SEWS FROM THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS
ICOFTIUGIIT. 1SK. BY JJ. T. ASSOCIATED FKSS.
London, Aug. 19. Mr. Gladstone's se
lection of some minor members of the
Radical section for minor posts in the Gov
ernment, has not remedied the tactical
mistake made in the exclusion of Radicals'
representatives from the Cabinet. Thorough
Radicals further declare that there is not a
man among the whole ot the latest appoint
ments who is genuinely attached to pro
gressive opinions, Sidney Buxton, perhaps,
excepted.
The three new whips, Messrs. Canston,
McArthur and Ellis, though nominal Rad
icals, have never shown that sympathy with
democratic movements which is now rtcog
nired as the leading inspiration of the leit
wing of the Liberal party. The fact is
now universally recognized that Mr. Glad
stone has carefully avoided admitting to
office men who are in any wise identified
with Independent Radicalism. Pseudo
Radicals like Mr. Burt, the miners dele
gate, who is a submissive Gladstonite, and
Mr. Ellis, who is called a Radical because
he is strongly in lavor of church disestab
lishment, were admissible because they
have never made a covenant with the Pro
gressives, while those tainted with demo
cratic notions, men of the Labouchere
stamp, have been ignored.
Gladstone Meets Threatened Dangers.
The exclusion of Mr. Stansfeld is ex
plained by Gladstonia'n papers as due to his
expressed desire not to hold office, but Mr.
Stansfeld himself says it must have been
due to other causes. Mr. Stansfeld was
ready to accept office and seemed to expect
his former Cabinet post, but Mr. Gladstone
never communicated with him.
Mr. Gladstone's plans to meet some of the
dangers threatening an early overthrow of
the Government are already seen in the
formation of Cabinet committees. At to
day's Cabinet council, during a two hour's
sitting, devoted to alloting work and pre
paring measures embodying part of the
Newcastle programme, three committees in
addition to the Home Rule Committee were
formed. One committee is charged with
labor questions, another is to draft bills for
rural reform and local option and the third
is charged with a measure of the first im
portancereforming electoral registration.
With masterly promptitude the Grand Old
Man has already cut out work for his col
leagues that will make the coming session
fruitful.
Ko Interference With the Conference.
The Associated Press has high authority
to state that the new Government will not
interfere with the completed arrangements
for the International Monetary Conference.
Ko powers were vested in the delegates ap
pointed by the Conservative Government to
assent to anything that might be proposed
at the conference without prior consultation
with the Treasury. The instructions given
the delegates are exactly similar to those
given the British delegates to the Paris
Conference in 188L They are charged to
decline to discuss any proposals entailing
an alteration of the monetary system of
England, but they are authorized to con
sider proposals whereby India might join
an influential league of States for fixing the
ratio of silver. If such a league should be
formed, the directors of the Bankof England
would be empowered to act on the bank
charter act, permitting them to hold one
filth of the reserve in silver.
In official circles here the question
whether these instructions are likely to lead
to any such practical result as will induce
the United States Government to proceed
with the conference. Sir "William Vernon
Harcourt, the new Chancellor of the Ex
chequer,does not interest himself in the mat
ter. 'and it the "Washington authorities want
to enlarge the basis open to the British dele
gates for discussion, they ought to try to in
fluence Mr. Gladstone, who has an open
mind on the subject, somewhat modified by
views formed since 1881.
Schemes for the Defense of the Empirr.
The report of the committee of the Iir
penal Federation League, proposing a
scheme tor the defense of the United King
dom and the British colonies, will be sub
mitted to the council of the league in No
vember. After approval of the scheme,
Mr. Gladstone will De asked to summon a
conference ot colonial statesmen to discuss
the scheme with representatives of the Im
perial Government
The wealth of Baron Houghton, the new
"Viceroy of Ireland, is partly derived from
the American land investments of his
father, who held 00,000 acres in the United
States. The wealthy and fatherly Lord
Crewe donates Baron Houghton 10,000
yearly during his tenure of office.
It i's expected that Mrs. Maybrick will
soon be released from prison. It is under
stood that both Sir Charles Russell, the
new Attorney General, and Mr. Asquith,
the Home Secretary, are In favor of her
release.
TAFFY JOE FBANCIS JOSEPH
Administered by Ilia Imperial Neighbor,
the Kaiser, at a Hanqaet.
Berlin-, Aug. 19. After the review 6f
the Garde du Corps yesterday at the Tem
plehot, -a banquet was given by Emperor
"William at the new palace. In speaking to
a toast, His Majesty declared that he de
rived great pleasure from the fact that the
date, August 18, the day when the Garde du
Corps bad so honorably fulfilled their duty
at the battle of Gravelotte in the Franco
Prussian war, coincided with the birthday
of Emperor Francis Joseph, ot Austria,
who presented a bright example to soldiers
of a ruler who was imbued with a most
noble sense of devotion to duty. The Em
peror added: "The alliance between himself
and myself is the surest guarantee of peace."
In conclusion, Emperor William called for
three cheers fur Ins Austrian ally, and the
guests responded heartily.
According to Hie National Zeitung, the
Emperor at yesterday's banquet denied that
the Government intended to adopt the pro
posal for two year's military service in
stead of three years, as at present. The
National Ztilung declares that His Majesty
said be would rather have a smaller army
with longer service.

will take part in thi Columbus fetes.
A New Slninbllnsr Block for Caprlvk
Beblix, Aug. 39. As Chancellor von
Capri v is known to be an advocate of a two
years' military service, Emperor "William's
declaration against a reduction of the term
of service will, it is believed, force the
Chancellor to resign.
EUROPE'S HOT WAVE.
The Highest Temperature Ever Known In
Vienna, bat Even Worse In Bnda-Festh
Military Maneuvers Stopped Berlin
Suffering A Little Cooler In Paris.
Vienna, Aug. 1& This city is swelter
ing beneath a heat that is more intense than
has ever prevailed here within the memory
of the Jiving. It is not believed that such
tropical warmth has ever before been ex
perienced in Austria. To-day the mercury
has reached 110 in the shade. The garri
son maneuvers have been stopped and the
whole city lies idle and suffering. Several
persons have died from sunstroke to-day.
But in Buda-Pesth with the murcury at
110 the weather would be regarded as com
paratively endurable. There the mercury
touched 116 in the shade to-day, and were
it not for the fact that the air is dry life
would be scarcely endurable.
The heat throughout Germany continues
intense. The thermometer in Berlin regis
tered 90 in the shade to-day. Owing to
the fear that the workmen in the Spandau
gun factory would be prostrated by the
heat, operations were suspended there to
day. Instruction in the municipal schools
was suspended this afternoon because of the
hot weather. This aotion was taken in con
sequence of a request from the Emperor.
To-night the heat is lessening in Paris
and the people are looking forward to more
endurable weather to-morrow. The change
in the temperature has already brought
about a marked change in the appearance of
the people, and this evening the boulevards
are crowded with people comparing their
experiences during the hot period.
CH0LEKA BREEDS AHABCHY.
Ferslans Frantic Against Foreigners Who
They Believe Brought the Plague.
Constantinople, Aug. 19. Anarchy
reigns in many towns of Persia owing
to the cholera. The disease is raging
with fearful virulence. At Tabriz, capital
of the Province ot Azerbaijan, the Armen
ian and European colonies-are panic-stricken
and bave left for the hills. This colony is
a great center for commerce with India and
Central Asia, and the ignorant people are
frantic against foreigners from those re
gions whom they suspect of having brought
the pestilence.
The authorities have added to the popu
lar excitement by adopting measures repug
nant to the public feeling, such as ordering
the removal of cholera patients in carts of
most squalid description resembling pack
age cases hoisted on wheeled platforms, and
ot so sinister an aspect that they were
said by the crowd to be fit for
nothing but dogs. The passage ot these
carts through the streets was the signal of
all sorts of vituperation on the part of the
populace, who even stoned the drivers. In
the pillaging of shops the mob displayed
the greatest animosity against the Russian
merchants, who have been regarded with
favor by the townspeople, and who at pres
ent are objects of special aversion.
Light Ships Across the Atlantic
Pabis, Aug. 19. The French Trans
Atlantic Company takes up again the pro
ject relative to ocean lights which was
dropped a few years ago. The proposal is
that light ships connected by telegraph
cables be stationed at intervals of 200 miles
across the Atlantic.
ANOTHER SPECK OF WAR.
Tho State Department Demands Indemnity
and Redress From Asia An American
Missionary's House Burned nod Ills Life
and Family In Danger.
"WASirraGTOi.-, Aug. 19. The Secretary
of State to-day received a cablegram from
the United States Charge d' Affairs at Con
stantinople, informing him that the house
of Dr. Bartlett, an American missionary at
Bordour, Province of Konia, Asia Minor,
hsdbeen burned, and that the lives of the
missionaries are in danger. He believes that
if prompt action is not taten the mission
ary cause and'the lives of the missionaries
will be in serious danger in other places.
The building ot Dr. Bartlett's residence
was originally stopped by the local authori
ties. On application being made for per
mission to complete the same it was refused,
unless Dr. Bartlett would furnish a bond or
guarantee to neither hold religious worship
nor instruct children on the premises. The
withholding of the permit was claimed to
be under orders from Constantinople. The
Legation applied to the Sublime Porte for
such permission, claiming that treaty rights
of Americans extended not only to the pur
chase ot land, but to the enjoyment ot the
same. The permit was finally granted by
the Sultan, and it appears that immediately
after the receipt of this permit by the local
authorities the house was burned.
Secretary Poster promptly cabled the
Charge to make urgent demand for effective
protection, indemnity, punishment of the
guilty parties and reprimand of the author
ities it found remiss. The United States
cruisers Xewark and Bennington will be
ordered to the vicinity ot the outrage to
support this demand.
EDN EXPECTED TO-DAY
When McKeesuort Police Undertake to Ar
rest Many Street Car People.
McKeespobt, Aug. 19. Special The
street railway war here is assuming a se
rious outlook, and it is expected that by ta
rn orrow morning about 100 persons will be
placed under arrest, if the city carries out
present intentions. This morning the Mc
Keesport and Reynoldton Company, fail
ing to get a permit from the City Cleric, be
gan tearing up Market street in direct vio
lation of the city ordinance. Mayor Til
brook at once ordered the work stopped, al
though no arrests were made.
The president of the company, with sev
eral other members, went to Pittsburg and
consulted with their attorneys. Again this
afternoon the superintendent was notified
and the second time started a force of men
tearing up the street. The Mavor and
Council will attempt to stop the work in
the morning, and to do this a great many
arrests will follow, when an exciting time
is expected. The street car people claim to
be in -the right. They claim the reason
Councils wish to block their road is that
they favor the new company.

Fatal Co'Ilslon Between Two Brother
V hile Out on Their Bicycles.
Philadelphia, Aug. 19. Special
The collision which occurredbetween Charles
and Albert Riesan, brothers, Wednes
day evening, while riding bicycles, has re
sulted in the death of the former at the
Samaritan Hospital. The accident occurred
under very distressing circumstances.
While the brothers were ont for a spin on
the asphaltum pavement on North Broad
street Charles was racing down the latter
thoroughfare at a high rate of speed, when
Albert, who came over Tioga street, col
lided with him.
Neither knew who xhe other was, and the
machines crushed together with such force
that both brothers were thrown to the pave
ment and rendered unconscious. In this
condition thejr were picked up and carried
to the Samaritan Hospital, where an ex
amination showed that Charles had sus
tained a fracture on the base of the skull,
while Albert was injured on the right side
ot the head. The shock and the injuries
were so severe that Charles did not recover
consciousness and died last night Charles
was aged 20 years, and was considered one
of the fleetest wheelmen in the northern
part of the city.

LIZZIE HATED HER FATHER.
A New Story Barring on the Fall Ztlver
Tragedy Mr. Borden Complained That
His Daughter "Wouldn't Est at the Same
Table With Him.
NewBedfobd, Mass., Aug. 19. This
afternoon the Standard prints the following
story, which, it states, is worthy of more
than usual credence, as it com es from Cap
tain Orrirk Smalley, Chairman of the Over
seers of the Poor. Captain Smalley was en
joying his vacation at Craigville when the
Borden murders were committed, and the
next day when discussing the news from
Fall River he made a remark that it was im
possible for the daughter to have carried out
such a horrible deed.
"There were those on the piazza," said
Captain Smalley, "who did not agree with
me." A stranger to whom the Captain was
talking was the one who related a conversa
tion with Andrew J. Borden, which has
since opened the eyes ot those who have
heard it. This gentleman, who is George
W. Hathaway, a traveling agent, said that
not long since, while be was out on one of
Mr. Borden's farms, the old gentleman, with
whom he was acquainted, came out very
much disturbed. Upon being questioned he
remarked that he did not take much com
fort at home with Lizzie; that she would
not eat at the same table with him, and that
only that morning, when he accidentally
went into the room where she was eating,
she got ud from the table and left the room.
"Hathaway also said that Mr. Borden
told him this with tears in his eyes, and
further remarked that when he left the
house Lizzie told him she hoped he would
come home a corpse, and that probably he
would before long."
Captain Smalley, in relating this, said he
was thunderstruck, and not being acquainted
with Hathaway, who told the story, he made
inquiries concerning mm. xne (Japtaln
learned that he was a trustworthy person
living in Fall River. He is prominently
connected with one of the Fall River
churches.
A HARMLESS CRANK.
He Supports a Request for a Ticket With
Poetry and Bible. Quotations.
A very eccentric character applied at the
Department ot Charities yesterday for as
sistance. A man walked into the chief office
and sat down on a chair opposite Examiner
Hoffman, and said, "I want a ticket to Ta
coma, Wash."
Mr. Hoffman looked him over. He was a
large, healthy man, aud he asked him what
claim he had for a ticket? The fellow then
started on a lengthy harangue, incoherent
in places and at times. It was impossible
to ' lollow him, so rapidly did he talk.
In his speech, which was composed
of verses from the Bible, quota
tions from popular poets, and everything
in general, he told 'Examiner Hoffman that
his name was Hiram Fresher, and he lived
at Shelton, Mason county, Wash.,
where he had a claim. He said that the
Sheriff of the county had nut him and his
family off his claim, and that he had tried
in vain to get redress in the courts and
could not Finally he decided to go to
Washington and see the land commissioners.
His errand proved fruitless, and he wa3 now
trying to get back home..
At tl.e conclusion of His story he handed
Mr. Hoffrasn a pamphlet on which was
written the pathetic story of the
injustice that had been done him,
and in which verses from the Bible
and quotations from popular authors were
freely distributed, and showed how God
would wreak His vengeance on all who
were his enemies and amply repay all who
held out a helping hand to Him. The cir
cular wound up by calling on every man in
the world who wanted to see justice done to
help him.
Mr. Hoffman told him that he could not
possibly give him a ticket, and he left He
started down Fourth avenue and distributed
his circulars to everv person he met He
was evidently insane, but Mr. Hoffman did
not think it necessary to have him arrested,
as he was harmless.
FOX WAS HELD.
The Order to Release Him Was Incoherent
and Uncertain.
James Fox, colored, was arrested last
night on a telegram from Connellsville,
stating that Fox was wanted there, bnt did
not give any charge. Later in the night a
telegram was received at police head
quarters, dated at Connellsville and signed
by James Caldwell. Chief of Police, which
read as follows:
Release Fox for further investigation on
case of poison pteferred by his wire.
This telegram was a sort of an enigma to
the police, and thinking that there was
some telegrapher's mistake, the man was
not released, but will be held until the
Connellsville authorities are further heard

GLADSTONE PLEASED
To
Learn That He Has So Many
Sympathizers in America.
HE HAD BEEN TOLD OTHERWISE.
Major Eyrne Undeceives Him and Is
Thanked for So Doing.
THE GRAND OLD HAN FEELS HIS AGE
New Yobk, Aug. 19. Major John
Byrne, who has just returned from Europe
after a few weeks' absence, had a long talk
with Gladstone while in London. "I did
not go as a peace commissioner," said
Major Byrne, "nor with a purpose of in
any way intruding myself into Britisli pol
itics. I was on private business, but beingJ
iu xjouuun on toe reassemouog oi parlia
ment I, of course, had the opportunity of
meeting many public men of the Liberal
and Irish parties. I heard the debate in
Parliament on the Tuesday preceding the
vote ot want of confidence. I was intro
duced to Mr. Gladstone by Mr. Morley.
Mr. Gladstone expressed a special interest
in knowing the true condition of public
sentiment in America on the cause to
which he had dedicated his remaining life
home rule for Ireland.
"It had been claimed by certain parties
that a complete revulsion of public senti
ment had taken place in America which
worked an indifference to Ireland's fate and
a hostility to Gladstone and his policy. As
a leading American had put it, 'Nine
tenths ot the Irish in America are anti
Gladstone and pronounced Parnellities. '
No Foundation for Such a Claim.
"I was glad to be able to assure Mr.
Gladstone that there was no fonndation for
such claim, that the contrary was the fact,
and that all men in America, of any value
or worth as American citizens or Irish
sympathizers, where unquestionably with
him and the majority of the people of Ire
land; that no man or party in America
could get a respectable hearing on any
issue adverse to home rule or Gladstone s
policy in promoting it
"Mr. Gladstone seemed much gratified,
and said he had placed great reliance upon
tneirienasoi UDeny in .America, lie val
ued very highly the sympathy and support
of Americans, including those of Irish
blood, and it would grieve him deeDlv and
sorely disappoint him to lose that sympathy
and support which had always been a
source ot great encouragement and comfort
to him, and that he could not understand
the change that it was claimed had taken
filace. He was much gratified to learn that
t was not true.
"Mr. Gladstone said he felt snre that all
true friends of Ireland would feel fully sat
isfied with his course toward Ireland, and
would be glad if I would say to the friends
of the cause in America that no doubt a
bitter fight was ahead, bnt that if all re
mained true there was no question as to the
successful result He asked me to thank
America cordially for the aid given to Ire
land in the late election.
Impressed With Gladstone's Sincerity.
"I was deeply impressed with Mr. Glad
stone's sincerity, and came from the confer
ence firmly convinced of his entire good
faith and firm resolve to make Irish self
government the work of his life. I heard
Mr. Gladstone's speech in reply to the
Queen's speech, delivered subsequent to my
conference with him, and found confirma
tion of all he had said to me.
"If Irishmen will prove as true to Ireland
as I am satisfied Mr. Gladstone will, all
will be well, but the fate of the Irish meas
ure is in Irish hands. Mr. Gladstone
seemed well and strong, but as he himself
laughingly said, he 'is an old man, with not
the assurance of years of labor which a
younger man might hope for,' and that
should be a reason why the friends of Ire
land should see to it that he gets the fullest
support now."
CAUGHT AT HIS GAME.
An Allegheny Woman Xarns That Her
Husband Is Seeking a Divorce in Chi
cago She Denies Any Charges He May
Have to Bring Against Her.
Chicago, Aug. 19. Special. The Chief
of Police here to-day received a long letter
from Mrs. Lizzie Mehaffey, of CO Craig
street, Allegheny, stating that through
friends she had heard that her husband,
Thomas Mehaffey, had applied for a divorce
in Chicago.
Mrs. Mehaffey, according to her letter,
seems to be greatly worried over the affair
and declares that her husband has no
grounds on which he conld apply for legal
separation. She declares that any. and all
charges that her husband would bring
against her are false. Besides she claims
that Mr. Mehaffey some time ago fled to
this city with another woman, and now he
simply desires a divorce so that he can
marry the woman with whom he eloped.
The letter implores the Chief to arrest Mr.
Mehaffey as soon as possible.
Upon looking up the files in the Circuit
Court it was learned that Thomas Mehaffey
on May 15, 1892, had filed a bill for divorce.
In the bill he alleges that he was married
in Pittsburg and lived there 12 years. He
declares that his wife since the marriage
has shown a decided fondness for one Jerry
Heasley, and finally left the husband to go
with him.
Ou April 1, 1891, he alleges, he learned
that Heasley was his wife's legal husband,
she having married that individual several
years prior to the time he led her to the
altar. Mr. Mehaffey's attorney refused to
talk about the matter or give his client's
address.

A. LIVELY WIND-UP.
Closing Session of the Grand Lodge of the
Knights or Pythias Warm Contest for
Office Sunbury Decided Upon at the
Next Meeting Place.
The final day's session of the Knights of
Pythias proved to be the most interesting
of the whole convention. After the ap
proval of the Committee on Appeals and
the Grand Chancellor's report the entire
forenoon session was devoted to the discus
sion of the instructions which were to be
given to the Supreme Representatives,
this being left unfinished at the
time of adjournment Thursday night.
An old time snbject was revived propos
ing an amendment to the Supreme Lodge
constitution providing for the clothing of
the Supreme Chancellor with authority to
suspend lodges. The vote was decidedly in
the negative. W. H. Wilbur, the First
Supreme Chancellor of the order, gave an
interesting and complete history of the so-
Lciety from its inception up to the present
day.
At the afternoon session a lawyer's bill
for services caused a decidedly warm debate.
Nominations of officers for the ensuing year
were made. The nomination for Grand
Inner Guard was hotly competed, there be
ing 21 candidates, including William
Sellers and Joseph G. Jackson, of Pitts
burg. When the request was made
for the Secretary to read the
names of the nominees, some brother sug
gested the reading of the entire roll of the
Grand Lodge. Nearly all of the Past
Grand Chancellors were nominated for the
Supreme Representatives to be elected.
William Hart, of Philadelphia, was nomi
nated Grand Trustee with no opposition.
The nominations are considered during the
year and are then voted upon by Past Chan
cellors in subordinate lodges the last meet
ing night in June and the resnlt certified to
the Committe on Elections, who report to
the Grand Lodge.
Never before has the meeting place been
so hotly contested for. Some 20 cities in
the central part oi the State were voted
upon in succession. Gettysburg was first
chosen on a vote of 163 to 165. bnt the se
lection was reconsidered and Sunburv was
then selected on a vote of 180 to 100. "York
was very near the winner. After the adop
tion of the Supreme Trustees' report and
complimentary votes to the reception com
mittee, Mayor Gourley and Pittsburg citi
zens generally, the Grand Lodge adjourned.
Grand Master of the Exchequer, had a
busy time yesterday. He established him
self in the ,manairer's offices of the Opera
House with (7,600 to par the mileage of
the representatives. As this is disbursed
in sums ranging from 75 cents to 20 it was
no easy task; Besides this he devoted the
whole evening at the Seventh Avenue
Hotel in paying off other small bills. A
great many representatives left for home
last night,' all declaring that Pittsburg
