w. A. Cook Charged with WrongfulIy Ac-
cepting Money from Contractor.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-Charles D. Coleman,
an attorney of Plymouth, Mich, in his testi-
mony before the committee investigating the
star-route trials, said that William A. Cook,
one of the government counsel in the prosecu-
ton, accepted several hundred dollars to prevent
the indictment of Dr. Colgrove, star-route
contractor. DR.. Colgrove, the witress said, was
interested in number of routes, and was inno-
cent of any fraudulent action, but preferred
paying out money to prevent the indictment
rather than have the notoriety which would
have ensued had bill been found The negoti-
ations, Coleman said, were conducted through
Mr., Cole a partner of Cook. The witness CON
tinued: Il went to Cole and conferred with him
upon the subject He told me he thought
he could aid DR.. Colgrove, and l
saw him go from the room in
which we were into an adjoining room and
have conference with Cook He came back
and informed me that he would be able to help
the Doctor, and he would want, in the first
place, $780, but he afterwards got, 1 think, $3.50
Cole told me he got the money, and he also told
me he divided with Cook"
WAS it at the time when Cook was in the
government serviceW asked Mr.. Springer.
Yes, sir. 1t was during President Garields
sickness at Elberon"

LONDON, June 10-The Pal Mall Gazette
reiterates the belief that the account published

ment upon which the Egyptian conference will
be based, recently made by Granville and Wad-
dington is substantially accurate. 1t says:
when further concealment would have been
fatal to the existence of the Ministry, we felt
compelled to publish the scheme, at which the
whole nation now stands aghast The lame and
labored denial of the News amounts to mutual
admission of the truth of our revelation. How
ever inaccurate it may be in detail, every mem
Der of the Cabinet knows it is correct at least in
regard to the proposed English loan of fS 000 600
to the Khedive. All the jugglery and elfdecep-
ton of the governments protests will not affect
the simple fact that England is to be in o
permanent minority the board of audit
Our French colleagues make no secret of their
determination to convert the board of audit into
etfectual control. The Ministers know this is
true, and the only way for the government to
proong its existence is to sacrifice this agree
ment'
Persons informed as to what is going on in par
hamentary circles predict change of government
within three weeks if the statement of the Pail
Mall Gazette proves true. The government has no
chance If 1t attempts to carry out such an agree
ment with France. 1t will then resign, and the
Conservatives will continue the government until

WASHINGTON June l0.-There has been some
lively work done here in the way of making
presidential and vice-presidential candidates for
the Democracy since ex-senator Mcdonald ar
rived yesterday morning 1t was quick work,
too, for he departed for Indiana in the afternoon,
and expressed his pleasure over the result before
quitting Washington. Many reports have been
in circulation all day regarding what was being
done for Mcdonald. He is very popular here,
and great interest is taken in his campaign.
This afternoon he went to the Capitol, and was
in Speaker Carlsle's room, in private converse
ton, upwards of an hour. Their talk
was upon many propositions that
have been submitted to combine names
with McDonald's upon the ticket. 1t is under
stood that most of the combinations proposed
put Mcdonald down for second place, and he
steadily and persistenty refused such an honor.
He wants first place. and his friends demand it.
1t had been proposed, for instance, that General
Slocum, of New York, who won some distinction
in the House recently by advocating the Fitz
John Porter bill, should have the first place and
Mcdonald second. This was refused. Slocum
at first declined to consent to accept second place
on the ticket, but finally succumbed, and after
assuring McDonalda and his friends that he would
do what he could to secure their
nomination, got ten days leave
of absence and started to his home in Brooklyn
this evening. 1t is stated that this was brought
about by Speaker Carlisle, who has promised to
go to Chicago'and work for Mcdonald and Slocum,
believing that they would be the strongest men
in New York, Ohio, Indiana, and on the Pacific
slope, to be found.
Senator Bayard, of Delaware, has not been
mentioned to-day for presidential honors His
cold. selfish manner has kept him aloof from
those whom he might have won as personal
friends and who would be of service now and
there's no one to boom him. Then, there
has been so much said about his
secession speeches before the war that
it is believed they would ruin the ticket if he
was nominated. Siocum is member of Con
gress from the State of New York at large and
is said to be able to perfect a splendid organiza
ton in the State of New York. If Tilden does
not oppose Mcdonald, it looks now as though
his road TO the nomination is clearer than that
of any other candidate. His boom has been
given new impetus and the most decided life it
has ever had, for actual work will now begin for
him.

In the West and Northwest.

CHICAGO, June 10-WidelY extended crop re-
ports received by the Farmers Review show no
material change in winter wheat since last re-
port, except that the general condition is not as
good. The weather has been excellent for spring
wheat. In Minnesota all counties report wheat
looking finely with the exception of one or two
counties where the average yield, tits estimated
will fall below that of last year. Reports from
Nebraska indicate only the average prospect for
wheat and corn A majority of the Ohio re
ports are not such as to indicate anything more
than fair wheat crop. Indiana has promise of
an average crop, except in the Southern portion
of the State where the outlook is gloomy. The
same is true of Illinois Iowa reports good
wheat and corn prospects, and the wheat yield
in Kansas promises to be very large. The
wheat prospects in Kentucky are not as promis-
ing as one year ago. In Missouri an average
crop is predicted. Farmers generally are deliv
ering surplus stocks of wheat and corn freely.

Why He Left Chicago, and Who Advised
Him to Do So.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 10-This evenings Critic
says:
"The action of Senator Ben Harrison, in eav-
ing the Chicago convention at the time he did,
has been considerably critici sed by many news
papers. A gentleman from Indiana and one
who attended the convention, made statement
of the matter to Critic reporter this morning.
to the effect that Senator Harrison did not send
for his alternate to come to Chicago until advised
to do so, not alone by members of the Indiana
delegation, but by others high up in the party's
councils-such men as Henry Cabot Lodge, Sen
ator Sewell, Senator Platt, of Connecticut; Sen
ator Plumb. of Kansas, and Theodore Roosevelt,
supporters of Edmunds He said these men
were the cause of Senator Harrison leaving. A
gentleman told him that in case it was found
that Senator Edmunds could not win they would
spring his (Harrison's) name on the convention.
They told him that it would be manifestly indel-
icate for him to remain as a delegate when his
name would be placed before the convention"

Decorating Dinner Plates.

Washington Correspondence Boston Courier.
The wife of Senator Harrison, of Indiana, has
decorated eighteen china dinner plates in novel
manner, which was wholly her own idea On
each she has painted bird of adifferent species
and on the border of the plate verse in old
English text of poetry written by one of the
best authors about that particular kind of bird
This not only has the merit of originality, and
so excites the interest and admiration of those
who see the plates but has the further advan-
tage, as every verse is one which has been little
quoted of suggesting topics of conversation at a
dinner party when the plates are used, which is
always an inestimable boon on such occasions
Mrs Harrison says she was surprised to find
how much good poetry had been written about
birds which alluded to or described so many
different species. She says she found verses
enough to serve for another dozen plates entire
ly different from those she has finished.
