A HIDDEN TREASUEE. i The Romance That Das Excited a Part of Huntingdon County. OVER $7,000 IN GOLD NUGGETS Unearthed From Its Resting Placo Under an Old Oak Tree. THE "WILL OF A COLORADO COXYICT. lie Bfqneathes Eii Concealed Store to the Warden mi His Father. Eleven years ago James Hoover buried 7,6G6 in gold beneath an oak tree in Porter township, Huntingdon county. He was afterward imprisoned for life in Colorado, on a charge of murder. He died a month ago, and revealed the secret to the warden, instructing him to seek out his father and divide the money. The money has just been recovered. tSrXCIAL TZLEOEAM TO THE DISPATCU.l Huntington. Pa., July 6. Carter township, this county, is in a fever of ex- citement over the finding of a buried tr-- is ure, consisting of gold nuggets worth $7,G66, by Warden Hoyt, of the State Penitentiary, at Canon City, Col. The "Warden got a tip of the hidden wealth from a life convict, but recently dead. About 15 years ago, James Hoover, a resident of Franklin county, in this State, in order to avenge a wrong done to his sister by a physician of that county, snot and killed the latter. Before h'e could be apprehended, he fled, finally locating at one of the numerous mining camps in Colorado. There he met a man, George Simpson, of Ohio, and the two, after joining fortunes, finallystruck it rich. When they had amassed a considerable for- tune in gold-du- st and nuggets, Simpson Jell ill, and during his sickness. Hoover, bis partner, decamped with all their wealth. Fearing to remain longer in that part of the country, Hoover decided to come East again and brave the chances of being ar- rested. SEARCHING FOB HIS TARENTS. Hearing that his parents had moved from Franklin county to near McConnellstown, in this county, he came here in search of them. His search, however, proved un- availing, and as nothing ofuld be learned of his parents, he left the neighborhood of Mc- Connellstown and started north in the direc tion of Alexandria, 12 miles distant. When half this distance had been covered Hoover became verv weary with the weight of his treasure, and, stopping by the wayside on the farm of Michael T. Branneman, he hid his gold nuggets under the roots of a white oak tree. He then made a careful draft of the sur- rounding country, entering into the minutest details, and after familiarizing himself with the surroundings, he resumed his journey. Hoover's iruitless search for his parents continued until the latter part of the year 1878, when he returned to Colo- rado without taking with him the gold nug- gets which nc had buried on the Brenneman farm. On his sectnd visit to Colorado he encountered Simpson, his former partner, whom be had robbed, and at firt sight both opened fire on each other, resulting in the killing of Simpson. For this Hoover was arrested, tried and sent to the State Penitentiary for life, and, after serving ten years there, he died last month. A CONVICT'S WILL. Besides the mark of the place where he had hidden the gold in this country 11 years previously. Hoover left an autobiography and a will in which he bequeathed to Warden Hoyt, of the Canon City Peniten- tiary, and to his own father, should the latteheionnd, all his possessions, which con- sisted principally of his buried gold nuggets. Armed with the necessary papers, Warden Hoyt came East, found Hoover's father in a remote part of Franklin county, and a week ago the two arrived in this city in search of the hidden treasure. Going to McConnells- town, they lollowed up the route taken ten cars ago by James Hoover, and by careful Inquiry located in a general way the place where the gold was hidden. On Tuesday ot this week they reached the home of Michael T. Brenneman, and upon exhibiting to him the map of the groui.d found to their joy that their search was about to be rewarded, for Farmer Bren- neman instantly recognized the map as a diagram of his property. Leaving Mr. Brenneman, as he savs, stupefied by their startling recital, Warden Hoyt and the old man Hoover repaired to the foot of the white oak tree along the roadside, and there beneath its overlapping roots, but little covered by the soil, they unearthed the golden treasure which 11 years before James Hoover, the fugitive, had hidden. LIVERPOOL JACK'S AYAY. Some of the Victim Itlnke Revelations of the Wny They Were Robbed nnd Gcncrnllv III Trentcd. tfrrCI.41. TELECHAM TO THE DICrATCH. Xew York, July 6. Assistant District Attorney Parker spent most of this after- noon in taking down the statements of newly returned victims of Liverpool Jack, the boarding house runner, against whom indictments are already pending for kid- naping. The men arrived on the Steamship Saratoga from Yucatan on Thursday. The men said that Jocole Goldstein, an emigrantrunner, intro duced them to .Liverpool J act last spring. Liverpool Jack shipped them to Yucatan, making all sorts of golden promises. They went to work there at Progresso for the Progressive Commercial Agency like others of Liverpool Jack's victims. They say that they had to work 14 hours a day, to sleep on the sand, were beaten and robbed, were supplied with poor food nnd were maltreated generally. In paying the men their wages, though, the agent, they say, gave them bat $22 ol the $32 which was owing them. He said that Liverpool Jack always charged him 10 for each man sent down and received, and that he proposed to take the money right out of their wages. When the men stepped offthe steamship here the first person they saw was Goldstein, the runner, who first introduced them to Liverpool Jqpk. The men went to Gold- stein's and were entertained royally. On Thursday they were taken down to Cant-Ion- 's saloon on Washington street, where they met Liverpool Jack and had innumer- able drinks of beer. They were told that if they kept their mouths shut and would not go near Castle Garden they would get $20 apiece. Then Liverpool Jack took them all up to Howe & Hummel's office and they signed statements. They say they were told by Goldstein that "the little man" who took the statements down was "the judse." Then all went back to Jacob Goldstein. The men say they did not get their 820 apiece, but that Goldstein finally told them that they could take $3 apiece or go to the uevii. SHOT MS EMPLOYER. . A Reprimand for Drunkenness the Cnnie of a Fnlnl Tragedy. IEPZCIAL, TZXEGBAX TO TUX PISPATCH.1 Fort Worth, Tex., July 6. The crowds on Main street were startled this afternoon by fonr shots fired in rapid succession in the large drygoods store of B. C. Evans & Co. Inside the store stood John W. Davies with a smoking pistol in his hand, and a few feet distant, lying on the floor dead, was B. C. Evans, the proprietor of the place. Davies gave himself up and refused to talk. It appears that Evans reprimanded Davies for drinking and discharged him. The clerk then shot him dead. Mr. Evans conducted the largest drygoods store in Ft Worth and the tragedy has created much excitement CHANCES FOE A MILL. Continued from First 'Tage. sent the ball flying to the other end of the room when he charged at it and delivered one ot those straight from the shoulder, which Paddy Byan declares no man .can with- stand. StTLLIVAN'S EXCELLENT CONDITION. Sullivan's friends are wild With apprehen- sion lest there should be no fight, as their man was never in such condition before, and is certain to win beyond accident thev sav, and they fear that should the match fail through, John will relapse into his former pitiable condition. The Kilrain people insist that their inten- tions are good, but a good many persons who are well posted drew comparisons be- tween the care that is being taken of Sulli- van and the fact that Kilrain was running around town three hours after bis arrival in New Orleans, although he had just left the train after a continuous ride of almost 1,000 miles, and should be lying down resting. Kilrain did not remain down town very long, taking a light lunch at Moreau's, on Canal street, with Stevenson and Benaud, but even his strongest admirers thonght he ought to have been in bed, or at least be kept quiet That little Question of the com- putation of time has not been settled, and is likely to produce a long and vexatious wrangle at the ring side. THE BIG CROWDS PETEB OUT. Bnd Benaud has, despite the action of the mobile Governor, gone on quietly in the nork of arranging for transportation to the battleground. It was at first supposed that full v 2,000 persons would want to go, but the Northern and Western excursions have petered out sadly. Dominick McCaffrey's mammoth excursion from New York dwin- dled down to 19 persons when it reached here this morning, and the great Police Ga- zette special train of cars, so extensively ad- vertised for some time, would have carried just 12 persons. For a town where they sell lottery tickets at every corner, and pool rooms and other gambling games are as plentiful as huckle- berries in summer time, there is very little betting done on the result of the big fight. Mr. Bat Masterson, of Denver, who three months ago expressed the opinion that KILRAIN WOULD WIN, and that he proposed to bet on him, qualify- ing the statement by the remark that he would be on hand to see that he would have a square fight for his money, arrived this morning, in company with a dozen or so kindred sports from Ft. Dodge, Kansas City. St Louis and Ft Worth. There were some very slick men in the party, but some of them were not smooth enough to escape the nimble fingers and razor-lik- e knives of somebody on the train, for they ar- rived here minus several gold watches and rolls of bank bills. One man had his money sewed up in the sleeve of his coat; when he arose this morning he was minus the money, and a tailor had a job, the sleeve being cut most dextrously. The town is alive ht with bad men, and not since the war has there been so many real bad men in New Orleans. Guns half as long as your arm protrude from every hip pocket. MAT BE A LONG FIGIIT. Dominick McCaffrey, who is here, said in regard to Kilrain's condition: "I saw Kil- rain stripped last night, before he retired to his compartment, and I think be is in good condition. The fight will, in my opinion, be a long one, and will not be won without a lot ofpunishment on both sides." Another equally good judge who saw him said: "While Kilrain is in fair condition, lie is not iinat you would call on edge. Billy Madden, of New York; Johnny Beagan.the Gotham middle weight.P. Shar- key, Davis Holland and others from New York and Brooklyn, arrived here this morning. Madden says he is here to wit- ness the fight, and incidentally to challenge the winner to meet Jack Ashton, of Prov- idence, for $5,000 and the championship. It is now raid by men very close to the Sullivan party, that Billy Muldoon,will, with Mike Cleary, be behind Sullivan. Mnldoon held off as long as-h- e could, but when Arthur Chambers got on his high horse there was nothing for him to do but accept JAKE FEELS TERT SORE. Kilrain is very much hurt because a Cin- cinnati daily accused him of being drunk in that city on Thursday night "The fact of the matter is," said he "we were up at Eichler's Vine street hilltop resort The beer looked so good that I remarked that I would like to have some of it Dr. Dougherty, of Philadelphia, who was with us, urged me to try a glass of it saying: 'I assure yon, on my professional reputation, that it won't hurt you.' I drank two por- tions of small glasses, not a whole glass in all, and the next morning I read that I had got drunk on beer." KILBAIN ON DECK. The Queen nnd Crescent People See That the Baltimore Boy 1'nsjes Tbrongh Dlississlppl Without molesta- tion His Safe Arrival In New Orleans. rsrrciAi. teleokax to tub dispatcd.1 New Orleans, July 6. Notwithstand- ing the many offers of the Sullivan follow- ing to bet that Jake Kilrain would not coma to New Orleans, the Baltimore man arrived this morning on the same train that bore his opponent 48 hours before. Before leaving Cincinnati yesterday morning Mr. Neil Kerr, of the Queen and Cresent route, made arrangements to go along with them, and at once put himself in communication with General Manager Garrett and Superintend- ent Tyler, of New Orleans, with a view to following as closely as possible the tactics successfully pursued with the Sullivan train, in running through Mississippi. As in Sullivan's case, the scheme worked ad- mirably. The party had supper at Chattanooga at 6.30, where thev found Superintendent Tyler, with his flying engine and a passen- ger coach to steady the machine as she SrUN ALONQtTHE BAILS at the rate of CO miles an hour. A Cin- cinnati detective, who was on his way to New Orleans to arrest a desperate criminal, and who carried a Governor's requisi- tion for his man, but who fortunately had a strong dash of sporting blood in his com- position, told Kilrain and Mitchell that in case' the train was stopped he would pro- duce his warrant and claim Kilrain as his prisoner. The detective was accordingly taken ou board the special, and a compart- ment adjoining Kilrain's was given him; but he had no cause to use his warrant, as they were not molested in any way by the Mississippi authorities,although it was said this afternoon by some members of the party that the sheriffs were in waiting at Meridian. Only two stops were made in the 140-mi- stretch, both times at water tanks situated in the midst of thick woods. Kilrain had hardly finished his toilet at 8 o'clock this morning when bis train DREW VV WITH A SNORT at Pearl Biver station, and Frank Steven- son, W. G. Harding, Ned Malahan, Denny Butler and a delegation from the Southern Athletic Club who had gone out from New Orleans by the early morning train, sprang up the stops of the car and gave him a hearty welcome. After the party had been introduced to Mitchell, Pony Moore, Dr. Dougherty, of Philadelphia, Dominick and the press representatives on board, the throttle was pulled out, and no more stops were made until the Queen and Crescent depot in this city was reached. There was a large crowd assembled, al- though the rain was falling in such. torrents that every street was a canal, and the gut- ters, which are a foot lower than the center ot the thoroughfare, were rihing rivers. The members of the Southern Athletic Club had carriages waiting for the party, and they were rapidly driven to the commodious and beautilul club house and gymnasium of the organization that is A DEADLY BITAL, as one can imagine, of the Young Men' Gymnastic Club, . whose-gnes- t- Sullivan Is THE while here. The quarters are at the corner of Prytania and Washington streets, and are among the finest in the South. Kilrain, of course, did not look at his best after his long journey, but he presented quite a formidable appearance, clad in a gray flannel shirt, with a straw hat and striped trousers of dark goods, as he leaned back on the cushions of the carriage and ad- mired the low houses with their broad verandas extending almost entirely around them for the Southern Athletic Club house is in one of the most fashionable parts of the city. Mitchell, fat and saucy, did not have as much to say as usual, but, like the owl, Charlev is "like the de'il to think," and was probably hatching up a scheme that would benefit his man in some way. When the clubhouse was reached, 100 members of the club met Kilrain and his immediate fol- lowers and escorted them to the parlor, where Mr. J. J. Mellon presented the Balti-moreia- n with a floral horseshoe and crescent combined, welcoming the guests in a neat speech, remarking that the horseshoe is THE SIGN OF GOOD LUCK and the crescent emblematio of New Or- leans, and that Kilrain might be victorious In his coming fight Kilrain stood playing nervously with his straw hat while Mr. Mellon spoke, and when he had concluded, said: "New Or- leans has always had a reputation for fair- ness. I know I shall have fair play. That's all I ask, and may the best man win." He was then stripped, and after a bath, rubbed down. Dinner was served an hour later, and at its conclusion Kilrain and Mitchell came down to the St Charles Hotel, which is fully three miles from his quarters, to see Frank Stevenson. He was followed by a large crowd of curious blacks and whites, and was at once conducted to Stevenson's room. He went upstairs two minutes be- fore the trio came downstairs, passed into the street, and went direct to the office of Bud Benaud, at 4 Carondelet street TIRED, BUT NOT DISHEARTENED. To The Dispatch reporter Kilrain said: "I am feeling a trifle tired after my trip, but am confident that I can hold'my own." Mitchell is sanguine, and his father-in-la- Pony Moore, declares that there is but one man in it, and that all his money will go on Kilrain. The promoter of minstrelsy in England, however, did not proclaim wildly that he was dying to have somebody take his money, and nothing was done, The Kilrain people, it is said, have 525.-00- 0 to back their man, but so far none of it has been seen. They can be accommodated at odds of $100 to $60, and even $100 to $50, any time they care to come to the front At 2 o'olock Frank Stevenson, with a paper in his hand and closelv followed by ijua itenaud, ruined into tbe bt. Uharles 'Hotel and anxiously inquired for Johnson andWakely. The latter was speedily found, and Stevenson broke forth as follows: "I want you folks to sign this paper, waiving your right to hold us to the original battle- ground selected. It is impossible to bring the fight off there, and something must be done speedily." ANXIOUS ENOUGH TO FIGHT. Wakely's response was characteristic of the man. It was this: "Go ahead and get a battleground anvwhere you can. We are so anxious to fight that we will willingly relieve you from the letter of the articles of agreement We will fight you at any place you may select" Sullivan's friends are inclined to think that Wakely conceded too much, but the Gothamite said in explanation of his course "Why, if we tried to hold them to the articles of agreement so far as the battleground is concerned, the chances are that they would have the authorities there to pinch every mother's son on the ground. We want to leave them no loophole of es- cape, and if there is no fight we want the public to know where the responsibility lies." Bud Benaud said this evening, when it became rumored that the men wouldn't meet on Monday, and perhaps not at all: "You can rest assured that they will fight, and on Monday, too, as the .con- tract stipulates." Nobody here is particularly anxious to have Stevenson's job, and the Sullivan people are congratulating themselves that they did not call the turn on the coin which was flipped in Johnson's saloon a month aso.

New Orleans, July C. Your correspon- dent this evening interviewed Captain W. H. Beanham, commanding officer of the Louisiana Field Artillery, and who will have charge of the militia in case it is called out. as to the situation. There are but two militia companies in New Orleans tbe Louisi- ana Field Artillery and tbe Louisiana Rifles, the others bavins been sworn out of tho state since a few months ago, because tbe Legisla- ture refused to make an appropriation for them. Captain Beanham will command any force of militia sent to suppress the figbt. Captain Beanham admitted that the Governor bad sent for him twice yesterday, and again to- day, and had finally placed him under orders to hold himself in readiness to call his company into active service at a minute's notice. His Interview with tho Governor y had been a long one, lasting several hours. Gov- ernor Nlcholls was very angry, and expressed his sentimsnts very earnestly and emphatically. He was determined that the fight should not take place In Louisiana, and after consultation with his legal and military advisors, was de- vising ways and means to prevent it. He thought the affair had long since pissed the bounds of endurance. Hit proclamations has been set at naught and tne power of the State derided, and be as Governor could not Ignore it or refuse to prevent the fight. THE CHANCES IN LOUISIANA. Your correspondent asked Captain Beanham what he personally thought of the matter, and whether, in his belief, force could or would be used sufficient to prevent tbe figbt coming off. "1 am convinced," be replied, "that it will not be fought in Louisiana, and that sufficient stress has or will be taken to prevent this." "But," he was asked, "have not tbe managers given or pledged themselves that the figbt will come off." "No, I don't think they have," Captain Bean- ham replied. "They- - have said that it would take place, but you will notice that they have never said that it would come off in Louisiana. I, myself, think it will be fought, but not in this State." Your correspondent was led to believe from what Captain Beanham said that the managers bad given Governor Nlcholls reason to think. if they bad not given some pledge, that the mill nould not occnr in Louisiana. Jnst before tbe Sullivan-Rya- n fight of 1882, the managers were summoned before Governor McEnery, it will be remembered, and made to promise, un- der heavy bonds, that they would go out of the State to fight If the battle does not come off in Louisiana, there are but two other available points for it, Mississippi and Mobile county, Alabama. The change made In tbe hour for tbe departure ot tbe excursion train from 4 A. M. to 1 A. M. wonld indicate that the managers propose to take the train ..A LONGER DISTANCE than they originally intended to go, and for that reason start earlier. By starting at 1 or 2 o'clock tbe Mississippi line would be reached before daylight. It is also definitely known that tbe site chosen up to yesterday was again changed this morning, the Sullivan people waiving their claims to the requisite ten days' notice. Captain Beanham wouldn't say for what service his company was called out, but left the Impression that it would be at tbe depot Monday morning, too, by tbe orders of the Governor, either in the matter ot stopping the outgoing train or for the purpose of going along with it, escorting tbe party tc the Louisi- ana lino and making sure that no fight oc- curred this side of tbe Pearly river. The managers, on their part, preserve tbe same cool confidence tbey have shown from tbe start. They will not go into particular?, as they were disposed to do at first, and say that tbe fight will come oil in Louisiana or Mississippi, but simply insist that It will bfi on time. They got the advice of a number o' eminent lawyers y, who will be called in by them In case tbe matter is taxen into court, and all these lawyers are of opinion thattbere is nothing in the Louisiana statutes to stop a prize fight in anticipation, and that tbe authorities can do nothing. The Dis- trict Attorney and Attorney General both de- clared that there was no law in Louisiana against prize fighting, and that' nothing could bebronirht against tbe pugilists themselves except the trifling one of fighting and disturb! mginepuDUC peace; anu it was very aououui if tbe latter charge would lie, as the figbt would take place on privateproperty, far re- moved from any settlement. The ring would be PITCHED IN THE WOODS, where no one would be disturbed and every1 precaution had been taken to properly police PITTSBTJBG DISPATCH. the grounds and prevent disturbance of any. kind. "There is nothing In the world," they finally said, "that will prevent a decision as to tbe merits of the two men." If the military powers of the State were called on and reached the scene of battle in time, the mill might be temporarily stopped, "but if we are interfered with in our rights." he continued, "the people in authority will be held to strict legal accountability. People have come here from all parts of tbe country too see this fight, and we can't afford to be at the head of a fluke. If we cannot fight in Louisiana, we wi!l fight somewhere else, but we promise you there will be a fight Monday." Nearly all tbe officials interested in tbe administration ot criminal justice do not see how the Governor can interfere under tbe law. Tho opinions of Attorney General Rogers and District Attorney Fenney have al- ready been given. Judge Marr, of the Crim- inal District Court, does not see what can be done to stop tbe meeting, Tbe pugilists might be brought before him, charged with being about to break the peace, and might be placed under bonds, but he could not make the bond over $500, and be did not see what else could legally be done in advance ot the battle. IT MAY BE IN ARKANSAS. An Application Blade to Governor Eagle for Permission to Fight. Little Rock, July 6. The action taken by the Governors of Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana in regard to tbe Sulllvan-Kilral- n fight, has been the cause of considerable dis- cussion among tbe sporting men In this city. No little surprise, notwithstanding this fact, was occasioned inofficial circles at a late hour by tbe receipt ot the following tele- gram by Governor Eagle: JIT. Nebo, Ahk., LulyS. To Govern or Eagle, Little Bock: April cation made for fizbtlng ground for Sulli- van and KUraln on Mr. Nebo. Will yon permit the&ghtr Joseph EVANS.

Governor Eagle was at first disposed to treat the matter as a joke, but when convinced that the telegram was genuine, replied that be would not permit the fight to occur on Arkan- sas soil, ff he could prevent it. He said to . a reporter that it seemed that a great many obstacles had been thrown in the way cf the pugilist and it might happen that they wonld attempt to accomplish their pur- pose In Arkansas, but he supposed the sheriffs and other officers wonld be on tbe alert to pre- vent it. "If it becomes necessary," said he, with emphasis. for me to act I would use all lawful means I could to defeat it" Y TELLS THE TALE. If the Flsht Can Come Off In Louisiana It Will Soon be Known. ISf ECIAL TELIGKAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 New OeeeanS, July 6. The latest and most startling phase in tbe Snllivan-Kilrat- n mill is a report from an unimpeachable source that Governor Nlcholls will not Insist on the Louisi- ana Artillery preventing the men coming to-- ? ether within this State, and that after still nrther perusal of the statutes be has arrived at tbe conclusion tbat tbe men can fight and violate none of the laws of Louisiana. Captain Beanham, of the Field Artillery, It is said, has told friends that he would be at the ring side and wonld en joy It as much as any- body there. The managers of tbe affair know nothing of this alleged change of base on tbe part of tbe Governor, bnt will tell the tale. A man In an official position said at 11.30 o'clock: "If tbe men want to fight, tbey can do it right here In Louisiana on Monday without interference." This report must be taken with a grain of salt, as Governor Micboll, who is known as a determined man. said only this afternoon tbat the-batt-le would not be permitted to come off in this State.

The attendance at the office of the Railroad Commissioners to hear the evidence taken by the National Senatorial Inter-Stat- e Commsssion was much larger than yesterday. President Cullom called upon Mr. Alden Speare, President of the Boston Chamber ot Com- merce. Mr. Speare has a prepared state- ment that he read to the committee. It included resolutions passed hy the Boston Executive Business Mens' Association de- precating any interference with the com- pletion of tbe Canadian roads with the New York lines. Mr. Speare gave some statistics and rea- sons tending to support this position, and detailed the efforts ot various trade organi- zations for relief from the unfair discrimina- tion of the lines against Boston and in favor ot New York, before the interference of Canadian lines. After this had appeared he said the matter began to assume a dif- ferent aspect, and the American roads began to be more accommodating. President II. is. Goodwin, of tbe Boston Executive "Business Association, was next heard. He detailed Bostons disadvantages as compared and said these disadvantages would be increased should Canadian competition be withdrawn. Forty per cent of the grain coming to NewEngland comes by Canadian roads in winter; in summer the proportion is larger. The grand trunk was the pioneer in giving ac- commodations to the produce traffic and the American roads were forced to fall in line. The inter-Stat- e commerce law affects New England adversely because all its traffic is inter-Stat- e while New York has one line within its borders. Afterthe passage of tbe inter-Stat- e law through rates were taken from a large number1 of New England points. The Canadian traffic- tended to neutralize the effect this had; the Canadian lines had not been wreckers of rates; before this the trunk lines seemed to consider New En- gland a ground for preying upon. Boston has for many years had a hard struggle to retain her traffic, and it is important noth- ing should be done to militate against her interests. If these Canadian roads should arrange to ship from Canadian ports it would hurt Portland but would not affect Boston. Ron Over a Child.

The office was originally constituted to have oversight of the working force of the department, and make a keen analysis of the personnel of the appointees. In more recent years it has borne the brunt of the charges made for political reasons,and since it seems that an administration is not certain of more than a four years' lease of life it becomes important that the incumbent should be alert and courageous, kick out offensive par- tisans as rapidly as convenient, and relieve both Secretary and President as far as possi- ble from the criticisms that attach to re- movals. HIS WINGS WERE CLIPPED. Mr. Bacheller started in with all the en- thusiasm of one who thoroughly believed in kicking the rascals out, and he made prog- ress which delighted himself and his su- periors. As a political bouncer he was voted an immense success, and each act met with a hearty encore. But when criticism began to pile upon criticism Irom the Mug- wump press the President and Secretary "Windom hinted that it would not do to go too fast The administration must appear to keep in line with the declarations of the Republican platform. To cnt this story short, Mr. Bocheller's wings were clipped, and as a political bouncer he could soar no more, but only flop about like a hen in a barrel. Mr. Bacheller protested, but his protest fell on deaf ears. He went home to New York and counseled with Republican leaders who emphasized his protest, but without effect To make matters worse, to put on the last straw, as it were, Senator Hiscock began to usurp bis prerogative even in the little fenced-i- n field tbat was left for him. He found that appointments were be- ing made even in New York without his knowledge or consent Sometimes they were made by one person and at other times by another; but Bacheller always found that Hiscock, "the prize ox of Syracuse," as he is called, was the instigator of the crime against, his official right Mr. Bacheller complained to Secretary "Windom, but that gentleman professed ignorance and declared nentrality. POLITICAL COMPLICATIONS. Bacheller was left, wrecked, and stranded at the mercy of Hiscock. The offensive in- terference of the Senator has been more ag- gravating than usual during tbe last few days, and to-d- the Assistant Secretary could endure the humiliation of his posi- tion no longer. To his friends he declared his unalterable resolution to offer his resig- nation next week. It is just possible that the President, when he discovers the gravity of the situation, may inter- fere and smooth out the ruffled surface of affairs. But Hiscock is not one who compromises easily, and as he has started forth with the intention of forcing Bachel- ler out of office, he will doubtless win his point Mr. B. is very strong politically in New, York, lie is said to have been one of tbe gifts of the administration to the faction which is not particularly friendly to His- cock, and in case of his enforced resigna- tion, in the interest of self-respe- the inci- dent may have on important effect on the political future of the Empire State. OFFICE SEEKERS SNUBBED. Secretary Windom ShntaThem Ont, in the Interest of Public Bnnlncss Treas- ury and Censna Ap- pointment. "Washington, July 6. Secretary "Win- dom has abandoned the practice of holding public'receptions, and will hereafter receive visitors by card only. Me says that be cannot give proper attention to the business of the Department if he is compelled to listen con- stantly to the appeals of office 'seek- ers.

The report of .Colonel Hughes, Inspector General, in re- gard "to the case of Lieutenant O. M. Carter, Engineer Corps, has been received at the ,War Department. Lieutenant Carter has charge of the ri'er and harborimprovements in Georgia and Florida and was charged by "W. B. Curtis,'a former employe, with brib- ery and corrupt practices in connection with those vrorks. The charges were investi- gated by Colonel Hughes, and his report completely) exonerates the officer and de- scribes, the charges as "a traitorous and dastardly attack upon an Innocent man." Colonel Hughes says that Inasmuch as the Government is not blessed with very many- - servants who exhibit the zeal ana expend the enersrr that Carter has shown in his work, great care should be taken to pro- tect them from unwarranted abuse. The report has been approved by the Secretary Wt ?,u. J 1889.-- . THE-STEPL- MYSTERY, - s Agent Dean la Charge of the Case Twelve Young Girls Examined The Proceedings Kept Quiet. An examination of 12 girlswas made by Agent Dean of the Anti-Crjiel- ty Society last night at Alderman Hartman's office concerning what they knew of the Dora Steplein mystery. The names of the girls examined are Mary Socker, Minnie Caylor, Katie Bchlie, Tinnie "Wentel, Millie Schlie, Minnie Caylor, Katie "Walk- er, Lizzie Caylor, Cora Timothy,' Sadie "Wilkensbaugh, Lizzie Schwartzenwhat and Dora Thompson. Mrs. Barbara Step- lein, mother of the missing girl, was also examined. All of the girls were talked to.but refused to make public any part of the examination. Mrs. Steplein said she w6uld have nothing further to do with the case, but declined to give any reason for her decision. As to Aldermen Hartman, he also refused to talk on the matter. Although he claimed the case was now out of his hands and in those of the Anti-Cruel- ty Society he advised all the girls.in the presence of a Dispatch to talk to him. He positively re- fused to answer any question the reporter asked. , Another person who was present at the hearing also refused to talk on the subject, saying tt would be a breach of confidence on his part should be do so. "When asked if the testimony given by the girls was of much importance he said it may be and it may not Agent Dean was questioned and at first refused to answer any questions asked, but finally said: "The girls were the most careful lot that it has been my misfortune.to meet They would talk at random, but would not an- -, swer questions in a direct manner. The in- formation we gained from them does not amount to much." "Was there no important evidence brought out?" was asked. "Nothing that would even give us a small clew. I tell you they were most exceed- ingly guarded in what they said. It was surprising for girls of their age." He was asked whether any warrants had been issued or any new clews obtained. The former question was not answered, but in reply to the latter, he said: "We have no new clews, but of course we have no intention of giving the case up. On the other hand, it will be probed to the bottom. The girl shall and must be found. "When she left home she had nothing but 50 cents in her possession, but- - it was learned that later she had enough money to make a small fortune. "Who but the people who are interested in the case was this money furnishedby?" Mr. N.'E. Dorante, the Secretary of the Anti-Cruelt- y Society, refused to make any statement whatever. ' ( Another man spoken to said he did not have the least doubt but that the officer who, said he could produce the girl if $25 were given could do so. He further said that it was strange 'Squire Hartman would not tell what.he knows of the case. It was his opinion that a certain person prom- inently connected with the case knows where the girl is, and is keeping it quiet for the purpose of making a speculation for the lawyers, who are deeply interested in the mystery. Lucy Jarrett, a young girl, stated that Dora Steplein was at her mother's home two days before her final disappearance, but was put out. The statement that she was at Hummell's Grove, on Mt "Washington, on July 4,"is denied. 0APT. DAWSON'S BOMANCE. He Was Francis Warrington Reeks a'nd Ban Avray From England to be a Confederate Glory In Ills , . New Name. rsrXCTAI, TXLZORAX TO THE DISPATCH. New Yokk, July 6. The Dispatch to-d- referred to a statement made by one who was ina position to know, that the real name of CaptaiiTDawson, who was shot in Charleston, was Beeks, and that Captain Dawson was in fact an own brother of the Eev. Father Beeks, who is a priest in St George's Cathedral, London, and who has been recently spoken of as a relative of Dr. Cronin. A gentle- man in this city, who was a very warm per- sonal friend ofljCaptain Dawson and who for a long time maintained intimate busi- ness relations with him, made this state- ment to a Dispatch reporter y. "It is true that Captain Dawson's 'real name was Beeks. His fnll name was Francis Warrington Beeks, and he went by the name of Francis "Warrington Dawson. This change ot name was not dne to any circumstances discreditable to Captain Dawson. At the outbreak of the war here Captain Dawson was a boy in England. His sympathies became 'strongly enlisted with the Confederates and he ran away from home hiding as a stowaway bn a ship to join the Confederate army. "Realizing that his life would be one of adventure, and not wishing to have any rumpus over a violation of the neutrality laws by an Englishman, he assumed his mother's maiden name of Dawson. Under this name he served throughout the war and was gazetted and promoted. At the close of the war he was very proud of his record and wished to retain the name associated with it. He consulted several eminent lawyers, who told him that as he had no blood relatives in this country, there was ne reason why he should not continue to be known by the name he had assumed. He resolved, therefore, to keep the name of Dawson. Captain Dawson never made any secret ot the' fact that Beeks was his right name. His brother, the Rev. Father Beeks, visited him in Charleston, and Cap- tain Dawson introduced the priest every- where under the name of Beeks as his brother. "The story that Dr. Cronin was a brother of Captain Dawson and Father Beeks is a wild yarn. Dawson never knew anything about Cronin. He was a warm sympa- thizer, though, with the cause of the Irish Nationalists." MORE SCALES SIGNED. ' The List Swelled to Tblrty-EIg- ut and More Expected This Week. Three more large iron firms were added to the list of 35 that have sigried the Amalga- mated Association scale, increasing the number to 33, The latest signers are the Cleveland Hardware Company, of Cleve- land, O.; Lloyd, Sons & Co., pro- prietors of the 'Kensington Iron Works on Second avenue, and the North Chicago Boiling Mill, at Milwaukee, "Wis. The latter is a large concern, employing over 2,000 men. The Cleveland Hardware Company is a concern that comes in compe- tition with Oliver Bros. & Phillips, and this firm is expected to follow their exam- ple and sign the scale before many days. President rWeihe, of the Amalgamated Association, says that a number of other firms may have signed, but the scales are received bv mall, and those that have been signed to-d- will not be received until to- morrow. There is nothing new in the situation at Homestead, and the officials on both sides say that nothing will likely be done until the end of this week. It May Start. It was rumored yesterday that the Con- tinental Tube "Works, which have been idle for two years, have been leased and will be put in operation in a short time.

The Sritematlc Robbery of a Weil-Kno- Concern Detected Tbe Alleged Thief Arrested and Good Recovered. An evident case of systematic theft, that surprised all those most directly interested and familiarly acquainted with the prin- cipal, was yesterday unearthed in con- nection with the clothing house of Kaufmann Bros. Isador Fox, a salesman who for the past six months had been employed and very well liked In the children's clothing department cf that store, and who, until a year ago had been a trusted employe of.the house for two years, was arrested, taken before Magistrate McKenna and locked up or a hearirg, on information lodged by Morris Baer, of the Kaufmann establish- ment , From the information and an interview with Mr. Baer, the following allegations against Mr. Fox were" learned: Not only was the latter a man who would be the last one suspected of theft; but the firm had long employed a checking system whereby it was deemed impossible for any clerk to take goods from the establishment without the surveillance and "O. K." of a man specially designated for that purpose. Indeed, it was possible for Mr. Fox, or any otber salesman, to systematically purloin $350 worth of children's clothing from the store in only one way, and that was to conceal the goods in small parcels under his own wearing apparel. It all came out in this way, however: Mr. Fox, on Friday, went to dinner as usual. But he did not come back or send any ex- cuse for absence. He did go to his land-lad- y though, and advance a pretext about loaning his trunks to a friend, whereby he was enabled to remove them and their con- tents. He took them to the Seventh Ave- nue Hotel, where he registered as "L Fleck, New York," and engaged room 360, in which his baggage was placed. His next move, as alleged, was to call on a "Wylie ovenue clothier and in- troduce himself as Mr. Fleck, rep- resenting "Shire & Simon,NewYork,"a fic- titious clothing firm, for whom he wished to dispose, at a great sacrifice, of a small lot of new sample goods in children's clothing. The Wylie avenue clothier, being induced to visit tbe hotel and look at the goods, was offered,the $350 lot for 590. He agreed, and proceeded to make out' his check, but in favor of the firm rather than "Fleck." The latter sought and obtained identification among his friends; "queering" his name so that "Fleck" might sound very like "Fox." Then, before the check was made out, the still suspicious purchaser talked the matter over with friends, sold four of the suits at a nice profit, and had about finished the trans- action with regard to the other 35 suits, when the talk he had indulged in led to the arrest of Fox and the recovery by the right- ful owners of all the clothing. It was a well-work- scheme, for a man who had always been looked upon as innocence itself, and whose demeanor at the store was most modest A D1Y0ECB IN HIGH S0CIETT. The) Suit Brought Against tho Son of the Sugar Trait King. TXLZGBAX TO Till DISPATCH. New Yoek, July 6. A suit for divorce, of which no public mention has heretofore been made, has been heard before Beferee "William N.

The families concerned in this case are of high social position in New York society. The plaintiff is Mrs. Clara S. Have-meye- r. She is the daughter of Mr. Edward Stephens, the well-know- n law- yer of Temple Court, and granddaughter of Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, the authoress. Her mother was one of the Sutton sisters, famous for their beauty, grace and accom- plishments when belles of New York so- ciety. The defendant, young Mr. "Wm. Have-meye- r, is a son of the late Henry Have-meye- r, a brother of the head of the great sugar firm. The father died on his island in the Great South Bay two or three years ago, leaving a handsome fortune to his widow. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. William Havemever was a runaway match. In Jnne, 1887, the two young people went quietly to urange one day ana were married at the Episcopal Church there. He was then about 21 and she 19. Even then his dissipations were very notorious in (Tew York. He had no income of any sort ex- cept what his mother chose to allow him.

The Pennsylvania road has "seen the Baltimore and Ohio and gone it one better." Yesterday It met the reduction to Baltimore and that of 18 cents to Philadelphia, and in addition made a 12J4-ce- nt rate to Pittsburg and Allegheny. This morning, at the meeting of the Chicago Committee ot the Central Traffic Association, the Pennsylvania gave further notice that all the above rates would go into effect July 10, that the New York basis of 25 cents would be cut to 20 cents, and that it would take shipments from St Louis as well as Chicago at these rates. These rates apply only on wheat and corn, but the belief is prevalent among the mem- bers of the committee that the break will extend to all grain and flour. Especially is this so because the Pennsylvania has not only been so quick to meet, but likewise to extend the break. A f IGHT BI WHOLESALE.

Prince Bismarck's let- ters to the German Minister at Berne, pub--, lished in the Seichsanze'jer on Thursday, have been the prelude to a general outcry by the semi-offici- al press, menacing the neutrality of Switzerland. The Chancellor's intention in publishing; ; the letters which was at first supposed to be merely for the purpose of justifylnghis atti- tude toward Switzerland, has now invested with a serious meaning the letter in which hfc says that if Switzerland continues to per- mit revolutionists to threaten the internal peace and security of the German Empire)"1 v the powers will be asked to consider Swiss neutrality. This is not an idle menace. An exchange of communications has resulted in an identi- cal policy being adopted by the Austrian and Italian Governments to compel Switzer- land to comply with 4he demands of Bis- marck for a revision of the laws affecting refugees.

lie Bfqneathes Eii Concealed Store to the Warden

mi His Father.

Eleven years ago James Hoover buried7,6G6 in gold beneath an oak tree in Porter

township, Huntingdon county. He wasafterward imprisoned for life in Colorado,on a charge of murder. He died a monthago, and revealed the secret to the warden,instructing him to seek out his father anddivide the money. The money has just beenrecovered.

tSrXCIAL TZLEOEAM TO THE DISPATCU.l

Huntington. Pa., July 6. Cartertownship, this county, is in a fever of ex-

citement over the finding of a buried tr-- is

ure, consisting of gold nuggets worth $7,G66,

by Warden Hoyt, of the State Penitentiary,at Canon City, Col. The "Warden got a tipof the hidden wealth from a life convict,but recently dead. About 15 years ago,James Hoover, a resident of Franklincounty, in this State, in order to avenge awrong done to his sister by a physician ofthat county, snot and killed the latter.

Before h'e could be apprehended, he fled,finally locating at one of the numerousmining camps in Colorado. There he met aman, George Simpson, of Ohio, and the two,after joining fortunes, finallystruck it rich.When they had amassed a considerable for-

tune in gold-du- st and nuggets, Simpson Jellill, and during his sickness. Hoover, bispartner, decamped with all their wealth.Fearing to remain longer in that part of thecountry, Hoover decided to come Eastagain and brave the chances of being ar-rested.

SEARCHING FOB HIS TARENTS.Hearing that his parents had moved from

Franklin county to near McConnellstown,in this county, he came here in search ofthem. His search, however, proved un-availing, and as nothing ofuld be learned ofhis parents, he left the neighborhood of Mc-Connellstown and started north in the direction of Alexandria, 12 miles distant. Whenhalf this distance had been covered Hooverbecame verv weary with the weight of histreasure, and, stopping by the wayside onthe farm of Michael T. Branneman, he hidhis gold nuggets under the roots of a whiteoak tree.

He then made a careful draft of the sur-rounding country, entering into theminutest details, and after familiarizinghimself with the surroundings, he resumedhis journey. Hoover's iruitless search forhis parents continued until the latter partof the year 1878, when he returned to Colo-rado without taking with him the gold nug-gets which nc had buried on the Brennemanfarm. On his sectnd visit to Colorado heencountered Simpson, his former partner,whom be had robbed, and at firt sight bothopened fire on each other, resulting in thekilling of Simpson.

For this Hoover was arrested, tried andsent to the State Penitentiary for life, and,after serving ten years there, he died lastmonth.

A CONVICT'S WILL.Besides the mark of the place where he

had hidden the gold in this country 11 yearspreviously. Hoover left an autobiographyand a will in which he bequeathed toWarden Hoyt, of the Canon City Peniten-tiary, and to his own father, should thelatteheionnd, all his possessions, which con-sisted principally of his buried gold nuggets.Armed with the necessary papers, WardenHoyt came East, found Hoover's father in aremote part of Franklin county, and a weekago the two arrived in this city in search ofthe hidden treasure. Going to McConnells-town, they lollowed up the route taken ten

cars ago by James Hoover, and by carefulInquiry located in a general way the placewhere the gold was hidden.

On Tuesday ot this week they reachedthe home of Michael T. Brenneman, andupon exhibiting to him the map of thegroui.d found to their joy that their searchwas about to be rewarded, for Farmer Bren-neman instantly recognized the map as adiagram of his property. Leaving Mr.Brenneman, as he savs, stupefied by theirstartling recital, Warden Hoyt and the oldman Hoover repaired to the foot of thewhite oak tree along the roadside, and therebeneath its overlapping roots, but littlecovered by the soil, they unearthed thegolden treasure which 11 years before JamesHoover, the fugitive, had hidden.

Xew York, July 6. Assistant DistrictAttorney Parker spent most of this after-noon in taking down the statements ofnewly returned victims of Liverpool Jack,the boarding house runner, against whomindictments are already pending for kid-naping. The men arrived on theSteamship Saratoga from Yucatan onThursday. The men said thatJocole Goldstein, an emigrantrunner, introduced them to .Liverpool J act last spring.Liverpool Jack shipped them to Yucatan,making all sorts of golden promises. Theywent to work there at Progresso for theProgressive Commercial Agency like othersof Liverpool Jack's victims. They saythat they had to work 14 hoursa day, to sleep on the sand, were beaten androbbed, were supplied with poor food nndwere maltreated generally. In paying themen their wages, though, the agent, theysay, gave them bat $22 ol the $32 which wasowing them.

StTLLIVAN'S EXCELLENT CONDITION.

Sullivan's friends are wild With apprehen-sion lest there should be no fight, as theirman was never in such condition before,and is certain to win beyond accident thevsav, and they fear that should the matchfail through, John will relapse into hisformer pitiable condition.

The Kilrain people insist that their inten-tions are good, but a good many personswho are well posted drew comparisons be-

tween the care that is being taken of Sulli-van and the fact that Kilrain was runningaround town three hours after bis arrival inNew Orleans, although he had just left thetrain after a continuous ride of almost 1,000miles, and should be lying down resting.

Kilrain did not remain down town verylong, taking a light lunch at Moreau's, onCanal street, with Stevenson and Benaud,but even his strongest admirers thonght heought to have been in bed, or at least bekept quiet That little Question of the com-

putation of time has not been settled, and islikely to produce a long and vexatiouswrangle at the ring side.

THE BIG CROWDS PETEB OUT.Bnd Benaud has, despite the action of

the mobile Governor, gone on quietly in thenork of arranging for transportation to thebattleground. It was at first supposed thatfull v 2,000 persons would want to go, butthe Northern and Western excursions havepetered out sadly. Dominick McCaffrey'smammoth excursion from New York dwin-dled down to 19 persons when it reachedhere this morning, and the great Police Ga-zette special train of cars, so extensively ad-vertised for some time, would have carriedjust 12 persons.

For a town where they sell lottery ticketsat every corner, and pool rooms and othergambling games are as plentiful as huckle-berries in summer time, there is very littlebetting done on the result of the big fight.Mr. Bat Masterson, of Denver, who threemonths ago expressed the opinion that

KILRAIN WOULD WIN,and that he proposed to bet on him, qualify-ing the statement by the remark that hewould be on hand to see that he would havea square fight for his money, arrived thismorning, in company with a dozen or sokindred sports from Ft. Dodge, KansasCity. St Louis and Ft Worth. There weresome very slick men in the party, but someof them were not smooth enough to escapethe nimble fingers and razor-lik- e knives ofsomebody on the train, for they ar-rived here minus several gold watchesand rolls of bank bills. One man had hismoney sewed up in the sleeve of his coat;when he arose this morning he was minusthe money, and a tailor had a job, thesleeve being cut most dextrously.

The town is alive ht with bad men,and not since the war has there been somany real bad men in New Orleans. Gunshalf as long as your arm protrude fromevery hip pocket.

MAT BE A LONG FIGIIT.Dominick McCaffrey, who is here, said in

regard to Kilrain's condition: "I saw Kil-rain stripped last night, before he retired tohis compartment, and I think be is in goodcondition. The fight will, in my opinion,be a long one, and will not be won withouta lot ofpunishment on both sides."

Another equally good judge who saw himsaid: "While Kilrain is in fair condition,lie is not iinat you would call on edge.

Billy Madden, of New York; JohnnyBeagan.the Gotham middle weight.P. Shar-key, Davis Holland and others from NewYork and Brooklyn, arrived here thismorning. Madden says he is here to wit-ness the fight, and incidentally to challengethe winner to meet Jack Ashton, of Prov-idence, for $5,000 and the championship.

It is now raid by men very close to theSullivan party, that Billy Muldoon,will,with Mike Cleary, be behind Sullivan.Mnldoon held off as long as-h- e could, butwhen Arthur Chambers got on his highhorse there was nothing for him to do butaccept

New Orleans, July 6. Notwithstand-ing the many offers of the Sullivan follow-ing to bet that Jake Kilrain would not comato New Orleans, the Baltimore man arrivedthis morning on the same train that bore hisopponent 48 hours before. Before leavingCincinnati yesterday morning Mr. NeilKerr, of the Queen and Cresent route, madearrangements to go along with them, and atonce put himself in communication withGeneral Manager Garrett and Superintend-ent Tyler, of New Orleans, with a view tofollowing as closely as possible the tacticssuccessfully pursued with the Sullivantrain, in running through Mississippi. Asin Sullivan's case, the scheme worked ad-mirably.

The party had supper at Chattanooga at6.30, where thev found SuperintendentTyler, with his flying engine and a passen-ger coach to steady the machine as she

SrUN ALONQtTHE BAILSat the rate of CO miles an hour. A Cin-cinnati detective, who was on his way toNew Orleans to arrest a desperate criminal,and who carried a Governor's requisi-tion for his man, but who fortunately had astrong dash of sporting blood in his com-position, told Kilrain and Mitchell that incase' the train was stopped he would pro-duce his warrant and claim Kilrain as hisprisoner. The detective was accordinglytaken ou board the special, and a compart-ment adjoining Kilrain's was given him;but he had no cause to use his warrant, asthey were not molested in any way by theMississippi authorities,although it was saidthis afternoon by some members of theparty that the sheriffs were in waiting atMeridian.

Only two stops were made in the 140-mi-

stretch, both times at water tanks situatedin the midst of thick woods. Kilrain hadhardly finished his toilet at 8 o'clock thismorning when bis train

DREW VV WITH A SNORTat Pearl Biver station, and Frank Steven-son, W. G. Harding, Ned Malahan, DennyButler and a delegation from the SouthernAthletic Club who had gone out from NewOrleans by the early morning train, sprangup the stops of the car and gave him ahearty welcome. After the party had beenintroduced to Mitchell, Pony Moore, Dr.Dougherty, of Philadelphia, Dominick

and the press representatives onboard, the throttle was pulled out, and nomore stops were made until the Queen andCrescent depot in this city was reached.

There was a large crowd assembled, al-though the rain was falling in such. torrentsthat every street was a canal, and the gut-ters, which are a foot lower than the centerot the thoroughfare, were rihing rivers.The members of the Southern Athletic Clubhad carriages waiting for the party, andthey were rapidly driven to the commodiousand beautilul club house and gymnasiumof the organization that is

while here. The quarters are at the cornerof Prytania and Washington streets, andare among the finest in the South.

Kilrain, of course, did not look at his bestafter his long journey, but he presentedquite a formidable appearance, clad in agray flannel shirt, with a straw hat andstriped trousers of dark goods, as he leanedback on the cushions of the carriage and ad-mired the low houses with their broadverandas extending almost entirely aroundthem for the Southern Athletic Club houseis in one of the most fashionable parts of thecity.

Mitchell, fat and saucy, did not have asmuch to say as usual, but, like the owl,Charlev is "like the de'il to think," and wasprobably hatching up a scheme that wouldbenefit his man in some way. When theclubhouse was reached, 100 members of theclub met Kilrain and his immediate fol-lowers and escorted them to the parlor,where Mr. J. J. Mellon presented the Balti-moreia- n

with a floral horseshoe and crescentcombined, welcoming the guests in a neatspeech, remarking that the horseshoe is

THE SIGN OF GOOD LUCKand the crescent emblematio of New Or-leans, and that Kilrain might be victoriousIn his coming fight

Kilrain stood playing nervously with hisstraw hat while Mr. Mellon spoke, andwhen he had concluded, said: "New Or-leans has always had a reputation for fair-ness. I know I shall have fair play. That'sall I ask, and may the best man win." Hewas then stripped, and after a bath, rubbeddown. Dinner was served an hour later,and at its conclusion Kilrain and Mitchellcame down to the St Charles Hotel, whichis fully three miles from his quarters, to seeFrank Stevenson. He was followed by alarge crowd of curious blacks and whites,and was at once conducted to Stevenson'sroom. He went upstairs two minutes be-fore the trio came downstairs, passed intothe street, and went direct to the office ofBud Benaud, at 4 Carondelet street

TIRED, BUT NOT DISHEARTENED.To The Dispatch reporter Kilrain said:

"I am feeling a trifle tired after my trip,but am confident that I can hold'my own."Mitchell is sanguine, and his father-in-la-

Pony Moore, declares that there is but oneman in it, and that all his money will go onKilrain. The promoter of minstrelsy inEngland, however, did not proclaim wildlythat he was dying to have somebody takehis money, and nothing was done,

At 2 o'olock Frank Stevenson, with apaper in his hand and closelv followed byijua itenaud, ruined into tbe bt. Uharles'Hotel and anxiously inquired for JohnsonandWakely. The latter was speedily found,and Stevenson broke forth as follows: "Iwant you folks to sign this paper, waivingyour right to hold us to the original battle-ground selected. It is impossible to bringthe fight off there, and something must bedone speedily."

ANXIOUS ENOUGH TO FIGHT.Wakely's response was characteristic of

the man. It was this: "Go ahead and get abattleground anvwhere you can. We areso anxious to fight that we will willinglyrelieve you from the letter of the articles ofagreement We will fight you at any placeyou may select"

Sullivan's friends are inclined to thinkthat Wakely conceded too much, but theGothamite said in explanation of his course

"Why, if we tried to hold themto the articles of agreement so far as thebattleground is concerned, the chances arethat they would have the authorities there topinch every mother's son on the ground.We want to leave them no loophole of es-cape, and if there is no fight we want thepublic to know where the responsibilitylies." Bud Benaud said this evening,when it became rumored that the menwouldn't meet on Monday, and perhaps notat all: "You can rest assured that theywill fight, and on Monday, too, as the .con-tract stipulates."

Nobody here is particularly anxious tohave Stevenson's job, and the Sullivanpeople are congratulating themselves thatthey did not call the turn on the coin whichwas flipped in Johnson's saloon a monthaso.

tSrEClAI. TXXXGHAM TO THE DISPATCH.

New Orleans, July C. Your correspon-dent this evening interviewed Captain W.H. Beanham, commanding officer of theLouisiana Field Artillery, and who willhave charge of the militia in case it is calledout. as to the situation. There are but twomilitia companies in New Orleans tbe Louisi-ana Field Artillery and tbe Louisiana Rifles,the others bavins been sworn out of tho statesince a few months ago, because tbe Legisla-ture refused to make an appropriation forthem. Captain Beanham will command anyforce of militia sent to suppress the figbt.Captain Beanham admitted that the Governorbad sent for him twice yesterday, and again to-

day, and had finally placed him under orders tohold himself in readiness to call his companyinto active service at a minute's notice.

His Interview with tho Governor y hadbeen a long one, lasting several hours. Gov-ernor Nlcholls was very angry, and expressedhis sentimsnts very earnestly and emphatically.He was determined that the fight should nottake place In Louisiana, and after consultationwith his legal and military advisors, was de-vising ways and means to prevent it. Hethought the affair had long since pissed thebounds of endurance. Hit proclamations hasbeen set at naught and tne power of the Statederided, and be as Governor could not Ignoreit or refuse to prevent the fight.

THE CHANCES IN LOUISIANA.Your correspondent asked Captain Beanham

what he personally thought of the matter, andwhether, in his belief, force could or would beused sufficient to prevent tbe figbt coming off."1 am convinced," be replied, "that it will notbe fought in Louisiana, and that sufficientstress has or will be taken to prevent this."

"But," he was asked, "have not tbe managersgiven or pledged themselves that the figbt willcome off."

"No, I don't think they have," Captain Bean-ham replied. "They- - have said that it wouldtake place, but you will notice that they havenever said that it would come off in Louisiana.I, myself, think it will be fought, but not inthis State."

Your correspondent was led to believe fromwhat Captain Beanham said that the managersbad given Governor Nlcholls reason to think.if they bad not given some pledge, that themill nould not occnr in Louisiana. Jnst beforetbe Sullivan-Rya- n fight of 1882, the managerswere summoned before Governor McEnery, itwill be remembered, and made to promise, un-der heavy bonds, that they would go out of theState to fight

If the battle does not come off in Louisiana,there are but two other available points for it,Mississippi and Mobile county, Alabama. Thechange made In tbe hour for tbe departure ottbe excursion train from 4 A. M. to 1 A. M.wonld indicate that the managers propose totake the train

..A LONGER DISTANCEthan they originally intended to go, and forthat reason start earlier. By starting at 1 or 2o'clock tbe Mississippi line would be reachedbefore daylight. It is also definitely knownthat tbe site chosen up to yesterday was againchanged this morning, the Sullivan peoplewaiving their claims to the requisite ten days'notice.

Captain Beanham wouldn't say for whatservice his company was called out, but leftthe Impression that it would be at tbe depotMonday morning, too, by tbe orders of theGovernor, either in the matter ot stopping theoutgoing train or for the purpose of goingalong with it, escorting tbe party tc the Louisi-ana lino and making sure that no fight oc-

curred this side of tbe Pearly river.The managers, on their part,preserve tbe same cool confidencetbey have shown from tbe start. They will notgo into particular?, as they were disposed to doat first, and say that tbe fight will come oil inLouisiana or Mississippi, but simply insist thatIt will bfi on time. They got the advice of anumber o' eminent lawyers y, who will becalled in by them In case tbe matter is taxeninto court, and all these lawyers are of opinionthattbere is nothing in the Louisiana statutesto stop a prize fight in anticipation, andthat tbe authorities can do nothing. The Dis-trict Attorney and Attorney General both de-clared that there was no law in Louisianaagainst prize fighting, and that' nothing couldbebronirht against tbe pugilists themselvesexcept the trifling one of fighting and disturb!mginepuDUC peace; anu it was very aououuiif tbe latter charge would lie, as the figbtwould take place on privateproperty, far re-moved from any settlement. The ring would be

the grounds and prevent disturbance of any.kind.

"There is nothing In the world," they finallysaid, "that will prevent a decision as to tbemerits of the two men." If the military powersof the State were called on and reached thescene of battle in time, the mill mightbe temporarily stopped, "but if weare interfered with in our rights."he continued, "the people in authority will beheld to strict legal accountability. People havecome here from all parts of tbe country too seethis fight, and we can't afford to be at the headof a fluke. If we cannot fight in Louisiana, wewi!l fight somewhere else, but we promise youthere will be a fight Monday."

Nearly all tbe officials interested intbe administration ot criminal justice do notsee how the Governor can interfere under tbelaw. Tho opinions of Attorney GeneralRogers and District Attorney Fenney have al-

ready been given. Judge Marr, of the Crim-inal District Court, does not see what can bedone to stop tbe meeting, Tbe pugilists mightbe brought before him, charged with beingabout to break the peace, and might be placedunder bonds, but he could not make the bondover $500, and be did not see what else couldlegally be done in advance ot the battle.

IT MAY BE IN ARKANSAS.

An Application Blade to Governor Eagle forPermission to Fight.

Little Rock, July 6. The action taken bythe Governors of Mississippi, Alabama andLouisiana in regard to tbe Sulllvan-Kilral- n

fight, has been the cause of considerable dis-cussion among tbe sporting men In this city.No little surprise, notwithstanding this fact,was occasioned inofficial circles at a late hour

by tbe receipt ot the following tele-gram by Governor Eagle:

Governor Eagle was at first disposed totreat the matter as a joke, but when convincedthat the telegram was genuine, replied that bewould not permit the fight to occur on Arkan-sas soil, ff he could prevent it. He saidto . a reporter that it seemed that agreat many obstacles had been thrown in theway cf the pugilist and it might happen thatthey wonld attempt to accomplish their pur-pose In Arkansas, but he supposed the sheriffsand other officers wonld be on tbe alert to pre-vent it. "If it becomes necessary," said he,with emphasis. for me to act I would use alllawful means I could to defeat it"

New OeeeanS, July 6. The latest and moststartling phase in tbe Snllivan-Kilrat- n mill is areport from an unimpeachable source thatGovernor Nlcholls will not Insist on the Louisi-ana Artillery preventing the men coming to-- ?

ether within this State, and that after stillnrther perusal of the statutes be has

arrived at tbe conclusion tbat tbe men canfight and violate none of the laws of Louisiana.Captain Beanham, of the Field Artillery, It issaid, has told friends that he would be at thering side and wonld en joy It as much as any-body there.

The managers of tbe affair know nothing ofthis alleged change of base on tbe part of tbeGovernor, bnt will tell the tale. Aman In an official position said at 11.30 o'clock:"If tbe men want to fight, tbey cando it right here In Louisiana on Mondaywithout interference."

THOSE CANADIAN EOADS.

Bcston Business Men Think Tbat Tbey nreAll Right Some Competition laNeeded- -

to Keep tbe American LinesIn Check.

Boston, July 6. The attendance at theoffice of the Railroad Commissioners tohear the evidence taken by the NationalSenatorial Inter-Stat- e Commsssion wasmuch larger than yesterday. PresidentCullom called upon Mr. Alden Speare,President of the Boston Chamber ot Com-merce. Mr. Speare has a prepared state-ment that he read to the committee. Itincluded resolutions passed hy the BostonExecutive Business Mens' Association de-

precating any interference with the com-pletion of tbe Canadian roads with the NewYork lines.

Mr. Speare gave some statistics and rea-sons tending to support this position, anddetailed the efforts ot various trade organi-zations for relief from the unfair discrimina-tion of the lines against Boston and in favorot New York, before the interference ofCanadian lines. After this had appearedhe said the matter began to assume a dif-ferent aspect, and the American roads beganto be more accommodating.

President II. is. Goodwin, of tbe BostonExecutive "Business Association, was nextheard. He detailed Bostons disadvantagesas compared and said thesedisadvantages would be increased shouldCanadian competition be withdrawn. Fortyper cent of the grain coming to NewEnglandcomes by Canadian roads in winter; insummer the proportion is larger. Thegrand trunk was the pioneer in giving ac-commodations to the produce traffic and theAmerican roads were forced to fall in line.The inter-Stat-e commerce law affects NewEngland adversely because all its traffic isinter-Stat- e while New York has one linewithin its borders. Afterthe passage of tbeinter-Stat- e law through rates were takenfrom a large number1 of New Englandpoints.

The Canadian traffic- tended to neutralizethe effect this had; the Canadian lines hadnot been wreckers of rates; before this thetrunk lines seemed to consider New En-gland a ground for preying upon. Bostonhas for many years had a hard struggle toretain her traffic, and it is important noth-ing should be done to militate against herinterests. If these Canadian roads shouldarrange to ship from Canadian ports itwould hurt Portland but would not affectBoston.

ened before Mugwump criticism, and then,urned from himto Senator Hiscock for coun-

tSPKCTAL, TXLIORAX TO TBX SISrATCS.l"Washington, July 6. It now looks as

though the disgust of Assistant SecretaryBacheller, of the Treasury Department,which was referred to in these telegramssome time ago, will result in his resignationnext week, thus gaining for New York, thepivotal State in politics, the distinc-tion of making the first break inthe administration. Mr. Bacheller, inhis official capacity, has charge ofthe appointments. He is the political end ofthe Treasury Department He is not supposedto know anything about finance or to wantto know anything about it. The office wasoriginally constituted to have oversight ofthe working force of the department, andmake a keen analysis of the personnel of theappointees. In more recent years ithas borne the brunt of the chargesmade for political reasons,and since it seemsthat an administration is not certain of morethan a four years' lease of life it becomesimportant that the incumbent should bealert and courageous, kick out offensive par-tisans as rapidly as convenient, and relieveboth Secretary and President as far as possi-ble from the criticisms that attach to re-movals.

HIS WINGS WERE CLIPPED.Mr. Bacheller started in with all the en-

thusiasm of one who thoroughly believed inkicking the rascals out, and he made prog-ress which delighted himself and his su-periors. As a political bouncer he wasvoted an immense success, and each act metwith a hearty encore. But when criticismbegan to pile upon criticism Irom the Mug-wump press the President and Secretary"Windom hinted that it would not do to gotoo fast The administration must appearto keep in line with the declarations of theRepublican platform. To cnt this storyshort, Mr. Bocheller's wings were clipped,and as a political bouncer he could soar nomore, but only flop about like a hen in abarrel. Mr. Bacheller protested, but hisprotest fell on deaf ears. He went home toNew York and counseled with Republicanleaders who emphasized his protest, butwithout effect To make matters worse, toput on the last straw, as it were, SenatorHiscock began to usurp bis prerogative evenin the little fenced-i-n field tbat was left forhim. He found that appointments were be-

ing made even in New York without hisknowledge or consent Sometimes theywere made by one person and at other timesby another; but Bacheller always foundthat Hiscock, "the prize ox of Syracuse," ashe is called, was the instigator of the crimeagainst, his official right Mr. Bachellercomplained to Secretary "Windom, but thatgentleman professed ignorance and declarednentrality.

POLITICAL COMPLICATIONS.Bacheller was left, wrecked, and stranded

at the mercy of Hiscock. The offensive in-terference of the Senator has been more ag-gravating than usual during tbe last fewdays, and to-d- the Assistant Secretarycould endure the humiliation of his posi-tion no longer. To his friends he declaredhis unalterable resolution to offer his resig-nation next week. It is just possible thatthe President, when he discovers thegravity of the situation, may inter-fere and smooth out the ruffled surfaceof affairs. But Hiscock is not one whocompromises easily, and as he has startedforth with the intention of forcing Bachel-ler out of office, he will doubtless win hispoint

THE-STEPL- MYSTERY,- s

Agent Dean la Charge of the Case TwelveYoung Girls Examined The ProceedingsKept Quiet.

An examination of 12 girlswas made byAgent Dean of the Anti-Crjiel- ty Society lastnight at Alderman Hartman's officeconcerning what they knew of the DoraSteplein mystery. The names of thegirls examined are Mary Socker, MinnieCaylor, Katie Bchlie, Tinnie "Wentel,Millie Schlie, Minnie Caylor, Katie "Walk-er, Lizzie Caylor, Cora Timothy,' Sadie"Wilkensbaugh, Lizzie Schwartzenwhatand Dora Thompson. Mrs. Barbara Step-lein, mother of the missing girl, was alsoexamined.

All of the girls were talked to.but refusedto make public any part of the examination.Mrs. Steplein said she w6uld have nothingfurther to do with the case, but declined togive any reason for her decision. As toAldermen Hartman, he also refused to talkon the matter. Although heclaimed the case was now outof his hands and in thoseof the Anti-Cruel- ty Society he advised allthe girls.in the presence of a Dispatch

to talk to him. He positively re-fused to answer any question the reporterasked. ,

Another person who was present at thehearing also refused to talk on the subject,saying tt would be a breach of confidence onhis part should be do so. "When asked ifthe testimony given by the girls was ofmuch importance he said it may be and itmay not

Agent Dean was questioned and at firstrefused to answer any questions asked, butfinally said:

"The girls were the most careful lot thatit has been my misfortune.to meet Theywould talk at random, but would not an- -,

swer questions in a direct manner. The in-

formation we gained from them does notamount to much."

"Was there no important evidencebrought out?" was asked.

"Nothing that would even give us a smallclew. I tell you they were most exceed-ingly guarded in what they said. It wassurprising for girls of their age."

He was asked whether any warrants hadbeen issued or any new clews obtained. Theformer question was not answered, but inreply to the latter, he said:

"We have no new clews, but of coursewe have no intention of giving the case up.On the other hand, it will be probed to thebottom. The girl shall and must be found."When she left home she had nothing but 50cents in her possession, but-- it was learnedthat later she had enough money to make asmall fortune. "Who but the people whoare interested in the case was this moneyfurnishedby?"

Mr. N.'E. Dorante, the Secretary of theAnti-Cruelt- y Society, refused to make anystatement whatever. ' (

Another man spoken to said he did nothave the least doubt but that the officer who,said he could produce the girl if $25 weregiven could do so. He further saidthat it was strange 'Squire Hartman wouldnot tell what.he knows of the case. It washis opinion that a certain person prom-inently connected with the case knowswhere the girl is, and is keeping it quiet forthe purpose of making a speculation for thelawyers, who are deeply interested in themystery.

Lucy Jarrett, a young girl, stated thatDora Steplein was at her mother's home twodays before her final disappearance, but wasput out. The statement that she was atHummell's Grove, on Mt "Washington, onJuly 4,"is denied.

0APT. DAWSON'S BOMANCE.

He Was Francis Warrington Reeks a'ndBan Avray From England to be a

Confederate Glory In Ills, . New Name.

rsrXCTAI, TXLZORAX TO THE DISPATCH.

New Yokk, July 6. The Dispatchto-d- referred to a statement made by onewho was ina position to know, that the realname of CaptaiiTDawson, who was shot inCharleston, was Beeks, and that CaptainDawson was in fact an own brother ofthe Eev. Father Beeks, who isa priest in St George's Cathedral,London, and who has been recently spokenof as a relative of Dr. Cronin. A gentle-man in this city, who was a very warm per-sonal friend ofljCaptain Dawson and whofor a long time maintained intimate busi-ness relations with him, made this state-ment to a Dispatch reporter y.

"It is true that Captain Dawson's 'realname was Beeks. His fnll name wasFrancis Warrington Beeks, and he went bythe name of Francis "Warrington Dawson.This change ot name was not dne to anycircumstances discreditable to CaptainDawson. At the outbreak of the war hereCaptain Dawson was a boy in England.His sympathies became 'strongly enlistedwith the Confederates and he ran away fromhome hiding as a stowaway bn a ship to jointhe Confederate army.

"Realizing that his life would be one ofadventure, and not wishing to have anyrumpus over a violation of the neutralitylaws by an Englishman, he assumed hismother's maiden name of Dawson. Underthis name he served throughout the war andwas gazetted and promoted. At the closeof the war he was very proud of his recordand wished to retain the name associatedwith it. He consulted several eminentlawyers, who told him that as he hadno blood relatives in this country, there wasne reason why he should not continue to beknown by the name he had assumed. Heresolved, therefore, to keep the name ofDawson. Captain Dawson never made anysecret ot the' fact that Beeks was his rightname. His brother, the Rev. FatherBeeks, visited him in Charleston, and Cap-

tain Dawson introduced the priest every-where under the name of Beeks as hisbrother.

"The story that Dr. Cronin was a brotherof Captain Dawson and Father Beeks is awild yarn. Dawson never knew anythingabout Cronin. He was a warm sympa-thizer, though, with the cause of the IrishNationalists."

CLOTHING DEFTLY STOLEN.

The Sritematlc Robbery of a Weil-Kno-

Concern Detected Tbe Alleged ThiefArrested and Good Recovered.

An evident case of systematic theft, thatsurprised all those most directly interestedand familiarly acquainted with the prin-cipal, was yesterday unearthed in con-nection with the clothing house of KaufmannBros. Isador Fox, a salesman who for thepast six months had been employed andvery well liked In the children's clothingdepartment cf that store, and who, until ayear ago had been a trusted employe of.thehouse for two years, was arrested, takenbefore Magistrate McKenna and locked upor a hearirg, on information lodged byMorris Baer, of the Kaufmann establish-ment ,

From the information and an interviewwith Mr. Baer, the following allegationsagainst Mr. Fox were" learned: Not onlywas the latter a man who would be the lastone suspected of theft; but the firm had longemployed a checking system whereby it wasdeemed impossible for any clerk to takegoods from the establishment without thesurveillance and "O. K." of a man speciallydesignated for that purpose. Indeed, itwas possible for Mr. Fox, or any otbersalesman, to systematically purloin $350worth of children's clothing from the storein only one way, and that was to concealthe goods in small parcels under his ownwearing apparel.

It all came out in this way, however: Mr.Fox, on Friday, went to dinner as usual.But he did not come back or send any ex-cuse for absence. He did go to his land-lad- y

though, and advance a pretext aboutloaning his trunks to a friend, whereby hewas enabled to remove them and their con-tents. He took them to the Seventh Ave-nue Hotel, where he registered as "L Fleck,New York," and engaged room 360, inwhich his baggage was placed. His nextmove, as alleged, was to call ona "Wylie ovenue clothier and in-troduce himself as Mr. Fleck, rep-resenting "Shire & Simon,NewYork,"a fic-

titious clothing firm, for whom he wishedto dispose, at a great sacrifice, of a small lotof new sample goods in children's clothing.The Wylie avenue clothier, being inducedto visit tbe hotel and look at the goods, wasoffered,the $350 lot for 590. He agreed, andproceeded to make out' his check, but infavor of the firm rather than "Fleck." Thelatter sought and obtained identificationamong his friends; "queering" his name sothat "Fleck" might sound very like "Fox."

Then, before the check was made out, thestill suspicious purchaser talked the matterover with friends, sold four of the suits at anice profit, and had about finished the trans-action with regard to the other 35 suits,when the talk he had indulged in led to thearrest of Fox and the recovery by the right-ful owners of all the clothing. It was awell-work- scheme, for a man who hadalways been looked upon as innocenceitself, and whose demeanor at the store wasmost modest

Chicago, July 6. The Pennsylvaniaroad has "seen the Baltimore and Ohio andgone it one better." Yesterday It met the

reduction to Baltimore and that of 18cents to Philadelphia, and in addition madea 12J4-ce- nt rate to Pittsburg and Allegheny.This morning, at the meeting of the ChicagoCommittee ot the Central Traffic Association,the Pennsylvania gave further notice thatall the above rates would go into effectJuly 10, that the New York basis of 25cents would be cut to 20 cents, and that itwould take shipments from St Louis aswell as Chicago at these rates.

These rates apply only on wheat and corn,but the belief is prevalent among the mem-bers of the committee that the break willextend to all grain and flour. Especially isthis so because the Pennsylvania has notonly been so quick to meet, but likewise toextend the break.

Beklik, July 6. Prince Bismarck's let-

ters to the German Minister at Berne, pub--,

lished in the Seichsanze'jer on Thursday,have been the prelude to a general outcryby the semi-offici- al press, menacing theneutrality of Switzerland.

The Chancellor's intention in publishing; ;the letters which was at first supposed to bemerely for the purpose of justifylnghis atti-tude toward Switzerland, has now investedwith a serious meaning the letter in whichhfc says that if Switzerland continues to per-mit revolutionists to threaten the internalpeace and security of the German Empire)"1 vthe powers will be asked to consider Swissneutrality.

This is not an idle menace. An exchangeof communications has resulted in an identi-cal policy being adopted by the Austrianand Italian Governments to compel Switzer-land to comply with 4he demands of Bis-marck for a revision of the laws affectingrefugees. The appointment of a Aew Pro-curer General at Berne indicates a desire onthe part of the Bundesrath to amend'ihelaws in the direction of Prince Bismarck'sdesires.

A VICTOEY FOB BISMAECIC

The Chancellor is thus likely to accom-plish his immediate object Beyond thatthe dispatches lay a basis for 'future action.Some of the semi-offici- al papers discoverthat the existence of Switzerland isanomalous, even if the Anarchists, whomBismarck declares are unhindered in their-wor-

of disturbing Germany, were stampedout

For instance, an article appears in theBambqer Nachrichten serenely proving thatSwitzerland has no raison d'etre. It de-clares that in the event of certain Europeanchanges the German cantons ought to baabsorbed by (iermany and tne Italian can-tons by Italy.

The ideas concerning the matter aremeantime academic, but withal pregnantwith danger. advices from Berneshow tbat the Government is alive to thepossibilities of the situation. The Bundes-rath has concluded to negotiate a loan of20,000,000 marks to provide rifles for thearmy.

Apart from official circles, Ger ,man feeling leans toward Switzerland andis hopeful that nothinzwill disturb existing,sympathies. The-- Cologne Gazette statesthat4he Emperor, during his last journeyin Southern Germany, several times ex-pressed his respect and admiration for theSwiss, regret that the quarrel arose and hisconviction that the difference would be ar-ranged.

Catholics are convinced that Prince Bis--marck, having selected a diplomatic"bishop, is trying to induce tne Vatican toignore the Chapter's right to elect one.The congress at Munich is mainly in-tended to organize the South. The leadersof the Center party are alive to the factthat while the Catholics have a numericalmajority, in a number of districts the mfc..,nority holds the representation.
