THE OMA HA SUNDAY ‘OMAHA, SUND GEN. CROOK TALKS. The Famous Indian Fighter Ad- dressos the Pine Ridgers. SOUND ADVICE GIVEN THEM. He Tolls Thom What to Do ta Bet- tor Their Condition. THE BILL A MOST LIBERAL ONE. A Step Toward COivilization Which Should Not Be Ignored. ‘AMERICAN HORSE SIGNS IT. The Celebrated Ohlet Oreatos a Sen- tion By Affixing His Signature —Little Wound Makes a Vigorous Protest. The Final Council Prse Rmae Aerxcy, Dak., (via Rushville, Neb.) June 20.—[Special Telegram to Tme Bee.]—At the final council with the Indians to-any General Crook exprossed his regret that the bill had: failod to meet their appro- bation, and in substance said : T know when we are gone many things ‘will be said and all kinds of stories will be told and much feeling will be exhibited against those who have signed the bill, but they will be protected and shall not be per- sccuted. It will not be allowed. The com- mission has been here longer than expected, but in leaving you we feel a satisfaction that we have done our duty in endeavoriug to explain " the bill carefully to you. There is mo one ‘who has come to us but what we have faith- fully done this. Some of the princival chiefs have said they understood the Dbill, but they have refused to sign it. Their reason for this we do not know, but there is a great responsibility resting upon thom, for as sure as thdy changed their lives ten years ago they must change ogain, and the change in the future must be greater than in the past. The goverument will not continue to feed you in fdleness. You will be more likely to receive rations longer if you show a disposition to work and improve yourselves than if you do not. Men who are chiefs and live in the past cannot keep their positions. They must keep up with the advancement of the tribo or be left like driftwood along the banks of the stream. The influential men of the tribe will be those who keep with the advance toward civilization and prosperity. We have no feeling against those who did not sign and will leave the bill with your agent so all that may de- sire to sign in the future may do so.” After General Crook had finished Colonel Gallaghor briefly addressed them, saying: “The commission are through with their work here and will leave to-day. I .have taken no purt in this work, but have left it to the commission, 80 you could do as you wished in reference to the bill. I feel that ‘when the government sent me here as your agent 1t was my duty to instruct you in everything that was right and to your bene- fit. So in the present case I feel it my duty to tell you that it is the duty of every Indian having his own welfare and the prosperity of his race at heart to come forward and s1gn this bill, I shall make no difference in my treatment between those who sign and those who do not. The government will cer- tainly favor those who tried to aid its wishes and go forward and better theiwr condition against those who did not. The government does not wish to take anything from you ‘without pay. If you nad a hundred times the amount of land as now you would be no better off than now. If the same proposition was made to white men it would be accepted giadly and without besitation, The government must be sur- prised, even with your limited knowledge, that you do not take advantuge of its liberal proposition, It is liable to decide in the fu- ture that you had knowledge enough to uu- derstand this plain and liberal bill. So it .Wwill not be necessary to consult you in the future. This commission has presented this bill in a fair and kindly mauner and not tried 1o force you to sign, They came to you as friends and tried to advise you to do what was right. If they have falled it must be your fault. Among tho whites every bill is left to a majority, 1f that was the rule here the bill would be carried, as a majority of all voters has signed. But your treaty of 1308 says three-fourths must sign in the division and sale of your land. I speak to you as a friend, having only your good at heart. You who intond to sign the bill may come forward and sign before the commis- sion goes uway. Those who do not may live to be sorry, and those who do will live to thank me. The government and commission have doneit.” An invitation was extended to any (ndian Who wished to speak, and was promptly ac- cepted by American Horse,who made a lofg, powerful and sensational speech, In con- clusion he wished the commission to leave the alotment alone. If the Great Father would do this all would sign, but under no circumstances did his people wish severalty now. “Lam aman and speak openly, Iam willing to sell this land now and use my own judgment as to whether 1 am right or wrong. 1 may be blamed by my people because I am doing what I think is my duty, but we will depend upon each other’s judgment when we kuow the wishes of my Great Father. I shall say openly in tho sunlight, so everyone can see me, and I want the treaty to be fair and plain as the daylight In which I sign.” American Horse then called for the pen, and in the presenceof the council signed the bill, This produced a sensation among the assembled hundreds, After signing he requestod to keep the pen with which he bad signed. The rejuest was granted with complimentary remarks by General Crook and Major Warner, He then continued by saying that his people bad a petition td the Great Father, through the commission, praying the government to give them a patent tor land of theirs left after taking their land w severalty, General Crook stated that the ocommission had seen the petition and would favorably recommend 1t, Amer- 1cau Horse immediately begged Three Stars 10 sign the petition, which he did, followed by Major Waruer and Coldhel Gallagher. The signing was greeted with the wildest onthusiasm and applause by the Indiaus. Little Wound followed in & bitier speech against the bill, to which Major Warner re- t‘l’ied. refuting many poiuts stated by Little ound. After the council an issue of ninety beaves was givén and tho immense number of Indians, who have been camped here for the past two weeks, began to leave for their homes, Up to the time the commission left 538 signatures had been obtained. Removed Krom the Reservation. Pierns, Dak., June 29,—|Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—By orders from Dr, McChes- ney, Indian agent at Choyenne, a mun named Waldron was politely conducted off the Sioux reservation by two Indian polico yes- torday. Waldron's offense consisted in try- ing v persuade the Indians from signing the Sionx treaty opening the reservation to set- tlement, This act reflects credit on Mc- Chesney, and is a warning to all fire in the roar parties not to interfere with the Indians at Cheyenne, e A HEAVY LAND TITLE SUIT. One Million Dollars Worth of Minne- apolis Property Involved. MixsEAPOLIS, June 20.—A sensational land title suit 18 about to be lnstituted here, which involves §1,000,000 worth of property in tho heart of the city. Upon it is situated the Minneapolis chamber of commerce’s magnificent stone building. Attorney Brown, in looking over some musty old records ro- contly, found what he conceived to be a flaw in the title running back to the year 1855, before the town was platted. He, with other capitalists who are backing him, has recently secured quit claim deeds, and will now pro- secute the claim for all there is in it. Tt is said that other valuablo land in the vicinity is also involyed. The chamber of commerco people ure totally oblivious to what is going on. Neither President Loring nor Secretary Sturtevent could be found this afternoon, but it is learned that whilo the building was being constructed & flaw in tho title was dis- covered and work was suspended for some time. It was supposed at the time that everything had been straightened out, TROUBLE AT DELAGOA BAY. Portuguese Destroying the Rallroad ana Foreigners Alarmed. Loxmoy, June 20.—A dispatch from Del- agoa bay reports a serious stato of affairs there arising from the railway troubles. A portion of the railway has been destroyed by the Portuguese, The English engineer who tried to defend the worls was fired upon. Foreign residents are greatly alarmed and are crowding to the British consulate for protection. The Portuguese have placed the British interpreter under arrest and the English residents demand his release. The Standard, commenting on the resolu- tion adopted by the shareholders of the Delagoa Bay railway company yesterday, blames them for imprudence. It urges that it will be useless to force Portugal to fuifill her concession to the company, and thinks that Portugal should merely be compelled to return the money the company had ex- pended and pay an indemuity for the damage it had caused at Delagoa Bay. It says Lis- ‘bon must be blockaded, 1f that step is neces- sary, to obtain justice. ‘The Times is iu favor of forcing Portugal to fulfill the concession. ‘The report received from Durban by the Chronicle that the Portuguese decree can- celling the concession had been rescinded is not confirmed. At a cabinet council to-day it was decided to send additional warships to Delagoa bay. WASHINGTON, June 20.—The department of state has received information of the concel- ing by Portugal of the concession granted the Delagoa Bay Railroad company, but has no information of serious trouble in Conse- quence of the action of the Portuguese gov- ernment. A SHORTER COURSE Recommended by the Annapolis Board of Visitors. . WASHINGTON, June 20,—The report of the board of visitors to the naval academy at Annapolis recommends that the academic course be reduced from six to four years and the cadéts be commissioned as ensigns. It also recommends that it should be required by law that the designation of persons for appointment and their alternates be made one year in advance, which is practicable, The board also recommends that the maxi- mum limit of age for eatrance be nineteen 1nstead of twenty years. —— Sabbath Breaking Fined. Crsorsyar, June 20.—A. A, Ttern, presi- dent of the Cincinnati base ball club, was fined 820 and costs to-day for permitting a game of baso ball last Sunday, It was urged that there was no disorder, but the judge held that 1t was. done for money, and was therefore a violation of law. Judge Ermston decided the case against John Lederer, of the Atlantic Garden, who was charged with keoping his saloon oven on Sunday, and who made the defeuse that he conducted a res- taurant business also, and that on Sunday he closed the bar and kept open the restau- rantonly. The judge held that 1t was nec- essary o close the establishment in order to comply with the law. Colored Colonists for Mexico, St. Louss, June 20.—A dispatch from the city of Mexico says two colored emigration comnussioners from Texas have urrived there to consult with the government ofi- cials in regard to procuring land for a large colony of colored cotton raisers from lexas. One of the commissioners said if satisfactory arrangements could be made with the gov- ernment for land that a colony of at least ten thousand persons would soon be in Mexico. ——— Lilinols Corn in Poor Condition. SPRINGFIELD, T1L., June 20.—The condition of the lilinois corn crop is reported to the state board of agriculture as alarming. A special bulletin 1ssued to-day announces it is impossible to estimate the damage done to the corn crop by the continuous rains during the past six weeks and the overflowing of thousands of es of river bottoms in the central and southern parts of the state, —— A Youthful Smclde. Trov, N. Y., June 20.—lohn Brown, aged seventeen, cowmitted suicide by banging, yesterday at bis home near Plattsburg. Brown saw the killug of Irvine Tabor by Joseph Chaplean, and at the inquest denied any knowledge of the affuir. The next day he admitted seeing the murder. The sus- picion that he was concerned in the crime Is strengthened by his comwmitting suicide, - The Mountain Miners. AL100¥A, Pa., June 20.—The indications to-day are that tha strike among the moun- taln miners will be faf reaching in its effects. Those employed in Gallitain, Lillys, Sonman and Ben's Creck are now reported out. At Seoman about 10,00 men are affeoted, and probably those employed by the Cresson and Coalport Coal and Coke com- pany will also go out. b The Weather Predictions. Nebraska sod Iowa: Showers, continued high temperature, southerly winds. Dakota: Fair, contiuued high tempera- ture, variable winds, AN OMINOUS CALM. England's Political Sky in a State of Unnatural Clearness. A STORM BREWING SOMEWHERE. The Ministry Enjoying a Long Run of Good Luck. ITS CONTINUANCE A QUESTION, Three Olouds Casting Their Shad- ows Upon the Horizon. THE DARK CONTINENT TROUBLES The French Government and People Convinced That the British Have No Right to Be ‘Within Its Confines. A Portentous Lull. [Copyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennett.} LoNpoN, June 2.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Trg Brk.]—The sky has of late been so very clear at home and the ‘weather so unnaturally calm that acute ob- servers have feit morally certain that a storm was brewing somewhere. Never did any ministry have a longer ran of good luck than the present, and in domestic affairs that luck is likely to continue. The hopes of Gladstonians—that it would make some fatal mistake; that 1t would trip itself up or be tripped up; that a dissolution of parlinment would be forced upon it—these havs all been abandoned now. From the grand old man downwards it seems, and it is admitted, that parliament will run its usual course,” and that the unionists’ alliance will remain in- vincible, at any ra‘e uatil it is subjected to the test of another general election. But when all is going on well is the time to look out for a reverse or a shock., Three differ- ent clouds have arisen’upon the horizon which may lead to serious mischief, and I would advise your readers to keep their eyes upon them until they disperse or burst. The first hangs over Egypt. The English newspapers as a rule huve dismissed very lightly the action of France in refusing consent to the conversion of the preference debt until England fixes a day for with- drawal from Egypt. But it is no light mat— ter. Itindicates a temper which might at any moment precipitate a crisis. It may even indicate a more settled intention to pro- duce a crisis whenever an opportunity serves. That the English have ro right to be in Egypt is certainly the final belief of the French goverament and the French people. It is pretty well understood that General Boulanger intends to call upon her to go when, if ever, he reaches vower. There are those who think that the present govern- ment proposes to forestall him 1 his move. The card is the best trump out, and Presi dent Carnot intends to play it. But every- thing must wait until the exhibition is over, for it would not do to divert the shower of gold which is now raining down upon France. Preliminary steps may, however: be taken, and this recent avowal on the part of France must be looked upon as the first warning cloud. The second will be found over Armenia. Under the treaty of Berlin, of which Lord Salisbury was one of the authors, the pre- servation of order in Armenia was thought to be guaranteed. Turkey undertook to per- form a certain distinet obligation, and the other powers were vledged to see that he carried out this understanding, But Turkey has allowed the most diabolical outrages to be committed in Armen and lifted no finger to prevent them. A millon of christian people, as Lord Carnarvon told the house of lords on Friday, are beiug ground down by misery and opvression. Men are put to death in the most barbarous manner; wotnen are carried off or subjected to the most hor- rible cruelties, and still Turkey lopks on with o smile, and the great powers, Kngland especially, are being made indirectly ac- complices in these frightful outrages, for it must be remembered that there is a special Anvglo-Turkish convention 1n existance which binds Turkey to protect her christian subjects against the very scoundrels—Kurds and Circassians—who are desolating Ar- menia. Lord Salisbury entered into that convention, which does not save it from be- ing openly violated under his very eyos. 1t is improbable that the English paople will tolerate this state of things much longzer. But even if they were disposed to do so there is another power which will certainly interfere, and that power is Russia. The treaty of Berlin has been contemptuously sot asiae by Turkey. Russia may find in that a plausible, nay, even a just and strong ground, for interference. Sho may requiro England to putan end to these crimes in Ar- menia or insist upon doing it herself. In the latter case Bngland must either stand pas- sively by and see a coup de grace‘inflioved on the sick man of Europe or she must go to war to save Turkey. The Crimaan war will never be repeated. There s still another fact to be considered. France is beliaved to have a very thorough undsrstanding with Russia. Both powers contemplate English occapation of Egypt with the sams eyes, At any moment such pressure could be brought to bear upon England as would leave her no alternative but to retreat from Egynt under pressure or fizit. A more se- rious situation can scarculy be conceived. Of course it may all blow over, as so many other threatening complications have blown over during the last three years, The great European powers are 80 armed to the teeth und 8o strong that each 18 afraid to begin. But there are very curious signs of instant preparation in Russia, Lord Salisbury says he will not admit that Eagland is responsible for the preservation of order in any part of the Turkish dominions, yet the treaty of Berlin and the Anglo-Turkish coavention in- ferentially made her so. Russia may hold hér to accountability. Many great wars have been waged here with infinitely less excuse, Lord Salisbury urges parliament to trust tw the slow action of time and to the exertions of missionaries. But suppose Russia declines to wait for time, or even for missionaries. If she is ready to strike, she will do so. If she does not strike, it will merely be bacause she is not ready. Then there is this now trouble about the Delagoa Bay railway, councerning which dis- patches from Lisbon warn us that serious diplomatic dificulties are Likely to arise. The dispateh of an English gun boat to Delagoa bay is not likely to oil the whee!s of the diplo- matic machine. The Portugese government has broken faith with the company in which English and some American capitol 18 sunlk, aud the widow of Colonel McMurdo, an Amer- ican gentleman who obtained the original cession for the raalway, hisgood cause for complaint. There 18 now" much curiosity feltas to the coursé to 'be taken by the United States government, ‘Bocauso one of it citizens sold a certain Lomcession, it does not follow that it shotld ‘interfere for tho protection of the purchaser. Caveat emptor is a good enough motto for governments to stand by if thoy are 80 inelined. The report that an American gunboat was to be sent to join the British vessel at Delagoa bay was at least premature, but almost any development may arise out of the tangle into which we all gotover this business. - Thus you will see that public affairs are fiot quite so devord of interest as some peopld imagine. A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, THE SULTAN OF ZANZIBAR. Danger of His Djposition and the Accession of His Brothur. | Copyright 1850 by Jamzs Gordon Binnstt.l ZANzIBAR, June 16.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tir Bre.|—No news has been received from Stanley since the letter from Urarl, and o missionary brings information that the Germans intend destroying Pabzani so soon as they have scattered some insurgents in the vicinity of Ragnmogo. They desire to reopen trade and waut the Indians back again. The natives, however, refuse to have any dealings with them. Stringent efforts have accordingly been made by the Germans, who have been backed up by the English representatives, to come to some arrange- ment with the people of Panzani, but they elected to fight and refused to assoclato with the invaders in aly way. Bushiri has been lately in the Usuaga country trying to raise tribes and has sentto Mafiti, The people, however, do not know whether he is back yet. There is a great scarcity of food along the German coast line, and Sefn, Tip- poo Tib's son, who has arrived here, hud much difficulty in feeding his people near the coast. He left his ivory up the country, fearing to bring it down owing to the dis- turbed state of the district. Peters has landed at Kivibs, to the north of Lainor, and his vessel has been seized by the British ad miral and is now confiscated by the admiralty court as a prize. Notice has been posted up .at the British agency calling upon any interested parties to assert their claim within twenty days, Landi is very unsettled, and the fugitives suy that the Arabs threaten to kill all the British Indians 1f either a German or British ship fires a single shot, The snitan fears depsi- tion, and that his brothet Al, who is re- puted to be an intelligent man, will be put in his place. It is rumored that an offer of this nature has been made t6 Ali on condition that he issues an odict giving freedom to all slaves in Zanzibar and thofoughly abolishing slavery, but it is said tirat he fears to accept because this would probably cause a revolu- tion. In fact, Portal, thaBritish agent here, called on Ali lately, una his visit has gi rise to much comment in native circles, ‘There may be news of Stanley uny day now, but it is not thought that he can arrive be- fore three months, when lie is sure to go to Monbassa. o ke el G REATEST Sll()w OA! EARTH. Barnum’s Colosal Lixnibitin Eowden. LCopyright 1839 hy Jant®k Gordn 1 Lobox, June 2).—[ New York Herald Cable —Special to Tue BerJ—It is at last un as- sured fact that P. T, Baruum and James A. Bailey will bring their immense show to London. This afternoon Thomas Helton, on behalf of the Olympia, and George O. Starr, a represetative of Barnum, signed docuwments that give to the lat- ter control of the Olympia. A large money consideration was paid ‘by Barnum and Bailey, which they will forfeit in case the show is not presented in London within the coming year. The emtire show will be brought from America, requiring several of the 1 est steamers to transport it. The exhibition will not be taken to any other city than London, as it is o ponderous to transport over the country. Starr started last night for Southampton in order to sail on the Bider, which departs from that port to-day. P S An American Acins Reception. [Copuright 1889 by James Gordon Bannstt.} Loxpoy, June 20.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tng Bee, |—Kate M. For- syth, who for scveral years supported the late John McCullough, got a reception at the Comedy theater to-night waich ought to augur well for her approaching tour in the provinces. She made her first appearance in this country as Anyda Roma in a piece new to England, but known in America, en- titled, *“The Tigress.” Its theme is not con- ductively strong, but the dialogue may be called delightfully simple, and some of the situations picturesque. The theater was fairly well filléd. At the end of each act Miss Forsyth and Miss Amy Roselle were called before the curtain. The latter was a serious rival of Miss Forsyth, Charles Glenny was of great service, with Royce Carlton, and bota were greatly applauded. The general result as to the popularity of the play seems on this performance pvgblematical, Gustave Amberg has signed an engage- ment for the appearance in America of Joser Kains, the celeorated leading man of Ger- many, ————— Rochester's Asylum Scandal. Sr. PauL, June 20.—The worls of the com- mittee investigating thp Rochester insane asylum scandal was confinuod in this city to-day, with a repetition of the provious tes- timony. Specific casés were recited where patients had been badlyused aud much mal- treated, Mrs. Eva Burtlétt hud been asylum housekecper for ten weaks in 1857, und she denounced the attenddnts as immoral, indecent and brutaly and gave in- stances and names. Hans C.

The Trouble Occasioned By the Gove ernment's Inquiry Into a Case the, Bribery of Members. Involving A Lively Sitting. [ Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennat.) Pauts, June 20.—|New York Herald Cable —Special to Tnz Brg.|—The weather con- tinues warm and brigt, with light easterly breezes, Clouds gather now and then, just enough to frighten people into carrying win- vrellas. The barometer this afternoon was 79 degrees Fahrenheit. The Bois de Boulogne - 8 still as full as ever of smart turnouts, aud the averago daily attendance at the ex- hibition is over 100,000, Paris scarcely shows signs of coming to an end, although for the first time this year [ noticed several straw hats on the verandas of the Jocky _club, and these are to watering places what™ swallows are to summer. The parliamentary atmosphere is heavily charged with electricity, but there has been no real storm yet. The sitting 1ast night was a very lively oue and fur- nished once again an additional proof of the alliance existing between the right and the Boulangists, M. Pichon was brought face to face with an interpotlation addressed to the keeper of seals in reference to the dis- closures made during the Meyer triai of the efforts of the Boulangists to procure supposed compromising docu- ments from that ubsconding stock broker. In cordance with parliamentary customs the ister declared that ho was at the orders of the chamber, which decided to wind the fTair off the reel at once. Mr. Thenevet accordingly went into the history of the Yvan de Woestyne-Meyer correspondence, the members of the left vigorously applauding every phrase which tola against tho right. When the minister quoted Jacques Meyer, M. de Cassagnac called out that the evidence of a man who had been condemned for embezzlement wus worth nothing. So the debate went on for some time louger, the subject under discussion being really of very little general interest. Finally “Thevenet introduced Arthur Meyer's name, stating that he had an_ intention of entering into his relations with Jacques Myers. ‘the conservative deputiss protested at, this, De Cassagnac making himself prominent by asserting that Treveuet had been a confederate of Jacques Meyer in the whole affair, which had sitnply been hatched up by the police to injure the right, When invited by the president to retract or repeat what he had said, the editor of Auto- rite refused to do the former, and his expul- sion from the chamber was accordingly voted by a majority of half the members of the right, and_all the Boulangists present left, the loft wiennwhile applauding. After this 1ncident the chamber, or all that was left of it, discussed the question whether it would be advisable to prosecute persons who had sought to bribe Jacques Meyer, it being finaliy decided by 863 votes against nothing that such a course would be advisable. After this the house resumed the debate on the colonial estimates and budget of finances, the majority of articles being vassed without discussion. The Rice d’ Alger was in a state of excite- ment this morning at half past 7 o'clock, when neat little boures were out for their bread and morning milk. They made a long stay to see the Americans preparing to start. After a substantial early breakfast the boys came out and strapped their haversacks upon their steel steeds, During the operation a waiter from the hotel had been round for a large bundle of Heralds, which were rushed for by the ists. At 8 o'clock Fluett called as usual “Are youready? Prepare to start.”” Mr. Higgins, with his musical shouted: “Wait. T have & word to say, boys, What's the matter with the Paris edition of the New York Herald." “That's all right,” replied the boys in chorus, and followed their reply with hearty cheers. When asked if they had enjoyed their stay in the French capital, the Amer- and all, replied: If a man cannov enjoy himself in Paris he is not flt to live.” Many of them would fain have remained longer, but the itinery is prepared and all arrangements made m advance, so away they went, en routo for Genova. They breakfasted at Melun aud arrived a little later at Fontainebleau, where they will rest to-morrow, visiting its wonderful forests and environs, LRl Fatal Wreek Near New Haven, New HavES, Conn., June 20.—The limited express whick left Boston at 11 a. m., via the Boston & Albany road, was ditched just out- side the city limits this after- noon. Four persons were killed and several badly injured, The killed aro Miss Mary Brigham, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who had recently been elected principal of Mount Holyoke seminary at South Hadley, Mass.: Clarence May, draw- ing room car conductor; the bag- gagemaster, whose name could not be learned, and E. Pfeiffer, a traveling man. Thero were several hundred passen- gers on the train and the majority of them gota bad shaking up and were more or less bruised and ocut. The accident was caused by the spreading of the rails. bk ti e A Reward for the Indian Murderers, HeLaNa, Mont, June 20.—Governor White to-day offered a large reward for the capture of the Indian murderers.

[CopyNaht 1859 by Jamss Gordon. Bannatt.] Loxpoy, June 20.—|New York Herald Cablo—Special to Trk Bie,]—~The Field com- menting on the controversy over the refusal of the Royal Yacht squadron to recognize the now deod gift says: **T'he rofusal of tho Royal Yucht squadron to bo a party to the scheme for foisting the new dood of gift on the world of sport has had a depressing ef- fect on the managing committeo of tho New York Yacht club, indesd they appoar to bo quite dazed by the refusal and seem incapa- ble of giving any intelligible acconnt of the provisions of the new deod. All the surviv- ing donor can say about the matter is that the principal point in view fn its adoption was to adopt it to the changed condition in respect to the incroasod siza of yachts built for racing. This reads romarkably liko o statoment not in accordancoe with facts. Has the surviving donorf orgotton that the first two challenges for the American cup were made by the owner of the Cambria, 200 tons, and the Linonia, 284 tons, aud that no yacht ap- vronching these in size has sinco competed for the cun, The surviving donor says he can see no objection to the new deed. We are not surprised ut this, if all he can say in its favor is that the yachts which compete for the cup have increased 1 size, General Paiho is also supposed to have had some land in drawing up the provisions of the new doed, and is said to have approved the ten months notice on the ground that Amor- icans (that is himself) wero put to some in- convenience in produciug a suitable yacht to defend the cup against the Genesta, Galatea and the Thistlo with only six months notice. “This 18 all very well, and wo heartily sympa- thize with General Paine and admire his bolduess and judgment in producing two such vessels us the Mayflower and the Volunteer, and noless do wo admire the same spirit exhibited by Malcolm Forbes in building the Kyritan, but General Paine appears to have temporarily lost sight alto- gether of the challenging party in his refer- ence to the new deed'whilst dwelling on the ten months mnotice. It is all very well to make a gencral statemont that the new dead is fair and sportsmanlike, but such general stutements do not answer the specific objec~ tions to the deed which wore raised on its nce, and which ev yachts- side of the atlantic and many on the other side have reiterated. —— A MAMMOTH DICATE. English italists to Buy Up the American Dry Gooas Business, [Copyright 1839 by James Gordon Bennatt,| Loxpoy, June 20.—|New Yorik Herald Cable—Special to Tus Bek.|-—It has just leaked out here tnat a company or syndicate is being formed in London for the purpose of buying up the principal dry goods interests inthe chisf American cities, Full details are not yet obtainable and will not be proba- bly until the organization of the compuny is more nearly perfected. From all that could” be ascertained, the mtention is to get control of the dry goods trade in America in a man- ner something similar to thui in which the brewing business is being bought, as itis well known that the amount of money in England sceking investment in en- terprises thut promiss, even a smali return that is reasonably sure is enormous. Many company schemes, some good and some bad, are being advertised and exploited 1n London and other English cities, Many of theso schemes are American, either in conception or in field of operation, or both. - Many thousands of pounds of 1 caital are being put iato companics which have less promise of profit than has tiis one, which is being formed to control the Ameri- can dry goods trade, It could not be learned certainly whether the compaay will bo or- canized on the close corporation plan or whether stock subscrintion books will b opened. In either event it is reporte: the amount of money to be put into the en- terprise will not be less thaa £10,000,000. DOW ST. LOUIS, Chicagn Annexes Enough Territory to Make Her 1,100,000. Cuicaco, June 20.--The question of the an- nexation to Chicago of the closely adjoining suburbs of Hyde Park, Lake, Lakoview, Cicero and Jefferson was voted on to day, The campaign which has boen con- ducted for several weeks past was a spirvited one, and, both sides bave been making a tremendous struggle. ‘The antis were gen- erally headed by the present office holders in the suburban governments, who made a bitter fight against coming into the city. While the official vote from all points has not yet been announced, there is no room for doubt, from the figures received, that all the suburbs have been car- ried by the anuexationists, The various towns bring into Chicago an additional popu- lation of nearly 200,000, bringing the total up to the probably 1,100,000 The territory an- nexed will give Chicago a total area (approx- imately estimated) of about 174 square miles, making it the largest city in area, in the United States. all of the towns annexed are built up thickly radiating from the old city Limits, A person unucquainted with the boundary lines would be unable to distinguish where the suburbs begen, The democratic political leaders in Chicago feel rather gloomy to-night over the outcome of the election, Lake View and Hide Park contain the largest part of the mew population and those places have always returned very large and tiresome republican majorities on election days, With these places enrolled with Chicago, the ascenduncy of the demo- cratic bosses is a thing of the past, as the city will be hopelessly republican, e Fitzgerald Sells Rallroad Intercsts.

The cordlal references of both to Bulgaria are regarded as an answer to the czar's toast to the priace of Montene- @ro. The notes exchanged between Austrin, Germany, Italy aud England on the question of recognizing Prince Ferdinand, show that while there is no desire to press the matter, 1o objection will be offorad. Turkey's de- pends upon that of the other powers; but apact from Russia's opposition, the recogni- tion of Ferdinand can hardly bs made au fait accompli while Prince Bismarck shows 80 little interest in Bulgaria's fate. The Silesian Gazette goos to the length of asserting that even should a war result from Russian occupation of Bulgaria and the de- mand for the evacuation of Bosnia by Aus- tria, Germauy would not fecl obliged to us- sist Austria in the struggle, as the conven- tion relative to the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovinia was made with Germany's consent. The Cologne Gazette, referring to Turkey's rejection of Russia's overtures for a conven- tion to ensnare Turkish neutrality in case of war, dwells on the expedieacy of Turkey's Joining the triple alliance, which it says is a further check on Russian aggressive schemes, West Prussian papers report that the Rus- sian troops along the German *fronter are being strongly reinforced. The National Zeitung, in an artical headed “‘Kogland and Her Rivals,” ably reflects the feeling here in the failure of the Egyptian conversion scheme. It argues that since Russia is pushing her frontier evor eastward in Central Asia, the socurity of Suez canal has become most 1mportant fot England, who is less inclined than ever to evacuuate Egypt or share her dominion there with any vower. Therefore, all the materials are ready to hand for a Franco-Russian coalition against England, forcing hor to becomne an informal member of the Central European peace lengue. “ Emperor William will arrive at Kial at 8 o'clock Monday morning and will witneas the regatta.

It discusses the partition of Switzerland bevween France, Ger- many and Italy as a solution of the question, and says this would greatly contribute toward the chances of peaco by bringing the German und Italian frontiers in direct contact with the St. Goth- ard railway and compensating France for the 10ss of Alsace-Lorraine.
