MINOR DISPATCHES,

CNcTNNAT1 May 28.-It is announced
that the designations of G. T. Williams,
superintendent of the 7th district, with
headquarters at Cincinnati, and of Frank
A. Armstrong, manager of the Cincinnati
Office, have been rendered to the present
management of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.
Troy, Y, May 2S.-To-day one of the
Republican police commissioners was sus-
pended by the mayor for malfeasance in of
fee, and the board of commissioners i'm
mediately proceeded to select a police force
largely Democratic. The force is already
on duty, and the action of Mayor Murphy
gives general satisfaction. The city has
been without a police or detective force
since the second of this month.
GALVESTON, Tex, May 28.-At noon to-
day, NJ. Leon Chateau, of Paris, France,
delivered an address before the Chamber of
Commerce and the Cotton Exchange of this
city, upon the means for increasing Euro
pcan immigration to Texas and the Southern
States. The speech was well received.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The President to-
day appointed Charles Kayls, of Indiana,
consul general of the United States at
Berlin

Bridging the Bloody ChasHn.

RICHMOND, VA, May 26.-The Bos-
ton and Providence Commandery,
escorted by the Richmond Knights,
paraded this forenoon through the
principal streets of the eastern part
of the city. One of the most beau
tiful and touching incidents in
connection with the pres~
ent pilgrimage, and which
had been kept secret by those par-
ticipating in it, occurred before the
parade. The Boston Commandery,
at an early hour, marched from their
quarters to Capitol Square, and
forming around the statue of Stone
wall Jackson, stood with heads un>
covered and swords at "present,' u
and while their band played beau
tiful memorial overture" the
Knights in command moved forward
and placed at the base of the monu-
ment a most beautiful wreath of ever
greens and rare flowers. This tri-
butte from the brave New Englanders
to the great Confederate general,
occurring as it did on memorial day,
was d eply affecting, and moved
some spectators to tears.
A leading Virginian present re-
marked, "This will do more to re-
store complete fraternity among the
people of the North and South than
all the platforms that politicians
will frame during the present year.
The Commandery then marched
to the Washington Monument, within
the same grounds, and decorated it
also with flowers. The music here,
while equally appropriate, was not
so solemn as at Jackson's statue.

Decoration Day,

WASHINGTON, May 3O-Decoration
day was more generally observed
throughout the North and East than
on previous years. In many of the
principal cities business was entirely
suspended, and more than the usual
pomp and holiday circumstances
characterized the commemoration of
the event. At Philadelphia an espes
cially touching SIGHT occurred. On
Friday last all the children took pots
of flowers to school, to be distributed
among the various grand army posts,
and this morning they were trans
1erred to carriages, to be taken to
the various cemeteries. At most of
the schools the little ones assembled.
and IN accompanying the posts to
the graves formed a pleasant relief
to the dark blue uniforms of the
veterans.

NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.
CONKLING AND PLATT.
No Prospect for the Election of a
Senator To-Day.

ALBANY, n. Y, May 2O.-Vice-
President Arthur, ex-Senators Conk-
ling and Platt and several other
leading stalwarts reached this city
this morning and are at the Delevan
House There are very few members
of the legislature in the city and
there is no excitement.
The suggestion is made in some
quarters that the legislature take a
recess until after the November cleo
ton and then come together again
and vote for two United States Sena-
tors. It is said that then the mem-
bers can vote more independently of
influences which now govern them,
for the reason that they would know
the disposition of their constituents
toward them. If they were renom-
mated and reelected, they would
undersl and that their respective po~
sitions now on the question were
approved. IF they are not
re-nominated or not re-elect-
ed, they can vote accordingly.
This is attributed to the stalwarts.
The Administration supporters laugh
at this proposition as entirely insuf>
fcieut. They say they do not want
to consider any plans just now. All
they want is vote in joint session ;
no caucus, no plans, no machine con-
trivances whatever. Conkling and
Platt cannot now get the now requi-
site so votes, owing to the absence
of J. S. Carpenter. They say they
will accept their defeat. They do
not claim as yet that there will
be so votes against the resigning
Senators. The fact is, no one knows
certainly how the vote will stand.
The Administration section claim
every member who has requested
that his name be taken from the call
for the caucus as an opponent Of
Conkling The stalwarts at the
start put down some 80 names Of
members on their call for the caucus,
and these names crumbled away
until the list contained only a mi
nority, or some SO names. But
these who withdrew their names, or
most all of them, never signed the
paper ostracising Conkling and Platt.

For the West.

Yesterday the noon train west carried
away an estimabIe family from East Ten
nessee, DR.. Fordyce Grinnell and his wife
and little son, of Maryvile, left for the
Pine Ridge, or Red Clcud Agency of
Indians, in the Southern part of Dakota
Territory. This is about $50 miles north
of Sidney, Nebraska, the freighting point
on the Union Pacific Railroad for the
Black Hills
Dr. Grinnell has been appointed physic-
ian to the agency, which comprises more
than 60 Q Indians, place.h is eminently
qualified to fill. He has hsd experience in
the business, acquired several years ago in
the Indian Territory, and only relinqush>
ed the position then because of the pro-
tracted illness of his mother in Tennessee,
who has recently passed away.
If the new commissioner, Mr.. Price,
shal be as successful in getting the right
man in the right place in every instance,
his administration of Indian affairs will be
modelof excellence. An accomplished I'd
profe ssional gentleman, and one full of the
best i'm pulses for the welfare of the "wards
of the n nation," DR.. Grinnell, as we see the
matter, will fill the bill exactly, and, in
his efforts will be assisted by rarely en-
dowed life com mpanion, whose zeal in the
cause is not whit behind his own.
The aroused conscience of the country
demands earnest moral workers among the
Indians, from the highest to the lowest in
official position. II locks as though the
Secretary of the Interior and the commits
sioner are animated by keen sense of re-
sponsibility, such as is BETTING a Chris
tian people, in behalf of the much abused
red man.

SUMMARY OF SUNDAYS DISPATCHES

At a meeting of the stockholders of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad Company, held on Saturday, Judge
Ould rendered his resignation as president
giving as a reason that he could not be 6

roads carrying out the policy of discrimina
ton in favor of the Potomic Steamboat
Company, insisted upon by Pennsylvania
stockholders, who hold a controlling inter
est in the company. His resignation was
accepted, and Joseph P: Brinton, of Phila-
delphia, was elected as his successor.
At a fire in Alexandra, Saturday night,
two small children had been locked up by

THERE is very little doubt of the
nomination of Governor Foster for
reelection by the Republicans OF
Ohio. He is strong with the people
there, and if he cannot be elected no
Republican can. But there will be
no doubt of his election. His rec
ord is clean one. He has made a
good governor, and the Republicans
of Ohio will honor themselves by
re-electing him.

Churchmen in Council.

NEW YORK, May Go.-IhlS morn
ing's session of the Eighth General
Council of the Reformed Episcopal
Church was opened with the report
of the general committee on appro-
priations and fluids to be raised for
objects within the church. They re-
ported that S7,704 had been appro~
priated at lass nights session of the
committee and only $4,000 had been
pledged. The amount was then
made up. The long mooted and
troublesome question of the Gates
chism was brought up, as it has been
for tue last four years, at every sess
sion, without any definite result being
attained. The main issue involved
is that of eternal punishment, upon
which the council cannot agree.
Debate was in progress up to the
time of recess.
BUFFALO, N. Y, May 28.-The
ninth days session of the Presby-
terian General Assembly opened tos
day with service conducted by Revs.
J. and M. Charts, of South Carolina,
followed by DR.. Page, of Rochester.
The committee on the next place of
meeting reported Springfield, Ills,
as the place. That the sermon be
preached in the First Church of that
city, and the remaining sessions be
held, if the assembly 50 vote, in
the capitol building, according
to an invitation Of the governor and
Legislature. The report was adopted.
Rev. r. W. Patterson, D. D., of Chi
cago, presented the report of the
standing committee on systematic
benevolence. During the past year
there has been an increase of three
synods and thirty presbyteries, Or
ganized and acting either on the
assembly's plan of benevolence or
some other similar plan. This leaves
only seven of over thirty EIGHT syn
DDS and ffty-two presbyteries
out of one hundred and sevety- five that
are not know to cooperate with our
plan Two of the 7 synods and Is
of the SO presbyteries are on
foreign ground. The boards of tue
church are all reported to have re-
ceived increased contributions to
their treasures, ranging from about
$4,000 to $4,000 each, except the
freedmen's committee, which has re-
ceived $500 less than within pre-
ceeding years, but it suffered no de-
crease in the gifts of the church.
The net increase of contributions
is upwards of $85,000. Almost
all the regular causes of benevolence
report balances on their treasuIefs.
The number of collections from
churches has been increased by 694
within the year. Nearly 10000
blanks remain to be fillet by non
contributing churches. The cause
of home mlssionions received moth
ing from 1928 churches, and that of
foreign missions was treated likewise
by 2,34o churches. Further or
ganization is needed in synods,
presbyteries and churches. The
eport closed with a mum.
Der of recommendations, among
which was the following: That the
permanent committee be enlarged
SO as to distribute it's lBbors more
wisely, and to suggest that Cleve-
land be its centre, with ten persons
as NJ nbers of the committee, Ar
thar Mitchell, G S. Pomeroy, IL
