Get your merchant, your lawyer, your doctor and your minister to write letters. If you can do so, come down yourself and talk to tbem, and get all you can to do the same. Do everything you can, do it now, and do it eamessly. You must have this bill for your own prosperity. You ha ve a terrible enemy, he will resort to every trick and device to defeat lis in the senate as he has in the house. His character is illustrated by his record of fraud. Don't let him defeat us now and ruin our homes andonr lands. We have all suffered personally from this fraud. I have and you have. A dispatch was received by Mr. Reall from Col. Robert M.

New Yqjre, June 1L—The threatened trouble on the Dry Dock, Bast Broadway and Battery road has been averted. At a secret meeting held Wednesday night, ft tie up of the four lines of the company was strongly urged by a few hot-headed men. but the majority of the drivers refused to leave their cars If such on order was issued. The trouble grew out of the discharge at August McDavltt, the starter, -who refused to take out a car during the last strike. At the time of the previous tie up, April 8#, Mc- Davittdid not show up far work, and his day's pay was forfeited. Last Saturday, not supposing that the company could find any men to man the cars, he presented himself for wort, but wherf Superintendent White appeared with a non-union driver, McDavltt refused to act as Star tar. |Ie;waa promptly discharged. McDavitt made a statement of the circumstances at the meeting, and had the good sense to advise the men not to strike on his acoonnt He said that it would be bettor and satisfy him as well to have his wages paid by the organization Until he found work. He will be compelled to seek employment outside of New fork, as no driver or conductor will be taken by any road in this city who has been discharged for complicity,in the strikes. A good deal of feeling was shown at the meeting, an 1 no little disgust expressed with the habit of ordering strikes on the smallest pretexts. The driver* on the bobtail cars who had no connection with Mo- DaviM, who was the starter of the Grand declared positively that they would not tie up. This, together with the lesson learned from theD failure at the Third Avenue strike, Anally resulted in a vote not to take any action upon McDavltt's discharge further than to pay him his f8 a day until he found another Job { BROOKI.T1T, June It.—Frederiok B Harris, chief clcrk in the Brooklyn.postofflce, was arrested early yesterday morning, charged with'bpehing letters %'rDh contained money.

Mukioh, June XL—Prince Leopold, commander-in-chief of the army of Bavaria and unci* of King Ludwig, has issued a proclamation assuming the regency of the »"!*«■ of Bavaria, and summoning the diet to oanvene on J una IS. King Ludwig of Bavaria, who has just been adjudged mentally unsound and unfit longer to rule, shows decided objections to obeying the decree of the ministry which has decided to dethrone him and put his uncle, Prince Luitpold, in his place as regent. Acting upon tJte fflnassumes ttie regency and summons tfbe Bavarian diet to meet on the 15th Inst Count Bolstein, who bad been appointed to wait upon the H"; and obtain his signature to this decree, has had a hard time of it. Upon entering the castle of Hohenschwangau yesterday be was arrested by the king's order. His majesty also gave orders that a guard of gendarmes be placei around the castle. The issue at an order by the regent to release Count Bolstein and to surrender tho castle to the state commission is hourly expected.There is great excitement in Munich, and some regret at the proposed deposition of mug Ludwig, who, in spite of his eccentricities, has always 1 een greatly beloved. Though be has given but little attention to the affairs of late years, it has not been found that the lntsrests.of the country suffered to any appreciable extent In fact, so long a* the price of beer was kept at the normal figure, and strangers were attracted to the capital by the opera and the art treasures left by Ludwig I, Munichians cared little whether the king ruled or not King Ludwig has been on the Bavarian . throne since March 10, 1664, and in August will be 41 years t old. The Munichians laugh at the idea recently started in Paris that the king's madness comss from an of Wagner's music, which his majesty was the first to appreciate in Europe. They rather attribute his mental calamity and his bankruptcy to too great a fondness for the manner* customs of the time of Grande Monarque." His new Gothic caste ol' Schnanstein, built on the Bavarian Alps, cost him only a fraction of the vast sums ho he has spent in attempting to carry out oti the Barren Insein, in Lake Cbiem, his imitations of Versailles and the Trianon. His expenditures for his new chateau on the Chlemsis have been fabulous. A gigantic chandelier cost him 1100,000, a Led more than a million of franci, and a single covering in riilmsi embroidery some hundreds of thousands of franca The committee appointed to devise a plan whereby the munificent gift of Messrs. Childs and Drexel could be put to the best possible use will recommend that the $10,000 remain at interest for the space of five years. On the next birthday of George W. Childs it is proposed that every union printer working in union offices cast of the Mississippi river shall set up 1,000 ems, the proceeds of which shall go into this . fund. Next when the birthday of Anthony Drexel arrives, every union printer west of the Mississippi river shall do the same, and thus in five years a handsome sum Sot far short of $50,000 will have been raised. With this it is in contemplation to erect in Philadelphia a beautiful hall which shall be know as the home of the oraft "i»" Tne story of the crime attributed to Harris is remarkable in several respects. The accused man was appointed as a olerk in the postofflce on April 1, 1885, having passed a civil service examination, and securing second place on the oHgiUe list His salary was (000 per annum, which seemed to satisfy him, as be was always of a contented turn of mind and lived well. He had formerly held a position in the New York postofflce, which fact, with strict attention to business, secured him rapid promotions, ant} he was finally made chief night clerk. In this position he hod five clerks subject to bis orders, and had access to the office at all hours. BEN BUTLER PROPHESIE8. About eight months ago Postmaster Mo- Leer, of Brooklyn, and Postmaster Pearson, of New York, received letters complaining that the senders had lost money while it was in transit through the mail. Inspector Newcomb, of the secret service, was notified to investigate the matter, but as he was well known he made little headway, and for a time the oomplalnts ceased. A continued absence on this Inspector's part, however, brought about a renewal of the complaints, and several business houses reported frequent losses. Realising that extra efforts would have to be made to capture the guilty one, the postal authorities at Washington were communicated with, which resulted in the sending to Brooklyn of Inspector Charles E. Dosser, of Georgia. No Third Party to Figaro In the Next Campaign. Philadelphia, June 1L—Gen. Ben F. Butler has expressed himself at some length on the generaljpolitical outlook. He branded civil service as a sham, and thought the Democrats in congress showed lamentable want of cohesion. He believes the next presidential campaign will be fought, as the last was, on the character of candidates and the scramble for spoils. There will, he thinks, be no organization of consequence, as both sides will bid for the labor vote. Taking what he called a long-range view of things he expressed the idea that the great preponderance of the south in national councils would eventually produce discord again, but just when no man could say. He referred specially to the fact that while the tooth pays but one^fifth of the taxes, she dominates the presidency, the lower house, and soon will secure the senate, all on a system of representation based on a suppressed negro vote. Trouble will come some day, he believes, when the south tries to nse this power to coerce the north into payment of southern losses during the war. The conflict may not bo of the sword, but will certainly bo a business one bred of taxation. Buying Hawaiian Island*.

Butterlne men have sent delegation to Washington with barrels of money to work against the dairy bill. Stir up the friends of the dairy everywhere. Senator Beck's proposition to attach the Morrison tariff bill to the oleomargarine bill created amusement; but it Is a serious proposition, and will give rise to lengthy debate. The senate committee on agrlcultmre will endeavor to restore the tax to ten cents as in the original bit's. The official began operations at onoe, and after a thorough investigation announced that all the missing letters were invariably posted between 10 p. m. and 7 a. m. He accordingly droppad decoy letters containing marked money into the box daring these hours, which were mil received at their dae- the moQoy tnmfii in, new envelopes the handwriting on which was entirely different from that of the letters. This writing was compared with that of all the clerlp on duty during tbetright, and was found -to compare with that of the chief c'erk, Harris. The latter was greatly adiqlred by his superior officers, and for a time they would not think of him in connection with the thefts. The Inspector, however, went quietly to wort; and laid a trap for the suspected man. One of the night clerks, named J. EL Stewart, was taken into his oonfldenoe and instructed to watch the disposition made of two letters that would be mailed at a certain hoar on Wednesday night and Immediately report Accordingly, towards midnight, Assistant Postmaster Smith Inspector Dosser went to the drop box and deposited four letters, one of which was srt dress sd to Wechsler & Abraham and contained  in marked money, and another to the Electric Belt company, in which was inclosed $2.50. The two gentlemen then went to the hotel and awaited results. A WOMAN WITH A HISTORY, George. W. Hum moll, a non-union man, was sppointed in McDavitt's plaoe, He was at one time the* starter of the Third avenue road, but left there to take a similar position oa the Forty -second street and Boulevard line. Thomas McDavitt, a brother of the discharged starter, who was a driver on tha Dry Dock line, resigned his position without giving liny reason. While there were prospects of a strike on the road Superintendent White received a large number of letters from various railroad corporations asking him not to accede to the demands of the men to reinstate Mc- Davitt. Besides these be had applications irom over 100 experienced drivers and conductors who were ready to take oat cars in case of a strike. The authorities believe that the trouble is orsr, although another meeting of the lMQ will be held to-night to settle the matter finally. Unfortunate Mr*.

Very recently a family council of the members of the W ittebbach family was bald at the house of Prinoe Luitpold, the bead of the house, when the absolute necessity of a regency was decided upon. Prince Lultpold's eldest son, Prince Iiudwig, is the heir presumptive to the Bavarian throne, and is married to a niece of the late Countess of Chambord.

Montreal, June 1L—The trial of Louis Vian, ringleader of the St Vincent de Paul penltenti try revolt, was concluded at the' court of queen's bench. He defended himself ably, making several of the witnesses against him contradict themselves. The charges wore shooting with" intent to kill the guard, Chartrand, attempting to escape on April 24, the day of the revolt and escaping on May 8. He pleaded guilty to the last count but not to the others. He was closely watched by four guards heavily armed, and had shackles on his feat Vian said that the penitentiary was divided into two factions, and he also charged the guards with helping him to escape. The jury returned a verdict of guilty on both charges, and the judge sentenced Vian to twenty-five years in the penitentiary. He has still eight years to sM-ve, so that if he undergoes the full term he will be 70 years old when he gets his liberty. It is supposed tlyat he will be taken to the Kingston penitentiary to serve his sentence, where the discipline is more strict than at St V incent de PauL During the afternoon the new committee waited upon them and demanded the books, which were refused. Chairman Graham expressed a willingness to permit the committee . to examine the books in his presence when the account should be finished, but declined to sUrren&r them to any one not authorized by District 75 to receive them. Speaking of the statement which appeared in an afternoon paper yesterday'»p the effect that he had attempted to draw out $6,000 of the late strikers' funds, deposited in the "Bleecker Street Savings bank, but owing to the angry protest of Irving Qourjey, of the new executive board, and Joe Wilson, a member of Local 4,103, the bank teller had refused to bopor the check. Chairman Graham said that he had never been in this bank in his life, and knew nothing of any $6,000 on deposit there. The total amount of money remaining in the hands of the district committee will not, they assert, exceed a few hundred dollars, which will be distributed among the members next Saturday. This mosey the board claims to have just realized from several sources. New Haven. June 1L—The "Yale '86 Glass Book" will be placed on sale on Saturday. The material in the book, though similar to that in former books of class statistiots, is made up in quite a different order.

A recapitulation of the statistics gathered on the tariff question is given below: He was taken before tfnited States Commissioner Allen, to whom he denied his guilt, but refused to answer further questions, saying that he preferred to wait until he secured counsel to defend him He was then held in the saim of $5,000 for ex am in a tion, which was set down for this-morning.

Kandall and the Order of Business. Washington, June 11.—A gentleman who has talked with Mr. ftandall says that one reason which prevents the leaders of theDemocracy coming to an understanding as to an order of business in the house is the determination of the anti-tariff people not to take up the Morrison bill this session. Mr. Randall is a member of the committee of seven appointed to arrange an order of business. The balance of the oommlttee are inclined to make the tariff bill part of the order, but Mr. Randall threatens to bolt the entire order and carry forty-one Democrats with him. Mr. Randall predicts that the order will be: First, the naval bill; second, the sundry civil bill; third, the fortification bill, etc., until the appropriation bills have been disposed of, and then at the end of the second week in July an adjournment When Gourley was asked about the matter he refused to say anything one way or the other, taking refuge in the assertion that none of the new board could talk about affairs of the order except in the presence of his fellow committeemen.
