William Bonney, who is the only living white officer of the rear column who is personally acquainted with all the terrible events connected with' the misfortunes at Yambnya Camp, has made the following signed statement: I regret very much that I am obliged to take part in the controversy which has arisen through the publication of Major Barttelot's dairies and tetters. The facts in my possession I have never told to any person except to Mr. Stanley, Walter G. Barttelot ana Mrs. Jame son, and I only told them because tbey asked for facts, and I thought they had a right to them. Had Mr. Barttelot not placed Mr. Stanley upon the defense, this would never nave been made public and I should not now be forced to con firm the painful circumstances connected with the rear column and the death of Major Bart telot. As it is, I will confine myself simply to the matter which is now before the public, and wiU refer only to those events to which I can testify from personal knowledge. I take up these matters in the order in which Mr. Stan ley has treated of them. Probing the Poisoning Story. I will first refer to the poisoning story. Mr. Stanley, in his statement, quoted two entries from the diaries of Major Barttelot, one of which, page 109, under date of November 21, 1SSS, u as follows: "Bonney and I talked about our probable action In tho event of Stanley doing certain things, and I expressed myself openJy" Tho other question is at page 170 of Major Bartte lot's diaries, under date of December 6, as fol lows: "After dinner Bonney and I walked again, and I referred to our conversation ot November 24. I made & determination never to partake of Stanley's hospitality while out here, as we had a private medicine chest. Jameson, in reference to our conversation of November 24, expressed his determination to act as I should also, to refuse Stanley's hospitality." Wondering "What Barttelot Sreant. Mr. Stanley's statement reads as though it was In Africa be first saw the foregoing entries. As a matter of fact, itwas Sunday, October 28, this year, after the publication of Barttelot's dia ries, that Stanley, reading these entries and wondering what they meant, asked me to tell him. What I told him was this: One of tho officers being in possession of Mr. Stanley's previous book, "The Dark Continent," exam ined some of the Arabs vho had accompanied Stanley on one expedition referred to in that vol ume, as to whether tho statements in it were correct that he, (Stanley) had paid Arabs so much money and given them so many trinke ts, etc. Another roan, a Zanzibar, was examined with regard to tno death of Mr. Focock, who v drowned upon that expedition, and an en U eat or was made by tho officer referred to, to find ont whether I'ocock had died in the man ner described by Stanley. Barttelot's Suspicions of Stanley. Major Barttelot then asked me: "Do you tbink Stanley is a palmer, a poisoner?" I re plied that many statements had gone abroad in Europe about Mr. Stanley's treatment of his white men, but nothing was ever proved against lum. Barttelot then remarked that he believed Stanley would poison any one if he got a chance, and that be should, therefore, decline to receiverStanley's hospitality for the future, as it would be dangerous. Jameson concurred in this, and said that for the future he would not receive Stanlej's hospitality. Regaiding tbe intention of Major Barttelot to poison Selim Ben Moutamco. nephew of TippoTib, and the latter's chief man, to which Stanley briefly refers, the circumstances oc curred this way: Determined to Poison Him. Barttelot had many disputes with Sellm, and the most bitter feeling existed between them. One day Barttelot came to me and a;ked if I had any tasteless poisons. I asked him why, what do you want with theniT" He replied: "1 am determined to poison Sellm." I said: "I will go and see." 1 went to the medicine chest, removed from it all dangerous drugs, bid them, and then went and told Barttelot what I had done. He said, half angnlj "Why did you do that?" I replied: "I have done so in order that the drugs may not get into dangerous hands." After thinking for a moment, he made a rush Tor a bottle of cyanide of potassium, which Jameson kept to destroy insects. Bringing it back, he said: "This will do: but then," he asked, as though the thought just struck him, is it tasteless'" I replied: "I don't know; why don't you try 7" "How would you mix it, in hot or cold water?" he asked. "Try it in warm." I replied; "it will dissolve more easily." TAhtlng the Poison. The quantity he put in was one-quarter of an ounce to three ounces of water. 1 advised him to taste it himself. He did so, and imme diately dropped the whole lot on the ground, spluttering and spitting the liquid out of his moutn, and at the same time he exclaimed: "No man could take that without knowing it was poison, it is so salt." This was the end of tbe incident, for the Major made no farther at tempt to poison Sclim. All these drugs to which I refer are now in my possession. The statement that Barttelot se.zed a woman and fastened his teeth into her flesh is quite tine, and the only mistake Mr. Stanley makes is that it was into tbe woman's oheek, and not into her shoulder that Major Barttelot fastened his teeth. Saving Barttelot's Life. This was one of the occasions upon which I saved tbe life of Major Barttelot, for he would have died with his teeth in the woman's face 1 ad I not beaten off the crowd of enraged na tives who started to attack the Major with their cudgels. I bear upon my forehead a scar I received in the fierce fight that followed, and have others which (bow how nearly we both lost our lives. It u perfectly true that Barttelot was. is the habit of standing before the natives showing his teeth and trying to frighten them by grin ing at them like a fiend. It is also true that he ran about the camp prodding people with a steel pointed staff and hitting everything about him. About tho boy Sondi. there is not the slightest doubt ba died from the effects of a kick in the leg given by Barttelot. Little Sondi was a sturdy chap and very clever. The Major's Fiendish Brutality. On several occasions before he receivod the fatal kick, I saw Barttelot stand before the boy, calling him names, showing his teeth and dis torting his face. He would turn to me and say: "Now did you ever see such a scoundrel?" and would make other remarks, and then re sume his antics. All this time the boy would stand motionless before him, with eyes down cast, thoroughly submissive. On one occasion he finished np by hitting tbe little fellow a terrific blow on the forehead with a stick, which raised a lump almost as big as a door knob. On the day before the killing of Barttelot, that is the 10th of July, 1SS8. ho gave tbe little lad the kick from which he never recovered. It is quite true, as Walter Barttelot says that Sondi died after Barttelot's death, but it is equally true that the boy died from the ef fects of tho kick, as gangrene set in. and from this the lad died. I now come to the case of John Henry, the mission boy, who died from the effects of a flocglng ordered by Barttelot. Walter Bart telott says John Henry had been ordered to be shot, but that this punishment was remitted by the Major and flogging substituted at tho request of Bonney. This is only partly true. Tho Killing of John Henry. John Henry could speak English, Arabic and the Zanzibar language. He went with Barttelot iu ordei to act as interpreter between that officer and Tippoo Tib. On the road back from the visit to Tippoo Tib, Barttelot flogged Henry severely and left him on the road. He forgot that he left his revolver with the boy. John Henry being afraid to return to camp, went to his native village and sold Barttelot's revolver for food. He did not desert as has been stated, but Barttelot sent a Soudanese guard after him, and he was brought back to the camp and placed In the guard room. Iu talking with me, Barttelot said: "John lienry is a dangerous man and I will shoot him." I thought he was joking at first, but finding be was serious, I took tbe matter up and pointed out to tbe Major that we were short of men; that this man was useful, and that as he (the Major) could not speak a word of the language, that we could ill spare Hnnry. He said: -If I don't shoot mm 1 will cut his ears off." I replied: "What will people in Europe think of that? Would you like to read the account of this in tbe papers?" He said he would not, ana then we discussed the question as to what should be done. I pleaded for the man, but, after three days' discussion, the Major decided that Henry should have 100 lashes, nothing less. Scaring the Poor Victim. On Sunday, when, as was .my custom, I was sending for men for the purpose of calling the roll, Barttelot marched Henry out of the guard room and said to me: "I am going to tell Henry to prepare for death, as he is going to be shot." I said: "Do you mean to shoot him? I thought we had decided not to do so." He replied: "No, I am not going to shoot him, but I want to make him believe that 1 am." "Whv make him believe that lie is to die," I remonstrated, "if you don't intend to shoot him? ' To this Baritelot made no reply, hut calling nenryup, told him in the presence of the whole garrison to prepare for deatb at day light the next morning. Then under the Soudane-e escort, he marched the prisoner back to the guard house. The garrison w as astonished at the order that tbe negro was to be shot, and the moment that the Major went away, the men showed their excitement and astonishment and came to me to speak on be half of tho man whom they supposed to be con demned. Natives Threaten to Desert. Scores of them crow ded about me, all talk ing at the same time in tones of the greatest excitement. I asked them to be quiet and let one of their number speak. A spokesman was selected, and he stated that if Major Barttelot shot John Henry tbey would all desert. I replied to them that if the man did wrong he must be punished; that it was for tbe master to say what his punishment should be, I told them it was not tbeir place to inter fere, and that they had better leave it to me and go away quietly. They did so. I then went and told Major Barttelot what tbe men hud said, and pointed out how foolish it was to make threlts which hii did riot Intend to tarry out. He replied: "Then. . I will givo him' 30U lashes, and nothing will induce me to alter this decision." On tbe following morning at daylight Henry was marched out and tied to a-post. Four big Soudanese, not one of them tinder six feet in height, were selected to administer the punish ment. A Scene of Horror. Each man was to deliver 75 lashes. Henry never nttered a sound after the first 30 lashes, as he became insensible to pain. This scene was the most terrible I ever saw. Mortification set in; the man's flesh fell off in pieces on to the ground and his body swelled to twice its or dinary size. Witbin 24 hours Henry died. An event which Mr. Stanley does no refer to, was the stabbing or tbe Chief TJngunga by Major Barttelot. This was on the occasion re ferred to by Walter Barttelot in his book, where it is stated that I captnred eight women and a child in order to open up trade with tho native tribes. This is correct. I captured tho women and child and had succeeded in ex changing four of these women for 32 fowls, some fish and palm oil, when Major Barttelot interrupted my trading. The Chief Unguuga was sitting down with mo and we were all laughing at the bargains. I was trying to get as much as possible for each woman and utmost good nature prevailed. Suddenly Major Barttelot came up and withont a word he drew his pocket knife and stabbed TJngunga In tbe shoulder. Confusion followed, and I at once released tbe other four women and cave them back. Lieutenant Troup can testify to the truth of this statement. Two days after this TJngunga came to me in secret to have his wounds dressed. This I did. The Killing of Barttelot. In order to completely understand the cir cumstances under which Barttelot was killed, it is necessary to connect the various painful incidents which have been related and to record some other facts which have not yet been told. It was on July 15, 18S8. that I en tered the village in which the Major was sub sequently killed. I was made a present of a horse, and Abdullah Koroni, the chief of the village, gave me quantities ot rice and other things to eat, and there was the best feeling all around. Everything was quiet for two days. On tbe 17th Major Barttelot came into the village; I had not seen him since tbe 23d of June, when he had left me in the forest, taking 14 carriers and leaving me 11 extra loads. He went to Stanley Falls on the date mentioned because the men w ere running away, owing to his cruel ties, and it was necessary for him to get new people. This was the occasion when he canght at Stanley Falls the chains for the slaves which he intended to secure. After Major Barttelot left me there was not a single desertion, and 1 say this, notwithstanding the fact that my log has been quoted to show that desertions still continued, for from the time tbe Major left me I had not lost a single man. 1 found the way which had been lost by Major Barttelot, and got to the village on July 15. "Working Up His Own Pate. As soon as Major Barttelot arrived, on the 17th. the good feeling which had previously ex lsted disappeared. Tbe moment he entered the village he demanded of the chief 60 slaves to be delivered within four days, and bananas, palm oil, etc at once. The chief said that he couldn't get bananas or palm oil and that all the people had run away because of so many strangers being in the village. Major Barttleot abused the chief and said that If he did not get what he demanded he would order his men to eat up everythinc they could find in the village and destroy the remainder when they left. This was tbe beginning of tho Ill-feeling which culminated in Barttelot's death. It was on the ISth that Sondi received the fatal kick and I saved the Major's lifo when he bit the Manyema woman, and it was on the night of that same day that be killed the Manevma. the comrade of Sanga. This man Barttelot prodded quite 30 times with his steel pointed cypress staff. Beating a Native's Brains Out. He finished up by beating the man's brains out before the eyes of all in tbe village. Tho scene which followed was like that which occurred when be bit the woman, and again I had to fight to save Barttelot's life. It was only bv knocking him aown myself that the natives held hack, for then tbey thought I meant to punish him. Major Barttelot's reasons for killing the man as he did were that he be lieved him to be tbe native who had shot at him and myself while we were sitting in my house the night before. I must say that Barttelot was obliged to live in my house because neither the chief of the village nor any of the natives would give him a house of bis own to 11 ve in, and it is necessary to state that there wa no evidence whatever to prove that the man wlium Barttelot prodded and killed was really the native who had tired the shot. During all that night of the 18th, as on tbe previous night, the firing of guns wus going on all over the village as .an expression of the. hatred in which Barttelot vat held, and the only wonder is we were not both killed. This was the condition of affairs on the morning of the 19th when Barttelot, unable to stop the noise and tbe beating of drums, issued frotn the house and was shot. I was myself at the moment going about the village attempting to ?uell the disturbance, and was not 10 yards rom tho Major when he fell. Not an Eye Witness of the Tragedy. Though I did not myself see Major Barttelot fall, there is no question as to how be died and why. Tho description given by Stanley in his statement regarding the circumstances of the shooting are correct, with the exception ot the reference to the steel-pointed cypress staff. Barttelot did not have the staff on that morn ing and did not therefore stab the woman with it, hut he did beat her with bis first, and be did kick her, and he had his loaded revolver in his hand, as stated by Stanley. I join issue with Stanley with regard to the Soudanese soldier.Burgon Mohammed,wbo was shot in February, IbSS, by, 12 of his own men, in tbe presence of the whole garrison, at Yam bnya. He was shot by order of court martial, properly convened by the commander of the garrison. The members were Barttelot, Presi dent Jampson, Troup. Ward, and myself. The previous character of the prisoner was proven to be bad by the non-commissioned officers in charge of the Soudanese and by several com panions. He bad at different times been punished for deserting his post when on sentry duty; for stealing an ax; for threatening to shoot his commanding officer; for stealing the rifle ammunition belt of a companion; for breaking into the fort after dark and lying in ambush for the purpose of shooting Barttelot; for breaking into Ward's house and stealing half a goat and hiding it in the roof of his house and throwing the blame on another man. Sentenced to Bo Shot. His rifle was loaded when he entered Ward's house, and he would doubtless havo shot any one who disturbed him. After hearing the evidence the court sentenced him to be shot, and the sentence was carried out by the men who brought his guilt to light Stanley's statement regarding the projects of Barttelot to start an expedition of his own are entirely correct. It was after his revela tion of one of these projects that I attempted to get Troup and Ward to co-operate with me in demanding an explanation of the proposed expedition. 1 stated to them that if anything of the kind came to a head I would opposo it, if I bad to get the help of the Arabs, and I would not allow a box of ammunition to go in any direction except in that decided upon by Stanley. Neither Troup nor Ward made any response to this. In fact, Troup had already volunteered to care for the goods which Bart telot proposed to leave behind him. Stanley made a slight verbal error in connec tion with one of these proposed expeditions where he sas that the object was to goto TJnyoro via Ujiji. The destination of this ex pedition was intended to be through TJnyoro to Xibers, where Captain Casatio was supposed to be. Barttelot said he believed Stanley to be dead or besieged. Jameson did not think that Stanley was dead, but believed he was besieged or following them to the coast. Did Not Believe Stanley Dead. There was, however, no reason to believe Stanley dead, though Stanley states in his book that I thought he was dead. I never did think so and never said so. Stanley has said in his book that I lacked initiative. Whathe meanslsthat I ought to have taken Major Barttelot, bound him and sent him away. In his statement Mr. Stanley expresses his opinion that violence' shoulihave been used, if necessary, to stop the proceedings of Major Barttelot; but, speaking for myself, I can only say that I am pleased that Barttelot's blood is not on my hands to-day, as would have been the case had I attempted to do what Stanley suggests. Barttelot was bated, so execrated by every black man in the camp, that if 1 had over powered him and bound him, the whole gar rison would have lost their heads with joy, and the moment ho had passed out of my hands ou the way to the coast, the men would have torn him limb from limb. I would have been re sponsible for Barttelot's deatb, and 1 prefer that Stanley should charge me with lacking initiative rather than have that more serious responsibility.laid against me. Stanley suggests that we might have done much by combined action, and I am willing to admit that by combined action we might per haps have prevented the extremes to which Barttelot went. But thero were many reasons why combined action was impossible. Nothing Could Stop Barttelot. I wish to be perfectly frank and say that the strained relations existing between some of the officers bad much tq do with this state of affairs. There is no ttsegoiuglntodetaluinthlsrespe'ci' but I" cannot agree with Stanley that a written protest of any single officer would have had tne desired effect upon Barttelot. It is as certain as that I am writing this, that officers who would have dared to write to Barttelot, as Stan ley suggests, would have been marked men. It was not a slight matter to incur the dislike of Barttelot. Coming to the Jameson story, there can be no doubt about tho absolute correctness of Stan ley's statement. Witnesses have sworn to it. Jameson's servants told the story to tbe whole garrison, and Jameson himself related to me everyincident as described byStanley. In fact, the only discrepency I find is that my notes say that Jameson paid six cotton handkerchiefs for the girl who was to be taken, instead of 12, Mr. Jameson showed me the sketches describ ing the scene in detail. I cannot now describe each of the six sketches, but they began with a picture of the girl being broughtdown and tied by one hand to the native, who holds in his right hand tbe fatal knife. Becalllng Another Horror. He is then "represented thrusting the kuifo into the girl, while the blood is seen spurting out. Then there is the scene of the carving up of the girl, limb by limb, and of the natives scrambling for the pieces and running away to cook them; and the final sketch represents tho feast. These sketches are now, or were until very recently, in the hands of Mrs. Jameson. Amorg the witnesses, were Assad Faran, the interpreter, who has sworn to the facts. I la9t saw Assad Faran in Cairo, when he came up to me and wished to talk about tbe matter, but I told him that I did not wish to say anything about it to hun. Ihe story had cone to private parties in England, and every one thought it best to keep it as quiet as pos sible. At all events, I did not wish to mix my self up with it, if I could avoid it, Walter Barttelot will now understand what I meant when I asked him not to pull his brother out of the grave and that he should not publish Barttelot's diaries. It wonld be premature, however, to say that Walter Bartte lot was ignorant of these facts wben he pub lished his book and brought bis charges against Stanley, because when he came to me and asked me if there were any reasons why they should not be published and whether any facts were hidden which reflected on his brother, I told him nearly everything that I have stated above.and he cannot claim that he was ignorant of the charges against his brother. There are, however, statements in these diaries which he does not understand. Suppressing Tarts of the Diary. Unfortunately, he has seen fit to suppress parts of Barttelot's diary and parts of the let ters. Had he published Barttelot's diaries and letters in full they would, I am certain, havo thrown much light on this subject, I do not think that anybody reading this story of the actions of Major Barttelot, can doubt that ho was not in bis right mind. I believe now, and I believed then, that he was insane, and it would have been better if bis friends, who knew the circumstances, bad placed this char itable construction upon his actions. 1 told Walter Barttelot that 1 believed his brother was insane, and so far back as August 18. 1881, 1 wrote from tbe Arab village of Ban alyato to Sir Walter Barttelot tne full circum stances, and concluded my letter with these words; '"After reviewing tbe Major's conduct and the way he would stand and stare at peo ple and then call tbem names, then show his teeth, etc, I must determiue him to be of un sound mind." Walter Barttelot has thought fit to publish part of tbis letter, but if he will publish tbe parts he has suppressed, it will be shown that he was not ignorant of the actions of Major Barttelot. Fault has been found with Stanley that his statement was hearsay; that he only related things that he had been told. Consid ering that Stanley was not with the rear column, of course he had been told, but be certainly has said no more than tbe truth, and not more than can be proved by documents and by oatbs of personal witnesses. I do not wish to defend Stanley. 1 am not beholden to him, nor to anybody else in this matter. But the public have demanded the truth, ana 1 consider it my duty to give those facts which have come within my own knowl edge. Nearly all the statements I have made above weru made by me in writing from day to day as tbey occurred, and they are now in Stanley's possession. William Bonney, SPOILS OF THE DEEP.

Armfuls of flowers, sympathetic speeohes and a parade of 2,000 sorrowing friends marked the cele bration to-day of the thir.il anniversary of the execution of the Anarchists, Spies, Parsons, Engel and Fischer. Decorum characterized all ths exercises. The speeches, in comparison with old-time fiery utterances, were mild almost to tameness. The leaden November sky and the cold wind that came sweeping across the prairie seemed to decrease the ardor of the agita tors. At 11 o'clock tbe various enthusiastic organizations began to gather at the corner of Market and "Washington streets and at 12 the procession took up its line of march for the "Wisconsin Central depot. THBOUOH THE HEART OP CHICAGO. Eight through the heatt of the city the parade passed, up Market to Lake, thence to State, thence to Van Buren, thence to Fifth avenue and the depots, with banners furled and draped and with bands playing dirges. The following organizations participated: The "Woman's La Salle Association, headed by the "West Chicago Union No. 1 Band and the Arbeiter Bund, the Workingmen's Educational Society, the Hodcarriers' Pro tective Aid Association, the Metal Workers' Union, tho Cornice Makers' Union, Typographical No. 9, Furniture "Workers Union No. 1, Turnverein "Balm. Freit," Carpenters Union No. 1, headed by the Northwestern Band, the Stair Build ers Union, the Social Union, the Aurora Turners, the Free Thiukeru Society and the A. It. Parsons Assembly. OFF FOR THE CEMETERY. All in the procession boarded a special train with some hundreds of others and after a tedious hour's ride were at cemetery. As soon as Waldheim wasi reached the pro cession iormed again and marched to the graves. Each society as it passed deposited upon the mounds its floral offering until the last resting place of the five Anarchists was piled high with floral designs of all sorts and was one mass of red and white flowers. Conspicuous among the designs was a floral gibbet from the Woman'a LaSalle Society. This ceremony completed and the draped and furled banners having been planted about the grave, the crowd gathered in front of a small enclosure to the left, in the center of which had been placed a small table to serve as a platform for the speakers. FLOW OF ORATORY. George Schmeidinger inaugurated the flow of oratory with a short address in Ger man. He said the purpose of the assem blage was to commemorate the "murder of their comrades" by the machinery of cap ital. This sentiment vras received with demonstrations of approval. Mr. Schmeidinger introduced the United Singing Society, and after a siege of doleful vocalization. L. S. Oliver, of Chicago, in the absence of a New Torker advertised to appear, was pressed into service as the chief English sneaker ot ,tho occasion. Mr. Oliver, tbousrH evidently chilled "through and through by the raw gale that whistled among the gravestones, began with the ex clamation: "This is the happiest moment of my life." FISCHER'S EEMARK. It was remarked by Fischer, one of the executed Anarchists on the scaffold, and its appropriation by Mr. Oliver elicited a cheer. The speaker went on t.3 explain that his happiness was in "doini' honor to the brave boys buried yonder." Me continued: The inhuman act tbat brings tbis crowd to Waldheim to do reverence to their memory will never be forgotten. From the ashes of that tomb will ever ring the cries of despair that will be beard across the briny deep and will shake the globe from pole to pole. The memory ot those noble dead will stir the labor ing man to do and dare, and when that time comes lot somebody beware. Though scaffolds and gibbets were built ?t every crossroad, let us have courazc, comrades. Onward! Are wo men and have not courage to rise against these hell-born monsters of despotism? Mr. Oliver then recited au original poem. Again there was singing by the chorus and music from one of the brass bauds in at tendance. SEW TORE 13 IIEABD FROM. Moritz Scbultz, of New York, followed in a German address and was frequently in terrupted by applause. He, like the pro ceeding speakers, reminded the audience what was the occasion of the gathering, de claring that they had come to honor men who had fallen in a struggle against false laws. The five illustrious dead had strug gled for principle. H. F. Bartholomew succeeded Mr. Schultz. He said: Our five heroes were sacrificed on the alter of necessity. Yes; I believe that tbe execution of these apostles of a higher civilization was necessary. Truth comes through pain, and tho blood of martyrs is its seal, who can measure tbe influence of this eveut? The ex citement over the assassination of Lincoln was as nothing in comparison with it. Mr. Bar tholomew took the ground that every man. or woman who celebrates the Fourth of July is an Anarchist,because the Constitution admits the right of the individual. EULOGIZING THE DEAD. The speaker concluded by eulogizing the dead Anarchists as new John Browns. Jacob Mikanddar now attempted to ad dress the crowd in Danish, but his audience rapidly left him and the celebration was at au end. Mrs. Parsons' home, a cottage on Dia mond avenue, was decorated before daylight this morning with a large red flag attached to a staff on the roof. A man named Lacher, who boards in the house, had placed the flag in position. A policeman jumped upon Mrs. Parsons' house, pulled down the red flag and took the fiery, emblem to the police station.

It reads: Will you kindly inform me. as I havo no other source of information, whether or not the reward for "Willie Tascott" still holds good If so, why is be not forthcoming, as it is a known fact tbat he is with in easy reach of tne Chicago authori ties? AVhy is one man allowed to handle so important a case, and since he has entire con trol have we had no developments? I wish it understood tbat myself and husband are anxious for developments, as three years have nearly expired since our friend and father was foully murdered. Mrs. Albert J. Snell. "Is Tascott within reach of the police?" Mrs. Snell was asked. "I know that an Italian came to my husband and told him that he knew that Tascott was employed at a place less than 35 miles (rom Chicago. So far as we know, no effort "''was made to substantiate or dis-prove-the man's statement." "Do you think Tascott is the murderer?" "I am not prepared to answer that ques tion. I know, however, that the boy's name was dragged before the public on the theory that. the crime was committed by burglars." Mrs. Snell said that a man who knew the combination opened the safe on the night of the murder, and she was positive that Tas cott did not possess tbat knowledge. In a guarded way, Mrs. Snell left it to be in ferred that somebody who was intimately acquainted with the old millionaire and knew tbe value oi the papers the safe con tained, committed the murder. THE TALE OF A COAT. An Albany Drummer Gets Into Trouble for Trying to Appropriate One. rSF&ClAT. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.: New York, November 9. George Gibson, &n Albany commercial traveler, came out of Delmonico's cafe with his hat on and presented a check for an overcoat. John McGreevy handed him the handsome coat the check called for, but saw at once that he was not the man who had handed thatovercoatin. So he sent into the cafe and had the man who hand ed him the overcoat called out. "Isn't that your coat," said McGreevy, pointing to the coat Gibson was putting on. "Yes, it is," said the man, "ind what is tbat man putting it on for?" Then McGreevy asked Gibson to take the coat off. Gibson insisted that it was his, and an officer was called. The coat was returned to its owner and Gibson spent the night in the station house. In Jefferson Market police court this morning he explained that he had gone into the cafe and had bung his coat up, that he had slipped into the toilet room for a moment and when he re turned the coat was gone, but a check lay on the floor near where he was sitting. He took it tor granted that it was the check for his coat, and when he went out presented it. He was held in $300 bail to answer a charge of petit larceny. '-TARIFF IN GERMANY. The Treasuries of the Different States Ovcr jp 'flowing With. Money. BURLm, Tbveinbef 9. In1 spiteof the increased' expenditure of the army and navy for the higher salaries of officials and for the development of the colonial policy of the Government, the treasuries of the Empire and of the different States composing the German confederation are overflowing with money, in consequence df the immense increase in the customs rev enues derived by the high tariff on meat and breadstuff j. A surplus amounting to 300,000,000 marks will be divided between the States of the confederation at the end of tbe year. This fact is used as a pretext for assailing the high tariff on brcadstnffs and meats, and the Liberals, at the forthcoming session of the Reichstag, intend to argue that the country is too poor to allow the Treasury to derive a surplus from such un constitutional ovcr-taxjtion at a time when a majority of the people are forced to forego meat diet and subsist on bad flour. THREE THTJGS CAPTURED. Their Brutal Treatment of Two Cashiers Lands Them in Limbo. Chicago, November 9. In the presence of a score of people John Bohinson and Emil Aim, the cashiers of a Swedish danc ing party, were terribly beaten and robbed at daylight this morning by three members of a gang of desperate hoodlums known as the Wesson street gang. The assault oc curred on the edge of a locality known as "Little Hell," and people who witnessed the assault were deterred from interfering by dread of the vengeance of the gang. The trio of assailants are named Joseph Wright, Martin Noel and John McCarthy. AU three were arrested later in a low gin "mill. It was found that during the night they had beaten a number of persons apparently out of sheer deviltry. Other robberies had been committed by the three, but up to the meeting with Robinson and Aim these operations had been confined tn contents of beer pails going to the poverty-stricken houses in tbe neighborhood. BURNED TO DEATH. Terrible Pate of a New Jersey Woman While Lighting a Fire. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUE DISPATCH, Rutherford, N. J., November 9. Mrs. Frederick Perkins, of South Rutherford, feeling restless this morning, at 3:30 went down stairs to start a fire in the stove. After using a match, she threw it still lighted on the floor, where it fell on a piece of paper, which blazed up and set fire to her night clothes. She ran screaming upstairs to the room where her husband was sleeping. He, awakened by her cries, caught up a blanket and tried to smother the flames, but his ef forts were useless, as the lire had already burned nearly every stitch of her clothing. Dr. H. H, Holester was immediately summoned, but she was beyond medical as sistance, dying after relating how the acci dent happened. The house caught fire, but the flames were soon put out. Mrs. Perkins was the mother of five children. FEDERATION STRONGLY TAVORED. Brotherhood Ballway Trainmen In the West Hold a Sleeting. Sedalia, Mo., November 9. Represen tatives from all the Brotherhood of Railway .Trainmen on the Missouri Pacific and Mis souri Kansas and Texas railways held a meeting here to-day with closed doors. The meeting was for the purpose of discussing the practicability of system and national federations. Among the many prominent men who addressed the meeting were George W.

He is in No Haste to Name the Mem bers of His Cabinet, and Will CONSULT HARRITI AND DENSEL. Democrats Suspected of Treachery to he Promptlj Bonnced. , ECHOES OF LAST TUESDAi'S CONTEST (SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Philadelphia, November 9. Governor-elect Pattison spent a quiet day at his home in "West Philadelphia to-day, where he was visited by several of his iptimate friends. In tpite of his having gained con siderable in weight while making the tour oi the State during the campaign just ended Mr. Pattison is at this time suffering severe ly from the effects of his hard work during the closing weeks of the struggle. When questioned regarding the rumors that he had already selected some of the members of his Cabinet the Governor-elect replied: "I have not as yet given the subject a moment's consideration. Just now Iam simply recuperating from the effects of the hard work of the closing weeks of the cam paign. I am not in any humor to make my selections of the Cabinet officers, and there is plenty of time for consideration of tbat subject." A conference to-dat. Ex-Postmaster William F. Harrity and ex-State Chairman William W. Hensel, both of whom figured prominently iu the State fight which has reunited in the election of Mr. Pattison, will to-morrow meet the Governor-elect and confer with him regarding affairs of State. Messrs. Harrity and Hen sel, prior to the celebrated Belfevue Hotel conference, were not at all friendly to the nomination of Mr. Pattison, bat when it was deemed the best policy to put the ex Governor at the head of the State ticket they went to work with a will in his favor and he was given the nomination. Tne Governor-elect appreciates their labor in his behalf, and the two ex-State Chair men, if not made members ot the official family, will be consulted when the selections are being made. State Chairman Kerr, who receives considerable credit for the Pattison victory, is spoken of as likely to be made a member of the coming Cabinet. Some of Mr. Kerr's close friends are op posed to his acceptance of any position in public life other than that now held by him at the head of the party organization, be cause they feel that he can by continuous work-in bis present position so gain the affection of his people that he can be named for Governor in 1894. LIVELY TIMES AHEAD. Lively times are looked for at to-morrow night's meeting of the Democratic Commit tee when tbe resolutions are presented call ing for the expulsion of Messrs. McMullen, of the Fourth ward, and Monroe, of the Third ward, from the main body of the party's local organization. Among the active party workers the subject of the ex pulsion of the men named overshadowed the Democratic victory, so great is the feeling upon the subject. At the several different Democratic club rooms to-day there was but one expression of opinion among the active members, namely, that every member of the citv committee who has by direction or indirec tion contributed to the lessening of Governor-elect Pattison's majority should be forced to leave the organization. Amonsr the conservative membefsof theparty there" is tear or too nasty action, but in every case the conservatives are in a hopeless minority. The "hustlers" feel that there is victory in the air for the party in lej)2, and they are more than anxious to have "traders and cut ters" driven from the fold. A LAST WORD WITH QUAY. Collector of Internal Revenue Dave Martin, who is recognized as one of Quays shrewdest lieutenants, hied himself to "Washington to have a chat with the junior Senator prior to his leaving for Florida. When the results of the State election be came known at this end of the line the dapper collector, who had banked upon a Delamater victory, was almost completely knocked out, so great was his surprise, but when the returns from the several States outside of Pennsylvania reached him he comforted himself with the thought that it was a national landslide and that the Phila delphia Republican majority is something to be proud of. When questioned regarding his chat with Senator Quay, Collector Martin, with a knowing wink and a pleasant smile, said: "I ran down to Washington to see the Sen ator off for Florida, where he will remain for a few weeks. Of course, I would have been better pleased had the fight gone our way, but it is the fortune of war, aud we must take it. Quay was looking well, con sidering the character of the State contest, and I am sure he will be all right when he returns." TALK OF TRADING VOTES. now Schemers May Propose to Arrange for tho Next Speaker. Washingtok, November 9. "With the return of members of Congress to the city the contest for the Speakership of tbe next House begins to assume local interest and importance. The fight for the position will be warm during the coming winter, and will undoubtedly have its effect even on the de liberations of tbe present House of Repre sentatives. The most interesting phase of the discussion at this time is the re lation of the question to tbe contest for the Democratic nomination for the Presi dency in 1892. One of the current bits of gossip is tbat an alliance may be formed be tween the East and the West in the Speaker ship contest, with a view to an arrangement for the Presidental nomination. Prominent Democrats now in the city say tbat Demo cratic strength in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, West Virginia, part of Pennsylvania and part of Virginia can be thrown for a Western candidate for the Speakership in exchange for "Western votes for an Eastern candidate for the Presi dental nomination. Governor Abbott, of New Jersey; ex-Governor Black, of Pennsylvania; Senator Bar bour, of Virginia, and Senator Gorman, of Maryland, are counted as favorable to snch au alliance. In this combination the can didates for the Presidency most spoken of are Whitney and Hill; whilelt is current gossip that friends of Cleveland and Patti son in the East may form an alliance for the election of a Southern candidate for Speaker in exchange for Southern votes in the Democratic National Convention.

QUAY'S RESIGNATION. MEETING OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER IT. There Will be a Row About the Dispo sition of the l'amls Collected Secretary Frank Willing Leach Likely to Get Into Trouble. rsrXCIAI. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Washington, November 9. It is under stood that a meeting of the Republican Na tional Committee will be called in the next two or three weeks to consider the im pending resignation of Chairman Quay and certain other interesting matters. A lively time is to be expected at the meeting. Aside from the great disappointment in regard to the results of the late election there is a general feeling of dissatisfaction in the cummuiee reierence to tne use to wuicu cer- tain moneys collected for the benefit of tht. campaign at large were applied. So far as Quay's resignation is concerned, it is understood he now wishes to create the impression that he intended from the first to resign the Chairmanship at this time when the election was over. In this way he will try to make it appear tbat he has not been forced ont. The other matter, however, promises to develop some elements of serious controversy. It appears that Mr. Frank Willing Leach, one of the secretaries of the Republican National Com mittee, sent out a number of circulars to party contributors, which were promptly responded to. When the Congressional Committee got wind of this, its members made considerable fnss and desired to know upon what authority these funds were col lected. One of the principal reasons given for the proposed change in the chairman ship is the fact tbat Mr. Leach was per mitted to run the committee and issue cir culars of assessment without any authority from the committee as a whole. Mr. Leach told the members that he was acting under tbe direction of the chairman, and at the time they contented themselves with expressing their disapproval of his course. The members of the Congressional Committee manifested much bad feeling about tbe matter daring the campaign, de claring tbat whatever money was thus col lected by the National Committee must have been sent into Pennsylvania, as they had received none of it, and that it ought to have been fairly distributed. The subject will be thoroughly ventilated, doubtless at the next meeting of tbe National Com mittee. F0R HARRISON'S CABINET. Beporta That Congressman Evans Will Suc ceed Secretary Tracy. Chattanooga, Tenn., November 9. The Times will publish to-morrow morning that Hon. IL Clay Evans, the present Con gressman from this district and defeated by the Democratic nominee last Tuesday, will bea member of President Harrison's Cabinet, succeeding Secretary of the Navy Tracy, who will be tendered the seat on the bench ot tbe United States Supreme Court made vacant by the death of Justice Miller. A HALT IS CALLED. PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY THE IRISH RELIEF COMMITTEE. The Appeal to the American People Tempo rarily Withdrawn A Consultation "IVitU . Erin'aEnvoys Led to the Action England Pledged to Lend Assistance. New YORK,November 9. The American Committee for the Relief of Famine in Ire land issues the icllowing public statement: The American Committee for the Relief of Famine in Ireland temporarily withdraws its appeal to the American people. At the time tbat tbat appeal was Issued there was no reason for believing that tbe distress which would follow the failure of the potato crop in Ireland would be relieved otherwise than by American generosity. No steps had been taken by the British Government to meet the crisis. The first effect of the action of tbe American committee nras to provoke unchristian and flippant denials by the English Tory press that distress existed or that famine was threatened. Nevertheless, tbe developments of the past month have fully confirmed, tbe warning of impending calamity put forth in tbe American committee's appeal. But while the physical situation in distressed Irelandhas not altered, there has been provided tbe promise, at least, of relief which will be ad equate even to the dire nature of tbe distress which is at band. Tbe British Government has been spurred, first, to Investigate, through its Chief Secretary for Ireland, the danger wbich threatened tbe lives ot its people, and, second, to undertake a system of public works in tbe distressed districts, which, by affording partial re relief, will at least postpone tbe invasion of tbe demon of famine. The committee his good reason for believing tbat this sudden activity on tbe part of the British Government is largely due to tbe prompt sympatby and support spontaneously offered from this coun try, and the committee accordingly congratu lates the American people on having secured for tbe sufferers in Ireland a substantial hope of relief without tho expenditure of a dollar. Under tbee changed circumstances, and inas much as the British Government is now pledged to prevent uistress coming to tne lrisn people, tbe American committee is of tbe opinion tbat there may be no need of sending food and clothing to Ireland from America. Tbis conclusion is reached after friendly consultation with tbe representatives of tbe Irish people now in America. The committee is in no way concerned in the political mission of tbe envoys to tbis country. The sole pur pose of tbe committee lias been to feed the starving and to clothe tbe naked. It Is rep resented by the visiting Irish envoys that it would introduce an interfering element into Irish politics if aid in any shape should be sent to Ireland by any chari table agency beforethe present resources of the imperiled peasants were exhausted. The situ ation of political parties in Ireland Is pe culiar, and tbe committee is strenuous ly anxious to avoid creating new compli cations by interference of any sort. These representations of the accred ited envoys of tbe Irish people are therefore entitled to consideration so long as there is no Immediate danger of actual suffering by famine. When tbat point is reached, if it does come, the committee will, with the fullest ap proval and co-operation of the Irish leaders, renew its appeal and trust to the generosity of the American public to carry on an adequate relief movement. Tho crisis will come about the close of the year. It will tben be apparent whether tbe pledges ot the British Government are to be kept and whether tbe relief measures to be pro vided under its auspices will be adequate. Tbe committee will accordingly maintain its organi zation, so that it may act at once If events re quire. A HIDEOUS DISCOVERY. Two Boys Find a 3Ian Hanging by tho Neck Over a Dark Pool. rSTZClAL TELEOEAM TO THE DISPATCn.1 Philadelphia, November 9.

Frightened by the hideous sight, they ran to the Black Horse Hotel and ac quainted Mr. Shaw with what they had seen. The man was respectably dressed, and about 55 years old. The body was cut down, and recognized as Stokes H. Wilkins, a man who had been employed by Mr. Huey, and afterward by Mr. Keely, who lives close by, as coachman. Mr. Keely repre sents him as an honest man, but addicted to drink, which caused his discharge. He was last seen in the neighborhood Saturday carrying something wrapped in a news naDer. wbloh was evidentlr tha clothn-linn with which he hanged, himself.

Harrington, frightened, dropped the rod and stepped back, and Berry, a Kentuctian by birth and a late arrival at Fairmount, took his place. He was also ordered to de sist, and upon his refusal Campbell came to the front and defied TJttley. Both men then went for their guns, draw ing and firing simultaneously. Tha duelists stood apart at a distance of ten feet and fired two shots each, when the negro was struck in the forehead with a brick tied in a grain sack by Paul. The blow was severe, but had no effect, and in a second after he was hit TJttley wheeled npon.his as sailant and fired. Paul tell with a bullet through the top of his head, au inch from the forehead. ANOTHER JIAN DROPS. Bv this time Harry Frazier (colored) be came involved in the fight and he went to tbe gronnd with two wounds through the lelt leg and right hip. After shooting Panl, the negrq turned about and ran with the crowd in full chase. The firing became general and he received a bullet in the back. With three or four men in pursuit, TJttley ran all over the town, crawled under a barn and was finally cap tured in tbe Central Hotel by two citizens and escorted to tbe office of Dr. Hurley. A. mob soon gathered around the office, crying; for the negro's blood. i While these interesting proceedings were in force an examination of the battlefield was made. In all six men were shot: Paul, who died this morning at 9 o'clock; Frazier (colored), William Cabb, a farmer, specta tor; TJttley and Campbell. ONE WAS SPIRITED H031E.

The affair occurred about 9 in the even ing and was all over within half an hour. Sheriff McFeely and Deputy Fogorn were telephoned forand arrived at the seat of war at midnight. Finding the town in an up-, roar and the citizens terribly excited and determined to hang the negro, the riot act "was read and tbe crowd partially dispersed. ' He is now'in jail in this city. He pleads hi3 innocence strongly, but without much e.'-j feet, for the report of the affair as given above can be substantiated by a dozen wit-j nesses. WORKING ON TnE INQUEST. Coroner Hamilton was notified of Paul's death at 10 o'clock this morning, and now is busy with the inauest. With the exception of TJttley, the men who engaged in the riot are all respectables citizens and Paul was an honest and hard-, working teamster with a wife and four, children. It was only by the heroic efforts' ot the officers that his death was not imme diately avenged. ' TJttley had been a resident of Fairmount j only three weeks. He soon had the whole! town terrorized and could do about as hp-3 pleased. He is known to be a bad man. HANGED UNDER THE NEW LAW. Execution of a Colorado Murderer After tho i aildnightHour.
