to answer or acknowledge receipt Of a

in November last from Fred H. Wines,

inquiring after police statistics, He
states that he had before addressed the
Head of our Local Government" bu:
without effect. In reply we will state
that while our town il an Incorporated
one, we have scarcely any police organ
ization which would come under the
heads in regard" to which information
is asked.
In December we also received let
ter from Chas. E, T. B. Davis. Capt.
of ENGINEERS, Galveston, also endorsed
by the Superintendent of the Census,
asking Information concerning the "Aow
Of water and the water shed Of streams
in this state, as we'll as information con
corning the capability of constructing
da ms and water works"
We regret that VIC have neither time
nor information sufficient to answer this
letter to edification, but should like to
turn it over to Prof Eve or some other
competent person for answer, especial'
ly as regards the San Marcos.
Lastly we have been remiss in not
sooner noticing some new contemporaries.
Of these ia the Schulenburg Enterprise,
conducted by Capt Mcdaniel, formerly
of the Lorkhart Echo. 1t is a neat,

not be elected before the next general cleo

mode adopted to secure the caucus,
and insisted that it was entirely regular
and proper. He closed by calling attention
to the fact that Mr.. Draper had voted for
Richard Crowley, who is also a member of

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
New YORK, July THE Fifth
Avenue Hotel was comparatively de-
serted to day. Conkling still ro-
mains, and receives few callers.
He is SAID to have been busily en-
gagged over the Senatorial struggle
at Albany, receiving and sending
numerous messages. He was visited
by few local politicians, and by
messengers from Albany. Tue super
intendent of public works, S. B.
butcher, and G. M. Dennison, of
Utica, were said to be among Conk-
ling's callers. Ex-senator Bouts
well, of Massachusetts, was at the
hotel for a few hours, on his way
from Washington to Boston, and
most of the time he was at the hotel
he spent with Conkling. Ex- Senator
Dorsey, eX-Assistan5 Postmaster
General Brady, and J. B. Rice, of
Missouri, well known in connection
with the Star route frauds, were 10
the hotel and were reported among
Conklings callers.
"The object of Conkling in con-
tinuing the struggle at Albany" said
Barney Biglin, an intimate friend, to-
night, to Tribune reporter, !" is to
secure his own return to the Senate,
or else force an adjournment without
an election. He will advise his
friends not to abide by the caucus
decision if one should be held to-
morrow, unless he is named as one
of the candidates. He believes he
can do this with consistency, as the
Administration Republicans refused
to GO into caucus some time ago.
who will he support in case of a
contest between Crowley and Cor
nell for the nomination ? was asked.
"Crowley, most assuredly. Cor
nell has not proved true to him, and
Copkling knows it
IF the caucns tomorrow should
nominate Depew and Cornell, what
course would Conkl;ug pursue7"
He has advised his friends to
| vote with the Democrats for an i'm
mediate adjournment, and allow the
matter to go to the people tor settle
ment He will never surrender or
give up so long as there is any pos
sible way out of it.
" Can he hold enough members to
! L
caucus decision agains4 him!"
He will advise his supporters to
keep themselves out of the caucus,
and he believes tbey will stick to
him, but he admits that the senti.
ment of the people are against him.
This he attributes to the press. If
ne is defeated he will begin the prac-
tlce OF law in this city, provided he
does not take trip abroad"

Sweltering Weather

Yesterday may be safely scored as the
hottest of the season " in this locality, and
the mercury rubbed 100 . SO close there
was no fun in tin fact so far from being
fun, the heat was almost unendurable At
the signal Office the maximum thermometer
was registered at 96o At various points
about the city it ranged from 95 . to 90 :
IN the shade, the latter being the highest

SUBSTANTIAL SYMPATHY.

rate Fund of $3.50. 900 for
Mrs. Garfield.


New York, July TN response
to a call for special meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce, to take some
action in regard to the attempted
assassination Of the President, a
large number of members assembled
to day. Cyrus W. Field offered res
olutions, which were unanimously
adopted, setting forth their unspeak-
able grief and Indignation at the at
tempted ASSASSINATION of President
GARFIELD, and their being deeply
moved by the Christian heroism with
which he has met this appalling
calamity, that has alarmed the whole
country, and compared with which
political contentious and per-
sonal interests have sunk into
insign' fcance, rendering to the Presi-
dent their heartfelt congratulations
that by tue aid of Divine Providence
he has so far survived perils that
seemed deadly, and that he retains
his faculties in full vigor and COM
posure of spirit; offering to his he
roic wife, aged mother and his chill
dren their deepest sympathy in this
their sorest trial, and congratulatlng
the country and themselves on the
fact that the Chief Magistrate, by
his own display of the highest quail
ties of manhood, has done SO much
to sustain the hopes of the people as
to his final recovery, and the hope
that a continuance of his life will be
the means of bringing together the
best men of all parties and sections.
s. Il. Chittenden, in the course OF
his remarks, said this attempted
murder had no politics in it what
ever.
Cyrus ". Field then announced
to the members present that mum,
Ter of gentlemen had determined tc
raise S250,O0O, which is to be in
vested in United States bonds and

therefrom to be paid to Mrs. Garfield

sid if the two men nominated

Senator Mccarthy, when his name was

Mr.. Astor, referred to his vote for MIR.
Jrowley. He voted for Eldridge and lap
