The brightest light possible has now been shed upon the recent exploration of the Dark Conti nent For three hours Henry M. Stanley has been in close consultation T-ith a special correspondent of the Londoa Times. The result of this interview will be found in the following complete and graphic statement from the bold explorer, which is signed by him and is given exclusively to The Dispatch and another American paper. It seems to furnish a complete refutation of the charges which have been made. Mr. Stanley begins: Such Attacks May be Expected. You must expect such attacks as have been made on me, and many more, because I know from conversations I have had nitb tho tnrvivirg officers that manv of them aro very Bore. Mr. Dartteloi's book begins in this way, and It is no different to what others say. On pr.ge 2, introductory chapter, "Life and Diary of Major Barttelot," Sir. Walter Barttelot saj : "Mr. Stanley has taid that the rear column was wrecked by the irresolution of its oCicer, neglect of promises, and indifference to written orders. To a soldier of tho Queen and agentle man this is a serious accusation and should not be allowed to pass " It is on that tho book turns. That is the reason for the book's existence. That sentenco tthicb Mr. liarttelot finds lault with Mas written in August. 1SSS, two days after meeting Ml Bonney and the emaciated remnant of the f leax coiuttiu, when 1 Xounu ? men alive outot 771, and only 1 living English officer out of 5. On learning then the details f what bad transpired I wrote that tho irresolution of the officers, neglect ot their promises and indiffer ence to the written order caused this awful collapc TIio Whole Troth to be Given. You ask me to justify that censure which has been the cause of Barttelot's book. It is a very serious business, although I can quite under stand that people should be answered, as I now propose to answer in order to determine the truth. It is absolutely immaterial to mo what view the people take of this censure, as I had enlisted all these men as my officers, and it was only to me tbey owed loyalty and obedience ac cording to their contracts I am also justified in reserving the right to condemn or award praise. At tho same tniio everybody is at liberty to express bis or her news on the condnct, but no one could possi bly bave tho same interest as I ba o to forget & great many offenses and gloss oterinany things in order to avoid scandal. Probably the best way in order to satisfy any legitimate interest m this question would be to tell the story of the rear column as I heard it at Yambuya, and then the public may understand the shocking cfl ect it had on me w htn, hasten ing to to their lellef, 1 was met by this awful revelation. First as to Major Barttcltot him self: in this boo. his diaries, on page 163, you will find the follow. ng entry bj Mr, Barttelot: -Uonneyand I talked about our probable ac tion In the event of Stanley doing certain things. I expressed myself openly. A Spirit or Insubordination, On page 170. under date of December 6, Mr. Barttelot states: "After dinner Bonnoy and I walked again and referred to our conversation of November 21 I maae a determination never to partake of Stanl ey's hospitality w bile out here, as we bave a private mcdicino chest. Jameson, in reference to our conveisation of November 21, expressed his determination to act as 1 should, and also refuse fatauley's hos pitality." "Wondering what all thi3 meant I asked Mr. Bonney to be frank and say what it all meant. He replied: "Weil, sir. Major Barttelot asked me: "Don't jou think Stanley is a Pntcbard a poisonerr And added that he had heard that one of j our ways was to leave Africa alone, so that noone would know what had transpired and be had heard the story of jour leaving an officer in some part of Africa and never going back for him." This gives a little insight into the state of feelirg of Major Barttelot and Mr. Jameson's clear comprehension of what had been hinted at. It seems that they had picked up a skit iroinoneof the irresponsible newspapers, saj ingitwas odd .Stanley never returned from Africa except alone. buspeited Stanley of Poisoning. I am told Major Barttelot had expressed great curiosity to learn the probable effect of a dose of cyanide of potassium, and one time was caught testing it on bis tongue in order to as certain whether its taste would be likely to be detected in a cup ot coffee. J. was told that the person for whom tho doe was intended was isalim De Mohammed.the nephew of lippo Tib. I was told also that Major Barttelot's life was twice saved by Mr. Bonny. Once be cause Major Barttelot had suddenly seixed a woman, who was passing near him, and buried bis teeth deep in her shoulder. I was told also that frequently Major Barttllot would cause Jus black follow ci to shrink before him by standing m their path, in lront of the advanc ing natives, and grinning like a fiend that is the expression that was used in describing it to; me while he would at the same moment brandish a long ci press staff that had upon it a sharp steel point. He was reported to me to be of ten running about the can.p, prodding his people and then flourishing this atick and hitting indiscrim inately without any apparent causa.

A Bright Boy Kicked to Dcatli. The little boy, Sondi, whoso death I have recorded in "In Darkest Africa," was a little fel low of 10 j ears. Major Barttelot refers to him in a general wav as a clever little fellow. I havo described him in my book as a wise headed little fellow. Major Barttelot was irri tated at this little boy one morning and kicked him, and from the effects ot that kick the boy died. John Henry, a mission lad. was flogged with SOO lashes and died very soon after receiving them, a Soudanaise soldier was placed on guard while suffering the torments of hunger and he stole a piece of the meat of a goat, for which he was flogged 150 lashes. Ho was sentenced to receive 3J0. but as be could not stand that at one time, tbey left off at 150 for him to recover, with tho threat that he would receive tho other 150 as soon as he was in a fit condition. Meantime he was put under guard. One night he broke away, took his rifle and ran into the bush. Seaich was made and in the next day or two he was caught, tried and sentenced to bo shot and the sentence was duly carried into exe cution. There was scarcely one among the Zanzibars who bad not been a victim of this system of remorseless punishment Cases of ltcmarkublo Cruelty. They bore their wounds on back and on limbs, and ot course, as Major Barttelot had "ent the medicines away down the mer two lull cases the means to alleviate them were wanting. For the want of these medicines many of the men died. Major Barttelot told Mr.Uonncy.lani informed,thatJhe recommended bis brother Walter to look after Mr. Troup on his armal in England, in order that Mr. Troup might not be tempted to disclose what was go ing on at Yambuya with the rear column. I am told that when the deserters from tho advance column rcacheu Yambuya and told Major Barttelot tho graphic tale of mv being killed by 17 arrows, he exclaimed: "Thank God, I shall be made Colonel, now." That statement has been sworn to by a person who heard it m tho presence of witnesses. boon after tbis.Mnjor Barttelot declared that ho had a project to undertake in connection with Mr. Jameson to pay for the goods under his charge and send the other three officers home and start them on an expedition of his owl. But bo was kind enough. I am told, to tell Mr. Bonney confidentially that if he cared to join him and Mr. Jameson he might, ana the oiber two lellons could shift for tnemselves meaning Mr. ard and Mr. Trouu. To Explore on Their Own Hook. Another project was that Major Barttelot proposed to leave tho surplus goods at Stanley Tails, in charge of Mr. Troup, while he (Major Barttelot) and Mr. Jameson started on their own book to explore. Major Barttelot also suggested that they should leave Yambuya and start tor Uuj oro by way of Uzizi, thus making a detour of l.aOO miles. Tippoo Tib. it seems, expressed nis willingness to accompany them, vrovided that 30,00u was guaranteed him. Mr, Bonney, I am told, on learning these views of Major Barttelot suggested that Mr. Troup and Mr. Ward should accompany him and proceed to the Major to demand an ex planation, but Mr. Troup declined to do tins, al though it is reported that Mr. Troup had known ot this intention of the Major long be fore Mr. Bonney beard of it. The intention of netting a full explanation from Major Barttelot in regard to these ideas w as frustrated by the want of unanimity on the support of tho others. 1 was told there were two parties in the camp. Barttelot and Jameson constituted one. and Ward, Troup ai'd Bonney tho other. It is said that when Mr. Jameson wasa'ked whether lu approved all these acts of Barttelot he was too cannj to say much, although another man told me Mr. Jameson in confidence to him said many things were done which did not meet his anprobation. It will be found that in Major Barttelot's letter to the Hniin Bey Belief Committee bo stated that he intended relieving himself of Mr. ard, owing to a sus picion Barttelot entertained that Mr. Ward was in tho habit of abstracting bra8 rods from the camp. He actually sent a courier, it is said, with a severe letter to Mr. Ward, saying he wouM niake a strict account into his jiro-ccediugs. - Much Hl-l'-seHna, ij tho Camp. A reference to this may bo seen in Mr. Jame son's letter of August 12, 1SSS. published in "In Darkesv Africa," where he writes to Mr. BoDnevthat for some reason which Bonney knew he had an intention of stopping Mr. Ward from joining the rear column again. There was a great deal of ill-feeling that had been excited in camp, especially in the mind of Jameson, by Ward and Troup having un screwed Jameson's boxes in the view of finding out whether or not there were concealed there in some provisions they said w ere missing. A bill was also sent from Banga station to Major Barttelot for 3,000 brass rods, which it was then stated Ward had received. 1 am told that Mr. Troup applied to Major Barttelot for mediciue w lnle ho was ill, and Barttelot re fused to gno it to him. 1 also heard there were frequent quarrels among tho officers in the camp, and upon one occasion, on ac count of a protest from Mr. Bonney.Major Bart telot ordered a guard of Soudanese to arrest him. In tho log-book signed by Major Barttelot and Mr. Jameson there is one record after another, in each day's entry, how people were ill treated by flogging going on day after day without any intermission. He bought four slave chains from Tippoo Tib for, I believe, 45, in order to put these people in chains. It is said that Major Barttelot confessed to Mr, Bonney that if many of the things done at Yambuya were known in England he would bo instantly dismissed from the service. Upon w hich, it is said, Mr. Bonney asked why aid ho commit til etc things, since ho knew they would disgrace him in the eyes of his countrymen. Barttelot Anxious to Desert. At one time Major Barttelot got in such a condition of mind that ho wished to retire from the expedition and I wished Mr BoLney to give himamedical certificate a tthc same time asking him: "Don't you think'I am sick enough to go home?" Now, coming to the day of the tragedv. Major Barttelot during the hours that intervened between July 17 and the morning of the 19th. had kept tho camp in state of lip roar. Thincshad been going on pretty well during his absence at Stanley Falls, but what ecr good feeling existed before his arrival was completelj dissipated by his return. He first fastened a quarrel on the Aran who owned the station of ISanalya, and demanded 60 slaves from the Arab. I ha e rejected that word, and put carriers in the log book. The Arab complained that, on account of such a large party of whites having come, the natives had become frightened and bad all run away, and could not be induced to stay in the neighborhood. It was therelorcim possible to catch any slaves, but Major Bart telot was inexorable, and insisted on a supply being given bim. On the morning of the 19th at dawn he heard drumming and singing; he sent some Soudanese soldiers to try and stop iu As this had no effect be sent his little boy. Still no use, and finally he went himself, taking with him his loaded revolver and that cypress staff with the steel point, which had already made such mischief, and with these weapons in his hands he walked to the scene of the singing. The Death of the Tyrant. "There he saw a woman beating a drum, ac companying it with her voice, as is tho usual custom with the Manyamas at the dawn of day, which they always open with wild music. Major Barttelot, on seeing the woman so engaged, ordered her to desist two or three times, ac comnanyiug each order with a prod of his steel pointed stagg, then with a blow of the staff and finally he began to kick her. Attracted by tho woman's screams her husband, Sanga, seeing Barttelot with a revolver in his hand, thrnst his gun through the loophole of a hut opposite to where this was taking place and shot Bart telot dead. Jameson then went to Stanley Falls where Sanga was proven to have killea Major Barttelot and was consequently sen tenced to death. If Sanga had been brought before mo, and if the story as reported to me orally and in writing was shown to be true, I should have acquitted him. Suppose such an Incident occurred in the street of any civilized city, would not any jury have acqu.tted the husband w ho thus killed tho assailant of his wife? Since I have censured tho whole rear column, it is perhaps necessary, if the foregoing docs not contani a sufficient explanation, lor me to say why I censured them. It must be under stood that any one of these officers w h a little firmness, could have arrested Major Barttelot's proceedings without violence. A mere letter from any one of them protesting again6t such acts and threatening to report the circumstances to the commission at home would have stopped it. The Officers Unable to Agree. It has been clearly shown from many ac countseven Mr. Troup's own narrative shows it that they disagreed with many things Major Barttelot did, and it is probably true that they protested bv word of mouth, but no amount of verbal protests would bave the same effect as a written arraignment of these tyrannical pro ceedings. I am sure had Major Barttelot re ceived tuch. a letter us woula Betet hare durad jjfeWiiWy 1 r-fe-i-i4wi", -aewftr to repeat them, rience, as this was not done, because I havo ncicr seen such written pro tests. I must needs censure their conduct for not doing the utmost they could in order to stop them, inasmuch as each had declared his intention to be loval and obedient and think of tho interests of the expedition. I will leave this to the judgment of every reader. Assuming the facts as they are stated in the foregoing, can any man conscientiously say that my censure of the roar column was harsh or unjust or undeserved when I state things after hearing all these horrible things and after seeing tho effects of those acts on the rear column when I said, two days after being brought face to face with this misery, that the rear column was wrecked by the irresolution of its officers the neglect of their promises and their indifference to written orders? Starva tion and continued ill-treatmont caused the condition of tho men to which I have referred ard produced the ulcers which ate the flesh so that their bones were almost exposed. Their backs were entirely gone. Tney were unable to stand, and still they were punished day after day. Troofs of the Statements. There is the log book as it was given to me. with day after day the accounts of tne most horriblo punishments. The records are signod by all the officers. They did not appreciate the amount of it, making tho daily entries, but as I read It over all together there stares mo In the face a record of evils and a continuous story of horrors. Starvation led to all this and jet Mr. Troup savs in his letter to me, dated March i. 1S90: "What do you think of us in the Yambua without any supplies, cloth, etc., and four davs from Stanley Falls, where plenty of tood could have been purchased, yet never an effort was made by Major Barttelot to help our poor, starving men. It is absurd to say that Tippoo Tib refused to supply us with food. He was never asked." The secret understanding with Tippo Tib is just of a piece with lin resolve not to take Stanley's hospitality again. As I heard from the surviving w Into officer and his men these fearful revelations and or the extremes to which a tjrranous despotism will lead a civi lized man. I expected every minute to hear at least of one effort being made to break the shackles and resist their imperious despotism. 1 thought Mr. Troup, who had encountered a policeman one time on Piccadilly, and was a strong, substantial man who would weigh one third more than Major Barttelot, or Mr. Ward, whose looks were tuose of a spirited young man, would hue faced tho depot andasked him to halt there and then. But it appears they were all as submissive as Madras coolies. A Cowardly Submission. Mr. Troup wanted medicines and could not get them, and seemingly did not know any other means to adopt than to keep indoors in the hut. Mr. Ward enlisted as an officer of the expedition, but whether ho was sent away from Yambuya to tho sea, or was ordered to halt at Banga, seems to have been all the same to him. He uid nothing. Thus Major Barttelot finding his assumption of authority all unchecked by protests and unresisted by moral and physical iorce, tearing nothing and without tbougnt as to consequence, advanced, according to all accounts, from bad to worse. One of the head nativo men at Yambua. I asked: "What would you have done if 1 bad left Major Barttelot as the only white officer in command here, and you had seen bim kill off your people so?" "Oh, master." he replied, "I would have carried him to Stanlev Falls." "But why did not my officers do that? ' "Oh, master," he answered, "they were afraid " Tho reason why I was absent from camp for 14 months instead of five, as I expected, was this: I left Yambuya on June 23 and arrived at Albert Nianza on December 13, 1W. Then I retnrneu, since there was no news of Erain, a distance of 130 miles where I built a fort, housed the sick, stored the gooJs and returned to the Albert Ny anza. I arrived there in April. 'S3, and stayed thero 20 days, having found Emm. Then 1 started to hnnt for the rear col umn, and found it onlj 90 miles from Yambuya. Ihnln !Not 3Xado a Prisoner. Emm's own letters published in "In Darkest Africa" explains how he came to my camp and that be was not taken prisoner by mc as has been charged. Now, in Mr. Barttelot's book, on pages 145 and 140, occurs the following pas sage: "Mr. Stanlev actually tells us that ho suggested to Major Barttelot tha t if tno carriers ot Tippo did not turn up the rear column should advance by making marches of six miles at a time four times over. No one but himself would dare, I should think, to put Buch a suggestion on paper for fear of the Ktorm of rderision it would provoke. The idea f if the subject matter were not so serious) is a splendid conception of the ridicuously im possible. Just thick what this brilliant sug gestion meant. Tho distance to tho Albert Lake is over 600 miles; to go thero by passages of six miles mado four mites over means to go over every six miles three donble journeys and one single journey, so that to advance one mile the suggestion is to travel seven, and in order to cover the GOO miles a march of 4,200 miles is to be made, which, supposing they march 50 miles a w eek, back ward and forward throughout the forest (a great deal more than Stanley did) would take them SI weeks, or more than a year and a half, always supposing that there are no accidents or trouble such as desertion, starvation or at tacks by Araos or natives, and fair roads." How Another Journey Was 3Iade. In answer to tbo seven trips which tho car riers were expected to make, which is one of Mr. Barttelot's charges against me, in tho first volume of the "Congo and the Founding of Its Free State" will be found the following paragraph: "In computing by statute miles the various marches and frequent counter marches accomplished during the year, we find a grand total of 2,352 English miles, according to a tape line measure, foot by foot, making an average of 6Ji miles performed through each day of the year, to gain an advance into the interior of 52 English miles. Take away the necessary days of rest enjoyed during the year, a period of 91 days, employed in making a passable road for the wagons, which, unless tolerably level, would bave been impassable for our top-heavy wagons, and the average rate of travel will prove we must have had an un usual and sacred regard for duty, besides a large hope that some day we should be re warded with positive success after all this strenuous endeavor." That work was per formed by 6S Zanzibaris dragging five wagons and carrying 2,000 loans. We nnished tho work, besides making the road, in 306 dajs. I suggested that Tippoo TiD might not supply the carriers he had agreed to because in ISTb be broke a contract he mado then with me. In stead of going for 60 days with me he went but 25. If he broke one con tract I felt that be bad enough of the Aran in nis nature to uacK out ot anoth.r. Mr. Barttelot states I didn't pay Tippoo Tib. The Hail; Telegi aph lslmy best answer to this since they had to nay the draft for J2.600. I gat o him 100 more than I agreed. Tho Money Stanley Contributed. As I said, I gave 3,000 to the expedition. "In Darkest Africa" thero is a memorandum of theso expenditures. I gave 500 to Stairs, 500 to Nelsou, 100 each to tho two others, 200 to Bonney, paid for my own kit, gave in another manner 7U0, and gave 500 to tho Zanzibars. It is rot fair to call the rear column Vcnm ' One part was no better than the other. A man was liable to be well to-day and sick to-morrow. I merely picked out the men who were well at the time 1 leu and took them, for I wanted to make forced marches. Mr. Bonney has tho penciled note of instruc tion 1 left with Major Barttelot. As to this Story about Mr. Jameson, a witness to the in cident drew up in his own handwriting an affi davit wherein he swears in the presence of wit nesses to tho following story: That Jame son, returning from Kasougo and conver sing with Tippo Tib and another Arab about cambalisni, informed them that he did not believe there was any such thing as canibal ism, because, although he bad heard much of it, he bad never seen it and no white man had ever seen it done. In reply to this Tippo Tib is said to have said:"It is easy enough to prove it you like." Upon which Jameson asked how, and Tippo Tib responded: "Pay for a slave and give it those men there. They will show you." Whereupon Mr. Jameson said he was very willing. A Most Horrible Tale. Twelve cotton handkerchiefs were then given and with them a little girl of 10 or 12 years was purchased. She was given to the men and Mr. Jameson is said to bave told them; "Now, let us see whatyou can do." The child was tied so she could not move. Mr. Jameson took a sketch book in hand and when he was ready the knife was plunged into the child's heart, and Mr. Jameson is said to have stdbd there while the life blood spurted over the body. He is said to bai e made six sketches descriptivo of tho various scenes that took place, the cutting up and the disposing uf tbo body. Shis appeared so incredible at first that when we expressed doubts,a European came forward and said he bad seen tbe sketches. Another European.upon being asked what be knew of It, said Jameson showed the sketches to him also. This was reported to the authorities of the Congo Free State, and they took evidence re garding It. On my arrival at Banaya I wrote Mr. Jameson a letter and sent a courier with it. In it 1 said: "Before you can join our expedi tion again I hope j ou will be able to disprove this story."

SUCCESS CROWNS A BIS .EFFORT. Shovelinjr Ont 5,00) a Jlinnte of the Precious Metal From thsHiravel. IMMENSE F0KUU AOiV ASSURED rSFECIAI. TELEOUAa TO TUB DISFATCB.l San Francisco, November 7. The suc cess of the great schem of laying bare the bed of Feather river, the largest mining enterprise ever undertaken in California, is now assured, as within two days samples of pay gravel cleared up yielded so richly that Manager McLaughlin con fidently expects to gather in from $10,000,000 to 515,000,000. Last week the bed of the river was exposed for the first time. Seventy feet above, sweep ing through Grantflume, are the imprisoned waters of Feather river. The wort has been going on night and day, and a.iew days ajjo Manager McLaughlin made thB first sample of the pan gravel from thejrriver bed. At a point where a littl s streak'o? top gravel was reached, Manager McLaughlin began paning, and men who had been bis trusted iieutenants during the long struggle with the river bent over to s'ie the first-glitter ot the precious metal. A smile went over each face when they saw the gold. PAN AFTER PAN OF GOLD. Five cents to a pan is considered very rich lor good dirt, but this top gravel, or rather debris, ran 25 cents, and a little deeper it went dollars, fiuch richness at the top would indicate richness at bedrock far exceeding the expectations of the most sanguine gold miner. Pan after pan of dirt waji worked and itjwas the same everywhere gold in every thing and plenty of it. "When the richest of it is being worked, it wiJl simply mean 100 and upward to a pan. At the present time it is hard to estimate the amount of wealth that will be lifted from the bed of the river. The gravel will be shoveled up into sluices and carried over a series of ripples, where it is forced by a rush of water over the usual appliances in use to save gold. So rich are the gravels now known to be that much of it will be worked by rocker. SHOVELING TJP $5,CO0 A MINUTE. Estimating 1 to a shorel and estimating that every man lifts tea shovels a minute, with 500 men at work, 55,000 per minute will be taken out in gold. This gives some idea of the immense returns which come to a successful river miner when he selects the right place for operations. The Golden Gate is now being worked ior all it is worth, in order to make a clean-up before the winter rains set in. It is merely a question of weather, and every clear day is invaluable to the stock holders in the mine, ffhich is believed to be the richest river mine ever laid bare to the world. At the first sign of a rise in the river ,from moun tain rains, subflumes, derricks, pumps, sluices, etc., will be removed, waste gates opened and everything placed in readiness for mountain floods, whiei for several months will send a Niagara of water over the heavy deck apron which now shields the big dam from mountain torrents. PBEPARING FOR THE STJ3MEB. As) soon ts lhe -vjil't rtuXaes in summer work will be begcu as early probably as July, and the work of removing the gold will be more carefully and systematically done. The gold on Feather river is another claim below the Golden Gate, and is one nnd a half miles in length. After the water leaves the flume it will be kept from returning to the river by an enormous canai, now being blasted in the solid rock bank, and a series of con crete walls, ten feet high, whose founda tions are being built on the same solid rock. The two claims adjoin each other and are expected to vield from $10,000,000 to $15, 000,000 ia gold. HAMLET was an old gtory -nhen Shakes peare got hold of it. In THE DISPATCH to-morrow Mark T.

The Mother-in-Law of a Dead Man Kescnts tho Interference of the letter's Father in thoFaneralArrangcments and Asserts Herself. SPECIAL TrXEQHOXI TO Tin SISrjLTCH.1 New York, November 7. Mrs. Louisa Geiscr, of 206 Floyd street, Williamsburg, was before Judge Goetting on a charge of assault, preferred by 'William Klein, of 101 Yaret street. Mrs. Geiscr's daughter is the widow of William Klein's son, Peter, Peter and his wife bad quarreled, and Mrs. Peter Klein was living with her mother. When her husband died Mr. Klein took possession o4 his son's body, and gave directions ior the funeral without consulting the widow. Mrs. Geiser resented what she considered the unwarranted interference, and deter mined to pay Mr. Klein a visit. She took her daughter's 6-weeks'-old baby with her. When she arrived at the Klein residence she found old Mr. Klein in the front parlor sitting beside the ice box, on which was the dead body of his son. After a little interchange of verbal hostilities. Mrs. Geiser lifted up the baby and danced it up and down on the lid of the ice box, saying that the intant had a right to be with its father. Mr. Klein tried to take the child away for fear, be says, that the ice box would be upset, and then Mrs. Geiser caught hold of him and shook him violently. Mr. Klein s Story was corroborated by several of his neighbors, and Mrs. Geiser did not attempt to contradict it. Justice Goeting found her guilty, but permitted her to go under sus pension of sentence. ITEE WIPED OUT A TOWJT. Terrible Conflagration In Winslow, a Village in tho Hoosier State. Petersburg, Ind., November 7. A terrible conflagration occurred at Winslow, a town of Pike county, this State, this morning. The whole town has been wiped out of existence. The houses were all frame structures and the fire spread with such rapidity that all the efforts ot the people to extinguish it proved unavailing. Not a house is left standing, and 400 persons are homeless. There is no fire department and no provision was made for such a calamity. How the fire originated has not been ascertained, but it is supposed to have been caused by a defective flue. There will be much suffering among the people. MINISTERS OK THE 6AHE FOOTIHG.

THE GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO INTER FERE IN HIS BEHALF And He TV11I ho Excquted on Not ember 14 His Jailers Instructed to Keep the Strict est Watch on Him to Prot eut His Taking Poison. tSPXCIAL TH.EQBAM TO TBB DISPATCH.! Ottawa, November 7. When Mrs. Birchall left Ottawa Wednesday night after her lengthy interview with the Minister of Justice, she departed with the impression that no definite action would be taken with regard to her husband's sentence by the Government until Saturday. Mr. Mac Murchy, her counsel, who accompanied Msr. Birchall before the Minister of Justice, stated that he was informed nothing would be done until Saturday, which fact, speak ing for Mrs. Birchall, he wished cabled to the English press. Anyway, immediately after this interview, a meeting of the Cabi net was called, and the Minister of Justice laid the case before his colleagues, and in a report to Council recommended that the law be allowed to take its course. This afternoon a telegram was dispatched from the Secretary of State Department to the Sheriff at Woodstock, announcing that the Governor Geneial in Council had de cided to let the law take its course, and that on Friday, November 14, the sentence of death should be carried out. The represen tations in the petitions and of Couucil were discussed by the Cabinet, and following the report of the Minister ot Justice, a recom mendation to the Governor General was adopted, advising His Excellency that no sufficient cause had been found to interfere with the due execution of the law, and that the sentence be carried out on the day and in the manner already settled. This morn ing the Governor General returned the rec ommendation to the Privy Council office indorsed "approved," and thereupon it be came an "an order in Council," and Birch all's doom was settled. A certified copy of the order was at once sent to the Secretary of State Department and from thence the news was wired to the jail authorities. It is believed in many quarters that Birchall will never see the gallows. The strictest injunction will be given, now the fate of the convicted murderer is sealed, to watch him more closely thau ever, with a view to preventing bis taking poison. If it is true, as believed, that he wrote the "Colonel" letter himself and got it out, it is quite possible that he will be able to secure the means wherewith to cheat the gallows. CHICAGO'S EIFFEL. GROTESQUE SCHEME FOR A RESTAUR. ANT, HALL AND PROMENADE, Nearly 400 Teet In tho Air, to Cost 81,000 OOO Proposed Corporation to Erectand Conduct tho Affair to be Reimbursed by Admission Tees and Pritilegcs. SPECIAL TELKGIIAM TO TBE DISFATCIt.l Chicago, November 7. A restaurant, a concert hall and a grand promenade perched on top of a steel structure 400 iect in height is the novelty which has been designed by two Chicago engineers to match the far famed Eiffel tower. The site of this pro posed novelty in architecture is on Lake Front Park, and it is proposed to build it oa a rectangular piece of ground about 800 feet long by about 310 or 400 feet in width. The design calls for r. light and airy lookiug framework, made strong by a thorough system of bracing and supported by a large number of steel columns. It is an open work so as to offer the least possible resistance to the wind, and at night it is proposed to make it brilliant with a pro fusion of electric lights. An inclined plane running lengthwise through the body of tbe structure furnishes a means of raising carriages to the top, and from there a drive way 35 feet in width, extending around and around, furnishes a means of getting back to terra firma,and at the same time enjoying a magnificent view of both lake and city. On the very top is situated the building where it is proposed to locate a French, a German and an American restaurant.a huge concert hall and a series of promenades. If the plan is carried out as is proposed the structure will be about 100 'eet higher than the Auditorium tower, which is the highest piece of architecture in Chicago, being 270 feet above the street level, and wonld be about 200 feet higher than tbe Court House tower in Pittsburg. It is pro posed to charter a corporation to put up the building and get even by charging an ad mission fee and charging for the restaurant and other privileges. The estimated cost is $1,000,000. riTTSBURG'S Police Department has been -written np for THE DISPATCH to morrow by an old newspaperman. A mam moth addition. All the news, Twenty-four pages. PEMALE STUDENTS PERSECUTED. The Indignities They Aro Subjected to In a St. Louis College rSFECIAI. TJXBOKAM TO TUB DISFATCn.1 St. Louis, November 7. Three ladies who are students in the St. Louis College of Pharmacy have preferred charges with the faculty against the male juniors of their class. The trio of ladies is composed of Mrs. Marie d'Amour, whose husband is a graduate of the same college and a practic ing druggist; Mrs. N. T. McClain and Miss Augusta A. Bock. Tbe male students are indignant at an invasion of their profession by women. It is said that when one of the three female juniors appears in the class room when the lecturers chance to be out she is greeted with derisive cat calls, shouts of "Hello girls," "Ah there, my female cTruggist!" and various other humorous sallies.calculated to make her feel uncomfort ably at home and among friends. When they ask a question during the lecture, their frank confession ot ignorance is commented on by their 100 classmates with withering sarcasm or drowned in a chorus of coughs and general feet-shuffling. And when one of the ladies rises to recite, the "gallant 100" voices its unmistakable hostility to female competition by hissing throughout the lady's recitation. PO WDERLY OFF FOE DENVER.

General Master Workman Powderly left to-day toattendthe General Assembly Knights of Labor, which will be held in Denver, commencing on Tuesday of next week. To a reporter he said: The most important business to come before the General Assembly will be the election of officers. We will also pass upon the constitu tional question. We will also perfect our plans for a closer co-operation with the Farmers' Alliance. It is my impression that the order will not take action for a separato party at this session. Personally, lam not iu favor ot such an organization at present. I prefer that we sbouldbe in such position as to influence the old parties to nominate good men. Take Penn sylvania, for instance. Bosses dictated the nomination of the Republican Convention for Gpvernor. The Democrats, being free from those Influences, nominated a clean-cut man, who had tbe manliness to take tbe sido of the people on the great question ot ballot reform. Knights of Labor aided it and Paulson was elected. I have nothing to say on the subject of being a candidate for re-election. SHOOTING on the Scottish Moors is the subject of Edgar L.

The woman who attempted to kill Dr. Frank Bright, Master of University College, Oxford, last night, was formerly engaged to Snbdean Haines, who is now betrothed to Dr. Bright's daughter. Calling at the college, she first asked the porter if she conld see Mr. Haines, deceiv ing a reply in the negative, she proceeded to Dr. Bright's house and asked for Miss Bright. Failing to see her, she inquired for Dr. Bright, and wreaked her vengeance upon him. A woman named Mrs. Biordan has been arrested for the shooting. Detective Mc Guire called at her house, 35 Sydney street, South Kensington, at 9 o'clock last night and inquired for Mrs. Biordan. He was told that the lady was in bed, to which she had been confined for three days. McGuire watched the house through the night, and at 10 o'clock this morning, stationed himself in the passage outside Mrs. Biordan's bed room, and waited for the arrival of police from Oxford. During the intervals Mrs. Biordan remained in bed. In the afternoon Chief Superintendent, of Oxford, and Dr. Bright's butler came to town. On their visiting the house, Mrs. Biordan consented to get up and dres, but averred that she had not been out of bed for three days. At first she denied all knowledge of Dean Haines, but ultimately admitted that she did know him. As soou as tbe butler saw Mrs. Kiordan he exclaimed, "That is the lady." The landlady and the servant girl are both positive that Mrs. Biordan has been in bed for three days. But the landlady admitted that she herself had been out all the afternoon and evening of the day on which the shooting took place. Mrs. Bior dan is a well-leaturcd woman of 35 years, over five feet six inches iu height and very pale. THE anSSLNG DUKE. A Determined Search to bo Mado forllim in South America.

He Does Not Place Much Faith In the Koch Consumption Cure. fBT DUMLAP'S CABLE COHPAKT. London, November 7. In reference to the recent alleged discovery of Prof. Koch, about which all Europe is at present talk ing, and which has created a great deal of discussion iu medical society, an eminent physician of this city writes to the jiapers this morning as follows: Thero are certain considerations about this matter that make ns besitato before conclud ing that tho medical millennium is about to set id. In the first place, it may be pointed out without any disparagment to Koch or his col leagues that in no field of knowledgo are mare's-nests so large and so frequent as in medicine, lnfalliblo methods of treat ment have been announced time and time acain for all the graver ills to which flesh is heir, and many of tbetn have undeniably shown surprisingly good results at first in a limited number of cases, yet hardly one In a thousand stands the test of a prolonged and extended trial. On the whole, it seems prob able that Koch's cure will turn out to be a germicide, in which case its effects are liable to prove lasting, though in any case it is to be hoped for the credit of German mediciue that rumors of a secret manufactory for this medi cine are unfounded. If this possibly great discovery is to be nothing moro than a patent medicine the confidence of tbe public, not to mention a large fortune, may perhaps base cured, but that of the profession will never bo acquired. APPEALING TO KOCH. Letters From Prince nnd Pauper Consump tives aU Over the "World. TBT DUSLAP'S CABLE COMPAKT.l Berlin, November 7. Professor Koch is busy in preparing great quantities of lymph to enable him to meet the demand which is sure to arise as soon as patients are generally admitted. If possible, a bill will be submitted, next Thursday, to the Prus sian Diet, authorizing a grant of money to erect special wards in the garden of the Charity Hospital. Koch's correspondence is now being opened by his assistants, as it comprises tbe most heartrending letters from consumptives, who rest their last hopes of life on the professor's discovery. Mothers write, imploring Koch to save their children. There are letters from princes and pauperi in every corner of the world. Koch is not shown these appeals, lest his mind be distracted from his experiment, and they are all filed away till the proper time for answering them shall arrive. SOCIETY MEN ALARMED.

As a sequel to the raid made by the Vigilance Committee on the Babelais exhibition of painting at the art gallery in Pall Mall, there is great excitement among society people, arising from a very simple rule the exhibitors had made. They required every man who en tered the private room in which the partic ularly glaring pictures were hung to hand his card to tbe doorkeeper. All these cards have been saved and the exhibitors say they intend to produce them in court, in order that the public may Know what a fine class of people attended their exhibition of Monsieur Garnier's pictures.

Nationalists and Unionists Fight at His Omagh Reception. By Associated Press. Dublin, November 7. Mr. Balfour went from Gweedore to Laterkinney to-day. There he had a long interview with the Catholic Bishop aud received deputations of prominent citizens asking for railway ex tensions. Mr. Balfour, in a speech, de clared that present governments would be looked back on as an era of efficient public works in the poor districts of Ireland. On arriving at Omagh a number of Nationalists cheered for Gladstone and O'Brien, and were attacked by the Union ists present. A scrimmage ensued. When the row was over Mr. Balfour thanked the people heartily for their reception. From Omagh Mr. Balfour went to Port Adown, where he met with an ovation. In a speech to the people 'he promised at some time in the future to speak to them on poli tics. In the meantime he thanked them from the bottom of his heart, knowing that no matter what party had misjudged his work, the people of Port Adown had not. At Dungannon Mr. Balfour was received in a very cordial way by many of the people. There was a great crowd to meet him, and. while he was cheered by tbe plaudits of a large number, there were dissi dents in the crowd with a considerable fol lowing who would not join in any welcom ing demonstration.

He urged the United States Government to grant a subsidy and the American public to subscribe promptly for tbe purpose of securing for America the honor of presenting to the world a great classical discovery. ORDERED BY THE POrE.

LATEST FIG DEES OP TUB CONTEST fSPECIAL TELEOEAM TO THE DISPATCTJ.1 Washington, November 7. Now that three days have elapsed since the political cyclone, the Democrats are recovering from their daze of delight, while the Bepublicans are picking themselves out of the debris, and both parties inquire simultaneously: "What next?" There is no use in wasting breath on the next House, except so far as relates to the question of the Speakership. On this point discussion has broken loose) in all parts of tbe country, and already nearly a score of candidates are in the field, either formally or tentatively. According to the general drift of opinion here the three men most eminently fitted to fill the Speak ership of the Futy-second Congress are Messrs. Crisp, of Georgia; Springer, of Illinois, and AViIson, of West Virginia. Crisp and Springer are expert parliamen tarians, quick in decision, fair-minded in intention, anthoritativc in action and rnle. Mr. Springer is a veteran in the ranks who has been of vast benefit to the party and to legislation in general, and who deserves some substantial recognition of his valu able services. A ROOM FOR "WILSON. Mr. Wilson is a man of splendid intel lectual equipment and of sterling moral qualities, who commands the highest re spect of all his associates in Congress. Ho would be as intelligent and equitable a Speaker as Carlisle. There is some doubt as to his physical ability to stand the strain of the office. Mr. Dan Lockwood's candidacy meets with favor among the Washington poli ticians. The only thing urged against him is his comparative lack of experience at the Capitol. Mr. Mills, of Texas, is said to have re considered the matter, and now thinks he would like to be Speaker. In the opinion even ot his admirers, there is hardly any body, certainly among the older : embers of the House, who is less fitted for the office than Mr. Mills. His bad temper and im petuosity would alone unfit him for it, no$ ' to mention political 'considerations. Other candidates are: Messrs. McMillan, Bynum, McCreary, Outhwaite, Hatch, Breckinridge and Blount, most of whom have some positive qualifications for tha office. INCREASE IN THE MAJORITY.

The Bepublican majority in the Senate next session, counting in the four new Senators from Idaho and Wyoming, will be 14. By the election of last Tuesday Democratic Senators in place of the present Bepublican Senators are assured for the Fifty-second Congress, from four or five and possibly six States, while the Farmers' Alliince people will elect Ingalls' successor in Kansas. Tha Bepublican majority in the Senate after next March is thus reduced to almost nothing at one blow. Even it the next Congress should open with the Bepublicans six ahead in tha Senate, it must be remembered that threa hold-over Senators, namely Plumb, Pad dock and Pettigrew have decidedly inde pendent tendencies. They voted against tha McKinley bill, and similar action on their p?rt in the next Congress would reduce the Senate to a tie. DANGERS OF THE FUTURE.
