Dlalno and Sherman.
WASHINGTON , Juno 9. iSpeclal Telegram
to the BBK.I Thuro are a number of astute
politicians in both parties , and especially the
republican party here , who have kept a close
run of affairs connected with the Blaine and
Sherman presidential manipulation , who de
clare without reservation that there Is a com
pact between tbo managers of thcso two
statesmen by which the latter Is to receive
the nomination and the foimer bo premier of
the cabinet. They say that this is the secret
of Blalnu's European trip ; that ho really
wants Sherman to have the race , and KOCS
abroad to gl\e It to him. Several of the
most Intimate Blalna and Sherman boomers
have been seen together In Washington and
New York during the past fortnight , and
there are various facts which make this
theory very plausible.
The Dynamite Cruiser.
WASHINGTON , Juno 0. ( Special Tele
gram to the BKK. | Humors are In circula
tion hero to the effect that the Pneumatic
Gun company of New York Is not In condf-
tton to carry out Its contract respecting Its
dynamite cruiser. Secretary Whitney , how
ever , Is reported ns feeling easy about the
matter as the company's bond is within
nearly 8100,000 of the proposed cost of the
ship. The ship , If built , will be 240 feet long
over all , with an extreme breadth of 2CK feet
and draught of not less than 1 % feet. She Is
to bo built of steel. Is to b provided with en
gine , machinery and boilers complete , Is to
bo fully equipped and armed with three
pneumatic dynamite guns of 10' incb
calibre , and to be delivered to
the government complete and ready for ser
vice. The contract requires a speed of
twenty knots per hour , and that her guns
shall throw shells to contain 200 pounds of
dynamite , or other high explosive , nt least
one mile , each gun to be capable of being
discharged once In two minutes. The con
tract requires alee that the vessel shall bo
complete , equipped , armed and delivered to
the United States within twelve months ot
the date of the contract , about one-third of
which period has already expired. Exper
ienced ship builders express doubt as to the
ability of ( ho vessel to be completed to attain
thi required speed of twenty knots an hour
oven under the conditions prescribed for
trial , which are a measured mlle and smooth
water or at the option of contractor , a course
of ten or twelve miles In smooth water. Ord
nance officers , both ot the army nnd navy ,
do not regard the tests to which the pneu
matic dynamite gun has been subjected ns
by any means conclusive.
Ilancroft Busy.
WASHINGTON , June 9. [ Special Telegram
to tbo BBK. | I went up to see Mr. Bancroft
the other day nnd found him In his library
surrounded with eight type-writers , clicking
away as fast as tholr lingers could go. The
racket was such that conversation was not
only difficult but impossible , and when we
got down stairs I asked what was going on.
Mr. Bancroft explained that he was having
copied the papers which ho bad borrowed
from the widow of the late President
Folk on his recent trip to Nash
ville. He brought homo with him four
largo .trunks full of letters comprising
the official and most of the private
correspondence ot the Polk administration ,
a lot of records , memoranda nnd other papers
of great historical value , which he Is now
reading , classifying and having copied by
the eight Ueot-fiugercd girls who surround
him. Ho will write a History of the PolK ad
ministration , during which he was secretary
of the navy. He has reached that point In his
history of the United States , but for personal
reasons , and particularly because he thinks
Polk has not bad justice done him by other
historians , ho will pay particular attention to
that era. Mr. Bancroft has a mass of ma
terial covering the history of the republic to
date , collected and classified for the use ot
his literary executor , who ever ho may be ,
for he cannot expect to live to finish the work
he undertook over forty years ago , being
now over eighty-sown.
Lamar and the Supreme Bench.
WASHINGTON , Juno 9. ( Special Telegram
to the BKK. ] The president will , In all
probability , bo back at bis desk and ready foi
business on Monday morning. Those wbc
ought to know whereof they speak say thai
one ot the first ot his official acts will bo tc
BOO about a successor to Justice Wooda
Nearly every one In Washington has com *
to the conclusion that the position will b <
tcnaerod to Secretary Lamar and that thai
gentleman will bo the first democrat ap
pointed to the highest bench In the country ,
If the president so elects. No ono has ye
been able to l arn how Mr. Lamar woulc
receive the offer of the appointment If 1
should be tendered to him. Ills ImmediaU
friends are divided In opinion on the subject
but a number of them think that a place it
Iho judiciary Is more to his liking than an ]
administrative office could possibly be ant
that the appointment would be accepted.
Military Matters.
WASIIINGION , June 9. ( Special Telegran
to the BKE.J Lieutenant Albert D. Mlskern

that the two companies that have seen th
most service bo ordered here for rest , am
that the two companies will not bo from th
same regiment. Ho is not ready to rccoiu
mend an officer to command the fort.

committed suicide last week at Monte Carle
Monaco , Is supposed by tinny olllcers to b

infantry , who was dropped from the roll e
the army May 9 for deserting.
The houbat-Uelmont Trouble.
WASHINGTON , June 9. ( Special Tcl <
gram to the BKK. ] The racket between Mi
Loubat and Mr. August Belmont , crowlni
ut of thy scandal In tbo Union club ot Ne-
York some years ago , and which U no <
airltatlng all New York , makes luterestin
the fact that Mr. Turnbull , who caused th

A PROHIBITION PILL.
How n Maine Liquor Dealer Avoids
the State Law.
AUGUSTA , Me. , June 9. [ Special Tele
gram to the BEE. ] The prohibitory law of
Maine has just received a terrible set-back in
this vicinity , People are everywhere discus-
sin i : the new phase put upon the liquor ques
tion by tbe-recent action of Michael Burns ,
a well known liquor dealer of this city , who
has biought to Augusta from Liverpool a
large invoice of foreign distilled spirits
which he Is selling to all who wish to pur
chase. Ho closed bis shop In March and de
parted for Liverpool , where ho entered Into
negotiations with one of the largest Import
ing houses In that city for an unlimited sup
ply of all kinds of distilled spirits. The
United States protects all persons Importing
liquors from foreign countries from prosecu
tion under any state prohibitory law lor sellIng -
Ing such goods In original unbroken packages ,
and the dealer has landed In this city an ad
vance lot of Irish whisky and Jnmnlcn
rum. The goods camn through the Portland
custom house and arrived hern by freight.
When the goods reached the depot they
were loaded upon a eart and hauled through
the streets , the police looking upon the
scene with wildly staring eyes. It was un
usual to witness the trnnsportallon ot Honor
throughthe , town in broad daylight , and. of
course , It attracted great attention. The
store Is now stocked with goods , and they
are piled up In the windows before the ad
miring gaze of all the opponents of prohib
itory law. The retail price of the goods has
been made so low as to be within easy reach
of the purchasing public , and the sales have
already been very large. The officers are
surprised at the affair , and every lawyer In
town has been engaged In looking over the
law bearing upon the sale of Imported
liquors in original packages.

abused him and his family shamefully , and
finally hung him by the neck until nearly
dead. Yesterday afternoon an excited mes
senger from the same locality brought in the
news of another laree party who were boldly
entering houses and abusing the inmates.
Last nleht Captain Decoursoy , with a squad

Stopped By The Rain.
The game between the Omaha nnd St.
Joseph teams nt the association park yester
day afternoon was stopped by the rain at the
middle of the third innli'g. Tbo game prom
ised to be a repetition of the Tuesday slug
ging match. Bartson was In the pitcher's
box for Omaha , and was hit easily , the visit
ors piling up live runs In the first Inning.
Swift scored for the Omahas In the first In
ning and made a homo run In the second.
The visitors were blnnked In the second.
The Omahas had captured a goose-egg In the
i bird Inning , when the game was called on
account of the ruin. This gives the Omaha
club another postponed game and leases It
tied with St. Joe for the foot of the class.
The St. Joe team lea\o to-day for Denver.
Omaha and Topekas will play on the Omaha
grounds Saturday. Sunday and Monday.
LEAGUE GOSSIP.
Manager Goldsby of the Topekas has not
smiled since his giants were detealed in three
straight games at Denver.
Bartson has tbo making of a first-class
pitcher. He needs practice on curves and
accurate throwing.
Mackey , Iho pitcher who was sent out by
Spauldlng for the Omaha team , is in practice
and will be given a trial soon.
Some of the teams that have been playing
such remarkably irood ball for the past few
weeks give Indications of taking a back seat.
Lcavenworlh has released Dooms , their crack
jiltcher , who goes to Kansas Citv , and Beckley -
ley , their first baseman , who lias been secured
by Lincoln. It appears that the Leavcnworth
management has grown weary of paying
83,200 a month for players. It Is even ru
mored that the club's franchise Is to be sold
to Wichita.
The manager of the Omahas Is still search
ing for another pitcher. Ho offered Leaven-
worth 3500 for Dooms' release , but was ro-
tuscd : Kansas City paid 9700 tor him.
O'Lcary and Healer are both getting in eood
shape , and wilh a third man will be able to
do some good work. An attempt was made
to get the crack pitcher of tbo Savannah club
for the Omahas , but Denver was In first.
Several good men are "on the list , " however.
Denver Again a Winner.
DENVER , Colo. , June 9. ( Special Tele

admitted to the base ball park this afternoon
to witness the final , game ot the Denver-
Kansas City series. There were lots of la
dles and the grand stand was overcrowded
with the fair sex , who lent their npplauseand
encouragement to the visitors who , In spite
of this , were defeated by a score of 13 to 9.
As It was the last game with the "cowboys"
it was expected that there would be a close
ecore and some highly interesting playing ,
but It proved otherwise. In the first three
innings Denver scored ten runs and almost
succeeded In knocking ; McKim out of the
box. The visitors made a number ot brilliant
plays , among which a long running catch by
Hassamaear brought the greatest applause
from the spectators. Lllllo , in reaching for a
high fly , bad the third finger of his right
hand broken , thus adding another disabled
man to their already lone hospital list. The
Kansas City boys left tor Hastings to-night.

"He's nfrnld ot me. Oh , yes he Is , you can't

Men of Prominence Discuss Timely
and Important Questions.
FINDLAY , O. , Juno 9. The events of the
second day of the natural gns celebration
were of widespread Interest and Importance
and were witnessed by upwards ot 70,000
people. This evening a grand banquet was

persons were present. The after-dinner
speakers were Hon. John Sherman , Governor
Foraker and others. Senator Sherman and
Mr. Hals toad discussed between them the
salient points of industrial progress and the
timely question of capital and labor. Gover
nor Foraker's speech was In effect a resume
of one hundred years ot political and
financial progress. A paper road by
Professor Vail expounds a new theory upon
the permanency of natural gas , and ono that
promises to excite widespread discussion In
scientific circles. Professor Vnll armed
that oil and gas are a primitive distillation.
The earth , he thinks , was a molten
body , and in that stnto was a dis
tilling center in which carbon was necessarily
Involved , lie thinks nil forms of carbon In
digenous to the world Is now locked up in
the earth's crust save what animal and vege
table life produce. Ills conclusion Is that
the great source of supply of natural gas will
labt lor many centuries.
