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.
No let-Up In Sight for Murphy or Any of
His Gang.
Ottawa, Oct. 23. Special Superin
tendent Sherwood left for Quebec to-day to
serve a warrant upon Hon. Thomas
McGreevy.tbat he may have an opportunity
of explaining in the courts his connection
with a gang of boodlers rfhose theiving pro
pensities and periodical raids upon the
Treasury were pretty well shown up last
session. His connection with O. E. Mur
phy, his expulsion from Parliament, and
intimate relations with the late Minister
of Public "Works, Sir Hector Langevin, are
now matters of history.
.superintendent Sherwood has also Deen
detailed to track up O. E. Murphy and
Robert McGreevy, also members of the
boodling gang, in their escape to Mexico, in
which direction they are now heading.
Murphy said when last here that he has no
fear of going to the United States, as there
was nothing in connection with his little
episode in New York for which he could be
arrested. He said he only remained in
Canada because hc could make money here,
and not because his exile was compulsory.
Boomers to Be Ejected.
Guthrie, O. T., Oct 28. Four detach
ments of cavalry have been sent out over
the Cherokee Strip to eject all boomers and
confiscate all cattle. As soon as the strip is
clear they will go into winter quarters there
and keep it clear.

AN ARGUMENT ON JURISDICTION.
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. Said he; "I never

COLLAPSE 0? A NEW SALOON.
Its Walls Were Unable to Stand the Strain
Pat Upon Them.
New Orleans, Oct 28. Special. 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.

TWO RUINED CITIES
A Great Earthrnake Deyas
tates the Fairest, Eichest
Eegion in Japan.
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,

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.

HIS nORP.IBIE CftrJEETY TO CHILDREN
IN AN ORPHANAGE.
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.
Paris, Oct 2a The Government's pro
posal to concede a reduced tariff for one
year to countries having a commercial
treaty with France is exciting much oppo
sition. Protectionists declare that the pro
posal is opposed to the economic intentions
of the Chamber of Deputies and will pro
dace commercial instability. On the other
hand, free traders are jubilant over the pro
posal. TABLE OF CONTENTS.

BLAimtfOTIFIEDAT ONCE.
The Southern Government Won't'
Assume Responsibility
FOR THE BALTIMOREAN AFFAIR.
Prior to This Eenor Montt and Blaine Have
a lengthy Talk.
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. -.
