A Plea for Party to Be Forgotten. It seems to us to be quite impossible that the liberty and Juitlce-loving people of this country should longer cast their ballots for the corporation and money changers. It would seem Impossible that they should re fuse to make common cause with the lair mlnded majority ol the people of the South, who have risen up to demand Justice and rood government in their respective States. Ana it further seems quite Impossible that the producers and laboring people or the United States shall deliberately go to the polls in Novembo-- and cast their votos In harmony with the cm porations and money power who have sj somatically and cruelly robbed them for so mmy jears, vote In harmony with their despoilors who made war against even their right to organize lor the piotect'ou of themselves and families. With the aggression, or capital on the one hand and the overthrow by fraud of Iiee elections on tl.e other, how Is it possible lor our Civilization to last? The new party has its face turned to the glorious .uture, its sublime mission Is to usher in an era of fra ternity and Justice among men. In the presence or such an opportunity to emanci pate our country irom mlTulo of every kind, let part)- lines be forgotten, and lot the geneious flame of a common patriotism nerve every heart and move every soul.

An Asso ciated Press reporter had Ihe following con versation with Governor Flower to-night: "Have you taken any action regardinc the removal of Labor Commissioner Peck, Governor?" "No, sir; I am not entirely tamiliar yet with the facts in the case." "Have you the resignation of Mr. Peck in your hands?" Tes, 1 have had Mr. Peck's resignation in mv hands since last winter, but have never considered it. If Mr. Peck has com mitted a misdemeanor in destroying public documents he has saved me the necessity of accepting his resignation." Regarding the internal machine sent to him at the Windsor Hotel, in New York City, the Governor said: "Last "Wednesday night I received a letter telling me I was to receive a package, which was not to be opened br me until it had been soaked in water. The writer said: 'Do not think I am a crank. Do as I say, and you will not regret it the rest of your lite. " Alter reading the letter the police were notified by instructions from the Governor, and when" the box arrived the detectives took charge of it The Governor said he had not seen the box at all. It was an infernal machine, though, and had it not been snaked in waterv would have un doubtedly caused great damage and loss of life. PECK GETS A RESPITE. Allowed to Give Ball Until the Civil Case Is Decided. At,BAXT, U. Y., Sept 17. Labor Com missioner Peck and his stenographer, Elbert Rodgere appeared before Polioe Justice Gutman, this morning, and each one, after pleading not guilty, was held in $1,000 bail, which was furnished, and the case was adjourned until 10 A. M., September 29. When the defendants were arraigned ad journment was asked for by counsel on two grounds: First, because he had not the time to prepare a case for his client, and second, from the (act that the civil case now before Judge Fursman will practically decide whether or not the destruction of such papers would be a felony. Mr. Chase opposed the adjournment, but Judge Gut man decided it was in order on the latter grounds, for if that case was decided in lavor of Mr. Peck there nould be no neces sity of continuing further with the pro ceedings.

Young Mr. Charles Bandall Garrison, of the Commo dore Garrison family ot St Louis, and young Mr. William Snyder, a son of Eev. John Snyder, ot the Unitarian Church of the Messiah of this city, both swell bank clerks and prominent in the highest society cir cles, were the principals. The fight took place in a livery stable, behind closed doors. Young Snyder smarting under indignities challenged young Garrison. It was agreed that the fight should be to a finish with five-ounce gloves, Marquis of Queensberry rule;, with four-minute rounds and one ruiuute rests between. Invitations were issued to 35 members of the Garrison Snyder "coterie" and all accepted. Conse quently the gathering was a brilliant one. The first two rounds were about equal in points of advantage to the swell pugilists. In the third round Snyder knocked Garri son down by a terrific blow in the face. The fourth round saw Garrison come to the front a favorite for the first time in the fight He scored a knock-down on Snvder.

THE HAMBURG VERT SORE. She Threatens to Boycott Towns That bhunned Her Citizens DURING THE BIG CH0LKRA SCARE. A New tanitarjr System for the Whols im pire Is to Be Adopted, DEMOCRACY'S PROGRESS IX PRUSSIA ICOPTRIOHT. 1892. BT !. T. ABSOCtATED PaEFS.J BEULijr.Sept. 17. The resideuts of Ham burg leel very sore over the lack of sym pathy and the abundance of hostile feeling, with which they have been treated by most ot the German authorities, the press and the people during their present troubles. The leading Hamburg papers, the Borun Katie, the Hamburger Zeitung and others, go so far as to advocate a commercial boycott of the towns and watering places which have refused asylum to residents who have fled from Hamburg during the epidemic Mauy of the great Hamburg hotels, which were doing a large business prior to the breaking out of the plague, are now closed. Yesterday in all the hotels there were lists of only 50 guests. These were chiefly En glish and American tiavelers. This is an index of the collapse of business. Com mercial agents, instead of tiansacting their business through Hamburg as they did be lore the epidemic, now deal through Prenien or Stettin. The current of trade is thus diverted, and it will be long before it re sumes its former course. Reforming the Prussian Electorate. The Prnssian Diet will meet during the second week in November. It will have an important measure to consider. This is the question of reforming the electoral sys tem. The new system of taxation has im pelled the proposed system. Until now the Prussian electors have voted in three grades, partly regulated ac cording to the taxation paid. This plan, which is complicated, abnormal and unfair, dates from tlte period of the Conservative reaction against popular principles, and is in direct conflict with the universal suf frage accorded the Germ an electorate w hen the Empire was created, bo the .Prussian system, which was designated to give aris tocrats supremacy, must be modified. The bill will not propose all that the Freisinnige party desires. It still retains the plan of grouping the electors in classes according to taxation, but low ers the quali fications to vote. The Freisinnige party will raise a lively contest over what they claim is an insufficient reform. Judging from the language of the Catholic press the Conservatives and Centerists will com bine to support the Government The bill is thus sure to pass. Germany to Have a Sanitary System. Among the first bills to be introduced in the Keischstag will be one giving the Im perial Health Office control of the sanitary regulations of the whole of Germany. (The different laws now existing iu each of the federated States makes joint action im possible. The epidemic of cholera has shown the necessity for a central authority controlling the sanitation of tiie Einnire. The Richstag will adopt the bill without much debate. It will be otherwise with the bill propos ing an increase in the taxes on beer and to bacco. The Bavarian Government, over ruled in the Bundesrath on the question of the taxation of beer, continues to protest against the proposal as a violation of the rights accorded to Bavaria under the Ver-, sailles treaty at the founding of the Empire The Empero'r has asked Herr Miquel, Min ister of Finance, to prepare a scheme of taxation that will meet the financial neces sities without touching beer. The negotiations for a commercial entente with Russia have resulted in a definite project, which, was presented to the Finance Ministry at St Petersburg Thursday. Ger many offers to reduce the tariff ou cereals, alcohols, hides, petroleums and other oils in exchange for lower Russian duties on cloth, iron, coal and all kinds of machinery.

A MIDNIGHT BAID Id IRELAND Furnishes Redmond With a Gronnd of Complaint to Secretary Morley. London, Sept 17. William H. Eed mond, the Parnellite who represents East Clsire in the House of Commons, has writ ten a letter in reference to a midnight ex pedition ot police and bailiffs to seize cattle belonging to tenants on the Bodykee estate in Clare. Mr. Hedmond de scribes himself as an anxious but peaceful writer, but says he must point out to Mr. Morley that sending armed police at night to hunt cattle of poor people who under stress of" circumstances are unable to meet full demands of their landlord, is likely to cause extreme irritation and ex citement He concludes by declaring that unless the Government stops these midnight raids the people will be driven wild.

They advertised in the best newspapers and the responses came in hundreds.

THE ENTIRE IS"LAND OF SICILY OVER RUN WITH THEM. A United States Consul Recalled for Re porting: the Truth to His Government Horrible Barbarity Practiced Upon All Ages and Conditions of People. London, Sept. 17. A British Consul at Palermo, in his report to the foreign office, gives startling details regarding brigand age. The whole island of Sicily, he says, is infested with bands of robbers, who cap ture large landed proprietors and rich mer chants and hide them in caves in the mount ains until they are ransomed. Farmers are plundered of horses and cattle, while peas ants who are suspected of being informers are persecuted, tortured pr murdered, out right Great land owners living within four hours ot Palermo are afraid to remain on their estates unless they are surrounded by private mounted guards. The band led by Samauw is the most ter rible of all the numerous gangs on the isl and. Their immunity from punishment is due entirely to the snpineness of the Gov ernment This bund has committed many murders characterized by the greatest cruelty. Even children have not escaped them." TheV have beheaded little boys and girls, cut their bodies in halves and then thrown the mutilated remains about the country for dogs and hogs to eat Many land owners who have incurred the enmity of the briganils have been treacherously as sassinated, while others who have fallen into their hands have been condemned to death by slow torture. The difficulty in trying to suppress these outrages is due to the fact that a large num ber ot the people provide the brigands with supplies at high prices and are, therefore, unwilling to give any information that would lead to their capture. In other cases, where the peasants might give information, they are terrified by threats of vengeance. Some time ago the American Consul at Palermo made a report similar to the above tn the State Department at Washington. When it became known that an American Consul had made the report, the Italian Government indignantly denied his state ments and privately demanded of the United States Government his recall This demand was complied with. No one ac quainted with the facts has the slightest doubt that the report of the American of ficial was correct in every particular. A SENSELESS PANIC. The Rnn on the Blrkbeck Bank Entirely Without Cause Somo Foolish Acts of the Depositors How a Month's Interest Was Lost fBT CABLE TO THIC DISr-ATCH.l London, Sept 17. London has had a panic this week, just as senseless though not as contemptible as that which prompted the Fire Island inhumanities. The run on the Birkbeck Bank was one of the most extraordinary spectacles that the history of finance can furnish. The institution was absolutely sound. It held about 30,000,000 belonging to 60,000 depositors, and it carried a large surplus. Its investments were not in real estate, but in the best high-class securities. So welt placed were its funds that the bank could have liquidated in a week's time, pai'l every obligation and retained a good balance. There was not even a single definite rumor attacking its credit afloat, but three or four building society banks had stopped payment .within a day or two, and a few score of the Birk beck's depositors thought it would be a mark oi prudence to put their money in a stocking instead of in the Birkbeck vaults. That was enough. The next day there was a mad riot outside the bank's doors. Absolute proof of security had not the slightest effect, and for two days the excite ment continued. Then it subsided almost as suddenly as it began, after about 8,000, 000 had been drawn. The affair was full of absurdities. One man struggled for ten hours to get into the bank and. draw 18 shillings. There were dozens like him. An eld woman had no sooner drawn her savings than she was in despair to know what to do with her money. The cashier suggested that she put it in her shoe. She tried but failed. The end of it was that the obliging clerk accomplished the feat for her and she went off in triumph. A fussy little tat man from Suffolk traveled to Lon don crushed with the crowd and drew out 2,300, which he immediately paid in again. He nas no bunco steerer, but he declared he did this to show bis confidence. It cost him one month's interest. It must be said, however, that the gen eral financial situation in London is by no means satisfactory. Scarcely a day passed this week without the announcement of the suspension ot some semi-public institution. The position of all speculative concerns, it is not too much to say, is precarious. Scores of them are closing their doors, and their places will not be filled until confi dence has been fully restored. A Labor Investigation Afoot BT CABLE TO TUG DISFATCH.l London, Sept 17.

All the Machinery for the Now Cruiser Cin cinnati Is Destroyed. New York, Sept 17. A fire occurred at the Brooklyn Navy "Sard about 3 o'clock this morning which destroyed a new set of engines for the cruiser Cincinnati, valued at ?300,000, and destroyed property worth at least $100,000 additional. The fire broke out in a frame extension and got time to spread by the failure ot the navy yard fire apparatus. By the time the city department arrived the flames had spread to the main building, where the Cincinnati engines were. The efforts to save the machinery were futile. Inefficient police Service in the yard is said to be partly responsible for the spread of the flames before discovery. There was but one roundsman on duty. THE VETERANS AT WASHINGTON.

Governor Flower, acomu.panied by his private secretary, Colonel Timothy S. Williams, called on Chairman Hurrity at National Democratic headquarters, at noon to-day. The Governor's visit was the more welcome when he pulled from his waistcoat pocket a check tor his share of the campaign ex penses. After the Governor and Mr. Harritv had consulted for half an honr, Mr. Harrity proceeded on his way to Pennsyl vania, and the Governor gave his opinion of the situation. He said: "The elections in Vermont and Maine have given me much encouragement They show a remarkable apathy among Repub licans toward the campaign. If such apathy is prevalent throughout the country as it seems to have been in these two States, there will be no doubt of Democratic suc cess. New York will give Cleveland 50,000 majority. I have been in pretty much all sections of the State in the last six weeks, and I find considerable lukewarmncss among Republicans. In the strong Repub lican counties this is particularly manifest It looks as though the Democratic victories of 1890 and 1691 would be repeated Ihis vear." A Rainbow In the Dark Clouds. The Governor's oheck was a rainbow in the dun-colored clouds which have over shadowed the finances of the committee tor several weeks. Outside ot the money con tributed by ex-Mayor Grace and his friends most of the funds that have come in have been the result principally of Mr. Whit ney's personal efforts.

There is a probability that Mr. Cleveland will come to town on Thurs day and have another reception day at the Victoria Hotel. The Democratic managers do not desire to hurry the ex-President, but they are anxious to have his letter of ac ceptance got out at the earliest possible m meat. Mr. Harrity and hie friends would have been delighted to send the doc ument out on the last visit of Mr. Cleve land. It was planned that it should be printed immediately after the letters of President Harrison and Mr. Blaine. Mr. Whitney was not particularly dis turbed at the President's letter, "but he thought Mr. Blaine's letter should be answered immediately.

Tom Carter and hii brethren of the Repnblican camp were quiet as mice all day, but that was no indication that they were not at work. They have hired a branch headquarters in an out-of-the-way street downtown, and there campaign documents by the cartload are being sent out Here, also, conferences are held with the heads of labor organizations, Irish Americans, the colored voters, the Ger mans and others. Mr. Carter sincerely believes that Ala bama, South Carolina and the Virginias are to flop over to the Republicans in Novem ber. The Republicans in these States are fusing with the People's party on the elec toral ticket The understanding is that the Republicans will not run State tickets but in return for help on the electoral ticket will support the People's party State tickets.

SEHATOB HILL STILL SOBB. Carlisle Says Cleveland Is Anxious Abont the Boss' Attitude. Washington, Sept 17. Special "Seator Hill feels sore," said Senator Car lisle to-day. "I have been thinking right along that Cleveland was going to win, and I still think so; but, as I said, Mr. Hill is very sore. Tammany is all right I was in New York recently, and had a long talk with the Tammany leaders, and they told me they were going to give Mr. Cleveland the biggest kind ot a majority, and I be lieve them." "Suppose Hill is placated?" "Even so, there are men behind him who will not be p'lacated; men like Peck, who will not help Cleveland, but who would like to see him defeated. At least, there is a sentiment to that effect I saw Mr. Cleve land recently at Gray Gables, and he ii afraid of those men. Mr. Hill can do great deal if he wants to do so, but they say it will be impossible for him to bring sucn men as Peck to vote tor Mr. Cleveland, notwithstanding the fact that they are his ("Hill's) personal friends. They do not like Mr. Cleveland. On the contrary, they dislike him very much, and there are among them men who will do anything they can to defeat' him."

Mcorhead First In the Doubles. 1 THE END OF A SUCCESSFUL T0TJRNET Miss Laura Potter, of Wilkinsburg, yes terday afternoon demonstrated her ability to defeat all comers at ladies' singles. It was a close contest between her and Miss Nan Chambers, and as exciting a game of tennis as has been played here this year. There was a large crowd present, the ma jority of them friends of Miss Chambers, who Is a member of the Pittsburg club, but they were generous with their applause toward each, and when Miss Potter placed one ball after another out of Miss Cham bers' reach they acoorded her the" approba tion she merited. It was evident from the start that it would be no walkover for either of the players, but when in the first set Miss Potter took six out of the ten games it was considered an indication of the final result Miss Chambers did not give up, however, and assumed the aggressive in the second set, which) she won by-her successful efforts in placing. Then came the final set and this was most exciting. Miss Potter took the first two games. Then Miss Chambers cap tured one. Miss Potter tnen made the score or games 3 to 1, but Miss Chamcers braced up and took the next three games, making the score 4 to 3 in her favor. Bliss Potter Played Tennis. At this point Miss Potter played a game that meant she would win. Sim lma discov ered then cak point of her adversary and she put the balls to Miss Chambers' left, one alter another, occasionally sending one to the extreme right out of Miss Chambers' reach. She took the next two games, mak ing 5 to 4 in her lavor. Then Miss Cham bers captured n game, bnt Miss Potter in the last two games scored 7 points by good placngand won the set hii'I match. It was a very pietty piece of playing, good gener alship and successful placing. Of the two Miss Chambers has the better stvle of stroke, bnt sue was less steady than Miss Potter and was less snecessrni in put ting the ball bevond nor reach. She is im ex ceedlngly gracetul player and next season after more practice nnder the guidance of experts will make a better showing. Miss Potter's strength or play lies In her ability to put the ball where she desires. She is aotfve and seldom allows a ball to get past hor, and in the last set aho developed a con siderable amount ol speed that was not ob servable earlier In the contest. Miss Cham bers' stroke is pioduotlve of more sperd than that possossed by Miss Potter, but the uncertainty of It under pressnro gave tho advantnee to Mis Potter.
