CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

WASHINGTON, June ,24.-It is reported
that two great railway magnates, one of
whom is man whose name is q synonym
for shrewdness and cunning. have each
agreed TO furnish 100000 to the Blaine
campaign fund, and other smaller capital
lists have offered their assistance in sums
in the same proportion to their wealth.
until 81, 100000 have been promised The
reason for this most unexpected liberality
Is that the two great capitalists are the
main proprietors of lines of railway run
way running through Texas to the south
ward. and if Mr.. Blaine is elected his
foreign policy will very much stimulate
the business of these roads, both in
freight and passengers. Any attempt to
rectify the frontier between the United
States and Mexico would very greatly
increase the business of all lines crossing
that frontier. because there would be an
enormous transportation of troops, sup.
plies. aud other material necessary 10 a

rsiifoad proprietors could easily enough

WASHINGTON LETTER.

IRON our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c.. June 20, 1884.
| begin to think that it will make but
very little difference who the Democratic
nominee at Chicago win be, or where he
comes from, for he is going to be elected
anyway. The revolt against Blaine and
Logan has already in two weeks after
the nominations penetrated every por-
ton of the country, and evoked from the
decent portion of the grand old party
universal cry for change There
was not among the bakers dozen of
Republican Candidates before the Chicago
convention. any one .man so positively
bad as Blame, yet there would have been
open and bold rebellion against the select
ion of the best of them, because of the
old feud which has finally effected a hope
less disruption of the party. Granting
that New York cannot agree upon the
presentation of a candidate, there seems
to be sentiment enough outside of the
Empire State To make IA selection for her
and the choice cannot hut fail upon Gov
erner Cleveland, who, next to Tilden,
stands for all that is to be sought in the
way of reformation of our political
methods.
suppose that John Logan's military
record is not to be questioned, and don't
know that anybody desires to question it.
but in these piping times of peace we nat
urally inquife something about the record
of men who arrogate to themselves a
claim to leadership in civil affairs. Logan
had no sooner entered into public life
than he began to precipitate his family
and friends upon the public exchequer,
and his family WAS the largest that has
been know since the DAYS of Maccabeus.
He has quartered upon the military and
civil list horde of political cormorauts
larger than any Senstor or Representative
was ever responsible for before, and
has adroitly cultivated the friendship of
each succeeding administration to the
extent of retaining the patronage not
only of his State but of the whole North
west, wherein he has made places for
that neverto be satiated host of place
seekers nestled in the ranks OF the G. 4. r.
1t is with this most unsavory record that
Logan now goes before the people of this
great country asking to be given the Sc
cOnd highest position in the Government
in which the opportunities of an increased
patronage are the sole Inducements for
his ready acceptance of the nomina ion.
1t is possible, though not at all proba-
BILE, that Congress will adjourn in the
early part of July. Should the House al
once take up the business that the Senate
has prepared for it, and which has been
on the Speakers table for six weeks, il
can rush it through and adjourn by thai
time But there seems to be disposition

sentatiyes to await the action of the com

SENSATION IN LONDON.
A ssLady,s Maid'' Turns Out TO be a.
Ladyss Man.

LONDON, June %. Vanity Fair contains
startling sensation involving a scandalcns
charge against a lady of title and high social
standing According to Vanity Fair, a
young person who has been in the LADY, en-
ploy as confidential lady's maid has been
discovered by the police to have
been practicing shameless de-
ception. The newspaper does not
venture to divulge the lady's name, but
refers all inquiries to the police. This
public reference to scandal which has for
several days past been whispered about in
the clubs is expected to cause commotion
in Belgravia. The story is told in much
greater detail by a well-known detective,
who is engaged exclusively upon what are
known as society cases. According to this
authority, the lady's maid was modest-ap-
pearing and demure young person, who
seemed to give great satisfaction to tie lady,
but who never mixed with the other servants,
and was regarded by them as super
cillious and disagreeable. An upper
housemaid of the lady's household. whoes-
pecially disliked the lady's maid, had for her
beau very intelligent member of the police
force, and she tod him of her dislike for her
fellow servant. This led the constable to
take particular notice of the privileged maid.
He soon observed little peculiarfties in her
manner and bearing that led him to believe
that masquerade was in progress, and that,
in fact, the maid was man. The policeman
at once jumped to the conclusion that the
young man had gained access to the lady's
household for the purpose of robbery, and
was biding his time to leave with the jewel
cases The officer reported his suspicion and
theory to his superiors and was instructed to
follow up the case and obtain conclusive evil
dence as to the suspected persons sex. He
soon found abundant proof that his suspic-
ions were correct and made haste to inform
the lady that the person whom she had har-
Bored as a confidential maid was in fact
young man. 1t is stated that the Jealous
policeman never felt so cheap and Hire
warded in his life as when he saw that
his startling intelligence was received
with neither horror nor surprise, nor even
with thanks. The lady's manner crushed
him with the conviction that he told her no
news, and that he had done an exceedingly
imprudent thing in presuming to enlighten
her concerning the affairs OF her own house
hold He retreated abashel. If the detec-
tive's belief is welI-founded the motive of tie
explicable mystery to all but herself, and
perhaps the maid" 1t is stated that the
young man will be pensioned off by the lady's

NEW York, June 23.-W. C. Rhinelander,
who shot John Drake, the lawyer, at his
office in Cedar street, has been arrested and
locked up When asked why he shot Drake
he said: 9That man has been too attentive

friends"
Rhinelander's wife was Miss Maggie Nc
Ginnis, daughter of an Irish laboref. By
marrying her he forfeited $500, 200. Miss
McGinnis was outside the pale of upper
tendon, and the proud Rhinelanders
were shocked at the marriage, and since
that time the skeleton in the Rhinelander
closet has been the elder son and his wife.
The mansion in Forty-eighth street has never

Rhinelander, the father, allowed his disin-
