BosTOK, April 26. The Convention of
the American Theosophical Societies met
this morning with about 5D delegates, about
half of them ladies, from branches in all
parts of the country present. Arthur K.
Griggs, President of the local branch, acted
as Temporary Chairman and called the
zneetinc to order. Dr. E. B. Kembo, of
California, was elected Permanent Chair
man, and Kobert Crosbie, of Boston, Secre
tary. The foreign delegates, including Mrs.
Annie Besant and Dr. Archibald Keight
ley, of London, and Ran Chandra Sen Sara,
swati, a Brahmin pundit, wearing a big red
turban and a suit of American store clothes,
were then received and took seats on the
platform with Mrs. Besant's daughter, a
TerT much bored-looking young woman iu
fashionable spring attire, aud the Mephis-tophelian-looking
William Q. Judge, Gen
eral Secretary and Big Medicine Man gen
erally of the American section, who read a
long and rambling report containing a gen
eral survey ol the work and needs of the so
ciety. Growth of the American Section.
There had been 19 new branches formed
in the United States during the year and
one member expelled'. Tint m Mr. Mary
X,. Farrington, who had been convicted of
publishing a pamphlet bitterly hostile to
eosophy. Mr. Judge commented on the
Wt that in her case, as in that of Dr. Elliott
Cones, expelled the previous year, the cul
prits had persistently clung to membership in
an organization they denounced as immoral
and a fraud until they were kicked out.
The total annual receipts were S5.124,
added to an existing balance of $973 65, of
which SI, 534 was sent to Indiana, $4,661
used for expenses of the general secretary's
office and contribution for Colonel Olcott's
holiday and theexoensesof Mr. B. Keightly
as delegate to India, leaving a balance of
1,334 70.
An urgent appeal was made for money to
secure Oriental teachers from India and
engage a permanent theosophic lecturer.
Resolutions to carry out the recommenda
tions of th report and endorsing the gen
eral secretary's work were then proposed.
Committeesoniesolutious.anditing, nomina
tions and practical work were then elected,
the latter being in accordance with a new
departure of the society suggested by Mrs.
J. C. Yerplanck, the well-known dramatist,
who was made its chairman.
Charitable Work In the Slams.
It is intended to carry out charitable and
educational work among the poor in our
large cities by men and women in the Theo
sophic Society, particularly in New York
and Boston slums.
A serious storm suddenly arose over a
resolution introduced by Dr. Buck direct
ing the secretary to cable Mme. Blavatsty
a message expressing sympathy for her ill
nets, admiration for her work, and unquali
fied confidence in her teaching and direc
tion. Or. Thomas offered an amendment
adding the name of Colonel Olcott.
This brought Mr. Judge to his feet with
an emphatic objection. Olcott he said stood
in no such relation to the society as Mme.
Blavatsky, who would have .founded it
without him. The resolution expresses con
fidence in Mme. Blavatsky's knowledge and
teachings of the secret doctrine, but Colonel
Olcott himself had said he did not under
stand what the tenets oi the wisdom religion
were. Mme. Blavatsky is the woman of the
centuries, but Olcott, though a very good
work hone, was not a genius nor learned in
theosophr.
Olcott Knows a Little of It.
Dr. Thomas insisted on his amendment,
saying be yielded to no one in his loyalty to
Mme. Blavatsky, neither did he yield in his
loyalty to Colonel Olcott. While conceding
Mr. Judge's superior knowledge, he believed
Olcott knew something of the wisdom re
ligion. At any rate, as President of the
society, he did not occupy a subordinate or
unimportant position, and if he was not ad
vancea and learned why he was the Presi
dent. After much more confused discus
sion, the amendment was withdrawn on the
understanding that Olcott should have a
resolution all to himself, and the origiual
resolution was adopted.
At the afternoon meeting the great cu
riosity to hear Mme. Blavatsky's message
read by Mrs. Besant was condensed by the
fact that the hall was crowded to suffocation
and scores of people unable to gain admit
tance blocked both entrance ways. The
message was written on four large folio
sheets in type writing. Mrs. Besant read it
in a low but clear and evenly toned voice,
with decided impressiveness. On the con
clusion of the reading she made an address,
paying a high tribute to Mme. Blavatsky's
unselfish devotion and appealing to Amer
ican theosophs to rise above all pettv per
sonal jealousies. Here is a synopsis of the
message:
The Message From Madame Blavatikr.
Suffering In body as I am continually, the
only consolation that remains to me is the
progress ot the holy cause to which my health
aud strength have been given. I am proud of
your noble work In the common cause so dear
to us all. The period now reached that will
close between 1E97 and 1898 will be one of great
conflict and continued strain. If the theoso
phists can hold through it, good. If not, while
theosophy will remain unsettled, the society
will perish, perchance most ingloriously, and
the world will suffer. 1 ferrently hope that I
may not see such a disaster in my present body.
1 lie critical nature of the stage on which we
have entered Is as well known to tne forces
that fight against us as to the torces
that fight on our side. No opportunity will bo
lost of surviving dissention, of instilling doubts
of au-;mentire difficulties, so that the unity of
the society may Ve broken. Hut united there is
no force on earth able to destroy our brother
hood. I have marked with pain a tendency
among tueosopLisls in Europe and India to
quarrel over trifles. Psychism. with all its
allurements and its dangers, is necessarily de
veloping among you. and you must be beware
lesf the psychic outruns the bpiritual de
velopments. The Only Salvation of the Country.
To tbe sincere the potent blessings ot the
Mabatines was mystically promised. For ful lor
desalts as to its work In England the conven
tion as referred to "Annie Besant, my dear
friend and trusted messenger, who is my right
arm here." Theosopbj alono can save Amer
ica frnm tint luxurious materialism that has
been the means of decay of so many of the
utilizations of the ancient world.
From the end of the document depended
by a wide yellow silk ribbon an enormous
red seal, stamped with the device of a
winged sphere under two Sanskrit charac
ters. A smaller seal, which fastened the
ribbon to the paper, bore the interlaced tri
angles on six painted stars of the society and
similar Sanskrit letters. As Mrs. Besant
held the tbeets aloft the sheet was-the sub
ject of much aue aud admiration.
General Secretary Judge, who was warmly
commended iu a second special message,
then read a number of letters of greeting and
congratulation from foreign lodges of trie
society, including those ol London, Cbes
wick, Liverpool, New Castle, Bradford,
the West of England branch, Scot
tish lodge, Dublin lodge, the Paris,
Brussels, Amsterdam and Greek blanches.
The French Lacking in Appreciation.
A letter was also read from the Countess
of Caithness and Duchess de Poniar, Presi
dent of the Nice branch, speaking iu glow
ing terms ol Mme. Blavatsky and the cause,
"but bewailing the inabilltvof the French
to appreciate theosophic teachings." Bert
rand Keightly, delegate Iroin the American
section to the general convention iu India
last, December, reported that in responseto
the desires of the American theosophists
urged by him, Colonel Olcott had consented
to continue as President, taking a year's
holida and rest for his health. He also
submitted the draft ot "a revision of the con
stitution a,nd reported that he bad been ap
pointed General Secretary of the Indian
station in which capacity he earnestly ap
pealed to America for funds to carry on the
propaganda in that country.
Dr. Archibald Keightly of the British
sectioD, wab introduced aud read an address
of greeting and congratulation. 'It in
cluded an account.of the work done by the
British section, a hall had been built es
pecially for the meeting of the Blavatsky
Lodge.
General Secretary Judge followed in a
cuttingly sarcastic and somewhat rabid at
tack on the Christian churches and preach
ers. He said theosophists are not so foolish
as Bellamy and the Nationalists. They do
not expect to realize the idea of universal
brotherhood within the century but only to
make a nucleus of such a brotherhood.
Bitter Attack Upon Christianity.
Theosophists go to India for its wisdom
and-philosopby. because India, much older
than America, has there'rorefoand -records
of the truth of the early religion. It opposes
not only Christianity, but Christianity and
the churches. The division of the Christian
churches was not Christianity, but pagan
ism. Christ said give all that you have,
practiced submission and patience, and
preached against wars. Are the Christian
people obeying these precepts? No. Di
rectly disobeying them. Christ was per
fectly right, but He said much more than
was reported. We are trying to supply the
omission and revive real Christianity.
Jesus taught that man must save himself,
and cannot be saved by vicarious atone
ment. He quoted irom St. Matthew aud
St- John iu support of these assertions. The
law of justice, Christ taught, is the law of
Karwa.
Kciucarnation was also taught by Christ,
when iu answer to the question, "Whom do
you think that I am ?" He allowed His dis
ciples to say He was Ellas or Enoch, in ac
cordance with a well-known doctrine of the
day. Theoiophy is a reform of Brahma in
India, of Buddhism in Ceylon and Japan,
of Zoroastrianisni, or fire worship, in the
East End of Christianity in Europe and
America.
Severe Criticism of the Speech'.
Faint applause marked the close of Mr.
Judge's remarks, which were severely com
mented on after the meetiug for their bitter
ness and ridicule of Christianity. The
speech altogether by many present was con
sidered in exceedingly bad taste, and lack
ing conspicuously the elevated, careful and
neutral tone ol Mme. Blavatsky's message
and of Mrs. Besant's address.
"It says very little for the boasted breadth
and catholicity of.theosophy," said a promi
nent Boston member, "that its leader should
indulge in an attack on Christianity far
more vindictive in tone and vulgar in lan
guage than I ever heard a Christian minis
ter apply to infidels, atheists or theoso
phists." At the evening session of the Theosophical
Convention the hall was again well filled,
the out-of-town delegates being reinforced
by many of the Boston contingent of the
cult. The following officers, reported by the
Committee on Nominations, were elected:
General Secretary aud Treasurer, W. Q.
Judge; Executive Committee, A. H. Spen
cer, Alexander Fullerton, E.A.Nere&heimer,
Dr. J. D. Buck, A. B. Griggs, Dr. A. 1.
Buchman and W. Q. Judge. A General
Council of 27 was also appointed.
The remainder of the session was devoted
to the reading ot two profound papers, one
by Miss Kate Hillard, of Brooklyn, on
"Dante's Beatrice from a Theosophical
Point of View," and the other by J. R.
Bnggs, of Boston, ou "The Basis of the
Doctrine of Reincarnation." The conven
tion will hold morning, afternoon and eveu
ing sessions in Xremont Temple to-morrow.

HERESY-HUNTED.
A Lecturer and a Minister's Views on the
Briggs and Other Cases.
1SPECIAL TELEOHAM TO THE DISTATCH.l
New Yoek, April 26. Without men
tioning them by name, Lecturer Mauga
sarian talked about HeberNewtonand Prof.
Briggs before the Society lor Ethical Cul
ture iu Chickcnng Hall this morning. He
said: "In the Episcopal and Presbyterian
churches leading clergymen and professors
WW
have become naturally a source of discord
and fear to more orthodox believers. Truth
in the minds of many being associated with
creeds and dogmas," opposition naturally
arises when such are impugned, and we can
not blame the diligence of the orthodox in
seeking to purge the church of those who
are undermining their laith. I maintain
that a preacher who has outgrown his creed
should at once boldly proclaim his change
of belief, and step down and out of his pul
pit" The Bev. Madison Peters, of the Bloom
ingdale Reformed Dutch Church, on the
other hand, defended Prof. Briggs in his
sermon on "Heresy-Hunted" this evenidg,
and denounced the condemnation of Prof.
Briggs as inquisitorial. -i'Tliat remon
strance," he said, "signed by 116 obscure
clergymen and SO bigoted laymen, will
drive mare men from the churches than the
most eloqnent infidel lecturer. I have more
admiration for a dog fight than for those
carniverous churchmen."

ANNA DICKINSON'S REAPPEARANCE AS
A LECTURER.
Her Language Sach as to Drive Ladles
From the Theater Wild Attacks on
Qua, Clarkson, Wanamaker and Dud
ley Itcmarkg of a Bainbllng Nature.
New Y.obk, April 20. A performance
of "Cleopatra" held the boards of the
Broadway Theater until a late hour last
night. After it was finished the big stage
was set for a parlor scene, and with such
surroundings Anna Dickinson appeared on
the same stage this evening to deliver a
lecture on "Personal Liberty." It was Miss
Dickinson's first public appearance since ber
confinement in an asylum and her deliver
ance therefrom. When she walked forth upon
the stage to-night there was not a large
audience awaiting her, but those present
welcomed the gifted woman with cheering
applause. Miss Dickinson was attired in
white, with black trimming.
She opened her address upon personal
liberty with a violent attack upon the Re
publican party, and with bitter words against
various persons prominent in public life.
The personal characterizations were in many
instances repugnant to decenoy, and ladies
wbo
occupied orchestra chairs arose and
with their escorts left the theater. Miss
Dickinson paid little or no attention to these
defections. She frequently punctuated her
utterances with the question: "Well, folks,
do you think I am insane?" She
spoke of the Postmaster Geueral as
"Merciful Heaven" Wanamaker. This
queer remark was received with hisses.
She dwelt at great length upon what she
termed the private character of Mr. Wana
maker and J. S. Clarkson. Her imprison
ment at the Danville Insane Asylum was a
scheme. She declared it was aconspiracy
of J. S. Clarkson, Colonel W. W. Dudley
and Senator Quay. They wanted her, she
said, to stump the country for them in 18S8,
and she was given a blank check to fill in
whatever compensation she wished. The
provision, however, she declared, was that
the should not speak at all about the black
men.
"I am poor," she continued, "but as
heaven is .my witness, I did not want their
money because they wanted my voice to be
silent on the slave question." Then Miss
Dickinson, accompanied by her lessened
audience, with countenances indicating pity
and regret, rambled on about a visit to Mr.
Harrison at Indianapolis'.
"She avowed that she was promised $3,750
for every speech she made in 1888, and 55,
000 each if ber candidate should be success.

some or her words: "The papers have said,"
continued Miss Dickinson, "that there
has been a conspiracy between us. Yes,
Mr. Sutler has written me letters and thev
were addressed to Lizzie. He is the only
man who has ever addressed me by my mid
dle name. He knew what he was doing,
but he will answer for it all iu a court of
law. I have had unnumbered sorrows and
I do not place a mask or veil over any of
them."
ANOTHER JOB IN SIGHT.
MAJOR MTLAUGHREY SEEMS TO BE IK
DEMAND JUST NOW.
The Man Who Was Slated for the Allegheny
County Workhonse Offered the Control
of the Chicago Police A Question as to
His Eligibility Raised.
Chicago, April 26. Major R. W. Mc
Claughrey, ex-warden of the Joliet Peniten
tiary and late Superintendent of the Penn
sylvania Reformatory at Huntingdon, ad
mitted this evening that he had been offered
the position of General Superintendent of
the Chicago police. He has not yet de
cided whether to accept.
Major McClaughrey served with distinc
tion in the civil war, taking an active part
particularly in the capture of Vicksburg.
His reputatiou as a fearless officer and ef
fective disciplinarian is said to have led
Mayor-elect Washbnrne to select him, with
the purpose of divorcing th,e Chicago police
from politics.
The Major is not a resident of Chicago,
and the question has already been raised
that he is ineligible to office here. The As
sistant Superintendent, it is semi-officially
announced, will be ex-Captain Michael J.
iSchaack,who took such a leading part in the
prosecution of the Haymarket Anarchists.

the
A TELEGRAM SENT TO THE PKESIDENT
Cincinnati, April 26. This evening a
telegram was sent to President Harrison on
the Pacific coast and to Mr. John Harrison
in Kansas City that their sister, Mrs. Bettie
Eaton, of North Bend, had been mortally
Injured to-day by being thrown from a car
riage in a runaway.
The accident hapnened this afternoon at
Cleves, about 23 miles west of this city.
Mrs. Eaton and her niece, Miss Moore, went
to Clever to church in a carriage, driving
the family horse, which, though spirited,
had always been considered safe.
A Fatal Break in the Harness.
On their return while iu Cleves the horse
shied at something and started to run away.
The breeching of the harness broke and the
horse plunged down a bank, throwing both
women out of the carriage.
Mrs. Bettie Eaton was thrown to the hard
ground violently, her head striking first
Miss Moore had her shoulder dislocated and
suffered other injuries. She was able to be
removed to the Eaton homestead at North
Bend, and it is hoped that her injuries are
not mortal. Mrs. Eaton's injuries were
known to be so serious at the first that she
could not be removed to North Bend. She
was at once taken to the house of a friend,
Mr. Hayes, of Cleves, and Dr. Hughes was
called in immediately.
At 11:30 to-night a telephone message
from Mr. Grossman, of Cleves, said that at
11 o'clock to-night Mrs. Eaton was con
scious and able to talk, and that there were
some hopes of her recovery.
The Horte Did Not Bon Away.
He says, moreover, that the horse did not
run away, but that the breechiug broKe
when he was going down a steep bill, be
tween Cleves and North Bend, and that he
could not help rushing down the hill, and
that Miss Moore, in ber fright, caught the
reins and the horse veered and upset the
buggy orer a steep bank. Miss Anna
Moore lives in Chicago and is here on a
visit.
Miss Moore's mother is at Cummins
ville to-night on her way to North Bend.
Mr. Grossman telephones that Miss Anna
Moore's injuries are not thought to be seri
ous. The hopes ot Dr. Hughes are that
Mrs. Eaton has not suffered internal in
juries, as was thought at first. She is about
60 years old and has a son, Archibald
Eaton, now at El Paso, Texas, in the service
of the Vandalia road.
Mrs. Eaton was idolized by high and low,
rich and poor, and all Cleves and North
Bend are grieved over the accident.

Chicago, April 26. Eastern horticul
turists combined to keen California from
getting the Chief of the Department of
Horticulture. Director General Davis was

WILY PROPERTY OWNERS.
They Cnt Down Trees ou Land Wanted
for
a National Park.
rraoit a staff conBESPONDE.VT.i
Washington, April 26. A very mean
bit of vandalism has just been discovered by
the Park Commission, which has charge of
the purchase of the land intended to be in
cluded in the magnificent Rock Creek Na
tional Park provided for by the last Con
gress. The survey has been chiefly made
and the boundaries pretty well defined.
Several owners are not willing to sell, and
the usual steps were contemplated to ap
praise and condemn their land.
Pending this, the owners began suddenly
to cut down magnificent trees, that the prop
erty might no longer be desirable for park
purposes, knowing that if it were lelt just
outside the park boundaries it would, in a
few years, after the improvement ot the
park, be greatly enhanced in value. The
Park Commission have taken a hand, how
ever, and hope withiu a day or to to have a
permanent injunction, restraining all prop
erty holders within the contemplated boun
daries of the park from felling or injuring
the trees.

BLOOD IN HER EYES.
SARA BERNHARDT ENACTS A DECIDED
LY 1RAGIC ROLE.
Fnrlons Over tlio Blacking of Her Servant's
Bye by Scene Shifters She Descends
Upon Them Like a Fnry Several Other
Byes Punched Black.
(SPECIAL TKLEGBAM TO TILE DISPATCH.!
SAN FBANCISCO. April 26. Sara Bern
hardt did a star piece of acting last uigbt,
but behind the scenes, and only professionals
witnessed it. She had just come off the
stage after the great third act, when her
Turkish servant, Angelo, rushed up to her
with one eye blacker than natural and blood
streaming from a cut over his forehead. He
had been roughly handled by several Grand
Opera House scene-shifters because he per
sisted in coming upon tne stage against in-orders
ot Mousiguor Bouvier. The sceqe
shiners promptly knocked him out wnenyne
became insolent.
Bernhardt was iu her dressing roots' when
she heard her favorite servant's jCaHs for
aid. She descended upon four scene shift
ers like a living fury and poured forth a
storm of French expletives hat would have
withered them had they' understood the
Gallic tongue. As it w'as, the only thing
they caught was her demand for her revol
ver, and as she looked as she does when she
is fingering the dagger before killing Escar
pia, they all fell back. Then the members
of the company rushed to ber assistance and
ranged themselves beside her on the stage.
The scene shifters also assembled in all
their strength, and for three-quarters of an
hour there was just as pretty a row at the
Opera House as ever occurred at Donny
brook Fair.
Meanwhile, the audience was waiting
and wondering why the performance did not
go on. Sara refused to continue unless
every man-jack of the scene-shiiters was rel
egated to the deepest pits ot oblivion and
tied there. The scene-shifters threatened to
drop half a ton load of scenery, which was
hung up in the flies, upon the great French
woman unless she subsided, but she refused
to subside and dared them to do their worst.
Finally, after several minor engagements

A SECRET CONFERENCE
OF COAX1 OPERATORS WITH Q0MPERS
HELD IN NEW YORK.
The Eight-Hoar Strlkq of Miners Said to
Have Been Averted Gompers lb BetX
cent, bat His Few Words Indicate a
Compromise.
flsrECIAI.TEI.Ea RAM TO THE DISPATCIt.t
New Yoek, April 26. Word was re
ceived in this city late to-night that repre
sentatives of the coal operators had conferred
with Samuel Gompers, President of tbe
American Federation of Labor, in
this city to-day, and that the
strike of miners all over the
country for eight hours, which was to
take place ou May 1, had been averted. A
Dispatch reporter saw Mr. Gompers at
his residence at midnight, and asked him
whether there was any truth in this story.
Mr. Gompers seemed to be annoyed at the
question, and said that as far as he knew
there was no change in the situation.
After a few minutes' conversation he ad
mitted that there had been a special meet
ing of the Executive Council ol the Federa
tion at his house during the day, at which
Chris Evans, of the miners, and P. J. Mc
Guire, of the carpenters, bad been
present. He refused to say for what
purpose the meeting had been called
or what had been discussed. When asked
whether any of the coal operators of Penn
sylvania were present at the, meeting, he
said he wasn't in a position to answer this
questiou. He would neither affirm nor deny
It, so the probability is that they were here.
Finally Mr. Gompers said: "Nothing has
been done to-day as far as I Know that will
affect the demand ot the miners for eight
hours on May 1. Whether or not anything
will be done before then, I am not in a
position to say. We had a special meeting
to-day, but 1 am very sorry that I cannot
give you any further information about it."
A labor leader whom the reporter saw
after leaving Mr. Gompers, said: "I am
inclined to thing that some of the
operators came to see Mr. Gompers to try
and arrange a compromise that would ex
tend to thu miners all over the country, and
that the conference adjourned without
reaching any definite conclusion. I ex
pected all along that there would be a con
ference of tbe heads of both sides."
KILLED BY ARSENIC.
What Was Thought to Bo Whisky Was
That Dangerous Drug.
JSFECIAI, TELEQBAJt TO THE DISPATCH.!
Denyek, April 26. The poisoning of
Mrs. Josephine Barnaby, of Providence,
R. I., while visiting Denver, continues to
be the sensation ol the bour. Prof. Sewall
said to-day: "The bottle contained no
whisky, nor could I find a perceptible trace
of alcohol in the fluid. I distilled ten cubic
centimeters of it, and no indication of alcohol
was discovered. There is no doubt that
arsenic was present in the form of a soluble
salt and in fatal quantities. lam conclud
ing a quantitive analysis, and from a rough
gness would estimate that the liquid con
tained about two graius of arsenic- to the
ounce.
"There seems every reason to believe that
the liquid which ended the lile of Mrs.
Barnaby was a diluted solution of arseuite
of potassium, tbe well known Fowler's
solution, which is not an uncommon article
in the pharmacist's stock iu trade, iu spite
of its poisouons character."

Scene of the Tragedy,
SBAKESPEAEE AOTTiiB WOJfAS'S NAME
KrEriAZ. TELEORAU TO
MPATOH.I
New York, April 26.:
progress was
officially reported by the
lice to-day iu
the work of catchin
Francois, or
"Frenchy," the alleged
itator of Jack
the detectives
the Ripper, but the
hustled in and out of
street station
to-night gave tbe impression that they were
hot on tbe trail of soqtttbing. It was said
that the detectives re watching a place
where tbe man warjfed had gone to change
the clothes after tjfe murder.
Why they shofld be watching the place
did not appearJlnless it was that they had a
tip that he ight call for the clothes he
lelt. It leajed out only at night that three
of InspeetqTByrnes' men had arrested one
of thecreJf of the steamship Philadelphia,
of the E?d "D" line in the afternoon. The
Philadelphia got into port from Curacao on
Thursday. The man whom the police have
gptris one of tbe messmen aboard the vessel,
-iT-J . : j 1U..1 A-ll 1-w 1T1
aou ue is uescriueu us :. tan, auguiui uui
fander, with a hooked nose, a scar over his
right eye and a pock mark on his left cheek.
His name was not learned.
Kept Very Carefully Oat of Sight
He was taken from the steamship abqut
3 o'clock and up to midnight had not re
turned. He was not brought to the Oak
street station and it is supposed that be has
been taken to one of the other station houses
to keep him out of sight Captain Mc
Laughliu was atlhe station house for a few
moments just alter midnight, but would
say nothing about this arrest.
It was definitely determined to-day that
the murdered woman was not the "Shakes
peare" of the Bowery, though she may have
borrowed that name. Acting Captain C re
den, of the Eldridge street police station,
admitted to-day that he was mistaken in bis
supposed recognition of the corpse.
In the Eldridge street force there are two
men Officers Dokel and Mooney who
have arrested the Bowery Shakespeare a
score of times. They looked at the mur
dered woman aud saw at a glance that she
was not the woman.
If tbe police are right in their suspicion
sthat the murderer is the Algerian, Francois
or "Frenchy," the cousin of the "Frenchy"
they have locked up at the Oak street sta
tion, they may. find him in Brooklyn. Ex
Policeman Courtlander, who used to be con
nected with the Oak street station, said
to-day: "I know the fellow they call
the cousin of tbe Frenchy tbey have
arrested, and I know pretty near where he
can be found. He is a tall, light-complex-ioned
fellow with a light, or nearly sandy,
mustache. I knew him when I was on post
down here. The last time I saw him was
about three weeks ago. He walked through
Oak and Water streets.
He. Was a Desperate Fellow
and women say he has bften threatened to
kill tjiem and cut them. He has beaten
several of them." ,

Oliver 'street, and she averred that,
"Frencby," tbe alleged murderer, had dared
to walk through Oliver street right in the
midst of the policemen and detectives on
Saturday.
"What's his business?" asked the re
porter. "All that I know about him," she re
plied, "is that he was in the fruit business
in Brooklyn."
"You are sure about that?" asked- the re
porter. "Of course I am," said Mrs. Harrington.
"I wouldn't tell you if I wasn't."
"When did you see him first?"
"Well," said Mrs. Harrington, "be was
in here on Friday morning about 11 o'clock.
He didn't appear to be excited. He asked
for his cousin, the one that is arres'ted. I
told him he wasn't here. Dublin Mar' was
in the back room there, and she spoke to
'him. 1 just had my bonnet on and was
going out to the timelier s. bbe called
to me and says: 'Oh Mame, what do yon
think of Frenchy? He stayed last night at
the Fourth Ward Hotel (the old uame
for the East River Hotel) with the
old woman Shakespeare.' I laughed; I
didn't believe he would be there with
such an old woman. Frenchy didn't say
anything, but went out. Then to-day
about noon a colored man that works in the
Nonpareil Clnb, next door, saw Frencby
walking down the street, and he came in
here and told me Frencby went to a saloon
down the street, and I guess got the tip there
that the police were looking for him and got
out."
Apparently Very Strong Evidence.
Dublin Mary, she said, saw Frencby go
to the hotel with Shakespeare on Thursday
night. Inspector Williams was at the Oak
street station early to-day, and all the wit
nesses were brought dawn from the House
of Detention and re-examined. Inspector
Byrnes came In about 2 o'clock and stayed
until after 4, leaving Inspector Williams,
Acting Inspector McLaughlin, and a lot of
his detectives about the station.
At 4:20 Sergeant Mulholland and Police
man John O'Brien, of the City Hall Park
police, arrived at the station with a man in
custody. He was 5 feet 9 inches in height,
had a yellow mustache, newly cropped, a
long nose, blue eyes, ruddy complexion and
light brown hair. He wore a light brown
fl innci shirt, blue flannel trousers, a ligbt
brown coat and waistcoat and heavy bro
gans. He walked with the step and roll of
:i sailor. He was marched Into Captain
O'Counor's office and the door was locked.
A few minutes later Captain O'Connor re
quested the reporters in the station to with
draw, and they did.
At 5.-0 the prisoner came out of the sta
tion. He walked alone, but right behind
him, within retching distance, were Acting
Inspector McLaughlin and a detective.
They walked up to the Bowery and then
toward headquarters in the same position.
There were about 20 arrests for drunken
ness iu the Oak street precinct, today, and
in every case tl e policeman and his prison
ers were followed to the station by a howling
mob of children, who cried: "Jack the Rip
perl There he lsl See him? , They've got

THE WAIXA WALIA LYNCHING.
Soldiers Confined to Their Barracks So as to

Walla Walla, Wash.. April 26.
Great excitement still prevails in the city
over the lynching of Hunt Friday night by
the sol'jiers of Superior. Judge Upton has
railed' on Colonel Compton, commanding
Fort Walla Walla, for aid in ferreting out
the guilty parties and bringing them to jus
tice. Colonel Compton Raid be would lend
all aid in his power, aud that only the mis
conception of tbe gravity of the situation on
his part prevented his taking more active
steps to prevent the trouble. Colonel
Compton stigmatized the action of the
mob as a disgrace to himself, his officers,.
the troops ana tbe entire armv. The grand
jcry has been summoned to inquire iuto the"
tragedy. The Prosecuting Attorney to-day
telegraphed to tbe Secretary of tbe War De
partment the statement that tbe authorities
were unable to protect themselves against
THXB
Ty

lawless soldiers, and asked that immediate
action be taken.
Last evening the Sheriff and the Prose
cuting Attorney received what they regard
as authentic information that the plot had
been laid by the soldiers to kill Policemen
Ames and Morse, two gamblers, T. J. Hol
hrook and Ben Taylor, and to demolish two
gambling houses. When the facts were
communicated to Colonel Comptdn, he is
sued an order that no enlisted men be al
lowed nut of the post until further orders,
and that check roll-call be made every hour
throughout the night until the danger of
further mob violence is passed. Over 100
special guards are on dnty ready to repel
any attack by the soldiers.
' BAFFLING THEM ALL.
TREASURY OFFICIALS WORRIED OVER
THAT $2 COUNTERFEIT.
It Is Almost Perfect and Is Thought to Be
Printed From a Cast of the Genuine
Plate The Work Done in the Depart
ment. IJ-JIOM A STAFF COnnESPOSDETT.1
Washington, April 26. Though the
authorities of the Treasury Department,
and Chief Meredith, of the Bureau of En
graving and Printing, refuse to talk on the
subject, they are a good deal worried over
the almost perfect $2 counterfeit Treasury
note which has recently appeared, and
which has been reported in circulation in
various parts of the country. Experts and
agents of the Secret Service have been for
some days making a carefnl investigation,
but if tbey have discovered anything im
portant, the nature of it is kept a profound
secret.
Tbe paper on which the counterfeit is
printed is api ""ntly the same as that of
the genuine,' 'nd a hint has been
thrown out v" A, b. -ting is from a cast
or duplicate of VdOG-j vUte. An ex
pert, who has exati-,0 '-' "lleged coun-
. fj
iciicil uuuer . Mruii. v-
A who is
thoroughly familiar with 00'b1s '
preparing the dies, plates anuvJky of
transferring, says that the allegeu P" ter
feit is what is known in the "profess.j" as
a counterfeit, but is in fact a reprodnctiou
from a genuine plate. He says that it is
just snch an impression as might be made
from a plate made by the process of getting
an impression from the genuine on lead or
other soft metallic surface and then transfer
ring it to bard metal.
This, he says, was probably the case, and
that it is impossible that so perfect a plate
could be made in any other way. If this
theory be correct, the impression must have
been made in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, and how this conld be done where
there is supposed to be such a perfect sys
tem of keeping the motherdie and the plates
under lock and key aud always accounted
for, is a mystery.
In speaking of the counterfeit bill. Cap
tain Meredith said to-day that the Bureau
bad never admitted, as has been published,
that the engraving of the counterfeit was
equal to the genuine note. Mr. Casilear,
the chief engraver, who was present, said it
was a mistake for the newspapers to point
out the defects in counterfeit bills, as it
gives the opportunity to correct, these mis
takes on the plate and the second edition
of counterfeits would be a decided improve
ment over the first.
RECORDED INDEBTEDNESS.
Commissioner Porter Answers One of the
Critics of the Census Bureau
"""Washington; April 26: Superintend
ent Porter, of the Census Office, has written
a letter to S. N. McLallin, of the Topeka,
Kas., Advocate, in reply to one from Mr.
McLallin in which be criticises tbe Census
Bureau's report of recorded indebtedness.
Mr. Porter makes it clear that the
Census Bureau by the terms of the law, is
restricted to inquiries as to indebtedness as
to farms and homes. Mr. Porter explains
the fact that the Census Bureau is not in
cluding all real estate mortgage indebted
ness, but confined its investigations to the
restrictions of the law. In conclusion Mr.
Porter says:
"I can only say for the purposes of this
communication that there is no explana
tions sufficient to defend the inclusion of
interest mortgages with principal mort
gages, because if this is done both the
amount of principal and the rate of interest
are misrepresented. I believe that you are
tryirig to arrive at the facts in regard to
mortgage indebtedness just as the census
office, and if you were to know what this
office has done and has been doing yon
would offer cordial support."
TREASURY PREPARATIONS
Being Made to Sleet Heavy Obligations
Before Congress Meets.
Washington, April 26. Secretary
Foster has issued the following circular,
discontinuing the redemption of the i per
cent bonds:
"With a view to reserving the residue of
the 4$ per cent loan for adjustment within
the fiscal year which begins on the
firs t day of July next, public notice is
hereby given that redemptions of the bonds
of that loan will be discontinued for the
present,-and the circular of Octobers, 1800,
under whieh redemptions have been made,
is hereby rescinded. Due public notice
will hereafter be given of the action of the
Department with respect to tbe said i per
cent, bonds."
This action taken by Secretary Foster is
believed to be the first of a series of measures
intended to put tbe Treasury in condition to
meet the heavy obligations which are ex
pected to fall due before Congress reas
sembles. SMILED ON HER OLD LOVER.

QDAI WILL NOT OFFICIATE AS JUDGE
ISPECIAL TEI.EOBAU TO TUB DISFATCK.!
Philadelphia, April 26. Although
the State Convention will hardly be held
before August, there is more than an ordi
nary amount of speculation going on among
Republicans over the probable nominees for
Auditor General and State Treasurer. But,
with all the talk that is going, there are two
things upon which there is a general con
currence of opinion, and these are that the
candidates mnst be men acceptable to the
farmer voters of the party, and that they
must not be too closely allied to any party
leader.
Although neither faction seems disposed
to ostracise any man because of bis adher
ence to Quay or to Magee, the general feel
ing among the workers is that men had
better be chosen whose Republicanism bears
no particular brand. None of the predic
tions are worth much, for at present the raca
for these positions is a "free for alL" The
leaders have made no slate, and this year
the convention will have more to say in
nominating tbe candidates than it has in a
long time.
Thompson Up for Treasurer.
There are plenty of candidates for both
places, and the nominations won't have to
go a-begging. Just now it looks as if
Speaker Thompson' had the call for the
Treasurersbip. He was the choice of tbe
country members for Speaker, and, of
course, this session has not weakened his hold
upon them. His vote has been cast for all
their measures, and the 36 Granger Re
publicans are said to be solid for him. The
influence of the country members will be
more potential this year than before, and
Mr. Thompson will get the benefit of it.
The House has other aspirants for this
position. Representative Finley, of Wash
ington county, came back this session with
the intention of being a candidate. Mr.
Finley would make an excellent officer, but
has not thus far developed much
strength. Mr. Taggart, the Montgomery
county Granger, was prominently
named for Treasurer, bat it is now
said on good authority that he
would not accent tbe nomination. Unless
all signs fail, the State Convention of 1892
will have to nominate two Congressmen at
large, and Mr. Taggart has his eye on one of
those nominations. It is possible that he
could capture this plum easier than he could
the Treasurershio, for the manufacturers in
this end of tbe State are opposed to him for
his championship of the revenue bill,
while the Cameron element have not for
gotten his opposition to Don. Br 1893
these feelings may have died ont.and then it
would not be bad politics to put him on tbe
ticket, for he has a big following among the
farmers.
Too Close to Quay and Andrews.
Chief Clerk Morrison, of Allegheny
1 county, would be regarded as an acceptable
I nm i,lilita ffir Tf..an. wa it , fnw ttis
feelfng that no one closely identified with,
any of the leaders sbonld" be put on tbe
ticket. Mr. Morrison cerved as Secretary
of the State Committee under Chairman
Andrews the two last campaigns, and it is
feared that fact might weaken him with the
,anti-Quay faction.
Senator Amos H. Mylin, of Lancaster
county, is beginning to stir himself most
actively for the Auditor Generalship. He
is a stroug mac, and it is intimated that C.
L. Magee will take a lively interest in his
behalf in the West. When Mr. Magee waa
in Harrisbnrg last week, it. is satd, they
were not only in public consultation in the
Seuate Chamber, but had a long private
talk. Senator Mylin is in to win, and may
be regarded as one of the leading candi
dates. John A. Glenn, Corporation Clerk under
Auditor General McCamant. is an aspirant
for promotion to the head of the Department.
He is thoroughly familiar with its duties,
and would likely make the most efficient
officer of any named lor the place, but, as in.
the case of Mr. Morrison, his intimate rela
tions with Senator Quay might make his
nomination an unwise one in the present
condition of Republican politics.
It is said that ex-Representative Harry
Hall, of Mercer county, has declined to be
come a candidate for the Auditor General
ship, although his friends maintain that his
wide acquaintance throughout the State,
particularly with the younger parly workers,
and his standing with both the labor and
agricultural elements, wonld have given
him a strong following.
Strong With the Grangers.
Giles D. Price, of Erie county, who is re
garded as the ablest member of the late Reve
nue Commission, would be a strong candidate
in the country counties, and there is a quiet
but earnest movement on foot in favor of
Thomas J. Edne, Secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture. His position has
given him a large acquaintance among the
lending farmers of tbe State, and, if pushed,
he might prove a formidable candidate for
the nomination.
By the time the Legislature adjourns,
things may have so shaped themselves that
a fairly accurate gness can be made as to
the composition of the next State ticket: but
just now, with the possible exception of
opeaeer lnompson, no candidate has any
thing approaching in the remotest degree
to a sure thing.
Quay Not a Dictator This Tear.
One statement may be made with posi
tiveness, and that is that Senator Quay
will take no part in the contest. The re
port that on his recent visit to this city to
confer with local Republican leaders, a
slate had been practically agreed upon, is '
entirely groundless. He indicated to no one
that he had any preference for the State
Treasurership or Auditor Generalship, but
positively stated that he would have noth
ing to do with making the nominations.
The candidates are all friends of his, al- .
though if he has any personal preference it
would likely be for Representative Burdick,
of McKean county, for State Treasurer.
That Mr. Burdick was Quay's choice for
Speaker, rather than Thompson, is a fact'
well known to all who were on the inside in
that fight.
