NEW YORK, July 31.-We hear great
deal about Irish rule in New York and
the large Increase in the German popula-
tion, and the showing that even the Ital-
ians, French and Chinese are beginning
to make, but seldom is any comment
made on the spread OF the Jewish colony
and the slow, steady absorption Of certain
branches Of the wholesale trade into the
hands of lsraelites. 1t used to be said
that although the east and west sides OF
New York have been almost completely
foreignized, the native population having

This has ceased to be true. The other after
noon, while walking down that thorough
fare, chose u block at random-it was
the short one lying between White and
Walker streets, and read the signs on
either side the way. Here are some OF
the names on them: Fellheimer, Hoch-
heimer, Wormser, Pach, Thalmeisinger,
Mosenthal, Mayer, Meyers, Silk, Linde-

is impOlltic to resist 1t actively as the

NEW YORK, July 31.-Mr. Steele Mac,

He has now seized upon stirring con,

originality. His subject Is Anarchy.
Iheard the play read on Monday to a
select company of actors and managers.
Mr.. Mackaye is noted among these peo4

Mackaye's method is the tumuItuous
one. He reads play as LIszt is said ID
play the plano. He Talmages a play all
to pieces, acts every part, shifts all thS
the scenes, tears his hair, plucks at hid
eyes, and, streaming with gore and
perspiration, sweeps his listeners int{

attention and win their money.
Mr.. Mackaye has attempted to do this,
and think successfully. he play drawd
a clean line between liberty anc license,
between heroism and fanaticism. Ii deals
with the fercest moments OF revolution,
but 1t hangs the terr bic incidents upon d
noble, clean and admirable love story. II

hero OF this drama.
Mr.. Tom McDonOugh said when il was

a stronger or nobler play.
That left nothing whatever for me to

there is a bigger fortune in a good play

WHY NEwMARK WAS REMOVED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The full story
Of Newmark, who was nominated as Con-
sui at Lyons, and whose name was sud-
denly Withdrawn by the President, and
the name OF DR.. h. Ii. Bryan sent 20 the
Senate in its stead, has never yet been
told. 1t is as follows: When Newmark
was appointed, be was already In France,
and he Immediately assumed the duties of
the consulate. 1t was only few days be-
fore the firm OF Kuhn IL Co., silk export
ers, called on him and described four
different conditions under which they
desired to ship goods to the United States.
They asked him 10 draw up four forms of
affidavit which they could use for the
purpose Of getting their goods through
the custom house. Newmark drafted the
affidayits and subsequently sent his bill
for 5O0f. for tae service. The firm found
the atfidaVlts more irOnclad than the
regular customs regulations, and so re-
fused to use them, and not using them
they did not desire to pay for them.
Meanwhile Newmark discovered some
things about Kuhn q Co., which, perhaps,
he did not know at urst, viz: that they
were disposed TO get their goods through
the American custom hauses with as lit
tie duty as possible. He found that they
were sending large consignment to san
Francisco, and he accordingly sent let
ter to the Collector to look ont for them, as
they were crooked. TheTeupon the Col
lector seized the whole consignment when
1t arrived and held it tor explanation.
The firm OF Kuhn IL Co. furnished
their agent in san Francisco with New
marks bill for j0Ol., and said that he was
simply trying TO Ulackmail them, and as
they had refused 10 pay he had reported
them as crooked. ghey hBd a prima facie
case against the Consul. The goods were
re reieased, and the whole matter was re-
ferred to the Treasury Department.
From the Treasury it was referred TO the
state Department, and on the strength Of
it Newmark was recalled. The state De-
partment officials held that he should not
have drawn up any affidavit sat all, as
such things mean crOOkedness. The ex-
plantations that are made make 1t look
much better than 1t did at first. II seems
besides that Newmark is very powerful.

childs, who wrote 10 August Belmont
about II, and when Mr.. Eugene Myer, of
san Francisco, came on here TO look after
the matter, Perry Belmont, Chairman of
the House Foreign Affairs Committee,
was ready to go to Secretary Bayard in
his behalf. Newmark demands vindica-
tion aud another place.

STARTLERS IN RESERVE.
THE ANARCHIST EVIDENCE NOT
ALL IN YET.

States Attorney GriDnell Holding Back
Important Information in Possession
of Detectives-The Defense Expected
to Cali Mayor Carter Harrison as
Their First witness.
CHICAGO, Aug. lit is believed in
we'll informed quarters that States At
torney Grinnell still has, IN a partly ma
tured state, a surprise for the defense and
for the country in the anarchists trial,
which he will diVulge IN rebuttal. That
he is holding back something very I'M
portant there can scarcely be doubt.
1t is said Pinkerton Detective McPhelan
is out of the city at present on an i'm
portant mission in connection with the
trial, and that he will yet be placed on
the stand for the State along with others
for the purpose Of giving most vital testi-
mOny.
ADMITTED BY THE DETECTIVES.
Indeed, there are well informed persons
connected with the detective forces of the
city who do not hesitate TO express the
belief that before the trial is ended the
jury will have unquestionable evidence as

ticuiars of the Haymarket conspiracy,

been given in the testimony. The defense
will commence the production OF testi-
mOny tomorrow morning to attempt to
prove that the prisoners are not murder
ers or accessories to murder.
THE FIRST WITNESS.
1t is expected that Mayor Harrison will
be the first witness who will be called
upon to state what his knowledge was
previous to May concerning the conduct
of the prisoners as to their connection
with Socialstic organizations, public and
private meetings, etc, and also whether
or not that knowledge was such as to lead
him to take any action to enforce the
laws against them. The defense expect
to get through during the present week, or
within eight days at the furthest. A num-
Der OF prisoners will be put upon the
stand in their own defense, among them
Spies, Fischer, Schwab and Neebe.

An Office Seeker Gets a Loan, bu.
Loses His Nomination.
WASHINGTON, July 3l.-A curious in,
cldent comes to light to-day in connection
with an Ohio gentleman who came m
Washington several months ago as a cafIt
didate for an important position under
the Interior Department. His social
standing at home was excellent, and his
indorsers some OF the best known people
IN the Buckeye State. A couple of weeks
ago he received assurances from the Presi-
dent that he would be nominated for the
place. He had, meanwhile, exhausted
his available funds, and, in this
dilemma, applied to Gen. ROsecrans
for temporary loan of $3.50,
giving in return draft on the National
Bank OF his native place. The draft came
back within week protested. Gen.
RosecraDs made inquiries into the mat
ter, when the Office seeker finally ac-
knowledged that be had no money on de-
pOsit at the time of giving the draft, but
that ne had been in daily expectation OF
receiving his appointment, when he would
be enabled TO secure an advance, and thus.
reimburse the General before he could be
made acquainted with the true situation.
But the appointment was delayed until
the facts could no longer be concealed.He
begged Gen. Roseorans not to expose him,
and said that his necessities had driven
him to the commission OF the act. The
General was very indignant, and refused
TO accept any explanation. He went to
the White House that afternoon and laid
the matter before the President The lat
ter listened attentively TO the Generals
story, and then he said quietly: 81 am
glad you told me this to-day. The nomi-
nation OF the person In question would
have gone TO tho Senate Tomorrow. You
may tell him for me thatI do not wish to
see MIN again" The General did as re-
quested, and the following day the Ohio
man departed for home.

strong resemblance between his case and

CONFERENCE CLASHES.
CONGRESS NOT TO ADJOURN
BEFORE WEDNESDAY.

EaverAI OF the Leading Measures AL
most Certain Not to Become Laws
The Prospect of an Agreement on the
River and Harbor Bill Exceedingly
Gloomy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The conterees
upon the sundry civil appropriation bill
met at 10 o'clock this morning and re-
mained together until O'Clock this eve-
ming, when they adjourned TO reassemble
at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. The
meeting was unexpectedly harmonious,
the last previous meeting having been
characterized by obstinate assertions of
determination on both sides not to surren-
der the points at issue and by many en-
phatic and somewhat personal express
sions of opinion. The impression pre-
walls tonight that brief session to-mor-
row Will result either in an agreement
upon all the iints OF difference or a con-
cusion TO NpOrt back disagreement
upon a few reserved points for further
Instructions, with the probabilities in
favor OF an entire agreement.
THE STUMBLING BLOCK.
The most troublesome remaining point
of difference is found IN the provisions
for the coast survey. The concessions
made by the respective sides to-day are
SAID To be about equal to each other In
amount.
The conferees upon the deficiency bill
will meet tomorrow morning, with pros
pect that their work will be completed
during the day. TIE measure has great
many amendments, which fact entails
considerable labor upon the conierees,
but it involves no important question of
Principle, and 10 therefore not likely to
create a deadlock.
RIVERS AND HARBORS.
The cOnferees upon the river and harbor
fOrtlticatiOn bills will also probably hold
meetings tomorrow, but the outlook for
an agreement upon either is not prOmis-
ing. Whatever the result may be, how
ever, it is believed quorum cannot be
held together alter the sundry civil and
deficiency bills have been disposed of.
The surplus resolution, the Northern
Pacific forfeiture bill, the bill to
repeal the pre-emptOn and timber cul-
ture laws, the interstate commerce bill
and the new naval establishment bill are
the most important measures of general
legislation now in conference, and the
impression prevails that all but the last
named will fail to become laws this ses-
sion.
ADJOURNMENT PROSPECTS.
IL is the general benalt tonight that
the session Will end not later than next
thursday and possibly on Wednesday.
The first business in each house will be
to listen to ana dispose of conference re-
ports whenever ready.
The Senate viii probably devote one
day 10 executive business and the re-
naming time, if there shall be any, to
vetoed pension bills and the miscellan-
eous calendar. 1t is possible the House
may tomorrow reach and act upon the
Senate amendments to the Mexican pen
sious bill and the Brooklyn public build
ing bill under a suspension OF the rules.
II the oleOmargarine bill is signed tO-mOr-
row it is doubtful if quorum of the
House viii remain after the formal an
uOuncement is made.
