STATEMENTS.
from tho rimes.l
"It has been determined by the Plymouth
Church committee to publish what is called
the cross-eSamination of Mrs. Tilton. or
course it is not in any proper sense cross
examination, but is merely, so far as we can
see. supplementary testimony, OF quite
rambling character, elected by the inquiries
of the lawyers present with the committee.
As the previous testimony of this witness
has never seen the light in any authentic
form, it is obvious that the present publca-
ton is but slight contribution to the evil
deuce necessary TO establish the truth in this
matter; and we are bound 70 say that the
course Of the committee in regard to this
and the other testimony that they have
printed is simply inexplicable."

The Lord Gordon Inquest.

Fort GEARY, MANITOBA, August Gan
inquest was held on the remains of Lord
Gordon yesterday. No money or securities
were found on his person. Portland, who
boarded with him, processes to know nothing
of his property. Gordon had at least S4O,-
900 in notes and large quantity of jewelEy
when he came here TWO years ago. Chief
Justice Wood attended the inquest, and
severely reprimanded the. detective, who, it
appears, was acting in behalf of Gordon's
bailsmen in New York. lie also reprimanded
the policeman who went to assist the detec.
tive, and also the lawyers here by whose adj
vice they acted. One of the warrants, at all
events, was worthless, and the whole at
tempt looked like another KIDNAPPING affair.

effort TO get the body to New York. .s,s4ssa

LoNDoN, August 8.-The cricket contest
between the Americans and English was re-
ueWed this morning by the commencement OF
Q game between the Princess Club and the
Twenty-Five Of the Americans. The Ameri.
cans won the toss, aud sent the Englishmen
10 the bat. The game was suspended for
lunch, at which time seven wickets had fallen
for nine, runs. The play will be resumed at
8 O'Clock. It's probable the Americans will
gain an easy victory, because all the crack
players of the Princess Club are out OF
town.
The game was resumed at P. H., and the
;Englishmen finished their inning with tota.
score of Fl runs.
The crowd when the game commenced
was smaller than that which gathered to see
the match with the Marylebone Club at
LORDS. but It is increasing fast.
The order for the British Mediterranean
squadron to proceed to the coast Of Spain hss

made no denial of these charges, but came
down. at once. and said: Susan what do
you want me to do?' From that moment
he has never 'squeaked.'"

WHAT A CHICAGO WOMAN SAYS.
A Chicago dispatch says: "The Tribune
prints a letter concerning Miss AnthonyrS
connection with the Beecher-Tilton matter.
The writer is q lady resident here, and is
we'll known in phlanthrophic and reform
circles. Her name is withheld at her re-
quest. Three years ago the pust winter, in
January, saw Miss Susan Anthony the first
time in my life. On that occasion she urged
me very strongly to become identified with
the suffrage movement in this city. l replied
to her that as long as the then almost scan
dalous divisions between the New York and
New England factions eXisted-divsiOnS
now, happily, healed-I felt no attraction to-
wards either party.
"She then proceeded to say that the blame
of this strife rested largely upon the New
England faction; that they had falsely &C.
cused her Of holding free-love doctrines
while some Of their own number were not
only guilty of holding, but of practicipg
them. For instance, Mr.. Beecher, the first
president of the Boston Society, was crimi.
nally guilty concerning certain married
woman Of Brooklyn, whose name l did not
ask, nor did she give it; but she continued:
Mr.. Beecher will never attack US again, that
is, the New York wing.
"ThiS was the reason she gave for the as
serton. She said that when the Boston ring
began to abuse Mrs. Stanton, she Susan B.
Anthony, knowing the facts about Mr. Bee
cher, went to him and asked him if be pro-
posed to stand by party that so accused a
woman whom he knew to be as pure and
exemplary as Mrs. Stanton; and then she
went on to tell him of his practices. He
made no denial Of these charges, but came
down at once, and said, Susan, what do you
want me to do? You know, she said to me,
he was Henry Ward Beecher. I could not
tell him to resign at once, but did say that
he should not suffer himself TO be reelected:
that he should utterly withdraw his support
from that faction and, said Susan, from that
moment he has ne, er squeaked."

ST.. LOUIS, August 6.-Additional informa-
ton regarding the alleged forging of cotton
warehouse receipts by Alexanders, Dorman
g. Co. shows that the younger members of
the tirm-Wylie Dorman, j. T. Butler, and
Henry S. Ogden-bad nothing to do with
or any knowledge OF the matter. They were
released from custody. B. G. Alexander, ST.,
of the firm, is still in prison. He stated that
the torgeries began about six months ago,
and consisted in forging the signature OF T..
w. Robinson, clerk OF Christian Peppers
cotton warehouse. This, he alleges, was done
by CD. Sheppard, confidential clerk, who,
however, Indignantly denies he did 1t. Alex
ander says the forgeries were committed for
temporary relief and not for fraud, and that
il they had not been detected he would have
taken them I'D in fifteen days. It's believed
that over 100000 worth of these forged re-
CENTS have been hypothecated at different
banks. The bank officers are reticent.
A package of $4,000 and check for $780,
600 were found at AleXander's residence
after his arrest. The money was Identified
