This is significant, taken in conjunction with the fact that porte has not yet fixed the day for the discussion of the military convention. The Times says, with reference to the foregoing: *‘We cannot profess regret at this signthat our troops may be spared co-operation with their in- convesi nt ally.” Iuis ssid the Otto- man delegates demanded that the conferctice be kept open. § A NEWSPAPER MAN, ALEXANDRIA, August 15.--The French consul has undertaken to guarantee the character of the corres- pondent of the Paris newspaper Lan- terne, arrested at the outposts, He will be served with a severe warning to be careful as to his future conduct.

Wolseley has arrived. ALEXANDRIA, August 10 —Lieut, Smith Dorrcus’ account of his recon- noisance 18 as follows: Lieut. Hamil- ton and myself, «fter proceeding very cautiously about 17 miles without escort, arrived at 2:30 o'clock Tues- day morning within 300 yards of the enemy’s country camp. The night was very dark and we were unable to get the details of the position. We therefore decided to find a point whica would enablo us to see the camp when daylight broke. We had not moved 30'yards when the enemy’s picket saw us and showed a bright light, which was directly answered along the line. Wae ran about a mile and eutered the lake about a hundred yards. The enemy pursued and spread themselves along the lake, completely cutting off our retreat. Their horses secmed afraid to face the water in the dark. The enemy’ tem of signaling with lights appeared excellent. Our every movement was flashed by the nearest 5 "OMAHA - man and answered along the line. I presume the enemy did not fire in or- der not to alarm any force we might have had near. We tied a white handkerchief to a pole, and afterward decided to make another attempt to escape. At 4 o'clack in the morning we went a hundred yards further into the lake and lay down in two feet of water, The enemy, evidently losing sight of us, retired. At 4:45 we rose, and having made a detour, returned to the English camp.

Callan then ex- claimed repeatedly “‘it is false.” The chairman called upon Calian to with- draw the imputauon, but instead of doing 0, he repeated the objection- able statement, The chairman there- upon named Callan, and on motion of Gladstone he was suspended— b8 yeas, 3 nays.

It was seemingly confined tc a section of country about 26 miles in extent, reaching from Mazomanie to within a fow miles of Kast Madison. In Black Earth valley the storm was particularly severe. The cloud burst near Cross Plaines, deluging the whole valley. Black Earth creek rose with such rapidity that two freight trains and the eastern passenger, reaching that station about the same time, were afraid to go farther, and as subsequent events proved this precaution was a wigo one, for in less than half an hour the rushing waters carried away a 50 foot bridge just east of the station and in less than an hour carried away another bridge just west of the station, sweeping nine freight cars which were attached to one of the freight trains standing on the bridge from lack of room on the awitch and main track, off into a field near by.

The circumstances attending this death were of the most heart rending char- acter, The deceased was only seven- teen years old and had been a wife less than two years. At the time of her death she left a little babe about three monts old. Owing to the na- wure of her disease she was compelled to endure her sufferings among stran- gors, and meet the ‘‘last enemy” of our race away from home and without the presence of those so dear to her heart. Lust week the little babe, Gussie Birr, was taken sick and on Friday, August 11, the little sufferer was carried to the arms of the sainted mother. The writer was called upon to offi- ciate at the funeral of the babe and conduct services in memory of the mother, Saturday afterncon, August 12, at the residence of Galen Barr's father, on Leavenworth street, be- tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth streots, After the death of Mrs, Barr the babe was most, tenderly cared for by its grandmother, Mrs, Barr, re- ceiving at her hands a mother's wateh- ful attention, We have seldom witnessed more sincere demonstrations of grief than was manifested by the friends of the deceased mother and babe. I am re- quested in this brief notice to thank th sneighbors and friends for their great kindness during the illness of the little sufferer, and for their gener- ous of beautiful flowers on the day of her burial, JW. L A SQUEALING SENATOR. The “Pavorite Son” of Massa- chusetts Defends the Har- bor Bill, The Pressure of Fublic Opinion Brings Out an Explana- tion. The Veto of the Veto an Act of Un~ approachable Patriotism. A Doleful bound from the Backwoods of Vermont, Hoar on the Harbor Bill. Special Dispatch to Tir Brx, Woncrster, Mass,, Aug. 16, —Sen- ator Hoar has addressed a lotter to the people of Massachnmetts, giving his reasons for voting for the river and harbor bill, and giving also some views on internal improvements, In the opening, Mr. Hoar says to the ple: “It has never been your ashion to condemn your public ser- vants unheard. You will be glad to listen to the reasons which have gov- orned a large majority os your delega- tion as well as a large majority in both houses of congress in giving tieir sup- port to the river and harbor bill, ff we have erred it has been with the sincere desire to do right, and with- out the smallest desire to do wrong. Therte is no son of Massachusetts who love: her more than I do. But fully believing, after carotul consideration, that my duty to her and to the whole country required of me that vote, I could not have failed to cast it for all the honors and offices within her gift. The people get more for their money from this class of ap- propriations than from any other. These works are permanent. They do not perish with using, The money is oxpended by a board of engineers. This board is made up of experi- ence army oflicers and has the confidence of the country more than any other public body, not excepting the supreme court itself, No member or congress orany- body else can influence the expoendi- ture, The economy and expenditure of no dollar in this department has ever, 80 far as I know, been chal- lenged. It is absurd to say these har- bors and bays aud great rivers are not to be made accessible to districts, towns or factories in their vicinity, and that it is not proper to exercise national authority to do it. You might as well say, while Boston har- bor is national, it could be so decided that ships could not go to its wharves because the wharves are local; yow might as well, in building ‘the Boston & Albany railroad across the state refuse to have sidetracks at town and cities becauss they are local. There iy one respect in which this river and harbor moaey is best spent fof all public appropriations, save only the pensions. There are vast s in this country where the United States government has been known for a generation only in’ the character of a conqueror or tax- gatherer. It is good that they should see this great and beneficient power in its character of a benefavtor. But it is also well that people in these sec- tions of the country who have been educated tor half a cen- tury to look on the national gov- crnment with joalousy and dislike, and who have gnlt its terrible power in war, in wasted fields and desolated homes, should learn to associate its image with beneficient works which join them with the great system of national commerce, and on which their prosperity and wealth are here- after to depend, Whether the polioy of this bill is to be popular in Massa- chusetts this afternoon or this week or this year I do not know. But one thing I go know: It is in the line of all her itions and is sure,sooner or later, to command her support. Vermont Greenbackers.
