Kalnoky's Reprisal Scheme
Knocked Out.
Retaliation for tUe McKinley
Bill Checked.
Minister Reid Making Reciprocity
Arrangements With France.
Germany Warming Toward American Pork.
Herr Miquel Instituting Some
Great Reforms.
Associated Press Dispatches. 1
Berlin, Sept. 27.—'Copyrighted 1890
by tlie New York Associated Press.] —
The information received from the Ger
man embassy in Paris that Rlbotj the
French minister of foreign affairs, has
negotiated with Whitelaw Reid, the
American minister, for a reciprocity ar
rangement between France and the
United States, has summarily settled
the project of Count Kalnoky, the Aus
trio-llungarian prime minister, for the
combined reprisals against the United
States in retaliation for the McKiniey
tariff bill. Emperor William never en
tertained the idea of reprisals.
Chancellor Yon Caprivi had a confer
ence with Herr Miquel and accepted hia
scheme to lessen the cost of living to the
masses, by higher imposts on the
moneyed classes, the principle involving
tKe early re-opening of the German mar
ket to American pork. The official im
pression here is that Minister Phelps'
overtures for a settlement, if renewed,
hacked by some easy concession on Ger
man exports to the United States, will
find ready responses from the chancel
lor.
Advices from Vienna indicate that
the Austrian government also accepts
the principle of reciprocity, Count Kal
noky having instructed the Austrian
minister at Washington to make rep
resentations in the matter of pearl and
other Austrian industries affected by
the McKinley bill, with a view to the
negotiation of a treaty.
Herr Miquel's financial statements
have also decisively influenced military
reforms and led to the retireriient of
General Dv Vernois from the war minis
try, and the profferred resignation of
Count Yon Waldersee, both of whom
urged Emperor William to adoptScharn
horst's plan for the reorganization of the
army, involving a heavy increase in tlie
war budget. Despite tiie popularity of
the Scharnhorst scheme in military cir
cles, the chancellor has thrown the
whole weight of his influence against
adding to the war budget.
Preparations against the Socialist
manifestations on October Ist,' are equal
to the contingencies of civil war. The
Socialists ridicule the expectation of an
outbreak, knowing the pacific character
of the arrangements.
Bismarck has stated to several mem
bers of the Herrenhaus his intention to
attend all the debates on questions of
national importance. The Breslauer
Zeitung, in an interview with the ex
chancellor, made him say he is still
vice president of the staatsrath. Semi
official communications in the press, of
the affairs of office in question, say the
office was held by virtue of his official
functions, and that it ceased on the day
his resignation from the chancellory was
accepted. _
THE TIPPERARY TRIAL.
The Defendants Renew Their Objections
to Justice Shannon.
Drni.iN, Sept. 27. —There is no abate
ment in interest in the trial of the
nationalist leaders at Tipperary. The
impression is that the government is
trying to prolong the trial. It was the
desire of the crown prosecutor this
morning, that the cases be tried separ
ately. To this the defendants unitedly
objected. The magistrates at last
yielded and decided in favor of a col
lective hearing. Crown Prosecutor
Ronan submitted with very bad grace,
and declared he bowed to the decision
because he must. He said he would
refrain from expressing an opinion of
the fairness of the nationalists scoring
this point.
The sensational feature of the morn
ing was the renewed attack by the de
fendants on Magistrate Shannon. After
their protest against Shannon was dis
regarded on Wednesday, they decided to
bring their objections in a more formal
way. They prepared a statement of their
reasons in the iorm of an affidavit, to
which each defendant affixed his signa
ture. This joint affidavit the defendants
took into court this morning, and at
tempted to present it to the bench. The
magistrates, who had received no in
timation of the defendants' purpose,
were taken completely by surprise. As
soon as they understood the nature of
the document they peremptorily de
clined to receive it. Instantly Ronan was
on his feet, denouncing the action of the
defendants. It was difficult, he
declared, to iind language strong enough
fittingly to characterize it. The docu
ment they sought to present w T as an in
famous libel on Shannon. Shannon
himself pronounced the affidavit an " at
tempt to make a scandal of justice."
This expression was greeted by the de
fendants with roars of hilarious laughter.
When the preliminary matters were
disposed of and the time came for taking
testimony, it was found that two of the
defendants were not in the court room.
A short recess was taken to give time for
the absent ones to be summoned.
It was subsequently decided to ad
journ the case until Monday without
taking any testimony.
THE BARRUNDIA AFFAIR.
Captain Pitt*' Version of the Killing.
'Sixty Shots Fired.
City ok Mexico. Sept. 27.—1n the offi
cial Guatemalan report of the Barrun
dia affair is a letter to the port captain
of San Jose from Captain Pitts, dated
on board the steamer Acapulco, in
which he says: "Barrundia boarded
the steamer "at Acapulco, having a
ticket for Panama and was disarmed by
me. On August 23 the au
thorities boarded the Acapulco,
bearing a letter from minister
.Mizner, telling me I must surrender
Barrundia, if the authorities demanded
it. I went to the cabin with the port
captain. Before I could finish reading
the letter, Barrundia commenced firing
on us. We sought refuge and he fol
lowed, continuing to fire upon us. Fir
ing then became general and about sixty
shots were fired before Barrundia waa
killed."

changed shots with friends of Lasley,
during which time Sapp exposed him

SEASIDE DEMOCRATS.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC DEMONSTRA
TION AT SANTA MONICA.
Representatives of the Loo;Angelos Clubs
Royalty Welcomed—Addresses by Hon.
Joseph D. Lynch, Hon. T. E. Gibbon
and othors.
Santa Monica, Sept. 27. (Special.)—
That Santa Monica will give a large
majority for Pond and Del Valle, there
can lie no question, for tonight the
Democratic club gave the visiting Dem
ocrats from Los Angeles, the grandest,
most enthusiastic reception the town has
ever seen. On the arrival of the train
which brought the members of the Iro
quois, Tammany, Jackson, Alliance and
German-American clubs of Los Angeles
to the number of 400, the celebration
began. Salutes were fired from
anvils, fireworks were sent off,
bands played, and the orators
of the evening, Hon. Joseph D.
Lynch, and Hon. T. E. Gibbon, with the
visitors, were escorted to the hall by a
torchlight procession. There was not a
Republican to be found in the city;
everybody hurrahed for Pond and Del
Valle and the visitors.
T.M.Thomas, the president of the club,
opened the meeting by a few well chosen
remarks, and introduced Hon. Joseph!).
Lynch, who was received with pro
longed applause. Mr. Lynch made a
complete, forcible and scholarly argu
ment for Democracy. He presented the
character and record of Mr. Pond ns
unimpeachable and unassailable. He
was shown as the man for
the time; one who had proven
in the exalted and responsible positions
he has filled, what he will do when gov
ernor of the golden state. The address
was an impassioned, yet logical, presen
tation of the position and claims of the
Democracy.
After the applause had subsided, Hon.
T. E. Gibbon was introduced and made
a very impressive, polished address.
Mr. Gibbon made especial points of tlie
venality and extravagance of Republi
cans in local offices. His address made
a deep impression and was loudly and
long applauded. Other speakers follow
ed, and the demonstration was kept up
well into the night. The utmost enthus
iasm prevailed, and many heretofore
Republicans took an active part in the
affair, proudly stating that they intnde
ed to vote for the Democratic nominees.

Auliffe Mill.
Sullivan Says Slavin Slogged a
Second-Class Man.
Actor Sullivan has Left Pugilism Be

Slavin Also Going to Retire from the Ring
How Young Griffo Pummelled
Billy Murphy.
Associated Press Dispatches.
New York, Sept. 27. —John L. Sulli
van was seen today about the Slavin
McAuliffe fight to get his opinion. He
never saw McAuliffe "put up his props"
and never saw Slavin at all. lie thinks
McAuliffe is too tall for a first-class
figther.
"Do you recognize Slavin as the cham
pion of the world?" asked the reporter.
"By no means; he has c*ly defeated a j
second-class man. Of course he is aj
good man, but it does not take an extra
good one to best McAuliffe."
"Will you make a match with j
Slavin?"
"No sir; once for all that is out of the
question ; I have adopted the theatrical
profession and left pugilism behind for
ever."
San Francisco Sports Disappointed.
San Francisco, Sept. 27. —The re- j
suit of the Slavin-McAuliffe fight, while
not wholly unexpected, was a source of
some disappointment here, resulting as
it did. Local interest was great and
until a late hour last night the steets
in the vicinity of the bulletin boards
and sporting resorts were crowded by
throngs eager for the details. Consid
erable money changed hands on the
result, and some well known snorting
men lost rather heavily. On the whole,
however, betting appears to have been
more evenly divided than was generally
supposed.
Curt Criticisms.
London, Sept. 27. —The evening papers
make only the curtest criticisms upon
the Slavin-McAuliffe fight. The St.James
< iazette says: Nobody is in any way
the worse forthe fight, unless it is those
who paid largo sums to share in a mild
entertainment.
The Pall Mall Gazette says: The
spectators could not congratulate them
selves on having their moneys worth of
punching.
The result ia a strange comwentarv
upon the weehe of preparation tlie van
quished boxer had undergone.
Slavin will retire from the ring.
Detectives present at the light have
reported to the authorities that perfect
order was observed, and the rules of
boxing adhered to. It is not probable
that the police will take any further
action.
Slavin the Best Man.
London, Sept. 27. —When asked to
night to account for his defeat, McAu
liffe answered, shaking his head sadly:
"I can't account for it at all, except that
Slavin was smart enough to put me to
sleep. I have been fairly beaten and
there's an end of it all."
"I'll tell you how it happened," spoke
up Billy Madden. "The fight was a ter
rific one from the very outset. Both
men went in for slugging for all they
were worth, and either man was liable
to be knocked out any moment, if one of
those terrible blows happened to strike
the right place. That, unfortunately,
is what happened my man. If he had
avoided Slavin's blow on the jaw, it is
quite possible he himself would have
knocked Slavin out the next moment.
In any case it is inconceivable that
such terrific fighting could have lasted
more than a very few rounds."
Padden thinks if McAuliffe had fought
in the second as he did in tlie first, he
would have knocked Slavin out.
Kiehard Fox said he had no doubt that
Slavin was the best man. Fox is ready
to back Sullivan against blavin for
$25,000.
FIGHTING FEATHER WEIGHTS.
How Young GriH'o Got Away With Hilly
Murphy.
San Fbancisco, Sept. 27. — Advices
from Sydney, per the steamship Mari
posa today, give an account of the light
between Billy Murphy, the feather
weight champion, and young Griffo,
which took place before the Sydney am
ateur gymnastic club for a purse of two
hundred sovereigns. Murphy opened
the fight with a rush, but Griffo dazed
him in the second round during some
hot in-fighting, in which he seemed to
excel. Griffo was twice knocked down
in the first three rounds by
Murphy's fierce swinging blows, but
whenever they came to close quarters
Griffo administered severe punishment,
and at the end of the eighth round both
men were decidedly weak, and Murphy
was looking anxious.
In the eleventh Griffo went in appar
ently to finish Murphy, and used his
right and left with such effect that he
dazed the champion, but tired himself
out before accomplishing his object.
The twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth
rounds were marked by wild rushes on
the part of Murphy and clever (lodging
and jabbing on the part of GrifTo.
In the fifteenth round both started to
spar cautiously. Murphy succeeded in
swinging his right on to Gritfo's jaw, but
there was no force in the blow. He
tried it on several times, but was either
too far around or the blows lacked
power. Griffo assumed the aggressive
and by a well directed blow on the jaw
rendered Murphy groggy. Murphy for
the second time tried pivotal blow, but
without effect, and at the end of the
round retired ro his chair in a limp con
dition.
Before another round was {called, Mur
phy threw off the gloves and walking to
the center of the stage said he gave the
fight to Griffo. When asked his reason
he asserted that the gloves had been
"fixed." An examination, however,
showed that the gloves weie new, ana
had not been tampered with.
Murphy afterwards challenged Griffo
to fight with bare knuckles for one
hundred pounds.
DEFECTIVE FOUNDATION.
A New Bridge Near Victor Collapses
While Being Tested.
San Bernardino, Sept. 27. —A suspen
sion bridge with a 300 foot span has re
cently been erected by the county over
the Mojave river near Victor, fifty feet
above the river. Complaint was made
that the bridge was unsafe. The county
employed A. 11. Ka-big, a civil engineer,
to examine the bridge and he pronounc
ed it unsafe. The California Southern
railroad track runs along, the side of tlie
river under the bridge, and Fred
Perris, the railroad's chief engineer,
notified the board of supervisors that
the county would be held responsible
for any damage done by the bridge. The
board declined to accept the bridge un
less the contractors would put the
bridge to a test, and show it capable of
supporting the weight called for in the
contract.
This morning a test was made in the
presence of the board and many citizens.
Eight mules, hitched to two wagons
loaded with ore. were placed on the
bridge. There were ten men on the
bridge at the time, when the structure
went down with a crash, severely injur
ing two men named Austin Ellis' and
Sam Morris. There is great indignation
and excitement at Victor.
Mr. C. A. Smith, the contractor, when
seen last night stated that the accident
was the result of the foundation of nat
ural rock at one corner giving way, al
lowing the structure to tilt to one side.
He denied that the structural portion of
the bridge collapsed. He stated that he
was confident the engineers would re
port in a few days that the defect was
in the natural rock which served as a
foundation at one end, and not in the
structure itself.
Mr. E. R. Fox, a rival contractor, and
builder of the suspension bridge at
Azusa, expressed the same opinion as
the above.
A gentleman who passed the scene of
the wreck on a Santa Fe" train, however,
told a different story. He said the bridge
was a complete wreck, almost tlie entire
structure being at the bottom of the
river. The one end which was still held
up by cables hung so low that the loco
motive could barely pass in under. Four
mules and two men went down. Two
of the mules were killed. Austin Ellis
had a leg broken and was taken to Vic
tor. Sam Morris was badly bruised and
cut about the head and was brought to
this city. The gentleman who gave this
information was of the opinion that the
cable did not have sufficient anchorage,
which caused it to pull out and let tlie
bridge down.
Damage suits are expected to result.

BURCHELL WEAKENING.
His Case to Go to the Jury on Monday
Next.
Woodstock, Ont., Sept. 27.—The
Burchell trial was continued today. Dr.
Mearns took the stand as a witness for
the defense, and gave expert testimony
concerning the wounds and bruises. He
was of tlie opinion that an uneven
surface would not inflict such wounds as
were found on Benwell. He thought
they must have been received at least
twenty-four hours before death, consid
ering "their appearance.
Dr. Richardson, of Toronto, professor
of anatomy in the University medical
school, was the next expert witness.
After considerable discussion about
the matter of bruises, etc., the evidence
was proceeded with.
Norman McQueen testified that he
saw Burchell in Woodstock, February
17th, last. He remembered the date
particularly and gave his reasons. He
bad known Burchell some time.
After another witness was examined,
Blackstock said the case for the prisoner
was concluded except two or three wit
nesses. This evidence would be repro
duced Monday. Judge Mahone said the
case must go to the jury Monday evening,
A DIALOGUE.
Scene nl the gate of Saint Peter's: Two Clothing Men apply for
entrance.
Saint Peter to First Clothier—'"Whit can you say for
yourself, sir, did you have strictly one price':"
First Clothier— "Well, no, not exactly, Peter. You see
my customers were in the habit of always beating down,
so, in order to protect myself. I usually did about like
this: For instance, if a suit of clothes cost me $10 I
marked it $20, my customer beat me down to $17.50,
and as he was satisfied to get it at his price, why I let
him have it."
Saint Petei —"But don't you know that was wrong ?
You could afford to sell that suit for $13.50 and make
good interest on your investment, and if your customer
was a poor man, the wrong was doubly as bad."
First Clothier —Well, you know, Peter, business is
business, I had to size up my man and do the best I
could. I didn't think that was wrong."
Saint Peter —"You will have to go below, sir, and re
form. If you would enter here you must be able to say
truthfully that you never knowingly overcharged any
body. Next!"
(Second Clothing Man enters.)
Saint Peter —"Where are you from, my man? Tell us
all about yourself.''
Secon dClothiet —"I am from Los Angeles, Saint Peter:
my etore was corner Spring and Temple streets; it was
called the LONDON CLOTHING CO.; I always tried to
give my customers the best goods for the least money;
had strictly one price ; was as polite and accommodating
as I knew how; marked my goods in plain figures at the
most reasonable profit; never told any person a lie to
sell my goods."
Saint Peter—"Yow'rr the man I am looking for, Mr.
London Clothing Co. We are sorely in need of an hon
est clothier. Enter, sir, and welcome."
