Apollo Commaudery of Knights Templars
start on Their Pilgrimage.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Apollo Com
mandery of Knights Templars, 115 strong,
marched out OF their asylum at o'clock this
evening in full reealia, thus entering upon a
pilgrimage the most pretentious, possibly,
ever contemplated by modern body of
these knights OF the red cross and black
plume. They were escorted to the Michigan
Central depot by large body of active men,
bers OF Apollo, which, numerically, is one of
the strongest orders in the country, and spe-
cial escort of sixty will accompany the knights
as far as New York, where the main body
will board the steamer City of Rome for
Liverpool. 1t is expected that the body
will be sensibly augmented at New York.
The total number of the order enlisted for
the pilgrimage is 165 The knights carry
with them their full uniforms, to be used on
occasions of public displays and reception.
The Apollos have been notified that a reeep-
tion awaits them in the city of London at
the hands of members in that city. From
that city the tourists will break up into
small parties and travel on the continent for
a period of two or three months, according to
their own dictates The special train carry
ing them left the depot promptly at 7, amid
the cheering of their friends and vast gem
eral assem- blage.

Canvassing for Its Location, with the
Chances in Favor of Indianapolis.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 12.-The location of the
next national Republican convention is being
very generally discussed here and in New
York, and from appearances the contest for
the honor will be between New York, Sara
toga and indianapolis, with the chances in
favor of the latter. Indianapolis came very
nearly carrying off the prize in $780, and the
reasons why the convention of 1884 should
be held there are stronger than they were
three years ago. 1t is more than probable
that ex-senator Mcdonald will be the
Democratic nominee for the presidency
and as Indiana will not be very apt to pre-
sent Republican candidate for that high
office, the necessity of giving business a
boom in the West, and particularly Indiana,
will be apparent to all. Cincinnati, st.
Louis and Chicago will also compete for the
convention, but the sweat-b box experiences
of former years will deter the committee
from going to the first or second city, and
Chicago cannot hope to get two conventions
in succession, The question of location will
not be decided before December, but it is
well canvassed already.

THE NEW sUEZ CANAL.
British Commercial Bodies Dissatisfied with |
the Agreement.

the Agreement.
LONDON, July 12.-At a meeting of mer-
chants and ship owners, to-day, to discuss the
agreement between De Lesseps and the Brit
ish government in relation to the project for
a second Suez canal, resolutions were passed
expressing regret that the government had
promised the use of their influence to obtain
a concession for a second canal in favor of
DE Lesseps's company instead of securing a
concession for an independent British canal.
The agreement of the British government
and DeLesseps on the proposed new Suez
canal is based upon the generaily-received
idea that DE Lesseps possesses the exclusive
right of cutting the Isthmus of Suez
The London Chamber of Commerce has
unanimously decided that the agreement be-
tween the British government and De Les
seps for the construction of another Suez
canal is inadequate and unsatisfactory.
Meetings of ship-owners at Sunderland and
West Hartlepool voted that the agreement is
detrimental to British commercial interests
Numerous other similar bodies throughout
the country have passed resolutions of the
same character, independently of politics
The Times, in an article on the canal agree
ment, says THE agreement has been re-
ceived with feelings ominously resembling
Indignation. 1t is inconceivable that the
House of Commons will even attempt so
much as to amend it, The ministry must
blame their own dogmatc contempt OF work
ing and instruction, if they find themselves
in a position from which they cannot escape
without discredit."

The Johnson-Hiclev scandal.

New York, July 12-The suit of Eli John
son, the well-known temperance advocate, to
recover 100000 damages from Henry Higley,
OF the New York Produce Exchange, for
alternating his wife's affections, came up in
the special term of the Kings county Su-
preme Court, before Judge Cullen, on an ap-
plication of Counsellor Burt for an order re-
quiring plaintiff to strike out all reference to
indiscretions between defendant and plain
tiff's wife in Washington. Some time ago, it
will be remembered, the court granted an
order requiring the plaintiff to amend his
complaint by making it more specific in re-
gard to times and places in Washington. The
thirty days allowed plaintiff to do so have
expired, and no answer has been made. De-
csion is reversed.

A Gloomy View.

DR.. Jenkins, in the Pail Mall Gazette
The disease which has periodically visited
England is not Indian but Arabian, in or
igin. The Indian cholera has uniformly ex-
hausted itself in Russia and Germany,
whereas the Arabian in every instance where
Egypt has been attacked has been communi-
Gated to England. For example, in March,
1865 the disease broke out in Mecca in June
it appeared in Alexandra, killing 10000 per-
sons in Egypt within three months; nine
days after the first death occurred in Alexar-
dria the pestilence was in France, and in
September it was in England. The writer
takes the glOomiest view OF the present out
break in Egypt, predicting that before the
year closes the disease will be making ravages
in every quarter Of the globe. The generally
accepted theory makes the Ganges the point
of origin in every periodical visitation, the
outbreaks corresponding to the twelve-year
pilgrimages to the Hindoo temples. 1t is
easier in the present instance, it must be adj
mitted to trace the progress Of the disease to
Mecca

from the 9Th until yesterday, but could not
open it. The experts of the Treasury De-
partment were called in and they could do
nothing. In fact, every means known to

THE HILL INVESTIGATION.
Facts ELECTED from the Defense Which Gre
ate a Decided Impression.

ate Decided Impression.
WASHINGTON, July 12-T. ]. Hayward, of
the firm of Bartlett, Hayward & Co., was the
first witness before the Hill investigating
committee. He said it was the practice of
the firm to superntend their own work
wherever they were held responsible for it's
quality. One of their employees, Charles P.
Newton, had formerly been inspector of ma
terials of heating apparatus at the Chicago
custom-house The firm had prepared plans
for heating apparatus for a number OF large
public buildings. The plans for heating ap-
paratus for the st. Louis postoffice building
had been prepared by the firm under the or
der OF the supervising architect His firm
for which they had prepared
plans, and were successful in two instances
the Chicago and st. Louis buildings
Witness denied that there had been any cor
ruption between Hill and the firm of Bart
lett, Hayward & Co. 1t was not true that
firm has received any undue and unfair in
formation to aid them in obtaining contracts.
Hayward testified that he did no work
personally on the plans for the Chicago GUS
tom-house, but turned the job over to a
draughtsman at 81 so per day.
Steinnetz said he could perform this work
in two weeks. Hayward was paid 81 800 by
the government for the plans and specfca-
tions and for experimenting the work con-
nected with the heating apparatus His
superintendency consisted in visiting the
Chicago building once, his expenses being
paid by the government. So it appears that
the $4,000 was paid Hayward for merely
tracing the specifications, and out Of it he
paid the draughtsman.
Mr. Coleman cross-examined Hayward.
Witness said his firm had always been the
lowest responsible bidders.
Mr. Coleman produced a contract for put.
ting in heating apparatus for the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, in Washington.
Witness said he believed their
with the specifications. They were
not the lowest bidders for the Charleston,
w. Va, building but believed they were
for the building at Dover Delaware: we're
not the lowest bidders for the gross work
upon the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
The Utica building was the only instance
within his recollection where his firm had
been the only bidder. There was no adver-
tisement published inviting proposals for
making plans for the Chicago and St. Louis
buildings, nor was any other person offered
the job to his knowledge. Had no patterns
for any work except the papers required.
Under these specifications new designs we're
necessary for the buildings
In the course of further testimony the
fact was brought out that Charles p. Newton
resigned from the employ of Bartlett, Rob-
bins d Co. to accept the position OF inspector
of work and material for steam heating in
the Chicago custom-house, and when the
work was completed he went back to the en-
ploy of Bartlett, Robbins & Co again. This,
taken in connection with the fact proven by
Hayward himself that this firm was paid

AMERICAN PORK AND LARD.


The Germans Have Found Pretext for In
terdicting Its Importation.
LONDON, July 12.-The North German Ga
zette, of Berlin, quotes a letter from Mr.. Sar-
geant, the American minister, in which he
states that Germany's pretense that the in
terdiction of importation of American pork
was owing to sanitary reasons, is becoming
the thinnest veil. The Gazette, in reply to
the assertion of Mr. Sergeant, reproduces an
article from Cincinnati paper in which it is
declared that half the lard made in America
consists of cottonseed oil, tallow, clay and
water.
The Times correspondent at Berlin says it
IS believed the German government has now
found the long-sought pretext for favoring
native lard by prohibiting imports from
America. The justification by the North
German Gazette of the interdiction of impor-
tation of American pork by alleging that
American lard is impure is characteristic
example of the reasoning of that paper,

tanned that democracy was incompatible

Prime Minister Sagasta spoke warmly in
defense of monarchy Moret also defended
the monarchy, but charged Sagasta with not
desiring the agreement with the dynastic
Left which might lead to the defeat of the
Liberal party.
Sagasta denied the truth of the charge and
reiterated that he was willing to carry out
the promised reforms without modification
of the constitution.
