HE OMAHA THE SEARCH FOR STANLEY. Failure of Bioyclist Stevens' Efforts to Find Him. 'HIS WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN. ) — A Belief That the mous Explorer Has Worked Long Enough Yor Glory and Now Wants to Make Monecy. No News of Stanley. LCopyright 1959 by James Gordon Bennett.) Zaxzinar, Oct. 14.—[New York Herald ORble—Special to Tur Bee |—Thomas Stevens, the bleyclist, who, after making a tour of the world on his wheel was sent to Africaby a New York gift enterprise con- cern to “discover” Stanley, has returned were and has failed to find any trace whatever of Stanley, His mission is a com- plote flasco. The man who was employed by achurch mission society and who left the southern end of Lake Victoria Nyaoza on March 30, has arrived here and is positive thot Stanley has not been anywhere in thav quarter. The church mission people believe this man’s information completely trust- worthy. The impression here is that Stan- ley has done éncugh for glory, anJd that this time he proposes to avail himself of the large boodle of ivory that exists in central Africa, When he does come he will appear with enough ivory boodle to support him during his life. Lo R BIG GUN The Krupp Factory Saia to Be Manu- uring a Monster, [Copyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennstt.| LoxnoN, Oct. 14.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bre.]-—A report re contly went the rounds of the press to the effect that the wellknown gun makers, Messrs, Krupp, at Bssen, in Germany, have on board siip at Hamburg for the fortific tions of Cronstadt a mouster piece of ord- nance weighing 235 tons. The length of this gun is said to bo 40 feet, its calibre 135 fnches and diameter 614 feet, while we aro further told that its range 18 cleven miles and that a four feet long projectile, weigh- ing 1,400 pounds, was fired from 1t with 700 pounds of powder and penetrated 101 inches of armor. In the first vluce there is no 235 ton gun in existence. In tho second, when there is we may expect from it better results than have been attained by its predec r. Krugg’s largest gun is said to weigh 150 ton: It is not quite 48 feet long, and with 1,2 pounds of powder can throw a projectile of 8,500 pounds through sixty inclies of wrought wron. The same firm has also manufactured or desizned guns of 139 and 119 tous, the latter for the fortifications at Spezia, in Italy. ¥or A, much better rosults, however, even than those credited this apocryphal gun, we can look in England, The Armstrong is a 180- ton gun mounted. The Duetio, an Italian wan-of-war, is thirty-nine feet long and its calibre soventeen inches. It can throw a 2,000-pound projectile with 100 pounds of powder through twenty-nine inches of wrought iron. This record beats the imag- inary gun and the Armstrong. The 105 and 110-ton guns carried by the Lauria, Doria, Benbow and Vietoria now give as good or better results. Designs for a gun of 1 tons are* said to be in the ro gun factory at Woulwich. The rage large guns, however, is dying out, and everything points to smallor guns being used in preference, both afloat and ashor The British sixty-seven-ton gun puts a 1,200- pound projectile through three feet of armor, The French forty-seven-ton gun, with an 1,800-pound projectile, can pierce uearly the same thickness and its range is eleven and o haif miles, while this again is Jess than that of the nine-inch British gun which was used o fire the jubileo range at Shocburyness in 1857, for e BERVIAN AFFALRS. The Present Divorce Court Dynasty in Danger of Being Bounced. LCopyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennett.) Viesya, Oct. 14.—[New York Herald Cable—Speceial to Tur Beg.]—The sudden shift of diplomatic opinion presages a non- interfering policy in Servia which it is ex- pected will soon kick out the present divorce court dynasty and take up the pretender, Peter Carageorgwicn, Views emanating from the Count Kolnocky circle not long ago showed @ purpose to support the Obre- novick house against a possible revolution with tho Austrian arms. Now. the same mouth pleces, circulating in high places, say Austria's wisest course would be to pre- serve a neutral front, as the entrance of Austrian troops into Belgrade would be the signal for a Russian advance on Bulgaria, “Should Servia be puv to further mortifi- cation by the conduct of the royal famly,” sald an agent of one of the Balkan states to your correspondent to-day, “both Natalio + and Ler precious son will bo taken across the river and lo stand the present woings on more than a fortuight. The restoration of Carageorg- wicn and the adoption of a new constitu- tion might be brought about with as little disturbance as must attend any attempt to legislate Milan's family into peaccfulness, B8 tho cause under which he maintains con- trol of the young king can only be annulled by a constitutional congress, e A Dinner to Frincess Sophie.

Cnicaco, Oct. 14,—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee|—~Three years ago Hon. C. H. Harrison was mayor of the city of Chicago. Pandering to the lawless element, he per- mitted the provaganda of anarchy to grow unchecked until the empty vaporing of Anglo-German oratory resulted in the Hay- market massacre. Mayor DeWitt C. Cre- gier scoms disposed to profit by the example of his unfortunute democratic predecessor. When a convention of people comes into Chicago to act like Americans,’ said Mayor Cregier this morning, in referring to the ut- terances of yosterday, “they can have the town. But when a lot of men who make a liv- ing off Americans zather together and heap msult after insult on the American flag, [ think it time to call a halt. 1 know nothing about the meeting of the sociulistic labor party yesterday except what I have read in tho newspapers, but if what the papers re- port is true, then I think the organization as a body onght to be drummed out of town When any organized body will hiss and hiss san flag when 1t is unfolded in their presence and grow very enthusiastic in their applause when the bloody colors of a red flag are unfolded, T think it” time some action was taken, and prompt action at that. » have no use for such people who claim to be citizens of the United States after this, Such language us it is aileged was used yes- teraay by Schievitch is scandalous.” The language was as follows: 1t was the greatest crime of this country to_execute an anarchist, My fervent hope is that Chicag will yet be the Paris of America, the city of revolutions, and that the red Hag will yet be carried triumphantly through ber streets.” “I add,” continued the magyor, *‘that such organizations as will make use of ti lan- guage out to reccive what they merit—n good drumming outof the United States, T Lave no use for such pecple,” and the mayor gavo the book he had been reading a re- sounding stroke against the desl. It is safe to predict that any attempt of the anarchists at incendiary open air meetings will be promptly suppressed. pt et E THE BPISCOPALIANS, Mormonism Puzzles the Bishop of Utah and Nevada, Nrw Youx, Oct. 14.—At to-day's session of the general convention of the Eniscopal chureh the discussion of the resolutions for a jomt committee to prepare a standard prayer book for 1802, on proportionate repre- ntation and the question of the selection of psalms, was postponed. 'The house then pre- pared to receive the house of bishops for the discussion of missionary work. The missionary meeting bezan at 11:30 and several addressos were made, among them one by the missionary bishop of Utah and Nevada. In Utab, he the Mormon question is far from settled. When he fiest went out taere he thought he knew some- thing about it, but now, after years of worlk, he confessed that it puzzled him. The com- mittee to whom was referred the report of the board of managers of foreign and domes- tic missions regarding the proposed 81,000, 000 endowment which failed in its purposs, suggested that the money be returned to the subscribers. This mattér was laid over. The committee on colored evang:lization moved that $10,000 be appropriated for the committeo for the ensumg two years. Carried. The Congregationalists. Worcrsten, Mass., Oct. 14.—In the Con- gregational council to-day the temverance resolutions reported from the committees were adopted. They were conservatively worded, and & motion to substitute *‘legal’’ ,efforts ‘for “logitimate efforts was lost. Resolutions asking an_increase in the num- ber of army and navy chaplains was adopted. The business of the convention practically finished at the afternoon session. he question of closer union with odist Protestants was referred to the com- mitteo in charge of such matters. A dele- gation to_attend the international ~council was appointed and . proposition to exhibit the advancement made 1n congregational- ism, at the exposition in 1502, was referred 1o the provisional committee with power to act.

Piene, 8. D, Oct. 14.—|Special Telo gram to Tue Brr]—Politics, real estate speculation and mammoth building aro turn- ing things vopsy-turyey in Pierre to-day. Every member and oficial of South Dakota's first legislatur is on tho spot, and tho largost crowd of people ever brought to- gether in Dakota is hera now. Out of the general chaos of . political potpourri one thing is certain—R. F. Peutigrew is one of the chosen for United States senator. Next to him G. 5. Moody undoubtedly stands the best show, whilo both Edgerton and Wardell are working hard to_oncompass his defeat and sccure the prize thomsclves. “The situation is peculiar, Wardell claims sixty former members of the legislature, but is uncertain whether he has any more. Moody has a divided strength with Edger- ton, butit cannot be ascertained which is the strongest, but should Moody haveenough to fix him Wardell will doubtless go to Edgerton, An attempt is being made to organize a caucus to-night in Moody’s interests, and should it succeed his followers claim heo will come through with flying colors, out it is doubtful if it can be organized. This caucus should also decide the speakorship of the house, which up fo this time 18 all at sen. To-morrow will doubsiess tell who will be Pottigrew's mate fn the United States sea~ ate. Must Conform to the Letter. ST. Pavr, Oct 14,—A special from Pierre, 8. D., says the question as to whether the legislature must conform to tie lotter of the law of congress in its election of senators has been considered by many legal gentle- men. The concensus of opinion is that as South Dakota is not actually a state it is ob- ligatory upon the legisature to wait until the second Tuesday ufter organization be- fore proceeding o a senatorial eloction, However, a caucus will be held Tuesday night to uominate candidates aad the elec- tion will occur Wednesday. and Thursday according to form prescribed by law.

TWENTY-ONE BALLOTS TAKEN. Voting Takes Place Without the Us- ual Long-Winded Nominating Specches—The Proceedings of a Lively Oharacter. The Congressional Conventlon. HAsTINGS, Nob, Oct. 14.—[Special Tele- gram to Twe B —Hon. H. Bostwici, chairman of the central committee of the Seeond congressional district, catled the con- vention to order at 5 o'clock sharp. The Kerr opera house was well filled, but not crowded. In a few words the chairman stated the object of theconvention and asked for the reading of the call. At the request of Sceretary Stark this was read by I G, Simmons, editor of the Seward Reporter, and further pleasures were called for. George P, Rliea, of Phelps, nominated Dr. E. B. Guile, of Holdrege, for temporary chairman, and he was eclected by acclama- tion. On taking the rostrum he expressed the hope that the convention would act dis- passionately in the work of the evening, be ruled by harmony and enablo the district to breuk past records at the polls. Con- cluding, he called upon Rev. H C. Harman, who led the convention in prayer, W. J. Waite, of Filimore, George S. Bishop, of Red Willow, and Walter Hopper, of Chase, were nominated and elected tem- porary secretaries, A. L. Clark, of Adams, then introduced a resolution asking that a committce of seven bo appointed to draft resolutions expressing the sorrow of the state and the district over the death of Congressman Laird, Clark of Adams, Barsby of Fillmore, Scott of York, Carnes of Seward, Wells of Saline, Cheney of Webster and Jennings of Red Willow were appointed. Power was also delezate d to this commitiee to draft such other resolutions as might be thought best. The report of the committee on credentials followed. The state convention precedent settled the Chase county contest and the Mecker delegation was admitted to seats, Webster county wrangled over the admis- sion of a proxy. This was settled amiably, however, and the contestant, L O, Martin, was given the vote of an absentee of the delegation, Adjournment was then taken o'clock. On reassembling Mayor Yoenm was intro- duced and welcomed the del2gates to the city of Hastings in a very neat speech. Judge Post took the floor and moved an informal vote without nominating speeches The result was as follows: Laws 70, flastings 34, Harlan 37, Webster 16, Baker 13, McPheely 17, Jensen 19, Novval 21, and Newcomer 10. On the formal ballot gained 9 votes, Hastings7, Pheely 2 and Baker 3. I'he three succeeding ballots passed with result that varied but little, On the fifth ballot Kearney county broke for Laws and a stampede to him seemed im- minent, Pandemonuem broke loose. Cries for Laws, Hastings and Webster alternated, An occasional Harlan boomer, however, could be heard in the din. From 93 votes Laws increased to 106 on the ninth ballot and Hastings to 63. But slight change alternated in the vote of the other candidates, Clay county made a break to- wards Laws on the tenth ballot,but the result remained u d. Hastings’ friends undertook to createa stampede here, but it failed, He lost two vote Webster's following moved along m the even tenor of its way. Ballot followed ballot with but few changes. Laws fell to 98 voteson the four- teenth ballot. Clay county commenced to monkey and in a measure redeemed herself from the imputations that she had been “seen” by the roads. Her voto was distributea rather among the canlidates, Baker gaiued ,2 votes. There were loud cries for Harlan, He gained 10 votes and Hastings lost 10, On the seventeenth ballot the York band worked Thayer county for a solid vote for Harlan, He polled 49 votes, gaming 6, I'he conventional stampede was the order, but it faited to connect, and Harlan was laid upon the shelf for two years. Webster gained 12 votes on the nineteenth ballot, but otherwise there was no material change. On the twenty-first ballot Webster county voted solid for Laws, and no sooner had York county announced her vote than_ Clay changed its' five votes to Laws. Jefferson followed with thirtecn, Phelps with nine and Adams with the balance of her vote. On the avnouncement of tho vote—1s5 for Laws—a wrangle arose over the legality of the nominaticn, To settle this the c: again made, with the following resul Liaws 130, Harlun 20, Webster 10, Jensen 14 aud Hastings 23, York, IMilimore and Saline counties died with their favorite son.

It com- prises the presiding efficers and general exccntive boards of the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor. All were present_except Powderly, who will bo here before the conference concludes. They will consider the eight-hour movement. The federation wants the Knights to join in a general demand for a shorter working day, while it is said Powderly would like to have action deferred until after the session of the general assembly next month. The present condition of the eight hour movenient received full discussion. The Knights representatives stated that tho exocutive board could do nothing until the meeting of the general assembly, when tho local assemblies, which have been advised of the matter, will take action. The representatives of federation said that letters had been sent to representative men secking ‘heir opinion on_ the subject, and the replies were neariy all favorable. The Knights agreed promptly to advise the federation of its action in general assembly. The relations of the $wo orders wero then discussed with a view to harmonizing their interests und preventing further disagree- ments, The knights proposed a mutual ex- change of working cards, mutual recognition of frade labels and the adoption of a rule to prevent one body from recoguizing suspend- ed or expelled members in thie other. The federation propesed that the knights discourage the formation of trade organiza- OCTOBER tions within_the order, the promise being that the federation would urge members of unions to connect themselves with mixed assemblics of knights. = It was agreed that the matters thus referrad to siould form the subject of a conferengo to take pluce next month, Arthur Opposed to Federation.

Cnicaco, Oct. 14.—At 10 o'clock this morning Judge McConnell's branch of the criminal court was culled to order and the court announced the only business to be transacted was the appointment of a special bailiff to summon veniremen in the Cronin case. Judge McCcennell said that Bailiff Car- olan, who had been domg that work, had resigned on acconnt of ill-health. In Carolan’s stead the court appointed Charles L. Bonney, a youug business man of Ameri- can birth and ancestry, Concerning Baliiff Carolan, morning paper says the appearances are against him in con- nection with the jury bribing matter, iu that he actually summoned two of the men who had been bribed. The paper adds that Caro- lan had always*born a good reputation and and that in this case he may merely be the victim of circumstances. States Attorney Longenecker says that Bailiff Carolan has made a statement of the circumstances under which he summoned the two “fixed” veniremen and that his statement is perfectly satisfactory and ex- onerates him from all suspicion in the mat- ter. There are all sorts of rumors as to the identity of the alleged “‘prominent citizen” who was taken into custody last nignt, and the names of well-known lawyears are men- tioned, one of whom, 1t_is sugiested, may be the man, The authorities are dumb on the mat Jeremiah O’Donnell, United revenue gauger, under arrest in con- nection with the Cronin bribing con- spiracy, gave bail this morning in $5,000 and was released from custody, In Judge Baker's cqurt to-day a special grand jury to further investigate the charge of jury bribing was sworn in. S. B, Case was chosen foreman of the jury, which is composed of well known citizens, At 20’ k the erand jury returned an in- dicunent against John Grabam, clerk in the oftice of A. S. Trude, as well as true bills against the six men ndicted Sarurday. Cra- bam was arrested Sunday mght about 12 o'clock and has been under lock and key ever since. Ho was the man who was to put up the money with which to bribe jurors, and it is nsserted by Judge Longenccker that the evidence against him is very conclusive, After presenting the indictments the grand jury adjourned for the afternoon, but the o's attorney says the ouse by ho means ds with the present indictments, but will be more far reaching than the most sanguine can supposo. Other indictments may be cx- pected to follow in short order. When the matter is ripe the state's attorney or one of his ussociates will give the details to the re- vorters of another branch of the jury bribing conspiracy. A startling rumor to the effect that John I, Beggs bad made a full confession which had disclosed to view the jury bribing plot in all its details prevails, Said one of the state’s attorney's assist- ants to-day: *‘Bailiffs Soloman and Banks and Tom Kavanagh nave sgreed to tell all they know regarding the plot. Wo are sure, therefore, of reaching he head and front of the couspiracy,” The excitement aroun building was so intense this afternoon that it was found necessary 1o Bar the outer doors, The court met at 2 p. m./but its procecdings were uneventful, The work of securing o jury was resumed from the venire men sum- moned by the new lift appointed this morning. The indictments roturned by the grand jury this afterngon is & joint bill against Jobhn Grabam, Mark Selomon, Alex L. Hanks and Fred W, Smith, But little information about Graham could bo secured at the oftice of Lawyer Trude, where Graham has a detl. The other occu- pants were surprised to liear of his conuec- ton with the case. It was learned this evening that Graham i8 the supposed “prominent citizen” whese mysterious ar rest last night gave rise to 80 wany surinises, He guve bonds 1 $10,000 and was released, States the criminal court — e merson's Grave Disturbed, CoNCORD, Mass., Oct. 14.-Yesterday afternoon at Sleepy Hollow cemetery it was discovered that the grave of Ralph Waldo Emerson had been disturbed, - It was found the grave had been opencd duriog Saturday night, but whether the remains have been taken or not is not known b present, as the authorities are awaiting the rewurn of Dr, “dward Emersony the philosopher's son. ‘The undertaker-hero is autbiority for tho statement thabglthough thd caskel was uu- covered, it was Bot opened. . .

IT WILL BE A PRECEDENT Noble's Decision in the Manderson Pension Case. CHICAGO'S STRATEGIO MOVE, The Windy City Kstablishes an Infor- mation Burean in Washington— Indian Votors--Hoagland's Mission, 513 FOURTERNTI STREET, Wasnisaroy, D. O, Oct. 14, Secretary Noble says tuat his decision in the re-rated pension case of Senator Man- derson may bo regarded as a precedent in & number of other similar cases. Senator Manderson, however, occupied o somewhat different position from the major- ity of penmsioners recently re-rated. His case was considered and an increased pen sion allowed him without any application on his part or, in fact, any knowledgo that such was being done until he had received a cer- tificate from the commussisner of pensions showing that his pension had been increased. As a pension ofice official remarked to-day : One differcnce between Senator Man- derson and the rest of the re-rated pensioners is that he has returned the money and the others have not.” It is said that most. of the others who have been re-rated made an application for it, which he did not. There are about thirty of the employes of the pension office whose pensions have baan re-rated. In some instances this re-raling was done upon their application and in otuer cases it was done without the knowledge the pensioner. Some of whese cases w lowed by Commissioner Tanner while they were onappeal before the secretary of the interior. ‘The present acting commissioner, Iiram Smith, was re-rated, but it is understood that he made an application to that effect and in that particular the legal requirements were complied with, ‘There are others in the pension office as well as oul side whoso pensions were rerated and who received arrearages of from 86,000 to §13,000, and under ths ruling in the Mandaerson case all are char- ed as being 1llegal. he question now arises to what extent, if any, will Senator Munderson's example be followed by those who occupy substantially the same position. 1t is thought that the new commissioner of pensions will have this question to consider among the first duties which ho will be called upon to perform. The commissioner hus_the right to recover all money illogally paid on account of pensions, and in cascs where the arrearages have already been ex- pended tbe government can confiscate all all future payments, So far there has been no attempt te recover any of the money which has been paid illegally to pensioners. It is said to be the desire of ihe secretary of the interior to enforce as far as practicable the collection of the money, and that active measures will be adopted as soon as a com- missioner of pensioners has been appointed. Some of the employes of the pension office whose pensions were re-rated have left the government service since action was taken in theircases. The great majority are still in government emvloy, and of course it will be comparatively easy to compel a_payment, providing they have not spent the money. In such an event the government could levy upon their salaries as well as their pensions, CHICAGO'S LATEST MOVE. ‘The astonishing enterprise of Chicago, which will do a great deal towards securing for the city by the lake the much coveted world’s fair of 1802, was impressed upon the residents of Washington to-night when it be- came known that tho citizens of the windy city had opened a general information bu- reau at parior 6, Willdrd’s hotel, and_that Mr. E. S, Taylor was to be charge d'affairs.

HOAGLAND'S ADDRESS, President A. Hoagland, of Lincoln, Neb,, to-day delivered his avnual address at the opening of the Boys' and Girls’ National Home und Ewmployment association, Ie quoted statistics to prove that crime is on the increase among the youth of the land. There aro 70,000 convicts in the prisons and one-half of them are under twenty-one years of age. There are 20,000 boys and girls in reform schools and reformatory institutions. Thirty thousand tramps are abroad in the land, and over one-half of them are boys. “They are tramps because they have no houes or employment. Kighty per” cont of these tramps come from the large cities, and their early life was one of strect vagabondag finaily driven from the cities by the law by shicer want and the necessity to keep moving in order to keep alive. !he object of the association is to secure national, state and county aid in providing homes and em- ployment and in aiding in the education of these boys, to divert them from lives of idle- ime. In each city a local asso tion is formed of twenty members, including the mayor and chief of police, A'free intel- ligence office is estabiished, the members procuring homes among farmers for the Iriendless lads. In the rural districts the planis to_establish country infelligence of- fices which will co-operate with the city offices and aid in the placing of boys among the farmers, These local associations are to be formed into a state organization, with tho governor of the state at the head, INDIAN VOTERS, FEvery male Indian over twenty-one years of age who receives an allottment o1 land in severalty becomes a voter by an act of the late congress, and the successive termina- tion of the negotiations with the Sioux Indians by whicli they surrender a large part of their reservation in Dakota will, by next year, throw into the politics of that' state 3,700 voters, ‘This vote thrown solidly, as it probably will be, in both state and national elections, 18 likely to become an important fuctor in'the state, At the interior depart- ment it is thought that upwards of 20,000 Indians will be entitled to vote in the unext presidential election, CANDIDATES AND THEIR PROSPECTS, With the certainty that there is to be no extra session and that they will serve their terms out, the present ofticers of thu house discuss with some complacency the pros- pects of the several canaidates for their re- spective places, The speakership possibili- ties are also discussed knowingly at the capitol, where members are sure to go when they come to Washington, and where there 18 little of interest except remote political possibilities to talk about, The race be- tween Reod and McKinley is regarded as quite close, 80 close, indeed, that members are loth to openly state thewr preforences. As 0 the oficers of the house there are two or three things regarded as pretty certain, McKee, of Indiana, is expected to be pos master; Adams, of Maryland, (McComas' man) 10 be door keeper, and Major John M. Carson, of the Philadelphia Ledger, clerk, Swords, of Iowa, is regarded as & possibility for sorgeant-at-arms, It is not known get whether Swords will be a candidate for ser- geaut-at-arms of the house or the senate.

Perry S, Heari e sy An Interesting Deeision. WasmyGroy, Oct. 14.—The ntel commerce commission has made a decision in the case of Leonard Chanpelle against the Chicago & Alton. The complainant was formerly allowed to ship livo cattle n car- loads from Mount Leonard, Mo.,to Chicago at $50 per car and to load twenty head in a car. In January the complainant was informed that the rate would be 24 cents per 100 pounds in carloads of not less than 20,000 pounds and any excess in that number of pounds to the car will be charged for at she same rate. The commission decides this 1s not unlawful and being more only in propor- tion to the service rendered is prima facie more just and reasonable than the practice it supplanted. Upon hearing it was shown by state laws or rulings of the state commision- ers, that shuppers of cattle in Kansas or Missouri to points within the state had a ight to loaa cars without regard to the weight at the stated price percar. 1t was said the rule was the same in other states, and the commission was urged to conform thereto. The commsssion holds that such state action is not a reason for tho adoption of lino rules in inter-state tra if that ause is found not to be the m and politic. State action will alway ated with the highest deference and respect, but cannot be allowed to coutrol matters within federal jurisdiction. o Cnicago Election Crookedne Cmicaco, Oct. 14.—~[Special Telegram to Tur Bee. ensational reports of pro- jected election frauds aro again rife in Chi- cago.
