Locomotive Engineers Will Not Join in the Fight—The Conference of Leaders Not Yet Held—Night Attacks on Non- Union Men Continue—Recruiting at Scranton—On the Central—The Strike Outlook. BUuFFALo, N. Y., Aug. 24.—Chief Arthur of the enginneers has, it is believed, indicated to Mr.Sweeney of the Switchmen’s Orderthat it will be ‘‘impossible’’ for him to be present here at the proposed conference. This is construed to mean that the Engineers’ Order ‘will have nothing to do with the switchmen’s difficulties, and that the Engineers’ Order will not co-operate in a sympathetic strike. Reasoning from this some conclusions may be reached. Mr. Sargent will not take out his men to ald Mr. Sweeney’s men, unless all organized railway menalso goout. Mr. Ar- thur’s men will not come out, therefore Mr. Sargent’s men will not come out; and these facts leave the conductors, the trainmen and the railway telegraphers as the field in which Mr. Sweeney must search for aid in his difi- culties. The conductors and telegraphers, it is believed, have Httle in common with the gwitchmen and the trainmen are more close- ly associated with other orders than with the switchmen. Mr. Sargent announced yesterday that he would leave the city this afternoon, going to his home. Hence Mr. Sweeny must consum- mate his conference to-day or conduct it without the presence of Mr. Sargent unless indeed. Mr. Sargent should return, which is not deemed probable. The impossibility of Mr. Arthur’s attend- ance, ard his refusal to participate has taken the edge off public interest in Mr, Sweeney’s conference, and itis now believed that with Mr. Sargent departing to-day, no positive re- gults to Mr. Sweeney’s advantage will follow from the Council ne has called. Mr. Sweeny himself recognizes the situation as quickly as any other person, and public rumor has it that’ he will adopt one of two widely difference courses, either deciare officially that his fol- lowers have been defeated by the companies who employed them, or tocall outalil the other switchmen onthe lines that were af- fected by the recent strike of switchmen in this city. In the meantime there are only three roads affected—the Western New York (whose gwitchmen went out Monday), and onthe Lackawanna and Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts- burg, whose switchmen quit yesterday after- moon. Already the Western New York & Pennsylvania road has partially replaced the strikers and is handling some trafiic to-day. The Lackawanna claims to have hew switch- men close at handand the Buffalo, Roches- ter & Pittsburg areto-day putting on new men. On the other roads, where afew days ago there was a strike, there is notrouble. Other switchmen areconducting the work which the idle men refused tQ do. Trafficis moving about as it did a month ago. Whether Mr.Sweeney willaccept the advice of the conference, if given, and give up the present struggle without first exhausting all the resources at his command ts problematl- cal. The news from Rochester this morning would seem to indicate that he will not, but intends, as was indicated im these dis- patches on Saturday, to nag the roadsj by strike after strike all along the systems and to endeavor to harass them intoagreelng to some sort of compromise. NIGHT ATTACKS. The strikers and their sympathizers con- tinue their night attacks upon the troops and fMon-union men. The|Buffalo and Southwesteru division of the Erle tried to send out an un- guarded freight train on its road last night. There were three non-union men on top ofthe ears. As the train slacked upnear Seneca streeta lot of strikers boarded itand threw the three non-union switchmen off the cars and assaulted them with coupling-pins. Charles R. Henstenz was severely cut and was taken {nto the Erie round house, where a surgeon dressed his wounds. Allen Richardson, who halls from Boston, was so badly injured that he was takentothe hospical. Henstenz says his assailants triedto throw one of the men under the train. After the assault the men fied before analarm could be given and es- ‘ gaped. There was the usual annoyance to the troops last night and early this morning, but beyond the affairat Tift Farm, nothing of a serious nature is reported. Another attempt was made to wreck a train in the yardsat Suspension Bridge at 90:30 o’clock last night. Aneast-bound New York Central freight was making up and get- ting ready to leave. While backinginona spur at the Eastern end near the Lockport road a switch wasturned between the trucks ofacar and the result was thata car of the train was derailed and thrown on its side. The train was stopped and the derailed car cut out. The switch house, where the gwitch tender stood with his lantern, was only four rods distant, but the marauders made good their escape. Capt. Kirby in command of troops in the Central yards shops hopes that he may start home to Auburn with his second separate company this afternoon. Central traffic is going forward without guard and the road now practically drops out of consideration as to the effect of the recent strike upon its business. The same may be said to be truveof the Lake Shore and Erie and the other lines originally involved in the switchmen’s campaign. Messrs. Sweeney and Sargent expected Chiefs Clark and Wilkinson of the Oonduc- tors’ and Trainmen respectively at an early hour this morning, butthey did not’get in. There isa suggestion madethat Clark and Wilkinson may have stopped off at Cleveland to consult with Chief Arthur of the Engl- neers. The conviction has grown here that Justice King of this city, before whom the arrested strikers have been arraigned for Wiolence, had been dealing with them in a manner toolentent. Hence the four riotous strikers who were companions of Manahar, who was yesterday shot by a Twenty-second Regiment picket, were to-day arraigned, not before the Police Justice, but before Judge Green of the Supreme Court, They were committed to await the action of the Grand- Ors AN EARLY MORNING ALARM. A detachment of Company I, Twenty-third giment of Brooklyn in command of Lient. hadarun in with some men in the ight yards of the New York Central at aga early this morning. The yard- had reported that ogee gay - of cars were belng p and a detail was sent out to look for the persons who were doing this work. The saw four men acting suspiciously and they gave chase tothem. Anumber of shots were fired by the soldiersand two men gave themselves up. The othertwo escaped. The prisoners were taken to the court this morning and held to the Grand-jury. At Rochester it isnow learned that a num- ber of switchtenders, train conductors and yardmen also struck with switchmen makin fifty inall. Allare now at work again but may go out this afternoon. Early this morning a Lehigh Valley engine was backing a work train to East Buffalo when it struck a sleeping soldier, John De, lanty of Company D, Twelfth New York. Hé was taken tothe Emergency Hospital, where the doctors cannot say whether or not he will recover. Sheriff Beck says: ‘‘Under the present cir- cumstances it would be unwise to remove any of the troops. We are getting the most serious part of the business.’’ | Says Adjt.-Gen. Porter: ‘‘The troops will remain here until the law is obeyed and re- Spected and there is nofurther danger to persons and property. If more troops are — they will come and be kept for the same erm,’’ NOW IN CONFERENCE. BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 24,3 p. m.—Grand Masters Sweeny, Sargent, Clark and Wilkin- son have just gone into conference at the Broezel House. From pres- ent indications it extremely improbable that the strike will spread. Clark and Wilkinson say their men have not presented any grievances and that they are not going around the country looking for any. is DID NOT CONSULT ARTHUR. CLEVELAND, Aug. 4.—Inquiry at the office of Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers developed the fact that E. §s. Clark of the Order or Railway Conductors and 8. E. Wilkinson ofthe order of Railway Trainmen did not siop off at Cleveland to ronsult that gentleman. Chief Arthur is in momentary expectation of a call to North Carolina to atterid to matters of dispute between the engineers and the officials of the Cape Fear & Yodkin Ratiroad, and for that reason can’t, at the present time, visit Buffalo in compliance with the request of Grand Master Sweeney. SWITCHMEN OUT AT ROCHESTER. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Aug. 24.—The_ switch- men employed in the Central Hudson yards at East Rochester went on strike this morn- ing. The switchmen have no grievance, and their action is prompted by sympathy for the Buffalo switchmen who struck a week ago. About thirty men went outthis morning. At 8:30 it was reported thatthe day switchmen hada not reported forduty. Michael Mullen, the night yardmaster, heard that the men were going out at 10:30 o’clock last night. He heard the news from one of the switchmen who was approached by a committee while he was atthe East End of the yards. The committee told him that he was: expected to put out his lantern and quit work at 4o’clock in the morning. ‘*Who are you?’’ asked the switchman. **You fellows do not earn my bread and but- ter,’’ he contended. Thecommittee said that he had better join the strike. When he told this to Yardmaster Mullen, the latter immediately got a prompt response from his message to Mr. Gould, but he did not say who were the ones who cecided thata strike was the proper thing at this Stage of the war. Two men sent here by Sweeney got theday meninthestriking mood and last night a meeting was beld in this city. The day men were at this meeting and afterit was over a committee went to the yardsand ordered the n&ht men out. The night switchmen told Yardmaster Mullen they would work as hard as they could to get the yard cleared of freight. They Kept their word, too, and at 4 o’clock when they locked their switches and left the yard it was cleared of freight cars. The men at the west end of the yards stopped work on the stroke of 40’clock. Three min- utes later a telephone message was received at Mr. Miullen’s office stating that the men there had stopped work. Sweeney’s men have also been working among the switch- men onthe buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Road, and the understunding . was that these men shouid jointhe East Rochester men. The number of day menand night men em- ployed in the East Rochester yards is about seventy-five. Lieutenant of Police Ryan went to the East rochester yards shortly before 4 o’clock with adetailof patrolmen. He distributed the mep through the yards. No violence of any kind is anticipated at the yards on the part of the men who have gone out. RECRUITING AT SCRANTON, SCRANTON, Pa., Aug. 24.—Two carloads of section men and extra trainmen numbering 110 were sent to Buffalo from this city shortly after midnight this morning by the Dela- ware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad to supplant the switchmen, who struck yester- day afternoon on thatsystem. They were secured principally from the Southern and Bloomsbury Divisions andinthe yards here, and without being given an opportunity to go to their homes they were hurried here to await orders. General Manager Halstead had hurried direct from New York to Buffalo, and Supt. Bogart had charge of the gather- ing of this force of recruits. They were not informed as to the work expected of them until nearly time to leave Scranton. Some of them rebelled against going, but were given the alternative of working or quitting the company’s employ and on the question of ignorance as to whythe switchmen struck the company ofrecruits left here in a solid body for Buffalo. FUNDS FOR HOMESTEAD. O’DONNELL’S MISSION JIN EASTERN CITIES—NOT A POLITICAL TOUR. New York, Aug. 24.—Hugh O’Donnell has been making atourof New York and New England to collect funds forthe relief of the locked-out men at Homestead. He came here last Thursday with Burgess McLuckle and is staying on Staten Island. He said to a reporter that there was no mystery In his leaving Homestead. He went away because he was sick and needed a change and because he wishes to present to the workingmen of other cities the case of the locked-out men, He had visited Toronto. Buffalo, Syracuse, Lockport, Utiea, Albany, Boston and New York. On his first visit to Boston, he said, he had raised considerable money through meetings called by the Central La- bor Union and by the Bullding Trades As- sembliys He was at Boston again and spoke ata meeting last Sunday night. It is pro- osed, he went on, to raise $20,000 in New envgiand by holding meetings in all the cities andtowns. Ofthis sum $17,000 has already been subscribed in Boston and been for- warded to Homestead. In other parts of the country the canvass will be carried on actively. Hesaid thatthere was no politics in his tour; that he was not making too many proposals for deals. He believed that his cause would be ruinedif it should get mixed up with politics, He was not ina position, he said, to beable to ‘‘deliver goods’’ any- way. 9:27 a. m.—The switchmen ig the New York Cen- tral yards at East Rochester went on a strike this morning. BLOWN UP WITH DYNAMITE. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 24.—A car loaded with steel ingots, consigned tothe Carnegie firm at the Thirty-third street works, was blown up with dynamite or some other high explosive on ae side track of the Allegheny Valley Rallroad at Thirty- fourth street last night. This is the first attempt at destruction of property around the Carnegie city mills and caused great excitement both inside and outside of the company’s works. The body ofthe car was badly shattered andthe contents scat- tered in all directions. So far ascan be as- certained no one was injured. A reserve force of police was summoned and quickly surrounded the place, but no one was cap- tered and no clew tothe perpetrator was found.

COAL CREEK CAMP. - — Rumors of Signal Lights Seen on the Mountain Tops. LITTLE PROSPECT OF SPEEDY PUNISH- MENT OF THE RIOTERS. The State Has No Power to Place the Dis- turbed District Under Martial Law—A Change of Prisons—True Story of the Siege of Fort Anderson—Military Sup- plies. COAL CREEK, Tenn., Aug. 24.—The search ofthe mountain sides for outlawed miners continuesunder direction of Gen. Carnes. But few arrests have been made in the past twodays. The truth is there are no more men to be foundinthe country round about who had any connection with the insurrec- tion, They have either fied across the bor- ders into Kentucky or Virginia, or they have effectually concealed themselves in the laurel thickets of the mountains, and only emerge when night comes and gives them cover from their enemies, Since the man hunt began the camp at Coal Creek has been filled with rumors of signal lights seen at night flashing on the mountain tops; of horns sounding at mahy points, hootings like the call of owls, answered back across the valleys. These are tales of scouts and pickets. These reports furnish the mill- tia lads with material from which to write thrilling letters to the ‘‘girls they left behind them.’’ Supplementing these camp rumors a moun- taineer came in last night and at headquar- ters made the statement that he and a com- panion had discovered a hospital in the mountains a few males from Coal Creek, which the miners had improvised in a cave. He says he saw twenty-one dead thereand a large number of wounded. Little credence was given the story, but its truth will be determined by a scouting party to-day. Some ofthe officers belleve that the tale may be a ruse to draw a small force of soldiers into an ambuscade. Sincethe siege has been raised there has been little shoot- ing, infactnoneat all at closerange. The miners have shown no disposition to mass themselves and meetthe soldiers, and there has been nobody killed in the desultory long- range warfare that has been kept up be- tween the outposts and foes in the hills. Hereis an incident which illustrates the character of the men who are In rebellion, A miner who had fired several times atthe camp from one spot on the ridge, about 800 yards distant, and was so well covered that he could not be seen, exchanged three shots with the mountain howltzer before he re- treated, The howltzer was trained on the spot from which the smoke of his rifle rose, and sent a cannister of 852 No. 1 buckshot hustling across the valley. The bushes were cut all around the sharp-shooter, and for the first time he showed himself. He arvuse to his feet, took deliberate aim and fired his rifle at the men handling the gun, They heard the bullet whistie, and a moment later sent another shower of buckshot around the miner. Hedid not show himself again, Dut his rifle spoke, and the bullet from it struck the cannon. .He replied to another shot, then left his pit, satisfied with his display of nerve. The imprisoned mountaineers have been re- moved to the Coal Creek school- house. There are about 150 of them. Every man found armed during the insurrection, or any one directly connected .in the instigation of lawlessness onthe partof the miners, will be held as accessorios before and after the crime, and all will be indicted for the murder of John E. Walthall and B.T. Givens, who were killed inthe fight Friday morning. The fear ofan attack is wearing off. The miners’ organization, while oath-bound is notcompact, andit is not likely that they Willagain enterinto a pitched battle with the militia. As to what will result in the event that the troops are withdrawn, nobody doubts that other attempts will be made on the convicts, andif they are not successful the mines may be fired. If themen now paces arrest were punished by the county, hat might havea salutary effect, but there is little hope of this being done. The news from Nashvilie that it is impos- sible to try the rioters by court-martial hasa depressing effect on the State officials here. ty MARTIAL LAW IMPOSSIBLE. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 24.—Goy. Buc- hanan’sattorney has informed him that it is impossible for either the Governor or Leg- islature to declare martial law in Tennessee, He says: **It has been often stated during these trou- bles, bothinthe newspapers andin public speeches, that martial law should be de- claredin the insurrectionary counties and the offenders tried by court martial, and ap. peais are being made from East Tennessee that this be done. Tne idea seems to be prev- alent, among people of intelligence, too, that the Legislature, and among some that the Governor, may declare martial law. Itis important that the exact state of the law on this subject be known that the people and civil officers of the State may see at once —— remedies they have and where they are odged. The power to declare martiallaw and sus- pend the writ of habeas corpus does not exist in the Governor, nor in the Legislature, nor indeed in any department of the State Goy- ernment. The framers of our present con- stitution, smarting under abuses of the executive prerogative during and succeeding the late war, went toan extreme on this question which now, unfortunately, most seriously cripples the powér of the State to deal with crises of this kind. Secs. 24 and 25 of drt. lof the Constitution of 1870 are as fol- lows: Sec. 24. That the sure and certain defense of a free people is a weil regulated militia, and, as stand- ing armies intimes of peace are dangerous to free- dom, they ought to be avoided as far as the circum- stances and safety of the community will admit; and thatinall cases the military shail be kept in strict subordination to the civil authority. Sec. 25. That no citizen of this State, except such as are employed in the army of the United States, or militiain actiye service, shall be subjected to pun- ishment under the martiai or military law. That martial law, inthe sense of the unrestricted power of military officers or others, to dispose of the persons, liberties or properties of the citizen is inconsistent with the principles of free government, and is not confided to any department of the Govern- | ment of this State.”’ These provisions are clear and explicit. They mean that the writ of habeas corpus cannot be suspended by any power whatever in the State, and itis folly to talk of dispos- ing of these criminals by courts martial. Another section of the Constitution declares, that ‘‘in all criminal prosecutions the accused haththeright * * * toaspeedy public trial by an impartial Jury of the county in which the crime shall have been commit- ted.’’ Itis not within the power of any offi- cer or department of the State to deprive the humblest citizen, though he be the rankest criminal, of these constitutional guarantees nor will it forward the cause of law an order to attempt to doso. It is idle to talk of punishing these criminals In deflance of thege provisions. To undertake todoso would be simply to array One mob against another and work destruction to what little yet remains of respect for the law and constituted au- thority. SUPPLIES FOR MILITIA, NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 24.—The latest news from Coal Creek is that quiet prevails. No demonstrations were made to-day. Sup- plies and clothing are being rushed forward from this city to the soldiers as their stay is indefinite, and especially since the indica- tions are Mat the convicts will be returned a, to the mines in a days. Gen, Carnes in the examination of the dispatches in the telegraph office at. Coal Creek has found many dispatches of @n incriminating natare and throwing much t upon the conspira- cy. Assistant Co ioner of Labor Alle- man left Nashville this afternoon, it is un- derstood in obedience to a request from Gen. Carnes that ‘‘he Was wanted.’’ Alleman says he will be able to show any court that he has no part In inciting the riots and attacks. He said he was going Coal Creek to report to Gen, Carnes. The Fourth regiment of vol- unteers was organi here to-night, Col. Baxter Smith commanding, and he will ask to be sworn in at once, subject tothe call of the governor. No further trouble is feared before Labor Day, Sept. 2, or unless the troops are removed from the valley. THE FORT ANDERSON FIGHT. AN AUTHENTIC ACCOUNT OF THE ASSAULT AND ITS REPULSE. CoaL CREEK, Aug. 24.—Every correspondent who has visited this now historic valley has sent out his description of the battle at ‘Fort Anderson last Thursday afternoon. Some of these accounts were grossly exaggerated and others underdrawn, because no ne wspaper man witnessed the fight, and fora day ortwo those who had been in the hail of bullets were too much dazed to give an intelligent version of the engazement, Now, however, the men whorisked their lives in defense ofthe fort intelligently re- count the scenes of the disastrous day. Lieut. Fyffe, who commanded the forces in the absense of Col. Anderson, givesthis ac- count of the battle: **On the afternoon of Thursday last,’’ said the Lieutenant to the correspondent, ‘‘we felt that something out of the usual was about tohappen. The news had come to. us of the fall of Oliver Springs and we were assured that an assault would be made on the Coal Creek stockade. About 2 p. m. a ~party of four miners came to the stockade where Col. Anderson was taiking with Warden ang “alied upon him to go down to Coal : se, speech had assembled there with the of attacking the fort. This com- mittee said they thought the Colonel could prevent the movement if he would givethem a talk. Nota shot had been fired on either side up totbat time, and inthe fort we were not aware that the men had yet begun to con- centrate for the attack. Gen. Anderson acceded to the requestof the men. He had no reason to anticipate treachery, for he had several times previously done thesame He had much influence the miners. He is a Mason a Knight of Pythias, and he had made friends among the members of those orders among the miners. So he walked off downthe hill with the miners. Going toward the village the path leads around severalhillis, and at severalturns a personm*traveling that way comes within sight of those in the fort. **As soon as Anderson and his escort had passed out of sight around the hills, as if by magic every mountain side about the fort seemed to swarm with armed men and a ter- rific volley came upon us.’’ As soon as possible the Lieutenant ordered his men into the trenches, and the battle was on, Rapid firing was continued by both sides for fully an hour. ‘*‘Now and again,’’ said the Lieutenant‘ ‘‘we would get sight of a fellow upinthe mountain side, and we would pepper away at him. We had heard nothing from Gen, Anderson. Two miners bearing the flag of truce approached the fort to within halling distance, and one of them called out that Gen, Anderson had or- dered us to quit shooting, andthatif we did not quit shooting they would kill Gen. Ander- son. We knew that Gen. Anderson had not ordered us to quit shooting, and we knew they would not dare to kill Gen. Anderson. §S0 Lieut. Winning called back to the miners that the flag would never be low- ered until it was shot down. The miners withdrew! without further pariey, and imme- diately another volley was poured in from the mountains. There was no cessa- tion until ight » came, and dark- ness preventé further hostilities. That night we got no supper. We cooked no victuals. We did noteven light a fire, for we dare not give the miners a target to aim at. We slept in the trenches. We were exer- cised to save our ammunition, for we did not know how long the siege would last. » The night passed slowly and when Friday morning dawned it found the Fort still in- fested by the mountaineers. ‘‘Soon after daybreak,’’ continued the Lieutenant, ‘‘the miners poured another volley into us,’’ The buliets perforated our tents, rattled around the Gatiing gun and tore up the bag- gage of the soldiers. This kept up until 6:30 o’clock, at which time a ray of hope was. shed upon the garrison. On the brow of a ledge, about three-quarters ofa mile distant, there ap- peared a company of soldiers. They were Col. Woolford’s command. Our boys cheered, our bugle sounded, and we signaled in every way for the soldiers to come to us. But the miners also espled Woolford’s men. They deserted their perches in the mountains and went to ate- tack the new comers. Several volieys were exchanged between them. We could see it from the fort. Woolford’s men retreated over the ledgeand disappeared from view. We saw no more of him for some time, as he went back to Offuts and returned in the rear of Carnes. After this the miners returned to their attaek on the fort with increased num- bers, and fired volley after volley upon us.’’ The retreat of Woolford’s men was a sore trial for the garrison. They were dis- heartened but resolved to fight itout. About 1 p. m. the Lieutenant says, he saw sight of Gen. Carnes and his men, who were crossing Walden’s Ridge. ‘‘He fired his three-inch gun to let us know he was coming. His road was rough, and it took him some time to move his cannon around, so that it was 3:30 0’clock p. m. when he planted his guns on three hills to sweep Coal Creek, and sent Col, Sevier into the the village to demand the surrender of Gen. Anderson within haif an _. hour, with the alternative that the women and chil. dren be moved out of the vyil- lage when the guns were put in action. About this time the firing upon the fort ceased, except in a desultory way. Col. Anderson was given his liberty, the miners took tothe mountains and the siege of Fort Anderson had passed into history.’’ Fort Anderson is oval-shaped, being about 60 feet across by 150 feet long, giving a line of 600 feet to be guarded. There were 124 men inside the fort. The outer wallis an earth- work breast high, with traverses to protect a sweep of che trenches by an attacking party. The fort and intrenchments had been designed by Gen. Anderson, and were found by experience to be perfect In every respect. On three sides of the fort are high mount- ains. in which the insurgents could hide themseives and fire down into the fort, but the distance was 80 great that the fire could not be made effective. Besides the fort was so located that men in the trenches could not be shot from any side. While the fight lasted the militiamen were in the trenches, and were perfectly protected from the fire of the mountaineers except when they raised themselves above the breast- works to discharge their guns. @itis now believed that H. B. Monroe was the man who planned and led the attack of Thursday last. Before the revolt he lived in Chattanooga, coming there from Indiana. He was a Grand Army man. Monroe left Chattanooga in the spring of 1888 and entered a homestead on Sand Mountain. About a year ago he went up to Coal Creek and began work as aminer. He was in Chattanooga three weeks ago with a committee of miners on their way to Tracy City and Inman. 5 NT LOT Young Wines’ Queer Outing.

Asiatic Cholera Spreading Over the City of Hamburg. Three Hundred and Forty New Cases Reported To-Day. EUROPEAN CITIES ALARMED AT THE PEST’S PROGRESS. The Intense Heat Adds to the Seriousness of the Situation—A Slight Decrease of the Deatn Ratein Russia—Countless Corpses Lie in the Streets of the Per- sian Oapital—A Day’s Events Abroad. BERLIN, Aug. 24.—That cholera in its worst form has invaded Europe isa fact no longer doubted. The Asiatic plague in its most vio- lent phase has appeared in Hamburg and to-day 340 persons were attacked, 130 cases proving fatal. Severalof the worst infected streets have been closed by the police. Prof. Koch declares that he has found several cases of true Asiatic cholera. Twenty-nine cases were reported in Altona. The pest is not confined toany one quarter ofthe city, but like plague spots it is seen everywhere, although the outbreak is worst in the harbor quarter, where it first made its appearance. To add to the seriousness of the situation, the heat is intense, the mercury to-day reaching 97 deg. inthe shade. The outlook is alarming. From Sst. Petersburg the dispatches taken from the official returhs show that yesterday there were reported throughout Russia 5,505 new cases of cholera and 2,659 deaths from the disease. This isa decrease of 1.301 new cases and 770 deaths compared with theroffl- cial figures of Monday. In Persia the scourge rages with unchecked virulence throughout Persia, and countless corpses lie everywhere unburied in Teheran. At Lyons forthe past three days acolony of Russian Jews from Odessa has been stranded because of the refusal of the steamship lines to take them to New York for the reason that quarantine regulations were inforced there to prevent the introduc- tion of cholera. The emigrants were forcedto remain until something could be done for them. Consequently they estab- lished a camp near the railway station, which has been visited by thousands of cur- lous people, who watched with much inter- est the methods of Russian Hebrew life. Arrangements have now been com- pleted for the shipment of these emi- grantsandthe camp is already begin- ingto breakup. The emigrants will be taken to Havre where they will be immediately em- barked on a steamer bound for Boston, They will leave here Friday and Will most likely sail from Havreon Saturday. They will undoubt- edly be prevented from landing when they reach the United States. Telegrams from Antwerp to-day say cholera has also appeared there. To show how the world is now menaced by the plague itis only necessary to state that the pest now has a good foothold at Hamburg, Antwerp and Havre, the great Northern European ports, IRISH HOME RULE, THE DUTY FRIENDS IN AMERICA OWE TO THE CAUSE. WORCESTER, Mass., Aug. 23.—The Rey. Dr. J. T. Conaty of this city received a letter to- day from Senator George F. Hoar, who is now traveling in Europe for his health, deal- ing with the home rule question in Ireland and the duty of the Irish- Americans inaiding the Irish representatives in Parliament. In the letter, which !s dated at Paris, July 26, Senator Hoar says: ‘‘I think the American friends of home rule for Ireland are ina cun- dition to exercise a great influence upon the future progress of that cause and to avoid what seems to mea very great danger. **Gladstone, with his majority of forty-two, has to encounter a hostile House of Lords, a hostile press, a hostile sentiment of the upper classes and the universities, and, it is rumored, a hostile: Queen. The opposition will be vigorous, compact and led with great adroitness and skill. If Gladstone were to be disabled or to die it is hard to see where a leader could be found under whom the some- what heterogeneous elements who now march under the banner of home rule could be united in any steady policy. ‘*If the Irish friends of home rule make un- reasonable demands, oreven if they go the full extent of whatare clearly reasonable and just demands, and Mr. Gladstone should in that way lose his majority or fail to accom- plish anything, the success of home rule must be postponed toa very distant day in- deed. ‘*It seems to me, therefore, that America ought to utter her voice, which has been so influential in the cause of home rule, counsel- ing the Irish representatives to be content for the time being with taking one firm, for- ward step, even if they shall not for the time being gaineverything which they desire. Such a step, once taken, will never be retraced.’’ SIEGE OF CARACAS, THE REVOLUTIONARY VENEZUELAN LEADER HAS INVESTED THE CAPITAL.

Paris, Aug. 24.—Owing to the many cases of sunstroke that occurred among the French troops during the marches and maneuvers that were held during the intensely hot weather ofthe past two weeks, an inquiry into the circumstances was held by order of M. De Freycinet, Minister of War. This com- mittee of inquiry has made its report, which shows that the movements ofthe troops were entirely uncalled for and could have been postponed, with no aetriment to the service, until the weather became cooler. The court recommended that the officers who were re- sponsiple for the holding of the maneuvers during such terribly hot weather should be retired. In accordance with this recom. mendation two generals and one Colonel have been placed on the retired list. The court also recommended that the corps commander be censured for allowing his men to be forced to maneuver under such unfavorable conditions, and this recom- mendation was also carried out, GENERAL FOREIGN, LORD CARRINGTON APPOINTED CHAMBERLAIN— EVENTS ABROAD.

New York, Aug. 24.—A dispatch from Rio Janeiro received in the city late last night an- nounced the death of Manuel Deodoro da Fonseca, the first President of the Republic of Brazil. Manuel Deodoro da Fonseca was born in Brazil in 1833, and at an early age entered the army. His father was a Portuguese of wealth who held — grants in the province of Rio Grande del Sul, which province after- wards was the first to rise against his son. Deodoro won distinction during the Para- guayan war at the battle of Vilessoro, and was promoted tothe rank of major. The Order of the Rose was bestowea on him by Dom Pedro, who afterwards made him com- mander of the army in the province of Matto Grasso. Subsequently he was inade a gen- eral, after having held other posts of trust and importance, His first rise into political prominence was in the revolution which deposed Dom Pedro, Manuel Deodoro da Fonseca. On Nov. 15, 1889, Fonseca atthe head of a small detachment of cavalry and a battery of artillery, appeared in front of the Praca a’ Accalamaca and summoned the Ministry to resign. Hisdemand was refused. He then ordered the gates to be guarded and went intothe presence of the ministers and or- dered their arrest. However, Gen. Floriano Peixoto, who now succeeds Fonseca, intervened and no arrests were made. The remainder of the revolu- tion was purely ceremonial. The troops shouted for Gen. Deodoro and salutes were fired. Dom Pedro was notified that he was vee —— Kmperor, and he acquiesced cheer- ully. Fonseca was then raised to the rank of President of the Republic, but held the office only a short time. Rebellions arose in the Southern provinces, which. extended tothe ees and Fonseca was deposed, Gen. Peixoto succeeding him. For a long time Fonseca has been suffering from a cancerous affection, and his death was not unex- pected. COMMANDER HASENCLEVER.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 24.—Politicians a% the Capital are now discussing what seems tq ae ag be the complete turn+down of the hitherte notables in the President’s political Oabinet —Elkins and Foster, Neither one of these gentlemen have figured in any of the party consultations of late, and there really seems to be no important work cut out for them to do. Nor does their society appear to be as essential to the President’s comfort now as at - onetime, The day’ when they werealways near him, advising him and taking special by, and they have pped back into the rut of local managers, Mr. Foster struggling to keep his own head up in Ohio and Mr. Elkins doing what he can to controlthe machine in. West Virginia, | As the story goes here, the President hag been bitterly disappointed in both men. They were called into the Cabinet purely and en- tirely because of their reputation as manag- ing politicians and their supposed ability to placate certain Interests at that time antage onistic to the second term project. Mr. Foster was to bring Ohio into line by making peace between the Administration and the Blaine contingent, led by ex-Gov. Foraker, Neither Sherman nor McKinley could be utilized for this work. Both were friendly enough to the President, but, unfor- tunately for him, both were at outs with Foraker. But Foster, who through all the Republican contention in Ohio had: remained in touch with Foraker, was supposed to pos- sess the necessary influence, and to his hands was committed the delicate task. He went to Ohio several times to see Foraker and he invited Foraker here several times to be his guest. It wasallto no purpose, however, Foraker refused to come into the Harrison camp, and worked so industriously on the a . - outside that at Minneapolis all but one of the Ohio delegation appeared on all the roll-calig for the nomination in opposition to the Pres- ident. Mr. Foster was so deeply mortified that he shouted at the top of his voice in the Presi- dent’s presence at the White House when the news was received: ‘‘I am ashamed of Ohio,’’ : ; This, however, sincere as it was, did not mend matters at all and Mr. Foster from that day seemed to fall behind. He is now at home ona little stumping tour, but his ex= ertions are attracting no attention. The work here and in New York is proceeding without any suggestions from him. The service expected of Mr. Elkins was not only of more importance than that Mr. Foster was to perform, but it was of the highest im- portance. He was to deal directly with Mr, Blaine himself and make it sure that the President was not antagonized directly or tn- directly by the Maine statesman. Mr. Elkins had been for years one of Mr. Blaine’s closest friends, a frequent visitor at his house and a sharer in all of the secrets respecting his political plans. In fact, so intimate were the two men thatthe bare circumstance of the acceptance by Mr. Elkinsof the portfolio of war was accepted in some quarters as evi- dence that Mr. Blaine would not enter the race for the presidential nomination. Mr. Elkins, however, went diligently to work to serve his new chief and spent the greater part of his leisure in Mr. Blaine’s soctety. Up to the last moment Mr. Elkins expressed — . inion in the most confident way that ir. that Clarkson and Quay were using Mr, Blaine’s name without authority and that in due season they would be called down. Mr. Blaine’s sip to New York even falled to change Mr. Elkins’ view of the situation. Mr. Blaine’s resignation came like a bolt from the blue sky, and not only stunned the President, but laid out Mr. Elkins completely. He has notto this day recovered from-the shock. Like his colleague, Mr. Foster,he had failed In the one thing he had been supposed to be best qualified to attend to, and so he passed tothe rear. He has been intrusted with no great mission since. He has deen active in putting a Republican ticket into the field in West Virginia, but it is not a ticket that excites any enthusiasm, and its prospects are anything but bright. The passing of Foster and Elkins as na- tional quantities has been so marked that the speculation is even against their remaining in the Cabinet longer than next March even should the President be re-elected, oe failed as politicians, the judgment is tha they have failed altogether, Mr. Foster is not a great financier nor does Mr. ing appearasa great war minister. Why then the question is asked, should the Presiden care to hold on to them longer than may be necessary? : The diction, indeed, is freely made here — that th portfolios are now in the Catie publican leaders in the doubtfal THE CLARK-NORTON CONTROVERSY.

Peth, When Detective scully stated bis business the young man appeared to be somewhat excited, but replied: THE COUPLE ARRESTED. **Well, I suppose the gameis up,’’ and with this remark he turned tothe landlady and asked if Myrtle had come down from her room yet. When informed that she had not he requested that she come out and meet the officers. Peth’s room was in tlre third story and Miss Wilson’s on the first.

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT, JUDGE DILLON OF NEW YORK. Reviewing the Work of the Fifty-Second Congress and State Legislatures, Lab- orand Pinkertonism—Trade and Com- merce—The Day’s Proceedings of the Convention. ‘ SARATOGA, N. Y., Aug. 24.—The American Bar Association met here this morning and was called to order by President John F. Dillon. There was a full attendance of members of the legal fraternity from almost every Stateinthe Union. President Dillon, after the preliminaries of organization were gone through, delivered his annual address. The annual address was delivered by the ident, ex-Judge Dillion of New York. The general character of his address each year is determined by the provision of the constitution which requires the President to communicate the most noteworthy changes in statute law on points of general interest made in the several States and by Congress Guring the preceding year. The address dealt with the legislation of Congress at its last session and with the legislation of #ixteen States and Territories out of forty- eight which held sessions since the last meet- ing of the association. Sir Henry Mains’ ob- servation that the capital fact in the mechan- ism of modern States is the energy of Legis- latures, was strikingly illustrated by the data and facts presented in the address; as for example, there were introduced into the Howse and Senate during the last session over 13,000 bills and joint resolutions, and more than 2,100 reports were made by the House committees and nearly 1,100 by Senate committees. All this legislative activity, however, resulted only in the passing of about 475 bills—local, private and general. After referring tothe more important acts assed by Congress the address dealt with he general view of current legislation in the sixteen States and Territories mentioned. Proposals for constitutional amendments in Georgia, Rhode Island, New_York, Massa- chusetts, Wisconsin and Maryland were re- ferredto. The statute legislation of the pre- ceding year was classified or grouped under the following heads: Elections and the Elective Franchise, under which it was stated that thirty-six States are using the Australian ballot or some modifica- tion of it. “®ducational legislation Is still showing increased liberality and improve- ment. Under the head of Public Health and Safe- ty various statutes were referred to and particularly those relating tothe health and safety of operatives andlaborers. Under the bead of morals reference was made to various statutes on this subject, including the famous contest in Louisiana, in which she suppressed the well-known Louisiana Lottery Co. LABOR AND PINKERTONISM, Under the head Labor, reference was made to the fact that New York, New Jersey, Georgia and Massachusetts regulate the hours of labor and define the number of a day’s work. The hours constituting Legislature act of the Massachusetts against **Pinkertonism’’ and forbid- ding the employment of non-resi- dents other than regular employes to assist with arms in the defense of property was re ferred to, the President observing that while he. approved such legislation he felt con- strained to say that the Commonwealth, baving thus disabled'the person whose prop- erty isin danger from self-protection, the duty of the State to afford the necessary pro- tection by the lawful ‘authorities ought to be earnestly and promptly discharged. Under the head of Minors, various acts to protect children were referred to, such as those of Rhode Island and Colorado joining the long list of other States prohibiting the sale or gift of cigarettes tochildren; andthe act of New York requiring ali children engaged in public exhibitions to be licensed. Under the head of Married Women, the late enact- ments of Rhode Island apd South Carolina emancipating married women from the com- mon law disabilities of coverture were men- tioned. Under the head of Trade and Commerce, reference was made tothe fact that Louls- iana has prohibited all trusts or combina- tions to control the value of merchandise and commodities but seems to except ail such combinations when made by farmers and laborers. Under the head of Administration of Justice, anotable change in the law of evidence in Georgia was noted and com- mented on, by which a party toa civil action is allowed to put the opposite party on the witness stand with the privilege of subject- ing him toathorough and sifting examina- tion andtofurther privilege of impeach- ment justasthoughthe witness had testi- fied in his own behalfand was being cross- examined. Under the head of Municipal Corporations, various changes in the law of New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Colorado, Wisconsin and New Jersey were noted but none of them made radical or important changes. Underthe heads of Private Cor- porations and Railroad Commissions, it was shown that seventeen States had now adopt- ed railway commission acts containing the usual provisions astolong and short haul, rebates, drawbacks, undue preference, inter- change of traffic, etc. such legisiation, where it is carefully thought out, guldei by experience, and kept within constitutional limits was regarded by the speakeras wiseand renerally necessary for the best interests of he corporations as well as of the people. Under the head of Taxation, the important changes in the collateral inheritance law of New York andthe novel act of the Legislature of Michigan, which attempts to divide the taxes Ob mortgaged property by levyinga roportionate part upon the ownerof the and and the balance upon the mortgagee were referred to. TENDENCY OF LEGISLATION, After concluding the catalogue of enact- ments and comments, the last portion of the address consisted of comments and refiec- tions onthe general trend and tendency of legislation, in which the speaker pointed out the sources of law and its ethical nature, and differentiated it from legislation. He adverted in cyn- clusion to the necessity, value, purposes and effect of our written constitutions, showed wherein they differed from the constitutions ofall other countries in the distinguishing fact that the American system makes the courts the guardians of the constitution and rovides the only adequate safeguard which Ras been devised against unconstitutional legislation, and that this constituted the great and permanent glory of the founders of the legal institutions of the United States. The fundamental guarantees of the consti- tution are life, liberty and property. The two former he declared are everywhere re- spected and protected, but said that we can- not close our eyes to the fact that the institu- tion of private property is menaced by both open and covert attacks. It is attacked openly by the advocates of the various here- gies that go under the general name of social- ism or communism who seek toarray the vody of the community against the individual right of exclusive property and in favor of the right of the community ia some form to deprive the owner of it of its full enjoyment. Property or its rightful enjoyment is frequently covertly invaded at the instance of a popular or supposed pop- ular demand. Inthis class of cases the at- tack is directed against particular owners, or forms of ownership, and generally takes the insidious, more specious and dangerous shape of an attempt to deprive the owners (usually corporate owners) of their prgperty by unjust or discriminating legislation in the exercise of the power of taxation, eminent domain or the police power, and resulting and intended to result in ‘‘clipping’’ the property or ‘‘reguiating’’ the owner out of its lull enjoyment and use. The President referred to Sir Henry Mains’ declaration in 1885 when he felt constrained to confess that ‘-all the benificent property of the United States reposes on the sacredness of contract and the stability of private property; the first the implement, the last the reward of success in the universal competition.’’ The President saidthat for this noble and generous utterance of a greattruth he for- gave all Sir Henry Mains’ doubts as to the success of popular government and can- ed the remembrance of his dismal fore- cell DUTY OF BENCH AND BAR. The value of all constitutional guarantees de upon whether they are fairly inter- preted and justly and with even handed- ‘ness and fearlessly enforced bythe courts. In view of which, he deciared that,in his t the great, -eminent and over- owing duty ofthe bench and bar of this in our day is not so much to devise co amend or reform exist- hte Mia? demas 4 i 5 ee A 2 eee a7 4 b y OEP es aes : 2 sav . why : 1 institutions as they exist; that if there any problem yet unsettied in this country, itis whether the benchis able to, bear the burden of supporting under alltircumstances the fundamental law against popular or sup- pular demands for enactments in confilct with it. In the exercise of this loftiest function and most sacred duty of the geaiclery it is the daty of the bar to support he constitution and the judges with vigor and firmness. This done, all. is safe; this omitted, and all is imperiled and may be lost. INTERNATIONAL LAW. A featmre of the session will be the discns- sion of the report of the Committee on Inter- national Law. This committee will submit an exhaustive review of the question whether ‘fany legisiation by Congress is desirable and practicable to give the courts of the United States jurisdiction over criminal proceedings for acts of violence to the per- sons or property of aliens committed by citizens of the United States.’’ At last year’s session of the association the committee were instructed to make a recom- ne ome _on the subject at the present session.

The Prefect Said to Have Been Dismissed by the Pope. RomeE, Aug. 24.—The Eternal City is ina high state of excitement over a Vatican sen- sation of large dimensions. Yesterday after- noon it leaked out that Cardinal Ruggiero, Prefect of the financial affairs of the Prop- aganda, had been dismissed. The affair wa; all the more sensational because of the fact that the Cardinal has been regarded for some time as the member of the college who wouid succeed the present Pontiff. It is said the Pope himself ordered the dismissal, being satisfied after an extended investigation that Cardinal Ruggiero was implicated with Mgr. Folchi, who was dismissed a year ago for misinvestment of Vatican funds. Foichi was Vice Chamberlain to the Pope and as such had charge of the funds. It was then claimed that in order to save the Banco di Roma, in which the Vatican has 12,000 shares, Foichi concluded to establish a syndicate of Catholic banks in Paris, Lon- don, Rome, Berlin and New York. He did succeed in saving the bank. Folchi was opposed in his plan by the Com- mission of Cardinals, but despite all he started in and opened a bank in Paris called Le Credit. Money was sent to Paris before the Pope was informed of the specu- lation, and in fact the commission was equally surprised. Folchi was dismissed. The investigation that has been going on since has, it appears, implicated Ruggiero and hence his dismissal. The opinion prevails that a big scandal will soon be made public as aresultor the Cardinal Prefect’s removal. SUNDAY SCHOOL ENCAMPMENT. PERTLE SPRINGS, MO., Aug. 24.—The Sunday School Encampment here is largely attended and the interest in the proceedings Is increas- ing. Asplendid address was given yesterday by Kev. W.E.

DENISON, Tex., Aug. 24.—Conductor Reams of the M., K. & T. brought news to this city that a hunting party, composed of four young men, had been found murdered on the banks of Caney Creek in the Indian Terri- tory. The men were dressed in the usual garb of hunters and three of them had no papers on their per’ sons to indicate who they were. Papers found on one of the men indicated that his name was Cherrie and that he trav- eled forathread manufactory in Connecti- cut. The murder had been recently com- mitted, but there was no clew to the men who committed it. It was evident that the purpose was rob- bery, as there was no money or valuables of any kind found on the bodies. No hunting parties answering to the de- scription given ofthe dead men left this city. It is supposed that they came from the East and went direct to the Territory. Their guns were gone, buta partof their hunting outfit was found near the spot where the bodies were discovered. ROBBED BY THE DALTON GANG. VAN BUREN, Ark., Aug. 24.—JamesF. Wil- son, agent ofthe Kansas & Arkansas Valley Railway at Howata, I. T., a station 140 miles west of here, was held upand robbed at a late hour Monday night by three men sup- posed to be members of the Dalton gang of train robbers and desperadoes. Traveling Wright and Traveling Passenger Agent Johnson were engaged in checking up Wilson’s books, when the bandits entered and covered them with revolvers, at the same time commanding them tothrow up their hands. Wilson was then compelled to open thesafe, While two of the desperadoes held Wright, Johnson and Wilson at bay, the third emptied the contents of the safe intoa sack, about $1,500 being secured, one-third of which wasthe personal property of Wilson and the balance belonging tothe rallroad and express companies. After relieving Wilson, Johnson and Wright of a gold watch each and what money they had in their pockets, the highwaymen backed out of the door and disappeared in the darkness.

Echool Board Teachers Committes Pre- paring for the Ensuing School Term. In less than two weeks the effervescent school boy who was turned out to pasture last June, will be again brought into subjection and forced to take up class-room discipline. The teachers who have the work of accom- plishing this result are now busy preparing for it, and the School Board Teachers Com- mittee is also going into active training. The Teachers Committee is virtually the whole Board to the teachers, for the dictates of this body formulated itn executive session are seldoin questioned by the board. There- fore itisthat many teachers are just now asking, ‘*‘When does the ‘Teachers Committee meet?’’ The tirst meeting occurs next Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock. This meeting of the Teachers Committee prior to the opening of the fall term is an epoch in the careers of many teachers. Then ambitious substi- tutes are placed on the roll of regular teachers, ‘veterans in the service are promoted to better salaried grades, and leaves of absence are grante those who desire them, This year there is more suppressed anxiety hovering around the deliberations of the Teachers Committee than in other ears because more vacancies are awaiting ucky appointees. The twenty-eight married ladies who were dropped near the close of the last school year will have an equal number of unmarried successors and several new schools are to be equippéd. Then the best appointment at present in the gift ofthe committee, the principalship of § the O’ Fallon School, formerly held by Prof. Mugan, must be made. In addition, a strong effort will be made, it is said, to have Prof. Butler of the Blow School removed, and his fate is now in the balance. Supt. Long, Assistants Teuteberg and Foster and Miss Mary E. McCulloch, Supervisor of the Kindergartens, will return home in time for Monday’s to take counsel with committee asistheircustom. The task before the com- mittee is not one which can be accomplished ina day, and it is probable that adjourned meetings will be held Wednesday and Friday of next week. : Union Missionary Baptists. The Union Missionary Baptist Association closed its session yesterday. The meeting was held near Costello, St. Louis County, where officers were elected for the ensuing year. Rev. J. H.

The Service to Jefferson Barracks to Be Improved—Oleaning Alleys, Mayor Noonan and Water Commissioner Holman, in conjunction with Capt. Roberts, Quartermaster at Jefferson Barracks, are en- deavoring to devise proper means to increase the water supply atthe Barracks, The sup- ply at best there has not been very satis- factory of late, and as the United States Gov- ernment has been paying the city about $3,000 annually for water the Mayor says that some- thing must bedoneto give a better supply than heretofore. There is at presenta small pumping station at the extreme southern limits of the city, where an engine forces the water through the _ 6-inch main connecting the city mains with the Barracks. The Mayor and Wuter Commis- sioner have decided to havealarger engine and pump located at this, point, and by means of a reservoir gonstructed by the Gov- ernment at the Barracks it is thought that a plentiful supply can always be had in the future, both for Gomestic purposes and for emergencies,asin the case of fire and the like. To Clean Down-Town Alleys. Supt. John L. Duffy of the Street Depart- ment has been notified by Street Commis- sioner Murphy to have all alleys in the busi- ness part of the city thoroughly examined and hauled over, with a view to giving them a general Cleaning and making necessary re- pairs. The cleaning is to be done as faras the Street Commissioner’s funds will allow, atthe instance of the Health Department, which wishes to have all of these down-town alleysina thoroughly healthy condition, in the event of any epidemic striking the city. Supt. Duffy has also been ordered to pre- pare alist ofall the streets needing recon- struction with Telford pavement. Shortage in appropriations has rendered It impossible to continue the work done on many of those streets in former years. The only manner in which the Street Commis- sioner cangrepair them is, he states, to use the cheapest pavement available under the circumstances and this is the Telford. The immense growth of the street, area of the city within the past ten years, without a proportion.te increase in the amount of ap- oe nage is the Cause of this condition of affairs.

Consolation. From the Chicago Times. It is a poor consolation for the evicted workmen at Homestead to be told that the tariff which some ofthem have sustained by their votes ‘‘enables their employes to pay higher wages.’’ They understand that fact wellenough. But they alsounderstand that, vehile the tariff thus actually benefits the employers and owners of raw materials, the | workmen are left to the tender mercies of men who have shown an equal desire to rob them oftheir wages as the people of their substance through an enforced tribute, A Republican Bank Account.

The Governor recognizes the fact that ‘‘every campaign vigorously conducted involves a necessary and proper expenditure of money for education and organization.’’ Massachusetts was not carried twice for and by William E.

The Republican campaign money has come and will come ‘‘from special | interests, which demand at its hands favorable legislation as payment for their contribution.’’ The Governor properly de. nounces this as a dishonest and immoral bargain between a party and its benefictarie’s against public policy and at the people’s ex- pense, The Democratic subscription on the other hand isof and forthe people. And the | Governor agrees with Mr. Quincey in holding that the wholesome moral effect of a | people’s campaign subscription will be quite | as beneficial as its materia! aid. Finally Gov.

United States Senator Francis Marion Cockrell spent the forenoon with Chair- man Harvey Salmon at the executive headquarters of the State Democratic Com- mittee. He announced that he came down from the country to see what sort of a demonstration St. Louls intended to et up for to-morrow evening, when the tate canvass will be formally opened in Music Hall. Speaking to a Post-DIsPATCH representative he spoke cuardedly concerning his candidacy for re-election to the Senate. The Legislature which meets next January will either elect or defeat him and, of course, he is deeply interested. Reports have gone all over the State that the friends of Gov. Francis would try to beat him and though they have been denied many still believe thatthe administration is after Cockrell. The Senator said, discussing his candidacy, that he did not see what he could say on the subject fur- ther than that the peopie woald bave the say whether or not there shouid be a chapge. Concerning the national campaikn he sald: ‘*T regard the outlook for Cleveland very flattering. Hewill, 1 am sure, be President Harrison’s successor after March 4, 1898. So far as Missouri is concerned the party is in Splendid shape and despite all talk tg the contrary, our State ticket will be elected in its entirety.’’ Political Notos. Attorney L.

TOM KELLY TA LKS, el The Ex-Champion Declares Himselt on the Coming Fights, Ot DIXON THE ONLY SURE THING, THE OTHERS DOUBTFUL. pe ee its Tom Doubts That Sullivan Ie in Prime Oondition— McAulifiea Very Doubtful Quantity—St. Biaise’s Brother, Hol- icmass, to Be Sold at Auction—Gorsip From the Turf, Ring and Diamond. Tom Kelly, America’s ex-middle- weight champion, now a well-known resident of this city, has already commented preparations toattend the big pugilistie carnival which will take place in New Orleans thé first week of September. Kelly’s resort on Market street has become the Mecca of lovers of the ring since the coming fights have began to absorb public interest. Tom Kelly isan ae- Knowledged authority on matters pertaining to pugilism, and, in consequence, his opin- ions as to the outcome of the three big con- tests are ofinterest and carry great weight among local sporting men, Speaking of the coming contests yesterday Tom said he would not miss seeing them for the world. Itis Mr. Keliy’s intention to go Gown to the Crescent City on his own hook. **This talk you hear,’’ said Tom, ‘‘about so and so making preparations to takea party down ona Pullman specialis allrot. When you hear any of these so-called authorities On pugilism talking about taking a party down to these big fights it can be relied upon that that party will be one of the first to apply fora pass. A great deal of this kind of talk was indulgedina short time previous tothe Maher- Fitzsimmons contest, and youcanimagine my surprise when my attention was drawn to the fact thata leader ofone of those schemes totakea party of wealthy sports down tothefight attempted to transport himself to the scene of the con- test on an annual pass belonging to a friend. While of course quite a number of 8t. Louls- ans will go down the nhumber who de. sire to do so is not near so large as the public is led to believe. ‘**The coming trio of contests,’’ said Tom, however, ‘‘is undoubt- edly the biggest pugiiistic event that has oc- curred during this century, and of course quite anumber who have never before at- tended a prize ring battie will take advantage of the oppurtunity offered them next month and go down. ‘*‘Sullivan, Dixon and McaAuliffe are looked upon generally as the winners, but I myself do not look uponthemas absolute winpers. I cannot see how Dixon can be defeated. George has defeated up to date the best men of his weight in the world. On the contrary, one knows nothing of his opponent beyond the fact that he was @dmitted to be the cleverest amateur sparrer that was ever developed inthe East. Scien- ific sparrers, however, do not always turn out to bering fighters and thatis what tells against Skelly. In addition he has not the actualring experience Dixon possesses. One factin his favor, nowever, Il give much con- sideration, and that isthat a fighterof his record that can secure the bacFing he has he must be something bey ond the ordinary. Five thousand dollars isa great deal to put upon a fighter of skKelly’s reputation espe- clally when he is encountering a fighter of Dixon’s experience and acknowledged abil- ity, and it can be relied upon that his backers must have unlimited confidence in him when they will gotothat extent to securea ight for him. **Sullivan, taking past performances as a criterion, is a much better man than Corbett, but the question is whether he is in condition to fight a young, strong and active man of Corbett’s ability. Noone can discount that, and Sulilvan will have to beat his best, at ieast I think so,to down the young Call- tornian. **The se stories about the big fellow being in such fine condition of course must de taken, as long as one knows nothing io the contrary, for certain. Still too much credence must not be given to telegraphic Eastern nhews- peor gossip. My opinion regara- ng the McAuliffe-Myer contest Is about the same. According to past performances the Brooklyn boy isa much cleverer man, butif he is notin proper condition this ‘‘iliinols cyclone’’ may surprise bim. Jack, however, fought him once andought to have a good line on him, although the same thing can be} | first; Hoodoo, second; L:1i said of hisopponent. McAuilffe in condi- tion, however, wiliin my opinion, win, but li is no certainty that can be relied upon.’’ GOSSIP FROM GOOD GROUNDS, New York, Aug. 24.—When Charley John.- son selected such an out of way, unheard locality as Canoe Piace Inn a view of placing John L. Sullivan where he would have perfect quiet and could do his training without being molested or annoyed in the least. When Johnson looked it over he said: ‘*This is just the very spot, as it is too far from the city, and it costs too much to get bere, forthereto be any fear of his being overrun by sightseers, while, on the other hand, it is such @ terribly lonesome place that John can do his ten to twenty miles without meeting a single person.’’ Just how near right Johnson was in his se- lection was very clearly shown on Sunday last. The hotel was crowded to its utmost capacity and over one hundred persons sat down to dinner, while fully 00 were gathered in and around the hotel trying to get a glimpse at Sullivan. The big fellow, how- ever, took his meals in his room and kept out of sight tlllabout 4p. m., When he went out for his ten-mile run and walk. His appear- ance created the greatest king of excitement, and the crowd were fairly falling on topof one another in thelr eagerness to get a glimpse of the celebrated brulser, He started outonthe road witha gang follow- ing him ilke ties around a mci@sses jug. In fact the road itself was lined on both sides with carriage ioads of visitors who had driven Many miles and had patiently waited for hours to get a glimpse of the great ae as he majestically strolled by. On his return he took a bath, and after being thoroughly rubbed down he took sup- per, which consisted of toast and eggs. From 5:30 to 7:45 p. m. he sat on the veranda and chatted with a few of his personal! friends, among whom were John Ousick, Mr. Colin McLane of the Baltimore & Ohio Ratlroad and am Herringtoo of Brunswick, Me., the sub- warine diver Cusick says ‘he never saw Sullivan looking better lu his lifethan he is now and hardly thinks he was everin such superb condition before. His stomach is all gone and he is now down to 210 pounds and willl weigh less when he enters the ring. All the biisters are ali zone except one of bis right heel and it does not bother him much, Cusick says Sui- ivan isas hard as palls and will whip Oor- bett with the utmost ease. PUGILISTIC POINTERS. A New Orleans dispatch says very few bets on the coming prize fights have yet been made, but such as have been made stand in this way: 2to10n Sullivan, 4to 1 on Dixon, sligut odds in favor of MeAuliffe. THE TURF. Capt. Lbeliairs, superintendent and official hahdicapper of the st. Louls Jockey Ulub, re. ceived a letter yesterday from an old brother officer in tle Britisharmy, P. Pinkney, who has for some years past been engaged in breeding high @assed thoroughbreds in kngiand, His correspondent stated that he bas concluded to retire from the business altogether. Mr. Pinkney, im the letter says, that his first stallion, Hellomass, who was foaled In 1886, Is an own brother to America’s test sire, the noted St. Biaise, being out of Hermita a Fusee and that in consequence of the uct that st.

Tattersalis, who will dispose of them atauction immediately upon their arrival in New York, which is expected to occur the the iatter part of the Week, The arrival of this consignment, whieh ts beyond a doubt one of the finest collections of thoroughbreds ever sent to this coufitry willcreate considerable interest in turf and breeding circles all over the United States, The gems ofthe lot, of cotifse, are the two stallions, particularly Holiomass. Mareus Daly, the Montana copper king, who owns Tammany, Shelibark and other cracks, was fora time seriously thinking of puréehasving Holiomass and utilizing him at his breeding establishment, up in Montana, but for some reason or another he changed nis mind, The animal willundoubtedly bring a lafge price, at. Andrew ought aiso to bring Die moneys, The mere fact that he ts out of sucha cesle- brated horse as &t, Simon ts what will tell in his favor. One fact can be relied upon and that is, whoever secures the pair will hardly have cause for regret afterwards. BANQUET’S IMPROVEMENT. One of the most remarkable of the improved horses in the history of the turf is Michael F. Dwyer’s gelding, Banquet. Banquet made no deep and broad mark as a 2-year-old, al- though he won some stakes atthatage. Asa &8-year-old he defeated Tournament on thea straight course at Monmouth Park ata mile and a quarter, covering the distance in record time, 2:03%. His career after teat was somewhat erratic and uncertain. At times he exhibited plenty of speed, and at other times i formances were extremely poor, L. Scott’s horses were sold, Mr. Dwyer bought Banquet fora few thousands of dol- lars, and this was oneof the best invest- mentsofnisturfcareer. Itseems to be al- most Lenmaeatnte to break down or exhaust Banquet. He wlll go on running two or three races a week at long distanres, ridden out with whip and spurin merciless fashion in the severest finishes, and yet .show no abatement of spirit, speed and siaying power. Hehas won more handicaps fora horse of his age than any other horse that ever lived. Until a few days axo the handicappers could hardly De convinced that it was —_— to put i20 pounds or more on Banqypet. sO Danases went merrily on Winning handl- caps at varying weights from 110 to 119 pounds, losing races often, but winning races aiso with impressive frequency. His dbrililant second to Lamplighter in the Cham- pion Stakes, with 124 pounds on his back, at last opened the eyes ofthe oy gon and in the Rahway Handicap his welght was 125 pounds, while his ceiebrated stable com- panion, Kaceland, got only 123. For a long time Banquet was supposed to be at least five or seven pounasinferiorto Raceiand, but he outran Raceiand so far in the Champion Stakes thatit was only natural and proper for the handicapper to put more weight on his back than Raceiand carried.

Londés cables say sé¢vere weatherin the south of Ireland has caused gteat damage to the crops. Heavy rains in the North and Northwest have in- interrupted wheat harvesting in many sections. First public cables reported severe thunder storms prevalent in Engiand, but private cables later noted rilliant weather, It was reported thie morning Chicago had the cholera. Jim says Chicago always has had to collar everything in sight. N&w YorK—The cholera is having a very adverse effect on continental markets and any further ex- tension of it will lead to serious depression. The shipments of wheat from India last year were the largest on record—56,5°0,000 bu, The average for the past ten years has been 26,368,000 bu.

The trade generally look fota bearish report from the Vienna Grain (ongress on the world’s crop of wheat and rye. One yearago they looked for a bullish report, and not coming up te expectations that way it had a bearish efiect. The following was feceived from the largest handler of rye on the seaboard: ‘‘I suppose you saw that, as per to-day’s ukase, Russia will export rye again. This articie is reaily not worth niore than 4%¢c in Chicago on to-day’s continéntal parity. Southern Russia has rye to @€xport and is now al- lowed to do so. Chicago—There are a goal many country met- chants here buying goods. and a large majority say the cora prospects are fair. The fact that they ate frre buyers of goods and that many of them pay cash supports theircrop statements. The railways say they pavea largely increased e¢all for cars to move wheat to milline points. Vhere has also been mere demand for corn cars| since the first of the weekK.-s Minneapolis.—The first new wheat from North Dakota received from Great Bend, It’s in fine con- dition and cheies mitting wheat, but small grains, grading No. 2 Northern. We now estimate the wheat crop of Minnesota and the two Dakotas at 110,000,000 bu. Think it will mestly grade No. 2 Northern on account of light weight. There has been a fair iocai milling demand for choice samples of old No. 1 Northern and No.-) hard fresh frum coun- try points. Very little outside demand for wheat of any description, Grades below No. 1 Northern are very hardtosell. Do not look for receipts here to in- crease materially during next two weeks, as farmers are very busy and prices low. Prime’s report: Central and Southern Illinois’ cornu reports say continued dry weatherisa hurting corn véry badiy ahd donot see how under the most favorable circumstances corn can make much of any- thing but feed and that poor. Reports from North- ern Missouri show the quality of the wheat does not improve as the iate threshingscome in. Expect to see the présent movement let up af once. Corn needing rain badiv. Southern Indiana reports from 75 to 80 pér cent of ‘the winte® wheat has now been threshed and a free movement is not leot ed for until after fall seeding is completed. Ail my winter wheat réports to-day, cuvoring thé States of Illinois, Uhio, Indiana, Kansas and Missonri, sltewa probable de- , claed falling off ot the large movement we have been having. Abel Rey writes from Paris under date Aung. 12: ‘*Russia sold wheat freely to Italy last month, but lately bas stupped offering on account of prices be- ing toojlow. The cholera has disorganized many agencies there and this interferes with business. Probably after Sept. 15, when the weather becomes cooler and the cholera less severe, ussia will make larger offerings, as the new crop from the interior wil: have had timeto arrivé at the ports. Within en last fortnight prices here bad a little improve- ent because the quantity of the sheaves of our c crop was disappointing, but within the last few days he threshing has siown that the yield of the sheaves c seuinenedtes for the deficiency. Farmers aro free seliers ana the tendency of pricesis downward. The quality or the wheat is superb, weighing 80 to $2 kéios to the hectouliter.’’ Chicago Market Letter. Private WiretoJd FP. Grier. Onicaeco, Ti, Ang. 24.—We have had a fair business in wheat to-day, largely local. Sept. opened at 76l«ec, fluctuated from that to 75e and ciosed at 758ge sellers, We have so often expressed the opinion, ‘*we see nothing to buy wheat on;’’ it may sound like **I told you s0,’’ but uniess we ‘have some demand from our foreigr buyers 1887 will be repeated. The qualitv of the new winter wheat crop is poor, and from what we learn the Northwest wili be. High prices rarely come on poor quality and we think this year will not be any exception. Cable advices are of the demoraliz ed character and likely to continue so until after harvest. Corn has been moderately active but tending to lower prices. The rain so inach needed has come, and withit ascramble by the small holders to get from under. We think the rain does not, in any war, ch ange the condition of the early or the ijate planted, With the first it comes too late and with the second it is only’ cansing délav and making it more liable to damage by frost. We beiieve buying on declines will pay. Qats baye more backbone than anything else on the floor.

SPRINGFIELD, Il., Aug. 24.—The following isa synopsis of the weather crop bulletin for the past week: The temperature of last week in general has been slightly above the normal. The amount of sunshine for the week was gener- ally above a seasonable average. The rain- fall for the week was considerably below the normal, there being only light local showers, which were unevenly distributed. Corn has been slightly injured by the con- tinued drought in most of the county reports, although tn a few counties where rain fell it is reported as progressing nicely. Atpresent early corn is in better comdition than late,the future prospect for the latter depending upon the amount of rain and the time of frost. Wheat thrashing is well advanced, owing to the favorable weather conditions Of the last Ne On an average the yield will be ight Oats threshing 1s progressing rapidly ing favored with good weather. Most of che correspondents, reporting in regard to oats, say the yield ts light and of poor quality. Fall plowing has been commenced gener- ally, butis retarded somewhat by the dry condition of the ground. Rain is badly needed for pastures, garden truck, stock i plowing. Potatoes are mostly reported as being asmall crop and needing rain. Fruit will be very light in yield. This seems to be an off year for fruit of all kinds, ENIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
