GROVER'S VICTORIAN GREETING. A Magnificent Display of Indiscretion and Flapdoodleism—Contested House Seats—Other Wash. ington News, Grosvenor On Grover. WAsnINGTON, June 20.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bek.|—Congressman Gros- venor, of Ohlo, said to-day, in an interview: “The attempt to return the flags aroused a feeling such as has not been known since Sumter was fired upon. It will go into the eampaign and will hurt Cleveland and his party, and there will be no bloody shirt about it, either. The Grand Army is more active now than it has baen for years. There are to be grand patriotic demcnstrations all over the country on the Fourth of July, and the attempt to return the flags will be cen- sured and denounced In the speeches on nearly every occasion. 1t is the return to doctrines of states rights—Calhoun teach- Ings—doctrines that were stamped as false in battle, that we protest against. There Is an- other thing. I assume the president is going to do as all the papers say, that is appoint Mr. Lamar upon the supreme bench. To ap- point him upon the supreme bench to con- strue the constitution and decide upon the legislation of congrass will do Mr. Cleve- land great political harm. There may not be all at once such a loud cry against iv as the flag Incident provoked, but it will be just as serious in its effects. Lamar represents the dry bones of democratic bourbonism—the dead past. His convictions are the same as before the surrender. He places upon the constitution the same construction the con- federate states tougnt for. Hels the old south with all the old ideas. To appoint him will be no encouragement to the south. A young man with progressive ideas should be chosen. It such a man as Howell E. Jackson was appointed there would be no room for criticism. 1f an extra session is called it will do the democrats great injury. As to the tarift I do not know what they can do. 1 hear indirectly that Randall claims as much strength as he had before. I do not know ‘what he means by that. 1 suppose, however, that he means us great strength in proportion o the majority of his party. Mr. Randall is practically a republican. Upon all matters of principle he agrees with us, He only stays In the democratic party because it suits better to do so, He defends the democratic pll’t{ in speeches on the floor of the house ind In campaigns and denounces the repub- lcans as a party, But he thinks and votes with us upon all great issues that distinguishes the parties, Now this session think he should follow us. We will not kill_him, If he Is goine to join in the fight for protection let him come arid march in the rear of our line, recognizing the leadershi , McKinley, and the rest of our lead- ers, The re?ub icans want to reduce the venue and they aro ready to do so accord- ng to their own plans, Sherman is in favor of revenue reduction. He has sald_so repeatedly and said how he would do it. He may ux something more on the subject when_ the senate meets, 1 do not know just ‘what his Intentions are.” Representative Payson Talks. 'WASHINGTON, June 20.—[Special Telegram fo the Bre.]—Representative Payson, ot Illinols, is in the city on a mission in con- mection with the restoration of the so-called “Indemnity” lands to settlement. Monday and to-day were the days set by the Interior department for the rallroads to show cause ‘why these “Indemnity” lands should not be opened to settlement, and Mr. Payson is here to give the department the benelit ©of his knowledge upon the subject and to help tight the railroads. He says he is per- fectly satisfied with the way that land mat- fers are being handled by the administra- tion. He Is confident that the indemnity lands will be reopened to settlement, and this, together with the forfeiture, will make about 75,000,000 acres of land restored to the public domain, He believes that Cleve- Iand will be renominated. but he flag business going _to im harm. It was a “very foollsh and unaccountable action and the sentiment that it affronted is strong. It will lose him any soldier votes. In regard to the repub- liean candidates he said: ‘1t is too soon to /s perhaps, I do not much think it will be ol Sherman or Blane. Sherman’s friends tried to make a boow for him on the oceasion of Lis visit to Illinols, but they failed at this. He got such a reception as would naturally be given to a republican sepator of his dlnlngnlnhad ability i the rplu\ of & rcpublican state, where republican egislature in seasion, but it amounted to nothing more than this. His speech on that n you of course have read, and it has more or less criticlsed. 1 think, per- ps, It would hi been better 1t he had re- ted his Nushville speech on this occasion. it was the best speech, L think, that he ever made. On the other hand, 1 some- W cannot think that Blaine will be elected. think Fonlbly Allison will be the most ked of man at the next republican con- * yention.” 'He thought an extra sess sssary and would be called.

It was decided not recommend any change in the form of application by candi- dates, but te recommend that hereafter all examination papers be marked in Washing- ton and that the marking be done by a board of fifteen members made up as follows: Seven chosen from the =~ departments of the government at Washing- ton, one —each from _the custom houses and postoffices of New York and Boston, one trom the Philadelphia custom house and one each from the postoflices of Baltimore, 8t.

Field to Jay Gould, the Times says: Jay Gould and Russell Sage are triumphant. Oyrus W, #ield’s scalp ha s been taken, Wall street has a new victory to celebrate and aboriginal savazery is once more discounted by the stock exchange. Field made a brave fight, but he did not real- izo until the end came thathe was to be struck down in the very house of his friends, e knows a good many things now thathe didn’t even dream of a week ago. Hehas learned the value of professed triend- ship and declared partnership. He has seen what dollars and cents have to do with loy- alty. He discovers how cheap is duplicity and double dealing and dowaright betrayal. His feet have gone patter, patter, patter, just as Deacon Sage prophesied they were bound togo when the time was ripe for the Sage and Gould onslaught. On information com- 1ng direct from Jay Gould and Russell Sage, the Times chronicled the fact last week that that distinguished twaln had Field's finan- cial discomiiture in view when they preci- pated what amounted to astock exchange panie, by schemes that enabled them to get & temporary corner on money, Men of consequence saw through the Gould-Saze tactics early in the game. The terrified tumbling that was given Man- hattan stock settled all guestions as to the purpose of the precious pair, and the con- victions thus formed were made indisputable when early in the panicky time of Friday, while Manhattan was stumping headlong down over 40 points, one of Field’s most pro- minent personal brokers had to go begging around the street for an extension on his contracts. No hint of this has hitherto been made public. Had it been announced dur- ing the troublous scenes of the stock ex- change, & sweeping panic could not have been stayed. But the extension petitioned for was given, the disaster was prevented and the man who was merciful and generous at that moment was a man whom Cyrus W. Field has attacked ruthlessly.” The y of an enemy kept off a panic then, just as thrusts of friends and partners now accomplish em- barrassment and sack him of fearful spoils. ‘There is more than one kind of man in Wall street. Early yesterday morning Wall street beean to bloom out with stories corrobora- tive of all that the Times had outlined, and before noon the floating rumors had crystalized into the generally ac- cepted belfef that Fiela had” boen obliged to seek Gould’s favor, swapping a big lot of Manhattan stock for needed mone, Fifty thousand shares of stock, it was agreed, had been given up by Field. The first quoted price was 8135 a share, but that rate was not long accepted, and before business elosed for the day it gen- erally passed on the stock exchange as an un- disputed fact that Gould had been obliged to ‘):\)’ only $90 a share for the $5,000,000 he had aken. Some vurr strenuous efforts were made to disguise the transactions, but before the day was over nobody presumed to deny any of the main facts, What are Mr, Field’s losses? That is something that nobody but himselt can llfi(lll’a out. A good deal of Field’s stock cost him very little, He picked it up half a dozen years ago when, with Sage and Gould, he carried a bear campalgn to such an unserupu- lous extent that the most legitimate investors were frizhtened out of their stock at great Bat ces. But during the last two or three years, since the stock wes ballooned away up 210 and 20 and 50 and 75 points above par— he has been obliged to take on a big additlonal burden of the stock at the inflated price in order to keep the quotations safe and steady, and it is hardly likely that his average price fell any under par, Sage for certain and Gould undoubtedly have salted him with stock at high prices. Russell Sage, for in- stance—sleek, mild-mannered Presbyterian elder that he is—sold out on Cyrus over 2,500 shares of stock in one lot two or months luin at about 158, and to decelve us into the idea that he wus playing fair, Elder Sage has been borrowing that amount of stock ever sinee rather than run the risk of detection by glving up the shares that stand in his own name. Mr, Sage says now: ‘‘Cyrus still has some money left. 1tisall wrong to report that he 1s dead broke.” 1t Mr. Field finds that his surplus Is in any way burdensome, however, he can find Mr. Sage still in business at the old stand. ll’rassl—Wnl street was compiotely mys- tified at the developments in Manhattan stock to-day, The transfer so far as made known, was of Field’s third in the 150,000 share pool, and_the price, Gould to-day told a friend, was §125 per share. Field is still believed to hold nearly 80,000 shares, and it WaR l'fifbm’hrd that enoiigh of this would be taken by Gould to give him absolute control of the property. The announcement of the deal was_followed by DUmerous rumors re- garding Western Union and Baltimore & Jhio. ~It was sald that Gould had agreed to take the Baltimore & Ohio telegraph system, form a new company, and place Austin Corbin in control, Corbin ridicules the story, but the talk was ac- companied by heavy buying orders and the stock advanced over 4 per cent on the strength developed by it. Gould is alse to haye taken up 50,000 shares of R and brokers are unanlmous in the o that more deals are forthcoming. New Eng- land came in for its share of rumors and ne- gotiations are said to be pending by which it will enter New York over the Manhattan tracks. ‘The story that Henry Iart had sold the most ot his Pacitic Mall ‘was contirmed to-day by the delivery of a great many cer- tificates in his name.

The Jury Bringe in a Verdict in Thirteen Minutes, New Yonrk, June 2.--In the Sharp trial to-day Stickney, for the aefense, mado the first address. After 1ecess Colonel Fellows, for the state, addressed the jury, reviewing the case and evidence at great length, After he closed Judge Barrett proceeded to charge the jury. He bezan by saying this was the first time in the history of our jurisprudence when a man had be'n made to face the charge of giving a brire. Both to give and receive bribes were e imes. The court read the law on bribery (ad went on to say that the only direct evid nce that money had been given was that o: e Deliacy had given money. 1t is not necessary that the person charged give the money with his own hand. DeLacy is the fountainnead and all who are proven to be connectet near to or far away from the mountain head are guilty. If Delacey received the momey from Rich- mond and Richmond again from Sharpe, then Sharp is gquilty, .1f Sharp had guilty knowledge and aided or abetted in any way, then he is guilty. Judge Barrett believed it had been clearly shown that Fullgraft was bribed, If ths jury belleved Delacey bribed him wijh $10,000, then the jury must ask who bribed Deliacey. Any person who was be- hind DeLacey in the matter was as guilty. The judge reviewed the contributory evi- dence of Sharp and the lobby work at Albany to get =the railroad- bill vassed, and having succeeded, at once set to work to get the Broadway franchise. ‘The court added: ‘‘Hls anxiety caused him to do anything to frustrate his opponents in obtaining the benefits of his efforts, This was Sharp's motive. e had spent a life- time in the hope of material reward, Ho was ready to do anything to obtain that reward. This was a matter of life and death to he Seventh avenue road, and asadirector he had a motive, while he was to obtain a per- sonal reward in bonds, which were to be guaranteed.” The judge then took up the story of the issuance of §50,000 worth of Donds “and the disposition ot the money, which has been fully recounted in the past evidence. ~ He ‘told the jury that f thev had the evidence and believed that Kerr and Morshay used this as o corruption fund ~ without the knowledwe of Sharp, they should acquit Sharp. There is abundant evidence that there were falsilied enfries by Sharp himself. ‘The jury must determine whether Sharp had connection with “fixiag” the aldermen, or whether his use of that expression was an innocent one. The judge further instructed the jury that they must not be influenced by the prisoner’s a:e or infirmity, nor by the fact that he did not take the stand in his own defense. The jury then retired,and after an absence of thirteen minutes returned with a verdict of guilty, with a recommendation to merey. ‘The azed prisoner’s head dropped and he was removed to the jail.

LoNDoN, June 20.—The British Medieal Journal says: Dr. Mackenzie has removed almost all the fungus growth that remained in the throat of the German crown prince when he left home.
