WARD. 3he Xew Tort and Brooklyn Capitalists Ask That Hatters be' Settled Within Thirty Days. FOOTBALL NiAIEES FKOM DETROIT. Oemakfy Disputed With the Payers' tetgne Qtneral Sporting Hews of the Diy. Philadelphia, November 6. There was ostensibly an informal conference of the capitalists of the Players' League at the Continental Hotel to-day, but it was really a meeting to discuss the course that shall be adopted in event of the desertion of the If ex Tork and Brooklyn Players' Clubs, which now seems probable. There were present Messrs. Hanlon and Eea, of Pittsburg; Prince, Hart and Irwin, of Boston, and J. Earle and G. AV. Wagner, Vandcrslice and Alien, for Philadelphia, while Francis C. Kicht acted in an advisory capacity. Jobn M. Ward attended the meeting, but not as the representative of tbe Brooklyn club, al though be held tbe proxies of the Cleveland and Cincinnati clubs. Tbe oroxy of the Chicago club was held by Boston. New York and Brooklyn were not represented. Before the meeting convened Sir. J. Earle Waimer, who was not inclined to believe that any desertions from the Players'circuit are con templated, asked Mr. Prince, of Boston, at whose instance the call bad been issued. If the Brooklyn and Now York clubs had been formally requested to send delegates, Mr. PriLC reDlied that thev had, but that neither had sent an reply. Jnst what was done can onlj be conjectured, as tbe delegates either made evative replies tn leading questions or concealed what they bad done by declaring that they bad only discussed tbe situation. But In discussing tbe situation the probable ainal-camai-nof tbe rival clubs in New York and Brooklyn and its possible effects upon the des tinies of tbe Plajers' organization was thor oughly carvassed and a plan of action con sidere'd. The Boston delegation appeared to be satisfied that the rumored desertion of tbe Brooklyn and New York clno was true, al though Mr. Prince acknowledged that his opinion was based almost entirely upon the re ports of tlienewspapeis. Mr. J Earle Wagner took the opposite tack. He declared that it was unfair to 'form such nmmons upon mere newpaner rumors, and that he had been assured bj t. McAlpiu that the New Yoik club would take no decisive step until tbe remaimcg clubs of the organization had made satisfactory arrangements with their rivals. While Mr Wagner was undoubtedly sincere in nis belief In tbe New York club's lojiltv. a telegram from Mr. Talcott rather ftreugtbened tbe position taken by the Boston delegation. It read in subtnrce: "We can make a satisfactory arrangement here. Hope other clubs can do the same. Would like to see something definite come within SO dajs." VitU the excention of the Wagner brothers, tbe delegation re gard the Biooklyn and New York clubs with distrust and tbe fact tnat neither was represented to-day was significantly commented upon. Mr. Hichter, who h.is been the stnnlv champion of the Pla.ers' movement from its inception, came out flat-footed and declared that they were traitors to Tlie cause, and went ro far as" to oppose the adnns-ion of Mr. Ward as the representative of the Urooklyn club. A. telegram was received from Al Johnson stating that Cleveland would Miiue In any conclusion that ttie meeting might arrive at. An adjourn ment was bad at 4 o'clock and the various out if-town delegate immediately departed. The Tegular annual meeting of the Players' League will be held in 1'ittsburtr on Tuesday next. Comi'-key Dihgusteil. Sr. Louis, Novembc 6 Canrain Comiskey armed here this morning and met Von dor Atle by appointment. They bad a long talk, and w ben Comiske r returned to the Lindell he said it was probable that he would play in fet. Louis next season. He expressed himself as disgusted over the management of the Plajers' League. "Why. we had the League beaten to a stand still." said he. "and then tbe manager quit, and now tbe League is on top. Talcott was first to weaken, and the rest soon let down." Personal friends of Comisker intimated that the Chicago club owed him JiOOU, ana that as It failed to pa on time he considered himself released from the three juarV contract.

Toxr .MCLLANe maintains that too much gym nasium work is detrimental to a ball player in 6omc respects, and especially for a pitcher. He claims that thedevclopment of the muscles of the arm ana suouiaeroeprives a pucner oi tnat iree and elastic motion which is so essential In throw luxtheuall.

Constant exer cise had 60 developed and hardened tbe muscles of his throwing arm that it required nearly two months' time loi him to work out the stiffness and limber it up. It was not until near the close ol tbe reason that Mullane regained something of bis old-time speed and effectiveness. HUET IS VAEIOUS WATS.

LICENSES KNOCKED OUT. A Town's Authority in a Liquor Case Made Void by the Supreme Court. Moundsyille, "W.Va., November 6. A very interesting decision was made to-day by the Supreme Court. Some time ago the Town Council granted saloon licenses, but the County Court refused to give a State license. To-day the case of John Henretta, charged with infringing the town license by selling to a minor, came up on appeal from the Mayor, when Judge Campbell decided that the town had no authority to issue a license under the circumstances and declared them all Toid. Thi Prohibitionists at once de clared their intention to close the saloons, while the saloomsta say they will resist.

STORY 01M3TANLEY. Continued from first Page. guilty. You are all my officers: you are all bound to be loyal and faltbful to me and to the best interests ot the expedition. You must not forget that you left England with the ex pressed intention of doing the very best you could. Now, when you get to Africa, you seem to have forgotten your prdmises: you have quarreled with one another; you have made your camp an abode of rniserv. Instead of Z7I men and officers, you have only 60 men; the rest are in their graves or dying, and of these men in camp before my eyes 40 cannot walk. What is the cause of all this? That is the information I wanted to get from Bonney. He could not answer because he was the lowest officer in the rank, but be said he could let me have an insight into what had been going on. HEYELATIO-S P BOM BOKNEY. It seems that before my arrival at Yambuya, and after Barttelot's murder, Bonney had writ ten a report to the committee as be, in common with others, had thought that I was dead. So wben 1 asked him if be had any evidence of what had taken place be said: "I have a letter which I was just about sending to the commit tee." They said: "As I am here and am your superior officer of the expedition, I have au thority to open it." After reading it I asked him to address it to me as chief ot the expedi tion instead of the committee, and it was in this way that I prevented that report of his from going to England. I have that letter. It explained very clearly what bad happened. It was written before I arrived. Therefore I have Bonney's report, Troup's two letter's. Ward's account, which I received, and more important than all, I have tbe log book signed by the officers day after day. Without any other evidence that log book of itself would prove that I was justified in my censure of the rear column, which was very mildinmy letter to the committee. Am I go ing to publish that log? I cannot say. I think it better to wait a while, till I have read Troup's book. BOXXEY COULD TELL IT ALL. Bonney could remove all this criticism by telling what he knows, and writing a plain, simple story ot what took place; how it was that Major Barttelot nas killed; how it was these men died like sheep; that the rear column, so grandly equipped belore starting, fell to rot. He told all tbe same story, and told it to Emin Pasha, and we all have heard It, but I also have his written story recorded at tbe time. The log book was written every day, like a ship's log, stating what had oc curred during tbe day. It is signed officially by whoever was tbe officer of the day. Tbe log book is very valuable, and with tbe social results in my possession fully Justify me in my censure of tne rear column and acauit me of tbe charge that I have acted otherwise than an honorable man and an officer. Barttelot was shot on July 19, and I arrived on tbe scene on August 17, therefore I did not see tbe deed nor did I nitness the causes which led to it, Tbe whole and sole cause was tbe violent temper of the Major. CAUSE OF BAKTTELOT'S DEATH. Barttelot had just come from Nyanza and was in camp where tbe rear guard had camped before. His very presence seemed to stir up tbe natives in camp. He demanded 60 men from the Arab chief as conriers, when he had already had all that was necessary. The chief told him that he could not give tbcm to him, for they were not to be found. He threatened him with reporting his denial and again demanded the men. and then complained to Bonney. Bonney told him he bad enough men already, and if he put the IS loads of rifles into their bands they could go ahead and protect themselves. That was July 17. He went to the Arab chief and beat him with a cypress stick, and left him in a horrible condition. Early on the morning of July 19 Barttelot was awakened and dis turbed by loud singing and beating of drums. He sent bis sergeant to find ont wbo made the noie. The sergeant reported ne coma nna no body responsible for it- He then sent his little boy. Soulti, who reported on bis return that a woman was singing and the men were drum ming, wbich is the African's custom in saluting the rising sun. BABTTELOT KILLED BY THE CHIEF. Barttelot said with an oath that he would shoot the first one who refused to stop the noise, and suiting tbe action to the word, he took down his revolver and marched out to find the native singers. He found near the chiefs hut a woman, who was the chief's wife. She was singing and the men drumming. He told tbcm to stop, and the woman looked at him in a defiant way and kept on, for all the natives hated him. He then struck and kicked her. She screamed and her husband, wbo was in the hut, not five yards away cleaning his gun, looked out of a loophole, and seeing Barttelot abusing his wife be put nis gun through the loophole aud fired, killing Bartte lot instantly. The murderer was a chief" not a slave, and these men love their, wives as much as you do here. It was done in a spasm of anger, to protect his wife from the officer's brutal treatment. From what reports I can obtain, he made himself very distasteful to the natives. He had a habit of standing in the pathways and grinning and making faces at them. He had tonr front teeth that were very prominent, and when he showed these it made the natives angry. For these reports I dsn't rely on Mr. Bonney, for there were 600 people who conld tell me bow the affair happened. Both Arab and native chiefs went over it very minutely, and although they might be some what prejudiced, they agreed to the letter in their statements of facts. I named him to look out for the Arab chler. and eulogized his character as compared with a white man's nature. TEEBIBLE TALES OF CRUELTY. There was no accusation against Barttelot, as is generally supposed, of immoral condnct with tho chiefs wifo? I never said any such thing as that, nor intimated it. There was no im moral action ot any of the men as far as known. "The log book of the camp, signed by Bart telot, Jamieson, Bonney and Ward, were sim ply one long account of remorseless flogging and inhumanity. One man had an ulcer seven inches in diameter which was full of maggots, caused by a severe beating. Barttelot even kicked bis little boy, Soultie, whom he himself said was an interesting, quaint little boy, and from tbe injuries of which he died. One man took a piece of raw meat because be has nearly crazed with hunger and ate it. For this he was ordered to receive 300 lashes. Tho doctor told Barttelot that if it was not stopped it would kill him. As soon as the man was able he ran away into the bush, but was captured and shot by Barttelot's orders. Bonney said to me a few days ago, "I haven't told you half of the horrors that existed in that camp, but it will all come out some time.' Mr. Stanley, when be returns to England, may bring an action of libel against Bart telot's brother, in order to sift the matter to the bottom so that the world may judge. He has Hospital Sergeant Bonney's diary, but will not make it public at present FIGHTING THE CONGEB BILL. New Yorkers Don't "Want the Sale of Com pound Lard Restricted. New York, November 6.

Mr. Hinckley says that he has no idea what may be the amount of the assets and liabilities, or wh.it could have caused the failure, and can make no statement whatever at present It is gathered irom parties outside tbe firm that tbe embarrassment is believed to be dne to nn increase of business on capital hardly sufficient to warrant it and to the tight money market. Tbe firm has been rated at from $100,000 to $150,000, and was believed to be makini; money every year.

She did not recognize tbe geologist, but he knew her at once. She was really pleased with her visit her first to "Wales and with the people. "They are so obliging and so communicative," she said. "Only yesterday I had a long con versation with an old man who was break ing stone on tbe road. He told me all I wanted to know, and was so civil that I gave him a shilling."

Although he has only a little over a week to live, be still maintains the same cheerful ness that has characterized his jail life since confinement. Sometimes he talks of bis death, but it is without any apparent dread. He says he does not tear the execution as much for himself as for his wife.

Continued From First Page. ognltion at the hands of the Democracy in the organization of the .House. Our 14 members may expect that tbe astounding majority elected against the Republicans destroys their recent ott-repeated claim that tbe ver dict of the people in 1888 was in favor of higher tariff taxation and rad ical partisanship. The Democratic party has a great trial before it with such a large major ity in the House. Tbe people will .expect much, regardless of the hostile Senate and Ex ecutive. We must relieve the agricultural in terests of tbe evils depressing them, and labor of Its unequal burdens. The fight for revenue reform must go on. ON ACCOUNT OF A SCABE. Chairman MIchener Gives His Explanation of the PoUtical Change. rEPECTAL TBLionaK to tub pisrATcn.i Indianapolis, November 6. Chairman Michener, of tbe State Republican Central Committee, says there are three reasons for the Republican defeat. One of them is the apathy common to elections in which neither President nor Governor is to be elected. Another is the dissatisfaction with the national administration, which always puts the party in power at a disadvantage lor a long time after a national election. Continuing, he says: The third canso and the one wbich I have been most afraid of all along is tbe scare over tho McKinley bill. The bill will be beneficial to the country, I believe, but there has not been time for its good effects to begin to be felt yet. If Congress bad passed the bill last June, the scare would have been over before the election, and results would have been dif ferent, but passed when it was, there was just time enouzh to get the people frightened about high prices and not time enough to show them results to remove their fright, I con fidently believe that in a year and a half from now tbe McKinley bill will be in high favor. THE COMING SPEAKEBSHD?. Congressman Maish Says Crisp, of Georgia, is His Choice. rSFKCIAL TELEOKAM TO THE DISPjLTCH.1 Philadelphia, November 6. The Democrats having obtained control of the Honse of Representatives at "Washington, interest naturally centers upon Speaker Reed's successor. Colonel Levi Maisb, of tbe Nineteenth Pennsylvania district, said to-day: "The brilliant success of the Democratic party in New England might make it advisable to make tbe selection from that section, in wbich event no better choice could be made than that of William E. Rnssell, of Massachu setts, who has just been re-elected. Judge Crisp is my choice, and if I were a member of the Fifty-third Congress I would do all in my power to make him the next Speaker." NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. Another Assembly Surprise Turns Up in Kings County. New Yoek, November 6. The turning over of the majority in the Eleventh Assem bly district or Kings county was the sur prise to-day in the Assembly news.

This gives them a good working majority of 10 in the Assembly and a ma jority of 4 on joint ballot to elect a United States Senator. The talk is still that Smith M. Weed is likely to be tbe man if Governor Hill is not DELAWARE STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC. The Authentic Count Gives Majorities for Governor and Congressman. "Wilmington, Del., November 6.

The Coldest "Wave of tho Season Ttoams Through the Northwest Fair weather continued yesterday in all the States except Minnesota, Montana and Wyoming, where light snow was falling. The storm that was moving eastward over tbe lake region was crowded north into Canada by the formation of an area of high pressure on tbe South Atlantic coast, which also caused a rise of from 10 to 15 in temperature in the Ohio Valley and the lower lake region, and a rise of 8 to 10 in all the Atlantic States. A baro metric depression formed in the Rocky Mount ains, near Salt Lake City, making a steep barometric gradient between that point and the Northwest States, cansing high northerly winds throughout the entire Northwest, and drawing down the coldest wave of the season. There was a general fall of from 15 to 30. The temperature at Winnipeg registered 4 above zero. The cold wave will be felt in all the States west of the Mississippi to-day. A very dense fog hung over tbe coast, from Hat teras to Boston, yesterday. LOCAL ITEMS. LIMITED. Incidents of a Day in Two Cities Condensed for Keady Heading.
