THE OMAHA DAILY BEE FIFTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA , MONDAY MORNING , JULY 13 , 1885. NO 20 GARLAND'S CHIME. It is Played lo thbTimc of Whitney's ' Plaintive SIDE , John Eoaoh is Pljueathed Com plete Title to the Dolphini The Attorney-Gcncm ! Ilolils Tlint the Oontrnct It Forfeited and tlio Govorninont Can Itccovor. THE DOI/L'IIIN OA E. OAKLAND HUSTAIKS WHITNEY. WASHINGTON , July 12. Attorney General Garland has rendered n decision on the three points relative to the acceptance of the Dolphin phin by tha government , submitted to him by Secretary Whitney. The attorney general holds that tha vessel cannot bo accepted ; that no contract cxitta between John Roach and the governmnt , and that the largo sum of money paid to him for the vessel may bo recovered. Garland Bays : "This vessel , you inform me , has been found to be defective in throe particulars , two of which arc fundamental , that is to say : " 1 She does not develop the power and speed which the contract caills for. " 2 She Is not staunch and stiff enough for tbo Borvico expected of her. " 3 The general character of her workman ship does not como.up to the requirements of tbo contract. "As to dolict in the article of speed the act of congress under which tha vessel was built makes an appropriation for the construction of ono dispatch boat as recommended by the ' naval advlsary board in the report of De cember 20,1882 , Upon reference to that ro- prrt it will be found the board recommended tha constitution of ono dispatch vessel or clipper to have a sea speed of fifteen knots nnd I take it as very clear that the recom mendation became by force of the reference to it in much a part of the statute as though it had been recited therein word for word. The contract contains no express covenant ai to the speed of the vessel unloaa ono is neces sarily involved In the stipulation for a collect ive indicated horse-power of 2,300 , but its very first covenant is 'to construct a dispatch boat in conformity with the aforesaid plans and specifications hereto annexed nnd in accordance with the provisions of the acts of conerosi as approved August 6th , and March 3rd , 1883 , respectfully before ( mentioned and relating thereto and I am of the opinion that this covenant bound the contractors as effectively to make a ship of Bea epeod of fifteen knots ns though ho had agreed to do BO in express words , " The Dolphin not being constituted in _ con formity with the act of congress in this rc- epoct , the attorney-general assorts that it would Boem to follow that nothing short of nn * act of congress could authorize her acceptance Next considqrinr the objection that the ves sel is wanting in necessary strength and stiff ness , the attorney general says , "If this de fect exist , as 1 must as sumo , it is fatal , whether duo to the plans upon which the vessel was built or not , because by the ninth clause of the contract tha contractor and his sureties ttipulato that the vessel constructed under this contract shall bo sufficiently strong to carry the armament , equipment , coal , stores and machinery prescribed by the naval advisory board. " Further codsldoring this point the attorney- general remarks : "Manifestly , the Dolphin , v which I am bound to assume in view of the f report accompanlng your communications , If anything but sufficiently strong cannot for this reason alone bo accepted by yon under the contract , the defect mentioned being fundimental in character. As to whether the government has been in any way estopped by acts of acqulesenco , approval , or acceptance by the advisory board or others , I am of the opinion that the government stands unaffected by any such acts. This must be the case necessarily if the law authorizing the btuldina of the dispatch boat is to nave effect. Its language Is that no such vessel shall bo accepted unless completed in strict conformity with the contract , with the advice and assistance of tha naval advleery board. Consequently no acceptance of the vessel , net built in strict conformity with the contract could bind the government. Continuing at considerable length and citing prominent cases in support of his argument Garland concludes : "It follows that no con tract exists between Roach and the United Stater , and the large sums of money which have been paid Roach have passed into his possession wttdout authority of law , and are held by him as BO much money hold and received to the use of the United States and may bo recovered from him. And not only so but the money thus paid him by of ficials holding a fiduciary relation to the gov ernment having gone into the ship Dolphin a court of equity will follow it there nnd for that purpaso entertain o proceeding against the ship itoolf , la support of this position I need do no more than cite a recent decision of the supreme court of the United States in tha case of the national bank ve. insurance company. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. CONSULAR APPOINTMENTS DEKERROD SPAIN'S SPUNK IS UP NOTES , Special Telegram to The BEE. WASHINGTON , July 12. Those gentlemen wha are watching and praying for consular appointment * are not likely , except in very exceptional cases , to obtain the coveted prizjj until autumn , Tha family affliction which > has vieitod Secootary Bayard , the shadows of which nro deepening into a funeral pall , will prevent him from doing much for tha re lief of aspirants for foreign appointments for Bsmotlme. In tha mean time , the president wi'l ' turn his back upon Washington and oflico- Bookers about August 1 , and will not return until the first days in September , so that va rious clerks charged with the preparation of appointment papers and commissions mil have ample time to catch up and get rested fur the fall and winter campaign. The ap pointments thin far made iu tha foreign ser vice have not reduced the number of applica tions. Indeed , for eveiy appointment that has been made , a score of additional applica tions have boon received , so that tbo number of applications now on file Is not far from ton thousand. It is said that Col. John W. Foster , who represents this government in Spain , has failed to negotiate the second commercial treaty between that country and tbo United States. Ho is expected to return home at an early date. Foster was sent to Spain two months ape with Instructions to negotiate a new commercial treaty iu place of the ono he had proviouily negotiated , and which was coniidered by the senate. The proposed new treaty , as agreed to by the now admin istration did not differ greatly from the first treaty , The charges made were in the interests of the butioess men of this country and were principally In rehtion to tobacco. The Spanish officials have not looked favorably upon a second treaty. The minuter of foreign affairs especially was in disposed to negotiate. Ho intimated that the first treaty should have had final contid' oration by the senate either ratified or re jected and not withdrawn before final I action was taken. Under the circumstances the government ojuld uot consider the negotia tions. tions.Mr Mr , Stevenson , the now first attUtant post- roaster-general has been compelled to revive tha rule practiced by his predecessor limiting the time for recelvling visitor * to hour * be tween 10 and 13 dally , Tha adoption of this course secures u opportunity to attend to tha business of the office. Since Stevenson Hsumed the duties he has been at his desk almost every night until midnight , Tbe re mit ofihis labors Is apparent in the great in crease In the numbsr of fourth das * pastculee appointments now averaging above one hundred per day , There is n disposition on the part of cabinet officers to discontlnuo the allowance of sick leaves tinder pay to employes in the depart ments. An impression prevails that serious abuses have grown up in connection with the allowance of such loaves , and It Is believed that the system shonld bo rearranged so as to enable a distribution among worthy employes who are working extra hours in addition to rendering service through out the year , of the money that is now paid out during sick leaves to that class of em ployes who lose many days , sometimes ac ceding 160 in each year from alleged dlsablll- T. It is probable that thcso views may take practical effect in a general order governing the allowance of leaves in all executive departments. Admiral Jouott , who has boon in the vicini ty of Panama for the past threa months , has been ordered north with the remaining vessels sent to tbo iethrmn at the beginning ot the recent trouble * . The officers and crow have been suffering from sickness. Brigadier Gen. John Gibbon has boon as signed to the command of tha department of the Columbia and ordered to Vancouver bar racks. Secretary Endlcottloft Washtneton tonlpht for New York to bo in attendance to-morrow at the meeting in that city of the board ap pointed to examine the means of defense for the cruntry and to report concerning addi tional fortifications. The Columbian minister at Washington , re ceived to-day a telegram from Bogota announcing - nouncing that the robals of Barrlnguilln , per sisting in a determination to ascend the Mng- dalona river , hai been completely routed at Calamar , Their fleet of sixteen vessels suf- rcred considerable damage through the explo sion of one which was laden with ammunition. Almost all the revolutionary leaders are sup posed to have boon killed or seriously wound ed. It is believed the explosion was caused by a shot from the government troops , Secretary Whitney sent on order to Cap tain Kirksland , of the New York navy yard , providing for the appointment of a board to conduct an examination of [ persons applying appointment to various foremansbips in the yard. Accompanying the order Is a letter In which tbo secretary desires to impress upon the captain the necessity of peed , thorough workmen , and sajs in impor tant casesho ( the secretary ) , will give all necessary personal attention to them , and continues by saying : "It is idle to expect liberal approprlatsons for the navy yard work unless a great change is made in tha character of the foremen ap pointed. " IIo also cays he desires a new force appointed and expects , for very good cause , an exceptional record in the navy yard , IIo shall not appoint a foreman whoso habits have been formed through the navy yard work of recent years. Secretary Endicott to-day ordered throereg- Iments ofcavalry and the Fourth * infantry , a total force of nearly throe thousand men , to proceed at once to the vicinity of Fort Reno , Indian Territory , from their present Stations in the departments of Texas and the Platte. This will make the force about four thousand men In the territory. FOUGHT FOll A OIRti , EIQIIT ROUNDS WITH BARE KNUCKLES BETWEEN RIVAL LOVERS. EVANBVILLE , Ind. , July 12. Evonsville is inclined to bo somewhat of a sleepy town , nl ways taking an interest In sporting news , but not attempting to encourage anything of that character In her midst. The news , therefore , that a fight with bare knuckles was to take place just beyond her borders created no llt- tlo excitement among the lovers of tha manly art and numerous were the attempts to get pointers regarding the place of meeting , but those initiated fought eby of giving information fearing police interference. The night owls and rounders may have been mystlhed early yesterday morning by meeting several couples and trios of men sauntralng out First street on route for Green River island , where the fight between Charles Harding and James Townsend , to settle the ripht to the band and heart of Miss Sadie Corning , a country belle , took place , There were perhaps about twenty-five parsons in the crowd. About a mile aud a half from the city the party were joined by the principals , each accompanied by a few friends. After a count of noses , to be sura that no uninvited and unwelcome officers were present , tha party entered their 'busses , which were in attendance , and drove rapidly up the river. At 2:30 : Green River island was reached and in a few moments more several skiffs were on ronto for the eceno of the mill. The site selected is densely wooded and proved an admirable place for the slugging match. The fight , recording to articles of agreement , signed in this city on Wednesday last , was for the heart and hand of Miss Sadie Corning , to whom both had boon paying attentions , and was to last to n finish , A twelve-foot ring was pitched and all pre \ liminaries made , and at 4:10 : the men took positions in the ring , HankRoberts seconded Hardlncr , and Billy Taylor attended to Town- send. The refcreo was a noted local sporting man , Harding tipped the beam at 120 pounds , while Towusond was a triile heavier. At 4:15 time waa called , First round Both men came up rapidly , bat sparred awkwardly and cautiously , each seeming to dread the first blow. Finally Harding got m a neat blow on Townsend s "smeller" and escaped a return , Townsend lot 30 his right , but fell short and received a right bander in the face that statrgered him , He recovered rapidly and made a rush , catching Harding on the right eye , which sent the latter ontho ropes. Both uion clinched , and tune was called. Second round The sesond round was marked by some quick , hard work and half- arm fighting , in which Townsend had decid edly tha bast of It , Harding was rapidly los ing his temper , and inclined to try a rough- and-tumble bout. A series of clutctes en sued , and both men went down. Third round Harding was slightly groggy and pulling hard , nnd acted solely on the de fensive. Townsend fonght desperately , and caught Harding heavily on the left eye with out a response , and followed with a lick on the right optic , closing it up entirely , and then with n rush , knocked Harding clear across tha ring. Fourth rouud In the fourth round Harding had recovered himself slightly , and did some wicked work , catching Townsend on the head and getting in some hard and terrific blows on the neck , iacoand cheat. The men clinched and were ordered to their corners , Fifth round When the fifth round began it was uncertain who would win , though Towneend was the favorite , Harding opened by n terrific drive in Townsend's face , follow ing it up with an upper cut , catching him under the chin and erndlng him to the ropes , Sixth round Tbo eixth round w j but a repetition of the hot and heavy work of the previous rounds. Herding seeming to cot stronger as the fight proceeded nnd striking sorro wicked and terrible blows. Seventh round Townsond'd face began to look smashed out of all semblance to a human and when tbo eighth round was called he staggered up from his corner unsteadily aud struck blindly and wildly , In the entire round he failed to reach Harding , who , bow- ever , forced tbo fighting aud got in a quick , hard blow on Townsend'a neck , felling him Ilka an ox and ending the figbt. It was fully half an hour before the van quished man could bo taken from the grounds. Both men were badly punished and were any. thing but beauties to look upon. The party returned to tbo city about 1 o'clock , in tba same manner in which they left it , Harding and Townsend going to their farms with their friends to doctor np. Herding says that as soon as he can tee out of his right eye he will claim bis bride , so bravely won , and thinks Tcwnsend will consent to bo his best man , and Evansville , having had n Usto of the manly art , now howli for more.

AS EHA OP CONCILIATION. Special Telegram to The BEE. LONDON , July 12. This hai been a week of true ; . Lord Salisbury justified the anticipa tion of bis friends , who predicted that ho would astonish the ountry by his modera tion. His statement in the house of lords on Monday extorted deserved enconiums from his opponents by its dignity , good sense and good will to all the world , and by the complete - ploto absence of bluster and menaces. It re assured foreign powers by the acknowledg ment of tbo obligation of the new ministry to fullfill all the pledges of the old ministry. What ho said about Russia is regarded as an implied apology for the recent offensive lan guage. Ho has convinced Europe that no obstacle is now likely to retard the final agreement between Russia and England. His euology on the khedive made honorable amends for Lord Randolph Churchill's heedless invectives in former days and silenced cur rent rumors that this minority meant to de pose Towfik and restore Ismail , His admis sion that it is now too iato to rcceivo the policy of abandonment of the Soudan quiets the radical fears of n return of the English troopj southward , Lord Salisbury contented himself with generalities on both the main questions of foreign policy , pleading want of time to take definite decisions. Ilia tone on domestic affairs waa equally sedative. Ho repudiated with humorous indignation the suggestion that the ministry wanted to postpone the general election. The effect of thcso declarations coma out clearly in Gladstone's speech on the following night in the house of commons , nominally in reply to Sir Michael Hicks-Beach , but really as a comment on Lord Salisbury's moro authorltive deliverance. Ho confirmed all that Lord Salisbury said about English pledges to the ameer and pledges from Russia to abandon its claims to Xulfikar pass. Gladstone - stone believes that there Is a serious difference between himself and Lord Salisbury even about Egypt , Gladstone expressed surprise at Lord Carnarvon's confidence in bis ability to govern Ireland without those valuable and equitable provisions of the crimes act , which the liberals intended to re-enact. He chatTed the Tories with having enlisted Farnell's help which the liberals had been un able to secure but wished them Godspeed in their career. Ho renewed his promise to support the government in every wise , effort. Lord Randolph Churchill evidently taken by surprise , offered the acknowledgements of the ministry for Mr. Gladstone's considerate oven magnanimous treatment , Everything han since gone smoothly , The house agreed to the proposal to crivo the ministry all the nights but Friday , The con viction is general that them will be no further conflict in the commons , both parties prefer ring to appeal directly to the country. Sir Wilfred LawRon'a proposed vote of censure of the ministry was laughed out of the house. Lord Carnarvon's announcement on Monday in the house of lords that there would bo no moro coercion , preceded by twenty four hours hia state entry in Dublin , and insured him cordial welcome. He catries out to a letter his pledge to trust to tbo Irish people , dispensing with police and military and police escorts in his walks and drives about Dublin. This courageous faith produces the qest impression that conciliation is the order of the day , the tories as usual trumping the liberal cord. Mr. Phelps * latest pablto appearance was at luncheon as tbo guest of the government of Dulwich college , to meet the president and council of the royal academy. Ho made an obviously Impromptu speech , which delighted tha company by its ease , wit anil good feeling. Gladstone will not acquiesce in the decision to drop tbe crofters bill. Ho will urge tha passage of the bill this session , GENEU.UI FOREIGN NEWS. AFFAIRS IN ANAM. PARIS , July 11.

A PRINCE'S DEPRAVED DEBAUCH , LONDON , July 12. The Telegraph prints n Berlin letter saying that a certain prince , age 35 , a near relative of Emporer William nnd Bon of ono of the heroes of the French war , after an entertainment with compinions at the omporor'u chateau near Berlin , supped at Hills in Berlin , The company there sang and shouted and throw bottles through the window j.

No doubt there is chol era in the sonth of France. The maml is that the authorities bavo been so long able to support the knowledge of the fact , At Mar- seillei , so it is reported , there bavo bion seventy case * in Camp Pas da Lancleri and fifty cases have been sent to the hospital at Aix , This statement may perhaps ba exag gerated bat tha fact is , orders have been is sued for tbo camp to be struck on Monday , Nothing further bos been heard from Car cassonne but it Beema Impossible that an out break can be stayed off another week Three suspicious deaths occurred at Marseilles yesterday.

Iu an inter view with the governor he informed the latter that the government to-day also withdrew permiision given to him. Dr. Fer ran says , he will leave Spain. It Is believed that the government's action is dua to Dr , Ferran'a strange treat ment of foreign doctors. It is thought that Dr. Ferran will write to Paris that he made no secret ef bis system and denying that he made any charge for inosculation.

A correspondent cabling from Ems says of tlio German kaiser : "At present the emperor is stronger , moro active , aud robust than any man of his ago I know of. His plans are now to leave Ems In a few days for Gastevin , and ifas is proba ble , tha emperor of Austria comes to that neighborhood , the two emperors will meet each other aa uaual. I have soon and been near the crnporor every day for the last fortnight , and notice the steady , continued improvement in his health and strength. This morning I stood within three feet of tha emperor as his majesty took his usual walk in Karhaus gardens , llo wore o tall silk lint of tbo latest London form , with very narrow rim , black frock coat unbuttoned , wjtn a crape band on tha left sleeve , white waist coat , black and _ blue striped fcarf , with n plain gold pin in it ; loose , gray trous ers ; largo , comfortable shoes , and carried a stout walking stick. Fifty little girls , from twelve to sixteen years old , crowded about him with boquots of corn flowers. The emperor chucked a pretty little blonde maiden under the chin , pulled her car gently , took her bo- quot. and , with a pleasant Einile said , , , 'Ach 1 wlo schoen I' "Tho emperor'ajmovomonts are bright , quick nnd elastic. He jumps out of hU htile iron ctmp bedstead every morning at 0 o'clock , drinks his dose of mineral water , and then takes a cold shower bath , At 7 ho takes a cup of coffee , boiled egg , roll of buttered bread , and strawberries.

IN GENEltAL TRADE. A DKrnESSINQ ODTLOOK , Special Telegram to The BKE. NEW Yonic , July 12. A further increase ot thosurphis of Idle money held by Now York banks lends Interest to the statistics of some previous years when something like high water mark was reached. Currency baa been moving from the interior during the week while disbursments by the government nud on account of corporate dividends and interests have helped to swell the accumulation. The state surplus is now nearly $01,000,000 against $23,853,000 on the corresponding date in ISSi , and 88G17COO in 188 , ' ! . A week ago the excess over the legal limit was SC1.G07.000. It is worthy of noting that in January , 1S34 , the proportion money to deposits was over thirty-nine per cent. Bear ing this comparison in mind , it should bo noted that whllo the present reserves are unprecedented , the state of things at ono or two previous dates nro not far behind , while the reserves further accumulated , revealing no fondness for investment on the part of the general pnblic , tha Wall street bulls have bean having things much their own way. The rlso of prices has/been mainly based upon a bettor prospect of settling the trunk line difficulties , The managers of thcso lines give ovldcnco of moro energy than for months past in trying to effect a settlement. They see clearly that somosort of a treaty of peace must be found soon , as otherwise the public will bo likely to conclude that the situation has pasted per manently beyond their control. It would not do to lot such n conclusion gain credence , as oven the present low range of prices largely rests on the belief that the trunk line man- ngeia think peace can ba made and prices sent up at almost any time. Thii seaboard markets are at latt Will stocked with now wools. Manufaoturers now have desirable accumulations to select from. This has stimulated the demand to some extent - tent , and holders.aro pretty firm. AB a rule , the purchases have boon so far in the producers favor. The strength of the trade in the in terior appears to ba duo In part to speculation ; in part to thb activity of some manufacturers in making direct purchases , jand [ in part to a widespread oonvictlon that wool Is to-day aa low as it can be for any length of time , while the present clip is in tbo market. TICKLED BY GHOVEB. HOADLT AND THE UNION PACIEI Special Telegram to The BEE. CINCINNATI , O. , July 11. Learner V. Harrison , president of the First national bank of this city , received a telegram from Gov- Hoadly at Columbus , asking him If he would consent to use his name for the position of government director of the Union Pacific , the position which was declined by Noyes , There Is little if any doubt that Harrison will accept. He is a liberal republican , and there is not likely to arise the general howl that , met the appointment of Noyes.

D3G BOLD IE US DISAFFECTED , YOUNG DUCKS WHO ARE WELL ARMED CAUSE THE PRESENT TROUBLE , Special Telegram to The BEE , KANSAS CITY , Mo , , July 12 , The Hon. Newton R. Childs returned yesterday from a trip to the Indinn.terrltory. Ho eaid that the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians bad never been disarmed , and as they were possessed of plenty of Winchester rifles , would prove troublesome if a general outbreak should occur. Colonel Dyer , the agent at Darlington , ho continued , has for a long ; ( time feared trouble If the Indiana were not deprived oE their arras , and in bis last report to the de partment of tko interior asked for ICOO ! troops. Soon after his report was submitted , the Indians heard of it , and thinking that nn effort would ba mode to disarm them , they assumed a belligerent attitude nnd oven went so far as to threaten hia life. Col. Dyer , how ever , was firm in his determination to bavo the "dog soldiers , " as the young bucks are termed , disarmed , and when the troopj began to gather at Fort Houo , the disaffected Indians commenced to leaving the agency in email bands for the pur pose ot hiding their arms and ammunition , and it is thojo small bodioj of dUrruntlcd young men of the tribes who are ousing the present troubles , The Indians have evidently been too cunning to lose their arms , nnd when tlio troops get ready to disarm them they will discover that their rifles and ammunition are not to bo found , The probability of their being disarmed aid the Insufficiency of rations are probably the principal causes that have led to the recent outbreak , I did not hear of any corious depredations In the territory thus far , and clo _ not fear any general uprising , as the dissatisfaction is con- nnod almost wholly to Wolf Roba'a band of Choyonnes , and any depredations made will ba the work of email marauding bands and not an organized outbreak.
