THE WHEAT RATE. A Belief That the Traffic will Be Killed If It iu Changed. Baltimore, July 27.

The following letter in reference to the advance in rates for fast bound wheat has been received by William F. Wheatley, secretary of the Baltimore Corn and Flour Exchange, from Vice President Frank Thomson, of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Our road very carefully considered the question before agreeing to tho advance in tho rate, and in view of the advanced lake and rail rates tho conclusion was that the higher rate would not. necessarily prevent or curtail shipments to Baltimore. We believe that it is too early in the season to anticipate tho course of trade in this article, but if it should be found, after the advance is established, that the business in your port hail been stopped or limited in its operations, we could then take some other measures. Amoderato trade in wheat is being done by Baltimore merchants now, but shipments arc already beginning to go elscwhoro in anticipation of the expected advance.

President Louts Muller, ot the Corn and Flour Exchange, says that unless tho rate is kept at 2o cents tho wheat traffic will be practically killed aftor August 1, when the change goes into effect. TARRED A.l FEATHERED. Summary Vengeance Upon an Old Assailant. Cananiiaioua. N.

What Secretary Tracy "Will Bec ommend to Congress. lie Appoints a Board to Carry Out His Plan for Organization or the Navy Sliipsto be Constructed With a View of Service During War and Peace.

Washington, D. July 27. One of the recommendations likely to be incorporated in the report of Secretary Tracy to Congress this Fall is that all the vessels built or purchased by the Government be constructed with a view to service in time of war as smaller naval vessels. Said a prominent official of the Navy Pepartment speaking of this subject: If we are going to have a navy let us build it up by all the means in our power and make every vessel owned by the Government, a part of it, to be used for its primary purpose in time of peace, but effective for offense and defense in time of war. There are probably a hundred revenue cutters, light houso tenders, and vessels operated in the service of the fish commission, coast survey, which could be and should be so constructed as to form a powerful arm of the navy in time of need.

As it is, they are built without regard for the protection of their machinery or facilities for carrying armament. Both of these could bo provided without materially increasing the cost of the vessels. Other nations do not spend their money for slaps of any kind that cannot be converted into war ships 111 easeof necessity, and the United States should follow their example. Ihe light house tenders, for instance, with their crews familiar with the planting of buoy sand handling Ground tackle, would prove invaluable as torpedo boats. All Government vessels should bo built on plana prepared in the Navy Department and furnished on equisition by the department ill the regular service ot wnicn nicy are to oe pia, cu.

In this way a powerful and model navy conld.be built up, and I think the powers that be recognize this tact. Secretary Tracy, in order to carry out this luoa of unity in the plan and organization of the Navy, has appointed a Board composed or the following members: Commodore W. P. MeCann, Captain It. L.

Phythian, Captain V. T. Sampson, Commander W. 51. Folger, Lieutenant Commander Willard H.

Brownson, Ensign Philip It. AlRer, recorder. This Board will formulate and report to tho Secretary a general plan to be followed in building up the navy, of how many and of what classes of vessels it should consist, how ranch should be appropriated each year for construction, so that within a reasonable poriod of time the model or ideal navy should be completed, what will be tho probable deterioration by wear and tear and how great an expenditure wiil lie necessary miiiiially for repairs and renewals to overcome that deterioration; anil generally such information as the members of the Board may possessor be able to collect upon this subject to enable the Secretary in his communications to Congress to speak intelligently and intelligibly. Heretofore there has been no general plan of constructing and organizing a navy proponed or adopted, and this action of the Secretary is very favorably received by the ollicials of the department. Secretary Tracy left this afternoon for Babylon, Jj.

where his family are stopping. He will return to Washington Tuesday. TWO GAMES. Staten Island ac'rosie Team J'lay in Fine Form at out real. July 27.

Tho international lacrosse match, played this afternoon on the Grounds of the Amateur Athletic Association, resulted in three games j'nr Montreal against two for Staien Island.

Dr. Israel Derrick to recover $22.50 for printiug done for the Bethel African Methodist Church, of which Mr. Derrick is pastor. Brother Derrick: appeared in Justice Connor ton's Court and denied that he was responsible for the debt. "I am but the spiritual head of the church and adviser of the trustees.

The. printing was done on the order of an irresponsible person, who was neither a trustee nor a member of the church in full standing and had no authority to represent the church." Parson Derrick referred to John A. Shaw, who wanted President Cleveland to appoint him Minister to Liberia. Mr. Shaw was in court and a war of words ensuod.

Mr. Derrick says that $300 was collected to improve tho church, but lie does not know what has become of the money. It was to have been turned over to Henry Carpenter as trustee Mr. Carpenter says that he received about $100, and soon after paid it over to John A. Shaw.

The church was raised on stilts so that a cellar could be built under it, but there was no money to pay for the work and tho building stood in danger of being blown down. Seeing the fix tho colored peoplo were in, somo charitable ladies got together $300 and had the now foundations laid, thereby making Brother Derrick very happy. Dr. Derrick is a well known stump speaker, always championing the Republican candidates. He was recently elected socrctary of the African M.

E. Mission Society, at a salary of $1,000. Only six of the olovon bishops were present and tho vote stood four to two.

A BIONIKIED SERVANT GIRL. Justice Hewlett, of Woodsburgh, had beforo him on Friday a ease which lie regards as tho most heinous since, he ascended the local bench. Miss Maggie Farrell, a servant girl with a pretty faco and a model figure, was the complainant against Philip O'Brien and Charles Sully. Tho defendants waived examination and were sent to the County Jail to await the action of the Grand Jury, which will not meet until September. MiBS Farrell was visited on SVednesday night by a lady frioud whom sho escorted homo at a little after 9 o'clock.

Miss Farrell was sauntering homoward when O'Brien and Sully met her. Sho was slightly acquainted with both men and after an exchange of courtesies they proposed walking home with her. On the way Sully suggested that the party go tho house of another girl and give her a surprise. The route lay over a road that is travoled but little and when the trio roached the loneliest spot Miss Farrell was cruelly maltreated. She denies that she was chloroformed.

Sully's part in the crime was more serious than O'Brien's, but they are equally guilty under the law. The men made no attompt to escape and when arraigned pleadod not guilty. Sully showed his dread of tho consequences of his crime by offering to marry Miss Farrell, who spurned tho proposal. He is said to bo engaged to tho girl who was to be given the surprise, but the proposal was probably a pretext to induce Miss Farrell to leave the neighborhood of her residence LOVE TAPS OVElt THE GARDEN WALL. Dusky society in Flushing is very much amused over a scrap which occurod on fashionable Lincoln avenue, between Miss Carrie Sherman and Mrs.

Theodore Jarvis, whose husband lias made her extremely jealous by tho many attentions ho pays to Miss Sherman. Jarvis slipped away from homo with suspicious secrecy after tea, and his wife, putting this and that together, concluded ho was bent on somo mischief and sallied forth to detect his little tricks. "There will bo blood on the moon if I catch him with that yellow wench," she said to a neighbor. It was twilight and she could discern objects in tho distance. At the house where Miss Sherman resides there is a garden wall fringed with ivy, and there hanging over it in sweet converse were Jarvis and Miss Sherman.

Mrs. Jarvis came upon tho scene like one hurled from a catapult and ruthlessly smote the coffeo colored girl on the nose, kicking Theodoro in the abdomen when he interfered with the orderly intliction of chastisement upon her rival. Miss Sherman retreated hastily, and, after taking time for reflection and concluding that her dignity had been outraged, she. obtained a warrant from Justice Smith for Mrs. Jarvis' arrest.

Tho latter retaliated by causing her husband's arrest for abandonment, he having resented her interference with his sweet communion by remaining away from homo. Tho Court placed Mrs. Jarvis under bonds to keep the peace and adlournod tho trial foriabandonment until August 7. AFHAIl) OF AN ARMED NEGRO. The police authorities in Babylon wantEphraim Mills, colored, very badly, but it is said that none of them has the nervo to take him in.

Tho officers pretend that they do not know where ho is, but ho is seen every day by tho citizens. He goes armed to the teeth. When seen on thoDeor Park road on Friday he had two revolvers and a knife hanging from a belt at bis waist. The man who saw him reported the fact in Babylon. Mills worked at tho Argyle Hotel.

Ho met Miss Delia Jackson on the highway at West Babylon and gave her a choking that came near being fatal. Mills has a brother serving a term in tho State Prison for a similar offense. SENT THEM BOTH TO JAIL. Justice Morrell, of Manhasset, sentenced John Meyers and Patrick Fcaley to tho Queens County Jail, the former for three months and the latter for two months, and there is a warrant out for Henry Miller, their partner iu the crime of assaulting and nearly murdonng Farley Lockliart. The threo men were on a spree, and, being refused drinks at Schneider's saloon, they attacked Lockhart, and later waylaid him on the highway and beat him mercilessly.

DELAYED THE INTERMENT. The burial of William Drake in Oakwood Cometory, at Bay Side, was attended with a degree of mental torture to tho deceased's relativos. Joseph Preston, the sexton of the cemetery, received the burial pormit from the undertaker, and thon refused to allow the interment to proceed. No amount of entreaty would induce him to yield anil threats of prosecution were appliod. but it was only upon the threat to chastise him that he removed tho embargo.

Hie outrageous conduct is explained by tho statement that he was under the influence of liquor. I1A11YLON PROPERTY UNDER FORECLOSURE. Nine aud a half acres of land and a large dwelling house on the west side of Doer Park avenue, in Babylon, owned by Margaret T. Grady, were sold under foreclosure at the Sherman Houso. Dr.

Edward Dodd was tho purchaser at $1 0,000. The first mortgage was for $7,500 and Dr. Dodd held a second lien for $2,500. Fonrtoen years ago, when Dr. Dodd married Miss Foster, the bride's father gavo thein this property as a wedding present and it was valued at $20,000.

It is probable that Dr. Dodd will place the land on the market. QUARRELED AND WENT TO LAW. Winfiold S. Yelsor, of Islip, has sued James W.

Eaton to recover $3,000 alleged to bo due for the construction of a cottage for tho defendant. The building was begun lato in 1887 and was to bo completed January 1, 1888, under a forfeiture by the contractor of $10 for every day tho house remained unfinished.

Miles and Skirmer to make an autopsy and detormino the cause of the infant's demise. They concluded that it was from an internal malformation, and the Jury rendered a verdict to that effect. SUFFERING 1'KOM BLOOD POISONING. Isaac Diekerson, a vetorinary surgeon of Brook yille, while performing an operation on a horse, The Attorney General Approves Solicitor Chapman's Opinion. WAsniNOTON, D.

July 27. The opinion of Solicitor Chapman, of the Treasury Department, on the question of allowing Chineso laborers from Cuba to pass through tho United States from New Orleans to San Francisco, en route to China, and which was approved by Attorney General Miller, was made public today. It is stated in the opinion that: The samo question arose under the act of May 0, 1882. It was submitted to this department, and tho opiuion of December 2(i, 1882 (reconsidering a former opinion), was given. Tho conclusions reachod in that opinion I believo to be correct.

Moreovor it appears that from that time tho Department of State uniformly, and the Treasury Department generally, havo recognized and acted upon tho construction given therein, at least down to tho passage of the act of October 1. 1888. Manifestly, tho actof July 5, 188 t. did not render the opinion inapplicable to the question submitted. Nor docs the act of October 1, 188S, known as the Scott exclusion act (25 stats at large 504), affects its application.

That act was directed to Chinese laborers who had been or might be residents here, and related to their departure and return. I have been ablo to find no other legislation bearing materially upon the question. But it is possible that some of the collectors of customs to whom you refer may have been iulluenced by the stringent provisions of tho act of Septembor 13, 1888. Tho restrictive provisions of that act, however, bv its very terms do not take effect till the date of the exchange of ratifications of the pending treaty, lyhioli date has not yet arrived. I therefore adopt the carefully considered opinion of this department, given under date of De cemiier 20, 1882, as expressing my views upon the question you submit without additional argument.

'mim'n is a In a a I Horrible Tragedy in an Influential Columbus Man's Household. The Slayer Follows Up Ills Deadly Work by Fatally Shooting Himself This Was tho Second Double Murder in the Family. Columhus, July 27. A horrible tragedy occurred hero early this morning. Christian Weinman', one of tho wealthiest and most influential citizens of West Columbus, at about 2 o'clock this morning blew his wife's brains out with a shot gun aud then fatally shot himself with a revolver.

Weinman, who is a man past middle age. was found lying on a sofa in tlie sitting room of tlie handsome residence, 272 West Broad street. His arms wore around his wife, who was dead. Police Surgeon ScUulze was sent for and word was sent to Police Commissioner Denis Kelly of tlie affair. The murdered woman was his sister.

She ami her husband had quarreled much. He was a machinist and wealthy, but was bo irritable that a tragedy between him and his wife has been predicted. Weinman not yet dead, but cannot live throughout tho day. The woman's head was completely blown from the body, tho barrel of the gun evidently being placed right against the head. This is the second double murder in the Weinman family.

Christian Weinman's brother was killed some years ago by their father, who then killed himself. The difficulty was in regard to money matters. The family has alwaj's been unown as a passionate one, although some of the members of it are connected by marriage with the best people of the city, and Weinman's terrible end, although hardly expected, is not to many altogether a surprise. They leave six children, the eldest being daughter of about 17 years of age. CINCINNATI'S LIQUOR LAW.

He Is Also Looking for a Conference Between Himself, Count Kalnoky nnd B. de Giers to Obliterate All Misunderstandings. Copyright, 1889, by the New York Associated Press.

Berlin, July 27. Tho greatest diplomatic triumph of Prince Bismarck's life will be achieved if ho succeeds in his latest project, which is to arrange a meeting between the Czar, Emperor Francis Joseph and Emperor William in Berlin. News of the Czar's assent to the proposal that ho should visit tho German Court on August 23 was received at tho Foreign Oitice on Monday, causing the greatest satisfaction. Frinco Bismarck immediately communicated with Count Kalnoky, calling his attention to tho opportunity presented by the nearly coincident visits of the Czar and Emporor Francis Joseph, and proposing that an interview bo held between the three monarchs, aB well as conferences between himself, Count Kalnoky aud M. de Giers, the object being to dissipate all misunderstandings.

Officials hero have been instructed to maintain absolute silence. They deny all knowledge of the Czar's intentions and declare that they cannot count even upon a visit from him. The semi official press has been similarly directed to maintain reserve on the subject, on tho ground that criticism might alter the present favorable disposition of the Czar. Tho official circle in Vienna is less observant of secrecy, and discusses the chances of an interview. Count Kalnoky, it is stated, has placed himself in Bismarck's hands, but refuses to make any overtures to the Ozar regarding a meeting with Emperor Francis Joseph.

If Prince Bismarck persuades the Czar to consent to the interview, the Austrian Emperor will postpone his coming until the 18th. He will not be present when Emperor William receives tho Czar, but will go to Kiel for the naval review, returning afterward to Potsdam, where it is intended the Emperors shall moot. The Chancellor will return here on the 12th and remain throughout the visits of the Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph, lie is supposed to be aiming not at a definite treaty of alliance involving Russia in the Central European league, but only to establish better relations betweon tho three empires and bulk French negotiations from offensive and defensive alliance with Russia. Ha has a foothold for a renewed enteuto the Czar's incroascd intensity of hatred for tho Anarchists. Recent communications with St.

Petersburg regarding the plotting of refugees in Switzerland, leading to a common pressure upon the Swiss Government afford a basis for concerted actoin by tho three powers agaiust Socialists, Anarchists and Nihilists. A definite understanding as to this sphere of action would tend to modify existing enmities. Even if ouly tho semblance of mity were obtainod, it would give new guarantees of peace for several years. Prince Bismarck's chances of arranging an interviow have been strengthened by the surport of the Russian ambassador, Count SchouvalofY, but everything depends upon tho mood of the Czar. The Kmiz Zfitung has semi ofiicial advices from St.

Petersburg, saying: "The Czar, who has frequently altered his intentions regarding tho return of the visit of Emperor William, has now assented, under the persistent entreaties of M. de Giers and M. Vishuegradaki. Since the Borki accident the Czar has had a morbid dread of a railway journey, even with tho entire route guarded by select troops. He will bo accompanied to Berlin by tho Empress and the whole imperial family.

The party will proceed to Copenhagen after leaving Berlin." Russian papers, however, do not believe that tlta Czar's assent will be obtained by Prince Bismarck, even though backed by M. do Giers aud Count Schou valoff. The A oiioe Vrcmva declares that tho Czar goes to Berlin simply as an act of courtesy and that his visit will have no bearing upon the European situation, unless Germany changes her policy by consenting to satisfy the logitimato aspirations of Russia. Emperor William arrived at Wilhelmshavcn this morning. As the imperial yacht was sighted entering the roads salutes were fired by the war ships in tho harbor and by shore batteries.

When his majesty disembarked a guard of honor on tho quay presented arms and the band played tho national anthem. An immense Jurowd, including hosts of visitors, were assembled to greet the emperor. His majesty is bronzed and vigorous looking. Immediately upon landing ho sont a telegram to the empress, who, accompanied by her four sons, left Kifsingen at 2 o'clock this afternoon for Wilhelmshavcn. Their majesties will remain there until Wednesday, when the emperor will leave for England.

Count Herbert Bismarck, General Hahnke and Dr. l.uoamis, oinoi oi ine uivn uaoniet, nave gone to attend the Empcron. Count Von Waldersco will return hero. Ho will not acompany the Emperor to England. Within an hour after his arrival the Emperor ordered the admiralty to report on the arrest of ollicials in connection with the naval frauds.

Sev oral officials left Kiel to night for Wilhemsliaveii. The papers are obliged to maintain reservo and only record the fact that the arrests extend to contractors and marine officials at Dantzig, Hamburg. Stettin, Wilheiushaven and Berlin. The position of the parsons arrested aud the wide ramifications of the frauds have sent a thrill of indignation and shame throughout the empire. To day's talk in the official circle represents the Emperor as furious.

He is said to have sent telegram after telegram to tho highest officials regarding the. matter. Hovr Cromer, a highly placed official at Kiel, is reported to have committed suicide after his arrest. It is stated that he was found bleeding to death in his cell, having opened the veins in his arm, and that he died while being takon to a hospital. The Freisinntoe Zeidtng announces the arrest of the chief controller of tho Kiel workshops and of a prominent merchant of Mindcn, who for many years has been supplying stores for the Kiel and Wilhelm shaven stations.

They are imprisoned in Berlin. The severity of the sentences pronounced on the forty eight miners convicted at Breslau of rioting during the recent strikn there will probably lead to an appeal to tho Emperor. The prisoners are all under 20 years of age, and a number of them aro not more than 1 (i years old. An article in the PTurfh German (fazelte on strikes shows an ominous change of front on tho pari of the Government to ward the miners. It argues that the recent strikes were a manifest abuse of the right of coalition.

Semi ofiicial newspapers concur and predict that the result of the commission of inquiry into the miners' grievances will be nil, and that the Government will cease to interfere beyond suppressing breaches of the law. Dr. Teters has sent a letter from East Africa to tho Cologne Gazette, in which lie accuses tho English Admiral Freemantle, of seizing tho Peters' expedition steamer Neera, after ihe expedition had landed outside the blocade limits, although the vessel had no contraband of war aboard. The Coloyne Gazette, declares that unless the government speedily adopts decisive measures the English will completely oxclude tho Germans from Contra'. Africa.
