He skillfully eluded the swarm of reporter! sent ddwn from London to interview him upon the Wall street flurry, by telegraphing from Queenstown to the White star agent at Liverpool a request that no reporters be allowed on board the tender which was to take him from the Baltic, at her anchorage in tha Mersey, to the city. The news]Dapcr men were consequently induced to take another tender which was sent to the Baltic to disembark some less distinguished passengers, and in the meantime Mr. Vanderbilt Wirf" li«ided and driven rapidly to the Northwestern railway station and took the 4 p. m. fast mail train for London. On his arrival square station, he wasjsucoe fully interviewed on the way from h s compartments to a private conveyance, by a cable news reporter. Mr. Vanderbilt said he had, at Queenstown, received by English mail  telegraph full information about the panic of the past week in Wall stroot. He was cool and apparently unconcerned about the New York excitement In answer to the reporter's question about the object of his visit Mr. Vanderbilt said: nucL M 9 I for p »elvC* ■ tub* four I S I Pre* form, I DTer" ■ that I S vrtL MI ■ ind Nbw York, May 2L—The condition of affairs in Wall street wag, if anything, ■lightly worse, and many brokers who were outspoken a few dan ago In the belief that the worst had phased art more or 1m§ disappointed end despondent at the turn the stock market took yWltM'iiay. While the failure of the firm of W. B. Scott & Co. appear**! to hatre no perceptible effect, It undoubtedly acted as a damper on the hspes of some, and, coupled with the published statements in regard to Mr. Baldwin's resignation from the Louisville and Nashville road, and the reasons therefor, caused a greater feeling of insecurity than has been noticed siujje the commencement of the panic. Brokers and speculators are freely discussing the action of President Baldwin in speculating with the oompany's funds, and ask one another when such doings by the officials of banks and railroads will cease. Although the reports stated that the company's finances had been infrio wise impaired by this speculation, and that Mr. Baldwin had made good that portion of the company's funds he had used in ' 'bulling" the stock, it did not in the least tend to strengthen the price, and but for the good fupport afforded it there is no doubt but that a heavy decline in the stock would have taken place. As it was, the stock was only barely steady, and closed at a slight decline for the day. At one time the drop in it was as much as 2 per out. In fact, about the only thing V""g to cause a flurry was one or two failures. • (/ 7wD«dJ The case of Robert Dill, another Allegheny county mau, convicted of felonious entry, was refused. fc-1 N Sabato Alexander, an Italian now under sentence of death at Easton, was represented by counsel, but a pardon refused. »i «C»/ 4 specially interested in good and stable Tcrnnvsnt.

The house is a twostory frame building. There is a parlor and bar on the ground floor, and the upper floors are occupied by women of ill repute. The proprietress, a Mrs. Hutchinson, said that the gjrl came to the house to live two weeks ago, and gave the name of Laura Watso®. • George Simons, the bartender, said that Adam and Laura came into the saloon and drank soda water again, but appeared to be at loggerheads. After drinking they went into the hallway. He heard some sharp words from the man, and also heard a protest from the girl, and heard her say, "Oh, Adolph, don't I" Then the shot was fired, and the bartender ran out for the police. Arthur Bennett, of Allegheny, and Samuel Harris, of Jefferson county, were also refused.The ease of George Martin, of Philadelphia, convicted of burglary, was (Jbstponed until the June session.

We suggesting to the convention what is the jf the Republicans of New York and of many Democrats as Ood haa made rational jti intelligent. We are not hare to inveigh against other candidates or threaten that if rar choice is not nominated we wont play. President Arthur has proved, under trying ■ircumstances, one of the most able presiding (fleers the nation lias over had. That he as met so little criticism is a marvel, lid is a testimony given to few residents. The oil of vitriol was poured a Washington. The bitterness of the genleman whose nam* should be inveigh and tot MacVeigh, is at sweet oil compared with he invective they raged against Washing. on and Jefferson,. Jackson and Lincoln, whom every one now kneels to reverence. LiOt 114 have compassion upon the memory of Johnson.

Hayes took the president's chair, when Mr. Hayss was efected, the oountry had been scourged with the flrei of war and needed a poultice, and it had it. (Great laughter, which, after eeaMng, was renewed before Mr. Beecher resumed.) I sea you don't appreciate the benefit of poultice. They allay inflammation and give sleep, and Mr. Hayes did us a good work; and he did it by doing nothing. We slept; he slept He is not dead; he sleepeth yet. Well, continued the speaker, Mr. Arthur has fared batter than any of the others thus far. There has been less acrimony. There has beqn agrea- Sble surprise. He conies from good stock— Scotch-Irish, crossed with Yankee. He was eduoated in our common schools, and studied law, oftentimes a vary honorable business. It was due to his singular capacity for organisation that New York state went into the field, in numbers and equipment seoond only to Massachusetts. In the custom house, which I wish I might-live to see abolished, he showed the same power of organisation and wise administration, and has shown it on a larger pUn in the pMMMsntial chair. Up to th* . time of his vioe-preddenoy he had been an ardent New York loyal to party and loyal to his friendships. He has in but one instance, so far as I have observed, gone beyond the line of prndende; but I honor a man whose imprudence springs from the loyalty and integrity of his heart. He has ' risen from being a stain politician to a nationality, and haa administered his trust with a wider horizon. When necessary to disappoint his bosom friend r»th#r than involve the country in old trouble* and bitterness te did so. Where istha bitterness now between the Republican factions! All healed. Why should we violate our custom and set him aside far an untried candidate! Mr. beecher went on to say that he did not *h«i»w it necessary to leave the party In order to be an Independent. He favored free trade. Mr. Arthur favored high tariff. But the president merely executes the laws. When tho party gets enlightened and gives him free trade laws ha will execute them, too. As to joining the Democratic party, it had no leaders that could control it and no policy that it dared to stand up to when election Hum exams. Mr. Beecher praised President Arthur aa the originator, when collector, of civil service reform, and said that while the country's prosperity was too wall founded to be dependent on any one man, yet it was the part of wisdom to retain one who had aided in atabUthing rttxmd commercial policy. Ex-Secretary gristow, on being introduced, waa received with cheers. In referring to the MacVeagh letters he pointedly remarked that if the poKtal service were so poor that hittins had to be published, instead of posted,1 ha hoped the government wooM be able to reform it without the necessity of employing a great crowd of lawyers, eminent or otherwise, at large expense and with very trifling results. Be thought Mr. MacVeagh forgot that this was to be a meeting of business men, aocustomed to think for themselves, who were to utter their opinions as to what was the wise oourse to pursue, and not to revert to ancient history. He regretted Mr. MacVcogli's references to the circumstances under which Mr. Arthur became president He could only believe that some secret smart betrayed his friend into expressions which his fine sense of honor would be first to condemn. The Mahone alliance was a legacy of the previous administration. of which Mr. MacVeagh was a member. If Mr. Arthur were so unworthy a man, why did Mr. Mac- Veagh support him for vice president, and become adviser to the administration in which Mr. Arthur was prominent After this brief reply to Mr. MacVeagh's letter, Mr. Bristow passed to an appreciative review of OstL Arthur's administration, which fab believed justified Us renomination. J. Buggery was granted a rehearing, and the case of Jejse Carter, of Allegheny, convicted of murder in the first degree, was held under advisement. DON CAMERON HOME AQAIN.

It is stated semi-offlcially that the average earnings of the company are abundant to pay regular dividends, but the constant purchase of intersecting and subsidiary lines, the construction of new lines and the maintenance of those in operation, together with the erection of two new telegraph buildings in New York, the laying of pneumatic tubes, etc., have required so large an outlay, that it is thought wise to leave as much of the surplus earnings intact as possible to meet expensew of this kind; and with that in view mjtaage of one per cent in the dividend* has been contemplated. J he mere conservative element in: the directory has always dmaqrted a larger dividend than six per oeni; W theory being that the wrplus hi. excess of sis per cent should Jm devoted increasing the valua of th*'property. The neat increase in the ooinpany's commercial txntness during the recent flurry in Wall street—an increase that is largely maintained, 'now that the excitement has subsided—together with the increased press service inoidsat to the financial upheaval and the coming oonventions, will undoubtedly increase the earnings to an extent enabling the company to declare its usual dividend without inconvenience; and in view of this fact the reduction oC dividends may poasibly be deferred until the close of the quarter ending with October L Harrisburg, Pa., Hay 21.— Attho annnal session of the grand lodge of Odd Fellows at the Opera house there was a full attendance of representatives.

He was convicted of axsault on a little girl 8 years old, named Hattie Carr. There has been a wide difference of opinion as to the facts in the cose being rather peculiar, and strong efforts have been made for his pardon. "Brother Frank" was president of St Joseph's college in this oity. The governor gives as his reason for the commutation that he is so impressed with doubt as to the convict's guilt of the crime, for which he was sentenced, that be has determined to interpose in his behalf and commute his sentence to one year and five months from April 8, 1888.

London, May 21.—Lord Randolph Churchill has again kicked over the Tory traces, and last evening he exploded a bombshell in the house of comn»ens by openly advocating that principle of the franchise bill which increases the suffrage in Ireland. The debate upon the measure was exceedingly animated, uud the house was crowded with members and spectator*. The unexpected stand taken by the young leader of the Conservatives astonished the house and horrified his political brethren. Lord Randolph began by frankly avowing that he had changed hit opinions as to the justice and expediency of the measure introduoed by the government so far as it related to the extension of the franchise in Irelnnd. He deolared that he was not afraid to trust the political instinct of the Irish rural laborers, and h* begged his Conservative brethren to emancipate themselves from antiquated traditions which failed to recognise the progress of political growth and the significance of cwnnt events.

POLITICAL POINTERS. fcgggs 1T- These sentiments were loudly cheered by the Parnellites, and for a few minutes there waa a scene of great excitement in the house. Sir Stafford North cote, the Conaarvative member, for Devonshire, was intensely disgusted, and, with about twenty of his followers, left the house before the division took place. Parke Goodwin was next introduced.
