 Greeted With Chssrs

DETROIT, Mich, August 5.-Thls has been . proud day in the history of ths Grand Army of the Republic. It has wit nessed the grandest parade in the history of the organization, and has made the twenty-fifth or silver epcampment an oc. casion of maguifcence and grandeur sur. passlng the fondest dreams cherished by It's humble founder. Dr.. Stephenson of Hi. nois, twenty five years ago For six hours today. under bright sun, 40, o0) veterans tramped ssurdily over tho line of march, and such was tho inspiration of the moment that even the feebest of tue maimed and crippled comrades found themselves ado. quate to the ordeal of the five miles march.
 Tbe firing of salute from the United States steamship Michigan in tho harb Dor announced to the waiting veterans at 10 90 that the command to move had been gwen by the commander in chief. When Cen eral Vetzey appeared before the reviewing stand the vast concourse of people clustered about the campus and cheeped themselves hoarss. The General refined up his charger, however, and passed. Gen eral Alger and the Detroit Post. his es cort, passed by him and drew up before the reviewing stand,
 
 eral Veazey looked on with sratified smle, then lifting his hat gracefully from his brow, he allowed his horse to pass with slow steps before them
 As he passed the reviewing stand every occupant arose to his feet Foremost was the great Ind an fighter General Miles of the regular army, who had been leaning over. bareheaded, with his white gloved hands knitted above bis sword hlt General Veazey reached the end of the post, and the Detroit veterans uniurled their flag, Schremser's Band struck up lively air and tho crowd cheereo once more. General Veazey then rode 10 the stand and dismounting en cred his box in front. The Detroit Post passed by and the parade continued towards the massive war arch. Reside the stan of tho commander in chief thcre were on tho reviewing stand Secretary of War Proctor, Secretary of the Navy Tracy, General Miles, Assistant Secretary of the Interior Bussey, two or three Governors and half. dozen past commanders iu chief.
 Promptly at the hour indicated, with n military precision which showed the volunec so diers had forgotten none of their early traiains, the posts assembled on tho line of march
 The Illinois veterans headed the column. Wisconsin followed, carrying tho stuffed war eagle Old Abe" The war bird was greeted with tremendous cheers along the line of march. All of the states were represented, Michigan and Oh being the strongest Tue former state had l5, GOO mar tk,i 1 atsI h la. 0

NEW YoRK, August 3.-Rumors were anoat to-day h the Lawyers Club. the Manhattan Club and the Ulion League Club, to the effect that tbe dispute over the will of Samuel J Tilden had been ami ca . by settled. According to the rumors 90 DOT cent. of the estate to go to the heirs and 50 per cent to the city. This will i've the Tslden heirs good deal more than they would have received had the will been sus tained. Since the death of Mir. T lldeu the estate has increased largely in value, be- cause it consisted principally of real es- tate. and this is worth about GIG. 900, COO If the heirs were paid out Of this according [ to the terms of the will as interpreted by the executors the sum of 6. 0o0, 900 would be devoted to the building of a free public library. The case is now pending In the Court of Appeals on an appeal from the general term. If the general term decision is sustained the city of course, will be de- feated.

CHARLESTON. w. Va, August 4.-The sensations dispatches sent out from Cauettsburs, Ky, about the murder of the Brumfie!d family in Wayne County. West Virginia, by drunken Italians, are without foundation, tho facts existing only In the imaginative brain of the cores. pondent A spacal to tho Gazette from agentleman iE Huntington, whose veracity is beyond question, says that the mail carrier from Wayne C. H. to Huutin gton, who passed Brumield's houss ths morn. ing, says the entire story is . fabrication Other parties from ths same locality also say that there is no truth in 1t. Tho psoplo of this end of the State are indignant that such absolute falsehoods have been given so much publicity.
 The dispatches referred 10 in tho above were sent out two or threc days ago from Catlettsburg. They alleged that fifty Italian laborers. while drunk. forced an entrancs to the house of William Brum. field in Wayne County, West Virginia, and murdered Mir. and Mrs Brumheld and their i've children. A second dispatch, supp.emen ting the frat fiction, was sent out yesterday. asserting that in . tign | betwssn the Italians and the SherifY's posse eight Italians had bssn killed

From His Woodland Retreat.

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 3.-A letter has been received at the Interior Depart ment from Secretary Noble. It says nothing about when the Secretary will return, and makes no reference to the Secretary's intentions. It is nevertheless considered rather significant, because instructions are contained that certain official papers shall be forwarded to the Secretary in the woods. When Gen. Noble left here he directed with some emphasis that no official papers should be sent to him. He left his address with one man in the Interior Department, and placed upon him an injunction not 10 make known the address except in @ matter of grave importance. Now letter has been received from him in which he calls for certain official papers. This prompts the impression at the Interior Department that he Is coming back to do some more work It is also interpreted ss meaning that Gen. Noble has found the complete relaxation advantageous to his health. While plead ing utter ignorance of the story of resignation and affirming, for publication, disbelief in it, some of Gen. Noble's subordinates talk quito differently among themselves, and with those to whom they feel they can express their real opinions. One high official has sad:
 While the Secretary may have had some idea of taking such a step while ago, 1 do not believe that he is now of that mind. believe he means to come back and go ts work again"
 The news that Gen. Noble had offered his resignation was brought to Washington from Cape May. It arrived here simul- taneously with the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee. It was a subject of discussion among those gentlemen and 1t reached tho public. But that is only part of the basis for the statement The Pre,i. dent in conversations with several different persons upon important. matters pending before the Inter.or Department has discussed them in such . way as to leave the impression that a change in the head of that department was among the near DOS abilities. There is hardly anybody in Washington who docs not think there is "something" in the report of Gen. Nobie's resignation. There arc many who think the resignation was offered and refused by the Presi iient. with the understanding that Con. Noble was to try the effect of . good long rest before thinking of any such step. And thore are those who believe acceptance of the resignation is only . question of . few weeks. and that tho President is even now considering tho question of . successor to Goa. Noble

LOUISVILLE, Ky, August With quiet election Kentucky has elected full State ticket, adopted Constitution and chosen Legislature to enforce 1t. The State officers elected are:
 Governor, John Young Brown, of Hend- erson.
 Lieutenant Governor, NJ. c. Afford, of Lexington.
 Attorney General. W. J. Hendriok, of Flemiugsburg.

The new Constitution has carried with a sweep, and the majority for It is placed anything from 50 900 to 100, 900 It has not lost in . single county and in some casss the vote in it's favor has been practically unanimous. That 1t would carry has been conceded ever since the Couricr-Journal withdrew from active op- position, but the heavy majority is a great surprise to it's opponents. They have in cluded some of the best known and sblest public men in the State, including Senator Carlisle and Gov. Buckncr. Gov Bucaner though delegate in the Constitutional Convention. said he could not bring himself to vote for it's work. The new Constitution suppresses lotteries, equalizes taxation, provides for the Australian secret ballot and introduces reforms in the government of cities.
 The Peoples party has boiled only about oo,0oo votes. These have come mos tly from the Republican party and from the cities While the Alfiancs was supposed to be back of the Peoples party it has done very little for 1t on account of dissensions which arose last January, and which caused tbe retirement from the Alliance presidency of s. E. Erwin, the Peoples party candidate. The Alliance has devoted ilse.f to the Legislature, and probably has practical control of that body, and so will control the revise on of the laws under tue new Constitution. In only few instances has the Alliance put out candidates In opposition to the Democratic nominees, but it has taken care 10 control tho Demo cratic nominat ons. So while the Leg . a. ture will be nominAlly Democratic 1t will have strong Alliance affiliations and tendencies. This may make it's interprets- tion of the antitrust the anti corporation and the railroad commission features of tho now consultation very nearly what the Alliance leaders des "a.

 On joint ssssion the Legislature will stand about ss follows: Farmers and Farmer. Democrats, 73; straight Democr4ts 50; Republicans, Is,

 1nR Some Effect

rhoss Aiiiesos Circulars Said se he Hav-
 ing Some Effect.
 WAsHINaroN, August 5.-Thc Farmers' Alliance has not succeeded in It's efforts to "bull" tho wheat market Readers will remember the circular which was prepared at Alliance headq darters at St. Paul for night ago advising farmers to withheld their deliveries of wheat until the price had advanced to el. .35 . busheL A eorrcs- pondent talked today with W H Aver tho secretary of the Alliance Burea of Information, regarding their circular.
 ''Itis little early yet to judge of Its ef- feet" he said. 'I have not received enough answers to make any sort of an estimate. l notice by newspaper dis patches however, that farmers are hold ing their wheat in Kansas and elsewhere. see also it is claimed in some quarters that tho circulars were put out by the bulls of the wheat market They vera nsver connected with the grain spectators at all They were sent out as . suggestion purely, and as the information contained in them seemed of value to farmers they were indorsed by this bureau.
 Some of the Allianc, people claim that they already notice a good result from these circulars. Soon after they were sent out wheat jumped from s3 to 9a cents bushel It has since dropped back to s7 and Ss cents. They look for further ad. vance very soon It seems to be fact also that the bulls" have taken advan taye Of this Alliance trust and are booming the market. The Alliance has no objection 10 the assistance of the ''bulls" What is wanted is a high price for wheat, and it is claimed the Alliance farmers of the West are willing to hold their products until the desired figure is reached.
