Ben BUTLER regards his letter pub
lished by the GLOBE yesterday as ''the great

so he limited himself to the compass of ten
thousand words, and though there were q
good many things he did not touch upon,
he resolutely ''shut off the steam'' when he
got to the limit. As the General is riding
two horses it would have been pardonable if
he had allowed himself more latitude.

Il WESTERN EYECUTIYE COlIlIITTEE
The Democratic national committee have
adopted very sensible plan of appointing a
subcommittee to act as an executive COM
mittee for the west, with headquarters at
Chicago. This is very proper and import
ant movement, and the wonder is that it has
not been previously done in presidential
campaigns. The appointment of this sub
committee was telegraphed some
days ago, but the following let
ter received by Mr.. Kelly yesterday is the first
formal announcement of the special work as
signed them:
HEADQUARTERS NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CON-,
II WEST FwENTYFoURTH STREET, =

mittee be appointed, consisting Of Mr.. W. F.

MaudS. Sold.

TROY, N. Y, Aug. 19.-W. II. Wander
bilt has sold Maud S. to Robert Bonner for
100000 Bonner, with his purchase, left
Saratoga this forenoon for New York. Maud
s. will be retired from the track.
New YORK, Aug. 19.-The Tart, Field and
Farm says Bonner paid Vanderbilt $50, 900
for Maud S. If Jay Eye See beats the time
of Maud s., then Bonner will put the mare
in training and give public exhibition of
speed at yorktown.
| SARATOGA, Aug. 19.-An Associated Press
reporter had an interview this evening with
Mr.. Vanderbilt and was very cordially re-
ceived. Vanderbilt said he had disposed of
Maud s but would not say what the consid-
Grafton was. However, the mare has gone
| to Robert Bonner. Vanderbilt further said
that he had disposed of the mare for the rea-
son that hehad so little time to driveher him
self. His large business operations required
all his attention. At all events the mare
will not be seen on the turf except for exhi-
btion purposes, as she will most probably be
| sent to Robert Bonners stud farm in the
fall to be mated with one of his celebrated
| stations.
1t was rumored this evening that Wander
bilt had purchased Jay Eye See. but there is
no truth in the report. Vanderbilt further
said he had received an offer from parties,
whose names he would not mention, who
wished to purchase Maud s fora consider
ably larger sum than he had taken for the
mare, but he did not wish to sell her to them,
as she might be used in a manner which he
could not sanction in any way. His desire
is the mare shall be retired as queen of the
trotting turf and in this his wish will be
gratified.
WHAT BONNER SAYS.
New YORK, Aug. 19.-Robt. Bonner said
to reporter to night he would keep the
mare for few days for road purposes, and
then would send her to one of his farms and
put her in training. Then he would give
public exhibitions to show what she can do
in beating her record, 2:09%. He believed
she could trot in 2:0S or 2:07 and he in
tended to.satisfy himself as to herspeed. He
would never allow her to trot for money or
even for prize. If Jay Eye See should beat
Maud s. time he would try to beat him, too.
He did not efter into any formal agreement
with Mr.. Vanderbilt to keep Maud out of
matches for money, but he guessed Wander
bilt knew his record well enough to be sure
he (Bonner) would do nothing of the kind.
Bonner now owns three Of the seven trotters
which have beaten the record in succession,
viz: Dexter, Rarus and Maud s.

THE CEUR D,ALENE.
A Favorable Report From that Much
Abused Country.

ID. Porter came into Salt Lake from
the CGur t:'Alene country recently. He
says the first depression has all passed
away; deeper explorations reveal the fact
that what was deemed shallow channel
is now deep river bed filled with gravel,
FIVE feet of which next the bed rock is SO
rich that in some cases FIVE ounces have
been taken out to the pan. This channel
has been located for six miles. But the
smother vein'' as it is called, higher up
than the ravine, Mr.. Porter believes will be
the richest part Of that country: A long
and expensive ditch is being brought. upon
the ground Mr.. Porter believes the CGur
d'Alens region is to prove the richest placer
mining region in the world and that it will
be good for twenty years. He lays it has
rained in that region almost daily for FIVE
months, and that the dense forest would
keep raining (dripping) for two hours after
the shower had passed. But the boys are
looking Cor spell Of clear weather now.
He describes the camp as most hopeful and
any claim which has been opened on
ragged bed rock = paying splendidly.

English Capital in Cattle Ranches.

Within the past six months about So
10000 has been invested in purchasing
stock ranches in Montana by Eastern cap
'talists. This money mainly came from
New York City. During a visit and
talk among the capitalists we find that there
isa great disposition to invest money in
Western lands and especially in the cattle
business. Perhaps capitalists are getting
sick of Wall street securities. But BY far
the greatest amount Of money invested N
American cattle-growing is BY Englishmen.
They practically control the cattle trade.
Within the past Ave years stock-raisins
has increased largely, and there IS about
five times the amount Of capital invested
now that there was then. All the talk
about 'panic in beef is done BY specula'
tors to keep up the price.-Ex.

4 HORRIBLE STORY.
The Survivors Of the Greedy Party Fed on
Their Dead Comrades.

A horrible story is Published in the n.
Y. Times, The starving survivors Of the
Greely party crazed bv starvation and hav-
ing fed upon the dead bodies of their COM
rades and that written documents in the
possession Of the navy department sub
stantiate it, The terrible narrative created
great sensation. Admiral Nichols, act
ing Secretary Of the Navy, will shortly be
searched by newspaper men, anxious to OBJ
tain something official concerning the pub
lication, says there is absolutely nothing
in the navy department confirming the
story and he doubts its truth. 1t is pos
sible, however, a report Of this kind may
have gone direct to Secretary Chandler in
New Hampshire as numerous documents
are forwarded to him without examination
here. Some persons express the opinion
quietly that there is something in the story
and it is beginning to be known the Greely
party was not as harmonious as has been
generally supposed and that there is a
story relating to the expedition which it
was intended to conceal but it must come
out in the same way the history of the
Ieannette's unfortunate cruise came to be
known to the public.
The Times story *as shown General
Hazen who was at first very non-conmit
tai. but finally with decided emphasis, he
said: "There are certain facts connected
with the matter / am not at liberty to
mention. 1t is very probable. though do
not say SO officially, they will be made the
subject of Congressional investigation
next winter The story contains some in
accuracy, notably that in which reference
is made to devouring the amputated limbs
of those who suffered the loss of legs and
arms in order to preserve their lives"
General Hazen was asked what truth there
was in the statement that young Henry
had been shot and his body eaten. 'That
is subject" he replied, "upon which
must decline to be interviewed"

THE GREAT EXPOSITION.
To he Opened in New Orleans in Decem-
ber Next.

The Exposition at New Orleans is at
tracing the attention Of the press IN all
parts OF the country and abroad. Almost
every newspaper has something to say
about the preparations that are being made
to further the work Of State or local asso-
Citations. The special representatives Of the
Exposition commissioned by President Ar
thur, for the purpose of procuring exhibits
have found the newspapers ready to report
speeches and print the latest news relating
to the Worlds Fair. This circumstance
no doubt springs from the fact that the peo-
pie throughout the land read with much
interest all that is printed concerning this
great enterprise. BY the widespread in
tlnence of the press the Exposition is known
and talked about in India, Australia, on
the banks of the Congo, in the South
American republics, and in the frozen re-
gions Of the North. Seeming impossible
ties have been overcome, and the scheme
limited to cotton exhibition at first, has
been enlarged by degrees till it now en-
braces grand exposition of arts, manu-
features, mines, agriculture, and in fact
about nearly everything in which the peo-
pie of to-day are interested. This Expo
sition is to be opened in December next,
covers more ground, has more exhibits en-
tered, than can be recorded of any other
Worlds Fair ever attempted.
Aside from the pecuniary means fur
nished, the untiring industry of its direc-
tors, this marvel of the nineteenth century
owes much Of its renown to the power OF
the newspapers.
