LONDON, July9.-The Times st. Peters,
burg correspondent, referring to the
conflicting crop reports from Russia,
says that in some places probably the
harvest will be fair, but that plenty OF
reports, official and private, justify lean
ing toward the pessimistic view. The
correspondent adds that the Russian
government, besides reducing tariff and
freight rates, gives the peasantry the
privilege of free pasture and OF gather
ing mush rooms and fruits in the crown
forests, in order to alleviate their dis
tress. The Exchange GaseB says that
the failure Of the rye croy in Russia will

clustering Scheme.
WASHINGTON, D. O.. July "a letter
has been received by government Off
cial which appears to give color to
the report that revolutionary move
ment is being fomented in one of
our neighboring republics. The writer
says that man calling himself Captain
Q. Annet has been engaged in Norfolk,
Va, in shipping men for treasure
hunt in Mexican watsrs. The captain
said he wanted only seventy-fve men,
but the writer is informed that
he has shipped over six hundred.
Moreover, he has learned that the vessel
which is to carry the party is now
secretly engaged in taking aboard a
large quantity of arms and ammunition
at a port on Long Island Sound. The
writer says he does not want to get
himself in trouble and above all does
not want to fight, and, although he has
signed to 90 on the expedition, he will
withdraw if there is any illegal act in
contemplation.
officers hero are not disposed to at
tach much importance to the commun-
ication, rs they believe that a filibuster-
ing expedition would be conducted with
more caution than appears to be shown
in this case.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 9.-A1r. John

Secretary, has to-day addressed the
following open letter to A. X. Mcclure,
editor Of the Philadelphia Times
81 will not reply to your personal
abuse. 1t proves nothing but your
rage and wounded vanity at being
exposed in a gross historical misstate-
ment.
"You asserted that President Lincoln
opposed the renomination of Hannibal
Hamlin for Vice President. / refuted
that assertion by calling attention to
the written record wherein Lincoln in
his own handwriting explicitly states
tho contrary. You now reassert your
statement, or, to put it in other words,
YOU accuse President Lincoln OF acting
a low political deceit and with his, own
hand writing deliberate lie. The coun-
try will not believe the monstrous ap-
| plication.
at the Baltimore convention as o spec
tator. The chairman OF the Illinois
delegation, Hon. B. G. Cook, had a con-
yersation with me about the course Of
certain dissatisfied leaders in Illinois.
That conversation L reported to the
President.
"The President, after hearing the con-
versation, wrote:
"'Swett is unquestionably all right.
Mr.. Holt is good man, but | had not
heard or thought OF him for Vice Presi-
dent Wish not to interfere about Vice
President. Cannot interfere about plat.
form-convention must judge for itself.
"You assert that Lincoln called you
to Washington and urged the nomina-
ton OF johnson, and that you returned
to Baltimore to work and vote in obed-
ience to that request against your per-
sonal predictions. The official pro-
ceedinGs of the convention show that
YOU were one Of the four delegates at
large from Pennsylvania, the others
being Simon Cameron, W. w. Ketchum,
NJ. B. Lowry. The proceedings also
show that you acted an entirely minor
part. You we're member Of the COM
inittee on organization and presented
its report recommending the permanent
officers, which were elected. Beyond
the presentation OF the report have
mentioned, your name did not give
forth the squeak Of the smallest mouse.
Is it probable that Lincoln among all
these men would have called you to re-
ceive his secret instructions?
at is a matter Of public history that
Simon Cameron was more prominent
and efficient than any other Pennsylva-
nian in the movement in that State to
give Lincoln second term. How was

NIGHTINGALE WON 1T.
The $4,000 Stake Race Finished
Other Winners

HARTFORD. Aug. 27.-In spite of the
threatening weather fully 1000 people
went out to Charter Oak park to-day to
see the races Before l o'clock the two
races brought over the day before were
finished. The $4,000 stake for 2:2O
trotters was won by Nightingale. Little
Albert was quite lame and might have
been shut out if Geers, who drove
nightingale, had wanted to do it. The
time was slow, 1854.
Fred Wilkes won the unfinished 2:25
trOtting race. 1t was very easy heat
for him. Tom Carpenter was second,
Captain Lyons third, Lightning fourth,
Romano fifth, Daphne sixth and Michael
O'Hara seventh.
For some reason Diamond was the
favOrite in the 2:17 trotLing race, but
there were evidently several horses in
the race better than he. Six heats
were necessary to decide and Richard
son finally won it. Frank Dortsch, the
favorite, won the pacing race. the in
sHrance stake of $4,000 for 2:20 PAGERS.
1t is generally believed that he could
have won in three straight heats if
Geers had sent him in to win at first.
The 2:21 class was not started. The
