sion the flags of all the consular ottices in this
city were floated throughout the day.

The German Friday Evening.
The german given in the spacious parlors of
the Beach hotel,' Friday evening, was an un-
usually pleasant airair. It was in compliment
to Miss Mitchell, of St. Louis, now visiting
Miss Blunt, of this city. The germau was
led by Mr. G. B. Settle. Among those present
were Misses Mitchell, Caden, Lyon, Forbes,
Blunt, Burke, MeCuilough, Simonton, Den-
son, Thomas, Bachrach, Nichols, Cade and
Bingham, and Messrs. Buckley, Compton,
Crawford, Dickinson, Eichiitz, Harcourt,
Johnson, Perry, Phillips, Settle, Willis,
Walker, Lyon, Wood, Marshall and Dr.
Hand.
Maritime IVotea.
The Mallory line steamship Alamo, Captain
Bolger, reached her dock about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning from New York, and at
once began discharging her cargo. The ar-
rival of tho Alamo at that hour created some
surprise along the docks, as she was not due
until during last night or this morning.
The Morgan liner New York, Captain Quick,
sailed for New York.
The steamship City of Norfolk arrived from
Indianola and proceeded to Morgon City.
The schoouer Sarah D. Fell, from New
York, was towed in and berthed at Williams
wharf.
The bark Inverallen, for Cape Hayti, mid
the schooner L. A. Burnham, for Apalachicola
in ballast, cleared j esterday, and will probably
sail to-day.
The brig Juliana, Captain Russell, from
Liverpool with 4400 sacks of salt, which vessel
arrived Thursday, was yesterday placed in
quarantine by Dr. Blunt fortwenty days, unless
sooner released by the governor. The cause
of her detention is that ou April 37 she put
into St. Lucia for water and remained there
t \ el ve hours. The vestel has a clean bill of
health and has no sickness on board.
The tug Louise arrived from Clinton with
the barge Katinka, loaded with 210 bales cot-
ton for the Mallory line, and ten cars of old
iron for the schooner C. H. Morse, and the
barges Waldo and Lark, with merchandise
for the steamship New York. She left on her
up trip with two barges of merchandise from
the steamship New York and two barges cf
steel nails for the Houston and Texas Central
railway.
The tug Estelle, after undergoing thorough
repairs, arrived from Lynchburg yesterday
morning.
The cargo of bonded goods from the bark
Roma will be tiansferred to the Morgau line
to day for shipment to Mexico.

(■alveston Rowing Club.
'1 he following complimentary notice of our
home rowing club is taken from the New York
Turf, Field and Farm of the 'Jth instant:
Galveston Rowing Club*—It Is scarcely probable
that the little crew of " big men," so styled bv the
Chicago Times last year, which represented Texas
at the M. V. A. R. A., will be able to enter this sea-
son, from the fact that tliey have not once rowed
together since last July. This is not the only reason,
however, for their stroke has been confined at
home for the past six weeks with a serious illness.
This is to be regretted, as something was expected
from them the coming season, from the fact of
their finishing second last July at Pullman in a re-
gatta with twelve entries, although they never saw
a four-oared shell till five weeks before the race.
They are the best balanced crew in America, and
in all probability the lightest in the world—their
aggregate weight being 494 pounds. The sick
member of the crew is able to be about, and it is
hoped that it is not yet too late to muster together
for the season's contests. Mr. Fearon is making
them a new four oar shell and a single for William
Crotty, who pulls No. 2 in the four.
The tick member of the little crew is Mr.
John Crotty, and his many friends hero are
pleased to see thai he has shaken off his illness,
aud is fast getting into good form again. The
new foir-oar shell for the club is expected
here in the next two weeks. When she arrives
the little big crew will immediately go into
training for the regatta that takes place at
Moline, 111., on the loth of July next. Al-
though their time for practice is quite limited
this season, yet it is not nearly as much so as
last season, as no one of the crew ever sat in a
four oar shell until five weeks before they
pulled in the regatta at Pullman, and then,
with twelve entries, the}'came iu second. If
they do not win the honors this season, they
will te close upon the winners for a certainty.
Our people have reason to be proud of their
home rowing club.
.— ♦
Htray .\otes.
St. Patricks church has received another
handsome stained-glass window. It is the
work and gift of Mr. W. L. Katisseau, of this
city, and represents Christ appearing to Mary.
The glass has been placed over the door on
avenue K, where it attracts considerable at-
tention.
Mr. E. M. Gonzales has taken a lease upon
the Lafitte grove at the end of the Texas-
Mexican row', and will open it to day under
the name of the West end. He will give a free
barbecue and fish chowder to-day. Trains will
run upon the usual schedule time as given else-
where in The News this morning.
Cards of invitation are out for the marriage
of Mr. Alex. Ortleib, of this city, to Miss Me-
linda Benedikt, of Dallas, on Tuesday even-
ing, June 3, at 7:30 o'clock. A reception will
follow the marriage ceremony at the Windsor
hotel.
The stuccoing of the Ball school building has
commenced.
County Court adjourned last night. The
i:ext session will open on the second Monday
in June.

A Hanfiiioine Compliment.
A number of the friends of Mr. Oscar G.
Murray have recently stolen a irarch upon
him. They, without his nolens volens, com-
missioned Mr. P. H. Rose to furnish a crayon
portrait of the genial railroader, and the
artist was told to fill the commission regard-
less of expense. Mr. Rose has executed his
order, and the ladies' parlor of the Union club
is now graced with an elegantly finished and
strikingly life-like picture of the handsome
vice-president of the club. Mr. Murray, of
course, feels grateful for this handsome and
gracefully expressed compliment, but those
who know the man as well as do the newspaper
fraternity, will willinglygoin in saying that it
is a just tribute honestly and worthily be-
stowed.

(jospel Services.
The interest in the gospel services at St.
John church increases each week. To-night
the pastor, Rev. W. J. Young, will discuss the
report of the recent grand jury respecting the
non-enforcement of the Sunday law and laws
against gambling and kindred vices. When
the grand jury is after public officials it is pos-
sibly well enough for the preacher to stir up
his church and congregation respecting the re-
sponibilities of christian citizenship.

Leaving for the Summer.
Quite a number of those who are preparing
to leave Texas during the hot summer months
have concluded to travel over the Queen and
Crescent line, running from New Orleans to
Cincinnati, which is acknowledged as one of
the best in the country. It is quite a favorite
route with those who visit the Virginia and
Northern resorts.
[To The Galveston News ]
In a special to Tub Nkws from Washington
city, in your issue of the 22d of this
month, your correspondent again brings my
name to the front. This time It is in connec-
tion with Maior Plumly's supposed mission to
the National Capital. These repeated al-
lusions to me by your Washington correspond-
ent, whereby my name gets the ben :flt of in-
sertions in your valuable paper, would be
pleasing to tho vanity of an egotistical man,
but as 1 am a plain, unassuming citizen, I
neither court the distinction nor am I to any
extent grateful for the unsolicited honor. I
desire to state that I have nothing whatever
to do with Major Plumly's presence iu Wash-
ington city, and especially not as far as the
sale of additional ground here for the custom-
house site is concerned.
I can only repeat what I have said hereto-
fore through the columns of your paper,
namely, if the government wants the lots it
can hffre thein by paying a fair price therefor.
My figures were fixed and understood by the
department long before Major Plumly went to
Washington, and I neither instigated his go-
ing nor contributed to the expense of it. If
Major Plumly is advocating the retaining of
the lf250,000 in the present harbor appropria-
tion bill, I presume ke does so from a convic-
tion that it would not be wise to strike out
that clause until the fate of the Kads measure
be finally determined. At any rate he is act-
ing entirely independent of me and of my
authority. I think your correspondent can
get authentic information in reference to his
mission from the major in person. He is a sa-
gacious old man and I know of no one who
can better speak for himself; so please leave
me out of the complications in future, as I
l ave no part thereiu. A. P. Lufkin.

Chairman Bnrnuni Announces a Suh-coinuilltee.
Chicago, May !34.—When the Democratic
national committee met in February, a resolu-
tion was adopted authorizing Chairman
Barnum to appoint a sub committee of five to
takej charge of tho preparations for the
National Democratic convention. He has just
announced the committee as follows: William
C. Goudv, Illinois; W. L. Scott, Pennsylvania;
M. M. Ilam, Iowa; W. F. Vilas, Wisconsin,
and Austin if. Brown, Indiana. The commit-
tee will hold a session in this city within the

treneru! Butler's Views 011 the TurilT.
Detroit, May 24.—The Evening Journal of
this city publishes this afternoon the follow-
ing letter from General Butler, giving ex-
plicit utterance of his views on the tariff ques-
tion :
lioxtou, May 17, 1884—To C. M. Hubbard,
Managing Editor of the Detroit Evening
Journal—Drar Sir: There is so evident good
faith in your communication that it breaks a
custom of mine in answering the specifical
question as to my political views on specific
subjects!, and perhaps upon the subject of the
tariff, I can give theui iu word, for I never
have concealed them. We can not have free
trade in this country, however desirable theo-
retically it would be. Our country is
so large, and our interests so vast and
so much is to be done by
the general government that for a series of
years we must raise hundreds of millions of
dollars by taxation of some sort, and the only
constitutional taxation that I know of is that
tux in proportion to the number of inhabit-
ants of the States. The genius of our people
will not permit of direct taxation, and there-
fore the indirect must be resorted to. From
the beginning of the government to this time
the taxation by duties on imported articles
has always been a resort of our government,
except in times of war. For a limited period
other methods of taxation havo beeD tried,
because the duties upon imports were insuffi-
cient. I favor the raising of a sufficient
amount of revenue for the economical
administration of the government, aud
no more, from duties upon imports, and
in laying down those duties to tax all
articles of luxury up to the collection point,
and to make free all raw materials, not raised
or produced in this country, which enter into
its "arts of manufacture, and the actual neces-
earies of life, and as much as possible to
cheapen them in every way, and within those
limits to so judiciously place our duties as to
best encourage and aid American labor and
American industries. If I could, I would also
devote the tax on whisky and tobacco to a
fund to pay tho remaining debts of the war
onlv, to wit, to pensions and to the ear a of
soldiers disabled by the war. I do not know
that I need mako any further statement on
this topic. I am very truly yours,
Bknj. F. Butler.
Louisiana Republicans.
New Orleans, J'ay 24.—The Republican
state central cotnn itt.'e to-day adopted the
following:
Resolved, that this committee place the seal
of condemnation upon the method employed
in some parishes in this State to defeat tho
will of the people and candidates duly and
legally elected, notably in the Ninth and
Twentieth Judicial districts. That a com-
mittee of five be appointed to collate evidence
aud make a report of the same and give it
such publicity as in their judgment it may
seem proper.
This resolution was also adopted:
That it is the sense of the state central com-
mittee that the Republican members of the
legislature use their best efforts to secure at
some time an investigation of the frauds com-
mitted in behalf of the Democratic party in
the late general election.

T« Italy.
On thy fair bosom, in mv early youth,
I laid mv head to rest in sweet content.
But littlo dreaming that the fonts I drained
Gave to my growing mind of nourishment
A priceless store.
What from the bosom I unconscious drew
Is ever present to my memory now;
For thee i truly yearn with filial love
And long to kiss thy dear maternal brow,
Sweet land, once more.
It can not be in life! the date is fixed
When all my earthly travel shall he o'er;
But, if iu after life, the soul be free,
Then mini' shall wing its joyful way once more
To thy loved shore.

It is a curious illustration of the extraor-

off of no less than £58,000 in the last half-year,
owing to the contrast betweeu the activity of

NOW
IS THE TIME
TO CURE
SKIN HUMORS.
II
It is at this season, when the blood and perspira"
tion are loaded with imparities, that Disfteuriug
Humors, Humiliating Eruptions, Itching Tortures,
Salt Rheum, or Eczema, Psorias, Tetter, Ring-
worm, Baby Humors, Scrofula, Scrofulous Sores,
Abscesses and Discharging Wounds, and every
species of Itching, Scaly and Pimply Diseases of the
Skin and Scalp are most speedily and economically
cured by tne C'uticura kemedies.
IT IS A FACT!
Hundreds of letters in our possession (copies of
which may be had by return mail) are our authori-
ty for the assertion that Skin, Scalp, and Blood
Humors, whether Scrofulous, Inherited or Con-
tagious, may NOW be permanently cured by Cuti-
cura Resolvent, the new Blood Purifier, Diuretic
and Aperient, internally, and Cuticura and Cuti-
cura Soap, the great Skin Cures and Beautiliers,
externally, in one-half the time and at one-half the
expense of any other season.
GREATEST ON EARTH!
Cuticitra Remedies are the greatest medicines
on earth. Had the worst case of Salt Rheum in
this country. My mother had it twenty years, and
in fact died from it. I believe Cuticura would have
saved her life. My arms, breast and head were
covered for three years, which nothing relieved or
cured until I used the Cuticura Resolvent inter-
nally and Cuticura and Cuticura Soap externally

GREAT BLOOD MEDICINES.
The half has not been told as to the great cura-
tive powers of the Cuticura Remedies. I have
paid hundreds of dollars for medicines to cure dis-
eases of the blood and skin, and never found any-
thing yet to equal the Cuticura Remedies.

CURE IN EVERY CASE.
Your Cuticura Remedies outsell all other medi-
cines I keep for skin diseases. My customers and
patients say that they have effected a cure in every
instance, where other remedies have failed.

PILES! PILES! PILES!
A Sure Cure Found nt I.nxt -\o One Vccd Suffer.
A sure cure for blind, bleeding, itching and
ulcerated piles has been discovered by Dr.
William (an Indian remedy), called Di. Wil-
liam's Indian Ointment. A single box has
cured the worst chronic cases of tweiitv-'ive
years standing. No one need suffer live
minutes alter applying this wonderful sooth
ing medicine. Lotions and instruments do
more harm than good. William's Ointment
absorbs the tumors, allays the intense itching,
(particularly at night after getting warm in
lied), acts as a poultice, gives instant and pain-
less relief, and is prepared only for piles, itch-
ing of the private parts, and for nothing else.
Read what the Hon. J. M. Coffinberry, of
Cleveland, says about Dr. William's Indian
Pile Ointment: " I have used scores of pile
cures, and it affords me pleasure to say that I
have never found anything which gave such
immediate and permanent relief as Dr. Wil-
liamV Indian Ointment." For sale by all drug'
gists aad mailed on receipt of price, $1.
