QUAKER CITY APPKAISERS INDICTED.
ITKOM A STAFF COERESPOXPEVT.l
Hakeisburg, Oct 30. At 2 o'clock this
afternoon the Senate adjourned until
"Wednesday next The three weeks of time
consumed has not accomplished anything
other than to demonstrate what Tub Dis
patch outlined at the opening of the ses
sion, that there would be no decision before
the election and that the decision will be
"not guilty," regardless of the evidence or
the testimony brought out
Attorney General Hensel requested the
Senate to remain in session to-morrow and
hear what he bad to say on the case, but
Senator Grady, who had gone to Philadel
phia and had induced Shields and Sulz
berger to come and by arguing the case of the
accused magistrates delay proceedings until
after the election, insisted upon-an adjourn
ment, with an utter disregard to decency,
aed without even considering party policy..
Nobody Allowed to Protest.
The motion to adjourn until "Wednesday
next was rushed -through eo rapidly that no
one was able to protest against the proceed
ings. It was apparent that the delay had
"been carefully planned andthad been posi
tively arranged. The Attorney General sat
at his desk to-day as he did the day previous
ready to close the Boyer case, but he was
suable to get in even a word in protest of
what he privately termed "a disgraceful
contest"
Everything indicates that the programme
marked out by The Dispatch will be
faithfully followed, and that after the elec
tion it will be decided that the Senate has
no jurisdiction, and that the accused will
be declared innocent, notwithstanding the
evidence brought out against them.
"Under the arrangement to delay the pro
ceedings to prevent the Attorney General
from reciting his position on 'the case,
Mayer Sulzberger, Esq., of counsel for the
Philadelphia magistrates, to-day began his
argument -on the question of jurisdiction.
Admitted the Governor's Power.
Sulzberger is a. pleasing and forcible
speaker, and .pursued in a slightly different
way the line of argument followed by the
titer counsel in the controversy over the
iwwer of the Senate. He declared this to
the -m unique session and extraordinary in
morcVaj-s than one. He said there was no,
doubt about the Governor's power to con
vene the Senate in extra session for execu
tive business, but-it .remains for the Senate
to determine whether f he matters submitted
to it for consideration are within the scope
of executive or judicial functions.
He cited authorities to show that-this is
an accepted principle of common law. The
Governor may not through caprice, nor
through a desire to magnify an unimportant
event, convene the Scnate,.but only on ex
traordinary occasions. Never before had
Parliament or the Legislature been called
together to pass upon indictable offenses. It
was a grave reflection, the attorney said,
upon the judicial department of the State.
If these officials have committed an offense
gainst the laws of the Commonwealth, the
ordinary courts have ample power to deal
with them.
Not an Extraordinary Occasion.
The counsel held that the extraordinary
occasion is wanting and there was no reason
for calling upon the reserve power of the
Governor. It is never in the power of the
Governor lossy that lie is wiser than the
Constitution. The Executive business of
tke Senate, he said, was the confirmation of
nominations of the Governor.
Mr. Sulzberger said removal by address
was a vulgarized and cheapened form of
impeachment, aud criticised at some length
the section of the constitution upon
which the Governor acted. He said it was
attorning over, in one sene, of the ordinary
impeaching powers. He maintained, at
x ariaocc w ith the counsel, that in the ad
dress contemplated by the Constitution the
rjenate would be the impeaching power and
tlie Governor a quasi judicial power to trv,
tinder vhich construction the ordinary ac
cusing jHwers of the House are transferred
t he Senate and the right to give notice,
to bear, try and determine the reasonable
caue was the function of the Governor.
Tie attorney dwelt at length upon the
powers residing in the Senate and attempted
to show wherein the preent proceeding
was entirely opposed to the thought and in
test f the fotinders of the Constitution,
whose purpose was to curb and restrain ex
ecutive power. He questioned.the right of
tlie. Governor to usurp the rights of the
people by formulating charges which he
wosld, tinder such a construction, have to
ceaader judicially.
Argoing in a Sarcastic Vein.
He declared that all the Senate had to do
was to leave the liberties of the people to
ibe Governor and his able Attorney Gen
eral and go home. There was no reason
liv they should waste the gray matter, of
winch no one has too much, in devising
laws for the good of the people when they
are thus relieved of all this labor. He de
clared that the proposition to turn the of
fices of the State over to a combination
consisting of the Governor and two
ilnrds of the Senate was like appointing
ijrnardian without appealing to the Or
phans Court He ridiculed the whole idea
auil claimed its absolute absurdity.
He said the power of address was de
signed for the removal of persons appointed
by the Governor and who were ohjectiona
We to the people. He then went into a
definition of what is and what is not execu
tive business. He held that the lesponsi
Wlnj of the initiation of such a proceeding
rested -w ih the Senate and not -n ith the
Goemor, who had nothing to do until ad
lrtfssd by the Senate. He aid the view

of the matter taken by the Governor was
simply turning the Constitution topsy
turvy. He declared the Governor had no
power to message the Senate in extra ses
sion; that this could be done only when the
General Assembly is convened. He 'de
picted the act of the Attorney General in
cleverly agreeing to assist the Senate as the
voice of Jacob, but the hand of Esau, and
created a laugh at the expense of Mr. Hen
sel in portraying the latter's anomalous po
sition in such a position.
The Speech Made to Empty Seats.
Mr. Sulzberger discussed the phrase in
the article of the Constitution regarding re
moval by address of the Senate, and also
what is meant by "reasonable cause." He
defined the word as meaning a cause, ac
cording to the Constitution for more than
100 years, not of sufficient ground to war
rant impeachment. In conclusion he said
it was the duty of the Senators to hand over
to their successors the Constitution unim
paired. He had tried, he said, to picture
the powers of the various departments of
the State Government, and great would be
he who stood out against an y influence
which would interfere with the rights of the
people. He adjured the Senators to cast
aside all thoughts of temporary advantage
and cast their votes on this question for the
best interest of the dear old Commonwealth.
The Senate then adjourned until 8 o'clock
next "Wednesday evening. There was little
attention paid to the argument by the Phil
adelphia attorney. He talked for two hours
to empty seats, and when the military
cadets fifed past the State House even the
gallery occupants joined the Senators in
rushing out to see the young soldiers. The
cadets filed by with tfie same disregard in
which many of the citizens of Pennsylvania
hold the Se'nate. They marched by at a
right shoulder arms as a mark of disrespect,
the proper military form being carry arms.

Ten Prisoners Who Were Allowed to Walk
Out of a Jail.
St. Louis, Oct 30 Serial. On the
afternoon of October 2,ten prisoners quietly
walked out of the jail -in this city. Among
the number were two -condemned murder
ers, three burglars and a quartet of bank
thieves who had achieved a national reputa
tion in their special line of rascality. The
escape occurred about 5 o'clock, and up to
the present time but one ofthe gang has
been recaptured. To-day the grand jury re
turned indictments against the jail guards,
"Walsh and Fitzgerald, charging them with
aiding and helping the prisoners in their
flight' "From the evidence submitted, it
seems that 500 was distributed where it
would do the most good by Jack Shea, con
victed of the murder of Policeman Doran,
and who w as the brains of the escape. Of
this sum Guard Fitzgerald is said to havo
received $250.
Guard Walsh was also indicted for hav
ing been instrumental in driving out of the
city an important witnesTs for the State in
the Gleason murder case. The jailer was

military colleges in the United States
where officers of the army have been de
tailed as instructors, and where arms, am
munition and other equipments have been

addressed to the faculty of these institu

State flags will not be permitted on any oc
casion where a flag is required by United

Secretary Proctor holds that the accept

Chinese Merchants Who May Return.
WASHINGTOX.Oct 30. Acting Secretary
Spaulding has written a letter to the Coir
lector of Customs at San Francisco, in re
gard to the admission of certain Chinese
merchants, in which he says, in order that
there may be no misunderstanding on the
subject, that it was represented that these
were domiciled in the United States as
merchants, had gone to China or business
or other purposes, and were returning to
resume their residence and business here;
that they had left the country with the clear
understanding from the published: circulars
of the department that they would be per-J

DOWN WENT THE STAND.
A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DURING A PO
LITICAL PARADE.
One or the 200 Occupants Was a Pittsburg
Lady Senator Gorman and Candidates
for State Offices on the Stand All In
jured, None Seriously.
Baltimore, Oct. 30. During the Demo
cratic paradcto-night a part of the reveiw
ing stand at the corner of Eutawa and Madi
son streets collapsed. On the stand were
seated about 200 persons. As the head of
the parade approached everybody on it
pushed to the front to get a better view.
United States Senator Gorman, Frank
Crown, candidate for Governor, Represen
tative in Congress Barnes Compton, Robert
M. McLane, ex-Minister to France, and J.
P. Poe, candidate for Attorney General,
made up the reveiwing party and occupied
the center of the platform. Surrounding
them were a number of ladies, including
Mrs. Frank Brown and her neice, Mrs.
Clifton W. Phillips, of Pittsburg.
As the head of the Calumet Club, the
leading political organization ot the city, ap
proached the stand, and as the band struck
the first notes of "Hail to the Chief," the
crow d on the platform pressed forward to
join in the cheers for Senator Gorman. As
they W so a loud crash .was heard, the
plf a settled a few feet, when suddenly
t! .mole front gave way and the mass of
the people standing on it was precipitated
into the street. The reviewing party fell
in a heap, and Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Phil
lips went down with them.
The police who were keeping the crowd in
front of the stand out of the way of the
parade, at once went to work to extricate
those who had fallen under the timbers. It
was found all of them were more or less in
jured, though none seriously. Senator
Gorman was brniscd in the" legs. Mrs.
Phillips had her ankle either broken or
badly sprained. All the injured were helped
through the crowd to the neighboring
houses, where their hurts were attended to.
The accident broke up the review, but the
parade was continued over the entire route.'
LYNCHIHGS IN LOUISIANA.
Conducted Nowadays as Though They Were
Social Meetings.
New Orleans, Oct. 30. Special
News from Lincoln parish announces the
lynching near Choudrant station "Wednes
day of James Snowden, a negro. Snowden
set fire to the residence of 'Squire Emery at
midnight last Sunday. The family were
asleep at the time, and narrowly escaped
with their lives. Snowden, who was recog
nized, fled from the parish and went to
"West Monroe, where he lay in hiding three
days. His whereabouts were disooveredand
he was arrested and taken back to Lincoln.
The deputv sheriffs got off the train at
Chondrant after dark, and had gone only a
short distance when they were overpowered
by a body of armed men aud their prisoner
taken from them and lynched.
On Monday, at Poole Landing, on Red
river, CO miles below Shreveport, a negro
was lynched for attempted assault on a
white girl, a daughter of one of the leading
planters in the neighborhood. The negro
was canght in the act. A large number of
whites assembled at the residence 'of the
girl's father,1 a meeting' was held, presided
over by Hon. H. C. Stringfellow, former
member of the Legislatnre, and it was voted
to hang the negro, which was promptly
done. There were no masked men or mid
night breaking into jail, but the negro was
condemned to death as though it was a so
cial meeting. The trial was conducted in
the most open manner, and with formality,
and no one seemed to conceal his connec
tion with the affair.

A Texan Receives a Heavier Shock Than
Kemmler Did.
San Antonio, Oct 30. Special A
remarkable electric experience fell to Mr.
Cushing last night. He is the Assistant
Superintendent of the San Antonio Elec
tric Power Company. The system used is
the Weslinghouse alternating current
Last night Cnshing was testing the power
of the current with an ampere measure. It
was 1,450 volts. By some means he got into
connection and was knocked apparently
lifeless. The invisible fluid entered
through his right hand, ran up the arm to
his body, went down the right side and leg,
and burned a hole through the sole of his
shoe. His fingers, arm and toes of the feet
are burned. Otherwise he is all right to
day. The case" is considered remarkable from
the fact that the men who were executed in
New York were given not more than 1,000
volts, whereas Cushing took 1,450 with com
paratively slight effects. He has had three
doctors and all the electrical experts in the
city around his bed to-day, but is at work
to-night. He says that during the shock
he never lost consciousness, that it felt as
though he was being tossed in a blanket

feasance of ex-City Treasurer Bardsley and
the failures of the Keystone and Spring
Garden National Banks, met to-day, and all
the correspondence that has passed between
the department and the committee was

Mr. Spaulding states that four experts
designated by the Treasury Department
are not in the'Spring Garden Bank. From
their report all cannot be had which is de
sired. "A further application for your ex
pert accountants to enter the bank, if made,
will receive proper consideration, but until
that time arrives this department must de
cline to grant your request to have your ex

papers of the Spring Garden National
Bank." A meeting of the Finance Com

An Official Dispatch Sent to Senor
Montt Announces That
AN INVESTIGATION IS GOING ON.
An- Entirely New Light Thrown Upon the
Riots at Valparaiso.
CHILEANS FIGHTERS FROM-WAT BACK
Washington, Oct. 30. Senor Pedro
Montt, the official representative of the
Chilean Government in Washington, to-day
received the following dispatch from the
Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs:
Sahtiaoo, Chili, Oct. 30.
Investigation, instituted Immediately, con
tinues with all diligence, and is not yet fin
ished. The trouble began on Clave street,
and It became a tumult at 7 p. si. Regular
soldiers, police and the special guard of the
Intendente restored order. Of the combat
ants, 30 Americans and 11 Chileans were
committed before the Judicial authorities.
They fought with knives, stones and every
thing thoy could lay their hands upon.
There was one killed and several wounded.
It is estimated that there were 160 American
sailors from tho Baltimore) on shore at the
time of the tumult.
The Cabinet meeting this afternoon was
attended by all the members except Secre
tary Foster, who is campaigning in Ohio.
The session lasted about an hour and a half,
and was devoted in part to a discussion of
the Chilean situation. It is surmised that
Secretary Blaine submitted for considera
tion an outline of a reply to be made to
Minister Egan's communication; that its
details were perfected, and that in due time
the public will be made acquainted with
the text. There have been no further dis
patches from Minister Egan.
AH Kinds of Absurd Rumors Afloat.
During the afternoon all kinds of sen
sational, and in many cases manifestly ab
surd, stories were telegraphed to Washing
ton from other cities in this country and
Europe for confirmation or contradiction.
In the latter category was the startling an
nouncement cabled" to Europe by a sen-,
sition-mongering news agency that the
President's Cabinet had decided to declare
war on Chile; that all of our navy yards
had been ordered to prepare vessels to leave
immediately, and that orders had been
issued to the vessels therefor. When this
story was brought to the attention
of the officials of the Department
of State they were amused rather
than indignant at the inventive fecundity
shown by a news agency which has been for
some time disbarred from access to the
news given out by the Department itself.
One of the assistant secretaries, after char
acterizing the story as absurd, remarked
that "the author had overlooked the fact
that under the terms of section 8 of the
Constitution, the Congress of the United
States alone has power to declare war, and
that the President and his Cabinet had no
share of this power. So, too, the story that
Minister Egan had been recalled was
promptly declared to be an invention with
out foundation in fact.
Naval Officials Not Disturbed.
The Navy Department officials evidently
have no expectation of an immediate out
break of war. Secretary Tracy, with a few
friends and naval officers, left the Navy De-'
partment before the closa of office hours,
boarded the Blake and steamed down the
river to the proving gronnd at Indian Head.
The party will remain there over night and
all day to-morrow to witness the tests of
Carnegie, Phipps & Co.'s Bethlehem armor
plate. Assistant Secretary Foley will leave
Washington to-morrow morning for the
same place on the Vesuvius.
Commodore Ramsay, in charge of the
Navigation Bureau, without whose knowl
edge not a naval ship moves, said that so
tar as he knew there had not been a single
order issued bearing on the Chilean situa
tion during the past week. The naval offi
cers in charge of the various bureaus in the
different navy vards also stated that there
was no unusual preparations going on in
their respective departments. Altogether,
there was an air of serenity and every day
humdrum about the State and Navy De
partments, which, no less than the oral
denials, afforded an emphatic contradiction
of any all sensational reports of warlike dis
turbances. The Evenina Star has the following: "It
would be awholesome trial for the political
health of interior South American conti
nent," said a prominent naval officer, "if
this country should turn in and give. Chile
a good sound thrashing. They have the
most insane notions down there about an
international war, and they really think
they could defeat the United .States with
out tropblo. There are about 2,000,000 of
them in the whole countrv a few more
than in the single city of New York and
they have not the slightest idea of the mag
nitude of this nation and its tremendous re
sources. They have no idea of what is
meant when we tell them that we have 60,
000,000, and they are sincere in the belief
that they could successfully cope "with us
in a fight.
Tho Chlloans Great Fighters.
"They are fighters from the first word.
They will fight over anything, or at the drop
of the hat as the expression goes. They
have just been through severe civil war, and
their blood is up. The masses are probably
eager "for a brush with the United States,
and are no doubt urging their authorities on
to a defiant attitude. Their recent troubles
have but increased their thirst for blood and
the excitement of warfare, and I should not
be surprised to se belligerent demonstra
tions before long. And I should welcome
such a thing. Not for the sake of aotivity
in the navy, but for the good and whole
some effect it would have upon the world at
large. The United States has been 'far too
conservative in its attitude toward the rest
of the globe, and, even if Chile is small and
weak, the spectacle of whipping
her would produce for us an excellent
prestige abroad. Then, too, it would firmly
establish, once for all, our supremacy on
this hemisphere. The Chileans, in my
opinion, are the finest lot of people in South
America. They are splendid specimens of
manhood; their men are strong and vigor
ous and shrewd, and their women beautiful.
Thev are the result of a very fine mixture
of blood, the-old Spanish buccaneer and the
South American Indian, and they have the
sturdy qualities of both. They have good
notions of progress and their country is
wel advancea,yetthey are quite blind to our
own greatness,in comparison, and think
they are every inch as good as we are."
Time to Administer a Lesson.
Another officer, speaking on the same
subject, said: "The Chilean hates an Ameri
can that is, an inhabitant of the United
States worse than ppison. He distrusts
him, and takes everypportunity to get a
whack at him. He will fight one as soon as
he can get within distance, of picking a
quarrel. I do not know why this is, unless
because we have sent down so many poor
specimens of our race to trade, and thus
have depreciated our own stock through
our representatives. I should like to see
an affair with Chile; not only for profes
sional reasons, but also because I think that
the time has come for this country to ad
minister a lesson to some one."
Still another naval officer said: 'We
have before us a demonstration of the wis
dom of AVashington's maxim 'In time of
peace prepare for war. Some of those"who
are now urging vigorous and warlike
demonstrations are men whose care it should'
have been to prepare us lor such an emer
gency. The Navy Department ia been
trying to impress upon Congress the im
portance of providing coaling stations in
both the Atlantic and "Pacific, but nothing
has been done, and we are now without
means for coaling our vessels in those
waters."
Only One Outcome Possible.
"Should there be hostilities," said one of
the diplomats, "and I don't easily see how
they can be avoided, you need not look for
any great naval engagement in Chilearf
waters. Your enemy seeks loud-sounding
glory, and he would send one or two of his
best ships to your Pacific coast No one
would know whither they had gone until
they appeared in San Diego or San Fran
cisco harbor, and then there would be
trouble. You do not think men who are not
ignorant could be so foolish, but you do not
know these Chileans. Their bravado is
something wonderful insane, I grant you,
btit nevertheless wonderful. Such a con
flict could have but one result Chilean ar
rogance would be laid in the dust but these
hot heads would have caused infinite dam
age to some of our coast cities, 'for you have
no fortifications worthy the name."
Senator Edmunds- to-dav called on the
Secretary of the Navy. In responsa to an
inquiry he said that he had not followed the
Chilean affair and was not sufficiently con
versant with the case to express an opinion
s to the present situation. He said, how
ever, that he was sure this Government
would be firm and jnst, and would do the
right thing in the right way. He hoped
the Chileans would be reasonable enough
aud sensible enough to act properly.
A reporter saw'Senator Cullom after he
had had an interview with Secretary Tracy.
Speaking of the Chilean affair the Senator
said: "The situation looks very ugly. Those
little chaps down there are very 'sassy,' and
I think we shall be obliged to give them a
lesson. If they do not change their tactics
at once the only thing for us is to send our
war ships down there and give them the
mischief." .
THE SITUATION SERIOUS.
GROWTH OF THE ANTI-AMERICAN
FEELING IN CHILE.
Egan, Schley and the Valparaiso Consul In
Consultation American Residents of
Santiago Looking for Farther Trouble
Chile Taking Her Time.
Santiago de Chile, Oct. 30. it is
generally admitted here by the supporters
of the Government and by the Americans
and those in sympathy with them that tho
situation of affairs as regards the dispute
between the United States and Chile has
'.not improved. In fact, the anti-American
feeling is growing in bitterness, and all the
American officials in Chile are apprehensive
that further trouble is brewing. The exact
nature of this trouble they are unable to
define, but they sec little prospect that an
amicable settlement of the Valparaiso inci
dent will soon be reached.
United States Minister Egan, Captain W.
Schley, of the Baltimore, and William B.
Creery, United States Consul at Valparaiso,
were In close consultation throughout the
day, and, though- it is not possible to ob
tain any definite statement from them tor
publication, it can be .said that thev all
consider the reply of tlie Junta to Minis
ter Egan's note asking for proper explana
tion of the collision, decidedly insulting to
the United States Government It is also
known that they regard the situation at
present as being serious.
Some Serious Trouble Anticipated.
While the United States officials here are
indignant at the terms in which the reply
of the Junta is couched, their indignation
is as nothing to that felt .by the American
riiideuts in Chil -They do not conceal
the fact that they are looking for further
and more serious trouble possibly in the
nearuture between Chile and the United
States.
It is learned to-day that the United
States cruiser Baltimore is prepared to en
force, if such a course .is found necessary,
proper treatment for her officers and sailors
who may be compelled by the necessities
of the service to go ashore. It is not meant
by this that Captain Schley will in any way
irritate the Chileans by sending men or offi
cers ashore when it is-evident that they are
not welcome there. On the contrary, every
thing possible will be done by the Balti
more's command to avoid any trouble. But
for marketing, provisioning, interchange of
messages between the commander and the
United States Minister and other necessary
duties, men and officers have to go ashore
and the captain of the United States
cruiser does not intend to be prevented from
attending to such duties.
Captain Schley Will Protect His Men.
But as the virtual boycott placed upon
the Baltimore continues. Captain Sclilev. if
he finds it necessary, will send armed men
ashore, and will take other steps to insure
their protection.
It has just become known that there is an
other feature of the Valparaiso outrage
which demands explanation. The muni
cipal and government officers of Valparaiso
who made an investigation of the attack
upon the sailors of the Baltimore compelled
the United States men-of-war's men who
were confined in the prison to sign a state
ment, written in Spanish, exonerating the
police from all responsibility as to their ar
rest. As these papers had to be signed as
one of the stipulations for the release of the
blue jackets, the men naturally did as they
were requested. '
The reply of the Junta is construed to
mean practically that Chile is indignant at
the demands made by the United States
Government; that shewill take her own
time to consider the matter, aud that when
the Junta reaches a conclusion the govern
ment will settle the matter without refer
ence to the view of the United States on the
subject

KING HUMBERT TO VISIT ME QUEEN
COPTBIGHTED 1S91, BY KEW YOUK ASSOCIATED
I'HESS.J .
London, Oct. 30. The Council of the
Conservative National Union have in pro
cess of incubation an electoral programme
which promises to outbid that adopted at the
Newcastle Liberal Congress. A circular
recently issued by the council directing the
leaders of local caucuses, in view of an
early general election, to make a special
effort to oppose the Liberal propaganda,
elicited appeals from every" quarter of the
country for an authoritative platform. Con
servative agents will, therefore, be sent on
a tour of the districts at the expense of the
Council, on the application ot local associa
tions, and they will chiefly occupy them
selves with a destructive criticism of oppo
sition projects.
The Conservatives also feel the necessity
of offering a constructive policy, the issue
of which the executive of the Council has
too long delayed, mainly because the chiefs
of the party have not yet given such final
assent as will enable them to make an official
publication. Semi-officially theplatforrn can
be stated as follows

strikes; a free breakfast table, meaning the
lowest possible taxation on tea, coffee and
cocoa; a reduction of the duty on tobacco;
the vesting of the power of licensing in the
County Councils, with a provision for the
compensation of publicans deprived of other
licenses; and the introduction of a bili pro
viding for insurance against old age.
To these positive proposals must be added
negative principles naturally belonging to
conservatism, including opposition to church
disestablishment; the maintenance of de
nominational schools; the preservation of
peers' privileges, and the rejection of local
option in the matter of an eigttt hour work

party leaders will be firm. ,Ihe platform--!

prospect of reform equal to that afforded by
the Liberal programme, but is free from

Liberals Fishing for the Rnral Tote.
The Liberal organizers, convinced that
the result of the election will be largely de
pendent upon the rnral vote, will arrange a
series of laborers' meetings culminating in
a conference of agricultural delegates, at
which lilx. Gladstone will deliver a final
address before starting for Italy, The con
ference will be composed of three delegates
from each rural district in Great Britain,
and it is expected that the total number of
delegate will be 800. The conference will
assemble afthe National Liberal Club early
in December to hear Mr. Gladstone and
other leaders, and afterward pass resolutions
prepared for them by the Liberal "wire
pullers." The Conservatives will be
obliged to bid high against the Liberal in
cumbents. Naval Aspect of the Chilean Trouble.
Although no credit is given to sensational
cable dispatches from New York alleging
thijt the United States Government had de
clared war against Chile, the present situa
tion of affairs has led to a discussion in
naval circles on the chances of a conflict.
An English naval officer having special
knowledge of Chilean forces states that a
war might be decidedly unpleasant for the
United States at the outset, and that the
task of conquest would not be an easy one,
although eventually, th9 United States
would be certain of victory. Chile can op
pose to the United States squadron two
ironclads, one cruiser, two torpedo gun
boats, three improvised cruisers and some
other torpedo boats and cruisers. The
United States warships Baltimore and
San Francisco could not attack the
Chilean fleet with any chance of success,
and especially under "the defenses of Val
paraiso or Iquique. The Chilean vessels
Imperiale and Aconcagua carry each a four
inch breech-loader, with projectiles able to
penetrate the armor of the United. States
cruisers. If the Chileans remained on the
defensive only, the bombardment of Iqui
que and Valparaiso could be attempted by
tlie United States ironclads. A blockade
would be impossible, as the Chilean torpedo
boats would render the efforts of the Amer
ican vessels ineffectual. The general con
clusion is that the American navy would
find the work terribly harrassing.
Premier Salisbury's Foreign Policy.
The Cabinet will hold the first council of
the present recess November 7, preliminary
to the Lord Mayor's banquet, to be held
November 9, when Lord Salisbury will
make the usual annnal declaration of the
policy of the Foreign Office. According to
a forecast Lord Salisbury will state that no
new step has been taken by the French
Government in relation to Egypt; that the
reports of a proposed- collective interven
tion by the powers are untrue, and that no
European conference on the subject has
been proposed.
Anent Pamir, the will state that nothing
Xlua uuuurreu iu muHC tuc iiiuiuu uuiciii-
ment any disquietude. It is not Lord Salis
bury's place to refer to the aggressive en
ergy with which India is acting. The Gov
ernment, besides stationing a consul at ICash
gar, has sent thither a military agent under
the assent of China. The War Commission
is sitting at Lahore to prepare a plan for
the mobilization of the troops on the north
west frontier. An army railway corps has
been formed to work on the lines having
termini at Peshawuer and New Chamary.
These preparations indicate active ottensive
operations in event of war, and not defens
ive operations, as hitherto.
Russian Boodlers Not to Be Trusted.
The proposal to raise aKusian famine
fund is coldly received in city circles. Un
less the Queen and the Prince of Wales take
the initiative and the Czar assents to an
English committee to administer the fund
the movement will collapse. The well
known corruption of Russian officials ren
dess it improbable that even if 1,000.000
were subscribed any of the money would be
used to relieve the. famine-stricken people.
As a proof of the robust health ot the
Queen it may be stated that in spite of the
severe cold "weather at Balmoral she has
been driving out daily in an open carriage.
King Humbert will pay au official visit to
the Queen in March uext, on which occasion
there will be a review of the Italian aud
English squadrons at Spithead. King
Humbert will be accompanied by .the mem
bers of his household and a brilliant staff.

THE IRISH AT
CORK THREATEN TO
TSE FIREARMS NOW.
An Alleged Plot to Assassinate O'Brien En
rages His Followers to a Dangerous
Pitch Police Protection for Him and
Dillon In the City Courts.
Cork, Oct. 30. At a police court this
morning a number of McCarthyites wero
fined for stoning a Parnellite meeting. In
imposing the sentences the magistrate stated
that the behavior of the rival factions was
worse than anything fle had witnessed in
Belfast Inconsequence of the disturbance of
affairs in Cork thepolicejof Fermoy, 10 miles
from this city, and the constabulary from
all the outlying stations have been ordered
to proceed immediately to Cork. The whole
force of mounted police at present in this
citv.has been placed af the disposal of Mr.
Dillon, and will accompany him everywhere,
until the. end of the present political cam
paign. Great excitement was occasioned here this
morning by the McCarthyites by a rumor
that a plot had been discovered, in which a
number of the more rabid Parnellites were
implicated, to murder William O'Brien.
The police, hower, declare that there is no
foundation for the rumor, and that in all
events they will protect Mr. O'Brien from.
any attempt that'.may be made to injure
him.
At first it was genorally believed that the
story was a canard, but when it was stated
that Mr. O'Brien had hurriedly decamped
in consequence ot the discovery, the excite
ment became intense, and the streets were
filled with men threatening to arm them
selves with more deadly weapons than
blackthorns and stones. Strong guards of
police are stationed in the vicinity of the
ean shops and wherever else it is n'oisible to
obtain firearms. The officers are doing their,
utmost to keep the turbulent crowds in
motion, but it is a difficult taik. The re
port of the conspiracy ha3 terribly enraged
the McCartyites, who threaten to cast
aside even the slight restraint which they
have thus Far put upon themselves, and out
do the Parnellites in deeds of violence.
THE LATEST AFRICAN MASSACEE.
An Official French Physician and His Es
cort in Madagascar Killed.
Majuna, Madagascar, Oct 30. The
Frencholdiers forming the escort of Dr.
Beziat, chief of the medical staff of the
colony at Stuberville, have been massacred.
The party was ascending the Betsiboka
river, escorted by 11 native soldiers form
ing part of" the auxiliary French force in,
that district The Doctor and his escort'
were en route to Majunga, the town just
destroyed, when they were suddenly at
tacked by a band of Madagascar bandits,
who opened fire on then from the riven
banks, where they had ambushed them
selves so 8nc;essfally-that-the French party
was right under theinrmes before the pres
ence of the bandits became known. The-;
native soldiers forming Dr. Beziat's escort
behaved bravely and promptly returned the
fire opened upon them from the- jungle
lining the banks of the Betsiboka.
Ihe bandits had so distributed their-
forces that they had a cross fire, telling on
the physician's escort, against which the
latter could make but little impression.
iThe-doctor's boat, however, was kept going
down stream as fast as possible while the
escort answered the bandits' fire. Dr.
Beziat was one of the first to succumb to
the attack. He was shot through the body
as ho was empting his revolver at the(
natives bidden in the banks, and as he stag
gered, and was upon the point of falling, a
second shot hit him, causing him to fall
into the river, where he was subsequently
dispatched with assegais, thrown by the
bandits from their hidden places. Eight of
the native soldiers forming the escort were
also killed bv the bandits, who plundered
the baggage of the doctor and took posses
sion of everything portable. A detach
ment of troops has been sent in pursuit of
the bandits, but there is not much prospect
that they will be captured unless betrayed,
by other natives.

NO WARRANT OUT FOR KERR TET.
A Peremptory Message Sent to the Con

rSntCIAI.TrinSGBAJITOTlIEDISPXTCII.1
Beaveb, Oct 30. The libel suit insti
tuted by Senator Quay in Pittsburg ha$
created a tremendous sensation here aud is
the absorbing topic of conversation. Demo
crats, as a rule, are inclined to cavil and.
claim that It is for campaign purposes and
that after -November 5 it will be allowed tx
go the way of all political libel suits. Re
publicans, however, take a different view of
the matter and those who are close to Sena
tor Quay and have conversed with him say
that it will be a fight to the finish so far aj
he is concerned.
Among these this feeling has been con
firmed by the action of the Senator in bring
ing suit against the proprietors of tha
Daxly Star and Messrs. Mellon and Porter,
publishers. Warrants were issued this
evening in a criminal charge of libel and
also a capias in a civil action in which dam
ages are laid at 510,000. The warrants are.
against the publishers and the civil action

who is said to have an interest in the paper,
but whose name does not appear as one of

been very severe upon the Senator. The
warrants will be served to-night some tima
or early in the morning.
Does Not Seem to Be Scared.
The Star in its issue of this evening says
editorially: "We understand from rumors
whispered and hurried consultations be-
j ii.Jtt -t T r .1 r i.
attorneys ana irom newspaper sources that
the great Matthew Stanley Quay intends to
sue us for libel. We never expected such
great good fortune to overtake us so earlv
in our career, but if it is the Lord's will
and Quay's we certainly ought to be satis
fied. If the honorable Senator wants "a lit
tle diversion for himself and the public gen
erally in court we are willing to take our
part in the play." .
The Senator in conversation this after
noon said: "There is a matter which seems
rather mysterious. The draft was in tha
custody of the United States. It was pho
tographed and lithographed and sent to
about 120 papers. The question is, how did,
it get into the hands of the Democratic)
State Committee."
The Senator then produced a copy of a
telegram which he sent to-day, and which,
reads as follows:
LHon. E. S. Lacey. Comptroller, Washington.D. C:
I beg to he informed, at your earliest con
venience, by whom and by whose authority
or permission a certificate of deposit for
$3,877, dated November 20, 1S89, indorsed by
John ISardsley and by me, which Is among;
the papers of the Keystone National Bant,
an Institution in the custody of the United,
States, was delivered to the DemocTatia
State Committee to be photographed, litho
graphed and published throughout the State
by tho Democratic press as is now being
done. M. 8. Qsay.
Say They Are Not Political Suits. "
The-Senator denied that them was any
thing political in his action except iu sfii
as it was necessary to prevent Democrats
from making capital out of the publication
of the certificate. Prominent Republicans
here reiterate thi, and point to the reten
tion of J. M. Buchanan and Seward Thom
son, Esqrs., as the Senator's attorneys, botli
Democratio prominent leaders in this
county. A friend of Mr. Quay, in speaking
of the" matter this evening, said that tha
persistent attacks Upon Quay during thesa
many years, and particularly those reflect
ing upon his personal character had at
length borne fruit in the present actions,
which would be continued to the end.
The course taken was demanded also by
the effect upon Mrs. Quay and other ladies
of the family of the persistent attacks upon
the Senator s character. "Their life," he
said, "had been made at times a burden,
and the Senator had determined to put an
end to the matter once for all by prompt
and decisive action." Both the Senator
and Dick, when asked to-day whether tha
matter would be pushed, replied: "It will
be pushed to the bitter end." The Senator,
when reference was "made to the claim that
the suits would be dropped after the elec-.
tion, responded: "Let them wait and they
will'see.
THE HEARING HEBE TO-DAY.
The
Promised Civil Action Has Not Yet?
Been Instituted.
Senator Quay's attorneys in this city
have not yet filed the damage suit they
promised against the Post, but say it will
be held back until after the hearing in tha
criminal suit before Alderman McMastera
this afternoon. The attorneys held a con
sultation yesterday and arrived at that con
clusion. Attorney Marshall said they had
been authorized by Mr. Quay to take other
action in the case, but he would not say
what it was now. The suit against Stats
Chairman Kerr is to be entered at Beaver,
so it is said.
James M1II3 appeared and gave bail be
fore Alderman McMasters yesterday morn
ing on the criminal libel charge brought
against him. John D. Scully, of the First
National Bank, went on the bond for
52,000.
IACEY WIXL I00K IT UP.
He Has Heard From Senator Quay, and
Promises to Investigate.
Washington, Oct 30. Mr. Lacey, Con
troller of the Currency, admitted to-nighf
that be bad received a telegram from Sena
tor Quay, asking by whose authority a cer
tificate of deposit for "8,877 indorsed by
himself and John Berds'sy, which is among;
the papers of the Keystone National Bank,
was delivered to the Democratic State Com
mittee. He said, however, that it did not
reach him until after office hours, and there
fore it would be impossible to investigate
the matter before to-morrow morning.
He had no personal knowledge of tho
transaction referred toby Senator Quay, but
had decided not to reply to his telegram
until be could look further into the matter
in the morning. He certainly had not au
thorized the delivery of the certificate to
the Democratio committee or to anybody
else, but would, like to ascertain if any ono
connected with the service had done so be
fore he replied to Mr. Quay.
Chairman Kerr Is Ready.
Philadelphia, Oct 30. Special
Papers in the proposed libel suit to be insti
tuted by Senator Quay against Chairman
Kerr were not served to-day, although Mr.
Kerr was in anticipation of the action, and
was thoroughly prepared to meet it Ha
was at Pcnn sqnare headquarters through
out the day and more than usually busy,
the list of callers continuing just as largo
as it has been at any time during the cam
