Mate Schultz of the Ship Roanoke Made Good Use of a Rifle. A special to the New York World say: Seamen of the ship Roanoke, now in port, say that when the Roanoke arrived at Rio de Janeiro in October, sixteen men were sent to the hospital. When a fresh crew was placed aboard the men objected to First Mate Schultz, because he was Ger- man. For two days they lounged around the ship jeering at the officer's orders. On the second night they raided the cargo of liquor in the hold. Gallon after gallon was drunk, and then a fight with knives ensued among the drunken mutineers. Two re- ceived ugly wounds and were in a precar- fous condition when they were afterward taken ashore. The mutincers began to plot against the Mate. They secured a rope, made a noose, and started aft in a body. The mate dash- ed into the cabin, and, reappearing with a rifle, ordered the men back. Several obey- ed, but Seaman O'Hara, at the head of the yest, stepped to the front, and, bareing his breast, dared the mate shoot. Schultz took aim and fired. The sailor fell mortal- Jy wounded. Capt. Hamilton raised the flag with the Union Jack down. This brought the police off shore. The mutineers were Fut in chains and conveyed to Jail. ee ae Mr. Cecil Rhodes has arrived in London from Cape Colony. He refused to be in- terviewed regarding South African affairs, WILL THEY FIGHT? The Government to Prevent En- counters in New Mexico. DAN STUART MAKES A PREDICTION Saratoga Preferred for the Four- Crew Race. GENERAL SPORTING NOTES Correspondence has passed between the governor of New Mexico and the United States district attorney for that territory and the Department of Justice with a view to preventing the proposed fistic carnival, which is to be held near El Paso, Texas, February &4, from taking place in New Mexico. The gevernor of the territory is anxious to stop the holding of the carni- val in New Mexico, and {s willing to do all In his power to bring about that re- sult. Should the Catron bill passed by the House yesterday receive favorable action at the hands of the Senate and be signed by the President before the date of the carnival, and the belief in official circles is that such will be the case, the national government will take steps to prevent the fights from teking place on United States territory, using the federal troops if neces- sary. The enactment of the bill into law will, it Is believed, have the desired result, inasmuc? as its violation is punishable by imprisonment, and because it is sn offense for which the accused may be arrested in any state and extradited. Should the bill fail to pass the Senate in time to become operative in ‘he present case the governor of New Mexico has the power, it is said, to proceed against the pugilists should they enter that territory vnder a territorial regulation prohibiting dueling and disorderly conduct. Under tals provision of law, it is stated in official circles, he can stmmon a posse and take other steps to preserve the peace within New Mexico. “Can't Stop ’Em,” Says Stuart. “No power can stop these fights,” said Dan A. Stuart, yesterday, at El Paso, when informed of che passage of an anti- prize fighting bill by the house of repre- sentatives. “They are coming off, just es they are advertised. Bat Masterson got in this morning, and he will have much to do with the protection that will be accorded visitors. Tom O'Rourke, with his two col- ored wonders, Wolcott and Dixon, got in, too, so that all the figaters, with the ex- ception of Horace Leeds, are on the ground. You can say for me that so sure as the principals are alive and in condition to get into the ring on the date set for the con- tests, so sure will they fight, and fight to a finish. If anybody evinces any sort of doubt as to this, I will lay them four t one for any part of fifty thousand dollar: El Globo of Mexic> says the prize fight managers have offered the state of Chi- buchua $20,000 in xold for permission to have the contests take place on Mexican soil. The permissioa, adds El Globo, will positively not be granted. The position of the Mexican government on the impending prize tight is that every state in the American Union has legislated against prize fights, and Mexico cannot per- mit that which is condemned by public opinion in the United States. President Diaz is opposed to allowing the fight to come off on Mexican soil. LAKE FAVORED. SARATOG. Sentiment of the Managers of the Four-Crew College Regatta. The sentiment of the management of the Harvard, Cornell, Columbia and Pennsyl- venia quadrilateral rece at present favors its arrangement at Saratoga. The course there has not as yet been inspected by them, but is said to be particularly suitable to the purpose and tctally free from the paramcunt objection to the Poughkeepsie course, on the Hudson, of interference from pleasure craft. Moreover, Saratoga is very arxious to secure the race, and has offered inducements of such a character that they are almost certain to be awarded the palm unless some material adyance !s made in the offers received from Poughkeepsie and Springtield. A decision will probably be reached within the next ten days. The Saratoga coursé having been the scere of intercollegiate regattas in the height of rowing activity among the col- leges, the arrangement of the races there will be hailed with satisfaction. .The events of June 26 next will In no wise he of less importance or of. Iess interest than were the old intercollegiate regattas when the intensity of college rivalry was such that Saratoga was antually the scene of what was perhaps as animated a spectacle as has ever been seen in the aquatic history of the world, not even excluding the famous Herley regattas of England GAVE DONOGHUE A CLOSE RUB. Good Performance 2 Local High School Boy. The closest race of the series took place at the Convention Hall skating rink last evening, Clarence Saunders, a Washington boy, giving Donoghue a close rub for first honors. Although Saunders had five laps in three mites, he had a fall, and this ma- terially decreased the distance between him and the champion. Johnson and Inglefretz also started, the former with six laps and the latter with two an] a half. Inglefretz also had a couple of bad falls that took away his chance of winning. Donoghue’s time for the three mil+s was 9.34 1-2 which, considering the size of the track and the short turns, is remarkable, to say the least. He also made the ‘2 miles in 6.11. The race began to ve exciting from the first, and when Saund2rs fell and Dono- ghue leaped over his and continued on his way, the enthusiasm of the spectators was unbounded. Inglefretz finished a close third, with Johnson last. Saunders is a High School boy, and is well known as a foot ball player. He seems to possess considerable speed, and it is ex- pected that he will develop into an excep- Uonally fast man. The entries tenight, besidcs Donoghue, are Saunders, Inglefretz, Wisner and Bagg. The latter is the champion of the state of Massachusetts, and is an exceedingly fast man. The race will be for three miles, and will start at 9 o'clock, the handicaps being announced just before the race. With In- glefretz, Saunders and isagg to lead Dono- ghue, there is every evidence that those who attend will see some startling spurts on the part of the racers, and that the race will be the closest and most exciting of the week. c.

LAVIGNE MET HIS MATCH. Light-Weight Fighter Thrashed by a Newspaper Ma: In a saloon on 28th street, New York, yes- terday afternoon “Kid” Lavigne, the light- weight pugilist, who recently sprang into prominence after his fifteen-round fight with Joe Walcott, received a pummeling at the hands of R. L. Bell, a sporting writer on one of the morning dailies, Lavigne had been drinking, but was in anything but a helpless state. Bell greeted the pugilist and congratulated him on his success in getting on a match with Mc- Auliffe. The “Kid,” however, was in an ugly mood, and started in to abuse Bell in vile language. Bell threatened to thrash Lavigne if he did not stop his abuse. This had no effect, and Bell landed a quick right-hander full in the boxer’s face, the force of the blow sending Lavigne backward a dozen feet. Lavigne came back and Bell, getting his head in chancery, punched him hard and often. Solly Smith and Martin Dowling parted ne men at this point, and Bell left the place. Murray Exonerated. William Murray, ex-Starter “Jimmy” Rowe's essistant, who was ruled off at Alex- ander Island race track in December for the alleged poisoning of the horse Arundel, was excnerated by the executive commit- tee of the Old Dominion Jockey Club at a special meetirg of that body last night for the purpose cf investigating the charge. Presiding Judge Vandergrifc and “Ike” end “Ned” Jones were present at the meet- ing, and after carefully weighing the evi- ence offered in behalf of Murray they. de- cided that the charge was an unjust one and had been brought more through a mis- understanding than anything else, as far as Mr. Murray was concerned. Clevelands’ Practice Season. The Spiders have arranged the following schedule of practice games: Cleveland and Pittsburg will play at Hot Springs together until March 29, when the Clevelands will go to Little Rock, Ark., and play on March 30 and 31. From there the Clevelands will play in the following cities: Memphis, April 1 and 2; Kansas City, 4 and 5; St. Joseph, 6 and 7; Des Moines, 8 and 9; Burlington, 10 and 11; Peoria, 12 and 13. The last exhibi- tion game will be played at Quincy on April To Wheel Through Jamaica. Upon the steamer Bowden, which sailed last evening from Baltimore for Jamaica, were two bicyclists from this city, who will make a tour of the island, and report to their club comrades what features there are to commend Jamaica to the bicycle fraternity. They are J. Quackenbush Rice and H. E. Berrian. Jamaica has the finest roads that can be wished by the bicycle rider, and to add to them are magnificent reaches of mountain, plain and seaside scenery. Wont to Increase the Circuit. A meeting of the Atlantic Base Ball As- sociation will be keld next week, when it is expected that the circuit will be in- creased to eight clubs. The association now consists of six clubs, and when it was learned that the circuit would probably be increased there was a scramble for the cther two franchises. Danbury, Water- bury and Meriden are the cities favored. ——_—_ MAX LEBAUDY’S FATE. The Blackmailing Schemes That Brought Him to His Death. From the New York Tribune. PARIS, January 17.-The new scandal which has just come to a head here bids fair to eclipse the scandals relating to the Panema canal, the gambling clubs, the railroads of the south, the blackmailing of the Transatlantic Steamship Company and other public or private affairs. The pres- ent affair relates to the life and death of M. Max Lebaudy, who was surrounded by a shoal of sharpers and swindlers, most of them belonging to Paris journalism, or rather te what is called the “boulevard‘ere” press. Lebaudy’s father was a sugar refiner who had accumulated a great fortune. Max, the son, a multi-millionaire, was in 1894 of the age at which all French young men are drafted into military service. He was as- signed to a mounted regiment of the quar- termaster’s department, and sent to the barracks at Fontainebleau. The military service was extremely :evere upon him, and he fell sick. Then he applied for a change of garrison, which was granted, and then for his release from service, as being in- capacitated through sickness. War on Rich Conscripts. At that time a furious campaign was open- ed in the newspapers by writers who con- tended that the millionaire soldier should be treated like any other. They added that any favor shown him could not be inter- preted otherwise than as having been bought by the wealthy conscript through bribing his military chiefs and the regimen- tal doctors. None of thesc officials, there- fore, dared to treat him as leniently as :f he had been an ordinary poor conscript, and permission was refused him to leave the army. He was well taken care of, how- ever, at Amelie les Bains, a military sani- tarlum in the region of the Pyrenees. But Max Lebaudy was really sick, and he died ie the hospital, surrounded by his friend, Mile. Marsy, an actress of the Theater Franceis, and by his two brothers. He had on his lips, as if in terror, the name of the so-called Conte de Cesti, of whom the dying man said have given him ten pairs of horses and hundreds of thousands of francs, and jt is he who is killing me.” The Biackmailing Campaign. This adventurer, Cesti, was the one who had organized the blackmailing campaign, which was conducted on two different lines. On the one hand, money was extorted from young Lebaudy, under the pretext of sub- sidizing newspapers to write in favor of his release from military service, as being a sick man,and of paying the military com- mander and surgeons who would support Lebaudy’s request for h's dismissal. On the other hand, the alleged friends of the mil- lionaire soldier bled him in immense sums, on the plea that they needed them to stop in some newsrapers the articles—most of them inspired or written by themselves—in which it was said that he was not really sick, and that no favor should be shown to him any more than to the poorest con- script. The Conspiraturs. It is said by the Paris papers, which are publishing two or three columns a day on this subje>t, that out of 28,000,000 of francs inherited by Max Lebaudy, some 10,000,000 or 12,000,000 francs have already disappear- ed into the pockets of the blackmallers. ‘The same Paris papers reluctantly admit that these blackmailers belonged to the press, more or less directly, and that some of them had served terms of imprisonment, a fact which ougnt to have closed to them the doors of respectable newspaper offices. Urfortunately, the careers of these swin- dlers were not investigated, and thus, the “Figaro,” the “Gaulols,” the “Temps,” the “Vie Parisienne,” and other periodicals, en- jJoyed the dubious honor of numbering among their editors, writers or reporters ex-convicts. + ©+—___ GOV. RICKARDS’ DEMAND. Wants the Crees Removed From Montana. A special,.dat2d yesterday, from Helena, Mont., says: Today Gov. Rickards demanded of Sec- retary Olney that he forthwith rid Mon- tana of the Cree Indians. The demand was made after receipt this morning of a letter from Secretary Olney referring to the Cree controversy, of which the follow- ing is part: “The department has now recalled the subject to the attention of the British em- bassy, with a request that authorities of the Dominion of Canada may be informed of your readiness to deliver the Indians to them, and that this government may be informed as to when and where her maj- esty’s authorities will be ready to receive them. The department expects an early resporse to its inquiries, and it is hoped that the authorities of Montana will be Prepared to take prompt action if a favor- able reply shall be received from the em- bassy.”” In reply Gov. Rickards informs Secretary Olney that the matter issnow an interna- tional affair, and that it is the duty of the federal government to remove the Indians, and not the state. In conclusion, Gov. Rickards cites that the Crees in times past Spread scarlet fever and diphtheria throughout the state, and that now smal pox has broken out and is spreading on ac- count of them, and that Montana as a state and part of the Union demands of the federal government that it forthwith re- move the Cree Indians, irrespective of Eng- land’s reply to Secretary Olney’s letter.

THE SITUATION TODAY The action of the majority of the Build- ing Trades Council at its meeting Tuesday evening last in lifting the boycott, so far as its members are concerned, against the local brewers is today looked upon by many of the most prominent members of District Assembly No. 63, Knights of Labor, as a declaration of war against the Knights of Labor. It is expected that the matter will be so regarded when the present status of the beer boycott shall come up for dis- cussion et tonight’s meeting of the District Assembly. The reconsideration by the ‘Building Trades Council of the action taken by them at the meeting two weeks previous, when the council voted to place a boycott on the .Product of the local breweries, is a surprise to the members of the joint committee of the Federation and D. A. 66, : AK. of L. Statement. The excitement in labor circles relative to the matter is intense, as can readily be inferred from the following statement made today to a Star reporter by a prom- inent member of the District Assembly: “The statement published today that the next few days will witness the reconsidera- tion of the action of many of the unions in sustaining the boycott is merely a matter of wild guess on the part of some enemy of the central bodies, for outside of the Bricklayers’ Union no official action has been taken, and my opinion is no such action will be taken. “The Federation is the representative body of Washington, as fifty-two unions out of fifty-four are represented in that body, and at its last session the delegates who were dissatisfied with the action of the Federation in placing the boycott on the master brewers were absolutely silent, or else there were none of that opinion. “The charge is made that D. A. 66 desires to disrupt the organization af the Building Trades Council. On the contrary the build- ing trades unions represented in D. A. 6 have made it possible for the Trades Coun- cil to exist, and it must be admitted by any intelligent and fair-minded man that the Knights of Labor have been the back- bone of the labor organizations, and have Sreatly aided to make them as powerful as they are today. “As to organizing a council under a charter of the American Federation of Labor, that has been talked of for years by representatives of two or three trades, but when it came before their unions tor action it has heretofore been defeated py the great majority of the unions. “As far as the statement attributed to Mr. Gleason in reference to the present trouble is coucerned, that the central bodies do not wish to settle the boycott, I know it to be the earnest desire on the part of the committees of these bodies to settle if the brewery employes are allowed to organize and fair wages are paid them. If the com- mittees are paid to prolong the fight the central bodies are in ignorance of it and would be obliged to Mr. Gleason to state on what fact he bases stich a charge. “As to the members of Gambrinus As- sembly telling different stories as to the reasons for the fight against the brewers, I believe this is in keeping with the other charges said to be made by Mr. Gleason. The true facts are, however, known to all that the brewers were locked out be- cause they mad2 a demand for the right to organize ind fer a living scale of wages. And it is a matter of fact that in each brewery the man who confessed himseif a member of the K. of L. was dismissed. “As for the attorney's statement that he will only treat with the Building Trades Council on a question of settlement, it is an admission that he does not care for a settlement, as ne knows that the fight will stay on forever unless D. A. 66 and the Federation are recognized as the bodies who legitimately have the right to settle, and every loyal man will refrain from drinking the product of the local brewers, even if he has to take kindly to the muddy Potomac water. The Brewers. Mr. Leon Tobriner, of counsel for the brewers, today reiterated the statement heretofore made by him that it is absurd to think thet the brewers will make any agreement such as Gambrinus Assembly seeks to impose upon them. He declared that so well satisfied are the brewers with the matters as they now stand that they will not recognize the Federation or D. A. 66 at all. “So far as we are concerned,” he said, “we are in favor of union labor at union wages, and we intend to give the prefer- ence in awarding contracts to the organ- ized labor unions of the District of Co- lumbia, but we will also recognize the in- dividual societies or unions in our deal- ings. We will not boycott those who do not boycott us, but we will retaliate on all who boycott us.” The Retail Liquor Dealers. The Federation of Retail Liquor Dealers held their regular monthly meeting late yesterday afternoon. President E. L. Jor- dan presided. ‘There was some talk on the present status of the beer trouble, but the members declined to divulge any of the proceedings. It is understood that a resolution was passed to continue the neu- tral position which the Federation has oc- cupied ever since the present difficulty began, It is reported that the Federation will recommend to the loval central bodies hav- ing the matter in hand that they seek the good offices of the general officers cf the Knights of Labor, whose headquarters ere in Washington, and who, it is believed, will be able, if requested, to bring about a settlement which will be satisfactory to all sides. It is thought if this is done a great deal of trouble will be prevenied and the pending complications in lator circles be smoothed away, ——a ON THE TRAIL OF CRIME. Philadelphia Police Investigating a Mysterious Affair, The Philadelphia police are investigating what looks like an extensive robbery and a possible double. murder. There are many mysterious circumstances in the case. One death has alréidy Sccurred, and another victim is reported: a8 being in a dying con- dition. Ei d Anna Tate, d: housekeeper, employed by J. H. Richelderfer, No. 1506 Swain street, was found dead'im Bed yesterday morning. Her employer, Mr. Richelderfer, was found at the same tinte unconscious and dying in his room. Everything in the house was found in disorder and confusion. Burglars had evidently ‘ransacked the place hur- riedly, and had departed after breaking epen an iron safe in a back room on the street floor, and abstracting money and valuables belonging to Mr. Richelderfer. On the bed in the'front room on the sec- ond floor lay Mr. Richelderfer, evidently dying. There were no wounds or marks of violence on his body, and a hasty examina- tion seemed to justify the theory that he was under the influence of some powerful narcotic. In a back room on the third floor, ly!ng upon the bed, was the body of Miss Tate, the housekeeper. She was dead, and the body was cold. There were no marks of violence found after a superficial examina- tion. Nor was there any sign of a struggle. The woman lay in bed as though she were asleep. Mr. Richelderfer is a widower, seventy- six years of age. He has been in business at No, 1120 Arch street. He lived alone in the Swain street house, with the exception of the housekeeper, Miss Tate, who was thirty-six years old. Mr. Richelderfer receatly took into his employ a young countryman, George Bar- tram, about twenty-one years'old, as a sort of body servant. No one in the neighbor- hood appears to know anything about Bar- tram, who has disappeared. The police are looking for him. MEMBERS IN TOWN Senators, SLACKBURN, J. G. 8.."Ken! BLANCHARD, N. C., La.

From the New York ‘Times. . CAMBRIDGE, Mass., February 2.—Prof. Trowbridge’s recent confirmation of the discovery made by Prof, Rontgen of Ger- many has created unusual interest among all students who are interested in scien- tific study. It was on Wednesday after- noon that Prof. Trowbridge obtained distinct impression upon a photogra’ plate by means of the Rontgen cathe rays, acting through such opaque stances as wood and pasteboard. The impression gives a distinct print on any sensitive paper. At one place the wood was not less than half an inch thick. At other places the thickness was not more than one-cighth of an inch. Put it is difficult to distinguish on the plate the part that was covered by the extra thick- ness. A very sensitive Cramer dry plute was put, film side up, into a wooden box with a tight-fitting cover. On the plate were laid two clear glass slips, less than sixteenth of an inch thick. A considerable space was left hetween them. Across the glass slips, to hold them in plac put a narrow bar of pine wood f teenths of an inch thick. The wooden cover, three-sixteenths of an inch thic Was then put in place. ‘This wood Was put inside a covered pasteboard the walls of which were one-thirty-second of an inch thick. The whole thing was put close to the brightly fluorescent part of an ordinary spherical Crooke tube, and the action was maintained two minutes, when the tube became too hot for further op a tion. When the plate was taken out and developed the part not shielded by the glass showed plainly the boundar! for the whole length of the plat This was Prof. Trowbridge's second at- tempt. ‘The first had been only partly successful. The ordinary current used for Kghting the buliding was sent throuch the primary of an ordinary coil. Th sistance of the primary of this coll tenth of an ohm, and of the s 6,000 ohms. The current primary was not stronger than 15 am- pefes. The current from the seconda of the first coil was sent through the pri- mary of 25 turns of a Tesla induction coil, the ‘secondary of which was 500 turns. The secondary gives a spark through six inckes of air. Its terminals were con- nected with the electrofloe of the Crooke tube. From the ease with which the photo- graphic effect was obtained it appears doubtful whether so complicated and pow- .erful apparatus was necessary. The im- pression obtained on the plate is rather a print than a negative. —_—_--e+_____ Justin McCarthy’s Withdrawal. Justin McCarthy has addressed a letter to the secretaries of the Irish party, in which he says that his reasons for giving up the leadership are wholly personal and due to bis failing health and to the necessity for greater attention to his profession, upon which depends his livelihood. He says that he is still full of confidence in the success of home rule, which he does not believe is coomed, so long deferred as some seem to think it is. He sees hopeful indicazions that the factions of the party will soon be united. rondary through the ae Apaches on the Rampage. A special from Fort Thomas, Ariz., says: The San Carlos Apaches are again on the rampage. Yesterday evening Sam Hinton, a cowman, while riding along the reserva- tion, was fired upon from ambush at a point about fifteen miles from San Carlos agency. He avoided the shots and arrived safely at San Carlos, the nearest station where assistance could be found. All sete uers in the vicinity are confidently expecte ing an attack in the near future. ‘
