The Teries Asxicus to Have the Irish Leader Win—Effect ef Such a Result on the General Elections—lLerd Salis- barry’s Sarcastic Allasiens im His Speech te the Healyites—Tone ef the Irish Press. a f Lobo, Dec. 4—At no time during the present crisis in the political affairs of Ireland has a more intensely concentrated interest been manifested by her friends than is this moraing pereeptibie whenever im eagerly in- quisitive and anxiously speculative groups they meet in the vicinity of the con- ference roem in the House of Commons. The crowds of to-day differ materi- jally, both la the tone of conversation as- sumed and in appearance presented from those which for the past week have blocked the passage ways te the headquarters of the baited Irishmen. There was in the many dis- cussions goiung on less of flippant persifiage Capt. O Shea. and more of sedate and series interchange of thoughtful views on possible ways of escape from the unfortunate circum. stances which now surround the Irish Parliamentary party. A greater number of graybeards edged their way inte the midst of the controversial groups, and in more than one instance young and middle-aged bystand- ers pointed out white-haired men who, although they may not have been within good cannon shot of Westminster for a decade, had nevertheless been out lu the 68.“ Notwith- standing the temporary feeling of relief which followed the suggestion by Mr..Clancy at yes- terday’s session of the conference that a compromise was possible, one does not have much difficulty im gathering from the peculiarly self.reliant, if troubled, Irish- men who now pace to and fro along the cer- ridors adjacent to the library and room of conference that they are pessimists on the general situation. Whatever may happen to the upper and nether fractional milistones, Ireland, ae men view the position, is destined to be MORE OR LESS CRUSHED. They fear that the aggressively independ- ent action taken by Mr. Parnell, added to the cynical asperity of his reference to Mr. Giad- stone, will make it impossible for the Nation- allsts te open negotiations with the great English Liberal chieftain—much less secure any piedges from him—so long as Mr. Parnell is recognized by the Irish Nati@halists asa leader, or even as a _ Col- league. On the contrary they ap- prebend that tke intimation will be conveyed to the conferesce that negotiations for a continuance of the English alliance can only be opened with the deposition of the present Irish leader as a condition precedent. Even the most courageous and hopeful of Mr. Parnell’s followers find it difficult te preserve their equanimity in the faceof the anti-Par- nellite deciaration of the Roman Catholic hierarchy of Ireland. They fGlly appreciate the probable effect of such action upon a pe- ple so closely wedded to the idea of and purity of the home as are the Catholics of Ireland. TO-DAY’6S MERBTING.

This would, it is bellewed, create a strong Gemand for his restoration as the leader of the party. Parnell, it is well understood, will never make concessions that would involve bis permunent retirement from the pasty lea@@rship. His plan, it now ars, is to come to the front again after sdstone is sidetracked and Clancy's resolu- tion is for this purpose. Clancy’s Compromise Rejected.

CHICAGO, III., Dec. 4.—The American tour Of the Irish envoys has deen abandoned. John Dillon and Wm, O’Brien are going to Paris, where they will remain for some time.

Dillon, O’Brien, Har- Fington and O'Connor go to New York to- Right. Gill and O’Suilivan will go on later. This action was taken because of the crisis in the Irish party regarding the leadership, which divides sympathizers and the envoys and prevents effective work. Awpother T. F. O'Conner. nta, II., Dee. 4.—The Jnter-Ocean pub- lishes an explanation that an article which &ppeared in its columns a few days ago signed T. P. O’Connor was not from the Mem- ‘ber of Parilament accompanying Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien, but from a local person- age who happens to bave the same name. The matter in the Inter- Ocean, if taken as comin from Mr. O'Connor, M. P., would place tha geutioman in the awkward attitude of at tempting argument agalnst the ideas in the Manifesto of which he was one of the signers.

TWO FINGERS TO AN AMERICAN, The Graduated Scale of the Hand-Shake in France, Although the manners of French ‘‘smart men do not savor quite as much of the stable as those of England, they are, if possible, greater prigs, writes H. C. Taylor in the Chi- cago News. It is their custom to shake hands according to rank. An ordinary mortal is given two Angers; a baron, viscount or count is given three; a marquis, four, and a duke or prince the entire hand. A few months ago a Frenchman, whose mother is an American, met an American whom he had known from childhood. In Shaking hands the Frenchman put outtwo Angers. 6 Amérivan having lived much in Frasce, would not permit thie upstart to patronize him, so be turned te the Frenchman and told him that the ever tried to sbake hands with two fingere he would pull his nose, For six moaths the Frenchman always presented bis entire hand. Ashort time since, however, the American Was leaving Havre for home. He metthe Frenchman on the ship, who was there for — purpose of selng his mother off for Amer ca. Just as the gangway was being lowered the two parted,and the Frenchman presented bis two fingers and rushed off theship. He had been waiting his opportunity, and it was thus that he paid the American for the threatened jasuit.

In the development of real estate interests eon the eastside of the river it is proposed to Sonnet the new town of Madison, where the r works are Delng established, Venice, Brooklyn and Kast St. Loulse with an electric railway. Afranchis« has been secured for this enterprise by Alfred Carr, J. B. Sikkiug and Henry Robinson, the latter being an old resident of Venice. Mr. Sikking was postmaster of East st. Louis for many eare and Mr. Carr, a St. Louis real estate 44 has given a greatdealof attention to purchase und sale of property on the other ide. The assured growth of the new town of adison, the growing importance of Venice uiting from the completion of the Mer- ante’ Bridge, an increasing demand for acre piate around Brooklyn and the doom in Kast St. Louls are each and all of them influences suggesting the necessity and profit to be made tof the operation of such a street railway. 7 eoniy obstacieo met with in obtaining «a right fo Mrz for it was met with from the pee of Brooklyn. and that was overcome night.

They All Claim They Are Not the Guilty Persess, buat Oireumstances Warrant Their Detention — Their Statements— Miss Tovell's Cendition This Afternocer. Four of the prisoners arrested on suspicion of having been implicated in the horrible crime of running over Miss Augusta Tovell witha horse and wagon, andof dragging her nearly a mile over the streets are still held at the Fifth District Police Station. The men are Thomas C. Hammond, a painter, living at 4822 San Fran- cisco avenue; Wm. Vogt, a gardener, living on Cozzens near Newstead avenue; Harry N. Larson, who keeps a cigar store at 2821 Franklin avenue and a miliinery store with Mrs. Kate Larson at 230244 Franklin avenue, and Charles Ruby, who lives next door to Thomas Hammond, the first-mamed prisoner. Hammond ana Vogt were arrested late last night at the former's residence, and Hammond was positively identified by Edward James, the colored man who witnessed the accident to Miss Tove Il. Two or three other gentlemen who saw the lady run over and dragged down Delmar ave: nue saw Hammond and Vogt this forenoon, but were unable to identify.either of them. Hammond is a tall man and rather slim for his height and has a care less, don t-care man- ner about him, which is not in his favor in the investigation now being made by the police. To a PoOsT-DISPATCH reporter he talked freely this morning of his life before he came to St. Louis and also of his life here excepting as regards his whereabouts last Tues- Gay afternoon andevening. While he didn’t hesitate much in responding to direct questions, he gave information only when questioned, and it was rather vague and not calculated to establish an alibi. HAMMOND’S STATEMENT. Put into a connected story his statement Wasasfollows: lama member of the firm of Yoerger & Hammond, house, sien and carriage painters, and I live at 4216 Natural Bridge road. Mr. Yoerger is my brother-in-law, I having married bis sirter, and he lives at 4216 Natural Bridge road, only a short distance from me. I was born at Frea- erick, Md., and have lived in st. Louis six years. Before coming to St. Louis I was out West, in Colorado and New Mexico. and Old Mexico.I was mining part of the time, prospecting, and in the cattle vusiness part of the time. Yes, I was a cow boy, bull and what not. 1 lived in Pueblo, Trinidad, Las Vegas, Chilina, Santa Fe and Denver. In Denver I worked for an artesian well-boring concern. I came here six years ago and married Miss Yoerxer five pons ago. We have two children and own the ouse we live in, having paid for it a year ago last September. I have lived tnere only about a year, but have lived in the neighbor- hood ever since I have been in &t. Louls. HIS WHEREABOUTS OR TUEBSDAY. Last Tuesday afternoon I was out looking for contracts. I visited half a dozen or more new houses going up to sce the buliders and get the job of painting the house, dut 1 couldn’t fndanyofthem. At most ot the houses the men were not working. Yes, I found them working at one place, on Kennerly avenue, whero r. Sanderson is putting up arow of houses. Isawone of the*carpenters there and asked him where Mr. Sanderson was and he said he didn’t but that he was not there. This was about a quarter to 8 o’sclock. I don't know the carpenter’s name and I can’t men- tion r lee Il saw that afternoon. got ack home about 4:30. Yes, it would take three hours and a halt to walk over that district. Iwent as far westas Taylor avenue, as far south as Easton avenue, as far east as Sarah street, but no further north than the street I live on, San Francisco, After eating supper at home 1 started out again. t was about 5:45, and I went to Mr. Lemon’s house on Newstead avenue to see bim on private business. I staid there half an hour and then returned straight home. I was walking all the time and haven't used my father-in-law’s spring wagon for ten days or two weeks. Talk about that horse run- ning away from a crowd; why, he couldn't catch a snail going down bill. Another thing, Inever had my overcoat on that afternoon. Yesterday was the first day Ihave worn it. The young man (Voxt) sitting there who was arrested with me was at my house last night, because he played a mouth-harp and ve often get him to come out and play for us, particularly when we know, have company. Last night we had my wife's two brothers there, Leonard Baltsin a Scotch boy that works for Billy Pobiman and two or three other people. Hammond says that he is 6 feet and 8 laches In regard to Hammond’s visit te Mr. Lem- ons’ residence the latter gays thatit must have been consider ably later than the time named by Hammond. He left the Equitabie Bulld- ing at 5:35, and first went south to Pine and then north to Franklin avenue and stopped a few minutes two or three times on the way. Ines he took a Franklin avenue car and rode home. It generally takes him from 45 to 50 minutes to go home, and it must have been about 6:30 if not later when he got home Tuesday evening. He found Ham- mond standing at.the gate and paid him 50 cents that he owed him. When he enterec the house he asked his wife how long Hammond had been standing there and sho replied that he bad just come. He asked this question because he had neticed that Ham- mond had no overcoat on and it was very cold. Hammond's arrest was due in the first place the statement of a citizen he had seen him driv- ing fast on Easton avenue Tuesday evening, and bad raced with bim, but to-day that oitizen says that it wae Charles Ruby, Hammond’s neighbor, whom he raced with, and not Hammond bimeelf. Ruby was then arrested, but there seems to be little evidence against him. Another citizen was found to-day who claims to have seen Hammond driving in a spring wagon down town Tuesday afternoon and who said he spoke to bim. Mr. Lareon’s arrest was due to the fact that be had a runaway Tuesday afternoon about 8 o’cloc«. His horse and buggy ran into the rig of a man named Nessel, living fear Rinkelvilie, and broke a trace, or something, and he heu drove the man home in his own buggy. Upon returning to town the cou ling pin of his wagon fell out, ana his horse ran away. The shafts were broken, and the horse bas not been since.

BIRDIE HANSACK’S ATTACK ON LILLIE BALCH IN THE ABLINGTON SCHOOL. An Investigatieon ef Ugly Steries Leads te a Quarrel and a Band-to-Haed Fight ia the Schoel-Reom—Miss. Anderson Sepa- rated the Combatantse—A Bloody Nose Followed by a Warraat. There was asensational scene in the Ariing- ton School, Bird and Easton avenues, yester- dav afternoon. Asa result of which a war- rant was sworm opt this morning charging Miss Birdie Hansack with assauit and battery. Recently there had been a number of slan- derous school girl stories in circulation at the Arlington School concerning two 15 year old pupils named Nettie Hansack and Lillie Balch. Recently the principal, Miss Ander- son, took a hand in the affair and made 4 THOROUGH INVESTIGATION, a report of the result of which was not at all satisfactory to Miss Nettie’s elder sister. Ac- cordingly Miss Birdie Hansack called at the Arlington School about 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon and asked perm ission of the princi- pal, Miss Andeison, to see Lillie Balch. Miss Anderson supposed that the visitor wished to make an amicable settlement of the difficulties and took Miss Hansack into the room in which Miss Balch was peated. Then she called the puplis forward. No sooner had Miss Baich approached within striking distance, than Miss Hansack made a rush and thrust her clenched fist into the astonished giri’s face. Blood gushed from THE INJURED NOSE " and spurted over the irate visitor’s dress. Not heeding this in the leastshe renewed the onslaught, and a lively bair-pulling maten ensued. In a moment Miss Apder- son had succeeded in separating the combatants and soon quieted the frightened pupils, whose fears almost provoked a perfect stampedes Miss Balch, her face covered with blood, led away to bathe her swollen nose, while Miss Hansack was escorted to the door and politely Out firmly invited to take her leave. A WARRANT. This morning Miss Balch, accompanied by a relative, appeared at the Four Courts and ewore out a warrant charging ber assailant with assault and Dat- tery. A 3 sheriff secured service and arrested iss Hapesack, who very promptly furnished the requisite bond.

A Number of Dwellings Destroyed by Fire To-Day—Notes. A disastrous fire broke out this morning about 5:35 o’clock in the residence of Thomas Fagan, No. 808 South Pennsylvania ave- nue. An alarm was turned in by Police Officer Mehi and Engine and Chemical Companies, No. 2, re- sponded to extinguish the blaze. When the department arrived the fire bad gained con- siderabie headway. The fire boys, numbering only twelve men, worked liked demons, but their efforts to save the building were fruit- lees. The building, a two-story frame, was soon consumed. The residence ad- olniag on the north side, numberea 06, and occupied by Martin Durrey,. which is also of frame, broke out and the attention of the firemen was called to extin- guish the blaze in this house. Asthey were working hard to control the flames the two-story frame building, No. 8410 South Pennsylvania avenue,,owned and occu- pied by eter O'Brien, who conducts a «rocery store and saloon on the first floor, caught on fire. The fire laddies worked bard to extinguish the biaze, and for 5 few minutes it looked as though a second alarm would be necessary to have ald in putting out the fire, as the entire block seemed to be doomed to destruction. After two hours of hard work the fire was controlied, and an hour af- terwards the department returned home. The damage to the three buildings is estimated at $4,000. Eagan’s dome was entirely de- atroyed, and he estimates his loss at $1,000, insured for $600. Peter O' Brien’s house is partially destroyed. His library and furniture isan entire loss, amounting to $2,500; insured for $3,800. Martin Durrey’s residence is gutted, and his loses amounts to nearly $800; fully insured. The fire broke out in Kagan's home, due to a defective fine.

J TAE WKST END BURGLARS, They Plead Guilty and Are Given Five Years in the Pen. The notorious West End burgiars have been sentenced. To-day they pieaded guilty on one count to burglary in the gec- ond degree, and were given each five years in the penitentiary. For three months during the late summer and early fall the police of the Fifth District were kept busy reporting burglary of West End residences. In the ma- jority of the cases houses were entered which at the time were unoccupied, the own- ers being absent from the city on summer vacations. tinally Third District officers arrested two innoocent-looking Germans who gave thelr Julius ey and Hen A seurch dt the prisoners“ apartment vealed several wago loads of plunder. stuff was carted to tne Four Courts, where half a hundred pereons identified missing articles. Seven warrants for grand larceny. burglary in the second degree, and burglary and larceny in tne first degree and larceny were sworn out against the prisoners. At least a score of sure cases could have been made, but the authorities were satisfied that the men were but amateurs at the business and gave them the benefitof their previous good record. This morning Ciroult Attorney Clover permitted the defendanis to plead guilty to the charge of burglary in the second degree and recommended giving them five years in the penitentiary. This was done. Five other actions against them were then nolle prossed while one in- dictment for burglary in the fret degree and Jarceny was continued enerally.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 4.—The Bee has the fol- lowing from its special correspondent at Pine Ridge Agency, S. D., via Rusbvilie, Neb. : The hostile Indians are making use of every moment's delay on the part ofthe military to is » wholly ron the Indians preparing for war. reason for this move is, our scout says, more to insure the protection of the immense quantities of stolen beef and provisions in the camp than to insure a great sliaughter or soldiers. The moment that these supplies are captured by the military that momentthe Indians must surrender, unless their thiret for biood is so intense as to lead them to fight until they are downed, either by starvation or United States builets. At best, whether the military can capture the bulk ef the hostiles’ supplies or not, the Indians have undoubtedly secreted wall quanti- ties sufilicient in the agaregate to rom them for at least eight or ten weeks. Agent Royer fuilfiiled his promise to reward the friendlies who continue staying in the vicinity of the agenoy, and bas made a special issue of provisions, More than 500 squaws presented tbemselves atthe store-bouse yes- terday and went away loaded down with food. There was net a male indian in the throng. It is rumored that Two Strike, the chief un- der whom the hostiles are marshalled, is wheeling around within shooting distance of the ~ pores d forthe purpose of getting addi- sional pointers on the military. Father Craft. New Tonk, Dec. 4.—Father Craft, the well- who bas been with the Sioux Indians for years, but forthe has been in this city, left this morning for the Rosebud Agency. He intends to visit the different agencies—Rose- bud, Standing Rock, Pine Ridge and others, and see just the exact condition of affairs. He is well known throughout the whole Sieux Nation and will probably have a good in- fluence among the tribes. Beffaloe Bill’s Trip LACROSSE, Wis., Dec. 4.— Dr. Frank Powell returned to his home im this city yesterday from Standing Rock Agency, N. D., accom- panied by William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) and R. H. Hasian (Pony Bob), Col. Cody stated that his party was inthe heart of the Indian country, seventeen miles from the camp of Sitting Bull, where the ghost dance was in progress. Our mission was to capture Sitting Bull,“ said Col. Cody, and we would have accomp- lished our object bad not a courier over- taken us on the edge ofthe Reservation with dispatches from the President ordering our party to return without carrying Gen. Miles’ orders into effect. Ourtrip was not attended with any dangers. Thetrouble, as itis now, is unprecedented. Our party traveled 1,506 miles in less than seven days, and our sur- prise was great at being recalled from our mission. We could ha taken the Bull, horse and all into captivity, Iam sure, witn- out the loss of a single life. It is impossible for me to tell at this time whether this uprising will result in the destruction of thousands of lives or homes, or in a peaceabie settlement. It looke dark to-day, but the military may be able to handle the matter satistactorily. We were sent out by the United States Govern- mentand did our duty until called back. I am here awaiting orders fromthe War De- partment and should Gen. Miles order Pow- ell and myself across the country at once, we Will take the iron borseas far as we can go and then the saddle and take Sitting Bull and all bis family if our orders 6o read.

OMAHA, Neb., Deo. 4.—At a meeting last night of the Ponca Indian Committee, held in this city to consider the troubles among the Rioux Indians, the following resolution was adopted: We beliewe thatthe only remedy for the Indian troubles on eur reservation is the estabiishing of a Government of law on these portions of our national domain, and would raspectfully call upon patriotic citizens East and West to investigate the proposition and uphold by voice, vote and influence this prop- osition to extend to the Indian the cheap but priceless benefite of just and equitable laws.

McCall, who has charge of the Canadian Indians from Lake Superior to the western boundary of Manitoba, says that so far as his superintend- ency ie concerned the Indians have not been affected by the Messiah craze. The danger is from the Cree tribes in Assinaboy, lying west of his district.

Heyl, Inspector- General of the Division of the Missour!, whe has just returned from a visit to the Indians in the Northwest, was Interviewed last even- ing. Among other things, be said: „My opinion is that there is no immediate danger of any serious trouble. The troops are concentrated and seem to have the situa- tion in hand. In fact the situation bas never been as grave as reported, and a great part of the scare hee been uncalied for. A great many settiers have been scared by these reports, selling their homes for almost notb- ing and leaving the immediate country. This bas mostly been eaused by the newspapers, which bave been publishing blood-tingling stories of the uprising.’’ Continuing Col. Heyl said that the move of tbe Indians toward the Had Lands has no special significance. Hesaid that there was many fertile spots in these Bad Lands and that they are inhabited by the Indians.

Mlies, commanding the Department of the Missouri, returned from Washington yesterday after- noon. All callers were denied until the General had given his dispatches attention. Gen. Miles promulgated an order that two regiments of infantry now at Pine Ridge Agency be mounted. These reviments are the First, from California, and the Seventh, from Den- ver. It is also surmised that Gen. Miles him- self contemplates visiting the Indian country in person in the near future. The following order has been received from the War De- partment: „The Secretary of War authorizes the eu- listment in the Division of the Missouri of not to exceed two troops of Indians for each of the cavairs reciments serving therein. Also, the enlistment ef two companies of Indians foreach ofthe infantry regiments serving in the vicinity ofthe Sioux and Cheyenne reser- vations, the whole not to exceed twenty troops end companies of sixty enlisted men each—in all, 1,200 men. Barracks Burned. FORT LINCOLN, N. D., via Mandan, N. D., Dec. 4.—The Barracks of Company D, Twen- ty-Second Infantry’, at this post, were entirely destroyed by fire last night at 6 o’clock. When the fire was discovered the men were busy drawing their winter's supply of clothing pre- paratory to the possibility of taking the fieid next week. The fire was first discovered in the roof of the quarters, and it was evident that they were doomed, owing to the fact thut a strong west wind was blowing. The gran- ary, containing several thousand pounds of oats, corm and wheat were totally lost. The ammunition and arms were mostly saved. The post hospital, by brave work and hard endeavor, Was secured from the raging fire. The loss is severe on the garrison.

Hew the Operations Is Perfermed and the Results Obtained From It. From the New York Herald, In the forms of dyspepsia that are due to some disorder in the action of the muscles of the walls ef the stomach, physical and mechanical therapeutical agents, such as massage, electricity and hvdrotherapeutics, are usually a valuable complement to the dietic and pharmaceutical treatment. The massage of the stomach can be performed in two ways—when the stomach is full or when it is empty. M. Oser! ef Pesth, has given a very careful set of directions for the massage of the stomach when it is full. It must be done when the food has become thoroughly impregnated with the gastric juice—that is to say, two or three hours after meals, at the very moment when the spontaneous contrac- tions of the stomacn begin to pour its con- tents Into the duodenum. The patient should lie flat on the back, the head raised by two pillows and the mouth open. It is well to begin by gentle friction is a direction runaing from the larger curve of the stomach toward the pylorus for two or three minutes. This should be fellowed by kneading movements in the same direction and forasimilar length of time, and then by more energetic and deeper rubbing, to end up by rapid and gentle friction performed in euch away that the whole seance shall not last more than tes or fifteen minutes. When this massage is skiifully performed it ie not disegreeabie tothe patient. It drives out by the @sophagus the abundant gas which was disturbing the stomach; it stimu- lates the spontaneous contractions of that organ and itrelicves the custemary palatul fecling of fulness to which patients of this order are subject. If, after the seanoce, the patient bas an agreeable sensation about the epigastrium, accompanied by a gentle feeling of warmth, this indicates that the 19 has been well dome and thatthe length of the seance has been sufficient. If, on the other band, there is a feeling of fatigue and desire for sleep, it will be necessary to p mere gently and to lessen the length of the — in the future. a7 N ere n A 1 * TERS — 2 ** NK Fant BROTHERS Muslins and Linens.

THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT KANSAS DELFGATES IN THE NATIONAL Al- LIANCE CONVENTION WORKING IT. A Call te Be Issued for a Cenvention at Ciacinnuati te Organize a Great Union Reform Party — Colored Alliasce Men Received in a Bedy—Goyv. iillmar of South Carolina Inaugurated To-Day— Cleveland and Hill, OCALA, Fla., Dec. 4.—As was expected the Farmers’ Alliance Convention which met here yesterday paid especial attention to charges which have been circulated to the effect that the alliance had entered into an arrangement with Wall street and the rail- roude for ther newspapers. President Livingstone denied the whole Dusiness ina speech an hour long and said that the Na. tional Economist never was given acent by any of the capitalists as was asserted. An investi- gating committee will be appointed and the matter thoroughly sifted. Resolutions were passed against the Lodge Dilland against lot- terles. It is reported that charges have been filed against Dr. McCuneof the Econopust before the lnvestigation Committee. A THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT. Glimpses ofathird party movement appear at the Alliance Convention to-day. It is chiefly agitated by the Kansas delegation. Gen. John H. Rice, candidate for the Kansas Sen- atorship, assisted by Capt. Powers of Indi- ana, is drawing up a call to be issued to the Farmers’ Alliance and ali industrial unions of America which favor the principles of the St. Louis platform, to meet in convention in Cincin- nati the 23d of next February, to consider the third party, or People’s party movement. The name of this new party will be ‘*National Union Party of America. This call is not expected to be issued before the close of the Ocala Convention. The effort seems to be to keep the National Farmers’ Alliance from inaugurating the new party and yet to make it the main Dasis of this new national party. At 12:20 p. m.,the National Alliance received the National Colored Alliancein a body in Convention Hall. The visit wasone of fra- ternal greeting and introduction. Speeches are now being made on both sides. Hill asd Cleveland. ALBANY. N. I., Dec. 4.—Gov. Hill, it is claimed, has thrown aside his aspirations for the presidential nomination in 1892, giving Cleveland an open field, and has consented to become United States Senator. This information comes from good authority and the Governor it is said struggled long and hard before be finally made up hies mind. He became suspicious of the motives that noved the friends of Cleveland to give him the Senatorship, and since the election he bas been inquiring into the matter and learned that heis not feared as muchas he thought he was. The result of the recent election changed his mindas to his chances for the nomination, and seeing he must either openly oppose Cleveland or make friends he wisely chose the latter course as the easiest way out of the dilemma, thus put- off his hopes for the office of Executive to 1896. The con- for the Governor’s chair which will become vacant next year will be between Rosewell P. Flower, present Senator from this State, and Edward F. Jones, present Lieutenant-Governor. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Wm. C. Whitney is mentioned as a com- promise man. The prospects of a great cam- paigu for Governor ia 1891 are very good. The New Hampshire Legisiature. CONCORD, N. H., Dec. 4.—The following isa synopsis of Gov. Goodell’s message as read to the Legislature here in joint session last night: It recked all the facts in the case showing that members who had been elected as the result of an increase in population were oentitied by constitutional privi- lege and by the precedeat of 1881. to their seats in the next Legislature put that the State gave the clerks no express authority to enter them upon the rolls and to administer the oath that would enabie them to participate in the organization ef the House. He described the status, too, ofthe group of claimants from the classed towns, showing that although thesetowns bad a clear right to be represented at . time withingthe decennial period to be fixed by the Legisiature, the persons chosen in No- vember a8 members of the next House were without auy right in law to seats. He urged that the clerk should not be called up- on to comstrue the constitution and the stat- utes, but should be relieved by explicit in- structions from all responsibility. Gov. Tillman. Insaugerated. CoLtumBima, 8. C., Dec. 4.—Governor-elect Tillman, who was elected on the reform ticket, composed of the Farmers’ Alliance and other Demoorats, who wanted a change ot Government, was inaugurated to-day in fromt of the State-house, at 10 o'clock, in the presence of a large crowd from all 22 of the State who arrived last night and this merning on special trains. he ona large baicony I the purpose.

GLOBE, 708 to 713 Franklin avenue. A MOTHER AT SIXTY, The Curieus Freak liadulged in by an Old Swedish Woman. An old Swedish woman, by name Marie Johnsen, living inthe outskirts of Lapeer, Mich., gave birth recently to her first child, after baving bee. married thirty-eight years without offspring. The woman claims that she is 60 years old, and looks every day of that age. The physician called in at the accouchement refused to belleve that she could become a mother, and it was not until he saw the child that he could creditit. The baby, which isa boy, weighed only three pounds when it was born and had the appearance of an old per- son, with shriveled teatures and the stiffened joints of the aged, but otherwise seems a healthy, commonplace child. The mother having, of course, no nourish- ment for it, it is being brought up on the bot- tle. currence and views the cbiid as a monstrosity. He is some years younger than his wife, whose statement in regard to her age he cor- roborates. Ihe woman says that she, her- delt, was born when her mother was 52, and that her grandmother, living near Linkoping, Sweden, gave birth to toys at the age of 63, when people came for a hundred miles to view them. Dr. Anderson of Lapeer, who was born in Stockholm, says he recoliects hearlüg, when a boy, of the latter occurrence. Mrs. Johnsen is doing well, and is delighted with her baby, which was baptized bythe priest, receiving the name ot Isaac Jan. The physicians de- clare thut the case has never had but two precedents in the annals of the profession. LATEST words of Edwin Booth— ‘*Flap-Jack’s good, and that’s the truth. College Men in Business. President Ellot of Harvard, at the late din- ner of the New York Chamber of Commerce, said, speaking to the toast *‘Education in Its Relations to Business Affairs:’’ A young wan leaves college at 23 and goes into a cotton mill at the bottom, and in four years he is superintendent. Another lands in a Western city three days after bis graduation without a dollar and without a friend in the city, and in ten years uftervard he is the owner of the largest establishment for print- ing books in that large city. A young man six years out of college is superintendeat of one of the largest woolen milis in the United States. Anotber, but little older, is the man- ager of one of the largest steel works in the country. Theseare butstriking examples of aciass of facts. In Eastern assachusetts graduates of Harvard cet greatly more than their numerical proportion of the best busi- ness places in banking, insurance, transpor- tation and manufacturing. This is the case not only inthe old, welj-established occupa- tions, butin the new as well. For example, the President of the corporation whieh con- trols one of the newest industries in the world is a Harvard first scholar. I speak from no little personal observation when I say that there is no more striking general fact about the graduates of Harvard during the past fifty ears than their emivent success in business. he same is probably trae of many another American college. Taylor’s Sure Cure, cures Dyspepsia. „ Lusch and Lunche on.“ From the Pall Mall Gazette. Lord Coleridge does not recognise the En- gliish word lunch.“ It ie the werd, not the institution, which suffers from this judicial severity. The Lord Chief Justice and all the Judges of the High Court recognize the claims of the meal, and punctually adjourn for it.

In fact, the Eng- lish word lunch, if not current at home, en- joys a large foreign circulation. It has de- eme inthe last few years quite a French word, and seems te ousting the regular gouter from its own tongue. Exymologists might find curious illustrations of national character from the derivation of both words, for ‘‘lunch’’ means a lump ef foed and gouter means to taste.

An Exorbitant Appraisement of Preperty Considerably Cut Down by a Jury—A Number of Diwerces Granted and Peti- tiens for Separation Filed—News Under the Deme. The St. Louls, Keokuk & Northwestern Rail. road Co., allas the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway Co., won a fall from the owner of somo property in the way of the rall - road’s entrance tothe city yesterday. The company wanted 2% feet on Main street forty-seven and one-half reet south of Carr street. Failiag to 80 cure this lot at a satisfactory price thecompany began condemnation proceed- ings in the Circult Court against Joseph T. Donovan, Joseph T. Donovan, trustee, and the unknown heirs, on the termination of the life estate of Margaret F. Smith. Mr. Dono- van, in his answer to the company’s petition, set up a chain of title from Charles Chambers and wife to himselfand claimed damages in the sum of $20,000 for the appropriation of the property. He asked foratrial by jury of the damage he would sustain. George P. Whitelaw, Samuel N. Holliday and James M. Carpenter were appointed commis- sioners. They recommended damages being allowed in the sum of $9,008. To this Mr. Donovan took exception, claiming that the allowance was grossly inadequate. The rail- road company excepted, claiming that the allowance was excessive and exorbitant. The jury, after hours of patient work, came to the conclusion that $7,037 was all that the de- fendants were entitied to. The drop from the owner’s claim of $20,000 to the jury’s award of $7,037 is exceptional. Other Divorce Cases. Bettie Lee Johnston Ertel ‘is plaintiff? aad Frederick H. Ertel defendant to a suit for divorce filed this afternoon in the Circult Court. They were married Jan. 27, 1875, and parted Sept. 7, 1890. She charges him with sustaining improper relations to women known only by the name of Deiphine, and with other women whose names are wholly unkzOwn to her. On Sept. 7, 1889, she sued him for divorce, but on his promises of reform abe dismissed this suit Dec. 4, 1889. The sets of impropriety she charges were committed subsequent to the condonation of previous offenses. She says her husband Is by professiona jourmalist and earns asalary of from 3,000 to $6,000 per an- num. She prays for the custody of their child, a boy of 10, and alimony. Judge Dillon this morning dented Louisa and John Whelan the boon they prayed for— divorce. Theevidence showed that they had quarrelied a great deal and had put indig- nitiesupon each other; but the Judge con- cluded that neitheir showed cause ior the grantinx of divorce. They were forced to pick up the fragments of their household gous. Julia Lee Hickman was to-day divorced from Elmer E. Hickman by Judse Withrow iu Division 3ofthe Circuit Court.

The November Grand-jury made its final re- port a few minutes after 1 o’clock this after- noon. The written communication submitted by the foreman, Hamilton Daughaday, sums up the work of the session as follows: THE REPORT. „We have been in session nineteen days from 10 o’clock a. m. until the docket of the day was finished. We have examined 1385 cases. cases; not atrue bill in twenty-one cases. Three cases were continued for lack of witnesses. We have examined the jail and find everything satisfactory. We fully investigated the matter specially com- mitted to us by Your Honor with the follow- ing result: After a careful investiga- tion and examia'ng of many witnesses under oath we have found that no member. of the jast Grand-jury nor any officer of the court in any way obstructed justice or revealed the secrets of that body in violation of his oath. Wo find from the evidence that every mem, ber of the body acted in the utaiost good faith In the discharge of his duty. We have inquired, as requested by Your Honor, into the cause of the absence en the las “ day of the last term of Grand-jaror Hausperger. We have examined on oath several witnesses, professional and lay, and find from the testimoney ef these witnesses and of the attending physician that he was very sick and confined to his bed usable to attend the session of the Grand-jury thas day. In the School Board affairs the only matter brought to our attention was the charge as to irregularities in the office of Chief Engineer. We find from the _ evi- dence that loose methode have débtained as to the disposal of old materials and other property. and this has been of lont standing. e recommend thatthe board keep a regular record of all old materials and supplies, and that no sales should be made without «a writ- ten order frem the eee ee oe and a proper record should kept of such sales.*’ INDICTMENTS.

THE VOTE ON THE NOON HOUR, Am Overwhelming Majerity fer the One y Hour Recess. Several charges have been made by patgons of the public schools against the voting which Das been done on the noon hour question and state that the returns have been altered so as to conform with the desires of the principals and teachers, Those making the charges are all in favor of an hour anda half at noon Instead of one neue. and claim thattbe hour vote was large ~{ made up of signatures fraudulently obtain One of these makes his statement as follows: It ls claimed by the superintendént 12 Long, that the vote is overwhelming favor of the shorter recess. Mr. — know how many of those votes are fraudu- lent, the paper having been signed by the children themselves or their panecsmntes. who desire to get as much time as for play in the afternoon? An XX would show that many parents whose names are signed in favor of the shorter recess have never seen the paper. As to merits of the question it seems to me exception of arents immediate neighborhood of school, nobody can wish to see the children forced to swallow their meals in that short time, which is left of their noon recess, for that purpose, tak lng into consideration, "that the pupils do dave the schoolroom before we Pp. m. dave to be back at 12:50 p. This must necessarily be detrimental to balth of the children, and therefore I cannot believe, that the majo of the parents favor it, Whatever the teac ers, who consult their own conven 28 may do. HOW THE VOTE Was TAKEN. The school officials were informed of the statement being made and expisined how the. vote was taken and gave toe results. Each principal was given ee biank forms for his school and they were distributed tothe » children with instructions to get their parents to fill them out. These forms explained exactly what was wanted and on each was left two spaces—one for the name in case ene bour was desired and one in case an Dour and a half was des principal was in- he — from his totals. This done at nearly * the schools andthe returns are complete. The majori- ties in favor of the one-bour recess are s0 large that it is scarcely possible that frauds could have been committed and 7 0 hee doubttul if the ee could avold seeing t i was done.

The discovery of large quantities of onyx in Missouri is a matter of far more importance than is generally realized. In conversation with a representative of the Post- DISPATCH Mr. J. F. Leighton said: **] ge have just returned from + trip to Pulaski county, which I visited in com- pany with twenty-two gentiemen for the pur- pose of investigating the deposits of onyx,and we were all surprised atthe showing made. Onyx is really a warble colored with iron and other minerals held in solution dy the water whieh percolates through the sedimentary deposit. Formany yearsthe world was de- endent on Arabia for its supply of onyx and ater quarries were discovered ina r* Thies supply was aleo soon exhausted and the only source from which this Deaunti- ful stone could be drawn Was Mexico. For many years Mexican onyx has been the only kind used in commerce, but reports from that country are to the effect that the quarries are giving out. It was therefore regarded as a great find when it was discovered that in Orawford and Pulask! Counties in this State deposits that were practically unlimited existed. In both counties the onyx occursin twee ways, as ve in onyx, and as stalagmites and stalnoctites. The existence of the Orawfo ounty onyx has long been known, altbo its value was ted until late! ut the Pulaski new thing. own there found, nose lo while there is one vein deposit fully 20 feet len and ot un- known extent. The caves in Crawford County are not guite so large, but there is a vein measuring 1 eet, and at least 600 feet in extent. In quality the light onyx is fully equal to the average of that produced in Mexioo, and we hope to find large deposits ot the dark green; the light green we bave already. The stone takes a high polish, and the amount is practically unlimited. Within a short time 1 expect to see Missouri take the first rank as an onyx producer, SUITS and overcoats worth $20 to $30, Balti- more merchant tailor made, $0.65 and $18.6, one week longer.

C., Dee. 4.—Senator Quay yesterday intro¢éuced a bill granting to all persons whose names are now onthe list or may hereafter be placed on it who have lost both eyes or both feet, or who are other- wise totally disabied, a pension of $100 a month; also to all persons who have lost an arm at the shoulder-joint or a leg at the hip joint, a pension of $60 a month, and to those who have lost an arm below the kEnee $5 amonth.

The biil provides further that persons who have con. tracted two or more disabilities shall receive a sum per month equal to the total of the rates for all of the disabiiities mentioned. Gen. Shields’ IIIne ss. WASHINGTON, D. C., Deo. 4.—The friends of Assistant Attorney General Shields are somewhatapprehensive about bis condition. He is said to be a very sick man and at times absent-minded about what is gong on around bim. The General has been away from active work foraboutaweek. For some months he bas been very bard worked. In fact, all the important questions for decis- ions have come before bim in an official way and nas made his case one of overwork. Gen. Shields has labored as hard in office as he did in private practice aud there is no wonder at bie illness. TARSNEY ELATED. Congressman John C. Tarsney Is greatly elated atthe agreement, which will permit of the passage of the Kansas City public building bill. The Committee on Rules bas practically agreed to admit all measures of this character to passage which have been reported upon. THE SILVER POOL. Congressman Dockery saidthat he would push his resolution on inquiry regarding the sitver pool. In other words he would not permit the committee to lose sightof it. There is an intimationthat If all facts are brought out some ot Mr. Dockers friends will be found among the number. Mertgage Indebtedness. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4.— Te inquiry of the Census office into mortgage indebtedness is nearly completed. Thereport will be very interesting and valuable. Out of nearly 2,200 counties only ten remain at the present time incomplete, the mortgages for ten years hav- ing been abstracted fromthe records. A total of something over $850,000,000 in mortgages bas been found, the largest number in the West:rn States. Relatively speaking the Southern States were found to be much freer from these incumbrances than the Nortbern. Au exception, however, to this le noted in the newly developed manufacturing districts of Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. In districts like that of Birmingham the mortgage in- debtedness is large, but 90 per cent of it has been contracted fur purchase money, plants, lands, etc. In other districts of the South mortgages are given as security for ‘‘farm supplies, but this ig an unimportant object of indebtedness in the North. Surgeen-General Baxter Dead. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4.—Surgeon-Gen- eral Baxterof thearmy, who was stricken with paralysis on Monday last, died at his residence inthis cityat anearly hour this morning. Dr. Baxter was born in Vermont in 1837.

After the war Sur- geon Baxter was appointed Assistant Medical Purveyor with the rank of Lieutenant-Col- | onel, and in 1872 President Grant promoted him to the Chief Medical Purveyorship of the Army, and he held that position until Aug. 16 last, when President Harrison appointed bim Surg eon - General. Cougressional Directory Supplement. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4.—Clerk Michael of the Senate Commttee on Printing, has just prepared asupplementto the Congressional Directory, giving correct maps ofthe States, showing the boundaries of congressional districts and counties, giving the population of States by counties according to the recent census, and the total population of States, as shown by the census of 1880 and 1890.

The Senate. WASHINGTON, D. Of Dec. 4.—Among the numerous petitions presented and referred, RCESTER VASES ASES ES RB 8 Nr SAUCERS KAR. for an extension of the time for the with- drawal of goods from bond under the former tariff rates. Among the bille introduced and referred was one (by Mr. Paddock) for a per- manent Tariff Commission; also one (by Mr. Stewart) for the free and unlimited use of silver es money. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Call, directing the Superintendent of the Labor Bureau to examine and report as to the phosphate industry of Florida, Was taken up and agreed to, after being amended so as to make it apply to the whole United States and to direct the commissioner to make the ex- amination and report. The joint resolution day by Mr. Hawley’ to iseue arms to the States of North and South Dakota and Nebraska was taken up. Mr. Hawley said that if anything was to be done in the matter it should be done quickly. He hoped that it possible auy elaborate dis- cussion of the Indian question should be postponed. Mr. Vorhees said be did not want to delay the passage of the joint resolution, but alter what had transpired yesterday be thought it due not only to himself but to Gen. Miles as well as tothe country to submit some matter which has since come to his hands. That was an interview with ex-Gov. Foster of Oblo published in the Cincinnati Enqguirer,’’ said Senator Hawley. ‘‘Allthe Senators were acquainted with Mr. Foster, who bad recently served on an important Indian commission and his views ought to have and doubtless would have great weight. Mr. Foster said in that interview: ‘In my opinion the difficulties might be easliy avoided. The whole matter bas been brought about bya combination of bad policy and of the incompetency of some officials. The Sioux are starving. Give the Sioux plenty to eat and there will de no fur- ther trouble. After a long discussion on the resolution it Was passed, and then, at z o’clock, the elec- tion bill was taken up, and Mr. Pugh addressed the Senate in opposition to it. The House. WASHINGTON, D.

Three heavy damage suits against the city of East St. Louis based on the allegation that the erection of the Broadway viaduct has in- jured abutting property were filed to-day in the city court. The plaintiffs are Butler & McCracken of East St. Louis, the Zeller Bros. Provision Co. of St. Louls and Mrs. Amelia Thomas of East St. Louis. Butler & McCrack- en claim that they Own property fronting 150 feet on Broadway which has deen injured to the extent of $25,000 by the viaduct aud ask damagestothatamount. In each of the other cases $5,000 is asked. It is claimed that the recent decision of the Illinois Supreme Court in the viaduct cases virtually declares the city’s action in causing the construction of the viaduct to have been legal, and on the strength of thatdecision the dissatis. fied property owners hinge their hopes of re- covering damages.

When the Queen of England wills to take a trip by railthe event is of no small import- ance. In preparation for her recent trip from Carlisle to Aberdeen, a distance of 240 miles, instructions were issued to alli road officials several days in advance, and a copy of the same, printed in gold, was presented to the Queen, that she might understand that every possibie arrangement had been made for her coufort and convenience. Each section mas- ter was directed to examine bis length of line, and station himself at the south end and his assistant at the north end of the same section. A pilot englue sped over the track twenty minutes before the passing of the royal train, and this interval was maintained througheut the entire journey. No gatherings were permitted at the way stations and passengers were admitted to but one station, ard that the last of the whole route. Demonstrations of any sort were for- bidden, the object being that Her Majesty should be perfectivy undisturbed throughout the jourmey.’’ Engineers on trains that awaited the passing of the royal cars were directed not to allow any smoke te escape from their engines or any sound of biowing off steam. The Queen pays all expenses of losses or delays occasioned by her journey. Hew te Feed a Dog. Dogs should be fed in accordance with what they are intended to do.

SALES OF MILLET’S ‘‘ANGELUS,’’ e A Statement ofits Different Sales and Ju- creasing Valuation. From the Pall Mall Budget. Here is a table setting forth the strange, eventful story of the appreciation of Miliet’s Angelus. The picture has been bought, by the way, not fer the Gallery of the Louvre (as bas been stated), but for the private gal- lery of M. Chauchard, who was formerly a director of the Magasins du Louvre (thence the confusion): Sold by the painter to M. Fevdeau W bo sold it to M. Blanc (of Monaco) .....

Chaucward for ; 30,000 Tariff From the Boston Courier. In the recent tariff education Massachusetts bad a leading and s decisive part. Harvard College bad a most important part; and to tell the whole truth, the country is more indebted to Mr. Eliot, the President of Harvard. Col- lege, for bringing this result about than apy other man living. The young graduates from Harvard College made the best and most effective speeches, and they caused their speeches to be printed and circulated over the whole country far and wide. For the most part these speeches took the form of lectures or essays; they not merely advanced theories, but nourished and supported these theories by authenticated facts; they consid- ered objections and answered them fairly. Their speeches were based on truths, and they demonstrated and made plain these truths. Thetruth was sometimes stranger than fiction, and they amused while they in- structed their hearers and reagers They had learned in college how best to.do it. know edge isa tool with which to acquire more knowledge. It was, indeed, a strange sight, to see a man who had graduated from college in the first half of this century, getting mad with his nephew who graduated im the last quarter ofthe century, taught by professors eiucated in the last half, because that nephew knew more than he did. It might perhaps have been an excuse for getting mad if the Senator had discovered that his nephew, with his great advantages for acqguirin knowledge, did sot know so much, but tha be should get mad because he knaows more seers ipnexcusabie. All honor then to these graduates of Harvard College and to their master who tausb them. Kdacation. . — Coflee Market.

The large stocks of pork and lard are dDeginning to be felt heavily on the market and premiums for Jan. to May are widening. This will make it very difficult to advance prices.

A Projected Road Which Will Open Another Southwestern Suburb. Before the Sisters of the Good Shepherd se- cured the Bamber Grove property and de- cided to bulld their new home there very littie attention was given to property in that remote southwestern locality, but the certainty that this institution will exert a potent influence in providing that section with rapid trausporta- tion at an early day basalready created a brisk inguiry for ground all ground there. Lately street oar rallway officiais have been through the territory, and it le said that the Broadway or St. Louls line has decided upon an electric route for it and is now preparing to build a road froin Broadway and Elm weatto Sev- enth, thence directly south to Chippewa street, and then west to the Gra- vols road, and south over the Gravois road beyond the city limits, taking in nine cemeteries on the route. Persons in possession of this information for some time past have been acquiring all the adjacent property they could, and itis claimed thata — deal has been secured by option or pur- chase in behalf of the railway officials. Such a road would run within a block of the pro- jected new House of the Good Shepherd, and in view of many other opportunities for profit tothe road out that Way there is not much reason to doubi thata line will be constructed into that section within the next year. Real estate men are among the first to see incications of such enterprises, which are in variably beld from public notice as long as possible, but it appears that this project a part of the scheme of Gov. Francis, suggested in these columns last Monday, to buve an electric road bullt out tothe Benoist farm and THE KENWOOD TRACT, formerly known asthe Benton farm, where thore has been a good déal of neyxotiating go- ing on lately forthe private acquisition of more than 1,000 acres of land. Two important sales on the proposed route and one other very near to it reported to-day bythe firmof L. V. Cartan & Co. This real estate agency sold for John G. Aff to Charies Mueller at $20. 50 a foot a plece of ground front- Ing 100 feet by a depth of 200, located on the east side of Grand avenue, between Chippewa and W innebago etreets, and a lot of the same dimensions in the same block, the property of Mr. Aff, at $20.50 a foot to Frederick Knittel. They also sold 100x200 feet of ground located on the eustside of Grand avenue, 300 feet south of Winnebago street, from H. W Meyer to Frederick Knittel at 818 a foot, ana the purchaser, knowing what future develop- ments promise for the section, is going to build a fine residence there. Mr. Knittel recently owned 200x200 feet of ground on the south side of Chippewa street, between Grand avenue and the Gravois road, and de sold it to the Hydraulic Press Brick Co. for $8,500, the same property having cost him only $7,000 less than two years ago, when there were no prospects that anybody would ever wantit. It is very high ground, some- thing like fifty feet above the proposed grade of Chippewa street, but the clay being well adapted to brick making, the site ls none the lees valaable to the purchasers on account of its surplus elevation.

THE IRISH DEMONSTRATION COMMITTEE TELEGRAPHS THE DILLON-O’BRIEN PARTY. The Arrangements Have All Been Com- pleted for the Meeting—Success Assured and Every Effort Will Be Made to Get Them Here to Keep the Kagagement —Perpiexed Committeemen. The announcement of the intention of the Irish envoys, headed by Dillon and O’Brien, toatonce break off all their American en- gagements and return without delay to Lon- don created much consternation this morning among the committees baving in charge the arrangements for the demonstration planned for Sunday evening next at Exposition Music Hall. The committees have worked unceas- ingly during the past few weeks to make the meeting a success and realize a goodly sum to aid the home rule move- ment and the evicted tenants who are crusading against the landlord system. Having worked so energetically in behaif of the public demonstration the leaders in the movement were naturally put out this mora- ing on learning that the parliamentary party had definitely decided to return to London on account of the disturbance in the ranks of the Irish Nationalists, duetothe Parnell matter.

We have made the most extensive preparations and every indication pointed to an immense demonstration, notwithstand ing the feeling created at home and abroad on account of Mr. Parneli’s trouble.

It will certainly be too bad if our work has been done in vain, but I still cherish the hope that we will be able to induce the 1 Irishmen to come to St. Louis. hey un- doubtedly know that St. Louis ned alwape been a friend to Ireland, and — never refused an appeal made in behalf of that unfortunate country. Itlooks as though there is some evil fortune hanging over Ireland. Every time it gets nearthe goal of success, some- thing turns up to destroy its chances and put It away back. Inthe present case it is all due to the unfortunate Parnell! affair and this is why we will not have the envoys here, if they persist in their refusal to keep further engageinents made for this country. Here ve have been out night and day advertising the meeting and pushing the sale of tickets, and now we are told that Messrs. Dillon, O’ Brien and their colleagues will not be with us. The suggestion has been made that we have a dewonstration anyhow and invite distinguished local speakers and get up a lit- erary and musical programme, dut 1 don’t know what we will do in that line.

The Famous Artist a Victim of Delirium Tremens—His Threats te Kill John Snedecer, a Brether Seulptor and His Only Friend—Separated From His Wife and Children—Thompsen’s Artistic Gen. ius and Fame. NEw YOEK, Dec. 4.—Launt Thompson, the sculptor and academican, stoed yesterday in the pen of the Jefferson Market Police Court. One would bardly have singled him out as different in any way from his companions in misery. His unsbaven face was adorned with a mustache and long. thin imperial, bis clothing was of common quality and he wore a soiled flannel shirt. Yet his artistic hand has chiseled many famous poses of sculpture. Mr. Thompson bad a row in the apartments of Jonn Snedecor, whois also a sculptor, at No. 176 Fitth avenue. Fora number of years he had been drinking, but with more than usunl abandon for the last two or three weeks, and on Tuesday night haa an attack of de- lirium tremens. He declared be would III Mre Snedecor, and after smashing things pretty generally was seized with the idea that he was being pursued by fiends and barri- caded his door to keep them out. A police- man’s ald was invoked, the door was broken open and the sculptor was found in bed. He said he had not been smashing the furniture, and In proof thereof said there was no furni- ture in the roomto break. Lis argument did not hold good, forthere is some very beau- tiful furniture there and Thompson was marched off to the Jefferson Market Police Station, where he was locked up for the night. Mr. Snedecor appeared against him yesterday morning and requested Justice Gorman to send him tothe Island foramonth. He said that Thompson was undoubtedly out of his mind. The Judge granted bis request and Thompsorn was committed for a month, at the expiration of which time he will be examined as to his sanity. THOMPSON'S ONLY FRIEND. I bave known Thompson since 1854, said Mr. Snedecor toa reporter yesterday, and Iam about the only friend he has left. It’s another case of a man of genius sacrificing friends, fame and fortune to drink. Thomp- son is connected with some of the best peo ple in New York. He has been driaking to excess for fifteem years. His wife, whois a sister of Bishop Potter, still sticks to him, elthough they have not lived together since 1881. Launt Thompson was an Irish lad, who came to this coustry when very young. He studied anatomy in the Albany Medical Col- lege in 1856, and later studied sculpture with Palmer at the same place. He remained with bimfor nine years’ after which he came to New York, soon becoming a member of the Academy of Design here. He was elected an academician and afterwards Vice-President ofthe academy. He went to Florence, Italy, In 1870, taking his wife and theirtwo children. His life there was an oddone. Hekept alot from other artists and scuiptors,but was very intimate with Louis Lang, tbe oldest resident American artist in Italy. He would go on sprees despite the most earnest efforts of his wife to prevent him. Another child, a giri was born in Florence. Ho had many orders from American patrons while there, but neu- lected his work. This was due partiy to drink and party because of his habit of procrastina- tion. Lbave known bim to spend six oreight months over a smal! piece that he could easily finish in two montis. When he left Italy in 1881, he did not bring his familly witb him. They are there still, although he has gone over to visit them. Mre. Thompson is educating the children. I believe she bus some income of herown. She writes him regularly every week and ift she bears of this it will be a bad blow to ner, not- withstanding—well, everything that bus hap- pened. Thompson was very intimate witb the elder Kennett ofthe Herald and made bustof Elaine, a character in Tennyson’s ‘ldyis ofthe King,’ for James Gordon Ben- nett, who has it in his house in Paris now, THE STATUE OF NAPOLEON nowinthe Metropolitan Musem of Art is bis work, as also is the head of Wm. Cullen Bryant inthe same place. Perhaps Ris great- est work is the equestrian statue. of Gen. Burnside. It is 13 feet 6 inches highand is pronounced by experts to be one of the most excellent pieces of equestrian statuary ever produced by an American sculptor. It was made for the State of Rhode Islandand it stands in Providence in front of the City Hall, He was not prolific, but his work was of the kind that would make ulm famous it be bad not taken to drink. He began his career by cutting cameos in shelis, medallions, portrait busts and sych work and proceeded step by step to larger pieces. After he hud made the statue of Burnside—that was in 188—he told me be would do no more work. He had some money then and receceived $40,000 for the statue. Although he has had many requests for buste and statues he has not done a day’s work since that time. His studio was in Java street, Greenpoint, but it hus been a thing of the past for two years. He got iuto some trouble in the Lotus Club, of which he was a member, about a year ago and was ex- pelled. Wien I returaed from the country last summer I found that ne had been arrested forcommon vagrancy. He had been on the Island for a few days, but as soon as I heard of it I got an order for his release. He has lived in my house about five years and drank all the time. For several weeks past he has been drunk the greater — of thetime. He has some money left, but I hope he will be F sO that be canuet spend it on rink,’’ Among other works of Thompson mentioned by Mr. é6nedecor were the statues of Gen. Sedgwick at West Point, Gen. Dapont and Gen. Scott in Washington, a head ot Morse, «a bust of the elder Booth for Edwin Booth, the statue of Abraham Pierson, the first President of Yale College, for which Thompson received the honorary degree of A.

THEY ARE DECLARED BY AN FNGLISH EX- PERT TO BE THE BEST. An Interesting Letter Written by Lieut. «Col. Hope of the British Army—Our Navy Guns Superior to Those ef Great Britain —America Far Ahead in Perfectien, NEW Tonk, Dec. 4.—The Herald this morn- ing says: The accompanying letter, written by Lieut.-Col. Hope, V. C., of the Seventh Regiment of the British Army, to an American naval officer, is a very frank acknowledg- ment by an ordnance expert of the bighest reputation that our navy guns are not only superior to those of Great Britain but alse to those of any other nation in the world. It bas long been known to our ordnance sharps that the finish of our work was superior to thatof any of the English gunshops. The amount of deviation allowed from the exact measurements of the designers has been much larger in England than we have per- mitted in this country and it has been a mat- ter of considerable wonder that, in view of the results obtained here, the English should have been content with such loose work as has been turned out by their gun makers. The following is Col. Hope’s letter: COL. HOPE’S LETTER. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 26, 1890. My DEAR MR. D.—I cannot leave Washing ton without congratulating you and your brother offloers on what I have seen at the Navy Yard. lknew generally from newspaper and magaz ne articles what the Navy Depart- ment bas been doing ia reconstructing ite naval ordnance, but I did not know they were doing It. Thatis, 1 knew geperally that they hed adopted a wun similar tothe English and French guns, withian interrupted screw breech and De Bange obturator, but 1 knew nothing of how and what degree of perfection or im- perfection existed. The system decided upon was carried out. I am old enough to have seen the frst shot out of a rifled gun in Angier and have been a spectator and, to some extent, an actor in all that has taken place in gunnery matters since the siege of Sebastopo). The bistory of rifled guns in Engiand has bees one unbroken record of failuré. In 18611 prophesied in an official report the failure of the original heavy Armstrong muzzle-loading guns. In a few months the failure was admitted and the 801 disunt armor piecing guns are hidden away in the rear facing landward of our Gaoast de. lenses. Justa quarter of a century later I rophesied the failure of the new heavy reech-loading steel guns, more particularly the 43-ton, the 63-ton (now an 689) and the 110-ton (now III). The very next day one of the G-tonners burst and they worse all turned summarily out of the navy. The failures ef the 67 and 69 topsers have been too many to enumerate, while the failure of Lord Armstrone’s much vaunted 11l-ton gun is now admitted, even officially. But in between were the Shunt“ and ‘‘Woolwich’’ muzzle- loading guns ot many different makes, and in all these thirty years we failed to pro- duce a really good, safe, reliable gua, or one that could be relied on to do for any length of time the work that it is credited with on paper. We have spent money iike water, and sofar with no result, except as some of the smalier guns, theagh ¢ of these have proved caprioi a With this long and de | of fall- ures in England, I was quite unprepared for YOUR BRILLIANT SUCCESS in this country. I assumed that you were copying our biunders, but to my astopish- ment you ashop the best—not world. It ts simply ing — criticise ratchet for unscrewing the breech. But when we turn from the designto execution I am lost in admiration of the perfection of your werk. Your standard of steel is higher than ours, and the minute care with which all measuremeasts are adhered to and the exact- nese with which every part is finished are be- youd all praise. Your naval guns are superior to those of any other nation at the present moment, With warmest congratulations to all the friends I have made in the Navy Department, I remain sincerely yours, W. HOPE. A DISTINGUISHED OFFICER. Lieut.-Col. Hope, V. C., who writes the above, isadistinguished office: in the En- giish army who has made a particular study of ordnance and who has, by his writings to the public press, reports, lectures and so forth, opened the English people's eyes to the defects and faulty construction of thelr heavy guns and to tze inferior quality of the artillery ordnance supplied by the English Ordnance Department, such as worthless swords for their cavairy, worthless bayonets fortheinfantry and worthless cutiasses for the navy, inferior saddiery and intrenchin tools, unserv:ceable transport wagons and uncertain fuses. Col. Hope has been employed by his Gov- ernment on many important and confidential missions requiring great Intelligence and sciéntific knowledge. In 1857-58 he was min- tary attache to the English Legation in Wash- ington. For very galiant service during the Crimean War he received not only the written thanks of his own commanding general, but also from the Queen’s own band the Victoria Cross, a decoration bestowed only for hero- ismin the face of an enemy. At various times ne has received the thanks of the Min- ister of War for valuable reports, and he has made a series of inventions and discoveries in guns and gun construction.

NEw YORK, Dee. 4.—The Socialists of this city are still hard at work preparing their plans for the capture of the cenvention of the Amer enn Federation of Labor, which is to meet in Detroit Monday next. Should Lucien Saniel, the delegate of the Central Labor Federation, fail to be admitted, the Socialists couatit certain that a number of their fol- lowers will be present as delezate from Various trade unions to make things lively and —y 4 on theircause. Among those upon whom they rely is Aug. Delebar, who will go as the representative of the lecai union of bakers, itis uaderstoed that efforts will be made to keep him out on the «round that only patioual and not local uniens are entitied to send delegates and this may cause, more treuble. The Socialists will alse bave a strong friend in Ernest Bohm, whe is Secretary of the Centrai Labor Federation and manager of the Cloak Makers’ Union. He has grown tired of the cloak makers aad will throw up his osition with them atthe end of the week. © said, yesterday: ‘*The} are the hardest lot of labor people I every had to deal with. The only way to manage them is with a lud, and as lama humasitarian I cannot resort to that method. The unlon is full of Anarchists who talk strike In season and out. I have ail I cum do to keep them from striking sow inthe dull season. Some of them want Barondess back again, but lden’t think they will get him. I cannot manage a lot of Anarchists, and so I wiil withdraw.’’ Bohm had accepted the position of Secretary of the Nationu! Brewers’ Uulon and bas been selected as their delegate to Detroit. He will make a hard fight for the admission of Saniei, and he is understood to be greatly opposed to the re-election of Presidect Gompers. The delegates for the Furniture Workers’ Union are oppoged to President Gompers and will favor the Socialists.

Hard times came on and only about $100,000 was subscribed here, and reporte say the amount was later reduced consiaerably. The guaranteed the sub- scription fora large amount were reluctant to pav up, and yesterday the advertising agent who unfolded the scheme to the public brought suit for $12,000, the amount of adver- tising bills against those connected with the proposed syndicate.

Naturally one will ask, What are the causes that have raised foot-ball in Yorkshire from the obsourity of being as near as possible an unknown game to the front rank among outdoor sports and pastimes? To answer this it will be necessary to go back to the formation of the Yorkshire Foot- ball Challenge Cup Competition. Some ten or eleven years ago, when there were only about five clubs in the county, the comm ittees of these existing clubs subscribed for and established an annual challenge cup competition, which very quickly proved a success. Clube began to spring up like musb- rooms, and when a year or twe later there were a dosen good entries for the event, the donors and promoters of the com petition felt highly satisfied. Year by year the list of competing clubs increased in size, and for the nextstruggle some ten or twenty more teams have entered, so that with say 130 teams, each made up of fifteen men; there will be no fewer than 1,950 players actively engaged in play for the coveted trophy. 0 The tournament for tbis cup is not played on the American principle. The competition is divided into rounds. The whole of the competing clubs take part in the first round and the winning teams are afterward paired > ig subsequent rounds till only two are left to dec the champiensbip for the ensuing year. Now, add to the number of players 130 umpires and 6 referees and take 5,000 as the average number of spectators ateach of the 65 matches and it willbe foundthat in the opening round of the Yorkshire Football Cup Competition for the ensuing season fully 325,000 peuple are interested ina single Satur- day afternoon’s sport in thisone shire of England. There are alsoa host of smaller clubs that have not reached the standard of excel ence necessary to enable them to enter the cup contest. Every village, even the smallest, has its one, two or tbree fvot-baliclubs. A town of 30,000 inhabitants will have from ten t» twenty clubs, while the big boroughs like Leeds, Bradford, Hudderefieid and Hull have 60 many clubs within their limite that it would be a difficult matter to count them. The introduction of the cup competition has led — very keen rivairy and bas brought Yorkshire foot-ball into the foremost rank in Fbgiand. The Tykes carry everything be- fore them, beating every other county organ- ivation in the kingdom, and only being de- feated In a maten rorkshire vs. The Rest of Ungland. Furthermore, it has not been with- out ite moral tendency. Thousands of people who used tospend their Saturday afternoons in doubtful sports. where betting was the leaGing feature, are now irresistibly attracted, out of pure love for the game, to the foot- ball grounds. Prior toa game a thorough “examination of the team-elect is entered upon, and as a mat- ter ofcourte it le very rarely the couse that two persons outside the circle of the selecting committee can be found to indorse the selec- tion. Each one will have bis oon particular | favorite, and will condemn one or more of the other players. Woe to the commitiee that does not select a team which meets with the approval of the members. Inthe next piace, opinions are freely exchanged as to the chances of the coming event. While one section would declare ‘‘They’re bahn to win’’ (they are going to win), another would with equal confidence predict a very opposite, *‘They’re bahn to toise,’’ ey’ re woing to lose). If such arguments these, which often become very heated as v develop, occur amonx the followers of a intheirown camp, how difficult will it imagine the result when the su,porters € opposing teams happen to come to- er. Hard words are more plentiful thao liments, and sometimes the argument even develop into a fight. hen the particular day for the event comes round, hen the epectators anxiously await the appersrance of the players, and enter the arena send up which can almost be heard fer miles! During the progress ofthe game tbe supporters ofeach team will do their very Utmost to encourage the niayere by cheering every good point they make, and xiving elaborate Instructions to individual players, thus: Nah, Joa lad, tackle lu los“ (Now, Joe my boy, trekle him low): Kick, vo fooll; et thi kick in! (Kiok, you fool; get your kick in): Pass, pass, „and so on. When a maj r point is scored the shouting is cealening indeed, and, regardless of the con- beguences, sticks and bate innumerable are sent fying into the air. One of the most striking and interesting oo- currences in Yorkshire foot-ball life is to be een on the day thatthe final tie for the chal- lengecup is settled. After the contest has been decided the supporters of the winning team beg is remarkably well to graduate for treatment in a lunatic asylum. ‘Jorches flash ov every band, and welcoming peals ring out from the neighboring church tower, It ie in truth a carnival time. And what rt does the trophy bear in the festivities? It is filled tothe brim with bubbling champagne, aod, commencing withthe captain, each player in turn takes a deep and beariy draught of the sparkling liguer. Then, with affectionate care, the cup is cleansed and placed once more in ite oryatal home, to await the resuit of the next year!/s struugie. Harvard and Yale Piayers.

McClung and Beffelfinger. Blakely Hall writes as follows ooncerning the foot-bail game between Yale and Priace- ton, played Thanksgiving Day: 5 ö The name of the here is McClung. He was a dirty hero at that, Witu a smeared face and a gure that was almost grotesque. I doubt if there ever existed a hero with fewer exterior attractions than Ma@lung of Yale. Yet 20,000 tage sat ina bitiig cold wind and cheered im until their threats were rasped and dry. He was the personification of strength, speed and vigor. McOlung is small, with a sharp nose and an immense mop of frowsy hair. He chews gum while he plays foot-bali, and habitually stands in a stooping attitude as though waiting tor a run. he knees of bis breeches were thickly padded, and this, with a curious fashion he bas of allowing his arms >to bang inertiy forward, gave bie outline Vague resemblance to that of a gorilia. Wuen he succeeded in getting the ball he was almost unconquerable. He ran like a deer, dodged, fought, pushed other players out of the Way with hie bead, and even alter they had plied on top of him ‘he plowed and struggied along, carrying the Princeton players on his back. His strength is prodigious and his spirit un- conquerabie. Among the twenty-two highly trained, powerful and plucky athietes, he was exusily and clearly the peer of them all. He kicked every goal that was made in the game and made four out of the six touch- downs. The orly man on whom McClung have to bestow a few of his honors is Heffelfinger. He was Yale’s pride before the match, and he is a veritable giantatbis work. When they passed the bali to him he dashed through the Princeton piay- ers instead of feinting and dodging around them. They were plucky and 5 ulek opponents, but their best tackles were throwmaway by the braway giayt from Yale. Oa one occasion two Princeton players man- aged to hold on to Heffelfinger in the course ofarun, and he carried them along as though they were children. Even after the third man had jumped up on his back he still went a considerable distance before they all came to earth together, Of the opposition side Capt. Poe 4 the only player who distinguished himself, and in his case the distinction was not particularly vivid, Dut he was as quick and crafty as a cat and gave many evi- dences of the superb form ia which he played last year. Corbett’s Conditions. SAR FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.—James J. Corbett. the San Francisco pugilist, has sent a dis- patch to New Orieans, which seems to indi- cate the probability of a fight between him- self and Frank F. Slavin, within the next few months. Two weeks ago Chas. Stenzil, Cor- bett“ manager. telegraphed the Olympic Club of New Orleans tbat Corbett had ac- cepted the offer ef the club to fight Slavin toa Huish for $6,000 and requested the club to ca- bie the acceptance to Slavin and secure the latter’s answer. Corbett received a telegram esterday from Ohas. Noel of the Olympic lub, stating that Slavin accepted, providec Corbett would wager $2,500 as aside bet and deposit a forfeit of $1,000. Corbett telegraphed Noel that money required as a forfeit by Slavin had been posted andthat the match must occur before April lS next. Stenzil also netifed the sporting editor of the New York WORLD that he had telegraphed him §1,000 to bind the match between Corbett aad Slavis. Electieneer Dead.

A Desen Prominent Attorneys Engaged by the Insurance Companies to Resist the Claime of the Texas Standard Cotten- seed Oil Co.—Charges of Arson—Wit- nesses From Texas in Brooklyn. New YorkK, Dec. 4.—The battle-ground of the famous Heidenbeimer insurance case was traeeferred to New York yesterday, when a Texan lawyer and four witnesses arrived from Galveston and were secreted in Brooklyn to await the taking of testimony next Tuesday. About §200,000 are involved in the suits, Charges of conspiracy and arson have been developed, and six insurance companies are resisting payment of losses, with a dozen prominent New York lawyers to conduct hes- tilities. Shipman, Laroque & Choate are counsel for the Commonwealth Insurance Co. of New York; Evarts, Choate & Beman are watching the interests of the Prudential Fire Insurance Co. of Boston; Davies, Short & Townsend are the lawyers forthe Liberty Insurance Co. of this city, while Lachman, Morganthau & Gold- smith and Stine & Calman are engaged by the Mutual and other strong companies of New York. Philander B. Armstrong of 555 Broad- way is the President of three last named companies. Benno Loewey isthe legal ad- viser of the Heidenheimer Bros., the claim- ants of the insurance. The above named companies had mearly $200,000 insurance on the stock and machinery of the Texas Stand- ard Cotton Seed Oil Factory on the outskirts of Galveston. A stock company owned the mill and Samson and Isaac Heiden- heimer, brothers, were largely in- terested in the stock, Samson Heiden- heimer being President. The insurance is said to bave been placed early this year and on April s last the factory was destroyed by fire. Mr. Armstrong, for his companies, at once sent James K. Oakley, his adjutant, and J. H. Darlington, an appraiser of machinery, to Galveston to adjust the losses. Both men are saidto be of unimpeachable character. Mr. Darlington allegesthat on his arrival in Galveston he mettwo men who offered for the payment of 44,000 to supply him with proofs that the fire was OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN. They are also said to have hack interviews with Mr. Oakley on the same subject. These men asserted thatthe factory was fired by Samson Heidenheimer, while his brother, Isaac, waited near by ina wagon. Mr. Oak- ley examinea fifteen witnesses in relation to tothe fire, took their affidavits and retarnivg to New York gave the testimony to Mr. Armstrong. These affidavits were taken from Aprii22to April 24. Shortly after this Mr. Armstrosz paid to the Cotton Seed On Co. the entire loss on the steck, awount- Ing to about $56,000. His companies atill ewe tne stockholders of the oil mill about $40,000 on machinery and bulidings. About that time a young Galvesten attorney named Jos. Marz had made himself conspicuous by the eoliection of stories of workmen employed in the will, some of whom alliexed that the factory was fired by ite president. A reporter calied on Lawyer Calman yesterday about these charges and asked himwhbat he ex- ected to prove by the four witpesses in rogklyn. He said: Frenchman named Cellagne, who was employed in the mill, will tes:ify that on the night ef the fire he saw Samson Heidenheimer enter the mill with a lighted candie. He then came out and was driven away inabuggy by his brother. The fire was discovered sbortiy after hie departure. Another man alleged that he saw Samson kneeling before a pile of bags of cottonseed, and that fire couid be seen on either side ‘of bim. Mr. Caiman added: Ihey had Collague ar- rested for conspiracy, but the judge charged in his favor, andthe jury urued in three minutes with a verdiet ot dequtttal. Mr. Calmas was asked why Mr. Armstrong bad not refused to pay the $66,000 insurance when he learned the contents of the affidavits Oakley had taken in Galveston, and submit- ted to the president of the companies here. Mr. Calman replied ‘*The conspiracy case was then pending and later we got more definite charges against the Heidenbeimers aKer the money was paid. The Heidenheimers alleged that Lawyer Murx has an uusavory reputation, that his con- nection with a Texarkana bank did not reflect honor upon him and that de is unworthy of belief. Marx was undeterred by these charges and continued the coilection of allexed eee te connect the Heiden- heimers with the burning of the mill. Sam- sen then had Murx ARRESTED FOR CONSPIRACY. Hie arrest was followed by the arrest of three of the four men who were supposed to have supplied Marx with bis information. They are Edward W. West, who, by the way, was witness to the signatures on the affidavit sent to Mr. Arme- trong—Isadore Desvorge and Louis Etie. The tourth man, Dennis Collagne, escaped. He was captured, however, is San Francisco as be was abont to sail for Australia and taken back to"Galveston. The prisoners elected to be tried separately and Collagne’s case was taken up first. As he was not convicted, the other, men were not tried.“ Lawyer Loewey said yesterday that Col- lagne escap on a legal technicality, as the Judge charged the jury that if they did not believe the prisoner bad madea certain am- davit be should de found not guilty. Mr. Calman, on the ether hand, declared tbat there was no evidence of conspiracy and that Collagne had spoken the truth. On Friday last the Heidenheimers were ar- rested on a charge of arson. They waived examination and each furnished $8,000 bail. The day before the Heidenheim- ers gave bail Lawyer Marx started for New York with West, Desvorge, Etie and Collagne. W Ben they reached this city on Tuesday las they were,by Mr. Armstrong’s counsel, placed in hiding’ in Brooklyn. Mr. Caiman yester- day deciined to say 22 the Texan delega- tion was stopping. Mr. Caiman said: ‘‘lhe affidavite taken in the ease place the Helden- heimers in a bad position, as the testimony ie directiy against them.

WHAT TAKES THEM OFF?| The Alarming Increase of Preuménia and What It Means—‘‘The Stitch in Time. Searcely a day passes that one dees not hear of men and women whom we picture as the perfec- tion of health and strength, being stricken down by the terrible disease. pneuménia. Perhaps the greatest cause of pneumonia in this country is the extreme Gifference in teimper- ature between the interiors of offices and homes and the outside air. 80 long as people consider it necessary for their comfort to maintain 4 hot- {| house temperature incoors, when the mercury is very low outside, so long will pneumonia Gnd victims. : The greatest care and prompt measures should be taken avon the first approach ef the slightest symptoms of pneumonia. It you have a tickling in the throat, a tightness In the chest, 4 pala in the head, achiliy feeling, or pains throughout the body, act promptly, act wisely—bdring about en immediate reaction. This can sometimes be accomplished by quick and violent exercise, but that is exhausting and wastes the strength, which should be husbanded. A fa? better plan is to take a pure and strong stimulant, which will tend to equalize the circulation, check congestion and restore to health. There are many forms of stimulation, but only one that can be recom- mended—that is Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. This is the only medicinal whiskey upon the mar- ket. and its purity and power gre proven by its popularity. It has saved the iives of more men and women who were candidates for pneumonia than any discovery of modern science, ard it stands, as is deserves to stand, at the head of medicinal stimulants of the present day.

ME. STANLEY TELLS THE FULL STORY ABOUT THE REAR GUARD. The Explorer's Lecture at Chickering Ball, New York, Last Night—Maj. Barttelot’s Brutality—Men, Women and Children Flogged te Death—Jameson's Gheulish- mess—A Terrible Stery—The Explorer’s Defense. / New Tonk, Dec. 4.—In bis lecture at Chick- ering Hall last night Henry M. Stanley, the explorer, told the full story of the rear guard. Mr. Stanley said: ‘‘From time immemoral it bas been the custom to regard the dead as free from censure, and to bury their mis- deeds with them in thneirgraves. Kut it must be admitted that it is as cruel and usjust to slander and vilify the living. It happened thaton the morning of the 80th of August, 1888, surrounded dy over forty-two dying men, and grieving for the loss of 166 mem of the rear columa of my expedition for the relief of Emin, and shocked by the terrible disclosures made by the sur- viving, officer, I wrote in my report to the relief committee that the rear celumn bad been wrecked by the irresolution of its offi- cers, the neg'ect of their promises and their indifference to the written orders This cen- sure seems to bave provoked and to have oc- casioned the publication of a libelous Dook called ‘‘The Diary and Letters of Maj. Bart- tolot, amd to have aroused the hostility of the Barttelot and Jameson families, and the recriminations and angry accu- gations of Messrs. Troup and Ward. At the time of writing that censure, four out of the five officers of the rear oolumn were supposed to be alive. Only one, Maj. Bartte- lot, was known to be dead, and it was re- ported that he bad been shot while commit- ting am unmanly act upon a woman who was the guest of the expedition. Mr. Jameson Was supposed to beat Staniey’s Falls. Mr. Troup had been invalided home. Mr. Ward was supposed to be detained at Bangaia by orders from Maj. Bartteiot, and only Mr. Bonny was left in charge of the scrant, miserable remnant of the rear column. It depended, therefore, on Mr. Bon- ny, the sole educated witness living. to give a written report of al) the facts connected with the disasters, and it devolved upo me, as leader of the expedition, togive my opinion upon the evidence eiven by this officer and other witnesses. When my ietter which con- tained my charitable censure reached Eny- land it was published by the newapapers, and simce ite publication I have been continually denounced as cruel, harsh and unge ner- ous by the Barttelot and Jameson families. If these denunciations bad been founded upon anything approaching to jusiice, and con- sisted only of expressions of indignation from sorrowing relatives, Ishouid have kept silent as to the true reasons that had induced me to include the living and thedead in a gen- eral censure of that character. „The father and brother of Maj. Barttelot, however, thought that their dead relative’s good name ond fair reputation had been wan- tonly attacked, and tbat he should be vindl- cated, and they set about it by editing the private diary ofthe Major, and Gilling their book with most libelous matter, calumnieous accusations and imputations. THE MAJOR’S BRUTALITY. „There are others alive who are far better qualified, if they would, to publish the de- taille respecting the conduct of the rear col- ume or its officers. I know tbat. they are horribly, almost incredibly, scuandal- us, and, therefore, am not in a hurry to publish these things, in much as those who are most guilty of the enormities are dead, and 1 do not see that itcan serve any useful purpose, or that it is my duty to out- age public feeling. Maj. Barttelot was a volunteer officer. His motives for entering the services were good and noble. He sought oppor unities to distinguish himself, or, to use his own words, to obtain more kudos. Mr. Jameson, being a late applicant for the privilewze of joining us, and led by his ardor for the chase and to make collections of matural history subjects, paid over £1,000 toward the relief fund and was accepted. His motives were also noble and good. „Mr. Joba Rose Troup applied for a pos- tion witb us, probably frein a want of some- thing better to do, but demanded remunera- tion for his services at the rate of £150 per aneum, with the addition of free passage, eutfit, and such diet as our circumstances in Africa could furnish. „„ Mr. Willlam Bonny was a hospital stew- ard, and offered to accompany us fur £100 per annum, outfit, passave to and from Africa and such food as could be obtaimed. „Mr. Herbert Ward was met as we were journeying up the Congo and volunteered bis services, but as there were no yvocancies then he offered to accompany us on the same terme as Maj. Barttelet, Messrs. Stirs and Nelson, and do what he could toward effecting the object of the expedition. His motives appeared to be, also, manly and spirited. Despite the prognostications of some of the committee, I had no fault to find with any of these yentiemen, as far as Yambuya, of such a nature as to induce me to resort te dismissal. Maj. Barttelot had on two or three occasions shown a curious temper, butthe outbreuk was too trivial to be visited with euch severe punishment as a disgraceful dis- miseal would have been. „„It was not until Aug. 17, 1888, fourteen montha, after separating froin them, that Idiscovered reasons for publicly censuring the officers of the rear colvinn. These ®reasons were made manifest by the official reportand oral atcounts of the surviving officer of the rear column, by the testimonies of the colored men—Zanzibaris, Soudanese and Manynema—belonging to it, and by the awful state in which forty-two men were found by us. Alter digesting the terrible Story within the brief time allotted to our Stay iv the ghastly pen of Canalyi, I wrote in a@ letter to the Emin Kellef Committes that the conduct of the officers of the rear eciumn bad wrecked it. It, therefore, devolves upon me now to explain the reason of this censure and, first, as to the irresolution ef the of- ficers. BONNY'S STORY. Nou have reud the statement la the Lon- don Times, signed Willlam Bonny. Imagine that terrible story detulleu to me in much the same way as it bas been written, Ilwagine him telling me that his ieader had been so violent in bie conduct as to be in the habit of perpetually stalking about ip the camp, grinning lie a fiend, prodding men with a steel-pointed staff, striking them in- discriminateiy, terrifiying the poor people out of their senses by his domontiacal conduct, foxggiug two meu to death, striking a Man- nem brains out, kicxing a boy ohiid so: seriously that he died, shooting a Soudavese soidier for stealing @ piece of meat, and then telling me that while in the act of ry try and gicking @ chief's wife be bad been shot by the infuriated husband. ’ 4 **Imagine him telling me of another officer having bought a girl 10 years old and surren- dering her into the babds of cannibals, who had slaughtered and carved ber on the spot in order that bis curiosity to see an act o eannibaiism carried out in all ite borribie @Getails m t be fully gratified. Im- againe the Zanzibaris and the Soudanese fol- lowers of the expedition empbasiging these terrible. stoslies with gestures, looks, sigus, heart-rendiac ejaculations, showing their Scarred and ules backe, — inveiahing galant intolerable oppression, Venting theiz work ; very sheer and very cheap. . — anguish in sobs, pointing to the thinned num- ber, and forty-two miserable men even then dying in my presence. Imagine me hearing that Meseers. Ward, Troup and Bonny came up tothis moral swamp at Yambuya with 130 healthy men from Bolobo on the 7th of Aug., 1887, and after reading the written insetruo- tions, coming only to one conclusion, tnat it was better to stay at Yambuysas a forward movement was impossibie. Imagine me, then, listening to a description of those aimless wanderiuyes to and fro between Yam- buya and Stanley Falle to try and induce Tippow Tip to assist them with garrison, their own men steadily dying by twos and threes daily, and while the months were siowly passing with deadly monotony of climatic troubles, came squabbies, petty resentments, jeaiousies and bickerings, no one Venturing to break the feurful inaction by a combined protest against the corrupt influence that was at work destroying their manhood, their in- dependence and native force of character. Do you begin tosee why lcannot under- stand so many things in connection withthe rearcolumn? As I am unable to penetrate into the motives of these acts the recital of the dreadful story bewllders me so much that Ido not know what other terms to use. I say that I ecanrsot understand why Barttelot should go on, day after day, crushing to death the helpless, docile humanity placed under his charge, when the smallest refiection would have impressed him with the fact that be could not have marched or done anything in Africa without those men. I cannot under- stand why he should continue his career of cruelty, depriving himself of faithful soldiers and carriers, preferring slaves tor whose necks he had to purchase chains. JAMESON’S FRIENDSHIP FOR BARTTELOT. Jeannot understand why Jameson, hav- ing paid £1,000 for the privilege of accompa- nying us, should be so. bilnded by his friend- sip tor Barttelot as not to perceive that he was rendering it impossible that be should reup the advantages that he had anticipated when he joined us. I cannot understand how Jameson should suddenly have become such a portentous character as be is represented when buying a little girl and having her deliberately murdered before his eyes, for the gratification of * mor- bid curiosity. 1 cannot understand why Messrs. Troup, Ward and Bonny. suf- ficiently educated, as is clear frumtheir let- ters, should ailow Barttelot to goon kicking and striking, slaying, stabbing and biting human beings whom they were bound to pro- tect, were it only forthe sake of their own fair name and interests. Was Barttelot in- sane? Then must Jameson also have been insane. Their insanity must have over- powered, the reason of the three surviving officers, or I am insane in supposing these feurful acts, this stupid maligaity, this re- morseless cruelty, this incomprebehsibie, perversity, deserving of my censure. In my pinion the docile acquiescence of his subordinates in these misdeeds has been more pernicious to Barttelot and themselves and ourexpedition than Barttelot’s own san- guinary disposition. Mr. Troup states that he feared to be shot as a mutineer. Mr. Bonny admite that he thought Barttelot too dangerous to interfere with, while Mr. Ward proiesses to have seen nothing in all Bartte- lot’s actions but what was commendabie and characteristic ofa gentieman. In New York Mr Ward was accustomed to entertain Mr. E. J. Glave, Mr. Kichie and Mr. Pond with stories of Barttelot’s special malignity to bhim- self and his severity to others, but now this man who was formerly described as a walignant savage is made to uppear as a Christiau officer and a gentie- man. The Barttelots, desirous of getting some expression of opinion from me about Maj. Barttelot, caused two of the committee to ask me if 1 would write a word of sympa- thy. laccordingly wrote a lonz letter, which is published by Mr. Walter Barttelot in bis book, with a string of silly and malicious comments. In answer to that letter I re- ceived the most extgaordinary composition that was ever addres@ed to we,through which the dead Barttelot’s peevish and unreasoning nature shown eo clearly that there was noth- ing more to do than to let the writergo bis own way and, most unwisely, I think, be has steered bis course. For, instead of helping me to protect his brotber’s memory and repu- tation, he has been the means of inducing me to substantiate that censure and let light upon those terrible misdeeds, CHARGES REITERATED. „Mr. Walter Barttelot was advised by all of my late couwwrades inthe advance column to let the matter rest. Mr. Bonny bas stated publicly that he also tendered the sume ad- vice. Sir Waiter Barttelot, the father, was not ignorant that these terrible des were charged against bis dead son. He surrdndered all documents and letters to the editor,or the Diaries, and he was thoroughly awa f the nature ofthe book abouttobe publſthed as the proofs came in. How can these people dare to say now that they did not know of abominable crimes al- leged to have been committed by Maj. Bartte- lot or Mr. Jameson? I declare now thatthe only charges wuich I bave made are that the rear column was wrecked by the irresolution of its officers, the neglect of their promises and their indifference to their written orders. I maiatain that these charges are true ln each and every particular. Ihe very worst con- struction that could be placed upon their conduét, as described in@he sad story ofthe rear columm of ‘Darkest Africa,’ is that they had committed a pitiatie error of judgment. I had aesired and 1 did my very {best to bury in the graves ofthe misguided men alli olse. „Two of the surviving officers, Messrs. Troup and Ward, loudly and insistently claim to bave done the best they could do in furthering the object of the expedition. I fraukly acknowledge that they did as far as it was poseibie without incurring persong! dan ger or dleturbing that dliestul state of mind whicb is oblivious of duty and deaf to the call of suffering humanity. And thelr subseyguent conduct after retreating from the presence of danger, one on the plea of illness, and the other on being used a6 a messenger, is a little inconsistent with those principles which every echool land must aninrate every man who wishes to be commended as a virtuous man, obedient to the oallot duty. With unblushing effrontery and brazen impudence they lead that tribe of writers who delight in scandal, and from the lecture platforms undertake to censure and denounce me as the cause of their pitiful fallure.’’ THE AIR WE NEED. A Timely Suggestion as to the Ventilatien of Living-Kooms, From the Pittsburg Dispatch. With the coming of colder and winter weather there isa natural tendency te stop up the cracks and crevices in our homes. For this purpose the weather-strip and other de- vices are resorted to. With this shutting out of cold air pure air is often excluded. It is as to this latter and very practical view of the subject that the attention of the avér- age householder should be intelligently di- rected. It should be seen to that proper and adequate ventilation be insured at ell times to our living and sieeping apart- ments. Otherwise injury and disease is likely to be entailed upon those Most dear to us. This is espeolaily true of women and childrén, who are otten much more con- tinuously confined within doors than are the men. ‘Ibe best authorities tell us that not less than thirty cubic feet of air per minute is required for each person to maintain areasonabie de- gree of purity. A family of six persons should therefore have about 800 oul,ſe feet of fresh air por minute flowing through the room they are occupying.

Special Cerrespondence of SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. ARIS, Nov. 19.— FP Statistical work is so well done in Franee tbat full reliance can, as arule, be placed upon any returns pub- lished by the authority of the Government. This holds especially true of the report which invariably makes its ap pearance each year as to the. vintage of the previous autumn. The returns received during the last fifteen years cannot nave afforded much grat ification either to the successive finance ministers or to Frenchmen generally, for ever since the phylloxera first appeared in the vine- yards of France (fifteen years ago, the record has been one ef al- most unbroken disoster. In 1875, which was the most abundant vintage ever known, tbe French vineyards yielded neariy two thousand million gallons of wine, and the exports were to the Imports as fifteen to one, Since then, the average under cultivation has been gradu. ally decreasing, being now nearlytwo anda half million acrea less than it was then, and the tote! quantity of wine made has been de- creasing in still greater proportions. Thus, while nearly athousand willion gallons were made inthe three or four years which stc- ceeded the first appearance of the phylioxera, the figures have gone on falling to 546,000,000 galions in 1887. Things mended a little in 1888, when thé vintage reached nearly 700,000,- 000 gallons, and it was hoped that the crisis had been surmounted. But although the damage done by the phyl- loxera does not appear to have increased, other causes, such as the unfavorable weather, the black-rot among the Southern vines and the odium, contributed to reduce the quantity and, as a matter of fact, the total yield of the French vineyards, barely exceed- ing 520,000,000 gallons, was the smallest recorded for upwards of thirty years. Nor, by ail accounts, save in one or two fa- vored districts, does the quality appear to be such as to make up for the lack of quantity, and this being the case, it is not eurprising to hear that France, which at one time may be said to have supplied wine to the rest of Eurove and to many countries inthe New World, last year im- ported nearly six times as much wine as she exported, forthe exports were not much in excess of 40,000,000 galions, while the imports were about 220,000,000 galions. How striking is the contgast which the present state of things offers with the halcyon days that pre- ceded the appearance of the phylioxera, when the exports were 80,000,000 galions and the Im- ports only 6,000,000 gullons. Whatare FRENCH WINES made of? Last year France produced, as we have seen, about 700,000,000 gullons of wine, and berseif consumed not far short of 1,000,- 000,000 gallons, to say notbing of the exporta- thon. Howthen, was the rest of the wine“ produced? Clearly it was artifically produced somehow. But bow? From Levantine raisins, some say. Ihe method of making wine from sacchari- fied fruit has been known ever since the days of Mango of Carthage, wha is said to bare — M a bout B. There has een for at least twenty years a steadily raisins, or, as increasing importation of the Mediter- they are known in runean trade, of uvasecca, from Italy und Greece into France for wine making purposes; and the manufacture of wine from dry raisins has since the invasion of the French vineyards by the phyllozera made wonderful progress, tor while fifteen years ago, when only required for table purposes, the Imports of ruisine and currante did not exceed 6,000 or 7,000 tons, the total tor the last three or four years has averaged 65,000 tons, this being considered equivalent to 270,000 tons of fresh grapes. Ihe wreater part of these raising and currants come from Turkey and Greece, at Spain and Italy, the only other countries which exportthem, send but 4,000 or 5,000 tons of the whole. English shipowners have secured part of this carrying trade and a considerable quantity of the raisins from Greece and Turkey reach France via London. The raisins which are sent to Marseilies {rom Asia Minor are of the black variety, but the Corintb raisins, which are known to asas ‘‘currants,’’ are the best, as they do not contain any pips. wulle the crop isso large thatit offen rexches pearly a ton peracre. The mode of drying the truit varies very much, forin Turkey and Greece the bunches of grapes are simply laid on the ground and the sun is allowed to dry them. They are then scooped up withasbovel, no pains being taken to remove the sand and wravel which hus accumulated. In Spain the buncbes are not exposed to the air until they bave been paseed through bolling water mixed with ephes, this being the me hod in special! ta vor it Malaga. In many vineyards of the Greek Archipelago the grapes are allowed to dry upon the vine, after the endof the stem has been twisted, so as to prevent the sap ascending. The average price of these ra. ig 5 cents per pound, and the duty is only 62 cents per bundred welgut in France. The preparation of the wine MADB FROM THESE RAISINS is not at u av elaborate business, for, as M. Bouissingault, the famous French chemist, points out In a recent report tothe Ministers of Agriculture, all that is necessary is to put raisins into a Vat filed with water at a tem- perature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit, there being ee gullons of water to every hundred weight of raisins. Asmali quantity of suger is sometimes added to qulcken the fermenta- tion. This termentation soon occurs, and generally lasts for a week or so, at the end of which period the liquid is drawn off and the wine is made. As a rule, itis ofa very pale color, and when it is deemed desirable to make it look like ordinary table wine it is mixed with some very dark Spanish wine. These wines contain from 7 to 10 per cent of alcohol, but they have but very little tannin and do not keep long. When wine is made from raisins, with care and ander these conditions its cost price is very low, for one hpndredgeight of raisius is not worth, duty included, more than $7, and, waking full al- lowance for,the expense of manufacture, the wine can be seid ata profit at 16 cents a gal- lon, wherege, in reality, the wholesale sellin ice is mere than double. tro m th clusion.

There is, in fact, an opening for a profitable business in this line, and 1 am surprised En- giish and American merchants have not yet embarked in it. Quite recently the Frenoh Minister of Justice sent a ciroularto all the district at- lorneys in France, Corsica,and Algera,inform- tng them thatthe circular of July 17, 1880, re- lating to the DOCTORING OF WINES, is to be put rigorously in force. The circular, the prescriptions of which are to be strictly applied to the vintage of the present year, forbids the sale of wines containing more than two grammes of caicium sulphate per litre. Thisis whatthe French call platraye —i. e., adding plaster of Paris, or calcium sulphate, which dgcomposes the potassium tartrates, producing sulphate of potassium and preventing mucb of the astringeat and coloring matter from passing into solution. Of sourse, numerous com- piaints have been made by merchants, who consider the regulation too stringent. The wine-growers in Languedoc and elsewhere areina perfect state of alarm. They allege that tue perniciousness of plastered wines, even when containing more than two grammes of calcium sulphate per litre, is far from being demonstrated indisputably. On the other hand, it remalos proved that wines strongly plastered have sometimes caused accidents, andthe prolonged use of such a drink cannot de without prejudice to health. A certain amount of plastering has hitherto been aliowed, and not very long ago a slight increase in the quantity of sulphate was au- thorized by the Minister of Agricuiture. The permission haus since been countermanded, and hence the alarm lu certain districts where common wines are produced as to the fate of the coming vintage. This process of adding catoium sulphate to ing issaid to clear the wine, it brilllantand carry down into the dregs any matter otherwise heid in suapension. The dregs, being thus heavy, bave less tendency to remix with the wine in case of fermenta- tion, the sulphate giving it a somewhat stronger taste und rendering it slightly pur- gative. EKmployed with moderation, no se- rious harm can result from theuse of the chemical, but the quantity has in many cases been forced, fortunately only for inferior, thatistosay, common wines, and the abuse has therefore justified the interference of the Goveroament so far as to fix the maximum a mount of calcium sulphate to be employed at two grammes per litre. The wine dressers sre, however, in a quan- dary Ihev pretend that without the adal- tion of a certain amount of calcium sulphate for the plastering operation their products will become worthless; atthe same time the autborities remain firm in their tnterdiction. For Burguady andjBordeaux wines the system of plastering is never employed, and as they are the principalexport wines the sulpbated wine is mostly drunk by loc, or, at any rate, French consumers. Tie adversaries of plas- tering coatend that the addition of calcium sulphate would be rendered unnecessary if the wine growers would be wore careful! in several important detalis they bave been ac- cusiomed to negiect during THE PRESSING OPERATION. But, reverting to the arcificial production of French wines, I find, according tothe latest statistics published by the administration as to the vintage, that less than 44,000,000 gallons were made in one year from dried grapes. It may, therefore, not unfairly be supposed that the 110,000,000 or 130,000,000 gallens which re- main to be accounted ier ure made from more illegitimate materiais. If artificial win makers bad limited themselves to the use o raisins, the injury would not have been seri- ous; but the use of raisins covers a multitudo offrauds. Although all wines and liquors im- ported Into France are subject to close inspeo- tlon and analysis at the customs before de- livery to tbe importers, so that if found adulterated they uf: not permitted to entry, there is no inspection or examination what- ever of wine exported. French wines are largely aduiterated otherwise than by mix- ing those of poor quality with stronger wines or brandy, such mixing and judicious amount of piastering not being necessarily prejudicial to health. Amony other villainous compounds, there is a liguid largely sold as wine which is manufactured of water, vinegar and logwood; withatenth part oft common wine from the south of France to cover the fraud. Not only is wine faisified by adding cider, sugar, wolasses, tartaric, acetic, or tannic acids, sulphuric acids, alum, bitter almonds, leaves of the cherry laurel, etc.; butitis largely marufactored without the slightest pretense of being associated with the grape. The result of a fermentation of the grape is imitated by means of fermen- tation with water and sugared substances, such as syrup of fecula, dried figs and raw sugar, or juniper berries, coriander seeds and fresh rye bread. , After fermentation the liquor is racked off, and if it len t sufMicientiy colored an infusion of red beet or myrtie ber- ries is added. In order to correct the acidity, some makers are unscrupulous enough to use litharge, thus affording to drinkers the prob- able chance of an attack of colic. Alum is principally used to produce the styptic which velongs to Bordeaux wine. The coloring matters generally used are dwarf and biacw® elder berries, myrtie and phytolacca berries, Brazil and Campeacby wood, beet juice, rose mallow, cochipneal, fuchsime or aniline red, and more especially grenat, the residue of the tabrication of fuch- sine, of red or violet aniline, and ROSE ANILINE SORTS. Some of the coloring wine-tincture sold under fancy names contains arsenic. The most suc- cessful of all these coloring matters is brown grenat, which imitates as nearly as possible the maturai color of wine, while its elements ere very neariy the same. Log- wood appears to be most in favor in the Paris manufacture of wine, ‘as it give young wine the color ofthe old; while fuchsine and cochisiealare the usual ageats in the north of France, and the elderberries are most used in Pi rtugei and Spain, This latter offers to the consumer the advantage of being of alaxative nature and thus enables him to Kill two birds with one stone.

Her Aberdeen property has been adm itted over and over sgaininthe chamber that very little of what is called wine, now sold in Paris, unless it be for high prices and under the direct contrdi of the owners of vineyards, merits the name. The liquor dealers, who are legion, profess to be scandalized at these extensive disclosures, and threaten all sorts of vengeance on the in- discreet politicians who have brought out the facts, Tiraud’s cabinet went out on it seven months ago; yet the present govern- ment das adopted stringent measures to guard against the fraud. All the wine and liquor dealers throughout the country since the adoption of what is called the ‘‘Gritfe Law, from the name of the deputy who brought it forward, bave stuck up the 11 notice in their shops: In order to shield myseit against all legal proceedings, I do bereby warn my customers—frst, that all the wines sold nave water added to them; second, the syrups, aleobolic drinks, cider, beer, to., are fancy liquors; third, on account of the con- tinual exchange of the giassware the capacity of bottle and glasses are not warranted.’’ W bat better avowal than this could there be found thatthe whole gang are a lot of fraudulent retailers? The notice they put up has, of course, no legal value. It wag, first suggested to them by thelr ‘‘syndical cham- ber. the Union of Paris Wine Merchunts. The Griffe law, which was promulgated last year, compels the dealer, under penalty of fine and iu:iprisonment, to declare the nature of the wine he offers for sale, and to state whether it is made with BUGAR OR DRIED GRAPES. He cannot, therefore, before any court, evade the law Dy a poster. The fact that he did not manufacture the commodity is to no purpose. He must be held responsibie for the composi- [ tion of the stuf®he buys and afterwards selle to nig customers. The law is above all a fiscal law. Wines made from dried grapes cannot now be sent from one place to anotber with- out written proof. In that way retailers found selling adulterated wites must show where the mixture comes from; if unable to do so, the inference is that they are the manu- facturers. Sbould a wine dealer go the length to manufacture bis own wine from dried grapes, he infringes the'law by seeking to de- fraud the customs. The fiscal authorities must in that case be on the lovkout for him. On the other band, should the owner ot vine yards or the manufacturer send bim bad wine, he cun easily get satisfactien from the sender by process—verbal—iong before the goods enter hisshop.

These hopes have not been realized, Ihe three enemles of the French wine trade are the increased tariffs, fraudulent manipu- Jations of various Kinds, and the competition of foreign wine growers.
