The common council tonight adopted a
resolution not to abandon the encampment
preparations on account of the actions of the

by assurances Of big attendance from all
parts of the country and the attitude OF

THAT NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
An Answer to the Objections Of Prof.
= Brush Of Yaie.

WASHINGTON, July ia gentleman, IA
miIiar with university matters. has written
the following letter to friend in Boston:
"What is the matter with you in Boston,
making such circus of your own mistakes
In the matter of plan for national uni
versity? The letter recently sent to the
President. on which alone the report was
based, happened to see in the office of the
NewYork World, from which the report was
sent out. 1t was then on its way to the
President. 1t was written by one of the
most strenuous opposers of all the schemes
that have come up for making national
university In the ordinary sense at Washing
ton. l can't undertake to give here the
scheme designed to work out the ideal Of
Washington, of a meeting of the best youth
of the country, for certain influences of
common university life at the Capital, but
think L can give some idea which will at
least check such absurd objections as that of
Prof. Brush of Yale. Let me suppose that
Profs. Brush, Brewer and Verrill, of the
Yale Scientific School, are giving certain ex-
ceptionally valuable courses of lectures to
classes of forty each, and that elsewhere
throughout the country are enough more to
make in all 400 students competent to make
the best of such lectures. Then, suppose
that for next year, those professors should
come with these lectures to Washington, and
have here the whole 400 together, with per-
hans 200 to 600 more, who would pay for
tickets to these courses, out of the great
number of Washington residents who are
here in the season from all parts of
the country, and with still other 500 to 1000
persons who would specially come for ten
weeks of sucl superior instruction, would
Prof. Brush have the face to call this licens-
ing few professors to 60 around and kill
their game?' This is the essential feature.
The rest of the scheme is ON lines intended
to put absolute control from first to last in
the hands of representatives of the united
governing and teaching bodies of the great
universities united in this work, as perfectly
charter in existence, and the government
having no other hand in it than the gift of
its charter and the paying of its expenses,
professors, students, buildings and ALL"

HIRING STEAMBOATS,
To Garry Cattle from American to
English Ports.

CHICAGO. July 15.-ArraDgements are COM
pleted for the expectation of an unusually
large number of cattle within the next three
or four months. Nebon Morris, heavy
cattle dealer of this city, has secured all the
vacant room on all the outgoing steamers
from New York for Liverpool, Glasgow and
London. for two or three months. J. Il.
Hathaway of Boston and his syndicate have
engaged all the room on the steamers OF the
Warren line, from Boston, for July. August
and September, and Meyer Goldsmith of New
York has engaged the same line for October.
Nearly all these cattle Will be sent forward
from here aud some will go from Kentucky.
The reason of this heavy export movement
is the low price here and the shortage OF the
European cattle crop and consequent high
price there. Export cattle are very much
dearer than a year ago.

weather Crop Bulletin.


The weather-crop bulletin Of the New En-
gland Meteorological Society, in co-spera-
tIon with the United States Signal Service,
for the week ending Saturday, July 18th,
1889, says "The average temperature dur
ing the past week was very near the normal
in New England. The average precipitation
was about normal There was great def
cheney throughout Maine and slight def
cheney in Massachusetts. Nowhere 10 Maine
was there any rainfall during the week, al
though the weather was continually threat
ening. Excessive precipitation is reported
from stations incentral and southern Rhode
Island and Connecticut. Light, drilling
showers occurred at frequent intervals, in
Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachu-
sets during the first five days. In Connecti-
cut and Rhode Island light rains occurred on
Tuesday and Wednesday; on Thursday
there was heavy shower. during which
about 1.30 inches of rain fell. The complaint
of unfavorable weather is general through
out the district. The wet season has caused
grass to grow rapidly, maturing several
weeks earlier than usual, but it cannot be
gathered. That which has been allowed to
/ stand is becoming over-ripe and is depreci at
ing greatly in quality. 1t is impossible to
gather what has been cut, and in some places
it is rotting. Oats are rusting everywhere
in New England, and as the crop is matur-
ing rapidly it may be seriously damaged.
The weather has been favorable for the
grow til Of corn and potatoes; the latter, in
few localities, are rusting."
Reports were received from Maine towns
as follows: West Jonesport, not good hay
weather, potatoes doing well; Winslow,
crops generally look well, timothy looks
well; North Belgrade, hay crop will be
above the average; Brunswick, most crops
need rain. corn doing well.

HOME OF RED MEN.
Workmen at Franklin Park, nHass.,
Discover a Cave.

Boston, July 15.-Franklin Park, in addi-
tion to its other attractions, can now boast
of cave, which was discovered on Satur-
day by gang of men who were digging
through hill near the further end of Will
liams street. The opening to the cave is but
IS inches wide Once within it, however, a
man can stand upright. The opening ex-
tends downward Is or 20 feet, and the pas
sage then takes turn to the left. The cave
contains evidences of having been inhabited,
for, although the sides Of the opening looked
like the work of nature, within the walls are
smooth as if chiseled; a series Of small
boulders extend the whole length of the cav
ern. suspended from the roof apparently by
mechanical means. Several small tools of
antique pattern, ten small hatchets, such as
werea used by Indians, and an iron. ar
rowhead were found in the cave, which
would seem to lend plausibility to the theory
that the cave was formerly inhabited by In

The start was made at 11.45 a. m, from
Half Way rock. Schooners and cutters Of
the first, second and fifth classes sailed ovec
a course of S6 "a miles. The first class got
away in the following order: Fortuna, May
flower, Sea Fox and Merlin. The Burgess
latest designs showed remarkable speed
soon after crossing the line. The Sea Fox
and Mayflower closely followed the Fortuna.
On board the Merlin was Edward Burgess.
The Merlin gradually overhauled the For
tuna and soon was in the lead. After run
ming out about twenty miles and finding no
stakeboat, Mr.. Burgess concluded that no
boat was put in position, and the Merlin i'm
mediately put about and beat home as did
all the others, not finishing The second
class sailed over the same course and fol-
lowed the Merlin. The race was declared
off and will be sailed by the first and second
class boats tomorrow.
In the fourth class, the Clara had no COM
petitors, having walkoyer The fifth class
had 10 finish. Next came the forty footers.
The Gorilla was the first to get away with
the Verena close at her heels, followed by
the Pappoose, Minerva, Chiqulta and Alice
The Verena soon 0verhauled the Gorilla and
held the lead nearly two-thirds Of the course
when the Minerva showed her speed and be-
gan to close the gap exhibiting remarkable
Windward work The Minerva came to the
finish line winner.
In the special class the Saracen, Kathleen,
Beetle, Evelyn and the fast catboat Harbin-
ger contested. The Kathleen was the first
to get away, leading the Saracen by few
seconds. The latter soon went TO the front.
On the run home, the Harbinger ran close in
shore and the Saracen and Kathleen kept
outside, the wash of the sea staying their
progress The Harbinger soon took the
lead and won the race. In the seventh class
the Ramona was the only starter and did not
finish. There was plenty of wind over the
whole course. The corrected time is:

MARRIED IN A CAB.
Miss MuIcahy's sensational story
and It's Sensational Sequel.

MONTREAL, July 15.-In March last Miss
Mulcahy of this city. created great sensa-
tion by alleging that she was married in
cab to man named Husson, who died al
most Immediately after the ceremony. Hus-
sons body and all connected with the affair.",
except herself, mysteriously disappeared d.
Subsequently she swore out warrant for
the arrest of Mathew Huntley, and an un-
known woman, who, she alleged. resepibled
herself, on charge of thretening her with
death If she did not don her Widows weeds
and declare herself Husson's widow.
No arrest under the warrant was made until
Sat, t,irday, when Miss Mulcahy met In the
street here young lady named Tibbets, of
Fredericton, n. B., and declared to the po-
lice that she was the unknown woman.
Miss Tibbets was arrested and taken
to an out of the way station,
where an unsuccessful effort was made TO
extort confession from her. Her friends
did not discover her whereabouts until SUM-
day afternoon, when bail was immediately
provided. The case will come up
tomorrow, when an alibi will
be established by Miss Tibbetts' S friends.
Miss Tibbets graduated a month ago from
the University Of New Brunswick with
high honors. She was going to visit friends s
in Boston, Montreal and Duluth when ar
rested. The treatment she has received has
excited the greatest Indignation.
