N w YonK , Juno SO. The Sun's cable
gram from London stys :
Nearly 2,0 of tha conservative members of
the house of commons met this afternoon at
the C&rloton ciub to discuss the plans and
prospects of the remainder of the sotsion un
der the now government. It was a mast en
thusiastic assemblage , and there was very llt
tlo to sustain the theory that the conservatives
had accepted oflico with fear and trembling ,
expecting to form a gap in the government
until November and then to bo defeated at
the polls , Speeches were energeth and aggress
ive , the speakers taking the ground that the
conservativeshad ] boon opportunely thrust into
power under circumstances which gave them
a good fighting cbanco to make their tenure
permanent and the feeltn ? among the mem
bers seemed to bo that the party had coma to
stay , The greatest enthusiasm of the occa
sion was evoked by the appearanca of Lord
Salisbury. The now premier was in hUh
feather and ho looked complacent and confi
dant aa ho bowed hla acknowledgments of the
applause which ( cemod to bo endless. He
made only a short speech , bnt It was a sturdy
and uncompromising avowal of conservative
principles As far as ha outlined his policy it
was to proceei steadily forward in the path
sanctioned by former cansorvatlvo govern
ments , to disregard the erratic course of the
party lately in piwor , and to lot the opposi
tion waste Us forces on unanswered attacks ,
Gen. Stafford Nprtbcote WAS received with
a degree of enthusiasm second to that which
had greeted the chief of the party. lie said
ho had only cirne to say a few words of farewell -
well to his colleagues In the bouse of commons
and to encourage thorn to enter joyfully upon
the coming struggle. Bis voice trembled as he
spoke partly with emotion and partly from
weakness caused by his late illness and his
speech was abruptly broken off. A funny in
cident occurred as tbo conservatives were
leaving the Carleton club. They came down
the steps of the Fall Mall entrance in a bunch
busily engaged in conversation and taking
no notice of the people on the side
walk. Gladstone happened to be passing.
The formost group c f torles almonfc tumbled
over him. Then ho was swept along in the
outpouring throng of political enemies and
the situation was comically mixed for a few
moments. The ox-premier was th > > first to re
cover his self possession. Ho skillfully extri
cated himself from the crowd and lilting his
hat stood at one side to let them pass by.
Instantly the example caused every one of the
onservatives to raleo hi ) hat in return , and
his novel spectacle was presented of a pro
cession of tories passing in review before the
liberal leader in front of the national head
quarters of toryism.
TUB IICS3IAN PRESS
continues unfriendly to Lord Salisbury. The
fact that the hostile comments are unchecked
by the IluEsian government causes some con
cern in British official circles The St. Pet
ersburg Novosti has adopted the plan of print

Russophobists , and the object , of course , Is to
further Inflame the Russian war party , of
which the Noveati is the mouthpiece.
< THE HUSSION TO EGYPT.
It turns out that Sir Henry Drummond

mission , is instructed to report on'tbe state of
the administration and condition of Egypt.

Salisbury , at an interview wftb M. Wadding-

facilitate the settlement of the Egyptian ques

report independent of the papers left by the
late government to state the course of the con
servative policy.

CHICAGO , 111. , Juno 20 , A motion was
made in Judge Moran's court this morning
iat will revive in many minds the bitter
memories of the days of the great monetary
> antc. In August , 1877 , when bank failures
ere of daily occurrence , the people were
evortholess thunderstruck to learn that the
; &to savihgs Institution which they oven then
cgarded as infallible was dead broke and that
ho president , D. D , Spencer had sailed for
Europe. piet > umably with nil the rash that
as left in the safes. The failure affected all
QIECB , but especially the poor , and popular
ndiguotlouaud rage ran so high that if Spen-
sr could have been caught he would Infallibly
lave hanged to the neatest lamp post , llo
as Immediately indicted , but concealed his
whereabouts in Europe for years , until
1 thoughts of extradition were
bandoned. Sometimes ho was reported to be
ving In great style , and then again it wai
aid that he wai living In the greatest desti-
ition and his family with him. However
iat may bo be now hankers to come back to
hlcago. Accor dtngly this morning
ndgo Goudy receiver of the exploded insti-
ntion nnd the attorney had an interview with
tales Attorney Grinnoll , and tbo three had a
ing palaver at a sidebar with Judge Moran ,
IB purport of wnich all four modestly do-
ined to communicate to reporters. It was
larnod , nevertheless , that the motion was to
ismlss the indictment J against Sponsor , BO as

NEW YORK , June 20. A story was pub-
ihed Ih the west some time ago that the
3hicazo , Burlington & Quincy railroad was
ndeavorlng to gain control of the St. Paul ,
Minneapolis & Manitoba road , The sharp
tdvanco In the price of Manitoba stock dur-
ig the past few days has caused a renewal of
mt rumor , but an investigation fails to re-
eal anything which would indicate that the
iport is true. Vice President Kennedy of
10 Manitoba road , is now in Canada , but his
> rlmto secretary said tbis morning that BO
ar as any official action was concerned there
was nothing in the story. He says that it is
lossible that the directors of tha Chicago
turlington & Quincy are quietly picking
p the stock or it may bo that the advance is
uo to an effort on the part of somebody to
jueezethe "shorts" in Manitoba stock. Ha
oes not credit the story. Peter Geddls , dl
ector of the Burlington & Quincy company
aid in regard to the rumor : "I really can no
ay that there is any foundation for the ru
mors , for I do not know. If I wore forced to
xpresa an opinion I should say that tbe rulers -
lors were efforts of thn owners to advertise
10 Manitoba property for sale. I have al-
vays understood that tha stock was closely
leld and under such circumstances on advance
r decline in the price at the stock
xchange is a simple matter. I guess the
whole thing is an advertisement. "
Mexico's Great Poverty ,
CITT OF MEXICO , June 26. The recent and
nexpected decrease in the funding of out-
handing obligations against tbe government
n the S25.000,0:0 issue of bonds has had the
ffect of making the money market tighter

itopped all discount business , a step that has
been generally followed by the broker * . Ex-
chaogp , both foreign and domestic , has stif-
ened in price. Tbo commercial outlook is
yet more ominous and it is reported a num-
> 3r of houses reputed to be of good standing
are on tha very edge of bankruptcy , Mexico
s in the lowest depth * of poAerty.
The povornrnent will soon publish a report
of tha special commission on adjustment of
the English debt , advocating the recognition
of the debt and the payment of the first
rear of one-half of one per cant interest ,
and each subsequent year until the maximum
of the interest shall bo reached pne-qunrtor
of one per cant. It is said that if this plan
s followed the Interior debt can bs placed OE

WASHINGTON , Juno 20. In the closing days
ot its last cession congress authorized tlio
president in his discretion to appoint a com
mission to negotiate for tbo cession to the
Uuitcd States of the BO called Oklahoma
country , The con mission hna not yet been
oppolntod , and it in understood that no action
will bo taken in regard to Its au-
thoiized appolntmeut until after iha
August elections shall have been hold
by the Ova civilized nations ol
Indian territory Mtanwhllo It IB learned
that the presdtut and all members of the
cabinet are in accord in maintaining that no
white settlement shall .bo permitted on the
Oklahoma lands under any circumstances
without the consent of the Indians under
terms of the treaty of 18GG , and that the
whole lorco of the government shall bo em
ployed If necessary to carry out theguaranteos
of that instrument.
The "liutlor house force" of the senate em
ployes , consisting of throe messengers salar
ies $1,440 each two janitors at $900 , and
several laborers $720 , will ba dropped from
the pay rolls of the sorgeant-at-arms at the
end of the present month. These men are
nearly all republicans. At the same time eno
assistant doorkeeper of the senate at § 1,8:0 : ;
two messengers at $1,440 oach. and one em
ploye of the folding room will bo dropped. Of
these , two are democrats , one is a republican ,
and tne politics of the other is unknown ,
The school proposed by Commodore Schloy
for the instruction of seamen In the improved
nrn.amont of modern vessels will open at the
navy yard in this city on the 1st of July. A
class of twenty sailors his been Delected.
Cotnmodoro Schloy hopes to open vith a class
of twenty members at Newport on August
1st , Only sailors enlisted in continuous ser
vice are admitted to the school. "These
men , " said Commodore Schley to-day , "are
to go on vessels at the end of a year's instruc
tion and act as teachers of other men who
may bo on board. Oar sailors have not
kept up with the advance in gun machinery.
The government is to blame for this , for since
the war no attempt at improvement in t uns
has been made until within the past year.
Now wo have no improved guns nor men to
handle them if they should ba obtained , The
ball of the war tired at a modern vessel is like
a pea snapped nta window pane. We expect
to secure now gum and will have men to han
dle tnem. "
A number of tha plans and specificalioni
for the new naval vessels provided for at the
last session of congress have been received _ nt
the navy department. In the circular calling
for plans and proposals , Secretary Whitney
specified that they should be submitted by
July 15. The circular called for plans for
four vessels. The bureau of construction and
the bureau of steam engineering of the navy
department will submit plans for them all ,
the former for hulls and the latter
for machinery and engines. It is not
know that an other nourca will offer plans for
the entire number. Several plans for single
vessel will be submitteed by naval officers
and it Is expected plans will be received from
shipbuilders. Naval Contractor Mintonye ,
of the Brooklyn yards , will furnish plans for
for three vessle * . The first fs to cost about
S1,500COO , to ba 356 feet by forty-eight ; to
run eighteen knots per hour ; her armament to
consist of twenty-seven guns , and she
is to carry about four hundred men
and officers. The second Vessel will be 305
by forty-six feet and her battery will consist
of eighteen guns. The thli d vessel will be
225 by thirty-six feet , carrying an armament
of fourteen guns , The vessels ere modeled
after the English cruisers. The enterprising
bnt imaginative individual has also been sub
mitting propositions. One of the officers plans
vessel that will float on " ton of water , be-
eath it , and in mid-air. Its sails will
.0 wings and it will make greater
.pood than any bird or any thing man has
nventod , " Others are submitting similar Im-
iractlcable schemes for parts of vessels. Sec-
: etary Whitney is not desirous of experiment-
ng with now schemes. He rather favors the
.doption of models of the best cruisers built
jy foreign powers , with such improvements
as can be added by American ship-builders.
Senator Ingalls to-day received a telegram
rom the governor of Kansas saying an Incur-
jion by the Choyennou similar to that of 1878
is apprehended , and great uneasiness prevails
in tbo western part of Kansas which has been

irnor therefore expresses an earnest desire
.hat the secretary ot war should station troope
in the southwest border of the state to guard
against attacks from the Indiana , Endicott ;
being out of the city , Ingalls called upon the
provident and was assured that the matter
md been the subject of earnest consideration
by the cabinet and active measures were now

Another Victory for Harvard.
NEW LONDON , Conn. , Juno 20. The liar
vard-Yalo boat race was won by Harvard
Never before In the history of Yale-JIarvar
aquatics has the Interest manifested prevlou
to the race been wrought to such a high stat
of excitement. The largest crowd ever gath
ered here witnessed the race to day , An tli
time for the content approached the exclti
inent became intense , as It was reported thi
Captain Flanders , of Yale , vrai ill and coul
not row , It WM , however , decided that it
would bo better lor him to row than change
tha stroke. Thtsch ogod betting from oven
money to SlOOto $80 In the Hnrva'di' favor.
Beth crows appeared at about 11:15 : and nt
11:25 word was plven , Yale taking water \crjr
quickly and obtained a load of
about two- feet , but at fifty yards
from the start Harvard had drawn
up ovfln and WAS beginning to draw ahead.
At 300 yards Harvard showed clear water bo-
tffcen hoisclf and Yale. And Yale never
got near her again , At tbis tlmo bath crows
wore pulling forty strokes , At the end of first
mile , llartaid loci by two lengths and at two
miles by C\o lengths , having made
the two miles in 10 minutes
21 } seconds. From this time to the finish
Harvard steadily increased the lead , finally
winning easily by fifteen length' ,
Official lime Harvard , 25 minutes loj seconds
ends ; Yale , 21 } minutes 30 seconds , At the
finish tha Harvard crow appeared fresh and in
fmo condition while In the Yale boat two ol
the mon appeared blown and a third rowed
in a rather listlosi stylo.
CHICAGO , Juno 20 The result of the Har
vard Ynla race was received in Chicago via
the Associated Trees leased wires nt exactly
10:51 a , m. or ( allowing for difference In time
between Now London nnd Chicago ) 30 seconds
ends after the Harvard's bout crossed tlio line ,
The Yale oarsman after the race explained
the Ynles disastrous defeat by saving that
Yale was out-rowed , and that the Yalos paid
too much attention to the mildoof the boat.
Certain it Is that the result Is iv grort surprise
to Yale as sha considered her crew sure win-
nerj. Many prominent Yale mon have freely
expressed the opinion that the result of this
race will break up the Bob Cook nnd Louis Hull
regime , It is now stated that two days ago
Cook and Flanders had a serious misunder
standing nnd Cook's language was BO strong
that It broke Flanders up so badly that tears
iprang to his eves. The record of the Yalo-
Uarvard series now stands Harvard six , Yale
4. while the Yale crow of 1884 holds the best
, ime record. The captain of the crow de
clined to talk about the race further thrn to
say that It was fairly won.

CHICAGO , III , , June 20. The wheat market
opened steady this morning , but the frno
weather caused a soiling movement which be
came very general daring the first half of the
session ; and August dropped from ! )0jc ) | to
89Jc. After the prlco had gone under OOc tha
feeling became very boarjsh , and some largo
"short" li\es were thrown out. There were
moro baying orders from the outside , however ,
at the reducud figures , and the price was car
ried up to ! )0ic ) , and the last trading of the
day was at 90Jc , with a somewhat bettor fool
ing in the pits , A statement was made that
twenty-two boat loads had been taken at Now
York for export. The report wes not
entirely credited , but It had an efloat
in cauimg the market to remain firm.
The statement of Statistician Tol- .
madgo reducing his estimate of the 'crop
from 301,000,000 bushels to 331,000,000 bush
els was accepted by the bulls as corroborating
In a measure their views ns to the certainty of
a short crop , but the statement did not appear
to have any yory marked effect upon the
course of trading. Liverpool was quoted
quiet but steady , with the pric of English
wheat a turn dearer. The receipts here con
tinue fnir and the shipments light.
CORN.
The receipts of corn were large and esti
mated to be largo again to-morrow , which
caused an easier feelin ? and the market closed

The supply was light and { the demand also ,

Gnnrullana Discuss the Fisheries ,
OTTAWA , Can , , Juno 20 , In the house of
commons to-day several members spoke in re
gard to the fisheries agreement entered into
bv the United States and Great Biitnin In
which they took the ground that the United
States had much the best of it. Mitchell
taid the C.inadlun government should have
acted sooner ; that tlio accession of the demo
cratic party in the United Siates had impair
ed the chances of reciprocity. Sir John MacDonald -
Donald saia ho Loliovcd the present
American government was favorable to
extended trade relations with Canada , but
that the republic ui parly were still in the
majority in the United States tenatc , so the
matter was a very delicate on ? , as the assent
of both houses pf congress w.ti necessary ,
Ulako concurred In this view and said it was
unfortunate that Mitchell had used language
calculated to arouse the anlajrouUm of tne
party that were In the majority in the senate ,
The matter then dropped ,
GIOBCKHIHR , Mass , Juno 2G The general
sentiment of the fishing interests here Is that
the agteemcnt between the United States and
Great Britain on the fisheries question Is
favorable to American Interest ? , There is
fear , however , that this will in the final ne
gotiations be used ns the entering wedge for
a reciprocity treaty.
