AFTER THIRTY YEARS. News bv Telegraph from West of the Rockies. A Defalcation that was Covered tip for that Length of Tlnie, Philadelphia, June 30. The hasty summoning of members of the board of trade, and directors of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Co., at an early hour this with and receiving the congratulations of afternoon, created a stir in financial cir cles, and a report quickly flew about that a heavy defalcation had been discovered in the accounts of one of the officers. The company is one of the oldest, and was in early times one of the wealthiest corporations in the Middle States, hold ins charters from the legislatures of Penn sylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. The first rumor that reached the street was that Treasurer James A. L. Wilson had defaulted in Ids accounts to the extent of $178,000. The facts, as afterward ascer tained more accurately, were that an over-issue of bonds to the amount of 615,2JQ was made under the thirty-year mortgage loan of the company of July, 1856. for $2,800,000. The loan matures to-morrow, and preparations having been made for its extension, the return of bonds for certification at the office to-day , would have revealed the over-issue. Treasurer Wilson did not appear at the office to-day, but on his desk was a note containing a confession of his guilty knowledge of the fraudulent transaction, He left the city last sight, it is alleged in company with Henry V. Leslie, former treasurer, under whose administration the over-issue was made. Wilson, the accused defaulter, is about 65 years of ace. and for over thirty years has been connected with the said company, having been its treasurer since 1883, when he succeeded Leslie. Uberals losing their Head. New Yokk, June 30. T. P. O'Con nor's cable special to the Star from Bir mingham : "What I saw and learned at Liverpool and at this political center to day convinces me that the campaign of June is the greatest tight of the century between wealthy and popular organisa tions. In many districts the local liberal causes appear to be completely twralyzed and bewildered by the power of the lords, soulrcB. and wealthy tools of the aristoc racy. Thoy appear to have lost their heads, and have become utterly unable to lead the masses on to victory. The impression created by all this wavering, intimidation and confusion is that the re sult of the election is not as certain as the managers of the party were led to be lieve previously.

Treas urer Jordan accompanied the secretary to New York, where Mr. Manning and family will remain for two or three days, before going to the secretary's home at Albany. Manning seems to have almost entirely recovered from his recent serious illness, and last night appeared to tie in excellent spirits. Seirure of American Vessels. Halifax, N. S., July 3.

San Fbancisco, July 1. Matters at the railroad front on the California & Oregon wear a promising aspect, and there is little doubt that rail connection between this city and Portland will be an estab lished fact before the close of another year. According to latest reports, the advance guard oi tne ngnt oi way men have completed their labors in northern Shasta county, and have passed into Sis kiyou, me pot-bole men are near Bai ley's, and several gangs of graders are close behind him. The culvert builders are at Big Castle creek, only a few miles from the northern boundary of Shasta county. The bridge at the tenth crossing of the Sacramento is completed, and the track has been laid to the eleventh. The main force of bridge builders is now at work at the twelfth and thirteenth cross ings. A depot is about to be erected at Hazel creek.

The convicted bovcotters on Theiss, proprietor of a con cert garden, were arraigned iu court to day for sentence. Judge Barret made some strong remarks to them on the crime of which they were convicted. He said this was a violation of the peace of the country that welcomed foreign-born citizens to its shores : that offered free dom and the privilege of right. They . had violated public rights and opinions, ' and their offence was not short of black- Jtnail. The distribution of circulars be fore Diaces of business was a conspiracy and punishable as such. Their conduct, if unpunished, would lead to savagery, Frank Hirtu, Carl Smion, aud Anton Palm, found them guilty of conspiring to burn the court house and destroy the re!ords. and of inciting the mob to riot, For twenty hours the ballot stood ten for conviction and two tor acuuital.

The unionists maintain the lead, owing to the number returned without opposi tion. Returns from boroughs so far con tested show a balance of parties ; Man chester returns three Gladstonians and three unionists ; Liverpool four unionists and two Gladstonians; Bristol three unionists and one Gladstone ; Leeds three for Gladstone to two opposed. The only Scotch election was in, Perth, which elected a Gladstonite by a small major ity. Three Ixmdon divisions hast fad- dington, North Paddington, and Strand have given immense unionist majorities, electing respectively Lord Randolph Churchill, L. L. Cohan, and W. H Smith.

Gladstone has been re-eiectea tor .Mid lothian. PBESS COMMKNT. London, July 3. Tho Times, com menting on the election, says: "Though no conclusive numerical advantage has been gained by either side, it is evident that, even with the transfer of the Irish vote, Mr. Gladstone barely holds his own in the boroughs." The Daily JNews says: "The govern ment has not done badly, considenng the disadvantages under which it been hghtmg." The Standard says: "The results are highly encouraging to the unionists. Ei ther the Irish element in England is much less important than the Parnellites pretended, or detections among iiDerais are more serious than Gladstone's friends would like to admit." The Daily Telegraph says : "It is too early to presage the result, but, so far. there is little or no encouragement tor Gladstone s wild project. ' THE RESULT IN ENGLAND. only five majority. Mr. Saunders (Glad stone) is defeated in Kast Hull by thirty seven majority. Among eminent Glad stouians defeated are Solicitor-general Davey, Advocate-general Mellor, Mr. Hibbert, secretary to the admiralty, and Prof. Thorold Rogers. The London labor candidates, Creamer and Howeil, retain their seats by small majorities. Sir John Lubbock's re-election is assured by a poll of forty ahead of Mr. Harrison. Sir Thomas Brassey has been nominated Gladstonian candidate for East Andrews district. BIOTINU AT DUBLIN. ' Dublin, July 5, midnight. A crowd of roughs to-night attacked the conservative club house with stones. The members replied with bottles and firearms, killinir one rioter and injuring twenty.

KOSES AND POETS. BKECHEK'S KECKl'TION. "Grand Koval Ueceptlou to Our Own Old Man," of America. Ntw Yokk, July 5. A London cable gram says ueeeners yisix nas surrea up a tremendous lurore in protestant cir cles. Appeals for tickets to the City Temple to-day were unexampled in num ber and importunity , it is estimated that the number of applicants who were de nied admission for want of room, was enough to have fillod ten temples. Hun dreds of persons who considered them selves fortunate in being able to gain ad mission underwent physical suffering bv being crushed in the aisles, from which they will not recover for several days. Those who found room in that part of the church in which were seated Mrs. Beech er and Mrs. Parker, wife of the pastor of City Temple, indulged in comment upon the contrast between the attire of the two ladies. Mrs. Parker was conspicuously arrayed in a fashionable costume of satin while Mrs. Beecher was very plainly at tired in sober black. Miss Ellen Terry eat immediately beneath the pulpit, in a garden chair, and followed intently the discourse of the American divine, joining heartily in occasional outbursts of mirth which Beecher's wit provoked The text of the sermon was "The greatest of these is love." Beecher was never in better condition. He was full of lire and energy, and possibly inspired by .i i it.. ?. .1..' ti. - e T..1.. tne iact mat it was uie luunuui iuiy. A great basket of flowers, among which the American colors wore intertwined, had been placed in front of the pulpit, and there was a goodly sprinkling of the ship lay at anchor, but was recaptur ed and returned. It is rumored that Wilson was induced to sign articles fraud ulently, and his rescue to-day was pre concerted. The affair causes some excite ment among sailor boarding house men. Explosion iu the House of Commons. liONDON, June isu. An explosion oc curred yesterday in the house of com mons. Even-thing was done by the offi cials in charge of the building to conceal the fact. It leaked out, however, but in false forms, and the most exaggerated and sentational rumors about Irish plots and dynamite outrages got into circula tion. The truth was made known to-day, ihe explosion resulted lrom pent up sewer gas. A Town Destroyed. Uisuor station, July 1. Advices re ceived here state that the town of Inde pendence, county seat of Inyo county, burned on last Sunday afternoon. There is no communication with the place, and consequently no particulars can be ob tained. The loss by fire at Independence is es timated at $200,000 ; insurance, $45,000. Wells, Fargo & Co.'s office and the court house were burned. The records were saved. Cabson City, Nev., July 1.

Tribune's Wash ington special says : On pretty good au thority it is reported that the president feels much concerned on account of the effect produced throughout the country by the official exposure ot facts tespecting the pan electric investigation. Within the last two or three days he has con versed freely with several influential democrats in congress on the subject of the scandal and the effect of the expos ures upon the administration and party, in a manner to make it evident he feels considerable solicitude. He has gone so far, it is asserted, that in case he discov ers that the public verdict is adverse to the continuance in omce of Garland, Goodo, Atkins, and Johnston, he will ask them to resign. In private conversation many democratic congressmen comment with severity on congressman Boyle's ef forts to "vindicate ' Garland and associ ates, and declare that he has committed a great blunder by placing a resolution on the calendar in which it is expressly declared that neither Garland, Harris, Lamar, Goode, Atkins, nor Johnston did any thing, officially or otherwise, which was dishonest, dishonorable or censur able. . ! jJ, , ; , HOME KILE DEFEATED. When we wrife of roses it is hard not to quote what the poets have said in their praise. How many of our readers have seen the little verse, not generally known, which Tennyson has lately given to a friend to publish? "The night with sudden odor reeled, The southern stars a music pealed ; Warm beams across the meadow stole; For love flew over grove and field , Said, 'Open, rosebud, open; yield Thy fragrant soul.' But when we think of roses and their poets, the first names that occur to mem ory are probaoly those oi Herrick and Ronsard. The lesson of the roses, of fleet things that are sweet, and sweet things that are fleet, those two fine pagans are never weary of repeating. "And The House not much Changed, and Glad stone Holds his Own. New Yokk, July 4. T. P. O'Connor cables from London to the Star : Proba bilities seem to indicate that the new parliament will be pretty much in its general composition as the one that de feated Gladstone's home rule bill, except that the unionist element may be a little stronger than in the last house. Eng land requires another educational course on the home rule question before she quite comes up to the standard of Mr. Gladstone. Gladstone's fkiknos pleased. London, July 4. Gladstonians are elated over the decisive character of their victories in Dundee. They are confident that they will maintain their hold on Scotland. (Hailstone's friends report that the En glish agricultural vote is safe for the min isterial party. They say that laborers' meetings show unabated faitli in Mr. Gladstone and concurrence in the belief that the granting of home rule to Ireland would relieve the English market of Irish labor. Jesse Collings will Btump the midland counties and try to persuade the laborers to the contrary. The Gladstone prospects in the metro polis are dark, as liberal unionists are giving a warm support to tne conservatives. About the Panama Canal. London, July 4.

Saw Mill Ilurned at Lebanon. Lebanon, July 1. The sawmill of R. R. Humphrey, about nine miles east of here, with all the machinery, was de stroyed by fire last night about 11 o clock. The mill and machinery was valued at $0,000. About 50,000 feet of lumber was burned. There was an insu rance of $3,000 on mill and machinery The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Funds for Parnell. San Fbancibco, July 1. A mass meet ing was held this evening at Metropol itan temple, under the auspices of the Young Ireland parlimentary club, for the purpose of raising funds to assist Parnell and the home rule cause in the coming parliamentary elections. About 3000 people were present. Mayor Bartlett presided. Stephen M. White, Creed llaymond, Judge J. F. Sullivan and James K. Kelly, made remarks which were greeted with much enthusiasm.

To many modern poets the rose seems to breathe the same melan choly message, and to be but an emblem of the fading of things beautiful. Tenny son, indeed, sees the rose more as the flower of love than of death, and perhaps Mr. Matthew Arnold best combines the two thoughts, death and love, in his beautiful song "Strew on her roses, roses." Mr. Austin Dobson makes Horace say in his famous ode, Roses and the reet, Davus, I detest, " and we close this article abruptly, lest the reader should be tempted to quote the famous poet and friend of Augustus. Providence Journal. THE GREAT CONTEST. A Gloomy Outlook for Gladstone and for Home Rule. London, July 5. Up to 10 o'clock last night the totals of members elected were 150 conservatives, 30 unionists, 59 Glad stonians, and 29 Parnellites. The con servatives have gained 17, the unionists 1, and the Gladstonians 9.

I candidate won in Central Finsbury by Tlie "Appeal to the Country" Brings Bark Adverse Results. New Yobk, July 6. T. P. O'Connor's special to the Star, from London : The elections to day follow the broad lines of previous days since the polling com menced. The tories retain nearly all the seats they held before the contest, and ' the liberals lose a few. The enormous abstention of liberals reported remains the prominent feature of the fight. This feature of the struggle is more prominent because of the fact that the tories, with not many exceptions, are polling about the same number of votes as in Novem ber. Keturns from Scotland prove that the northern kingdom is no longer to be -trusted to 6tand solid for Gladstone. The hopeful phase of the situation is that the narrow majorities by which the tories are winning seats will make a strong tory ministry out of the question. The result of the present complicated affairs is that the opening of the new parliament will find the Parnellites absolute masters of all possible ministries. shelved for the present. -Special to the Times from London : The followers of Gladstone do not yet propose to throw up the sponge, but they do not disguise the fact that the battle is going against them. Whether Gladstone may finally save a small majority or not, tho indications are now decidedly that he will not. There is very little doubt that . home rule is shelved for the present. Knowing ones predict, however, that Gladstone will so change the home rule bill that neither the Charnberlainites nor the Hartingtonites will dare to vote . against him. This is undoubtedly Glad stone's trump card. Whether he will play it or not is a question. Leading home rulers are not confident, but they still hope for success. A Bill by Mitchell for John Roach.
