Schools Closed.
The attempt to pit the public schools
against the circus, yesterday, was a COM
plete failure, as in nearly all the schools
the attendance was so slim that it was
found necessary TO abridge the usnal
sessions to very few minutes duratio on.
Very Lucky.
The bridge tender at the Ridlev
crossing of the p. W. & B. R. R., has
been stationed there for twepty + q
years, and has never had an accident

The audience last night was estimated at numbers
ranging from 1000 TO 5000, and by Kearney alone at
10000 There were probably between 1000 and
5000 persons present Some OF the wOrlImen
brought with them their wives and children.

General Wallace has been of the btercst of the
Presidents opponents, denouncng his public
course aud the President personally a
man. at every opportunity. The official
referred TO says that the Goyernorship Of NewMex-
leo was under consideration by the Cabinet last Fri
day. Secretary McCrary urged General Wallace's
appointment, az did Judge Tyner, the Acting Post
master-General. Secretary schurz denounced Cen

Administration should not be rewarded by such an
appointment as the Goycrnorshp of New-Mexico
From the talk of Government officials there APP
pears TO be no doubt but that attempt will be
made 20 defeat the confirmation of General Wallace
when the Senate shall meet next December. They
say he cannot be confirmed. because the Democrats

WINDSOR, W.T. Sept. 3.-A recent statement
in The London Times, apparently on the
authority of its Philadelphia correspond
emit that Secretary Evarts, in his letter
concerning the Halifax award, had proposed
customs union between the United States and Can
ada has called out much comment A TRIBUNE cor
respondent to-day asked Mr.. Evarts at his country
seat at this place, in regard to the matter. he
replied:
" The London Times appears to have been misled.
have not vet finished my letter in regard to the
Halifax award, much less sent 1t. L am still at
work upon it, but it will probably be sent in a
few days. No proposition for a reciprocity treaty
OF customs union has yet been entertained in the
negotiations between the two countries"
as 1t probable that any such proposition will be
madei"
Itwould not be proper Mr.. Evdrts answered,
for me to talk about what may possibly come up
in the negotiations"
" Are not the Canadians very anxious to secure a
reciprocity treatyp
There can be no question of that, because that
anxiety was very apparent after the Treaty of
Washington was signed, and before the Fisheries
Award was made. They were inclined to let the
fisheries matter 90 If they could get a treaty. 1t
is important that this insxplcabe award should
not be assumed as a measure of the fishery make
weight in future negotiations. If it were only a
question Of paying so much money it would be less
important. But the fisheries are a continuing in
terest and Congress meant to guard against any
inference which might hereafter be drawn from ac-
Guiescence in any form in the award"
