What is to Come.
WASHINGTON, july

WASHINGTON, July 81.
The adjournment of the house to-day on
account of the death OF Senator Caperton
prevented action on the contested election
case of Platt versus Goode, which was the
unfinished business of yesterday, and will
probably give rise to struggle as to the
proper order of business tomorrow.
The majority and minority reports of
the naval committee on the management
OF the navy department were made the
special order for tomorrow, to the exclu-
sion OF all other business, but experienced
parliamentarians assert that this assign
ment of the day will not hold good against
the unfinished election case on which Har-
ris of Virginia was entitled to the floor at
the adjournment yesterday, and that after
this matter is disposed of it will be in the
power Of majority of the house to take
up the silver bill or go into a committee of
the whole on the private calendar. The
probabilities are that the election case will
be first disposed of and the debate on the
naval committee reports then commenced
with certain prospects of its running
through the remainder of the afternoon
and all day Saturday.

ALL ABOUT "sYLPH" BABCoCK.


Bluford Wilson Before Committee
WASHINGTON, July 81.
Bluford Wilson, late solicitor of the
treasury, to-day appeared before the COM
mittee on whisky trials in st. Louis, and
recited in detail his knowledge in regard to
the late whisky prosecutions in the west,
and particularly in regard to the connection
of Gen. Babcock with them. lie related
with great minuteness various conversations
which he had with Gen. Horace Porter,
Mr.. Bristow, Attorney General Pierrepont,
and finally with President Grant himself
on the subject. 1t seems that letter OF
his to the prosecuting officer IN st. Louis,
melting him to the greatest activity in bring
ing to justice everybody, from the lowest
to the highest, engaged in the conspiracy
was obtained by Babcock and falsified by
interpolating the letters, w. H., so as to
make it intimate his belief in the par,ci-
patton OF the White house in the conspir-
acy. This letter thus falsied was exhib-
tied to Bristow, Perrepont, and also TO
the president, and although the press copy
of 1t In Wilson's letter book was produced
to prove the forgery, he seems to have
been unable to shield himself from the
charge of having employed spies even
against the president. Wilson said that
there was no lack of cooperation on the
part of the president in the whisky cases
generally until Babcock became involved,
when a GOODNESS between the White house
and the treasury department arose.
He also testified that, in a conversation
with Gen. Horace Porter soon after the
discovery that the "Sylph" telegram was
in Babcocks handwriting, Porter gave an
explanation OF the dispatch to the effect
that it related to movements of certain
parties going TO st. Louis on the bridge
business, and said that the signature arose
in this way There was certain woman
who had given the president much trouble.
Babcock and Mcdonald being together in
Washington, one day, saw her, and Nc
Donald recognizing her, exclaimed
There is Sylph." Babcock said: /" Do
you know that woman p Mcdonald re-
piled. " 1 know her very we'll" Then"
said Babcock, I" 1 wish you would get her
away from here she is annoying the presi-
dent" Certainly" said Mcdonald, "that
IS easy. ! can manage her, and he did
SO. The tarm Sylph became sort of
standard joke between Babcock and Nc
Donald and they often addressed and
signed their communications in that way
When charged with having set spies on
the president Wilson in self defense told
the president of his suspicious of Babcock
and related the explanation Of Sylph given
by Porter. The president Indignantly de-
MED the story, brushed it away with con-
temptuous gesture, and proceeded with his
remarks on the subject of the frauds, say
ing that he believed Babcock innocent but
that if guilty "He was the most guilty
wretch in the country and that no pun
ishment could be too severe for hira.
Wilson testified that when he first heard
this story from Porter he believed it to be
false and he still believed so. He will be
further examined tomorrow.

Abilene and Sister of Mercy running head
a length behind. Patience moved up
to Merciless at the half mile post,
and showed his head in front at the three
quarter pole, Sister of Mercy going up
third. Merciess, however, was again
urged forward on entering the homo stretch
and came away amid the shouts of the null
titude, beating the favorite by two good
lengths, Patience second, three lengths be-
fore Abilene, who was some distance
ahead of Sister of Mercy. Time 1900.

Why the Bank of California Failed.

BAN FRANCISCO. July n.
In the Bulletin-Alta libel suit the further
testimony of Michael Reese and d. o.
Mills was taken before .the third dis
trct court commissioner yesterday. Reese
testified to the following effect: The fail
ure of the bank of California was caused
by Ralston's taking money from it to ex-
pend on outside affairs. Rals,on was the
architect of a job to sell the Spring Valley
waterworks, and Calevaras Valley scheme
to the city at profit Of about $1,000, 900.
helped him, furnishing large amounts of
money to buy up stocks. advanced be-
tween three and four millions, and he had
the whole management of it. Heexpected
to make enough out of the job to save the
bank from failure. 1t was the last thing to
do to save it. If the scheme had been car
ried out, | don't think the bank would
have failed. Rals,on took the funds of the
bank to carry on the water scheme.
Mills testified, referring to the charge in
the Alta of September 2lst, 1875, that the
proprietors of the Bulletin and Call remit
ted money to Simonton in New York, to
speculate in stocks, that they strove to
make the panic as disastrous as possible,
and were in a conspiracy to break the
bank, testified as follows know of no
effort of those parties to affect stock val
ues or to break the bank, or to cause the
public to lose confidence in 1t. The cause
of the failure of the bank was that Ralston
used its funds for bis own purposes and did
not replace them. This he did surreptious-
ly lrregularly and without the knowledge
of the directors The largest deficit was
found in the refinery account, amounting
to about two millions.

Too much cannot be said in praise of the
various styles of instruments manufactured

special attention to the magnificent up

singing quality, so desirable to every sing
er its perfect action are a delight and a
surprise to every one who sees them.
Well may We all exclaim with Strauss how

County Seat Question.

A Chelsea correspondent OF the Mont
pelier Watchman says the question of
of changing the location of the county seat
is again being agltated in Orange and
neighboring counties. If the Allen county
project can be carried through the leglsla-
ture, efforts will probably be made to split
up Orange county, and in that way to es-
uablish the county eeat In some other town.
1t will be good thing for people through
the county who oppose a change of loca-
ton of the county buildings to attend to
this matter little in their choice of repre-
sentatives to the legislature this fall.
