Mow the F.njjll*t» Bntnrt Bchrlng Be# «"aprc*ioiilcnce. LONDON, July 25.—The Telegram regrets the asperity of the tone of Mr. Blaine in the Bebring sea dispatches. "England," it says, "in strone enough io be calm and courteous, and 3« sufficiently fond of peace 4o disregard Mr. BlaineV pet«Ianco. England has no Immediate interest in the question beyond seeing fair play. Thedwpute, renting on history treaties, recorded rights and purchased privileges, constitutes a clear ease for reference." It concludes with the suggestion that King Humbert, of Italy, or Km (Hror William he asked to'arbitrate the matter.

The Chronicle says: "Mr. Blaine proves himself an abler man in controversy than Lord Salisbury, although having a worse 4-aw* to defend. The representatives of Inland seem mere babies in the hands ol Mr. Blaine. It'is obvious that lord Salisbury, at an early period of the discussion, became sensible of his inferiority in dialectic skill to his opponent. ]mt hfs tcrrmer and deliberately insulted Mr. Blaine by declaring that he conducted tbo negotiations in the interests of a party, and not in the interests of the country.

There was bloodless war on the river front last Digbt-bloodlws, fortunately, but none the less exciting fofr a time. The K. Stockton, James O Connor, captain, came in from the Narrows abont 4-30 p. m., passed through the county bridge and headed for the public landing st the foot of Cherry street, which, however, has been for weeks blockaded by Charles Baldwin's fleet- of skiffs. When the Stockton came within hailing distance he demanded from Baldwin an opening for a landing, Baldwin refused and added that O'Connor might find a suitable landing in that much talked of place which is not heaven. O'Connor then asked Baldwin to mote some of hisljoats out of the way so that he could get itf with the Stockton a little nearer his landing and discharge his cargo. This, Baldwin also refused to permit. Captain O'Connor then swung the Stockton around shutting off steam and stopping his wheel. As the boat came around it smashed a couple of the Bildwin skiffs into kindling wood. Baldwin then got a hustle on himself and commenced moving some of his boats out of the way. He removed enough to merely allow the Stockton to head in and swing to anclforage about fifteen feet from shore. Baldw»n was mad--he was bloodthirsty, and bis wrath, which he had been "nursing to keep it warm," broke out now in volumes. "He first sent for the police and then came rnshing out on his boom with a big Colt's navy in his hand and aiming the weapon at Captain O'Connor, who stood at the wheel of the Stockton, threatened to "blow his brains out'3 if he made any further effort to land. "Go to your boat, Charley," was O'Connor's dispassionate reply, "I have eaten such things as that old navy." "Have you?" asked Baldwin. "Well, I'll fix you with something you^n't eat," and running along his boom he disappeared in the house boat and reappeared with a double barrel shot gun in nand. "Now, eat the buckshot in this, you ———t You make another move and I'll kill you where you stand," shouted Baldwin. By this time Patrolman Km met Hall had arrived and ordered Baldwin to nut- up his weapons. Hall, who is an old licensed Wabash pilot, took in the situation at a glance and told O'Connor to go linto bank a»d make his landing, 'even at the expense oi smashing every boat at Baldwin's boom. O'Connor instead came up town and swore out a warrant for Baldwin's arrest. With this Contable Ehrenbardt accompanied by Patrolman

river about twenty-five feet from shore. "Come in, Charley," said Smith in bis blandest tone, "come in{ I want to talk with you." "Come out here if you want me," sneeringly replied Baldwin, and at once pulled up stream leaving the officers on the bank. They followed in a skiff, but owing to the darkness Baldwin escaped He was arrested this morning after an ail night search and his trial occurred this afternoon in Justice Felsenthal's cbuit.

Baldwin's trial before Justice Felsenehal was postponed until to-morrow afternoon.

A CONFIDENCE MEN A ZHCOUIMKIOII Ismpd toy flowrnor Movey.

Governor Hovey yesterday issued a requisition on the governor of Michigan for the return of Henry Rice and Charles Watson, indicted by the Vigo county" grand jury forgrand larceny. The crime was committed October 4,1887, but they escaped. They were arrested December 15,1888, in Detroit on a similar charge, and sent to the house of correction for two years each. Their terms will expire October 28, and they will be at i»nce brought hack to this state for trial in the Vigo Circuit court. Tbe crime with which they are charged was the stealing of $2,000 from Alexander McPheetew.-^ 1 ndianapolis Journal.

The men, it will be remembered, met tlncle Alec on the street, and one of them represented himself as Frank McKeen. He was induced to accompany them to a room on South Fifth street, where they confldenoed the farmer out of $1000, MePheeters drawing the money from the hank.

IMMODESTY AT THE SEASIDEgtn, he Taken to Pmhlhii ledecor«a* C'eBdnet Oenernlljr.

LONG BRANCH, N. July 25.—A largely attended state convention opened this morning in the Seaside Presbyterian cbapeL After devotional exercises, a number of delegates reported upon the various forms of Sabbath desecration which prevailed at the various serside resorts in the shape of bathing, excursions, drinking and board walk pro memales. Many measures which might tend to suppress these evils on the Sabbath day were discussed. The subject of general moral observance at seaside resorts was also considered and general approval was given to the regulations which are enforced 6t Seabright and other places Among them are the following: "For the sake of example all respectable peo'ple are requested to discountenance the pMCTice of the sexes of assuming attitudes on the beach that would be considered immoral at their city home or elsewhere. If this rule ia not observed it becomes the duty-of the police to serve a small card on the offending person, and »f the thing is repeated the offender must be ordered from the beach. Modesty of apparel is as becoming to a lady in a bathing dress as it is to a lady dressed in silk and satin. As a rule respectable people retire from the beach at 10:30 in tbe evening." This afternoon another session will be held in St Luke's Methodist Episcopal cBurch, when the different phases of the Sabbath question will be discussed by the secretaries of thef American Sabbath Association and others.

FROM NICARAUGUA.

More Improvements Hade In the Ureytown Harbor. GREYTOWN, Nicaraugua, July 10.— The steamer Carse, of the regular line from New Orleans came over the bar and is anchored just in front of the company's shops. Dredge Herbert also came over this morning and is anchored near the Carse. The steamer T. Millard is doing splendid work as there is already water enough for her to work over tbe bar, Wbereggp the Carse and Herbert gre* anchored is in the old bay of Sap Juan Del Norte (Greytown) where the vessels have not entered since twenty-four years ago. The opening of the channel and the deepening of tne harbor has been promoted by the action of natural forces set in operation by the construction of a pier and is an indication of the effects of its further extension and completion. It is, in fact, a restoration of the old harbor, concerning wbich so many doubts as to its possibility have been expressed. With the Herbert in. the harbor more improvements will soon be realized. 1

It is said if well managed by Plummer it will be likely tp put hup on his feet again.

Contract* to he Let Monday for Int. provementa or the Street Railway* at a Coot or «us,oee.

Mr. R. W. Rippetoe. president of the Terre Haute btreet Railway Company, has returned from Pittsburg, where he went to examine anew electric motor recently produced by the Weatinghouse company. It has tor some time been the intention of the Street Railway Company to introduce f|pid transit and it was formally decided at the last meeeting of the board of directors thai," tBe best electric system should be applied. Mr. Rippetoe's Jo the East was merely at the request of the Westingbouse people, and the matter of deciding upon which motor*asll be .adopted is to be settled betweer and Monday next, upon which the work of conver mule system, so lot a rapid electric sysi new era in street Haute. The plan the entire*relaying pi the South Third street tracks which pill be moved farther over toward the east side of the street this laying of double, track on each of tbe cross street lines, the improvement of the Main street road bed in places with new irons and ties, the erections and placing of an electric plant supplying power and several other necessary features. The Main street t^plbk is in good shape only requiring improvement in places. The application of electricity as a motive power will be made to all the company's lines in the city,%except the Polytechnic extension, which has never been a paying route and which will ultimately be extended to Fourteenth street and thence south to tap the Mairf street line. The Thompson-Houston, Sprague and Westinghouse systems are all intended for overhead stringing so that in either case the adoption of a motor has nd bearing. The company- has only ^hesitated for the purpose of securing not the least expensive system but thelest. Either of the motors in question could be applied to the cars now in user, but the Street Railway company, in keeping with their enterprising spirit thus. far shown, will sell the old cars and* put in service new large and comfortable motor cars fitted with every convenience and comion, capable of seatfng from forty to fifty passengers. As has been said, on Monday next the contracts will be lei and the great work of improvement started, which President Rippetoe estimates .aril), as a minimum, amount to not less than $115,000, with a strong probabilitg-of. i*« wkaSkf exceeding that

GLADSTONE SPEAKS*^

So Washes Hi* Hands of Precedent In the Heligoland ABhir. LOXDOK, July 25.—Mr. Gladstone made a speech last night on the Heligoland cession. Mr. Gladstone blamed the ROVerament for not securing beforehand an agreement with Franco regarding Zanatbar. He said it was difficult to comment on the omission without embarrassing the government, which he did not desire to do. It was to be regretted that in one person were combined the offices of pr'me minister and foreign secretory, as the duties of the two ex eeeded the possibilities of any human brain, unless it possessed the

jwers of Napoleon or Cromwell. The of Commons had never before been eked to vote a cession of territory, although since the restoration of Charles the Second there had been several cases of territory being ceded without the consent of the House of Commons being a°k,ed. He could not vote against the bill, on principle, because the queen could give Germany Heligoland but he was not disposed to make a precedent on a subje of most profound practical importance in the constitution. Therefore, wishing to wash his hands of the precedent, now being made, he declined to take part in the division of the bill.

REPUBLICAN ASSASSINATED.

An Asltator Filled With Bnckshot in Mississippi. MKRIDAN, Miss., July 25.—T. M. B. Cook, a widely known Republican politician of Jasper county* who was a candidate for Congress on the Republican ticket in this district at the election two years ago, was assassinated yesterday afternoon, near Mt. Zion church, in Jasper county. He was a candidate for the constitutional con vention, and is reported to have made a very incendiary speech during tbe day which probably led to his death, the particulars of which are not known. He was found late in the afternoon and had' apparently been dead several hours having been hit by fifteen buckshot Marsh Cook, as he was known, has had the reputation of being a turbuh nt spirit in the community, and his chief desire seemed to be to antagonize and engender all the race prejudices possible.

ANOTHER BOGUS INTERVIEW.

Minister Bold Says He Didn't Talk to a Reporter. PARIS, July 25.-~-The Siecle and the Figaro to-day publish an alleged interview with Mr. Whittlaw Reid, the American minister, wbich makes him denounce the McICinley bill as a measure opposed to civilisation, and which, further, represents him as declaring that it was improbable that the citizens of the United States would long endure the tariffs, and that the increasing of the difficulties of commerce would imperil the success of the Chicago exhibition. Mr. Reid authorizes an explicit denial of the interview, Hesaysne.saw no journalist and authorized nobody to speak on the sub-7.i-rg-.'-r-TLi: American legation, who alone to press requests for information, says he didn'ttalk.

Most of the occupants of the house were asleep and were buried from their beds and either tfuried under the felling debris or thrown on top of it

The Eastern G. A. B, Encampment. BOSTON, July 25.—The local committee of the Grand Army reunion is overloaded with advices all tending to indicate that the coming gathering will be a phenomonally successful one. The West, especially, will be largely represented, Ohio, California and Michigan intending to send large contingents. This will be the first encampment that has been held in the East for many years and tbe Eastern states propose to signalize the feet by turning out their veterans en masse. Maine will turn out nearly one hunred posts, Massachusetts fifty, New York twenty, Pennsylvania eighteen, Connecticut fifteen. New Hampshire fourteen, and tbe other Eastern and.

yiND OFFICE BUSINESS.

MA.VY APPLICANTS FOR PENSIONS UHBKR THE XEW LAW.

The Department Flooded With Letters r-Other Sows of Importance .1) From tho Seat or

Government.

WASHINGTON*, July 25.—Persons who are entitled or think they are entitled to pensions under the disability act are not all allowing the grass to grow under their feet. The bill became a law June 27th and from that time to the present the pension officers have received and acknowledged 306,000 applications for pensions. It is. estimated there are at least 20,000 applications in the office, the receipt of which has been acknowledged. An mate was made when the was before Congress that there would be about 300,000 names which would come under its provisions. It is not supposed all the cases filed will be favorably acted upon by the pension office, but it is thought the rush of applications is about oVer. The activity of claim agents of this city and tbe extent of increase in their business in consequence of the recent pension act may be inferred from the fact that for the quarter ending June 30 the receipts of the Washington city postoffice increased 43 per, cent, and the postoffice officials say the increase thus far for the month of July is proportionately greater than preceding months. This growth is due entirely to mail matter sent out by claim agents to pensioners and those who are entitled to pensions, urging them to make application under the disability law. The sale of 2-cent stamps to^a single pension agent has been as high as $2^500 in a single transaction.

WANAMAKER AND BEN.

They are Considerinsr the Louisiana Lottery |nestlon. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 25.— Postmaster General Wanamaker has had several conferences of late with President Harrison at which tbe Louisiana lottery has been the subject of consideration and it is 8aid that it has been about decided by tho administration that something must be done to put an effectual stop to the operation of that corporation. The President and Postmaster General concede that the present statutes designed to reach the lottery schemes are totally inadequate and it is largely due to the influence of the administration that tbe senate committee has started in to prepare a bill making the mail for lotteries of every kind unmailable. This would have the result of relieving the postmaster general of the necessity of extruding bis discretion. It is also probable that the provisions of the law. applicable to individuals conducting lotteries, will be extended to tbeir ajj^ntsjuid^ pian*the latter will be excluded from the right to receive registered letters and money order letters, the same as their principals. The bill will be reported over on Friday Or early next week.

Harrison Paid It.

WASHINGTON, July 25. President Harrison has actually paid A. H. Hamilton, the Cape May Point hotel proprietor, $10,000 for the famous cottage The check was drawn by Private Secretary Halford, and paid by a Washington bank for his Philadelphia correspondent, The deal has proved a very profitable one for Mr. Hamilton, for he not only gets what he was after in the first place, a little advertising for his moribund summer resort, but fie finally receives in cold cash from the President several thousand dollars more than the cottage cost him* 'c .....I.

WASHINGTON, July 25.—Mr. Voorhees, by request of the Labor Alliance, introduced a bill in the Senate yesterday to secure the constitutional right and freedom of trade, speech and press within the limits of the Republic, and he asked, in view of the respectable source from which it emanated that it should be printed in full in the Record.
