It is the settled policy of tbis Nation to maintain _but k) small standing army.” e In speaking of the reports from W ash- ington about possible bostilities with Spain Senator Sherman said: “I_do not look for any trouble with Spain. Mr. Cleveland seems to be following the right policy — that of maintaining neutrality with all the friendly powers.”’ iy TAS IMPEIUS 70 INDUSTEIES.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Nov. 12.—The offi- cial returns of the vote in each county for the election of November 3 are all in, and with the counties of Marshall, McLean and Montgomery left off the table prepared by the Secretary of State because of unex- plained irreguiarities, they show that W. B. Smith, the first Democratic elector, will have a vote in the Electoral College. The oiher twelve electors will be Repub- licens (with the counties of Marshall, Mc- Lean and Montgomery left out). S. H. Kash, the first Republican elector, re- ceived 215,086 votes; Smiti, the first Dem- ocratic elector, 212,89); Trimble, the last Republican elector, 212,389, and Ward, the first National Democratic elector, 5018. Smith’s plurality over the hindmost Re- publican elector may be wiped out alto- gether by the official count, and it cannot be said for certain yet that Trimble is that man. The official vote of the Seventh Con- gressional District shows that Sattle de- feated Colonel Breckinridge by 1808 votes. The total of the uncfficial vote of Mec: Lean, Marshall and Montgomery coun- ties gives Kash 2969, Smith 4908, These figures make McKinley's plurality in the BASEBALL MEN ARE NOT AGREED Attempt of the National Board to Gain Full Control.

CHICAGO, Tir., Nov. 12—As on yes- terday the corridors of the Auditorium Hotel were thronged this morning with baseball men of high and low degree, and gossip of the diamond predominated. The uppermost topic of the morning wzs the tie vote by which Jobn T. Brush, the Indiauapolis and Cincinnati magnate, was temporarily * thrown down ” in the mat- ter of approving the minutes of the first meeting of the league. The point at issue was whether the ac- tion of the National Board in delegating itself the power of amending the National agreement by a unanimous vote, in in- creasing its membership from four to five, including President **Nick’ Young, ex- officio member, should stand. An amend- ment founa at the end of the National agreement reads: ‘‘This agreement may be altered or considered at any time by the unanimous consent of the board. This amendment shall become operative after February 14, 1896.” Such a clause practically gives unlimited control to the board. The minutesasread yesterday indicated ttat the league has approved of the action of the board in in- serting the amenament and further rati- fied the increase of membership from four to five. Immediately there was a question as to the correctness of the minutes. President Brush and one or two others asserted they remembered the approval of the amend- ment in question at the league meeting. Several did not know and the rest were positive no such action had been taken, boldly announcing they wouid have op- posed it at the time if it had been under consideration. The pet plan, generaily credited to Mr. Brush, was thus to give the whole power to the board rather than to the league itself. There is aiso a clause in the league constitution which provides amendments to the national agreement sha!l be adopted only by the unanimous vote of the league. The two clauses were, therefore, in airect contradiction to each other, but the league virtually waived its State 257. The returning board will meet in a few days and announce the official result. ———— Will Not Enter the Cabinet. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 12.—Ex-Attorney- General Miller of Indianapolis and former law partner of ex-President Harrison is is 8t Louis, and in an interview this morning is quoted as saying that ex- President Harrison will not be a member of McKinley’s Cabinet. Mr. Miller says that General Harrison has retired from public lile, and under no circumstances could he pe prevailed upon to accent any office within the gift of the President or the people. The rumor that the ex- President would go into the McKinley Cabinet as Secretarv of State, Mr. Miller says, is utterly with i Georgia’s Democratic Circus. ATLANTA, GaA., Nov. 12—The Demo- cratic ciucns met again this afternoon and balioted five times for United States Sena- tor. No nomination was made. Cnairman Steve Clay led on every ballot, with Captain Howell tecond and “Governor Atkinson tuird.

Judge Showalter Decides That the Con- tracts Given to Customers for Rebates Are Binding. CHICAGO, I, Nov. 12.—Judge Sho- walter of the United Staltes Circuit Court to-day gave an extended opinion in the old whisky trust rebate case which was passed upon some time ago by Special Master Patton adversely to the holders of rebate vouchers which had been issued by the trust and the conditions of which had bren broken by the original holders. Mose Solomon had bought a lot of this questionable paper and sought to recover its face value. About $400,000 of similar claims bave been presented in the Federal court. Judge BShowalter holds that Master Patton was right in disallowing the ciaims; that the rebate vouchers con- stituted contracts; that the conditions as to the holders being entitled to a rebate of 7 cents a gailon if they purchased their requirements of the trust exclusively for 81X consecutive months were not illegal, and that the holders who have broken the conditions cannot recover. Directly this ruling affects the American Spirits Manu- facturing Company, but indirectly it up- holds the same trade regulations of such corporations as the sugar trust, the spool cotton combination and the Arbuckle Bros, Company. Substantially, all the claims against the old whisky trust are now wiped out ex- centing a few unimportant ones which are pending on some of the leases which the trust contracted. Under direction of Judge Bhowalter Recviver McNulta re- jected these leases. A test case on the sileged liens was decided against the claimant, and it is now befor Generai Court ot Appeals, anda rep; tatives of other corporations are said to sharing in the defense. ———e Governor Upham’s Daughter Weds, MADISON, Wis., Nov. 12.—The execu- tive mansion was the scene this aiternoon of the first marriage ceremony that has been performed within its portals since it came into possession of the State, twenty- £1x years ago. The contracting parties were Miss Caroline Upham, youngest aaughter of Governor and Mrs. Upham, and Philetus Horace Eawyer, grandson of Philetus Sawyer, Wisconsin's ex-Senator, and statesman. The weading was a quiet one. Miss Catherine Noyes of Oshkosh was maid of honor. right in favor of the board, if the minates were granted to be correct. Both sides lobbied all the morning over the board wrangle, and neither would ad- mit defeat. The National League at o’clock bad become split into two factjons, which held meetings far apart in the hotel and be- hind ciosed doors. The one under the leadership of Dr. Stuckey of Louisville went to a room on the top floor ana the big five remained in the regular meeting- vlace on the parlor floor. At that time the situation was chaotic, with Lowsville holding the coveted balance of power ana Stuckey making all kinds of demands for crack players. The fixed demand of Louisvilie was for Hallman of Philadel- phia, Catcher Clements and Right-fielder Sam Thompson, in exchange for ‘‘Chick” Frazer and McCreary. The deal for this trade was started yes- terday, but the arbitration board wrangle complicated matters. At 4 o'clock the factions came together and the report which obtained most credence was that Stuckey had been won over to support his old colleagues by a liberal transfer of players. Dr. Stuckey said before the meeting of each faction at 2 o'clock: “I want something, the Louis- ville club wants comething, and for once tte despised Louisville club is in a posi- tion to dictate. There must be conces- sions from both sides, no matter how I act. If Iremain with the smaller faction the tie vote will not be changed and Louis- ville will be in_line for representation on the National' Board of Arbitration. For years we have been mulcted, and I firmly believe we have been squeezed with the intention of getting rid of us. We will demand the strengthening of our team. Iam for Mr. Byrne of Brooklyn, for the board of arbitration. He has stood by Louisville when we sorely needed help and T never go back on a man who stands by me. 1 don’t care anything about the Brush feature of the case. Personally 1 thmk the men connected in a minor league franchise should be members of the National board.” The report was circuiated in the hotel rotunda that Andrew Freedman of New York bad offered certain members of his New York team as a peuce offering to Dr. Stuckey for the vote of Louisville. Bill Clark, Connaughton and Stafford were the players mentioned. John T. Brush of Cincinnati won the factional fight in the National Baseball League when the climax was reached at the late afternoon session., Dr. Stuckey of Louisville became Lis permanent ally and the faction which has former!y been un- successiuily opposed to the ‘‘big five” minority—Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and Pittsburg—became the ‘‘big seven” in the American National game, The coup was reco=ded during the meet- ing, which began at 4 o’ciock and ended at 7:30. A molion was put to reconsider the adoption of the minutes of ‘the previous meetine. This was carried by a vote oi 7 to 5, and the minority reslized that Mr. Brush had outplayed them in league poli- tics. Dr. Stuckey voted with the six on the adobtion of the minutes, which leaves the National board of arbitration practi- ally with-no anthority over the National ague except in minor league matters, The officers of the Nationa! Bourd were then elected and the membership remains at four, President Young not having the right to vote. This question of member- ship and authority of the board will be brougnt before the spring meeting of the league by the five ciub combination and another lively tussle is promised, Brush, Robison, Byrne and others of the major- ity were chatty and smiling over the sit- uation, while Freedman, Soden, Hart and their colleagaes were glum and reticent aiter the meeting. The following board of directors was elecied: Messra. Ev;cemnn.wxav York; on 3 agner, ashington ; Robison, Glnni-nt Von der Abe'.’w 8t Louis; Stuckey, Louisville. In voting for the arbitration board the combination of seven clubs beld together against tke five, and “tl.“ ended the struggle for the presen ¢ 1t developed to-day that Vice-President Lehler of the Louisville Club, and not Dr. fltnck'y, voted at yesterday's meeting in Btuckey's absence with “big five” 2 g when the amendment to the National agreement came up. This made the tie vote, and necessitated hard laboring with Stuckey on Byrne’s part. to-day. This de- 1ayed the meeting six hours. Bunday ball, it is said on reliable au- thority, .was used as a club to drive Btuckey into the Brush camp. Brush, Robison ana others said they would not lay Sundaysin Louisville, or make Sun- Sly dates with Louisville in their sched- ules. Soden of Boston said he did not believe anything except arguments had been used on gmckey to win him over. Freedman said he had either been wheedled or coerced. The league will meet again to-morrow morning. The Western League. CHICAGO, IrL., Nov. 12.—To-day’s ses- sion of the Western League was called for 11 o’clock, but the magnates evinced no disposition td hurry and it was noon be- fore Presidenf Johnson rapped his associ- ates to order and the league got down to business. The first thing done was to de- cide that Columbus and Grand Rapids should remain 1n the league for another season. There were appiications from Des Moines and Toledo, but as no opposi- tion developed to a renewal of the Colum- bus and Grand Rapids franchises there was no chance for the other cities, which were accordingly ignored. e S e Rusie Bues for a Release. CHICAGO, Iur, Nov. 12—Failing to secure his release from the New York Baseball Clubat the hands of the National League, Amos Rusie, the Indianapolis player, filed a bill for an injunetion in-the Federal court this morning in order to secure his release by legal process. Inci- dentally Kusie's application to the court means more than his personal release if granted. It means that the right of reser- vation exercised by the baseball clubs has no legal standing, and makes an open field at the close of each season for the con- tracting of players for the following sea- son. In addition Rusie began a suit at law for the recovery of $5000 damages by reason of the conduct of the New York club in depriving him from following his profession. e On Eastern Iracks.

Y., Nov. 12.—In the crop report for October, 1896, the United States Department of Agriculture attrib- uted the languishing condition of the hop market to the general use of ehemicals es substitutes for hops in brewing. The United States Broewers’ Association, in a letter to Becretary Morton, protested against this assertion, denounced it as ab- solutely false and offered 1o assist in the prosecution of any person guilty of adul- teration. In repiy the association received the following from Secretary Morton: DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, ‘WASHINGTON, D. Nov. 11, 1896. Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your commuuication of the 4th inst., made in'the name of the board of trustees and advisory committee of the United States Brew- ers' Association. The statement in the Octo- ber crop report to which you e attention submitied to the statisticia: nd he in- forms me that while the analysis of the de- tment chemist shows that the use of other {tters than hops has not been unknown in the past history of the brewing in the United States, still the statement is undoubtediy erroneous, as the use of the substitute appears 10 be rare, rather than otherwise. The m: paragraph in question relating to a CTOp was preparcq by & subordinate in atisticlan’ ice. It is the cuztom to have ch matters brought perticularly to the statistician’s atiention, but through inaavert- ence this was passed for pubiication without his scrutiny. Very respectiully, .

To Prervent a Strike, CHICAGO, Irn, Nov. 12.—The Gor- mully and Jeffrey Bicycle Manufacturing Company applied to Judge Grosscup this aiternoon for an irjnnciion against the Metal Polishers’ National Union restrain- ing that organization and its officers from ordering o strike in their factory. Theap- plication was the outgrowth of the trou- bles between the manufacturers and the workmen which resulted in a threat on the part of the union to declare a strize. Judge Grosscup bad no time to go into the matter, and referred the attorneys for the Gormully and Jeffrey Company to Master-in-Chancery Bishop. * Ruy Lopez. | SOCETY AT THE B, HORSE SHow Large and Swell Gathering at the Madison Square Gardens. Drill of the Municipal Moun'ed Police a Most Pieasant Feature. DIVIDED SKIRTS ARE BARRED. Again the Dashing Variety Actress Is Denied the Privilege of the Ring. NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 12.—Jupiter Pluvius and his attendant ministers of ramn and slush bave no terrors for the fashionable throng who for a week every year vie with each other in the display of pomp and beauty and incidentally pat- ronize that noble animal the horse. Con- sequentiy the attendance this afternoon at Madison-square Garden was the best since tke show began, num bering 5500 people. At night too the constant stream that poured in and distributea itseif through the boxes and reserved seats, leaving the overflow to join the eddying circle on the floor, seemed. never-ending. Those who came to see the horses—always a heroic minority—were ranged six deep around the ianbark railing where they stood, criticizing form in a learned manner. Those who came “to see and be seen'— the great majority—paraded in such num- bers that the “making of the grand cir- cuit” on the floor was a feat only to be accomplisned at a slow pace and at an utter disregard of time, and occasionally attended with a decided wrinkling of voluminous sleeves and diminished pa- tience. ;- In the tan barked arens, three or four accidents, happily of a minor nature, oc- curred at regular intervalsthroughout the day. The drill of municipal mounted police under the command of Acting Inspector McCullagh, lent a military air to the evening performance which was highly appreciated. The troop as usual presented a splendid appearance, and obeyed the commands of their leader like veteran cavalrymen. They went through all evolutions with a periection of discipline that provoked a storm of applause at the conclusion of every movement. The irrepressible variety actress who was turned down yesterday was again on hand to-day. She had substituted divided skirts for the objectionable pink tights of last evening, but her white stallion was again equipped with a man’s saddle, and accordingly the ring committee refused to allow her to ride astride. This was her last appearance, as she oniy entered in two classes, and after threatening dire penalties, she departed much to the rejief of the directors. ? Sixteen classes in all were judged to-day,. and smong the most interesting was the fine display of Shetiands. The tandem class also came in for a lot of well-merited applause, while the jumping clas: es- pecially the green hunters, brought out some good performers. Hackneys and trotting stallions took up the time of the judges until recess. Fred C, Sievens won first and second in the class for hackney mares, three-year- olds, of any height. A clas¥ for half-bred hackneys required the judges to decide between Hamlin's Almont Jr., a trotting stallion, with four of his get by hackney mares, and A. J. Cassatt’s hackney staliion Cadet with four youngsters by unregis- tered mares. There was applanse when the trim-built trotter-bred stock were given the ribbon, although they showed iess of the hackney characteristics than Cadet’s offspring. Bancroft, owned by S. H. Hunse, was the first in the competition for two-year- old stallion trotters and in the class for trotters, fillies, two to four years, shown in harness, Minneola King, entered by C. J. and H.

CHICAGO, InL, Nov. 12.—A special from St. Paul says: Copies of the Alaska News of Juneau received say: In conver- sation with & gentleman ‘ormerly of Den- ver, who came out this fall with a party of | miners, we learned that the existence of living mastodons near the heaawaters of the White River wasnot the mere fabrica- tion of the Northern furriers, but that the Stick Indians had told him that not later than five years ago such animals had been seen by them. . Oneof the Indians said that while hunt- ing one day in the unknown section he came across an immense track, sunk to a depth of several inches in the moss. In the description as the Indian marked out to him in the sand it much resembled an elephant’s track, and was larger around than a barrel. Upon striking it the Indian followed up this carious trail, which to all appearances was very iresh, and tracking irom one immense siride to the other for a distance of some miles, he came in full view of his game. The hunter gave one look and then turned and fied as though pursued by the evil one. He described it as being larger than Harper’s (the post trader’s) store, with great shining yellowish tusks and a mouth large enough to swallow him ata single gulr. He said the animal was undoudtedly the same as (vere the huge bones scattered over that section. If such an animal is now in existence, and there 18 no reason to doubt the veracity of the Indian, as other Indians, and also Harper, -had confirmed it, they inhabit a section of yery high altitude and one but rarely vis- ited by human beings, and those only In- dians. We have aiso no reason to doubt the Indian’s tale, for at no very distant zenod the Yukon country was inbabitea y these animals, and hundreds of their massive skeletons found strewn along the creeks are the silent but truthful wit- nesses. e Ty B IN TWO SEPARATE GRAVES. Discovery of the Remains of a Murdered Woman That Had Been Cut in Two Before Interment. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Nov. 12.—The body of an unknown young woman was found buried yesterday in a fiela near the city. It had been cut in two at the waist and carried to the field in gunny sacks, where two separate graves were made, the head and trunk placed in one and the lower part of the boay in another. There were some peculiar features about the .affair. The burial-place was near the insane asylum, and the employes there saw two men ride into the field Tuesday night on horseback. They dismounted and opened the grave with a spade. After locking at the face of the corpse they rode away, leaving the grave uncovered, The employes of the asylum aid not at the time realize what was going on and paid little attention to the actions of the men. Yesterday, however, they went out to where the men had been seen and found the body. No one has yet identified the body, and it is pelieved to have been brought from some other place. That a murder has been committed there is little doubt, and an investigation is being made by the Cor- oner and police. The body had been buried for some time, probably for several weeks, and was considerably decomposed. There was no clothing or marks of identification upon it. FOUGHT I8 A SALOON Striking Miners and Austrian Smelters Engags in a Fu- rious Eattle. During the Clashing of Knives One Man Was Kiiled and Four Others Badly Wounded. LEADVILLE, Corvo., Nov. 12.—Striking miners and & party of Austrians clashed in & saloon here at an early hour this morning. One man was killed and four badly cut, one of them fatally. The dead man is Stephen Frankowitz. It is thought Jerry Dormandy will die of injuries received. The othersinjured are: Joseph Austerman, John Jackson and an unknown man. Abont twenty men took part in the fight. A party of Austrians employed in the smelters was followed into the saloon by a crowd of strikers, The strikers called the Austrians scabs, and this they re- sented. ¢ Knives were drawn, and a fierce fight waged until the police put in,an ap- vearance. Al those concerned managed 1o make their escaps with the exception of the injured. The Austrians are union emelting men, but were mistaken by the strikers for non-union men. gt N Mutual Life Underwriters.

District Assemblies to Be Given a Large Measure of Home Rule Power. AN INCOME TAX IS TURGED. Eut Resolutions Relating to the Money Question Are Apparently Not Welcome. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 12.—There are numerous resolutions of importance stili in the hands of the Knights of Labor commi‘tee which have not as yet been of- fered to the General Assembly. The re- port of the executive committee has been made public. It details the vart taken by the Knights of Labor in the Populist and Democratic National conventions in an at~ tempt to unite the iwo parties for the vrinciples urged by the Knights, and re- joices at the prominence given the issues there enumerated. After the reading of the minutes by Sec- retary Hayes a resolution was offered that the election of officers be taken up at 3 o’clock this afternoon, but it was defeated. It is said that General Master Workman Sovereign will be re-elected. A resolution was adopted instructing the secretary to telegraph fraternal greet- ings to the session of the Supreme Coun- cil of the Farmers’ Alliance in progress at Indianapolis. The committee reported favorably on the adoption of the following amendment to section 2 of the constitution proposed by District Assembly Seventy-five of Brooklyn, composed of street and elevated railroad men: “Provincial, State, National, trade and district assemblies are sovereign in their own jurisdiction, under the general laws of the order and are empowered to decide all disputes arising within their jurisdic- tion, subject to appeal to the General Assembly.” The amendment is proposed so as to give the district assemblies a large meas- ure of home-rule power. Under the sec- | tion as it now stands appeals are made to | the general executive board. | Discussion of the proposed amendment l occupied the morning session, but no ae- tion was taken. There is much senti- ment in favor of the amendment, butitis! thought that much time wiil be taken up in discussing it. E Tne afternoon session began early and lasted untit 4 o’clock. Thetime was taken up with the discussion of different reso- lutions which were presented to the as- sembly by the Law Commission. None of them were passed. The report of the general worthy foreman, M. J, Bishop, was submitted. Ameong the papers presented to the dis- tribution committee last night was a reso- lution indorsing a graduated income tax, which would apply to all incomes and be laid with a per cent that should increase as the amount of the income increased. The committee on laws took the ques- tion up, and there was a hotdiscussion, as it was felt that it was a radical step for the organization to take, but it was finally indorsed and presented to the General Assembly this morning and adopted. The Knights will do all in their power to have such a tax enacted by Congress, and failing there will use their influence to have the tax incorporated in the platform of one of the great political parties. Resolutions have been offered opposing the issue of National bank notes, and de- claring that all money should be issued exclusively by the National Government, and taking a definite stand in regard to the many matters from which the Knights have stood aloof, It is not known whether they will indorse Iree silver or not. The principal opponent to Mr. Sov- ereign for general master workman is T. G. McGuire of Armsterdam, a member of the executive board. Mr, Sovereign is strong with the Western and Southern delegates, while McGuire is strong in New York and New England. e DESERVES NO ATTENTION, Gompers Not Anxious to Enter Into a Controversy With:Sovereian. INDiANAPGLIS, I¥p., Nov. 12.—Presi- dent Gompers of the Federation of Labor was asked by a United Associated Presses reporter this afternoon for an expression as to the reference made by Master Work- man Sovercign of the Knights of Labor, in his annual address before the conven- tion of that body now in session at Roches- ter. He replied: “Well, I bardly think he is deserving of any attention. No one pa; ny attention to what he says. No one has ever paid any attention to his statements—not even when he ordered laboring men to lay down their toois in 1894 was any heed given to his words. His reference to the Federation has no effect whatever, and inasmuch as there are | rattically no membersof his organization nlt we have no worry over what he says.’' Will Ba Farreaching.
