MINISTER TO GERMANY.
William Walter Phelps Appointed by thu
President To-day.

Mr.. VIM. Walter Phelps was given very
pleasant surprise by the President to-day. He
called at the White House with Mr.. Blaine this
and to report in person after his successful eff
forts in the settlement of the Samoan difficulty.
The President has been greatly pleased with
the success of that mission and especially with
the part Mr.. Phelps took in it. He determined
upon way Of showing his qualification. Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Phelps were received alone,
and after they had chatted pleasantly for q
little while the President handed Mr.. Phelps
commission which was lying on his desk,
signed sealed, and complete. The commission
read:
civilian Walter Phelps, of New Jersey, to be
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary of the United States to Germany"
MIR. Phelps, though young man, has served
several terms in the House OF Representatives.
He was one OF the most accomplished members
on the floor. He was the leading republican
member OF the foreign affairs committee and
was always regarded as the best authority in
the House on diplomatic affairs. His speeches,
on whatever subject, usually filled the galleries
OF the House and secured unusual attention
from members ON the floor, and went far to-
ward influencing the fate of matter discussed.
For some time he has been spoken of as likely
to get the German mission, but he had no idea
this morning that the President was going to
hand him the commission.
Going over TO the Department of State, his
commission was Immediately made out and he
qualified as .. s. minister to Germany. Mr..
Phelps will not proceed to his new post for
some time, but feeling that he has earned
rest and needing time for the adjustment of his
private business, he will 60 to his home in New
Jersey in a day or two

A NAVAL SURPRISE,
Com. Schley Relieved, at His Own Re-
quest, from Duty as Chief of Bureau.

Commodore Schley has, at his own request,
been relieved from duty as chief of the bureau
of equipment and recruiting, Navy depart
ment. and will be given command of the new
cruiser Baltimore. In letter to Commodore
Schley Secretary Tracy acknowledges the re-
ceipt of his resignation, to take effect July 81,
'for personal reasons" which were
fully explained to the Secretary,
and he accepts the resignation. He
expresses the kindly feeling which has
always attended the mutual relations and duties
OF the two. and assures him of his regret that
the intercourse SO pleasantly begun has been
so soon terminated. In conclusion, he says
that if the commodore has any choice as to
his immediate future he will be glad to meet
his views 80 far as practicable, and expresses a
wish for his future success in his naval career
The reason assigned by Commodore Schley
for his retirement from the bureau, where he
has three years yet to serve, is understood to
be a sense of duty and desire to impress
upon the younger men of the naval service the
idea that staff appointments like his own are
not to be held longer than the advantages to
be derived in an educational way can be reaped
The resignation of Capt Schley was a great
surprise in the Navy department and created q
vast amount of gossip.

ANOTHER BATTLE EXPECTED.
Three Hundred Flathead Indians VIII
Resist the Sheriff and Military.

HELENA, MoSr-, June 26.-There has been no
change in the Indian trouble on Flathead reser-
vation. Capt sloan's company Of Montana
militia is at Jocho, at which point 10 600 rounds
OF ammunition were sent on the captains
order. Col Lawson, of Fort Missoula, has
gone to the scene with three companies Of the
twenty-fifth infantry and rations for three
days. A dispatch from Jocho says that the In
dams shot by the sheriffs posse died yesterday,
and that the situation grows more serious fn-
dians from various parts Of the reservation are
Hooking to the scene Of the trouble. The
greatest alarm is felt for the settlers who live
on the borders OF the reserve. At 8 last night
all save seven of the sheriff's posse returned 10
Missoula, leaving the military 10 assist the
sheriff in making arrests. Seventy-fve men
spent the entire day trying to find the Indians
wanted but without success. Three hundred
Indians are camped near Ravilli and swear that
they will not give up the murderers whom the
Indian police and half-breeds are concealing
The sheriff is determined to have them, and II
he makes another trial battle will surely
ensue.

AT JOHNSTOwN TO-DAY.
Resident Physicians Complain OF the
Encroachment of Outside Doctors.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 26.-The resident ply
sicians OF tt . city have complained to Gen.
Hastings Of the encroachment upon their rights
by foreign physicians who are attending to the
stricken district of the Conemaugh valley, and
are endeavoring to build up permanent prac-
tice for themselves. The complainants state
that notwithstanding the fact that they have
lost all their property, &C., by the food. they
are willing to attend the sick free Of charge.
Their complaints are also directed against the
corps OF the Red Cross and Yellow Cross socie-
ties. who, they say, are also very fond Of inter-
fering. The general promised the physicians
whatever aid he could give in re-establishing
them in their business.
DYNAMrrINe THE JAM
at the bridge began very early this morning
The workmen on the drift state that without
doubt many human bodies are being blown to
pieces with each charge. At each explosion
pieces OF garments seen flying in the air
and parts of human bodies are frequently seen
floating away in the river as the dynamited
drift is pulled out into the current This is Maj.
Phillips last day at work, and he hopes to have
all of this pile of drift cleared out before he
leaves, and to that end the dynamite charges are
heavier and more frequent.

DIR. Foster, assistant-surgeon Of the four
teenth regiment, in an official report this morn
ing says: During the past twenty-four hours
forty-nine Of the laborers have been laid up
with symptoms of typhoid fever and other all
ments. Thirty-eight of this number are at

DEL1oArE KISSED DOWN.
A delegate from Hamilton county arose to
second the nomination Of Kennedy. He had
proceeded but a moment when he let slip the
expression "A majority Of the good people of
Hamilton county desired the nomination of
Kennedy" At this point nearly all Of the dele
CATION wheeled arornd in their seats and hissed
the gentleman down. Congressman Mckinley
came upon the platform amid the greatest ex-
preston Of enthusiasm. In q very carefully
considered speech he presented the name Of
Hon. Asa Jones.
Major Mckinley was received with cheers
that lasted two minutes. His speech was short,
ringing, and in the best of taste, and it almost
captured the convention for himself
Gen. X. X. Dawes, of Marietta, was presented
BY Gen. Q. II. Grosvener, Congressman from the
18th district The other candidate is Judge
Joseph ONeill, of Warren county.
The nominating speeches were finished at
1880 and
THE BALLoTINa COMMENCED.
Foraker is putting forth no effort to-day, but
his friends hoped to nominate him on the sec
ond or third ballot. The opposition to giving
Foraker a third term has grown during the
night and morning and his friends we're much
alarmed.
THE FIRST BALLOT
was as follows: Foraker, 207; Kennedy, 127;
Dawes, sc; O'Neal, SO, Lampson, SO; Jones,
s6; Morey, a.; Vance, As; Neil, 81; Gibson, %;
Bushnell /.
There are s29 delegates in the convention,
4l5 votes being necessary to effect a nomins-
ton. Every vote for Foraker ON the first ballot
was loudly applauded, but the convention was
not stampeded. as there was an evident DISPOSE
ton to give ali candidates a fair chance.
THE SECOND BALLOT.
At the conclusion Of the ballot an effort was
made to take a recess, but this was howled
down by the Foraker delegates, and a second
ballot was ordered
Kennedy had quite number of accessions,
and his friends became enthusiastic before the
call was half through. Foraker lost in some
counties and gained slightly in others, SO that
he about held his own.
Before the vote Of the second ballot was an
nounced the break came. Adams county asked
leave to change her vote to Foraker The
widest confusion prevailed, cries for Foraker
and Kennedy being made from every part of
the house,
And Foraker was Nominated
And his nomination made unanimous

District W. G. T. o.; Mrs. NJ. E. Cohen, first

'We, delegation Of the members of the
Woman's Christian Tempera ce Union. of the
District of Columbia, beg leave to call your
attention to a matter which deeply concerns
the inter rests Of the homes Of our city, and
especially OF the young men of the nations
capital We refer to the coming general muster
and weeks encampment of the District militia
in July, under command of Gen. Ordway
Having secured permission of the War depart
ment, through Gen. Schofield, the government
reservation at Fort Washington has been Sc
cured for the accommodation of the encamp-
ment, and the grounds are to be fitted up for
the convenience of the camp. In the details
OF plans for this general muster we learn there
is to be a saloon opened ON the grounds for the
benefit CD of the men who are SO fortunate or
unfortunate az to belong to the District militia,
and though it is said there will be GER
tain restrictions, various kinds Of liquors will
be sold. 1t is further stated that
OF the / 200 men who compose the District mi
litia possibly from 700 to 800 drink moderately
every day, and this saloon is for the benefit of
the guard and the success of the camp. We
appeal to you, Mr.. President, by whom the
commandant of our District militia is ap-
pointed, and in the name not only of the large
body of Christian women OF our organization,
but in behalf of the unhappy mothers Of sons
who are not total abstainers, to relieve their
minds Of this fear and anxiety by indicating
your disapproval of this liquor canteen' ON a
government reservation and the assurance that
Fort Washington shall not be desecrated by the
tolerance of a saloon within its borders"
The President assured the ladies that the
subject should have his consideration and that
he would see the Secretary of War about it.
A similar address was presented by the
delegation to the Secretary of War, who stated
that he would look into the matter carefully.

GENERAL LONDON GOSSIP.
Proposed Memorial to Adam Smith
Divorced Women at Court.

LONDON, June 26.-In unstinted popular ap-
proval the directors of the London and North
western railway are reaping a rich harvest for
justly decreeing weeks holiday and weeks 8
wages to all their employees. The employees
themselves are profuse in public expressions of
their appreciation of this unwonted generosity,
and other corporations will undoubtedly follow
the example set them.
A MEMORIAL TO ADAM SMITH.
American admirers of Adam Smith will soon
be given an opportunity to contribute toward
the fame of the author of the ''Wealth of Ma
tions." movement has Just been started to
erect a suitable memorial to the renowned
economist at Kirkcaldy, his birthplace, and
contributions will be solicited from all nations
The memorial will probably take the form of
hall for literary, scientific and general pur-
poses, prominent feature of which will be a
statue of Adam Smith.
DIVORCED WOMEN AT COURT.
The queen has so far relaxed the stringent
rule against permitting divorced women to en-
ter her presence that such as are themselves
blameless who have obtained divorces from
their husbands are no longer to be excluded
from her court This indulgence caused such
rush Of ladies in this position at the last
drawing-room that quite number to whom
this order gave the entree could not get the
necessary permit, as the queen insists upon
personally investigating each case and reading
the testimony in the divorce court to make
certain that no improper person secures access
to her presence.
RELATIONS OF GERMANY AND FRANCE.
While there seems to be some foundation for
the statement that the relations at present be-
tween the governments Of France and Ger
many ere unusually friendly there is certainly
much truth in the complaints Of the German
press that Germans in Paris are treated very
badly, and the prevailing hatred Of Germany
and everything German Is made painfully man
ifest to them. The French press is largely re-
sponsible for the "Deutschenhetze" and the
Boulangist papers are foremost in the crusade
The landlord Of a very popular cafe in Paris
the other Gay imprudently advertised his Bava-
rian beer. The result was boycott by his
French customers He was accused of being a
traitor, was bitterly attacked by the papers,
and finally was compelled to announce in the
newspapers, very humbly, that he had been led
to see the error Of his ways and that hereafter
nothing even remotely suggesting Germany
would be found on sale at his establishment.
HOMELESS PEOPLE IN LONDON.
Never within the recollection of those best
informed have there been 20 many homeless
people in London. After midnigh they can
be seen lying about on the streets, in alley-ways
and in all sorts Of outof-the-way places. In
such Of the parks a. are kept open and on the
crowded by these homeless wretches trying to
sleep, and in any Of these places 90 great is the
rush for seats that they are all pre-empted soon
after dark, although sleep ct such places must
be out Of the question for several hours after.
