UNO NEW! PEOPLE, An Economite Man Unfolds the Tenets of a New and Strange Belief. SPIRIT-INSPIEED OAHSPE Written by a Human Who Neither Ate Nor Slept for 100 Days. A Scheme to Purify Coming Genera tions by Raising Children in a Place "Where Vice and Disease Are Un known One Hundred Children Already Under Instruction at Las Cruces The Weird Narrative of an Enthusiast Writing: a Bible at the Command of Spirits. David Silverfriend, of Economy, last sight cave to the world the details of a new religion, of which Dr. H. S. Tanner, the celebrated faster, is a leading exponent and ardent disciple. In yesterday's Dispatch was an account of Dr. Tanner's mission, which is the for mation of a colony of children of unknown parentage in a locality far removed from world communion, wbo will be raised to a rigidly pure life, physically and morally, and whose descendants will be the most per fect types of mankind in existence. The disciples of the new faith have been doing their proselyting in a quite, unpreten tious, although thoroughly systematic manner. David Silverfriend, a believer in the creed of the Faithists, wa9 seen at his home in Economy last night, and the strangely peculiar history of the society was obtained. Mr. Silverfriend spread before him a great thick book in appearance much like a Bible, and said: Constantly Attended by Familiar Spirits. Some years ago there lived In New York a youns man of superior mental qualifica tions. His name I am not at liberty to dis close at present as I do not wish to assume a too great responsibility. However, he was brainy, and a man of very strong will. In direct contrast to his mental wealth wero his worldly possessions, for he was poor as the proverbial chuich mouse. Trie man was a spiritualist and was nttended by familiar spirits all the time. He was in some posi tion that barely paid him enough to keep body and soul together, but be had a great deal of spare time, which he advantageously em ployed in the study of the sciences. In his studies he was guided by his spirits, and, in fact, was under their constant control. One ni?ht be returned to his humble lodg ings utterly worn out. He threw hinis.olf wearily upon his hard little bed and fell into a heavy slumber. He had slept for several hours or more, when he wns-jiroused, and In a half-dazed condition was led through a maze of darkened streets and Into a houso of better appointments than the one whero he had formerly existed. Typewriting for a. Hundred Days. The guiding spirit bade him sit down to a typewriting machine located on a table in tbe centre of the room and write as his hands were guided, without once looking'at the cony. Accustomed as he was to implicit obedience, he did as the spirits told him and began upon the work. Although he bad never before used a typewriter he was able to write with amazing rapidity and that without paying any attention whatever to the keys of the machine. The room was in total darkness when he began, but the day gradually broke, and with the vanish ing dai kness also went the fatigue of his body. He was enthused with a new life, and lie kept diligently at his work. Breakfast time came, and as tbe spirits seemed to be un willing that he should cease, he continued. Sinner time, supDer time and tho hour for retiring approached and passed. He was neither hungry nor sleepy, and worked on and on. The hours lengthened into days, the days into weeks, and still the spirit inspired man contiuuea at his task. Tor 100 days and nights the man wrote away without stopping for food, drink orsleep. All earthly desires seemed to be of an entirely different being. The Spirits Had Some Spare Cash. When the work was finished he dropped into a heavy sleep and remained in that condition for three days. When his senses returned to him he found tho great pile of manuscript piled up beside him and the sin gle word Publish" written upon a sheet of paper on top. He was in despair. How he could publish the great amount of matter In his impoverished condition he did not know. Trusting in the spliits, however, he arose, took up his manuscript and started to leave the house. In the hail be found a ?ackage containing $5,000 and with bright lopes he went to the publishing house of George Ballou, and in the course of a short time the book was published. He Immediatelv began teaching the new faith and interested Mi s. Thompson, the famous New York philanthropist: Dr. Tanner and others. Property was purchased near Las Cruces, N. SI., and upon it was erected a building large enough to house 100 children, and a great number of the orphan asylums and homes for friend less little ones were visited and 100 uncared-for children, of unknown par entage, whose physical conditions were un dlseased, were taken to the new home. There thev are to be reared in total ignor ance of vice in any of its forms and the highest moral, intellectual and physical standards are to be attained. Creatine a Perfect Type or Humanity. Tbe desire is to make perfect types of hu manity. When the Inmates have arrived at the age of man and womanhood they will be Joined together in matrimony, but upon a different code of laws than the people of tho world to-day follow. The progeny is ex-TiBi-ted to be of a superior class of mortals. and the crime of vice will be unknown. The experiment of Los Cruces will doubtless be followed within a few years, as the so ciety increases in strength, by similar institntions in other parts of the world. The children are taught the industries and other works or the latest improved patents. Much time, money ana thought liab been spent upon the scheme, if so it may be called, and now tbe Faithists are In a position to leel more than sanguine of the successor tbe first experiment. Then Mr. Silverfriend spread open tbe great book, and Oahspe, the book of divine inspiration, being the only true Bible, and authentic history of the world for the past 24,000 years, together with the true words of the great Jehovah, the Lord God of Gods, angels, spirits, men and beasts, was open for review, criticism or belief. in Unusually Modest Antbor. The author's name is nowhere to be found within the covers of tbe book, but pub lishers copyright notice of "Geo. Ballou, J884" is upon one of the fly leaves. The belief embraces parts of every religious doctrine of the known world. There are tenets therein of the Buddhists, Mohamme dans, Christians, Brahmins, Scientists, Fire Worshipers, Spiritualists, Xheosophists and Hebrews. The author declares himself the Christ, and takes for his arguments the A NEW RELIGION w theory of the Theosophists in their belief of the reincarnation of tbe spirit and trans migration of the souL He declares be has lived through a thousand lives, beginning with the lowliest and attained his present spiritual eminence through a count less series of lives and deaths in this and the spirit worlds. He says Jehovah, the Lord God and the universe has always existed and always 'shall. It being peopled in different agei and that now we are in the piscatorial, or propagative era. He places man when first on this earth, during the last cycle of 24,000 years as crawling upon the ground, and that a four-beaded beast was put into him, one head being Buddha, one Christ, one Brahma and one Mohammet. The beasts were to be the physical punishments for the mis deeds of his'will, and that Jehovah raised "him up and endowed him with speech and knowledge. Heaven Is Simply a Fairer Earth. The author gives a heaven and a hell as well as purgatory and paradise. Heaven is tbe spirit world and iB just as is this earth. The spirits live and attain a degree of eminence and then die and become human. In their successive lives, if they tend to become better, they attain a greater eminence with each life and finally they enter into the seven stages of spiritual supremacy, passing from angel or spirit man to God, the last, stage before being ab sorbed by the Lord God, who is Jehovah, and attain karma or perfect happiness. If the mortal deteriorates he gets lower and lower, and after passing through the seven stages of wickedness is absorbed by either the devil, the male incarnate of wickedness, or, in case they are of the female sex, absorbed by Satan, the female incarnation of wickedness. The spirits of heaven are given more privileges than are humans as they are per mitted to hold converse with any and all mortals, while the latter can only communicate with certain congenial shades. The punishments for mortal weaknesses, vices and crimes are suffered in the flesh and mind, and in the dissolu tion of tbe soul from the body by a descent in the spiritual world several degrees lower than that occupied on earth. The spirit seeks the congenial level the body has known on earth. Thus, if a mortal be vicious, he becomes a vicious spirit and unless he chooses to elevate himself he sinks lower and lower. One thing interest ing and attractive is the many more op portunites his converts are promised in the great number of chances one has to elevate himself. The Illustrator Was Also Inspired. The book has a great number of illustra tions, also said to be inspired showing the heavenly bodies in their many phases of evolution. There are also many peculiar hieroglyphics and curious characters,looking much like the characters of Chinese, Greek, East Indian, Egyptian, Arabic and Hebrew writings, as well as the symbols of secret societies, the skull and crossbones of the Masons and various other like symbols. These characters are interpreted, and have strange and weird meanings. Jehovah, or Lord God. is represented by a cat head veiled and held upon the crest of a crown that rests upon a scepter. All of the illustra tions are weird and strange. The book itself contains the lives of Biblical and pro fane historical characters. Thus Moses was inspired as, were also Pliny, Homer, Dante, Hilton and Madame Blavatsky. These are but a few of the great number cited. Jehovah is said to delegate certain of the spirits in one of the seven stages to become manifest in humans, and become prophets, historians, ministers, leaders and scientists. He sends forth a thousand spirits to become nuclei for one exalted man. Everything is done by the ordination of the Lord God, the Jehovah. He makes a distinction between Gods and Lord Gods, proclaiming the for mer to be far inferior to the latter. Woman Is to Boss the E-irth. "Woman is said to be the coming power of the earth, aud the Caucasian race is to be exterminated or absorbed by the Ethiopian race. He main tains that, the people of the earth will de teriorate as progenitors and will become far advanced in sciences to any age previous to the present one. In the first chapter he, the author, is in structed to gather together all the children of tbe earth and raise and instruct them in tbe highest moral and intellectual methods. This presumably is his excuse for starting the home in Las Cruces. A strict veg etarian diet is advocated, and the laws, or commandments, are most strict and read like the harsh rules of the Medes and Persians of ancient times. Summing up, the entire work, while very exhaustive, shows that the writer is remarkably well posted in all scientific, historical and theological subjects, and has an argument that is well aud consistently carried through out The work is most carefully edited and the language used is pure and simple. The author uses many phrases seen in the Bible, in the Koran and in the Talmud. The illustration- are rough and crude, but clear enough for the casual ob server to get a most excellent idea of the meaning of the author. The creed or belief at present has quite a number of supporters in many of the higher walks of life, according to Mr. Silver friend and they are principally lo cated in Boston, New York and other of the larger Eastern cities. The Economises have not adopted the creed and Mr. Silverfriend bays he is not trying to in terest them in it. "I am simply making my home among them for purely personal motives," he continued, "and have no designs upon them whatever," and he laughed lightly as the ponderous Bible, '"Oahspe" was placed on its narrow shelf above the fireplace. M0EE THAN HE BAEGAIHED. Hustlers Better Prepared for a Fight Than tho Cattle King Expected. Cheyenne, Wto., April 23. Major Frank "Wolcott and his 45 remaining men, comprising the baud that invaded Johnson county to kill and run out cattle thieves, are at Port Bussell, three miles from town. They left here 19 days ago by special train, full of fight and confidence. Some of the fight lives, but the confidence is shattered. "We only figured on fighting rustlers," said a leader, "and we were willing to take all the chances of war with them. Their ability to enlist aid amazed and stunned us. By actual count their force at the surrender was 320 able-bodied and well-armed men, who could be intelligently and effec tively handled by Arapahoe Brown, who developed into a great general. We did not count upon the fact that citizens without the least sympathy for known thieves re sent the interference of an outside force in their affairs. The whole country turned out to whip us, and they almost did it." FIGHTING IN UGANDA. Beports or the War Between Protestants nnd Catholics Confirmed. London, April 26. The Standard' Zan zibar correspondent confirms the recently published story about fighting in Uganda, East Africa, between Protestant natives and Catholic converts led by King Mwango. The Protestants, he said, were well armed with Snider rifles, and were victorious until Captain Lugard, the British East Africa Company's agent, arrived with rein forcements armed with Maxim rifles. There were heavy casualties on both sides, Ashe and Winton being among the killed. New Tork and the 400th Anniversary. Kew York, April 25.

PITTSBURG TUESDAY, APRIL 26. 1892 FOX'S FINAL FLING. Ante-Mortem Statement of One of the Heroes of the Late Duel WHO HAS AS YET SHED NO BLOOD. He Reiterates His Statement as to the Bale of the Letters. OCHILTREE LAUGHS AT ALL DUELING BT CABLE TO TBE DISPATCH London, April 25. Copyright, The duel on Saturday between Edward Fox and Hallett Alsop Borrowe, while it may set tle the question of the latter'a courage (that of Fox has never been doubted), does not settle the question of veracity raised with regard to the publication of the cor respondence between Borrowe and J. Cole man Drayton. At 4 o'clock on Saturday morning, Pox, who had been writing let ters in his room in the Hotel de V Europe in Antwerp all night, began his statement of the matter, which was hardly finished when his second called him at daylight to take the jrain for the dueling ground. This statement is as follows: Hotel de l'Europe, ) Aktweup, April 28, i a. it. Tbe time has arrived when I feel It neces sary to explain my connootion with the Drayton-Borrowe scandal, as I think It Is due to my friends that they should know the true story of how I became Identified with the trouble. 1 was asked by Colonel Tom Ochiltree If I would act as a second for a gentleman who had become embroiled In a quarrel in reference to a lady who was be-In;- persecuted by her husband. I declined to have anything to do with the matter, but the Colonel was very peislstent and ex plained that the parties fnterested belonged to such well-known inmllles In New York that the report of the fight would proven very valuable newspaper article, and I would have tbe exclusive story. Fox's Introduction to,MUbank. With this Inducement I finally consented to act, and was Introduced to Mr. Hallett Alsop Borrowe, and loft for Paris, carrying ft letter of introduction from Colonel Ochil tree to Mr. Harry Vane Mllbank It was thoroughly understood at the time that if the fight came off or if anything was to bo given to the newspapers I was to havo the benefit of It. Nothing could have been more courteous, than the prompt and gracious manner In which Mr. Milhank agreed to give bis assistance, and the busi ness was finally concluded by our declining to allow Mr. Borrowe to meet Mr. Drayton, for reasons that have already been printed. On our leturn to London I had the corre spondence type-written, and several copies wero made, as Mr. Borrowe wished some of his irlends to know exactly what had trans pired. I was slven one of these copie, and the question of publication was discussed on several occasions. The day that Mr. Boirowo left for America talked with him as to tho publi cation of the letters, and he said: "Use your own judgement, and if you find that the newspapers are trcttins the story in any garbled lorm, print the entile correspond ence, leaving out that portion of Aurelien Scholl's opinion that refers to a ladyr" Race Between Cable Correspondents. I cannot swear to the exact language, but I am positive as to what he desired to ex press. On the following day Colonel Ochil tree came to me and said that two news paper correspondents had called on him and asked for Information on the Drayton. Borrowe matter, and I was also shown a dispatch from New" York to a Lon don correspondent, asking for full particu lars aoout tue urayton-Borrowe auei. l was then advised by Colonel Ochiltree to give tbe correspondence for publication, and, I Fave-tt4aaorrespondent of Trra PirisuuHO Dispatch, as Mr. Borrowe -had- told him In my presence that I was authorized to Rive it to him whenever it looked as if the news papers had cot hold of the story. The Dis patch correspondent had already published his account of his Intcrvie-v with Borrowe, nnu me statement ue maue to mm ausuonz iiiR me to give the correspondence for pub lication. Colonel Ochiltree has also, in an interview published in The Dispatch, stated that he was present when tbe question of the publi cation of the letters was discussed, and that he knew that I was authorized to give them to tbe press whenever I found that there was a probability of their containing a dis connected story. There are several gentle men in London to whom Mr. Borrowe told the whole story, and there was always tlio chance of their being interviewed and In a careless way telling what they knew, so that a garbled version of the affair was liable to be printed at any moment. AVlthin a few hours I shall meet Mr. Borrowe, and in case there Is any serious result, I write these few Hues In order that my friends in America may know the actual facts, and I am suie that those that have known me as a journal ist will remember that I never broke faith in regard to a news Item. Edward Fox. Ochiltree's Present Position. IfBorrowe intends to see this matter through on the lines he has becrun.it will be his duty to challenge Colonel Ochiltree, or to write him an insulting letter. These two have not yet met since Borrowe's return to London, but Colonel Ochiltree has de nounced Borrowe publicly, aud threatened if he ever dared to speak to him (Ochiltree) to spit in his face. Other American and English gentlemen wbo were common friends of Fox and Borrowe before the latter denied that he authorized the former to publish the Borrowe-Drayton corres pondence, have been equally severe upon Borrowe. More than one of these advised Fox not to challenge Borrowe when he re turned to London, but to give him a thrashing. Milbank's position in the matter may be gathered irom tbe circumstance that he has professed himself absolutely neutral. As to the question of veracity between Fox and Borrowe, The Dispatch correspond ent was present at Milbank's request at the Langham Hotel a week ago Sunday, when Milbank delivered Borrowe's letter, pub lished in last Sunday's Dispatch, to Fox. It was the first time the two had met since they parted on terms of warmest friendship when Milbank sailed with Borrowe for New York. Mllbank Acting as a Friend. When Milbank handed Fox the letter, with the information that it was irom Borroye, Fox said, very coldly, "I would prefer that you should hand that to a gentleman I will ask to call on you." "No, no, old man," Milbank responded, warmly, "I am merely giving you this as a friend.'" When Fox retired to read the letter, Mil bank said to The Dispatch correspondent: "That is the most unpleasant duty I ever performed in my life. I absolutely re fused to take the letter to Fox until Bor rowe swore that if I didn't he would insult Fox in public. I only did the errand then to avoid any more ot this unpleasant no toriety." When Milbank read this same letter to Fox's second he was careful to say: "I am simply reading you this as Borrowe's sec-, ond, without any opinion pro or con with regard to its contents." Borrowe admitted in conversation with The Dispatch corre spondent on board the City ot Paris the day she arrived at Liverpool, that Fox might have misunderstood him about tbe publica tion of the correspondence, and that per haps he might find Fox "guilty only of an error in judgment." Borrowe Meyer Denied It. Borrowe would not deny, on the same oc casion, the statement published in The DISPATCH ot March 31, that Borrowe au thorized Fox to give the letters for publica tion in The Dispatch correspondent's presence. Borrowe did say that what he said was that the letter might be given out lor publication if Coleman-Drayton made a public statement that The Dispatch cor resppndent had evidently misunderstood him. The Dispatch correspondent does not think so, aud neither does Fox. Fox -said -alter the auei mat u .Borrow does not like the statement published above, he (Fox) is willing to fight another duel. An Associated Press cablegram from Lon don says: Colonel Thomas Ochiltree, who has been suffering from an attack of gout for some time past, is still confined to his room. Speaking to-day in regard to the recent duel between Messrs. Fox and Borrowe, in Bel gium, Colonel Ochiltree said that he had "nothing but feelings of contempt for the whole dnel business, which was a great farce." BROUGHT TO HIS FEET. Nledringbang, the Tin Plato Manufacturer, Objects to Some Remarks of Bli Pas torHe Attempts to Refute Some Argu ment! From His Pew Easily Mollified. ST. LOUIS, April 2S. Special Ex-Congressman F. G. Niednnghaus is a member of the Union M. E. Church, where quite a number of other millionaires worship. Yesterday morning Bev. 0. P. Masden preached a sermon on "Evangelism in the Cities," in the course of which he said the rich were getting richer and the poor poorer, supporting his statement by statistics. At the end of the sermon Dr. Masden announced that subscriptions would be taken lor a fund to send the gospel to those who were too poor to come and hear it John W. Kauffman and several others sub scribed 5500 each. A number of 5250 sub scriptions were received, and then Mr. Niedringhaus arose in his pew and said, with great earnestness: "Doctor, I don't think I can subscribe till I understand you better. You say that in the cities the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer, and I think you are wrong entirely. Figures will show you that the condition of the poor man is much better than it used to be, and under the present conditions wages are getting better every year. Besides, the workmgman now can buy more with his wages than he could 20 years ago," and buttoning up his Prince Albert coat, as if preparing for a speech, the tin plate manufacturer stepped out into the aisle, where he would have more room for gesture. Dr. Masden took one rapid glance at the horrified congregation; leaning forward in their seats and looking with dismay at the manufacturer, and then he rose to th'e situa tion. "Mr. Niedringhaus," said he, de cidedly, before the ex-Congressman could open his mouth again, "this is neither the time nor the place for discussing this ques tion. The workingman was not intended to be included in my statement. He profits by the increase of wealth of those for whom he works." "Well, I subscribe 5250," said Mr. Niedringhaus, mollified this much, at least, and he returned to his pew. BARB0SA CALLED DOWN. General Foster, Blaine and Senor Men donlca Deny His Statements. Washington, April 25. General Fos ter, of the State Department, who assisted in the reciprocity negotiations with the Brazilian Government, said this afternoon that there were several errors in the dis patch from Bio de Janeiro concerning the reciprocity agreement with that country, the principal one being that this Govern ment had pledged itself not to make a sim ilar agreement with any European Govern ment. A copy of General Foster's state ment was subsequently sent into Secretary Blaine at his house, and he returned it with the simple remark that it was correct. When the dispatch was shown to Senor Mendonica,the Brazilian Minister, be said he had already denied similar statements ema nating from ex-Minister Barboso. There was nothing in the correspondence between the two Governments '.to sustain, his state ments t bit the-Uhited .States had promised not to make a similar agreement with any European Government Senor Mendonica said these reports were being circulated by the enemies of the present Government solely for political purposes.

To make clear the reason for their introduction portions of Dr. Town send's pamphlet were read, in which he charged that many men in high office in the Church obtained their places by methods befitting a politician of the ordinary stamp, and then printed an anonymous letter at tacking grossly Dr. Moore," of the Advocate, of this city, and Dr. Cranston, of the book concern here, as well as Delaware Univer sity and several Ohio Bishops and secre taries. Dr. Moore denied the anonymous charges in his case, and said that if Dr. Townsend got "too bad" he would "bring him up with a short turn in a court of law." THE MISSISSIPPI ON A TEAS.

Mv$tm - TWEKVE PAGES. GAY PARIS SHAKEN By Another Destructive Bomb Hurled by Anarchy's Bed Hand. A CAFE BLOWN TO ATOMS And Us Proprietor Killed by Force of the Explosion. the HE HAD AIDED PARISIAN POLICE To Land Eavachol and Revenge Was Swift and Terrible. ALL CLASSES U2JNERFED BT THE SHOOK Paris, April 25. The restaurant of 'M. Very, who on March 30 delivered Bavachol, the Anarchist, into the hands of the police, was utterly wrecked at 9:40 o'clock to-night by a bomb explosion and M. Very was so badly injured that he died shortly after. Since Eavachol's arrest M. Very has fre quently been threatened with such a dis aster. The force of the explosion was terrific and widely felt, and an enormous crowd quickly gathered about the shattered build ing. The police, on entering, fonnd M. Very lying on the floor of the restaurant, in the midst of heaps of debris, groaning with fright and pain. One of his legs had been broken and he was sent to a hospital, where his leg was amputated and he died. A granddaughter of M. Very was seriously injured, and two ladies living in rooms located over the restaurant were badly shaken and bruised. Very's wife was not injured, but she has lost her senses owing to the shock she suffered a'nd is raving like a lunatic. At this hour (10:30 P. 31.) firemen are clearing away the ruins. The damage done is almost entirely confined to the building in which Very's . restaurant was located. A detachment of troops is keeping clear the roadway before the mined cafe. A scheme to Terrorize Jurymen. It is the general opinion that the explo sion was perpetrated mainly to terrorize the jurymen who will be on duty at Bavachol's trial. The police have a theory that the bomb was thrown into the basement of the building through a grating. A policeman who was on duty just outside the restaurant when the explosion occurred was thrown to the pavement by the shock. He states that he saw nothing suspicious. M. Loze, the Prefect of Police, M. Goron, Chief of the Municipal Police, and M. Bay nard, Secretary of the Ministry of the In terior, arrived on the scene soon after the explosion. A quantity of goods lying exposed in front of an adjoining shop were destroyed. Three persons have been arrested on sus picion of being implicated in the murderous affair. One p thembo.u(ed "Vive l'An "archie!" on "being'tafcen into custody. The news of the explosion quickly spread throughout the city, causing consterna tion, especially on the boulevards, where exaggerated reports of the affair were cur rent. Detachments of police hurriedly formed a cordon in the Boulevard Magenta, on which, at the corner ot Bue Lancry, Very's restaurant was located. The Bomb's Awful Force Apparent. The cafe is an utter wreck, and not a vestige of a window is visible in the entire structure. Tbe pavement in the vicinity of the place where the explosion occurred is completely strewn with shattered pieces of charred wood aud other portions of the ruined building, and with the debris ot furniture which was hurled from the cafe by the awful lorce of the explosion. The de struction is complete, and the place pre sents the most appalling appearance. A waiter named Sherot, who was in the cafe when the bomb exploded, escaped with only a slight bruise, but is suffering from tbe effects of the great shock which he sus tained. Several persons who were riding in a tram car which was passing the build ing when the explosion occurred were in jured by being struck by pieces of flying glass. Lots have been drawn by the persons summoned to act as jurors at the trial of Bavachol. One of the jurors has written to the Figaro complaining that the politi cal importance which has been given to the trial by charging the prisoner with being guilty of an explosion instead of a murder has endangered the lives of all the persons concerned in the case The explosion in M. Very's cafe has terrorized the jury se lected to try Bavachol, and the officials who are in any way connected with bis trial. Bavachol to Be Tried To-Day. To-morrow the reckless Anarchist Bav achol will be tried on the charge of having caused the explosion at the resi dence of Judge Benoit, No. 136 Boulevard Germain, who presided at the trial of the Anarchists at the Seine Assizes on April 28, 1891. and at the house corner of the Bue de Berlin, the residence ot M. Bulot, who con ducted the prosecution on that occasion. The Eclair to-day published a procla mation to the jurors in the case signed by Bavachol's friends, declaring that his acts of vengeance were justified by tbe unfair ness of Judge Benoit. Numerous Anarch ists have been arrested. Stringent precautions are being taken at tne -aiace tie justice to prevent any mani festation being made to-morrow by the Anarchists during the trial of Bavachol Few applications are being made for seats as tbe people are fearful of dynamite out rages being perpetrated in the court room, and deem it safer to remain away while the proceedings are going on. It has been de cided by the authorities that 'the trial will last only one day, even if it is found neces sary for the court to sit all night to finish up the case. ALL QUIET IN ROME. Reports of Anarchist Disturbances There Prove Untrue Preparations for the Slay Day Peaceful Country Meetings to Be Held Assisted by Officers. BOME, April 23. Beports put in circula tion to the eftect that disturbances had occurred in the city yesterday and were likely to be renewed to-day and that in con sequence of the gravity of the situation the authorities bad begun barricading the houses of Government officers and also the banks and the Austrian and other em bas sies here, have been found upon thorough in vestigation to be pure inventions. There has been no trouble here whatever, and none of the extreme precautions which it is alleged the authorities and private persons are tak ing to resist tbe imaginary mob are visible on the closest scrutiny. At a largely attended meeting of work ingnien held here it was decided that the morning of May day should be spent in pri vate gatherings and that in the afternoon meetings should be held in the open coun try where, according to the ideas of the leiders. there wonld be no provocation for t'je police interfering "with the assemblage. At the conclusion of the proposed country meetings, also in accordance with the peace ful designs of the leaders, those who took tsart in them will retnrn in small groups to their homes in the city in a quiet and order ly manner. So well arranged and so conducive to good order appear to be the plans laid out for the May day celebration, that the Min ister of the Interior has signified his ap proval of the 'mode adopted for observing this great labor festival. Even tbe Anarchists, the most violent of all those who intend to take part in the celebration, are in favor of spending the day in an orderly manner, and at a recent meeting at which all the matters connected with the occasion were thoroughly and ear nestly discussed, it was decided that it would be to their best interests not to hold public meetings on May day, and that the only manner in which they would show their sympathy with the movement would be by a general cessation of work on that day.

Brussels, April 25.. p o pres ent indications the 1st of Ma lonstra- tion in Mons will pass off as quietly as in previous years. About 5,000 workmen, headed by the labor leaders, will march through the streets of Mons and most proba bly hold a meeting either at the Bourse or in the market place. The police will he kept in reserve, however, prepared to inter vene if necessary, and the procession will be watched by two officers and a few men. The gendarmes will also be confined to bar racks, but nothing has yet been decided with respect to the troops and the civio guard. The first of May demonstration in Seraing is but little discussed among the workmen. The committee of the labor party has not made any arrangements, and the leagues and unions have not yet invited any expres sion of opinion on the subject from their members. The Liege labor party, how ever, has placarded red posters calling upon the men of Seraing to come to Liege on May 1. The authorities have not yet decided whether to prohibit any demonstration or not The Central "Workmen's Federation at a recent meeting at the Maisson du Peuple in La Louviere decided upon organizing a monster demonstration for May 1, in tavor of universal suffrage and an eight-hour day. All the workmen and miners of the district will be asked to attend and it is expected that from 10,000 to 15,000 will respond to the call. The main body will assemble at Jolimont early in the morning, and will march thence to Haine St. Paul where it will be joined by the local contin gent and by others from Haine St. Pierre, La Hestre Fazt, Marlanvelz, Carnieres and other communes. The demonstrators will then start for La Louviere, going by way of Baume, where they will be further reinforced from the surrounding towns and Tillages La Louviere will be entered in marching order, and the procession, after traversing the principal thoroughfares, will come to a halt on tbe Place des Martyrs, where a great open air meeting will be held in front of the Maisson da Peuple. A PREACHER'S ODD BREAK. Pastor Arney, of Saranac, Gives Up Hlg Profession to Train Fast Horses He Couldn't Stand Criticism on His Con duct, and so He Quit. Gbaxd Bafids, April 25. Special. Key. J. W. Arney, pastor of the Metho dist church at Saranac, shocked his congre gation yesterday, by announcing his retire ment from tbe pulpit. He will devote his entire attention to breeding and training his horses, and will indulge in horse trots and matinees to his heart's content without fear of the Methodist conference. Twice he has been on the carpet before the conference for his horsey inclination. In 1890 he was scored for officiating as master of ceremonies at a speeders' mati nee, and again last year he w'as rebuked. The fact that he conducted successful revi vals and that his collections were far above the average does not extenuate his offense, but he was told that if he persisted in culti vating horses be must retire. He owns six promising colts and gives occasional matinees to show their sneed and help the sale of his horf es. He will hold revivals in the winter, but they will not interfere with his horses. He gave a matinee last Saturday, and has advertised another for next Saturday. LETTING UP ON FEED WABDt Very Little Chanco for Farther Prosecution After His Release. New York, April 25. Special.

Tf5 THREE CENTS. TOM SEED'S BOOMLET Given an Impetus by Henry Wat terson's Remarks About HIS GREAT WIT AND AUDACITY. The Ex-Speaker's One Ambition Just Nott to Seat Harrison. BLAINE'S SHADOW IN HIS WAT, THOUGH SPECIAL TXLEGIMM TO TttZ DISPATCH.l Washington, April 25. '-Henry Wat terson's recent remark that 'Tom" Beed would make a strong Presidental candidate, being possessed of both wit and audacity, two qualities most admired by the Ameri can people, has given a new impetus to the Presidental boom of tbe ex-Speaker which has flourished in a fitful sort of way ever since he made a party hero of himself in the Fifty-first Congress. Mr. Eeed is, how ever, in no sense a candidate, although he wonld be quite willing to become one, if by that means he could aid in the defeat of Harrison. There is at present no hope so dear to the heart of the big Congressman from Maine as that of seeing the political ambition of the gentleman from Indiana extinguished forever. That hope burns brightly in Mr. Beed's breast at present, for he is one of the many strong Bepublican leaders in Washington who regard the problem of de feating Harrison's renomination as an easy one. For several months past Mr. Beeti has taken part in the more or less disjointed and irregular, but none the less earnest, conferences that have been held by Harri son's political opponents in the Bepublican party, and he has been one ot the most outspoken of them all in favor of almost any plan that will result in seudinir Harri son back to Indiana as a private citizen. Beed Never More in Earnest. Mr. Beed was dead in earnest when he told the Vermont managers that he would not appear at a convention which intended to indorse Harrison, and he was still dead in earnest when he made the rejection ot" Harrison the price of his participation in the Bbode Island campaign. Although not generally known, it is a lact that before go ing to Bhode Island, where he did such ef fective work for the Republicans, Mr. Beed received the assurance of Senator Aldrich that the delegates to be elected from Bhode Island to the Minneapolis convention should not be instructed to vote lor Harrison. This will be news to the President, and not pleasant news, either, for he has, in company with all other Republicans, re garded Senator Aldrich as one of hi3 staunchest friends and supporters. He will be badly disappointed, however, for Senator Aldrich will control that Bhode Island delegation absolutely, and he has already given his word that it shall be an anti-Harrison delegation. Not the Tear for Mr. Beed. Mr. Beed knows he cannot be the candidate this year, if for no other reason than that the shadow of James G. Blaine hovers oyer him not so darkly as he did a yearor two ago, perhaps, because Mr. Blaine has not the same hold on the party manage ment in Maine as he once hadbut still sufficiently strong to preclude all hope of a delegation in the interest of Mr. Beed as a Presidental candidate. But though his name will probably not be presented to the convention, the ex Speaker's influence will be-felt there, and it is said that not more than one of the four district delegates from the Pine Tree State will be Harrison men. One of these al ready chosen is an enthusiastic supporter of Blaine's nomination, but tbe President has been totally unable to secure the selection of friends of his,and it is generally thought that his failure is due to the opposition of Mr. Beed, who has had his band tightly on the machine in Maine during tbe last few months. In Washington the suggestion of Beed as a Presidental possibility meets with much favor, and especially in the House of Eep resentatives. He is strong aud popular, and ba3 many friends who think that a ticket composed of Beed and some strong Western soldier would be invincible. Private Opinion of the Ex-Speaker. It is said to be the private opinion of Mr. Beed, however, that no Bepublican ticket will be invincible this year, and he is in clined to think that the Bepublican, be he Harrison or some one else, who is made the standard-bearer of his party, does so with the prospect ot defeat before his eyes. This does not mean tnat tne ex-bpeaker would decline to allow his name to be used in case there should be a chance for him, because he is far too sensible not to know that there is no man alive, Bepublican or Democrat, who would not accept the nom ination for the Presidency in any year. Mr. Beed knows that his time has not yet ar rived, however, and he hopes this year only to accomplish the defeat of Harrison. That will satisty him almost as much as hisown nomination. He feels very confident of winning, although he admits that at present Harrison appears on the surface to have things all his own way. The Maine man is one of the numerous Republicans, however, who thinks the roseate hue of the Harrison boom is bound to fade before the 7th of June. Harrison's New Xork Strength. During his frequent trips to New Eng land, within the past few months, Mr. Beed lias had opportunities of conferring with Mr. Piatt and the other New York Repub licans. He is confident, as all other Bepub licans are who have talked with Mr. Piatt lately, that Harrison is not sure of getting more than one-fourth of the New York delegation. This i3 due, it is thought, not altogether to the fact that the party mana gers in New York are diserruntled, that Piatt is openly fighting Harri son, Miller lukewarm and His cock sulky, but that Chauncey 3L Depew is doing a little quiet fighting to secure the delegation for himself. The fact that Mr. Depew will do a little outside skirmishing at Minneapolis in 1802, as he did at Chicago, in 1888, has come to the ears of the Bepublicaa leaders in Washington in such a circumstantial way that they are bound to believe it aud to act accordingly. Mr. Beed does not know, as his party friends in Washington do not, whether Mr. Piatt will be in favor of Mr. Depew or not, and at present they are not particularly anxious to find out. They are now working with merely one object in view, and that is tbe defeat of Harrison. It is hard for some people to understand why there is such a bitter enmity between the President and the ex-Speaker of the House, and perhaps neither ot them could give a convincing ex planation of it. Blaine Not Mr. Beed's Mascot. It is thought by some that the presence of Blaine as a member of the administration is responsible for the rough treatment re ceived by Mr. Beed, and he himself thinks this is the primary cause of the President's animosity. However that may be, Mr. Beed knows that from the time Mr. Hamsun en tered the White House until this day all recommendations of his which aflected in any way his personal popularity have been ignored. The President appointed Fred Dow to be Collector ot Customs of Portland against Mr. Eeed's wish and protest, and pardoned Cashier Gould, President of the First National Bank of Portland, a defaulting ex-sunday school superintendent, in direct opposition-to the advice of Mr. Beed. Both of these acts were performed alter Speaker Beed had car ried through the House the famous torce bill, which was the pet measure of the Har rison administration. J5
