The Hanlan-COurtney Rowing
Match-'The Donors OF the
Prize Refuse to Deliver
the Money.
Hanlan's Future Movements He Pro.
poses to Visit Australia and
Row Trickett.

ROCHESTER,, Oct 29.-The donors OF the
Hanlan- Courtney prize decline to deliver the
money to Mr.. Blai1le, the referee, because
Hanlan claims 1t Is legally and morally his.
and Blalikle would, under his ruling be
obliged to give tho prize to Hanlan without
any race. The purpose of the donors Is to
furnish q fair contest between the two men,
not merely gambling affair
Under The circumstances the donors think
TINT neither the contestants nor the public
would be satisfied by having tho funds placed
under Blaikie's control, and they arc now
ready to place the money anywhere neces-
sary to insure III actual, honest rowing match
between Hanlan and Courtney.
Hanlan eontemplates q visit to Aus
tralia. He says he will go II tho peo-
pie OF Toronto and the men who have
made money by his races subscribe part oi
the expenses OF the journey, He would allow
Trickitt $1,000 expenses to come here and row
for $4,000 u side. but the Australian declines
declares lie will not bulge from the conditions
contained In the articles he sent Courtney
Hanlan will certainly not go to Washington,
and will insist upon Blaikie being referee, and
will hear OF none other being chosen. He
thinks Courtney very much overrated, and
Ii fully persuaded as he hns been from the be-
ginning, that the Union Springs man never
meant to row. Hnnlan will surrender the
Sportsman cup sooner than go to England
this winter, but he will protest against
Elllott's claim to 1t until he has proved him.

A Lucky n,unaer or calico Charles.

A friend OF Governor elect Foster, OF Ohio,
relates the following anecdote relating to him
pending the excitement of the canvass: He
received an offer Of 100000 for some railroad
property owned by him. He had no time to
consider the offer carefully, but concluded he
would telegraph his acceptance. He had at
the same time occasion TO telegraph to his
old friend and companion In most Of his
stumping tour, Gen. W. II. Gibson, who was
in a netghboring town, and being bothered at
the time by dozen claims upon his atten-
mixed The acceptance of the business offer
went OFF directed to Gen. Gibson, at Pine
street, New York. Next day came q reply
from the telegraph office that no Gen. Gibson
could be found In Pine street. BY that time
Mr.. Foster concluded that it would be better
to hold on to the property little longer.
Now 1t Is said to be salabIe for 00O SO the
mistake In the address of the telegram was
worth S25,0OO to him.

THE NEXT SENATE.
Certainly Democratic Until After 1883,

At present the Senate stands fortytwo
Democrats, thirty-three Republicans and one
independent. David Davis. Thus the Demo-
Gratis have nine majority over the Repub
enty-slx Senators there are twenty-five whose
terms will expire on March 3, 1881. The eleven
States OF California, Maine, Massac chusetts,
Michigan. Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada
Vermont and Wisconsin will return Repub-
lican Senators, although there is q doubt
about California. The nine States Of Della
ware, Florida, Maryland, Miseissippid lin place
OF Bruce). Missouri, Tennessee, Texas. Vir-
gtnia and West Virginia will certainly return
Democratic Senators.
Twenty OF the twenty-five new Senators
arc thus accounted for with II gain of one on
each side, leaving tho relative situation Of
the two parties unchanged. The remaining
Connecticut. Mcdonald, OF Indiana, Kernon,
Of New York, Randolph. Of New Jersey, and
Wallace, Of Pennsylvania. The Republicans
have the present Legislatures OF Connecticut
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The Democrats have that Of Indiana. In the
elections to be held In these States, II each
party holds It's own, the new Senate would
stand thlrty-eight Democrats, thirty-seven
Republicans. and one Independent. Should
the Republicans carry Indiana next year.
would change places, aud the Republicans
would have thirty-eight votes, the Demo-
Gratis thirty-seven votes. with one Independ-
ent, who. by voting with the Democrats,
would give the new Vice President the cast
ing voice, and transform his negative func-
tions1 ntO q controlling power In the legsla-
tion Of that body.
1t Is thus seen that conceding every seat
claimed by the Republicans, even including
that for Indiana, they would still be without
an actual majority In the Senate In 1881. In
either OF the contingencies presented. Judge
Davis could tie the Senate Then the result
would depend entirely upon the political com
plexion OF the next Vice President.

appearance before Commissioner Chester, Capt.
Wenzel went before Comm issioner Quintero and
charged the maker OF the affidavit against him

they were arrested and sent to the Parish

The action Of Capt Wenzel In causing the

by eteamboatmsn and their trial will be-
watched with considerable interest

says: The mission, at Vienna. Or Messrs. Bar

The failure may seriously compromises the ac-

the first result OF the recent Austro- German
alliance is the opposition to a settlement Of
Egyptian affairs.
The resistance OF Turkey to a reasonable ar
rangement OF the Greek question is attrib-
utable to the same cause. The objects OF the
mission of Messrs- Barring and De Bllgnicres,
