New York, Sept. 25. —At Brighton Beach to-day there was one of the largest crowds in attendance of the present season One of the largest programs of events was the second race, which had no less than twenty starters, and as a consequence some were bound to get left. In this particular instance Valley Forge, who was one of the favorites in this race, was held by his owner, Mr. V.. C. Daly, till he was left standing ut the post. As a large amount of money was placed on him, the remarks applied to such a singular proceeding were very much more stronger than elegant. In the same race the rider of Joe S immediately after the start pulled up his horse and left the race. This horse sold favorite in the auc- tion pools and Hid judges held an investiga- tion. The jockey said that owing to the large number of horses in the race he could not get away and would not punish his horse when there was no show for winning.

A Wallt-Aivar for Chicago. . Milwaukee, Sept. 25.— thousand people at the Milwaukee base ball park this afternoon witnessed the National league championship contest between the Chicago and Providence teams, the poorest game played on the grounds this season, the latter club being entirely responsible therefor. At the beginning of the second inning the team appeared to go to pieces completely, and from that time until the finish errors were piled up against them at a rate that was disgusting to the admirers of base ball. Badford was hit hard and re- ceived no support whatever. McConuick pitched a good game for the Western giants and was ably assisted by Williamson behind the bat, after the first inning, when the latter relieved Kelly, whose hands | were in bad condition. Not more than one- I half the spectators remained through the ! game, so completely disguted were they with the playing of the Rhode Islanders.

New y«r"t»C«icasro Series. Chicago, '\u25a0 in. —The series between the Chicago a .»• York base ball clubs, which will in .... probability settle the championship, is creating an unheard-of enthusiasm. President Spalding said to- day: ".My desk is littered with letters and telegrams from all parts of the country ask- ing for seats. A party in Indiana writes that there will be an excursion to Chicago and wants 500 tickets. President McKnight of the American association asks for five seats for the entire series. The various railroads centering in this city have an- nounced that excursion trains will be run and the capacity of the park will be tested as it never was before. I never, in all my experience, saw anything like the manifes- tation of interest that is being shown re- garding these games." A Sprint ICacc anil a. Row. Special to the Globe. Dayton, 0., Sept. 25.Dayton was full of sports to-day, a few to see John L. Sulli- van, but the larger part to see the sprint race between George Mitchell of Mi- amisburg and William Bingham of this city. Both are professionals, Mitchell being none other than J. 11. Slattery of Boeton and Bingham one of the runners of Canada, although the hitter's identity was concealed. The race was for 8500 a side, Mitchell giving Bingham a start of one yard. The excitement pending the race was in- tense and betting wrs lively. The Miamis- burg sports accompanied their man and displayed considerable confidence. The Dayton sports, who well knew their man. were equally confident and covered all the money that Miamisburg could put up. The race was run at the fair grounds in the presence of a large crowd. Albert Beebe, president of the Fair association, acted as referee. Con- siderable time was spent in sending the runners off, but when it was a go Binghani won easily, leading Mitchell by at least three yards. The excitement and indignation then ran high among the Miamisburg sports, who declared the race a dump. They declared that Mitchell has sold them out. As soon as the race was finished, Mitchell, who had nothing on but his britch-clout, jumped into a hack which was in readiness for him and was hurried out of the grounds. Hud he remained he would surely have fared ill. The stake holders refused to give up the money held by them. There is the greatest excitement here to-night. miscellaneous I?latlers. WHY TIIEDAUNTLESS WAS V.EATEN. New York, Sept. 25.— Capt. Montgom- ery, sailing master of the yacht Daunt- less, which was so badly beaten by the English cutter, Genesta, in the Brentou Reef race, attributes the fact to the light wind which prevailed during the first half of the race, and is confident that his yacht can outfoot the Genesta in heavy weather. He says that he is authorized by Sir Cald- well and Colt, owners of the Dauntless, to match her against any yacht afloat for a race across the Atlantic ocean either way for a wager of 3100,000. SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT. Springfield, Mass., Sept. 35. Richard Howell made a special effort on the llamp- den park bicycle track to-day to break the mile record for Safety bicycles. The time was as follows: Quarter, :42; half, 1:22; three-quarters, 2:01}^; mile, 2:48. This is 5% seconds better than the best previous mile record. ENGLISHMEN AHEAD. Philadelphia, Sept. 25.—At to-day's international cricket match the Philadel- phias finished their first innings for 147 runs against 192 made by the Englishmen in their first inning. Sixty stumps were drawn at sp. m and the Englishmen had scored 170 runs lii their second inning with the loss ofbut three wickets. ADELAIDE SOLD. Milwaukee, Sept. 25. —Capt. Bradley of this city has sold his well-known mare, Adelaide, to Mr. Schwartz of Chicago, for §12,000 cash. Her record is 2:18. A Distressing 1 Position. Special to the Globe. Richmond, Va., Sept. 25.Ada Green, the young Cuban wife who traced her hus- band to this place some weeks ago, was be- fore the court yesterday for burglary. Her story, as given in her testimony, is romantic and interesting: I was born in the West Indies eighteen years ago and my occupation is that of a dressmaker. I left Cuba several years ago and went to Philadelphia. While in that city I became acquainted with William Hicks and married him. He deserted me and Ireturned j to my home in Cuba. Some time elapsed be- fore I could obtain any tidings of his where- abouts, but finallylearned that he was in this country and in trouble. I immediately left Cuba and landed in New York. From New York I went to Philadelphia and Boston and diligently searched for him. At last I heard he was in Richmond and in prison. I came on to Richmond, passing through Washington, where I put on male attire. When I found my husband was in ail. I set to work to know how I could get to him. I concluded to commit theft that 1 might be sent to jail,where I could be with I him. SE3B The wife told her story calmly and ex- i cited much sympathy in its recital. The officers of the court will sign a petition re- questing the governor to commute her sen- tence to twelve months in jail. Even with this commutation her husband will be out of jail some months before her. During a part of her varied experience she served as a cabin boy on, a ship. Mr. Curtis' Absent-mindedness.

FLOWER For Sectretary of State. ..FREDERICK COOK For Comptroller A. A. CITAPIN For Attorney General DENNIS O'BRIEN For Treasurer ..LAWRENCE FITZGERALD For Engineer and Surveyor.NATHAN SWEET 'Flic Work off the Convention. 1. Special to the Globe. New Yobs, Sept. 25.—The Globe cor- respondent came from Saratoga on the train with Gen. Slocum and many of his personal friends. They announced boldly that their purpose in the convention was to defeat Hill, and hence the sudden and singular op- position last night against the movement to go on with the nomination of governor and Lieutenant governor. They say they were pledged for Slocum and they could have beaten Hill -without trouble this forenoon. Said one of the Kings county delegates: "Hill's no good, he hasn't got any boodle. All he's got in the world doesn't amount to $10,000. Slocum has got plenty of money, and so has Hewitt and Flower. What we want is a man with a barrel, and besides, we want a man from the big cities. These coun- try men have no business to have any of these big offices." As a whole the convention was composed of honest, intelligent and patriotic men, but there has been an obstructive minority com- posed of the worst political elements from Kings county and New York city. They have no other use for politics than as a money-making business. They have seriously interfered with the harmony of the convention in this instance, and, as in most others, have PIiOVED THEMSELVES NUISANCES and a discredit to the Democratic cause. One fact has been brought out in this conven- tion, if not in official action at least in con- versation, and that is that a majority of the. Democrats present are hostile to Cleveland on account of his civil service administra- tion. Pendleton is by name regarded as a saint, but is taking rank as a bold innovator whose civil service invention has robbed the starving Democracy ofbread. The platform substantially admits all that was demanded by eloquent Blair, president of the Work- ingman's assembly, in his address before the convention. The demands of the brewers are met by generality on sumptuary laws, which may mean much, little or nothing, according as may be desired. Both parties have two men of means, Davenport and Flower, on their ticket. In these respects they are alike. They are also alike in the fact that neither is satis- factory to its parly. The result will de- pend largely upon the willingness of the two men with the barrel to distribute its contents. There are refractory elements in both parties. Hill is the better manager and ifbacked liberally by Flower's money he will have rather the best of the contest. Neither ticket is in all respects what it ought to be. \u25a0 The Ticket Completed. Saratoga, Sept. 25. —The Democratic state convention reconvened at noon to- day and completed the ticket begun yester- day by making the following nominations: • Roswell P. Flower,for lieutenant governor: Frederick Cook of Rochester, for secretary of state: A. A. Chapin. the present incumbent, for comptroller; Dennis O'Brien, the present attorney general, was unanimously nomi- nated; Lawrence Fitzgerald of Cortland, for state treasurer; Nathan Sweet of Albany was nominated for state engineer and surveyor. By unanimous concent Gen. Roger A. Pryor submitted the following resolution, which was adopted unanimously: Resolved, That with profound sorrow the Democracy of the state of New York lament the death of the inflexible patriot and in- vincible soldier, C. S. Grant, [applause] of whose illustrious career they recognize the fitting crown and consummation in his dying invocation of peace and good will between the heroes he led and the heroes he con- quered. [Applause.] RESOLUTIONS. The platform comes distinctly to the point and congratulates the people on the election of President Cleveland. It commends the wise and statesmanlike tone of his inaugural address, and the significant public recognition in the selection of his cabinet advisers, of the fact that the union of these thirty-eight indestructible states!* at last thoroughly re-established. His firm, considerate and conscientious conduct as president has already proven the falsity of the predictions of national calamity with \u25a0which his enemies and the enemies of the Democratic party endeavored to alarm the public mind during the canvass. |Wo hereby tender to him our hearty approbation of the public policy which has governed his official action, and we especially emphasize in our approbation tfie eil'ort he has made to eradi- cate corruption and incompetency from the public service by'the appointment of honest and able Democrats, in order that this shall be a thorough and wholesome reform of methods condemned by the people who con- fided to him the administration of his Irish official trust. Gov. Hill's administration is warmly ap- proved and other Democratic state officials are commended. The federal state census every ten years is believed to be sunicient for all public interests. The declarations of the Democratic national conventions of 1876, 1860 and 1884, pertaining to civil service reform are affirmed, but the methods of enforcing the civil service laws by lie- publican officials is condemned. It is" asked that TIIE CIVILSERVICE COMMISSION be thoroughly reorganized and both parties fairlyrepresented in the examining board. While commending the general legislation pertaining to civil service reform, at the same time the Democracy of New York wishes to place on record the wish and pur- pose, that the proper officials of each gov- ernment, charged with the execution of that legislation and empowered to make suitable rules and regulations to carry it into effect, shall take care that the constitutional power of the executive and heads of departments to make appointments shall not be impaired and that the machinery, whatever it may be, for the testing of eligible candidates, shall not be prostituted for unworthy pur- poses. This sentiment was not concurred in by the committee, but the minority in the in- terest of harmony agreed to make no minor- ity report. The convention declared its be- liefthat the experiment of coining standard silver dollars in the hope of maintaining a fixed rate with gold has gone far enough and cannot be continued longer without great danger to the business interests of the country. The loss in interest alone on the silver dollars stored up in the treasury is over four millions of dollars per annum, and the accumulation of silver purchased at a cost of -*180,000,000, is worth to-day not more than 5166.000, with every prospect of a further depreciation. Therefore the re- peal of the act under which the compulsory coinage of silver is demanded. The plat- form pledges the party "to revise the tariff in a spirit of fairness to all interests," while it declares in favor of AREDUCTION IN TAXATION and the enlargement of the free list in order to lessen the cost of production. It commits the party to a due regard for ex- isting interests, as a ''plain dictate of jus- tice,"' and declares "that American labor shall not be deprived of the ability to "com- pete successfully with foreign labor, and that the proposed duties shall he sufficient to cover any increased cost of production which may exist in consequence of the higher rate of wages prevailing in the coun- try. The convention calls for a revision of the tariff upon the principles thus laid down. It also demands that the methods of administration in the custom houses SUALL BE THOBOtTGHLT REFOKMED and tho vexatious annoyances and oppres- sive regulations, which have driven our own merchants out of business shall be swept iiway. Opposition to contract labor is de- clared, and also to the employment of chil- dren under 14 years of ago in factories. Such legislation as shall insure U> honorably discharged soldiers and sailors of the late war for the preservation of the Union pri- ority in certification under the civil service laws and regulations of tho state and the cities thereof. Such laws are demanded as shall effectually protect the people by pro- hibiting fraud and deception in the manu- facture of butter and cheese. All sumptuary and other laws that interfere with the con- stitutional right of personal liberty are op- posed, while tiie enactment of .such excise laws as shall be aiii;e just to all, consider- ing the claims of all,and protecting their in- dividual rights are recommended. The resolutions were adopted without a dissenting voice and at 2:45 p. u>. the con- vention adjourned sine die. A Republican Opinion of ISr. Hill. Special to the Globe. N'f.w York, Sept. 25.— Hon. D. B. Eaton was asked this morning what he thought of the nomination of Gov. Hill by the New York Democratic state convention. He said: "It was a Tammany triumph that •will prove a Democratic defeat in November. The onfy hope of tho Democratic party is, instead, a fast adherence to the administration. It was an opportunity for the party that is out of office to throw down the jrauntlet of civil ser- vice reform and push the quostion of the campaign on that issue. If it is true that Mr. Hill is nominated as an out and out op- ponent of civil service reform, he will have all the flight he wants in this eamuaig-u." A friend of Mr. Eaton remarked that he was sorry to learn that the commissioner was going to retire from public service. "I am going outside, where tho fight will be," said Mr, Eaton. Gossip About I lie Ticket. Special to the Globe. Washington, Sept. 25.—A Democrat who is in office, and who for that reason does not want his name mentioned, ex- pressed a very common Democratic opinion when he said to the Globe correspondent to-day that he thought the Republican ticket in the state of New York was a very strong one and the Democratic ticket was a very weak one. The nomination of Hill and Flower, ha said, is a blow struck directly at the president and his civil service policy. With the ticket nom- inated and platform adopted the Democrats will lose the independent vote, but they will bring out the whole Democratic vote, especially the old-fashioned Democrats who are for the spoils. Whichever way the election goes, the Democrats who don't agree with the president will claim that he has been rebuked. If the Republicans carry the election it will be argued that the defeat of the'president's own party in his own state is a decisive rebuke to him. But ifthe Democrats carry tho election it will be an old-fashioned to-the-victors-be- long-the-spoils victory, and, the anti-civil service reformers will declare it to be an overwhelming repudiation of the presi- dent's policy regarding the public service. A Funny Campaign in Progress. Special to the Globe. DesMoines, la., Sept. 25.—C01. W. H. Hepburn of Clarinda and J. P. Dolliver of Ft. Dodge opened the Republican campaign here to-night, speaking to an audience of about eight hundred. Their addresses cre- ated considerable enthusiasm. The pend- ing lowa canvass would be best described as a splintery one. There is evidently less cohesion in all directions than has ever been known before. The Republicans began the campaign under the depressing influences of a national defeat last year. The malign effect of Gov. [ Sherman's blows with a sledge hammer on \u25a0 Auditor Brown's door and withthej surpris- ing increase in the number of saloons In the chief towns; the treatment of Maj. Ander- son in the siate convention and notable re- : volts on local issues that have occurred in ; Grundy, Ida and other counties are tending still further to weaken the Re- publicans, and w riiile the prin- cipal Republican orators are drawing fair sized audiences, enthusiasm isn't abounding. The Republicans are still further bothered by the certainty that ultra-Prohibitionists will put a ticket in the lield. It is prob- able that this movement will have a small vote, but at the same time, it will turn loose a number of incisive orators, whose .-ileuce would be desirable to the party lead- ers. On the other hand, Republicans WHO PBOFESS TO KNOW, claim that a good many Democrats will ab- stain from voting on account of the license plank in the Cedar Rapids platform, drop- ping to too low a tigure to suit their owners, and in this connection it may be stated as a broad proposition that something like the Nebraska excise law would now be preferred by a majority of both the old parties, and it is a safe prediction that such will become a law in the legislature of ISBB. The seat of the dissat- isfaction toward the Cedar Rapids platform is said to be m Poweshiek county. Other Republicans, who claim to speak with authority, claim that Gillette is to be scratched considerably by Democratic voters because he has always been a Prohibitionist, but this seems unreasonable, as hjs bit- terest opponents before the Cedar Rapids convention are giving him an honest support. The Greenbackers. too, have complications of their own. In spite of the fact that Judge Whiting is an alumnus of the anti-monopoly class of 187:5, and that that they have Gillette and Moore besides, leaving Brannon as the only simon-pure Democrat on the fusion ticket, many Greenbackcrs who are JEALOUS OF THE POLITICAL SUCCESS of Gen. Weaver and Mr. Gillette have called a straight convention to meet at Mar- shalltowu. It is probable that this split will just about offset the vote of straight Prohibitionists. The funniest incident of this funny campaign is the tusion in Davis county, the home of Gen. Weaver, between the Republicans and Greenbackers. This fusion has selected S. A. Moore, the father of the fusion candidate for state superintend- ent, as its candidate for the legislature and in the present state of things the father and son both have a chance to win. On the state ticket a careful estimate is that the Republicans may get through with a small majority, but whether they succeed or not the drift of past campaigns toward their defeat is still in motion. The opposi- tion are sure to gain some senators and will probably about tie the house, thus re- ducing the joint majority of Republicans to a narrow limit. Gov. Hill Holds a Levee. Albany, Sept. 25.—Gov. Hill received the congratulations of many prominent . Democrats from all parts of tbe state at the executive mansion to-night. Most of the delegation to the late convention stopped over at Albany and made congratulatory calls. The Excelsior club of Elmira and Jackson's Sons of Albany also tendered the governor a serenade this evening. Fully 5.000 people joined in the demonstration. Gov. Hill delivered an address thanking them for their expressions of good-will. Hary Donovan to be Investigated. •New Yobk, Sept. 25.—A Washington special to the Post, giving an interview with Postmaster General Yilas, says: No decision of any kind has been reached in the matter of Harry Donovan, superintend- ent of carriers at the Chicago postoffice, who has been elected president of a youn? Democratic club, and the postmaster gen- eral even says that the matter is now under investigation. ST. PAUL; SATURDAY MOKNINd SEPTEMBER 26, 1885. —TEN PAGES.

Architect Well in His Own Defense. Special to the Globe. Washington, Sept. 25. —Supervising Architect Bell says the attack on him at. the Tuesday evening meeting of the work- ihgmen in Minneapolis was not at all war- ranted by the facts. The charge that he is favoring prison laborer quarries run by prison labor is, he says, entirely untrue. The specifications for stone to be furnished for the Minneapolis building, which are com- plained of, read as follows: Tiio steps, platforms, etc., of the first stories, batters, covers of coal shutes und manholes, pier caps and baud stones und first story door sills to be of granite. The stops to the rear area facing1 the basement and on \u25a0walls, footings and interior piers of all other stone not. beforo mentioned to be equal to Bedford, Intl., or Lamout, 111., limo.stoue. Bids will also bo received for the whole of tbe exposed stonework oi! grauite and the re- maining or unexposed stouework of yood hard limestone. '"The feature to which objection seems to be made," said Mr. Bell, '"is the reference to the Bedford and Lemont stone, which is probably quarried and perhaps dressed by convict labor. But the specifications do not call for this stone, but merely mention those as a standard. I presume there is as good stone in Minnesota as that mentioned, and if there is, and it is offered as low as any other, it will of course be accepted. We only mentioned these because they are good stone, able to stand the severe ciimate of Minnesota, and they were therefore used as a standard. We must have good stone for this building, but are not asking for this particular kind, only that the quality must be as good as those mentioned. The fact that wo are willing to accept granite for ali the work shows that we are not working in the interest of the limestone quarries referred to. The whole thing is absurd and founded either on a miscon- ception or a willful perversion of the facts." A Pardou for the Youuger Brothers. Special to the Globe. Washingtox, Sept. 25. —People coin- ing nere from tiie Northwest say there is a decided movement on foot looking toward the presentation to President Cleveland of a petition for the paraon of the Younger brothers. The chances of success are some- what marred by the statement by Col. La- mout to-day that the president did not yet know that there were any such people as the Younger brothers in existence. .llr. Kasson's £xpciieucc Abroad. Special to the Globe. Washington, Sept. 25. —An interesting fact comes to the surface incidentally just now through Hon. John A. Kasson, ex- minister to Germany. Your correspondent met him yesterday coming from the state department, where he had been closing up his business, and asked him in the course of ii brief conversation if he found his ex- perience while abroad a pleasant one. '•I fouDtl it a very valuable one," 'he an- swered, "though so full of hard work that it could scarcely be called a very pleasant one." "Then the popular idea that diplomatic positions are all fun and no work is not a cor- rect one?" "It certainly was not my experience. I find myself wondering now, as Igo over the pa- pers connected with uiy work abroad, how I ever managed to aret through with the amount of labor performed. My work In connection with the Con.ffo matter was especially labor- ious, although very valuable tome. It gave me a f, rrt>at eeal of information which I did not before possess. Indeed, my whole ex- perience abroad this time was very valuable to me. The insight "which I gained into dip- lomatic metliorls and matters abroad was not only very interesting to me, but were more valuable in this line than a decade at home." Coming from such a man as Mr. Kasson. this shows with great clearness the actual value as instructors of these diplomatic positions. He had been not only in the diplomatic service in former years, but had been for a long time a member of congress, prominent on the committee of foreign affairs, and was looked up to iv the house as one of its ablest and best posted members in regard to diplomatic matters, and to rind him coming home with so much added in- formation gathered in so short a time speaks volumes for the real value of these positions to men who accept them with an earnest desire to learn as well as to make them- selves valuable to the government. Tho Guard at Grant's Tomb. Special to the Globe. Washixotox, Sept. 25. —Inquiry at the r department develops the fact that the guard detailed from the regular troops and stationed at Gen. Grant's tomb will be re- moved upon the Ist of January next. "And why wiD this be done'/" was asked of a prominent army official. "It is entirely a matter of dollars and cents. There is no fund for its longer maintenance." "But the guard at Garfield's tomb In Clove- land cemetery yet keeps its vigils, does it not?" "Fes, and I do not know when it will be re- moved. You can understand readily that such a removal wa3 a most delicate matter for President Arthur, and under the present administration the question hud never been presented. The retention of it is absurd and costly. But the jruard at the Grant tomb will never be permitted to reach the ridiculous excess of expenditure practiced at Cleve- land." A Victim of Ecuadorian Cupidity. Washington, Sept. 25. — Julian R. Santos, a naturalized citizen, recently re- teased from prison in Ecuador on the de- mand of the United States government, backed by a man-of-war, arrived here to- day in company with Congressman Mc- Comas of Maryland, and called at the de- partment of state to express his thanks for its successful efforts in his behalf. To a reporter of the Associated Press Mr. Santos said that the Ecuadorian authorities pre- tended to have liberated him in consequence of the passage of an act of pardon by the Ecuadorian congress. This Mr. Santos declares was a mere pretense. He was lib- erated three days after the arrival of the Iroquois. and wholly in consequence of the United States government. The charge against him of having conspired against the government of Ecuador, was, he declared, untrue. He was imprisoned with some other business men in order that money might be extricated from him. He has documentary evidence of willingness of the authorities to release him at any time on the payment of $30,000. He was con- fined for a time in an unventilated and filthy coal hulk and was then transferred to a prison situated in the basement of a yel- low fever hospital. Mr. Santos will employ counsel and will file a claim for damages with the state department against the gov- ernment of Ecuador. Dr. Hamilton Act So Secure. Special to the Globe. Washington, Sept. 25.—The impression is being carefully disseminated that the fight over the surgeon generalship of the Marine hospital service is all over and Dr. Hamilton is to stay, but this is only strategy. The fight is not over by a great deal. The vice president has dropped Dr. . Matthews, but Senator Voorhees, ex- Senator McDonald and Mr. English j have not dropped -Dr. Walling, though ( they are seeking to give the impression that they have. Last night Dr. Walling got himself interviewed and ex- plained that he had dropped the fight and was going home, and the president had de- cided not to disturb Dr. Hamilton for the present at least, but to-day Messrs. McDon- ald, English and Voorhees called on the president and Secretary Manniug and made a dead set for Walling'R appointment. They insisted in the most strenuous manner that such a good place as Dr. Hamilton's should not be left in possession of a Kepub- lican. To outsiders these gentlemen have made vague but vehement threats of all sorts of trouble that would be made the president if ho did not put a Democrat in the surgeon generalship. Provisions of Warner's Bill. Special to the Globe. Washington, Sept. 25.—The New York Herald to-day prints the text of Warner's silver bill. It is j ust about as described in this correspondence months ago. It author- izes the issue of silver certiucates by the treasury on the deposit of silver bullion, the certificates to be in sums of $10 or mul- tiples thereof. Smaller silver certificates of \u25a0Si, $3 and $5 denominations may be issued on deposit of silver dollars. The value of all silver so deposited is to be based on the mean average selling price on the market in New York. The silver certificates are to be redeemed in legal money or bullion, at the option of the treasury, on demand, the same method being used to get the value of silver when redemption occurs. The cer- tificates are to be legal tender for payment of all debts and demands due the govern- ment. A legal tender between banks may be deposited, instead of bonds as a basis for circulation. '1 he Herald denounces the bill bitterly, and says if Mr. Warner was the hired agent of the silver kings he could scarcely invent a measure more subservient to their interest or opposed to the public welfare. Proves to be a Itascal. Special to tho Globe. Washington, Sept. 25.—Mr. John L. Parrish, appointed consul to Chemnitz in 1883, disappeared, it is said, from his post without straightening up his accounts. Up to the time of his appointment Mr. Parrish lived on the West Side in Chicago. He was a member of the Thirty-third assembly at Springfield and helped to elect Mr. Cullom to the United States senate. When Presi- dent Cleveland and Secretary Bayard began to go over the foreign officers the accounting officials of the treasury department it is said notified the state department that the accounts of Parrish were in very bad shape. It was very plainly intimated, it is claimed, that tins official was behind to the government. Mr. George C. Tanner, consul at Honduras, was ordered to Chemnitz to succeed Mr. Parrish. He arrived at his post about the middle of April. The consulate was in charge of Mr. Reichold, who was acting as vice consul without any warrant by law. Neither Mr. Parrish nor his vice-consul, Clayton C. Mason, could be found, and. a few days subsequently Mr. Parrish called at the consulate and at- tempted to explain the shortage in his ac- count by fixing .the responsibility upon Vice Consul Mason, who, he claimed, had abused his confidence. The next clay Par- rish disappeared again an d has not been heard from since. Mr. Parrish has been in Chicago of late but now his relatives declare he makes his headquarters at New York, representing certain manufacturers there. SirLiioncl West Expresses Himself. Special to the Globe. New Yokk, Sept. 25.—Sir Lionel West, the British minister at Washington, said to a reporter to-day: i "The resolution in Ronmolia -will not, I think, cause a war between the powers. Roumelia is a Christian country, and does not wish to be under control of the Turk. It is true tho Berlin treaty has been violated, but it amounts to nothing. England doubtless expected that treaty would so to pieces after a few years. I thiuk it is only a question of a few years when nothing will be left of Turkey in Europe." In speaking of the silver question, Mr. West said: The Bland silver bill should be repealed. The unlimited coinage of silver will create fictitious values. The other day in London silver as bullion went down to 47 ponce, and the American Bland buzzard silver dollar dropped to 17 pence. This will always be the case us long as tho present system remains in force. It suerus impossible at present to establish a system of bimetallism. Of the Fourtli Class.

Streetor of Minnesota and John Le- fabre of Chamberlain, Dak., called on the president, yesterday. The latter is editor of the Democrat, and urges the president to consider tho sufferings of all the evicted farmers on the Crow Creek reservation. The president made no promiso, and stated he must enforce the laws as he found them. The supreme court of tho district to-day decided not to hear farther argument upon the petition of Paymaster General Smith, praying that the secretary of tho navy and tho court-martial bo restrained from further proceedings against Smith, and rendered a decision adverse to the petitioner. A statement prepared by Supt. Bell of the foreign mails burcauj shows that the weight of tho foreign letter mail decreased 7,790 pounds during the fiscal year, while tho weight of printed matter increased 33.319 pounds. The cost of ocean mail transit was $827,179, or just $28.50 less than the cost dur- ing the preceding year.

Pusey pleaded guilty to-day ami was sen- tenced to eight years in the penitentiary. In the interview he alleges that Ex-Gov. Glick and the warden, W. C. Jones, were cognizant of the crooked work being done at the state coal mine, as the coal was fur- nished Glick and his son-in-law, for which the state was never paid. The matter is creating much talk. PasscngerTrain Wrecked.

One Hundred Dollars Worth of Lumbe; Lost by a Destructive Tire in Chicago. Immense Frauds Being Unearthed in tht> New York Custom House by Detectives. Two Children Abducted Twonty-flv« Years Ago It* stored to Tlielr Father. Dramatic Scene in an Indiana Court- Unfortunate Train of Cir- cumstances. BiST Lumber Yard Fire. Chicago, Sept. 25.—At about -12:30 o'clock to-day tire started from some un- known cause, but supposed to be from sparks from a locomotive engine, in the lumber yard of Charles S. Gardner & Co., located on South Ashland avenue, south of West Twenty-second street. A high wind was blowing at the time and the breeze tanned the tire into a blaze. Before the engines had commenced to play on the blaze the tire marshal foresaw that it would require a great effort to subdue them, and at once turned in a second and then a third alarm. This brought to the grounds a large number of engines from all over the city, and they arrived none too soon. As the flames spread the wind seemed to increase in velocity until those who were gathered around thought it was blowing a hurricane. Hundreds of persons collected in the vicinity and watched the unusual sight of large pieces ofburning wood flying through the air. All along the slope of the viaduct down to Twenty-second street and every here in the vicinity the wildest ex- citement prevailed among householders. Crowds of anxious and frightened women and children ran hither and thither, some screaming, some shouting and some wring- ing their hands and looking aghast at the lire, seeming to anticipate A GENEIUL CONFLAGRATION AND a repetition of the great fire of 1871, as the blaze took its beginning very near the ori- gin of that lire. The names spread rapidly to the yard of C. B. Flinn & Co. and the John Spry Lumber company, and almost completely enveloped them, and threatened the large yards of the Soper Lumber com- pany. Thousands of men were employed by the latter linn to throw water in buckets on piles of lumber. The only thing dividing the Soper company from the heat and lire from Fliuu & Co.'s yard, was a slip of the Chicago river. A lire tug was stationed there, and worked well on the burning timber, but great fears were expressed that it could not prevent the fire from reaching Soper's yard. While working in the yard of Flinn & Co., several firemen were overcome by heat. They were rescued from their perilous posi- tion and cared for. It was not thought that any of the cases would result seriously. By persistent work the lire was got under control after burning two hours, without reaching the yards of the Soper Lumber company. The loss is roughly estimated evening at $100,000. After the Swindlers. New Yokk, Sept. 25. — The Times of this morning says the numerous complaints of evils arising from undervaluation and appraisement of imported merchandise in- cited Secretary Manning a short time ago to commission three United States special agents to make an investigation. The agents have been at work in this city for several days and whisperings of extraordi- nary disclosures are already heard among the employes of the custom house and the appraiser's office. The investigation Is be- ng conducted secretly and its result, if made public at all, must first be filtered through the treasury department. Persons who have an inkling of what has been dis- covered say that the present system of get- ting foreign goods into this country is hon- eycombed with rottenness. It is now gen- erally known that three large importing houses of this city lately paid to the govern- ment more than $120,000 each on reap- praiseinents of goods that they had been accused of undervaluing. That such largo sums have been involved is indicative of the great extent of the undervaluation evil and the fact that the sums of money demanded under the reappraisements were actually paid to.the government is certainly signifi- cant. Besides the three firms that have al- ready been mulcted, there are other cases where payments of a similar nature are likely to be exacted. It is probable that a dozen or fifteen New York firms will be pressed to pay to the United States treasury moneys which the government's agents be- lieve should have been originally paid in honest duties. These sums will aggregate about SI,000,000. A widely signed petition is now in circulation among the New York importers, asking congress to substitute a specific tariff for the existing advalorem rate, which is subject to the interpretation of special agents. Abducted by Their Aunt. Special to the Globe. . Pawtucket, E. 1., Sept. 25..—After twenty-five years Thomas Garrity, who has won a fortune in the West, has found here his two children, who were stolen from him in 1800, and whom he never expected to sea again. His story is a most romantic one. Twenty-five years ago he was a resident of Pawtucket. His wife died of consumption, leaving two small children. In due time Mr. Garrity married again, and soon after, with his new wife and two children, re- moved to Boston. When out on the street one day walking with the children, the boy being four years old and the girl fourteen months, he met a sister of his first wife. After a few words of surprise at seeing him, the woman asked permission to take the chil- dren to a confectionery store to get them some candy. He went after them in a short time, but they had disappeared. All search for the abductress failed, although the police traced the aunt and little ones to Pawtucket, and afterwards to Worcester. There all clews were lost. The disconso- late father reluctantly gave up the search and went West. Prosperity attended him and last week he came to Boston a rich man, and with the aid of his wealth renewed his search for his stolen children. A skilled detective was employed, and as a result of his efforts, Mr. Garrity to-day met at the Conant thread works here, a tall, handsome brunette of 27, \u25a0who is un- questionably his daughter. She is highly esteemed, though poor, and is a singer at St. Mary's church. The meeting between the girl and her father was most affecting. She told him that her brother Thomas is living in Natick, Mass. He is married, but the daughter is single. Their aunt told the children that their father and mother were both dead. Family troubles caused abduction. A vain attempt has been made to keep the story secret and to conceal Mr. Garrity's identity. Dramatic Court Scene. Mctncie, Ind., Sept 25. —There was a dramatic scene in. court to-day. Bishop and Oney Scott and Frank Poore were on trial for the murder of William Haynes on March 20, at Eaton. Bishop Scott shot Haynes in trying to frighten him, and Oney and Poore are his alleged accomplices. Scott, whose wife gave premature birth to, twins a few days since, and whose father has gone blind with grief, was testifying, when suddenly his mind gave way, and he became hopelessly insane. The crowd surged round, his sister screamed, and dur- ing the wildest excitement he was removed to jail. Four men were required to hold him in bed. v \~;: Vice President Hendricks is in Atlantio City, N. J.
