More Failures in CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, June 28,-The markets suffered
another bad break this morning. and the fore
noon session of the boards was marked by nm
easiness and, at times, great excitement. The
depression extended TO provisions and grain,
but was more especially felt in pork and wheat
Pork has shown steady and heavy decline
the past three days, and this morning took an
other tumble of AZ IL to 50 and lard descend
ed IL to II H. making the quotation for Ju-
ly options less than that reached on Saturday,
made notable by the failure os McGeoch.
Wheat, which has displayed weakness the
past week, dropped Ia TO 2 IL per bushel in
addition to-day. These declines renewed all
the uneasiness of the past two weeks and the
announcement was made at noon that N. o.
Kenyon q Co. and John Sinclair had sue
cumbed. They had been dealing in grain, but
were not rated as very extensive dealers. One
cause assigned for the unusual weakness dis
played by the market Is owing to tue bad
showing made by the firms Of McGeoch, Ever
ingham Il Co., and NJ. s. Nichols g. Co., par
ticularly the latter firm, from whom better
report as to assets had been anticipated.

THE UNIVERSITY RACE.
A Big Crowd but a Poor Show
Harvard an Easy Winner by Fifteen
Lengths.

New LONDON, June 28.--The eighth annual
Yale-Harvard eight cared four-mile straight.
away race was rowed here at b 80 p. M, Har-
ward having virtually walk over, winning In
the low time of 24m. 46ss Yales time was
25m. sos. The city was full OF visitors, tnlly
5000 being in town. One train of seventeen
cars came from New Haven There was a
complete jam. Many persons were also pres
ent from Boston. The course was lined with
steam, sail and row boats and the observation
train which ran along the bank OF the river
was crowded. The water was IN fair condi-
tion, the wind being about southwest and
moderate
Both crews were unusually prompt in ap-
pearlng at the line. The boats started prompt
ly. Yale got tritle the best of the send-oii
and at the first half mile with her rapid lerky
stroke was good clear length ahead, but here
the steady, Hlong-swtepin stroke OF Harytpi
began TO tell and she gradually crept up until
at the mile flag the boats were bow and bow,
both crews pulling about 40 strokes per-min-
ute, From there to the finish the long, steady
stroke of Harvard gave them a commanding
lead. AT the mile and half Harvard, pulling
"a strokes per minute, was a length ahead oil
Yale, pulling 40, AT the two-mile flag Har-
ward was good Two lengths to the front pull
ing In fine form, while Yale, though pulling
the jerky stroke In good form, was slowly but
surely dropping astern. At the two and
one-half mile Harvard was five lengths ahead
and gradually increasing her lead. At the
three-mile the Harvards were seven lengths
ahead, pulling "a strokes per minute to the
Sales ~ AZ the commencement OF the last
half mile Harvard had ten lengths to her
credit. From here TO the finish both crews
spurted, Harvard pulling 81 and Yale 43
strokes All efforts on the part OF Yale
however we're futile for instead of gaining on
her rival she gradually lost ground, Harvard
crossing the line a winner by from 15 to 20
lengths. Harvard's time 24m. 46As, Yale's
time 25m. 59s.

THE HILL INVESTIGATION,

WASHINGTON, June 28.-In the Hill investi-
CATION to-dao the expert Stnemeiz testified
that he had charge of the work OF building
the New York post office. There we're charges
for extra work in the accounts for which he
never gave orders.
cution to inspect certain vouchers la the archi-
tect's office.
Mr.. Thomas submitted number of letters
In general answer to the charges against Bart
lett, Robbins & Co., and Mr.. Coleman, for the
prosecution, submitted the testimony of Gen.
Stelnmetz which was given before the House
Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds
in the winter of 1877 and 1878.
Mr., Coleman then called for all vouchers for
money paid to George l.. Damon since August,
1876. for iron safes for fire proof shutters; also
for all vouchers for money paid Bartlett, Rob.
bins & Co. or Hayward, Robbins & Co., the
present firm, for work done or materials fur
nished by them TO the Government since Au-
gust, 1876.
Objection was made by Mr.. Thomas that
such wholesale expose of the business OF
Bartlett, Robbins x Co. would be unfair to the
present firm, in that it would disclose their
business to those who may be competing
against them,
Mr.. Coleman-How can that be when they
have monopoly Of the business?
Protracted arguments ensued, during which
counsel for the prosecution charged that Bart
lett, Robbins * Co. had secured nearly all the
contrac Is for tiling since the advent of Mr..
Hill as supervising architect, and had been
enabled TO do SO through corrupt influences in
the architects office, although not the lowest
bidders.
Mr. Thomas (excitedly)--H the gentleman
charges that Bartlett, Robbins & Co. corruptly
obtained contracts desounce it as a SANDER
Mr.. Coleman replied: Let us see the docu
ment showing the amount of money which
these gentlemen have been received and we
will be able TO tell something about it,
The committee, after consultation, ruled thai
counsel should be permitted TO inspect all pa
pers included in his call. and should submit
them to the committee.
Gen. StinemetZ then took the stand. IL
1874 witness held the position Of Assistant Su,
perintendent of construction of the New York
post office, and had charge of all the work
Bartlett, Robbins & Co. had a contract for the
iron work, stairs, gratings, illuminated tiling
etc. They furnished the materials under the
immediate diaection of witness. The bill
rendered by Bartlett, Robbins q Co. were
then put in evidence; witness read over the
items charged for extra work and testified that
one pair of stairs for whsch Bartlett, Robbins
& Co. charged S968, never were put into the
building, aud that other charges for extrs
work appeared in their bills for which ht
(Stinemetz) never gave any order
At this point, number of vouchers which
had been called for by the prosecution, were
brought in, and upon the suggestion Of MIR
Alexander the committee, at l o'clock ad
journed till 1870 tomorrow, for the purpose o.
affording the witness an opportunity to inspect

days there have been IL cases and four deaths.
The scourge has also made its appearance at

REVENUE CONSOLIDATION.
The Changes Not Controlled by Political
Considerations.

Considerations.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The criticism that
the retention of internal revenue collectors
was largely controlled by political considera-
tions Is not well-founded. In the outset the
general rule was laid down that where two or
more districts were united the collectors long.
est In the service should be dropped, and the
one of most recent appointment should be re-
tanned, provided sthe new mau had a good
record for efficiency. In reduction of As
districts the Oldest collector was dropped In 33
cases, and leaving only eight instance In which
this part OF the rule was departed from. OF
the eight exceptions several turned on the rel
alive efficiency OF the collectors concerned, and
two were made in accordance with suggestions
from Commissioner Evans as to what would be
best in his own State. The oldest collector
was dropped in every case in New England,
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan, sufficient area Of great States to
show that the rule and not political consider
ations controlled. The fourth California dis
trict was consolidated with Nevada, and the
California collector was retained, though his
commission bears date three years before the
other. IT is not claimed that politics entered
into this case. In Georgia the difference in
dates of commissioners was only two months,
and the best man was kept. In the case of the
third and fifth New Jersey, Mr.. Barcalon
seems TO have been retained. though he was
two years longer a collector than Mr.. Hathorn,
who was dropped under circumstances that
strongly indicate the result of political pres
sure. The Kentucky changes were in every
sense in the face of the rule, but the President
deferred in these cases to Commissioner Ev-
ans. 1t is said that Mr.. Blaine of the ninth
Kentucky resigned. If this action on his part
outside OF what was expected from the
consolidation, it reduces the departure from
the rule in that State to one, that OF Swope
retained instead Of Finnell. The latter has
perfect record at the Office Of internal revenue.
In the consolidation of the second and third
Illinois districts Mr. Rocker was retained,
though his commission was year and half
older than that OF Mr.. Woodbock. 1n-the case
of the fifth one sixth Missouri the collector 81
the most important district was retained with
his headquarters at Kansas City. The ques-
ton was to the best interests of the service In
Minnesota Mr.. Bukel, at st. Paul, who was
senior by five years, was retained, and MIR.
Wedge, in West Virginia, where the first and
second were united; Mr.. Duvsl, the senior of
Mr.. Pierrepont by eight years, was retained.
These were all the exceptions. The Virginia
and North Carolina districts, of which much
has been said in criticism, fell under the rule.

manner about the desk, and near them were
several small tables covered with plants and
beautiful trailing vines.

Corn and Wheat Cron.

CINCINNATI, June 28.-The Price Current
publishes today the result OF the extended in
vestigation through the producing States OF
the west concerning the corn and wheat crops
1t places the aggregate of the wheat crop at
440, 100000 bushels, against 504 100000 bushels
last year. The corn crop is reported in good
stand generally, the acreage being considera-
bly, increased, and the condition averaging
we'll, though backward. Many sections now
have drawbacks from excessive rains. Seven
ty per cent. of the returns report fair to good
supplies Of old corn on hand.
