THE OmMAHA [——— TETNATNATINC NN A L DAiLy BEE THIRTEENTH YEAR. THE PRESIDENGY. An Unusnally Interesting Bateh of “Beg " Spectals on the Sitnation. A Good Deal of Guess Work that Remains to be Proven.

Says Blaine's Nomination is Impossible, His Surety on Pennsylvania’s De= legates not Certain to Bet On, Blaine's Friends Claiming a Large Following in the South.

THE PRESIDENCY, ARTHUR, Special Dispatch to the B, WasniNaTox, May 25.—1It is claimed at the white house that Arthur is sure of 356 votes on the first ballot, The tablos published in some papers giving him 375 votes on the first ballot are mot pro- nounced correct. In addition to the votes which the president expects to get on the firat ballot, he has a list of 74 delegates checked off as sure to vote for him on the second ballot. TILDEN Au editorial in the New York Sun in favor of tendering Tilden the demo- cratic Presidential nomination is the sub- ject of a good deal of talk among the democrais in congress. It is generally admitted that the Sun speaks for Tilden and it is taken to mean that he wants the nomination, A democratic senator said to-day that, from all that he had been able to gather, he had no doubt of Tilden’s desire to run. The belief that Tilden will be nominated prevails among the democrats in congress now. BLACK JACK'S RIGHT HAND BOWER, Special Dispatch to THE BEE, WasniNgroN, May 25 —Senator Logan has decided not to attend the Chicago convention, but Mrs. Logan will go in his place. He pretends to be quite n- dignant at the reports of his inten- tion to be on hnad there, but it is, nevertheless, a fact he has secured a private car and invited Senator Cullom, General Raum, and others to accompany him, SHERMAN, Special Dispatch to the Beg, Corumsus, O., May 25, —In a leuer to & business man of this city, Senator Sherman says he does not rogard his nomination as probable, but is prepared, in case it does come. He thinks if the Ohio delegation were entirely united for him, they could nominate him easily. A-HA! A TRIUMVIR FOR THE PLUMB, are their figures: First ballot, 3540; second, 386; and third, the solid vote of Ohio and Illinois in addition, It is claimed that a delegation of Blaine men from the southern states are going to Chicago and willopen headquartoers chere, with the expectation of securing & good many delegates from that se:tion. 1t is said they already have 16 in Texas, 4 in Arkansas, 2 in <labama, 1 in Mississippi, 6 in Georgia, 10 in Tennessee, 4 in Kin tucky, 5 in North Carolina, 10 in Mis souri, and all but 2 of the Maryland dele gation. They claim the ANTI-MAHONE DELEGATION from Virginia will be admitted to the convention by the combined votes of the Blaine and Logan men, and of those, 24 delegates are included in the 340 claimed for Blaine. All of this, of course, is the most extravagant bluster, and goes on the principle of claiming every thing in advance in the hope of winning over the trimmers. The Blaine men concede Ar thur 280 votes. Edmunds 87, Logan G4 and Sherman DO DICTUM, IT WILL NOT BE FOR BLAINE. Special to Tur Brk, New York, May 25.—The reappear- ance of Don Cameron at this time has been variously constraed, but no ove has yet been ablo to say positively in whose interest he will exert hisinfluence Colonel F. A. Burr, whois close to the Cameron machine, is of the opinion that the senator will simply do what he can to hold the delegation in check, to be used at the proper time for the candidate thought to be the most available. ** WILL IT BE BLAINE?” “No,"” he replied; ‘“‘and I am quite sure the Blaine strength at Chicazo will be barren of ideality, so far as Pennsyl- vania is concerne There is a curious condition of things in that state. The situation is about as follows: Blaine has much decided strength, partly because Pennsylvania is his birthplace. The delegates instructed to vote for him will be divided into two factions—those who intend to vote for Blaine so long as he is in the field, and those who will take the earliest opportunity to change. This, of course, makes the delegation an easy one to have in hand WHEN THE BREAK COM and the Camerons will be equal to the oc- casion, 1 presumo on first ballot Blaine will get two-thirds of the delegation, but the claim that he can hold this against odds first, last, and all time is preposter- ous. The statement that he controls the delegates at large is also a mistake, for 1 know positively threo of the four are against him. If he holds twenty of the delegates through thick and thin, it will surprise me. The ABROGATION OF THE UNIT RULE is not in his favor, and especially with Cameron as an unknown quantity in the calculation. I can safely say the senator bas not yet decided whom to support. He wants a few days for consultation.” ‘‘WE SHOULD REMARK."” Special Dispatch to The Ree. New York, May 25.—A gentleman who met ex Governor Foster, of Ohio, in New York yesterday says he expressed hig surprise at the enthusiasm he had found in that city for Arthur, and said he had no more doubt as to the ability of the president to carry New York. WASHINGTON NOTES. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC GRANTS. WasHixGroN, May 24.—The senate committee on public lands to-day decid- ed to report the bills forfeiting the land grants opposite the uncompleted portions of the Northern Pacific main and branch lines and the Atlantic & Pacific railroads. Senator Plumb, chairman of the commit- tee, says it is impossible to calculate the number of acres involved, as in both cases some land was taken up bafore the charter was granted, and in the case of the Atlantic & Pacific the road was not constructed in the line contemplated. Nominally, the senator thinks the for- feiture ot the Northern Pacific will amount to 13,000,000 acres. Senator Slater, who is the author of the bill pro- viding for the forfeiture of the land grants of the Northern Pacific railroad. says the actusl number of acres forfeited along the line will be about 7,000,000, which is 30,000,000 acres less than pro- posed by the house committes on_public lands. Slater's bill further provides that the lien lands hereafter selocted, if ac- cepted by bona fide settlers, shall be sold for $1.25 per acre for 160 acres. THE CONGRESSIONAL LOG, WASHINGTON, May 25— To-morrow’s session of the house will probably be de- voted to the consideration of the Wal- lace-M :Kinley contested election case. A final vote upon it, however, is not ex- pected before Tuesday. Representative Willis intends to call up the river and harbor appropriation bill whenever the election contest is out of the way, and Randall says he will ask the house to en- tor upon the consideration of the legis- lative, executive and judicial appropria- tion bill as soon as the river and harbor bill is disposed of. Itis estimated the latter will consume about three days. LOUISIANAROHY, THE TROUBLE IN NEW IBERIA. New Onreans, May 24, —To-day the adjutant general ordered a battalion of Washington artillery and a battalion of | Louisiana field artillery to hold them- selves in readiness to move at a moment’s notice to the scene of trouble at Now Iberia. The military, however, has not yet been ordervd to move. It is under- OMATL stood that constderable excitement in Now Iberia is growing out of the CONTEST FOR JUDGESHIP of the twenty-first judicial district, Gates olaiming to have been elected over Fon. tinellean, the present incumbent. This is one of the cases referred to in the reso- lations adopted by the republican state central committeo. Last week the state committee, in considering the petition and memorinl of Gates, reported im- peaching Fontinelleau, who is a republi- can. Gates after much delay and manip- ulating of votes, was declared elected at the recont election. As showing how this result was brought about, Fontinell eau’s friends claim at one precinet known as Bayou Pigeon, which at the date of the election was over flowed, and eloction officers made no provision for an election there, as no voting has ever been dono at that point, the fifteen or twenty VOTERS residing in that scetion having heretofore voted elsewhere. At the last election, however, they decided themselves t» hola an election, andreturned nearly 900 votes from that precinet for Gates,thus clecting him. Fontinelleau’s friends declaro they will not allow Gates to preside in the dis- trict, and atato the authorities have de términed to seat Gates by force if necess sary. One hundred men of the Washington artillery start to-morrow with one fiold piece and snall arms to Judge Gates, at New TIberia. Communication by wire with Baton Rouge is cut off to-night. EXAGGERATED, New Orteans, May 24 —The Times- Democerat special from New b says: It seems tho reports concerning the po- litical situation in this and adjoining par-: ishes are very much exaggerated. So far there lias been no disturbance except that of a few weeks ago, when a crowd of hoodlums, composed of Fontinelleau's backers, paraled the streets, firing can- ons and pistols, and m.king threats that they would spill the last drop of their blood in seating Fontinelleau. The past two weeks have been quiet, butall sorts of rumors are afloat—one to the effect that Fontinelleau is ORGANIZING THE N s to defend him and help resist the seat- ing of Gates. Exciting rumors ran_high the past few days, the canse of which is supposed to be the forming of a mili- tary company. In St. Martin’s parish things are about the same a8 here. An attempt yesterday to burn the court house at St. Martin’s parish caused some commotion. There is a groat deal of talk throughout both parishes of an incendiary cluracter. The object of firing the court house is unknown. = Little damage done. The rumors have greatly damaged busi- ness in Now Iberia. Country people are afraid to come to town, thinking a war is going on, THE REPUBLICAN RESOLUTIONS, NEw Onieass, May 24.—The repub- lican state central committee to-day adopted the following : Resolved : That this committee place the s0al of condemnation upon the method em- ployed in some parishes of this state to defeat the will of the people and the candidates duty and legally ele potally in the Ninthand Tywenty-first judiciil distii ts, and that a com- mitte be appointed to collate evid:.nce and make a report on the same and give it such publicity as in their judgment they may sce proper. N A resolution was also adopted declaring that it is the sense of the state central committeo that all the republican mem- bers of the legislaturo use their best efforts tu secure at the same time an in- vestigation of the frauds committed in behalf of the demoratic party at -the late general election. WANTED—A PLATFORM, DEMOCRATS WHO WANTS SOME PRINCIPLES, WasniNaroN, May 25.—The Post will print interviens with eighty-two demo- cratic members of the house of represen- tatives in support of the demand that a clear and explicit statement of principles absolutely committing the dvmocratic party to the issue of revenue reform in the presidential canvass shall bo made by the Chicago convention of July. Awmong those interviewed are Carlisle, Morrison, Hewitt, Rosencrans, Hurd, Slocum, Cox (N. Y.), Holman, Buckner and Black- burn. ~ The latter says they look to the convention for a vindication of the con- test made at this session for tariff reforms, BEN BUTLER, LIKELY TO TAKE ANOTHER BALD SCALP. BosroN, Muy 23 —The Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine and New Hamp- shire delegates to the greenback national convention left Boston to-night for In- dianapolis.

The child awoke and ecreamed, which awakened, the father who rushed into the room. While he was caring for the child the wife went back to her own room, lay down on the bed beside her dead babies and ent her own throat. Gazing a moment at the ghastly sight— his two dead children and his wife—he rushed out and for aid. A policeman was just at the door, who entered the house and took the razor from the hand of the woman, who was now insensible and bathed in blood. A physician was immediately called who restored tha woman to consciousness and dressed her wounds, which proved 1ot to be necessa- rily fatal, neither the jugular vein nor her wind pipe being severed. The child Emma will recover but the two babies are dead and there is little or no hope for the mother. A CRAZED WIFE'S DRUTALITY. Bowrixe Greex, Ky., May 25.—Geo.

Ex-Governor Stantord and Wife Still Buaried in Grief Over their Boy's Death - Still Uninte a— Thelr Plans in His Memory. WasmiNaroN, May 26, — A society writer in the Sunday Herald says : Ex- Governor Stanford, of California, and his wife say to their intimate friends that they are still absorbed by their grief for thoe death of their only son. They keep his body in a casket in a privato room connected with Grace church, in New York, and visit it caily and read their bible and pray beside the casket. They will not bury the body until they take it to California, and place it in a costly mausoleum they are having erected for it in their ranch at Palo Alto, in memery of their dead son. They will give 4,000 acres of this ranch to the state of Cali- fornia. This is to be used for educational purposes, as it was the earnest wish of this youth, young as he was, to found a school for California boys, where the studies hefound most congeninl—geology, mineralogy, and archwology—would be specially taught. He had advanced very far in these hranches, although he was but 16 years old when he died of Roman fovers. ANDREWS’ Given .

GERMANY SAVS IT MUST GO, Special Dispatch to the Bee, Loxpoy, May 20.—A crusade against piano playing has begun in Berlin, The promoters of the crusade have circu- lated potitions for signatures in all the residence portions of the city, and the pe- titions, which have a very large number of signors, are now being presented to tho municipsl and police authorities. They sot forth that the constant and MONOTONOUS PRACTICING OF THE SCALRS and oxercises by piano pupils has become an intolerable nuisance, causing much suffering to invalids, aggravating all forms of nervous diseases, and depreciat- ing the valuo of real ostate. They there- fore claim it is a proper subject for police regulation, and pray that municipal or- dinances be enacted restricting the time of piano playing and practicing to the hours between 11 a, m. and 12 noon and botween 8 and 11 p. m. SMAUL POX, TS RAVAGES IN ENGLAND, Special Dispatch to THE Brg. LoNpo, May 20.—This city is threat- ened with asmall pox scare. The mala- dy is alarmingly prevalent in several met- ropolitan districts, and is spreading from the city to adjoining provinces, several of which are already badly infectel. Some idea of the present prevalence of the plague may be formed from the MAGNITUDE OF THE EFFORTS which have already been forced upon the authorities to control the disease. The city of London alone, since the start of the plague last November, has expended $250,000 for additional accommodations for the constantly increasing number of the afflicted. It 18 now proposed to erect new metropolitan small pox hospitals at a cost of 8760,000. THE ANTI VACCINATIONISTS are making capital out: of the scourge by pointing to its prevalence and steady spread as an unanswerable proof of the futility of vaccination as a preventative. The regular practicioners are becoming alarmed. They denounce the anti vac- cmationists as onemies to public health, and insist that the energetic preaching of their, propaganda is a prolific cause of the epread of thescourge, because it weakens the faith of the poorer classes in vaccina- tion. VANDERBILT. HIS ANTICS IN LONDON, Special Dispateh to the BEE. LonnoN, May 26.—Wm. H. Vander- bilt was seen walking with James Gor- dan Bennett on Fleet street Thursday. The pair were closely followed by a bevy of newspaper reporters. All their efforts to interview him were fruitless, as Van- derbilt suddenly and mysteriously disap- peared. To-day he camo to the surface again, and, accompanied by J. P. Bige- low, quietly strolled down the Strand. The day was the hottest of the season, and Vanderbilt succeeded in making himself remarkably conspicuous by wear- ing a heavy overcoat, and Bigelow was uncomfertably nervous at the unusual attention attracted toward his bulky and heavily clad companion. Passers-by smiled and bootblacks piped their merry chaff, and the whole street turned and looked at the perspiring millionaire as he made his way. fligo\ow finally became impatient, called a cab, and the two dis- appeared, Vanderbilt has succeeded in eluding intrusion by the curious. Heis not registered at any of the leading hotels, HOOIALISTS STEAL A MARCH, Special Dispatch to Tre Bxe. Lonpon, May 26,—A socialistic eut- rage is reported from Munich. The Ba- varian veterans of the Franco-German war made extensive preparation for & featival in celebration of the thirteenth mnivemr‘ of Germany's defeat of France, The city was extensively dec- orated, and the German colors ooccupied the posts of honor, During the night the socialists removed the German col- ors, substituting therefor the red of the revolutionists, inscribed wil such mottoes as *‘Cheers for tho Social Democracy,” aud “‘Down with the Slay-~ ers of the People,” 1o the morning, when the revolutionary flags and mot- toes were discovered, there was great in- dignation, The offensive decorations were torn down, and the German colors restored by the police amid the cheers of the immense crowds of people.
