SHADOWS.
A burst of golden sunshine,
A whispering of the leaves,
A music ripple on the brook.
A joy. a wonder in each nook;
A sweeping shadow o’er the land,
A Hushing or the tree tops,
A crimsoning of the lake,
A peaceful mildness in the air.
A thought of hidden mysteries there,
A glorious fading of the sun—
A summer's cay is done.
A joy in childhood's playthings,
A casting them aside;
A fl ash of golden youth hood’s hour.
When joy breaks through the passing shower;
A rustle-building in the air;
A cherished hope defeated;
A smile, a joy. a doubt,
A gleam r;fi-cted from the past;
A sign upon its bosom cast;
A mystery of a world unknown;
And then a soul has flown.

WASHINGTON.
Maliones Lack of Cash—Missing Witness
Spencer—Southern AI itig-Seekers The
Administration’s Holiday.
Washington, October 25.— That the cause of
Mahoneism in Virginia is in a bad way has been
evident for some time past, as has been chroni
cled duly in the News. In fact it looks as if
Mahone, like many other Republicans, is to
have that for which he has bargained, traded
and fought buried forever under a snow storm
of ballots. His day is to be brief according to
all indications, and the predictions of the poli
tical wise. There is something-tragical in such
an outlook. But Mahone evidently believes
also in comedy. His present efforts and his re
cently published letters to Jay Hubbell calling
for “money, and more money, or ail is lost,”
are really laughable. They have put Mahone
in the light of a ridiculous beggar, who never
earned a living for himself, and only
exists by the contributions of the charitably
inclined. It is a fact established beyond ques
tion. that If $35,C00 had not been given Mahone
in his last canvass of the Btate of Virginia,
that canvass would never have been succear
ful. This rear he gets no $35 000. He only
gets a small sum from Hubbell’s highway
sorties, and that being totally inadequate, ha
branches out into piteous appeals of “throw
me money or I drown.” He some time ago
levied five percent of salary upon the Virginia
office bothers in thi3 city, in addition to the
regular assessment paid by the same office
holders to Huhbell’s committee. He, now
finding himself in such a bad way, has just
levied another assessment upon those same un
fortunate Virginians, and this time includes
the women among them. In his circular
just Issued he does not request the payment of
this second assessment, but demands it. He
shows his nervousness and his comedy side.
He has lost, with Lis prospects of ruling Vir
ginia, all prest : ge. He comes and goes without
anybody taking the interest to point him out.
He is no longer the great Mahone that he was.
He is no longer a subject of notoriety. This
hurts his vain nature more than the solid pros
pects of his coming defeat.
A RENEWED DOUBT.
There has always been a doubt in the minds
of many as to the genuineness of the prosecu
tion in the star route cases. Many people, de
spite the apparent efforts of the government to
procure conviction of the star route thieves,
have held to the belief that nil such efforts
were simply for effect, and that the govern
ment was not at all anxious to convict. These
doubting Thomases po pt out ore instance to
show that they do not talk without reason. It
is a shamefully notorious fact that ex-fcenator
Spencer, of Alabama, a government director
or the Pacific railroads, still retains his place.
This, although he is a most important witness
in the star route cases, and has disobeyed and
evaded summons from the government to ap
pear in the trial here. The other day anew
director of Pacific railroads was appointed
to fill vacancies, but nothing was done
about the recalcitrant Spencer. Hence
the renewed howl of the doubt
ing Thomases. It is hinted, however,
by tne believers in the prosecution that the
reason fpeucer retains his official position un
disturbed is because he will appear for the
prosecution at the next trial of the star routers
He can give important testimony if he wants
to. Time will show whether the government
has good reason for retaining a man who
throws to the winds all regard for tho law of
the land.
BQCTHERN AMBASSADORS,
During his short visit to Washington the
President is being’ besieged by an army of
Southern politicians—of the stripe Republi
can—who give Into his ear many
reasons why he should di
rect Jay Hubbell to spend money
in certain Congressional districts in the South,
and wby he should throw the “ weight of the
administration ” to influence the politics of
those districts. The Pre.-ident has iis:ened to
these political Solons with more attention than
would have been thought, in view cf the fact
that he has generally heretofo e given them
the cold shoulder. But the prospect of losing
me next House has caused him to turn an ear
t<- the Southern Republicans, and lie has en
tered mto their ideas and assured them of his
support. He has also given them, in a number
of instances, letters to Hubbell’s committee.
These tney have but in rare instances re
ceived only words, as the corruption fund is
rather low just at present and nobody
seems to be willing to repleohh it. By the wav,
the President in his present visit to Washing
ton did not draw with him any great crowd of
people anxious to see him. He has not been
overwhelmed with visitors once. It must be
that the prospects of au overwhelming stal
wart aefeat this fall is already teaching the
rats to desert the sinking snip.
ABSENTEEISM.
A chronic growler has computed that Presi
dent Arthur and members or the present Cabi
net have been absent from Washington longer,
even so far In the administration, than any
other President and Cabinet in the history of
the government, including even ths
nomadic Grant, and n cursory con
sideration of the question will show
that the chronic growler is right. But the
country Deed not be alarmed. His absentee
ism has not been for pleasure’s bent, but for
political purposes. The administration and its
Cabinet have only been away from Washing
ton—for the most part—in laudable endeavors
to fix up decaying, political fences. Certainly
they can be spared from their official duties
for such noble work. Potomac.
SUWANNEE COUNTY, FLORIDA.
Political Prospects—lndependents
Actively at Work, Bat Democratic
Prospects Bright.
Siwavnej County, Fla., October “H —Editor
Morning Seres: Inasmuch as we have no organ
in our county friendly to the cause of Democ
racy, or in other words no straightout Demo
cratic paper through which we can communi
cate and receive intelligence from the various
prec : nct3 of the county, we beg space in tho
Stirs to say that the Democracy in this ceunty
is not in a muddle, as represented by the Bul
b-tin, but a unit, perfect harmony prevailing
throughout the county. Major Gallaher for
the Senate, and Messrs. A J. McLeod and R. F.
Allison for the Assembly, constitute the county
ticket, to which, at first, there was some ob
jection—the objectors being chiefly disappoint
ed aspirants. Major Gallaher has thoroughly
canvassed the county, presenting not only his
views, but the claims of the Democratic party
iu an able and persuasive manner to such an
extent that the opposition is entirely removed,
with the exception of a few sore beads.
1 am informed that the Bulletin, our county ,
paper, has suppressed several encouraging ’
communications from citizens of the various
precincts that were calculated to enthuse the
voters and encourage the candidates. Why
this is so I know not I can only suppose that
the paper Is friendly to the Independent ticket,
which is compose! of two whites and one ne
gro. I verily believe, from what I can learn
from friends, that the Democracy of Suwannee
will elect Gallaher and McLeod and Allison,
with Finley for Congress, by a majority of three
hundred, though the Independents and their
friends will do all they can for the notorious
Bis bee. G. W. S.

THE “FIXED" JURY.
REPORT ON THE AFFIDAVITS.
A Pretty Clear Jlob—Prosecution of the
Would-be Bribers Urged.
Washington, October 26.—Frank H. Fall
surrendered to Deputy Marshal Williams at
11 o’clock this morning. The warrant up
on which he was arrested was accompanied
by an affidavit sworn to by W. K. Brown,
of the star route jury, charging him with
endeavoring to corrupt—by influence—a
Juror. In his affidavit Brown says that Fall
offered and caueed to be offered to him the
eum of $2,500 in consideration of his vote as
a juror in the star route trial, tendering for
his signature a written agreement to that
effect. Foote and Shaw, for whom similar
warrants have been issued, are still at large.
The report of Mr. H. H. Wells, govern
ment coun tel in the star route jury bribery
cases, has been submitted to the Attorney
General. He says that the affidavits already
taken and now before him show, if they are
to be believed, that the members cf the jury
were offered bribes in money for their votes,
which they listened to and considered, and
these solicitations, it Is alleged, pro
ceed as well from agents of the govern
ment as from agents of the persons
on trial. But, he assumes, It can make no
difference whose agents made the disgrace
ful proposals, and that condign punishment
should fall upon all the guilty parties. This
report, therefore, proceeds without any par
ticular order of classification of the several
acts, except that its purpose la to present
the whole matter In a narrative form, and
as far as possible according to the order of
dates.
Mr. Wells specifies the first case of juror
Edwin D. Donophin and says: “There is
here presented such a clear and unequivo
cal case of a violation of the statute against
corruptly attempting to influence the action
of the jurcr as to leave no doubt of the
propriety of a criminal prosecution of the
person attempting to corrupt this juror, and
Mr. Wells recommends that Frederick E.
Shaw and all other persons who may be
found to have aided or abetted in the of
fense be immediately prosecuted on that
charge.
With regard to the attempt to bribe juror
Brown, the report says the entire transac
tion in the two affidavits to be submitted In
the case of W. K. BrowD, and especially
the sgreement suggests that the whole
thing was a device gotten up by somebody
with a corrupt purpose, not only to buy the
vole and make money thereby, but to
charge the bribery, if afterwards discovered,
upon the prosecution. It is apparent from
the whole history of the sl'eged attempt on
Brown’s virtue that it was not done with
the knowledge, In behalf of, or In the in
terest of the prosecution, that Its guilty
authors were neither the agents of or ac'ed
with the knowledge or approval of anv
officer of the Department of Justice. It
appears that every person who had made
false claims of authority, Including Fall and
Taylor, when charged 'therewith, admitted
the falsity thereof, and all the persons pres
ent at any conversations between the officers
of the department who employed them or
gave them their instructions, deny that any
such authority was ever given them.
The report recommends that Frank 11.
Fall, Arthur Payne, Thomas A. Foote, and
any other persons who aided or abetted in
that transaction, be jointly and severally
Indicted and tried under the laws and stat
utes applicable in 6uch cases.
In respect to Fall’s approaching Juror
Holmead, the reports will say that It Is
shown by the testimony that he had not the
consent of Brewster Cameron and the At
torney General; clthough there was
no attempt to brlbe.lt Is hard to believe that
the purpose was not an Improper one. In
this case the report makes no recommenda
tion.
PHILADELPHIA.
Third Day of the Hi-Centennial.
Philadelphia, October 26—To-day is
styled “Festival Day” In the group of Bi
centennial fetes. The day’s ceremonies
were inaugurated by a parade of Knights
Templar over the same route the previous
procession have covered. At the same hour
there was a bicycle review and
an archery contest In Falrmount Park,
and a Welsh muMcal festival In the Bi-
Centennial Music Hall. The crowd appeared
almost undiminlshed as the Templar parade
passed through the stress. The partici
pants, comprising commarderies from New
York, Washington, Providence, Pittsburg,
Richmond and other cities, numbered be
tween 6,000 and 7 OCO. They presented a
superb appearance In their showy regalia.
At 3 p. m. a concert of the united German
singers took place in Bi-Centennial Music
Hall, and at 4 p. m. a monument to the late
MortoD McMlcbael, one of Philadelphia’s
most distinguished citizens, was unveiled
and formally presented to the city by Hon.
Wayne MacVeagb, ex Uulted States Attor
ney General, in behalf of the subscribers.
A reception at the Academy of Music
this evening by the Philadelphia Knight
Commanderies to their friends and the vlsl
iug Temp ars will brilliantly close the day’s
events.
The 81-CenWnnial regatta, under the aus
pices of the Bchuylkill navy, was rowed
over the national course on the Schuy kill
river, one mile and a half straight away, this
afternoon, and was participated in by crews
from New York, Washington, Newark, N.
J.. and this city.
The first race, the four-oared shell race,
was the event of the day. The entries were
the Columbia crew of’ Washington, the
Oeecent of Philadelphia and the Falrmount
Association of Philadelphia. The Columbia
caught the wafer first and led the other
crews for the first mile, spurting within a
few yards of the finish and winning the race
by lour lengths in 9m. 295,, (he Crescent
second. ,
The final race, for eight-oared shells, be
tween the Columbia and the Metropolitan
crewp, was the finest, sight .witnessed on the
course this year. Both crews obtained a
good start, and made an even race fur the
first half mile.
At the mile point It was apparently a
dead heat, but the Co’.umbias spurted
beautifully, gaining an advantage that their
opponents could not overcome, winning the
race in 8 minutes 10 seconds,the best record
made by any amateur crew since 1879.

AMERICAN MISSIONARIES.
An Address by Dr. Haygood.
Cleveland, October 28.—At the evening
session of the American Missionary Asso
ciation yesterday addresses on the special
work of the association were made by Rev.
Dr, A. G. Haygood, of Georgia, General
Clinton B. Fisk, of New York, and Rev. Dr.
A, G. F. Behrend, of Rhode Island. Rev.
Dr. Haygood, speaking as a Southerner, said
he was glad of an opportunity to speak in
the city where lie the remains of Garfield,
the great leader of Christian educa
tion and the friend of the blacks in the
South. He spoke of the rapid Increase
of the freedmen since their emancipation
from slavery, stating that there weiefour
million at the end of the war, but now be
tween seven and eight million, increasing at
a per cent, greater than the whites. Dr.
Haygood said the North and South were be
ginning to understand each other better.
They would be divided only geographically
in the future. The church and the
schoolhou-e must come together in
the South on the plans adopted
by the American Missionary Association.
At this morning’s session of the associa
tion papers were read on “Texas Work” by
William E. Brooks, of Texas, on “Higher
Education” by Rev. E. M. Cravath, of Ten
nessee and “The New South” by Rev. Dr.
J. E. Roy, of Georgia.
During the forenoon a woman's mission
ary meeting was held In the chapel of Ply
mouth Church, at which papers were read
by Mrs. G. W. Andrews, of Talladega, Ala.,
and Miss Annie Cahill, of Nashville. To
night a mas 6 meeting will be held in the
Tabernacle, which will be addressed on the
subject of Southern education by ex-Presl
deni Hayes, President White, of Cornell
University, and Rev. J. L. M. Curry, of Vir
ginia.
YELLOW FEVER.
Thirty-seven New Cases bat No Deaths
at l’ensacola.
Penjacola, October 26.—Thirty-seven
new cases of yellow fever are reported to
day, but no deaths. This is the first day
6ince the 17th of September without any
mortality. The total cases to date are 2,133,
and the deaths 170. The vigorous economy
of the Board of Health causes much murmur
ing, as the pay of man nurses, varying from
f4 to $1 50 per day, is below their demands
and expectations, hut the limited resources
of the board and apprehensions of the
continuance of the epidemic make economy
imperative and causes much uneasiness to
the members of tbe board. The pay roll,
chiefly on account of nurses, amounts
to about $1,600 a week, besides
other expenses for beds, bedding, pro
visions, and sundry other items amounting
to about one thousand dollars a week addi
tional. It would be a great mistake to
Imagine that there is any diminishing in the
demands upon the generosity of the public.
The Italian bark Persevenza, from Cape
Town, arrived at the quarantine station yes
terday. Mr. SaUmareb,* superintendent of
the Pensacola division of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, who was ill at an early
stage of the epidemic, returned to his post
of duty yesterday,.

few cases of yellow fever were developed
here. Colonel Lyster, of the Nineteenth
Infantry, Is said to be sick with the fever at

thorough disinfection. The weather is hot.

Cincinnati. His story is not cred
ited, as he is in terror of
going back to Tennessee lest be be
mobbed. A valise belonging to the burg
lars has been found here in the hands of
their attorneys, containing a full set of
burglars’ tools, dynamitp, etc., and a copy
of a pap r containing an account of the
Ross murder. Officer Buchanan, of the

THE FRENCH TERRORISTS.
THE ANARCHISTS’ CONSPIRACY.
Important Discovery Destruction of
Property Threatened.
Paris, October 26. —The Paris publishes
details of the anarchist conspiracy. They
show that it is composed of a small number
of staunch supporters in all the towns
and manufacturing villages of France.
The members are mostly young
men, who distribute revolutionary pa
pers. Eich group has a distinctive name.
A letter, which was seized by the authori
ties, recommends that the groups should
pretend to be trades unions. Groups
in a department form a federation, some
having a secret symbol, and these federa
tions are the link between the groups and
the central committee.
Beveral of the persons arrested on Satur
day last belong to the federations. The
Central Committee Is composed of delegates
from each of the federations. It meets
monthly at Geneva. Letters ia Prince
Krapotktn’s handwriting show him to be a
member of the conspiracy. The disturb
ances in August in Montceau-les-Mines
were not ordered, as the cDfflraittee disap
proved them as premature. They were due
to the clericalism of the manager of a mine.
The dynamite found by the authorities
was manufactured at Bt. Saurire, Switzer
land. A succession of fires at, Amiens has
produced great uneasiness. Tbe action of
the government of suspending the trial of
the persons arrested in connection wiih the
riots at Montceau-les-Mines Is much criti
cised, but Is taken as a resolution to allow
the miecreants to enjoy immunity. Two
Republican newspapers at Lyons have been
warned that their offices will be blown np.
M. Floquet, Prefect of the Department of
the Seine, has resigned. It is stated that
the members of the Anarchist federation in
Paris and its suburbs alone number 1,229.
The Syndic of Lyons has received a letter
In which a threat is made to blow up his
house in that city..
PARLIAMENT.
Thanking the Army—The Egyptian Bill-
Cloture.
London, October 26. The House of
Commons was crowded this evening, Sir
Charles Dllke, Under Foreign Secretary, re
plying to Mr. Arnold, said a convention had
been concluded with Egypt for charging
the cost of the army of occupation on the
Egyptians.
In reply to Sir Robt. Burton (Conserva
tive) he said Soudan and upper Egypt were
undoubtedly disturbed, but tbe newspaper
reports were exaggerated. He also stated
that Great Britain had not been consulted
in regard to the appointment of Baker
Pasha, but the government did not object
to his appointment. He said the Khedive
was most anxious for the appointment of
Baker Pasha.
Mr. Gladstone, in moving a vote of thanks
to the commander, officers aDd men of the
British army in Egypt, said he would not
ask the House to commit itself to the gov
ernment’s policy. He said the Indian con
tingent was most worthy of the brotherhood
into which they had entered. It would
be the duty of the government
to propose suitable annuities for Admiral
Seymour and General Wolesley, who, he
raid, bad accepted peeraees. He spoke for
an hour and concluded with a peroration on
the confidence the country might repose in
its military forces.
The debate on the cloture question, ad
journed from last nlgbt. was resumed. The
House bv a vote of 202 to 144 rejected Sir
Henry DeWolff’s amendment—excluding
the Chairman when the House Is In commit
tee from the power which the rule pro
poses to confer on the Speaker.
In tbe House of Lords this afternoon,
Lord Granville, Foreign Secretary, moved a
vote of thanks to the British army in Egypt
similar to that moved by Mr, Gladstone in
the House of Commons.
Lord Salisbury seconded the motion, and
It was carried without a division.
Tbe Duke of Cambridge, on behalf of the
army, acknowledged the vote, and In flat
tering terms thanked Lord Granville and
Lord Salisbury for proposing and support
ing It.
The Hcuse then adjourned until Novem
ber 10th.
81r Stafford Nortbcote seconded the vote
of thanks, but reserved his opinion in regard
to the effect of the conquest of Egypt.
Sir Wilfred Lawson, amid cheers and
groans, moved the previous question, which,
according to the British parliamentary
usage, is (quivalent to a motion of indefinite
postponement.
Mr. Storey (Radical) seconded the mo
tion.
Tbe motion was rejected by a vote of 354
to 17, The Parnelli'.es voted with the mi
nority.
Mr. Malloy (Liberal) moved to amend the
vote of thanks by omitting the words
“stigmatizing Arabi Pasha’s movement as a
revolt.”
The amendment was rejected by a vote of
230 to 25, and the VYte of thanks was then
agreed to.
EGYPT.
The Cabinet and the Rebels—Arabi Pre
fers Exile—The Trouble in Soudan.
Cairo, October 26,—The Cabinet council
has been summoned for to day. The Khedive
will preside. It is believed that the main
point of discussion will be 4he advisability
of (topping further proceedings against the
rebels.
The Council of Ministers have decided to
instruct the Governor of Boudan to hold out
at Khartoum until assistance has ar ived.
It is stated that the False Prophet has reach
ed Kordofan. It has been decided to enlist
as many black troops as possible for service
against the False Prophet. Ismail Pasha
Eyeoub will be placed at the head of these
forces with Stone Pasha as second in com
mand.
London, October 26 —The Cairo corre
spondent of the Times telegraphs that
Arabi says he desires to quit Egypt as soon
as possible and will accept a sentence of
exile to aDy part of the British
dominions. He does not wish to
see Egypt again. He thinks Egypt
will shortly lose the Soudan, unless the
English army stops the False Prophet. The
correspondent believes that Sir Efward
Malet has Informed the government that no
Interference will be allowed with tbe sen
tence If Arabi Is proven directly guilty
either of abuse of .the white flag, Incendiar
ism or massacre.
The Foreign Office has received a telegram
from the British Consul at Suez, stating that
the corpses of Lieutenant Charricgton and
Captain Gill, of Professor Palmer’s party,
have been found and Identified. Nothing
certain is known in regard to the fate of
Professor Palmer. The Bedouins are very
hostile, and those compromised In this affair
threaten to attack Colonel Warren’s party.
MURDER IN WINNIPEG.
A Reputed Georgian the Slayer.
Winnepeg, October 26.— A man named
Archie McDonald, of Ratportage, was shot
through the heart in the Caledonia Hotel
late last night by one Robert D. Garvin,
said to be from the State of Georgia and
only three days in the city from the South,
where he was a locomotive engineer. The
tragedy was the result of a drunken quar
rel. The police took the murderer into cus
tody at once and lodged him In jail.
Golf and Ship Island Railroad.
Washington, October 26.—The Secretary
of the Interior has decided the matter of
the application of Mr. Wirt Adams, Presi
dent of the Gulf and Ship Island Ratlroad
in Mississippi, to have even sections of pub
lic lands granted to that road by the act of
August 11th, 1856, withdrawn from settle
ment by refusing to allow the application.
This grant was made to the road in 1856,
conditional upon Its completion within ten
years. Tbls condition was not complied
with. Up to the beginning of the war no
plan of definite location had been filed with
the local land office as was required
by law. In 1879 tbe land was thrown open
to pre-emption, and no prptest was filed up
to the date of Mr. Adam’s letter In July laxt.
In his decision, tbe Secretary says that two
bills are pending before Congress, one pro
viding for the cancellation of the grant, and
the other for a regrant of the land to the
railroad company- Under these circum
stances he therefore decided not to enter
tain Mr. Adams’ application.

THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL
CONGRESS.
Discussing the Relations of the Church to
the Colored Race.
Richmond, Va., October 26. -In the Pro
teetant Episcopal Congress last bight, Rev.
W. B. Howe, D. D., Bishop, In speaking on
the subject of the relations of the church
to the colored race, said the method must
be purely missionary for a century or two.
They should be entitled to seats in the dio
cese and bodies, and they should be con
sidered as members of tbe same body until
the two races should be united under one
Bishop. General sympathy on the part of
the whites, and becoming modesty on the
part of the blacks, would unite the two races.
As to tbe qualification of colored candi
dates for tbe deaconate and priesthood, he
sa'd the difficulties could be met by recog
nizing In the canon the differences recog
nized in nature. He advocated a theologi
cal department in some institution near the
field of their labors.
Rev. J. E. C. Smedes, of Raleigh, N. C.,
in bis paper, gave at length statistics of the
work done among the colored race by other
religious denominations, and contrasted
therewith the little work that the Episcopal
Church is doing among them. The contrast
was mortifying, and it should stimulate our
efforts to better results.
The next paper was by Rev. Henry Dun
lop, of Savannah, who spoke on the lela
tions between Christians and the colored
race, all of whom prayed to one Father.
The first speaker was Rev. J. L Tucker,
D. D., qf Jackson, Mississippi. He said the
selection of the topic was an evidence that
there Is a dlljerence between the relation of
the church to the colored man and the re
lation of the church to the white race.
After stating, that the negroes were
brought to this country absolute barba
rians the speaker charged them with lDnate
want of honesty, truthfulness and virtue,
and said all attempts on the part of their
masters and others to instil better principles
developed tbe vilest hypocrisy.
Rev. J. T. Hanckei, of Virginia, con
tended that the church stands in her rela
tion to the colored race as to every other
race. He advocated a separate diocesan
organization for the colored people.
Dr. Hopkins, of Pennsylvania, compared
all prior efforts to bring the African up to
the level of the Episcopal Church service
to pouring hot mutton gravy into a cold
dish. The negroes mistook emotion for re
ligion, and after shouting and feeling warm
and good he takes that to be piety, and then
dees not care how manv roosts he robs.
Mr. Shackelford, of Virginia, also defend
ed the character of the negroes, and con
tended that In the matter of gratitude and
justice they were often in advance of the
whites, and were generally true in all rela
tions in life, as far as they had the oppor
tunity of learning right from wrong.
Dr. Lyle, of Philadelphia, favored mis
sionary work among negroes.
Rev. C. C. Tiffany, of New York, con
tended that the Episcopal Church was es
pecially fitted for the colored people.
Bishop Dudley, of Kentucky, thought
injustice had been done to the colored race
by the gentlemen who had preceded him.
He said that the negro must be brought into
our bodies and welcomed. He, as a South
ern man, was willing to sit with him, be he
as black as he may, if he is the right sort of
a clergyman or layman.
The Congress adjourned at 11:30 p.m.
In the Episcopal Church Congress
to-day the topic of the powers of
standing- committees was discussed,
the writers being Rev. Hall Harri
son, of Baltimore, and Hon. H. W. Sheffev,
of Staunton, and the speakers Randolph
Barton, of Baltimore, Bishop Dudley, of
Kentucky, Rev. F. Courtney, of Massa
chusetts, Dr. Hopkins, of New
York, Hon. E McCready, of South Carolina,
Rev. Dr. Walker, of Virginia, and
Rev. Dr. J. E. Grammer, of Baltimore. The
topic to-night was “The Inspiration of the
Scriptures,” the writers being Rev. Charles
H. Hall, D. D , of Brooklyn, Rev. Frederick
K. Gardiner, D. D., of Middleton, Connec
ticut, Rev. A. M. Randolph, D. D., of Bal
timore, and the speakers, William R. Abbott,
of Virginia, Rev. James Haughton, of Yon
kers, New York, and Rev. Jos. H. Kdlauce,
D. D , of New York city.

THE FAR FAMED JERSEY LILY.
Mrs. Langtry at I.ast-How She Looks
and Acts-Wallack in Bad Luck Again
—The Passion Play—lts Author’s Ca
reer—What Shoddy Squanders.
Naw 1 ork, October 25.—Mrs. Langtry is here
at last. Her arrival was the sensation of the
week, and at the club; and wherever men get
together she is the sole topic of conversation.
Women, too. are talking about the famous
beauty, wondering if she can be so very beauti
ful after all. and, I dare say, secretly hoping
that the popular verdict ia this country will be
unfavorable. If women do not like other
women to be more beautiful than themselves,
or to wear better dresses, who can blame
them? Well, she made a vivid impression
on the newspaper reporters, and cor
respondents and reporters who met her on the
steamer. Vet they did not all see her with the
same eyes, for, according to their stories, she
must have undergone a change of dress seve
ral times while she was chatting with them
and entrancing them with her luminous eyes.
AH who have so far met her have remarked her
affability and external gracefulness of manner.
When she was surrounded by a fierce crowd of
men thirsting for news and attemping to drink
in her beauty, she blushed, to be sure—for she
still retains her modesty—but beamed upon
them with extreme good nature. She was
driven in a carriage to the Albemarle,
where she is occupying the same suite of
rooms which were used by Sarah Bernhardt
while she was playing her engagement here
two years ago. I saw her in the evening. She
wore a garnet plush dress, cut high in the neck
and with tight-fitting sleeves. The color was
garnet, I say. although I had been told a few
moments before that it was purple. How men
differ about such things! I cannot describe
her beauty. That she is beautiful no one can
disDute; but it is of the English type, which is
different from ours and for which reason some
people may be disappointed. What strikes you
first of all is her complexion, which is wonder
fully clear. There i9 a suggestion of red in
her cheeks which ia too diffusive and
delicate to be paint, yet she paints when on
the stage, and, sad to relate, her complexion
is suffering iojury from it. She struck me as
being solemn looking when her face was in
repose, but when engaged in conversation her
face lit up wonderfully. Many have spoken of
her charming manner. That she is affable and
has a winning manner cannot be gainsaid by
the most jealous woman, and if she did men
would not believe her. On the evening of her
arrival she went to see John T Raymond as
Colonel Sellers at the Park Theatre, She drove
in a closed carriage in company with
Manager Abbey, Mrs. Labouchere and a
little man with a bristly moustache and a bald
head. Who the little man was I have made a
frantic effort to discover, but so far I have
failed. The party went in at the stage en
trance and took seats in the lower left hand
box. Mrs. Labouchere, who is short and in
clined to stoutness, was very conspicuous. Not
so with Mrs. Langtry. She was too discreet,
as her manager thought of it and cautioned
her not to cheapen herself by allowing people
to see her. and so all that was visible of her
was one arm. It some of the spectators do
not understand the anatomy of Mrs Langtry’s
right arm, it is not because they did not stare
at it hard enough, and for a loog
enough period of time. A crowd of young
bloods were in one corner back of the last row
of seats, struggling to get a glimpse of her
through tbeir glasses They were unsuccess
ful, and gave vent to their impatience in words
that do not look well even when quoted. Mrs.
Langtry seemed to eDjoy the play very much.
I reached this conclusion by watching the
movements of her right arm, which she raised
frequently to clap a handkerchief on her
mouth and smotker her laughter. Just before
the last act she weDt, behind the scenes and
was introduced to'Crlonol Sellers ” At the
close of the performance she left the theatre
by the stage door leaning on her manager’s
arm. A great crowd stood on the side
walk craning their necks to catch a glimpse of
her. She did not seem to regard them, but
stepped into her carriage with tbe grace of a
queen. A crowd lingered at tbe front
of the theatre expec'ing the famous
beauty to make her exit there long
after she had been whirled away to her hotel.
She will visit some of the other theatres dur
ing this week, and will attend rehearsals Friday
and Saturday in preparation for her appear
ance on Monday. She is quite nervous over
making her how to an American public. If
she is only able to please, she says she will be
delighted. 8o will we be.
Lester Wallack seems to be suffering one
misfortune after another. His present trouble
is that his leading man—Herbert, an English
actor—has proved a failure. This did not sur
prise many as the new actor was engaged by
Mr. Wa’lack’s son Arthur, who, like the own

Arthur is a prig. He would go on the stage if
his papa would let him, which he does not do
because he knows that he would destroy the
Wallackian traditions Why he should have
been trusted wiih such an important mission
as going to England for a leadine man is a
mystery to me. The trouble Mr. Wallack had
at the beginning of tbe season with melodrama
was egomzing. and now this has come on top
of it. It is 8-iid that negotiations are in pro

Mr. Tearle should come bßck, the ladies who
go to Wallack’s would be happy, I know. They

Tearle is.
The excitement over the “Passion Play” two
Sears ago is about to be repeated. Salmi
lorse, the author, has arrangements under
wav for producing it during Christmas week.
It is his intention to give it under kis own
direction and to show as much deference to
public opinion as he can. When Mr. Abbey
was making preparations to give a representa
tion of tbe "Passion Play” at Booth’s Theatre,
two years ago, a great clamor was raised
against it. James O’Neill, the' actor, was to
play tbe principal part, as he did in California.
Although he is a devout Catholic, people said
it would be an outrage for an actor to imper
sonate the Saviour. Another objection was
that such a sacred subject should be presented
in a theatre in which the wicked and uncon
ventional Bernhardt was at that time playing.
Mr. Abbey had gone so far as to have his
scenery painted and his costumes made, but
he was forced to yield to public opinion The
author is going to remove these objections by
giving his performances iu a building txoress
)y prepared for the purpose, and by
having all of the parts taken by
amateurs But he will find much oppos'tion
to the undertaking notwithstanding the?e
charges in the conditions. He says that no
amount of public clamor will prevent him
from presenting the Passion on the stage, but
that if it is condemned by intelligent people
after it has been performed he will withdraw it.
The author and the play have had a curious
history. Mr Morse formerly engaged in liter
ary pursuits in England, and for many years
assisted Charles Dickens iu his work. His re
lations with the novelist were very confiden
tial. One of his duties was to go into other
countries in search of information for
the author’s use. He became interested
in the Passion as represented in Italy,
Germany and Spain, and spent several years
in Jerusalem in order to write a poem on the
subject of the life and death of Christ. Some
friends, who beard the poem read in Ban Fran
cisco, insisted that the poem was dramatic in
subject and form, and should be presented on
the stage. It was revised by an Archbishop at
San Francisco and performed there for five
weeks. At the end of that time James O’Neill
had to give up tbe part to fulfill an engage
ment. and the author would not consent to a
change of actors, and withdrew the play. The
character was too sacred, he said, to be treated
as a theatrical part. It was subsequently pro
duced by another man and enjoined by an or
dinance. Then followed the efforts of
Manager Abbey to bring out the play
in New York. The secret history of the present
undertaking reveals the fact that the author
has been encouraged to produce his play by
Roman Catholics and Ep.scopalLns. who be
lieve that it will be beneficial to the public,
from an educational and moral point of view. It
is asserted that clergvmen prominent in the
Methodist Book Concern offered to assist
in the enterprise if It should be made a mis
sionary work and only a very small admission
fee charged. I can’t vouch for the truth of
this statement, although it was made to me by
Mr. Morse’s chief associate. It is very likely,
Indeed, that Roman Catholics will find little
in the presentation to criticise, their
education beine In the direction otapectacular
shows. The theatre In which the "Passion”
will be represented will be used for this piece
and plays of a kindred character. The deco
rations will be subdued in tone. Some modifi
cations hive been made in the plav so that it
will end with the condemnation of Christ by
Pontius.Pilate, and not with his crucifixion. As
the author says it is designed to present Christ
as the man aod not Christ as tbe God.
The new play at the Madison Square Theatre

There never was greater extravagance in
living among the rich than just now. A man
may not be a railroad king and yet have his
household expenses amount to several thou
sand dollars a week. It is the proper thine
among society people to keep a great retinue
of servants, some families having twenty or
more servants, half of whom are men A few
years ago a family took pride in having one or
two men servants, but now the best establish*
ments have two or three ooachmen as
many groomsmen and footmen, a But
tons to open the door and men
cooks and waiters. When they ride out you
sometimes see three straight-backed fellows in
corduroy trousers and top boots in a carriage.
It was not so many years ago. when a single
groom'on a carriage attracted attention. A soci

cook, and if he can’t get one here to suit him
he sends to France for one. If you go to one
of these houses and show a distate for French
cooking you lose caste, and so you are com
pelled to swallow all manner of strange dishes
with apparent relish, and smile and

in more of late than ever, is that of
kf eplng dogs. The man of the house may
have a hound or a pointer, which he takes with
him when he goes into the country, but this is
by no means a custom. But there ia hardly a

some kind, and where there are young ladies
they have them too, so that a visitor on enter-

Political Views of the Cabinet-Secretary
Folger’g Letter—Virginia the Hope of
the Party.
Washington Social to Baltimore Sun.
The story has been circulated that on the
occasion of the recent visit of the President
to Boston, he intima ed an Interest in the
election of General Butler as Governor of
Massachusetts. The President says there Is
no truth in this, and, on the contrary, that
he has fully as much concern in the election
of a Republican Governor for Massachusetts
as In his own State of New York. The per
sonal relations of the President with Gen.
Butler are of the most friendly character,
but he Is not yet ready to go with General
Butler to the Democratic party.
In the Informal discussions on the politi
cal situation between the President and the
members of|>he Cabinet on Friday and again
on last night, the anticipations as to what
the Ides of November will bring forth were
not of the most cheering character. It is a
significant and unmistakable fact that Re
publican losses are expected by every mem
ber of the Cabinet in his own State,with the
possible exception of Secretary Frelinghuy
sen, and this for the reason that the Repub
licans never expect much In New Jersey any
way. Even that most adroit politician,
Secretary Chandler, views the handwrit
ing on the wail with evident apprehen
sion, and bad ho good news to communi
cate to the President and the Cabinet. It is
given out as the official determination of
the President and Cabinet that government
employes must consider themselves as en
tirely free, If so disposed, to decline any
more contributions to campaign funds. It
must be that this decision was arrived at
because the President and hfs Cabinet are
at last convinced that this Is one of the
years when money cannot stem the over
whelming tide of public opinion. It Is not
more than two weeks since an intimate
friend of Secretary Folger declared that
they would buy enough votes to elect him
Governor of New York.
It Is hinted that the President 1b very
much chagrined at the Albany letter of Mr.
Folger, which, although it is saying a good
deal, is a much more foolish production
than his letter of acceptance. The tone of
this letter has already been condemned by
almost every Republican journal of promi-
nence In the Btate of New York. Avery
cursory reading between the lines is enough
to convince anyone that Mr. Folger is ready
to use hi* vast power as Secretary of the
Treasury to depress the stock market in
order to further his own election. It 13
understood the President Is also inclined to
the belief that the manner. of conducting
the investigation of the star
route bribery charges Is not
meeting the approval of the country or help
ing the Republican cause. These charges
were made weeks since, and yet the Attor
ney General did not put in an appearance
here until yesterday, and the control of the
Investigation has been put In the hands of
one of the parties implicated, who holds no
higher position than a detective in the de
partment, but who has the assurance to
style himself “general manager,” an office
entirely unknown to the law. The President
says he will leave again for New York in a
day or two, but it would be better for the
credit of his administration and better for
the Republican party if he would first
straighten out matters a little in Washing
ton. &
There was a great deal of public business
awaiting his attention yesterday, but Mr.
Mahooe was on hand, early and importu
nate, and public business bad to wait while
he appealed for an exception in his favor in
the matter of grinding more assessments
out of the poverty stricken clerks, already
bled to the last point of existence, and for
the privilege of turning out of office those
who believed him to be sincere in announc
ing “freedom of opinion” as one of the
principles of hi* party, and have ventured
to differ with him. The only ray of hope in
the whole political horizon is in the direc
tion of \ frgicia, as Mr. Mahone continues
to promise wlih the utmost confidence to
deliver to the administration for value re
ceived six or seven Congressmen. Bhouid
he be able to fulfill his promise, his contin
gent, purchased at the price of all that is
good and true in politics and morals, would
be of no avail against tbe solid Democratic
majority that is likely to confront It.

THE STAR ROUTE CONSPIRACY
Has Secretary Teller Gene West to Induce
Ex Secretary Spencer to Testify ?
A Washington tpacial says: “Attorney
General Brewster has not yet examined the
voluminous report upon the attempted
bribery of members of the star route jury,
and seems in no haste to do so. It is said
that it will be a good day’s work to read the
document carefully. This has led “ an
opinion quite generally held that it will be
withheld until after Tuesday’s Cabinet meet
in r, although, being strictly a department
matter, it does not appear that its discussion
by an unprepired and Incomplete Cabi
net, at an hoar’s session, can add much
to its Importance or construction. The
argument put out by the department for the
singularly deliberate manner in which the
Investigation has been conducted belittles
Ingersoll’s effort of the other day by taking
the lofty ground that the department will
not rush into newspaper controversy, and
that what it will say will stand upon its
merits, and be independent alike of what
has preceded and of what may follow.
There is reason to believe, however, that the
Attorney General appreciates that the de
partment Is in a sense on trial and that the
delay in issuing the report may be accounted
for by bis desire that it may go out flawless,
thus serving the double purpose of refuting
Ingersoll’s production and exonerating the
department from the shadow of suspicion
of responsibility for the conduct of Its sub
ordinates. It bas leaked out that Secretary
Teller’s trip to Colorado, which was an
nounced with needless frequency for a week
grevions to his departure on Friday, will
ave something besides pleasure for its pur
pose. Recent publications in the World
and elsewhere with regard to the flight of
ex Senator Spencer when he was wanted
as a government witness seem to have
ronsed the administration to a sense of the
importance of counteracting the opinion
that Spencer’s fight was acquiesced in if not
advised by the President, who is believed to
have promised Spencer that bis office on
the Pacific Railroad Commission would not
be endangered by his putting himself where
he could not bo made to testify against the
conspirators. One inference commonly
drawn from this circumstance, among
others, was that the administration wished
to save Brady and Dorsey. This, it must be
said, is getting to be the belief here, and
apprehending that It may soon be believed
throughout the country, it has become
desirable that Spencer should declare
himself in such a way as to lift
the threatening cloud of suspicion. Mr.
Teller’s mission is supposed to encom
pass (this purpose pnd a card from Mr.
Bpencer, assuming personal responsibility
for bis flight and attempting a plausible
explanation of it, may accordingly be look
ed for shortly. Speculation does not yet
deal with what hla card may say, but there
seems to be no doubt that if the President
feels that he la likely to be compromised by
further approval of Spencer’s course, he
will not hesitate between a blight upon
himself and whatever consequences Spen
cer’s testimony may entail upon the con
spirators. It need surprise no one, there
fore, should Spencer declare his willingness
to respond at any time to a summons, ex
cusing bis flight, If at all, upon the conve
nient plea, perhaps, of business engage
ments, and possibly of unimportant infor
mation. He will hardly plead the true ex
planation of his personal friendship and the
President's good will towards the conspira
tors.”

FEARFUL PERIL.
The 1 Cab of an Engine Running Thirty
live Miles an Hour Takes Fire.
A New York special to the Chicago Trib
une says: “ When the train on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad from Jersey City Sunday
afternoon, comprising ten passenger
coaches, with fully six hundred people
aboard, mnning thirty-five miles an hour,
reached the Bergen cut, there sudden);
came through the port door of the smoking
car, which was next to the engine, a pull of
smoke. This was fallowed by a dense
volume of smoke and a tongue of
flame. The passengers who were
seated sprang up in alarm, and
those who stood near the front door
shrank back as the smoke and flame In
creased. One man grasped tbe door and
slammed it shut. The next instant it was
dashed open again, and two men threw
themselves Into the cab. Oae of these was
Sieg, the engineer, and the other was the
fireman. Through the blinding smoke that
poured directly over the Iron tender the pas
sengers could see that the cab of the engine
was in flames, while the open door bf,the
engine furnace was a mass of- fire. The
smoking-car passengers were ' filled with
consternation. Those nearest the .rear door
crowded out upon the pla'fotm, only to
meet another excited crowd issuing from the
front door of the second car, the passengers
of which had by this time become alarmed
by the commotion and the illumlnarion
from tbe blezlDg cab. Tbe other pasen
gers raised the windows and looked out,
only to see that the train was d*shlug along
at a great speed, and that It would be fatal
to jump. The engine was now without con
trol, and Engineer Sleg, looklsg back at hfs
engine, at once reabzed that upon Mm de
pended the lives of six hundred passengers.
An effort Was made to stop the train by tbe
cord connecting tbe air-brake. This would
not do. The engineer then turned his face
to the engine, and, setting his teeth to
gether, he sprang through the door and
climbed upon the tender. Then he disap
peared In the fl lines beyond. Same of the
passengers began thinklrg of dropping out
of the car windows into ihe Hacken
sack river when the train should
reach the bridge. Suddenly, however, It
cime to a halt. The passengers nearest the
engine now saw the head and shoulders of a
man appearing above the water tank on the
tender. Several men sprang on tbe tender
and drew him oqt. It was Engineer Sieg.
He was weak and half unconscious The
clothes were completely burned from him,
his face was disfigured, and his hands were
shockingly burned. His body was blistered
so badly that some of the flesh was stripped
off in moving him. The fire Is said to have
been caused by flames from the open fur
nace door communicating with the wood
work of the cab. Favored by the rush of
wind, they soon enveloped the cab In fire,
forcing the engineer and his assistant from
tbe'r posts.”
A New Temperance Movement in
Ohio.
The temperance fight that has been going
on in lowa this year, and is now being ear
ned into Kansas, seems almost Inevitable in
Ohio next summer and fall. A large and
powerful organization, possessing a strong
backing and non-polltlcal In Its character,
has outlined a programme and Is already
putting It Into * fleet.. It cannot help pro
ducing marked results In the present condi
tion of affairs in Ohio. It Is the Women s
Christian Temperance Union of Ohio—a
body that grew out of the great temperance
crusade, but that has settled down to prac
tical business methods entirely foreign to
that spasmodic and short lived movement.
This union has its headquarters in Cleve
land, has two hundred and sixty minor
unions under Its jurisdiction, and a mem
bership of many thousands. Its officers are
practical and clear-headed women, sed its
advisers and contributors are amoDg the
wealthiest and best men of the State. It
has the promise of all the funds needed for
lecturers, printing and contingent expenses,
and its methods of work are to be practical,
thorough and common sense. The cam
paign It will make Is to be direct and plain
in speech and appeal, and divorced abso
lutely from the mere sentimentality that has
marred so msny temperance movements. It
Is to be conducted Independently of the
Prohibition party as a political body, and
Its work is to be done among the people,
irrespective of parties, religions or nation
alities.
