TILE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Various Views Expressed by Canadian
Journals 0n the Ministers Reception.
ToRoNro, Sept. 3.-The Empire, n Gov
crnment organ, referring to the Aylemcr
demonstration, says: "The speeches Of
Sir Hector Laugevin, Sir John Fhomp-
son and others all breathed n splendid
spirit, honorable TO Canada, and stimu-
lating to its people. The sugges-
ton that the duty OF the hour is
to perfect our commercial communica-
tons SO that Canada will be self con-
tanned and in all respects independent
OF the United States, will be heartily ap-
proved by every true Canadian"
The Globe, the leading opposition pa
per, says: 'Thc London Times inter
prets the recent utterances ofthe Domin-
ion ministers as signiiying that far from
flinching from retaliation Canada courts
it. There could be no more dangerous
misrepresentation Of the attitude Of the
Canadian people. It is true that they DO
not finch under the wanton Aneri-
can threat, but to say that they court
retaliation is an abominablc pervGrsiOD.
1t is high time for the Canadian inter
ests that would suffer most from COM
mercial non-intercourse, to take mea'-
ures to choke off the Dominion ministers
from any more such dangerous rant {
that by which they have caused tue
Times TO represent Canada us courting
retaliation.

SEQUEL TO THE SHARON CASE.


Two People Get In JaiI-An Interesting
Finale To Scandal.
ST FRASCIsCO, Sept. 3.-The celc-
bntcd Sharon divorce case, which has
occupied the attention of the Pacific
coast for Il number Of years, eliminated

resulted in the placing OF Sarah Althea
Sharon. now Mrs. David S. Terry, in jail
for thirty days and her husband, Judge
Terry, for six months.
The Supreme Court OF California, n
few months ago, announced its decision
in the case sustaining the decision OF
the State Superior Court, which declared
that Mrs. Terry had been legally mar
riel to the late cx-united States Senator
William Sharon, and that she was enti-
tied to Il portion OF Sharon's estate. 4

this decision by the State Su-
prcmc Court the executors Of

ins to be marriage contract between
them, to be forgery and directing its
cancellation and enjOining its use in any

DRESSED As A BOY
On Visit to Her Brothers-strange Freak
of n Baltimore Lady.

On Visit to Her BrOthers-Strnnge Freak
OF Baltimore Lady.
BALTIMORE, MD., Sept. 8.--AIiss Ida
Tracey, shapely brunette OF seventeen,
and daughter OF Policeman Tracey,
left her home early yesterday morning
disguised as boy. Her parents knew
nothing OF her esCapade until nearly 0
o'clock, when her mother went up to
her room to call her. On the floor Of
her bedroom lay magnificent suit OF
brown hair, which the young lady had
cut OIL. All OF her feminine attire re-
mained in her room, but further invest
igation showed that an entire suit OF her
brothers clothing was missing, and so
was $25 in money. Mrs. Tracey was
completely prostrated by the disap'
pearance OF her daughter, and re-
fused to be comfortGd by the
other members OF the family. No clew
Of her whereabouts was obtained until
her brother returned home to dinner.
He then informed his father he had
often heard Ida say she would like TO ga
to Chicago to visit her brothers, but she
supposed she would never get the
chance. This led Mr.. Tracy TO think
she had really started for the Lake City.
He accordingly notified the authorities
OF his daughters disappearance, and
they had kilograms sent over the West.
She WIS caught at Cumberland, where
the officers boarded the weSt.bound eX-
press from this city. The officers had
but little trouble in finding the young
lady with whom they seemed 20 be aG-
uuaintcd. She wore neat suit OF boys
clothing, and had the appearance OF a
delicate young man.
After being arrested she did not at
tempt to deny that she was the young
lady they were after. She was taken to
iuil, but refused to give the officer who
made the arrest any OF the particulars
how she came to be dressed in the boy 8
clothing, but after being in custody OF
the Sheriff, gave him the facts. She
states the reason she left her home in
the manner she did was because she has
two brothers in the city OF Chicago
whom she wanted TO visit, but was
afraid il she asked her parents they
would not allow her 10 go. She told u
lady friend OF hers, who, she says, sug-
gcsted the boys clothes. When arrest
ed on the train she had n ticket for Chi
cago. She said when she concluded to
wear the boys clothing she started to
cut her own hair, but found she could
not get through with the job herself,
so she went to a barber and had her haiI
dressed like boys. After being placed
in the female department OF the jail
Mrs. Sheriff Hopping furnished her wit!
Il ladv's dress, and she seemed to enjoy
the situation, and laughed ut the way
she had got away from Baltimore. Hel

the action Of the Senate in putting un-
necessary amendments on the treaty,
which would have fully accomplished the
purposes Of the pending bill, and by
Senators Stewart, Vest, Dolph,
Mitchell and George. The latter made
long argument to prove that the Re
publicans were Irresponsible for the
Burlingame treaty and for the rejection
of various measures to restrict Chinese
immigration. This argument was trav.
ersed by Mr.. Mitchell. He declared
that Mr.. George in asserting that the

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
A Fruitful Subject OF Discussion In III
United States Senate.

A Fruitful Subject OF Discussion In the
United States Senate.
WASHINGTON, d. O., Sept. SIN the
Senate to-day Mr.. Vest denied Mr.. Cul'
lom's statement OF last week that the
Pension Examiner who had been sent at
his (Cullom's) request to Illinois in
1884 to engage in political services was
entitled to leave with pay. He was en-
titled {M. Vest said} to seven days leave
with pay, and had received twenty.three
days leave with pay. lie also sent to
the clerks desk and had read u letter
from Postmaster Judd, Of Chicago, de-
Tending himself against the charge of
allowing the employees OF the Chicago
postohice to be taxed for the Democratic
campaign fund, stating that it was with
out his knowledge and consent, aud that
he had no control over Mr., Eshers
movements and 10 responsibility for his
conduct.
Mr.. Cullom sent to the clerks desk
and had read an extract from Clpv, lands
letter OF acceptance Of 'S4, and Onr from
a speech OF Mr.. Thurman in 1872 in ia
Yor OF the one term principal as respects
the Presidency.
Mr.. Plumb referred To Mr.. Cleveland's
$1,000 subscription to the Democratic
campaign fund, and said lie (Plcmb) did
not object to it even il it were coupled
with the insinuation from authoritative
sources that the example should be fol-
lowed by all the officers under Mr.. Cleve-
land. But he did object to the snivclling
and Canting hypocrisy that accompani-
ed the whole performance. That was
the Republican objection to it. 1t was
because this administration pretended
to be holier than any other administra-
ton. II was because it said that 1t was
not doing the very things which it was
doing. The Senator from Missouri
(Vest) had thanked the Lord the other
day that he was not Mugwump. That
meant that he was not u civil service re-
former That meant his belief that to
the victors belong the spoils, The Sen.
ator objected to Republicans doing that
which nc knew Democrats were doing.
Mr.. Vest denied that the administra-
ton had acted on the principle that to
the victors belong the spoils. The De-
partments in Washington Outside OF
the specified civil service positionsl were
to-day filled with Republicans. In the
Treasury Department S24S,000 was paid
in salaries 10 Republicans as against
$20G, 900 to Democrats. When he Vest
called upon Democratic head OF bu-
rcau, he was compelled to talk in whis-
pers, lest the Republican clerks should
hear what lie had to say in regard to his
party and its interests.
Mr.. Plumb believed that the number
OF department clerks who would vote
the Republican ticket this year was less
than the number who would have voted
for the Democratic ticket under Mr.. Ar
thurs administration. He declared that
this Democratic administration had treat
ed the public service not as public
trust, but as private snap.

Of $1,000 miles in track and $750,0O0,0OO
in the amount invested in rail
roads. The growth OF the iron
interests has had a marked effect in
stimulating railroad construction and
next year the South will make 100000
tons Of pig iron against S97 ,S0l tons in
1880. The traffic in coke, ore and iron
developed by this business will furnish

The Republicans Show How Their Oppo-
nents Are Working In Indiana.
New YORK, Sept. 3.-By sending an
enormous amount Of campaign litem-
ture printed in German to Indiana and
flooding the State with it, the Demo-
crats have strong hopes OF carrying the
State. From the German Press Bureau
Of the National Committee reports come
daily, which II true, might cause the
Republicans to lose all hopes OF success
here. But these reports are undoubt-
edly manufactured in the brain OF the
man in charge Of that bureau, for they
are in violent contrast to those which
have flooded the German Bureau OF the
Republican National Committee. The
quantity OF mail which comes to General
L..W. Habercorn daily, from Indiana,
show that in place OF being discouraged
the Republicans there have every reason
to feel confident that the State will go
Republican and by n good majority.
MANY Germans who have heretofore
voted the Democratic ticket have de-
clared for General Harrison. General
Habercorn said yesterday that Thurman
had few friends among the Germans,
but they are all old friends, however,
and he is not gaining any new ones from
the younger class OF voters.
While the German Press Bureau is
manufacturing incorrect reports from
Indiana and distributing them among
the voters of the East, the English Press
Bureau Of the Democratic National Com
mittee is manufacturing correspondence
for the Western papers. The latest out
is long special dispatch, dated New
York, August %, which has appeared in
large number OF the smaller Western
papers. This dispatch atiirms that the
Cinnamon OF New York have organized
for Harrison and Morton, and have al
ready subscribed $4,000 toward the
campaign fund. The intent Of this mat
ter is readily seen. Fearful lest the con-
trast between subscribing so to the aid
Of the sufferers by the Charleston earth
quake, and the payment OF $4,000 to
the National Democratic Committee
would lose Mr.. Cleveland thousands oi
votes among the liberal.minded voters
Of the South and West, the managers OF
his campaign prepared this article and
distributed it among the Western pa
pers. It will undoubtedly act rs q
boomerang, for when the West and
South find that they have been SO im
posed upon the very idea OF fair play
will compel them to reject further state
ments OF that nature.

CIXclNNATI, o. Sept. 3.-The attempt
of ravisher to assault two little girls
caused sensation in Eden Park yester-
day afternoon, the citizens living on the
fringe Of the resort turning out in a body
to hunt down the villain. Many OF fthe
Justly enraged men were armed, and had
they caught the fellow scene of vio-
lenCe might have occurred. The attempt
was made about half-pnst two O'clock.
when two little girls, the oldest about
thirteen years OF age and the other about
two years younger, were attacked by a
strange man in the upper part OF the
park. Seizing them by the arms, he
dragged them into u clump Of bushes,
The Oldest began to scream, and he
drew large pocket-knife. Brandish-

she desisted, he would cut her throat.
This had the effect OF increasing her
fear, and she redoubled her screams and
her efforts TO get away. After strug-

ceeded, and, breaking out, ran down
the hill with her companion TO the row
of houses owned by Emery brothers,
facing the upper end OF the park.
There, almost breathless, she gasped
out her story to couple OF gentlemen.

town thoroughfares, and then withdrew
to garden in the suburbs. The Anar-
chists were in the procession, and, de-
claring themselves to be carpenters, they
were permitted to retain the place they
had quietly slipped into. At the gar
den they unfurled their flag, and re-
fused to acknowledge the stars
and stripes. The committee in
charge induced them finally to
put their flag away. When the commit
teemen turned their backs, however,
the Anarchists seized their emblem OF
blood and waved it aloft triumphantly.
Immediately they were attacked by a
hundred honest workingmen whose in
dignation was beyond control. The flag
was tranpled under foot and one An
archist after another went TO the ground
in the fight that continued for ut least
ten minutes. All the Anarchists but
five escaped the three detectives who
were present, but those who got away
were bleeding and lame and will hardly
appear in public for some time to come.

They were locked up atthe Forest street
