LOUIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 1892—TWELVE PAGES, BACK TO CHINA for His Passports. ‘What the Passage of the Chinese Ex- clusion Act Means. IT SEVERS DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BE- TWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES. A Strongly Presented Protest Against the Action of Congress on File at the State Department—It Was Never Answered by Secretary Blaine—Treaty Provisions Which Have Been Grossly Violated— Sentiment on the Pacific Coast-—Trade Etatistics, WASHINGTON, D. C., April 6.—It is stated on good authority to-day that the Chinese Minis- ter has indicated to Senator Sherman ofthe Foreign Affairs Committee that if the ex- treme Chinese exclusion bill became a law the Government of China would sever all diplomatic relations with the United States. Senator Sherman refused to say anything upon the subject when questioned in regard to the report. Representative Hitt, who led the opposition to the bill in the House, said that he had re- ceived intimation pretty directly, though of course not officially, that in case the Dill became a law, diplomatic relations between China and this country would come to an end. Healsosaid that there was reason to fear that the Governmegt of China, hearing of the passage of the bill by the House, would instruct its Ministertoask for his passports without waiting for the action of the Senate. Representative Hitt contends that instead of Chinese flocking to this country by thousands, as has been reported, the Chinese were actually leaving the United States, 18,000 more Chinaman having de- parted from the country since 1888 than have arrived. The action of Congress on Monday last in rushing through the lower House another restrictive act against the Chinese, calis to mind the protest which the State De- partment received from the Minister of China against the continued violations of treaty rights by the United States. Inthis protest, which bas never been answered, Minister Tsul Kwo Yin says: When it is borne in mind that a vear and a half has passed since your Congress and President united in a measure which (as the Supreme Court decided) compelled the authorities to disregard and trample upon solemn ‘treaty stipulations and during which time not onlv the measure itself has been most rig- idiy enforced, but to its severities have been added by executive action new restrictions upon Chinese subjects in the United States, it certainly will not surprise you if ]}communicate to you the earnest and anxious desire of tne Imperial Government that I should obtain from you some expression of the views and intentions of vour Government on this import- antsubject. * * * The tens of thousands of Chinese subjects wno temporarily .left the shores ‘of the United States, arined with the signed and sealed assurance of this Government of their right to return, and relying up- on its good faith, in almost every case left behind them inthis country property, business, families, relatives, obligations or contracts, which have been imperiled, broken up, orinsome shape injuriously affected by their unexpected and unwarranted se- clusion. . The vast number of Chinese laborers who were in the United States atthe time of the passage of the act of 1888 had come here under the guaranty of solemn treaty stipulations, which allowed them ‘‘to go and come of their own free will and acecord,’’ and on the solemn assurance that they would be main- tainelinthis priviiege against * legislative enact- ments,’’ and, under this act, if they should visit their native land, drawn hither hy the ties of family. patriotisin or business, they must sacrifice and aban- donalltheir interests and property in the United States; they must choose between a complete break- ingupof long established business relations here auda perpetual bavishment from their native land by acontinuous residence inthiscountrr. * * * But notwithstanding this treatment of the Chinese in the United States, the Imperial Govern- ment has steadily and untformly recognized anda enforced not only its plain treaty stipulations re- specting this disturbing element introduced into its territory, butin its desire to deal justly and pursue friendly relations with America it has gone beyond the treaties and yielded to the foregoing extreme and illogical demands of your Government. Let us now turn for afew moments to the posi- tion of the American Government in respect to the rights of its merchants and commercein China and the treatment thev receive from the authorities there. It is natural thatthe American Government should take a deep interestin this trade because of its extentand importance. pateh dated July on the foreign trade of exports and the imports § from States stand second in volume, or next to those of Great Britain. Yetintho past two years or more I ain notawatfe ofany specific complaint of injustice or hardship suffered by a single American merchant in China, oranv allegation of different treatment extended tothem. than to all other foreign mer- chants. The only question of trade which has arisen between the two Governments has been on the im- portation and regulation of tradein kerosene. Owing to its explosive character many live, have been lost and much property destroyed in China, and certain of the provincial authorities have urged pes the Imperial Governinent the restrietion of its im- jortation by government control ofits sale, and by nternal taxation; and, in the furtherance of this view, ore of the viceroys, in memorializing the throne, referred to the position ‘assumed by the United States in the exclusion of Chinese immigra- thon and said: ‘‘If they can prohibit our going there becanse Chinese labor is injurious to their interests, we have an equal right to prohibit. the importation of kerosene =hen it is injurious to us.’ Although by express treaty stipulation the Chinese are in the United Statesto be ‘’allowed to go anid come of theirown free will and accord,’’ and are puaranteed the treatment ‘‘accorfled tothe citizens or subjects of the most favored nation,’’ for the past eight years no such treatment has been extended to thoin. While the merchants ofall other nations of the earth are perinitted free and wnobstructed en- trance into and departure from the ports of the United States, the Chinese merchant has, by rhe logisiation of your Congress, had thrown around bim the most obstructive, embarrassing and® humiliating restrictions. Heistreated by the customs author- ities with much the same .survelillance as is: ex- tended to vagrants or criminals, and before he is permitted to land he is required to produce a certifl- cate, the strict conditions of which make (t difficult and expensive to comply with, and humiliating and obiectionable to the man of honor and self-respect, it being necessary to set forth the amount and de- tails of the businessin which he isand has been en- gaged with a statement of his family history and occupation, and all these matters are subject to the examination and apvrovael of the American Consul at the Chinese or foreign port when he sails. Such, Mr. Secretary, are some ofthe contrasts in the observance and enforcement of treaty rights be- twoen the two nations. Can you wonder that the Imperial Government is growing restive and im- patient under such dissimilarity of treatment and is urging me to obtain from yousome satisfactory ex- lanation of the conduct of the American authorities n the past and some assurance of the course to be pursued in the future? *** To this communication, which is now made oe for the first time, the United States as made no reply, unless the introduction of the Geery billin Congress last Monday pro- viding fortherigid exclusion of all Chinese from our shores may be regarded as the answer of the American Government to China’s protest. What action the Chinese Government will take is uncertain, but it is known that the policy of expelling American residents in China is under consideration. In view of the factthat but 1,022 Americans area to-day residents of China, while 160,000 Chinese are livinginthis country, it is not believed the Imperial Government will resort to this method of retaliation. The present Chinese exclusion act expires on May 4. The Geery bill is intended to fill the place of the present law, and will doubt- less pass the Senate with little modification. OHINA’S POLIOY.

LONDON, April 6.—The Standard says: While China may retaliate for the American exclusion bill she may also welcome a meas- ure which will afford an excuse to limit the freedom of foreign trade and check the drain of tax-payers from China. The English colonies are unlikely to imitate the bill. Timothy Harrington, speaking at a League meeting in Dublin, said that the evicted ten- ants had been hopelessly abandoned by the McCarthyites, and that their position was worse than ever and that the prospects were of the gloomiest description. NATIONAL CAPITAL. Sample of Republican Filibuster ing— Washington News. WASHINGTON, D. C., April @&—The filibus- tering in the House yesterday by the Repub- licans on the wool bill demonstrated the power of the minority, anda very small mi- nority at that, to prevent legislation. A prominent Western member said this morn- ingthat if the Republicans continue their tactics of yesterday the Democrats will be forced to do one of two things in order to pass the wool Dill. ‘*The much better take up the measure an pass it under a suspension of the rules and it would be ease to get the required two-t)irds ora cloture rule will haveto be reported by the Committee on Rules and adopted by. the House,’’ said he. ‘*I can’t see why the Democrats make such a bugaboo of the cloture rule as provided for inthe rules of this House. It 1s very different from the Reed rules—they clothed the speaker with power to force a_ vote by refusin to entertain dilatory mo- tions, an he might do it when he saw fit. The rules of this house are dif- ferent in that they require a majority of the House to sustain the rule tor cloture before the Speaker can prevent filibustering. I think the majority of the House and not the Speaker should have the right to stop dilatory motions and force the vote on the main question, and Iam inclined to think the Democratic House will finally be forced tothis positionin order to pass the wool bill,’’ At the close of the morning business in the Senate, Mr. Morgan called up thesiiver reso- lutions and ylelded the floor to Mr. Wolcott of Colorado, who proceeded to address the Senate on the subject. At the close Mr. Morgan’s resolutions went over without action, and the Senate resumed — ee of the Indian appropriation ill, The House has gone into committee of the whole on the tree wool bill, with the under- standing that debate on the first section sball close in one hour and a half.

Boston, Mass., April6.—The Union Pacific people in Boston donot seem to share the belief expressed in New Yorkand hinted at from London thata radical change in Union Pacific management is imminent. There is no doubt that the Drexel- Morgan people would be glad tohave Mr. F. L. Ames take the presidency, but such an outcome is believed ‘to be altogether impossible. Mr. Dillon is 80 years old, and on this account may think proper to retire within the next year from duty, his present official position forces upon him. The greater part of the movement for a change in the Union Pacific unquestionably comes from the foreign holders of the company’s securities, and itis belleved that proxies on the foreign holdings of stock are concen- trated in hands here that may cause a change if the opportunity is offered. The idea that Mr. Gould has parted with his holdings of either stock or guaranteed fund notes dis questioned. TRIPLE MURDER. A Brute Eeats His Wife and Children to Death. BELFAST, April6.—A most horrible triple murder was discovered in this city to-day. A man named Allen §. Pier; for some reason yet unknown, became enraged at his wife, and grasping a hammer, battered her head intoa jelly. After he had killed his wife, Spiller turned upon his two children and despite their wild appeals to be spared, he deliber- ately struck them againand again with the hammer, Death soon ended their torture, Jumped From a Window. CHARLESTON, W. Va., April 6.—Yesterday John Worthington of Washington, D. C., registered at Hotel Ruffner and took a room on the third floor. This morning his dead body was found on the pavement at 5:30 o’clock attired ina nightshirt. The suppost- tion is thatthe dead man is Rev. J. J. G. Webster of Baltimore ascards bearing this name were found op his clothes, and a note left by him saying: ‘‘Ruined. Lost. Stay at home.’’ This was signed, ‘‘J. J.G@.W.’’ Itiscertain he killed himself by throwing himself out of the window. He fell face foremost, crushing his face badly. Fifty-nine dollars was found in his effects. _— Reid’s Successor. | NEw YorK, April 6.—A Washington cor- respondent speculating upon Whitelaw Reld’s successor, states that among those mentioned are Joseph Medill, editor of the Chicago 7ribune.

PROSPECTS GOOD FOR A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY. , Both Parties Have Made a Thorough Can- vass of the State—Latest Tips From To-Day’s FEalloting—Democrats Suc- cessful in Chicago—Municipal Returns —The Field Reviewed. PROVIDENCE, R.I., April 6.—Rhode Island realizes that all eyes are upon her to-day. The State has not been carried by the Dem- ocrats in a presidential year since 1852, when the State went for Pierce? It has been car- ried by the Democrats on a plurality vote ranging trom 1,200to 4,400in the last three State elections. To carryit now would in- sure its four electoral votes to the Demo- cratic candidates and these might. possibly decide the result in the presidential election in November. The State has a rotten-bor- rough apportionment that may give the Ke- publicans the Legislature andsave Aldrich, the Republican candidate for Governor, and and at fhe same time give the Dem- ocratic State candidates ta plurality. A governor, lHMeutenant-governor, secre- tary-of-state, attorney general and general treasurer, are being voted for to-day. W. T. C. Wardwell is the Democratic candidate for Governor against Senator Aldrich, who heads the Republican ticket. Conservative estimates based on the data taken from previous elections and the can- vass of Providence place the majority in this city for Wardwell at 2,000, and Demo crats who have made a thorough study of the situation predict a larger majority. Last year Providence gave. 8,300 votes for Gov. Davis. In this election it ts now believed that the city will give between 10,000 and 11,000 votes for the Democratic ticket. The heavy Democratic registration of last winter and the belief that the vote will come out lur- nishes the ground forthe prophecy. _In Pawtucket Mayor Carroll’s fight against the monopolies that would fetter the city is helping the Democrats. Woonsocket’s heavy French vote will unquestionably be thrown largely in favorofthe Wardwell ticket. In Newport Mayor Honey’s aggressive tactics with reference to the water monopoly there promises to swell the majority against the Brown ticket. Thisis the present outlook in the four cities. As for the towns, Bristol, Candidate Ward- well’s home, where he is very popular, is ex- pected to give him:a good plurality. In War- wick the Democrats feeigure of their Sena- tor and of aaa at least .two.out of the four Representatives. In Johnston there is an even chance for a Democratic gain. Scituate is a Democratic town, and two out of her delegation of three to the General As- sembly will be Democratic this year, Gloucester will return a Democratic Repre- sentative without a doubt. The present ¢el- egation of five in the General Assemby from Lincoln is Democratic. Four out of the five if not the full delegation, it is believed, will be returned. In footing up the returns it must be remem- bered that it requires a majority of votes to elect State officers. Ifa majority vote is re- ceived by no candidate the election is thrown into the State Legislature. Hence the im- <<. of the vote for members of that ody. The weather is fairanda very large vote is being polled throughout the State. There is much excitementin all the Ward rooms in this city, and deputies from all over the State give intimations of a similar state of the public mind. How the voteis going is much more difficult, and in fact impossible to predict. Individual men,especially on the legislative tickets, are being cut and scratched everywhere in the State, andit must be a long task to count the vote and will be a late hour inthe night before the result can be known with any degree of accuracy. Both sides are fighting hard and neither will allow the election to go by default. ‘The gen- eral opinion still is that there will be no elec- tion ef the State ticket by the people, but that the Democrats will havea plurality and the Republicans will secure amajority of both houses of the Legislature. ILLINOIS. SUCCESSFUL IN ILLINOIS~—THE STATE REVIEWED. CnHicaco, Ill., April 6.—The Democrats were victorious in North Town election yes- terday. The South Town Democratic ticket was all elected except Laas, whom the Republicans elected Supervisor. Inthe West Town the Republican Assessor and Collector, the Democrats winning the rest of the ticket. The Republicans also carry Hyde Park, Lakeview, Jefferson, Cicefo, Palatine, Geneva and Desplaines, while the Democrats winin Lake, Worth andLemont. A ‘‘Citi- zens’ ’’ ticket in Calumet defeated the regu- lar Republican ticket. In Cicero the proposal to annex a portion of that town to Chicago was defeated by a majority of 889. In the city the same en gerd tion carried by a majority of 12,800, but the annexation will not be made asthe scheme did not. carry in both places. Reports received up to6 o’clock show that in Illinois the Republicans carried Auburn, Cerro, Gordo, Galva, Henry, Decatur, Mar- tinsville, Casey, Darwin, Flora, Lincoln, Tuscola, Garnet, Newman, Sargent, Cedar, Marengo, Geneseo, Princeton, Nokouwls, Car- bondale, Monticello, Naperville, byons, Braidwood, Champaign, Waukegan, Don- ville, Fairbury, Monmouth, Abingdon, Rock Island, Kankakee, Galena, Hanover, Joliet, Vandaila, Paris and Knoxville.

Braceville, Mc- Leansboro, Benton, Carroliton, Arcola, Al- ton, Freeport, Hillsboro, Pekin, Nashville and Mount Vernon. In most of the other towns fn the State local issues formed the bone of contention and party lines were forgotten. A large number of women voted. at the school elections throughout the State. In all cases separate ballots and boxes were provided for them' and they were very enthusiastic over their new privi- lege. Inafew places women offered votes, but they were not accepted, and it is prob- able that all such elections will be contested. The new Australian ballot iaw, used for the first time in many places, seems to be a suc- cess. As tsual in such cases,& number of voters were not sufficiently instructed as to the manner of. preparing their ballots, and about 3 per cent of the votes inthe country districts will have to be thrown out.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 6.—The election throughout Wisconsin yesterday was watched with great interest Dy politicians as it was the first election § of consequence since the Democrats under the _ lead- ership of Gov. Peck wrested the &tate from the Republicans. The principal Inter- est of course centered in Milwaukee City and County, which Gov. Peck carried by about 7,000.

Frank Wier (Rep.) for Munt- cipal Court. Clerk, was elected by 1,245 ma- jority. Two years ago the average Demo- cratic majority in ony See county was 6,800, Yesterday it was 1,400. In the State party lines were not closely drawn and the vote sees to have been as usual at spring elec- tions. MINNESOTA, ST. PAUL, Minn., April 6.—The municipal election at~West Superior, Wis., yesterday resulted in a victory ford, W. Scott (Repubii- can) and William Noonan (Democrat). The total vote cast waS 5,20; and Scott has a plu- rality of 225, with one ward to hear rrom and which cannot change the ‘esult.

THE BALD-KNOBBERS. Fear That the Band Will Reorganizs and Again Terrorizs Taney County. OZARK, Mo., April 6.—Ifthe expected hap- pens in Taney County the Bald Knobbers will reorganize and come over the hills and ad- journ the investigation now going on at For- sythe intothelynching of MurdererBright and the killing of Deputy Sheriff Williams a few weeks ago. Thata mob will appear and take the men who are now under suspicion out of the jurisdiction — of the court, is almost certuin if they are held for the crime of Killing Williams. The inves- tigation proceeds slowly. The evidence against Lawyer Taylor is pretty strong and the indication to-dayisthathe will be heid for trial. , A strange story which may have some con- nection with the doings of the Taney County mob reached here. At the Lewis place, six miles northwest of Walnut Shade, on the farm of Charles Lewis, a new grave has ap- peared in the orchard, and his. son,’ Frank is said to be buried ‘ The cause of the young man’s death is not Known, nor was the fact of his death known until the grave was seen. Neighbors proposed to exhume the body and find out the cause of death. The father, Chas. Lewis, refused to allow it to be done, and threatened to shoot any man coming on his premises forthe purpose. So the matter stands. Some have asserted that Frank Lewis was one of the mob who hung Bribt at Forsvthe, and that he was accidentally shot and has since died of his wounds. LABOR NEWS, Carpenters Will Demand Eight Hours on May 2. 4 MILLVILLA, N. J., April 6.—P. J. McGuire, General Secretary ofthe United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, this morning stated that on the 2d of Maya demand for an eight-hour day would be made by carpenters in six cities, viz.: Ba‘ti- more, Cincinnati, Denver, Salt Lake, De- catur, Ill,, and Toronto, Ontario. The prospects ofthe men winning in these cities he considers very good. Mr. McGuire: does not f or lock-out cit- les as demand, He says the building trade throughout the country has been in an unsettled con- dition for two years past and a great deal of capital diverteu from that channel on aecount of strikes, etc., but the Executive Board this year will discount against strikes as much as possible and seek redress through arbitration.

C., April 6.—Senator Wol- cott of Colorado made one of his brillfant speeches which entitles him to the position that Ingal!s once held in the Senate. It was by far the most attractive speech delivered in the sleepy Senate since Ingalls was heard. Of course the silver question was his topic, and as usual he started in by Jlash- ing the administration. He reierred to the President as that ‘*magnetic statesman’’, At conclusion the ‘‘boy Senator’’ recetved an ovation, not uncommon in the House, but unusualin the Senate. The chamber was crowded, but nearly every one went over and congratulated the young Senator. Senator Brice was about the most enthusiastic In his congratulations, MR. PRESIDENT—We may as well face the truth on the silver question, The bill for free coinage has been put to sieep in another body audi will not be again resuscitated. Nobody had expected the bill to become a law under this administration, forthe pres- ent chief executive, in his public utterances iast summer, foreshadowed his veto in “unmistakable terms,and those in his councils have openly pro- claimed its assurances were made while the stock market was depressed. The bull operators wore abie to use them fora slight advance and therefore some temporary result wasattaiiod but another English banking house was reported in trouble avout Argen- tine securtiies and the market,in the classic language ef the street, eee axuain. This was the oniy result of the intimation made by the President of the United States, while Congress was notin session, of what he would do if a measure, which could not then be peuding, should be passed by both houses of Cun- gress. The game was hardly worth the candie, as ihe market of Wall street showed, It was evident, I sgy, thet free coinage could not hecome a jaw at this session. We exercise. the privilege we enjoy of debating ene nuéstion, that the country may undersfand the situation. bub we all know that whon we are through, a vote is ho nearer and the bill is Rob advanced. This. therefore. is a preper the, baving practically suffered defeat, to gather up our Wounded ahd dead, determine where the deserters are niding, fortify our intrenchments for the next cucounter and atop, if possible, that destructive rear firing, whieh not only’ daim- aged but surprised us. At the last session, the Democratic party, with few #xceptions, stood nobly and mapfully for the old party traditions, hard noney, gold and silver. The sudden change would its effects webe not tragic. One a mee of Democracy annohnees that tariff reform s the slogan; another insists that being a Democrat is the test and watchword. The South and Wost want free coinage, but these leaders think they must carry New York and acouple Oflittie States adjvin- ing. These States are lenders And not borrowers, aud want less than more money. ‘The friends of the tariff reiormers have, in the North, at least, the courage of their convictions, and demand the putting aside of the silver question. The adherents of the other Moses who fs to lead his peopic ontof bondage want to gratify the popular demaud, but are fearful of their Eastern following, and so they let **I «are not’’ waitupon **I would,’’ and. thesiiver bills shuffled aside. And meanwhile, the beil-wethers of that party, who coyly look about and wait for a voice they hope to hear, tike Br’er Kabbit, ‘*Keep on layin’ low and sayin’ nuttin.’’ Among all these shoals and breakers our bark is driven. Tothe Eastern ear each side yxiyes assur- ance of undying hostility ta the **7U-cent doilar,’’ as they designate it, and tell how the ‘*Silver Baron’’—whoever he may be—has been beaten and bated; while the Westis assured that political ne- cessity required the postponeiment of the measure. In this parceling out of the country the south counts for nothing. She is to be Democratic any- how. The heroic efforts she has miade_ for nearly a generatios, and which have brought her almost to the haven of prosperity, are to be _ sacrificed that the party may carry New York, Because of the contraction of the currency, and the competition with India, which the degredation of silver makes possible, cotton is lowerin price than eyer before and almost adrug in the market; her plantations aré inortgaged. her railroads so impoverished, that ote reorganization is not complete until another is necessary, her in- dustries are paralyzed, but she must subinit because the New York Démocracy demand it. She has for acentury furnished the brains of the Democratic party. No section, ahd no nation ever produced such able and a:lroit political leaders. They have never known tinal defeat and trom apparent disaster, they have again plucked victory, And yet because the halanuce of the t}emocrati¢e powor lies in the north, they are called on to abandon the interests of their section to those of the party. The threat ef negro supremacy is still potent. ‘ihe Force bill isas dead as Julius Cresar, but its ghost still naunts the south, and every material interest of that great section is sacrificed thata President, whose election is to be aécom- plished by ballots marked Demnpcratic, may exercise the appointing and veto power for idur years. The dominant wing of the Republican party claim the fruits of this substantial victory because this support ata critical moment brought defeat, while the Eastern section of the Democracy insiat that their superlative efforts brought about the desired results. One gifted young man, the efllorescent and bright particular star of mugwuispery, a product of Massachusetts, & gentleman who seems from his ex- alted pedestal to only reach down to the Democratic party that he may throw over it the halv and sanction of Harvard University, has admitted in a recent in- terview ina Boston paperthat he and the Deme- cratic party did it all, It makes but little difference, Mr. President, who has strangled silver coinage: It has been appérently effectually garroted and apt party, as to his meas- ure, has become what Disraeli onee chargéd the Tory arty with having beconiet. **“an organized iypocrisy.’’ But before long, tinless the signs all fail, each side will be anxious enough to unload the responsibility upon the other, for some day thé peo- ple will have an inning. The tacties of the opponents of free coinage have been somewhat extraordinary, and, so far as I have been able to observe, have largely consisted of appeals fromons man who h money to another man who had money, to prevent the third man who nad no money from getting any. Weare charged also with being the turbers of the financial peace of the country, For several years past there has never been any sort of tinancia’ ases- ter or stringency thatit has not been attributed to silver. The wiseacres, whose forecasts have always been erroneous, are careful not te attribute trouble to past legislation. for they concede. that the silver act of 1878 has been of reat e- fs the country.

POLITICAE {DRIFT. MINISTER REID INTERVIEWED—BAYARD TO NOM- INATE CLEVELAND. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 6.—In an inter- view upon general politics Minister White- law Reid was asked: ' ‘‘Will Mr. Harrison be renominated?’’ ‘*T can see no reason, if he wants it, why he should not be renominated. His adminis- tration bas been a clean one and acceptable to the people, and with Mr. Blaine out of the way I think there will be but | little opposition. Mr. Blaine is not acandidate, I believe every word he said in his letter. He meant what he said. Mr. s told me on morethan one occa- sion that there had never been but time that he really wanted to be President. That was n 1876. Afterward, tn discussing the matter with me he said he had seen more of the life of a President; had seen one President whom he loved shot down by his side, and was im- pressed with the ideathat the Presidency Was not all that it might seem tothe un- initiated.’’ **How do you find Mr. Blaine?’’ ‘*Well, he is 2 years older since I saw him last, butI find him the same bright, con- genial companion that he always was. He ts even more companionable than ever. His intellect is an keen as ever.’’ WILL NAME CLEVELAND. WILMINGTON, Del,, April 6.—A close per- sonal friend of Mr. Bayard stated to the cor- respondent that the ex-Secretary of State will make a speech putting Cleve'and in nomination and will work early and late for the success of his candidate. Mr. Bayard De- lieves Cleveland will not only receive the nomination, but will be elected, in which event he expects to be appointed to the Court of St. James. PROPOSED STATE MILITIA ENCAMPMENT What the Local Officers Think About the Chances of Holding It Here, The milita officers here are waiting to hear the discision of the Adjutant- General on the subject of a State encampment this year. It was decided some time aco that in October an es- cort of 500 Missouri milita men would go to the World’s Fair celebration with Gov. Francis. Reducing the number to only 500 from the entire State would leave out about 1,500 men, while on the other hand the 500 who would be selected for Chicago could not get an additional vacation for a summer encampment, Col. C. D. Comfort ofthe local militia was seen to-day and asked ifanything was being done to get the State encampment to come here. He said: ‘*No, there is not. Wedon’t'want it here and it would not be encouraged. The smanHer towns would rais® more money and are more anxioustohave it. In any event the en- campmest is not yet decided upon as Gov. Francis Is to take 500 mento Chicago in October, and for that reason the rest may de- cide not to gointocamp in June. I do not think St. Louls is a good place for it, anyhow. It will be a camp of instruction if anything, and we want:a small stream for pontoon. exercises and a rifle range, so tnat the city would not suit. So far hothiitg has been done toward getting the encampment here. The citizens have deserted the militia and the boys have tobhustle harc enough to keep the companies going,’’ Maj. Baltdorf was seen onthe same sub- ject and said: ‘‘I think the prospect of a State encampment very slight. All the boys want to go to Chicago with the Governor in the fall. Asto having the en- campment here ittis generally conceded that it is our turn, but we get no encouraga- ment. The Citizens’ Committee, you know, is dead and we could get a great deal more money from halfa dozen of the smaller towns than wecan from St. Loutls. I am not very heartily in favor of having it here.’’ , There is some doubt among the militia men here as to what they will do this year. But as to next year, they hopeto go to Chicagn to the big inilitary gathering when the Fair opens in earnest. MORMONS IN COUNCIL. Important Coference of Latter Day Saints at Independenes, Mo. INDEPENDENCE, Mo., April 6.—The fortieth annual conference of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints convened this morning at Independence. Dele- gates from various foreign and domestic missions of he church to the number of 1,000 are present. Joseph smith, the Prophet and President of the church is present and will preside over the conference which is looked forward to by this branch of the Mormon Church as one of the most important in its histo®y. Revelations from the prophet Joseph are expected and the va- cancy ie the quorum of twelve will be filled. Permanent organization was effected by the election of the President as presiding officer. Committees on Credentials were appointed and other routine work was considered. Thé first day’s session of the conference will be de- voted to routine church matters and the re- ception of reports from Foreign Mission Boards. President Joseph Smith made the opening address, giving a bright outlook to the Josephine branch of the great Mormon Church. R. E. Evans of Ontario, Canada, also made an address, in which referatce was made asto the work of the reorgauized church among the refractory brethren of Utah in reclaiming them back to the primi- tive church. The conference will last ten days. FIRES. ‘st. Paul White Lead and O!jl Works Burned. St. Paut, Minn., April 6.—At 10:30 o’clock this morning an explosion occurred in the basement of the 8t. Paul White Lead & Oll Co.’s building, located on the levee in West St..Paul. The building was soon in flames, and in an hour was atotal loss,the walis having fallen in. The stock was valued at “$60,000, machinery at $15,000 and buildingat $30,000. The insurance on the whole was only $40 000. » The fire broke out at 10:30 o’clock and the entire Fire Depa : inand the building was a total wreck. from s ding beyond ing the white lead works, 4 FOUND A CORPSE. ‘The Disappearance of Rev.

Anarchist Prosecutions in Paris Failing for Want of Evidence—Native Effcrts to Revive African Slave Trade-—Do- minion Affairs—General Foreign News —Brieft Cable Notes. Paris, April 6.—Notwithstanding the extra precaution to prevent any further repetitions of dynamite explosions, the anarchists do not find much trouble in pursuing their ne- fariaus work whenever they are so disposed. The latest scene of their activity is Angers, capital of the Department of Maine-et-Loire. The city is the seat of numerous’ industries, and as a consequence the anarchists there’ find many supporters among the working Classes. The police of Angers, as elsewhere in France, have been instructed to search out and arrest every one who is believed to be implicated. in any attempt to use dynamite unlawfully, and they have carried out their orders to the letter. But in searching the city and watching suspicious characters, they appear to have neglected proger precautions to guard against an explosion at their own head- quarters. The Anarchists learned of this fact and determined totake advantage of.Jt. Accordingly last night, orat an early hour this morning, a dynamite bomb was quietly placed upon a window sillofthe Police De- partment, the fuse lighted, and the Anarch- ists withdrew. Everything was quiet inthe police barrack and the vicinity, when sud- denly there wasa flash and a tremendous re- port that caused momentary consternation in the neighborhood. Every pane of giassin the windows of the police barrack andthe adjacent houses was shattered, and the bar- rack itself was quite badly damaged. One policeman in the building was injured. There is absolutely no clue to the perpetrators of the outrage. Paris bas not yet ceased to discuss the an- archist question, which showsto what ex- tent interest has been excited on the subject. Some comment has been made upon the re- lease yesterday of Matheau, who was ar- rested on the charge of beingan accomplice of Ravachol. The police sought in every way to secure evidence connecting him with one or alloftre explosions of which Ravachol bas confessed thathe was author, but their investigations only went to prove that he was not implicatedin any way with these out- rages. He wasaccordingly discharged from custody. Theevidence thus far obtained by the authorities fails to connect Lebastard and Chaumartin, whoare also in custody on suspicion of complicity inthe outrages, and it is expected that they, too, will shortly be released. MAN HUNTING. CAUSES OF THE DAHUMAN WAR UPON THE FRENCH. agen Paris, April 6.—The Solcil to-day says it has private advices from Porto Novo,which show that the situation arising from the warlike attitude of King Behbanzen of Dahomey is far more serious than the official dispatches state. The Dahomans have always been noted for their man-hunting expeditions,and ‘this is the season of the year when these ex- peditions start from <Abomey and other places in Dahomey. The object of these expeditions is to procure victims for the slaughters termed ‘‘Customs’’ by the n@q- tives, at which hundreds of captives are sac- rificed to propitiate the fetish gods, and also to procure slaves, from the sale of which King Behanzen derives much of his revenue. It has been charged that the com- pany building the Congo Rallroad ts one of the best customers the King has for these. victims of his raids, who, in order to escape the French and English authorities, who are active in suppressing the slave trade, are euphoniously termed ‘‘laborers.’’ ‘ihese **laborers,’’ itis said, are nominally set free by King Behanzen, but in reality they are nething less than slaves. Some time ago it was charged that the German factories es- tablishec at Whydah, the port of Dahomey, acted as intermediaries betweenthe Kingand the Belgian Government fora supply of ‘‘la- borers,’’ and it was said that the sum of 400,- vco German marks had been received there in order to continue the traffic. The Soleil to-day says that the object of the King in warring upon the French is toso weaken thelr influence at the coast towns that he’ will be able to open fresh slave routes, Whydah is defended against any at- tack the French may make upon it by war- riors, @ll of whom are armed with the mauser rifles, and Frenchmen do not hesitate to say that the only way these rifies could have been secured wasjthrough the Ger- mans, as itis essentially a German weapon. In order to cope with the well armed and un- questionably brave soldiers of King Behan- zen itis imparetively necessary that strong reinforcements be at once sent tothe French solalers in the Bright of Benin settlements. An official dispatch received here to-day States that 6,000 Dahomans are within four hours march of Porto Novo, and are only awaiting reinforcements to make an attack upon that place.

' _— _— 2 WINGS AND TIGHTS. Emil F. Seidel Describes His Wife’s Cos- | tume as Mercury. HE DID NOT ACCOMPANY HER TO THE MASQUERADE BALL. \ The Cabinet-Maker Takes the Stand to Rebut His Wife’s Testimony in His Suit for Divorce—George Smith Takes the Stand ih the Contested Smith Will Case—Court Notes. Emil F. Seldel, the well-known cabinet maker, whois plaintiff in the divorce case which has been on trial before Judge Fisher for the past two days, was placed on the stand this morning in rebuttal of Mrs. Seidel’s testimony. William F. Smith, his attorney, asked: ‘*‘Did you go to the Liederkranz masquerade ball with your wife dressed as Mercury?’’ **No, sir.”’ ‘*How was your wife dressed on that oc- casion?’’ **] do not know the proper names for fe- male costumes. You can see Mercury in any picture-book.’’ **Well, did she wear a skirt?’’ ‘*She wore tights, with wings on her shoulders, and a sash about nine inches wide about the waist. Ifthe other witnesses were asked about the costume per- haps they’’—but Judge Fisher interrupted the witness. Seidel also denied that he ~ went tothe Liederkranz masque ball when his wife was dressed as a Highlander. He maintained that he did not strike her, as she alleged, but that she _ struck herself bytolliding- with the mantel or the poker. It was onthe occasion that he con- fronted her with a$i80' dry goods Dill. In cross-examination he said that she showed fear on + that occasinn for the first time. He ascribed her fearto a guilty conscience. He denied that her hairturned gray at the birth of their son Robert. ‘‘She was gray before she was 20 years old,’’ he said, ‘fand people pointed at us on the street, and commented on the evi- Gent difference in our ages on account of her gray hair.’’ On _ cross-examina- tion Seidel testified that he never went to a masque Dall with his wife. He acknowledged that he forbade her to use the family surrey a month before the suit was instituted, but be believed this to be right and proper. Evidence was also introduced this morning, showing the financial standing of Mr. Seidel, showing that he was reported to be worth from $15,000 to $40,000. The deposition of Marcella Boland of 1716 North Twenty-third street, a former sSer- Vant of the Seidels, was read. The deposition stated that Mrs. Seidel used to cry and fret a gooa deal, aud tell deponent of things which Mr. Seidel had done to her. Deponent would not be allowed to state what the things were. Deponent had: heard loud noises in Mr. and Mrs. Seidel’s room. and after Mr. _ Seidel would leave Mrs. Seidel would come out crying and tell deponent what Mr. Seidel had done. Mrs. Seidel never went outto enter- tainments, deponent stated, or attendeda dancing school. It wasseventeen years since deponent lived with the Seidels. Mr. Seidel complain about the house- bills deponent averred. That to make Mrs, Seidel cry. Seidel used to takespells, deponent stated, and for weeks. would not speak to his wife, and Mrs. Seidel used to coax him out of the spells. Deponent understood the deposition set forth that people on the outside use to tell Seidel things about his family. The other testimony this morning consisted of the evidence of neighbors of the Seidels, who all stated that Mrs. Seidel was one of the best neighbors they ever had. The evidence closed with Seidel’s testi- mony, and Judge Fisher took the case under advisement. George Smith Testifies. George Smith, the defendant in the Smith will contest suit on trial in Judge Valliant’s Court, took the witness stand to-day and tes- tified in htsown behalf. He stated that he was 59 years old last February. He was brought here from New York when he was 5 years old by a Mr. Robinson, who took him to Mr. James Smith’s store, and Mr. Smith took him home. This was the first time he saw Mrs. Persis Smith whose will is heing contested. The witness stated his father died a year or two before he was brought here. He did not know when his mother died. He came here in 1838. His position in the Smith household, as stated, was that of son. Mr. and Mrs. Smith called him George. He then gave an account of his education and the _ schools he attended. The rudiments of his education, he sfated, were taught him by Mrs. Smith. He finishéd his education at Harvard. The defense then read several let- ters writtento him by Mrs. Smith while he Was away. Contested Divorce Suit. The contested divorce case of Lillie Dryer against Henry Dryer was begun in Judge Dillon’s court to-day. The parties were married Dec. 10, 1885, and lived together until June, 1890. She charges drunkenness and failure to support. Since the divorce suit was filed Dryer, who is a butcher, began aie suit (for damages against his father-in-law whose name is Moelleron acharge of alien- lating his wife’s affection, but the case was Gismissed. Mrs. Dryer testified that her husband used to get drunk two or three times a week. Hugo Muench is Mrs. Dryer’s at- torney and P. W. Fauntleroy is defending the case. New Suits Filed. Jennie Sheppard,in her suit for divorce filed to-day, states that when her husband, Barack Sheppard, would draw his payas a carriage blacksmith he would get drunk and remain away from home for days. He failed to provide for her and their children, she alleges. They were married Aug. 29, 1880,and lived together until Sept. 20,1887. Nicholas Hoffmeiester begana suit to-day against William J. Lemp for $10,000 damages beeause ofa broken leg and other injuries, which he alleges were caused by a freezing machine at Lemp’s Western Brewery. Court Notes.

They were referred to a specia committee—J. C. Elliott, Elder McMurdo and W. H. Frazier. Twenty-four congregations, represented by fourteen ministers, were re- ported. Reports on the state of religion inthe bounds of the Presbytery were referred to the Com- manding Committee on the State of Religion. Two theological students presented them- selves before the Presbytery with a view to being licensed to preach. The committees examined them and recommended that they be allowed to address the Presbytery this afternoon to test their ability. Applications for aid were received from churches at Pleasant Ridge, Mo., Mhoon Val- ley, Miss., Pulaski, Mo., First Arkansas, Dewitt, Ark., Xenia Prairie, Ill., Dunbar, Mo., Ouba, Mo., and Lebanon, Mo. Some of these appeals were of Macedonian urgency. They were reierred to the Committee on Sup- plies, who reported in favor of granting them all, with certain stipulations as to amount to be appropriated by the board, and raised by the people. Without concluding the consid- eration of the report the Presbytery ad- journed for dinner. Last evening’ssession was opened witha sermon by the retiring Moderator, the Rev. N. A. Whitehill of Sparta. A conference on **Sabbath Observance’’ followed, the Rev. J. C. Elliott of Swanwick, Ill, opening the discussion.

Iienry M. Newman of the ex-Confederate Association was in the city to-day on his way toare-unionin New Orleans. Mr. Newman said: ‘*‘Yes, we are going down there to let of a rebel yell or two and con. gratulate each other. By the way that reminds me, to-day is the anniversary of the battle of Shiloh’’—after a little persuasion — withheld his Shiloh story and Said: ‘*You remember we were trying to raise $10 in each school district of the State for the ex-Confederate home at Higginsville; well one district has been heard from and the first one in sends $68. Itisout here in St. Louis County. Now, if weare treated that well everywhere we will bave no cause to complain.’’ An appeal for the Confederate Home was read in every school district yesterday anda donation of at least $10 asked for.

Stevenson and Commodore Smith Address the Gathering—Opening of De Givervills Avenue—Plans for Adjournment of the Council—Mud in North St. Louis— Municipal Matters. frnree hundred street laborers and ninety carts were lined up aiong Market and Eleventh streets this morning to greet the Mayor when he came down to take hold of the reinsof government.* Their demonstra- tion of last Friday resulted in aukase from the Street Department ordering 1,000 labor- ers and 300 carts to be put to work on Monday. The storm postponed operations Monday. Yesterday, (however, the men were put to work, but called offafter an hour’s labor by an order from the Mayor, who had held an interview with the Comptroller and came to the conclusion that it would be better to make haste slowly in providing work for the uprempiloyed. The workmen were at.a loss to understand the cause of their disap- pointment and came down this morning determined to see who was to blame. After waiting until 110’clock for His Honor they concluded that acall on Comptroller Stevenson would beaclever prelude to their interview with the chief executive and they piled into the office of the former functionary armed with their implements of trade. The Comptroller had not arrived,ibut Deputy Joe Devoy stepped forward and told them to await the Comptroller’s ar- rival, as he would give them some very useful advice. Then old Commodore Lyndon smith, formerly Private Secretary to Mayor Ewing, stepped forward and ad- dressed the multitude. ‘‘I tell you what it is, boys,’’ hesaid. ‘‘The reason there is no money to oe, you is not because the Council has failed to provide for you, but be- cause the appropriation for street repairs is eaten up by a gang of political bosses who are hired to as overseers. Too many well paid overseers and not enough workmen is what is eating up the money and keeping you out of work.’’ ‘*You’re right, old man!’’ shouted the labor- ers as they pounded on the desks and shouted their applause. While awaiting the rival delegation file into the Mayor’s office. e’re going to see him this time,’’a voice in the crowd shouted, ‘‘if we have to stay here until 12 o’clock to night, andif he don’t come down we'll go to his house and drag him out. We’re starving and we must see him.’’ © John Burke, the Boiler “Inspector, was in the office, and, recognizing some faces from the Fourteenth Ward, he immediately inter- ested himself. Jim Brennan consented to come out and make a speech the work- men at Mr. Burke’s request. He said the Council was to blame for their non-employ- ment and promised the men that the Mayor would try and put them all to work. ‘‘We’llfind eut who is to bDiame for this and fix him at the next election,’’ shouted one workman as the crowd filed out f the office. pes the meanwhilethe Comptroller had ar- rived and wpe waited upon by a. dele- tion. es tel you how _ it s General,’’ said the spokesman, ‘«Wwe xnow there isno money for us during the month of April, but our landierds and are willing to give us credit if they now we are working forthecity. This is the first April we have ever been out of , ‘*It’s roa that’s keepin’ the bread out of our mouths wid your talk about finances!’’ shouted ean irrepressible striker. The Comp- troller looked daggers at his critic and then turning to the spokesman, said: ‘‘I woul be glad to all at work, but t not money enough to a thousand men, I will do all that those in immediate need are give ployment and paid for their work.’’ crowd filed out silently and after hanging | fi i Comptrolier’s ar- a he | around the building until noontime dis- persed. ; Gen, Stevenson, when asked abont the matter this morning, said: **My view of the ~ matter is that Mr. Murphy ts boring with too big an augur when he attempts to put 1,000 men and 300 Carts to work. Count tuat up and see what it comes to for one month. It is near! $30,000. From a finan- cial standpoint it is purely a Utopian scheme. Last year’s estimates gave the Street Cleaning Department $120,000—$10,000 a month. This plan would absorb a three- months’ appropriation in one month. Further than this the plan has no practical utility. If these people are starving and n immediate need, this work surely will not help them as they cannot get th® money for it until some time in May. Of course the situation is a dif- ficult one. Mr. Murphy hastwo elements of pressure bearing upon him. The cry of the eer must be heeded and the close of winter has left the streets in a bad condition. The only way I see to bridge over the difficuity ts to select such persons as stand in {mmediate need, a few hundred and about forty carts, put them to work and pay them out of the fund still remaining for salaries in the clerical department. ‘These young men can’ be carried over until the temporary appropriation bill is passed in May. Thisisthe only consistent solution I can see of the problem. **One ofthe hardest questions which con- fronts the administration is how to provide employment for its poor. A wrong system has grown up here within past years. The money spent in this a Nas been greater during the summer than the winter months. It ought to be exactly the other way. In the summer these people can find employment in the couatry, and in the winter let them come to town provided for. ILacknowledge the necessity that has grown up for looking after them, but I would like to se@ the matter carried out in the proper way.’’ The outcome of the conference between the Mayor and Commissioner Murphy will prob- ably be the adoption ofthe plan outlined by the Comptroller, the employment of a lesser number of men and carts, selecting only those in immediate need and paying them out ofthe money appropriated for clerical salaries. Cole’s Fight on Guibor. The fight made on the appointment of Capt. Guibor for Superintendent of the House of Refuge is. still on. Counciiman Cole introduced aée resolution at last night’s Council meeting, asking the City Counselori for an opinionon the legality of the Mayor’s appointing a Superintendent for the House Refu The con- tention is the State provision of April, 1873, creating the Board of Managers for the House of Refuge the appointment of superintendent and matron rested with that body. Mr. Marshall said this morning that under the new constitution, which went into effect Nov. 30 1875, a scheme and charteradopied by the major- ity of the freeholders of the city aud county should become the organic law of the City of St. Louls and supersede all previous charters. The charter adopted since the promulgation of the new State constitution gives the Mayor the power to appoint the superin- tendent of the House of Refuge. According to the City Counselor’s view of the matter, Capt. Guibor’s appointment will stick. Councliman Flesh, discussing yesterday the vote by which Guibor was confirmed, made the interesting admission that when the original combine was being formed an effort was made to ring in Schaeffer, together with Lindsay and Holman, ‘‘Itold them no,’’ he said. ‘‘Guibor had been friend tor forty-five years and I would go into no com- anyon that would exclude him from of- ce.” A member ofthe old combine said yester- day that Messrs. Walbridge and Horton would assist them in keeping the Council in session continuously. After the meeting on Friday, April 15, the body would adjourn un* til 10 o’clock on the evening the Is8th, and re- mainin session until after midnight. This would preclude the Mayor’s removing Lina- say and Holman and appointing any one in their stead, . Opening of De Giverville Avenue. The House of Delegates’ Committee on’ Public Improvements will meet next Friday at 10 o’clock to consider the making of a new De Giverville avenue in a tract owned by John VY.

The bona of Dr. Brennanas Health Commis- sioner with Messrs. Hugh L. Foxand Wm. Smith as securities was approved. Several bills from the Committee on Public Improve- ments were reported and passed. A bill authorizing the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Rallway to construct a switch con- necting with the Bannantine Galvanized Iron Works was passed. A Dill increasing the salaries of the sergeants-at-arms of the Council] and House to _ $100 an month and of the page of the House to $400 a year was passed. The Committee on Election and kegistration reported the redistricting bill, Messrs. Horton and Meier favoring the submission of the amendments and Mr. Anderson opposing. After a long wrangle the bill was passed without amendment by a strictiy party vote. The dramshop license bill was taken up, and Mr. Cole moved an amendment that owners be fined $10 a day for non-payment of license and perpetually disqualified. On motion of Mr. Sloan the motion was laid on the table. Mud on the North Side. Delegate Huber ofthe Twenty-sixth Ward called on the Street Commissioner this morn- ing and registered his kick about the muddy streets out in his ward. Broadway, which is the principal business thoroughfare in North St, Louls,was declared to be a sea of mud and utterty impassable. He didn’t want to biame anybody, not even Comp- troller Stevenson, but he wanted some measure of rellef for his constituents. A squad of men will sent down toclear tne road for the funerals that are now forced to utilize Broadway while Florissant avenue is being torn up for street car tracks. Dr. Brennan Takes Charges.

San DrIeGco, March 8.—If the reports are true which are brought here by the me pros- pectors just returned from the Colorado des- ert and New River basin country, the recent earthquake shocks which so much alarmed the people of this region can be accounted for. Ithas allthe time been believed that the severest shocks were experienced in the couutry southeast from this city, and the re- ports which have comein almost daily from the mountains confirm this supposition. The prospectors who came in to-day tell a weird tale of a biazing volcano, clouds of mist and ashes seen far off to the south, pre- sumably in the mysterious Cocopah country. bt 8 claim to have Deen camped on the edge of the desert, Just beyond the Laguna Moun- tains on a high plateau, from which they had a range of view east and south of seventy- five miles.

Lorpown, March 23.—The well-dressed man of London continues toset the fashion for the male sex the world over. L Until last fall there had not been for many years any decided change in the styles of gentlemen’s garments. Then the sudden elongation of skirts created havoc with the wardrobes of correct dressers and made bus!- ness brisk for the merchant tallors, For the coming season fashion has changed the styles that prevailed last season but slightly, ex- ceptin the matter of coat skirts. Thestraight- ening of the collar crease of the vest has been completed and shows no sign of iits former curves. Trousersare about as they were. A summary of the special features as adopted by the leading tallors is as follows: Shoulders are moderately wide and have the seams cut low. Edges are gon- erally stitched, though cord is still quite popular for day or evening dress. Binding is seldom used and is always put on narrow. Double breasted frock coats are from one to four inches longer than at the commence- ment of last season, Thetendency is still to greater length in cutaway frocks and sack coats, and are a trifle longer than heretofore. Overcoats are generally shapely except the coverts, which are cut half-box. They roll lower and are from one to four inches longer than they were last’spring. Except for even- ing dressthe curved creases for vests is no longer correct. Trousers incline toward the **neg-top’’ style, and are still cut loose at the knee and are rather smul!ll at the bottom. By all odds the most fashionable garment for men’s wear that will be seen this season is the long double-breasted frock, familiarly known as the “‘long tailed’’ coat, on account of its extreme length. Only good dressers will wear it, however, asitlooks rather out- landish when worn away from fashionable surroundings. Its extreme length is 44 inches, but a length of from 39 to 42 inches is prefer. able. It may be worn without an overcoat, and for afternoon public entertainments is the correct thing. The extreme increase ‘sanctioned by fash- fon in the length of double-breasted frocks is by no means imperative, but no coat of this description thatis as short as those of the corresponding season last year will be con- sidered as correct. Except in browns and grays and fancy weaves of worsteds, cheviots and aundressed worsteds the extreme length will be but little worn, but no matter what may be the color or kind of material used, all double-breasted frocks will be an inch or more longer than they were at the com- mencement of last season. The lapels are always well peaked and are from 2% to 24% inches wide atthe top. The fronts are in- tended to close with three buttons only, ex- cept for the shorter styles when they are sometimes made to close with four. In any case the role when the coat is wunbuttoned should be free and extend evenly to the bot- tom, if desired. For day dress the vest is usually made of a modest fancy vesting, though anumber of good dressers prefer to have it of the same material as the coat. The trousers are of a moderately light shade ofa not pronounced stripe of plaided material. When the coatis of any material of a fancy weave or brown, gray or mixed incolor, the trousers are always and the vest generally of the same material. The vest is generally single-breasted, though if made of a fancy Vesting itis quite correct to have it double- breasted. If the latter, it is 26 inches long, closes with three orfour buttons and has either a plain v-shaped rolling collaror one with a peaked lapel effect. Thetrousers are rather smaller in the leg than formerly. They are slightly sprung, are well hollowed over the instep and usually have the side seams finished with a narrow welt. Cutaway coats are still very popular for half dress and genteel business wear. The three- button cutaway, orthe four-button for men who are unusually tall, made from worsteds, chevicts, thibets and other goods suitable for day dress, almost divides the honors wih the double-breasted frock. The length isa trifie greater than last season, ranging from 3312 to #4 inches. It hasa roll of moderate width and is cut away from the lower button to the side ofthe leg from about five inches above the waistseam. For general business purposes itiscut from one to two inches shorterand has flapsonthe waistseam., Theedges are double stitched, the sleeves are finished with a vent and one button and is made of fancy worsteds or cheyiots and of tweed or cassi- mere suitings. For half-dressand business purposes the one-button cutaway will also be considerably worn, Itshould be 32% in lengtn for half- dress, but notmorethan 382 inches for busi- ness wear. Itis made softso as to roll free when the front is unbuttonedin either case, but the side flaps are only correct when worn for business purposes. lor day wear or half- dress the vest and trousers are the same as those worn with the double-breasted’ frock, but the trousers are longer for business pur- oses, the average proportions being from 20 O 20¥e inches at the knee, and from 172 to 18 inches at the bottom. SACK COATS. Many peaple are partial to the sack coat, and the style this season is shapely and desir- able. All sacks are longerthan last season and show an increased lengthof roll. They are not close-fitting ana have the side seams moderately curved. The double breasted coats made of plaided, striped and mixed cheviots and other similar suitings, will be much worn during thespringmonths. Fora man of average height the length will be 31 inches. The lapels are moderately peaked, the fronts are evenly spaced for five holes, the roll extending to the third. All the pockets have flaps to go either in or out. The edges are double stitched and the sleeves are finished with a vent and one button. The straight front single-breasted sack, either with all the pockets patched on or with flaps for the lower pockets anda welt for the breast pocket, will be much worn. It will be made with all sorts of suitings in plaids, checks,stripes and mixtures and will average thirty inches in length. The edges will be double stitched when the pockets are patched on, but when they are not willusually be single stitched close. The three-button cutaway sack will be of the same length, and, besides being made of cheviots, cassimeres, tweeds and home- spuns,as in the single-breasted sack, wil aiso be made of whipccrds. When of the latter material the edges will be double stitched on the seams, lapped and stitched to match. The fronts are cut away rather abruptly from the lower button, which its opposite the ticket pocket. All the pockets have flaps and the sleeves are finished witha vent and one button, Stout and corpulent men and some others will wearthe one-but- ton cutaway sack. About 30 inches is the cor- rect length for this style of garment. It roils six inches and is cut away to show three inches of the vest.» The breast pocket Is tur- pnished with a vent, butthe lower pockets have flaps. The open or low roll sack will be very popu- lar during the warmerimonths. Itis of the same length as the other single-breasters,and is almost as fullinthe front as the straight front sack. Thefrontiseven spaced for five holes and buttons, and the roll should ex- tend to the second when not buttoned. The finish should be soft, sothatit may be worn with one button closed, if desired. The fronts, below the lower hole and button, are ‘boldly rounded tothe button. The breast pocket is usually tinished with a welt, but it may have, a; the lower pockets, flaps to go inorout. The edges are double stitched, and the sleeves are finished with a vent closed with one button. For a sack suit the vest is single-breasted, has a notched collar with a crease, opens fromléto 15 inches and is 24% inches long. Thetrousers are slightly sprung and have the side seams welted. hey range from 20 to 21 inches in width at the knee and from 17'4 to 18 inches at the bot- tom. 4 A handsome garment and one that is eatly admired for day and half dress dur- ng the summer is the straight front single- breasted frock coat. It is made of the same materials, finished inthe same manner and may be used on the same occasions as the double-breasted frock. It hus five button- holes and buttons evenly spaced and either closes with four or rolls free when the fronts are thrown open. Yor evening dress, except tliat both peaked lapels and the shawl roll coat are made longer they are the same as last year. ‘ihe average lengths are from 88 to 40 inches tothe bottom of the skirt. The Cowes or Tuxedo sack coat will be worn at ‘‘stag’’ dinner and theater parties and atthe club. They will be made of fine worsteds. Cheviots will also be used the akin ig coe regulation evening dress suit, coat ecg will have a velvet collar. Other materials the Chesterfield, or fiy-front ¢ / overcoat, made from cheviots, worsteds and will be the favorite over- garment. The length ges from 389 to 42 nches. Itis shapely in the dack and is far from being close fitting. A new and desirable effect is obtained by spa ng the two upper holes seven inches apart. This gives the roll when the fronts are closed] an unusual length and is suggestive of the approach of summer. The shawl-roll Chesterfie silk -faced to the edge,is a dressy garment and will be con- siderably worn, with the|Covert coat ,averag- ing 85 inches in length, de of covert t- ing, 1s a decidedly swell and useful mt, For evening wear the Inverness will be as popular as ever, | NEW FABRICS. There will be few novelties in fabrics this season, the manufacturefs’ ingenuity seem- ingly having been exhausted in that. direc- tion. As between hard and soft cloths a compromise by good dressers will be made by selecting what are known as half, vicunas and unsheared worsteds, The colorings are divided between tans and grays, with the preference in favor of the latter. As a nov- elty the pure silver gray is destined to become conspicuous | as spring ap- proaches and will divide the honors with what is known 4as London gray. The patterns, though inclining to greater brightness, are by no means glaring. The tendency is toinvisible plaids and checks. In Scotch goods many attractive patterns are shown of large but subdued effects, barely showing the lines of plaids or checks. Hand-~ made home-spuns willalso be popular, but are exceedingly high priced. Clay diagonals of fine wool willalso be much worn. Fine worsted running to wide herring-bone wale stripes in grays and brown grays, finely lined with a darker contrasting color, will the choice for fine trouserings. NECK WEAR. In the matter of neckwear there is an end- less variety to choose from—bright yellow, ae red, dark maroon, white, ae and other flashy colors are displayed in the shop windows. The best dressed men, how- ever, donot goto extremes in either direc- tion. Thehigh standing collar with turned over edges remains popular. Not one man in a thousand here wears aturn over collar. The ties that go round these coilars are made in such a way that they canbe bunched together affectively and pinned with a small scarf-pin. Made up ties are but little worn. Fancy shirtings are very popular. They are wornin all imaginable shades, but no well dressed man would wear other thana white collar, although hiscuffs must be ofthe color of his shirt for street or negligee wear. Jewelry is but little worn now. The day of heavy gold watch chains and massive scarf- pins isover. Only the tiniest pins are worn with scarfs, and for evening dress three tiny studs. These may be of gold, silver or diamonds, as the wearer’s fancy and pocket- book will allow. Link sleeve buttons have entirely superseded the old-fashioned cuff button, and in place of the heavy watch chain there is worn a small, thin chain that extends from one lower vest eerie to the other with- out being put even through the buttonhole of the vest. In finger rings, however, fashion- able Londen men seem to exercise a wide va- riety of opinion. One may wear half a dozen a can rings, or none atali, and still be in the swim. In head gear and foot wear there is no noticeable change. Silk hats are worn under any and all occasions, no matter whether the sun be shining or the rain falling. Oc- casionally a derby is seen, but when worn b men of fashion it is usually of black, roun topped, with a wide curling brim, Patent leather or varnished shoes are worn at all times. It is noticeable that they are made rounded at the toe, and with sole now than heretofore. A few well- dressed men continue to wear spatts or over- gaiters, and again the color varies according to the wearer’s choice. HIGH WATER. The Cotton Compress Basement May Be Inundated—Fears of a Flood. The officials ofthe St. Louis Cotton Com- press, at the foot of Rutger street, became uneasy to-day at the unusual rise in the river. The gauge registered 25.1 feet this morning. The Compress cannot stand over 21 feet without the basement being inundated and in that event a large amount of cotton would be soaked. Ata late hour this afternoon the manager of the Cotton Com- press stated thatthey had notasyet taken steps to remove the cotton. The river bas not been so high in two years, the rise shows no abatement. from Hermann, Mo., announces the Missouri River is 16.2 feet above low water mark. Sixteen feet is the danger line, beyond which the Missouri bot- toms are in peril of a flood, and an inun- dation at that point is feared. THE M., K. & T.

CLEVELAND, O., April 6.—The body of 6. year-old Edna Callahan, who has been missing since last Thursday, was found on the beach this morn- ing. Her dis@ppearance was a mystery. It was believed that she had been kidnapped, and a tramp named McAllister is now under arrest on suspicion. The findingofthe body leads to the belief that death was dus to ac- cidental drowning.

One of the judges of the Superior Court is quite a wit. Doubtless more than one of these distin- guished gentiemen are witty as well as wise, but there is one judge in particular to whom the name of ‘‘wit’’ attaches closer than ever did counsel to rich ciient. When this same judge was a hard-working barrister some years ago he was engaged as counse] fora fellow whose name was identi- fled with much, if not all, that was bad in the neighborhood. On the, occasion referred to this individual was an trial for a violation of the ‘‘no li- cense’’ laws of the town. Specifically he was charged with having sold to divers known and unknown persons whisky from a bottle which he carried ‘‘in his inside pocket. ’’ The evidence seemed conclusive. But the lawyer, loyal to the interests of his cHent and determined to save himif possible, in spite of his villanous rum-soaked countenance,made a final appeal to the jury. The appeal was not for mercy. justice. It was as iollows: **Gentlemen ofthe jury, you have heard the evidence in the case against my clifent. I will not characterize it as perjure evidence. I only ask you, gentlemen of the jury, to look upon my client’s face, and say under your oaths and upon your consciences whether you can believe that ifa man with that face had a pint of whisky he could be induced to sell it for any price.’’ It was for Cooper’s Case Again Continued. The case of R. M. E. Cooper, charged in the Court of Criminal Correction with selling im- moral publications, was again continued for the defense, to-day, this time to April 13. , FLOUR FOR CUBA, A Movement of Great Importance to St. Louis. This morning A. C. Ricker of Havana ar- rivedinthis city, and is at the Southern. The object of his visit is to make arrange- ments for sending flour from St. Louis to Cuba. ‘‘Our facilities for obtaining flour from this port,’’ said Mr. Ricker, ‘‘will soon be greater than they ever have been befcre. Aline of steamers from New Orieans: will soon be put on, and there is a prospect that a Spanish line will also be added. ‘The re- duction in the import duty on flour has utterly changed our market. Instead of get. ting our supplies trom Spain we will in future draw them from the United state, and principally irom St. Louts. Dur. ing December quite a large amount of hard wheat flour was brought from Minneap- olis. Although but a short time has elapsed the truth of the old saying that hard wheat flour will not keep in*the West Indies, has bees proved. The flour is already begin. ning | spoil, as I know from personal experie¢ice, and we must turn our attention to St. Louis. The soft wheat flour produced here will keep, as bas often been proved, and we must find our market here. The demand from now on will be reater than it has heretofore been. e Cuban dealers had alarge amount of Spanish flour in store, which is now about exhausted. This neces- sitates a resort tothis market, where we can obtain what we wish. All are interested in the whaleback scheme, which if sune- cessfully carried out will keep our mills busy on American wheat, and thus 0pre- vent them from itfaliing into idle- .

The Rhode ; Cent | nts It ignores the treaty Island Democrats could not ask the rep- resentative of tyrannous bossism gone to seed in the Democratic party to help fight the Republican bossism which has con- trolled their State. FIVE newspapers in the United States published forty-page editions on last Sun- day and the SuNDAY Post-DisPaTcoH was one ofthem. Neither the Globe-Democrat nor the Republic was in the list. The SUNDAY Post-DIsPATOH printed a larger paper, more reading matter, more illus- trations, more exclusive news than its competitors. The Republic has really dropped out of the competition, falling behind the SUNDAY PosT-DISPATOH, as it did last Sunday, 8 pages in size, 30 columns in reading matter, 26 columns in paid advertising, 1,061 advertisements in the want columns and 672 square inches in the amount of il- lustrated matter. _ AWAY WITH THE SMOKE. ° The revival of the question of abating the smoke nuisance and the evidence that leading citizens are giving the matter earnest attention is especially gratifying to the Post-DiIsPATOH, as it has vigorously supported every movemént which promised to give the city relief from the pall of smoke and soot. The importance of the subject with ref- erence to the interests of St. Louis can scarcely be overestimated. It isa potent detrimental factor, how potent, perhaps, few St. Louisans -recognize. The smoke and soot we endure blackens not only the city but its reputation abroad. Visitors receive an unpleasant impression of the city because of them, and spread their opinions in vigorous language wherever they go. They necessarily enter largely into the consideration of the advantages of St. Louis as a place of residence and thus operate as a check upon the growth of population and business. Every good word for the city must be modified by an exception with respect to the atmosphere. In addition to these indirect effects, which are undoubtedly severe, there is enormous direct loss in the damage in- flicted upon spoilable stocks in the stores, clothes and household goods. The smoke and soot represent unconsumed fuel which is blown out of the chimneys instead of being converted into useful heat. It is unnecessary to speak of the discom- fort of the smoke-grimed atmosphere— that is unspeakable. It constitutes the single undesirable point in the environ- ments of the city. It isa matter of surprise that the people of St. Louis have consented to be bur- dened with such a nuisance for so longa time. It may be abated and no efiort should be spared to abate it. Citizens and their municipal representatives should combine to secure a permanent settlement of the matter. Now is the time to do it. , - WHOSE MACHINE? On Tuesday morning the Republic an- nounced that the meeting of the Demo- cratic City Central Committee would’ be the occasion of a great struggle between FRANCIS and NOONAN for the control of the committee; that if the Noonan faction succeeded primaries would be held under the State law for the State nominating conventions only, while delegates to the convention for appointing delegates to the National Convention would be chosen in the old-fashioned way, by committee manipulation, and would in all likelihood be Noonan men. ,On the other hand the Republic an- nounced that if the Francis men captured the committee, it would ‘‘adopt FILLEY’s plan’’and hold‘‘an omnibus primary with Recorder of Voters CARLISLE as deus ex machina.’’ And, according to the Repub- Itc ‘*with the skilled hand of Recorder of Voters CARLISLE to work the machinery of the law, it is believed that Francis delega- tions to all three conventions will be sim- ultaneously ground out of the hopper. ’’ On Wednesday morning the Republic announced that the committee, by a vote of 17 to 11, had done precisely what it was expected to do if captured by the Francis faction, and had done it with ‘‘the utmost harmony and ggod feeling.’’ Now, is the Republic’s diagnosis correct? Is the Noonan faction obliterated, and with it Col. Jonah’s hope of bossing the Missouri delegation to Chicago, and mak- ing the nominating speech for CLEVELAND? Is the Democratic primary machinery under the new State law to be worked ‘‘by the skilled hand of Recorder of Voters CARLISLE’’ so as to ‘‘grind out Francis delegations simultaneously to all three State conventions?’’ If this is really the situation, Col. Jonah will have to be spry in throwing NOONAN over and making his peace with the Gov- ernor or he will find that the bosses of ‘‘de push’’ have already secured the coveted delegateship for some more agile acrobat. —, ee —, THR faction fight between Boss PALACIO and Boss CRESPO in Venezuela is vigorously conducted with dynamite and dirk. CRESPO seems to have the best of it so far, although PALACIO, who represents the regulars, holds the capital. As soon as CRESPO seats himself he will quit being a kicker and a mugwump and become a sort of ‘‘Old Regularity’’ himself. He will play his part until his time comes, asit is sure to come to all bosses. The experience of Venezuela is but a repetition of that suf- fered by every other South American country. THe anti-Hill Democrats of Buffalo would have done wisely to have refrained from abusing Senator HILu in their reso- lutions indorsing the May convention. The friends of Mr, CLEVELAND can acoom- plish nothing -by angering Senator HILL and his friends. Some hope of harmony is necessary to secure the naming of any New York man at Chicago. Personal abuse of HILL, who, whatever his errors, has contributed eminent services to the party of his State, would detract from the effect of the protest against the actual wrong ‘of his ‘‘dnap’’ convention and would invite a counter charge of malice from the friends of the Senator. The Dem- ocrats of New York were never so much in need of calmness and reasonableness jn their counsels as now. Gov. ABBETT of New Jersey has vetoed the bill legalizing the Reading combina- tion and another victory for the rights and interests of the people must be credited in a large measure to the work ofa great newspaper. When the Reading deal was made the WORLD vigorously advocated the cause of the people and denounced it as an attempt to create a huge and oppressive monopoly in the necessaries of life. When the New Jersey Legislature was captured by the monopolists it called upon Gov. ABBETT to defeat the effort to legalize the combination by vetoing the bill. The Governor has responded nobly and has again proved himself a bulwark for the people of his State against the greedy ag- gression of the railroads. The Drayton-Borrowe Affair. From the New York WORLD. The important reflection upon the whole affair is that it reveals in a startling way the inroads of moral decadence among that class of Americans who, having inherited the millions more or less honestly made by their grandfathers in peddling, shopkeeping or other reputable employments, assume to be a privileged aristocracy in this free land of equal manhood. The ridiculous absurdity of their apish pretensions has been often enough satirized. The moral canker which their idle vanity has brought upon the social body is shown by every such incident as this. It.is a fact that the simple canons of ordinary morality are freely scoffed at and disregarded among those in this town who call them- selves ‘‘high bred’’ because they have money; that among womenand men alike there are many of these most vainglorious and pretentious ones whose lives are such as torender them unfit associates for really decent men and women, though they are tolerated and even honored by ‘‘society’’ merely because of their wealth or their rela- tionship to wealth that was made by their grandfathers. In brief, the sham aristocracy of wealth in America, like the aristocracy of birth in Eu- rope—though fortunately ina less degree as yet—tends directly to undermine all sound ethical standards, and to create the state of society that has always followea the luxury in which ‘‘wealth accumulates and men de- cay.’’ Itsets up one law of morality forthe multitude and quite another for the select few. It compels women to associate with blackguards unfit tocome into their presence, andeven disposes in marriage of women clean and pure to men whose characters make the sacrifice such as Hawthorne de- scribed as ‘‘throwing a flower into a sep- ulchre.’’ But when men of such training and asso- clations and ideas assume the roleof sens!i- tive, Knightly men of honor the sight is enough to make Rosinante break imtto a horse laugh. THE PEOPLE’S FORUM. [No matter writtenon both sides ofthe sheet can appear under this head.—Ep.] A Policeman’s Protest. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Commenting onan article inthe Forum, must say, ‘‘a policeman’slotis not a happy one.’’ He must not, on pain of displeasing his superiors in office, express an opinion on any of the questions ofthe day. He is forced to listen quietly toidiotic tirades against the generaljdespotism of the police. Lastly his very physique, with which, poor man, he has had no voice in the ordering—is criticised, or en- vied, by paltry dyspeptic individuals who vent their infantile spleen by the medium of an anonymous note. I wonder whether if our virtuously indignant J. M. was fortunate in the possession of a **great big burly figure’’ and could manage to get an appointment on the force, he would not accept a free ride andthe accompanying opprobrium of ‘‘squatting,’’ or whether he would pay a nickelforthe privilege of ‘‘sit- ting,’’ which incidentally would carry with it the designation of his anatomy as a ‘‘fine, massive, well-built frame.’’ A policeman’s so-called free rideis well earned, asisalsothe filreman’s. The corpo- ration is not obliged by any law to give free transportatian to policemenor firemen, but does so in order that in cases of fires, parades or disturbances they may count on their personal assistance when compatible (even though it be not com- pulsory) with the performance of their duty. And who, pray, receivesthe greatest bene. fit? Why just such paltry, faultfinding dogs inthe manger, individuals with their petty larceny situations, which are saved to them by the ability of the road to run their cars uninterrupted with the assistance of the much abused policeman. Thanking you for your kindness in advance for giving me a‘hearing, I sign myself per, force merely a POLICEMAN, How Is This? To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: We, the citizens residing in the neighbor- hood, and old subscribers to your paper, would respectfully ask the honorable Board of Police Commissioners if they think it right and proper forto havea lot of furni- ture vans placed where theyare at present? We, the citizens residing on High street, be- tween Lucas and Franklin avenues, think not. These people congregate with their furniture wagons and standall day in front of private residences to the great discomfort of the people of the neighborhood (High street, between Lucas and Franklin avenues), Why were these people moved from that great thoroughfare fronting City Hall, a roper and better place by farforthem. We onot think the private citizens who pay taxes to the city should suffer from such an inconvenience. We trust the honorable Board of Police Commissioners will act promptly in this matter and have the fur- hiture wagons moved to their proper place, MANY SUBSCRIBERS. A Merchant’s Complaint. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Is it not about time that something should be done to stop the begging done by the police and firemen of this town for their so- called relief fund? Every few days the mer- chants are appegeches by either a policeman or fireman to buya ticket, or three or four forthat matter, for ‘‘A Pair of Jacks’’ or some ball or entertainment of some kind. What right have the police or firemen to ex- pect double pay for their services? What right has the Chief of Police or Chief of the Fire Department to detail his men for such purposesas begging? Please ventilate this matter and if you wanta witness I am with you. SUFFERING MERCHANT.

Noonan No Longer in Con- trol of the Democratic Machine. © Col. C. H. Jones’ Hopes Blasted by His Honor’s Defeat. FULL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CITY CEN- TRAL COMMITTEE’S ACTION. Col. Jones Will Not Go to Chicago as a Delegate-at-Large and the Chances of Stone and O’Meara to Secure First and Second Places on the State Ticket Are Very Materially Lessened—Noonan’s Broken Pledge. Democratic politicians to-day speak of last night’s Central Committee proceedings as @ genuine political sensation. The meet- ing is, in fact, receiving as much discussion asthe Wenneker affair is getting in the Re- publican circles. The show of strength be- tweén the Noonan and uanti-Noonan factions in local Democratic politics terminated dis&strously for the ‘‘Push Chief’ and his friends. By a vote of 16 to ll, Sprinkling Inspector Ed Gartland, the Mayor’s candidate for the Fourth Ward vacancy, was knocked out, and John O’ Neill, & vigorous anti-Noonanite, elected. The next test came when Committeeman Tom Skidmore offered a_ resolution to hold the primaries for the election of delegates to the Sedalia, St. Louis, Jefferson City and Hannibal conventions on the same day. This, he said, would save considerable expense to the candidates and their support- ers, owing to the fact that it costs a consider- able sum to hold a primary under the provis- ions of the State law. ; Committeman Goode of the Twenty-second Ward, who came to the meeting with the intention of tendering fis resignation to make the racefor Circuit Attorney, opposed the resolution. He said it was un- Democratic and even suicidal. The ‘‘push’’ committeemen saw, however, that they were tnumbered in the committee room, and ost of them voted in favor of theresolution, — was declared adopted by a vote of, 25 oO 3. Mr. Goode’s resignation was then sub- mitted and accepted, It was the intention of the Mayor’s supporters to elect Courtney to the vacancy, after their experience with Gartland, they concluded notto present his mame. Clarence L. Hoblitzelle was then elected without opposition. THE ANTIS JUBILANT. The meeting was held in executive ses- sion in the Hendricks Association rooms, and while it was in progress a crowd of several hundred workers of both factions waited outside for the news, Mayor’s Secretary Brennan was in the gath- ering, and when he heard the news he left of ineffable disgust on The Noonan opposition parlance denominated the ‘‘pull’’ was elated. Constructions of all Kinds were placed on the result of the meet- ing. The anti-Noonan leaders said it meant that John B.O’Meara’s stock as a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor had struck the po- litical toboggan slide. They also agreed that the Noonan combination to send Col. Charles H. Jones as a delegate at large to the National Democratic Convention instead of Chairman ©. ©. Mamitt of the Francis end of the machine, was ina state of total collapse. The majority of the Demo- crats who waited in the halls andon the sidewalk were unmistakably antl-Noonan as their expressions showed. Some of them even cheered when the news got out from the committee- room that the push candidate had been defeated in the Fourth Ward contest by the decisive vote of lé6toll. The vote, asit was recorded by the secretary, was as follows: For O’Neli—Couran, Skidmore, Neiser, Stretch, Sheehan, Stansberry, Murphy, Mc- Namara, Quellmaiz, Boland, Duddy, Eda- —, Stuever, Taaife, Harris and Fitzgerald For Gartland—Owens, Rauer, Gallagher, Israel, Burk, Witti Haney, Fieming, Goode, Fox and Gunsolfs--1l. John Wittig, who voted for the, Noonan candidate sat In the committee as proxy for Park Commissioner Fechter, the member from the Sixteenth Ward. BUTLER AND MAFFITT WARDS. The friends of the Mayor were not at all pleased with the part taken in _ the meeting by Ed _ Butler’s friends the committee. Ike Couran of the First Ward and Martin Duddy of the Nine. teenth voted with the opposition,which was a surprise to Secretary Brennan and other Noonan leaders. They had hoped that Butler would use his pull on these committeemen to get them in line for the administration. They voted, however, with the opposition, as did McNamara of the Fifteenth and Boland of the Seventeenth. The Fifteenth and Seven- teenth are the wards in which — Chairman C. C. Mafiitt exercises his pull, Tt was reported after the meeting that Butler, who is absent from the city, tele- graphed Committeman Couran tovote with the anti-Noonan forces. This was givena wide circulation andsome of the Mayor’s friends believed itand vowed vengeance on Butler’s head. They declared, too, that they would Keep up the fight and shut Mafiitt out of the at-large delegateship he ts seeking. Last evening’s developments are also con- sidered extremely significantin view of the prevalent impression that the Mayor has gone into a combination to help ex-Congress- man W. J. Stone inthe Gubernatorial con- vention. The committee proceedings are ac- cepted as the strongest kind of an indication that Mayor Noonan will have no easy time of it delivering the delegates. On the contrary, the ‘‘pull’’ claims to be In possession of the field, which means well for both Gibson and Dalton, whoare fighting for the St. Louis delegation. DALTUN PLEASED. Dick Dalton, who has been called ‘‘Colo- nel’’ since he entered the Gubernatorial race, came down to the “ this morning from North Missouriin a jubilant frame of mind. He went tothe Southern Hotel where he met several of his political friends. They told him that the changes Democratic Oilty Committee terlally improved his far as Sst, Louis’ support: convention is copcerned. DValton had been informed that the Noonan influence would go against him on account of O’ Meara’s can- didacy for Lieutenant-Governor. This would seem naturalin view of the tact that both Dalton and O’ Meara’s names have a decided Milesian sound, and a convention made u of allthe nationalities and elements would hardly feel disposed to place both on the same ticket for the two leading places. While Dalton had but little to say about Cen Committee matters this ee it was very evident that he was pleased with what had transpired. It is his plan to stay in the citya couple organizin his friends, and sta out, for a bi tour through the counties sou of the Missourl. He has already made a thorough canvass inthe northern counties. He informed his friends this morning that he was never better pleased with the situation and that he anticipated no difficul g into the convention with a good lead over Stone, Gibson. Marmaduke, Pope Yeaman and Claycomb, the other candidates in the race. MAYOR NOONAN NOT DOWN. Several efforts were Made to-day to secure of days then he will it was impos- or.

As to that, I uninf It seems more ; however, it Vv take primaries or any other may be held in - Louis, ‘*From a standpoint not at all personal, I regard it as very objectionable politics to elect delegates to attend four of the State Conventions at a prey tobe held months in advance of the date of several of the conventions. Take the convention, for example, for the nomination of the State executive officers. 19. The Democrats of Sst. Louis are entitled in the light of full knowledge and information to formulate theirchoice amon the candidates for Governor, and to give ef- fect totheir choice through the voice and votes of their delegates in convention. No onecan pretend that the Democrats of 8t. Louls are now prepared to express their gu- bernatorial choice, and there has been no reason why they shoulkl make haste inthe as the date of the conven- fixed more than three If a primary were held early inJuly forthe State Convention, the real De ge of 8t. Louls Democrats would have a reasonabie prospect of being carried outin the convention. Long before that preference has been formed, however. delegates will have been elected, and the choice of St. Louis will be more likely to be misrepresented in the convention than to be truthfully represented. *‘*Another objection tothe election peere to the convention 8 n advance is that for weeks and months they will be exposed to every kind of temptation in the way of deals, combines, bargains, trades and s0 forth. In less than a week after the conven- tion resulting from the primaries is held, you will see in the newspapers claims that Dalton has sO many men in the St. Louis delegation, Yeaman so many, Gibson so many, and so on down throu the list. Charges of purchase and sale and dickers will be rife until the nominating convention meets. And should a large majority of the dele- gation vote together or vote as a unit, thena very plausible char of political bossism will inevitably be made. All this will weaken the Democratic party inthe State, aad will stillfurther discredit the Democracy of St. Louls in the eyes of the State Democrats.’’ Col, Jones was asked if he had any fear that his friends would be treated unfairly by Recorder of Voters Carlisle. ‘*It seems to me,’’ he replied, ‘‘that Mr. Carlisie could not afford to engage in any- thing dubious or questionable. In the first place, this is the first pri- mary that will be held under the hew State primary law,applying only to st. Louis, and the law will be discredited or otherwise accordingly as its administration is impartial or partisan. The Recorder will ver closely and ew persed watched and every ap- pointment of judgés and clerks that he makes will be subjected to the closest scrutiny. Were there any crooked work attempted it would be sure to be detected, Another reason for the confidence I have is that Mr. Carlisle has too much at stake to prostitute his office to faction uses. He isa young man yet, capa- ble and ambitious. He has won reputation as an administrative officer and he may reasonably expect to outlive the present po- litical combinations. Consequentiy, he can- not affordto stakehis all upon that. The recorder of voters, under our law, Is quite as much a judicialasan administrative officer, and he cannot affordto have suspicion at- tached to his office or his methods. Nothing is more certain then that the Democrats of St. Louls and Missouri will not submit to an autocrat ofelections who under the cover ot law will undertake to decide what kind of delegations shall be ground out of the primaries, and what candidates shail suc- ceed orfail. Ifthis is attempted the office will be swept away and the officer with it.’’ AS HOBLITZELLE VIEWS IT. Clarence L. Hoblitzelle, the new member from the Twenty-second Ward, said to-day that while the change in the committee was an anti-Noonan movement, yet it could not be construed as a rancis - Maffitt victory. ene | to a uestion he sal the nference could be drawn that it was also an anti-Jones affair, particularly in view of the fact that Jones and Noonan are generally understood to have entered into a deal to send the former to the National Convention. WHAT THE RECORDER SAYS. When seen to-day Recorder Carlyle said; **I don’t see any occasion to make any reply to the statements you say have been made | Col. Jones. If he would only take his copy of the Sessiun Acts of 1891, he would see that I have no authority to con- duct anything but an abvsolutely impartial primary. Thelaw is very plainly written and requires of me to give every delegation a judge and clerk selected by such delegation, They furnish me alistof five names, and out of each five I select a judge and clerk. Nothing could be fairer than that. Again, Itake it that the enforcement of this law is mandatory, the word ‘shall’ being used in every section. Ifthe City Democratic committee orany other political organiza- tion affected by this law failed tocall prima- ries I would have to‘do it myself under the provisions of the act. am very sorry that Col. Jones has been beat, as Ihad nothing inthe worldto do with the committee’s action. The committee’s action simply, however, confirmed me in my opin- ion that the majority of the committee were honest, intelligent men.’’ OFFICIAL DECAPITATIONS. Late this afternoon the report went out from the City Hall that Central Committeeman Andy Boland of _ § the Water Rates office had been asked to —— e or of dele- Oo. far his berth in that department. Desp all the persuasion of Ma Noonan’s friends he voted in the Central Committee last evening with the opposition. Another report was that Supt. Lohrum of the Work-house had relieved Guard Nieser of his position. Nieseris a brother of Central Committeeman Martin Nieser, who was also against the Noonan forces last night. ° Mayor Noonan’s Broken Pledge. When Mayor Noonan was elected in the spring of 1889 one of the first declarations he made was that the office-holding members of the City Central Committee had to go. He said in terms that admitted of no other inter- pretation that city employes would either have to quit the Central Committees or cease fattening at the public crib. This ahnouncement created a stir in polit- ical circles at the time, and fora time it was the impression that Mayor Noonan meant every thing he said. His Honor had just sed through acampaign where he had to ght the office-holding committeemen who gave thelr support at the primaries and con- vention to Allen. The fact that a number of the present com- mitteemen occupy public offices and that the city employes ve been trying to run the party maciine in the interest of Noonan, has caused many to refer to the Mayor’s declara- tion of three years ago and his failure to put it into operation. e committeemen now holding offices under the city government are: J. P. Owens, Second Ward, District As- sessor. . Joseph Israel, Twelfth Ward, Inspector. John Burke, Fourteenth Ward, Inspector of Boilers and Elevators. John P.

OTHER ROADS GETTING READY TO MAKE A SIMILAR MOVE. The Louisville & Nashville Will Have Its Terminals on This Side in a Couple of Months and the O. & M. Are Pre Daring to Come Across—The Property of the Zoads in East St. Louls Will Still Be Needed by Them. The Toledo, St. Louls & Kansas City Rail- road system, known as the Clover Leaf route, is to have its own freight and passenger de- pots in this city, This important piece of news, of great interest to the com- niercial interests of St. Louls, leaked™ out this morning in_ clos- ing Options and purchases of property in-. tended for the Ulover Leaf terminals. The site secured for depot purposes embraces two city blocks on the east side of Broadway, reaching from Florida to Brooklyn streets, in that old quarter of the city bordering on the river front, where the development for railway terminals has created such wonderful changes in the appearance of the locality within the past few months. Just south of this, to the east of Broadway, is where the Pennsylvania system has bulit its extensive freight depot. TheJacksonville & Southeast- ernis building depots in the same quarter and to the south of that again is the C., B. & Q.’s mammoth freight-house, the south end of it resting on Franklin avenue. , AN IMPORTANT MOVE, The entry of the Clover Leaf into this see- tion with the other roads mentioned, and still others likely to follow them, is an im- portant move, It signifies that railroad cor- porations recognize at last that the east bank of the Mississippi River is not a part of St. Louls and that to compete successfully with other roads that already have their terminalis here they, too, must come into 8st. Louls, Heretofore the Clover Leaf had its St. Louis terminals on the other side of the river and its freight and passengers were brought over here by ferryboats and across the Eads bridge. Having made arrangements to enter the city over the Merchants’ bridge across the Mississippi River, the Clover Leaf became an important factor in the success of theMerchants’ Bridge & Railway Terminal Co. Becoming interested in this way in behalf of the Clover Leaf the Merchants’ Bridge Co., through its agents, went quietly at work nearly two months ago to get possession of the two blocks of ground desired. The property was owned by numerous different arties, and itis Capen’ f occupied by old ulldings that have st there forty years. As there were so ynany different owners of the property it was no easy task to ge contro of it, especially in view of the fact that nearly every who owns a foot of property east of or at least hopes that it will be wanted and can sold for railroad pur- — at fancy prices in the near ture. However, by degrees, and by means of the use of one subterfuge and another, the land has been 8 of $250 a roperty owners any idea here was an immediate demand for these two blocks for railway depots they would not likely have obligated themselves to makea conveyance of their holdings on such terms, ENGINEERED FROM NEW YORK. | A Post- DISPATCH reporter called at the of- fices of the Clover Leaf route, but was told that General Freight Agent Jennings was 0 of the city. The clerk In charge was informed of. the object of the reporter’s visit and said: **We certainly know nothing about such a deal here, but it is not likely we would know anything, as the negotiations would be carried on through the company’s New York office, No. 40 Wall street. I have never heard of the road’s intention to estab- lish new and independent terminal facilities here, and on my own judgment I would say that } should not consider such action proba- e.’” The speaker was told that the negotiation for a sale to the Olover Leaf route wasa matter about which there was no question. ‘*Then it shows, as I stated,’’ he said, **that the trade was made through the New PS eng aa We certainly know nothing of MAJ, RAINWATER SEEN.

Claims the Shooting Was Accidental and the Wife Corroborates His Story— Both Refuse to Reveal the Name of the Man With Whom She Had the Ap- pointment. About 11 o’clock last night Wm. T. Griffin, a traveling salesman for the Campbell Manu- facturing Co., shot and seriously wounded his wife, Mrs. Katie Griffin, whom he had followed to the place of Mrs. King, at 2305 ‘Chestnut street, where she had gone to meet another man. The shooting was accidental, Griffin claiming that he had gone to the house forithe purpose of killing the man, whose name he refuses to give, but that he had nointention of hurting his wife. The couple have lived in St. Louis about six months at 2328 Washington avenue, having come here from Buffalo, N. Y., and have been married five years. He was jealous of a man who, he claims, loved his wife be- fore her marriage, and who recently fol- lowed her tothis city. About 7 o’clock last night Griffin intercepted a note from this man to his wife asking her to meet nim at No. 2305 Chestnut street, and when, about 10 o’clock - Mrs. Griffin slipped out of their Washington avenue home, Griffin followed her to Mrs. King’s place. He found her in the kitchen ‘there, andin a scuffle which followed, a . pistol which he had drawn was discharged, the bullet entering Mrs. Griffin’s neck at the base of the skull, Griffin imme- / diately called© a cab, took his ‘wife home, and summoned Dr. '.N, W.

Women who think It so strange that New York men occupy seats in crowded cars, ele- vated and otherwise, while feminine passen- gers Clutch for straps, should draw the moral from an incident that happened Ina Fifth av- enue stage a few days ago. One of those clumsy vehicles was jumbering up the avenue with two passengers, one & middle-aged man sitting by the door, At Nineteenth street the stage stopped, and an old lady, after bid- ding an affectionate farewell toa friend at the step, climbed in and sat down opposite the mi die-aged nasccnees. ihe latter was gazing idly into the s eg & when he felta touch, and <P ou himself in posses- sion ofanickel. Evidently it car th newly entered passenger, him with neither word nor oosaly plain that it that she ex the mi tit in iy. he end of or look of thanks. Nonecame. She adjusted her fur wrap and seemed oblivious of his presence. The ’bus rumbled on up Fifth ay- enue for some minutes without incident when the old lady suddenly leaned over and said: ‘*Stop the stage at Thirty- fourth street.’’ The middle-aged man flushed slightly with evident annoyance and said decisively: ‘‘Madam, you compelled me to deposit your farea few moments ago and omitted the commonest civilities in doing so. Iam neither the driver nor conductor of this stage and, though I should instantly respond to a courteous request, you may stop this stage wherever you please—for yourself!’’ And she did. VICTIMS OF A BAD HABIT. Men Whose Absent-Mindedness Leads Them Into Stormy Paths. From the New Yor« Tribune. He was walking down Fifth avenue when he saw someone coming toward him whose face seemed to be familiar. ‘*‘T was conscious,’’ he said, ‘‘that I Knew the man very well, but I was thinking of something and his approach didnot makea clearly defined impression on mybrain. 1 was alsoconscious that when he saw me he gave a start and took a step toward me with hand outstretched. And yet, all did not recall me suffi- from my thoughts to enable me to realize clearly just what was happen- ing. I said, inanabsent way, ‘How do you do?’ and walked on as ifI were in the habit of seeing him every day orasif I were only slightly acquainted with him. Even in that minute I wasawaketothe fact that there was a queer light in his face and that he re- turned my bow very stiffly. *‘-It was not untilI had gone a couple of squares down the evenue thatit flashed into my mind that the man was one of my oldest and most tntimate friends, whom I had not seen in several years, and that when he had started to greet me cordially I had worse than ‘cut’ him by giving him acold bow. I then, as a man will do, turned tohurry back after him, but of course he was gone.’’ Here is another extreme case. A New Yorker who made a trip to California was met at the pier. in Oakland by a ‘man who rushed up to him and wrung his hand heartily. , **How do you do, Will?’’ cried the stranger with delignt. ‘‘I heard you were coming and I thought you would like to have me meet you,.’’ The New Yorker looked at the other man in blank astonishment. . ‘*I’m afraid,’’ he said, ‘‘that there Is some mistake. I do not seem to know you,’’ ‘*Well,’’ said the other with a laugh, ‘you are acool fellow to joke in that way. ut how longare you going to stay out here? I want you tocome to our house.’’ ‘‘But, my dear sir,’’ declared the New York man earnestly, ‘‘I don’tknowyou.

But just to refresh your very remarkable memory I propose to tell you that I know you. I am your cousin, George D. —,. We were boys together; we went to school together, and you haven’t changed in appearance,and I do not think that I have. Good-day, sir,’’ and he started to walk away in disgust, but the New Yorker ran after him, offering a thousand apologies. The absent-minded writer, who, after fill- ingasheet-of paper with what to himat least is valuable literature, tears it up with- out knowing what he is ——e and throws the bit of paper in a waste basket, recently brought confusion and horror into his exdst- ence by one of his ‘‘thinkless’’ actions. He. had completed an article of several thoffsand words and had finished ‘-looking it over’’ and making changes and corrections init. Then hesat back and let his mind dwell on the subject upon which he had been working, and working very hard, and for some timetoo. As he mentially re- viewed the whole article, his fingers began to do deadly work with the manuscript. They tore it all into the finest bits and threw them away. Then. the man got u with a sigh of content that the wor was completed to his satisfaction. Not until the next day, when he went to his desk totake outthe manuscript, did he discover bow much his terrible vice of absentminded- ness hadcosthim. All his labor and pains were gone in fragments of worthless paper, and the thought made him faint and sick. And yet he himself declares that there is no help for him. He considers himself a ‘*hope- less case,’’ and tries to make the best ofa bad trait—a straying and capricious mind, BIBLICAL MISPRINTS. Serious Errors Which Have Crept Into the Sacred Text. From the New Tribune. Whatever may be said as to the inerrancy of the original autographs of the Bible, the record of misprints and blunders in many editions of that book, proves conclusively ‘that those who handle it are far from being inerrant. About the year 1500 Pope Sixtus V. put forth an edition of the Vulgate, the proofs of which he himself caref y cor- rected, He was sosure that it wasall right that he appended a Bull toit excommunicat- ing any one who should make an alteration in the text. Nevertheless, the volume was so full of mistakes thatthe edition had to be suppressed. Coplesofthis edition are now very rare, and fetch a high price. There have been some remarkable mis- prints in editions of the English Bible, In the edition of 1684 the passage in the twelfth Psalm, ‘*The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God,’’ appeared without the word ‘‘no,’’ and of course the edition was promptly suppressed. In _ the don edition of 1658 the words ‘‘worldly riches’’ appear instead of *‘ riches.’*’ The edition of Field, printer to the University of Cambridge in the seventeenth century, has many misprints. It ts said he received £1,500 from the Independents to peias ‘*we’’ for ‘tye’’ in the sixth verse of he third chapter of Acts, in order to su the theory that the people, and not the their sO tles, choose rs, brethren. look ye In_ the tion, the - 01s made to read published in the reign of Charles I., the printers being summoned before the High Commission, and fined £3,000. The same Omission occurred in the thirty-fourth edition printed at Halle, copies of which are now extremely rare. Per- haps the most remarkable intended mis- print occurred in an edition of the Bible poner by a German widow. Her late usband was apparently a worthless and disagreeable fellow, and ag she reflected on his many faults, she grew indignant at the assage inGenesis where God declared to ve that woman should be subject to man. So she arose one night when the workmen were absent, and going to the print- ing room, proceeded to reverse the situa- tioninthat passage, by taking out the first two letters of the word ‘‘herr’’ and replac- ing them by ‘‘na.’’ Thus corrected, the pas- sage read: ‘‘And he shall be thy (narr) fool,’’ | instead of ‘‘He shall be thy (herr) lord.’’ Of course the substitution was soon discovered andthe hapless widow was burned atthe stake bythe authorities, who, being men. could not ignore thisinsult to their sacred and superior persons. A MAGNIFICENT APRIL FOOL. Entertain ing Chapter in the Life of Maes- tro Rossini. From the New York Sun. A centenary is a very grand thing, no doubt, but few people hanker after it. If RKossinitakesany interest in thething just now he might request his admirers to ‘‘whistle it easy.’’ Above the din of the orchestras we find some bass notes that the author of ‘*William Tell’’ would perhaps like to have omitted. They inform us that the great composer was what the French call un homme de bonnes for- tunes, or at least he imagined himself such. He was thoroughly convinced that he was irresistible among the ladies. As a New Yorker ‘might say, -vulgarly but ex- phargity f he was ‘‘*stuck on himself.’’ He ept his pockets well filled with billets doux, which he constantly exhibited to his less fortunate friends and acquaintances. Ina word tf the notes which his centenary have called forth are allintune the great m#stro wasanass. Here is one of them from his biographer (ttinger. At Milan one morning just as he got out of bed Rossini received the following note: A are just arrived from Naples, with the intention of making the acquaintance of the maestro whose music fills the entire globe and carries his renown everywhere, would wish to see him this evening at the Scala, box 9, lower tier, to tell him orally what she dare not put on paper. The letter was written ina fine and elegant hand. There was a crest on the envelope, and the whole affair was exquisitely scented. ‘*Another conquest!’’ sighed Rossini, with an air of profound resignation, Just then the door was opened and the tenor David appeared. David was a first-class practical joker. The composer and the singer chatted pleasantly for a while, after which the latter announced the news that the Ambassadress of France had just arrived at Milan, ‘‘Is she pretty?’’ asked Rossini. **She is simply adorable,’’ replied David, ‘tand she is just crazy about your music. Her very first act wastohire a box for this even- ing. - I was at the theater when her attendant arrived, andhe hired a box in the lower or.” ‘*‘Do you know the number?’’ asked Ros- sini, **No. 9, I think,’’ was David’s reply. That settled it. When David went away, Rossini prepared himseif with a most elabo- rate toilet. Hecurledhis hair, fixed himself up elaborately, put on his all-conquering trousers and, when it was time to start for the theater, he set off with a licht heart for box 9. He found it empty. But he waited patienty, or rather impatiently, for the ar- rival of the expected beauty, At the end of the third act the box door was gently opened and an unknown hand presented Rossini with this note: MY DEAR MASTER: Madame the Ambassadress of France has charged the undersigned to offer yon her apologies. Itis impossible for her to come to the theater for the following reasons: I.—She has not yet left Rome. II.—She will probably never come to Milan. IlI.—She doesn’t exist. The Ambassador of France is a widower. Be good enough, incomparable maestro to accept the assurance of the profound esteem with which the undersigned has the honor to be Your devoted admirer, PETRO APRILE. Rossini swore. He was an April fool! He tried to laugh it off, but ever afterward David’s notes were always out of tune with the great composer. EXPERIENCE IN OPTICS. But the Lesson Cost Something in Drinks and Cash. We were sitting in aconcert garden drink- ing beer, when a decent-looking stranger came up tothe table and asked if we minded his sitting there, says a writer in the New York Herald. **I’ve got a little trick I’d like to show you, gentlemen, if youdon’t mind. You needn’t be alarmed. I’m not a bunco steerer or three- card monte man. It’s justa little thing Ido with one of these beer glasses. Now, look, what do you | the coin is I’ve just put under the giass?’’ As he spoke he showed us what seemed to be a silver 10 cent piece, which was plainly = lying on t table under the heavy ass. . ‘*‘Why, that’s easy enough,’’ said my friend, ‘‘it’s 10 cents,’’ and there was no doubt about it, it did look exactly like an or- dinary dime, with the goddess of liberty, the date and everything perfectly piainto the eye. - ‘*Why, of course it’s 10 cents,’’ continued my companion; ‘‘anybody can see that.’’ **Will you bet on it?’’ asked the stranger. At this proposition my friend hesitated, for it was evident that the stranger had some game he was trying to play, though what we could not imagine. nly [caught an inspiration.

Higginson once made a contri- bution to London ch, indirectly and unin- iy apt which very few people know about. When he wasin England he met the artist, Du MauPler, and Mrs. Du- Maurier, at a dinner party. In the course of the evening Col. Higginson had a chat with the famous artist, and told him the following true story: In America’s Cambridge a bright, but some- what eccentric, woman, had a little girl who she thought would some day be famous. In anticigption of that day she was in the habit of taking down upon paper the clever sayings and questions of her hopeful, and one day, when the child was going to. spend the afternoon with the children of Mrs. A——, one of Mrs. X——’s friends, Mrs. X—— sent a nate and a notebook by the maid, requesting Mrs. A—— to jot down anything remarkable that she might hear the child say. The story amused Du Maurier very much, but he said nothing about using it for a Punch illustration. When Col. Higginson was in Parts a few weeks later, however, he took up the last copy of Punch and saw one of Du Mauriter’s characteristic sketches, representing the Cambridge mother as the most ordinary and commonplace woman, surrounded by a group of snub-nosed, te 9 looking children, whose combined intelligence would hardly be — to the utterance ofa;single bright re- mark. The maid of the original story was trans- formed into a ‘‘reduced governess,’’ who was about to take one of the dear, stupid girls foran afternoon visit, and the dear, stupid mother was Nanding her a notebook to give to Mrs. A—— for the purpose already mentioned. HE WOULD RATHER BE HANGED, An Unfortunate Who Has Had a Taste Electrocution. : From the Boston Herald. ‘*If I had my choice of hanging or electroe cution as a means of death I would choose the former every time,’’ said Keserve Officer Oliver P. Russell to a Herald man the other day. Officer Russell was struck by a live electric light wire two weeks ago, and in 10 secondg was insensible to all outside influences. He remembers seeing the wire swinging, and that itflew toward him after breaking loose iroma horsecarto whichit had be- come entangled. The wire knocked of his helmet andthen struck him inthe back of the head. ‘*Every joint in my body stiffened,’’ he said, *‘I was in excruciating pain, asif from cramps, and I fell, I remember hearing somebody speak of an ax, and I think it was a woman. ‘*While I was lying on the ground I felt as if 10,000 pins and ‘needles were going through me. ‘*After this I knew nothing until the next morning, and then my sufferings were ter- rible. It seemed as if every bone in my body was breaking, but my head and back were the worst. I suffer much now when I le long in one position, but think I am lucky to be alive and so 1 do not grumble.’’ : Officer Russell, it is believed, is the only man living who has taken the full force of an electric light wire, such as is used in lighting our streets. Of other victims, most of them have died before they reached the hospital. His injuries consist of a partial paralysis of the whole left side, but the hospital physi- clans say they hope to remedy this soon, - Wants the License Refused. Rev. Cass Landers, a colored miuister renee. at. 810 North Twenty-third street, asked Recorder Hobbs this afternoon to refuse a marriage license to his daughter, Betty Landers, and Large Gray. Kev. Landers said his daughter was only 15 years of age and he did not want her to marry Gray. She left bis home last nightand has not since been heard from. some years ago,

Breaking Up the Brotherhood. The Southern Express Co. has taken up the war uponthe Express Messengers’ Brother- hood, which was started some time back by the Adams company. Since the Iistof April the Southern company has discharged nearly 100 men, letting them out quietly one ata time apd replacing them with non-Brother- hood men, The only reason for the discharge of the men is that they belonged to the Broth- erhood, which is considered by the express companies inimical to their interests. This last action has about destroyed the Brotherhood, as is admitted by most of its members. This was the purpose ofthe com- panies in general, although they had no agreement to that effect. Since the strike in January the Adams company has discharged about 100 men,the Southern 100 and all the men in the Pacific company withdrew from the Brotherhood in a body.

The blacksmith shop of Edward Lehman on the east side of Church avenue, between Shady and Marshall avenues, Webster Groves, caught fire about 8 o’clock last even- ing, and was soon completely destroyed. Jans Petersen’s house adjoining, and his ice nouse in the rear, witha stock of ice valued at $600, were the next to go, and the flames also spread toMrs. Henrietta Horch’s six-room residence, and T. B. Dolan’s saloon and res- idence on the corner of Marshall and Church avenues. The buildings, all two- story frames, were completely destroyed. They were owned by the estate of Henry Horch, whose widow resided in oneofthe houses. Thetotal loss was $10,000 or $12,000, about half of which was covered by in- surance. For awhile it was feared the whole suburb would burn, and Kirkwood, which was called upon for assistance, sent 200 men there on a special train. ONE MASS OF SCALES Afflicted Three Years by Dreadful Skin and Blood Disease, With In« tense Pain and Loss of Hair.

They have cured me in four weeks’ time frow a Skin and Bloud Disease which I have had for over three years. At certain times my skin would be very sore, and always kept cracking and peeling off in white scales. In cold weather my face was one inass of scales. When in the cold air the pain was intense; it would almost bring tears to my eyes, and my blood also being ina poor condition, with a loss of hair. Ihave tried every known romedy that was recommended to me, but it was of no use and gave me very Jittle benefit. So, hearing of your CUTICURA REMEDIES, I concluded to give thematrial.

Mason of the Anchor Line and a member of the Executive Committe of the strikers’ unions, the strike is over andall trouble is at an end. To-day was the beginning of the second week in the levee strike and the strikers, as well as the boat owners, were in a deplorable state. Desertions from the ranks of the strikers were becoming numerous thus les- sening the force of the Jaboring men and the boat owners were losing business and money through their inability to handle the freight tendered them. To-day the officers of the Roustabouts’ and Longshoremen’s Unions were soliciting subscriptions to pay form free beer and sandwiches which were given away at Union Capital Hall at noon to keep the men in the ranks and keep them from being driven to work by hunger. The settlement came at the most critical period of the strike andthe compromise between the Strikers’ Commitee and Oapt. Mason was agreeable to all parties concerned, Every day since the Strike began, one week ago, a committee representing the Roustabouts, Longshoremen and Engineers’ Union called on Capt. Mason and asked himto sign anagreement. This agreement wasto the effect that he should pay 25 cents an hour to longshoremen, $45a month to roustabouts, $50 to $7 5 a month to firemen and $90 to $125 a month to engineers. None but union men were to be employed, CAPT. MASON WOULD NOT SIGN. Capt. Mason refused to sign. The line of boats he represents employs more men than any two other lines and he knewthe settle- ment of the strike depended on the action of the Anchor Line officers. The highest wages were always paid by the Anchor Line and Capt. Mason made no objection to the wages asked by the strikers, but he did object tothe clause com- pelling him to recognize the labor unions. Ihe strikers’ committee would not give in their point untill this morning when they again waited on the Anchor Line President and told nim they would accept his proposition under certain conditions. If he would agree to pay the wages asked they would withdraw the ‘‘union’’ claims to the extent that he could employ non-union men when union men Were not available. Capt. Mason said he had engaged alarge number of non- union men, who were at work then unloading the City of New Orleans. He would not dis- charge them, and he would employ whom he saw fit. The strikers thinking this act would influence the other boat owners agreed to Capt. Mason’s terms and sixty men were ordered to goto work on the City of New Orleans at once ,under Tom Crawford. When the ‘‘rousters’’ on the Levee saw this there was a general break for other boats and within an hour’ after the settlement with Capt. Mason the levee was alive with active workingmen. CAPT. MASON INTERVIEWED. Oapt. Mason was seen soon after the settlement and asked what it meant. “*‘It means we are going straight ahead, andIthink you can say the strike is over, rs hesaid. ‘‘Ihave signed no agreement and never intended to. I would sooner tie all our boats uptothe wharf than sign an agree- ment to employ only union men. We have granted the demands of the strikers asto pay and union men will go to work. We are free to hire whom we please, but wili give union men the preference. The men have gone to work on the City of New Orleans already and I think we will- get the boat out to-night. If everything runs smoothly, as I think it will, we will he able to send out our regular daily steamer. We will accept freight for ths City of New Orleans now, and if we begin running regularly ina day or two we will take charge of the mall, which for the time being, we entrusted to the Ohio and Tennessee boats.’’ Several leaders in the strike were seen this morning alsoand they said the trouble was ended for the present at least. From this it is inferred that the men will work until their wages are again cut down when they will walk out and de- mand more pay. By to-morrow the men will have settled down tothe regular order of things and business will be running eet.

Napoleon Sommerfield Fined the Limit for Conducting an Unlicensed Dramshop. Napoleon Sommerfield and Samuel Carter were fined $300 in the Second District Police Court to-day for conducting a dramshop without a license at 1300 Lucas avenue, The saloon is the one which the Foster Bros. formerly kept, until they were fined $309. Henry W. Watson appeared for Carter and asked a continuance, but Judge Pax- son refused the request. The de- fense had a week in which to subpoena witnesses; and if they failedto do so, it was their fault, said the Judge. Dep- uty Collector Dan Siegmund testified that Sommerfield’s name was over the door, that he bought liquorinthe place and that he examined the bills and saw _ that all purchases were made in the name of Sommerfield and Carter. The former de- nied thathe had anything to do with the lace, andthelatter alleged that he nego- ated for the saloon with the mother of the Fosters, but had paid her nothing. William Foster testified that Carter did pay $12 and gave his note for $18. The Judge as- sessed the limit. Taming a Wild Westerner. Alexander Maher, the followerof ‘**Buffalo Bill,’’ who was caught by Officer Simcox Monday afternoon in front of 615 Morgan street with a revolver in each pocket and who fired at a negro named ‘**Red’’ after the officer seized him was fined a total of $1,100 on three charges by Judge Paxson to-day. The Aweapons were presented in evidence, klexander claimed that ‘‘Red’’ tried to gnife him, and traced the marks ofa long uash in his coat. But the evidence that Maher hsed his gun after the officer placed hands on liim knocked him out. He was given the i mit for discharging fire-arms and for carry- ng concealed weapons, and was fined an ad- ditional $100 for disturbing the peace.

Another Tragedy Added to the Long List Which Marks the History of the Hat- field-McCoy Vendetta—Origin of the Feud Which Raged for Years on the Mountain Border of Two States. CINCINNATI, O., April6.—A telegram from Louisa, Ky., states thatthe notorious Capt. Hatfield met death at the hands of one of his brothers at his mountain home a few days agu. The story comes from a raftsmanon Big Sandy, who says thatone day last week one of the Hatfield brothers, accompanied by afriend named Bayson, called upon Capt. Hatfield at his nouse for the purpose of enjoy- ing a social evening with a game of poker and a jug of moonshine. Through the early part of the evening all went well, and as the night wore on the men became crazed with liquor. The good luck of their host led his brother to accuse him of frand, Pistols were drawn and shots freely exchanged. Capt. Hatfield fell, shot twice through the heart. The visitors escaped unhurt. So great is the terror which the Hatfields have created among their asso- ciates that it is absolutely impossible to as- certain with certainty the name ofthe Hat- field who killed the Captain. ,* The feud recalled by the death of Capt. Hatfield began in 1863. The Hatfield family ruled in Logan County, W. Va., and the Mc- Coys were supreme in Pike County, Ky., across the border. Theformer were South- ern sympathizers while the McCoys were Union people. § Capt. Vance, a Hatfield, made a raid in 1963. Uptothattimethe two families had been friendly and had intermar- ried." With his')s command Vance passed along the Sandy River, where the people had already suffered from guerilla warfare. On that raid Vance met Hiram McCoy. They had been warm, friends. Dut as McCoy was a Union man, Vance shot him. It was a cold- blooded murder, although the pretext was a military one. The McCoys were roused and declared war against the Hatflelds. A MORNING’S WORK. Some time after the murder three men, Nichols, Artosh and Lockhart, relatives of the McCoys, deserted their company, which belonged to the same regiment in which Capt. Vance held a command. The Colonel ordered Vancetd hunt upthe fugitives ana bring themin. They were captured, but for some reason were not shot, but allowed to go free. The three desperadoes then deter- mined to waylay Vance and kill him. They laid in wait close to one of his flelds, expect- ing to shoot him while he was ploughing. The first day they lay in ambush, Vance, hav- ing received information from some source of their intention, cid nct gointothe fleld. The next morning Mrs. Vance went out, ostensi- bly to look for the cow, but really to discover the whereabouts of her husband’s enemies. She caught a glimpse of them ina fence cor- nerbehind sume bushes, and immediately to the house. himself and the door, the meanwhile holding the attention of the bush- whackers by walking about the front yard. Vance got inthe rear of the trio and opened fire from behindatree. Arosh was killed, Lockhart got eight bulletsand Nichols es- caped with a slight wound, THREE FOR ONE. Following the close of the war several murders were committed on both sides. Nothing was done by the authority to stop the atrocities. The feud went onina fitful way until about fifteen years ago two of Ran- dall McCoy’s nephews, Parish and Sam, killed Wm. Statton, a brother-in-law of Ellis Hatfield. It was alleged that the McCoys met Statton on the road near Pond Creek, in Pike County, and a quarrel arose. The Hat- fields pressed the prosecution, but the jury could not agree. About ten years ago Johnson Hatfield, son of Capt. Anson Hatfield, stole one of Randall McCoy’s daughters. e had been making love to her some time by stealth and finally ran off with her. When he grew tired of her he sent her back home. Then the McCoys arrested the offender and carried him off into Kentucky, but the Hatflelds mustered a squad and released him. Then came another murder. It occurred at an election held in Pike County. It was al- leged that Talbot, Farmer and Randall Mc- Coy, Jr., Knocked Ellis Hatfield down and al- most cut him in pieces. He lived through the evening, but it was a rent from*™ the first that he cou not recover. When Ans Hatfield heard of it he took two men with him and raided into Kentucky. He there captured the three Mc- Coys and brought them back into West Vir- nia. He then waited until the news of Ellis atfield’s death reached him. The pris- oners were and then bound to trees, a distance steped of, own quietly, shot. One of Hatfield’s crowd pleaded with him tos their lives, but e prefused, saying. “*Three lives for one.’’ The youn gest of them was a boy cf 15. Upto this time the Hatflelds appeared to have the fued pretty much their own way. Many were killed whose names are forgotten. After the murder of the three Mc- Coys above mentioned Jeff McCoy said to have killed Fayette Waffon. Afterthe murder Jeff made his escape into Logan County, where he remained fortwo months with a man named Halford. Atthe , end of the two months the two fell out witha man named Wallace who had married a niece of McCoy. The woman had left her husband and gone backto her father. Wallace and the desperado, Cap Hatfield, went after her ‘put coula not find her. Hatfield, in afito rage, gave her mother a brutal whipping with a cowtail which he carried in his ket. A warrant was sworn out for Wal- foce and Jeff McCoy was given the gepsss. ~ He ordered Wallace to surrender. Wallace Hatfield was unmolested, as no one dared to arrest him. Then Capt. Hatfield undertook to arrest Jeff McCoy but was obliged to kill him to pre- vent his escape. . WOMEN ate The State of Kentuc hus- T'GHTERED. now took ahand. A second raid \ were abducted.

In 1888 the State of Kent was appealed to for Winchesters and aoer bank ner recommended that they be furnished the county officials. Active measures were taken and the feud partially broken. Three of the Hatflelds are now serving life sentences in the Kentucky State Prison. STRIPLINGS SHOT DOWN. : In the course of this vendetta young hel less striplings were murdered in co b ; women were deliberately slain, one of them shot dead asshe st ap tobe mar- ried. Wounded men on either side were killed in cold blood after the conflict by men who were as cruel as they were brave; who were honest in all poceniery matters, truth- ful and hospitable, but in the execu- tion of theiy vendetta as ruthless in their vengeance as the Sioux when he took the warpath against the Paw- nees, the Crows, or the Chippewas. These Americah perpetuators of the family feud were not robbers atall.. They robbed their enemies of et save their lives. This curious survival of the family feudin the mountains of the South and Southwest was due to agen’ Alay and the education of tradition anes nted from Europe to Amer- ican regions, where it flourished because of isolation and ignorance, untilthe extension of railroad and mining interests to the mount- ain region made it necessary and possible to compel the mountain outlaw to become a law- abiding citizen.

T., April6.—The stationing of United States troops along the borders of the new promised land in Oklahoma has only had the effect of intensifying the anxiety of the boomers who are waiting for the word torush for homes inthe country of Arapahoe and Cheyenne Indians. For months it has been known that the fine lands would be made a partof Oklahoma and that some time between April 1 and April 10 settlers could enter upon the Jand towards which they have cast such longing looks for months. These’ people are encamped in and about Minco or scattered along the Canadian River for many miles. Some have houses on wheels ready to be drawn over and deposited within the promised land and others have boats for crossing the streams. There are two ralil- roads extending into the new Territory and they are all running extra trains. This addition will make Oklahoma, which is the smallest as well as the youngest of the Territories, much more of a country. When the first white settlers entered Oklahoma there were only 1,881,801 acres in it. That was a very smallarea for a new Territory. Then No Man’s Land was added to it. On Sept. 22, 1891, another tract on the eastern border of Oklahoma, comprising 900,000 acres, was opened for homesteads. There was a rusn of settlers that day as intense as when the original Oklahoma lands were opened and before sunset, itis said, every available quarter section was taken, But to the west were the rich lands of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, which reach westward to the Texas border. The northern wanes raga | of the new areais the Cherokee outlet. It extends southward on its west boundary to tre North Fork of the Red River. For a distance of forty miles the fork divides the Cheyenne and gArapahoe land from unas- signed land, andanarbitrary line separates it from the Comanches and the Apaches. On the east the tract is ded bythe Wichita lands, running over to the Kingfisher lands to the north. ‘ This great tract includes more than three million acres. It is nearly a third larger than the remainder of the Territory. Of course all this will not be open to settlement, as by the treaty to each Indian 160 acres are given. Soon the lands of the Wichitas, the Kicka- poos and others will be added, makinga total of 6,022,000 acres. The plan of dividing the new Territory into counties isto mapand namethem after the letters of the alphabet. County © will have the largest percentage of negroes. Two car loads of negroes arrived at Kingfisher yesterday, all pretty well todo and determined to found a town oftheir own. The colored population willequal the white in C County, and will be a great factor in that county’s affairs. Itjis estimated that 60,0u0 people willswoop over the borders on the first day of the opening. ' Grand Bale of U. &. Government Land.

Dictator Palacio Haunted by the Fear of Assassination. THE VENEZUELAN REVOLT DAILY GAIN- ING IN STRENGTH. Orespo’s Standard Hoisted in Almost Every State ofthe Republic—Planning a Movement on the Capital—Supreme Court Judges and Federal Councillors in Prison. CARACAS, April 6.—These are stirring times in Venezuela. President Palacio ts virtually Dictator;a portion ofthe people are in re- volt, led by the intrepid Gen. Crespo; the judges of the Supreme Judicial Tribunal are in prison; the OCongress can not meet and every public man at the capital isin fear of assassination. Rumors of plots are heard on every side. NO one would be surprised to hear that President Palacio had been assas- sinated. Hespends most ofhistime in his mansion conferring with his Cabinet. The friends of the Supreme” Court Judges and of the Federal Councillors, who have been im- prisoned by his orders, are very indignant at what they characterize as dictatorial and tyrannical measures, Palacio’s high-handed methods, instead of subduing, have increased the bitterness entertained against him. Gen. Crespo, the leader of the Insurgents, continues in the meantime to receive adhe- sions to his ranks from all parts of the re- public. Among his forces are many of the best fighting materialof the country. With even numbers, any conflict between hfs men and the Government forces would toa cer- tainty result ina triumph for the former. Reports from the different States indicate the rapid growth of the insurrection. Bar- quesimeto, Coro, Los Andes and Seuloia have declared for Crespo. Other States, it is be lieved, will follow their example. The hills adjacent to Carabobo are occupied by the followers of Crespo. Caracas con- tains a number of armed revolutionists awaiting an opportunity to come out boldly against the government. The authorities have been reduced to their last extremity and are collecting customs duties on sixty drafts. Palacio seems to be losing ground every day and the Crespo forces grow stronger and stronger. There is no concealment of the fact that the government is very much alarmed. Reports from the headquarters of the in- surgents are to the effect thatthe greatest activity prevails there and that the indica- tions are that a move is to be made atan early date in the direction of Caracas. JUST FROM CARACAS., NEWS OF THE INSURRECTION BROUGHT BY STEAMER TO NEW YORK. New YORK, April6.—The steamship Vene- zuela of the Red ‘‘D’’ Line, which arrived at this port yesterday from La Guayra, brought among her passengers Julio A. De Gogorsa of Caracas. Inaninterview he gives more facts than have hitherto reached the North of the Vene- zuelan situation. At the Hotel Martin he accordedia reporter an interview upon the condition of things ih Venezuela, which he characterized as ‘‘ina very bad wayand going rapidly from bad to worse.’’ **I left Caracas,’’ said he, ‘‘on March 30, when the Government was:in a remarkably tight fix. Every one of the Stattes was in open revoltand hardly a military man of rominence sided with Palacio. Over 500 ournalists and public men were imprisoned, trade was dead and the finances of the coun- try were simply wrecked. ‘*The banks of Venezuela and Caracas re- fused to redeem thelr bills for the reason that Palacio had appropriated their gold and exported it. **M. Martos was appointed Minister of Fi- mance by the Government because of his promise to effectan arrangement with Eu- ropean and New York bankers by which large gold loans are to be secured upon a guarantee of payment by the merchants of Caracas. **Amsinck & Co., have already loaned $100,- 0on these terms, as also have Amostine, and it is said officially in Caracas that Buoul- ton of the Red ‘‘bD’’ Line will forward as much again bythe next steamer and upon the same terms. But this givesno relief to the Venezuelan merchants, who are at a standstill, absolutely afraidto do any busi- ness. The coffee crop is ready for the market but money is not to be had, and sellers will notacceptthe bills which have been prac- tically repudiated by the banks, **As tothe revolution, its dimensions are steadily increasing. ‘*Gen. Casanas has been appointed general in chief of the Government forces. His head- quarters are in Ortez, a town on the plains and about thirty leagues from Caracas. Gen. Crespo, chief of the revolutionists, is cen tralizing his forces near that placeand a de- cisive battle was expected to take place soon after we left. **The revolutionists number about twelve thousand men and reinforcements from all the States are coming in rapidly. Ina private letter written recently by Gen. Crespo to his wife, a letter which I had the honor to see, the General says: ‘By Aprill my forces will number 14,000 men.’ **The Government’s force does not exceed 10,000, only 700 of whom are in Caracas under Gen. Leopold Larria. ‘*The State of Zamora has revolted and has pecs. a large forceinthe fleld under Gen. enzano. Itis supposed that he will imme- diately attack the Government forces in La Victoria. **The State of Carabio is also in revolt un- der Gen. Colmeranez, whoisin command of 800 wellarmed men. Los Andes has decided against Palacio and 6,000 men are on the march from that province to join Gen. Crespo at Ortez. **The revolutionists are in need of arms but supplies of this kind are being received from Trinidad. Several fights have occurred near Caracas and Ortez, but they have been small affairs. **The latest intelligence that reached me as we sailed from Luguayra was that the town of Barquesimet had fallen into the hands of the insurgents. **It seems that Gen. Crespo must succeed, but should he fail, another revolutionary leader will surely take up the fight, so uni- versally bitter is the feeling against Palacio and Gen.

A Move to Have One Erected—Other Re- ligious News. As already announced in the Post-Dis- PATOH, the Young Men’s Sodality Union are contemplating erecting a building which shallconstitute a permanent headquarters for the society. At a meeting held last even- ing in St. John’s School Hall the matter was very thoroughly discussed. The union has a membership of 700, and it was proposed that a building association be formed, each mem- ber to be a shareholder and to contribute $1 per month on his stock. This alone would create an avaijable fund of $8,400a year. Some objectfn was raised to the $1 assessment as too high. Addresses were made byjFathers Brady and Coffee but no definite result was reached. After the busi- ness meeting a pleasant literary and musical entertainment was given by members of the society. ‘he Baptist ministers met yesterday at Grand Avenue Church to discussthe advisa- bility of a grand union revival service under the auspices of Evangelist S. H. Pratt. No definite results were reached, some holding that exclusive attention should be given by the ministers to theirown denomination and others that the wark could not be undertaken on short notice.

DOES IT MEAN REVOLUTION? An Incident Which Disturbs the Govern- ment of Hawaii. SAN FRANcISCO, April 6,.—Latést. advices from Hawalisay: The various rumors of a revolutionary movement at Honolulu, which have recently appeared in the American papers, received apparent outward confirma tion here on the merning of Monday, March 28, when the curbing surrounding the Roya Palace was found piled breast high with sand bags, The sitmation4+was explained by the statement that barricades were placed there as protection against an expected raid from a party of malcontents under the lead- ership of Robert W. Wilcox, who led an at- tack on the palace a few years ago. The rumors were magnified to such an extent that considerable uneasiness was felt among local people and a large number of visiting strangers. Two Krupp breechloading can- non were found concealed beneath tarpaulins at either side of the steps mesg to the basement of the palace. The Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, Parker, and Gov. Cleghorn, father of Princess Katulani, heir to the throne, were very indignant, as was also Minister Parker, at what they termed these unwarranted preparations, and the blame was laid on Mar- shai Wilson, head ofthe household troops. The excitement for a time was heightened by the statement that several promntnens peo- pie here were in favor of the annexation movement and several persons were men- tioned as agitators in the proposed »>move- ment. Col. Vv. Vv. Ashford was reported as being prepared, in conjunction .with R. W. Wilcox and a force of men, to further a move- ment looking to the establishment of a Ha- wallian republic, Wilcox, on betng interviewed, however, denied all knowledge of interest on his part of the commission of any overt act. He Stated at a ieast given by him Sunday March 27, at his out-of-town residence, that the two guns had been used in the target practice and this might have given rise to the rumorthat he intended to attack. He stated that his mind was not madeup on the anvexation question, and he considered it time enough to think of that project when the United States should take measures to thatend. Regarding the feasibility of the Hawaiian republic scheme he expressed himself in doubt, and said thathe and his party, speaking more particularily of the native element, desired a fair and representa- tive government. All that the natives ob- wt to at present was disfranchisement rom'voting for nobles, by the requisition of an income af $600 a year. He hoped, however, that this grievance would be remedied by the oe Legislature. Col. Ashford attributed the warlike prepa- rations to the projected — d’etat, con- certed in the sugar planters’ interests, who demand annexation for the purpose of ob- taining the sugar bounty given to American planters, Admiral Brown of the United States ship San Francisco, said there was nothing, tangl- ble in the existing rumors, and he had no official information that an attack had been expected on morning of the 6th. He stated that he thought the whole affair arose from a misjudgment on the part of the officers in charge of the military garrison at the palace. He was satisfied thatthe San Fran- cisco could protect all interests if necessary. Careful investigation elicited the fact that the household troops are in practice drilling at night to pregess for sudden attacks, and in the course of drillsand bags were placed in position, guns run out and other mancevres gone through. On the night of the 27th unusual manceuvers were gone through under command of Mar- shal Wilson. Afterthe drill was finished the sandbags, either through intent or careless- ness were left in position and remained throughout the 28th, an object of interest to the thousands of sightseers who flocked out- side the paiace fences when they found no revolution was in progress.

The strong tendency of the real estate mar- ket toward downtown properties which has been such a striking feature of the demand since the opening of the year, and--the great volume of sales in fancy West End residence sites that followed later, has stimulated an inquiry for lower priced ground in broad acre plots beyond the city limits, and several im- pees negotiations in that class of realty ave been consummated recently. Only A few days since reference was made in these columns to efforts that were being made to syndicate the Way property, a tract of sixteen acres situated on the south side of Olive street road, just west of the city Hmits. That transaction has not yet been consummated, but the sale of a nine- acre plot adjoining the Way land on the west was perfected to-day, the consideration be- ing $26,400, This is a ve indicative pur- South of this, allthe way to Forest Park, nearly all the land has changed owner- ship within the last two years, and it is held in anticipation of fancy prices to be realized upon the perfection of anex tended system of public improvements for that whole section west of Union avenue, in- cluding additional electric lines, sewers, well-paved streets, water and the best of sidewalks, essential to the requirements of the choicest residence sections, similar to the favored locality further east, between Union avenue and King’s highway. Under these circumstances and in consideration of the comparitively high prices that have iatel been paid for these rolling flelds and pasture lands on both the north and the south lines of the old Bonhomme road, north of Forest Park, there is now no medium price land that can be purchased in that quarter, even though a very large portion of it is beyond the city boundary. Forthat reason the real estate operator who desires to buy land that is bet- ter adapted in price tothe necessities of the masses wno are not disposed to pay fancy figures for home sites are compelled to open new fields. A keén apprehension of these facts is attracting attention tothe heretofore neglected properties along the Olive street road, remote as they areat present from rapid transit. However, with a change in the ownership of a great deal of the land, which ts likely to occur soon, and the improvement ofit with home buildings for the medium classes, transportation will un- doubtedly be provided in the course ofa very few years. Even now, and all within the past six months, dreds of houses have been over the city border along the line of the St. Louis & Suburban Electric road, a vast amount of the improre rears having been made in the vicinity of De Hodiamont 8ta- tion, near the Olive street road, and in close proximity to the Wabash line. The nineteen acre tract sold to-day be- longed to Morris Hezel. It is located 2,000 feet west of the Wabash Rallway,and extends 1,700 feet along the south side of Olive street, by a depth of 492 feet, embracing the old picnic grounds densely shaded by a forest of native Missouri woods. Maple ave- nue, where it intersects the Olive street road, on its route eastward through Cham. berlain Park, is the northeast corner of _ the remises. The ex- treme west end of the plot runs to the rear of the seven-mile house, where it adjoins.another piece of Morris Hezel’s land. H. H. Hess, with A. R. Schollmeyer & Co., negotiated the transaction, the-~ pur- chasing syndicate being composed of Louis Hild, Dr. Guhman and his other, Jacob Guhman, O. K, K mp, Juilus Wiel, Ben- amin Miller, A. Watounec: and H, H, less. REBER PLACE. Rutledge & Horton report the sale of the two-story eight-room brick bouse and 50x200 feet of ground at No. 8049 ee place, from Joseph Flannery to J. G.

What a Traveler Discovered on a Recent Trip Through the Country. Kansas City, April6.—A local paper prints an interview with Judge Davidson of Massa- chusetts who is returning from a through Central America and Yucatan. He left the United States on a trip for his health, but when he got to the Southern country he heard so much of the ruined cities that hé determined totry to gettothem. The Judge says that there is a wonderful field for re- search in that region and when a properly organized expedition goes into the central part of Yucatan there will be found mysteries than are in pt. justonthe border hee ~ them to go fora long time without depend- ing on any outside. assistance, for the inte- rior.country is. almost totally uninhabited, and there will be no possible way to get food, as no native products are raised by the wild Indians, who, instead of belngan aid, may be a detriment.

Willis Marson, a book-keeper in the employ of the Missouri Art Co., called atthe Four Courts yesterday and reported that last Mon- day night while out onthe town he had had $100 stolen from him. He says that he was intoxicated at thetime and claims to have been robbed by acab-driver or the inmates of an immoral resort. The police put little faith in his storys. A traveling man stopping ‘at the Southern. Hotel complains that while seeing the town he lost $250 and a lot of jewelry.

8 sf « a THE STRICKER CASE,| ‘iq 7+ _ — — St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Wednesday, April 8, 1882. Secretary Hawley of the Cleveland Club Explains Matters. _ THE SECOND-BASEMAN CANNOT COMPEL 8ST. LOUIS TO PAY HIs'TERMS. The Technical Points in the Oase—Per- formances of the Horses Who Are to Compete in the Big Handicap—Racing, Base Ball and’ Sporting News of All Kinds. Secretary Davis Hawley of the Cleveland (lub says that there is a wrong impression put about the agreement entered into at In- gianapolis, and that this wrong impression goes Chris Von der Ahe aninjury. Mr. Haw- ley is a pefsonal friend of Second Baseman ‘@tricker, but he says that there was no agree- ment at Indianapolis by which Von der Ahe ‘is forced to pay Stricker the $3,000 salary Cub signed for with the Boston Olub, ‘‘The agreement entered intoat Indian- apolis only provided,’’ said Mr. Hawley, **that players get the same salary for which they signed with other clubs, when they were specialiy asked for, and the club so asking agreed to give sueh players the salary they ad signed for. For instance, Pittsburg ‘asked for Farrell and got him, Boston asked gor Duffy and that player was immediately pwarded to Boston. These clubs agreed to pay the players just the salary for which they had already signed. After all the players specially asked for had been apportioned the others were put in a pool and equally dis- tributed amongtheclubs. Regarding these _Dlayers’ salary there was no agreement. “‘8tricker was among them and according to ‘the terms of the agreement Von Der Ahe is ‘not forced to pay him morethan he chooses. ’’ oo THE CLEVELAND TEAM. Cleveland will have one of the finest fleld- ing aggregations on the diamond the coming season, but the club is weak in two points, Matting and their pitching department. Outside of two or three men the club has no strong reliable hitter. and Young is the only pitcher on the club’s pay-roll who could be diepended npon last season for first-class work. Davis, who was secured from Mil- waukee, is probably a good man. He was very successful in the few games he pitched against the big clubs tn the Association toward the close of last season. Davis has yet to prove that hecan keep upthis pace. Should he do so ‘Cleveland will never regret signing him. Leon Viau, the old Cincinnati pitcber, at times does good work but cannot be depend- ved upon todo so regularly. George Rettger, . who was secured by the browns towards the close of iast season from Minneapolis and who failed to realize expectations, and Cuppy. Williams and Shearon, all experiments, are under contract as pitchers. ¥rom all appearances, just at present, the club is very weak, so far as pitchers are con- cerned. The catching department, on the contrary, is very strong; Charley Zimmer, one of the best backstops in the country, will be the club’s principal catcher. Jack U’Con- mor, a product of this city, who, however, “was deloped in the Western Association, and who afterwards made a reputation with Molumbus, will be Zimmer’s principal assist- ant. O’Con®for, besides being an excellent catcher, isastrong batter, and can pjay in the outfield, and consequently his strong ‘work with the stick can be _ utilized in every vame. Jack Doyle, an- ‘other good backstop, is under contract with ‘the club. First base will be guarded by Jake Virtue, who can fleld the position as well as any man on the diamond. Virtue is con- sidered a weak hitter, but last season madea fair record withthe stick. ‘‘Fatty’’ Childs will continue at second base. ‘*Cub’’ @trickerand Paul Radford were exchanged ‘to Boston for this player last spring, and al- though ‘‘Fatty’’ bas put up a fair game, Stricker’s work has been by far the better, so thatthe club management has uudoubtedly aeuretted making the trade. Childs led the clubin batting lastseason. E. J. Mcheon, ‘who will play short, covers a great deal of ground and is a excellent flelder. He is also a strong: batter and a valuable man. Captain and Manager Patsy ‘Tebeau, who will of course cover third base, is a St. Louis boy. Heisoneof the most brilliant players in his positiononthe dia- mond. Pat is alsoa good Datsmanand alto- ‘gether can come near holding his own with any third baseman piaying ball to-day. The outfield is one of the strongest in the League, especially as far as McAleer and Davis are concerned. The former is recognized as one of the star outfielders of the country andisa great base runner. He will be found inleft field. Davis, whowill guard center field, is a strong outfielder, a beautiful thrower, an excellent hitter amd base runner and considerable of an all-round player. He covered third base last season while Tebeau was injured and made cellent record. When taken into consideration has only been playing in ,the League two seasons, one of which was when that body was no stronger thana minor organization, this work last season was remarkable. Jesse Burkett, who hails from Wheeling, W. Va., ‘the home of Glasscock, Curt Welch, Buckley - and several other well-known players, will look after right field. Burkett is a youngster “whom Capt. Tebeau thinks will develop into _@ first-class man. He made a fair record ‘“ with the stick last season. > TO-MORROW’S GAME. The Browns play the John UC. Meyers’ team _@t Sportsman’s Park to-morrow afternoon, the zame being called at 3:15 o’clock. McDon- ‘ald, the one-armed pitcher who is claimed to ‘be something of a phenomenon, will. officiate for the Meyers’ club.
