Scenes of Terror.
Madrid, Sept. 5.—A sensation was
caused here this morning on the receipt j
of Important news from the Caroline Is- I
lands. The Spanish war ships reached
Yap, one of the islands, on the 21st ult
and prepared to occupy it in the name of
Spain. The Spanish officers were dilatory
in landing troops, and gn the 24th of the
same month a German gunboat arrived.
Although it was 7 o'clock in the even
ing, the German commander, instantly
landed a body of marines and Bailors and
hoisted the German flag over the island.
The Spanish officials made an energetic pro- |
test against the action of the German com- j
modore, and. on the hitter's refusal to re- |
cede from the position lie had taken, tele- j
graphed to Madrid for instructions. A j
conflict between the Germans and Spanish
at Yap is feared. On the receipt of the
above news, the ministers were Im- i
mediately summoned to a cabinet j
council, and Kinir Alfonso was ;
advised of the strained situation. Count j
Solms Sonnewalde,the German ambassador, j
has returned to the legation in this city i
from La Grange. He was escorted by a i
Strong military guard. King Alfonso has j
also returned to the city and is now presid- I
ing at a cabinet council. Everything is now j
orderly throughout the city, although the i
most Intense excitement prevails. The pop- |
ulace are wild with rage. A large crowd |
gathered in front of the German embassy
ATTACKED THE BUILDING
sdil tore down Ihe coat-of-arms and dragged ;
it through the streets to the Puerto del Sol,
where they burned it in front of the office
of the minister of the interior amid yells of
'.'down with Germany.'.' Alter venting
iheir spleen there the mob proceeded to the i
French embassy and cheered frantically.
The crowd had by this time grown to con
sTderable proportions^ and fears being enter
tained of .■ serious riot, troops were ordered
out t<> clear the streets. The crowd slowly
retired before the military, but a riot is
'oared at any moment The situation is
very grave. The council of ministers has
adopted a proposition to court-martial the 1
governor of Yap and the commanders of
the two Spanish war ships, which arrived
there on the '21st ult, for neglect of duty,
the latter in not immediately garrisoning
the island with Spanish soldiers on their
arrival there and the former in not hoisting
the Spanish flag and proclaiming the suzer
ainty of Spain over the island. The report
that a German squadron had sailed for the
Caroline is confirmed. Fifty-six leaders of
the mob were arrested before the crowd re
tired.
AX IMPORTANT MEETING
of leading Liberals was held to-day at the
residence of Senor Sagasta. After discus
sing the Carolines question, it was resolved
that the occupation of the island of Yap by
a German gunboat would be considered
equivalent to a declaration of war; that if a
crisis on the government should occur and
the Liberals be called into the power,
they would withdraw Count De Bono
mar, the Spanish ambassador at Ber
lin, and hand Count Solms Sonue
walde, the German ambassador at Madrid,
his passports. The resolutions also de
cided that the Liberals would order the
Spanish authorities at Phillipines to recover
the territory in the Caroline islands taken
possession of by Germany, and to use force,
if necessary, to regain it. The adoption of
the above resolutions has created a great
sensation. The government has dismissed
from the service the commanders of the two
Spanish men-of-war stationed at Yap.
A LATER DISPATCH
respecting the German occupation of Yap
island states that the governor of that
island wished to resist the landing of the
German marines and sailors, but that the
commander of the Spanish man-of-war, San
Quentine, which was the only ves
sel of that nationality in the harbor
at the time, refused to agree
with the government as to the adoption of
such a course or to lend the latter assistance.
It is generally believed the commander of
the Spanish man-of-war Velasco, which
was expected at Yap on the26th of August,
carries with him energetic orders. The
ministers and the civil and military
authorities met King Alfonso at the depot
on his arrival in this city. Large crowds of
people lined the route taken by the royal
) arty in going from the depot to the palace
and shouting, "Long live Spain." The
king was repeatedly greeted with
cheers. Notwithstanding the excitement
the most perfect order prevailed.
official report has been made concerning
the cabinet council held this afternoon, pre
sided over by King Alfonso. The report
says the government cannot now make pub
lic the measures decided upon, but that the
country may be assured they were of an
energetic diameter. Reports further say
the government decided that negotiations
respecting the outrage on an integral part of
Spanish territory are impossible.
Ml ST EXPLAIN.
Berlin, Sept 5. —The National Zeitung
commenting on the scenes enacted in Ma
drid on receipt of the news of the German
occupation of Y;ip, says Spain must give
Germany the necessary satisfaction for the
events of last evening. The other news
papers are silent in regard to the affair.
NOT HER FUNERAL*
Paris, Sept. 5. — Le Paris says editorially
that France has no reason to meddle with
the Spanish-German quarrel, and should re
member 1870. M. De Freycinet, the French
minister of foreign affairs, has telegraphed
Baron Dcs Michaels, the French ambassa
dor at Madrid, to observe the greatest
prudence during the difficulties at
Madrid over the Carolines affair.
The events in Madrid are causing a sensa
tion in this city. Arbitration for the set
tlement of the Carolines question is now
considered impossible and the position of
King Alfonso and his ministry is regarded
as precarious. Leading Spanish residents
in this city say that war between Spain and
Germany or a revolt is now certain. La
France and Le Paris say that King Alfonso
v ill be overthrown unless he heads the war
party,
NO ARBITRATION.
don, Sept. s.—The Standard's Ber
lin correspondent says: Spain has finally
ami decidedly declined to submit the Caro
lines affair to arbitration. Spain argues
that the question of Spanish jurisdiction
over the islands has been a fact too well
known to admit of discussion. German
government officials still scout the idea of
war over the dispute.
~i
Another Keporl.
New York. Sept. 5.—A Madrid dispatch
says: Last night official dispatches reached j
the government from the Phillipines stating i
that a German gunboat landed troops on j
the night of the 24th of August at Yap
island and hoisted the German fiag
I here. The Spanish vessels Fuentine
and Mane::-, were at Yap bay at tlie
time. The captains of the Spanish vessels
anil the Spanish government protested
with energy against the occupation.
Tho Spanish gunboats cleared decks for
action and the Manela was about to open
fire upon the German gunboat when she
was signaled to desist, which she did most
reluctantly. A third Spanish vessel,
the aiastero, has arrived at Yap bay.
This naws causes the wildest excitement
throughout Spsin. Crowds , gathered in
the streets of Madrid all night long, fran
tically gesticulating and calling the Em
peror William, the crown prince and Bis- j
marck the vilest names. Several thous- I
and people shouting "death to Bismarck"
and '-viva Espana," mobbed the German
embassy, smashing the windows, breaking i
into a thousand pieces the German arms on j
the embassy building and tramping the J
iragnients under their feet. The embassy J
was completely mobbed. The furniture '■
and mirrors were dashed to pieces, the
people almost foaming at their mouths
with frenzy. Some of the soberest Span
iards with whom I talked feel confident
thai the affair must now end either by war
or revolution.
Sentiment til Washington.
Special to tUe Glob«.
Washington, Sept. Count Leyden,
the charge, d'affairs of the German legation,
said this afternoon that he thought the
strained relations between his government
and Spain would not result in an open rup
ture, although such an event was of course
possible. When asked about the Caroline
islands incident, the count declined to dis
cuss it. Minister Volera' is not in
town but one of his attaches said
that the advices received at the Spanish
legation were of the gloomiest description.
He added that hopes were still entertained
that the differences between the two coun
tries will be amicably adjusted. He begged
to be excused from making any comment
upon the attitude of the two governments
in relation to the possession of the Caroline
islands. At the legation the situation is
thought to be extremely critical. The rep
resentatives of both nations would not be
surprised if war was declared within a very
few days.
Foreign Affairs Reviewed.
Special to the Globe.
Chicago, Sept 5. —The London cable
to the Times to-night says: Upon the Irish
question the Issue is fully formed, and the
battle of the elections is already opened.
Lord Hartington has given what was at
once acknowledged by moderate men of all
parties as the broadly English reply
to Mr. Parnell's demand for Irish
legislative independence. Lord Hartington
is grateful to Mr. Parnell for
clearly denning the conditions on which an
alliance with him can be purchased, but is
confident that no political party will con
sent to get office by conceding such terms.
On the contrary, he thinks that all parties
in England will forget other differences and
unite to Impose a firm veto on proposals
that are fatal to the integrity of the empire
and the prosperity of the English
people. Such a positive declaration from
the prospective Liberal leader, who struck
the keynote at the last general election and
by pacifying alarms secured so much sup
port for the Liberals, has produced wide
spread satisfaction, only tempered by re
flection that Lord Hartington, though de
cided in public speech, often fails to main
tain bis position against pressure from ad
vanced political colleagues. The weak
point of Lord Ilartingtou's estimate of the
situation was the supposition that Mr.
Parnell might be
UNABLE TO COMMAND
unswerving obedience from an increased
number of followers. The proofs grow
that Irish candidates refusing the Parnell
pledge have no chance. The archbishop of
Tuain has withdrawn his support from Mr.
Mitchell Henry, who would prefer to be in
dependent of Mr. Parnell in Gal
way. No leader except Lord Hart
ington has publicly dealt with Mr. Pamell's
ultimatum.. Lord Randolph Churchill, at
Sheffield, last night, studiously advocated
this (for him) delicate subject. Faint indi
cations are found of a disposition toward
concession in some radical quarters, and
Wilfred Ghent, the eccentric Conservative
candidate, says he "would leave the Irish
people to carry out their wishes. Other
wise reply to Mr. Parnell is impossible.
Mr. Gladstone's pronouncement is
waited with keen interest. He
has returned from the Norway
voyage in good health and in improved
voice. While Mr. Parnell's emphatic repi
tition of his demand at the Dublin banquet
is considered by Englishmen here to dam
age his reputation for sagacity, his ridicule
of a combination of all the Liberal and Tory
factions against him causes a little uneasi
ness as containing elements of a well
formed prediction of the future course of
events. His warning against outrage is
very significant, say Englishmen here of his
own
FEAR OF HIS INABILITY
to hold moonlighters in check. The conse
quences of the abandonment of the crimes
act are watched in London with growing
apprehension. 'United Ireland' exults over
the omission of loyal sentiments at the
Dublin mansion banquet. Except for the
passage respecting Ireland, Lord Hunting
ton's speech was unimpressive, and supplied
neither a good party cry nor a striking
program. He would promote cheap land
transfers and county government. His
condemnation of so-called socialistic land
proposals has given great offense to' the
Birmingham section and is strongly de
nounced by Mr. Chamberlain's party organ.
Mr. ParnelTs advice to his followers to dis
countenance agrarian outrages is percepti
bly bearing fruit. At the meeting of the
Cork branch of the National league it was
unanimously resolved to adhere to the
Dublin conference program of disavowing
outrages and supporting only such candi
dates for parliament as would pledge them
selves to act as a unit on the Parnellite pro
gram. The principal speakers denounced
the outrages.
A memorial to the Earl of Carnarvon,
viceroy of Ireland, praying for the release
of the Mayo prisoners, is being circulated
throughout Ireland for signatures and is
everywhere securing the support of the
most influential people.
Kiots Continue. '
London, Sept. 5. — The riots between
Germans and Czechs, in Bohemia, continue,
and greatly disturb the Austrian govern
ment. It is feared that Germany may take
umbrage at the state of affairs and demand
heavy indemnities for Germans injured by
the rows. Many riots have occurred, but
the majority of them have been hushed by
the government officials, in order to pre
vent the hostile spirit between the conflict
ing parties from spread!'
Ireland <~et?ing: There.
Dublin. Sept s.—Mr. TimothyM. Hea
ley. member of parliament for Monaghan,
in a speech at Londonderry, said that Ire
land had gained concession after concession
which had been deemed impossible for her
to obtain, and would ultimately secure all
that she desired.

Churchill's Address.
• London, Sept s.—Lord Randolph
Churchill, in an address at Sheffield last
evening declared the Tories had decided not
to coerce Ireland before they had entered
office. He contended that Lord Harting
ton in his inmost heart leaned toward the
Tories.
Hostilities Suspended.
Cairo, Sept. s. lnformation has been

week in Verdigris Bottom, in Cherokee
nation. Dick Sutherland and Jake Bums
had a quarrel Friday over some com.
Sutherland said he would settle it the next i
day. He met Bums the next

putting eighteen buckshot into him. and as
Burns climbed into the wagon fired a second

state and national, which ought not to be
rebuked by defeat. The leader of the Re

the appeal of his party, and sent it from the
stump through the press to the country.
It was the bloody shirt. He indorses the
policy of alienation and hate. lie seeks to
transplant and cultivate in the country the
feelings of the English aristocracy towards
the Irish, section against section; to govern
the South from the North as Dublin castle
governs Ireland, as a conquered province,
and all this in the year of grace 18S5,
twenty years and moce after the close
of the war. The average life of an ordinary
generation is thirty years. Owing to the
casualties of the war which cost our country
at least a million lives the duration of the
generation now passing away has been less
than this. Twenty-five yeais have elapsed
since Mr. Lincoln's election. Five-sixths
perhaps more of the men who devised the
rebellion, the men who fought its battles
and the men who overcame it, has passed
away. The great civil and the great mili
tary leaders, Lincoln and Grant, both sleep
in graves bedewed with tears of the whole
nation, South and North, for both died
with words upon their lips and feeling in
their hearts of charity to all, malice towards
none. Seward and Sunnier, Chase and
Fessenden, Douglass and Stephens, Lee
and Breckenridge, these are historic, not
living, names. Alone of the author of the
rebellion
JEFFERSON DAVIS SURVIVES.
"Boys born when the war broke out have
been voting for three years past. Boys
born after the war will vote next year.
Boys too young to bear arms are now ma
ture men of thirty-live. There is a new
South and a new North. A new genera
tion full of new life is at work. A very
large proportion of the people of the South
have never seen a slave and have lived un
der no other resume but that of universal
suffrage. Is it not time for the Shermans
and the Forakers to accept the results of
the war and no longer to continue in bat
tles? Eight million bales of cot
ton the product of this year
is in sight. There are no idlers in the South.
Why croak in the North while white men
and black men are side by side working.
The South is starting new industries, weav
ing cotton cloth, digging coal and iron, and
forging steel. God and nature, religion and
the human heart are the forces against
which Sherman and Foraker contend. Let
us then banish unmanly fears of Southern
wrong-doings and cease to exaggerate oc
casional personal conflicts into wars of
races. Danville and Copiah are worn out.
Turn out some new story, oh, grinders of
THE OUTRAGE MILL.
Home rule and as little application of the
eternal principle of regulation as is consist
ent with the greatest liberty of all will in
time cure all ills of state and nation. Mr."
Sherman is distressed because Lamar and
Garland and Bayard, "two members of the
Confederate congress and one man who
sympathized with them," are at the head of
great departments of the government. Oh.
yes, it was well to put Mr. Key at the head '
of the postoffice department. One Confed
erate in the cabinet was all right, but two
—two are a lamentable concession to trea
son. Even Ackerman was a proper
attorney general, and Key. at most,
becoming postmaster general, but two
at a time, two at a time, Garland and La
mar together, aye, there's the rub. The
tears of crocodiles are freely shed, as Sher
man safely sings "Insatiate Archer would
not one suffice." Mosely. Madison, Wells.

senator are the unregenerate children of

MB. CLEVELAND
has had office six months. Congress has
not yet been in session, yet much has been
accomplished. The spirit of reform and
economy has entered all the departments.
Useless offices and expenses have been
done away, while the performance of duty,
civil and military, has been enforced. The
government is not solicitous to provide
soft places for pets, but to save money for
the people and to keep the faith pledged in
the platform. If the navy which the Repub
lican party destroyed be restored, it is now
certain that it will be honestly done. Un
der this administration there will bo no
loose contracting, no jobs lei out, prices
nominally low to be made high by extras,
or by scrimping the work. The remnant of
the national domain which Democratic
presidents, Jefferson and Monroe and Polk,
added to our territory, the residue which
Republican extravagance has not wasted on
corporations and favorites is saved from
cattle kings and other plunderers for the
benefit of the people.
Dlt is sweet, it is delicious, brethren,to hear I
the Republican lamentation as expressed by
Sherman, who worked the treasury depart
ment for all it was worth m 1880 to nomin
ate himself for president and who never
recommended a Democrat for civil office in :
his life, that the impartial, non-partisan
civil service of our country is in danger. If
Hancock, the superb leader of the Loyal
legions in battle, was elected, dire
calamity and the carnival of treason
would ensue, they said. But lo! the
hour has come and the man. Democracy
has effectually prevailed at last and where
is the calamity? What has become of the
disaster? Business reviving, stocks advanc- j
ing! Are these the tokens of distress? True,
times are still hard, made so by Republican
misjovernment. Rome was not built in a
day or a year. It is only six months since j
the Republicans lost power. It may be i
that the revivals of industry that we read '
of are not the results of Democratic success. j
They are at any rate co-incident. Republi- :
can prophecy is falsified and Republican i
prophets silenced.
Power of the Pope.
London, Sept. 5. —At the meeting of the
Catholics at Monster, Prussia. Dr. Wind- <
hort. the Prussian Catholic leader, said the i
pope still ruled the world. The holy chair I
must be made independent of the powers. !
We now, he said, stand steadfast for the !
pope through life or death. The speaker :
asked for three cheers for Pope Leo. which
were given with enthusiasm. Se\ e-ral reso-
lutions were passed demanding the uncon
ditional repeal of the chief May laws, es
pecially those dealing with religions orders
and the education of the clergy.
The Dead Celestials.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 5.—A telegram
from Rock Springs gives the latest that can
be obtained of the recent anti-Chinese troub
les. All. is quiet to-day and the
miners have returned to work. At
a meeting held last night, meas
ures were taken to put a stop
to the drunken carousals of a few of their
number who have been celebrating the re
moval of the Chinese. Two . more dead
Celestials were found to-day, one in the
ruins of Chinatown and another beneath
the railroad bridge about a mile
east. The latter had been
wounded, and managed to walk that
far before ha {rave up. Your correspondent
talked with the miners today who took
an active part in the attack upon Chinatown
and was told that less than a third of the
dead Chinese in the ruins of the house have
been found thus far. They say
that no less than twenty-five were
shot down inside the burning buildings.
These buildings had dirt roofs which cov
ered up the dead Chinamen when the dwell
ings succumbed to the flames, and as no
actual search has been made in the mines it
is quite probable that it is true.
Chinamen are still arriving at
the stations east and west almost
dead from fright and weak from fatigue
and lack of blood. All are shipped to
Evanston by the company. They reiterate
the statement that many have died
in the hills from wounds received
in the attack upon them. it
is reported that the white miners at Alma,
in the western end of the territory, have
notified the Chinese laborers in these mines
that they must leave inside of three days,
and that the Union Pacific has guaranteed
their removal within the time specified. The
Celestials along the road refused to work
to-day, and demanded passes to Evanston.
Chinese laundrymen and servants at Green
River were told last night they must leave
within twelve hours, and they will go west
on to-day's express.
A Shrewd Swindle.
Yincennes, Ind., Sept. s.—An investi
gation of the alleged townships trustees'
swindle, as perpetrated in Davies county,
Indiana, twenty miles east of this city, re
veals what appears to be the most astound
ing official corruption. There are three
trustees involved. Charles A. Brown
of Washington township, John
Grimsley of Steele township and John
Clarke of Barr township. It is said the
trustees would issue long-time warrants on
their townships, drawing 8 per cent, inter
est. These warrants or orders are the same
as a note made payable at the bank and on I
their face show that they are executed by
the township trustees to the holder in con
sideration of a certain amount of money
paid to the trustee for school
supplies. A trustee finds no trouble
in disposing of these warrants. It is said
the three trustees mentioned have prac
ticed this, and scores of these warrants
have been issued and put upon the market
and gobbled up by money-lenders. The
township trustees are supposed to have gone
to Canada. Some time will elapse before
the full extent of the losses will
be known. If the warrants are legal,
Davies county is ruined, and if not—
the question is a line point in law to be set
tled. The scores of capitalists in Indianap
olis, Coicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and
throughout the middle states it is claimed
are out of pocket. It is estimated that war
rants on Washington township have been
issued to the amount of $75,000, although
some claim twice that amount: state town
ships §50.000 and bar townships $50,000.
Boys Shot in a Melon Patch.
Datton, 0., Sept. 5.—A case of a
farmer shooting three small boys occurred
here yesterday afternoon. Willis Barnhart,
Walter Cassick and his brother Jesse,
aged respectively 10, 11 and 18, entered
William Kimball's melon patch, evidently for
the purpose of stealing a melon, when Kim
ball, taking a double-barreled gun, pursued
the boys. They ran, but he fol
lowed, and when near enough began
firing on the lads. Willie Bern hart,
fell at the first shot. He managed to
get over Hie fence when another farmer on
his way to the city picked him up. He had
large shot in his back and neck. He
is still alive, though in a crit
ical condition. Both the Cussick boys
were shot, but are not fatally iniured.
Six shots struck Jesse in the back of the
head, but did not penetrate the skull. Wal
ter has five shots in the face and three in
the right shoulder. Kimball has been ar
rested. He was caught in his melon patch
with his gun over his shoulder waiting for
more victims.
, The Labor Situation.
.. St. Louis, Sent. s.—lnquiry at the office j
of General Manager A. A. Talmadge of |
the Wabash to-day showed that there was I
little news on the Wabash labor difficulties.
Manager Talmadge said he had made no re
ply to Messrs. Powderly and Turner
of the Knights of Labor other than
the vert answer given yesterday
refusing to accede to their demand. He
last night Bent to Secretary Turner the
stenographer's report of the conference
with the Knights of Labor committee, and
this I; all the communication he has had
with them.- A dispatch fromSedalia, Mo.,
states that Messrs. Powderly and Turner
reached there this afternoon. They went
into secret conclave with leading commit
teem en there, but nothing of the result
has bet-;; disclosed.

Stabbed in the Stomach.
Paso de;. 2n"orte, Mew, Sept. 5.— J.
Shean, roadmaster of the Mexican Central
railroad, was murdered here at midnight
Thursday night by a man named Davis.
Shean feeling ill rone and visited a low
saloon in the vicinity of his residence to
procure some bitters. While in the saloon
Davis and two drunken Mexicans entered.
Davis insulted Slieau and drew a revol
ver, which Shean took away from
him. Davis then plunged a dagger into
Shean's stomach, inflicting a wound from
which the latter died in great agony. The j
deceased was highly esteemed here. He '
leaves a young wife and an aged mother in ,
Massachusetts, to which place his body will i
be shipped. Davis was arrested and lodged i
in jail.
Train Robbers Captured.
Kansas City, Sept. —The circum
stantial evidence against the two men ar
rested at Lexington, Mo., suspected of hav
ing been engaged in the Blue Springs train
robbery, is quite positive, and it will re
quire a strong alibi to clear them. The
prisoners are John Brosnahan and i
John O'Brien, both of this city The!
former is married. He recently kept a gro- i
eery store here. The latter is about 18 !
years old and was formerly a messenger !
in the Western Union Telegraph company's ',
office here. They answer the description j
given of the robbers and are unable to give j
a satisfactory account of themselves. The i
Evening Star Lexington special says the
men are held in jail and will be given pre
liminary Hearing next Tuesday.
Fire at Baltimore.
Baltimore. Sept. 5. —Fire this morning

Chicago, Sept. s.—To-day closed the
autumn meeting of the Washington Park
club. The morning opened fair and cool ;
with some wind, which rapidly dried the
track which was a trille stiff after the li^ht
rain last night. The attendance was the
largest of the meeting, which has been
such that the association have every reason
to be satislied with the experiment of a fall
meeting. The racing has been of a most
satisfactory character, and the closing day
fit ending. The cup given for the gentle
men's race is a very handsome piece of
silver plate, manufactured iv New York,

McCaffrey Oets Home.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 5. —Dominick
McCaffrey arrived in the city to-day from
Cincinnati. He was accompanied by his
trainer, Alfred Lunt, and his manager,
Billy O'Brien. The plucky young Pitts
burg pugilist was looking splendid and was
in good spirits. "O'Brien, Campbell and
myself," said McCaffrey, "called upon
Referee Tate. at Toledo, on Thursday, to
try and have him change his decision. He
was shown the articles of agreement, and
although he refused to alter his verdict, ad
mitted that if he had seen them before the
fight, he would have decided it a draw.
The articles of agreement originally con
tained the words 'scientific points to count,'
but this clause was stricken out at Sulli
van's request. Another thing, the gloves
were to be three ounces, whereas they were
only one ounce and worse than bare
knuckles."
Base Ball.
AT PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelphia, Sept. s.—The New
Yorks fielded miserably to-day, and well
deserved the defeat they received at the
hands of their Philadelphia club. They also
disgusted many of the Philadelphia admir
ers by their trickery in the sixth inning,
done for the purpose of prolonging the
game. Their hope was that rain, which
was then falling lightly, would cause r».
stoppage of the game, and throw the score
back to the lifth inning, giving them victory.
They did not erain their point, however, as
the full six innings was completed before
the rain began to fall fast. It then began I
to rain hard, but the New Yorkers would !
not allow the game to be stopped. . It was
also growing very dark. Philadel
phia had completed its eighth inning
and New York had scored one, with one I
put out and two men on bases, when th<3 I
farce was ended by the umpire calling the '
game, it being so dark that the ball could
scarcely be seen passing from one player to
another. Deasley hurt his hand in the sixth
inning and Ewing caught the rest of the
game. Dorgan and Myers made remarkable !
one-hund catches, and the general play of j
these two men was brilliant throughout the i
game. Attendance 2,458. The following
was the score:

AT CHICAGO.
Chicago, Sept. 25.—About 1.000 people
witnessed the defeat to-day of the Buffalos
by the home nine. The Buffalos were first
to bat, and were retired In striking order,
Chicago following suit. In the second in
ning Anson went to first on balls, stole sec
ond and third, and scored on Richardson's
fumble of Williamson's hit. In the
third inning Flint hit safe, reached sec
ond on Dalrymple's sacrifice hit, and scored
on Gore's hit to left field. Dalrymple scored
on Gore's hit also. In the sixth inning,
after two men were out, Pfeffer made a
home run on a long center field tly. In the
eighth in mug Dalrymple scored an earned
run on a base hit and hits by Gore and
Kelly, and Gore also scored an earned run.
The features of the game were a long one
handed catch by Crowly and a brilliant
running catch by Lillio. The following is

Boston, Sept. 5.— Boston-Provi

After the fifth Inning the champions'

AT ST. LOUIS.
St. Louis, Sept. s.—The finest game of
ball played here this season was that between
the Detroit and Maroons to-day, and it
was witnessed by onlj a handful of people.
Kirby, the young local pitcher of the
home team, was very effective, as was
Baldwin, who pitched for the visitors. The
contest was one . series of brilliant plays,
and many an apparent base hit was changed
into a put-out by phenomenal fielding.
Hanlon, by two wonderful catches of
hits from Lewis' bat, one in the
ninth inning and one in the twelfth,
twice saved the game for his side. In the
thirteenth inning Hanlon hit a bounder
which Dunlap could have got, but Kirby
made a safe hit of It by tipping it and chang
ing its course. Hanlon stole second,
Thompson drove a hot bounder to
McKinnon, which he failed to field, the
ball bounding out of his hands. Hanlon
scored before Dunlap could get the ball to
Sutcliffe, and Thompson reached second on
the throw home. A hit to center by Bald
win sent Thompson across the plate. Dun
lap, Glasscock, Caskins. McGuireand Sut
cliff fielded most admirably. It required
thirteen innings to decide the contest.

masked Vigitaaites Torture a. Pris
oner.
Kroxvii/LE, Term., Sept. 5. —Last night
about 10:30 o'clock a large body of masked
men passed down Gray street in the direc
tion of the jail. They were joined at vari
ous points along the street by at least 200
citizens. The mob approached the jail in
perfect order, except the firing of
pistols. The jailor surrendered the
keys to the main entrance and
the crowd broke through the door of the
cell containing Lee Sellers, the young man
charged with the murder and robbery of
Edgar Maiues. one mile east of this city.
Sellers had a knife in his possession, and
when one of the vigilantes went into the
cell to adjust the handcuffs, he gave
him two or three serious stabs.
Both doors were soon battered
down, and masked vigilantes shot
at Sellers twice without inflicting serious
wounds. Seizing Sellers, the mob poured
out of the jail yard, and proceeded to the
middle of the high bridge over the Tennes
see river. A rope was placed around
THE CRIMINAL'S NECK
while he was in the corridor of the jail,
lie stood with arms folded and
never flinched while the knot
was being arranged. He called
for a drink of water before
leaving for the bridge. His wishes were
complied with. After reaching the middle
of the bridge the mob halted and demanded
a confession. Sellars refused to say a word
and the rope was placed over the cross
beam about twenty-two feet above the floor,
and he was swung off. He was not hand
culled, and as soon as the noose be
gan to tighten, he climbed up
hand-over-hand, and gained the top .
He crawled along the cross
beams to one side of the bridge. While he
was crossing, at lonst fifty shots were tin d,
none of them with fatal effect. He rose to
his feet and yelled at the top of his voice:
'My friends, come to me; I'm murdered.
Come quick." The wounded man then lay
down on a sleeper, and several more shots
were fired, but none of them could hit him
in a vital part. Runners were sent to the
city for a ladder and another rope.
THE CKOWD WAS ORDERLY,
and but few people outside of those impli
cated knew anything about it. Young
men at a ball left dancing and followed
the masked men. After the ladders were
brought two men climbed up to the
top of the strincer to readjust the
rope. Sellers had taken the rope
from around his neck, and begged
the crowd to kill him and end his suffer
ings. The men started out to take him
down, when he lost his held and fell in the
edge of the water eighty feet below. He
has not been found yet. At the very last
he protested his innocence. Maines was a
traveling salesman for a wholesale
house of this city, and was found
murdered one mile east of this city
Sept. 1 He was known to have a large
sum of money on his person, and it was
shown very conclusively that he had been
beguiied by Sellars to a remote spot and
killed. Maines was very popular and was
engaged to be married.

Special to the Globe.
Washington, Sept. 6.- Tt tool very
much now as though the next congress
would listen to loud knocks for admission
that are being heard from several territories.
Heretofore there lias been hesitation on t!:a
part of Democrats in agreeing to any plan
for admission of any territory because nenrly
every one of them applying had undoubted
Republican majorities. Now, however,
they are changed. The newly appointed
governor of New Mexico has promised to
bring that territory in as a Democratic
state, and as -Washington Territory and
Montana have each Democratic representa
tions in the house, it is reasonable to sup
pose the chances are in favor of them send
ing Democratic senators and representa
tives in case of admission. The recent
census of Dakota shows that it is useless tfl
ho Lout much longer against her demands
for admission, and that there are now two
probably Democratic territories knocking to
come in at the same time that Republican
Dakota wants to. It is probable that they
may be able to make themselves heard.
Bills, it is said, will be introduced at the
coming session of congress for the admis
sion of these territories as states.
Custom House Frauds.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, Sept. s.—When a dele
gation of New York merchants called upon
President Cleveland relative to the appoint
ment of a collector of customs for the port
of New York he talked to them plainly
about the practice of undervaluation, which
has grown to such enormous proportions
that scarcely 5 per cent, of invoice from
Europe is prop valued by the importer.
Since that time consuls in England have
complained to the treasury department oi
a practice which prevails by which
some of the best known houses in Chicago,
New York. Boston and other large commer
cial cities defraud the revenue and prevent
honest dealers from entering the field in
competition with then. Under a ruling oi
Solicitor Risley in 1806 a number of theso
firms have been allowed to purchase goods
in all the manufacturing towns of England
and Scotland, and to ship them
to Manchester, Liverpool or Lon
don, where the invoice was
certified by the consul. Of course this
official could not properly comply with the
law, because he could not keep posted as to
the values in every town in the United
Kingdom. It will readily be seen that in
this practice merchants who have privi
leges, under Solicitor Risley's ruling, can
easily defraud the customs collectors. Es
pecially is this true when the importer does
an immense business. It is openly charged
that one of the best known
CHICAGO dt:y GOODS houses
purchases large quantities of woolens, knit
goods, lisle thread garments and similar
wares in Bradford, Leeds, Dunfermline and
Glasgow at the same figures that a smaller
house could buy the same goods for. They
are shipped to one of the — usually
Manchester or Liverpool—and the in
voice is made out from there.
The goods are valued at from
ten to thirty and forty per cent, below the
actual price paid. Of course under these
circumstances, it is impossible for a small
importer in Buffalo or any other interior
town to compete with Chicago or New
York firms. The complaint of consuls
above quoted is said to have been correctly
discussed in the cabinet. Whether this
is true or not, it is known that
the government has decided to take radical
Steps toward abating the abuse. Consuls
at principal points in the United Kingdom
will be instructed that after the lath of
October, they must certify to only
such invoices as are actually pur
chased in their districts. Any
violation of this order will lead
to dismissal at once. The proposed
course of the government in this respect
will certainly result in a decided falling off
in the number of under-valuations, and it
will doubtless lead to the breaking up of
the monopoly which a few rich and un
scrupulous firms have heretofore enjoyed
in the matter of importing foreign textile
fabrics.
Little Time for Spoilsmen,
Special to the Globe.
Washington, Sept. s. —Secretary Mann
ing returned to the city last evening, It is
expected that the president will get here on
Monday. There is great anxiety manifested
among office-seekers now flocking back to
Washington to ascertain what time the
president intends to devote to political call
ers after his return. Rumors have
been circulated to the effect that
he president think that six months
was about a3 much time as he
could sacrifice to the spoils-seekers and that
he will hereafter have to reduce the time
devoted to such callers to very small limits.
One report is that he will devote only
Tuesday in each week to place hunters.
Another is that he will only spare one hour
a day. Still another that he will decline to
talk to the same man twice on the same
subject. Any of these rules would carry
confusion into the hungry ranks. The men
who have come to Washington after places
wanted to see the president early and often
and think their success depends upon their
interviews. -

The speeches were upon political issues,
Senator Hoar taking substantially the same
position as that enunciated by Senator
Sherman in Ohio. Ex-Goy. Long, speak
ing of President Cleveland, said he thought
the president h^d certainly done some good
things and hepreferred him to any other
candidate. He agreed with Senator Dawes
regarding the position taken by the presi
dent as to the leases of Indian lands, but
thought the president had a fussy notion of
vindicating the faith of civil service reform.

Special to the Globe.
Washington, Sept. s.—Capt. Howgate,

heard from, after all thai has been said
about his movements in the United States.
in Canada and in ohm America since his
departure. It Is now claimed that the
missing captain has spent most of his time
with relatives in England. A gentleman
claims to have met Capt. Howgate during a
recent sojourn in the British isles, to
have found him a confirmed invalid
walking on crutches, but living in comfort
surrounded by relatives and in correspond
ence with friends. This gentleman also
states that Howgate was in correspondence
with Prof. Vennor previous to his death,
and is now negotiating with his executors
and others with a view to establishing a
sy jm of weather predictions for Canada
and for South America, to be operated
partly in conjunction with service in the
United States. This gentleman believe"
that Howgate has by this time probablj
started for this continent in pursuance ol
this scheme.
