As a write, I am pain fully reminded of the above lines from Kingsley's beautiful poem of the "Three Fishers." The men who go down in shifts and the miners entombed alive, meet a hor rible fate, but the awful suspense of the fisherman's wife during a storm is the same agony that the women are enduring here to day. The miners have not jet been rescued, dead or alive. "If ire don't reach them on this shift," said Peter "Wise, encouragingly, this even ing, "we hope to meet with them to-morrow morning. The prospects are more favorable than ever. The solid coal has been struck, and it only remains to be cnt through." A Hundred Feet at 8 O'clock. From the men who came out at 8 o'clock it was learned that about 100 feet of coal re mains to be cut before the ill-fated Farm Hill mice is reached -and where the men, if alive, are snpposed to be. Bo many conflict ing rumors are afloat about sounds that have been heard from the en tombed men that the majority of people do not believe that any signs were ever given. The miners who work at the face insist that no signals of the buried men were heard by the .rescuing party, though Inspector Evans ssys that too many reliable conservative miners claim to have beard the sounds to make him discredit the report. If the men are not smothered or crushed un der heavy falls, it is not unreasonable to suppose that they are still living. The same old scenes were enacted about the pit mouth of the Mahoning mine. The beautiful girl waiting longingly for a glimps of her imprisoned lover still kept up her faithful vigiL Another man sat beside her on the seat under the bushes and talked with her while she tried to eat her simple lunch. Three anxious mothers with their little flocks playing at their feet leaned against the dividing fence and eagerly list ened for any word of hope. The same crowd occupied their places on the high bank of dirt overlooking the mine, where they watched the pit-mouth and waited to spread the joyful news as soon as rescue was made. Idle persons, attracted by enriosity, pressed as close to the police lines as they dared. Plenty f Bran Men. Inside the lines all was bustle and activity. Miners were getting ready to enter the pit on another shift. As they entered the mouth they were given a safety lamp. There was no lack of men. As their names were called out they stepped up and were ready to go to work. Young Bigley, a brother of tvo of the im prisoned men, insisted on going down. Peter "Wise advised bim not to go, and finally Inspector Evans said to him: ".Now, my boy, I lost a wife and four children in the Johnstown flood. I know what it is to feel the loss of a friend, and I remember that other people could do more in the work of rescue than I could. Don't go. Go back borne," and then young Bigley turned away saddened and willing to wait results. The general feeling to-night is that the men will soon be rescued. Some thoaght that by 2 o'clock they would be reached and it wouldn't be later than 10 o'clock in the morning. This afternoon the men were catting through at the rate of five feet an hour and up to 2 o'clock had removed 39 feet One old room was struck and that was so mnch gained. The rescuing party hope to strike others and everyone will aid them. Not Snre of tbe Direction. Every now and then the horrible thought flashes across the minds of the men, "What if we should not be on right track?" It is barely possible they are following the course of the coal. The mine is well sup plied with maps, and the inspectors and tbe most intelligent miners feel snre they are pursuing the proper direc tion. Ralph Yardiy, one of the men working at the face who came out 8 o'clock this evening said: ".We can't tell how soon we will reach the men. We are making good progress and that is all that can be said at present. I don't think 4they will be rescued before to-morrow if then." On the shift last night S6 men went down. This is 16 more than worked before in one ,ang. Everybody Jeels coufideot that some thing will turn op before many hours elapse. 'ThVpeonle are becoming very nervous. "I t'op" said Inspector Evans, "that we ret "tiUm to-night, for if we do we can properly 1 care for them. It will be simply impossible to keep back the crowd to-morrow." Another Explosion Possible. Some of the men are afraid that when they cut through there may be another ex plosion, and the rescuing party may be de stroyed. "These men are taking their lives in their hands," remarked a miner. "They can't tell what minute we may have to turn in to rescue the Tescuers," and yet these brave fellows grit their teeth and go to work 4,000 feet under the earth with a strong determination to reach their buried brethren. A tent has been erected for the doctors and to meet all emergencies, nearby to the eating house where meals are served by the company to the men. Alexander Bomesburg, another face miner, made the following statement: "I feel sure the men will be rescued not later than 1 o'clock to-morrow. Are they alive? I don't know. The trapper boy, John Devanney, is dead. I saw his body last Monday on the slope. I recognized him but found I could not get him out without pulling his head off. Th'e party concluded when we were sure he was dead to press on farther and see if we couldn't get out some of the living. When we came back the current of air had changed and it was impossible to get at young Devanny. The chances are that his body has been burned by this time on the slope. We never heard any sounds from imprisoned men and I don't believe any body else did." No Answer Received. At 1 o'clock this afternoon the shift made three taps and scratched the coal with picks, which is the miners' universal signal of distress It was kept up for 10 minutes, but no answer was received. This incident dis couraged tbe men very much, and those who were'nearly exhausted from hard work, con cluded that their imprisoned fellows must be dead. Late this afternoon Manager Haxzard telegraphed to Samuel Dickson, one of the owners of the mine who lives in Philadel phia, that the progress of the work was so discouraging that he had abandoned all hope of reaching the men alive, and then he added that there would be no immediate loss to the property. This fact only shows that the owners are looking after pecuniary features, though it mnst be said they are doing what they can to prosecute the work of rescue. A little incident that shows the pulse of the people occurred this afternoon. A tem perance meeting was to have been held in the Methodist Church to morrow evening. The orator for the occasion wished to announce that it was postponed. With his Prince Albert closely buttoned he mounted the platform in front oi a store and beckoned to the peo ple to draw nearer. The crowd took him for a patent medicine fakir and a miner boldly announced they Didn't Want Any Nonsense, in the town at this time. The orator, how ever, soon explained, and the meeting was postponed for a week. The preachers in the various churches to-morrow are expected to make some allusions to the disaster, and it is whispered that some of them will rake the company for carelessness.' The tired reporters will have to crawl out of their couches pretty early -to-raorrow, but then they only get about lour hours sleep per day anyhow. So far but one case of exhaustion has oc curred. John Jenkins, while working at the face yesterday morning fainted away from exhaustion, and was carried from the mine. He had worked several turns and had refused to be relieved. Dr. J. P. Walker, who attended him, thought he would die, but to-day he is rallying somewhat and will live. Many of the men are in the same danger as Jenkins, as they are unwilling to quit work and are wearing themselves out. Mrs. John Hays, whose husband is in the mine, has been presented with the house she occupies by Captain J. M. Hustead, man ager of the store of the fnrnace company. Hays had purchased the prop erty from Hustead, and was paving for it out of his monthly wages. At his death there was considerable balance due, bnt the captain generously overlooked this snm. This and many other kindnesses showed the bereaved lamilies goes to lighten their great sorrow. Mrs. Hayes' health is seriously impaired. Grave doubts have been expressed as to whether she will ever fully recover ber reason. Talk About Sails. It is stated that suits for damage will be entered against the Dunbar Furnace Com pany if it is proven the explosion was caused bv lack of ventilation. Inspector Keighley, in bis report of May 19, said the ventilation in the mine was very bad. Vice President Turner, of the United Mine Workers, was at the Hill Farm mine to-day making, investigations and trying to ascertain the trne cause of the calamity. Peter Wise, another official of the United Mine Worker, is also'at Dunbar making investigations and assisting in tbe search for the imprisoned miners. The great interest manifested by the Knights of Labor and other like organiza tions In the fate of the Dunbar miners is due to the fact that every miner is a member of tbe order in excellent standing. If it is proven that the mines were not in fit condition prior to the explosion, the or ganization will defray the expense of suits for the widows against the owners. Tho Midnight Situation. At 12 o'clock to-night a miner came out from the face of the mine. They have now been working in solid coal lor some time, and it is squeezing and bumping to such an extent that the rescuing party think they will cut through in a few hours. They believe that the en tombed miners are not more than 150 feet away from where the opening will be made. It is' believed a few hours will have to be consumed in removing "gob" and (alien slate from the other side, and to get the air in circulation All arrangements have been made to send four men through the opening and to keep three men at it The othtrs will be arranged along the cut. Those at the pit mouth are in a leverish state. They are carrying out their blankets and getting in readiness, as if they expected to reach the men at once. lSBAEL. C0BBI2J WILL EESIGK. A. A.

Spirited Opposition Between Rival Linen Runnlna Between Cincinnati and Louis ville A Tight Toll Down the Stream and Bock A stain, SPECIAL TELiORAM TO THB DISPATCH. Cincinnati, June 21. A week ago the new sidewheel steamer New South began raising a merry war in the Old North by leaving here at 9 A. M.,reschingLouisyilIe, 150 miles south, at 5 p. II., making but one stop, and returning reaching here at 6 A. M. on following morning, and all for $2, includ ing meals and berth. This morning the United States Mail Line people placed the stately and swilt Fleetwood, the finest boat In the' upper Ohio, in the same trade. Sev eral thousand people saw the boats off. The Fleetwood swung out at 8:50, holding in close and scraping the New South's side. The latter backed out just ten minutes later. Then began the fiercest race the Ohio has known lor a quarter of a century. Both boats were held in for several miles until the coal harbors were passed, the New Sonth gaining slowly. At Aurora, Ind., the Fleetwood was 1 minute and 55 seconds ahead. At Bising Sun the one minute was lost At Vevay, Ind., the New Sonth was five minutes behind. At Patriot, Ind., the New South overtook and started to pass tbe Fleetwood, when the latter ran her nose into the New South's bow, and swinging in, held her fast for 40 miles. The two big racers ran this way at their utmost speed o Madison, Ind., the only landing advertised to be made. As the., boats rounded in the Fleetwood was signaled. There was no business for her and she ran ahead, while the New South landed in for 50 passengers. The New South then started after the Fleetwood like a grayhound and landed in Louisville only five minutes behind. Thousands cheered both vessels at Louis ville, and both shores of the riverwere lined with spectators the whole way down. At 5:30 the boats started back, and are now racing up stream like the night wind. JJon fires are blazing at every landing. The New Sonth telegraphs she will arrive at 6 A. H. The Fleetwood people say her nose will smell the fog here half an hour sooner. Scores of old river men are at the landing to remain all night, tell yarns and see the rivals in. At midnicht information was received that the Fleetwood bad again run into the New South, and disabled her so as she had to pat ashore, unable to proceed. REVOLUTION InIvJEXICO. A PREMONITORY UPRISING IN THE STATE OF GUANAJUANTO. Almost Certain That President DInz Will Proclnim Himself Dictntor Within a Year A GenernI Feeling of Uneasiness Tyranny Over Ihe Press. Citt of Mexico, June 21. Information is given of an uprising in the State of Guan ajuanto, which is believed to be the begin ning of a general revolutionary movement of which there hav been repeated warnings for some time past.. As the telegraphs are under Goverinent control and censorship it is impossible to get details by wire, and some days must elapse before facts can be obtained. There are signs of uneasiness in Government circles and tbe general feeling is that a crisis is imminent The tyranny of the Government is daily becoming heavier and it is almost certain that within a year Diaz will proclaim bim-J self Dictator. Only revolution can prevent such a disaster to the Bepublic. This may come quickly if the movement in Guana jaunto shows the strength expected. If it is pat down successfully by the Government then the day of general resistance will be postponed. Business is dull, and a reaction has set in against tbe buoyancy created by credit The latter is exhausted, and the inevitable is at hand. This state of things increases the restlessness. There is no freedom of the Eress. Not only are publishers and editors eld responsible, but even the printers who set up an article reflecting on the condition ot affairs may be sent to prison. Therefore, one need not look to Mexican papers for in formation. Guanajnanto is a sparsely settled country, and is rich in mines. EVERYBODY SATISFIED.

TELEPBAM TO TUB DISPATCIt.l New Yoek, June 2L John Tyfe and Mary Simpson, of the village ol Castlebougb, County Tyrone, Ireland, were engaged to be married 20 years ago when John enlisted in an English regiment and went to fight the Afghans. He afterward went to Africa and it was years before he returned to Ire land and married Mary. They came to this country and settled in Baltimore. Tyfe ob tained work in a sucar refinery and later became assistant engineer in the Hotel Lafayette. There he met Annie Malloy, a pretty waitress, and eloped with her. They came to this city last week. Tyfe wrote to friends in Baltimore to send his 6-year-old son to him. His wile was in formed, and came on here and had her hus band arrested. In the Tombs Police Court to-day, Mrs. Tyfe's violent indignation was soothed in a moment by John's assurance that be loved ber still and wanted to be for given. Annie Malloy said she did not mind. Mrs. Tyfe did not hesitate to forgive, and Justice Gorman dismissed the com plaint on John's promise that he would be a faithful husband. FALSIFIED TEE BANK'S STATEMENT. E. II. Ton Hoeaeo Found Guilty of Perjury on One Count. Toledo, June 21. The United States District Court, Judge Bix presiding, has been for several days engaged in tbe trial of E. H.Van Hoesen, late cashier of the Toledo National Bank, on a charge of perjury, the alleged offense being the making oath in the official statements of the bank state ment, to figures be knew to be false. The case was really one of embezzlement, Van Hoesen having since 1884 been engaged in systematically robbing the bank and covering up his peculations by falsification of his accounts. His assistant cashier, John McKee, pleaded guilty at the last term of court to a charge of ialsitving tbe books in connection-with the embezzlement, and is now serving a five-year term in tbe Ohio Penitentiary. The total amount of Van Hoesen's pecula tions was $72,500. Van Hoesen was indict ed for embezzlement on 20 counts and for perjury on three counts. The latter cause was tried first, as being 'easier to test the merits ol the- legal case against Van Hoesen. The jury was out nearly six hours and then returned ''a verdict ot guilty on the first count and not guilty on the other two. A motion for a new trial was at once made, which will be argued on June 30. A CITY TKkTtKtrkT. WASTED. Jacksonville Offers a Reword for Mayor McQould's Assailant. Jacksonville, Fla., June 21.

ALL INSTRUCTED FOE WALLACE Bv a Secret Ballot of Which tha Opposition Knew Nothing. THE CLANS M0TING ON THE CAPITAL Eesnlts of Teslerdays Primary Contests Held Thronchont tbe State. The Lycoming Democratic convention was nearly tbe scene'Vt a riot yesterday. The delegates were instructed for Wallace on a secret ballot, in which only politicians ot that persuasion voted. The Pattison peo ple raised a row, but were unable to change the result KPECIAI. TELIGRAU TO THB DISPATCH.! Williamspobt, June 21. The Demo cratic Standing Committee of Lycoming county met this afternoon in the Court House, and held a lively convention for del egates to the State Convention. On the first ballot Hon. E. P. Allen, Hon. W. W. Hart, H. R. Mehling, W. C. Gilmore,-W. M. Wright and W. J. Stewart were elected delegates, and instructed for Wallace for Governor. Wallace had 40 votes for instructions, and Pattison only 3. This announcement brought Mr. Edwards, of the Third ward, to his ieet He declared that the Chairman, when the balloting be gan, said it was for theelection of delegates, and that not a word was said aboutdnstruc tions, the impression being that tbe voting for instructions would be done after the dele gates were elected. Mr. Edwards made a violent speech, de nouncing what he termed the underhand methods employed with the delegates, who, he declared, were given slips of paper bear ing Wallace's name and told to vote them, whereas the Pattison men, in the absence of any utterance from the chair to tbe effect that the vote would be on instructions as well as for delegates, did not vote instruc tions. Mr. Edwards was called to order, but paid nn attention to the Cbairman,declar mg that the voting had been done unfairly, and the Pattison men outwitted by a con temptible trick. Sheriff Marshall was called in and took hold ot Mr. Edwards. Order was restored, and Mr. Hart in a vig orous speech defended the Chair, and said tbe delegates who voted for Wallace knew what they were doing. Mr. Edwards moved to reconsider the vote so lar as in structions were concerned. J. S. Crauner, of South Williamsport, 'seconded the motion, which was pnt and voted down. Mr. Edwards presented the following reso lution, which was adopted. Resolved, That it is tbe sense of this meeting that U rover Cleveland, tbe man of tbe people. Is entitled to our warmest commendation and the united support of every true Democrat for bis manly and fearless advocacy of the princi ples of true Democracy. There was an impression early in the week that the workingmen of Williamsport and the farmers ot Lycoming county were sufficiently interested in Bobert E. Pattison to warrant the expectation that out of 59 election districts he would receive more than three votes. This impression seems to have been premature. M0NTQ0MEHY FOB PATTISON.. Tbe Primaries Remit Largely In Favor of tbe Ex-Governor. SPECIAL TELIOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. I Nobbistown, June 2L The Demo cratic delegate elections in this borough this evening resulted decidedly to the advantage of ex-Governor Pattison. .There were con tests in nearly al1 of the ten wards, and in the Second three sets of delegates were voted for. In the First ward, where resides Hiram P. Beerer, a Wallace candidate for State delegate, the local delegates were conceded. In the Fifth ward several candidates lor State delegate reside, and the delegates elected are said to be for Wallace. In tbe Sixth ward Samuel Mooney, a Wallace man, was elected, but the delegates were positively instructed for Pattison. As near as can now be ascertained, the 22 delegates from this borough will stand in Tuesday's convention about as follows: Pattison, 15; Wallace, 7. The delegates elected are as follows: First ward, Charles O'Neill, Michael Murray; Second ward, George Mathner, Benjamin Beilly; Third ward, Charles Powers, Jesse B. Davis, Beinhart Moeschlin; Fourth ward, John Froufield, E. L. P. Beifsnyder; Filth ward, John Cassidv, John Troy, John O'Neil; Sixth ward, John Fry, "Samuel Mooney, Jr.; Seventh ward, Frank Boop, George Neiman; Eighth ward, Wm. Bick ins, Andrew Hart; Ninth ward, George W. Bush, Joseph Grady; Tenth ward, John Beard,' Jr., Theodore Gratz. No reports can be obtained from the country districts, which, however, are said to lean toward Pattison. THE GRANGERS OUT TS T0RCE. Pattison Delegates Elected In Clarion by a Practically Unanimous Yote. IgrZCIAL TELEOBAM TO.THE DI8PATCII.1 Claeion, June 21. The Democratic pri maries held in Clarion county to-day were intensely exciting, and the results at mid night are still so much in doubt that it is impossible to make estimates. From the expected results and the surprises it is reas onably certain that George F. Cribbs has carried the county over W. W. Greenland tor Congress. In 18 average districts Kribbs has 1,185 to Greenland's 463 of the vote that will be counted in the convention. Senator J. H. Wilson has also probably carried tbe county over Hon. A. M. Neely for Senate. The Legislature is muddled, the possibility being that Dr. H. N. Hessis is safe, and the chances for the other member between Kribbs, Brinker and Smiley in the order named. The great contest was on Prothono tary, and William A. Sipler almost cer tainly carries the county over ex-Sherifl L M. Shannon. Pattison delegates have been elected by an almost unnanimous vote, and the con vention will instruct for the ex-Governor on Monday with a grand hurrah, as thegranger element has been out in force to-day.

A Great Crowd Expected to Arrive Yerf Shortly, However Chairman Andrew Not Tet Upon tbe Ground A lack of Accommodations. 'SPECIAL TELEORAK TO THB DI8PATCB.1 Habbisbubg, June 21. There is noth ing to indicate the meeting of the Eepubli can State Convention but the arrival of a lew delegates on the lookout for accommo dations, and the display about tbe hotels of a good picture of General Hastings on a small card, which contains the announce ment of tbe General's candidacy for Gover nor, and sets forth that he is a "patriotic youth, an ardent teacher, a skilled attorney, a polished orator, an able militia man, a faithful public servant and the hero of Johnstown." Senator Delamater's friends have not yet begun the pictorial business, but they are expected to exhibit his attractive physiog nomy, and proclaim his public virtues on paper in time to give all the delegates an opportunity to feast on them. The support ers of Secretary Stone and Major Montooth are not so numerous as those of Hastings and Delamater, but they will see that their favorites are as well advertised as the other candidates for Governor. Chairman Andrews was expected here to day to attend to some of the preliminaries of tbe convention and look after Delamater's chances, but he failed to appear, because his presence was entirely unnecessary in view of the fact that there was no material here to work on. The convention promises to be notable in the number of people it will at tract to this city and tbe hot contest that will likely be waged by the several candi dates for Governor. The attendance is ex pected to exceed that drawn by any conven tion since the nomination of Hoyt for Gov ernor. Delegates from distant points will begin arriving for business to-morrow, and on Monday night and Tuesday political clubs from Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Bellefonte, Lancaster, Meadville, Wilkesbarre, York, Huntingdon and Beading will make their appearance. The hotels will be unable to accommodate the people who will be here next Tuesday and Wednesday, and parties willing to furnish lodgings are requested to send cards, giving the number of persons they can accommodate, to the headquarters of Chairman Andrews, at the Lochiel Hotel. FARMERS IN POLITICS. A Big; Convention Held al Mercer but No Definite Action Token. 18PECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TBB DISPATCH. 1 Mebceb, June 21. Tbe Farmers and Laborers' Convention met here to-day and was largely attended. The speaker an nounced, Walter B. Pierce, of New York, failed to appear, and home talent took charge. The. Committee on Organization passed a resolution that only such as be lieved tbey had grievances, and that nothing but political legislation wonld remove them, should have a voice in the convention. This caused a division, but politics prevailed. Besolutions were adopted proposing the taxation of all property; abolishing of tbe offices of Poor Director, Jury Commisssoner and County School Su perintendent, and fixing another meeting for the 1st Monday of September to nomi nate a county ticket. The List met with much opposition, but was finally adopted. Friends of the Farmers' National Leaeue here made themselves heard, and it was de cided to holtflhe next meeting under their rules, which means no tickets. The meet ing was a failure as a political move, and unless an organization be effected In vthe fut ure looking to the interest of tbe farmer in other directions, and not to vent the spite of defeated candidates of old parties, but little good to him can possibly result from this day's work. PRIMARIES LN BLAIR. Tbe Probnble Winners for Positions on tbe Republican County Ticket. ISPECIAL TSXEQBAX TO TBB DISPATCB.1 Altoona, June 21. The Republican primary election was held in this city to night The vote polled was very light The indications are that A. P. McDonald, of this city, and Dr. Strayer, of Roaring Spring, will be nominated for the Assembly. The vote on County Commissioner is some what complicated, owing to the large num ber erf candidates for this office. Jacob Cowan, of Altoona, and Trevan Buck, of Logan township, will in all proba bility receive the nomination. John A. Crawford, of Sinking Valley, will be re nominated for Poor Director. OUTHWAITE'S EASY VICTORY. Tbe Columbus Congressman Started on His Way Back to Washington. SPECIAL TELXQBAU TO TBE DISPATCB.1 Columbus, June 21. Congressman J, H. Oulhwaite, at the Democratic primaries this evening, at which he was a candidate for renomination, made a clean sweep of the delegates in this and Madison counties. There are more than enough delegates in this county alone to nominate. Outbwaile's opponent, J. C. L. Pugb, did not develop strength as expected be would. He was de'eated by Outhwaite two years ago and some Democrats claim that Outh waite is instrumental in keeping him on the track for nomination because of his proverb ial weakness. TURNERS IN CONVENTION. Four Hundred From all Parts of tho Country Meet In New York. rsrECIAL TELXORAKTO TUX DISPATCH. 1 New Yobk, June 21. Four hundred Turners from all parts of the United States assembled in tbe big ball of the Central Turn Verein this evening to open the 14th con vention ot the North American Turners' Union. S. D. Sewards, first speaker of this turn district, welcomed the delegates to New York. Leicester Holme echoed Mr. Sewards welcome on behalf of the mayor. The pres ent convention of Turners surpasses in im portance any of the previous meetings of tbe kind. The principal subject of discus sion will be the proposition that the 40,000 Turners of the United States shall amalga mate with the Amateur Athletic Union. The question will be considered on Mon day. Many delegates are opposed, for senti mental reasons, to any such union. Others advocate it on tbe ground that the intro duction of the systematic turner train ing into the Amateur Athletic Union would be ol inestimable value to the rising genera tion of amateur athletes.

Po litical meteorologists have this week had to chronicle a series of violent storms, and the men who do the forecast business at Westminster prophesy tempests of cyclonic violence at an early date. Lord Salisbury and his colleagues find themselves at the end of tbe week weather-beaten, bewildered and gasping for breath. Some of them have sustained serious damage to their, po litical persons, and tbe ship ol state has be come so battered that wise men donbt whether it will be worth repairing. The vessel has almost ceased to answer the helm. The boilers fail to generate the necessary quantity of steam and the ma chinery creaks and groans for- want of oil which the engineers are at their wits' end to supply. We are also in a state of political topsy-tnrveydom. ANT NUMBER OP KICKEBS. The Tory Standard has been abusing Sec retary Matthews for mismanaging tbe Home Department and demoralizing the police force. The Tory Evening Newt is daily howling for the resignation of Postmaster General Baikes because of his tyranny in goading the postmen and telegraphers to mutiny. The Tory St. James GazelU' fiercely denounces Lord Salisbury for dis membering the empire by ceding Heligoland to Germany, and, lastly, the Liberal Union ist Daily Chronicle, whose gratiiyiug prog ress toward borne rule has been duly noted here from time to time, vehemently assails the home and foreign policy of the Gov ernment The Chronicle is even brntal in its strictnres,remindmg the Tory placement that they owe their salaries to the support of Liberal Unionists, whose cause they are be traving. Gladstone has been in the thick of the political storm all week. He has re mained in the House of Commons late into the night cheering his men and hurling de fiance at the troubled Tories with juvenile enjoyment He recorded his vote in the great division Thursday evening when the Government saved their publican endow ment bill by a startling majority of 4, and bis sonorous voice was heard distinct amid the frantic cheers with which tbe Liberals hailed the announcement of the Govern ment's narrow escape. HIS YOUTH BENEVED. Mr. Smith, misnamed tbe leader of the House, is already aged, and exhausted by tbe iray. Goscnrn gets more bilious and irritablft every day. Balfour bites bis nails night after night and is becoming physically more attenuated than the Government ma jorities. But in this same atmosphere, so enervating to the Tories, the Liberal leaders thrive vigorously. It has become common place to speak of Gladstone's marvelous virility, but nevertheless it never fails to strike "one as marvelous. Smith is nearly 30 years Gladstone's junior, but he looks an older man. The Grand Old Man was more than 40 years old and a famous statesman when Bal jour was born. But the long lapse ot time fiuds tbe old man's face the fuller and rosier, his step tbe lighter and brisker, bis spirits tbe higher and his energy the more super abundant Attempts have been .made by Tory news papers who see nothing disgrace ul in such deiense to attribute Thursday night's col lapse to the fact that a large number of their men preferred enjoying themselves at the Ascot races to per orming their legisla tive duties at Westminster. This is to some extent true, but the Government kuew a critical division was to be taken that even ing, and issued an urgent five-lined whip to its supporters to be in their places early in the day. PLENIT WHO DODGED. Bnt, including Unionists, no fewer than 140 ahsented themselves, and this in itself peaks volumes for the lack of discipline which sooner or later proves as disastrous in politics as in war. Were the Government at all hopeful of an appeal to the country Parliament would bave been dissolved long ago. Every day the ministry is becoming more discredited and less anxious fora gen eral election. The only alternative is the free use of the cloture or gag, in order to force the chief bills through Parliament The Speaker is not unwilling to assist the Government in this matter, but luckily he does not occupy the chair in committee, and Mr. Courtney, chairman of the committee, although a Lib eral Unionist, is a fair minded man, who isVaji tno newg of the day. not likely to allow hinuelt to be used as a ministerial tool. The Liberal leaders are not likely to take any active part in opposing the Anglo-German agreement, as tbey consider it on the whole a fairly equitable settlement of a difficult dispute, and they think anvhow that tbey have already enough sticks in band wherewith to thrash the Government The Radicals will denounce and oppose it, however, and curiously enough, will proba by receive tbe support of some Tories and Unionists whose imperialist instincts have been outraged by the cession of tiny Heligo land. THE DAT HAS NOT COME. But the ministry will not fall upon this question. The most important effect of the cession will be upon England's ioreign re lations. France and Bussi regard it as setting a seal to the adhesion of England to the triple alliance. It will immensely in crease the difficulty ot settling the New foundland fishery dispnte, and it may bring about the tall of the French ministry, which is at present under a cloud lor codsenting to the British scheme for the conversion ol the Egyptian debt. The question of treaty right has already arisen in regard to Zanzi bar in the Chamber ol Deputies. This af ternoon M. Francois Deloncle, amidj the sympathetic cheers of the majority of depnties, asked the Government whether the Zanzibar treaty ol 1862 did not give France the right to interfere. Daring the last lew days more has been written about tbe three-quarters of a square mile of rock and sand called Heligoland tban in all its previous history. Among the interesting particulars unearthed is one that there is not a single lawyer on the island. There is a very small prison there, but it rarely has any inmate, partly because crime is almost unknown and partly because the people object to the expenses of board ing prisoners. Cholera on lbs Decrease. Madbid, June 21. The cholera epidemio at Puebla De Bngat contlnnes to decrease. At'Fenollet there are five cases of the dis ease, and one death is reported. THE SULTAN IN BANGER. Mohammedan Fanatics Getting Beady to Assassinate tbe Turkish Ruler. BT CABLE TO TBB DISPATCH.! f London, June 21. The Sultan of Tur key's extravagance in entertaining royal visitors and the reckless manner in which of late he has scattered money and jewels among his favorites, male and female, have at lengthevoked a protest, not from the wretche(f",ials and soldiers whose pay has been c - SJ' withheld to defray the cost ll G, 1tjes of the Moham- '0t Jo into sacss anrj-,. j - M He Bosphorus. The movement, inS. &,, &tn -rmidable that the Sultan, insteauj Acu-VT' ibis in sulted dignity, caused anvjqr J to be conveyed to the discontenteaNt Jias and Sottas to the effect that although he de tested extravagance and hated Christian foreigners as mnch as they did, he was com pelled to spend the money from motives of state policy. A soft answer did not turn away wrath. The Sottas and Ulemas vehemently retorted that it was the cursed modern policy of con ciliating foreigners that bad caused the suf ferings of the faithful masses and bade fair to ruin tbe country. Tben these old time fanatics resorted to" the modern method of holding a meeting and passing resolutions calling for the re-establishment of the an cient regime, which is the Turkish euphem ism for assassinating the reigning Sultan. Abdul Hamid is not yet CO.years old, and does not want to die, so he has placed triple guards all over his palace, and has insti tuted an inquiry into a supposed plot. Sev eral civil and military functionaries, who as likely as not may be perfectly innocent, have been arrested, and will suffervicar iously for the Ulemas and, Sottas, if the latter cannot be reached. LONBON'S CHIEF BROWN. Tbe New Head of tbe Pollen la a One-Armed Tiger Slayer. IDT CABLE TO TBB DISPATCH.l London, June 2L The resignation of Monro and appointment of an Anglo-Indian official in his place has f reatly increased the agitation in the ranks of the Metropoli tan police, but despite the desperate efforts df artful Socialists, the men who only a few weeks ago were loudest in denouncing police tyranny, tbe policemen are acting prudently and there is no reason to apprehend a mutiny. Sir Edward Bradford, who succeeds Monro, is almost an unknown man. It is said that he showed great administrative skill when engaged in India, where he earned the reputation of bein? one of the most skilled tiger slayers in the East On one occasion a tiger almost slew Bradford. The beast succeeded in springing upon him unawares and bringing him down. Sir Edward lay still while tbe tiger gnawed his arm, fearing that if he moved his head it would be taken in the beast's jaws. Before the tiger had quite finished the arm the tiger was shot, but Sir Edward was armless. He accompanied Prince Albert Victor recently through India, and his appointment to t e "police commissioner ship is probably due to royal influence. GREAT BAY FOR RADICALS. Salisbury Administration Denounced The From a Dozen Platforms nt Once. BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. 1 London, June 21. Another great open air demonstration against the liquor endow ment bill washeld this afternoon in Victoria Park, East London. It was composed of members of the Liberal and Radical Associa tions and temperance bodies located in the East End, and was an enthusiastic one, though not so strong numerically as the Hyde Park meeting. Sixty thousand men and women marched in procession, and as many more were in the park when they arrived. Resolutions de nouncing tbe Government were put and carried simultaneously from ten platforms, and altogether, it was a great day for the Badical East Ender. TROUBLE LN THE BALKANS.

The radical Gov ernment, having failed to induce Austria to permit tbe importation of Servian swine, has pluckily but nnwisely commenced re taliatory measures against Austrian goods. Ex-King Milan, fearing radical designs against his dynasty, is quietly enlisting ad herents, and the probability of civil war is by no means remote. Bulgaria is sending notes to tbe great powers demanding the recognition of Prince Ferdinand in language peculiarly irritating to the Czar, and altogether trouble seems near in the BalkanB.

AN ORGANIZED BAND OF SCABS, That is What' the Leader of the Fedora tion Calls the Enights. TflE JIA8TEE WOECilAX A CHAELATA5. Etidentlj There Will be no Effort to Heal the Breach la Labor Circles. Gnmpers answers Powderly's charges of falsehood and treachery in kind. He says that the Knights of Labor is a scab organi zation, and the Master Workman a charla tan who is an incubus to labor. He is ready to prove these accusations at any time and place, SPECIAL TELZGEAM TO THZ DISPATCH! New Yobk. June 21. Samuel Gornpers, the American Federation of Labor's Presi dent, who, with his organization, was sd severely scored by Terrence T. Powderly, the head of the Knights of Labor, at ths Cooper Union mass meeting last evening was in a very belligerent mood when sees by a reporter to-day. He was ready to make a return for some ot Powderly's de nunciations. He said, among other things: "Before X begin to show up the rascality of that double-faced leader of the Knights of Labor let me clinch him on a lie. In his letter to-day to me, he said I had the advantage of him because I had time to prepare my self. At a meeting held in Harlem last Sunday, Mr. Powderly commissioned Thomas B. Maguire to explain tha, reasons of his absence. Mr. Magnire explained to the audience that tbe reason for Mr. Pow derly's absenc3 was that he was preparing for the meeting at Cooper Union and an at tack on the American Federation of Labor, JUST A PEW CBABGES. "Thus far I have abstained from mention ing particular instances in which the Knights of Labor have been antagonistic to trade unions, but now the time has come for me to make a few charges against thai mis erable organization. Mr. Powderly, in bis false statements last nigbt dwelt on general ities. But I mean to specify in my charges. "When the members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers went on strike at Mingo Junction, Pa., in 1887, Bailey, of the Geneial Executive Board of .the Knights ot Labor, endeavored to enter into an agreement with tbe employers- to furnish scabs to take tbe places ol the union men. He advertised for scabs all over the country, but our unions finally won the strike in spite oi tbe Knights of Labor. "During the cigar makers' lockout in this city tbe same year, tbe Knights ot Labor organized the scab cigar makers into a local assembly and then put them to work in the place ol union men. A delegation of employers appeared before tbe Kuizbts of Labor and used these words: 'If you. do not give us the label of your order we will have to surrender to the International Cigar Maker's Union and bend our knees to its officers. A NtTMBEB OP JXSTANCES. ( "The Knights of Labor did give tbe bosses the label and furnished scabs at a rate of 13 per cent lower than the scale of the Inter national Union. At Brilliant, O., in 1888, the Amalgamated Association oi Iron and Steel Workers struck against a reduction of wages. Tbe Knights of Labor put scabs to work in union men's places. One local as sembly which had some compunction about the matter discharged two of its members from the local union for scabbing. They appealed to General Master Workman: Powderly, who reversed the action of tha local union and reinstated the two scabs. "During tbe brewery lockout in this city, in most instances, tbe breweries were de clared union ones by tbe Kuigbts of Labor. When I met Mr. Powderly in Philadelphia not long ago I protested against tbe issu ance by the Knights oi Labor of a charter to a scab musicians' organization in Pittsburg. Mr. Powderly assured me that no charter had been issned to them. He subsequently adiuittea that a charter had been granted and the scab mnsicians in Pitlsbnrg have now a charter issued by the Knights of La bor. In a conflict between the Troy Times and the International Typographical Union, Bailey, of the General Executive Board of the Knights of Labor, denounced the attitude of the strikers as outrageous and improper, and offered to make tbe office & Knights of Labor office. i rOBCED TO BACK DOWN. ; "A similar case was that of a pap' Jacksonville, Fla., in which rat pi were organized into a local assembly i Kniirbts ot Labor. The Knights wete compelled to back down iu that inst. when the labor press ot the country thre eued to expose tbe dastardly action of t. order." Mr. Gornpers gave similar instances to these, and continued: "I do not want to bandy epithets with Powderly. I bave with held horrible evidence against him, but I will now prove to the world his treachery to the labor movement I charge tbe officers of the Knights ol Labor with being cheap and servile labor agents, and they bave made tha Knights of Labor the same to the general labor movement that the Printers' Protective Fraternity is to the International Typo graphical Union. They are an organized band of scabs. Mr. Powderly insinuates that I am a cur and a coward. If be be lieved that why did he make it impossible for me to meet him last night, or why doe he not meet me in the future. I will say through The Dispatch that I will meet him off or on the platform anywhere, at any place or at any time that will satisfy bis overweening conceit, and I will stamp him, once for all, as a charlatan and as incubus on the labor movement. "No matter how important my business may be, I will drop it to meet Powderly. He , played a piece of clever trickery to entrap me into the meeting last night" Another Attack at Philadelphia. rSPICIAL TILIOKAM TO TBB DISFATOH.1 Philadelphia, June 21. At a meet ing of cigar makers for organization to-night at St George's Hall, Samuel Gornpers, President of the American Federation of Labor, made a speech in which he bitterly attacked Mr. Powderly, General Master Workman ot tbe Knights of Labor.
