WHAT THE PRESIDENT HA8 DECIDED TO DO IN THE MATTER. Pim.iOBi.PHiA, July ft.—This it "payday" at the national encampment, consequently the attendance of spectators k limited. Manager Underwood feels aggrieved at the poor encouragement given the enterprise by Philadelphia, but hopes that the patronage during the next two days will be sufficient to pay all expenses. In this connection it may be stated that the prises to be given la the competitive drills aggregate $20,000, while other calls upon the treasury will bring the total expenses np to 980,009. Up to yesterday morning not one cent has been taken in at the gates to counterbalance this large amount. It is the impression among the soldiers that the first prise lies, between the Houston Light Guards and Montgomery Grays. The Butch Zouaves are sure of capturing the $1,000 prise for the zouave fancy drill, for they have no oppos tion. At the close of the competition there will be a regimental dress parade of all the unattached companies, after which there will be a regimental parade. The exercises will close with a display drill by the Busch Zouaves, GRE88 IN THE WEST.

Loudon, Jtuy a.—The most picturesque canvass for a parliamentary election that has been made la England far a long time is now in progress in the tiny borough of Woodstock over the question whether Lord Randolph Churohill, the new secretary for india. shall be elected or shall give way to Mr. Corrie Grant, the young lawyer whom the Liberals have sent down from London tS oppose him. It is a ladies' battle on both ■ides. The campaign was begun by I*dy Randolph Churchill, neaMias Jennie Jerome, last Saturday evening by driving a tandem through the main streets of the picturesque old town with the skill and grace to be expected of the daughter of the founder of Jerome park. The liberals quiokly resolved to meet their fair adversary on her own ground, and they secured the services of Mi&see King and Adamft, two lovely young graduates from Oxford. TLe famous university city is only a few miles from Woodstock, and Oxonian influence is ptrong in the latter plxico. The delightful canvassing of tho girl graduates soon captured the populace, and the Tories began to funk. Lady Randolph lost none of her courage and energy, but she saw something must be done to offaot tho influence of the pretty little chilis from Oxford, and she summoned ro-enforcements. 8he obtained two charming lieutenants—Lady Evelyn and Lady Edith Curion, the young daughters of the Earl of Howe—and sent them forth to daszle the electors. The latter are getting more and sweetev blandishments than they ever dreamed of before, and are in a dilemma as to which of their fair suitors to favor. Mr. Grant is on the ground, and is working night tinl day in his own interest. The Liberals claim that they are already sura «f the support of a sweeping majority qt the 1,084 voters on the registry list. The Tories are nervous, and are imploring Lord Randolph to show himself to the elector!. He has thus far proved obdurate, and bis inertness Strang* bens the report that he has bargained with his wife that she is to do all the work and have a£ the glory of his campaign. The result will not make the slightest difference to the new secretary, except as a matter of sentiment, for it is understood that one of the sitting members from a strongly Conservative constituency in the city of London is all ready to resign in Lord Randolph's favor, if need be, and will be rewarded with .that pretii of sir which is dear to the heart of every city magnate. The vital statistics of London dtow a fearful rate of mortality among insured infants. The books of the insurance companies show that the death rata among the infants who are insured Is much greater than the general death rate for the same ages as published in the government reports. The latter Include, of course, both the insured and the  sured infants. If the two classes could be separated in the official reports so that they could be compared it is believed that it would be shown that the mortality among the insured is fifty per cent, greater than that among the uninsured. These facts strengthen suspicion into a positive oonvictton that many infants are deliberately murdered for the sake of the insurance on their lives. The insuranoe oompatfles which accept risks on infanta' lives will insure none bnt healthy children, and If they werb not killed the mortality among them would naturally be leas than among the general average of children. The fact that the opposite is true points usnerringly to child murder, which la so easy of accomplishment and so dlfficultof detection. Some insuranoe oompaniea seem to acoept this fact complacently, and only seek to secure their own profits under the additional risks by increasing their premiums. This operates as a hardship upon honsst parsnip, who insure their childrens' lives Atom worthy motives of prurience, and affords encouragement to heartless or scoundrelly parents and guardians. The note of alarm has been sounded by the actuaries of the more respectable insuranoe companies and echoed by many physicians. It has now been taken up by several of the medical and legal newspapers, which an imploring parliament to.devise some remedy for the growing and horrible eviL WjkSHraoroir, July &—It is understood that Mr. Keiley, recently appointed to Austria, and whose appointment has oo casioned considerable comment, will not bt recalled.

If the purpose be oarrled oat bloodshed is Inevitable. The mayor dispatched! an emissary to the striking oanductors and drivers, who are still in session at Seamen's half, with the request that they consent to the ■election by his honor of an arbitration committee. The request was scoffed at Secretary A. M Sawyer, of the executive committee, says that had the committee made a commencement by inviting Mr. Blaine an end would never have been reached. No G.

Hall, who acted in an individual capacity. Gen. Chamberlain attended without an iuvitation and marched with his post. Mr. Sawyer added that when Congressman Boutelle left Portland he expressed himself as perfectly satisfied with the manner in which the reunion had been oond noted. Mr. Sawyer is at a loss to account for his sudden change of base. and the envoy was instructed by a resolution to return to the mayor and say that the strfkers would not submit to any arbitra' meat or interference.

It was wholly a Grand Army affair, and it would be contrary to the usual course of the Grand Army to invite prominent persons not officials. Gen.

There had been 190officers and 100 deteotives and deputies, which is just about one-half as large as the whole effective pqlioe force, yet disturbances could not be prevented. He advised Mr. Lake to stop running cars for five or six days, and poo-pooed the talk of forfeiture of charter because of luoperation. The courkp Alone could decree such forfeiture, and they wo did Aever do so because the provision applied to "ordinary circumstances." The fact of the matter is the polios force is In sympathy with tbe strikers, inasmuch as at laist one-third of the officers were formerly drivers or conductors. Later Mayor Harrison said: "The crowd waa vary good-natured. It oould hardly be called a mob. Kven the stone that hit me between the shoulders was not at all vicious, as it didn't hart much.' Asked as to the arrangements made for police protection his honor continued: "I waa called upon by a delegation of the strikers and I told them that the peaoe wojsld and should be preserve 1 if I had to call out the posse comitates and tbe militia I also informed them that I would see the oompany's property protected at all hasards and at any cost I said that with the merits of the controversy I had nothing to do, Superintendent Lake Insisting that he had a right to discharge whenever ha saw fit while the men had their grievance. In conclusion I advised them td avoid any violence, as in the event of a shot being fired by an officer and an Innocent looker-on killed in any of the scrimmages the blood would be directly upon tbeir beads."
