himself Grants strength at the national
convention when it shall appear that he

suspected of treachery to the old COM

his speech on the Porter case was a

He arrived yesterday morning, registered at

looked as ''sllck" as any in the land. During
the day he cultivated the acquaintance Of sew
eral commercial drummers. all of whom have

counted to be as fly as they make 'em.
The young man from the city of magnifi-
cent remoteness put on more lugs than

teeth had been ont go long that they might be
in lamentable condition of decay. In the
course of the afternoon the commercial men
indulged in a social game of cards, in which
the young man was invited to take hand, the
invitation being complied with.
The game grew interesting and during the
amusement the young man remarked that he
held a good poker hand, inssresponse to which
one of the party said he believed he had hand
that could see him and if need be 90 him bet
ter. This settled it and the parties got to bet
ting. The young man put up his ready change,
$50, and the drummer saw him. He then pro-
duced check for $3.50 and in this he was also
accommodated. The music stopped here and
the parties were called to show their hands.
The Young man laid down full hand, three
jacks and pair of queens, and his astonish-
ment was great when the drummer called the
turn by spreading his hand, which consisted of
three aces and pair of trays.
The Washington man squealed, and after
considerable fuss and chin music the hotel pro-
prietor induced the drummer to refund the

casualties at twenty-one officers, three hun
dred Europeans and seven hundred natives
killed or missing, and five officers and ninety

Gen. Stewart and political officers strongly
favor evacuation. The country is nearly ex-
hausted of supplies, the camps are tainted
from long occupation and the troops suffer
greatly frem exposure on guard and from con-
voy duty.

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Lower cables again for
wheat and opening about Saturday closing,
but it did not laat long before the market
weakened and prices fell, closing at 871sc Sep
t,mber; S711sc October. The weak feature was
that apparently there was no demand at all for
cash, and New York being very weak and lower
it was no wonder that we could hold our own.
Corn opened the same as Saturdays closing
and improved little, bnt report of rain hav-
ing fallen yesterday in Kansas made the bears
take courage, and as receipts were rather large
prices for September went as low as 37Iac at
closing. However, as charters to-day were
very heavy, probably more than one million,
the boss is still on deck aud is able as we'll as
willing to handle the deal.
Oats lower, free receipts bringing out many
sellers.
Provisions neglected and lower. The interest
was absorbed in waiting for an amendment to
rules so as to make summer packed mess pork
regular.
The amendment was lost however, and the
deserted grease ring began the play again as
soon as it was evident which way the wind
would blow the amendment. Don't think for
moment that anybody thinks he knows
which way the Armoured man is going to blow
the price of pork, and it therefore ia really no
wonder that prices often fuctuate thirty.

yer for Manitou by special train this morning,
where they met Gen. Grant and escorted him
to Denver. The party arrived at the depot at
5:45 this afternoon. Upon the arrival of the
train a salute was fired. after which
a procession was formed of military and civic
organizations and proceeded through the prin-
cipal streets to the hotel. The general was
mounted on gray horse. The houses along
the lire of march were gaily decorated and
every available spot was point of
observation for people. All along the general
was welcomed with hearty cheers, Upon ar
irving at the hotel the general dismsunted and
entered the building, but in response
to calls from the crowd soon appeared
upon the balcony and bowed pleasantly. The
General then turned to retreat, when
the crowd clamored for speech,
whereupon he smiled and said: "Com-
ades, l thank You, but all 1 wish to say
is to introduce to you Gov. Routt, whom I
know to be very fond of talking to a large
crowd" Gov. Routt said but few words and
then retired. Areception was held tonight.

Illinois and Inaiana-Vsews of Gen. Black

LChicago Times Sunday.l
a Times interviewer had talk with Gen. J.
O. Black, OF Danville yesterday afternoon, rel
alive to the political situation in Illinois.
The general was not very prolix, but said, in
substance, that he believed every Democ ratio
vote in Illinois would be polled for Trumbull
and the ticket If that vote came out with
the strength which it really has, he believed a
victory might be achieved.
How will the independent, or conservative,
vote affect Mr.. Trumbull's chancA?" inquired
the Times man.
i have no respect for what is called the con
servative yote-it is always cowardly," answer.
ed the general briskly. PERSONALLY, despise
man who is politically on the fence, when the
issues are plain before him. The election of
Gen. Hancock will restore the country to q
feeling of entirety 1t will be the abolition of
sactionalism.'
But the reports from Indiana do not ap-
pear to be very encouraging from Democratic
standpoint remarked the interviewer.
4 have only just returned from there"
answered the general, ''and have failed to
md anywhere in that State the disunion and
decentralization said by Republican organs to
exist there. Everywhere went found the
people enthusiastic for the State and national
tickets of the Democratic party. Of course
the Republicans would like to see disunion
and decentralization, and that is why their
newspapers are constantly misrepresenting the
condition of the campaign. 1 feel assured
that we shall carry Indiana by a very hand
some ma iority in October"
Gen. Black said that the country never had
SO tine an opportunity to bury forever the spirit
OF dlscord as that presented by the candidacy
OF sach soldier and patriot as Winfield Scott
Hancock.

FALSE REPOR'
TIE FAIR At MINNEAPOLIS.

Big Attractions and a Rig Attendance
| sCOming--.PrOpOsed Union of the Cities
In Future Fairs.
The evidences from our exchanges indicate a
grand success with our neighbors in their expo
sition at Minneapolis. Excursions are organ
izing throughout the West to visit the great
fair. As far South as Cairo on the Illinois Cen
tral, thirteen coaches will fill with party of
several hundred. From Chicago, Milwaukee,
Dubuque, Davenport. Burlington, Cedar Rap
ids, Fort Dodge, Omaha, and as far West as
Denver, we see notices Of parties organizing to
visit Minnesota during fair week. st. Paul
will undoubtedly be crowded with strangers
during the week, and the capacities of both
cities taxed to their utmost to entertain
the multitude. The convenience of our two
railway lines, with the probable completion OF
the new Milwaukee & ST. Paul short lines, will
give us O train every twenty minutes each way,
with run of from twenty-five or thirty min
utes. This will make the fair grounds almost
equally accessible TO both cities. AS st. Paul
does not indulge in fair, our people will at
tend the Minneapolis exposition and make
the most of it,
The fact that there is to be but one fair this
year will have very strong tendency to create
a union of the two cities in permanent joint
exposition, perhaps at Fort Smelling OF at least
at some equally accessible point between the
cities. The Minneapolis grounds have be-
come too valuable to be retained for fair pur-
poses, and we have the best of means for
knowing that the people of that city will meet
this city half way in securing new grounds and
making joint exposition in the future
worthy of their combined efforts.
Both cities have had experience
with the State Fair organization and it has
been fully demonstrated that to make fair or
exposition q success it must be managed by
parties directly interested, and conducted on
business principles. 1t is unnecessary to en-
large on our experience in aiding an organiza-
tion which we cid not control. The people of
st. Paul do not need any information on that
point.
To make the exposition a success perms-
nency is another important point. Grounds
properly located where absolutely permanent
buildings can be erected and Improvements
made from year to year as the growth and
progress of the ass ,oiation is developed, are
absolute essentials.
The prominently successful fair associations
throughout the country are those organized on
business principles, with settled and perma-
nent place of business, where every industry
has an equal opportunity and those general in
centives that can only come from an unpredu-
diced and unbiased management. This is the
end for which we must work. This can beand
will be accomplished. and the situation the
present year is practical guarantee that there
will be no further divided efforts in annually
demonstrating the greatness of the State and of
her leading cities
