The Regatta at Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-Sixteen of the
most noted oarsmen of the country
have arrived to take part in the re-
gatta at Pullman on Friday and Sat.
urday of this week. They comprise
one Of the finest fields of r0wers ever
assembled in the United States for a
contest. Hanlon, the worlds cham
piOn, will contest in both single and
double scull races. His companion in
the double scull race is Benz. Lee.
Hanlan is in fine condition, but it is
asserted he will have to row his best
to hold the first place, as some of the
fifteen are known to be in most ex-
cellent shape and are liable to press
him. The earsmen speak of the Lake
Calamet course as one Of the finest,
and with good weather there is a
promise of an enormous attendance,
as it is really the first great profess
sional race which has ever occurred
in the West. The railway companies
are preparing to accommodate a large
crowd of people who will attend from
the city.

Sherman Starts on His Tour.

WASHINGTON, June 20-Gen. Sher-
man, accompanied by Tidball of his
staff, left here this morning for Buf-
falo, where he will be joined by Chief
Justice Waite and Justice Gray.
From there the party will start on
their trip across the continent along
the northern boundary of the United
States for the inspection of all the
military posts on the route. Gen.
Sherman would have postponed his
until after the funeral of
General Ewing, but one days delay
would have disarranged all his plans
throughout the entire trip, which has
been carefully mapped out with dates
f,r arrival at certain points and es-
corts provided to get the party along
the route.
The finding of the Wasson Court
Martial has been submitted to the
Judge Advocate General. The result
has not been made known, but it is
thought that the sentence is at least

HELENA, NJ. T June 20.
The Butte coach with eight passen-
gers, five men and three women, was
stopped by two road agents this side
of the Boulder mountains, about %
miles from Helena, at four o'clock to-
day. The passengers were searched,
but only about $25 were taken. One
of the women had 500, which the
robbers overlooked. The passengers
were covered with revolvers. John
B. Reed, city editor of the Butte
Inter Mountain, was passenger. He
gave up only $1.5O, but had Sc, 900
hidden in an inside pocket which
was not discovered. The robbers
took the treasure box from the coach,
but it is not kuown how much money
was in it. A valuable watch was
taken from one of ihe passengers, but
returned again.
Mr.. Linsley, stage agent at Butte,
received the following telegram last
evening:
HELENA, NJ. T., June 20, 1888.
J.H. Linslcy, Agent, Butte.
The Butte stage was robbed this af-
ternoon on Prickly Pear divide near
Beavertown. The Government treas
ure box was taken and the passen-
gers robbed. Notify the newspapers
and officers that we will pay one
hundred dollars reward in addition
to the three hundredl dollars stand
ing reward from the Territory, for
the arrest OF these men. There
were two robbers in the party, both
masked. One was supposed to be a
middle aged man with striped over
alls and one young man with blue
overalls. H. s. HOWELL, Supt.
The reference to the Government
treasure box leads to the inference
that the robbers have cap
tured a shipment of gold
retort from Virginia City to the mint
at Helena, which would be trans
ferred to the Helena coach at Bsul-
der. The duplicate way bills show
that the treasure box from here con-
tanned nothing of great value. The
list from Butte yesterday
morning was J. B. Read, Gus La
mond and wife, Geo. Kosure and
wife, Miss Matte Devere and
John l.. Beck. Mrs. A. l..
Crossman was booked for passage
but for some reason did not go.
Kosure and Lamond and their wives
all wore valuable'watches and chains
md other jewelry, which the dis
patches indicate were not taken from
hem. A lively pursuit of the bandits
las been organized from both Helena

We have had occa ion several times

not been any brisk advance in the

readers that our opinions as to the
actual value of the mine have not
changed. We believe that the Alice
will eventually prove to he one of the
best dividend payers in the country,

CHICAGO, June 19.-This has proved
another exciting day on Change.
The condition of affairs was very
much strained, and the bulk Of the
trading has changed oyer from pro-
visions to wheat and corn. The fail
ures that have occurred in all lines
have caused suspicion Of unsteadi-
ness to attach to many OF the heavier
firms. The fluctuations in all the
markets have been sharp and rapid,
and spectators have, in consequence,
been calling indiscriminately for mar
gins. One failure was announced
during the forenoon, that of George
Stewart & Co., reported long on wheat
and lard. All the markets up to noon
displayed signs of weakness.
The markets all assumed firmer
tone towards the close, although the
severe drop in pork was not alto
gether recovered. Just before the
close the firm of Daily 4 Co., who
have been dealing heavily in pork,

whom they have dealings. Their liza
bilities are not ascertained. The ru-

Dr. Hathaway was arrested in March

committing criminal malpractice
upon Maly' Butler, a servant girl,
whose child died after the operation.
Both were admitted to bail and
Hathaway fed. He, however, re-
turned to the city some time ago but
has never been rearrested on the
charge. Three months ago his wife
charged him with assanIting her
and threatening her life. She asked
to have a warrant issued for his ar
rest, but subsequently withdrew the
charge. She told the officials that
her husband has performed several
criminal operations upon her, and
she knew he had performed hun-
dreds upon others. Up to 4 o'clock
this morning twenty-one skulls, or
portions of skulls of infants, had been
found buried in the cellar Of his
dwelling. DIR. Hathaway is now in
the county prison charged with as
saulting a relative. The Coroner

,ne failure to-day except lack of
means; that if this firm had

CAMDEN, S. c., June 90 The
monument erected by the women Of
Kershaw county in memory of the
confederate dead was dedicated to-
dav. There was q grand military
demonstration, in which twenty
companies participated. Senators
Hampton and Butler, Governor
Thompson and other distinguished
men were present. The ceremonies
Of unveiling consisted Of an artillery
salute, a dedicatory prayer, an ode to
the ladies, and a memorial Grafton
by Senator Hampton. He paid a
tribute to the faith, devotion and pa
tience of Southern women. When the
true history of the war is written they
would not only occupy the first place
in our hearts but first in honor.
They would always repel with scorn
snd indignation the imputation that
monuments to the Confederate dead
marked the spot where traitors slept.
We of the South were neither traitors
nor rebels nor was our war in any
proper sense a rebellion. 1t was
strictly civil war growing out OF
conflicting interests and different
constructions f the Constitution by
opposing sections of the country. He
ms msintained that perfect union of the
States contemplated by the Fathers
could never be possible if the citizens
of one portion of the Republic are to
be kept in that union merely on
Observation-Disclosures but suspected;
contributing their full share to the
support of the government, but not
participating in its direction; bearing
its burdens, but not sharing its hon
ors, and feeling that in the home of
their fathers they are but unwelcome
intruders. He congratulated the
country that the future was auspi-
cious, that the scars of the war were
being oblterated by time, and de- !
manded that our former enemies do |
justice to the motives that inspired |
our conduct. He believed that il "a
settlement of the war issues had been
left to old soldiers the country would
have been saved the shame and hu-
initiation of reconstruction. He
obedience to the laws and
to the supremacy of the constitution,
and said 1t requires only mutual for
bearance, concession and generosity
on the part of the late conteDding
sections to bring about the result, and
every statesman, every lover of his
country desires to see this end
reached, and it can be attained with
out loss of self respect by any honora-
BILE man, north or south, without any
degradation or without the
sacrifice OF Ole honest conviction or
one cherished principle. The great
questions which were at issue be-
tween the north and south, and
which were left to the arbitrament of
war, were decided against US, but
The sword never has decided, and
never will decide, the question in
volving the great pr.ncipl, of final
Judgment as to the motives and ac-
[lons of man. 1t rests with higher
tribunal than any on earth, and to
That last court Of appeal must every
question of right and wrong be sub
nitted. For our convictions We are
'esponsible alone to our own con-
sciences and to our God. Hence
here is no Inconsistency in giving
10 the constitution and laws under
which we live an earnest support,
while we hold in tender reverence
he memory of the men who died for
he cause We held to be just and
lghi. The Ora,iOn was received
With much enthusiasm.
