-r3Fw v- THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY.' ' JANUARY a. ,- 7 '25, 1890. K IN MEMOKY OF BUKNS. Loyal Scotchmen Honor the Hame of the Sweet Highland Singer. A BANQUET AT THE SCHLOSSEE. Boodj's Poetrj Bead, Mingled With Song ' and a Piper's Music A LIEGE CROWD PKESENT AT THE FEAST Many Witty Speeches Hide lij Scotia's Local Eepre sentaliTei. The annual dinner on the poet Burns' birthday was given by Pittsburc Scotchmen at the Hotel Schlosser last night. It was a most joyous occasion, and thoroughly ap preciated by those present. Yesternight there passed through the streets of Pittsburg, nnseen and unheard, a man wrapped about in faded tartan, and wearing above his curling locks the "guid blue bon net" that betokens the son of bonnie Scot land. In his neive he clntched a sturdy cudgel, and his round, jovial face was wreathed in smiles. "Who could mistake that broad, stalworth form? "Who could fail to recognize those "sonsie een," glisten ing perchance with just a "wee drappie" snatched hurriedly on the road to clanging, roaring Pittsburg? It was the hero whose birthnight full fifty score Scots were cele brating in the two cities it was Bobbie Burns! Xes, "the laddie born in Kyle" had trudged all the way from that abode, where, by so cannily turning the corner, and cheat ing "auld Hornie," he had managed to find his last peacefnl test. AH the long weary way from the "land o the leal" came "rantin, rovin' Bob," to witness the high jinks which his "brither Scots" were mak ing by the waters of the Allegheny. And whither wended Bob? Through the swinging doors of the Hotel Schlosser he passed, and entered the reception room, where were assembled Pittsburg's "honest lads and bonnie lasses," to do honor to his same. Unnoticed he glided from group to group in that gay throng, casting many a sly glance at the maids he met, and many an envious look at their attendant squires. THE GIRLS AS PBETTT. "Eh, sirs," he muttered, "but the auld stock has not grown the wane lor its lang trip across the seas! There be as lovely girls in this 2Jew Scotland as ever there were in the old. And the men, tool They may be decked out in their braw clothes they may mince an caper; but I ken them still. There's ane Yonder wha could dance a reel sr the lassie that garred piper Bab gie owen blawin'. And there s twa auld gnidmen hummin' an' haDkerin' with the sneezin' mull atween them, just as they would in the kirk yard after the sermon. Eh ! but it's a sight that's guid for sair e'en!" And "guid tor sair e'en" it certainly was. The great room was filled to overflowing with as brave an assembly as ever met in side its walls. To enumerate even a portion of the guests present Mould be next to im possible. Suffice it that the best of the Scottish colony had come together; and few indeed of the expected faces were missed from the crowd. By and bye there was a movement in the direction of the banqueting room, and the spirit of "Scotland's own expired bard" hied him to that scene of glistening splen dor. Among the hundreds who sat around the festive board, decked with its inevitable presence, not one snspected Bobbie's pres ence. Yet he stood by the side of President Diet, and looked with swimming eyes, upon that dish, which his verse has immortalized lor all time the luscious haggis, the chosen lood of peer and peasant from Berwick Law to John o" Groat's. KEPT TIME WITH HIS HAND. Heieard Mr. Arthur Kirk read his own "address, "all tlie while keeping time to the measure with uplifted hand, and scanning the long line of faces to see how they liked the verse of Bobert Burns. And good reason had he lor tue pride which shone through his upturned eyes at the lond applause which greeted the efiort of Mr. Kirk. "Was he not the father of it all "Bantin Bab the daddie o't?" He screwed up his month in a comical way when Mr. Johnston's pipes be gan to skirl, for "Bobbie was no Huland carl, but a guid honest lad frae Carrick shore." Still for the sake of the old land he enjoyed the melody, and being no "Whig, but a staunch Jacobite, every inch of him, beat time to the old cavalier "tunes. The supper over, all adjourned to the concert hall, which was draped with the Stars and Stripes, and charmingly got ten up for the occasion. Bobbie slipped quietly into an unoccupied chair near the door, and watched the long array filing through the opened doors into the soft po etic glamour which filled the hall, as with a wavering mist of light. Then Mr. Johnston struck up the over ture to the accompaniment of Mr. Charles Gcrnert, and the old Scotch airs lilted and quavered, wailed and thrilled, till everv soul in the audience felt ready to forget decorum, and weep or dance in unison. Mr. Peter Dick, President of the celebra tion, then addressed the audience in a masterful speech, and honest Bob hid his blnshing face at the words of praise which were showered upon his memorv. "Ae hun dred an' thretty-one years, an's'till 'tis kind words for my puir birth nignt," he whis pered softly to himself. "Guidsakes, 'tis a braw thing for a poet's ain folk to remem ber him sae." HIS MOOD CHANGED. But if Bob was bashful over Mr. Dick's eloquent compliments, he soon changed this mood; and shook his sides as merrily as anv when the Misses Corey, Mr. 'Thomp son and Mr. Hardie" sang "There "Was a Lad Was Born in Kyle." and In rollicking time recounted the adventures of the bonnie bairn, who saw the light in far-off Avrshire during that year ot happy memory 1759. Mr. A. Brockie's "Scottish Emigrater's Farewell," and "My Heart's in the High lands," sung by Mr. T. J. Smith, were very sweet and very sad. Bob, lifted up his battered bonnet and laid it for a secoud over his eyes. He had many a "wee drappie" poor fellow, in those eves, when he heard the old songs again. But to Miss A. Brockie it was given to sing the tendercst of all old ballads "The Flowers o the Forest." Ah! those braw Cowers that are "a weed awa' "those wunerea nineoens that are Iving dead wherever the red tide of fiht has thundered; who wonld not, who could not sing of them, as the songtress did " ye'iJ. Aear nae malr mia' at the ewe milkin'. Lassies are silent an dome an' wae For the flowers o' the forest, that fought ava the foremost J Tbe best of our land they are canld in the clay." Mr. D. S. Thompson then gave "The Bat tle of Stirling" very finely, and was fol lowed by Miss Mcintosh in "The Auld Scotch Songs" and Miss Maggie P. Fraser in "Logie o Buchan." Miss Elizabeth Corey was delightful in "Whistle an' I'll Come Till Ye, My Lad." "Hech sirs!" cried Bad "I wish ye wad jist whistle, an I'd come till ye the nool" In the second part, Mr. W. A. Cutcheon sang "My Luve is Like the Bed Bed Bose," hut somehow the new music did not seem to fit the old song. Yet it was splendidly ren dered, and Miss Corey, who again appeared to warble another coquettish ballad, "I Lo'ed If e'er a Laddie but Ane," made an even deeper impression on the susceptible spirit oi Scotia's bard. DB. SEED'S ELOQUENT SPEECH. Dr. W. J. Beed's address was one worth tramping leagues to hear. It was full of mirth and wit, and replete with many char acterise sketches of Scottish life. ."Auld Bobin Gray," always full of piteous, heart-breaking sorrow, was never sung so touchingly as by Miss Mcintosh; while as a foil, to its woeful meas ures, Mr. Alexander Leggate's side-splitting "Bauldie Balwhiddie," was happily introduced. "Bonnie Mary of Argyll," as given by Mr. T. J. Smith, 'seemed to charm Bobbie Burns more than any of the many melodies which he had heard during the night. He rose and beamed upon the aud ience as it concluded looking, it might be, among the bewitching damosels around him, for some fair one like unto her of the song. To his surprise the whole audience rose as he did, and Mr. Gernert, at the piano, struck a few notes or an air he knew. "Ehl" he cried "What's a' this? The silly bodies are goin' to sing my "Auld Lang Syne!" Faith but I'll join thjm, wi' all my power!" And as the audience merrily joined hands and chorussed the grand old Bong, many wondered from whence came that rich, bari tone which rose high above the voices of the rest, and claimed the right to drain a "cup o' kindness," in the broadest of "braid Scotch." It was the voice ol the master the voice of Bobert Burns. Brexait. The Caledonian Clnb. The fourth annual concert assembly of the Caledonian Society was held in'the Ma sonic Hall, Allegheny, in celebration of the one hundred and thirtv-first birthday of Bobert Burns. About 400 Scotchmen, with their wives and daughters, were present, and filled the hall to overflowing. Until 11 o'clock the audience was enter tained with Scottish songs, dialogues, duets, bag-pipes and select readings by dif ferent members of the society. At the hour named the seats were cleared away, and the anniversary of the advent of the Scottish Bard on earth was celebrated with dancing until the wee sma' hours of the morning. TEE PLAH ADOfTED. Mnny of the Flank ot tbe New Constitution Already Agreed Upon Some Herons; Feeling Among the Dele- Cittes, However. Colttmbtjs, January 24. The two great miner organizations of the country spent the day in consideration of a constitution, and it was adopted section by section, but not -without much discussion and strong feeling. Although the constitution has not been adopted as a whole, there is no doubt that snch action will be taken when the joint convention convenes again to-morrow. The following has already been adopted: This organization shall be known as the United Mine Workers of National Trades As sembly 135. Knights of Labor, and the National tr regressive union, ine oojectsare to unite mine employes and ameliorate their condition by methods ot conciliation, arbitration or strikes. The officers shall be President or Mas ter Workman, Vico President or Worthy Fore man, Socretarv-Treasorer and Executive Board of seven members, two of whom shall be the presiding officer and Secretary-Treasurer. Tho National Convention will be held the second Tuesday of February each year, commencing with 1881, at snch place as may be determined upon by tbe preceding convention. Special conventions shall be called by tbe President or Master Workman when so instructed by the Executive Board, or at the request of the dis trict unions or divisions. Representatives to the national conventions from affiliated dis tricts and divisions shall have one vote for 100 members or less and an additional vote for each 100 mambers or majority fraction thereof, bur no representative shall nave more than nve votes. A member in good standing in either branch of the organization shall be eligible to hold office in the National Union, provided he has been a member of an affiliated district or di vision for six months prior to bis election, and becomes a member of both branches before qualifying for the office to which he has been elected. The salaries of the officers shall be: President, $l,000per annum; Vice President, S900; Secretary-Treasurer. 11.000; members Ex ecutive Board, S3 per day and expenses. The Amalgamated Miners' Union, the Mining Engineers, who have been in ses sion for two days, and the members of both branches of the Legislature listened to an address this evening by Thomas Shaw, of rnuaaeipnia. tne expert on mine gases, and discoverer of a means for detecting tbe pres ence and percentage of gas in mines. A ton of apparatus was used in demonstrating the use ot the invention, and the practical nse of the instrument was made so plain that the large body of miners, representing the States and Territories, applauded. CAMPAIGN SECBETS Exposed In a Snlt Brought to Recover Printing; Bill Circulars to Salt Everybody Dinner Tbnt Win Not Stalled. Kett Yobk, January 24. In the pro ceedings before a referee relative to the printing bills of Tallmadge and Martin for work done in the last Presidents! campaign for the Bepublican party, the session to day was much enlivened by the testimony of ex-Senator Daggett, of Brooklyn. He gave some interesting facts in con nection with the Bepublican campaign. At the request of General Dudley and James P. Foster he attended a meeting of tne campaign committee in 1888, and be was desired to prepare circulars to be sent to different classes ot voters. One was sent to those who voted for the grandfather of the present President in 1840, and who could be relied upon to feel a sentimental interest in the campaign of the grandson. Another circular was for first voters and General Dudley explained to him that it was necessary "to tickle the young fellows so they might see they were getting atten tion." Circulars were made to suit the opinions ot the manufacturers, to those who had voted for Cleveland and might be ex pected to vote for Harrison, and those who had voted lor Blaine and might not vote for Harrison. He said he was instructed to go to the National Committee to get fnnds, but the checks were made payable to Mr. Fos ter, and he turned them over to him. Mr. Daggett said General Dudley had unfolded to him an excellent fclan to raise fnnds, but he hoped that the referee would not reqnire of him to give away that secret of the organization, and no questions were asked bearing on it. He had sent out mil lions of documents, tons of which had come from Washington. Charges bad once been made while the Bepublicans were in power that trains had been lightened of Demo cratic postal cards while crossing rivers, and the same kind ot charges might have come in at the time in question. About 0,000 Irish Worlds were sent out weekly, and as the.e contained hot political matter they were not intrusted to the mails. The hearing was then adjourned until to morrow, when Mr. Daggett will again testify. COAXED OVER THE BORDER Tbe Scheme by Which a Defaulting Express Alessencer Wan Arrested. Labedo, Tex, January 24. J. F. White, formerly an express agent of the United States Express Company, running between Chattanooga, Tenn., and New Or leans, who was acrused of being implicated, with others, in the stealing of baggage irom the Queen and Crescent Railroad Company, and who escaped to Mexico, was arrested at the hotel Hamilton in Laredo this morning by Sherifl Sanchez. White was held for a requisition from tbe Governor of Mississippi at the instance of W. H. Price, a Pinker ton detective, who had been shadowing him fur several months and finally coaxed him over to this side. The real name of White is said to be Lat ner, by which he was known when employed ns an express messenger. It is reported that after all other schemes bad failed White was induced to return to the United States by tempting offers of investment in Laredo real estate.

HEW VIGOR SEEN EVERYWHERE. The Terms of the Settlement Not to be Hade Public for Awhile. CONCESSIONS MADE M BOTH SIDES. Muter Workman Arrington Glien Great Credit for the Besnlt. The green glass blowers of South Jersey yesterday celebrated their victory in a joy ous manner. The terms of settlement of the long lock-out have not been made public. Master Workman Arrington re ceives great credit for the settlement. rSrZCIAI, TILZOKAM TO TUB DISPATCH.! Camden, K. J., January 24. All the glass towns of South Jersey were full of jubilant residents to-day. The big victory of the locked-out glass blowers at Bridgeton yesterday, which had so quickly followed similar victories at Woodbury and Salem, infused new vigor into every avenue of life in the glass manufacturing towns. The idle blowers and boys celebrated by marching through the streets singing and shouting. At Glassboro they formed a procession that moved abont town to the refrain of "March ing Through Georgia" and other jubilant songs. On every hand it is thoroughly believed that the long strike or lockout is virtually ended at last, and the blowers leel confident that work will be resnmed before many weeks in every idle greeu glass factory in the Eastern district They seem to feel, too, that they are wholly the winners in the contest, and that for years to come the in fluence of their victory will show its effect upon the trade. SATISFIED WITH THE TERMS. Jnst what the terms of ihe settlement are cannot be learned, but Messrs. Bodine, at Bridgeton, say they are perfectly satisfied with the arrangement, and would have en tered into it at the beginning of the contest. Colonel G. G. Green, who started the ball rolling at his Woodbury Works, "early in the week, says the settlement is agreeable to him, and Craven Bros., at Salem, say they make the settlement very willingly,, yet none seem willing to state what the basis of tbe settlement is: Nor is Master WorKman Louis Arrington ready, he says, to give the basis of settlement for publication as yet. To Arrington's ability, gentlemanly bear ing and intelligence is ascribed all of the success of the conferences ol himself and his associates with the mannfactnrers, and he is the hero of the day among the thousands of glass workers in South Jersey. He was caught on his way to Williamstown to con fer with Bodine, Thomas & Co. there to-day, and said: CONCESSIONS ON BOTH SIDES. "I believe that before many days every green glass factory in the Eastern district will be ready to light fires with union men. Until all the conferences are over the terms of the settlement will not be made pnblic. We have conceded some things and the em ployers have treated us liberally. The ar rangement is wholly satisfactory to the Knights, I assure yon." A Bridgeton manufacturer said to The Dispatch correspondent to-day: "I be lieve the struggle would never have taken place, or at least lasted only a few weeks, if Arrington had been at the head oi the Knights Committee long ago." What to do abont the non-union men who are now at work Is a problem that will re quire some study before it is solved. Those manufacturers who have put them to work have agreed to keep them in emplovment. and it is very improbable that the union blowers will go to work alongside them. It is said that the men may be taken into the Knights of Labor. "WEAK-KNEED MEN 'WORKING. At Clayton the only men who have gone to work have been weak-kneed members of the order, who have not as yet been dis missed, and it is thought that they will now be retained. "Warming up" fires are already blazing under the furnaces at Craven Bros., at Salem; the Cohansey Company and East Lake Company, at Bridgeton, and Colonel Green's, at Woodbury. Bodine, Thomas & Co., at Williamstown, will probably enter into the agreement to-morrow, and Master Workman Arrington will then go to Clay ton to confer with Moore Bros, and Glass boro to talk to Whitney Bros. GOBBLING UP GAS. An English Syndicate After a Big American Corporation Soma Valuable Patent Mulch ihe Britons Wonld Much Like to Own. ItVTClXl. TZLEOUAM TO TUB DISPATCH. 1 Philadelphia, January 24. Negotia tions are now pending which, if consum mated, will transfer the control, or at least a very large interest of tbe United Gas Im provement Company, of this city, to an English syndicate that is anxious to secure the property as an investment Some idea oi the magnitude of this proposed trans action mav be gathered from the statement that the company is the largest concern of its kind in the countrv, having a capital of $5,000,000, divided into 100,000 shares, of a par value of $50 each, and that in the nego tiations the price asked is 100 per share. The efforts now being made to secure con trol of the company are the results of a visit which was paid to this country last year by Corhin Woodall, the chief engineer of the'Metropolitan Gas Works, of London, who made a very thorough investigation of gas properties here in the interest of En glish capitalists. "Nothing definite has been determined yet,'' said a gentleman interested in the company to-day; "and even if the sale goes through, it is not likely that tbe manage ment of the company will be changed at all." The company is interested in some 60 or 70 gas plants throughout the country, and is constantly enlarging its operations. It con trols works in Kansas City, Omaha, Min neapolis, Harrisburg, Pensacola, Fid., Jer sey City, Waterbury. Conn.. Atlanta, Sa vannah and many other cities, and also owns very valuable patents, and especially those of Prof. Low, lor making water gas. The company does not confine itself to that kind of gas, however, but makes coal gas, wheu that is cheaper than the other. It also controls some patents for electric light ing, and altogether, the stockholders think that tbe assets are worth the price, $10,000, 000, which they place upon them. CLAIM JDMPIiNG IN OKLAHOMA Necessary to Call Oat the Mllltla to Pre serve the Peace. Gtjthbie, Ind. T., January 24. The claim-jumping craze is prevalent here again. In most cases violence is not resorted to, but at one time to-day It was necessary to call out the militia to pre vent a conflict. Robert Hamil, who unjustly claimed a lot in the heart of the city, was ejected by the authorities, and both Hamil and the authorities had their supporters, and a conflict was imminent when Captain Cavanaugh, commanding the United States troops stationed here, dis persed the mob with a company of infantry.

A PERSONAL APPEAL For Jnsllce Made by General GofTBefore the West Virginia Legislature Ue Speaks of the Election Yet to Comr. rSPrCIAI, TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCII.I Charleston, January 24. General Gofi addressed the Gubernatorial Court to-day for five hours, talking to an audience only lim ited by the capacity of the State house, and including many of the most noted men of the State of all political beliefs. Those who expected a political stump speech were disappointed. It is conceded by all that his effort was argumentative and dealt with facts as he understood them in a very con vincing and able manner. At the outset he said: I appear here for the 79,000 voters of West Virginia who, in November, 18S8, elected me Governor of West Virginia. 1 appear before this court to obey their demands and to sustain their claims. You, gentlemen, occupy a won derful position to-aay. Not before In West Virginia's history has such a court assembled. For the first time tbe constitutional provision in relation to the election of a Governor is not being exercised. This is a peculiar court. The wrong judgments of other courts may be reversed and remedied, or appealed from, bnt from this court, now for the first time assembled in onr State, there is no ap peal. The question to be settled is a great and a grand one. It is not whom you want to fill the office of Governor of onr State. The question to be nettled is who did the people of West Virginia elect God knows I have wanted no controversy over this matter. I desired none of this high proceeding. I appealed to my competitor to go with me before the Su preme Court of the btate and settle the matter, but my efforts were of no avail. Passing to assertions of his opponents that gross frauds were perpetrated in the inter ests of the speaker at the last elections Gen eral Goff made an earnest and vehement de nial. He said: It has been charged that the State was colon ized for political purposes. It is untrue. The men, who. In the several counties, cast their votes for me in 1883 are still in these counties working at honest and honorable callings. The miners who went to the polls are still swinging their picks along tbe valleys of the streams and lines of tbe railroads and will be there when the next election day rolls around. During his argument he took up seriatim very many of tbe individual cases passed on by the committee and showed briefly but comprehensively his conception of the just ness or unjustness of the verdict found. fiEADY TO EIGHT. Caucus of Democratic Csngressmen to Consider tbe New Rules Resistance to the Last Will bo tbe Watch word From Now On. Washington, January 24. The Demo cratic members of the House were in cau cus for two hours to-night, with Mr. Hoi man, of Indiana, in the chair. The subject under discussion was the new code of rules now in course of preparation by the Committee on Rules. Briefly stated, those that were instanced by Mr. Carlisle as being particularly objectionable to the Democratic minority are the rules that do away with the present rights of the minority, only the calendars of the Committee of the Whole and the State of the Union; that make 100 a quorum of the Committee of the Whole; that re-establish the old morning hour rule when business must be considered in the order of the committee list and bills mnst be regarded as pending until disposed of, and that fail to make privileged the mo tions to adjourn, to a fixed day or take a receis. There was a long discussion over these proposed changes, which failed to result in the advancement of any practicable, scneme tor tne amelioration ol the repugnant features ot the new rnles. Then the contested election cases were talked over, and Mr. Crisp told of the purpose of tbe Bepublicans to call up the first of the West Virginia cases. It was generally agreed that the intention of the Kepublicans is to un seat as many Democrats and seat as many Bepublicans as will give them a fair work ing majority and insure a quorum, in order to force through the rules. Although no formal resolution was adopted, it was a matter of understanding among the Democratio members when the caucus adjourned that this Bepubli can plan should be resisted to the utmost, and that the minority should exer cise all of its constitutional rights to prevent its success. In other words, the determination is to fighl the rules legitimately when obnoxious sections are reached, and to refrain from voting and leave tbe House without a quorum if an at tempt is made to unseat Democratic mem bers before the rules are adopted. SHOT BY AX EMPLOYE. Tbe President of au Insurance Company Perhnpn Mortally Wounded. San Fkancisco, January 24. Louis L. Bromwell, President of the California In surance Company, was shot and badly wounded in his private office, on California street, this morning by George C. Pratt, the General Agent of the company. The shooting cansed a great sensation, as it was at first thought that the wounds sustained by Bromwell were mortal. He was removed to his home in Oaklands shortly after the shooting, and the surgeons attending him state that he will probably recover. Pratt was arrested and taken to the city prison. In explanation of the shooting Pratt said he bad recently been sent to Japan by Bromwell, and "upon returning one week ago received from his wile the confession that she had been wronged bv Bromwell. THE I WILL NOT STRIKE. Miners Rescind a Resolution Demanding an Increase of Waaes. KVECUI. TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.! Wimcesbabbe, Pa., January 24. At a meeting of the miners of the Wyoming Valley region last November it was resolved to demand an increase of wages on February 1, and in the event of not getting it a strike was to be declared. At an adjourned meeting this evening the former action was rescinded, owing to tbe depressed condition of the coal trade. BANK BILLS UNDER HIS TEEM.

HOME EDLB IS SURE TO PREVAIL The Grand Old Man Has a Great Eegard for the United States. A PLUNGER'S GAIHS AT MONTE CAELO. Hie Queen of Greece Has a Tery Harrow Escape From a Horrible Death. Mr. Gladstone entertained Bev. Dr. Tal mage yesterday. He spoke freely of his love for America, and said tuat the canse of home rule would he victorious at the next general election. The Queen of Greece narrowly escaped death in the coils of an electric light wire. There will be no con flict between England and Portugal. Liverpool, January 24. To-day Dr. Talmage, of Brooklyn, took luncheon and spent the afternoon with Mr. Gladstone at Hawarden Castle. Mr. Gladstone had tele graphed him yesterday, "Pray come to Hawarden to-morrow." Dr. Talmage was received very cordially by the ex-Premier and the two gentlemen had a long talk on religious and political questions. Mr. Gladstone said: "Talk about ques tions of the day there is but one question and that is the gospel. It can and will cor rect everything needing correction. All men at the head of great movements are Christian men. During the many years I was in the Cabinet I was brought into asso ciation with 60 master minds, and all but five of them were Christians. My only hope for the world is in bringing the human mind into contact with divine revelation." TAFFY FOB TALMAGE. Then placing his hand on Dr. Talmage's shoulder Mr. Gladstone warmly eulogized the Doctor's Christian zeal, and expressed his great gratification at the marvelous pub licity given to his sermons, which are now distributed in all lands and read in all lan guages. After luncheon the two great men linked arms and took a walk over Mr. Gladstone's vast estate, its Eroprietor commenting as lovingly on is wonderful trees as though they were human beings. He then inquired eagerly it Americans paiu proper aueimuu, to irec culture. Dr. Talmage asked Mr. Gladstone if the cause of Irish homerule would be victorious. Mr. Gladstone brightened up and re sponded emphatically: "Yes, when next election comes." He continued: "It seems to be a dispensation of God that I should be engaged in battle. At my time of life I shonld be resting. I never had any option in these matters. I dislike contest, but when Ireland, once the refuge of persecuted Englishmen, showed herself ready to adopt a righteous constitution and do her full dnty, I hesitated not a moment to espouse her cause." HE LOVES AMERICA. Concerning America he said: "No one outside the United States is bound to love it more than I am." Pointing to numerous beautiful gifts from America he went on to say: "Everywhere I have practical expres sion of the tender thoughtfulness and kind ness of the American people." Toward evening, when bidding Dr. Tal mage farewell Mr. Gladstone pressed into his hands some books and pamphlets con taining autographic inscriptions and also a copy of his own Latin rendering of his fav orite hymn, "Bock of Ages," and said: "Give my best regards to President Harri son and express to Mr. Blaine my deepest sympathy with him on account of the loss of his beloved son." A PLUiNGER AT M0XTE CARLO Borrows Money From the Bank and Then Wins 36,000 Louis. BT DCNLAP'S CABLE COMPACT. Monte Carlo, January 24. It is a fact that last week, Benzon, having lost all his money at rouge et noir, applied to tbe ad ministration ol the Casino for money and a ticket to Paris. The administration gave him the ticket and 5 louis. He went as far as Nice, where he sold his ticket for C louis, and immediately returned to Monte Carlo. The rules of the place forbid the tables to any one in debt to the administration. He gave the money to a companion, who played and won 100 louis. Benzon went to the manager, said he had received his remittance, repaid the loan, then went to the tables with the balance of the money and won 56,000 louis. Notwith standing all reports to the contrary, Benzon is still in custody for the alleged forgery of 1,000. His friends are making efforts to repay the money and obtain his release. Then the complainant will not prosecute him. Among his other attempts to swindle is the case of Morgan, the jeweler, in which 1,000 worth of jewels have been recovered. S0ULANGER HEARD FROM.

NELLIE ELY ON THE FLY. The Remarkable Record Made Across the Continent .Fastest Long Ran la the United States Her Journey Through Pittsburg to the East. Nellie Bly, the globe-girdler of the East ern press, passed through .fittsburg at 3 o'clock this morning, Eastern time. She came from Chicago by way of the Panhandle route, on train 20, arriving in this city at 2:50 A. M. There was a stop of only 30 min utes in the Union depot She was brought from Chicago on the first of the two sections composing that number. The track was cleared, by special orders, at every point, and the special efforts made to bring the train in on time were successful. Five extra engines were stationed along the route for use in case of necessity. Fortunately no de lay occurred, and only two changes of en gines, as usual, were made. At this city Miss Pink Cochrane was joined by Mr. H. A. Bray, passenger agent of the Sante Fe route located in Philadelphia, He continues the trip with her to Jersey City. Mr. Bray says that the time made by Miss Cochrane from San Francisco to Chi cago was the fastest railroad time ever made, for that distance, in the world. It was the fastest time ever made over the line of the Santa Fe railroad, and, with one exception, tbe best time ever made, on wbat might be called a through run, in this country. The distance from San Francisco to Chicago, by the Southern Pacific and Sante Fe routes, is 2,573 miles. That distance was made, by Miss Corhrane's special train of an engine and one car. in five minutes less than 71 hours. The average time for that whole distance was 36 miles per hour. Of tbe whole distance 381 miles, iromSan Francisco to Mojave, was over tbe Southern Pacific. For a large part of the distance on the Santa Fe the time made averaged 60 miles an honr. In one place a run of 19 miles was made in 17 minutes, or 67 miles an hour. Tbe average run from San Fraucisco to Chicago is five days. Miss Cochrane left Chicage at 1020 yes terday morning, central time, and the run to this point was a good one. The first re port out of Chicago came from Columbus last night, saying that Miss Cochrane's train reached Columbus, O., on time at 8:10 P. M central time. At least 300 people were gathered in the great depot there to greet her. In re sponse to their cheers she appeared, waved her hat and smiled. She was presented with flowers, and expressed surprise at the interest taken in her journey. She said she did not leel the least bit tired. At the Union depot in this city there was a goodly gathering of newspaper men, relatives and friends to greet tbe young lady. If her train is on time she will be in Jersey City at 3:52 p. sr. to-day. The time ends there. The seventy-second day of her trip will expire-at 9:40 this forenoon, so that if Mayor Cleveland, of Jersey City, greets her on time this aiternoon, she will have made the circle of the globe in 72 days, 6 hours and 12 minutes. Miss Bisland's steamer is not due until Tuesday morning. A railroad man last night said that the trip ironi San Francisco to New York alone would cost 83,000. Think They Have the Tnrentum Murderers.

OLD HUTCH A TICTIM Of a Conspiracy Amoog the Clerks of the Board of Trade. BE0KEES BEHIND THE SCHEME. A Sensation Promised When All the Details Are Hade Public. THE TOOLS AEE If 0W SAFE IX CANADA They feigned Slcinfss In Order to Secure tho Xieaea lime for Flight. B. P. Hutchinson, known as "Old Hutch," and another member of the Chi cago Board of Trade have been victimized by their clerks. The amount is placed as high as $50,000. It is intimated that rival brokers were at the bottom of the scheme. Chicago, January 24. B. P. Hutchin son, or "Old Hutch," has been robbed, and one of his settling clerks on the Board of Trade is now in Toronto, across the line, the embezzler of an amount ranging anywhere from 25,000 to 40,000. Mr. Hutchinson is not the only victim. "W. P. Dickinson & Co., another firm on the same floor with Hutchinson in the Board building, had a clerk in their employ who, it is alleged, was in the conspiracy, and Mr. Dickinson is a loser of an amount which is variouslv esti mated at from J7,000 to 15,000. His "clerk, like Hutchinson's has also taken to his heels, and Mr. Dickinson says that the two are now together in Toronto. The revelations did not come until yester day. Last Tuesday afternoon Dickinson's missing clerk, Bert King, complained that he was ill, and he went home. About the same hour Hutchinson's settling clerk, who is only known as Stoner, also became the victim of a severe attack of the grip, and he left ostensibly for his home. ONLT AN EXCUSE. That was the last seen of the two. They did not go home. Yesterday the exposure cape. Mr. Dickinson, who had implicit faith in King, and had given him full charge of the books, made an examination. To his surprise and consternation the books were mutilated so badly thatevervtbinr was chaos. Thousands of dollars were missincr just bow much Mr. Dickinson conld not say, ont an examination shows a deucit lor one month alone of 2,500. The reports of the defalcation spread with great rapidity, and soon Hutchinson was put down as being a victim. Although Hutch inson himsell conld not be fonnd, be having gone to his rooms and locked himself in, Mr. Dickinson said that the old gentleman had been bled pretty freely, and that the big trader's losses probably exceeded his own three' or four times over. The stealing has been going on for some time, and, until tbe accounts of both firms are settled there is no way of arriving at the exact amount. The plan of operation was simplicity itself. Stoner, Hutchinson's clerk, made out a check slip which passed through the Board of Trade Clearing House in the regnlar way, This slip was made out to Dickinson's firm as payee and represented the sums said to have been lost by Hutch in the market. The slip after it passed the clearing house iell into tbe hands of Bert King, who "stood in" with Stoner, and the checks were cashed, a division being made at the end of each deal. NOT THE FIRST HAUL. As the young men have succeeded in get ting their persons beyond the reach of the law it is a question of considerable doubt whether they are very much richer by the transactions which have cansed their native air to be unwholesome for them, and thereby hangs one of the most sensational stories that has stirred Chicago commercial circles for some time. This is nothing less than that this latest embezzlement is but a con tinuation, or part of a system, oi wholesale robbery by which"01d Hutch"has been vic timized for a period of nearly two jears. Most of the men who have engineered the scheme are said to be operators on the board, who have used certain clerks and employes as their tools, whom they managed to pilot off to Canada as soon as they had no further use for them, or their operations began to leak out There are a number ol well known firms whose names r re to be mixed up in this extraordinary scandal, but it is not proper, for obvious reasons, to make them pnblic at this stage. Hutchinson, while admitting the em bezzlement, denies that they foot up more than a few thousand dollars. T1CAKI0DS H0NESTI. The Sin of the Son U Presumably Visited Upon nil Parent. On the 5th inst Frank Mueller, a young German, only two weeks in the country, robbed his cousin, Henry Mueller, with whom he was making his home at 2627 Sarah street, of 700 in German coin and de parted for parts unknown. Henry Mueller was a hard-working man ana the money was a legacy left him by a deceased relative in Fatherland. He notified the police and telegrams were sent all over the country in the none oi intercepting tne dishonest cousin, but no replies came in. Yesterday Mueller called at Central sta tion and told Inspector McAleese that he need not look for Frank Mueller any more. He exhibited a cablegram from Frank's father, who is a wealthy shipbuilder in Ger many, which stated that Frank was in En gland, and tbe father would make good the money stolen. A WELL-TIMED SUGGESTION. Safety Brakes Maggestrd for Cars on tho Monongahela Incline. A suggestion of a passenger on the Mo nougahela incline while rapidly ascending the height yesterday afternoon may prove most timely in view of the recent disaster in Cincinnati, and tbe matter is well worthy the careful consideration of the management and their immediate action. "I notice," said the passenger on reaching the top, "that the freight elevator is pro vided with a 'brake,' while no such precau tion has been taken to provide for the safety ol the passenger car." "Ihe brake is a very simple contrivance worked automatically, and 'chocks' tbe wheels immediately alter the car reaches its destination. Its cost is very trifling, and it forms a perfect safeguard in the event of the wire cable being broken. True there is a sa'ety cable, but making 'assurance doubly sure' seems a wise plan, especially when ac companied with so little expense." Are Incendiaries nt Work. A new house in Casey's row, on Fifth avenue, near Bellefield, was damaged by fire to the extent ot 500 last night It is thought that the fire 'was of incendiary origin, as there was no fire around the build ing from which it could have started. Chief Steele said that there have been five alarms of fire in buildings in tbe course of erection in that vicinity recently. Election of Officers.
