THE CONFERENCE OF TRAINMEN OFFI- CIALS NOT YET HELD. Grand Master Sargent Refuses to Make a Prediction—Alil Hands Waiting for De- velopments——Sensational Rumor of a Battle Last Night Denied—-How a Strike Is Ordered—Attemptsto Wreck a Train. ~ Burgaro, N. Y., Aug. 23.—The strike situ- ation #o day can?tbe summed up in one word waiting. Grand Master Wilkinson of the trainmen will soon be here, and Chief Conductor Clark- of the conductors will be here to-morrow. Sargent, Sweeney and Wilkinson will hold a conference to-night, and to-morrow when Clark arrives another conference between the four executives will take place. Chief Arthur of the engineers is not expected to be present. The, result of these conferences will decide the action to be taken. The belief is growing to-day that this action will be an abandonment of the strike. The plan, it is now said, istolet the strike down easy. The conference will advise peace; Grand Master Sweeney will yield gracefully and the striking switchmen will go back to their Places if they can or will seek work else- where. This isadmittedly the critical point of the trouble, however. The firemen are re- ported to be clamoring for a strike, but Sar- gent says that no matter if they voted unani- mously to strike, he would not approve it, if, in his judgment, he did not consider it prudent. And, furthermore, however much he may be in favor of going out with the switchmen, the firemen will not do so unless all the other railroad labor organizations go out. Sargent said this morning that he had no plans for to-day. He was awaiting the ar- rival of the executive officers of other rall- way unions whom Grand Master Sweeney had invited here for aconference, Exactly what day this conference would be held Mr. Sar- gent did notknow. He thought its delibera- tions would be brief, and he had an opinion of what the outcome would be, but what this opinion was he would not divulge. Mr. Sargent said if the Federation of Rail- way Organizations was now in existence the switchmen’s strike would probabiy not have oceurrea, Under the rules of the Federation no body or its members could strike without the consent of the Executive Board. A list of grievances and propositions for their settle- ment had to be formulated for presentation to the company or companies, whichever it might be,and !f the strike were finally agreed upon, not only the organization with the grievance would go out, but all the other organizations would join it. The next twenty-four hours will probably tell the tale. Whe Rochester and Pittsburg men who were expected to go out this morn- ing are stillat work. Soare the Lackawanna men, though that road hada narrow escape from being tied up yesterday. It appears thata quantity of freight arrived here by steamer marked to go by Lehigh Valley. The agents here tried to play a trick and by changingthe marks and Dills of lading to send itover the Lackawanna. The latter’s men discovered the ruse and promptly re- fused to handle the freight. The road did not insist on It, sothe men are at works to- day. SHOOTING LAST NIGIIT. There were the customary number of small rows in various parts of the disturbed dls- trict last nignt but nothing of a serious mature occurred. There was shooting all along the frontfromthe Ohio street trestle tothe Tifft Farm. Out on Senaca street a great many shots were fired and many more onthe Jifft Farm. So far as learned they were for the usual causes—night breakers, throwing bricks, or mysterious forms scud- Ging through the darkness, Between 12:30 and io’clockthis morning a striker was shotand siightly wounded by a soldier stationed at the Hamburg street crossing ofthe Lehigh Valley. The Emer- gency Hospital was notified and he was con- veyed thitherinan ambulance. At the hos- pital he gave his name as William Moran and said his home is at 445 Senaca street. A proposition was made to the Sheriff last night on benalf ofthe strikers. Itis that the Sheriff swear in 400 of the striking switchimen as special deputies, each man to bring a cer- tificate from Master Moriarty of the local lodge of switechmen that he is a responsible person and can be depended on. The Sheriff made an appointment to meet the committee again to day. ‘ihe strikers want the troops withdrawn and they promise in return that they will guarantee the safety of the railroail property an@ will not gointothe yards but patrol the streets adjoining and Keep outsid- ers from making trouble, ~ AT MILITARY HEADQUARTERS. Gen. Doyle was at military headquarters this morning when your correspondent called and asked him if he had heard of any trouble in which the Twelfth Regiment men were engaged last night. He said he had not. The Adjutant of the Twelfth had ust been at headquarters and que made no mention of anything unusual having happened. Gen. Doyle said if there had been any killing he certainly would have heara of it. The General said he had heard of no reports of trouble anywhere. Troop A has returned toits post at the New York Central Stock Yards. According tothe statements of soldiers there was more or less shooting on the outposts of both the Seventy- firstand Twenty-second Regiments. It was said to have beef prompted by stone-throw- ing on the partofsmall partiesofmen. As far as known no one was hurt. About 1 o’clock a man who gave his name as Wilttam Moran was taken to the Emer- wency Hospital,sulffering from a bullet wound intheleg. Thestory he told the physicians wasthat he was walking along Hamburg street when he was cnallenged by a soldier, He stopped and had some words with him, and then started to walk off, whereupon, so Mr. Moran alleges, the sentry fired five shots athim, Only one took effect. Moran also had a slicht wound, which, he says, was in- fiicted by the soldier with the butt of his gun. His wounds are not serious. A NIGHT ALARM. Shortiy after midnight the guard on duty on the@ocks near the Ohio street bridge saw three small boats, each containing four men, eping up the river. ah alt’ rang out on the still night. There was a splash of oars and the boats were pointed for the other shore. ‘‘Fire!’’ was the nextorder. Bang—bang! went the rifles of the guard, but the boats did not stop, ihe bullets few high andthe occupants of the boats were swallowed up in the darkness of the farther shore. The incident made a * sensation in the neighborhood. Your corre- spondent, prompted by a rumor by wire from Chicago, that a battle had occurred this morning, has finished around of terri- tory said to have been affected. There have been desultory shots at various posts through the night, fired to frighten away strikers who were throwing stunesat the pickets, been no concerted action. ve been no charges by the troops has been nocall for the police re- shots may be heard every there were no more | Jast night than any other night. Torpedo Switch signals on the tracks were used by the Erie road at the Bailey street yards and sounded possibly to those at a aistance like rife shots. So far as East Buffalo and the Seventy first and Twelfth commands know no outbreak occurred. Nothing unusual happened. A GUERILLA WARFARE. It is difficult for persons at a distance to clearly appreciate the indignities which are Mposed upon the present. switchmen ® railway yards here and upvun the militia while protecting men and property. Gen. Porter characterizes the situation in this respect as guerilla warfare. The men who left their work in the railway yards ten days ago are alleged by their leaders to be innocent of any depredations. The attempts upon property, which are of alMost daily occurrence, are charged upon the class of floating vagrants e former SWitchmen condemn the Sheriff because troops were ordered here, and it is asserted that should they be removed no violence ould be done. During the three days past, and while vehement demands had been made for the withdrawal of the soldiers, ycur cor- respondent Nas collated several instances of which an evidence of hostility may be left for construction or characterization by those who protest against the presence of the troops and who claim that no violence is be- ing done. A switchman employed about the New York Central’s main depot said to Supt. Rossiter of the Central upon this subject: ‘‘Of course they Gono truoble us here about the depot because they dare not, but they have fright- ened my wife nearly todeath, going to my home and threatening her that my house would be burned unless I quit work.’’ Freight train No. 88 stood in the Erie yards at Kast Buffalo between Babcock street and Balley avenue. Despite a line of militia pickets on each side of the tracks, coupling ins were pulled and the train was cut into a ozen parts, Asa Niagara Falis train over the Central came into this city at nighta switch was thrown out almost at the entrance ofthe station and the man who didit ran away in the darkness. Switch frogs have been clogged with scrap iron, the switchmen at work are cursed and stoned, and this morning the Captain of the separate company, whose men had been for some timetargets for fiying pieces of coal, shouted to the men who threw them that un- less they quit the troops would swap lead tor coal piece for piece. The temper of the in- truders is evidenced by the response: *‘*We can’t fight lead with coal, but we would like to be on aneven footing with you forabout twenty minutes. We would teach youto come here and interfere in our busi- hness.’’ OF THE COWBOY KIND. Among the new switchmen at work in the Seneca street yard of the Erie is W. H. Ester- lin. Heis believed to be about 30 years old and is attired like a cowboy. W. A. Helster, trafic manager of the Erie, found that Ester- linhada pistol. So did the strikers. The butt of a huge weapon stuck out of his pocket and the skirt of his jacket caught upon it. Esterlin’s post is close to the sidewalk of the street and idling strikers stood ina line along the walk. ‘ihey demanded of the police that the switchman should be arrested for carry- ing a concealed weapon. ““Do you call that weapon concealed?’’ asked Esterlin, who speaks with a drawl. *-I’m not carrying concealed weapons?’’ The police decided that he could not carry the pistol and demanded its surrender. Mr. Helster, however, said he would take the pistolandlockitup. Esterlin objected. ‘*‘If you let me keep my gun,’’ he said, ‘‘I don’t care arap for the police or the militia. I’ve been pretty much used to taking care of myself.’’ When he wenttosupper at 7 o’clock Mr. Helister restored to him his pistol. Next day as Mr. Heister passed the cowboy was at his post; be dropped one eye-lid down in droll fashion and hunched one hip significantly. Esterlin was preceded at this post by Thomas Grifith, who occupied it just twenty minutes and then ran away in deadly fear of the men who were abusing him. The Board of Mediation and Arbitration has decided to begin an investigation into the cause ofthe switchmen’s strike to-mor- rowand the summoning of witnesses. has already begun. REFUSE TO HANDLE FREIGHT. BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 23.—At 1:30 p. m. the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western switch- men struck because they were ordered to handle freight from the tied-up roads. One hundred and twenty-five men are gut. WEBB WELL PLEASED. New York, Aug. 23.—The Third Vice-Presi- dent of the New York Central returned this morning from Buffalo. He spent an hour reading clippings from the morning papers relative tothestrike. If a smiling face and a general agreeable manner were any indica- tion, Mr. Webdb was pleased. **Well, I’m here,’’ he said heartily, ‘‘and you can restassured if I were apprehensive of further trouble that I would not be here. **As far asthe Central is concerned the strikeisathing ofthe past. Wehaveallthe men we want. I mean experienced work- men. We have all we need along the line, andin those localities where there is even the slightest possibility of disorder we have hundreds of men in reserve. ‘*There is noroom fur a strike. The only thing-we have feared at all is that the flre- men would go out. ‘There is no just cause forsuch an action on their part; they have no grievances; they are well paid, and do not work too long hours. But at such a time as this the men do not wait fora cause.’’ Speaking or the Buffalo situation, sir. Webb said: **Yhe strike, in my opinion, is broken. It cannot extend eastwar@. Shere Isa slight chance of Sweeny orderinga strike to the West, buteventnatis Duta slight distance. The men have lost and the sooner they recognize the fact the better it will be for them, Buffaiois well guarded at every point, freight is moving everywhere. and so far as Ican see, there is mo room ior strikes or strikers.’’ HOW A STRIKE IS ORDERED, TERRE Havre, Ind., Aug. 23.—Your repre- sentative interviewed Mr. Debs, Secretary of the Grand Lodge of the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Firemen, this morning in reference to the situation at Buffalo. Mr. Debs said: ‘*I notice in the interview of a press repre- sentative with Mr. Sargent at Buffalo as re- ported last evening that s:r. Sargent is made totaik about the probability or possibility of his ordering a strike and as a consequence great importance attachesto the prubable action of the Grand Master. ‘here is certainly a mistake in this interview, and I cannot believe that Mr. sargentis correctly quoted. Inthe first Jace it should be understood that Grand Master Sargent, nor any other grand officer, norallofthem combined, can order a strike under any conceivable circumstances, and tnis is practicaily true of the grand officers of all other organizations of raiiway em- ployes. How can a strike be ordered? in just one way can a strike be legaily authorized, and that is by a two-thirds vote of the whole system upon which the strike is to be inaugurated, and then only by consent or the full Protective Board, composed of one rep. resentative of eaci: league on the system and the Grand Master. This is the only way a strike can be legally authorized and the only way astrike can be deciared off. The Grand Master haS no more authority to declare a strike than you have to declare war against Canada.’’ ‘*‘How about a sympathy strike that is talked of so much?’’ **That is simply out of tiie question under our present laws, and I] think] should know what the laws are, for with the exceptfon of a paragraph or two of minor importance I drafted them all. Our laws provide explicitly that only the grievance of a member of our own order can be considered, and that ifa strike is inaugurated or participated in under any other circumstances, the members so offending shall be expelled. I am in full and hearty sympathy with the switch- men, their cause is Just and they ought to win, butin my opinion it will be the same old story. It is not difficult to see what the outcome will be. Stripped of ail extraneous matter, there is buta simple proposition in- volved andthat is the corporation against organized labor, and with the organizations ing it single-handed and alone, each hav- ng to consuit its own laws and rumbie alon as best its cumbersome old machinery wii permit it, it does not require the prophetic vision of @ seer to foretelitheresult. Justice to labor willnever come, in my juagment until labor federates and wields its united power for the good of all.’’ : RAILWAY CONDUCTORS. OCnICcAGO, Ill., Aug. 23.—E. E. Clark of of Railway Conductors, is here on his way to Buffalo, in response to the request of Grand Master Sweeney. In an interview he said thatasfarashe knew the conductors had ho grievience to right, and added, ‘‘But what may develop after I have arrived on the scene, Icannot predict. Unless our men have grievances to settle we will not gO out, as we do not care to express any sympathy in that way. I know nothing of the trouble, except what I have learned through the newspapers. I think the demand of the men on the Erle & Lehigh Valley roads forthe same wages as those paid by other roads are in that vicinity just, but the most deplorable thing in the affair is that acts of violence were re- sorted to by some «ne at the start, This has "paket beeh the greatest use for pro- onging the strike, as otherwise it would probably have been amicably settied.’’ At this point Grand Master 8. F. Wilkinson of the Order of Railway Trainmen, who came in this morning from Galesburg, in), , alsoen route to Buffalo ona mission similar to that of Grand Master Clark, make his afpear- ance, Further than saying that he was re- sponding toa summons from Grand Master Sweeney he deciined to talk. Both Messrs. Clark and Wilkinson leave for Buffalo at 3 o’clock this afternoon, WORK OF TRAIN WRECKERS. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Aug. 23.—One of the most treacherous acts that has been com- mitted by the strikers or their sympathizers took place at the bridge between 9 and 10 o’clock last night. A loaded freight train was pulling out for Buffalo when aswitch just east of Lewiston avenue was thrown. The engine and four cars had passed and were on one track when the train broke in two, and the rearand the greater portion of it slipped toward the cantilever bridge on the Michigan Central track. As soon as the .gateman saw the train com- ing be made a hurried effort toopen the gate, but he was too late, and before he coul i es- cape the cars dashed into it and he was struck andtwoof his ribs were broken, his Land hurt and he was otherwise injured. The train was running at about eighteen miles an hour and when it came toa stand it was allon the bridge. Of the cars that fol- lowed onthe Central tracks the fourth or rear one tipped over and this morning Is still on its side between thetracks. The col- lision of the train with the gate might have resulted in the derailment of the train and its precipitation off the bridge approach. Afterthe collision occurred the swlichman had nis lantern knocked out of his hand bya bystander. | A LOST OPPORTUNITY. Utica, N. Y., Aug.23.—Gov. Flower stopped here on his way to Albany, and, referring to to the strike, said: ‘‘lam inclined to think that the strikers made a bad move at the be- ginning. Ifthey had goneto workand had the President of the Central arrested for vio- lating one of the laws of the State they could have had him convicted and fined $500 or im- prisoned one year. Last winter the Legisla- ture passed a law makingit obligatory for railroad companies to give aday’s pay for ten hours and to pay extra for all over that. I signed the bill and the strikers had a good chance to makeatest case. Why did they notdothat? If they had done sol think they would have won their case.’’ PROTECTING AN ARMORY. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 23.—Col. Norman M. Smith of the Eighteenth Regiment last night asked for detectives to guard the regiment armory, which is situated in the heart of the city. Col. Smith says that on last Wednes- day night an attack was made on the armory hall by some men with the perpase of secur- ing the arms stored there. Last night the windows were broken and Col. Smith de- cided to callfor police protection. A force has been detailed to guard the approaches to the armory. STRIKE CALLED OFF. IATTLE Rock, Ark., Aug. 23.—The strike of the boliler-makers in the Iron Mountain shops was terminated this morning ata meeting of the machinists and blacksmiths, who re- fused to indorse the strike, declaring itto be hasty and ill-advised. It was further de- cided that the men had no grievance or cause for striking and thatthe boiler-makers were not justified in walking out. All the strikers will be re-employed on personal application for work. WANTS THE WABASH. George Gould Endeavoring to Get Con- trol of the Stock. NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—There are signs that George J. Gould wants to runthe Wabash Railroad. For what purpose is not quite clear, but the reason isnot farto seek, Some- one whose identity has been pretty well es tablished has been in the street for a couple of weeks trying to buy all the Wabash stock that he could, and soliciting proxies very earnestly. This gentleman has been tothe recognized brokers of the ‘*Litthe Wizard,’’ George Gould, and caught in the same identl- cal offices atthe same time. There Js still time for actual work before the annual meetiny takes place on Sept. 13, and prob- ably the main strokes will be left untii the last moment, as in the caseof the Union Pacific coupon. Sofar as known no dissatis- faction has been expressed against the pres- ent management. It is understood that two of the directors against whom the opposition is aimed are Messrs. Dow and McHarg. One of the gentlemen who is supporting the pres- ent Management said that they now havea majority of stock piedged, but they cannot tell where they will stand when the election comes off if proxies are bought in the way the Wormser ho.dings were secured for the Union Pacific meeting. Sige MUTINOUS SEAMEN. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal,., Aug. 23,—The whaling bark Northern Light, whose crew of twenty - six men mutinied at Ounalaska, arrived here yesterday. The bark was ordered to San Francisco for repairs, but the crew claimed she was unseaworthy and refused to gO. They were placed in irons for three Gdaysand then they gave In andthe whaler put to sea, SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC RAILWAY. JOPLIN, Mo., Aug. 23.—Articles of incor- poration of the Southwestern Electric Rail- way Co., capital stock $500,000, have been hled. The object of the company is tocon- Struct a line of electric road connecting Webb City, Carterville and other towns with Joplin, RAILWAY AND STEAMSHIP ASSOCIATION, ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 23.—The Executive Board of the Southern Railway & Steainship Association will meet here Wednesday to consider the signing of acontract for another year. Itis believed that practically all the roads of the association wiil sign and con- tinue the organization. RICHMOND TERMINAL RECEIVER. BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 24.—Judge Bond to- day eppointed Walter G. Oakman receiver of the Richmond Terminal Co,, to give a bondof $100,000, ] Modern Woodmen. PEORIA, Ill., Aug. 28.—The Modern Wood. men own the city of Peoria to-day. This is the occasion of their great annual log-rolling and demonstration. The freedom of the burg is theirs and the hospitality of the entire municipality isattheir disposal. There are several thousand visitors on the streets and the capacity of the parks will be severely tested. They are a xood-looking body of men and arein a majority of cases accow nied by their families. Itisa cieiitable dis- play forthe order. ‘he parade is organizing early this afternoon and everything points to a celebration to which the craft can polnt with pride. New Engiand Terminal BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Aug. 23.—It is an- nounced thatall the property of the New England Terminal has been rchased b the New ork, New maven & Hartford Cedar Rapids, Io., Grand Master of the Order | Railroad Co, for $3,225,000, COAL CREEK QUIET. Military Control Brings Peace to Hast Tennessee. FEARS OF AN UPFISING SHOULD THE TROOPS BE WITHDRAWN. Attorney-General Pickel Arrives in the Valley — Ths Prosecution of Rioters Will Be Pushed—Probable Result of the Coming Trials—Miners Still Hid- ing in the Mountains. CoAL CREEK, Tenn., Aug. 23.—Attorney- General Pickel, who arrived yesterday after- noon to co-operate with Gen. Carnes in sup- pressing the trouble here, accepted the hospitality of the press headquarters last night. In conversation with your represen- tative, the General expressed the opinion that the lease system could be abrogated, as the conditions of the lease had been violated months ago by’the lessee, in the failure of them to pay the yearly fee of $100,000, for which suit has been brought. The General expressed the opinion that martial law could be proclaimed in Tennessee either by the Governor of the State or by a special session of the Legislat- ure andthe only way to handle the matter was the method being pursued now by the State guard with the co-Gperation of the civil authorities. The General said that he- roic measures should be instituted. Thatifa dozen or two of the prime movers in the law- lessness were sent to the penitentiary it would have the good effect of intimidating the other agitators and they woulda not dare return tothis vicinity for fear of a like penalty. Attorney-General Pickel advocates the maintenance of peace, even if the troops have to be kept here until the September term of the court, when prosecutions can be instituted. Gen, Carnes sald to-day that he intended to do his utmost to bringthe outlaws to justice by due -process of civil law, but he thought that martial law was the only ef- fective remedy for the troubles in Anderson County. The abrogation of the convict lease law might serve the same purpose. There is no danger ot violence being offered to the men who are under arrest, and it fs doubtful if they will be punished tn any man- ner. Thesoldiers are operating under civil law, and the only thing they can do isto have their prisoners tried by a magistrate for rioting, assault with intent to murder, etc. There is only one justice of the peace in Anderson County who has the nerve totry tbe insurgents. His name is Wilsonand he lives at Coal Creek. He can do nothing but bind the men over to the Criminal Court, after which it will be plain sailing for them to freedom, unless the omMejals have changed greatly in the last three months. It has never been established how many miners have been killed, but the number will reach twelve easily, if the statements of men | who saw the bodies can be accepted as true. Twenty or thirty guns have been brought in from the mountains by skirmishing parties. Few ofthe male natives can be seen, most of them being in hiding in the mountains or in the mines, where they are supplied with food by the women. The women are apprehensive of danger, but do not seem to harbor ill will toward the troops, or to approve of the course of the men in breaking the law. Despite the peaceable aspect parties contin- ued to bring in prisoners and arms through- out the day, and the church near the depot Is crowded with prisoners. The collection of arms captured is enough for a museum, Everything from a single-barrel to a govern- ment needle gun is included. There ts stillsome apprehension felt of an attack by the miners, who, it is known, have been reinforced from Kentucky and Virginia. Many people believe that the war is not yet over. An assault on Fort Anderson would be afoolish move. Itisastrong position, situ- ated on a mountain spur north of the stock- ade. Eastofit 1s Walden’s Ridge, and on the north and south are other mountains, wooded and rocky. On the west thereisa narrow wooded ridge leadingtothe camp from the other mountains. The side of the mountain between the stockade and the camp has been cleared of trees and under- growth sothatthe soldiers can protect the convicts’ quarters and the miners with their Gatling gun and mountain howitzer. It would be impossible forany force the miners could raise to capture the camp by storm, and itis not practicable for them to get nearer than 500 yards without encounter: ing the pickets that surround the camp. The stockade is just over the mouth of the principal mine, which Is about one mile up the valley south of Coal Creek. There are 103 convicts in the stockade and they have done no work this week, They seem to enjoy the diversion of the insurrection, though they were badly frightened during the recent assault, it develops this morning that two militia- men who were out ona tour through the mountains yesterday, and were late getting in last night, were chased by five armed miners, six or eight miles from here, and had to makea detour of ten miles to get back to camp. Itisrumored this morning that the Governor of Kentucky has given permission for the troops to pursue fugitives across the Kentucky line and will co-operate in their capture. Preparations are now being made to be in readiness to start with aspecial train for Jellico should orders be given to that effect. Squire Kincafd is holding court at Coal Creek this morning, and several miners have been held to court while others have veen discharged. Allobstructionsto Civil prose- cution have been removed by appointing County. The miners are unable to give bail and a few wili be taken to Knoxville for safe keeping. Troops are still arriving. Acom- pany from Jackson, Tenn., came in to-day. IMPORTANT CONFERENCE, NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 23—An important conference was held yesterday between the State Board of Prison Inspectors anda dele- gation representing the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Co. The overcrowded con- dition of the prison was discussed and the advisability of turning over the surplus con- victs to the coal, iron and railroad company. The company will give its answer shortly, and it will be watched with interest on ac- count of the mining trouble now in prog- ress in East Tennessee. THE INMAN RIOTERS. yenn., AUg. 22.—The men went to Inman to were told that all ag@ had been returned: ourresaey provi P| reasonable bon The snerift sognerre Judge Moon. 80 are hol f the a done to bring totrial all who participated in the riots, and that if the Sheriff of Marion County could not, with the assistance of the citizens of the county, bring the mentotrial, he would send sufficient :military ‘to do so. The Governor informed Gen, Brown that the law would be enforced at all hazards. The determination of the authorities has had aie salutary effect. The leading spirits of the mob that released the convicts at Inman are certain of a term in the penitentiary as atthe last ses- sion of the Legislature a law was passed making it a felony in any manner to interfere with the working of the convicts, the law having in view such offenses as a mob at In- man were guilty of. The penaity is one to seven years in the penitentiary. Col. Joe Clift, one of the leading criminal lawyers of the South, a man of exceptional ability and courage, has been employed by the District Attorney to assist in the prosecution. COMMERCIAL TELEGRAPHERS. MEETING CALLED TO FORM A _ WATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF THE CRAFT. New Yor«K,Aug. 23.—The commercial teleg, raphers ofthe United States are engaged in forming a national brotherhood.* A com- mittee call has just been issued for a meeting of representatives in Kansas City on Sept. 2 to form such an organization. For some time correspondence has been going on in relation to the subject and interest Is be- ing manifested in all parts of the country. T. O'Reilly, who took so active a part in the great telegraphers’ strike in 1833, and Kn ghts of Labor Journal is in the city conterring with New York leaders on the subject. He was seen by a reporter and spoke warmly of the project. He said the telegraphers had either to organize or sub- mit tothe Western Union, which he alleges has pursued a policy of reductions during the last six years. He says that the average sal- ary of atelegraph operatorislessthan $53 per month, and that the amount neces- sary to maintain a aecent existence has to be eked out by extra . work at the cost of health, comfort, independence and even life. A telegraph operator, he sald, was a highly skilled work - man. Not only must he know how to senda message, but he must be an moo fhaning A sya of information, so as to deal Intelixently with all subjects. No operator should be required to work, O’Reilly thinks, more than eight hours a day and first-class operators should receive not less than $100 permonth, The operators were organizing to maintain their standing as a profession ; not to threaten and intimidate, but to educate. They. realized that the only way to gain the respect of the companies is to mainttin a solid, organized front. O’Rellly saidthat a meeting was held in Philade!phia on sunday at which delegates were elected to attend the convention at Kansas City, and that meetings were held on the same day to discuss the subject and elect delegates in New York, Boston, Jersey City, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Richmond, Nasi ville, New wrleans, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and other cities. Local unions have been formedin twenty-seven cities already, and after the convention six commissioned or- ganizers will be in the fleld, O’Relilly will start for Kansas Cityat the end of the week to take an active part in the National Convention. A secret meeting or the New York operators will be held on Fri- day night. THAT HOMESTEAD BOYCOTT. HOMESTEAD, Pa., Aug. 23.—There is much expressed indignation among members of the Advisory Committee over the charge that it boycotted Butcher Adolph Doerr and has begun to persecute the wives of Homestead- ers who are working In the mill. Acting Chairman Crawford said this morning: ‘*‘We would be fools to render ourselves liable to suits for conspi- racy by such actionas the alleged boycott, and itisuntrue.

Wecan stand facts, but the story has been sent out designedly to injure us. I also for the bvard desire to state in reply to Supt. Potter’s statement that many persons cannot get back in the mill, that many of us will not return as long as he Is manager.’”’ Mr. Curry states that the new Bessemer mili made eleven heats last night. When in full operation it should make from forty-five to fifty heats. The force inthe mill was in- creased by the arrival of eighty-seven men yesterday, and no desertions are reported. A carpenter was discharged for drunken- ness. Itis reported that a’'number of the non-union men are organizing-a separate military company and that they will ask for acharter. Thisaction is the result of an apprehension which exists among the men that violence will be offered by the strikers ~ song arta men when the militia leave nally. About 12:30 0’clock Nicholas Rattigan, who has a house in Homestead, attempted to move his effects to a company house neir the steel works, about 100 strikers gathered near the. house and by jeers and throwing tin cans, stones, etc., frightened away the people moving and Mr. Rattigan was threatened with assault. About fifteen deputies werpé called and succeeded in holding back the crowd. There is much ex- citement and acompany of militia is under arms ready to march in case of further trouble.

Iam heartily insympathy with the miners. I have seen the men shot down there just like dogs.

The Czar Has Violated the Treaty of Livadia—Pamir Boundary Line Dis- putes May Provoke a Great Conflict— Ravages of Cholera in Europe and Asia—Hot Weather—General Foreign News. SIMLA, Aug. 23.—Fearlng that they will selze upon partofthe Pamir region that be- the Ameer has asked the Governor of India to intervene,to prevent Russian aggression inthe Pamircountry. It is thought that Russia’s object is to first as- sert her right to Shingan, by occupying it and driving out the Arghans, who have taken possession of the place and to turn the Chinese position in Kashgar. The Novosti of St. Petersburg recently de- clared that Russia could not permit the occu- pation of Afghanistan by Great Britain. The paper added that if Afghanistan was merely a buffer for Great Britain it behooves Russia to see that internal affairs in Afghanistan do not threaten to interfere with the economic development of the Trans-Caspian provinces. Russia’s political frontier lies about one hundred miles south of the administrative boundary of Russian Turkestan, and the Pamir region lies south of this administrative boundary. Directly south of the Pamir coun- try isthe British Indian political frontier. China claims that the Russians are invading her territory. Should Russia occupy the Pamir country she would stand side by side with Great Britain in the East, for just south of the British political frontier Wes Cashmere, which isundera British protectorate. China has addressed strong representations to Russia, protesting against the occupation ofthe Pamircountry by the Russians as a breach of thé treaty of Livadia, which fixes | the frontier 100 miles north of Aktash, where the Russians are encamped. The Governor of Chinese Turkestan has sent troops to protect the frontier. The important factor in the situation Is that the Russian and Afghan outposts along the actual frontage line, laid down by the Boundary Commission, are in close juxta- position, and that consequently collisions can be provoked at ahy moment. That nothing of the kind has occurred for years past is due, no doubt, to the fact that the Russians were playing a waiting game. The position which the Ameer now takes may force Russia’s hand, by giving England, through her India Government, the oppor- tunity long sought to demand an expiana- tion of the Czar’s apparent designs on India. RUSSIA’S REPLY TO CHINA. SHANGHAI, Aug. 23.—In reply tothe Chinese } protest Russia declares that the Russian ex- pedition under Col. Yanoff Is simply explor- ing and does not intend to occupy the Pam- irs, On June 14 Col. Yanoff, at the head ofa Russian military expedition, left New Marghilan, the capital of terghana, for the Pamir region. His staff consisted of four officers—MM. Verestchagine, Skersky, \Yas-~ treboff and Kouznietsow—and he took with him infantry, artillery and cavalry, the last being compose of Cossacks. His force con stituted three-fourths of the Russian troops quartered in the province of Ferghana, and it was joined before starting by a number of volunteers, painters, naturalists, geologists and others intent on scientific research, CHOLERA RAVAGES.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Aug. 23.—Very little exe cept President Harrison’s proclamation is discussed here. The Cabinet meets to-day, but the canal que:tion is not likely to be discussed in the absence of leading members. | **My own opinion ts,’’ said Hon. John Hog- gart, Minister of Railways ani Canals, ‘‘that the policy of the Government would be to place Canadian shippers on the same footing as American shippers, even if they.have to recoup them from the public treasury. £ have heard nothing of the proclamation bee yond what I have seen in the press. I 56 that the President has fixed the tolls at WW cents, the Same as ig now placed on the Welland canal, and they will only remain tn effect during © the time that we continue alleged discrim- ination. Long before this we saw that it was to our interest to push ahead the 8o0o canal so astohavealine of navigation between the great lakes and our own territory. Instruc- tions have been given out tocarryon and complete the work as soon as possible. The work will be carried on night and day until that is accomplished. I think that by the end of next summer we will have a system of navigation ofour own connecting Lake Su- perior far better than the American. We will bavealock 90 .-feet long and 60 feet wide, which can holda tow and make the lockayge inone-haifthe time it can now be done on the American side.’’ Sir Adolph E. Carron, the Postmaster-Gene eral, declined to discuss the matter. The agent of the Northwest lransportation Co., Who was in the city to-day, said: ‘*I1t will not make our company lose. We will con- tinue torun, butit may have the effect of raising the rates on freight. We can dothis and still yet trade. In the endit will come out of our customers’ pocket.

Canadians arein thesame position they would be if the Government accedei to thé request and rescinded the rebate allowed on goous for Canadian ports.’’ A member of the McKay Milling Co, said the situation was serious for Canada. The move was intended io affect the wheat trade from the Northwest which now largely comes down via Owen Sound and the Soo Uanal. If Northwest wheat is still to be exported it must be via Buifaloand New York, for the freight rate eitner all rail or by canal through Canada is too high to allow of suc- cessful competition with the United states, = La ae gr ke 7 ‘3 . 3 ~ ov 2 f 4 » 4 * "§ « ” Uh ' ‘ ‘ : bs ¢ ‘ ote: ‘ 2 , $ ) t K s — - 7 ti * * ; | . ; ° » $ Reaction would also affect goods going from ~“ Eastern Canuda and Manitobdaand the Pacific coast. ‘The businessis cut so fine now that ever sOsmMall adisadvantage to Oanadian. goods must resalt seriously to Canadian trade.

More Stormy Times Assured in the . Ninth District Squabble. "BITTER FACTIONAL FEELING WILL FIG- URE IN NEXT WEEK’S CONVENTION. “Interesting Statements Regarding the Management of the Montgomery Pri- mary—Attorney-General Wood Ren- ders His Opinion—Further Arrange- ments for Thursday’s Demonstration. Reports from the Ninth Congressional Dis- trict show clearly that there is as much if not more discord than ever between the Clark and Norton factions dnd that the con- vention called to meet at St. Charles next Tuesday will be one of the stormiest of all the stormy conventions ever held in that dis- trict. Both Norton and Clark claim Mont- gomery County and whoever gets it will re- ceive the nomination. Before he left the city this morning Congressman Norton said that fourteen ofhis votes had been thrown out without any semblance of law or author- ity, alla that he intefided to have them counted. ‘‘These votes,’”’ he said, ‘‘*will give me the district without any doubt, and as they were fairly cast, I want them counted.’’ From all accounts the primary in Mont- gomery County was queerly managed all around. Reports have it that money was used plentifully and that non-residents, in- cluding the hands on the new Missour!l, Kan- sas & Eastern road, were voted right and left. The Clark men charge the Norton men with having put up this job, and the Norton sup- porters say it was justthe opposite. Oneof the judges who served in the Montgomery primary was Claude Ball, a brother of ex- Lieut.-Gov. D. A. Ball of Pike County, who managed Clark’s campaign. The following dispatch from Montgomery City gives Mr. Ball’s explanation of the rejected votes: MONTGOMERY CITY, Mo., Aug. 23, Mr. Ball was asked to day ifhe would give the names ofthe parties whose votes were not counted ana the reason why they were mot counted, and he said: ‘The first name was Mallerson. The reason for reject- ing his vote was that he was not capable of attending to his own affairs and that his estate was inthe hands ofa guardian and curator. Thenext man was M. M. Goocell, who came here from Indiana about four or six weeks ago, is nota citizen and is a red-hot Republican. The next man is named Peter Cane, who resides at ler guson, St. Louis County. The next was W. B. Palmer. He is now and has been fora ear or two living and doing business In Salis- bury and is nota citizen of thiscounty. The fifth man was T. Vashure, who its only here temporarily, has been here six or seven weeks. Heisa patent right man from Kan- sas City and ts not acitizenof this county. The sixth man was H.C. Clare. The reason Mr. Clare’s vote was not counted is because he no longer votes the Democratic ticket, but is a strong Prohibitionist and would not @ay that he would support the ticket. I could do nothing else but reject his vote, The seventh man’s name is Mike ° orarity. His vote was rejected because helives at Jonesburg in Bear Creek Township and votes there. He votedthere at the primary held on Aug. 13. Iam sure underthe law he was not entitled to vote at this precinct. I am certain Clark hascarried this county, and the voice of the people of Montgomery Coun- ty will be respected.’’ It is currently reported hereon the street this morningthat Mr. Norton will contest the election. Heclaims that seven votes at Montgomery City and three at Jonesburg were for him which he claims ought to be counted for him. The convention under the ruling of the Btate Committee will be called to order by Maj. Harvey W. Salmon, the Chairman of the State Committee, at 10 o’clock Thursday morning next. The Montgomery County contest will then be taken upandifthe con- vention does not break up in another row a nomination will be made. Hither Hough or Napton. The report was. current in political circles to-Gay, and vouched foras coming from au- thority very close to Gov. Francis, that At- torney Chas. M. Napton would be the next Judge of the Criminal Court, appointed by the Governor to fillthe present vacancy. The statement was made that Napton was sure of the appointment with only one proviso, namely, that the position was not wanted by Judge Warwick M. Hough, of 8t. Louis, formerly of the Supreme Bench. Judge Hough was untilabout one year agoa Jaw partnerof Col. Jno. -W. Overall, and it is stated that Col. Overall has authority at the present time to offerthe appointment of Judge of the Circuit Court to Judge Hough. If thelatter signifies his willingness to iy 8 ft is stated that the appointment will be made at once, and giadly, as Gov. Francis is said to be particularly anxious tosee Judge Hough occupy the bench in that court. There is said to be, however, not much pecme Day that Judge Hough will see fit to abandon his iaw practice forthe Criminal Court judgeship, andin that case Attorney Napton falls heir tothe appointment. The selection of Mr. Napton by Gov. Francis, it is thought, would be astrong move for the Governor, owing .o the undeniably potent itica] infivence wielded throughout the tate by the Napton family. Judge Napton’s father, the venerable Judge Napton of the Supreme Court, was for years one of the fore- most lawyers of the State, and a man of great force of character. Thursday Night’s Demonstration. The Executive Committee of the Business Men’s Democratic Association completed all the arrangements for Thursday night’s demonstration at meetings held last night and this morning. At the meeting last evening Chairman Gainenie of the Membership Committee reported that fifty applications including some of the best known business men in the city had been presented. At the evening meetinga letter from Col. Dick Dalton was read stating that he would gladly attend the opening mecting of the campaign and make a speech for Stone and the entire ticket. Col. Stone, Gov. Francis, Senators Vest and Cockrell, Lieut.-Gov. Claycomb, Judge Gib- son, Kev: W. Pope Yeaman, Dick Daiton and the other speakers will be escorted from the clede Hotel to the Exposition Building the Young. Democracy, a neatly uni- ormed club of young men living in the West End. They will march over Broadway and out Olive street with a band of forty pieces. The streets will be brilltantly illu- minated. The Business Men‘s Club andthe ocrats of the Western Commercial yelers’ Association will march to the hall from the Lindell. Attorney-General Wood’s Opinion. Attorney-Genéral John M. Wood has given, his ruling in the matter of the new Thirtieth District Senatorial complication. Under the rearrangement of the district boundaries the Thirtieth District as it now stands has no Senatorial representative. Several of the wards in it were in the old Thirtieth Senatorial District, which Senator E. F. Stone was elected to represent two years . He has two years still to serve and when ve term expires the new ‘thirtieth may elect a Senator, but, until then, fts in- térests will have to be watched by Stone and the Senator elected at the coming election in the McGinnis district. Gon. Wood’s opinion, given to Recorder of Voters Oarlisle, reads as follows: ' JEFFERSON CITY, Aug, 22. Hon. Jas, L.

It is said that all the money subscribed to build the road has been paid in. and that it is to be completed at the farthest time by the first of next March; the contractors, how- ever, say, weather permitting, they will have the work finished by Jan. 1. LOCUST STREET. An important movement in the business character of Locust street is the leasing of the Dasement andthe first four floors of the new Board of Education Building at the northwest corner of Locust and Ninth Streets toraterm of three years to Janis, Saunders & Co., wholesale clothers,who pay $12,000 per annum for the premises with the privilege of one three-year renewal at the Same rate. The remaining portions of this elegant structure will be occupied by the Board of Education and the Public school Library. THE DEMAND REVIVING. A few weeks since there was a good deal of talk in real estate circles about the purchase ofpror rty for railway purposes along the Nineteenth street valley, from Washington avenue north to Tyler street and east to Broadway. -Within the past few days, after having quieted down for a time,a demand for property along that route and adjacent to it has sprung up again, a big offer having been made and refused to-day for one of the corners at Twenty first and Morgan streets. WESTMINSTER PLACE. tecently H. B. Scammell, as trustee, pur- chased 600 feet of vacant property on the north and suuth sides of Westminster place, east of Boyle avenue and next east of the Fullerton subdivision, where lots have lately been selling at $125 a footand upwards. Mr. Scammell’s property is now undergoing im- provement at the expense of its owners and when these bDetterments are com- pleted the buliding sites wiil have all the advantages of the best city sewers, gran- itoid walks, telford streets and city water. the Nicholis-Ritter Realty & Financial Co. have the agency for the property, and to-day the firm reports the sale of 75x142/9 feet of it on the north side of Westminster place, com- mencing 100 feet east of Boyle avenue, at $80 a foot to Fannie E. Carroll, who is going to improve the site with two very attractive $9,000 dwellings. Nicholls & Ritter also re- port the sale of §0x170 feet of ground on the south side of Bell avenue, between King’s highway and Academy avenue, at $4/ a foot, from Charles L. Dodson to Wm, Dodd. ST.

This is probably the cheapest prop- erty in that locality, considering its eligible location on the route of the new Cass Avenues Electric Line, now in coursoof construction. When this rond isin operation it will greatly pDenefit property all along the line and fortwo or three biocks distant on either side of it, especially is this true of the section west of Taylor avenue andon all the blocks not al- realy incumbered with small, poor building improvements, OTHER SALFS.

Repairs carefully and promptly executed, AFTER A WRANGLE. Supt. Gallagher Was Not Removed Without Opposition, ees CHARITY COMMISSIONERS BASS AND PINS FAVORED HIS RETENTION, Warm Discussion Between Commission- ers Jones and Bass Over the Matter— Mayor Noonan Does Not Know That the Board Had the Power to Remove Gallagher—City Hall News. It was well known yesterday afternoon at the City Hall that the Charity Commissioners were holding a stormy session in the com- mittee-room of the House of Delegates. Al- though the doors were locked and transoms closed the well known voices of Lawyers Jones and Bass could be heard from thecor- ridor, evidentiy engaged inavery heated discussion, The executive sessions of the board held prior to this during the course of the Investi- gation had not been marked by any great amount of harmony or unanimity of opinion. It was evident to some members of the board that notwithstanding the damaging testi- mony given by Supt. Gallagher against him- self in admitting that he took $700 at one time and $40 at another from Chief Clerk Bourdon, that at least one member and possibly two were inclined to overlook this when it came tothe time to vote upon the question of re- moval. Mr. Henry Pins was openly commented upon as taking littie or no interest in the itn- vestigation, and as chairman of the board it was noticed that Mr. Bass virtually turned over the functions of his position to his fel- low lawyer, Mr. Jones, who did all the cross- questioning of witnesses. Mr. Moffit and Mr. Battle both took active parts in the investigation and re-examined many witnesses after Mr. Jones had put them through the mill. The impression given out by the actions and conduct of the individual members of the board was clearly that some difficulty would be experienced in reaching a unani- mous vote, which was necessary to remove any of the officers or emploves of the Institu- tion. That this impression proved to be well tounded was demonstrated at yesterday’s executive session. Just beforethe meeting, which was set for2o’clock, Mr. Moffitt said to a Post- DISPATCH reporter, ‘*We will be able to give you our report in about ten minutes,’’ intimating that the course to be pursued was pretty well understood and agreed upon, but when the board met he and Mr. Jones and Mr. Battle were very much surprised to hear Mr. Bassand Mr.Pins say they aid not think sufficient evi- dence. had Deen adduced tv cause the removal of Supt. Gallagher. The statement came like athunderclap whichis not unex- pectedand was the opening signal of the general storm of hot and heavy words which followed. The entire evidence had to be gone over, and it took just one hour of solid argu. ment to convince these two gentlemen thatthe investigation would be dei:cunced asa farce and the board asa set of ‘‘white- washers’’ if the superintendent of the Poor- house was not removed and other officiais treated in the same manner or at least given a warning and a severe reprimand. The necessary unanimous vote was finally ob- tained and upon the doors being thrown open Mr. Bass announced to the reporters the re- sult. The disaffection created is likely, it is feared, tocause asplitin the board, which will result in one or two resignations, GALLAGHER’S SUCCESSOR. Mayor Nootran said this morning that he had not been officially notified of the removal of Supt. Gallagher of. the Poor-house, and did not propose to take any action inthe matter until he had been advised by City Counselor Marshall of the powers of the Board of Charity Commissioners and his own duties in the premfses. ‘*‘Can Mr. Gallagher hold over until you flll the vacancy?’’ ‘*I don’t know that there isa vacancy. I donot propose to settle these questions of lawt myself, as thecity provides the Mayor with his legal counselor, aad until Mr. Marshall returns to the city lshali take no action whatever.’’ ‘‘If Mr. Gallagher is removed or leaves voluntarily who will run the institution?’’ **All of those institatiuns have been with- out superintendents for periods of six or seeen months atatime and they generally managed to get along allright enough, but I do not think Gallagher will leave there until some one else is appointed, if that is neces- sary to be done.’’ The general impression prevailing regard- ing the Charity Commissioners and the power they exercise is, that the board Is the creature of the Municipal Assembly and hold all their powers by ordinances passed by that body. Thisis not the case. The board was created by the Scheme and Charter, and the power to remove any officer from institutions under their supervision is ex- pressly giventheminthat instrument. And the charter also provides in express terms that the Mayor shall not reappoint any offi- cer oremploye so removed by the board. This is in art. 4, séc, 49, of the Charter, and sec. 67, chap. 5, of the Revised Ordinances, was passed in pursuance of this article. Board of Public Improvements. The Board of Public Improvements met this morning, President pro tem. Holman pre- siding and all the members present except President Burnet and Street Commissioner Murphy. The applications for permits to erect poles along Olive street for electric light and tele- phone wires were rejected. There were two of these applications—one made by the St. Louis Electric Light & Power Co. and the other by the Bell telephone Co. The electric light company wanted toerect poles from Fourth street to Tenth on Olive, and the tele. phone company from Fourteenth street to Ohanning avenue. The 18th of September was fixed as the day for letting work on the reconstruction of twenty different streets with granite and also for the work on five public and one district sewer. These sewers are to be located on Fillmore street west of Pennsyivania avenue, on Pine street from King’s highway west to Lake avenue; on Kuclid avenue from the River Des Peres to King’s highway, On Thir- teenth street from Market to Olive, on Ne- braska avenue and inthe Rocks Spring sec- tion near Manchester road.

There were a Sant ten bids for the work on the Mill Creek Sewer repairs, and without making any award it was announced that the name of the successful bidder would be given at 4o’clock inthe Sewer Commission- er’s office.

JESSE DAVISON HELD. The Coroner’s Jury Decides that He is Re- sponsible for John Johnsen’s Death. The mystery surrounding the death of John Johnson, the negro who died at the City Hos- pital last Saturday morning from the effects of being stabbed July 27, was cleared at the inquest held this morning by |\Deputy Coroner Meade. The controversy between the Police Department and the City Dispensary physicians,as to WhO was respon- sible for the case not being reportedand in- vestigated was also virtually settied in favor of the Potice Department. As the result ofa neat piece of detective workon the part of Detectives Tim Danaher and Joséph Schoppe, what atthe time of Johnson’s death was a badly bungled case, isnow fully explained, and Jesse Davison, colored, who lives in the rear of 914 Morgan street, is held to answer for Johnson’s killing. On July 27 Johnson was treated at the Dis- pensary and sentto the City Hospital. No report was made of the cutting. When Johnson died last Saturday Dr. Nichols, the City Dispens physician, stated that the man had be brought to the Dispensary in a police patrol wagon, which was the reason no report was made of the case, ASs- sistant Chief of Police Reedy instituted an in- vestigation of the case, which resulted in the arrest yesterday afternoon of Jesse Davison, Charlies Willlams and William Murray. Davison and Murray were arrested on the steamer City of Providence opposite Oaron- delet at4p.m., and Williams was arrested in the city. At the inquest to-day Williams and Murray located the blame on Davison, although they denied that they said Davison cut Johnson. Their statement, which was cor- roborated by other witnesses, was to the effect that the trouble which led to the cut- ting began in the house of Lena Belle, who keeps a colored rooming-house in the rear of 6u9 Lucas avenue. yr. to the testi- mony Davison, Murray and Williams were at the place between 8 and 9 o’clock in the even- ‘ing when Johnson camein. His home ts said to be in Natchez, Miss., and he ran the river between here and points South. When Johnson entered Davison and Murray were playing dige and Johnson joined the game, loosing a _ nickel. A controversy followed between Johnson and Davison, which resulted in Davison. declar- ing that he had but 60 cents, which he turned over to Johnson to hpld, and requested Williams to search him tosee if he had any more. When Johnson returned the money It fs claimed he gave back but 50 cents. A quarrel followed about the dime, Johnson clatming he did not get it from Davison, and Davison claiming he did. The four men left the house with Davison and Johnson quarreling, and entering the alley proceeded west about twenty-five steps, where the cutting Is alleged to have taken place. Lena Belle, who Keeps the place, and some of the girls who have rooms in the house, testified substantially tothe above, either in whole or part. The Belle woman stated that as the four men left her door Johnson was walking backwards andtheother three fol- lowing him. She did not see the cutting, but saw Johnson run out of the alley holding his side and calling, ‘‘I’m cut.’’ Davison made a statementin which, after reciting the’ difficuity In accordance with the statement already given, excepting as to Johnson’s backing down the alley, which he denied. He stated that Murray was between him and Johnson trying to make peace, Johnson had his knife out, Davison sald, threateningtocut him, when he drew his knife and cut at Johnson around Murray, bat did not know whether he cut Johnson or not, Murray explained his not seeing Davison cut by stating that his back was towards him. In tracing the matter the detectives claim that they located Johnson within four blocks ofthe Dispensary on the night hse was cut going in the direction of the Dis- pensary. They claim , to have. ac- counted for every run made by the patrol wagon of the Central and Chestnut street stations on July 27. , After hearing the evidence inthe case th jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death froma stab wound of the chest inflicted by Jesse Davison, colored, on or about the 27thof July, 1892, inan alley in the rear of No. 609 Lucas avenue. ® Officer James Murphy, who arrested Jesse Davison yesterday on suspicion of being the murderer of John Johnson, claims that ‘Davisonisthe same map who is wantedin Arkansas for killing a negro roustabout some two years ago.

The Round Top Market, at Third and Bid Cle streets, one of the busiest marts of com- mercein St. Louis, crowded as it is each morning with scores of housewives of the North End, was excited this MmMmorn- ing by the operations of a pick- pocket, who arose early and mingled withthe crowd around the stalls, Mrs. L.

August 93, 1899, | GOT THE TALE, 7 M. J. Boylan Knew the Sixth ‘Street Incendiary Plot. He Charges Abe Slupsky With Com- plicity in It. A WARRANT AGAINST FRENCH ISSUED ON HIS EVIDENCE. The Mysterious Friend of the Insurance Companies Appears and Tells Chiefs Reedy and Desmond of theConspiracy— The Incendiaries Were to Get $1,000— Slupsky Absent From the City— Statement About the Fire From Messrs. O’Neill and Silkirk. Acting Chief of Police Patrick Reedy and Chiet of Detectives William Desmond to-day got all of his story from, the man who warned*the insurance companies that incendiaries were to fire the butid- ings occupied by Saloonkeeper John O'Neill and Auctioneer A. A. Selkirk. The informer is Michael J. Boylan, who has an agent’s office at No, 116 North Seventh street, and buys and sells land and other kinds of property. He used to be in the furniture business on Twelfth street with John J. Fitz- Willlam, and before that he was the partner in the furniture business of James B. French, the former member of the Salvage Corps who was arrested yesterday on sus- picion of having set fireto the buildings. Chiefs Reedy and Desmond wentto Boylan for information because he was supposed to be on intimate terms with both the men under arrest and John PD. French, his brother. John D. French was formerly a police officer and was removed from the force in consequence of a mysterious fire that took place in his house after he hada covered it with insurance. At thattime, according to the report of Detectives Viehle and Allender, who investigated the affair for the Police Board, Officer French was suspended from the force, but he dressed himself in his unl- | form and went to oneinsurance office after another to get a policy on furniture. In two cases he got the policy for the $2,000 he asked for, and each oneoftheir agents canceled the policy as soon as they found out what the circumstances were. Our agent became suspicious, and sent out to the house to ex- amine the furniture, but was refused admis- sion. Through his uniform Officer French finally obtained a pojicy of $1,200, and then the fre dropped him. The detgctives, in going over . the ground then, encountered Boylan, who said he had sola French the furniture which had been insured. Boylan also had some goods stored with Auctioneer Selkirk when that gentleman’s place of business burned on Seventh street nearly two years ago. Capt. Charles Evans, Chief of the Salvage Corps, was at that fireand said to-day atthe Four Courts that there were some queer circum- stances aboutit. After thefirst flre was all out, he went insidethe placeand congratu- lated himselfthat mostof thecarpets were saved. They were hanging up, dry and untouched by the fire. He put a policeman on guard at the door, telling him to admit no one, excépt those in charge of the. premises, to the place. **After- wards,’’ said Caot. Evans, ‘‘somebody got in and stuck a mowngnaye in those carpets and set them on fire. A still alarm was turned in, the engine and turned water on the carpets they were ruined,.’’ A WARRANT ISSUED FOR FRENCH. This Wm. Bb. French, the brother of the James B. under arrest, walked Four Courts to-day in his shirt sleeves un- easily, while the detectives were getting Boylan’s story from him.

These men want to send me to the pen and they have been trying to do it for years, but they never have succeeded, and they won’t do it this time.’’ **What object could Carroll and Barron have in getting Boylan to rob you?’’ ‘*Well,’’ said French, doggedly, ‘‘that’s what they are after.’’ French was told Boylan had said he and Slupsky were to get $1,000 for firing the houses. He shook his head. ‘‘Never. said anything ofthe kind to Boylan;’’ said he. And then he added the information that Slupsky was an insurance detective and trav- eled around the country in the interest of the companies. *‘*Were you employed by Selkirk that you were sO much about his place?’’ he was asked. **NO, not employed; I was around there ap- praising. My businessis speculating.’’ **Were you at the fire when the department came up?’’ **When the time comes, I'll have witnesses who will prove whereI was. Iwon’t say now wherelwas. You see whatIlam going up against, andIdon’t want to let my ene- mies see whatIam going to prove by my witnesses.’’ MR. O’NEILL’S STATEMENT. Chief Desmond found a barrel of turpentine in O’Nelll’s cellar yesterday withthe head alittle burned. The fire had barely reached it. He tooka bottle full of the oil out, and he and Detective Tracy tested It, finding that it was mostinflammable. To-day he went to get the barrel and found that somebody had overturned it completely and spilled all the turpentine. He had a talk with John O’ Neill about this. Mr. O'Neill said he had no idea howthe turpentine had got there. Mr. O’ Neill was talking to Chester Krum to- day when a reporter saw him and asked him how it happened that his insurance had been increased just before the fire. ‘‘I renew all my policies in August,’’ said he, ‘‘and this time [increased my insurance $5,000 because of the big stock I had on hand and the tailor store in frontof thesaloon. I had $15,000 on the building, and $14,000 on the stock and fixtures, just $5,000 more thanl had last year.’’ **How do you account for the fire?’’ **IT don’t know;I know though, that that explosion was only the alcohol.’’ \.r. Selkirk said: ‘‘My insurance was $12,- 500 altogether. Will Barron attends to all my insurance. He comes in here, takes a look around at the stock and says, ‘*Well, I think you ought to have some more insurance. He knows my business thoroughly. He happened to put $1,000 more than usual on the last time, but that doesn’t justify those mean _ insinuations about me that nave appeared in the papers. I don’t care what anybody says about incenditarism, Iam con- fident that the fire was caused by those elec- tric light wires in here and O’Neilll’s saloon. The explosion was nothing but the vapors from the liquor in the saloon.’’ Mr. Selkirk then expressed himself in very uncomplimentary terms about Mr. Carroll, Capt. Evans and the Furlong men, whom he held responsible for the injurious reports in circulation. was much surprised when he heard that Boylan had told the police. never employed by me,’’ said he, comes here to look at Stock, that beingin in the line of his business. fire, althouzh I know O’Nelill- has a good many bitter enemies.’’ A Suburban Blaze. A fire at the intersection ofthe Manchester and North and South roads did $10,000 worth of damage yesterday morning, burning the Windom Post-office, a large grocery, saloon | and feed store, and the residence of Henry Horn. A £mall Fire. At 5:30 o’clock this morning a fire broke out in the three-story brick bullding at Nos. 108 and 110 Lucas avenue, occupied Dy Jacob Myer as a saloon and boarding-house.

He and Abe Slup- sky, the Second Ward politician, and an- other man whose name Boylan could’t re- member were to dividethe money. Boylan alleges that French told him, ‘*Who was to pay the money?’’ asked Chief Reedy, ‘*Boylan said he couldn’t remember. After he got the information betold J. Will Bar- ron, the insurance agent and A. P. A. organ- izer, about the plot, and Barron told Charies E. Carroll, the unaerwriter. Mr. Carroll then gave Capt. Evansthe information and employed the Furlong detectives to watch the endangered houses. Boylan was seen by a PosT-DISPATCH Tre- perter while he waited in the Prosecuting Attorney's office. He refused to talk about the fire, and said that the detectives bad all the information he was able to give. Boylan isa small man, with a deep, biuish-gray eye, and appears to be in much fear. FRENCH AND HIS MOVEMENTS. During the talk wlth Assistant Prosecuting Attorney two pew points were brought out that will be used as evidence upon the tria’” of French. One was that he had been much about the two places where the fire occurred, was in the auction rooms frequently and often went into the saloon of John O'Neill. The other was his presence near the scene of the fire before the fire department got there. When the sixes came clattering down Olive street and wheeled around Sixth streetto the fire, As- sistant Chief Tom Finnerty saw one of the laddermen, John Shea, instead of working, staring intently at some object on the side- walk, ‘‘What’s the matter with you?. Why don’t you get out that ladder?’’ shouted the As- sistant Chief. ‘**Yonder’s the man,’’ Shea shouted back to him, *‘*Yonder’s the man that set this place on fire!’’ The man at whom he was pointing was French. Abe siupsky, whois implicated In the affair by the statement of Boylan, is not in St. Louls. Mr. Selkirk says he thinks he is in Denver. Chief Reedy said, after the warrant for French had been issued: ‘‘I shall apply for a warrant against Slupsky_ also, if it is refused I shall go be- the Grand-jury and ask _ that body to finish the investigation. We are hampered by our inability to send for rsons and papers.’’ . Chief Desmond said: ‘tl don’t know whether we'll be able to get a warrant for Sslupsky or not on the evidence we have, but we are going to try to get It, if possible.’ WHAT FRENCH SAYS. James B. Frenchis a thick-set man about go, with a small biack mustache. The police regard him as one of the sirewdest men they have ever had to deal with, and ohne sees that intalking to him. He has been quite self- possessed In talking to re- rters, and has never given way to fright, ‘hen a Post-Dispatca reporter told him that parses & testimony had caused a war- rant to be swore out against him, he said: **Le’me -_ you .. cuee Bes pped for a few seconds, and re- owly: st > ak a Se PY aa ~4 ‘ee a es 4 ° BY. ‘ . « = a ‘ff t saloon and were | | | | {roll and Will Barron are all in| J. ¥.

Small Receipts and Low Grading Cause an Advance in Price. There is nota corner in August oats, but there is a strong probability that the shorts will be subjected to that milder and less drastic process known as a squeeze. The difference between the two isone of degree rather than of kind, but there now seems little likelihood that the market will be cornered, The shortage in August oats is small, and no anxiety would have been felt had it not been that the re- ceipts have been light, and the grading poor. AS a consequence some of the shorts became frightened, and in the effort to stand from under pushed the price both for cash oats and for the August option up to gsc. This August option has been sold at 27%c. The principallong is Cockrell Bros, Mr. William Cockrell states that the entire shortage does not amount to over 140,000 bushels. The firm holding the heaviest iine contracts. is that of J. 4 They are short about bushels, but Mr. Thomas kooth states’ that the contracts were made for a country shipper, that the grain is now coming in, and that all contracts will be set- tled by the delivery of the actual oats. To- day’s receipts were large, amounting to fifty cars, of which twenty-three graded No, 2. Large receipts within the mext few days are expected, as this market is now the highest in the country. ‘ Sons, IT KILLED HIM. A Bricklayer Who Lost His Life Trying to ® Supporta Reckless Boast.

A St. Louls attorney who went to Baltimore to investigate the affairs of the Order of the Shield claimsina letter from there thatthe reason that the funds, which have now been he says, have not been distributed, is that no less than four differentreports have been filed, to which exceptions have been taken by some of the members, who thought they ought to have more than the huditor’s re- port showed. Anotherreportis now on file, and ifno exceptions aretaken to that a gen- eral distribution will take place in three or four weeks the attorney ciaims. About 40 per cent will be declared; this is 10 percentless than if no trouble had been given, and distribution occurred a year ago, he says.

They Do Not Seem to Thrive Well in Our River rising, for St. Cat As nn JAPANESE BAMBOOS, Climate. from Garden and Forest. . The Japanese bamboos which are attain- able seem to be all native of Southern Japan. The French nurserymen have sent these out under names of their own, generally botani- cal ones, but a number received with the native names seem to be duplicates of those from France. The Japanese, curiously enough, use Chinese names for these and other plants, as was found in tracing up the translations of the names among some of our miid-mannered Occi- dental merchants. For instance, the Japan- ese name for bamboo Is ‘*Take,’’ but botan- ically the Chinese ‘‘Chiku’’ is used in con- junction with the varietal name—thus Kim- meichiku is the square-stemmed bamboo (Castelloni of the French); Kokuchiku is the black bamhoo (Bamboo nigra in French Cat- alogues); Hamchiku isthe spotted bamboo. Coming from this warm section, which I beHeve has a somewhat humid atmosphere, the bamboos seem to require a warmer spring than ours to wive theman early start. In my garden, atleast, which has a cold, clavey soll, they do not seem quite happy,and begin to make growth rather late in the ward seems to be required to make them wre It is very probable that my plants, which years, are in too heavy soil and in too dry a position todo their best and that with careful planting and attention they might make a more thrifty growth, but I doubt if, with their late-moving habit, they are likely to prove satisfactory toany but xrowers who fancy unusual plants. They are the slowest of plants, also, to become estab- lished and are not things tobe shifted from one position to another at the pleasure of the prower. As pot plants for conservatory decoration they grow somewhat better, the humid at- mosphere seeming to suit them, and their pe- cullar decorative value ‘s useful among trop- ical plants. Being grown there soaps also re- sent moving outside, and quickly show their resentment by withering foliage. As far as my experience goes, I am forced to conclude at present that the bamboos are in the garden much inferior in value to the other noble grasses, as eulalias, arundos, erl- anthus, etc., which so rapidly each season form grand masses of graceful foliage and require little careor attention. However, as it is the uncommon and difficult plants which sometimes prove the most interesting, it is to be hoped that further trials of the bam- boos in New Jersey may allow more favorable reports. HIS LIFE-WORK. What an Old-Tims Ccmpositor Has Done in Handling Type. From the Nevada Democrat. ‘*Uncle Alex’’ Crockett, acompositor on the Noticer of this yee has recently passed the 60th mile-post of his Hfe asa printer, Mr, Crockett has spent the greater portion of his life at the case, and this is what he has accomplished: At an average of three columns a day he } has ‘‘set up’’ 56,160 columns. This type put in anewspaper of elght col- ums to the page would fill 7,020 pages. At five minutes per column it would take one year, three months and thirteen days to read this amount of matter. If measured by the ‘‘em’’ it would aggre- gate 140,400,000 ems. At 35 cents per 1,000 emsthis amount of labor would be worth $49,140. This much type would weigh 786,240 pounds. It would contain 421,200,000 letters. Ifthese letters were laid end to end they would cover a distance of 5,81642 miles. It would make 11,232,000 lines. He could have set che unabridged edition of bho» al Dictionary 13 times or the bible 45 mes. If placed in one long column it would reach 22 miles. ae If the metal were molded into bullefs it would furnish ammunition to fight the war of 1812 and then have enough type left to set 5coples of ‘*‘Poor Richard’s Almanac,’’ 3 of Talmage’s sermons and 295 patent medicine testimonials. As we go to press ‘‘Uncle Alex’’ is at his case whistling ‘‘Comrades’’ and ‘‘pulling out’’ oof a ‘‘fat take.’’ —. DIN WIDDIE’S CHICKEN. Miniature Eggs Which Won a Collar-Box Pet. From the Detroit Free Press. ‘*‘Speaking of bantam chickens,’’ remarked Dinwiddie, when the conversation turned to poultry, ‘‘Ihave a hen whose eges are so small that I put three dozen of them ina col- lar box the other day.’’ ‘‘Give him the Ananias Club medal!’’ shouted the rest, in chorus. **Have of you gentlemen money with which to back your doubt of my veracity?’’ **I have $5,’’ replied Gaswell. **So havel,’’ replied Dukane, ‘ ee enough! I’ll cover both of those ets.’’ ‘*Very well. Now show show us the eggs in that collar box.’’ **Well, Ican do itif you insist perhaps it may not be necessary.’ ‘‘Of course it’s necessary! You don’t ex- nect to win our money without proof, do you?’’ ‘*Not atall, but I merely wish to observe that it was a horse-collar box thatI put the eggs in.’’ With some difficulty the matter was com- promisea and Dinwiddie was warned that — hext break of the kind would cost him his e. on it, but The Ancient Yew. From Chambers’ Journal. The yew is the oldest of British trees, specti- mens being still alive which, according to De Candolle, are not less than 2,000 years old. In many places throughout the country, es- pecially in the west of England and in Wales, wemay still stand beneaththe flourishing branches of yews which werenearly grown at the time of the Conquest. At Aldsworth, in Berkshire, there is stiil living a yew which measures at the present time 27 feet in cir- cumference, and must be at least 1,000 years old. This fine tree is referred to in More’s ‘*Berkshire Queries,’’ under the date of 1760, where itis recorded that it was ‘‘nine yards in girth.’’ Sothat for at least 130 years it has not increased in size. At Bucklebury, in the same county, stands another thin-scarred patriarch, which also measures 27 feet in oS wherethe branches spring from the runk, An interesting group of fine yews exists at Watcombe, ou the road from Hungerford to Oxford. The trees are planted inthe shape of a clolster court with a pond in the center, onthe site of a pre-Reformation religious edifice connected with the Benedictine Monas- tery of Huxley, to which house it was given by Geoffrey de )\ andeville about 1086 A. D., and referred to in the ** Pipe Rolls’’ under the date 1166 A. D. The tinclosure is still called by the people of the district ‘*Paradise,’’ the origin of which name can now only be conjectured. it is probably a relic of some ancient monastic symbol. he same name ts given to other groups, such as those at Gres- ford, near Chester; at Chichesterand at Win- chester. A Husband’s Desperate Stratagem. From the London Daily News. Just as M. Trobert, the Commissary of Po- lice for the ‘‘Enfants Rouges’’ district in Paris, was about to sitdown to dinner the other day he was startled by the appearance of a well-dressed man, who rushed inand sald: ‘*‘My wife wants to leave me,and I cannot bearit. My name is So-and So, and I live inthe Rue de la Franche-Comte.’’ As he uttered these words the stranger took out a knife and plunged it into his breast. In- stantly the floor Was covered with biood, and he fell apparently Iifeless. A doctor was sent for, and at the same time a mes- senger was dispatched to the Rde de la Franche-Comte. The wife hearing the fearful news rushed round and, throwing herself into ber husband’s arms kissed him and swore she had no intention of leaving him. ‘*Very well, then,’’ said the injured man, ‘‘we will be up off home,’’ and w ping the stains of biood from his clothes, he go up none the worsefor his adventure. ‘ihe blood was some pig’s blood bought ata pork butcher’s and carefully concealed in the breast inside a builock’s bladder. . ‘ihe hus. band, having had quarrels with his wife, had hit upon this means of frightening her,and at the same time testing her affection, and had improved upon the example of the Prince Regent, afterwards GeorgeIV., at the time he was courting Mrs. Fitzherbert. » Warrants Issuei To-Vay.

DEMOCRATS FROM ALL SECTIONS RE- SPONDING TO THE CALL. Party Leaders Urge Their Constituents to Cometothe Aidof the Northwest—A Chance for Every Democrat— Money Is Needed to Educate the Doubtful States. The New York WORLD, to which the &t. Louis Post-DisPaATCH and the other papers enlisted inthe work of raising a Western Democratic campaign fund have been re- porting, now has in its fund $18,035, 61. This money has been contributed by Demo- crats from every section of the country, who recognize that the fight against Republican- ism must be made not in one section alone but ‘‘all along the line.’’ New York is always uncertain, Illinols, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Nebraska have been Republican but are now conceded to be doubtful. The Post-DispatcH is receiving contribu- tions from earnest Democrats who want to help carry these States for Cleveland, but there are thousands who have not subseribed and the time for work is nearat hand. The leaders of the Democratic party here and throughout the country have indorsed the movement, and Democrats ought to rally to the support of a plan which the National Committee says will be an essential aid in carrying the election for Cleveland and Stevenson. The Twenty-fourth Ward Democratic Olub has taken the matterin. hand and Is doing some active work to enable the party to win in the West. There isa movement in the Young Democracy, which meets at Uhrig’s Cave, to aid the party in its work inthe West, The fund has been made popular and sub- scriptions, no matter how small, will be re- ceived. Every dime will do some work. GOV. W. E. RUSSELL SUBSCRIBES. MASSACHUSETTS” EXECUTIVE INDORSES THE BOSTON GLOBE’S PLAN. Boston, Mass., Aug. 22.—Gov, Russel] in- dorses the Democratic Western campaign fund and sends the Boston Globe a check for $100, with the following interesting letter: COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, EXECUTIVE IJKPARTMENT, Boston, Aug. 22, 1892. To the Editor of the Globe: Permit me to franemitthrough you a subscription to the Western campaign fund started by the New York WORLD and so ably seconded by the Globe. Every campaign vigorously conducted involves a necessary and proper expenditure of money for edu- cation and organization, amd such expenditure is not open to just criticism. The purpose for which money is used and the source from which it comes are, however, a proper subject of investigation and criticism. The priacipal source of supply of the Republican party confes- sedly has been and will be from special interests which demand at its hands favorable legislation as payment for their contributions. I believe this is a dishonest and immoral bargain between a party and its beneficiaries against public policy and atthe people’s expense. It is @ pur- chase of political power under obligations to use the people’s law for the benefitof the few to the detriment of the public interest. It has led to corrupiion, eXtra vagance, class legis- lation and improper use of the great power of taxa- tion. Itis constantly teaching the mischievous lesson that popular government can be used to advance selfish interests, and will be so usea if those inter- ests control valuable contributions to sueh party’s success. Such policy and legislation the Democratic party vigorous!y opposes, and in this opposition it faith- fully represents the interest of the people and ful- fills its mission as the party of the people. It is eminently fit that in such a contest it should cali and reply upon the people to sustain it with their con- tributions in the campaign, as well as with their ballots at the polls. This popular subscription gives point and em- phasis to the character of the political battle which isto befought. Itisthe people, their interests and their government, legislation by them and for them, against the idea of a government of benefits and bounties by a party for itself and its beneficiaries. I believe the wholesome moral effect of a people’s campaign subscription witl be quite as beneficial as its material aid. The purpose of the subseriptivn is right, and the field forits use has been wel! chosen, while the Democratic party does not intend to relax any effort in any State, it wisely determines to per- mit the people by their contributions to aid the great popular movement ia the Western States, which from victories already won, give every promise of a great national Democratic victory, which will re- lieve the peopie from unjust burdens and give to them the control of their own Government. Very truly yours, WILLIAM E, RUSSELL. CHARLES B. HOWRY IN LINE. NEW YorkK, Aug. 23,—‘‘I think the WorRLpD’s Western campaign fund deserves the hearty indorsement and encouragement of all good Democrats,’’ said Charles B. Howry, the Mississipp! member of the Democratic Na- tional Committee, who arrived at the Hoff- man House yesterday. ‘‘Itis bound to con- tribute to the success of the party inthe Western States. I think asimilar fund might be beneficialin the South. In my State, how- ever, there is not the slightest danger to the Democrats. We will carry it by an over- whelming majority. There isa contest in one Congressional district, but Idon’t think the Democrats can possibly loseit. You can say that the outlook in Mississippi is most Satisfactory and encouraging in every re- spect. The People’s party inthat State will nothaveany material effect on the Demo- cratic yote.’’ THE TILLABLE WEST. The WorRLD editorially speaks as follows to-day: ‘‘Stilson Hutchins, indorsing th WoRLD’s Western Democratic campaign fun says: ‘The West is more ‘‘tillable’’ than the East. Money expended in Illinois, Iowa, Wiseonsin and Minnesota in spreading the right kind of information will bring back im.- mediate fruit. This tells the whole story. The great Westis ‘‘tillable’’ ground, and it has been left uncultivated for years. The farmers, devoted to their ‘thard and con.- tinuous labor,’’ have been satisfied to vote with the Republican party in national elec- tions because they were associated with it years ago, and they plodded on contentedly, without changing their views or examining closely i@to the political questions of the day. Grover Cleveland was among the earliest *‘tillers’’ of the Western soil. His constant condemnation of unjust taxation enforced through high and unfairly discriminating tariff duties led naturally to the conviction that the farmer was one of the principal suf- ferers. In his annual message to Congress in 1886, Mr. Cleveland pointed out how the farmers, to meet the daily wants of their household, are forceii to pay excessive and needless taxation, while their products Struggle in foreign markets against the undue competition of more favored agricultural populations. He said: ‘‘Our farmers and agriculturists— those who from the soll produce the things consumed by all~are perhaps the more directly and plainly concerned than any other of ovr citizens in a just and careful system of federal taxation. Those actually engaged in and more remotely connected with this kind of work, number nearly one- half of our population. None labor harder or more continuously thanthey. No enact- ments limit their hours of toil, no interposi- tion of the Government enhances to jany great extent the value of : cn es | * AE oe = their products, and yet for many of the necessities and comforts’ which the most scrupulous economy enables them to bring into their houses and for their bus- bandry they are obliged to pay a price largely increased by an unnatural profit which, by the action of the Government, is given to the more favored mantfacturer,’’ This plain statement of the case wags well calculated to impress the farming population, backed as it was by the convincing logic of the message of 1887, and followed up by this concise appeal inthe parting message of 1888, when Mr. Cleveland was about to retire from office: “‘Qur farmers, long suffering and patient, struggling in the race of life with the hardest and most unremitting toll, will not fail to see, in spite of misrepresentation and misleading fallacies, that they are obliged to accept such prices for their products as are fixed jn for eign markets, when they compete with. the farmers of the world, that their lands are de- clining in value while their debts increase, and without compensating favor they are forced by the action of the Govern- ment to pay for the benefit of others such enhanced prices for the things they need thas the scanty returns of their labor fall to furnish their support or leave no margin for accumulation. The re- turn of the Republicans to power in 1889 was signalized by a more unjust and unfairly discriminating tariff for the benefit of fa- yored interests than had ever before been enacted. Even while the party was driving this scandalous measure through Con- gress under the whip and spur of executive influence, and with the certainty that it would raise the cost to the consumer of nearly every necessary of life, the leading Republican statesman ofthe day was impelled to warn the farming popu lation that the McKinley bill would\ not open a market toa single barrel of American pork ora single bushel of American wheat. The reward of this Republican statesman was re- pudiation by his party machine and rejection by his party’s national convention. These are the seeds that have. been planted in the tillabie West and have already brought forth fruit. Itisto weed the ground of Re- publican error and to encourage further the growth and spread of truth that the Western Democratic campaign fund was started. It is now for the benefit of the Democratic party alone thatthe fund is designed. It is for the better protection of the vast agricul- tural population of the United States, for the advancement of the country’s honor and greatness, for the happiness and prosperity of the whole people that the work of the po- litical redemption of the West is desired. And tothe success of this work the move- ment now fairly inaugurated will contribute more than any other single effort could pos- sibly accomplish. * For this reason we ask your assistance, Is the cause worthy? Wtll you help? An illustrative difference. ° The WorRLD also says: ‘‘The difference in the Republican and Democratic methods of raisipg campaign funds Illustrates a vital difference between the two parties. The members of the Protective Tariff League, nearly fifteen hundred in number, have been officially assessed $100 each to aid the Repub- licansinthecam@mpaign. Many of the mem- bers have given much more thanthis. None will give less, The League will probably con- tribute at least $250,000 to the Republican campaign fund.’’ Every dollar of this great sum is asked and given to defend the bounttes which the mem- bers of the Protective League receive under the McKinleytariff®. It is acontribution from greed to power. It is a premium paid by per- sons licensed to tax the consumer ofthe United States, to insure them against any re- duction of their exactions, The Western Democratic campaign fund is the voluntary ‘contribution of people inter. ested for the common press in securing a re- duction of taxation and atriumph of the Democratic principle. Over 2,600 persons have already contributed to it. Many thou- sands more will give before the fund is closed. The Republican fund is made up of tolls from the bounties of monopolists. The Democratic fund,represents the free gifts of the people in support of their own cam- paign against plutocracy. Democrat State Committeeman Wiley of Buffalo talks with encouragement of the presidential outlook. He thinks New York will give Cleveland 80,000 plurality, and adds: ‘*T have traveled through the West recently, and it would not surprise me if we carried four Western States which went for Harrison four years ago.’’ They are worth fighting for, and the West- ern Democratic campaign fund will supply the ammunition, Forwarded by Mr. Edw.

rom THE WHITE LILY. Pythian Knights in Full Possession of Kansas City. —=—s _BANDS AND BANNERS HEARD AND SEEN ON EVERY STREET. “a The Supreme Lodge Began Its Annual Eession To-Day—Reports of Olficers Showing Excelient Condition of the Order—Twenty-csighth Year of Its Ex- istence—The Endowment Rank. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 23,—The Army of the White Lily has taken Kansas City. The Knights of Pythias arein possession of the town. The doveof peace perchedon the Pythian banneras the Knights marched in and the occupation of the city was a blood- less one. Kansas City simple opened her fates, turned the keys over to the husts and the Knights marche d in. The occupation by the army may have been a peaceful one, but it was accompanied by much noise and confusion. Ever since Sun- day the throngs of Knights ahd their ladies have been arriving on crowded railway trains, marching through crowded streets to the crowded Camp and overcrowded hotels and lodging-houses. Nearly every arriving hbedy of Knights has been accompanied by a band, and when not so accompanied have oon provided themselves with the various ise making instruments for sale at every street corner by enterprising fakirs. The re- sult has been and is continuous confusion and noise. The city’s population has been nearly doubled in three days by the visiting throngs. The normal population Sunday was, accord- ing to Mr. Porter’s census, 138,000. To-day ft is estimated at 200,00@, the increase being Knights of Pythias and civilian visitors. Trains bearing visitors almost innumerable continued to arrive all last night and up to noon to-day with a frequency that taxed the resources Of all the railway stations. The organized bodies of Knights were escorted quickly to camp, while the individual visitors sought places of refuge, with indifferent suc- cess, at the hotels and lodging-houses. Camp George B.Shaw presents a truly mar- tial appearance, although gaily decorated with flagsand bunting ofthe Pythian colors. The guards solemnly pace their beats as if the fate of an army depended upon the strict performance of their duty. Aides and orderlies scurry hitherand thither with an energy worry of real army service. “The general military rules and proprieties are strictly observed. Thecamp is occupied by s0me twelve thousand members of the uniform rank. They havecome from every State and Territory in the Union and from Canada and Mexico. . This afternoon they will participate in the grand parade of ail the uniformed bodies. The great procession is scheduled to move at 4o0’clock. THE SUPREME LODGE. The seventeenth biennial meeting of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of the world, commenced this morniog and will continue in session forten days, or until all the business before it Is completed. A public reception was tendered the mem- bers of the Supreme Lodge at9Yo'’clock this morning. The hour was fixed thus early on account of the necessity imposed by the rules of the lodge, to dispose of a certain amount of business at its firstday’s sessions. ‘The reception was held in the Grand Opera- house. The auditorium was appropriately decorated in honor of the occasion. Sus- pended from ,the center of the proscenium arch hung a huge shield bearing the Pythian coat ofarms. Festoons of the order’s colors were draped about the baiconies and from the chandeliers to balcony pillars were stretched folds of biue, yeliow and red bun- ting ine stage was occupled by the members of the local Reception Committee, the Goyv- ernor ofthe State, the Mayor of the city, several prominent citizens and these officers of the Supreme Lodge: supreme Chanceilor George B. Shaw of Eau Claire, Wis. ;>upreme Vice-Chancellor Wim, Worth Blac«well, Hen- derson, hy.; Supreme l’relate Eil T. Black- mer, San Dtego, Cal.; Supreme Master of Excheguer Stansbury J. Wiliey, Wil- mington, Del.;Supreme Keerer of Records and Seal Rubert Loney Caruthers White, Nashville, Tenn.; Supreme secretary of En- dowment Rank William 8H. Kennedy, Chi- cago, Ill.; Maj.-Gen. James Richard Carna- han, Indianapolis, Ind.; Supreme Master at Arms George H. Morrison, san Francisco, Cal, ; Supreme inner Guard, M.C. Barkwell, Cheyenne, Wyo.; Supreme Outer Guard John Wesley Thompson, Washington, D. C. The exercises consisted merely of addresses of welcome and a response. Gov. Francis welcomed the visiting knights on behalf of the commonwealth of Missouri. Mayor Cowherd extended to them the free- dom of the city and F, M. Hareser, Grand Chancellor, Knights of Pythias of Missouri, welcomed them in the name of the local Pythians and of the great West. Supreme Chancellor Shaw, tn an eloquent speech, con- cluded the eeremonies by responding to each of the addresses of welcome. The Supreme Lodge then adjourned to Masonic Hall, where jt went Into secret session. The proceedings of the lodge to-day con- sisted of the initiation of new members and the hearing of the reports of the Credentials Committee and the various Supreme officers. After the initiation of members Supreme Chancellor Shaw presented his report. CHANCELLOR SHAW ’S ADDRESS. In his report tothe Grand Lodge the S&Su- preme Chancellor congratulated the order upon its steadily increasing progress and its continued prosperity and upon the harmony which universally prevails. The order en- ters the twenty-eighth year of its existence, saysthe report, with a splendid army of more than 300,000 men marching steadily for- ward under the tri-colored banner of Pythian- ism. One yearago, 263,000 names Were en- rolied upon the rosters of membership throughout the supreme jurisdiction. With- in the past twelve months this number has been increased to 308,000, making un increase during the year of 44,000 0r about one-sixth. No fraternal organization inthe 27th year of its existence has ever been able to attain such a percentage of increase, The development of the uniform rank isa marvel. The record shows an increase of 15% new divisions during the past year, witha total membership exceeding 35,000, Deing an increase during the year of six thousand members, or Over one-fifth. The Endowment rank isin a healthy con- dition, and has safely weathered the storm of mortality which, during the past six months, has caused many of the olderand longer esjablished associations to shorten sail, and is now entering,as I! believe, a year oi unparalleled prosperity. At the time the Pythian Congress was last in session, July, 1800, the numerical strength of the order, as shown by the official reports forthe year ending Dec. 31, 1889, was as fol- lows: Number of grand lodges, 47; number of subordinate lodges, 3,724; membersbip of the order, 268,847. Official reports July 1, 1992, show: Number of grand lodges, 54; number of subordinate locges, 5,866; mem. bership of the order, 893,716, or an increase in the two years ending July 1, 1892, of 110,117, belng at the rate of 49 per cent. Maj.-Gen. Carnahan presented a report on the management and condition of the uni- form rabk. CARNAHAN'S REPORT.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 23.-—The mint authorities have been greatly inconvenienced ‘in preparing the Cesign for the Columbian Exposition souventr coins, owing to their inability to secure a representative picture ot Columbus. It was the original intention to work from a painting by Sotto, but owing to the characteristics of the face, which were not in Keeping with the generally accepted appearance of the man, a more perfect portrait was sought. The matter was reterred to the mint bureau at Washington, and an etching by Follition from Suardo’s Columbus was for- warded, from which the model wili be made. The portrait has been copied from the orial- nal painting in possession of Dr. Deorchi of Jomo. It was previously the property of Paolo Giovo, at Como, and remained in his collection for several centurss,going thence by bequest to Dr. Deorchi. ‘This Columbus portrait was always reputed to be a true original, and it hung = on the walls of Giovo’s home during the life- time of Columbus and while the two were In- timate friends. It has been at various times attributed to Sebastian LuciafisS, to Antonio Rancon and to Lorenzo Lotto, but it is now absolutely established to be the work of Bar- tholomew Suardo. Both the French and American writers have expressed the Delief that this is the only authentic portrait. See them Heffernan’s Ficture Frames.

CHicaGco, lll., Aug. 23.—Sam Moy, whois prominent in the Chinese colony in Chicago, surprised government officials by informing them that orders had been received from China not to obey the law requiring Chinese residents to take out certificates of residence. Iie saidthe Government of China had sent one of its officials to this country to fight the law in the courts. This. Minister from the Chinese Court was in Chicago a few days ago, he said, and had in- formed him and others of the wishes of the Chinese government. ‘The representa tive from the Celestial empire had gone to Washington to secure the best levaltalent to be hadand the law wouki be testedinthe United States Supreme Court. A test case would be made of the arrest of some Chinamen in De- troit where they were heldon the charge of Violation of the exclusion law, passed by the present Corgress. In this way the exclusion actand the provision compelling Chinamen to take out certificates of residence would be tested together. Until a decision was ren- Gered, he said, no Chinaman in Chicago would take out a certificate. _— Not Obey the Steinway Pianos. Large stock in all cases and styles, BOLLMAN Bros.

Officers cf the Public Stock Exchange Dis- charged by Judge Anderson, The Mining Exchange Branch of the &t, Louis Public Stock Exchange resumed busi- ness this morning. John L. Tracy, Mana- ger, and John P. McDermott, John J, Mul- holland, H. W. Chambers, Chas. Hayden, Charles Wagner, Philip McDermott and John A. Monroe, employes ofthe Exchange, were discharged in the Court of Criminal Correction yesterday afternoon after Acting Judge Anderson had heard the evidence in the case. As was stated in the Post-Dis- PATCH yesterday, the Manager, John L, Tracy, and employes were arrested for violating a State law by oper- ating a bucket-shop, the prosecuting witnesses being A. 8. Knapper, Willie Fox, P. H. Moore, John Pope, A. A, Wiseman and Police Officers Kelly, teully and Sears. Only one other witness was examined yester- day after Moore was excused, and that was Officer Kelly, who was subjected_te a very rigid examimation by Chester H. Krum, at- torney for the defendants. Judge Krum wanted to know why Kelly didn’t back his hoodlum wagon up to the Merchants’ Ex: change and oring the President of the Ex- change, officers and employes of that institution to the Four Courts, and also the officers of the othermMining Exchange. Juage Krum did not puta witness on the stand but read a section of the law referring to bucket-sbops. Inalengthy speech he en- deavored to prove that the prosecution had introduced no testimony showing shat his clients were guilty of operatinga bucket- shop and moved the court that they be dis- charged, -inasmuch as the court should be satisfied that the Mining Exchange owned mines in California and other States and re- ceived daily quotations from Chicago and had aright to buy and sell stock the same as any other corporation. Aftera short argeu- ment by ex-City Counselor Bell for the prose- cution the defendants were discharged and resumed business at their old stand this morning, as stated. ns ee oo —_———— NOW OPEN. 415 WASHINGTON AV.

Steps Being Taken to Improve the Stream —Capt. Spahr Here. Capt. Burt Spohr of Boonville, Mo., arrived inthe city yesterday and took the Govern- ments steamer Alert up the Missouri River last night to make improvements at the mouth of the Osageand at St. Joseph. The officers of the Missourl River & Kansas City Transportation Co. claim that the river is in such a condition that they werecompelled to take the steamers State of Kamsas, State of Missouri and A. L. Mason out of the trade, and consequently no steamboat is plying the water between St, Louis and Kansas City, very much to the disgust of farmers living along the river, who have thousands of sacks of wheat stacked u along the river banks miles from a railroa track. Capt Spohr in speaking of the con- dition of the Missouri River this morning, said: ‘*The river is ina very condition —as good as could be expected at this season ofthe year. Thereis at present five feet of water in the river, enough to float a light- draft steamer. which would enable the farm- ers who have put confidence in the large steamers to ship the grain they have stacked up aiong the river banks with the anticipa- tion of the steamboats moving it for them,’’ Three leaders in our ready-made cloth- ing department to which your special attention is asked; Ist.

Some Reasons for His Unpopularity—Chi- cago Will Have Sunday Baseball Next Year—Jack Skelly’s Amateur Record— The Goddard-Smith Fight—General Sporting News. The base ball world will be treated to some big changes next season, but the most un- looked for undoubtedly will be the transfer of Capt. Adrian CC. Anson of Chicago’s famous White Stockings to New York, where he will take complete control of the Giants. Ansonand the Chicago management scout the idea, but their denials are put in such a manner as to leave aleeway when the event really happens. Chicago base ball men look upon the mat- ter as a certainty. Anson has donea great deal for the sport in the Windy City, and yet he is not popular with the frequenters of tne South Side Grounds, ; A policy which has caused dissatisfaction in other places besides Chicago—of turning down old favorites to make way for younger and cheaper men—was the prime cause of his stepping off the pedestal of popularity. The loss of Gore, Silver Flint and Dalrym- ple caused great dissatisfaction among the “‘rooters.’’ Ed Williamson’s admirers also claimed that he would never have deserted the Chicago League Club when the Brother- hood war broke out hadit not been for the dislike he entertained for Anson. Pfeffef’s action in leaving the clubatthat time was also attributable tothe same cause, and the manhnerin which Tommy Burns was treated by the big Captain only served to add fuel to the flames. Anson’s success last season with the Colts served to Keep thé kickers quiet, and while they did not get much of a chance to demonstrate what they thought of Anson the fact that he was unpopular with quite a big contingent of the followers of the ae gamein Chicago became guite evl- ent, This season Anson’s fallure to hold his own in the championship race with the colts gave his enemiesa chance to jumpon him, and they did in the most approved manner, The poor game the club was putting up af- fected the attendance and at many of the ganies the audiences were made up almost exclusively of the big Captain’s enemies, who made matters extremely uncomfortable for him. While Anson has been slow to recognize the fact that asa star attraction he was fading rapidly, Spalding & Co. sizea up the situa- tion pretty thoroughly and came to the con- clusion that the best thing that could be done would be to transfer the big captain to New York, where his ability as an organizer was sadly needed. Spalding owns the better part of the New York club, andthe poor showing they have made the garly part of the season was felt financially. With a winning team in Gotham big money can be made, but a losing team can not drav/ an audience. Poor attendance in New York has a depressing effect on the national game and the League magnates applauded when Spaulding gave oul the tip on AnsoOn’s trans- er. When asked aboutthe matter a few days ago Anson said he would play ballin Chicago until he was ready to quit playing. This answer does notin anv way conflict with the transfer, as ‘‘Your Uncle’’ will not don a uniform in New York but act solely in the capacity of manager. When the team comes to Chicago, bowever, it is likely the old man will put on a uniform and cover first for the Glants. Big asthe South Side grounds are they would hardly accommodate the crowds that would come out to see ** *Uncle’ play withthe Colts agin him.’’ The transfer of Anson will mean that Pow- ers and John B. O’Day willhaveto yo. As Spalding owns the team this can be carried out without much difficulty. Just who will replace the O14 Man on first with Chicago isa mystery as yet, although young Decker, who Is playing right field, wij! probably be the man, providing he pans out allright. Decker’s reguiar position ts at first where he played when with When Chicago secured Decker thought Anson was going to The old man, however, fooled every- body by continuing to play and utilizing Decker intheoutfield. President Hart will, when Anson leaves Chicago have complete control of the club. The departure of Anson from the Chicago Club is not the only radical change that will take place in the Windy Clty base ball circles. Fora long time the management have had the matter of playing Sunday games under consideration. Last week it was announced publicly that, providing the World’s Fair is not open, the Chicago Club wouid play sunday games next season. As the chances are the Columbus Exposition will not be open onthe Sabvdath, the White Stockings wiil surely play Sunday games. Grounds to enable them to do so have already been secured.

One evening last winter when seated around a atable at Delmonico’s Restaurant Messrs. Hunter, Withers, Cassatt, Walcott, Donner and J. A.and A. H. Morris arranged the sweepstakes of $1,000 each, play or pay, for 2-vear-olds, each subscriber to name three horses and to bring one to the post. The gentlemen were all turf- men who have had years of experience and they selected three entries from the pick of their stables. Mr. Cassett entered Loot, Foxtall and Tartana; Mr. Wal- cott, Miles Standish, Spartan and Clement; Mr. Hunter, Onawa, Chicago and Daglito. The Morris entries were Agile, Gallantry and Minnehaha, and Withers named Experiment, St. Michael and achestnut colt by Marcus out of Cadence, The only good horse of the lot, 8t. Michael, is now owned by Gideon & Daly and is, therefore, inelligible. After Mr, Withers’ death Fred Gebhard was, by private agree- ment, allowed toenterthecolt Experiment, which might have been renamed Failure. Mr. Cassett will Rave noth- ing to enter. ‘The horses who will go to the post this afternoon are Exper!l- ment, Foxtail, Minnehaha, Annie F. Colt and Spartan. Leaving outthe last named, the fleld will be the poorest lot of fillles that have faced the flag this year. Mr. Walcott is conceded to have the stakes at his mercy With Spartan. Ofthe original entries Agile and Gallantry, who were thought to have all the big stakes at their mercy, have met with accidents and may never start. Chicago was sold in disgust by his owner, and Onawa is worthless. The others, with the exception of st. Michael, seem to have slipped under the waters of oblivion. EAST S1. LOUIS JOCKEY CLUB.

Jack Skelly’s entrance into professional pugilism bas a decided tinge of the romantic. To jump fromthe amateur ranks and fight the cleverest man who has ever held the feather-weight championship of the world for $17,500 is a thing unparalleled in the his- tory of the prize Ting. A prize fighter bat- tling forthe money wherewith to marry his waiting sweetheart is something new in pugilism and Skelly will carry the good Wishes and hopes of thousands who have read his romantic story in the Post- DISPATCH, « Skelly’s amateur record as given in the New York WORLD furnishes interesting reading. Skelly made his debut as a fighter on Jan, 17, 1888, defeating Bibby Jones in five rounds at Long Island City. He next met Tom Hickey, who lasted two rounds in front of the coming amateur champion, At the Brighton Ath- letic Club tournament, Feb, 6, 1889, JacK won his class handily, beating two old-timers, Frank Neager and Dave Chenevick. The fol- lowing victory was at the championship meeting of the National Association of Ama- teur Athletes, where he won the feather- weight champlonship from four others. A match was then made between Skelly and Frank Neager, and took place at the Park Athletic Club tournament. Although Neager was ten pounds heavier than Skelly, he cried, **Hold, enough!’’ after Being drubped forone minute thirty-nine seconds. Sighting for more worlds to conquer, Jack journeyed to Newburg on April2 , 1890, and experienced little difficulty in defeating all aspirants for the 118-pound championship of the country. John McTiernan looming up about that timaasa coming 125-pound man, Skelly bestirred himselfand got on aten-. round match, which was decided at thie Na- tional Athletic Club, McTiernan yas little more than a chopping-bleck for the Brook- lyn boy. Cutting loose in the tenth round Skelly knocked McTiernan down three times, the interference of the referee stoppinga knock-out. In the Brighton Athletic Club tournament held Feb. 14, I891, Skelly en- tered the 120-pound ‘competition. defeated H, McAlister and H., lerman in the preliminary and Jack Roach forfeited to him in the final. Skelly next won the !20-pound class at the National Athletic Ciub’s tournament, and was then matched to fight Mike Leonard, the Varuna Boat Club’s slugger. Mike put up a hardand vicious fight, but was outclassed, by Skelly. The latter’s last fight was the mem- orable contest with Johnny Gorman, the ex- champion, at the Clermont Avenue Rink, Brooklyn. Gorman gotthe decision: at the close of three rounds, but there has always been a dispute as tothe correctness of Kef- eree Adler’s opinion, skelly haa far and away the best of the last round and unpreju- dice:!, tair-minded men.have contended that an extra round would have been the proper thing. TO-NIGHT’S CONTEST. Joe Goddard, the Australian heavyweight, who defeated Joe Choynski twice in Australia and who put out Joe McAuliffe in San Fran- cisco recently, will encounter Billy Smith in San Francisco to-night. Advices from ’Frisco state that both Goddard and Smith are in splendid condition anda rattiing good con- test is in consequence expected. Goddard has confined his training principally for leg motion and wind, and thinks that his coming xo Will be the best one-sided fight he has ever had, ‘*They say.l am slow over here,’’ said the Barrier champion the other day, ‘‘and think I can’t catch a man in the ring. ‘*My fight with McAuliffe is no criterion to go by, for thereI hada great big fellow be- fore me, whom I had never seen before, and 1 did not know anything about him. If some of the big fellows had gotthe punch on the side of the head I received from McAuliffe in the third round they would probably have had as much respect tor him as I did,’’ Goddard still carries a big welt on his left temple as evidence of the force of the blow he received. = ‘‘lr | was going to fight bim again,’ con- tinued he, ‘‘of course I would act differently. With Smith it will be different. — He is of the ordinary size and 1 know his sty/e of fighting pretty well. Slow or not, I must say 1 have been pretty successful in the ring, Goddard expects to enter the ring to-night at about 188 pounds. Smith will also fight at about the same weight. Very little betting is being indulged in by the Frisco sports over the oulcome of the contest.. Goddard seems to be looked upon as a winner toa certainty, and of course he is the favorite. Smith has been handled ana will in all probability be seconked by Aleck Greggains, who will meet Costello shortly, George McKenzie will be in Smith’s corner. WILL SETTLE THE CHAMPIONSHIP. NEW ORLFANS, Aug,‘ 23.—A match between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Hall now seems probable. Nr. George H.

He Denies the Charges of Ex-Treasurer J. M. Anthony: Railroad Commissioner T. J. Hennessy was inthe city yesterday and in answering the charges of Josiah M. Anthony, late Treasurer of the Grain Department, took exception toa number of his statements. Mr. Hennessy denied in toto that he had ever asked Treas- urer Anthony or any one else to manageor conduct the campaign of Col. Dalton in Mad- ison or any other county. ‘*I know enough about Missouri and her people to understand that they submit to no dictation from offictal or other sources in matters political. I admit that I favored Col. Dalton for the gubernatorial nomina- tion, but at no time did I use my official posi- tion in his interest. It has been claimed that the Grain Department was at work through- out in the interest of Daiton, which 1s an ab- solute falsehood. ‘‘Mr. Anthony feels that he has a eriev- ance. He was put in the department more than a year ago at a salary of $1,500.at a time when it was considered necessary to havea treasurer. Since then the office work has been simplified to such an extent that bis services in the opinion of the Chief Inspector could be dispensed with. He was employed with the distinct understanding that he was to perform other clerical work and attend to collections for the department in addition to his few duties as treasurer. He was given a fair trial, encouraged throughout by Chief Inspector O’Shea, but he seemed to lack the qualifications neces- sary tothe discnarge ofthese duties. After athorough investigation, Inspector O’Shea concluded that he could personally attend to most dof this work and, in the interest of economy, he recommended that the place be vacated, assuring the board that his office force could attend to the work, thereby sayv- ing $1,500a yeartothe department. On that recommendation the board abolished the office without a particle of resentment against Mr. Anthonyor any of his friends. It is an injustice to the Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners to charge that political considerations figured in Mr, Anthony’s retirement from the Grain De- partment.’’ re LOW RATES TO WESTERN CITIES.

Louis Police De- partment and thg St. Louis newspapers have from time to time reccived startling sugges- tions and directions from some person whose mailing station is O’Fallon, Ill. Labor troubles, earthquakes, international compli- cations and other important events call forth utterances of some relation to the disturbing event ofthe day.

DEATH WARRANT. A call for the righteous,or them that can undo what they have done against others. The five ruling laws of the English Government cannot be respected. Judges, lawyers, priests, doctors and preachers will be brought before the people to answer for usurped rights and immoral teaching.

THE CHARITY BALL. | The Opening of the Olympic by the Frohe« man Company. Theater goers who appreciate an excellent Play admirably rendered in all its parts en- joyed a treat at the Olympic last night. That theater opened the season with Belasco and De Milles’ ‘‘Charity Ball,’* performed by Dan- lel Frohman’s Lyceum Theater Co. Mr. Froh- man has long held the opinion that the strength of a company consist¢ not in one or two stars, with. a number. of alleged luminaries of microscopic magni- tude, but is having all parts well taken, and wortny of true artists. ‘Yhose who have ob- served his course cannot fail to have re- marked that he has chosen with singular skill plays in which there were a large number of prominent characters, and with the fine force how at his“ disposal such plays can be most excellently rendered. This fact was abundantly apparent at last night’s performance. Although the company has been scattered, and there has been no opportunity for rehearsal, the play pfoOceed- ed without a hitch, and the enthusiastic ape plause of the audience bere ample tesilmony to the character of the work done. As Ann Cruger Miss Georgie Cayyan wasin her ele- ment. The delicate points of the character were brought out in a graceful, quiet, but striking way that marks the true artist. The part of Jobn Van Buren wags taken by Herbert Keicey in his usual effective style, the portrayalor strong but repressed passion being particularly well done.
