The Rush for Lioeuses in CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, June 19-Under the impulse of
the ordinance passed by the city council, last
night, anticipating the effect of the new State
license law IN July extending the present
license year nine months, there was an un-
precedented rush for saloon licenses to-day.
The days work aggregated nearly 500 1t is
urged that the legality of the ordinance is
very doubtful, and in the event the extended
licenses are declared void, the supposition is
the saloonkeepers will not only lose their
fee of $103 but forfeit the licenses as we'll.
Another thing which added to the anxiety
of the saloon-keepers to secure new licenses
at once was the generally-credited report
that the Citizens Association would apply
to the courts for an injunction restraining
the city from issuing these licenses. A num-
ber of notaries were employed TO take the
afidavits of those who presented themselves
as bondsmen. When the Office closed at 8
o'clock tonight about 200 anxious saloon
keepers were still in line. 1t is understood
the office will be opened early tomorrow
morning, and it is expected business will be
SO facilitated that 1000 more licenses will be
issued before the close of the day.

foundation. As matter of fact, the star
route defendants are not all Republicans.
Dorsey and Brady are Repub-
licans. Vaile is very pro-
nounced Democrat. Outside of this case,
the persons vino have been indicted for COM
plicity in the star-route matter were nearly
all Democrats. The members of the great
Parker-Salisbury combination, which took
the most money from the Government, are
all said to be Democrats Price is Demo-
crat Aside from that, the active prosecutors
have been Bliss, Merrick, and Ker. Bliss is
Republican, but Merrick and Ker are not only
Democrats, but are extremely partisan DEM
ocrats, and Ker now in his public interviews
himself arraign the Republican party. Four
or five members of the jury were Democrats.
The defendants themselves have probably
never been conscious of any interference on
the part of the administration in there favor.

Madagascar VIII Fight.

LONDON, June 19.-Wth reference to Ad-
miral Pierce's dispatch announcing the cap
ture of rauo"tave, the Malagassy envoys state
that the demands of the French were prepos-
terous They knew the ultimatum would be
rejected. The Queen of Madagascar gave
stringent orders not to return the French
fire. She recalled most OF her troops to the
capital, and only 200 remained at Tamatave
to maintain order. Tamatave is defended by
merely one mud fort, mounting four old
muzzle-loading guns The Queen is now shut
off from foreign powers 1t will take the
French at least five months to march to the
capital, and there is sufficient food in the
capital for siege of several months. The
Hovas have there over six thousand disci-
plined troops, most of whom are armed with
Remington rifles. The nation will fight to
the bitter end; meanwhile it is hoped the
powers will intervene. The ENJOYS regard
the bonn bardnent of Tamatave as a wanton
and cruel act. They fear that many foreign
residents of Tamatave are killed.

sary precautions to expel Captain Payne in
the event of another raid by his party upon
Oklahoma lands, Indian Territory.
The cabinet meeting was attended by all
the members except the Attorney general
who is out OF the city. The question of con-
solidaton of revenue districts was not con-
sidered.
The President had another consultation

iect, the Secretary of the Treasury states
that there are no special acts of Congress to
regulate the conditions for opening draw
Orldges on all naVlgaDle waters In TINS coun-
try, but if a private citizen be aggrieved by
closing the draw he has his action at COM
mon law for damages; and possibly under
State statutes, draw-bridge which was not
properly and seasonably opened might be in
dicted as nuisance.

ROME, June 19,-In the Chamber of Depu-
ties, to-day, several members expressed re-
gret that the United States government un-
duly taxed objects of art imported into the
United States, ard they demand reprisals.
Magliani, Minister of Finance, and Baccillio,
Minister of Public Instruction, while they
blamed the action of the United States Con-
gress in imposing tax on imported objects
of art yet hoped that diplomatic negotiations
would procure better terms They added
that reprisals would be useless, especially
because of the impossibility of fixing the real
value of objects of art. motion was ulti-

COLUMBUS, June 19.-The hotels tonight
are running over with boisterous arrivals to
the Democratic State convention. Mr.. Hoad-

are busily at work. The familiar forms of
Senator Pendleton, General Denver and
Congressman Bill Hill are active in the
throng Ex-senator Thurman came out in
anew summer suit, and spent the afternoon
on the sidewalk near the Neil House, boom
ing the candidacy of Durbin Ward.
The situation has not yet developed be-
yond last weeks stage save in point of ex-
citement. Mr.. Ward has the hurrah so
far, but he had nights start here of his RI
walls, and Cincinnati's primaries will not be
heard from until morning. On that result
TO morrow important engineering's will be
based. If Mr.. Hoadly can carry Cincinnati
and hold that delegation, with Cleveland
teadipg for the rest of the ticket, he will
have an excellent chance of nomination.
~ Ward is counting split In hts favor
in Cincinnati, in which case he will go into
the convention with nearly majority, and
at least forty votes ahead of Hoadly. The
interior vote pledged to Ward is unwaver-
ing.
Mr. Geddes has only about seventy sup
porters among the delegates. He thinks the
prospect good that Hoadly and Ward will
kill each other off, and pins his faith to that
chance. The delegations tomorrow will
elect officers and COMMITTEES for the conven-
ton, which will proceed to business under
per rmanent organization on Thursday.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 19.-It is understood
that Postmaster-general Gresham is going
to weed out lot of postoffice inspectors one
of these days, and it is announced that Presi-
dent Arthur and Secretary Folger are very
sick of the special treasury agent nuisance.
Places of this sort in all the departments
are filled with unappreciated statesmen and
dead-duck ex-congressmen. The statesmen
take the places merely to rest until they are
called into public lite. Many have waited
twenty years for they call. They take it as
a personal affront if they are asked to do
anything.

THE RAINS AND FLOODS.
The Missouri Still Rising at st. Louis
Causing but Little Damage.

The Missouri Still Rising at st. Louis
Causing but Little Damage.
ST. Louis, June 19.-The river has risen
seven inches since last night, and the water
has spread over little more low land on
both sides of the river, but no material dam
age is yet reported. Quite a number of
families have been obliged to vacate their
houses in both the northern and southern
parts of the city on the river front, also in
East st. Louis, but this is only an inconve-
nience, entailing no particular loss. Re-
ports from the interior note high water in
all streams, washouts on railroads and de-
crops in few localities, but no serious de-
struction of property is yet reported. River
men here expect the water to reach its
height tonight or tomorrow, unless it rains
more, of which there are no present signs.
A good deal of apprehension has been felt
for the safety of the Madison dyke, on the
Illinois side of the river from Venice to
Madison Landing, bu N & sriN intact. aEse.lt
is thought that it will stand four feet more
water This dyke protects large part of
the bottom between here and Alton and
should it give way several thousand acres of
highly cultivated farm lands will be sub
merged and great destruction of crops ensue.
This is not looked for, however. The eastern
part of st. Charles county, Mo-, which
forms a long strip of splendid corn
land between the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers is nearly all submerged, and great
damage is being done to growing crops. 1t
is estimated that 10000 to $4,000 acres are
now inundated, and the river is still rising
The water at that point is now two inches
higher than two years ago. when the high
line was only exceeded by the great food of
1874. The damage to crops and farm prop
erty in st, Charles county so far Is estimated
at 800, 600

Trains Abandoned at Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, June 19-The situation
along the river is not materially changed
to-day. The water has risen about eight
inches since last night, and this evening is
nearly stationary. A dispatch from Brown
vile, below Plattsmouth, in Nebraska, says
the river fell one inch and half there this
afternoon. Most of the trains east and north
are still interrupted The Alton trains to
Chicago and st. Louis are running as usual,
also the Missouri Pacific to ST. Louis The
Hannibal sent out its passengers tonight,
going four miles down the river by ferry to
Randolph, and there transferring. There
are no trains on the Rock Island tonight.
although one came through this morning by
a roundabout route. The Wabash, the
Council Bluffs and the Burlington to Denver
have been abandoned since Saturday. The
Missouri Pacific track north is also sub
merged. The resumption of trains will de-
pend upon the rise or fall of the river.
The river at II P. NJ. is twenty-three feet by
the bridge gauge, the one heretofore used in
these dispatches, and twenty-five feet and
one-eighth inch by Signal Service measure
ment and is now at a stand.
The damage by the storms of Saturday
night and Sunday seems to have been chiefly
in southeastern Nebraska, where the loss of
crops and bridges, it is said, will be very
great. Some parts of northeastern Kansas
and northwestern Missouri also suffered but
less seriously than this vicinity. The
fruit crop was somewhat injured, though but
little serious damage to cereals is reported
In the vicinity OF Liberty, Mo-, large area
of bottom lands is overtiowed and number

A Defense of Recent Removals in the Reve-

Defense OF Recent Removals In the Reve-
nue. Service.
Warrington Special.
In speaking of recent removals of revenue
officials, Mr.. Evans said the men removed
were incompetent, while those with whom
they were to be replaced were better men,
That is all there is in the matter" said the
Commissioner. II can't see why there
should be so much of row raised over few
insignificant places like these. 1t is my de-
termination to have the best men can find,
and if learn there are any more in the
service who neglect their duties 1 shall re-
move them in the same way. That Is the
kind of a man am." Warming up with his
subject the Commissioner went on: II
don't want any agents under me to act as
spies around this Office. l want men for
whisky detectives, and that alone The re-
ports which have appeared in the papers
about this matter are instigated,
suppose, by those whom 1 have removed.
That is perhaps natural, and do not object
to it so much as the papers have to print the
news. But if Others are engaged i'll stirring
the matter up, / may have to remove them
TOO. Indeed, there are one or two moro
changes to be made anyhow. l take the
whole responsibility for these removals upon
myself. That is the kind of man l am
Before acted, however, had the Presidents
sanction. l wrote a letter embodying my
views on this subject, based upon what had
been able to gather from those in the office
who have been here much longer than I. and
who certainly knew more about it than l
did. This l submitted to the President,
and it received his approval. No. there are
