Yesterday evening between 6 and 7 o'clock there was a disturbance at the Schuetzen Park that came very near developing into the dimensions of a full-fledged riot. It seems that there was a colored picnic in progress at the park for the benefit of “Brother Wilson’s Church,” at the corner of 2d and Wilson streets. There was a big crowd in attendance, and as a band was passing by the combination was too much for the interests of law and order. Two policemen who tried to suppress the riot have reason to think today that they were very lucky to get off with their lives. A car was passing up 7th street in charge of Conductor Shafer, when a little colored boy, named Charles Wheeler, jumped on the car. When the conductor put the boy off the car he threw a stone at the car, which struck the conductor on the arm, narrowly missing his head. Officer Lynch put Wheeler under arrest and turned him over to an elderiy colored man named Smith to hold, #s the trouble was getting general by this time. Sticks and stones were flying thrcugh the air, and it became necessary for the officer’ to draw his pistol to keep the crowd from killing him, as they threatened to do. He fired off his pistol over the heads of the crowd, but this only seemed to excite them, and when all the shots were gone they set upon him again. A number of peaceable citizens came to his rescue. A colored man named Charles Yates made a vicious attack upon Smith and tried to release his prisoner. Officer Rhodes, who was at dinner a few blocks away, ran to the scene of the riot, and he aJso used up all his shots in an effort to keep back the crowd. George Perry and William Adams, two negroes, got into the row, throwing stones, kicking the policemen and the citizens who were assisting them, and making as much trouble as they possibly could. Finally, these four boys were put under arrest and were car- ried to the station in the patrol wagon. When they appeared in the Police Court this morning they made about as hard a looking quartet as their neighborhood often turns out. Judge Kimball spent some litule time in getting at all the facts, which showd that the offense was a more serious one than fs usually heard of in the Police Court. There were two assault cases against Yates, one for his attack on Smith and one for kicking an outsider, who had come to Lynch’s assistance. He was given six months in and $10 fine for disorder- ly conduct. A i$ was fined $10; Wheeler got thirty days in jail, and Perry three months. ey IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT. Active Preparations for the Conven- tlon Wednesday. From the Baltimore Sun. Active preparations are already being made for the democratic convention of the fifth congressional district, which meets at Catonsville on Wednesday. Much interest centers in the convention, because it Is Senator Gorman’s home district, and, it Is said, that special efforts will be made by his friends to prevent the adoption of any resolutions indorsing President Cleveland and tariff reform. It is further said that Mr. Gorman's friends, acting under his ad- vice, will exert themselves to nominate only such candidates as are known to be friend- ly to the Senator. The Gorman forces in the convention will, tt is understood, be led by Mr. Frank A. Bond of Anne Arundel county, who is the inspector of weights and measures in the District of Columbia. The choice of Mr. Gorman and his friends are State Senator John G. Rogers of How- ard county for the full term, and Dr. Geo. Wells of Anne Arundel county for the un- expired term of ex-Congressman Barnes Compton. Mr. William B. Clagett of Prince George's county is also a candidate for the long term, while Charles county has indorsed Peter W. Hawkins, and the first and thir- teenth districts of Baltimore county have indorsed George 8. Kieffer, each for the unexpired term. The friends of State Senator Robert Moss of Anne Arundel county will urge him for the long term. Calvert and St. Mary's counties and the seventeenth ward of this city, which are also in the district, have no announced candidates. Mr. William B. Clagett will control the delegation from Prince George's county, and Mr. Rogers that from Howard. In Charles county the Cox faction, which claimed to represent Mr. Gorman, were de- feated in the primaries, and the delegation to the convention, it is believed, will favor Mr. Clagett for the long term. The seventeenth ward and St. Mary's county have expressed no choice, but Mr. Clagett’s friends claim that St. Mary's will go for him if no iocal candidate is pre- sented. In Calvert county there is a contesting delegation, as there will also be in Anne Arundel. In the last named county the friends of Senator Moss and John C, Ban- non refused to participate in the primaries held in the early summer, claiming that they were not called at the instance of the county executive committee, which alone had authority to do so. This element of the party called a separate convention, and will send a cortesting delegation to Catons- ville. The friends of tariff reform in the district are as determined to pass resolu- tions indorsing this principle and President Cleveland as the friends of Mr. Gorman are to defeat such resolutions. Therefore an exciting time ts anticipated when the convention meets, as the fight will be as vigorous over this question as over the nominations. soe A general court-martial will convene at Vancouver September 5, for the trial of Capt. W. H. Goodwin, company G, four- teenth regiment, United States army, on several accusations of drunkenness while on duty. VIGILANT’S ILL LUCK Her Centerboard Again Suffers In- jury. TOMORROW'S RACE IS MADE DOUBTFUL Rights of American Diplomats in the East. GENERAL FOREIGN AFFAIRS LONDON, September 4.—The yacht Vig- ilant’s ill forture follows her. On the pas- sage from Portland to Cowes yesterday she struck an obstruction and, according to re- port, breaking her centerboard, the entire weignt of which was thrown upon the chain, As the boat struck the crank flew from the centerboard winch and struck the corner of the table at which Howard Gould and Mr, boyd were sitting at lunch with such force as to break off a large piece of the table top. The cogs were torn frora the windlass and the entire center- board apparatus was generally disarranged. Capt. Haff is hopeful that the damage may be repaired in time for tomorrow’s race for the Cape May Cup. Death in the family of Mrs. Jay Gould will prevent cither George or Howard Gould from sailing with the Vigilant should she start. SHELTER FOR REFUGEES. Rights of the American Consulates in China and Japan. SHANGHAI, September 4.—The Chinese having claimed contro! over the Japanese residents in China, osserting that Japan claims control over the Chinese residents in Japan, the American consul, acting un- der instructions from Washington only to intervene with friendly offices, yesterday delivered to the Chinese outside the settle- ment limits two Japanese who were recent- ly arrested, accused of being spies, and who had been under the protection of the United States. The Chinese authorities pledged themselves not to torture the prisoners and to give them a fair trial. It was learned that diplomatic corre- spendence has passed between Minister Denby and this government regarding the protection which the United States diplo- r-atic officers can give to Japanese in China, and that correspondence was had in regard to the case of the two Japanese ac- cused of being spies, who have been deliv- ered to the Chinese authorities for trial. In- teresting questiors are involved in the case, arising partly from the position of the United States as a mediator, since it has extended its good oftices to both govern- ments. Both the Japanese in China and the Chinese in Japan have been looking to the United States for protection since diplo- matic relations between the two belligerents were severed. it was learned today that diplomatic corre- clined to hold the view that Japanese who appealed to him for protection were en- titled to the same protection from our diplo- matic officers that would be given to Amer- ican citizens, but was advised by the State Department that this was carrying protec- tion of subjects of other nations too far. Acting Secretary of State Uhl, when shown the Shanghai dispatch, said that some time ago the American minister had been informed by the State Department that the United States could interpose with friendly offices only as to the difficulties be- tween the two countrtes or the citizens of one country temporarily residing in the other. The Japanese prisoners, who had been under the protection of the United States, had been arrested by the Chinese au- thorities and turned over to the French consul, under the belief that he had author- ity to try them. As he had no such author- ity, the French consul gave the prisoners in charge of the American consul, who thought he had jurisdiction to try them, The State Department informed the United States minister, however, that the United States consuls have no juriediction over the subjects of one country in the other. Its copsulates can afford no asylum to the subjects of one country while in the other, The American consulates could afford temporary shelter for a citizen of Japan in China if pursued by a mob or otherwise threatened, but upon the demand of the Chinese authorities the person would have to be immediately surrendered. All that the American consuls can do is to ask for humane and fair treatment of these per- sons, who are citizens of one country, but living in the other. Evidently the minister has acted in ac- cordance with this view tn giving up the two Japanese, hut requesting that they be fairly dealt with. MR. GLADSTONE’S CONTRIBUTION. It Has Become the Lending Topic in British Politics. LONDON, September 4.—The Times to- day, commenting upon the storm raised by Mr. Gladstone's contribution to the Irish parliamentary fund, says: “The revelations are inconsistent with the resolutions of the house of commons In February, 1893, that the Times was guilty of a gross breach of privilege in asserting that the ‘rish members were in receipt of a stipend drawn from the English party fund or from the private liberality of rich Eng- lish partisans.” DUBLIN, September 4,—John Dillon, M. P., has written a letter to the Freeman’s Journal denouncing the charges of Mr. Healy, who asserted that the Irish party had asked Mr. Gladstone and others, it is presumed, to subscribe to the Irish parlia- mentary fund. Mr. Dillon says that no ap- peal has been made to any Englishman, much less to members of the government, by the committee, and adds: “TI express no opinion as to whether Baron Tweedmouth’s subscription should be ac- cepted.” Justin McCarthy, chairman of the Irish parliamentary party, has also written a letter to the Freeman's Journal, in which he says that the committee has made no appeal to Englishmen, adding, however, that it would be “stupid madness” to re- fuse such subscriptions. Mr. McCarthy con- tinues: “I take the entire responsibility.” ——>___. FALL OF THE Si YLIGHT. Collapse of the Gl Office. CHICAGO, September 4.—Shortly before 4 o'clock this morning the glass roof which covered the entire office of the Brevoort Hovse, on Madison street, fell with a crash. ‘The clerk was the only person in the office at the time, and he barely escaped being crushed by the falling glass, iron and wood- work. The guests, who were awakened by the noise, rushed to the office to find it a mass of crushed glass and other debris. ‘There was something of a panic in the cor- riders of the hotel when the noise was first heard, but the night clerk quickly assured the guests there was no danger, and their fears subsided. Had the accident happened earlier probably many persons would have been Killed or injured, as the Brevoort citice is filled with guests and loungers usually until long past midnight. The ac- cident is supposed to have been caused by a heavy exhaust pipe falling from the root to the skylight. —_——._—_ Overturned Their Boat. PEMBROKE, Mass. September 4.—1.

He was unable to swim. Blakely plunged in after him. He caught the drowning boy, but became exhausted, and both went down together. —__>_—_ Killed for an Insult. KANSAS CITY, Mo., September 4.—Chas.

Moran Wag arrested. Roof of a Hotel TO CLOSE UP THE SALOONS. Proposed Move of the Des Moines Dis- trict Attorney, » DES MOINES, Iowa, September 4.—Con- cerning the report that District Attorney Davis would apply to the district court for injunctions egainst all the saloons that have taken cut licenses ‘under the Martin Mulct law, on the ground; that, the petition filed with the county recorder is shy about 300 signatures required by law, Mr. Davis says that he will have all the saloonkeepers served with notices of an intention to make application and ask them to’ appear and defend. “However,” said Mr. Davis, “it is the in- tention to select one saloon man and make a test case. I have examined the list of names on the petition filed with Auditor Brandt, and while it is a fdct there are about 6,000 names appended, I am confident from the examination made there are hun- dreds of the names not those of legal voters. “The petition was loosely gathered up, and to my mind there will be no difficulty in overpowering it in court. The claim of the saloonkeepers that the burden of proof rests with the state to show that each name is not that of a legal voter is, I think, er- roneous, for the reason that in certifying the petition to the city authorities Auditor Brandt did not certify that they were vot- ers, but merely that such a number of names were appended to the petition. I shall begin injunction procecdings against some one of the liquor dealers soon and urge the case to a speedy conclusion. In my opinion it will eventually end in the clesing of all the saloons in the city, since there appears to be no doubt that the peti- tion upon which they rely is fatally de- fective.” Forty-five saloons will be affected by the proceedings. —_———_ THE INCREASED WHISKY TAX. No Confirmation of the Fight by the Trust. CHICAGO, IL, September 4.—If the whis- ky trust intends to oppose the collection of the increased revenue tax on whisky no intimation has been given to the govern- ment officials. Collector Mize says that he heard a rumor that the whisky men would go into the courts and make an effort to have the new tariff law, in so far as it relates to the tax_on whisky, declared un- constitutional. The rumor was brought from Peoria by some of Mr. Mize’s depu- tes. Ramored jothing has been heard by this office,” sald the collector, “to indicate that the distillers will oppose the tax, It is difti- cult to see what they could gain by having the law declared invalid. On the other hand, should the law fail, they would lose the extension of the bonded period from three to eight years.” ——— SUSPECTS SET AT LIBERTY.

Struggle Between Mrs. Byers and Her Husband's Brother. Legal proceedings which were instituted a few days ago, and which will culminate in court today, have disclosed the fact that E. M. Byers, the much-sought-for millionaire iron manufacturer of Pittsburg, is an in- mate of the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane in Philadelphia. His wife's detec- tives, who have been on his trail for so long a time, located him there a few days ago, and yesterday she spent several hours in his company, having come hurriedly from her home in the western part of the state to renew the hot legal battle she is waging for possession of him and his fortune. The Byers case involves*some of the best- known people of Pittsburg and Alleghen: and is a veritable sensation in high life. The trouble all turns on the efforts of the wife and the brother, A. M. Byers, to gain possession of the husband, E. M. Byers, who is now out of his mind. Both the Byers brothers are millionaires, A. M. being the head of the firm of A. M. Byers & Co. manufacturers of wrought iron pipe. Mrs. Byers was Miss Anna Hays, a mem- ber of one of the most exclusive families in Allegheny county. Her mother, Mrs. Richard Hays, worth half a million, occu- pies a mansion at Ridge avenue, Al- legheny, where E. M. Byers and his wife made their home for many years. They have been married about a dozen years, Then Miss Hays was a society belle and E, M. Byers a traveling agent for his brother, who was becoming a wealthy manufacturer. They lived happily for a time, but Byers’ habits, kept in check for a while, got the better of him and he took to drinking heavily. Two or three years ago the family skeleton got out of the closet. There were reports of Byers going home intoxicated and assaulting his wife. About that time Mrs. Hays, the mother-in-law, removed to the Schlosser Hotel in Pittsburg, and Mr. and Mrs. Byers went with her, ‘There were more family jars. Mrs. Byers claimed that her brother-in-law and his partner, Shields, in the fron furnace at Girard, caused the trouble. E. M. Byers was then weakening mentally, and she says his brother wanted to get possession of him in order to keep her out of his wealth. One day, she says, the brother and his partner got her away from the hotel by telling her her mother wanted to see her in Allegheny. While she was away they took her husband off in a carriage. Since then there has been a continual struggle to get possession of the husband. Mrs. Byers hired detectives who traced him clear to Japan and brdught him back. The courts at St. Joe, Mo., and Chicago were in- voked in the last summer té straighten the matter out, but as is! known the brother has so far managed to keep possession of the much-wanted mar. About a week ago Mrs. Byers offered a heavy reward for his return. Last week she heard her husband was, in Philadelphia and she went to Superintendent of Police Muth of Allegheny and got him to detail Detective Steel to sectire possession of her husband. The latter part of last week Mrs. Byers and the detective went to Philadel- phia. The Allegheny officials received word yesterday that Byers would probably be brought to Pittsburg Wednesday. A. M. Byers does not deny that he wants possession of his brother, but declares the brother desires to get away from his wife. The latter alleges the contrary. She says some months ago she found her husband in Chicago, and he was rejoiced to see her and wanted to ret:ain with her, but his brother got him away again. Mrs. Byers’ name ap- pears in the society blue book. She is de- seribed as tall and particularly graceful. Her jewels are beautiful and she paints ex quisitely in water and oils. manana Gen. Clendenin's ¥ salad CHICAGO, IIL, September 4.—Gen. David Clendenin of Oneida, Il, is lying at his home dangerously ill. He was colonel of the second cavalry, U. 8. A., and is now retired. He attracted considerable atten- tion as a commander in the chase after As- sassin Booth, and was a member of the commission that sentenced Mrs. Surratt. His son, Surgeon Clendenin of the army, has been summoned to his bedside, and it is believed Gen. Clendenin, who is sixty- four years of age, cannot recover. DEPEW GIVES WARNING Cautions New York Republicans Against Overconfidence, Not a Candidate Himself — Predicts Cleveland's Nomination for Presi- dent in °96. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, who is at Hom- burg, has been expressing himself in regard to politics in the empire state, a New York World correspondent being the medium through which his views have gained pub- licity. He intimated at the outset that he was not a candidate for the republican gub- ernatorial nomination. He then went on to speak of the danger of overconfidence which threatened the New York republi- cans. Said he: Danger of Overconfidence. “Upon a surface view republican success in New York state is certain at the coming election, but nothing is more dangerous at this juncture than overconfidence. The weakness of the republican situation in New York state is the cverconfidence of the party. . The disorganization of Tam- many on account of the exposures in the Lexow investigation and the hostile rela- tions between the democratic Senators and the President would seem to make the democratic situation hopeless in any such doubtful state as is ours, but it must be re- membered that the democratic party has a remarkable facility for harmonizing on clec- tion day and settling its internal quarrels the day atter. “Tammany, just now, is in a humble frame of mind, and, at any rate, cares only to retain control of the city. In her dis- tress and peril, she will undoubtedly con- cede anything to the Cleveland democracy if left unopposed on her own ground. This compromise, 1 believe, will be arranged, so that afterward the city democracy will give its normal vote for a harmonicus state ticket.” Rafus Peckham for the Democrats, The correspondent asked Mr. Depew on whom he thought the two factions of the democracy would unite as a candidate for governor. “Undoubtedly,” he said, “on some man like Rufus Peckham of the court of ap- peals.” “But he is a brother of Wheeler Peckham, whom Senator Hill has so bitterly opposed.”” “That,” said Mr. Depew, “would make no aifference.” “Do you mean that Senator Mill would not oppose his nomination?” “I know,” said Mr. Depew, emphasizing the word, “that Senator Hill w: Judge Peckham’s nomination. “Apparently, then, you do not consider republican success in Ne’ York state this fall a matter of certainty “I do not. Mr. Cleveland a year ago was the most unpopular President who ever oc- eupied that chair. People in his first term had thought him a great man while lectur- ing an opposition Congress, but the fright- ful business and financial cataclysm which followed his victory and the election of both houses of Congress for his party and his views made the country believe that their idol was of clay. People, when they come to the conclusion that they have been deceived, are eager for an opportunity to smash their Joss in vindication of their riper judgment. How Cleveland Divides His Party. “Democracies distrust genius, but love men in authority who are horest, level- headed and courageous, especially if of mediocre talents. Mr. Cleveland is essen- Ually a pedagogue. His government is a schoolmaster’s government. He divides his party Into two schools—good boys and bad boys. The bad boys he does his best to turn out of school, while he rewards the good boys, not as they deserve, but as he thirks they deserve. His most devoted fol- lower will receive only a certificate of hon- orable mention, though he be cabinet officer or Senator, and though he and his friends think he ought to have a medal. “This fashion of doing things amused our people and attracted them on till the financial difficulties of the country con- vinced them that the schoolmaster did not understand his business. “Two things have since tended to rehabil- itate Cleveland and to rescue him from a condition of political helplessness and hope- Jessiess and to make him again the only notable factor of the democratic party. Cleveland Luck. “They were both accidents which con- tinued the chapter of accidents which be- gan with the mayoralty of Buffalo and were followed by the unexpected governor- ship and the miraculcus first presidency. I say these two were accidents because Mr. Cieveland created neither of the up- portunities which have again given him power and a renewed historical position. “The first and most imporiant of the causes which have rescued him from u popularity and pohtical helplessness was the great railway strike. I believe Attor- ney General Olney was the adviser of Cleve- land’s action, but no matter what tue ad- vice or adviser, the President gets the credit or discredit of critical or crucial ad- ministrative acts, “By reversing the accepted theory of our government, that no matter what the dis- order within the state, state authorities must first call on the national government before it can act, and by setting in force the national army and navy and national judiciary, upon the theory that we are a nation, and when the lesser power falls, through weakness or sympathy, to main- tain law, enforce order and protect life and property, that that duty devolves on the national government or the highest author- ity, Mr. Cleveland largely won back for himse!? personaily the confidence and even enthusiasm of the industrial elements of the country, which had been so disastrously affected by the policy, or lack of policy, of the democratic party in power. ‘Again, in his letter to Wilson criticising and directing Congress, in defiance of all precedent, and In his memorandum allowing the Gorman bill to become a law, the |_choolmaster asserts the correctness of his heory if only he is permitt pocaick tn pet fed to run the Republican Strength. Returning to New York state, Mr, Depew ccr.tinued: “So, in Tammany's humility and Cleveland's rehabilitation we have the fac- tors which make it necessary for the re- publicans of New York to fight for their victory. “On the republican side, since the settle- ment of its New York city troubles—or their settlement in a way which will not affect the party at the polls—the party is harmo- rious. It has in its favor its success last fail, and the indications of popular disgust with the administration shown in every re- cent election. It has the tremendous influ- er.ce of the business men of all kinds, whose efforts have been paralyzed and whose loss- es have been enormous, and of the vast number of artivans ard laborers who have been thrown out of employment. All these ncw believe, and by their votes will empha- size their beiie?, that their misfortunes are due to democratic misgovernment or inabil- ity to govern the country. “The only cloud which might grow to a fatal storm is the possibility of a nomina- tion for governor in New York which would revive the old faction fights in our party. An opposition party is never cohesive, and a facticn fight is always disastrous to it. “All this is so strongly felt that the re- publican convention, September 18, will be the strongest, most representative and inde- pendent body of republicans which has met in New York for a quarter of a century. It will b> under the control of no faction, and the fear of that control is the present weakness of all tow pronounced candi- dates. The party wants, if possible, a can- didate sufficiently national in reputation and attainments to present him, if success- ful in New York this fall, to the national convention in ‘96, and thus secure for New York the prestige and enormous localization of power which come to the state which has the President. “The facts present a strong probability that the convention will brush aside all present plans and preparations, and the re- sult of its deliberations will ly be a gen- uine surprise to the country. Cleveland in °06. “And who will be the democratic nominee for President in "96?" I asked. “Grover Cleveland, certainly, unless the present situation changes.” WHEN WEARY AND LANGUID Use Horsford's Acid Phos; When you are weary and langaid with the heat of summer, and sirive in vain to keep cool, and your temper also, the use of Horsford'’s Acid (Phosphate will materially aid you, INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

To a certain extent the courts of the Dis- trict resumed work today after the summer recess. The Court of Appeals met at 10 o'clock, and for the first time the court met with one of its members absent, namely, Mr. Justice Morris. Under the re- cent act of Congress, however, two mem- bers compose a quorum of the court for the purpose of hearing motions, and, where neither side objects, two members may de- termine a case, the judgment or decree be- low being affirmed where in such a case the court is divided. The abseace of Mr. Justice Morris was due to the fact that he has not returned from Spring Lake, N. J., where he is spending his vacation. He is expected to return the latter part of this month. Today's session of the court was very brief, the only business done being the filing of several motions and the admis- sion of three attorneys to practice. In reply to an inquiry of Mr. Chief Jus- tice Alvey, Mr. H. E. Davis said that while he could not speak for the rest of the bar he was certain that an adjournment of the court until next month would greatly con- tribute to the convenience of the bar. ‘The chief justice explained that there were seventy-two cases on the docket, a good season's work, and that while the court had no disposition to inconvenience members of the bar, it was highly desirable that the court should begin the call of cases as scon as possible. Without disposing of the matter, the court adjourned for the day, after intimating that the call of cases would not be taken up before the middle of this month, and probably not until the Ist of October. ‘bree branches of the District Supreme Court were in session today, Equity Court No. 1, Judge Cox; Circuit Court No. 1, Judge Cole, and Criminal Court No. 1, Judge Cole. Judge Hagner is daily expected to return, when he will preside over Equity Court No. 2. Judge McComas will return ebout the middie of the month, and Judge Bradley may return earlier. Chief Justice Bingkam will not return until next month. — THE COURTS. Court of Appeals—Chief Justice Alvey and Justice Shepard. Alphonso Hart, Irwin B. Linton and W. W. Millon, admitted to practice.
