AFTER BLAINE'S JUD,
Foraker Declares War Upon
Harrison Because of His
Policy in the
OHIO SEXATOKIAL FIGHT.
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,

Tahleqttah, L TL, Kov. 13. The Chero

say to you that it Is very important that you
provide for a commission on the part of the
Cherokee Nation to confer with that com
mission In reference to any proposition they
have to make with a view of purchasing
said lands, but in no instance should the
commission or part of tho Cherokee Nation
have unlimited authority to conclude nego

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.
WORK FOR THE FAIR.
LADIES' AUXILIARY SOCIETIES
TO BE EXTENDED.
THE
One Lady in Each Congressional District
to Act as a Member ot the State Commit
teePlans for the Pennsylvania iJulld
Ing to Be Exhibited.
Haeeisbuko, TXor. -13. 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. Five or six plans
will be selected from those on exhibition in
the State Library and submitted to the Ex
ecutive Committee, the. board to decide
which one shall be selected. 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. Wellington is now serving a 15-year
sentence in State's prison, but will soon be
at liberty. To. day his wife ended her life
with a dose of laudanum.
It was a terrible shock to her many
friends. Forweeks past she has been suf
feringiwith a nervous dread of-an approach
ing tragedy.. She was so thoroughly fright
ened that she had bolts placed upon the
door to her room, and always locked herself
in at night, but she could "not sleep. Last
night she retired as usual. Her daughter
was with her until early this morning, try
ing to quiet her mother s fears. At 7 o'clock
the daughter knocked at her door, but could
not arouse her mother. When the door was
broken open Mrs. Wellington was found
dead, with an empty laudanum bottle beside
her. She had taken the drug, her friends
claim, to quiet her nerves and induce sleep.
She leaves a big estate.
THE ACCUSED TURNS THE TABLES.
An Army Captain Acquitted by Court Mar
tial Aconses His Superior Officer. ,,
Omaha, Kov. 13. Captain P. H. 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. It is understood that these
charges cover the conduct of Major Kellogg
for two months, and that his record is being
thoroughly overhauled by .the Judge Advo
cate and the Commanding General.
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

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.

specified various, articles lost, including
several bits of silk and mostly under

Toledo, Kov. 13. The Knights of Labor
convention this morning discussed some im
portant resolutions,offered by A. W. Wright,
to settle the difficulties between the K. of
L. and the American Federation of Labor.
They were finally adopted by a vote of 95
ayes to 5 nays. If the resolutions are ac

in arrears for dues or assessments to such
assembly, shall be admitted to membership
in any union affiliated with the Federation
or any other organizations who are parties
to this agreement.

Besolved, That no local or other assembly
of Knights of Labor shall form an alliance
or affiliation with any body or organization
that shall refuse to enter into an agreement
as above with this order; and De it farther

eration of Labor, at its coming annual ses
sion, refuse to enter Into this agreement as
outlined above it shall be the duty of the
general officers of the Knights of Labor to
issue an address to the workingmen of
America, setting forth all the facts.
This afternoon the assembly was in secret
session, and it is said that tne secret work
has been totally changed to prevent ex
pelled members coming in.
In the case of J. J. Holland, of Florida,
an expelled member of the General -Executive
Board, the expulsion was sustained.
In the discussion on this point it was
charged that he and others boodled the
yellow fever fnnd sent by the General As
sembly to the Florida knights in 1888.
A proposition to admit lawyers to mem
bership in the order was rejected.
A SIGN OF DI8INTEGBATI0N.
An Alliance Insurance Society Forced to
Give Up the Ghost
Topeka, 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.

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.

A POWEBFUL CONSPIRACY.
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 Gold Cure for Drunkenness will ha
analyzed by a patient In THE DISPATCH

THUBMAN 78 YEAES OLD.
The Noblest Roman of Them All Thinks Ho
May Live Ten Tears Longer.
COLtrMBrs,Kov.l3. "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. Judce Thurman has not
been in better health for years. He said
last night if it continued so he will live
ten year3 longer."
