The General Explains His Political Status. He Will Not Take the Stump tor Harrison. Neither Will He Electioneer for Cleveland. His Washington Speech Bad NoPo ltiaal Slgnlncauoe — Two Distinguished Republican Bolters—Polit ical Gossip. By the Associated Press. New York, Oct. 4.—A morning paper says: Gen. Daniel Sickles will not go on the stump for Harrison in the pres ent campaign. He made a declaration last even'ng that shattered the hope of many Republicans who entertained this idear, based on the published rtport of General Sickles' speech to his boys of the third army corps at the rectnt re uhion in Washington. '•There was nothing of a political character in that speech," eaid the general laßt night. "My reference to General Harrison was not aa the can didate of the Republican party, but as a soldier and president of the United States. Neither candidate nor party were mentioned, and political signifi cance is given to tbe speech only by its adaptation to them." The general added: "For the first time I find myself a sort of a mngwump, with Berene indifference upon political par ties and partisan contention. Now, I shall not go on the. stump lor either one of the candidates. I did so with Governor Hill for Cleveland in 1888, and our reward was to be accused of knifing the ticket. I went out through the state with Governor Hill in 1888, at Cleveland's request. He bad found some trouble to handle tbe old soldiers, and be thought I could assist in keepicg them in line. I found them all glad enough to see me wherever we went, but they would not be shaken from their determination to vote for Harrison. They eaid: 'We are glad to see you, general, but you must not ask us to vote for Cleveland."' REPUBLICAN DESERTERS. Wayne MeVeagh ami Judge Cooley Going to Bolt Harrison. New York, Oct. 3.—The Times says: Statements were made in political circles last night with reference to tbe desertion from the Republican party of two Republicans of national prominence, which caused aome thinsr of a sensation where ever they were heard. Wayne Me- Veagh, United States attorney general under President Garfield, and ex-Judge Thomas M. Cooley of Michigan, for merly chairman of the interstate com merce commission, are the men said to have decided to give their support to the Democratic candidates and' their endorsement to tbe Demo cratic issues aa defined in tbia cam paign. There was reliable authority for the atatement that each of these men would soon make public letters in which, over their own signatures, they would set forth the reasons which had led to their change of heart. Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 3.—Judge Cooley thia afternoon declined to confirm the statement published in the New York Times this morning to the effect that he was about to write a letter bolt ing the Republican party and declaring in favor of Cleveland. All he would Bay was that tbe statement was unauthor ized, and that he was. in too poor health to enter actively into politics. ♦ STANFORD SPEAKS. The Senator Abroad Feels Sure or Repub lican Success at Home. Paris, Oct. 3.—United States Senator Leland Stanford arrived here today from Aix les-Baiues. His health has not improved. In an interview he said he 1 firmly believed the Republicans would win in the approaching presidential con test, and that the third party will most probably see they can do nothing and I will then go over in large numbers to the Republicans and adopt their views, in part at least, on money questions. The Mc- Kinley bill would not hurt the Repub licans. The Americans would not sub mit to a direct tax as long as they could get tbe needed money out of imports. ■'We are not now raising more money than necessary for the expenses of the government." he continued. "A well organized nation ought never to have to rely upon its neighbors for any article; it should do its work at home, and not give to foreigners the money it can keep in its own country." « New York Democratic Clubs. New Yokk, Oct. 3 —The convention of the Democratic clubs drew a big crowd to Chickering hall today. Most of the persons in attendance, in addition to the delegates, were attracted to the place in the hope of seeing and hearing ex-Presi dent Cleveland, who did not attend, however. The platform adopted expresses firm belief in tariff revision as absolutely necessary to the continued prosperity of the country. The force bill and David Martin and M. S. Quay and tbeir meth ods are roundly denounced. Harrison's administration is also denounced, while constrasted with it is the record pre sented by the safe and honorable ad ministration of Grover Cleveland, and the state administrations of Daxid B. Hill and Roswell P. Flower. Cleveland's Mail Bag. New Yobk, Oct. 3.—Grover Cleveland apent the morning opening mail and answering letters. He had no visitors of importance.

Boise, Ida., Oct. 3 —The Idaho Dem ocratic committee today withdrew their electoral ticket and endorsed the eJeclora of the People's party. This is understood to be in accordance with a general plan to be pursued in a number of western states, under the advise of the Democratic national committee. The Democratic committee endeavored to obtain concessions for their state ticket, bnt th 18 was refuged. The com- i mittee concluded to withdraw the entire state ticket, except secretary of state, but this raised a pro test among the country candidates. The Populists will, it is said, cut their own candidate for secretary of state and vote for the Deuaocritic candidate. It, is expected that the Democrats will trade their candidate for governor and congressman, and support the People's nominees. Peck's Indictment Stands. Albany, N. V., Oct. 3 —The court of general Beseions, thia afternoon, over ruled the motion of Labor Commissioner Peck that the indictment againßt him tor burning public documents be quashed. Peck then demurred to the indictment on tbe ground that more than one crime waa charged therein, and that it waa illegally found. The case waa then adjourned till Thursday morning.

One bullet etruck Kepler in the left cheek, inflicting a serious but not dan geroQe wound. The young man fell fainting to the floor, and the robbers be coming frightentd ran from the bank and fled up Eighth street. The shoot ing attracted a crowd, and a number of citizens gave chase.

Finally Special Officer William Dcebrl overtook the desperadoes, and after firing one shot at them they concluded to surren der. On being searched nine revolvers and a collection of knives and brasß knuck les was found on tbem. The prisoners gave the names of John Courtney and C. H. Hawley, of New York city"; Dan P.

THE SURFACE~OF MARS. RESULTS OF RECENT OBSERVATIONS OF THE BED PLANET. Intending Papers by Professors Holdea and Flckerlng-Scientisis Pusxle<i by the Frequent Topograph ic Changes. Northpikld, Minn., Oct. 3,—Tbe Oc tober number of Astronomy, a scientific magazine edited by Profeseor Payne of Carleton college, cintaina several valu able papers on tbe recent obeervations of Mars. The firat ia by Profeaeor Hol den, who, under date of August IS* ex plains the work done by the big Lick * teleecope in California, giving his con clusions as follows: "I may briefly etate my individual conclusions from observations of Mars at opposition to be that the changes in the surface features of Mars, as we now know them, are probably not capable of being completely explained by terres trial analogies. What are we to make of the lake called Fona Ju7eutae, for example, which was a single object in 18/7, which was not visible in 79, and which has been both sin gle and double timing the present year? Is it conceivable that an ob server on Mars, examining the earth in any part of its recent history would have seen such amazing topographic changes as we this year observed, not to speak of the changes from opposition to opposition? It appears to me that a careful examination of a long series of drawings of Mara, which we owe to Professor Schiaparelli and others, up to the present time, will make it evident that there are enormous difficulties in tbe way of completely explaining the recorded phenomena by terrestrial anal ogies, unless we also introduce serious modifications." Prof: Pickering, of Harvard college, writea under date of Arequipa, Pern, Auguat 1,1892. He aays: "In seeking to explain the obseivations, I would meaely point out the fact that the changes occurred at a time when the snow was melting with great rapidity; that a dark channel suddenly appeared July 12th, which had not been, seen at tbe last previous observation of this re gion, June 18th ; that it ahottly disap peared again, and a few daya after thia event the northern sea largely in creaaed in area, temporarily, or at least that its st uthern shores became much darker. I think these changes cannot be explained by arean cloud effects. We have already observed large whitish patches upon the planet, which undergo certain changes in shape and extend from night to night. We are studying them carefully, although we find them rather difficult of observa tion. These changes we are inclined to refer to clouds, although the matter is not aa simple aa it might at first ap pear. If these effects are really due to clouda, they are quite different in char acter from the other changea noted." THE HOMESTEAD TROUBLE. General Snowden Responsible for the Arrest of tho Strike Leaders. Philadelphia, Oct. 3.—Major General Snowden, the commanding officer of the national guard, declared this evening that he ia responsible for the arrest of the Homestead advisory board for treason.
