How the "Western Lightweight Was e

GENERAL SPOETIKG KEWS OF THE DAT
Sam Hyams, the popular poolseller on
baseball games, has contracted to leave this
city and go to Denver, Col. He will become
a member of the firm to be established by
John Loomis in that Colorado city, and the
fact is Sam is very loth to go out of Pitts
burg. There is another fact, and that is
many of the many thousands of local baseball
enthusiasts regret his departure,
Hyam's leaving this city prompts many in
teresting thoughts. He is one of the best In
formed sellers on baseball games that probably
has been in Pittsburg; but this is not the great
feature of his departure. His leaving means
that the exciting times that there used to be on
"score or no score" will no more be in Pittsburg.
Inquiries of the strictest kind have proven
that for a few years at least no pools, no matter
what tbej relate to, will be allowed in this city.
For some time past the hope has been ex
pressed that that poolselling business in a baseball-selling
way would be tolerated; bnt all
hopes have been blighted, and the crowds of
cranks who thronged the poolrooms last season
must now be satisfied that they must make
their wagers in private.
WILL THE BETTING DECLINE.
The Question among the local enthusiasts is
will the absence of a public poolroom prevent
the betting on the games that used to be last
season? On this question many opinions were
collected by the writer yesterday afternoon
During the canvass it was instructive to learn
the diversity of notions as to whether or not
betting on baseball would decrease at all. Rep
resenting the pool sellers, perhaps Ed Lowry
spoke more logically than anybody else. He
e&id:
"Of course I am of opinion that pool selling
of any kind will not be allowed for a long time
to come in Pittsburg, but I question whether or
not bettinc in its vicious character will be
stopped. Now, on this point I want to make
myself very clear, because the time will
assuredly come when the public will
discern the difference between betting
publicly and betting in private
grottos, or what I term irresponsibly. The pool
rooms have been stopped, but the betting spirit
has not been extinguished. This means that
bets v, ill be made in a way that any amount of
encouragement will be given to '"Welsbers,"
that is. people v. ho hold stakes and disappear
null them. Take baseball for instance, there
are hundreds of people who will, under any
circumstances, bet on results. No law will
stop these people from betting one with an
other. You may lock them in a church and
they .will have the schedule of games, and, de
pend upon it, they vi ill discover means to make
a bet about every club for any day. In their
efforts to make bets clandestinely, it is likely
that
THET -WOULD COEBtTTT PEOPLE
in the church, that is if an honest wager can
corrupt anybody. I mention this to show that
the spirit of betting, or wagering, particularly
on nascbsll, cannot be killed except we con.
vince the people that they must not bet. It
follows then that as long as the desire to bet
exists betting ought to be regulated, just as the
vending of many articles, v. ben used to excess
are injurious, are regulated. Betting without
regulation, or under absolute laws of prohibi
tion, develops into the most vicious forms of
robbery and swindling: simplv because the en
tire business is considered illegal. The sense
ot illegality prevents honest men from being
responsible sponsers in the business, and the
spirit to bet on a populargame is so strong that
the people who are so enthusiastic because of
an honest love for the game it ill risk a bet un
der any circumstances.
"These ideas have been gathered by me dur
ing a busy career in many places both East
and West. Of couse I couldn't sell pools in
Pittsburg next season if the law allowed it, but
1 do say that the honesty of baseball cannot be
made better by the prevention of public bet
ting or speculative transactions. Why, I am
prepared to bet that a bet on an every-day
baseball game between two professional clubs
is more honest than any lottery in which we
participate in a church. The very men who
assume to stop a public wager on a baseball
game are those generally who risk
all the little money they have
and all that their friends own on
the turn of the political wheel. Tell me which
is the most honest? Two honest baseball nines
in the field, or two blooded and majestic horses
strugcling for supremacy, or two representa
tives of two political parties running for office
Why in the two former we get what is fair, no
matter what we lose: but in the last named
thousands of dollars are lost, and I need tell
nobody as to bow the money was lost. I am a
poolseller, and I state that as long as the public
want to bet there will be betting, and the
stronger that the law to prohibit is, the greater
will be the swindling."
A young gentleman identified with a bank in
this city, and a baseball crank, said: "I never
jet found in Pittsburg any intention to swindle
liy poolroom proprietors except once. These
people excepted tried once one afternoon and
tailed, because the game was too square.
They skipped out at an hour's notice. How
ever, I confess that I have bet hundreds of
dollars in the poolrooms that I would not nave
bet if no poolrooms had been there. They are
a temptation."
"Would you, in the absence of poolroom,
bet a friend a S10U bill on the street if you
thought you could name the winner of a ball
game?" was asked.
"Most certainly I would, poolrooms or no
poolrooms. I will still bet if I think I can
win."
It's All Bosh.
President Soden was in an unusually jolly
frame of mind when I met him this afternoon.
He bubbled over with merriment when I al
luded to this morning's dispatch from Philadel
phia stating that the League had served notice
upon him that Johnny Ward must not be tam
pered with.
"Bosh!" he exclaimed; "the League has no
more to do with Ward than you have."
"I see that Hewitt is going to Europe to
meet Ward," I said. "Won'tyou or Billings go.
too?"
"Oh, no, I don't believe Hewitt will go, and I
am sure no one of ns will. We do not need to
pull any wires. Ours are pulled; were pulled
lone ago."
"Then there's no news to-day?"
"No. nothing."
Walter Burnham. the father of the new At
lantic League, happened along just then. He
is very sanguine over the prospects of the or
ganization, and says that it will undoubtedly
consiot of Worcester, Lowell. Hartford, New
Haven. Newark. Jersey Citv, Wilkesbarre and
Scranton, though Eastou is trying to get the
last place.

pitch in the cities named. Aeio iTork Herald.
A Sensational Sale.
Lnntoios, Kr, February 14. A sensa
tional private sale was consummated here this
afternoon, when Mr. John E. Madden, of this
city, closed a contract with Jlr. W. H- Bead
ing, of Havana, Cuba, for the 4-year-old trot
ting filly Bosque Bonlta, by Macey's Hamble
touian, at 10.000.
The filly was one of the wonders of the Ken
turkv trotting turf last year. At Paris she
trotted a heat in 22 which is the fastest
mile ever trotted over a half-mile track by a 3-jear-olo.
I.ookins for a. Fight.
Representatives of young Shea, the Wheel
ing bantam pugilist, were in the city last night
trying to arrange a match for a battle between
Shea and Joe Ridge. The latter or his friends
, could not be seen. Tommy Hogan's backers,
bow ever, were on hand and offered to match
H'ican to ficht Shea at 112 pounds, with or
without gloves, under any rules, for $500 a tide.
If a match cannot be made between Ridge and
bhea it is likely that Hogan and Shea wilfmeet.

MYER'S RECEPTION.
How the Western Lieut Weleht Was Re
ceived at Strentor.
Steeatob, III., February 14. The Myer
contingent arrived home from the battlefield
about 5 o'clock this evening. They were met
at the depot by an immense crowd of citizens of
all grades and professions. Myer jumped Into
a hack and was daveu to Kennedy's place, fol
lowed by tho crowd, which pressed In and
around the building. Everybody was anxious
to catch a glance of the champion, for so they
recant him. Billy shook hands with as many as
possible, and soon went to his father's home,
where he spent the evening. Ho shows but lit
tle marks of punishment, and expressed him
self as feeling well, except a little soreness.
Lees sassbewas as fresh at the endot the
fljht as at the beginning, which is corroborated
by otherswho s&v that be chatted and joked
all the way home on the train, showing no signs
of exhaustion whatever.
There is a deep and bitter discontent among
Mver's friends about the decision of the referee
in declaring the fight a draw. The opinion is
unanimous that it was entirely unwarranted
and unjust, and that Myer would assuredly
have won the fight had the contest been per
mitted to go on. Myer.it IS said, intended to
fight a defensive fight, because of the immense
amount of money staked on him by poor
people, who could not afford to lose it. He did
not feel that he ought, to venture in aggressive
tactics, and take the risk of a knock-out blow,
while these interests depended upon him. He
was prepared to fight a hundred rounds if need
dc. ana regulated nimseii accordingly, juyer
said to a friend on the way borne that he in
tended to challenge McAuliffe to a finish fight
through the Sporting Club, of Jban Francisco.
Lees expressed the opinion that McAuliffe
would not meet Myer again under any circum
stances, though there might be a lot of bluster.
The clamor here is all for another meeting.
THEY CANNOT AGREE.
Glasscock
and President Brnth Fail to
Come to Terms.
Indianapolis, February 14. The fact is
verified that Jack Glasscock and President
Brush, of the ball club, cannot agree "on terms
as manager. Glasscock was offered 2,500 as a
player and $1,000 extra to serve as captain and
manager. He wanted $3,500, but insisted that
it should be $3,000 as a player and 500 for man
aging. This would place him in excess of the
$2,500 limit fixed by the League classification,
he being a Class A man, and to this Brush
would not consent. Glasscock is afraid he will
not be a success as a manager, and bence his t
scheme to strengthen bis salary as as a player.
He writes to friends here that the only two
League clubs observing the classification and
salary limit are Indianapolis and Washington.
There continues to be talk that Frank Ban
croft will be selected as manager, but only as a
probability. President Brush reports that the
playing nine will open tho season the same as
last year, and there does net seem much dispo
sition to make any changes save to add Pitcher
Getzein, if he can be had.
A Remarkable Rabbit.
There is a large white male Angora rabbit that
hops about the Rambo House stable yard that
excites considerable attention from the fact
that. Instead of seeking safety upon the ap
pearance of any strange dog in the yard, it at
once becomes pugnacious and attacks the in
truding canine. The rabbit was as timid as
any other representative of its species when it
was placed in the 'yard several months ago to
keep company with a large handsome St, Ber
nard dog that is familiarly known by the name
of Topsy. A friendship sprang up at once be
tween the two, and their daily romps together
surprise everyone visiting the hotel.
The other day a well-known physician en
tered the yard accompanied by a very large
dog. He saw the rabbit and dog at play, and
was greatly surprised and amused to seethe
rabbit catch the dog by the throat and shake it
vigorously. He expressed doubts that the rab
bit would attack his doc in the same manner.
and, upon being assured it would, urged his
dog on. The dog made a spring at the rabbit,
which was on the alert, and secured its favorite
grin upon the dog's throat, where it duns,
midst the howls of the dog, until compelled to
let go its hold. Norrittown Times,
Abont the Bl Battle.
The opinions of the local sports yesterday re
garding the Myers-McAuliffe fight were varied
The general opinion was that the affair had
been honorably carried out. Mike McDonald
being referee seemed to convince everybody
that matters baa been fair. The abilities of
the fighters were criticised, however, and few
people would believe that a battle could last
more than four hours it both men wanted to
win. There were many, however, who spoke
bichlv of the tactics and general pugilistic
abilities of Myers.

Rink, Braddock. last evening, before an audi
ence of about 100. The latter was completely
knocked out. The police attempted to enter
just as the contest had warmed up and a gen
eral scramble to get out ensued, some making
their exit through the roof of the building.

The fact that poolsellers have over and over

when arrested by the police, on the claim that
they acted onlv as common carriers in receiv

Fellows. Yesterday he wrote to the Police
Board: "The purpose then of the poolsellers
in resorting to the fiction of acting as agents
for the would-be bettor, to place' his money at
the race course, is to evade the law by a trick,
and the kind of evidence the police should ob
tain in making these arrests is evidence that
will satisfy reasonable men that the form of
the transaction is a mere trick to evadn the

Colonel Goshen, the late giant of circus
and museum fame, was buried yesterday.
Considerable curiosity was aroused among
his neighbors, and nearly all of them at
tended the funeral. The undertaker had a
number of difficulties to overcome. No
mishap occurred, although one at least was
hopefully anticipated by the spectators.
Colonel Goshen weighed 588 pounds and his
coffin measured eight feet by three, being
too large for any hearse.
rsrXCIAI. TKLXOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
New York, February 14. The funeral
of Colonel Buth Goshen, Barnnm's biggest
giant, who died last Tuesday on his farm,
took place this morning. There was talk of
a big display, but the Rev. James LeFevre,
into whose church Colonel Goshen had been
received since his illness declared that he
wouldn't officiate unless the preparations
were of a simple nature. Besides, Colonel
Goshen himself had wished the ceremony to -be
quiet. His only other wish was to be
buried 'deep. So it was arranged to hold a
quiet service in the farm house.
Undertaker A. V. Van Doren. of Middle-
bush, and a dozen neighbors came early to
the house. Colonel ,Uoshen weizhea oba
pounds, as attested by a merchant who had
weighed him recently, and it was found no
easy task to clothe the body. After half an
hour's .unavailing efforts the undertaker
finally succeeded in bringing tho clothing
together in front ot him by splitting it down
the back. The dress selected was one tarn
iliar to museum goers a long blue coat,
with imitation astrachan collar and cuffs,
black satin waistcoat with brass buttons,
and black broadcloth trousers with red
striped seams.
THE CEOJVD IS ON TIME.
By the time the clothing had been ar
ranged a crowd had gathered ami an under
taker from New Brunswick had come to
'offer advice. The cloth-covered chestnut
coffin, made by a Bowery firm, was placed
outside, on the brick wall leading to the
gate. Its top measurement was 3x8 feet,
and it wouldn't go through the door. The
body lay indoors, on a stage ot planks nine
feet long. Four men, after much labor,
raised the body a little and slipped a broad
carpet sling under the waist, fitted at the
ends with stout poles. The arms were tied
down and the lees were firmly strapped to
gether with a horse's girth in such a way as
to offer handles to two men, one on each
side. The nine-foot stage, with the body on
it, was then carried outside and placed on
the porch, at right angles with the coffin.
Here an interesting discussion arose. The
New Brunswick undertaker wanted to place
the stage over the coffin, lift up the body,
withdraw the planking, and let the body
down into the coffin. Mr. Van Doren had
arranged for eight men to carry the body by
the straps and iron rods to the coffin and
lower it. Each presented his argument, and
the pallbearers and guests who had arrived
gathered round and took part id the dis
cussion. NO MISHAP OCCURS.
Mr. Van Doren finally had his way, and
the body was carried to the coffin and laid in
it without mishap. The Colonel's chestnut
wig was then carefully adjusted over his
kinky hair. An attempt to remove the sling
from under him failed, so the rods were cut
off and the carpet was left in the coffin. Then
the coffin was hoisted upon boxes and left
exposed until after the services.
The people who attended the funeral
seemed to have been prompted by curiosity.
There were no tears, and there was some
subdued merriment at the predicaments
that Undertaker Van Doren found himself
in. at every turn. The Rev. James LeFevre
read the burial service in the house, while
au iuic uunu jucu vu tue iciuiuua uuiaiuc
Colonel Goshen had told him, the minister
said, that in early life he had been a ship
carpenter, and that he had wished many a
time he had never abandoned it for the
show business. Mr. LeFevre added that
Colonel Goshen was born a Hebrew and
died a Christian. Colonel Goshen had told
him he was born in the Isle of Man, and
that almost all the members of his family
were in New Zealand. The only relative
who attended the funeral was Colonel
Goshen's adopted daughter.
THE HEAESE TOO SMALL.
The great coffin was put in the undertak
er's wagon, as the hearse was too small. It
was pushed up to the front, and the driver
sat at one end of it The other end extend
ed about a foot out of the back ot the
wagon. It was a bitterly cold morning, but
a good many people went in carriages and
on foot to Cedar Grove Cemetery, and
watched with expectant interest the lower
ing ot the coffin into the biggest grave any
of them had ever seen, but no accident hap-
pened
Colonel Goshen made a will in favor of
his stepdaughter, Mrs. Henry Sylvester.
William H. Wyckoff tended "him during
his sickness, and Mr. Wyckoff said that
Colonel Goshen gave him a deed for part of
his property, forgave him a debt of $500
and presented him with jewelry. Neigh
bors spent this afternoon searching the Colo
nel's papers to find proof of the statements.
It is said that Mrs. Sylvester may try to re
cover any property Colonel Goshen may
hove given to Mr. Wyckoff.

Continued from First Page.
last fall. "Had certain conditions been
eliminated from the campaign," ho says,
"we wonld have won a decisive victory."
So far as he is individually concerned, he
has no regrets at laying down his trust. He
thinks the defeat of the Democracy is to be
deplored because of tbo injury resulting to
the public interests, but personally he ex
periences a profound sense of relief at the
prospect of speedv release from the ordeal to
which he has been exposed during the past
four years.
The strain has been so great that no man of
less robust health and rugged vitality could
have withstood it. One ot the most trying lea
tares of his position has been that in the dis
charge of hit official duties be has been
called upon so frequently to offend persons
whoso friendship and good opinion he valued.
Mr. Cleveland's sympathies are warm and
easily roused. The insensibility with which he
has so often been accused is a supposed trait of
character which has no existence.
He has often hesitated between personal in
clinations and his sense of what was exacted ol
him by the dignity ef his position, the interests
of the public and his oath of office. He has
had to fleht for the right at almost every step
of his official progress, and he is naturally
tired of the continuous wear and tear of the
contest.
It is an open secret that he accepted the
Democratic nomination last summer with gen
nine reluctance and after earnest efforts to es
cape it. His snDDOsed political aspirations for
the futuro do not exist. There is no rivalry on
his part between himself and anybody else. "I
am in no one's way," he says. "I shall be de
lighted to be relieved of tho cares of the Presi
dency. On the 4th of March next, on nnrelr
personal grounds, there will bo no happier man
in the United States."
CIVII. SERVICE REFOESI.
With reference to the civil service system ho
is as firm and decided as in his views on the
tariff question. (He believes that civil service
reform has come to stay. Ho has treated it
solely as a practical question, and has been
much hampered and embarrassed by the vaga
ries of sentimental reformers and theoristswho
havo been continually urging him to so do this
or that for mere sensational effect which he
did not regard as iudicions. He endeavored to
give the civil service scheme a fair triaLand ex
presses himself as fully satisfied with the re
sults. There may be differences of opinion as to de
tails, but he thinks the examinations are, on
the whole, about the best test of merit that can
be devised. It is certainly far preferable to
the spoils system, and be has no fear that it
will degenerate into a mere bureaucracy. The
worst type of bureaucracy was developed under
uiu spoils HyBLeiu ui furiucr iiuuiiiusiiaiiuus.
AVhan Mr. Cleveland dime into office he found
the department filled with incompetents who
had found a permanent lodgment therethrough
favoritism.
His doubt is whether sufficient clearing has
been done to subserve the best Interests of the
Government and to give a wider scope for civil
service reform, through its methods in filling
tbo places of inefficient men. The President
recognizes fully the feeling of the' great mas3
of Democratic officeseekers, who expected
place and recognition, and the disappointment
and irritation which resulted from his inability
to satisfy them.
SORRY, BUT CAN'T HELP IT.
It is a matter of deep regret to him that he
couiu not ao so, nut no uaa a nigncr puouc
duty to perform, the purification and elevation
of the public service, and tho elimination from
party policies as far as possible of the degrad
ing use of "patronage," an evil which has
grown to gigantic proportions, and was steadily
increasing. He is very.earnest in advocacy of
the civil service systenTas being a thoroughly
practical reform, and in no sense undemo
cratic. He thinks the work of his administration has
fixed this reform as a permanent feature of
government and that no party can afford to an
tagonize it openlv. So far as his own status In
tho party as affected by his attitude in the civil
service Question is concerned, it tnav be said
that he regards himself as a better Democrat
tban many of his critics.
The President is especially gratified at the
effect of bis administration on the prosperity
and happiness of the Southern people, both
black and white. He believes in making no
distinctions between any of -the sections, aud
he deprecates strongly the revival of animosi
ties which were supposed to be dead and
buried. He is satisfied that the race problem
can be worked out by the people of that sec
tion without outside interference.
A UNITED CABINET.
He speaks in terms of grateful appreciation
of the hearty and united support accorded him
by the members of his Cabinet. The adminis
tration, it must be conceded, will go down in
history as unique, in the fact that all its mem
bers have pulled together from beginning to
end, and no personal jealousy or resentments
have marred the harmony of its deliberations.
Every member of It has been . hard working,
energetic and wholly devoted to the public in
terests, and every department presents an
enviable record of important reforms and
economies accomplished, and of substantial re
sults in the effort to promote the public good.
No breath of scandal or taint of corruption
has attached to any branch of the public ser
vice. In view of the jobbery andscheming
that permeated every department of the pub
lic service under former regimes, and which
seemed to have become a permanent feature
of official life in Washington, no more honor
able epitaph could be applied to the admin
istration now drawing to a close than the em
phatic declaration of the President to the
writer, "We have nothing to. hide."
THE SMITH-GREEN MURDER TRIAL
Will bo Finished To-Dny, and Will bo the
Shortest on Record.
rSPr-CTAT. TELIGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Greensbubo, February 14. The testi
mony in the Smith-Green murder trial
closed to-night at 9 o'clock. The murder
trial has been one of the shortest ever held
in this county. It created a good deal of
interest among the inhabitants of Jeannette,
the town in which the murder was commit
ted. In his testimony the defendant stontly
denied the killing. The most damaging
witness against the prisoner was Joseph
Johnston, the owner of the famous shanty
at Jeannette. He testified that he saw
Smith deliberately shoot Green. Oliver
Lemon, the cashier of the First National
Bank of Pittsburg, went on the stand this
evpnint and testified tn tlip trnnA nhn-rvnte
of the defendant. He was in the employ of
Mr. Lemon for a number of vears. and the
latter stated that Smith was a quiet and
peaceable young man.
Ex-Governor Latta, the leading counsel
for the defense, addressed the jury for the
defense, and was followed by District At
torney Ogden. Judge Hunter will deliver
his charge to the jury in the morning. It
is the impression that Smith will be con
victed of murder in the first degree.
A WOMAK'S BRUTAL TREATMENT.
A Husband Assists Two Men to Abuno His
Wifo This Morning.
Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning
Martin Farrell, William Marquis and Frank
Gallagher, of the Eleventh ward, went to
the house of the former, at the corner of
center avenue ana Arthur street, and pro
ceeded to abuse Mrs. Farrell. They
knocked her down, beat her and while lying
on the floor robbed her of $87. .
The officers in the Eleventh ward station
had heard the racket, and rushing over
found the men beating the woman. They
found Gallagher in the act of striking
her as she was lying almost insensE
ble on the floor. Mrs. Farrell's
husband was assisting in the
brutal treatment. The officers arrested the
men and in the hat of Marquis they found
$57, and $10 was stowed away in his under
shirt. The woman's injuries are serious,
but she will recover from the ill-treatment!

No Change In the Situation at Samoa and Every
thing Quiet.
The French Ministry was defeated yester
day in its advocacy of a progressive meas
ure. The Cabinet immediately resigned,
much to the surprise, even, of those who
voted against the measure. General Bou
langer, who had remained passive, at once
issued a manifesto to his constituents, claim
ing all the credit for the defeat of the Gov- j
ernmeut. Latest advices from Samoa say
that everything is juiet there.
Paris, February 14. The French Min
istry was defeated to-day on its proposition
to revise the Constitution, and immedi
ately resigned. The Chamber of Deputies
was crowded. The Prince of Wales and Lord
Lytton, the British Ambassador, occupied
scats in the diplomatic gallery. Baron
Macken, President of the Bight, moved to
adjourn the debate on the revision question
one week. He declared that the Bight de
sired a complete revision as well as the dis
solution of the Chamber. A delay of one week
would enable the Government to decide in re
gard to dissolution.
Premier Floquct refused to entertain the
motion, stating that the Government could not
consent to dissolve tho Chamber.
Baron Macken's motion was rejected 375 to
173.
Count de Douvillo Maillefoue moved the in
definite postponement of the revision debate
and said: '!Thc olectoral period virtually begins
to-day. Let us leave to the people the duty of
indicating what kind of a revision they desire.
Let us not lose time in discussing a question
that is in no wise definite. Instead of pursuing
a policy of egotism let us return to a policy of
common sense."
THE MINISTRY DEFEATED.
Premier Floquct, replying reminded the
House that the Government was pledged to
make the revision proposal the immediate older
of the day after the scrutin d'arrondisscment
Dill. At the conclusion of M. Floquet's re
marks a division was taken and the motion was
adopted by a vote of 307 to 218.
The resignation of the Ministrywas a com
plete suprise to the chamber. M. 'Floquet had
said nothing Implying an intention to make a
motion to adjourn a Cabinet question. Both
the Left and the Right were unaware bow the
Ministry would regard the vote. The majority
included the members of the Right and a
number of Opportunists. After the adjourn
ment the Ra'dical Left and the Extreme Left
held a meeting and sent delegates to' M.
Floquet to express regret at the fall of the
Cabinet and congratulate the retiring Premier
upon the firmness of the position that ho had
assumed.
President Carnot, after the Ministers bad
tendered their resignations,sent for M. Mllline.
the President of the Chamber of Deputies, and
subsequently had a conference with M. Le
rojer. President of the Senate. A rumor was
current this afternoon that M. Malllne had
been asked to form a Cabinet, but to-night it is
stated that President Carnot has as yet in
trusted no one witn tne task.
BOULANGER'S MANIFESTO.
General Boulanger was a passive spectator of
the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies.
Immediately after the adjournment he issued
a manifesto to the electors of the Department
of the Seine. In this he claims credit for his
party for "The overthrow of a discreditable
ministry that was attempting to snare the
country by the comedy of a proposal to revise
the constitution which, if passed by the Cham
ber, the Ministry well knew would be rejected
by the Senate."
He proceeds: "We wonld not allow the
Cabinet thus to deceive universal suf
rage, and to consecrate Its usurpation
by doing the work of a constituent as
sembly. The fall of this Ill-omened Ministry,
which had already planned laws for the restric
tion of liberty, will be a relief to the public con
science. Iris a step further toward the disso
lution of the Chamber and the convocation of
a oonstitnent assembly.
"After the voto ou the scrutin d'arrondissc
ment bill, which, in its authors' minds, was
nothing more tban a blow dealt at universal
suffrage the electoral period commenced. It
Is for the country to speak. Long live the Re
public." THE SAM0AN SITUATION.

other most important amendment strnck out
the word "equally," leaving the expense of
elevation or depression to be decided ac

MANUAL TRAINING
In the Public Schools Is Recommended by
the fetnto Commission. V
rmOM A STAFF COBEISFCWDENT.I
Harbisburg, February 14. The com
mission appointed by the Governor to devise
ways and means of introducing manual
training into the public schools held its
final meeting in this city to-day, adjourn
ing at a late hour to-night. Dr. Atherton,
of the State College, presided. The other
members of the commission are Prof. Luckcy,
of the Pittsburg schools; Dr. Scheaffer, of
Kutztown; Representative Bean, of Norrls
town,and Dr. Adam H. Fetteroff, President of
GIrard College.
Tho commission, before adjourning, put its
plans in the form of a bill, which Mr. Bean
will to-morrow introduce in the House of Rep
resentatives. It provides for the industrial
training of both sexes, but its originators lay
great emphasis on the statement that it does not
provide for the teaching of trades, nor is It
compulsory in its provisions. Special instruct
ors are provided, but It Is designed that In time
the ordinary instructors shall add the teaching
of the manual branches to their present ac
complishments. Nothing is taken away from
the present studies. Tools and machinery will
be required, as it Is intended the pupils shall
learn their use in working in metal and wood.
Domestic economy in ceneral will be taught
the girls, and the implements used in the
kitchen, the sewing room and other things
necessary to the proper education of a young
lady to take her place as a successful house
wife will probably be as common in the schools
as the tools and machinery for the training of
the boys. The amount reaulred to nut the
system Into operation is not stated, and will, in
fact, be dependent on the rapidity whlth which
the system Is adopted. Attention is, however,
called to the fact that the Education Commit
tee of the House this year asks an additional
appropriation for the schools of $500, 000.
