STANDING WITH BL&INS.
Brother-In-Law Scott Did Not Speak
by the Card When He Said eo—The
President Unable to Conceal Bis
Irritation Over What He Terms Bis
Violation of the Proprieties of His
Position.
Washington, Nov. 27.—President Har
rison is quoted as saying to-day, to an in
quiring friend who plumply asked him
whether Brother-in-law Scott spoke by the
card when he said on bis return to his west
ern home from bringing Father-in-law
Scott to the white house, that there was an
understanding between Secretary Blaine
and President Harrison, that Mr. Scott
spoke without knowledge. The President
added, that far from having any “under
standing” with Secretary Blaine, he had
never had a word from Secretary Blaine on
the subject of the presidency, not even an
iutimation direct or lndireot.
HARRISON FEELS SORE.
The President spoke with some feeling
about it aud bis friend understood the feel
ing to be one of mingled disappointment or
resentment toward Secretary Blaine. The
President said he had been told by others,
and especially by other members of his
cabinet, that his principal assistant in the
administration of the government, not
being mindful of what he (the President)
regarded as the proprieties of bis posi
tion. was practically a candidate for the
party nomination to the presidency
against his obief, but Secretary Blaine had
net honored him with auy oonfidence oa
the subject. He spoke as though he thought
Secretary Blaine ought to have done so, but
he did not intimate that ho had determined
to risk whatever chance he has by demand
ing from Secretary Blaine a declaration of
his Intentions.
BLAINE SAWING WOOD.
Meanwhile Secretary Blaine shows no
disposition to resign or to go away, or to
do anything except to smile and say noth
ing. He i3 willing to let the others do the
talking, but it is well known, for he has set
firth in his book in describing the relations
of President Polk and Secretary Buchanan,
that he does not think the “proprieties’'
forbid his aspiring for the presidency, even
if his “obief’’ aspires for it, too. He is also
understood to think that “the proprieties"
forbid a locum teuens like Harrison from
trying to keeD out of the presidency the
real leader of his party, simply because ha
happens by the choice of that leader to be
iu the white house for one term only.

without preference. The failure was an
nonuoed iu the produce exchange at noon,
but the grain markets were only slightly
affected. Tho bouse is an old odo, but lat

the head of the firm distracted.
Assignee Gould this afternoon said: “The
assignment was made for this reason: Bid
ward M. Field, senior member of the firm,
has apparently gone distracted. Uls illness
resembles Incipient paresis, and is due to
overwork, and the great responsibility rest
ing upon him os manager of the
finances of the firm. His mother
died last Monday, and this event
seemed to bring to a climax his mental
trouble which some of hie friends had de
tected two years ago. A pbysian told me a
few days ago that Mr. Field was not right
in bis mind. Mr. Field having the sole
management of the funds of the firm it at
once bocame necessary to get from him
their condition. So I went in company
with tho other members of the firm to his
residence and tried to find out how things
stood. We failed, however, to obtain from
him any light on the situation, as
his mind would oontinually stray away
from tho subject. Wa had undertaken a
bopeloss task. An assignment then beoame
imperative in order to proteot the firm and
its customers.” Neither tne assignee nor

There were rumors afloat that a large
amount of securities had been re-hypothe

that this had been done with over $600,000
of securities, pledged by the Union Paoiflo
company. Watson Bros., who re
ceived SIIO,OOO in Denver and Gulf

but ttie firm would not turn them over.
REFOIITED sold on the exchange.
It was later reported that the Union Pa
cific securities were sold to-day on the stock
exobauge aud that the road would get out
an injunction to prevent their delivery.
Rumor has it that the firm has been lending
money on securities at 60 and 40 per cent,
discount aud then selling the securities at
their par value. Further than the fact that
several borrowers have asked for their
securities and they have not been produced,
the rumor has not been substantiated.
Rumors were ufloat placing the firm’s in
debtedness all the way from SIOO,OOO to
$1,500,000, but no correct statement could be
secured, though the office of the firm was
thronged during the entire afternoon by
people clamoring for information.
Cyrus W. Field is in a very critical con
dition. The loss of bis wife and his sou’s
failure and lapse of montal faculties have
laid him so low that he may not recover.
ATLANTA’3 REGISTRATION.
The First Case Ends in a Negro Being
Held for Trial.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 27. —Sometime ago
the anti-barroom campaign oommlttee an
nounced that all persons who registered ille
gally would be vigorously prosecuted. Wnen
the books closed with a total of about 7,590
registered, the anti-barroom people claimed
that about 1,500 or 2,000 of that number
were illegal. This moruing the committee
beitan the work of discovering and prose
cuting. Printed forms were distributed to
a large foroe of volunteer “spotters,” and
all day the headquarters of the oommittee
were in a state of exoitoment over the work
of comparing the lists with the tax books
in collecting evidence.
A TEST CASE.
During the morning a test case was tried
before Justice of the Peace Manning, and
Wilson Fitter, the negro under arrest, was
promptly bound over nnder a 8300 bond.
He could not give it and went to jail. False
swearing is the charge which is brought
against the illegal registrations, the penalty
for which is not less than three nor more
than ten years in the penitentiary, without
an alternative. The oommitteo's object in
making the arrests is to prevent those who
are illegally registered from votiug, as by
voting they commit an additional offense.
An attorney has been employed to prosecute
the cases. To-morrow a number of arrests
are ex(*cted to bo made, including white as
well as colored people.
The campaign is increasing in interest as
eleotlon day draws nearer. One of the war
rants taken out by the anti-barrom com
mittee was against Peter McMicbael who
will be recognized by ex-legislators as the
negro who ran the blind tiger in the dome
of the capitol.
SEPARATION OF THE RACKS.
The Now l aw Sent to the Officials of
the Convict Camps.
Atlanta, Ga„ Nov. 27.—1n accordance
with the directions of the goveruor, Princi
pal Keeper Jones of the penitentiary to-day
sent the officials of the various oonvict
camps a copy of the law passed by the last
legislature in reference to the separation of
white and colored convicts, with an order
that the new law be carried out. The new
law provides that: “It shall be unlawful
for any person or firm loasiug or
controlling any convicts in this state
to oonflne white and colored convict* to
gether, or work them chained together
Roing to or from their work or at any time.
Any person, and each member of any firm
of persons, violating the provisions of the
sot is guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be
punished os provided in section 4310 of the
Code.”
KIDNAPED AT AUGUSTA.
A Sensational Fight for Possession of
a Motherless Child.
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 27.—Augusta bad a
social sensation in high Ufa to-day. It was
tho kidnaping of little Julia Stovall from
Mrs. Dodd’s school, and her removal to At
lanta. She was abducted by her aunt, aud
the entire transaction was a family affair.
Little Julia is the daughter of John Stovall,
who married Miss Julia Coles, older sister
of Mrs. Stewart Phinisyof this city, when
Mrs. Stovall, Mr. Stovall's mother, took
charge of Julia. Then the child’s grand
mother died aud the was put under the core
of Miss Nita Stovall, her aunt, now Mrs.
Brantley of Atlanta.
THE CHILD’S FATHER DISAPPEARS,
In the meantime the father of the little
girl absconded and she was left entirely to
the care of her aunt, Mrs. Brantley. A few
months ago Julia Stovall came on a visit to
her aunt, Mrs. Stewart Phlnizy, in Augusta
aud she decided to keep her and rear her
with her ova children becaesn Mrs. Brant
ley was not able to give her the education
and comforts which the child deserved.
She applied to Ordinary Walton of this
county aud was appointed the child's
guardian. Whan the Atlanta aunt heard
of It she was quite Indignant and on Nov. 17
Mrs. Brantley and her brother, Tom
Stovall, made appUoation to Ordinary Cal
houn in Atlanta for guardlauship letters
for Julia Stovall, who on Spt. 7 last was
placed under the care of Mrs. Stewart
Phinizy by Ordinary Walton of this oounty.
Mrs. Brantley stated that Jullt was given
to her grandmother by her father. W bon
the grandmother died the obild was left to
Mrs. Brantley and Mr. Stovall, her aunt
and uncle. Mrs. Brantley further con
tended that Julia was only allowed to go to
Augusta on a visit and that she wm kept
there.
guardians appOlKted.
Ordinary Calhoun held that be bad juris
diction, as Atlanta was the child's home,
and he appointed Mrs. Brantley guardian.
The child, however, was under the care of
Mrs. Phinlsy, her maternal aunt. So it will
be seen that the two ordinaries appointed
guardians, each claiming jurisdiction, and
each appointing different guardians. On
Sept. 9, two days after Orfllniry Walton
appointed Mrs. Stewart Phlnizy’ guardian
or the child, Mrs. Brantley and Mr. Stovnll
filed an appeal to Judge Walton’s decision
appointing' Mrs. Phlnizy as guardian, and
the case Is now in the superior court and
will be heard in January.
THE KIDNAPING.
To-day, however, another sensational
ohapter occurred, showing that the Atlanta
aunt is not willing to wait the law’s delay.
The ohlld went, us usual, to tho school of
Miss Dodd, on Broad, below Elbert street,
this morning with her oottsm Eliza, Mrs.
Phinizy’s own daughter. About 9:l6o’clock,
shortly after school opened, a lady iu a
carriage drove to the school aud asked Mrs,
Dodd for Julia Stovall, saying she was
going to take the obild out to see the expo
sition. The little girl went with the lady
aud jumped in the carriage at the door,
which was then very hurriedly driven off.
When informed about it'He first idea that
suggested itself to Mrs. Phlnizy was that
the child had been kidnaped.
a warrant sworn out.
Stewart Phlnizy at once wont to tho
court bouse and swore oilt s warrant against
Mrs. Nita Brantley and Mr. Stovall, the
paternal aunt and uncle of the orphan,
charging them with kidnaping the] child.
The warrant was placed in the hands of the
officers and a telegram was sent to Grove
town to the marshal of that place to inter*
cept the party there in the event that they
were on route to Atlanta. This was done,
but tho marshal there having no warrant
the passengers sympathized with Mrs.
Brantley and came to her rescue, dosing
the door against the officer. The fugitive
party are said to be safe in Atlanta Tho
incident has caused quite a sensation.

NO HOME RULE FOR ERIN
ARTHUR BALFOUR SPEAKS AT A
CONSERVATIVE! RALLY.
The Differences Between the Con
servative and Liberal Parties De
clared More Profound at Present
Than in the Memory of Two Gen
erations—Stand of the Unionists.
Glasgow, Nov. 27. —Hon. Arthur J. Bal
four, first lord of the treasury, was the
crlncipal speaker at the conservative meet
ing held here to-day. Mr. Balfour declared
very positively that Ireland would never
attain her desire to have a parliament sit in
Dublin. Mr. Balfour said that the dif
ferences which separate the conservative
aud liberal parties are more profound
at present time than they have evor been
before in the memory of two generations of
British statesmen. He deolared that during
the last five years the unionists bad had to
fight for principles which heretofore hod
been supposed to be uuder the guardianship
of both parties.
STAND OF THE UNIONISTS.
Tho unionists, be said, would ever be
found on tbs side of order and loyalty. They
would deal with crime promptly ana effect
ively. They believed that society wo*
fouudod on certain principles of law and
morality, and that if in obedienoe to politi
cal induoents they relaxod their hold on
these principles they would do the country
a most profound injury.
FIRST DUTY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Later on Secretary Balfour ■all that what
ever was the success of the government's
policy iu Ireland it at any rate had been a
sincere policy. The first duty of the gov
ernment was to see that the laws wore
obeyed, aud by wise administration and
lavish expenditure of money to endeavor
to iucraose the happiness of the people in
every part of her majesty’s dominions. Iu
oonolqsiou, Mr. Balfour declared that no
matter what tho future might bring forth
it would never bring home rule to Ireland.
The Qazette announces that parliament
will re-assorable on Feb. 9,1892,
the agricultural bill.
(Copyright, 1801. tty the N. P. Associated Preu.)
London, Nov. 27.—Mr. Chaplin, chair
man of the board of ngrioulture, has been
charged by tho government to undertake
the framing of their agricultural hill for
encouraging laborers and small farmers in
Great Britain to acquire holdings, a measure
approved at the conservative oouference in
Birmingham, which concluded its delibera
tions Wednesday. The cabinet as yet re
mains undecided as to the scope of the
measure and tho proper period for its intro
duction. Official circles apparently do not
attach great importance to the re
fusal of the Birmingham conference to pass
Sir Albert RoUlte's motion declaring
in favor of the ministers’ lutention to intro
duce at the next session of parliament a bill
for the extension of looal government in
Ireland. The habits of obedieuce kept up
in the conservative ranks are relied on as a
safeguard by the ministers if they persist in
giving Irish legislation the first place on
their programme.
OPPOSED TO A CHANGE.
Mr. Qoscbeu and Lord Hsrtinrlon, It Is
known, oppose any departure from the
Sovernment's Irish policy, or delayabout
ir. Balfour’s promised local government
.bill. Mr. Balfour himself privately indi
cates that although bound to bring the bill
forward he has no strong love for It, while
Mr. Chamberlain would prefer to see tho
parish council's bill and bis “old age pen
sion” Bchemo have precedence. The course
of the government depends on what pitch
the conservative agitation against Irish
legislation may attain.
Mr (lladstone has intimated that it is not
his desire to address the mass meeting of
the agricultural conference at the National
Liberal Club. The delegates, now limited
in number to 300 are composed of farmers
and laborers, representatives, county ooin
mouers and rural candidates for parliament.
GERMANY'S BUDGET.
A Deficit of 8,000,000 Marks Looked
For—Talk of a New Loan.
Berlin, Nov. 27. —The debate on the bud
get began in the Reichstag to-day. The
secretary of the treasury said it was ex
pected that there would be a deficit of
8,000,000 marks during the present fiscal
year. The yield derived from customs
showed the effect of commercial treaties lu
restricting exports. The secretary
also said that nothing had as
yet been decided regarding the
new loan. At any rate no loan would be
required for a few months. The deprecia
tion in the German 3 per cents, he declared,
was due to a nervous feeling oa the bourso.
The government would not issue a 4 per
oent. loan. It hoped to obtain more favor
able terms.
general dissatisfaction.
Herr Riokert declared that there was
general dissatisfaction throughout the
country, but it was not the fault of the
present government. It was an inheritance
from Prince Bismarck’s system. He con
demned the extravagance shown In the
military and naval estimates, but approved
the conclusion of commercial treaties, to
whioh he said the Freiseinnlge party woald
give their strongest support.
THE CHANCELLOR’S SPEECH.
Chancellor von Caprivi followed. After
denying that be intended to resign, he re
futed the reproaches uttered against the
government on acoount of its so-oalled
vacillating policy. .Truth and frankness, he
said, were the best methods in foreign
politics. The kaiser’s journey to Russia
had established friendly intercourse be
tween the two moaaroht, but no
political matters had been dis
cussed between them. The press
indulged in too much drumming aud
trumpeting in regard to the visit of the
Frencn fleet to Cronstadt, whioh had on
gendered on the other side a wish for more
drumming. The position of France and
Russia toward the drelbund bad not
changed. AU that happened at Cronstadt
was that the existing conditions became
manifest, but there was no need of uneasi
uees. The czar’s intentions were most
pacific, only care must be taken to avoid
clumsy errors.
RUSSIA’S POWER.
The czar’s government was in a position to
make its will prevail. Us Increased oonfi
denoo in the French constituted no danger
to Germany. Referring to the elate of
the general armament iu Europo the chan
cellor said that this would continue much
longer, uninfluenced by the resolutions
adopted by the peace congress. It was, how
over, a matter of satisfaction that the gen
eral preparations for war had increased the
desire for peace. In East Afrioa Germany
still had a long task to fulfill. Bhe bad
been obliged to have recourse to the doubt
ful plan of a lottery, but Germany’s pos
sessions in Afrioa were ter. times more im
portant than those of England, with which
nation Germany bad not made a bod bar
gain.
ALSACE-LORRAINE PASSPORTS.
Continuing the chancellor said that the
abolition of oompulsory passports in Alsace-
Lorraine has.been regarded as aa aot of
weakness, but oontinuanos of that system
as a permanency was impossible, The as
similation of the reiohstand and Germany
was progressing surely. The best connect
ing fink was the army. After a
few generations the reiohstand ques
tion would be settled. There was
no cause for uneasiness on account of tbe
army, though certain military pessimism
had lately become apparent. The world’s
habit of estimating the worth of an army
according to its number was wrong. Ger
many never before possessed so many
capable military leaders aud no other
nation bad such chances tor the next war.
The question of increase of the popula
tion, said the ohenccllor, would be con
sidered during the coming winter.
THE FRONTIER MOVEMENTS.
Referring to tbe movements of the troops
on the Russian and French frontiers, the
chancellor sahl that Germany as well as
Austria, had, in this respect, probably ex
ceeded their duty. Too much anxiety pre
vailed beoause Russia had dispatched an
army corps to a (dace as near the
German frontier as Coblentz was
to the Russian frontier. Tbe
newspapers, moreover, ought to be
better eroplnvod than alarming their readers
by publishing reports calculated to inter
fere with oommerce and damaging the
credit of the country. Germany was iu a
fortunate petition in being able to rely upon
a fine army. Be coold not see why this
policy would not be able to protect the io
tereete of Germany in many circumstances.
FRANCK'S ARCHBISHOPS.
The High Prelate at Annecy Writes a
Letter,
Paris, Nov. 27. —The archbishop of An
neoy has written a letter similar to the one
whloh oauso.l the proseoutlon of the .arch
bishop of Aix. It is expected that tbe gov
ernment will take notice of tbe letter and
cause Its author to be prosecuted.
When the archbishop of Aix was con
victed of lusulting M. Fallleres, minister of
justice and public worship, aud was dued
8,000 francs, tho Figaro decided that it
would open a public subscription to raise
tbe amount necessary to pay tbe flue. It
Sri tiled an appeal to tho public, aud yoster
ay it anuouuceJ that enough money bad
been subscribed to meet the object iu view.
The government, however, did not approve
of this action on the part of the Figaro,
holding that it was violating the press law,
which forbids the opening of subscriptions
to pay legal cost*. A citation was therefore
served upon tho editor and he will be pros
ecuted.
A CORPORAL IN THE NuOdtC.
Membors of His Regiment Tired of
His Petty Tyrannies.
London, Nov. 27.—Great excitement
prevailed at the headquarters of the Horse
Guards to-day upon the receipt of intelli
gence from Aldershot, where the groat
military camp and barmoks are situated,
that the spirit of military insubordination
S prevalent in ono of the regiments sta
oned at that place. It appears that
a corporal of the Seoond battal
ion of the I’riuce of Wales' Ijolu
ster’s regiment (RoyhECnnadians) had by
petty tyrannies rendered himself obnoxious
to tho men. As tbe corporal was going ills
rounds a number of men seized him, threw
a noose arouud his neck and hauled him up

He was nearly dead, and it will be some

Berlin, Nov. 27. —Chancellor von
Caprivi was present at -the session of the
Reichstag to-day, and in a short spoeoh he
referred to the rumors whioh have been
circulated that he intended to resign bis po
sition as tbe head of the imperial chaneel

to remain at bis post as long as the em
peror was pleased to retain his services.
This announcement by the chancellor was
greeted with applause.

Russia’s Restoration in Bulgaria and

(Copyright, 1881, by the .V. Y. Associated P en.}
London, Nov. 27. —The first authentlo
information, conveying tbe results of M.
fie Giera' sojourn in Paris, has reached tha
foreign office through tba British embassy
at Berlin. M. de Glare has communicatej
to Emperor William and Chancellor von
Caprivi, a clear explanation os td
tbe conferences held in Paris
and the character of the
Russo-Frenob entente therein achieved.
Doubtless the czar has instructed his minis
ter to make the declarations with a view to
having not only tbe German government
but other interested European governments
learn tbe nature of the compact between
Russia and France.
nature of tun agreement.
According to a semi-official statement,
baaed on M. de Giera' declarations to Chan
cellor v n Caprivi, a statement, which will
probably be published throughout Europe
to-morrow, the Russian statesman’s recent
interviews with President Carnot, M. ds
Freycinet, premier and minuter of war,
and M. Ribot, minister of foreign affairs, re
sulted ill a definite agreement for an exclu
sively defensive all.aneo. The entente
agreed upon, according to the statement
quoted, differs on one most essential point
from the triple alliance treaty. Inasmuch os
while the latter makes European status qua
the basis of tho m ilntenaiico of peace, tha
Rumo-French entente aims at what M. de
Giere has called “respect for treaties,” mean
ing especially tho restoration of Russia’s
gnp on Bulgaria and British evacuation
of Egypt. The differences ou those features
of the situation are not, meantime, to ba
regarded as constituting a danger of war, aa
both the Russian and French governments
desire strict application of existing treaties
by paoifio means.
NO TREATY SIGNED YET.
M. de Giers has further comiuauiceted
tbe fact that no treaty has as yet been
signed and lias intimated that tbe Frenoix
ministers desire the oonciualon of a format
contract, as alone preporly defining future
responsibility and rendering it possible to
pursue a distinct policy before Europe,
while, at the same time, avoiding the re
proaoh of cherishing warlike designs.
The sum of tho official assurances from
tbe Berlin embassy is that the Paris con
ferences of M.doGiera, instead of having an
ompty character, as was generally reported,
have resulted in a scheme to maintain a
diplomatic warfare against the drelband
and England, awaiting a more propitious
period tor engaging in actual war.
OF THE FIRST IMPORTANCE.
M. de Giers' communications assume the
first Importance, not for what they disclose
so much aa because they constitute tbe first
official admission of the Russian govern
ment to tbe powers that a Russo-Frenoit
alliance has really Leon arranged. Lord
Salisbury went to Windsor castle to-nlghl|
to place before tbe queen certain dispatches,
and it Is surmised that they are those which
refer to the Russo-French entente.
ENGLAND AND OUR OATTLH.
Her Live Stook Dealers Not in Favot
of Free Admission.
(Copyright 1801, by the AT. Y. Associated Prut.)
London, Nov. 27. —Since Secretary Rusk
reported in favor of declaring that English
live stock be excluded from the Unttad
States unless tha restrictions on the landing
of American cattle at British ports
be removed, British farming socie
ties have actively discussed the
subject. The balance of opinion
among live stock dealers distinctly supports
the attitude of Chairman ( hapliu of the
board of agriculture on the subject. Far
mers’ journals are giving prouduenoe to
announcements of recent outbreaks in New
Jersey with a view to enforcing tbe
argument that before the United
States government can legally claim
admission for Amerioan cattle it must sate
isfy the British government that pleuro
pneumonia is so extirpated that no oases
have occurred in twelve months in any
part of tbe union. It is contended that i’C
Secretary Rusk’s Intended prohibition is
effected, no country will suffer so muoli
from the absence of pure bred British live
stook as the United States.
