HERBERT SPENCER.
Arrival of the Eminent English scienf.
tst at New York.

NEW YORK, August 23-Herbert Spencer,
the eminent English scientist, arrived in this
city on the Cunard steamer Servia. He was
accompanied by Edward Lott, of Derby, an
old and intimate friend, who will be Mr..
Spencer's companion during his two or
three months stay in America. The gen.
tlemen were met at the Cunard wharf, at
the foot of Clarkson street, by Prof. Edward
|. Youmans, editor of the Popular Sci
ence Monthly and personal friend of Mr..
Spencer. They were driven at once TO Prof.
Youmans's residence, No. "a West Sixteenth
street, and remained there throughout the
day. Mr.. Spencer's visit to this country is
solely for the benefit of his health and to Sc
cure rest and recreation, of which he stands
in great need. The constant and combining
labor expended in the completion of his work
ON sociology had undermined Mr.. Spencer's
health, and it was thought the sea voyage
might benefit him. He was, however
i'll during nearly all of the voyage, and suf-
fered greatly from sleeplessness, finding it
almost impossible to obtain any rest. AS
result he is now very much enfeebled. He
passed the greater part OF to-day on his
couch, and retired soon after dinner in order
10 obtain much needed rest and sleep. Mr..
Mr.. Spencer ia sixty years of age. He will
leave the city tomorrow or Wednesday for
few days of absolute rest and quiet in the
country. His future movements will be
governed by the length of time re-
quired TO regain his strength. His plans,
50 far as they are perfected, to
visit in this city for a short time, going from
here to Canada fer a visit of some length.
After "doing" Canads, Mr.. Spencer will go
to Chicago and st. Louis, and, after visiting
those cities, he will return and make a visit
of some length in this city, Boston and other
Eastern cities. Further than this, nothing
has been definitely settled upon in regard to
his movements, but it is understood that it is
his desire to escape from dinners, receptions
and other social obligations, in order that he
may the more rapidly regain the health and
strength in search of which he has come to
this country.

MANY persons in England as we'll as in

Ply. The population OF these districts is
low not less than ] 100000, and there is

|sther than decreased. There are published
b Welsh twelve weekly newspapers. eighteen
Magazines and two quarterlies, some of them

ions from L lslish into Welsh are made

/ 18th exaggeration, that "the people of Wales
Ire, in many important respects, as far re-
bowed from the people of England as if the

RAILROAD RATES.
Important Agreement Affecting All
Southwestern Pool Lines.

CHICAGO, August 23.-An important agree
ment affecting the earnings of all Southwest
ern pool lines was made at a meeting here
to-day. The meeting grew out of the fact
that the st. Louis and San Francisco, and
Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf roads, for
over year past, have been offering special
inducements for freight between st. Louis
and Kansas City via Springfield, Mo. Though
tina route is more than twice as long as the
lines of the Southwestern pool, it was a
disturbing element, and liable to cause q
break in the pool. To obviate this, Com
missioner Midgely was empowered to offer the
Fort Scott line a monthly payment equal
to its receipts from this traffic. The PROPOSE
ton was rejected. Lately the Rock Island
road, a member of the pool, made pro-
rating arrangement with the Fort Scott line
on business to Springfield, Mo-, MA Kansas
City, thus Furnishing the st. Louis and San
Francisco line. The result was, at to-day's
meeting, that the Fort Scott and San Fran
cisco lines sgreed TO abandon the freight line
between Kansas City and St. Louis, via
Springfield, Mo-, and the Rock Island can
celed the pro-rating arrangement with the
Fort Scott and other pool lines, agreeing not
to compete for traffic in the territory prop
erly belonging to he Two offending lines.

CASH COMING IN.
TREASURY RECEIPTS LARGER THAN EVER
BEFORE KNOWN.

WAsHINaToN, August 23-The receipts at
the treasury are daily more than ever known
before within the memory of officials of the
department. The amount averages 81 $780,
900 every day, and were it not that the
special appropriations made by Congress for
private claims, Deficiencies, etc., are pouring
in, the tdebt reduction for the month would
be the largest in the history of the last
twenty years. The receipts this month will
amount to nearly S50,000,000. From this
there is to be taken as one item SIS, $685. 900
for pensions alone, besides current expenses
and the special warrants above mentioned.
Ever since Congress adjourned, on the Sth Of
the month, there have been from 240 to 800
of those claims under deficiency bills and
private claims put through each day, and
from this source it is estimated that the dis
bursements will not fall much short of
81 100000 day. This class of drafts on
the treasury will soon fall of, however, for
usually during the month after Congress adj
journs every claim provided for in the ap-
preparation bills is presented. While the
debt reduction may not be so great this
month, it is not unlikely that next months
surplus will require another call for three
and-a-half per cents TO dispose of it.

DETROIT, August 23.-Intelligence has
been received here from Jackson that after
debate in the Democratic State Convention,
Lasting nearly the entire afternoon, propo-
sition for fusion with the Greenbsckers was
carried by large majority. By this propo-
sition the Stale ticket will be divided between
the two parties as follows: The Green
hackers have governor, commissioner OF
land office, superintendent of public in
struction, and a member of the Board
of Education. The Democrats have
lieuten&nt-governor, secreretary of state
state treasurer and auditor-genersl. The
opposition fought vigorously TO secure the
Democrats the head of the ticket, but it was
understood that this would not be acceptable
TO the Greenbackers. The news from Grand
Rapids is to the effect that this proposal is
accepted by the convention in session there
and that the Hon. ]. w. Begole, of Flint, an
eI-member of Congress, was nominated for
governor. The remainder of the nomina.
tions is likely to be made this evening.
