REPUBLICS ALLTHE RAGE
AUSTRALIA AND CANADA WANT
TO SHAKE OFF MONARCHY.
A Visitor From the Coming Nation of
the Pacific Telia of the Feeling in
the Australian States and Predicts
a Change Within Two Years—Cana
da’s Talii Started by the Break Made
in Brazil.
Chicago, Nov. 21. —Albert Boulton of
Albury Australia, is in this city. To a re
porter, he said: “The project of consolidat
ing the Australian continent into one
powerful state is slowly, but surely gaining
ground. Within two years a definite plan
for founding anew nation will be for
warded to the colonial office for the in
dorsement of the crown. Before long and
without tjhe slightest commotion in Eng
land or Australia, the mother country will
see this great group of her colonies pass into
the new nation of the United States
of Australia. Like your coun
try, Australia will be practically
free from invasion. Her people Lave
already shown a desire to be supreme in the
Pacific, which cannot be gratified unless
her government possesses the means of
ruling dependencies not admitted to prac
tical equality. New Gaines alone is a king
dom in area, and rightfully belongs to
Australia. As an independent republic
Australia will be a mighty maritime power.
She is to settle and govern the only valu
able possession which Europe has left for
the next conquering power.’’
CANADA A REPUBLIC.
New York, Nov. 21.—A Montreal spe
cial says: “Apropos of Brazil quite a num
ber of F; ench papers, including La Patrie,
Le Lecteur Canadien, and Le Ven
ement, deciare this morning
in favor of a Canadian republic.
The Herald of this city, the chief organ of
thodominion opposition, says that the En
glish people are slow to make constitution
al changes, but adds that it is unsafe to say
what force of example and increasing inter
c urse of Great Britain and America, backed
by fu: ther blackguardism of persons in high
position, might not do. It would, of course,
mako no difference whatever to Canada
were the English monarchy to give place to
a republic beyond the impetus that such a
change might give to the train of thought
that leads the thinker to the conclusion
that it is nearly time Canada busied herself
about her own independence. Australia,
which is a baby among nations, is already
considering the propriety of establishing an
Australian nation.”

ROW OF THE BALL PLAYERS.
The League’s Address Lays the Blame
on the Brotherhood Men.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 21.—The com
mittee appointed at the recent annual meet
ing of the National League of professional
base ball dubs to prepare an address to
the public defining the position of that
organization in the present base ball con
troversy, completed its labors to-day. The
committee consisted of A. G. Spalding of
Chicago, John B. Day of New York,
and John L Rogers of Philadel
phia. After giving a history of
the league since its organization, they say:
“To correct misapprehension in the public
mind as to the alleged ‘enormous profits’
divided among the stockholders of the
league clubs, it may be interesting
to know that during the past five,
and the only prosperous years, there have
been paid in cash dividends to the stock
holders in the eight league clubs less
than $150,000, and, during the same time,
the league players have received in salaries
over 81,500,000. The balance of the profits
of the few successful clubs, t< gether with
the original capital and subsequent assess
ments of the stockholders, is represented
entirely in grounds and Improvements for
the permanent good of the game, costing
$600,000.
THE REFUSAL TO CONFER.
“The refusal of the brotherhood commit
tee to meet the league in conference at the
close of the season, proves incontestably
that the imperative demand for a confer
ence in mid-summer to redress grievances
that have never yet materialized was a
mere pretext. They knew there was
no urgency for consideration of their
claims, and knowing that the league could
not, without sacrifice of time, money and
other conflicting interests, convene its clubs
in mid-summer, and am icipating and de
siring the refusal to cover the conspiracy,
which it now appears was then hatching,
they started the organization of a rival as
sociation, while receiving the most liberal
salaries from their employers.
FALSE PROMISES.
“Under false promises to their brother
players that the;' would only sec ide in the
event of the league refusing them justice,
they secured the signatures of the latter to
a secret pledge or oath to desert their clubs
at the bidding of their disaffected leaders.
Upon tho publication of their plot, Sept. 7,
1889, they and their abettors denied,
day after day, that there was any
foundation for the story, and repeatedly
plighted their words that the league should
have a chance to redress their alleged
grievances before they would order a
‘strike.’ How false their promises and
pledges, how evasive, contradictory and
mendacious have been their every act and
deed, from first to last, we leave to the
renders of the daily and weekly press for
verification.”
RERATED PENSION CASES.
Secretary Noble Decides on a Vigor
ous Policy.
Washington, Nov. 21.—Secretary Noble
has had under consideration for some time
past the question of rerated pension cases,
and more especially cases of employes of the
pension bureau. While final action has not
been taken, it is understood that a decision
has been reached that such of the employes
as were instrumental in having their cases
reratsd and inc. eased in violation of the
law as interpreted by the interior depart
ment officials will be dismissed from
the service, and the money so obtained be
recovered, if necessary, by legal process.
What action the secretary may take in the
cases of such employes as were not instru
mental m procuring an increase for them
selves, ami who refund the amounts re
ceived, has not, it is understood, been
definitely determined upon.
A VIGOROUS POLICY.
It is stated, however, that the secretary
has decided upon a vigorous policy in deal
ing with all the re-rated cases, but will be
very careful to do no injustice to any one.
It is said that two or more dismissals will
be made to-morrow. The Secretary of the
Interior has requested and received the
resignation of H. A. Phillips, chief of the
middle division in the pension office. Mr.
Phillips is one of the rerated pensioners
whoso cases were recently overhauled by
the secretary.
ENGLISH COTTON GRADERB.
Their Possible Amenability to the
Contract Labor Law.
Washington, Nov. 21.—The United
States district attorney at Norfolk, Va.,
was to-day instructed to bring suits against
certain English cotton brokers for violation
of the alien contract labor law, provided he
is satisfied such suits can be maintained.
These suits are to determine the legality of
the practice of certain English cotton brok
ers of employing in the states, particularly
Virginia, clerks or graders, whose business
it is to classify cotton for the Englisn mar
kets. These men aro especially trained for
this business, and are sent to this country
from England.
DRANK PARI3 GREEN AND DIED.
An Insane Mother Forces Her Daugh
ter to Commit Suicide with Her.
Mosherville, Mich., Nov. 21.—A
ghastly affair occurred la9t night. During
the absence of her husband, Mrs. Nathan
Strang filled two tumblers with a solution
of paris green, and handing one to her
daughter, Maud, a handsome girl of 18, and
taking the other herself, she drank her own
dose and forced the girl, at tho muzzle of a
revolver, to swallow the fatal draught. On
her husband’s return she told him wuat she
had done. A doctor was summoned, but
his efforts were of no avail. Mrs. Strang
died at midnight in horrible agony and
Maud an hour later. Maud insisted to the
last that her mother forced her to drink the
poison, and said she did not want to die.
She begged piteously of her friends to save
her life. The Strangs were much respected.
The insanity which led to the awful act has
been clearly marked for about two weeks.
FIRE ON THE TENTH FLOOR.
The Western Union Building at New
Yoric the Scene of a Blaze.
New York, Nov. 21.—Fire broke out in
the tenth story of the Western Union build
ing at 4 o’clock this morning. All the As
sociated Press wires were shut off except
tbe western circuit. Tho floor on which
the fire broke out was filled with Western
Union records and old dispatohes, etc. The
firemen had considerable difficulty in getting
hose up to the burning floor, but after they
succeeded it took only a short time to got
the flames under control. There wai little
or no excitement, except among the women
and girls employed ia the restaurant, who
were asleep on the eleventh floor. The
damage to the building is $5,000 end to the
stock SI,OOO.

RECOGNITION OF BRAZIL.
AN ISBUH OP DIPLOMACY IN THE
i PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
The Question Bprung by a Resolution
by Delegate Henderson Welcoming:
the New Acquisition to the Galaxy
of Republics—The Congress Lays the
Proposition on the Table.
Washington, Nov. 21.—Secretary Blaine
called the international American confer
ence to order this afternoon, but imme
diately relinquished the chair to Dr. Guz
man, a delegate from Nicaragua While
the minutes were being read Senor Valente,
the Brazilian minister, and Senor Mendonca,
second delegate from Brazil, appeared in
the conference room and took seats near to,
but not at the table.
The report of the committee on rules was
the unfinished business, and its considera
tion was immediately entered upon. The
first rule fixed the hours of meeting of the
conference at between 2 and 5 o’clock Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Delegate Coolidge (United States) pro
posed an amendment fixing the days of
meeting as Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays.
Delegate Quintana (Argentine) objected,
and favored the original rule, as it would
afford time for the preparation of the rec
ord of the proceedings.
Delegate Silva (Colombia) thought that
as a matter of courtesy to the United States
delegates their wishes should bo respected
in this matter.
RE-ENTRY OF THE BRAZILIANS.
At this point, the subject was laid aside
temporarily, and after the appointment of
Henry Daubur, secretary to the delegate
from Uruguay, as interpreter, Dr. Valente,
the Brazilian minister, rose, and said that
the Brazilian delegates had been prevented
from occupying their seats at the preced
ing sessions for reasons which must have
been apparent to the other delegaies. They
were now, however, to lay before tho
president their credentials, that they
m igkt be acted upon in due course. [Ap
plause.]
A RESOLUTION OF RECOGNITION.
Delegate Henderson (United States)
offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That this congress welcomes the
United States of Brazil into the sisterhood of
American republics.
Delegate Horlado of Colombia said that
this might be construed os recognition of
the new government, and it was not proper
for the delegates to do this in the absence
of instructions from thsir own govern
ments, and especially as there was no
official notice of the change. Therefore, he
moved that the resolutio t be tabled.
Delegates Castellas (Salvador) and Nin
(Uruguay) supported Senor Hurtado’s mo
tion.
Delegates Romero (Mexico) and Carnegie
(United States) seconded the motion to
table, as it was apparent that tho resolution
could not be adopted unanimously.
Mr. Henderson said tie had offered the
resolution without consultation, thinking
that the Brazilian representatives had au
thority to come to this conference.
Dr. Valente (Brazil) —And they have.
[Applause.]
HENDERSON GETS OFF A SPEECH.
Delegate Henderson—Then that com
pletes the circle of American republics.
Continuing, he said that he was sorry to
place any of tho representatives of the other
governments in an awkward position, but
so far as he was concerned he should
hail with equal pleasure an announcement
that Spain or England, or any other
mo arehy, had adopted republican institu
tions. Continuing. Mr. Henderson said that
to bim all places were proper and all times
convenient for the enunciation of his desire
to see all countries republics. He was sorry
that any of his friends felt that their posi
tion was such that they could not give the
resolution unanimous approval.
BRAZIL’S UNANIMOUS WISH.
If he understood the Brazilian people
they wished unanimously for a republican
form of government, and having created a
republic the conference should welcome
them. He cared not where the republican
standard was raised. If this great
change had been accomplished in
Brazil without bloodshed and hor
representatives were here, why wait
for an announcement that the republio had
been formally recognized by other govern
ments? The delegates were here not as
ministers to the United States;'why should
they delay giving encouragement to this
great revolution which ended forever all
idea of monarchlal government on Ameri
can soil,
CHILIAN OPPOSITION.
The Chilian delegate agreed with Mr.
Henderson’s idea generally, but felt con
strained to postpone the matter out of
regard for the official character of some of
the delegates.
At the suggestion of a delegate Senor
Romero read the credentials of the Brazil
ians, showing their appointment by Em-
Seror Dom Pedro, and also a cablegram,
ated at Rio de Janeiro to-day and ad
dressed to Minister Valente, reading as fol
lows:
The provisional government confirms the
powers given to your excellency and Honors
Lafayette and Mendonca. Bocaya,
Secretary of State, Provisional Government of
Brazil.
Minister Valente added that Secretary
Blaine bad seen the cablegram.
THE RESOLUTION TABLED.
A vote was then taken upon the motion
to table Mr. Henderson’s resolution, and it
prevailed, only two nations, Venezuela and
Uruguay voting in the negative.
The credentials were then referred to the
proper committee, and consideration of the
rules was resumed.
Delegate Coolidge withdrew his amend
ment, leaving the first rule as originally
proposed.
This, together with six other rules, follow
ing, was agreed upon in a preliminary way
after a long discussion and critical exami
nation, which revealed some errors in trans
lation, requiring correction.
RECOGNITIONS BY THE CHAIR.
The eighth rule, prescribing the method
of recognition by the chair, gave rtse to
more debate than any other, Delegate Estee
(United States) seeking to have the ordi
nary legislative practice adopted, and Senor
Quintana (Argentine) contending that if
this were done the United States delegates,
ten in number, might be unduly favored,
owing to their large representation. Finally
the rule was sent back to the committee on
rules, and the conference adjourned until
Monday.
Senor Lafayette, the Brazilian delegate,
has decided to remain away from the con
ference. It is said he is unwilling to accept
the telegoapbio renewal of his oredentials
sent to-day, and prefers to await the mall.
Brazilians are satisfied with the action of
the conference on Mr, Henderson's resolu
tion. They say the delegates had no right
to do anything whioh would imply recog
nition of the new government. That was a
matter for the homo office*. They appreci
ate Mr. Henderson’s motive, but regard the
action of the conference as the proper
thing. A resolution of m*re sympathy,
jjttey say, would have been qjurifia. - ■

San Francisco, Nov. 21.--Charles Mont
gomery, owner of the American Exchange

on account of his charitable work, has made
a statement showing that he has been the
victim of a confidence operator who has
succeeded in swindling him out of about
$BO,OOO und forcing bim to make an
assignment. Over two years ago he
met a young man giving his name
as E. Giencross Grant, who had identified
himself with the Young Men’s Christian
Association. Mr. Montgomery took an in
terest in him and finally formed a partner
snip with him in the agricultural implement
business. The company was known as the
Bull & Grant Farm Implomeut Com pa ly,
with stores in this city and Los Angeles.
Grant was placed in charge of the Los
Angeles store, and Mr. Montgomery, who
furnished the capital, recently discovered
that Grant had contracted debts,
and had also appropriated pro
ceeds from the sale of machinery
amounting to about $BO,OOO.

REM) RUNS TO THE REAR.
AN EFFORT TO RALLY THE NEW
YORK GANG HIS OBJECT.
A Possibility That Boases Platt and
Belien Will Hava Trouble to Deliver
the Delegation Reed Reasonably
Sure of Pennsylvania and Now Eng
land—Butterworth a Dark Horse.
Washington, Nov. 21.—Mr. Reedflgot
tired waiting for tho New York delegation
to come to Washington, so to-day ho wont
to New York for it. Mr. Reed's hopes rest
largely upon his ability to get tho unani
mous vote of New Eugiand, New York and
Pennsylvania. He is sure of New England,
in spite of all tbe talk of defection, talk
which has some basis, in fact, a consider
able number of New England mon are sup
porting Mr. Reed, simply because he is the
New England candidate, though personally
preferring some other candidate. He is
reasonably sure of Pennsylvania, having
the direct support of Dalzeli, Bingham and
Bayne, and tbe assurances of Quay and
Cannon that he will havo the rest. Quay’s
district representative, Townsend, is
bugler for the rest of the delegation.
NOT SO SURE OF NKW YORK.
But of New York he is not so sure.
Bosses Platt and Bullion, with whom ho is
now conferring, are strongly in favor of liis
election, and havo assured him that lie will
have a two-thirds majority in tho Now
York delegation, which will bind the others
to voto with it. But tho fact that none of
the New York men came to town encour
aged McKiuloy, Cannon and Burrows in
their belief that they had nine or teu of the
New York votes so fast that Mr. Reed’s
friends, the bosses, could not get them
away. Mr. Rood’s departure to look up ills
votes strengthens this opinion.
GHOULISH GLEE.
The four western candidates laughed with
Joy when they heard that Mr. Reed had had
to go to the rear for his reinforcements. The
western men talk continually of a “com
bine,” which will enable thorn to hold
ninety or a hundred votes against Mr. Reed,
but so far no three of them have agreed to
withdraw iu favor of tho fourth. Bon
Butterworth, who is considered by some
astute statesmen tho real dark horse of the
coutost, arrived to-day.
A SHOUTEIt FOR M’KINLKY.
Like all the other Ohio men, he is talking
McKiuloy vigorously, but it is not improb
able that McKinley may withdraw in his
favor, in which event Cannon and Hender
son, who are warm jiersonul frionds of But
terworth, might not be unwilling to with
draw in his favor, Tbe “anything to beat
Reed” feeling may elect Butterworth. Tne
southern and tho new state men are still
bargaining with the different candidates,
exeupt Ro-d, who has refused to bargain
with them. Besides good committee places
the southern men want Adamsof Maryland
made doorkeeper.
DINAN’S WHITE HORSE.
It Is Now in a Dime Museum—A Man
Says It Didn’t Draw Cronin.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 2L—Patrick Dlnan,
the livery stable koeper and owner of tho
famous white horse, was the first witness ia
the Cronin case to-day. He testified that
his horse was in a dime museum in this
city, and had been for three week*. This,
he said, was the same horse that he had let
Coughlin’s friend have on the evening of
the murder.
NOT A WHITE HORSE.
Louis Budenbendsr of Hoboksn, N. J.,
testified that on tho evening of the murder
he was in a cigar store opposite Dr.Cronm’s
residence. He saw Dr. Cronin and another
man leave the house in a buggy. The horse
in the buggy was gray —a speckled gray,
with dark legs. The hor>e he saw at. the
dime museum was white, and was not the
horse that drove Cronin away, and did not
resemble it.
Several microscopical exports testified as
to the impossibility of distinguishing human
hair from all other hair, or determining
that two specimens of hair have come from
the same head.
NORTH DAKOTA’S SENATORS,
Pierce Elected, but the Fight Over the
Second Still to be Decided.
Bismarck, N. Dak., Nov. 21.—Gilbert
A. Pierce was elected senator by the legis
lature to-day. The Johnson mon attempted
to force a vote for the second senator
in the House, but a motion to adjourn
was carried by two votes. A republican
conference committee has been appointed to

of the Emin Pasha relief committee, has
received a cable dispatch from Henry M.
Stanley announcing his arrival at
Mpwapwa and stating that he expects to
roach Zanzibar iu four or five days.
Stanley’s dispatch also states that tie has
made the important discovery that there is
au extension of Lake Nyanza. The British
cousui at Zanzibar telegraphs to the foreign
office ns follows: “Stanley arrived at
Mpwapwa on the fifty-fifth day of hm de
parture from Victoria Nyanza, and the
1883 th day after leuviug the Albert

mentioned’ Stanley has with him
II ffman, Emin's daughter, and Fathers
Drault and Sohinzo, of the Algerian mis
sion. Stanley left Mpwapwa on the 12th,
traveling toward the coast by way of
Kemba and Mwemi. Stanley made au un
expected discovery of real value in finding
an extension of Victoria Nyanza toward
tbe southwoot. The utmost southerly
reach of the extension is south
latitude Z 43 . This brings Victoria Nyanza
within 156 miles of Lake Tanganyika.
1 ho urea of the extension is 2fi,9,X) square
miles.” Aocordiug to further advices re

with him 750 persons, of whom 290 are

carrying the sick.
Zanzirar, Nov. 21.—Stanley, in a letter
to the British consul at Zanzibar, in addi
tion to the news already cabled, sent the
following story: “Every previous expedi
tion has seeu lightening of its labor ujioii
nearing sea, but tho lung string of ham
mock bearers with us now tells a different
tale. Till we can place the poor things in
our company on shipboard there will be no
rest for uo. Tho worst of it is that
wo have not the privilege of showing
you at Zanzibar tho full extent of our
labors. After carrying them some 1,000
miles and lighting to the right ami left of
tho sick, driviug the Warasura from their
prey over range after range of mountains
with every energy on full strain, they slip
through our hands and die in their ham
mocks. One lady 75 yoars old, mother of
Valkiei, died in this manner.
CONTINUOUS FIGHTING.
“In North llsumka, south of Victoria
Nyanza, we had as stirring a time for four
(lays as anywhere on our route. There was
coutiuuous fighting during the greater part
Of tho daylight hours. Idle foolish natives
took au unaccountable prejudice
against Emin’s people. They in
sisted that they were cannibals and had
come for no good purpose. Talking
was useless, as any attempt to dis
prove their impression only drove
them iuto a white, hot rage, and
in their mad bate, flinging thouisolves on
us, they suffered severely. I aui advised
that the Zomba anil Mweiue route is the
best fur securing abundance of food, and
therefore I propose to adopt it— But as re
gards danger from attacks by rlie natives,
oue road seems to boas bad ai another.
ANXrouS TO MEET WIBBMANN.
Stanley, writing toOapt. Wissuiann from
Mpwapwa under date of Nov. 11, says: “I
have often wished to see you. Fate has
brought us within a fowdays of each other.
1 hope it will still lie auspicious and keep
you till I have the pleasing opportunity of
knowing a colieugue who has labored so un
ostentatiously and well in a similar field,
under the same royal patronage.”
Regarding Victoria Nyanza, (Stanley says
it is 1,9011 square miles larger than reported
by B|)ke, whose statement regarding the
sizs of tho lake was supposed to bo nn ex
aggeration. The Uriji also, which tSpeke
so lightly skotclied, turns out to b* a vory
respectable lake with populated islands.
EMIN’S ALLEGED INTENTION.
Berlin, Nov. 21.—Th* National Zeitung
says that Emin lias chosen tbe Mpwapwa
route, because he intends to hand over what

EBrN’B MU ON LIGHTERS.
Sir James Alludes to Them In His
Long Winded Argument.
London, Nov. 21.—The argument in
behalf of the Times by Sir Henry James
was continued before the Parnell commis
sion to-day. Referring to moonlighters in
Ireland he said they acted more like burg
lariftban like police of the league. Their
actions were not reproved by the leaders of
the league. It was not until February,
1880, when tho Parnellite members of the
House of Commons were supporting the
government, that tho leaders refused to
grant money to a certain district, owing
to outrages that had been committed
therein. Btr Henry referred to the murder
of Police Officer Brett, by Alien, Gould
anil Larkin near Manchester in 1887, and
said that the rntirderrs hod been held up as
heroes worthy of imitation. Davitt him
self had unveiled a monument to their
memory, and there was ample evidence that
the example of theso murderers might be
followed.
WITNESS NOT CALLED.
Sir Henry complained that Bir Charles
Russell, Mr. Parnell’s counsel, had called
only thirty-two of the sixty-five members
of the Parnellite parto implicated in the
charges made by the Times , whom he had
promised to call to testify.
Presiding Officer Haunen interrupted Sir
Henry at this point, remarking that Bir
Charles had only said that they would
testify if tne court and counsel ‘ for the
Times wished them to.
Notwithstanding Justice Hannon’s state
ment, Bir Henry contended that a direct
promise had been made that William Red
mond should be called. The most im
portant wit losses on the Parneilite side of
the Sir Henry declared, had willfully
absented themselves.
