Cleveland's Visit to St. Lonis. WASHINGTON, June 8—|Special Telegram w the Bgk.| — Departmemt Commander Burke, of the G. A. R., speaking lo-day of the aeitation rajsed over the invitation ex- tended to President Cleveland to visit St Louls at the time of the G. A. R. encamp- ment, said: "It is an insult to the G. A. R. to say that it can or would insult the president. The G. A. R. will not insult the president nor permit any one else to do it.” The G. A. R., he said, was not a political organization. “Why,” he remarked, referring with a smile to himself, “‘the department commander of this department Is a democrat and has been one all his life. The man who is now spoken of as the one who will probably be the next commander-in-chief is a democrat. 1 speak of General Slocum. Many of the men that are the hardest hitters in the G. A. R., who have done the hardest work and made the greatest sacrifices on behalf of the union soldiers, their orphans and their widows, are democrats.” Mr. Burke said that the invita- tion to the president came from a committee of citizens of St. Louis, a committee that included some G. A. R. men, but were not acting for the G. A. R, The president was invited to come there b{ citizens of St. Louis iusl as the G. A. R. had been invited to hold heir encampment there, Then the Hendricks club of St.Louis,a political organization,came forward and undertook to arrange for a re- ception to the president, and this started the trouble. The citizens’ committee said that the occasion was not one for a politicaldlem- onstration, Stories were started that this visit of the president to St. Louls was one for political effect. There might have been some man In the G. A. R.who had made indiscrete remarks, but the matter of tho 1n- vitation to the president was one that the G. A. R. had nothing to do with at all. An Indian Dictionary. WASHINGTON, June 8.—|Special Tele- gram to the BEE. |—A new contribution to the literature of Indien tribes is a “Cheyenne History and Dictionary’”* prepared by Ben Clark, who has been for twenty years government interpreter at Cheyenne and Arapahoe agency in Indian Territory. The manuscript has been placed in the hands of General Sheridan and probably will be sub- mitted to Prof. Powell, of the bureau of ethnology, for examination. 1In a report to Sheridan Lieutenent Duryall, after makin| some criticisms of Clark’s treatment o some subjects, says of the dictionary proper: *'I have counted the words defined in the dictionary and found them to be 4,855 in ‘Cheyenne English,’ 2508 in English Chey- enne and 114 in the list of rivers, ete., in all nearly 8,000, Clark has shown himself a natural born lexicograpner. The fact that he alone has been able to tabulate nearly elght thousand words, all the meanings of which have been observed and noted by him- self, he having no predecessor, of itself shows what a peraistent worker he has been. Lis definitions are singularly clear.” Empire State Politics. W AsHINGTON, June & ~[Special Telegram to the BEE.|—Representative Merriman, a Cleveland democrat from Now York, is here and predicts a great any things good for the present administration. He says there Is very little political talk In New York just now, but that thereis a very bitter fizht going on quletly among New York republicans over Sherman'and Blaine. The Blaine men and Sherman men are struggling pretty hard for supremacy and it Is causing quite a commo- tion In Inner circles, though they keep up an external appearance of serenity. Ho says it 18 hard to judge what will be the outcomne, but that it looks now as if Cleveland would be the democratic candidate in 1888. He did not know whether Hill would be a candidate for the nomination or not. There is a differ- ence of opinivn nmong his friends. Some say he will be a candidate and will get the New York delegation; others of his close friends say he will not be s candidate at all, Speaklng of the outlook in congress during the coming session he says that hethinks there will be a reduction of the revenue this winter. He thinks that the tobacco tax will be repealed and that there will be some con- cessions made and a reduction of the tariff, Military Matters, WAsHINGTON, June 8,—[Special Telegram to the BEE.|]—First Lieutenant Dillard H, Clark, Fifteenth infantry, (recently regi- ‘mental quartermaster), has been ordered to join his company, A, at Fort Randall, Da- kota. Lieutenant Roger B. Bryan, Second cav- alry, has been ordered from Fort Walla ‘Walla, Wasnington territory, to duty with troop I (Cavtain Hamilton’s), at Fort Sher- man (old Fort Coeur d'Alene), ldaho. He belongs to troop F (Captain Swigert’s). Army leaves: Second Lieutenant P, H. Clarke, Tenth cavalry, has been granted four months’ extension on leaye on account of sickness; Captain Henry C. Ward, Sixteenth Infantry, has been granted five months’ leave; First Lieutenant J. . Mackley, Third cavalry, has been granted six months’ leave on account of sickness; Major Francis 8.

Nineteenth infantry, four months to go abroad. It was declded to-day that two companies of cavalry shall be per- manently stationed ‘at Fort Meyers, near here. 1t has not boen settled what com anies shall be ordered there, nor when, but much-vexed question of what use to make of Fort Myers has been definitely settled. The forthas remained, since It was aban- doned last summer, as a school of 1nstruction for the signal service,but it hias been occuplied by a few soldiers from Washington barracks for the pury of protecting property. The secretary of r was foralong time unde- cided as to what use to make of the post. General Sheridan strongly recommended that the capital of the nation should be pro- vided with cavalry in order that that branch of the service should be represented des and ofticial ceremonies that a; 0 take place here. Others, however, wero R: favor of making Fort Myers into an artillery school, and it was not until to-day that the question was finally decided in favor of the cavalry., While nothing further has been de- termined upon, it 1s but natural to suppose that Major James Biadle,of the Sixth cavalry, who was appointed commander of the post under mth:frmuul administration, and served but a time before it was abandoued, will be again stationed there under the new arrangements, and will be placed in com- mand of & couple of tomhrniu of this regl- ment which will probably be brought from Colorado. ‘This, however, is onl( conjecture. W. H. tireen, the only col man in the signal service, has been dismissed (without cnn;fler).on the charge of being acontirmed gambler, A _Circular On Coutagions Discases.

The de- sirability of & system of uniform classifica- tion was admitted. The afternoon was de- voted to discussions of the long and short haul clause of the inter-state commerce bill. The Minnesota commissioners favored the clause, while the Nebraska cominissoners thought every state shoula be allowed to in- terpret the clause to suit itself, ‘The flour mills all over Nebraska are shutting down on aceount of the operation of this clause, The Iowa cominissioners took the same ground. Resolutions favoring such interpretstion, subject to appeal to the courts, was introduced and will be voted upon to-morrow. pisien. et Sudewiniy Belgian Neutrality Defense. (Copimight 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] Brussens, yune 8.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bek].—The discussion of the bills for the defenseof Belgian neu- trality by fortifications of the Meuse valley was continued in the house of representa- tives to-day. Minister of State Nothomb showed the necessity of fortitications by as- serting that England can no longer assist Belgium, her military forces being numeri- cally too weak. Nothomb quoted the opinion of Dilke and othér English authorities. Mr. Weeste, one of the most powerful friends and counsellor of the present Belgian gov- ernment, maintained that unauthorized re- ports of England’s tuture attitude should not be listened to, as England has always offi- cially promised to protect Belgian neu- trality by force of arms In case of need. Several other members rejected the idea of England abandoning Belglum, One went the length of saying, incorrectly no doubt, that the reason why Randolph Churchill was compelled to resizn was that the English cabinet would not abandon the idea of pro- tecting Belrium when attacked. The dis- cussion of the bill will probably last until the end of the present week at least. e W The Anglo-English Convention, CONSTANTINOPLE, June 8.—The special English representative in charga of the Egyptian question and the English Ambas- sador discussed with the Ottoman commis- sion last evening the objections of Austria and France to the Anglo-Turkish convention relative to Egypt. Itis announced that the adheston of the powers to the convention will be invited after it is ratified, and that if any oue of the powers will fail to give their sanction within three years such refusal will be regarded as constituting external danger to Ecypt, and the British ewacuation of the country will be postponed. The porte will lr.ntlgy he convention after the Bairam fes- val. The French government has informed the French ambassadors abroad that France can- not assent to the Anglo-Turkish convention except as a basis for negotiations.

Bavrisonre, June 8.—[Speeial Telegram tothe Ber.]—A sensation has been pro- duced here by the announcement that Alex- ander D. Brown, the eldest son of the late George Brown, of the banking house of Alex- ander Brown & Sons, had begun proceedings to divorce his wife, Laura J. Brown, on the ground of unfaithfulness to her marriage vow. ‘I'he marriage took place on August 7, 1880. The Brown family are among the wealthiest and most aristocratic in Balti- more and are well known at Newport and other fashionable resorts. (George Brown, father of the piaintiff in the present suit,died in 1850, leaving an estate of several millions. His widow, Mrs. Isabella Brown, bullt a magniticent Brown memorial church in this city. Alexander D. Brown married Laura Hobson, the most notorious woman in Balti- more and keeper ot the largest of disorderly houses of this city. At the time of the mar- riage tha woman’s beauty was fading and she held her own mainly by her audacity in keeping herselt before the public. Brown was a widower, past midale life. lmmedi- ately after the announcement of the mar- riage Brown’s mother,who was then at New- vort. made a codicil to her will making his son by the former wife heir and leaving the newly made bridegroom nothing. He had A large estate under his father’s will, however, Including the fanulr homestead, called “Brooklian Woods,” in Baltimore county, probably the most attractive countr; seat near Baltimore. Here he and his wife retired, recelving the companions of her past life, he, apparently, not heeding the soclal oblivion to which he was cousigned. Hisname did not come before the public again until a year ago when he opposed the partition of the estate of his father under the will of his mother. The courts held that the Wwill was good, and that his share should o to his son. On the bill for divorce filed, Brown charzes his wife with unfaithfulness with Henry Rice Turnbull, s weil-known 1 surance broker of good family connection, and with William Priest, MYs. Brown's coachmnan, a good-looking fellow. The hus- band has obtained an injunction restraining his wife from using his credit, alleging thal she has threatened him financfally. S S, The Track of a Flood. Jonxstown, Pa., June 8,—The flood yes- terday was caused by a water spout west of Hooversville, Somerset county. That village was entirely under water. Bridges above there were carried off, and the Kernville bridge was totally destroyed. The bridee at Coopersville and Van Lumen’s was entirely swept away. At Hooversville upwards of twenty residences were washed off their foundation and deposited on the ground. At least one hundred families in tbis town lost everything in the lower story and cellars of their houses. The ' scene to-day after the water subsided 18 one of demoralization and ruin. In Grubbtown, Morrillville, Conemaugh Bor- ough, Minersville, Cambria City and Coo, dale the same scene is presented and it is es- timated that 200 people are temporarily home- less. No estimate can yet been made of the damage, but it is estimated that it will reach 8150,000 in this vicinity alone. No lives lost Aas far as Known. Mrs. J. D. Morrell died from heart disease 1ast night, produced, it is supposed, by the excitement caused by water surrounding her house. ~ Colonel Janies M. Cooper, of Coop- emlzle, also dropped dead from over-excite- men e Black's Western Tour. CHICAGO, June 8,—|Special Telegram to the BEE.|—A special from Washington says: Pension Commissioner Black’s friends have let out a few things about his western trip that are causing some amusement, That the commissioner went to further his vice-presi- dential boom everyone knows, but everyone did not know how he was going to do It The secret is now out. General Black had charged himself with replying to Senator Sherman’s Springfield speech. He proposed to take the whole burden of defending the democratic party on his own snhoulders. To this end, it is stated,he had written tofriends in 1llinols, telllng them, in the strictest con- fidence, the mission which he had under- taken, and asking them to make the neces- sary arrangements for a spontaneous call for Black, He expected to deliver himself of his reply to Sherman at Springfield, and it is hoped that the democrats at the state capital will not let slip the chance to hear his ora- tion, It is said, by the commissioner’s {riends, to be a master-piece which will make John Sherman wish John C, Black nad never been born. But opinions are apt to differ on such things, and the commissioner’s friends, who are in the vice-presidential movement wmay be color blind e e Natural Ras Celebration. FINDLAY, O., June 8.—The great natural gas colebration opened this morning. The city is decorated in the most lavish manner. Fifty-eight arches span the maln street bear- ing mottoes, arranged with jets, Thirty thousand gas jets will bein flame to-night and the thirty-one gas wells ot Findlay have been piped into the city to aid in illuminat- ing, Crowds have been coming in all dav and 1t is estimated that by night there will 30,000 people in the city, The ageregate daily out&lu of the gas wells in and about Findlay is 90,000,000 cubic feot. The effect of this superabundance of cheap, rich fuel gas has been to draw the attention of manufacturers, and thirty-one substantial factories will soon be located herw. The cel- ebration which began to-day will continue some 'days., The feature of to-day was the laying of corner stones of six new * factorles, Nearly every city and town in Ohio and eastern lndiana bas either sent a military company or com- pany of someu niformed secre tsocietv. These willengage in a grand vrize drill. The exer- cises of Thursday will be of the widest inter- est, as in the evening Senator Sherman, Gov- ernor Foraker and other prominent men will address the vast assembla; The town s illuminated at mflu with 30,000 jets of gas, besides a Hm\ven’u flame from the great well, which emits daily 12,000,000 cubic feet of gas.

A Very Pretty Game in Which Omaha is the Victor, THE SCORE STANDS Hart Still in the Lead in the Six-Day Pedestrian Contest—Yesterday's Events on the Turf— Other Sports. Playing Ball in Earnest. 10 TO 6. The Omaha club has a habit of going to extremes in their work on the diamond. They play either a miserably poor game or remark- ably good one. Yesterday's game with the St. Juseph team was a8 decidedly of the last named character as that of Tuesday was of the first. The game was a nicely played one in nearly every respect and was won by the Omahas by ascore of 10to 5. 1In the first inning Swift retired at first. Walsh and Dwyer made safe hits and both scored on Krehmeyer’s three bagger. Harter brought Krehmeyer homeand scored on Bader’s hit, Rourke having retired at first. Bader was brought home by Genins who died at third, O'Leary going out on & fly. This gave the home tean a lead of four runs, the visitors being shut out with one run. The visitors secured run in the second, glving the Omaha’s a goose eg'f In the sixth innin the homa team added two to their score an secured three more in the eighth. The visi- tors secured two runs in the seventh inning and one in the eighth, The ninth inning resulted in a blank for both sides, O’Leary pitched a good game for the home team, and was well supported. Harter caught without an error, Among the features of the game were brilliant catches h({ Genins, Bader and Krehmeyer in the field and Brimblecom's stop of ‘a hot liner at second by which he made an unsisted double play. Switt played short to advantage but did ‘not bat with his usual strength, ~ Walsh played a faultless game at second. Weigriffe pitchea a good game for the visitors.

Denver Again a Winner, DENVER, June 8.—[Special Telegram to the BEE.] —Denvers won their second game from Kansas City to-day, defeating them with comparative ease. The ‘‘Cowboys” lost chiefly owing to the fact that their pitchers are all disabled. During the game they presented Lillee, Ringo and I'im Man- ning in the pitcher's box. Lillee was knocked out in the sixth 1nning, and after six runs had been made off Ringo in the sue- ceeding inning he retired to second base and gave Manning a chance. Ie was hit (reolfi, but managed to play the game out. The heavy batting was the principal feature of the game. Lettenburg and Hurley, the Denvers’ new battery from the Pacitic coast, made their first ap, nce. The tormer did poorly, his slow balls being sized up by the *Cowboys” in a most disheartening man- ner. In the fifth inning he gaye way to Sileh. Ringo and =~ Hassamaer car- riad ~ ofi ‘the batting honors of the day, both making home runs, The field- ing of the visitors was eareless, especially of the infield, who were ‘charged with seven of the eight errors made, The Denvers are ju- bilant to-night, as the day’s victory places them in third position, slightly in advance of the Kansas City club.
