Carl Schurz Declines the Nomination
Dana May Accept.
New YORK, September 2Sth.-There is
no lack of aspirants for S. s. Cox's seat in
Congress. Perry Belmont is the latest. He
resigned from the Fiftieth Congress to be-
come Minister to Spain, and enjoyed that
honor some three months, until his Repub-
lican successor was received at Madrid.
Amos ]. Cummings, the newspaper man,
is also an aspirant, and has written letters
home from the West asking what his
chances are. Mr.. Cummings refused a re-
nomination last fall for Congress from the
Sixth District On the ground that he would
have to pay political assessment of SIS, 900,
which be roundly denounced as blackmail.
He has apparently changed his mind, and
is anxious to serve once more.
The full list of aspirants now comprises
Henry Bischoff, Jr., and Daniel Dougherty,
Tammany men; Perry Belmont and Amos
J. Cummings, Independent Democrats,
and Edward II. McAlpine, Republican.
Carl SchurZ, who a large number of the
voters of the Ninth District hoped would
be their next representative, has reluctantly
been obliged TO decline the honor Mr.
Schurz told the influential committee
which called upon him that he highly ap-
preciated the honor of going to Congress as
a Representative at such time when the
triumphant Inauguration of the great exhi-
bition was SO important to the interests of
this country and this metropolis. but his
engagements with the Hamburg Steamship
Company were such that he could not give
them up. Since Mr.. Schurz's refusal to
take the nomination has become known,
several influential citizens residing in and
out of the Ninth District have asked
Charles A. Dana to become candidate.
Mr.. Dana is in Europe, and it is said that a
favorable response will be received in few

compelled to hold vast accumulation of

Jobbers are only buying from hand to
mouth, snd there is an evident under
standing in the trade to hold orders for
Spreckels until his new Philadelphia re-
finery commences operations.
Those who have given the subject close
attention say this movement is general
throughout the country, and that trust
sugar will only be bought because sup
ply cannot be had from any other quarter.
inquiries from the Spreckels representa-
tives bring out the statement that they will
start this refinery under the most promis-
ing auspices, having the advantage over
the trust of buying the sugar at low rates,
while the process of refining by their i'm
proved machinery is less expensive than
by the trusts old fashioned plants.
They have advance orders ahead of all
possible output, and new orders keep pour
ing in from all quarters. Spreckels has
emancipated the trade from the tyranny of
the trust, and given jobbers and retailers
chance to make living profit.
If the trust could have its way Have
meyer and bis certificates would absorb all
the profits in the sugar business from the
ships side TO the retailers counter.
1t is hardly possible now to sell trust
certificates. They are looked at as a very
sick stock, and it will not surprise the
street if the trust itself is dissolved before
the close OF the year.
LA. a.-On the Stock Exchange this
morning sugar, and the Atchison of course,
still monopolize all attention, and each be-
gan another decline. Immediately after
the opening sugar dropped 8 per cent.
to $S7, and Atchison II per cent. to $34.
There was partial reaction but no ma

Ground.
WASHINGTON, September 2Sth.-Hon. NJ.
Nj. Estee arrived here this afternoon and
took suite of rooms at the Normandie.
He is the first one of the United States del
egates to the Congress of American States
to arrive here, but his colleagues are all
due to arrive tomorrow or Monday.
On Tuesday, October 1st, the United
States delegates will assemble at the State
Department, organize and receive their
final instructions. On Wednesday the
Congress will assemble at the State Depart
ment and formally organize. Later they
will be received by the President at the
White House and be rendered reception
by Secretary Blaine.
On Thursday the foreign delegates will
start on a tour of the country, under the
escort of the United States delegates.
On this trip the Pennsylvania Railroad
will attempt the feat in railroading that
never has yet been accomplished, and will
be an event of unusual interest to every
one even remotely interested in progress
siveness of railroads.
The opportunity was afforded by the
Governments acceptance of the company's
offer to furnish transportation facilities for
the delegates to the Congress. The feat TO
be accomplished is the sending of loco
motive and train of seven cars over the
entire trip without the slightest change
from the original makeup.
The route extends all through the New
England States, the far Northwest, and
down through the central portion of the
United States for total distance of exactly
5,406 miles.
The time consumed in the trip will be
forty-five days, allowing for receptions and
ovations that will be encountered in all of
the large cities to be visited

The sealing schooner Teresa of Astoria
Or, arrived yesterday afternoon from Beh
ring Sea with $50 skins. She was not
boarded by the Rush during the trip, but
on August 2Sth, during the night, passed a
steamer supposed to be the revenue cutter.
On August 9th the schooner Mary Ellen
was spoken, and Captain Alexander Nc
Lean said he was bound for home. Ii is
believed here, however, that the Mary Ellen
has proceeded to San Francisco.
John J. GeddeS. an emplOye of the Ca

ELLENsBuRe wv. IT,, September 2Sth.-
The Republicans held large meeting here
tonight at the Courthouse, and was ad-
dressed by Thomas Brent, candidate for
the United States Senate from the east side
of the Cascades. The speaker, like all who
hitherto preceded him in the campaign,
made tariff the main issue and discussed it
very ably. He expressed confidence in the
Republicans making clean sweep of the
State, carrying the State and legislative
tickets without doubt by large majority.
A large number of prospeofors left Ellens-
burg during the past few days for Swauk
and Williams Creek, twenty miles from this
city, and the scene of the recent rich placer
strike. The season is favorable for pros
pecting and development of work and the
gold fields are extensive.
A trip to the mines can be made in half
a day from Ellensburg.
The new coal fields near this city are
also attracting attention, and claims are be-
ing taken daily. Three well-defined veins,
in width from five to eight feet, have been
freely exposed, showing quantity of coal
far superior to the Roslyn coal, which
hitherto was regarded as the finest on the
coast for all purposes.
The Capitol hight is the absorbing ques-
ton here among all the bricklayers, stone
masons and carpenters, which are very
strongly represented here. They are max
ing an appeal to the Unions throughout the
State to stand solidly by Ellensburg, which
has stood by them.
They declare Yakema is a railroad
monopoly town and that the moneyed in
fuence of the railroad is being used to pur-
chase the votes of mechanics and laboring

MINORITY REPORT.
Why John A. McClernand Filed Sep
arate Opinion.

dTate op11uOHs
WASHINGTON, September 2stk.-John A.
McCIernand, of the Utah Commission, to-
day submitted a minority report The
reason of his non concurrence in the report
of his colleagues is in its general animus,
particularly in its distinction between
opinion and actions as subjects of legisla.
tive punishment.
The existing laws, he says, are working
well. Further aggressive legislation trench
ing upon civil and political privileges
would be injurious rather than beneficial.
No religion was ever finally destroyed by
either armed or unarmed prescription.
McClernand enters upon an extensive
treatise, showing the danger to be appre-
hended from trenching upon religious con-
victions of a people. He concluded by
recommending an amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution ''perpetually prohibiting
polygamy under whatsoever guise, not only
in the States, but also in Territories and
other places over which the United States
have or may have exclusive jurisdiction
He dwells at length upon the importance
of this amendment, and says it would sub
stitute "lasting organic law for legisla-
tive enactment which must cease to oper-
ate with the cessation of an anomalous ter
ritorial condition"
The Mormon religion, he says, purged of
its impurities, will probably survive, how
long he cannot foresee. The ages of that
fanaticism and fatuity, he concludes,
which conceived the inquisition and racks,
which burned Latimer and Ridley at the
stake, which inflicted the massacre Of st.
Bartholomew, and which drove the Pur-
itans, Huguenots, Quakers and their CO.
devotees 10 the cause of freedom from
their native lands to find refuge in the
New World, and to people it with teeming
millions, and to bless it with republican
principles and forms. Those ages have
passed away.
To revive their dark and intolerant
spirit now, in the nineteenth century,
would add another proof and lament that
the course of nations is not upon straight
lines, but in wayward circles, ending where
began and re beginning where they ended.

PURSUED BY FIRE.
An Eastern Man the Victim of Fourteen
Confagrations.

COnuaSraLlOnS.
KANSAS Cry (Mo.), September 2Sth.-A
special from Nebraska City, Neb., says: A
small, ones story frame house in the north
ern part of this city, occupied by William
Van and wife, was destroyed by fire early
Saturday morning, Mr.. Van and his wife
escaping with only their night clothes.
According to Mr.. Vans story, he is fire
haunted man. He has escaped with only
his life no less than fourteen times
When he was a child in Rochester, n. Y,
he was carried from a burning tenement
house lust before the walls fell, burying the
room in which he had been sleeping. His
parents moved to Rome, in the same State,
and hardly got settled down before their
dwelling was consumed, the boy William
escaping in fit condition to become nude
model for an artist.
Two years later, still in Rome, he was
playing with some boys in a stable when
it caught fire and was burned to the
ground. At the age of Is he left home and
went to New York city, and was caught by
a fire on Green street, where he was sleep
ing, sustaining injuries which confined
him 10 hospital for several weeks by bis
leap from wiNdow in escaping.
La 1864 he was working in Colts armory
in Hartford, Conn.,, when it burned, and he
again had narrow escape. Two years
batter he was at Portland, Me-, on that
memorable 4th of July, the celebration OF
which cost that city $4,000 600. He was
on this occasion in the upper story of a
frame house throwing household goods TO
those below, when the brick wall OF an ad-
joining house fell, crushing the one be was
in, falling timber breaking his arm as he
jumped to the street.
Van had been only in Chicago three
months when the great fire occurred in
that city. His next experience was at
Peoria, Ill.,, where be was again caught
while asleep in boarding house, losing all
his possessions. From Peoria he went to
