PRESIDENTIAL COMPETITORS.
How Hendricks and Mcdonald Ignored
Each Other at Banquet.

I0diG2d31OEls Special, IIth.
An incident which may have some po-
litical significance, inasmuch as it pretty
cOnclusiyely proves that ex-senator Nc
Donald and Thomas A. Hendricks are
personally as well as politically at swords
points, occurred this evening at a ban
quet rendered the Macon Volunteers, a
Georgia military organization. The ban
quet took place at the Bates House and
was attended by Governor Porter, Mr..
Hendricks, Mr.. Mcdonald and number
of other Indiana notables and politicians
of different compilations. When the ban
quent hall was thrown open and the
guests assembled, the master of GER
emonies, either designedly or acci-
dentally, conducted the two Democratic
leaders to adjoining seats near
the head of the banqueting board. 1t was
evident from the first that the situation
was very delicate one, but an attempt to
rectify matters by changing their seats
would have only added to the embarrass-
ment of each, and they were compelled to
sit side by side for two mortal hours, dur
ing which time they occupied themselves
in cOnversing very glibly with the gentle
men next to them and across the table,
neither, however, addressing a word to
the other or appearing to notice his pres
ence. The affair has caused no little talk
among the faithful, by whom it is regard
ed as conclusive evidence that the recent
ly published interview with Mr.. Hend-
ricks, in which he expressed so keen an
appreciation of Mr.. Tilden's worth and a
desire to see the old ticket of 1876 renomi-
mated, has been resented by Mr.. Mcdonald
to the extent of his refusal to recognize
his former colleague. Certain it is that
the split between them is regarded as be-
yond hope of healing.

UNCLE SANS PROMISES TO PAY.
Amounts Laid BY for a Rainy Day and
by Whom.

Washington Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Washington Sunday Herald has the
following interesting gossip as to the hold
ers of United States securities:
The semi-annual payment of interest
on registered U. 5. bonds, which occurs
in January and June, is now being made.
While it is very difficult to obtain exact
information as to the largest receivers of
interest from this class of United States
bonds, yet, like almost anything else here,
1t can be had if one wants it badly enough.
This year the largest single bondholder
the Treasury Department knows is Mr..
Vanderbilt, who will receive the interest
on $37, 100000. A year ago he had $5O, ,000,-
600, but he has disposed of $13,0 900 for
some purpose.
The next largest owner is Mrs. A. L.
Stewart, who has about $50, 900 900. AS
some of hers are coupon bonds, the amount
of her holding cannot exactly be told. Ten
years ago Mr.. A. T. Stewart had $40, ,OO0,.
600 in bonds, the most of them being skies.
Mr.. Gould has S13,000,000 in registered
bonds, and large number of coupon
bonds, which he keeps to use as collat-
erals in Wall street when he needs large
sums of money. A California millionaire,
Mr.. Flood, is the next largest holder He
has $ls,00O,0O0. Then there is an estate
in Boston and three or four persons in
New York who have each $4,000, 900, and
lady in New YOrk-unmarried, TOBIAS
$S,OOO,0OO. The estate of Moses Taylor, in
New York, has So, ,000, 900, and ID. O. Mills,
Whitelaw Reid's father-in-law, s., ,000, 900.
On the other side of the water American
securities are very popular, and are pre-
ferred to those of other nations, because
the rate of interest is higher than that
paid by any other great power. The
house of the ROthschilds holds nearly one
quarter of Americas whole bonded debt,
as, including all the bankers of that
name, they have $40O, 1000, 900. Baron Leo
pold and Sir Nathan Meyer De RothschiId
each owns $30,O00,O00, and the head of the
Vienna house has $25, 900, 900 in his own
right. Lady Hannah De Rothschild, who
married the Earl of Roseberry year or
two ago, brought to her really impover-
ished husband $20,000,000 in American
four and a halfs.

A TERRIBLE SNAKE.
More Deadly than the Cobra or the
Korait.
Mem York Sam


A new snake, called the echis carinata.
which is the first specimen of its race seen
in England, and of which we have no
specimen here, is attracting crowds to the
Regents Park, London, and dividing sem
satiOn with Oscar Wilde in his new
sheared and common sense form. 1t is
about foot and half long, and the color
is dingy gray. 1t is the deadliest of
created things, for it carries in its tiny
head the secret of destroying life with
the sudden rapidity of lightning and the
concentrated agony of all p0isOns.
This king of the asps is more dangerous
than the cobra or the korait, for il does
not turn and run like the one, or flash
into cold cOncealment like the other. but
with fearless pluck gives fight, and pitches
its eighteen inches of length against any
conner. A stroke of stick will break
it in two, or stone will smash it, but
such is its venomous malignity that it
will challenge attack by every device in
its power, stalking its own life on the
mere chance of its adversary coming
within the little circle of its reach. At
most the radius OF that circle is twelve
inches, but within it at any point lies
certain death, and in the bare hope of
hand or foot trespassing within its reach,
the echis throws its body into figure~of-
eight coil, and, attracting attention by
rubbing It's loops together, which, from
the roughness Of the scales (hence the
epithet carinata), makes rustling
sound, erects its head in the centre and
awaits attack. No one having once
encountered this terrible little crea-
ture can forget its truculent aspect
when aroused; its eagerly aggres-
sive air; its restless coils, which, in
constant motion one over another,
and rustling ominously all the time, bring
it nearer and nearer to the object of its
fury; It's eye, malignant even beyond those
of other vipers; and then the inconceiva-
BILE rapidity of it's strokes. The echis does
not wait to strikeuntil it is within strik-
ing distance, but vents its malice in re-
peatedly darting at nothing, hoping to
aggravate its antagonist into coming to
closer quarters, or more probably as a
mere expression of its own incOntrolla5le
ViciOusness.

LEO AND HIS SUBJECTS.
The ArchbishOps of America to Meet i
Rome in the Fall

The ArchbishOps of America to Meet in
Rome in the Fall.
CHICAGO, June 15.-The statement is
published here that Archbishop Feehan,
of this Catholic archdiocese, together
with all the Archbishops in
America, has been called to Rome
by the Pope to consult with refer
ence to the proposed Plenary Council for
this country to consider matters of church
policy and discipline in America. 1t is
not definitely known, but it is supposed
that the council will consider rela-
tiOnS which the church should assume to-
wards the members of the Irish National
Land League of America. The Arch
bishops are to appear in Rome in Septem-
ber.
PEORIA, ILL, June 15.-Bishop Spald-
ing this morning cOrroborated the state
ment that the Catholic ArchbishOps of the
United States have been commanded to
assemble at Rome next October to ar
range programme for the Plenary Coun-
Gil to be held in America. The business
of the council will only pertain to the
ecclesiastical Offices in this country, not
involving Irish affairs. Bishop Spalding
left Rome three months ago with the
above outlines of the Pontifical intentions
at the time of his departure. The plans
for the establishment of a Catholic uni
versity in this country are immature.
New YORK, June 15.-Mr. Hickey, edi-
tor of the Catholic ReUielc, this afternoon,
in speaking of the published statement
that Pope Leo had summoned all the Arch
bishops in America to Rome for a confer
ence in reference to the proposed Plenary
Council for this country to consider the
matter of church policy, said that 1t was
true. He also stated that the summons
was in the form of an invitation, but that
it would be acted upon as a command,
and only those ArchbishOps whose health
would not permit of the journey would be
excused.

A Young Editors Good Fortune.


About three years ago young bOy left
Philadelphia to seek his fortune in the
West. He went to Colorado, and having
had some experience in newspaper work.
supported himself for awhile by writing
letters to the Chicago papers. To use the
native phrase of this country, he finally
"got stuck on mines." He had been in the
West about year, when he fell in with an
old fellow, who was an expert mining en-
gineer. The two became fast friends.
The newspaper writer knew little about
mines and less about prospecting. Then
he was rather frail young man, ill
fitted for such a hard life. He drifted
into New Mexico, and was employed on
the Los Vegas Gazette, afterwards getting
control of it. He worked very hard, and
divided his earnings with the old miner
whom he had Joined, without question.
He ''grub-staked'' him for all of his pros
pecting tours, and every now and then,
when he would come into civilization,
furnished him the extra money he required
for spree and new clothes. For two long
years, in season and out of season, this
young boy stood by and helped the miner
from out OF his Scanty earnings.
II met this old prOspectOr," said he,
''whO is a thoroughly educated man and
a member of the Royal College of Mining
Engineers. / had faith in his honesty and
ability, and for more than two years our
mining interests have been inseparable. |

man ever since we met, and, although it
has been a long time coming, have
never lost faith in his striking it fat some
day. l suppose have given him 81 800 to
$4,000 in all, and would have continued to
help him as long as he wanted it. 1t was
mighty hard grubbing for both of us some
times, but we stuck to one another as
though everything had been sunshine. A
few weeks ago he struck it very rich,
and, like the honorable, honest man that
he is, he at once transferred me one-half
interest in all his claims, seven in num-
ber."
''Was he bound to be so Iiberal?''
''Not at all. Everything depended upon
his sense of right. Legally he was not
bound to give me anything, but he has
more than justified my opinion of him as
man of honor and ability"

Starvation in Ireland.

A revolving story of want comes from
the parish of Curry, Ireland, when all the
tenants upon the Knox estate were re-
Gently evicted. A relief committee hay-
ing been sent there, they report in detail
the condition of the sufferers. One fam
lily, including seven children, We're found
living in an open shed unfit even for cat
tie, and have no means of support what
ever. Another family of twelve dwelt for
three nights after eviction under a miser-
able roof which they made out of sticks
and straw. They then went to the
house of a friend, who did not
let them remain long for fear of
the bailiff. A man, wife and
five children were found gro1!ped
round small fire in sand-pit without
any protection at all. One family of six
were living IN barn, the mother sick and
keeping warm over fire beside ditch in
the open air. In one case the husband
had gone to England, while a nine-years-
old child had managed to build hut for
his mother and little brothers and sisters.
In many cases rude sheds were construct
ed, but often whole families with little
children were compelled to live beside a
lire in ditch or embankment with no
possible protection from the weather, often
only partially clothed, presenting a re-
y0lting and heart-rending sight.

AN Ex-MILLIoNAIRE's SUICIDE.
Arrested for Petty Thefts He Takes His

the millionaires of that city, recently be-

Putney, and yesterday afternoon he was
arrested. at his cottage at Nantasket.
The officers with their prisoner took the
steamer for Boston, and, upon Putney's
solicitation, did not put irons on him.
Putney desired to avoid people he might
know on the boat, and he was allowed to
move about. Suddenly, while chatting
with the officers he stepped upon a seat
alongside the rail and plunged overheard.
He was taken. from the water by boats

EXILES AMONG REDSKINS
THE CONSOLATION OFFERED
THE CHIRICAHUAS.

The San Carlos Indians Protest Against
any of the Renegades Being Received
on their ReservatiOn-Seereta Teller
Expresses Himself in Sympathy with
the Request.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The following
telegram was received by Secretary Tel
Ter to-day:
SAN CARLOS, A. T., June IA, 1888.
TO III. ". Teller, Secretary Of the Interior,
Washington, ID. c..
SRA large number of leading Indians
who met in.council to-day, sent for me
and especially protested against the re-
turn of the Chiricahua men and bows.
They say that trouble is sure to follow
such course. They want the chiefs and
head men punished and the other men
sent where they cannot return. They
do not object to the women and children
coming here. They ask me to make known
their views to You and Gen. Crook and
urge their adoption. All of the bands
unite in this request. They say that they
desire to remain at peace with their white
neighbors, but that the Chiricahuas will
return to the war path as soon as they
grow strong again, and the reservation
Indians will then be charged with
having aided and encouraged them.
Assuring them of my confidence in the
wisdom of the authorities who would
have to decide the matter, l promised
them to present their petition as evidence
of the business of their position.
WILCOX, Agent.
Secretary Teller has telegraphed to
Agent Wilcox, directing him to receive
none of the Chiricahuas except children.
The Secretary says that the bucks must
take care of their women.
