Board of Trade was held at the council
chambers yesterday morning with most Of
the directors present.
Secretary Millar1 spoke Of the proposed
improvements in the postoffice building. He
said that he was opposed 10 the improve

present postoffice is entirely too small, and
what the people want is new building and
not patched up old one which cannot be
made fit for postoffice If extended back 100

MONTGOMERY, Mimi, July 26-The Re-
publicans of this place are making desperate
attempts to get up an excitement In favor of
their candidate. Two weeks ago they held a
meeting and resolved to have Blaine club
and a flag and pole. Saturday, the 10Th was
the day set for raising the pole, but some
thing happened and the raising was put off
until to-day, when few of them got to-
gether and spliccd the pole that had been
laying out seasoning for week. When all
was ready they got an old OK team and went
for the pole, but to their great Joy they found
crowd Of little boys there and with their
aid managed TO carry the pole without the OK
team. And what sight--a dozen men and
boys carrying pole, and the old OK team in
the rear. Such a sorrowful crowd never be-
fore was seen. II they we're

could not have looked more doleful. And
then another Disappointment. the speaker Of

want TO be seen IN the crowd. There are
different rnmors in circulation in regard TO

WASHINGTON LADY CLERKS.
Some Gossip Rejecting Upon the Char
acter of Some of them.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The following
solacious gossip is printed in the CAPITOL:
"a member representing one of the down
town departments related the following Incl
dent in connection with recent recomend
alton for promotion. It appears that chief
of a certain division in the Interior depart
ment was called upon by the chief of the
bureau to submit the names of persons who
were entitled 10 promotion. There appeared
ON the list of recommendations the name of
a certain lady employe who is said to be on
very friendly terms with the aforesaid chief
of the division Before the promotions were
made the chief of the bureau summoned the
chief of the division and informed him that
he, the chief of the bureau, had
received a number of anony-
nous letters stating that the lady
referred to was unworthy of promotion be-
cause of her inefliciency and her mysterious
intimacy with the chief of the division The
latter, who had prepared his resignation be-
forehand, at this point presented it to the
chief OF the bureau, saying: "There is my
resignation. | am now in position to talk
to you frankly. You have received number
of anonymous letters rejecting upon the
character of ain estimable lady and
an excellent clerk Now I propose to
address you an anonymous letter. which will
state you are in the habit of meeting certain
lady employees of this bureau clandestinely
and escorting them to improper places; also
that several of these ladies were recently pro-
NOTED over the heads of more faithful and
deserving clerks"
At this stage in the proceedings the chief
of the bureau grew excited and demanded
that nothing more should be said on the sub
jcct. At the same time he declined the prof
fered resignation. The chief of the division
asked permission to see the anonymous
letters that his chief had received They
were produced for inspection and the chief
of the division after carefully
scrutenizing the penmanship of
the letters remarked: ''That was written
by Miss -. this by Mrs. -, and this
one by Miss -. Now will 90 back to nv
desk, if you will promote the lady have rec
commended and transfer the three anony-
nous letter writers out of my division"
The chief of the bureau said an order to
that effect would be issued, and the scene

STANLEY. BACK FROM CONGO.
And Reports Trading Prospects Good
in That Country.
He Thinks General Gordon May Escape n
He VIII.

LONDON, July 2S.-Henry NJ Stanley, the
African explorer, arrived at Plym outh this
evening, in an interview with an Associated
Press representative, Stanley said he had re-
turned to England considering he has COM
pleted the work of establishing satisfactory
trading stations on the Congo river from its
mouth to Stanley Pool, 40 miles by the
river. When he left the Congo country he
was suffering badly from bronchitis, but was
much benefited by the sea voyage. lie Gu
logized the trading prospects of the country
in the vicinity of the Congo river.
Stanley considered that Gen. Gordon com
mands perfectly practicable routes of escape
from Khartoum, whether by way of Zanz-
bar on the east, or down the Congo to the
west coast, if the Nile is blocked. He con-
sidered that Gen. Gordon can during the
present season ascend the Nile on steamers
from Khartoun to Gondokan, distance of
800 miles, in eight days, thence proceed to
Bahar and Elgasazal and join Lupton Bey,
who commands 400 troops having in their
possession $40, 900 worth of money. Gordon.
could then proceed with this addition to his

refuse to take this journey, or should some
other course prevent the plan Gordon could
cross to Uganda, reach the Stanley stations,
and proceed down the Congo. Stanley con-
siders the routes traversed by Schweinfurth,
Samuel and Lady Baker, and the Italian and
Austrian missionaries, cannot be insur-
mountable to Gordon, the soldier. traveller
and explorer. Should the garrisons at inter-
mediate ports along the Nile be endangered,
| Gordon could take them along with him. If
they refused to accompany him at first they
would be sure to follow after
he had gone on. Stanley believes
the sending of large English force to extri-
cate Gordon would be most perilous under
taking, and would likely be attended with
great loss of life and expense. The Eng
lish troops would be unable to stand the eli
mate,
Stanley commends the abandoning of the
Cong treaty. He considers the leaving of
Cong in the hands of the Portuguese very
inimical to English interests. The popula-
ton of Madeira prepared an ovation for
Stanley when his steamer arrived there, but
he was unable to land owing to quarantine
regulations. Stanley was rendered an ova-
ton at Plymouth on his arrival.

The Irish-American.

New YORK, July Chickering hall was
crowded tonight at a meeting of Irish born
citizens who favor the election of Blaine
and Logan. Austin G.. Ford was chairman.
1t was strange thing to see 5000 Irish
Americans assembled In New York to en-
dorse a nominee of the Republican party
The first speaker was Rev. George Pepper,
of Ohio. He said they had come
together to defeat the candidate
supported by the London Tinles The Re-
publican party had always been opposed by
the English government whose sympathies
had always been with the Democrats. 1t was
the party of personal liberty and protection
of labor. Free trade cripples every country
into which it has been introduced. He pre-
dicted that in November next Gov Cleve-
land would be buried so deeply that
the sound of Gabriel,s trumpet would
never reach him. Not one
in ten Irishmen in Ohio would vote for
Cleveland. The Catholics there were all op-
posed to him. Henry Cary Baird was the
next speaker. lie said the only way to down
England was to cripple her industries and
this could be done by keeping the Republi-
can party in power. Judge Boorman.
of Iowa, said he had come 400
miles TO be present at Ithe meeting
The Democrats had said for forty years be-
cause they were Irish they must vote the
Democratic ticket. 1t was poor time to
say they would vote the Republican ticket
for the same reason. Tue other speakers
were P T Barry, of Illinois, and Captain
O'Meagher Candon. of Washington A cir
culsr was distributed setting forth the
reasons why Cleveland should not be sup
ported by the workingmen.

LATE MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.
The Cantteny Hob.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.


MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 30, 1 a. m.-As
on the two previous nights large crowds of
people gathered around the jail last night
with the declared intention of lynching Can
tieny, yet there seemed to be little excite
ment. Iii stated by those who assume to
know whereof they speak that the only noisy
demonstration made was by the
friends OF the prisoner and
that for the purpose of urging the mob on to
violence, and to break down the doors that
they might rescue him, large number Of
hacks stood near by containing, it is alleged
members of the Cantieny gang armed to the
teeth, and in case Cantieny was brought out
they would open deadly fire into the mob,
and make dash for Cantieny.
seize him, place him in a carriage and hurry
him off to place of safety, as elsewhere
stated. Cantieny, however, was not in the
Jail, although it it probable he is in the city.
1t would have been difficult matter to have
taken him very far without the
people having a knowledge of it.
Cantieny is too well known. Furthermore
there is no truth in the rumor that he was
removed from the Jail on Saturday. He was
seen in the Jail by several yesterday. In
order to satisfy the mob it was pro-
posed by the officers that a commit
tee of three be appointed to make
an investigation. c. A. Smith and two
others were accordingly selected and they
searched the Jail from ground to roof, and
were satisfied that the man they wanted was
not there. Still the mob was not pacifed,
They suspected that it was a put
up job and demanded q further in
vestigation. Then another delegation,
headed by A. j. Finnigan, the cousin of
the murdered policeman, made search.
Mr.. Finnigan came out and addressed the
mob. He explained that he probably was
ten times more DESTROYS of a7enging his
cousins death than any other man present,
and he had satisfied himself that Cantieny
was not in the jail. Then the mob slowly
disappeared. This occurred at 1:30 a. m.
1t was stated on pretty re-
liable authority that one band
of vigilantes organized late in the evening
and were to make an attempt to hang Can
tieny. Later in the night, after the mob had
entirely left and the city was entirely quiet,
they are somewhat afraid of the gang which
has made their brags that they would never
let Cantieny hang, and are prepared to give
a desperate fight If need be.
Last night mischievous boy placed a tor
pedo on a street car rail ON Hennepin ave-
nue., and when it exploded it created tenn

The Failure of DeWolf g. Swan.

New YORK, July 28.-After the suspension
was announced to-day at the stock exchange
Of the firm of DeWolf Il Swan, of 80,
Broad street. rumor was current that the
failure was due to fraud upon the firm, owing
to false power af attorney in connection
with certain securities which had been
placed in their hands to realize upon. A
member of the firm stated customer with
whom the firm had been dealing for four
years had deposited with them $50, 900 of
securities The securities were property of
an estate of which the customer was a trus-
tee. Tbs securities were loaned and the
proceeds paid over to him when it was found
the power of attorney which had been pre-
scented was detached and was fradu-
lent, and the firm was re-
sponsibe to the estate for
the securities. The customer, whose name
was not disclosed, is said to be a BROOKLYN
lawyer well known in society and in business
circles. Whether he is responsible the firm
has not yet ascertained. 1t is further stated
the liabilities of the firm outside of these
liabilities would not exceed $50, 00O The
securities comprised stock of the Central
Trunk pany of New York, Elevated
Railroad and Municipal Gas Light company.

was deserving of censure in not making
such examination of the authority conferred
by the power of attorney when they found 1t
was detached from the securities.
