DISCREET POLITICIANS.
The Presidents Fishing Tour
Not Void Of Significance.
A MYSTERIOUS CONFERENCE
or Leaders at Fire IsIand-TIenry
Watterson Present alI Night
Private Secretary Lamont
outwlts the Reporters.

New York, July S0.-The Susquehan-
ia has been closely watched since she
took the President on board for signs Of
a political conference. The reporter on
duty up to Saturday night had discov-
erred nothing, but this morning the
Times prints the following from Fire
Island;
More significance than was at first ap.
parent has been attached by some TO the
visit to Fire Island Saturday night OF
fourgentlemen OF political fame. William
Johnson, editor OF the Albany argus,
came down on the night boat in conlpa-
ny with Tax Commissioner Michael
Coleman and Excise Commissioner W.
S. Andrews, Of New York. These three
gentlemen were in the Office OF the Surf
House at o'clock, when Col. Lamont
and Mr.. Stickney came ashore. Col. La
mont conversed for some time with Mr..
johnson, and then lie and Mr.. StiCkney
returned to the Susquehanna. An hour
later Messrs. Johnson, Andrews and
Coleman walked down to the pier, os-
tensibly to breathe the fresh salt air.
The Susquehanna's launch happened
along at about that time, and Messrs,
johnson, Andrews md Coleman seized
the opportunity to inspect Mr.. Stick
ney's yacht. All three got into the
launch and went over TO her.
The fourth gentleman known in poll
tics was even more discreet. Mr.. Henry
Watterson had been seen on the train to
Babylon which connects with the Fire
Island boat, aud the report was spread
that he had missed the steamer and
would stay in Babylon all night. Mr..
Sammi's private yacht, the Zingara,
finally made trip to Babylon shortly
after o'clock, and when she came back,
two hours later, she went alongside the
before coming to the
wharf. This was just about the time
that Messrs. johnson, Andrews and
Coleman went on board from the
launch. Only one passenger was trans
ierred from the Zingara to the Susque.
hanna and that was Mr.. Watterson. 1t
was after II o'clock when Messrs. John
son, Andrews and Coleman came ashore.
Mr.. Watterson remained on board the
nil night.
Mr.. Watterson boarded the 4:SO p. m.
train for New York yesterday ut Patch
ogue, l.. l. Between Fire Island and
Patchogue there is dreary waste Of
waters. On the train reporter aCCosted
Mr.. Watterson. II thought | saw You
get on the train at Patchogue," said the
reporter.
"Well, well, well, Mr.. Watterson ejac-
ulated, with an air OF genuine astonish-
ment, "How you do find out everything,
don't you?"
Not word would Mr.. Watterson say
in regard to the subjects discussed on
the Susquehanna last night, but he ad-
mitted having been on board the yacht.
There is no regular communication be.
tween Fire Island aud Patciogue, and
the only way in which Mr.. Watterson
could have reached the latter point in
time for the New York train was by be-
ing dropped there from tho Susque-
hanna

Well for Nine Days.
JoHNsTowS, NEn., July 3O,-Johu An
derson, who was imprisoned in well
nine days, and was released yesterday,
says that when the boards and sand
closed in over him he was crowded into
box about two feet square and with
not enough room for him to stand erect
he could not get on his knees or sit
down, but had TO stay in crouChing po-
sition during the whole time OF his I'm
prisonment.
"About the first three days." said An
derson, II got alongvcry well, but after
that began to want water badly. The
fourth day, when it rained, heard what
| thought was water slowly dropping.
Feeling around found it, and holding
my mouth open managed TO get about Il
dozen drops of water, which gave me
much relief. | had no difficulty in
breathing until the well below me came
so near being filled by sand occasionally
coming in, caused by the diggers above.
| had breathed the air over SO much that
it had become impure, causing me to feel
smothering sensation, but about this
time the resCuers got near enough to
inc to let in mir from above. BY having
q good supply OF chewing tobacco | did
not suffer so much for food as might have
been expected. From the beginning, l
could hear considerable that was said
and done above. heard the wagon
when it started to town for lumber and
heard some one say, the man is Dead
and the order was given to try topull my
box out. When they began to pull, |
knew there was great danger OF
the boards giving way and crushing me
and for my own safety and to give evil
dence OF being alive cut the ropes and
heard the exciting talk that prevailed
when it was discovered that l was alive.
1t was music 10 me, and from that time
on l was hopeful OF being rescued.
About the sixth day felt something
crawling on my hand, and found it to
be fly. l thought by this an opening

In reaching it to me it became covered
with sand, but no honey ever tasted bet
ter than that wet rug. Soon bottle OF
water and piece OF bread were given

time and began TO gain strength, and by
helping my rescuers the time passed
quicker than one could suppose, When

CIeveIand's Picture au q. a. Il, Radgos.
The Eject to DO Onset.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July SO.-Since
the publication of the fact that the
Democrats were using the Grand Army
badge with n picture Of Cleveland in the
center Of the star, there has been great
deal Of comment among the Democratic
leaders here because they see that the
scheme is likely to work to their detri.
men.. All sorts OF plans have been sug-
gested to offset the evident opposition
which this badge has created in Grand
Army circles, and it seems now that
they have hit upon one which is likely
to prove successful. Within the past
twenty.iour hours dealers who have had
u stock OF the Grand Army badges with
Cleveland's picture as an adornment,
have been supplied with stock Of sim.
liar badges in which a picture Of Harri.
son is used. This is nice little scheme
TO make it appear that the Cleveland
badge was not political trick to steal the
G. A. K. thunder, but inasmuch as il
was offered for sale several weeks before
the Harrison badge OF similar design, it
will hardly have the desired effect.

Congressman Nichols Secs Chance for the

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Representa-

day: "The campaign in the North State
is already in full blast. We have big
State 10 so over, and not IS many rail-
roads rs you have in the North, so it
takes longer to do the campaigning.
From the present outlook l am inclined
to believe that the ProhibitioniSts will
poll vote that will be sad surprise to
Democrats, from whose party they will
draw nearly all their votes. The out
look in the State for Republican success
is really very encouraging, and believe
there is good square chance OF carry

the groom whose efforts TO elope to
America with the Stockport heiress were
frustrated at this port, decamped for
New York by the Cunard steamer
Servia, notwithstanding the fact that he
was determined to follow the heir
css back to Stockport aud nave
her at any cost. He secured an inter

given him by the young lady after he
had cloped. Previous to this he sent
a letter ashore to be posted addressed to
his father in Stockport. The warrant
for his arrest for deserting his family

LONDON, July S0.-M. Herne, editor OF
the Paris lie So!ieI {newspaper}, and a
member Of the French Academy, who is
Sojournng here, stated to-day that GEN
eral Boulanger would probably be de-
feated in the coming election in the De-
partment OF the Nord and that he would
ultimately vanish from public life.
Speaking OF the political situation in
France, he declared that the apathetic
feeling OF expectancy prevailed through
out the country. There was at present
no political parsonage who commanded
the confidence Of the people or even at
tracted much attention.

so closely that he declined to accept ex-
Senator w. B. Roberts, the oil well tor
pedo millionaire, rs bondsman, because
some Of his property was mortgaged, On
the general question, Judge Henderson
said: "lhe preponderance of evidence
against the license is the basis on which
the Court ought to act in refusing Ii
cense, and, on the other hand, where the
petitions supporting the applications
show that license is necessary Us COM
pared with the evidence on the other
side OF the non on-necessity, it is the duty
OF the Court TO grant the license. 1t
is apparent from q careful consideration
OF the act OF 1887, that the question has
come TO this: That it is for the people to
say whether licenses for the sale Of
liquor are necessity or not, and they
have it in their power to procure or pre-
vent the granting Of licenses by proving
the necessity or non-neCessity in dis
trict. The law does not seem to mean
that the determination is to be made
simply on the number OF signatures.
The court is required to take into con-
sideration the number and character OF
the petitioners for and against license,
and, where satisfied FROM the number
and character Of the persons remons-
trating against license, that such IL
Cense is not necessary for the accOmmo-
datiOn of the public and the entertain
ment OF strangers and travellers, to re-
fuse the license"
Judge General Harry White, Of In
diana county, was known to be 80 unal-
terably opposed to the liquor traffic that
no applications for license were made in
his district.
The 7iues has obtained from the
Clerks of Courts OF the several counties
OF the State transcripts from their dock
cts, which show exactly the effect OF the
new law, as compared with the opera |
tons Of the old law during the last year |
it was in force. Following is recapitu-
lation OF the statement:
Number applications for license lSSs~... ll,5go
Number licenses granted lSSS........... L.2l
Number licenses granted 1857. ............ ll,bS
Revenue from license lSS7....o......"...S 9I6,l1D
Revenue from license 1855. ySSj,vG
OF the revenue derived from licenses
issued under the Brooks law the State
receives one-tifth. The balance is di-
vided between the county and city, bor-
ough or township, in which the license
is granted.
In Pittsburgh and in other parts OF
the State, many violations Of the new
law are reported, but the courts show a
disposition to deal so sternly with Of
tenders that it is confidently predicted
will soon be few and far be-
tween.

the moon, and entire force OF Indians
opened fire in the mir, keeping up the

til they were out OF ammunition. When

eclipse, wild whoops went UP for what
they believed to have been their victory.
