MICHIGAN COMPLIMENTS CINCINNATI.

Fl. f. Lindley, correspondent OF Gen. o.
Nj. Poe Corps, Detroit, Mich, writes that it
was her privilege to accompany the Grand
Army and Relief Corps party which visited
Cincinnati, to arrange for accommodations
for the Michigan delegations, GAR. and
W.R.C, at the coming National Encamp-
ment.
Not only the Posts and Corps of Detroit
were represented but similar Orders from
many of the interior towns and cities. The
party numbered one hundred and over and
the trip was made under the most favorable
circumstances. Shortly after their arrival
in Cincinnati all repaired to the Academy
of Music under local escort aud had the
pleasure of inspecting that building, where
Encampment will be held.
The following morning all attended a
meeting in the hotel, which was presided
over by Col w. B. Mellish, DirectOr-General
and made a fiattering report of the prepara-
tory work of the 32d National Encampment,
GAR, which had met the approval of
Commander in-Chief Goblin and National
President Sarah j. Martin Judge Ken
bricks, of Saginaw, responded for the vet
Grams of Michigan, and he was followed by
several members of the W.R.C. The dates
fixed for the Encampment, Sept. to 10,
were considered suspicious by those as
sembled.
Col. Mellish reported that the utmost
hospitality would be extended by the citi-
zens of Cincinnati, and that scheme had
been set on foot through which all the
veterans would be placed on an equal foot
ing, the privateS sharing all the rights and
privileges of the highest officials Ma
tional President Sarah j. Martin was pres
ent at the Michigan conference, and among
the Michigan women represented were

lister Of war, sitter violent attacks
made upon him by deputy. presented
his resignation to the chamber, which
later rejected, by vote of 296 to 274,

Considerable disorder prevailed in the
chamber and among the crowds about
the approaches to the Palace Bourbon.
Personal encounters were numerous.
The Republican guards frequently had
to charge the crowds to dispense them.
Bands Of anti-Semites attacked and i'll
jured the commissary police with
loaded sticks. NJ. Geurin, president of
the anti-Semitic league, was arrested.
The session Of the chamber no

Rochester, n. Y, Oct. ga special
to the Herald from Sodus says: The
three-masted schooner st. Peter of st.
west of Sodus, on Lake Ontario, with
all on board save Capt. John N. Grit
lin. who was rescued in Il precarious
condition. The schooner showed
signs of distress early in the morning
as she drifted past Charlotte. During
the forenoon the people Mt Pultnayville
sighted the st. Peter and Immediately
telegraphed to Sodus Point, asking
that help be offered. The tug Corne-
liza started for the rescue but the great
seas nearly swamped the boat, and
the Cornelia was compelled to return
to the harbor. Word was sent to
Charlotte that the distressed vessel
had been sighted near Pultneyville,
and the tug Proctor started with the
life saving crew. When within a
mile Of the st. Peter the crew on the
Proctor We're Mortified to see the dis
trcsscd ship sink. In ten minutes the
tug was cruising about the spot where
she went down. Capt. Griffin was
picked up in an unconscious condition.
After sepnding half an hour looking
for the other members of the Inflated

THE WHOLE NILE.

English Papers Claim It From
Source to Mouth.
London, Oct. 27.-Consols and other
securities were panicky to day, but
on their decline there were buying or
ders from Paris. showing that the
French did not seriously anticipate
trouble.
Most of the interest conferred in the
Marquis Of Salisbury's addition to the
Fashoda correspondence, contained in
a publication Of the British blue book
on that subject. The Conservative
newspapers express themselves as be-
ing highly pleased with his rejoinder
to the French yellow book ON the
same subject. They declare that it
dispels the idea spread by the dispatch
of the French ambassador here, Ba-
ron de Courcel, that the British pre-
mier was willing to negotiate on the
whole question. But the Liberal and
Radical organs still consider that the
Marquis of Salisbury's attitude admits
of negotiations promising q friendly
arrangement. The entire press. how.
ever. scouts the idea Of the possession
Of Fashoda coming within the sphere
of the discussion. The St. James Ga
Zette says: I'VE are prepared to ne
gotiate the question of the western
frontier of the Rahr-El- Ghazell dis
trict. But we must control the Nile,
both banks and watersheds. from it's
source to the sea-" The Globe thinks
the Marquis of Salisbury has made it
clear that Maj. Marchand must quit
Fashoda without condition. "Until
this is DONE" the Globe says. "there
can be no discussion of the French
claims in Africa"
