Good Words for California.
! WASHINGTON, August 24th.-The G. A. r.
| delegates from Washington returned last
| night and were given a reunion reception
! They were met at the depot by large
number of comrades and friends who
escorted them to Grand Army Hall. Had
! any Californians been in the hail they
would, if the inhabitants of that great
State have modesty left, have blushed to
| the tip of their ears while listening to the
praises which were showered upon them
Of their hospitality and their State by the
returning delegates, and the veterans were
| eloquent in expressing their admiration,
and made every one who had staid at home
| fell badly because he had not been able to
/ participate. An hour was spent in speech
making, and a banquet wound up the exer-
| cises.
Serious Charges Against the Mayor of
| Philadelphia.
| PHILADELPHIA, August 24th.-The sensa-
| ton of the day here are the charges pub
| lished fer 4 week past by the Times against
| William B. Smith, Mayor of the city, in
| which the latter is openly accused of being
a thief and emhezzler to the amount of
many thousand dollars. The only reply
the Mayor las made to the very grave
charges is that he has not money enough
to engage in lawsuit. The Times, in a
scathing editorial this morning, says that
| Mayor Smith yesterday paid into the city
treasury an additional sum of 81 800, being
the third payment forced from him within
| the last week by the exposure of his law
| less retention of the city moneys until the
29th OF this month. He paid into the
| treasury only the sum of $3.50 during the
! present year, which payment was made on
| the 18th Of February, for the sale of a cow
| Mayor Smith has put himself in the atti-
tnde of a criminal Chief Magistrate openly
| dcfying the law. and insolently affronting
| all intelligent and honest public sentiment.
| He challenges every good citizen to the as
sertion of the majesty of the law by his
| staggering lawlessness. For him to re-
main in the executive charge of the second
city of the nation, and the first in intelh-
gence and respect for the law, would be
consuming reproach on Philadelphia, and
an Invitation to lawlessness and embeZzle-
ment in every public trust, and every bust
! ness enterprise. 1t is stated that Mayor
Smith has threatened to shoot Colonel
! Mcclure, editor of the Philadelphia Times,
| on sight.
Relations of the United States and Mexico.
WASHINGTON, August 24th.-An official
| telegram has been received from Minister
| Jackson, confirming the press reports of
| Cuttings release, but giving no particulars.
| No doubt is entertained at the department
| that the published statements with regard
TO the reasons alleged by the Mexicans for
| their actions are correct. The release will
not affect Sedgwick's mission, which is to
learn all facts in the case. The Govern
ment does not at present concern itself
| with the question of damages to Cutting,
| but will use all information ii may gather
| through Sedgwick in the furtherance of its
| negotiations for change of Mexican laws,
| in so far as they are held to give the right
| to try Americans for acts committed within
| American territory. The Rasures-Mon-
| dragon murder is still a subject of CORE
spondence, or rather of inquiry. As it ap-
| pears at present. the only act for which this
| Government can demand redress is for
| that, of kidnapping Rasures when he was
domiciled upon this side of the border line.
| In no event can 1t be expected that Mon
| dragon will be surrendered for trial to the
| American authorities, the special treaty
| intervening to warrant q refusal on MeXico's
| part to surrender one of her citizens upon
any preteXt.
The Texas Storm-Damage to Shipping.
| GALVESTON, August 24th.-The recent
| storm proved very destructive TO small
vessels The sloop Kate J. went to pieces
| Off Pelican Island. The crew was saved.
! Lying near her, bottom up, is the scow
Eliza. Her crew of two men is supposed
| to be drowned. An unknown vessel is re-
| oil ho44 Of Pod I1ich lo
| schooner Livonia Perkins is now lying
| bottom up in the bay, near Pelican Island.
! Two of her crew were lost. The schooner
| Lottie May went ashore near Indianola.
| All hands are supposed to have been lost
! All small craft in the bay, from the shoal
| to Edward Point, are reported lost. The
| schooner Perry has gone to pieces. Her
captain and cook were drowned, the re-
mainder of the crew being saved. 1t is
roughly estimated that the damage done to
shipping in this vicinity approximates
| 100000. The village of Oeunnlana, at the
mouth of the Brazos river, was entirely
swept away Indanola is a complete
| wreck, not more than three or four houses
| having escaped destruction. Nearly all the
sheep and cattle on the island were
| drowned. None of the survivors saved
| anything besides what they had on hand.
| The bodies of Mrs. DR.. Hodges, her twin
children and her sister, Mrs. Croker, vic
| tins of the storm at Indianola, were in
| tered at Cicero Sunday.
| The City Council last evening appropri-
ated $4,000 for the benefit of the storm
sufferers of this city. The citizens have
subscribed 5000 for the same purpose.
| This will only afford temporary relief as
over $50 families have been rendered home
| less and destitute by the storm.
| New York Street-car Trouble.
| New YORK, August 24th.-Eleven hun
| dred employees of the Broadway and Sew
| enth avenue surface road were paid off to-
day. Superintendent Newell said that
since the men refused to accept the terms
| offered he will have nothing more to do
| with them. He has advertised for new
men. He expects to start out cars this af-
ternoon. Police Inspector Dilkes, with
| force of twenty men, is guarding the sta
bles. Early this morning fifteen non
| Union men from the extra list of the Third
avenue surface line started for the stables
of the Broadway road to apply for work.
/ They were intercepted by the strikers. and
! assaulted and driven away. Master Work
man Graham hastened to the stables and
ordered the men to refrain from all vio-
lence. 1t is asserted that the company had
violated their agreement, which was to
make each driver and conductor run only
| FIVE trips day. The new schedule would
make them run six trips a day, or about
! sixteen hours work. A meeting OF men,
! bers of the Local Assembly Car Employees
will be held tonight The employees of
| the Belt line left work at o'clock A. NJ.
They complain of discharges on frivolous
| pretextS, and also of increasing hours of
work with reduction in wages The EN-

| second street lines-complain of a new
| timetable issued to-day. They claim that
they will have to work ten hours daily
