“ EFEECT OF LAIRD'S DEATH. It Offsets the Demise of Gay, of Louisiana. DEMOCRATS MAY LOSE A VOTE. Gay's District Was Naturally Repub- tioan—The Treasury Department Makes a Curions Blunder— The Threc Americas. 518 FOUNTRENTH STREET, WasivoToy, D. C., August 19 Phe Star touight saya: The deuth of Con- gressman Laird loaves the relative positions of the tio parties in the houss just what it was aftor the eloction. The democrats wore the first to loge a man by the death of Gay, of Louisiana. * The death of Laird takes oft a republican, Out of this situation the chances seem better for the republicans to gain a vote. - It is conceded that thero is no hope for the democrats to elect a man to suc- ceed Laird, whereas, on the other hand, the district Mr, Gay's death left vacant is prob- ably naturally republican. It is generally understood that Mr. Gay was cnabled to carry it because of his bemng a protec- tionist, and having plenty of money which he was free to spend. To hold this same iufluence in oporation Mr. Gray's son- in-law has been nominated by the democrats, but whether they can elect him is a quest ion Miner, the rapublican nominee, is said to be atrong, and all_efforts possible will be made to elect bim. 1he republicans claim that all that is necessary for them to carry the dis- trict is to have a fair count of the votes. A CURIOUS BLUNDER. A curious blunaer was made by the treas- ury department on Saturday. The wisemen of finance who, at least, ought to know the laws of their own country, issued an order which practically probibited the transmis- sion of goods in bond from any point in Mex- ico to any point in the Uuited States without examination and appraisal at the border. A gentleman called their attention to section #306 of the revised statutesof the Umited States, which provides for this very thung and aldo classes Canada and_British Colum- bia in the same category The treasury offl- cials will now have the glorious opportunity of eiter backing down gracefully or enfore- ing the most stupid blunder that has been made for lo these many years. THE THREE AMERICAS CONFERENCR. The coming conference of the representa- tives of the various countries on this conti- nent for the purposc of establishing closer commercial relations will begin operations in October. Some of the delegaies have already arrived and are making arrangements for the gathering of information. The last cor- gress appropriated £300,000 to pay the ex- peuses of this conference. After visiting Washington and_ payihg their respects to President Harrison the delega will take a trip east as far Toston, stopping at all the principal citic From there they will zo west through Chic 0, Milwaulkee. Minneapolis, St. Paul, O; a to the Pacific coast and will visit Mexico and the southern citics before coming to Washington to finish their business in this country. Among the most important matters which il be considered is the establishment of & silver unit which shall be current for circnlation and receivable for customs duties 1 all countries on this continent. Complete plans have already been formulated by a syn- dicate headed by ex-United States Treasurer Jordan, of New York, for carrying this scheme nto execution atd which will be pre- gented to the conference for its early action. THE IMPORTED GLASS BLOWERS, Secretary Windom, before leaving for his vacation to-day, had up for consideration the papers in relation to the emplovers of the im- ported glass blowers who are dlleged to have been brought over here under’ contr. violation of tho contract labor law. 1ng 10 the report of the district attorney Pittsburg it is clearly proved that there was an implied contract between the men aud thoir employers, but the secretary finds the problem a very knotty one, and” up to the Present time has not been able to find a proper golution. The law requires that such alien laborers shall be sent back at the expense of the steamship company which brought them over, within a year from the time of landing, but it. seems that there is some difi- culty inyolved in the question as to on whom shall the responsibility of raising the funds 1o return them to the steamship company be Jaid. ‘Some of the law ofticers of the depart- ment believe that hebeas corpus proceedings would be instituted immediately should any effort be made to return the glass blowers and that such _proceedings would result in interminabie delay, and very likely the ul- timate release of the men. The secretary before proceeding further will try to secure further evidence fixing beyond question the violation of the law upon the firm employing. the aliens, and this is where one of the great- est difficulties will come in. Secrotary Rusk will leave here to-morrow for Deer Park via Cincinati and Indianapo- lis. From Indianapolis he will go to Mil- waukee, where he will attend the forthcom- {ng encampment. e = AN IMPORTANT DECISION, A Dishonorable Discharge No Bar to a Pension, ‘WasHINGTON, August 19.—Assistant Sec- retary Bussey has rendered an important decision in the pension claim of Daniel B. Kaufman, late of Company A, Fourth regi- ment Pennsylvania volunteers, In his de- cision the assistant sccretary overrules the opinion of ex-Assistant Sccretary Hawkins in the sawme case; thata “dishonorable di charge” fram the service operates us a **ba to a pension.” He declares that the char; ter of a soldier's discharge can not affect his claim for a pension on account of such disabilities. He holds that a dishonorable discharge a penalty fer specific offense aganst Bervico for which a solaier may be punished, but that the penalty can not include nor re- 1ate to & claim for a pension based upon dis- ability. Bussey hoids that for the depart- ment 1o umpose on a soldier the forfeiture of his right to ever claim a pension because of a dishonorable dischargoe, ich may have ‘been inflicted by a court martial for an of- fense of which the court had jurisdiction, ‘would be equivalent to punishiug a soldier twice for tha same offense. In this View he is sustained by a decision of the late Judge ‘Advocute General Joseph Holt. The opin- jon re-estaplishes the ruiing of tho depart- ment which prevailed throvgh all adminis. trations, antedating the issuance of rule 135, by General Black.

Birsisanax, Ala, August 10.—An article in an independent paper at Salem, Ala., edit- ed by a colored preacher named Bryan, has created quite a stir in Alabama. An editori- al in tho last issue abuses the whites for va- rious injustices against the colored race, and conciuded as follows: “Were you (the whites) to leave this south- land, in twenty years it would be one of the grandest sections of tho globe. We would show you mossback croakers how 10 run a country. You would never seo convicts depriving honest workmen of an honest living. Itisouiy a matter of time when throughout this whole state affairs will be changed, and 1 hope to your sorrow.

You have predicted that at no very distant day we will have a race war and we hope that we will be strone enough to wipe you out of existence and hardly leave enough of you to tell the story. It is bound to come, and just such hot-headed cranks as tho edi- tors of some of our democratic_journals aro just the right set to hasten it, It is fato.” ho whites in Salem ave taking steps to prevent the Rev.

A Woman Fatally Injuced While in a Somnambalistic State. St. Josepm, Mo., August 19. —[Special Tel- egram to Tur Bee |—Mrs. Tillie Parks, forty-six years of age, arose from he the Burlington train from Denver,whe Elberry, Mo., and steppad off the train while running at full speed. She was in a som- nambulistic condition at the time. She was not missed until the conductor received a telegram stating a woman had been found beside the track and shat she was supposed w have fallen from his traio.

They go to Paris in a few days, and will do the continent before they return to London. If they don’t organize a baggage express in London before they again see America it will be because such a scheme 18 impossibte of accomplish- ment. There is au immensely profitable field here for such an enterprise it it once gets a foothold and is conducted ou the American plan. The idea of estublishing an eéxpress on English railroads doos not seem feasible unless o family of Amerlcans should estab- tablish it and stick atit,though several gen erations of time is not enough of an object here to convince the railroads that an express on the American model would pay hand- somely.

Plu- mer of the corvette Dessalines, who has just returned to Boston on the steamer Andes from Port-au-Prince, gives Legitime's side of the story. He says Legitime is now wirtually in charge of the eatira island. Hippolyte's forces, since their effective re- pulse, have been in the “bushes” and are scattered toward the north of the island. Le- gitime's men-of-war are thoroughly fitted out, and he 1s undoubtedly receiving financial as sistanco from the Freach goverument. When Engincer Plumer received his last salary at Hayti, he says General Contres went aboard a French ram and returnod with a bag of gold, and then paid off the of- cers. The army under Geaneral Gourderre is in Port-au-Prince, well fed and well clothed. Legitime 18 living in the with ~ his family and his armed body guard, which attends bim everywhere. Allthe Americans have left the city, ptain Fischer, of the Buiize, now called L Dofense, was the last white man to leave. The day om which Engiueer Plumber left Port-au-Prince thero were two English gunvoats about the size of the United States steamer Ossipee, which was also there, and two French vessels, a ram and a bark-rigged man-of-war. The present condition of affairs 18 an en- tire reversion of what was expected threo woeks ago. The only resources which Hip- polyte hus are those which he has secured while oceupying St. Marc, When these shail be exhausted the only course left will be to surrender, This eveny, if happenmg withio two or three days, would not surprise Enginecr Plumber, Eis forces are in a de- moralized condition,while Legitime's are the reverse, Impressing men into the latter's service is daily kept up, and Legitime is strengthening his position.

BULLETS EXCHANGED FOR EGGS. T 00— Ed Palmet Makes a Dastardly As- sanlt on ;the Rev. Helmick an v;u Perforated For ) Mis Pains, Shot by a Preacher. Nrora, Tn., Angust 10.—[Special Telogram to Tne Bre.]—At about 10:40 o'clock this evening Ed Palmer, a young maa who had recently marriod Miss Ella Porter, of this place, was shot in the bowels by Rev. D. M. Helmick, and will probably die from the effoots of the ‘wound. Thero has been some troublo betwoen these two gentlemen for some time, originating from the opposition of Rev. Helmick to the marriage of young Palmer. Last Saturday night Rev. Helmiok claimed that he was attacked in his own yard by some persons unknown to him with eggs and bricks. He also claims tbat the day before yes- terday @ friend came to him, and, giving him a revolver, told bim that he would have to defend himself. This evening he was called to the country to marrya young couple. On his return home he found a man standing in the barn door, of whom he inquired what he was doing there, and ordered him to leave. Without receiving any auswer he felt some- thing strike his breast, which afterwards proved to be an agg, when he immediately pulled out his revolver, and, aiming to scare and not to kill, shot down at what he supposed was tho man's feet. His horse took fright and wheeled up the alley. He got off and with some of his neighbors, who had been attracted by the shot, went to the barn: but could find no trace of any person. This is Rev. Helmick’s side of the story. Mr. Palmer claims that he was not doing anything, but that Mr. Helmick rode right up and shot him, and_ that he did not throw the egg. He had somo friends, he says, who were wuear who immediate.y took him home, where he is now. Rev. Helmick is under arrest. and further deyelopmeats will follow the prelim- inary hearing. John G. Hutchison. Masox Crry, In, August 19.—Although this was a Hull stronghold, much satisfac- tion is expressed on all sides at the result of the stato convention in the nomination of Hon. J. G. Hutchison, of Ottumwa, for gov- ernor. It is generally conceded that he has clements of strength not possessed py either Hull or Wheeler, and 1s sure to solidify the different faction in the part, Mr. Hutchison is a Pennsylvania farmer's boy, born in Northumberiand county. He graduated at Dickinson’s seminary, Will- iamsport, in 18§2, and a few months later enlisted in defense of his country as a private in thei One Hundred and Thirty- first Pennsylvanii volunteers, participated in the hard service and florce battles of the Army ot the Potomac, served the full term of his enlistment and was hon- orably discharged, ‘bearing the rank of cap- tain. After theé war he entered the union law school at Cleyeland, O., and upon his graduation removed to Towa, in 1865, locating ing at Ottumwa. For several years he was a partner of Hon. B. H. Stiles, and after re- linquishing the prattice of his profession, he engaged in otber business pursuits, which have placed him'ia moderate but comfortable circumstances. A’ staunch republican, he early gained 'promitence in politics in his home country, while his prudent and saga- cious policies won him many friends among his_political - opvonents, which afterwards counted largely his favor when he was a candidate for political preferment in 8o close a county as Wapello. His legislative cxperi- ence had begmnning in the Fourteenth general assembly, to which he waselected in a most triumphant manner. Twice after that he served hus county and his state in the higher capacity of senator, and was one of the prow- inent men of the Nineteenth, Twenticth, ‘Twenty-first and ‘Lwenty-second gencral us somblics. Upon the election of Mr. Larra- bee to the governorship, Mr. Hutchison was the almost unanimous choice of his fellow senators for the chairmanship of the commit- tee on_ways and means, that most impo tant comwittee of our state legislature. All tho better measures which were placed upon the statute books of Iowa during this long_term of service were supported by Senator Hutch- ison, while to his knowledge of the needs of tho state, his skill and encrgy are directly due some of our wisest laws and politics, He was the author of that most_excellent measure, the registry law, not only as originally adopted, but as it stands on the statute books to-day. His skill in finances is admittedly great, und the policy which finds Towa out of debt to-day, in spite of large expenditure of funds for needed state institutions, can be credited to Senator Hutchison more than to any other man; thoroughly conversant with our reve- nue laws, he has been guick to see their in- justices, and has inroduced and succeeded in getting through one or both houses some important _legislation on this question; @ friend of temperance and early representing an anti-probibition county, his votes on all phases of this issue have been i line with the most advanced thought of the state, and the redemption of his own city and county from the rule of the saloon is largely due to the firm and manly stand he has al- ways taken, in public and in private. In favor of the strictest economy in expen- ditures of state, Senator = Hurchison bas also favored almost every measure which would reduco the expenses and floan- cial burdens of the private citizen, and the text book question and equitable’ taxation have found in him a warm friend and active supporter. Indecd, m the goneral assem- blies in which he has served it would be difi- cultto find any member whose record has been cleaner and brighter and oftener on the side of right and justice than Senator Hutch- ison. Ho is also fortunate in haviug a record on the transportation ques! T i to his credit and highly characteristic of the man that he should have made a rec ord here and that jt1s one wiich wiil bear the closest scrutiny. Primarily he be- lieved in the state control of corporations, and he has lost no opportunity to express this belief and’giye it endorsement by his votes. He favored an eclective ral- way commission and: an enlargement of its powers, and supporeed the measures looking toward’ that end, which were enacted into law. E'rom the nrass of bills on the trans- portation question which came beforo the last general assembly he selected house filo No. 373, gave it hjg earnest support and had the pleasure of a-:cm&" its best features en- grafted on the statutés of the state. Personally Sonator Hutchison is purc and clean, with a chardcter known to all men as above reproach. His canvass has been con- ducted in that mild aud manly manner so peculiar to the man in all his works. Gen- tlemanly and couvteous in his treatment of other candidates, he gppeurs to have steadily maintained the good will of all, and has been subjected to the nttacis of friends of none, His methods have been honest and fair, even and good tempered, and he appears to neither hold nor arouse pérdopal antagonisms, such fruitfu) sources of wdakness, His is a can- didacy to which all republicans of lowa can turn, and as its foundation fiud & man bighly worthy their support. An Interview With General Bussey, Des Moixes, Ia, August 10.—General Cyrus Bussey, assistant secretary of the in- terior, Is in the city visiting relatives for a few days. When asked to-day about the rela- tions between Tanner and Secretary Noble, as he was reported to have expressed him- ‘self in a Chicago interview last week, he said that the statements attributed to him were made out of whole cloth and eutirely untrue. Continuing, be said: ‘‘In the run» sion office there are more than three hun- dred thousand applications pending. Many of these are for increase, the original pen- sion granted having been lsss than the pen- sioner is ecvitlod to under th law. It is my desire and that of the secretary that the peusion laws be enforced with such fidelity that every pensioner shall racoive all that he is ontitted to, and At tho same time wo will Teceive the approval of congress, to whom wo must look to to proserve the pension ‘system.” The Northérn Iowa Collectorship.

Mr. L hiff this worning explained tho objects of the league and the ovents that led to its formation. He said: “The Irish-Americans of Chicago aro just beginning to see that the Triangle and its adherents are enemies of Ireland and Par- nell, and the desertions from the rovolution- ary party have already commenced. It is rather strange that for the first time in thirteen years the Triangle, the Finerty crowd, have iven the proceuds of their ane nual demonstrations to heip the Irish cause. "This year they didit, and the procecds of the Owlen’s Grove domonstration will go to the burial fund, whatever that may be.

Hundreds and hundreds of Irishmen igentified with th riangle, we b found, favor our idea of u league, and have proved thoir wterest by promising us their support.
