A Square Fight on Bet ween the Arthur

Own Schemes.

Special Dispatch TO the Ev ENING STAR
SARATOGA, Sept. 22.-While the rank and
file of the delegates To the republican state con-
vention are still at sea regards the choice for
governor, the wary old party leaders are rap
idly connecting the wires and preparing to
narrow the contest down. A straight fight be-
tween Cornell and Arthur is on. The Cornell
men, led by the willy ex-governor himself are
here in great force and working like. beavers.
They are ostensibly supporting Davenport,
Morton, and other candidates, but have per-
feet understanding that they are to concentrate
on Cornell himself when a favorable oppor-
tunity comes. Cornell is opposed by all of Ar
thurs old followers and by that wing of the
half breed faction led by Senator Warner Miller.
Precisely the same combination that made
Evarts Senator is arrayed against Cornell, and
the men who supported Morton for Senator
rally around Cornell. The candidate of the
Arthur-Miller combination is Cornelius \. Bliss,
the New York dry goods merchant. who has
long been prominent in public affairs IN the
metropolis. He was the head OF the business
mems delegation that went to Chicago for
Arthur last year. Mr.. Bliss is rich, and politi-
cally ambitious. He wrote letter declining TO
be a candidate recently, but has since reconsid-
cred and has come here in person and opened
headquarters at the United States hotel. Had
the New York city delegation at its
caucus last night united on Bliss, his nomi-
lnation would have been altogether probable.
The Arthur men say Cornell does not expect to
be governor, but wants to show enough strength
To get the chairmanShip OF the state committee
ana control the party machinery. The removal
of Chief W eigher Bacon, of the New York Gus
tom-house, is to be noticed i'm the platform
which will use the case To back the declaration
that the administration is untrue % civil SER
vice reform principles.

CHINAMEN RESUME WORK.
A Belief That the Wyoming Mine TrOu
bIeS are at an End.

CHEYENNE, WYo., Sept pa special to the
Leader from Rock Springs says: Work has
been resumed in two of the mines where the re-
cent troubles occurred. About 100 Cinnamon
and a few white men have gone to work, but
the white, as rule, have refused to go back
No attempt has been made to interfere with the
Chinese workmen, the mines being guarded by
troops. On Sunday night one Of the citizens
committee, named Dowell who presented the
case of the miners to Mr.. Bromby and to the
government directors, was busy giving notice
to all the white men who are suspected of a dis
position to resume work, that they must leave
the place within twenty-four hours. Notice
was also given to the deputy sherifs, who were
doing guard duty at the mines, that they must
quit. Another member OF the citizens COM
mittee, named Hoyt, who was most conspic-
uOuS in the management of the miners case,
has lett town. The miners still hope they will
be supported by the Knights of Labor, but the
members of that organization in the employ of
the company are free in their denunciations OF
the whole business, and assert their confidence
that q strike will be confined to the miners
The railroad officials here say that they will
have no difficulty in procuring the services Of
white miners. A little time will be reaui red
to bring them here, but officers are confident
that before long the mines will be running with
a full force as before the outbreak. The Chinese
cOnsuls are still pursuing their Investigations
and will probably remain through the week
Gen. Scofield and staff are expected at Rock
Springs this morning.

DELEGATES STILL AT SEA,
The Saratoga Convention Opening
without Definite Indications Of What
the Outcome Will Re-


the Outcome Will BE.
SARATOGA, y. ", Sept. 22.-The morning
opened with bright sunshine and at an early
hour the corridors of the leading hotels pre-.
scented animated scene. The republican
state convention will assemble i'm the Casino at
II O'Clock. The indications point to a very
lively contest. The upper county men are
growing more and more deliberate In their de-
termination TO make short work of the
convention. Were il possible for the
New York city men to join hands upon
candidate this morning before going into
convention there is no doubt that an upper
county man would secure the nomination for
governor with hurrah. But all hope of this
situation is a decidedly mixed one. There will
probably be dozen candidates placed in nom-
lnaton for governor, after the permanent or
ganiZation of the convention, and an informal
ballot taken, followed by an adjournment until
tonight or tomorrow morning. During the in
respective members will be interchanged, and
the best available candidate decided on as soon
as possible.
Immediately after breakfast the various dele
cations were called together and conferences
formal and informal, were held at head
quarters. The friends of the candidates as q
rule, strongly Endorsed their respective favor
toward the place of meeting OF the convention
the Casino. a skating rink of imposing dimen-
SiOnS. Telegraph facilities are meager. As the
hour of opening the convention approached
spectators began to arrive. The front seats
were soon filled with visitors from the hotels
including large number of ladies. The ticket
to be nominated comprises the offices of gov
ernor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state,
controller, attorney general, treasurer and
state engineer and surveyor.

Looking After the Offices.

NOT MUCH OF MISREPRESENTATION TO
THE FRONT JUST NOW.
There are very few members of Congress in
the city at present, and the pressure for Office
Is comparatively light. The rush that was
expected on the return of the President was not
made, and Mr.. Cleveland and his cabinet have
had tolerably plain sailing. The New York.
Ohio and Virginia politicians are too much
occupied by the more important political work
at home. A politician who came from Ohio the
other day says the prospects are for a campaign
there almost as hot as that last fall.
Pennsylvania is the most prominent figure in
the field just now. A good portion of the dele.
The local appointments the most important OF
which are the Philadelphia marshalship and
pOstmastership. Representatives Curtin, Ran
dali, Ermantrout, and Scott of Erie are here
and expect to have the appointments made at
once,

THE CASE OF SUPERINTENDENT DONOVAN.
Postmaster General Villas is looking into the
case OF Donovan, the superintendent of the free
delivery system at Chicago, who was few
days ago elected president OF the Young De-
mocracy of that city. Donovan's friends claim
that the club is social, not political, but the
contrary is generally understood to be the case,
and II the popular opinion that the club is a
political organization Is correct, Mr.. Villas will
hold that 1t is a violation of the civil service
dent. He is very much annoyed by the Incl
dent, and will probably inform Mr.. Donovan
that he will either have to resign the presidency
OF the club or his position in the post office:

Curious Claim Of . Soldier.

1T Is SUSPENDED AT THE TREASURY.
The acting second controller of the Treasury
has suspended q curious claim which was
brought before him the other day. The case is
that of man who claims bounty and pay as a
soldier during nearly the entire war. He al
leges that he started out in 1862 to join q GER
tain regiment he had decided to enlist in, and
on his way, just before he reached the camp, he
was captured and made prisoner of war by q
scouting party. He was taken to o confederate
prison, he says, and detained there as q pris-
oner until q few weeks before the close of the
war, when he got away and did about two
weeks actual service in the federal army. He
claims that, as q prisoner Of war, he was serv-
ing the government, and that he ought to be
paid from the date he intended to join his regi-
ment. or course, the muster-roll Of the regi-
ment does not contain his name, as he never
actually enlisted; but, moreover, his name, 1t is
said, cannot be found on the records Of the con-
federate prison. His case was such, however,
as to convince Congress of its merits, all his
statements being fully supported by aftidavits
and testimony Of persons who were familiar
with the circumstances, and q bill was passed
restoring his name to the muster-roll back to
1868 The bill failed, however. to fix his status
or provide that he should be paid. Conse-
quently the claimant will probably not get his
money until another bill is passed for his
benefit

Disastrous Rains.
THE TEXAS COTTON CROP DAMAGED SEVERAL



GALVESTON, Ten, Sept 22.-Reports are com.
ing from the cotton belt districts of Tie show.
ing that the heavy rains of the past week have
worked serious damage to the standing cotton.
The northern portion of the state was not so Sc
riously affected the central, southwestern
and eastern sections. The damaged area In
quite as large the states OF New York and
Pennsylvania combined, and comprises the
most valuable portions OF the Texas cotton
belts The most disastrous rains occurred I'm
the middle OF the cotton picking season, and re-
ports indicate that thousands of acres have
gone to waste for want of gathering, IL being
impossible to pick cotton while wet On ac-
count OF the damage caused by the rain IL is
estimated that two-thrds OF the Texas crop this
season will grade low middling, whereas
about one-third is the usual average for low
middling. No accurate estimates have vet
been made, but experts all agree that the dam
age to cotton by waste and destruction and
lowering of grade will reach several million OF
dollars

THE CRITIC CASE.
The Answer OF the Trustees to Mr..

The case of Helm against the Critic Company

filed some weeks since, was this morning called
before Judge Hagner. The answer of defend
ants was filed, with the exception of that of Mr..
Hutchins, who is not in the city, and has not
been served with the process.
Messrs. Kilbourn Towers and Sylvester in
their answer, claim that the court has ojurisdic-
ton to appoint receiver. They state that there
are eight Of the 100 shares of the corporation
held in the name of the complainant, and deny
that Hutchins is a stakeholder. They assert
capital Of $4,000, E. NJ. Hack, the foreman,
owning five shares, which, with Helms eight
shares. constitute the remainder. They deny
Helms employment at the time defendant pur-
only relation to the concern is that of a land
lord. They admit the agreement to hold T. J.
Brady harmless for the debts of the company
not to exceed $4,000. They admit that they
changed the name from the Evening Critic to
Washington Critic, but not the name of the cor
poratiOn. They admit that some of the indebt-
edness has not been paid including the note of
Brady as secretary and treasurer.
They also file affidavits that Brady, on April
6th for satisfactory consideration, delivered to
them so of the 100 shares of stock. to which
