Tens of thous- ands of a remarkable anarchistic pamphlet have been printed, calling for a" monster meeting of Anarchists in this city next Sunday. In order to delay publicity as lone as possible, the printing was done in New York. There has been no farther attempt at cecrecy, and the contents of the document are now in your correspondent's possession. It is interest ing, as showing that, at least among those of that nationality which gives the Anarchist movement whatever strength and persistence it possesses as well as the greater number of it adherents the revo lutionary sentiment is still espoused. BOUND TO BE AVENGED. - The circular demonstrates also just how the execution of the Chicago Anarchists is regarded, and that their fate is discussed to make new capital for the sup porters of the war against society. No name is signed to the pamphlet. It is printed in English for wide distribution elsewhere than here in the name of the Progressive Workingmen's Associa tion, but it claims to be signed by ''The Committee on Agitation of the Inter national Workingmen's Association." The , pretext on which it is to be circulated here is that It is a call for a meeting next Snn-d-iy in the Central Arbeiter Hall, and in a that shape it will be circulated all over the W country. , ". ITS DEATHLIKE DESIGN. The little book contains eight pages, and is bordered in deep mourning, made to represent two gallows frames joined. It is dedicated (and the Anarchist uprising is called) "In Memoriam of the Martyrs of the Working People, Mur dered at Chicago on November 11, 18S7." It is addressed to the working people, and it recites that five men suffered "a crime such as history has never wit nessed. Not even a shadow of evidence was produced to show that they had violated those barbarous laws society puts forth in justification of their judicial misdeeds. An uuknown, who, in common with a great many others, suffered an attack on the 4th of My, 1886, at the hands of an assassin band of 200 policemen, hurled a bomb in self-de'ense. THET CAM, IT LEGITIMATE. This action of legitimate resistance was avenged, not on the individual whose identity up to the present date has re gained a mystery, but it served as a pre pense to destroy the best, the most 'intelh 4genfr and self-sacrificing councilors ot the l, "working people of Chicago." The pamphlet goes on to ask what the workers have done to save their councilors, w and it answers "nothing, or next to nothing. "t The courage of manhood was needed; in stead they collected money." Then follows ithis frank declaration: THE MIGHT HAVE BEEN. I, '"A daring deed would have frustrated Ithe November crime; instead the workinc ppeople passed resolutions. How different it might have been if those who participated in rms Kina oi demonstration had made a told front, as the urgency ot the situation "demanded." Tft The circular then concludes by calling on , ; the Anarchists, Socialists, trade unionists, ' 'Knights of Labor,Turners,free thinkers and citizensto seize the opportunity offered on Novemberll,at the corner of ElmandThird , streets, to divide good ana evil into two camps and to rally under the standard of social revolution.

Bloodshed at the University of Pennsyl vania Ton Sophomores Try to Do Up the Freshmen and Both Sides Suffer 3Ieny Expulsions to Follow. rsrzciiL teligrak to tub disfatcih Philadelphia, November L The rpmnd.vear medipnl fttndents a the Uni versity of Pennsylvania this afternoon re ceived the worst drubbing cyaJfresnman class ever known in the history of the institution. As Prof. Keichert'a class in physiology were taking their places in his lecture room, some enterprising Sophomores, eager to pick a quarrel with the Freshmen, espied one of that class seated on one of the benches which are re served by custom to the second and third ye.ir students. With a class yell the second year men at tempted to pass the offending stndent to his proper place, which is behind the fourth row; but his classmates came to the rescue, and then occurred one of the bloodiest fights in the history of the college. Coats, hats and neckties were torn asunder, many went to the floor under the weight of Freshmen pressing from above, and cries for help were heard away oat in the street. Prof. Keichert, coming in, attempted to rescue the suffo cating men, bnt to no purpose. He was pushed and jostled about until he was glad to escape with nothing more than a large rent in his coat. In one comer two strapping youths were fighting on their own hook, and the Freshman- having the upper side, soon landed his rival over the seat. The fight lasted for more than 15 minutes, and was stopped, by the intervention of the professors and the third-year men, who came at the call of Prof. Keichert. When the room became cleared it was found thai one of the second year men had his head split and nose broken, and was unconscious. Others were nursing bloody noses and blackened eves. Prof. Keichert said: "I will appeal to the faculty to have the unruly students disciplined, as the second-year men are entirely wrong." The Freshmen are sullen and refuse to say anything, but vow that hereatter they will occupy any seat in thelecture room, whether second-year men are willing or not. A DAY OF THANKS. President Harrison lssnes His First Procla mation of That Nntore The Things for Which the People Should Retain Gratitude. Washington, November 1. The fol lowing proclamation, setting apart Thurs day, November 28, as a day of National Thanksgiving, was issued late this afternoon: By the President of the -United States: A PROCLAMATION. A highly favored people, mindful ot their dependence on the bounty of Divine Provi dence, should seek fitting occasion to testify tb eir gratitude and ascribe praise to Him wb o is the author of their many blessings. It be hooves us tnen to look back with thankful hearts over the past year and bless Uod for his infinite merry in vouchsafing to our land en daring peace, to onr people freedom from pestilence and famine, to our husbandmen abundant harvests, and to them that labor a recompense of their toil. Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison. Presi dent of the United States of America, dn earn estly recommend that Thursday, the 28th day of this present month of November, be set apart as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, and that the people or onr country, ceasing from the cares and labors of tbelr working day, shall assemble in their respective S laces of worship and give thanks to God. who as prospered us on our way and made our paths the paths or peace: Deseechinc him to bless the day to our present and future Rood, making it truly one ot thanksgiving for each re united home circle as for the nation at large. In witness thereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

THUIOllAM TO thx JISPATCH.l Philadelphia, November 1. William Henry Cresson, the defaulting cashier of the Tradesmen's National Bank of Consho hocken, has not yet been found, nor has a penny of the stolen money been located, although a thorough search of his house and vicinity has been made. The general feeling expressed by the bank directors is that the nashier is in Canada, but 'Squire Hay ward, who issued the warrant for his arrest, says unhesitatingly that he believes that Cresson has not left Conshohocken at all, and intimates that he thinks Cresson is not the only guilty person connected with the bank. Until a late hour to-night United States Examiner James and Cashier Sluigluff, of the Montgomery National Bank or Norris town, worked diligently on the books of the fugitive, which they found to be in a muddled condition. At the close ot their examination they found that the defalcation reached nearly 90,000. Cresson's mode of operation was the usual one of making false entries in the ledger. His daily accounts sheet was also found to be crooked. He was in the habit of recording hundreds of dollirs less than the regular deposits for the day. 10 FEDERATION FQft THEM. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Now Ncnrly Ready to Adjonrn. Denveb, November 1. The locomotive engineers to-day refused to adopt articles of federation. The plan presented to the con vention is understood to be the same as pre sented the convention at Atlanta. Upon the suggestion of Chief Arthur the convention appointed a commi ttee oi five with instructions to prepare a new proposition of federation which shall be presented to each division of the Brotherhood for their acceptance or rejec tion. Every lodge adopting this new plan will be permitted to form a federation with any labor organization namedJ in the ar ticle, such federation to stand only until finally acted upon by the next annual meeting at Pittsburg. As Mr. Arthur will have the appoint ment of this committee, it is believed be will name men who oppose the federa tion, and who will do little to bring about its final adoption. The convention has yet to audit a few claims against the charity fund, make some amendments in the insur ance rules, receive the report of the Commit tee on Constitution and By-laws,- whon it will be rendy to adjourn, WILL SOON BE STATES. Tike President's Proclamation Upon the Subject Is Now NenrlyJlendy. Washington, November 4. The proc lamation admitting the new States into the Union, which has been under consideration this week by the President, Secretary Blaine and Attorney General Miller, was submitted to the Cabinet regular meeting to-day. It is understood that the document met with the approval ofthe members, and it is the understanding that it will be issned as soon as it is formally prepared at the State Department.

A WHOLESOME FEAR OF THE LAW Prevents Many ofthe Employes From Pay in? Their Assessments. THE TIRQINIA PEOPLE SCARED AWAI. Driers Had bees Glren to Arrest Them If, They Bad Appeared on the Scene. Yesterday was pay day in the departments as Washington, but the different State Re publican campaign committees found it a very poor day to collect, too many standing in fear of the Civil Service Commission and its threatened prosecutions. ISrECIAI.TXXZaBAX TO thi dispatch. ' Washington, November 1. This was pay day in the departments, and the several representatives of the State campaign com mittees, who are here to receive "voluntary contributions" from Government employes, expected to reap a rich harvest to send home. Representatives of the Ohio Republican State Committee expected to hive been able to have collected at least 5200 to-day, from Ohio cle'rks and employes in the several Departments, had they not been interfered with by the Civil Service Commission. It is understood that representatives of the commission called on the officers of tne several State Republican associations, and notified them that if any of their committees or agents at tempted to solicit campaign assessments from any one connected with the Govern ment, either in or out ofthe departments, the commission would prosecute both the solicitor and contributor. It is said that many of the clerks refused to contribute what they had promised, giving as an excuse the fear of the Civil Service Commission. Notwithstanding the alleged activity of the Civil Service Com mission, however, the Indiana Republicans bave issued a call for to-morrow evening, for the purpose of organizing an Indiana Republican Association. The call concludes as follows: All Indiana Repeblicans, particularly those recently appointed to positions in the depart ments of the Government, are urgently re quested to be present at this meeting and be come members, as a complete organization is desired, preparatory to aiding the State Cen tral Committee for effective campaign work. Evidently the Hoosiers understand just how sincere President Harrison feels with regard to enforcing the civil service law. The 'Michigan Clnb had a similar meeting last night, and nearly all the Republican associations that were ordered out of exist ence by order No. 1 of Rutherford B. Hayes are falling into line again. The threats of the Civil Service Commis sioners to arrest anyone found soliciting money in tbe Government departments for campaign purposes had its effect, and the Virginia committee did not show up to-day, as they promised. The watchmen in the Government buildings were under orders to arrest them if the attempt was made to col lect moneys. BACK IN PUBLIC LIFE. The Wheels of the Political Mill Restore a Man Once Disgraced. RTXCIAt. TXLZQKAK TO XRX DISPATCH.! Washington, November 1. Among the appointments made by Marshal Rans dell, of the District of Columbia, to-day, was one which recalls the escape of Captain Howgate, formerly disbursing clerk of the Signal Bureau and acting chief signal officer. Howgate had been indicted, and was in jail on a charge of embezzling Gov ernment funds. One day,accompanied by a deputy marshal and a detective, Captain Howgate left the. jail to go to his residence and arrange certain papers. The Captain declared that he must take a bath and change his linen. The deputy marshal and detective agreed. Becoming alarmed, there was a rapid movement up stairs, a hurried inspection of bath and bedrooms, but there were no traces of How gate, and he has been missing from that day to this. Owing to the escape of Howgate, the de tective was dismissed from the police force, bnt the deputy marshal remained until the advent of the Cleveland administration, when he, too, fell by the official guillotine because of his Republican politics. Now, that his party is again in power, the deputy of the Howgate episode, whose name is Doing, applied for reinstatement, and Mar shal Ransdell has restored him to public life. FLEEOEDJjT GAMS. A Wealthy Englishman and Cuban Taken in and Done for by Niagara Falls Sharks How the Game is Conducted at the Big Waterfall. rSFECIAl TELIOUAM TO TOT DISPATCH.1 Lockpoet, N. Y., November 1. An Englishman and a wealthy Cuban, stopping at Niagara Falls this week, have made complaint that they bad been robbed of large sums of money by gam bling in some of the numerous dives at tbe Falls and along the avenue be tween that village and Suspension bridge. An investigation followed, but the gang in Tom Ward's place, one of the finest and flyest, had flown, presumably to New Tork. There are a large number of gambling dens at the Falls, furnished in a princely manner. Aneyiteep spoiiera m .new xorg, who make it a point to catch on to any party of distinguished for eigners who are traveling privately, and make their acquaintance.

The victims, however, have been disinclined to give the games away, not wishing to publicly disgrace themselves. The Englishman and the Cuban gentleman were prominent and wealthy. The Cuban lost f750 and the Englishman over 250 be fore they bad enough. They were in Tom Ward's place. When the police raided it last night there was not a vestige of the splendor left. It is thought that the police were in col lusion with the gamblers, as they have been cognizant of the work that has been going on for some time past. The hotel men said they had nothing to do with the den. Hit by a Cable Car. A valuable horse owned by Lawrence Hnffnagle was struck by a cable car while being led along Butler street yesterday.

They have had sick leave jluryig the year, but no regular leave, and now they find when this decision is followed if they go home their pay is stopped. The Interior Department, however, pays no attention to this decision, which was made in response to an inquiry from the Secretary of the Treasury. The rule there is that each employe is entitled to a recular annual leave of 30 days. If he should happen to be sick during any time in the year the absence is not charged to the regular leave, but a separate account is kept. As a rule, 30 days are allowed for sick leave, but of course exceptions are made in deserving cases. IT COSTS TOO MUCH. Few Pennsylvanlans In Washington Coming Home to Tote-Chalrmnn Andrews' Ap peal Falls on Deaf Ears No Cash to Tempt Them to Come. fSPECIAI. TELZOBAU TO TOT DISPATCH.1 Washington, November 1. While the Ohio and Virginia employes of the depart ments seem generally disposed to go home to vote, that is. not the case with Pennsylva nians. Save those who live in the Southern or Eastern counties, few will leave their work to save the State. A circular from Chairman Andrews, of the Pennsylvania State Committee, was received by all Pennsylvania employes in the de partment, earnestly arguing that it is their duty to go home en- masse to the Old Key stone State, to help make the Republican majority as large as possible, that the tariff lesson of 1888 may not appear to have lost its effect Chairman Andrews was entirely impartial in his distribution of the circu lars, as he sent it to scores of Democrats who are yet in the service, and many of whom will remain there under the laws gov erning the civil service. These were much amused at the earnest prayer of the Chair man, but generally concluded they would not go home to vote either the Republican or the Democratic ticket If free transportation had been famished, probably nearly all of the Republicans would have gone home; but to those who live north and west of the central counties the cost of voting wonld be about ?25 in railroad fare, loss of salary and incidental expenses. Of course, the officials oi higher rank will all go home. Commissioner Hol liday, of the Bureau $f Customs, left this evening. From Pittsburg, to-morrow morn ing, he will run out to Little Washington, to visit a daughter who is at tbe seminary there, and on Monday he will reach his Erie home. A TWO-EDGED SWOED. Ohio Satooa Keepers, Oat In a Declaration for the Democratic Nominees. rSriCLAL TZUOBAU TO THE DIBP ATCH.l Cincinnati, November 1. To-day the State Liqnor Dealers'' Association sent broadcast throughout the State a circular begging all saloonists and their employes to vote the -Democratic-State and Legislative tickets, in order that their business and their liberty might not be further impaired and their families made to suffer. Demo cratic managers this morning claimed it would add 15,000 votes to their State ticket and give them the Legislature. To-night the feeling is the other way, and a vigorous effort will be made to hedge, in order not to lose the anti-saloon vote. Late to-night George Robinson, one ofthe leading and wealthiest Democrats of the State, and a member of the Whisky Trust, caused the lollowing statement to appear: The distillers of this city are not contribu ting to the Democratic campaign fond. This circular is the work of foolish brewers and Democratic saloon keepers. M. Hobart, the treasurer of the trust, also authorizes the statement that the trust had not given a cent to the Democratic cam paign fund, neither had it anything to do with the circnlar,which he considers, ill timed, ill-advised andnicidal. FINALLY ACCEPTED. The First Iron Crnlser Built Upon tbe Pacific Coast Pronounced 8atlsfac ton by tho i ' Government Some Penalties Are to be Dedacted. Washington, November 1. Secretary Tracy to-day formally accepted the pro tected cruiser Charleston, built by tbe Union Iron Works Company, of San Fran cisco, upon the showing made in her test some weeks ago. The report of the Trial Board, while saying ' that the vessel had been built according to con tract, contained some ambiguity of expressions which the. Secretary desired to have made plain before acting finally. The report was, therefore, returned and the board reconvened to attend it The revised report was received atthe Department yes terday and being conclusive and satisfac tory, the acceptance of the vessel was or dered. On the test of the Charleston, she failed to show tbe horsepower required by the con tract by 330, which would impose a penalty of $33,000. The boiler capacity of the ves sel was not reached by the machinery, and the constructors asked for another trial, in dicating that slight changes in the gear would be made, but the department con cluded not to permit a second trial to take place. Whether or not under this condition of things the Government.can enforce the pay ment of the penalty is a question that will have to be decided when the qnestion of final settlement is under consideration. There is a penalty .against the vessel of $4,500 for delay in completion. The con tract price of the Charleston was $1,017,000, and tne contractors nave been paid $824,875.

Theodore Thomas and Bis Orchestra Fall Below Their Mark. A SPLENDID AUDIENCE THEEE, Bnt Old City Hall Did Not Ee-Echo. or Even Echo, With Applause. A PROGRAMME AFFORDING HO FEAST. Aa Orcatitratlon That Has Been Excelled by Eren the Lesser Mnsiciins. Entertaining as Theodore Thomas and his orchestra always are, they fell below their own standard in Pittsburg last night. Their audience was large enough and good enough to have appreciated better music, as well more artistic effort in the rendering thereof. A criticism follows. The audience was the great feature of the Thomas conaert at Old City Hall last night. It sat in close rows, knee to back, all the way from stage to door (several rows too many for safe passage way); it stood numerously along the back wall, and even crowded the seldom-used cock-loft of a gallery. Half again .as many seats could have been sold at the same prices, had there been room, so large was the de mand. It was a great audience for quality, too; the usual concert-goers and the fashion able world turned out en masse, and there were many unwonted faces busy, serious minded men that have not time nor mind for ordinary amusements. Some o'er-noisy encore fiends were there, but the set-back they received early in the evening left the bulk of the listeners free to express their sentiments in discreet and not overly en thusiastic fashion. APPLAUSE IN MODERATION. Indeed it was rather surprising, in view of the brilliance of the occasion and the ex traordinary manner in which the "popular" sentiment had been worked up, that the applause was so moderate. Maybe the listeners, as the evening wore on, were a bit ashamed of the programme they had chosen if, indeed, it was tbe ticket holders that cast the 740 votes said to have been given for programme No. 2, out of the 940 votes said to have been received. More likely, however, they felt a lack of enthusiasm, without knowing ex actly why; unconscious tlurt a programme arranged upon sound artistic principles is calculated to please even the musically un educated listener better than a haphazard conglomeration of so-called "popular" pieces. The latter kind of programme was what was given last night; behold it: THIS PROGRAMME. Overture, Tannhaeuser" Wagner Andante from fifth symphony Beethoven ITsntasle on Hungarian Airs. Lifzt Sir.

Mr. Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore has, done likewise. And both of them have fdeased the people more than was apparent ast night. From the name and jame of Mr. Theodore Thomas, the people expect something different, even though tbey may not know just exactly what it ought to be. TTNFIT FOR A. FEAST. Many people like fried sausage and often have it, even for dinner. But when one of them steps in off tbe Paris boulevard to sample the cuisine of the Cafe Biche, he wants to order something else. Suppose the waiter cannot speak English and the perplexed traveler wanders through the to him unmeaning names of the French dishes be would so much like if he only knew it, until at last he comes to a familiar word sausage. jNine to one ne oraers sausage, eats it with some pretense of pleas ure, pays bis bill and goes out hungry, or at least dissatisfied. It is pretty much the same thing to sub mil to a plebiscite three musical pro grammes, one of which is made up almost wholly of familiar names, while the others have few if any such. The conclusion is foregone. It is a cast of loaded dice. The people cnoose the familiar names simply be cause tney cum t Know tne otners. Then when "they find that the anticipated feast is, after all, only fried, sausage with a few extra trimmings, they are disappointed and go off with a vague sense of dissatisfac tion. And when the layman feels thus, how must the connoisseur feel I GOOD SEASON FOB IT. The justice of viewing the programme in this lieht and at this lencth. must be an- parent to anyone who stops to think that tne name ot aneoaore 'xnomas is Honored throughout this country as the synonym for a high standard of art It is most distinctly because of his wise, persistent and largely successiul efforts to elevate the public taste, that this present "testimonial" tour com mands, in advance, the exceedingly cordial support it is receiving on every hand. It would not be inappropriate, under all the circumstances, to invite the public in some way to express preference among composi tions that might be brought into artistic balance and proportion. But in loading one of the dice so heavily, the fine. Mahi avelian hand of canny Manager Blakely has over-reached itself to the extent of giving the layman no choice, and the musician no chance complete satisfaction to neither. NOT TTP TO THE STANDARD. It is hardly needlul to treat the orchestral performance in any great detail. There is, of course, much pleasure in listening to any thing played by such a body of men under such a leader. Comparisons are 'unavoid able, however, and it must be confessed that Pittsburg has heard better performances before under Mr. Thomas' own baton, as also nnder Mr. Seidl and Mr. Gericke. The men showe'd a tendency to lapse now and then into a perfunctory manner of playing ; especially the strings. Beethoven's Andante and the "Fraeumerei" suffered from this tendency. The wood-wind did particularly good ser vice in the trying Berlioz score, with ita flickering, fantastic figures for piccolo, flute and oboe. Indeed, the whole band did itself especial credit through the profanely entitled piece. Mr. Thomas and his men seemed to share the opinion of many that it was the most inter esting part of their evening's task. The 'Tell" overture, of course, went well; it always does- Mr. Herbert's part in it was quite as grateful and effective as in the Volkman serenade. Mr. Oes terle's Ante tones seemed, if anything, too rich and fall in the running variations to the pretty pastoral of the oboe. Following Von Buelow's example in choosing a Strauss waltz for the programme, Mr. Thomas also showed that he had pat care ful study and drill upon it, making it by no means the least finished performance of tbe evening. NOT ENXIBELT INDICATIVE. It is a pity that Mr. Joseffy, who lias not, played here for a number of years, did net giye ua somethinjrof a more serious charac ter. They say he has bees galaing in breadth of ' conception and emotional strength in that period. No one eesM well deteraiae ? mltut ? f. !

But Mr. Joseffy played it so admirably that he can readily be pardoned; there was a pretty dash of sentiment in his Interpreta tion, and tbe filmy, pearly delicacy' of its flowing figures could hardly have been bet ter brought out AT THE OTHER EXTREME he was found wanting a powerful, ringing robnst fortissimo seemed beyond his grasp. In that drastic, rhythmic leading of the Fantasie, when first presented by tbe piano alone in broad chords, the deficiency in power was especially noticeable. So also in the military march; the tone was dry and short, without resonance. Maybe the piano was doctored up to strike what a pugilist might call a "short arm blow;" Mr. Joseffy has been accused of thus in creasing his nimble and dainty effects at the expense of strength and sonorousness. In almost all other respects his playing approached the limits of pianistic skill, Marvelously clean and rapid runs, single and in thirds; a rarely crisp staccato, alter nating with a fluent legato; a limpid tone under absolute control, and a brilliance and certainty of executing tbe most florid pass age work these all marked Mr. Joseffy's playing as upon a high plane of virtuosity. A. GRACEFUL RECOGNITION. The addition of Mr. Wilczek's name to the programme was a graceful recognition of that gifted young man's all too brief connection with Pittsburg musi cal circles, even though he could not fairly be expected to rival the matured art of the .other soloists. In the suave and grateful measures of the Beetho ven romance, the young violinist, kept well within the bounds ot reverence so much so as to limit the breadth and freedom that shonld charac terize it It was Quite otherwise with the sarasate piece. In its plaintively luscious introduction as ia tbe brilliant, rollicking tune that follows, Mr. Wilczek was master of his instrument, his score and himself, and won an outburst of applause only sec ond to that vouchsafed to Mr. Joseffy. O. W. S. ABMT DESEBTIWS. General Howard Deplores Their Increase and Suggests Some Kerae-fles Griev ances to be Redressed and Pun ishment to be Certain. Washington, November 1. In his an nual report General Howard, ia speaking ot the subject of desertions, says: For the past four years the percentage of desertions in our army has increased from 8 to 12 per cent, and this, despite earnest efforts made to discover tbe causes and apply tbe remedies. Doubtless the causes are many, such as have been theoretically and variously stated. It is scarcely pos sible to so adjust the workings of a military institution, necessarily autocratic, that each and levery subordinate shall feel that its ethics and conduct are Identi cal with those that govern in civil life. That desertlonsi can evex.be practically eliminated from, tbe army without- seriously impairing its efficiency I doubt, but this crime can and should be greatly reduced. It is my belief that in the majority oi rases the reasons which cause men to desert are frivolous, and are as varied as the different temperaments of the deserters. Were apprehension and punishment made as certain lor this, offense as for petty crimes in civil life, none bat Serious reasons would cause men to commit anact.'.the result of which re sults in a most certain penal servitude. As it is. the chances of punishment are altogether too few. I repeat my foimer recommendation for an increase in the reward offered for the apprehension of deserters, and a change in the law which will enable at least all civil officers of tbe Government, States and Terri tories to arrest and confine this class .of offenders. -To remove all real cause of dis content, shorten tbe first term ot enlistment to two or three years and institute some system by which men In emergency may sever their connectionrwitlLlfce service without- dishonor to themselves and. -with justice to.tbe Govern ment. It might Tie well to Improve the ratios increase, or at least give it more variety though l beUeve,-in the ma'.n. that onr soldiers are well fed and that so serious discontent arises from insufficiency or poorness of food. General Howard joins General Crook, in recommending that the infantry arm of the service be reorganized by giving the regi ments three battalions of four companies each. He recommends also that the present rifle for infantry and cavalry be exchanged for a magazine gun. The proposed reorgan ization of the-artillery-branch of the army as a special corps; General Howard says, presents fatal objections, as it "would ag gravate the already abnormal condition of onr military administration and. duly add another bureau to the War Department aad transfer tbe artillery, like the staff, from the command of the general officers of the army, to that of a staff officer in Washington." NOT THE BENDEBS. Tne Effort to Identify the Saspeeta la Kan sas Nora Complete Success Tko Peo ple Believe- That the Family. Are ;AH Bead. Oswego, ELan., November 1. Deputy Sheriff Dick, who arrested Mrs. Alraira Griffith, of Niles, Mich., and Mrs. Elfsa Davis, of Lansing, Mich., on the sappesi tion that they are two of tbe noted Bender family, arrived here this morn ing' with Hhe prisoners. They were met at the station by Prosecu ting Attorney Morris, who plaeed them in a carriage and had them conveyed to a pri vate residence, the location of which he will reveal Uf no one. There they were kept all day and no one was permitted to see them, not evea the reporters or persoaa who had come to town to see if they- could identify the prisoners. One man, Mr. Morris said, was taken to see them, but he would not say who he wae. He did say, however, that the man had known the Benders and that he had fsiled to identify the prisoners as old Mrs. Bender and Kate. When he knew the Benders 15 years ago, the' old woman could speak only Germaa. Mrs. Griffith, who is supposed to be the old woman, speaks perfect English witheat a hint at accent, Kate Beader, he told Mr. Morris, bore no resemblance whatever to Mm. Tlavia. There is no excitement whatever here over, the arrival of the prisoners, xhe people are convinced that the vigilantes who, 15 years ago, started oat to avenge the Beader murders, did their work well, aad that bo Bember of the family is now alive. Foroer acquaintances will be taken to see the pris oners to-morrow, in the endeavor to identify them. The preliminary examiaatkia has been set for Monday.

Leeds, the Philadelphia Eepnbli- , can boss, is not inclined to accept too grace fully the defeat of his aaibitioa to be post-'- , master of the City of Brotherly Love. At v least, he does not intend to be tamed down altogether by the administration. He has held some kind of aa office for many years, and fails to see the point in being" left oat ia the cold just as the Sepubllcan party has come to the front with a new lease of life. ', Leeds' long and active service ia Phila delphia politics has givea him a pall on several of tbe big men in the party, and he intends to use that pall now. He has already' ; commenced operations, his base of supplies -at present being Bepresentative Charles O'NeilL "Charlie" has been a number of Congress for 29, years, with the exception of. one term. He is nominated evert two teabs by the ward bosses of his district, chief among whom is William E. Leeds, whore- ,., semblea Mr. O'Neill in this, that he has held a public office nearly all hir lite. Leeds is the principal hoes of O'Neill'a dis- ' trict, and is known to centre! all the acts of the Congressman. . Leeds has held several lacrative political places in Philadelphia, and a short time ago was nominated by the Bepahlicans for Sheriff, but, notwithstanding the fact that Philadelpnia isSepublicaa by about 201,000, he was defeated by a large majority. When the present administration was launched, Leeds induced Senators Camera a aad Quay, to take him up for a Federal office, aad be was presented for appointment aa postmaster. Wanamaker knocked him oat by appoint ing field, which left Mr- Leeds adrift. ' Finding that there was no-chance for a Federal appointment, Leeds called apoa ' Mr. O'Neill, insisting that ' " something should be done ' for him, and directed O'Neill to come ia Washington and see Cameron, with a view -of having the Senator set np the Pennsyl vania delegation for Leeds for Sergeant-at-Arms ofthe House of KeDreseatatives. In s Mmnlltn.. with Ilia a!ac IVTCeifl 4ma nere last week aad had a conference with? '"' Senator Cameron. The Senator cad not - , take kindly to the suggestion. He thought - that Leeds woald not be acceptable to the ' delegation or to the members of the Hbase, and in any event he did net feel that itv would be proper for Aire to interfere-with f the organization of the House. -t- O'Neill insisted that semethiag should be. done for "Poor Bill." ''X have him oa my " hands." said O'Neill. "The administra- ' tion has done nothing for kjm, and I must take care of him in seme way." The Seaa-r tor did not see how he coald assist in the , matter, bat informed O'Neill tht he would-&k -think it over. " CAUtffiT ON TI JILT.
