Open the Bari. Sammy.

New York, Sept.S-The SUMS Pitts
burgh special says: Several county
conventions in the state lately declared
for Tilden, for the presidency. This
morning the Post claimed Pennsylvania
blooming" for him. This afternoon,
a story was published here that Wallace,
who is candidate for the vice presiden-
cy and opposed to Tilden, has captured
nearly the whole state, and that even
Allegheny county, which was supposed
to be one of Tilden's strongholds, has
yielded to Wallace. 1t is also said the
Iron City is against Tilden, and that
Henry Meyer, chairman of the county
committee, is Wallace man. The first
Tilden club in the county, for the COM
paign of 80, was started here and the
county was supposed to be strong for
him. Now, it is said, by leading Wal
lace men and best informed republi-
cans, that Wallace and Barr, the can
didate for state treasurer, have formed
compact to carry the state delegation
against Tilden. This is supported by
other testimony. The Sun gives the
details of the plot.

NAMES MAJORITY
BIG FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
The Stalwarts Garry Everything
How a Big Reverse Was
Overcome-Blaine's
Dispatch.

Augusta, Sept. S-Midnight.-
tor Blaine has just sent the following
dispatch to Senator Allison, of Iowa:
''The result of to-day's election may
be briefly summed thus. We have car
ried by large majority the house of
representatives, and majority of the
senate, apparently, though not certain
ly. We have given our candidate for
governor a plurality of more than 90, 600
votes over the greenback candidate,
and 10000 over the democratic candi-
date. Whether we have given HIM an
absolute majority over both will only
be determined by further returns, and
possibly by the official count. On joint
ballot in the legislature we shall have
large majority, thus controlling the
executive council and the election of
all the state officers. The majority
against us last year was over Il, 900,
equivalent to 60,000 majority in Hi
nois, to $4,000 in Pennsylvania, or to
100000 in New York. To overcome
this majority in an "off" year, with no
general question pending, was of course
difficult task, and the republicans
feel that they have made splendid
fight, with most gratifying results.
(Signed) J. G. BLAINE,
Chairman Republican State Committee.

A Batch of Good Specials.

New York, Sept. IA Special from
Washington contains the following:
Secretary Evarts and wife will soon visit
the Marquis of Lorne.
Republican papers, judging from
their special dispatches have no reason
to doubt that the republican ticket will
be successful in Maine.
The Herald says news from Memphis
states that the fever is believed to have
reached its climax.
The Herald again starts the story
that possibly the next we hear of Tai
mage is that he has accepted call from
some large London congregation.

The New Afghan War.

Simla, Sept. Troops of all arms
have been called from Pishin and are re-
occupying Candahar. Yakoob Khan
has asked for British aid. Bodshah
Khan, who holds the country
beyond Shutargardan pass, has offered
his services to the British. Maj. Con-
nelly reported that all was quiet yester-
day to, and beyond Shutargardan pass.
Simla, 6 p. m. According to authen-
tic intelligence received from Ali Kheyl,
some of the natives have come
in and reported that they have
seen the dead bodies of British officers
at Cabul. 1t is rumored that nine
troopers belonging to the escort es-
capped.
London, Sept. THE intelligence
communicated by the India Office is to
the effect that the attack on the Brit
ish embassy, at Cabul, was commenced
by three Afghan regiments which were
joined later by nine others. The vece-
roy, of India, telegraphs that on the
sixth, Gen. Roberts will reach
Peiwar, from Simla, in five days and
will take command of rapid advance
on Cabul. Gen. Stewart has been or
dered to hold Candahar and threaten
Ghuznee if necessary. The ameer
writes that the troops at the first out
break, after stoning the officers, rushed
to the British embassy and stoned it.
Several volleys were fired from the en-
bassy in return. The second letter
from the ameer, dated Sept. 4th, says:
Thousands assembled to destroy the
English embassy. Much life was lost
on both sides. l, with five attendants,
have been beseiged all day yesterday.
Up to now have no certain news of the
envoy, whether he was killed in his
quarters or captured.
London, Sept. IA correspondent
at Bombay asserts that symptoms of
discomfort have been noticed at Cabul
for some time. The bearing of the
population toward the members of the
embassy has been defiant.
The force defending the embassy
numbered 70. They fought with great
bravery, and the ameer's son was fatal
ly injured.
A large number of the mutineers
were killed after the buildings of the
embassy were fired. The survivors
sailed out and defended themselves
desperately but all were killed includ-
ing Major Cavagnari. Intense excite
ment prevails throughout all of the
Indies.
1t is believed at Paris and Vienna
that the outbreak is due to Russian
intrigue.
A dispatch from Allahabad states
that nine troopers of the escort who
escaped were absent from the city col
lecting forage at the time Of the out
break. The mutineers finally burned
down the doorway of the embassy and
swarmed in.

which originated in the livery stable of
Sweet & Follansbe on Main street, be-
tween Third and Fourth streets. The

joining, occupied by ]. w. Stewart,
commission merchant, and J. E. Wood

New York, Sept. S.-The interest in
the trial next week at Bridgeport,
Conn.,, of VIM. Bucholtz for the muir
der of ]. Fl. Schultz last December, is
considerably heightened by an anony-
nous letter postmarked San Francisco,
August 8, recently received, in which
the writer describes where the clothes
and pocket book were buried, and says
Bucholtz is not the murderer. The let
ter is written on one side of plain
note sheet, evidently by German in a
disguised hand.

LOSS OF THE UNCLE SAM.
A Warning to Foolhardy Mariners.

A Warning to Foolhardy Mariners.
London, Sept. S.-Capt. Goldsmith
and wife, crew of the miniature boat
Uncle Sam, from Boston for Europe,
have arrived in vessel which picked
them up. 1t seems that Mrs. Gold
smith, at the commencement of the
voyage, suffered from sea sickness.
Her illness after few days assumed a
serious. form and threatened infamma-
tion of the bowels. The constant
wakefulness Of Capt. Goldsmith was
thus made necessary. On the 18th Of
August, when off New Foundland, a
tremendous northeast gale was encoun-
tered. Sail was shortened, and it was
feared the boat would swamp or cap
size, and Capt. Goldsmith stood knife
in hand ready 10 cut away the halyard,
in consequence of the boat shipping
heavy seas. Capt. Goldsmith finally
lay to with two drags over the bows
and tried to take some rest, when a
tremendous sea almost filled the place
where he was resting, and his wife was
sitting in water up to her shoulders.
After bailing out the water it was
found that the drags and two oars had
been carried away, and all the provis-
ions except canned meats destroyed.
Mrs. Goldsmith was growing rapidly
worse, and her husband on the night Of
the 10th of August began to consider
the advisability of returning to New
Foundland. The gale continued and
on the 18th and 18th all fastenings but
one Of the main sheets gave way. At
3 o'clock on the afternoon of the 10th,
after 72 hours of wakefulness, Capt.
Goldsmith law down to sleep, but was
awakened by shock of a heavy sea.
He saw large bark and chased it for
an hour, finally coming up with her,
and Mrs. Goldsmith was hauled aboaI d
with rope. Everything in the Uncle
Sam was lost. The boat was scuttled.

Nine Hundred Tons of Doilars-Too
Much Silver.

Much Silver.
Washington, Sept. S.-Nine hundred
tons Of standard silver dollars are stored
in the treasury vault. The amount
increased last month notwithstanding
the payment of one-tenth the current
expenses of the government in silver.
Over s30.67s, 900 were stored in the
vaults September lst.
A Times special says: Contractors
have been paying their workmen in
silver, which, with the amount paid
out by government, has put such an
abundance of silver in circulation as to
cause the most extreme silver advo-
Gates to complain of an overflow.
The Sunday Herald, pronounced
silver paper, to-day calls upon the
secretary of the treasury to let the
silver remain in the treasury, declaring
there is no necessity for its actual cir
culation. 1t says no one ever asks to
have these dollars paid out, and char
acterized as trick the method adopted
by the treasury department to put
silver in circulation.
A special to the Tribune says: The
treasury authorities have determined
not to receive silver dollars from the
national banks either on account of the
five per cent. redemption fund or any
other Indebtedness from banks in the
capacity of national repositories which
shall have received deposits of silver
dollars from officers of the government.

Probably Blow Over.

10th PARTIES Claim the Other IL the In.
Probably Blow Over.
WASHINGTON, June l9.-The ingrowing
topic in all circles tonight is the difficulty
between Conkling and Lamar. There are
many specuIations as to its probable re.
suits. Both parties appear to be perfectly
satisfied, and each claims that the other
must he considered the aggrieved party.
As is the case in all such affairs where
one OF the parties concerned is from the
South, it has given rise to great deal Of
talk about the code and the possibility OF a
duel. The friends Of Lamar claim that
Conkling Is the insulted party and ought
to take initiatory steps in chal-
lenge. On the other hand the friends
OF Conkling say that Lamar's insult
to Conkling was only by inference,
and was not made positive until after
Conkling had declined to hold any fur
ther communication with him, and had
addressed to him the epithets OF Coward,
bIacEguard and liar" fhat Mr.. Copkling
Will not 6CHu u CLAIlcuB6 10! OICouIEoS Cuu-
ceded BY his friends to be certain, and he
himself has indicated as much.
1t intimated tonight here that Lamar,
after waiting reasonable time, may pos
sibly be called upon to take the initiatory
himself The matter Is occupying the at
tention OF Lamar's friends, and lit should
be sscertained by the latter that there Is a
reasonable doubt as to who should send
tho challenge, it is thought that Lamar, in
that event. will give Conkling the benefit
OF the doubt and address him note.
This talk about the code Is confined ex-
clusiyely TO Southern gentlemen who are
here. No Northern man looks upon the
code as anything but farce, or relic
oI barbarism, and while no one questions
Corkling's courage, they concede the ridic-
ulous idea OF duel, when, II Lamar
should 90 far forget himself as to send a
challenge, it could not b0 noticed except
BY the District Attorney and perhaps by
the Senate. -.
The difficulty between Conkling and
Lamar is not wholly caused by any new
feeling. When Gordon and Conkling
clashed some time ago, and there was
talk OF duel, then Lamar was reported
10 have denounced Conkling in severe
terms, and declared that he would not
have escaped had he ll4amar) been the
insulted party.

SAN FRANclsco, June 2O.-Judging by
the expressions Of leading journals OF Re-
publican and Independent proclivities,
the ticket nominated by the Republican
State Convention will receive heavy
support. The Convention, considered as
a whole, wasa thoroughly representative
body. With psrhaps two or three excep;;
tions, the candidates orc men who will
command unqualified respect and 9onH-
dence. Perkins connection with the
transportation business will be used as a
lever against him, but It was significant
that the delegations from those counties
OF the State brought into immediate con:
tact with the company he represents voted
for him almost solidly. The Republicans
generally seem satisfied with the ticket
and express the utmost confidence OF car,
rying the State.
