Both Sides Confident of Success in the Homestead Struggle. — OONFLICTING STATEMENTS AS TO THE NUMBER OF MEN AT WORK. Wactics Adopted by Strikers to Weaken the Force Now Employed in the Mill— Result of the Action in Critchlow’s Caag—Manager Frick Out of Bed—The Jailed Anarchists. fy ~~ HOMESTEAD, Pa., Aug. 1,—General Super- fintendent Potter claims that there was a break in the ranks of the strikers in the me- Chanical department last night, and that twenty-five of the best skilled workmen re- turned to work this morning. Themen hada committee at the gate when the employes went in this morning, and they Assert positively that but eight of the 1,200 men in the mechanical Gepartment have broken away. They have been preparing for a break they say, and are highly gratified at the result of their endeavors to prevent one. Itis understood there are several strikers in the mill in- fluencing the non-unionists to quit. This plan was adopted with signal success in 1882, when a wholeturn ofstrikers went back to work and soon organized allthe non-union- ists, taking them out on another fight. About one hundred deputies areon duty in andabout the mills, This number will De increased to 800 very shortly. Supt. Potter saysthey are armed with clubs and rifles, and enough guns are now inthe mill toarm every maninthe employ of thefirm. Every precaution will be taken to protect the em- ployes, and if necessary force will meet force. The Thirty-third st. or Upper Union mills in Pittsburg started up non-union at4o’clock this morning. The plate miilis running and otber departments appearto be in opera- tion. A guard of police are aboutthe prop- erty and notrouble has occurred. The holding of Sylvester Critchlow without bail on the charge of murder because it was proven that he used a gun against the Pink- ertons has caused an exodus of the men who bore arms on the day of the historic Dattle. The men who did the fighting against the in- vaders do not feartheresult of a trial, for they believe it would be impossible to get a jury in Allegheny County to couvict them, but they do fear a long term of imprisonment in jail while awaiting their trial. And if they are arrested now it will be two months at least before their cases can come to triai.The Grand-jury does not meet until Sept. 1 and three or four weeks will be taken up in dis- posing of the minor cases, which always come first. To the mill men of Homestead, whose work is mostly in the open air and who are used to having their tough muscles in constant play, the idea of being cooped up in jail frightens them more than almost anything else could. Those who actually took part In the fight will take no chances of goingto jail. Already they have guietly begun to melt away, and when the deputies resume their search for them they will find notrace of them. If they choose to keep out of the way of arrest they will have no difficulty in doing so. This course had been determined upon when the news that warrants were out first reached Homestead. Few people knew that the most active men in the fighting had quietly gone away. There was no public meeting or anything of that sort. Directly the news that bail was refused Critchlow reached Homestead—and it arrived within five minutes after Judge Magee had made his decision—word was sent about quietly among those most vitally interested and they pre- pared tosink outofsight. The company as well as the authorities will make every effort to get these men, for the purpose of the com- pany, next to having them in jail, is to have them away from Homestead. FRICK OUT OF BED. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 1.—Mr. Frick passed acomfortable night andis out of bed this morning. He ate a bearty breakfast, and, no doubt, will visit his office later in the week. Itis said that no more bulletins of his condition will be issued by the attending surgeon. No petition forthe appointment of an arbi- tration tribunal for settlement ofthe Home- stead trouble has been filed in court, nor will there be until to-morrow morning at9o’clock, Supt. of Police O’Mara, District Attorney Burleigh and Attorney Friedman, will to-day arrange a satisfactory bail among them- seives for the release of Bauer and Knold, the suspect accomplices of Berkman, and will ask Judge Magee to accept it to-morrow morning. Because ofthe absence from the city of the senior counsel, Dickey, no suits in the Iams case will be instituted to-day. They are expected, however, to-morrow. More non-union men were taken to Homestead this morning on the steamer Tide. There were at least 100 in the party. CONGRESSIONAL ACTION. THE SPECIAL 8SUB-COMMITTEE’S REPORT READY FOR SUBMISSION. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. ative Oates, the Chairman special sub-committee of diciary Committee that investigated the labor troubles at Homestead and the action of the Pinkerton police at that place has prepared his reportand will sub- mit it for approval to the sub-committee to-day. Inasmuch as it is not yet definitely determined whether the investigation into the Pinkerton police system of the troubles shall be pro> ceeded with or not, the report iInits conclu- sion does not deal with that matter. It re- lates entirely to the cause, progress and termination of the labor troubles, giving firstan epitome of the evidence taken by the committee at Homestead and Pittsburg. the report then discusses logically the ques- tions that suggested themselves as aresult of the evidence taken. These questions are substantially as follows: Was the Uarnegie company justified in re- ducing the scale of wages? was the treatment of their employes just? were the employes justified in their conduct during the trouble? was the coimpany justified in ne Pinkerton police to guard the property? an has Congress any jurisdiction in the matter? hese questions are each discussed at more or less length. BERKMAN’S ACT. ANARCHIST METHODS APPLAUDED BY A SOCIAL- IST ORGAN, NEw YorK, Aug. 1.—The Socialists and Anarchists have been at loggerheads with each other for some time past. In the official organ of the Socialists, the New York Volks Zeitung, there appeared yesterday an editorial on the shooting of Mr. Frick, which was every bit as fiery as any article that has appeared in Anarchist newspapers. **The assault on the skin Frick,’’ it began, **by Berkman is under discussion as a politi- The organs of the different shades demand that the 1.—Represent- of the the Ju- | Berkman, and show their disgust | Murderous assault, Wa anew Gleay aon as: We do hot propose to do any such nz, ‘‘What punishment did Frick receive for having shed the blood of his wage- workers at Morewood?

Where is the justice in this man Frick, who drove the strikers and their wives and children in midwinter to sure sickness and death?’’ You moralists had better sweep in front of your own doors. You had better con- demn your own crimes and then come back and demand it of the workingmen that they shall not commit crimes like Berkman com- mitted on Frick. Then we will argue this question. Then we will talk together. What- ever he has sown he has reaped. Whoever uses the swora shall be executed the sword. Very well. It was Mr. Frick who first used the sword and who first employed force. It was he who first destroyed human life, which Was all the more crwardly, as he @id not ex- pose himself todanger. He has always been ready with his shining money to hire des- eradoes for this purpose. Frick brought ate upon himself. e declared the working class were outcasts, and noone can wonder when one workingman declared him an out- cast.

The representatives of this class are on the right way leadingto that end. One of their newspaper organs, the California Democrat, gaye vent concerning the shooting of workingmen in Idaho to this expression: **We hope that the United States troops sent to Idaho will find enough trees around on which to hang these brutes in human form,’’ The Volks Zeitung then gives afew alleged epg of public men.

TO BE PROSECUTED. THE HOMESTEAD PEOPLE WHO CLUBBED AND ROBBED THE PINKERTONS. PITTSBURG, Aug, 1.—Those who partici- pated in the disgraceful Homestead riot after the surrender of the Pinkertons on July 6 will be prosecuted for aggravated assault and battery, highway robbery, larceny, pocket picking and other crimes and mis- demeanors. Th3 work of securing the nec- essary evidence toconvict thoee engaged in the assaults onthe Pinkertons and the rob- bery of the surrendered men has been going on for some time, and it is now so far advanced that informations will be made ina few days and the persons arrested. Among them are several women, who were particularly active and aggressive during the time the men ran the gauntlet and after it in taking the property of the men and hiding it. Assaultand battery and re- ceiving stolen goods will be the charges against these women. This assault on the men was gerierally con- demned by the leaders of the strikers, and especially by the Amalgamated Association, andthey have aided in securing evidence against the persons engaged in the assault, and there is no sympathy forthem either in the Amalgamated Association or out of it. At the time ofthe assault these cowards were reprimanded by those who were trying to secure a safe exit for the Pinkertons. The Pinkerton agency will take part in these prosecutions. The attorney forthe prosecu- tion are preparing informations in these cases, andasthey are completed the war- rants will be issued. DANCING INDIANS. Unauthorized Squatters on Their Lands Causing Trouble. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 1.—A telephone message from Rockford, near the scene of the threatened Indian trouble last night, says: Several men here from the Colville Reservation report different bands of In- dians engaging in dances which bode no good for the squatters. The Indians are greatly incensed at the failure of the authorities to eject prospectors, and even those who here- tofore have been peaceably disposed seem to have caught the inspiration from others and allarearmed. The removal of all the in- truders would settle the trouble, and the In- dian Agert, Cole, has received official noti- fication that troops will be placed at his dils- pos: for this purpose as soon as those from ‘ort Spokane can be spared from the Coeur d’Alene mining region. The -authorities at Colville, the county-seat of stevens County, do not expect a serious outbreak. FIRES. Ward of the Austin Insane Asylum Burned. Austin, Tex., Aug. 1.—During a storm last night lightning struck an electric light wire leading to the lunaticasylum from the dyna- mo-room, extinguishing all the lights. Over an hour afterwards the west wing of the building was discovered to be on fire between the roofand the ceiling, where the electric wire entered the building. The female in. mates, numbering about 200, were quickly removed to the main building and every effort was made to subdue the flames, but all failed, and the west wing was destroyea. Loss $35,000 with no insurance. The State has a new asylum at San Antonioand the lunatics will be sent there until the wing Is rebuilt. Lost Child Recovered. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 1.—A dispatch was received this morning at police head- quarters stating that afterthe baby parade at Asbury Park Saturday a lost child was found who gave the name of Ralph Leech. The waif is undoubtedly the 5-year old grand- son of Wm. A. Barrett of 4505 Mather street, who was supposed to have been abducted, and of whose disappearance announcements were made yesterday in the Tioga pulpits. Saratoga Results This Morning. SARATOGA, N.

Female POLITICS BEHIND IT The President Silent to Canada’s Offer of Settlement. DOMINION CABINET COUNCIL HELD TO CONSIDER THE SITUATION. England May Be Asked to Sanction Re- prisalse Against the United States— British Parliament to Be Formally Opened Thursday—The Kaiser at Cowes —Leitrim’s Assassin Confesses. OTTAWA, Ontario, Aug. 1.—A Cabinet council was’ held Saturday to consider the conse- quences of President Harrison’s exercising the power placed in his hands to retaliate on Canada for discrimination at the Welland Canal. Sir John Thompson ‘and twoof his colleagues also held a consultation at the Russell House last night. It is.gaid the Cabi- net is divided on the question, one section being in favor of reversing the Canadian policy on the spot, and the other of appeal- ing to England for sanction to make re- prisals against the United States. No de- cision has yet been reached, Sir John Thompson leaves town to-day and it is rumored that he is to make an unan- nounced flying trio to Washington, and try to avert for awhile the issuing of the Presi- dent’s proclamation, which is believed to be impending, in order to give Canada an op- portunity of hearing from Engiand. From the highest official circles it is learned that the Dominion Government fully expects that President Harrison will carry the retal- latory threat against Canada into effect as regards the use of the St. Mary’s Canal. An official in high authority said that it was a matter of surprise to the government up to the present time. He asserts that President Harrison has totally ig- nored the proposition of the Dominion government, submitted sin June, by which all cause of complaint against Canada for alleged discrimination against the United States in the use of the Dominion canals would be removed. He said if President Harrison did not intend accepting the offer as a basis of settlement of the canal question it was difficult to see what his motive could be in withholding his rejectment from publl- cation. The fact that the President has re- mained silent leads to the belief here that the offer of the Canadian Government practically disposes of the case, although for political reasons President Harrison has withheld his affirmative reply. A ROYAL SALUTE, EMPORER WILLIAM ARRIVES AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT. Cowes, Isle of Wight, Aug. 1.—The Em- peror William, in his yacht the Kaiser Adler, formerly the. Hohenzollern, arrived here at noon, convoyed by two British men-of-war, which steamed up the channel] to meet him. He was received by royal salutes from the ships in the harbor and from the forts ashore. The Spithead was the first. to sound the thunder ot welcome. Afl the vessels in the harbor and in the Solent were decked with bunting, and the vast number of small yachts which at this time of the year areto be found cruising in the Isle of Wight waters lent animation to the scene. Wilhelm could be seen standing on the bridge in semi-naval uniform directly the ves- sel entered the Solent. To all appear- ances he wasin command ofthe yacht, but this may have been only a matter of form, as he had a Trinity House pilot on board. Di- rectly on his arrival at Cowes the yacht cast anchor and the Emperor embarking on board his gig, was rowed smartly ashore. Thence he drove in one of the Queen’s carriages to Osborne House, where his royal grandmother was awaiting him. To-night the Emperor will dine with the Queen at a banquet being served in the new banquet hall, a grand room which has re- cently been sumptuously decorated in Orien- talfashion. To-morrow (Tuesday) the Em- peror will be present at the annual house dinner of the royal yacht squadron at Cowes Castle, and during the week he is expected to sail his own yacht, the Meteor, during one of the most important races, particularly that of the Queen’s cup. His station is to be that ofa private personage, andon Sunday, according to present arrangements, he will return to Wilhelmhaffen. DISORDER IN BRAZIL. COLLISION BETWEEN CUSTOMS OFFICERS AND AN ITALIAN SHIP’S CREW. Rio JANERIO, Aug. 1.—Considerable excite. has been caused here by events arising out of the bad feeling between Brazilians and Ital- ilans. The first of these events was a fight on July 15 at Santos between Custom-house guards and the crew of the Italian brig Pietro Ten. On July 2i there was a fight between the crew of the Italian steamer Mentana and Custom-house guardsand policemen. Subse- quently the captain of the Pietro Ten died and his death is attributed by the Italians to injuries he received inthe fight. On July 2, there was rioting in San Paulo and several persons were killed and others wounded. A Brazilian fag was torn down and trampled under foot and an Italian printing office was destroyed. The police arrested 140 Italians. In this city on July 4, some of the Brazilians indulged in patriotic demonstrations, and there were threats of attacking the office of the Paiz, a newspaper that is accused of sympathizing with the Italians, The receipts ofcoffee atthis port forthe crop year ending June 33 were 3,718,838 bags, and those at Santos, 3,698,415 bags. The Rio Santos crops then amounted to 7,412,243. The two crops had been estimated at from 8,000,000 to 9,000,000 bags, buta great deal of coffee was lost for want of laborers to gather it. Thetwocropsthis year are estimated at from 6,000,000 to 6,500,000 bags, but it Is proba- ble that the coffee will not ail be gathered as there is much complaint ofa lack of labor. lt is sald that over 30,000 that had emigrated to San Paulo have left that State since Jan. 1 for the River Plate. BRITISH PARLIAMENT, MANNER OF PROCEDURE FOR THE FORMAL OPENING. Lonpon, Aug. 1.—According to the form of procedure for the opening of Parliament, which takes place Thursday next, the clerk for the crown first handsa list ofthe mem- ‘bers selected to the clerk of the House of Commons. Then the clerk of the House, standing at the entrance to the House of Commons, ‘verifies the members entering. Tne House then proceeds to elect the Speaker who, after his election, first makes oath. Then the swearing in of members begins. It is done by separating the members into de- tachments of twenty each, and will be com- pleted by Saturday. The Queen’s speech, it is fixed, will be read on Monday, Aug. 8. It has been ar- ranged that the Queen isto sign the speech at a meeting of the Privy Oouncil at Osborne House on Saturday next. A laborite champion writes tothe Times in ! reference to Mr. Davitt’s offer that if the labor members support home rule, the Mc- Carthyites will support labor legislation. The writer says: *‘This sounds like a fair bargain. If Mr.Davitt can give security that an eight hours’ bill, whichis the only meas- ure in which la ©8 are interested, can be introduced simultaneously witn the home rule bill, and the latter will not precede it by more than one stage, the laborites are ready to negotiate with him. Otherwise they pre- fer to ight for their own hand.’’ Sir Andrew Clarke, Mr. Gladstone’s physi- clan visited Mr. Gladstone, at noon to-day. He reported that the patient was ‘‘doing pretty well, but wants care yet.’’ This an- noun ent is not exactly reassuring to the Liberals, who had been led to suppose from yesterday’s announcement that Mr. Glad- stone would be abroad to-day. It is known thathe passeda good night and his friends are sanguine that he will be able to be around to-morrow. .

LORD LEITRIM’S ASSASSINATION, A PRISONER IN GLASGOW CONFESSES TO THE KILLING, LONDON, Aug. 1.—Aman who ts confined in prison at Glasgow has confessed to the au- thorities that he wasimplicated in the murder of Lord Leitrim, who was shot and killed on April 2, 1878, ‘while driylng near his lordship’s residence in County Kerry, Ireland. The prisoner also stated that he was concerned in the killing of LordMountmorris,at Rusheen, County Mayo, Ireland, Sept. 25, 1880.) He fur- ther says he was hired to assist the man who killed the informer James Carey, who was shot and killed on board the steamer Melrose at Port Elizabeth, South Africa, by a passen- ger named O’Donnell. The prison commis- sioners are carefully investigating the story of the man, whom they have subjected to a most searching examination, and are en- deavoring to secure proof of his statements. They refuse to divulge the prisoner’s name or to furnish any information regarding him. None of the persons concerned in the mur- ders of Lord Leitrim and Lord Mountmorris wereever caught. ~ GENERAL FOREIGN NFWS, DIAMOND ROBBERY ON BOARD A PACIFIC MAIL STEAMER. PANAMA, Aug. 1,—The steamship San Jose of the Pacific Mall Steamship tine, com- manded by Capt. Russell, arrived here last night, having left Sam Francisco, July 15, for Panama, by way of Acapulco. The vessel was at Acapulco on the 22d. The passengers were not allowed to land, and there was con- siderable excitementon the steamship when it was learned that the restriction was owing to a reported large theft of money and jewelry. One of the passengers, it appears, intrusted several bags containing money and gems, amounting In value altogether to $13,500, tothe purser, who has been thirty- two years in the service of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. and whose integrity is re- garded as above suspicion. The money and valuables were stolen on the voyage, but by whom is a mystery. The police came on board and made a search among both the passengers and crew, but without satisfac- tory results so far as known. ' DECISIONS REVERSED. OTTAWA, Ontario, ..ug. & —There is consid- erable excitement among Roman Catholics overthe judgment onthe Manitoba school case by the Imperial Privy Council, the high- est court in the British Empire. British cablegrams indicate that the decision over- rules the Judgment of the Dominion Supreme Court and maintains the constitationality of the act passed by the Manitoba Legislature abolishing Catholic separate schools in that Province. A test case_resulted in the refusal of the Winnipeg Catholics to pay taxes in support of the public schools. The Catholics won in all the inferior courts until they reached the Privy Council. —’ BRIEF CABLEGRAMS. Cholera has broken out in Toungoo, Bur- mah.

GOVERNMENT WORK SACRIFICED FoR THE WORLD'S FAIR BILL a *, Pour Days’ Extenston ofthe Appropria- ' tions Secured as a Cencession from the Minority—An Unprecedented Situa- tion in Public Affairs—Sharp Exchange in Debate—Washington News. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 1.—In the House to-day the first business in order was the resolution presented by Mr. Holman to ex- tend the Government appropriations for four days. He explained the neces- sity for the appropriations, and said the House was confronted with a peculiar situation. The gentleman from Ill- nois (Mr. Hopkins) had stopped the wheels of the Government by objecting to the consid- eration of the resolution on saturday last. Never before in the history of the Govern- ment had such a state of affairs existed. He wanted to bulidoge the House and s0 ob- jected. Mr. Reed of Maine followed with a charac- teristic speech and said the blame or failure to pass the sundry civil bill rested with the Democratic majority and the flibus- terers against the World’s Fair, Mr. Holman was responsible in a tlaige degree for the present condition of things. The appropriation for the World’s Fair had the sanction of the Senate and also of 140 members of the House, and there was nothing urged against it ex- cept the miserable technicality that some think it ought not to be in am appropriation bill. The gentleman from Indiana had the boldness to stand up here and charge his sins on other men. A House with 140 Democratic majority cer- tainly was responsibie for legislation, and yet Mr. Holman had blamed this matter upon the other side. Mr. McCreary (Dem.) of Kentucky said the fault lay with the World’s Fair advyo- Cates. They wanted the Dill to fail ifthey did not get this money... The people of the country were to be robbed for the World’s Fair. The situation was anomalous and the country knew who was responsible for block- ing the wheels of the Government. Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania said the Democratic majority was able to transact public business, but they had signally failed to do so, not only in this instance, but in many others. They must answer to the House, the people and the country. There was ho purpose on his side of the House to delay public business. No responsibility should rest on the Republicans for this act. Mr. Holman had seen fit to filfbuster against this bill after the House had passed upon it. The business of the Government would go on with the aid of the Republicans, even though the gentle- men constituting the majority, and a quorum, should absent themselves from public duty [Applause from galleries]. Mr. Holman said this measure was placed in an appropriation bill contrary to the ruies of both houses of Congress. The centennial exhibition hppropriation was made by the passing ofa separate bill. The Senate now in dadeflance of had placed this Fair appro- priation upon the sundry civil bill. On the vote on the conference report the House repudiated this measure as not prop- erly onan appropriation bill. A majority of thirteen votes defeated it. The commit- tee had never been instructed. When a change ofonly seven votes afterwards oc- curred the object or the measure was ap- proved by the House and a motion was made toreconsider. The House hada right to reconsider its own action. This was an important matter, involving millions of money,the largest amount Congress was ever calle upon to vote from the public treasury for an exposition. The gentle- man from fIilinois (Mr. Hopxins) had seen fit to stop the Government printing of- fice, shutup the lighthouses and endanger human life onthe coast by objecting tothe resolution for extending the appropriation. Mr. Cummings of New York said: ‘Mr. rules - Speaker, the wheels of the Government were stopped by the objection of the Kepublican member from liinois (Mr. Hopkins). The rovisions of the lastsundry civil bill have een extended once. Why did not the gen- tleman object to it then? He objects to it now because he has his Chicagocroupier in ‘the public treasury and wants to rake - from Lllinois. , cratic $5,000,000 from it.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 1.—There promises to be a fight in the coming Democratic State Coéfivention over the question of nominating a candidate for United States Senator. Sena- tor Vilas went through the campaign two years ago as the ‘‘indorsed’’. can- didate and he had no trouble when the Legis- lature gotready tochoose a successor to John C. spooner. Gen. Edward 8. Bragg wants to be next United States Senator from this State and he would much prefer making Aa fight before the convention. But there are many Democrats who do not favor bKBragg’s candidacy but who do not wish to oppose him until alter the fallelection. Forthis reason they are opposed to having the State Convention nominate or indorse a candidate for Senator. Bragg and his friends knowall this and they have resolved to makea fight in the conven- tion, believing that in case the convention does take action it will nominate Bragg, LAID TO REST.

He is becom- ing more prostrated, and it is be- lieved, should the Governor decline to interpose a commutation of the death sen- tence to imprisonment for Hfe, that he will not live to the fatal day. He is actin strangely and walks the corridor in front o his iron cellin his night dress, carrying a rye and muttering incoherently as he walks. tis possible thatthe ay of present insanity any J be hela before the Criminal Court, and an investigation similar to that in the Alice Mitchell case be had, Many believe that he will commit’ suicide before the day of execution, but a death watch will be placed on him some time this week, tobe kept up day and night till the i7th.

From the Detroit Free Press. The attorney prosecuting in a breach of promise ease was youthful and fresh and de- ighted in spaghtbny J himself off, but he didn’t know what a guy he was until it fell on him with a dull and sickening thud. The defend- ant had taken the stand. ‘*You say,’’ suid the attorney, after several impertinent questions, ‘‘that you never asked the plaintiff to be your wite?’’ ‘*Never,’’ responded the witness, with emphasis. **But you made love to her?’’ ‘*Not to my knowledge. ’’ **Never called her pet names either, I sup- se Le *-No, sir.’”’ ‘*Now, as a matter of fact, didn’t you .call her Lizzie after you had been to see her onl three or fourtimes and always after that, when you knew you should have called her Miss Smith, if you had not been seeking to win her young and trusting heart?’’ **No, sir, I did not.’’ The plaintiff pulled the attorney’s sleeve, but he paid no attention to her. ‘*Ah, indeed,’’ wou sarcasticaily. ‘‘I pre- sume you never called her Lizzie in your life?*’ ‘*I never did, sir.’’ Again the plaintiff caught at the attorney, but he ignored her, ‘*Now, once more, sir, ask you directly to state to the court whether you did or did not call this young lady by the endearing name of Lizzie? Remember, sir, you are on your oath,’’ and the attorney reared back in his chair, while the plaintif? made another inef- fectual clutch at him. The defendant smiled slightly. **I never did,’’ he said, firmly. The attorney sat forward with a crack of the chair legs on the floor. **I’d like to Know why you never did, sir?’’ he asked, with the air of a man who knew he had the facts. **Because,’’ and the witness was as cool as a palmieaf fan could make him In June; ‘‘be- cause that wasn’t her name.’’ Then it was the attorney heeded the plain- tiff’s wild clutchings and wanted to hit bim- selfin the neck with a law book, but it was everlastingly too late, sharp -_——_- FORBIDDEN TO USE SEA WATER. A Curious Consequence Resulting From ea Salt Tax. : From the Scientific American. One of the curious ways the French Govern- ment has for obtaining its revenue is told by Edmund Yates in the the New York Tribune. In confirmation of Mr. Yates’ story, one of the editors of this paper had like experience on the shore of the Mediterranean some years ago. The Goctor who was in attendance ona member of the writer’s family desired his patient to have sea-water baths daily at the hotel. But before the attendant dire to dip even a pail of water from the sea a permit from the prefect of the police had to be ob- tained, and to get his permission it required the physician’s certificate. A well-known English public man, writes Mr. Yates, member ofa former administra- tion, stayinginoneof the many quiet and pretty villages on the Riviera, the garden of histemporary home running down two the sea, ona recent morning. so the story runs, wished to vary his usual bedroom Dath by substituting salt water for fresh, and asked thata pailful be fetched for him. To his intense amazement he was informed that this could not be done without special permission from thecivil power. There was the Medi- terranean stretching broadly before his bed- room window, countless miles from east to west, and away again toward Oorsica in the south as far as the eye could reach, and at the end of the garden, mind you, and yet as much of itas wold fill an ordinary pail must not be taken fromit. It wastvo absurd for belief. It turned out to be quite true, however. Not aservant nor a Villager could be induced to draw afew quarts outof the sea for fear of the penalties which would follow, and in the endthe official permission of the Mayor of the village had tobe formally sought and granted before the English politician could have a salt water sitz bath. The tax on salt was at the root of this anomaly, and the stringent restriction was to prevent the na- tives from boiling down sea waterand mak- ing salt for themselves. ANIMALS’ VIEW OF MAN. It Is Claimed They Fear the Savage More Than the Civilized Being. From the Popular Science Monthly. Savace man, who has generally been first in contact with animals, is usually a hunter, and therefore an object of dislike to the other hunting animals and of dread to the hunted. But civilized man, with his supply of* bread and beef, is not necessarily a hunter, and it is ust conceivable that he might be content to eave the animals in a newly discovered country unmolested and condescend, when not bétter em ores. to watch thelr attitude toward himself. The impossible island in ‘*The Swiss Fam- fly Robinson,’’ in which half the animals of the two hemispheres were collected, would be an ideal place for such an experiment, But, unfortunately, uninbabited islands sel- dom contain more than a few species, and those generally birds or sea beasts: and in newly-discovered game regions savage man has generally been before us with his arrow, spears and pitfalls. Some,instances of the first contact of animals with man have, however, been preserved in the ac- counts of the early voyages collected by Hakluyt and others, though the hungry navi- gators were generally more intenton victual- ing their ships with the unsuspecting beasts and birds, or on noting those which would be useful commodities for ‘‘trafficke’’ than in cultivating friendly relations with the anli- mal habitants of the newly discovered islands. Munson Is Hopeful. ‘*“*‘What’s the matter with the Browns?’’ was asked of Secretary Munson this morn- ing. ‘*Well, their poor showing is due to two causes, either one of which Is sufficient to ac.- count for defeat. In the first place, outside of the first Boston game, in no two games dia they do any hitting worth speaking of, They averaged a fraction over two hits to a game, and while Gleason and Gal. vin were pitching their arms off to win, they were badly handicapped by the r backing they got, especially in not smashing the ball occasionally. Had the Browns com- mitted some overt act in public life and gone up against a whitewash committee they could not have come out with a cleaner score than they did on a half dozen occasions on this trip, Then, again, their playing has been of the individual order, with but little effort to pull together. For some reason Crooks’ captaincy methods became distasteful and he did not succeed in getting good re- sults. The greater portion of the success of a ball team in these speedy days of playing is in the ability of the captain to get his men pulling together, You see but few really successful captain. True, we're in last place to- Gay, but before a week will have we will be flying pretty high—with the assist- ance of our newly acquired Hawke.’’ **Gleason, who has been our mainstay in the box, has ener. complained o RK team, r PAINTERS MEET. Their Annual National Convention Opened Up To-Day. OVER ONE HUNDRED DELEGATES REP. RESENTING MANY IMPORTANT CITIES. Proposition to Make This the Last Na- tional Convention to Be Warmly De bated—Fight Ower the Proposed Re- moval of the Headquarters From Bal- timore—To Be in Session a Week. The third biennial National Convention of the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators of America was called to order at 1 o’clock p. m. to-day by the General President, George A. Thompson, in the ball on the third floor of 80642 Olive street. There were over a hundred delegates pres- ent, representing many important cities throughout the country, the most prominent being those from Ciicago, Indianapolis, Cin- cinnati, New York and S&t. Louis. The Chicago delegation, eleven strong, were conspicuous about the headquarters at the St. James Hoteland on the streets by their large purple badges and white plug hats. The report that this would probably be the last Biennial national convention, and that the national body would only assemble in the future at such times as the emergencies of the brotherhood demanded, was generally discussed before the convention met and judging from the expressions of opinion given there is likely to be a fight over the proposition when it is presented. Another lively tilt is expected when the resolution to change the present head- quarters from Baitimore tosome other city is introduced. Chicago, which has about 2,100 members, and Cincinnati with 800, the two cities standing foremost in numerical Strengthin the brotherhood, will strongly protest against Baltimore belagthe seat of the national headquarters. In this city there are six local branches and these, with the one in East St. Louls and Alton, will makea Hight for St. Louis. THE CONVENTION OPENS. The first act of the President upon assem- bling was to appoint the Committee on Cre- dentials, which was as follows: J. M. Me- Kenny, Chicago; FP. Greenwald, East St. Louis; Lou Weisel, Indiana; Dan J. Halleck, } Illinols, and Wm, T, Neritt, Kansas City. The committee was then instructed to re- port as soon as possibie. Upon the arrival or cting Mayor Walbridge, who had been asked to deliver the address of welcome, he was introduced by Mr. Hughes of the local unions and said that he had already had the pleasure this morning of a‘dress- ing the Carpenters and Joiners in convention assembled, and the thought had occurred to him that one address should naturally pre cede the other, as the house must.be built be- fore it is painted. They had hoped to pre- pare a suitable and appropriate address, but is duties preventedit. Representatives of industrial organizations were appreciative of such efforts, and it Was _ con- ceded now that the thinking classes were largely represented in them. He favored such organization because a man to win must help his brothers, and he believed la- boring men to achieve theirrights must stand together. He would then, not as an individ- ual, butas the representative official of St. Louis, extend to the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators a warm and hospitable wel- come, The city was renowned for his hospitality to conventions, and he would impress upon them the fact that her citizens were not the least suspicious of the actions of any indus- trial unions like the sent. He was sure the main object of their convention was to protect themselves and to _ protect against disorder, In ¢Gonclusion, he hoped their effort would be, directed towards the bettering of their own interests, without do- ing injury to any other class of citizens. The President madea brief reply, and then a recess was taken toawait the report of the Committee on Credentials. IN SESSION A WEEK. The convention will be in session abont five or six days. There willbea mass-meet- ing held at Turner Halil to-morrow night, when Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, will deliver an address. On Wednesday evening the District Council of the Brotherhood will tender the delegates and their friends an excursion down the river on the steamer Grand Republic,and Thursday evening the localunions will give them a banquet.

An Important Congress of Scientists to Be Held at Brussels. | alist in educa- fora re- Dr. Arthur MacDonald, s tion as related to crimin | classes, United States Bureau of Education Washington, D. C., . sppesate official representatiy e of the United States to attend the inte congress for experi- mental psychology at London and also the international congress upon criminology at Brussels. The congress at Brussells, says Sctence, . i and soetology. The congress is ex- tremoly onemepoliten not ony asto nation. alities, but Inthe different Bs pov elgpenstae of knowledge wisich it Includes. ' The criminal must be studied asa member of the race, and this gives rise to the new science of criminal anthropology, or, im short, criminology. Here such questions will be discussed as whether there is a criminal type distinguished by shape of cranium and face, anatomy of ears and nose, size of or- bits and length of jaws. Another important question under this head is whetherthe crim- inal is born so or becomes so from hfs sur- roundings. In this division of the programme are the names ofthe eelebrared Cesare Lom- broso, professor of legal medicine at Turin and Dr. Brovardel, president of the medica facalty at Paris, and Prof. Ferri, Senator at Rome, But the criminal must be studied paycholosically, that is, asto the nature of is mind and will, and their relation insanity insanity. Among thase speak in the congress on tai phere of crim- inality are Dr. Magnan, chief physician of the Saint Ann Insane Asylum of Paris; Dr. Benedikt, the celebrated crantologist at the University of Vienna, and the et French writer and legalist, Judge Tarde. Another and very important side of the crim - inal is included under the head of ‘‘Oriminal Sociology.’’ This takes up crime in history and politics, the Influence of profession and trade on criminality and their determination of penalty. But there is a practical as well as scientific point of view in the study Of the criminal. This will becon- sidered in the congress under the title of ‘‘Legal and Administrative Applications of Criminal Anthropology.’’ Thus Dr. All- mena of Naples will discuss what measures are applicable to incorrigible criminals. Then there are the general and fundamental principles of the schoot of criminal anthro- ology, which will be considered by Dimtri rillof Moscow. Dr. Manouvrier, a profes- sor intbe Schoolof Anthropology at Paris, is to read a paper on the ‘‘innate- ness and Heredit of Braxelles on ‘‘The Functional Ca Crime;’’ Dr. Sernal on ‘‘Suicide and Insanity in Criminals,’’ The distinguished Lacas- sagne, Professor at the University of Lyons, will speak on ‘‘The Primordial Sentiments In Criminals,’’ and Dr. Ma ay Applications of Anthropology to Civil w. ’? specialists in criminology, but those in med- icine, insanity, law, psy chology, anthropal- ogy, and sociology, all will consider the criminal from their respective points of view. The Congress for experimental psychology represents the prece- dent tendency of applying scl- entific methods to study the relation be tween mind and body, or mind and brain, subjects which are ofas much interest and importance in the case of criminals as of normaimen, Thisis Ulustrated by the new psycho-physical instrument called the lethysmograph, which tndicates the least ncrease in blood tn the arterfes of the arm. Thus it has been found that when the sen- tence of the judge is read before the criminal there is a decrease in the flow of blood inthe arm, but the sight of a glass of wine increases the flow; when, for example, it is required to multiply nine times seventy- three an increase in blood flowis the result. The flow is little affected in a brutal murderer or born criml- nal when a pistol is shown to him, whereas in the normal man the plethysmograph indi- cates a decided effect. The importance of this new instrument lies in this, that invol- untary téstimonyis given as to the nervous and physical nature of the criminal. It ts often unknown to him, and in spite of him. self. Dr. MacDonald, after attending these congresses, will visit and study a few of the principal prisons and charitable institutions in Engiand, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. Dr. MacDonald’s, entitled ‘*Criminology,’’ will soon be published by Funk & Wagnalls of New York. It ts dedicated to Prof. Lom- broso, who writes the introduction and who himself is the founder of the new science, to COIN-COUNTING BY ELECTRICITY. A Curious Machine in Use in the London Mint. From the Scientific American. In the London Mint, itis stated in the mas- ter’sreport just published, a new counting machine for telling bronze coin has been erected in the bronze store. It was designed by Messrs. Maudsley, Sons & Field, Limited. The machine has four distinct sets of ¢ount- ing apparatus, each of which can be worked independently of the other, and when all four sre in full work upward of 3,000 pence can be counted per minute. The coin tobe told is raised to the level of twotables placed on a platform bya lift worked by an electric motor, which also drives the counting machines. A pair of .these machines is fed from each of the two tables, the coins passing from the table down an inclined iron plate forming a flat hopper, from which they Issue in single file through achannel of appropriate width, They are then gripped by a pair of India rubber driving wheels, which foree the coins past the rim ofa thin disk provided with recesses in its cireumfer- ence to fit the circular 6@ges of the coins. As the disk is thus madeto revolve, the coins are pushed forward, falling intoa bag laced to receive them, and continues to advance until the counting wheel is automatically stopped and the bag containing the coins is removed.

The Peculiar Game Worked by Strider in St. Louis and at Clifton Heights—His Double Identity—Cases in the Criminal Court—Before Judge Claiborne—Polics News. Officer Nace of the Mounted [olice District arrested J. B. Strider about 10:3) last night and locked him up, and to-day he was transferred to jail on two charges of fraud. Strider is the man who has been passing bogus checks in the western suburbs, representing himself tobe a member of the real estate firm of Strider & Hall. After he had induced a num.- ber of West End merchants to take his bogus checks, the Post-Dispatcn showed thatthe real estate firm of Strider & Hall was a myth. Strider or some other person telephoned the morning papers one night’ that Hall had died that night. of tpjuries received in a runaway accident while driving out to Ferguson a few hours be- fore. The Post-DIsPaTtcH investigated the matter and found that no such accident had occurred and that Strider had been going under two or three different names. This afternoon two warrants for fraud were issued against Strider, one for swindling Frank Kershaw of 6802 New Man- chester road out of $14 and the other for defrauding Charles F. Slevers of 2661 King’s highway of $27. On both of these gentlemen he passed worthless checks on the German-American Bank of this city. Other warrants will probably be sworn out to-morrow, as he is alleged to have beaten John Board out of $17 and obtained different sums inthe same way from several other residents of Benton Sta- tion, Cheltenham and vicinity. 5ome of these checks were signed E. E. Alexander and made payable to order of R. M. Jordan. They elther in- dorsed by J. B. Strider or i J.

A deputy sheriff took possession of the store, THE MULE CAME HOME. He Had to Go Five Hundred Miles But He Got There.

He placed a young hegro named Plunk in charge and shipped to him, via the lMlinois Central Railroad, a mule. This mule was one that ‘Bill Zack’’ haa raised some etght years before, and was a fine specimen of the breed. He was'long in ears, short in tajland had as much pent-up wickedness as did the original mule titat tradition says is to be found somewhere in~ the South. ‘The distance in a direct Hne that the mule had to travel by raiinoad is 380 miles.

The Old Man Said to Have Recovered His Reason and to Have Taken the Course He Did on a Distinct Understanding That He Would Be Saved From Penal Servitude. M. OC. Barthel, the ex-manager of the Con- cordia Publishing Co., pleaded guilty in the Criminal Court this morning to one of the indictments for embezzlement against him, and the other two cases were then coutinued generally. Messrs. Henry Kortjohn and William E, Fisse, the attorneys who claimed on Saturday to be the attorneys of Barthei and protested against the court’s acceptance of a plea from their client, were in court again this morning, but they sat quietly by and witnessed the entire proceedings without sayingaword. When the case was called up Circuit Attorney Clover announced that Mr. Barthel was present and represented by an attorney, Mr. Wislezenus. Mr. Wislezenus stepped forward and stated that while Mr. Barthel had asked him to rep- resent him in court to-day he had declined on account of the trouble which occured on Sat- urday. Judge Normile said that Mr. Barthel should be represented by counsel. It wasthe cus- tom of the Court to require all persons pleading to be represented by counsel, and to sel the attorneys when the defendants did elect them themselves. Hs asked Mr. Wislezenus if he considered the defend- ant in possession of his mental faculties and the answer was made that he did. That was the impression although he had not seen very much of him. In their conversation yesterday he appeared to be rationalenough. Judge Normileat this point called on Stenographer Johnson to make note of the proceedings in the case and again called on Circuit Attorney Clover. Mr. Clo- ver, who just had a talk with Barthel, stated that the defendant desired to plead guilty, and that was the wish alsoof his wife and brother-in-law. Mr. Harry Shinkle, the brother-in-law, was then called upand asked a number of qgues- tions. He,corroborated Mr. Clover’s state- ments, and said that Barthel fully under- stood the consequences of a pleaof guilty to embezziement. Mr. Wislezenus made another statement, repeating whathe had said before Stenog- rapher Johnson got outhis note-book, and the prisoner wastoldtostandup. He arose and stepped forward to the Clerk’s desk. PLEADS GUILTY. **Is it your desire to enter a plea of gullty?’’ asked the court. ‘*Yes, sir,’’ replied Barthel. **Do you know the consequence of sucha plea?’’ ‘*Yes, sir.’’ **You know the nature of the charge?’’ *ye0."" **You have consulted with your family about it?’’ **Yes.’’ *‘*You have advised with your family fully in regard to it, and they understand the con- sequences?’’ cé Yes. ’, **Nobody has coerced you to this?’’ ‘ ‘No. a? *? ~ is your vcluntary action?’’ ee "es. >? Mr. Bishop said that the defendant wished to plead guilty to only oneof the indict- ments. The first of the three cases docketed was selected for the plea and the indictment was reac to Barthel. He withdrew his former plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty tothe charge. Mr. Bishop then asked that sentence in the case deferred, and the Court so ordered. ‘lhe other two cases were then continued generally, which means thatthey willnever be heard. Mr. Bishop said that the ends of justice would be served by this course, Mr. Barthel having turned over all of his property to the Concordia Publishing Co, e moved that the defendant be released on hisown recognizance in the sum of $100, and this wasalso done. WILL NOT BE SENTENCED. If the present intention of the Circuit At- torney is carried out Barthel wil! never be sentenced. The Directors of the Concordia Publishing Co. were in court with their attorney, ex- Gov. Johnson, but took no partinthe pro- ceedings. After court adjourned Mr. Fisse was asked why he and Mr. Kortjohn had not protested against the proceedings, and he said because of Mr. Barthel’s attitude toward them. They were still of the opinion they were Saturday, but, asthe defendant would not recognize them as his attorneys,they could do nothing. $12.00 to Denver and Return Via Missouri Pacific Railway.

It appears that the Burke woman rents from Mrs. Karly and owes her $2 rent and that the row was in regard tothe pie oy of this rent.

Brown Closes His Doors and Others Likely to Follow His Example—A Pe- culilar Exchange and Its Effects— Boasts Made That It Cannot Be Com- pelled to Suspend Business. For years the boards of trade of the coun- try, especially the Chicago Board of Trade, have been fighting the bucket-shops, and en- deavoring to prevent them from trans- acting business. These efforts have not been crowned with success, and it was believed that the bucket- shops would have to be tolerated. 7 An in- stitution known as the St. Louis Public Stock Exchange bids fair to.accompliish what the united efforts of the boards of trade have been unable to do, namely, to close the bucket-shops. A PECULIAR EXCHANGE. The Public Stock Exchange is located directly opposite the Pine street entrance of the Chamber of Commerce building. Upon its boards stocks of all kinds are quoted and the prices vibrate with most startling rapidity. As an enthusiastic patron remarked, faro did not give as quick action, and as many opportufties ef mak- ing or losing money rapidly is af- forded by deals on the Public Stock Exchange. Mining stocks, generally very obscure ones, are largely dealt in, and the ground and lofty tumbling of prices is sum- cient to take away the breath of the most ex- perienced speculator. It is this institution that bids fair to prove fatal to the bucket-* shops. KILLING THE BUCKETSHOPS. Ever since it started there has been a marked diminution in the amount of: busi- ness transacted by the bucketshops, and their patrons have nearly universally transferred their custom to the Public Stock Exchange, where quotations are made unhampered by the movements in any other market. Many were inclined to regard the new Exchange as little, ifat all better than a gam- bling establishment, and the case was presented to the last Grand-jury. The refusal of the ‘‘little four’’ tofindan indict- ment was one of the chief causes that led to the dispute which resultedin the discharge of the jury. Then it became known that no indictment would be found the bucket-shops were in despair. To-day ¥F. J. Brown’s place of bus!i- ness was closed, he givingas a reason that there was nochance of successful competi- tion with such a concern. This leaves but two bucket-shops in the Chamber of Commerce building, Wiseman’s and Shelton and Schroader’s. Both of these were nearly deserted, while the Public Stock Exchange was thrunged. is general opinion that lack of ness will compel these also close their doors. In the establishments representing Murphy, the Chicago bucket- shop king, the same state of inactivity pre- valiled. NO FEAR OF THE LAW. Inguiry was made by the owners as tothe prospect of the public Stock Exchange being able to continue. A gentleman largely in- terested in the new exchange laughed to scorn all threats of causing operations to be suspended by legal process. In reply to statements that the institution would be closed as a gambling house, he replied that arrangements had been made which would revent any interference on the part of he police before spring. The action, or rather the inaction, of the Grand-jury has ied many to the belief that this claim is well founded and it fs likely that by the middle of the month there will not be a bucketshop in St. Louls.

LOUIS MAN’S ROMANCE, How a Little Woman From New York Won an Old Bachelor. From the Minneapolis Journal. The echo ofan almost forgotten romance was heard in the air around Excelsior yester- day. A couple got off the train who seemed to excite a good deal of interest among regu- lar residents. The man was tall, erect and apparently about 80 years old. His com- panion looked less than 18, but was probably 20, from the fact that she met her husband three years ago on the very spot where they sat last night, a sedate married couple. It was in 1889 that these two people met. The middle-aged man was then referred toas ‘*the wealthy Dachelor from St. Louis,’’ and his wife was Known among the hotel people as ‘‘the old man’s darling.’’ She came from New York, where her only relative, a brother, who accompanied her, was in bus!i- ness. The St. Louls man took a great fancy to her, as, in fact; did everyone else, for she was a pretty little thing, with her big brown eyes and great coils of deep auburn hair; litheas a kitten too, and in- cessantly onthe go, Before she came the St. Louis man usedto keep pretty close tothe house and smoke numberless cigars In a soll- tary sortofway. He read allthe St. Louits papers and occasionally wrote a batch of letters, but all efforts on the part of the gueststo get him interested in card parties or sailing expeditions failed. He was too old for that sort of thing, he said, and would much rather stay at home if they would excuse him. Then all at once, there came an addition to the hotel guestro!1, none other than the sunny hatred girl from New York. She was very sedate fora couple of days. Ittook that long to get acquainted with the crowd, but after that the fair New Yorker was leader in every undertaking of the summering city folks. ‘*Why doesn’t your bachelor friend join us sometimes?’’ she Inquired one evening, of another girl. ‘*‘Oh,he’sa recluse ; never goes anywhere,’’ was the answer. Instantly the brown eyes opened wide, and there wasa determined expression on the face of the first questioner. ‘‘You see ifI don’t make bim come,’’ she said, as without an instant’s hesitation, she approached the Well-preserved specimen of middle-aged manhood, No one knew what she said to him, but everyone does know that after the bachelor from St. Louts had shaken his head in evident refusal of her invitation for about ten minutes, he suddenly arose and offering his arm, stepped offin the direction of the dock ata aver rate.

Judge Valliant granted a final decree to-day inthe case of John G. Priest, trustee, and others against Sophia M. Capitain and others on application to sellatract of land at Hill- side on the Wabash Railroad. The tract con- tains about twenty-nine acres, and is located on Plymouth avenue near the St. Louls & Suburban Electric Ratiroad, and belongs to Mrs. Sophia M. Capitain, who is in California, and is alleged to be of unsound mind. An agreement was presented to the court, signed by A. R. Stewart, who offers to purchase the property for $48,000, and a decree allowing the property to be sold was entered. In Memory of Judge Pike. An adjourned meeting of the St. Louis bar was held in Judge Valliant’s court-room this morning to take action on the death of Judge Bennett Pike. Judge Thomas Portis acted as chairman,and John M. Dickson was secretary. Resolutions eulogistic of the dead lawyer were adopted, a copy of which was ordered sent to Judge Pike’s family. The resolutions touched on Judge Pike’s career while on the State Circuit bench and while occupying the postion of Federal District Attorney. His -high standing as a private practitioner was also noted and his strict integrity. Acom- mittee composed of Judge Portis, Col, D. P. Dyer, W. C. Marshall and H. §8.

Justice of the Peace James McCaffery filed & sult to-day against Abigail Tiernan, Nicho- las Tiernan, Elizabeth Tiernan, his wife, and Horatio D, Wood, trustee of Elizabeth Tier- nan, asking to have certain conveyances of roperty set aside. The plaintiff alleges that efendant Nicholas Tiernan went on the bona of James Manley as Con- stable of the Sixth District on Nov. 10, 1886, and that on Dec. 8, 1891, a judgment for $653.69 was rendered in favor of the plaintiff_against Manley and Tiernan. On June 9, 1892, it is alleged, the Interest of Tiernan in two lots on Finney avenue was sold to satisfy the judgment and the interest bought in by McCaffery. On March 19, 1888, it is alleged, Tiernan conveyed the property without any consideration to Abigail Tier- nan,who, it is alleged, conveyed it to Horatio D. Wood in trust for Elizabeth Tiernan. McCaffery asks to have the conveyance de- = void and the title vested in the plain- Mandamus Cases Argued.

And when not long alterward his prayers were granted, he called to witness that he wished to ob- tain from God that these sovereigns, sustained by his help and his mercy, should persevere in causing the Gospel to penetrate upon new slgfts and new lands.’’ He conceived in the same manner the pla ing Alexander VI. tor the apostolic blessing }y a let- ing in which these words are found: ‘‘I hop@.that it ter | some day be given to me, with the hel rod, wilpropagate afar the very holy name of Jesus:Christ tod his gospel.’’ Also can one imagine him al) filled anth the joy when he wrote to Raphael Sanchez, the wist whom the Indies had returned to Lisbon, that immortal action of grace must be rendered to God in that he had deigned to catse to prosper } the enterprise so well; and that Jesus Christ could rejoice and triumph upon earth and in heaven for the coming salvation of in numerable people who previously had been go- ing to their ruin; that if Columbus also asks of Fer- dinand and Isabellato permit only Catholic Chris- tians to goto the new world, there to accelerate trade with the natives, he supports this motive by the fact ’*By his enterprise and efforts he has not sought for anything else than the glory and the develop- went of the Christian religion. ’’ This was what was perfectly known to Isabella, who, betterthan any other person, had penetrated the mind of such a great man; much more, it ap- pears that this same plan was fully adopted by this very pious woman of great heart and manly mind. She bore witness, in effect, of Columbus, thatin courageously giving himself up to the vast ocean, he realized for the divine glory a most signal enter- prise, and to Columbus himself, when he had hap- pily returned, she wrote that she esteemed as having een highly = red the resources which she had consecrated and which she would still consecrate to the expeditions in the Indies in view of the fact that the propagation of Catholicism would result from them. Also if he had notinspired himself from a cause superior to human interests, where then would he have drawn the constancy andthe strength of soul to support what he was obliged to the end to endure and to submit to, thatis tosay the unpropitious ad- vice of the learned people, the repulses of princes the tempests of the furious ocean, the continua watches during which he than losing his sight. combats sustained the infidelities companions, the vyillainous conspira- cies, the perfidiousness of the envious, the calum- nies of the traducers, the chains with which, after all, though innocent, he wasloaded. It was inevit- able that a man overwhelmed witha burden of trials s0 great and so intense would have succumbed had he not sustained himself by the consciousness of ful- filling a very noble enterprise, which he conjectured would be glorious for the Christian name and salu- tarv for an infinite multitude. And the enterprise so carried outis admirably il- lustrated by the events of that time. In effect Columbus discovered America at about the period when a great net was going to unchain itself againstthechurch. Inasmuch as thatit is r- m.tted by the course of events to appreciate the wants of divine Providence it really seems that the man for whow Liguria honors herself was destined by aspecial plan of God tocompensate Catholicisih for the injury it was going to suffer in Europe. Tocallthe Indian race to Christianity—this was, without doubt, the mission and the work of the church. In this mission, commenced from the be- inning, she continued to fulfill it with an unin- errupted course of charity, and she still continues it, having advanced herself recently as far as the ex- tremities of Patagonia.

Lauding the Name and Great Work of Christopher Columbus. Rome, Aug. 1.—The following is the text of the letter addressed by Leo XIII. tothe Archbishops and Bishops of Spain, Italy and the two Americason the subject of Christo- pher Columbus. Venerable brothers, greeting and apostolic bene- diction. From the end of the fifteenth century, sinceaman from Ligurin first landed, under the anspices of God, on the transatlantic shores, humanity has been strongly inclined to celebrate with gratitude the recollection of this event. It would certainly not be an easy matter to find a more worthy event to touch their hearts and to inflame their zeal. Theevent, in effect is such in itself that no other epoch has seen a grander and more beautiful one accomplished by man. As to he who accomplished it, there are few who can be compared to him in greatness of soul and of genius. Ly his wozvk a new worid flashed forth from the unexplored oceans, thousands upon thousands of mortals were returned tothecommon society of the human race, led from their barbarous life to peacefulness and civilization, and, which is of much more importance, recalled from perdition to eternal life by the be- move of the gifts which Jesus Christ pvrought to the world, Europe, astonished alike by the novelty and the prodigiousness of this unexpected event, under- stood little by little in due course of. time what she owed to Columbus, when, by sending colonies to America, by frequent communications, by exchange of services, by the resources confided to the sea and receivedin return, there was discovered an acces- sion of the most favorable nature possiblg to the knowledge of nature, to the reciprocal abun@ance of riches, with the result that the prestige of Europe increased enormously. Therefore it would not be fitting among these nu- merous testimonials of honor and in these concerts of felicitations that the church should matntain complete silence, since, in accordance with her character and institutions, she willingly approves and endeavors to favor all that appears, whereverit isto be worthy of honor ana praise. Undoubtedly she receives particular and supreme honors to the virtues pre-eminent in regard to morality, inas- much asthey united to the eternal salvation of souls; nevertheless she does not despise the rest, neither does she abstain fromesteemiug them as they deserve; it is even her habjt to favor with all her power and to alway: have in honor those who have well merited of human society, and who have passed to posterity. Certainly God is admirable in his saints, but the vestige of his divine virtue appears imprinted in those in whom shinesa superior force of soul and mind, for this elevation of heart and this spark of genius could only come from God, their author and protector. It is in addition an entirely special reason for which we beleve we should commemorate in a gtate- ful spirit thisammortal event. It is that Columbus is one ofus. When one considers with what. motive above all he undertook the plan of exploring the dark seaand with what object he endeavored to realize this plan, one cannot doubt thatthe Catholic faith superlatively inspired the enterprise and its execution sv that by this title aiso humanity is pot a | little indebted to the church. There are, without donbt, many men of hardihood and full of experience who, before Christopher Col- umbus and after him, explored, with persevering efforts, unknown lands across, seas still more un- known. ‘heir memory is ceiebrated, and will be so by the renown and recollection of their good deeds, seeing that tney have extended the frortiers of science and civilization, and that not at the price of slight efforts, but with a very excited ardor of +pirit and often through extreme perils. It is not the iess true that thereisavery great difference between th this escort piety, we them’ and he of whom we speak. The eminently this, in reality, things which distinctive point in Columbus is that, in cross- | are well known; but which are none the less ree ing the immense markabie, in order to show forth the mind and the r) followed an ect 7 when compelled and more elevated than the others. thout say, doubtless, that he was not in any way influenced by the very praiseworthy desire to be master of sci- of opportune tion.

If he can invoke the law to protect the abuses in the Four Courts from public criticism those rights will be swallowed up by the privi- leges of the **push.’’ The people of St. Louis will be defenseless against law- breakers and looters. THE memory of witch-burning has been revived by a celebration of its death in Massachusetts, while the memory of the torture chamber has been freshened by a revival of the thumb-rack for the punish- ment of ‘‘treasonable utterances’’ in Pennsylvania. The people of that State must get on alevel with the rest of the country as to relics of barbarism by punish- ing the men guilty of reviving them. a — «OF a ee ——— Maj.

A bright e Sunday school girl, ina note to the DISPATCH, suggests that the afflic- ons and the sublime patience and poetry thé Mati of Uz should forbid any refer- ce to him as ‘‘a certain wag.’’ SHALL THE PRESS BE SILENCED! It J udge Normile could silence or se- verely punish the Post-DispatcH for crit- icism of notorious abuses in the adminis- tration of justice at the Four Courts he would win the profound gratitude and enthusiastic applause of every rascal in and out of office within the limits of the city of St. Louis. High revelry would rule in the ranks of the ‘‘push,’’ and the law- breakers, thugs, looters, and corruption- ists, who thrive under the protecting egis of the political pull would hail him with joyous acclaim as their benefactor and champion, who had removed the only obstacle to a riotous carnival! of lawlessness | and loot. These men realize more keenly than the honest citizens whose interests they despise that the only check upon political corruption, official rascality and law-defy- ing villainy is the watchful and fearless newspaper. Could the guardian press be cowed into silence by threats or whipped into submission by power-entrenched thuggery, the safeguard of the community against the forces of venality and crimin- ality would be beaten down. The people would be the unprotected prey of looters and law-breakers. The offense with which the Post-D1s- PATCH is charged is that of performing the highest service a newspaper can do for the people by exposing and denouncing public abuses. It pointed out to a judge the fact that an official conspiracy for the defeat of justice extended into his court, and it published convincing evidence that through an unholy combine of political bosses ths enforcement of the law was prevented and law-breakers and thugs were shielded from punishment. Instead of viewing this course as a service, not less kindly and valuable to him than to the public, Judge Normile refused to use his power to put down the conspiracy, but permitted it to flour- ish unrebuked. He not only assumed that the denunciation of its vicious work was an attack upon himself, bit he presumes to deny the right of criticism upon his conduct as an official, He can do as he pleases in the matter of taking responsibility for the abuses in his court, but his attempt to silence the press with regard to them and in behalf of those who profit by them is another matter of vital importance to all citizens. If the law and courts of Missouri place a gag upon the public press, deny the right of free criticism of public officials and punish newspapers for doing their public duty, the State of: Missouri is not a proper loca- tion for decent newspapers nora fit place of residence for respectable citizens. We have no fear, however, of the ulti- mate outcome. No matter what action sympathetic courts may take, we are confi- dent that the people of St. Louis and the State will rebuke this insolence of office asserted in defense of adefiant and cor- rupt combine, and sustain the Post-D1s- PATCH in the exercise of aright of greater value to them than all the other safe guards of free government. —— PENNSYLVANIA ANARCHISTS, Deplorable as the attack upon Mr. Frick was, there is one aspect of the situation which makes the fact that he was the first victim of the group of foreign Anarchistic wretches unearthed by the police of Pitts- burg a logical result of his own conduct. In order to crush American labor organi- zations and grind down wages to the star- yation point, that the millions of himself and his associates might be increased, Mr, Frick brought to Pennsylvania thousands of ignorant and slavish foreigners to take the places of intelligent, self-respecting Americans. These men had been plunged into deepest misery by Old World oppres- sion and class institutions. They had been filled with hatred of wealth and power in any form. They found in Frick’s establishments a form of in- dustrial slavery by which wealth fed upon privileges and fattened upon the labor of others. They saw the Carnegies and Fricks enjoying the special favors of the government, while their workmen were compelled to take the wages they chose to givethem. They saw armed re- tainers shoot down desperate workingmen and the military arm of the State called out to assert rights which cover antece- dent moral, if not legal wrongs. Their ignorance and past experience led them into the delusion that the conditions pre- vailing in this country are similar to those prevailing in oppressive monarchies and that there is no redress here, as there, ex- cept by revolution. Force and cruelty beget force and cruelty. The immoderate piling up of in- dividual wealth through injustice, backed by force and the abuse of the power it brings, encourage violence and the de- struction of life and property in passionate protest. The industrial methods of Frick give stimulation and occasion to the mur- derous methods of Berkman. The food of misguided anarchism is supplied by the Fricks and the murderous bands of assas- sins who degrade the name of liberty are in large measure the harvest of his sowing. Society is bound to preserve his rights and to protect his life and property, but that he needs military and police protec- tion and that he has hostility and opposi- tion where he should have friendship and ‘co-operation show how he has abused his 7 power and privileges and how necessary it is to reassert the equality of all citizens under the law and to refuse to allow the Government to be a panther in oppression. -_ ‘“WHy,’? asks the Globe-Democrat, **does the Circuit Attorney allow a daily newspaper of this city to conduct a lottery, when the law requires him to suppress it?’’ To this very pertinent question we ask leave to add another; Why does the newspaper conducting a lottery in this city so carefully prepare for its mail and outside circulation an expurgated edition containing no lottery tickets, no reference thereto and no advertisement or report of its lottery business? The State law against peddling or distributing lot- tery tickéts or conducting or advertising lotteries or lottery drawings, is severer, older and clearer than the Federai statute. Why, then, is the law-breaker so much more afraid of the United States District Attorney than of the Four Courts Circuit Attorney? What is the nature of the **pull’’ that makes Four Courts ‘*justice’’ so blind tocertain forms of crime and so complaisant to certain classes of crim- inals? THe Four Courts Judge who so fre- quently announces on the bench that he does not know what to do had recently a collision with a habeas corpus decision which taught him thaf he had been usurp- ing and exercising the Executive Department’s pardoning power for the benefit of persons convicted in his court. He claimed then _ that he thought he was doing wrong all the time, but had been guided by the Circuit Attorney’s opinion as to his power. In answering the Globe-Democrat’s ugly question, perhaps the Circuit Attorney may take a notion to show that he is not alone responsible for all the judicial errors and official crookedness of the Four Courts. oo, It cannot be charged against the Demo- cratic majority of the present House that it did not attempt to right the wrongs of the McKinley tarifflaw. Underthe policy of dealing with separate features of the tariff several bills were passed removing oppressive taxation from necessities, but the Senate pigeon-holed them and the demonstration. was made clear that the people must place the Democratic party in full power before efficient work can be done in the way of destroying unjust taxation. The tariff issue has been clearly defined for the voters in this campaign. McKinley protection and a revenue tariff are on trial before the people. -_. = _. —— ”- A Misfit Judge. Fram the Star-Sayings. Firm belief in the personal and official hon- esty of Judge Normile has kept the Star-Say- ingsin the past from joIning in the rather general critisism provoked by his numerous errors of Judgment. Itis always best to as- sume that the bench is honest until the con- trary is established, and hasty or captious fault-finding with those to whom the execu- tion of the law has been intrusted is always to be depiored. The Star-Seyings is nevertheless forced to admit that Judge Normile’s administration of criminal justice has been a disappoint. ment. He has failed to convince the com- munity that his attainments are commen- surate with the important office:he occuples. By his hesitating, vacillating course in the conduct of cases, and his apparent want of firmness in disposing of the business of the court, he has greatly weakened the respect of the public for _criminal procedure in this city. Whenconfronted by difficulties such as arose from the conflict in the July Grand-jury, he has repeatedly sought escape in evasion and non-action. He has not shown the ability to successfully cope with the problems which have presented themselves, and his method of settlement has been unfortunate, tosay the least. The people have the right to insist that their judges shall be learned in the law; that they shall be men of firmness and strength of character; that they shall fearlessly and honestly hear and determine such causes as may come before them. The spectacie of a judge who is at a loss how to proceed whenever an important point comes up for adjudication is not a pleasant one; but the spectacle takes on a most serious aspect when by reason of such incapacity the course of justice is delayed and interrupted, and the very machinery designed for the prompt execution of the laws becomes a drag and an incumbrance. The inherent defects in Judge Normile’s character will be found to be at the bottom of all the Criminal Court mess, and it is not necessary to attribute any improper motives to Judge Normile, or to question his recti- tude or his sincerity of purpose. —— ee A Republican Surrender. From the New York WORLD. Nothing could indicate more clearly the real sentiments of the Northwest than the nomination of Knute Neilson for Governor by the Republicans of Minnesota. Mr. Nelson was a member of the House which passed the Mills bill, and he not only voted but spoke for it. Mr. Nelson proclaimed his convictionina presidential year. He was told by his col- leagues and is said to have believed that by doing so he ended his politicalcareer. He re- fused to become a candidate for re-election and retired to private life. Two years later the Republicans nominated a high-tarif man for Governor, and he received a scant plural.- ity of 2;000, against 88,000forthe Republican candidate for President in 1885. Another presidential year has come and the standard is placed in the hands of the man who voted for a bill directly opposed in letter and spirit to the measure which is now the chief doctrine of the Republican party. This action is susceptible of but ono inter- pretation. Itmeans that Minnesota voted for Benjamin Harrisonin 18883 not because but in spite of the high protective policy, It meansthat the Republicans of the State do not dareto makethefight this year on the lines drawn by their national conmyen- tion. It means thatthe tariff:reform senti- ment has not only grown, but is still grow- ing In the progressive Northwest. And finally— It means that Minnesota can be wrested from the Republican column.

Ewing of the Jefferson City Tribune was atthe Laclede Hotel this morn ing urging the establishment of branch head- quarters in Jefferson City.

That king, who died affiited with the gout for having in. dulged too freely in the pleasures of the table, merited one day the praises of the celebrated chef whose counsels he followed with docil- ity. A greatlover of mussels, he gave ‘al- leyrand the recipe for a sauce which added greatly tothe taste ofthat dish, and as Tal- leyrand communicated to the king the re- fiections of his head cook the monarch re- plied: ‘‘Careme is right, but I very much lear it willbea long time before I shall be a to create a minister of the public cul- Long before the time of Louis XVIII., we find Josephine carefully looking after the household details. She had brought back from the colonies a famous recipe for guava preserves, which she prepared especially for the first consul and of which he was very fond. Kitchening seems to be the only species of work that no one need blush for; and, after all, does not hunger justify the means? Inthe midst of that pericd of the French revolution known as the reign of terror, did not the ex-capucine monk Chabot (anexpertin the science of good living, in remembrance no doubt of the cloister) in- vent the ‘‘omelette truffee aux pointes a’asperges’’ and also ‘‘a la puree de pin- tades?’’ Did you know that it was to the elector of Bavaria that we owe the ‘‘*bava- roise,’’ which was prepared and made under his own eyes for the first time at the Oafe Procope? Modern history also offers noble examples to our admiration. The Empress Elizabeth of Austria, that accomplished horsewoman, that sovereign of a court where aristocratic prejudices are of the strongest kind, glories in her talents as a pastry cook. Her daugh- ter, the Archduchess Valeria, boasts of hav- ing penetrated all the secrets of the ancient and modern cuisine. Queen Victoria Is very fond of making omelets, and it seems she has several recipes. Her daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, excels in preparing tea and buttered toast. But princes of royal blood have more serious occupations, and time was when the heir to the throne of En- giand devoted his leisure hours to the study of, entomology, and when Prince Albert delved assiduously in works of paleontology. VICTORIA’S GUARDS. The Police Are Kept Busy When the En- glish Queen Goes Abroad. From the Jenness Miller Monthly. . Even the Queen of England has her trials. Her Majesty’s frequent trips bring to mind the fact that the English police acould a curi- ous tale unfold if they chose to do soabout the mysterious persons whom they from time to time arrest for offenses connected with the royalfamily. Madmen without number (and as a matter of fact, mad women, too,) have in the course of years paid a visit to royal residences for the purpose of calling on the sovereign on the most silly errands, and for- merly, when she wasa young lady, an end- less number of persons of the male sex fondly imagined they were in love with the youthful Queen, and would write to and attempt to callon her with a view to expressing their ardent feelings. Asamatter of fact the Queen and royal. family area greater source of care to the police than is generally imagined by the public, which doubtless imagines that with just a few ‘*bobbies’’ here and there in unie . torm and plain clothes, whenever the sove- reign and the helr-apparent take their walks abroad, the whole trick is.done. Itis a far more difficult and expensive job than this to guard the Queen and Prince. To guard a royal residence—that Is, to keep an eye on suspicious characters who may prowl about itor seek admittance—requires, of course vigilance; but that Is wos | work compa with the task of protecting the sovereign when she appears in public. Every time the Queen leaves one of herresi- dences, even for an afternoon drive, the event is notified some hours before-hand to the police by the equerry onduty, who an- nounces what itinerary Her Majesty will probably take. At certain points all along the route policemen have to be stationed, and . detectives are placed atall the spots where the royal carriages are likely to stcj. About Balmoral and Osborne the roads can le watched without difficulty, but not so around Windsor and Buckingham Palace. it will be seen from this that the office of court detective is by no means a sinectre, and we might also add that itis of all sts that in which faithful, zealous, efficient ser- vice obtains the least honor and reward, Not that royal rsons are ungrateful to those who guard them properly, wut use the men who guard best are naturally those who make the least fuss. It is the duty of a court detective not only to shield the Queen and the princes from danger, but to conceal from them, sofar as possible, that they have been in danger. thus a man whose sagacity and diligence may over and Over again have saved-the — Queen or princes irom anneoyance, or even hurt, will otten be less appreciated than the more demonstrative servant, who perha once in his fe has had the luck to ar- rest the arm of an assassin aiter, not before, the pistol was fired. indications.

Oats—The harvest has com- menced to a limited extent the present week. It has been good weather for securing the crop. The yields and quality seem to be varying even more than the winter wheat crop, and until threshing machines commence to work it is impossible to say what the outcome will be further than this, that the country is going to harvest more oats than it thought thirty days ago. Beerbohm’s London Evening Corn-Trade List, in a survey of the comparative agricultural outlook, savs: The wheat trade. generally speaking, is be- ginning to ask itselfa most important question, viz., whether after the extraordinary decline whi ch has taken place during the past eight months, prices are not close to the bottom limit? When one fin ds newred winter wheat for shipment in dul August obtainable atthe price of 29.6 for parce 3 and 30.8 for eargoes—prices which have newer be- fore been touched atthis period of the year—the question becomes a very pertinent one. The nearest approach to the condition of the present year, there- fore, was 1887, the experience of which will doubt- less remain in the minds of most persons engaged in the trade. It was in that year,in fact, that the fa- mous California wheat **ring’* collapsed, resulting in the low price of 29s 64d@29s 9d being accepted for California early in September. There was, indeed, perhaps sufficient reason why 1887 should have marked the lowest notch in prices, for the word's wheat productionin that year was the largest on record, asthe following returnof the wheat crops since 1885 shows. last B-~ Gan ew isin prospect, beca reaps a 520, , 000- -bu ero} there will be no leck of wheat if prices be suffic ww attractive; but ex- erience certainly shows that the present very low lov el of values, with all the chances of unfavorable weather in July and August, should be very cluse to that safety simit which the trade as a whole must be wishful to see.

Otto Rauh, residing with his parents at Fighth and Barry streets, was drowned in Dead Creek, East St. Louis,yesterday. Rauh, Fred Sense and several others spent the day in fishing in Cahokia Creek.. The boat be- came entangled in some brush, and Rauh leaped upon a log to extricate the boat. He lost his balance and fell into the water. When he came to the surface Rauh called for help and his companions did what they could to save him, but in vain, for he sank before they reached him. He wasa good swimmer, but was probably injured in his fall from the log. Coroner Woods held an inquest last night and the remains were removed to the home of the young man’s parents. Nicholas Devereux of No, 5841 Theodosia avenue reported to the police yesterday that his cousin, James Devereux, was drowned in Chouteau Slough, Madison County, Illinois, Saturday. About 6 o’clock Devereux at- tempted to push the skiff off but fell under itand drowned. He was 24 years old and re- sided at No. 1015 North Thirteenth street. He was smooth-faced, 5 feet 5 inches high weighed 135 pounds and wore a light flannel shirt, black tie and drab-colored pants. He was empioyed inthe Home Comfort Range Co. and has rich relatives in Charleston, N. C, Nicholas Devereux wishes to be notified of the recovery of the body.

Horsford’s Acid Phosphate Relieves the Feeling of Lassitude St. Louis Sports Admit That Ryan Had} the Best of the Fight. TOM KELLY SAID THAT RYAN COULD HAVE FINISHED THE ST. LOUISAN. The Interference of the Police and the Action of the Referee Discussed—Von der Ahe’s Cast-Offs Beat His Pets— The Browns’ Return—Gen+sral Sport- ing News. Tom Kelly, Constable Mike Lynch and the restofthe local pugilistic contingent that went up to Omaha, Neb., to witness the Ryan-Wilkes weilter-weight contest, arrived home this morning. Lynch acted as Wilkes’ bottle-holder and Tom Kelly officiated as one of the St. Louis men’s seconds. Speaking of the fight Kelly said thismorning: ‘*The tele- graphic reports ofthe affair printed in this city yesterday morning were, in my opinion, very incorrect and as I was present in the ring throughout the fight I think I ought to know what I am talking about, It Is claimed that Wilkes was backed by the club in whose rooms the contest took place and that when the officials of the club Saw that their man was getting the worst of it they called in the police and had the affair stopped. There is but one correct point in that statement and that Is that the police Stopped the contest, and the reason why they did so was because Wilkes presented a very bloody appearance and looked as if he was getting badly punished. The club, it seems, had secured a permit to have the affair take place Saturday night. It was after 9 o’clock before all concerned got together and then several hours were con- sumed selecting the referee. The delay was due to the objections raised toa half a dozen names selected by theclub authorities, any of whom, however, would have suited Wilkes. Parmalee, the man who was finally selected, is well known in sporting circles up there,and while he does not know much about the rules governing ring contests, I am con- fident he was not prejudiceG one way or the other, but desired to see the contest settled on its merits. Johnson, who is an officialof the club and who, it was charged, is responsible for Ryan getting the worst of it, did back up Wilkes considerably. The action of police in stopping the contest, however, can- not be chargedto him. On the contrary I was informed that Johnson was at outs with the city officials, who controlled the police and in consequence they would have given his side the worst ofit had an opportunity for so doing offered itself. Speaking of the fight Mr. Kelly said: ‘‘As a second of WilkesI will admit he had the worstofit, but I seriously doubt whether Ryan could have defeated him in the remain- ing fifteen minutes in which they had to fight. The permit for the contest stated dis- tinctly that it should take place Saturday night and the police were there ready to Stop it had it lapsed overinto Sunday morn- ing. Wilkes, however, was. good for thirty minutes more, andI donot think Ryan had strength enough to put him out. The latter ought to, and undoubtedly would, have finished our maneasily had he. possessed a little more confidence in himself and gave in and setthe pace. As it was Wilkes displayed far more aggressiveness than didthe welter- weight champion. The purse was evenly divided between the pair, and all bets were declared off. A BRUTAL CONTESYT NEAR MEMPHIS. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 1.—Jack Davis of Texas and Mickey Finn of Colorado fought for four hours onthe Arkansas side of the river yesterday fora purse of $500. The men punched each other for fifty-one rounds and the fight hadtobe stopped and declared a draw by Referee Kennedy on account of darkness. The battle was one of the fiercest ever seen in this part of the country between light- weights, both men weighing 130 pounds at -the ring-side. Finn had the best of it for the first fifteen rounds, but Davis got his second wind and fought like a tiger during the remainder of the fight. Both men were frightfully punished, and the ring resembled a slaughter pen. Finn’s right arm was broken in the fourthround. He conceaied this fact from his seconds and fought the rest of the day witbout any one becoming aware of the injury. A physician put the arm in splints to-day and stated that the fracture was a very serious one. THE DAWSON-NEEDHAM CONTEST. Speaking of the Dawson-Needham contest, which took place last week in San Francisco, a Pacific Coast pugilistic authority has the following to say: ‘‘Upto the fifteenth round inexperienced people thought it was Need- ham’s fight. But during a rally Dawson caught Needham on the jaw and dropped him. Needbam got up badly dazed, but held his opponent off until time was sounded. In the next round; he was still mud- dled and Dawson caught him twice, but he saved himselifand fought desperately in the seventeenth. Atlast Needham had to drop back and Dawson beganto crowd him. Needham’s legs and lighter weght were againsthim. He is as clever as Dawson with his hands, but he stands so rigidly on hts feet and spreads himself so far that he reduces his height and his reach and cannot retreat rap- idjy from danger. BASE BALL. George Gore, the old New York outfielder, who joined the Browns recently, and has been covering center fleld, replaced Second Baseman Crooks as captain yesterday. It is not known what induced President Von der Ahe to make the change, although it is sus- pected the good game Gore has put up since he joined the club, coupled with the fact that he is an experienced and seasoned player, had something to do with it. Crooks can hardly have beeh said to have realized ex- ctations while captaining the club, at east the team did not succeed in making much of a showing under his management which is the criterion the public is guided by while sizing up captains nowadays. This is the first time during Gore’s long career On the diamond that he has captained a club andit remainsto be seen just what success he will have. Old ‘*Hick’’ Car- penter, who covered third in place of Pink ney forthe Browns yesterday, will not be signed, He only subbed yesterday. Accord- ing to reports, however, he succeeded in makinga very good showing. Breitenstein and Gleason were both sent home and Gal- vin and Hawk, the new man, will officiate in the agar | two games of thetrip, both of which will be played at Cleveland. Theclub will be home Wednesday and Thursday. They willencounter Anson’s colts at Sports- man’s Park. NO REDUCTION AT PHILADELPHIA. Allof the Philadelphia players, with the exception of Keefe and Reilly, have made affidavits that there has been no reduction in their salaries this season. Says President Al Reach: *‘So far aslamconcerned, there will be no reduction of salaries of the mem- bers of the Philadeiphia club so long as they live upto their contracts. My own signa- ture would never appear so valuable in my eyes if I were to take advantage of the oes depression tocut the players’ sal- aries. THE SAME OLD STORY. The Browns have encountered Charley Comiskey’s Cincinnati Reds eight times this season and for the seventh time went down before them yesterday at the Ohio metropo- . Bob Caruthers handied the sphere for Von Ger Ahe’s pets and was touched up for @fteen base hits. Dwyer, who in the esti- mation of Chris and his son Eddie, particu- lariy the latter, was not good enough for the Browns, pliched a splendid game for the .

A disagreement is reported amongthe ‘‘Big Four’’ who control the Guttenburg and Sara- toga racing associations. Dennis McLaughlin and John C. Carr have taken sides against Gottfried Walbaum and ‘‘Nick’’ Crusius, and it is probable that the war will be fought to such an extent as to seriously interfere with racing at the North Bergen track next winter. Such at any rate tis the story. Carr and Walbaum have not been on friendly terms for a longtime. Carr with- drew from the Saratoga association soon after the purchase of the track, and Wal- baum bought his stock... Carr and Walbaum do not speak now, anda friend of both is au- thority ior the statement thata movement is on foot to force Walbaum out of the Gut- tenburg association. Walbaum depended upon McLaughlin to protect him in his fight with Carr, and McLaughlin did try to smooth matters over, but Carr in- sisted that either he or Walbaum would have to withdraw from the association. Now Walbaum has another fight on his hands. Last Tuesday he and McLaughlin had a dlis- pute and the result was that McLaughlin of- fered for sale his stock in the Saratoga asso- ciation. It amounted to $20,00and Walbaum bought it. Waivaum is now in full control of the Saratoga track. He also holds the big- gest slice of the Guttenburg stock, and if Orusius stands by him he inay get the upper hand of the fight. ‘Ihe friends of McLaughlin and Carr, however, are confident that Val- baum will be forced to withdraw from the Guttenburg Association or run the risk of going tojail. McLaughlin has provided the protection and should he say the word the Hudson County authorities would not hesi- tate.a minute toclose the gates of the Gutten- burg track. Last year the profits of each of the four were about $300,000, and they have each accumulated in three years frow $6500,- 000 to $750,000 TENNY ROUNDING UP. For an old cripple Tenny did some hard work last Thursday at Monmouth Park. He was made favorite for the first race, but could not do better than third even with Gar- rison up. Just before the race Mr. Pulsifer, the little swayback’s owner, said he thought that Tenny could win, but that he hadn’t ap ta him. *‘No- body can tell what he will »’’ said he dis- consolately, ‘‘for he sulks in all his races.’’ Tenny didn’t sulk but was jostled by Strephon at the head of the stretch and couldn’t seem to get to going again. He won the fourth race ina clumsy gallop, but for a once- great racehorse the credit of beating Longstreet’s yourger brother, Long Beach, is not so great. He pulled up fresh and looked well as he went up to the paddock. TRACK TALK. F. C. McLewee, who formerly represented F. A. Ehret in the management of his stable, says that the relations between Mr. Ehret and Jockey Isaac Murphy were misunder- stood. Murphy, he says, is still in the em- ploy of Ehret, and will receive his salary regulary, taking mounts for the stable when so ordered.

The Engineers Will Not Federate—Other Plans Proposed. Grand Chief Clark of the Order of Railway Conductors did notarrive inthe city to-day, as had been expected, and the Grievance Committee took no action In regard to the scheme of federation. It is now regarded as likely that no definite action will be taken at the present meeting. Those well informed in tne progress of negotiations state that there is little hope of the engineers joining any federation, but that the firemen seem _ inclined to do so. The Jatter order has heretofore closely followed the engineers, but from pres- ent indications seems likely to alter this policy. Telegrams were received from Wilkesbarre, Pa., stating that at a large meeting of railway men held there yesterday the plan of forming a federation of all rail- way employes was advanced, and met wiih universal support from all but the en- gineers, while many members of bhis order were anxious to amalgam ate. The idea oO a general federation of all railway employes does not meet with universal approval, many of the conductors holding that none save the con- ductors, engineers, trainmen and switchmen should be included. The committee consid- ered the troubles that had arisen in regard to the reported intention of the roads belonging to the Gould system to put coliectors on the trains. Several conferences have been held with General Manager smith, and it is an- nounced that matters will be amicably ar- ranged, and that there is no chance ofa strike being ordered. It is expected that the committee will adjourn to-morrow. Lowest- Priced House in America for #ine DIAMONDS.

The Faithful Priest Buried From His Own Parish Church With Solemn Services. The burial services of the Roman Catholic Church were performed this morning over the remains of the late Rev. Father William Brantner, pastor of St. Theresa’s Church,’ 2415 North Grand avenue, atthat church, The body lay ina heavily draped casket at the head of the center aisle in front of the sanctuary. The remains were robed in a long white alb, and ontop of the coffin was spread the purple chasuble, surmounted by the chalice of the dead priest. Festoons of crepe were hung about the walls of the church and the white coverings were hidden beneath heavy pieces of biack. Tne pall bearers were Messrs. Grant, Meyn- burg, McNamara, Matthew, King, Mulcahy, Guignon, Kavanaugh and Stanton. They occupied seats in the pews on each side of the casket and behind them sat the members of the parish branches of the Catnolic Knights of America, and the Knights of Father Mathew, the young men’s and young ladies’ sodalities and representatives of the sisterhoods. At 10:15: a. m., the large crowd of parish- oners who had gathered at the church doors and awaited admission to the church were aliowed to enter and quickly filled the church. A large number remained outside who could not find room within the church, and several police were detailed to prevent a crush at the door, At 10:30, the priests, about forty in number, robed in cassock and surplice, formed in Une in the arochial residence and marched into he sanctuary of the church, where they chanted the prayers forthe dead, First the matins were sung, lead by Father Ziegler of St. Malachi’s parish, and then the lauds. The lessons were read by Fathers McLaughlin of Hannibal and Daltonof Kansas City. All the priests arose to sing the benediction. This was a very impressive partof the exer- cises. A choir of priests, who were sta- tioned in, the organ-loft under _ the leadership of Father J. J. McCabe, sang the sacred hymns. and the priests in the santuary made the responses, The other priests in the gallery with Father McCabe were Revs. Schaffers, Hukestein, Busch and Tonrad.
