Donovan, of the Chicago postoffiee; John A. Mason, of the New York custom kouse, and Edward S. Post, of the New i'ork rostoffiee, appointed by President Cleveland, last week, during the conference in Washington of local civil-service officers from the leading cities, to suggest modifications in the civil-service rules, finished its work in New York to-day. Ic was decided not to recommend any chance in the form of application by candidates, hut to recommend that, hereafter, ail examination papers be marked up in Washington; that the marKing be done by a board of fifteen members, made up as follows: Seven chosen from the departments of the government in Washington, one each from the custom-houses and postoffices of New York and Boston, one from the Philadelphia custom-house, and one each from the postofHeea of Baltimore, St. Louis and Chicago. The object in view in having all examination papers marked by this central board is to do away with all opportunity for suspicion of unfairness such as obtains in certain localities under the present local board system, and which tends to neutralize the objects sought for under the civil-servUe law. John Sherman's Daughter. .Boston Record. We notice a paragraph going the rounds that Senator John Sherman's one child is a daughter named Mary, who last year, for the first time, entered society in Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Sherman have no children of their own and never had. The circumstances of the adoption, many years ago, of this young girl were somewhat remarkable. The Senator and hia wife one day were visitinir an orphan asylum, with no thought of adopting one of its inmates, when this little child, then almost an infant, seemed to take a great fancy to the Senator, and would hardly consent to have him go away. This tonched a man, who is naturally stern and cold in his manner, for he probably bad not experienced for years so much disinterested warmth of feeling from any person as that shown by this little girl. The result was a sudden resolve to adopt her, and the Senator and his wife took the child home with them, where she has ever since been treated as their own daughter. There is romance enoueh In this episode to make a very pretty story, prorided John Sherman should be a candidate for President next year. Reserve Agents for Indlaua Hanks. Ipeeial to lu indianaDolis Journal. Washington, June 28.

Restoration of 3IaJr Rankle. Washington, Jane 28. An order was issued from the War Department to-day, by direction of the President, restoring to the army Maj. Benjamin P. Runkle, retired, who was dropped upon the judgment of the Court of Claims. This judgment was reversed by the United States Snpreme Court May 27. 1887. He will be borne upon the rolls of the army as never having been legally separated from the army. Another Presidential Jaunt. Washington Ppecial A White House attache is authority for the information that Mrs. Cleveland will make a prolonged visit at the magnificent country-seat of Smith Weed, in Clinton county.

Bird, with his wife and ' daughter Lctta. has arrived in the city and relates a terrible story of wrong and suffering endured while confined in prison at Del Norte, in old Mexico. Last winter Bird was the manager of an opera company touring in that country, and while playing in Del Norte the entire company were arrested upon a flimsy pretext and thrown into the same prison iu which editor Cutting was confined. They were denied a hearing on trial, and were not even allowed to see or converse with Americans, though several tried to see them. While they were confined four members of the company died of smallpox, while all suffered privations and sickness. Lately the company was released, having lost all their wardrobe and musical instruments. Steps have been taken to secure redress by placing the matter in the bands of tho proper authorities.

NEAY LAW FOR THE KNIGHTS

The Returns Show that the Amended Constitution flas Been Adopted. Manj Important Changes Made Threatened Strike of Standard-Oil Employes Bodjke Scenes Reprodnced in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, June 28. By returns made to the general headquarters of the Knights of Labor, this morning, the new constitution of the order, embodying many important changes, has been adopted by about a three-fourths vote. A clause providing for the formation of national trades assemblies, sent out separately from the constitution and voted upon by the local assemblies throughout the order, has also been adopted by nearly the same vote. The new constitution will be promulgated by the general executive board in a few days, and will go into effect immediately after its promulgation. An analysis of the vote shows that nearly half of the local assemblies that opposed the adoption of the new constitution did so on account of Sec. 325, which reads: "No local or other assembly or members shall, directly or indirectly, give or sell or have any ale, beer or intoxicating liquors of any kind at any meeting, party, sociable, ball, picnie or entertainment whatever appertaining to the order. Any member found guilty of violating this law shall be suspended not less than six months, or expelled. No fine shall be imposed for this offense. Any local or other assembly so offending shall be suspended during the pleasure of the general executive board, or shall have its charter revoked by said board." Nearly every assembly composed solely of Germans voted against this clause, and, therefore, against the whole. The article upon co-operation was adopted unanimously. It is quite lengthy, and provides for the creation and disbursement of a fund to aid co-operative enterprises. Each local assembly is required to collect and deposit a sum not less than two cents per month for every member in good standing. The money is to be invested by the co-operative board, and the profits are to be divided equally between the General Assembly, the co-operative fund and the workmen who create the profit The new constitution gives the general executive board full power to settle all strikes and disputes, whether sanctioned by the board or not, and it increases the powers of the general board in many other particulars. Hereafter each district, State, national or unattached local assembly, shall be entitled to one delegate to each 3,000 members or majority fraction thereof. The term of office, over which there has been so much controversy, has been fixed at two years. The compensation hereafter will be fixed by the General Assembly when the officer is elected. The national trades assembly clause is probably the most important of the changes. It provides that "any particular trade or calling may form a national trade assembly by giving at least three months' notice to each local assembly the entire membership of which is composed of such trade to attend a convention for the purpose of forming a national trade assembly." At least two-thirds of the local assemblies must vote in favor of the trade assembly, and not less than ten assemblies, if there be that number in the order, may receive a charter. Section 3 of the article is not very strong, however, as it still leaves the matter in the hands of the general executive board, which, if the law has been complied with, may instruct the general secretary to issue a charter. Votes will be received until July 15, and recorded, although the new constitution will be in effect some time before that, probably about July 1. Threatened Strike of Standard Oil Employes. Philadelphia, June 23. The striking oil men made a new move yesterday, which, if successful, may result in a general strike of all the employes of the Standard Oil Company throughout the country, especially in the refineries situated at Cleveland, Buffalo, New York, Brooklyn, Pittsburg, Bayonne and Oil City. Over 20,000 me a would be thus affected. The works of the Atlantic, and Philadelphia refining companies at Point Breeze are now almost effectually tied up.' The strikers are exceedingly vigilant . and have succeeded in persuading a great crowd of men from working in their places. An enthusiastic meeting of the strikers was held at Welder's Hall, yesterday afternoon. The arbitration committee presented the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, We have used every peaceful means to settle the strike; therefore. Resolved, That we lay the cause and origin of our strike before the manufacturing committee of the Standard Oil Company in New ork. Resolved, That we ask them to investigate the matter. If this attempt be unsuccessful, that we call on our brethren in all the refineries under the Standard Oil Company to come to our aid. The resolutions closed with an exhortation to be firm. Correspondence with New York has assured the strikers here of the suppor of their New York brethren. McGlynn and the Knights. New York June 28. At the headquarters of the Knights of Labor, to-day, it was stated that nothing was known as to the truth or falsity of the statement that Rev. Dr. McGlynn was going to join the Knights. It was said, however, if he joined, that those who expected to use him as a weapon to overthrow Powderly would be disappointed. Philadelphia, June 28. In reference to the dispatches which announce that Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn intends to become a Knight of Labor, and is also regarded by many as a probable formidable opponent of General Master Workman Powderly, General Secretary Litchman. of the K. of L., said this afternoon: "I know nothing further than what 1 hear from the dispatches published in the morning papers. If Dr. McGlynn wishes to join the order, I am sure he will be welcome. As for the statement that he will be an opponent to Mr. Powderly, it is simply a case of overwrought imagination. Dr. McGlynn could not, by any possible means, be even a delegate to the General Assembly inside of two years. He would have to first join a local assembly and be a member for six months before be could be a delegate to a district assembly, and then it would require eighteen months more to qualify him as a member of the General Assembly. The next General Assembly, when the election takes place, occurs next October." Bodyke Reproduced In Pennsylvania. Special Jto the Indianapolis Journal. Pittsburg, Juno 28. Sheriff Gray and nineteen deputies went to Natrona, to-day, to evict several of the strikers who haa been served with legal notice to vacate the houses of the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company. They met with a warm reception. They were shown about the various houses by John Ritchey, a book-keeper in the employ of the company. Ritchey and two deputies had pepper thrown into their eyes by the women, and the other deputies were treated to a shower of stones and mud. Two deputies were severely burned in removing a hot stove on which dinner for the family was being prepared. The greatest excitement prevailed. A parade of the strikers, with a martial band at the head, moved through the streets, and a rior was scarcely prevented. Serious trouble is anticipated. Building Trades Convention. Chicago, June 23. The national convention of building trades unions assembled in this city to-day. , J. J. McGuire ' of Philadelphia, was elected temporary chairman. The report of the committee on credentials showed that seventy-four delegates from eleven cities are - present. All the building trades are represented. Mr. Brick, of Brooklyn, was elected president. A permanent secretary was then appointed, and the meeting adjourned. Cotton Mills Shut Down. Woonsocket, R. I., June 28. The three large cotton mills at Manville have shut down indefinitely on account of the weavers' strike, and the mill officials have notified all former employes to quit the company's tenements. When business is resumed, new help will be engaged, irrespective of former services. No proposition of a settlement will be entertained. The operatives, who number 2,000, are mostly French Canadians, and are fast leaving the village. The Royal Scottish Clans. Chicago. June 23. The eighth annual meeting of the Royal Scottish Clans is being held in this city. Representatives are present from various orders in the United States and Canada. The meeting will continue throughout the week, the object being to revise the constitution of the order and discuss the future of the organization. The only purpose of the'order at present is to furnish cheap insurance to Scotchmen. Among those present are John Kinnear, royal chief, of Cambridge, Mass.; Alex. McKay, royal tecre-

tary, TJtica, N. Y.; J. C Dodds, royal recording secretary, of St. Louis, Mo.; K. R. Scott, past royal chief; Alexander MacKenzie, royal chaplain; A. G. Murry, royal tanist; Alex. Frazer, royal henchman; J. S. Graham, royal warder, and James Duncan, royal sentinel.

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The body of George D. Morse, a well-known cattle dealer and soap manufacturer was found in the bay at Toronto. Ont,, yesterday. It is supposed that he accidentally fell into the water. Mrs. Johanna Plessinger, sixty-nine years of age, residing at Newark, N. J., was fatally burned about the back and limbs last night by the explosion of a fire-cracker which some boys had thrown beneath her dress. Jack Hayes, murderer of Phillip Mueller, whose case has been in the St Louis courts for six years, and who was under sentence to be banged on Friday, July 1, was declared insane yesterday, and ordered to be forwarded to the insane asylum. McA. McCue, of Washington, D. C, one of the Solictors of the Treasury Department, is in Cincinnati, at the request of Comptroller ot the Currency Trenholm. The district attorney's office is engaged in gathering evidence to be used in the prosecution of the men now under arrest. Harrison B. McCreary, aged forty-six year3, committed suicide in the yard in the rear of his residence m Utica, N. 1., yesterday, by cutting his throat with a razor. His wife died about three months ago, since when be had been very despondent and expressed fear that he would become insane. The two Oriental steamship lines from San Francsico have reduced cabin fare from San Francisco to Hong Kong, and Yokohamo to $200, a reduction of $100, and $50, respectively, and have made the round trip rate to the two cities $350. This is in consequence of the Canadian competition. News was brought to Ozark, Mo., yesterday, of a foul murder committed in Douglas county last Thursday. Pemberton Hartless, who lives on Beaver creek, not far from Ava, while on his way to mill, was shot and instantly killed by an unknown assassin in ambush. Suspicion rests upon a man who recently attempted to murder a citizen of the county. The grand jury has indicted Tony Miller, formerly an alderman in New York, for connection with the financial transactions ot ex-District Attorney Thomas P. McGowan, under indictment for stealing $20,000 of the funds of the town of Newton when he was supervisor of that town. McGowan is now in Canada. Miller was arrested and whs allowed until this afternoon to furnish $5,000 bail. BUTLER AM) THE BELLS. How the Commanding General at New Orleans Assisted In the Cause of Religion. To the Editor cf the New York Sun: The following extract from the Washington Post of this morning leads me to give a detail of the war of which the editor and correspondent evidently know nothing, and there may be others possibly similarly ignorant: "A correspondent of the Bangor Commercial writes that when Ben Butler claims to have returned all the property taken from the South he must have forgotten a church bell that was sold to the Baptist Church of Wayne, in this State. The idea conveyed, if true, is essentially characteristic of Butler. He can't even assist in the cause of religion, except in a manner peculiarly his own." When New Orleans was captured, in May, 1862. in one of its squares was found a large number of church and plantation bells which had been donated to the rebels in New Orleans to be cast into cannon. The bell of St. Patrick's Cathedral, in New Orleans, had been taken from its hangings to the bell deck, preparatory to lowering it to the ground to be used for the same purpose. The property aud considerable other like sort to be dedicated by the owners to warlike purposes against the United States, seemed to the commanding General to be contraband ot war, and having been captured, belonged to the United States. The General had many transports returning to Boston which needed ballast. He, therefore, ordered these bells and useless cannon and other material of like sort to be put on board returning transports, consigned to the United States quartermaster at Boston. The bell of St. Patrick's Church escaped only because the clergyman claimed it had not been delivered. He was given the benefit of the doubt, it being a manner peculiarly his own, in the commanding general to "assist in the cause of religion" in that way if he could. St. Patrick's bell was rehanged. The other bells were to sell at auction in Boston, an' as there were manv of them, Quite a number of churches and school-houses in New England call their members and scholars together by the aid of bells so dedicated, which were captured from the enemies of the United States. Who will advocate their return? This transaction all appears on the files of the accounting office of the treasury. Narratives of it were published at the time, and commendation of all newspaper men. As I write this for the information of the people at lare, I do not send it to the Washington Post. Benj. F. Bctler. Washington-, Juno 25. 1887. A'alne of a Dyspeptic Mayor. Boston Record. New York is discovering that dyspepsia is an invaluable ailment for a municipal executive. He attempts to alight from bis carriage and is annoyed at the ash barrels on the curb-stones and he complains; result the New York ash barrel has disappeared. He gets crushed in a ferry-boat, and the ferry companies are sharply brought to an accounting. Dust flies in his eyes while walking on a side street, and a gang of men is set to work the next day cleaning it up, and so it goes. New York has got a vital interest in it's Mayor's nervousness and dyspepsia. Obituary. Burlington, la., June 28. Rev.

LETTERS FR03I THE PEOPLE.

Liberal Treatment of Corporations. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I wish to call attention to some points In the assessment of corporations made by the Board of Equalization as published in-the Journal of last Friday. Taking nine corporations and com paring them with the list as published one year ago, it shows the following result: 1SSG. 1887. Rednction. Acme Milling Co $47,772 $4.3S9 $43.:5G3 Atlas works 70,500 40.000 24.500 Bowen-Merrill Co 63,120 54.000 9.120 City Street-railway Co. 192.405 144.230 48,175 Electric-lurht Co 50,000 5.000 45.000 Haugh, Ketcham& Co. 45.000 38.1S0 6,620 Iudianap's Cabinet Co. 75,000 67.300 7,640 IndianaDolis Gas Co... 500,000 407,340 32.660 Indianapolis Water Co. 200,000 200,000 100,000 Total reduction of assessment. ....... $317,278 There may be some good reason for this large reduction, but as the corporations are all known to be prosperous it is difficult to acccount for this large falling off of taxable assets. The board seems to have been exceedingly kind to those corporations serving the city, viz.: The Water Company, the Gas Company, the Electriclight Company, and the Citizens' Street-railway Company, making their assessments $225,835 less than they were last year. Indianapolis, June 27. The Pendinc Treaty with Russia. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: We have been looking complacently on the intrigues of Russia for the partition of the "sick man's" assets in the same way that she divided Poland a century ago; we have quietly watched her stealthy absorption of Turkestan and her silent enroachments upon the Afghan highway to India; we have seen her brutally violating the plainest good faith with her helpless Bulgarian kindred, kidnaping their Prince in the dead of night and attempting to control their affairs against the protest of the people, and we have been comforted with the reflection that we, at least, were beyond the reach of the blighting influence of her military power, as well as her mendacious diplomacy. But recent occurrences show that she has her eye upon us, also; that she desires, not indeed our possessions, nor an offensive or defensive alliance, which would be entirely worthless to her, but our moral and legislative support for the perpetuation of her despotism. She asks from us a treaty by which the American people shall become the hunter of all the enemies of the Czar. It is not many days since the following appeared in our public press: "Washington, May 23. "Russian papers just received make plain the Russian government's hopes concerning the pending extradition treaty with the United States and throw new light on the Russian purpose. The Novoe Vremya, of St Petersburg, in an article on the treaty says: 'The Russo-Amer-ican treaty is not yet published, as it is not yet approved by the Senate of the United States. However, nobody in our government doubts that the Senate of the great transatlantic Republic will accept it without any change, and the United States will give to the civilized world the first instance of a correct and just discrimination between political crimes and ordinary capital crimes, committed under the disguise of a "political struggle."' "The Russian press, which is under pressure of the imperial censure, by tiiis welcome of the Russian-American extradition treaty in its original shape, makes it plain that the point ic the treaty which Russia considers of the greatest importance is this: That the United States government shall declare that the nihilist movement in Russia has no political meaning at all, and that any revolution which should endanger the Czar's life even war for constitutional government shall be declared in advance by the American Republic, so far as a treaty can declare it, simply a plot to commit murder. "Tbis is a concession, as well as a confession, which the Russian government has not yet got from any power except Germany and Austria. No other country has formally agreed to surrender Russian political criminals. "Recently, the Russian government tried its utmost in influencing England to deny the right ot asylum to Russian political criminals, but the. British government remained true to its traditional idea of asylum. Article IV of the treaty concluded between Russia and England, Feb. 2, 1SS7, runs as follows: 'A criminal is not to be extradited if the crime for which hi3 extradition is demanded - is a political one, or if he shall prove that his extradition is demanded with a view to prosecute or punish him for a crime of a political nature.'" The Russian-American treaty also excludes extradition for political crimes (Art. 3), but the following exception makes this article null and void. "Murder and manslaughter, comprising the willful or negligent killing of the sovereign or chief magistrate of the state, or of any member of his family, as well as an attempt to commit or participate in the said crimes, shall not be considered an offense of a political character." - It is a common principle among free peoples, that the right of extradition shall never be claimed for the recovery of political offenders. The greatest reformers of the century have been protected by this principle Mazzini, Garibaldi, Victor Hugo, Kossuth, Castelar. These very names are an inspiration to liberty, which would have been stifled if the claim of "political crime" could haye been made the pretext for their extradition and punishment. Any other rule would make all governments on earth the allies of each other in the maintenance of every existing tyranny. The destruction of human life is, unfortunately, too often an inseparable incident of revolution. Even in constitutional monarchies the act of treason is defined, "to compass the death of the King." But in Russia, the Czar, against whom all revolutionary efforts must be directed, tince he embodies in his person the whole state, this Czar is the first to ask that he and his family shall be personally exempt from the present salutary rule of international jurisprudence. He asks us to enact a law which shall provide that when the cloud of revolution shall break over his empire, the killing of his helpless and perhaps unwilling instruments may go unpunished, but that the blow aimed at himself, the master, shall be followed by the surrender of the fugitives, to be buried alive in the mines of Siberia, to be committed to the hand of the executioner, or worst of all, to be consigned to the refined tortures of the Troubetskoi Ravelin. Before we grant this special favor to Alexander, let us examine carefully the character of the government which demands it. Against whom are the provisions of this article directed? From what people does the Czar solicit this special interference? What will be the consequences of our acquiescence? The government which asks this exemption is the only one in the civilized world which allows no rights whatever to any human being within its domain, except the autocrat. Men talk of the emancipation of the serfs, but serfs and masters alike live to day in utter subjection to the will of the Emperor. In our system of African slavery there were some limits to the master's authority; the power of life and death were beyond him. But there are no bounds to the power of the Czar. Not only are the minutest relations of life subject to his caprices, but life itself is wholly dependent upon his wilL Not only is his power theoretically unlimited, but it is actually exercised in a manner so capricious as to out age the conscience of mankind. It is forbidden to the millions of Little Russia to print or sell book or paper in theirnative tongue. The literature of avast people is thus annihilated. The constitution granted to Poland at the beginning of this century was faithlessly withdrawn by the mere exercise of arbitrary will, and those who resisted, even passively and without attempt at force or rebellion, were despoiled of their property and banished to distant provinces. To the Polish subject it is forbidden to-day that his child shall learn his own language, even in the schools of his own capital. In a systematic effort to enslave the minds of the people, education is stifled in the universities, the polytechnics, and even the primary schools, while no means whatever are afforded to the great mass of the subjects of Russia to acquire even the most rudimentary branches of instruction. The press is throttled by an arbitrary and unjust censorship. Newspapers are capriciously suspended and suppressed; standard works on political science are forbidden, and even the oral utterance of proscribed opinions is mercilessly punished. The agents of the secret police swarm everywhere. Arbitrary and unwarrantable searches in great number are made at dead of night in private households. Men are imprisoned for years, awaiting trial for offenses, when there is no proof of their guilt, and by a system of administrative exile thousands are banished and transported to distant and inhospitable regions, without conviction or any form of trial. The sovereign who seeks our assistance in hunting down the men who plot against him is the one who has forbidden the people of Bulgaria to punish the conspirators who kidnaped their beloved ruler, although these conspirators were arrested on Bulgarian soil. This is the man and this is the government which asks our aid for the perpetuation of its iniquities. Against whom does the Czar ask this special protection? Against the only men in Russia who dare to strike a blow for their liberties; against men who, born and bred among the educated and favored classes, have the magnanimity to demand that privileges equal to those which they enjoy shall be granted to the poor, ignorant peasantry of their fatherland,

and that all shall exercise, by means of that universal suffrage which we consider the basis of good government, an equal power for the protection of 'their interests and the assertion of their inalienable rights. These men belong, not to.thatlow order of humanity which seeks nothing better than its own good; they belong to the same class as John Brown, men who unselfishly seek the elevation of an oppressed people. They have sought relief in vain by every other method than the sword; at first, by peaceful propaganda, by an attempt to create an enlightened public sentiment, but their efforts were met by stern edicts of banishment to Siberia or of still crueler confinement in the pitiless fortresses of Russia. Their humble petitions for relief were haughtily spurned; no avenue for redress remained, and when, at last, they were driven to employ the terrible engines of modern destruction, against the visible head of the great power which oppressed them, it was only after repeated warnings and fruitless efforts to acquire by other means that constitutional mode of righting their wrongs which is possessed by every other civilized people in the world. Those men have shown that they know bow to suffer and to die for a cause which they hold sacred. Their infinite constancy under the sorrows of exile and in the hour of death, show them to be made of the same stuff as those who, centuries ago, in times which we call barbarous, submitted to a martyrdom not half so cruel as that which they suffer today. Those men are the logical associates, not of Wilkes Booth or of Guiteau, but of Junius Brutus and Charlotto Corday. unselfish liberators of humanity. It is against such men that we are to let loose the hounds of persecution. Of whom does Russia demand this act of servitude? From a republic which teaches its children that resistance to tyrants is obedience to God. From a people whose infant cry was the first to declare to mankind the self-evident truths that a'l men were created equal; that they were endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these were life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments were instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the eonsent of the governed. It is the last great despotism on earth, the only one which has withstood the glare of modern civilization, which demands the aid of the foremost champion of liberty in forging the more securely the fetters which binds its slaves. The result of our acquiescence will be not so much the greater personal security of the sovereign as the moral sanction which our support will give to the perpetuation of the merciless servitude in which he holds hiB hundred million subjects. The people of America transformed into the slave-hunters of Muscovy! What a bulwark for autocratic power! Shall we employ the same breed of bloodhounds ; which our Republic hired a generation since to hunt a few wretched fugitives in the swamps of Florida? Is the lesson of the past so soon to be forgotten? And when some fugitive from Siberian mines, perhaps a woman like Olga Lioubatovitcb, stripped and outraged by her brutal convoy of soldier! . shall break away and gain our shores, a suppliant, (as Bakunin did, not many years ago), how blithely shall we, who are always prating of liberty, consign her once again to the tender mercies of "Holy Russia." It is inconceivable that a treaty "containing the "third article" could have passed even its preliminary stages at the hands of an administration elected by any other party than the one which enacted the fugitive slave law, and declared in its uatioual platform "non-interference with slavery in the Territories." No State department but one whose chief sympathized with the system of human bondage, for which America has so bitterly atoned, would ever have permitted that clause to be placed in a treaty with the great slave power of to-day. Russia, Austria and Prussia, the despoilers of Polish liberty! Let them renew again their "holy alliance" against human rights. America will never make the fourth. The Senate of the United States is still in the hands of those who have inherited memories of Sumner and Lincoln. Men are still there who remember the meaning of the old struggle, and who will not hear its faintest echoes repeated for the benefit of a foreign power. Wm. D. Foulke. Richmond, Ind., June 27.

THE POISONING OF DAWHO LAKE. Surrounded by a Dense Growth of Black Gum Trees The Problem Solved. A special to the Atlanta Constitution from Columbia, S. C, says: The story of the poison ing of Dawho lake, in Georgetown county, by a hail storm, as telegraphed the Constitution on the 8th inst., and which many persons supposed ta be exceedingly "fishy," has been corroborated in every particular by a prominent citizen of Georgetown, who has investigated tho matter at the request of General Greely, chief of the weather service. A dense mass of black gum trees surrounds the lake on all ondes. It is well known that the leaves of this tree are strongly impregnated with tannic acid. It has also been ascertained that the bottom of the lake contains a slight deposit of iron. The poisoning of the water, therefore, is thus explained. The hailstorm bruised and filled the lake with the leaves and small branches of the tree, the tafrnic acid emanating from which mingled with the iron and formed tannate ot iron, causing the water to turn black as ink and bitter as quinine, and poisoning the fishes by thousands. Some of the people living in that neighborhood believe that the condition of the lake is due to a judgment from God. This lake is, in reality, a God send for many a poor family near by. They get fish from it the year around, and if it is not replenished soon it will be a judgment to tbem, sure enough. One species of the fish inhabiting tbis lake survived the singular disaster, and that was the mud fish, which buried itself in the mud at the bottom, and thus escaped the effects of the poison. The stench arising from the mass of dead and rotten fish is described as fearful. The thousands of buzzards taking their departure in the evening for their roosting places, after a day's feast, are described as making a noise similar to that of an approaching cyclone. On each end of Dawho lake, about half a mile distant, is a small lake, in which numbers of fish also abound, but which, upon examination, show no signs of the hail storm which swept over Dawho. This confirms the belief that the direct cause of the disaster to the fish is due to the hail-storm. The Wicked Blaine. Philadelphia Press. Our friends the enemy should not overlook the ominous fact that James G. Blaine has accepted an invitation to visit Wiliiam E. Gladstone. The Democratic organ that cannot see that this is the forerunner of a deep-laid scheme to capture the throne of England for Gladstone and the presidency of tho United States for Blaine ought to go out of business.

They should understand that Colonel Lamont was busy at the time and that Mr. Cleveland had to compose it all by himself. Pleasant Recollections Recalled. Louisville Commercial.
