The Governorship Canvass. Dts MOINES , la. , Juno : (0. ( [ Special to TUB I3iE. ] The probability of Governor Larra- bco being a candidatu for re-election seems increasing. Certain events in the last two weeks have shaped in that direction , and It is not unlikely that his friends will muko an effort to tmvn him renomlnatcd. IIo will not bo n candidate In the sense of making a fight for the nomination , but some of his closest friends say that ho will have to bo reuomi- nated , and they expect that the convention will bo willing to take him ui nftnr balloting a few times for the other candidates. It is noted that while the governor has been re ported many times as saying that ho would not bo u candidate for ronomlnution , yet there has not appeared a single authorized interview announcing that ho would refuse a ronomlnutiou if It were offered him. It Is believed also by many that the in tention of the governor's closest friends is.to . have his candidacy for re election as governor prepare the way for his election to the senate next winter to succeed Allison. They say that If re-elected as governor , the campaign will bo fought on his platform of railway control. That would necessarily sot the pare for the legislative trotters , und n legislature would be elected in harmony with his Ideas , and the most natural thing for It to do , they say , would bo to elect him to the senate , to continue there the work which ho has done in Iowa. It Is stated that the latest slate is to keep thu governor In the back ground until the con vention meets , then nominate him for gov ernor , pot the support of the Hutchison men by the assurance that ho shall bo lieutenant governor , and succeed to the governorship ou the election of Larrabco us senator. There is good reason for believing that this will bo tlo | programme of the anti-monopoly forces \ this summer. Out of lolt. DBS MOINUS , la. , Juno 80. [ Special to TUB I3BB.1 The state of Iowa is now practically out of debt. The call for the last outstand ing warrants has expired , and interest on them has ceased.

The last call was for $95,000 , and this was'tho ' last end of the .floating Indebtedness which two or three years upo reached nearly $1,000,000. The state's outstanding debt , in this instance , stood for value received , so that It was In every way an honorabledebt. . The state-of Iowa lias a peed deal to show for this last debt. It hax n now insane ho pltnl nt Clarinda , two now wings to the hos pital nt Mount Pleasant , an addition to the buildings at ttio hospital at Independence , now buildings at various state institutions and other repairs and improvements that speak tor themselves. The debt was simply the alternative of suuplylnp urgent state nouda f at once , or letting public Interest suffer until the money would accumulate In the treasury to pay for them. It Is not u case of tvustoful and extravagant expenditures , or of dis honesty nnd bad management. It is simply a ruse of meeting wants by appropriations which had to bu supplied to some extent by thu slate's promise to pay , rather than its cash ih Hand. Hut every citizen of Iowa fools glad that the state bus now Its elegant capital completed and paid for , its score of state Institutions , charitable , penal and In dustrial , comfortably provided for , nnd not u dollar of indebtedness charpcd up ugalnst it.

Whllo I have no doubt of grand results soon to be obtained from develop ments now in progress in the various fields , where fine prospects surely exist , capitalists seeking for profitable investment should first visit the Shoshone basin and see for them selves what practical development already proves , that this section Is destined to bo one of the greatest oil producing fleUU of the United States.

[ Special Telegram to Tin ; Br.n.J European speculators are watching with deep concern the current of gold that every week passes out of the Uni ted States Into Trans-Atlantic vaults. Moro than 30,000,000 In gold has neon exported since thu ilrst of the year. For n time local operators boasted that the weekly shipment of cold was without appreciable effect on the stock list , but the distinct turn in the temper of the speculation that sot In ou Friday was evidently the result 01 what is rapidly becoming - coming u significant drain on the supply of' specie. In the opinion of certain English economists the continued export of gold from this country Is partly the result of the mone tary policy of the states on ono hand and of Europe on the other. "If this view should turn out to bo correct" adds the authority In hand , "It behooves every business man to carefully watch the further development of events In Now York. " J.

Poor Showing or the United States nt the PnrlH Exposition. tCopj/rfahf ISWtiiiJam'j ( lortfon OennstU ] LOS-DON , Juno 80. [ Now York Herald Cable Special to Tun UEfi.1 The Paris ex position , particularly the exhibit made by the United States , Las received scathing criticism from M. H. DoYoung , editor nnd proprietor of the San Francisco Chronicle. "Tho exposition as a whole , " ho said to a Herald reporter , "is , without doubt , the grandest thin ? of the kind the world has over seen. It enables a person virtually to co around the world In a few days that is , to see the inhabitants of nearly every country , their dress manners , houses , style of living , wares , manufactures , production , amuse ments , and ncarlv everything to bo seen , The cxperlenco Is extended to travel except the natural scenery and climate. But there Is much criticism. In the first place , the manifest purpose of the French government thus far has boon to make the opositiou one of the French nation nnd Its colonies. They absorb the great majority of space , enjoy exceptional privileges and ac commodations. Other nations have had ex hibits admitted merely In order to glvo the exposition the character of n world-mado affair. Most of the prizes and diplomas nro being awarded to Franco and its colonies. The purpose has evidently been to create the Impression that Franco is far and away ahead of other nt.tlons. The United States exhibit is ridiculous for a country of Its size , standing and resources. Thofault lies with the government commissioners. Not ono ot them appeared nt Paris two weeks before the exposition opened. Before that they had only two or three clerks there and were hoodwinked ami played rlpht and loft by the Frenchmen. The United States has no building there nt all. TJio Ar gentine Republic has a significant ono and many nations not a tenth of tire importance of the United States have line buildings and creditable exhibits. The United States ex hibit Is In the main building and occuuics only about two-thirds the space which Bel gium has. Our government appropriated a quarter of a million dollars for Its exhibit. I would not like to charpo that any of the money has been dishonestly used , but ntn freu to say that It has been very Injudiciously expended. Ono of the first things the com missioners did was to rent u ilno house for $00,000 and settle down in it with their fami lies. A great deal of money has been eaten up in salaries. The commissioners say a great deal of money was spent In collecting a display of cereals. It would not do a country fair very great credit. A llttlo glass case six feet lonp holds the whole of our wine exhibit. California ulono wanted to appropriate $50- 000 for the exhibit of wine and fruit produc tions , butthough I applied for space last Jan uary , I was refused. The States boast of hav ing moro miles of railroad than all the rest of the world , yet the exhibit in that line em braces ono refrigerator car , the sawed-off end of a freight car and a little locomotive ono can see over , shows homo Improvement , but It is a mere toy. France , England , Belgium and oven Switzerland make railway rolling stock exhibits which uro incompara bly better than ours. Mexico and outh American countries throw us far into the shade with their exhibits. The States ex hibit is simply ridiculous. JUSTICE ON THE HIGH SlSAS. A Gambler Tried Hy Jury on Board the Etrnrla.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special to Tin : BEE. ] An unpar alleled incident disturbed the even equanimi ty of the Etrurhv on her last voyage across the Atlantic , and 000 passengers who landed from her at Liverpool to-day narrate an ex traordinary experience. Among the cabin passengers wore Mr. B. , of Now York , a fruit merchant of Spanish extraction , und Mr. E. , an Egyptian , who represented himself as manager of u Now York insurance ofllco. Early in the voyage the couple be came acquainted , and , at the suggestion of Mr. E. , began a friendly rubber nt whist. Before the game was over Mr. B. was some 15 poorer than when ho sat down , but , to retrieve his losses , readily assented to the Egyptians further offer to play a small game of baccarrat. The Egyptian won hand over list , and , desplto the remon strances of friends and disinterested spectators , the fruit merchant kept playing until ho had lost every penny ho had with him , u sum of about 100. Ho then accused Mr. E. of cheating and a row forthwith ensued. A duel not being prac ticable , it was suggested that a regular court , with an improvised Judge , Jury and counsel bo convened and the matter arbitrated in that manner. A certain colonel of Spring field , Mass. , was chosen judge , a well-known Chicago lawyer , who earned fame In connection with the anarchist trial , agreed to act as gratuitous counsel for the plaintiff , the fruit dealer. A promi nent Philadelphia lawyer defended the Egyp tian. tian.Before Before commencing the trial the Judge hi- slstcd that the amount in dispute , on both sides bo put Into the court , and , on the Egyptian demurring , was hissed and hooted out of the smoking room , but was eventually brought back by throe specially appointed passengers. The Jury was then formally appointed , the Egyptian challenging several , and the trial entered upon. From luncheon time until 11 o'clock at night the inquiry lasted , and then the Jury retired to consider the case. After awhllo they brought back tholr ver dict , la which they found the charge of cheat ing not proven , and no uionoy was duo from cither party to the other. Mr. E. , however , was rigidly boycotted during the rest of the voyage , and loft the vessel the moment she arrived at Qucetistown. HAYTIEN MATTERS. Illppolyto Marching HH | Men ou I'ori-an-l'rlnce.

Wat son , principal of the Valparaiso schools , and W. E. Fairbanks , principal of the Weston schools , are the onjy ones who seem to want to start 1U the race for the sui > erintcudcr.cy. For county commissioner , the republicans have J. C. Brownoll , a young man .from ' Morse Bluffs.-wh'oas a good business man and well qualified for the place. "AlsoJ. D.

Knapp , of Cedar Blurts , woll'to-do farmer and stock raiser is u ' - , men tioned with favor. On the democratic side M. C. Fisher , the present incumbent , and John Lcmkuhl will try for the empty honor of representing Saunders county democracy in the race for commissioner. For representative from the Twenty- seventh district to fill the vacancy occasioned by Hon. G. W. Shephard's removal to Fro- utont , T. L. Adams , of Mead , a retired farmer nnd ono of the wheel-horses of repub licanism in this county , is favorably men tioned. For coroner and surveyor Dr. Ira G. Stone and W. W. Alt respectively will bo renoml- natcd and elected without opposition. The light In this county this fall will bo on the treasurer , register of deeds , county clerk and superintendent. For county Judge , Hon. O. C. Tarpenninp , the present incumbent , will undoubtedly bo renomlnatcd by the republicans , as ho has had but ono term. IIo Is an excellent Judge and possesses great political strength. The democrats have thus far no candidate for this office and probably will not have , as they have no one qualified for the place who will ncceut the empty honor of being a candi date. Saunders county is republican by 500 ma jority , und If the campaign is properly man aged every candidate on the ticket can bo elected , but factional lights have for the lust four years caused strife and lack of unity , nnd has resulted in dividing the spoils with the democrats. It has nlso been the policy of the democratic party to wait till after the republican convention before holding their own , and then put up men to run against the weakest men on the republican ticket , and put up men on the balance of their ticket to trade , thus concentrating all their efforts on a small part of their ticket , and often with success. By nominating competent and pop ular men the republicans can sweep the platter - tor clean. Tlio Day nt. lu-ntrloc. UnATiuci : , Nob. , Juno 30.

[ Special Tele- pram to Till ? Bun. ] A sensation is reported from the Standing Koch Indian agency , the chief participants being Mrs. C. Wilder , of Newark , N. J. , nud Sitting Hull , the great Sioux chief. Sitting Hull has many ad mirers , and among them numbers Mrs. \Vlldcr. During Sitting Hull's recent Illness she visited him at his camp , and when he re covered Btiflictently to travel she made ar rangements with him to convey her in his wagon from Standing Hock to the Hoscbud agency. As It Is against the rules for thu Indians to leave their reservation without permission , a person to whom Mrs. Wilder told of her contract with Silting Bull sug gested that she had better see Agent Mc- Lauphlin. She acted upon the suggestion , and McLaughliu informed her that ho could not permit Sitting Hull to go about from one reservation to another , nud positively re fused to have the wily old chief accompany her to Hosebud. No sooner had the agent refused than Mrs. Wilder flow Into n rage and declared her intention to sec her political friends In Washington and sccuro Major McLaiighlin's removal. Those who came from Standing Hock state that she used thu most scathing and abusive language to the major , and accused him of using the Indians as prisoners. So abtisive and threat ening was her language that the agent posi tively ordered her to lenvo the rcservullpn. Mrs. Wilder Is a widow , ana visiting the res ervation. . She is a great admirer of Sitting Hull , and it is posslp nmong.people in the vicinity of the agcifcy that she isjictuully in iovo with the cunning old warrior. Agent McLaughlin's position in the matter is un questionably right , especially at this time , us Sitting Hull would surely prove a disturbing element at the lower agency during the con ference of the commissioners ou thcquestion of opening the reservation.

In the mean time the policy of the pension ofllcot catalf lishcd by Mr. Tanner Is buhig malututnoii'ia , his absence exactly us It was when ho wf hern. The commissioner began his dutlcn " ' \ ! ' upon tlio theory that the pension lawn were * / enacted for the benefit of the men who' * > fought for thn union , nnd not for the benefit * " t.i , of the legal fraternity. With this Idea I * ; ) view ho has simplified the Issue of pensions ; ; " > * " to a considerable extent , and ho has suc- " cccdcd In getting rid of a great many cases. ' which had been pending for years. This' was done , too , without Jeopardizing the In terests of the government nnH with the maintenance of all the necessary safeguards around the public funds. A wall known" democratic attorney of this city , who has'a. great deal of business at the pension ofllce , said this evening : ' ' "I am disgusted with these who have been heaping abuse upon the head of Commissioner' Tanner. Ho Is ono of the most faithful offi cers in the service of the government and treats everyone with the utmost courtesy nnd without rcfcrcia'c to his politics. My practice brines mo into close contact with many of tlio heads of departments ot the gov ernment nud I can say I have never found a more efliclent , man in one of these depart ments than the present commissioner of pen sions. I know , too , that the work of the office Is not only quickly performed , but that , the best Interests of tlio' govern men t are ns. well cared for as are the Interests of the gov ernment creditors. The fact Is that it has- come to bo considered the proper thing for every chief of a government department to- defraud every person to whom the government is indebted. It Is a fact that needs no proof that _ - congress considers the men who suffered in * * limb or in health In defense of thu union as- creditors of the government. Mr Tanner has just brought Into the administration of the pension office the methods which ho would use In thu conduct of any legitimate private business. Ho has tried to aid the creditors while protecting the debtor from unjust claims. H is just as difficult to fret "a " shaky claim through tlio pension olllco to-day ns It woulu bo to crowd a similar claim through any other department of the gotf- eminent.

" ' It is the general Impression that tlieso ' nlaCQS. will be lllled this week. There is'a growing belief that tlio princip.il one of tlio twotha rccordership of deeds , will bo L'lvon taVa colored man. Ono rcr.son why tins olllco Is looked upon as one of the perquisites Of the colored race , Is that the appointment ol Frederick Douglass to that office by tbo republicans was followed by the appoint- tncnt of Matthews to the same plnco by Cleveland. Upon the rejection of Mat thews' nomination by the senate , on the ground of non-residence , Mr. Cleveland ap pointed another non-resident colored man In the person of Mr. Trotter , of Boston , who still holds the oflicc. There. haVe been tv great many applications for this p'.noo from * - , all sections of thu country , hut a resident of , . - iivst the district will doubtless be appointed , and vst if a colored man Is appointed tho1 chances , are that it will bo Prof. James M. Gregory , of the Howard university. This pantlomuu has all the necessary qualifications for the place and the general cup- port of the colored republicans of the better class of the city of Washington. A story was started against him this week : to the effect that ho had applied for thosamo ofllco during the administration of Mr. Cleveland and that ho had sided with tha democratic party during the last campaign. Prof. Gregory has proved conclusively that , ho did not apply for the place to Mr. Cleve land , and his loyalty to the republican party is assured by the fact that ho has had in his possession n letter from Chairman Hustonnf the republican committee In Indiana , acknowledging his offer to make speeches for General Harrison amonp the boosters. Hla friends think ho is sure of the appointment , SMALL liOlli : ECONOMV. Usually at the beginning of n nuwofiscal .vein- there are a prcat many additions to tup- liiix of clprks und other employes of the gov ernment. This was particularly true four years ape when the republican outgoing ofllcials asked congress to provide adequate- increases in the clerical force of the various , departments In order that the incoming democratic ofllcials might not be hampered In the least. One of the appointment clerks , said to-night that there will be a smaller per cent of increase in the number of clerks cm- . ployed In the civil service to-morrow than there lias been .it any time before r.t the bor [ pinning of n new fiscal year , for the past ( twenty years. The reason is that although ftlio estimates originally prepared for submission - 4 [ mission to congress last summer , provided. Wor many Increases , the estimates wero" * ; Changed before congress met and af or the Officials then In olllco found , that the political character of tlio administration was to bo changed. This was doubtless done for the purpose of hampering the work of tbo re publican officials to as proat a degree as . * possible and for the additional purpose otT' cutting down to the minimum the number of. ' ( places which would bo available for republi can clerks. The scheme Is a petty ono. but - it is within the direct Una of statesmanship- followed by many of the small bora econo mists on the democratic side of the political fence , " Till ! IUVTIGN MISSION. Some surprise was expressed among the Initiated that Secretary Hlalne changed Ins plans nt the last moment and reeora * mended the appointment of Mr. Fred Douglass ns minister to Huyti. It Is known to a few that the secretary of state has he en thinking for some time of ap pointing to tills position a gentleman thor oughly trained In the school tit diplomacy , This would , of necessity , have meant the ap pointment of u white man to the place. The reason of his departing from the usual cus tom in filling this particular mission , which has come to bo regarded us belonging to the colored race , wan due to the acsiro of tha department to necuro from an absolutely ro llablo and Impartial source the true slate- , inent of the situation of affairs In the rcvo- lutlon , ridden republic. Up to thu present time all the information obtained has been secured through Minister Preston. whose judgment might naturally ba warped in favor of the Legitlma side of ttio story , It was belloyed bv Secrt- tary Hlalno that any colored man who might" bo appointed , no mutter how honest his aa > sires might bo , would bo n less efficient judge of the true situation than some on * ' whoso training had been such as to pivo him a keener perception of affairs diplomatic.
