ST. JOSEPH, Mo, June l2.-The cleo
ton of Directors of the St. Joseph q
Western railway took place to-day at
West St. Joseph, Kansas. The Union
Pacific interest and Benedict party were
equal in the number ofshares represented,
the former polling II, 1000, and the latter
about 1900. BY a mutual. understand
ing the following directors were chosen,
making about an equal division between
the two interests: Sidney Dillon, New
York; Frederick L. Ames, Elisha Atkins,
Ezra II. Baker, +. Gordon Dexter, Henry
Mcfarland, Charles F. Adams, Boston;
James H. Benedict, Francis w. Williams,
James C. Parrish. William C.. Strauss,
all of New York; Felix Benedict, of Con-
necticut, and S. r. Winslow, of St.
Joseph. The only appearance of feeling
at the meeting was when a protest was
filed by John S. Stanton, of New York,
against voting the $4,000 shares Of stock
held by Sidney Dillon, which he claimed
were illegally issued by the Union Pacific
company for the purpose of the Hastings
< Grand Island extension. Mr.. Stanton
claims this line was built by the St. Joseph
& Western company and paid Tor out of
its treasury. Hence, as it has always
owned it, it could never have purchased it.

New YORK, June l2.-WaT Street is
flooded with unfavoruble rumors. 1t was
reported that the First National Bank of
Cleveland had suspended, but adviccs
state that the institution is doing business
as usual. 1t is rumored hat government
experts had discovered a deficiency of
800, 600. 900 in the Union Pacific sinking
fund and the money was used to sustain
the market value of the stock.
President Dillon states the company
has done nothing whatever in stocks and
not a dollar has been used for such pur.
poses. These reports have made the
market weak and feverish and prices have
declined sharply, but subsequently the

KY WEST, Fla, june Upon the
arrival of the Mallory steamer late last
night from New York, FREDERICK Gil
Mnrrero was arrested on the charge Of
having explosives in his possession, upon
affidavit of the United States District At
torney. Since the quarantine season the
Mallory steamers have not come to the
wharf, but anchor at the quarantine
ground. The passengers and freight are
brought ashore in boats, and upon Mare
70 steppinginto the boat he was arrested by
the United States Marshal undera warrant
from United States Commissioner Locke
and lodged in jail. Information was pro
badly received from the officials in New
York. MarrerO is a resident of Key
West. He went to New York a few
weeks ago, and his mission was evidcnly
known through detectives Upon search
ing his baggage the officials found
a fuse, decorating cups and books
of instruction upon the manu-
tacture of dynamite. The articles
were submitted to an expert officer of the
frigate Galcna, and the conclusions ar
rived at were that Marrero had materials
and instructions for making dynamite and
such articles as could not be made here.
The vigilance of the officials doubtless
caused the dynamiters to import separate

How Shall the Votes be Countedp

@O" StAoAA ~ ONSD 70
WASHINGTON, June l2.-During the
consideration of the electoral bill in the
House, Mr.. Eaton said he would briefly
review the House bill and then yield the
floor to his colleagues on the committee.
Mr., Hiscock inquired whether the de.
bate would continue tomorrow.
Mr.. Eaton replied hat it was one ofthe
most important measures which would
come before Congress, and he hoped it
would be considered. But if there was
anything Of more Importance which the
House wished to discuss, he supposedly
bill would be laid over and the House
would proceed to build a court
house somewhere. But if there
should be another strain like Il a Of
1877 there might not be any necessity for
court houses. Good order and peace de-
manded that the House should take action
ON this question. He then. enumerated
the methods proposed for counting the
electoral votes, and said he had subscrib-
ed his name to the bill of the House com
mittee, but in so doing had cast aside his
own convictions Of constitutional law. He
believed that under the constitution the
House of Representatives to-day. had the
sole power to count the electoral votes.
He made a short constitutional argument
against the provisions of the Senate bill
but was interrupted By Mr.. Browne, of
Indiana. who raised a similar objection
against the House bill.
Mr.. Eaton said that he was not welded
to the House bill. He saw one way out
Of the difficulty and that was by a per cap
tia vote for President and Vice President.
Gentlemen might say that was not right
because one party would always be in the
majority in Congress, but he believed,
however, in the integrity of mankind, and
thought there were honest men in Con
gress, in both parties, whom he could
trust.
Mr.. Browne said the most dangerous
tribunal in which to settle a great contro.
versy of the presidential election was the
Congress Of the United States. So help
him God, he would rather try it before a
justice of the peace and a country jury.
Aftersome further de sultory discussion,
Mr., Pryor, of Alabama delivered a care,
fully prepared speech in favor of the
House bill, addressing himselfto historical
| legal and constitutional points involved
Before he had concluded the House
adjourned.
