Sails From Newport News on the St. Louis For Porto Rico, Washington, July 26. Major Gen eral Brooke, commanding the First army corps, sailed today from Newport News to join General Miles at Porto Rico.

The remainder of the troops in Chickamauga will be embarked at Hampton Roads as rapidly as possi ble, and it is expected that the last of them will be aboard ship by Wednesday. The reported boarding of a German steamer off San Juan, Porto Rico, by " a launch from an American naval vessel is taken at the war department to con firm its belief that General Miles has arrived there, and as all of the details of the expedition are moving with pre pisiou, thero is every reason to believe that thp troops will be all ashore before the end of the weeljy Colonel Hecker, who is directly in charge of the trans portation arrangements here, return to Washington from Fortress' Monroe, en tirely satisfied with the progress being made by General Brooke's command.

It was a four handed game, and John Chamberlin was the other player. This game at Chamber Jin's, was always for a 95 limit at first, with the understanding that along to ward morning, after a couple of hours of warming up, anybody could suggest the removal of the limit if he wanted ta The way Coukling and Sheridan bluffed eaoh other that night was a cau tion. Both man seemed to striko out luck altogether as an element in their good natnred play against each other, and as both of them caught fine hands occasionally when engaged in this tug of war of bluffing neither of them could get an exact lino on tho other, and it was better than a play to study their faces at tho show down's. Conkling was having all the success during tho latter part of the night, and it was fnn to hear Little Phil softly utter dark aud woolly things under his breath when, time after time, Conkling. would show a hand consisting of nothing at all after having scared Sberjdau opt or produce a gorgeous set of fours or a full hand at such, times as Sheridan, deciding that the senator was binning, would call him. "'Bite him, Sheridan,' Chamberlin would cay amusedly on these occasions, and Sheridan would tell Chamberlin to go to the dickens and call for another deck of cards. ."We started the. last round of jack pots with a new deck. Sheridan dealt the first mesa himself, and after it had gone around and none of the three of us could open it Sheridan opened it him self. Neither Chamberlin nor I had any right to stay on our hands, eo it was left between Sheridan and Couk ling, who staid. Conkling took three cards aud turned .his little pair into threes. Sberidan dished himself "out three cards and bit his cigar hard when be saw his hand- He made a 9 bet to draw Coukling 'out, and the senator raise4 him $25. It passed between them with these ?25 bets until there was nearly $300 iu the pot, both men scru tinizing acb other pretty carefully' at .each. bet " 'I'don't know so much about you this- time,' said Conkling finally, 'and I think I'll just call you fcr safety.' "Both laid their hands down at the same tima Conkling had three nines, ru lie looked at Sheridan strangely when he saw the color of Sheridan's three aces. Both Chamberlin and my self also saw what was wrong at the same instant, but we only smiled and let the two men have it out Sheridan had a broad grin ou his face and was just aboqt to rake in tho pot- Coukling was gaging af the little man of iron with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Republican readers of Tnn .Toorxal are entitled io know how the situation looks from tne other side of the political field. A few weeks ago it was supposed that there would bo no. opposition to speak of against the nomination of Judge Albertbut objection is showing itself from several unexpected quarters. The Humphrey (Swallow) Democrat has this to eny; . "For" r camliUato Tor district judge this fall a good, clean man should be chosen. Care should bo taken not to disgrace the bench with any more ward politicians. Wo havo had enough of that sort of thing now in the elevation of Alberts to the bench. If a good, clean man is named we can defeat the republicans hands downs. Alberto wants the nomination but if ho isalowed to' havo it, it means sure defeat. With the large fusion majority in old Platte, Alberts enn not' carry bis home connty. Onr people have no use for ward poli ticians in a judicial office." Where "are wo at," any way? Is it possible that Mr. Swallow favors B. P. Duffy for judge before j; L. Albert? Thnt .could scarcely, be, in the ordinary -"conrso of human events'." District' J mlge. The Howells Journal, an important I factor in the fusion, ranks' of Colfax county, has this reference to Hon. J. W. Sparks, of Central City, who see'iner to have been selected to compete with our townsman, tho present incumbent, Judge Albert, -for tho. nomination for district judge: "As a lawyer Mr. Sparks stands well both at home and abroad. - He has been closely identified with the silver move ment and has many warm political friends throughout tho district who would be glad to see him nominated." Gentlemen, it is, always a good thing for thp6owho undertake to play Hamlet not to leave out tho prince: . Do you npticethe ominons silence of Dodge, county in this nominating cam- nniifn? . If yon have not be'fore felt thatcilence, think now of .what it may mean. 'Why is it that Merrick has a candi date, Colfax has another, Pla'lte anqtber (under the bush or boiiind a tree), be sides Judge Albert who stands, ont .open and Dodge has none? Is it a fact among you that full dele gations from Platte nnd Dodge counties, going ope way oan ontvote all the other delegations combined, in the nominating convention? Who is there in Dodge, who may not think it advisable to try for the judge ship now, but shortly in the fnture? Answer that question, and then con sider wuetner the combine is not a-fair Iv contrived namnaiorn Inr th hnnnra I and emoluments of one judgeship now. I and two judgeships later along. &yjfzu.
