LORD LIONEL'S LITTLE BOOK Its Publication Attracts Attention at the Capital, MINISTER BAYARD MAY MAKE COMPLAINT Explanation of Some of the Events ritish Min. Against WASHINGTON, Oct the pamphlet printed by Lord Sackville West, reviewing hls diplomatic career in the United States, which ended in his being summarily glven his passports In the fall of 1858, after 9.—The extracts from the publication of the Murchison letter, has attracted great attention there, and it is thought that perhaps Minister Bayard, who was o severely scored in the publication, may ask the State department to make com- plaint against Lork Sackville West. The latter, although retired, is on the pension list of the British government. W. J. C. Bancroft Davis, who was first assistant sec- retary of state under Frelinghuysen, and whose conversation Lord Sackville repeats made the following statement to the Asso- ciated press today in regard to the conver sations, which appear fn the account twice, one In connection with an alleged request made by Secretary Frelinghuysen for the rellef of Imprisoned Irish suspects, and_onc upon receiving information trom 1 ville of an alleged Irish conspiracy Lord Sackviile's life: “In regard to the first, what took place between the two governments was this: Mr. Frelinghuysen, by direction of the president, fnstructed Mr. Lowell to ask Lord Greenville to have the lord lieutenant of Ireland in- structed to exercise the discretion reposed in him by law, to order an immediate trial of the prisoners, who had then been im- prisoned without trial many months, This request, when pressed, brought about a re- lease of all the prisoners. I cannot recall that I had any conversation with the British minister on that subject, but as his account appears to have bren a contemporaneous one it is probably substantially correct. In re- gard to the conspiracy against Sir Lionel's life, this is the first that I have heard of it. The telegram, which the account says was sent to the assistant secretary, perhaps an error for the secretary, never reached me.” WEST'S LIFE NOT THREATENED. Mr. Davis added that he never knew that any representations had been made that Lord Lionel’s life was endangered and had never heard before that he had been taken on a ten day's cruise by General Sherman to avold possible violence to his person. From semi-official sources the following ex- planation Is given of what took place at the time of the passage of the crimes act in 1852, The Irish suspects had been imprisoned under the ordgrs of Mr. Foster, then secretary for Ireland; but no disposition was shown to bring them to trial, Mr. Foster's policy being to hold them in prison as suspects. The Brit- ish Parliament endorsed that policy by the paskago of the crimes act, which empowered the lord lfeutenant of Iréland to hold sus- pects as prisoners until he chose to place them on trial. There was a great outcry in this country against the crimes act. As month after month passed without a trial it was belicved that under It the prisoners could bo held for life without a trlal. President Arthur in response to this sentiment did not demand the release of the prisoners, but he requested Lord Granville to have the lord lieutenant of Ireland exercise the discretion reposed in him by the crimes act and either release or bring the prisoners to trial. Within two weeks after that request was preferred tho suspects were all released and Mr. Fos- ter, whose policy had been overruled, had resigned from the British cabinet. DOES NOT BLAME WEST. LONDON, Oct. 9.—The statements Lord Sackville, who as Sir Lionel § West was the British minister at Washing- ton in 1881-89, in a pamphlet marked *‘For Private Circulation Only,” a copy of which was obtained here by the correspondent of the New York World, and the substance of which was printed In the United States to- day, have caused amazement In diplomatic clicles, Truth, commenting upon the state- ments made, says: Whether it was courteous or judiclous for Lord Sackvlile to publish this attack when Mr. Bayard s ambassador in London s a debatable question, to which it ‘may, how- ever, reasoriably he replied that Mr. Bayard was' Immeasurably more discourteous and Infudicious” in his behavior ~ toward ville-West when the latter was at V ington. Mr. Bayard, therefore, mean to complain of this point. matter acqulres exceptional it I8 considered side by side with a re dispute regarding the race for the Ame: iea's cup. "It should be remembered that ckyille-West was the vietim of an elec- tion trick.

In' America they have our peers and we have thelr heiresses, SUBSTANCE OF THE LETTERS, LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 9.—The publi- cation by Lord Sackville-West of a pamphlet in which he sets forth his defense and expla- natfon of a letter written by him during the presidential campaign of 1888, in answer to a letter from an alleged Englishman re- slding at Pomona, Cal., asking his advice as to the proper channel in which to cast his vote, has revived In the public memory the story of how the ‘“‘Murchison letter” was written and published, and how it brought a reply that convulsed the country. The let- ter, which was first made public by the Los Angeles Times, was dated Pomona, C: September 4, 1888, was addressed to “The British minister at Wash- ington, D, C.,” and signed “Charles ~ F. Murchison.” The writer stated that ‘‘the gravity of the political eltuation and the dutfes of those voters who are of English birth and who consider Eng- land the mother country was the reason for intruding for information.” Mr. Cleveland’s mensage to congress on the fishery question was mentioned as exciting alarm, which compelled the writer and others to seek further knowledge before casting - their votes for him. The writer also sald that many English citizens had for years re- frained from being naturalized, but Mr. Cleveland’s administration had been so fa vorable and friendly toward England that thousands had become naturalized for the purpose of helping to elect him over again. He continued by saying that if Mr. Cleveland was pursuing a new policy toward Canada temporarily for the purpose of obtaining popularity and a continuation of his office four years more and intended to cease his policy when his re-election was secured and agaln favor England's igterests, h> would then have no further doubts and would vote for him. The object of the writer was to ascertaln through the agency of an unofficlal letter direct from the British minister the real attitude of the British government toward tho two great political parties in the United States, to ellcit a response which, when made public, should authoritatively settle the dis- puted ‘question as to where the sympathy of the political situation as regards the presi- dential etion thus created It is, how- ever, plainly Impossible to predict the ecourse which President Cleveland may pursue in the matter of retaliation should be be re- elected, but there Is eyvery reason to be- lieve that while upholding the position he taken, he will manifest a splrit of con- jation in dealing with the question in- volved In his message . 8. SACKVILLE-WEST. The Identity of ““Murchison” was not made publie until January 17, 1889. It was then made known that his real name was George Osgoodby, a well-to-do_and reputable citizen of Pomona, who was of Scotch-English par- entage, but was born in the United State: The letter sent to President-elect Harrison by Harrison Gray Otls and Judge W. F. Fitzgerald was simply an exhaustive history of how the famous letter came to be written and was sent him in the interest of historic truth, ° CHOLE ARE IRA ABOUT OVER, But Two Cowes D lulu in the SAN FRANCISCO, Oct, 9.—The steamer Australia arrived today, bringing the follow- ing from Honolulu, October 2: But two cates of cholera have developed in the past fourteen days. The record to date is elghty-seven cases. Of that number sixty in Hono- tnight. thres died. But two white peopls have suc- cumbed to the disease. Of the total number of cases, elghty-two were Hawallans, The natives persistently refused to report cases until the victims were dead or dying. The natives acted contrary to all rules made by the Board of Health. They claim cholera is bronght to exterminate them, and blame the white men for the visitation. The Board of Health made a house to house inspection twice each day until the 234 ult, when the whole town recelved a thorough cleaning, But two new cases have been reported since that date. It is believed that the danger is now over. There is much distress among the Hawalians. A relief station has been opened to supply them with food. About 20,000 ra- tions are handed out weekly. Thero is consid- erable doubt as to the real nature of the dis- oase. Many claim that it is not cholera. The cause of the trouble is attributed to poisoned fish, The majority of cases were taken from houses that border on a stream from which fish were taken and eaten raw by the na- tives. Two white people who died attended a natlve feast and ate fish, The natives have circulated a story that two Hawailan cholera patients were buried allve. Frank Godfrey White, recently dis- charged from the cholera hospital as cured, 1s charged with being the anthor of the re- port. Four men lured him to a lonely spot and gave him a coat of tar and feathers, Godfrey has appealed to the' United States minister. The United States ships Bennington and Olympla are still at Lahaina. The latter will coal there and leave for Japan about the 6th inst. It is understood the Bennington has been ordered back to San Francisco, leay- ing the islands without American protection. The presence of a war ship in the harbor is considered necessary just now, as an alarming report was brought by the steamer Australia It is another filibuster story and is serlous enough to cause the government to refuse liberty to any regular soldier. Other pre- cautions have been taken, indicating that the authorities fear invasion, Minister Hateh, it is understood, will leave for Washington in November to relieve Wil llam R. Castle, who recently accepted a tem- porary appointment as Hawalian minister. The government has handed its answer to Minister Willls in the Durreel case. It i understood the Hawaifan authorities have col- lected much evidence against the man. It is OVATION FOR LIBERTY BELL Weloomed to Atlanta with Military Pomp and Ceremony, NOW A PART OF THE SOUTHERN EXPOSITION Formal Greeting of the South to the Historle Relle that First Pro- claimed Brazen Toues the Dirth of a Nation. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 9.—Ths ovation which Atlanta gave the Liberty bell on its arrival | yesterday, unprecedented in enthusiasm in the history of the preclous old relic, was followed by another, even more Imposing, if less spontancous, this morning, when it was formally received and installed at the expo- sition grounds A few minutes after 8 o'clock the car on which the bell was brought to Atlanta was pushed to the corner of ‘Pryor and Wall | streets. Immediately a large truck was | back:d against the side of the car and the wor Kof transferring the bell was begun While the transfer was being made a large crowd gathered around the bell and watched the work. Lieutenant T. ¥ Hibernfan rifis, with a detail of men from | the Fifth regiment, threw a guard around the car and cleared the crowd away At 9:30 o'clock the military companies began forming on Pryor street. The line extended o Auburn avenue. The members of the Philadelphia delegation, with the Atlanta es- cort, were placed in carriages on Decatur street. At half past 10 Mayor Warwlick, Mayor King, President Collier and Mr, W. J. Campbell rode in a carriage to the side of th wagon on which the bell was placed, and teh’ four Philadelphia policemen assumed thelr places at each corner of the wagon and the parade began. As each company passed the bell it sa- luted, and Mayors Warwick and King re- sponded, A ‘detail of mounted policemen marched at the head of the line. Then came the Fifth regiment band. Eight companies of the First regiment United States regu- lars commanded by Captain Nelson Carter were at the head of the line. Following them came Governor Atkinson and his full staft and thea came the Fifth regiment of volunteers, the Capital City guards, the At- lanta reserves, the Hibernian rifles, the At- lanta rifles and the Atlanta Zouaves, fol- lowed by the machine gun platoon. The At- lanta artillery with their guns came next and then came the Governor's Horse Guard, commanded by Captain John Milledge. The bell was drawn by six handsome gray horses, The procession was completed by the carrlages of the Atlanta and Philadelphia delegation. CHILDREN WERE EVERYWHERE, Tho line moved along Wall street to Beach Tree and out of Beach Tree to Fourteenth. Turning into Fourteenth it was joined by Gilmore's band. When the proces<ion reached the Administration building 1t was stopped and turned to one side of the road. There the wagon contalining the bell and the car- riages containing Mayors Warwick and King wera driven fnto the grounds and Into the Pennsylvania building. Then the march of the military was started, the companies passing in review in front of the bell. Around the building, down the plaza, thought Secretary Olney will drop the matter. Durreel put in a claim of $25,000 for false imprisonment. British Commissioner Hawes has requested the government's version In the cases of George Lycurgus and Peter Cam- arinos, two Greeks, arrested during the January uprising. The commissioner stated that Greece had requested England to take the part of the tw SR BORN IN THE FAR FROZEN NORTH. White Buby Sees the Light of Day on Herschel Island, SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.—An American baby has been borm on Herschel island, as close to the north pole as San Francisco is tc Mazatlan. It would be a matter worth men- tioning if the baby was born of native parents in such a far north part of the world. It is, however, a white baby, its mother being the wifo of Captain A. C. Sherman of the steam whaler Beluga. In all likelihood a baby never saw the light of day on Herschel island before. It is a barren spot in the Arctic ocean. The island lies about north of the boundary line be- tween the extreme northern portion of Alaska and the extreme northern portion of British North America. If it were possible to follow an air line from Sitka to Herschel island the traveler would have to journey 1,600 miles straight north before he could see the bold headlines of Herschel island. The story of the birth of this northernmost of American bables was brought here by Captain Mason of the steam tender Jeanie. It seems that Captain Sherman and his wifo had passed one winter at Herschel island and Mrs. Sherman was quite used to the mid night sun of the summers and the long dark ness of the winter as well. There was great to-do about the birth of the baby. There were four women at Herschel fsland to idolize the little one. They were wives of whaling captains. The whalers, most of whom had been away from home for more than eighteen months when the baby was born, were greatly inter- ested in the event and sent many presents to the happy mother. There happened to be a clergyman of the Church of England at the camp. He had been sent to that odd quarter of tho world as a missionary. His name was Rev. Mr. Stringer. With all formality that was possible on the barren island he chris- tened the child Helen Herschel Sherman. The baby has taken very kindly to the mild but perpetual daylight of the summer at Horsohel Island and bids fair to thrive there through the long, dull winter months. Its playthings are made from whalebone and its cradle was cut from pleces of wreckage by a ship's carpenter. - ———— OHIO WANTS A NAVAL MILITIA. Navy Department Looks with Favor climbing over the club grounds fence, in the trees, and every place where a foothold could be obtained were the children. The crowd was 80 dense that it took the efforts of the entlre exposition police to keep the roadway open. Whenever the bell appeared there was a scream of delight from the thousands of children. As soon as the military had passed in review, Councilman W. P. Campbell, act- iug as master of ceremonies, made a few opening remarks and introduced Dr. H. Barnett, who delivered a fervent and appro- priata prayer. The befl was then formally received by Mayor Kiig, whose address was responded to by Mayor Warwick of Philadelphia. Gil- more's band played the “‘Star Spangled Ban- ner,” after which ~Goyernor Atkinson welcomed the bell in behalf of the state. . He was followed by President Colller, representing the’ Exposition company. Then Gilmore's band played “‘Dixie” and the Atlanta artillery fired a salute of thirteen Buns, 3 The school children were then permitfed to come by the bell and touch it with their hands, which concluded the day's program. SMOOTH FORGERS UNDER ARREST. Chicago Detectives Unearth a Very Clever Swindling Plant, CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—Two forgers, said to bo members of a noble family of Stockholm, Sweden, and who have been living for some time in regal style at the Lexington hotel, Twenty-second and Michigan avenue, were locked up at the Cottage Grove station last night. They have been posing as agents for the Illinois Humane soclety for four months, and it Is said they have secured more than $5,000 by bogus checks. All these checks bore the forged signature of President John G. Shortall or W. H. Fitch of the Illinois Humane soclety. These checks were cashed in many towns of northern and central Illinois, and were drawn on two prominent Chicago banks. The forgerles were cleverly executed and the checks very genuine in ap- pearance. Several of the checks came through the channels of trade to the banks upon which they were drawn, and neither Mr. Shortall nor Mr. Fitch having deposits at these banks the checks were found to be forgeries. De- tectives were sent to various towns where the checks had been recelved and accurate de- scriptions of the two forgers were secured, It was found that the real names of the two aro E. C. and Thom Enstromer. They are brothers and distinguished looking and hand- some chaps. A dozen Illinois. bankers are ready to testify against them and Mr. Shortall is very anxious to prosecute them. DEADLY WORK OF A CIGARETTE, Destroys a Brick Block and Kills One of the Firemen. KANSAS CITY, Oct, 9.—Fire which started Upon the Proposition, WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—A strong move- ment Is making in Ohio, with every prospect of success, looking to-the establishment of a state naval militla. The Navy department has been informed that a meeting of repre- sentatives of Ohlo cities interested in the project has been called to mezt in Columbus on the 14th Inst, to take measures to secure the new organization at the next session of the legislature. To this end a bill has al- ready been drafted and submitted for the advice of Lieutenant Niblock, in charge of the naval militia division at the Navy de- partment, patterned upon the Massachusetts naval miiitia act, and providing for the crea- tion of four batialions, each comprising four diyisions, Lieutenant Niblock Is looking forward to considerable accessions to the naval militia on the great lakes, and the Navy depart- ment {5 taking steps to prepare for their training. The ordnance bureau is now con- sidering plans for a renovation of the battery of the sloop-of-war Michigan, so as to make the ship suitable for the instruction of the militia in the wse of modern ordnance. These plans contemplate the replacement of the present battery of antiquated thirty-pound Parrott guns and by two six-pounder and two one-pounder rapid firing rifles. The repairs to the recelving ship Minnesota, which Is about to be turned over to the Massachusetts naval militia, are almost complete, and it is now expected that she will bo ready to start in tow from Brooklyn navy yard for Boston on the 14th. that government and the psople lay in the electoral conflict then impending. ‘‘Murchi- son" stated in his lotter to Lord Sackville that he desired the minister's advice on the subject of voting, not only for the benefit of himself, but for the Information of others. LORD SACKVILLE'S REPLY, Lord Backville's reply was dated Beverly, Mass., September 13, 1888, and is as follows I fully appreciate the difficulty in which you find yourself in casting your vote. You are probably aware that any political party which openly favored the mother country at the present moment would lose popularity and that the party in power is fully aware of this fact. The party, however, is, 1 be- lieve, still desirous of maintaining friendly relations with Great Britaln, and is still desirous of settling all questions with Can- ada, which have been unfortunately reopened —_—— Lutherans in Convention. BASTON, Pa., Oct. 9.—The twenty-fifth convention of the general council of the Evan- gelical Lutheran Church of North America, met here today. There are about 100 dele- gates present, representing Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and adjacent states, the Evangelical Lutheran synod of Oblo, the Evangelical Lutheran synod of Pittsburg, the Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Augus- taga synod and the synods in Canada, In- dlana, Texas and the northwest. Prof. 1, B. DD, L. of Philadelphia, the English corresponding’ sccretary of the gen- eral council, presided In the absence of the president. The convention will contlnue In session for about a week.

Dominick Wagner Pleads Not Guilty. ST. JOSEPH, Oct. 9.—Dominick Wagner, late pastor of St. Mary's church, was ar- ralgned in the criminal court this morning and pleaded not guilty to the four charges pre- ferred against him. The cases were set for trial October 17, and the priest will be tried on the charge of embezzlement first. It is now alleged that Wagner was very bold in his operations of embeszling money belonging to St. Mary’s church. It is charged that he took money belonging to the congregation, and fn_the name of his brother-in-law loaned it to Bishop Burke for the benefit of the church from which he (Wagner) had taken It. Wagner has discarded his. clerical garb, and appeared In court today in citizen's clothes. Rival Receivers in Charge. CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—The affairs of the Davis & Rankin company, the big dairy supply con- cern whose plant was seized by the sherift on a judgment yesterday, were decldedly mixed today by the appolitment of two recelvers in different courts. O. E. Stubbs was made receiver in the federal court upon petition of J. T. Rose of Dayton, O., and later it de- veloped that the Chicago Title and Trust com- pany had been appointed receiver late last night by Judge Hanecy of the clrcult court. Extended litigation will probably result. Ohlo River Improvement. CINCINNATI, Oct. 9.—A permanent organ- ization of the Ohio River Improvement asso clation was perfected today. The plan of M R.

SING SING, Oct. 9.—Warden Sage has submitted to General Lathrop, superintendent of state prisons at Albany, certain ~corre- spondence confiscated in Dr. Henry F. Meyer's cell in Sing Sing prison, which shows up a plot on the part of the doctor to carry out murder, similar to the one for which he was convicted and sentenced to prison for life. Meyer was tried for the murder by slow poison of Carl Brandt, so that he could get the Insurance mouey on Bramit's life. Meyer wrote letters in German to his wife, who was arrested with him, but was not tried, plan- ning another murder, so that she could get certaln fnsurance money, which was to be used in getting him out of prison. The plan was cailed to the warden's atten- tion some time ago, when Meyer gave Chap- lain Wells a letter written in German to Mrs, Meyer. He asked the chaplain to mail it for him. When the letter was translated the plot was discovered. A watch was placed on the doctar and his cell was searched, which brought to light letters and memoran- das planning the murder. In the letter to his wife he said he would send her a prescrip- tion to be used which would do the work. Warden Sage maid today that the matter was now In the hands of Superintendent Lathrdp and a full Investigation would be made. Dr. Meyer 1s now employed in the clothing shop. When he came to the prison he wanted a place in the apothecary shop and also in the hospital, but Prison Physician Irvine refused to place him in ejther department.
