tSPECIAL TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Washington, November 18. The an
nouncement sent out from Pittsburg that
Senator Delamater had decided to enter the
list for the United States Senatorship is re
ceived among Pennsylvania Republicans
liere with many graius of allowance. It is
believed by them that the Senator is as well
aware of the situation and the odds that
would be against him as any one, and there
fore that he will not be so foolhardy as to
attempt to defeat one who has the Senator
ship already in his pocket.
Not one of the many sagacious Pennsyl
vania politicians who are in office here, so
far as The Dispatch correspondent has
been able to discover, believes that Dela
mater has any encouragement from Senator
Quay in such a candidacy, and they feel
assured that he would not take such a step
without Quay's support. It was conceded
during the campaign that Cameron should
employ his time and money in looking after
the election of a Republican Legislature
and leave the State campaign to others.
Cameron's Claim Upon the Tlace.
. In this work, and to make sure that he
would succeed himself in the Senate, Cam
eron spent tens of thousands of dollars to
assist candidates to pay expenses in working
up their districts, and it is not to be ex
pected that any of the men so assisted would
"vote for Delamater, or for anyone else than
Cameron. It is considered to be absolutely
certain that Cameron will have the support
of iy-ay iu his. contest. Their relations
hafre always been of the most amicable char
acter, notwithstanding the frequent reports
4f coolness and disagreement, and Mr. Quay
-has never harbored any ill feeling on ac
count of the fact that Cameron has main
tained friendly relations with some who
have been unfriendlv to Quay.
The candidacy of Mayor Fitler is not
llookcd upon with any concern. Fitler is
Hlways a candidate for anything that is go
ijkg on, from the Mayoralty to the Presi
jdency, and is considered more of a laughing
stock than a serious candidate. It does not
fceem to be doubted by anyone here who has
fan intimate knowledge of the situation that
jCameron will be his own successor.
j Philadelphia Solid for Cameron.
A special telegram from Philadelphia
says: The announcement that Senator Del
amater intends being a candidate for United
States Senator in opposition to J. Donald
Cameron was not received with much
credence in local political circles to-day.
"I don't think that Senator Delamater is
candidate," said State Senator George
Handy Smith. "If he is, it is news to me.
"We're all for Don," he continued. "In
deed, I don't know a man who is against
liini, lor what I can learn, from the State as
well as from the city. I do not think there
will be any opposition when the time
comes.
Senator Thomas, who will represent the
Fourth district in the next Legislature, is
equally positive of Cameron's re-election,
and said:
The Humors 'Without Foundation.
"There is nothing in this talk ot beating
Cameron, absolutely nothing, Every
body is for Cameron, and I don't believe
that Senator Delamater has any idea of
being a candidate. That dispatch announc
ing him is the -work ot somebody else.
"I certainly iavor Senator Cameron for
re-election," said Collector Martin, who is
the acknowledged Quay leader in this sec
tion oi the State, "and I am confident that
lie will be re-elected without material oppo
sition. So far as I can learn the members of
both Houses from this city will vote solidly
in his lavor, and I can not see where any
body else has a chance."
Collector Cooper, who is Cameron's rec
ognized friend, laughs at the idea of any op
position to the re-election of the senior
Senator, and declares that whatever may be
done by those who talk of defeating Cam
eron will not affect the result.
"Cameron," said he, "will be surely
elected to succeed himscr."
Delamater llhns.il Denies the Story.
A dispatch from Meadville, the home of
the late candidate for Governor, says: A
correspondent called the attention of Sena
tor Delamater to-day to 'a dispatch from
Tittsburg, in which he is made to say that
he is a candidate for the United States
Senate. The Senator, alter reading the
article in question, st ,teu that no such inter
view li3d ever taken p!acc, and that the
declarations attributed to him were untrue
in every particular. He authorizes the
statement that be is not, and has not been, a
candidate for Senatorial honors.

Views Upon the Bccent Contest
in the Keystone State.
FrttClAL TEI.LGIUU TO TUB DISPATCH.:
Philadelphia, November 18. On the
second day after the returns announced the
election of Eobcrt E. Pattison as Governor"
of Pennsylvania he received a personal let
ter from ex-President Cleveland, congratu
lating him upon his victory. Yesterday a
Philadelphia newspaper published an ed
itorial headed "Pattison Was Forgotten,"
in which it was made' to appear that Mr.
Cleveland had slighted Mr. Pattison. On
the contrary, a pleasant interchange of
courtesy had"1 occurred, as shown by the
following letters:
New Youk. November 7. ISM.
IfT Dear Sin Though I know that you are
overwhelmed with congratulations. I cannotre
sjst the temptation to express to you my delight
upon your election as Governor of tenusyl
vanla. 1 have felt the most intense interest in
the contest in 7our State, and have haa great
sympathy with the good people there, con
fronted, as they were, with everything that was
bad, and this indorsed and supported by aparty
claiming an immense majority of the voters. It
seems to me that the condition was almost piti
able, and that the struggle between right and
wrong, at such odds, ought not to have been
foreeu upon your grand old Commonwealth.
But when it came precipitated by the arro
gance of tbose accustomed to deceive and be
tray the people with impunity I almost held
my breath, and. as an American citizen, proud
orTiU country, prayed God for the people's safe
deliverance, and for a demonstration that they
had not lost their love for honesty aud right.
The demonstration came, and I am glad now
that issue between right and wrong was made
so clearly, and that the wrongso impudently
displajedthe banner under which its forces
w ere gathered. I want to thank yon, as a citi
zen, and as one ot the people, for the gallant
fight in this trying hour to save the American
character. And I am so glad that this thing
was done under Democratic auspices though I
think every man who voted for you deserves
the gratitude of bis fellow-countrymen.
Yours very sincerely,
Gkoveu Cleveland.
Philadelphia, November 8, 1800.
My Dear Mr. President;
I got your kind letter upon my return here
this evening after a few dajs' rest at the sea
shore. It is stimulating and encouraging to re
ceive your carue&t words of congratulation.
1 he contest m this State was one uf unprece
dented activity, and, as you so well express it,
was earned on against almost hopeless odds.
No one better tiiau yourself understands the
immense resources and untiring industry of the
allies of corrupt government w ben intrenched
in official power. Happily, the people here
were really aroused and desperately in earnest
and inspired by intelligent and fervent patriot
ism. The Democracy rested their cause solely
on this popular uprising, and their reliance
proved not iu vain.
The news throughout tho country demon
strates that our party generally is in touch
with the people with their intelligence and
moral sentiment and 1 pray that no unwise
counsels may divorce this irresistible union.
Please believe me, wiih renewed thanks and
with the assurance of profound respect, most
sincerely yours, Robert E. Pattison.

PLAYmG THE MISCHIEF.
Congressman Ewart on tho 'Work of the
Tanners Alliance.
IFT.OM A STAFF COERESrOXDEST-1
"Washington, November 18. Repre
sentative En-art, of North Carolina, said to
day in regard to the power of the Farmers'
Alliance:
Tho Alliance business is playing tho mischief
with the party. Jn the aonth the Democrats
just gobbled up the Alliance, taking in
all but the Sub-Treasury scheme, aud the
two are one. In the West the Republicans are
antagonized by tho Alliance and do not appear
to be able to hold anything against it. I du not
think the Alliance will hold out for the sub
Treasury plan, but will be satisfied to contend
for unlimited coinage of silver and the aboli
tion of the national back system. The tailuro
of the Republicans to keep the pledges of their
platform to repeal the tobacco tax did them
great harm. If they do not repeal this tax out
right and give afreecoinaze of silver before
this Congress adjourns they may rely on it the
Alliance will lock horns with them and run a
full national ticket in 1802.
Speaking of the McKinley bill he said he
thought there would be a reaction in its
favor unless the tightness in the money mar
ket and the presence of a big Democratic
majority in the House made capital timid
about building up the industries. The
danger he saw was that men with money,
not feeling sure that the law would be
allowed to stand, would not invest in big
plants and build up the business contem
plated by the framers of the bill.

rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Denver, November 18. At to-day's
session ot the 1C of L. it was decided to con
tinue the department of women's labor.
The cigarmakers' label of the order has been
largely counterfeited, and in order to pre
vent this in the future it was decided to
adopt a uniform cancellation stamp,
which will be under the control of
the General Executive Board and will be
supplied to all assemblies composed
wholly or partly ofjeigarmakers. This stamp
will be protecte"d by patent It was recom
mended that the General Executive Board
establish employment bureaus in each dis
trict. A proposition that the General Mas
ter Workman appoint a committee to press
for the abrogation of the charter of the New
York Central Railroad was concuned in.
It was decided not to change the strike
clause of the constitution.
The Knights will to-morrow probably set
tle the question of organizing a new political
party, appoint a place for holding ili-ir
next annual assembly, and then adjourn.
To-day they elected a general executive
board.

WOULD STAB THE MESSIAH.
Major Burko Agrees" to Settle the Sioux
Trouble in Short Order.
FBOM A STAFP CORRESPONDENT. 1
Washington, November 18. Major
Burke, Buffalo Bill's press agent, has his
own view of the way in which to quell the
turbulent Sioux Indians. He says:
If the Government wants to put a stop to the
trouble that seems to Da brewing among tho
Sioux on account of their so-called Messiah, it
bad better engage me. From all I can hear,
there is a strong probability that a large num
ber of Indians will court annihilation on the
warpath. Now, we who know the red man are
fully aware of tho fact that h j is not easily an
nihilated. It is an expensive and wearisome
process at best An Indian war would cost the
united States several millions of dollars. Such
a war could not be justified, because it is not
necessary.
I'am willing to go ont and find that Messiah,
and within 1 hours from our first interview
we will be on our way East together. To make
assurance doubly sure. I will make a 12
months' engagement with Sittine Bull and
have a donble-star combination. About $75 a
week would pay both their salaries and ex
penses. Would not that be the cheapest way
of settling this difficulty? I'm going away to
nightgoing to dear old Philadelphia to get a
good, long sleep; but you are at liberty to make
this suggestion to the administration in my
absence.

An American Meets Death During tho Late
Unpleasantness.
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
New Orleans, November 18. A cable
gram received here to-day from Tegueia
galpa, Honduras, announces that Alden
H. Baker, of New Orleans, was killed in
the late Sanchez revolution in that coun
try, being the only American to lose his life.
Jtf r. Baker was a brother of Page M. Baker, of
the New Orleans Times-Democrat. He
went to Hondnras some years ago to accept
the post of Chief of Police of that Bepublic,
but left the position some time ago. The
Americans residing in Honduras, some 200
in number, were all friendly to President
Bogran, aud a short while ago, when the
situation looked threatening, sent him word
that they would support his Government in
case of trouble.
They came to his assistance in the late
revolution, and it is presumed that Baker
lost his life in one of the battles iu the
capital, although there are no particulars,
except of his death. It is understood that
President Bogran is specially indebted to
the Americans for the assistance they ren
dered him in suppressing the late insur
rection. A YOUNG WIFE DESEBTED.

O'BRIEN CALLS IT A COXSMUCY
rKFECIAL TELZGEAM TO THE DIEPATCII.t
PniLADELrniA, November 18. The
Parnell-O'Shea scandal and the evident
guilt of the Irish leader was the chief topic
of conversation among the Irish and Irish
Americans of this city to-day. ' They are all
shocked at the charges and the outcome of
the trial, and their opinions are varied and
contradictory. The general opinion, how
ever, is that if Parnell does not make any
statement to vindicate himself he will be
compelled to resign tho leadership of the
Irish party and will be succeeded either by
Justin McCarthy, John Dillon or William
Sexton. -
There are some prominent men in the
Irish movement, however, in favor of re
taining Parnell, even though he is found
guilty, and say that great political leaders
have been accused of similar crimes in the
past, and that such charges did not hurt
their public life.
WILL NOT AFFECT THE CAUSE.
Maurice F. Wilhere, national delegate of.
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, in speak
ing on the Parnell-O'Shea scandal, said:
So far as the cause of Ireland is concerned I
do not think that the verdict in the 0'She.v
Parnell case will affect it in the least Mr. Tar
nell has been the recognized leader of the Irish
people for several years past in their heroic
struggle for borne rule, liberty and justice, but
the great cause for which the people of Ireland
have contended for centuries does not depend
on the faithfuluess or character of one man.
It is the cause of justice for a great, though
impoverished people, and they have the sym
pathy and support of tl-o civilized world In
their fight and their fight will be surely won. it
matters not who may fall br the wayside. Men
may betray or fall away or may be unfaithful
to their trusts, but tho principle of liberty lives
forever and the cause of Ireland will go on to a
sure success
Shoula Mr. Parnell resign, the mantle of
leadership will undoubtedly fall on tho shoul
ders of Justin McCarthy, who is now Vice
Chairman of the Irish parliamentary party, or
on John Eillon or William Sexton, either of
whom are well fitted to occupy that responsi
ble position. I do not think it will injure the
prospects of the Irish delegates now in Amer
ica. The Irish-Americans and the American
people are generally the best friends of Ireland..
They have given their aid and sympathy to the
great cause for which the Irish people are
struggling, and their sympathy and practical
aid will not be affected in any vay by tho ver
dict against any one man's personal character.
MAT DEMAND HIS DESIGNATION.
Martin I. J. Griffin, editor of the Irish
Catholic Benevolent Journal, said:
Parnell must go. The Irish are such lovers
of purity that they will not consent to be led
by an immoral man. I -believe that the Irish
clergy will demand his resignation. I do not
think that it will affect the Irish envoys' mis
sion in this country. John Dillon will most
probably be Parnell's successor.
T. M. Daly, President of the Irish Catho
lic Benevolent Societies of America, said:
I am surprised that Mr. Parnell made no de
fense. Such an action is an acknowledgment
of guilt according to our law here. I still be
lieve that there will yet come an answer show
ing the charges to be the result of a political
conspiracy to ruin bis character. O'Sbea's
conduct is not that of an honorable man who
believed that the betrayer of his wife was stop
ping under his roof and did nothing. If there,
is not any vindication of Parnell I think the
canse is too Eacred to be intrnstedio tli.t
leadership of such a man. Neither the Irish
people nor the Liberal high church people of
England would pay him that respect that such
an office requires.
John O'Callaghan, Secretary of the
Municipal Council of the Irish National
League, of this city, said:
We do not think it wise or judicious that Mr.
Parnell should retire at this time from the
leadership of the Irish party. Similar charges
have been laid at the door of as creat men, yet
the cause which they represented did not seem
to sutler. Mr. Biggar was sued for a breach of
promise, yet be held the same position as be
fore the snit. Mr. Parnell's case will not have
any effect on the mission of the Irish envovs
here.
A RADICALS TALK.
HE SAYS THAT PARNELL CAN NO LONGER
BE THE LEADER.
Tom Walsh, a Washington Official, Gives
Vent to Aspersions on the Character of
tho Irish Envoys Now in This Country
Collecting Funds.
IFEOM A STAFT COBKESPONDEITT. J
Washington, November 18. "Tom"
Walsh, of the War Department, is the
leader of the Irish Radicals in this city.
Speaking of the Parnell scandal, he said:
Parnell can no longer be leader of the Irish
party in Parliament lie has disgraced him
self and the cause he was so prominent in. He
has set back home rule 20 years. Who will
lead is a question 1 am really unable to answer.
Either Dillon or Sexton: more probably Dillon.
He is a brave, yet conservative man. He
would follow oat what ho believed to be the
line of his duty without regard to the personal
sacrifice involved. There is no braver man
connected with the cause. Sexton would be
much weaker; he ban't the outspoken co'urage
of bis convictions. No, Healy would never do.
He is too impetuous a flash in the pan.
By the way. can you tell me why Dillon,
O'Brien, Sullivan, Harrington, Gill and O'Con
nor are appealing to the American public in
behalf of the famine-stricken poor ot Ireland?
Ten years ago they said they would never again
ask this country for financial assistance, and
here they are again. They announced three
months ago that they were coming, and a com
mittee of prominent Americans was formed to
help them in the work of solicitation. Now
they have borne, and through their action this
American Committee has been disbanded. Can
anybody tell why?
If there is a famine, why was that committee
juggled out of existence? If there is no famine,
then there is nothing to relieve. The whole
truth of the matter Is that those fellows are
after money forpolitical purposes. They have
more than 1100,000 now, and will probably get
more. The League will use it although it was
collected ostensibly for the starving people of
Ireland.
Not one dollar, not a cent of it will ever
reach the hunger-racked and homeless ones in
whose behalf there ii so much wilfully decep
tive oratory. If the money was to be used in
charity 1 would contribute cheerfully, but you
can safely bet that Dillon. O'Brien, Harrington
and Company don't get any of my salary.
CONFIDENCE IN PABNELL.
The Irish Envoys Determine to Stand by His
Leadership.
New York, November 18. T. P. O'Con
nor, M. P., and T. P. Gill, M. P., say that
the Irish envoys are firmly resolved to stand
by the leadership of Parnell. They think
this course is diciated not merely by gratitnde
for Parnell's imperishable services in the
past, but by the conviction that his leader
ship is absolutely essential to the success of
their movement.
Owing to the scattering of the delegates at
meetings in different parts of the country, it
has not been possible to have a cablegram
sent to Ireland to-night, bnt its terms are
practically agreed upon, and a joint message,
which is uncompromising in support of Par
nell's leadership, is being signed by all the
delegates and will be sent early to-morrow.

rSrXCIAL TELKQKAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Boston, November 18. William
O'Brien. M. Phad, this, to ear about the.
attacks on Parpell by the Tory press and
by Captain O'Shea:
I decline to take any notice ot hostile news
paper rumors about Mr. Parnell. Kr the past
ten years tho very same newspapers have mado
all sorts of villainous attempts to assassinate
Mr. Parnell's character, not in the least
from any motive of public morality,
bnt on acconnt of his xinnvaled leadership.
Ivnowing nothing whatever or the O'Shea case,
except from O'Shea's own evidence aud that
of his employes, I can give no opinion upon
tho subject at the present moment All I do
know is that O'Shea is a loathsome creature,
who is capable of anything.
He was employed by the Times newspaper to
swear that tho f urged letters vi ere Mr. Par
nell's and it was only when perjury In that
matter failed him that he seems to nave fallen
back upou this story of bis own dishonor. The
Irish party and the Irish people may bo trusted
to safely guard the interests of the Irish cause,
without the least regard to the rumors set
afloat by moralists liko Piggott's employers.
PREPARING FOR WAR.
TROOPS IN MOTION'TO PROTECT NORTH
DAKOTA SETTLERS.
Military Authorities Make Light of the
Threatened Outbreak, but Are Strain
ing Every Nerve to Meet It All the
Same Refugees in Mandan.
St. Paul, November 18. General Buger,
Commander of the Department of Dakota,
'accompanied by his aide-de-camp, Lieuten
ant AVoodruff, returned this morning from
their tour of inspection among the various
posts of the Northwest. General Euger
was busy with accumulated work, but
Lieutenant Woodruff said the reports of
trouble were more or less exaggerated. Re
garding these reports he said that some of
the statements made are peculiar, particu
larly those with reference to the belief that
Mandan is threatened by an armed force.
The Indians located uearest to Mandan
are about 35 miles away, on the Cannon
Ball river. They are thnity, industrious,
peaceable people,' who have taken up claims,
built huts and house', own cattle, ponies
and wagons, and are in good circum
stances. The dancer arises, not from these
Indians, but from the red-skins in the
neighborhood of Standing Bock, who have
a wily and dangerous leader.
Troops from Fort Omaha, Fort Robinson,
Fort Niobrara, Nebraska, and a pack train
from Fort Russell, Wyoming, have been
ordered out to hold the Indians in check at
the Pine Ridge and other agencies on the
Dakota frontier. Some of the companies
left for Pine Ridge agency at 4 o'clock this
afternoon, and will be provided with rations
for 15 days. The marching column will be
in command of Major Butler. Troops at
Fort McKinney will also be ordered out,
and leave in the morning for Douglas,
Wyo., with Colonel Guy V. Henry in com
mand. The march is about 125 miles. The
troops at Forts Niobrara and Robinson,
which are not far from the scene of the diffi
culty, will march to-morrow.
At Mandan an easier feeling prevails
owing to the receipt of arms and ammu
nition by the citizens. Settlers are coming
in lrom all directions. Every house is full
of refugees from the country.
Major McLaughlin, agent at Standing
Rock, admits that he has lost control of the
Indians. Nevertheless, no outbreak is ex
pected until spring.
General Miles deprecates the attention
newspapers are bestowing upon the move
ments of troops, saying that the news will
reach Indian camps within 24 hours. He
says the failure of crops is the real cause of
the threatened outbreak. The Indians are
getting their rations now. It is apparent
that the General regards the situation as
very serious.

CONGRESSIONAL CUIHIITTEE OX HAND
Chicago, November 18. At a meeting
of the National World's Fair Commission
this afternoon, Mercer, of Wyoming, intro
duced a resolution that plans lor buildings
should designate tbe site, and that only the
Fine Art building should be located in tbe
Lake Front, and that all other buildings
be located in Washington park, the midway
plaisance and Jackson park; lurther, that
the local directors are requested to report
plans in harmony with the above- on or be
fore November 21, 1890, unless they desire
this commission to report to the President
that Chicago fails to offer a suitable site and
necessary buildings. This was referred to
the Buildings and Grounds Committee.
Then Mr. M. H. DeYoung, of California,
got the floor with a more scorching reso
lution than that offered by Mr. Mercer:
RED-HOT RESOLUTIONS.
Wheheas, The proposition for a double
sito is repugnant to the experienced judgment
and business sense of the entire world, and
Whereas, This Commission has been imposed
upon by misrepresentations on the part of the
Chicago Directory, the said representations
being that tbey only desired to place the Fine
Art bnilding and a gateway to the main Expo
sition on the Lake Front, having shown their
intentions at a recent meeting by the passage
of a resolution fixing nine different features
and eight buildings on tbe said Lake Front,
they have also attempted to let tbe contracts
for said buildings before this commission
should assemble again. While they have
temporarily rescinded that action at the re
quest of their president, now tbe National
Commission feeling that they have been and
maybe imposed on again, do hereby
Resolved, That tbe action of this bommis
slon in accepting the various sites offered them
was contrary to the spirit of the law directing
them to accept a site; that such action is
hereby rescinded; that the Board of Direc
tors of the World's Columbian Exposition be
requested to Immediately furnish this com
mission with a site where the Exposition can be
held as one exhibit
CALMER COUNSELS PREVAIL.
Mr. De Young said he did not want this
resolution shelved as Mr. Mercer's had
been. The president rnled that it went to
the same committee. Mr. De Young ap
pealed from the decision. Then the paci
fiers came to the iront, and the appeal was
withdrawn. The resolntion was ordered
printed and will be considered later.
The action showed the pent-np condition
of some of the commissioners with relerence
to the site, and nothing but McKenzie's ex
ceedingly wise and politic resolution pre
vented a tempestuous outbreak. It is pos
sible that conservatism may prevail and
smother the site squabble. The commission
adjourned until 10 A. M. to-morrow.
The Executive Committee of the commis
sion held a brief session and passed a reso
lution directing the President and Secretary
not to sign any vouchers for expenses that
might be incurred by the Committee on
Foreign Affairs until further notice. A
copy of tbe resolution will be sent to Secre
tary Windom, of the Treasury Department,
and also to the Foreign Affairs Committee
at New York. This move is designed to
head off the Foreign Affairs Committee in
establishing headquarters in London with
out authority or the expressed assent of the
Director General.
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.
The Congressional" Committae of the
World's Fair continued its inquiry this
morning. Hon. Edwin Willett, Assistant
Secretary of the Department ot Agricultnre
and a member of the Government Board,
was positive that the site question should be
settled at once; that it should not be a di
vided site; that the Government exhibit
should be close to the State, agricultural
aud live stock exhibitions, and that Jack
son Park was the best place for the main
body of the show.
On reassembling, the representatives of
the United States Government Exhibit
Board appeared and stated that they had
made a personal visit to Jackson and Wash
ington Parks. Jackson Park, they
declared, would be a more desirable loca
tion for the Federal Government exhibit,
The committee will continue to-morrow tbe
investigation as to the status of World's
Fair matters generally.

THE DOCTOR IN A WASHINGTO
COURT ON SUSPICION.
The Man Who Was Thought to be Ja
Ripper Satisfies the Judge That lie
Right, and is Discharged From Costo
IFBOU A STAFT COUBESFOXDEXT.I
Washington. November 18. Dr.
Francis Tamblety, who gained some no
toriety during the excitement caused by tbe
operations of "Jack the Ripper," and who
made himself notorious in Pittsburg some
time since, was a defendant in the police
court this morning. "Suspicious person"
was the charge made against him by De
tective Home. The doctor is a large man,
who wears glasses. He wa3 well dressed,
and did not present any outward signs of a
vagrant Some years ago the doctor resided
in this city, where he practiced his pro
fession and sold herb medicine. When ar
rested last night the officer found on hip
considerable money and some jewelry iu
all more than 3,000 in value.
Detective Home gave evidence of the ar
rest after having seen tbe defendant several
times under suspicious circumstances.
Stablekeeper Keliher gave evidence as to
the defendant's character. He said that he
knew the doctor during the war, and during
the battle of Bull Run he (the doctor) was
very active in helping the sick and the
wounded. He had always known the doctor
as a good citizen. Saloon Keeper Harvey
also gave evidence as to the doctor's good
character during the war. About ten years
ago he missed the doctor, and did not see
him again until about ten days ago.
The defendant testified in his own behalf
that he was waiting for a car at Seventh and
Pennsylvania avenue last night, when he
beard two young men talking about New
York. They were talking when Detective
Home came along and stopped near them.
Witness den4ed the charge against him, and
denounced the arrest as a shocking outrage.
On cross-examination, witness said that
he was never charged with a similar offense
in England to that indicated by the officer,
and that he was not mixed up in a scandal
implicating certain lords. He said that
some newspapers attempted to say that he
was "Jack tlie Ripper," but that was a silly
statement, to which he paid no attention.
Judge Miller commented on tbe law, and
said that the proot in this case did not come
up to the legal proof required to hold a
person. The doctor's book was ottered in
evidence, and referring to it, the Judge said
that when a book containing the signatures
of the crowned heads of Europe and the
potentates of America is presented to prove
a man's good character he always looked
upon it with suspicion.
If there was anything in the charge it
will develop, and it such should prove the
case tbe penalty provided by this law, a bond
of 5-0, is not sufficient He should, in such
event, be investigated by the grand jury
under the common law for nuisance. The
charge was dismissed.

a VjryJ T prominent people. This after
nob. jeneral was found sitting upright
in aVdair, in his private reception room at
the hotel, with a bullet through his head.
The Commissary of Police was called, and
made his formal report, stating and believing
at the time that the General was dead
Kohzbue, the Councilor of the Russian Em-,
bassy, identified the body.
THE GENERAL NOT DEAD.
A later examination of the body shows the
General to be still alive at this hour. The
wound is a deep one, back of his right ear.
He has not recovered consciousness since he
was found and the doctors say there is no
hope for him. According to one account a
stranger, dressed as a Commissionaire,
penetrated to the General's apartments, and
it is supposed that he shot him, tbe belief
being that it is a case of Nihilist ven
geance. General Seleverstroff was at one time the
Chief of the Russian Gendarmerie and head
of the third section, the department of po-'
litical police. After the assassination of
General Mesentzolff in 1879 he had the
police mission to this city given him. It
was known that he was constantly appre
hensive for his safety. Later details say
General Seleverstroff came to the Hotel de
Bode every year and usually spent a couple
of month here. He occupied a room on
the first floor, looking into the Boulevard
des Italiens.
NO LIGHT ON THE MYSTERY.
He arrived here about a fortnight ago,
and lived alone save for a servant He was
generally very busy, and received every day
a great deal of company of all sorts. This
morning when the servants entered the
room at 11 o'clock they fonud their master
lying in front of the fireplace with a wound
in the head. The police were at once
warned, .and a doctor summoned, but their
investigations have thrown no light on the
subject of tbe manner in which the wound
was inflicted.
A domestic declares that no noise was
heard at all. There is the greatest mystery
observed, and every attempt is being made
to keep the facts from the public. It is not
absolutely known yet whether the case is a
crime or a suicide. The whole matter is
being investigated by the authorities.

London, November 18. The position of
