CHICAGO , Sept. H. From a story mndo
public this evening It seems the pollco de
partment has just been engaged In unnlhur
wild geese chase nflnr Tascott , the supposed
murderer of Millionaire Snoll. It appears
thut several months niro an American resi
dent nf Hong Kong spotted' young man
banging about tliero whom ho was sure was
none utticr than the renowned Tascott. Ho
advised Iho authorities of the state depart
ment and also of Chicago thnt the suspect
had arranged lo ship for Sun Francisco
on Ihe ship Titan , which would arrive
at Sun Francisco ubout August 20. His
story us to identification , etc. , was so posi
tive th'nt it sot thu ofllcials hero In a flutter.
No lime was to bu lost , so Captain Fitzpatrick -
rick nnd Sergeant Damcn wcro started for
the Golden Gnta post haste , with letters to
.the revenue ofllcials which would enable
them to go out on a revenue'cutter and meet
the Incoming ship. Cliief Hubbard mean
while rushed down to Springfield und went
thu necessary forms to gut a requisition on
the governor ot California.
Arrived in San Francisco , the Chicago oftl-
| ( 4 ccrs were cordially treated by the revenue
ofllcers und given every accommodation , but
sud to relate , wlien thu ship was boarded the
suspect wus no more Tnscott than iho man
in tliu moon. Ho was John Ilunry Jones , an
unroimmliu young Welshman , who had
plenty of paper and other evidence to prove
he wus all right.
Now comes the laughable part of the story.
Captain Fit7putrick , on returning lo Ihu city ,
hastened lo Iho telegraph ofllco and lelu-
praplied his chief :
"Found Iho man readily. Ho Is not thu
party wanted , beyond the possibility of a
doubt. "
When this message was delivered to the
chief , by some manipulation of the telegraph
operator , It road :
"Ho is the party wanted , " etc.
Immediately tliero wus urcut excitement
In ajid about headquarlcrs und the mayor's
ofllco. nnd for fear Tuscolt mlphl by some
technicality escape before tliu lequlsltion
reached tlio const , Fitzpnlrick was tele
graphed to Hang on to the suspect at all haz
ards , and oilier instructions. This staggered
FiUpalrick , but ho saw tliero had been n
blunder , und sent another dispatch which
Ihls time reached the ofllco with tlio "not" In.
That's all. The ofllcors nru homo. Thu

CHICAGO , Sopt. 11. fSpoclal Telegram to
TUB Unn.l-Tho marital misfortunes of
Michael Cnsslus McDonald , tlio millionaire )
gambler and domocratln leader of Chicago.
nro to bo canvassed In the dlvorco courts ,
It will bo remembered that McDonald , . ivho ,
by thu way , la as powerful In Chtcano pol
itics , nntl as popular among the rubble ns
was over John Morrisse.v In his palmiest
days in Now York , awoke ono morning ro-
ccntly to discover that his wife lind fled in
company with n French priest , who for two
years had been her dally confessor. Slnco
that time nothing has bean heard of Mrs.
McDonald and Father Moysunt , but they are
understood to have sailed for Europe.
Mr. McDonald , through his attorney , A. S'
Trudo , to-du.v begun suit In the superior
court for n divorce from his truant wife ,
Mary McDonald. The bill of the abandoned
husband sots up that ho married Mrs. Mc
Donald about November 20 , 1870 ; that ho is n
resident of Cook county nnd has been n resi
dent of the state for inoro than twcnty-llvo
years. Ho lived with Mrs. McDonald ns her
husband from the time of their Intcrumr-
rlugij until about May 1 , 1830. The com
plaint nays that on Juno 7 , ISbO , at the Wa <
verly house , In Dixon , 111. , the defendant ,
In utter disregard and in violation
of her married duty nnd obligations , com
mitted adultery with one Joseph M. Moys-
ant , nnd at the Grand Pacific hotel , Chicago ,
on or about April M , 1SSS , she was guilty of
thu same offense with the same uerson. At
divers other tlmo-t and places , to the husband
unknown , the wlfo is said to have committed
adultery with Hov. Moys.uit , und McDonald
states Unit July 24 Mrs. McDonald aban
doned her nome In Chicago and Hod in com
pany with Mo.y.saut to some place in Franco.
The couple left Now York city July 'J7 , in
tending to uo to Paris. They sailed
on the steamer La , Normandio ,
which arrived at Havra August 5 ,
but McDonald says ho does not
know where tlio fugitives are at the present
tluio. As the issue of tlio marriage two
children wo'ro horn Guy Cussius McDonald ,
now nine ioars old , and Cussius Michael
McDonald , now aged four who nro both
living with thu complainant. The husband
says that Mrs. McDonald is n lewd woman
und is wholly unlit to be entrusted with thu
care , custody and education of thu children ,
and he prays tbat ho bo invested with their
custody. Attached to the bill is un uflldavit
by McDonald to the effect that his wife is
not n resident of Illinois and that he has
tniido diligent inquiry to learn her plneo of
residence und has been unable to ascertain
the hame.
Mr. Truilo said thut tlio statement that
McDonald received a letter from Ills wife
was n mistake. The knowledge lie bad ot
her whereabouts was what detectives In
Now York ascertained from inquiry of the
onicers of the La Normandic. The ofllcers
of thu ship staled that they took over a
couple answering the description of thu run
away wife und priest , aud they landed at
Havre. From there no trace of the couple
bus been found , and what part of France
they uroin is unknown.

The Western Freight Association
Consider. ' ) Import in t Matter *
CHICAGO , Sept. 11. [ Special Telegram to
THE Br.i' . | The Western Fralght associa
tion to-day had two important matters under
consideration ono the Kansas City , Fort
Scott & Memphis road for u reduction on
the grain riilo from ICansi < 3 City to Now Or
leans. Thu application was promptly denied
by the association , and notice was immedi
ately given that the rate would bo made in
ten days at anyovent. . This action will
throw the whole scheme of gram rates out
of gear , thuro being no possible chanca to
chungo thu ICansas City or St. Louts south
bound rales without friction. The St. Louis
east-bound lines threaten vengeance , and
already a meeting 1ms been called to con
sider the matter. It is possible that a
ruto war will onsuo. The St. Louis
cast-bound lines wo a Id have the
udvantuKo in the fight except that the South
ern Pacific , with its line of steamers to Now
York , is undoubtedly behind ibo Kansas
Cily , Fort Scott & Memphis. Interesting
developments may bu looked for unless the
St. Louis lines conclude tliuro will bo enough
business for all and yield ttio point for the
tinio being.
Tlio question of the relative difference bo-
Iweon rates on packing house products and
live hogs is one in which every road in tlio
country is Interested. After a full considera
tion by tliu luter-staio commerce commission
ihu matter has not yet bcen.dccidcd. Small
wen dor. then , that when the matter came up
in the Western Freight association to day it
was deemed best to make no change at pres
ent. The question originated In the suits
brought by Squire , of Boston , against east
ern roads , charging discrimination in that
the rates were higher on live hozs than on
other dtcsscd products.
The. general managers of the Intcr-Stato
Commerce Hallway association mot to-duy
and took up many topics referred to them ,
none being of special Interest Every ono is
waiting for the decision of thu profidonls of
tno association In to-morrow morning's meet
ing , on the question of Canadian competition
in northwestern business. "I'lio wholu
thing. " salu a prominent freight agent to-day ,
"bus been it series of delays to avoid the in *
uvltable. Wo must , givu up all our north
western through business to the Canadian
lines or light for it ut low rules. Tlio Uur-

Some of us are on the fence , and some would

WASHINGTON. D. C. , Sept. 1L |
Commissioner Tanner "has occupied the
attention of Washington to-day. Scarcely
any othur subject than his retirement from
tno pension olilca was discussed in any quar
ter. Three or four members of the cabinet
were In consultation with the president dur
ing most of the afternoon and about " o'clock
thu commissioner himself was summoned to
the whlto house , whcro he remained ubout
two hours. When Commissioner Tanner
emerged from the executive mansion ho re
fused to state what action , if any ,
had been taken , but denied tliat , ho
was yet out of ofllco. There were nil
sorts of rumors circulated from early morn
ing until into this evening. It was staled In
street circles nnd around iho inlerlor depart
ment that on Monday the president sus
pended Commissioner Tanner , hut that the
commissioner refused to recognize the source
of Information of this alleged act , it having
gene through Secretary Noble , nnd remained
jn his ofllco yesterday and continued to per
form his oflloial duties ; that yesterday after
noon the commissioner was informed from a
higher authority that ho was suspended , and
that ho then packed up his private papers ,
bade a few of his official friends in the olllco
good-byo nnd retired to his homo In George
town. This statement was given credence
by the fact tt.nt when the pension ofllco began
business this morning , Commissioner
Tanner did not put In an ap
pearance , and Deputy Commissioner
Smith was authorised to net as commis
sioner. The many public men who called at
the commissioner's ' oflieo to-day found it
empty , und were told thut Air. Tanner wus
ill and keeping home. A short time uftcr
the lengthy conference between the presi
dent , Secretary Noble , Secretary Tracy ,
Postmaster General Wunamaker nnd Com
missioner Tanner it was stated that iho report -
port of the con mission unpointed to Invcstl-
'
cale Iho rera'litig and oilier acts of the com
missioner of pensions hud been read to Mr.
Tanner , nnd that ho had been culled upon to
and did explain uianv actions taken cither
under his direction , or by his inferior ofllcers
upon Iheir own authority , and' to which
Secretary NoDlo objeclod. Secretary Trucy
came over from Now York eapeclally to rep
resent the interests of Mr. Tanner , und it is
understood that ho made a strong appeal for
the retention of the latter. Secretary Noblu
was immovable , however , und contended
that Ihe commissioner must go if ho ( Noble )
was expected to remain as secretary of the
interior.
To-night there was a continuation of the
consideration ot thu Tanner casual-the white
house. The attorney general and ono or two
others who were In consultulion lo-day were
present. At 9 o'clock it wus stated that
thut there had been no action and that there
wus no odlcial announcement to be made.
Among the many reports in circulation to
night is ono that thn only real question now
before Iho president and cabinet is what
shall bo done with Commissioner ranner.
Ho has iho warmest sympathy of the presi
dent , who does not desire to turn him out
without affording him ether employment. It
is said that the United Stales inarshalslnp
for Iho boulhern diHlrict of Now York was
tendered the commissioner two days ago , but
was promptly rejccled. Mrs. Tanner is said
lo have objected lo her husband being taken
out of Iho pension oflicc und given Ihe posi
tion named , und she , is quoted as having
oluled that she preferred to take in
washing , if necessary , lo make
a livelihood. Another report isle
lo the effect that the cabinet Is considering
ttio advisability of extending to Mr. Tanner
Iho position of register of the treasury , now
occupied by General Kosccrnns , and if that
bo deemed impracticable lo agree upon some
olhcr place which would bo acceptable to the
commissioner. There was u great deal of
talking indulged in during the day as to
whom will succeed to the commissioner
ship , and among those named were ox-Pen
sion Agent Poolo. of Syracuse , N. Y. , cx-
Coiieresstnau Brown , a ono-Iegged veteran
of Cincinnati , nnd First Assistant Postmaster
General Clarkson.
Senator Hiscock , of Now York , has been
ubout the white house and the interior de
partment a great deal during the past Iwo
dujs and ho was Ihcro some time Ibis after
noon. Ho Is urging the appointment of
Poole , and Is very solicitous nbout some
provision being mudo in the way of another
oflico for Mr. Tanner. It was President
Harrison's intention to go to Dear Park
yesterday but ho decided to remain
hero until the coinmisslonersbip of pensions
is dcllnltelv determined. Ho will probably
go lo Door Park on Salurday afternoon to re
main over Sunday.
Later. Lalo to-night it was learned that
thu president has received the rcslgnalion of
James W. Tanner us commissioner of pen
sions. In Iho letter conveying the resigna
tion , it is said , tno commissioner writes Hint
ho rccocniies that differences exist between
himself and thes ecrelary of ihu inlerior re-
sticcllng iho udministi alien nf thu pension
buicuu , and these aifferencus being radical ,
In the interest of u thoroughly satisfactory
administration of Iho olllco ho resigns.
WINDIIIJI COMINO XBXT MONTH.
Supervising Archilcct Windrim told Rep
resentative Connoil to-day that ho would
visit Omahu next month for thu purpose of
looking over the slto for the now postoflleo
building so he can Intelligently direct the
preparation of plans , etc. Thu supervising
architect wants to give Omaha the very
best building possible whether it is well
located or not. Ho will try to
make UD in convenient and commo
dious arrangements what it will lack
In the way of proper locution , and Mr. Win

Hcportcr will to-morrow , In. Its rovlow of
the trade , say that the bulk of Ihis year's
domcsllo supply of wool as been received at
the eastern seaboard , and the daily receipts
show a falling off in the future. This year's
crop has been remarkable for tbo prlco it has
cost the growers to put \l \ on the market.
This is thu main reason for the continued
stiff price which has caused such a deadlock
between the buyer nnd pur
chaser during the past month. The
outlook all through ( ho cast is encouraging.
The spurt In buying , started last week In
liostoa by the larger mills to llllordors , con
tinues here and has extended to Now York ,
whcro the trade is slowly beginning to partake -
take of the general commercial buoynncy in
business nnd come out of thu slougli it has
been in for thd past two mouths. This In
creased buying nt n time the when receipts
promise to decrease , augnjents still higher
prices in Iho near fuluro. In New
fcnclund this has not' alarmed manu-
fnctuicrs , who now realize' thut in
having waited all summer for ruinously low
quotations , have failed to got the botloni
price , and now look anxiously to thd meet
ing of thu Manufacturers' association in

mode of roliof. The principal movement in

ufueturcrs playing the part of bears , but no

were on one day lately hero four homicides
nnd tncre have been a number of murder nnd
suicide cases where the murderer afterward
killed himself. Chicago is not alone in such
misfortunes , however. If it bo Iruo Ihat
there is an epidemic of crime sweeping over
the city there- - should bo an epidemic of Jus
tice , too. The oatb you jmvo taken is not nn
idle ono. You should make no indictments
but what are right and excuse no ono through
fear or favor. This largo number of cases
should make you think that you should sit
as many hours as the court sits. You should
meet not later than nt 10 o'clock a.m. . and ad
journ not curlier limp 0 o'clock p.m. ,
witli a recess at noon. There
Is no reason , with the largu
expense Involved , that you should play with
thu grand jury work. There are 500 cases ,
nnd you should see the necessity of full ses

NRW YOIIK , Sept. 11. The wind has sub
sided somowlint , but the sides are still ulaeic
and n light ruin U fulling. He-
ports from along the Jersey shore
show wrecks everywhere , there being
sixteen between llarncgat light and Sandy
Hook. The waters along the Kast and North
rivers is not BO high this morning ns It was
nt fioud-ltdo yesterday , but many cellars nnd
basements are still Hooded nnd business nt
the docks nnd along the water fronts Is still
being carried on under great dtftlculty.
Vessels nt anchor along South street piers
hnvo the nppuaranoo of having passed
through a veritable cyclone. The rigging of
many of the craft was lorn inlo shreds anil
the spars and masts were dismantled. The
lulegruph wires between hero nnd Sanely
Hook nro still down. Thcro is consequently
the greatest uneasiness felt by the members
of the Maritime exchange for the safety of
vessels In the ofllnp. It"Is learned that only
two vessels had couio up to quarantine since
last night. 'Ihey were the new Morgan
line steamer Qinar , from Nuw Orleans , and
the Hamburg Stcmnshlp company's Califor
nia. The Elunr encountered n hurricane on
the night of the Uth InsU While there was
no serious damage sustained things on board
wcro made lively. The California tmd a
load of emigrants on board. She arrived nt
the bar at 0 this morning and reports thut
on September 0 she encountered n hurricane
oft the Georges' banks. The steamer ar
rived nt thu bur ut 2 a. m. . but could not find
any pilot boats or slnllon boat from which to
tnlto a pilot. About 7UO : a. in. the steamer
Ardaunu , bound out , hove In sight ready to
discharge her pilot. The lifo boal was
launched with three men to pick up Ihu pilot.
The dlfllcult task was accomplished and the
boat started back for the California , but
was capsized. The men were rescued with
great dilllculty.
Along the battery wall the waves dashed
far into thu park. The iron railing sur
rounding the wall along side the dock com
missioners' building was carried away , while
the docks nt Castle Garden were completely
washed. The custom house quarters at the
end of tno immigrant dock was couiplctely
filled wilh water und the landing agent's
oftico was submerged.
A report frorti quarantine , says : A num
ber of steamers proceeded to sea to-day , in-
clixllng two LJrcmen vosslos nnd a Cunard
line steamer. The pilots on board these ves
sels will undoubtedly bo carried off , as no
pilot boats'are In sight to land tliem. Another
report from quarantine says the storm con
tinues with the wind freshening from the
cast northeast , and u high sea Is running.
Great damage is being done to property
along the Staten Island shore. Several
steamers und pilot boats are anchored in
Gravcsend bay outward bound. In all nine
pilots wore carried nwny to-day on steam
ers , they were directing outward. They
could not meet any pilot bout to taico them
off on account of the storm.

Pliir.ADHLfUiA , Sept 11. Superintendent
Dayton , of the West Jersey and Canidcr. &
Atlantic railroads , was soon to-night by an
Associated press representative and was
able to give a , favorable report on Iho condi
tion of affairs nt Atlantic City. When the
tide receded this afternoon gangs of men
made their way from Plcasantvillo almost
into Camdcn over the Camden & Atlantic
City road. A telegraph line was at the same
limu established within n short distance of
thn water bound town and reports received
showed that the place is in mucli bettor
shape than anticipated.
Wild rumors hud gained circulation hereto
to tlio effect that n conflagration wan rnuinir
there. Dayton is informed that half a dozen
shanties on the beach ut the extreme south
ern of the Island were nil that burned. The
damage cannot bo very great.
Communication was also had indirectly
this afternoon with Sea Isle City. Postmas
ter Chester , of thut place , made his way to
the main land und reports things in very bad
shape thorc. J'ho sea wall , which was built
to protect the place from the sea , has been
destroyed. About llftecn houses were
washed away. Including the Nowlund
house , the Star house and Shakcpoant
hotel. The Continental hotel , which wus
thn largest and most important hotel there ,
is nil right. The excursion house and surf
house are said to bo in danger to-night.

umns supporting the porches at the hotels
and cottages have been washed away. Doors
and windows are broken and furniture is

were breaking to iho second story of the
Atlantic hotel and Congress hull , and huge
waves were running through tlio hotel six
feet duap. Furniture is floating in the
rooms. There is not a vestige of u bath
housu at the beach. The life saving station
wus dnmnged and the crew were preparing
to desott it last night.
A special train was sent over last night to
rescue tlio dwellers on iho beach. The work
was accomplished by a largo number of
stout men joining hands and wading through
the wuter waist deep. They brought the
women lo thu curs ono by one , seated on
their joined hands. In this way all wcro
saved. It was n perilous undertaking und
several times the rescuers were knocked
down. Mr. Stocltes. ono of Iho rescuing

In the Cronlu Ulul to-day was a heated con

Judge MeConnoll'a ruling us to Juit how far
n juror's prejudice against the Clan-nu-Gaol
would effect his competency.
Sydney Hrlggd , nn intelligent farmer of
llumboldt , O. , wus porfuctly competent in
all ether respects , but ho had expressed an
objection to tno Clnn-na-Guol society.
"Tho evidence in this case , " said Mr. For -
rest , of the defense , "will probably show
that 901110 of these defendants are member *
of the Clan-nu-Gaol society. It U likely also
that both sides will present wit
nesses who nro also members of that.
society. Now would you refuse to credit
thu evidence of a witness merely because ho
was a member uf that society t"
"I do not think 1 could give that credence
to his testimony which I could to that of a
man who had no conncotlon with It. "
"Would you require corroborative toUl-
timonyl"
"Yes. "
The Court It will bo the duty of the
jurymen to decide the evidence hoard hero
in the court , nnd upon the law. Do you
moan to say that because a man came hero
whom the tcsllmonv disclosed wus a member
of apaillculur society you would discredit
his ovldeneol
"If the interests of the society wore not
involved , I do not suppose 1 should. "
The Court Do you bolluvo in this case
you could render n fair und Impartial ver
dict , upon the law and thu evidence , regard
less of any opinion you mnv havu formed or-
any prejudice you mnv entertain t
"Yes , I should decide It upon Ihu law nnd
the evidence as I view it. "
Mr. Forrest Hut In coming to that ver
dict which yon cull u fair and impartial ver
dict , I understand you lo say you -.vonla
dlsercdil Iho leslimony given by these wit
nesses )
"Yes sir , I should require it to bo corrob
orated. "
The Court I believe this mnn whan ho
says ho can render a fair und impartial ver
dict nnd Ihat ho will take tlio law from tho-
court.
Hy Mr. Forrest After what the court has
said to you , do you still say you would dis
credit Iho wiluess called on behalf of Iheso
men merely because llioy may bo nieuibers-
of the Clan.uaiuct society *
"I do not suy thut I piiuuld discredit them
entirely , but 1 should not give their evidence.
Uio s.irao credcnco I would lo Ihat given by a ,
mnn who was not n member of the society. "
Mr. Forrest I want to lind oul how much ,
you would discredit Iheir testimony t
"As I said , I would not place the same do-
pomlenco upon a witness If. Iho sociuly wna
in question us I would upon'uvitnoss who In.
not a member of the eocioty. 1 should believe -
liovo thut there was a bias in his case. "
Mr. Forrest Wouldr you regard the evi
dence ho gave with suspicion !
"Yes , because I understand that most se
cret societies are oath-bound. "
Mr. Forrest I renuw the challenge.
The Court I overrule H , nnd do s > o because-
I do not legally Know lime Ihoro will bu any
such evidence.
Mr. Forrest I urn willing to bo sworn In
this case and to suy that wu cannot make a.
successful delense unless we call touio mem
bers of that society as witnesses.
The Court This man's opinion is con
ditional , entirely. Ho says if tliero is un.
oath-bound society which is Involved he will
not bo disposed to credit Iho evidence. ( To
tliu juror. ) Suppose u man uomcu tiuon the
stand bore and it appeared incidentally that
hu is n member ot tliu Clan tin-Gael society ,
or some oilier society , do you proposu lo dis
credit his uvidoncuf
"No , I do not ; union outside mutters un

should not discredit him ut all. "
The Court If some member of the organ
isation known ns the Clan-na-Gacl should.
cumu und tcsClfy to facts tending to show
that thcao men uru innocent , would you dis
credit the evidence ?
"No , 1 do not think I should unless It la
some wuy affected the society primarily. "
The Court Tlio court cun not assume for
a moment that the interests of the Clun-na-
Gaul society is In any way involved in this.
controversy or thut. it will so appear.
Mr. Forrest One of the issues of this
case is us to whether tliero was u conspiracy
in ono of the camps of Iho organisation.
Mr. Hynes , of Iho prosoculion Among
some members of Iho camp , and not thut tlio
wholu camp bv any moans is guilty of crime.
I wish this point to bo very clearly und em
phatically understood.
The Court The juror says that unless tno >
Interests of the organization are at sluko ho
will assume tliut iho witnesses on the other
side who may testify and who are mombora
of thnt organization are as good as any ether
wltnossec. The court can not nssiimo that
the organization will bu involved.
Mr. Hyncs , emphatically The organiza
