Leétters of Regret Read From Presic ,dent Cleveland, John Sherman Governor Hill-Secre- tary Lamar Speaks, A Swell Assemblage. New Your, Nov. 15,—The annual dinner of the chamber of commerce of the state of New York was held to-night at Delmonico's, The guests of the evening included Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild, Secretary of the In- terior Lamar, British Fisheries Commissioner Joseph Chamberlain, Mayor Hewitt, the Hon, Carl Schurz, General Scofleld, the Hon, Cox, General Horace Portor, Chaiincey M. Depew, Whitelaw Reid and Andrew Car- negic. Lotters of regret were read from President Cleveland and John Sherman, The president, after expressing rogret that official duties prevented his acceptance of the invitation, says: “Those charged by the people with the management of their govern- ment cannot fail to enhance their usefulness by familiarity with business conditions and intimacy with business men, since good government has no more important mission than the stimulation and protection of the ac- tivities of the country. This relation between the government and busincss suggests the thought that the members of such assochi- tions s yours owe to themsclves and to all the people of the land a thoughtful discharge of their political obligations, guided by their practical knowledge of affairs, to the end that there may be impressed upon the admin- fstration of our government a busincss char- nctor and tendency free from the diversion of pusslon and unmoved by sudden gusts of excitement. But the most wholesome purbose of their political action will not be accomplished by an insist ance upon their exclusive claims and_selfish benofits regcardless of the welfare of the peo- ple at large. Independence is so fully an cle- ment in gour national existence that patri otic and generous heed to the general good seems to best subserve ev particular in- terest.” Mr. Sherman, in his letter, says: “Per- hiips the most important subject for the immediate future is the extension of our commerce, especially into oxico and the South American states. The enormous development of our in- industry has now made it mecossary for us to foreign markets for our surplus produc- tions. The most hopeful field for such ope- rations is in the growing demands of the American_continent for many articles that '.lt)UlI"A'll States, better than any other y, can furnish them.” nt a letter of regret 'he President,” was Lamar responded. The secretury said he was not aware until a day or two since that he would be called upon to rospond to this toast and was taken somewaat by surprise. He added: “I have been so close ofticiuily to the president for the last three years, so identified with his purposes and his aims and his efforts, that it is_almost impossible for me to +either contemplate or present him in perspective. In my trouble I applied to him as to what I should say, and perhaps 1 could mot do better than o report to you his very words. He said: ‘Remind the gentleman of the chamber of comme o of the fact that two great interests which originated in the con- vention which formed the present constitu- tion were the need of an exceutive head of the nation and national regulation of its com- mercial interests with foreign countrios between the states so that which the | ddnt represents are both the joint creati the present col itution of the United States. Mol the assombly,’ said he, ‘that 8 government by " the T people should reficet the same sturdy industry and the samo scrupulous virtue which lie at the foundation of the people success and prosperity.’ Let me offer a voluntary toast: To the gentlemen of the chamber” of commerce held in the highest estimation in all_cities in_every part of the United States: I know I can add nothing to Then drunk, and Secretar the toast, your knowledge. I am only sure you could have summoned no one whose feelings arc so touched by the assembly before me. What a scene meets one as one gazes upon this splendid country. From Labrador to the Rio Grande, rom the Atlantic to the Pacific, there lig dor of wealth and quietude of peace, think our foreign commerce is not so declin- ing that heroic measures are n In fuct, I think that instead of declining it is in- creasing. 1 think the United States is now contesting with Great Britain for supremacy of the commerce of the earth, but American tonnage is decreasing.” The seccretary thought that perhaps the chief cause of this was that artificial one— protection. There is another vital element which forms the basis upon which rests all things, and that is mer- cantile honor. On the appreciation of com- ercial honor rests the power of commercial hulmu‘\ M. Depew responded to the toast, “The United States, with government by the people and for the peoplo: they are friends of honest labor, enemies of anarchism.” Mr. Depew said the question, What is to become of anarchy ! has been partly settled in Chi- cago. The American people have decided there is no lib unless there is law. President Smith proposed a toast to Mr. Chamberlain, The latter in response expressed his gratifi- cation at the mission which had been placed upon him. Referring to his mission, he said he was sure nothing will be permitted to im- peril the good relations existing between Great Britain and the United States, He ‘would not attempt any settlement of the dis- pute that is not admirably fair. Mayor Hewitt, George William Curtis and others also responded to toasts. - - A Crooked Concern. C10A60, Nov. 15.—Proceedings in the quo warranto were begun by State's Attorney Grinuell to-day on the relation of Abraham Burnstein in the superior court to wind np the affairs of the Chicago Trust and Savings bank, Burnstein claims to have been charged usurious interest. The bank is doing busi- ness under the charter of the Peninsula Loan and Trust company, granted by the legisla- ture in 18060, The lat CONCErn Never exer- cised banking powers and in 1855 merged ftself into the Chicago Trust and Savings bunk and woved from Hittsfield, 111, to Chi- cago. The Peninsula company never ratified its incorporation by & majorily vote, as pro- wvided by law, and hence it is alleged the act is null and void and the Peninsula company and its successor are illegal corporations. - - Engel's Deserted Wife. Racixg, Wis., Nov. 15.—Mrs. Margaret Engel, living in this city, claims to have been the lawful wife of Engel, the anarchist, exocuted in Chicago last week. She says they were marriod in Germany a number of years ago and came to Racine’ twelve years Binee, where, she alleges, her husband de- gerted her going to Chicago.

Monrnisox, 1L, Nov. 15.—During the ex- treme dry spell of last summer many agents for drive wells visited this locality and drove & thriving trade amongst the farmers. They cleaned out the wells which had dried, ran an iron pipe down a few feet and tapped the water. The effect was the same as if the weil had been dug down the depth of the pipe, but the work was quickly and cheaply done. After visiting nearly all the farms in the vicinity the mon left. Soon after a man named W. 8. Dodge, hailing from New York, appeared and demanded a royalty of $10 each from the townpeople and farmers who had drive wells.

Wasnizaroy, Nov. 15.—([Special Telegram to the Brg.]—Virginians, who are here and who have been watching the arguments be- fore the supreme court on the habeas corpus proceedings by which it is proposed to release the officers of the Old Dominion who are under arrest for refusing to comply with the decision of the lower court in reference to re- coiving coupons from state bonds in payment of taxes, are expressing disappointment to- ght over the speoch of ex-Senator Conkling in their behalf and against the bondholdes He was paid a large fee, it is said—$10,000— for his appearance. In regard to Mr. Conk- ling's argument, there seems to be not a dif- ference of opinion or of expression—at least among those who have taken so much inter- estin beholf of the Virginia officials who have been committed for contempt. It seems to have been expected that Mr. Conkling would make one of his greatest efforts; that he would put himself on record before the court as maintaining that the sovereignty of a state could not or should not be invaded. Instead of that, Mr. Conkling delivered a vory mild and non-committal speech. He did'not lay down any affirmative legal propo- sitions but usually quoted his clients in making his strongest points. It is said Mr. Conkling would s My chients aftirm thus and 80, or, “the petition alleges 8o and so."

Wasnixatox, Nov [Special Telegram t0 the Bik.]—The anarchist, Robert Reitzel, of Detroit, who made the incendiary spoech ut the anarchist funeral Sunday, was for- merly a clergyman, and half a dozen yoars ago was the pastor of a little German church in the northern part of this city. After he had been kicked out of the church helingered in the city for some time, doing some now: paper correspondence for out of town papers, and _indulging in drunken orgies among his friends, the frequenters of a lager beer salooon 1n the neighborhood where his church had been. It is said that Reitzel's departure from this city was hastened by several husbands who_ hud accounts to sottle with him for unlawful interference in their family relations. He marricd a Miss Martin, the daughter of a gentleman who used to'keep a drug store on Ninth street and it was not considered good anarchy for a husband to be true to his wife. Reitzel paid little regard to his wife when ho lived here and when he went away it is said that he left her behind him. A Vory Fresh Statesman. WasniNatoN, Nov. 15.—[Special Tele- gram to the Brg.]—Congressman McDonald, of Minnesota, is a new member. He has not yet had opportunity to air his views on the floor of the house, but he hus not neglected the occasions which have presented them- selves to express his opinions in the newspa- pers. In his latest interview he says: “Iowa is no longer a safe republican state. In the best view that republicans can take of it it is very uncertain. There is little doubt_ that the republican candidate for the presidency next year will be Senator Allison, of Iowa, who is the man that M¥.
