RoCKPoRT, Mass, May 22.-The ar,
rival of the Faraday was greeted by a
thousand people and the firing of cannon
The shore end was landed and will be
connected with the section previously
buoyed about fifty miles east. Rockport
citizens rendered a reception but the off
GERS declined to accept till the cable was
complete. When the Faraday stcams
away this afternoon she will proceed to a
buoy $50 miles northeast where She will
splice the cable, thus making Il complete
circuit from Dover bay to Rockport. She
will then steam thirty miles east from
Dover Bay and take up and splice the
shore end laid from Dover Bay towards
the Irish coast When this splice is made
she will sail for ireland, paying out a
thousand miles of the deep sea section.
She will then buoy the end of the section
and proceed to London for the remainder
of the deep sea section. After taking
this on board she will go back to her buoy
and finish laying the deep sea section to
the Irish coast.

NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS.
They Hold a Meeting at Lin
coin Yesterday
And Pass Some Very Strong
and Timely Resolutions.
The Old Ticket, Tilden and
Hendricks, Their Choice.
Mr.. Hoar Creates a Little Sen,
sation in Congress.
Nebraska Democrats.

LINCOLN, Neb., May 22.-The Demo
at s O'Clock. An hour was spent over
temporary organization which was finally
effected by electing b. n. Human, of
Lincoln, County Chairman, The follow
ing platform was adopted:
We, the delegates of the Democratic
party of the state of Nebraska, in conven-
ton assembled do submit the following
platform of reforms and measures:
First-To demand a vigorous frugality
in every department and from every
officer ofthe Government, and we heartily
concur in the sentiment that no reform of
administration is possible so long as the
Government is directed by the party
under the dominion of false doctrines and
animated by pecuniary interests
and interested in the perpetuating of
existing abuses: that the first effectual
steps in the reform of our Government
must be the fundamental change in the
policy of its administration.
Second-That in view of the unequal
and discriminating operation of the exist
ing tariff and the unjust and excessive
burdens imposed upon the people, we are
in favor of a revision which shall limit it
to the production of necessary revenues
for the Government if economically adj
ministered; that it should be so adjusted
as to prevent, as far as possible, unequal
burdens upon labor, and to bear most
heavily on articles of luxury and lightly
on articles of necessity. We believe such
a revision of tariff laws, simpliied in
their operation and administration, will
decrease the growth of ~monopolies, pre-
vent oppression and spoliation of labor
and the unequal distribution of wealth,
and abolish special and class legislation.
Resolred, That our fathers under the
lead of Thomas jefferson. rescued our re
public from the control of federalism and
the alien and sedition laws of the Elder
Adams, so will the Democratic party of
1884, if united, hurl the Republican
party from power and re-elect Samuel j.
Tilden and Thomas Hendricks, president
and vice-president Of the United States.
The balloting for, delegates-at-large re-
suited in the election of james +. Boyd,
Of Douglas county; j. Sterling Morton,
of Otoe; W. H. Munger, of Dodge, and
Tobias Castor, of Saline, delegates; all
for Tilden. Adjourned.

Washington Notes.

WAsHINGToN, May 22.-The Senate
to-day took up the bill to prohibit the
mailing of newspapers and other publica-
tions containing lottery advertisements.
Senator Vest objected to its consideration
and the Senate by a vote of % yeas to 20
nays decided not to consider the bill and
it goes to the foot of the calendar. Sen
ator Van Wyck submitted an amend
meut, to be proposed at the proper time,
extending the provisions of the lottery
bill SO as to prohibit the mailing of news
papers or other publications containing
advertisements or notices of sales of rail
road, mining or other stocks of corpora
tons by margins, or puts and calls, or
any agency thereof, or any notice, report
or statement of any such sales.
Mr.. Morgan, of the committee on
foreign relations, submitted a proposed
amendment to the consular and diplomatic
bill, appropriating $4,000 to enable the
President to open commercial or diplo-
matte intercourse with the Congo country.

The Penn Bank Re-opens.

PITTsBURG, May 22.-A more COM
plete understanding of the exact condition
of the Penn bank, and a feeling that they
will be able to pay all liabilities, together
with the concerted action of the bankers
last night has had a ~reassuring effect and
confidence has to a large extent been re-,
stored. 1t was feared there would be runs
on several of the banks reported on the
street last night as in 4 weak condition,
but a visit to the alleged shakey institutions
at noon found all serene, with checking
out not much greater than usual. Bank
ers express themselves as perfectly able
to meet the demands made on them.
The officials of PENIS bank are busy to-
day getting affairs into shape for resump-
ton tomorrow. Their clearances were
made good to-day, and o-morrew they
will open their doors with 5000, 600 in
cash on counters. Many of the largest
depositors have s%ignifed their intention of
allowing their money to lay in the bank,
and long before the regular hour for open
ing this morning a number of the heaviest
depositors forced their way to the side
entrance and insisted on making deposits;
the bank refused to accept, however,
until they resume tomorrow.

DETROIT, Mich, May 22.-The Amer
lean Baptist Publication society, having
headquarters at Philadelphia, continued
its meetings to-day. The church was
~thronged, fully fifteen hundred delegates
from all parts of the country being pre-
sent. Officers were elected for the coming
year. At the morning session they were
addressed by Rev, o. p. Clifford, of Bos'
ton, ON the attitude that the Baptists
should occupy to the American Bible
society. This was to let that society
alone. c. Dixon, of Baltimore, delivered
an eloquent address on the duty of Baptists
North and South to the Bible work of the
Publication Society. A spirited debate
sprung up upon funding money and using
the interest rather than using the prin-
cipal at once. The board were given
their own discretion by formal resolution.
The society's Sunday school work was
considered this afternoon.
The large edifce Of the First Baptist
church was crammed to the doors. DR.
James Walters, Tennessee, described the
field and the call for the work. Rev. w.
T. Chase, Of Minneapolis, urged that the
National society be vigorously sustained.
The receipts for the past year ofthe three
departments of business surpass those Of
previous years. The grand total
was 1852. 957 So, an increase of$Gl, O3S AZ.

WASHINGTON, May PA decided sen
sation wa created in the House by the ac-
ton of Mr.. Horr, in rising to a question Of
privilege, and charging Hon. VIM. II.
English with the violation ofthe privileges
of an ex-member by lobbying in the inter
est of his son in the English-Pee cleo
ton case. Mr.. English was vigorously de-
Tended by Messrs. Randall and Cox, of
New York, and no action was taken,
though probably a resolution may
bly, be adopted to-day directing the com
mittee on rules to inquire whether Mr..
English has violated the privileges of the
floor. As a result of the English-Peel
contest, VIM. English has been sworn in
as a member of the seventh Indiana dis.
trict, the vote stood, yeas 100, nays l27.
MI. Hor promised, if an investiga,
ton was ordered, to prove a good deaI
more than he had stated. The House has
adopted a resolution directing a specia.
committee of seven to inquire into the
question as to whether or not, Hon. VIM.
III. English has violated the privilege o.
the floor, or whether any ex-member EN-
ploped as an attorney in any contested
election case, or for any railroad or Other
corporation, has abused its privileges

New YORK, May 22.-Leonard Ward,
after spending the day in e%ndeavoring to
find $500, 900 bail was taken to the Ludlow
Street Jail and lodged in a cell there. He
refused to see any person.
General U. S. Grant stated tonight the
rumor hat his son, Z. S. Grant, Jr., had
fled to escape arrest was wholly without
foundation. His son had gone this
evening to Morristown, n. j., where he
lives, and would be at his Office at the
usual hour tomorrow morning. Both
his sons, the General said, were in town
and intended to remain here. They had
no money to make a trip to Canada even
if they wanted to 60 there. He was very
indignant that the report had been cir
culated or that credence should have been
given it.

The Brewers, Resolute.

ROCHESTER, May 22.-The National
Brewers association adopted the follow
ing: Whereas the temperance politicians
instigate and make use of such misreprc-
sensations, and aided by sentimentalities,
hypocricy, selfshness and fanaticism on
one hand, and laudable, honest but mis-,
directed intention on the other, bring
about the enactment of probationary or
unduly restrictive laws, and thus drag our
business into politics, and tits hereby:
Resolred, that in self defence the
United States Brewers Association is
forced by its opponents to abandon the
policy Of political independence, hereto
fore maintained as one of its principles,
and to declare that as an organization we
shall in the future exert our influence in
the support of that political party which
adopts and carries out an unprecedented,
rational, discriminating and tolerant pol
icy in the legal treatment Of our business
and in dealing with the problem of in
temperance in the tn sense of this much
abused word.

TOLEDO, May 22.-This afternoon Mrs.
Emma Pfann and Miss Title Fear, sis
tiers, were walking in the suburbs with a
baby carriage containing two children,
took refuge from a thunder storm under a
large poplar tree by the roadside. A bolt
Of lightning struck the tree, tearing it to
pieces, killing Miss Fear, the current
entering the top of her head where the
hair was torn off in a circle the size of a
quarter of a dollar and passed through
her body tearing both of her shoes to
pieces. Mrs, Pfann had one shoe torn
off and was shocked but not otherwise
hurt. The children were not hurt.

NEW YORK, May 22.-General Butler

Anti Monopoly organization for President
of the United States. The following is
his letter of acceptance
LOWELL, MASS, May 81, 1884.
GENTLEMEN-I have the honor to re-
ceive your courteous note giving me the
action of the convention in Chicago on
the l4th instant, of the representatives of
Anti Monopoly, and the honor of desig-
nation by such a body as candidate for
the Presidency of this republic cannot he
too highly appreciated. Concurring each
measure of public policy set forth in the
resolutions, ! need only add, if the votes
of the electors shall intrust me with the
executive powers of that high office each
of them will be fully, justly and energeti-
cally used to make every measure a relief
to the people and a reform in the govern
ment as pointed out by your platform.
The principles and realities of the admin
istration accept for yourselves personally,
my most grateful consideration.

GALVESTON, May 22.-The Neaos Lar
edo special says: No confirmation can be
had here of the reported revolutionary
outbreak at Linaries, Mexico, which is
about forty miles southeast of Monterey.
The only report that has reached here is
to the effect that a great co~nfagration has
prevailed at Linaries. The Monterey
Reri$ta, an influential journal, in an cdi-
torial upon the present state of affairs in
Mexico, closes with this significant SEN
tence sit is a functional law of nation
a%lities, that excessive tyranny will, sooner
or later, produce liberty. Do you under
stand, our final destiny is to become Yam
kees?"
Heavy rains have visited this portion of
Texas for the last two days. The Rio
Grande is very high. The rain was badly
needed in the country about and around
Laredo.

ST. LOUIS, May 22.-Prominent cattle
men from Texas, who have just made an
extensive our through the cattle region
and some of the northern markets, says:
The outlook for beeves is very fine. They
report that some advanced herds from
Texas have already arrived in Dodge City,
Kansas, and says that that the seasons
drive from Texas will be larger than it has
been for ten years, and will probably reach
a half million head.

Municipa1 Coin Vanishes.

ST. LOUIS; May 22.-The vault in the
City hall, in East st. Louis, was wrecked
last night by burglars, and property valued
at S3S, 900 taken. Most of it is in city
scrip and is good for its face value. The
combination to the vault was broken with
a heavy hammer. Two holes were then
bored through the safe near the combina-
ton lock, and powder was then poured in
and exploded. The explosion was not
sufficient to open the door and a hole two
feet square wa dug through the 30 inch
brick wall of the vault. Inside of the
vault is a smaller safe in which the money
and valuables are kept, but it showed no
signs of having been violently opened, ex-
cept hat it was sprung. The small draw,
ers in this safe were forced open and the
contents taken. A large sledge hammer,
a horse shoers hammer, n common brace
and several small tools used-by Il black,
smith, were found this morning on the
floor of the clerks room. All were iden.
titled by Patrick Burns, u horse sheer, on
Collinsville avenue, as having been stoler
from his shop last night. A reward Of
1000 is offered for the burglars.

LONDON, May 22.-The steamer Cas-
Italia Palmero, bound for New York,
grounded off Denia, Spain. Jettisoned

prevents assistance. The British ship
Syria was wrecked off the FIJI Islands.
Seventy passengers were drowned. The
lost passengers were all coolies.

GALVESTON, May 22.-Specials to the
NetCs from all portions of the state indi.
cate the recent rainfall to be one of the
heaviest ever known in Texas; in portion
and area it has never been surpassed in
the written history of the state. 1t is
thought that $50 miles of the Houston q
Texas Central track is under water to an
average depth of nearly two feet.

Want the U. P. to Withdraw.

CHICAGO, May 22.-The T~ransconti-
mental Railway association resumed its
session this forenoon. As the condition of
joining the proposed money pool of Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe road urges that
