Dunwiy, Oct. 15.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Ber.]—Great scandals are again fathered by the Dublin Castie mis- The oficial appointed to assist the eounty court judge in the administration of the new land act in Queens county is no less a person than Valentine Hinds, bailiff- in-chief to Lord Lansdowne at Luggacurran. He lives cheek by jowl with Lord Lans- downe's rent office at Luggacurran and within fifty yards of the cottages which have been erected for the fifty families whom he has been the principal instrument in evicting, As to-day’s Freeman Journal says: “The land act administered by Lord Lansdowne's bum bailiff is the very latest and most horrible of rascalities of Irish life.” The second scandal occurred last evening at Taghoen, Wexford, when a special session under the crimes act, the first kind in the country, was held before McLeod and Bedkin, R.

[Applause. ] Magistrate—What we suggest is that she enter into her own recognizance for good conduct. Miss Lawler—I will give no security at all, a declaration received with loud and pro- longed applause in court. Magistrate—Clear the court at once. The police set about carrying out this order and the scene for a time was one of the greatest confusion. Mr. Leamy jumped up and protested against the people being shoved by the police. Turning to Miss Lawler, Mr. Leamy cried out: *“You are the best little girl in Ireland, and a credit to your country.” Again aud again the cheers resounded in and around the court house. Magistrate—We did everything in kind- ness that we possibly could. Miss Lawler—Speuk up, please, sir I can- not hear you with the noise, strate—We did ali we could to relieve you of being sent to jail, but now, as you de- cline to give any undertaking, we must send you to jail for fourteen days with the rest, Miss Lawler, in a loud voice -Very well, T will go to jail Mr. Leamy—It is a shame to send a little girl like that to jail. I would ask you to in- crease the sentence to six weeks' imprison- ment to allow us to appeal. Mr. McMahon, for the could not consent to that. I am acting here on behalf of the attorney general and I have not authority to consent to that, The sen- tence has been pronounced. Mr. Leamy—I am asking the magistrates and not the crown. The sentence must be passed before the application could be made. Mr. McMahon—The sentence has been very lenient and the great kindness of the magis- trate has been repulsed in the most indignant manner. I never saw such u scene before. Mr. Leamy—With regard to this little girl, what punishment is to be inflicted on her in jailt Surely she is not be allowed to herd with criminals and the worst characters in juil, Magistrate—Tt is her own look out. . Leamy—Indeed, it is not her own look out’ Mr. McMahon—I never saw such demeanor Joqore. Mr. Leamy—I hope you have lesson as to the spirit of the people.

PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS. ‘What a Commc Says of the Situa- tion in England, LCopyright 1857 by James Gordon Benneit.) Loxnoy, Oct. 15.—(New York Herald Special to the Bek]—In liberal nellite circles the conviction gains strength that the government is in a scrious difficulty and may even have to resign. Deai- ing with the matter simply as a question of fact, I have to say that no ground exists for any such reports. The regular working ma- jority remains not less than eighty, which can be brought up to & hundred in & great emergency. The liberal-unionists, in spite of the defection of Buchanan and two or three others, will hold fast to the ministry. As in- dicated by Chamberlain’s speeches, the con- servatives remain solid with one doubtful ex- ception. There is not the faintest difference of opinion in the cabinet as to the proper course to pursue in Ireland. If Churchill re- turned, the laws would still have been en- forced. His speeches prove his determina- tion to maintain the unicn. There are facts that must be faced. No ministry ever re- signed with & working majority of over eighty. As for the legal aspects, the pre- vious dispatches will be found correct O'Brien must go to prison. The government desired to let the appeal take its course, but all the lawyers afirm that there can be but one result. Other prosecution for sedition speeches against English members will be instituted. New and vigorous meas ures will be taken against league theories or Wishes. Thus stands the case: The league or the government must go under, Every- body would cry-out for the impeachwent of ] ww. who reigned ‘8t such a juncture this act it It is an honor. crown—Oh, no, T learned a No such idea was ever for a moment enter- tained. The cabinet may be reconstructed, but the change will effect the position of the hostile forces now drawn up in battle array. Whether Salisbury, Hartington, Churchill or Chamberlain is at the head of the govern- ment that the result in this respect will be the same cannot be too clearly stated. Gladstone's recent attacks on the police have scared off many who were returning to his fold and immeasurably widened the breach between him and the moderate inde- pendent men. These menacing crowds in London do splendid work for the government without meaning it. Everybody seeing them asks, “Where should we be but for the police, whom Gladstone tries to weaken.” Taking up the cudgel for Lyons, the socialist, his great mistake for months past, the people feel as they would in America if Cleveland made a speech defend- ing the Chicago anarchists. Gladstone repre- senting a zentleman named Lyons a8 a vic- tim of brutal ceercion has done more harm to his Irish allies than the attacks of their worst enemies. You will hear much of this for weeks to come, As one of the decisive incidents in a Par- nellite war, threats against Balfour pour in daily. He has made up his mind to see the fight out come what may. Even in English papers covert threats have appeared that may prove awkward if anything happened to Balfour, A strict record is being kept of public incitements to assassination. They cannot help the Irish cause, The deputation to the president started to- day. Asone of the signers of the memorial Imay say that it represents all shades of parties and opinions in parliament. The idea inspiring it is that the two nations ought now to set an example to the rest of the world in agreeing to decide all future disputes by arbitration. So much the worse for the world. If it will not allow the example of the proposed treaty to eminate from congress it would then be pressed upon the British government by parliement, If the idea seems quixotic to some, pray give us credit for good intentions, The French scandal will cause considerable rattling of skeletons in certain cupboards here. There is no corruption of which we can boast, or we hope not, but there.is a good deal of jobbery. Government contracts are too often obtained by all sorts of underhand influence. The official reports show how dis- honestly they are filled, one contractor being supplying for years a peculiar paint con- demned all over the world by the navy, yet he continues to get the contract. It can't be The government s are filled with rubbish bought at ex- travagant prices and never examined. The original contract, perhaps, was jobbed out three or four times over I never heard of admirals dismissed for corruption. The French papers were provia thinking of poor buying. being happily above all reproacih officer of the government has been accused or suspected of jobbery for a hundred ye But how about vestries and metropolitan boards of works. Street opening jobs heve been perpetrated quite as scandalous as ever took place in New York. Architects have paid large sums for contracts they ought never to have had. Corner lots have been mysteriously sold long before the public had a chancéd of getting in. Many a man has cause to bless his lucky stars that he had a kind friend in the board of works. Yet we are all ready to shake our heads solemnly over those awful Frenchmen. People are sorry Boulanger is mixed up. Without knowing much about him he was rather pop- ular here. The steady increase in the de- mand for his portrait is a good test. The public is inclined to join in the song that Boulanger will return. Bunkers as well as brokers are getting alarmed at one heavy blow after in American stocks. I know of » than one eminent house that used to strongly recommend American railrond bonds to clients that now discourages all such investments, and lays the blame upon the Baltimore & Ohio. It has fallen from its former high estate so far as this country is concerned. In the time of the late Garrett it stood first in estimation. Now it is difficult 1o say. where it stands or whether it stands at all, Think what people may of Hughes-Hallett, there can only be a sentiment of admiration for the noble way in which his wife is stand- ing by him. A tissue of falschoods having appeared in one of the contemporaries con- cerning Hallett's designs on his wife's for- tune, she denounced it and fully vindicates her husband. Shealso interests herself in his be- half at Rochester and begs to be allowed to appear before conservatives, which may, to some extent, exonerate her husband. She believes he is almost as much sinned against as sinning. Vanity Fair tries to convict Captain Selwyn of the responsibility for hounding Stead on. If this is A‘\l.lhh\ll(‘fl Selwyn must go down with the othel He would never be forgiven the exposure of his sister, But Selwyn denies it. I happen to know that he was particularly reticient when the story first leaked out. Long before Stead got on the scent, Selwyn’s position at st was extremely dificult, his sister never ving anything much to do with him. In nsequence of a 1amily quarrel she had al- ways declined to regard him as any authority. As at present seen, she still ent his inte ference, and she alone s s to be re sponsible for the publication in the Pall Mall Gazs'tee of the story which effectually seals her ruin, A \h\ym‘l( OF PARLIAMENT, PARISL \\ PRATTLE. Boulanger's Fall_and the Decoration Scandal the Chief Topics—Blaine, [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.) Paws, Oct. 15.—[New York Herald Cable Specialtothe Bee.]—The weather contin- ues cold, wet and windy- Umbrellas and waterproofs monopolize the boulevards, and not even Boulanger's arrest nor the extraor- dinary panorama of swindlers and dupes that makes up the ‘Caffarel-Limouzin-d' Andlau- Withon-Ratozzi s isians into anything like the blaze of excite- ment and revolt that had been confidently predicted. The carefully planned hunt for the corpulent but still inevitable General @Andlan has become a sort of stunding joke. All day and all night six policemen and six detectives pace solemnly uy and down Rue Scribe in front of the Jockey club where the missing generul used to dine. These videttes are re- lieved every four hours. Other squads of police and detectives are patrolling up and down in front of Twenty-fifth avenue, Dan- tin, where the general used to sleep. Still largor detachments hover around the beau- tiful chateau of Verderonne near Liancourt where the gencral used to shoot pheasants and partridges. Still more detectives are stationed at every railway station within a radius of twenty miles of Paris. In fact the entire police force of ‘Frauce has for three days been hunting after the general and try- ing to stack him as if he were adeer, but the wily general, bandicapped as he is by carpulency and gout, has completely battied all his pursuers, 'To make the hynt of OMAHA, SUNDAY General d'Andlan more amusiug it turns out that General d'Andlan had an intimate ac- quaintance with two American ladies, named Harriet Hare and her daughter Miss Emma Hare, who are also in the decoration scan- dals. These occupied very luxuriously fur- nished apartments at No. 4 Rue Boceador, near the Champs Elyses. Forty police agents are now in full chase after these Hares, but they scemed to have left Paris a year ago, and tha police have so far been unable to get upon their scent. The way in which the Parisians received the news of Boulanger's arrest proves un- mistakably that the ‘brave general” has fallen many a peg in popularity. Even his own supporters,” Rochefort, Clemenceau, Emmanuel, Arnia, acknowledge that, judged from a military point of view,General Ferron had no other choice left open to him but to arrest the once popular hero, and M. Francis Maynard in to-day's Figaro hits the nail exactly on the head and says what ninety- nine out of a hundred Frenchmen really feel. M. Maynard writes: “Ex-army officers demand that General Boulanger should be put on the retired list. 1 think the slight punishment that General Ferron has inflicted is much more spirtuelle and in exact proportion to the fault commit- ted. It required a head far strongerand far better ballanced than General Boulanger's to resist the avalanche of popularity that was showered upon him. When he denied hav- ing written the famous letters to the Duke d'Aumale he compromised, to my mind, the dignity of his profes- sion much more than his recent com- ments on acts of his superior officer, His friends tell us with tears in their eyes that he bows his head in silence before the pnnishment inflicted upon him but, great heavens, what else could he do? Suppose he resigned, why then he would no longer be a general, he would no longer have his famous black horse nor his white plume and even his beautiful beard would become merely a vivil- ians beard and be no longer of the slightest use to him. Non, non, he won't resign, He will come beck to Paris about eagter holi- days, perhaps cuen New Years day and the gobe menches of the capital will continue to admire themselves in the person of their hero made after their own image, like them- selves mediocre bavard and tapajeurs,” Quite a stir was made in American and English colonies in Paris by the news pub- lished in the New York Evening Telegram and cabled to the Herald's European editor about Messrs. Brentano's intentions of start- ing a branch establishment in Paris. This morning a Herald reporter, walking along the boulevard des Capacinis met Mr. Artrur Brentano just as the latter was buying a European Herald at the newspaper Kiosque in front of the Jockey club. Mr. Brentana was surrounded by several New Yorkers who asked him, “when is the great book shop going to start!” Bentane replied, “Very soon. I have just been hunting for premises. We mean business.” “Well,” was the respon- sive chorus, “I'm glad there's no misiake about it.” “Where do you think of settling? the re- porter asked. Brentane said, “I have not yet decided, ymewhere near the Place de 1' Opera. It’s the enly quarter now suitable. The Rue @' Rivolis is a thing 6f the past from our point of view. I have my eye fixed on the > to let next to the Herald.” The reporter asked, “When do you think of beginning operations, Mr. Brentane?" “Just as soon as ever I can rent a place Our stock could be here in about thi weeks.” “‘Have you found any wide felt want for a new bookseller here!™ “Yes, indeed. I have heard lots of in- quiries. At present, you know, there is not a single bookseller in Paris worthy the name, as T understand the term.” “Will you cater onlp for Americansi" “Oh, dear no. We will have books and papers for Englishmen, Americans, French- men, Italisns, Germans, in fact for cvery body. No expense will be spared. We mean business.” Mr. James G. Blaine, who is still en- trenched at the Hotel Binda, has deferred his journey south and is looking for private apartments in Paris. He looks far from well, In company with ex-Consul General Walker he dined the other day with Mr, Cernuschi, the well-known bi-metalist, who lives in his private museum filled with Japanese goods, Chinese idols, five clawed dragons and un- limited Buddhas overlooking the Parc Mon- cefn, Mr. Blaine also had a meeting with M. Clemenceau, whom I saw to-day in his sumptuous little apartment in the Rue Clem- ent Marot, “How did you get on with Mr. asked. “Very nicely, indeed,” replicd Mr. Clemen- ceau, with a pleasant smile, ‘“we talked about almost everything, and I found that Mr. Blaine has soue very sound ideas about European politics “Do you like Blaine as well as you like Gladstone?” I asked. Clemenceau replied, hard question to know Mr, parisons.” The marviage of Viscomte Bmn d'Harcourt with the Duchess de Castries came off very quictly to-day at the Chupelle des Catechismes and de Saint Clotilde. Only the fumilies and other relatives were present. he witnesses for the bridegroom were Duc de Charties and the Marquis Saint Aulaire, and for the bride, Prince George Mavroc dato and the Marquis d'Harcourt for the Duchess de Castries, who wore a simple but charming dress of faille grioperle, embroid- ered with sily nd a delicious little capote with a dazeling aigrette of silver and pearl grey ostrich feathers, Crowds of Americans were selecting beau- tiful furs and garments at Redfirm's yester- day. A wealthy Russian princess purchased @ real black fox and plain clue cloth evening wrap for 15,000 francs. Another pretty svening wrap was of pearl-colored plush lined with white Thibet and rolling collar of Thibet. The queen of Portugal had a blue electric cloth suit with white underskirt braided with gold and a pointed out- side piec in sleeves of white cloth braided with gold buttoned inty the sleves. A small pointed plasteron of white cloth braided in gold adorned the cor- sage. The costume was rich and handsome and something beyond the ordinary street gown, A togue cloth hat was with it with a brim of blue velvet braided in gold and two stiff gold patterns completed the costume, Among the others of the pretty street toilets was one for Margherita, queen of Italy. An olive green cloth suit trimmed with astrak- han. The jackets had a small cloth vest of red across which were cords of braid around the edge of the pocket were narrow bands of Astrakhan loops of military braid led from the right shoulder not unlike the Italian of- ficer's striking uniforms. The skirt was of plain green cloth and down the sides were broad stripes of Astrakhan over which they hung in long graceful folds, though v plain and simple.

Beruiy, Oct. —The French military scandal occupies the attention of both public and ofticial circles, It is impossible to deny that the revelation gratifies German senti- ment toward France, chiefly because of the disclosures of internal disorders and of cor- ruption and discord in places which help to 't the revanchist designs and even tend rd abating revance rancor: Gen- Boulanger's conduct is 8- pecially condemned by the whole press, whose opinion is practically unanimous that he hasi rably injured himself., Thi sciousness of newspaper opinion is not quite shared by official circles, where the re- surgance of Boulanger as a military leader of the radicals and revancists is predicted as the certain ultimate issue of the warfare of parties. General Boulanger's innocence of anything but an indiscretion s accepted here as unassailable. Another noteworthy aspect of the German feeling is the tendency of sympathy for the French people. The Vossiche Zeitung claims for the French as national qualities, morality, so- briety and industry, and says it would be unjust to hold them respousible for vicious social exerescence, The relations between Germany and Rus- sia are becoming more embittered, No mask is now worn on either side. The press of St. Petersburg and Moscow is now permitted to indalge in its natural disposition to abuse the Germans, The inspired press here is not backward in responding in kind, Diplomatic intercourse between the two governments is limited to unavoidable com- munications, which are exchanged with frigid civilities, Al Plymouth's Ten ry Preacher.

The Death of Judge Ellett at Memphis After Delivering the Address of Welcome a Tragic Incident. The President Gets Left. NasnviLLe, Tenn,, Oct. 15.—At McKenzie, Tenn., the president, Mrs. Cleveland and the postmaster general actually got left, the train starting gaily off for Nashville without them. McKenzie is a crossing of two roads and the train had to be switched from one to another on a “C.” When the train reached the station the mayor came aboard and told the president that a platform had been erected and the people were waiting to hear and see him. The president said that since they had made preparations he would o out and show himself, but wouldn't talk. Ac- cordingly he, his’' wife and Colonel Vilas alighted while the trein was being switched. The railroad people put the general mana- ger's car in between the engine and the vestibule train, and _when this was done started right offt from the opposite side of the depot, the manager of the railroad supposing the president and party were aboard. The train_had gone a mile down a stogp grade before the manager could bo roach®, and then, owing. o the light engine and heavy train, it took quite a little time to back up to_the station again. The party came aboard laughing, but the president said for the future he would con- fine himself to the getting off places indi- cated in the programme. All along the road great crowds were col- lected to sce the passing train and the usual demonstrations were made. At a quarter past 9 the train reached Belle Meade, six miles from Nashville, where ex-Senator (now judge) Jackson and his brother, General W, H. Jackson, entered the car and welcomed the president's party. The president, Mrs, Cleveland and_Colonel Lamont entered the carriage of General Jackson, to become his guests until Monday morning, while the ~postmaster gencral and wife, Dr. Bryant and Mr. Bissell accompanied the ex senator, The other members of the party proceeded to Nashville on the train and were quartered at the well house., Mr. John Himman, of New York, a well-known south- ern financier, by invitation, joins the presi- dential party here and will rémain with them until their arrival at Atlanta, Death at the Reception. Meyrnis, Tenn., Oct. 15.—Judge H. T. El- lett,who made the welcoming addressto Pres- ident Cleveland here this morning, died on the stand before the ceremonies were over. The tragic incident occurred just as Presi- dent Cleveland closed his remarks in response to the judge’s welcome. Though the day was not uncomfortably warm the spot. in the cen- ter of the court square where the speaker’s stand had been erected was an exposed one and Judge Ellett stood for a time with his hat off. As the president was speak- ing he sat down and was soon overcome with the heat. Dr. Bryant, of the presidential party, took direction of affairs and remained ith the gentleman while the president was escorted 20 the Cotton _and Merchant's Ex- change. - Jud@e Biatt died just fiye minutes after the president left the roviewing stand. The fach hias g0 far been kept frous the presi- dent. Judge Ellett was a man of high local re- pute. His speech which was not for Mem- phis alone, but for the whole_south, as a memorable one. President Cleveland's re- sponse was no less notable. The other as- pects of the occasion had combined t0° make the affair extraordinary in _all respects. The decoantions ble everythere, were more elaberate and general than those of any place visited by the president, with the possible exception of Madison ,and it was remarked that twice as many people were on the streets as had ever been seen in Memphis. In his speech welcoming the president Judge Ellett, referring to the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the formation of the constitution of the United States, in which the president participated,said: *“That the southern heart was in full sympathy with ting occasion, and that no where broad land will you find more loyalty to the constitution and fo the govern- ment created by it than among the people of southern states.” Speaking of the war and its results, Judge Ellett said the southern people have bowed to the stern logic of events until they have in a frank and manly way accepted the re- sult of the struggle as a final settlement of all questions in dispute, and they have since labored with rare courage, fortitude and cheerfulness to accommodate themselves to their new condition, to reconstruct their broken fortunes and o contribute as far as possible to the general prosperity and happi- ness of the whole country. In responding to Judge Ellett's address the president said: *“The patriotic sentiment ex- pressed in your behalf by your honored fe! low citizen'in his address of welcome, I am sure, I may say, will be generously responded by ur countrymen of the want, I believe, rest from tional bitterness,'and they know that the destiny of our country is only to be achicved by true union in sentiment, and in fecling, as well as in name. The business interests of the people are too alert and_intelligent to be sacrificed or injured by selfish appeals to passion which should be allayed. They only insist that all the results of the arbitration of arms to_which reference has becn made, shall be fully retained and enforced.” After leaving the stand the president drove to the cotton exchange where a reception to the public was held for an hour. The presi- dent and Mrs, Cleveland were assisted by Postmaster General and Mrs. Vilas, Fi the exchange the party was escorted to the train, and at 1 o'clock left for Nashville, When Judge Ellett sank into a chair in a fainting condition some confusion ensued, Dr. Bryant, assisted by Postmaster General Vilas and Colonel Robert ¢, caught was falling. Ser gentlemen of inment _committee aided in_the o restore b, as did also some of the ladies. Dr. Kennedy Jones came to the sistance of Dr. Bryant and the two worl with the prostrate form, but without ay President Cleveland, who had just fin- ished his address, stood looking at the efforts being made to_ restore the venerable jurist, with sad and sympathetic_counte- nance, while Mrs. Cley presidential part platform before Dr. Bryant aroso from over the body and said to an acquaintancy t us join the president’s party.” In answer to inquiries_as to_what was the matter with Judge Ellett, Dr. Bryant answered: fainted and has not recovered conscious- ness.” This was said to dispel the shadow of om that might otherwise been cast upon @ic festivities. The immense multitude did not know that death had come among them, and rushed after the president to the exposition, leaving to a few friends the sad duty veying she lifeless remains of the venerable,judge to his home.

They Cry Down a Play Because it Ridi- cules Boulanger. (Copuright, 1887, by James Gordon Belnett.) BegLIN, Oct. 15.—]New York Hera.d Cabla —Special to the Bee.]—German taste will not permit theatrical caricature of foreign officials, even though these officials are French, That is ubout the w the verdict on the play in Berlin, “In Wo und Bild,” reads, but it cost the Friederich Wilhemstad- ersche theater something like 100,000 marks to get the verdict. Last Saturday this theatre through the excitement of the French Fron- tier saw an excellent opportunity to put on the boards & new play with General Boulanger as a burlesque hero. To-day, af- ter a week of howling by all the Berlin orit. ics the burlesque was withdrawn indefinitely 80 damaged by the attempt to profit ever political excitement that the theatve m ager thinks it will be six months before his 100,000 marks costumes can be agaiu used in a reconstructed version of the play. T saw this afternoon the dramatistJacobson and askedhis opinion regarding the failure of his play. He evidently was a good deal puzzled by the dis§ aster us he had thought Boulanger would make an excellont draw. He said every- thing was well arranged. “Why, we spent 100,000 marks on costumes. Tastes are un accountable. My first expericnce was to have the police go through my play and strike out all lines of political import. The police said, owing to the excitement, they did not wish to visk giving offense. The French burlesque hero was made to resemble Boulanger but really after the play passed police censorship there was nothing left. Boulanger's part was the least offensive to France. The public would not wait to see this fact. The actor repre- senting Boulanger was not allowed to speak his part. The audicnce seemed determined not to allow such burlesquing. It was a sur- prise to me, as I thought all nations were pleased at seeing a little harmless ridicu cast at their neighbors. It is not so in Berlin, though. So we take off the picee to remodel it and bring it out again next year when the fury against it has worked off. No, in the remodeled play of the “Boulanger” all allu- sions to France will be left out.” At the theatre I have found a strong dis- position to discuss the reasons for the play's failure, but a very emphatic statement was made that “Boulanger” would not appear on their stage again. Among the critics as well as among the public generally T find strongly expressed views that it was an outrage to attempt to burlesque a leading French officer on the German stages. It is a source of comsiderable pride that in a city of Berlin's size Germans enough cannot be found to support a play cavicaturing & French general in a w which would be unpleasant for German, Molke to be caricatured. On the whole this theatrical episode, though costly for the theater, has considerable political value. Unless the contimied steady fall of Rus- sian sccurities can be properly called an event, Berlin has passed u week which leaves nothing worth registering. Russian se- curities have been dropping all week with monotonous steadiness in the face of well sustained prices for other stocks. There has been no panic or sudden drop in Russians, but each day's friction wears off 1§’ to 1 per cent in values with as yet no really {ust reagon, Why Russian values which have been hieid firm during the many war panics of the last year should i b slowly sinking is as unexplainable as is the sudden faii of Northern Pacific seconds. This stock dropped 13§ points in a single day and has been declining slowly since then although other issucs of the same road remain un- affected. While the stock exchange has been puz- zling over the fall in Russians scientific Ber- lin has been equally puzzling over the two tailless kittens which are interesting for the mother's sake. It scems the kittens’ mother, in some unexplained way, had her tail chop; ped off soon after they were born and these kittens have no vestage of tails, Therefore, of course, naturalists ask whether they are merely freaks or whether the mother's mis- fortune proved to be the kittens' los: el e WILL POWDERLY RESIGN? Trouble in the Knights Whiclw€auses a Hot Fight. MixNEAPOLIS, Oct. 15.—The report that General Master Workman Powderly had re- signed at 12:30 this morning created genuine surprise. It was not generally believed. Powderly was seen carly this morning. He emphatically denied having written his resig- nation. Regarding the lack of harmony among the members of the executive board which has been given out as the cause of the alleged resignation, Powderly refused to cx- press himself. Since the convention opened Barry and Bailey have been known to advocate every measure presented by the “antis.” This has been strikingly true of Barry. He took issiie against the administration when the anarch- ist question was being discusced, and made such a sensutional speech supporting the resolution that the gencral assem- bly protested. He also advocated the side of the ‘antis” in the fight over the Chicago stock yards strike matier. ase the “antis” were defeated by a asserted that Barry has been” making this fight on personal grounds. There is no doubt he and Bailey have many wars sonal friends among the delegates they have been working hard to hey knew a fight was to rid of them in ention and they preparations — for n. It is now on, and bit- promiscs o be. The litt)e doubt that the “antis” will be rou‘ed Although the press committee would take no report this noon, it is learned that the general assembly spent the forenoon in a red- hot discussion over the resolution introduce last night regarding the change in the man- ner of appointing the executive board, which was for < of providing for getting away with Barry and Baile It is under. stood that no decision has yet been reached. The situation in the general assembly to- night is unchanged, and it is now thought amination of the charges against the »xecutive board will not be Tuesday. Powderly de- that he has written his resignation, but it is generally believed that if not yet writ- ten its execution is imminent. A DIS. ot A Trestle Fired in Adva Presidential Party.

The fire was soon extinguished. The flames had not eaten dangerously far into the wood, and the trestle was still safe.
