Special to TUB Hni ! . | However much
they may endeavor to attenuate the results
last Sunday's elections , the conservatives
nro fain to admit that the majority
In the next chamber of deputies will
bo republican. As ttio pnmo object of
the campaign undertaken by thu committee
of twelve had been to destroy that majority
It Is clear that the loaders of the conserva
tive party have met with n crushing defeat.
Some conservative papers seek to cover the
disaster. The cause they represent has suf
fered by declaring that there will bo a ma
jority In favor of revulon in the now cham
ber.
ber.This
This assertion cannot bo taken for gnspel
truth In nny onso. Even If there bo a rcvls
ionnt majority It would necessarily Include
radicals such us Floquot nnd Clemcncouu.
Floauot and Clcnicnccnu allied with royal ,
isto , imperialists nnd Lloulangir.tsl We should
scarcely bollovo It even If wo saw it. The
wisest thing the conservatives can do is to
abandon all hope of thu constituent assembly
for at leant four years to coma and make the
best they can of the republic In the mean
time.
time.Hope , however , h eternal. When ono is
dashed ruthlessly to the ground ho is forth
with animated by another. Thus , they bo
llovo that , thanks to the strife of parties , it
will bo found necessary to dissolve the
chamber. This , In our opinion , is chimerical.
The history of llio last chamber proves that
It Is possible. How the government Is to got
along , is not nltbgcthor the question. Somo-
llow With the support of the majority and In
the midst of continual crises , the republican
deputies , moro than ever taught by exper
ience , will sink their differences , when It is
absolutely necessary for thorn to do so.
The. conservatives have two roads open be
fore them. They may continue tlio policy o :
opposition to the knife , their polltlquc do
boucnn , to use the parliamentary word. M ,
do Cussagnno advises thorn to do this , ami
argues that good may spring from an excess
of 111 , though recent history contradicts him.
Another road is open to the conservatives ,
ono likely to lead their steps through pleas
ant places , and In fact to bo moro in conformity
mity with the Interests of the conservative
cause than that to which M. Oo Cassagimo
would lead them , nnd there Is nothing to
prevent them from following it instead of
wnr to the kinfo on tho'republican policy.
Why should noHhu conservatives follow that
course pursued in the senate by M. Huffet
or M. do AudllTro-Pasquler } Instead of wast
ing their strength in futtlo efforts to de tioy
, io 'constitution , why should not they unite
with the moderate republicans to defend thu
real interests of the conservatives ) Why , in
a word , should they not bo truly conserva
tives )

LONDON , Sept. aJ. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to Tin : Hue. I Moro than
once reference was made in the Herald lust ,
July to the fact that the corporation of the
city of London d.ld not proffer a xvcdding
pift to Princess Louise of Wales on tlio occa
sion of her uiurriugo to the Duke of Fife. It
Boomed extraordinary thut the richest cor
poration in the richest city of the world
should not pay the customary attention to an
event , the principle character in which was
the oldest daughter of the Prince of Wales ,
where the rest of the world displayed an
unusual amount of Interest. The Herald
oven suggested that if only llio raid comfort
of mi. address HliouUl represent the wedding
gift of thocorporationsuchan address should
bo ( inclosed In a suitable casket , at least ,
nnd not In an oaken chest. The corporation
lln ally decided that its wcddlncr present
Buouhl be n congratulatory address. It de
cided at Guild Hull yesterday that the address
should bo enclosed In a casket worthy In
every way of the traditions of the coporation
for loyalty and mugnlUceuco.

such action bo taken as will rovlvo tbo
American'merchant marine , and one from
thu Kansas City delegation which wanted

WASIIINGTO.V , U. O. , Sept , 20. \
The publication of Commissioner Ti\nnor's '
'confidential" ' letter to Private Dalzell , of
Ohio , was talked about In Washington to
day , but was n , surprise to no one , and con
tained no cow In formation. It will rccolvo
no reply from any odlclal quarter.
It is well understood that some gentlemen
directly interested would have the soldiers
bollovo that Commissioner Tanner's retire
ment was on account of his liberal construe-
tlon of the law and the now rules , making it
casior to procure now or Increase old pen
sions. It Is wall known In Washington in
every quarter that this Is not true In the
least possible dogroo. Your correspondent
had a talk with Secretary Noble this after
noon in regard to Mr. Tanner's ' intimation
that his ( the commissioner's ) order for
a re-rating of pensions below f4
a month up to that amount and his order
placing the testimony of a private soldier on
the sanio footing with that of an ofllcer wcro
the cause of his trouble in the department.
Secretary Noble would not spenl : for publica
tion , us ho will not engage in a controversy
with n subordinate or any ether ofllcor , and
is averse to Interviews and newspaper state
ments generally in times lilio this.
Shortly the report of the committee that
investigated Mr. Tanner's ofllclal acts
and the conduct of his ofllco nnd of the em
ployes under him will In full llnd Its way to
the public ana that will explain all.
lit can bo stated that tno orders referred to
in the Dalzuil lotor by Tanner had
no relation whatever to the retirement
of the commissioner. They were never referred -
forrod to by either the president or the sec
retary of the interior in their several talks
with the commissioner in which tha manage
ment of the pension oflleo was discussed ,
the utterances of Mr. Tanner and various
other things distastctul to the administra
tion nnd Injurious to the public sorvlco were
referred to. Neither were nny of the orders
of the commissioner discussed by the presi
dent and the secretary of the Interior vvhero
the management of the pension ofllco was by
them alone discussed. .
The Incompatibility of the commissioner
as n manager of the pension olllce was lo
cated , so far us the objections to him from
his superior oWcors were concerned , away
from all general orders.
This much can bo said authoritatively :
The letter to Ualzcll will have no effect un
less it is to mislead those who do not under
stand the real Issue as it. exists and as it
will presently appear.
It is stated that Private Dalzall is a regular
contributor to the democratic ncwap.ipur at
St. Louis which published the letter to-day ,
and that It was received in the sumo way
mid on thu same terms us other contributions
from him.

UI5.NOUNCISO SOUTIIEHN OUTllAOKS.
There was a largo meeting hero last night
where a number of speeches were made on
the southern outrages. Among tlio speakers
were J. M. Townscnd , of Klchuionu , hid. ,
the newly appointed recorder of the general
land ofllco. Air. Townscnd made his llrst
speech before a Washington uudlonco. Ho
said that before ho came to the meeting ho
had been advised not to say anything , Ho
had it Intimated to him that ho might jcouur-
dlzc his ofilce. The man who had spoken to
him did not know to whom he was talking ,
"Like Moses. " ho continued , " 1 would rather
suffer the nflilctions of my people than hold
ofllco for a season. "
This statement was received with deafening -
ing uppluuso.
"If there is a man I despise and love to
bate it Is a negro who Is trying to get away
from his race , " said Mr. Townsend. Tlio
npplauso hero was louder and moro pi o-
longed than bofore.
"If tny holding ofllco dononas upon my
Keening still about the wrongs of my people
I will hand In my resignation before mid
night. "
With this as nn Introduction , Dr. Town-
sand proceeded to arraign the south and the
southern people for their treatment of the
negro. He was particularly severe in his
denunciation of Stuto Senator Ginln , of
Georgia , who has recently been denouncing
the negro.
"In dialing that the negro is n vagubond , "
ho said , "Senator Gibus is a liar , and my ud-
dross is the land ofllco. "
Ho also said that if the southern people
did not discontinue their high handed out
rages the colored people would rlso up in
their might and strike the blow for tholr
second emancipation ; that if the government
did not protect him bolter than intlin past ho
would Ktav at homo and look af tor his wlfo
and b.iulcs rather than fight for IU Hug
again.

Itts known that tha report takes up each
ro-ratlng case separately uad each case Is au

that Deputy Commissioner illram Smith ,
Jr. , received over $0,000 ns a
re-rating , This action of his comes infer
for severe criticism in the report.
Whether Smith has returned this fti.OOO or
not the rupert dons not state. Smith ro-
cctvcs his pension nt the Topcka agency.
Secretary Noble , in view of the report of tlio
commission , hns himself questioned Mr.
Smith us to the facts attending ro-rating.
The report also condemns Squires , especi
ally for his notion in making the cases espe
cial. It states that Squires , possessed tlio
stamp of Tanner as commissioner and nlllxcd
it to papers without the commissioner's
knowledge. The number of such cases a
very largo number is given , and Commis
sioner Tanner Is criticised for his careless
ness In thus intrusting his olllcial preroga
tive to a moro private secretary who violated
the conlldenco reposed in him.
The names of pension ofllco oftlotals who
caused themselves to bo rcratod form a con

A SON'S C

CHICAOO , Sept. 20. ( Special Telegram to
Tnn 13nil A sensation was created In the
Insane court this morning by tho' discovery
of a conspiracy to commit to the insane asy
lum n perfectly sane man.
It was the case of Aaron Youls , and the
court continued the case for ono week for
investigation.
Youts , the man charged with Doing insane ,
too It the stand and told his own story in an
intelligent way , that had its weight with the
Judge.
"Your honor , " said he , "I Hvont4nn Ash
land avenue , with my wife nnd family. A
few days ago my son Mnoison came to mo
nnd asked mo to sign certain papers , which
would mortgage my prcpurty , in order that
he might obtain money enough to set himself
up in the grocery business. I refusedand ho ,
becoming enraged , struck mo on the
head. I then swore out a warrant
for the boy's arrest , cbarging him with an
assault. The case was to have uomu up before -
fore a Justice of the peace today , but a few
days ago Madison had mo sent to thfi deten
tion hospital , saying I wus Insano. This won
done in order that 1 might not appear against
him , and the fact that ho is not hero to-day
only goes to provo what I say to bo true. "
The old gentleman , everybody thought ,
certainly did not nppoar to bo insane , and
the attendants at thu hospital sav they are
inclined to believe his story.
"I think , " said ono of the attendants ,
"that there may bo something wrong in this
case , for tlio son in talking to mo said some
things that were not exactly in accordance
with his llrst story , The ofllcor. too , who
was from the Town of Lake , sum when ho
brought Mr. Youts hero that ho had
his doubts about the man's Insan
ity. So In vlow of thcso facts
and the general conduct of the man I am per
suaded all Is not us It should bo In this
case. "
Dr. Dodd said ho could not say nnythlnt ;
about Youts' mental condition , as ho had not
yet examined the man.
Attendant Uurle , who received Mr. Youts
when ho wits brought in , said : "I don't '
think myself that the man Is Insano. Ho
hasn't shown any signs and has beer quiet
slneo ho was brought hero. His son's not
appearing this morning makes mo put still
moro fulth In the old man's story , I rcmem-
bor now the policeman who camn with bun
took mo to ono sldo and told ma ho didn't
believe tha man was Insane , hut I did not
pay any attention to him nt the tlmo , Ho
certainly has a black eye and a cut on his
ncad and ho says his son struck him. "
Youts will have to remain ut the hospital
until his case Is heard , unlois some ono goes ,
to the troublu of getting him out on a writ of
habeas corpus ,
