Windsor stations wore crowded yesterday
with people waiting to see the outgoing and
Incoming ministers dvpait for Windsor Castle
to transfer the seals of office. All shades of
politics were represented , as shown by the
mingled hisses and applause with which each
of the prominent officials were greeted. On
the appeararco of Gladstone , the cheers of his
admirers fo'.rly drowned the feeble hisses of
the lories , ) ut the hisses and groans preiornt-
uatod on tbe arrival ol Chllders , the
retiring , chancellor of the exchequer ,

and bowed acknowledgements right and left.
Lord Salisbury itood alone with sombie dig
nity , taking notice of his friends but scowling
ikvagely at the hisses.
There was immense excitement and
laughter in tbe houjo ol commons this
evening over the exchange of seats by which
the conservatives took possession of
the government benches and the
whlgs and radicals found accommodations
on those of tbo opposition. The only mem
bers who did not cross the line wore the Par-

nopollzed the best portion below the gangway.

NEW YORK , June 25. Tbo Herald'a cibl
from Velincla tayi ; Scientific men outside c
Spain will attach little value to the concli
slons of tbo medical commission , which , o
you know , confirm the Ailatic nature of tb
epidemic now raging in Spain aad rccommen
further trial of Dr. Farron' inoculation tyi
tern. The investigations of tha commltte
were conducted in such a careless , uniclentll :
way they prove nothing , Before forming a
opinion regarding Fatron' * claim , It would 1
advisable to await tba rciult of tha fin
iarlea of Inquiries now being made by Di
P Glbere , representing the French , Dr. V
i- Emeuger , representing Belgium and Dr. Her
don , ex-member of tbo royal commission , Tl
first two gentlemen are bard at work in
room place ! at their disposal by Dr. Farrei
who returns Snnday from Madrid , To-day
Dr. Gobero and Van Ermongir after , careful
microscopic examination of the dejections
taken from the sick bed of pallento , for the
first time discovered the bacillus cf Koch and
convinced themselves of the presence of real
Asiatic cholera at Valencia , They have not
yet made up their minds as to the merits of
Dr. Farren's vaccination , nor do they admit
that the statistics published have any scien
tific importance , depending as they do upon
the reliability oi officials who compile statis
tics and moro upou whether most of persons
when vaccinated belonged to rich , middle or
poorer classes whether habitually well or ill
fed , clean or dirty , whether in good or bad
health , when Inocculated.
The Herald' correspondent knows that
cholera statis'lc ' * are deliberately falsified ,
The number of deaths and caipa is still com
paratively few , but in the neighboring vil
lages the mortality is terrible. This is not
surprising. Peasants herd together like awtno.
A whole family lives in ono room , seldom
paved , lighted by n few slits in the wall , maybe -
bo ono large hole replacing n window , Tha
food of peaianta hereabouts is usually fish , a
llttlo rice and fruit , washed down by water
from filthy streams , Yesterday your correspondent
pendent vIsltudlGroco.Tho harbor literally
stinks , the road undrainod and choked up
with putrid refuse , in which chil
dren play barefooted with dogs and cats. As
you walk along you are pestered by thousands
of flies , which doctors hero are convinced
greatly aid in spreading the cholera. If they
have time DM. Goboro and Van Krraongor
may make experiments to provo this. Among
the places flhlch suffered most severely is the
llttlo village of Torres , whore , the other day ,
six out of tea members of a well-to-do family
were carried of in n few hours. . Five other
people on the name day sent for medical atsist-
anco and In the evening four wore dead. Yet ,
withdenth EO busy all around , in Valencia it
self you may walk mound for hours and see
no signs of cholera. Now und then you mnet
a man or woman carrying home n tiny coffin ,
now and then you pass a procecslon of priests
bearing relics of saints nnd followed by a
crowd chanting the "Ora Pro Nobis , " but
this thing is exceptional. Life goes on us
usual , shoptheatres and markets are as busy
as o\cr , and the cholera seems to ba n dream.

NEW YORK , June 25 , John McCullough
left bis room In the Sturtevant house yester
day morning with the expressed intention of
visiting his friends and his sister , Mrs. E. N. (
West , in Dunmoro , Penn , Ho asked Leland
for some money. That gentleman pave to
the colored boy , Tticumseh Pierce , who ac
companied McCullough , 55 in cash and § 200
in checks of $25 each. The two then started
for Jersey City , and the next nowa Leland had
was the receipt of the following from the col
ored boy :
"Mr. McCullough is very bad , worse tlnn
over. Shall I bring him back or go to Phila
delphia ? "
In a few minutes another telegram was re
ceived.
"McCullough seems perfectly lost and
knows nothing. Am waiting in Jersey City
station with him now "
Leland immediately went to Jersey City ,
but tbe parly were gone. The telegraph
operator said McCullough had been raging
and tearing round tbo station for several
hour ; , refusing to go to Dunmore or to return
to Now York. Finally live gentlemen ,
friends of the actor , bad come in on their
way to Philadelphia , and McCullouph sud
denly decided to go with them. They all
started on the 3:35 : train , and telegraphed
Mrs. McCollougb , who lives in Philadelphia ,
telling her to have fiiends on hand to take
care cf her husband. Tip to a late hour last
night Leland heard nothing from
Philadelphia and could not tell
whether tbe party had arrived or not.
Ho also stated this was the last time he could
do anything for McCullougb , and ho would be
obliged to ask the actor to find accommoda
tions elsewhere. Three eminent physicians of
this city , all of whom have know McCollough
for moro than ten years , had told Leland that
he should bo placed in an asylum , and Leland
thought he could no longer take the responsi
bility cf having control of him. Leland also
said In regard to the $10,000 note about which
there had been so much publicity of late , that
he and two of his clerks bad seen the certified
check which bad been drawn to pay a note
when it was due , but that McCollough had
never presented it for payment , but had sent
it to Ft. Louu for collection , in course of
banking business.

BOSTON , Mass. , June 25. The B y State

ceived with throe cheerr. After thanking the
club for the honor conferred , referring to his
reception at Yale and Harvard , touching up
on tbe result In Indiana last fall and express
ing the opinion teat slnco "tho troubles in
Mnasachutetts had passed,1' she would take
her place beside Indiana as a dem
ocratic state , ho took up the
subject of civil service ) reform. Ho
cold how horeceived , a letter from President
Pierce appointing him commissioner general
of the land office , of his acceptance of the
position , of tbo important work in hand in
cluding the surveys beyond the Missouri
river and Cala ho then said :
"When I took charge of tint office with 185
clerks I found the butiness four years behind.
The patents that ought have gone to the people -
plo living upon the lands were four years
behind date. I said at onco. This will not
do. The man who has put chased land of the
government has n right at an early date to his
patent that he can sell It so that ho may ob
tain his rights whatever they may be. I
said at once there must bo a reform in this
clBce. My ambition was connected with re -
formI could not well afford to to take that
appointment and go out of that office
without having brought the work up to date.
So I did commence the work of reform se
riously and very earnestly , and very soon I
became acquainted with all tha clerfts In the
cilice , and very soon to know tin clerk * that
would bo able to help me with the work that
had to bo carried through , and very soon
thoto that limped , or were unwilling or In
different did step aside , The "hickory broom"
of Jackson that represented democratic reform
was Iho sentiment and emblem of the
reform that I sought to bring about
and m the stead of men who bad to step out
there camp in young and earnest follows that
were willing to do the work , so that by ono
general order I required that the work should
be 25 per cant , more than it had been before.
These men came in and took their share
readily and cheerfully and cordially , and when
I left that oflico nearly four year after
wards , it was only four months behind
in the delivery of the patents to the men that
had bought the land , From four years it
came down to four months and that was as
close as it wai practicable to bring the work.
That , I thought , was reform.
"I want to tell you another thing , gentle
men. When you men give your vote at an
election and pay your tax-gatherer you want
to understand tbe particular point at which
civil service reform can be brought about. I
will toll you. It u not with the president in
detail ; it la with the bureau officer that
has to do directly with the wotk and
with the clerks who perform
the work. I am not personally very much
acquainted with the bureau officers employed
by the secretaries at Washington. I know
some of them in the interior department. I
know the commirsionor of the land office ; I
know the commissioner of Indian affairs , I
know by reputation the excellent gentleman
who is In the ofhYo ot patents. I believe
they , by their own judcment and force
will bring about civil service reform in their
departments. I think I am right in saying
that I know they have already taken steps in
that direction ; that the people will not be
sold off by them ( applause ) . That Is my own
history about civil service reform. It may beef
of no account , but it is mine and
that will stand inspection whenever
and wherever it shall be and it will fill
all the bureaus ia Washington City with
capital men at the head and tell them that
the work devolves upon them and holds them
responsible. That will bring about certain
and prompt reform. I think we are going
through all right. It was a good while that
the democrats were kept out-a quarter of a
century , The sentiment of the country had
been enforced with cruel proscription. Tbo
democrats shall now share jn the honors of
the public offices _ of the country.
It was a cruel proscription , such as 1 never
advocated toward the opposite party for I
know there are honest men among them. ,
and I would not to-day if I
could do it , take thn charge of
this entire government away from the oppo
site side. They pay their taxes , they con
tribute to the support of the country , They
help to fight the bittles when horrid war
comes upon us , and it is but fair that they
should share in the honors. But it is
not fair , and never baa been fair that they
should clutch them all nnd say to the young
men of the democracy : ' 'You are not to bo
trusted. You shall not share In them. "
Hendrlcks closed by sayinf that ' after the
next national election , in which nn proposed
to have no personal interest [ cries of "head
of the ticket next tima 1" ] ho wanted to come
back and meet the Bay State club bringing
good news from Indiana to Maas.iohuaottb. "

MEXICAN FINANCES.
THE CRISIS 01' THE COOT D1 ETAL LOOKED 10
WITH HOPB.
Special Telegram to The BEE.
Cirr OF MEXICO , Juno 25. Thera wai a
protracted meeting last night of tbe directors
of the national bank of Mexico at which
Senior Dublnn , the minister of finance , was
present and was Interrogated as to whether
any arrangement could be made by the gov
ernment wboreby the bank might be exempt
from the operation of tbe law decreed on
Monday lost. The minister of finance replied
that nothing could be done , as the law bad
been decreedjby a full cabinet presided over
by the president of the republic.
Tbe National bank Is badly embarrassed ,
and it is predicted that it cannot survive this
shock , The London bank Is quite unaffected
by the law. There is talk that the National
bank , the Central railroad , and the National
railroad will join in a common protest to the
government , bat not until their attorneys
meet can it bo decided upon what ground :
this can be accomplished , The National
bank's capital is largely held in France , where
It in backed by tbe Franco-Egyptlon bank ,
and to-day rumors have been current that tbe
French government might make a diplomatic
protest in behalf of the bauk ,
The question has nlao been raised regarding
the attitude of tbe United States government ,
should the American railroads be eeiiously
embarrassed. Minister Jackson is in Toluca ,
where bis wife is ill , and could not be Inter
viewed by interested Americans. The largo
German mercantile houses lieie have bought
up the custom house certificates at dlsconnt
and the point has been raised in German cir
cles that the home government is likely to
maka a diplomatic inquiry why those certifi
cates have been discredited.
Regarding the nuestion of possible inter
ference by the United States government , it
is said in legal circles hero tint the Mexican
railroads are Mexican corporations under the
terms of their respective concessions and CM )
not appeal to Washington.
It fa reported that the government will , n n
few days , publish the now scheme for adjust
ment of the English debt , end It Is expected
