Logan's Letter.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Following
are the closing paragraphs of Logan's
letter of acceptance:
Under our liberal institutions the
subjects and citizens of every nation
have been welcomed to home in our
midst, and on compliance with our
laws to a cooperation in our govern
ment. While it is the policy of the
republican party to encourage the op-
pressed of other nations and offer
them facilities for becoming useful
and intelligent citizens in the legal
definition Of the term, the party has
never contemplated the admission of
class of servile people who are not
only unable to comprehend our insti-
tutions. but indlsposed to become a
part of our national family or to en-
brace any higher civiliza ton than
their own, To admit such immigrants
would be only to throw retarding
| element into the very path of ouI
progress. Our legislation should be
amply protective against this danger
and if not SO sufficiently so now
should be made so to the full extent
allowed by our treaties with friendly
powers.
The subject of civil service admin
istration is a problem that has occu
pied the earnest thought of statesmen
for a number of years past, and th'
record viii show that, toward its solu

MINNEAPOLIS, July 22.-All incom-

Gen. Washburn's residence, whose
guest he is.
At Vests hotel, great crowd col
lected and cries for speech rent the
air. Gen. Logan bowed his acknowl-

will deliver an address at Camp Beat

st. Paul and Minneapolis have thrown
open all private residences, and
still the crowds can hardly be accom-
modated. A yet greater rush is re-
served for tomorrow, when the grand
parade will occur.
Gen. Sherman has just come in
from the lakes. He was greeted with
the widest enthusiasm. The Flam-

Arriving at Pittsburg.
PITTsBURG, July 22.-Delegates to
the national prohibition convention
are arriving on every train, and con-
siderable amount of enthusiasm is
manifested among them, as well as
the local friends of the movement.
Mcdonald seems to be in the lead for
the presidential nomination but the
adherents of Gideon Stewart and Ex-
Gov. st. John are working energetic
ally for them. Jno. B. Finch, of Neb.
is the only one mentioned as tempo
rary chairman, except Miss Francis
Willard, who may not be able to
attend.
The main feature of the platform
will be prohibition and home protec-
tion; favor civil service reform; re-
moving the appointing power from
the president; and making all offices
elective; oppose all monopolies and
special privileges; declare in favor of
reserving the public lands for actual
settlers; denounce stock and grain
speculations; and take high grounds
on all questions of moral reform; will
favor female suffrage and denounce
polygamy. the estimate given of
the probable strength of the party
varies with the enthusiasm of the
delegates. Some claiming they will
poll 100000 votes, while those more
sauguine put it high as million.

ENGLISH PRESS COMMENT.

ENGLlSa FhESS COMMENT.
LONDON, July 22.-Henry M. STAN
ley, who resigned as director of the
African International association
work in the Congo country, is ex-
pected to arrive in England Sunday.
The Telegraph says the demonstra-
tion of the trades unions in Hyde park
yesterday, was the most remarkably
imposing one of the kind witnessed
during Victoria's reign. Over 1OOOC
men n.rched in procession with deco.
rum rising to dignity. 1t will not dc
for the press to mock or undervalue
these peaceful, simple methods, or de.
| cry them as paid show.
The Standard says the behavior oi
the people was admirable, but the
demonstration was not charged to the
political situation in the slightest de
gree. The judgment of the silent an6
modest section of the community will
not be affected. The ministry should
concern themselves with the sober
majority who stay at home and think
for themselves, instead of those fol.
lowing brass bands through the streets
and passing resolutions.
A TWO MILLION FIRE.
LONDON, July 22.-The loss from
the great fire Saturday, at Crane
wharf, Wappington, will reach So,
100000. Among the merchandise con.
sumed was 5000 bales of wool, valued
at $4,000; 100000 tons of coffee,
valued at 1856, GOO; 1000 tons of pep
per, third of the entire stock, valued
at $325,000 Besides this, 1850 tons
OF gum tapioco, sugar, shellac seed
and other produce were destroyed.
EGYPTIAN CONFERENCE.
LONDON, July 22.-The Egyptian
conference met to-day at the foreign

ence continued its session only an
hour, when it adjourned sine die. 1t
is considered doubtful whether it will
meet again for long time.

tion many results of valuable and
comprehensive character have been
attained by the republican party since
Its accession to power. In the parti.
Zan warfare made upon the latter
with the view of weakening it in tine
public confidence, a great deal has
been alleged in connection with the
abuse of the civil service, the party
making the indiscriminate charges
seeming to have entirely forgotten
that it was under the full SWAY of the
democratic organization that the
motto "ro the victors belong the
spoils' became cardinal article in
the democratic creed.
The republican party came into ex-
| lstence in a crusade against the demo-
cratic institutions of slavery and poly
gamy. The first of these has been
buried beneath the embers of civil
war. The party should continue its
efforts until the remaining iniqnity
shall disappear from our civilization
under the force of faithfully executed
laws.
Our obligations to the defenders of
our country should never be forgotten,
and the liberal system of pensions
provided by the republican party
should not be imperiled by adverse
legislation. The law establishing
labor bureau, through which the in
terests of labor can be placed in an
organized condition, l regard as
salutary measure. The eight-hour
law should be as rigidly enforced as
any other. We should increase our
navy to degree enabling us to amply
protect our coast lines, our com
merce, and to give us force in for
eign waters which shall be respecta- |
BILE and proper representative of a
country like our own. The public
lands belong to the people, and should |
not be alienated from them, but re-
served for free homes for all desiring
to possess them; and, finally, our pres
ent Indian policy should be continued
and improved upon as our experience
in its administration may from time
to time suggest. 1 have the honor to
subscribe myself, sir,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN A. LOGAN.

10 a. m. in wheat field, the alarm
was instantly telegraphed and tele-
phoned to all available points, aud
1000 men from different sections
rushed to the rescue. The old fastened
prairie way of fighting fire with fire
was resort9d to. After a desperate
effort the fire was controlled. The
streets were filled with men with
schorched faces and singed heads of
hlir. Six thousand acres of grain
and several large dwellings were des-
troyed. Total loss estimated at $3.50,
600; insurance. $4,000.
