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.

FLOWER TALKS ABOUT PECK
And Kxplalns Hovr Ho "Was Warned or an
Attempt on His Iiife.
Albany, X. Y., Sept. 17. 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. PUGILISM IN SOCIETY.
A FIGHT TO A FINISH BETWEEN TWO
BEAUX OF ST. LOUIS.
The Challenge Issued by a Minister's Son to
a Scion of the Garrison Famllj- Six
Bloody Hounds In a Stable A Swell
Crow d Present.
St. Louis, Sept 17. 5wrial St
Louis social circles are in a fever of excite
ment over a prize fijht between two oi the
most prominent representatives ot the
most exclusive set in the city. 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. In the

the
round he drank Ireely of ice water, com

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. The

The following are the latest bulletins of

three new cases.
Berlin A case of cholera is reported in
Weimar, capital of the Grand Duchy of
Saxc-Weimar.
Havre Only three new cases of cholera
were reported in this city yesterday, against
15 for the day before. The deaths yester
day numbered five, two more than occurred
Thursday.
St. Petersburg There were reported
in St. Petersburg yesterday 48 new casss of
cholera and 15 deaths. This is 11 less cases
and seven more deaths than were reported
Thursday.
Hamburg The official cholera statistics
for yesterday place the number of new cases
at 276 and the deaths at 136. This is an ap

London, Sept 17. A matrimonial

daughter, are at length in jail after fleecing
no less than 3,000 would-be benedicts in
search of rich brides. They advertised in
the best newspapers and the responses
came in hundreds. They required first 30
francs reeistration fee, a similar fee for a

RULED BY BRIGANDS.
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

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

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.

New Yobk, Sept. 17. 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.
Mr. Dickinson will depart for Buzzard's
Bay to-morrow; at least that was his inten
tion to-dav. 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. Mr. Blaine's refer
ences to the money plank in the Demo
cratic platform were particularly annoy
ing. Carter Trusting In a Southern Break.
Hon. 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

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."

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. It will be Inter
esting to observe the play of both ladles
next year, since both Intend to train hard.
There was but one bit of active volievlng
yesterday and Miss Potter came off best In
