~Telegraphic advices from Mr.. Gould, daed
at St. Louis yesterday instructed Mr.. Dunn,
supt. Of construction, to abandon all further
attempts at track laying until next spring.
This fixes the terminus at Beaver Canon for
the winter and until late next spring, proba-
bly, as late as the first or middle OF May, de.
pending largely on the character OF the win
ter, which, if as heavy as present indications
seem to render probable, will make it very
late before the frost and snow will be gone so
that work can be resumed.
Snow now lays fully two fee deep here
and the stages arriving this morning report it
much deeper north of Pleasant Valley. With
the sus pension of construction trains going
north to the end of the track that portion of
the road will soon be blockaued and it is
hard to see how freights are going to be
moved from here with any more facility than
they could have been from BlacNfoot last
winter.
l would advise merchants to withhold
making any further orders for the present.
Later We may succeed in organizing a trans
Ter on ruIluerS to go as far lis Red isOci, to
connect there with wagons, but this arrange

Sir Stafford Speaks.

London, June 1S.-The Times, apro-
pos of the speech by Sir Stafford North
cote, at the anniversary banquet OF
the Tower Hamlet constitutional asso-
citation, which discusses the questions
now engaging the governments atten-
tiou, says: SIT is obvious that on all
sides there are indications of the ap-
proach of great electoral struggle.
The great questions of foreign policy,
which have occupied the mind of the
country the past few years, are rapidly
approaching solution, for good or harm.
When the time comes FOR. the English
people to say how the ministers have
discharged their trust, they will not
fail to bear in mind the difficulties that
the government has had to encounter,
as well as their method of dealing with
them. 1t is premature, as the chancel-
lor of the exchequer intimated, to form
final judgment on the whole case, but
it is also evident from his speech that
the moment for pronouncing such judg-
ment is not far off,
In the course of the foregoing article
the Times makes the following refer
ence to dispatch from Alexandria,
stating that the French consul general
would proceed in full uniform to the
palace to announce that the French
government has decided to insist upon
a deposition of the khedive 1t is not
to be supposed that the French govern
ment would have taken step of such
Importance without tho conscD: OK &c

it has been taken at all, we have en-
tered upou new and very critical stage
of the Egyptian question.

property rooms, ETC., etc. The drop
curtain is the handiwork of an artist,
and must be seen to be appreciated.
Everything in the theater was produced
by home talent during the last six
weeks, hence the boys-in-blue have
cause to feel proud of it.
Once in two weeks the theater is
thrown open to the public, and the
dramatic company, composed of the
ladies and officers of the post, delights
the audience with choice entertain
ment. Those alternate with the per-
formances of the Waverly Amateur
Minstrels, composed of enlisted men,
who have manifested considerable
ability in former exhibitions. These
minstrels are announced to appear this,
Friday, evening, at the post theater,
and most excellent programme has
been prepared for the occasion. We
wish we were there to attend.

Parties up from the southern portion
of the state represent that very queer
state of affairs exists in that section of
the Centennial State. They say that
an out-and-out standing army has been
organized by the Dedver and Rio
Grande company. Fully $50 armed
men are scattered about the country
south of Pueblo who are under pay of
from SO to S5 per day, according to
rank, and who are living in high style
at the expense of the Rio Grande COM
pany. At Ell Moro there are 250 men,
well armed and completely equipped.
They have constructed fort there, and
remain near it, well prepared to fight
when it shall become necessary. At
Alamosa the dauntless Governor Hunt
is in command, and has about $50 arm
ed men. There are about 200 men on
the Canon City branch, making in all
about 1000 men armed men in the en-
ploy of the Rio Grande Company. They
can have but one object, and that is to
resist writ from the United States
Court, in case one is issued, compelling
a restitution of the property in dispute
to the Santa Fe Company. -Denrer
Tribune.

Iohn sherman,s ..Pint .

New York, June 19.-The World to-
day prints short, characteristic letter
to the editor from Gen. Sherman. 1t
says: think you make an unneces-
sary fuss about my letter to Judge
Braughn of New Orleans. If you can
find the word, democrat or republican,
in either I'll admit the justice of your
criticism. JOHN SHERMAN.
The World so far modifies its charge
that Gen. Sherman is writing political
letters in the interest of his brother, as
to say, ''while they do not prove him to
be political partisan, they do prove
him to hold such notions of the true
nature of the United States govern
ment as would be only to likely, in an
emergency, like that of III for example,
to put his sword at the service of the
political party

Who the Nihilists Are.

Philadelphia, June 19.-Lord LOTUS
stated to Il reporter yesterday that the
so-called nihilist movement in Russia
is very much exaggerated. 1t is GER
tainly misunderstood as far as regards
the dynasty. The nihilist party if it
be permittable to use such figure of
speech) can be almost counted on the
fingers of ones hand. They are but an
infuriated part of the population. The
peasants are not among them. The
latter are intensely loyal to the emper-
or. The nihilists are what you may
call the literati-the writer's, students
and other classes possessed ofta fair de-
gree of education. These people are
opposed to the present system of govern
ment. There are are also great many
persons of all other classes who are dis
satisfied with the present system of
bribery and corruption which exists in
the government. While these persons
are not nihilists they would not be
sorry if nihilism would bring about a
change of system. Some people talk of
insurrection, but that is impossible, so
long as the armyremains loyal. The nj
hilists exercise system of terrorism, and
in that very fact show their weakness.

The Hull Inquest.

New York, June 19.-At the inquest
in the Hull murder case to-day, Loren
70 5. Hull, husband of the murdered
woman, was the first witness called.
He spoke in a low tone, and said he
heard on Wednesday morning that his
wife was dead; he dressed and went
down stairs and found she had been
murdered; the appearance she present
ed was awful, and it nearly took away
his senses, he could scarcely collect his
thoughts to talk of the matter.
Cross examination:-Tuesday night
he retired about 1890. Mr.. Chitten-
den had visited him and his wife that
very evening, as he frequently did; he
left the house about quarter past ten;
during Crittenden's visit the witness
went to Madison avenue and to Twen-
ty-third street to see patients and re-
turned at about quarter before ten; was
frequently in the habit of leaving the
children and Mrs. Hull together; went
up stairs with an ordinary sperm can
die in his hand, which he kept burning
only a few minutes before lighting the
gas; stayed up stairs until a. m., and
then fell asleep. Heard Coleman come
in about 1870, heard nothing else dur
ing the night; there had been nothing
unusual between himself and his wife
on the evening before the murder

Bully for Weston,

London, June 19.-At 2 O'Clock this
afternoon the scene at Agricultural
Hall was one of intense excitement.
Weston was still leading Brown by
three miles and three laps. The i'm
preston now prevails that the Yankee
stands most excellent chance of
wrestling the coveted trophy from the
Britishers and carrying it back to
America.
At 4 O'Clock the scene in and around
the hall la filed description. Weston,
who is six miles ahead, is running in a
brisk fashion spurred on by ringing
cheers of the spectators, while the band
plays "Coming through the Rye" The
excitement increases with every lap
that is added to the score.
Up to this evening Weston had only
taken an hour and half of rest since
last night, and his courage and endur-
ance are pronounced by all truly won
derful. Weston overhauled Brown
this morning exactly as the hand point
ed to II O'Clock. As he did so the
Americans present gave a mighty shout,
making the building echo and re-echo.
He seems hearty and strong and is 60
ing finely. Brown is not so strong and
his supporters are getting anxious about
him.
Weston says this will be his farewell
performance in London, so he intends
to mark it by an endeavor to cover $50
miles, and that he will make no more
matches in England, but intends TAX
ing the belt to America, and whoever
wants it must come over there for it.
The two men shook hands and part
ed. Brown is ordered to remain in his
tent for five hours rest. This will un-
doubtedly give the race to Weston.
Sir john Ashley paid Weston visit
in his tent tonight, and after chatting
while, Sir John said to Weston,
"Well, you look in good fettle. Now
I'll tell you what III do, so that this
tournament will be memorable one.
III wager five hundred pounds to your
one hundred pounds that you don't
cover $50 miles by Saturday night. Do
you take me ?''
Weston-"Certainly, Sir John, the
five centuries will make good lining
to the belt,

The Hazen. Stanley Case.

New York, June 19.-The Times to-
day publishes the order issued by Gen.
Sherman reviewing the proceedings,
findings, and sentence of the Stanley
court martial, which will probably put
an end to the quarrel between the lat
ter and Hazen. The result twill GER
tainly not be satisfactory to Stanley.
Maj. Eaton, counsel for Hazen in the
proposed suit, said yesterday that he
had not heard from his client since the
publication of the order; he was sorry
Sherman had seen fit to prevent the
further ventilation of the subject, for
no matter what the counsel for Stanley
or others might say to the contrary,
Hazen had not yet had an opportunity
to state his side of the case. Fully
twenty officers in this city, at the time
Of the court martial, would gladly have
testified in behalf of Hazen. As the
case now stands Hazen will have to re-
sign probably to prosecute the suit.

called to order and the whole colloquy
was over before the listeners could fully
realize to what objectionable lengths it
had been carried. Both senators
spoke slowly but Conkling was especial
ly deliberate in his manner and threw
into his words an amount of scornful
and contemptuous emphasis which
barbed every word like an arrow. La
mars last utterances quivered with
anger and were accompanied with a
disdainful gesture suggested by the
throwing down of a gage of mortal
combat which he eagerly hoped his ad-
versary would take up.
Conkling, while speaking, stood in
the middle aisle and Lamar spoke from
position very near it. Vance, of
North Carolina. who, like his father,
a recognized authority on all matters
concerning the code Of duello, occupied
a seat alongside of Lamar and made
several suggestions to the latter while
Conkling was speaking. The southern
senators, in conversation since the oc-
currence, universally commend La
mars action as justifiable and even
demanded by Conkling's imputation of
bad faith ON his part and assert that
there can be no question of his entire
readiness to maintain his words with his
life If necessary. They express doubts
as to whether Conkling will send
Lamar challenge although they say it
is of course incumbent upon him to
push the matter father, as Lamar gave
the lie first. Lamar's friends explain
that he felt called on especially to re-
sent Conkling's charge of bad faith on
the part of the democratic side of the
chamber because it had come to his
ears that Conkling had denounced him
personally in this.
Senator Conkling informs his friends
that he does not intend to send Lamar
a challenge, or IN any other way to be
drawn into due, for neither he nor his
constituents believe in dueling. He
also says that Lamar's attack on him
was unprovoked and -unexplainable
upon any personal grounds. His
(Conkling's) chage of bad faith having
been made against the whole democrat
ic side Of the chamber and not especial
ly applicable to Lamar, whom, in fact,
he didn't have in his mind at all
when uttering that remark, although
he had previously referred to the Mis-
sissippi levee bill, of which Lamar had
charge, as being one of the matters
that had consumed the time of the SEN
ate to the exclusion of proper opportu-
nifty for republicans to debate the army
appropriation bill.

Not on the Record.

Washington, June 19.-The Record
of to-day does not contain the remarks
of either Conkling or Lamar last night,
but instead, note saying that this part
of the proceedings is withheld for re-
vision. 1t is now probable that mutual
friends will be able to bring about a
reconciliation between the two senators,
and the remarks of both, last night,
will be suppressed from the Record.
messages have been sent to all the abb
sent senator's, urging their immediate
return. They expect the request will

The score at p. m. stood: Weston,
