENT.
London, July 26.—A dispatch from
Marseilles says: “It is quite certain that
the present epidemic of cholera has not
the same virulence that has characterized
jtrevious outbreaks. It appears to have
attacked sickly individuals rather than
whole sections’ of population. At ArleS
many persons have become insane through
fear. The total number of places in France
where the infection has so far appeared is
I fourteen.”
MERELY COLIC.
Liverpool, July 26.—1 t turns out that
O’Brien, of the St. Dunstan’s crew, who
was reported to have been seized with
choleraic symptoms last night, is suffering
from simple colic, which is yery prevalent
in Liverpool.
a health conference.
Washington, July 26.—Smith Town
send, Health Oflicer ot the District of
Columbia, has received a letter from G.
N. McCormick, Secretary of the National
Conference of Health Boards, stating that
a meeting of that organization will be
held in Washington, Aug. 7, to take
action with regard to the threatened inva
sion of cholera. It will discuss the
cholera and yellow fever questions. Sur
geon General Hamilton, of the Marine
Hospital Service, considers it entirely
superfluous.
The French Constitution.
Paris, July 26. —1n his con
cerning the revision of the constitution
vesterdav before the Senate Prime Minis
ter Ferry created a profound sensation by
warning the Senate that unless the ques
tion of revision be settled there would be
a more serious conflict before the end of
the year.
i The Senate to-day by a vote ot 173 to 16
adopted the clause in the bill for a revision
of the constitution enabling the govern
-1 ment to introduce a bill for remodeling
the system of Senatorial elections. The
debate on article 8 was adjourned to Tues
dav to enable the Chamber of Deputies to
pass a resolution guaranteeing the integ
| rity of the government’s programme.
France's Duty on Quadrupeds.
Paris, July 26.—At a Cabinet council
! to-day M. Felix Jules Meline, Minister of
Agriculture, submitted a bill raising the
import duty on oxen to 25 francs, on bulls
i and cows to 12 francs, on pigs to 6 francs,
i on calves to 4 francs, and on sheep to 3
1 francs,
SAVANNAH, SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1881.
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
The City Wild Over Base Ball—Ham
mond Gaining Ground.
Atlanta, Ga., July 26.—The Brown
Base Ball Club, of Augusta, and the
Athletics, of Atlanta, played their second
game, which ended the series here, this
afternoon, resulting in a victory for the
Browns by a score of 13 to 3. During the
game, which lasted nine innings, the
Athletics made nine errors, and the
Browne four; the catcher of the Athletics
passed two balls and the Browns one.
Craig played first base in place of Knox,
who took third, and Reed appeared in
centre field instead of Miller, who filled
the position during the first game with
the Browns. The nine of Augusta
filled their usual positions. The
large number of errors made
by the Athletics caused Grady to tele
graph to Louisville for three more profes
sionals, and to-morrow night Kegel, Hine
man and Leightman will be here to
go into the nine. This will give
the Athletics seven professional ball
tossers to put into the diamond
next week. This action is thought to be
necessary as the Stars of Columbus will
lie here Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day fjpr the purpose of crossing bats with
the Athletics. President Gradv is de
termined to.Jmye the best ball club in the
State, regardless of cnßt.. With this
addition to the batting of toe
clut there is every. reason
to believe that Atlanta has met her last
defeat for some days to come. The
Athletics express great desire to have
the Dixies and Oglethorpes come to At
lanta within the next week or two, and
play a series of games with them.
Additional improvements have been
made at the park in the way of leveling
the ground and increasing the size of the
grand stand. This afternoon’s game,
although played in the face of a threaten
ing sky and under a canopy of heavy
clouds, was witnessed by 1,200 people.
The audience was made fashionable
by a large attendance of ladies.
Savannah’s policy of 25 cents admission,
with ladies free, has been adopted anil
found to be quite popular. The Browns
returned to Augusta to-night, expressing
themselves as highly pleased with the
manner in which they had been treated
while here.
HAMMOND BOOMiNG.
Hammond Congressional stock is on the
boom. The primaries held to-day in
Rockdale and Spalding counties elected
delegates favorable to Hammond’s return
to Congress. This gives Jackson and
Hammond 4 votes each. Mynott has
concluded to withdrew from the
Congressional turf, and to-morrow will
publish his withdrawal from the
contest. Hammond’s chances in Fulton
county are brightening daily, and his
friends now claim Fulton by 600 major
ity. Whether the count on July 30

COMMERCIAL SHIPWRECKS.
The First 15 Fer Cent. Dividend Paid
the Marine Bank’s Depositors.
Minneapolis, July 26.—J. H. Kerrick
& Cos., machinery and iron and wood
work dealers, made an assignment to-day
to H. S. f‘ell, who filed a bond for SIOO,OOO
and took possession. Mr. Kerrick went
through bankruptcy in Indianapolis last
year, and the law was enforced, when he
came here and did a heavy business until
the late stringency. The failure is owing
to the difficulty in collecting notes for
sold goods.
A MARINE BANK DIVIDEND.
New York, July 26.—Receiver John
ston, of the Marine Rank, to-day began
payment of the 15 per cent, dividend re
cently declared by the Comptroller of the
Currency. Up to 1:30 o’clock 300 deposi
tors had been paid upwards of $400,000.
Tne total amount of the dividend will be
about $600,000, and it was hoped that at
least 60 or 75 per cent, of deposits would
finally be paid. As the amount on deposit
was originally about $4,000,000, this would
make the sum paid to depositors about
$3,000,000.
THE GREEN BANK’S AFFAIRS.
Jackson, Miss., July 26.—A meeting of
the creditors of Green’s Rank, represent
ing 75 per cent, of the liabilities, was held
here to-day. Receiver Powers presented
a detailed statement, showing assets of
$620,000 and liabilities of $455,255, ail
excess of assets over liabilities oi $164,745,
which are considered first-c.ass. In
addition to the above, there are notes
and accounts considered doubtful
amounting to $109,890. IV. 11. H. Green,
the cashier, explained various items in
the assets, expressing his opinion,
from a knowledge of the value
of the securities, etc., that nearly
all the assets can be collected,
certainly a large amount thereof in excess
of the liabilities. He believes that the
whole matter can be liquidated in eighteen
months, one-third payable every six
months. A resolution was adopted ap
pointing a committee of five to investi
gate the affairs of the bank, with a view
to the recommendation of such action as
they may think necessary for the best in
terests of all concerned.
LIZZIE BRADLEY’S OUTRAGE.
Over Fifty Men Arrested Charged with
Complicity in the Crime.
Pittsburg, July 26. —Wholesale arrests
of parties supposed to be implicated in the
Lizzie Bradley outrage have been caused
by Chief Braine. Over fifty arrests have
been made. One gang of thirty-two labor
ers, employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Road,' was arrested before daylight
this morning. This afternoon detectives
arrested George Helton ( colored), oi West
Elizabeth, and Robert Grimes (vt-hite), of
•the same place, for participating; in the
crime. They recovered from Helton a
pair of diamond ear drops, and a diamond
necklace was recovered. All her jewelry
has now been found. The woman is bet
ter to-day. All the parties have been
committed to jail for a hearing next Fri
day.
An Officer Shot by Prisoners.
Minneapolis, July 26. —At 3 o’clock
this morning, while officer McLaughlin
was arresting Toney Canting, Mark Gor
man and James Parker for riotous pro
ceedings, they attempted to escape. The
officer and the men fired at each other,
and the former fell with a fatal wound in
the bowels. The prisoners then escaped,
but at a late hour all were arrested and
are now in jail. This is the second shoot
ing of an officer in a week, and violence is
anticipated. The prisoners belong to a
local gang which terrorized the com
munity several years ago. The rest of the
gang had previously left town.
LYNCHING threatened.
Minneapolis, July 26, 6 p. m.— lt is
reported that officer McLaughlin is dead,
and the excitement has consequently
been intensified to such a degree that the
police in force are protecting the station
house where the prisoners are conlinod.
Lynching is threatened if they are not
taken from town before night.

. Prospects that West Virgin!* will Roll
Up a Bigger Democratic Majo. rit V than
Ever.
Washington, July 26.—Hepr* tenta
tive Cassidy, of Nevada, just from a con
ference of the Democratic leaders In A ew
York, says that they all expressed act*. -1 -
fident belief that Cleveland would bt'
elected. The election turns upon New
York. Cleveland will carry it. His
chief reason for sq thinking is that the
business men like Cleveland and don't
like Blaine. “The Republicans?will find
it hard to get any more out of the business
men,” said Mr. Cassidy. “It is different
from what it was during Han
cock’s campaign. The business men
thought him hardly the man for
the place, and having plenty of money
they put it up freely to beat him. Itow
money is scarce, and there are no fears
and no issues of sufficient magnitude to
lead them to make great sacrifices.” Tile
want of funds and the absence of excit
ing issues, he thinks, will weaken the cam •
naign. “I do not believe there will be
“tiy of the enthusiasm that was expected,
and the election will go off quietly, one
way or the other.”
WEST VIRGINIA SAFE.
Leading Democrats Declare the State to
he Good for a Barge Majority.
Washington, July 20. —Senator Ken
na, Representatives Snyder and Gibson,
and ex-Senator Herford, of West Vir
ginia, passed through Washington to-day.
To a reporter each of them expressed sat
isfaction at the political outlook in West
Virginia. Senator Kenna said the ticket
nominated by the Democrats has the cor
dial support of all elements of the party
and that it will be elected by a larger
majority than usual. He added that the
conflict which arose in the convention
between the State administration
and the Wheeling Register, the
larty organ, left no sting
behind, as the nominees are acceptable to
both sides.
Representative Snyder said: “We will
beat the Republicans worse this time
than ever before.” He says that the
nominee for Governor was the choice of
the element that had been dissatisfied, and
by that concession all dissension was
healed.
Representative Gibson said: “I have
never seen so much interesSmanifested
in party affairs. The county conventions
are Jargely attended, and the State con
vention was one of the largest we ever
had. On motion of the rival candidate,
Mr. Wilson’s nomination for Gov
ernor was made unanimous, and
every trace of dissatisfaction was re
moved.” Herford joined in declaring that
harmony has been restored, and said that
he could not see whereon the Republicans
base tbeir hopes of carrying the State.
Blaine Deserted by an Old Friend.
Washington, July 26.—Albert G. Rid
die, Corporation Attorney of this city,
who has stumped Ohio for the Republican
ticket every year since 1856, and who
would have been appointed District At
torney for this district if his close friend
Garfield had lived, has declined an invi
tation from the Ohio Republican Campaign
Committee to stump Ohio for Blaine. He
donsiders Blaine a bad man and utterly
unfit for the Presidency. He was an inti
mate friend of Blaine for many years, but
broke with him after the exposure of his
railroad rascalities.
Woman .Suffrage.
Boston, July 26.—The Woman’s Jour
nal this morning publishes a statement
that the next President is sure to be
friendly to woman’s suffrage, as for the
first time in the history of the country
every party has nominated a candidate
who is favorable. The records of Messrs.
Blaine, Cleveland, Pomeroy, Butler and
St. John are cited in proof of this, and
these nominations are declared very en
couraging.
Massachusetts Democrats.
Boston, July 26.—The Democratic
State Convention has been called to meet
at Worcester September 3.
ENGLAND’S EGYPTIAN AVAR.
A Vote of Censure on the Treaty With
King John to be Moved.
London, July 26.—The Admiralty is
sending flat-bottomed steam sloops to pat
rol the Upper Nile. The Marquis of Har
tington’s statement in the House of Com
mons yesterday, that unless some unfore
seen necessity should arise no supple
mentary estimate for the defense of
Egypt "would be submitted, does not
imply that the expedition to
Khartoum will be abandoned. An
extra vote on that account will be asked
at the October session of Parliament. A
coalition has been formed between cer
tain Liberals and Tories in the House of
Commons for the purpose of moving a
vote of censure of the government on the
treaty negotiated between Admiral
Hewitt and King John of Abyssinia, on
the ground that it gives English sanction
to a raid in Southern Soudan, and will
lead to wholesale carnage of the Arabs.
Chevalier Neagra, the Italian Ambassa
dor to London, has initiated a com
promise to reconcile the English and
French differences in relation to the
Egyptain conference. Germany, Austria
and Russia support the compromise.
Orders have been sent to increase the
British fleet at Suakin. The corvette
Turfgrs has gone to that place.
IRELAND AND THE IRISH.

Dublin, July 26.— The Irish National
League has decided to hold the conven
tion next Tuesday at Belfast in spite of
the letter of Mr. Parnell opposing it. The
promoters of the convention maintain
that they are not opposed to Parnell or
the Irish parliamentary party.
Boycotting notices have appeared in
Skibbereen against the introducers of
labor-saving machines.
London, July 26.—The English sec

THE FENIANS IN FARIS.
Paris, July 26. —The Fenians In this
city announce that James Stephens, the
ex-Fenian head centre, and Mr. Gallagher
propose to visit America for the purpose
of advocating the Irish cause there. It
is expected that the English authorities
will demand the extradition of the Fe
nians concerned in the Scotland Yard
outrage.
A New Society in Germany.
Berlin, July 26.— A new society has
been formed in this city for the purpose
of protecting the interests of commerce
and industry. All the great bankers,
merchants and manfacturers of Germany
have signed a profljpmme to be
adopted by the society. Noue of Bis
marck’s partisans are included in the list
of signers. The society will oppose Prince
Bismarck’s colonial plans, and also all
bills interferring with the commmiee of
the country. Reactionary journals accuse
the society of being the tools of wire

PRESIDENTIAL CHANCES.
What the Shrewder Politician*. Think
of the Strength of the Candidates.
Washington, July 26.—The shrewder
politicians here do not think it too soon
to calculate the relative chances of Blaine
and Cleveland in the pending contest. All
the factors in the problem are pretty well
defined, and it is possible to combine them
so as to give an answer which will be
approximately correct. The effect of the
Republican nominations upon the people
in almost every corner of the country is
now well known. The effect of the re
markably weak letters written by those
candidates in acceptance of their nomi-
g ations is also well known. Everybody
mg demands that the nomination ot Blaine
aroused little enthusiasm compared
witfc that which his managers con
fide&v'y hoped to see. Everybody
under** Lands that his long, evasive, tenta
tive left* fell on the enthusiasm which
bad bes created with a dull, sickening
thud. E\ erybody understands that Lo
gan’s wes* ,rn ess as a candidate is so well
knows to> h. itelligent people that his letter
of aooeptaTß*-e was unnecessary as proof
of it. Thets, again, everybody knows how
Cleveland’s & ominationwas received, and
everybody fa*- Is sure that his letter of ac
ceptance wiSJ increase rather than di
minish the favi Table effect which it pro
duced.
IT is T\ o He expected
that the- Blaine managers will use
some of the mom l / they are now begging
so assiduously in stirring up what they
will call enthusis* m for the Republican
ticket. Brass bar,4 sand torchlights will
be used in this aa in every other cam
paign. But candid ates are elected by
votes, and it does no t appear that these
tawdry means will gl\ ?e Blaine and Logan
a majority of the eleek oral college.
land’s prospects are tM t dependent upon
any such tom-tom taeti, os. It is now rea
sonably certain—so cer. tain that well-in
formed Republican politicians admit it—
that Cleveland will .have the sup
port of the Tamil lany Demo
crats, with ftew ex ceptions, in
New York, and of the Butler Democrats,
with a few exceptions, in M assachusetts.
The claims that the Ireshtoen and that
the Roman Catholics will .oppose him,
never well founded, are gnu lually being
abandoned. In other words, it is under
stood by well informed men of both parties
here that Cleveland will have .almost the
solid support of the Demoera tic party
everywhere. The “almost” covers a very
few thousand votes. It seems equally
certain to well informed men tha.t Cleve
land will get a large majority of the votes
not cast lor Blaine, with the exception of
those cast by the Prohibitionists.
THIS IS A- YEAR
in which people are going to vote. Cleve
land will get the German vote as well as
the great majority of the Roman Catholic
vote, and the Irish vote so far as those are
defined. He will benefit indirectly by the
prohibition movement. Blaine’s anxiety
lest this might cost the Republicans
Indiana, Ohio. Wisconsin and other West
ern States, wnere the temperance ques
tion is a powerful two-edged sword, is
shown by the attempt of Commissioner of
Pensions Dudley, and Commissioner of
Indian Affairs Price, to induce the Pro
hibitionists at Pittsburg this week not
to nominate a separate ticket but to in
dorse Blaine’s nomination. This attempt
was, however, a most fatuous and foolish
one, for its only result was to rank Blaine
at his own suggestion, for Dudley and
Price acted under his immediate direction
with the extremists on the temperance
question. If there was any doubt as to
bis position on this question it must now
be dissipated. Blaine need not expect the
vote of any anti-Prohibitionist. On the
other hand, he cannot expect the votes of
the Prohibitionists because they will be
cast for their own candidate. Right here
we must add to Cleveland’s strength the
votes of the Independents and of the In
dependent Republicans—two very differ
ent claves.
THESE MAKE UP THE UNCERTAIN FACTOR.
The unknown quantity is the problem,
“You can always tell how the partisans
will vote,” said a Republican partisan
to-day, “but you can’t tell what those
and and fellows with consciences will do.”
Of course everybody understands that
the Independent movement is practically
unorganized. For every man who pub
licly announces that he will bolt
the Republican nomination this year,
or that being an Independent he
proposes to cast his vote for Cleve
land, there are ten who will do just the
same without saying anything publicly
about it. But this movement, is uncer
tain only as to numbers. It will throw
all its votes to Cleveland, and they will
be more than any one supposes—but just
how many no one knows. Finally, you
must remember that the Republican par
ty, having neither Wall street nor the star
route contractors to draw upon this year,
and having deserted the men who gave
most of the money which it has used in
New England, will be rubbing along
on the rocks all through the cam
paign. Is it surprising that cool
headed, well-balanced, well informed
Republicans, who, of course, cannot afford
to express their real opinions publicly,
are willing to admit privately that they
do not see how “Blaine can pull through.”
For my part I do not see how he will be
able to crawl out from under the adverse
majorities which will be piled upon him.
Franchise Demonstrations.
Manchester, July 26.—The demon

monster meeting of liberals.
Manchester, July 26. —At a Liberal
meeting here to-day 40,000 persons were
present, including many Members of the
House of Commons, and prominent Lib
erals. Premier Gladstone sent a letter
apologizing for his absence. The Mar
quis of Hartington, in supporting a
resolution of confidence in Premier
Gladstone’s policy charged the Conserva
tives with insincerity in their professed
desire to enlarge the franchise. Their
fears that the government redistribution
scheme would favor a Liberal majority
were ungrounded. He said that the con
tinuance of the House ot Lords was need
less to the existence of the government.
He believed that it would be imprudent
to attempt to reform the House of Lords
now, as the government had sufficient
work on hand already.
Mexican Financial Methods.
City of Mexico, July 26.— The
Secretary of the Mexican Treasury has
issued anew circular tor securing money.
When church property was confiscated
years ago the purchasers from the govern
ment paid in cash and promisorv notes.
The money paid on the latter was after
ward stolen. The property has since
changed hands many times. The govern
ment now demands that the present own
ers prove within thirty days that the notes
were paid by the original owners, many
of whom are dead.
Spain and Africa.
London, July 26.—A Madrid corres
pondent says that negotiations between
Spain and Africa relative to anew com
mercial treaty are now at a standstill.
The pretensions of America clash with
Spanish interests in Cuba. Spain is re
luctant about allowing closer commercial
connection between her colonies in the
West Indies and America. The latter is
already taking 80 percentage of the ex
ports from Cuba.
Murdered in a Compartment.
Belfast, July 26.— Charles Money

Economies and Reforms In the Esti

of the Island’s Debts Also Recom
mended—An Increase of the Spanish
Duties on Foreign Imported Sugar
Also Proposed.
New Yoke, July 26.—A late number of
La Diario de la Marina of Havana gives
the following details of the work of the
Commission on Reforms of Cuba at
Madrid. La Diario's correspondent, who
cables this news, is understood to speak
officially. The bases discussed in the
meeting of July 14 were :
1. To introduce into the estimates for Cuba
the greatest possible economies, particularly
the departments of war and mnrine.
S. To transfer to the general estimates of
the nation the expenses incurred in Cuba by
the legations and consulates of Spain in
American countries and those of Fernando
Po; to include in the estimates of Porto Rico
the expenses of the naval station there, which
shall involve a proportionate reduction for
Cuba; to distribute proportionally between
Cuba and Porte* Rico the subsidies paid the
several lines of mail steamers of the Gulf of
Mexico and the Antilles; to divide propor
tionately between the peninsula, Culm and
Porto Rico the subsidies paid to the several
lines of Atlantic steamers.
3. To make m various ways reduct ions in the
duties upon imports, and especially in those
levied upon exports, reducing them to the
lowest possible dmit.
CONVERTING TBE DEBTS.
4. To effect, with the consent of the
creditors, a conversion of all or some of the
debts of Cuba, deferring tUeir redemption
in such a manner as to diminish the amount
required for the liquidation of the debt, and
to issue bonds, with the neccsgary guaranty,
in a form that may be considered favorable
to the interests of the state, for the exclusive
purpose of liquidating the floating debt of
Cuba, exchanging bonds which ere about to
fall due agreeably to the laws if creditors
will accept such a conversion, and thus
become able to negotiate the necessary loans
required to meet this obligation.
i. To liquidate the war debt by converting
it into tlie ordinary form of a general debt
and by greatly accelerating suen conversion
by whatever measure is deemed opportune,
among 6uch means being the admission of
them at their nominal value in whole or par
tial payment of obligations due the state, the
redemption of “censor,” payment of cirrcnt
contributions and dues for* other classes of
contributions,
P. To release a nortion of the dues forcen
tr.bntions to debtors “for taxes” who hasten
to comply with the terms and conditions
whibh have been established.
DUTIES ON SUGAR.
7. To elevate the duties which sugars >f
fore gn production pay in Spain: to negotiants
treaties of commerce which, without conflict--
iug with the exchange of commodities be
tween Spain and the Antilles provinces,,
admit the sale of all articles of larger con
sumption which are imported into Cuba and
Porto Rico, which concession will aid in pro
tecting the products of those islands, to say
nothing Df the benefit obtained by those coun
tries with which treaties have been concluded
for the principal products of Cnba and Porto
Rico, dnties which relate exclusively to those
provinces and not to Spain.
8. To anticipate the clause of commercial
relatione with the Antilles provinces in favor
of the product of those islands, keeping in
view the interests of Spam and suppressing
henceforth the customs duties on grain, flour,
common wines, sugars and all other national
products arriving directly from the Antilles
or the Spanish coast, without prejudice to con
cessions whteh may be made m manufactured
articles, and reserving to the government the
right of impoting upon consumers or
a descriptioaof the articles referred to, and
thus the privileged tax upon consumers may
be imposed upon every class of articles with
out distinction among those enumerated.
Debate on these propositions continues from
day to day.
MEXICO COURTING WAR.
Americans Thrown Into Jail Without
Cause and Without Trial.
City of Mexico, July 26.—William
Harwood and Edmund Yalach, Ameri
cans, who were arrested without war
rants on an unfounded charge of detam
ing the President, are still closely confined.
They were sentenced without trial. The
American colony is greatly excitea, the
authorities having disregarded the
demands of the American Min
ister. The arrests were caused by
the collector of rents of the President’s es
tates, who wanted Yalach to tell him the
secret of the manufacture of a certain
kind of soap. Valach declined to di
vulge the secret, and the collector used
his influence to have him arrested. Har
wood had nothing to with the
matter but happened to be
with Valach when the latter was arrested,
and was taken also. Both prisoners bear
excellent reputations, and are over 50
years of age. Two American engineers
of the Mexican Central Railroad have
also been arrested. The American resi
dents believe that the State and Federal
authorities are courting international
trouble by a display of animosity against
the rights of Americans. They hope that
vigorous instructions to the American
Minister will be issued from Washington.
DRIVEN* RYAN ELECTRIC MOTOR
Frof. Tuck’s Torpedo Boat Skimming
the North River at Ten-Knot Speed.
Prof. Tuck’s electric submarine torpedo
boat was lowered into the water yester
day morning at the Delamater Iron
Works, says the New York Sun of July
20. It looks at a little distance very much
as if It had been constructed by laying a
large rowboat, upside down, on top of an
other large rowboat, fastening it there,
and planting them both sea green. The
shell is of iron, however. The boat is
thirty feet long. It is ballasted with lead,
so as to sink to the water’s edge, and its
displacement is twenty tons.
In the centre of what may be called the
deck is sunk a well hole. Ry a simple
air-lock arrangement it affords a passage
between the interior and the exterior of
the vessel, even when the vessel is wholly
under water. It is also the Captain’s
look-out station, and is capped with a
dome of heavy glass, so that if he chooses
he can exclude the water and stand in the
pit with his head and shoulders above the
top of the boat, or he can leave the glass
oil and stand there in a diving suit. Close
to his hand is a signaling steering appa
ratus, which transmits his orders to the
helmsman below. The boat has three rud
ders, one an ordinary vertical
rudder at the stern, and the other
two horizontal blades on the port and
starboard quarters. These last help to
govern the boat’s movements up and
down. To sink her water is pumped into
her compartments; to raise her air is
pumped in. and the water is forced out.
Compressed air is stored aboard in six
inch pipes. There is also an apparatus
for reoxygenating air that has already
been breathed. Moreover, there is a sim
ple arrangement by which the ends of
two rubber tubes can be lloated up to the
sui face of the water and opened to the
supply of fresh air up there.
An electric motor, driven by force from
storage batteries, runs the propeller. The
interior, which is arranged for a crew of
four or live men, is lighted by incandes
cent lamps. An indicator shows the dis
tance of the boat beneath the surface.
The estimated speed of the boat under
water is eight knots.
The torpedoes are to be carried outside
the vessel, one at the prow and one at the
stern. They are to be held there in iron
cylindrical sheaths by electro magnets,
which will selease them when the current
is cut off. They are ballasted with cork,
and after placing onfc of them the torpedo
boat retires to a distance, unreeling as it
goes two wires, by which, at a proper dis- •
tance, the torpedo is fired.
The lead ballast proved insufficient yes
terday to sink the boat below water. A
crew Of thiee men went aboard her, how
ever, and, with Mr. John Rice as captain,
a test was made of the electric engine.
H drove tha boat several milsa up and
down the river at a speed of ten knots.
She answered her rudder well. Some j
time this week she will be tried under
water.
