ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.l
WASHINGTON, August 1.-There is a
good deal of gossip among leading members
of organizations of workingmen here, on
account of the refusal of the President to
appoint William Henry Harrison Webster
Consul to Toronto, Canada, though he was
urged by the most influential politicians of
NeE York, headed by Chauncey M. Depew.
1t appears that Webster is a working man
and nothing more. He is an engineer of the
New York Central, member of the Broth
erbood of Locomotive Engineers, and so
prominent for his faithfulness, probity and
ability as to commend him to the highest
officials of the road, to the people of
his State generally. and especially to the
masses in his own position in life. That he
should be ''turned down." after having
been almost promised the Office, for a
wealthy man like Charles G. Pope, of st.
Louis, whose almost sole Recommendation
was his recital of 'Sheridan's Rice" at a
critical moment at the Chicago Convention,
is thought to be very strange.
While Harrison was here, and could be
seen by Webster's friends, he virtually
promised the appointment of Webster.
Away from these influences, he forgot the
concentrations Of Depew and his associ-
ates, ignored the backing of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, and ap-
pointed the 6ne-louking, wealthy, SOFT
handed st. Louis recitationist.

VERY FAIR HOP CROP.
The New York Growers Are Satisfied With
the Outlook.

The New York Growers Are Satisfied With
the Outlook.
ROME, N. Y, August 10.-Two weeks
ago there was a question as to the outlook
for hops in Central New York, but the week
of good weather has occasioned a great
Improvement in many yards, and,
although the crop is somewhat
short, the quality is good. The effect of
the blight has passed away. Most of the
yards in Madison and the adjoining coun-
ties will yield from two-thirds to three
fourths of the usual crop, whereas some will
only yield one-half. In every case the
Humphrey variety makes the best showing.
and viii yield over 1000 pounds to the
acre. The quality is excellent. The.Cana-
das will yield less than last year.
The growers and all say that the.crop will
be exceedingly good if nothing occurs be-
tween now and picking time. of course
many things may happen before then. The
greatest danger now to be apprehended is
from rust. Although the crop will be con-
siderably short, there are few who expect
that high prices will be obtaired on this ac-
count, unless something should happen to
affect foreign and Pacific slope production.
There are nc. contracts reported, but it is ex-
pected that the prices offered this fall will
range from 10 to 20 cents.

Mr.. PREsIDENT-In presenting my creden-

between the two countries may never be de.
stroyed by the shadow of even passing cloud
of misunderstanding
The Commercial Congress to assemble in

America an opportunity of becoming better ac-

CAUSING EXCITEMENT.
The Patrons of the Giants Enfhusiasiic
About Their Champions.


The Patrons of the Giants Enthusiastic
About Their Champions.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPArcH.i
NEW YORK, August l0.-Baseball is booming
in this town just now, and the few cranks who
lost their nerve when the champions had their
recent run of bad luck are the ones who are
the loudest in their praise over the good work
of the team now When the team left New
York with the Bostons about four games ahead
there were but few but who thought that they
would come back with the lead, but no one
had any idea that the Bostons were going to
get on the slide as quickly as tney 9lo. Inc
weak, yes, wretched showing OF the pean-
eaters in indianapolis has served to send the
New York's stock up. and the few In this city
who have stuck to Jim Harris men have now
given up any hope of their doing better than
second and at the present rate, many put them
as low down at the finish as third.
The Bostons have been classed as cutters OF
the first water by the cranks in this city, but
no matter what they may be called, tnelr down
present outlook the New Yorks have big
sized hold on the flag, and preparations are
being made to give them big send on this
fall.
The news of Manager Phillips insanity was
received in this city with much regret "Hust-
ling Horace" was prime favorite among the
baseball men and no baseball manager ever
met with better reception, and his coming
was always looked forward to with pleasure.
New Yorkers wished the Pittsburg team well
mainly for the sake of Manager Phillips.
The closeness of the Association race may
interest the people of Pittsburg. and a few
facts about the Brooklyn club may not come
amiss. 1t has been asked time and again this
season why the Brooklyn club has not made
better showing The plain fact is it has no
head. Manager McGonIgle is good fellow as
men go, but he has not the will power to han
die ball team, and when he gives an order the
players consider it before they take action. As
for President Byrne, he is good executive
officer, but don't know, and. with his present
amount of work, don't want to know anything
about managing the team. 1t is the general
feeling among the baseball people, both in
this city and in Brooklyn, that st. Louis will
again carry off the honors, and that the best
Brooklyn can do Is to get second place.

Proposed Organization OF Union and Con-
federate Veterans.
CHATTANOOGA, August II. - Great
preparations have been made here for the
entertainment of the Society of the Army Of
the Cumberland, which holds its next an
nual reunion in this city on September 10,
20 and 21. Notice has already been received
from different brigades and divisions of the
Army of the Cumberland to insure the at
tendance of many thousands of veterans of
Chickamauga Memorial Association is to
be organized.
This society has for its purpose the pur-
chase and preservation by the Government
of the Chickamauga battlefield, and max
ing a national park there. A temporary
organization was last spring effected in
Washington, in which participated great
number of veterans of the armies of the
North and South At the meeting there
were present number Of Senators and MEM
bers of Congress. The association has re-
ceived a charter from the State of Georgia,
which enables them to secure the
land embraced in the field by con-
demnation Efforts are now being made to
Southern army, and special rates have been
secured over all Southern railroads OF one
fare for the>round trip. As the attendance
will be very large, it is suggested to those
who expect to be present that they had best
at once communicate with w. j. Colburn,
Chairman, at Chattanooga, who will take
pleasure in reserving accommodations for
them during their stay in Chattanooga.
This will be the first organization ever
attempted of veterans of both armies, and
it is thought it will do more than any other
movement to cement the Union. There is
great enthusiasm in the movement through
out the South, and many of the leading men
have given it their hearty Endorsement.

A NEW INSECT PEST.
The Horn Fly. Which is Doing Great
Damage TO live Stock.

The Horn Fly, Which IL Doing Great
Damage TO Live Stock.
READING, August 1.-THE ravages of a
new species of cattle fly are attracting a
good deal of attention in this country and
are doing considerable damage to
live stock. They settle in great num-
bers around the base of the horns
and at other places where the animal cannot
dislodge them, and bore into the flesh and
bone. The boring into the horns causes
such suffering that the animals rapidly lose
flesh and if they are not attended to death
may result.
In the case of cows the yield of milk is re-
duced from one-half to two-thirds. The
entomologist of the agricultural department.
at Washington, L. o. Howard. recommends
the application of fish oil or pine tar with 8
little sulphur mixed with it, or tobacco dust
where the skin is not broken, and tallow
mixed with small amount of carbolic acid.

Discovery of Rare and Valuable Specimens
Out West.
GALENA, ILL.,, August ia discovery
was made here to-day that will be of great
interest. It consisted of three Government
postage stamps, issued according to law by
the postmaster at st. Louis, for the
State of Missouri, in 1S45, the de-
nominations being two of the 1O-cent
and one of the 20-cent series. These
stamps were issued in 5, 10 and 20 cent de-
nominations, and are among the rarest and
most valuable to stamp collectors of all
those issued by authority of the Government
for use as postage.
J. H. Wymer was postmaster of st.
Louis in 1S45. and gave the order for the
plates to j. M. Kershaw, a local en-
graver. The 8 and 10 cent stamps
are found on two varieties of pa
per. The 20 cent were printed from
an altered plate of the Scent, and are, per-
haps, the rarest stamps known. The stamps
bear the arms of Missouri, with ''St. Louis"
above and "Post Office below, are rectang-
ular in shape. and printed in black on blue
paper.

DICKENS AS AN EDITOR.
The Energy Which the Great Novelist Dis
played in His Chosen Field.
Boston Herald.l

Boston Heraid.i
Dickens is most thought of as novelist,
out his career as editor. if less dwelt upon,
was hardly less distinguished In his service,
first to Household Words and then to AL
the Year Round. Except during his brief
connection with the Daily Neus, he was
never the editor of daily journal; but in
the record. which his son furnishes in the
August number of the English Illustrated
Magazine. of his method of editing weekly
journal and of dealing with his contributors,
it is found that Dickens set up the highest
standard possible and brought all of his in
domitable energy and capacity for taking
pains into the service of his weekly maga-
zine.
He was the model editor in his chosen
field, exacting but considerate, and if his
correspondence with all contributors was as
kindly as it was with the American lady
whose contributions he took in hand and
commented on, his relations to his co-labor-
ers must have been choice illustrations of
his kindness of heart and of the conscien-
tious discharge OF his relations to others.

The Thistle Again.

A special cable from Glasgow to the New
York Herald says: This week it has been
rumored in Gree mock that Mr.. Harry North,
the son of the Nitrate King" is negotiating
for the purchase of the Thistle with the view
of giving her another chance for the Americas 8
Cup. If the rumor proves correct Mr. North
will have the call in the pick of Clyde racing
men, as they are convinced that the Thistle
was not seen at her best at Sandy Hook. The
designer of the Thistle, Watson, has expressed
the opinion that the Thistle's lines are perfect
and that all she wants is a centerboard.

he fears that should the Kalamazoo man be
elected Speaker he would be too formidable
a candidate for President against Alger in

Burrows on the other hand is not en-

Michigan cannot have two such big places
as the Presidency and the Speakership and
he wants to keep himself in the front as the
really big wolverine Republican.
