rgMCIAL TSLXGKAM TO THE PISPATCn.1
New York, Nov. 3. John L Daven
Aiort to-day brought about the arrest of
J Commissioners of Cbaritiea and Correction
' Charles E. Simmons and Edward C. Sheehy.
The United States grand jury to-day in
dicted 58 men, whom they termed "pa
tients" on Randall's Island, for false regis
tration. Thereupon United States District
Attorney Edward Mitchell made affidavit
before Commissioner Shields, charging
Commissioners Simmons and Sheehy with
having procured the false registration of 27
of these "patients."
' Commissioner Shields issued warrants for
the arrest of the two commissioners. A de
puty started out to find them. Shortly after
noon Commissioner Shields met Commis
sioner Sheehy in the-corridor of the post
offiee building.
"Hello, Commissioner," said Shields.
"Hello, Commissioner," said Sheehy.
"By the way, Commissioner, I've just
issued warrants for the arrest of yourself
and Simmons," said Shields.
"Is that so?" asted Sheehy, with a
serious face. "What's the trouble?"
Charged With Illegal Begistration.
"District Attorney Mitchell charges you
both with procuring the illegal registration
of some men on Randall's Island."
T11 go right up stairs with yon, Com
missioner. I'll telephone for Simmons."
They went up to Commissioner Shields'
' office, where Mr. Sheehy telephoned to
Commissioner Simmons to come down at
once with a bondsman.
"May I see the complaint?" Commis
lioner Sheehy asked.
The clerk handed him District Attorne'y
Mitchell's affidavit. It said, on "informa
tion and belief," Charles E. Simmons and
Edward C. Sheehy were "at the times here
after mentioned and now are two of the
commissioners of the Department of Public
Charities of the city of New York; said de
partment, under laws of the State of "New
York and the commissioners thereof, pos
sesses and exercises full and exclusive pow
res for the Government management,mainte
nance and direction of the hospital at Ran
dall's Island, in the city of New York,
which is in the Third election district of
the Twenty-seventh Assembly district of
New York City.
Patients at Public Expense.
"Heretofore, and prior to the time of this
complaint, the persons below named were
and still are kept at said hospital at Ran
dall's Island as patients at public expense,
said hospital being a place in which no per
son who is kept at public expense can gain
a residence for the purpose of voting, as is
provided in sectiou 3 of article 2 of the Con
stitution of the State of New York. Said
hospital is. an asylum within the meaning
of said provision of the Constitution, Prior
to the 13th day of October, 1892, the names
of the said persons so kept at public ex
pense at the Randall Island Hospital were
entered in a book kept at said hospital and
entitled, 'Record of Patients,' but their
names were not on any payroll or payroll
book.
Placed on the Island's Payroll.
"On October 13, 1892, the said Charles E.
Simmons' and Edward C Sheehy, together
with Henry H. Porter, sitting as a Board
of Commissioners of said department,
adopted wis order:
Ordered, that tlie payroll and payroll
book at each institution shall contain, the
names of all employes whose compensation
Is board and clothing a well as those re
ceiving salary and board.
"The said patients of Randall's Island
hospital above named, so kept at public ex
pense, were thereupon, in pursuance of the
order above mentioned, put on the pay roll
of the said department at Randall's Island.
On various days thereafter said patients
were given passes permitting them to
leave said hospital on Randall's Island and
to visit the city of New York, and said
passes were given in the exercise of the
powers of the said Commissioners of the
said Department of Public Charities and
Correction referred to."
The Sources of the Information.
Mr. Mitchell goes on to say that the
patients named registered as voters while
in the city on leave, and had no lawful
right to do so, and have been indicted for
it, and that the Commissioners are to blame
therefor. He then gave the names of the
various patients who have been indicted.
He says that the surgeon of the hospital
and the records are the sources of his infor
mation.
Commissioner Simmons arrived at 2
o'clock with John McQuade, of 1328 Lex
ington avenue, and the complaint was read
to him. The two Commissioners were then
arraigned before Commissioner Shields, on
the charge' of having procured and advised
27 men to regitter fraudulently. They
pleaded not guilty and waived examination.
They were put under $5,000 bail. Mr. Mc
Quade signed the papers, and everybody
shook everybody else's hand, and the' Com
missioners of Charities and Correction left
the building.
Commissioner Sheehy said: "None of
the men Whose named we ordered to be put
on the payroll were committed to the
Island by the courts or by ns. Thev are
men who were in bard luck and came (o us 1
to-get work. We have not as much money
as we need to run our department, and we
hired these men to work for us for their
board and clothing."
Tammany Hastens to the Rescue.
As soon as the news that John I. Daven
port had secured the arrest and indictment
in the United States Court of Commission
ers Sheehy and Simmons was flashed to Tam
many Hall, Richard Croker sent a flurry
call for a meeting of the Committee of
Thirty to be heldat C o'clock P.M. The
district., leaders responded with alacrity,
and -were soon in earnest consultation with
their chief regarding this last move of the
Republicans and the necessity to checkmate
it. The result of the conference was that
the following resolution, introduced by Mr.
Croker, was unanimouslr adopted:
Whxkeas, Citizens have been arbitrarily
arrested at the Instance of John I. Daven
port, with a view to intimidating them and
thus prevent the free exercise of the right
of franchise in tills city and,
'Whereas, Thousands of other arrests for
the like unlawful purpose art threatened,
and especially on the day of election; now,
with a view to protecting all qualified citi
zens in their rixtit to cast their ballots on
the ensuing election day, to prevent further
unlawful Interference be it,
Police Enough to Be Called Out.
Resolvod, That a committee of Ave be ap
pointed to wait upon the Board of Police of
the city or Sew York and demand that such
instructions De given to police officers as
will insure the free exercise of tbe right of
franchise on Tuesday next; also to request
the sheriff of the city and county of New
York to qualify a sufficient number of spe
cial deputies to attend at all tbe polling
places in this city on that day, in order that
the right of franchise may be Insured to all
citizens, and that peace and order may be
maintained.
Further, That said committee should like
wise wait upon the district attorney of the
city and county of New Tone, and confer
with him as to violations of the lam of this
State Dy those who have been concerned in
such arrests, and to make of him the request
that the same be presented for action to the
grandjury.
Tbe committee appointed by Chairman
Gilroy under th? provisions of the resolu
tions are all lawyers. They were armed
with copies ot the resolutions to-night, and
started out on their mission at once. There
will probably be quite as many special dep
uty ihenfls at the polling places next Tues
day as United States marshals and any in
terference with the right of a voter on the
part of the marshals will Je lollowed by
summary arrest.
Gilroy Sajs Patience Is Played Oat.
"It was about time we took some steps,"
said Commissioner Gilroy after 'the meet
ing. "We have stood this sort of inter
ference with our elections long enough.
Full information as to the proceedings of
John L Davenport and his plans for elec
tion day was placed yesterday in the hands
ot the Democratic National Committee
from an authoritative source. The most
important faet disclosed is that Davenport
has his plans all laid to get out some 6,000
warrants ,for election dav. Four years ago
he hnd less thin 1,400 warrants out, and tbe
result was practically nothing at all. The
Democratic organization of the city of
New York Is fully alive to the
situation. It has met Davenport before,
and rendered his schemes abortive, and the
National Committee has full confidence that
it will do so again this year. The Demo
crats know very well that bluff is Daven
port's only play, and meatures will be taken
to see that he does not refuse good bail this
year for the few men he expects to arrest
out of his 6,000. Five well-known lawyers
have written him a letter giving the names
and Hdressjs of four prominent and
wealth, menwhom they will offer as bonds
men tor all arrested voters who may be en
titled' to bail."
DEFIANCE IN ARKANSAS.
The Demooratio State Committee Says Ko
Interference Will Be Brooked.
Little Rock, Axe., Nov.' a The
Democratic State Committee has' issued to
Arkansas election officers a circular defin
ing the rights of United States supervisors
and deputy marshals at elections, which,
after a clear exposition of those rights and
duties, continues:
Ir is said that United States denary
marshals will be appointed at the various
precincts in this State and takeohargeof
the elections. There is no authority in the
federal statutes which authorizes this ex
cept in cities of 20,000 or more inhabitants.
Hen co tbe only place in Arkansas
where depnty marshals can 'be ap
pointed is in the city ot Little Bock,
it being the only city in the State with as
many as SO 000 inhabitants. Therefore, if
any deputy United States marshals should
bo appointed anywhere except in Little
Hock It would be without authority of law,
and it will bathe duty or peace officers of
tho county to uphold and main
tain the State law in keeping the
peace nt the voting precincts, and
a deputy marshal can exercise no more
authority at the election precinct or voting
place than any other citizen. If they
should undertake to take charge of the vot
ing precinct or booth, or attempt officially
to do anything in controlling or influencing
the election, or violate in any manner the
State statutes, they should be arrested by
the Sheriff, whose duty it is to preserve the
peace at the'electlon precincts and see that
a fair expression of the will of the people is
had.
In thecxercise of the duties and function
which tbe law, both State and Federal, im
poses UDOn von. the greatest caution should
De preserved to do nothing rashly or outside
or tno law, ana special care snoaia De taken
to orovent any disturbance or breaoh of the
peace. At the same time no wilfnl violation
of the law by parties acting under the as
sumed authority of tho United State Mar
shal should be tolerated.
T00EHEES ISSUES A SERIAL
Of the Statement That He Has Given Up the
Fight.
Terbe Hatjte, Ind., Nov. a Senator
Voorbees authorizes a denial of a dispatch
from Washington, Ind., to tbe effect that in
conversation with ex-Congressman O'Neill
there he was heard to say: "There is no
use in denying tbe fact. We are surely de
feated, but we must keep up a bold front to
Drevent a Waterloo."
Senator Yoorhees sends this statement to
the Associated Press: "There is absolutely
no- truth in the publication, and I can
hardly conceive of a more ridiculous un
truth. As a matter of fact, I was never so
confident that the Democrats will carry In
diana as I am now."

M INTENSE STRAIN
On the Leaders at Both Na
tional Headquarters in
These late Days of
THIS PECULIAR CAMPAIGN.
Erery floor Bringing: Its Petty
Annoyances and Burdens.
TWO STATES THE BATTLEGROUND.
ltv York and Indiana as Important Fac
tors as Ever.
REPUBLICAN DOPES 1HB HIGHEST
rRrECIAL TKLltORJLM TO TIIB rJlRPATOTT.
New York, Nov. a On no day during
the campaign were the scenes at the two
national camps more interesting than to
day. That both sides are confident of vic
tory expresses freely the outward bearing
of these men. Naturally, they will keep
the flag flying on both forts until positive
defeat hauls one or the other down. These
men cannot do anything else but impress
their confidence in the result, not only upon
their repective followings, but on their
personal friends and neighbors. That is
politics.
The outsider must, however, record that
there was detected to-day in certain quar
ters a feeling of anxiety in both camps.
Possibly that is too strong 'a term to be
used. Nevertheless, there was a feeling on
the part of all that the quicker the battle
is over the happier and more comfortable
the campaigners will be. The strain on
them is intense. Even though they frankly
declare their confidence in the result, every
hour brings its petty annoyances, its re
ports that must be looked into, and the
shifting hours pass slowly along.
Pluck That Must Be Admired.
The pluck of the opposing com
manders cannot but be admired. Gocd and
bad news is the same to them now. They
accept the former philosophically and
wearily discuss the latter. The situation
in New York State and in Indiana was of
course the foremost subject The weather
forecasts for the two States were obtained
from Washington and elsewhere. It is an eld
belief in tbe politics of New York State that
tbe fairer the day in the country districts
the better it will be for the Bepnblicans.
Chairman Carter has accepted this inter
pretation. He said to-day that unless there
was a hurricane up the State on election
day the result could be very easily reck
oned. But there have been campaigns in
the State, and important ones, when the
country voters took advantage of a fair
election day,"either to finish up odd chores
or go picknicking.
As for Indiana, the weather in that State
has had very little to do with the outcome
of political battles. Every boy baby born
in the State is, partisan 'from the cradle.
Ex-Governor Gray .sent word to-day that
Indiana was safe beyond dispute for Mr.
Cleveland, and J, N. Huston sent wordibat
the State was safe for Harrison.
'Worried by Klklns and Mahone.
The Democratic national managers do not
propose'to have' Hon. S. B. Elkins run
things to suit himself in West Virginia,
and neither do they propose to allow Gen
eral Mahone to have a clear track in Vir
ginia. Senator Gorman summoned two of
his faithful friends to come. to New York
City for the purpose of receiving special
missions. They were Hon. Eugene Higgins,
of Baltimore, and Hon. Freeman Basin, of
the State of Maryland. Mr. Higgins
is the gentleman who was appoint
ment cleric ol the Treasury Department un
der Cleveland. He was fired out for decapi
tating Bepublicans with dispatch but with
out grace or ease. Mr. Higgins will at
tempt to make things lively -for General
Mahone in tbe Old Dominion, and Mr.
Basin for Secretary Elkins in West Vir
ginia, if the programme ot the Democrats
is carried out
Speaking of the fight in West Virginia,
the conversation of a citizen of that State
to-day will be more or less interesting He
is a Democrat, and cannot leave New York
to vote. He said: "I cannot get honie to
vote. Knowing this I wrote to one of my
old-time political friends asking him to get
some fair and square Bepublican
to pair with me. He wrote back
saying that the Bepublicans weren't
pa'iring with Democrats in West Virginia
this year. I then wrote asking him to hire
a negro to stay away from the polls, and
give him 310. I received his reply to-day,
saying: 'You can't hire any negroes this
year. Tbe itepublicaus have collared them
all' I cannot get away, and I must lose
my vote. This will give you au indication
of the severity of the fight in West Vir
ginia." Weaver's Influence Is Discounted.
The Demooratio managers also have their
eyes on Delaware, as thejr very well know
the Bepublicans are making a stir iu that
little State.
General Clarkson has seen some promi
nent Weaverites, and he was prepared to
say to-night thaU all talk about Kansas,
Nebraska and Minnesota going for Weaver
was in his estimation evidence of incipient
paresis. He remarked that in Kansas there
were 80,000 Union soldiers who would
not to go back on General Harrison. He
said there were also many Union soldiers
in Nebraska, Minnesota and the two
Dakotas, and furthermore, that many of
the followers of General Weaver had been
very much nettled by the General's recep
tion in the South.
In the event of General Weaver carrying
two or three States in the West, General
Clarkson was of the opinion that if neces
sary their electoral vote would go to Gen
eral Harrison, but any talk about General
Weaver carrying enough States to throw
the election into the House was nonsense,
in the estimation of General Clarkson.
Whoever gets New York and Indiana
will be elected. That is certain. A mem
ber ot the Democratic National Committee
said to-day that from the start he never had
put any faith in the claims concerning Illi
nois and Iowa. He had believed at
first that the Bepublicans of Wis
consin might not be able to over
come the majority obtained by the
Democrats in tbe State election two years
ago. Since then, however, the Bepublic
ans have behaved themselves on the school
and other questions, and ex-Senator John
C. Spooner, the Bepublican candidate for
Governor, is as popular as any man in the
State. Mr. Spooner while in New York
frankly said that he was running tor Gov
ernor in the State merely to help Harrison
and Beid. t "
All Eyes on Two Big States.
The Democratic managers, while not in
elined to give up Wisconsin, believe that
tbe Bepublicans are in the van in the fight
The problem, therefore, comes down to
New York and Indiana. All eyes on elec
tion night should be directed on the returns
from (hem.
Ex-President Cleveland and Senator Me
Pherson are to have a rousing reception to

E6AN ANSWERS CALUMNIES.
JBTe Writes From His Old Lincoln Home a
Letter to the Bepublican State Commit
teeHis Nationality Defended Against
Mugwumps and Democrats.
Lincoln, Ner, Nov. 3. Ministe,
Egan, for many years a resident of
Lincoln, to-day sent the following letter
from New York to the Bepublican State
Committee, in which he says:
When, in 1SS9, 1 bad the honor to be named
United States Minister to Chile, the entire
mugwump and the very large pro-British
section of tbe entire Demooratio press foully
and falsely assailed me and assailed
President Harrison and his adminis
tration for having appointed me, and
for no other reason than because
I was an Irishman who dared to be
Independent. When, last year, in con
formity with my duty and with the full ap
proval of my Government, I was engaged
in sustaining American honor and dignity
in protecting American rights and in de
fending the American flajr and the Ameri
can uniform in Chile, those attacks were
unscrupulously renewed.
Npt content with all this, a Mr. Wayne
MocVeafth, the business partner df Grover
Cleveland, was put forward a few days ago
at a great Demociatlo meeting in
Cooper Union, and,- as reported
in the Democratic press, amid the
iond cneers or his audience, he dared to
assail my good name, to repeat the PIggot
slanders about the Irish LandLeague funds,
and to stigmatize me as a fugitive from
criminal justice. If I were an American
born, or had I been born in Sweden, Bel
gium, Germany, France, or in faot, any
where else than in Ireland, those Mug
wumps and Democrats would never dare to
assail me in this manner.
How long, let me ask, will Irishmen allow
to be heaped upon them from those quar
ters sjich know-nothing abuse as thist I
woulirnppeal to every loyal Irish-American,
who. in the glowing words of Presi
dent Harrison, though he has given
the concentrated loyalty of UIs honest heart
to the starry flag and his adopted country,
hasn't forgotten enough to forget the land
of liii nativity, to consider dispassionately
those plain, simple facts before he casts his
ballot on Tuesday next. I do most
sincerely hope Irish-Americans at the polls
will know how to punish those who have
wantonly insulted tbe honor of their race,
and they will vote for the re-election of
President Harrison and for the Republican
ticket. Sincerely yours,
Patrick Eg ait.
TO DOWN THE AMALGAMATED
Is Said to Be the Object of a Systematic
Flan of Campaign Among Employers
The War on the Organization to Be Re
newed With Vigor Next Tear.
Zanesvtiae, Nov. 3. Special The
resumption nt work at the mills of the Ohio
Iron Company last night was not entire and
was hot reported as such by any member of
tbe company. Tbe non-union men in the
works are operating one furnace and tbe
bar mill. The members of the Amalga
mated Association are still negotiating
with tbe managers of the plant with the
hope of an adjustment of the difficulties,
but there Is little prospect of a settlement.
An official of the Amalgamated stated to-!
dav that if the Carpegie mills at Beaver
Falls should start with the .association men
still out it would have a disastrous effect on
the organization, in tbis State as well as In
Pennsylvaniar,Ife' said the Homestead
fight was lost'lohg ago so far as any-possible
advantage remaining to be won by tbe asso
ciation It concerned.
It has been stated here, in connection
with resumption' of work by the Ohio Iron
Company, that the mill operators of the
Mahoning Valley would take up the fight
against the Amalgamated next season, in
compliance with a generali plan that the
fight to render all the big mills independ
ent of it shall be- taken up where the Car
negie Company leave it off", tbe matter at
Beaver being the conclusion of the com-
E any 's campaign; also that tbe Ohio mills
ave been doing all. the work the Carnegie
people have offered them, in consequence
of being unable to handle it with tbe new
men, this being the case particuiarlv at
Youngstown. and that the Carnegie Com
pany .will in tum take care of the work the
Ohio mills may be unable to handle when
the battle ground is shifted to the Mahon
ing and Shenango Valleys.

Cincinnati, Nov. 3. A most shocking
case of malpractice was brought to the Cor
oner's attention to-day in the case of a little
hunchback girl who died last night.
Oustave Huer, who does not pretend to
be a physician, but who claims to cure cer
tain diseases, was called on to treat her for
dropsical consumption. He steamed her

HOW THE BETTING GOES IN INDIANA
fdPltCIAL TZLEOBAM TO TRB DISPATCH. 1
Netv Yobk, Nov. 3. Politics was pre
ferred to trading on all exchanges to-day.
The members of the New York Stock Ex
change led in the betting, although bets
were frequently "made on the other ex
changes. George Wheelock, the mysteri
ous customer of Theodore W. Myers & Co.,
placed $30,000 with that firm to be bet on
Harrison. That 'makes 55,000 placed by
him altogether. He says he has $8,000
more.
Ten thousand dollars of yesterday's
$30,000, it was said, was taken by H. H.
Hart, the wealthy Secretary of the Stock
Exchange Cleveland Club. A. Robertson,
a speculator in Philadelphia and Beading,
bet a broktt 'named Dominick $1,000
even that Harrison would not be
the next President. He also bet
alike sum with J. H.- Sterling that Harri
son and Beid would not be. eleoted. That
bet is supposed to be favorable to Mr. Rob
ertson, on the supposition that the election
might be made by Congress, in which case
the Democratic House would elect Cleve
land, while the Bepublican Senate would
elect Beid.
Some of the Odds on Harrison.
J. H. Sterling bet $100 to $90 on Harrison.
James Whiteley made a bet of $3,000 even
with W. H. Granberg, the former taking
Harrison. Mr. Granberg also bet $1,000 on
Cleveland with Lowengard & Stern, and
a like amount with a broker named
Thompson. Arthur Hunter bet
Edward Wasserman $1,000 on
Cleveland. EL C Randolph bet $2,000 on
Cleveland with a customer of Clark, Ward
& Co. Daniel Chauncev made a bet of $1,000
to $600 on Cleveland: carrying New York
State. Plunger Atwood bet a Philadelphia
broker $300 to $200 on Harrison.
Tbe betting on the Exchange was even on
general results all day, with the exception
of a few small bets.
On the Produce Exchange the bets were
small, although the excitement was gen
eral. At the Consolidated Exchange Will
iam Lewis bet $200 on Cleveland's election.
About $800 was placed by Cleveland men
in Chairman Peters' hanJs'against an equal
amount of Harrison monsy. The odds on
tbe State were.? 100 to $70 in favor of Cleve
land. No More Betting at the Hoffman.
The Hoffman House will not take any
more bets, the guests complaining that tbe
newspapers published tbe bets made there;'
and'they did not like the idea'of the hotel
being the cedter for gambling.
Cleveland money went Pegging on the
general results when offered even early in
the evening, and odds at $10 to $9 on Cleve
land ruled later. At 10 o'olock Pat Duffr,
of New Orleans, who was loaded
down with Cleveland money, was offer
ing $25,000 to $20,000. An effort was made
to bring Colonel Swords over from the
Fifth Avenue Hotel to take up this bet,
but the Colonel, who was found in the Fifth
Avenue barroom, smiled and said that Mr.
Duffy was bluffing.
George Wheelock made a dicker with
Jim Mahoney, the bookmaker, and
tbe resulting bet was the
biggest one that was recorded to-night.
Mahoney bet $10,000 against Wheelock's
$9,000 that Cleveland would be elected, and
the money was put up in $1,000 bills on the
spot. More of Mahoney 's monev was taken
up by Colonel H. C. King, who" bet $2,000
even with the bookmaker that Harrison
would be elected President

SMALL BETS IN INDIANA.
A Few of the Uttle Wagers Show the
Boosters' Feelings.
' Indianapolis, Nov. a Special The
political situation in Indiana continues
very much mixed. Tbe men who bee on
elections, not through sentiment but for the
purpose oi making money, are slower than
usual in coining to the front in Indiana this
year. Only a few bets have been made,
and they have generally been small ones.
The last two or three days though, tbe bet
tors have been gathering in places where
betting is done, and the sports expeot that
a great deal of money will be put up Satur
day, Sunday and Monday. The following
prdpositions posted about town give some
idea of how the betting men forecast their
result:
$1,590 that Harrison is re-elected, in
amounts of $25 or upwards; $1,000 eve a
that Cleveland carrirs Indiana; $50 to $40

BEAVER FALLS IN A PANIC.
Six Fires in One Bay, and All Probably
Incendlary-The 825,000 Ax Works in
Ashes Pitlars Notion Store Destroyed
Some Smaller Blazes.
Beaver Falls, Nov.' a Special At
5:30 o'clock: this evening fire broke out in
the paintroom of the American Ax and
Tool Company's works in this city. After
a stubborn fight by the fire department tbe
paint shop and about a third of the ham
mer and forge shop were burned. Water
was scarce and the fire was in bad shape to
handle. Superintendent Charles W. Hub
bard estimates the loss at $25,000. The
company will resume, rebuilding tbe dam
aged portion at once.
A gas Jet burning too close to the walls
of tbe paintroom is supposed to have
caused the fire. The loss is covered by in
surance in Pittsburg and Eastern companies.
This made the fourth fire in Beaver Falls
within 24 hours two last night at the re
pair shops of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
Railroad and two dwelling houses. The
early fires were incendiary.
To-night's developments leave no room
for doubt that the city is infested with fire
begs and popular apprehension to-night
amounts almost to a panic. While the
ruins of tbe $25,000 fire in the afternoon
were still burning an alarm was given at
9 o'clock for another fire. Tbis was in
Pitiar's notion store. The bni'ding and its
contents were destroyed. Louis Hahn's
butcher shop and Frank Mav's dwelling, ad
joining, were badly damaged. Loss, $5,000.
At M. tbere was another alarm. The
stable of a Mr. Remler, in a thickly settled
section of the city, had been fired by tbe
incendiaries close to the passenger station
oi tne jfittsburg and .LaKe Erie Bailroad.
The Incendiaries were seen running away
from the barn as the flames broke out. This'
was the sixth fire of the day. These in
cendiary fires are not charged to the idle
strikers, as one theory is that the incendi
aries, vino are burning in hopes of getting
plunder, are taking advantage of the situa
tion to throw suspicion upon the large
number of idle millmen in town. .
A VOYAGE TINDER WATER.
The Cruise of the Fabled Nautilus Is Real
ized In Beal life.
Chicago, Nov. 3. The submarine boat
of Prof. George C Baker arrived in this city
yesterday from Detroit, and is now.'anchored

the C. W. Gilcher is supposed to have been
foundered. The boat weathered the storm
by being lowered about ten feet below the
surface, and was raised once every two
hours to assist those' on board to obtain a
supply of fresh air. No attempt was Aide
to use her own propelling apparatus.
She was five days overdue, and Prof.
Baker, who vras awaiting her arrival in
this city, was nearly frantic with anxiety.
The boat, which was built, in Detroit and
originally infended'for the'torpedo service,
will send' a water pressure at 80 to 100 feet
under thew.surface. Her motive power is
electricity.' ...She, will remain, here during
tbe winter-.-"! ,

FEDERAL LAW

Actiiig Attorney General Aid-
rich Leaves No loop
hole for Marshals
AT THE POLLING PLACES,
He Doesn't Belieye Anybody Will
Oppose Them Seriously.
The Idea That the "United States Is a
Foreign and Not a Paternal Govern
ment He Emphatically Deplores
State and Municipal Officers Sura to
Get Into Trouble ir They Ron Up
Against Uncle Sam Marshals and
Supervisors Can Go Any Placa
Around the Polls Whera Their Duty
Calls Them General. Tom Ewlngr
Denounces Such an Interpretation of
the Law.
Washingtou; Nor. a Acting At to
'ney General Aldrich to-day made an im
portant statement with reference to the
authority of United States deputy marshals
to supervise elections, in which he an
nounces that all persons who attempt to
interfere with those officers bring them
selves within the scope of the criminal
statutes of tbe United States regardless of
whether or not they act under any State or
municipal statute. His statement is as
follows:
The attention of the Department of
Justice has been called to certain alleged
instructions to the police and State officers
in Alabama, Arkansas and New York, with
reference to their conduct toward such
deputy United States marshals as may be in
attendance at the polling places. Such
instructions brinj their authors and all
persona attempting to carry them into effect
within tbe provisions of sections 5,513 and
5, 62 of the criminal statutes of tbe United
States, which are as follows:
The Law Not a Bit Obscure.
"Section 5,518 If two or more persons In
any State or Territory conspire to prevent
by force, Intimidation or threat any person
from accepting or holding any office, trust,
or place of confidence under tbe United
States, or from discharging any duties there
of; or to induce by like means any officer of
the United States to leave any State, alstrict,
or place where his duties as an officer are
required to be performed, or to injure him
In his person or property on account of his
lawful discharge of tbe duties of his office,
or while engaged In tho lawful discharge
thereof, or to injure bla property so as to
molest, interrupt, hinder, or Impede him in
tbe discbarge of his official dntles, each of
such persons shall be pnnlshed by a fine of
not less than (500 nor more than $3,000, or by
imprisonirtont with or without hard labor
not less than six months nor more than six
years, or by both such fine and imprison
ment. "Section 5,525 Every person.whether with
or without authorltypower, or process, or
pretended authority, power, or proces, of
any State, Territory orjnnnIclpalIty, who
obstructs, hinders, assaults, or by bribery,

tne performance or any uuty requireo.
of
thrm, or either of them, or which be or they,
or either of them, may be authorized to
fierform by any law of the United States
n the execntion of process or otherwise, or
who by any or the means before mentioned,
hinders, or perverts
Tho Free Attendance and Presence
at such places of registration, or at such
polls of election, or full and free access and

tration or poll of election, or in going to and
from nnysucn place of registration or poll
of election, or to and from any room whera
any such registration or election or canvass
of votes, or of making any returns or cer
tificates thereof, may be had, or who
molests, interferes with, removes or ejeots
from any such place of registration or poll
of election, or or canvassing votes cast
thereat, or of making returns or certificates
thereof, any supervisor of election, tbe mar
shal or his general or special deputies, or
either of tbem. or who threatens or attempts
or offers to do so, or refuses or neglects to
aid and assist any supervisor of election or
the mashal or bis general orspecial deputies
or either of them in the performance of bis
or their duties, when required by him or
them oreitherof them to give such aid and
assistance, shall be liable to instant arrest,
without process, and shall be punished by
Imprisonment not more than two years or
by fine of not more than $3,000, or by both
such fine and imprisonment, and shall pay
the costs of tbe prosecution."
Sir. Aldrich Doesn't Look for Trouble.
In view of these provisions It is not
thought that any persoa, or combination of
persons, will seok in any way to Interfere
with the marshals in tho discharge of their
duties. Any such Interference will be rigor
ously prosecuted. Tbe marshals and their
deputies are at such polling places as peaco
officers and not partisans, and their instruc
tions allow no discrimination for or against
any party. An honest ballot and a fair count
Is what the law was designed to provide,
and its constitutionality has been so strong
ly upheld and the paramount power of the
Federal Government so oiearly asserted by
tbe Supreme Court that it would be idle to
discuss the question.
Tho idea that the United States is not aa
much the object of the people's love and
patriotism as any State is utterly mischiev
ous, although implied in tho circulars re
ferred to. A peace officer of the United
States who seeks to prevent illegal voting
no more invades the rights of American
citizens than does the peace officer of a
btate. Tbe impression that the Federal
Government is a foreign power should be
obliterated.
Tbe statement that section 2021 Is the only
section authorizing tbe appointment of
deputy marshals, and therefore tbatno snob,
appointments can be made only in cities of
20,000 Inhabitants or upwara. Is not the view
of tbe law entertained by the Attorney
General or myself, nor has such a view been
held or expressed by any Attorney General
since tne enactment or tne law.
Kales Observed for Many Tears.
So far as I can discover Jthe Instructions
given by Attorney General Taft in bis cir
cular letter of September!. 1S78. have been
continuously acquiesced in. In this circu
lar he said: "Ton will observe that the
'special' deputies mentioned in seotlon 2011
of tbe Revised Statutes have peculiar
duties assigned to them; duties which other
wise da not belong to deputy marshals.
Such 'special' deputies can be appointed
only in cities of 20,000 Inhabitants or up
ward. Bus tbe duties assigned to marshals
and their deputies by section 202 i, or otber
like statutes, belong to all duly appointed
deputies, wbetber they be general or be
'special' within the meaning of that and the
preceding seotion. Deputies to discharge
this latter class of dntles may be appointed
to any number whatever, according to the
discretion of the marshal in all States la
which sheriffs have a similar power."
The Question wbetber the deputy mar
shals have the right to be within the guard
rail of tbe polling places Is answered in tne
Attorney General's circular of Ootober SI,
1832, in the affirmative. As will be observed,
section 6522, revised statutes, prescribes a
penalty ot imprisonment and fine against
any person who, with or without the author
ity of "any State or municipality, interferes
with or prevents the marshal or bla general
orspecial deputies from the performance of
any duty, or hinders or prevents their full
and free access and egress to and from any
iuch place of registration or poll of election,
or to or from any room where aajr
