The Raging Mississippi.

ST. L5UIs, June 23.-The Madison
dyke between here and Alton, on the
Illinois side of the river, broke about
s o'clock this morning in two. places,
one near Mitchell about twelve miles
from East ST. Louis, the other near the
end of the dyke not far from Alton.
The crevasses are not very wide yeI
but are growing rapidly and the watert
rushing through them at fearful rate,
and it is expected the entire bottom
north of East St. Louis, embracing fifty
to sixty square miles will be flooded.
Farmers are leaving homo rapidly as
possible, many Of them going to Alton,
while many others are going to differ
ent points on the bluffs, five or six miles
back from the river. The destruction
of crops and damage to farm property
generally will be very great.

Churchill, in written communication
to Gladstone, stated he would hand
over to the latter historical memoran-
dunn proving the khedive's completely
In the massacres at Alexandria if the
prime minister would promise full
inquiry. Gladstone replied that, in any
step the government might take, the
position of the khedive as ruler of
Egypt would be duly regarded. Church
Ill IN q second communication states he
will forward to Gladstone an Indictment
of the khedive on the charge of being
the real author of the massacres, and
that he (Lord Randolph will be pre-
pared TO cooperate to the utmost ex-
tent of his resources in bringing up
such witnesses as may be necessary to

Hamm, sixth. Hanlan and Hosmer

Hamm, sixth. Hanlan and Hosmer
pulled sharply for lead. Hosmer drew
away strongly from Lee, and crossing
| into tae latter's water, came alongside
the Canadian. Then toward the mile
flag they went at racing speed, Hos
mer taking water clearly and strong at
every streke, and for possibly
half pile keeping fairly in the lead.
For a brief period it appeared as
| though the BOstenian was stalking his
existence on overcoming the great
sculler and the tremendous pace of the
men and their splendid rowing display,
drove the spectators who could get
glimpse or the men, into Il sort of
frenzy. Wild cheers went over the
| water after the men In
their handsomest struggle and they
appeared to respond by q Quickeing
pull. They both held to their course
as true as arrows, but as they ap-
preached the turning buoy, Hanlon
was found to have crept ahead, and
making quick turn was on his way
home fully Is seconds before Hosmer
succeeded In rounding his buoy. In
the meantime, Hamm, on the outside,
Aau Deen pnlIlng along very close ana
rounded soon after Hosmer with
Teemer and Lee we'll to the rear.
Gaudaur who lost from the start had
dropped out of the race before cover
ing the mile and the race was left
to the remaining five. They
all came home with their
positions relatively unchanged, and
ploughing through seritable sea, but
making good time. Hanlan passed the
line in % minutes and 80 seconds;
Hosmer, second, in % minutes and so
seconds, Hamm, third, about 10
seconds after him; Lee, 4sh; Teemer, 9Th.
Tomorrow afternoon occurs the con-
solidation. The race is open to all but
the three winners Of to-day, and the
double scull race, in which there will
be six starters. Hanlan and Lee will
pull in this race as q pair.

No More Canadian Land Grants.

OTTAWA, June 23.-The government
decided to make no further grants to
colonization railway companies of the
northwest for the present, and until
the present chartered railways ar e
completed, there will be no further
sales of lands. If, however, 1t is found
necessary in the interest of the country
to make further grants, the price will
be raised to 80 cents per acre. This
conclusion has been arrived at owing
to the rapid increase of immigration
into the northwest.

Louise Michel.

PARIS, June 23.-Henry Rochefort,
in the evidence at the trial Of Louise
Michel yesterday endeavored to show
falsity of charges of pillage against the
prisoner. He said that when she was
exiled she reduced herself to poverty
to aid her fellow sufferers. The pris-
oner spoke in her own defense. She
violently attacked the government and
declared the issue of pamphlets to sol
diers melting them to burn the bar
racks and murder the officers was JUS
tilted, and declared that the soldiers at
Sedan would have done we'll to shoot
the officers and save their honor.
PARIS. June % The jury found
Louise Michel guilty, and she was sen.
fenced to s years imprisonm and
10 years police supervision. Of the
other prisoners charged with rioting
and pDlage, Panget was sentenced to
years imprisonment and 10 years
police supervision and Moret to l
years imprisonment, and two others
were acquitted.

IN THE BOGUS LARD INVESTIGATION.
CAICAGo, June 22.-If the men who
pledged themselves not to divulge the
proceedings in the investigation By the
board of trade into the alleged adul-
iteration Of lard by Fowler Brothers,
and then break faith by furnishing, or
processing to furnish reporters OF the
daily press with summaries Of pre-
ceedings, are worthy of belief, there
was q sensation IN the case to-day.
According to these gentlemen, two OF
the witnesses for McGeoch, Evering-
ham & Co., formerly employed by Fow-
Ter Brothers, who testified to having in
iected cotton-seed oil and other aduI-
terations into their lard watts, went on
the stand to-day and swore that their
former testimony was false in every
particular, and that they were paid $50
each for their false swearing.

The II chmOnd Duel.

RICHMOND, June % The excite
ment over the Bierne-Eiam affair not
yet abated. All day ing uiries have
been made as to the Whereabouts of
the principals. Both are still at large,
Notwithstanding Bierne was arrested
yesterday evening. 1t seems that
after Bierne's arrest by the Richmond
policeman he was turned over to the
county deputy sheriff. The officers
then went in search of Elam
tracing him to house in the vicinity,
but were refused admlttance, and the
county officers declined to force an en-
trance they not having search war
rant. A little later the passenger train
from Richmond bound west passed
Hanover Junction and Immediately
thereafter Blerne was missed. 1t is sup
posed he stepped on the train and got
eff with McCarty and Ragall. Two of
BIerne's friends were In the city to-day
and it believed were here to arrange
tor another meeting as soon as posi-
BILE.
What has beetedone, no one but in
terested parties know, but the general
impression Is that d more successful
meet ng will be had possibly to NOR
row or Monday. The arrest of BIerne
and friends last evening was in q
measure illegal. He was not placed
under bonds.

The Arkansas Bonds.

KEoKUK, IeKa, June % The argu-
ments In the Arkansas bond cases,
which have required week in hearing
by Justice Miller and Judge Caldwell,
closed to day. During the argument
Justice Miller stated that the court was
satisfied the bonds were constitutional
and valid, the decision of the Arkansas
supreme court to the contrary notwith-
standing. Whether the lien created by
acts extended beyond the income and
revenues of the counties to whom the
bonds were issues, and whether the
boGdholders were entitled to avail
themselves of the rem 5dies provided
for the state were questions which they
deserved to hear argued. The cases
were argued and taken up under ad-
visemenu.

The Duel i'm Richmond.

RICHMOND, Va, June Nothing
is heard up to $50 D. m. from the
dueling party. Excitement over the
affair and anxiety to learn the result is
undated. Some delay occurred in
the arrangements, hence it is believed
no meeting took place this morning,
but will either this evening or to-mor-
row morning. Both parties, with sec
ends and surgeons went away from
Richmond, but their whereabouts is
unknown.
Mr.. Eiam promptly accepted Mr..
Burns challenge, and hostile meeting
will certainly take place to-day. Both
PRINCIPALS are safely concealed in farm
houses near the city, and the affair is
only delayed on account Of a gentle
man who will act as the second to one
of the parties. He will reach here
some time to-day, and the parties
will go IN the field. There is the deep
est bitterness between them. and
nothing but fatal meeting will recon
cile matters The police have lost all
track of the duelists, and every means
will be taken to keep them in the dark.
THE DUEL FIZzLFs OUT.
% RICHMOND, June 22.-Telegrams to-
night report the arrest, near Hanover
junction, 81 miles from Richmond. of
&. L. Beirne, one of the principals, and
Page Mccarthy and w. W. Arthur. his
friends, also Waverly Ragland, of the
Elam party. No fight is reported, and
it is believed that none has taken place.
Bierne was bailed and went to his home
In Ashland.
RICHMOND, June 22.-It appears that
Mayor Darlington received information
as to the locality where the belligerents
were to meet, and sent police officer
over the Chesapeake & OHIO railway to
Hanover junction. Getting off the
train the officer discovered the party
and took them in custody. It has been
since ascertained that duel had been
arranged for this afternoon, and but for
the sudden appearance OF the officer,
ten minutes more would not have
elapsed before q fight had taken place.
as 1t was it would have been all over,
but for some disagreements between
Mccarthy, Beirns' second, and Rey-
nolds, Eam's second ABOUT the pistols
to be used. That trouble had been set
tied and the party was about moving to
the place where Elam was awaiting
when they were arrested. 1t is report
ed that on accepting the challenge
Elam named Colts revolvers, Z PAGES,
both TO advance after the first fire
and that Bierne had agreed to the con-
ditions and that the disagreement
which caused the delay at the last
moment was that the pistols brought by
Elam's friend were not Colts revolvcrs
but smaller and not so effective wea-
pons. Mccarthy then wanted
the fight to go on with the
regular dueling pistols which they had,
but finally agreed upon the use of the
revolvors.

Wash ne ton HleaningS.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The presi-
dent to-day appointed Capt. s. l..
Phelps, of the District of Columbia
IA mister to Peru, and Richard Gibbs,
of New York, minister to Bolivia.
These appointments were made neces-
sary by the resignation OF Partridge
and return to the U1ited States of
Manly, who is i'll and unable to remain
at his post. These men have been
selected because their familiarity with
the language, people, and customs of
the Pacific coast of South America and
the presidents confidence in their dis
erection. Phelps was born in Ohio,
served in the navy during the
war and then entered the service
of the Pacific Mail s eamship Co., and
was at one time president of the board
of commissioners Of the district of Co.
lumbia Gibbs was United States min
lister to Peru from 1875 to 1879, which
Office he filled acceptably.
chilli AND PERU.
1t is learned at the department of
state that Frelinghuysen, some time
since, sent instructions to our minister
to Chill to propose basis of peace
upon which all parties could agree, and
which il was hoped if concluded would
be permanent. The basis was in sub
stance a cession to Chill Of the Peruvian
territory OF Tarapact and submission
to i'm partial arbitration OF the question
whether any additional territory should
be coded and if so how much and on
what terms. The proposed settlement
was submitted to the Representatives of
Chill and Peru in Washington and met
their approval.
Shortly after the receipt of this in
struction by Logan, however. the Chill
ian government had come to arrange
ments with Iglesias. Whether Iglesias
represents the popular sentiment of
Peru and will receive substantial
support Of its people so as to authorize
other countries to reorganize him TO
represent that republic, is 81 question
upon which Logan, Phelps and Gibbs
are expected to furnish the government
of the United States with information
upon which it may justly and wisely
act. While these gentlemen will be
very carefully instructed, a broad dis
erection will necessarily be left to them
as to the details of their course, and
the question of final recognition of
any defacto government in Peru
IS reserved to the governments opin-
ion. 1t has some time been expressed
that it would be advantageous to
accredit Logon to all three govern
ments and In regard to this it is said
at the department the president on
reflection decided proper regard to
each republics demands that different
Representatives from this country
should be accredited to each especially
as congress by appropriation for three
distinct missions signiied its judgment
that such course would be proper
one.

THE CANDIDACY OF CLERK MCPHERSON

THE CANDIDACY OF CLERK MCPHERSON.
WASHINGTON, June o.. The can
didacy of Clerk MCPHERSON, of the
house of representatives, for tie secre-
taryehip of the senate is much inn
proved. A prominent Pennsylvania
politician says that the defeat of Ma
hone in Virginia has had the effect
of declining support from
Editor Gorham, Mahone's choice
for the place, and it is doubtful
if Gorham can get one-third of the
number of senators required to secure
him the position. McPherson's re-
publican record will be made use of by
his friends for all it is worth, and no
doubt will commend him to republican
senators. On the other hand, Gorham' s
California departure, it is said, will
seriously ipjure his chances.

THE SUIT AGAINST M'GEoCH.


MILWAUKEE, June % In the case
of J. Alden Ellis and others against
Peter McGeoch and Daniel Wells, Jr..
commenced by Tenney, Bashford &
Tenney, of Madison, Judge Mann, of
the county court. made an important
decision to-day. It seems that D. n.
Young, of Madison, came to Milwau-
kee on Monday last and made az aft
davit for Ellis & Co., that the plaintiffs
IN that suit could not make their debt
of $4,000 against McGeoch's firm.
On this affidavit he issued garnishee
summons, and on the same day gave
notice Of examination of McGeoch and
Wells before Commissioner Ryan.
Judge Mann, to day, denied the motion
made by Tenny, B4shford & Tenney to
limit by order the examination with so
and costs, on the ground that the pro-
ceedings were all erroneous. The c0un-
sci for Mr.. Wells were Jenkins, Winkler
q Smith, and Wells, Brighton & Up
ham, and the attorneys for McGeoch
were Finches, Lynde & Miller. 1t is
claimed that this is but the beginning
Of series of legal proceedings which
will show that Ellis & Co. have litiga.
ton on their hands without limit. 1t
Is further reported that McGeoch 81
Wells will contest their suits point by
point, and that all the attachment
proceedings are 50 irregular, illegal
and void that all the attachments will
be set aside.

HANLAN's VICTORY.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Edward Hanlan
has added another to his column Of
sculling victories, this time winning
handsomely against q formidable field
of fifteen Oarsmen, nearly sill of ma
tional repute, and all of whom unques-
tionably speeded the phenomenal Ca
madam to the very best of their rowing
energy. The race course was on Lake
Calumet, at the village of Pullman, q
Smile pull with turn. The day was
nearly perfect for the 9 900 spectators
who lined the banks and filled the
grand stand. A clear sky and freshen-
ing breeze which tempered the lays
on the dazzling sun. The large
number of entries necessitated
three preliminary heats in the fore,
noon, five men in each heat, the first
and second in each to be nominated
for deciding the race in the afternoon.
The four events of the day contained
few surprises, and while hope evidently
actuated many present to see some
young sculler wrest the laurels from
the champion, if only to break the no.
notony of his extraordinary successes,
it was allowed to die early. Hosmer
proved to be the only man who seemed
to possess the capacity of crowding
Hanlan. In the fnal race of
the day, after heading Lee he
sprang alongside his great antagonist
and raced him very nearly to the
turning or mile and q half, and Hanlan
had to display his marvellous speed for
fully that distance before he could
shake him off. After that Hanlan ap-
peared to have it all his own way, and
with comfortable interlude between
him and Hosmer, he ventured to dof
his cap to those on the press boat, but
he had no time to spare for any more
such pleasantries and he finished at
a thirty-twO stroke. Kennedy, o
young sculler, who seemed to be ia
vorite was distalced in the second
Of preliminary heats and his incredit-
ably poor time thereafter was
accounted for on his return by his boat
which was known to be weak from the
collision of the day day previous break
ing in two while he was on the home
stretch and utterly collapsed. In the
third preliminary heat, Elliott, ex-
champion of England, was forced out
of tie contest by breaking his rowing
gear, and Weisgerber likewise by his
shell filling with water, through Clay
toms fouling him. The record made
by Tcemer, Is years old, in the second
preliminary heat was surprise, but he
| failed to sustain it through the conclud-
ing race.
Those who took part in the race were
as follows: Edward Hanlan, Toronto;
George Hosmer, Boston; Geo. w. Lee,
Newark, n. j.: T. A. Plaisted, Chicago;
VIM. Elliott, England; G. W. Weis-
gerber, William Braceland and E.
Clayton, Wheeling, w. Va; J. ". Ken
nedy and II. Parker, ST. Louis; Jno.
Mckay and Albert Hamm, Halifax;
j. G. Gandour, Crevecour, Mo-; ]. 81.
Riley, Saratoga; Jno. Teemer, McKees-
port.
The lake had forbidding appear
ance when the time set for deciding
the race arrived, but despite a chop
ping sea the men were called out at
$40 o'clock into position, as follows:
Hanlan, first: Lee, second; Hosmer,
third; Turner, fourth; Goudaur, 9th;
