Sett TOliK, Oct 2o. ISpcrtaL The
great billiard contest for the cliampionsliip
letveeii Jacob Schaefer and George Slosson
will le pla cd in this city to-morrow night.
It is needless to say that there is very great
Interest in the contest anion; all classes of
citizens. These two experts have played so
Hen aaint each other, and matters be
tween them hat been so evenly balanced
that the public interest in the present con
test seems to be more intense than on any
previous occasion.
Roth men have been very attentive to
practice, and during the last lew days have
been doing: some remarkable playing As a
result, betting is very lively. Schaefer, of
course, is the favorite at present, but the
supporters of Slosson are more confident in
Jbeirman this time than thev have been for
3 long time. He has performed so wonder
fully in his practice that a large amount of
Money r:!l be ir.estcd on his chances.
There is an opinion prevailing to the ef
fect that Schaefer has had considerably the
test of Slosson during their careers as
billiard playeis, but the opinion is a wrong
cne. They have contested against each
other " times, and Schaefer has won 12
games and blosson 11. ISut Schaefer on
one occasion forfeited to Slosson so that it
may reasonably be said they stand equal.
To-morrow's game, therefore, "a ill be the de
ciding contest. Thev have played seven
straight rail games, Schaefer winning four
and Slosson three. SK champion games
have been played between them, Slosson
laving four victories to his credit and
Schaefer two. They have played the balk
line game sis times, Schaefer winning five
of them and Slosson one, and they have
played cushion cartoms four times, Slosson
capturing three of the games and Schaefer
one It will thus be seen that thev are both
"in it"
Schaefer is extremely confident of vic
tory. During a conversation this evening
be said:
"I am aware that Slosson is playing ex
tremely well, and when he is in form he can
k so. But I am well satisfied with what I
bave been doing in practice, and if I am all
right to-morrow night I think I will be vic
torious. "
Slosson was also seen to day and he talked
vith ss much confidence as did Schaefer, so
that a great contest may be looked for. An
iraniense crod is expected to witness the
ffiateh, and many of New York's wealthiest
citizens will be present
POLLUTING TES GA3IS
Evil Illlccts on ISaseliall by the Action of the
American Association.
AmM all tlie prating of the Association
Magnates r-bout the purity of liaseball. the
following remarks by a Chicago authority
ivIH be Interesting:
"It 1 a foregone conclusion that the Chi
ca0 Uaseball Club of the American Associ

nuIay beer. In al! of the Association cities
lint Columbus beer is old on the grounds.
In the Iluckeyc city the saloons jusc outside

TH0SS PALSE EUM0SS.
Chitjtgo Writers Still Insist That Shnart
Will riay for Tred rreffar.
It Is amnsm; to noe how the Chicago
imiiers still insist, that bhugnrt will piny on
the proposed Amcricin Association team of
taatcity. The absolutely false statement
published regarding bliusart and Chicago is
strong evidence that downright falsehoods
are bfins circulated nboat Keckley and
others. The Chicago authot itics have every
prominent good pluver in the LcaRtiv sisned
with tuat pi opost-d club, while it is -ate to
say that not a contract of any kind has been
Eictied yet bv any player at all.
The latest is that Hamilton ofthe Phila
delphia Ijcasue team. Is to plav for the beer
tellers in Chicago. So far theieisno truth
whatever in the rumor, mid. doubtless, these
i-ame false minors will continue oven after
Becklcyandllimilton have been surned bv

Cluster and general actions or those inter

strictlysimilarto what took place when the

Knv Yohk, Oct. 25. Red hot 1 That is
what the local political cauldron is now.
Eed hot and boiling over. The air is full
of noise. The leather-lunged candidate,
the brass band, the yelling constituent, the
flare ot torch, the blare of trumpet. It
really seems as though we couldn't stand
any more of it that there couldn't be any
more of it if we conld.
Two candidates for the chief executive
office of the greatest State in the Union are
actively and in person canvassing Xew
York city. . Ward politics and ward politi
cians to the front. Flower, the Democrat,
in a dress suit, doing church fairs, and
Fassett, the Republican, exquisite, doing
the slums with his coat olE Heavens alive!
What a reversal of time honored methods
and preconceived political notions!
I challenge any State in the Union to
produce not the counterpart of this week's
canvass; that would be beyond the bounds
of possibilitv to show anything approach
ing it in littleness and contemptibleness of
campaign claptrap. Even Xew York.the
fountain head of political provincialism,
never experienced tne like before.
A CAMPAIGN OF S3IAT.I. MEN.
It is the campaign of small men and the
slangw hanging methods ofthe country poli
tician are inseparable from it. Public con
tempt for such methods is sought to be
smothered in noise. Tho candidate for Gov
ernor of the great State of Xew York, an
office held and honored by statesmen and
Presidents, who barely escapes public ridi
cule in this personal canvass, is a shining
disgrace to the party of one-time principles
and ideas and human progress that nomi
nated him. He has unhappily succeeded in
bringing down the newspaper press, the op
posing candidates, the entire populace and
the party working machinery to his level
the level of a cross-road politician and ward
heeler. All circumstances considered the
result could scarcely be otherwise. For how
can such a man be met except upon his own
groumh".
Uontr-sted with such men as bamuei J.
Tildec, Grover Cleveland and David Ben
nett Hill, Cand'daie Roswell P. Flower is
a small man. By the side of -Candidate J.
Sloat Fassctt Mr. Flower is respectability
approaching moral and intellectual great
ness. But don't deal in such contracts,
please, unless you have a stiff stomach.
SOME CAMPAIGN TRICKS.
A good deal of ridicule was once ex
pended upon an Indiana politician, who
used to don a hickory shirt and overalls
just before election and go to chopping cord
wood on his farm in qilain vew from the
puhlii road. That schemes antedates the
well-wonusaying of Qur.y to his candidate
for Governor "Say nothing, but saw
wood." In the Indiana case the scheme
worked, and tho wood-chopper was re
turned to Congress. A similar case in
the same State was wherein the op
posing candidate was completely
routed because it was everywhere
declared and proven on the stump that he
habituallv wore a nightshirt when he went
to bed. Thess facts afforded considerable
amusement to the Eastern press, and evoked
no end of ridicule and condemnation from
political moralists. They were the evi
dences of a crude civilization. That was a
Ions time ago. Such petty political tricks
would no loncer injure to the benefit of
thos2 who practiced them even in the most
benighted regions ofthe Hoosier State.
For a quarter of a century the Guberna
torial acts and utterances of the Mortons
and Hendricks and Harrisons and Grays of
Indiana have been the acts and utterances
of gentlemen and statesmen. It would be
impossible tor an intelligent elector of to
day to conceive of a candidate for Governor
running around nights in a cab to cover
ward meetings, pulling off his coat and
collar on the stand to impress workingmen
with the idea that he did not feel himself
above them ofthe same candidate pushing
a glass of water aside with ostentations con
tempt before a gathering of Germans to con
vey his preference for beer.
FASSETT'S PECULIAR PLAN.
Yet this is just the canvass that the Re
publican candidate for Governor is giving
us this week. Bad and contemptible as are
such political methods in the rncged and
sockless type of country politicians, with
what temp'erate language can we express our
feelings when they are adopted by a bril
liant young man of aristocratic birth", educa
tion, culture and wealth who is a candidate
for Governor of Xew Y'ork? A man who is
on the black list of half the labor societies
in the State. Words of seriousness are in
adequate, ridicule and sarcasm are wasted,
and the most stinging invective is but the
gentle prattle of a child over its rattle.
The Democratic leaders are delighted with
the silly demagogy of Candidate Fassett.
"If he had two or three weeks,' length to his
rope," they say," "he would hang himself
by 50,000 Democratic majority." As it is,
it is claimed that Flowers' majority will be
all the way from 25,000 to 35,000. It can
scarcely be expected that the Republican
managers will give up the fight, or that they
w ill exhibit any lack of confidence in their
ultimate success. But from per
sons of their political faith who
are in daily consultation with the Re
publican leaders, I am privately informed
that it is possible that Flower will be
elected by trom 10,000 to 12,000 majority.
Ex-Senator Kellogg, an ardent Republican
and one of the shrewdest all 'round judges
in such matters, thinks it is safe to bet on
10,000 majority for Flower. These are Re
publican estimates, and may be considered
conservative and founded upon the pre
sumption of a close canvass. I should not
be surprised, m view of existing conditions,
if the Democratic majority reaches 25,000.
It will have to go up as high, and perhaps
even higher than that, in order to make an
appreciable change iu the complexion of
the Legislature
THE NEW YORK GERRY3IANDER.
The present legislative apportionment in
this State is an outrage upon the majority
and should be called a disproportionment,
if a recoinaze of words is necessary to ex
press it. While a majority may and does
control the State administration, the minor
ity really governs the State or prevents its
government bv the majority through the
I.-egislature. It is impossible, under the
one-sided apportionment for the Demo
crats to gain the Legislature unless they
can elect the State ticket by from 25,000
to 50,000 majority. Any reversal of legis
lative power must be gained through the
rural Republican districts. At present 17
Republican Assembly districts require but
31,000 population, while 17 Democratic dis
tricts require 05,000 each. Democratic Uew
York City has but one Assemblyman lor
eacli 63,000 inhabitants.
The stereopticon man is getting in his
customary campaign work on Madison
Square. Public interest in politics may'be
pretty accurately gauged by the crowds
that turn out at meetings; but the stereop
ticon that faces you on Broadway forces the
subject on you whether yon go to pub
lic meetings or not. As the campaign
draws to a close thousands "of
people may be seen standing in the
park and crowding the sidewalks every
night for hours studying the political wit
and wisdom displayed in the big round
disk. The Democratic managers control
the thing. Here are the chance points of a
night:
THE WORLD'S FAIR ISSUE.
"Flower spent thousands to get the Fair
her; Fassett drove it away."
"Fassett dodged the female inspectors
bill."
" Things are not as they used to be and

"Democratic Time" (Picture of big
watch with working lever a jeweler's

"Fassett's treacherv in the World's Fair
matter diverted ?300,000,000 from Xew
York."
These campaign cries will illustrate the
local issues as well as a ten-column speech.
And how about Mr. Roswell P. Flower?
Well, Flower is doing himself infinite
credit thus far. That is to saj', he has not
let himself down to the level of Mr. Fas
set's canvass, but maintains something
of the dignity of his altitude in
Congress, which was that of a
nice, harmless, easy going gentleman
weighing some 200 pounds. He doesn't
have to break his record. All he has to do
is to go round ponderously saying pleasant
things in his usual calm and studied style
and let the other fellow rip, snort and tear
about and tread down the corn. Mr. Flower,
to use a powerlul and well polished Ameri
canism, has a soft snap.
The campaign badges possess a satirical
significance. A blue button, an inch in
diameter, with "Our Candidate" and the
diminutive picture of a common wooden
ciderbarrel faucet, hits off the Republican
candidate. Xot less humorous is the "Our
Candidate Is a " nnd the picture of a
nice little rich-centered oleoginous daisy.
THE TAJIJIASr CRY.
Candidate Fassett would make a better
imprersiou upon a Xew York audience in
his attacks upon Tammany and its alleged
corrupt rule in this municipality if he
hadn't been the- Chairman of a legislative
committee organized at his and Piatt's in
stigation that recently sat for a year with
full powers unsparingly used for the ex
press purpose of getting campaign material
for this election and failed to discover any
evidences of the terrible frauds now said to
exist in the citv administration.
"Shall Tammany rule this State?" That
is the awful query upon which the guber
natorial ward canvass is being conducted.
Well, unprejudiced people admit that Tam
many is giving Xew York city about the
best and cleanest government it ever had.
That isn't saying much, but it goes. If any
serious crookednes: prevailed perhaps Fas
sett's legislative committee with its pro
fessional experts would have found it out.
Aud if it had been found out perhaps
ths County Democracy and oil
the rest of the Democratic op
position to Tammany wouldn't have
gone to pieces for want of mental pabulum
or excuse for further existence. And it may
be that if Tammany has become so circum
spect and controls the majority ofthe party
that carries this election it can be safely
trusted in State allairs. The choice ot the
good citizen at the worst lies between Boss
Piatt and the "Jiger." Otherwise he must
go off and flock by himself.
The betting now runs ?1,000 to S700 in
favor of Flower. Even money is offered on
10,000 majority. Few bets are made as yet,
though that end ofthe campaign is looking
up. Billy Edwards, at the Hoffman, ex
pects to hold considerable money before the

""TJtrr AFBAID OF A HITCH:
Major Moreland Thinks the Special Elec
tion Will Be Legal.
A claim has been made by certain Alle
gheny city officials that those of Pittsburg
had overlooked a feature of the election
laws in their preparation for the special
election by which the people are to decide
whether or not the city's bonded indebted
ness shall be increased. The Alleghenians
claim that under an amendment passed at
toe last legislature all elections tor an in
crease of indebtedness hall be held on the
day of municipal or general election, unless
more than 90 days elapse between the date
of the ordinance and the date of the elec
tion, and that consequently Pittsburg was
preparing for such an election contrary to
that law.
City Attorney .Moreland was sben at his
residence last night, and when asked about
the matter, seemed to think it a trifling one.
"I have not a copy of the amendment
here," said he, "but tlie Mayor, the Con
troller and myself have gone over the ques
tion thoroughly several times in preparing
the ordinance, the Mayor's proclamation
and other matters connected with this
special election, and I feel sure we would
have discovered anything so important as
you suggest. We are acting under a law
passed in 1874. The amendment referred to
applies to section 3 of that law, but has
very little effect upon it and docs not
change the main ingredients. In that sec
tion you will find this reading, which the
amendment does not charge.
The corporate authorities of such munici
palities, shall, in all cases, tlx tho time of
holding such election on the day of the mu
nicipil or general election, unless more than
90 days elapse between the date of the ordi
nance or vote desiring such increase and
the day of holdinjr tho said municipal or
general election. If any other day ho llxed
for such holdinjr, the cxnenso of holdinc the
same shall be paid by the municipality for
the benefit of which it shall be held.
Major Moreland thought the Allegheny
officials were probably inventing an excuse
whereby they could squeeze through an in
crease of "indebtedness at the com
ing general election in that city. Speaking
further of the election proclamation, the
Major said it would De published once each
week, beginning this week, until the date
fixed for the election, December 8, and it
will lje so carefully drawn that it will ex
plain fully the purpose, of the special elec
tion. Mayor Gourley said of the claim set up
by the Allegheny officials that he had
looked over the law and had seen nothing
of the character indicated. The City At
torney had also examined into the question
closely, the Mayor said, and it tas unlikely
that he would overlook such an important
point.

the
A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION IS. UP
Paris, Oct. 25. The new tariff act can
not be promulgated before the end
of the present year. Therefore there
will not be sufficient time to make it the
subject of negotiations between the powers
before the treaties with them lapse. The
Government, accordingly, will introduce in
the Chamber of Deputies a bill to authorize
them to establish commercial relations with
foreign nations during the year 1892.
The minimum tariff will be applied toBel
gium, Holland, Switzerland, Spain, Portu
gal and Sweden, the treaties with which
will expire in February, on condition that
those powers grant France their lowest tar
iff rates. The minimum tariff will also be
conceded to those countries now having the
"most favored nation" treaties, which in
clude Great Britain, -Russia, Mexico and
Turkey. On the other hand, the United
States, Italy and Roumania nre subject to
the maximum tariff. The French Govern
ment will request the powers to revive, dur
ing the year 1892, the treaties relating to
navigation, trade marks, eta
Tnn STOBY OF THE CONTEST.
The history of the debate in the Senate
Tariff Committee in regard to the propo
sition for rescinding the prohibition of the
importation of American pork, goes to show
that the Senators who are opposed first urged
a duty of 35f per hundred Kilos in lieu of
the rescinding, contending that that hgure
was about the same placed on pork under
the McKinley bill. The proposal having
been rejected, the opposing Senators then
suggested 30f for 100 kilos. After a long
debate this also was voted down.
The measure at length passed when
amended to read "25 francs per 100 kilos,"
and the opposing Senators think it ought
not to go lower than Germany's rate. The
Government, however, will demand that
the Senate vote the 20 franc rate, so to
agree to the proposition as it has already
passed the Chamber of Deputies. The Sen
ate is likely to ultimately support the Gov
ernment demand.
Senator DeCauville, in an interview yes
terday, said that the fact that the hygenic
objection to the introduction of American
pork had quite disappeared would greatly
help the measure through the Senate. "I,
for one," continued the Senator, "am con
vinced that the general condition of Ameri
can swine has grown better."
A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION RAISED.
M. Leroy Bculieu, the economist and
President of the Wine Growers' Society,
has published an article in the Hconomiste
Frartcaiv, in which he contends that the
Senate has no constitutional right to raise
the tariff rates, which have been fixed
by . the Chamber of Deputies.
Since the Senate has no power
to create new taxes, M. Beulieu holds that
it cannot vote1 to increase them, although it
may reduce duties. If the question of the
limitation of the rights ofthe Senate is ac
tively raised it is certain to lead to a con
flict between the two houses and delay the
passage ofthe tariff bill.
The Government is about to appoint M.
Eugene Speuller, the well-known politician
and formerly Minister of Foreign Afi'airs.to
the position of Chief Commissioner for
France at the Chicago Columbian Exposi
tion. M. Speuller has already made a visit
to the United Statjis, and will no doubt be
a valuable man in.his new place. M. Marrc
Millas, who was chief of the foreign section
of the great ExposUiou of yrSSS, will be a
fellow member, aW M. Briyvaert, the
French Consul Gene'ral at Chicago, will be
an assistant commissioner.
D1LI0N ON THE IRISH SITUATION.
II tho Spirit of Faction Grows There Is No
Home Ilulo In Prospect.
Dublin, Oct. 25. John Dillon addressed
a demonstration of workingmen at Dun
dalk yesterday and made a flattering appeal
for their support. He dilated upon the
stupidity of trying to quarrel with England
after all the trouble and time that has been
occupied in securing her friendship. It
was a terrible thing to ask Ireland, with her
steadily dwindling population, to break
with 3tr. Gladstone at the risk of postpon
ing home rule for another decade.
Mr. Redmond could not pretend that Ire
land would unite under his leadership. If
this spirit of faction is permitted to spread,
before two years were over they would have
as many parties as there are Irish
members, nnd be in the same posi
tion as they were 15 years ago,
when every man was for himself. No
success was possible wltfle the minority re
fused to be governed by the majority. He
believed that Mr. Gladstone was sincere in
his Home Rule ideas, but if his bill were
inadequate he (Dillon) would be the first
to denounce it and oust the Liberals from
power, if necessary.
HYACIHTHE'S LATEST SPEECH.
He Condemns Supeislition and the Agita
tion for Temporal Power.
Pahis, Oct. 2o. Pere Hyacinthe deliv
ered an address in the Gallican Church, in
Paris, tp-day on behalf of the movement for
the revision of the Concordat. In his ad
dress the speaker disclaimed any intention
to attack the Catholic religion, but he con
demned superstitious abuses, such as the
Lourdes Vision and the Treves Holy Coat,
and he made a vehement attack on the
Pope's temporal power agitation as incon
sistent with his priestlv office.
He said he honored Pope Leo for his ex
emplary virtues anil courage, bnt not as a
pretender to the possession of Italiau soil
and to the right to enjoy exceptional laws
which would recognize him as an earthly
potentate. Pius IX. he regarded as a sin
cere man, but he was too vigorous a dip
lomatist, who would have done wisely to
heed the will of the Italian people and sub
mit to the country's laws.

OPERATORS WANT MINERS.
President Costello Receives "Letters Asltlnff
tor Men In tho Ohio Fields Matter to
Bo Attended to at the Convention To
I)ay tabor Doings.
Everything was quiet in labor circles in
the city yesterday. Saturday night Na
tional President Rae left for his home in
Columbns to spend Sunday and the miners
attending the convention of the strikers
also spent Sunday at their homes.
In the afternoon the Committee of In
quiry ofthe K. of L. and the theatrical
'mechanics held meetings, but nothing ex
cept routine business was transacted. In
the evening the Educational Committee of
the K. of L. held its usual Sunday night
debate. The question last night
was "Shall parents be compelled to send
their children, between the ages of 7 aud 14,
to school nine months in 'the year, five
months of which time will be consecutive?"
President Costello did not come down
to the K. of L. headquarters until
last night. He said: "About the only
happening to-day was the receipt of several
letters from coal operators in Ohio asking
for miners. The letters were from Bves-
ville and the Hocking Valley. In all thcyi
waul aooui avv miners. The aemana
is caused by the strike, as those
mines are now getting more
orders, and can use more men. I have not
agreed to send any men, however, and will
not until after I see the outcome of the
present convention. The convention -will
reassemble to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock,
and I think will not last throughout the
dav. The principal matter underdiscussion
will be the report of the Resolution Com
mittee. ".None ofthe operators have asked to be
admitted to the session, and I think there
will be no outsiders present. President
Rae will be back to-morrow in time for the
opening ofthe convention."
AGAINST THE HUNS.
Some
Operators and Others Opposed to
Hiring Foreign Iaborers.
A number of the representative men of
the Monongahcla and Youghiogheny
Valleys were seen yesterday as to their
opinion of bringing foreign labor into the
district to take the places of the striking
miners. They all expressed themselves as
opposed to it.
Hon. F. B. Finley, Representative from
the Monongahela district, said: "I am on
posed to Hungarian labor, as it would lead
to trouble with the miners. They are a
very undesirable element to introduce into
a community, as they have nothing in com
mon with the people, and seem to be al
ways coming in conflict with them. I sin
cerely hope they will not be placed in the
mines."
Ex-Mayor J. M. Grable, of Monongahela
City, said: "If they bring Huns here to
take the place of the native workmen they
must stand the disapproval of those who
have the interests of the valley at heart.
They never have and never can become a
part of our people. Iff every respect they
are opposed to us.
"The miners would not tolerate any such
action, and I hear if any foreigners were
brought in there would be a clash between
them and the miners."
Henry Florsheim, operator of the Not
tingham and Germania mines, at Finley
ville, the first operator to pay the advance
to his miners, was of a like opinion. Other
men interviewed expressed similar views.
It is feared bloodshed will follow if Huns
are brought to work in the mines.
Assisted by the Jllver Mines.
It now looks as if the river mines would
knock out the strike on the railroad mines.
.They are all filling railroad contracts, and
boats of coal are unloaded into cars as far
up the river as McKcesport. At all of the
iron works from Pittsburg to McKeesport
barges are run into the bank and coal is
loaded directly from wharves to the works.
Only Two Sllnes Knnnlng.
A telegram from Finleyville states that
Cook & Florsheim's mines, in the "Wheeling
division, are running night and day. These
are the only mines that are doing more
than a show at work, and the last pay of
the men amounted to nearly 14,000.
A Itallroad Conductors' Convention.
W. B. Chislett, John G. Miller. Captain
Hodge and M. AV. Forbes, all Pennsylvania
Railroad brakemen, started to Hartford,
Conn., last night to attend a convention of

A Move In the Lchman-CIlllds Fi;lit,
Joiixstowx. Oct 25. Special As a
sequel to the timber fight between the Leh
man and Childs factions over the possession
of some land, Sheriff Good created conster
nation in the camp of the attacking party
to-day by announcing that Deputy John A.
Walter was without any authority in makincr
war on the farmers. Lehman at once en
tered suit against the constable for exceed
ing his authority. Meanwhile the doughty
farmers have held their ground, and will
likely continue to do so.
Beat Ills Wife and Then Deserted Her.
John R. Daniels was sent to jail yester
day for a hearing on Tuesday by Alderman
Succop on a charge of assault and battery
preferred by his wife. The couple have
only been married a short time and on Fri
day evening attended a party. Mrs. Daniels
met art old friend and danced with him,
which made John mad, and on their arrival
home, it is alleged, he struck her, after
which he packed up and left. At the station
house yesterday the usual kiss-and-forgive
scene was enacted.
A Bailroad Station Agent Mlsslnf.
Youxgstown, Oct. 23. Special Frank
Elliott, agent and operator of the Pittsburg
and Western Railroad at Girard, has disap
peared and it is reported he has left a large
shortage. One report is that he appropri
ated an express package containing 54,000,
and emptying the cash drawer boarded a
train for Chicago. Elliott was a frequent
visitor here and sustained a good reputa
tion. Relatives assert that they have heard
from him in Chicago, and if any shortage
exists it will be made good.

A HATRED OF ALIENS
At the Bottom of the Revolutionary
Adtation in the Orient.
OPINIONS OP NEW YORK CHINESE.
"Russia and China Are to Unite igainst
England and America.
INTEREST IN CELESTIAL POLITICS
New xork, Oct. 23. A letter has been
received by the Chinese Merchants' Union,
of this city, which discloses what is claimed
to be the true statement of the revolution
ary spirit in China. It also gives the first
information of an alleged conspiracy in
which a trusted general of the Emperor is
said to be engaged with the supreme head
of a Chinese secret Society.
A Council of the Empire recently sat in
Peking to consider the reports of the Gen
erals transmitted from the towns near
Shanghai -where the riots took place. The
General united in declaring the missionaries
innocent of the charges made against them.
They declared they were boldly invented to
arouse the dormant hatred among the people
against them.
The Government's attitude of protection
to missionaries is creating excitement which
grows in intensity. Pung Yok Lung is one
of the highest military men of the Empire.
He is about 60 years old, and has been an
active adherent of the Mongolian dynasty,
against which there has been some popular
discontent.
THE HATRED OF FOREICXERS.
Pung Yok Lung is as determined in his
hatred to foreigners of every kind as he has
been loyal to the dynasty. This revival of
agitation against foreigners and the Gov
ernment's attitude in their defense places
this trusted veteran in a peculiar position.
Leu Yee, the Supreme Masterof thcGong
Ye Tong, has been a lifelong enemv of Pung
Yok Lung. The Gong Ye Tong is the
Chinese secret society, to which, it is
claimed, 200,000,000 of China's 500.000,000 of
people belong. Its power is beyond estima
tion and its movements are feared. Pung
Yok Lung has been an ardent enemy of this
society. While always conservative in
domestic aflairs, the society has taken
np the popular cry against foreigners.
Pung Yok Lnng, it is whispered, has al
tered his attitude toward the society on this
account, though the organization is still
against the present dynasty. It is the talk
among merchants that he has established
friendly relationship with his old enmy,
Leu Yee, for a common purpose, which may
result in a wholesale assassination of for
eigners. Leu Yee is 83 years old. He holds con
trol ot a small principality, with the city of
Ong Horn. This city Leu Yee conquered
from the French.
SEEKING A HOSTILE ALLIANCE.
Leu Yee is anxious to form any alliance
which will extirpate foreigners. Leu Yee
is forcing azitation, and, it is claimed, inti
mates that Pung Yok Lung will join the
movement. These whispered insinnations
against Pung Yok Lung have created ex
citement. He is known to secretly detest
the Government policy of protection to for
eigners. It is believed that Leu Yee's plotting
will break out seriously. Leu Yee's flag is
black. The Gong Ye Tong flag is red.
When these colors wave in civil conflict
against foreigners, over whom the protective
yellow flag of the Government must float,
merchants are inquiring where Pung Yok
Lung will be found.
Chinese merchants in New York are ex
cited over this letter and its startling news.
They are with unanimity in favor of driv
ing foreigners out o. China in return for
the outrages they claim have been put upon
them here. Only those with close official
relationships refrain from expressing sym
pathy with Leu Yee's movements. Strange
ideas prevail among the Chinese merchants
regarding the present attitude ofthe "United
States and England. There is a prevalent
belief that these countries are planning to
attack China on account of the killing of
missionaries.
CHINA AND RUSSIA TO UNITE.
This belief has been industriously circu
lated in China by the Gong Ye Tong, and
Chinese here cite their information from
China as authority for their belief. They
insist that, in case of war. China would re
ceive the help of Russia. They believe that
China and Russia could defeat any com
bined attack of England and the United
States.
The probabilitv'of Leu Yee's revolution
taking place is the nil absorbing topic of
-conversation. It is estimated from carelul
inquiries that two-thirds of the New York
Chinese believe that, once inaugurated, even
the Mandarins would join in a successful cru
sade against foreigners. They are in close
communication with friends in China. Some
of the merchants get reliable information
from high authority. The French war, in
which Leu Yee was so prominent, excited
little interest compared with the present
situation. Home politics are being dis
cussed as never before, in every laundry
and store.
FIGHTING FOR A BOY BIGAMIST.
Ills Custody a Question at Law Between
Authorities of Two States.
PARKERSBlTRf;, Oct. 25. Special"
Chief of Polici Meher is herefrom Ohio
and failed to bring back with, him the boy
bigamist, Roy Romack, the case having be
come a legal question between the Ohio and
West, Virginia authorities. As the Chief
of Police of Bcllaire, O., arrested the boy,
instead of the Sheriff ot Belmont county.
the law requires that the accused be turned
over to the Sheriff of the county, and on
this point there will be a fight and delay.
The first trial held yesterday resulted in
a postponement, thoueh Meher produced
the license authorizing Romack's marriage
with a woman who afterward turned out to
be his second wife. Rev. Mr. Malcolm, the
minister here who married the boy to Miss
Friendly, has been found and to-morrow
will go to St. Clairsville, where the case
will be heard again.
Count Arco-Valley's Successor.
Washington, Oct. 25. It is authorita
tively announced here to-night that Dr. von
Holleben, German Minister to Japan, has
been appointed Minister to the United
States, to succeed the late Count Arco-Val-ley.
Dr. Holleben is about 50 years of age,

from Ruenos Ayres, where he had been
Minister for four years. Previous to tliat
he was Charsed'Aflaire toPekin andTokio,
and conducted the negotiations for a treaty
between the Japanese and German Govern

Rifle Practice Season Extended Two Weeks.
The season for target practice in tho
National Guard, which was to have closed
on next Saturday, has been extended fwo
'weeks, and until Saturday November 14,
the work of qualifying as marksman and
sharpshooters can be continued. There was
a general desire all over theState for this
and as many ot the companies, notably in
the First and Second brigades, had not had
facilities in the early part of the season,
the step was decided upon. During tho
coming week an order will be issued ex
tending all dates in the last general order
for fourteen days. This information is
positive and can be relied upon.
Mike Dwteb, of the Perrysville road, was
sent to the Allegheny General Hospital last
night. He was suffering from a dislocation,
of the shoulder, and a severe scalp wound
inflicted by his brother, with whom lie quar
reled several days ago.
