He is Charged with Gross Incompe- t ‘e and Ignorance in the Ad. ministration of His Office— Thurman at Shelbyviile, A Reception to Blaine. Arvaxy, N. Y., Oct. 1h—Inclement iterfered somewhat with the dem here tod the arrival of Blaine, General A, P. H Corporal Tanner, General Adam E. King and A, Suenden, noon the rain abated and thousands of visitors from Louis. weather onstration Hon, James G, »ward ville, Ky, Jeffersonville, Charleston, Madi son, Corydon and other neighhoring points tramped about the muddy streets, At 9 o'ciock Blaine and General Hovey held a public reeeption atthe Windsor hotel, around which several thousard people clamored After shaking | for an hour, Blaine thanked the assemblage for the cordial we come extended General Hovey and himseif, and returned to ex-Congressman Culberson’s residence, where received many callers Auring the day. otwithstanding the un favori conditions, the street parade in the afternoon was declared by the citizens to be the largest and most imposing demonstration in the history of the city. Blaine reviewed the parade from the balconyof Mr. Cult son's residence. General Hovey and ( poral Tunner reviewed them coming dow town. ‘The procession was forty minutes passing Several thousand~ march ers were in line, A mass mecting was held at which it is estimated from ten to twelve thousand people were present. Blaine arrived at 3:30 and a8 given an ovation, He w in good voice and spoke sub: tlally as follows Mr. Chairman:— Last Wednesday, oshen, Ind., | stated that Mr, Hav president of the sugar trust, had app before the ways and means committee the tariff bill was up, and, according to Sen- ator Allison, had sccired’ arrangements by which 6,000,000 were put into the pockets of that trust. Mr. Mills, chairman of the ways and means commitiee, in a special card printed this morning in the Louisville papers, denies that Havemeyer ever appeared before the committee, or that any such arrauge- mentas | huve Spoken of was made for his ben efit. Tdo not know what Mr. Mills means by this denial it is that Havemeyer never apy before the full committeo when in regular session. If he means that he did_not appear before members of the committee in the committee room, then he is contradicted, not by myself but by, the Con- gressional Record On pige 6,503 of the Congressional Record for the current session, issucd on July 10, a debate is reported in which Mr. Brecken ridge of Arkansas, a member of the ways and means committee, admitted that he hg invited Havemeyer and his attorney to the room of the committee on_ ways and neans on the 12th of April to talk over the sugar tariffs, and Mr. Breckenridge of Kentuck another member of the ways and means com- mittee, admitted having met Havemeyer and his attornéy at another time. All that [ stated is substantiated by what T now quote, and in conscquence the sugar standard wa changed. No. 13, originally reported and printed in the tariff bill, was changed to No. J by the ways and means com- tee, and passed the house, and it was in this change * that tor Allison finds £6,- (00,000 which the committee put into the vockets of the trust, * 5 when 1 may Ir. Mills’ denials, if he chooses, that Havemeycr never appeared before him, but here were two members of the ways and means commit we who openly acknowledged that th had heard not only Havemeyer but his at- torney, and the attorney was siilled in every featuré of the sugar tariff, and not only knew what points were advantageous to the government but also knew still better what points wore advantageous to the trust. Tho atter points scem to have been adopted by the ways and means committee, though per- haps Mr. Mills know it. (Laughter and cheers. | 1 tind also in the paper to-day a report of a democratic meeting fn New York bofore which Fairchild, the sccretary of tho treas- ury, appeared to defend his policy of loaning 260,000,000 of the people’s moncy to certain pet banks without interest. His defense cousists chiefly in proving that I overstated the amount_ those banks could make out of the transaction. He says that I calculated interest on the whole £60,000,000, where: the banks are compelled to keep 25 per cent of itin their vaults. Poor banks! What hardships they have to endure! [Laughter and apnlause] 1 think that Fairchild's answer i positively amusing, and it recalls to me the soliloquy of the man who drew o $,000 prize in a lottery a fow years ago, when the was 10 deduct 15 per cont hefore paying the amount. * How iucky it was,” says he, *that 1 did not dr 20,000, It would have ruined me to pay the premium.” |[Laughter and cheers). Fairchild does not frankly and manfully confront the issue. He does not state to the people how the banks could afford to buy government bonds when the government itself could not afford it. If it was an advantageous proceeding for those banks to invest §60,000,000 in government bonds, why was it not stillmore ady. geous for the governmenttodoit? [Che 1 press this question upon Mr. Fairchild, for he has not answered why, if the banks could make 2 to 25 per cent on the purchase of United States 48, the treasury dopartment could not make as much [cheers], when by doing what the banks do he could have wiped out 0,000,000 of the pudlic debt. [Cheers.] 1 press this question because it is a pert questio General Harrison made o well grounded accusation and used a happy phase when ho accused the national adwinistration of nurs. ing the surplus. I Fairclild had invested the §0,000.000 in United States bouds it would not have appeared in the surplus, but i1 hie loaned it to pet banks it still appears as apart of the frightful surplus, to get rid of which the people must destroy the protec tive tariff. Chere 18 a very suggestive point bearing on that to which 1 beg Fairchild’s attention. Letween March 4, 15% and Juue 30, 18, one year and four months from Cleveland'’s inauguration, the surplus in the treasury increased 95,000,000, and the pub- lic debt was only this 850,000,000, §44, reduced §50,000,000. - Of 00,000 was compulsory purchase for the siking fund. A further act is revealed that there was at that very date $50,000,000 of 3 per cent bonds that could have been calledin at par, and they were left in the hands of private holders, drawing interest, and in order that the bug- ar of the surplus might be raised, and, as 1 Harrison says, “‘carefully nursed.” ) Islaine saia that when the Mr party came into parer four years ago it had democratic found no surplus at all, though duriug the campaien of 1554 democratic speakers had placed the alleged surplus at $400,000,000. “The policy of President Cleveland’s adminis- tration was to accumulate a surplus which could have been avoided by paying off bonas 85 they becatno dve, Mr. Blaino then smd; 1 believe, Mr. Chairman, that there never was an administration of the treasury depart- ment that showed so little practical ‘compre- hension of the condition of the country; one that bas been so filled and permeated With that offensive conceit which always marks the theoretical free trader. |Great chee ing.) Ismd before, and 1 repeat it now, that 1f @ republican secretary of the treas: ury had loaned §60,000,000 to “pet banks all over the country, without iutercst, the dem- ocratic party, if they controlled the house of represcntatives, would have moved to impeach 'him, and T believe it. {Cries of “That's 's0.”| 1 do not suy that the republicans would so treat Secretary Fairchild had they control of the house, be cause the republicans are not fond of violent methods, but are accustomed to proceeding with caution and moderation in public affairs. They dou't wish L iwpeach bim before the EIGHTEENTH YEAR. senate, but they impeach him before the ligh court of the people for having done that which was plainly against the pubiic inter- cst, and for having failed to respond to the precedent set by former scerctaries of the treasury in faithfully and constantly apply- ing the surplus to a reduction of the public debt Cheers. Mr. Blaine concluded with some references to the tariff and its relation to industrial interests in the vicinity of New Albany. In the evening there was a torchlight parade and General Hovey and Corporal Tanner addressed a laree audience at Mascotte hall. Mr. Blaine and bis party leave for Lafayette at S o'clock to-morrow worning, He speaks the Tippecanoe battle ground Wednesday afternoon Judge Thurman at Shelbyville, SueLnvvicie, Tnd., Oct. 15~ The train carrying Judge Thurman and party left Cin- cinnati at 8:30 this morning for the demo- cratic barbecue in this city. The train was oceupicd by 200 members’ of the Duck worth club, 150 members of the club of Cincinnati, and fifty membe ‘Thurman club of 'Columbus, besides large numbers of others. As the train pulled slowly through the yards it was greeted by the cheers of railroad men and the tooting of whistles. Outsideof the city the people sent up acheer as the train sped by, At Greensburg several hundred people were in waiting, calling for Judge Thurman, whose appearance on the platform was greeted with cheers. He spoke i few words to them,after which the train continucd on its way. Other cities en route grected the train with enthusiasm, and at Shelbyville the crowd was immense. Thurman was driven up town to the residence of John Beggs, where he reviewed the parade, which was over a mile long, After dining, Judge Thurman was driven ina carrinee drawn by gaily decorated gray horses through the crowded streets to the still_more crowded fair grounds. Fully 40,000 people were present and had gathered around the the three stands from which wong them hoes, General Black, Gov ernor Gray and others, Judge Thurman was received with much enthusiasm and spoke about as follows: “I am _thrice happy to see all around mo signs of victory in this state (great enthusi- asm and ‘You bet'), and victory in Indiana 1s the election of Grover Cleveland to the presidency of _the United — States, [Applause.] Now, my friends, [here Thurman produced his bandana, which was the other burst of applause), four years ago I b the honor to speak to a number of meetings in the state of Indiana. I was advocating the election of Grover Cleveland to be presi- dent of the United States. Our opponents d in the same contest, and wherever 1 went I heard their gloomy predictions of what would befall the country should Cleveland be elected president. [A voice: “We still live."] Everywhere they predicted rain to the business of the country. Everywhere they told us that the mills and factories and furnaces of the United States would shut down because they could not live under the administration of Grover Cleve- land. Everywhere they talked about the payment of the public debt, pensioning the rebel soldier, and the Lord knows what other evils their vivid imaginations did not portray to the peonlo to prevent them from voting for Clevelana for president of the United States. The people did not believe their sad pre- dictions, and they elected that man to the presidency: and now he has been presi- dent for a little over turce years and a half and what do we now hear! © Why, from these very same republican orators we hear itdeclared that the United States never was s prosperous as they are this day. [Ap- plause]. All their prophecies of ruin to the business of the country; all their prophecies in regard to the payment of the public debt: all ' their predictions of pensioning rebel soldiers; all their flaunting of the bloody shirt, has gone for nothing, and is only remembered to be ridiculed. [Applause. Triends, there never was a president who took his seat under more trying circum- stances than Cleveland did. The democratic arty had been out of power for nearly a quarter of a ccutury. Of course thero were democrats who thought that when we got a democratic administration every democrat in the land ought to have a good office. Of course there werc others who wanted no office, but had their own peculiar notions as to how the government should be conducted, and to meet and satisfy the wishes of the people, those who elected him_president of the United States, that man Cleveland had "hurman s of the prominent speakers held forth, being Senator Vo the hardest task that ever was encountered by a president, And how has he performed that tusk? The people's answer to that question is found in the fact that alter three years and a half of his admiistration the demo- cratic convention at St. Louis renominased him by a unanimous vote. Let me say once more that no dishonest man, no second rate man, and nobody but a great man, nobody but an upright, industrious, courageous man, cver yet was honored in this way, aod there- fore the answer to what is sald against Clevoland is: “Hehold, the American people bave spoken 1n his favor.” [Applause.| My friends, if I had time to do it 1 would like to say a few words upon a_subject that interests you so much, and which is talked of so much this year—tho question of the tarifl. What is the tariff] It s nothing in the wide world but a tax. Itis a tax levied upon you people, and when it is levicd for no other purpose than that of furnishing the government of a country with sufficient means to carry the governient on no man of any party makes any objection to It. Hut wlhien it is used, not for the purpose of rais- ing jn that way the necessary revenue for the government, but for raising willions and tens of millions, nay hundreds of millious of dollars or moro of reveaue for which the government has no legitimato use, then, my fricnds, the gavernment puts its hunds mto your pockets and robs you of your daily carnings, [Applause.] I say it 15 4 tax, and it 15 a tax paid in & most un equal degree by the poor man of the land. How is this tax paid! Does the tax gatherer of the United States come around and de- mand it of you on your farm and in your workshopt™ No, that is not the way. it is this way: Upon every article of foreign manufacture that is brought into your country for sale this tax is levied, 1t is col lected in the custom houses of the United States, 1t 1s first paid by the man who brings the goods Liere; and then, of course, he puts that tax upon the price which heé paid for the goods and sells it for that ereased price when he disposes of it to the merchants. Then when the merchant sells it to you here in this goodly city of Shelby- ville hie keeps on that tax in the price that he charges you forit. Otherwise he could not carry on his business twenty-four hours. Mr. Thurman adverted to the treasury surplus, and said that it was just so much money taken out of circulation) that is, just s0 much money which the people might use in their many business transactions and in supplying their daily wants, and so would use it were it not locked up idlein the vaults of the treasury. My [riends, continued he, our oppouents say that this tariff is for th benefit of the laboring man, as if it could possibly be for the ‘benefit of the laboring man to tax him on all he wears, on all his wife and children wear, on all the tools and implements of his trade, and wheun he dies rry him in a taxed cofiin'to his grave. No, tis simply an absurdity, The idea that a nation can be wade rich by heavily taxing its people far beyond what the necessities of the government require; the ilea that a man can be Dbettered by taxing him on all the nccessaries of life s nothing short of an absurdity. [Applause,] But the republicans state that the democrats propose to break down all the manufacturers in the country. My friends, they will do no such thing, They mean to give the manu- facturers a fair r{umc for am houest living, and when they do that they do all that an honest man can ask. They talk about our oppressing or being the enemies of the labor- ing man, Why, in the name of all that is true, of what manner of men is the democratic party composed! 1 have belonged to 1t ever since I was knee high to a duck, as we boys used to say. [Applause and laughter.] I have watched it, been of it, and seen it under many sud many wo administration, and al- ways I have scen that ninety-nine hundredths of the men who belonged to the democratic party are laboring men. [Applause and cries of “That's right. A Vum‘h “Not for a dollar a day, either, ot if they cau get more.” Applause. | OMAHA. TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16, 1888, RESULTED IN A SMALL RIOT. The Chicago Strike Settlement Fol- lowed by a Conflict. THE NEW MEN ARE ATTACKED. Some of Them Stoned and Badly Pounded, and a Hand-to-Hand Struggle Ensues—Run- ning the Cars. Trouble in Chicago. Caicaco, Oct. 15— (Special Telegram to Tue Bee. | —For the first time in many days street cars were running as usual in all parts of the city today. It appears, however, that the troubles on the North side are not quite settied. ‘There is much dissatisfaction among the strikers over the terms of agree- ment made yesterday with the wily Mr. Yerkes, and the result is that there arc many hints of another tie-up. A great many of the men are intense radicals and go on the whole-thing-or-none plan and are find- ing many listencrs to their arguments for anotner strike. A rcporter wmade trips on all the lines running on the North side this morning and questioned the old men. Not one of them was satisfied Wwith the terms of the settlement, “We cannot work with the new men," said one of the hot heads, “and as long as t work we will uot be satistied.” puld’scem that the above hint about another strike is not idle talk or the expres sion of & few radicals, for another conductor said that at a meeting to be held to-morrow a determined effort would be made to again tie up the whole North sidesystom. George Haminel is one of the few ‘conservatives of the old employes who counsels moderation. “I think there is a misunderstanding among the men,” he said to a reporter, re- garding the terius of scttlement. If the men will wait a few days and not be hasty every- thing will come out all right.” *“While the men Nave not obtained all they struck for originally, 1 cousider that in the settlement they have achieved a victory, said George A. Schilling this morning. astern Mr. 'Schilling returned from his trip yestorday morning, accompanie delegates from district assembly 2 controls the surface lines of New York and Brooklyn. “I think it was @& sig- nal victory,” he continued. ‘It i one of tho greatest in labor circles within the past twelve months, The men seem to be satisfied, and that should be sufticient for all of us.” “What will the uniou do regarding the new men! Will they be accepted as members, should they proffer their names, or will the union buy them off and send them to their homes " “That, of course, T cannot say,” was the reply. “It remaind with the old 'omployes. Those are problems that usually solve them- selves, however.’! At ahout 6:30 o'clock this morning one of the new men, a young fcllow whose name could nov be' learned, was passing along in the rear of the barns. ' Suddenly four of the old employes jumped upon him and began beating him. He was kicked in the back and stomach and struck in the face, and pretty roughly handled. Finally he ' suc- cecded in drawing his revolver. ilis assail- ants fled and he pursued them. He fired four shots at them, one of which struck one of the pursued ten in the fook The man shot was ufterwards arrested and Yecognized as a driver named_Burley. The police are after the others. Burley’s wound, painful, is not dangerous, oro was & serious riot on the North side early this morning. The old employes were at the Racine and Clybourn avenue barns this moruing, bright and early, with their uni- forms on, and, as they understood, to take their cars out 08 usual or clse get some in- formation as to where they werc to go to work. They knew that some of the men were to be discharged, and that some of the men were to be retained on the road, but as to how many, or who they were they did not know. Superintendent Shredoy was als on hand, but took no pains to enlighten the old employes.us to what would be expected of them. The first car left the barn at6:04 o'clock in charge of two new men. The old employes stood about in the drizzling rain and saw seven cars _leave the barn, all in charge of new men, The old men were being ignored entirely and they so0n began to express their dissatisfaction. They applied at the barn door, but were in- formed that their places were to be filled by new mea. ‘One hundred and five of the old force applied for work. In the interior the new employes were massed and_ready to go on the trip. The refusal incensod the strikers, who anticipated that the trouble had all beon adjusted. They grew ugly and turned away, muttering and sulky. = Along the curbing 'of the streets in the vicinity they stood waiting for the cars to move, When the third car reached the corner of Osgood street a sortie was made upon it. Enraged men climbed upon the platforms. A huge bowlder struck the driver in the side. Four men grappled with him, but he concluded that safety necessitated spcedy devarture, and ran. The con- ductor was attacked by eight men, and, secing that he was compietely surrounded by the mob, he entered and sat_down. He was instantly picked up and pitched headlong into the street. The stoppage of the first car brought the remaining three of the set of six to a stand still, and the assailauts proceeded to handle the men furiously. Rocks con- tested possession of the foggy atmosphere with the drizzling rain, aud everybody soemed to be yelling and swearing, The scene was of the wildest description. Men with blood streaming from their faces were seen scattering from the cars, chased by the mob, which had at this time been worked up to the most intense passion. It lasted but a few minutes, and when the cars were abandoned the crowd fell back, leaving them standing on the track. Tue employes ran back into the barn, and when the call for the police, which had been sent in 10 the Halsted street station, was responded to, there were littlo evidences of the riots perceptible, Five men, however, four of whom were from Philadelphia, were nursing bruised heads in the dormitory of the barn, some of them suffering from ugly contusions used by bricks and clubs. 1t was not long, however, before the run- ning of the cars was resumed, and soon twenty were making the trips. Louis Hen- dricks, one of the rioters, was arrested and taken to the Halsted street station. He jumped on the platform of the last car and threatened the conductor with a revolver, ‘The cars were at once placed under the pro- tection of two officers, one each on the frout and rear platforms. Last night the result of the conference be- tween Mr. Yerkes and his men was pretty generally known, and the fact that all the new men would be put on the Garfield ave- nue line spread like wild fire. The indigna- tion of the citizens knew ne bounds, and all those who live along the route of that line who were in_sympathy with the old men at once began making preparations for making it as uncomfortable for the new men as pos- sible. Asa result of their work Garfield avenue and Center street this morning pre- sented @ sight that delighted the hearts of the ex-strikers and their sympathizers, Thesc two thoroughbfares were blockaded as they were never before with old wagons, stones, planks, and the heaped up ashes of huge jolification bonfires built last night. These obstructions extend for blocks. Later in the day a number of the old em- ployes congregated at a saloon opposite the car barns and drew up arequest for a special mecting to be held at midnight to-night. This was the result of their treatment this worning. Thirty-six names were signed 1o tue request and it was forwarded to Master Workman Christie. They would not ordi- narily have sent this request, but they had received no information from Mr. Threedy s to where they were to go to work and they bad grown disconsolate. When Yerkes heard of the troubles he issued the following proclamation : To the Old Employes of the North Chi- cago Street Railroad Compan City—~ Sirs: From what transpir this morn- ing it appewrs - you Lave uoV been informed by your eommittce of the arrangements yesterday in regard to your coming back into the employ of the company, It was this, that there were to be certain barns set apart for the new men, and that you are to work from the oshers. The barns given to the new men are the Kroger street barn and part of the limits barn. The old men who have been in the former barn, and also those whose places have been filled at the limits, should be divided around at the others, and the men there should be will ing to divide up the work with them, if the want to treat these men fairly and carry ont the spirit of the agreement. Tuere is an effort being made to drive the new men from their places, and & number have been assaulted this morning. I can only say to you that for every man who is driven away a new one will be put in his place. Respe fully, Crances T. Yerkes, President. e’ Aoy IS STONE WEAKENING? He 1s Said to Have Made Overtures for a Settlement of the Strike. Cnicaco, Oct, 15.—The statement is pub. lished here that sometime ago tho grievance committee of the Brotherhood of Locomoti Engincers hold a secret meeting, at whic General Manager Stone, of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, was present, and that it was by his request that the mect- ing was held,as he expressed a desire of con- ferring with the men. Mr, Stone is said to have conceded all points asked by the men except the classification system. He aiso agreed to take back five hundred out of the seventeen hundred that wentout. The men were fighting for the classification system and therefore no settlément was arrived at. A second conference was held, at which Stone promised to pay the men the standard wages as paid on otheff roads, and to take back all the wen who stkuck, but is still firm as to giving in to the dlassification system. He promised to think the matter over, but nothing has been heard from it yet. This, it is said was the state of affairs when the Chicago delegates to the brother- hood convention to be held in Richmond, Va., left for that city last night. 1t is as- sutwed that their position will have weight with the convention on the question of con- tinuing the strike or declaring it off. At the offices of the company this morning it was denied that Manager Stone had attended any meeting of the brotherhood. ——— That Battle With Bay Rum.

Mra. Dougherty's Case. Wasnixarox Buneau Tiie Ouaia Bee, ) 513 FOURTEENTIU STREET, Wasnixaros, D. C,, Oct. 15, § ‘“The president is an infamous libeler when he goes down into this poor woman's private character to meet a political 1ssue,” ex claimed Senator Blair, in the senate afternoon, while discussing the veto of the pension bill of Mary Ann Dougherty. These words, spoken with unusual vigor and in high tones, created a trifle of a sensation, and the ears of everybody within the sound of his voice were pricked to catch the sentence which followod. It was: “There hus been a degree of connivance against this poor woman by the mercenaries of this administration which would put to shame the very denizens of the pit itseif.” There bave heen very bitter denunciations of the administration and the presid during to the present session of congress, bt these were more attractive than any that have been uttered. After a few moments of hard breathing and mufled applause in the galleries there was a stillness which was almost painful in the senate chamber. Sen ator Blair was very determined and elo quent, He continued to declare that for the purpose of making a political point the agents of the administration,bent on backing up the president’s veto, had terrorized the employes of the government wherein the friends of Mrs. Dougherty have attempted to procure evidence that she was really em- ployed in the arsenal here during the war at the time the explosion occured which did her severe injury. The senator said that not only had Mrs. Dougherty been denounced by the president, asa vile character, but that her friends who had testified in her be- half had been traduced,villificd and denouncd He said that every charge against her had deen_disproved, but that if they were true it offered the president no excuse for maligning her private character simply to prove that she was not an employe at’ the arsenal at the time of the explosion and that she was not injured by the accident. WEST VIRGINIA MAY GO KE Postmaster General James turned from a speaking tour of West Vir ginia to-night. He says of the outlook in that state: “Republican speakers are everywher greeted by large audien fully one-third being democrats who like to hear the taviff and the administration discussed in all their phases. The democrats there listen pu- tiently to republican reasoning. Now, for the first time in my knowledge, 1 think we have a not only a good show of electing the legislature and General Goff for governor, a;n.u( securing Harrison and Morton elec: rs.’ WINNERS IN THE AKMY SHOOT. The adjutant zeneral has just published the names of the winuers of prizes by mem- bers of the army rifle teams at the competi- tion held at Fort Niagara, New York, last September. The seven victorious prizemen have in consequence of their achievements been transferred to the class of ‘‘distin- guistied marksmen.” Twelve men entered the contestand they represented the artillery, cavalry, infantry and engineer corps branches of the service. Six of the prizes were captured by cavalrymen and the sev- enth by an infantryman. ‘The first prizeman was a sergeant, the second a corporal, the third a private, the fourth a first licutenant, the fifth a sergeunt, the sixth a second lieutenant and the seventh (skirmish prize) a corporal. The result showsthat the non- commissioned ofticers took the majority of the prizes. The prizemen were from sta- tions in the west and their marksmanship shows that they can haudle the ritle with great cfficiency. The orders contain five tables, which give the records made in the annual competition. The Division of the Pacific leads the scores, the total being 871, The Division of the Atlantic follows with 533 points and the Division of the Wisconsin with 530. Of the twenty-one marksmen transferred to the ‘'distinguished class” for 1888, cightcen are non-commissioned officers and three are commissioned oftficers. The prizes given were gold and silver medals and they are very handsome trophics, Among the winners were First Lieutenant M. W. Day, of the Ninth cavalry, who se- cured the fourth prize, a silver medal. In 1884 Lieutenant Day won a gold medal. His score at Fort Niagara was 520, while his score four years before was 470, LOOAL PARAGRAPHS. Mrs. Ada M.

WasniNaroN, Oct. 15—The Sioux chiefs appeared at the interior department to-day. cretary Vilas assured the Indians that he was glad tosee them, and requested that they proceed to state their objections to the new Sioux reservation. As the secretary took his seat Sitting Bull stepped forward, and, after shaking bands with the secretary, commis- sioners and others, said: “My Friends: Ihave but a few words to say. Icall you my friends because I am one of your people. 1 belong to this government, As we have our own views of this new law we wish to speak to you as man to man, 1 hope everything will be done in a quiet man- ner. This s all I have to say.” John Grass, who is sometimes spoken of as the premier of the Sioux nation, was the next speaker. The other speakers were Mad Bear, White Ghost and Drifting Goos: When the Indians finished speaking, the sc retary said that all the specches had been faithiully written down aud would be laid before the president, who would give a car: ful consideration to the matter, Whatev: decision was reached, the secretary added, would be announced to tnem on Wednesday He hoped that they would at that time be pre pared to say whether they would approve or disapprove of the decision which would then be wade kuown, e Army Order Wasmixaroy, Oct. 15.—|Special Telegram to Tue Bee. |—Private Joseph Dunn, Battery D, Second artillery, now with his battery, and having enlisted while a minor, without the consent of his pareuts or guardian, is dis charged the service, Private Peter Marguars, United States mil: itary academy detachment of artillery, now at West Point, N.

[Copyright 1585 by James Gordon Bennett.] ATnesees CLus, Loxnos, Oct. 15.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bre.] Sir Morell Mackenzie expeets, am told, to 000 by his book to-day fssuced. 1f 0 he will be disappointed. The bookse orders are heavy, but when the public ascor- tain that the greater part of the work con si1sts of a medical controversy, very technical in its nature, they will not be eager to buy it. On Friday evening the most interesting portions could be bought for a penuy or two, thanks to the enterprise of the Herald. Some ot the London papers borrowed those ex tracts on Saturday morning. How the Herald managed to obtain them in advance of all the world must perhaps remain one of the wys. teries of its journalism, Mackenzie's publishiers almost had a fit when they found what the Herald newsboys were selling. They had disposcd of what they called “the exclusive rights for large sums and put out their placards in every town in England only to find that in these days an attenpt to ereate shape of “exclusive rights” break down if an cnterprising paper is around. ‘The only safe course is to deal with the public opeuly und above board all along the line. Having already seen the substance of the book in the Herald, what do the people say aboutiti So faras I can form a judgment, they say that it would have been quite as well if Sir Morell Mackenzio had let the whole thing alone. The attacks of the G man doctors were doing him no harm. Every body knows how physicians love one an other. Mackenzie necded no vindication, and if he had not puolished one he would have lost nothing in public esteem. What good purpose can be served by all these painful details about the canula” and the trachoea and Bergmann's abortive struggle with the tubef When are the going to let the ill-fated emperor rest in his grave in peace! Bismarck is doing his best sccrate that grave. The emperor’s own son cither looks on with approval or activel assists. The doctors are getting up a vulgar brawl, much resembling a free fight, around it. Bergmann and Bramann will fire off avoliey in reply to Mackenzie. There are pretty sure to be law suits and clouds, and the darkness which fell so heavily upon the emperor in the last year of his life will still pursue his meinory. What had he done to deserve such a fate! Sampson, Lowe & Co. are today privately threatening ven- geance on all the newspapers which they accuse of iufringing their copyright, If they bad known what was comingthey might have procured an injunction against the Paris edition of the Herald, but they are powerless now. The secret had to come out. The pub- lic had been looking for a highly dramatic account of the late emperor's sayings and doings during the monuths Mackenzie at- tended him. They now see that what is offered them is merely a professional record of a case such as the medical journals pub- lish every week. It is not the fault of the newspapers which anticipated the formal publication of the book if there has been a graat cry and little wool.
