THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. , JULY 22, 1889. SITUATION GETTING SERIOUS. President Gambrill to Tell the C. and O. Canal Directors Its True Condition. Trom the Baltimore Sun_ President Stephen Gambrill, of the Chesa- peake and Ohio canal, has announced his in- tention of calling the directors together and laying the true situation of the canal’s affairs before them officially. If they can suggest no remedy, as seems probable, they will report their helpless condition to a general meeting of the stockholders. The next step, unless meas- ures for relief can be found, will be the ap- pointment of a receiver. President Gambrill said yesterday in refer- ence to the crisis in the affairs of the canal: “The waterway is practically useless to us now, owing tothe heavy damage from the recent flood. We have done all we could to put it once more in working order, but our efforts have been futile. The 2300,000 repair bonds which were issued find no takers, owing toa general feeling that they will prove an unsafe investment. e have a vertised for proposals to make the repairs, offering to pay for them in toll certificates of 20 per cent, but have not had asingle bid. Five coupons of the bonds have matured without takers coming forward, and under the stipulations a receiver can be asked for when only three have been passed. There seems to be no prospect that either the bonds will be taken or any bidders for the repairs will come forward. If we cannot settle our troubles by August 1 I shall report to the directors and they in turn will state the facts ‘to the stockholders. If we can do nothing then the management of the canal will pass into the hands of the courts. “Repairs have been made to only two sections | of the canal. The Georgetown level, which ex- tends from the mills in Georgetown, D. C., to the dam between four and five miles up the bed, will soon be in condition. A number of millers derive their water power from the canal between those points, and they have taken the juestion of repairs into their own hands, Sooner &Blundon, a Washington firm, have been awarded the contract at $13,750, together with $2,250 for repair to the feeder and feeder gates. The entire work wili be finished in about two weeks. It is joey Sa under the super- vision of myself and Division Superintendent J. B. Biser of the canal. The amount has been raised by the millers and deposited in bank by Mr. George W. Cissel, representing their in- terests, and myself. The total of $16,000 is accepted by the canal management as an ad- vance of the rent the millers have to pay. It will amount to that snm in two years. “The other portion of the canal repaired is the stretch of 22 miles between Cumberland and the lumber mills of Francis Mertens & Sons. The firm is now running boats upon it. The section was repaired by the Messrs. Mer- tens at a cost of 23,000, for which they will be reimbursed in the event the repair bonds are sold. No other repairs have been made beyond patching up a few holes for letting the canal water from dam No, 6 into Hancock, Md., and from dam No. 5 into Williamsport. * “With regard to the conference between my- self, Directors Berrett, McClure and Dobbin, representing the canal, and Messrs. Victor Cushwa, James Findlay and F. H. Darby, repre- senting interests in Williamsport, which con- ference was held at the Carrollton hotel on July 9, I must say that the delegation made us no stated proposition. They simply asked how we would consider their plan. Their idea was to go to work and repair the canal between Mer- ten’s Mills and Williamsport, and run it between those points themselves until they could be re- imbursed by the receipts from the tolls. We informed them that, as managers for the stock- holders, we could not accept such a proposition, which would be nothing more than surrender- ing the canal temporarily to outside parties. The claim of the three Williamsport gentle- men that they could do the work for one-half the cost estimated by us cannot be accepted as a just one. Our estimate was $50,000 for the i Cumberland division, which is 100 miles long. It extends from Cumberland to dam No. 4, 17 miles south of Williamsport. ‘Their estimate did not include the 22 miles put in order by Mr. Mertens and the 17 miles oe tween Williamsport and dam No, 4, or 39 out of the 100 miles. Then, again, our estimate was for permanent repairs. while their scheme was only to restore navigation temporarily. ‘The directors placed the cost of running the entire Cumberland division, including the wharf at the northern terminus, at $2,500 a mouth, while the Williamsport conferees stated their belief that $1,500 would be sufficient for the same period. "They formed their opinions upon the supposition that they would not have to pay lock tenders and other employes during the dull season, which is not correct, “The best way I see just now of settling the troubles with which the canal management is confronted is to prosecute the repairs on re- cervers’ certificates, which wouldcome in before all other claims for payment in the event of a foreclosure of the mortgages held by the state and other parties. If the people doing busi- ness along the route choose they can pay the expenses themselves and put in a new manage- ment. The situation is a critical one for the canal, and | see but little chance to avoid what I fear must come—the appointment of a re- ceiver.” eee ANARCHIS®S WILL AGITATE. How They Propose to Spread Their Doctrines in America Hereafter. From the New York Herald, July 21. ‘The official program of the anarchist groups in Americh has just been published and is of unusual interest, owing to the fact that it con- tains new rules for the dissemination of rev- olutionary doctrines throughout the United States. Hitherto this work has been done more or less secretly and has attracted little or no attention from the English-speaking peo;le of this country. Now it is proposed to do the work openly and to convert as many persons as possible by means of newspapers, pamphlets, leaflets and speeches. The four leading men in the movement are John Most, J. Kennel, M. Schulze and J. Edeler. M. Schulze is a fellow- laborer with Most in the Freihed and edited the paper during Most’s term of imprisonment on ‘kwell’s Island. AN AGITATION COMMITTEE APPOINTED. By the advice of these men a committee of nine has been appointed te carry on the agi- tation. The nine men are Kennel, Wolky, Behulze, Weiss, Edeler, Reinsdorf, Girdansky, Mertens and Hax. Mertens and Reinsdorf are members of typographical union, No. 7, and compositors in a down-town newspaper Office. The latter is the brother of the man who was executed in Germany a few years ago for attempting “to assassinate Emperor William I of Germany. John Most is not on the commit- tee because he thinks that he can do better work by watching and carefully guiding the movement. Every local group throughout the country Wil! be expected to give financial support to this committee and the money will be spent in printing pamphlets and leatlets and in paying the traveling expenses of itinerant revolutionary lecturers. Among the groups which have sanctioned this new departure and have promised to give the “Agitation Committee” all the help in — are those from Brooklyn, Hobok nion Hill, Newark, Elizabeth, Paterson. New laven, Bridgeport, Meriden, Providence, Taunton, Pittsburg, Philadelphia and Balti- more. ee Mexico Honors Mr. Carlisle. Ex-Speaker Carlisle arrived in the City of Mexico last Wednesday. A dispatch from there to the New York Herald says that on Fri- day, in company with Mrs. Carlisle and Min- ister Ryan he visited the president and Mrs. Diaz at the castle of Chapultepec. The party Femained more than two hours. Mr. Carlis! deciares himself greatly impressed with Presi- deut Diaz. President Diaz expressed his ad- miration and friendship for the people and government of the United States, and mani- fested the utmost interest in the congress of American powers to be held at Washington ext October. Mr. Carlisle will remain in Mexico about two months. A reception in honor of Mr. Carlisle and his wife in the Amer- ican legation is announced for Wednesday Bext. —thtnipeennaiianiangs A Gentleman Tramp. Aslender, refined-looking man was picked up by the police over in the bog at Mt. Holly, N. J., yesterday, where ke was associating with ‘8 gang of tramps, most of whom have been in SULLIVAN AT LONG BRANCH. He Has Not Yet Left for Boston—Mitch- ell Sails for Europe. John L, Sullivan did not, after all, go to Bos- ton from New York Saturday night. He made @ pretense of going, but instead sought the se- clusion of the Vanderbilt hotel, and yesterday took a trip to Long Branch. When Sullivan was approached on the subject of Smith's chal- lenge to fight him he laughed heartily. “He only wants a little notoriety,” be said, “and why not let him make some money out of itifhe can? Butif Smith wants to fight I will box him before the California Athletic club to a finish, providing they hang out purse enough. I'm done with knuckle-fights. They are too dangerous. We've had trouble enough with this affair to satisfy me.” ae Muldoon, who went from Long Brane! urday to see the champion, was asked if he had said to a correspondent of the Cincinnati Zn- quirer that Judge McAllister had been paid #500 for releasing Sullivan at Nashville, “It's a lie,” he said. “I never made any such statement.” CHARLEY MITCHELL SAILS, Charley Mitchell sailed away from these shores Saturday morning on the Cunarder Etruria. It is not likely that he will ever re- turn, for during the last twelve days he has lived in constant fear of arrest. The advice given him by Justice Mitchell during the early part of the week decided him, and he kept very quiet until it was the general impression that he was resting quietly in Canada, He ft on board the steamer with all the baggage e had in ‘this country. His wife and her father, | Poney Moore, accompenied him. John L. Stroub, the Harlem restaurant man, saw them | off. Mitchell was more cheerful than at any time since the — He said he was glad to get away, and would probably never return, DR. DOUGHERTY ON THE FIGHT. Dr. J. A. Dougherty, who was Jake Kilrain’s physician in the recent championship battle with Sullivan, seems sorely disappointed that his favorite’s condition on entering the ring was such as to preciude the possibility of him winning the fight. He was interviewed at his cottage at Atlantic City Saturday. “Was Kilrain in the best of condition when he fought?” was asked the doctor. “I believed so up to the day before the bat- tle.” he replied. “When I asked him _ his weight when not training for a fight he told me 230 pounds. ‘And what is your weight now?’ ‘About 180 pounds, I believe.’ I told Mitchell such a loss in weight was entirely too great to induce strength and endurance. No man can lose one-third or one-fourth of his normal weight in afew days and be in the prime of physical condition.” How was Kilrain trained?” “Charley Mitchell thought the old Jack Broughton process, which has been followed in England since the inception of p ilism as an art, was the best for Kilrain, and he followed it strictly. Sullivan was trained according to a more modern mode, which, while reducing and hardening the flesh, tends to clear it of all sub- stances hkely to produce a disaffection in the body. Kilrain was suffering from pimples and boils. which proved to be an insurmountable obstacle in the path of his trainer and phy cian.” “Was there a conflict of opinion at any time between Kilraip and Mitchell as to the mode of training?” “That is a matter known only to themselves, But myopinion ‘is that Kilrain’s worst battle was finished with his training. “Was Kilrain confident of success just before he entered the ring, and did his condition war- rant that hope?” “He was full of confidence in his ability to whip Sullivan, but to me his condition was far from satisfactory. He was lone oe by that enthusiasm which makes one feel like a giant before the contest, but which vanishes at the first reverse.” “Does that Kilrain’s biow: “It certainly does. He went into the ring determined to push the fighting and finish his opponent in at least ten rounds. Sullivan's rough treatment quickly weakened Kilrain’s superficial strength and shattered his conf dence, and his blows, though well placed, had evidently no sting or force. In fact, he fought like a man who parried for time with his opponent in the hope that some lucky dispen- sation would give him a winning opportunity. But no such chance came, and Jake went through the battle receiving very severe punish- ment, but only making a farcical and heart- sickening attempt to return it. He was too weak to deliver effective blows or ward off those of his powerful opponent,” “Were you called on to prescribe for Kilrain during the fight?” “Atno time during its progress was I called on to attend Kilrain. His neck, shoulders and back, however, were badly burned by the sun and needed treatment, and had one-third of his body been burned as severely as was his neck the result might, indeed, have been serious.” “Did Kilrain receive good treatment after the fight, and is there any truth in the state- ment that his friends deserted him?” “As for myself, Ican truthfully say that I treated him in the most approved way, After taking some medicine and being bandaged and rubbed with ointment, Kilrain deciared that he could fight the battle over again. The story that Mitchell and his friends deserted him is totaliy unfounded, but the talk has since produced a coolness between the two. It is true that Mitchell was not with Kilrain on the night of the fight, but he was nevertheless busy looking after the defeated man’s interest.” “How much money did Kilrain lose, doctor ?” “About $6,000 personally. Over $40,000 changed hands on the result.” “Do you suppose Kilrain is anxious to do battle again with the Boston boy ?” “No,” said the doctor, emphatically, “he has had enough, and he and Mitchell will soon leave for England.” With this closing sentence the bright young surgeon lit a fresh cigar and resumed the pe- rusal of his favorite sporting paper. unt for the ineffectiveness of GOV. LOWRY CONTINUES TO PROSECUTE. Governor Lowry of Mississippi has received scores of newspapers and hundreds of letters from all over the Union commenting on his action in the Sullivan-Kilrain business. Nearly all the letters speak in commendable terms of. his efforts, while three or four are abusive. One from Chicago and one from Boston are threat- ening, the latter warning him that the thing i fixed and that Sunday would be his last day on earth. The Chicago letter also threatened his life unless he ceases pursuit of the sluggers. Attorney-General Miller Saturday prepared and forwarded to be filed in the Lauderdale county circuit court, an information in the name of the District Attorney against the Northeastern railroad company, setting forth im an informal manner the grigvences of the state against said corporation in its active par- ticipation in the Sullivan-Kilrain mill, and prays for judgment of forfeiture and ouster. These proceedings are instituted after a two days’ consultation between the governor and attorney general and District Attorney Neville. The attorney of the Queen and Crescent rail- at Cincinnati has answered the demand of Gov. Lowry of Mississippi, for the delivery into his hands of Superintendents Carroll and Ty- ler, that the power to deliver these men does not lie in the hands of the directory or officers of the road. As to the proposed forfeiture of the charter of the New Orleans and Southeast- ern division, the idea is laughed at by the counsel, who says no court ever granted a for- feiture of charter except for violations of the conditions thereof, 0 Not in Favor of Pardoning Harper. The report in the case of E. L. Harper of the late Fidelity bank of Cincinnati, who has made application for a pardon, has been returned to the Department of Justice here by United States District Attorney John W. Herron. The application for pardon on Harper's part was accompanied by a number of petitions, which his wife and other friends had circulated throughout the judicial district of southern Ohio. These were sent to the Department of Justice, and by direction of the President re- ferred to District Attorney Herron for his opinion, and also those of Circuit Judge Jack- son and District Judge Sage. After the papers were received in Cincinnati the district attor- ney forwarded them to Judge Jackson, who re- turned them with a statement adverse to grant- ing Harper s pardon. Judge Sage added n Wi another chapter, more severe Mr. Herron declines to recom- wa Jackson sai mend favorable action. Meantime, says a Cincinnati Jessie Holmes, MURAT HALSTEAD TALKS. The Ohio Editor’s Views on His Re- jection by the Senate. Murat Halstead of the Cincinnati Commer- cial Gazette, who had been spending a few days ig Paris at the Grand hotel, left Saturday for London to sail on the City of Paris for America on Wednesday. Before he left Paris the New York Herald correspondent asked him for an interview on the Senate discussion about his appointment to the German mission. Mr. Halstead said: “I have never talked about the affair and do not wish to say much about it now. Nothing has been heard from me on the subject for the reason that I was ill when the nomingtion was sent to the Senate by the President and was ill for four weeks, so that I knew little of what was going on at the time. I did not have brain fever, as was d, When I began to BS attention to the Senate’s action my friends said all that was necessary, WHERE THE TROUBLE CAME FROM. “The original cause of the trouble came through Senator Payne, father-in-law of ex- Secretary Whitney. Democrats generally in my case opposed the administration. I do not think it was good politics in them, I have no rsonal feeling of animosity toward Mr. yne, but it was unwise to bring up the issues of the manner of his election to the Senate to influence the election of his successor. The people of Ohio will doubtless express and exe- cute their will on this subject. Tshat be con- tent with what — do, Ifeel very much in- terested in the Ohio campaign, and have no doubt of the triumphant re-election of Gov- ernor Foraker. I feel myself able to render some assistance inmaking the Commercial Gazeile a warm, effective campaign paper during August, September and October.” HALSTEAD DID HIS SHARE TO MAKE IT HOT. Mr. Halstead continued: “Nobody ever denied that Mr. Payne was elected with money except the Cleveland Plaindealer. I did my share in making that matter hot in Ohio. When the question came up as to whether the Senate should investigate Mr. Payne or not something had to be done. Mr. Payne’s friends knew that if an investigation came it would be ruin to him and to them. Therefore they had to find some means of evading it. The thing decided upon was to make it a personal matter with me. Therefore, instead of debating what Mr. Payne had done they debated what had said—which was an injustice to me. Instead of the election of Mr. Payne they debated my literary career and extravagance of language. EVEN EVARTS CRITICIZED HIM. “My friend Evarts even accused me of impetuosity when it came to talking of my fitness for a foreign mission, The Senate debate took place on the propriety of certain alleged language of mine which was used by the correspondents of the Commercial Gazetie which I never employed. My own language in speaking of the Senate will be found par- lamentary, Substantially, therefore, my nom- ination was rejected by holding me responsible for what was said by others writing over their own responsible signatures. But I have no complaint to make. I am well satisfied with the situation and would rather go home than stay abroad. I think that I represent the American nation best when I come and go at my pleasure and pay my own expenses. I greatly rejoice to be able to go home in good ealth. Other affairs to me are immaterial in comparison.” ——__ —_.60—__. A FUSILADE IN OHIO. One Policeman Dying and an Unknown Man Shot Dead in a Buggy. Two prisoners, W. A. Smith and Richard N. Mansfield, broke from the county jail at Cleve- land, Ohio, Saturday night, going through the slate roof. Deputy Sheriff Joseph Goldsoll went to the western part of the city, where one of the men lived, and with a policeman lay in wait for the fellows. About midnight a car- riage containing two men passed along the street. The officers called to the occupants of the vehicle to stop, and, after some talk one of the men fired a revolver at the policeman. He and Goldsoll opened fire in return, half a dozen shots being exchanged. Goldsoll fell at the first volley, shot through the abdomen, and the rig was driven rapidly away. The wounded officer was taken to a hospital, where he now lies in a dying condition, and an hour later the rig driven by the two men was found a mile from the place of the shooting. In the buggy was the dead body of one of the men. He had been shot through the body. It was at first thought the dead man was Smith, the younger of the prisoners; but those who know Smith utterly failed to identify the corpse, and to-night the police are still in the dark. ‘They think, however, that the dead man was up to mischief, for in the buggy were found two revolvers, a club, screw driver and @ piece of rope. The horse, which had been stolen from the eastern part of the city, was wounded in the hip and the buggy was riddled with bullets, It is believed that the other man was also wounded. And Now a Natural Gas Trust. There is a movement on foot looking to the “consolidation of all the natural gas companies in the Ohio and Indianaand put them into a trust. It is understood that this arrangement has the sanction of Calvin 8. Brice, Oliver H. Payne, and other standard oil magnates. They now own the majority ofall the stock of the companies in Ohio and Indiana, and will buy up ee stock of the remaining independent companies, It is a gigantic scheme, “eee Eight Skeletons Found in a Cave. St. Helena, on the Nebraska side of the Mis- souri, 10 miles below Yankton, Dak., is in a state of excitemént over a ghastly discovery made there Saturday. Parties who were pros- pecting in the chalk cliffs of that neighborhood for material for manufacturers of cement came upon a small opening in the Missouri river face of the rock. It was found to be a large apart- ment carved by nature in the soft, chalky sub- stance, but the startling feature of the incident was the discovery within this cave of eight human skeletons.’ These were lying about on the floor of the cavern in such disorder as to -diseredit the theory that the cave might be an ancient burial place, The age of the bones can not be determined, but they have undoubted! been therealong time. The belief prevails that these are skeletons of early settlers who sought the shelter of the cave when attacked by fadians years ago, and that they were either killed in a body or starved to death, pas leap All Quiet in Samoa.

The sworn statements of ite Gaily circulation, published from week to week, taken in connection with the data given below, i Justrate in the most striking manner the steady and rapid growth of the paper in circulation and imfluence. They also establish, beyond contre Versy, the fact that THE Stak is the best looal ad- wertising medium, not oniy in the Untied Mates, Dut in the whole world! This claim is based and conceded on the fact that no city in any country is 80 thoroughly covered by the regular circulation af & single paper as is the city of Wastington by that of THE EVENING STAR; and it does not rest on the ¢ient alone, but also on the character of ciroula tion. Not only is its local circulation the largest and fullest of any daily paper printed, in propor tion to population, but it is also the BEST, since the Paper does not merely go into the bands of the People of the District of Columbia asa body, but Into their homes,—into the families of all condi tions, and into those of the moncy-epending ae Well as the moneyearning portion of the com munity,—in @ much larger ratio than any daily journal that can be named. By reason of the fullness, freshness and reliability of ite news, local, domestic and foreign, ite independent and fair treatment of all public questions, and espe cially because of its intelligent and effective de Yotion to local interests. and its close attention to matters with which the household, and particu- larly its laay members, are concerned, THE STaR is everywhere recognized and admitted to be, im every quality, the leading and favorite newspaper of the National Capital, alike im the counting- Toom, the work-shop, aud the family circle. More conclusive evidence on these points me person can @sk than that afforded by the table below. The growth of circulation therein indi= cated, with the analysis following, clearly shows the esteem im which the paper is held by the com- munity to whose interests it is so steadfastly de- Voted. It will be seen that, in the number of copies issued, every month in the year 1888 shows & handsome increase over the corresponding month in each year given; and, as a further illus tration on that point, it may be stated here wat there has been @ corresponding advance in the Lumber of new advertisements printed during the year. The comparative Ggures ior we four years last past are as follows: DAILY CLROULATION IN 1885~"86-'87-'88. 25,470 26,200, 26,008 23,575 25,742 23,116 24,570 24.509 24,905 24,507 235,007 26,466, 25,454 27,068 1,803 1,508 Of this aggregate daily circulation of 27,082 copies, the books of the office show that an average of 20,029 copies were regularly delivered each day, by carriers, ai the homes u/ permanent su- scrivers in the city and suburbs. Of the remainder, & daily average of 5,421 were sold at the office, im the hotels and railway stations, #tc.,and on the streets, by newsboys, making & grand Wlal average within the District of 25,450 copies daily, leaving 8 daily average of 1,032 w be seut regular sub- scribers residing beyond its limits, by mall, express, and railway trains. In addition to the 20,629 copies daily delivered at the homes of subscribers, a large proportion of the 5,421 otherwise disposed of in thecity is reg- ularly purchased by permanent residents, living in lodgings, &c. (no! bousehviders), while the resi- due goes into the hands of trausient visitors, from all parts of the country, who each year come he National Capital in greater numbers and for longer periods, and who, iurthermore, largely rep- Fevent the well-to-do and purchasing portions of ibe communities ty which Wey respecuvely belong. ‘Ibe last-named is a class of readers aioue wei Worth reaching; but it is to the phenomenally large permanent local circulation of we paper, and especially to its unparalleled bold upon the housebold and family circle, that the attention of advertisers is particularly directed. A comparison of the home circulation of 25,450 with the igures representing te entire popula tion of the city will conciusively establinn the fact that THE STAK reaches about every family in we Districtof Columbia, and is read every day by more than three-Jourtns uf us pupulaiion who are adhe to read! 1t follows, therefore, that an advertise ment inserted in its columus Will meet We eyeat every person in the Vistrict worth rescuing, of Whatever race, creed, sex, age, or condition in life, At only remains to ve suid, for the information of those interested in the subject, Wat, in proportion to its circulation, the rates of advertising im ime EVENING Stak, whether transient or for long periods, rank with the very lowest in the United Diates.
