He Denies Any Shortage in His Ac counts, but Says That QOEER FIKAKCIEHIXG WAS DONE. Letters From Powderly Trodnced by Him . to Prore That THE OEDIE'S FUNDS "WERE BORROWED fsrECIAL- TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.l Philadelphia, Nov. 14. Frederick Turner, ex-Secretary and Treasurer of the Knicl.ts of Labor, who is accused of being 531,000 short in his accounts with the order, ma-le an explanation to-day that was as sensational as were the charges. These charges made up ithe princpal leat ure of the Knights of Labor conven tion at Toledo, the committee op pointed at the Ian session, at the request of General Secretary Hayes, to investigate the ex-Treasurer's books, reporting that Turner had refused to appear before them or to give up the bank deposit books, can celed checks and other documents in his pocion. In the absence of these docu ments they claimed that they made the best investigation possible, with the result that, even crediting Turner with 517,000, which liis statements show to have heen ex pended, there was a balance of over 514,000 unaccounted for. Mr. Turner was found at his grocery, at Sixth and Master Etrects. Ke indignantly denied that he was in any way deficient in his accounts with the order, and he declared the work of the committee to be ptrt of General Master "Workman Powderly's scheme to deprive him of some dangerous nrujiuus a;uusL me x.iiigiu!. Ex-Treasurer Turner's Itombardment. "When I left the order at the end of the Indianapolis convention in 1S88," he said, "Thomas Smexan, the expert employed by the Knights, made a statement before Notary Public J. B. Massey that my ac counts had been carefully gone over and found to be all right. That statement is annexed to the report of the order for that year. I left all the accounts in the treasurer's office that could be needed, in cluding the vouchers for all expenditures of the order during my incumbency. "What I ha ve kept have been for my own protection. They consist principally of canceled checks. Some of them are very compromising to Mr. Powderly. "When I said I left all the Touchers in my office I forgot one, which I have in my "possession. It is a voncher for a piece of furniture bought by Secretary Hayes for $55, which he cent to his home in New Brunswick, and then charged to the order. But that's a little thing compared with the others. I want to begin at the begin ning in what I am going to telL Sensational Charges Made Dy Turner. '1 am going to disclose what is not known to even members of the order, and what will show their general master workman to be a man, who, while preaching against corrup tion and dishonesty, was himself using funds of the order and resorting to every conceivable trickery to maintain his .hold on the management and prevent 3n exposure of his methods. "When I was called to the office of General Secretary and Treasurer of the JCnightsof Labor in 1883, I owned a gro cery store on Sixth street, nearTasker. It was worth 53,300. Now it is mortgaged for 52,500. The place I am in at the present time is not mine, and I am anything but a rich man. My connection with Powderly's gang has nearly ruined me. "While I was Treasurer my accounts were audited every month by a general auditor, regularly elected for that purpose. The ac counts thus audited were publishes every three months and sent to all the General Assemblies. "When the auditor was abol ished, at the Bichniond Convention, an expert was employed to do this work. Henry Taylor, my clerk, was very methodi cal. He scrutinized everything and item ized everything. Nothing that came into the Treasurer's office pertaining to the order escaped him. Enmity Between the General Ofil.-ers. "This gained him the enmity of Powderly and his closest friends in the order, who were always afraid that some of their schemes would be exposed. Powderly al ways suspected that Taylor read some of his tell-tale personal letters to me. In the In dianapolis convention, when the Powderlv people attacked me and elected Hayes in my place as Treasurer, Powderly made a speech in which he said he would rather spend a year in Hades than nave another year of one of the men in office. That is the way they all felt about Taylor. "They used to tell some queer things. The order had to pay all the general officers' bills. They would include in the bills their own and families' laundry, ginger ale and cigars for "their; friends" and other curious incidentals. "What they wanted was to have these bills reported in a general way, but Taylor itemized them just as they came in, and when I made mr report I for warded the same detailed statement of totals. "Whenever any of these fellows bought anything it was charged to the order. "Wha Powderly and his committee are o anxious to get into their possession are two canceled checks which I have, showing that on June 23, 1886, 51,000 were drawn from the order's fnnds at the Corn Ex change National Bank byT. V. Pojrdcrly, and that on-August 26 following 51,500 were drawn by him. A Loan rrom the Organization's Fanns. "Powderly was then drawing an annual salary as General Master "Workman of 5l,SW He wanted to buy a house. He did not have the money, hut the order did, and he wanted to use the order's money without anybody knowing anything about it. The Executive Board at that time con sisted of Powderly, John "W. Hayes, "Wil liam 1L Baily and Thomas Barry. All were firm Powderly men except Barry, who was lukewarm, and whom they were airaid of. "So Barry was sent away on some mission or other, and Powderlv and the other two held a meeting and loaned 52,500 of the order's money to Powderly. They agreed, of course, that the money should'eventually be returned, and in order that that might be accomplished without making Powderly go into his own pocket they decided that as soon as the convention met in the fall his salary should be increased to 55,000 a year. In that way he could pay back into the Knights of Labor treasury the money he had taken out from the increased money the Knights of Labor were paying him. You see, the Knights were to be robbed for that house, anyway. I had to carry that 52,500 along as cash, the sum being in his hands instead of the bank, where the order supposed it was. He told me it was all right so long as he had it and intended to pay it back. The plan was worked. Powderly got his money, and at the Bichmond convention, in October, 1886, his salary was raised from 51,500 to 55,000." Proofs In Letters From Powderly. As proof of this story Mr. Turner pro duced from a bundle of ietters received by him from Mr. Powderly one conspicously marked "personal." Like all the General Master Workman's personal letters to his Treasurer, it was signed "Terry," that being Mr. Powderly's adaptation of his name Terence to his intimates. The letter is as follows: Scraxton, Fa., Aug. 25, 1SS6. I will bo required to make another pay ment on the house in a day or two, and I will want the wherewithal. Send me $1,500. I will take the whole of it this time, for it will be'onlyafew days' until the other payment will be due. I am making out a mortgage to be placed in your hands, co that if anything happens to m the order will be protected. As it is, I have that part covered in my will, which 1 made some two weeks ago. I, at that time, included the entire amount, know ing that yon w ould see it made right should anything happen to the undcrsurned. Barry" has said so much concerning what has transpired on the board that I do not want him to know anything about this unless ho calls for it, and if he does, let mo know, so that I can at once get tho money and pay it bact to you. Terry. Getting Iteady to Be Independent. "Terry" received his salary monthly, that sum being supplemented, of course, by the "bills of expense" which he always sent in. After four months of the in creased salary voted to him by the Bich mond convention, Treasurer Turner re ceived the following: Scraxton, Feb. 2, 1887. I collect some money due to me to-morrow and when I see you again will begin to repay tho debt. A beginning once made 1 can soon clear it off. When that is done I will be once more irdepennent as a Turk in pet ticoats. Let no one see this, for I am under the impression that some one goes over all the letters that they can find on your desk or on Charlie's. Terry: The "Charlie" referred to by the General Master Workman was Charlie Bichmond, Treasurer Turner's secretary. As already said by Turner, his methodical clerk, Henry Taylor, "was in the habit of scrutinizing all correspondence in the Treasurer's office. 'Terry's" suspicions were outlined in his next confidential letter to Turner: Scraxton, Pa.. February i. 1SS7. Inclosed you w ill find a check for $550, my first payment on the loan. I am glad to feel that I can make a beginning on it. What I meant by cautioning yon abont the desk is I suspect that someone in either your office or uiiarne s watcnes every opportunity to see what is going on. I do not know who to lay the blame on, but several things have, leaked out that ought to have been kept quiet. I will teJl you of m7 suspicions when I see you! Terry. Preparationsjto Show Up Accounts. It appears that "Terry" was becoming a little anxious about the General Assembly referred to, for a few days later he sent the following: Scrantox, Pa.. September G, 1837. 1 inclose a receipt for $478 01, also a check for $1,030 on the loan. Thatleaves $350yet to pay. I oxpect to have it all settled up by the time mv official neck Is twisted by Mc Neill, "Bueky," etc ai. Will you do me the favor to let me have a statement of the amount of money paid to McNeill for his services at Washington, and a copy of his report of work dono and bill of expend! turest Send this as soon as you can. Has Jimmy finished oODying the report of tho Home Club investigation? Terrt. Turner says that Powderly expressed himself very Vigorously when they did meet on the importance of allowing nobody to get even a chance to see his personal letters. The next letter of this personal character in Turner's collection is well on toward the next fall convention, and-presents a peculiar complexion to the uninitiated. Scraxton, Pa., Sept 1, 1S87. My Dear Fred: Enclosed please find bill for August. Send me check for balance due $4S0 01 and I will return you a check for $1,000. I will have the last payment made before the G. A meets. Ever yours, Terrt. Interest Was All to Be Paid. McNeill and Buckingham were two mem bers of the order who had shown a disposi tion to investigate Mr. Powderly's ac counts. In order to preserve appearances in case an investigation should be demanded by the forthcoming General Assembly Tur ner received me loiiowmg instructions trom Powderly: Personal and private. October 27, 1887. If the treasury will not stand the whole amount of my bill you may send me $209 04, deducting the last $300 due on the loan. If you do this send me a receipt for $2,5D0. Or, it you would rather, in order to keep tho account straight, send me a check for $509 01, which I will not deposit until Saturday morning, when you can deposit the enclosed check for $300. I would rather have you do the latter, bnt in case you cannot do so, re turn the check with the $209 01 and receipt for $200. I kave not figured the interest out yet, but will do so in a few days, and with the presentation of the next bill will attend to that part of the arrangement. Terrt. Powderly maintained his grip at the fall convention of 1887, and consequently this financiering was not exposed. Two sample "personal" letters received by Turner throw some light upon the General Master Workman's rendering of his monthly ex pense bills and his diplomacy regarding the order : Scrantox, Pa., October 29, 18S7. You arc right. I did make a mistake in not sending $350. I was under tlyj im pression that tscnt $1,050 when I made tne jksi payment, ana aid not iook over mv book nntil yon called m y attention to it. I would have discovered it when I made my entry, and wouldle $20 in if you did not drop onto me. Why could not you let a tel low ret away with a little thing like that Seriously speaking, I Jeel that I ought to pay interest on the amount. Terry. Catching Up in tho Telegram. Scraxton, Oct. 5, 1SS3. Hero is my bill for September. You seo I am catching up on the telegrams. Won't let Carleton havo'all tne big Aggers on telegra phy. We had a talk in tho board room tho other day, and I intended to speak to you about it. In 3 our report you Intend to say something about the Jailing off in member ship. I would not do that if I were von for tho reason for the falling off will,' no doubt, ho discussed on the floor of the G. A. It., and unless ou enter into do tail tho reporters will simply set forth w hat you say and will not give the reason Litchman will present his report in wHUn and base it on the other.. For that reason I think we ought to have an understanding ull aiound before wo give him any chances to win glory. Tekrv. Efforts to reach Powderly to-night, to ob tain his side of the story told by Turner, were unavailing. It is supposed, though, that when he does respond some more inter esting secrets will be disclosed. The OH Exports for October. Washington-, Nov. 14.

BROOKLYN HEIRESS TO MILLIONS WEDS A MAN OF ALL WORK. The Marriage Has the Full Consent of Her Indulgent Parents Years of Faithful Service Find a Splendid Reward Not at All an Elopement. - New York, Nov. 14. Special It was announced to-day that Henrietta B. Crowell and Helmar If icolai Nilsen had been mar ried Tuesday, and the announcement caused general surprise. Miss Crowell is a daughter of Stephen Crowell, of Brooklyn, who died fwo years ago, leaving an estate of about 52,000,000. He was President of the Phoenix Insurance Company, of Brooklyn. In addition to being an heiress, Miss Crowell is both beautiful and accomplished. Nilsen came to this country several years ago from Christiana, Norway. He found employment with Dr. Cates at his sanita rium in Lakewood, If. J. He took care of th,e baths and also made himself generally useful. During the last year, at times of need, he waited on the table. Dr. Cates evidently valued him, for he told a reporter Nilson was the cleverest, as well as the most industrious and thoroughly trust worthy, man he ever had in his employ. bmce Stephen Urowell's death .Mrs. Crowell and her three daughters have given up their residence in Brooklyn, and are spending their winter at various resorts in this vicinity. Last winter wbb spent at Dr. Cates' place in Lakewood. There Miss Henrietta Crowell first saw Nilsen. Nobody expected that the beautiful heiress would fall in love with the Norwegian man of all work, but she did. Their attachment remained long a secret, but before the Crowclls left in the spring it was Generally known at Lakewood. Everything con nected with their courtship has been greatly magnified, and it is now popularly supposed that their marriage followed an elopement, but such does not appear to have been the case. George Ingraham, the Eecond Vice Presi dent of the Phoenix Insurance Company and the husband of Miss Crowell's eldest sister, said this morning that no elopement had taken place, and that Miss Crowell had married with the knowledge and consent of her iamily. Mr. Ingraham is the executor of Stephen Crowell's will. The marriage took place at White Plains, where Miss Crowell had been a patient at the Keeley Institute. She is said to hare been cured of a slight inclination to the opium habit. THE ANAECHISTS DISPOSED. Two Fined for Carrying Concealed Weapons and One for 'Drunkenness. Chicago, Nov. 14. When the Anarch ists' cases were resumed this morning, Ernest Buppcrt, who was arrested with a revolver on his person, was the first witness examined. He denied being an Anarchist, and explained that the revolver was in his pocket by merest accident, and declared that he had no idea of using it. He was fined 550 for carrying concealed weapons. John Deishell was fined 523 for carrying concealed weapons: Conrad, 510 for drunk enness, that being the only charge that could be proved against him, while David Litter took a change of venue. The Justice withheld decision in the case of Henry Mil ler, who averred that he lived at 'Brighton Park, and that he carried hisTfeapon" solely as a means of defense. at night.

PSAYIHa FOB SAIN AND COAL. (Manufacturers Obliged to Shut Down and Wait for Necessary Fuel. Cincinnati, Nov.14. SpsriaL Down river towns are in a state of agony over their coal supply. There is not a town be tween here and Pittsburg with over ten days fuel on hand with the present weather, and much less if it grows colder, as indica tions favor. Scarcely one of these towns has acces to a railroad, and all are there fore wholly dependent o the river and ad jacent woods for fuel. There is no dry wood to be had, anoHhe situation at many points borders on the desperate. Quite a number cf small manufacturing enterprises shut down to-night on account of the scarcity of coal, thns adding to the distress of the poor caused by cold weather and the famine price of coaL At a number of points special services will be held to-morrow, and prayer for rain offered. There is also an unusual amount of sickness prevalent, and the death rate is the highest fo"r years. Urgent pleas for eoal sent to dealers here cannot be an swered because Cincinnati hasn't a bushel to spare, and the river continues to fade awav. NEW YOKE IN HEED 07 BAIN. General Dyrenfurth Called on to Help Hurry Up a Shower. New Yoke, Nov. 14. Special. So great is the scarcity of water here just now that a movement is on foot to invite General Dyrenfurth to come to New York and re peat his rainmaking experiments at some point in the Croton watersheds early next week. It is from the sec tion named that New York gets its water supply. The General was seen to day, in Washington, regarding the project. Dispatches recieved here to-night say the rainmaker declared the scheme to be "per fectly(leasible." and that he would under take "to produce a rainfall under conditions to be established by calculations he will make before noon'to-morrow. He will en deavor to start ior this city to-morrow morning. The New York aquaduct engineers de clare that onlv a rainfall of two inches in the next few days can saye the city from actual water famine. Even now a water fast has beeun, and there is little prospect of rain while the present fine weathgr lasts. The washing of sidewalks with hose has been prohibited, and other means of pre venting waste have been adopted. A MINISTEB GETS FIFTEEN YEAES. The Itev. H. W.

INFLUENCE OP THE FACTIONS. The Harmony of the Two Leaders Was Only for Campaign Purposes. BLAINE A VERT VIGOROUS 1XYALID WHOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.! New York, Nov. 11 Not a little anxiety is felt here among representative Democrats as to the Presidental outlook. While matters have been somewhat nar rowed by the elimination of Governor Pat tison, of Pennsylvania, and Governor Campbell, of Ohio, from the list of possible candidates, the position of New York with regard to the Democratic future has become more doubtful and complex. A good many leading Democrats inside as well as outside of New York are of the opinion that the party would do well to select its national standard bearer from the West from any other State, in fact, rather than from- this. Yet the character and re sults of the recent contest in the various States more strongly rivet the political gaze upon New York. The outcome of a sweeping Democratic majority for Mr. Flower over Mr. Fassett, the administration candidate, was foreseen by the Herald and Sun, and by the former openly deprecated. Curiously enough, New York Democrats can now be found on every hand who shake their heads when a New York candidate for the Presidency is mentioned. Curiously, I say, because politicians as a rule are first for their own State against all comers very often "first, last and all the time," win or lose. Men Who Stand on Principles. Notwithstanding this natural feeling of State pride there are plenty of wise and sincere men who look beyond. They never held office, do not expect or wish to control those who do hold office and have no com munity of thought with spoilsmen. They put their faith in eternal principles. They want a national administration that repre sents these principles. To that end they want the best man who has the best chance of national success. If such a man can be found in New York they would want him above all other men. There are many and serious reasons why many New York Democrats are now looking hopefully and anxiously beyond New York for a Presidental candidate. The principal reasons arc better understood here than elsewhere. The factional feuds and bitter personal rivalries, the uncertain results which follow apparently well-considered nominations, the hostility to the machine and the impossibility of separating this machine from the question of party fealty cannot be safely overlooked. Thev are k not overlooked here, whatever may be the prevailing opinion ot the Democracy at large. A Condition, Not a Theory. It is.no sufficient answer to aver that these feuds arc foolish in view of the grand good to be, accomplished, that these rivalries must be put down, that the cry of the machine is senseless. The conditioq.-ds what confronts the Eaiional'Demooracy, Nor is thiB condition less formidable and alarming by reason of the overwhelming victory scored in the election of the Demo cratic State ticket. On the contrary, th'e 'disease which affects the Democratic body politic in New Xork is aggravated by the excess of triumph. It intensifies the hatreds and revives animosities that would have been buried in defeat. It creates new rivalries where none before existed. The tyranny of the machine is aggravated by the consciousness of its own strength. In the first place, the tremendous plural ity for Boswell P. Flower was mainly due to'theunpopulnrity of Mr. T. C Piatt and the covert hostility to the administration candidate. It was won in Bepublican strongholds, and the circumstances which cave the Democrats that plurality might never again bear similarity. With national issues and national candidates even unpop ular Bepublican leaders would not leave such results. A full Bepublican vote would have cut the Democratic candidate down to a trifling plurality, if not defeated the entire State ticket. What the Flower Victory Was. This is the plain, unquestionable and un questioned fact. It is this seeming Demo cratic strength, this apparent greatness of the Democratic victory that leaves the local Democratic conditions more precar ious than they were before. This is the turn and substance of the Flower victory. It was achieved by a party as well united as it can be under existing circumstances airainst a badly organized and divided enemy. The national Democracy should understand this thoroughly. With this understanding let us turn to the question forced upon us by the political conditions. The popularity of ex-President Cleveland did not require the extraordinary demonstrations of the campaign. Every body who has watched current events knows that his manly and consistent stand on the subject of the tariff and his efforts in behalf of civil service reform, endeared him re the larger and perhaps better portion of his party and challenged the respect of his political enemies. Perhaps it is natural that these should credit him with a large share in the recent State contest. On the other hand, the equally zealous friends of Governor Hill attribute the victory to his intrepid and brilliant leadership. They are quite as enthusiastic in his praise as are the iollowers of the ex-President in the laudation of their idol. And so far as work and re sults are concerned Governor Hill is en titled to all the praise he gets. Hill and Cleveland Out Again. The same old feeling underlies all this. The knife is not rusting in the scabbard. Both Cleveland and Hill are in the Presi dental field. United formally for the time being by the necessities of the campaign, they have again been forced into the lists, the one pitted against the other. Betore spring you will see ample evidences of the jealousy and hatred that divide the foliow ng of Mr. Cleveland from the following of Mr. Hill. This leenng is so intense and so permeates the entire Democratic party in New York that all thoughtful Democrats here deplore the tendency ot the party at large to fall back upon one of these two men for a Presidental nomination. It is regarded as a moral cer tainty that neither Cleveland nor Hill can carry this State on a Presidental ticket as against Blaine, McKinley, or even Harrison. Mr. Cleveland is more popular with his friends than ever he was. But has he made any more friends? That is the material Soint. Would he cast anymore votes in Tew York than he did before? If so, where are they? In what direction has he made any progress? I have always been a warm admirer of the ex-President myself, but even Mr. Cleveland's personal friends are not justified in withholding the truth in this matter. ' Cleveland's Nomination .Means Defeat. His nomination means defeat in this State. If New York is any index it means national defeat. It must be admitted that Mr. Cleveland labors under greater disad vantages than Mr. Hill, or any other: New York man who has been mentioned. He stands irrevocably committed to certain lines of public policy, on which his party is divided. He has identified himself with NOVEMBER 15, 1891. certain elements of his party, North and South, to the exclusion of other elements The offices ihat tempt the ambitious and the' spoilsmen are already in effect parceled out. Those who were before ignored have no promise of recognition in the future. These are all serious and conclusive rea sons why the ex-President occupies a more' disadvantageous position as to. the presi dency than almost any other candidate. They existed at his second running and he wa defeated by a man who never had any popularity even in his own State. No sub sequent events have occurred to modify the forceof these objections. It is difficult to understand the wild in fatuation1 of those who look upon a single man as necessary to party success. The ad herents of Governor Hill are quite as rabid in their degree of political madness. The New York victory is to them a Hill victory. Both factions are now on the still hunt to capture the machine. Slust Wear Tammany's Collar. The machine is Tammany. You know what Tammany is. The faction which promises most to Tammany will capture the uiaguiiic. . u Aeiuuurub cau ue uuuuuuicu from this State without Tammany. Because Tammany is the Democratic party of New York City, and the Democratic party of New York City is the controlling majority of the Democratic party, of New York State. Essentially, there'fore, Tammany is the holder of the political reins, and any man who hopes to reach national authority from New York must come under the Tam many harness and be adorned with the Tam many collar. If this were merely necessary in this State perhaps the concession would not be material; bnt the national candidate who comes from New York must carry the Tam many odium through every State in the Union. The tiger of New York will sud denly assume national proportions and a national significance. That is why sound Democratic thinkers deprecate the display of any popular sentiment looking toward a New York candidate, especially to either Cleveland or Hill- The latter is too closely linked with machine politics to escape the odium of representing the Tammany ma chine in a national canvass, Leave Out New York Issues. Steer clear of New York, gentlemen, if you wish to get a national candidate who will be reasonably certain of being able to carry New York in a national election. There is plenty of good Democratic mate rial. Any Democratic candidate who can carry Indiana, Connecticut and New Jer sey can carry New York. What is needed for success here is a can didate who will bring about a separation of local and national issues. No local man yet named can promise such a desirable result. The nomination of any New York man will be a bad move on the part of the Democracy, and that bad move will be the worst should" it favor Cleveland or Hill. Mr. Dana, of the Sun, but voices the feeling of many New York Democrats when he urges the selection of a Presidental candi date from any State rather than New .York. The Herald utters wise counsel in its warn ing to the National Democracy to avoid the pitfall of Tammany. When reputable men and the party as well as independent journals are found Rising Above Stato Pride and calmly and earnestly protesting against the selection ot a Presidental candidate from their own Stateit ought to mean some thing to the people of other States. It is not in the interests of this or that man. It is not against this or that or the other man. It is simply the patriotic warning avoid New York. We will support any good Democratic 'leader from any other State in the Union rwho represents Democratic principles 'Nts'sfork is full of danger to a New.' York man. Avoid it as the tramp avoids the house hearing the sign on "the front gate "Beware of the Dog!" These are whole some counsels, and I promulgate them not alone because they snow the undercurrent news, but as one appreciating and respect ing the full force of their political logic Chaeles Theodore Murray. BLAINE'S EXCELLENT HEALTH BELTIKG THE WISE MEN WHO PORTED HIM DYING. KE- Jaunty Appearance of the Popular Secre tary of State His Daily Walks Past the Residence of the Hales 'o Signs of Physical Decay. Washington, Nov. 14. Special The wise men who, when Mr. Blaine returned to Washington, a tew days ago, after an ab sence of nearly six months, pictured him as "aphysical wreck," "a tottering old man with one foot in the grave," "a victim of paresis, and an all-round dead duck, po litically and otherwise, many of them with out having seen him, have been compelled to draw in their horns. When the Secre tary of State, on the evening of his arrival, went unattended to call upon the Presi dent, the "physical wreck" statements seemed a little doubtful, and when, on the following day, he ran iauutily down the White House steps, after a conference on Chilean affairs, and walked, without over coat or gloves, to the State Department, the "tottering old man" story was torn to atoms. Since that time the Secretary has been daily in his office, personally attending to its duties, and every bright afternoon can be seen strolling along Sixteenth or K or one of ihi neighboring streets, taking a constitutional. He seems to take a great interest in tife beautiful mansion which Mrs. Zachariah Chandler is jnst completing on an aristocratic corner and which is to be occupied this winter by herself and the family of her son-in-law, Senator Hale. The Hales are close friends of the Blaines, which accounts, for the Secretary's interest in the new house. As he walks by and around it every pleasant afternoon . the signs of paresis are nowhere apparent, but, on the contrary, Mr. Blaine looks as if he would have the pleasure of mingling with the gay world that will soon be thronging the beautiful parlors of the handsome and imposing house of his old protege in Con gress and successor in the Senate. SAN FBANCISCO'S OFFEB. The Golden Gate Determined to Have Either or Both of the Conventions. San Francisco, Nov. 14. The work of securing $50,000 in subscriptions forthepre liminary guarantee fund for the expenses of the National Bepublican and Democratic Conventions, in the event either or both of the conventions being held in this city, has been completed by a committee of business men, who will go to Washington to lay San Francisco's offer before the National Com mittees of the two parties to-night. " Mr. Quinn said to-day: "One of our first moves in dealing with the National Com mittees will be to make a flat offer to pay the transportion of all delegates to and from ban Francisco.

Extension of the Reciprocity Features of the McKinley Bill. ENLARGEMENT OF OUR MARKETS. An Author Loses His Job in the Pension Department Because BE WEOTli A BOOK ABOUT HIS SHOP Washington-, Nov. 14. The Depart ment of State is steadily pnrsuing its policy of enlarging the markets tor Ameri can products in foreign countries by means of agreements made under the reciprocity provisions of the McKinley act. The sub ject which is engaging attention at present is that of the trade relations between the United States and the British West Indies and Guinea. Sir Julian Pauneefote, who has charge of the negotiations in behalf of the British Government, is availing himself of the ex pert knowledge of Mr. Neville Lubbock, Chairman of the London West Indies com mittee of sugar producers.. He was sent to Washington in this advisory capacity by the British foreign office at the suggestion of the West India Colonial authorities, be cause of his special familiarity with the tariff of the British West Indian colonies in general, and with the desires ot the col onists of British Guinea in particular. Bep resentatives of the British colonies of Ja maica and Barbadoes are now on their way to Washington to furnish the British Min ister here with such special information as may be useful in the negotiation of an agree ment Mr. Lubbock has had several conferepces with General John Foster, representing the Department of State, with a view to arrest the preliminaries of the agreement,'but as the intention as to make the agreement broad enough to include all of the British West Indian colonies and Guinea, the pres ence of the experts from Jamaica and Bar badoes is essential to substantial progress toward an agreement. ANAUTHOB OUT OF A JOB. Mr. Bogy Fired From the Pension Office for Writing a Book. WASHrKGTON,Nov. 14. Secretary Noble to-day dismissed from the service Lewis V. Bogy, of St. Louis, a clerk in the Pension Office, for having written and published a novel of an objectionable character of offi cial life in Washington. In making his re port upon the subject to Secretary Noble, General Baum says: "The book has scarcely a redeeming feature between its covers. Its motive seems to present the official and social life in Washington in the worst pos sible light" In his indorsement dismissing Bogy, Sec retary Noble says: "The book is slander ous on good and industrious people, and the further retention of its author in office would be to the harm of the service. Mr. Bogy is dismissed." Postmasters Soon to Be Filled. Washington, Nov. 14.

Itesult of the First Week's Exciting Pri maries In New Orleans. New Orleans, Nov. 14. Special The result of the first week's Democratic pri maries in Louisiana on the lottery question is unfavorable to the opponents of the lot tery company. The contest is over the question whether or not the Democratic State Convention shall insert a plank in its platform denouncing the lottery and calling upon all Democrats to vote against the con stitutional amendment -extending the char ter of the lottery company for 25 years: The "antis" favor this plank, and will put it in the platform of their own. The McEnry Democrats, who oppose them, insist that the Democratic convention shall take no action on the lottery question, but submit to the white voters, and accept their decision. The week's elections show 82 votes anti lottery and 186 in favor of the submission of the matter. McEnry, for Governor, has 191 votes, and Adams, President of the Farm ers' Alliance, 66.

His condition is not considered serious, although it is not thought he will be able to resume his duties for a few days. QUAY'S SUNDAY LUCK. HIS tAKGEST TAKFON WAS LASDED A WEEK AGO TO-DAY. Expert Opinion on the Big Game Fish a a Food Tho Senator's Outfit Is an Old Snlt Tie Wore In Washington Mahone'g Sensational Costume. St. Lucie,Fla.,Nov. 14. Thus far since his arrival here, Senator Quay has had fair luck at tarpon fishing. On November 7, he caught three, No. 1 was 4 feet long and weighed 30 pounds; No. 2 was 4 feet long and weighed 48 pounds: while No. 3 was v4 feet long and tipped the scales at 81 pounds. On the following day (Sunday) the Sena tor's fishing score was as follows: No. 4, 6 feet, 130 pounds: No. 5, 5 feet, 78 pounds. While the Senator's largest and heaviest catch was on Sunday, he does not think that the day had anything to do with it. "The waters of Lucie," said Mr. Quay yesterday, "are best tarpon fishing grounds in all 1 J have fished everywhere in F 'Ahj and down the Gulf and tnts-V '-t v and I una in no omer piace "f do as here." Mr. tarpon taKes table and has been cooked properly. "Isn't the eating of any portion of the tarpon something comparatively new?" he was asked. "No," wajfthe reply. '1 learned down at Fort Myers, where I-fished two winters ago. that the natives have always eaten the steaks, and the Indians, I am told, have made food of this fish always. m "Do I like the steaks? Well, yes, b"t I'm not 'stuck' on them. There are a dozen varieties of perfectly delicious food fish here, so why do penance i tarpon? The steaks are not positively repulsive, but I prefer other fish to the silver king." Mr. Quay's fishing costume is simply an old suit, discarded for general wear, which has a decidedly familiar look to the Wash ington newspaper correspondents who fre quented the Senate press gallery a year and a half ago. It is badly stained with bait, but stands the hard usage quite as well as the Senator's face and hands, which are badly sunburned. Of the other members of the party, Ben Sooy has had the best of luck. .General Ma hone is "not in it," but' he is remarkable for a pair of dark brown striped trousers gathered in at the top to a broad waistband, like those of a New England country boy which buttons to an underwaist. '"They are comfortable," says the great Fusionist, "and that is all I care for." SALE OF ANCESTBAL ACBE3. Becoming: Quite a Fad Among; England's Great Landlords. BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCTI.l London, Nov. 14. The Duke of Fife's example of selling his ancestral acres and investing the proceeds in securities quoted on the stock exchange, and, therefore, more easily converted, has become contagious.. Several great landlords are prep'aring to fol 'low the lead of the Prince of Wales son-in-law, and the Duke of Sutherland has al ready applied to the Court of Sessions at Edinburgh for authority to disen tail some of his estates in order to be legally free to sell them. The Dnke is a territorial magnate. He owns 176,343 acres in Sutherlandshire, 17,495 acres in Shropshire and 12,744 in Staffordshire, and his tenants pay him 126,800 yearly in rent The court is not likely to give him the de sired permission, as his eldest son and heir, the Marquis of Stafford, is opposing the disentailing, and the Duke of Westminster and, oddly enough, the Duke ot Fife have joined in this opposition as "curators" for the younger sons. Tbe'Duke of Suther land has given no reason for seeking to up set things. Evidently he cannot urge the welfare of the younger sons, which is some times successfully pleaded as an excuse for disentailing, and he cannot allege personal poverty. ( THE OBABQE DIAMOHD'S 0W5EB. Thomas Boston Bruce, of Juondon, Proves It Helonc to Him. NEW York, Nov. 14. Special The "orange diamond" has at last found its owner. All the litigation it has caused, ex cept one little suit for a few thousand dol lars damages for false imprisonment, came to an end to-day, and now the big yellow stone is ready to shine in the diadem of some popular actress, or on the white bosom of a summer hotel clerk, with its title un disputed. By a paper filed in the County Clerk's office to-day, all claimants give up their claims in favor of Thomas Boston Bruce, of London. Mr. Bruce is one of the few men who have not been mensioned as owners of the diamond. He stepped into the case very quietly last August He surprised all the other claimants, but he succeeded in estab lishing histitle so well that they made the offer for a judgment which was filed to-day. The diamond came to America last year with Ed C. 31. Bruce. It has been in a Boston pawnshop, in the property room at police headquarters, in the hands of a re ceiver, in a jeweler's window and in the possession of no less than a dozen persons since it arrived. It cost $1,500 to get it through the Custom House, and the officials there valued it at 15,000. UBS. BTJSSELL WINS HEE SUIT. End of a Damage Case That Has Bun Along for Twelve Tears. New York, Nov. 14. Special The great 516,000 damage suit of Mary F. Bus sell against James A. Bradley, of Asbury Park, for malicious prosecution, which has agitated Jersey at intervals for 12 years. ended to-day with a verdict for the plaintiff for $12,500. In August, 1879, Mrs. Bnssell was arrested at the instance of Mr. Bradley, for selling liquor at her drug store in Asbury Park, without a license or a phy sician's prescription. Mrs. Bnssell was taken before 'Squire Bennett and discharged because Mr. Brad ley could not produce his witnesses, among wham was an actor of a theatrical troupe which had been playing in Educational Hall, and who. after 12 years, turned up as a witness at the present trial. .Afewdays later Bhe was arrested upon the orders of 'Squire Bennett. She was indicted for keeping a disorderly house, upon an affi davit made by one ot her former clerks, but the case was dropped. Mrs. Btissell then sued Mr. Bradley. The case was fought from one court to another until it finally got into the United States Circuit Court here. English Capital Going to Italy. rBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, Nov. 14.

Kentucky Slue Elood Eoils at an Insult, and Toung Breckenridge i GETS TREATED TO A HARD TBOUNCIXG rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Lexington, Ky., Nov. 14. A tremend. ous sensation was created in society circles here to-day. About 1 o'clock this morninj there was a pitched battle between Bobert Breckenridge, son of the "Silver-tongued" Congressman, Colonel William C P. Breckenridge, and Danlt Arnold, a well known society young man of Frankfort They both attended the Governor's ball and had a misunderstanding over the hand of a Blue Grass beauty for a certain dance. They stepped outside the ballroom door, and when Breckenridge asked Arnold why ha had called him names, Arnold replied that he had not done so. "You are a liar," exclaimed the excited Breckenridge. And with that Arnold struck him in the face. Smarting under the sting of the blow and wounded pride, Breckenridge invited Ar nold outside to settle the affair. Arnold went with him, as did 20 or more of Breck- Breckenridge's friends, who recognized that their man was clearly in the wrong, at tempted to induce him to drop the matter, but he was determined to have blood. Arnold did not want to fight He said he had made no remarks abont Breckenridge, bore him no ill-will, and beside having an aversion to fisticuffs on general principles, he was particularly opposed to a fizht on this occasion, because it was a reception ball to the Governor of the State and would create an unusual amount of scandal. All this time Breckenridge's friends wera holding him by main force, and seeing a conflict was inevitable let him go while an impromptu ring was formed. He rushed on Arnold in a way that would have made Sullivan green with envy. This round was sparred to the disadvantage of Arnold. In the second round Arnold's dander was up and he went right at the Congressman's son. He mashed his nose and blackened both eyes. He loosened his teeth and pummeled Breckenridge's mouth to a jelly. All the time the big bully he weighs 50 pounds more than Arnold was squealing like a stuck pic, but Arnold hit him again and again, and finally kicked him out the barn, door. Breckenridge had.to be carried to a hotel, and will hardly be out for a few days. His dress suit was ruined, and his face look3 like a cyclone had played with it fornix honr. Arnold was scarcely reddened, and returned to the balL It is rumored on the streets that Brecken ridge has sent Arnold-word to arm himself, as fie will kill him on sight. Both parties are socially prominent, and the prominence of their fathers one being a Congressman, the other the leading clergyman of the State gives unusual prominence to the affair. BBAVEBY HOI TJHBE'WABDZD. A Deputy United States Marihal Receives H Fine Present From an Emperor. New York, Nov. 14. Special Deputy United States Marshal Bernhardt was called to step down to the office of the Aus-tro-Aungarian Consul, to-day. When ho got there he met Consul Anton Von Palit schek, "Vice Consul Otto P. Eberhardt, and the consul for the Anstro-Hungarian Gov ernment in this city. "Well," said Mr. Bernhardt, "what is it yon wish of me? I am here." Whereupon Consul Palitschek produced a little case, inside of which was a scarf pin, ablaze with 14 large diamonds, and in the center a crown with the initials "F. J." "I present this to you," said the consul, "on behalf of His Most Gracious 3Iajesty, the Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria." And the consul, in a long address, set .forth the many claims of Mr. Bernhardt to such recognition. Mr. Bernhardt lost his tongue. He thanked the consul in an embarassed way, and put the gift safely away in his pocket. This is not the first gift he has received. Every government in Europe, with but one or two exception, has made him substantial presents, and our Government has twice re warded him "for bravery and skill ia catching criminals.
