Trying 10 Get n Repudiated Debt.
Special to the Globe.

Cptcldl inc OlODe.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. July 5.-The New
York syndicate, who represent about S13,-
600, 900 of the Tennessee state debt of
SIS, 600, 900, have formed a scheme to re-
ceive payment in full of the bonds held by
them. Eight years ago they proposed to
settle with the state at 60 cents, with 6
per cent. interest. This proposition being
rejected, they have refrained from making
any overtures to Tennessee. Two years
ago the legislature, without consulting the
bondhOlders, provided that the debt
should be funded at so cents, with
3 per cent. interest. Under this law nearly
one half Of the debt has been funded. The
New York syndicate would not settle at
this figure, but brought suit against the
railroad that had been constructed by
state aid, 10 hold il responsible. The
United States supreme court decided that
the state was liable. The syndicate now
proposes TO appeal 10 congress to appropri-
ate all the surplus federal revenues TO the
use of the states, il being provided that any
due and adjudicated or undisputed claim
against any state may be filed with the
treasurer for payment before the pro rata is
distributed to such state. The syndicate.

they will have the cooperation of capitalists

a Quiet Day i'm which He Does Moth
ing But Rest.

Mt. McGREGoR, n. Y, July 5.-When
he sat down at the breakfast table this
morning DR.. Douglas said he had enjoyed a
night of better rest than in long time, and
added, humorOusly, that Gen. Grant also
had slept and rested unusually well The
physician had not been aroused, and the
fact, as well as the implication, was
that the patient had been so quiet that
he did not need attention. Through
the twelve hours ending at s
o'clock this morning Gen. Grant
had slept fully eight or nine
hours. Then he took food and was treated
by the doctor, but he was not dressed. and
dozed on at intervals through the forenoon
The sick man was feeling weak SATURDAY.,
though his weakness was not occasioned by
the disease but was incident to other
causes. This morning he felt stronger. as
was indicated in note for DR.. Douglas
between 10 and IL o'clock: Il think L am
not as weak as L was at this time yester-
day." ran the communication. The patient
was also in better spirits this forenoon.
The last weeks work on the book had so
ended that the general felt much relieved as
to its progress. He had begun to think
the work of gathering the different portions
of his book together was
MAKING SLOW HEADwAY,
but he found on Saturday evening that the
book was nearly completed, and what still
remained to be done would be finished after
the matter had returned on galley proofs.
The abatement of the patients anxiety
over these details is also a source of relief
to his physician. who feels that while
healthy engagement of the generals mind
is to be desired, any source of harass-
ing anxiety is to be deplored
This morning the physician found
the patients pulse stronger than
yesterday. and the condition of the throat
was so improved that the examination Of
The afflicted parts was easier and more
thorough. The electric light instrument
could be presented nearer to the base of the
tongue. The voice was fair, though quite
husky. Soon after midday Gen. Grant
donned his clothing and after being COM
iOrtably fixed in his chair Oh the piazza, de-
voted more than an hour to reading the
Sunday papers. while the family and Sen
ator Chaffee were grouped near, chatting
dleerily.
At II o'clock DR.. Douglas again treated
he generals throat and administered more
Morphine, after which the patient was COM
posed for the night. The doctor believed
the general would have quiet night.

The Seed Department.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Commissioner
Colman of the agricultural department is
actively enjoying the turmoils of official
life. The new fiscal year has Just begun.
The disorganized statistical bureau has To
be recognized. Not only the furloughed
clerks and employees are working to be re-
instated, but over GOO other applicants are
on hand anxious to ill the score or 80 of
temporary places, the occupants of which
are not required to go through the civil
service ordeal. Mr.. Colman is the victim
Just now of the most vigorous party press
ure. He finds himself charged with duties
that require trained and experienced eX-
perts, and he certainly does not find such
persons i'm the raw Democratic material
that is being crowded upon him. The
demand now made is that not only
shall every Republican who has been fur
Laughed be esteemed an offensive partisan,
but that all who still remain i'm the depart
ment shall be displaced. II is hardly prob
able, however that Gov. Colman will yield
at present. The Sth inst. conference OF
agriculturists' representatives and of repre-
sentatives of the state agricultural colleges
will convene at the department. The OBJ
ject of the conference is principally TO de-
wise methods of cooperation between the
colleges and the department. by which
scientific and experimental wori, in the way
of propagating plants and seed, the labora-
tories, etc. can be carried on, and also 10
consider the best means of making the de-
partment more available to the agricultural
interests at large.

Illinois Playing the Hog.

Spec1al TO the GlODe.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-There is bitter
opposition on the part of the Democrats
from other states at the fact that Illinois
has received so much patronage. The APP
pointment of Judge Tree to the Belgian
mission and of eX-CongTeSsman Stevenson
to the first assistant postmaster generalship,
seem to have been the StraWS that broke the
camers back. 1t is now reported that an
Indiana delegation will call upon the presi-
dent on Monday and protest that Illinois
has received more than her share. especially
as the state cast no Democratic electoral
vote and is not likely to do so. There is
reason to believe that the special conSidera-
ton which has been given by the admins
tratiOn in the matter of patronage is due to the
fact that Morrison, Oberly and others have
sought TO convince the president that Hi
noiS is doubtful presidential state, and
that liberal use of patronage would con-
tribute much to turning the political scale.
This argument eXciteS some amusement in
the hotel Hobbies, but lit is a good enough

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The era OIL Dem
ocratic simplicity has not been restored III
the departments. The cabinet officers who
at first were disposed to gain popularity by
being accessible are now more exclusive
than those of any preceding administration,
and have adopted rigid rules as TO the ad'
mission of visitors which may serve the
social and other purposes OF the secretaries,
but which are often inconvenlent TO the
general public. The congressman are par
ticularIy irritated by them. 1t is possible
that an inquiry may be made in congress of
the various cabinet officers to know why it
is they treat the departments as their pri-
waite offices and do not obey the law, which
requires that they shall be open six days
week to the public between certain hours.
The attorney general, for instance,
DECLINES TO SEE VISITORS
Saturday and excludes the public from the
building of the department of justice that
day. Yesterday a curious incident hap
pened at the war department Secretary
Endicott has decided that he will not see
congressman except between the hours OF
10 and -. Senator Teller, who is spend
ing day or two here and probably has no
more time to waste than Secretary Endi-
cott called three times between 10 and IL
o'clock but Mr.. Endicott at II o'clock had
not arrived at the department. A few
minutes after u Senator Teller called
again and was refused admission by the
messenger, who intimated that he might
lose his place if he should violate the arbi-
trary rule and admit him. Mr.. Teller has
been for some years
A CABINET OFFICER
and knows something of the duties of a
cabinet position, but notwithstanding he
insisted upon entering, he was refused adj
mission. One senator, therefore, was led
half day in an unavailing attempt TO see
the secretary of war; The same experience
is had by congressman in all the depart
ments and there is much indignation on
that account. Postmaster General Villas
has caused an order to be posted in his de-
partment which announces that July and
for two weeks following that day he will
not receive or consider applications for
Office made by candidates in person. He
proposes to devote his fortnights seclusion
to the consideration of certain other bust
ness.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 5.-This morn
ing near Walden, $50 miles west of here,
an east-bound freight train was struck by
waterSpout. The engineer saw the
waterspout approaching, coming along

engineer reversed his engine to avoid the

with the column inclined and having
rocking motion. Just before the watespout
reached the line of the road it
changed its course and bounded
along parallel to the track with
frightful velocity. When opposite the
train the waterspout burst, deluging the en-
gineer, fireman and brakeman, who aban-
doned the train and climbed some trees to
avoid a wave of water fully eight feet
high and about 100 feet wide. The
locomotive aud six cars were raised
bodily and carried nearly 200
feet from the track, while the roadbed was
completely obliterated. No one was hurt.

The Mayors proclamation.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The mayor, in a
proclamation issued tonight for publica-
ton in tO-mOrrow'S papers. gives notice, as
the West Division Street Railway company
has notified him of its intention to run its
cars on Monday in accordance with its
chartered rights, for the sake of
peace and the good name of Chicago
that people must refrain from congregating
on streets where the cars are until al eN-
element shall have subsidized and must
move on when requested To do SO by the
police. The police are notified in the
proclamation that they must protect the
property of the street car company at all
hazards. The document closes with an
earnest appeal 10 the citizens to aid in pre-
serving the good name of Chicago. About
200 police have been detailed to look ont
for the company's rights in the morning.
and it is understood that the
first car will start from the
barns at 6 o'clock. The reports from the
meeting of strikers held tonight are to the
effect that they have simply reaifirmed their
action of Saturday night, namely their
willingness to arbitrate.
HoT-HEADED SOCIALISTS.
To-day at the regular Sunday
meeting of the Socialists, on the
lake front, the burden of each speakers
elOquence was the strike. The crowd was
unusually large and the utterances unusu-
ally Sanguinary. Second on the list
OF orators was John Henry. He
said he felt that the time had
come for all Socialists and others
who hated law and order to rise up
and burn and kill. How many of YOU
have guns and pistOls?" he demanded
1iercely. Il have. and l." were answers
from all parts of the crowd. ssThen get
them ready" he resumed, with an effort
toward deadly significance. "In a few
days. perhaps tomorrow, we may want to
use them" The speaker pointed ont amid
great applause how himself and his
bearers could march down the bOulevards
the highways of the purse proud and aris-
tocratic, and sweep them from the face of
the earth. He concluded by naming prom
inent citizens and capitalists as enemies TO
mankind, and with other speakers of the
occasion condemned the strikers on account
of their leniency with their oppreSsors. The
strikers had learned of the company's re-
fuSalS 10 arbitrate, and seemed generally. as
they discussed the matter during the day, to
anticipate struggles i'm the future, to which
that of Friday would be insignificant by
comparison. There was no talk of backing
down, and yet no boisterouS threats were in
du!ged in. Few had any doubt that the
company, aided by the police, would put
cars on the track Monday morning. and TO
decide what course 10 pursue meeting was
called for tonight, but at o'clock no de-
clslve program had been agreed upon.

the secretary of the interior, appeared to
take the place. This newcomer retained
the position about two days. There were
two errors in the matter of his appoint
ment. One was that the agricultural
bureau is not a dependency on the interior
department, although in the early stages of
the administration this error was quite gen.
eral on the part of the authorities at the in
terror department. The second was that it

OF the latter objected. When the expoSi-
ton closed Springstein remained here, but
the young woman's relatives refused to
allow him TO see her. A few days ago
he secured position which required him to
leave the city. The thought that he could
never see Celeste again preyed on his mind
and he talked so wildly that a watch was
kept on his actions. He was detected
several times attempting to buy poi
son. Yesterday he succeeded. When
discovered he was beyond recovery, having
poisoned himself with morphine. He left
a will dividing his patent rights between
his friends, and showering curses upon the
heads of Celeste's relatives, whom he
charged with his death. He was buried to-
day by the Knights of Pythias.

Special TO the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, July 5.-The members
and friends of the Young Mems Christian
association celebrated Independence day
with rather more guStO than usual. as an
expression of thankfulneSS for the success
attending their building scheme At the
last conference held the other evening the
subscription reported aggregated over S57,-
600, which inSureS the new building so
much lOnged for. 4 rather humorous in
eldent, by the way, occurred at that con-
ference, which appears to have been care
fully omitted from the reports of the gath
ering. When reports from subscription
committees were called for, one gentleman
arose, and, with the air of having done a
goo thing, and knowing it, read off the
names of Philip Best Brewing company
$500, Joseph Schlitz Brewing company
$500. No sooner had the names been an
nounced than an individual sprang up i'll
the room and eXeitedly asked if the COM
mittee proposed to accept subscriptions for
Young Mems Christian association build
ing from brewing companies. An eXplO-
sion seemed imminent, when the secretary
hastily worked his way over to the dis
turber and after short struggle succeeded
in squelching him. Where the new build
ing will be erected is now the prominent
question. 1t is generally conceded, how
ever, that it will be on Grand avenue. not
