THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.
MIR. STEVENS TELLS WHY
CLEVELAND WILL WIN.

An Army of OfhcehOIders Turns Out at
Washington to Shout for Logan and
be Bored With Speeches - Blaine
Formally Notified of His Nomination.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-Representa-
tive Stevens. of New York, was dele
gate from his county to the late Saratoga
Convention and was chosen by the latter
a delegate to Chicago. He was for Flower
when he went to Saratoga, but he is now
for Cleveland. In conversation with a
reporter Mr.. Stevens said; 81 am salts
fed that Cleveland is the only man whom
our delegation can harmonic upon, and
that he viii be the choice Of the delega-
ton. When | went to Saratoga / was
afraid that he could not unite the differ
ent party elements, and, failing in that,
that he would be beaten. Now / am sat
isfied that he would receive the sup
port of the entire party, and | am
sure that he could carry the State"
MIR. Stevens believes that majority of
the delegation now favor Cleveland, and
t4at when it comes to making a selection
70 present at Chicago that the Governor
Will nave more votes than now. He was
asked about the report that the Cleveland
movement is in the interest of Payne, and
tbat dispatch was sent from Saratoga to
the Ohio Senator-elect assuring HIM that
the New York delegation would be for
him.
''Ii any such dispatch was sent,7 said
Mr.. Stevens, sit had reference to Mr..
Payne for Vice President. The talk
of the Cleveland movement being
an ambush for a Payne boom is absurd.
Why, if Cleveland's friends believed him
capable of such duplicity they would
drop him instantly. l know delegates
who are heartily for Cleveland, but they
would quit him in disgust if they sup
posed he was scheming to nominate Payne
or any man except himself" Mr.. Stevens
is for Cleveland and Morrison.

THE MAIL LOBBY ROUTED.

Shipping Bill.

Significance of Congress- Action on the
Shipping Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-The Dingle ey
shipping bill, as agreed upon by the con-
ference committee, passed both houses
without objection to-day. AS passed, it
contains the original provisions of the
Dingley bill, with a provision which
formed the basis for the compromise with
the friends of the postal subsidy in the
conference committee, to the effect that
the law requiring all vessels in the for
eign carrying trade to carry the United
States mails whenever so requested by
the Post Office Department, shall be re-
pealed after April 1, 1885. The
free ship and the postal sub
sidy propositions were both dropped
was doomed from the first, but the Pacific
Mail lobby, who had had the bill con-
stantly in view ever since it was Origi-
nally introduced, were very much disap-
pointed by the adverse action of the
conference committee ON their PROPOSE
tiOn. They tried to claim that they had
won a substantial victory in getting the
provision for the repeal of the law COM
pelling vessels in the Pacific trade to
carry the United States mails. This is
ridiculous assumption. The provision
referred to amounts to just nothing at all.
1t does not go into effect until April, 1885:
meanwhile Congress sits, and the Post
master General will make recommended
tiOns about new arrangement for the
ocean mails, upon which Congress will
act. The fact is the Pacific Mail lobby
was routed.

Of natural history, received a year ago,

Snowman. The museum will hereafter be
known as the Barnum Museum. In a
letter from Mr.. Barnum, read to-day, he
says:
Il have always declared that l took
more pleasure in paying my school taxes
than any other, for education often tends
to lessen vice and crime, as well as to
secure to its recipients honor and success.
may be pardOned, Mr.. President, if on
this occasion l assert that my interest in
the higher education Of the day has ever
been constant and profound. Had my
earlier advantages been greater
might have achieved more; but looking
back on a long and eventful career,
confess, in no bOasting vein. that / have
cOnscientiously labOred to elevate and en-
noble public amusement, which play no
small part among the educational agen-
cies of the times. How successful have
been in blending healthful and moral in
structiOn with recreation it is not for me
to state, but the satisfaction experienced
in my life work has been in itself re-
ward altogether apart from, and superior
to, any golden harvest may have reaped.
Not that / am insensible to the latter, for
il is because of il that / am able, under
the providence Of a good father, who has
helped me all my life, to do somewhat for
Tufts in the foundation of the Barnum
Museum of natural history. l am happy
in the thought thas this museum win be

Irish Leaders at Chicago RidicuIe

| Irish Leaders at Chicago RidicuIe the
Proposed War from the Clouds.
CHICAGO, June 21.-Irishmen inter.
viewed here upon the proposed armed
movement upon England, including the
use Of balloons from which to drop dyna.
mite upon the cities, as outlined in the ca
bic dispatches yesterday, ridicule the
proposition in every possible way. John
f. Scanlan summed the dispatch up by de-
claring: "lt is evident that some
Milesian Munchausen is having a beap of
fun on the other side." Col. Daniel
O'Sullivan, who was Secretary for Ameri-
ca OF the 1867 movement, said that no
sane Irishman believes in an armed in
vasion. The futility of such efforts have
been satisfactorily demonstrated; besides.
Mr.. stephens had announced himself as
opposed to the dynamite policy, and could
not have originated the plan.
Patrick Crow, of Peoria, said that Mr..
Stephens once had an opportunity to lead
an armed rebellion but proved a coward
and ran to save his own neck. He de-
clared, however, that a mass meeting of
Irishmen would be held in this city dur
ing the Democratic Convention to raise
money for dynamite.
L. V. Darcy thought that balloons
would cut sorry figure when the balloons
were being riddled with shot by the
earthly residents of England.
PAY FOR NATIONALIsTs IN PARLIA-
MENT.
LONDON, June 21.-The Irish National
lists are still agitating the question of
providing fund out of Which regular
salary of $500 per year may be paid rO the
Nationalist members of the House of Com
mons.
This matter will be prominent subject
for discussion at the general convention
of the party, which will be held in Dublin
in the autumn.
AN IRISH SUSPECT ARRESTED.
Patrick Joyce, native of Galway, was
arrested at Queenstown to-day on the
steamer Illinois from Philadelphia. A
brass tube, two inches wide and four
inches in diameter, was found in his bag
gage. The ends OF the tube were well Sc
cured; and he refused to open them.
Joyce was remanded by the Magistrate
until Monday.
o'BREN REFUSES TO PAY.
DUBLIN, June 21.-Wm. O'Brien, mem
Der of Parliament and editor of United
ireland, who has Just been fined $500 for
contempt of court, and who refuses to pay
his fine, is declining private offers to pay
the same. He says that he is determined
to expose the manner in which the gov
ernment of Ireland is conducted by Earl
Spencer and Premier Gladstone.
wEsTMEATH MURDERERs SENTENCED.

Stronger Evidence Needed to Secure
His ExtraditiOn from Canada.
QUEBEC, June 21.-John G. Eno's case
was resumed before Judge Carson this
morning, Mr.. Allan, an accountant, who
commenced his evidence yesterday, being
still under examination. So far the prose-
cutiOn seem to have proved nothing
beyond the fact that Mr.. Emo had, in his
capacity as President of the Second
National Bank Of New York, signed and
issued checks, the funds of which were
diverted to other sources than legitimate
business of the bank. There is nothing of
an eXtraditable character IN such acts.
There was one piece of damaging
evidence offered, but rejected as being
only heaTsay, and that was that Mr.. Emo
had issued some of this paper after
he had ceased to be President of the
bank. The witness left tonight for New
York. The court will meet on Monday to
examine Mr.. Roberts, cashier of the
bank. The general impression amongst
lawyers here is that Emo cannot be extra

How Peyton, the Giynn County Muir
derer, Feels Under His New Lease of
Life.
When Peyton, the Glynn county muir
derer, learned yesterday that the MORN
ING NEWS had received a telegram fro
Brunswick announcing that a motion for
a new trial had been made in his case, with
a probability that the case would be taken
to the Supreme Court, he was surprised.
He expressed his gratitude to his attor-
neys, but at the same time be said he was
ready to suffer death, having made his
peace with God.
A MORNING NEWS reporter was
informed by Sheriff Roman last
night that no official notifica-
tiOn Of the action Of Judge MershOn had
been received at the jail, and that all he
knew Of the failure to carry the sentence
into execution was learned through the
columns of the MORNING News. 1t is
understood from Atlanta that when Gov
Mcdaniel heard that the sentence had
not been executed he was astOnished. He
had not granted a reprieve, and so far as
he knew there was no means by which
the courts could have interfered. The
State, in the meantime, waits for a report
from the Sheriff.

NEW YORK, June 21.-Commodore Gar
rison's friends say that there win be an
ample surplus after all his Indebtedness
has been liquidated. He is very old and
much broken in health. His wealth has
been estimated by common report at $751;
0OO,OO to $50, 600. 900.
Melville &. Day, legal adviser of Com
modore Garrison, who made an assign
ment yesterday, said to-day: ''The advice
which caused him to suspend was given
by me and all those familiar with his
affairs and with their concurrent advice.
A storm was upon him and he could not
weather it. His securities were unavail-
able, and to hold out would have resulted
in a complete wreck, to the detriment of
the creditors and everybody else. The
statement in reference to his having ap-
piled to Mr.. Vanderbilt and ID. o. Mills to
assist him is untrue. The existence of
suits have nothing directly or in
directly to do with his assignment. The
fact of the existence of these suits was lost
sight of during the excitement by reason
of peculiar embarrassments which re-
uuired immediate attention. They did
not enter into the discussion at all when
it was decided to make an assignment.
The assets and liabilities depend on time
and negotiations. The assignee may not
be able to sell certain of the securities
that, while they are intrinsically valuable,
yet may have no fixed market value. /
presume that man with the ability and
financial connection of Mr.. j. D..
Terry, the assignee, may be able
to make negotiations which
will resnlt in obtaining something
approximating the real value of these Sc
curities, but if they be sold without such
negotiations, as is very often done by the
receivers of insolyent estates, the result
might be to the disparagement of the
realization of the property" Commo-
dore Garrison was at his Office early to-
day but refused to be. seen. Clerks say
he is very feeble and much distressed in
mind, and cannot admit many friends to

The Charleston and Savannah Railway
Company has decided to remove the old

is too near the eastern shore, and cOnse-
quently unfavOrable to the navigation Of

Parade and Hear Speeches.

Parade and Hear Speeches.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-The ex-sol-
diers and sailors resident in Washington
serenaded Gen. Logan this evening. They
assembled at the City Hall, forming in
platoons of u, marching, headed by the
Marine Bandit to MIR. Logan's residence on
Twelfth street, where a crowd of 5000
citizens had already assembled. The pro-
cession was literally supplied with BAN
ners, rockets, Roman candles, and noise
making devices. The banner of the Army
of the Tennessee was displayed from an
upper window of Gen. LOgan's house.
General Logan's appearance was
greeted with storm of cheers. When the
applause had subsided he was introduced
in brief by Gen. Green B. Raum. Gen.
Logan's speech was frequently inter-
rupted with applause, particularly en-
thusiastlc at his reference to our united
country, greater, grander than before,
the mission of the Republican party to
preserve peace with foreign nations and
make our flag everywhere respected, and
to Blaine as the standard bearer of the
party. The speech making was continued
to late hour. Among the orators, who
were all eX-sOldiers, were Senators Plumb
and Representatives Harrison, Cutchen of
Michigan, Goff of West Virginia, Petit
bone of Tennessee, and Bayne of Pennsyl-
Vania.
