It Is Sow Asserted That Qnay Sent the Check for $9,000 From Beaver on October 31, and That BARDSLET HELD THE X OTE'FOE A HOKTH. The Heretofore Silent Statesman Says That Eecolleetion of the Details or the Inns action Is Indistinct. His A EFAL COMMOTION AT THK STATE CAimi Pittsburg was the political storm-center of the State last night Senator Quay, with his son Richard and David Martin, his well known Philadelphia lieutenant, met for consultation in this city. Several local Re publican leaden Jrere called in. The occa sion for this hurried conference was the Keystone due bill from Bardsley to Quay, given out by Chairman Kerr, of the Demo cratic Committee "When the Senator was aroused from his bed at Beaver by The Dispatch at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, he pronounced the certificate, so far as the date was con cerned, a forgery. He said that while his memory as to details was had, he was sure that the date was in October, not November, and added: "1 deposited the certificate here, and sent my check for 59,000 to Phila delphia." At the reporter's request Mr. Qnay wrote out the statement himself, in order to avoid the possibility of any wrong quotation. The Certificate Not a Forgery. As the certificate had gone through the Allegheny National Bank of Pittsburg for collection, an effort was at once made yes terday to securo the exact time from that institution, but the bank refused to give the date unless authorized so to do by the Senator. A telegraphic message to Mr. Quay, at Beaver, brought the following answer: Ihavo no objection to the drills .up of -the i9t of the icrtificato by the Allegheny Bank. Upon examination of the books of tlio JJcacr Deposit Bank I And the certlfl cato wasaepositcd on December 3, and the date given by Kerr is therefore presumably correct, and the connection can only be ex plained by the Philadelphia people. I have found the check. II y recollection of the de tails of the affair is indistinct, M. S. Qoat. When the dispatch was shown to Mr. Montgomery, the assistant cashier, he said the certificate was received at the Alle gheny National Bank on December 4, to be forwarded to Philadelphia for collection. As the shades of night were falling there were several important political arrivals in Pittbburg, Quay and his son coming up from Beaver, while leader Martin was a passenger from Philadelphia. Qnay ana Martin Confer Here. The Senator was interviewed at his room on the second floor of the Seventh Avenue Hotel last night in regard to the discrep ancy existing between his statements. "When the reporter knocked Dick Quay opened the door of the room. Quay was found in conversation with Mar tin. Dick Quay withdrew at once after a hurried consultation with his father. "Without delay Mr. Quay then seated him self and indicated his desire that the inter view proceed. "Mr. Quay, you are quoted as saying yon had made a mistake in your DISPATCH in terview this morning?" "I did make that statement to a evening paper, but it referred only to the dates on the check and the certificate of deposit." "How do you account for the discrepancy in your statements?" Does Not Remember the Details. t 'There is no discrepancy. If yon read the statement of this afternoon carefully and compare it with what I said to you last night you will see that I only refer in the latter one to the dates on the document. The Beaver Bank and the Allegheny National show that I must have been -n rong last night. I don't re member the details very accurately. In fact, I am not altogether clear as to any of those dates." Mr. Quay here produced an envelope from his insidecoat pocket, and, taking from it a sheet of note paper, handed it to the re porter. One bide of the sheet contained a copy of the certificate of deposit and the in dorsements published yesterday, while the other bore the following: "This certificate was paid by Keystone National Bank on or about December the fith or 6th, 1890. A credit for the same was not made until Jan uary 27, 1890, and then we find the deposit slip with thec figures on the margin of th slip: 9,000-123." The reporter here inquired where this memorandum, as it appears to be, had come from, but Mr. Martin interposed an objec tion to the question, saying it was only necessary to know that Mr. Quay had it. "If you have any doubt as to the truth contained on this paper," said Mr. Quay, "wire the receiver of the Keystone Bank at Philadelphia. That will probably satisfy you." Mr. Quay was then asked: "Did you find the note and check involved in this trans action for which you were hunting last night?" Found the Check, bat Not the Note. "I found the check, but not the note," as the replv. ''I guess I destroyed the note, as I usually do with notes." Mr. Martin suggested that probably the note had been torn up while Mr. Quay was in "Washington. "Well, it may be. I don't remember. I wish I had kept it now," answered Qua laughing. He then produced the check and allowed it to be copied, as follows: October SI, 18S9. Beaver Deposit Bank, Beaver, Pa, Pay to D id MarUn, or bearer, nine thou sand dollars. $9,000. If. S. Quat. On the back of the check were the indorse ments of David Martin and John Bardsley, and a rubber stamp impression in blue ink, which reads, "Cash item for collection and remittance to Third National Bank, Phila delphia. Thos. J. Budd, cashier." "Now," said Mr. Quay, "Mr. Martin can tell you that the note which I gave to him, as I explained before, for the Phila delphia City Committee, was dated on the same day as this check." Mr. Martin verified this statement "And," continued Mr. Quay, "the note was given as security for the check. The check went out and the proceeds were to pay the note." "But why is the certificate of deposit not dated until November 29?" was asked. A Presumption That Bardsley Held It. Mr. Martin answered: "It is the pre sumption that Bardsley held the note back until November 29 before he took it to the bank to be discounted." "As to Bardsley," said Quay, "I did not know him in this transaction. I loaned the city committee the money, and got it all back but 5123. Mr. Martin was the man to whom I turned over the check and the note. "What became of the money afterward I have no personal knowledge." This ended the interview so far as Mr. Quay -as concerned, another Gentleman having entered and claimed his attention. Mr. Martin was asked to what circum stances the city was indebted for his visit here. His reply was that he preferred not to say anything about his being here. He had come early in the evening and would leave in the morning at 1 o'clock for Phila delphia. As to the political situation in the East, he thought McCreery would surely be elected in Philadelphia, and the State ticket would get a majority of 20,000. The State would give a good majority also. 40,000 Majority for Gregg and Morrison. Senator Quay, overhearing the last re mark, turned and said: "If you do that in Pniladelphia, I think Gregg and Morrison will have 40,000 in the State" Mr. Martin absolutely declined to talk any further, and the interview was ended. Prior to the reporter's call on Mr. Quay, Mr. C. I. Magee, Chief Brown and Police Superintendent Weir fcadbeen in consulta tion with him. Mr. Magee afterward stated that his business with Mr. Quay had been merely to talk over the campaign, and had nothing to do with the Bardsley draft Mr. Brown gave about the same reply to ques tions asked him as to the nature of the con ference, i After Mr. BrOwn left the conference he, with Dick Quay and Superintendent "Weir, put in about an hour rnnning back and forth in the lower part of the city as if looking for someone. "Who it was could not be ascertained, but after a time the search seemed to be given up, and Dick Quay took a cab for Allegheny. CAUSED A SENSATION. Tnfi QUAT-BARDSLET FAC SIMILES AT THE STATE CAPITOL. Republlcau Senators TTond In Their Con demnation of Receiver Yardley Those on the Inside of Affairs Keep Their Knon ledgo Very Mnch to Themselves. Harrisutjrg, Oct. 28. Special Had the S3.877, the face value of John Bardsley 's draft to M. S. Quay, been split up into crisp $10 notes and scattered like autumn leaves through the Senate chamber there could not have been more commotion than was created to-day when the papers arrived here bearing a fuc simile of the certificate of deposit from the City Treasurer of Philadelphia. The excitement was not confined to the Re publican side of the Senate. The Demo crats were excited, too, but their agitation was of an agreeable kind, while their Re publican brethren, struggling to conceal their confusion, contented themselves by muttering bitter and profane condemnation of Mr. Yardley, who as receiver of the de funct Keystone Bank got possession of the now famous certificate, and who was respon sible for its publication. "Confound Yardley," or expressions of that character in stronger words was all the Republican Senators would say. Then, as if by magic, one and all of them seemed to lose their voices, and an army of mnscular laborers with block and tackle could not have forced one opinion from any of them. However, before the seal of secrecy had been officially placed on their lips, George Handy Smith said that City Chairman Por ter, of Philadelphia, knew all about the cer tificate. Chairman Porter promised an ex planation this evening, but when this even ing came he was missincr. If the Republican Senators have informa tion of the certificate or the transaction in which it was used they are not giving their information away. They refuse to talk on the subject privately or for publication, and if they have not received that terse and concise injunction, "don't talk," they are observing with sublime regard the order just the same. Democratic Senator Green said to-night that the certificate had evi dently been given to Senator Quay by Mr. Bardslev just as money in smaller amounts nas paid to others with whom Bardsley had dealings. The Senator argues that Bards ley contributed liberally to all persons who could control deposits for him and in this way the Quay certificate is explained by him. Attorney General Hensel and Secre tary Harrity, who might reasonably be ex pected to have information on the subject, left the city to-night AFTER CAKABIAN B00DLEBS.

Attorney Shapley's Construction of State Constitntion. the HIS IDEA OF JOHN BAKDSLEI'S CRIME ITBOlt X STAFT CORRXSFOXDEXT.l Harrisbukg, Oct, 28. Two hours of this morning's session were consumed in discussing the plan for arguing Mr. Boyer's case. The counsel for the accused were de termined to place Mr. Hensel in the role of a prosecutor, a position he has contended against since the inquiry opened. They were determined to sandwich the Attorney General in between the three of them, and would not allow him to either open or close the case. They insisted that the law officer of the State should discuss with them the question of jurisdiction, which Mr. Hensel emphatic ally refused to do, and they finally secured the passage of a resolution requiring Mr. Hensel to talk, if he talked at all, after Mr. Shapley had exhausted himself in reviewing the case and the provisions of the Constitu tion bearing on it, and Mr. Gilbert had dis cussed to his heart's content the testimony developed so far in the inquiry. A Multitude of Words. -Mr. Shapley argued the case to-day for three and a half hours.) He began talking at 11:30 and the Senate adjourned at -12:30 for lunch. Shortly after 3 o'clock, when the Senate again convened, the attorney took up hisargument and with an intermis sion of 20 minutes, talked until G o'clock, when the Senate adjourned until 11 o'clock to-morrow morning. The rule governing the Senate provided for the morning session to open at 10 o'clock, hut notwithstanding the Demo cratic protest against the unceremonious violation of the rule, the Republican side carried the motion without a minute's de lay, just as they could have carried all motions and resolutions made or presented since the opening of the extraordinary ses sion. It is now apparent that the Republican plan is to continue the argument until Fri day. They will then adjourn until after the election. They will meet on "Wednes day after the election and will pass a reso lution that the charges against Boycr have, not been proven and they will then decide the Senate has no jurisdiction in the matter and will adjourn 'without .hearing the cases of McCamant or the Philadelphia magis trates. - -.. Shapley Is. an Oratorr?- ' Attorney Shapley's argument was a mag nificent oratorical effort He is a pleasant, forcible and eloquent talker. He is a ro bust, rugged-looking gentleman. He was dressed like a tailor's model, with patent leather shoes. His fat face is naturally red as roof paint, and when"he warmed up in his argument,his features took on even a redder hue. He reviewed the case at length, and quoted liberally from a dozen authorities of more or less prominence to prove his posi tion. He reserved until the last his attack upon article 4, Eection 6, of the Constitution, the authority upon which Governor Patti son convened the Senate and asked the re moval of the accused officials. The section says: All officers elected by the people, ex cept Governor, Lieutenant Governor, mem bers of the General Assembly and Judges of the Courts of Record learned in the law, shall be removed by the Governor for reas onable cause, after due notice and full hear ing, on the address of two-thirds of the Senate. He Revises the Constitntion. The learned attorney could not destroy the effect of this authority. He argued long and earnestly that it should not be in the Constitution on the ground that it was dan gerous, and in this case he contended was misused. He read all the debates in the Constitutional Convention to prove that it did not mean just what it should, but he could not change the wording or the mean ing of the declaration. Mr. Shapley's argument was purely tech nical. He carefully avoided the serious fact obtained and brought out by the in quiry, and he did not even attempt to ex plain why Mr. Boyer did not collect the State's money when he should have made such collections, nor did he refer to Mr. Boyer's payment of 420,000 to Mr. Bards ley before it was due, but just in time to be lost to the State. Mr. Shapley began his argument by saying: You have now heard all the testimony in this ease. No one daro say that this inves tigation has not been mot thorough, search ing and complete. Yon have had the assist ance of the learned Attorney General of-tho Commonwealth, who has had unlimited op- port irtunity to present tlio case absolutely la his own way. Mr. Boyer's counsel, while protesting that yon hatt no Jurisdiction, have made no objection to your receiving and hcarinir any evidence which was of fered, no matter in What form, although it must be admitted by every lawyer in this body that the bulk ot itrwas whollv Irrel evant and would not have been admitted In any court of law in the length and breadth of the land. No Overwhelming Public Necessity. Still more, wo have insisted that you. should have before you all of the testlmonv relative to Mr. McCamant and the rebates from mercantile advertising formerly taken under the oxhaustive and searching cross examination of the" Attorney General him self, so that no one could pretend that in passing upon Mr. Boyer's case any informa tion whatever had been withheld from you. Two of the results of this investigation may be stated as follows: Pirst, no evidence has been disclosed which was not known or easily ascertainable while the Legislature was still in session and when the House of Bepresentatives could havo itself exercised its constitutional power of impeachment; second, no overwhelm ing public necessity has been shown to exist which required the setting aside or tlio two constitutional methods of removing Mr. Boyer, either by impeachment or by indictment if he was Tgullty of tho ouenses cuargea against mm, ana ot resort ing to this summary nnd at least question able method of removal, but you are now brought face to face with two questions, viz.: First, have you any constitutional authority in these proceedings to ask the Governor to remove Mr. Boyer for alleged misdemeanors in office, for which, if guilty,' he can be both Indicted and impeached? Secondly, if you decide that you have such authority, does the evidence justify and le qulre you to take such action? When Mr. Boyer was first called before you to answer these charges he respeotfullv denied your Jurisdiction, as he does now.no't because he feared to mot these charges in any proper tiibnnal, but because it was pro- Jiosedato deprive him of his office, to strip dm of his good name and character, to de grade hin before his fellow men,to send him out into the world branded for all time with shame and dishonor, and this.upon the find ing of an inquest which, it 'was claimed, bad no power to even grant him a hearing, but which would only send him for trial before a court in which his accuser Would act as Judge, Jury and executioner. DRAWING AN ALLEGED DISTINCTION. Not one word was over uttered in 'these debates to indicato that tlio Idea ever en tered tho head of any member that any human being would ever suppose that this clause referred to cases of official miscon duct already amply provided for, as well as to cases of incompetency. The words, 'Any reasonable cause,' were manifestly used to refer to nothing but cases of incompetency arising out of conditions involving no crim inality. What would such lire-long "Demo crats as Jeremiah S. Black, George W, Woodward, Charles K. Buckalew, George W. Biddle, Xewis C. Cassidy, Franklin B. Gowen, Theodore Cuyler and other distinguished Democratic! members of that convention havo said if they had been told that this clause would some dav be so construed as to enable a Republican Governor at any time, when he conld control the rotes of two-thirds of theaSenate to turn out every Democratic of ficer in the State and fill their places with his own partisans? What would the people of this State have said? What would they .say ifyouputsuch a monstrous construction upon the very in strument which they adopted to be their shield for all time against against executive ursurnationT What was a mistake on the part of the Governor, will be a crime on your part; and for the decision you render, for the precedent you establish, you will have to make answer to the people and to pos terity. An Eloquent Peroration. In a burst of ringing eloquence, Mr. Shapley said: lam not there to defend or excuse John Bardsley. He did what hundreds of stronger and better men have done and are doing everyday, in using money that is not their own for nurnoscs of speculation. The panic i Keystone came: and then the collapse of the Keystone Bank: and then the felon's cell. Sunrise brings him no gladness; and night no con solation. Day after day the hurryintr feet of the busy world will pass by his living grave, and in n few years his name and his crime will nave oeen lorgotten. uiu your decision this day w ill pass into history, and 100 years from now your children may be compelled to curse you for the wrong which you have this day done them. In the answer to the argument against the Senate's jurisdiction the Democrats will mildly refer the Senate to the prece dent established byitself last winter when, on authority of the article and section of the Constitution above quoted, Alderman Jonas P. Gilbright, of Scranton; Pa., was, by a two-thirds vote of -the Senate and on address to the Governor, removed for mis feasance in office. If the precedent goes for anything it will stand. The Scranton Alderman, it might be added, was a Demo crat Herbert. G00DBY, CAPTAIN WISHABI. The Eeader of the Law and Order League Accepts a Job In Newark. Captain "Wishart, of the Law and Order Society, has decided to seek green fields and pastures new. It was learned yesterday that he had agreed to accept the offer of the Law and Order League of Newark, N. J. To a Dispatch reporter last night the Cap tain said that he had had the matter,under consideration for some time and had finally concluded to accept the position of Secre tary of the League, and would leave for Newark next week. He declined to give any statistics on his work here of the past four years, saying he was not prepared to do so, but was very well satisfied with his work, although he thinks there is a great deal of reformation needed yet in some places. As to his policy of conducting affairs in Newark, he de clined to say just what it would be, or whether it would he conducted the same as was done injthis city.

A fire broke out at Brignoli's Station House, on .Royal street, this afternoon. A number of men were employed repairing a house next door to the old Royal concert saloon, and as the fire did not seem a serious one they attempted to remove their tools, etc from the building in which they were at Japanese Legation here have received ad work. "While they were in it the lower vices of the reported earthquake shock in floor of Brignoli's fell in, and the next minute the house next door swayed and its entire three stories came down with a crash, although the flames had not touched it. There were 15 in it at the time, four of whom were killed or buried under the debris. Ben Schneider, the boss build er in charge of the work, was fatally injured about the head and spine and internally. Jackson Montague, a bricklayer, was se verely injured. The collapse of the building was due to its inherent weakness, and it should have been condemned. It was the old Royal concert saloon, which was burnt some months ago and was being repaired or rebuilt for a new saloon, but the burnt and rotten walls had been used in the new building. The fire next door weakened and loosened these, and the entire building collapsed before any one could have expected it TILDEN GAINS HIS POINT. Though His Will Is Annulled His Library Scheme Is a Fixed Fact. NEW York, Oct 28. Although the Court of Appeals decided yesterday in favor of the contestants of Samuel J. Til den's will, thus defeating his purpose to establish a trust, the free library which the statesman desired to give the city upon his death, and which was the pet project of his declining years, has become a fact The will has been declared void in the court of last resort, but meantime the executors have effected a compromise with one of the beneficiaries, by the terms of which $2,000, 000 will, in any event, be set aside for the library. Although this is not half the amount which Mr. Tilden willed should be devoted lor the purpose, it is still sufficient to place the institution upon a substantial footing. A gentleman who is personally acquainted with Mrs. Hazard says that her action was not a compromise, in the ordinary meaning of the word. There was every prospect of the case in the Court of Appeals resulting in favor of the contestants, in which event she would'nave received at least 54,000,000. LOTTERY MEN SUMMONED.

ENOKMOUS LOSS OP LIFE. In the Town of Osaka the NnmTjer Amounts to at Least 300. . SIMILAR REPORTS FROM HIOGO. The Destruction of Houses and Property Is Also Inormons. A DESCRIPTION OP TIIE TWO TOWNS London, Oct. 28. Dispatches were re ceived here this evening from Japan, an nouncing that the telegraph wires beyond Hiogo and Osaka were down. It was added that there had been at earthquake at FJogo, and the rumor was current that j amount of property was destroyed Ao . the loss of life had been considerable; "Hiogo is a seaport town of Japan on island of Hondo, and is about 22 miles byv rail from- Osaka. Hiogo is a fine harbor at the head of the Gulf of Osaka and is ad jacent to Kobe. It is lighted with gas and has a number of fine public buildings, in cluding a Town Hall, a Custom House and Government machine filions. The seaport referred to has an extensive foreign audi coastwise trade, and a population, in Wwjof about 40,000. Like on American CI Osaka is also on the island of Hondo and on the sea 37 miles southwest of Kisto, to which place, as well as to Hiogo and Kobe, railways have been built Osaka has a large foreign trade, arsenals, a great castle, machine shops, a city hall, a mint, a college and an academy, and is traversed by canals over which are more than 1,100 bridges, some of them of iron. This city has many theaters and other places of amuseraent,and it also has 1,900 places of worship, In point of size it is the third or fourth city in Japan, but in social affairs, fashion, com merce and industry it takes the first rank. Osaka has five newspapers, hundreds of schools and a population, according to the census of 1884, of about 350,000. A private telegram dated Hiogo, received in this city to-night, confirms the report conveyed in former telegrams that a disas trous earthquake shock has occurred in Japan. This telegram says that a severe shock was experienced at Osaka, and that the destruction, both of life and property, was very great Many Persons Crushed to Death. So severe was the shock that a number of houses were thrown to the ground and many of the occupants were caught in the falling buildings and crushed to death. A large number of persons succeeded in escap ing from their pottering homes, only to meet death In the streets to which they had fled for safety from .the faHlmfdcBris. J" There is no means at present of estimate ing the total loss of life; in fact, the details of the catastrophe are very meazer,asall the telegraph wires arc broken in the dis tricts affected by the falling of thej poles, which were thrown down by the seismic disturbance. The above-mentioned private dispatch, however, states that it is known that in Osaka alone the death list contains the names of 300 of the residents of that city. A dispa'ch from "Washington says: .Neither the state department nor the Japan to-day. The Japanese Minister said to-nignc mat xne last earinqnoKe in d apan which resulted in great loss of life and property, occured about 30 years ago at this season of the year and in the same locality as the one mentioned to-day. GIBBON'S PAPAL CHANCES Considered Good in Borne, Though Austria ' May Dominate the Conclave. Rome, Oct. 28. A recent article from the pen of Signor Cesare in one of the principal Liberal organs, has made some stir in ecclesiastical circles. Signor Cesare, who is a Liberal writer of some note, and who has made a special study of ecclesiastical ques tions, contends that Austria, in the name of the Triple Alliance, ought to dominate the future conclave and procure the election of a Pope amenable to theflUggestions of a Triple Alliance. But the point of interest to Americans in the article is the vigorous opposition to the candidature of Cardinal Gibbons for the succession to the Papal chair. Among other things, Signor Cesare declares that, under Cardinal Gibbons, the church would cease to be "Roman." This attack on Car dinal Gibbons is regarded at the Vatican as the expression of the fear of the Liberals that Cardinal Gibbons might bo elected at the next conclave. The article will, how ever, have little effect, as the Cardinal is very popular here, and especially since the "Knights of Labor" incident. The na tional rivalries and jealousies which might prevent the unanimous election of an European Pope were not operated in Car dinal Gibbons' case. So his chance of elec tion is considered good. NO WAR IS PROBABLE. M. Jules Simon Itetlcent on the Question of the Egyptian Occnpation. Paris, Oct. 28. M. Jules Simon, the distinguished French statesman and politi cal economist and former chief the Repub lican party, in an interview published to day, said he. did not think war was prob able. He added: "While I was in Berlin as a delegate to the International Labor Congress Emperor "William told me that he desired peace, and the tone in which he said so left no doubt in my mind that he was sincere. The Czar also wants peace, and France will not be the nation to com mence hostilities in Europe." At another portion of the interview M. Simon was ouoted as declining to venture to say whether or not the Franco-Russian entente included the agreement to expel England from Egypt. M, Simon said that he did not credit Russia with having any designs to conquer 'India, but the speaker held that Russian expansion in Asia was only natural. A Hospital for Lepers In Bokhara.

The Institution in a Filthy Condition, Keek ins With Bags, Dirt and Vermin The Eittle Ones Kept in a Continnal State of Terror. Dublin, Oct. 28. Some startling testi mony was given to-day at the trial of Rev. Samuel Cotton, p rector at Carnough, County Kildarc, charged with criminal neglect and ill-treatment of the children in the Carnough Orphanage. Rev. Samuel Cotton, who has condncted the affairs of the orphanage for many years, has made many appeals to the public for financial aid tftid has received large sums of money by sub scription for the maintenance of the orphan age; but owing to numerous complaints the Society for the Protection of Children re cently made an investigation into the man ner in which the orphanage was conducted. and thereby a horrible state of affairs was revealed. The agents of the Children's Society found that the children of the orphanage were in an emaciated, filthy and ragged condition, and that they were covered with parasites. The toes of one of the children had rotted ofll Another, a girl, had been chained by the legs to a log. The rooms of the orphanage were also found to be in the filthiest possible condition. In the Kitchen of the orphanage was found a baby six weeks old, coverea with dirty rags and dying of cold and inanition. Other children were found in the same apartment, crouched, around a small fire, almost frozen 'and half starved. All of them were weak anil Yickly, tud their growth had Ken stunted by the treatment received. The sanitary condition of the whole establish ment was found to he perfectly horrible. The-walls and floors were in a beastly con dition, and some of the beds used by the un fortunate children were merely old boxes and packing cases filled with stale hay. It was also shown that all the children, were kept in a perpetual state of terror by Key. Mr. Cotton. That gentleman was com mitted for trial, bail, however, being allowed in order to enable him to attend the Synod of the diocese, of which body he is a member. ANOTHER ENGLISH MUTINY. Grenadier Guards, When Ordered to Eat Poor Food, Throw It Ont of a Window. LONDON, Oct 28. Truth to-day publishes an account of another mutiny in the British army, this time among the Grenadier Guards stationed at "Windsor Castle. This, the sec ond mutiny in the same battalion within about six months, had its origin in the ill feeling permeating many of the corps of the British army on account of insufficient and unpalatable rations. Upon the arrival at the Guards' barracks at "Windsor of the offi cer of the day, Lieutenant A. "W. Cotton, the privates of No. 1 Company, as pre viously agreed upon, made a formal com plaint about the quality and quantity of the food served out to them. Lieutenant Cot ton examined the food complained of, and then said that the food was good and or dered the Grenadiers to cat it; but instead the Grenadiers hurled the unsatisfactory ra tions out of the mess room windows into the barrack square. The officer of the day, as in duty bound, reported the occurrence to the commanding officer. Consequently the commanding offi cer ordered Company No. 1 to be confined to barracks for a day, add placed the cor porals or the same company under arrest pending an inquiry into the mutinous con duct of tho privates. The officers of the Guards admit that there was a row, but they refuse to give the particulars, declaring that the trouble was of a trivial nature. The Eoonomlc Straggle in France.

BRITISH CASE CITED AS A PEECEDEXT Santiago, Chile, Oct. 28. The Chilean Government has replied to Minister Egan'3 demand for on explanation ot the recent attack upon American sailors. The reply is couched in very strong language, and it is understood that it amounts to a refusal to accept the'responsibility of the affair. The State Department at "Washington has been notified. Minister Egan, Commander Schley and Consul McCreery are consulting together, and it is thought that decisive action will be taken soon. The State De partment's orders in reference to the matter are very strong. The Intendente of Valparaiso has refused to guarantee the safety of market boats coming to that city early in the morning from the United States warship Baltimore, or the safety of officers of that vessel com ing ashore at night There is a practical boycott on the Baltimore. No American sailors are allowed ashore. Great excite ment has been caused here hy a report that the Chilean Legation in "Washington, has been attacked. Senor Montt Confers With Blaine. A telegram from Washington says: As the result of an appointment made yester day, Senor Pedro Montt at noon to-day called at the Department of State to see Secretary Blaine. Yesterday, in company with Senor Romero, the Mexican Minister and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, he had called at the department It was said that he had a cablegram announcing his appoint ment as Minister from Chile to the United States, and adding that his credentials had been forwarded by mail. It was, therefore, arranged through one of the officers of the department that he should meet the Secre tary to-day. Accordingly.atpoon Senor Montt came to the department, in company with Senor Asta Buruaga, the Chilean Charge d' Af faires, left here by the late Minister Laz vano, and Mr. Julio Foster. They waited in the reception room for 15 minutes, and Senors Montt and Buruaga were then ad mitted to Secretary Blaine's office, Thein terview'lasted three-quafteifsofi&'" nour" Mr; Foster remained in waiting only ilva minutes, and then left the building. At the conclusion of the interview Senor Montt positively refused to state what had been said, and Secretary Blaine left the depart mept immediately for his house. Chile's Representative's Recognition. It is understood that Senator Montt has been recognized in a provisional way only, which puts him in the same status "as that now occupied by Minister Egan in Chile. A Minister is not regarded as fully "recog nized" until he hasbecn presented to the President, and it is not customary to do this until his former credentials have been received. In view of certain critioisms of leading English newspapers, based upon an errone ous statement, indicating that the Govern ment of the United States hod made a hasty and peremptory demand upon the Chilean Government, it may be pertinent to relate that on the 5th of December, 1863, the British Minister at Rio de Janeiro sent an ultimatum to the Brazilian Government de manding the payment of 6,525 on account of the claim of the British bark Prince of "Wales, and also a prompt satisfaction for the arrest of three officers of the British naval frigate Forte, who, in June, 1862, were taken into custody by the police guard of one of the towns of Brazil (they being in citizen's dress) far drunken ness and disorderly conduct The Minister declared that should the Government of Brazil fail to' comply with the demands he would order the admiral commanding tt British naval forces .at Rio de Janeiro to decide the questions' according to the in structions from the British Government How England Does Snch Things. The Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs replied on the 29th of December protesting against the payment, and declared that no satisfaction could be given in the case of the three officers, as no insult was offered to them. On December 31 the British Minis ter sent a letter to the British Consulate, stating that the demands of the British Legation having met with no satis faction from the Brazilian Government, he had ordered Admiral "Warren to make reprisals jipon Brazilian property until the proper satisfaction was obtained. On the same dav three British warships left the harbor of Rio, and on the 4th of January one of the British war vessels returned to the Port of Rio, and the fact was made known that five Brazilian sailing vessels and one steamer under the Brazilian flag had been captured and taken charge of by the British man of war, and were held in a Brazilian harbor on the coast of Rio. On the Cth of January a council of state was held in the City Palace, the Emperor presiding, at which it was decided that the question of the arrest of the officers of the navalTrigate Forte could be submitted to the arbitration of a friendly power, and the King of the Belgians was proposed to deter mine whether any insult was committed against the British Government by the ar rest of said three officers. The council further decided that the de mand of the British Government for dam azes on the claim of the bark Prince of "Wales, should ie paid by the Brazilian Minister in 'London, under protest, the Brazilian Government having no means of resisting the demands of the British Gov ernment The King of the Belgians de cided that no insult had been offered the Government or to the officers who had been arresten, but as a result of the incident, diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Brazil were broken off 'and not renewed until two years had elapsed. -.
