the Senator's statements, be tells Us
IN the haste with which he rushes to
his conclusions that no Democratic
constituency in the South ever elected
q Union soldier to either House Of
Congress. | do not know that it is
material to answer that assertion; but
Ike most Of the material that enters
into bis late utterances, there is not
particle Of foundation in fact for the
statement. The State of Texas sent
TO the Halls of Congress term after
term, and until recently, a distin-
guished Union soldier during the war
in the person of Governor Hancock.
The State of Arkansas sent here in re-
cent years from a Democratic consti-
tuency a Union soldier during the war
to represent her in the other House
of Congress. I would like to know
whether the late governor of Virginia,
Governor Walker, was not Union
soldier and an honored Representa-
tive in the other branch OF Congress
from an overwhelmingly Democratic
district in the Old Dominion T?
Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER. He was not
soldier.
Mr.. BLACKBURN. I thought that
he was.
Mr. RIDDLEBERGER. He was a
Northern man who came to Virginia.
Mr.. BLACKBURN. He certainly
was loyal man during the war.
Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER. He came to
Virginia during the war.
MIR. BLACKBURN. + should like 10
know why the Senator from Kansas,
when he was studying that record so
closely and Numbered SO badly when
he undertook to state what the facts
were, did not remember that within
the last six years, and for four years,
the State of Kentucky kept contin-
uously in the other House Of Congress
a distinguished Federal general who
was shot out of his saddle more than
half dozen times, and he came there
always as the candidate of the Demo-
cratic party, and elected in Demo-
cratic district.
do not care to follow the Senator,
for time forbids, through all the in
accuracies of his utterances. but this
much do propose to say before
close. Mr.. President, party man as
am, partisan as ] confess myself to be,
| do sincerely trust that | may never
find my term OF public service pro-
longed to that day, nor my life extend
ed to that hour when, without war
rant, without TACT to support me, with.

who whilst living were honored by all
honorable men.

The cry about high tariff wages"
and "Pauper labor" is delusion and
a snare. American labor is paid less
for mining ton OF coal or for max
ing yard of cloth than even the
cheap labor of Germany, miserably
paid as the Germans are. These
truths should be published and studied
throughout the length and breadth of
the land.

the umpire is an old, old story, but to-
day Walsh's decisions were outrageous.
-Four thousand people hissed him when
he declared Morrissey ont after he had
scored because he had not touched third
base. The St. Pauls fielded excel
lently, but were able to make but five
hits off Stratton until the ninth, when
rank error by Werrick and two hits
saved shut-out and brought in two
runs. Shenkle. of the Milwaukees,
pitched for st. Paul, and was batted for
fourteen hits and eighteen bases. He
struck out three men and allowed two
bases On balls. Reilly, in left field,
carried off all the fielding honors. In
the seventh inning he ran seventy-fve
yards, captured home-run fly in his
left hand, and, with magnificent throw
to Kemmler. threw out White, who at
tempted to score from third. In the
second inning two men were out when
Morrissey hit for two bases to center
field, Pickett followed with single,
,MOrrissey scored, Pickett going to sec
and. Umpire Walsh called Morrissey
out at third and the side was retired.
Manager Barnes refused to play
unless the umpire was changed and
his men were called in from the field.
Ten minutes were spent in an unsuc-
cessful attempt to get another umpire.
Rather than forfeit the game Barnes
put up with Walsh. Kemmler was the
first batter in the ninth, and hit gave
him first. Murphy hit safely and Car
roll made the first hand-out. Shafer hit
to oWerrick, who threw badly to first,
the ball bounding over to the right field
fence. On this misplay Kemmler and
Murphy scored. Corbett was hit and

From Bluff to Bluff.

Special to the Globe.
LIE SUEUR, Mimi. April S.-The rise
in the river here yesterday in twelve
hours was six feet, the most rapid rise
ever known. During the twelve hours,
from evening until this morning,
there was a rise of of two feet, and
for twelve hours, ending at o'clock
this evening, there was a rise of only
ten inches, so that the river is now
nearly stationary. The flowlands, from
bluff to bluff, a distance of over mile,
are completely submerged, and the
water is now foot deep in the Cos
grove Live Stock company's barn, which
abnts the railroad track. There is no
serious loss yet, except the sweeping
away of fences and the little remaining
hay in stacks. The river is now within
four feet of the highest water mark,
and within about five feet of the floor
of the iron wagon bridge.

WANT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
Congress Petitioned for Aid for
the Veterans.

the Veterans.
New YORK, April S.-An organiZa-
ton of veteran soldiers and sailors,
which terms itself the Veteran Associa-
ton of the Regular Army and Navy of
the United States of America, has re-
Gently been agitating the matter of Sc
curing bounty land and means for inn
proving the same from the United States
government. The organization held
a meeting to-day, delegates from vari-
Gus Grand Army posts being present,
and adopted petition to congress. In
the petition it is urged that thousands
of veterans would like to take and cul-
tivate bounty land, but are unable to do
so unless financially assisted by the
government. The petitioners urge that
congress pass an act emitting all honor
ably discharged soldiers and sailors to
the assistance needed to enable the vet
Grams and their families to reach, occupy
and cultivate bounty land. And in the
event of the passage of such bill the
government will be asked to locate the
lanes, lay out highways, build schools
and furnish each settler with small
house, team, agricultural implements,
seed, etc. In return the settlers would
repay the loan to the government
within ten years with interest at per
cent, and would pledge themselves to
serve in the militia of their several
states. A letter to President Cleveland
was also drawn up and adopted. 1t is
of similar tenor and urges the desirable
ity of having the bounty lands occupied
by native Americans, instead of by
foreign pauper immigrants.

SULLIVAN DEAD GAME.
Boston's Pet Pugilist Extolled by
Harry Phillips.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, April S.-Harry Phillips
and Jack Barnett arrived to-day on the
Etruria from Liverpool, where they left
Sullivan, who will sail thence for Bos-
ton on the 18th inst. Phillips denies
the stories about Sullivan'S drinking.
The champion drank brandy during the
fight with Mitchell and for two days
after it by order of his doctor, but not
before or since.
SHOW about the fight?" Phillips was
asked.
"Well, we couldn't win. That's about
the size of it. | was disgusted. Sulli-
van wouldn't fight anything but the
SquareSt, most gentlemanly up-and-up
fight, and didn't seem to want to win
unless he could do so cleanly and
scientifically. The referee wouldn't al
low any claims of foul, though Mitchell
spiked Sullivan so that his shoes and
stockings were torn to shreds and his
legs from the knees down looked as If
they had been riddled with shot,"
81 should say the referee wouldn't
allow any FOULS" put in Barnett, who
acted as Sullivan'S umpire, and whose
duty it was to make claim when foul
occurred.
''Sullivan knocked Mitchell clean out
in the third round, and the EngllShman
didn't come to the scratch for fifty-five
seconds, thirty-five seconds more than
the rules allow, after he was carried to
his corner"
Sullivan did injure his arm so Sc
verely in the fifth round that he could
not hit with it afterward, said Phillips,
in reply to the reporters question.
''HOw did he come to knock his man
down with it, then, in the fourteenth
and fifteenth roundS?" was the next
question.
ga child could have done that" said
Phillips. mitchell was altogether too
slippery about going down. The merest
touch, and flop he would go on the
muddy earth. Another thing, Sullivan
was the most careful man L ever saw
and again when he could have
put his whole weight on Mitchell, he
even put out his hands to keep himself
off the man. Sullivan is a dead game
man. | think more of him than | ever
did and shall star him through the
country as soon as he comes back. He
never even told his seconds of the in
jury to his arm in the fifth round. He
let me know by whispering to me l
mustn't put any more money on him.
Everybody knew he was a hurricane
fighter, but many doubted his staying
qualities, which are now beyond ques-
ton. | offered $4,000 even money on
him two rounds before the finish and
couldn't get taker."
Phillips said that Sullivan will fight
Kilrain or any man in the world. any
rules, in sixteen-foOt ring. He
doubted if he would meet any more
men with bare knuckles. 1t was brutal,
and gloves made an equally good con-
test. Phillips stayed two weeks longer
in England than he meant to, trying to
get another match on between Sullivan
and Mitchell or one between Sullivan
and Smith. Mitchell seemed deter
mined never to fight again, and Smith
gave the excuse that he was under con-
tract with Genet's circus.

F. Haywood, who has been three years
in Vienna studying medicine, returned
to Boston last Saturday. Since cOmplet-
ing his studies Dr.. Haywood has been
travelling ON the continent, and passed
the larger portion of last winter in Flor

talked with Mr.. Blaine, who is now liv-
ing there.
'How about Mr.. Blaine?" asked the
Herald representative. us he as ill as

'sMr. Blaine is not sick in the sense of

piled the doctor, "but he is far from

betes, which will progress to fatal
termination. Why, he has lost twenty
pounds of flesh inside of two months.
When he went across last June he was
a plump man, weighing nearly, if not
quite 200 pounds. Now he is shriveled,
bandy-legged old man, who will not tip
the scales at 100 pounds. His face is

Special to the Globe.
MANKATo, Mimi, April THE flood
has caused greater excitement to-day
than at any previous time. The ice
gorge below the city moved out, allow
ing the water to subside slightly, but it
has since regained its former mark and
is still rising, though the current re-
mains open. The Minnesota is gorged
about five miles above the city,
and the mass of ice and drift
debris may at any moment
be hurled upon the river bridge. The
breakwaters above the bridge are under
several feet of water, and drifting trees
and logs strike the bridge and have to
be cut loose The bridge and hill about
the city have all day been covered with
crowds of people watching the spectacle
of drifting ice and debris, and the turbu-
lent downward sweep of the now mighty
Minnesota. The stream is now from
one and a half to two miles wide in
many places. North Mankato, compris
ing tract of nearly 200 acres, and con-
tanning perhaps 300 families, is entirely

kato is in like situation. Boats are
being used to-day in rescuing those in
danger. Nc loss of life has yet been re-
ported, but such loss, as well as an
ENORMOUS DESTRUCTION
of property, will if the stream con-
tinues to rise. The LIE Sueur, Waton-
wan and Blue Earth rivers, the waters
of which are poured into the Minnesota,
are higher than has been known before
for many years. Many bridges and
property have been destroyed along
their courses. The Milwaukeeroad is
still unfit for use, as much serious dam
age has been done it by the floods. Rain
is reported up the river, and there are
yet some indications of rain here. The
very warm weather has caused the
small streams to pour vast quantity of
water into the Minnesota, and it is ex-
pected to rise much higher. If the Cot
tonwood breaks up during the night and
lOOSenS the ice between here and New
Uim, we may look for great devastation.
The Minnesota bridge is in dangerous
situation, and is frequently shaken
from end to end by logs as they are
hurled against it. The people are max
ing every possible preparation to meet
the worst if it comes. If the bulk of the
water from the Blue Earth and its trib-
breaks above here the city may escape
further loss, but a rain storm would
render this impossible.

SharD'S Body Buried.

New YORK, April S.-The remains of
Jacob Sharp, over which funeral serv-
ices were held last evening, were buried
to-day in Greenwood cemetery. A
hearse, followed by seven carriages,
drove up to his late residence before s
o'clock this morning. The casket was
One of the carriages was filled with
floral tributes, and his widow, his
widow, his grandson, daughter and
other relatives and few very intimate
friends seated themselves in the other
carriages, and were driven to the ceme-
terry through the almost deserted streets.
The early hour at which the burial took
place was chosen to avoid the attention
of the curious public.
