MAXIMimVS OVERTHROW.

The Assistance Rendered by Gen. Sturm, Who Finih It Impossible to Secure Payment. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette Tho nearer our people approach intimate business relations with the citizens of Mexico, on account of the vast strides in railroad development in that couutry, the keener is the scrutiny with -which every branch of its public management is regarded. The facts connected with tho overthrow of the Austrian monarchy there and tb. establishment of the republic under the greatest of Mexicans, Juarez, and his heroic compatriots, are awakening a lively interest. Much is being said of late bout them in the uewspaper3,andin social and political circles, aud about President Diaz, his most successful general, and the friendly disposition of .his administration toward Americans; of his intentions to deal iustly with the creditors of Mexico; of the advance made in European markets of Mexican bonds and Mexican credit. Also, the elForts made to settle old debts by giving new bonds, bearing no interest for several yearv at from SO to 60 percent, of the face of the old debts,' no matter how just and equitable. And .this, notwithstanding there is an unpaid debt of gratitude as well as a more substantial recompense for important services and assistance Tendered by Americans ' during the vital emergencies occurring at the time of the French intervention 1c 1805-66 and '67. Several million dollars -were contributed during that pened by prominent Americans, under solemn pledges 'rom the Mexican republic, which have r.ot 3-et been repaid, but wait just recognition in confident expectation of ultimate justice. m Most prominent among these different claims is that of Gen. Herman Sturm, who, during the List twenty-four rears, has been attempting to seen re reimbursement and compensation, makiug several trips to Mexico to eilect a settlement, and receiving unfulfilled promises forhis reward. At this time he is, and has been for months past, in Mexico, making an effort to obtain the money so justly duo to him. It was reported Rome time since that President Diaz had assured him of full and com- , picte justice, but from reports recently received it is safe to say that ilia ucucitti wilt auTO iir ittuiu t,v vuu United States, as lie has done several times before, a disappointed mau, but wiser in this: 1 bat lie will nave learn ea that tne present administration of Mexico is no more friendly to Americans than former ones when it comes to paying money for claims which theyhave against the government, no matter how just or how long delayed. The trne history of the redemption of Mexican liberty is not yet written, and can never be without giving to General Sturm .a very important place. Among those who plaved a prominent part were Gen. Lew Wallace, General Grant, General Logan, General Andrew, Kobert Dale Owen, and Andrew Johnson, then President of the United States. General Carvajal had, for tho Mexican republic, made some unfortunate and unsuccessful attempts to 7rocure aid, funds anil arms. Every other agent of Mexico hud failed to do anything 'effectual, but upon the employment of General Sturm tho scene changed; credit .was given to her bonds; with them arms were procured, ships chartered, laden with the implements and munitions of war, and these were promptly delivered to tho patriots of Mexico, wuo used them in tho overthrow of the empire of Maximilian and Prior to this, by hiR efforts with the legislatures of various States, such as Massachusetts. Ohm. Indiana And Illinois. liA obtained the passage of strong resolutions against the empire and in favor of the reSeward, who soon after this warned, in his celebrated note of December, 1805, the French Emperor in such 6tvle that he caused the withdrawal of their rench troops from Mexico, leaving Maximilian liable to the misfortunes and defeats brought on by the freshly armed forces of the republic. (uegrauii resuxt ucjug me icsiuiuuuh ui the liberties of the Mexican people and the reconstruction of their republic. To illustrate the desperate condition of Mexican atlairs then, the following extract from a letter of General Carvajal, their agent, dated Aug. 25, 18tf5, is made: Two facts alone almost crush us: Our enemy is the most powerful in the world, and actually holds our cities and the ports from which we chiefly derive our revenue; and tho head of our government "with bis Cabinet iflin the corner of the most distant State of the republic, without money, or credit, or armv, facts well known to the people of the United States and calculated to influence every intelligent and prudent man to whom you may address yourself." This is tho language of despair. But umter these circumstances General Sturm undertook the task of procuring material aid for the forlorn republic under a contract with Carvajal. It was his task, to raise money, purchase arms, ammunition and military stores, procure ships, load them, get cleared, by leave of the Secretary of the Treasury, from our ports, and delivered in Mexico. That he did this promptly is proved by tho report of Mr. Kornero, soon utter made to hit own government, as appears by tho following extracts: "Thanks to the untiring energy and activity of this general, arms and munitions of war were purchased with bonds; and even ;heir transportation in steamers to the republic was paid by them." Speaking of tho shipment of the first cargo of arms, he says: lhe cargo left New York greatly to my surprise (for I did aot believe the operation could be made), in board the steamer Everman, which arrived safe at Matamoras. Xhe agent sent by General Sturm with them mcceeded in saving the greater part of them; which were at length handed over V Generals Escobedo and Viesca. and ; which well served both gentlemen in giv'ng a death-blow to the traitors." breaking further as to the cargo of the -Vixen; loaded with arms, he says: 'Fortu lately they arrrved safe aud did good service. General Diaz used them m taking Puebla." In this battle Maximilian was captured. Again he says: As for the prices of the goods bonsht, I must say hero that, considering the want we had of. them and the circumstances and manner in which tho purc hase was made, they were very fair. Could wo have had nionev to have bought . them for cash, undoubtedly we could have got them at lower prices; but we must recollect that we paid in bonds issued by a go vein men t that was not established and much less consolidated, and whose success , was so doubtful that, therefore, the holders of such bonds did run tho risk, in case that 'our enemies would triumph, that tiiey would not be recognized by them, or at least, if we should triumph, of not beintr paid the interest, as it has happened. If we take into consideration all these inat.ters,ndyet that the government of tho United atate3, with an excellent credit, had to sell it dollars at thirty cents, andthat th confederates cave a bale of cotton for each gun, we will come to the conclusion that tho price of in bonds we paid for Enfield and Springfield rifles was not so igh. When xve consider all that we bought, at a time when each gun was of inestimable value to us, and when our credit neither" was nor could be very high, and we reflect that the arms were sent under circumstances that were necessarily very urgent, to Generals Carvajal, Escobedo, Viesca, Diaz. Gaicia, Bcrrozobal. Pavon and others, the good servic e which thev have rendered, the moral effect which tho issuiugof the bonds and the purchase of the arms produced in the republic, discouraged our enemies, including Napoleon, and encouraged friends, which I had an onportunity to know, by the number of commissions sent to me from all parts at Washington; and when we consider that all this was accomplished with less than $2,000,000, iu bond, w hich at their market price can now be bought for i00,000. I think that nobody will believe that there was any bad management, or that the republic was unjustly brouuht in debt. In many other nations it will be believed, on the contrary, that prodigies have been effected, with an amount relatively insignificant." fo-day there is not a living statesman in Mexico whoxe word will go further than that of Mr.'Komero. Our Nation turned its face against Maximilian h empire, refused to recognize it, and all the while recognized the republic. General Strum and his friends received the nssnrance of the President of the United States that it was safe to loan money on Mexican bonds to secure the overthrow of a monarchy that might

prove to bo a troublesome neighbor to our racitic States. It will be remembered that an army under General Sheridan was at that time moved to the frontier on tho Southwest. Upon this the bouds were sold, arms and military stores were purchased, ships chartered and openly permitted by the Secretary of the Treasury to sail for Mexico to aid tho republic. Gen. Sturm was the moving spirit in all this. Louis Napoleon and Count Mostholon recognized him as their archenemy in Mexico, liere was the firot practical exemplification of the Monroe doctrine, in striking down this flagrant interference of the French and Austrian empires in American a flairs, and the vindication of the salutary policy that republican government only should exist on this continent The following remaikable historical document now finds its tirbt publication in a newspaper, indicative of our national policy then. It is liobert Dale Owen's memorandum of an interview with President Johnson on Thursday morning. Nov. 5, 1865: "I opened the conversation by stating to the President that, a few weeks since, Mr. Tift, of the firm of John W. Corlies & Co., financial agents of the republic of Mexico, proposed to me to uid him in negotiating the Mexican loan, then about to be brought into the market; that on inquiring of Mr. Tift how our government felt disposed toward such a loan, that gentleman informed me that he had just had an interview with himself (President Johnson) and with Mr. Seward, and that he was at liberty to say, in general terms, that the government of the United States was favorable to the loan, and desirous that it should be speedily taken up; that upon this representation I had agreed to assist in the atlairs of, tho loan agency, and that but for such assurance 1 should .have declined to do so. . - "I stated, further, that tho agency had already sent their advertisement of the loan to several hundred newspaper editors in all sections of the country, offering each a fifty-dollar Mexican bond if they would insert the advertisement to the amount of $30 an oiler which niue-tenthsof them had accepted, usually accompanying the advertisement with a favorable editorial, and frequently with a warm letter of encouragement; all this clearly indicating the state of public sentiment on the Mexican question. Then 1 added, in speaking to New York capitalists on the subject, and giving them my reasons for believing that the government favors this loan and desires its success, 1 had found myself met by the question: Mr. Owen, aro you authorized by the President to say either that while he remains President, Maximilian will not be recognized, or else that, if he should be recognized, those who subscribe to this loan would be in that case protected!' To which I had been obliged to reply that I was not authorized to say so, not having seen himself (the President) on the subject. 'I went on to say, further, that this was the object of my present visit to Washington, and I now 'desired to ask him, in caso he felt free to trust me in this matter, whether he would authorize me to say, not publicly, but in confidence to such capitalists as the loan might be offered to, either that Maximilian would not be recoguized by our government, or that if he was, the holders of the Mexican loan would be 6aved harmless. "He replied that he could conceive of no circumstances to ariso in the next three years and some months under which the government of Maximilian could possibly e recognized by our governmenL But admitting, for a moment, that such a thing were possible, it is certain that, in such a contingency, all claims of our citizens against Mexico would be provided for by treaty; and among these claims would be included the Mexican loan, inasmuch as it was subscribed for in good faith by citizens of the United States in aid of a repulic, at a time when the republic was recognized by us as tho legitimate government of Mexico, with whom we stand in friendly relations, as publicly acknowledged by the residence of her minister (Komero) among ns, aud by our refusal to receive a minister from Maximilian. 1 then asked the President whether he would be willing to state to a small deputation of New York capitalists what he had just stated to me. "He considered for a little while, and then said: 1 think it best, under the circumstances, not to make a formal or official matter of it. but that you should communicate the facts on my behaif. I authorize you to state these facts in confidence to individuals, when it becomes important iu a business point of view. I think that will be sufficient and satisfactory, and it is better it should not go to more persons than is necessary.' "Tho President, in the course of the conversation, assented to tho opinion that this loan, in its ultimate results, was likely, to prove the peaceful solution of the Mexican difficulty. "After a few remarks as to the great danger to our Pacific possessions from so powerful a neighbor as Maximilian, the conversation branched off to subjects connected with general politics. "Notes of this interview were taken by me a here set down immediately on my return from the President's to the hotel. "Washington, Nov. 9, 1865." The above brief recitation of facts shows that an Indianian had very much to do with the overthrow of tho Maximilian government in Mexico, and the memorandum of the late Hon. Kobert Dale Owen is now published for tho first time. General Sturm was a prominent figure in Indiana during the war of the rebellion. . It was at his instigation that Governor Morton established in Indianapolis an arsenal for the manufacture of ammunition for tho State. It was from that arsenal that Cincinnati was so abundantly aud promptly supplied when threatened by Kirby bmith. Many times during the rebellion the federal government was forced to call upon the Indianapolis arse nal for supplies in time of need. General Sturm had the management of the arsenal and so ably did he fulfill his trust that at the close of the war, when its atlairs were settled up, Governor Morton was able to turn over to the State something like $100,000 as profits accruing from sales to the general government and other States. It ought to be stated that Governor Morton borrowed the money to establish the arsenal on his own individual credit.

THE KGO DANCE. A Difficult and Delicate Feat Performed by East Indian Dancing Girls. Louis Routselet. A much more pleasing performance is tho "egg dance." This is executed in this wise: The dancer, dressed in a corsage and very short skirt, carries a willow wheel of moderate diameter fastened horizontally upon the top of her head. Around this wheel . threads are fastened, equally distant from each other, and at tho end or each of these threads is a slip noose, which is kept open by a glass beatf. Thus equipped, the young girl comes toward the spectators with a basket full of eggs, which she passes around for inspection to prove that they are real, and not imitations. , The music strikes up a jerky, monotonous strain, and the dancer begins to whirl around with great Tapidity. Then seizing an egg she pats it in one of the slip nooses, and, with b quick motion, throws it from her in such a way as to draw the knot tight. The swift turning of the dancer produces a centrifugal force which stretches the thread out straight like a ray shooting from the cir cumference of the circle. One after another th effs are thrown out in these slip nooses until they make a horizontal aureole or halo about the dancer's head. Then the dance becomes still more rapid, so rapid iu fact that it is ditlicnltto distinguish the features of the girl; tho moment is critic.nl; the least falso step, the least irregularity in time, and the eggs dash against each other. But how cau the dance bo stopped? There is but one way -that is. to remove the eggs iu tho way in which they have been put in place. This operation is by far the more delicate of the two. It is necessary that the dancer, by a single motion, exact and unerring, should take hold of the egg aud remove it from the noose. A single false motion of tho hand, the least interference with one of the threads, and tho geueral arrangement is suddenly broken and the whole performance disastrously ended. At last all the eggs are successfully removed: the dancer suddenly stops, aud without seeming in the least dizzied by this dance of twenty-live or thirty minutes, she advances to the spectators with a firm step and presents them the eggs, that are then broken in a dish to prove them real. r A Thin Costume.

From the Second Edition of Sunday's Journal. AMONG Till! SPOItTS. The Queer-Looking Gentry to Be Seen at the St. Charles Hotel What They Say. New Orleans, July 6. The St. Charles Hotel is the headquarters of many of the visiting sports, and nearly all of the newspaper correspondents. 1 he scenes around this noted hotel were very animated this afternoon. Nearly all the guests have an unmistakable sporting air about them. They aro mostly pugilists from every section of the country, sporting characters who have never missed a light and correspondents who have done every battle during the past fifteen years, 'lhey mingle freely, and each has his opinion as to the outcome of tho great mill, which ho expresses with common frequency. Checked suits, straw hats, russet shoes and flannel shirts are the prevailing costumes of these gentry. Many of them bear marks on their faces of hard scraps, and frequently an ear or piece of nose is found missing. The former aristocratic guests of the hotel, if they could reappear upon tho scene now, wculd instinctively feel down to see if their watches and money were safe in their pockets. Kilrain, accompanied by Charley Mitchell, came to the hotel about 1 o'clock, and was followed by -a nnmerous crowd, who were anxious to get a sight of the man who is to stand against Sullivan. They did not linger long, and the crowd, that followed them in likewise followed them out. Whilo the city is already well tilled with visiting sports, tho big crowd is expected to-morrow, and no doubt suitable accommodations will be at a premium. It is understood the first train that departs for the battleground will pull out about 1 o'clock Monday morning, to be followed ono hour later by the train which ;will contain spectators. Those who are hero to witness the tight ,will get no sleep on" Sunday night, and it is expected that both men will enter the ring between 0 and 8 o'clock on Monday morn ing. Snllivan contifiuesa hot favorite, and, barring accidents, the general impression prevails that he will win. Col. A. Andrews and son are registered at the St. Charles. Cob Andrews came all the way from San Francisco to see the big battle, and left home last Sunday. He had faith in the earnestness of the two men, and came simply and solely to see one of the men win the fight. CoL Andrews is a good looking old gentlemau, with a courteous manner' and pleasant address. Ho is a well-to-do citizen of the Pacific slope, but is an admirer of athletics, belongs to the leading athletic association in ban Francisco, and has seen most of the big fights that have been fought in his generation. When tho Colonel was asked who would win the tighi he replied. "Kilrain I believe, but I want to 6ee a good tight and the better man the victor." Young Andrews docs most of the talking of the party and he has pinned his faith and a good deal of his money to Sullivan. The two men brought with them a magnificently carved gold-headed cane which is to bo presented to tho loser of the tight. Colonel Andrews and his son will return to San Francisco as soon as the big mill is over. Sullivan Chafing Under Restraint. New Orleans, July 6. While Kilrain has the run of the town to-night, the Boston boy is closely confined to his room. The door of the room is locked on the outside, and Muldoon has the key in his breeches pocket. By the tatter's orders Sullivan is not at homo to even his most intimate friends. The champion is growing tired of the close restraint, and this morning he manifested an inclination to make a round of tho town with a negro cancan to-night ns a finale. Thereupon Muldoon turned. the -key in the door, and from tho outside proceeded to read tho riot act. The present, Muldoon said, was no time for fooling, he had himself put in too

much money to take any risks at this late stage, aud he proposed to be master until tho beginning of the mill Monday morning. "There is one thing I want you to understand," he remarked to Sullivan, "you are in for a three-hours' mill two hours of monkeying and an hour of solid work." "Three hours bo -," was Sullivan's morose response. " him, I'll whip him in twenty minutes." A good deal more talk of the same character was indulged in, but it ended in an expression of unreserved willingness on Sullivan's part to leave himself in his trainer's hands. The latter, however, was taking no chances and 60 he determined to keep his man iu solitary confinement for at least , eighteen hours. His term will expire at 6 o'clock to-morrow morning, "when, according to the programme known only to the initiated few. the champion will be smuggled out through a back alley and driven to a yacht in waiting at Lake End. All day to-morrow the vessel will cruise about Lake Pontchartrain. At sundown the word will be given, and the captain will make for a point in waiting at midnight. This is a change from the programme as announced yesterday, for reasons satisfactory to the Sullivan management, but it wiu be adhered to unless intervening developments combine to make it impracticable. Kilrain will go out by train on Sunday evening, as previously arranged. Sullivan1 has not been allowed to see a daily paper since he left Cincinnati, and he knows no more of the public pulse, or of what has been written concerning him pro and con, of the status of the betting, or of the movements or condition of his opponent than does the man in the moon. He only knows that he has got to fight, and fight to win, aud he assured Muldoon, at the close of the interview previously referred to, that he intended to do it. Deadly Battle with Strikers. ' Special to the lurtianaiwUs Journal. Dulutii, Minn., July a At 4:30 this afternoon a deadly combat ocenrrred between the police and 1,500 strikers, who have been out of work for tie past week. The latter had just come from the East End, and were well armed with clubs, pistols aud rocks. At Twentieth avenue west they outgeneraled the police by dividing in two sections, one going east and the other west. The police had been guarding seventy men who had preferred not to go on strike, as they were satisfied with their wages. The police went west, being attracted by a noise from the larger body of strikers. The other body then skipped around the block aud began pummofing the working men with clubs, and stopped them from working. The police turned back when they saw their mistake, and when they reached the sewer-trench, where the men had been working, were fired on by one of the strikers. They returned a whole volley of shots, whereupon the strikers did likewise. This was kept up by both sides for a full half hour, tho strikers firing from behing trenches and buildings, and the police standing bravely in the middle of Michigan street. After a while Company K, which had been under orders from the Governor since early morning, made its appearance, and soon cleared the street. One of the privates, Farrell, was seriously injured by an exploding cartridge. Many innocent persons were injured badly, and some will die. Following is a list of the dead and injured: . Dead En Johnson, shot through the brain by Detective lien&on, who leveled a rifle at htm when he was retreating and halt a block away. Ho was ono of the leading strikers. George Peterson, beaten to death by policemen, after he had made an attempt on the life of Officer llayden. Injured George Costin, shot in right shoulder; he had Just arrived two hours before from Dakota; Dot fatal. Edward Cummin ps, bayonet wound in groin; not fatal. Tom Fitzsiinmon., eighteen years ol J, shot in abdomen; will die. A. Talator, street-car driver, shot in head; not fatally. Louis Nelson, shot in calf of right leg; not serious. Nat Mack, shot through the body, the bullet passing through right thigh bone and coming out through left groin; will die; Feveriu Nelson, bullet in head; will probably recover. Mike Olson, bullet through left leg above the knee, and three through the scalp on the left part of the head, and another in the right forearm; very serious, but not fatal. Olo fctaruprid, fifteen bullet holes in his clothes; scratched, but not seriously injured. Officer Walkoviak, shot through the hip. OiHcer Kilgore, shot through the shoulder. John Shay, speotator, one linger shot off while carrying away the boy Fitzimraons. Captain McLaughlin, 6hot in tho hip; not eerious. Sergeant Clements, shot in tho hand fllghtly. Officer Donovan, two bad wounds, one of , which is in the hip. , , - ' , Jliither dispatch says the strikers first made a rush with clubs and rocks. The police stood their ground, and then tho carnage began. The strikers did the tirnt tiring. As the strikers made a rush a single shot was tired, then crack, crack, crack went the rifles of the police, followed by a

fusillade from the strikers revolvers. After the flm fire came an awful hush, as though the combatants were appalled at the awful result of their work. On the walk in front of Piedmont, as it joins Garfield avenue, lay a man shot through the heart and several more bleeding from ghastly wounds. Then the striker.-, stationing thenjaelves around the buildings in different parts of the block, between Oarfleld and Eighteenth avenue, poured in a steady tiro on the police, who were stationed near the sewer ditch. From 4 o'clock until after 5 the horrible work went on, and the battle did not withhold its fury long enough for the wounded to leave the Held. It was after 5 when the last shot was lired, and terrible Indeed has been the result. Over thirty-live are known to have been wounded, and two innocent victims, who only were there out of curiosity, paid for it with their Uvea. Captain Dewitt, of Company K, Second Regiment of the btate militia, early this morning xeceived orders from Governor Werriam, In fct. Paul, that would allow him to go to the scene whenever needed. The big deep bass whistle of Elevator D had been chosen as a signal to call the soldiers together, and about 5:30 this was sounded. In a short time they were rushing for the armory, and in ten minutes were piled into busses and on their way to the scene of disturbance. A succession of taps on the lire bell also aided to call them together, hy G o'clock they were at the trench where the tragedy had already taken place. At 5:30 Company K arrived, and with their bayonets drove the crowds from Michigan street. The Mnyor then made a speech from Michigan street sidewalk, at tho corner of Garfield avenue, ordering the crowd to disperse. Tae police and the militia then drove the crowds from all streets. At 6 o'clock the strikers had dispersed. At least thirty-five men are badly wounded, some it is feared fatally. Five strikers were arrested, all being ringleaders. South Fork Dam Owners Responsible. Johxstown, Pa., July 6. Coroner Evans and his jury finishes their work to-night at 9 o'clock, and in an hour rendered the following verdict: i We, the undersigned, in inquest impaneled to Investigate the cause of tho death of Ellen Ilite on the day of May 31, after hearing the testimony, we find that Ellen Ilite came to her death from drowning; that the drowning was : caused by the breaking of the South Fork dam. We further find from the testimony and what we saw on the ground, that there were not sufficient waste weirs. nor was the dam constructed strong enough, nor the proper material used to withstand tho overflow, and hence we find the owners of the dam were culpable in not making it as secure as it should have been, especially in view of the fact that a population of many thousand were in the valley below; and we hold that the owners are responsible for the fearful loss of life and property resulting from tho breaking of the dam. John Coho, Abraham Ferner, II. B. Blair, John II. Devine, John A. "Wisslnger, F. W. Cohick, The verdict was a surprise to every one, but appears to give general satisfaction to the residents of this place. Tho jury held six sessions, and carefully examined a dozen witnesses. German Roat Seized in Africa. (Copyright 1889, by the New York Associated Press. Eerun, July 6. The seizure of Dr. Peters's steamer Neara has been the subject of a communication between the Emin relief committee and Count Herbert Bismarck. The committee asked the government to protest against the action of tho English admiral, but Count Herbert decline!. The Cologne Gazette admits the legality of the seizure under the blockade, but denounces the real motive of the seizure, and adds that the expedition is opposed to English commercial interests, and is intended to interfere with the trade of the English African Lake Company. This unfriendly action will prejudico Germany's Drestige in Zanzi bar and along the coast. The paper expresses surprise that the English admiral should have beeu permitted to stop the expedition. In return, it says, a German warship might go to the mouth of the Zambesi and watch for aud seize ships that carry arms to the lakes company. Germany Menacing Switzerland. Copyright 1SS9, by the New York Associated Press. Berli.v, July 6. Prince Bismarck's letter to the German Minister at Berne published in tho Keiehsanzeiger on Thursday, havo been the prelude to a general outcry by the semi-ofneial press, menacing the neutrality of Switzerland. The Chancellor's intention iu publishing the letters, which was at first supposed to be merely for the purpoee of Justifying his attitude toward tswitzerlana, has invested with a serious roeanlnr the letter in which he frays that if . Switzerland continues to permit revolutionists to threaten the inInternal peace and security of the German empire, the powers will be asked to consider 8wlss neutrality. This is not an idle menace. An exchange of communications has resulted in an Identical policy being adopted by the Austrian

and Italian porernments to compel Switzerland to comply with the demands of Uismarck for a revision of the laws aliectinp refugees. The appointment of a new rroeureur-peneral at Berne indicates a desire on thepnrtof the lUindczrath to amend the laws in the direction of Prince Bismarck'siesires. The Chancellor is thus likely to accomplish his immediate object. Beyond that the dispatches lay a basis lor future action, gome of the semiofficial papers discover that the existence of Switzerland is anomalous, even if the Anarchist who Bismarck declares are unhindered in their work of disturbing Germany, were stamped out. For instance, an article apiears in the Bambcer Nachrichtcn, serenely proving that Switzerland has no raison d'etre. It declares that In the event of oertain Europeans changes, the German cantons ought to be absorbed by Germany, and the Italian cantons by Italy. The Ideas concern ine the matter are meantime academic, but withal, pregnant with danger. To-nighfa advices from Berne show that the government is alive to the possibilities of the aituatlon. The Bundezrath has concluded to negotiate a loan of 110,000,000 marks to provide rifles for the army. A syndicate of bankers, headed by the National Bank of Switzerland, will float the loan. Mapping Out the Work In North Dakota. Bismarck, N. D.t Jul 6. The only business of the constitutional convention to-day was the report of the committee on rules, which was ordered printed. The rules provide for twentythree committees, ranging in membership from live to fifteen. The convention then adjourned until Monday afternoon. The Republicans held a caucus, this afternoon, and nominated the minor officers. The work of the constitution-making will be assisted br a very active lobby, which Is on hand, and busily at work. The Prohibitionists are not largely represented on the floor of the convention, but they are represented by a strong lobby. The one-legislative-body idea grows in favor, and now seems to stand a good show of being given a trial at least. Apportionment will arouse much personal lighting, and will be settled with some difficulty. The election of President Fancher was thought by many to mean that the Farmers' Alliance was able to get whatever It asked, Mr. Fancher being the choice of that organization. However, the presiding officer starts out with no evidence or being influenced by any outside organization, and will probably prove that his enemlea have talked more than they knew any thing anout. A movement was reported to be on foot to take the appointment of the committees out of bis hand and make them by some other means, but this seemed to be unlounded, Gladstone's Compliment to America. Londok, July 6.The. Freedom of Cardiff was presented to Mr. Gladstone to-day. Mr. Gladstone's speech on the occasion was notable for the compliments he paid to America. Ho referred to her ' Constitution ns a marvel of political wisdom, exhibiting the benefits of devolution m contrast with the evils of too great centralization, of which France and Italy were examples. He would have liked to have brought with fclra the illuminated address sent him from Is'ew York, but it was too bulky. He brought Instead tho address sent him from Illinois. Theso and similar expressions of opinion on the homerule question from a nation rapidly advancing to the position of primary power of the Englishspeaking races ought to give every prudent Englishman material for reflection. "We are the first," he said, "to tell other nations their faults, but the last to listen to any one's advice. Crimes In West Virginia. Wheeling, W. Va.. July 6.

Howard was marching down through Tennessee General Whittle, sey, late president of tho Freedmen'a Hank, was assistant adjutant-general on his stall'. Whittlesey had been a clergyman down in Maine, and was fnllyas straight laxed as Howard. Ono day Howard drove into a farm-yard, from which "Whittlesey wasjus departing. A woman and her rrown daugh ter were standing outaide the door. "My good woman," 6aid Howard, "will yon kindly give me a drink of water!'1 - "No. Get out of my yard. A lot of moro ixnpident Yankees 1 never seed." 'But I have dono nothing and said nothing out of the way, and will severely pnnish any of my soldiers who should say or do anything wrong." 'That sojer insulted me," said she. pointing to the retreating form of General Whittlesey. "He axed me for a drink of water, and when I done give it to him he sa&sed. xne." But-tmt that is General Whittlesey, of my staf 1 am sure he wouldn't bo rude to any woman." "Maw." said the girl, pulling hermothers dress. "I reckon be moughtu't have meant anything misbcholden."

It wonM be hard to ie nojrihe cruel and ridiculous practice of "dockinir' horses', tails originated, but it may hjtve had its beginning in some notion as absurd as that which guided a certain simple-minded fanner in cropping the ears of his horse. 'For pity's sake, Tom!" exclaimed on of his neighbors, "you have spoiled tho looks of your horse by cropping his ears so close! What made yon do it!" "Oh, yon see," said Tom, "he had got terribly skittish, and was frightened at every thing he met, and would prick up his ears on tho smallest occasion, as if he had seen a ferocious wild beast. So, to cure him, X cropped his oars!'' i Practlc Against Theory. Leavenworth Times.
