I asked blm at once what bo tlioupht Mr. Lincoln would say to suoh an arrangement. Ho replied - plied direct nnd with emphasis , us If ho had forgotten the strong point in bis case , that ho represented Mr. Lincoln in the matter and that bis presence in the .south was at the per sonal request of the iircsldont. It is needless forme to say that I did all I could to aid Ucn- ornl Sickles In bis mission.

TUB UKK has lately boon sbow- Ing that on account of the lower prices of cirttlo at Kansas City several train loads of stock are boughtovcry wnok on that market nnd shipped here , A moro gratifying com parison Is found In tl.o hog market. Whllo the total packings for the season have do * creased from I,80\JO ( in 1SOO to 3,891,000 for the corresponding period this year. Chicago scores a docrcnno of 240,000 to 1,310,000. Kan sas City a decrease of 210,000 to 010,000 while South Omaha's dccrenso Is only 3'J,000 to 400,000. Hut whllo South Omaha shows a decrease In slaughterings of ; K,000 It shows nn Increase In receipts since January 1 from 011,03(5 ( to Sn2,7Wi. The plain inference is that South Omaha ii growing as n stock market much faster than nnj other ono In the coun try , nnd that the quality of the hogs - received ceived Is so much bettor thai other packers , notably Boston , till their orders for cholco stock at this market. liroko llln Collar HOMO.

World Fair Maunders Fear the Hand of Kuucntrlc Mr. WarblriRtou Baltimore Convention Questions Kcvlvod. CIIICAOO OFFICE OF Tnn BED , > CHICAGO. July 9. ( President Cable of tbo Rook Island loft hastily for Mow York last night. When this fact became known today.it caused some thing of a sensation in railroad circles and speculation has boon kept at a high pitch as to the object of his trip. Recent developments have convinced cer tain Western passenger association lines , much to their surprise , that Mr. Cable's road is not in sympathy with tno efforts being made to dowa the Alton , consequently they have concluded that his presence in Now York moans a vigorous protest to the trunk lines against any further enforcement of tbo boycott. "Things bavo reached that point now , " observed n prominent general manager , "whoro something must bo done to remove the causes thnt threaten to destroy the pros pects of a prosperous year. Heavy crops In Iowa , Missouri , Kansas , Nebraska , Dakota nnd the northwestern states will glvo the railroads plenty of ouslnoss this fall and If rates can bo maintained they will make money nnd wo need it , but n rate war would simply ruin us. I doubt whether any corpor ation west of Chicago eould keep out of a re ceiver's bands with another two years of decreased - creased earnings. " CIIAI11MV.V JIUIVTON TALKS. Burton.C. Cook , who was chairman of the Illinois delegation to the convention at Haiti- more in 18154 which nominated Lincoln for second term , contributes to the Hamlln con troversy n statement that ho personally knew that Lincoln was not opposed to the late Han nibal Hamlln , and did not influence the con vention m nny way to nominate Andrew John son. Mr. Cook siivs. to ascertain how Lincoln stood m the question of the vico-prosidonov , bo wont to Washington nnd saw him ou the subject , "And when 1 loft , him , " said Mr. Cook , "I was satlstled that ho would bo per fectly satisfied with the nomination of Hum- lin. lin."Hamlln led tbo convention , nnd would bnvo carried It had it not boon for ono thing. Horace Maynard of Tennessee nroso nt a critical point nnd made n rattling speech for Johnson. Ho spoke in a most passlouato way of the great sufferings that had been endured by the union man living in tbo south and In powerful nnd forceful words ho portrayed trayed the experiences of himself and John son in Tennessee and bo sat down with the hall ringing with wild nnd patriotic op- plnuso. 'It wns thnt speech , It was these sent- ! menu so eloquently uttered by Maynard that defeated Hamlln and by no moans any desire ou tbo part of President Lincoln. " \HUI.1 > XAIU .NOVBI.TIK8.

The Lake street elevated road Is to ba sold , not to the Canadian Pacific , but to a syndi cate of eastern capitalists who have had rep resentatives hero for a month. It U under stood that in a day or tno the control of tbo road , work on which had. stopped because of lack of funds , will mss into the hands of Jcsso Soligman , the Droxols , and the Thom son-Houston , et ul. Lpcal , monlod man will , in all probability , bo Included in the syndi cate , and James Piirsons of Philadelphia , who was ono of tbo , original stockholders , may retain his interest. The Now York- Boston-Philadolpbia syndicate bad n com petitor , though , in Canadian capitalists who regarded Chicago as a profitable Hold for in vestment , and they bent their engineers and agents to examine the Lake street road. To the activity of these Canadians , some of whom reside in Montreal , may bo attributed the story that the Canadian Pacific has bought the road. The Canadians , it Is pre sumed , wish they had. vVhilo they have not desisted in their efforts , the eastern Ameri cans have succeeded to the extent that the final papers may bo aliened nny of these days. The price has been fixed and It is given out that the syndicate has a construction com pany with n capital of $5,000,000 besides an unlimited revenue on which it cm draw should occasion require. Not only this , but the Thomson-Houston company indicates that tbo motive power is to bo electricity rather than steam. It Is not known definitely that electric motors will be used ou the ele vated lines. They undoubtedly will bo , though , on the several loops in contemplation which will servo ns feeders to the main or Lake street branch. At first It was thought advisable to extend the elevated line west to Oak park , but this idea socms to have bf-on abandoned In favor of the electric surface road feeders which can bo built cheaply and servo tholr purpose until the territory is moro thickly populated.

Hamilton of Grand Island , uho is one of the managers of the great beet sugar factories at Grand Island and Norfolk , while conversing with friends at the Millard hotel last night. "Wo have2,200 acres at Norfolk nnd 2,700 acres nt Grand Island , and if the weather is not too web later In the summer I think tbo crop will yield , where it has been ivoll cared for , ever twenty tons to the acre. What wo need now are moro laborers. Every man , woman and child in thu vicinities of brand Xslnnd nnd Norfolk , who applies for work , can now IInd It in our boot lields , und I tell you it is working good times for the people up there. " Mr. Hamilton had some samples of tbo crop now growing nt Grand Island , and exhibited the succulent , sachnrine-produclng vegetables to these who happened to bo about tbo ro tunda. "Tho sugar beet , " Mr. Hamilton wont on to explain , "must have good , largo leaves or it will not bo rich in sugar. I'ho loaves of n good crop will almost entirely cover tbo ground when the plants are fully matured. It Is the action of thp oxygen upon the salts sucked up from the soil which produces the sugar , so the larger and healthier the leaf the bettor. " The vegetables exhibited lust nl ht were about three Inches thick , ten inches long and had loaves moro than a foot in length. NATURAL FRUIT FLAVORS. Vanilla A Of perfect purity.
