WoRLr's FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, July Is
Commissioners Tousley. Hundley, Martin and
Golf, who appeared before the board of
directors yesterday to speak for Sunday
closing and the adherence Of the directory
to the old rule, came to the administra-
ton building this morning with no kind feel
ing toward the directors. They intimated that
the commission would today exercise its pre-
rogstive OF passing some resolution and doing
some talk which the directors would not
relish
Messrs. Tousley and Hundley, who have
besa bitterly opposed to the directors doing
as they pleased about q Sunday fair, feel
particularly aggrieved at the wav the
directors treated them yesterday. They ac-
cuse the corporation Of seeking to obtain all
the credit for closing the fair on Sundays and
disposing Of the commissioner protest as if it
came from body or individuals having no ma
tionsl Representation authority or control over
the question.
There is a gulf between the directory and
commission which will never be bridged. and
yesterdays proceedings add to the conviction
in the minds OF many people that the public
usefulness and effectiveness Of the commission
Is confined to the appoinement Of award judges
and the operation Of that department. Of the
exposition.

The State Of the Market.


The following is from the advanced sheets Of
the Financial Review, published today by
Henry Clews Company:
During the week affairs in Wall street have
continued to struggle on against the adverse
monetary conditions, and with some yielding
in the prices Of securities.
The trouble Of Wall street houses with re-
spect to the money market is declining. The
rate Of interest, though still high, Is not so
costly as to raise a serious obstacle to buying.
Not only are the prices of stocks very excep-
tionally low, but the condition of the railroads
Is at present unusually prosperous, making the
inducement to investors one of rare advantage.
The general condition Of financial affairs is
improving, though the progress is slow. There
has been distinct abatement OF the late ap-
prehension, and recovery is regarded AZ less Q
question of fact than of time.
The closing symptoms OF the market are
hopeful The improving tendencies noted
above now show a fuller development, and both
among the banks and on the stock exchange
the feeling "a much more confident than at the
opening Of week. Three movements now af-
ford distinct promise Of important early relief
the return Of currency from the country, the
retirement of clearing house certificates and
the importation of gold. This, with other I'M
proyements in the prospect, il making the
''bears" cautious and encouraging the buying
OF stocks. We anticipate an improving market
from this time forward.

Descendants OF New York Tory Try to
Get His Property.
New YonK, July l5.-The hundred or more
heirs of Samuel Dingee ana Solomon Din
gee. both of whom lived in Port Chester,
Westchester county, in the latter part
Of the last century, are about to take
legal action with q view to recovering
property estimated to be worth about $5.OOO,-
900. Stephen N. Hoye of Brooklyn has been
retained as attorney and will at once take
steps to protect the interests of his clients
1t appears that Solomon Dingee, during the
revolution, sided with the British, and, after
the success Of the patriots, concluded
that Westchester county would be unsafe
for him and emisrated to Canada,
after leasing to various parties for
a term Of ninety-nine years land upon which
it is claimed the village of Port Chester or at
least the greater part Of 1t, is built. Solomon
died In 1886, In the possession Of large amount
leaving no direct heir to inherit his millions.
1t is claimed that the lease of the Port Chester
property ends this year.
Az far as the Canadian property is concerned
there will probably be a hotlegal fight, as the
government is in possession and does not want
to part with it. As far as known the following
is a list of the heirs:
Col s. Dingee of Chicago, Jacob Lozee and
two daughters Of Savannah. Ga; Henry
and Mary Castle of Nesburg, n. T.;
Henry L. Buckley, Charles H. Buckley
and Washington Buckley and Charles IL.
Hubbell of Brooklyn; David ii. Anderson.

A Movement Proposed to Help the
Western Silver Men.
FATALLY HOT WEATHER IN THE WEST.
Fall Of a Passenger Train Over a
Precipice.
DIR. MEYER WILL NOT RESIST.

CHICAGO, July ia Herald special from
Pueblo, Col, says: The more conservative
element Of the people Of Colorado realize that
the first Of the current week accomplished
nothing toward the purpose for which it was
assembled.
Since the convention has failed in accom-
piishing what was desired proposition is on
foot to call another convention, which shall
aim at the pockets rather than the sympathies
of those whom it Ia hoped to convert to the
ideas Of the west.
The proposed convention il to be composed
OF business men. and the direct object which il
the intention of diverting the trade Of Col
orado and adjoining states from the whole
sale trade Of the east to that Of the south.
1t is argued that New Orleans is much nearer
to the Rocky mountain states than is either
New York, Boston or Philadelphia. That is a
seaport centrally located, from which can be
furnished every article needed by the west
upon terms equally advantageous with those at
present obtained.
1t is believed that by diverting this volume
OF trade from the accustomed channels the
eyes OF the eastern opponents Of silver will
be opened and their assistance may be enlisted.
Devils LAKE, N. D., July Ex-senator
Hansbrough delivered rather a strange address
before the Chautauqua assembly yesterday.
He explained the difference between free
silver, single gold standard and limited
coinage. He advocated bi-metaiiic currency,
the coinage Of either metal to be limited in
proportion to production. the ratio to be
regulated from time to time as the relative
rate Of production demands, Congress to be
judge Of time and rate. The Senator favored
the exclusion Of foreign bullion, or Mt least
would have its importation regulated by high
rate of duty. He advocated the issue of silver
certificates redeemable in silver. and the extern
sion Of legal tender power to 81 900, but not
unlimited legal tender power.
San Francisco, July ia meeting Of the
prominent silver mon of the state held here
last night and resolutions adopted favoring the
restoration Of silver to the position it occupied
as a money metal previous to the demonetiza-
ton of 1873 Another meeting will be held
next week.

Lieut.. B. p Schenck. twelfth infantry, was
Vecently convicted of intoxicstion and sentenced
70 "forfeit one-half his pay per month for q
period of six months and to be CO nfined TO the
limits Of his post" Gen. Merritt, COM
manding the department of Dakota, indorsed

Prom the testimony il is evident that con-
viction throughout has failed only because Of
. question as to the degree and effect OF in
toxication, and that Lieut.. Schenck has, in the
use Of alcoholic drink, pernicious ha1a rs, which
if not reformed will inevitably lead to
Q disgraceful termination of his service in the
army. The sentence is approved. In order
that every opportunity may be made available
for Lieut.. Schenck to control and correct his

New Order As to Fruit Distiileries.

The internal revenue department has issued
a new circular to collectors relative to the col
lection of the tax on fruit brandy. 1t is in
tended to admonish collectors against Q too
frequent and unnecessary visitation Of such dis
tilleries, a habit that has grown until the fees
have become out Of proportion to the taxes col
lected. The new regulations suggest that
visits should be from two to four in number
each month during the period OF active opera
tons. each successive visit by different Off
Ger. and that the employment of special officers
shall close at the close Of active operations in
each district, and in all cases, unless specially
