Dorsheimer partially fulfilled

Dorsheimer partially fulfilled his
promise in the Star to give the in
s!de facts concerning the Ward
and Warner transactions. His
statement fully shows the transac-
lions between Ward and Warner,
were il the nature Of transfer Of
large sums of money upon pretenses
80 himsy as scarcely to amount to a
pretense at all. 1t appears, for ex
ample, that 1000 borrowed money,
earned a profit of $1,000 in ten
days and $4,000 in sixty days, ana
that the business in twenty-one
months realized profit Of $1,000
900 in cash, and s3,8O0,000 in OBJ
legations Of the firm.

THE ELECTIONS.

The returns are now complete
enough to show that Hill, the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor, has
carried New York by about twelve
thousand majority. He went out
of the city with about fifty thousand
majority, which the returns from
the rural districts reduced, but
were not able to overcome. In
scanning the returns one cannot
overlook the fact that had the Re-
publicans given Davenport the
same vote they gave Blaine, they
would have elected him by 8 hand
some majority. The Administra
ton made q desperate effort to
carry its own State, and all the
power and money that could be
concentrated in New York was
thrown in to achieve that result,
yet, in spite OF this the State gave
q Republican Legislature.
Pennsylvania came up, as might
have been expected, with major
ity of about thirty thousand, Re
publican.
Iowa shows positive Republican
gains. and the State is. carried by
10000 maj ority,
New Jersey is carried by hand
some Republican majority.
Illinois has gone Republican, but
there was but light vote,
and very little excitement.
Connecticut stays in the Repub-
lican line and Massachusetts, gave
4 Republican victory and Republl-
can gains. Nebraska is Republican.
In Virginia the Democrats gain
Senator, and in Mississippi there
was but one ticket in the field,
Democratic. The Democrats have
carried Colorado by small major
ity. As one scans the field it is
hard to figure out where the Demo-
Gratis can find any comfort in the
results.

THE BENEFIT OF THE WAR

From General Grants account of
the Chattanooga campaign which
is published in the November Cen
fury, and is accompanied by ex-
planatory maps, we take the follow
ing: There was no time during
the rebellion when | did not think,
and often say, that the South was
more to be benefited by defeat than
the North. The latter had the peo-
Lie, the institutions, and the terri
tory to make a great and prosperous
nation. The former was burdened
with an institution abhorrent to all
civilized peoples not brought up
Under it, and one which degraded
labor, kept it in ignorance and en-
ervated the governing class. With
the outside world at war with this
institution, they could not have ex-
tended their territory. The labor
Of the country was not skilled, nor
allowed to become so. The whites
could not toll without becoming de-
GRADED, and those who did were de-
nominated poor white trash The
system of labor would have soon
exhausted the soil AID left the peo-
pie poor. The non-slave holders
would have left the country, and
The small stakeholder must have
sold out to his more fortunate
neighbors. Soon the slaves would
naye outnumbered the masters, and
not being in sympathy with them,
would have risen in their mi eht
and have exterminated them. The
war was expensive to the South as
we'll as to the North, both in blood
and treasure but it was worth all
{ cost

Minister Kelley in Paris.


Mr.. Kelley is staying at the Hotel
d'Orient, Rue Damon. He is man Of
medium height, with hair slightly
spTinkled with gray, and he hides a very
intelligent look behind his thick glasses.
He speaks French just a little. In his
bearing he resembles an Englishman
rather than a Yankee, and he wears a
rather long coat, which gives him sort
of clerical air. Indeed, Mr.. Kelley must
be OF a rather religious turn Of mind.
Judging from the number of piOus books
scattered about his room.

ton from me on that subject, but my con-
duct has been the same towards all.

favored than the Paris correspondent of

you, came to interview me, but l even
refused to receive him."

Miss Cleveland and Her Picture.



Miss Cleveland, who is away from the
White House for summer vacation, has
made her stopping place in New York a
profound secret, ''tOr one day only" as
the playbills of the small travelling shows
read. At the Office Of Funk a. Wagnalls,
in Dey street, one Of the firm said yester-
day.
"Miss Cleveland has not been here to-
day. She sent word that she desired alb
sOlute rest for a day, and that no one
must have her address under any cOnsid-
Grafton. She will remain here for a week
to attePd to certain business matters in
connection with her publication, and then
90 elsewhere for the summer"
''Has she been rendered the presidency
of Nassar College ~
"All know about it is what is seen in
the papers,"
How does the book sell ~
$50 rapidly that we have not vet been
able TO get enough on hand to send out
the press copies. We haven't COPY in
the store to-day, except faulty one with
ten pages missing"
Miss Cleveland has a complication with
Bradley & Co., of Philadelphia, publishers
of The Ladies of the White House," by
Mrs. Laura G. Holloway, of Brooklyn,
which may end in legal steps to restrain
them from using her picture without au-
thOrity. She has been strenuous in the
refusal of permission to place her portrait
in circulation. She refused the privilege
to Funk & W.agnaIls in the publication
of her essays. The Ladies of the White
House, would not be complete without
her portrait, and she finally committed
to Mrs. Holloway a photograph from
which Bradley & Co. were allowed to
make steel engravings for the work. The
pictures thus struck off are now being
offered for sale in single sheets, neatly
framed, without any reference 10 the
book, and hearing an Inscription stating
that they are authorized by Miss Cleveland
and ISSUED by Laura G. Holloway. 1t is
to put an end to this use Of her portrait
that Miss Cleveland has come to New
York.

"A CHEESE SANDWICH.
And How 1t Nearly Caused Trouble in
a Newspaper Office.
From the NemDhis Ava1anehe.

From the Mempbis 4 UaIGnche.
The midsummer serenity and the good
feeling which generally prevails in the
business office of the ArGLdnche came
nearly being rudely broken yesterday, and
1t came about in this wise: The superin-
tendent, who is by birth a Pennsylvania
Dutchman, went to dinner at George
Schilly's restaurant and was informed by
his Teutonic friend that he had just re-
ceived some excellent hand-kase and IN
sisted on the newspaper man accepting
couple Of sandwichessto regale himself on
during the evening. b., OF course, gladly
consented, and brought the cheese back
to the office and secreted il in the book
keepers desk. After a while the book
keeper came in ana settled down over his
ledger, but i'm very few minutes lifted up
his head and shifted as though he smelled
something. However, he made no COM
ment, but returned to his task, only in
few seconds to throw back his head with
an expressive snort. He then climbed off
his stool and picking up a cuspidore IN
each hand carried them to remote part
Of the room, depositing them care
fully in a corner. When ne again
reached his post the often
sive Odor was as marked as ever, ana the
bOokkeeper remarked in rather aforclble
manner, something smells awful IN
here" at the same time glancing suspi-
cicusly at the advertising solicitor, who
was sorting a lot of bills few feet away.
By this time the aroma had penetrated
the delicate nostrils of the latter, and he
raised his eyes and gazed reproachfully
at the bookkeeper, and edged his chair
little further away.
At this juncture B. remembered he had
business elsewhere and went into another
room, leaving the bOokkeeper and the So
hcitor alone. They looked sus-
piciously and pityingly at one an
other for moment. and then
began exceedingly uncomplmentary and
unpleasant illusions to each others toilet,
which might have ended disastrously had
it not been for the bookkeeper lifting up
paper disclosing the two inOffensive
cheese sandwiches. Peace now reigns
and mutual confidence is again restored.

CROOKED OFFICIALS.
Canadian Government Bonds Missing
and "a SI2 900 Shortage Discovered at
Ottawa.


and "a $4,000 Shortage Discovered at
ottawa.
From the Neto York World.
MONTREAL, July 13.-The redemption
of the Canadian loan, which has Just been
arranged by Sir Leonard Tilley, Cana
dian Finance Minister, in London, will
bring 10 light some startling revelations
as 10 the manner In which considerable
number of the bonds representing the
debt have been placed upon the market
by dishonest employees. II is believed
this amount will exceed 100000. Last
year a bond at the 1860 issue for G. 900
was negotiated in London, Eng, after
having been stolen from the government
vaults by trusted official, since dead,
who forged the signature Of the govern
ment representative authorized to sign II.
Ii has now been discovered that number
of these bonds have disappeared from the
government vaults, and there Is little
doubt that they are in circulation, and
will come in for redemption within few
months.
1t has further leaked out that during
the recent Investigation into tue manage
ment Of the Finance Department defal-
cation OF $4,000 was discovered in the ac-
counts Of a trusted official. Departmental
circles IN Ottawa are greatly agitated,
AS II is uncertain where the next discov-
cries will be made or upon whom suspi-
cion may fall. Charges OF loose manage.
meDt Of several departments have been
freely made of late and appear to be jus.
titled by circumstances. Until recently
bonds TO the value of over Sl.000,OOO all
signed ready for issue, are said To have
lain IN vault to which every officer ot
the Treasury Department had access
without any check. Asa result OF a de.
