Gov-raor-elect Patttson, who has been sojourn ing at Atlantic City since Thursday last, in company with Judge .limes Gay Gordon, of this city, returned this evening with his friend from the seashore. On Monday he will hold a conference with ex-Postmaster Earrily and ox-State Chairman AV. U. Heasel, when the subject of the Governor's Cahinet will be thoioughly discusseJ. Ex-Postmaster Harrity, since the election, las been the recipient of numerous con gratulatory dispatcher and as he and the sen: Governor are now on the closest terms xf political intimacy, it t thought that Harrilv, rather than Scott or any of the other State leaders, will be asked his opin ion and advice regarding the make-up of Ihe Cabinet. There have been a ruiubcr of names al ready mentioned in connection with the oQcc of Secretary ol State, including those Df Jsmes A. Siranahan, of Mercer county, ci-diairman Hensel and cx-Secretarv of fciate William S. Stcnger. It is the general itapreision that either Stenger will be made feeeretari of State, or else that Judge Goi t!on will 1p made Atm.ney General. Cordon tr Memrer Staled. The o rat j-r t'.u- Ins previous auinin Sslration daily consulted with bath Gordon anil Stenger, and his Philadelphia ward tvorkers fully believe that either one or the other of the two named will be made a Member ot the Governor's official fjmily. Another slorv that is going the rounds in connection with the make-up of the Cabinet ami the chines incident thereto, is that should Gordon be named as Attorney Gcc ral, James 51. Beck, First Assistant trailed States District Attorney and the law jtsrtner of Mr. Harritr. will be named as Jaflgt, to succeed Mr. Gordon. The shrewd politicians who discuss the sebjert feel that it will be Mr. Stenger who vsftl be appointed as a member of the Cab inet trad that lie will be given his old place s Secretary of State. Thev say that even tneaei Judge Gordon should resign to ac cept tlie Attorney Generalship and Mr. Beck be named as lin successor, the Repub licans wouid have tiut iittle difficulty in de feating Ecek and electing his successor at the tali election following his appointment 3.arkiumid ?:ulje Magee Considered. It is also believed here that cx-Potuiaster Ijffkin. of Pittsburg, and Judge Magee, of the same city, will have considerable to sav in the naming of the Adjutant General, who mil, it ic thought, be named from the AVest rn part oi the State. After Monday's con ference, it is though, that the matter will EiMimr definite shape.

I gained 2,000 votes during a campaign which lasted hut three weet That was even more than I had any right to expect. It is certainly yery gratifying to me." "Whit do you think of the result in the State?" "The Kepublican victory on the State ticket was splendid. The unfairness of the gerrymander was manifested most clearly by the recent election. The Itepublicans carried the State by a popular majority of over 12,000, while the Democrats secured two-thirds of the Representatives in Con gress and the Republicans one-third. This s-hows the vSect of the gerrmauder very clearly." "Has the cause of protection suffered any by the Democratic victories throughout the country?" "Protection is stronger to-day than it ever was, and it will continue to grow in favor. The tariff bill, which was made The issue during the campaign, was but three and one-half weeks old when tue election occurred and many of its provisions have not yet gone into effect. The hill was misunderstood and shamefully misrepresented. The latter was done bv the importers, many of whom are not citizens of the United States aud are free traders." "What will be the future of the bill?" "I am sure that it will win in the end All great measures have met with temporary defeat. The emancipation of the slaves and the passage of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution may be Iiointed to as examples. The same issue will come to the front in 1S92, ana it will j then be better understood. Our defeat this yeir is not greater than it was in 18b2, two years after Garfield was elected. The Eenublicans have not had a majority in the House of Representatives but twice since 187o In this Congress we have 2G members from the South, while in the next there will be but two or three.

Major McKmley came to the city on busi ness and a number of friends called upon him in the evening. lie said that he would tike a rest for a few days and leave for AVashingtoii in about two weeks, 60 as to be ready for the opening of Congress on Decem ber 1.

He Claims the McICinley Bill Cuused Re publican Defeat on Tuesday. Chicago, November 8. Congressman Benjamin Buttcrworth, who declined a re uomination for Congress from his district in Cincinnati, expressed himself to-day upon the result of the election: In my opinion no man could have made a successful laco for tho Presidency of the United States standing npon the issue of tho JicKinlcy bill, and I think the high tariff path the rockiest one to travel for public office at the present time. The poople in this country are in such a state that not even the most pros perous cla-s will stand the w eight of a feather of tax 1 he worst policy any party could pur suo is to take the stand of favoring an increase in the tariff when it is and has been nppaient that a reduction is what has been needed and is wanted. 1 think I saw what was cominc, at least my ac tions show that I pursued a wise course, and other Itepublicans knew only too well the in evitable con'tquence of the McKinley bill's adoption. I received a letter from a Minnesota Congressman this morning which read: "Hon terrible was the slaughter. Yon saw the trouble and slid out, but I staid like a lamb and was butchered beautifully. The McKinle? bill aud the Farmers' Alliance w ere too much lor me." I do not think that the actions of Speaker I teed antagonized public feeling to the extent the newspapers make out, and nearlv everyone knows tliat the Democratic gains were made because the mass of Itepublicans arc becoming more and more disgusted with high tariff teachings. Now that the prophet has spoken and alesson been taught. I have no doubt that pioper adjustments will immediately follow. AK0THEB W0HD TOE CLETCLAND. Alien AV.

Graduated From a Thicv cs' School in Lon don, but Found His Career as a First Class Crook in This Country L Arrested in Chicago. Chicago, November 8. It has developed to-day that the man giving his name as Patrick Ford, who, together with a man named Goodridge, was airested last Sunday for breaking into the office of the Gutsch Brewing Company, is oue of the most noto rious and wily crooks of his kind iu the country. Yesterday he was turned over to Sheriff Noel, of Peoria county, who has been wanting him badly for the last three years. "Ford," whose right name is AVilliam Idom, was arrested at Peoria three years ago for blowing open a safe in the office of the Burlington Road at that place. As the officers were taking him to jail he knocked one of them down, pushed another into a cellar way aud made his escape. He wasVifterward lound in St. Louis, switch ing on one of the roads. The railway officials determined to make sure of their man, and a whole posse of detectives was sent out to capture him. They found Idom on a freight car, which was standing on the river bank. The detectives surrounded the car and ordered him to throw up his hands. Instead, he plunged into the Mississippi, leaving the officers to empty their guns into the river. A few months ago Idom came to Chicago and entered the employ of the Northwest ern road as a switchman. Bar robberies became .frequent, and J. AV. Norton, chief of detectives for the Northwestern Com pany, began to suspect that Idom was in it. He had been watching Idom's movements for the past three weeks and finally arrested him last Sunday foi his connection with the brewery burglary. Chief Norton and the detectives of the other roads know considerable of Idom's history. He operated as a crook in London for years, graduating as a burglar and safe blower from one of the thieves' schools of that city. Coming to this coun try he began operations in the AVest under the guise of a switchman. The detectives say that Idom has organized and trained ganes of thieves at every place they have found him. He makes a specialty of railroad robberies and is believed to have been the leader in scores of car robberies and sale-blowing operations in Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis and various other places.

He Enters Two Houses and Crawls Eeneatn the Occupied Beds. THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD AXD BUBIED "Oh, what shall we do, whatshall we do? It's a maniac! He will kill some one! Oh, he's coming again," and a combination of feminine screams pierced the air in Carey alley, Southside, yesterday morning, that would have made a brave man's pulse stand still. There was a slamming of doors, the sound of voices, and the noise of scurrying feet in the house. In a moment the door was thrown open violently, and a man clad only in a nightshirt, his head done up in baud ages, and throwing his arms about in a wild manner, sallied lorth. Again the screams were heard as the man glided down the alley. The cause of all this uproar, which threw the residents of the unner Southside into a tremor of excitement, was the actions of a violent maniac mat naa escapeu irom me Southside Hospital. It was Patrick Lynch, a man who is more commouly known as "Paddy the Boxer." His homo is on South Sixth street. He was taken to the hospital last Tuesday. HE THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD. He was at times lucid and other times had horrible ravings. He was possessed of all sorts of wild hallucinations, the last of which was that he thought himself dead and buried. He appeared quiet yesterday and it was thought that his ravings were over, at least for a time. The nurse had just gone up stairs to attend to the wants of a patient in another ward, when some one called from below. He fairly flew down the stairs and when he entered the room, saw the door open. The eyes of the patients were all turned toward oue empty bed, with the clothes east about in disorder. Like a flash it crossed his mind that "Paddy the Boxer" had taken another fit and escaped. The nurse knew not whither the Boxer had gone. He looked up aud down the street, hut did not perceive the fleeing ma niac, who had skipped around the house, thus delaying pursuit. The nurse started in search of him.but the fleeing man, with the slynes3 of only such persons, made his escape from the hospital by a rear door, and running up Twenty second street and into Carey alley.stealthily opened the door of a bouse occupied by a family named Schneider. HID UNDER THE BED. How long he wandered about the unoc cupied part of the house is not known. At last he went into a room where a girl 15 years was sleeping and crawled under the bed. It is thought that he must have re mained there for half an hour. The girl awoke with a start, and hearing a noise in the room, commenced to investi gate. Ofcourse she first looked under the bed for a man, apd for once she was not dis appointed. There lay Lynch, breathing hard, as if sleeping or exhausted from his race. The girl's presence of mind, under the circumstances, was wonderful. Instead of screaming, she quietly went to the apart ments of her parents, and awakening them, told them of the intruder. When the parents reached the room. Lynch was gone. He had made his escape by a windovr, and his ghostly figure was seen speeding down the alley, and soon dis appeared. The next seen of Lynch was by a woman living at No. 1720 Corey alley. By climb ing up and over a back porch, he had by some means entered the house, and was attempting to crawl under the bed, when the woman awoke. She gave an unearthly scream. Her husband, who had just gone down stairs, heard the noise, and rushing back into the room, found Lynch crouching in a corner. RETURNED TO niS QUARTERS. By this time Lynch was nearly exhausted. The woman sought safer quarters, aud the man went after the poiice. Officer Brown was soon found, coming toward that end of his beat. He went to the house, and captur ing the man, took him back to the hospital. Lynch had been prowling about in his nightshirt for two hours. AVhen the officer was taking him back to the hospital be said: "Do you know 'Paddy, the Boxer?' " "Ob, yes," said Brown. "Well, poor Paddy, he's dead. Didn't you know that? He got into a fight, and was finally buried alive. But, say, if 'Paddy' is dead, how comes this? I feel alive and my name is Paady, isn't it? But, if I am Paddy, how came all the cloths on mv head and anas? 1 tell you, Paddy is dead aud buried, but who am I?" Officer Brown assured the poor man that he was still in the land of the living, and in short order had him back in the hospital and tucked into bed. The hospital nurse was pleased to think Lynch bad done nothing but frighten people. The assurance is given that he will not escape again, and it is hoped that bis hallucinations wili wear off.

The finances of the Province of Quebec is in what might be termed a deplorable condition. The Legis lature of that Province has just assembled, and with a population of less than 2,000,000, the Province is shown to possess a debt of something like 530,000,000. The Premier of the Province is now looking around to see where he can float a loan of some 3,000.000 to meet pressing liabil ities, but in view of the fact that it is cur rently stated that the Dominion Govern ment will have to come to the rescue oi Que bec, Mr. Mercier is not likely to find many eager speculators waiting to invest in the debentures he may have to offer. Between church and State the people of Quebec bear a heavier burden of taxation than those ot any other I'rovince iu the Dominion, and it is not surprising that within the past few years thousands of them have emigrated to the United States.

TROUP ijlTS BACK, The Lieutenant Flatly Denies Several of the Charges Stanley Has Made. NEVER SAW ANY LOG BOOK, The Explorer Charged With Haking Unwarranted Insinuations. DEATH OF BARTTELOT'S SLAYER. Official Record of the Coarl-Martial That Contlermed the Cliief. THE T0SE OP 0KITIC1S1I CHA5GIXO 'SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCBT.1 Boston, November 8. Mr. Stanley's de tailed charges against the officers of the rear guard, printed in The Dispatch this morning, has led Lieutenant Troup to make the following statement in his own defense. He said to-day to a Dispatch reporter: Mr. Stanley now specifies several acts of cruelty said to have been reported to him. Only two of these occurred during my resi dence in Yambuya Camp from August 11. 1SS7, to June S. IsSS. These were the shooting of a hoadanese soldier for deserting and stealing u rifle and ammunition, and the flogging of the interpreter, John Henry. The former of the'e events has been inaccuratclv stated by Mr. Stanley. The man was executed after a court-martial of all the officers had sat upon the case. I voted against it, but the majority condemned him. As re gards the flogging of John Henry, this oc curred while I was m my hut, where I was laid up by a serious illness for six weeks. At that time I v.as unable to do active duty, so was not consulted concerning the punishment, and was not presenLwheu it wa- inflicted. Major Bart tclotar.d Mr. Bonney were the odIv oiber offi cers in camp, and mv knowledge of the course of events was what I gathered from Mr. Bon nej'a conversation. HE SAW XO LOC BOOK. Mr. Stanley is reported to have said: "There is tho log book as it was given to me, with day after day the accounts of the most horrible pnmshments. The records arc signed by all the oflieer3." In denial of this. I assert that while in Yam buya Camp, there never was any log book, neither was there any document containing a recortl ot cruelties or other acts signed by me. I never Heard of any such thing as Mr. Stanley can produce. No signature of mine is to sacu book or document. He gives in "In Darkest Attica" extracts from a log book that was kept alter ihe departure of tho rear column from Yambuya. June II being Ihe first date. This was Legun after I was invalided home on June $, and 1 cannot be held responsible for anything contained tuurein. His inclusion of me in this acensation Is ont ragcons. Mr. Htanlev speaks of it being possi ble to prevent Major Barttelot's acts simply by Ilrmnos. Again he sajs a written protest would have had more force than a verbal one. and then adds that we ougat to have used per sonal violence, such as was used against a Con go otlicial, as described by Mr. Stanley. DENYING AN ACCUSATION. It is difficult to get from these varied state ments what ought to havebeen our co-arse ot action if events really happened as Mr. Stanley C escribes. He refers to Major Barttelot's rank in the British army and recognizes this by plac ing him in authority at Yambuya, yet be now' indicates that wo should hare acted in open mutiny and should have o ercome Major Bart telut by personal violence. Mr. Stanley's insin uation tht I was irtlni need by Major Bart telot's faunl not to disclose the affairs oi Yambnya is utterlv false. I had but ore interview, and that with Captain Barttelot. who called at my house jnst after I arrived in England. Mr. .Stanley's rep resentative, bir F. I. inton, wasai3o present. Mr. Stanley knons the truth ot this, and jet makes the "above insinuation, which I deny.it being as untrue as many other things Mr. Stan ley is reported as saving. The only other com munication with the family I had was when I wrote to ask for a photograph of the Major for my hook. As regards the other netty details ot personal ma tters. many nf which are entirely inaccurate, I do not deiire to enter into any controversy, but would refer Mr. Stanley to the statement? in the preface of my book. ACCUSINOSTANLEY OP DOUBLE DEALINO He condemns me with the others, itrnorin tbu fact that I was invalided homo on Jane 8. and that from the miutile of Anrit I was too ill to act as he asserts I did. Now we have the la mentable spectacle ot Mr. Stanley practically withdrawing from tho ground of basing insin uation upon my letters, saving instead that he has Mr. Bonney's authority for them. He says in his boon, and told me personally, that he had been unable to obtain any informa tion from Mr. Bunuey. This shifting and chang ing is verv remarkable. He desires now tj thresh the matter ont in a court ol law, bat he bad an opportunity of doing so last May. in connection with the injunction of my book, but rather than avail himself ot that, for some reason, he preferred to compromise the cae. paying mv costs that amounted to ahont S2.0GO. &I have delayed mr departure for Europe, la order to hear what further charges Mr. Stanley has to mike against me. but instead of bring ingany forward, he retracts almosall his for mer remarks against me. except those I now deny. As far as I am concerned, the contro versy should close now. xs Mr. Stanley has failed to bring forward any proof that I acted contrary to his written instructions. THE OFFICIAL DOCUMENT. Record of tho Comt Martial That Coo demned 3Tajor Barttelot's Mayer. TBY CABLE TO TUE DISPATCH. t London, November 8. The remarkable statement made by Mr. Stanley that the death of Major Barttelot was a case of "not of murder, Lutof killing," continues to be the subject of much comment here.
