STALE! WILL STAY President tfimick Won't Take Thousands For Him. BASEBALL LAW LAID DOTO Manager Phillips Overtaken by Another Eelapse. A GRAND BENEFIT SUGGESTED. Two Race Meetings Arranged to Take Place at Erie. GENERAL SPOETLVG NEWS OF TEE DAT As intimated in yesterday's Dispatch, there is no intention on the part of the di rectors of the local club to part with Staley. The report that such was the intention has been floating round for several days, but it was only officially downed yesterday. "Whether or not the adverse comments on such alleged action published in these col umns yesterday had anything to do with an official declaration on the matter, is not clearly known. However, it is satisfactory to know that Harry Staley is not among the list of contemplated victims. Yesterday President NimicK plainly stated that under no consideration would Staley be parted with. "Except," he said, "some un fortunate circumstance which we have not the least idea of occurs. I wouldn't take thousands of dollars for Staley." This statement will most assuredly be satis factory to almost all the baseball patrons in this vicinity. Staley may be a great man in his business or be may be a failure, but certainly be has already given more promise than any youngster in the Leacne. staley's good case. This really is the entire case of Staley, and it is a good one. It is only fair to say that Presi dent Kimick never thought or Disposing with Staley. and the report to the effect that he did was plainly discredited in these columns yes terday. Mr. Nimick's presence in the city yesterday was due to the circumstance that almost every Fittsburger who reads about baseball will sin cerely regret. Manager Phillips, who has been confined to a sick room for some time, and who lias been gradually recovering during the last rew days, had another relapse yesterday. Pres ident Ximick was sent for and was with 5 he sick manager a considerable time. "Horace," as he is familiarly called, was a very sick man, but none of his immediate friends had any fear of serious result's. Regrets were numerous in Hio fVntril Hotel, hut ehieflv because the local club manager was so well known as a jovial fellow. The hope is that he may be a little better to-day. During the afternoon President Isimick's at tention w.ii drawn to the plain statement of President N. E. Young, regarding the White Rowe matter. A few days ago the veteran Henry Chadwick wrote President Young defl mtelv. akinjr him his opinion of the case. The following reply from President Young was re ceived by Mr. Chadwick: 'Washington, January 8. Dear Mr Chadwick: In relation to the Detroit clnb, they are mem bers or the National Leajrne in good standing, and will so remain until their resignation is re ceived and accepted. 'Once a' League player alwavs a League player." If Bill Smith and Tom Jones are reserved players of the Detroit club, and said S. and J. are released from such reservation, thev are subject to the acceptance of the other clubs of the League for a period of ten days. If their services are not accepted within that time, they are free to contract .-yid play witli any club desiring their services; but. 7crcontrn. if their services are accepted, they tmmtdialcly become reserved players of the club accepting, and immediately after the pro mulgation of such acceptance, they are ineligi ble to contract or play with any other National Agreement clnb. That is the plain written law. The subsequent withdrawal of the De troit club from League membership cuts no figure at all. If, however, on the other hand, they should tender their resignation and the same should be accepted. It would carry with it the unconditional release of all players under contract and reservation by or with it who had not previously been released and whose ser vices had not ooen accepted by some other League club. Yours truly, N. E. Youkg." PRESIDENT BTRXE'S OPINION. Mr. Chadwick. in the Sporting Life, goes on to say: When I questioned Mr. Byrne he called my attention to article 5 of the national agree ment, which reads as follows: "Upon the release of a player from contract or reservation with any club member of either Association party hereto, the services of snch pla3er shall at once be subject to the accept ance of the other clubs of such Association, expressed in writinc or by telegraph, to the secretary thereof for a period of ten days after notice of said release, and thereafter if said services be not so accepted, said player may negotiate and contract with any other clnb (in or out of the League). The secretary of such Association shall send notice to the secretary of the other Association of said player's re lease on the date thereof, and of said accept ance of his services at or before the expiration of the ten days aforesaid." When President Nimick saw these official statements he simply said: "Why, it is just as I have contended all -along. IfRowe does not want to play ball any more, why goodness kuo s that wo don't want to force him to con tinue the business. We are not so tyranical as that in Pittsburg. But if he wants to play ball it then becomes a matter of business, and be knows it. I'm sure I would like to see Rowe play here, and I'm certain that we can get along well toiether if he comes. However, the integrity of the League is at stake if we allow liitu to play elsewhere after we have bargained fnr his services. This fact raises the question to a national level, and we don't want to allow any precedent that may injure the prospects of the national game." The Tennis Cbnmpionslilp. The third annual open tennis tournament of the St. Augustine, Fla., Tennis club, for both singles and doubles, will begin Tuesday, March 12. 1869.

Wannop said: "I bare come to Boston hoping to arrange for a purse contest, an I am open lor any heavy-weight, either Joe Lannon, Jack Ashton. George Godfrey or anybody that is at liberty and Inclined to give me a chance. I don't say I can whip anybody, but I am in t'lo business, and open for engagements. I have not been beaten yet."

Dalrymple, the old outfielder of the Chicago White Stocking Clnb during the years of 1879 to 1887, and afterward with the Prttsburgs, has signed a contract to play with Denver's new team this season. ABOUT PACEKS. A Local Veteran of the Truck Tells How to Train Them. The following interview with Mr. Samuel Keys, of this city, is published in the Horse man this week: "Sam, let us talk about pacers and how yon train and drive them to win." "That's too much of a question for me to answer and make it useful to the boys. I've heard of men training by the book, and that one of them in driving a beat forgot his lesson. Of course he hadn't time to slow up and study the book, as he used to do in exercising, so he was all at sea and lost the race. I may say gen erally that I try to understand the nature, con stitution and peculiarities of my subject in hand. No two are alike. They need diiferent work and feeding. What suits one don't agree with the other fellow at all, and you must euard acainst dulling the edge after you have it boned right If so, there ill be fewer off days in the campaign. Now. there was mv old partner, Magoozler, that made a record of 220K more than 20 years ago. He was a very even-handed horse. Give him plenty of clean hay and oats on time, mashes and grass when necessary, also thor ough grooming and regular work with kind treatment always, and he could be 'depended upon to pace a good race. "Lucy, 2:14, was an independent, don't-care kind of mare, but when just at a fine edge she would make the talent look a little out. No race was too long for her, as you know." A GOOD SUGGESTION. Jim Connors Expands a Little on Dankerlj's Offer. Jim Connors, the wrestler, called at this offico last night to reply to the offer of James Dunk erly, published in .this paper yesterday. Con nors made a very sensible statement, as fol lows: "I think that something more beneficial than a single wrestling match can be arranged tor the benefit of the sufferers of the Wood street accident. Of course I will wrestle Dunkerly, but 1 think we can arrange an evening's ath letic entertainment of a very high order. For instance, we bave"in the citv athletes of all kinds, including first-class boxers. Why can't we get two or four good boxers, horizontal bar performers, club swingers and other athletes, the whole to conclude with a match between Dunkerly and myself. If this can be arranged I want the Carpenters' Union to take charge of all the receipts. Of course every performer will appear free." ERIE'S PROGRAMME.

Billy came here from Pittsburg, and looks as sleek and well-kept as a banker's son. He is dressed in good taste and gives evidence of takimr excellent care of himself. He has not touched intoxicating liquor for over nine months, and is in excellent condition. Taylor Played last season with Sam Crane's Scranton (Pennsylvania) team, and did well. Billy's only grievance is the way he has been treated bv some "funny tin-pan base ball reporters," as he calls them. "It is a case of dog Tray with me," said Billy. "There are a certain class of baseball writers who have done all they can to 'queer1 me. I know I used to drink some, but I never harmed anybody or was ever arrested. I don't know why I should be classed up with some of the star lushers of the profession, but I have been. I won't give them a chance to do it again, how ever, as I intend to take care of myself. Under the new rules I will be back in pitching form. I won't have to look for a job; the job will look for me. I can put them across the plate just as fast as anybody." Taylor always was a good player, and in his present fine condition he oucht to make a irood showing in any company, Cincinnati Enquirer. Tho Colnmbns Team. tSrrCIAI.

It Wh Another HalL Dr. Hall called at this office last evening and stated that he was not the "Hall" Who wrestled Jim Connors at the East End Gymnasium on Saturdav evening. The Doctor said: "It seems that an effort is being made to spoil my match with Ed. Reilly. I wrestle no fakes, and when I contest it is for victory." A Good Yearling Sold. John Hienes, of Minerva. O., a few days ago sold a yearling colt by Starmont for $1,500. John will be remembered by younger people than old-timers as the owner and driver of Silver Sides, Lew Scott and others. Sporting Notes. McAxeer has signed with Cleveland. TnERE is little ehanco of a battle between "the Marine" and Reagan. Dempsey states that he is always ready to make a match with Mitchell. It is stated that Kilrain will demand a change in the articles of agreement between himself and Sullivan. J. B. P. Fancier: Poultry is not included In the list of the Pittsburg dog show. Of course all classes of dogs are. Jack: Dempset, the pugilist, arrived in the city early this morning. His opinions regard ing current pugilistic topics, which have appeared frequently during the lasttwo weeks, are unchanged. Speaking of the Rowe-White matter Henry Chadwick says: The Detroit club have vir tually sold the release of White to the Boston club,'an'l of Rowe to the Pittsburg club, and these clnbs having accepted these players, it follows that they are now respectively on the reserved list of these two clubs, and can so be held vear after year as I understand the mat ter fn a sort of League bondage. The question is, bow does the Leagne law stand against onr common law? It is very certain that neither White nor Rowe can play m Buffalo this year. All they can do is to run that club without plavingonthe team. Both knew the law Gov erning the League contracts when they signed with Detroit, and both must abide by what they voluntarilyagreed should control their services as ball players."

HANDS OFF, MR. WISE. The Ex-Congressman Denies That He Agreed to Stand Aside and SEE JIAH02JE GO INTO THE CABINET Ho Charges the General With Losing the State of.Yirginia. G0YERN0B HOYEI'S INAUGURATION To be Celebrated With Much Pomp and Ciretmutuee and a Grand BalL Ex-Congressman "Wise, recently of Vir ginia, bnt now of New York, visited the President elect yesterday. It is supposed he went to prevent the appointment oi Ma hose to a Cabinet position, but how he suc ceeded he refused to state. He was very bitter against Mahone, and charged him with losing Virginia, Governor Ho vey will be inaugurated to-day. General Harrison will visit Virginia during the summer. Indianapolis, January 13. This morning's early train from Cleveland brought no less a person than ex-Congressman John S. "Wise, formerly of Virginia, but who qnietly slipped into the Hew Deni son and registered from New York, admon ishing the clerk not to call any one's at tention to his presence. When his presence became known there was aflutter among the politicians and the correspondents, all of whom jumped to the conclnsion that the redoubtable Virginian had come to fight "Billy" Mahone. and prevent his securing a Cabinet prize if possible. "Wise sought an early interview with Col onel John C. New at the latter's residence, and then proceeded out to General Harri son's, arriving at the house, unaccompanied, just alter the family bad sat down to lunch. His visit was unexpected, but General Har rison gave him a Virginian's welcome and invited him to lunch. The midday meal over, the General and his guest spent a quarter of an hour in private conversation. A BLAST FOB MAHOSE, "What passed between them can only be judged from the interview had with Mr. wise on his return from the General's. Mr. "Wise declared that his visit had no political significance; that he had a law suit at Akron, and he merely ran down to Indian apolis to spend Sunday. He would not admit that the very recent visit of 22 promi nent Virginians in the interest of General Mahone furnished motive for his visit. But in the course of his conversation he in veighed against the celebrated little Gen eral with all his old time fire and invective, declaring that it wonld be disastrous to the .Republican party in the South to put General Mahone in the Cab inet. "When asked whether he made such declarations to the President-elect, he de clined to state what passed in their conver sation. He vehemently proclaimed that Mahone lost the State of Virginia to General Harri son in the late election. That owing to the factional Congressional candidates in the Fourth (Petersburg) district. General Har rison's majority was only 3,000, whereas the usual Republican majority in that district was 7,500. HE'S A KNICKERBOCKER. Some of the Mahonites when here stated that "Wise had agreed "to keep hands off," in their efforts to obtain Cabinet recognition for General Mahone. That "Wise was no longer a citizen of Virginia, but was a New xorker, ana had renonnced Virginia poli tics. Mr. "Wise did not exactly corroborate this, but emphatically denied that he had agreed to "keep hands off." As to his change of residence, he said, "I have quit being a negro-bucker, and am now quite a knicker bocker." "Wise spent the afternoon with ex-Congressman AY. H. V. Calkins and left at 7:30 this evening for Cleveland, en route to Akron. Another distinguished visitor who ar rived to-day is John F. Plummer, the well known New York merchant, President of the Harrison and Morton Drygoods Club of New York, and Vice President of the Union League Club. He was prominently identi fied with the financial end of the campaign in New York. He will be joined late to night by the Hon. "Warner Bateman, of New York, and it is understood they are here 10 urge Cabinet recognition for ex Senaior "Warner Miller. They will call on General Harrison in the morning. ANYBODY BUT MILLEE. Another party of New Yorkers are en route from Canajoharie with ex-State Sen ator "W. J. Arkall at their head. Editor Sleicher, of Albany, and several others equally as prominent, are in the party. They will arrive about midnight. It is under stood this party comes to urge the case of ex-Senator Piatt, and that they are in favor of some third man from New York in case the President-elect cannot honor Piatt. General Harrison passed the day at home, attending church this morning, accompanied by Mrs. Harrison and Mr. and Mrs. Mc Kee. It being communion Sunday the General, as one of the elders of his church, participated as usual in passing the sacra mental elements In talking with Richmond gentlemen yes terday. General Harrison said his ancestors came from near that historic city. He said he proposed, together with Mrs. Harrison, to pay a visit at an early date to the home of his ancestor, Benjamin Harrison, the signer. Every incoming train to-day brought its quota of visitors irom all points in the State to participate in to-morrow s inaugural cele brations. The members of the electoral college of Indiana also arrived, and will meet at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning in the hall of the House of Representatives and cast the vote of Indiana for President and Vice President. FOB THE INATJOUBATION. The hotels are crowded and orders con tinue to pour in from Ohio, Illinois and other States asking landlords to reserve rooms. The scene in the lobby of the New Denison this afternoon and to-night was a repetition of the nightly scenes during the exciting days of the campaign. General Hovey's rooms were crowded with callers. Among the arrivals this evening were Judge G. V. Menzies and Mrs. Menzies. the daughter of General Hovey. "With them came the General's son, Charles J. Hovey, and his wife and two children.

Chicago, January 13. There is a romance in the life of Ed "Wolcott, who was last night nominated for Senator from Colorado, known to but a few intimate friends in Chicago, where the plot de veloped. "Wolcott graduated at Yale Col lege in the same class with Louis James, the actor, and, having fitted himself for the law, came "West a "briefless barrister" in the most literal sense, and located in Chicago. He didn't remain here permanently, however, and his failure to do so was due to a love affair with the handsome daughter of Judge Caton. It was a case of mutual affection, inspired at their first meeting, which occurred at a swell reception. He was socially conspic uous while here, and their subsequent meet ings but confirmed the impression made. They became engaged, and the day was set for the wedding and all preparations made for the" event. Suddenly "Wolcott informed Miss Caton that the wedding must be postponed fora year, as he was compelled to take a trip abroad. She consented, but when the case was placed before her parents they utterly refused to sanction the union, and declared that she must never marry him. Subse quently Miss Caton married another gentle man, and now resides in Chicago, while "Wolcott went to Colorado and rapidly forged to the front. He is yet on the sunny side of 30 and possessed of immense wealth,, lives in princely style, and entertains with a lavish hand. A TIP FROM OLD PEOBS. Tho Warm Wenther Does Not Indicnto a Inte Spring. Providence, January 13. According to tbe following extract from a semi-private letter received here the "Weather Depart ment apparently does not believe that the present mild weather indicates a late winter and cold spring: Signal Office, "Washington, January .10. The significance of the unusual weather con ditions for tbe past seven months can be ex plained only with reference to the abnormal distribution of atmospheric pressure over tbe Northern hemisphere. Under the doctrine of averages we could reasonably look for an open, mild winter, since the late spring and summer was colder than usnal, and to counterbalance the deficiency of temperature In tbe spring and summer there should be an excess in the win ter just now occurring. This, however, cannot be regarded as responsible for future prophe cies, since the scientific use of tbe average can only refer to very prolonged periods, and can not safely be referred to in special short periods, such as six months or a year, in case of temperature and rainfall. My personal opinion is that no one has reasonable ground for predicting a late spring on the simple basis of the present winter being so far mild and open. .- "A. W. Greeley, Chief Signal Officer. ONE OF BEADDOCK'S BULLETS Found Near the Heart of nn Old Tree Felled In Maryland. ' CrMBiteLAifD, Md., January 13. A white pine tree was cut recently two miles south of Shade Mills, in Garrett county, near the site of the old Braddock road, and converted into shingles. It was a large tree, and by expert woodsmen estimated to be at least 300 years old. In cutting it up the saw, going through some tough sub stance, then supposed to be a knot, attracted attention, and investigation disclosed a bul let embedded within two inchesofthe heart. The tree at this point was 32 inches in diameter. About one-third of the bullet was sawed away, the remainder, weighing at least an ounce, being left in a corner of the butt end of a shingle. The ball is sup posed to have been shot from a musket by one of Braddock's men during the campaign which culminated in the disaster at Fort Duqnesne. In this event the bullet was embedded in the tree 133 years ago, each year's growth burying it deeper. It is a most interesting memento of the ill-starred campaign of 1755. A D0UBTFDL BIRTH. American Connies Going to Austria Mast Take Their Marriage Certificates. London, January 14. The Vienna cor respondent of the Times says: American couples abont to travel in Austria ought to take with them their marriage certificates. An American lady recently gave birth to a child here, and the father, accompanied by witnesses, went to register the birth. Owing to the absence of the marriage cer tificate, the clerk said he must record the birth as illegitimate, and the only conces sion made, after much expostulation, was the substitution of the word "doubtful" for illegitimate. Further, on being told ihat the parents belonged to the Anglican Church, the clerk wrote down, "No religion." AN EXCITING LIFE. Irish Tennnt Farmers Raided, Beaten, Evicted and Imprisoned.

General Harrison Will Not Forget the Scarred Veterans Who FOUGHT BRAVELY BI HIS SIDE. The Grand Armj Button a Recommenda tion for Federal Office. THE WAR BROKE THE DULL MONOTONY Of His Life and Gave film an Opportunity to Else to Higher Levels. The warm reception which the President elect always gives to an old soldier shows that his heart is with the veterans. Many little incidents go to confirm this opinion. It is expected that the boys in blue will not be forgotten in the distribution of offices. Indianapolis, January 13. "Whoever ignores the old soldier in calculating the in fluences that will have a share in control ling the next Administration makes a great mistake. There is a singular quality in the regard which the President-elect bears toward his old comrades in arms. On only two or three occasions since he was nomin ated for the Presidency has he shown any symptoms publicly of being overcome by his feelings. Once was when he attended, some time ago, a reunion of the members of his old regiment. Then he made a little speech that was almost tender, and, accompanied by his wife and son, he spent an hour or more in chatting, laughing and joking with the veterans, who acted toward him, appar ently with his entire approval, as toward a perfect equal, treated Mrs. Harrison as one of themselves, and chucked Bussell under the chin and told him stories about the time when he was the Colonel's little kid and used to be passed around among the soldiers to be petted and made much of. It was re marked then that that evening was the first time that General Harrison had seemed really happy and free from care since he was nominated. HE IS ONE OF THE BOTS. Another time when General Harrison manifested real feeling was a few nights ago, when he bade farewell to his comrades in George E. Thomas G. A. K. Post. He spoke to the veterans as though they had been his brothers, and singularlymanifested what must have' been a leading subject in bis mind when he impressed upon them that the preservation of a free and honest ballot was the great thing need ful for the safety of the country and urged' them to use their in fluence to preserve the purity of elections. The speech would have had no significance had it been intended for the public, but spoken as it was at a private gathering, and at a gathering where re marks of that sort were entirely out of the natural order, it betrayed the fact that General Harrison's mind must have been dwelling a great deal on that subject. That the speech was intended merely for the veterans themselves was shown by the General's manner when, afterward, one of the comrades asked him tor a copy of it for publication. He seemed startled at the idea, and exclaimed: "Oh, no; this is a family matter; it was not for the public," and after a moment he added, "Besides, I couldn't give it to you if I wanted to; I couldn't tell myself just what I did say." That remark abont the speech being "a family matter" betrays significantly the way in which the President-elect regards his old comrades. Political associates may be very close to him, but it is not likely that he would ever refer to any transaction with them as "a family matter." Another phase of the same side of the General's character was shown by his refusal to ban quet with the Loyal Legion in this city recently on an occasion of which it had been intended that he should be the bright par ticular star. BROKE THE MONOTONY. It is with the soldiers as soldiers, and not with any particular class of them, that he fraternizes as with members of his family. He recognizes no gradations among men who all alike risked their lives for their country. It is not difficult to account for this unusual bent of the General's mind when the circumstances of his life are con sidered. He was born and raised amid sur roundings of the most commonplace sort. His early years were as devoid of inter esting or inspiring experiences as the level, monotonous country in which he lived. The fame of his ancestors was but a lamp glowing behind him, which lengthened the shadows that stretched in front and into which his steps continually led. The bur den of the poverty in which he lived was not so hard as the burden of commonplaceness that kept him always toiling along the same even plane of life, with nothing behind worth remembering and nothing before worth hoping for. So he lived on until manhood, always moving in a dull, monoto nous round, as devoted ot adventure as it was of comfort. Into this life the "War of the Kebellion broke like a storm upon a peaceful plain. The crash of arms aroused in him a spirit that had slumbered for two generations nearly, and an inspiration came into his life, probably the only thing of the sort it had or has ever known. The customs of a lifetime are not thrown off in a day, and his lot had ever been so hard that the idea of any change, no matter what, was delightful. The leaven of his ancestors had to take time to work in the spirit dulled by an eventless life, and so Harrison's military career was Delated and he missed tbe op portunities from which the instinctive dash and brilliancy of other men created great ness. FOSTOFFICES FOE SOLDIERS. But all the testimony agrees that he was a thorough soldier, a hard fighterand a good Elanaer. As much as his nature would let im he made a passion ot war and followed it as a mistress of his heart. The hard ex periences and the novel companionships of the campaign were like wine to a man who had never drank anything stronger than mild tea. The delight of tbe noise and rush of battle and the rough adventures of the march and the bivouac were like an opium eater's dream to the country lawyer whose life theretofore had known no more varia tion than that of a treadmill. Ont of this single enthusiasm of a dull lifetime came the tenderness which has ever since animated all General Harrison's feel ings toward soldiers. It is like a man's re membrance of a youthful sweetheart. It is. so far as can be seen, the one exception to me ruie ui rcasuu auu jugic mat uoiuiuhics the life of the President-elect. How far the exception will extend and how great an influence it will be on the conrse of the ad ministration is a matter that only time can reveal. It will "certainly reach as high as a first-class postoffice, and it may tell in even more important official matters. In matters of a personal and social nature connected with the administration it may even become a predominant influence. It is safe to predict, at the very least, that dur ing the next four years a Grand Army but ton will be a better passport at the "White House than a bundle of letters of recom mendations from politicians, and that there will be a readier hearing there for the man who fought at Besaca than for the one who made the battle at the Sixteenth precinct of the Eleventh ward. Hungry Dervishes Will -Surrender. Suakim, January 13.

WHI CHIEF AETHUR QUITS. The Locomotive Engineers Want Another Head to the Brotherhood. Chicago, January 13. A local newspa per announces to-day that Chairman Gav ner, of tbe special committee which recently cettled the "Q." strike, is the coming suc sessor of P. M. Arthuras Grand Chief Engi neer of the Brotherhood. Gavner is still in the "West, and will soon go to New York. -He himself will not admit that he is a candi date, but he is free in criticising Mr. Ar thur's management. Said an ex-striker, now filling a comfortable position in another business: It is an open secret that Chief Arthur will re sign before the opening of the next session of the brotherhood. He knows as well as anybody that he can never be re-elected, and refers to retire on the plea that e has other Interests commanding his attention. Mr. Arthur was first elected in 1874. He is now worth over $500,000, and can afford to retire. He may have been a great man for the Brotherhood, but he never won a strike." "Has the Brotherhood ever won a striker 'Not under Arthur's management. His first failure was with the Boston and Maine Bail road. He tried to settle it and then ordered a strike. Everything was in favor of the engin eers, but they were completely beaten. Then came the Beading strike. In which we were whipped out of onr boots. The Grand Trunk strike was a similar failure, and so was the strike on the Brooklyn elevated roads. In this latter striko Arthur had so antagonised tbe Knights of Labor that members of their union resigned good jobs to take the places of our men. The result was that we were beaten In side of 38 hours. Arthur repaid the Knights when their men struck on tbe Beading; they repaid him when the Brotherhood men struck on the Q,' " TEE CEINESE GOING. LI Mong Kovr Says Ah Sin "Will Leave America in Ten Years. Ottawa, Ont., January 13. Li Mong Kow, Chinese agent in British Columbia, was here to-day transacting business with the Governmeut. Of Chinese immigration he said: ' The Canadian people do not seem to want tbe Chinese, but we are much better treated here than in tbe United States, though the people in British Columbia are afraid of our people because tbey work so much cheaper. I am often asked why our countrymen never settle here, and I reply the trouble is in regard to the law. If all restrictions were removed there would be a greater Influx of Chln-seinto this country. Ourpeoplearegood,peacefni,law ablding citizens, and would like to settle in Canada. I have now been 15 years in the United States and Canada, and X like your manners and enstoms better than I do those of my country. Our Government is trying to keep the Chinese away from the United States. The Emperor has a just conception of his duty, and issued an edict recalling all my countrymen in tbe United States. But he does not understand their position. Many Chinese are settled there, and they have amassed wealth and property. To leave at once would be to sacrifice every thing. I have no doubt tbey will obey the or der gradually, and that in ten years all will be at home. A LESSON IN POLITENESS. Hair a Connecticut Man is Teaching the Central Office One. "Wateebtjry, Conn., January 13. E. A. Saunders, of Nangatuck, wished a few days ago to call a doctor over the telephone. The operator at the central office here said, after trying, that the doctor would not answer. Later Mr. Saunders tried again and heard the operator say, "He is after the doctor. Let the fool ring." Once more he tried, remarking that he had been ringing for half an hour. The retort was: "You're a liar." Mr. Saunders then bronght snit against the Southern New England Telephone Com pany for neglect of dnty and abusive language. Operator Quinland denied having used such langnage, but Justice Gibbons to-day found the company guilty, and imposed a fine of $100 and costs. An appeal was taken. The company is wealthy, has a monopoly and its hundreds of sub scribers are watching the case with interest. BAD FOE BOULANGEE, Hia Opponent Calls Him n Rebel Seeking to Rain the Nntion.

Jacques says "With a Bepublican army there is no need to fear a Sedan with a Cae sarian armv, which would cease to be ex clusively French in order to become the army of a rebel soldier, defeat would be doubled by dishonor." M. Jacques advises the electors not to listen to a soldier who has lost the right to apneal to the flag, and to reject one whose candidature signifies indiscipline and na tional ruin.

A BANK TRAITOR AND COWARD Is TViat They Declare They Can Without Trouble Prove Him to Be. HE K0 JIOEE PBEACHES ON ANAECHT. Sines He Began to Hie Away Wealth His TIewi Ears Changed Greatly. Herr Most is denounced as a greedy and self-seeking cormorant of the anarchistio society he taught for four years. His old comrades say he is a traitor to the canse and that he is a coward who has deserted them since he began to get rich on the profits of his newspaper. They have issued an ad dress containing their complaint. rSPXCXU. TILIOKAM TO THI DISPATCH.1 New York, January 13. The Badical Arbeiter Bund, which is made up of Anarchists whom John Most taught in Austria and Hungary from 1868 to 1872, held a meeting to-day at 525 East Fiftieth, street, and went for Most with a sharp stick. They adopted a circular which they had addressed, "To all honest Eevolution ists." It says: "Since coming to the United States, Most is rapidly becoming conservative, and since the Cnicago An archists were hanged, he has positively be come cowardly." They go on to say that Most heard soma way that they had plotted to supplant him as the leader of the Anarchists of the United States, and had started in to denounce his detractors. His followers took up the cudgels for him and division of the anarch istic ranks resulted. CUTTING ENTIRELY LOOSE. The Arbeiter Bund, having made up its mind to part company with Most, goes on to call him a greedy and self-seeking cormorant, who wants money and seeks his own personal aggrandizement. Most kept, on saying in the Freiheit that they proposed to get him out of the way. They had planned to kill him, he said, and had set tled on the anniversary of the hanging of the Chicago Anarchists, November 10, as the day of the slaughter. They were going to kill him right after the parade. He fought the parade and was opposed to every sort of a demonstration, even a pnblic meet ing. Among the offenses laid at Host's door is that he denounced Herr Stahlmacher, who murdered the police officer Eumff, in Austria. Most frequently charged in the Freiheit that Stahlmacher was not a man to be trusted. The Arbeiter Bund, in their proclamation, pronounced the charge against Stahlmacher an outrage. They say Most refused to publish the notices of their meetings, and even dared to keep away from the meetings continuously. HE'S GETTING EICH. They say that they now know that Most is getting rich from the profits from the Freiheit. They cite as an evidence, that after Inspector Byrnes pulled him ont from under a bed and locked him up, Most de clared that the police had stolen $180 from him. "Where did he get it, the Bund asks, if it wasn't from the Freiheit? He is not the same John Most he was. "Instead of a propaganda of deeds he advo cates a propaganda of talk," the Arbeiter Bund avers. "Now he is a Communist. Formerly he was a Federationist. Now a believer in authority. Formerly he was op posed to all authority. Now he proclaims against the revolutionary movement in Europe. He tells us to look after the move ment here." The proclamation appeals to all good Anarchists to crush out all leaders who assume authority. It calls on Anarchists everywhere to support the International anarchistic revolutionary agitation in Europe and wage warfare against Most and the Ijreiheit. It may be that there's a rival Anarchist newspaper at the bottom ot it. An Inopportune Time to Dlscnss Slavery P.OME, January 13.
