CHICAGO, May 26.-The officials of the
Illinois Central, Rock Island & Pacific, Chi
cago, Burlington g. Quincy and Chicago,
Milwaukee g. ST. Paul railroads and Post Of
ficials held conference to-day with Post
master General Howe on the subject of fast
mail. The general drift of the talk was in
the direction of fast train between New
York and Chicago In twenty-five hours (;
Chicago and Omaha, IA hours and ether
points In proportion, making asaving OF time
In hours, between New York and points
named as follows: Chicago, eight hours;
Omaha, twenty-one; Cheyenne, twenty-nine;
Denver, thirty-two; Salt Lake and San
Francisco, twenty-nine. The train between
New York and Chicago Is to be exclusively
mail train; those further west to carry
passengers. 1t Is understood that the pool
of three lines between Chicago and Omaha
might operate against fast train In that di-
rection, as the line chosen would thus be
advertised, and would get majority of the
business. Another conference will be held
tomorrow or Monday. ..a..a
CHICAGO, May 26.--Postmaster General
Howe, now here, says the money to expedite
mails, specially appropriated by Congress,
will probably be used to increase the speed.
He Is here TO hasten the fast train between
New York and San Francisco. The chief
question is now whether II shall leave New
York in the morning or evening. Opinions
on this point differ. The interests Of New
York and Chicago seemed to clash regarding
the time, which will probably result in both
morning aud evening train. Healso thinks
there should be faster time between New
England and the Southwestern States, with
New Orleans or jome other city As distrib-
uting point. He expects hearty cooper
alton from the railroad officials.

A f-Iercaf Idiot-()ne of Manv

NEW YORK, May 26.-At the Baptist Mis-
sion Society meeting here, one Rev, P. Fl.
Henson, of Chicago, said, in speaking of the
Chinese question, that 1t was one that affect.
ed civilization, and no embargo from Wash
ington could shut off immigration through
the Golden Gate. The ten years bill was a
failure. He said he had no faith In Con-
gress, and no faith in common schools unless
their teachings were impregnated with Chris
tian principles. To educate a mans brain,
he said, was to put rifle Into the hands of a
Modoc. He had no faith In newspapers, and
sometimes thought all newspapers, except
religious ones, should be suppressed.

mediately upon the disposal Of the japanese

The long contested squabble over the
postmastership at Tombstone was settled
finally to-day by the commission of F. C.
Brooks as postmaster. John p. Clum Is the
present incumbent, and was strong candi-
date for reappointment. He was nominated
by the President and confirmed by the SEN
ate some time since, but his commission
was withheld, and in the meantime Brooks
received the nomination and vas also con-
firmed, and bis commission also withheld
for several months, during holly contested
fight over the matter by the friends of both
parties, in which revolvers and other imple-
ments of war freely figured. Clum, beside
being postmaster, is mayor of Tombstone,
and has various times been compelled to
fee from the wrath of certain faction there
hostile to his reign. Mere trouble Is appre-
hended when Brooks endeavors to take pos
session of the Office as postmaster.

ROSECRANS.
A Manifesto from Him to His Constituents.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The following
manifesto has been furnished by General
Rosecrans, with request for its publication
by the California press
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, I
WASHINGTON, May %, 1882.
To My Constituents
speak with unreserved frankness. Pub
lie interests of great moment, local and ma
tional, induced me to sacrifice my personal
feelings, to place my name, at your dispo-
sal, to lead forlorn hope in 1880. 1t was
successful, and the interests of still greater
national magnitude make it my duty to ask
you In return to disregard personal and local
preferences for the common veal. Without
aid from the associated press or the newspa-
pers, it will not be difficult for you to con-
clude that my brief service as your Repre-
sentative has been honest and faithful, and
for an influence and standing with both par
ties in the House, 1t is safe to say your pres
ent Representative is at least as high as any
of his predecessors. On the question Of
Chinese immigration, the delegation from
our Coast all worked nobly, but I think it
within the truth to say that did more than
all Of them to secure that solid Democratic
vote in the House which beat down all mu-
tilation Of the amendments and passed both
bills. The press did not give you this news,
but refuse to say whether you will allow
wire-pullers and stabbers of regulations, by
suggesting what. 10 false and suppressing
what Is true, to prevent you from doing me
justice. This requires that it should be ex-
pressed by my nomination to Congress. l
make this frank appeal, because l am not .
politician, and am absent from you, and
learn that combinations are At work that
may tie you hand and foot. appeal to the
Democracy and the labor elements with con-
fdence, and trust that the pursuit of person.
al interests will not prevent their leaders
from showing how to subordinate private in
terests to those Of the whole country, and
that they will so act as to command the ap-
prevail of their brethren throughout the
Union. w. s. RosEcRANs.

with The bones Of va. =, a..itnais. The
skull IN question was ths only perfect one,
and near it were found some abnormally
large body bones. The man who bore 1t
was evidently a giant. A thorough inves-
tigation of the mound and its contents will
be made by the Historical Society.

A REVEREND gentleman announced In
New York the other day that he had no
faith In Congress. Shocking! Perhaps the
government of the country by Conference,
or Convocation, or Presbytery would suit
him better. He also thinks religion should
be taught in the public schools and that Sec
ular newspapers should be suppressed. In
view OF the recent prosecutions Of Christians
by Mohamedan Turkey, of the persecution
or the Jews by Christian Russia, a man must
be very blind who would wish to put the
management of public affairs and OF all edu-
cation In the hands of religIosos.

yellow man of the east, he is as quick as the
western man to take advantage of circum-
stances and compel an increase of wages.
He has as little desire to work cheap as any
other tuiler.

BOGUS BONDS.
Startling Developments of Wholesale For
gerry.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Treasury
authorities are very much interested in the
statement to them on Saturday by Brockway
alias Spencer, but they refuse to give out
any details. 1t is understood that Brockway
has made additional revelations, going to
show where evidence can be found to con-
vict the parties guilty of permitting the
transfer which has been made from the
Government plates. The logical inference
Is that some startling results may be expect
ed. If one plate can be duplicated why not
all of them? If one plate Is in existence
representing duplicate of Government
work, why might not thousands be? There
Is apparently no limit to the extraordinary
developments threatened If Mr.. Doyle Is to
be released. The Treasury officials said
Yesterday that the counterfeiting business
appears at last to have been established Oh
safe and permanent basis. All that is ne
cessary to carry on that business Is to have
some one in the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing to furnish impressions of the dies
of the Government, and then the combinA-
ton manufactures q number of plates and
proceeds to business. The reserved stock Of
plates concealed will furnish the counter
feiters, wherever arrested, with means to es-
cape, and then the business can be resumed
again, with very slight interruption.
AS GOOD AS THE GENUINE.
There were $204, 200 worth of bonds found
upon DOYLE. One of the members
of the secret service here says that
these bonds were so good that he took them
to a certain bank in Chicago, and the cashier
told him after being told they were counter
felt that he still would take them without
hesitation. He believed that they were gen.
uins in spite of the statement, and said they
were plenty good enough to do business
with. Now the Government has no evidence
that the bonds captured with Doyle were all
that were out, and no reason to suppose that
millions of them might not have been print-
ed, and that they have already been added
to the circulation of the country. 1t Is ma
tural to suppose that If the couuterfeiters
were going to print any Of these bonds they
would print more than 200 of them. There
is not much in the way of absolute informa-
ton. The heads of the Administration are
very much agitated at the disclosures, and
are doing their best to quiet everything
down, so as not to create panic.
