Montreal, September 11.—A grand banquet In honor of the delegates to the International Electrical Convention now n session In this city, was given last night at the Windsor Hotel. The banquet was tendered to the visitors by the Citizens Committee, and was a great success. Nearly five hun dred guests sat down to dinner. The chair was occupied by Sir Douald A. Smith, president of the Bank of Mon treal, and Chancellor of McGill Uni versity. The chairman had on his right Lord Stanley, Governor General of Canada, and on his left C. A. Iluut ley, of Buffalo, President of the Asso ciation. The Mayor of Montreal and most of the prominent citizens attended the banquet. After the toast to the Queen, Sir Donald A. Smith, In propos ing a toast to the President of the United States, said: “On an occasion on which Canadians and Englishmen meet, they honor this toast from the very bottom of their hearts.” After a reply from U. S. Consul Gen eral Knapp, the toast of “The Gover nortGeneral” was proposed, and was honored with great enthusiasm. Lord Stanley, on rising to respond, received an ovation from tho delegates, cheering lasting several minutes. Lord Stanley made the speech of the even ing. He welcomed the delegates to Canada on behalf of the government and said that he was deeply gratified that they had been enabled to extend tho sphere of thotr operations Into the border of a very friendly State. He expressed tho hope that the ilag of the United States and that of England and tho Dominion would long tloat side by side in amicable unity. [Great applause] He trusted that this gathering would be tho forerunner of many oth ers, and the Americans would remem ber that the border was a Hue easily crossed, and that on its northern side they would always find those who were ready and happy to welcome them as ' friends. He referred to the prospects of electrical science and boundless pos sibilities. England, he said, would be : glad to welcome them if they ever de I elded to make her a visit. The Gov ernor-General was frequently interrupt ed by applause. DETECTIVES IN TROUBLE. Arrested ana Jailed for Kidnapping two Citizens of Seattle. Seattle, Wash., September 11.— Detective Sullivan and his two deputies who kidnapped William E. Bailey and U. B. Albertson yesterday, and drove to Black River Junction with the intention of taking a train for Tacoma were cap tured thero last evening on tho arrival nf the train, yr JP'pdlWtD’W Seattle and a posse, and the whole par ty returned here shortly after mld uight. Sullivan had a Pierce county warrant for the arrest of Aibortston, charging him with having some know ledge of his cousin’s whereabouts. The warrant, however, was not indorsed by King countyoofiicials. Sullivan and his men caught Albert son and Hailey as they were going home to dluner and one of tho detectives told Albertson he had a warrant for his ar rest. Albertson demanded to see the warrant. A deputy said: “Get in the hack and we will drive to your office.” Halley ana Albertson both got in and at once the doors wero dosed and the two armed detectives held their prisoners while the hack was driven rapidly out of tho city. The party drove to Black Ilivor Junction, where the driver re belled. Sullivan then got out of the hack with the prisoners to wait for the train from Seattle. The train was two hours late and when it arrived tho Chief of Police and posso arrested Sullivan and the two deputies, who were brought there and placed in jail. The kidnapping of Hailey and Albert son was tho outgrowth of the disap pearance from this ci^y of Cashier Al bertson, of the Fidelity Trust Company, about two weeks ago. Albertson left a shortage in his accounts amounting to about $10,000. Several thousand dol lars in securities also disappeared about the same time, and it is supposed Al bertson took them. Last week, J. M. Coon, Cashier Albertson’s brother-in law, was kid’tapped by Sullivan’s detec tives, and kept confined in a hotel for several days in the hope that he would disclose something regarding his brother-in-law's whereabouts. As stated In last uight’s report, Halley is a young man, whose father is a millionaire at Harrisburg, Pa. Young Hailey is owner of the Harrisburg block here, and presi dent and director of several bauks. TERRIBLE MARINE DISA9TER In the Mediterranean — One Hundred Pertoni Reported to be Drowned. Athens, September 11.—A collision took place oil Point Col on n a, the south ern part of Attica, between the Italian steamship the Taormina, and the Ital ian Messageri, and a Greek steamship Thessalia. Tho Taormina sank soon after the accideut, drowning her cap tain, several of her crew and forty of her cabin passengers. The second officer of the Taormina, and a number of passengers who were standing on the bridge at tho time the collision occurred, were saved by the boats of tho Thessalia. The dam age done to the Taormina by the collision with the Thessalia was so great that she sank a few minutes after being struck by the Greek steamship. Most of the Taor manina's passengers were In their berths at the time the vessels collided, and the latest estimate is that a hun dred persons were drowned. The Thes salla was badly damaged forward, but by keeping the pumps going the steamer jiist succeeded in reaching Phaleron. CHANGE IN THE CABINET. Oeu.

McAuliffe and Gibbons Go It Hammer and Tongs. FOR THAT LENGTH OF TIME, McAuliff* Drawi Blood, But Gibbons Holda His Own Pretty Well—la the Sixth Round the Pelioe Stop the Oontest—The Referee Awards the Fight to McAuliffe. New York, September 11.—Sporting men say that no prize fight in the entire country has attracted such universal interest since the great battle between Dempsey and Fitzsimmons, as the light woight championship match between Jack McAuliffo :and Austin Gibbons, which was contested to-night before the Granito Association of Hoboken. Prominent sporting men from all parts of the country were present eager to see Gibbons, the young Jerseyman, who, though victorious in all his previous battles, had never be fore faced a man in McAuliffo’s class. McAuliffe bad been the favorite in bet tiug circles, aud even to-day tho odds w’ere $100 to $80 on the champion, but the manner in which the odds were snapped up was really astonishing. Many of McAuliffo’s lntimato friends and most ardent admirers looked for the short end of the betting. A long stream poured into tho big building, which will seat 3,200 persons and it was filled beforo eight o’clock. Tho prices of ad mission were $10 for tho bOO seats that were immediately surrounding the plat form and $5 for the others. Tb*e light ers arrived in Hoboken beforo eitfbt o’clock. _ When the men weighed in, McAuliffe tipped tho beam at just the limit, 13.> pounds, while Gibbons weighed 130’j. Police Captain Hays and a dozen policemen surrounded the stage, ami referee Jere Dunn was notified that in case of any disorder the mill would be j stopped. Mr. Dunn told that to tho , crowd. . , . At 9:27 tho men w<jre ordered to shako hands. The gloves they wore weighed a good four ounces. The clock was set in motion and when tho red light first came out with a bang, the light began. . .. . From tho very outset of the battle McAuiiffe forced matters. Ho went over to Gibbons’ corner and smashed away there. He showed great speed and power, but Gibbons countered a couple of times on tho Brooklynites face and body and when the first round was over it was about even. There were several clinches in the toacttgss'M wntatf Gibbous. When he broke away, though, he renewed ills attacks without auy sign of weakness. His two hands were Hying on Gibbons’ body fast, but the latter succeeded in dodging two of tho Brooklyn man’s leads for the head. Gibbons also planted a rattling right hander on Mac’s cheek. McAuiiffe had much the best of the round. In the secoud round, McAuiiffe had the best of it. lie got in a couple of his noted straight arm right handers and cut Gibbons badly under tho left eye. When Gibbons came out for the third round he was looking all right, but one more dash at his left cheek re opened the cut and sent the blood Hying. Mack’s shifting tactics were here shown to great advantages. Ho jumped away from his opponent’s rush with tho nim bleness of a cat and would comeback at his man with a look on his face that meant business. His right went out with viciousness, and it could bo seen that he wanted to end the battle brief ly. In the fifth round, McAullffo had his 1 mau fairly dazed. He delivered two I right handers on Gibbons jaw, ar.d ! Austin tottered a little. McAullffo , thought ho had him then, but (ribbons was not done yet. As McAuiiffe camo at him over in his own corner. Gibbons let go his right in a swinging blow and caught McAuiiffe full on the jaw. Mc Aullffo fell back two steps, and for a moment it looked as though ho wore going to fall over on his back, but he knew too well how to han dle his feet, so to speak, and he remained head up. He did not like that crack either, and gave evidence of his dislike by a lively smile that might be given by a man, who has just been refused a ioan from a friend ou whom he counted with certainty. .lack had apparently in tended to finish his opponent at just about that juncture, but that obstruc I tion he met with made him alter his j program. The round ended with the I men sparring. When time for the sixth round was j called Gibbons came up with surprising freshness. He certainly had been well thumped up to that time, but he had also given McAuliffe a taste of some severe medicine too. His left cheek was looking badly, and when McAuliffe hit it again, as he promptly did. the wound opened again, and there was an ! other stream of blood. He was not bad- : ly winded, it is but fair to say. \ While he had been in his corner, he talked with his seconds quite easily. He made a crack at McAullffe’s head, but missed and Jack went at him once more. McAuliffe got in one more on the bruised cheek and a clinch fol lowed. They were pounding each other at close quarters, at a vigorous pace, when Police-Captain Ilayes made his way through the ropes and declared that the fight must end. There was a great hullabaloo, and the meu went to their corner. Everybody bopeifthat peace might bo patched up with tbe authorities', but it wns no use. The Captain said it must stop. Then the house expected to hear the referee say he would have to make it a draw, but he did not. He shouted that “Mc Auliffe had wou.” When the news was communicated to Gibbons, he was about as mad a man as ever was seen in a ring. He ran over to McAuliffe’* corner and cried out that he bad been cheated. Of course Mc Auliffe did not think so, so the Pater sou man jumped to the ropes near sev eral reporters, “this decision Is given against me,” he cried, “because I have a little blood on my face. It’s aD outrage. I am not de feated. I could go on fighting this way for two hours, and I’m ready to do it.” Later in the evening Gibbons sought Referee Dunn and protested to him. Dunn said he could not change his de cision and that It had to go and that set tled It. _ «SiU'L OF POSEN” Arrested in San Francisco for Murder—The Actor in a Bad Scrape. San Francisco, September 11.—Late last night the policemen in the South ern Police Station were startled by a pistol shot just outside tho door. Run ning out they found Officer Grant lying dead on the pavement with a bullet wound In his head. A man was seen running away, and on being caught was found to have Grant’s handcuffs on his wrists. On the pavement near the dead policeman was found a discharged pistol. The man gave his name as Maurice Curtis, a well-known comedian, and denied shoot ing Grant. Curtis had been drinking all the even ing with some friends. Why he was ar rested is not known, but it is supposed ho had been creating a disturbance. Two men saw Curtis and the other struggling in front of the police station, and then saw the flash of a pistol. Cur tis was seen at the police station, but would not talk, lie was under the in fluence of liquor. The arrested comedian booked for murder was a pitiable object as he sat in the police station wringing his hands in despair. “My God,” he cried, “if 1 could only recall the last four hours of my life. I’m no murderer, gentlemen. 1 had no pistol. I shot nobody. I have not an enemy iu the world. Vainly he protested his Innocence of any offense and wanted to go home to his wife. In a rambling way he told the story of his business and his affairs. The only known witness of the shoot ing were two young men, Thomas Mul ler and E. Toorney, who stood di rectly across the street ami heard the policeman say, “Come along now,” There was no reply but almost at the same instant the young man saw a flash. A pistol shot rang out in the quiet street, followed in quick succession by two more reports. The officer fell to the sidewalk without a groan and Curtis, who a moment before had been his prisoner, turned and fled up Folsom street. Tho officers from the station near by gavo chase and soon captured the fugi tives. Tho dead officer was a native of Nova Scotia. By consent tho case was postponed until Monday next to await the action of the Coroner’s jury and to allow the attornics to prepare their cases.

Auociated Prett ] London, September 11.—Although the now Unionists held an overwhelm ing majority in the the Trades’ Union Congress, they used their power with madcratlon and discretion in marked contrast with last year’s meet ings. Socialists of the last land nationalization and decouncl atlon of capital were not permitted to occupy the attention of the Congress, the delegates applying themselves to discussions of immedlatcy practical nature- The Democratic character of the Congress was never more pro nounced though socialistic views were less obtrusive. The pre vidiug tone of the speeched showed an absolute conviction that labor will within the near future dominate parliament and make the country’s law. The old colonists dis played the same consciousness of mas tery of the position oi toe new unionist, though tamer in vindicating their i labor claims and predictions of victory. ' The moderates could not prevent the ultra democratic section from parsing some erratic resolutions, such as the payment of county councillors and vestrymen, and everybody holding a reoresentative place, the appointment of workmen on juries, and the payment of every juryman ten shillings per day proposed, which In general point to aspirations on the part of the dele gates, or future spoils of oUce Tho proceedings culminated to-day in a contest between the old and the new j Unionists over the election of a parlia- , mentary committee. The existing coo. , mittee has a large element of old Union ists and moderate mea desiring to re form the constitution. The congress gave the ultras less power. The rumor that the Dardanelles ques- [ tion has subsided is untrue. Lord Sal isbury is actively taking diplomatic steps. The Portes Ambassador here j was summoned to Constantinople yes- j terday to give an account of the posi tion. A dispatch to-day from Constantinople says that Kismll Pasha will probably be appointed Governor of Smyrna. It fit a Com Postponed. Washington, D.

A GREAT “OFF YEAR” In the Politics of the Country and Doubt ful States. WILL KEEP THEM GUESSING. The Great Thing to Fear is the People's Party, Wtich at Preaeat is an Unknown Quantity— The Situation in Ohio and New York. facial Ttl*cram to the Reoittcr. Washington, September 11.—It Is not often that on an “off-year” there Is as much of importance in polities or as much political work being done as this year. Even in states where only minor state officers are to be elected this fall the prospects are discussed a9 if much depended upon them and it tuay be said with substantial accuracy that tho na tional committees of the two great poli tical parties are now watchiug and di recting the political movements over the whole country in a way they have never before done except during the Presiden tial campaign, Even the campaign of Pennsylvania, where no officer higher than State Treasurer and Auditor-General are to be elected, assumes almost a national im portance. In Ohio, New York and lowu the result in awaiting with scarcely less interest than during a national cam paign and the consequences of vic tory or defeat are regarded by the man agers of both parties as potential for tlie future. There are a great, many tnings wmcn go to give this importance to, otherwise, comparatively unimportant elections. First of all the light now Is protlml nary to what is expected to be a llfo and death struggle for ono of the par ties a year hence and every energy Is being strained to get the advantage of position. The passago of the McKinley bill, with all the dire predictions as to its effect, makes a test of popular senti ment with regard to it after It has been in operation for a while all Important, while the overwhelming defeat the Re publicans sustained at the last Congres sional election is a considerable off-set to the feeling of confidence Inspired by the former general victory. The sig nificance of that defeat is yet to be fully tested. A third party has arisen to bring in a now element the strength and influence of which has not yet been measured, and both of the old parties arc ia doubt as to what the con sequence t>f wio m*w tunvrmmit will bn to them. Again there is the widest dif ference of opinion and a delightful un certainty in both of the old parties on the currency question, and it is import ant to determine what part the question of free coinage of silver is going to play in the Presidential campaign. Inciden tal to the currency question and the tariff question; comes in that of the fis cal policy put into practice by the last Congress, represented by “liberal appro priations.” from a Republican point of view, and by “extravagance and na tional bankruptcy,’’according to a Dem ocratic view of it. With these issues, now defined more clearly than ever before, and as yet practically untested, the two parties to begiu their skirmishing a long way ahead. Going along with these are the Indi vidual ambitions of men who seek the honor of leading their parties In the coming light, and the selection of Presi dential candidates depends much upon the results of contests now opened. The result In Ohio menus a great deal to both parties, because the two ques tions which most disturb them are both to the front. The Democrats are a little afraid of the freo coinage plank' they have put lu their platform, and the Re publicans are accused of being very anxious about tho tariff question. The Democrats are consequently doing their best to make the tariff the main issue, while the Republicans Insist upon keep ing the other issue well to the front. While both parties profess confidence, and though the State is ordinarily Re publican. there is enough doubt in tho situation to make both parties ex tremely anxious, and the third party element in the fight is one which neither can measure. The fight on Senator Sherman is persoual. and he is subject to three attacks from three quarters—the Democrats on one side, the third party folks on another, and yet on another by Foraker. Rut, while this situation is one calculated to ex cite discord, it does another thing, which may not be to the advantage of the Democrats. Sherman has taken a firm stand on the money question and no other. Ry going to the front and making himself the central figure of the fight, he gives that issue a promi nence which itconld not have If atten tion were directed to McKinley. In the opinion of a great many Republi cans the party made a mistake in se lecting a nominee whose association with the single question of tariff wa» such as to preclude all other issues. They repeat the admonition about pot ting ai! the eggs in one ba>ket. The attitude of Mr. Sherman is in a measure an offset to this complaint, and is apt to prove perplexing to the Democrat*, who count on opposition to the Mc Kinley bill for their succe««. The Democrats are putting forth every effort in their power to have tbo tariff over-shadow everything. Oat of thirty letters received at the Democratic headquarters In this city the other day from the secretaries of various club* iu Ohio, twenty-nine asked for tariff litera ture, while only one made a request for documents on the silver question. The policy of tho party will be to fill the State with tariff speakers and to force McKinley to defend his bill. The free coinage Democrats in the State and the leaders of the third party, who are fighting for the same thing, more or less directly, may take care of the cur rency question, but the work done through the National Committee will relate to tariff. The opposition to Campbell In Hamil ton la a thing which will figure In count* log np the result, but to what an ex tent no one can tell. The Australian ballot system Is expected by the Demo crats to operate In their farer, bat is an assumption on theory. The fight between Sherman and Foraker for the senatorship Is counted on, too, by the Democrats to help their cause some. There Is no doubt about the seriousness of thart fight and there may be other possible candidates for the senatorship drawn into it before the campaign is over. I saw a letter from Mr. Foraker written a day or two ago, thanking a friend for some ammunition for fighting Sherman and declaring that, while ho had sought to avoid the fight and tried to keep out of it personally, Sherman had forced the fighting, dragging the senatorial contest into this campaign, and that he (Foraker^ would be grate ful for whatever his friends did for him. Tho situation In New York is one which gives the the Democratic leaders most anuoyance. The party there Is in such bad shape, as a result of rivalry among possible candidates for the pres idency, that they cannot help being considerably embarrassed In the coru paign for governor this fall.,It Is expect ed that Flower will be the nominee for governor, though there are all sorts of complications possible before tho work of the convention is done. After that— wheu they have their candidate in tho field, there is the fear which will re main, that rivalry will lead to the knif ing of the candidate lest he get too ambitious aud start off as a Presidential candidate. The Republicans are keenly alive to the situation, expecting tho rival factions to do each other and their party considerable damage. Platt aud his followers are working for the Legis lature more than anything else and are looking a long way ahead, but tln'y seo the possibility that heir candidate for Governor may not fall outside the breastworks this time, though It may bo nothing more than a bare possibility. The most serious trouble they antici pate within thetr own lines is from tho opposition to Piatt personally. In Iowa the Democrats are fighting against the tariff and prohibition, and are predicting the election of their can ditate for Governor. A large number of speakers are going to be sent through that State and through the Northwest generally. In every direction they are drawing the line of battlo on the Mc Kinley bill, so that In every State, ex cept Pennsylvania, where local Issue* growing out of the financial troubles that State has experienced of late will occupy attention, a preliminary skir mish on the tariff question will be had this year, and upon tho general result** depend the Presidential nominations of the two parties to a considerable extent and the conditions under which they will enter tho light next year. The loss of Ohio to the Republicans this year would give them a tremendous handi cap. and at the same time it would probably greatly disturb the calcula tions of men who are ambitious for the Democratic nomination. TKENO OF TKA UK. linilnrim Outlook for the Future the llrlghtcst Known for Vw*n. New Yohk, September 11.—U. G. I)nu & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: All returns of the condition of busi ness aro encotiruglng. There Is no room for doubt about the Improvement In trade. Nearly every city reporting there comes tho the same cheering In formation that business Is better and prospects brighter. At Philadelphia the tone of the iron market has much Improved. Dry goods sales In August at Chicago were the largest ever known, nud tho clothing trade Is very large with fair collections and trade excellent. Money plentiful for legitimate uto. Kven at the South the Improvement Is general, especially at Louisville, Memphis, Savannah and Atlanta, ami at New Orleans trade Is more active. The enormous receipts of wheat have depressed the price at one time as low a9 ?1 per bushel. The exportscontluue large, but tho belief Is growing that foreign crops are not quite so short as has been reported. The great Industries are making sat isfactory progress. Iron production has been maintained for three months with in about 10,000 tons weekly ot tho largest quantity ever reached, and tho consumption cannot be far behind. A larger demand Is seen for fiulshed pro ducts, especially for bar iron, and the plate mills are full of orders, but In rails the change Is observed. Wool Is selling fairly well at all the Important markets, and there Is teen a better de mand for dry goods, which give* much encouragement to manufacturers. The financial outlook Is clear. Tho opening of Germany and Denmark to American pork products has lifted ths price of pork half a dollar per barrel. | With the greatest crops over grown and an unprecedented foreign demand for grain and meats tho prospect must be considered unusually encouraging. The business failures during the past seven days cumber 214, as compared with a total of 217 last week. For tbo corresponding week of last year the fig ures were 193. Fault of Telegraph Operator.
