Jay Gould Explains Recent Gossip.

New YORK, June 16.-Jay Gould was
annoyed by the rumor which gained circula-
ton that note of his had gone TO protest. AT
his Office it was explained that he had re-
deemed notes of the Wabash Company
amounting to $65 600, which bore the joint
Endorsement of Gould, Sage, Humphreys
and Dillon. There are about So, 900, 600 of
these notes outstanding, which, it is said,
Russell Sage has been redeeming from timid
holders at a prodigious discount. When
this 500, 600 note became due the receiver,
Mr. Humphreys, was absent, the company
was in state of transition from the owners
TO the receiver, and the bank gave notice to
the first indorser, Mr.. Gould, who advised
that it be sent to protest in order to make
each indorser equally liable to the holders.
The notes can be converted into receivers
certificates, bearing six per cent. interest
and lien on the property.

CAIRO, June 1S.-The Government has
just received news confirming the fall Of
Berber: The garrison fought hefoicalls
and kept up deadly fire on the rebels ui:
til their ammunition was exhausted. The
rebels discerning the cause of the cessation
Of the fire from the garrison, charged upon
the works, falling on the Egyptians in
overwhelming numbers. A fierce hand-to-
hand fight ensued. The Egyptians soon
succumbed: The captors then massacred

citizeifs Of Berber, fifty persons only SUR

ifa, the Governor, was badly wounded du-
ring the fight, but his life was spared. He
\ is now held prisoner by the rebels. 1t IS
stated 30, 600 Arabs have started for Dom
COLA, determined to capture the place.
Hussien Pacha Khalifa, the Mudir of Ber-
Der, was reputed to be the brayest and
ablest Pacha in the Soudan. He had 1000
women and children under his protection
whom Gei1efal Gordon had sent down
from Khartouri, believing that General
Graham would open the road from
Suakim. Berber, moreover, is the base
from which the operations will have to be
undertaken for tho relief of Khartoum:
Hussien Pasha's last appeal has a pathetic
significance. He recently telegraphed to
Nubar Pasha, the Egyptian Prime Minist er,
as follows: "Are troops coming to my as
sistance? can hold out little longer.
The Mahdi's Lieutenant is now between
Shenda and Berbef: HS has sent emIrs
and emissaries to the Ulenias as
Berber and all the villages in its dis
trict, and also all the districts between
Shendy and Khartoum, demanding immedi;
ate submission to Our Lord. the long ex.
pected one There are seven hundred fight
ing men only in the garrison" Nubar
inquired if troops could be sentvia Korosko,
and was informed that it was impossible
unless an enormous number of cameIs were
taken to carry water Nubar exclaimed,
soliloquizing, TOO latel | fear there is no
hope of relieving the garrisons."
LONDON; June 13.-The news of the mas
sacre at Berber has created great sensa.
ton in London. The speedy downfall Of
the Ministry is now looked upon as certain.
The entire Soudan south of the great bend
of the Nile is under the complete control of
the false Prophet, with the possible excep-
ton of the little area bounded by the walls
of Khartoum.
1t is estimated that fully 10000 people
were butchered in Berber. The population
of the city was about 5000, the garrison
numbered nearly 1000, and 1900 women
and children had recently been sent thither
from Khartoum.

The Scott Liquor Law.


COLUMBUS, o., June 1S.-The Supreme
Court announcedit its decision yesterday in the
Scott Liquor law cases. In that of King VS..
Capellar, judgment was affirmed, and in
that Of Butzman vs.. Wbitbeck, judgment
was reversed. This declares the second sec
ton of the law, pertaining to first lien
ON the premises, unconstitutional, and
leaves the rest Of the law valid and oper-
alive as heretofore The question Of the
constitutionality of the whole law is held
not to be raised, and the court stops with
this record. The liquor dealers will there
fore be required to pay the June collection
tax under the law, leaving the matter open
to further test before the semi annual pay

A Free-Trade Movement.

New YORK, June 13.-An important
meeting OF leading political economists was
held last evening at the University Club,
where the first steps were taken to form a
National Society in the interest OF

nent present were Prof. Sumner, of
Yale, Prof Perry, of Williams, Hon.

combine for the purpose of more effectively

cOnfine the membership to such as have
made a practical profession of political
economy as writers, professors, lecturers, and
not to all who sympatllize with the princi.
pie of revenue reform as an adjunct to DO

heavy frost Saturday night caused consider
able damage to growing crops. Cape Cod
district reports the prospect for the cram
berry crop entirely ruined, involving loss
OF many thousands of dollars. Potatoes and
corn and vines of all kinds are seriously

BIaine's Nomination.
THE FEELING AT WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 8 The repub-
lcan leaders here are overwhelmed
with CONSERVATION and dismay at the
flood of evidence coming from all parts
of the country, that the Chicago con-
yention made fatal blunder. The
democratic senator's and representatives
were at first pleased with the republican
nomination, but they we've delighted
when they read the newspapers yester-
day, They see in this nomination great
opportunity for the democratic party.
1t is only question, the leaders say,
of good nomination on good plat
form. If the democratic party makes
the mistake of nominating a weak can
didate on a Juggling tariff plank, it will
undoubtedly be defeated, but if it NOM
mates strong man on bold, uuequiv-
ocal revenue reform plank, it will sue
coed. This is the opinion of the ablest
leaders of the democratic party in con-
gress. They turn to Bayard as the
man of the hour. Col. Theodore Ly-
man set forth the situation when he
said: "The republicans are very I'M
easy over the utterances of the New
York Times and the Boston Advertiser.
They will hurt Blaine very much. If
the democrats will only nominate a
good man, he will receive large
support from the republicans. Bay
ard is such a man. | think he
would carry Massachusetts. He would
have my vote" Col. Lyman tele-
graphed to Secretary John Carter, in
response to a request for his opinion
upon the republican ticket, 81 am dis
gusted." Congressman Lowering said
that he was glad that Blaine had been
nominated. With the proper candidate
he could be defeated in Massachusetts,.
Representative Tulley of California
said to-day: "This talk about Blaine's
popularity on the Pacific coast is, like
all the Blaine talk, brag and buster.
He is no stronger than any other re-
publican. He will not carry Califor-
MA" Representative Gibson of West
Virginia said: "West Virginia cannot
be carried for Blaine. He is no
stronger than any other republican in
that state. We will beat him."
