New Yobk, July 15. Dun, Barlow &
Go's circular gives the total failures in
the United States and territories for the
second quarter of the present year as
1534 in number, with $22,000,000 liabili
ties, notably less than in any single
quarter for the past five years. Compar
ed with the second quarter of 1878, there
is a decrease of 900 failures and $20,000
000 in the quarter which ended last
month. The total failures in California
last quarter were 72 ; total liabilities,
$831,000. , Of this number and amount
San Francisco bad 56 failures and $731,
000 liabilities. The total failures in
Colorado last quarter were. 14 ; total lia
bilities, $123,836. The circular says :
Never before in our experience in the
computation of these statistics has the
decrease in mercantile casualties been so
marked ; in no period has a comparison
of losses by bad debts been so favorable
as at the present hour. In relation to
growth in the volume of business in the
past six months, as compared with trans
actions in the same period in 1878, re
turns from all clearing houses in the
country, some 22 in number, show the
total settlements or balances to be adjust
ed between the various banks, and indi
cate an increase of business all over the
country exceeding 9 per cent. The cir
cular says respecting Colorado : It is es
timated that between $5,000,000 and $6,
000,000 have been invested in mining op
erations Bince the 1st of January.
The Nortn Pacific Fishing Grounds.
Regarding a recent - Berlin dispatch,
relative to the relations between Russia
and the United States concerning the
Alaska fisheries, a Washington special
eays : Nothing is known at the Btate de
partment about any such negotiations.
It is probable that the American minis
ter at St. Petersburg may have received
from the Russian government Borne pri
vilege for American fishermen to land on
the shores of Kamtchatka and the sea of
Okhotsk, but as the waters of Alaska,
within the jurisdiction of the United
States, abound with every variety of fish
known to that latitude, there is no ocoa
tion for this government negotiating with
Russia to . securer- additional fishing
grounds. '

The Matter of Fever Investigation Con
sidered In Cabinet.
Washisotox, Joly 18. A cabinet meeting
to-day was very brief; with the exception of
a few routine matters, the only subject under
consideration was a request of the national
board of health that medical officers may be
detailed to foreign countries where fever is
known to exist for tbe purpose of examining
all vessets bound for the United States and to
such as are not infected, issuing clean bills of
health. The question arose whether under
tbe act empowering the board, such details
were mandatory, but it was not finally deter
mined. The sentiment of the members pres
ent appeared to be that it would be very un
just to detail these officers to such places at
tbe risk of their lives. It is known that there
has been considerable hesitation about order
ing either army or naval surgeons to such
duty, unless as in the case of supply ship sent
down the Mississippi river last summer, vol
untary offers shall be msde.

San Feancisco, July 16. The demo
cratic state central committee met this
morning to consider the question of pall
ing down Glenn's name from the head of
the ticket on account of his implied
promise to support the H. B. ticket.
Before taking action a committee was
appointed to consult with Glenn, and are
now In session. .."'
At a meeting of the democratic state
central committee to-day to take into con
sideration the question of hauling down
Dr. Glenn's name, he was denounced as
a traitor to the democratic party and J.
P. Hoge and Controller Brown demand
ed his displacement from the head of the
ticket. Mayor Bryant deprecated hasty
action, and a committee of four, with T.
M. O'Connor at its head was appointed
to wait upon Dr. Glenn and request his
. attendance before the committee to an-
twer a few questions. Recess was then
aken. At about 1 o'clock Glenn return
ed with the committee, and when asked
to explain what he meant by his letter to
the H. Bs., said that it expressed all that
he felt npon the subject . that he had
been nominated by the H. Bs., and in
justice to them he would have to support
the ticket, as he had been first nominated
by them. This ended the conference.
and after some debate it was decided to
adjourn without taking action until Sat
erday next at 1 o'clock, and in the mean
time to ascertain the sentiments of the
party upon the question of hauling
Glenn down. It is believed that a large
majority of the committee were in favor
of taken him off the ticket, and Stephens
of Sacramento had aeven proxies in his
possession which he was ready to vote in
the affirmative. It is charged that the
movement to take Glenn off the ticket
has its origin with the friends of Gover
nor Irwin who wants to substitute him
for Glenn.
More Dupont Street Slum.
San Fbancibco, July 15. The Bulle
tin, this afternoon, will publish another
instalment of Tibbey' stestimony before
the grand jury, showing how fraudulent
warrants on the Dupont street commis
sion were manipulated.
The testimony of Tibbey, published
to-day by the Bulletin, is as follows :
Warrant No. 23, for $5,500, was paid
to Pierson to be used as hush money in
setting up certain disputed assessments.
Warrant No. 125 was issued to redeem a
wai rant of the Seventh street commission
after it had become of no -value by de
cision of the county court, for $1,050 for
rent at an increased rate. Mayor Bryant
holds the warrant, and has made no ac
count of it. Warrant No. 130, for $550,
was issued to pay an amount claimed by
Eugene McCarthy for services as arbi
trator. The board refused to pay it at
first, but afterwards, on representations
of Pierson that McCarthy threatened to
expose the rascality of the proceedings
of the commission, it was paid, Maynard
protesting and favoring letting McCarthy
do his worst. Warrant No. 116, for $109
to the San Francisco Daily Mail, was
issued without any value. No advertis
ing of any kind was ordered in this pa
per. It was paid by direction of the
mayor, after being notified that no bill
of the kind was due and no claim existed.
No action was taken by the board.
Warrant No. 112, for $35,000, and war
rant No. 131, for $20,000, were diverted
and transferred from the Dupont street
fund to the Dupont street coupon fund.
No authority of any kind in law existed
for these transfers ; neither did the board
of commissioners order it done. The
mayor instructed me to draw these war
rants and the treasurer would receipt for
the money.
By section 11 of the Dupont street act
the board were limited to the sale of
bonds to such an amount as would pro
duce the Bum total of that required for
lands taken, improvements and estimat
ed expenses, in all $914,991. Notwith
standing this, and in direct violation, of.
the law under which the board was creat
ed and was acting, they sold 53 bonds of
$1000 in excess of the amount their re'
port showed to be due, .
On one occasion James Phelan put in
a bid for a large amount of Dupont street
bonds, something over $100,000, and ac
companied his bid with a certified check
on the First National Gold Bank, payable
to the treasurer, ' for $10,000. His bid
proved to be the highest and best bid,
and was accepted. Mr. Phelan was so
notified, and that his bonds were ready
for delivery. Upon learning that bis
bid was so much higher than the others,
he refused to take the bonds, and his
check was declared forfeited, and Phelan
notified in writing to that effect, and the
treasurer was instructed to draw tne
check and place the money in the Du
pont street fund. No account anywhere
appears of this money Mr. Phelan put
in another bid for a much lower figure,
and under it he received the bonds. "
the wild cheers of the crowd. The match
closes at 11 this evening.
Noon In the walking match, at an
early hour this morning, Edwards suc
ceeded in passing Mclntyre, and assum
ed the lead, which he has since reiained,
and by steady work increased it seven
miles, the soore then standing : Edwards,
345 ; Mclntyre, 338 ; Callahan, 325 ;
Bowman, 315. Scott,- with a score of 801,
has been off the track since yesterday
evening, completely used np. .Mclntyre s
friends are not yet ready to throw up the
sponge," although their , champion seems
in no condition to recover the ground he
has lost against a comparatively fresh
man like Edwards. Bowman and Calla
han are doing their best, the former to
gain and the latter to retain the third
position at the finish. Bowman ia in such
the best condition, but Callahan's pluck
may carry him through.
A Straight Ticket. ;
The democratic state central committee
have been in session all the evening and
concluded to rnn a straight ticket in the
state and counties, with Glenn probably
at the head. . The meeting was far from
harmonious.
The H. Be. Have a Red Hot Session.
The H. Ba' Btate central committee met
this afternoon, and had not adjourned at
midnight. There was a heated struggle
over the motion to take Glenn off. It is
rumored that if Glenn is taken, down
Geo. C. Gorham will be put in his place.
Glenn has friends in the committee, and
if he will take the pledge he will be re
tained. In that case it is said that he
will be nut off the democratic ticket. - '
Kdwarda Wins the Six-day Walking
. Match.
San Francisco, July 15. Over 10,000
attended the pavilion this evening to wit
ness the finish of the six-day walking
match. The greatest enthusiasm prevail
ed and the various candidates were loud
ly cheered as they went around the track.
Edwards walked slowly, occasionally
jogging a lap or two, but with no need
to hurry as he had seven miles lead.- He
was apparently in good condition, with
the exception of weariness from the exer
tion of the last few days in obtaining the
lead of Mclntyre. After a rest of twenty
minutes he resumed hie walk at 9 o'clock
going stiffly but improving somewhat af
ter a few laps. Contrary to expectation,
Scott also made his appearance on the
track, walking remarkably well consider
ing the broken down condition in which
he left it. Callahan had apparently giv
en up the contest for third position, and
just before 9 o'clock Bo win mi, who was
walking briskly and running (frequently,
scored 352 miles, placing him even with
Callahan. Newhoff, Armstrong and Mc
Farlane made some good laps on exhibi
tion. Old veteran Kennovan plodded
steadily along and Chenoweth came from
a long rest and hobbled painfully several
laps. About 10 o'clock most of the con
testants retired from the track until a few
minutes before 11, when Edwards reap
peared and ran two laps briskly. This
stimulated Scott, who went round at a
rapid run, amid tremendous cheering.
On nearing his tent his trainers took him
from the track by main force. At 5 min
utes to 11, Edwards, bearing the stars
and stripes, and surrounded by all the
contestants except Scott, walked slowly
around a couple of laps, thunders of ap
plause following his march. Scott's
friends raised him on their shoulders and
bore him to the judges stand, where the
closing score was announced, as follows :
Edwards, 371 miles and four laps, win
ning the belt and first money $1000 ;
Mclntyre, 364 miles and three laps, se
cond money $750 ; Bowman, 357 miles
and four laps, third money-500 ; Calla
han, 353 miles, fourth money $250 ;
Scott, 315 miles and four laps : Newhoff,
246 miles and six laps ; Kennovan, 218
miles and three laps ; Armstrong, 202
miles and two laps ; McFarlane, 188 miles
and three laps ; Santos, 184 ; Thompson,
180 ; Chenoweth, 172. The prfzes will
be distributed to-morrow evening. It is
understood that several contestants have
challenges prepared for Edwards. At 1
o'clock Thursday morning, the ladies'
match will begin. The six-days contest
has been a great success financially, and
has apparently been fairly carried out.
The poor scores made are undoubtedly
to the fact that' most of the contestants
had but little experience, and broke
themselves down at the begining.

Dangerous Assault.
On Sunday afternoon J. C. Robertson,
the principal teacher at -the Industrial
School, was assaulted by five boys and
received injuries from which it is doubt
ful if he ever recovers. - Mr. Robertson
was superintending the boys while they
were making their change of clothing in
the dormitory and had occasion to cor
rect a lad named Robert Weeks for some
infraction of rules. The rattan used by
him was not adequate for the purpose
and he left the room to procure a larger
one. While ne was absent, nve of the
boys determined to assault him when he
returned to administer the punishment.
Weeks seized the rattan and the five boys
gathered around him menacingly.. Mr.
Robertson observing that he was likely
to be seriously assaulted, backed towards
a crippled boy named Cokely whose
crutch he seized and he was about to
keep the boys at bay, when another of
his assailants, G. Bergen, fifteen years of
age, took a heavy clothes bar three in
ches square and five feet long and dealt
Mr. Robertson a blow on the head which
felled him to the flcor. He was picked
up immediately afterwards in a senseless
condition and taken to his room. From
that time to this Mr. Robertson has not
recovered consciousness and physicians
consider his condition extremely danger

penalty of tbe law, Cappers of the Schultz
ring, in order to shield their masters from
popular indignation, have circulated broad
cast npon the streets reports that
Schultx was not tbe real controller of
Bullion and Exchequer, and have hinted that
the bonanza firm was the power behind the
throne, at whose direction the assessments
were levied. Oo hearing these rumors, Mr.
Coleman immediately waited upon Mr.
Flood and told him what was said on the
streets. Flood immediately stamped these
rumors as falsehoods. He said that neither
he nor his firm bad angbt to do with Scbnltz
or any of his mines. Furthermore, he said
that he considered the recent assessments and
their alleged purpose to be an outrage, and

as a fraud on tbe public, alleging that the
coniesianis were watting on a weekly salary
instead of for the prizes ; that the local re
ports in one journal were paid for by tbe line,
and that free passes were issued ad libitum to
disreputable women to fill tbe seats and at
tract spectators- Other articles were to the
effect that certain sporting characters were
circulating these reports for tbe purpose of
breaking up tbe match, and had also at
tempted to levy blackmail on the managers,
Messrs. Locke & Cotton. At about 10:30 this
evening Con Moooey and Leslie Blackburn,
who were the parties charged with attempted
blackmailing, accompanied by two others,
entered the ticket office and madeabtutsi
