THE DAILT D01XGS OF TOCTEIXL EOTAITt
psr GAEL'S TO THE DISPATCH.
LONDON, July 25. Copyrighted. The
visit of the Trench lleet to Cronstadt is
lveeping the Russian press cenor very busy.
That officer's work is hard enough ia normal
tunes, hut it is now augmented by the
supervision of all telegraphic dispatches
sent by special correspondents and other
chroniclers of the demonstration now in
progress. He has eien endeavored with
Fome success to get hold of the matter sent
by ruil, so that pretty well everything
that bus been published may be considered
officially stamped. It is not surprising,
therefore, to real that the French officers
have been received at Cronstadt and St.
1'etersburg with unbouuded enthusiasm by
the people and that their visit is intended
to prove to the world in general and Ger
many in particular how cordial is the
friendship existing between autocratic
Russia and democratic France.
The True Sido Revealed.
But letters rect,ived,in London previous to
the arrival of the French squadron afford
good ground for stating that the measure of
the Russian people's enthusiasm has been
carefully regulated by the Government, and
that there is not a particle of spontaneity in
it The governing classes in both countries
are doubtless anxious enough for an alli
ance, but the two peoples are utterly Indif
ferent upon the subject. That is the view
taken of this demonstration by the investi
gators, who do not search for the truth en
tirely on the surface.
Some apprehension, but more curiosity, is
felt as to the character of the speeoh which
the Czar is expected to make on Tuesday,
when he will entertain the French officer
at a banquet. So far the Czar has been com
raendably prudent. Of bis own initiative
he ordered the toast list at all publio enter
tainments to visitors to be strictly limited
in number and non-contentious in character.
The Russian orators were ordered to submit
their speeches beforehand to a special officer
appointed for the purpose, and a hint was
conveyed to the French Admiral respecting
the desirableness of avoiding a reference to
the triple alliance.
Anxious for the Czar's Speech.
Europe fears that the Czar will not im
pose such a restraint upon himself and that
on Tuesday he will say something calcu
lated to flatter the bourses and to make the
rival Kaisers and King look nervously to
the buckles of their sword belts. These
fears are not withe at warrant, seeing that
despite the Czar's prudence hitherto as to
speech, some Russian newspapers have been
allowed to publish editorials at this moment
breathing defiance to the triple alliance,
red that the Czar has allowed the Russian
vir to be "polluted" by a strain of the
"llarbcillaise."
The real fact i believed to be that the
Czar is personally averse to an alliance
with republican France, but that he has
Ven induced to play the coquette because
French diplomacy can be of immense serv
ice to Russia in the BalLans and at Con
stantinople. On Tuesday it is probable
that he will say some pretty things about
France, and will follow them with the cus
tomary platitudes about his desire for
peace.

remarkably intelligent lad. Just before
starting on his Russian trip he was exam

rBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.J
London, July 25. The capture of "Wis
bech, adi vision of Cambridgeshire, from the
Tories, is one of the most notable of a series
of Liberal triumphs since 18S6. The
Liberals entered into the contest with little
more hope than that they wonld considera
bly reduce the majority of 1,087 by which
the Tories won the seat at the last general
election. But they have wiped that major
ity entirely ont and put in their man by a
majority of 260. The result has almost
stupified the Tories, who were confident up
to the last moment of keeping the seat.
They had everything in their favor except a
a good cause. Their candidate was a strong
local man, and the polling took place at a
period ol the year when the agricultural
laborers are busy getting in the hay ban est.
The Tories relied greatly upon the hay,
and prayed unceasingly that the polling
dav would be blessed with fine weather so
that the laborers, who are almost all good
Liberals, would have something better to do
than worry their heads about elections.
Great, therefore, was the Liberal joy when
Thursday opened with delightfully ominous
clouds, which ere long burst into a delicious
downpour, making hnv-making impossible.
The Liberal agent, Nash, positively rev
eled in the rain, walked about in it bare
headed to show how he loved it. "While
the rain lasted three-fourths of the laborers
voted for the Liberal candidate. The sun
shine came in the afternoon, but it could
not cancel the votes which its tardy arrival
had allowed to be recorded.

London, July 25. The stock market to
day was dull and lifeless, scarcely any busi

quotations, but American railways were
generally weak. There were no bullion
operations at the bank to-day. Portuguese
bonds are still offered for sale. Admiration
must be expressed lor the masterly way in
which the New York silver market
Is being worked in the interest of European
finances. Portugal requires between 7,000,
000 and 6,000,000 ounces of silver, and
the loan to provide for it has already been
contracted for. The silver is "being pro
cured and coined as rapidly as possible and
considerable ingenuity has been displayed
in doing this without advancing the price
of the metal. In the first place exports to
India have been stopped by holding the
London price at about one-half penny an
ounce above the price of the Exchange so
that remitters to India have been forced to
buy consol drafts at 4 per cent rupee paper
instead of silver.
All arrivals of silver have been quietly
picked up and this supply running out sil
ver must now be taken from America. In
doing this great care must be exercised and
the bankers will employ every device to
secure what is wanted without disturbing
the New York market. Exports will be
made if possible without disturbing the
stocs; in the Mercantile Safe Deposit Com

taken to embrace every opportunity to de

Bubltncton, Ia., July 25. A melo

of the train in .the city last

morning, intending to come to Burlington
on a visit
It grew worse and died about noon. Fear

hours while the train speeded northward.
"With remarkable fortitude the grief
stricken woman restrained her emotions
and no one on the train but her sorrowing
husband knew of the occurrence. Upon ar

Washington, .July 25. Granting that
Bishop Kain is right in his attack upon In
dian Commissioner Morgan from the stand
point of the Church, it must be admitted
that as a question of policy he is pursuing a
course that has been abandoned by his con
ferees in this locality. The attacks on Mor
gan never had the sanction of Cardinal Gib
bons. They were begun without his
knowledge, and the damage had been done
before he had a chance to take a hand in it.
The whole row is the result of bad temper
and bad judgment on the part of some of
the local priests, and in saying this
I have before me the testimony to that ef
fect from others of the local clergy who ut
terly disagreed with their associates in the
Catholic Indian Bureau, which has had
charge of the Catholio Indian schools, and,
quite as important, of the contracts for fur
nishing the supplies.
The trouble began with a clerk in the
Indian Bureau. Soon after the advent of
Mr. Morgan it was discovered that this
clerk, a Catholio, but nevertheless a busy
bodv, was carrying news from the Bureau
to the Catholio Indian Bureau, derogatory
to the management of the former in its rela
tion to the Catholic schools. In many cases
his statements were proved to be absolute
falsehoods. Persisting in this he was dis
missed, and as if to provoke the lesult that
came to pass, the Catholio Bureau employed
him and he proceeded to villify Mr. Mor
gan and the whole management of the
Indian Bureau.
Morgan Enters a Protest.
Mr. Morgan protested against this, and
the Catholic Bureau promised that tho. ob
jectionable individual should be dismissed,
but he is retained to this day, and, though
modest enough now, has been one of the
most impudent persons who ever had the
run of the departments, going personally to
the Secretary and the Second Controller
of the Treasury and making the most pre
posterous and impudent demands in the in
terests of the Catholics, and growing in
sulting if his demands were not complied
with. "Whether the Catholio Bureau had
knowledge of his conduct in this respect I
cannot say, but the fact remains that he is
still in the employ of the Catholic Bureau
after much of his foolish and disastrous
work has come to the knowledge of that in
stitution. Mr. Morgan has been greatly misrepre
sented in this affair. He is not at all af
flicted with popophobia. He is not an anti
Catholio bigot, as Bishop Kain asserts, and
he did not start out as soon as he was in
stalled in office to abolish the Catholio
schools. He recognized the good accom
plished by the schools of both the Catholic
and Protestant missions. He never has en
couraged the dismissal of a single teacher
on account of his or her religion, and I can
not establish the fact that any teacher has
been dismissed for such a reason.
Well, then, what is all the row about?
It is just this:
How the Trouble Originated.
Mr. Morgan discovered when he came
here that both Protestants and Catholics
had fat contracts with the Government for
the furnishing of supplies to these schools.
He believed that, as the Indians were the
wards of the Government, the Government
should sec to and control their education.
He objected to a system that not only made
the Government pay for the religious and
denominational education of the Indian
children, but which enabled the bureaus
having charge of the schools to make scores,
if not hundreds. of thousands of dollars,
every year out of the contracts for sup
plies. "While secular branches were taught in
the schools, the main purpose of all of the
schools, Protestant and Catholic, was to im
press on the children that the only proper
and decent way to go to heaven was by way
of the denomination under whoso charge
they were. They were even taught that the
Government that supported them was a
Godless Government, and not fit to super
vise their education.
Mr. Morgan did not put his wits to work
to abolish the denominational schools, but
did begin to multiply the purely Govern
ment and secular schools rapidly. As fast
as the Government schools afforded conveni
ences for the Indian children contracts for
the religious schools of the same locality
were rejected. No embargo was put on re
ligious teaching. The Commissioner merely
said that secular education was furnished by
the Government. If the churches desired to
tench their peculiar doctrines to the chil
dren, they must do it at their own expense,
and make no more fat profits out of the Gov
ernment.
Ko Partiality Woa Shown.
No distinction is made as to denomina
tion. Catholio and Protestant are treated
exactly alike. The Commissioner expects
within a year or two to have the system of
Government schools so general as to make
the support of the denominational schools
unnecessary on the part of the Government,
and certainly this is a consummation that
will be welcomed by all who believe in the
common school system of the States, and
that boys and girls should be permitted to
grow up with a secular education that will
enable them to reason out the religious
problem to their own satisfaction.
Mr. Morgan has already decided to ignore
the bureaus of the denominations that have
been making a fat thing out of Government
contracts. He now deals directly with the
schools. This of itself will effect a great
saving. It is now a matter of business to
make the contract and not of influence on
the one hand to get as much out of the
Government as possible. A number of con
tracts have been made with the schools
since the first of July, but not a single one
for the next fiscal year with the bureaus of
the churches; and this plan is said to be
much more satisfactory than the other.
Seventy Contracts in Force.
I have been able to trace about 70 con
tracts with the church bureaus which are
still valid, but which will soon expire,
nearly all of them about the middle or the
month of August Upward of 50 of these
are with the Catholic Indian Bureau, and
the remainder are distributed among other
denominations. The Catholio schools are
the most profitable, as they have the most
numerous attendance. They average about
75 pupils to the school, and for each pupil
they are paid $27 50 per quarter, r $110
for the year, three months of which is spent
by the children at their homes, thus render
ing outlay for their maintenance unneces
sary for that period. From this sum the
children are clothed for the year and fed
and housed for nine months, and the teach
ers are also paid from it. But an Indian
child is maintained with little expense, and'
the teachers give their services for almost
nothing in the interests of their respective
denominations. " Thus a great profit is made for the
churches interested. It is estimated that
the Catholic Indian Bureau made a clear
profit last year out of the schools of at least
H75.000, and it wa3 not as good a year as
some former ones. No wonder the churches
are anxious to hang on to. such a "soft
snap."
In the aggregate millions of dollars have
been poured in the treasuries of these
churches in profits that should have gone to
the establishment of Government schools,
which could havo been operated for the
more cost of maintaining teachers and chil
dren. Church influence has prevented this
and perpetuated the costly system of con
tracts. A Close Watch on Finances.
These profits havo been devoted to the
building up of the institutions of the
churches. The Catholio Indian Bureau has
been verv business-like in their management
of the financial affairs of the schools. It
had its agent, who haunted tho Treasury
Department, and the moment an account
was known to bo in the hands of
the auditor, pressure would be brought to
bear to have it advanced ahead of all other
accounts, that the bureau might gather in
the shekels. From the auditor the account
would be followed tip until it reached the
final accounting officer, and there again it
would be advanced probably as in the other
cases by order of tho Secretory. It is as
serted that Secretary "Windom never re
fused to order his subordinates to adance
one of these accounts at the request of the
agent of the Catholic Bureau.
Moreover, letters would be boldly written
to the Secretary, telling him that certain
institutions were "hard up," and that if he
could do anything to hurry the settlement
of the accounts of the Catholio sohools his
action would be gratefully remembered.
Letters are on file at the office of the Secre
tary not only from members of the Catholio
Bureau, but from men and women (Miss
Kate Drexel frequently among the latter),
in various parts of the country, urging the
necessities of this or that institution and
begging the hasty consideration of accounts
that otherwise would have taken their
place among the mass of accounts to be
settled.
The history of the profit-making contracts
of the churches with the Government is in
deed a strange one, and one day when it is
written will be almost beyond belief.
E.W.L.
TIPS FOR GOOD HEALTH.
Timely Advice as to What to Do in Warm
Weather How It Is Best to Behave
During Dog Days Some Pertinent Cau
tions. This is the appropriate season to give ad
vice respecting health. In the first place,
some well-approved cholera mixture should
be kept convenient, as the introduction of
green apples and apple dumplings to unac
customed stomachs is causing considerable
cholera morbus. Hot days and oold nights
are also assisting to disorganize stomachs.
As to diet, it is of small consequence. If
a man had the instinct of a dog and could
take a mess of grass when he felt out of sorts
he would never need a doctor, except in case
of accident Eat what you like, if it agree
with your stomach. It you have good sense
and judgment drink whisky, wine or beer
as a medicine, but if you cannot control
your appetite let all alone. If a little weak
in the upper story, shun stimulants as you
would a viper in dog-days. Healthy people
do not need stimulants. Keep your head
cool, your feet warm and bowels open;
eat when you are hungry, but do
not gorge yourself for the mere
pleasure of taste and you will be likely to
nave just as good health in dogdays as at
any other time. Some general directions,
however, sanctioned by the experience of
hoary antiquity may not be out of place
here:
In the first place do not lot your boy go
swimming in dogdays, and as the season,
owing to some peculiarities in the proces
sion of the equinoxes is somewhat uncer
tain, he should be kept out of the water
from July 15 until November 15, and after
that time he is not likely to care much for
outdoor ablutions.
Second Don't hoe early cabbage In dog
days. It will cause them to become infested
with vermin.
Third If bitten by a dog between now
and October 1 be sure and have the dog
killed the first thing, this being more im
portant than the cauterization of the wound.
Finally, after observing all the rules you
ever heard of, make a special effort to keep
your conscience clear and you will be meas
urably happy, provided you bear in mind
that virtue is its only reward, and do not
expect too much from an ungrateful Re

TOUCHING SCENE ON BOARD THE SHIP
Boston, July 23. The steamer Kansas of
the "Warren line arrived from Live-pool
"Wednesday with 243 passengers. Among
them were 29 whose fond hopes of freedom
and dreams of life in America were yester
day trampled under foot
At the office of the State Board of Lunacy
and Charity and at the immigration office it
was learned that the immigrants were de
nied the privilege of landing because they
came under the head of assisted immigrants,
a class which, under the new immigration
laws, is debarred from entering this country.
The immigration laws provide that:
Any person whoso ticket orpassage Ispald
for In file money or another, or who Is assist
ed by another to come. Unless it Is satisfac
torily shown on special investigation that
such person does not belong to any one of
the other excluded classes, shall
not bo allowed to land.
Two of the debarred people are stowa
ways, Christopher "Winslow, aged 15, and
Charles A. O'Brien, aged 22, both of Eng
land. Of the other 27, 13 are English, and
14 are Russian Hebrews.
A Blacksmith's Happiness Blasted.
There was a very touching scene on board
the steamer yesterday when John Armrod,
of Fall River, came to claim his family.
Armrod is a blacksmith and is employed in
Fall River at a salary of 62 a day, and has
been some little time in this country. He
had saved enough to send for his family to
join him. He came from Fall River yester
day, says one of the stewards of the Kan
as, to meet his family and take them to his
home.
"When he found that they could not be
taken from the steamer and would be sent
back to England next Tuesday he almost
went wild with grief. It was a touching
scene, says the steward, to see the husband
and wife locked in each otners" arms, both
crying bitterly. It was hard to think that
for the first time in many years a family had
been united only to be torn apart in a very
few days. The husband and father pleaded
for leniency to his wife and children, but
the commission had to obey the law and his
familv was compelled to remain on board
the snip. Mr. Armrod explained that his
family would not beeome public charges, as
he was earning $2 a dav, and his brother,
who was also earning a salary every week,
agreed to stand by him.
May Go Back to England With Them.
Of the seven children it is claimed that
three have worked in tho cotton mills in
England and could obtain work in Fall
River. Mr. Armrod says tnat it his family
is not allowed to land he will have to give
up his work and return to England with
them.
Another English family on board is the
Miller family, the father, mother and three
children. They were sent for by a son-in-law,
Peter Hammel, a farmer, of Granby,
who says he is perfectly able to take care of
them, but the fact that he paid their pas
sage prevents them from landing.
Of the 14 Russian Hebrews 5 are adults
and 9 are children. Three of the adults are
men, and of these one is a first-class cabinet
maker and the other a carpenter.
The two previous steamers of this line
have also brought over aliens, who were ob
jected to by the authorities and had to re
turn. Last week the Michigan brought 28,
but of thi9 number only 10 went back, and
the others were landed on an appeal to the
Secretary of the Treasury.
The preceding week the Roman carrried
across six who were deemed unfit to become
citizens, by reason of the likelihood of be
coming a public charge.

rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New Yoek, July 23. "When Annie
"Weymann, in the presence of the Rev. C.
G. F. Hass swore that she would be a true
and loyal wife to Albrecht Bauer, she little
thought that when next he heard
her voice it wOnld be to listen to
her renunciation of him forever. Bauef
and Miss "Weymann had - been friends
for two years. He lives with his mother at
282 East Tenth street She lives with her
mother and brother, Dr. G. A. "Weymann,
at 409 East Fifty-seventh street He visited
her "Wednesday, July 23, and they went for
a walk. They went 'to the Rev. Mr. Hiss'
house at 64 Seventh street, and were mar
ried. Then they returned to Mrs. "Wey
mann's house.
Mrs."Weymann was not pleased to learn of
the marriage and said so. She ordered
Bauer to leave the house and invited her
daughter to remain and talk the matter
over. "When Bauer called later in the day
he was told that his wife had no desire to
see him. Believing that she was unjustly
restrained, Bauer instructed Lawyer A. P.
"Wagner to begin habeas corpus proceed
ings. A writ was Obtained from Justice
Barrett, and all the parties were in the Su
premo Court to-day.
In his petition for the writ Bauer de
clared that Mrs. "Weyman had told him he
was not good enough for her daughter, that
he was too poor to maintain a wife, and that
she had promised her daughter's hand to a
richer and more eligible suitor. "When
Bauer saw his wife with her mother and
brother approaching he started toward
them. The young woman retreated be
hind her .mother, and Lawyer "Wagner
restrained his client while he went
to investigate. "Without any prompt
ing Mtb. Bauer said that she did not
know why she had married. She had not
intended doing so and would never live
with Bauer. Nothing could persuade her
to look upon him as her husband. The
lawyer reported to Bauer, and told him
there was no law that conld compel a wife
to live with her husband. Then he withdrew
the writ Bauer, who was very excited,
insisting that he ask the, court
to make the young woman explain
her reasons. Justice Barrett said he
had neither authority nor inclination to put
any such question. The decision unnerved
Bauer completely. He said that Miss "Wey
mann suggested their getting married.

AMUSING EPFOETS OF A PndTOGRAPHEE
Cwnrrrxs job tub dispatch.
I have before me a suggestion taken from
some newspaper to the effect that the writer
should put into print his impressions of
Lincoln's address at Gettysburg. It was my
duty to report the speech on behalf of the
press, to sit at the side of Lincoln as ha
pronounced the immortal words, and writs
them down in shorthand as they came from
his lips. My memory of the event is as
clear as it could hope to be after so many
years. In soma idle, silent hours I hava
gone over the memoranda made at the time.
So far as these may serve I will tell tho
story as it rests with me.
The celebration of Gettysburg took placo
on Thursday, the 19th of November, 1863, a
ittle more than four months alter -tha
amous battle was fought I have not been,
to Gettysburg since. "When I was there tha
traces of the terrible strife were every
where, no gentle summer as yet to cover
the torn fields with tenderness and bloom.
Since then, as I read, it ha been largely
splashed and sprinkled with monuments,
as if any monument could mark Marathon,
or any bewildering labyrinths Or entabla
tures commemorate the Mighty Fact that
found immortality and consecration at Get
tysburg. The Presidontal Party.
"When we reached Gettysburg the rainy -afternoon
settled into a soggy November
night The town was in chaos over the new
invasion, and a corner in a tavern was a
crowning mercy. The Presidental party
came in about sunset, and we were all on
hand to do them honor. They were a strag.
gled, hungry set Lincoln, with that weary
smile which a poet might have read as a
forecast of destiny; Seward, with an essen
tially bad hat; John Hay, in attendanca
upon the President, and much to ba
troubled by the correspondents, handsome
as a peach, the countenance of extreme
fouth; Usher, Secretary of the Interior, if
remember, with heavy, reserved features,
and a capacity for silence; Dennison, of
Ohio, smiling and courteous; gruff Tod,
from Ohio; Pierpont, of Virginia; Mont
gomery Blair, with his face in which fanat
icism was tempered by enthusiasm; John.
"W. Forney, in the flush of his winning
manhood, Secretary of the Senate, and
rather in the lead of the "Washington party.
Lincoln became invisible to us, and could
not be enticed even by serenading parties,
who were bewildering the night with, musio.
Seward was more amenable, and as he came
to the door I recall my trouble in reporting
him. Nothing better than thenote book
and a stone step. Irememberthe impression
it made upon me. "What a voice for tha
Ghost in 'Hamlet,'" my first thought as
the Secretary, speaking fa a slow, artificial,
metallic tone, threw nis sentences lika
clanging oracles into the night
Blending of Seer and Pugilist.
It was on optimistic speech Seward I
should say in a temper; how he had seen it
all; how much better it would have been if
his advice had been taken 40 yeara before:
with a great deal about our distressed and
erring brethren, of whom so many had been.
slain on those hillsides, and what an im
mense country we should have when this
last of all rebellions was suppressed. This
was the blending of the seer with the pugil
ist which those of us who were radical and
impatient with his conservatism saw ia
Seward those days.
I remember that I did as well as I could
with the speech, and was studying my notes
mournfully with a view to transcription,
when Seward's secretary gladdened us with
the news that it had been prepared before
hand and given to the pres3 associations.
Seward's speech done, the crowd must hava
Forney, who spoke with Pennsylvania en
thusiasm. His theme was the war, and es
pecially what Douglas had done to bring
Democratic support to the Union. Tha
proud, gallant Forney! The banner of tha
dead Douglas was in his keeping, and it was
ever unfurled. Curtin came with his party
from Harrisburg. He was our Governor
and a star of the first magnitude, having
just won a notable political victory in his
re-election, and therefore an influence
which these "Washington people might as
well treat with civilitv. The relation!
of Curtin toward the "Washington people
were those of criticism at least. "A good
deal of Cameron about this administration,
and wise politicians, who do not like being
trodden upon, must wait and see." He was
host, streaming, spontaneous in his courte
sies. With him were "Wayne MacVeagh
and a brilliant staff "Wayne, then the ris

Quay Was There Too.
He gave us a rattling good speech at tha
serenade, which "I helped to cheer. "With
him a silent young official named Quay,
silent then as now, but to become the causa
of speech to a considerable extent among
others. I think I was indebted to John
Hay. assuredly to some kind friend, for a
special audience with Edward Everett "We
o? this generation do not realize the spaca
which Edward Everett filled, at least in tha
imagination of the younger men. He was
the embodiment of a noble and stainless
fame. "Webster, Clay, Calhoun gone, he
was the last of the orator". No more great
men left to us, only Everett He had wel
comed Lafayette; "his scholarship wasour
envy and admiration; he had been the friend
of Byron, the guest of "Walter Scott, Minis
ter to England, Secretary of State, and we,
even we, were permitted to see him. "We were
critical, some of us, not always friendly to
theLincolns, the Sewards, the Seymours,
who swarmed around, but here was one who
Itad outlived calumny, misrepresentation,
even fear and hope who had belonged to
the serene days, when patriotism was hand
ia hand with pence one almost in touch,
with the Revolution. He was only one re
move from "Washington, whose glory had
been the theme of his noblest oration. Tha
fame of Everett is now somewhat faded. Ia
the tapestries of our Pantheon the war
colors darken all others with their fiery
splendor; he has gone to be with Madisoa
and Rufus King. But to us at Gettysburg
Everett had an apostolic fame and I know
with what awe one of that company cams
into the presence of the sublimeand venera
ble man.
