SENATOR LOGAN AT BOSTON.
Reception at the Parker House--The Senator's
Views OH Reform.

BosToN, June %. "A large number of promi
nent gentlemen, representing the bar, bench,
pulpit, platform, counting room and council
chamber met in attendance at the reception
given tonight by the Norfolk Club to
House. AS the guest of the evening ap-
peared in the doorway he was greeted
with round Of cheers. General Logan bowed
gracefully to the party, when they responded
with another round of applause. Then, in turn,
each man came forward to grasp the hand of the
visitor Mrs. Logan then entered the room, and
was given most cordial reception. After the
formalities of the reception had ended
the party proceeded to the banquet-hall.
Hon. Asa French occupied the head of
the table, with General Logan upon his right
and Governor Robinson upon the left. Governor
Robinson was the first speaker General Logan
was then presented and was greeted with great
applause. He referred to the debt which the
West owes massachusetts and to the influence
eXerted by her. In nothing was this influence
more clearly and permanently imprinted upon
the Nation than in the matter of education. In
the present aspect of affairs it was by education
alone that the wisdom of our course
IN reference to the elevation of the coored race
is to be fully vindicated in the minds of reason
able men. Speaking of reforms, General Logan
said:
I'm my opinion reform which will guarantee
personal rights will be Of more advantage to the
country than the transferring OF the funds Of
the government from the sub treasury OF the
United States to the banks
OF civil service reform he said: 1T is the child
OF the Republican party, but unfortunately it
has been put out to nurse with stranger, and,
If not dead now, looks sick unto death. The
law is now being construed to the effect that
person who voted the Republican ticket at the
last election committed crime against the
peace and dignity of the Democratic party--an

chairman, an offensive partisan is a Republican;
an effective partisan is Democrat He is to
be appointed as reward for his political zeal.
His appointment will not improve the public
services, fancy, but it is made for partisan
reasons only The Democrats have been
diligently searching for 'rascals' with view to
turning them out, as they should have been had
they been found. Every time they have searched

partisan, and have instantly turned him

After General Logan concluded, speeches
were made by Ex-Governor Long, OK Collector
Beard, Senator Hoar, Ex-Governor Bourne and
Henry Cabot Lodge.

Large Amount of Treasure.
BOMBAY, June 90 1t is reported from Cabul
that Isa Khan, supported by Russian allies, has
risen against Abdullah Khan Isa Khan marched
upon Khani-Bad and seized the treasure there
valued at million pounds sterling, belonging to
the Ameer of Afghanistan. The political diff
ficulties in Kashgar arc becoming serious and

Abdullah Khan is the Governor Of Kunduz
the extreme northern province of Afghanstan.
The town Of Khani Bad is situated about sixty
miles south of the river Oxus, which river sep
arates it from the Russian protected state Box
hara. Khan i.Bad was the headquarters of the
present Ameer of Afghanistan before he was
summoned to the throne and there also occurred
the negotiations between the Ameer and the
British officers.
No adyices have been received from st. Pc
tcrsburg, or from the Indian government, con-
irming the report that Isa Khan had risen
against Abduah Khan, although the Indian
papers publish alarmist reports.
The Persian newspaper Shems states that the
Russian agents are reported to be stirring a
movement in Afghan Turkestan to regain the
independence Of that country. The latest ad-

LONDON, June 29-At meeting Of the Mid
lothian Liberal Association, today the chair
man read letter from Mr.. Gladstone, express
ing his deep and grateful sense Of the fidelity OF
the Liberal majority of 1880 in dealing with diff
culties almost unexampled. He refrains from
criticizing the Conservative Cabinet, feeling it
be his duty to support and assist them
in doing right. He says he is confident that the
presence of the Liberals in Parliament will De
competent to exercise beneficial vigilance. He
asks Midlothian to assist him in using his
strongest and most strenuous efforts in the
interest OF the Liberal party Mr.. Gladstone
says he did not think he should again
ask to be returned to Parliament, but
that events had transpired that rendered
it necessary that he should not
impair the unity and efficiency Of the Liberal
party. The meeting was then addressed by the
Earl of Roseberry, and resolution expressing
hearty confidence in Mr.. Gladstone was after
ward adopted
Mr.. Gladstone's letter is the political feature
of the day. The Liberals are now relieved of
anxiety over the question of his continued lead
ership of the party, and are jubilant over his
decision to remain in politics.
The Times, in an editorial, thinks Mr.. Glad
stones letter may check the Radical unrest and
trouble the Conservatives to finish the business
and dissolve early in August. 1t hopes Mr.
Gladstone's decision included an intention to
main at the head of affairs and to conduct schemes

JOHN M'CULLOUGH'S ANTECEDENTS.
The Story Told by Rochester Woman, Who
Claims To BE Sister of the Actor.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, June 29.-Mrs William
Smith, Of No. 10 Dean street, this city, who
says she is sister Of John Mccullough, the
actor, states that when he came to this country,
mere lad, he became separated from her family
when they arrived at Castle Garden, New York
He was cared for by man who, not being able
to find his guardian, took him to Philadelphia,
where, when very young. he found his way on
the stage having natural abilities In that direc-
ton. Mccullough was not discovered by his
relatives until comparatively recent time, when
Mrs. Smith, his only sister, found that ne had
become famous as an actor, and Immediately
wrote to him, inquiring about his former life;
but she says she has reason to believe that all her
letters were intercepted, as she never received
a reply to any of them. Through friend who
had conversation with Mccullough and who
questioned him regarding his former life. she
found that there were no reasons for doubling
that Mccullough was her brother as his state
ment agreed with what she knew of his former
life. She also says that man who has been
with Mccullough on the stage has borrowed a
great deal of money from him, not long ago
borrowing So 000 and that he is attempting to
prove that Mccullough has relatives, for the
purpose of coming into possession of McCul-
louchs money, or a part Of it. 1t has been
stated recently that Mccullough has wife and
two sons, one thirty and the other thirty four
years of age, but this statement Mrs. Smith de-
clares entirely false. She says Mccullough was
never married She thinks his removal to
Bloomingdale Asylum was unnecessary, as he
was not violent.

TIE PRAIRIE MERCHANT PRINCE.
The Wide Swath Cut in Omaha by Chicago
Man Who Gave the Name of Smith.

OMAHA, June 90. Il. s. Smith, who aspired
to be known as the Merchant Prince of the Prai
ries, paid his bill at local hotel yesterday,
checked his trunk for variously reported points,
and left for parts unknown, taking, it is said,
$l00, 900 in cash with him. Smith came here
eight months ago from Chicago. He had $75,
000 which he invested in the dry goods business
of which he was, apparently, wholly ignorant.
He at once began running mammoth excursions
into the city from different points, purchasing
the complete advertising space of the daily
papers. and performing other like feats His
prices reduced other merchants to point where
they were forced to go slow. He carpeted the
streets for pedestrians, and gave open air con-
certs for the poor Some time agot was thought
that he could not go much further without help,
and his creditors placed men here to watch mat
ters. These men had decided to close the place
to morrow. At late hour last night Smith
transferred his stock to Cole 81 Co., new iirm
from the East, tho consideration being 10000,
and $40, 900 in three months. Smith said little
about his business. He took his manager with
him when he left

How Mcrcenary congressman Manage to

WASHINGTON, June % The fact that ex.
Commissioner Loring has had his accounts hung
up, and that he is asked to repay to the govern
mant some $40, 900 expended for seeds out of the
appropriation for other purposes, will probably
result in a more careful distribution Of the seeds
of the Agricultural Department. AS it is. these
packages of seeds distributed over the coun-
try at the rate of about 900 to each congressman.
1t is safe to say that onehird of them find their
way into the hands of junk dealers, who pay
some of these mercenary members a merely
nominal figure for their quota and sell them
again to other members in agricultural commu-
ties for slight advance in cost. This practice
ought to be stopped ard in fact the government
should never go into the distribution of seeds
which are nothing but the common every day
product of American nurseries.

FIRST ASSISTANT HAY.
The Trouble He Causes and the Ill-Tcmr,r ,r

Special to tho Indauapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, June 29-First Assistant Post
master general Hay is the great thorn in the
side Of the Democratic statesmen who come
here. Mr. Hay will not admit that he is nearly
dead man. He hates to have his physical con
dition discussed. and asserts, like all others who
are afflicted with the same disease, that he is
rapidly gaining strength. The First Assistant
Postmaster general wears winter clothing when
the thermometer is about 80. He also wears an
overcoat when most men are carrying fans and
sun umbrellas. His limbs are emaciated, his
checks flushed and snnken, and his whole condi
sumption. With characteristic pluck, and as
if in defiance of those who, he thinks,
are anxious for his removal, he sits at his desk
day after day, and listens to the plants of the
anxious congressman. He cannot sit erect with
out the aid of something to bolster him up, and
it is only matter of time when he will not be
able to sit at all. Still, he receives every one
who comes and since he has adopted a line of
policy for himself he gets rid Of them very easily
by first announcing his intentions Few of
them go away satisfied, and many leave his
presence very much out of temper Senator
Vance is the latest AS he left the building last

THE OBJECTION TO KELLEY.
Austria Merely Exercises It's Fight, but 1t
Looks Like BigotrM


Washington Special
The grounds on which Minister Kelley is being
objected to at the Austrian court seem to be
very strange in this age of civilization and re-
lieious tolerance TO refuse TO receive a minister
because his wife is a Jewess is very small bust
ness, and it shows that the fires Of bgotry burn
as brightly now in some sections OF the world
as they did in the near neighborhood of those
sections 200 years ago. The United States can
not, however, make fuss about Mr.. Kc;ley's
recall. International law ard international
etiquette are different from the common article.
and, though the refusal Of the Emperor of
Austria to receive any American ambassador
would be good ground Of complaint, yet the
Emperor has a perfect right to object to the
reception of Mr.. Kelley or any other
particular individual grounds that
the person sent is obnoxious to
him. the United States, in such case, has no
| right to take offense. This has been the inter
national usage for generations Richeiieu told
the English ambassador ut Paris that the Duke
of Buckingham would not be received rs embas-
sador extraordinary, and Francis I, of France,
refused to receive Cardinal Pole. the Popes
legate on the ground that he was an enemy of
his friend Henry Will Should Mr. Kelley be
| accepted however, he would have the right TO
worship God as he chose at the Austrian capital,
and If his wife was of the same religion as him
self she would also be included in this rule. But
the law holds that his wife has no separate right
of worship, and il, as | understand she does
she believes a different creed from ier hus-
band, she can be prevented from observing
its rites in public. Joseph Ii, of Austria, would
not let legation Of Lutheran ambassadors hold
domestic worship at their hotel and Philip III
of Spain, once cried to force tho trains of all tho
ambassadors at his court to attend mass. This
was, of course, preposterous claim and it
would not be permitted now.
Should Kelley be sent back TO America, his
case will not be the first one Of this kind III our
history though, perhaps, the grounds Of his re-
call win be different from those Of any Of tho
others. Charles G. Pinckney was refused al.
