Walker and Dodds l'nt Up Their Honej as Contestants In the Bil liard Tournament. JIM 1TC0I AXD WISE FIGHT TO A DRAW Util Mctlt Orgaa Exjtrfs Agree to Ply a Mitti Gtrenl Sportmg Ntws. S That President G. P. O'Xeill is a hustler is proven by the fact that he is on the road. He will arrive in Cleveland this morning and Patsy Tebean is the game he is after. Mr. O'Neill is prepared to offer a man in exchange for Tebeau.but that man is neither Jlillcr or any man who has played on the Pittsburg team. The man is one of three tb.it Mr. O'Neill has produced out of nothing but diplomacy. The Cleveland club has already declared by wire in favor of the exchange. The player that is offered to the Forest City team is a rattling gsod second baseman. If Tebean cannot be se cured, JIulvev may be our third baseman, so that nobody can say the local magnate has not been on deck and at work. Slulvey can be exchanged Tor a star first baseman on whom -Mr. O'Neill has a claim, so that we may expect either Tebeau or Mulvey to cover third base lor the local team. Both are good men. The third man on whom Mr. O'Neill ha a claim will be kept here and will be in right-field. He is a promislngjoungplajer and will play other positions when needed. The names of.tlie three players are withheld at present, and so are the circumstances by which Sir. O'Neill secured his claim on them, Mr. O'Neill declined to talk on the matter yes tcrda) and did not even state that he was bonked for Cleveland, out some or bis acquaint ances knew the facts, and as a result tbey ap pear in The Dispatch to-day. John Ward will not play In Pittsburg. That is a settled lact, ana instead of mm the dun will get two or three men. Mr O'Neill had a strnnc claim on Ward, and both the Brooklyn And New rork magnates knew it. 'It is, there fore, safe to sav that tbe President of-tbe Pittsburg club did not stand aside for nothing. Bel "re the week i over tbis lact may be mabe clear. Manager Hanlon is trying to sign a Intcher in the Kast who pitched m a National .eague club last year, lbe chances of the joung man being signed are very good. It has been Uebnitely settled bv President O'Neill to keep bam LaRoque and Fred Car roll, if their demands ate reasonable. Carroll will play in left field. Hanlon in ceuter and tbe jiiung man above referred to m left. If a bet ter man cannot be secured Miller will play short and LiRoquc will be an extra rain. President O'Neill bis consented to rive Burke ln release. Tbe outfielder wanted it because be prefers to play at bis home Toronto. It Is known that President O'Neill is inclined to sign Haddock, and so is Hanlon. Haddock is a good man. and so is Ad. Gurabert. After all is said tnere is a probability of another change. TIu.Yoang. who is from the New York team. Intended for the outfield here, may be dJs- fiensed with if Van llaltren can be secured. If be latter' terms are reasonable he may come here. THEY FOUGHT A DRAW. McCoy and Wise Have Ten IJeIy Rounds and Neither 1Vin. One of the liveliest glove fights that has been seen in this vicinity for a long time was witnessed last evening in a suburban resort. The contestants erc Jim McCoy and Fred Wise, both heavy-weight'. Wise was much taller than McCoy. The conditions were to tight ten rounds for points for a purse ot 5100. Charley McCo seconded his brother and an unknown gentleman seconded Wise. The figbt was a hot one for two rounds. In the first mund tbe contestants were even, and McCoy bad a shade the best of it in the sei ond. From that on it was a kind of hammer and ion,"S, or an exchange, in which McCov alwavs had'the bet of it. flic truth i- that if McCoy bad been nghtlv advised, be should have won in seven or eight rounds. In the nintb round McCov knocked Wise clean oil bis pins, and should have settled Wise, who was ncak. if he (McCov) bad been rlgbtlv giudcO. McCoy was persistent in hit ting the right sido of Wise's neck, and it be came a ver damaged nart of his ai atomy. In the tenth round they both tried to ao damage. McCoy bau tbe best of it, and time was called, with neither man knocked out. Ttd Dillon, who was referee, declared the contest a draw. SULLIVAN AHD THE ELKS.

In relation to bis reported expulsion from the Elkf, he saidlast beptember he was importuned to join the order by the Newark Lodge No. 21, and. by special dispensation, he took the first and second degrees tbe same night.

The Death of the Duke or Bedford Called Up In Parliament Home Secretary Mat thews Says There Is no Necessity for Any Further Action. LOh DOX, Jan. 26. In the Hotfse of Com mons to-day, replying to a question, Sir James Fergusson, Under Foreign Secretary, said that it was not desirable to publish the diplomatic documents relating to theBering Sea matter in their present incomplete form. The latest report on the condition of the seal fishery, he added, stated that the weather was unfavorable for fishing, but that the seals were as plentiful as ever. With reference to the arrest in Mexico of the Captaiu of the English vessel Seaforlh, the Under Foreign Secretary said that tbe British Consul bad been instructed to watch the case in behalf of the captain and owners, adding that the usual legal reme dies in the Mexican courts must be ex hausted before the British Foreign Office could intervene. Home Secretary Matthews stated in reply to a question on the subject that the Coro ner who had charge of the inquest into the death of the Duke of Bedford had sent to the Home Office copies of depositions taken at the inquest, and after examining them carefully Mr. Matthews was of opinion that that there was no neccssitv for any inquiry. Sir James Fergusson, Under Secretary ot Slate lor the Foreign Office, stated that the convention with Portugal, signed in Au gust last, not having been ratified, England remained under no engagement in regard to limiting Boundaries in Africa, excepting so far as contained in the modus vivendi ex piring in May. The Government, Sir James Fergusson added, bad been informed that Portngal iutended to grant a charter to the Mozambique Company. England, however, could not recognize an application for 1 charter beyond the limits determined upon by the convention. It was not probable that Her Majesty's Government, in view of recent events, would sign a luture conven tion as favorable to the Portnguese claims south of the Zambesi as thatwhich Portugal failed to ratify. EEYONETIZATION OF SH.VEH. Germans Want to Open Negotiations Upon the Subject With America. Beklix, Jan. 26. In the debate in the Iteichstag to-day upon the bndget estimates, Herr Kardorff proposed that the German Government open negotiations with the American Government with reference to the remnnetization of silver.

Herr Von Maltzahn, Secretary of State for the Treasury said the Prussian Govern ment saw no necessity for altering the monetary standard. Dr. Koch, President of the Tteichshank, also held that there was no ground for interfering with the present standard. INTERVIEW WITH K'KINLEY.

Mr. McKiuley is said to have added that be intended to visit Prince Bismarck in order to express personally his admiration for that statesman and for his policy. MR. PABNELL MUST BETIBE. Healyltes Aver That Is the Only Way to Settle the Troubles. I.ONDOJ.. Jan. 26. Tne Healyites de clare Mr. Parnell's absolute retirement a condition precedent to the settlement of the question of the Irish Parliamentary leadership.

Madrid, Jan. 26 Spain has accepted the proposal of tbe Uuited States Govern ment for the negotiation at Washington of j. reciprocity treaty relating to American trade with Cuba. In political circles, it is said, that the only serious difficulty in the way of formu lating and adopting such a treaty appears to be the Americans' inflexibility on the tobacco question. THE CHILEAN REVOLUTION. President llalmacecla Offers to Resign the Reins of Government. Paris, Jan. 26. News has been received here from BuenosAyres that the British Minister to Chile, Mr. J. G. Kennedy, is acting as mediator between the Chilean Government and the iusurgents. It is added that President Balmaceda offers to resign. A1 Big Reward Offered. Glasgow, Jan. 26.

Th,e re mainder were scattering. ' On the second ballot Senator Moody lost 2 votes, getting 71; Hardin gained 2, re ceiving 26; Tripp lost 1, getting 22.

Kansas Farmers Go Into Caucus for Ingalls' Successor. TBE UTMOST SECRECY OBSERVED. The Members Closelj Watched by Their Constituents. .GUAnDSLOOK AFTER THEIR MOVEMENTS Topeka, Jan. 26. Another Alliance caucus ou the'Senatorial question was had again to-night. A reporter stationed out side the door couuted 04 members as they passed into the caucus room. Every Alliance member was present. The caucus, as usual, was secret. After tbe caucus con vened, sentinels were stationed iu the cor ridors, and no one was permitted to approach the door of the caucus room, lest the pro ceedings might be overheard. The window of the room opens upon an alley, and sen tinels were stationed there also. Tbey ac companied every person who entered the alley, and stayed with him until he de parted. Alliance meu'nrrived from every district by the hundreds. The Alliance of each legislative district sent three men to look after its representative. A system of tbe most rigid espionage was established, and whenever a member went out he was ac companied bv at feast one of his brethren. These guards stood over the Alliance members, .iu the hotel corridors, accompanied them in their strolls about tbe streets, went' to their meals with them, walked with them to the Capitol this after noon when they attended the session of the House, watched the proceedings from tbe galleries, button-holed them after the session, and stayed with them until the cau cus hour arrived. Stuck to Them to the Last. During the caucus they waited outside the ouilding until theadjournment and then took them to their hotels. This system of espionage was established to prevent any of the members being talked over to the other side and prevent any person from trying pressures upon tbem. At the cauens rooms particular precau tions were taken- that none but members should be allowed to enter. Besides giving the grip and password, each member was obliged to show his credentials' from the Speaker. It would have been as easy for an outsider to obtain admission to the caucus as for an unitiated mau to get into a Masonic Lodge room. On account of the late adjournment of the House, the meeting did not begin until nearly 9 o'clock. How the Toting Is Done. A new plan has been in consideration this afternoon, its object being to prevent the op position from learning the name of the nom inee. In the first place, the "drop-one" method of voting will be followed. The candidate receiving the lowest number of votes on any one ballot will be dropped from the list before the succeeding ballot is taken. Iu this way the contest is bound to narrow itsel' to two candidates. . Whenthis stage in the voting shall be reached it is proposed to postpone the next ballot until to-morrow night, when another may be held, or possibly until Wednesday noon, when the voting in joint session will begin. If the latter plan is reached tbe caucus nominee will not be known even to the caucus until after the first ballot in joint session. If a nomination is made to night tbe endeavor will be made to keep it a secret until the joint session, aud when thl House meets to-morrow the vote will be scattered so as to give no bint as to who the lucky man may be. G. A. K. Men Ask for Ingalls. The Senatorial question bobbed up the first thing to-day in the Lower House. Rep resentative Showalter, from Sumner county, introduced a petition from the G. A. B. of his connty praying lor the re-election of Senator Ingalls. It was read and ordered placed on the journal. Mr. Showalter moved that the petition be granted, the Senate concurring. The mo tion gave rise to much wrangling, and Mr. Showalter finally demanded a vote. The motion was finally tabled, and the Republi cans' filibustering tactics outwitted. The Committee on Elections, through Chairman Drumbold, then presented its re port on the contested election cases. The first report was on the case of Leedy (Alli ance) against Boyer (Republican). Two reports were, presented. The majority report recommended that the contestant be given the seat. Mr. Drum bold moved the adoption oi the report of the majority. The Republicans again used every means jp their power to produce de lay. The report was finally adopted: Yeas, 91; nays, 23 a strict party vote. Another Alliance Man Seated. The other contested case was that of Max well (Alliauce) agalust Rood (Rep.) The report on tbe case was signed oulv bv the Alliauce members of tbe committee. It recommended that the contestant be given his seat. The minority had not had time to prepare a report, said Mr. Rood, and he asked that action on the report be deterred till to morrow to give him time to preoare the minority report. The re quest was '..not allowed, as it was a well-known fact that the Republicans were using every means to delay the seating of tbe contesting Alliauce men and the re- fiort was brought to a vote, after over an mur's debate. The report was adopted. Nays, 28; yeas, 96. Mr. Warren introduced a resolution in viting Senator Ingalls to appear before tbe House to-morrow morning and deliver an address on the issues of the day. The Chair man put the motion and declared it lost. A resolution was adopted providing that the ballot on Senator be taken in the House to morrow at noon. The House adjourned at 7 o'clock. THE CONTEST IN ILLINOIS. A Probability That the Alliance Men Will Drop Streeter. Sfbixgfield, Jan. 26. A decided sen sation was caused in tbe struggle for the United States Senatorsbip to-day when, on tbe 31st ballot in joint session, Taubeneck (F. M. B. A.) voted for Palmer (Democrat). Cheer after cheer arose from tbe Democratic side but it was soon learned that Taubeneck hnd agreed for a joke to exchange volet with Rowand, (Dem). The Democratic leaders endeav ored to persuade Rowaud not to carry out the trade but he did and when his name was called voted for Streeter, amid laughter from tbe Republican side. v. The farmers' candidate. Mr. Streeter, will have a conference to-morrow with the three F. M. B. A. men, at which will be decided the question of dropping Streeter and taking up another candidate who will be more ac ceptable to other parties. The farmers would not say wh.it other mau they had in mind. In an interview to-night Messrs. Moore and Cockrell both said flatlv they will notatany timesnpport General Palmer. Cockrell had an extended conference this eveniug with Chairman Jones, of the Re publican State Central Committee, and Sen ator Feller, of the Republican Steering Committee. He was positively informed that the Republicans would not come over to Streeter. Cockrell frankly told the Re publicans the F. M. B. A. men would never -vote for Palmer if the Republicans would join them in the election of a farmer candi date acceptable to both.. The Republicans finally held out hopes to Cockrell that per haps ultimately some compromise candi date might be found who would teceive the solid Republican and F.M. B. A. vote.

STORMS TANGLED UP. Continued from first page. Fishkill village fell into the Fisbkill creek and it is a total wreck. The village of Pleasant Valley, which was four feet under water on Saturday, is now free again. Several families are obliged to live in the attics or second floors. For half a mile in the streets of the village ice was piled ten feet high. The Peter Conover bridge and many other bridges were washed away. At the cotton mill tbe water was over tbe looms. FEARS OF A FLOOD Causes Little Sleep Near the Big Housa tonic Valley Dam. frECIAI. TXLXajtAM TO Till DISPATCH.! BlBMiNdHAM, Conn., Jan. 26. An other rise of the Housatouic river caused fears that the great dam would give way. Last night none of the people residing in the vicinity of the dam remained in their houses, but slept at the hotels or at the homes of their friends. A number of men were appointed to watch the dam and spread the alarm should it give way. The guard had their weary vigil for nothing, however, as the dam remained in tact, though its strength was severely tested. Huge blocks of ice floateddown the river all nicht, pounding against the dam, which shook under the attack. The water rushed through the aperture made by the freshet ol last week with a mighty roar. Everv miuute it was expected that the giant wall of masonry would succumb. Over 10,000 strangers visited the scene of wreck and ruin. Owing to the breaking of the dam IS factories are idle, throwing about 7,000 men out of work. " ' FLOODS IN CONNECTICUT. Bridges and Barns Washed Away and Immense Damage Bone. ISrECIAT. TELSQItAU TO TH DISPATCir.l "Winsted, Conn., Jan. 26. The flood iu the Farmington river was very severe. In the towns of Barkham stead and Colcbrook the damage was very large. Tbe big Pleasatit bridge at the former place was swept away and floated down the river several miles, being caught by the ice. At Barkhamstead Hol low a good-sized wooden bridge was swept off its abutments and carried down stream. At North Colebrook, in Sindybrook, theice gorged up against tbe bridge and the stream was diverted into the road. The roads for miles around are impassable and the regular stages have not gone through since last Tuesday. Travel was neVer so completelyginterrupted before. The Cole brook river ice-gorge broke last night and flooded all the cellars in town; swept away rainy barns and drowned horses and hogs. Many farmers lost heavily. MILES LEAVES PINE RIDGE. He Selects the Ten Indians Who Are to Visit Washington. Pine Ridge, Jan. 25. General Miles and staff left for Chicago, via Rushville, at noon, leaving Colonel Sbafter in command at the agency. General Miles left orders for the Ninth Cav alrv to proceed to Fort Niobrara after the department of the Brule Sioux for the Rosebud Agency. They will be accom panied by a detachment of soldiers, as will also the Indians going to the Cheyenne River Agency. The work of disarming the Indians is to he continued. General Miles has selected the following named cbiefs'.to go to Washington: Young Man - Afraid - of- His- Horses, American Horse, Fire Thunder and Hump, rf the friendlies, and Little Wound, Big Road, He-Dog, Two-Strike, High Hawk and High Pine, of the hostiles. Some surprise is expressed at the selections, as it was thought Red Cloud would crtainlv go and Snort Bull and Kick ing Bear, too, as they have been among the most prominent bos tiles. General Miles takes with him to Chicago 40 Indians, who will go to Washington later on under the care of the War Department. General Miles desires that they should go to the Capitol under the guide of a military officer. "WHAT MB. HEDENBEEG SAYS. He Believes That Silver Pools Have and 'Still Bo Exist. Chicago, Jan. 26. John W. Heden bcrg, who has been so frequently referred to in connection with the silver investigation, his just returned from Springfield, and will go to Washington in a few days, in response to a summons to appear before the com mittee. In an interview to-day he said: "I have had no connection with any such pool, and nave no knowledge of the existence of one, though I b-lieve such pools have existed and may still exist. The statements that I have seen in the papers regarding the testi mony of Hill and George are so far from the truth that I am confident that thev must be erroneous reports; therefore I think it well to retervi comment until I sec their testimony as officially recorded before the committee. "It seems to me that this committee has been appointed as a kind of a drag net for catching political fish. In other words, it is mostly politics. The evidence that partisan Dolitiral influences have controlled silver legislation, is, to my mind, strong and con clusive. The leaders of both parties have evidently considered less tbe Interests ol the country than they have the interests of their respective parties." WHEN HE WAS SHEBD7F. Cleveland Itefers to Attacks Upon Him Boring the Last Campaign. New York, Jan. 25. Ex-President Cleveland, while responding to a toast at the annual police banquet here to'night, re ferred to his having been at one time Sheriff of Erie county. He said in part: "So far as my shrievalty is concerned, I may say by way of magnifying my claim for recognition here that I not only held the office and performed its 'duties, but that I have since suttered more or less abuse on account of it. Not many years ago, during a national political campaign, a female orator was employed to go about the country imnlorinc electors to withhold their snflmges from the Buffalo haugm.in. "You must agree with me that this was quite dreadful. It mikes me almost shud der to think that perhaps this female's efforts may have bad much to do with the disastrous result, but, alter all, there is a grain ol com ort in the reflection that this thing was done in the heat of'n political contest and by one avowdedly in employ of political adversaries." GREATNESS IN A CROWD. Illustrious Men Pass Unrecognized in the Streets of a City. New York World. In the rushing crowds in this big city even an ex-President of the United States, a' man whose name is constantly before the public, Grover Cleveland, is lost, despite the couspicuous proportions of his portly figure. I was a passenger in the same' L train the other day with Mr. Cleveland,' and I special ly noted tbe number of persons who ap peared to recognize his distinguished pres ence. He sat in an extreme end or the car, deep ly engrossed in a newspaper.' Passengers entered and left at every station, aud how many do von suppose identified the ex President? Only one, and that was a woman. Impossible. Washington Star. J "What is It, Algie, my boy?" Inquired old Clnbster of the young man sitting pen sively be'ore the fire.

Said a Montana man to a reporter of tbe New York Press: "We have got what no other State or country possesses a river bar full of sapphires." This was some thing novel, and the newspaper man in quired for particulars. Tbe sapphire de posits are in two or three bars of the Mis souri river, about 13 miles from Helena. The area of the bars is several hundred acres, and was once dug over for gold mining in the days wben labor was 57 or 58 per day. It has been bought up and held for working over for .gold when labor gets cheaper, and is said to contain plenty of gold i'or labor at 52 a day. The sapphires are so thick in some parts of It that simplv by working the dirt over with the bands 20 or 30 large-sized atones can be found. The color is not deep blue, but of the greenish blue tlot that has hith erto been found only in fancy sapphire, as the jewelers call tbem, which have been rare and commanded high prices. An En glish company has bought one-tenth of tbe area for ?250,000; and intends to work it over for the sapphires on a large scale. THE WEEK'S CLEABANCES.

It has been one of the puzzles in the political world why Senator Vest, of Missouri, men tioned the narao of Senator Don Cameron in the investigation of the alleged silver p6ol. It is so rare that any official wit ness before a committee volunteers any thing not concerning himself. that evervone has wondered whv Senator Vest could have brought himself to say anything about Mr. Cameron in tbis case, particularly as the two are jreat friends. It is now explained that tbe Senator mentioned tbe fact because Senator Cameron requested him to. The Pennsylvania Senator bad been sum moned to appear before the committee and he preferred to havo the fact made known that be once bad a spcculativa interest in silver, tbronab the declaration of a friend, rather than to be called upon to make the original statement himself in answer to tbe direct question which wonld have been asked bim as soon as he appeared upon tbe stand.
