Special to tbe Courier-Journal. Washington, Aug. A gentleman whom tbe New York Mail atiU Ewprena Touches for as most reliable, tells a reporter of that paper the following: "On a certain date not a month back, or three weeks Lack, and even within less time I don't care to be more specific: a conference was held, the results of which are now beginning to "That conference affected Kelly's action, then" only has, but when tbe results of it bear fruit and the significance of it becomes known, it will be recognized as the most famous conference of our time, and one with far-reaching consequence, that will surely" effect and may eventually change the fabric of our Government. Tbe conference was held at tbe Fifth-avenue Hotel, in Nw York City, and the persons present were Cbas. A.

Dsns, lion j. F. Butler, John Kelly and Jno. F. Henry.

Some of the memoranda of that meeting I have bad in my possession. One of it was that Kelly promised to lend tbe aid of the Star to Butler's candidacy, and tbis after Dana bad promised tbat the Sun would shine for Butler." "Was Kelly's promise unequivocal "So far as be was concerned it was, but be stated he did not own the Star; that tbe stockholder! were members of Tauimany Hall: that he was not by any meant tbe largest stockholder, but that he believed the plans of the conference would meet tho views of certain Tammany men. and that the support of tbe was a surety, if not a certainty. It was then that Butler decided to run; it was then that Kelly decided to cast bis lot with him, unless overruled by bis political lieutenants, and it was then that Dana decided to cut tbe weak strings tbat bound hint to tbe support of Cleveland, and to take tbe Sun to the side of Butler. John F.

Henry pledged the anti-monopoly organization and a pile of money." "Will the support of the 6'iu be unqual- Wedi" "I can answer best by saying it "will be stragetic. It will endeavor by its virility to show all the defects in tbe Democratic cam- Qa and tbe essential weakness of Cleve-. It will castigate the Democrat manager for every political misstep made and will attempt to show that the masses of the party of Jefferson have lost confluence weir leader, but that is not all with tbe spacious logic and some times sophistry, for which the is noted. it will throw a verbal cloud over the absolute chance of success of either Blaine or Cleveland, prick the public pulse by ingenious, if vague assertions of Butler's strength in Michigan, Iowa and other ttepublican States, bring forward the strong point of Blaine's candidacy and try to show that the sc uggle is in doubt tciween Blaine and iiutier, with Clove hind third in the race. It will tell its readers tbat if butler were elected the country would be safe, but in so many words, precise and plain, it znav not ask the voters to cast their ballots for Butler.

t. Meager particulars have been received of another -slaughter of horse thieves in the Muscle Shell region, 150 miles northeast of here, last week, by cowboys, while in pursuit of stolen horses. A log house was discovered iu the timber 'on the mountain side. It was secretly watched a day or two, during which time several small parties of men came and went, some by day and others by night, having iii their possession horses evidently stolen. It becoming evident tbat it was a horse-thie es rendezvous, the cowboys con gregated, and last Monday night crawled up to the house an attacked the fourteeu horse-thieves about tbe premises at the time.

Nine were killed and live escaped. The cabin was bet on fire and burned. No par ticulars have yet been received of the fight of Granville Stuart's cowboys with a band of thieves at the mouth of Muscle Shell, though tbe fight must have occurred several days ago. The locality is over 200 miles from Helena, with no telegraphic commuiii- catiou. i There never was a period in the his tory of this or any other Territory when so much horse-thieving was going on.

The citizens are determined to effectively stop it. Fnlly fifty thieves have beeu hanged or shot in the past month. A HOl'tS fUt ItlUltt: L. Estimating tbe Olucial Ketnrns ia oa a Basis of 1 nose Heporiee Ilia Friends Claim Hli Election, Special to the Courier-Journal. Winchester, Aug.

On each side of the upper part of the oil tube is placed a rose similar to those placed upon sprinkling cans so that when the life buoy is bung upon the vessel's stern no oil can escape; but the moment it is placed horizontally the liquid begins to escape and covers the sea with a tbiu liliu of oil, spreading out rapidly on every side uutil a large circle is formed, within which the person who has fallen overboard may rest until rescued by the boats.

Philadelphia llulktia; Astonishing as are the energies which in a small fraction of a second can be iinr ressed on a projectile of nearly a ton weight, they sink into the most absolute insignificance when our projectiles are compared witn other projectiles, velocities and energies existing in nature. If, looking at the earth iiv an artillery point of viow, and following the principles Helmholtz has laid down, the earth were considered as an enormous projectile, and if it were supposed further the whole energy stored up iu gunpowder could be utilized, there would yet be required a charge lOO times greater than its own weighs, or greater than its volume, to communicate to the earth her orbital motion. i BUFFALO SKELETONS.

The replv came that Capt. I Tidd was living at Woburn and that tbe return of the sword would be appreciated. Mr. Witcher returned it, and last week received from Capt.

This scheme would involve the idea of a perpetual body guard, and all tbat sort of thing. The other schemes are too many to euuraerate. Tbe designs and projects are absolutely innumerable. The models of statues of Peace and War, Independence, Progress, Enligbttnent, and all that sort of thing, are numerous.

We have seen all sorts of groups, working in tbe 'First in peace, first in war and first in tbe hearts of his countryruen' business; we are tired of drawings and models and descriptions, and if any encouragement was given to sculptors and designers, I don't doubt that we would get several hundred new ones. The sculptor who proposes the four medalions is probably at work perfecting his models." 'Have any of the plaus been very favorably regarded "I do not believe that the subject has ever been otticially considered. Nobody has any idea now as to what will finally be done, but the plain, severe style of the monument will rather discountenance any attempt at fancy work around its base. Even the fifteen-foot doorway in tbe base looks kike a rat bole. Any ordinary statuary would resemble playthings aud be a constant source of ridicule.

Tbe idea of making a monument mausoleum is not likely to be very favorably received. It is I -lain. stately and impressive just as it is, and architecturally it is successful and imposing. I don't thiuk it probable tbat tbi effect will be allowed to lie marred; certainly nothing will be done or thought of before "the ceremonies ou Washington's Birthday. There is no time, and I think no disposition, to do anything now in that direction." CALLED AWAY BY DEATH.

HUMANITY'S DEADLY FOE.

Despite tbe Progress of Medical Science and Perfect Arrangements for Treating Patients tho Clolsra is BtiU Ua- conquerable. MASON'S REP0UT FROM MARSEILLES. Washington, Aug. 9. Frank II.

Masou, United States Consul at Marseilles, in a uis- pacth to tho State Depaitmeut iu relation to the cholera at that place aud Toulon, says: "It appears that, notwithstanding all tbe progress In medical science aud the very perfect arrangements for collecting and treating tho stricken victims of tbe scourge, more than two-thirds of those attacked fcave died. Even during tho first fortnight of the epidemic, when all the sanitary conditions were most favorable. Tbe almost immediate transmission of the disease from Toulon to Marseilles, and the enormous death rate of 70 per cent, in the earliest stage of the epidemic, seem to prove that sanitary science and medical skill have made but little substantial progress in dealing with the Asiatic cholera. A second feature of the present epidemic is the vigor aud deadliness of its attack as compared with tbat of the last great cholera summer, 18(15. The rapidity and virulence of tbis development are attributed in some measure, to tbe intense damp and stifling heat wbicn has prevailed during most ot tbe days since the 30th of June.

"There are physicians of judgment and experience wbo maintain that dessication is the only effective destroyer of choleraic microbe on a large scale, and that dry, bot weather, while it may be unfavorable for those already attacked, is most effective in staying the spread of the contagion. "Another noticeable feature of the present visitation has been tbe simultaneous and sudden appearance of the malady in all parts of tbe city of Marseilles. Fugitives from here have died at Grenoble and other towns in Southern France, but tbe epidemic baa not thus far been killed there, nor have any persons been attacked, except such as brought tbe contagion from tbis city or Tou- Ion. In view of thai enormous emigration which bas occurred since the outbreak three weeks ago, estimated by good authority at 100,000 persons from Marseilles and from Toulon, and tbe distribution ot this vast contingent throughout France, Italy, Switzerland and Netherlands, it is noteworthy and encouraging that no authenticated case of cholera bas occurred among this army of fugitives at any point north of Grenoble. Although a great number of Italian working people left the two stricken cities for Northern Italy during the early days of the epidemic, tbe disease has not apparently been carried with them, or if it has, it has not yet developed.

Nothing in all tbe dispute concerning the origin and cure of the disease had added any effectiveness to tbe means hitherto known for treating choleraic patients and the proportion of deaths to the cases appears to increase rather than diminish. A momentary gleam of hope was diffused by tbe announcement tbat patients bad been rescued from the collapse stage of tbe malady, at toe bos-r pital in Toulon by the inhalation of oxygen, but this encouragement bas been clouded by the discovery tbat tbe effect of this powerful stimulant was but temporary and tbe patients thus treated finally died in the same ratio as those treated by other methods." IiEAUlT AT A. BAZAAR, How Fashion Imbibes American MIxea Drinks In Louavo. The London World says that the bazaar at the Duke of Wellington's riding scbool. Knightsbridge, in aid of the restoration and enlargement of Kew church, was opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Tbey were accompauied by the Duke of Cambridge, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Lady Spencer, Maria Marchioness of Alles- bury, etc. The Frincess looked very well in her plain black costume, which became her admirably aud might have set an example of simplicity to many who surrounded ber.

Pretty china plaques were tbe principal novelty at Ladv Caroline Oarnier's stall, and next door Mrs. Column exhibited many fancy articles. At tho Duchess of Cambridge's stall one side was devoted to white majolica and tbe rest to various examples of basket work and euibroiderv, much of the latter being the handiwork of the Grand Duchess of Mecklouburg-Strelits.
