A RICHMOND SCANDAL.
Alleged Manipulation- of n Text
Hook -Publ.hhing Houe.
llichmond, Ya., Nov. 5. When Capl.Cu.s
sons resigned the chairmanship of the his
torj committee of Lee Camp a few days ago
without giving any reason lor his action,
it caused much interest. This committee is
charged with the selection of a history that
will be truthrul and impartial to the Con
federate side and which, when selected,
will be used as a text-book m Virginia
schools and possibly all over the bouth.
Grand Commander Stubbs, of Virginia,
who is also a memberor the history commit
tee, accepted Custon's resignation and com
plimented him on hfb record as a soldier.
Tonight at Lee Camp meeting a preamble
and resolution wa, offered, charging that
members of the history committee had
been and were now in the employ of the
American Book Company.andreceiving pay
from that concern, and nailing on Grand
Commander Stubbs to appoint a committee
to investigate those cli urges.
No names were usediu the discussion, and
after some objections to the wording of
the resdlutlou, it was passed unanimously.
Much conjecture exists but it is pre
sumed that Chairman Cu&ous furnished
the information upon which this action is
based, and that his knowledge of this
conditions of affairs in the committee
caused him to resign.
MAHK TWAIN'S COMMENT.
His Humorous m-niiirk About tho
Last Sitting of the Helehsrath.
Vienna, Nov. 5. The last sitting of the
Kelchrath eclipsed in disorder any of the
previous riotous bcssions. Much or the
language used by the houoiuble members
was too filthy to print. Among the more
delicate expressions were; "drunken hog,"
giwnop loufer,'" "your grandmother was
begotten on a dimgheap," etc, Verest
cimgui, the Kusstau artist, and Mark
1 wain were present logetherat the ittlng.
Verestcltagtn sketched the most prominent
members m the more striking incident. He
said afterwards that the proceedings were
a good substitute tor barricades and street
liChting.
Axark Twain likened the scene to one
Iip once witnessed at a meeting in the west,
when a gentleman was summarily hanged
for stealing another's horse.
Then a tribunal was bolemnly formed,
which sat In Judgment on the corpi-e, nnl
ratified the sentence. The pioceedings,
he said, were lively, and lesembled those
he had seen In the keiciisrath, although
so far as noise wab concerned the latter
was easily rirst. He was convinced that
somebody had been hanged in the Keich
srath. but he was uot present long enough
to make sure.
A MARVELOUS ESCAPE.

Hundred and Forty-seventh street. He
was thrown, together with his bicycle,
over the retaining wall and fell forty feet
on to the tracks of"the New York Cen

and he escaped with a broken hip and in
ternal injuries. His -escape from Instant

New York, Nov. 0. United States Senator
Edward O. Wolcott and Gen. Paine, two
of President McKinley's commissioners on
bimetallism, who have been abroad trying
to induce European countries to Join with
America for the free coinage of silver, got
here tonight ou the Campania. Former
Vice President Stevenson, the third com
missioner, was expected on the same
steamer, but at the last minute he de
cided to wait. Senator Wolcott and Gen.
Taine declined to say anything about their
mission abroad, which was successful iu
France, but unsuccessful iu England.
benuior Wolcott saiu that as his mission
had been an official one he did not feel
that he had a right to speak until he had
made a report of tho result of his work to
the President. He said he would stay iu
New York a nay or so and would theugo to
WrtHblng.un. It was possible, he suid, thai,
he might hae something to say before he
left for Washington.
Frank Lane, the Californian, who is
leader of the national silver party, ulio
arrU'ed on theCuinpanifi. Ho bald that the
failure of President SleKjnley's commis
sion was not a matter of disappointment,

'There never was any hope of accom

Lane. 'The commibsion received courteous
treatment, but tnat is all. 1 tell you,
though, that thereare plenty or bimetallists
in England, and the number is constantly
increasing. There is nothing to do here
in this country now, but wait and let the

The New York Senator Has Recov

no Claims That the Assembly Will
Bo Republican by a Fair
Mnrain.
New Tork, Nor. C.-Senator Tlatt has
recovered sufficiently from the shock he
received on Tuesday to talk about the
present situation. He claims that lie
will control the Uext legislature. The
Democratic state committee claims that
he will not. The balance of power, the
Democrats allege, is held by the New
York city and Brooklyn independents,
Senator riatt admits tliat he will be unable
to control the independents, though ull
of them are Republicans.
"There is no foundation for the reports
or claims that the Republicans have lost
the assembly,'' the Senator said. "The
organization has elected without cavil
or question not less than seventy-eight
men who can be depende-". anon to stand
together and organize the -"ssemblyln the
interest of Republican good government.
"Wc. shah prolmblv have more when the

THE OLIVE PECKKR MUTINY'.
Members of the Crew- Hrought Hack
From Hrazil.
Norfolk, Ya., Nov. 5. There arrived in
Hampton Roads just after midnight this
morning the American training ship Lan
caster, homeward bound after a two
years cruise in South Atlantic waters.
She had on board members of the crew
of Hie American bark OHve Pecker, of
Boston, charged with murder and ars,n
on shipbouid. These men are John Ander
son, M. Herschberg, John Lynn, Andrew
Marsh, Martin Bcdstad and Juan Bearrid.
The facts in the case are these:
In June last, while the bark was off the
coast of Brazil, Anderson, the cook, in a
fit of rage, shot the commander, Capt.
Whitman, of Boston, while the hitter
was asleep ou deck. It seems Anderson
thought he had been cruelly treated, and
took this method of revfnge. .having mur
dered the captain, Anderson shot the
mate, William Saunders, who was in the
rigging. By this time Andeison seemed
mad with a thirst for blood.
The other members of the crew sought
places of safety, but Anderson, who still
held the pistols, was master of the situa
tion, and threatened to shoot the first man
who disobeyed hisorders. He marshaledthe
men oa deck, one by one, under the muzzle
of hU revolver, and ordered a boat lowered.
He then ordered the men to take their
places in the boat. They obeyed, and
Anderson set fire to the vessel. The
bodies of the murdered men were burned
with the ship.
Then Anderson ordered the crew to pull
abhore. Lauding upon the open beach near
Bahia, in Brazil, the crew drew lots to
decide which one of their number bhould
accompany Anderson, who bad determined
to go to Bahia. The lot fell to Lynn- Ac
cordingly aa soon as Anderson and Lynn
setoff to Bahia the other four men started
ill an opposite direction. At the first settle
ment they told their horrible story.

him ana his arrest soon followed. All the

to bi held as witnesses.

THE TROUBLES OP SPAIN

Awaited Willi' Some Anxiety.

Madrid, Nov. fi.-Tbe return to Spain of
Gen. Weyler is awalteljmy the governmunt
with some finxitly ov?ngno the demen
stratlons ii. his honor? that are being pre
pared by his admirers. These are largely
officers who sympathise with Weyiers
metnods in Culm, or who owe their promo
tions to him, or who fcerved under him
The CarllMs and Rarfuullcaus are both
aiming U. captuie llieT snpport or these
"Weylerites and thus, compromise Weyler.
The Carlists are prepared to go further
than the Republicans and they already
boast that they have-seenceda larg.' nu.n
ber or officers to their canse by an acUve
propaganda throughout the army.
The government is unwilling to make a
martyr of Weyler,. a-id Is nlbo anxious
to gauge the Importance of the moveineutof
his friends. It will, therefore, nlune, no
check on the demon? rations, altluiugh,

pose the com-nandantof whatever port at
which Wevler may land will immediately
visit him "and request in the name of the
government that he declare whether he
used the offending expressions. If his
reply is unsatisfactory ho will be court
martialed. In addition to these troubles, glowing
our of the return of 'Weyler. the govern
ment is mixious concornlng the growth of
discontent among tho commissioned army
efficeiK who have not served abroad. It
seems that they have several grievances,
the principal one being the favjritism
that is shown to officers who have re
turned from Cuba and the Philippine
Islands, winch is deeply resented. A hun
dred officers met secretly at a m-lMary
club in Madrid the other night, and
strong speeches denouncing this favoritism
were made.
The government leirrned of the meeting
and was very much fncensed. Gen Corrin,
minister of war. mads it known that he
intended to enforce discipline, and that
he would vse the lenders of the mal
contents to be court-martialed and sltot
if it biiotilt' be necessary as an example
to tneothers. The colonels of the different
regiments veie ordered to parade their
officers ard wax n them of theconsequen'.e.
tiiut would follow. attempts to subvert
discipline. The officers promised to obey
faithfully the army regulations, b.it it is
believed that more secret meetings are
being held- Similar meetings have oc
curred at Toledo Barcelona, Victoria, Sar.i
gossa and elsewhere.1
The editors of three provincial papers
which published the news of these me-t-ings
have been arrested and will be tried
by court-martial. The Corespondeneia
Mill;,air has openly advised the officers to
mutiny unless their avrongs are redressed.
11 is not likely that these grievances will
be removed and tfie submission of the
malcontent will bt only outward.
WILD SCENSIri OF DISORDER.
Disgraceful AefJons at the Last
Sitting of the'Keiehsrath.
Vienna, Nov. 5 The sitting of the
Reichsrath, which began at 7:30 o'clock
last evening, was' continued until the
middle of the forenoon. The greatest dis
order prevailed throughout. The closure
proposals which were made with the
object of putting- an end to the debate
on the Austro-Hungarian compromise,
caused a fresh tumult, led, as before, by
Herr Wolff, who "-started the uproar uy
banging the lid of his desk.
He kept up the din for some time, when
several deputies Cried ;to wrench the lid
from him, and a hand to hand struggle en
sued, in which ina"uy .members were in
volved. Closure Was finally passed amid
deafening uproar,- deputies shouting at the
top of their voices and banging their
dosks.
At 10 o'clock this forenoon the compro
mise was referred to the budget committee
and the sitting clossd. - It was a veritable
pandemonium from beginning to end. Dis
order of every description prevailed, mem
bers in every partof the chamber pounding
desks, scuff ltng, shouting and heaping abuse
upon one another until they were obliged to
desist through sheer exhaustion. Deputy
Berks took advantage of a lull in the storm
to move an interpolation, asking whether
the government was prepared to assist
otticr countries in their efforts to counter
act the depreciation of silver.
Speaking in the secret session of the
Reichsrath yesterday morning Br. Karl
Lueger (anti-Semite), burgomaster of
Vienna, made a personal attack upon the
Emperor, on account of his majesty's pro
Hungarian sentlrtfents. The Hungarians, he
declared, had always been enemies of
Austria.
The examplo of the Reichsrath was
followed by tbevGerman Nationalists, at
a meeting heldbyjthem after the adjourn
ment of the chamber.. The meeting was
brief, owing tothe excitement of tnjj
participants. IfcSwas no sooner called to
order than the:?ceue3 ia the Reichsrath
were re-enacted.lhe voice of the speaker
was drowned in the tuuiultr. and in a few
minutes a free fight was in progress, which,
was stopped by the police, who cleared
the hall.

Bab I more, Md.. Nov. G. Fresh com
plications aiose today in summing up the
iesult oV Maryland's election, nad It is
new certain that the court of appeals
will be called upon to interpret the elec
tion law, which wrb tried last year for
the firt time. In Somerset county there
are charges of serious irregularities in

acting under advice of Counsel Thomas S
Hudson, reorganized and elected one of
the Republican members secretary. Then
the election judges were summoned to
make new returns tomorrow.
The Democratic member claims that the
board had no legal light to reorganize
and tha the Republican secretary i.as
no right to act. Consequently he tefuses
to act witr- them, and the matter vill go
to the courts. Somerset has returned Re-
publican members of the house or dele

law, and should the votes be finally rejected
it will itouhtlesb affect several Republican
members of the legislature in other counties.
Ir mine of tin counties there were a largo

ALL OPPOSED TO AUTONOMY
Enthusiastic Meeting in New York
of Cuban Revolutionists.
An Appenl lo the Government of
tlie Republic to Accept No
Compromise.
New York, Nov. 5. The meeting which
the Cuban revolutionists held tonight at
Chlckering Hall to express their oppo
sition to autonomy was one of the most
enthusiastic patriotic assemblages ever
seen in New York. The hall was crowded
from the platform to the doors, and many
could not find even standing room. The
house was decorated with the flags
of America aud those of the
Spanish colonies which are now strug
Eling to bo free.
nie ineeiiug was presided over by Dele
gare Tomas Estrada Talma. All the
speakers were representative Cubans aud
most of them coming from the autonomist
party, their declaration that autonomy
was a failure, is of the greatest import
ance. The manifesto from the Cuban
colony in America, winch was adopted on
Monuay at tne Abtor House meeting, was
proclaimed and enthusiastically applauded.
The document had ucen signed by nearly
400 persons.
Alter the reading of the manifesto the
speechmuking was begun. Dr. Gabriel
Campos, Senor Heredia, Br. Enrique Jose
Be Varona aud Antonio Bravo y Correoso
all reviewed the political situation in
Spain and concluded that the men now
hi office, having always been npiw.sed to
autonomy, their promises to establish this
regime could not be considered sincere.
Senor Jose Carcia Montes and Br. Gcr
niayo also made addresses. The manifesto
says that since Spain has become convinced
that the Cubans caunot be put hack under
the Spanish yoke by force of arms her
ministers are endeavoring by artful
methods to foist a bogus autonomy on
the people and induce them to lay down
their arms. This is merely to induce the
people to biibmit when all the old abuses
would be returned to.
"lne ofler or autonomy," Ihe manifesto
sajs, "is merely an expedient to which
the Madrid government has recourse now
that it has exhausted all the means of
violence and crime." '4To accept this al
leged rerorm,"' the manifesto continues,
''would be not only to regardas useless the
sacrifice and the blood of so many thou
sands of our countrymen, but to close our
eyes to the dictates of experience, the
teacher of foresight. Our ,ad history has
taught us that Spain learns nothing through
adversitj.
"For these reasons, we, who affix our
signatures to this document, representatives
ot the different manifestations of activity
and of social labor in Cuba, mombersof the
different political parties that have ex
isted on the island, welded together now iu
one common aspiration for the public weal
and peace, have a greed to address ourselves
to the government; of the republic, as the
representative of our country, to reiterate
our allegiance to the revolutionary cause
we defend, and shall continue to defend
until the hour of its definite triumph.''

I'ingue Many More Days.
New Orleans, Nov. G. In spite of the
increase here today of the number of deatna
from yellow fever, the situation is regarded
as more promising. Cold weather is re
ported from Texas and north and central
ijjui.Miina, .and a frost and probably a
rrceze is predicted for the iieigliborxioodof
New Orleans by Sunday or Monday .'ligtM,
TIh cold weatner cannot bav any effect
in diminishing tne number of new cnttjs
until the time of incubation, six day, is
passed, so that there ie not likely to be
any marked d.;crea' In the new cases re
ported until the end of next week, and it
is probable that in that time there will bo
an increase in the number of d&aths, a-s wa
the ease today, as the cold weather, while
it kills off the fever, kills off many of
the patients also.
The Memphis board of health tcdayad

perceptible decrease in the fever.

Japanese had already been reported sy-jc.
There is no record in any prevh.us epi

Two autopsies were nude today on full
blooded negroes. They proved beyond
the shadow or doubt tharbath had died -t

that the negro can have the yellow feter
and die of it. New Orleans touay aban
doned all quarantines and will not require
