General Hancock arrived .here this morning. He telegraphed herefrom Saratoga that no salutes -Ahould be fired in his honor upon his arrival at Mcunt McGregor, as it would be in bad taste. The General marched at the head of his staff up the slope to the cottage, when he was met by Colonel Grant. None but the General and his stafF officers were admitted to the cottage at that time, but later the doors - were thrown open to the general ipul iie. - Notwithstanding a heavy rain storm, the .trains up the mountain from Saratoga were -crowded, and the single tile of - those who passed through the cottage to view the rc--jnaiF.s did not ceae until 6 o'clock. The funeral services over the remains of the departed General will be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Rev. Dr. Newman will deliver the funeral sermon (inside the cottage, if it is storming,) from the . veranda, if it is fair. Dr. Newman will not speak either at Albany or New York. Tlie Grand Army ritual service will be conducted at New York bv Meade 1'ost, of Philadelphia. General Hancock and staff will come up from Saratoga in the morning in time for the service, and General Sherman will accompany them. TLe Programm of saluting with cannon tomorrow, according to the order of the War Department, will be thirteen guns at sunrise, thirty-tight at sunset, and one gun every hour throughout the day. Colonel Grant this evening issued an invitation to all rcpcresentatives of foreign nation accredited to this Government to participate in the cerem&nies in New York. . 'Voluminous Correspondence.

Special to the fc'enticcl. Wamun.ton, Alii. L The re-election of General Lrvan to the Senate, I was lately told by an Illinois iuan, who knows the politics of that State like a book, was largely due to the consuming ambition of Colonel Morrison. There are Democrats wboxuld bave beaten hi in. "Will Logan be a formidable candidate for the Presidency?" Hy the time tbc convention comes round Jt is my e piuiou that he will be the ouly candidate. lie tm managers iu Illinois as well as in this city who are carrying on an active correspondence in the interest of his candidacy.

The respeet shown 10 no publicist is less ernin"tory and more assiduous. That all this has a meauiug, is .palpable. A jtcntlonmn who was present lately -detailed to me a conversation between Senator oorhces and ex-Senator Pendleton, previous to the passage of the Civil service law. that he tverheard. They were lunebing togetlier, aud converting in tue frieudliest spirit. "Pendleton," said Voorhees, "there is something in your bill that distresses rue something that no aViniment apainst the measure has yet disclosed, t rom -oinpanionship with you I have derived the highest pleasure and profit. The Idea of being separated from you is full of melancholy, and 1 can not rejcl the idea that the passiae of that till w ill retire one of my 1h'i friends ienuancntly to privaK life. The author of a measure that linder any pretext whatsoever takes power from the eook; will be made to feel the full force of electoral resentment at the first opportunity.

Yet, tlii.s is true: I will write the language as it fell to me from his lips: "The devil is uot always as black as Twinted." He is said to have had an unsatisfactory interview witii the President; but the reart is hardly worth ru-fu-diu here, as the accouut of an unsatisfactory interview in such a quarter would hardly have found its wav into the papers. But the well known hgi'-e of Mr. Higgins is trcquently visible upon th-' stixet, and it is no longer told us a secret that he would like to be elected LHor-ket-pcr of tbe House. The recent action -of the Postmaster of Bidtimore is also werthy of attention. He has notified the women clerks in his otlice that thev must go on Septcmler :). Does he want to fill their places with women afhliated w ith his own party (Dcinocraticl, or dot's lie intend to apioint men instead? .In one ease he would bean orfeusive partisim. but in the other he would ofi'end the highest civilization in the world.

The agem-y is one in which Secretary Lamar took particular interest, and under the cir-cums-laiK'CS it may be regarded a high compliment to Mr. Hoover. HarnelL the department clerk, who was "bounced" at the instigation of Congressman Matson, still continues a subject of the liveliest c-uriosiCy. Washington jcople are anxious to behold the Republican oflicer in whose case the election last fall actually meant a change. Tlc story of his distress is being wired to every section of the country.

Hughes Last j Iktc A TERRIFIC CYCLONE Oji Hie IVrhtware Kiver The Steamer Major XieyboM ITrecke! and Iniuieneo Damage Done. rjiiLAi'ELiuiA, August 3. A terrific cyclone, sweeping up the Delaware River this afternoon, struck this city near Greenwich Point, demolishing a portion of the works of the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company, and injuring several employes. It then took a course across the river, wrecking the river steamer Major Keyboid and the ferryboat Peerless. The storm blew the pilot, Emory Townsend, and Captain Eugene Reybold, of the steamer Reynold, into the river, drowning the former and painfully injuring the Captain. The Peerless was swept clean a! most to the water's edge. When the Major Reybold left her dock for Salem, N. J., she had on board about fifty passengers, although, as no tickets had been &old, it is impossible to ascertain the exact number. There were also aliout fourteen officers and deck hands. Of this number of l-eople on the wrecked boat, it does not apIear that any lives were lost, except that of the pilot, although it is not impossible that some of the passengers were washed off and lost without any one knowing of the fatal circumstance, A steam tug coming up the river after the disaster, reports that the body of a woman was siHn for a few minutes floating in the river near the sjot where the cyclone struck the steamboat, but she sank out of sight and could not be found when the tug made search for her. 1. H. Warner, one of the passengers, tiescribes the scene. He was standing on the upper deck ami saw the black storm approaching, but as it moved rather slowly,he supposed it was a rain storm. When it struck the boat he discovered that its immense force came from its rotary motion. He and sereral others were thrown through a hole to tbe lower deck, and all the upicr works were swept away. The confusion among the sscngers was indescribable, and several of them lumped into the river, but Mr. Warner believes that all of them were rescued. While tbe cyclone was ujon the vessel everything was as black as the blackest night Sofas were broken to splinters and carpets torn to ehreds in the cabin as if they had been japer. The cyclone, he thinks, 'lasted about a minute, and after It passed the vessel rolled and pitched frightfully In the preat waves, and came near swamping. The storm then passed over to tbe Jersey Bide, striking John Dialogue's ship yards,

below Canighsport, and destroying the buildingsci the establishment. It then took a course along the New Jersey River front, demolishing all the buildings in its path, up

to lindge avenue, Camden. At tins point the cyclone took an easterly course to Fifth street, Camden, embracing in its path all that section of the city between Second and Fifth streets, to the Delaware Kiver, which washes the northern section of the city. Passing over the river, skirting Petty's Island, the storm passed over to that part of theTwentylifth Ward of Philadelphia known as Richmond. In its ravages in Camden scores of dwelling houses were unroofed, and some of them thrown down, and the damage to the business property along the river front is enormous. Hundreds of families! were rendered lhoineless. and one victim, Charles Daizy, was killed outright, at the American 3 rciliriDg Work?. Another,! Harry Stevens, had his leg cut off by a flying piece of timber, and will probably die. The path of the storm through Richmond was marked with death and destruction. Its track was ahfiot due north from U'O Port RiHimond coal wharves. About l-'ni dwelling houses were wrecked, or so badly damaged as to be rendered unlit for habitation, and l!"0 families were driven from their homes to be cared for by their neighliors, A munher of ieople were seriously and seme fatally injured. A girl ot ten years, I.z.ic McXeigh, was killed at her home, 1,7.'-' Mclviti street, in sight of her mother, who was herself pinned to the floor bv fallen rafters, a few feet from her dying child. It is imiossible as vet to estimate the amount of damage done. Following are the names of the killed and injured as far as can be as ccrtaiised: Dead Emory Townsend, of Salem, N. J., pilot of the steamlxat Major Reybohl; Charles Daizy, aged forty-nine, a slnn carpenter, killed instantly-by hying timbers at the wharf of the American Dredg ing Company, Camden; Lizzie . McVeigh, aged ten, crushed to death between timbers at her residence, 1,22 Melvin street, I hua dclpliia. Injured On steamboat Mayor Reybold: Morris Doyle, engineer, slightly; Captain IJeybold, seriously cut; Welch, a. 'deckhand, severely cut; . W. Gessnor, a passenger, temple artery severed, injuries serious. Injured At Camden: Harrv Stevens, aged twenty-one, probably fatally injured, his right leg severed below "the knee by Hying timbers; Stewart Johnson, colored, of the dredging tug Pacific, severely injured about the face and body; John Weteher, injured seribiisly about the head; Benjamin Smith, right arm broken and injured internallv; Alonzo Maxwell, aged sixteen, injured by falling walls; Charles Thompson, Manager of the Camden Tool Works, injured in face and neck by falling walls; Jacob Miller, leg broken ; John Silk, head badly cut; Klrner lvke, bruised about lody; Mrs. Josephine Mc'iinley, cut about face and body; John Drown, injured in Philadelphia; Annie McVeigh, awdlifty (mother of the dead child, Lizzie McVeigh), badly cut about the body; Annie McVeigh, aged fifteen, cut about the face and limbs: Michael Kent, aged nfty-tive, back broken; William N. Harb (of Short A: Harb, hosiery manufacturers), struck by falling bricks, cat ing depression of the bruin.. It is thought he will die. The following employes at Short A Harb's mill were also injured, Annie Rotts, aged sixteen, arm broken; Annie Rarep, aged sixteen; Emma Power, nineteen; Emma Thomas, eighteen; Emma Micner, nineteen ; John Thornton, fifteen. . Mr. John Dialogue, of Camden, whose works were destroyed, says: "Looking out the door tion the river, I saw the tornado approach. I could see the buildings of the Pennsylv ania Salt orks, ou the Philadelphia side, goingoiriikechatT. Then the storm struck the Major Reybohl, which was 1artially abreast of my place. Portions of ier upi't r works were whirled fully 40 ) feet into the air. A tremendous roar preceded it. The moving fury resembled a dense mass of rolling black smoke, and it traveled within ten feet of the surface of the water in the river. A singular phenomenon was witnessed, not only by myfelf, but by others. Thif was a huge ball of tire, fully ten feet in diameter, which swifty accompanied the storm cloud. After playing sad havoc with my establishment 1 saw this ball of fire explode about "0 yards north of me, with a rejKirt so terrific as to shake the very fountlations of the buildings in my yards. Following this came a number of explosions, but of less force. All the sky to the eastward was unusually bright and had a sort of rainbow apjcarance. In fact, this was one of the most remarkable sights of the - kind that I had ever seen. The ball of fire, which was exploded, I am satisfied, played the mischief at the American DredgingCompanv's place." Short & Harb's three-story hosiery mills, on Salmon street, Richmond, this city, was completely wrecked, and scattered in all directions. There were about eighty people employed in the mill, most of them young girls, and the effect was to throw them into a panic. A large numtcr jumjed from the second story windows, and were only slightly injured, while - others were hurled to the ground with the falling walls, and struck by piece's of falling timber and bricks, Pefor the storm the air was tilled with flying debris, and people seeing the awful sight tied in terror by the hundreds to their cellars. The cyclone lasted between four and rive minutes, and was marked by terrific puffs and roars. In is a singular fact that flat roofed houses suffered the most, the wind with the utmost ease catching them under the cornice, lifting them as though they were sheets of aier. There was hardly an instance where a mansard-roof building was wrecked, so great was the violence of the wind that the fronts and sides of houses were mashed as though they were egg shells. Roofs were carried hundreds of yards away. Shade trees were mowed down like platoons of soldiers on battlefields. Great monster trees that had stood the storms of years were uprooted or broken off like pipe-stems. Buildings which it would seem that an ordinary' storm would demolish, and which were in the direct path of the storm, were spared, while their neighbors, modern structures of brick, would be gutted or wrecked outright. A Shocking Accident. New Yokk, July 51. Nine men got into a bucket to-day to be hauled to the top of a shaft connecting with the new Croton Aqueduct. When sixty feet up the bucket caught on a projection and tipped. Four men were thrown out and two clung to the bucket; the other two, William Cunninham and Tim Harrington, were dashed to death. Of the men who clasixMl the bucket, John Ha;e had his left arm broken and his scalp injured in several places, and William Ryan suffered injuries about the head besides probable Internal wounds.

"'Neath the Oaks," "Love's Imitation," "Kiss Me Good-Night, Sweetheart," and one now in press, "Yours as Ever." He also made popular the song "Only an Ivy Leaf," by bhcardou. He was unmarried.

WAR FOR A CERTAINTY

Will Occur With Russia Should a Tory Ma"Jcsfy to Elected. The Salisbury Cabinet Preserving Feace, to Gain Time, Against Their Predilections Cloe Ilelationa Ketween the India Office and the War Office. Ixndon, August 2. Advices from St. Petersburg, Berlin, Vienna, Paris and Constantinople all point to the certainty of war if a Tory majority is returned to Parliament at the next election. Churchill, referring to the Central Aslai question, declares that the Tory leaders will be neither cajoled, nor de ceived, nor frightened by Russian tactics, but intend to preserve peace to gain time to make the northwest frontier of India absolutely . impregnable against any Russian army. This statement admirably defines the Anglo-Russian situation. The Cabinet against their personal predelections are preserving the jK-ace to gain time. When they are ready. if still in office, the mask will be thrown otf and war invited. The one flaw in the programme is the provoking freedom preserved by the Russian generals to bring on a conflict, whenever and wherever thev think best. Churchill chafes under what lie designates a situation erravely compromised. The (Juecn and country have been pledged, he declares, ami positions of incalculable military and strategic importance irrevocably ceded to Russia. The Liberals were tit a fighting government. They said in effect, we can do nothing, we are not a military iower. If Russia would oblige us by annexing the British West India Islands, we should know how to take it. The admiralty would be up and at 'em in less than no time, but as it is, we can only threaten and protest. The Tories take a different view. They argue that an empire containing just four times the iopulation of Russia and its annexations, and with vastly more money and facilities for waging war at command, ought to have no real difficulty in the time of need in raising fonr times the military strength of Kussia. They say it is a mere question of cost, resolution and necessity. Under the new regime the" India office and War office have been brought into unusually close relations of late. One of the first discoveries Churchill made on taking the India office was that nothing effective in the way of military preparations could be done without the energetic co-operation of the Horse Guards. Under the Liberal Government the relations of the two departments become painfully strained. The military element were enraged at the shilly-shallying of the political" heads and settled down into a feeling that under their management future events could bring nothing but ruin and disaster to British Jarms. The advent of fighting Lord Randolph to the India office and practical William II. Smith to the War office put life into everything, and the style in which the money Guilders was good enough to provide for Tory spending is melting away, would break the'grand old edd man's heart, could he get behind the scenes once more, if but for one hour.
