ram Cody on THAT Ride.

LONDON, Oct. 10-Great interest has
been taken here in the German-Aus-
trian ride. The contest is generally
denounced as unsportsmanlike, cruel
to the horses and serving no purpose.
The Chronicle has an interview with
Col Cody (''Buffalo Bill'0 in which
he said that the. riders of the
United States cavalry in the west
eclipse anything of the kind in horse
manship ever done in Europe. He
instanced the ride of the Fourth and
Fifth cavalry in 1879, when they rode
to the relief Of Payne.
The contract for the new revenue cut
ter, William Window, has been award
ed by Secretary Foster to the Iowa iron
works Of Dubuque, Ia, at their bid OF
500, 500. The new cutter will be OF 400
tons displacement and ITO feet long.

Partridge, the great Chicago wheat

bushels for May, and Il rise of one cent
means a loss Of 100000 It's danger
Gus position-particularly so when all the
brokers on Change are after the little
plunger's scalp, and he knows it. Know
ing it, PardriGge started out Saturday
with a determination to down the crowd.
His well-known brokers were in the pit
selling cautiously where it would have the
least effect while his emergency brokers
were buying. There is vast difference
of opinion as to the amount of short wheat
odd Hutch's' successor has on hand.
Some put it at 5O,OOO,OOO bushels, while
Others say it is less than 10000, 600 bush
els. All agree that it is very large and
the SPECTATOR himself puts it at = ,O0O, 0G0
which is high price for him to admit
under the circumstances. The best post
ed brokers say hei in the hole for 1000
600 at least.
81 know the crowd has it in for me, ="
said Partridge as he nervously walked to-
ward the pit, 'but this bulge can't last.
| repeat what said yesterday: when the
price reaches 81 III get out, but not be-
fore It's going up, and if it does can
stand a little squeeze"
ut is said you are short about 30, Ooo,OOo
bushels" was suggested.
"The people who say it don't know what
they are talking about. The report was
circulated to affect the market, but every
BODY knows it's false. ! am carrying a
line of about 100000 bushels, no more. "
The appearance of Partridge would not
Indicate that he was very hard pushed, but
in this instance appearance does not
count. The Spectator doesn't carry
bulletin of his feelings on his coat tail, nor
EXPOSE his hand to the other players.
There are hundreds i'll the market who
are short, but none to the amount Far

Charged With Burning House Over
Which There is q Dispute as to Owner
ship.
Duncan c. Anderson, who has charge of
the interests of w. G. McGeorge in this
section, was arrested Wednesday night
charged with burning the house OF II
CLAW Stewart. The house burned lies on
the south side of Walkers Ridge and was
situated upon land claimed by both Nc
George and the Stewards. The Stewards
claimed to be in possession and had built
a house upon it, into which h. Clay Stew
art was to move on Wednesday. When he
was about to move in, il was discovered
that the house was burned. 1t had been
seen standing the evening before and upon
investigation Mr.. Anderson was suspected
of doing the burning. A warrant was
sworn out against him and Constable Tate
arrested him the same evening. MIR. An
derson was brought before Squire Fergu-
son about nine o'clock Wednesday night
and the case was continued until three
o'clock Yesterday evening.
The title to the land upon which this
house was built has been in dispute tor
some time between the Stewards and Nc
George. The Stewards claim under
Commonwealths grant and McGeePge
claims to have bought the land under a
decree of court. A suit is now pending
lin the Circuit Court of Wise county to re-
scind the patent under which the Stewards
claim Some time since the Stewards
| cut and sold lot OF timber from this
Hand. and when suit was threatened by
McGeorge they agreed to allow the !aoney
to be deposited subject to tho action OF
the court.
The preliminary trial came up before
Squire Ferguson yesterday afternoon
and a1Ser the introduction OF the first
witness by the prosecution the defend
ants ATTORNEYS said they would admit
Ethat Mr.. Anderson had burned the house,
( Int that he had pulled down the house

Il. The prosecution, however, continued
70 introduce testimony proving that Mr
Anderson had been guilty of the burning
claiming that the house was standing
when burned.
When the prosecution closed Il. G. BIC.
Dowell, one sf the attorneys for the De.
fense, made motion that the warrant bt
saismissed on the grounds that the prose
tcntion had failed to prove the house wai
the property of the Stewards. This mo-
l.tion was overruied. "

outs gave Senator Hill a big boom and at
the same time expressed plainly their
disapproyal of the attempt to foist Mr..
Cleveland upon the party in the coming
Presidential fight
To-day, when an attempt was made to
apply the Cleveland inuzzle, the regulars
kicked, and had it not been for Gen. Col
Inns diplomacy the Mugwumps would
have been overthrow. AS it was, al
though the machine delegates were elect
ed, they will go to Chicago uninstructed,
and two Of them are known to be luke
warm toward Cleveland Their prefer
ences are for some other candidate.
1t had been the intention to give Cleve-
land such hat-footed endorsement that
it would be virtual instruction to the
delegation to support him first, last and
all the time. The Hill, or anti Cleveland
faction, was ignored until the day before
the convention. The Cleveland men were
in full control, and they took good care
that every avenue of attack should be
fully guarded. Their ticket was made up
some time ago and all the Cleveland in

John W. Cummings, of Fall River, was
the chief representative put forward by
the Hill faction, and in the convention
to-day he received nearly six hundred
votes, or nearly third Of the delegates
present. This was big surprise to the
Cleveland leaders, and it opened the eyes
Of the rank and file, who had been led to
believe that Cleveland was the only man
on earth. Tie black eye which Cleveland
ism received in Rhode Island contributed
largely to the revolt against him in to-
days convention, for it was felt to be un-
wise to endorse candidate who had al
ready been beaten in what was virtually
his first fight.

Harrison Has Not Earned Ren0mina-
ton-The Lesson from Rhode Island.


tion-The Lesson from Rhode Island.
SCRANTON, April S.-Col. Robert g. In
gcrsoll who arrived in this city this after
noon to lecture, chatted freely upon the
political situation.
"Will there, in your opinion, be any OPP
position to the nomination of Mr.. Harri
SOM" was asked Of him.
"1he probability is that several gentle
men, not real statesmen, will see that
their names are before the convention.
There is feeling, growing stronger |
think, against The second term. As long
as Presidents can have q second term
they will sacrifice everything to secure
that, and they will distribute patronage
where they think it will do the most good.
| think for the average man in times of
peace when no great question is agitatlng
the people, one term is enough. Mr.. Har
rison has had good luck and ought to be
satisfied, He took five cards in his polit
ical draw and got four aces, and with
such good fortune he ought to be content.
His Administration has been good in the
main, and he has given fair satisfaction.
But do not think he has earned re-
nomination, and do not believe he will
get it. He certainly has only few ele-
ments of popularity, and cannot expect to
get vote outside of his party, That man
from Maine may loom up in spite of with
drawals and destinations.
"If the Republican party wanted to
make real good square fight, with pro-
lection for the issue, then Mckinley would
be the man. Harrison would better keep
an eve on the man from Ohio. Mckinley
represents something and stands for
something, and his nomination would
mean a splendid struggle for principle
and victory for the Republican party
"What will he the effect of the Rhode
Island election?'
at will be and is good. 1t shows
that the people believe in protection;
that free trade is not the policy of Ameri-
ca. 1t shows or tends to show that the
country is Republican,. The elections
everywhere show that the Old Party is
alive and we'll, ready for the struggle OF
80, and that it will again carry the flag
that means victory"

A THE DIFFERENCE.

Last Tuesday, after the news of the
monumental steal of the Young Re-
turning Board reached here, a promi-
nent Fosterite, in conversation with a
McEnely man. was deprecating the
fact that MeEnery men denounced the
outrage in such unmeasured terms and
openly proclaimed their determination
not to submit.
"Why," said the Fosterite, 'if you
don't vote for Foster, it will be equiva-
lent to voting for a Republican for
Governor, and we may again have Re
publican rule"
at may be so," replied the Meme
ryite, but it is reported and currently
believed, and it has not been denied,
that you Fosterites here will vote for a
Republican for Judge, and have made
a compact with the Republicans by
which you expect to elect your indie
pendent local ticket with the aid Of
Republican votes. Now, tell me,
what's the difference between voting
for a Republican Judge aud voting for
a Republican Governor"
Our Fosterite friend has not yet an
swered that question.
