SANFORD.
New YORK, May 25.-The Geljhardt-
Sanford quarrel has not by any means ended
yet and if the efforts of Mr.. Gebhardts friends
are as successful as they desire Mrs. Lang
try's hero will yet meet his advisory upon the
field of honor. This iIl-feeling between the
two men arose out of an old feud A couple
of years ago, SO the story goes, Gebhardt took
occasion to seriously annoy Mr. Sanford by
distractinS his attention during a game of
polo Freddie, in order to raise laugh, threw
a ball impoverished near Sauford's pony 80 as
to confuse him during the play. 1t was not
known at the time that Mr.. Gebhardt was the
offender. Last year at Saratoga the incident
came up while Messrs. Gebharlt and Sanford
were III the same company. Mr.. Sanford is
said to have used some pretty strong language,
to which Gebhardt retorted by calling him "a
blank countryman." Ever since there has been
bad blood between the two ms O.. Messrs Wright
Sanford (who Is no relation the William L.
Sanford of the quarreD. Sturgis, aud Montant
three of Mr.. Gtbhsfdts warTnest. assooiates
consider that Mr. Cfebhardt should not allow the
matter to rest and Indicate that there Is only
one course open to Freddie to redeem ms
wounded honor-that is, to demand instant sat
isfaction.
Il think Mr. Gebhardt," and Mr. Sturgis,
should lose no time III setting himself right
with the club, whose members naturally expect
him to show some spirit over this matter Mrs.
Langtry will, have no doubt do her utmost to
prevent a hostile meeting.
~Has any challenge been issued?"
~None that ann aware OF; but am under
the impression that Mr.. Gebhardt has been add
vised TO return to New York at once to consult
with his friends regarding the preliminaries.
Ii he does not act promptly in this affair, then
he may as well leave New York for good

DETROIT, Mich, May % Washing
ton Throop, an old resident of Detroit, totally
blind for the last seven years, aged seventy
six, was found dead this morning in the closet
of his sleeping room where he hanged him
self with small rope from cane laid across
the end OF clothes hooks in the closet The
hooks were only about the height of his
head, and there was lIrge chest
beside him ON which he could
have sat without any danger of sfrangula-
ton so that he must evidently have been de-
termined on suicide. His family relations were
happy and the cause is unknown The de-
ceased WAS for many years bookkeeper for
Zach Chandler, and afterwards clerk at the
custom house until his sight failed His son.
GEN VIM. A. Throop, is prominent citizen OF
Detroit, and well known throughout the state

East Indian Wheat.
Great Eritain Pushing the Develop

sources or Her Hndian Empire.

CHICAGO, May 25.-The Tribune has
the following: England IL doing all it can to
stimulate the growth of the wheat industry of
India That country is now, next to the Uni
ted States, the greatest in the business of sup
plying England with bread. 1t has pushed
Russia. which used to be close second to us,
into the third place. an East Indian paper of
recent date says that with view to develop
the export trade from india to Great Britain
the through railway rates on wlea. ana
other grains and seeds from Delhi, Agra,
and Bombay have been lowered 1879 per cent
This is equal to q reduction of the price OF In
dian wheat in the Liverpool market OF at least
SO cents quarter A corresponding reduction
of rates is looked for on the East Indian rail
way. In addition to making transportation
cheaper on the existing road the English are
preparing plans for an extension of the rail-
road system into new fields 1t ID also building

feel that 50 long as the protectioniste
IN the United States forbid them to sell cheap
goods to the farmers in this country 1t is not &c
their interest to buy of MS any more than they
can help. They prefer to trade whore the re-
clpfoeity of trade is recognised The capabil-
tiles OF the north India peninsula are suf-
hclentiy & i and the compensation for which
the Hindoo IS willing to work is sufficiently low
10 make it well worth the while of our farmers
to ponder carefully how far their interests are
conserved by financial system that
drives our best customer to look
elsewhere for its supplies With the
enormous extent of new wheat country that is
being opened by the Northern Pacific, the Can
adian Pacific, the Manitoba line, and the Indian
railways it is entirely possible that the prices
OF wheat may undergo revolutionary change
There is hardly any such thing possible as 3
glut of wheat for the world, for the number of
mouths that would like to have white bread
and have none is yet counted by lens of mil
hons. But there can easily be such a thing as
glut of wheat for farmers who think they
must have dollar bushel for it, If there
ever is such glut of wheat in the markets, if
not in the mouths, as to force down its price
the inevitable result viii L5 a reimbursement OF
the tariff, which lowers ne purchasing power
of our wheat If tn 81 lows the gIut will not
