Tovreno, July 13.—[Special Telegram to the Bek.]—The Toledo Blade to-morrow will say: The absorbing question just now to republicans is, “Who is the choice of the masses of the party for the nomination?” 1t 18 & most difficult question to answer; but the Blade to-day presents the preterences of 2,300 republican votes, from every state and territory in the union save Utah and Alaska. Distributed as our correspondents are, in every state and territory, we felt that an ex- presslon of opinion from them would be in- dicative of the drift of republican sentiment in their respective communitics. Early in May we called on every republican voter among the readers of the slade to send his expression of opinion by answering the fol- lowing questions: 1. Who is your first choice for the next re- publican candidate tor the presidency? Who is your second choice? 8. Wko 18 your choice for vice president? We have received agrand total of 21,350 re- plies. The following is a summary of them: FIRST CHOICE FOR PRESIDI NITAL NOMINKE. Blaine.. AL010/ Tngalls, e oenieinnien Bherman . 6,684 General Sherman.

DENVER, July 12.—[Special Telegram to the Bek. |—The investigation of the death of John A. Witter before the coroner’s jury was resumed to-day. Drs. H. A, Lemon and Byron A. Whoeler were callod. The former assisted at the post mortem examination and the latter was the personal physician of the deceased, They both testified substantially tothe same facts—that the lingering death of Whitter, his emaciated body, which was reduced from 160 to less than ninety pounds, and the conditions of the organs after death, all pointed to show arsenical poison. At the conclusion of the testimony the jury retired and returned a verdict that death was from this cause. It 1s not yet known whether a warrant will be sworn out by the brothers of the deceased for the arrest of Mrs. Witter or not. as neither of them or ~the widow will converse upon the subject. The will of Mr. Witter was presented to-day. It bears date of July 3, the day of his death, and does not bear his signature, but purports to have been signed by his mark, which is witnessed by E. J. Rogers and J. Ii. Vaile.

General Pryor and Governor Curtin Denounce the Latest Story. New Yonrk, July 12.—(Special Telegram to the Bre.|—General Roger A. Pryor, who was a member of tae confederate congress, spoke to a Herald reporter yesterday of the dispateh in which Jefferson Davis was repre- rented as charging that a plot was laid by northern officials during the war to assassi- nate the president of the confederacy. Gen- eral Pryor denounced the story of the allezed assassination as “ridiculous on its very face',’ “Did you ever hear of any such attempt?”’ was asked. “I never heard of the circumstance here detailed.” “Do you believe them to be true?”’ “Noj because [ do not believe any person holding a responsible position im the north would hire an assassin to cone down and kill Davis, and hecause [ have no evidence that Davis made these statements.” “If he did make thew, would you believe them?” **No, I should believe iie was mistaken in supposing an attempt was made to assassin- ate him,” “Were you in a'position atthe time re- ferred to to have heard of such an attempt?” “Yes, I was in Richmond as a member of the confederate congress. 'The narative does not sound like Mr. Davis, He wasnota boustful man, and there is a tone of bragga- doclo in 1t that 13 not characteristic of him. An attempt to assassinate the president of the contederacy would have been heard of and would have shocked the whole confed- eracy.” In regard to the charges made in the Davis interview against ex-Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, in response to an inquiry from the editor of the Herald, the war gov- ernor makes the following statement: PHILADELFHIA, Pa,, July 11.—To the Edi- tor of the Herald: Your dispatch reached me just as I was leaving my home to come here. Accept my thanks for it. ‘There is not one word of truth in what is said to have been uttered by Jefferson Davis about me. 1 never pardoned a desperado with the under- standing that he would assassinate Mr. Davis, and [ had not the money personally and could not have taken trom the treasury the sum he alleges to have been the reward, which he states to have been $100,000. Dur- ing the war I represented the unanimous disposition of the people of Pennsylvania to maintain the government by honor- able warfare, and not by assassination. "Those who kniow mie will not believe MF. Davis’ announcement, and it is surprising to me that he should in so public a manner ac- cept the intormation given to him by an anonymous correspondent. It has not been my habit to correct newspaper allegations, but as this is contained in a paper of the if- fluence of the New York Herald, 1 deem it my duty to mako this emphatic contradiction and denial, not only of this charge, but to say that I never resorted to such means for the conduct of the war, so tar as I had any agency in it.” (Signed) A. G. CURTIN., ———— THE WIDOW WHITELY. The Story of Her Marriage to Buffalo Bill Untrue. CENTRAL City, Neb,, July 12,—[Special to the Bek.|-—~An extract in the Sunday Bre from a Washington special to the New York World, in relation to Buffalo Bill's wife,does Mr. Cody great injustice. In the first place he never married Colonel Whitely’s widow, and in the next place he never knew her. G. Q. Richmond, a young Jawyer in Washing- ton, became acquainted with Colonel White- ly and his wife before the colonel's death. Subsequently Richmond came west and lo- cated at Pueblo, Col., in the practice of his profession, After the colonel’s death a correspondence took place between Rich- mond and the widow Whitely, which resulted intheir marriage at the Grand Central hotel in Denver in the early seventies, After a brief period of wedding bliss in Pueblo Mr. Richmond obtained a divorce from his wife. She went west, and soon after died in San Francisco, Cal. —_— Complaining of Freight Rates. FreMoxT, Neb,, July 12.—|Special to the Big.|—Messrs. Munger and Agee, of the state board of transporcation, held a meeting here Saturday and last evening to hear evi- dence from lumber deaters along the Fre- mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road. The board a short time agzo received petitions from firus at numerous towns along the line for redress of grievances. It was in re- sponse to these petitions that the meeting was called, Members of the Nye-Wilson- Morehouse companv, of this clty, who own about twenty-tive lumber yards, testified on Saturday that the rates under the present inter-state law trom Chicago to their various points of business are about §3 per thousand feet higher than before 1t went into effect. They say it these rates are maintained ‘the price of lumber will be raised that much all along the line. At the session last evening, A. M. Spoouner and John Dearn, of Hooper; Mr. Smith, of Schuyler, and J, L. Baker, of West Point, testified before the board. ‘They all stated in a general way that the rates' now are in excess of what they were and higher than they ought to be. They all refused to divulze the amount of rebate they lurmurl* got, as it would be a breach of confidence. 'The board will recommend to the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri ey and Sioux City & Pacitic roads that a reduction be made. Killed by a Haystack.

The Rash Language Creates Consid- erable of a Riot.—Small Fights Reported From a Number of Places. Battle of the Boyne. [Copyright 1887 by James Gordon Bennett,] LoNDox, July 12.—[New York Herald Ca- ble—Special to the Brg.|—Reports from Orangemen celebrating over the kingdom seem to have the usual bitterness of the Boyne anniversary. The most extraordinary account comes from Glasgow, where its Orangemen and those of Paisley, Greenock and other industrial centers thereabouts hela their annual demonstration attended by sev- eral thousand members of the order, dressed in gay regalias, carrying large banners, and accompanied by iInstrumental bands. The contigents from the varjous districts assem- bled on Glasgow green, where mounted mar- shals arranged the processional order. This, about a mile long, wended its way to a field on the banks of the Clyde. Prof. Macklin moved that the Brit- ish constitution, being scriptural, protestant and christian, cannot consistently with its own safety furnish equal rights and eqnal privileges to Intidels, papists and agnostic athelsts who deny its principles, altogether with those who assert and maintain their be- lief in Christ. Popery, he said, was insinu- ating itself everywhere, and while in the house of lords it was gliding like a serpent, in the house of commons it was hissing with Healy against all that was protestant and all that was British. The only way to make all Ireland as prosperous and contented as the north was to give the whole of it a brotestant backbone and to replace by northern farmers the lazy, dirty, miry worshipping Parnellites in the south and west. He continued at length in asimilar strain of rhetoric, when J. Mc- Manus, riding arelizious steeplechase over the same line of hurdle and bars and country moved that the overthrow of protestantism within the three kingdoms, being the avowed object of the papacy, proposed the abolish- ment of diplomatic relations with the pove seems a part of the conspiracy for the over- throw of the protestant religion, and the at- tempt to govern lrish Jesuits by their mas- ters Jesuits at Rome is not statesmanship, but insanity, A Captain Henderson, who seconded the motion. described Gladstone as the greatest Jesuit the country had ever seen, and hoved the Salisbury government had no connection with the papish envoy. Council- lor McCormick supported the motion, which ‘was adopted unanimously. The procession was then reformed and marched back. Before returning home the Govan contingent were stoned by Catholics to whom the extraordinary language had been reported, and a fight ensued, which, after routing the processionists, was sup- pressed by the police, COMMENT ON M'GLYNN. Father McGlynn’s case has to-day taken hold of the Knglish press, Many newspa- pers comment upon it. To-day’s Standard ends an editorial thus: “But serlous as the the issue was, it had to be faced. No breach could injure the papacy so gravely as the spectacle of a priest defying it with impu- nity, and it was absolutely necessary for the preservation of its authority that this should be vindicated at all costs. The attitude in favor of McGlynn, although it may excite en- thusiastic cheers at a gathering of Irishmen of one class, will alienate and disgust great numbers of those who at first were favorably disposed towards him. The intellizent por- tion of the Catholic community in America, as elsewhere, percelve at once the distine- tion between a priest firmly holding to what, rightly or wrongly, he regards as a great principle and a priest defying and even mocking the head of the church, Had Father McGlynn re- ceived the sentenco with silent dignity maintaining still his position, but treating with respect the decree of the pope, he would have strencthened that position. As it is, although he may ralse the applause of the Irish mob in New York, he has forfeited the respect of the better class of his co-religion- ists.” ‘This is from @& tory paper. The Telegraph leader Is over a column long, and concludes by this rather 1llogical sentence: *‘If Father McGlynn could only get rid of the curse, he might come to Ireland and practice with im- vunity the resistence to rent, which in America he Is not even allowed to preach,” The Day at Belfast. BeLFAST, July 12.—The twelfth day of July is being celebrated b{ Orangemen throughont Ulster with universal fervor. The city is crowded with Orangemen from rural districts, Several skirmishes have al- already taken place between the Orangemen and Catholics. The police have been re- m(orced 80 as to be prepared for any trou- e, At Liverpool. LiyERPOOL, July 12.—The Orange ceremo- nies here to-day resulted in a riot. The pa- raders were attacked by a crowd of Catholics, who threw stones and other missiles at the men in the ranks. The police forcibly re- moved the party emblems carried by the Orangemen. Abouta dozen Lersons were arrested. Many were treated at hospitals for cuts and bruises. At Toronto, ToroxTO, Ont,, July 12, —=The orange de- monstraiion to-day was a great success. The streets along the route of the procession were crowded. There were fifty-three lodges and between 3,000 and 4,000 men in the proces- sion. Debating the Land Bill, LoNDoON, July 12.—Dillon resumed the de- bate on the land bill in the comnmous to-night, attacking the clauses of the bill seriatim. He declared that the first, dealiug with the case of leaseholders, was the only one which promised to be beneticial in its operations. ‘I'he others would make evictions easy, de- strov the confidence of the tenantry in the land courts, and place in the hands of the landlords a new and terribly irresistible en- gine of eviction. T. W. Russell, liberal, said the bill was adelusion as rezards evictions, closing one door upon the power of the land- lords to evict only to oven another, Shaw Lefevere, home rule liberal, sald the bankruptey clauses ought to be dropped, for they would benefit nobody but the rapacious landlord. The bill would only aggravate the very evils it was Intended to cure. Upon motion of Lord Randolph Churchill the de- bate adjourned. Mrs. Leslie's Admirers.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, NUMBER 2{ ANOTHER DEFI TO WARREN. Tommy Miller Again Tssues a Ohallenge to the Minneapolis Featherweight. BOUND TO FORCE THE FIGHT. Result of the Shuot of the Omaha Gun Club.—President Throw of the Western League Talks, Miller and Warren to Meet. Tommy Miller, the local champion feather weight, will forward the following challenge to Tommy Warren, at Minneapolis this morning, his backer, Mr. Herb Rothery, hav- ing deposited $100 with the sporting editor of the Brx as an earnest that lie means busi- ness: OwmAA, Neb,, July 12,—[ hereby challenge Lommy Warren, the selt-styled feather- weight champion of the world, to a ficht to a finish, or for any specified number of rounds, forany reasonable stake, with skin tight or the smallest gloves allowed by the law, at 118 pounds, men to weigh twelve hours before the fight, and fight to come off four weeks from the signing of articles, either at St. Paul or Minneapolis. Inasmuch as I chal- lenged Mr., Warren some weeks since with- out receiving any definite response, 1 ear- nestly hope he will give this his immediate attention or signify his unwillingnessto tight me, Respectfully, Tommy MILLER. For the past munth Rothery has been try: ing to bring these two bantains together, bat so far all negotiations have resulted in noth- ing, and he is now determined to force a light upon him, if compelled to invade his cwn territory. Miller has repeatedly chal- lenged Warren prlvnleli’, offering him on two separate occasions a haudsome certainty to come here and fight him either to a finish or for a_mutually agreed upon number of rounds, but in each instance, after consenting to the meet has manaced in one way or the other to crawlish out of it, ‘The general be- lief hero is that Warren is afraid to risk a go with such a sturdy, redoubtable young tighter as Miller, whom he knows nothing about from actual experience, and I8 apprehonsive of defeat at the hands ‘of a man whom he claims lacks the necessary reputation to make a tight a drawing attraction, iller is confident he can best Warren after any tash- ion, for any number of rounds and under any rules, and is resolved to make him fight or squeal. It should be remembered that Miller is not without a record, He has gone up againsta nuwber of good men, aund has yet to have a fight recorded against him. He met Jimmy Maloney, in San Francisco, May, 1885, and bested him insix rounds. In June, 1836, he met Prof. Scott, of St. Louis, at Dubuque, {a., in a four round hard glove contest, and although Scott, who weighed twenty-six pounds heavier than Miller, staid through, Miller was awarded the fig] In July, 'same year, he met Sidney Draper, whose ~ fighting weight was 140, at Shellsbury, Wis,, and beat him in four rounds. Bested Jack McQuerin, of Buffalo, at Lawrence & Jamison’s “hall, Detroit, in September, same year. In March last he met and defeated that nifty little fighter, Johnnie L.e Mountain, from Toronto, in nine rounds, this city, Later he signed articles for a fight with the celebrated Tommy Dan- fort’s backer, but when it came to putting up a forfeit Danforth failed to come to time, and the fight fell through, Next he expects to add Tommy Warren to his list of victims.
