Satukday, Oct. 1, 1S87. 
Yesterday morning the President and par¬ 
ty started on their trip “around the circle.” 
The New York Sun makes a table aud shows 
that the journey will cover 4,430 miles of trav¬ 
el. It estimates the cost.of a special train for 
this distance, an engine, baggage and supply 
car and two palace ears at. SO,081, and count¬ 
ing in the fares of the party and the subsis¬ 
tence, concludes that the cost of the journey 
must be over ?12,000. A report from Wash¬ 
ington says the President will merely pur¬ 
chase six round trip tickets, and that the trip 
will cost very much less than the amount es¬ 
timated. The party will travel in one of the 
finest vestibule trains ever seen, consisting of 
three magnificent cars joined as one. 
,Tennessee has had a very hot political 
struggle with regard to a prohibitory amend¬ 
ment to the Constitution, All party lines 
were obliterated oil that point. The latest 
telegram says it is probable the amendment 
has been defeated by 20.000 majority. 
There has been much telegraphing of a “negro 
rebellion'' in Matagorda Co., Texas A ne¬ 
gro constable lmd to serve a warrant on a 
white man for refusing In work on the road. 
Shortly afterwards the constable’s body was 
found in Caney Creek riddled with bullets and 
weighted wjlli bricks, Forty-live indignant 
and armed negros went to the suspected white 
man’s house to arrest him. and as lie had fled 
they left without doing injury to bis house or 
family. Other negroes in the neighborhood 
grew angry, hut thorn was no organization 
among them. Reports of a rebellion spread 
widely and last, however, and Governor Ross 
sent several detachments of State troops from 
neighboring towns to the place, Six negroes 
met with by them were killed, some, the de¬ 
spatch says, “simply for luck.” Others were 
wounded. Having thus awed the negroes 
who never opposed any united resistance, the 
troops have returned to tlieir respective 
homes, covered with glory for having thus 
summarily “suppressed the rebellion.”.

Ten years from now it is believed that this

State* District Court at Boston, Monday, 
Judge 1 Colt I added down an opinion sustaining 
the demurrer of the defendant in the suit, ol 
the United States v. the American Bell Tele¬ 
phone Company. This throws the Govern¬ 
ment’s notorious suit against the company out 
of Court on the ground that the United 
States cannot bring a bill in equity to cancel 
a patent. A dispatch from Washington says 
the Government will at, once appeal the ease 
to the United States Supreme Court where it 
will be expedited. Judge Muller, of 
the (Jnitod States Supreme Court at St. 
Louis, has appointed Miss Phoebe W. Cousins 
U. B, Marshal in that district iu place of tier 
father who lately died. Miss Cousins has for 
a long time dotte the duties of the office dur-

Italian steamer Ah sin., arrived here last. Sat¬ 
urday with 650 Italian immigrants, of 
whom 13 were sick of Asiatic cholera: seven 
died during the voyoge and four during the

fumigated and disinfected in a building for 
that purpose and all the passengers and crew 
are strictly quarantined, Doctors say that 
even in summer the precautions taken would 
prevent the Spread of the plague and that 
there is no danger at this season. The sani¬ 
tary condition of the city is reported to bo 
better than for 20 years. Asiatic cholera 
hasn't visited this country since LSI Id.

............. Powdcrly foots up thomembership 
of the K, of L. at 800,000, and claims that 
there are 10,500 local assemblies. These fig¬ 
ures are seriously doubted, however, for in 
July, 1 KS 0 , when the order was at, the bight of 
success, it numbered only 720.577, with 5,802 
local assemblies, and it is said many large 
assemblies have surrendered their charters 
since then, and many trades unions have with¬ 
drawn from tlii* organization, and a multitude 
of members have failed to pav their dues....

both towns claim the exclusive right to work 
the mine, and each is arresting workers be¬ 
longing to t he other. Each stoutly maintains 
the mine is within its own borders, and the 
courts will have to decide from old colonial 
records and town lines.Jay Gould,

nre. all told, 200,0110 shares, but they lmd many

.... Although Jake Sharp’s conviction was 
unanimously affirmed the d her day by four 
judges of the Supreme Court of i his State, 
last Monday Chief Justice Huger, of the 
Court of Appeals, granted a stay of pro¬

appointed by Justice Van Brunt examined 
the prisoner and declared that he could be 
safely removed to the State Prison, where lie 
was to he taken yesterday. His health is as 
good as it ever will b*\ and as good as when 
ho acted as the chief briber of the boodle ald¬

rascality that he can now afford to pay law¬

may stay out of Slug-Sing for months yet.

Neebo, the Chicago Anarchist, condemned 
to 15 years’ imprisonment, was taken quietly 
to Joliet State Prison, III., last Monday. The 
other Anarchists, condemned to the baiter, 
are more despondent. Roger A. Pryor, the 
Southern New York City lawyer, who has 
taken up tin ir cause, says be is sun* some 
Judge of the United States Court will grauta 
stay of proceedings till the ease can be acted 
upon by the U. 8, Supreme Court; but other 
lawyers don’t agree with him. Petitions for 
executive clemency are still pouring in upon 
Gov. Oglesby, but, the blatant Anarchists are 
lessening the chances of pardon or commuta¬ 
tion of sentence by their savage threats 
against everybody in case the sentences are 
executed. Never has so much smug¬ 
gling of contraband goods been detected as of 
Jato among passengers returning from Eu¬ 
rope, Ladies are tin 1 chief offenders and 
sufferers, and the bustle and chignon are t he 
most common places of concealment. Every 
week, of late, from $56,000 to $75,000 worth 
of goods are seized at this port, and as the 
attempts at smuggling are self-evident the 
goods are confiscated. .

Republican and has shown himself an excel¬

deep, narrow Scotch cutter. Thistle, on what 
is called the “inside course” of the New York 
Yacht Club, covering 38 miles both ways,

Island. Tho wind was very light and fluky. 
Time about 6# hours. Volunteer 10 minutes 
23# seconds ahead. Yesterday in a 20-mile 
beat to windward aud return over an “out¬

won: crossing the winning line in live hours 43

Hip boats lmd to tack to make way against the

to both boats and occasionally took the wind 
from both, but both suffered about equally. 
On yesterday, both contestants lmd a splen¬

room they wanted. At least several million 
dollars depended on the issue, here and in the 
United Kingdom nml Canada. Canadians hs

Thistle strongly; aud huve therefore lost 
heavily. All now acknowledge Ihe Volunteer

nearly all own that the American type of 
sloop is capable of going faster than the 
British type of cutter. Hurrah for our side! I !

men by the “citizens” of London—the mem¬

poor-law reform ; the maintenance of free

The extremely critical condition of affairs 
common for years along the Gennun-Freneh 
f rontier bus been intensified by a deplorable 
event on Saturday lust. A party of five 
French sportsmen with four beaters wore fol¬ 
lowing a path just, within French territory 
near Raou-sur-Plaine, whou three rifle shot* 
were fired ut them by a German soldier named 
Kaufman, who had been detailed to aid game- 
keepers against poachers. One of the beaters 
named Brignon, was killed and a French offi¬ 
cer named Wutiger was dangerously wound¬ 
ed, Kaufman at once lied. Kaufman says 
he cried “Haiti” three times before firing and 
.that the party were on Germau soil. The 
German newspapers are disposed to insist that, 
the men were shot on German territory, and 
that they had crawled back to French soil be¬ 
fore they were found—even the dead man. 
No blood was found on German soil, nor any 
other mark, whereas pools iff blood were 
found where the men lay. There's really no 
doubt, they were shot ou French territory, 
which was thus violated. Germany is likely 
to make full satisfaction. The tune of the 
press of both countries in discussing the mat¬ 
ter is unusually moderate. No other Euro¬
