Special Dispatches to Tix Brx, CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES, WasHINGTON, June 24.— Secretary Chandler has addressed a letter to the chief of each of the bureaus of the navy department, calling attention to the rec- ommendations of the commission con- cerning the reorganization of the navy yarde and the disposition proposed to be mwada of each yard. The commandants of the various yards have been furnished a copy of the letter and requested to as- sist in ¢ 'r?xllquut the plan of the com- mission.@The secretary alludes to the stati of the navy yards, and says: “They show an enofmous daily ex- ‘penditure, namely: For 657 fore- St} clerka . sid employes other than ordinaj mechanics and workingmen, $2,179, and 3805 other em- ployees 89,139, making 4402 total em- ployes at a daily compensation of $11,- 319, or at the rate of £3,000,000 a year, when the only work in progress on ships of war at all the yards was repairing of the Omaha. Shenandoah, Trenton, Os- sipee, Mohican and Alert,” Secretary Chandler considers this enor- mous expenditure for such feeble results inconsistent] with faithful administration. SUNDAY OPENING, The Post will publish to-morrow a long article presenting the question of open- ing on Sunday the National museum, Smithsonian Institute, congressional libra- ry, and similar institutions at the capital. Librarian Spofford, Professor Baird, Col. Robert G. Ingersoll and Robert Colyer, of New York, favor the movement, while of the numerous ministers here but two approve the proposition. VAN WYCK WINS. WasHINGTON, June 24.—Second Assis- tant Postmaster Elmer has annulled the contract lately awarded to John R. Miner for carrying mail _on the newly estab- linh:id route from Fort Niobrara to Dead- wood, This is the matter on which Senator Van Wyck has been waging such a strong war, and will be looked upon as at least a partial victory for him. ~Miner and his backers were so sure of being sustained by the postal authorities, through the influence of some of the Nebraska dele- gation, that they had already sent horses and mules to various stations along the route, and were getting ready to com- mence business. What action will now be taken is un- known, but at all events it is pretty posi- tive that none of the old starroute crowd need apply. ASSISTED IRISH EMIGRANTS, Alexander Sullivan, president of the Irish National League of America, ac- companied by a representative deputa- tion, presented to President Arthur yes- tezday at the white house an address in ACCO) with previous arrangements and resolutions adopted at the great Irish convention in Philadelphia, protesting against the reduction by law and force of large numbers of Irish people to pauper- ism and their deportation in extreme verty to the United States. The ad- ress detailed the present condition of Ireland and the efforts of the British government to ship the poor and aged people of that country to America. Mr. Sullivan’s address was supplemented by short speeches by, Messrs- H. L. Hognet, president of the Irish Emigrant Savings nk of New York, Jas. Lynch, of New York, president of the Irish Emigration society, and Smith, of Ohio, who said 73 impoverished emigrants were sent to Tif- fen and were a burden upon that com- munity. The president replied to the address as follows: The subject you present will re- ceive my careful consideration. It has already been under consideration by the secretary of state. Correspondence in regard to it has been had with our diplo- matic and consular representatives, and i tion into the facts is now being me. It is, of course, proper that this government should ascertain whether any nation with which it holds amicable relations is violating any obliga- tion of international friungnhip before calling attention to any such mat- ter. The law now provides that officers of the treasury shall exam- ine into the condition of passengers ar- riving as_emigrants in any part of the United States, and if there should be found any convict, lunatic, idiot or an; person unable to take care of himsel without becoming a public charge they shall report the same in writing to the collector of the port and such person ahll not be permitted to land. In- vestigation will thorough and exhaus- tive on this side of the Atlantic, and on the other, and in the meantime the law will be strictly enforced.” Each of the delegates was then pre- sented to'the president by Sullivan and the conference closed. TREASURY STATEMENT, WasHINGTON, June 23.—The followin, is the condition of the treasury: Gol coin and bullion $196,000,727; silver dol- and bullion, $115,302,672; fractional sil- ver coin, $28,483,281; United States notes, $563,858,7. total 8393,667,378, Certificates outstanding: Gold, $610,- 613.60; silver, §719,021.91; Currency, $13,090,000. STAR ROUTE MATTERS. In the criminal court, Williams, coun- sel for Brady, asked Judge Wylie to dis- pose of the original and untried indict- ment in the star route case. Ker said hat Bliss was in New York and Merrick was sick, and therefore asked that fur- ther time be allowed. Judge Wylie said he hardly thought the old in. dictment =~ would trouble Wil. liams _ again. _ Williams, counsel Hathaway, hadies of ille Waaghan T 4esl prison and waa prosent during we'l Amination.

The Pullman Regatta, A PRODIGY DEVELOPED. Cricaco, June 24— The sculling re- gatta on Lake Calumet Saturday afte noon developed a surprise and prodigy in the person of young Teemer, of McKees- port, an oarsman hitherto unknown, but who' displayed his mettle by winning a place in the final struggle Friday, but who failed to keep up with either Han- lan,; Hosmer, or Hamm, owing, as it is now claimed, to his inexperience in row- ing in rough water. Saturday, in what has been termed *‘the Consolation race,” open to all but the three leaders of the day precedinig, he covered the three miles in 20:14, thus lowering Courtney’s best record of 20:14) and the best time onrecord, and upon which his reputation has been built. Five thousand people were on_the grounds. The seven men were ready, and when the word wasgiven at 4:07 went off together, having been laced ag follows: McKay, Lee, Gandaur, fillintt, Parker, Riley, 'l{omer. Plaisted. Gandaur shoved to the front early, with Riley setond and Elliott third, the latter pulling thirty-six strokes to the minute. At the half-mile buoy Riley and Gandaur were abreast, both leading Teemer and Lee a lmgth Teemer ¢hen came up and passed KElliott, ' who dropped out of the race. Lee” then forged ahead and tiurned ‘the mile and a half buoy first, in 9:16, Gandaur sec- ond, with Teemer, Riley and Plaisted in the order named. At the mile and three- uarter buoys Lee made a claim that Gandaur had fouled him, and from that on the chance for first place was gone. . Gandaur pushed ahead and passed the two-mile buoy at 14:03, leading Lee one-half length, ifcl(ay in close proximi- ty with Teemer on his quarter and Parker and Plaisted well in the rear. Lee stopped rowing after passing the two- mile buoy. Teemer all this time was rowing in fine form, and, passing Mc- Kay, pulled for Gandaur with a stroke of 32 to the minute. At the two and a half mile buoy Teemer went to the front and held it to the finish, Gandaur coming in second two seconds later, with McKay, Riley, Parker and_Plaisted following in the order named, McKay and Riley being well up to leaders, The double scull race was called at 5:20 o'clock, with five entries, as follows and in the order given: Hanlan and Lee, Plaisted and Parker, Hosmer and McKay, Gandaur and Kennedy, Woisgerber and Ola({'nn The story_of the race is easily told. Hanlan and Lee led off at a forty stroke, and were pushed for one mile by Hosmer and McKay, Weisgerber and Clayton keeping well up and Plaisted and Parker dropping back early. Hanlan and Lee passed the mile and a half buoy in 842, McKay and Hosmer sec- ond, Gandaur and Kennedy third, Weis- gerber and Clayton fourth, and Plaisted and Parker fifth. After starting for home Hanlan and Lée increased their lead ma- terially and before passing the two-mile buoy ceased rowing for fully ten seconds. They started again, leading by six lengths, and stood to the finish, increas- ing the gap momentarily, and crossed the line in 19:37, Hosmer and McKay coming in twenty-six seconds later, Weisgerber and Clayton nine seconds after them. Gandaur and Kennedy were fourth and Plaisted and Parker fifth, e —— Consecration ot the Bishop of Nash- ville. Special Dispatch to Tus Bex. Nasuviie, June 24.—The conseera- tion of Rev.

The expectition is therefore warranted that the republican state convention will declare in the same manner. The con- test, alrendy heated and bitter in the | primaries, will probably continue so until | the polls are closed. With this fall's | election the temperance people intend to sottle finally the constitutionality of pro hibition by'‘choosing a legislature that | shall doctor the constitution until it can logally assimilate the vexing doetrine thoroughly and effectively, While the prohibitionists have seized the republican party organization to accomplish their purposes, and they aws identified. with that party so thoroughly by prefcvence and tradition that their failure would be a republican overthrow, here and there democrats have come out for prolibition as the only thing that will settle an irre- pressible conflict. THE GOVER The opposition, which was rife against NORSHIP, to have subsided. In the light of present events, it must be conceded he was wise in the course he pursued in refusing to yield to the clamor of a few over-zealous persons. He evidenced far more stamina than most people supposed he possessed. The people will yet learn that he has more ‘‘sand” than they supposed. Time and good judgment are turning those who a few months ago were denouncing him, to his fayor. There is now no opposition to his renomination, and he m'{l probably have none in the state con- vention. forts are being made to draw him into the supreme judge contest, but without success. ‘He will have nothi to say or do in with the matter, an herein again he evinces his good jugd- ment. THE SUPREME JUDGESHIP is hotly contested. In Des Moines township, which comprises the west half of the city, there was a direct contest for and against Judge Day, and a large vote was polled. The anti-Day ticket won by & majority of 261 in a tofal vote of D04, The county may therefore be set down for McDill. John N. Rogers of Daven- port positively refuses to permit his name to be used as a candidate for supreme judge. Ho has been mentioned quite prominently, and is one of the ablest Jurists in the state. The indications are that Judge McDill will get it, though the friends of Judge Reed of Council Blufs are coming to the front strong. They will join issues squarely with the friends of Lieut. Gov. Manning, and claim there is no precedent in the history of the party for giving that office two terms to the same person. But they will have to contend with one of the most popular men who has held the place. RAILROAD TALK. It is rumored that the I, B. & W. is backing the Central Iowa for a Union Pacific connection at Council Bluffs. The Central is only waiting the completion of thebridge across the Mississippi at Keiths- burg to have an unbroken line from Peo- ria to Oskaloosa. The 1., B. & W. con- nects with it at Peoria, and, it is under- stood, will join the Central in extending that road from Oskaloosa to the Bluffs, The wholesale merchants of this state complained to the railroad commissioners that the rules of the railroad companies for charges for excess of baggage were unreasonable and excessive. The board hold that railroad companies are not obliged to carry sample trunks of travel- ing wen on passenger trains at all if the weight is in excess of ordinary baggage; that such trunks are pmpur{ fl‘clgfll, and may be confined to freight trains. If carried on passenger trains, the com- panies are enlitled to the same rates as are charged by express companies for freight carried on passenger trains. The rules of the companies a8 fo excess bag- gage are not excessive nor unreasonable. THE BARBED WIRE MONOPOLY, The barbed wire monopoly have taken a new departure. Probably worried by the rocent decisions of Judges Treat and McCrary, of the federal court, and the numerous actions since begun by licensees, who refuse to pay further royalties, they have given notice of a reduction of the price of wire to 6} cents per pound, or a decline of nearly 20 per cent. One of the most l(nrmi(flblc contestants of this monopoly is the Iowa Farmers' Protec- tive association, which has been making wire right along, refusing to pay license, and selling wire nearly 3 cents a pound less than the monopoly. This association says it is ready tomeet the drop in prices, and then make a profit. It is evident the monopoly is badly wounded. The farmers can stand it. LOCOMOTIVE FIRES, The board of railroad commissioners haye just decided a case of interest to farmers and railroad companies, Oct. 20 Engine 5 set a fire to cutand dried ls weeds along the track near Esterville, Emmet county, on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern road. The fire ran north fifteen miles into Minnesota, when the wind changed and drove it back, des- trying property of A. N, Haskins valued at $144.75, three miles southeast of where the fire started; for which he asks compensation, and sets up the statute which says any railroad corporation shall be liable for all damages by fire that is set or caused by the operatingof anysuchroad, The board hold that, under the language of the statute, a company would be liable for any damage, however remote, and that lack of negligence cannot be shown. They, hold that the company may show that they were guilty of no_contributory negligence within their right of way, and if the fire is set by sparks from a locomotive outside of their right of way, without any fault of the company, the company would not be liable, In this case the fire started in dry weeds within Gov. Sherman early in_the year, appears | cost of many thousand dollars. This board is taking the place of the courts in nearly all matters between the people and the railronds. A GALVANIZED COFFIN.

I think it ought now to treat them just the same as it did the south after the " rebellion.

RIS RS ey IN CAPTIVITY, Mexican Women Tell the Story of Their Sufferings, Special to the San Francisco Call, T., June 18.—The five and one child recaptured from the Apaches by General Crook and brought here are now in charge of Consul Tuleli, who has telegraphed his govern- ment for instructions as to what disposi- tion to make of them. They are from the city of Chihuahua, and are wives of soldiers in the Mexican army. The com- mand to which their husbands were at- tached had been stationed three hundred miles northwest of the ¢ity of Chihuahua, at a place on the Mexican frontier named El Carmen. The troops had been ordered home, and the women followed their husbands at a distance of about two days’ journey, travelling on foot. On the 10th of May they were surprised by a band of Apaches under the personal com- mand of Geronimo. The Indians sud- denly rose up from behind rocks and bushes. The women were greatly fright- ened and began to scream, when a Mexi- can captive named Jose, who had lon NE 25, 1883, ervation at the time have ever | o8 This | 3¢ continually moving. They traveled nearly 100 miles a day, going in every direction, but tending generally nearly westward. The captives were abused and maltreated in every possible manner. They were made to work heavily when eamp was made, and were a general object of abuse and ridicule, he In- dians would take up Mrs. Hernandez's little boy, threaten to kill him, and would throw stones at him to the great mental anguish of his mother. One of the women was sent as a hostage of some sort to Chihuahua to make peace. The ex- | 'umurol cold, thirst, famine and ex- hausted from travel and fear of torture was having an effect on the poor women. The first thing they knew they were hustled one day further into the momntains, The next day a brother of chief Chatte delivered them up to General Crook. As one of them sed herself when she saw General Crook and the soldiers: *“It soemed as if the sky opened and heaven appeared.” Their pitiable condition drew deeply on the sympathios of the hrave Doys in blue, and they did everything in their power to alloviate the sufferings of the women, A mule was given each woman to ride. This was one reason of the slow return of General Crook’s com- mand. The women eannot find words to express themselves for the gratitude they felt towards the Ameriean soldiers, When the women started on the toilsome journey on foot, 300 miles from EI Car- men to Chihuahua, to follow their hus- bands home, they had no idea there were Indians on the road, thinklng they were all in the mountains to the north, ~ They have not seen their husbands for over six weeks, —— TELEGRAPH NOTES, Special Dispatchos to T Br.

They were anxious to know t!fw number of Mexican soldiers, their where- abouts and intentions, to all of which the women answered as they could. There was another woman with them at this time, whom the Indians subsequently sent to Chihuahua for peace, as they said. The Indians, with their captives, travelled incessantly the remainder of that day and all night. The place where they were captured - is known as Cerritos Cuates, and is half-way between El Car- men and Plan del Elamo, They ealeu- lated that the next morning after the capture they were at least 100 miles dis- tant, u...u.,rlv. they cannot tell in which direction. For three days they were without water, but after that it was found in abundance. The country through which they pussed was wild beyond des- cription. ~ At times they were compelled to crawl upon all fours, Their thirst for the first three days nearly drove them crazy, and the Indians would whip and lash them up, and compel them to travel. Toward the last of their captivity their food commenced giving out, and they were put upon rations, a_small piece of raw beof being all that was given them. This had to be divided among the si Mrs. Antonis Hernandez all this time carried her little child in her arms. The Indian children took great pleasure in tormenting him, pinching him, and jab- bing sharp sticks in his sides, giving him great pain. When they remonstrated, Geronimo or his men only laughed at her misery, The last two days of their cap- tivity they had no food™ at all, here was snow on the mountains. The eold was intense, and THE WOMEN SUFFERED GREATLY, almost freezing, The Indians never re- mained quiet in one spot & day, but were New York, June 24,-—Arrived—The Arizonia and Furnessis from Liverpool, A Reception to Egan. Special Dispatch to Tix Brx. 8r. Louts, June 24.—The reception given Patrick Egan to-night was well at- tended. Egan made a brief speech ack- nowledging the compliment and exhort- ing all to stand by the national league. A notable feature of the occasion was the prolonged hissing of Judge Jno, H, O'Neil when in aspeech he deprecated secret societies and denounced the mur- der of Lord Cavenaish, | — IMMENSE ENGINES, The Iron Horse Used on the Central Pacific Road. The increase of travel over the Pacific railways has brought about the intro- druction of larger locomotives from time to time, until the common freight or pas- senger engine of to-day is doing the work of two engines such as was in use a dozen years ago. The Central Pacific company have built a class of ten wheelers, eight of which are constructed after patterns and drawings prepared by A. 8. Stevens, superintendent of the wmotive depart- ment of the Central Pacific. These en- gines possesses the novelty of having all the machinery located outside, so that under the boiler there is nothin, except the axles. A new an novel valve motion is operated by the crank pins, doing away with cams, while a ves important fea- ture is that of double valves, one at each end of the cylinder, so operated as to use steam most economically and secure full benefit of its power. These engines weigh 73 tons empty, and 80 tons steamed up. One is.on exhibition at the Chie position-of Railway Appliances, and is attracting much attention. In use on the Sierras, they take twelve cars over the heaviest grades, while seven is a load for common engines, he | are no longer available for use. THE CREAT FLOOB. The Mississippi Still Booming Over Banks and Dykes. Enormous Interests Flooded and Threatened Above and Below St. Louis—News From Other Points, Special Dispatch to Tim Brx. St. Lous, June 24.—The river is ris- ing more slowly than heretofore. The flooded district, in the northern part of the city, presents about the same aj pear- anco it s for savoral days past; - 1 the lumber district large gangs of men are ing on the levees and dykes. A rise of another foot will inundate all the Tumber yards. At Alton Slough, ‘twenty miles above here, among the islands in the Mississippi, sawed boards in rafts are moored. While the slough is a reasona- bly secure place, considerable apprehen- sion is felt fm the rafts break loose and. sweep down. In East St. Louis proper the situation is the same as yesterday, Boyman dyke is still intact and profects the business part of the city, but outside there is nothing but a watery waste, This after- noon the water \‘\'fli(‘]\ broke through Madison dyke yesterday reached a point. a short distance above Venice, and broke a fearful crevasse in the Chicago & Alton embankment. About 600 feet of the track seemed to sink and disappear in an instant. The gap has been widening over since. anllul with this embank- ment runs the Indianapolis & St. Louis and Wabash tracks, which could not with- stand the terrible current. They also went. down in quick succession, cutting off all direct mh connection with the north. The water is now spreading all over the bottom lands of the old Ohio & Miss- issippi embankment, which érosses the bottom between St. Louisand Caseyville. Probably no efforts will be made to re- pair the embarkments until the water re- col(‘]‘u.

Trains from the north and east are made up at the latter X The Wabash will use the Vandalia and Illinois Central lines to Decatur, where where they use their own road. The break in the Chicago & Altontrack has flooded nearly all the eastern part of Venice, and forced many families to va- cate their houses. A considerable of the town west of the Chicago & Alton track, which runs directly through the place, is also submerged. The Venice and Enterprise elevators are closed and the stock yards on the bank of the river The amount of flooded farm land on the American bottoms, north of East St. Louis, is said to be 15,000 acres, and the loss to crops is computed at not less than $200,000. At East Carondelet, 6 miles below, on the Illinois side, fully three-fourths of the families in town are quartered in three school hoy and a few residences onthe ri hfih . Most. of these pg‘;pl i‘ma condition, Froua this point to the blufts and for 4 miles south to the end of the county is entirely submerged and presents a scene of deso- lation and ruin, Had the flood held back two weeks longer farmers could have saved most of the wheat and pota- toes. Now both are lost and the farmers are nearly ruined. The little town of Oahokie, a short distancefrom Carondelet, is allunder wrter. The inhabitants move about only in skiffs. Fully 10,000 acres of wheat alone is from two to six feet under water in thiy section and as much more of corn, potatoes, and other crops submerged, causing a loss of $200,000. It is stated the St. Louis, Cairo and Belt roads have been damaged fully £50,000. Creve Coeur Lane, twenty miles west of here, which came into prominence as a rowing course last season, has flooded its left bank, doing great damage. The im- mense ice houso of the Creve Coeur Ice company, was undermined and fell; loss, §40,000, Other property sustained con- siderable damage. The chief apprehension to-night is that the Vandalia road, which is north of the Ohio & Mississippi, will be flooded. The Ohio & Mississippi is above the flood line of 1844, and no apprehension is felt for it. The river roso three inches here to-day, marking thirty-seven feet seven inches to-night. Reports say nearly all the bottom land along the Mississippi between here and Cairo is inun 3 The loss of crops amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars. e A Minstrel's Funeral.
