THE WHITE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The corner stone
OF the White House was laid 100 years
ago Thursday, on October 13, 1892, a little
less than 800 years after the discovery of
America by Columbus. The commission
ers had on the previous 18th OF March adj
vertised for plans for presidents house,
and on the 10Th of July they held meet
ing in Georgetown and examined the
plans that had been submitted. As is a
part of local history now, they accepted
the plans of James Hoban. a Dublin archi
tect, who had made designs for the pres-
dents house, framed, IL Is ssld III the
model of the mansion OF the duke OF
Leinster at Dublin, the palace OF royalty
i'll Ireland. Tie stone was IN part quar-
ried at Aqua Greek and brought
to wharf, built for the purpose,
near the foot Of Seventeenth street, but OBJ
stinate David Burns, as Washington called
him, refused to allow the wagons TO pass
over his ground in carrying the stone TO
the site OF the White House. he abused
Mr.. HoDan roundly, aud If the city hall
had been built, and present legal fashions
then prevailed, he would have gotten out
an Injunction, but 1t Is doubtful IL there
was tnen judge nearer than Upper Marl-
boTo or Annapolis, so despite burns op-
position the stone was carried through bis
place and the White House rose. No me-
mortal OF the ceremonial Oh LAY 4i5s5 the cor
ner stone has been discovered. Il IS GER

had in 1871 laid one corner stone of the
District OF Colum Dla, and who IN A1gO as
sisted IN laying the corner stone oI tue
capitol, did not participate IN laying tie
corner stone OF the " LIte House. Il Was

Special Dispatch TO the Daily Eagle.

epeC1al Dispatch 10 the DAILY Eagle.
LARNED. Kan, Oct. l5.-Franklin B.
Dawes addressed large gathering of Re-
publicans at The opera house tonight.
Seated on the platform were Senator Rush,
Hon. W. c. Edwards, Henry Booth, j. c.
Strang and Chairman Adams.
Mr.. Dawes initial bow was one of conf
ience, and his audience caught the in
spiration and were with him from the be-
ginning to the end. 1t was mastery ad-
dress, delivered in a convincing, master
full and pleasing style. He told the
Pawnee Republicans a secret, which, in
measure, buoyed up his hearers-for who
ever heard of Pawnee brave with hope in
his heart unless there was a silver lining
with an Office in it, The speaker said that
he was given authority to tell the people
Of the county that in Kansas and in
She nation the Republican party
would be successful in November.
The speaker stood upon the plat
form of true epublicanism--protec
and declared that in its perpetuity rests
the safety, prosperity and continued happi-
ness Of the people OF our country. Mr..
Dawes ridiculed the policy, the teachings
ana the leaders of the Peoples party, and
declared that Moliie Lease was the best
man In the outilt-the master mind, the
power behind the throne. His only refer
ence to the Democratic party was to show
the insincerity of Thaddeus Stevens in his
opposition to the exception clause in the
old green back note, and to attack Grover
Cleveland's conclusions on the tariff. His
tribute TO the Union soldiers was superb
and fired the hears of young America with
renewed patriotism and loyalty to the
cause of the Union.
In conclusion he drew comparison be-
tween the founders and champions of the
Republican party, with Washington, John
Adams, Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, Daniel
Webster, Henry Clay, Garfield, Hayes and
Harrison ON its side, and the Peoples
party. with Ignatius Donnelly, Mollie
Lease and Jerry Simpson holding its ban
ner-asking his audience with which set OF
men they wished to be identified. He
withdrew from the platform amidst
storm of applause.
The Peoples party had a large and en-
lhusiastic meeting at the court house at
the same time. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Buffalo Jones of Garden City
and Stephen Allen, candidate for associate
justice on the Peoples ticket Both speak
ers created a favorable impression among
their followers, and seemed gratified at the
large audience that turned out to hear
them.

AN ENGLISH STORM.

LONDON, Oct. l5.-The storm that set in
over northern England, Scotland and
Wales the night before last threatens to
cause as much damage as some of the
phenomenal gales and rains that passed
over the country last autumn. Reports of
loss of life by shipwreck are beginning to
come in from various places. Much dam
age has also been caused by floods in
various parts of the country. At Durham,
which is nearly surrounded by the river
Ware. the water is very high A railway
causing heavy loss, and further damage
is apprehended. When the bridge fell a
freight was just going on it, and the en-
gine and loaded vans went to the bottom
of the river. The train hands escaped by
jumping.
The storm is also making itself felt in
the channel. The Deuxgamis, u French
lugger, has been blown ashore on the
island of Guernsey. where she broke up.
All her crew were drowned.

- GOULD AND THE POSTAL.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15-Ths report that
negotiations have about been completed
for the transfer of the control Of the Postal
telegraph to the Western Union persists
| in remaining in circulation in Wall street.
| in spite of the disclaimers of Jay Gould
and persons connected with the Postal
| company. The current belief that there is
something in this report is due no doubt
to the peculiar wording of President
Green's s official statement submitted at the
| annual meeting of the Western Union
stockholders last Wednesday. In speak
ing OF the proposed increase of the capital
| stock of the Western Union from sS6, 2O0,
900 to 800, 0O0 DIR. Green said: THE
charter stipulates that the lines shall be
extended by the sale of capital stock and
not otherwise" And further along in his
report he remarked: mo definite dispo-
sition Of the proposed stock has been de-
termined upon. II the stockholders at the
proposed meeting, called for October 20:
give the necessary authority, the board OF
directors will determine upon such dispo-
sltion of the new stock AS shall be for the
best interest of the company"
Quite naturally Wall street men regard
Dr.. Green's language as indicating that
the Western Union people propose TO pay
for the Postal Telegraph property with new
Western Union stock.
Mr.. George J. Gould says that he knows
of no negotiations looking to the absorp-
tion of the Postal Telegraph company by
the Western Union.
Mr.. John I. Leary. member of the
executive committee of the Western Union
Telegraph company in an interview with
IA representative OF the Associated Press.
said, in answer to Il question as to whether
the Western Union had purchased control
of the Postal company: There is not one
word OF truth IN the story. 1t has been
made out of whole cloth. We are not
even negotiating for the company"
An official of the Postal company said
that the story of the absorption of their
company is threadbare. and wonders why
ii new one has not been invented. He says
that there are two reasons why the report
is not so: First because the Western
Union company does not want to buy;
and, second, because the Postal will not
sell.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15--NothiDg is known
here of the reported sale of the Postal
Telegraph company.

KEEP OFF THE ENEMY,

A foe who turks in ambush Is more
dangerous antagonist than one who at
tacks us in the open field, and for whose
assaults we are, in measure. prepared.
That dangerous enemy to health. malaria,
must be encountered fully armed. Its
thrusts are sudden, unexpected aud dead
ly. and Can only be guarded against with
certainty by fortifying the system by ii
course of defensive medication. The >urest
defense against chills and fever, bilious
remittent, dumb ague and ague cake, is
Hostetter's Stomach Btters, which is also
au eradicator of the most obstinate forms
of malaria which resist the action of ordi-
nary specifics. and the virus of which re-
mains in the system even when the more
violent symptoms are subdueh. Consti-
patton, liver complaint, dyspepsia and
kidney troubles are always relieved by this
genial remedy.
