dispatches state "the name Of ex-

Scott is ambitious to control the
machinery Of his party, and II he

WARRINGTON NOTES.
Reports of Official D0ings at The
Nations Capital.


WASHINGTON, August 6.-George Comp.
ton was today appointed postmaster at
Newhall, Los Angeles county, Califor-
nia.
Secretary Window has received dis
patch from San Francisco, signed by A.
N. Towne, reporting that the Chinese
tourists, who were recently the subject
of discussion by Solicitor Hepburn, have
sailed for China.
1t is understood that the board to
which Secretary Tracy referred the Off
cial report upon the trial of the Petrel
has found, from data furnished, that the
ship came up to all the requirements. II
is probable that the desire of the con.
tractors to make another trial will be
gratified.
w. NJ. Thompson, Chief Clerk of the
office of the Commissioner of Railroads,
left Washington tonight for Boston to
make the usual annual examination of
the books of the Union Pacific Railway.
Then he will proceed to San Francisco TO
make a similar examination of the books
of the Central Pacific.
The forthcoming annual report of Act
ing Commissioner Stone, of the General
Land Office, will show that during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1889, there
we're certified to railroad companies un-
der various grants, total Of 425, ,046 acres
of land, or 404,1 less than the total
certifications Of the previous fiscal year.
There were pending in the General Land
Office on June 20. 1889, railroad selec-
tions under former grants, amounting to

The whole tribe who have succeeded the
Star Route gang must have endured un-
told anguish as they thought of this nine
cents that obstinately failed to material
ize.
But there is worse behind, and more
of it. What plaintive tone runs
through Clsrkson's letter. The failure
of this nine cents to reach it through the
proper channel brought the Depart
ment into a questionable attitude" 1t
was as though, to use an equine simile,
the breeching Of the Postofice vehicle
had snapped, and left it careering down
hill to dishonor and bankruptcy. The
whole story sounds as melancholy as the
destruction of Troy or Carthage. Who
can Withhold his sympathies from de-
partment menaced with sucn dire ills
from the delay of that nine cents to reach
its rightful destination?
And such are the gossamer humbue
and hypocrisy that characterize an ad-
minstration from which better things
were expected! Duplicity and partisan
ship like the foregoing cannot fail to ex'
cite the contempt of people irrespective
of party. McGonnigle is glad to be rid
OF the Office but was determined to make
the venerable representative of the Sixth
District show his hand.

The blythe Caae.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.-Jas. f..
Carr, of Trinity county, Blythe's former
agent in his mining affairs. resumed his
testimony today, and testified that Blythe
always said he was born in Wales but
reared in England. Carr gained the
impression that Blythe was brought
up in Manchester. He thought he had
heard the latter say that he e'would never
give cent to any of his family, except
his sister, and Blythe had said he was
guided in all things by the spirit of his
mother whose name witness understood
was Savage.
l.. H. Varney, who entered Blythe's
employ as general superintendent OF his
estate, identified Blythe's signature on
slip of paper given Julia Perry at the
time he made an appointment with her.
Mr.. Highton, attorney for Alice Dick
inson, stated that he and his client were
willing to admit that Blythe thought
Florence was his daughter, and that up
to the time of bis death he had treated
Ter as such. This, he said, would also
save the Court some time, but other
counsel refused to allow such admission,
and the matter was dropped.

Col. JOSEPH B. BAKER, who is res
ident of Los Angeles, yesterday received
postal card, dated Philadelphia.
July 3Oh, which will please the
enterprising people of the Cuca-
nonga Vineya ard. Hon. William Keith,
who wrote the card, and who is a
prominent citizen of the City of Broth
erly Love, says: cit is meet and right
"that the Cucamonga Vineyard Com
pany should know that the wine sent
"by them to Il. W. Childs to be auc-
" toned IF to aid the sufferers of Johns
town, has given great satisfaction to
" those who bought it at public sale.
9" 1t pleases my own palate as
well as any port wine l ever
" tasted, and l have tasted come
&c very good" Mr.. G. w. Childs
of the Philadelphia Ledger, bought the
first lot put up for sale and Col. Baker
the second. While this WAS gracious
charity, which will be graciously remem-
bered, it is likely to prove an exemplifi-
cation of Christ's idea of bread spread
upon the waters, which would return
before the lapse of many days. No one
who drinks good California wine can fail
to have high opinion of it's quality.
Col. Baker, who is now sojourning in Los
Angeles, is a stalwart Democrat of the
old days, and held important posi-
tions in the Buchanan and Cleveland ad.
ministrations.

CHICAGO, August 6.-Up to the ninth
Keefe was mystery to the Chicago bats
men, but in that inning they hit him
hard. Aided by errors and bases on hits,
seven runs were scored and tie an
nounced. In the tenth, however, a
couple of hits by New York and bad
errors by the home team, enabled the
Giants to score twice, while the Chicagos
could do nothing. Score: Chicago, 8;
New York, 10.
PrrTsBURG, August 6.-The Quakers
had an easy victory today, the home
team, as usual, being unable to hit when
hits would have counted. Score: Pitts
burg, 81 Philadelphia 7.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 6.-Getzein's g
good work, combined with sharp fielding
by the home team, beat the Bostons.
Madden was ineffective. Score: Indian

ingtonians came home this afternoon in

Water Way Convention.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, August 6.-Del-
egates from several States along the lakes
and rivers of the middle part Of the
United States met in this city to discuss
the great commercial interests of the
States in which they live. The gathering
is called "Water Way" Convention.
Judge Solon H. Glough called the con-
vention to order this afternoon, in brief
address of welcome. E. P. Bacon, OF
Milwaukee, was chosen temporary Chair
man. Mr.. Bacon said what was wanted
was not alone transportation on lakes and
rivers, but transportation that would
reach across the ocean to carry the great
products of the Northwest and West to
foreign markets of trade. He said the
temper of the whole gathering was that
the great lake ports should be the west
ern terminals of oceanic freight lines.
Among the visitors were Congressman N.
P. Hagan, of Wisconsin, T. P. Mills,
Speaker of the Wisconsin House, and
President ]. j. Hill, of the Manitoba
road.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, August 6.-Before leav-
ing Buenos Ayres for home United States
Minister Hanna wrote a short report to
the State Department on immigration to
the Argentine Republic, which, he says,
is setting in from all the countries Of
Europe, and the great number of arrivals
is marvellous. They are generally as
sisted by the Argentine Government to
the extent at least of having
their passages paid from the starting
point to their destination in the
interior. The amount thus paid in
March is estimated at 1000, 900, or at
the rate of $l2 900 600 year. Already
this vast influx, the Minister says, is
beginning to tell on the exports of corn.
Last year the country shipped 445, 900
tons of corn. This year it will 60 above
100000 tons. Mr.. Hanna further
says: In the vast fleet of merchant
ships and great steamers coming here
to trade from every European port the
United States flag is barely seen, but it
is hoped and believed that the policy oi
the new administration on the subject Of
encouraged steam navigation between
the United States and South American
ports will successfully solve this embar'
rassm ent."

OLYMPIA, w. T., August 6.-The coz
vention has rejected the section estab-
fishing Railroad Commission. The
railroads IN Washington are now free of
any special control.
The Committee on Public Build
ings reported that the question of
State capital shall be voted upon at the
same time as the constitution is sub
mitted; if no city gets majority Of all
the votes cast, the question will
be submitted at the next gen
eral election, but only the three
cities getting the largest vote
at the first election will be allowed to be
candidates a second time. Once loca.
ted the capital can only be changed by
a two thirds vote of the people.
A section was added to the Bill ot
Rights, granting the right to take land
for use for irrigating bitches. The con-
vention also adopted an article reported
yesterday on impeachment. Delegate
Cosgrove, who is commander of the G
A. R. Posts Of the Territory, has issued a
proclamation to the Posts, urging, in
view of the high rates charged by the
railroads, that no G. A. R. man attend
the Grand Encampment at Milwaukee
except delegates.

THERE is something very peculiar
about the way the State and Treasury
Departments are handling the Behring
Sea matter. AS James G.. Blaine is
above all things q Maine man, and de-
voted to the New England fisheries, it
need surprise no one if he has started a
grand international lettering" act, in
which concessions to Yankee fishermen
shall figure in one scale or end of the
plank against concessions to British sea-
men in Behring Sea. Old Polonius re-
commended his son Laertes to pursue
the oblique line, and "by indirections to
find directions out" The Mephstoph-
eles of the Republican party has
modelled his whole life on this plan.
According to such a programme, the pro-
cedure would be, first, dispute; next q
confab; and, in the end, q compromise.
1t is well to watch the cords.

This is the exclamation that naturally

a pretty picture of American labor; yet
this is the condition of large proportion
of the laborers in what is still the largest
industry of New York-the manufacture
of clothing. "The sweaters" themselves
do not seem to be much benefited by this
arrangement or by the cheapness OF the
labor. They, too, are ground down to
low prices, get little for their goods; the
profit goes mainly to the dealers to whom
they sell, and who distribute these goods
throughout the country.
If We remember Alright, the Express
was one of the journals which clamored
loudest for a continuance of the wal
tariff-not for a decently protective
tariff-but for one which should give
men of the stamp of Andrew Carnegie
all they could in very shame ask. Yet
according TO this extract from the New
Orleans Times Democrat. and which oul
Los Angeles contemporary endorses by
quoting, women are working eighteen
hours day for wages which range from
so cents to So week. We will add, fol-
the information of the Express, that the

point that the appointing power still had
the right of judging as to the ex.soldier's
capabilities and personal fitness before
putting him in place, though, all things
being equal, the soldier or sailor must be
appointed.
