Governor Pattison Demands the Re
moval of Many Officials.
Harrisburo, Pa., Oct. IS. Governor
PattiHon issued another proclamation
asking the removal of certain magis
trates and constables of Philadelphia.
The paper alleges: That many of the
magistrates of courts, not of record of
police and civil cause, in Philadelphia,
have been faithless and dishonest in the
performance of their official dnties; that
many of said magistrates, together with
the constables attached to their courts,
have been participants in a conspiracy
to cheat and defraud the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania in connection with the
collection of delinquent mercantile
license taxes in the city and county of
Philadelphia, from which large sums
of money have been lost to the common
wealth; and that many of said magis
trates and constables have been guilty of
bribery by the payment of money to
John Bardsley, late treasurer of the
city and county of Philadelphia, in
order to influence the official action of
the said John Bardsley and others for the
the purpose obtaining control and juris
diction of the suits against delinquent
dealers in Philadelphia, it be
ing alleged and believed that the
sum of (350 was paid by
eich magistrate before whom such
suits were brought in the year 1889 and
in the year 1890 to the said John Bards
ley, for the personal use and private
gain of himself and others; whereas, in
the year 1889, the sum of $31,811.85 was
paid to Israel W. Durham, Horatio B.
Hackett, William H, List, James S.
Neall, Johnson Boney, Benson O.
Severn, Robert R. Smith. Thomas W.
Bouth and John T. Thomsen, magis
trates of Philadelphia, as magistrate
constables' costs in suits against delin
quent dealers in Philadelphia, on which
no collections were made for the use of
the commonwealth, and in the year 1890
the sum of $31,195.2U was paid to Will
iam B. Ahem, Israel W. Durham,
Horatio B. Hackett, James B. Neall,

Cowed by Moonshiner.
Atlanta, Qa., Oct. 13. Seven mem
bers of a secret assassination society
known as "The Honest Man's Friend
and Protector." who were on trial all
the past week in the United States dis
trict court, were acquitted. The so
ciety was formed in the fall of 1889, and
had for its members notorious moon
shiners whose object was to intimidate
United States officials, witnesses and
informers. Their first effort was the
merciless whipping of one John R.
Aiken, who had some time previously
, testified against one of their members
in a moonshine case, They afterward
burned Aiken's house. Numerous
other outrages were committed before
the United States authorities finally lo
cated the criminals, nine of whom were
indicted. Two of these turned state's
evidence. The jury refused to believe
the informers and rendered a verdict of
acquittal. The strange contradiction
of tins verdict is that Bix colleagues of
these same men were tried in the state
court for ar.;on under the same evidence,
were convicted and sentenced to life
imprisonment.

Steamer Storm King;.
Los don, Oct. 13. Advices from Ten
ses points in Russia state that great
uasses cl peasants are flocking into the
tiwns from the country districts,
perishing from want of food. At least
550,CK0 have passed through Tuinien
alone seeking food. Many are falling

tracks. The wanderer haw no fuel
and the cold is intense. Incendiarism

Many Cattle Killed.
London, Oct. 13. Further evidence,
if such were necessary in support of the
argumont that the government should
establish more stringeut regulations
to protect the cattle which are Bhipped
from various parts of the United Slates
and Canada to Great Britain, was given
upon the arrival at Dundee of the Brit
ish steamer Storm King, which sailed
from Montreal Sept. 20. The usual
heavy weather which prevails at this
season of the year was experienced by
the Storm King. She had on board 630
head of cattle, stalls for which
had been erected between decks
and ou the uiuin deck. A heavy
sea was encountered and much
water shipped, necessit ating the closing
of the ventilators leading to the between
decks and the battening down of the
hatches. This of course, prevented, the
air access to the hold and the cattle in
the stalls, there were many of them suf
focated. The stalls on deck were of the
usual flimsy construction, and somo of
the seas which boarded the ship tore
them to pieces and carried them and the
cattle that was in them overboard. Oth
ers of the live cargo were so badly in
jured by the rolling and pitching of the
steamer, it being impossible for them to
keep their feet, that it was expedient to
kill them to put them out of their ago
ny. Out of the total consignment of
630 head of cattle, 152 were lost.

Washington, Oct IS. The negotia
tions for the commercial treaty between
the United States aud Germany have
been completed, but under the law they
cannot go into effect until Jan. 1, 1813.
The proviso under which President
Harrison has been acting ia contained
in the tariff of 18!K), section B, schedule
N, "with a view to securing reciprocal
trade with countries producing the ar
ticles named therein and for this pur
pose," etc. Under this section the pres
ident, about Jan. 1, can impose the duty
on German boet sugar, which finds ex
tensive market here, Germany has
been aud probably is anxious to make
a treaty, since one bat been made with
Spain to allow Cuban sugars and other
products to come in. Up to Jan. 1,
the United States can do nothing
in the matter, but Germany at
once sees its advantage in making
a treaty now so that it can go into effect
on the first of the year. Count Von
Mumm began negotiations- with the
state department and through Secretary
Rusk and General J. M. Foster, acting
for the state department, the treaty has
been brought to a successful comple
tion. It was signed last month at Sar
atoga, whin General Foster and Count
Von Mumm paid an unexpected and
hurried visit to that place when Presi
dent Harrison was there as the guest of
Mr. Arkell. The papers at that time
mixed General Foster up with Secre
tary Foster, and made the visit appear
as one to consult on bonds. One pro
viso in the treaty, which has prevented
the publication of Hie treaty and which
will delay the promulgation of the full
contents, is that Germany claims the
right to first announce the signing and
promulgation of the treaty. At present
German beet sugar comes into the
country free under the new , tariff law,
and nothing can prevent it until Jan. 1 ,
when the president is given power to
shut it off, on the ground that Germany
iuiiiotes duties on agricultural and
other products of the United States
which, in view of freo introduction of
sugar, etc., into the United States, he
deems to be reciprocally . unequal and
unreasonable, and therefore he suspends
by proclamation the provision granting
free entry of German sugar. ;
Just at this time, Germany with its
short wheat crop, finds that a free entry
of its cereals from the United States will
be benelicial and besides she must have
a Diarkut for her enormous beet sugar
output. The majority of her exports

Range Cattle Industry.
Washington, Oct. 13. The census
office issued a bulletin containing statis
tics of the range cattle industry in the
United States, not including cattle on
farms. The bulletin Fays that since
the census ot 1880 great changes have
taken place in the industry of range
cattle. Lare ureas once used as
ranges are now inclosed as farms and
the cattle are driven to new and dis
tant feeding grounds. A large portion of
Texas, Colorado, Oregon, Washington
and California, one third of Kansas and
one half of Nebraska have been con
verted into farms during the last de
cade. Owing to the difficulty in exactly de
fining the lines Of range and farm stock
and to avoid duplications, only the
stock known to be outside of that
taken as farm stock is included in the
tables of thici bulletin. It is found that
in June. 190, there were upon the
ranges 5l7,l.'8 horses, 5,4i?;i mules 14,109
assesor burros, 6,8!f,188 cattle. 6,070,
D0I sheep and 17,270 swine, with sales
of horses in 1809 amounting in value to
f 1.418,205; of cattle, $17,013,712; of sheep,
12,609,603; of swine, $27,132. fcThe total
number of n.en reported on ranges in
charge of stock is 15,390. The industry
is found to bo more generally prosper
ous at this time than for several years
previous.
The .Methodist.
Washington, Oct. 13 The afternoon
session of the ecumenical conference
was devoted to essa s on the roligious
press and the religious uses of the secu
lar press. Rev. H. P. Hughes of the
London Mission Wesleyan Methodist
church, was the essayist of the after
noon. He spoke of the origin and ob
scurity of the press and of its gigantio
growth. The earliest English journal,
tie said, was a small pamphlet printed
in the time of James I. He spoke of
the enterprise of the great journals and
the expense connected with it and the
profits of journalism. The religious
press, he said, should work for Christ
and not for gain. Newspapers, he ad
ded, have an ambition to influence pub
lic opinion. Every editor has opinions
and endeavors to convince his readers
to his way of thinking. The power of
journalism when used on the right side
is iinmirse. Religious journalism
ought not identify itself with politics,
bnt should hiM aloof from tolitieal
bonds, so it could regard all questions
from a religious standpoint. In con
clusion, he said the church had learned
much from eecular journalism and
hoped they would learn much more
from them, and if united, conld do
much toward hastening the building of
that city of justice, puiity and piety in
which there would be no room for sin or
misery.

Coixmbus, O., Oct. 13. Superintend
ent Filler of the infirmary of this county,
is in receipt of many letters from peo
ple in different parts of the Union who
cava read in the newspapers of the
placing of "Land Bill" Allen in that in
stitution, asking if he is really the man
who fifty year waa widely known
by his advocating the passage of the
homestead law; if he ia really homeless
and friendless, and proposing to raise
funds for him. To a correspondent who
visited Allen at th in"rmary he said:
''I was the first to auvocate giving to
each man 160 acres of land. I urged it
for years, traveled over many states and
addressed many legislatures. I also
urged setting aside lands for the sup
port of the schools and churches. The
substance of what I preached was incor
porated eventually into the homestead
law passed in lt-6L While traveling
about urging this plan I spent the for
tune I made in trade $50,000. In t hose
days we had no railroads in the west,
and I went about in my own wagon.
On each side of my wagon I had caused
to be painted the words; 'Land Bill
Allen. f The letters that Superintendent
Filler is receiving now from every state
east of the Mississippi doubtless come
from people who attended some of my
meeting,"

current here that Jay Gould has de
cided to turn over the bulk of his ex

president and general manager of 'the
Missouri' Pacific railway. It is said

been so great that he has finally been
compelled to take a rest. Mr. Gould
determined to call upon Mr. Clark to
relieve him of the bulk of his burdens,
at least temporarily, and hence the re
cent summons to New York received by
the latter. While Mr. Gould will be
in constant communication with Mr.
Clark and ready to give advice at any
time, ho will leave with his lieutenant
the transaction of the bulk of executive
business, and especially Union Pacific
atfairs. Mr. Clark in turn will call up

lighten his burden, while lieorge Gould
will represent his father in the east and
Edwin Gould will give his personal
attention to the coal properties in
