Democrats Likely to Gala Senators In New

Illinois and Kansas.
Special to The Moaxrxa Call,
Washington, Nov. 6.— Senator Gorman
In an interview here to-day said the victory
of the Democracy was an expression of the
people against the radical measures such as
the Republicans had brought forth during
this Congress. The Senator was asked If
he thought the victory would be lasting; if
it would give the Democrats the next Presi
dent He replied: "It depends upon their
course. If they are cautious and conserva
tive they may expect a long lease of power."
Senator Dolph, in explanation of the re
sult of the election, said to-day that it was
an "off" year, and the friends of the tariff
were inactive, while those on tbe other side
were working with all their might. " The
manufacturers," he said, " got what they,,
wanted when the McKinley bill was
passed, . and they did not care any more
about it. The result would have been dif
ferent if the passage of the bill had not
been delayed until just before the election.
The artificial increase of prices made in
tome commodities without the slightest
reason also had its effect."
Hew York. .
New York, Nov. 6.— Associated Press re
ports show the election of sixty-eight Demo
cratic Assemblymen in New York State and
sixty Republican.. The former will have on
joint ballot eighty-one votes against the bit
ter's seventy-nine, which insures tho elec
tion of a Demo rat.c successor to Sen uor
Evarts. The Democrats claim that two As
sembly districts credited to the Republicans
belong tj them.
• The Commercial Bulletin says editorially:
Could all the parties be expected to act
calmly the sooner and more completely
these {tariff) changes came the better it
would be for all concerned, but no such tem
per could be hoped for. Under the circum
stances ignorance and fear would produce
paralysis, and for that reason the change
Irom the present tariff to that which will be
found to satisfy the people may need to tie
approached tentatively, or upon some grad
uated plan. Under any circumstances the
situation upon which we have now fairly en
tered affords no occasion for serious appre
i • :.-ii in any direction, and wherever the
industrialist., have admitted to themselves
the dreaded transition must come they will
gin to see so many ameliorations and
hopes iv the broad vista of ire? commerce
as will make them impatient to reach the
promised laud of untrammeled industry.
Klernan's News Agency has issued the
following Washington special: A promi
nent man in Federal legislation says the re
sult of the election gives strung Hopes to the
advocates of free coinage, and that over
forty Republicans in the House will now
vote with the Democrats for free silver coin
age. The members are in favor of a
Free Silver Coinage Bill, and such a bill
< ould, therefore, be passed over the resi
dent's veto, if he should veto it, much easier
than the Bland bill was passed over the
Hayes veto in 1878.
Warner Miller was interviewed regarding
the election. He said : "The loss of the
Legislature and the United States Senator
ship is a severe blow. 1 think thedcal made
in this city is responsible for the loss of the
Assembly; but this is no time for recrimina
tion. The Republican party cannot be
crushed out of existence by a single defeat.
There is no reason why we should not re
gain all the ground we have lost and elect
the President in 1892."
• Ex-Senator Thomas C. Piatt said: "All
the lessons of defeat in the past have been to
draw the party closer together. The, Re
publicans will re-form their ranks and go
forward once more, not disheartened."

New Yobk, Nov. 6.— The delegation to

New Yobk, Nov. 6.— Senator Sherman
says of the election: "McKinley was
hired in a district itli a Democratic ma
jority of 20.0. He told me before the election
thai he did-not expect to succeed with such
odds against him. But I sh-11 not be sur
prised if it makes him Governor of Ohio
next year. 1 have seen such convulsions a
dozen times or more, but tliey have no per

Chicago, Nov. The Daily News (Ind.)
makes a forecast of the makeup of the Fifty
second Congress. Countiug the Farmers' Al
liance men with the Democrats, it shows a
total of 99 Republicans and 233 Democrats,
a Democratic majority of 133. •*'*
The Tribune (li.) finds the result in the
State Legislature on joint ballot to be. Re
publicans 102, Democrats 100, Alliance 2.
Chicago, Nov. C— Chairman Jones of the
Republican Stale Central Committee con
cedes the Legislature to the Democrats, but
claims the election of the It-publican State
ticket by -000 to .000. The Democratic
State Central Committee is unwilling" to
. concede the claims of Jones in regard to
the State ticket. The official returns from
27 counties out of the 103 in the State show
a net gain of over 10.000 for tbe Democratic
State ticket
Chicago, Nov. C. The Republicans car
ried Cook County in which Chicago is lo
cated for the head of their ticket, with all
of the precincts heard from un fficially.
The figures give Gilbert (R.) for Sheriff 824
plurality - over Law ler (D.). Kern, the
Democratic candidatefor Couuty Treasurer,
is victorious by 33G5 plurality. Kern is a
German and made gains in the districts
where the Lutheran vote is strong. ;
Spuing field, Nov. 6.— General Palmer
this evening received a telegram from
Carthage saying that Edwards and Myers,
two Democrats, are shown by the official
count to have been elected to the Legisla
ture. G-neral Palmer, on reading the dis
patch, said: "-This makes 103 Democrats
on joint ballot a majority of one." The 103,
tin- General explained, included the Farm
ers' Mutual Beneficial Alliance men, all
three of whom, the General claimed, were
pledged to his suppoit on the ballot for
United States Senator.
Chicago, Nov. 6.— Eighty-four counties of
Illinois, including Cook, out of a total of
102, give Amberg (R.), for State Treasurer,
a plurality of 2811 over Wilson (D.). R;iab
(D.). for State Superintendent of Public In
-truciion, has a plurality of 31,728 over Ed
waids (fit). Raab carried by a heavy major
ity, not only Cook County, in which Chicago
Is siiui.ted, but also lias a 'ong lead through
out the State generally. Harrison's majority
in the Statu in 1888 was 22,000.

through this city last night on bis way to
Florida. In ply to the query. "To what
do you attribute the result of the elections?"
he said : "To a lack of votes. It looks to
me as though tbe best thing to do just I now
is to saw wood. The returns indicate that
the farmers and laboring men have done the
business for us in this State."
Philadelphia, Nov. Alex K. Craig
a>.) Is elected to Congress from the Twenty
fourth District, defeating Andrew J. Stew-'
art by over fOOO votes. This district lv 1888
gave Ray (It) 4338 majority. Complete fig
ures now received from every district in the
State show that the new delegation- will
stand 17 Republicans and 11 Democrats— a
Democratic gain of 4.
Philadelphia, Nov. Complete re

turns from every county root up a plurality
for Pattison (D.) for Governor of 16,933, a
Democratic gain, as compared with IbBB, of
59,5-4. Though Delamater, tho Republican
candidate for Governor, Is defeated, all his
colleagues on the State ticket are elected by
decisive majorities.
Nebraska. -
Omaha. Nov. C— Boyd (D.) is elected
Governor by 4000 to 5000. Most of the Re
publican State ticket below the Governor is
elected. The Fanners' Alliance have the
Legislature, two Congressmen and most of
the county offices. .
Omaha, Nov. 6.— Seventy-one counties in
this Slate give the following vote for Gov
ernor: Boyd (D.) 65,143, Richard. (R.) 60,
--040. Powers (Alliance) 59,594. There are 18
counties yet to bear from. These gave a
vote for Harrison two years ago of 14,055,
Cleveland 8495. With the exception of Sa
lina and Clay, these counties are all located
in the remote western section of the State,
and it is doubtful whether they will poll as
full a vote as in the last Presidential election.
A fair estimate of the total vote of these
counties would be 18,000. it I. very difficult
to make a reliable forecast as to what these
counties have done this year for either of
the three gubernatorial candidates. The
total vote of the State will be from 20.-.000 to
210,000, and the candidate who receives 70,
--000 votes is certain of election. Boyd is now
in the lead, but still lac 4858 of that num
ber. The chances are that his voto will
exceed 70,000. because the Alliance in tho
western cart of the State is chiefly made up
of Republicans.
Minnesota. ',
St. Pact, Nov. 6.— The latest figures
from the Fifth Congressional District indi
cate the possible election of Haiverson (Al
liance). _
Minneapolis, Nov. 6. — Returns from
sixty-six couuties give Merriam (R.) for Gov
ernor a plurality of 3826, with fifteen coun
ties to hear from. It looks as if Merriam
were elected. The Fifth Congressional Dis
trict is still in doubt. Castle (D.) is elected
in the Fourth, Linds (li.) in the Second,
Harries (D.) in tlie First. O. M. Hall (D.) in
the Third. j The Alliance will probably hold
the balance of power in the State Legisla
ture,
St. Fact, Nov. 6.— Complete and esti
mated returns from all but seven counties of
the State give Merriam tit.) 83,658 and Wilson
(D.) 76,340, a plurality for Merriam of 7310.
The remaining counties are expected to cut
this plurality down, and the Republican
Committee is claiming Merriam's election by
over 1000; while Hie Democratic Committee's
claim is 600 for Wilson. Halverson (Farmers'
Alliance) is probably elected to Congress in
the Fifth District over Comstcck (15.) and
Whiteman (1).). In the Second District,
General Baker, the Alliance candidate with
the Democratic indorsement, claims bis
election over Llnd (1..). If this proves to bo
the case, the next Congressional delegation
from this State will be three Democrats and
two Alliance. _
Ohio.
Toledo. Nov. 6.— A Canton special says:
The lack of telegraphic facilities in Holmes
County prevents the exact ascertainment of
the vote in McKinley's district. Stark
County gives McKinley 700 majority, and
Medina 1400. Wayne gives Warwick 390
majority, and the latest advices from Holmes
give him 1980. WcKinby concedes War
wick's election by 300. This will be verified
unless the vote of the precincts in Holmes,
which is estimated, show unexpected gains
for McKinley.
Canton (Ohio), Nov. 6.— McKinley said
this afternoon to an Associated Press re
porter that while conceding his probable de
feat by a small majority he is greatly satis
fied with the result. He said the issue was
between a protective tariff and a tariff for
revenue only. It was clear and distinct and
nothing el>e enteied into the canvass. His
bill was the center of the assault. There
suit he regards as a signal victory. A ma
jority of over 2900 Democrats in his district
last year was reduced to about 200 this year.
He carried his own ward and city and
lountyby large majorities, showing unpre
cedented gains. ___
__&_B_S.
Kansas City, Nov. 6.— Returns received
to-day from Kansas do not change the situ
ation materially. The only positive
is the certain election of Broderick (It.) over
Mi onlight (D.) in the First Congressional
District. The State ticket is still in doubt
with tlie chances favoring the .Farmers' Al
liance.
Kansas Citt, Nov. 6.— An estimate of
the result of the Legislature of Kansas gives
the following: Republicans, 73; anti-Re
publicans, including Farmer-' Alliance and
Democrats, 90. Of the 75 Republicans about
15 Senators pledged themselves to vote ac
-1 cording to the will of the people of their
districts as expressed in the vote for repre
sentatives; nine of these district, returned
Alliance men. Ingalls, to secure his re
election, must secure 84 votes. The Legis
lature is now apparently against him by 15
votes at least, and possibly 24.
Chairman -Buchanan of the Kansas State
Central Committee has telegraphed to the
Associated Press that Humphrey (R.) is
elected Governor. All but eighteen counties
give a plurality of 4989. These eighteen
counties have a total vote of only 30,000, and
they may counted upon to in, rease his
plurality, Buchanan asserts.
Icwa.
Dcs Moines, Nov. Nearly complete
unofficial returns on the Secretary of State,
with alow counties partly estimated, show
McFarland (R.) has a plurality'of 2183. The
remainder of the State ticket is probably
divided. The latest Congressional returns
elect Henderson (II.) in the Third District
and Flick in the Eighth. The State's delega
tion to Congress will stand six Republicans,
five Democrats.
Dcs Moines, Nov. 6.— Complete unoffi
cial returns from seventy-four counties give
McFarland (It.) for Secretary of State,
146,-07; Chamberlain (D.)", 146,152, a gain of
7783 ever last year's vote. The twenty-five
counties unreported gave Hutchison (K.) for
Governor 65.". plurality in 1889. This indi
cates the election of McFarland by 3600
plurality. The remainder of the Republican
State ticket is elected by pluralities some
what smaller. : ...-.";

E. de Forrest (D.) in the Fourth.
Hartford, Nov. 6.— The Courant's re
vised figures indicate that the Connecticut
Legislature will stand: Senate, 7 Republi
cans and 17 Democrats; House, Republicans
133, Democrats 119— a Republican majority
on joint ballot of 4. The State vote at the
present lime shows: Merwin (R.) 63,967,
Morris (I).) 67,663, Augur (P.) 3469, scatter
ing 257. Morris lacks 31 of a majority. In
this calculation fourteen towns are unofficial.

Holbrook, Nov. 6.— Election returns are
coming in slowly, but show large gains for
the Republicans. Smith, the Democratic
delegate for Congress, will not l?ave the
county with over. 100 majority, against 243
two jeers ago. Baldwin, for joint Council
man, will not have 50 majority, while Bow
man for Councilman, Potter for the House,
Barnes for Supervisor, Hollister for Pro
bate Judge, all Republicans, are undoubt
edly elected. Two precincts, over 100 miles
in the interior, to bear lroui, will change
their majorities slightly and may elect
others. Holbrook is selected as the county
seat by a small majority.

Detroit, Nov. 6.— lt is thought the whole

HEED'S SUCCESSOR.
Aspirants for the Speakership of the Fifty*
second Congress.
Indianapolis, Nov. 6. — Congressman
Byniiin, in an interview to-night, announced
his candidacy for Speaker of the next
House. His majority is -500, the largest he
ever received, and nearly three times as
large as his majority two years ago. He
thinks the propriety of putting a Northern
and Western man in the chair will be recog
nized by a majority of Democrats and that
bis chances are excellent.

THE FOREIGN _*KESS.
English and French Papers K--j_ice Over the
Fr*r-Trad. Victory.
London, Nov. 6.— A1l of the morning pa
pers make long editorial allusions* to the
American elections. The- Morning Tost
(Conservative) says: If we may draw any
conclusion' from the striking results of
Tuesday's elections in the 1 United (States,
where politics are mainly the occupation of
a select tody of trained practitioners in
electoral tactic?, the conclusions from one
election or another must always be drawn
very cautiously. If the elaborate exeiti.ms
of Tuesday have any reality, they mean
that had the Democratic party in 1888 pos
sessed leaders of more discreetness and res
olution the strange episode, of the last Con
gress might never have occurred. The Mc-
Kinley bill is a matter on which we readily
admit the Americans are the best judges of
their own affairs, as of silver legislation.
There is, however, hardly any doubt that
the recklessness with which the Republican
majority risked the most important interests
of the people in their dealings with the cur
rency has probably had a great deal to do
with their present disaster.
The Standard (Conservative) says: Though
the country is just now decidedly opposed to
tbeMcKinley tariff and may very likely re
main so, its speedy repeal is not at all cer
tain. To do away with it and substitute
even a greatly modified form of free trade
would require the concurrence of both the
President and the Senate, and neither of
these can yet be counted ou. If, therefore,
an enlightened and more truly patriotic
fiscal policy is to finally prevail in America,
it can only he after a struggle in which the
present battle will only be regarded as a
reconnoissance in force.
'I he Telegraph (Independent) says: Yet,
though the author of the tariff has met with
disaster, and the patty which supported it
has lost heavily at the polls, the English
manufacturers must not rashly suppose that
we shall Immediately experience any bene
fit from the triumph of the Democrats. .
The News says: - The result is less sensa
tional, though hardly less significant, than
would be the conversion of the American
people to Cobdenisui. They are already
tired ol the preposterous McKinley set,
and at the end of another year, when the
new Congress will probably meet, they will
be so. heartily sick that their Representa
tives may carry them a long way iv the
direction of a revenue tariff. #
The Chronicle says: Protection has re
ceived a blow from which it will not easily
recover. '• The ill-advised • extravagance of
the McKinley party will, it is not unlikely,
sharpen the line dividing - Democrats aud
Republicans.
: The 7, Standard says: :.■ Tho Democratic
victory is a dramatic answer of - the Ameri
can citizens to the attempt to impose more
than war taxation in time of peace. The
McKinley tariff has taught . them a . useful
lesson.
..The Times says: The Republican rout is
probably without a parallel in American
electoral annals. The significance of the
Democratic: victory in Pennsylvania 'can
hardly be overestimated. ; It is sincerely to
be hoped that Mr. Elaine's view that the
defeat of I Delamater would -be the death
blow to protection was correct., The Ameri
can people have expressed their, opinion , on
tho recent Republican policy in very pro
nounced and unmistakable terms. _> ; •

was defeated created a tremendous sensa
tion iii France and throughout the Conti

employes alike know his name. The press

do him justice. •'•

Special to Thk Moknino Call.
Washington, Nov. .6. — Major-General
Schofield, commanding the . United - States
Army, in his annual report says, in part:
"It may. be ; asserted that all that Is now
requisite for a final and peaceful settlement
of the great Indian problem is the wise, just
and humane treatment of the Indians upon
their reservations, in the presence of such a
military : force -as will i deter - the youug
and | restless.*, among •' V them '! . from at

their ancestors. * The \ time , has now come
when the future or, probable military neces

that it may be prepared at the shortest notice
to respond to any call which may be made
upon its services aud at the salve time to
assist in all practical ways in preparing the
militia of the several States, or the National
Guards, for active service in time of need.
"It is believed to be so manifest to all who
will consider the subject that a demonstra
tion is unnecessary that the important sea
board cities of the United States be so forti
fied, armed and manned as to be capable of
self-defense against the attack of any foreign
fleet; and each of the sea coasts oft the
United States should be provided with an
adequate fleet of sea-going bai tie-ships,
capable of attacking upon the broad ocean
any hostile fle't which might attempt to
blockade the harbors or destroy our Com
merce. if our import int seaports are ade
quately fortified and armed, one such fleet,
it is presumed, will be sufficient for ea.h of
the great oceans. The military policy of the
United States will never require such a de
fense on the northern frontier as was pro
posed by tho Fortification Board of (885,
and carefully selected garrisons as a ueucli
for the concentration of a force in einer-
gency are suggested instead.' Satisfactory
progress has been made at Watervliet in the
fabrication of experimental and mortars
of the highest type."
General S'liofield describes at length the
str.iits to which the department has been
put by past legislation i educing the number
of privates in the army. Ho wants the limit
rai-ed to at least 30,000, and says without
this number a peace organization cannot be
made thoroughly effective, and cannot be
relied upon for service which may imme
diately be required of the regular troops in
an emergency and before the ranks can be
filled by recruits or volunteers called into
the field. In this connection the General
suggests that whenever ' such . Increase is
made - provision ■ should be made for '- or
ganization of a large battalion of young men
between the ages of 16 an 1 '20 years, selected
with respect to their intelligence and good
character, with a view to their education for
service as non-commissioned officers and
officers of either the regular force or the
militia, privilege being given to such young
men to enlist for a regular period of service,
or to receive honorable dis barges at their
own option at expiration of the course of in
struction. Such a school would be of very
great value to the military service of the
country. It is suggested that .steps be taken
without delay to organize in all the seaboard
States a due proportion of heavy artillery
militia batteries for a service of fortifications
in those States, and that these batteries be
reported to the War Department, In order
that places of instruction be assigned to
them, where they can spend an Annual en
campment in company with regular troops
and under th* immediate instruction of ac
complished artillery officer*. Regimental or
ganizations for such artillery batteries are
not necessary. In the interest of economy,
probably biennial Instead of annual instruc
tion of infantry troops for field exercise on a
large scale will be found sufficient.
In conclusion, General Scholicld says that
several measures euacted by the present
Congress will, prove of great and lasting
benefit to ths military service, and the zeal
and fidelity with which the duties of the
army have been performed merit commen
dation. B___KS-_-_ra____MßHnHß_______l

BONDED RAILROADS.
Financial Condition of the Systems In
debted to tlie Government
Chicago, Nov. 6.— The report of the Com
missioner of Railroads contains full inform
ation in regard to the condition of the several
railroad companies under the jurisdiction of
his office for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1890. As to the improvements in bonded
roads the Commissioner says: "I am able to
report that many Improvements have re
cently been ai,d are continually being nude.
These' improvements, where they are made
upon bonded roads, are of .especial value to
the Government, as they not only increase
the earning capacity of the road, but add
largely to the value of the property."
The amount received from the bonded
railroads this year was slightly below the
amount' received for the preceding year.
This, the Commissi ncr says, is not owinc
to a decrease in business, out to the fact of
unusual expenditures by the Union Pacific
Company in the purchase of new rolling
stock. As to the present financial relations
between the bonded roads and the Govern
ment the Commissioner says: "The same
unfortunate condition of things exists now
that always existed sines the bonds granted
in aid of the construction were issued, viz. :
That the amounts annually received from
the roads tall largely below the amount
of the interest annually accruing from
subsidy roads. Tlie debts, therefore, due
the Government from these roads, instead
of beins: reduced, as it was the evident ex
pectation of Congress that they would be,
are rapidly Increasing year by ear. This
increase, however, is not due to any failure
of the railroad companies to comply with
the provisions of the existing laws. The
fault rests iv the laws themselves. The per
cent of not earnings required by law to be
I aid in the discharge of Government obliga
tions is not great enough to meet the inter
est which annually accrues upon the bonds
leaned to and in the construction of tho
roads." b_____«_
The Commissioner adheres to the opinion
that it Will be necessary to extend the time
in which the railroads may meet their ob
ligations to the Government, He suggests
that in no event should the Government be
a loser by granting the extension. The total
net liability of the Union Pacific road to the
Government on June 30. 1880, was 851,717,
--502. The gross earnings of the bonded por
tion of the road amounted to 817,499,797, and
the expenses to 812,7_0,_*)9, leaving $4, 733,207
as net earnings, subject to the requirements
.if the law. he amount found due to. the
United States for the fiscal year 1889 was
81,076,139. The debt of the company on
June 30, 1890, was 8178,348,039, . and its
capital stock _-0,8G8,_00, making a total
liability of $239,710,529. The assets amounted
to 8274,343,441.
The liability to the Government of the
Central Pacific road is given as $53, . .20,7 65.
Gross earnings on aided portion of the
road amounted to $8,971,014, and expenses to
$7,002, leaving $1,309,122 as the net earn
ings, subject to the requirements of the law.

THAT REAR GUARD.
Stanley Talks at Length With
New York Reporters.
He Claims That His Criticisms Were More
.■-•■- • - .
Than Justified.
Tbe Explorer's Account ' of the Murder 'of
Major Barttelot— Accused of Inhuman
Treatment of Natives.
Special to The Morn in a Cam.
New York, Nov. 6.— H. M. Stanley, who
arrived on thesteamer Teutonic, was met
by bis manager, Major Pond, with a party.
Stanley was asked to say something about
the rear guard troubles and the stand the
London papers have taken on it since Mr.
Stanley's departure from England. ""I do
not wish to say much about it yet, and have
not read the London papers carefully enough
to express an opinion. I object to stir up
the matter unless lam forced to do so. The
log-books of the rear guard were signed day
by day by the officers of the day, Barttelot,
Barre or Kingston, while in camp, together
with the official reports of the officers.
am justified by all in my censure of the rear
guard, which was the cause of the attack
made upon me in the book."
With Stanley were his wife, Dorothy Ten
uant, her mother, Mrs. Tennant, Hamilton
Aide, a dramatist, who will act as historian
of the tour, and Lieutenant J. Mounteney
Jepbson, the favorite of Stanley.
In another Interview, referring to Bart
telol's diaries and Lieutenant Troup's book.
Stanley repeated what he has already said
as to the condition of the rearguard when
he returned from Albert , Nyanza. From
Yambaya he wrote at once to the Emm Re
lief Committee, telling them the rear column
was wrecked by the neglect of Its officers
and ihcir indifference to the interests of the
expedition. Referring to Troup, Stanley
said when he got to Zanzibar one of the first
things he found was a long letter from
Troup violently abusing Uarttelot. "I never
answered that letter," said ; Stanley, "be
cause* it needed a personal interview, as
there were many question* I found it neces
sary to a-k him myself, the principal one
being, Why he and others preferred to re
main and starve at Yambaya instead of
moving on; why they staid until so many of
their men had died from disease or been
killed. I never could get a satisfactory an
swer from Bouncy, and hoped to cet one
from Troup. I received another letter from
him, aud answered to -the effect i hat if he
would revise It I would publish it, as it con
tained many things unlit for publication.
He was so obstinate that he would not re
vise it, and sent it back, demanding that I
should publish it. I did not. Then Troup
wrote me a threatening letter, stating that I
would -have to lit prepared to meet such
measures as he might see fit to employ to
vindicate himself. 1 wrote him, saying if
he thought he was maligned unjustly to
go ahead. I could see many things con
nected with the rear guard that 1 should
prefer to keep from the public, but if he
wished to publish everythingliecould do so.
"I have Bonney's report, Troup's two let- 1
ter;. Ward's account, which I received, and,
more important than all, 1 have a log-book,'
signed by the officers day after day. With
out any other evidence that log-book of it
self would prove that I was justified in my
censure of the rear column, which was very
mild. in my letter to the committee. Am I
going to publish that log. Icmnotsay. I
think it belter to wait awhile, or until I have
read Troup's book. Honney could relieve all
this criticism by telling what he knows and
writing a plain, simple story of what took
place and how it was that Major Barttelot
was killer] ; how it was these men died like
sheep; how it was that this rear column, so
grandly equipped before starting, fell to rot."
Stanley this evening received several re
porters at bis hole! and talked at length
abeut the occurrences in Barttelot's camp.
"The sole cause of the killing," he said,
"was the Major's violent temper. As soon
as lie reached camp from Nyanza lis had
trouble with one of the Arab chiefs, because
enough couriers were not furnished, al
though Bonney told him he had already
plenty. Bartt.- lot bent the Arab in a horri
ble manner with a stick. Early on the
morning of July loth he was awakened by
loud singing ami beating of drums. Being
informed that it was the African custom in
saluting the rising sun, lie said, with an
oath, that he would shoot the first
person that refused to stop the noise,
and taking a revolver went out. Near the
chief's hut he found a woman who was
singing and men drumming. The woman
was the wife of the chief and when he cjm
mnnded her to cease singing she paid no at
tention to him, for all natives baled bim.
Barttelot then struck and kicked her. Her
husband, the chief, look down his rifle and
killed Barttilot on the spot." From such
reports as he could obtain, Stanley said, it
appeared that Uarttelot made himself dis
tasteful to the natives. He had the habit of
ridiculing them, which provoked them very
much. "For these reports," said Stanley,
"I don't rely on Bonney'. Both the Arab
and native chiefs - went over the matter
very minutely. -The log-book of the camp,
signed by Barttelot, Jauiieson, Bonney and
Ward, was simply one long account of re
morseless flogging and inhumanity. Bartte
lot even kicked his own attendant, the little
boy Soulti, and the boy died from the in
juries inflicted. . One . man took a piece of
raw meat because he was crazy with hunger,
and for this he received 300 lashes. As soon
as the man was able be ran away, but was
captured and shot by Barttelot's orders."
Stanley says Bonney told him, only a short
time ago, that half the horrors that existed
in that camp are not yet known.: Stanley,
when lie returns to England, may bring an
action for libel against. Barttelot's brother,
■in. order to have the matter sifted to the
bottom.
London, Nov. 6.— Troup's book adds lit
tle to the interviews already published. He
credits Stanley with a pit-conceived idea of
the causes of the disaster to the rear guard,
and with the rejection, as untrue, of any
statements failing to fit that idea. He en
larges upon the difficulties of a young and
inexperienced officer like Barttelot in deal
ing with wily Tippuo Tib, whom Stanley
himself was hardly able to manage, in ad
dition to keeping coutrol over the camp of
natives. ._
Troup quotes a letter from Stanley to
Barttelot, in - which Stanley expressed dis
trust of Tippoo Tib. I Troup says that after
seven and a half months had passed, Bartte
lot and a section of the expedition were will
ing to try to advance, but' the remainder, in
cluding himself, dissented because Stanley
had Impressed upon them the importance of
preserving the stores. He repeats that Bart
telot had ample warnings of the danger be
Incurred by venturing out alone. '
Lieutenant Troup . is inclined to acquit
Tippoo Tib of the charge of treachery, and
thinks that the latter met with considerable
difficulty in collecting porters.;
The book consists largely of interesting
details of the experiences of the rear col
umn - and Troup's '-; correspondence with
Stanley since the return of tbe expedition.

KOCH'S CONSUMPTION CURB.
The Professor's Method to Be Published for

Berlin, Nov. 6.— The discovery by Pro
fessor Koch of the Berlin University of a
method for the. cure of consumption by in
oculation with attenuated tubercular bacil
lus is still exciting the greatest interest
among the medical profession and laymen.
The National Zeitung says It is probable a
motion will be Introduced in the' Prussian
Diet looking to the establishment of a Bac
teriological Institute, which will be under
the direction of Profe.sor Koch. Emperor
William is deeply interested in the discov
ery, and receives frequent reports from Pro
fessor Koch regarding the progress he is
making iii his experiments. The Professor
declares lie is' not desirous of deriving any
material or personal advantage from his dis
covery. He says he will make public his
method for the benefit of humanity.
- Professor .Kcch is making experiments nt
the present time In Professor Senator's
wards of the Charity Hospital in this city
on eight slight cases of consumption.
From a reliable source a reporter learns
that the ereat difference between the lymph
used to fight small-pox and that used in the
battle against consumption is that Professor
Koch Jinoculates only persons who are al
ready stricken' with phthitis. This fact
proves it is not a preventive, as the small
pox lymph is.
- Professor Koch will announce bis iinve- t
tion by means of an illustrated lecture, '
which will be delivered before ' the
Medical Society some time within the next
six weeks. The statement that the lymph
