Special to TUB linn.1 Yesterday's sitting
In tlio chamber was again of nn agitated
nature in consequence of Incidents provoked
by tlio Botilanglst group. The sitting was
inugh shorter than usual , Laguerro having ,
DS It wore , glued himself to the- tribune and
stubhornly refused to builgo an Inch , despite
the Injunction of tlio president and tlio fact
that tlio chambers passed the vote Intended
to demonstrate that It speech was human ,
sllcnca wiw alvlno. Lapuorro , being very
human , tlio president put on his hat , which ,
of course , closed the sitting and afforded the
Houlanglsls tlio satisfaction of feeling that if
they can not put an end to parliamentarism ,
they at least are able to prevent the regular
working of the regime. M. Molina gave evl-
dcnco of a deep fund of patience and long
suffering.
Under conditions very analogous to these
of yesterday , Gambctta , when presiding over
the cnatnbcr , ordered 13nudry Ualson , who
refused to leave his scat regardless
of the vote ot temporary exclusion , to
ho removed by forcn.and the obstinate deputy
was ovun shut up for a few hours in the
black liolo destined for members whoso conduct -
duct leave 110 room for Improvement. Meas
ures of so severe a choractor were not em
ployed towards ILaguorro. The president of
tlio chamber preferred to leave htm in pos
session of the ground rather than take the
trouble of ousting him. M. Meltne was
probably of the opinion that scenes of tu
mult and violence had been sufficiently fre
quent in the legislative nrcna and thot it was
superfluous to afford the already Jaded pub-
llo the spectacle of n hand-to-
hand struggle between Laguerro and
the ushers , or soldiers , who would have
been entrusted with the task of turning him
out. Lnguerre and his friends , moreover ,
would not have failed to make much ado
about the matter , pose as victims , and make
protests loud and deep against a violation of
parliamentary inviolability. This Justified
Mil Mclino's abstention from the extreme
measures placed at his disposal by the rules
of the house. Furthermore , Laguorro and
his companions In misfortune are forbidden
entrance to the chamber for fifteen days , he-
fora the expiration of which term the session
'Will ' most likely conclude.
This fresh incident demonstrates once
again huw indespcnsablo it is that the cham
ber should bo dissolved as speedily as possi
ble. No one contests this least ot all , per
haps , these senators who are making1 nil the
haste they can with the budget. In one day
they finished half the budget dealing with
national oxpopditurcs , and expect to treat
the budget receipts with the same expedi
tion. The estimates will accordingly bo re
turned to the lower housa during the course
of the day , and it Is expected that by tno end
of the current week all will bo over , and
that the curtain will fall on the parliament
of 1885-S'J nuxt Saturday ,
It is true that scenes such as these which
succeed one another almost without inter
ruption in the Palais Bourbon are Qrcatly
Injurious tottie parliamentary system of gov
ernment. The Doulanglsts are not acting
without a purpose. The provocation of all
these serndals Is a part of their tactics. They
metaphorically wring hands and tear hair
ever these disorders , while in reality profitIng -
' * Ing by and creating them. '

PAIIIS , July 11. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to THIS Ben.lAccordlng to
tlio latest advices it Is probable that the
Fironch legislature will not confirm the pur
chase by the government of Millet's "An-
CeluB , " at the Sccrctan sale , which was
knocked down to the roprcscntatlvo of the
minister of fine arts for 553,000 francs , after a
b id of over half a million by Americans de
sirous to buy. The probable consequence
will he that the Corcoran art gallery or other
American association will bo allowed to so-
euro the prize at the purchase price , plus a
substantial commission to the Intermediate
agent. All know that Millet's talent was
flist rccopnUcd in America , but. is it not
running things into the ground
to pay 20OCO for a painting ,
however meritorious , of the dismal
school of which Millet Is a prototype. From
n strictly artistic point of view , as distinct
from the Millet mania , the painting is worth
perhaps 10,000 or 12,000 francs on Its own
merits , and no tf by what seems to bo very
like artful dealing the well known blind en
thusiasm of Americans for Millet's works
has been played upon to the tuna of some
quarter of a million francs more than the
plctnra would iiuva fetched hoa It been loft
to boiui fide bidders American and others
in th" } auction room.

LONDON , July 11. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tun BuE.l It has been
more than once Intimated on tno part of the
government and sovereign that there has
been no fear of producing an account of ex
penditures us regards the list During the
rolgfl of her majesty It has boon the custom
to keep close und nccuruto accounts , and she
has given her consent to tlio production of
them accounts from her accession down to
the present period. It will bo shown whether
tboro has been any saving and whether
thuro has been an excess of expenditures on
various items in the civil list , The result of
this disclosure , it Is thought , will effectively
llcnco that section ot the radical party
Which has denounced the queen for
hoarding largo sums of money out
of the civil list , and it Is ex
pected that It will prove that her
majesty bus rendered most generous assist
ance to nil the members of her family who
Yvero lu ncod of It.
On Monday the committee on royal grants
Will hold its first meeting , and all that has
bseu di inunUciiby ; the radical party und nioro
will then bo conceded. It 1 $ understood , it is
eu'J ' , that the time has come when an end
hould bo put to the extravagance of the
attack * which have been made upon the sov-
rrclun's account. Tlio supposed enormous
Ktulth which she has acquired , the demands
for the production of her will , for instance ,
which bovo coino of late from various radi
cal newspapers , have been of the most olTen-
IYO dctcrlpiieu , ttud it wa probably felt
by the majority ot her advisers that the best
way to treat them was to disclose the whole
state of her majesty's means , although her
wilt remains , of course , her own property ,
Just as Is the will of the humblest subject.

THE PRESIDEVTS ADJOUHN.
AVhltc-AVIticert Pence Again Itrooils
Over the Situation.
Cnicuoo , July 11. [ Special Telegram to
THE BBK. ] The presidents of the Inter
state Commerce Hallway association have a
happy faculty of fooling sensation mongers.
To-day's proceedings presented the climax.
The conference between the presidents and
the Burlington & Northern was held , and
white-winged pcaco broods over the roads.
The following resolution shows the senti
ment which prevailed ;
Resolved , That the lines interested In the
St. Puul and Minneapolis tnifllc be requested
to at once open negotiations through the
northwestern division of the Western
Freight nsstciatlon wltn their eastern con
nections , with a view to make such Joint
tariffs and rates between all points reached
by the Canadian routes and lake routes as
Miull meat , any and all rates made by said
Canadian and lake routes ; that In the opin
ion of this committee , by reason of lake and
Canadian con-petition , a dissimilarity of cir
cumstances and conditions exists which
Justifies the meeting of lake and canal com
petition , regardless of intermediate rates.
In brief , the resolution is perfectly In ac
cord with the Burlington & Northern posi
tion that lake and rail and Canadian com
petition must bo met by all the rail lines. Be
fore the resolution passed assurances wore
received from the central traflic and trunk
line roads that they would co-operato in the
movement.
This settlement of the northwestern situa
tion takes away all danger to the situation
from the St. Paul roads. It practically
makes the Burlington & Northern a member
of the association , and thcro Is no reason ex
cept tlio slteht additional expense to keou It
trom joining.
The southwestern situation , presenting the
complications of the Alton's cut in the stock
and dressed beef rates , and the notice of the
Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas City to put in n
low commodity tariff to the Missouri , was re
ferred to a permanent committee , consisting
of the presidents of the Kansas City lines ,
with full power to net. The meeting ad
journed subject to the call of the chairman.
G. A. K. Hates.
CHICAGO , July 11. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BEE. ] The trunk , central traffic and
western states' passenger association lines
have absolutely refused to grant the rate of
n cent a mile , asked by the Grand Army of

encampment. The decision will cither break
up the annual encampment or Keep the ma-
Jorjty of veterans away.
Freight KiitcH ItcRtorjid.
NEW YonK , July 11. A Joint committee of
eastern and western lines , including the
New England railroads , had a meeting this
morning at" the office of the trunk lines.
Freight rates wora restored on everything
except corn to a basis of 25 cents per 100
pounds from Chicago to. New York , with
corresponding rates from other points of
greater or less distance , the restoration to
take place on tlio 22d of July. Kates on
corn will continue on the 2u cent basis on all
lines , subject to ten days' notice of advance.
It Was rumored on Wall street just before
the close that the differential claimed by the
Baltimore < Ss Ohio had been allowed.
Tno change was also ordered in the classi
fication of wool by which the minimum
amount per car load , subject to charges , was
reduced from 10,000 to 10,000 pounds. This
reduction was brought about by the Grand
Trunk , of Cuuaua , and was approved by
Commissioner Bluncbard. An application to
rcduco the minimum weight of live stocic
wus referred to the officers of the Joint execu
tive committee for a vote and official de

Political Ambition.
SIODX FALLS , S.D. , July 11. [ Special Tele
gram to THE UEB.I This evening 1 discov
ered the extent of the political ambition of
the delegates to the convention , In the way
of Increasing the legislative districts. Tholr
ambition Is not unreasonable. At present
the constitution provides that thcro shall ho
ninety-nine members of the lower and thirty-
nine of the upper house of the legislature.
The limit is ICO representatives , nnd forty-
cirjht senators. The convention Is composed
largely of young men , and It was bollovod
that they would demand the full limit tno
constitution will allow. The committee on
legislative and Judicial apportionment is
ready to report that thcro shall bo a senator
for every 1,800 , voters , and a mem
ber of the lower house for every
COO voters. This gives 40 senators and 130
representative ! ! , considerably under the
limit. Thcro are fifty organized counties In
South Dakota. Since there ore twenty-five
members of the committee having this ques
tion In charge , they will have their report
before the convention shortly , unless there
Is a split lu the committee.
When the convention mot this afternoon ,
the question of referring the constitution to
the various committees , article by article nnd
section by section , which question yesterday
created RO much of u furore , was settled
without friction , nnd the reference of the
document to committees was promptly com
pleted.
Efforts were then made to instruct the
committee ns to what their action should bo.
Two resolutions were offered , both intended
to prevent any but the four or five well-
understood amendments being offered from
the committees. Ono proposed to toll the
committees Just what they could do to make
the constitution conform to the omnibus bill
passed < > y congress , and the other directed
the committees to indicate to the convention
what changes they believed were necessary
In order to make the constitution conform to
the law of congress. Both propositions
were promptly voted down. There were
ominous shakes of the head ns the
delegates talked of bridling the commltte ,
nnd it soon became evident that no ono or no
ono element , even with the best , of intentions
In view , could prevent tno regular original
order ol proceeding being followed.
The delegates are not In a hurry In any
event. There was a long and heated debate
over u memorial directed to President Harrison
risen , requesting that ho have suspended all
action on mineral and coal claims entered
upon school claims in South Dakota till the
state is admitted to the union. It was con
tended that there are many fraudulent claims
set up to get possession of valuable school
lands , and that until South Dakota becomes
a state she has no way of defending her
rights in the premises. Delegates fought
vigorously , holding that it was In the same
line as the infaaous proceedings of the late
land commissioner , Sparks , who punished
nnd outraged the innocent to delect the
guilty. The more Sparks was abused the
greater the convention was pleased , and yet
the memorial was adopted by a vote of 30 to
M. It will po to the president nnd. it is bo-
llovcd , will have tlio effect of suspending all
claims located on school lands till probably
the end of this year.
Hundreds of errors In the grammatical
construction of the constitution as it now
stands and the orthography and punctuation
were reported and referred to a committee.
The ministers of South Dakota , by me
morial , asked that the selection of the capi
tal be determined at a special election and at
the time the ether questions are submitted ,
on the 1st of next October.
A bill of rights was presented , In which It
was provided that the lands of non-rcsidontH
bo taxed on the same basis as those
belonging to rcsldr .its of the state.
A lot of other and frivolous
propositions were made and the bill closed
with the ridiculous provision that to change
this article the consent of the people of the
United States must bo procured. This
proved the ll.v in the syrup , and the bill became -
came the butt of all Jokes.
The session to-day was long and tedious ,
and final adjourn mcnt was given a back
set. The session will last into August ,
when the campaign for nominations for
state officers will be raging. The republican
convention will bo hold at Huron on the
28th prox. PsiiuY S. HEATH.
Tlio lilamarck Convention.
BifMAiisic , N. D. , July 11. [ Special Tele
gram to THE BEB.J After a three days' va
cation , taken for the purpose of giving Pres
ident Fauchor an opportunity to name his
committees , the constitutional convention of
North Dakota reassembled hero to-day. The
appointment of the committees gives bettor
satisfaction than was expected. The chair
manship of the Judiciary committee is given
to Judge Curland , the most distinguished
democrat lu the convention , and the demo
crats are given representation on many ot
the other committees. The railroad people
are not very well pleased with the chairman
of tbo committee on corporations , this having
bcnn given to M. N. Johnson , an enthusi
astic farmers' alliance man , and who for
several years has been at war with the
Manitoba road. However , the railroads have
friends on the committee and feel confident
that before the convention finally passes
upon their interests conservatism will pre
vail. The chairmanship of tbo committee
on temperance is given to Haughen , of
Grand Forks , and ns ho Is a prohibitionist
the committee will bo managed lu the inter
est of the drys.
During tlio prooeodlngs to-day Governor
Mclletto , who Is tbo last governor of the ter
ritory of Dakota , was called upon to address
the convention. Ho spoke particularly of
the purification of the ballot. Ho believed
that this constitutional convention should
take a long und conspicuous stride forward
In this direction , und suggested that the
man who would sell his vote , either ns o
private citizen or us a member ot the legisla
ture , should bo disfranchised forever after ,
so that It would bo Impossible for him to re
peat the pficnso. Ho would Inflict the same
penalty upon the man who purchased the
vote.
O There Is n strong sentiment In the conven
tion in favor of tno onc-houso legislature.
The agitation In favor of abolishing the
upper house has been in progress but a few
weeks , yet the Idea is favored by nearly half
of the convention. The women suffragists
uro holding a rousing meeting hero this
evening , among tbo speakers being Henry
li , lilacKwell. of lloston , In an interview
this evening Mr. Ulackwoll says ho Is confi
dent that the convention will grant his re
quest and leave the woman suffrage question
to the legislature of the state.
R. 0. Wiley , of the National Reform asso
ciation , addressed the convention on the sub
ject ol Sunday laws , urg'ng ' stringent provis
ions in the constitution , Ho touched upon
thu Sunday labor question and depreciated
the running of Sunday trains.

Kllrnin Runs to Avoid PiinUlnnont.
NASHVILLE , Toon. , July 11. When the
north-bound Louisville & Nashville train
pulled Into this city at 10:33 : this morning n
crowd ot people surged around the car to see
John L. Sullivan , who was known to bo on
board. A rumor soon obtained circulation
that a requisition was In the hands of the
police , Bovcral of whom had boarded the car.
Some discussion and finally a struggle
was seen In the car , and nn
officer reached over with handcuffs
In his hand , and seizing the slugger's arm
pulled bun out into the aisle of the car. Sul
livan resisted. MIVo Clcary , who occupied
the same neat , put his head out of the win
dow and cried to the crowd :
"Gentlemen , I demand American protec
tion. "
1 His patriotic wall was greeted with a va
riety of responses. Some cheered Sullivan ,
and bugged him to "knock thu copper out. "
Others cried , "Hurrah for the Nashville
police , " "Hit bun with your club , " etc.
Ono youngster , who was hanging on the
outside of tno car window , ducucd his bund
behind the sill and Informed the crowd that
the "cops have out their puns. "
After a brief struggle , Sullivan was taken
from the car and hustled to n carriage. In
the scnfllo ho drew back to knock down a
policeman , when Chief Clack stuck a pistol
in his face and told Uiin if ho strucuho
( Clack ) would kill him.
The officers next grabbed Charlie Johnson
of Brooklyn , Sullivan's backer , who
resisted vigorously , but finally began
to cry with pain. During all this
scrimmage Muldoon sat quietly by and was
undisturbed. Mike Clcary , Sulllv.ui'a other
second , hid in the excitement , nnd ono other
named Lynch Jumped off the train. Only
Johnson and Sullivan were detained , though
the others were wanted.
The arrest was made on the authority
of a telegram from Governor Lowry
of Mississippi to the Nashville
chief of police. Sullivan re
tained ex-Attorney General Washington
who soya the officers wont beyond their au
thority nnd cannot hold their men.
An immediate attempt will bo made to get
the parties out on a writ of habeas corpus.
Governor Lowry's ' telegram offers a reward
of $1,000. It is believed , if released , Sulli
van will bo rearrested to secure tlrao for a
requisition to bo obtained.
At 8 o'clock Judge MuAllistor , of the cir
cuit court , heard the arguments In the Sul
livan petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
In rendering the decision the Judge was very
emphatic in his declaration that to hold Sul
livan longer would bo n most arbitrary act
on the part of the court ; that tno officers
have arrested him without warrant or
authority of law ; that a misdemeanor was
not extraditable by the laws of Tennessee's
courts , nor by the precedents of Governor ,
Taylor.Ho therefore ordered Sullivan re
leased. There waa an immense crowd pres
ent , and the decision of the judge was
greeted with applause. Sullivan , ana Johnson
' "
son went ea'st by way of Eouisvlllo "apd
Nashville to-night :
Kilrnlu.
CoLUMnus , Ind. , July 11. Kilraln and
party arrived here this afternoon. A re
porter boarded the train , but Kilraln re
fused to talk. "Damn the newspapers , " ho
said , "they have ruined mo already. " The
party proceeded to the hotel and Kilraln
stripped to the waist to wash. His body ap
peared badly swollen nnd was covered with
plasters. A big spot on his riglit slue was
blood red and bloated. Consternation was
created by the news of Sullivan's arrest nt
Nashville , and Kilraln and party. In order
to avoid arrest , hired carriages and drove
overland In the direction of Shelbyvlllc ,
thirty miles distant. The btierifC of this
county to-night received a telegram from
.Governor Lowrey , ot Mississippi , offering
$500 rowara for the arrest of Kilraln and
party. The sheriff has organized a posse
and has gone on the trail of the pugilists.
The latter have one hour the start.

Governor Lowry , sayingi "Your request

The Defeated J'nrty Talks.
ST , Louis , July 11. Jake Kilraln und party
arrived in St. Louis this morning. Kilraln
looks badly , but ho is as fur from the grave
as before the fight In so far as the injuries
received In the battle are concerned. His
face is badly bruised , both eyes blackened ,
his lips cut , but not severely , nnd his Juw
gives evidence of some of the taps thereon
from the brawny fist of Sullivan , Kllruin
walks without assistance , but Is far from
frisky. Ho Is also badly frightened , and
fears Governor Lowry more than ho did
John L.
"Tho whole story In n nut shell , " said
Mitchell , "can bo quickly told. Juke had no
time to get fit , und tno sun knocked him out.
The battle was fair nnd square und wo have
no complaints to make * " Ho declared that
Kilraln was not drugged.
"Tho people would prefer your statement
as to the fight , Jake , " suggested the Associ
ated press reporter.
"Well , ho whipped mo , " replied Juke , and
he did It fulrlv. I wasn't in condition. The
truth is I had but two weeks' training , The
hnat assisted , but I was not drugged , don't
blame anybody and acknowledge defeat. I
was over confident , perhaps , but still I think
I can whip Sullivan , and shall try for an
other go at him. "
The statement was mndo in a disheartened
way , however , and it was clearly evident
Kilraln was not ever anxious lor another
battlo.
"I feel badly about losing the light , " said
Kilram , "but utn not suffering very much
physically. It meant a fortune for mo. If I
won I need not have fought again , but
now 1 must. "
Mitchell says ho will challenge Sullivan
for another buttle , and Pony Moore stated
he stood ready to buck his son-in-law for any
amount. The party go direct to lialtlmoro
via Cincinnati.

The Crops of Dnlcotn nnd Montana In
a Deplorable Condition.
TOWNSCNII , Mont. , July 11 , ( Special to
THE Hm.J : Central Dakota and the major
portion of Montana are suffering severely
from drought. From observation nnd In
quiry In Uiirncs , Stutsman , Kldder , Hur-
lelgh , Morton and Stark counties , Dakota , I
find that thcro Is very llttlo hope of raising n
crop this season. No rain has fallen since
the last week in May. Wheat fields are
burned out , und the pasture Holds are as
brown nnd barren as In October. The con
dition of the country Is deplorable. What
llttlo Is to bo scon Is scarcely twelve Inches
high , green at the top and blighted
at the roots. From the James
river to the Missouri , nnd from
tlio , latter to the Had Lands on the western
border , along the line of the Northern Pa
cific. the cyo wanders over vast stretches of
level country , dotted with comfortable homes
and dilapidated dugouts , without scarcely n
tree or shrub to break the. monotony , nnd
everywhere the destructive effects of the
drought are visible. Creeks and springs are
dried out , and many largo ponds and lakes ,
which furnished water for stock , have dis
appeared , and a simoon of scorching heat is
dally adding to the destruction. There is no
prospect of n hay crop , nnd farmers hope
to save their stock bycutting the
green wheat for feed. How far north or
south of the railroad this distressing condi
tion extends I did not learn definitely , but
from inquiries I infer that the drought ex
tends north into the Red River valley and
south as far as the White river.
In most of the valleys of Montana a sim
ilar condition prevails. Along the Missouri
valley the pasture's are burned , wheat fields
are bare and the roots crop will not bo more
than otic-half. Irrigation is the life of this
rection. Largo and small ditches carry
water from the Missouri and Gallntin rivers
in udditbn to mountain streams for scores of
miles through a beautiful valley rang
ing from ono to twenty miloa wide , hedged
in by mountains. The soil Is rich and yields
bountifully when thoroughly irrigated. But
this year the' valley Is practically burned
out. Nearly rill the mountain streams , which
have not in twenty-five years failed to make
the valley bloom and blossom , are dried UD ,
and the countiy is parched and burned.
These mountain streams were the depend
ence of the farmers , and , they .did. not realize-
the danger and tap the Missouri until it was
too late to save the crop.
Thls'doyastatinp drought Is directly duo to
the mildness of last winter. The enotyj fall
was uncommonly light- and as a consequence
the sources of nil small streams nnd rivers
have practically failed. Mountains which
have been capped with snow since the pioneers
neers struck the country are now bare and
dry , und the rivers are unusually low.
Doubtless the condition of Dakota is par
tially duo to the lack of snow last winter ,
and the distress In that section will bo much
greater than in Montana. In the former the
settlers are new comers , struggling for a
start , and one failure at the outset will in
flict much hardship. In Montana most of
the farmers are old-timers and they are well
prepared to stand the loss of one crop , the
first in twenty years , Much anxiety Is folt. .
by stockmnn for the coming winter. Should
It bo severe , great losses are expected , ns the
hay crop is a failure , and heavy snows mean
starvation.
WAK , AGAINST UAHJUOADS.
Tlio O. A. It. Issues nil Indignant
Protrst AjjalnHt Partiality.
CHICAGO , July 11 , The G. A. R. circular
against the railroads was formulated to-day
nnd will bo officially promulgated to-mor
row. It states that after n long and con
tinued effort on the part of a large number
of department commanders of the Grand
Array of the Republic , supplemented by
earnest appeals to railroad officials , the G. A.
A. R. has fulled to secure for the old soldier
the customary rate ot 1 cent per milo to the
national encampment. The circular recites
the face that a rate of 1 cent per mile or less
has recently been granted to other organiza
tions , nnd states that the refusal of the rail
roads to glvo this rate to the veterans of the
late war Is an unjust discrimination against
thu G. A. H. Concurrently , the
department commanders of the various
states request all comrades , ns a matter
of self-respect and self-defense , and out of
love for the order , to forego the anticipated
pleasure of meeting their comrades nt the
national encampment by remaining at homo.
These attending were only the duly elected
delegates or ox.-ofileio members of the on
campment.
The circular concludes by recommending
the organization of county and district reun
ions throughout the various departments in
order that ovcry old soldier may bo given an
opportunity to meat his comrades uround the
eumpfiro in gladsome union.

MILWAUKEK , July 11. The mayor has
signed a resolution appropriating 10,000 , for
tents for the G. A. R. encampment , the en
campment council having pledged not to ex
pend u cent of money until the fate of the
encampment Is settled.
Mo definite action was taken at the meet
ing of the U. A. n. encampment council to
night. The meeting adjourned till Saturday
to await further developments. The senti
ment , however , was to hold the reunion
despite the boycotting circular of the de
partment commander : ) from eight neighbor

WASHINGTON. D. C. , July 11. J
The attorney general having examined the
reports of Special Agent Spaldlng with
reference to the cmbcrzlciucnt of John Cal-
houu , deputy collector at Omaha , to-day
ordered his prosecution on tno criminal
charge of embezzlement. The special ngctit's
report shows thnt for months prior to the
turning over of the collector's office to Mr.
Peters the deputy collector hod been syste
matically pocketing moneys forwarded for
stamps , making no returns of the samo.
The total nmount of the defalcation can not
yet bo ascertained , but so far na footed UD
amounts to between frt.OOO and $ " ,000 , With
additions coming in every day to swell the
amount. The special agent's report also
shows thnt Calhoun destroyed nil letters
containing enclosures which ho received ,
simply making memoranda of the omouuts
for his own personal information , and that
when confronted with the evidence of his
guilt ho confessed his crime and endeavored
through his father to make restitution of the
amount. Collector Calhoun at once mndo
good the defalcation and promised to sco
that the govointnont should lose nothing , In
the hope of preventing a criminal prosecu
tion of his son.

MINNEAPOLIS , July U. The Northwestern
Miller to-day says editorially In regard to
the current rumor that nn English syndicate
WAS figuring to purchase several of the
largo mills in Minneapolis and combine them. '
into ono corporation , that it was not entirely
unfounded in fact. The original scheme was
supposed to have been dropped , but either
the sumo parties or others connected with
ttiom Imvo reopened the negotiations , which.
have been going on ever since , nnd which
may possibly culminate In the transfer ot
several mills from tholr present owners to
outside purchasers. It is probably a trillo
premature to speculate on the effect of this
proposed movement on the general milling
business of the country , und especially of the
spring wheat section , It may not ho carried
out , although the probabilities are other
wise. A largo number of millers think that
It will bo un unfortunate thing for the trade
at largo , and there IB some talk * f other
combinations being made to compete with it.
