The Ex-Governor Says That He and Sherman Are Friendlv, but THINKS THAT IT IS HIS TURN NOW. So Dictator From Without the Buckeye State to Be Tolerated. MAJOR M'KIXLET GIVEN FULL CEEDIT rfrEClAI, TELEGRAM TO TIIE WSPATC3I.1 Washington-, Kov. 13. Ex-Governor Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio and rebel flag and ballot-bos fame, has invaded the National Capital. It is stated that the fiery Buckeye leader came to formally de clare war on the Administration unless the pressure which is being brought to bear acainst him in the Senatorial contest is re moved. However, as he announced him self for another candidate than Harrison some months ago it is difficult to see what he could expect to ask for at the hands of the President's friends. Another and more plausible story is that he came here to seek Blaine's aid in the struggle against Sherman, on the ground that the forces which are opposed to him are also largelv unfavorable to the man from Maine. The ex-Governor to-night de clined to discuss either of these reports, but talked freelv about the Ohio situation. In response to questions he said: Gives Major SIcKinley Full Credit. "The victory was not only a great one, but it was satisfactory in every respect. The battle was fought upon national issues, the tariff and the silver question receiving most attention. The tariff was given epecial prominence from the beginning by reason of the candidacy of Major McKin ley. The Major made a most brilliant cam paign. He showed both great ability and great versatility. He spoke in almost every county in the State, and everywhere with great effectiveness. He had much help on the stump, but to him mostly than to any one else is due the credit of the result. He dodged nothing, but fearlessly met every issue and won. "So far as the tariff and the silver ques tions are concerned, Ohio has spoken not only for this year but also for next year. Senator Sherman discussed the silver ques tion more particularly probably than any other questions, but he dealt with all with his usual distinguished ability, and con tributed his full share to the result. "We have no factioi Jl difficulties in Ohio, and have no fear with respect to the campaign of next year. "What is tr condition of the Senatorial fight?" He Thinks Sherman Is Mistaken. "I hardly know how to answer that ques tion. I have been exceedingly busy since the election looking after my own affairs and really know nothing about the matter except only as I have been informed by the newspaper and letters. I can say, however, there is no fight in any proper sense of the word. There is no bitterness entering into the controvery and will not be any. The relations between Senator Sherman and my self are entirely pleasant, and whatever the result may be as to the Senatorship it will be accepted in good nature by alL" "Which one of you is in the lead?" "Senator Sherman says that he is, ac cording to some recent interviews. He phonld not make such a statement without information to justify it, but if he is, a good many people are misinformed. I am en tirely content to wait for the action of the caucus. In the meanwhile I am entirely ratisfied with the situation." "Is there not a strong pressure to return Senator Sherman?" No Outside Dictation Wanted. "Yes from some quarters, particularly from outside the State. We are not sur prised at this, for Senator Sherman has earned the confidence and respect of the whole country by the illustrious services h has rendered. At the same time the Re publicans of Ohio will deal with the matter upon their own responsibility and accord ing to their preferences and desires. They are as a rule simple-minded enough to think they know what they want, and to under stand their own business, and to be able to subserve their own interests." "FLOBIDA'S SENATORIAL CONTEST. The Secretary of State May Be Obliged to Go to Jail. TALLAHASSEE, Kov. la Special This alternoon the Supreme Court handed down its decision in the mandamus case against the Secretary of State. This will compel him to sign and seal Governor Fleming's commission of R. H. M. Davidson as United States Senator. The court decides that the peremptory writ must be issued, but it sus pends until next Monday any formal order. This is presumably to give Secre tary Crawford another chance to sign the commission before the court orders him to be sent to jail for contempt Those who knsw him best say that he will go to jail before he will affix his name or the seal of the State to what he considers a false de claration in the commission. The opinion is a very voluminous one, occupying 3 pages of type-written copy, but it nowhere touches upon the question of Call's election, declaring that the United States Senate is the only authority having jurisdiction in this matter The opinion goes no further than defining Crawford's duty and liability in this particular matter.

A POW-WOW IN MAINE. PROMINENT REPUBLICANS HOLD SECRET CONFERENCE. The Effect of Prohibition on the Voters of lows Causes a Halt to Consider Ad vantages With the Democrats and a License Law for Maine. Bangor, Kov. 13. Special. There was a great gathering of prominent Maine Re publicans at Augusta, this week, and the campaign ot 1892 in this State, and some of the lessons of the result in 1891 in other States were thoroughly discussed. The Governor was not on had, but nearly every other Republican of any account took part in the pow-wow. Senators Hale and Frye, Congressman Boutelle, Dingley and Milli ken, Hon. Charles Libby, President of the Senate; Hon. A. P. Wiswell, Speaker of the House, and many others were there, and all had something to say. Everybody seems convinced that the liquor question will remain a thprn in the side of the Republican party in Maine until it is settled once for all by the substi tution of license for impotent prohibition. and reflecting upon the victory of Governor Boies in Iowa, and the gradual but un doubted change of public sentiment in this State, the Republican managers have touched that point where they are seriously considering the advisability of unloading the burden of an unpopular and useless law. The only question is one of time. Astnte politicians think that the day is not far dis tant when, if the attitude of the Repub licans remains unchanged, the Democratic party will ride into power in this State on a license platform, and this is what worries far-seeing Republicans, who realize that, al though the crisis may be averted for a time, the day will come. The Republican State Committee has em powered its executive committee to arrange for the holding of the next State conven tion, and it is likely that the convention will be held in Bangor in June. INDIANS .IN OPEN REVOLT. REMNANT OF BIG FOOT'S BAND OCT AGAINST AN AGENT. Police Tall to Persuade Them Back to the Cheyenne Agency They Declare They Will Live at the Fine Bidge Agency Hereafter. St. Paul, Kov. 13. Special A rem nant of Big Foot's band of Indians, under Red Cloud, numbering 60 families, are in open revolt against the authority of the agent at Cheyenne Agency, South Dakota. The particulars, as learned from an Indian allot ting agent named McKean, are as follows: 'lhis band of Indians has been living on the southsidc of the Cheyenne river upon ceded lands. As no Indian can live off the reservation without taking land in severalty and declaring his intention of becoming a citizen, McKean went up to allot their Indian land. When he got there he found that they had, a few days before, sold off all their stock, which amounted to con siderable, packed up their effects and left only a trace of their former camp. He noti fied the scent, who dispatched a half dozen Indian police after the band to bring them back to the Cheyenne Agency. They were under the agent of that agency. They overtook the"band near the edge of PineVRidge Agency, and endeavored to persuade them to return. All but one In dian refused, and stated that they were go ing on to Pine Ridge Agency, to reside there in the future. The Indian policemen returned to the agent, and when McKean left he had dispatched a big force of Indian police to bring them back without fail. It is not believed that there will be any great trouble, as there is not a large enough band to make much resistance. These Indians are naturallv of a mean disposition, and do not like to live under the authority of the Government, STILL TBYIHG FOR THE STRIP. Cherokee Chief Mayes Submits to His Coun cil the Commission's Proposal. Tahleqttah, L TL, Kov. 13. The Chero kee Commission having written Chief Mayes looking to a reopening of the nego tiations for the sale of the strip, the latter has forwarded to the Kational Council the commission's letter with the following com munication: Gentlemen I herewith submit for your consideration a copy of tho communication from David n. Gcrome, Warren G. Sayre and A. F. Wilson, Cherokee Commissioners, who come authorized to negotiate for the purchase of the lands of tho Cherokee west of 95 west longitude.

MISSOURI RIVER GOLD. It Is There lnXarge Quantities But it Is Too Inaccessible to Mine. Kansas Crrr, Kov. 11 To-day Carl Wentrock, of the City Engineering Depart ment, received a certificate of assay of the ftold ore found recently in borings under the Missouri river near the Hannibal rail way bridge. The sample submitted to the assayUt, he certifies, contained 6 2-5 ounces of gold and 3 4-5 ounces of silver. He de clares that it would weigh out 5128 of gold to the ton, which is remarkably rich ore. This gold is in a peculiar place, and it is thought it would not be practicable to mine it, even though it should all be as rich as the sample submitted lo the assayist. It is found in the same sand under the river bed, and geologists think that it has been wa&hed in from tome gold-bearing regions. CAUGHT AT BOTH ENDS Complications Over the Capture of Embezzler N. E. Leech. TROUBLE OVER. A BEAUTY'S ROOMS. Private Detectives Are Arrested on a Charge of Conspiracy. PERKINS MEN STILL HOLD THE FOET Detectives Shore and Demmel last night arrested Kicholas E. Leech, alias K. E. Kichols, a former bookkeeper for Holmes & Rowlen, well-known East End stock brokers, and Detective E. B. Todd, connect ed with the Perkins Detective Agency, of this city, on a charge of conspiracy. The oflicers are also after Detective Mark Don nelly, connected with the same agency, on the same charge. There is a prior charge of embezzlement against Leech, who has just been returned from Canada by the detectives with whom he is jointly charged in the con spiracy suit. According to Assistant-Superintendent of Police O'Mara's statement, Holmes & Rowlen learned that Leech's accounts with them as bookkeeper and cashier were short about 512,000, but not until he had quietly left the city three weeks ago and could not be found. They employed the Perkins de tectives, and in a short time it was found that Leech was in Toronto, Canada. It was also learned that Leech had been very in timate with Mrs. Lillie Boice, otherwise known as Ada Reynolds or Carrie Will iams, who has apartments at Killbuck and. Carey streets, Allegheny. How They Trapped Leech. The detectives opened negotiations with the woman and learned that she was in cor respondence with Leech. She accepted their proposition to assist in his capture and accompanied them to Buffalo last week. The detectives remained in Buffalo and after a few davs spent in assuring Leech of the honesty of her intention the woman finally managed to decoy him over the border where he was captured. When Leech was brought to this city, Mr. O'Mara could not etate, but from his statement of the case it must have been a day or two ago. After their return, it Is claimed, Leech and the two detectives. Todd and Donnelly. went to Mrs. Boice's apartments and by threats of various kinds repeated contin ually for hours at a time managed to frighten her into signing an agreement, turning over to Leech the furniture and other contents of the four rooms occupied by her. She told the officers that she had purchased the goods with her own money a short time ago, paying $800 for the outfit. The agreement was not signed by the fright ened woman until yesterday morning, and she was promptly turned out of doors "with-' out even being permitted to gather up her clothing. Immediately afterward she consulted an attorney, who advised her to enter con spiracy charges against the three men before Magistrate McKenna. Warrants were issued and placed in the hands of Detec tives Shore and Demmel, who found Todd and Leech in Mrs. Boice's house, in Alle gheny, drinking beer and making them selves at home generally. Leech had not been placed in jail after being brought .from Buffalo, but he and Todd were at once taken to Central station by the detectives. r Perkins' Men Guarding the House. An attempt was made to see Detective Perkins last night, bat it was impossible, "as' that gentleman had retired at an early hour and refused to see anybody. It was learned through another source that something in teresting might be learned by visiting the house at Corey and Killbuck streets, Alle gheny, and a call was made. The house was found, but the exterior was not a criterion by which the interior could be judged. After some little parley ing with the person who answered tne ring the reporter was admitted. On the inside he was received by Detective Charles Todd, of Perkins' Agency. Mr. Todd told the fol lowing story: "It's kind of queer to see me here, isn't it? I am trying to keep the house to-night, although a while ago there wan quite a little fight for supremacy. Three men and a woman came around, and told me they had a war rant for my arrest. Asl did not know them or couldi not think what right they had to arrest me, I did not let them in." Prettv soon they went to the rear of the house and tried to gain an entrance by kicking a panel out ot tne kitcnen door, Dut tney did not succeed and went away. Why They Took the Furniture. "I suppose you know the story and how the house came to be connected with it. It was like this: To-night, Detective Perkins returned from Buffalo, K. Y., with K. E. Kichols, the man who embczzeled 11,000 from Holmes & Rowlen, the East End stock traders, several weeks ago. We know that Kickols furnished this house for Ada Reynolds, alias Carrie Williams, and that he was a frequent visitor to the house. Believing that a part ot the money he em bezzled from Holmes & Rowlen was used to furnish the house, I took charge yesterday afternoon, and intend to stay here until I receive my orders from Mr. Perkins." "Take a look through the house and see how well it is furnished," said Mr. Todd. A tour of the place Tevealed the fact that money had not been spared in adding comfort in the way of furnish ings. The house consisted of five rooms, a parlor, dining room and kitchen below and two bedrooms on the second floor. . The parlor abounded with easy chairs, couches, eta, while the light from the street was ex cluded by lace and heavy damask curtains. The upper rooms contained oak and cherry suites, with all the pretty embellishments which make home a comfort Detective Todd was of the opinion that it would cost over 1,000 to furnish the rooms. Mr. Todd was asked where Ada was, and replied: "She is staying in Pittsburg now. She accompanied Mr. Perkins to Buffalo and there helped him to identify Kichols; after he had been decoyed over from Can ada. She is being watched and we can lay our hands on her when the time comes to use her as a witness. CITIES CAN'T FIX OAS BATES. An Important Decision by the Federal Court Sitting at Cleveland. Cleveland, Kov. 13. An important decision affecting the authority of cities to control corporations enjoying street fran chises was rendered by Judge Jackson in the United States Circuit Court to-day. Some time since the City Council passed an ordinance reducing the price of gas from $1 to GO cents per 1,000. The gas company asked for relief in equity, claiming that the proposed reduction meant a virtual confisca tion of its property, which was contrary to the clause of the Federal Constitution pre venting the taking of property without due process of law. The city demurred on the ground that the Federal court had no jurisdiction. Judge Jackson to-day overruled the demurrer and granted an injunction against the city. He held that the city had no right to fix the price of an article of which it was a con sumer, and that the action of the Council would impair the validity of a contract made with the gas company in 1846. San Francisco Raises the Fund. San Francisco, Kov. 13. The local finance committee having in charge the collection of funds to secure the holding of the Kational Democratic and Republican Conventions here has received $50,000, which was the sum considered necessary as a basis for efforts to be made in the East to secure the location of the conventions here.

Special Ex ecutive Commissioner Whitman, of the Board of World's Fair Managers, will es tablish a Ladies' Auxiliary Society in every county of the State, to co-operate with the board in enlisting the interest and active effort of the ladies of Pennsylvania 'in the endeavor to secure as large an exhibit as practicable of the products of their sax at the Columbian Exposition. These societies will be under the immediate direction of the Committee on Woman's iWork, of which Mrs. Harriet A. Lucas, of Philadelphia, is chairman. The naming of the ladies has been left to the members of the board in the several counties which have immediate sub-representatives thereon. Where .there are no such representatives, gentlemen of high standing have been designated for this pur pose by the Executive Commissioner. Each society will consist of not less than five ladies, and as many more as may be thought advisable by the party recommending them. The county auxiliaries, acting under the instructions of the Committee on Woman's Work, will elect delegates to a district con vention for the purpose of naming one lady in each Congressional district to serve as a member of the State Auxiliary Society which it is proposed to organize. The mem bers of the State society will have general supervision of the work in their several dis tricts. A handsome commission is now be ing engraved and will shortly be issued to each lady. Fifty-five of the counties have formed their committees, and the others are expected to have theirs completed before next month. Messrs. Bigler, Hasson and McClelland, of the Board of World's Fair Managers, have fixed Tuesday morning.Koveniber 21, as the time for examining the plans for the pro posed Pennsylvania building at the World's Columbian Exposition.

The sub-committee will be aided in its selection by an expert. All persons who have submitted plans will be allowed to be present and ex plain them if it is so desired. SUICIDE OF A CONVICT'S WIFE. She Takes an Overdose of Laudanum to Quiet Her Nerves. Boston, Kov. 13. Special Ten years ago there was a sensational tragedy in Cam bridge, in which Homer Wellington, a lead ing young society man, tried to get rid of his wife and children, in order to carry on, without interference, a flirtation with a. beautiful society belle, which had already aroused much gossip. His little son diedr but the wife recovered from the dose of. arsenic which he concealed in a bowl of' gruel.

Ray, formerly Judge-Advocate of the Depart ment of the Platte, and at present in charge of a company of Indians at Fort Wasakie, who was placed under arrest about two weeks ago by Major Kellogg, commanding the gar rison at Fort Wasakie, and charged with insubordination and conduct unbecoming an officer of the army, has been released from arrest by command of General Brooke. It is understood thnt this will be the end of the charges preferred against Captain Ray, but Captain Ray has preferred charges against Major Kellogg, his superior officer, and these are now being examined by Gen eral Brooke.

A COLUMBUS FAMILY CREMATED. Their Fate Not Suspected Until Many Hours After a Tenement Fire. Columbus, Kov. 1& At an early hour this morning a row of cheap frame build ings on Korth High street was destroyed by fire. At 5 o'clock this evening the firemen found the remains of human beings and be gan a thorough investigation. Four bodies were taken out and removed to the Cor oner's office. An entire .family was burned, and this ex plains why the dead were not missed. The bodies so far found are those of a little bov of 2, a girl of 4, another girl of 6, and the father and mother. The head of the family is said to be Charles Bethers, a laborer, but this has not been confirmed. A New Mexican Tariff Decreed. Washington, Kov. 13. The Bureau of American Republics has received notice of a decree recently issued by the President of Mexico removing many of the arbitrary re strictions at the Custom House at the City of Mexico. The decree provides that for eign merchandise paying duty on entering the country at the frontier or maritime cus tom houses shall not be subject to further taxation beyond the 5 per cent consumption tax calculated on the amount of the imoort- ,ed duties on being introduced into the gen eral districts, foreign gooas on tne tree list of the tariff shall not pay anything on entering the Federal district Not Paying for Dead Italians. Washington, Kov. 13. It is learned at the Department of State that there has been no correspondence with the Italian Govern ment upon the subject of the killing of Ital ians in Kew Orleans since last spring, and, consequently, any statement that the United States Governmept has acknowl edged liability for the affair, and has agreed to pay indemnity, is not borne out by the facts. Customs Receipts Falling Off. Washington, Kov. 13. The receipts from customs at Kew York during the first ten days of Kovember were 53,043,803, or 1 M03,aa7 less than the receipts .during the corresponding period last year. ANARCHISTS AT LAW. They Apply for an Injunction Against tlie Chicago Officials. HEARING UP THOSE UNDER ARREST Mayor Washburne Says the Beds Plotting to Spoil the Fair. Were A YIGOBOUS POLICY OF SUPPRESSION Chicago, Kov. 13. This evening a bill was filed in the Circuit Court by Thomas Grief to restrain Mayor Washburne, Super intendent of Police McClaughry, Inspector Lewis and Captain Mahoney from entering upon the premises owned by complainant, or from interfering with any meetings or as- semblys held in the hall. The case will probably come up before Judge Tuley to morrow morning. Both Mayor Washburne and Chief Mc Claughry to-day in speaking of the arrest of. Anarchists advanced the belief that the object of the meeting and the organized plot of the Anarchists were not to commit any acts of violence nor to throw bombs, but to keep up an Anarchistic agitation to con vince foreigners that Chicago will not be a safe place to come to in the World's Fair year, either to exhibit good or to see them. A Stern Policy of Suppression, "The action ot Inspector Lewis in break ing up themeetinghas my entire approval," said the Mayor. "The incendiary utter ances of the Anarchists must be stopped, for they are likely to do Chicago incalcula ble injury an injury far greater than any damage they could do by overt violence. They might "blow up a building or two, but they could not get control of the city, and aside from any loss ot liie there migot De the loss would not be over, say, $100,000. But the effect of this agitation if allowed to con tinue, and I believe that is its object, would be to give Chicago a bad reputation, to keep millions of capital away and work irrepar able harm to the World's Fair by .frighten ing foreigners who believe Chicago, an un safe place to which to send their goods or to come to themselves." 'What will your policy be?" "To suppress with a firm hand all meet ings held to advocate Anarchistic princi ples." Major McClaughry expressed the same view of the purpose of the present agita tion. To Be Decided in the Courts. Moses Salomon, who applied to the Cir cuit Court for an injunction to restrain the police from interfering with meetings at Griefs Hall, called on the chief with his client Grief and with Assistant Corpora tion Counsel Chetlain to inform him of the agreement that had been entered into by himself and Mr. Chetlain that the police should interfere with no public meetings there until the courts should hear the application. Mr. Salomon objected to the word "peaceable" claiming there was no other kind of meet ing, so it was unnecessary, but Mr. Chet lain would not agree to the stipulation without it. As the stipulation did not restrict the right of the police to decide what is and what is not a peaceful meeting the chief agreed to it. The 17 alleged Anarchists arrested at last night's meeting in Griefs Hall, were ar raigned in Justice Woodman's court this morning. Jesse Cox, Esq., represented the defendants, and Assistant City Prosecutor Hiries represented the -prosecution. .Mr. Cox:moved to discharge the men, as there was no written complaint. "We will have complaints, never fear," was Bines' retort, and complaints were made out, some for re sisting an officer in the discharge of his duty, and the others for carrying concealed weapons and disorderly conduct. Cursed the Police Force. Officer C. J. Gould, who took part in the raid, was the first witness. "Myself and seven other officers," said he, "went to the saloon at 5i West Lake street It was crowded with men. They were excitedly discussing several meetings and cursing the police force. Then we went upstairs on the third and fourth flopr, where meetings were in progress, and broke them up." Officer Wessler was the next witness "and told about the same story. He heard one of the anarchists say: "The Mayor is a dude and we will hang him." Officer 'William Howe, the next witness, was in the front rank of the squad of police. This officer had an armful of red flags which he had torn from the platform of the hall. One of them had the words "American Group Ko. 1," inscribed on it in gilt letters. "That's a terrible thing to have on a flag," said Mr. Cox. "Why did you bring that flag along?" "Because it is the emblem of anarchy, and we wanted it lor evidence. Lawyer Cox began the examination of the 17 defendants and completed that of four of them. Each will be examined singly, and the case gives evidence of being a long one. The defense attempted to prove by its wit nesses that the meeting raided by the offi cers was a peaceahle one, and had no con nection with any anarchistic movement whatever, being merely a regular business meeting of the Socialistic Publishing- So ciety. HOW Bl-Chloride or Gold Affects the dipsomaniac will be described In THE DISPATCH to-morrow by one who has had the treatment SUING FOB A HALF MILLION, Which Andrew Gill Says He Ought to Have Ont of a Syndicate Deal. Kew York, Kov. 13. Special An ac tion of Andrew W. Gill, brought for an ac counting against William R. Green, was on trial before Justice Ingraham in the Su preme Court, special term, to-day. Gill says that he and Green formed a partnership in December, 1888, at Denver, bv which they were to secure options on hotels, breweries, and pines, and place them with English syndicates to be formed for the purpose. It is claimed that as a result of the agreement the syndicate called the "Detroit Breweries, Limited," and another called the "St Louis Brewery, Limited," were formed. Gill says that Green has not accounted for 5500,000 received on the sale of the An heuser-Busch breweries to the latter syndi-l cue. u.ne attendant denies the agreement, and as evidence of the partnership the plaintiff put in testimony. to-day a paper showing that as partners they had effected a sale of the Windsor Hotel, at Denver. The case is still on. SAEAH ALTHEA ON THE WAEPATH. She Is No Longer the Pretty, Well-Dressed Woman She Once Was. San Fhancisco, Kov. 13.

Special State In surance Commissioner McBnde recently notified the Alliance Mutual Benefit So ciety to discontinue the transaction of its life insurance, because it had failed to com ply with the law governing life insurance companies. The commissioner expected that the irregularity would be speedily remedied, but he was greatly surprised this afternoon at receiving a letter from G. H. Fleetham, Secretary of the company, stat ing that it was the intention of the company to discontinue business. In his letter Sec retary Fleetham said: "After the McGrath interview and the light vote in the State, we have come to the conclusion that it is of little use to try and build up a society among the Alliance, so we have quit and have notified our agents to that effect" The McGrath interview referred to bv Secretary Feetham was published a wees before the recent election. In it ex-President McGrath, of the State Farmers' Alli ance, was quoted as saying that the mem bership of the order had fallen offfrom 140, 000 in Kansas to less than 60,000 within a year. The President of the Mutual Benefit Society is W. F. Rightmire, Secretary of the Kational Citizens' Alliance. BALTIMORE AND OHIO VALUES. The Fiscal Year of the Road to Be Chan SCd to End June 30.

A Jewelry House Drummer Commits Sui cide Because of a Gaming Mania. Kew Yobk, Kov. 13. Special A young, good-looking man, who registered as J. Spier at the Sturtevant House yesterday, ' was found dead on the floor of his room on the fourth floor this afternoon with a bullet hole over his right ear The body lay in front of the bureau, as if the suicide had made use of the mirror to direct his aim. He and a partner were in the jewelry busi ness here under the firm name of Sampson & Spier. Spier was the drummer of the concern, and went about with a big valise full of jewelry, which was found beside his body. This suicide appears to have been due to the same cause as the suicide of George R. Lawrence, the young Pittsburg lawyer who shot himself in the Everett House Tuesday night When he was supposed to be trving to sell his jewelry he was playing cards at such gamine houses as do business in the day time, ii addition to "hitting it" more or less at night. He lost large sums of money, and contracted debts which his mother hrll to pay. His reputation for gambling threatened to interfere with his marriage, next January, to the daughter of a merchant, and his troubles so preyed on his mind that he sought refuge in death.

They Had Organized to Secure a Representative Assembly. STUDENTS ARE UNDER SUSPICION. Authorities Tate Vigorous Measures to Prevent Any Outbreak. THE DISCOVEET CAUSES A SENSATIOX London, Kov. 13. A widespread con spiracy to create a representative assembly has been discovered in Russia. Advices from St. Petersburg state that the authori ties there are becoming more and more sus picious as the internal situation of the em pire continues to grow more critical. As a result of this feeling the marshals of the no bility exercising power and residing in dif ferent parts of the country have been warned that they will be held responsible for any manifestation of political feeling against the government which may occur in the provinces under their control. A careful watch has been placed upon tho students at the universities, and at the higher schools, and precautions have been taken to prevent them from starting any disturbances. The tutors in the universi ties and higher schools have been ordered to avoid the society of the students and to have nothing whatever to do with them out side of teaching them. They are particu larly warned against visiting the students at their houses. The Seizure of Objectionabo Books.; Inspectors in the employ of the Govern ment make searches of the rooms occupied by the students and also of their libraries. Every book that treats of social questions or which in the slightest degree partakes of a political character is seized by the in spectors. Some surprise was expressed in this city nponthe receipt of the dispatch announcing the extraordinary activity which was being displayed by the Russian Government in connection with the internal disturbances which are known to exist in the Empire. It was thought at first that the Government's action was due to the troubles arising from the scarcity of food in many districts of Russia, as for some days past dispatches have been received in this city depicting with minnteness the terrible sufferings of the starving peasants. Many acts of lawlessness have been -ox ported as having been committed by men rendered desperate by the pangs of hunger, and the statement made that the marshals of the nobility would be held to a strict ac 'conntability for any political dfsturbances in theirdistriefs was tiken to ni;an that the peasants and small farmers were assuming a threatening attitude. A Radical Move This Time. The watchfulness exercised in connection. with the students will not be explained in this hypothethis, but as that class of tho Czar's "subjects are continually in trouble with the .police, it was thought that they had again come into collison with the au thorities through too freely expressing their thoughts regarding tlje policy of the government in connection with tha famine. A dispatch was received this evening, however, which puts all speculation to flight and gives a very sufficient reason for the suspicions of the Russian central gov ernment that there is something wrong in the Empire. This dispatch states that a short time ago it came to the knowledge of the people that a conspiracy was under way. The authorities through the system of es pionage which prevails through 'St, Russia, were able to iearn who the conspirators were, their places of meeting, and in fact everything connected with the plot A Widespread Conspiracy Alleged. While secretly pursuing their investiga tions in St Petersburg they found that the conspirators in that city were only a part of a very numerous band, the headquarters of which were located in Moscow. The learned also that the conspirators had been very ac tive in securing adherents to their plan and that the conspiracy had ramifications which spread to all the principal cities of the Em pire. The object of the conspiracy just un earthed, unlike a majority of the plots dis covered in Russia, was not to kill the Czar, but was the organization of a movement having for its end the creation of a repre sentative assembly an object which 'has been the dream of many Russians for years. Sixty members of the nobility and of the upper and middle classes who are charged with complicity in the conspiracy have been arrested. The discovery of the plot and the arrest of so many prominent subjects has caused a decided sensation in Russia.

"The noblest Roman of them all " is 78 years old to-day, and tha anniversary is shorn of much that would bo bright and cheerful to Allen G. Thurman, for the willow rocking chair that has stood so long by the side of the open fireplace in the old English sitting room that leads out of the hall on the first floor is empty, bear ing testimony to the fact that his venerable partner will be seen no more on earth. The Thurman Club had intended to give an elaborate banquet in honor of the day, but the death of Mrs. Thurman has caused a modification of the arrangements, and what ever celebration may take place will ba private. Allen W. Thurman to-day sent the fol lowing telegram tdthe Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette: "The telegram in regard to Judge Thurman'a health, sent last night by your correspondent from here, is untrue in every particular.
