WILL MEET IN DENVER.
Denver, Col., wns selected as tho place
and the secondTuesdny iu August, 1SD2,
as the time of the next triennial meet
ing of the Knights Templur. There
was a contest over the location between
Cincinnati, Louisville and Denver,
after which Cincinnati was withdrawn
and Denver, on the second ballot, was
selected by a good majority. The en
campment then adjourned until to
morrow. Grand Commander Vornum, of Iowa,
in speaking of the disposition of the
town ea.'-e by the grand -encampment,
said: "lho uction of the grand eucutnp
uicut is a happy solution of the vexed
questions which have been raised. It
is iu the nature of a compromise. The
intention of all parlies are recognized
to have been in the best interests of
Templar Masonry."
MRS. LOGAN S RTCEPTIOX,
Mrs. Logan's receptiou last night to
the sir knights and their ladies at Calu
met place was one of tho great events of
the conclave w eek and the occasion and
gathering iu point of numbers und bril
liancy exceded all expectations. Per
haps 10,000 people besieged the man
sion fiom "o'clock until near midnight.
The reception was held iu Memorial
hall, erected by Mrs. Logan to the
memory of her late husband, in which
are preserved the relics of the dead
senator, soldier anil sir Knight Temp
lar. The decorations of the house and
grounds for the occasion were elaborate
and beautiful. Potted plants nnd flow
ers adorned the interior. Lines of
Japanese lanterns and flags of all de
scriptions extended from tho roof of the
mansion to the ground, nnd every tree
and shrub ou the spacious grounds was
alive with colored lights. Calcium
lights flashed their rays over the road
way approaching the mansion, making
it as bright as day. On the lawn a
large tent was erected where refresh
ments were served, and near by two
smaller ones as cloak rooms for the
guests.
MANNING IS EXONERATED.
Secretary Windom lias been criticised
undeservedly iu New York state for
making public an anonymous commu
nication accompanying a no n science con
tribution received nt the treasury de
partment, iu which the writer insinuates
that an earlier contribution of $5,000,
sent to the department while the late
Mr. Manning was secretary, bad been
appropriated by the ex-secretary to his
own use. The fact is that, when the
letter was made public by Assistant
Secretary Batehellor a few days ago, he
prepared a statement to accompany it
to the effect that the department records
showed that 84,995 had been received
and covered into the treasury on tho
date referred to by tho conscience
stricken contributor. By mistake this
statement became temporarily separated
from the anonymous letter, nnd conse
quently was omitted from the account
telegraphed to some newspapers. Neith
er Secretary Windom nor Assistant Sec
retary Batehellor are nt all responsible
for the omission, and regret it n much
as any of Mr. Manning's most intimate
friends do.
THE CHOP HEroitT.
The department of agriculture re
ports the general percentage of the
condition of corn at 91.7, against 90.9 a
month ago, nnd 62 for the crop of 18H8.
On the 1st of October the condition of
potatoes is 77.0, against 80.0 hist Octo
ber; of buckwheat 90, against 92.1 last
year. A preliminary estimate of the
yield per acre is 12.8 for wheat, 11.9 for
rye mid 22.2 for barley.
The last month lm beeu favorable
for corn. A slight frost north of the
40th parallel injured late corn, but the
percentage of damage is generally very
small. The best, development of maize
was in the Missouri valley, returns of
the yield per acre of wheat being iu
thresher measurement. The report is
preliminary, as local estimates will bo
tested by the record books of the thresh
ers now coming in.
A RAILWAY LAKD RtrLIXfl.
Secretary Noble to-day overruled the
decision of ex-Commissioner Sparks,
made May 3, 1887, requiring the Central
Pacific railway company to tile with its
lists of lands selected under its grant,
the usual non-mineral affidavits iu nso
iu agricultural cases generally. The
practice in the case of land grants to
railroad companies is to make out a
list of lands within the grant and sub
mit the same to the department with an
affidavit to the effect that the plats and
surveyors' returns show the lauds to be
not mineral aud mineral lands are re
served from the grants. The ordinary
agricultural claimant must swear that he
knows from ersoual inspection that the
land he claims is not mineral in ehurac
tary. The secretary holds that inas
much as the existing requirements were
complied with by the company at tho
date of tho selection no retractive rule
should be applied to it. These selec
tions were made iu 1885 and 188rt. Sim.
ilar rulings were made in the cases of
the Southern and Atlantic A Pacific
railroad companies. This decision will
release from suspension and na in

insurrection nu Knglish brig was lying
off the coast, and l'r. Smith succeeding
in getting to her the captain sailed for
Jamaica and sent a Urilish man-of-war
to their assistance. When the vessel
arrived the negroes were thoroughly
frightened, as the English captain got

shell the island unless the officers were
delivered in safetv. They were taken
aboard the Forward on Thursday, alter
being in imminent peril since the pre
vious Saturday.
"As we ascended the steps of the ves
sel," said Dr. Smith, "the officers paid
us the compliment of hanging the
American flag over theside. They took
us to Kingston, where we were taken to
aclub house, entertained royally and
afterwards put safely aboard the steamer
Doraiu. We were treeted like princes

St. Louis, Mo., October 7. About 1
o'clock this morning there appeared nt
the Third district police station, corner
of Jefi'ersou avenue nnd Dayton stieet.
Ed. Klosterman, nsaloon keeper, whoso
place of business is located ot 2002 Cass
avenue, aud Alexander Hunt, a friend
of Klostcrman's, being the unconscious
.Kidy of Cnptniu D. P. Slattery, one of
the best known business men iu the
city. Klosterman told a roost sensa
tional story as follows: About 1 o'clock,
he said, he started up stairs to the rooms
occupied by himself and wifo over the
sulooii, accompanied by Hunt. His wife
ran from her bed room crying out that
there was a mau in her room. Slatery
followed the woman out nnd attempted
to pass the two men. Ho was without
coat, hat and vest. Hunt struck him
ond 'he fell down stairs. Klosterman
and hunt then, as they claim, went
down and liuding Captain Slattery un
conscious, immediately took him upaud
carried him to tho police station some
two blocks nwny. A short time nfter
they arrived there an unknown young
man came iu with a gold natch nndchnin
and 81 iu money which he said ho had
found in Captain Slattery ' vest. It
was claimed by Kloslermou and Hunt
that he found Captain Slattery invad
ing his wife's room for disreputable
purposes. The captain's friends on the
other hand say that ho had some $1,801)
worth of jewelry ou his person and
think it n caso of attempted robbery.
Late to-night Captain Slattery recov
ered consciousness. Ho clnimedbo was
on his way to see a former employe,
who lies on Cass street, w hen he was
struck on the head and knew no more.

PiEiinE, S. D., Oct. 9. By comparison
of sections 10 and 13 of the schedule
and ordinance of the constitution it ap
pears that there is a hitch iu it that may
cause trouble. Attention has beeu
called to soction 10, which provides
that canvassing boards of senatorial or
representative districts shall meet not
less than twenty days after election to
canvass the returns and then to make
ont certificates to the duly elected
members of the legislature, while sec
tion 13 provides that the members must
meet on the 15th iust. aud take the
oath of office, having the certificate of
election made out iu due form. The
question now arises: How can mem
bers be sworn into office on the 15tli
iust. when the cauvnsHiug boards of
their district, taking advantage of sec
tion 10. do not meet to canvass und is
sue the certificates of election until be
fore the 20th iust., after tho legislature
is supposed to convene, to cases where
different members have not received
certificates prior to the 15th iust.? Se
rious complications will nriso and can
vassing boards are reminded that their
difficulties can be avoided by prompt
action iu issuing election certificates to
members-elect in timo for the meeting
of tho legislature in Pierre on thu 15th.

Sew Vobk, Oct. 12.-1!. G. Dun k
Co.'s weekly review of trade says the
government crop reort was very en
couraging, but the loss of gold by the
demands of the great foreign banks,
over 81.100,000 by England, $4,ti0,000
by Germany and SV-W) by Prance
wns large enough to iuciease the appre
hensions of monetary pressure. Large
shipments went from London to Urnztl
and Egypt. These two opposing influ
ences niled the maiLels during the week.
Crops ore large and business heavy,
ond the commercial outlook most favor
able, but money is comparatively close
and there is a possibility that it may be
closer yet. At New York thus far there
has been no increase, but rather a re
laialion of pressure, and foreign ex
change is unaltered siuce last week.
The outward movement of products
is large, the exixirts from Now York for
two weeks exceeding last year's by 10.7
per cent, while the increase iu imports
is but 3 per cent.
Large fon igu invevtniont of cnpilal
in American industrial enlerpi ises are
reported and of late no considerable
foreign selling of securities, lint the
movement of money to the interior con
tinues large, tho treasury forwarding
8525.000 on Thursday. Reports do not
indicate increasing pressure iu the in
terior money markets, and the demand
is active at" all cities reporting. 'J he
supply at nearly all is ample and the an
ticipated rise iu rates at (. hicago has not
yet occurred.
l'he volume of trade is increasing st
nearly all interior points reporting, nnd
this involves a large demand fur money.
l'he bank clearings hu.t week were 2J
percent larger than la-t year nt New
York, 2 per cent smaller nt Hostou,
Philadelphia nnd Chicago, tho decrease j
being largest nt Chicago, but 11 perl
cent larger at all tho oilier cities taken
together. This increase nt oiiits n here
speculative activity has lenst influence
indicates a greater volume of legitimate
business than has ever been recorded at
this season in any previous year, and
the heavy railroad earnings, 10 per cent
above lost year for September, tell the .
sanio story.
The great industries are making pro
gross. Several more fun. aces of the
largest size have gone into blast sinco
Octobor 1, and tho weekly output ou j
that date was over 150,000 tons, against
130,000 tons a year ago, an increase of 4 j
per cent, in September, aud 154 per
cent for the year. In spite of tho enor
mous production prices are not only
sustained by consumption, but are
slightly advanced, though southern irou
in still sold here below 817 for No. 1,
while $17.25 to 18.50 is quoted for
northern. Psr iron is iu better de
mand, structural nnd plate works nre
crowded, and thu sales of rails within
ten days have reached 250,000 tons,
inaiiy large companies having made
their annual contracts for renewals of
track.
The sales of wool at I'oston have been
1,158,000 pounds nnd mnro demand is
seen there, but less at I'hiladelphin.
where concessions in prices are still
thought necessary. j
The government crop reorr was
rather a surprise to many, a it shifted
the wheat estimates from "n fraction
over 12" to 12.8 bushels per acre, mak
ing the probable yield not much below
500,000,000 bushels. Tho corn report
indicates tho largest crop ever rnisd
and the samn may be said of cotton with
the proper reservation that early frosts
may not greatly reduce the outcome.
With heavy crops business in nil d,,.
partments will lie stimulated nnd at the
sumo time the demand for money will
bo iucroased. Pork products nre not
much changed, coffee mid sugar'a little
weaker, oil and the minor metals sub
stantially unchanged.
Another indication of tho general
prosperity is seen in the largo sales of
boots and shoes, though prices were
never so low at any previous time, and
leather, just now quoted firm, is as low
as at any time in thirty-five years.
Tho coal trade is ilisapixiinling nnd
actual prices are much under the sched
ule, while wages nre said to be 10 per
cent, lower than a year ngo. At Pitts
burg, however, the trado is improving
and the glass trndo is good ond factories
of all kinds are better employed than a
year ngo
in he stock market there was a de
cline until the 7ih, then soma recovery
aud on Friday another sharp depies
sion, partly due to continued weakness
iu trust stocks, but moro largely to tho
monetary pressure and thu nmro
threatening stato of the controver
sies at the webt upon rates. Tho
comparatively slow movumeulof grain at
present prices also has on influence, lint
the market for railroad stocks i so far
fien from public interference, ond iu
such strong hands, that serious depres
sion has not been generally appre
hended. The business failures during the last
seven days number 214, as compared
