ALEXANDER CLARK is one of tho ablest
colored men in the land. He resides at Mus
catine, Iowa, and in response to a request
made by many people in Iowa, Of both races,
he recently wrote, for publication in the Mus
catine journal, an extended review of the
decision of the United States supreme court
on the civil rights act. In it he shows great
power of statement, and recalls the names of
the more prominent among the statesmen
who gave their assent to the act in question
He warmly urges the adoption Of Senator

FROM the tenor of our foreign dispatches
it is evident China is preparing to fight
France. In the lull that followed the fall Of
sontay it looked as though the Chinese were
cowcd and indisposed to interfere with the
operations of the French so long as they were
confined to Tonquin, but the latest advices
show that the Chinese are greatly excited,
the war party being in control. If it be true
that lie Hong Chang has gone over TO them, the
most potent influence in China for peace has
disappeared, and it is hard to sec how war
in which we will have material interest is to
be averted.

ADJUSTMENTS.

FoRDs-"RIr VAN w1NKLE."
Tho romantic opera Of rip Van Wrinkle"
will DO presented at Ford's this week by Mr..
Charles Il. Ford's comic opera company. The
music Of this opera is by Robert Planquotte,
composer Of tho "Chimes of Normandy" The
opera differs considerably from tho well
known play of the same name, and in many
respects tells q much moro agreeable story.
The Rip of the opera is much nobler
character than the old vagabond of the
play, and in other respects the librettist
has made more artistic performance than
tho dramatist. Tho music, however, Is tho
main attraction. 1t has been sung before in
Washington, and won public favor very de.
cidedly. Mr. Fords company is decidedly
stronger than the one by which the opera
was rendered last fall, and the cast embraces
its full strength. The opera will run the
whole week. Tonight wcok the Lytton
Sothern combination opens at this theater.

Mgr. Capel will lecture tonight in Lincoln

owes to Catholicism, as shown in the firm
basis upon which authority in the state and
family has been placed by tho influence of

the subject in his usual clear and forcibe
manner. 1t is continuation of the subject
on which tho very interesting and able lee
ture was delivered by this fascinating speaker
last Monday night at the same place.
MR.. JOSEPH COOK.
The indications are that there will be an
immense audience at the Congregational
church tonight to hear Mr.. Joseph Cook on
the "Seven Modern Wonders of the World"
Since its preparation this lecture has been
called for more frequently than any other of
Mr.. Cooks lectures, and, as it has never been
given in this city, there will be a general de-
sire to hear it. Tomorrow evening his sub
ject will be "The Failures of Unbelief"

WHEN the question as to which committee

not a voice from Mississippi was heard either
in the senate or the house. 1t was not so
when Chalmers was there. He was ever
watchful and vigilaut in pressing the inter-

prefer killing political opponents to preserve
their white civilization to building up their
material interests, counted him out of their
representation.

The reports elected an hour of warm
debate, caused by many thinking the ma
jority report was sufficient without the
addition of the minority. The anxiety of
so many to be heard caused much con-
fusion.
The majority report was signed by
twenty.three names OF the Committee on
Platform.
A motion to adjourn till tomorrow
morning was voted down at II 80 o'clock,
and the discussion was continued.
motion to adjourn was ade amid
calls for Marchbanks and widest con-
fusion, during which all efforts to take
vote proved unavailing.
Mr.. Cardwell took the floor, but failed
to get a hearing en- account Of the de-
termination to have Marchbanks or ad-
journ. Cardwell refused to yield the floor
to motion to adjourn. Chairman Atkins
demonstrated until partial order was re-
stored and Cardwell got a hearing, but
was so much interrupted that the most
OF his Grafton was lost. With a
stubborn persistency worthy of better
cause he spun the thread of his argument
to conclusion, not half a dozen sentences
being heard by the convention. An ad-
journment was finally effected, with
Cardwell in possession OF the floor on
meeting tomorrow inornins.

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.
Twenty Men Thrown in the River at
Louisville and All Rescued bat One.

LOUISVILLE, June 1S.-One Of the most
remarkable accidents that has occurred
about the falls in long time,iin which the
lives OF twenty men were involved, hap
pened at the foot of Jackson street to day
Men were employed in unloading a large
barge of gravel, when suddenly the barge,
which was cid and rotten, sprung a leak
and collapsed before the men could get
off, breaking violently into three pieces.
1t threw twenty men high in the air and
all fell in mass into fifteen feet OF water
For awhile the scene was one of the wild
est confusion. The bo5bing heads of the
men seemed like so many corks. They
were fighting and scranbling with each
other for support. Men on the shore
threw them ropes and plank and all were
drawn out except one, negro named
Fletcher Phillips, who went down
with the barge. A majority of the
men are uninjured, but three or four
are seriously hurt by being struck by
timbers of the barge. Those are George
Warren, George Smith and Jim Hatch.
Hatch was drawn ashore after having been
under the water several minutes, ia an
unconscious condition, having received
internal injuries from which he WI die.
Several men had to be resuscitat,.., by
having the water rolled out OF t,es'.
When Clinton Pierce went down Il. {
men clung to him and held him at !.
bottom of the river and he only released
himself after hard struggle in which he
choked one man until he was exhausted.

ST. LOUIS, June 1S.-The seventeenth

spring meeting was favored with large
attendance, greater than on any previous
day, and fast track, weather clear and very
warm. The different stables were packing
up getting ready to leave. Most of the
horses go to Chicago. The meeting has
been the most successful for many years.
A new track will be ready for racing next
spring. 1t is being built at the old fair
grounds, and will be under different man.
agement from the present track. Lew
Clark does all in his power to please the
horsemen, and it is reported that he will
be one OF the leading men at the new
track. The jockey, Fishburn, is still at
the hospital, but will be able TO leave
about the tlne of the Washington Park
meeting. The winners were Bill Adel,
Nacillator, Jaquita, Rosary and Miss
Mauls!ey. Just after the colts had finished
in the first race, which was declared no
start, Ed Carrigan purchased Bill Adel and
engaged Conkling to ride him in the run
off. Bill Adel won by length, Ultimatum
