rPMClAL TFLEGltASt TO TOE DITATCH.
2Cew To:tK, Xov. 7. The Republicans
of Xctr York State have been trying since
"Wednesday to explain and figure how it all
occurred. The Democrats, on the other
hand, with a complacency that is 3 natural
concomitant to a victory, arc asserting that
ITew York is now an irredeemable Demo
cratic State. Republican statisticians have
wrestled with the returns from the country
districts and Xc? York and Kings counties
to derive consolation and to show, but for
this cause here and that cause there the
result would liave been different
But above trie smoke of last Tuesday's
hat'le looms the great political contest of
189i "Who has obtained the most valuable
advantage from Mr. Flower's election?
Have Mr. Cleveland's Presidcntal chances
been weakened or strengthened by it?
"Where does this victory leave David B.
Hill? And nhat course will Mr. Flower
pursue when Cleveland and Hill begin to
fight at close quarters? Is Flower himself
a candidate for Presidental honors?
They I'oth ltely on riower.
A week before the election Governor Hill
said to a Kings county friend: "If Flower
is elected I am all right. The delegation
to the next National Convention will not
be unfriendly to me." During the cam
paign men ho are generally regarded as
Mr. Cleveland's advisers derived satisfac
tion from the remark: "Flower's election
insur s Cleveland's rcnomination." "With
Hill and Cleveland both relying upon
Flower to aid them in their Prcsidental
aspirations, complications of a disturbing
character are almost certain to arise in the
party of Hill and Cleveland and Flower.
The latter not only holds the key of the
situation, but after January 1 next will con
trol, if he so desires, the entire patronage
in the gift of the State.
At the present time the Democratic ma
chine is in the possession of the small
clique that nominated and that now con
fidently expects to rule Mr. Flower. The
strongest man politically and intcllect
l ually in this close corporation is Edward
' Murphy, Jr., Chairman of the Democratic
Stat-J Committee. He carries in his hand
the enormous patronage of the canals of
the State and the State Engineer's Depart
ment aggregating in disbursements over
55,000.000 a year.
Murphy Conld "Same Hir "om!nee.
In his judgment Bichard Croker, the
leading power in Tammany Hall, places
implicit confidence. At his direction Eos
well I. Flower was nominated for Gover
nor. If the National Convention were to
be held next month it would be within his
province to dictate the names of one-half
the delegation from this State outside of
"Sew York and Kings. By his coalition
with Tammany Hall, through Bichard
Croker, 75 per cent of the delegates would
be rendered subservient to his orders.
Unless Mr. Flower takes the bit between
his teeth, these men, Murphy and Croker,
will select the candidate lrom the Empire
State for the Democratic National Conven
tion. Naturally their choice would be con
fined to that man, who, if elected, will prove
most tractable in their hands. From Mr.
Cleveland they know from past experience,
they can expect nothing that would imperil
his identity or hii independence. They
fear David B. Hill for his selfishness and
arrogance. Should Mr. Flower prove docile
and permit them to run the Executive de
partment in Albany, they might encourage
him in his Presiuent.il ambition.
Flov. er 3I3' Want Ills Ow n 3Inch!ne.
But after all Mr. Flower may disappoint
them, may strike out b3 himself and at
tempt to overthiow the arbitrary Hill
Murphv machine and establish one of his
own. The great majority Flower received
is a source of more danger to Cleveland and
Hill than a smaller one would have been.
As a matter of fact to-day Mr. Flower is
more of a'Prcsidental possibility than either
Cle-eland or Hill. He has none of the an
tagonisms that pester and follow those lead
ers. He was supported enthusiastically bv
the factions of which both are at the head.
He has it within his power to become a po
litical bos of the first magnitude, but he
must cultivate a liberal amount of self
reliance, courage and independence to doso.
He begins his three years' term without a
Democratic Senate to confirm his nomina
tions for many oftices now occupied by "hold
overs," who have hung on for years beyond
the expiration of their term because the Re
publican Senate foi the past eight years re-fu--d
to vote for their successors. "But bv
concessions and diplomacy he may establish
a power for himself. His electionhas stimu
lated the jealousy between the Cleveland
and Hill factions to the threatened distrac
tion of the party, and many of his friends
have already advised him that a Flower
machine is inevitable.
The IJ'O Has lSuzzed for Yeari.
Flower is :ui ambitious man. The same
ambition that inspired him to become a
ProMdental candidate in 18S4 and again i n
18SS is by no means dead. In those years
he had "nothing to support him but his
check boot The machine in other hands
was against him. To-day politicians who
have been close to him for years predict
that the moment the vat machinery of the
State is placed in his grp he will forget
his ante election promises, follow innumer
able precedents and fly his own Presidcntal
flair.
"With development in Democraticpolitics,
and three factionscouductingau internecine
war, the National Convention would be
called upon to exercise judicious care in the
selection of the New York man for the
ticket, for in the light of last Tuesday's
majority it is regarded as a settled fact that
the Empiie State will be given one of the
two places.
AVhitney Is a Possibility.
No matter what the upshot may be, the
irreconcilable dilierences between Cleveland
end Hill, the knowledge tiiat Hill knifed
Cleveland in 1888 and the suspicion that
Clcvrl.iml would skewer Hill were the latter
to be nominated next year, render the
nomination ot a third or a compromise can
didate from this State all the more prob
able. Will it be Mr. Flower or. as strontrlv
hinted in many quarters, William C Whit

Naxy, vliot.e relations with his former
chi-i hai e latterly been very much strained

IVIIlgrew Still Booming Blaine.
St. Paul, Nov. 7. Special Senator
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, was in the citv
to-day, and in an interview renewed his
allegiance to the Blaine boom. He says
the results last Tuesday leave no doubt that
Blaine is the logical candidate. Blaine, he
adds, is the only Kepublican who can win
in 1892.

rrjtoM a ctapt correspojtdent.i
Kew York, Nov. 7. A most important
feature of the campaign and the most far
reaching clement in the verdict of Tuesday
last is the relation of the Federal adminis
tration to the contest. The fact that Boss
Piatt has been the subservient cat's-paw to
pull Harrisonian chestnuts out of the fire is
quite too familiar to require more than the
mere statement. President Harrison may
have freely selected his instrument and may
have been compelled to accept him by force
of circumstances. In either case he found
a tool ready to his hand. Mr. Piatt's dom
ination in this State had already been
demonstrated. To strengthen the iron rule
of the Republican boss all that was re
quired in addition to the already absolute
authority in the party was to make him the
sole purveyor of Federal patronage and to
give official countenance to whatever use
Mr. riatt might see fit to make of it.
This President Harrison did. In so doing
the other Republican leaders were thrown
"outside of the breastworks." Mr. Plntt
is not a man with whom to talk of a division
of authority. There was no such contin
gency discussed or suggested. He was
therefore constituted hieh-cock-alorem,
given the keys of the New York Custom
House and whatever else he deemed requi
site to carrv out his deal with the adminis
tration, lit return for all this, he was to
hand over the support of New York in
furtherance of the Harrisonian scheme for
Prcsidental renomination. It will be seen,
therefore, that the double-jointed backbone
ot the situation was the control of the State
by Mr. riatt on the one hand and the sup
port of that State to President Harrison on
the other.
The Blaine Boom Forced It.
It was a desperate alliance, but the sit
uation of the Harrisonian boom was des
perate and required the hazard. The shadow
of James G. Blaine rising from that last
sickness to which the President's support
ers had with crocodile tears consigned him
was again falling athwart his political
vision. It was doubtless the Blaine night
mare that rode the Presidental pillow and
made the uneasy brain conceive of the Piatt
alliance.
The scheme was great if it had worked.
Now, why didn't it work? Because the
triends ot J arches (j. lilatne in this Mate are
numbered by scores of thousands. The hue
and cry against Tammany Hall raised by the
Piatt contingent up through the Stae conld
not blind the shrewd believers in iilaine.
Their loyalty to their party was too strong to
permit many of them to voteforMr. Flower
or make any active demonstration acainst
the figurehead set up by Messrs. Harrison
and Piatt: but thev could stay at home, de
clining to register and neglecting to vote. J
Ana -this tney tiia or tens ot tnousanas.
The talk of the World's Fair having any
thing to do with this negative and open op
position in the State at large is ridiculous.
Mr. Fatsett himself and other disgusted
Kepublican leaders talk of the "knife."
They correctly attribute their defeat to the
inactivity and covert hostility of their own
people. But they do not care to further
analyze these causes. To do so would be to
expose the fact that a very considerablj
body of Kepublicans in this State are in
imical to the administration at Washington.
Republicans Want a New Deal.
There is very little sympathy heard in
any quarter for Mr. Piatt. Kepublican
journals that supported him and his ticket
already demand his immediate abdication.
"The administration must unload Piatt," is
the cry; but whether the Administration
will unload Piatt or Piatt will unload thj
administration first remains to be seen. It
will probably be decided when the discov
ery shall have been made which of the two
is on top.
One thing is already apparent. When
the scattered and demoralized Kepublican
forces of this State are brought together
again and are mobilized for the campaign
of 1892 thev will not be under the leader
ship of T. L Piatt orTdx. Piatt's proxy. It
is equally apparent that they will not be
led by any man or set of men representing
Benjamin Harrison. If this aspect should
radically change between now and the
NationalKepublicaa Convention there is no
more hope of the capture of New York
than carrying the State of Georgia. The
responsibility lies jrholly with the Presi
dent. Mr. Piatt ofTered him New York in
return for the Federal patronage. Now Mr.
Piatt finds that circumstances over which
he has no control prevent him from carry
ing out his share of the bargain. Therefore
he is in dnty bound to pay back that which
he took, and if he doesn't feel the full
force of this duty, Mr. Harrison is clearly
justified in taking it from him with what
ever force necessary.
"Will Notify llnrrlson of It
There will soon be powerful forces organ
ized here to present this idea to President
Harrison. A little time will be necessary
for some of these fellows to get their breath
sufficiently to swear; but when they do get
at it somebody is likely to get out of the
way or get hurt. Look out for Blaine and
McKinlev!
With I'lattism should disappear the out
rageous appointment in this State which
disfranchises some 1.300.000 inhabitants.
mostly Democrats. In my ante-election I
prognostications, it will be remembered by
the reader, while I placed the gubernatorial
majority at from 20,000 to 50,000 for Mr.
Flower, I called attention to the fact that a
still larger majority might be necessary to
give the Democrat's the control of the Leg
islature. The Flower majority is nearly
50,000 and the Kepublicans still control the
law-making power. Imagine such a condi
tion iu your own State if you can! This is
1'lattfcm. Against the vo'ce of 50,000
voters I'lattism is to govern the making of
the laws at Albany. Do you wonder at the
disgust felt by all decent men for such a
man and for such methods? This one sta
tistical fact tells the story of New York.

SETTLED EY A C0MPE0KISE.
How Two Candidates Concluded It Was
Best to Fix TVlngs.
Scraxto?.-, Nov. 7. Special. Court has
been engaged Rinee Thursday in ascertain
ing the official majorities received by State
and local candidates. A most unusual case
arose. W. S. Hopkins, Kepublican, and
Henry Koehler, Democrat,were candidates
for the office of Register of Wills. Before
the official count began Mr. Koehler had a
Elight plurality. The discovery of an error
put Hopkins in the lead. Another error
gave Mr Koehler the advantage. And so
it went, in the see-saw style.
When the count ended," the vote stood a
tie. To break this the Court ordered the
ballot boxes brought into court for a slight
pretext, and the county was scoured"by
court messengers. When the last box was
opened this niornine. a change of one vote
nas found for Mr. Koehler. Then the.e
was a move to bring in more boxes, but
both of the candidates were now scared and
proposed a compromise. This was effected
by an agreement to hire a deputy to run the
office at SS00 a year, and to divide the pro
ceeds. Mr. Koehler is to bear the title of
register.

DOM PEDEO HOPES TO BETUBTJ.
Rumor or a Deal In Rio Janeiro 'Which
"Would Make It Possible.
Paris, Nov. 7. The Figaro to-day pub
lishes an interview with Dom Pedro, late
Emperor of Brazil, in regard to the recent
events at Rio Janeiro. During the course
of this conversation Dom Pedro said: "I
know nothing about what has occurred
in Brazil during the past year. I am
as completely ignorant of the events
of yesterday as of those of
to-dav. It has been my desire
to neither directly nor indirectly cause civil
war. " Continuing, Dom Pedro" said that he
never wished to be anything but a pastor
populi, aud that if it was true that Com
modore Da Gama was becoming dictator,
the disappearance of the Dn Fonseca gov
ernment might imply the restoration of the
empire. "Da Gama" he added, "was once
my most devoted friend, and if the people
appeal to their old Emperor I should im
mediately undertake to return and devote
my remaining strength to the happiness of
the people."
News was received to-day from Kio de
Janeiro that President Fonseca had held a
long conference with Viscount Ouro Preto
and Joaquin Nabuco. They are both prom
inent Imperialists, and this has given rise
to the hope among supporters of the old
regime that Dom Pedro would be requested
to return to Brazil and take the throne. In
case of his declining the offer the story
goes that the throne will be offered to the
Comte d'Eau, the husband of Dom Pedro's
daughter. These stories are merely rumors,
however. The President publicly promises
a constitutional government.
A NEW ABDUCTION SENSATION.
The Danghrers of Two Wealthy Detroiters
Are Mysteriously Missing.
Detroit, Nov. 7. An evening paper
publishes a sensational story that two
pretty 15-year-old Detroit girls have mys
teriously disappeared. One of them is
Julia, a daughter of Ii. Schiappacasse, a
fruit commission man, who is said to be the
wealthiest Italian in .the- country The
other girl is Emma Bogart, the child of a
railway engineer, and the niece of Simms
Reeves, the world-famous English tenor
singer. The girl herself is said to have a
phenomenally wonderful voice.
For some time past Emma has been a
bosom friend of Julia Schiappacasse. Tues
day night Julia stole from her home, and
since then her whereabouts have been a
mystery. Minnie Bogart was called upon
bv Julia, and accompanied her downtown.
She, too, has turned up missing, and her
nearly distracted mother accuses Julia of
enticing her daughter away. Mrs. Bogart
advanced the theory that her daughter and
Miss Schiappacasse had been abducted and
the latter held for a big ransom.

Guthrie, O. T., Nov. 7. At noon to

will be granted leave of absence.until your
successor is appointed."
A large crowd was at the depot to see the
Governor oft Nothing is known here who
the Governor's successor will be. It is
thought by some the President will appoint
an outside man. Mr. Struble, of Iowa, is
frequently referred to as the coming man.
A l'anlo Caused by a Wild Steer.
A steer that became unmanageable in
Allegheny yesterday, about noon, created
cpnsiderable excitement. The animal had
been driven from the country by a farmer
named Michael Offstein. On Spring Garden
avenue, near Wilbur alley, the steer broke
from the rope by which he was held, and
took to the pavement. The pedestrians
hurriedly sought places of safety, and, with
the exception of one, a boy named Owens,
were successful. The boy was knocked
down, but did not appear to have suffered
any except a slight bruise on the forehead.
The animal then dashed against the shoe
store door of George Walstcrn, and broke
the door. At this juncture the owner of the
steer lassoed him, and further mischief was
prevented.

UNIQUE METHODS OF Tllfi HEATHEN
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIHrATCJI.1
Washington; Nov. 7. Mr. Wnna
maker's new postal museum will be organ
ized as quickly as space can be cleared for
it in the building of the Postoffice Depart
ment. In response to his requests, sent ont
some months ago, many foreign govern
ments nave already lorwaraeu to wasmng
ton exhibits illustrating the methods
they adopt for carrying the mails. In
cluded in these consignments are costumes
of letter carriers, which in Europe are very
gorgeous nnd military; specimen letter
boxes, miniature mail vehicles, superb
photographs of foreign postoflices, statuettes
representing people engaged in transport
ing mail after various fashions, and ever so
many other interesting things.
There is a set of exquisitely executed
figures in papier mache from India which
now adorns the mantelpiece of the Post
master General. One of them shows a
postal runner in British India, carrying a
bag of letters and clad only in a breech
clout, with a long spear in his hand from
which little bells dangle. The weapon is
for his defense against the wild animals
that infest the jungles through which
he is obliged to pass, while the
bells are intended to frighten the
cobras, kraits and other venomous ser
pents. Crossing Trivers In India.
Another statuette presents the same run
ner in the act of paddling across a stream in
his customary manner, on a raft made
simply of four big corked fars of earthen
ware fastened together. Other mail-carriers
are seen riding on camels, which easily
travel 80 miles a day. or in lis;ht carts
drawn by Indian buffaloes over rough roads
where horses could not go. Austria has
sent a particularly gorgeous exhibit, com
prising everything imaginable, even to
postmark stamps, ink pads, and the written
music of the bugle calls by which the
postmen in that counter announce their
arrival.
England has promised costumes, and a
full set of uniforms has already arrived
from Canada. Letter carriers in tne British
possessions are all howling official swells,
with winter caps and collars of real astra
chan fur, leather leggings, scarlet chamois
skin under-waistcoats for cold weather, and
gold buttons. With each suit comes a
bristle brush for keeping the buttons bright.
Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Switzer
land, Kussia, Turkev and Persia have sent
contributions for the museum, nnd the
South American republics are disposed to
secure representation in this permnnent
show of Mr. Wanamaker. There is a
very fine postoffice museum of this sort now
in Berlin, on which a great deal of money
has been spent.
Letters in a Split Stick.
In Mr. Wanamaker's museum will also
be illustrated various primitive methods of
carrying the mails, as practiced in different
parts of the world now and in ancient times.
For example, there will be shown a model
of the negro postal runner of South Africa,
who bears the letter entrusted to his care in
a split stick, which he plants upright in the
ground when he pauses to rest. He con
sumes little food, but much tobacco, and
his endurance is wonderful. He wears no
clothes, but covers his naked body with oil,
rolling in the dust thereupon, so that the
flies will find him too unpleasant to bite.
tie carries tne letter in the manner de
scribed so that it will not get greasy, and,-
wniie swimming witn one nana across a
stream, he holds the missive out of the water
with the other.
Another type of postman shown will be
the messenger of Scriptural times, who con
veyed roval messages by word of mouth. It
is incredible how swiftly information or or
ders could be transmitted in this way.every
man being obliged, by law to immediately
forsake his occupation and run and tell the
next person along the. line of communica
tion. The Bedouins practice this method
of conveying intelligence at the present day.
Methods of the Orient.
Japan has now as good a postal system as
that of the United States, but CO years ago
a letter addressed to anybody in that coun
try usually bore only the name with no ad
dress whatever. The missive reached the
intended recipient from hand to hand.
Other models in the new museum will
represent the wonderful postal couriers who
carry royal messages in China. They are
the most rapid riders in the world, and have
been known to make the entire distance of
3,000 miles from L'hasa, the capital of
Thibei, to Pckin in 25 days. They have a
right to seize, by imperial" requisition, any
horses on their routes, no matter to whom
the animals belong. One hundred miles a
day is about their average. They eat and
sleep but little, dismounting once in a while
to smoke a little opium. Before leaving
his point of departure each such courier has
his dispatches placed in the lining of his
robe, which is sealed upon his person so
that he cannot open the garment during his
journey. The work of these Chinese cour
iers reminds one somewhat of the famous
pony express that used to make the distance
of 2J000 miles in tet days from St. Joseph to
San Francisco, over the roughest sort of
country. Daring riders, each traversing
his allotted distance between two stations,
simply transferred the mail bags from
saddle to saddle, so that the entire journey
was one continuous gallop.

toes, 64.4 marks. 1891 Wheat, 230 marks;
rye, 230 marks; potatoes, 69.9 marks.
The prices during the current year are
higher than any since 1876. The price for
rye in July last was 121 marks. The price
of wheat has fallen since August about 9
marks, but the September quotations are
still higher than any during the past 15
years. The price of potatoes fell from 89.30
marks in July to 6a20 in August, but in
September rose to 69.70 marks.
THAT AEM0E PLATE TZST.
Results of the First .Day's Firing Exam
ined by the Naval Board.
Washington-, Nov. 7. Special. The
armor plates -tested at the Indian Head
proving ground, last Saturday, have been
taken from the backing, and the board in
charge of the test went down yesterday, to
inspect the backs of the plates and the
wood backing on which they were mounted.
They found the back of the low-carbon
nickel steel plate about as was to be ex
pected from the appearance on its face.
The two projectiles fired at the upper part
of the plate remained sticking in the
wood backing. Bad holes were left
in the backing by the 6hots
fired at the center and" lower left-hand
cornerof the plate. There was also an in
dentation in tne backing, under the point of
impact of the shot at the lower right hand
corner. The back of the high-carbon nickel
steel plate from the Bethlehem Iron Works
presented even a better appearance than its
face seemed to warrant. There was less
cracking and less bulging of the back than
was expected, and the wood backing was
not broken, except slightly under the cen
ter shot. The backing was so perfect, in
fact, that it will be used to mount another
plate on at the next day's trial. The back
ing of neither of the other plates can be
used over again.
The Harveyized all-steel plate did not
show up so well as its face would have indi
cated. The shots at the center and lower
left-hand corner, which had completely per
forated the plate, were imbedded in the
backing, and though none of the other pro
jectiles fired at the plate broke through its
back at all, there was under each shot such
a bulge of the metal as to indent and splin-
terthe backing. This accounted for the
relatively soft character of the body of the
plates. During the coming week three
more plates will be mounted, and the next
day's firing will be on Friday.
WISE MEN IU CONFERENCE.
Qnlet Meeting of the Senate Finance Com
mittee at the Capitol.
Washington, Nov. 7. Special The
meeting of the wise men in the desert, so
graphically described in the opening chap
ter of "Ben-Httr," was scarcely more soli
tary than to-day's coming together of Sena
tors Aldrich, Hiscock and Harris, In the
finance committee-room of the deserted
Capitol. The quick, incisive tread of Aid
rich, the sliding, shuffling steps of Hiscock,
and the almost tottering footfalls of Harris
echoed through the bare corridors.
They met to put into shape
for " the nse of the Senate
all the available material that can now be
prepared under the Aldrich resolution of
March 3, calling on the Finance Committee
from time to time to report the effect of the
tariff laws upon the imports and exports,
the growth, development, production and
prices of agricultural and manufactured
articles, at home and abroad, and upon
wages, domestic and foreign.
The committee set for itself the task of
discovering the wholesale and retail prices
of 240 articles of general and domestic use
for the past 50 years in-75 different places,
also the rates of wages for the past half
century. The Finance Committee is assisted
by Carrol D. Wright, Commissioner of
Labor; by J. D. Weeks, of Pittsburg, editor
of the American Mamtfadurer, and by Dr.
Faulkner, Professor of Political Economy
in the University of Pennsylvania.
HO ONE FOUND TO BLAKE
For the .cddent That Wrecked the Gov
ernment Steamer Despatch.
Washington, Nov. 7. Secretary Tracy
disposed of the case of the wrecked steamer
Despatch this afternoon by approving the
conclusion of the Court of Inquiry that it is
not a case calling for any further
action. The Court , found from the
evidence submitted that the orders
of Lieutenant Cowles, the commanding offi
cer of the vessel, were safe and proper, and
that the accident would not have occurred
but for the mistake of Lieutenant Noel in
taking the Assategue light for the winter
quarter shoal light.
The court found that the Assategue light
shone red instead of white, and that as the
vessel passed within four miles of the winter
quarter shoal with proper lookouts, without
seeing it, that light either must have been
entirely out or else was burning dimly. The
court was of opinion that this condition
was the principal cause of the disaster, and
that no one attached to the vessel could be
held accountable for it.
FOREIGN GOODS 'AT THE FAB.
Preparations by the Treasury Department
to Assist All Exhibitor).
Washington, Nov. 7. The Secretary of
the Treasury has announced the following
new regulations to govern the free importo
tion ot articles for exhibition nt the World's
Columbian Exposition at Chicago. It is the
purpose of the department to secure expedi
tion and security to all articles imported
for exhibition at the Chicago Exposition
without the exaction of customs duties, fees
or charges to arrange the proceedings in en
try, so as to afford the utmost convenience
and dispatch.
In order to obtain the benefits of this ar
rangement, every package destined for the
Exposition should have affixed to it, by the
foreign shipper, one or more labels repre
senting the flag of the country to which it
belongs. This label should be about 8x12
inches in size, and should bear across the
face, in plain black letters, the inscription:
"Exposition at Chicago."
What tho Navy Has Cost for a Tear.
Washington, Nov. 7. Fourth Auditor

cost of negotiation was 520,554.
A Ifcw Clew to Mhs Cartwrlght's Death.
Chicago, Nov. 7 The police claimed
to-night that they had a new clew to the
caute of the death of the actress, Fannie
Cartwright, last Tuesday. A young man
named Harry Burns said that he had heard
indirectly of the confession of a young man
who was with the prisoner Beattv the night
the girl died, and that they, Beat'ty and the
latter's companion, put the body on the
railroad tracks. The police refused to dis

SPLITTING UP A STATE.
A Falling Out Between Two Promi
nent National Politicians
MAKING WISCONSIN DOUBTFUL.
Eepublicans Fearing and Democrats Hoping
lliat the Breach
WILL NETTER BE COMPLETELY HEALED
rSPECIAI, TZLEG RAM TO TnB DtSrATCll.J
Milwaukee, Nov. 7. The political
flurry in Wisconsin over the clash between
Senator Sawyer and ex-Congressman La
Follette has been watched with deep in
terest by men of both parties this week,
notwithstanding the excitement of the
election. The standing of the two men and
the circumstances surrounding their quarrel
lead Republicans to fear and Democrats to
hope that the outcome of it all will be that
Wisconsin will become an irretrievably
Democratic State.
The cause of the difference between the
Senator and the young ex-Congressman is
well understood in Washington, where all
last winter the so-called Treasury suits in
Wjsconsin were discussed almost daily by
Northwestern politicians. For nearly 20
years Senator Sawyer has been a bondsman
for Kepublican State Treasurers in his
State. All of these Treasurers, without ex
ception, have been nominated at his dicta
tation, and most of them have been his
townsmen. Ex-Congressman Guenther, who
is now Consul General to Mexico, held the
office of State Treasurer two terms, having
Senator Phileiut Sawyer, of Witcomin.
been picked up by Mr. Sawyer out of an
Oshkosh drugstore, and elected almost be
fore he knew it E. C. McFetridge and H.
D. Harshaw, who each held the office sev
eral terms, were also proteges of the wily
old Senator.
State Funds- In Politicians' Banks.
All of these men have been in the habit
of depositing the State funds in various Re
publican banks throughout the State, from
which interest has been received, usually at
the rate of 3 per cent, notwithstanding a
law on the statute books requiring these
funds to be kept in the vaults of the State
Treasury in the Capitol at Madision.
At one time Uncle Jerry Busk, who was
then Governor, of the Badger State, pro
tested against this violation of the law, and
threatened to bring Uncle Philetus' man to
taw. Thereupon Sawyer went down to
Madison and appeared suddenly in front of
Uncle Jerry's desk.
"Jerry, do you mean to say that we've
got to put that money in your old chicken
coop vaults here in the Capitol?" he de
manded. "That's what the law says," replied Uncle
Jerry.
"I don't care a what the law says.
You might just as wel put that money out
on the steps of the Capitol here as to keep
it in the vaults. What the do you sup
pose your one-legged and one-armed watch
man here would do if a good able-bodied
burglar should come along some night and
pull out the bricks in your vault and load
up his wagon with the State funds and get
away?"
"Why, Sawyer," said Uncle Jerry, "those
vaults are all right, and. beside, I've got 15
good men here, every one of them old
soldiers who have smelt powder and know
how to fight."
Sawyer Slakes Uncle Jerry Snccninb.
"Oh, hang your 15 men. I could come in
here any night and clean them all out alone.
I tell yon, if you don't leave that money
alone where it is, I'll take my name off that
bond inside of 24 hours."
And that was the end of" it. Uncle Jerry
snecumoeu to uncle .rniletus' blutt, and
the money stayed in the banks. These
banks were selected practically by Mr.
Ex-Congrcsiman R. J. Ixi Follette.
Sawyer,and as there are a good many of them
they represented an important part of Sen
ator Sawyer's political machine in Wiscon
sin. Amon" them, notwithstanding his
plea in behalf of the vaults in the Capitol,
vas the bank in "Vernon couniy, of which
Uncle Jerry Busk has always been Prcsf
dent. With the election of the Democratic ad
ministration in Wisconsin last year there
began at once the agitation of the question
whether the various Republican ex-Treasurers
could be made to return to the State
the interest they had received on State
moneys placed in private banks. This at
once put Senator Sawyer in a decidedly un
pleasant position. One at least of these ex
Treasurers had gone through bankruptcy,
and the interest ne had received during his
four terms of service would have to be paid
by Senator Sawyer, if it could be collected
of anvbody. This interest is roughly esti
mated to 6e about 5120,000 for that Treas
urer alone.
A Heavy Burden of Defense.
As some of the bondsmen are dead, and
others are hot so easily accessible through
the courts as Senator Sawyer, there natnr
ally rested upon him a "heavy burden of
defense.
The Democratic Attorney General began
fest suits, and Senator Sawyer retained C.
W. Felker and S. U. Pinuey, two of the
best known Democratic lawyers in Wiscon
sin. The facts, after a good deal of legal
skirmishing, stand admitted, and the trial
of the test case is to decide simply legal
questions.
The defense rely upon the fact that the
law of the State "made the Treasurer not
only the custodian of State moneys, but also
the" insurer against any possible loss. The
Supreme Court of Colorado has decided in a
similar case that this responsibility justifies
a State Treasurer in depositing State funds
in a number of banks, so as to divide and
thereby reduce the possibility of loss, and
also to require interest at a low rate, so that
in case of any loss he shall be able to in
demnify the State. It is practicully the
same question which has arisen in Pennsyl
vania. DIED,

BOOK AGENTSJN TROUBLE.
Mrs. Minnie Woods Poors Oat a Pltlfal
Tle to Snperlntendent Weir How Mr.
Tattle Sell Bootes That Idy Slakes a
Statement Hcrse I.
A neat appearing and Intelligent young
woman, giving her name as Mrs. Minnie
Wods, of Louisville, Ky., appealed to the
police for lodging at Central station on Fri
day night, saying she had been ejected from
her boarding house, was without money or
friends and did not know what to do. She
was given money by one of the officers to
secure lodging in a hotel, with the under
standing that she should call on Superin
tendent Weir yesterday morning.
She kept her promise and visited the
Superintendent at noon. She said her home
was at Louisville, she was 17 years old, had
been married two years, and came here with
Mrs. A. C. Tuttle", a general book agent,
under a contract from October 19 to Decem
ber 24, to sell books on commission. There
were five other girls in Mrs. Tuttle's em
ploy, brought here from distant cities and
they were instructed to sell books only to
men in large buiness houses and offices,
sometimes to people of low morals
and surroundings. Mrs. Woods has
grown tired of this life nnd
desired to return to her husband, but Mrs.
Tuttle refused to release her from the con
tract and would give her no money to take
her home. A row with Mrs. Tnttle ensued,
which resulted in the girl being put out on
the street at nisht with her trunk. She
said the other girls were also anxious to get
away from Mrs. Tuttle, and were so sit
uated that thev could not. 'Speaking further
of her experience, she said Mrs Tuttle
compelled her girls to lie to possible cus
tomers as to the circumstances inducing
them to bookselling for a livintr.
Superintendent Weir's sympathies were
aroused by the voung woman's story nnd he
Sromiscd that if he could, legally, he would
rive Mrs. Tuttle from the city. He pro
cured transportation for Mrs. woods and
she started for Louisville last night
Mrs. Tuttle was seen at her boarding
house, No. COG Pcnn avenue, last night.
She positively denied Mrs. Woods story.
"I am supporting an invalid husband," she
said, "and have three girls working for me
under contract. Mrs. Woods was the fourth.
One of them lives in Pittsburg and you can
see the others." The reporter was intro
duced to two young women, one of
whom is a cripple who moves on
crutches nnd the other a buxom, but plain
looking, girl of about 20. Both seemed
very affectionate with Mrs. Tuttle, denied
the stories told by Mrs. Woods and de
clared they were happy, prosperous and
contented in their work. Mrs. Tuttle said
she brought .Mrs. Woods from Louisville
where her young husband was out of em
ployment and she was glad to come. Since
then she had grown homesick and desired
.o return to Louisville, and on Mrs. Tuttle
refusing to release her caused a scene, left
the house and went to the police headquar
ters as stated above.
Superintendent Weir was very indignant
last night nt the conduct ot Mrs." Tuttle, the
girl's employer. He questioned whether
her methods of doing business could not be
considered a violation of the law.
He said Mrs. Tuttle's method was to in
sert an alluring advertisement in a paper in
any city some hundreds of miles from this
one, and which advertisement was largely
one of misrepresentation. She received an
answer and at once forwarded money to pay
their fare here and on their arrival paid
their board. In this way the girls got into
her debt, and she was not anxious to have
them get out of it. Once the girl got here,
without money and without friends, she
had a hard row to hoe, and many tempta
tions were thrown in her wav.
A BANK PBE8IDENT WANTED.
He Rains Bis Associates In Basinets by
Bis Shndy Transactions.
'Kansas Cut, Nov. 7. The directors of
the Maine Banking Company are hourly ex
pecting a telegram from Maine announcing
there the arrest of A. E. Blanchnrd, Presi
dent of the company, on a charge of obtain
ing money by false pretenses. It is
claimed that Blanchard, by a series
of shady transactions, including forgery,
has defrauded the creditors out
of thousands of dollars. Blanchard in 1890
went into the banking business with a capi
tal of f 50,000. He was made President of
the bank, and while in the East secured
the services of J. R. Clark as Cashier. Mr.
Clark is a jroung man and the son of
Horatio Clark, a director and a wealthy
capitalist of Maine. From Mr. Clark he
secured ?2,100 on a forged deed to prop
erty which he did not own, but which ne
pretended to sell to Mr. Clark.
Dr. B. A. Harding, of Blackstone, 111.,
Blanchard's father-in-law and a man of con
siderable wealth, is also one of Blanchard's
victims. Blanchard would pretend to make
loans on cilt-edged security, would receive
the money from Dr. Harding with which to
make the" loan, and then, it is charged,
would appropriate it to his own use. Dr.
Harding says he has been ruined, but de
clines to say how much he has lost. An
other loser is said to be Bates College, the
amount being $10,000. The officers in
Maine have been telegraphed to arrest
Blanchard.
PKESIDENT BAEEILLAS' DAHGEB-
A Party of Revolutionists Across the Mexi

Cmr of Mexico, Nov. 7. From dis
patches received here it is learned that
General Julio Garcia Granadas, Colonel
Manuel Rnbio and Vincente Martinez arc at
the head of a number of dissatisfied Guate
malans on the Guatemalian-Mexican fron
tier who are preparing for a revolution
against President Barrillas, of Guatemala.
Colonel Rubio is President Barrilla's
deadliest foe. It is claimed that the Revo
lutionists have a force of 1,000 men ready,
and that they have received many promises
of assistance. They say that unless Mexico
interferes the revolution will break' out in a
few days, and that they count on aid from
sympathizers in' the interior of the country.
They bought arms recently both here and in
the United States.
Now It's a Seli-Tonr-TTheat Circular.
Kansas City, Nov. 7. A circular letter
purporting to come from the Grand Secre
tary of the Farmers' Alliance has been sent
to the farmers of Kansas, advising them to
sell their wheat and corn at present prices.
The letter is signed J. D. Sedgwick, 'Grand
Secretary," aud is marked "Wheat Circular
No. 3." J. D. Sedzwick is not Grand Sec
retary of the Kansas Alliance, and the
Alliance people at Topeka claim to know
nothing of the letter. It appears to be
issued to effect the grain market.
Twenty-One Mules Killed In a Wreck.
MASSH.LON, Nov. 7. SpeciaT. The
section ot an east bound freight on the Fort
Wayne Railroad stopped at the curve in this
city this evening, where it was run into by
the third section. One of the most disas
trous wrecks ever witnesedi n this vicinity
ensued. Next to the caboose of the second
section was a carload of 21 mules. Only four
were taken out alive. The engine, caboose and
eight freight cars were thrown down the
embankment.
A Bad Wreck In the Braddock Mills.
BkaddoK, Nov. 7. At 9 o'clock to
night an engine on the Pemickey Railroad
and a short train on the Narrow Guage
railroad running through the mills, met
with a crash at the crossing. Engineer
Charles Johnston, of Cbartiers, was caught
between the engine and tender and suffered
untold agony there for half an hour before
being extricated by friendly hands. He
was terribly crushed and burned, and it is
not thought he can survive. The engine
was wrecked and cars were strewn all along
the track.

HAD BEEN' HELPING LUMBERMEN.
A Branch nod Been Shut Up and This
Caused Embarrassment.
THE ASSETS ARE REPORTED LARGB
mrECIAI. TELEQBAM TO THE DtSPATCH.l
Coeht, Nov. 7. The greatest calamity
that has yet befallen Corry was tha
closing this forenoon of the doors of the
Corry National Bank and its branch on
North Center street. Both banks were
closed by order of Bank Examiner Miller.
When the report spread the streets became
crowded, it being impossible for many to
believe that the old and trusted First Na
tional Bank had been declared insolvent.
The bank was organized in 1851, and its
history since then has been beyond reproach
Few, if any, had the least inkling of its con
dition, consequently the news of the failure
came like a thnnderbolt.
Bank Examiner Miller positively refuses
to make any statement at present, and as
President Allen and Cashier C. G. Harmon,
are both prostrated by the shock it is im
possible to get full particulars. It has been
generally known, however, that the bank
has been interested in, and assisted to a
large extent several manufacturing interests
here and elsewhere; also that the line of
discounts they have been carrying is very
large. These discounts were against peopla
considered perfectly good, but owing to
the stringency of money matters here tho
bank failed to realize on the paper just
when it was most required.
The Story of the Branch.
Over two years ago, when the Center
street branch was started, the Bank Exam
iner informed the officials this venture
might be permitted, but it was not author
ized. A few months ago the Comptroller
at Washington notified the bankers that
they must close the branch, as the Depart
ment of the Treasury had decided that all
branch banks must b? discontinued. It was
given the officials at Washington to under
stand that if the branch must be closed a
f run on the regular bank would certainly
follow, as the branch did a heavy business.
and besides, if a run came on the original
bank it would not be able to meet it. This
matter has been under consideration for
some time, but finally the decision cama
from Washington that the branch must
close, and it was closed.
'The deposits are very large, ranging over
5600,000, most of which came from promin
ent business firms here, none of them having
taken the trouble to withdraw their deposits
when the change was made. The assets aro
not known, but are estimated to be very
large and enough to pay the deposits in full.
The heaviest depositors are the Eqnitable
Aid Union, a mutual liife insurance con
cern having 518,000 on deposits, and the city
of Corry with S.l.OOO to $8,000 on deposit.
Other deposits are in smaller lots, farmers
and business men from all over this district
having make the bank their depository.
President T. G. Allen to-night refused
utterly to either accord an interview or
make any statement. He is prominent here,
both in a business and social way, and it is
believed by his friends that the closing of
the bank doors was due entirely to the shut
ting down of the branch and the consequent
distrust in the original institution. Tha
bank's correspondents were the National
park Bank of New York, and the Third Na
tional Bank of Philadelphia.
Kn State Sloneyn There.
A rumor that the withdrawal of Stata
moneys had crippled the institution was
found" to-night upon investigation to bo
without foundation. Bank Examiner Miller
is quoted as saying the denosits are almost
?;j43,000. The bank officials say thej were
5750,000. The liabilities contain an item of
loans and discount of $48,112 due from
other banks.
President T. A. Allen has himself been
one of the leading spirits in the Forest Lum
ber Company, one of the most aggressi70
and daring in Western Pennsylvania, and
the trade has been very dull of late. Tha
bank has paper out among many lumber
men. Cashier Clarence Harmon will not
talk and keeps out of sight. It is well
known that he has been investing in grapo
and other real estates; that he is one of tha
principal owners of the Ajax Iron Works,
which has just made a 550,000 addition to
its facilities.
The bank, afterthe failure of the old First
National Bank of Corry, as the result of
oil speculations, had a clear field, and at
the time its doors closed win doing three
fourths of the business in Corry. Eleven
of the largest tanneries in Western Penn
sylvania were depositors. There are over
1,000 depositors, and they will hold a meet
ing next Monday.
