The city government is severely criticised
Crime is declared to be organized for of

Weaver's Determination.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Gen. Weaver,
who is one of the most aggressive men in
the house in favor of the reduction of the
surplus, referring to the possibility that
no measure of reduction would be agreed
upon by the two houses to be sent to the
president, said: "In that case | shall re-
commend to the president that if con-
gress adjourns without passing some bill
to reduce the surplus and to relieve the
people, the president shall at once con
vene congress in extra session to proceed
to pass some bill which will accomplish
this purpose. [ do not know whether the
president will do that, but I shall GER

No Indications of Opposition.

New YORK, July 26. The following
from the Mail and Express "Talk of the
Street" has interest:
The committee appointed to ask for
proxies for the next annual election OF
the Northern Pacific is in the same in
terest as that of last year, and it is not at
all likely that there will be any impor-
tant changes in the board. There are as
yet no indications of any opposition, and
the dominant party now is a great deal
stronger than it was at the last election.
The Northern Pacific begins the year by
drawing for redemption $154, 900 Pen
d'Oreille, and 900 sinking fund. The
company has, however, the right to issue
an equal amount of first mortgage bonds
against bonds redeemed It is intimated,
and that very directly, too, that Mr.. Ar
mour is not at all pleased with the use
that has been made of his name by specu-
lators to further their own interests.
They have endeavored to convey the i'm
preston that he was buying st. Paul re-
Gently and also to account for the recent
decline in the stock by the fact that he
had sold out and taken his little profit.
Those who have done business for Mr..
Armour know that he is not in the habit
of speculating for one or two points, and
that he has quite enough business to at
tend to at present without going into
Wall street speculation.

The Sioux Refuse.

ST. PAUL, July 24-A special from
Standing Rock agency says the excite
ment on the reservation was intense to-
day. A few Indians seemed inclined to
listen to what the members of the com
mission have to say, but most of the
chiefs refuse even to take the circulars
printed in Sioux explaining the terms of
the treaty. Chief Gall, who took lead
ing part in yesterdays Indian council,
says tonight he will not sign, and no
chief except Running Antelope can be
found who will admit that he can be in
duced to sign. The Indians are holding
another all night council. Most Of them
refuse to talk until Sitting Bull returns.
He is expected tomorrow. A strong eff
fort will be made to induce him to sign.
The half breed element is active against
the treaty. Chiefs Mad Bear, John Gras,
Big Heart and Gall have been selected by
the Indians to speak for them tomorrow.
The argument of the Indians is that the
white men have already more land than
they can use

scenery of the Park. all returned to the
city much pleased and feeling all the better
for the time passed in such pleasant
company in such beautiful place.
Following is brief sketch of the Rev.
gsntleman's life, lack of space preventing
full review:
The Rev. Mr.. Peschau is a native Of
Germany. He Was born in Clausthal.Zsl
lerfeld, on the Hsrtz mountains, in the
kingdom of Hanover. In 1853 his parents
came to this country, settling first in Bal

where the aged father, Henry Peschau,

years in the College and Theological Sem.
mary at Gettysburg, Pa. His first charge
was at Nebraska City, Neb fifty miles
south of Lincoln. His second field of la
bor was Nashville, Tenn, and his present
field at Wilmington is his third pastor
ate. As an educator he has also
had considerable experience. For three
years, he was Superintendent of German
in the public schools at the city of Evans

the High School. At Nebraska City, Neb.,
be was Superintendent of the public

much for his system, and he broke down
with an attack of typhoid fever in 1881,
which nearly ended his lite.

The seventh month of Tishri referred Ia
above is in reality the first month of the
Mosaic or ecclesiastical year, while the
month of Nissan, the first in the Jewish
calendar, is regarded as the beginning OF
the legal year. To morrow, therefore, OF
rather beginning at dusk this evening, will

Jewish residents of Wheeling and else
where While many of the old Jewish
customs and traditions are d;sregarded by
American Israslites, -Hoshons, New
Years day, and the succeeding holiday,
Yom Ripper, the day of atonement, are
still observed, and faithfully in most in
stances, as the two hottest DAYS of The
year. Residents of towns not large enough
for synagogues usually make pilgrimages
to large cities on these two days. As q
consequence the synagogues are always
crowded
In orthodox Jewish circles two days are
observed, the first and second days OF

day sufficient, and accordingly New Years
day will close with shutdown Thursday
"It is day of blowing of trumpets unto
you," is one of the New Years day com.

In orthodox synagogues the horn of the
