It is of course a doubtful experiment on the part of the Administration. It appears that secrecy is not so much desired on account of the appropriation of as it is with regard to the plans which the United States has for the future with respect to this route.

Capt. Phelps. Minister to Peru, and Mr. Manney, of Tennessee. formerly Minister to Colombia, who took a very active part in the Nicaragua Canal enterprise some years ago, are both here.

and have had interviews with members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The friends of this enterprise are not alone here. The oyponents of the scheme are also here and busy. The most prominent and active among them is Capt. James B.

Eads, of Missouri, famous for the jetties and for various engineering projects. Capt. Eads is outspoken in opposition to the adoption of this amendment, and is endeavoring to defeat it, ana has interviewed members of the House for that purpose. He says one object of the appropriation is undoubtealy to put money into the pockets of those who are interested in this Nicaraguan enterprise. Eads, moreover, says that the report that the Panama Canal is likely to be a failure and be abandoned and that the French are looking for a concession from Nicaragua is absurd.

In regard to the insinuation of a want of courage, he ventured to say that there was nothing in the person, character, or antecedents of the Senator from Kansas to make him an object of apprehension, or to excite the fears of any man. There was no place so sate as this Senate chamber for a man Of discreet courage to bluster kind parade his vituperative rhetoric. No other Senator would have used such language as the Senator from Kansas had used under the protection of the Senate, and he (Ingalls) would not use it except under the protection of the Senate. 313.

INGALLS HOLDS HIMSELF HESPONSIBIE. Mr. Ingalls said if the Senator from Georgia would allow the remarks made this morning to stand as they had been delivered he (Ingalls) would be contented. but if those remarks were to be amended by interpolations and observations not delivered after they had been sent to the printing-house be (Ingalls) preferred to wait before canvassing the vote until all the returns were in. The Senator from Georgia, Mr.

Ingalls said, was mightier with the pen than with either the tongue or the sword. Tbat Senator shed ink like water. Ile was very courageous with the pen. Mr. Ingalls would not be diverted from the real question at issue.

That question was whether the records of the Senate had been falsified by interpolation of matter personal In its character, susceptible only of an offensive interpretation, after the record bad been made up by the reporter. This would not have been done in the ordinary affairs of life between one gentleman and another. The Chair thought this remark out of order. Mr. Ingalls then withdrew the remark and said to the Chair it would not appear in the Record.

As to tho imputations of the Senator from Georgia upon his (Ingalls') personal courage and appearances he begged to say to the Senator from Georgia that be (Ingalls) here distinctly avowed all that he had hitherto said in any sense that the Senator from Georgia saw lit to attribute to it, and that be (Ingalls) did not shield himself behind the privileges of the Senate Chamber. The usual breathing pause following the delivery of this sentence was characterized by dead silence in the chamber and the crowded galleries. When Mr. Ingalls added: "This is all I desire to say in response to the gentleman," a general buzz was heard, and the galleries were instantly half emptied. On motion of Mr.

Sherman Mr. Ingalls' to expunge the words complained of was laid on the table. Mr. Hampton said that in justice to both Senators he ought to say that he (Mr. Hampton) was sitting just by the Senator from Georgia when he used one of the expressions referred to, or words of their tenor and effect, the Senator from Kansas not being at the time in his Seat but in the back aisle of the Chamber.

THE FITZ JOHN PORTER BILL AWAITING ARTHUR'S ACTION. WASHINGTON, D. June The conference report on the Fitz John Porter but has been accepted by the House, and the President will now have an opportunity to determine whether or not he will appr ove it. It was stated by a friend of President Arthur prior to the nominating convention that be would not approve it; that. having pardoned Fitz John Porter be bad done all that he considered it necessary to do, and that he did not feel that he was called upon to put him back In the army.

The report even has been printed many times that in order to prevent the President from embarrassment the conference report on this bill was withheld until after the convention. Ten days will determine what the President's purposes are. The bill which has been agreed upon is a very different one Irma that which originally passed the House. The House bill very clearly carried with it, according to the interpretation of the best lawyers, back pay for the entire period since Fitz John Porter was court-martialed. There can be no possible doubt that the conference report which was agreed upon forbids the payment of any back pay to Porter and gives him no compensation except such as he would receive upon being restored to the retired list.

The bill, as one of his friends put it, simply gives him back his good name. It is reported tonight by Fitz John Porter's friends that the President will sign the bill. THE RESULT. EVERYBODY'. INCLUDING THE MAYOR AND MRMACKIN, MAY BE SATISFIED.

The Democratic primaries yesterday were a little mixed, and, taking the county as a whole, -neither the Mackin machine nor the Harrison opposition can be said to have scored a clear victory. Owing to the lack of a County Convention there will be no clean-cut test, its the delegates sent down to Peoria will be chosen at the District Conventions today. Nominally they will all be for Harrison for Governor, but this will not mean that the Mayor can control them. In the First District the eminently-respectable Democrats WHOM Mr. Mackin bad the foresight to put on his ticket can be relied on to stand by the machine, and if Whelan In the First and Grinnell in the Fourth Wards try to make a contest in Harrison's interest they will probably be rebuffed.

Potter Palmer and W. C. Seipp are apparently the favorits for district delegates, but either Mr. Mackin or Rensselaer Stone may be run In as a vindication of the machine. In the Second District the convention will simply the self-election of Cullerton and Hildreth the National Convention, but it looks as though Harrison would get some of the Peoria delcnrates.

In the Third District the Mayor will probably be able to force Mike McDonald Off the track as a district delegate it be cares to make the Issue clearly. County-Clerk Ryan may be Harrison's colleague, but a German is not an Impossibility. In the Fourth District, while F. H. Winston's election is reasonably certain, the astute Mr.

Chase has left the chance of a second man In doubt, so that whether it be W. C. Goudy or a German like Harry Rubens be will be able to do some advantageous trading. Goudy, however, appears to have a pretty fair show of being sent to the National Convention as a delegate-at-large. The various District Conventions will meet this morning as follows: First District, Palmer House, 11 o'clock.

Second. No. 693 South Halsted street, 10 o'clock. Third, Adams and Halsted streets, 10 o'clock. Fourth, Brand's Hall, 12 o'clock.

REASONS WHY IT SHOULD BE PUT IN FORCE. WASHINGTON, D. June 17.In the report Reeempanying the bill. to carry into effect the Mexican treaty prepared by A. S.

Hewitt and reported from the Ways and Means Committee today tho committee says: It has been feared that the sugar industry of Louisiana might be unfavorably affected by the free admission of raw Mexican sugar and that the profits of tobacco-culture ultimately in some way be affected. When it is considered that Mexico at present does not raise sufficient sugar for its own use and that its tobacco is of a quality which does not interfere with the of the United States. but. on the contrary, would advantageously supplement it and replace the tobacco which is now imported from Cuba, the objection, therefore. arises rather from the aPPrehensiton of the development of Mexico in the production of these two articles than from any considerable importation at the present time.

The prospect of interference is evidently too remote to weigh against the great advantages which will accrue to us from the admission of our manufactures free of duty into Mexico. Mexico is the gate through which this country will End its connection with Central and South American States. The time has already arrived when we must adopt a continental policy. laying its foundations broad and deep in the mutual interests of Intimate commercial and political sympathies. The Monroe doctrine must be asserted and enforced It is essential for our safety as well as our growth that we shall exercise a controlling influence in the affairs of the Western World.

It may not be desirable that we should extend the limits of our sovereignty beyond our own borders, but every measure which tends to establish closer relations with our neighbors. to create mutual interests. to develop common hopes and sympathies, and to tie us more closely together in support of the principles of free government and the progress of human liberty should be encouraged. It is for this reason that the treaty with Mexico sparks an era in the progress of the Western World. We have only to cultivate peace and good will with our neighbors.

and accept every opportunity for free intercourse and free exchange in order to complete the demonstration that the blessings which have crowned the unrestricted commercial intercourse of the States of our Union whit each other may be extended and enjoyed by all the peoples of the Western Hemisphere, not only in peace and security. but without peril to their political existence 53 free and independent nations. bow many votes were cast for the ticket will never be deflnitly known. rem There was a jubilant gathering of the Mart: (lel men at The store" last night and everyam ho was treated well and often.

The Payson substitute measure was passed which requires the Pacific Railroads to pay for surveys of their lands within sixty days or suffer forfeiture. This, if enacted, will make large tracts of hinds subject to taxation. Six-sevenths of the land now due these railroads bas been surveyed, and the United States bas actually paid out for their benefit the sum of :875,293.50. The object of the bill is to compel these various railroad companies to reimburse the United States, and take titles or patents to the lands they have earned. The railroads, while admitting that under the law they are required to Pay to the United States the cost of surveying, selecting, and conveying said lands, contend that the language as title shall be required by said company," which is contained in See.

21 of the Amendatory act of 11364, gives them the option of determining when they shall pay the cost and accept patents to the land earned by them. The companies affected by this bill are: Union Pacific. Omaha to. Ogden; Burington Missouri Elver, Central Branch Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific, Denver Pacific, Central Pacific, Ogden to Sacramento; Central Pacific, successor to Western Pacific; and Sioux City Pacific. Cullerton-Hildreth deal.

The delegates also favor Harrison for Governor and are in doubt as to the remaining seekers for political aggrandizement. In that part of the Eighth Ward south of Polk street, being in the Second District, there was only one ticket, and that was for Harrison for Governor and delegate-at-large. Four hundred votes were cast and the following delegates elected: Frank Lawler, P. Hamill, James A. Taylor, James Doran.

Henry Ilensman. Red Sheridan. Frank Venter, Dan Sullivan, E. F. Kelly.

E. J. 0114Yer. P. J.

Howard. THIRD DISTRICT. Harrison had a walkover in that part of the Eighth Ward Delonging to the Third District the portion north of Polk street. About 150 votes were cast at this primary, which was held at the corner of Desplaines and Harrison streets. Tie following delegates were elected without opposition: T.

E. Ryan, D. Donovan, M. J. O'Malley.

John Currey. M. Cagney, John Wallace, D. Daley, Dennis Ryan, IL Sugrue. The following were the delegates elected in the Ninth Ward: Michael Leyden.

Alexander Monteith, John Brady, Thomas Dolan. Charles Wesley, Frank McIntyre, James McCormick, Patrick O'Malley. In the Tenth Ward there was nothing out of the West-Town routine, Clerk Martin having things about his own way. There were but 172 votes polled, and the delegates are said to have no preference. There was no opposition ticket in the held.

The following were elected: Frank Riley, Ed Nealay, Theodore Mack. Thomas Grace, Peter Giesman, Thomas Berry, and James Cooney. The following delegates to the State Convention were named for action by the District Convention: Thomas Martin, James McCale. Jerry Mulvihill, Frank Riley. Thomas Grace, M.

Crow, and Charles Hill. The Harrison ticket carried the day in the Eleventh Ward, getting 98 votes to 10 votes cast by the opposition. The delegates chosen are: John Connell', William Nugent. Patrick Ryan, N. J.

simott. John Hartnett, J. W. Sullivan, and Ambrose andree. The ticket is that prepared by the machine with the exeeption of Sullivan, whose name was substituted early in theday for a man who declined to serve.

The delegation is solid for Harrison, and will probable vote for McDonald and Dunphy for district delegates, though there Is talk of Aid. J. E. Dalton. The selection of a German for district delegate is possible, Ambrose Andree being favored.

Among those mentioned as probable delegates to Peoria are John Connell, Ambrose Andree, James H. Ward, George H. Rickey, and John Hartnett Jr. In the Twelfth Ward 296 votes were cast, all for one ticket, and the delegates chosen are said to be solid friends of the Mayor. They are: J.

M. Dunphy. J. J. Hackett, Peter Clinton, G.W.

Tucker. Roger Sullivan, M. C. Clancy, and Edward Phillips. Though there was no oaposition to this ticket another ticket was brought late into the Held headed Harrison delegation," but it received no support.

The men elected want Harrison for delegate-at-large and Harrison for Governor. They lean toward McDonald and Dunphy for district delegates, though P. H. Mayer is talked of in place of Dunphy if it should seem best to throw a sop to the German vote. There seems to be no doubt that W.

J. McGarigle, J. E. Van Pelt, J. M.

Dunphy, and J. J. Hackett will be sent to Peoria. At the Thirteenth Ward primary only 201 votes were cast, and there being no opposition the following tidket was elected: William H. Gallagher.

M. M. Hayes, G. J. Baker, M.

Daley, P. J. Ryan, Dennis Considine, and John Scanlon. Henry MeGuren. who was on the ticket, was scratched owing, it is understood, to his favoring N.

W. Ryan for delegate to the National Conventon. The ticket is said to be solid for Carter H. Harrison for either district delegate or delegate-at-large to the National Convention, and there is a general feeling in the ward in favorer having some representative German associated with him. None of them want Ryan, but they consider Mike MeDonald almost sure of election.

There were two tickets in the Fourteenth Ward, and everything passed off quietly until the close of the polls. when two ward politicians, Pat Ryan and James Culkin, became involved in a quarrel over a personal matter. Ryan showed fight and his friends encouraged him, until a general melde seemed probable. There were three or four policemen on the scene and a patrol-wagon was called for, but no arrests were made. The vote was unusually large, about 600 ballots being east.

The ticket elected was as follows: M. Ryan. C. Cassleman, L. H.

Lyons, William Harley. John A. Orb, Adam Ochs, Jerry Maloney, Herman Sigmund, Michael Whalen, J. Niemschewskl, Bryan Donnelly, Gustav Kuntze, S. J.

Mellin, Henry Donohue, John Lonergan. The delegates are for Mayor Harrison, and the other ticket is also favorable to him. FOCRTII DISTRICT. In the Fifteenth Ward there were 249 votes cast for the following delegates: George Kersten, Peter Ebertshauser, Peter Jung, Eugene Prager, A. J.

Brachtendorf, Harry Rubens, S. B. Chase, Adam Schillo, John Beck, William Nichoft. Their preferences are S. B.

Chase and F. H. Winston for district delegates: W. C. Goudy and M.

C. McDonald for delegates-at-large; Harrison for Governor; and George Kersten for Clerk of the Appellate Court. No other preferences were expressed. There was but one ticket in the field, and the election was a quiet one. The Sixteenth Ward Demoerats also Toted for but one ticket, for which 264 votes were cast, as follows: 1 John IL Colvin, James H.

Farrell, Mathias Pitts, L. M. Ennis, T. J. Rogers, J.

Sittig, B. Brachtendort, Herman Strenzel. Tills delegation stands the same as in the Fifteenth, except that Harry Rubens in the place of S. B. Cnase is favored for district delegate.

John H. Colvin, who is Chairman of the delegation, also favors Seiter, of St. Clair, for Lieutenant-Governor and Rudolph Brand for State Treasurer. Two hundred and fifty votes were cast in the Seventeenth Ward for the following ticket, the only one in the field: Aid. John Sweeney, P.

rt. Tierney, H. J. O'Mara, John Dowdle, John F. O'Malley.

William Herting, Daniel R. O'Brien, James Rogars, Thomas McCormack, Thomas Leddy. These delegates favor Winston and Rubens for district delegates; Goudy ana Harrison for delegates-at-large: Harrison for Governor; and Kersten for Clerk of the Appellate Court. Several of the delegates declare, however, that they are entirely unpledged, and will go into the convection in that shape, prepared to swing the vote wherever it will prove most effective. There was no opposition to the ticket put up by Mike Corcoran in the Eighteenth Ward.

About 200 votes were cast. The list consists of the following; Francis Hoffman M. 3. Corcoran, Michael Wasserman, Francis Agnev, C. P.

Kimball, William Devine. Lambert Tree, Rudolph Brand, John N. Crawford. Egbert Jamieson, S. Corning Judd.

They will support W. C. Goudy and F. H. Winston for delegates to the National Convention, and they are in favor of a German for a place on the Electoral ticket.

At the Lake View primary Edmund Furth-man and George Reichman were chosen. Cullerton-Hildreth deal. The delegates also favor Harrison for Governor and are in doubt as to the remaining seekers for political ag- grandizeent.

1). rr- ue I rist It lial in 1 It the 1). HOUSE. Mr. Slocum presented the conference report on the Fitz John Porter bill.

The effect is to strike out cif the bill the Words "together. with all rights, titles, and privileges," and to insert the woras "provided that said Fitz John Pon-ter shall receive no compensation or allowance whatsoever prior to his appointment under this act," instead of the following words in the bill: "But this act shall not be construed as authorizing pay, compensation, or allowance prior to his appointment under it." The conference report was agreed toyeas 158, nays 61. Mr. Payson, from the Committee on Public Lands, reported bacic the bill to restore all lands held in indemnity limits for railroad and wagon-road purposes. Placed on the House calendar.

The House went into Committee of tbe Whole, with Mr. Dunn in the chair, On the Deficiency bill. Several amendments were offered and rejected. When the committee reached the end of the bill Mr. Randall moved, as an additional section, his proposition against political assessments.

Mr. Cannon made the point that the amendment was not in order under the rules. Mr. Randall. admitting that the amendment was open to a point of order, expressed regret that the point had been made.

adding that the judgment of the people was that political assessments had been carried on to an outrageous extent. Mr. Kasson argued that the amendment was objectionable, not only as being against the rule, but as being against good policy. If an Iowa farmer sold a hundred bushels of oats to an army Commissary, he could not use any of the money for the disseminating of political Information or for printing tickets. A member of Congress desiring reelection would not be permitted to spend any of his own money for tho ordinary purposes of his election, while his competitor (not being a member) might expend any amount he chose.

The Chairman, expressing bis regret that such a wholesome proposition and one so conducive to public morals was out of order, felt constrained to sustain the point of order. The proposition was, therefore, not admitted. The committee then rose, and the House agreed, in bulk, to all the amendments reported except that striking out the proviso as to the compensation ot fourth-class Postmasters. The vote on striking it Out was taken by yeas and nays, and resultedyeas 151, nays SIthe result being in the interest of the Postmasters. The Dill then passed.

Mr. Hewitt, of New York, of the Committee on Ways and Means, reported the bill to carry Into effect the convention between the United States of America and the United States of Mexico, signed the 20te of January, 1853, with a favorable report. The report was ordered printed and the bill placed on the calendar. The bill to prohibit the importation of labor under contract being the special order for today, was postponed till Thursday, and that day set apart for its consideration. The House then proceeded to the consideration of the bill reported by the Committee on Pacific Railroads to amend the several Pacific railroad acts.

It requires the companies to tile within ninety days from the passage of this act (or within sixty dsys after the completion of the surveys) a list of the selections of land claimed by them, and deposit the cost of surveying, selecting, and conveying the same. The first question was taken on an amend-meat offered by Mr. Payson to one offered by Mr. Hanback. Mr.

Ilanback's was that all lands embraced in the notice to be given by the Secretary of the Interior to the railroad company (to take its patents) shall be subject to State, Territorial. and municipal taxation after sixty days from the date of the notice. Mr. Payson' was that the lien of the United States for the cost and expenses of surveying shall not be affected by the sale of the lands. Mr.

Payson's amendment was adopted, and then Mr. Hanback's (as so amended) was also adopted on vote by tellers. Mr. Crisp demanded the yeas and nays on an amendment to the amendment, declaring it was an abandonment of the security which the Government had in these lands. A vote by yeas and nays resulted: Yeas, 99; nays, 88.

So the amendment was agreed to. A vote was then taken on Mr. Payson's substitute for the bill and amendments. It provides that if the railroad companies shall not within sixty days from the receipt of the notice pay the costs -of surveying the land then their right to such land shall cease and the lands shall be restored to the public domain for settlement under the homesteaci laws. The substitute was agreed to, and the bill (in that shape) passed.

The House then took up the bill to amend the Thurman act, but without action THE INQUIRY. CALAMITY WELLER'S POOR WASHINGTON, D. June I7.The special committee appointed to investigate the charges against the Hon. William H. English of lobbying on the House floor in the interest of his son in the contested-election case of English vs.

Peelle began the examination of witnesses today. Representative Weller (of Iowa) was examined. Mter you had voted to lay the motion for reconsideration on the table the day that Mr. English was seated, did Representative Pusey (of Iowa) request you to go to the Democratic side of the House?" asked Representative Millard. Mr.

Weller said Mr. Pusey came to him, inquired about his health, and he told him he was first rate and was going to the depot to meet his wife and daughter. Mr. Pusey asked him to stay and vote on the EnglishPeelle ease. QuestionYou evade the question.

Did Mr. Posey ask you to go to the other side of the house? Answer I don't remember Did you go with him?" "I don't remember." Did you loilow Mr. Pusey in a very few moments?" I can't tell you that." While he was sitting by you was therb any discussion regarding the election case?" "I don't remember." "When you went to the other side of the House (Democratic) did you see Elliglish the father?" "I think not." "Did you see the son?" "I did." "Did you converse with him?" "I did. I saw him on my way as I was passing out of the hall." "How soon was this after Mr. Pusey bad been to your seat?" "I don't know." Can you tell what time you received your telegram from your wife?" "I cannot.

When I got home I found that I had made st mistake of just about one hour in the time of the arrival of the train." Had you seen English, the father, previous to the balloting?" I was introduced tl him on the floor of the House by some one. I asked if he was related to the Democratie candidate for the Vice-Presidency four years ago, and he said he was the identical man. English never made an offer or any suggestion that I should receive money." There's no charge of that kind against you." Next day, after the vote was taken, when made a personal explanation on the floor of the House Mr. Wilson (of Iowa) said he was sorry I had made the explanation. Ile said Mr.

Bayne when he referred the day before in his speech to some one having left the hall did not mean me." NV. H. English will be examined tomorrow. DEMOCRATIC CLUES. ii'''' PREPARING TO MOVE ON EllICAGO rvin Among yesterday's arrivals at the Grand he elle were Col.

A VERBAL REPORT BY MR.

SHERMAN ON VIE BUTLER RESOLUTION. WASHINGTON. D. June the Senate Mr. Sherman, in calling up Mr.

Butler's resolution of inquiry into the condition of the New York banks, made a verbal report from the Committee on Finance. After noviewing the circumstances attendant upon the recent financial troubles in New York City, Mr. Sherman contended that all that had been done to prevent a panic had been done by the banks themselves. The Government of the United States had no lot or parcel in it, except so far as the Secretary of the Treasury had called in bonds an ordinary transaction. The Committee on Finance to which was referred the resolution heretofore introduced by Mr.

Morgan, had called before them the Controller of the Currency, who was familiar with all the facts, and examined him and secured from him all the information possible at this time. They were still examining the subject. Overcertification had been practically stopped; and there was no evidence that any of the banks had overcertified checks except those that had got in trouble. Mr. Sherman submitted a statement showing the condition of the associated banks of the City of New York by weeks from May 81 to June 14.

1884, which would give the Senator from South Carolina almost all the information called for by his resolution. Mr. Sherman felt satisfied the normal condition of affairs would very shortly be resumed. There was one thmg, however, he would personally suggestnamely: that there should be a severe and stringent law prohibiting bank officers other than Directors from dealing in speculative operations. He would not extend such prohibition to Directors, necause they were generally business-men.

Whether a law on the subject would be effective be did not know. He read the resolution proposed by John C. Eno to the Directors of his bank in December, 1883, and unanimously adopted, expressing their emphatic disapproval of the practice of dealing in speculative ventures by officers of banks and expressing a determination not to employ as an officer any person guilty of such conduct. At the very time, apparently, that Eno had drawn up this resolution he was himself engaged in the very things be was de-flouncing. The substance of such a reslution should be embodied in the law, and bank officers should be punished for the infraction of that law.

Mr. Beck said the papers exhibited by the Controller of the Currency to the Senate Committee on Finance this morning not only-showed that be bad vigilantly prosecuted offenders, but the possession of papers the contents of which the Senate would not desire in the interest of justice to see made public. He thought that officer was doing all that could be done. The matter then went over. DEMOCRATIC THOSE WHO MAKE UP TUE VARIOUS CONGRES SIONAL CONVENTIONS.

Democratic primaries were held in the city wards and the country towns of Cook County to elect delegates and alternates to the State Convention at Peoria, and also to choose delegates and alternates to the National Democratic Convention. No general County Convention is to be but the delegates in each of the four Congressional districts get together this morning and select their quota of Cook County's representation at Peoria as well as the men who will take part in the National Convention as members. The work of the primaries is given In detail below: FIRST DISTRICT. In the First.Ward, after a lively row, the particulars of which are given elsewhere, the machine ticket was elected by a handful of votes. It is made up of the following Democrats: Potter Palmer, Moses J.

Wentworth. T. Lyle Dickey, J. K. Fisher, John K.

Prindiville, William Fitzgerald, Charles F. Mackin, Benjamin M. Schaffner, John W. McNally. The majority of these delegates will favor Potter Palmer and W.

C. Seipp or Joe Mackin and Rensselaer Stone as district delegates to the National Convention and probably W. C. Goudy as delegate-at-large. The anti-machine delegates are: Thomas Fitzgerald.

Stephen Albert, John E. Stearns. W. P. Whelan, Daniel O'Connor, Patrick White, Philip Defter.

James This delegation favors Melville W. Fuller and Erskine M. Phelps for district delegates and Carter Harrison for.delegate-at-large. In the Second Ward the anti-machine men might have secured perfect harmony by accepting the proposition matte. to them by the other faction Monday night.

The latter gave them one judge, Murray resigning in favor of Dennis O'Sullivan, and offered them half the delegation. This offer was refused, the anti-machine preferring to enter the race with a whole ticket of their own. This they did, having the names of their men printed on white paper. while the enemy came to the front with pink tickets. A big crowd gathered about the polls, No.

8 Polk street. long before the voting commenced and both sides had challengers on hand. The excitement ran high while the voting lasted. Aid. Sanders led the anti-machine men and Aid.

Appleton the opposit ticket. The latter came out ahead by a vote of 677 to 270. O'Sullivan refused to sign the credentials, declaring that too many good Democrats had been refused the privilege of voting. The ticket elected was this eine; James T. Appleton, James Lomax, Moses Barnett, Nick Reis, John Cells, Sol- Van Praag, Neil Conley, Henry Gelder.

They favor Palmer and Seipp for district delegates. The Third Ward primary held at N. 2015 State street was conducted quietly, with a single ticket in the geld. The ticket, which received 175 votes, contained the following names: M. G.

Flood. L. B. Otis, John Dwyer. M.

Hayes, William Dill, S. IL Keogh. It is claimed that they are unpledged. The hand of Joe Mackin was recognized in the Fourth Ward Primary at 2911 State street. At this place the regular ticket was contested.

It was bard to say accurately which was the "regular" as both have tat word on the head lines. The Mackin ticker, however, seems to have had the most regular" indorsement so far as the party was concerned. for it had grown out of the Jefferson Club of the ward. The other ticket had for its ostensible mission the defeat of the Mackin ticket. The representatives of the opposition say that they kept tally on the outside and that a reliable count will show that they were ahead so far as the number of ballots was concerned, but they confess they were beaten, for Mackin had all the judges.

The Mackin ticket was for the following delegates: E. B. Ring, John O'Neill, Bernard McNeil, Jonas Hutchinson, James Sheehan. John S. Mulliner, B.

Sienank, James L. Ross, John Morris. Morris, Sheehan, and Ross were on both tickets, and are said to be for Melville W. Fuller. The other members are for Joseph Mackin and It.

Stone. The anti-Mackin crowd was badly disgruntled and threatened a contest. The following delegates were elected from Hyde Park: P. F. Ryan, J.

R. Hodson, John Milan. Robert Hawkins, P. C. Crawford, and James Tobin.

It is understood that one or two of the delegates go into the convention pledged. The delegates chosen in Lake were: Charles Cotsenherg, George N. Chase, Thomas Gahan, Patrick Delany, Edwin E. Brown, Edward Hartigan. Byan John Masquelef, Luke O'Toole.

REIMBURSING sETTreas The House Committee on Public Lancia has directed a favorable report on the bill appropriating 13250,000 to reimburse persons who settled neon or purchased lands within the grant made to the Northern Kansas Railroad Company anti to whom patents for such lands were issued but against whose right to the land decisions were rendered by the United States courts on account of the priority of the grant to the railroad company. The bill provides that the reimbursement shall be at the rate of $3.50 per acre. THE UNION PACIFIC EXHIBIT. Secretary Teller has modified the Government experts' report on the Union Pacific Company, and the officials of the road now declare themselves better satisfied. The point of difference is understood to be that the experts tailed to place among the assets certain amounts due the company.

Counsel for the railroad, it is said, convinced Secretary Teller that these sums are clearly assets. Hence the modification. The report as modified will be considerably more favorable to the road than the original draft. THE ITNION PACIFIC. The meeting of the Union Pacific Directors In New York tomorrow will attract much attention in railroad and financial circles.

The greatest interesis centered in the probability of a dividend deing declared tor July and the exoectation of the election of a new resident. From a reliable source it is learned that Sidney Dillon will send In his resignation and Charles Francis Adams, of Boston, will be elected President. It is also learned that the condition of the road Is such that a dividend cannot be delared honestly and in all probability will be passed. The report of tbe experts detailed by the Commissioner of Railroads has not yet been given out. Copies were prepared today for Senator Edmunds and the Judiciary Committee.

The attempts of the road's attorney. Mr. Adams, to nave the figures changed to make a more favorable showitut have failed. The set-offs against the floating debt, which he claimed should be allowed, are not Excepted by the Government experts. One of the items he offered was for fuel anel stock on hand to the amount of nearly 23,000.000.

This, the Government contends, cannot be called a set-off, for the reason that for every ton of coal burned another must be bought to take its place, and so with other material in use. Although the report is guarded with the most jealous care, it can be stated that it shows a floating debt for Union Pacific of $11,400.000. Comparisons are made for the months of January, February, March, and April in the present year with the corresponding months in 1882 and 1883. The figures for last May are estimated, and they also are oflered In comparison. Compared with Iss3 a net loss is shown of $2,000,000, $1,500,000 of which is on the first quarter.

Compared with 18s2, which is the best year the road had, and the fairest in all lenses for comparison the loss is greater. The earnings for the branch roads do not give any comforting facts. It is not believed the road svill be able to declare a dividend even for the third quarter of this year. blr. Adams' selection will, It is believed, inspire confidence in New England, where most of the securities of the road are held.

EXTRAORDINARY PENSION PROPOSITIONS, ONE OF WHICH MAKES SENATOR SHERMAN'S GORGE RISE. WASHINGTON, D. June 15.The proceedings of the Senate this week bid fair to be unusually important, and they may result in legislation which will commit the Government to the payment of over $300,000,000. The Senate has got into deep water. The Mexican Pension bill has made the basis of other extraordinary pension propositions which will come up for consideration probably tomorrow.

An amendment embracing several sections, reported favorably from the Pensions Committee, is pending. It contains provisions which, if enacted into a law, would increase the annual pensions expenditures over $50,000,000. Another amendment, offered by Senator Ingalls, proposes to carry out the pledge of the Republican Chicago platform, which declares: The Republican party pledges itself to the repeal of the limitation contained in the Arrears of Pensions act of 1879 so that invalid soldiers shall share alike, and their pensions shall begin with the date of disability or discharge, and not with the date of the application." Mr. Ingalls declares that be will press his amendment to a vote. The proposition, if put on the statute books, would call for an expenditure of over $246,000,000.

This is the estimate of the Commissioner of Pensions as sun-milted to the Senate last week. The Senate is thus brought face to face with several questions more important than anything pending before that body this session. There are indications that some of the Republican Senators will not consent at this time to burden the Treasury with an additional enormous pension demand of over $246,000,000. Senator Sherman has revolted against this extraordinary proposition. With my present convictions," says he, and in view of the enormous demands made upon the Treasury, I would not vote.

and will not vote if pressed, for the amendment moved by the Senator from Kansas, and the quotation of a political platform will not change my views." It remains to be seen whether other Republican Senators will declare similar views. It is probable that if the pending propositions should be considered without partisan strife and contention the country may be spared this colossal pension scheme. But the chances al-e that the pension demagogs of both parties will join hands and control both branches of Congress. The House Pensions Committee has already reported a bill proposing to repeal the arrears limitation. A CASE OF LEPROSY IN NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, June John Seibert, aged 25, admitted to the Charity Hospital Feb. 23, died last evening of what the physicians diagnosed as leprosy. About a sear ago the unmistakable symptoms of the terrible disease first appeared. Seibert bad been engaged in hauling dead cattle to bone-yards, and the disease was attributed to handling the carrion. When he first became aware that he had the loathsome disease he went to New York and consulted eminent physicians.

They afforded him no relief, and he gradually became worse. He returned to his home here. In February last he became desperate and attempted several times to put an end to his life. His limbs were terribly distorted and his face swollen until his most intimate friends could scarcely have recognized him. ARRIVALS AT HOT SPRLNGS.

Ilk REPLIES TO MR. INGALLS. WASHINGTON, D. June17.In the Senate, after the reading of the journal, Mr. Brown rose to a question of privilege.

He had the Clerk read the remarks Mr. Ingalls made yesterday relating to Brown's revision of his (Brown's) remarks made in debate Friday last. When the Clerk had concluded the reading Mr. Brown said he bad not replied to Mr. Ingalls' remarks yesterday because he did not wish to speak under irritation which Mr.

Ingalls' remarks were calculated and intended to provoke. In what he had to say he would keep within the decorum of the Senate, and had reduced his remarks to writing. He called the attention of the Senate to the insulting and opprobrious language used by the Senator from Kansas (Ingalls) toward members of the Senate, who could not repel such insults without violating the rules which all Senators were in honor bound to obey. Mr Brown did not wish to glaze over. this matter.

The charge of the Senator from Kansas was that of falsifying the record" and "committing forgery upon the records of the Senate." This language was a deliberately-planned insult, and uttered not Only in violation of the rules of the Senate but in defiance of the authority of the presiding officer. The Chair remarked that if the Senator was employing that language to the Senator from Kansas he (Brown) was doing the thing be was charging against that Senator in accusing a brother Senator and deliberately planning an insult The Chair said the Senator from Georgia was out of order. Mr. BrownThen, sir, that remark is withdrawn under the ruling of the Chair. The remarks of the Senator from Kansas, Mr.

Brown not made hastily, but after two days had elapsed min after an ample and, as Brown supposed, satisfactory disclaimer from himself had been made ot all offensive imputation. Mr. Brown then referred to the unbroken custom of revision accordod to Senators. No matter how accurate a reporter may be he could not hear all the Senators with equal distinctness. Had the Senator from Kansas called his (Brain's) attention to the words complained of, as was usual in such cases, he would voluntarily and publicly have divested the language of every trace of even seeming unkindness or depreciation.

Notwithstanding the assurances given in the Senate by Mr. Brown, the senator from Kansas Imo persisted in his purpose of insulting a Senator-The thought this observation out of Order. Mr. Brown submitted to the Senate whether were then pulled chit of Senator tannin 1 pocket and rend. The Hon.

Secretary Frellughuysen has noticed Gov. Curtin, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

that be will read to the comznittees, in official confidence, the documents and correspondence which the Administration and those interested in the Nicaragua Canal concession are making great efforts to keep secret. The members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee have not yet been advised as to the details of the plan ot the State Department, but it is no longer a secret that, in a general way, this sum is wanted to keep alive the existing concession to the Nicaragua Canal Company, in which Gen. Grant, Capt. Seth L. Fhelps, Minister to Peru, and others are interested, as well as to obtain additional concessions from the Nicaragua Government and to make an absolute cession to the United States through the Government of Nicaragua of a tract of land in perpetuity wide enougn for the construction of a canal with all its appurtenances along the Nicaragua route, and the implied threat which is connected with this proposition is, that unless the United States Government shall make this appropriation now and approve the of the State Department thb French Government will be very likely to obtain this concession.

THE M-ICKED ATTACK MADE ON MR. MACKIN'S BALLOT-BOX. Interest In the Democratic primaries yesterday centered mainly in the First and Second Wards, where the machine and anti-machine men of the First Congressional District have so long been at war. Those who anticipated trouble In these wards were not disappointed.

Particularly were their expectations realized In the First Ward, for here the machine men, with Joe Mackin at the head, had stood firm la their resolution not to give the other faction one of the three judges. The anti-machine crowd, or regular Democrats, as they style themselves, decided not to hold a separate primary, but to prepare a separate delegate ticket and take all possible steps to insure an honest vote. They feared a stuffed ballot-box, and early in the afternoon Aid. Whelan, Stephen Albert, and other independent leaders held a consultation, and agreed upon a scheme to thwart the Mackin faction in any effort at stuffing. What this.

scheme was fully appeared at 5 o'clock when the polls opened under the Palmer House, on State street. That hour found a large and excited congregation of First Ward Democrats In front of the polls, the "kickers largely predominating. Prominent in their ranks were Aid. Whelan, Stephen Albert, John Stearns, Pat White, and Frank E. Owens.

Inside were Joe Mackin, Henry Everhart, and Tom McNally, the three machine judges. At exactly 5 o'clock Mr. Mackin began to announce that the primary had opened. While he was talking McNally shoved a ticket In the box. Aid.

Whelan, with White and Owens behind him, stood in front of Mackin, and while she latter was talking demanded that the ballot-box be opened and exhibited to the crowd. Mr. Mackin Ignored the Alderman. The Alderman repeated his demand, and the gang howled "Show us the box," but Joseph only puffed mere vigorously at his cigar. Then, while a yell went up from the crowd, Whelan crowded into the room and was followed by White and Owens.

Mackin grabbed up the box and hugged it under his arm, but Only for a moruetit. IV helah jerked 11 itwa.Y from NOTES OF THE SESSION. RESTORED TO PRACTICE. WASIIINGTON9 D. June 17.N.

In the Fifth Ward an independent ticket was put in the field against the regular ticket.

The entire regular ticket, with the exception of two names, was elected, the independents securing the election of C. Kramer and John Dwyer in their stead. The following were the delegates chosen: Charles Klutsch, T. C. Hickey, John Lang, Rob-, ert Evers, Michael McNamara, James T.

Cullerton, John Nolan, Herman Hagerman, James Dooley, Patrick McCadin, Richard Grant, John O'Connor, Edward Cassidy, William Dolman, Charles Monear, I.

M. Diamond, John Long, James Donohue, Martin Ward. They are of course for Cullerton and Midreth as the district delegates, and favor Barrison as the head of the delegates-at-large. The following ticket, the handiwork of HIMreth, received 489 votes, with no opposition, in the Seventh Ward: J. H.

Hlidreth. Daniel McCarthy, Joseph Werner, Morgan Murphey, R. F. Buckley, J. J.
