LATEST DISPATCHES. i — POLITICAL. Meeting of the New York Democratic and Republican Massachusetts Conventions. The New York State Democratic Convention nominated Frederick Cook for Secretary of State, Lawrence J. Fitzgerald for State Treasurer, Charles E. Tabor for Attorney General, and Edward Wemple for Comptroller. The resolutions demand that Federal taxation be reduced $100,000,000 a year, and that hundreds of articles be placed on the free list. They oppose sumptuary laws, as interfering with personal liberties, and indorse the administrations of Governor Hill and President Cleveland. Irving Hall was refused representation in the convention, the New York City seats being divided evenly between Tammany Hall and the County Democracy. Gov. Oliver Ames was renominated by the Republicans of Massachusetts. The platform favors a protective tariff, the reduction of internal revenue taxation, an honest ballot and a fair count, the maintenance of the present civil-service law, the submission of a prohibitory amendment, the cessation of the compulsory coinage of silver, the passage of a national bankrupt law, and protection of fishery interests without yielding any international rights. PLEADING FOR IRELAND. Gladstone on the Union—Harcourt Denounces the Tories. Mr. Gladstone, a cable dispatch reports, has a critique in the Nineteenth Century on Ingram’s “History of the Irish Union,” which, he says, does not show even a rudimentary knowledge of the leading facts of Irish affairs. Gladstone says he himself, after long striving, knows just enough to be aware that his knowledge of it is imperfect and to have an inkling of the ingratitude and comflexity of the task of the Thucydides of the rish union who has not yet mounted above the horizon. Mr. Gladstone then goes on to show that the union was brought about two centuries ago by Cornwallis by flagrant intimidation and savage repression, and in conclusion he argues that the Irish Parliament was not constitutionally competent to surrender its powers; that the opposition in the country at the time, as shown by a petition of 700,000 Irishmen, was never invalidated by the subsequent change of national opinion. THE TEXAS_RACE-WAR. Font Negroes Have Been Killed—The Mob Dispersed— More Trouble Feared. A telegram from Columbia (Texas) says: “Four negroes were killed in the fight between the mob of blacks and Capt. Bate’s white posse, in Matagorda County. Burton Hawkins, one of the leaders of the negroes, is among the dead. It is not known how many were wounded. The *WS W^he ^ath* of* J^rv Massena, a colored Constable, who started out to arrest a white planter s an _ born, is confirmed. Several hunurea L a-t groes congregated, bent upon killing Sanborn and his friends. After the fight the negroes dispersed for the time being, but further trouble is anticipated.” - rrtmi ttrc 'n’tivs. There is such a heavy demand through- I out the country for cents, nickels, and dimes that the mint is unable to supply the same. Frederick William, the Crown Prince of Germany, is making a tour of the Italian lakes and will probably winter in Gries. The Spanish Government has decided to greatly reduce Cuban duties on necessaries of life and articles used in native indu4ries. M. A. Dillon, of Washington, D. C., ’ was elected Commander-in^Chief of the National Command of the Union Veterans’ Union. The Price Current of Cincinnati estimates that the corn crop this year will be 1,510,000,000 bushels, against 1,665,000,000 bushels iu 1886—a shortage of 155,000,000. A German official .'reporting upon the recent frontier shooting, contends that the French huntsmen were on German soil when the soldier shot at them. The soldier’s assertion to this effect is supported by one of the forest guards. It is added that from the density of the woods it was impossible for the soldier to have seen or shot at anybody at the place where the Frenchman’s blood stained the ground, and that he must have crawled from tfie German side of the boundary. Chicago special: “Capt. Black, who returned from New York yesterday, visited his anarchistic clients in the jail and assured them that Gen. Roger A. Pryor was sanguine the United States Supreme Court would grant a writ of error in their ease. He is also going to bring Oscar Neebe back from Joliet.” The National Command, Union Veterans' Union, in session at Cleveland, elected At. A. Dillon, of Washington, Commander-in-Chief. John A. Fulwiler, of Illinois, was elected Keeond Deputy Commander, and Ivory H. Pike, of Illinois, a member of the Executive Committee. EAST. IHE decision iu tl e Jacob Sharp case was affirmed at New York, and the prisoner will be sent to Sing Sing at once. It is probable, however, that the case will be taken to the Court of Appeals. The failure is announced of the Enterprise Brewing Company, of Philadelphia, with $350,000 assets and $203,000 liabilities. The Scotch cutter Thistle and the American sloop Volunteer have met in the first 1887 contest for the America’s cup, savs a New York special of Wednesday, and the Volunteer beat the foreigner so badly that the latter’s most enthusiastic champions have only to say that something inexplicable is the matter with the Thistle. It was a great day. The people who went down on the three hundred steamships, river steamboats, tugs, steam-yachts, sailing yachts, and boats improvised for the occasion, numbered easily fifty thousand, and the scene presented by the heterogeneous mass of craft before, at, and after the . start cannot be described. They covered an area of fifty or more acres on the water, and they kept up a noise throughout the race that startled the people who came from Europe to see the event. The result was a most decisive victory for the American sloop. Beating, stretching, and running with free sheets the Volunteer

outsailed the Thistle. The total distance was thirty-eight statute miles. Everywhere, except on the run with spinnakers, where the excursion-boats dill so much to keep the wind from her, the Volunteer outsailed her antagonist. The following aro the figures: LightStart.

After the race Mr. James Bell, principal owner of the Thistle, said he was not at all satisfied with the result The Thistle, he declared, had never moved so slowly through the water. He was of the opinion that there was “something wrong with the cutter's bottom.” Appended is a description of the two yaehts: volunteer.

A report from the Committee on Pensions, recommending the passage of a bill giving all ox-prisoners of war $2 for each day they were in captivity, and placing them on the pension rolls at rates proportioned to the length of their confinement, was unanimously adopted. A resolution was also passed declaring that the captured rebel flags should be held sacred by the National Government, and displayed in some public place, as provided by law. General W. H. Powell was elected President for the ensuing year. The next annual meeting will be held at Indianapolis. Mrs. Lucy E. Parsons, wife of A. R. Parsons, one of the condemned anarchists, was arrested at Chicago for distributing handbills contrary to a city ordinance on that subject. The ordinance reads: No person or persons shall distribute, cast, throw, or place in, upon, or along any of the streets, alleys, or public places of the city of Chicago any handbills, pamphlets, circulars, booKs, or advertisements for the purpose or with the intent of advertising or making known iu a general or promiscuous manner any business, occupation, profession, medical treatment, med icine, or anything whatsoever, under a penalty of not less than 85 and not more than sls for each and every otlense. From Mrs. Parsons’ actions previous to and after her arrest it was evident that it was her intention to be arrested. Officer Ward of the Central Station, saw her at work and requested her to stop, informing her that there was an ordinance prohibiting the distribution of circulars on the streets, but she paid no attention to his admonition. Three times he told her to stop, saying he would be obliged to arrest her if she did not, but she made no answer to him and paid no heed to his warning. When he finally did put her under arrest she betrayed no surprise. To every one she met on the w«y to the City Hall she gave one, saying: “I am arrested for distributing A. R. Parsons' letter,” evidently hoping thereby to create sympathy, but sho failed. She remained in a cell at the Armory until Mr. Bielefield of the Arbeiter-Zeitung appeared and made a $25 deposit to secure her attendance in court. She was then released. During her stop attne station she had nothing to say. Tucson, in Arizona, is beginning to boom the next Indian war. Mr. W. B. burton was killed the other day by an Apache si the bystanders pursued and killed the sava^ and report adds, "but this will not end the r Vho citizens will take the matter «, „ their own hands -“3 kill Indians on sight,” it the Govern- | mentdoes not interfere. Later reports Bav several bands of savages have taken to iha “war path.” A- Chicago dispatch of Tuesday says: “Oscar Neebe, one of the convicted Anarchists, was taken to Joliet at 9 o'clock last evening, and landed in the penitentiary at 10:30 o’clock. This sudden move in Neebe’s case was decided on yesterday when the order of the Supreme Court arrived. It was deemed best to send Neelie to Joilet as quickly and quietly as possible. The actual returns on the petition for clemency to the condemned anarchists, as far as they have been turned into the secretary of the Amnesty Association, show about fifteen thousand signatures. On the list for preachers are the names of two prominent Jewish divines.” Associated Press advices from Santa Fe are to the effect that there has been no outbreak of Apache Indians in Arizona, and that all is quiet upon the southwestern reservation. The Farmers’ Review, of Chicago, estimates that the total corn crop of the country this season will be but 1,310,000,000 bushels. SOUTH. Texas fever has again broke out among cattle at Tekamah, Neb., where it is alleged the infection has been communicated by native stock, and not by Texans. Dispatches from Texas report a serious race war in Matagorda County. Militia had been ordered to the scene of the disturbance, and bloodshed was anticipated. WASHINGTON. Commissioner Miller, in an interview at Washington, is reported as saying: It is true that we intend to have the beer now being Bold throughout tue country tested to ascertain its purity or impurity. We have an excellent chemist, and he is getting ready to make the tests. Oh, no, we shall not call upon the breweries respectively for samples. We will purchase samples of the retail dealers, and will label each one distinctly. In that way we will get the beer just as it is on the market. Os course we will not undertake to analyze samples of all the breweries in the country at once. We will purchase samples here and there throughout the country, and they will be sent here. The chemist can perhaps analyze forty different samples in a day. The work will bo prosecuted from time to time. As there will be no system for procuring the beer, ne, brew er will be able to tell when his product will be examined. By these official tests the purity of the beer put on the market will be determined. So much has been published of lute in regard to the adulteration of beer that it is deemed necessary to make these official tests for the proteclion of the public. The result of the analysis will be made public. The Indian Bureau will not recede from its position that no language but the English shall be taught in Indian schools. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue denies the story, telegraphed from Washington the other day, that he intended to have the beer made at all the breweries in the country analyzed, in order to ascertain how far adulteration with poisonous substances is practiced. The Commissioner thinks he has nothing to do with the quality of the swill, if the taxes upon its manufacture are regularly paid. POLITICS. B. I’. Jones, Chairman of the National Republican Committee, says it will not meet- to select the time and place for the

। next convention muon before January. He has no preference as to the place, although he thinks Philadelphia would be > “convenient.” O. Preston, the Union Labor party can- ' didate for Secretary of State, of New York, Monday retired in favor of John Swinton, candidate of the United Labor party. It is > believed the entire Union Labor ticket will * be withdrawn and the United ticket ' (Georgeites) will be indorsed. i RAILWAYS. A special meeting of the stockholders of the Cleveland and State Line Railroad Company was held at Cleveland on Friday. The object of the meeting was fulfilled by 1 the adoption of an agreement to consolidate the company with the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad Company, 1 which represents the Nickel-Plate Road in New York and Pennsylvania, and the Fort Wayne and Illinois Railroad Company, ' which represents the Nickel-Plate property ' in Indiana and Illinois. - Gen. G. M. Dodge told the Pacific ' Railway Commission at New York that the Union Pacific cost three times as much as • it would have done had not the Government insisted upon rushing the work. He j also declared that the company could have . paid its debt to the Government if Con- ■ gress had not interfered with its business. Under the order restoring to settlement the indemnity lands of the Northern Pacific Railroad, from 25,000 to 30,000 acres will be open for entry iu Otter Tail and Douglas Counties, Minnesota, on the Ist of December, at the Fergus Falls Land Office. GENERAL. Hou ace Allen, aged S 3, a grandnephew of Ethan Allen, has distinguished himself by propelling a wheelbarrow from Dela- ’ ware, Ohio, to Albany, N. Y., a distance of 685 miles. ■ Gen. Roger A. Pryor said to a report- ’ er at New York that the form of the appeal iu the anarchists’ case has not been determined, but the constitutionality of the Illinois law regarding the construction of the , jury will be attacked. This law has been । in operation since 1874, and has not yet । been passed upon by the Supreme Court. The law of Illinois relating to conspiracy will not enter into the appeal. A Montreal telegram reports that an application of Mr. Mac Master, Q. C., to appear as counsel for McGarigle was rejected by Judge Baby in the Court of ; Queen's Bench, on the ground that it was t against the procedure of the court to allow defendants to be represented by counsel until they have personally appeared them- , selves and pleaded to the indictment. ' Mac Master then moved to have his application entered in the records of the case. ‘ This was also rejected. FOREIGN. John Bright, in a letter approving the action of the Northwestern Miners' Association in refusing longer to subscribe toward the payment of salaries to the representatives of tl eir districts in the House of Commons, says ho does not favor the payment of salaries to members, because he does not wish that Parliamentary life should be made a trade. A Dublin dispatch says that several collisions took place at Fennoy on Monday between the police and the populace. The latter were the aggressors, and when the trouble began the officers drew their swords. Some clergymen then induced the people to disperse, but subsequently the crowd made another charge on the police and stoned them, injuung many of the constables. The mob clubbed the police brought from Mitohellstown ami showered j them with stones,bottles,and missiles of all kinds. Several were disabled. Capt. Plunkett then was sent for and took command,and succeeded in restoring order. The League • subsequently met in a private house, where Mr. O'Brien, who had eluded the officers, addressed the members. He declared it l was impossible to suppress the League. It was a simple question in the rule of three. I If it took Plunkett ami all his men to supi press one branch of the League, how many i Plunketts and armies would be necessary to suppress 1,800 branches? Several League meetings were held iu Clare and were unmolested. The shotting of a French officer on the ^^man frontier appears less serious as details received than it at first seemed, says a cau e dispatch from Paris. Following are the l-wticulars of the affair: A party of five pportuuen and four beaters ' were following a yath of French territory, seven yards from the iroutier, when a person । standing behind a clump of trees on the German side, eighty yards Boni the frontier, fired ' three shots at them. The first bullet did not hit any one, but the second one killed one of > the beaters, and the third severely wounded a , gentleman named Wagner, a pupil at the Saumur Cavalry School. The German officials declare that a German soldier named Kaufmann fired the shot Kaufmann affirms that he shouted three times for the party to halt before firing nt them. He believed that they were on German territory. The sportsmen declare that they heard nothing. MM. Rouvier and Flourens have dispatched a note to Berlin requesting them to interest themselves in the affair and institute an inquiry without delay. The German Minister at Faris, in an interview with M. Flourens, expressed deep regret at the occurrence, and assured him that justice would bo done. Military and police were present at the eviction of Michael Lane and family from their holdings on Col. Meadow’s estate at Limerick on Tuesday. The Lanes made a stubborn resistance, and during the struggle Mrs. Lane split open the skull of Inspector Riley, who was directing the work of eviction. Mrs. Laue, her husband, and brother were arrested. MARKETER EPORTS. NEW YORK.

OUR FRESH TRAVELER. 1 A True Story of Ono Day's Kxporionco In a Railway Carriage. She was a woman of perhaps 35 , years, and she was taking her first trip in a railway carriage. She was not, 1 and had evidently never been, in the L fashionable swim. Although, womanlike, she had made prodigious efforts to blossom forth in a stunning traveling suit of steel-gray stuff, the general tone of her make-up was primitive in the superlative degree, in what remote corner of the earth she had 1 been kept from the civilizing influences of travel was a point concern- ' ing which none of us who were passengers with her dared hazard a guess. Sha was as kittenish, as restless, as delighted, and as “fresh” as any t caramel-consuming Vassarine of 17 going home for her first vacation. The neatly uniformed and shiny-skinned porter of our car interested her vastly. I She watched that experienced tourist’s ( movements witli absorbing attention, . as if making a study of the art of blase traveling, bhe took a mental inventory of all articles of our personal adorn- ( ment which the ladies of our party had in sight, and then for awhile fell to contemplating her own person and its t adornments with obvious satisfaction. [ A convenient panel minor in the parlor car was her boon ot boons during ‘ the whole journey. | She wanted the . loiterers at the stations in the towns and cities through which we passed to know that sho was on the train, with which ambitious purpose she bounced out of her seat at every ’ stop, hastened to the platform and put ' -on her most compassionate and superior look as sho gazed at those same un- < happy loiterers whom hard fate had decreed must remain at homo that day. She had away of inflating and fluttering her ample drapery and settling down into it that was suggestive of girlhood’s cheese-making days. They smiled nt her, those wearied women who were used to riding on the rail, . but it may be that they envied her the fine bursts of youthful feeling with which sho regarded even the trivial and commonplace incidents of the L trip. There certainly was sulli- , cient variety in her movements during the first half day to amuse her fellow-travelers, but after dinner (of which she ate with inspiring relish) she took another turn. With her nose flattened against the window, sho sat for two drendful hours and drummed a rat-tat-rataplan on the glass. An oLI gentleman opposite her, who had hurried down to the train that morning without his accustomed shave, was bored. There was not the smallest doubt of that. He fidgeted painfully, and now and again he plunged a visual dagger clear through the heart of his vis a rix, to which assaults she was exaHperatinglv insensible. In time the rest of us beenmo so much concerned in the old gentleman's writhings ns to quite forget thnt we too were bored by the unsiippressable Miss Fresh, mid for mile on mile we watched those two with ever-growing wonder as to what turn the inevitable catastrophe would take. About 4 o'clock she straightened herself up in her seat and with pious alb sorption sang in a voice that Love itself must have turned from with pro sane objurgation: Come to Jeaus, Coiue to JuHua, Come to Jenas Just now These lines she repeated some scores of times in the same monotonously rasping voice until at last the old gentleman sprang from his seat with maddening torture stamped on every feat uro nd exclaimed, “lor Heaven’s sake, madam, go to Jesus!” The Kock I’liej Split On. Now, everybody knows that a worn.m w 11 never allow another wo can to get the best of her in anything. She may play modesty out of Dolitenoss, but if one insists too much upon the superior.tv of anything belonging to her, she’d provoke bad feeling and very acrid con trad etions. “I have beer so ill,” said a lady calling with some otheri at a house up town the other dav, "1 have been very ill.” "\Yh if- . as tie matter?” “It was pneinnon a.” ‘T'neumoniaf said another. “I had the same th - ng.” “Hut mine was very serious, and 1 didn’t know if I’d get over it.” "So was mine The doctor was quite alarmed about ne.” “I was in bed three days.” “1 was confined to my room four.” "But you eou dn’t possibly have been so ill as I was.” “It was — ever worse.” “It could not have been pneumonia ?” “Yes, it was.’ “But my case was very aggravated.” “Mino was meat serious.” “Yours could not have been the same kind, not as bat. My doctor said mine was the most dangerous ease of the kind ho had ever seei.” “Mine told nn I would surely die.” “I don’t believe it was pneumonia you had.” . “I know it was, but yours wasn’t.” “1 don’t believe you were sick at all.” “I know you veren’t. You had a cold in the head.” “Well, 1 never.” And they are strangers now.— Sail, Francis^ o Chronicle. The Hebrew in America. His dispersion lias been a powerful stimulus to his activity, and given him a strength that has defied time and cirstanee. The poor, footsore emigrant, greeted with scornful obloquy, has his compensation iu Ins descendant^, who belong to the aristocracy of wealth, culture and position. Will America influent e its Jewish population, as undeniably it has bee 1 influenced in other lands? The American spirit is already at work, but not in Jewry only; all creeds feel the effect of American conditions. The foreigner arrives here with his traditional stock of usages—good, bad and indifferent—his lares and penates, froqi insignificant towns abroad. These soon lose their importance as ho acquires wealth and an American culture. The second generation regards them with coldness; the third is almost ignorant of their meaning. The past fev. decades have witnessed rapid changes in American Judaism. There has been a rattling of old armor, and a good deal of ancient scaffolding has fallen to pieces. The essentials of Judaism, however, are still untouched; upon the whole, there is a more intelligent spirit manifest than over before. —Dr. J. N- Isaacs. One grape vine of the Mission variety in Santa Barbara County, Cal., two years ago produced four tons of grapes. It covers an arbor 100 feet square, and the trunk is five feet ten inches in circumference at the butt. It is said to be the largest grape vine in the world.

Popular Customs in Wales. In many parts of Wales tho ladybird is considered able to decide if the ' weather will be fair or foul. A Welsh verse runs as follows when translated: Little speckled cow, 1 Will there be rain or fair weather? If there 11 bo rain, fa l down; If fair weather, fly away. 1 . And the lady-bird is supposed to obey tho command. Tho Welsh mode of arranging mar- ' riage is peculiar. The lady chooses ( the house and takes it as if for herself. She and a friend take up their abode in it about two or three weeks before . the wedding, and the bridegroom J comes to all his meals with them. Beer ! is brewed and buns are made, and all , the friends on either side are expected , to buy them, so that there is a long ( succession of visitors to the house. It closes by a feast given by the bride and bridegroom, called the bidding feast, and quite distinct from that of the wedding. The Welsh names for flowers are often very pretty. Snowdrops are babies’ bells; chrysanthemums, fare- . well summer; and the Germander • Speedwell of bright blue is called the “eye of Christ.”— London Exchange.
