The polit ical excitement here has cb-ted in a great measuie to-day. The capacity for surprise was exhausted on both sides yesterday, so fiat the announcement of an additional gjia of 30 or 40 or so for the Democrats arouses now less interest than a variation of two or three would in ordinary times. Both parties seem prepared for anything the wires may tick rff, and things have gone ko far already that if the papers to-morrow should announce a Democratic majority in Congress of 200 no one in "Washington would manifest the slightest astonishment Call It a Political ISci olntiou. Veteran politicians here assert that the election we have just passed through will d down into history as one of the three or four political revolutions of the century in this country. They say that the people do not realize its lull extant vet they arc too near it to obtain a correct idea ot its di mensions aud that only two elections of equal importance the annihilation of the "Whigs in 1632 and the victory of the Re publicans under Lincoln in lbGO have oc curred within the experience of American citizens now living. President Harrison persists in adhering to the policy of silence. Assistant Secretary Tibbolt liis informed all inquirers to-day that the President had instructed him to tell the newspaper men that he had nothing to ray. Secretaries Blaine, "Windom and Tracv were similarlv secretive. Views of ome Cabinet Members. Other members of the Cabinet are not quite so silent, and at least two have ex pressed opinions. "X think," said Mr. "Wanamaker, "the absence of the members from their homes "until within two or three weeks of the elec tion because of the long session of Congress jias had a good deal to do with the result. "The losses in the new House are mainly due to the passage of the tariff bill so close to election and to the misrepresentations that are made about it. It is simply absurd to say that the people understood this tariff f bill and that the recent election is an indi cation of their disapproval of it. The tariff had nothing whatever to do with the losses in Pennsylvania." "How do you rccard the result of the election in Pennsylvania upon the Repub lican organization in tnis State?" Pennsylvania Permanently Republican. 'It will have no permanent eflect what ever. Pennsylvania is Republican. The party will he united again for 1802. I think that two years working under the Mc Kinley bill will prove that it is a good law, and for the advantage of the whole country. If the new tariff bad been enacted at the be ginning of the lastsession the election would have shown different results." The Secretary of the Interior was also in terviewed upon the subject. "All across this land," said Mr. Noble, "from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to the Gulf, there runs one deep American feeling. "Whenever any issue ap peals to the entire nation, the country will respond. A Presidental election will illus trate this, and that is the difference bettveen a Presidental election and an election in an off year. Various interests in various States have been responsible for the changes this year. You can't tell what the people will do, or what experiments they will try. In an off year everybody feels like kicking up their heels. They want to see what they can do." "You do not think, then, that the tariff b 11 and the election bill are responsible for these changes?" "cblo Ascribes It to Local TsMies. "No, I do not," replied the Secretary. "I believe the changes are due to local issues In the several States. The changes appear in too many sections of the country, whose interests are too diverse to attribute the re sult to any one cause." "What will be the effect of the defeat of Mr. Delamater upon the Republican organi zation in Pennsjlvania?" It is simply a giant that has fallen to the ground, to leap up again with renewed vigor and strength from contact with mother earth." Ex-Speaker Keifer is in town and his face wore a grim smile as he discussed the news this afternoon. He had a good deal ol trouble while trying to play dictator him self, once upon a time, and it may have pleased him to think tint the present Speaker had fallen into a still deeper hole. Mr. Keifer says it was the McKinley tariff. He is a protectionist, he says, but it he be lieved some of the statements made by Re publican stump orators in Ohio this year he would have voted the Democratic ticket. The OIT-Year Theory. Senator Dolph takes refuge in the "off year" theory, and makes the statement that the "friends of the tariff were inactive, while the Democrats were working with all their might." This will afford amusement to those who witnessed the different degreei HAPPENED HOW of activity at the Republican and Demo cratic headquarters here, aud who remember the singular "inactivity" of Reed and McKinlcv during the campaign. The Democrats in "Washington, though overjoyed, are not disposed to indulge in un reasonable demonstrations at the expense of the unfortunates. Asamlethey take the victory calmly and with dignity. Senator Gorman, who is in the city to-day, gives expression to the prevailing feeling among the members of his party. In con versation this alternoon he said that the vic tory was a protest of the people against the radical and indefensible measures brought forward by the Republicans in the last ses sion of Congress. LODGE BLAMES THE TARIFF. HE SAYS THE M'KINLEY BILL CAUSED THE REPUBLICAN OVERTHROW. Tho Scare About High l'rlces Also Bid Its "Work The rederal Election Bill, He Is Confident, Had Xotliing to lo With It. rSFECTAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. Boston, November G. Congressman Henry Cabot Lodge, author of the Federal elections bill, who barely squeezed back into his old place, looks upon the result of the campaign in a philosophical manner. He says in explanation of the cause of the Republicau repulses in this State and else where: "We have been badly and squarely beaten. Local questions, no doubt, aticcted the election of Governor, for which Mr. Russell made a most vigorous, energetic canvass, but ot Congressmen, not only here but elsewhere, there has been a general movement against the Republicans. 1 at tribute it wholly to one rause, the passage of the tariff bill just on the eve of a general election and the skillfully managed scare about high prices. "Time alone can show the real effect of the McKinley bill. The Republican defeat does not alter my views about it one whit. I feel now just as I did when I was speaking on the stump. Tbe bill is on trial. I think it will be of great value to the general pros perity of the country. "As to the election bill, if that had been the issue, tbe result in Massachusetts would have been very different, for the people of this State will always sustain measures for honest elections. That the principle of tbe election bill will triumph, I have no ques tion, but I did not report or support it with any idea of whether votes were to be made of it this year or next. I supported it, and shall continue to do so, because the principle of the bill is eternally right in any popular government and will surely prevail." DESPOTISM, SATS SPRINGER, lie Attributes tlio Republican Defeat to Partisan Acts in Congress. SPBlxoriELD, III., November G To a reporter who asked an expression of his opinion of the result of Tuesday's election, Congressman Springer, who has just been re-elected by over 5,000 majority, said: "Several causes have contributed to the unprecedented success of the Democratic party in this contest. At the beginuing of the first session of the present Congress the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, Unshed with victory in tbe national contest, adopted most arbitrary and despotic methods ot legislation, overturned the precedents of a hundred years and dis regarding the proprieties which should pre vail in parliamentary bodies, practically un seated "0 Democratic members who were elected by overwhelming majorities, and passed throuzh the Koue the force bill which was intended to perpetuate the party's supremacy. This policy had the effect of exasperating the Democrats to a degree hitherto unknown. If there had been here tofore any divisions or dissensions in the Democratic ranks, the partisan and despotic conduct of Speaker Reed and the Repub lican majority in the House of Representa tives entirely removed them and produced entire harmony in the party and stimulated the masses to the highest pitch of resistance. DEFENDING HIS BILL. Tho Defeated Tariff Champion Says Be Is Not Discouraged. ISrECIAL TELEOBAM TO TUE DISPATCH.J Canton, November 6. Major William McKinley, the defeated Napoleon of pro tection, has been surrounded all day by prominent politicians of his party, who are now proclaiming that he will be the Repub lican candidate ior Governor of Ohio next year. Your correspondent saw Major Mc Kinley to-day. He talked about his defeat and the startling Republican reverses, and said: "I am satisfied with the result in this dis trict. The people seem to have a wrong idea of the so-called McKinley bill, as I have often said on the stump. It puts hundreds of articles on the free list and only increases the tariff where it is necessary to protect American labor. I think in two years from now that its effects on the country will be so beneficial that the people will overwhelmingly indorse the Re publican party. In many States the Democrats won through local causes, particularly In Wisconsin and Pennsyl vania, when it comes to a national election all theso States will be fnuno. in the Repub lican column. These tidal waves have always come alter a new administration has come into power. It has been so for half a century. No. 1 am not in the least discouraeed. Ihe protection policy is ricbt and must surely pre vail. Two vears of Democratic legislation in the Lower House of Congress will be all the people can stanC. It is fortunate for the coun try that tho Senate and President aro still Republican. MILLIKEN'S VIEW OF IT. SmallMen, Thrust Into High Place Tie Gives as tho Cause rsrrciAt telequaii to the dispatch.! Philadelphia, November 6. James Milliken, of Bellefonte, one of the shrewd est political observers in the State and the man who nominated General Beaver for Governor in tne State Convention, was in this city to-day. Speaking of the election he said: It is the result of the indignation ot a great political party at tho anttcs of corrupt and small men thrust into high places. The President's conception of statcinan ship fell to the level of tbe ordinary small politician, and he permitted his Post master General to usurp the functions of the Executive by sending official communications direct to Congress and to dictate legislation in the name of the administration. The party in power permitted tho lobby to control its legis lation, and forced a pension bill upon the cun trv against which the best minds and the best soldiers of the Republic revolt HE WONDERED AT THE WATERLOO. Democratic Senator Harris Says It Was a Great Kevolntlon. Memphis, November 6. United States Senator Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee, who is in the city, when psked by a reporter what effecfthe result of Tuesday's election would have on the passage of the Force bill by the Senate, lie auswered: I am of the opinion it will intensify tbe Re publicans and make tbem more determined than ever in attempting to force its passage. It may. however, result in their abandonment of the bill. The election Tuesday was the greatest revolution ever chronicled in politics. While I was sauguine of the Democrats having a safe working majority in the next Congress, 1 never anticipated such a Waterloo for tho Re publicans. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SAY. Senators Ingalls and Flomb Itefose to ill plain the Tidal Wave. Kansab City, .November 6. Senator Plumb, at Emporia, and Senator Ingalls, at Atchison, were asked for an expression of opinion as to the Kansas political situation. Both declined to say a word about politics. THE NEXT CONGRESS. FIVE SENATORS ARE LOST TO THE RE PUBLICANS. Ingalls, Evarts, Spooner, FarweU and Blair Will bo Mining Tho Big Majority in tbe House National Political Features. ISPECIAL TELEPBAX TO THE DISPATCH.1 Washington, November G. With pos sibly a dozen districts in doubt, the Demo crats will have a majoiity of from 130 to 150 in the next Congress. The Farmers' Alliance has some representatives, but not enough to cut much of a figure in the big landslide. In addition, five Senators seem to have been lost in New Hampshire, New York, Illinois, Wisconsin and Kansas. The mortality among the Republican members of Congress appears in bold relief when the composition of the House commit tees is considered. Of the GO chairmen of committees in the present House, 37 have been retired to private life, either by the nominating conventions or by the verdict of the people at the polls. The Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Mr. Mc Kinley, is gone and so are his fellow com mitteemen, La Follette and Gear. Of the Elections Committee, Rowell, the Chair man, is defeated, and four of his Repub lican brethren, Cooper, of Ohio, Lacey, Greenhalge, and Comstock, arc also among the missing. The Appropriations Committee loses its Chairman, Mr. Cannon, together with Mc Comas, Peters and Brewer, all rejected at the polls, while Butterworth and Morrow retired of their own accord. Of the Repub lican members of the Judiciary Committee, its Chairman, Judge Taylor, is the only man who comes back to Congress, and Chairman Dorsey is the only spared monument on the Republican side of the Banking Committee. The Commerce Committee loses Chairman Baker, Mason, Anderson, Wickham and Browne. Chairman Lodge, of the Force Bill Com mittee, is saved by a scratch, but five of his Republican fellow committeemen have suf fered defeat. Among the other Republican chairmen of important commitees who are victims, according to the latest reports, are Dunncll, Chandler, Mason, Adams, Owen, La Follette, Sherman, Scranton, Cutcheou, Sassell, Thomas, Wade and Perkins. It is interesting to note the fact that of the Re publicans who voted for the force bill, 87 were defeated lor re-election last Tuesday. HATCH SAYS HE WANTS IT. The Missouri Congressman a Candidate for the Speakership. St. Louis, November 6. Congressman William H. Hatch, who has just been re elected in the First Missouri district by an increased majority of about 1,500, was in the city to-day and a reporter sought him out to ascertain whether or not he was a candidate for Speaker of the next House of Representatives, and if so, whether he was prepared to announce the fact. Congress man Hatch said: I am a candidate for the Speakership of the next House, based upon tho fact that we have a solid Democratic delegation from this State, whom I believe to bo willing to snpport my candidacy solidly and enthusiastically, and that I have been promised the support of a large number of members of the present House who are re-elected, and have voluntarily tendered to me their confidence and an nrgent request that I permit my name to be used in this connection. Added to this is the fact that the great change in tbe present House comes largely from the Northwest and the agricultural districts of the Mississippi valley, as well as the btates lying along the northern border. Mv services as chairman of the Committee on Agriculture for three successive terms under Mr. Carlisle, as Speaker, has brought me in close contact with the agricultural interests of the country, and believing that my success would be in ac cord with other's wishes, I have said to my fri ds that if I could secure the support of my own fetatc, and of tbe Representatives of this great interest in tbe West, that I would do all in my power to secure the Speakership not only as a personal ambition of my own. but far beyond this, as a compliment to the State I hare in part represented inC'ongress for six successive terms, and of that great section of country west of Indiana that has never been accorded tbe honor of selecting the Speaker of tbe House of Representatives. BYNUM IS WILLING. Indiana's Democratic Congressman Would Accept the Speakership. Indianapolis, November G. Mr. William D. Bynum, who has just been elected to Congress for the fourth term from this district, will be a candidate for Speaker of the new House. Mr. Bynum's majority is 4,500, being the largest he ever received, and nearly three times as large as his ma jority two years ago. He said to-night to a reporter: "I am a candidate for Speaker, and think that my chances of being elected are excel lent. I believe that the propriety of put ting a Northern and Western man in the chair of the House will be recognized by a majority of the Democratic members. I think there will be a disposition to pay the compliment to Indiana which would be involved in the election of an Indianan as Speaker. A representative of the metropol itan district of the State lor three times and as a member ot the Committee on Wavs and Means, which reported the Mills bill, my colleagues of tbe Indiana delegation are agreed that circumstances have rendered me the logical candidate lrom Indiana for Speakership. Without immodesty J. think I can plead my experience as Speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives and during my service of six years in Congress as qualifying me fairly to preside over the National House." BLAMES THE STAY-AT-HOMES. Governor lToard, of Wisconsin, Gives His Reason for Tuesday's Results. Madison, Wis., November 6. In an in terview with Governor Hoard to-night, he said: It is impossible for me to make any sufficient statement concerning Tuesday's results. The very best politicians in both parties are unable yet to give any Intelligent judgment as to the causes. Of one thins I am as-ured, and that is tbat the Republicans were defeated by tbe stay-at-home vote. In Dane county alone over 1,300 Republicans did not vote. GOVERN 0E HILL HEABD FB0M. Do Says It is a Preliminary Victory in the Contest of '93. Albany, November 6. Governor Hill was tendered a serenade to-night at the Ex ecutive mansion by the Democratic organ ization oi this city known as the "Buffalos." In concluding a speech, the Governor said: Fellow Citizens Wo have carried tbe relimiuary battle in the great contest ot 1892. et us now press onward unitedly and courage ously to the great victory which awaits us if we are true to ourselves and true to the essen tial principles of Democratic faith. CINCINNATI BLOCKED OHIO. Outhwaitc Says the Board Trouble Prevented a Democratic Victory. Washington, November 6. In an in terview with Congressman Outhwaite to night he said: Ohio would have gone Democratic but for the Cincinnati trouble. We could have elected a majority of our Congressmen under any fair districting law. As one of tbe great Central States, and one of the chief battlefields of tbe parties hereafter, Ohio surely will receive rec- Continued on Sixth Pago, PITTSBURG, FRIDAY, HONORS JM EMERY.

Assistant Fostmtter Hughes Astonishes a Court Boom Full of People by Making a Completo Retraction of All Ho Said About the Judge. (SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.l Philadelphia, November C. The suit brought by Judge Gordon against Assistant Postmaster Hughes for criminal libel was heard to-day before Magistrate McCarty. With Judge Gordon when he entered the office were ex-Secretary of State William S. Stenger, William E. Singerly and John F. Keenan, of Scranton, at whose house Judge Gordon says he stopped while in that city. Judge Gordon in his testimony, which was corroborated by Messrs. Singerly nnd Sten trer, said that he had gone to SeranKa on the Monday before the Democratic Conven was held, and utayed in Mr, Keenan's house the whole time. At the conclusion ot Judge Gordon's testimony Mr. Hughes created great surprise by saying: Judge Gordon, t feel constrained to say, after listening to your full and frank responses to my questions, tbat I do not doubt the trutn fulnoss of your answer or your sincerity. Mv letters, though written in the heat ot a political campaign, were based upon information volun tarily (liven to me by men in whom 1 reposed the fullest confidesce.and the statements made by them wore repeated on several occasions and wore persiMed in until yesterday. After tho preparation of my letters the same were submitted to two of these gentlemen who stated in tbe presence of witnesses that every statement contained therein were true. I wish further to nay in this connection that the statements made by these gentlemen, hav ing since been greatly modified by tbem, 1 de sire to make a full, open and manly retraction of everything statud in those letters which in any way reflects uuon your official integrity. Judge Gordon, during the retraction, looked at Mr. Kughes curiously, his face reddening as he proceeded. Mr. Sulzberger gazed at the speaker in astonishment, and tbe other spectators were too much taken back even to whisper. The magistrate fixed the bail at (1,500, Mr. Hughes becoming his own bondsman. LATEST STATE FIGURES. Chairman Kerr Thinks Black and Barclay May Pull Through Yet rSFECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Philadelphia, November 6. The of ficial returns as received here to-night from the several counties of the State show 16,650 majority for Pattison for Governor. These figuies will be revised some, but it is be lieved that when the final official returns are received there will be but little devia tion. The indications point to the election of Watres and Stewart, although Chairman Kerr, before leaving for Washington to night, claimed that the official returns will elect Black and Barclay. The greatest changes which have occurred are in the re turns from Erie. Allegheny, Luzerne, Law rence, Northampton, and Crawford, but these almost balance each other. There has been some talk here to-day to the effect that Governor PattisoD will name Judge James Gay Gordon as his Attorney General, and will, when the vacancy occurs by reason of Judge Gordon's resignation, appoint United States District Attorney John R. Read, who is a Democratic hold over under the Harrison administration, to the vacant Judgeship. It is rather early to discuss the formation of the Governor-elect's cabinet, but it is believed that either Judge Gordon or ex-Secretary of State Stenger will be one of the members of the Governor's offi cial family.

The en voys of the Irish Parliamentary party opened their American campaign for home rule in Ireland before a great audience which filled the Academy of Music here to night. The party reached the Broad street station at 5:10 o'clock. A great crowd was on hand to greet them. So enthusiastic was the welcome that the police had difficulty in rescuing the ladies of the party from the un comfortable crush. When the carriages were reached the visitors were carried to the Hotel Stafford. After dinner they were es corted to the Academy of Music, where 5,000 people greeted them with boundless enthusi asm. There is no city in the country where the cause ot Ireland is held in higher esteem than in Philadelphia, and to-night's demon stration was a most significant opening of their American tour. Not only was the welcome a warm one, but tbe final response to the first appeal was most geuerous. The figures are not yet available, for the sub scriptions poured in in such a flood that they have not yet been counted. Every seat in the Academy of Music for to-night and to-morrow night was sold davs ago, some of them at high premiums. This alone will yield $20,000 for the fund. Michael J. Rvan, Chairman of the Com mittee on Receptiou, appointed by the Philadelphia Municipal Council of the Irish National Leaeue, called the big meeting to order. Colonel A. K. McClure was named to preside and telegrams from the Governors of a dozen States, who had been requested to allow tbe use of their names as Vice Pi esidents of the meeting, were read. Mr. Dillon was unable to speak for some mo ments, so great was the ovation given him when he took the platform. He made a ringing speech on Ireland's wrongs and Ire land's needs. A VERY ANCIENT WHALE. It Turns Up With a Harpoon Driven Into It CO Years Ago. P5PECIAL TELEOBAM TO TUE DISPATCH.1 San Fbancisco. November 6. The whaler Beluga arrived to-day from Behring Sea, bringing remarkable news of the re covery of a harpoon which had been thrown into a whale 60 years before in the south seas. Every whaling vessel has its name stamped on the harpoon it uses. Last August in Behring Sea the Beluga killed a big whale, which when cut up, discovered an old harpoon, bearing the name of the Montezuma on it The head of the harpoon was perfectly preserved, but tbe shank had been eaten away close to the skin of the ani mal by action of the salt water. Now the records show that the Monte zuma quit whaling in the south seas 60 years ago. She was a New Bedford craft, and while lying idle at the port during the war, she was bought by the Government and sent with other old hulks down to Charleston, S. C, harbor, filled with stone and sunk at the entrance to the bay to break up blockade runuing. This veteran whale, that carried the harpoon for more than half a century, proved to be a formidable fightes and while the Beldga's men were after li it several times came near escaping. One f the boats had to be cut away to prevent its being drawn under. Finally, after exhausting all devices, the old whale was killed.

Another Step Taken to Have Her Popula tion Recounted. New Yoek, November 6. Mayor Grant is in receipt of a reply from Secretary Noble to his reapplication for a census recount in this city. Mr. Noble holds that the refusal of the Mayor to leave the police census books in his hands for examination leaves tbe situation the same as before the Mayor's reapplication.

PLEDGED TO SECRECY. Prof. Koch's Patients Bonnd in Honor Not to Say Anything .4 ABOUT HIS PLAN OP TREAT1IEKT. One Consumptive Said to Have Been Hade Whole Again by the Method. H0EE OP THE EDGAE MTSTEEY. tnr DtTKLAr's cable compaitt.i Beelin, November 6. Every one in the hospital La Charite is under promise not to divulge anything relating to Prof. Koch's experiments. The private patients under Koch's care belong to the higher aristoc racy, and have pledged their words of honor to keep silence until he releases them from the obligation. But from a private source information has come from a consumptive youth, the son of an official at the Hygenic Institute, of which Koch is President, has already been cured. In cases now under treatment a change for the better is ob served after five or six injections of lymph, within a fortnight In one case of long standing it took months to effect an improve ment. All the patients are seen daily by Koch, their expectorations preserved for examina tion, temperature noticed, etc. Before six months all the patients will have passed through the period of observation, and then Koch will be ready to put the result before tbe world. He thinks four to eight weeks will be necessary to complete the cure, but slight cases may take less time. If a for eigner should arrive within the next 11 days, and he be willing to submit abso lutely to the rules of the Charite hospital, he might come under Koch's experimental cure.

A Talk With Mrs. Richard Bowe About Her Husband's Whereabouts. TBT DUNLAP' S CABLE COSPAST. London, November 6. Mrs. Richard Rowe was spoken with this morning by a Dunlap reporter in reference to her hus band's connection in the Edgar case. She is a lady of middle height and middle aged, being about 40 years old, with a fine head of auburn hair. Her mother's houss, in which she is living, is a pleasant, comfortably furnished country house. When shown the Dunlap cablegram published in the daily papers she would not admit that she recog nized her husband as the Robert Rowe al luded to. When she came to the reference to Sumner she stopped reading and repeated to herself: "Sumner! Sumnerl What a bad lot he must be," and gave a little laugh. Mrs. Rowe said that her husband had no relation named Edgar and she had never beard the name mentioned. Rowe had only one uncle and he was dead. When asked to describe her husband, she refused but said that he was 47 years old. The reporter asked: "Have you heard from your husband regularly?" Mrs. Rowe replied: "Oh, yes." "When? When did you hear from him last?" "Last week." "Where did he write from?" "I can't remember." "Where do you write to him to?" "New York." "To what address?" "To the care of J. E. Milne, wholesale chemist, 59 Dey street, New York City." "Has Mr. Rowe ever mentioned Sumner in his letters?" "Never. I dare say he has had some transactions with him (Sumner). He was always dabbling in stocks. That is why he had to go to America to try to recoup him self. I believe he had some sneculation on hand." "Then does he intend to return to England or not?" "He thought of coming back this year. I don't believe for one moment tbat Mr. Rowe has had anything to do with any crime. He is a very nice man, but has been very foolish." "Did you ever live at Earls Court road?" "No. I have been in this house for six vears." PLEURO-PKEUMONIA REGAIN.

Again a vast nnmher of people assembled at the yards. At a given signal the blocks were knocked off, she careened and floated off on one side. Her long masts came in contact with and raked the pilings, tearing away half of the main truck, and portions of the smaller masts. Tugs were quickly sent to the ves sel's sides and kept her straight until suffi cient ballast had been placed on the liiht side to even her up. When in position she bobbed first to one side and then to the other, resembling a huge buoy. Within 20 days the machinery will be in position and there will be a trial trip down the bay.

BONNET CODIiD EEVEAL EYEEYTHIN8 rSPECIAI. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 New Yoek, November 6. Henry M, Stanley arrived in New York to-day. Ac companying him were his beautiful young wife, her mother, Mrs. Tennant, Hamilton Aide, the playwright, and Lieutenant J. Mounteney Jephson, one of the great ex plorer's most loyal officers. Mr. Stanley was met at quarantine by Colonel Thos. A. Knox, Colonel Finley Anderson and Ed ward Quintard, the founder of the Stanley Club. Colonel Anderson is tbe man who sent Stanley to Greece in 18G8 and later to Spain during the Carlist uprising, and who set on foot the movement which resulted in Stanley's first journey to Africa in search of Livingstone. When the party boarded the? steamer, Stanley wa3 below, bat he soon ap peared on deck. He looked as it he had not fully recovered from his recent sickness. His eyes almost filled with tears as Colonel Anderson, stepping toward him and grasp ing his hand, said: "We are glad to greet you once again; we are glad indeed to sea you once more in America; glad indeed to see you after your fearful yet triumphant experiences in the Dark Continent." STANLEY OVEECOME WITH EMOTION. The renowned discoverer bowed and an swered in quite a low voice that he was equally pleased to visit tbe United States once more. Then he added: "Although I have been away from this country, I am still one of its citizens. I am glad to feel that this is my country. I am away from here a great deal because I go and coma whenever and wherever duty calls me, but here I am again." Mrs. Stanley stood by her husband's side. She noticed tbe welconiegiven her husband with marked pleasure. She lingered near him during most of the talk about the voy age. On the way from Quarantine.Stanley gave himself up "to the newspaper men for only a little while. He said that he would pre fer to met them later at the Everett House. The result was that by 4 r. M. there wero gathered in the office of Mr. Pond, manager of the Stanley Ipctures, a group of newspa per men, representing net only New York, but other American cities and London and Paris. Mr. Stanley gave himself ;ip to ex amination and cross-examination. Colonel Anderson later had a private in terview with Mr. Stanley, during which reference f?.s made to the recent attacks' uuon him in Major Barttelot's diaries and Lieutenant Troup's book. STANLEY TELLS HIS STOEY. Upon my return from Albert Nyanza ht search of tbe rear column, a distance of 800 miles, said Mr. Stanley, I got reports at Ban yala of the condition of the rear column, which f I had left at Yambura. I had grown appre hensive as to its safety, and bad traveled bacU these SOU miles to learn something of the splen didly equipped cuard that I had left behind in charge of Major Bartellot with four other officers. I heard that the rear column was in an awful condition, and when I reached Yam buy a I found the report confirmed: the camp was in a demoralized state, many of the men were dead, and of all the officers only Bonney wa4 left I was horrified at this state of affairs, and wrote at once to tbe Conn relief committee an account of what I had fonnd at Yam buy a. I told them that the rear column was wrecked by tbe irresolution of its officers, tho neglect of their promise and their indifference to the interests of the exDedition. AH the talk that has recently been made was called forth by tbe remarks I made in the let ter. When I returned to Europe, of course there was an attempt made to get me to modify my charges. But Troup, in the meanwhile, had announced the immediate publication of his book, and an injunction bad been obtained by Sir Francis Wlnion. Secretary of the Emfa Relief Committee, to prevent its circulation. TEOUP CONDEMNS BAETTELOT. In Tronp's first book there was a wholesaler condemnation of Barttelot; bnt since the in junction be bad time to alter the first part and the last Dart of that book on account of tbs censure I had made on tho rear guard. When I got to Zanzibar one of the first things I found was a letter of IS pages from Troup. It was a violent abuse ot Barttelot and an intenued vin dication of himself. I never answered that let ter, because it needed a, personal interview, as there were many questions Ifound it necessary to ask him myself covering points which were not touched upon in the letter, tbe prin cipal question being why he and others preferred to remain and starve at Yambnya in stead of moving on. 1 never could get a satis factory answer from Bonney, so 1 hoped to get one from TronD. I wanted to know why they preferred staying at Yambnya until so many of their men bad died from fever or been killed, leaving only Bonney in charge. I wanted to asK why they preferred to wait, while all thotima it was understood tbat they were burning with, a desire to start. ONE THING HE WANTED TO KNOW. That is the one question I wanted to get an answer to beforo I replied to Troup. He got inuatient at my silence and wrote me another letter, which contained more specific charge! against Barttelot and some anery comments about my not having answered his first letter. As I was then writing my book, "In Darkest Africa," at Cairo, I wroto him stating tbat if be would revise his letter I would publish it, aud I sent him his report for revision, as it contained many things unfit for publi cation. He was so obstinate tbat he would not revise it and sent back to me demanding that I should publiih it. Sow, if he could show me certain a document proving tbat bo was in tbe right, I should be glad to publish it But tbe mere fact that be wrote In bis diary, and that Barttelot wrote in his many things that were unfit for publication, made me say: "I cannot publish it unless you eliminate these vile expressions. Troup did not do so, and therefore I did not publish it. When Troup saw "In Darkest Africa," he found that I ha4 made no attempt to justify him or remove the) censure I bad given vent to in my letter to the) committee. A TnBEAT FEOM TEOUT. Then Troup wrote me a threatening letter, stating that I would have to be prepared to meet such measures as he might see fit to em ploy to vindicate himself. I then wrote hint sayinz: If you think you are maligned un justly, heave ahead. You have a splendid op portunity now in writing yonr book to vindi cate vourelf. If you will tell your story as clear'lv as you can and are able to convinca anybody that you have acted rightly, you will convince me also. I can only judge from tho evidence before me. I can see many things connected with tho rear guard that I. should prefer to keep from public gaze, but 11 you wish to publish everything; you can do so. Itseems tbat he then destroyed part of his first book, which had not been given to tha world, and wrote the vile things against mo which have been published as an answer to my censure. ALL AEE HELD GUILTT. I conld not do otherwise from the evidence before me than say: 'Well, then, you are ali Continued en Sixth Page, nmmii mi'ii itiiiin -' rarri
