Lieutenant-General John M. Schofleld hasVen in this city the last work, having eoSM here

fr^m Washington to attend the meeting of theT'oard of Ordnance and Fortification, held on

Tuesday and Wednesday Ha if staying at the

j. Vindsor Hotel, and there yesterday ho received a

reporter of The Tribuno and gave him a graphicand interesting story of what is probably to bebu historic tour. Thin is the visit which OrneraiF-hi field has been making to the Army poststhroughout the West, a tour undertaken at hisgWI suggestion, and, as he says, with the cor¬

dial approval of the President and the Secretaryn ( War. It is the final tour made by GeneralSchofleld before his retirement in Septembernext r-ccause of the ape limit.

of the poati which the Secretary of War himselfVliited in h1* tour. Wherever I found he hadbeen, there I did not go.

'SA feature of the tour of inspection was that Idid about all my travelling by night, making it a

point t- visit one post a day. Fiequently we

left a poet after the inspection, travelled all nightmd arrived at our destination after breakfastthe next morning. The railroad companies

'offered u* every facility ta speed us along. You

set-ined to take great pains to facilitate my tour.

Now that Mayor Strong ha« declared himself an

standing by the Police Hoard In the enforcement of

th* Excise law. the police will be expected to do

their level best every Sunday In preventing the sale

of liquor. The usual orders were given to the policeyesterday, and to-day will be dry In the city.The police mav be able to walk Into some liquor

atoren where nothing la »old, becau.«e the proprietor!want to make I show of their right to keep the

door* open. The fact that saloon doors need not

be closed at any time during the twenty-four hour«,

weekdays or .Sundays, was not generally known

until Magistrat« l>euel announced It In the Jefer-

son Market Court. In the case of .lame» MoGoldrtCk,a saloon-keeper at Seventh-ave. and Thirty-sçcond-st.. who had been arrested by one of Captainrickctt's policemen for keeping his place open after

hours. Magistrat» Deuel *ald there was no law to

close saloon doors.Acting Chief Conlln yesterday said there was

nothing In the Excise law which compelled a saloon¬

keeper to close hi» doors. "A saloon-keeper can

keep his doors wide open, from one end of the year

to the other If he wants to," said Mr. Conlln, "but

he must not sell, give away or expos« malt or

pp'.rltuou» liquors after hours. He can keep his doors

open al! night and all day Sunday If he chooses, and

have as many people In hls> place as he wants to,so long as he doe- not .«»ell, give away or exposebeer and liquor, and the police have no license to

molest him Cnder the old Kxclse law. It was re¬

quired that saloons be closed from 1 to 6 a. ir..

weekdays and from midnight Saturday until 5

o'clock Monday morning."The Acting Chief was ask»J whether he thought

the saloon-keepers would take advantage of this»and keep their places open to-morrow. "I think

not," he replied, "I don't fee what good It would

do them. They cannot «ell anything, and therewould be no object In keeping their places open.

Possibly they might do It to embarrass the police,but I hardly think so."There whs talk that a number of saloon-keepers

would keep their doors wide open to-day and try to

hoodwink the police by doing business In a quietway In s.me secloded spot on their premises.The Acting Chief has given orders, however, that

the police must DC specially vigilant to prevent this.Mi. Conlln has Issue i his usual instructions rela¬tive to the enforcement of the ?"xc!se lnw to-day,and he said that his subordinates WOUl 1 do all In

their power aid use every legitimate means to

make it ,i dry Sunday, so far as the enforcement ofthe Excise law was concerned. Special attentionwill be laid to certain places which were reportedto have carried on business last Sunday, but whereno evidence could hi obtained.Under u new rule adopted liar the Commissioners, a

list will be made of places where the BxclM law Isviolate! and where it Is Impossible for the police to

get In. These places will receive special attention

rieht alón»;The Justices of t,i eclnl Hessions demand that the

District-Attorney should present transferred <v,-i**

cases to the Grand .lury Immediately, so that the

saloon-keepers shall not gain a hoped-for delay bytaking their cases before General Sessions.Acting District-Attorney Landtag Mid yesterday

that he had forwarded ' « Colonel Fellows the com-

munirritlnn addressed to him by the Justices of Spe¬cht Sessions.Mr. Lindsay did not wish to express any opinion

as to the propriety of the Justices Issuing orders to

the District-Attorney. He Bald that the District-Attorney laéued instructions before going to Europethat excise cases should be pushed as expedltlouslyas possible.District-Attorney Fellows is In the country withhis family.

REHEALING IN A HOTEL LICENSE CASE.

THK FICHT TRANSFERRED TO

WAVNi: 0OÜMTT.[BT TEI.EORAPH TO TUB TRIBfNK.]

Canandalgua, N. Y., Aug. 10.-John Raines has

won the support of Ontario County as a candi¬date for Senator, hut by such small majorities in

most of the towns that the Wayne C unty Re¬

publicans need nol think him actually the choiceof Ontario. Frank H. Hamlln. of this village,the opposition candidate, had only one week !nwhich to make his canvass, while Raines hadbeen at work in his own behalf tor a year, andhe had the assistance at every point of ThomasC. Platt. Mr. Platt aided Raines in gettingpatronage at Albany for Republicans possessingInfluence In Ontario County. The canal patron¬age was awarded to Raines by George W.

Aldndge, Superintendent of Public Works.Besides, Raines had the active assistance of

the Démocratie leaders, who naturally believe

that with a weak Republican candidato for Sena¬

tor they will have a good chance of electing a

Democrat In this district. Then* were ir.u Demo¬

crats who voted for Raines at the Republicancaucus here Ir Canan lalgua. That was the

opinion of lending Democrats who were at the

I Ulng-place nnd saw the voter« going up to thebnllot-box with Raines ballots in their hands.

HOW RAINES DECEIVED THF. VOTERS.

Haines, as a final device to influence Republicanvoters, tsstifd a document, ostensibly from the

office of "The Ontario County Times." contain¬ing a pretrnded dispatch from Clyde, the home ofLieutenant-Oovernor Saxton. in which the cor¬

respondent labored to prove that Mr. Saxton was

not against Raines, and had been BtfSOJU ited bythe corresponden«, of The Tribune and Othernewspapers when they represented him as givingreasons why Haines should not he renominated.It need not be said that The Tribune's corre¬

spondent did not invent th>* Interview with Mr.

Saxton, The correspondent met Mr. Saxton InRochester by appointment, and Mr. Button thendictated the Interview to the correspondent.I'pon ending his remarks Mr. Saxton said to the

correspondent; "Please read aloud my state¬

ment." The correspondent did so, and Mr. Sax¬ton said that it was Jun what he wished to sayabout Mr. Raines. The correspondent then sent

the Interview to The Tribune without the sllght-< st altorntl >n. It was a formal statement. Mr.

Boston did not make it In haste, but with care

and deliberation. There can be no question,therefore, that he Is oppose,] t«> the nomination ofRaines for Senator and will do all In his power to

defeat him.Raines at midnight last night sent this mis¬

leading statement about Mr Boston's attitudetoward him Into every town of the county, andIt was distributed at the polls at every caucus as

soon ns the voters assembled. Ralr.es did notInclude in this statement, nowever. the followingdispatch, which he received from Mr. Saxton on

Thursday:Clrde, N. V., Aug. 8.

The Hon. John Raines: I toll i reporter, in sub¬stance, that I hoped Hamlln would carry Ontario,because I ^-ts afraid your nomination would costthe party votes. Said nothing about the county ofWayne CHARLY T. SAXToN.Mr. Boston's opposition to R, .nes was thus ut¬

tered without hesitation to Raines himself. Itwas natural that Raines, in h!s effort to throwdust Into the eyes of the Republican voters ofOntario County and convince tht m that Saxtonwas not opposed to bis nomination, should deemIt imprudent to print this dispatch.

IT Id A MACHINE VICTORY.

Mr. Saxton Is right. It Raines is nominatedfor Senator his nomination will cost the Repub¬lican party votes-In both Wayne and Ontariocounties. The resistance made to his nomina¬tion In his own county, after only one week's ef¬fort by his opponents, discloses the fact thatthen- is danger of his rot receiving the full Re¬publican vote. A citation of the vote of a fewof the towns will disclose how unpopular he ac¬

tually Is In the county and how only by the aidof s political machins was he able to gain s ma¬jority in it. Thus in the town of West Bloom-Seid he had only four majority. In Phelpa thev te tras: Raines, 138; Handln, ill; In Qorbam,R lines, 67. and Hamlln, 47; in Richmond, Ham-Un, 4*. and Haines, IS; In Victor, Haines, 19<).and Hamlln, Iff; in Manchester, Haines, ',?>, andHamlln, 4S. Raines had only tight majority InHrist >\. If a man were overwhelmingly a favor¬ite for Senator he would have carried these townsby a larger majority.

SAXTON NEVER DENIED THKM.UK STANDS BT TH1 ANTI-RAINES INTERVIEWS

IN Tin; TRIBUNS AND "MAIL ARD EXPRESS."Clyde Depot, N. Y.. Aug. 10 (Special)..Few peo¬

ple in Wayne County believed that the canvass

against Raines in Ontario would result In hisoverthrow there. Indeed, they were surprised tofind that, after his Rood of patronage and prom¬ises throughout Ontario, he was still forced toadopt su ti desperate moth >ds as he did to coon-teiSCl the efforts of the Hamlln men.

The "take" .lenlal of Lieutenant-Governor Sax-ton's Interviews Is one of the most contemptibleof the many tricks to which Raines resorted.Word reached her» early in the day that "TheCanandalgua Times" had sent out secretly extraeditions containing a Clyde dispatch, purportingto lie an Interview with Mr. Saxton, denying thestatements in Th<* Tribune and "The Mall andBspress" interviews.The Lieutenant-Governor to-day received sev¬

eral telegrams of Inquiry from Ontario towns,asking him If "The Tlmes's" denial was author¬ized. T all cif these he replied thai he knew ofno "Tluies" publication and that the original In¬terviews were practically correct He was an¬

noyed that the Raines men should attempt SUCBa ruse To The Tribune correspondenl he said.

"I have not seen anj person purporting; to rep¬resent The Canandalgua Tîntes.' The name ofthat paper hi- never bass mentioned to me inconnection with this matter, nor is it true that Ihave denle l the substantl.il accuracy of the in-tervies thai eras printed ,n The Tribune or thatm Toe Mail and Esprees.' "

V n have n« t changed your opinion as toRaines's candidacy?" asked The Tribune corre-spondent."My views are unchanged." replied the Lists«

tenant-Governor."Wn || will Wayne County do nowT" afke.l the

correspondent"I am sol prepared to say what this county

will do m ttts matter under the condition thatnow exist, but I Intend to consult at once withthe leading Republicana of the county and learn

their views as to the proper course for us to

pursue."While Mr. Saxton would not admit it, the fact

Is apparent that he ia drifting rapidly In thedirection of the widespread feeling here thatWayne should place a cmdldate In the fieldagainst Raines. The effort of the Raines ma¬

chine at the Ontario caucuses to-day to misleadthe Republicans as to Saxton's real sentimentshas Intensified the opposition to Raines here.

All the talk about town to-night Is for a WayneCounty candidate, and several names are beingcanvassed. Wayne hae nine votes In the SenateConvention, while Ontario has only eight. ThusWayne can dictate the nomination.

[BY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE.]rSWSrMM 1895: Bv The Trllmn* AitnctnliA*.

London, Aug. 10..Mr. Glads'one and the Cb>nese assassins have diverted public attentionfrom domestic politics to the horrors of barba¬rous fanaticism. Mr. Gladstone's speech on th*Armenian massacrre, while not one »f his great¬est addresses, rose high above the level ofordinary political oratory. Kin voice was dearand resonant, and he *pok* with splendid en¬

ergy. While he disavowed any intention oftreating the Armenian question in a party spirit,he virtually Imposed upon the Salisbury Govern¬ment the obligation to bring the Porte to it*senses. Undoubtedly Lord Salisbury's hand*have been strengthened by this speech, whichhas been received with signs of approval by th*

press of all parties. ReejOft* from C mstanfl-nople betoken an lmreaeed disposition on th*

part of the Sultan to make concessions on minorpoints, but coercion was a natural corollary toMr. Gladstone'«- speech, and Lord Salisbury hasnot yet shr.wn any Indication tnat he is preparedto use force. The Porle, as .Mr. Gladstone said,will listen to the word "must," but the word"ought" will have no weight with It. LordSalisbury did net hesitate last June to embarrassL<>rd Klmberley by making a speech in whichcoercive measures were deprecated; his oppo¬nents have not repeated his tactics, but hav«arrayed behind him In the Foreign Office th*moral forces of public opinion. The Sultan isnot yet convinced that the. Powers are in ear¬

nest. A threat to seize some of the Turkishislands and hand them over to Greece wouldopen his eyes.

The massacre of missionaries at Foo-Chow 1*generally attributed to the feeling of fanaticismand revenge excited by the overthrow of Chinain the war with Japan. The first outrage was

rapidly followed by additional atrocities in theprovince of Canton, and indications are notwanting that the anti-foreign agitation laspreading southward, and that the central gov¬ernment is utterly demoralized, and unabl*either to punish the assassins or to disciplinethe mandar'tis who have been conniving at thesebarbarous crimes. Ixird Salisbury has undoubt¬edly acted with promptness and energy in de¬manding reparation for the atrocities and in in¬sisting that the Chinese Government must b*held responsible for the lives of foreigners dwell¬ing In the Empire, but It is doubtful whetherthe Viceroy can muster forces adequate for re¬

st.ring the imperial authority. The mission¬aries have been singled out for attack not be¬cause they were teaching a new religion, butsimply because they were foreigners, and theChinese people in their hour of humiliation anddesperation want the country for themselves.The State Department at Washington is dealingwith the Chinese Government through its own

representatives and is not communicating withth* British Foreign Office through Mr. Bayard,The American Embassy here is too shorthandedto undertake any serious diplomatic work. Mr.Roosevelt, the Secretary of Legation, has beenordered by his physician to leave London, as

his health has broker, down. Another officialIs absent on leave and the staff in general is

crippled.The English view is that foreign missionaries

In China are protected by decrees of the Im¬perial Government and by treaty rights, andthat thoy cannot be recalled to the treaty portsfrom the Interior. Consequently, if the ChineseGovernment finds itself unable to carry out itstreaty obligations and suppress the outbreaksof the fanatical Vegetarian or Buddhist rebels,the European Powers must lnnd marines and an

irmy, if necessary. In Sot'theastern China. Theseloncluslons are logical, but precious time is al¬ways wasted in diplomacy. While the negoti¬ations are proceeding and the Chinese Govern¬ment Is making vague promises and concealingIts weakness, the massacre of missionaries andforeigners may be resumed.

The new Government Is evidently regardedwith high favor at Court. Lord Salisbury, Mr.Goschen, Mr. Ralfour, the Duke of Devonshireand Mr-. Chamberlain have been entertainedit Osborne by the Queen, who apparently makesno concealment of her satisfaction over the r>-

«jiilts of tbe election. A Cabinet meeting was

leid yesterday in anticipation of the meetingDf Parllamer.t next week and the preparation)f the Queen's speech. The debate on the speechwill be dull and listless, and the legislativesession will be short and uneventful.The Irish members will have an Important

meeting In the committee-room ^n Tuesday, butMr. Justin McCarthy's re-election to the leader¬ship is certain. His> arraignment of Mr. Healyhas been a Strong act. which has increasedpublic respect for him as a leader determinedto suppress revolt in the ranks of his foil«-wer*.Mr. Healy hns not been effective In hi« reply,and appar mtly will have to submit or bedriven out of the camp. Irish divisions are lessserious now than when the Liberals were inpower. The followers of Mr. Healy, Mr Mc¬

Carthy and Mr. Redmond are bound to findthemselves In the same Opposition lobbies whilethe present Parliament endures. Instead of di¬

viding as they did In the 1 a:. t Parliament, theywill be forced to act together, or. in any event,vote together. Mr. H«ily Is not personallyantagonistic to Mr. McCarthy, but he hates Mr.Dillon. Mr. O Prlen and Mr. Blake. It Is now

more probable that he will make terms withMr. McCarthy than that he will rebel againstthe authority of his leader and Join the Red-mondltes, who have disliked him as one of th*bitterest of Parnell's opponents.
