LITTLE MAC" HoNoREp.
Ine Mcclellan Monument Unveiled
With Fitting Ceremonies.


PHILADELPHIA, October 26.-The ele-
ments did not lend helping hand this
afternoon to the unwilling of the statue
OF General George B. Mcclellan, and for
a while it was doubtful whether the Ger.
emonies incident to the unwilling would
DE carried out. 1t was originally ar
ranged to have the exercises begin at
l:3O O'Clock, but at that hour the rain
was coming down in torrents, and the
ardor of the officers of the Mcclellan
Monument Association was correspond
lngly dampened. Major Moses Veale.
one OF the heads of the association, upon
whom rested the honor of presenting the
monument to the city in which Little
mac was born, went so far as to Of
hclally announce that the ceremonies
would be materially curtailed to a brief
presentation address by himself and an
equally brief speech of acceptance by
the Mayor. Soon after 2 O'Clock, how
ever, the rain ceased and the sky bright
ened, and then the managers decided to
carry out the original program, begin
ming at 2:30 o'clock. Some of the adj
dresses were shortened because of damp
ness, this being particularly the case
with General Franklin. In addition to
the program was the reading of poem
that had been composed for the occasion
by DR.. S. Weir Mitchell of PHILADELPHIA.
The composition was to have been read
by its author, but in his absence it was
delivered by his son, Langdon Elwyn
Mitchell. The inclement weather did
not interfere with the parade, and one
of the most interested observers of the
procession was the widow of the great
General. She was seated with other
members of the Mcclellan family on the
front row of the reviewing stand and di-
rectly beneath the statue. When guns
doomed, bands played and the thousands
of admirers of Little MAJ" cheered his
presentment in bronze, the countenance
of Mrs. Mcclellan underwent successive
changes. 1t was clearly evident that she
was ioyously but deeply affected, joyous
to know that her late husband is held in
such reverence, but deeply moved by the
true sense of sympathy which was every
where manifested in connection with the
Generals retirement from the command
of the Union forces.

SURPRISING Workers.

ROME, October 24.-The suppression
of the Socialist workers has caused a
sensation. The step was taken in con-
sequence of the alarming reports sent in
by the Projects, who had been questioned
regarding the association. The Project
of Milan, where there are fifty-five bod.
les of Socialist workers in correspond
ence with allied societies all over Italy,
gave a satisfactory explanation of their
dangerous doctrines and plans. He
found that the railway employees were
especially numerous and active in the
association. The general programme was
to destroy the existing social system,
abolish private ownership and to demol-
ish by means of revolution the whole
iudicial fabric.

A Story That the Chicago Grain 10 Out
Of Condition.

CHICAGO, October 24.-In regard to
the story that a cargo of wheat infected
with weevil had been transferred here,
which was industriously circulated on
the Board of Trade to-day, the facts in
the case are as follows: Saturday
cargo of wheat was loaded into steamer
bound for Erie from one of the Armour
elevators, passing inspection at that
warehouse. The steamer was then towed
to an Illinois Central elevator for the
purpose of being loaded with 10000
bushels additional. The inspector at
the latter point claimed that the grain
already in the hold of the vessel was
weevily, and refused to permit the Gen.
trail wheat to be loaded. The owners of
the vessel, not wishing to have their ves-
sci detained over Sunday, gave orders
for its immediate departure. The ques-
ton resolves itself into one of accuracy
between the two inspectors, the general
disposition being to place little faith in
the theory that Chicago wheat is out of
condition.
The Post says: The question of
whether there is considerable quantity
of wheat stored in Chicago elevators full
of weevil is just now Fostering big grain
shippers, and if the answer shall be dis
covered Eyes," the great stock of grain
in Chicago warehouses may be cut down
to suit the bulls. The matter came up
in most unexpected fashion Saturday,
with the result that the owners of the
steamer Charles A. Eddy and the grain
firm of Norton & Worthington had
falling out, which resulted in the Eddy
putting off for Erie with cargo of 3d.
600 bushels of wheat said to be full of
weevil. This cargo of wheat is owned
by nobody. There are no bills of lading
for it, and the whole problem will have
to be settled later on, when the returns
come from the inspection to which the
grain will be subjected in Erie. Mean
while the grain trade is greatly exercised
over what is considered one of the most
remarkable cases that has arisen in the
traffic for many years.

Decision Rendered Involving Over a
Million Dollars.
CLEVELAND, October 25.-Judge Lur-
ton in the United States Circuit Court
to-day entered decree in the noted case
of George w. and G. B. McMullin, rep
resenting the Canadian Copper Com
pany, against S. R. Richie, in which
81, 800, 900 are involved. The decision is
in favor of the copper company. Origi-
nal suit was on a judgment for over
$500, 900 obtained against Ritchle, and
the latter contested the claim. The case
has been in court for years, and the con-
test has been bitter one. Richie, Sem
ator Payne, Senator Stevenson Burke,
A. B. Cornell and others were interested
in the Canadian Copper Company, the
Anglo American Iron Company and the
Central Ontario Iron Company. 1t was
shown that since the suit Richie had
put in claims aggregating 81 900 for serv-
ices, all of which was disallowed by the
court. Richie was beaten at every
point, and the claims against him made
by Burke, Senator Payne, the McMul-
Inns and the Cornell estate were allowed.
The total claims allowed by the court
amounted to 81. 800, 600, and are divided
as follows:

Strychnine Put in the Coffee Pot at
County Hospital.


CoLusA, CAL, October 21.-A whole
sale attempt to poison the inmates OF

The Stock Held by Bankers.

New YORK, October Pit is an
nounced that the Western Irvine Com
pany has been organized to undertake
the sale of the Irvine held by bankers as
collateral security for loans to the Ma
tional Cordage Company, which, while
it was hanging over the market, deferred
buyers and prevented the United States
Cordage Company from extending its
business. The United States Cordage
Company in consequence has concluded
satisfactory banking arrangements, and
is having plans prepared for the erection
at Elizabethport, Ohio, of mill buildings
and warehouses, to which will be trans
ferred spindles from other mills now re-
mote from tide water or railway freight
ing facilities. This consolidation will
tend to lessen the cost of manufacture.

TRIAL OF WASHINGTON COAL.

mander Chadwick, chief of the equip
ment bureau of the navy, has received
complete reports from the commanders
of the ships engaged in the Behring Sea
patroI on the results attending the ex-
periments with Pacific Coast coal. All
five of the vessels had some of this coal,
and they consumed about 10000 tons.
The trials were confined to the Fairhaven
and Blue Canyon coal, and while they
we're not as thorough as is deemed neces-
sary to fully establish the quality of the
coal, the result was very satisfactory as
far az disclosed. Secretary Herbert has
determined to pursue the experiment
further, and will cause one of our naval
vessels to make exhaustive tests OF the
fuel, probably using It On . cruise to

desires to deposit the oysters ON pubic
grounds in sufficiently deep water ana
portion of them at least as far back from

cured. The oystermen are cooperating
