OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.



The calling Of the Democratic Conven-
tion at Cincinnati two weeks later than
the Republican Convention at Chicago has
an unmistakable significance. Ohio they
intend to make one Of the debatabe
grounds OF the campaign, and II the Repub-
licans make blunder In their nomination
Pennsylvania will also be doubtful The
blunder which the Democrats are hoping
their enemies will make Is the enforce
ment of the third torn idea In the nomina-
tion of Grant. In that case the Democrats
would nominate Hancock, who, with the
present dissatisfaction with the Grant
Cameron management In Pennsylvania,
would probably carry that State. The
Democrats think that this would Justly
give them fine chance. But will the
Republicans make this mistaken don't
believe they will. They are beginning to
be fearful of the third term themselves,
and It looks as though Blaine would break
that boom in Illinois. They may blunder,
but 1t looks as though they would not so
completely put themselves into the hands
of their opponents as TO nominate Grant.
1t is probable that the deficiency bill FOR
the Star Mail service will be adopted be-
cause It will be disastrous to cut down that
service now But It will be SO qualified
that the extravaganza Of its administration
cannot be continued.
The Ute prisoners will be here in few
days, and shortly we shall know what their
fate shall be and whether peace or war
will be the condition of the "Indian ques-
tion" for the season.
Under the bill, giving the State five per
cent. of the value at one dollar and quar-
ter per acre, of lands granted by the Gen.
eral government on military land warrants,
the following states will be benefited, and

the sidewalk, gave the other push into
an alley, and at the same tlme drew a
large butcher knife from under his over
coat and stabbed him In the left side.
The wounded man fell with n groan.
The man who stabbed him stood and
looked at him fora short time, and when
the wounded man called "pollce," he
replied, "Police call the police, d--n
you. 1 don't care,n and turning around
coolly, walked down the street. The
two boys followed him, but II does not
seem that they gave the alarm. A crowd
soon gathered around the injured man.
He didn't seem to be bleeding at all, and
the people were in doubt for while
whether he really had been cut. The
man was breathing very heavily and
was utterly unable to speak. He was
unconscious, and died within five min
utes after he was hurt. Kelley, the MUIR
derer was arrested the next day.

seIllna Chickens Ia Broad Street.

A crowd of some 1000 people gathered
at II A. M. Wednesday around the Sher-
iff's auctioneer, Thomas Sullivan, in
front of the Stock Exchange to buy some
Brahma fowls and in an indirect way to
subscribe generally to the Irish relief
fund. Two large drays were drawn up
in the middle of the street and on one
of these improvised platforms Cornetist
Levy footed the Irish Washerwom-
an" "The Harp that Once Through
Tara Halls" ''The Girl Left Behind
Me-" and "St. Patrick's Day." Sever
al stump orators volunteered their SER
vices, Captain Rynders monopollzed the
business. While his speech was con-
tending with the shouts of the multi
tude the following subscription were
received: VIM. Traphagen, 500; Nash
& Crook, $125; Henry Hughes, $3.50 /,
James O'Brien, $500; George Garfield,
$3.50, and Sheriff Bowe, 1925. The three
Brahmas, which were the gift of Mr..
Ruckholdt, of New Haven, were mon
strous birds, the cock weighing seven
teen pounds and the hens twelve pounds
each. After some competition they were
knocked down to Andrew Martin for
$35. Three Plymouth Rocks were sold
to the same bidder for $15, and lot of
pasteboard eggs, or persuaders," to the
truckman, Mr.. Taggart, for $4. Several
smaller contributions were received,
swelling the total amount to 81 200, and
then Levy blew " Garryowen." A gang
of pickpockets made merry with the
purse of the philanthrophists during
the proceedings. The police were pow
erless, for 1t took over half an hour to
clear the sidewalks.-M Y. World.

The Sand Lot Gang and the Chinese.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Feb, 24,-At
the sand lot yesterday, Cannon the
leader of the unemployed, intimated
that they would finish their rounds
among the employers of Chinese this
week, after which there would be less
noise made, but their meetings would be
secret and dangerous to those who refus-
ed to comply with their demands. The
Board of Supervisors, the Chief Of Po-
lice, and number of prominent citizens
held private consultation yesterday,
which is believed to have reference to
the threat made on Sunday by Kearney
to erect gallows on the sand lot this
week. Among the business classes the
revival of committee of safety is talk
ed of.

young man, apparently % or so years of

on the sidewalk just above Fifth avenue,

bride, while the other man wore a long,
brown overcoat, was short and heavy,
had reddish moustache and whiskers,
and in general was very ragged and
drunken in appearance. He was man
much older than his companion, per-

THAT the number of defaced coins is
very large and seems to be increasing is

order to abate the nuisance, has directed
its agents not to receive any clipped or

follow this course they will soon be
crowded out of circulation and the petty
