NEW York, August 13th-The par ,ers this
morning print quite lengthy OBJ Charles of
James W Marshall. The Trib7 me and Uer-
aid have editorial comments. The Tribln.
says There is something melanchoIv
about the story. The C.reat, wealthy State
of California owed it % herself To nrotect
James w. Marshall nom want at least and
testify III some wf.g her recognition of the
service he had done the Commonwealth
and the world, while the fact that this serv-
Ice resulted in his own ruin ought TO have
qulckened the States sense of Justice and
llberaGty. But the same indifference which
he's left every trace of the Old mill-race at
Coloma to perish, and has grudged a mon
ument to record the source of the golden
stream which flowed so long and splendid
~, refused assistance to the declining years
of the discoyerer. So he has passed away.
Enough
The Herald presents a lively picture of
Marshall's discovery, which it saws was in
February, near the town of Coloma, where
three men-one of them Marshall-were
repairing damages caused by freshet,
when MarShalPs daughter found pretty
stone. That was the nugget which reused
the astonlshment if not the avarice of the
world. The secret could not be kept, and
found its way East. Lawyers without
briefs, physicians without patients minis
tiers without sermons, or sermons so poor
that no one would listen to them together
with thousands eager To mend their
fortunes, including thieves of every posi-
bic grade, poured into the country.
The Sam has tho familiar ,-,rs;o,, ,f - lao
| discovery varied by more inaccurate de-
tails.
PARALLEL CASE.
PHILADELPHIA, August 18th. - Under
date of Placerville August 18th, the Times
prints full and accurate account of Mar
shalls discovery. 1t says editorially The
history OF Colonel Drake, the discoverer OF
OIL in our own State, furnishes parallel
| case, discovery to the enrichment of thou
sands of others, and to the development of
an industry which in a single quarter of a
century has arisen from nothing to the an.
nual value of not less than $4,000 900
Drake secured nothing from it, and would
have died a pauper but for a pension OF
$500 a year paid him by the State for the
last few years of his life
ClevelaDd's Cincinnati Letter-Who was
the Man Referred to?
WASHINGTON, August 13th.-There is still
great deal of curiosity as to the person
who was the other party to the correspond
ence which was recently published, in
which the President SO emphaticallv
blamed some one for making an insincere
| recommendation of man to Territorial
Judgeship. Although it has been published
that Don. NJ. Dickinson was the man, this
is not believed and it is Indignantly de-
MED by his friends. Mr. Dickinson is a
| man OF high character, a shrcwd politician,
and would certainly not have been so
stupid as to have made such a confession as
was disclosed in the letter published. He
has enjoyed the confidence of President
Cleveland, and has had more influence
with the Executive than any man in Mich
igan. Expert politicians, after examining
all the circumstances, have come to the
conclusion that the Judge referred to is L.
J. Dawne, of Oregon, who was appointed
United States Judge for the Territory of
Alaska on July 3lst, and that the person
who wrote the letter to which the President
replied was Senator Slater, of Oregon.

New YORK, August 13th.-Oficials OF
both the Northern Pacific and the Chicago.
Rock Island Pacific denied this morning 5
reports from Chicago that the controlling
interest in the former road had been Sc
cured by the latter. Second Vice President
James b. Williams Of the Northern Pacific.

inquiry II don't care to saw anything
about it. one way or the other Being
asked either to affirm or deny it, he said +:
suppose we would know if a purchase
| of that kind had taken place. My impress
sion is that the story is made out of whole
cloth" A prominent Wall-street railroad
man said This report has created in
tense excitement in railroad circles, but it
it is not generally credited think it more
than probable the Grand Trunk Railway is
trying to get contrOlof the Northern Pa
| cific, as sort of countermarch against its
great rival. the Canadian Pacific Although
the Grand Trunk itself is but poor paying
enterprise, ii has command of unlimited
| money in London and was only little too
slow in its negotiations for West Shore"
Great Strike Practically Ended.
L -
The great strike which was inaugurated at
this end of the Saginaw river five weeks
ago tomorrow, is practically ended The
! action of the employees yesterday in offer
ing to accept the same conditions the mill
owners were willing at first to concede,
viz, ten hours and propOrtionate reduction
in wages, shows that they are tired of idle
ness and are willing to give up the fight.
The mill of Bliss Bros & Co started this
noon with full crew at eleven hours, and
Sanhorn d Hill started this morning on the
same conditions, making in all sixteen
mills running at eleven hours. Many men
prefer these hours and extra pay, and the
mills will be so run. Others are content to
work ten hours and accept reduced pay.
Only four ten-hour mills are running.

City for the arrest of Representative Barry

Co.'S mill. He is out of the city, and will
