P - THE OMAHA DALY BEE FIFTEENTH YEAR. “CARLAND'S CHIME. Itis Played fo the Tune of Whitney's Plaintive $3ng, John Roach is P#jueathed Com= plete Title to the Dolphin, The Attorney-General Holds That tho Qontract is Forfeited and the Government Oan Recover, THE DOLPHIN OAME. GARLAND SUSTAIKS WHITKEY, ‘WasHINGTON, July 12, —Atterney General Garland has rendered a decision on the three points relative to the acceptance of the Dol- phin by the government, submitted to him by Secretary Whitney, The attorney general holds that the vessel cannot be accepted; that no contract exista between John Roach and the governmnt, and that the Iarge sum of money pad to him for the vessel may be recovered. Garland says: “This vessel, you inform me, has been found to be defective in three particulars, two of which are fundamental, that is to say: “1—She does not develop the power and speed which the contract calls for, *2—8he is not etaunch and stiff enough for th ice expectod of her. —Theo general character of her workman- ship does 1ot comeup to the requirements of the contract, **As to defict in the article of epeed the act of congress under which the vessel was built ‘makes an appropriation for the construction of one dilrltch boat a8 recommended by the naval advisary toard in the report of De- cember 20, 1882, Upon reference to that re- port 1t will be found the board recommended the constiuction of ono dispatch vessel or clipper to have a sea speed of fifteen knots and I take it as very clear that the recom- mendation became by force of the reference to it as much a part of the statute as though it had been recited therein word for word. The contract contains no express covenant aj to the speed of the vessel unless one is neces- sarily involved in the stipulation for a collect- ive indicated horse-power of 2,300, but its very first covenant is ‘to construct a dispatch koat in conformity with the aforeeaid plans and specifications hereto annexed - and in accordauce with the provieions of tho nots of congress as approved August 5th and March 8rd, 1883, respectfully befors gmentioned and r g thereto and T am of the opinion that this covemant bound tho coutractors as _effectively to make a ship of sea speed of fifteen knots as though ho had agreed to do o in expross words,” The Dolphin not being constituted in con- formity with the act of congress in this re- epoct, the attorney-general asserts that it would seem to follow that nothing short of an act of congress could authorize her acceptance Next considering the objection that the ves- el is wanting in necessary strength and stiff- nese, the a‘torney general says, *‘If this de- fect exist, as 1 must assume, it is fatal, whether due to the plans upon which the vessel was built or not, because by the ninth clause of the contract the contractor and his sureties etipulate that the vessel constructed under this contract shall be sufficiently stron, to carry the armament, equipment, coal, stores and machinery prescribed by the naval lfl'ilol’g board.” Further codsidering this point the attorney- general remarks: *‘Manifestly, the Dnlrhln, which I am bound to assume in view of the report accompaning_your communications, if anything but_sufficlently strong cannot for s reason alone be accepted by you under the contract, the defect mentioned being fundimental in character, As to whether the gn:osmnaen: h: : bun‘ In woy way estopped by acts of acquiesence, approval, or nce by the advisory board or others, Tamof the opinion that the government stands unaffected by any such acts, This must be the ~ case necessarily if the law authorizing the building of the dispatch boat is to have effoct, Its language is that mosuch veasel shall be accepted unless completed in strict conformity with the contract, with the advice and assistance of the naval advisery ard, Consequently no acceptance of the vessel, not built in strict conformity with the contract could bind the goveinment, Continuing at considerable length and citing &rominonl cases in lnfpofl. of his argument arland concludes: *1t follows that no con- tract exists between Roach and the United Stater, and the large suma of money which have been paid Roach have passed into his sion witdout authority of law, and are eld by him as so much money held and recelved to the use of the United States and may be recovered from him, And not only so but the money thus paid him by of- ficials holding a fiduciary relation to the gov- ernment haying gone into the ehip Dolphin a court of equity will follow it there and for that purpose entertain & proceeding against the ship iteelf, In support of this position 1 need do no more than cite a recent decision of the supreme court of the Umted States in tho case of the natlonal bank ve. insurance company. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL, CONSULAR APPOINTMENTS DEFERROD—SPAIN'S SPUNK IS UP—NOTES, Special Telegram to The Bex, Wasuivatos, July 12.—Those gentlemen wha are watching and praying for consular appointments are not likely, except in very exceptional eases, to obtain the coveted priza until sutumn, The famly afiliction which bas visited Secootary Bayard, the shadows of which are deepening into a funeral pall, will prevent him from doiog much for the re lief of aspirants for foreign appointments for sometime, Inthe mean time, the presidentwil turn his back upon Washington and office- seekers abont August 1, and will not return until the first days in September, so that va- rious clerks charged with the preparation of appointment papers and commissions will have ample time to catch up and get rested for the fall and winter cawpaign. The ap- pointments thus far made in the foreign ser- vice have not reduced the number of applica- tiona. Indeed, for every :A)émlutmant that has bsen made, a soore of additional appiica tions have been received, so that the number of applications now on file Is not far from ten thousand, _ Tt is said that Col. John W, Foster, who represents this government in Spain, hes failed to negotiate the second commercial treaty between that country and the United States. He is expected to return home at an early date. Koster was sent to Spain tw months a¢o with instructions to negotiate a new commercial treaty in place of the one he bad previously negotiated, and which was considered by the senate. ‘The propos:d new treaty, as agreed to by the new admin Istration id not differ greatly from the first treaty, The charges made were in the intercsts of the business men of this country and were principally in relation to tobacco, The Spanish officials have not looked favorably upon & sccond treaty. The winister of forelgn sifairs_especially was in- disposed to megotiate. He intimated that the first creaty should have had final coneid- eration by the senate—either ratified or re- jected and not withdrawn before final 1 action was taken. Under the circumstances the :invarnmwt could ot conslder the negotia- ons, M, Stevenson, the new first asistant post- master-general has been compelled to revive the rule practiced by his predecessor limiting the time for receivimg visitors to houra be- tween 10 and 12 daily, The adoption of this course secures an opportunity to attend to the business of tho office. Siuce Stevenson sssumed the duties he has been at his desk almost every night uatil midnight, The re- sult ofihis labors is apparent in the great in- crease In the numbar of fourth class postoftice Appointments —now hundred per day, There is a disposition on the part of cabinet officers to discontinue the allowance of sick leaves under pay to employes in the depart- ments, An impression prevails that serious abuses have grown up in connection with the allowance ofluch leaves, and it is belleved that the system shonld be rearranged so as to averaging above ome enable a distribution among worthy employes ~who are working extra through- out the year, of the money that is now paid out during sick leaves to that class of em- ployes who lose many days, sometimes ex eeding 150 in each year from alleged disabili- ty. 1tis probable that these views may take practical effect in a general order governing the allowance of leaves in all executive departments, Admiral Jouett, who has been in the vicini- ty of Panama for the past thres months, has been ordered north with the remaining vessels sont to the isthmus at the beginning of the recent troubles, The officers and crew have been suffering from sickness, Brigadier Gen. John Gibbon has been ae signed to the command of the department of the Columbia and ordered to Vancouver bar- racks, Secretary Endicott left Washinaton tonlg ht for New York to b in attendance to-morrow at the meeting in that city of the_ board ap- pointed to examine the means of defense for the ccuntry and to report concerning addi- tional fortifications, The Columbian minister at Washington, re- coived to-day @ telegram from Bogota an- nouncing that the rebals of Barringuilla, per- isting in a determiaation to ascend the Mag- dalena river, had been completely routed at Oalamar, Their fleet of sixteen veesels suf- rered conslderable damage through the explo- sion of one which was Iaden with ammunition, Almost all the revolutionary leaders are sup- posed to have been killed or seriously wound- ed. Ttisbelieved the explosion was caused by a shot from_the government troops, Secretary Whitney sent an order to Cap- tain Kirksland, of the New York navy yard, providing for the appointment of o board_to conduct an examination of fpersons applying appointment to various foremanships in the yard. Accompanying the order in a lettor in which the secretary desires to impress upon the captain the necessity of pood, thorough workmen, and says in impor— tant cases he (the secretary), will give all necessary personal attention to them, and continues by eaying: “Itisidle to expect liberal appropriatsons for the navy yard work unless a great change is made in the character of the foremen gp- ointed,” He also eays he desires a new orce appointed and expects, for very good cause, an exceptional record in the navy yard, He shall not appoint a foreman whose habits have been formed through the navy yard work of recent years, Secretary Endicott to-day ordared throereg- iments ofcavalry and the Fourth® infantry, total force of nearly three thousand men, to chesd at once to the vicinity of Fort Reno, ‘ndian Territory, from their present gtations in the departments of Texas and the Platte. This will make the force about four thousand men in the territory. e — FOUGHT FOR A GIRL, EIGHT ROUNDS WITH BARE KNUCKLES BETWREN RIVAL LOVERS, Evaxsviiie, Ind,, July 12,—Evansville is inclined to be somewhat of a sleepy town, al- ways taking an interest in sporting news, but not attempting to encourage anything of that character in her mtdst, The news, therefore, that a fight with bare knuckles was to take place just beyond her borders craated no lit- tlo excitement among the lovers of the manly art and numerous were the attempts to get pointers regarding the place of ‘meeting, but those initiated fought shy of giving information feariog pulice interference, The night owls and rounders may have been mystified early yesterday morning by meeting several couples and trios of men sauntraing out First street en route for Green River island, where the fight between Chsrles Harding and James 'ownsend, to suttle the right to the hand and heart of Miss Sadie Corning, a country belle, took place, There were perhaps about twenty-five parsons in the crowd. Abouta mlle and a half from the city the party were joined by the principals, each accompanied by a few friends, After a count of noses, to be sure that no uninvited and unwelcome officers were prosent, th party entered _their 'busses, which were in attendance, and drove rapidly up the river, At2:30 Green River island was reached and in a few moments more several skiffs were en route for the ecene of the mill. The site selected is densely wooded and proved an admirable place for the nluffllng match, The fight, zccording to articles of sgreewment, signed 1n this city on Wednesday last, was for the heart and hand of Miss Sadie Corning, to whom both had been paying attentions, and was to last to a finish, A twelve-foot ring was pitched and all pro- liminaries made, and at 4:40 the men took positions in the ring, Hank Roberts seconded Harding, and Billy Taylor attended to Town- send, The referee was a noted local sporting man, Harding tipped the besm at 126 pounds, while Townsend was a trifle heavier, At 4:45 time was called, First round—Both men came up rapidly, bat sparred awkwardly and cautiously, each seeming to dread tga first blow, Finall: Harding got 1n a neat blow on Townsend’s ‘‘smeller” and escaped & return, Townsend let zo his right, but fell short and received a right-hander in the face that staggered him, He recovered rapidly and made a rush, catching Harding on the right eye, which sent the lattor on the ropes, Both men clinched, and time was called, Second round—The sesond round was marked by some quick, hard work and half- arm fightiog, in which Townsend had decid- edly the best of 1t, Harding was rapidly los- ing his ternper, and inclined to try a rough- and-tumble bout, A series of cfiltc).en en- sued, and both mea went down., Third round—Harding was slightly groggy and puffiog hard, and acted solely on the de- fensive, Townsend fonght desperately, and caught Harding heavily on the left eye with- out areaponse, and followed with a lick on the right optic, closing it up entirely, and then with a rush, knocked Harding clear across ths ring, Fourth round—1In the fourth round Harding had recovered himself slightly, and did some wicked worl, catching Townsend on the head and getting in some hard and terrific blows on the neck, faceand chest. The men clinched and wero ordered to their corners, . Fifth round—When the fifth round began it was uncertain who would win, though ‘Townsend was the favorite, Harding opened by a terrific drive in Townsend’s face, follow- ing it up with atching Mim under the chin and sending him to the ropes, Sixth round—The eixth round was but a repetition of the hot and heavy work of the previous rounds. Harding seeming to get stronger as the fight proceeded and striking some wicked and terrible blowa, Beventh round —Townsend’s face began to look smashed out of all semblance te a human aod when the eighth round was called he staggered up from his corner unsteadily and struck blindly snd wildly, In the entire round he failed to reach Harding, who, how- ever, forced the fighting and got in & quick, hard blow on Townsend'a neck, felling him like an ox and endiog the fight. It was fully balf an hour before the van lljullhldmlfl could be taken from the grounds, Soth men were badly punished and were any- thing but besuties to look upon, The party returned to the city about 7 o'clock, in the which they left it, iy nd going to their farms with their octor up. Hardig ssys that as 8000 as ho can see out of his right eye he will claim his bridv, s0 bravely won, and thinks Townsend will consent to be his best man, and Evansville, haviog had & taste of the maanly art, now howls for more. and Town nds to ———————— Olearing House Reports, BostoN, Mass., July 12,—The mavagers of the clearing houses reports that the total clearances for the week ending July 11th, were $762,897,016, an increase of § per cent as compared with the corresponding week of & year ago, OMAHA, MONDAY MOR NG, JULY 13, 1885.

His tone on domestic affairs was equally sedative. He repudiated with humorous indigoation the suggestion that the ministry wanted to postpone the general elaction. The effect of these declarations come out clearly in Giadatone's speach on the following night in the house of commons, nominally in reply to Sir Michael Hicks.Beach, but really a3 a comment on Lord Salisbury’s more | authoritive deliverance, _He confirmed all that Lord Salisbury said about Roglish pledges to the ameer and pledgea from Russia to abandon its claims to Zulfikar pass. Glad- stone beliaves that there is a serious difference between himself and Lord Salisbury even about Egypt. Gladstone _expressed surpriso at Lord Oarnarvon’s confidence in_his ability to govern Ireland without thoso valuable and equitable provisions of the crimes act, which the liberals intended to re-enact. He chaffed tho Teries with having enlistad Parnell’s help which the liberals had been un- able to secure but wished thom Godspeed in their career, He renewed his promise to support the government in every wise, effort. ‘ord Randolph Churchill evidently taken by surprise, offered the acknowledgements of the ministry for Mr. Gladstone’s considerate —even magnanimous treatment, Everything has gince gone smoothly, . The house agreed to the proposal o give the ministry all the nights but Friday., The con- viction is general that thete will bs no further conflict in the commons, both parties prefer- ring to appeal directly to the country., Sir Wiltrod, Liawson's proposed vote of censure of the ministry was laughed out uf the house. Lord Carnarvon’s announcement on Monday in the house of !ords that there would be no more coercion, preceded by twenty- four hours his state entry in Dublin, and_ insured him cordial * welcome. He carries out to & letter his pledge to trust to the Irish people, dispensing with police and military and police escorts in his walks and drives about Du This courageous faith produces the qest impression that conciliation is the order of the day, the tories as usual mmpinE the liberal card, Mr. Phelps’ latest pablic appearance was at luncheon as the guest of the government of Dulwich college, to meet the president and council of the royal demy, He made an obviously impromptu speach, which delighted :he“ company by its ease, wit and good feeling, Ghfishna will not, acquissce in the decision todrop the crofters bill, He will urge the passage of the bill this session.

THR SICK KAISER, Spacial Telegram to The Bik, Naw Yong, July 12.—A correspondent cabling from Emes says of the German kalser: At present the emperor is stronger, more active, and robust than any man of his age I know of, _ His plans are now to leave Fms ina fow days for Gastevin, and if,as is proba- ble, the emperor of Austria comes to that neighborhood, the two omperors will meet each other as usual. I have seen and been near the cmperor every day for the last fortnight, and notico the steady, continued improvoment in his health and strength.

Vanlts Contain the Largest Sarplns of Carrency on Record, Many Millions That 8hy Clear of! Avenues of Investment. The Balls Meanwhile Raise Prices on Prospects—Trunk Line Managers Begin to Show Signs of Life, IN GENERAL TRADE, A DEPRESSING OUTLOOK, Special Telegram to The Brk, New York, July 12,—A farther increase of the surplus of idle money held by New York banks lends interest to the statistics of some previons years when something like high water mark was reached, Currency has been moving from the interior during the week while disbursmeats by the government and on account of corporate dividends and interests have helped to swell the aceumulation, The state surplus is now nearly $64,000,000 against $28,863,000 on the corresponding date in 1884, and 88,617,000 in 1883, A week ago the excess over tho legal limlt was $61,607.000. It is worthy of noting that in January, 1884, the proportien money to deposits waa over thirty-nine per cent. Lear- ing this comparison in mind, it should be noted that while the present reserves are unprecedented, the stato of things at one or two previous dates are not far behind, while the reserves further accumulated, revoaling no fondness for investment on the part of the gunaml poblic, the Walletreet bulls have been aving things much their own way, The rise of prices has,been mainly based upon a better progpect of settling the trunk line difficulties, The managers of these lines give evidence of more energy than for months past in trying to effect a settlement. They see clearly that some sort of a treaty of peace must ba found oon, as otherwise the public wiil be likely to conclude that_the situation has passed per- manently beyond their control. It would not do to let sush a conclusion gain credence, as even the present low range of prices largely rests on the belief that the trunk line man- agers think peace can bs made and prices sent up at almost any time, The seaboard markets are at last wall stocked with new wools, Manufacturers now have desirable accumulations to select from, This has stimulated the demand to some ex- tent, and holders are pretty firm, Asa rule, the purchases have been o far in the producera favor. The strength of the trade in the in- terior appeara to be due In part to speculation; in part to the activity of some manufacturers in making direct purchases, ;and in part to a widespread oonviction that wool is to-dni a8 low as it can be for any length of time, whil the present clip is in the market. e TICKLED BY GROVER, GOVERNOR HOADLY AND THE UNION PACIET DIRECTORSHIP, Special Telegram to The Bek, CiNciNNati, O,, July 11, — Learner V.
