The Federal Election Bill Denounced bj All of the Speakers. LETTERS FKOH CLEVELAND AND HILL The Tammany Society of New York held a great political meeting yesterday. A number of Congressmen were present. The federal election bill was tbe especial object of denunciation. Bynum and Crisp were the chief speakers. nr-ECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Kett Yoke, July 4. Tammany's Fourth was celebrated with glitter and glory, flags and flowers, brass band music and good cheer, and with unanimous recognition of the national issue forced upon the Demo cratic party by the Republican majority in Congress. The eloquence of orators of na tional reputation made the crowd and sweltering council chamber attractive to thousands. Grand Sachem Abram B. Tappan pre sided, and his address ot welcome seemed to be a keynote to the talk of the day. He said that it is now more than ever the patri otic duty of good citizens to remember the Fourtb,and its significance, when the parti san majority in the halls of Congress, in temporary ascendancy, seeks to perpetuate its power by outrage aud usurpation. BTNUJI THE ORATOR. The orator of the day, the Hon. "William Z. Bynum, was introduced. Of course, that could not be done without a reference to his having dared to defy the wrath of Speaker Reed and to his pride in having received the censure of the majority lor it. Mr. Brum's hearty reception aud the ihree cheers that accompanied it testified to Tammany's love of a fighter. He smiled with pleasure and said, a ter a Democratic definition of what the day means: For months the people have witnessed, not, I believe, without indignation, the presiding officer of the House of Representatives assnmft unwarranted powers, trample npon the rights of Representatives and override the most sacred provisions of the Constitution for tbe purpose- of robbing constituencies of their rightful representation. Practices established and precedents observed and revered from tbe foundation of the Government have been ignored by the Speaker with a rudeness akin to barbarism, and even his own words and arguments uttered under the solemnity of the most sacred obligation that could bo adminis tered to a freeman, that of preserving and de fending the Constitution of his country were, when cited in condemnation of bis conduct.aro scoffed and jeered at by himself and his par tisans as if tbey were but the idle vaponnjrs of a brainless dexnacoguo on the sand lots of San Francisco. J SOME VIGOROUS LANGUAGE. juter sketching the course of the major ity in Congress he continned: Every one understood that the design of these freebooters was to rob a sufficient rnm ber of constituencies of Republicans to pnt in men who could be utilized in the enactment of a federal election law to perpetuate their power in defiance of tbe action and will of the people. 11 r. Bynum continued with a review of the bill, of which he said: What a machine for oppression, intimidation and corruption! The office of chief supervisor is to be made tbe centre of political information and political advantage. He will be the source of Information and power. Our free institu tions have weatbered many a storm; they have majestically stood the attacks from the alien and sedition laws: tbev triumphed over Know notbingisin; tbey have survived the unbridled passions and terrible influences ot civil war; they have received many a stab, but never from an source has sneb a wicked and deadly thrust at tbe very heart of tbo nation been made as this. Be not deceived: this measure is not in tended for tbe South alone. It is intended for New York and Indiana in 1S92. It is to enable that "original package" of political rascality, John I. Davennort, to appoint an army of spies to invade your homes and drive jou from the pells. A SOUTHERN STATESMAN. Hon. Chas. F. Crisp, of Georgia, gave a long review of the work of the House, and the result of the 17 contests for seats, and made a further analysis of the election bill. Two letters of regret were read, and elicited great applause. Mr. Cleveland wrote from Marion: Onr fathers, in establishing a new govern ment upon tbe will of tbe people and conse crated to their care and just protection, could not prescribe limitations which would deny to political parties its conduct and administration. The opportunities and tbe temptations thus necessaxillr presented to partisanship have brought us to a time when party control is far too arrogant and bitter, and when, in public place, the true interests of the country are too lightly considered. In this predicament those who love their country may well remember with comfort and satisfaction on Independence Say that tbe disposition of tbe American people to revolt against maladministration still remains to them and is the badge of their free dom and independence as well as their security for continued prosperity and happiness. They will not revolt against their plan of government for its protection and preservation supply every inspiration of true Americanism, but, because tbey are free and independent Ameri can citizens, tbey will, as long as their love and veneration lor their Government shall last, revolt against the domination of any political party which, entrusted with power, sordidly seeks only its continuance and which faith lessly violating its PLAIN AND SIMPLE DtTIT -to the people, insults them withprofesslons of disinterested solicitude, while it eats out their sunstance. And yet, with all this, we shonld not in blind security deny tbe existence of danger. The masses of our countrymen are brave, and therefore generous; they are strong, and therefore confident, and tbey are honest, and therefore unsuspecting. Our peril lies in tbe ease with which tbey may be delnded and cajoled by those who would traffic with their Interests. Ko occasion is more opportune than the celebration of tbe one hundred and four teenth anniversary of American independence to warn the American people of tb" present ne cessity on their part of a vigilant watchfulness of their riclits. and a jealous exaction of hon est and unselfish performance of public duty. Governor Hill wrote from Albany on Thursday: This anniversary day will be dear to friends of human liberty in every land, bnttbe observa tion of it ought never to be igunred by genuine Americans. Its celebration oupht to be more than usually serious. It ought to represent reconsecration of the people to the principles upon which their Government was founded. 1 he beginning of the second century ot our cderal existence has w ltnessed a strange de parture from those jr"uciples. 'The party in control of the Government is exhibiting in the executive and legislative brandies a dangerous tendency toward usurpation and centralization of power, culminating thus far in tbe passage by the House of Bepresentatives of an election bill which a large part of the people have with justice and propriety emphatically denounced ga subversive of THE POPULAR EIGHTS nd revolutionary in purpose and effect. Snoald such legislation continue unrehuked our Constitution will become blank paper. a'Bd our country will need a new declaration of Independence. Tammany Hall will but echo tbe best sentiment of tbe country when it ap peals to the patriotic instincts of men of all parties to oppose these tendencies toward cen tralization and Governmental favoritism. It is n organization with an illustrlnn. hi.r r.. influence is powerful and far reaching. It Is an important factor in our American clvillza tion. It stretcbes a protecting arm over tbe poor and ignorant who come to our land from distant shores, and instructs them in tbe duties of American citizenship. It has been a stead fast friend to manhood nuffrage and has vigor ously opposed every attempt, no matter how carefully concealed or how ingeniously de vised, to disfranchise a single honest voter, humble and unlettered though he may be. It has bravely stood for individual liberty, local self government,the debts of the States, equal privileges for all, and an economical adminis tration of public affairs. Wilh such tradi tions it should be the first to strike a warning note and lend its energies again to secure strict adherence to the fundamental principles of our constitution. Its voice will be heard and heeded. Its example wjll be an inspiration to thousands i.f men all over the countrv who re joice to'call themselves Democrats because Democracy presents these true American ideas. In cmplojing this glorious anniversary to urge resistance and rebuke to any encroachment npon or surrender of these ideas and to revive devotion to Jeffcrsonian principles tho Tam many Society will be rendering a beneficent and patriotic service worthy of grateful re membrance in tbe minds of the people. A CALL, FOB MASS MEETINGS. Resolutions were then passed calling upon citizens all over the country to hold mass meetings to denounce the federal election bill and to protest against its passage by the Senate. Short and interesting talks were given by Governor Biggs, of Dela ware, and Congressmen Springerof Illi nois; Caruth, of Kentucky; Wilkinson, of Louisiana; McMillin, oi Tennessee; Allen, of Mississippi; Kerr, of Pennsylvania; Enloe, ot Tennessee; Yoder, of Ohio, aud Mansur, of Missouri. Mr. Caruth's speech included a para phrase of the epitaph of his five wives, written by a man who moved their remains Irom one graveyard to another, and unfor tunately mixed them up. "Stranger, pause and drop a tear, Susan Sparks is buried here, mingled in some mysterious manner with Sarah, Mary, Jane and Hannah. Mr. Caruth suggested as an epitaph for those whom'the roused people will bury and mix up: "Stranger, pause, but drop "no tear, for Tommy Reed lies buried here; mingled in some mysterious way, with parts of Wana maker, Piatt and Quay." There was a reception to the visiting Con gressmen at the Manhattan Club in the evening. SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS. THE DUTIES AND REQUIREMENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL TEACHER. The Xntlonnl Council of Ednrntlon In Ses sion nt M. rani Dr. E. K. While, ofCnn lon. Rend,! nn Interesting Paper, Which Evrltrs Much Discussion. St Paul, Minx., July 4. The Na tional Council of Education began its four days' session in the Chamber of Commerce Rooms at 9 o'clock this morning, President Selim H. Peabody, of Champaign, 111., in the chair, and State Superin tendent Kiehl, of Minnesota, acting as 'Secretary. The session opened with prayer by Prof."j. T. Pickard, of Iowa, and Chair man Merrill, of the St. Paul Executive Committee, extended a hearty welcome to the members of the council. President Pea body addressed tbe council in some remarks on patriotism among American young peo ple. The regular programme was begun by the presentation of a report on "Schools' Super intendents in Cities," by Dr. E. E. White, of Ohio, Chairman of the Committee on City School Systems. The report held that the Board" of Education was a village or ganization and that no board had got much beyond the primitive stage, and it is a failure in cities. The really successful schools are so because of competent superintendents to whom the boards have entrusted the schools. Education is something which cannot be managed by the ignorant, and the best teachers and superintendents are spoiled by the ignorant interference of Boards of Education. Tbe general discus sion or the paper lasted three hours. Aaron Gove.. Superintendent of the Denver schools, thought no superintendent should be a dictator, tLat he should plan with his co-workers, and he believed the schools would be more successful if that position were permaueu Mrs. B. A. Horisdal- of Ann Arbor, Mich., believed that the school system should be divided into three departments of accounts and records, of construction and repairs and of instruction and discipline. Dr. W. T. Harris, United States Commis sioner of Education, thought an elected su perintendent might be advisable if such office could be a teacher, and by being elected not become too much of a politician. Dr. White here said there was nothing in the paper to "put the Superintendent above the school board; he must have a position of well-defined subordination, responsible, but not above. The County Superintendent is recognized by law, the State Superinten dency is defined and is not above the State Board. The City Superintendent must have tbe initiatory act, not be independent but co ordinate with the boards. FBANCE AKD THE TARIFF. A LondInevrarIslnn Newspaper Propose! a Scheme lor Reciprocity. Paris, July 4. The Temps newspaper yesterday devoted a big leader to the Mc kinley bill, that says "the United States are laboring under the extraordinary difficulty of an enormous excess of revenue over expenditure and the strong feeling in favor of protection which prevails in that country forbids the simple so lution of the difficulty by reducing import duties. Politicians of McKin- ley's school seem to aim at reducing the surplus both by making the tariff prohibi tory, and by frightening away the import trade by threats of confiscation and im prisonment. The bill in its main outlines has been adopted, and is to come into force on Aucust 1. As the prevention of imports will make things dearer in the United States and make exports difficult, if not im possible, a second bill has been brought for ward to give subsidies to producers and bounties to exporters." The Temps concludes: "From the French point ot view both othee bills are deplor able. They threaten profound disturb -see of our trade with the United States, v hicj amounts every year to an exchange of 25C, 000,000 of onr products lor 250,000,000 of theirs. It is evident, therefore, that great interests are at stake. Is it not possible, by consenting to rescind tbe prohibition on the importation of American pork, to come to some arrangement? Before talking of reprisals, which there is always time for, would it not be better to attetiiDt to bring about some agreement between the two Re publics? It seems to us thai that is the wisest course of action." OK A LARGE SCALE. Uorse Thieves In Montana Doing Business by I be Wholesale. Spokane F.xls, Wash., July 4. Horse thieves have made a grand round up in Eastern "Washington and Northern Idaho during the past few days. The method of their operatiens indicate that they have a regularly organized band with a leader, and numbers sufficient to tuvci a joikc urea ot coun try. Saturday and Sunday last thev rendezvoused near this city and hastened away with 500 head of horses toward the British Columbia line, through the Flat Head Indian country, in Northwesten Mon tana. A. L. Smith's ranch, near this city, was visiled Sunday night and several fine animals were stolen, including a valuable roadster owned y Dr. C. S. Penfield, City Physician. A "Walla "Walla farmer reports the loss of 60 head which were traced to within a few miles of Spokane Falls. "William Lewis, of Cheney, lost a stallion for which he re cently paid $1,200. A large number of ranchers are here to-day organizing lor pursuit of the thieves, but with little hope ol success, as the villains have several hundred miles start and doubtless are thoroughly acquainted with the country, which is very rugged aud traveled. Some of the thieves are known to the police as desperadoes, who would not halt at the sacrifice of human life rather than submit to capture. THE ROBERT B. CARNAHAN, WELL-KNOWN ATTORNEY PASSES AWAY.

Mr. Smith has again postponed his promised statement of the course of business to be adopted in Parlia ment by the Government for the rest of the session. This has occasioned great disap pointment to the Conservative members,wbo are clamoring about the whips, endeavoring to find out when this interminable session is likely to end. The dissatisfaction in the Tory ranks is growing more open and positive every day. The Committee on Precedure, appointed to consider the question of the suspension of bills Irom session to session, will probably present a majority report in favor of the Government scheme of establishing suspen sion by a standing order, instead of by a regular bill, as the Liberals desire. If this majority be obtained only by the casting vote of the Chairman of the committee, the suspension proposal will be dropped com pletely. If there be a majority of more than one tbe matter will be carried to the House for its decision, and this will result in a further keen, debate on the question, and a considerable waste of the time of the commissioners if a decision is expected. To-day the Standard says that the re demption clause of the tithes bill will be dropped, and the bill carried in the abridged form. A CHANCEJOR BLAINE. AN AMERICAN SOCIETY LADY IN A PARIS POLICE COURT. The Youns Womnn Hnd Not Pnld Her Shoe Bill ns Piomplty ns Desired The An noyance Caused by the Impertinence of tho Dealer. Pabis, July 4. Miss Allien, a well known New York young lady, was sum moned the other day to appear before a justice of the peace at the instance of Hell stern, the well-knoxn bootmaker. This is only one of the many inconveniences some times imposed upon strangers in Paris by various establishments where bills are not paid to the moment. The prominence of Miss Allien in tbe social world makes this unfortunate experience with French shopkeepers of all the more inter est to the public, especially Americans abroad. Miss Allien for a month past and perhaps more had bought and promptly paid for boots and shoes from the Hellstern establishment. In this instance, however, the order was for a sister of the lady, who had gone for a fortnight to London, and the boots bad been delivered without a bill Some days afterward the account was pre sented during the absence of Miss Allien. LSeveral times during the same dav the ac count was sent in, and finally a note saying that unless a postoffiee order was imme diately forwarded M. Hellstern would send for the police. Miss Allien, naturally frightened at this unwarranted attack, went at once to the bootmaker and asked what he meant by such impertinence. The nngallant boot maker replied, "You have said I am mbst impertinent. I want my money." Miss Allien then s.iid: "I will send yo'u a check to-day." On Saturday nieht Miss Allien mailed a check to Hellstern by post, but on Sunday morning she received a summons to court. She consulted Consul General Rath bone, who sent a representative to the court on Tuesday at the appointed hour 3:30 o'clock. Miss Allien relates a most amusing experience in a court of a Justice of the Peace. She says: "I sat from 12-30 till 1:45 in a miscellaneous crowd with my maid, aud heard a lot of prominent names called out, from Mme. La Dnchesseto Mme. La Comtesse, then M. Papillon, nnd finally my own was railed last, after waiting all this time for my tnrn. The son of Hellstern, who sat near me all the time, came coolly up and said, 'The case is called off. as you have paid the bill.' I re plied: 'I do not wish it cancelled. I want yonr impertinence settled.' 'Very well,' sneered the young man. 'Good morning, mademoiselle. If it pleases you to wait, do so. " Miss Allien asked the clerk of tbe court why she had not been notified before that tbe case was finished and why she had been kept waiting. The clerk said: "If the young man had been a gentleman he would have told you at once and you wonld not have been sj inconvenienced." OTO FLAG IS PARIS. American Art Students In Paris Jollify Over President Harrison's GUt. Paeis, July 4. The American art stu dents to-day received the flag which was sent to the association by President Harri son. Mr. Reid, the United States Minister, made the presentation. Mr. Anderson, President of the associa tion, delivered an oration, and Mr. Reid and General Pouter replied. There were 650 guests present. Rain pre vented the cermony from being held in the gardens so it was transferred to the associa tion's rooms. The rooms were too small and were much overcrowded. Mr. Anderson expressed the students' sense of Mr. Reid's kindness m presenting with his own hands a flag which recalled them to their country, and he charged Mr. Reid to transmit the students' thanks to the generous donor of the flag. Luncheon was served and after ward a concert was held. COMPLAINTS OF THE CHRISTIANS. The Armenian Pntrlnrch Petitions the Saltan for Kcllef. Constantinople, July 4.

United States minister Phelps Deliver a Patriotic Address at the Banquet Open Air Concert by tbe Second Heiment Band nail Colombia the Favorite. Berlin, July 4. The Independent New York Shooting Corps gave a concert on the balcony of the Kaiserhof Hotel this morning. The concert began at 9 o'clock and lasted two hours. The corps was assisted by the band of the Second Regiment of Guards. Many ladies of the American colony were present The programme in cluded "Hail Columbia," "Die Wacht an Rbein" and "Heil dirim Stegerkranz." The American riflemen eave a brilliant banquet at the Kaiserhof. Mr. "Weber pre sided. Among the guests were United States Minister Phelps and wife, "Walter Danirosch and wife, ex-Comptroller John Jay Knox, Rev. Dr. Stuckcnburg, pastor of the American Church, and wife; the leading American residents, aud a number of noted German marksmen. Mr. Phelp, speaking to the toast to Presi dent Hair, son, said: America's great danger arose from her im mense material prosperity. President Harrison ruled the richest and strongest nation on tbe globe. From his lofty station he saw more clearly than any one else the full sweep of this incredible prosperity. He was neither dazzled nor shaken. He kept his poise, rugged and firm as Washington, shunning the temjtine path of popularity, keeping tue Puritan sim plicity of our fathers' days, and having no aspiration except to show that the man was crcater than his surroundings that character was greater than success. Referring to estimates that $250,000,000 was spent by Americans yearly while travelling in Europe, ho said that although nothing the Custom House cm show was a return reward, yet there was a certain reward in the ampler kuowledge and experience gained, which iheso Americans turn to use. "Any one of them," he said, ''Can learn enough in Germany alone to pay his part of these millions." Kext alluding to the American home life as the sweetest and purest on earth, the speaker said he thought, however, that the travelers E resent would find that tbe Germans mado ome llfo fuller, taking their families into their pleasures and amusements, and many taking them into their business. Americans insisted on amusing themselves expensively, but Ger mans, if they could not bear Pattl or Strauss, were contented with hearing an open 'air con cert on the "ft ilhelmplatz for "funf pfennige." Travelers looking abonttbem learn of econo mies in pleasure and cheerfulness witti small means. They also learn of the life of art and nature,from which a Our mar. beggar .got nearly as much pleasure as a German prince. Chief Burgomaster Forckenbeck then made a speech, during which he bestowed an encomium on Mr. Bancroft, the historian, formerly United States Minister to Ger many. There were BOO guests at the banquet, in cluding Herr Barth and other members of the Reichstag. The banquet hall was decorated with German and American flags. THE GREAT ENGLISH GAS TBTJST Involved In a Dispute With the Americans Intrrestrd. BT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.l London, July 4. As already announced, a syndicate of American capitalists and English bankers has been formed here to buy gas works in the principal American cities. This amounts to the formation of a cigantfe gas trust, with a capital of 2,000,000. The ISnglish capital ists and the lately organized American Gas Combination, with a capital of $50,000,000, will jointly operate this trust. It is announced that tbe shares are about to be offered in London for public subscription. This has led to the disclosure ot a previous agreement between tbe president of one of the leading American gas companies and some of the strongest London houses, and also that the latter charge the Americans with bad faith and breach ot agreement of a serioui nature. If Sir Julian Goldsmit fails to obtain the support of the leading houses for the new combination, tbe original contracting par ties threaten proceedings for damages. Cablegrams have been sent to America bv the advice of a prominent London legal firm requiring an explanation. A MOHSTJEE PETITIOIT. Newfoundlanders Ask Pnrllnment to Kern cdy Tbclr Flshlns Grlevnnces. London, July 4. Mr. Brice presented in the House a petition from 15,000 inhabit ants of Newfoundland asking Parliament to remedy the grievances of Newfoundland fishermen. Mr. Verney asked whether the government recognized the alleged treaty rights of the French lobsters and to estab lish lobster fisheries in Newfoundland. Sir James Fergusson, Under Foreign Secre tary, said tbe government did not recognize such rights. Replying to Mr. Schwann's question as to whether the government had received news of Russian troops moving toward the Ar menian Irontier to compel payment of the Turkish war indemnity, Sir James Fergusson said be conid not corroborate the report. EXCLUDING THE CHINESE. The Russian Government Taking a Hand In Keeping Out the Mongolians. St. Petersburg, July 4. The Russian Government, in order to counteract the plans of China to make Manchnria an outpost against Russia by building railways and fortresses in that territory and by an exten sive colonization scheme, has decided to hasten the construction of the Siberian railway and to strengthen the garrisons in the Amur and Usnri provinces. The Government will also establish col onies throughout these provinces, and no Chinese will be permitted to settle in the territory.

BABY BENNY M'EEE TAKES A BATH Eat His August Grandson Seems Afraid'of the Water. to 09 MORE OP FLAGS THAN FIRECRACKERS. The First Lady of the Land Opposed to a Holsy Demonstration. The President and various members of his fain,ily, old and young, whiled away the Fourth quietly at Cape May Point Mrs. Harrison requested that there be no noisy celebration, and her wishes were respected. rSriCIAT, TKLEOUAM TO Till DISrATCH.l Cape May Point, N. J., July 4. Cape May Point on the Glorious Fourth is not so radically different from Cape May Point on the inglorious 3d or 5th as to cause any alarm in the couniry at large as to the safety of the President and the various members and departments of bis household. Everything went on in its accustomed groove, the only ciflerence being thft the groove was widened to admit of theslidinc it of one person more, and Mr. Harrison slid with all the grace possible to a little man and with all the dig nity properly appertaining to a pater fa milias and a grandfather, not to mention that of the President of the 43 United States. So early as 5 o'clock in the morning the sliding process began in the lower regions of that portion of the house consigned to the care and dictatorship of Ferguson, the butler. Ferguson is an entirely capable coloVed youth who has a strict regard to the proprieties, and it was undoubtedly due in a greater or lese degree to his influence that the President's chimney was the first in the town to awaffe to the responsibilities of its position and sent forth the regulation stream of black smoke. AS AN ORNAMENT. "With the day thus barely begunx all the rest followed in due order and as a matter of course. Throughout the greater part of the morning thePresident graced the upper front pjazza of the cottage by his august pres ence, being aided in his arduons task of or namentation by tbe ladies of the family and Dr. Scott. The veranda is-such a pleas ant resting place that it is used as a sort of auxiliary sitting room. In order that tbe publicity of the place may be a little less annoying, a wide bamboo shade has been hhng directly in front. Al most behind this the President sat with the old members of the family grouped aronnd him in chairs and hammocks. Tbey sat there not so much to see as to endeavor to find tbe alleged coolness of tbe seashore. For the morning was close and warm, so warm that Fourth of July exhibitions were reduced to mildest typeand relegated chiefly to the realm presided over by the small boy's sister. Firecrackers were rife and torpedoes were not unknown. Flairs were everywhere and the rockets and candles waited tor darkness to show forth their true inwardness. PREVALENCE OF THE FLAG. By the way, a flag is a safe and conveni ent way of showing one's patriotism. It hurts no one's throat, it burns no one's fingers, it betrays no one's opinions on the silver coinage or the pension arrearage acts, and it shows a becoming interest in national affairs in general. The flag was universally adopted as a sign of Cape Mav Point's ap preciation of the day. Even the small boy condescended to wear it in his buttonhole or his hat. Toward noon the Harrison household went bathing. That is to say, the youncer mem bers so indulged themselves. Mrs. McKee, in spite of her apparent delicacv, is a per sistent bather and is in tbe water almost every day. Of course tbe ubiquitious baby follows suit. It takes as a general thing about two peo ple to assist that young gentleman iu get ting a bath entirely to his own satisfaction. He is very particular about his movements, and succeeds in making his wishes suffi ciently known and obeyed. The President and 'Mrs. Harrison had not ventured into the surf, but watched the bathers from the boardwalk, the President, looking as medi tative as though considering the possible good citizenship ot the Mormon brethren. The early part of the afternoon was spent in peace and quiet in tne utter seclusion of the house, and not until 4 o'clock did Bill Turner appear on the beach drive with Mrs. Harrison's turnout aud take his stand in front of tbe cottage. A HISTORICAL CHARACTER. Bill Turner is getting to be an historical character, but is far from being spoiled by tbe sndden tnrn ol fortune s wheel which added to his dignity as head stableman ot the Cape May Improvement Company the overwhelming honor of holding the reins of the Presidental team. Bill's head is far from being turned, but his back is already bent. Formerly he walked erect, as a free born American citizen. Now his spinal column describes a backward curve in his ende.ivor to walk as becomes the driver of the King in a dress coat. At 4:20 the car riage containing tbe President, Mrs. Har rison, Mrs. McKee and Benjamin Harrison McKee, started down the beach drive to wards Cape May City. The family of General Sewell, in Cape May, received a call from tbe party, and the ride was continued Irom that point. Mrs. Dimmick and Dr. Scott remained at home to hold the fort against all the invasions and Dr. Scott entertained some ministerial friends all on his own ac count. The Doctor's tall, spare, bent figure is becoming a familiar one on the cottage verandas, on the boardwalk and down the sands near the fishermen. The daily draw ing of the nets seems to have an Unusual in terest for him and the fishermen are glad to converse with the venerable old man. This evening he stood on the piazza steps and watched tbe neighboring fireworks, which were few.in number, out of deference to Mrs. Harrison's understood wishes. Crowds of visitors to the point came from all quarters during the day, the greatest crowd arriving on the Republic The Presi dent's cottage was the center of attraction to everyone aud was unanimously voted a model in every respect. Altogether the Fonrth and tbe President were both quiet and unobtrusive, though a decided success. Mr. "Wanamcker is expected to-morrow to help keep the ball moving over Sunday. PAINTING PIKE'S PEAK RED. Novel Celebration at Colorado Springs of the & Nntlon'n Holiday. Colorado Springs, Col., July 4. One ot the most novel exhibitions ever devised for the celebration of the Fourth of July was put in exhibition this evening. The originator of the idea is George "W. Altemus, of Camden, N. J. Two barrels of kerosene and one red fire were taken up to tbe summit of Pike's PeaK with great effort yesterday, together with a large supply of rockets and other fireworks. To-night at 8:30 a bonfire was built on the Oiland Powder and the peak is brilliantly illuminated. The mountain has all the appearance of an enormous volcano vomiting forth im mense columns of fire, and rockets shooting in all directions add to tbe effect. The illumination can be seen for 100 miles in all directions. Bad a Bony Day. The people about tbe CentralWtion were unusually busy yesterday. From noon to midnight about 20 runs had been made by tbe patrol wagon, and 37 cases of disorderly conduct and drunkenness landed in the station. Some of the unfortunates were from neighboring boroughs, but the majori ty come from the city, many of them old of- lenders, THE TRIPLE TRAGEDY. EFFORTS TO FIND THE BODY OF WEND LAND FRUITLESS. Tho- Sad Story or tbe Poverty-stricken Suicides Evokes Great Sympalbr They Left Berlin lo Order to Avoid Social Oatrnclsm. tErXCIAL TXT.XQBAK TO TBI DISPATCH.! New York, July 4. The body of Franz "Wendlandi, the young poet and musician who is supposed to have jumped into the North river with his wife and child on "Wednesday night, has not been found. The bodies of Mrs. "Wendlandt and her child, which were found in the river on Thursday morning, were prepared for burial at Crane's morgue. Several men who were touched by the story of the "Wend landts' fight against poverty sDent the day going around with subscription lists collecting money to pay tbe expense of a proper bnrial for Mrs. "Wendlandt and her child. They collected about 5160 and took it to the morgue keeper, Crane, who is an undertaker. He refused to take it. He said he would see that tbe bodies were buried, and he asked that the money be spent to purchase a tombstone to rest at the head of the grave. Some of the letters and papers that were found by Police Sergeant Rathjen in the "Wendlandt apartments were examined to day and from them it was learned that "Wendlandt's father is a manufacturer of cigars in Berlin. He is an officer in a mili tary organization in that city. Young "Wendlandt was an officer in the same or ganization, and he had a two-years' fur lough which would not expire for several months. All the papers will be examined and translated, and it is expected that tbey will tell much about the young man and his family connections aud whether he came to this country, as is supposed, to avoid social ostracism lor having married a woman below his social rank. Pastor Freund, who befriended "Wendlandt with money several times, and who will have charge of the funeral of the wife and child on Jlonday, toid a reporter to-night that no word whatever had been sent to "Wendlandt's parents concerning the snicide. He thought it unnecessary, he said, because they surely would read an account of it in the papers. Landlord Kaiser, in whose house Wend landt apartments were, said that no one had visited the apartments since he locked them up on Thursday, and he did not intend that anvbody should until the police told him what he should do with the furniture. He has in his possession a lot of papers which "Wendlandt, in a letter, asked him to de stroy. He refused to allow any one to see them. County Physician Convers will probably view the body of Mrs. Wendlandt and her cuild this morning and will grant a permit for their burial. It is not likely that an inquest will be held. The bodies oftwo drowned men were taken ont of the river to-dav near where Mrs. "Wendlandt's body was 'found. Neither of them bore any resemblance to "Wendlandt. HORSEFLESH AS FOOD. It Resemble Ball Deef and Tastes Some thine IAUf n pare. From the Nineteenth Century. Physically horse beef may be distin guished from beef or mutton by its appear ance. It is coarser in the grain than beef. In this respect it resembles bull beef more than any other. It is darker in color and looks more moist than beef. It has a peculiar smell aud a pe culiar sweetness of taste. Its flavor is trenerallv considered to be half way be tween the flavors of beef and game. It is something like the flavor of hare. One rea son why horseflesh is, as a rule, darker in color than beef, is that horses which are pole-axed or which have died from injury, disease, or old age, are not properly bled and dressed by tbe slaughterer. It is, how ever, by its fat that horseflesh is most easily distinguished. The tat of horseflesh is not generally mixed with the lein. It is yellow in color. It looks more moist than the fat of beef. It soon melts and soon becomes rancid. Con sequently, unless a rapid sale is effected or the fat removed, an advanced price must be charged iu order to secure the butcher from loss on unsoiled meat. Lastly, horse flesh can be distinguished from beef by its chemical characteristics, and it is in this way that it may be recognized when mixed with other substances. Who can tell, ex cept the chemist, what are the component parts of a sausage, polony or saveloy? Or who can tell by taste what these parts are? We do not judge by taste: we judge by flavor, and in the making ot flavor to use Sam Weller's phrase "It's the seasoning as does it." PE0FITS OF THE EACES. Biff Money Mode by the Managers of tbe Noted Tracks. New York World. J 'The recent meeting at Sheepshead Bay," said John H. Hill, of the St. James, whose opportunities for observing racing phe nomena are usually good, "has given any one who thinks on the subject the oppor tunity to understand why new tracks are established now wherever there is a fair chance of securing satisfactory entries for them. "To get at an approximation of the profiU of the Coney Island Jockey Club for this meeting take the average daily pay at tendance of 9,000 and multiplv it by ?1 50 that gives you $13,800; 80 book makers at $100' each nets you $8,000 more, or a total of $21, 600 per day, which, multiplied by four teen days, produces a grand total ot $301, 000. But the expenses, you say! Certainly, the expenses are supposed to be, and prob ably are, paid lor out ot tne entrance lees. Given a track that can command good en tries and it is sure to command a paying at tendance. No wo nder new tracks are popu lar investments. 0LD-FASHI0HED KEW Y0EKEBS. A Few A Bed Men Who Still Cling to tbe Styles of Lone Aeo. New York World.l -Old-fashioned habits cling to a few New Yorkers. The man with long boots is still to be seen now and then in business or pro fessional circles. Haifa dozen well-known New Yorkers still wear low-cnt frock coats by daylight. Clarence Seward eschews ele vators. The late John Fitch, a courtly old gentleman, the descendant of Revolutionary heroes, used to walk down town every morn ing arrayed in conventional evening dress, and thisj too. almost up to his death, which occurred only last year. Gruff old General Itipley, who fired the fir3t shot at Sumter, and died not long ago in this citv. alwavs wore an antiquated beaver hat shaped like the modern Derby. It was probably the only head-covering of its pattern in town. TUR5ED THE HOSE ON THE FLAG. An Insnlt to Onr Bnnner by the Firemen In Toronto Toronto Erenlnir Neirs.l People who walked along King street east in the neighborhood of St. Lawrence Market yesterday were somewhat surprised at tbe nature ot the decorations with which some members of the Emerald Society- bad adorned the front ot their, hall in the north east corner of the market lir.ilding. Among all the bunting and flags displayed was not one Canadian or British emblem, but the Stars and Stripes plaved a prominent part. To-day not an American flag is tbere. As is the custom, some of the firemen turned out this morning to wash out the market, and they also washed down one side and the front of tbe building. They turned the hose on the front of the hall occupied by the Emeralds, and washed down every American flag displayed. s ' Georgia has plenty of room for immi grants.

THE SITE FOR THE WORLD'S FAIE Recommended by tha Commission Quits Likely to be Changed, AFTEE EEAL ESTATE MEN SELL OUT. Dissatisfaction Orcr tbe Flan for Keeping the Ex hibits ipart. The "World's Columbian Exposition may be held on tne sites recommended by the commission, but there is a strong suspicion that such will not be the case. It is claimed that the apparent selection of Jackson Park is for the benefit of speculators. ISTFCTAr. TXLXOItAM TO TUB DtSrATOIT. t Chicago, July 4. It is surprising how much dissatisfaction there is among people who are interested in the Columbian Expo sition over the selection of a site. The Lake Front and Jackson Parb separated from each other by about eight miles bava been formally recommended by the local directory, and the National Commission has, in a certain sense, adopted these two parks as the site. Yet, it by no means fol lows that tbe Exposition will be held at either place. Tbere are serious legal obstacles to be overcome before either piece of ground can be appropriated for this use, and there aro plenty ot citizens ready to go into court in opposition to the erection of buildings on either. Indeed, a bill has already been filed to prevent the use ot the Lake Front. A RAILROAD ATTITUDE. Then, assuming that these difficulties are overcome, it will be necessary to make art arrangement with the Illinois Central Kail road Companv, whose track runs throuzh the Lake Front Park, bv which the limits of the park cm be extended by filling in the lake. The shrewd managers of that company have already indicated that they will surrender nothing unless they receive more than an equivalent, and, in the crowded condition of the Chicago courts it will be impossible to force them by law, in season to be ready for the ex position in 1893. In view of all the facts there is still more than a mere possibility that the fair may he held wholly at Jackson Park which con tains over 600 acres, or may go to the site of one mile square on thejprairie near Pullman, which has been unconditionally offered by George M. Pullman, or that it may go to the "West Side, where it will be geograph ically nearer the centre of the city than at any other point. SCHEMERS AT WORK. A gentleman who, though not a commis sioner, has attended many of tbe meetings of tbe commissioners, and who is thoroughly well informed, gave the following interest ing explanation of this case. 'The direct ors, many of them, and many of tbe largest stockholders, are either Southside people or haye invested in Sonthside property, on the supposition that the fair wonld be located at Jackson Park, and with the expectation of making a big profit on their investments. I believe that if the real facts were known, it would appear that the action of the commission was designed to allow some of these parlies to "nedge" on their investments by selling out and investing in West Side property as soon as they see that Jackson Park and the lake front site are impracticable. If Jackson Park bad been rejected, a number of the best friends of the Exposition would have lost money on their real estate in that vicinity. "The apparent selection of Jackson Park will enable them to unload at at least as good figures as they paid and buy else where." BETOir-KAEE'S EXPEDITION. He Discovers a Pass Across tho Mountains to tho Allsrhk Rirrr. Victoria, B. C, July 4. The expedi tion which Lieutenant Setou-Karr took north with him to Chilcat in order to dis cover a pass across tbe mountain ranges from Chilcat to the Altsehk river, has re turned to the coast, having successfully car ried out bis plans, and with less delay and shorter spjee of time than had been antici pated. After an absence of a little over two months Lieutenant Setou-Karr is now in Vancouver, having come down on the Queen ot the .f acme from bitka. From Kiowan, the last Indian camp, 30 miles up the Chilcat river, Lieutenant Se-ton-Karr ascended In the first instance on, foot and subsequently with canoes as far as the Klaheena, or tbe Wellesly river. Thence partly by canoe and partly with sledge he went as tar as the national boundary, which was marked approximately. The ascent was continued to the marble glacier, where tha party was detained by the weather. Four milet beyond the new pass a creek was found running into the Altsebk. The latter is re ported as a large river, running iu from tbo AVest from behind St. Elias, with a slow, deeD current. Another branch comes la from the north. Below the forks is a canyon which canoes cannot pass, and below tha canyon the river is excessively rapid. As far as the mouth of the river at Dry Bay, bear, goats and grouse are numerous. The return trip was hazardous. THE T0TOTH IK CAMP. Practical Wont of the Irish Military Organ Izillons at Moylan Philadelphia, July 4. The Irish mil itary organizations at Camp Moylan started in yesterday for their practical work. They began it early in the morning and kept itnp until late at night. About 4 o'clock in the morning Company A of the Irish volunteers of New York arrived in command of John Trollope, and the Lafayette Guards, of tha same city, in charge of Commander A. Crosse. They are nearly all Frenchmen. Captain "William Hynes, a delegate from the Parnell Guards, o'i Elizabeth, N. T., and Colonel Weldrick, of New York, also reached the c.imD in the morning. At 3 o'clock there was a company drill and at S a guard mount. From an early hour tha greatest activity prevailed throughout tha camp. General Kelly and Colonel James Murphy gave orders in the morning that the general orders would have to be carried out under penalty of punishment. At 2 o'clock tha Declaration of Independence was read by Inspector James B. Murphv. at the con clusion ot which guards were detailed around the park. At 2 o'clock tbere were a number of orations. The first was that of Justice F. Wilhere, National delegate of tbe Ancient Order of Hibernians. Mr. "Wilhere was followed by P. J. Tvnan, of New York. At the close of Mr. Tynan's address John O'Callagan presented the First Begiment, Hibernian Bifles, with two beautifnl silk flairs. A number of athletic games then took place. At 6 in the even ing there was a dress parade. At 8 there was a grand display ot fireworks. DE- WYLIE'S JEWELEY. A Sneak Thief Glres It to Sadie Samuels vrho Is Sent lo Jail.
