Ice Reference to Hie Performance at tne Ocala Convention on the Force Bill Resolutions— The Letters Which Throw seme Light on the Subject. Denounced as a Falsehood. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 5.—C01. Livingston was angry to-day. His usual composure was muoh disturbed. The cause of the dis turbance of bis peace of mind was brought about by the JiEWs correspondent, who was the first person to show the great allianoe leader the article printed in this afternoon’s Journal in reference to his performance at the Ocala convention, when the force bill resolution was before that body. The article in THE JOURNAL SAID: The foil wing is the story of the conduct of Col. L. F. Livingston at the Ocala convention in reference to the now dbturious force bill reso l uiou, which was adopted by that body After the convention had passed tne resolution de nouncing the force biii, Mr, Hall of Missouri moved to reconsider that action, and then moved to lay his own motion on the table. This is the regular, parliamentary method of clinch ing and making final the uction of a convention or deliberative body. Col. Livingston took the position that the convention should not cut oil the way to retreat from its condemnation of the force bill. This was a surprise to the southern delegates, and many of them were in. dignaut at Col. Livingston's conduct. The effort to reconsider the torce bill resolution was passed bv northern and western delegates, even after Mr. Hall's motion had b-en adopted. Col. Liv ingston was in constant consultation with theße friends of the force bill, and seemed to be in perfect sympathy with them. He wrote a reso lution declaring In favor of the principle of the force bill, but tore it up. The fragments were picked up by a Georgia delegate, who and it the pieces together, aod this is what they made: “ Whereas, A set of resolutions were adopted by this boay condemning the Lodge bill now pending in congress, and the action has aod is being construed us partisan and political; there fore bo it j •'Resolved, That this supreme council do here by declare that said action was not intended t s indorsing or condemning any partisan effort to control the ballot of any nation. Resolved, further. That wo are intensely in favor of n full and fair ballot, and whenever any state or congressional district shall, under state or national legislation, fail to secure not only a full ami fair ballot, but a fair count and correct certification of the same, then should congress provide a fair, just and common law to apply and remedy that evil. Col. Livingston asserts that this resolutiea as not his own, but tnat he merely wrote it It the reouest of a Michigan delegate. The following letters will throw some light on the subject. On April 8 CoL Livingston wrote the following note to the delegate who picked up his resolution and read it In its orig inal form minus one piece, which could not he found: "Sir—When in Oeala, Fla., at the request of a delegate from Michigan I wrote a resolution for hiai dictated by him to be iatroduc -d by hi:n as tisubstitute for a pending proposition touching tne Lodge bill.’ Hn did not introduce tbe resolution, and i went over to him and re guested it. and tors it up and threw the pieces into a spittoon. I understand that you gathered up tbs places, and with ths help ot a delegate from Gainesville pasted them up. Will you in form me if this be true, and what use you proj pose to make of it? Truly, ‘ ‘L. F. Livingston . ” The delegate who had the torn resolution de termined to ascertain if it was the paper which Col. Livingston drew up, and wrote to Mr. Hali to find out just what, he knew about the matter. He received this reply: Hubbard, Mo.. April 6, 1891. "Hear Sir axd iiitornEß Was nleased to receive your kind favor of the 23d ult. Accent my thanks for your kind invitation to meet with y'h in your state allianoe meeting.

Col. Livingston laid the letters to the charge of CoL R. E. Park ot Macon, to whom he said one signed by him had been addressed. CHILE’S NSW GOVERNMENT. Good Reason to Believe the United States Will Recognize it. Washington, Sept. s, —Whether or not the congressional Junta has been recognized as tbe de facto government of Chile cannot be officially learned at the department of state, os the acting secretary refutes to make any statement whatever on the sub jeo-. Neverthelers, there is good reason to believe that, acting upon Minister Egan’s information, that tha authority of the junta is supreme in Chile, he has, as already pre dicted, been directed to open relations with them. If there has been any question as to the proper treatment of the refugees aboard Admiral Browjt’a flagship Baltimore, it has been decided by the admiral himself, as appears from the following cablogratn re ceived by Secretary Trsoy from him this afternoon: Valparaiso, Sept. 5, 1891. The Baltimore left yesterday for Mollend, I’eru, taking away twenty refugees whose lives are not safe in Chile. There was no other way to reach neutral territory. The Baltimore is to return without delay. The excitement is sub siding rapidly. Brown. DrPAUTUHB OF THE CHILEAN MINISTER.

Sept. s.—Tho train rob bers who were thought to have escaped across the Rio Grande river with the sum, said to be $20,000, which they secured from the express cars on the Southern Pa cific railroad, were met yesterday by a body of rangers who hail been in pursuit, and a battle took place. Reports received say thirteen of the robbers and two rangers were killed. Several on both sidtyi were wounded. The rangers „ followed what was thought to be the course pursued by the robbers through mountain passes and although they had at several times lost the trail they pulled up on the robbers. Thursday they discovered unmistakable evidence that the men were but a few miles ahead of them. The pursuers followed the bandits eagerly, and made better time, for, after pushing cn a portion of the night, they were reworded yesterday by falling in with the outlaws. The engagement was short, as the bandits were outnumbered. They had the best portion, however, and stood their ground until their dead and wounded was so great that resistance was impossible, and then the remainder fled. It is said two of tho men escaped.

British Troop* Will Probably Hava to Evacuate Egypt—• Russia's Arrogant Demands Characterizad as a Matter for Kirect Provocation to the Friendly Powers—Similar Delay of Another Vessel of the Volunteer Float. Paris, SeDt. s.— There Is no doubt that the attention of Europe is at the present moment again painfully concentrated upon Turkey. That luckless oounti vis at present a prominent factor in two important ques tions, both dangerous enough to furnish a spark which may light tho torch of •war in Europe—the Dardanelles incident and the question of the evaountion of Egypt. The latter, having a more direct and ab sorbing interest to France, is most com mented upon hero. Tbe newspapers ot this oity refer at length tn tho report circulating iu official circles, tbe substance of which ix that tho first act of the new Turkish cabinet will be to briug forward the question of THE EVACUATION OF EGYPT* , by the troops of Great Britain. It is also rumored in the same circles that the fcorta will, practioaliy speaking, at tho same time address a circular to the powers an nouncing that it docs'not intend to modify the treaties affecting the passage by foroign warships of the straits of Dardanelles. Rossia’a demands ini connection with the detention of Iter volunteer warships were classed as so arrogant that tha Wiener Al~ legemeine Zeitunj of Vienna characterizes Russia’s action in tbo matter as a direct provocation to England and other friaudly powers. The main Dardanelles question does not center so much upon the ttioskowa'* deten tion going and coming from Vladivostcck as up-on the SIMILAR DELAYING OF THE XOSTROMA, another vossol of the volunteer fleet, practically a transport, returning from Kumvchatka with troops on board. This stoppage took place while the Russiau am bassador, M. Nelidoff, was still insisting upou nn apology aud t tdemnity for tho de lay forced upon the Mosbowa. The result was that the Russian ambassador not only demanded a further indemnity in tbe case of tho Kostroma, but in addi tion, though it is not denied that this vessel had troops aboard (time expired men), M. Nelidoff demanded ths dis nistal of the commandant of the Dardanelles, and that tbe superior official of tbe artillery de partment should wait upon the steamship company’s agent at Constantlnoßla and len der an apulogy on tho part of tbe Turktso government. RUSSIA ALWAYS VICTOBIOUS. Tbe Neue Freie Jo-esse of Vienna re cently, in what was said to b an inspired article, claimed t ) see a plan and system in these repeated straits inch.>:, which al ways ended iff a victory foifiirsia. “Tho plan,” according to the Xey - Fre(e Pressa , “is to accustom the Turkish guardia s of tha Dardanelles to the passage of Russian ships with soldiers and arms on bo ird, w tether previous a tics had been given or not, to let the comma dor of the fortress and his subordinate! know that the Russians are always right,in tho end, and that they will be censured for during their duty. Thus ground will be prepared for tbe execution of a future turprise on Con stantinople.” AVERSE TO A HASTY REMONSTRANCE. ( Copyright , 1891, by the X. Y, Ass elated Press I Berlin, Sept. s.— The coaftrenne be tween Chancellor von Caprivi and Count Kalnoky.the Austrian prime minister, at Mi ires Scbloss, n°ar Schwarliouaj, hare ended in their advising the Euglish govern ment not to be in a hurry to take any dip lomatic action in connection with the Dar danelles incident. The tone of the official press here indicates distinctly tht tbe gov ernment is adverse to joining England in hasty renioas trance against the portes agreement with Russia. Oerman Gazette hoids that, the porte’s assents to the oiairns if Russia is less important os a breach of tbe treaties than serious •• disclos ng a now line of policy adopted by Turkey toward Russia. considered England’s fight. The Viennese fYess (semi-oillciai) antici pates sharp antagonism between the Brit ish and Russian in(lueiioe|at Constantinople, and recommends that Euglani become more amenable so far as Egypt is concerned. In the opinion of tha Press tho now position of affairs does uot involve any danger to the neace of Europe. Other great powers, it holds, have no ground for taking any.active share in England’s impending diplomatic measures. Tho currents of intrigue tirouhU’the Sul tau, which are now in a swnllea co.Tditiou, may be allowed to run their course, ax vital interests of Turkey will finally tiring everything hack to the proper track. The waiting attitude which tbe imperial chan cellors have recommended to Lord Salis bury is explained by the official advices re ceived to-night from Constantiuoole to the effect that the life of the new Turkish cabi net will be brief. TH* NEW CABINET UNPOPULAR. The highest Turkish circles are indignant over tha composition of tbe new ministry, and especially at the dismissal of Ghazi Ozman, tho minister of war and marshal of palaces. Strong protests bava boon sent to the sultan, whoso own position Is menaced by malcontents. The reference of the Viennese press to the belief that everything will return to the proper trucks, points to the expectation of an early coilapse of tbe pro-Russian ministry, A successful conspiracy for the deposition of the sultan is among tbo con tiugencas that are discussal covertly in diplomatic circles. .THE TURKISH NINHTRY. Suspicions of a Plo£ Against the Sultan Cause a Change. London, Sept. s.—The Standard’s Vltnha correspondent says: “The Dardanelles agreement, which xu concluded behind Kiatnil Pasha’s tadk by the palaoe officials, compelled Kiarnil to resign. I: it suspected also that a secret treaty has been conclude I, with the approval of France, to come la to operation tw years hence, when the Blame Sea shipbuilding and docks plans have been executed.” The Standard's correspondent, at Con stantinople attributes the change ill' the ministry to tne sultan's suspicion of a plot to take his life, such suspicion arising fr m the sudden extinguishing of the gas in the palace during a storm recently, and the ex plosion of fireworks, on which occasion the sultan forthwith dismissed and arrested sev eral officials.

The third and last series of these exten sive army movements will commence on Sopt. 10, or the day following, and will end on Sept. 18.

AU the force were engaged and the effect resem bled that of severe fighting. The cavalry forces were much hampered, owing to the wooded nature of the oountry. The two emperors watched the evolutions for an hour, exchanging comments in a most cor dial manner. This joined the southern force. Chancellor Von Caprivi and Count Kal noky wore also wltueswos of the ovolutlons, and all were struck with the exoellenoe of the marching and endurance of tha men.
