M. Townsend, who was a candi- date tor Recorder of Deeds, but accepted a clerkship in the Inter- ‘or Department, was a meeting to extold the virtues of Carson, Mor- ris, Townsend aud others. Town- send wauted to couvey the idea that he resigned because he loved bis race better than he did his office, THE SECRET of Mr. Townsends resignation is, that he was angry because Presi- deut Harrison did not make bim Recorder of Deeds tor this city, and no one knows it better than McCabe of Oklahoma. 1f McCabe will tell the truth and he can wheu be wants to, he will confirm, this statement: Soon after Townsend Was made recorder of the Land Of- fice, be prepared a letter to tbe President to the effect that he would resign if be was not given a better place; this was to scare the President. The President beard of Townsend’s mtentioas but the resignation uever reached bim, uutil Townsend was convinced that the President regarded him a very small man. Townsend’s SECOND LETTER to the President was an attack on Bruce, Lynch, Douglass and Lang- ston. McCabe advised Townsend uot to send that letter because he would loose his case. At the sugges- tion of McCabe the letter was modi- fied and tne direct attack-on these wen waseliminated from the letter. The third letter was prepared by a friend of the editor whose pame the editor cannot disclose without permission, This is the letter that put Townsend in the “hole.” In this letter Townsend attempted to dictate to the Presi- dent in regard to Nortbern repre- sentation tothe exclasion of the South. This letter was written by ove of the best informed Negroes in this country and a politician. Townsend made his own coffin and dug his own grave when he sent this letterto the President. During all this time Townsend made every effort to persuade the President to appoint him to a better place, bur he failed aud after fiuding out that there was no use to attempt to balldoze the President any farther he next at- valay Thorpten i a very goo cllow, when be talks rigit.

NATIONAL CAPIPAL, APA Late News at the Seat of Government. In Favor of Underground Wires. The District of Columbia electrical commission, appointed by President Har- rison under an act of the last Congress, has submitted its report. Briefly, the re- port declares overhead wires objection- able in cities and underground wires practicable. Suggestions for a perma: nent District electrical bureau are alsc made. Congress will doubtless adopt the suggestions of the commission, and thus a step in the right direction will be made at the national capital. Chili Is Defiant. In response to a demand from Minister Egan, under instructions from Washing: ton, for an explamation of the recent assault upon American sailors in Val- paraiso, the Chilian government has re- plied disclaiming any responsibility for the affair. Cipher dispatches have been Passing between the State Department and Minister Egan, and President Harvi- son and Secretary Blaine have been in fre- quent consultation. Exciting rumors as to probable hostilities have been freely circulated. So far, however, the diplo- matic stage of the controversy has beev hardly opened, and, while the reply of the Chilian foreign minister tothe Amer- ican demand was undoubtedly discourte- ous, there has as yet been no real com- plication that would render war neces- sary. The Chilian officials are proceed- ing to investigate the riotous proceedings in Valparaiso, and our Government will await their report of the affair unless ac- tion should be unnecessarily delayed, which seems improbable. It is believed at the State Department that the outrage on the Baltimore's sailors was entirely unjustified, and, while Chilians will be given full time to investigate, there will be no failure to insist upon a proper apol- ogy and reparation unless the Chilians are able to present facts in justification of the assault that have not yet appeared. A Circular to Pension Attorneys. The Commissioner of Pensions has is- sued the following circular to attorneys practicing before the Bureau of Pensio “Affidavits and other important paper filed by many leading attorneys through- out the country are not properly briefed by them, and as a result it is impossible for the bureau to properly file such docu- ments withour a search of the records of the bureau for the purpose of iden- tification. This oversight on the part of practitioners not only in- creases the work of the bureau, but necessarily delays the ajudication of the claims to which papers relate, and 1 desire to call the attention of the attor- neys to this fact in order that they may see that all papers forwarded by them are 30 indorsed that no delay will ensue in their reaching the proper cases. Many meritorious claims are delayed by the failure of evidence to reach them, owing to a lack of sufficient data to identify the claims.” Notes. An effort will be made to have the custom house transferred from George- town to Washington. A statement to the effect that Minister Patrick Egan has been recalled from Chili is in circulation. Paraguay has officially accepted an in- vitation to participate in the World’s Columbian exposition. It is pretty well understood that the President has tendered the War Depart- ment to Stephen B. Elkins. Doctor de Mendonna, the new minis- ter from Brazil, says that the commer- cial treaty with this country will be ac- cepted. Senor Mont, representative from Chili, has had audience with Secretary Blaine in regard to the difficulty over the affair of the injured Baltimore sailors. Mr. John S. Durham, the new minister and the consul general of the ted States at Port au Prince, Hayti, was re- ceived by President Hyppolite at the Palais National ina speech of cordial wel- come. The United States steamer Detroit was faunched last week at Baltimore. This new addition to our navy is a 2,000 ton steel cruiser, carrying two guns of six inch caliber and eight of four inch. Her speed will be 17 knots. A sister ship to the Detroit, to be named the Mobile, will be launched in about a month. Some of Jersey’s Swamps to Be Dried. Three powerful hydraulic steam dredg- ing machines will begin work early next month on filling in and reclaiming the marsh lands back of Atlantic City. The novel part of the work of the dredging machine is that the dredgings may be forced through a pipe a mile and a quar- ter long to the mainland. There will thus be saved the expense of towing barges. The method will be to dredge the material from the Inlet by means of a centrifugal pump and force it ashore through pipes carried on scows or pon- soons. The land where the deposit will be made will be diked to prevent the de- posit from running into the water again. These machines have done wonderful work on the California coast, having been used to reclaim hundreds of acres of land at San Francisco. Trouble Ahead for the Drug Trust. United States District Attorney Rey- nolds, of St. Louis, Mo., has decided to begin an active campaign against the St. Louis Apothecarie: sociation, or “Drug Trust.” The officers of the trust notified all wholesale dealers in the United States that all patronage will be with- drawn from those houses selling to local druggists who are not members of the trust, and appended a list of those de- clining to join. Asaresulta firm outside the trust received notice from a well known New York house that the latter could not fill an order for patent medi- cine until the concern entered into the “combine.” The latter was turned over It is the | to Mr. Reynolds, who will place the mat- ter before the United States grand jury. - ~~ TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS. General R. B. Hayes expects to visit South Carolina this month. The Princes Albert Victor and George | of Wales visited Parnell’s grave at Dub- | tin, and placed wreathes théreon.

Later advices from Hiogo, Japan, place the number of lives lost in the re cent earthquake at over 10,000. Many vessels were wrecked and 30,000 build- ings destroyed. Jacob Schaefer and George F. Slosson will play a match game of billiards in New York for $500a side and the balk line championship. Sullivan and Slavin are engaged ina very fierce battle of words. Snow has fallen heavily in Minnesota and North Dakota. The German kaiser is urging extreme measures to suppress immorality ir Berlin. The Salton lake which created so much excitement a few months ago, is now nearly dried up. Sixty-eight colored people sailed from New York for Monrovia, Liberia. They go out as colonists under the auspices of the American Colonization Society, and are all from Florida. The empress of Germany has become a kodak tiend. The czar, the Princess of Wales, and her daughters are hobnobbing in Dantzic. Of the 12,000 printers who struck in Berlin 3,000 have been granted a nine hour day. Over 500,000 Mayflower buds have been shipped to the United States via Ham burg. | Prince Bismarck opposes the law which reduces the army service in Germany to two years. Electricity is used to tame wild animals by Waldemar Otto, in Germany, by means of a whip connected with a bat- tery. Emperor William will establish a cook- ing school to educate chefs for the im- perial household. In New Hampshire 166,264 people have deposited $71,058,000 in savings banks and trust companies during the year up to October 1. The Prince of Wales’s house at Sand- cingham was damaged $75,000 by fire. Paraguay has added 10 cents to the tariff duty on flour. Brazil farmers are making more money growing grapes than coffee. A new railroad from Puerto Plata, Chili, to the interior of the country is nearly completed. It is said that Secretary Blaine already shows the wear of his labors since return- ing to Washington.

J., tohave the recent mayoralty election set aside and a new election or- dered. Two petitions were submitted under the laws of 1871 and 1876, charg: ing that nearly 2,000 fraudulent votes were cast. Justice Depue said he would hear argument this week THE FINANCES OF EUROPE. France Carrying Too Much Russian Loan—Spaniards Need Money. A London dispatch says: Although the rise in the Bank of England rate has for the moment checked the drain of gold, a further demand is imminent. Withdrawals are being heard of on ac- count of Buenos Ayres, Egypt, America, and Germany, while only small ship- ments are coming from Brazil and Aus- tralia. It is daily becoming more clear that French financial houses are saddled with more Russian stocks than they are able to carry, especially too much of the new loan, to unload themselves of which they are taking every quiet method known, Spanish securities also weigh down the foreign markets. The negotiations with the Paris Rothschilds, undertaken by the Bank of Spain to secure a gold loan, hang fire, and the gold premium at Madrid keeps high. An uneasy feeling, there. fore, prevails there regarding the outcome of the approaching Paris settlement. A Boston Bank Closes. The Maverick National Bank, one of the largest financial institutions in Bos- ton, has closed its doors and is in great trouble. For a week past the United States bank examiner has been at work on the books of the concern endeavoring tc learn something of its condition, and the notice that the concern was closed on Monday created a sensation. The bank has been carried down by the wild speculations of the late “Nervy” Evans, who committed suicide about two weeks ago. Persons having intlu- ence with the bank managed to get good sized sums for the dashing broker, and now it is learned he was a bankrupt. It is said now that instead of there be- ing a margin in Evans's favor his firm is over $250,000 in debt, and that a good part of this andother sums are due to the Maverick Bank. Quay Sues for Libel. Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, has retained counsel to institute libel suite against several newspapers throughout his State, for publishing the fac simile of a certificate of deposit for $8,877 signed by him and John Bardsley, and which was said to be a dishonest transaction. J. . Cesiidge HARNESS ATTACHMENT Patented NovemMBER 131u, 1888. . Oo J. S. Coolidges Harness attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the market. It is so arranged that any one can secure it to any harvess, in three minutes, without cutting th same in any way, right out in the streat. It can be taken off th harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its forme style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hiteh ing aud unhitehing as a horse can be attached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extricated in less than 5 seconds. It is au ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is re movable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when worn. The particular advantage this device possesses over oth- ers Consists in the construction of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as hasbeen heretofore necessary in order to use devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines be ing connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unmanageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the piate 16 a- side and release the animal trom the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch a horse without the slightest trouble. Thousands of the attachments are being used every day. ALEXANDRIA. Va. T. E. Dulany. Dulany and Son.

DEAR SIR: I desire to extend to you my thanks fer the very satisfactory manner in which you served the refreshments at my house on the oceasion of the wedding. The beauty and excellence of the ‘sbride’s cake” together with the fine quality of the ice-cream, brought forth the praises of the guests many of whom thought, as amatter of course, it came from one of the first-class places down town which would tolerate us at the store just long enough to re- ceive the order. I congratulate you and the self respecting colored people of this city that we bayea place where we can get first-class service in your line, without any discrimination. I bope you will be able to continue to cater to the public, and to treat all of your pat- rons alike. Respectfully yours, ANDEEW F. HILYER, October 28th 1891, RO ectty —aed
