The party -was en gaged in an almost continnal struggle with hostile natives. Many were killed on both sides. Stanley was forced to hang some ol his party as an example to the others. The ranks were further decimated by disease, starvation and desertion. The meeting with Emin Pasha was a most joyful one. LONDON, April 2. The mist of doubt and fear which has clouded the whereabouts and fate of Explorer Stanley has been dispelled, to a great extent, at least TJp to last September the bold adventurer was in the Henry it Stanley, land of the living, al though having passed through countless trials and vicissitudes. The letter received from him gives a complete and interesting, and, at times, thrilling description of his perilous journey between Yambunga and Albert Nyanza. The explorer's Narrative. Mr. Stanley, after stating the orders given by him to Major Barttelot, goes on to de scribe the advance of the columns. The ex pedition, which consisted of 3S9 officers and men, started from Yambunga on June 28, lSSi". On the first day the expedition marched J2 miles along the river bank to Yankarde. On the approach of the column the natives set fire to their Tillages, and under cover of the smoke, attacked the pioneers. A skirmish followed lasting 15 minutes. During the next six days the expedition marched inland in an easterly direction, through a densely populated district The natives used every art known to them to molest and impede the advance of the party, but, although several conflicts took place, Stanley did not lose a man. Finally, per ceiving that the path he had been following was taking him out of his proper conrse, Stanley struck out toward the northeast and again reached the river on July 5. From this date until October 18 he fol lowed the left bank of the Aruwhimi. After 17 days of continuous marching the expedi tion halted for one day's rest The First Death. On August 1 the first death concurred, the cause being dystentary. So far, for 34 days, the course had been singularly successful. The party now entered a wild country, in their nine days' march through. which their sufferings multiplied, and several deaths occurred. On August 13, on arriving at Airsibba, the natives presented a bold front, and the party lost five men from the poisoned arrows, lieutenant Stairs was wounded below the heart. and suffered greatly, but recovered. On August 31 the expedition met a party of Manyemas, and their misfortunes began on this date. Stanley writes that he had taken the Congo route to avoid Arabs who would tempt his men. Within three days of this unfortunate meeting 26 men deserted. What Stanley describes as an awful month begins on September 18. Leaving the station of the Arab Chief TJgarrava, when the expedition numbered 263 men, having lost 66 by desertion and death, and having left 56 sick with TJgarrava, the march led to the Arab settlement Kalings Longa. The men lived on wild fruits, fungi and nuts. Starvation and Desertion. Before reaching Kilinga Longa Stanley lost 55 men through starvation and deser tion. A slave owner at Kilinga Longa, named Abed Salim, did his utmost to ruin the expedition, short of open hostilities. He insisted upon purchasing rifles, ammuni tion and clothing, so that the expedition left the station beggared. The men were absolutely naked, and were so weak that they were unable to carry the boat Stanley was therefore obliged to leave the boat, together with 70 loads of goods, at Kilinga Longa, under the care of Surgeon Parke -and Captain Kelson, the latter of whom was unable to march. After a 12 days journey the party, on Xovamber 12, reached Ibwiri. The Arab devastation, which had readied within a few miles of Ibwiri, was so thor ough that'not a native hut was left standing between TJgarrava and Ibwiri. What the Arabs did not destroy the elephants de stroyed, turning the whole region into a horrible wilderness. Mr. Stanley con tinues. Reduced to Mere Skeletons. Onr sufferings terminated at Ibwiri. We were beyond the reach of destroyers. We were on virgin soil in a populous region abounding with food. We ourselves were mere skeletons. From 2S9 persons we now numbered 171. Several of the party seeming to hive no hope of life left A halt was there fore ordered lor 'the purpose of recuper ating. Hitherto our people were skeptical of what we told them. The suffering had been so awful, the calamities so numerous and the forests so endless, that they refused to believe that by and by we wonld see plains and cattle, the Kjranza and Emln Pacha- They had tnrned v a deaf ear to oar prayers -and entreaties, for, driven by hunger and suffering, they sold their rifles and equipments for a few 'ears of Indian i - 5?

Perceiving that mild punishment would bo of no avail, I resorted to the death penalty, and two of the worst cases were hanged in the presence of at We halted for IS days at Ibwiri. reveling on fowls, goats, bananas, corn, yams, etc The supplies were Inexhaustible, and our people glutted themselves with such effect that we had 173 sleek and robust men. One had been killed with an arrow. When we started for Albert Nyanza, on ,No vember 21, we were still 128 miles from the lake. Given food, the distance seemed nothing. On, December 1 we sighted an open country from the top ot a ridge connected with Mount Pisgah, which was so named from our first view Of the land of promise and plenty. On Decem ber 5 we emerged upon the plains, leaving the deadly and gloomy forest behind us.. Alter 160 days of continuous gloom we saw the light of broad day shining all around, making all things beautiful. We thought we had never seen grass so green or a country so lovely. The men literttrly leaped and yelled with joy and raced over the ground with their burdens. Ah, this was the old spirit of former expeditions, 'successfully completed, and all suddenly revived. The Party Cheerful Again. Woe betide the native aggressor whom we may meet However powerful, with such a spirit the men will fling themselves upot him like wolves on sheep. Numbers will not be considered. It was the eternal forest which had made them the abject slavish creatures so brutally plundered by Arab slaves at Kilon langa Longa. December 8 we entered the country of the powerful Chief Mazamboni. The villages were scattered so thickly that no road except through them could be found. The natives sighted us, but we were prepared. We seized a hill as soon as we arrived in the center of a mass of villages, and built a zareba as fast as bill hooks could cut the brushwood. The war cries were terrible, resounding from hill to hill, and pealing across the intervening valleys. The people gathered in hundreds at every point war horns and drums announcing tho struggle. After a slight skirmish, ending in our capturing a cow, the first beef we had tasted since we left tho ocean, the night passed peacefully, both sides preparing for the morrow. War With a Vengeance. Here Mr. Stanley narrates how negotia tions with the natives failed, Mazembom declining a peace offering, and how a de tachment of 40 persons, led by Lieutenant Stairs, and another of 30, under command of Mr. Jephson, with sharpshooters, left the Zareba and assaulted and carried the villages, driving the natives into a general rout The march was resumed on the 12th. There were constant little fights all along the route. "On the afternoon of the 13th," say3 Mr. Stanley, "we sighted the Nyanza, with Kavalli, the objective point of the ex pedition. Six miles off I had told the men toTprepare to see the Nyanza. They mur mured and doubted, saving 'Why does the master continually talk this way?" Nyanza, indeed. When .they saw the Nyanza below them, many came to kiss my hands." The letter continues: An Enjoyable Prospect. We were now at an altitude of 5,200 feet above the sea, with the Albert Nyanza 2,900 feet below, in loao. the south end of the Nyanza lay about six miles south of this posi tion. Every dent In Its low flat shore was visi ble, and, traced like a silver snake on the dark ground, was the tributary Lanilkl, flowing Into the Albert Nyanza from the southwest After ashore halt to enjoy the prospect we com menced the ragged and stony dercent. Before the rear guard had descended 100 feet the natives from the plateau poured after them, keeping the rear guard busy until within a few hundred feet of the Nyanza plain. We camped at the foot of the plateau wall, the Aneroids reading 2.5U0 feet above sea level. A night at tack was made, bat the sentries sufficed to drive our assailants off, We afterward approached the village ol Kakongo. situated at the southwest, corner of Albert lake. Three hours were spent by us In attempting to make friends," but we signally failed. Tney would not allow us to go to the lake because we might frighten their cattle. They would not exchange the blood of broth erbood because they never heard of any good people coming from the west side of the lake. No Presents Accepted. They would not accept anypresent from us because they did not know who we were. But they would give us water to drink and would show us the road up to Nyam-Sasslc From these singular people we learned that they had heard that there was a white man at. TJnayora, but they had never beard of any white man being on the west side, nor had they ever seen any steamers on the lake. There was no ex cusefor quarreling. The people were civil enough, but they did not want us near them. We therefore were shown the path and fol lowed it for miles. We camped about half a mile from the lake, and then began to consider our position with the light thrown upon it by the conversation with the Kokongo natives. My couriers from Zanzibar had evidently not arrived, or Emin Pasha, with bis two steamers, would have paid the southwest side of the lake a visit to pre pare the natives for onr coming. My boat was at Kilinga Longa, 190 miles distant, and there was no canoe obtainable. To seize a canoe without the excuse of a quarrel my conscience would not permit. There was no tree anywhere of a size sufficient to make canoes. Wadelal was a terrible distance off for an expedition so reduced. We had used five cases of cartridges In five days fighting on the plain. Too Much Fighting. A month of such fighting must exhaust onr stock. There was no plan suggested that was feasible, except to retreat to Ibwiri, build a fort send the party back to Kilinga Longa for a boat, store up every load in the fort not con veyable, leave a garrison in the fort to hold it, march back to Albert Lake and send a boat in search of Emin Pasha. This was the plan which, after lengthy discussions with the officers, I resolved upoD. On the 15th we began a night march, and by 10 o'clock A. u., on the ISth, we had gained the crest of the plateau once more, the Kakonhos natives having persisted in following ns to the slope of the plateau. We bad one man killed and one wounded. On January 7 we were in Ibwiri once again. After a few days' rest Lieutenant Stairs, with 100 men, was sent to Kilonga Longas to bring the boat and goods. I also sent Surgeon Parke and Captain Nelson. - Out of the S3 sick men in their charge only 11 men were brought to" the fort. The rest had died or deserted. On the return of Stairs with the boat and goods he was sent to Ugarrow. He was to brine up the convalescent. Soon after his departure I was attacked by gastritis and an abscess on the arm. After a month's careful nursing by Parke I recovered, and set out again for the Albert Nyanza on April 2, ac companied by Jephson and Parke. Brothers br Blood. Nelson was appointed commandant of Fort Bodo in our absence, with a garrison of 13 men. On April 26 we arrived in Mozambinf s coun try again. This time, after solicitation, Mozam brai decided to make blood brotherhood with me. His example was followed by all the other chiefs as far as the Nyanza. Every dirfi culty seemed now to be removed. Food was supplied gratis. Cattle, goats, sheep and fowls were also given in abundance, so .that our peo ple lived royally. When one days' march from the Nyanza, natives came from Kavlli and said tbat a white man, named Malejja, had given their chief a black packet to give to me, his son. Would I follow them, they asked. "Yes, to-morrow," I answered, "and if your words are true, I will make you rich." They remained with us that night telling us wonderful stories about big ships as large as islands filled with men, etc, which left no doubt in our mind that the white man was Emin Pasha. ' ' The next day's march brought us to Chief Kavili. After a while be handed me a note from Emin Pasha, covered with a strip of black American oilcloth. The note was to the effect that as there had been a native rumor that a white man had been seen at the south end of the lake, he bad gone in a steamer to make in quiries, but had been unable to obtain reliable information. He begged me to remain where I was until he could communicate with me. The next day, April 23, Mr. Jephson was dis patched with a strong force to take the boat to the Nyanza. Emln Pasha's Territory. On the 26th the boat's crew sighted Mawa station, the southernmost belonging to Emln Pasha. Mr. Jephson was there hospitably re ceived by the Egyptian garrison. The boat's crew say that they were embraced one by one, and that they never had such 'attention shown them as by these .men, who bailed them as brothers. On April 26 we once again reached , the bivouac ground occupied by us on Decem mm mu9uima mwmxi ik .Mmi y t r ---. - ri - . r with nrrnntn pac nArnnnATPS nr a. rftntnrr ..n ber 16, and at 5 p. M. of that day 1 saw the Khe dive steamer about seven miles away steaming up toward us. Soon after 7 p. M. Emln Pasba, Signor Casati and Mr. Jephson arrived at our camp, where they were heartily welcomed by all of us. Next day we moved to a better camping place, about three miles above Nyamsassie, and at this spot Emln Pasha also made bis camp. We were together until May 25, when I left him, leaving Mr. Jephson, three Soudanese and two ZanzlEaris in his care. In return he caused to accompany me three of his irregu lars and 102 Madl natives as porters. Fourteen days later I was at Fort Bodo. At the fort were Captain Nelson and Lieuten ant Stairs. The latter had returned from Ugarrowas 22 days after I had set out for the lake, bringing with him, alas! only 16 men out of 58. All the rest were dead. Mv 20 couriers whom I bad sent with letters to Major Battel lot had safely left Ugarrowas for Yambugaon March 16. Raising Indian Corn. Fort Bodo was in a flourishing state. Nearly ten acres were under cultivation. One crop of" Indian corn had been harvested and was in the granaries. On June 16, 1 left Fort Bodo' with 111 Zanzlbaris and 101 of Emin's people Lieu tenant Stairs was appointed commandant of the fort Captain Nelson was Jsecond In com mand, and Surgeon Parke, wis medical officer. Thecarrison consisted M 59 rifles.-Ithus de prived myself of all my tjrficers in order notto be encumbered with baggag; provisions, and medicines. On June 21 we reached Kilonga and on July IS) Ugarrowas. The latter station was de serted. Ugarrowas having gathered as much ivory as he could obtain from the district had proceeded "down ths'river about three months before. On leaving Fort- Bodo I had loaded every carrier withf0 pounds of cojn, so that we were able to pass.througji tho wilderness un scathed. Passing en, down the" river as fast as we could go.daily expecting to meet the couriers who bad been stimulated to exert themselves for a reward of 10 per head, or the Major himself leading an. army of carriers, we in dulged ourselves in pleasing anticipation as we Beared the goat , . On August 10 we overtook Ugarrowas with an immense flotilla of 57 canoes, and, lo our wonder, our couriers, now reduced tolrwho related an awful storv of hairbreadth, .escapes and tragic scenes. Three had been slalnr"two were still feeble from wounds, all except' five bore on their bodies the scars orarrow wounds. Meeting With a White Man. ' A week later, August 17, we met the rear column of the expedition atBunalyea. There was a white man at the gate of the stockade who at first I thought, was Mr. Jamleson. A nearer view revealed the features of Mr. Bonney, who left the medical service of the army accompanying ns. "Well, my dear Bonney, where's the MajorT" I asked. "He is dead, sir; shot by a Manyuema about a month ago," replied Bonney. "Good God," I cried, "And Jamiesonf" "He has cone to Stanley Falls to try to get more men from Tippoo Tib." "And TroupT" "Troup has gone home invalided." 'Well, where is WardT" "Ward is at Bangala." "Heaven alive, then you are the only one here?" "Yes, sir." After describing what a wreck he found the rear column to be, Stanley complains of the officers at Yambuga for readily accept ing the deserters' report of his death and sending his personal kit, medicines, etc, down the Congo, leaving him naked of necessities for his return to Emin. "By ac cident" he says, "two hats and four pair of boots and a flannel jacket were left, a truly African kit with which to return." The letter then proceeds to summarize what had been accomplished. Stanley says: 'We were 160 days in the forest one con tinuous, unbroken, compact forest The grass land was traversed by us in eight days. The limits of the forest along the edge of the grass land are well marked. We saw it extending northeasterly with its curves, bays and capes just like a seashore. Southwesterly It pre served the same character. An Immense Forest. North and south the forest area extends from Nyanglve to the southern borders of the Mon buttu east and west' it embraces all from the Congo, at the mouth ot the Aruwlmi, to about east longitude 29, latitude KP. How tar west beyond the Congo the 'foresV reaches I do not know. The superficial extent' of the tract de scribed as totally covered by forest Is 216,000 square miles. - North of the Congo, between Upoto and Aru wlmi, the forest embraces another 20,000 square miles. Between Yambuga and Nyanza we came across five distinct languages. The land slopes gently from the crest of the plateau about the Nyanza down to the Congo river from an altitude of 5,500 feet to 1,100 feet above the sea. North and south of our track through the grassland the face ot the land was much broken by groups of cones or isolated mountain ridges. To the north we saw no land higher than about 6.000 feet above the sea, but bearing 215 degrees magnetic, at a distance of 0 miles from our camp on the Nyanza, we saw a towering mountain, its sum mit covered with snow, probably 17,000 or 18.000 feet above the sea.. It is called Buevenzorl, and will prove a rival to Kellmaryaro. I am not sure that it may not Srove to be the Gordon Bennett mountain in iambrargara, but there are two reasons for doubting if it be the same. First, it is a little too far west for the position of the latter as given by me in 1S76. Secondly, we saw no snow on the Gordon Bennett. I have met only three natives who have seen the lake toward the south. They agree that it is large, but not so large as the Albert Nyanza. Emln Pasha's Military Force. Before closing let me touch more largely upon the subject which brought me here, viz.: Emln Pasha. He has two battalions of regu lars, tbe first consisting of about 750 rifles, and the second of 640 men. Besides these bat talions he has quite a respectable force ot ir-. regulars, sailors, artisans, clerks and servants. "Altogether," Emin said," if I consent to go away from here, we shall have abont 8,000 peo- pie with us. Were I In your place I would not hesitate a moment, or be for a second In doubt what to do. What you say is quite true. But we have such a large number of women and children probablv 10,000 people altogether. How can they all be brought ut of here? We shall want a number of carriers." "Carriers for what?" I asked. "For the women and children. You surely would not leave them, and they cannot travel." "The women mnst walk. It will do them more good than barm. As for the little chil dren, load them on donkeys. I hear you have about 200. Your people will not travel very far the first month, but little by little they will get accustomed to it. Our Zanzibar women crossed Africa on my second expedition. Why cannot your black women do the same? Have no fear of them: they will do better than' the men. "They would require a vast ajmount of pro visions for the road." Tbe Provision Difficulty. "True; but you have thousands of cattle, I- believe. These will furnish Deer, ana tbe coun tries through which we pass must furnish grain and vegetable food." "Well, we will defer further talk until to morrow." This conversation with the Pasha took place on May 1, 1SSS, during a halt In camp at Nsabe. The Pasba came ashore from the steamer Khe dive next day about 1 v. it. In a short time we commenced our conversation again. Many of the arguments used above were repeated. He said: . . "What you told me yesterday has. led me to think it best we should retire from here. The Egyptians are very willing to leave. There are of those about 100 men besides tbeir women and children. 1 should be glad to be rid of them, because they undermine my authority and nullify all my endeavors for rotreat. When I informed them that Khartoum had fallen and that Gordon Pasha was slain they always told the Nubians that it was a concocted story, and that some day we should see steamers as cend the river for tbeir relief. Butot the regulars I am extremely doubtful. They have led such a free and happy life here that they would demur at leaving a conntry where they have enjoyed luxuries they cannot command in Egypt. The soldiers are married" and sev eral of them have harems." A Very Delicate SItnatton. "Many irregulars wonld also retire and fol low me. Now. supposing the regulars refuse to leave, you can Imagine the position would be a difficult one. Would I be right in leaving them to their fateT Would It not be consign ing them all to their ruin? I should have to leave them their arrns and ammunition, and, on returning, all discipline would be ended. Disputes would arise, factions would bo formed, tbe more ambitions would aspire to be chiefs by force, and from these rivalries wonld spring bate and mutual slaughter until there would be none left." "Supposing you resolve to stay, whatnot the Egyptians?-' I asked. "Oh. these I shall have to ask yon to be good enough to take with you." The Pasha proposed to visit ForfBodo, tak ing Mr. Jephson with him. At Fort Bodo 1 have left instructions to the officer to destroy the fort and accompany the, Pasha to the Nyanza. I hope to meet them all again on tbe Nyanza, as Iintend making a short cut to tbe Nyanza along a new route. . , Henet M.

FLAGS 'OF DISTBESS iPIown 'bjf tho American .Man-of-War Brooklyn 137 Days Coming From Honolulu Under Sail, With Broken machinery Aid From a Britisher. rSPKCXAL TELZOKAM TO THE DISPATCn.l Pensacola, Fla., April 2. Captain Bennett, oi the British steamer Falshaw, which arrived here this morning from Cape Verde, brought the information that he had met the United States man-of-war Brooklyn at sea, in distress and out of provisions. He said it was at noon on Tuesday, March 26, in latitude 230 4? north; longitude 63 37' west; that he observed a vessel about seven miles off his port bow. The stranger was flying flags of- distress and signaling him to come closer. ' Captain Bennett bore down upon the ves sel, which he found. to Tie the United States man-of-war Brooklyn. A boat was lowered from the latter, and Lieutenant Heald, Sur geon Grover Beardsley, and the chief stew ard were rowed to the Englishman. The party, on boarding the latter, explained that the Brooklyn had broken her shaft, and that other machinery was out of order. In addition to this, they were terribly short of provisions, and asked Captain Bennett to assist them.

Mc Connell, one of the most prominent at torneys of Osage county, committed suicide this morning in the Fifth Avenue Hotel by shooting himself. He shot himself through the head. -The suicide is believed to be the result of an escapade in which General Mc Connell figured two months ago. He was caught in the home of James McNames, a well known contractor, at midnight and in a way that reflected seriously on the moral character of the contractor's wife. McNames pursued him to the street and shot him twice id the back. It was thought at the time that he was fatally wounded, but recovered, and has since remained away from bis home. General McConnell has a grown family, and tbe disgrace in which the affair culminated rendered him almost insane. AT LEAST ONE DI8SENTEE.

Jndge Ste venson Burke, who is one of the directors of the Bee Line, declares emphatically that he will oppose the consolidation of the road with the Big Four and the Cairo, Vincennes and Chicago, at the coming meeting on May 15. and adds that if called upon to do so he may take the matter into the courts. Judge Burke has the support of most, if not all, of the stockholders of this neighborhood, and the opposition to the Vanderbilt plans, which oe now makes public, is not new, al though it has been smothered in connection with past meetings. The claims in opposition to the consolida tion are that tbe Bee Line stockholders do not get what they are entitled to in the di vision of stocks; that the Cairo, Vincennes and Chicago is worthless, and that the sys tem will be under the control of "the Big Four.

After a disorderly bat tle with ballots the Democrats won the Mayoralty fight and downed the partisans of Yerkes and the bosses who have engineered his schemes. It can hardly be regarded as a party victory. In St Louis the municipal muddle was" mixed, but a Democratic Mayor was landed. tSPZCIAL TZLEQKAH TO TBE DISPATCH.l Chicago, April 2. The municipal elec tion here to-day resulted in tbe complete overthrow of the Republican machine, its. candidate for Mayor, John A. Boche, being defeated by, DeWitt C. Creiger, by 12,000 majority. The rest of the Bepnbllcan ticket was also defeated. The- Council will be Democratic. The election was the most disorderly in tne history of the city, he"machine spend ing its money right and left, and being the direct cause of all the brawls in the-dive districts ot the city. In one fight Congress man Frank Lawler was hit on the head withaclnb. In the Eighteenth ward the street fighting was so incessant that the po lice were worn out with their efforts to pre serve thc peace. Up to midnight there had been five murders. The downtown streets to-night are choked with howling Democrats, who are burning fireworks and blowing hornB. MTJEDEBED BY A HEELER. Edward Waller, a prominent citizen of the Nineteenth ward, was one of the men murderously assaulted at the polls. He was denouncing the Bepublican machine in se vere language, when Paddy Halpin, a .ma chine heeler, knocked Waller down - and then kicked him in the head and breast until he. was unconscious. The officers at the polls made no effort to stop the assault, and the hoodlum escaped, leaving his vic tim in the'gutter. Mr. Waller was taken to his home by an expressman. It is thought that he will die. The "Social Six" ball at Uhlich's Hall had just broken up this morning when John C. Lutdgens, who stood outside on the pave ment, began to talk politics to some of the revelers. Then a dispute arose about the beauty of a woman.

Frank Collier, who was so- brutally slugged by Bepublican heelers two weeks age, won $8,000 on the election. Collier voted tbe straight Democratic ticket for the first time in his life. To-night he hired a band of music and marched in front of the Desplaines street station, where the musi cians played tbe "Bognes' March." Captain Aldrich came ,o'nt and demanded the cause of the serenade.. , Collier walked to the head of the column -and said: "I'll bet yon $500 1 will have your Scalp in 30 days." Then the musicians marched away, amid loud cheer ing. Concerning the causes of the landslide the Daily Nevis will say: The street car employes stood like a rock In the Cregier phalanx. Antipathy to Yerkes was the. reason that partyism was for once for gotten. When the full oxtent of tbe landslide toward Cregier became known last night tbe ex. pressions around tbe bulletin boards were sng gestive. They fell from tbe lips of Republicans as well as Democrats.

"We're done with Yerkes." It was a great day for rapid . transit. The iVeicjadds editorially: Part of tho Republican defeat was due to a popular uprising against the despicable at tempts of the machine bosses to prevent free expression of preferences at the primaries. The Inter-Ocean says: Notwithstanding the result, Chicago is still a Republican city upon a strictly party vote. Mayor Roche was the victim of a series of un toward circumstances and conditions which were beyond his control. A LiaUOB YIGTORY. The St. Louts Slnm Candidate for Mayor Elected by 1,000 Majority AOIlxed Up Mess, In Which the Dem ocrats Came Ont Ahead. ISPEMAI. TELEOnAM TO THE DISPATCH.l St. Louis, April 2. After a campaign unparalleled in local annals for bitterness and personality, the battle of ballots was fought to-day. The situation presented some unique features. There were bolters from each convention, and tbe Republi cans bolted into the Democratic camp, and the Demdcrats virtually into the Bepubli can camp. George W. Allen, the present Democratic Mayor, was conceded a month ago to have a walkover for the nomination. Mr. Allen succeeded D. B. Francis, when the latter was elected Governor. Mr. Al len 'cultivated the bosses, and in a short time had the Democratic machine' at his back. Judge E. A Noonan, who four years ago ran a dead heat in the Democratic Conven vention with C. C. Bainwater, was Mr. Allen's only opponent He was until Sat urday the Jndge of the Court of Criminal Correction, and while in that office made himself particularly solid with the liquor element. He declared the Sunday-closing law unconstitutional," and was heralded as the champion of personal freedom, He was opposed by the Republic and denounced as the slum candidate. After a' desperate fight, Noonan, to the great surprise of the whole city, carried the city and was nominated by acclamation by the Democratic convention. Allen's friends were paralyzed and disgusted, when some of them organized the holt. The local Bepublican party has for years been divided into the Filiey faction, or hoodlums, and the Globe-Democratio fac tion, or silk stockings. The strongest can didate before the Bepublican convention was Captain D. P. Slattery, a wealthy elevator man. Boodle, however, got its work in, and, to the amazement of Slat tery and his friends, he was dumped and Colonel J. G. Butler was a candidate without a' flaw.. Beturns complete from thewhole city give Noonan, Democrat 1,626 plurality. The Democrats also ' elect Brown, Auditor. Ziegenhein, Republican, for Collector, and Stevenson, Bepublican, for Controller, got in bv small pluralities'.'

IFEOK ASTAry COEnESrOSDEXT.l HAEEisnuBO, April 2. C. L. Magee will be here to-morrow, according to an nouncement, and his friends expect him .to make it snow for the opposition between now and Friday. The opposition, how ever, is not losing any sleep, and knows just where it stands. It also points witl) some pride to the fact that the Allegheny county delegation is likely to be split in the middle on the question. Mr. Magee's friends are working hard for the Democratic vote, and claim to have it almost solid. On the other hand, the Dem ocrats, many of them, have bills on the calendar that depend on Bepublican favor, and these are looking cautiously aDoutthemr before committing themselves to the man who is not in power. The bill that Mr. Magee's friends have been showing about the House is not the bill as it passed the Senate. The main in tent, however, remains the same. As it stands it provides that a street railway may be leased with the consent of a majority of its stock. James McManes and David H. Lane are to be here to-morrow or Thursday. There was some talk that they would be with Magee, but it is stated on authority that they are against him and against his bill. They are coming in the interest of Mr. Fletcher's electric light incorporation bill, under which" their steam heating company can also do business, as it covers companies supplying light, heat or power by electricity or other means. This bill was defeated last week, but was reconsidered and temporarily postponed. It is not stretching a point to say its reconsideration is in some measure the price of their support Against Magee. Mr. Lafferty's motion to place Mr. Magee's bill on the calendar will come up Friday morning, but before that time the street railway incorporation bill, previously nega tived, will be favorably reported from com mittee, and this- is expected to take much of the wind ont of Mr. Magee's sails.

A startling incident occurred at the Arch Street Thea ter, during Marie Frescott's performance of "Ingomar," last night, which illustrates in a forcible manner the pathetie side of stage life. While Miss Prescott was in her dress ing room, preparing for the next act, a tele gram was handed her. It was only a line, but it caused the actress to grow pale and almost fall to the floor. It was from her home, and simply announced the death of her son, a yonng man of 16, who had been the idol of her heart. Before she had recov ered from the shock the call boy came to announce the act By a powerful effort she roused herself, and with a heroism that would have done credit to a Spartan mother, went on the stage to continue the entertain ment for the benefit of the waiting audi ence. The most dramatic part of ihe event, how ever, was yet to come. Just as the actress, In her part of Parthenia says to Ingomar: "I will never see thee more," she fell sense less and prostrate at his feet. It was some moments before the audience realized the situation. Some thought it was in the play, but they were soon undeceived. Several sympathetic spectator, grasping the state ofthings,""(cried: "Lower the curtain." This was done,' and restoratives were applied to the actress. In les3 than ten minutes the play was resumed, the star sustaining her diffiqult part rendered still more difficult under the circumstances with heroism that called forth unstinted praise. After the performance she was removed to her hotel in a coupe. DE. M'COSH NO W0ESE. The Venerable Head of Princeton is Very III, bnt Not Beyond Hope. rSPZCIAT.

At a late hour to-night he was resting com fortably, and Dr. WikofT entertains no doubt as to his recovery. Dr. McCosh left Princeton about two months ago for an ex tended lecturing tour in the West, and about two weeks ago, while at Delaware, O., he was suddenly stricken with an attack of bronchitis. Though in poor condition to travel, he was anxious to reach home, and set out from Delaware immediately, arriving in Princeton two weeks ago to-day. His illness increased during the journey home, and on his arrival here his condition was serious. Dr WikofT says, however, that the report that he was suffering from pneumonia is untrue. He has had no at tack of that kind. There was a rumor in town to-day that Dr. McCosh had had a re lapse, but this is pronounced untrue by his attending physician. MAET ANDEES0N IN SECLUSION.

'jj A TEMPOBABY E1M1NB IMMINENT. 9 :9B Ihe All Important Ileetfng Held Yesterday at tle Eeystone Hotel. Pittsburg and Allegheny milk dealers wanted to run a trust They will be run by one. Their voice in the matter is silenced. The festive farmer scores the point. Milk that has been sold to dealers at10 and 11 cents a gallon, will now draw 13, or go to the creamery. The dealers "pay their money and take their choice." It is a great surprise all around. The Milk Producers Union of Western Pennsylvania, which comprises 411 dairy farmers of the seven counties surrounding" and adjoining Pittsburg, constitutes a com bination or trust that was formed yester day, which will be likely to knock the business of Pittsburg's independent milk dealers sky-high, unless they, coma to the terms of the trust The scheme is one of the largest deals that has been made lately in Western Pennsylvania, for its immedi ate results will affect every household In these two cities. Moreover, it is a marvel ous surprize to all local dealers, who had figured that they were to reap the benefit of whatever trust might be formed. The scheme is simply this: From this day week all the milk which is produced. by the farmers who ship their product into this city will be sent tb the Chartiers Creamery Company, which will act as an agent of each individual milk shipper. In other words, the 20,000 or 30,000 gallons of milk that are now sent into Pittsburg and Alle gheny daily, and at the different Tailroads taken charge of by various local milk dealers, will in the future all be shipped to one man, who virtually commands the; en tire milk trade of tbe two cities. - OUE EEPOBTEB "WAS THZBB. The agreement between the Executive Committee of the Milk Producers' Associa tion and Mr. Frank C. Beed, President of the Chartiers Creamery Company, was drawn up and execnted yesterday afternoon, at a meeting held in the Keystone Hotel on Fourth avenue. A Dispatch reporter was Invited by Dr. Irwin, of Evans City, Butler county, Chairman of the meeting, and was present while the discussion was going on. ,In the agreement the. creamery company stipulates that all the producers of the as-' soeiation, numbering about 411 members, will ship to the company their entire pro duct at 12 cents a gallon in the summer and 18 cents a gallon in the winter. The cream- . ;erj company then proposes to supply all the . wholesale milk dealersy grocers and bakers, . and by this means the farmers hope' to get a fair price for the milk, without being sub jected to the whims and fancies of the middlemen. Dr. Irwin, President of the Producers, while speaking of the plan agreed upon with Mr. Beed, said yesterday : THE PEESIDENT SPEAKS. "We have been trying onr best to get .the milk dealers to make some amicable ar rangement with us, which would allow us a fair profit But they simply laughed 'at us. Last Tuesday afternoon we met a com mittee, but as ve could not agree, we ad journed to meet again to-day, and what has been the resnlt? Not one of them was here at all to-day. So we had to find" other means of getting our rights, and X think we have accomplished it. "The result of our agreement with the Chartiers Creamery Company is that the middleman is knocked out of the business, and it serves him right. Just let me tell you: We are now selling our milk to tho dealer at 11 cents per gallon; but the con sumer is paying all the way from 24 to 33 cents per gallon for it In other words, the) dealer takes over 100 per cent for selling an article which we sell him for less than his profit is." "How will your agreement be of benefit to the public at large?" "In many ways. First of all. there is a clause in the agreement compelling Mr. Beed to sell none other but good, fresh milk. All the surplus milk which he gets he will J& turn into his creamery establishments in A w asumgum county, ana tnere convert tne milk into butter. That is a great advantage to the consumer, because he will get pure milk and not half water: NO CHANCE FOE GOUGING. "Then again, the milk dealer, in getting his milk from Mr. Beed, will have to pay for every gallon he gets, and will not be able to come and bring him half of it back." "Mr. Beed, President of the Chartiers Creamery Company, said to The Dis patch reporter: "We will take care that no surplus of milk will get into town to be sold to the consumer. That is where the people have suffered so much. A man who buys a lot of milk to-day. and cannot sell it directly, will try and seH.it tbe next day. Now, milk 13 not fit for use after it is Several- days old, and our company, therefore, takes all the surplus milk that comes into the city and ships it to our cream ery factories, we have three bf them in Washington, large enough to handle 30,000 gallons of milk. 'The public has been imposed upon by un principled dealers, who have sold to tho con sumer skimmed milk instead of the purs product We mean to have every gallon of milk tested by our own employes as soon as it comes Into the city, in order to assure its quality to be perfect. In such a condition we will furnish it to the milk dealer, and if any consumer comes to us and furnishes us with conclusive evidence that his dealer has sold him skimmed milk, we will not supply that dealer any more, and he will have to go out of the business. NO MORE IMPOSITIONS. "You see our object! The farmers want to prevent the middlemen from imposing upon the people and. reaping a large profit, and I. as the farmers agent W"I prevent such a thing. "The farmers have no idea of raising tbe price'of milk to tbe consumer; that is totally wrong; bnt they are opposed to having the dealer make the profit alone. Now the farmer sends bis milk to the dealer, who first skims off the cream and then sells the milk too. It is no wonder that some of them are getting rich!" How the dealers will take to this scheme of the producers is hard telling. The likeli- ' hood is that they will resist and try to buy their milk somewhere else. Unfortunately for tbe dealer, however, all the producers in the surrounding counties are In this union, which appoints the Chartiers Creamery Company its agent There are only two sta tions .in Ohio where the farmers do not be-' long to it and the freight on the milk from there wonld be too large to give the dealers ' a competing chance. - - t From what could be learned among the farmers at the meeting, it is very likely that for a few days next week, there will be a milk famine in this city, because no dealer will like to pay 13 cents for a gallon, of milk to the Chartiers Creamerv Comnahr when they have only paid lOandll'cenUi?'
