Cleveland's Visit to St. Ionls. WASHINGTON , Juno 6. iSpeclal Telegram to the BKI : . | Dopartmemt Commander lliirku , of the G. A. R. , speaking to-day of the adtatlon raised over the Invitation ex tended to President Cleveland to visit St. Louis at the time of the G. A. R. encamp ment , said : "It Is an Insult to the G. A. R. to say that It can or would Insult the president. The G. A. R. will not Insult the president nor permit any ono else to do It. " The G. A. R. , he said , was not a political organization. "Why , " he remarked , referring with a smile to himself , "tho department commander of this department Is a democrat and has been ono all his life. The man who Is now spoken of as the ono who will probably bo the next commandcr-in-chlcf Is a democrat 1 speak of General Slocum. Many ot the men that are the hardest hitters In the G. A. R. , who have done the hardest work and made the greatest sacrifices on behalf of the union Roldlcrs , their orphans and their widows , arc democrats. " Mr. Burke said that the invita tion to the president came from a committee of citizens of St. Louis , a committee that Included some G. A. R. men , but wore not acting for the G. A. K. Tlio president was invited to come there by citizens of St. Louis just as the G. A. R. had been Invited to hold their encampment there. Then the Hendrlcks club of St.Louis.a political organlzatlon.camo forward and undertook to arrange for a re ception to the president , and this started the trouble. The citizens' committee said that the occasion' was not ono for a polltlcaKtem- onstratlon. Stories were started that this visit of the president to St Louis was one for political effect There might have been some man In the G. A. R. who had made Indiscrete remarks , but the matter of the in vitation to tlm president was ono that the G. A. R. had nothing to do with at all. An Indian Dictionary. WAHIIINOTO.V , Juno 8. [ Special Tele gram to tlio lir.K. | A now contribution to the literature of Indian tribes Is a "Cheyenne History and Dictionary" prepared by Ben Clark , who has been for twenty years government Interpreter at Cheyenne and Arapahoe agency In Indian Territory. The manuscript has been placed In the hands of General Sheridan and probably will bo sub mitted to Prof. Powell , of the bureau of ethnology , for examination. In a report to Sheridan Lleutcnent Durvall , after making some ciltlcisuis of Clark's treatment of some subjects , says of the dictionary proper : " 1 have counted the words dellnexl In the dictionary nnd found them to be 4,855 in 'Cheyenne English2b98 in English Chey enne and 114 In the list of rivers , etc. , In all nearly 8,000. Clark has shown himself a natural born lexicographer. The fact that ho alone has been able to tabulate nearly eight thousand words , all the meanings of which have been observed and noted by him self , he having no predecessor , of Itself shows what a persistent worker ho has been. His definitions are singularly clear. " Empire State Politics. W AsitiNOTON , June & [ Special Telegram to the BEE. ) Representative Mcrrlman , a Cleveland democrat from Now York , Is hero and predicts a great many things good for the present administration. He says there Is very little political talk In New York just now , but that there Is a very bitter fight going on quietly among New York republicans over Sherman and Bfalno. The Blalne men and Sherman men are struggling pretty hard for supremacy and It Is causing quite a commo tion In Inner circles , thougn they keep up an external appearance of serenity. Ho says it is hard to Judge what will bo the outcome , but that It looks now as If Cleveland would bo the democratic candidate in 1889. He did not know whether Hill would bo n candidate for the nomination or not. There Is a differ ence of opinion among his friends. Some say ho will be a candidate and will get the Now York delegation : others of his close friends say ho will not bo a candidate at all. Speaking of the outlook in congress during the com I ni : session he says that bethinks there will bo u reduction of the revenue tnls winter. Ho thinks that the tobacco tax will bo repealed and that there will be some con cessions made nnd a reduction ol the tariff. Military Matters. WASHINGTON , Juno 8. [ Special Teleeram to the BKP..J First Lieutenant Dlllard 11. Clark , Fifteenth infantry , ( recently regi mental quartoi master ) , has been ordered to join Ills company , A , at Fort Randall , Da kota. Lieutenant Roger B. Bryan , Second cav alry , has been ordered from Fort Walla Walla , Washington territory , to duty with troop I ( Captain Hamilton's ) , at Fort Sher man ( old Fort Cocur d'Alene ) , Idaho. He belongs to troop F ( Captain Swlgert's ) Army leaves : Second Lieutenant P. H. CI ante , Tenth cavalry , has been granted four months' extension on leave on account of sickness ; Captain Henry C , Ward , Sixteenth Infantry , has been granted five months' leave ; First Lieutenant J. P. Mackley , Third cavalry , has been granted six months' leave on account of sickness : Major Francis S. Dodge , paymaster , twenty days from June 8 ; First L lotitenaut Albert Todd , First artillery , one month. Army turlomilis : Hospital Steward Her man Neuolslck , Fort Walla Walla , ten months ; Farrier James E. Harris , troop B , Ninth cavalry , four months ; Private James Forbes , company I , Second Infantry , tour months to BO abroad : Private Patrick Dona- hoe , band. Eighth Infantry , four months ; Private John Lyons , company A , Fifteenth Infantry , six months from July 1 to go abroad ; Private Henry Fricks , company 1 , Nineteenth Infantry , four months to o abroad. It was decided to-day that two companies of cavalry shall bo per manently stationed at Fort Meyers , near hero. It lias not been settled what com panics shall bo ordered there , uor when , but tlm much-vexed question of what use to make of Fort Myers has been definitely settled. The fort has remained , since It was aban doned last summer , as a tchoolof instruction for the signal servlcr.but It has been occupied by a few soldiers from Washington barracks for the purpose of protecting property. The secretary of war was for a long time unde cided as to what use to make of the post. General Sheridan strongly recommended that the capital of the nation should be pro vided with cavalry In order that that branch of the service should be represented In many parades and official ceremonies that are apt to take nlace horn. Others , however , were in favor of making Fort Myers Into an artillery school , and U was not until to-day that the question was finally decided In favor of the cavalry. While nothing further has been de termined upon , it Is but natural to suppose that Major James Blddloof the .Sixth cavalry , who was appointed comuundAr of the post under the present administration , and served but a short time before It was abandoned , will be again stationed there under the new arrangements , and will bo placed In com mand nf a couple of companies nt this regi ment which will probably bo brought from Colorado. This , however , is only conjecture. W. H. Green , the only colored man In the slicnal service , nan be n dismissed ( without characterou ) the charge of being acoutirmed gambler. A.

The discussion if the bills for the defense of Belgian neu- rallty by fortifications of the Meuse valley , vus continued In the house of rcprcscnta- , lves to-day.

Several other members rejected the Idea of England abandoning Belgium. Ono went he length of saying , Incorrectly no doubt , hat the reason why Randolph Churchill was ompclled to resign was that the English cabinet would not abandon the Idea of pro- cell ng Belgium when attacked. The dis cussion of the bill will probably last until he end of the present week at least. The Anglo-English Convention. CONSTANTINOPLE , Juno 8.

[ Special Telegram to the BKK.I A sensation has been pro duced here by the announcement that Alex ander D. Brown , the oldest son of the late Gcorgo Brown , of the banking house of Alex ander Brown & Sons , had begun proceedings to divorce his wife , Laura J. Brown , on the ground of unfaithfulness to her marriage vow. The marriage took place on August 7 , IbSO. The Brown family are among the wealthiest and most aristocratic In Balti more and are well known at Newport and other fashionable resorts. George Brown , father of the plaintiff In the present sultdcd ! In 1WJ , leaving an estate of several millions. Us widow , Mrs. Isabella Brown , built a magnificent Brown memorial church In this Ity. Alexander D. Brown married Laura lobson , the most notorious woman In Balti more and keeper ot the largest of disorderly muses of this city. At the time of the mar- lago tlm woman's beauty was fading and lie held her own mainly by her audacity In keeping herselt before the public. Brown was a widower , past middle life. Immedi ately after the announcement of the mar riage Brown's motherwho was then at Newport - port , made a codicil to her will making his son by the former wife heir and leaving the iewly made bridegroom nothing. He had i large estate under his father's will , however , Including the family homestead , called "Brookllan Woods , " in Baltimore county , probably the most attractive country seat near Baltimore. Hero be and his wife retired , receiving the companions of her past life , and he , apparently , not heeding the social oblivion to which he was consigned. His unme did not come before the public again until a year ago when he opposed the paitltlon of the estate ot his father under the will of his mother. The courts hold that the will was good , and that his share should cote to his son. On the bill for divorce tiled , Brown chorees his wife with unfaithfulness with Henry Rice Turnbull , a well-known In surance broker of good family connection , and with William Priest , Mrs. Brown's coachman , a good-looking fellow. The hus band has obtained an Injunction restraining his wife from using his credit , alleging that she has threatened him financially. The Track of a Flood. JOHNSTOWN , Pa. , June 8. The flood yes- erday was caused by a water spout west of Hooversville , Somerset county. That village was entirely under water. Bridges above there were carried off , and the Kernvillo bridge was totally destroyed. The bridec at loopersville and Van Lumen's was entirely swept away. At Ilooversvlllo upwards of twenty residences were washed off their foundation and deposited on the ground. At least one hundred families in this town lost everything In the lower story and cellars of their houses. The seenu to-day after the water subsided is ono of demoralization and ruin. In Grubbtown , Morrillvllle , Conemaugh Bor ough. Mlnersvllle , Cambria City and Cooper- dale the same scone Is presented and It Is es timated that 300 people are temporarily home less. No estimate can yet been made of the damage , but ills estimated that It will reach SlW.oOO In this vicinity alone. No lives lost as far as Known. Mrs. J. D.

[ Special Telegram to the IJKE.J A special from Washington says : Pension Commissioner Black's friends have let out a few things about his western trip that are causing some amusement That the commissioner went to further his vlco-presi- lentlal boom everyone knows , but everyone did not know bow he was going to do it The secret Is now out General Black had charged himself with replying to Senator Sherman's Springfield speech. Ho proposed to take the whole burden of defending the democratic party on his own shoulders. To this end , It Is statedho had written to friends In Illinois , telling them , In the strictest con fidence , the mission Wlilch he had under taken , and asking them to make the neces sary arrangements for a spontaneous call for Black. Ho expected to deliver himself of his reply to Sherman at Springfield , and It Is hoped that the democrats at the state capital will not let slip the chance to hear his era tion. It Is said , by the commissioner's friends , to be a master-niece which will make John Sherman wish John C. Black find never been born. But opinions are apt to dlflcr on such things , and the commissioner's tiiends , who are In the vice-presidential movement may bo color blind Natural < ? as Celebration. FINDLAY , O. , June 8.
