Special telegrams io JJradstreet'x indicate that the Central Mis sissippi River Valley, as well as that in Louisiana, has again suffered from rising water, with a consequent check to trade and interference with transporation. Serious damace is threatened from the overflow in the sugar district north of New Orleans. General trade in the region affected by over flows maybe unfavorably affected for a little time to come. The customary slackness of business at this season, is making its appearance in some staple lines. Leather, petroleum, sugar, lumber and rubber are in some better demand, and sugar and rubber will probably adance. Boots and shoes are Jn fair re quest, but hides, tobacco, cigars and grocer ies are quite dull. The depression which has hung over iron and steel tins not been raised, sales of iron having lccn made at the lowest prices of the year at Chicago and at Pittsburg, but re cent industrial troubles of moment are in a fair way to be settled.

Hams nnd doubts regarding the crop and ntlroad prospects are also responsible for hesitation and declines.

Keynotes of NICARAGUA STEAL TO BE IXDORSID Minneapolis, June a The platform in which thi Republican party will present to the country the issues on which it appeals to the voters ior their suffrages in favor of , the standard bearer to be selected by the convention is a subject of earnest consideration among the leaders who have arrived at Minneapolis. Many of them believe the platform as important as the naming of the man to head the ticket On the platform there is substantial unanimity, except to two or three planks. The silver plank is the one which will re ceive the most careful consideration to meet the divergent views prevailing in different sections, and the precise extent to which declaration shall be made relative to Feder al elections is also a matter on which dele gates differ. A number of the most important men now here, including many delegates who here are likely to be chosen to renresent their States on the Committee on Resolu tions, have been consulted by the repre sentatives of the Associated Press, and as a result the principal features of the platform can now be given. Here thev are: Principal Features or tho Platform. The keynote will bo "American" through out, and in everything. Many or tho meas ures ror hich tho Republican party in tbe past has contended were cnactod into law in the Fifty-first Congress, so that all that nowiemains to be done on these questions is to point to tho iccord of achievements since the platform of 1SS8 was adopted as an earnest or the faithfulness with which the Renubltcan party has kept its pledges, and this will bo contrasted with the Demo cratic policy or delnding the country with promises that are never fulfilled. The platform will begin wi:h a geneial recital of tho record of tlio Republican party, and the fact that it has always been in favor of freedom and the protection of the rights and liberties of tho American peoplo at homo and abioad. President Harrison's administration will be indorsed as honest, able and conscien tious, and as having promoted the peace or the country and the prosperity and safetv of its business interests. The firm, dhjnifled and patriotic conduct of foreign lolations by President narrison and Secrotarv Blaine will bo especially commended tor its main tenance of tho rights or the United States and or American citizens, and the vigorous assertion or the piotection of the lite and liberty or Americans everywhere. The de votion of tho Republican party to the prin ciples of protection will bo reaffirmed, and tho McKinley tariff law as a clear enuncia tion of those nrincinles will be indorsed and attention drawn to the fact under it many new industries have been established giving employment to Americap labor. Reciprocity to Get Full Credit. Tho reciprocity section of the Dill will be mentioned as a means whereby tuoro has been an extension of the foreign trade of tbe United States, while at the same time American labor has not been compelled to meet the unequal competition or countries in which labor is oppiessed. The Sprinser liee wool bill will be de nounced as an attempt to destroy an indus try or the American rainier, built up by the wise protective pi 'icy of the Republican Earty, and tho general tariff policy of the 'emocratio House will be assailed as an at tempt by special bills to array differ ent sections and classes against each other, and as another scheme of the Democratic party to accomplish the de struction of the industries ot the country which failed when the people at the polls re buked the last Democratic administration and restored tho Republican party to power. The silver plank is likely to be mole lib eral than that of other conventions, based upon tnouim expectation oi the adminis tration that the appioaohing monetary con Icrcncewill result in such agreements ns will make It possiblo to utilize our cntiio silver product as money. On the subject of Federal elections the right of every American citizen to cast one ballot and have that ballot counted will bo upheld as the greatest safeguard of Repub lican institutions. For Liberal Nnval App-oprlations, Evermindrul or the promotion or the wel fare.and glory of the United States, the ne cessity for the rchabilation of the American merchant marine to its former high placo on the seas will be set forth, nnd the laws passed in aid and encouragement or American shipping will be approved. In this connection attention will be drawn to the progiess which has been made toward the lestoratlon or the American navy, and a continuance of the policy of liberal appro priations for the navy will be advocated with an allusion to the policy of the House in nizgardly naval appropriations. The com pletion or our coast defenses will also be urged as necessary to tbe protection of the country. As a part or the Republican policy or pro motion of home industries, encouragement will bo recommended to ship builders, to tho end that American ships made in Amer ican shipyards, or American material, and manned by American seamen, may once asaln fly tho American flag in every part of tho seas, carrying American manufactures, and protected by an American navy with guns of American manufacture. A caroful supervision ol immigration will be lccominended to prevent undesirable persons landing on cur shores, and approval will bo given to tho exclusion or contract and of Chinese labor as necessary to the protection from degradation or American labor. American homes for Americans and the honest and industrious or other nations who come here to become American citizens will ring in this or in other parts or the platform. Liberal Pensions for Veterans. The party will i ene w its acknowledgment of obligation to the soldiers and sailors who fought for tho Union, and reference will be made to tbe dependent and disabil ity pension Dill by which the party re deemed its pledge to keep from the poor house tbe veterans of the war and their families who had become helplesss through no fault or their own onn. Appropriations will be recommended for all international impiovements necessary to provide easy and cheap facilities for in tercourse between the people. xiie Nicaragua uanai pioject win be in dorsed as a measure which will bind the different sections of the country closer to gether, and aid in the maintenance of our predominance in this hemisphere. Among the measuies of importance to the good of the country which became laws during the Fifty-first Congress there will be enumerated the meat inspection bill, under the provisions of which, seconded by vigorous efforts on the part of Secretary Rusk, tbe administration and the American Ministers abroad, the meats and other products of the United States have now been admitted to tbe countries or Europe, after having been excluded during the supine administration of foreign affaiis bv a Democratic President; the anti-trust bill, to restrain monopolies and combinations of capital; the copyiight bill; .the bill revising the land laws in tho Intel est of actual settlers; the alien lands bill; the private land claims bill, providing ror an adjust ment or disputed land titles which have hindered the progress of States nnd terri tories in the far West; tho customs adminis trative bill, framed to pievent under valua tion and an evasion oi the protective tariff laws: the anti-lottery bill; the bill to pro vide for an exposition to celebiate the lour hundredth anniversary of the discovery or America, ana a long list oi otner important measures. Home Rule Slay Have a Show. Home rule for Ireland may possibly also find a place in the platform. On tbe question of civil service a square, open declaration in favor of it will be one of tho things Incorporated in the platform. The platform will see to it that no charge bo made against the Republicaus as a party in connection with the Bennett school law which in Stato elections has caused many Germans in Illinois and Wisconsin, who aro naturally Republican, to bolt. Tho plank on this subject will be drawn carefully, but in such terms as to show that the party is In favor of personal liberty and against inter ferences with that right. A vigorous effort Is to be made by Chica"0 and those whoaro working with tnem in the World's Fair project to have the conven tion Indorse the giant of Government aid to the Fair. A memorial to the Rennbltcan Vntfonni Committee has been prepared in whioh tho iiidoisoment in the platform of the conven tion is asked lOl tllQ following iirnn.Rrl sir. tocnth amendment to tho Constitution of 1 the United States. "No State shall pass any law respecting an establishment of ie liglon or prohibiting the free exer oise thereof, or" use its property or oredlt, or any money raised by taxation, or authorize, either to be .used for tbe purpose or founding, maintaining or aiding by ap propriation, payment lor services, expenses or otherwise, any church, religious denomi nation or religious society or any institu tion, society or undertaking which is wholly or in part under sectarian or ecclesiastical control. Nothing Sectarian About 1. Tho memoilalsets forth that this amend ment hns been Introduced into tho Fifty second Congress in both Houses, and is sub stantially in accord with a similar one pro posed in 1876, by President Grant, introduced by Mr. Blaine, passed in the House by an ovoi whelming vote, Dy a majority o: ro toio, lacking few votes ot the necessay two-thirds. This same pioposition as indorsed by both the Democratic nnd Republican conven tions of lb7C, by 21 State conventions, and has received tho autographic approval of over 250,000 prominent citizens in all paits ot the country, 90 patriotlo organizations, with a membership of 1.500,000 voters, and a number of leligious bodies. The pioposition has no sectarian tinge; it includes among its most active sup porters Charles P. Dailey, ex-Chief Justice of theSupiome Court of New York, a piomi. nent Catholic layman; Rabbi Goctheid and John Jay, who is President. THE BLAINE1TES' PLATFORM. General Alger's Following Get Oat a Rlalnc-Alger Circular Eight Strons Seasons Why Harrison Shouldn't Be Preferred to Ills I'rlmo Minister Now. BY ASSOCIATED PKISS.l Minneapolis, June 3. Thr.t General Aleer is at heart for Blaine, and that his own State delegation is now ior Blaine ior the Presidency and Alger for the Vice Presidency, no one any longer doubts. If there had been any skepticism upon this point it was removed to-night by the dis tribution of a circular from the Michigan headquarters bearing the portraits of Blaine and Harrison, and reading as follows: TJSDER THE OAKS AT .JACKSOH. Fiomont and Dayton, 1S36. Blaine and Alger, Minneapolis, 1892. The Republican party and the peoplo de mand the nomination of Blaine: Because he commands the confidence and admiration of our entire population in a greater degree than does any other living American to-day. Because the cardinal principles of tho Republican partv "Reciprocity," which he originated, and "Protection," the nnvielding champion of which he has been formoie than a quarter of a century would be best administered in his hands. Because he believes in the eternal separa tion and divorcement or church and schools. Because he can cany all the silver States without a pledge or a doubt. Because he can bring back to the Repub lican fold the hundreds of thousands of farmers who have been drifting liorn their moorings. Because a large number or thoughtful, con servative Democrats, who understand and appreciate Mr. Blaine's great ideas as to reciprocity and protection, and who most earnestly commend and indorse his views as to the rights and duties of American citizen ship, w ill cast their vote ror him this year. Because a great majority oi the Republican partv believe that one term in the Presidontal chair is honor enough for any man, and that this policy should be adhered to except in cases ot gicac emergency or na tional danger, which does not exist at this time. Because Mr. B'aine most keenly realizes the necessity for the enactment of legisla tion and judicious enforcement of laws that will secuie to the enfranchised colored men of the South their constitutional right to cast one ballot at every election, and have that ballot honestly counted. On the reverse side of this circular is printed in full the famous speech of Colonel Kobert G. Ingersoll in nominating Blaine 16 years ago. "This circular was submitted to General Alger last night be fore we left Detroit," said Colonel Gavotte, "and it met his approval. That is all I can say as to General Alger's position. I think it is sufficient. " LANGST0N HAD AT HARBISON. He Has Ko Use for a Man Who Cares So Little for the Colored Man. CniCAGO, June 3. John M. Langston was interviewed in this city to-day. He said the only man that could give the negro in the South justice was Blaine. He almost shouted and brought his hand down on a type-written copy of the communication sent to a number of ministers by the Presi dent deploring the outrages committed against the negroes in the South, but stat ing that the Constitution prevented the President from taking any steps to prevent the outrages. Mr. Langston declared that his people hold the balance of power in Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and might disastrously exert it if Harrison was nominated. He as serted that Attorney General Miller, the President's law partner, had proved the most unfriendly man to the colored people who could have been named for that place, and that President Harrison had snubbed the colored people in the "Wold's Fair ap pointments. IEW WALLACE IS OUTSPOKEN. He Says Maine's Letter Was an Official Document and Must Be Respected. Mktjteapolis, June a The author of "Ben Hur," the chivalrous Lew "Wallace, and himself a delegate, said to-day: Harrison will be nominated on the first ballot. Blaine's name will not be mentioned belore the convention. A count of the dele gates will show this to any sensible man. Blaine's letter was an official document,ent to tho Chairman of the National Committee, and meant just what it said. There will be an effort to stampede the Harrison dele gates. This, I am satisfied, will be one of the strong cards In the hands of the antis. But it won't succeed. The Harrison men know about thnt scheme and are prepared for it. An effort may also be made to pack the galleries and devote them to Blaine criers. Bnt this, also, will rail of Its purpose. As for the dpposltion to Harrison, allow me to say ir you go to the bottom in cverv case ?ron ill nnd a personal grievance. Part the iair ot each or these malcontents in the middle and you will see a soie spot. FOUR STEAMBOATMEN DBOWHED. The John Matthews Goes to the Bottom, bnt the Passengers Are Saved.

ML X &2& ' fQWUv ABSOLUTELY PURE WAMAKER'S REPLY. He Forestalls Investigation by Giv ing the Correspondence IN THE PNEUMATIC TUBE MATTER. A Positive Denial Inclosed From a Transit Company Attorney. NO STOCK WAS USED FOR CORRUPTION ' "Washington; June a Postmaster Gen eral Wanamaker has sent a communication to Representative Henderson, of the House Committee on Postoffices and Postroads, in answer to'the sworn statement of Samuel F. Leake, President of the Pneumatic Trans portation Company of Philadelphia, In which he charges irregularities on the part ot the Postmaster General in connection with the pneumatic tube service cf Phila delphia. The Postmaster General says in part: Without waiting for a formal call from your committee, but In accordance with the statement alleged to have been made by your chairman, that the Postmaster Gen eral would be called upon for information, and to save time and unnecessary trouble to your committee, I beg to lav before you the correspondence between the department and Samuel F. Leake, and between the de paitment and Hon. John Field, tbe Post master nt Philadelphia, In i elation to the same; also correspondence between the de partment and James G. McHenry in relation to pneumatic tubes, which, without further statement is sufficient to give your commit tee a clear understanding of the whole mat ter. I may add that, Inasmuoh as no appropria tions have boen made specifically for pneu matic servioe, and no authority exists for the expenditure of public funds to investi gate it, the department has not been able to do more than teceive piopositions and gather Information. The Government Is Not Committed. I bavo thought it proper to study the sub ject from every standpoint, and have en couraged all parties .to submit to the de partment whatever they pleased bearing upon this new and interesting method for the transmission of mall matter. I have endeavored to avoid, either verbally or otherwise, any committal to any respW sibiHty for the Government. While, as no doubt yon have observed tho Supervising Inspector's report would have precluded the acceptance of the Leake proposition, under uo circumstadces would I have favored the granting of a contract at the city of Philadelphia without opening It to competition by public advertisement. I submit, also, the letter of tbe attorney of the Tncumatlo Companv, which was unsolicited and unsuggestcd. I have only to add that I never heaid of any Govern ment official having any interest in either of the Pneumatio Tube Companlos until a newspaper reporter called upon mo after the publication of the memorial which was presented to your committee. I shall be pleased to answer any call that tho com mittee desires to make upon me, personally or otherwise. Backed Up by Complete Denial. P. S. Since writing the above I am in re ceipt, through the Postmaster of Philadel phia, of a statement of George Bratton, re ferred to in the Leake affidavit as authority for certain statements, in which he makes an unqualified denial of the statements at tributed to him. Mr. Bratton was reported by Mr. Leake, in his statement, as saying that the Post master uenerai was nnanclally interested in the companies which owned the Clay system; that by reason of his interest the Olav sys tem was certain to be adopted by the Post office Department, and that 7,500 shares of the capital stock of the Pneumatic Transportation Company had been deposited in the National Bank of the Republic for the benefit of Mr. Wana maker and others subject to their delivery when the Pneumatic Transportation Com pany should have seenred the right to con struct the pneumatic tube line between the points above referred to. The letter of the attorneys of the Pneumatio Transit Com pany, referred to by the Postmaster Gen eral in his communication, says: Wo are, and ever, since its organization have been counsel of the Pneumatic Transit Company. The stock books of the said com pany are In our possession. Not a share of stock has ever been issued. The state ment which has recontly appeared in the newspapors, made in the interest of the Leako system, to the effect that 7,000 shares of the stock of the companv have been placed in the bands of a bankfng house lor the benefit or officers or the Postofflce De partment, is absolutely raise. No person in any way connected with the postofflce is in any manner, directly or indirectly, inter ested in our company. BLACK MATES WHITE In Three Moves. Which Were Simply Love, Courtship and Marriage. New Yohk, June a Special An event unusual in this country took place on Thursday night in the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Paterson, N. J., and drew to that unobtrusive building a great crowd of persons both white and colored. It was the wedding of the colored pastor of the church and a white woman. The bride groom, the Key. J. D. Bloice, is a South erner. He is a graduate of a North Caro lina college, and he studied theology in Boston. He was a missionary to India and alterward he preached in Manchester, Eng land. It was while he was in Manchester eight years ago that he met Miss Maria Granger. Miss'Granger was born in Manchester about 30 years ago. At 16 she wanted to be a missionary and a rich woman. Miss Had field, a daughter ot the late Hon. J. Had field, M. P., became interested in her, and adopted'her. Miss Granger and Mr. Bloice fell in love at first sight, and fioally alter he was settled in Paterson be proposed and she accepted him. She arrived irom England on the Germanic on Thursday, a week be fore her wedding day, and spent the inter vening time at the house of one of his colored parishoner&. The bride is a blue-eyed blonde. She wore a steel-gray satin costume and bonnet. The colored folks and white folks shook hands with the couple after the ceremony, and Mrs. Bloice kissed all the colored babies that came up in 'arms to congratulate her. WOEKIHG F0UB DAYS A WEEK. The Reading Railroad Company Carrying Out Its Declared Policy. Pottsville, June a The employes of the Beading Bailroad car shops at Palo Alto to-day received notice that hereafter they will be required to work but four days a week. This is not on account of a lack of work, as there are over 200 freight and over 100 coal cars on hand awaiting repairs. The shops closed this evening until Monday. This is carrying out the policy adopted on other divisions, where all shops are put on tne same time. The collieries are working. GATH will cive Minneapolis gossip THE DISPATCH for to-morrrow. to Latest U. S. Gov't Report Baking r VERY PLA1 IAH. The Cases Which Usually Come Under the Observation of a Specialist, Old Chronic Diseases, Generally Considered Incurable. Dra. Copeland, Hall and Byers Method of Treatment Superior to All Other Known " MetbodB Read To-Day'a Testimonial, .the Wonderful Cure of Mrs. Gorman. t It has no doubt often been said that while Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers publish each weok cures accomplished they say nothing or their failures. In this they only follow out the usual American custom of putting their "best root foieraost." That they have failures oes without saying, what phy sicians have not? They do not claim to cure every case submitted to them, they do not claim to be infallible, but they do claim tnat the percentage of cures under their method of treatment i greater than under any other known method. Treating as many patients as Drs. Cope land, Hall and Byers do. it is butnatural that they should be subjected to adverse crit icism at times on th part of those who do not take time to consider the gravity of the cases which come under their treatment. Come, let us reason together for a short time; it will do us all good. In the first place, the majority of cases coming under tho treatment or Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers aro old chronic cases given up as in curable bv the famllv nbvsician. who has exhausted his skill and patience and pre scribed every article in the materia meoica ever known ot for the cure or such diseases. Not only has the regular family phy sician failed to work a cure, but every phy sician for miles around has been consulted and failed; besides this the patient has gone the rounds of all the patent medicines, etc., etc. The he comes to Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers, of whom he has heard and lead so much, with the idea in bis bead that If they cure him at all it will be by some spe cies oi witcn-craxc, magic or voouooisin, buu that ho ought to be cured in a lew weeks or a month. Now, isn't it unreasonable to expect a cure of a long standing ailment, whioh has for years baffled the bestphyslclans in your neighboihood, in so short a time? Truly it is. It was to cover Just such cases that Drs. Copeland, Hall and livers a few months ago leduced their fees to $5 per month, medicine included. Experience had taught them that these chronic catarrhal affections, especially the ear complications, could not be cured any other way than by a thorough syste matic and continuous course of treatment, running through three or four months. They reasoned that it they could get enough patients to stay with them through this pre scribed course of treatment they conld afford to treat them for $5 a month and fur nish all necessary medicine free, and enre such old ohronlc diseases as bad baffled the skill or the family physician, because the latter could not afford to give the proper attention tnev reauireo. Tbe large measure of success met with by Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers proved the oonectness of their assumptions: and a talk with the large crowds that fill their offices from morning till night will also prove that they do cure these old chronic affections. They perform no sorceries and work no mtiacles. They surely cure the diseases of their specialty, but it is by patient, pains taking, and continuous treatment, and un less patients are willing to submit to a thorough and systematio course of treat ment they might as well not begin, for they will only be wasting their money and time and injuring the hard-earned imputation of these physicians. SLOWLY STARVING TO DEATH. This Was the Condition of Sirs. Mary Gor man Previous to Consulting Drs. Cope land, Hall and Byers Now She Is Well and Strong nnd Doing Housebqld Work for a Family of Eight. "It almost borders on the miraculous the success Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers bad in my case," says Mrs. Mary Gorman, who l elides on Sawyer street. Eighteenth ward. "I had been troubled a long time with ter rible neuralgic pains in my head and face, ulcerated mouth and deranged stomach. The inside of my mouth was all covered with ulcers, my 'appetite was poor and I had not eaten any solid food for weeks before consulting them, on account ot my mouth and stomach. 'I vomited everything I ate, could not even retain beef tea or milk on mv stomach. I was very much reduced in flesh. Indeed, bad it not been for tbe relief Drs. Copeland, Hall and flyers afforded me, I would bavo soon starved to death. "I could not lie down for the smothering sensation caused by the accumulation of gas in my stomach and bowels. It also caused shortness of breath, palpitation and-flutter-ins of heart, cold hands and feet, etc., etc I had to often walk the floor all night belch ing up gas from my stomach. This would give mo temporary relief until it would form again. "I tried evorythlng I could hear of, but found no relief. Reading three months ago of tho lemarkable cure of Mrs. Lewis Zol linger, whose symptoms were identical with mine, excepting the inout.Ii trouble, 1 detei mined to consult Drs. CoDeland. Hall an Byers, and place myself under their treat ment. I thought as they bad cured her they could at least afford me some relief. Sly hopes were more than realized, for to-day I am a well woman and doing the housework for a familv of eisht. where three months ago some one had to wait on me. Ton can not make this statement too strong, for the half has not been told, and cannot be realized. I will gladly tell any one who may call upon me what Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers have done for me." ' Treatment by Mall. To the Public: The system of mail treat ment pursued by Dis. Copeland, Hall and Byers guarantees the fame effective results to those who desire to submit their cases throu-rh correspondence as to these who come in person.
