NRW YORK , Juno 10. John Roach , who
built tt o dispatch loat Dolphin , and who has
been doing business under the name of John
Roach & Sonmado an assignment yesterday to
Geoigo W , Quintan ! , of this city , and George
L. Weed , of Stafford , Conn. The assignor
first directs that all wages and salaries o ! em
ployes bo paid , and then ho prefers ;
William Rowland , of Now Brunswick ,
N , J. For money loaned and for work and
labor done and material furnished , § 02,217 ,
Fc-a part ef this Rowland holds four promis
sory notes made by Mr. Roach. A promis
sory note made by assignor , boarnlg date of
Juno 10th. 1885 , and payable in throe months
for 520,000 , which waa discounted by the
Mechanics & Traders bank of Brooklyn , la
also preferred.
P. W. Goldando & Co. For monny loaned
and advanced to the extant of ? 20,000. which
was loaned about Juno 20th lout , 810,000 on
July 2nd , and $10,000 on the llth inst ,
The assignment then directs the payment
of all other debts and liabilities duo or to be
due , together with all Interest and mcnoy due ,
Including all lawful claims against Mr. Roach
by W. it. Pitney , Thomas F. Rowland , Jumoj
EdwatU , Gooriro W. Qulnlnrd nnd William
Rowland for Indemnity aud expenses and
liability incurred by them by renion of thcic
having been sureties , and having executed
bonds nt the instance of thu assignors and for
their benefit , upon certain contracts entered
into by the assignors on or about the month
of July , 1833 , with the United States , repre
sented by the secretary of the navy , for the
s eel eiuleore , known respectfully aa Boston ,
Atlanta and Chicago , nnd the difp&tch bent
Dolphin nnd the lawful cUinB of the ettato of
Levi ICerr against the assignors by Kerr , now
deceased , of certain of the bonds and ecu-
tracts.
Tha assignment was the chief topic of con
versation at tha clubs and theatres to-night.
Lightning out of a clear sky could not have
beun more unexpected than was the announce
roent that John Roach , s man who was con
sidered ouo of the richest shipbuilders in the
world , had failed. A club man whoso know !
edge of and intorestin public affairs has given
him wide acquaintance with tha leading bus
iness men ol the country , expressed himsoll
thus while talking with a reporter : ' 'Tho ' mi
nounccmcnt of the failure is indeed startling
to mo , as it undoubtedly will bo to thousand !
of people , but if you will stop and thiuk r
moment you will como to the eam <
conclusion as myself , namely : It i :
nothing moro than could bo expected undoi
the c remittance. Secretary Whitney's action
ia regard to tha Dolphin was the entering
wedpo which has torn Roach from his fiunn
cial moorings. The repeated trial trips of the
Dolphin ; adverse decision by members of the
examining board , and finally the decisions o :
the attorney-general that thn contracts hole
by Roach , authorizing him to build the foui
utccl crulscra now nearly completed in bis yarc
at Chester , are null and void , were enough tc
ruin any man. Roach has expended in th <
construction of these four vessels fifteen 01
twenty million dollars. Now ho finds he hai
on his hands some twenty million dollari
worth of iron-clads which the govcrnmenl
will not buy , Roach has undoubtedly made
large loans on the strength of his contract witl
the government which ho cannot now moot. '
The Tribune says that ouo cause of tin
Mslgnmoht ia eaid to bo that Roach is suffer
ing from heart disease and fatal results an
feared if ho continues to worry over the eupor
vision of his business. Hi ) attorney , Van
Pool , says the contracts for the remaininf
throe cruisers will bo carried out. The
Tribune adds : "Tho assignment fell heavily
upon the 800 men at the Morgan iron works
They were thrown out of employment. Thii
fate may extend to 1,700 others employed al
Cheater , Pa. "
This evening , Mr , Roach and his two eons
Gsrrott and Stephen , went to FlushingLonf
Island , where the family rqtides during thi
summer. Roach refused himself to calleri
during the evening , Garrett Roach said ir
behalf of his father : ' 'Father has nothing t <
eay. His physical health is such that ho i
crushed beneath the blow which has fallei
upou him. Ho will not see or talk with nny-
cno. Of one thing yon may rest assured , m
ono will over lese a dollar by him"
j A friend of Roach , thoroughly informed n
' to his financial condition , eaid : ' 'The asset
< undoubtedly are far larger than the liabilities
' Roach has an extremely extensive property ,
Ho haa been obliged to take this step bccmut
ol his health. Ho ia a remarkable man , am
ho haa fought a hard fight against a discorc
unknown to the world in general. I say hi
is a remarkable man , Ex-Socrotary Chan
dlcr him said that of him and ho considerei
Roach , although an uneducated man , wondnr
fully well informed and possessing clonr am
strong Ideas on all topics , especially thusi
witbin the ranco of his business txpotienco.
George W , Quiutard , ono of Roach's assign
oca , says : "The alleged fulhrro of tha Doi
phlu was a complete surprise to him am
seemed in eomo manner to rellict upon hi
honor. It pressed upon his mind MO that fo
the last six weeks hu bus not been considers
by his friends to ba in condition mentally U
conduct hia business. The adverse criticism
that have appeared from time to time In news
papers preyed upon his mind , Ho iin : become
como melancholy aud it has become nocessar ;
to have him closely watched , Hu couli
net fctay in his house. Two mei
one in front and tha other behind him , hnv
accompanied him wherever hu hiw gono. A
the government cUlms that it had no contrac
with him , there would bo the eamo troubl
with the rest of the thlps that there hai beei
with the Dolphin , so that nothing iu hi
judgment was left for him to do but turn hi
property over to his creditors , "
"What are hia assets and liabilities"
"That I cau't answer yet , aa no echcduli
haa been made up , but I believe hla asset
viill more than meet his liabilities. Road
hM turned over everything and la uenni.'esi '
Ho has not euvrd a cent , and I do blame hm
for it , In his long business experience lie ha.
not made any provision for his family , am
they , In common with him , have nothing. "

fleet of the Roash failure upon the govorr.3

LONO BRANCH , N. Y , , July 19. Chauncj
M. DePow , In n circle of business acquaint
ances last night , talked freely upon the finan
dal situation. Ho eaid that he would have
been glr ' if he had .is much confidence a
New Yx Central stock aa the public Lac ,
.npparcvitly In him for that stock bad gone u [
fotir'on points eicce ho was elected presiden
01 the Central road. Ho is very much puz
zled to account for thocontinued.doprosslono
business. He says the only way ho carf accoun
for it ia that capital ia an Idiot , Ho says that
thojo Is to-day every condition for fvorablc
investment , so much beyond anything known
in tha most fltnh period since the war , Wt
have , he thinks , gotten to the end of our fail
ures. People who have not bean able to meo
their indebtedness have already gene to the
wall , These who aru in business are in the
main out of debt. Kvcrv s Tt of trade it
down to hard nan baals. Teem are to-day in
the bulks of Now York S100.0CO OCOj of till/
perhaps , say § 30,000,000 , is drawing 1 pei
cent. The rest is drawing nrihing. There IE
probably twice the amount of this idle capita
in the outside banks of the country. Why
thia capital shndd ba idle ia ono of the
mysterioa of finance. There are plenty
good investments which nro safe and
secure , yet capital to-day hesitates to go into
anyttilng , while in our last ihuli period there
wai notliing too wild or idiotic for money to
rush Into. Ho repeated again that capita
wai an idiot , and that investors were goveinei
more by the condition ol the atmosphere am
of public feeling than they were by their own
judgment. .
John Pondlr , a prominent Wall sleet bro
ker , who had listened carefully to what Depow
eaid , pave M his explanation of the conssrvat
ism capital at the present time that the public
had been swindled aud robbed in Wall street
to such an extent that It wu ai atrald of good
securities .is of bad. Ho eaid that It was nol
too high to ssy that S < ; , OCO,000,000 of stock
had been wiped in the last three or four
years of the ttreett ThU enormous sum rep
resented just go much money taken out ol the
pocketi of the public. It wa > unreasonable
to expect that the pub'ic , after having such
great eurna ttolon from It in the last tnrep or

Depow in irply to this uiid ho considered

LONDON , July 19. The Russian scare ,
which sent down stocks with n run on Thu rs-
day , was duo ptoxlmatoly to the publication
of telegrams announcing a forward movement
of Gou. Komaroff's troops toward Xulfikar and
.ho retreat of the Englhh silicon ) upon Herat.
The diplomatic differences between the two
jovcrnmoiits araT.grave , but not now. Lord
jranvillo bad como to a deadlock with M ,
Do Gicrs befora leaving office , The situation
s perfectly simple , The ameer wants Xtilii-
tar , bcauso through this doQlo lies the road
to Herat. Russia agreed to abandon her
claim , an Imprudent ono at best , in return for
the cession of Penj'Ioh , Having got Ponjdoh ,
llussia triea to repudiate the bargain
n order to got Xulfikar , too. Russia
aays BQO never meant to surrender the hills to
the eastward of the valley. But thcto hills ,
iccording to Sir Peter Lumsdon and Condla
Stevens are essential to the military position
of the pM3 which is worthless without them ,
England has pledged herself to the ameer ,
who Insists upou the fuUfiUmentuf the pledge ,
The Russian demand has two objects :
1 To ascertain whether Lord Salisbury is
as "smieez3ablo"as Lord Granvlllo.
2To get rid of arbitration on tlio Fenjdeli
ncident. Da Giera has already intimated
that he is ready to come to terms about Xtilli
kar if Lord Salisbury will drop arbitration.
Salisbury at present ij disposed to convince
Russia that in his opinion England ha ? made
concessions enough. Continental opinion is
: nming Btoadily round to the Knglieh side.
The result , observers predicted as certain
whenever England adopted a firm attitude.
A similar change is noticeable respecting
Egypt. Negotiations are actively proceeding
with the prospect of a favorable .result for
the immediate issue of the loan of 9,000,000.
Sir Drummond Wolff hopes to arrive at Cairo
with money in his packet. Lord Grauville
liad abandoned hope of cariymp out the
financial convention before autumn.
The coalation batween the toriea and the
I'arnellites , seemingly Imperiled by Pnrnoll'd
motion for an inquiry into the conviction of
Maamtrasna murders , emerged from last
night's debate closer and mora open than
ever. Sir [ Michael Hicks-Beach , though re
fusing the parliamentary inquiry , pledged Lord
Carnarvon to re-open the whole case , and
declined to defend Lord Spancsr , whom the
Pnrnellitea accuse of cruelty and injustice.
Lord Randolph Churchill went further and
expressly condemned him. Both speeches
were wildly cheered by the Irish members ,
Healy was presently hoard complimenting the
Irish secretary. Many tories are disgusted ,
but Lord Randolph Churchill is redeeming his
pledge * ; . Sir William Uarcourt and Lord
llartlngtou vainly appealed to the govern
ment to not discredit the administration of
justice in Ireland. Mr. Chamberlain and Sir
Glmles Dilke quitted the house. Tha liberals
profess themselves as astonished at the cynical
repudiation by the toriea of every view on
Irish mattars they have heretofore expressed.
Lord Wolseley received an enthusiastic
welcome upon hla arrival in London on'.Tues-
day and took his seat in the house of lorda on
the conservative benches. The radicals anx
iously await the result of the consultation with
the mlnlttrry. No hint as to a change of
the military policy Is yet given. The troops
in Egypt are steadily withdrawing northwest.
Gladstone no longer appears In parliament.
lie addresses letters to his colieaguea which
they read rather aa if they
were royal messages. His doctor
has strictly forbidden his speaking and allows
the patient to converse only in whispers. Ho
promises that Mr. Gladstone's voice will bo
restored in a few weeks.
After the cabinet council this afternoon the
Marquis of Salisbury , Lord Iddesleigh , Sir
Stafford Northcoto , and Sir Michael Hicks ,
Beach Chancellor , ef the exchequer , held a
consultation at the foreign office with Baron
do Staal , tlis Russian ernbassador to London ,
It Is understood that the conference was on
the Afghan question , and it is stated that tbo
negotiation between the English and the Rus
sian governments for an amicable adjustment
ot the dispute are progressing in a perfectly
satisfactory manner ,
Mr. Candle , the special courier , who wan
sent by Sir Peter Lumsdcn , the chief of the
Afghan boundary commission , from Pendjsh
in time of the difficulty there to London to
give to the Gladstone ministry special information
mation concerning the Pond jell battle , was at
the foreign ollico during the state conference
there , and in fact all day.helping to oluoidate
the problem raised by the increauo ol the

bassador at St. Petersburg who was about to
Icavo the Russian capltol on n furlough to

to remain at hid post because
of the gravity of the AfRliau difficulty.
In ministerial circles no fear U entertained ol
an immediate quarrel with Russia. Notwith
standing this , however , measures for the de
fense of India are being constantly puphei !
forward. Gen. Stewart , commander-ln-chiol
In India , will , it ia aald , ho appointed to one

which case Lord Wolseloy will bo given the
chief command in India. Earl Dulferin vice
roy of India , ha issued on order prohibiting
the officers of the Indiun army who are on a
furlough from going to Cashmere , ostensibly
because to return there would bo difficult ant

Special Telepram to The BEK.
LONDON , July 10. Pitiful stories continue
to reach the Italian covornment concerning
the condition of the Italian troopa at Mass-
wah , The recent suicide of Col , Putti , com-
maudor of the Italian garrison there , was duo
to ennui and despair , and not to dellirium
caused by fever , as has been reported. He
saw sickness and death among the troops
daily increasing in spite of all the exo tions ot
tlio Burgeons end extra sanitary precautions.
At length he'becomes hopeless of the situation
of the troopa baing remedied , and took his own
life in the desperate hopa that such an act
might open the ayes of the home officials , and
: auao them to imitate the action of .the Eng
lish government by "scuttling out the Sou-
dan.1 It is reported that he frequently ad *
vised the Italian war minister to order the
return of the troops , but hla warnings were
unheeded. It ia now officially admitted that
10 per cent of the ooldlora at. Majsowah are
down with enteric fever ,
Ono writer Bays that not ir.oro than 25 per
cent of the men are able to respond to roll
call and one-half of these are suffering slightly
[ rom fever. The other 75 per cent nro in the
lioapltalc. Another writer says nearly all the
troops are suffering more or lepg from fever ,
and that the death rate Is fearful. The boat

THE SHYLOOK THICK" .
THE WAR SCARE STARTED BY A SYNDICATE OP
SPECULATORS ,
Special Telegram to the BEE ,
LONDON , July 10 Berlin papers have done
service for the whole world , which the London
press have been too blended by passion and
prejudice to do. They havs pricked the bub-
bio of tlio new scare abant tlio Anglo Russian
war. They show by Indisputable evidence
that the war like rumors and toloernms.thouph
coming from many different places , all eman
ate from ono source , and all are inspired by
ono set of conspiratorc , whoeo solo object Is
oDcculation. The erposure shows that the
headquarters of the conspiracy are at Berlin ,
but its scents are at work oa every house in
Europe. Forged accounts of hostile Russian
movements were telegraphed to London
papers and the pompous tone of the latter was
depended upon to furnish the rest. The con
spiracy was for a time wonderfully successful ,
The war scare was revived , Loudon papers
blustered in their usual fashion , many ques
tions were asked in parliament , and consols ,
Russian securities and Egyptian bonds were
subjected to shrinkage , which , In tha aggre
gate ninountod to millions of dollars. Most
of the members of tlio syndicate are believed

fought , when the referee gave the fight to
Hadloy on a foul by Thompson , who had
been warned by icfereo Cardiff against a rep
etition of fouling , which consisted in clinching
and throwing Hadloy over his opponent's
head , Thompson's eupcrior strength gave
him the advantage In the first three rounds ,
when the superior skill and hard hitting of
Hadloy began to tell and Thompson showed
flisns of being winded , In the last tworounds
Thompson ttood up to Inrd punishment with

MINNESOTA CALLS FOK A RIVER IJirHOVEHENT
CONVENTION.
ST. PAUL , Minn. , July 19. The following
call for a river convention at St. Paul on Sep
tember 3rd has been formulated by Gov ,
Hubbard :
"The present and future welfare and
prosperity of tha people of Minnesota , as well
as those of adjacent states and territories
which constitute the great producing part
of the continent , largely depends upon
the facilities and costs of transportation for
their products to the markets of
the world , Thin region is penetrated by
natural water routes , which , being properly
improved , would afford unlimited facilities
for transporting its enormous product at nomi
nal cost te every mart of the world. It has
long been thn settled policy and purpose of
the national government to improve all water
ways of the country in the interest of com
merce , both foreign and domestic. In pursu
ance thereof , there has already been au enor
mous amount of money , stated to approximate ;
8150,000,000 , expended in the imi rovemcnt of
the rivers and harbors of the country ,
the bulk of which has been expended in
the older states laud along the coast lines.
Such appropriations should bo made to apply
where relief is most needed , and it would
Boom that the policy of working on the ex
terior line should now glvo way to an internal
line policy of commeccinif where the com-
mtrcoof the country originates the center of
the continent and working outward ,
"Tho people of the upper Mississippi and
the Missouri , comprising the states ot Illi
nois , Missouri , Kansas , Nebraska , Iowa ,
Wisconsin , Minnesota and the territories of
Dakota and Montana , stand pre-eminently in
need of relief of exorbitant transportation
charges , which render production unprofitable
and the fruits of industry expensive to east
ern and foreign commerce ,
It ia therefore doemoJ wise and proper at
this time , that the paoplo of the northwest
now , producing the bulk of the natlpn's food ,
as well as exports , should formulate a most
earnest demand upon congress for such appro
priations of money an may bo toqulred to insure -
sure ot tbo earliest day practicable , the openIng -
Ing of our rivers to an untrnmineled commerce
to tide water. To this end it Is recommended
that a convention bo held composed of the
representatives of those states and territories ,
tholr commercial bodies and municipalities ,
Therefore , at the mutest of the chamber ol
commerce of tha city of St. Paul , and the
state commisilon on river Improvcmcmenta
I would announce that a convention will beheld
held in St. Paul on the 3d of September , 1885
I would especially request the governors of thi
states and territories named to attend
In person and aid in securing a full represen
tation of their states , commercial hodiea and
cities , and I cordially invite the senators am :
representatives in congress of these states and
territories to bo present and assist in tha work
of 'the convention The representation
deemed ftdvieablo is : For each state and ter

Cincinnati Enquirer that , the story of John R.
McLean's visit to Albany just after the elec

McLean's course in the Enquirer had been
eminently unsatisfactory to Cleveland. Mc
Lean was in New York with hi ] brido.
The rest of the story IB told In Mr. Clove-
land's own language , as repeated by
n democrat of national prominence to whom
he recently told it as follows ;
"I eat ona morning from Mr. McLean , a
telegram saving he would like to know If It
would bo agreeable for him to call. 1 an
swered it no. The Bomo day I was sstontsed
on having a card brought up to find that It
bore the names of Mr , and Mrs. John R.
McLean. There was a memorandum : 'To
day respects to Miss Cleveland. ' What could
a fellow do under such circumstamcee ? I had
them invited up. There were a number of
persons present , and Mr. McLean entered in
to conversation with them. What ho said
was directed mostly at mo though it was eaid
to others. I waa impelled to tlispleo the
sycophancy ho displayed , but for a lime I
said nothing. I bore myeolf stiffly toward
him. Ho told about how ho wasgoing to
make the Enquirer a red hot administration
paper from that time out. Ha was going to.buy
John Kelly's paper , the Star , ho said , and

that , Then ho began to make BOUIO Rngges-

NKW YORK , July 10. Nlnoty-fivo dcgrooa
in the sbado is not conducive to business
activity. The flurry In Wall street has lent ft
more cheerful fooling to general buslncia cir
cles , but this ia nil. The conditions of busi
ness are on the whclo unaltered , save that
with the lapse of time we are totting nearer
Lho date when there must bo a reaction toward
higher , if not high prices. It appears that
the outlook for week ) , until mid-autumn , Is
for n failure ecorpjrathor below last yoar's-btit
it wlllba above the same weeks of 1881) . This
should shut out all thought of anything like
n boom in tbo autumn , The signs have boon
multiplying that this year corresponds with
1S77 rather than with 1878. It is notu-
worthy that the Railroad Gazette , in sum
ming up the situation , points out that
so far as crops are concerned they are not
quite so likely to give us the prosperity that
they did a yoarngo. Tlio crops of 1881 did
not bring an active and prosperous trade , nntl
there is no reason to bellovo that those of IRSfi
will. They will do their part , so did those of
lait year. It was not because of a lack of
wheat , corn , cattle , or oven cotton that trade
was bad and railroad profits bad last year.
The readjustment of industries which follows
eo rapid and ono-sidod a growth as wa had
after 1879 and have had periodically
in this i country is imially a slow
proceia. It la commonly called growing
up to the now capacity for production. But If
wo have to wait for this many of us will got
discouraged. To have as many people per
mlloof railroad as we had in 1SSO , wo should
kayo to wait until about 1892 , and meanwhile
juild no railroads. Fortunately for them , not
many industries mcrnasod like the railroads
[ rom 1SSO to 1881. But there nro atill , doubt
less , not a few which are prepared to produce
yearly more than the country can possibly
consume1 , while it makes no more than the
avcrago progress , and as for the railroad * , be
yond nil question , there are too many of them.
The editor sums up by saying that aeido
from the comparative ellght results
of the settlement of the trunk line
innrrcl , ho "can BOO nothing
in the situation which indicated
that tha next twelve months will bo better for
railroads than the last twelve. "
Coming from a painstaking jcurn.il rfliich
speaks for the sober side of the railway case
the above must bo awarded n good < > eal of
bignificauce as showing how greatly business
is in a transition ntato.
Further facts regarding the extent to which
steel is supersoeding iron are in order. It ap
pears that at the present time the United
jtates ranks second . . ug'tho stool making
countries , the British occupying first place.
With the present activity in the building of
atael works in the United States it will not
ba long before this country will bo the loading
steel making country of the world , The sub

nencod , but it has made savage Inroads upon
