'JO.-Now ( York Herald CaWo-S , ecInl to Tin : Hii-I : : ] have Just nnd nn Interview with the Uolglaii lieu- tenamit , llaort , who was Tippoo Tib's secre tary at the time of llio Kmlti roller expedi tion. Ho was n frequent visitor nt Ilartelofs camp , and was president of the Stanley. Falls court-martial which tried Sanga , Hartlclot'S murderer. Lieutenant IJncrt says that Stan ley's statement that any Kngllsh Jury would linvo acquitted Sanga scorned to bo nn lm- l achin < ! iit of the court-martini's fairness. During tlio trial SaiiRii himself alleged no other motive for murdering Harttelot than tlmt Hnrtteliit disturbed during llio night of July IT by the Mnnyciiu musical revels , which ho imd strictly forbidden , discovered that tlio noise mndo by Sungn'a wife and raised his HIIck against her , whereupon Sauna , in un premeditated linger , thrust n gun against Dnrttelol's breast nnd fired. llo wns so close thnt Durttelot's clothes were found to bo burned on Ids body , 'ibis was the ver sion of nu eye witness , corroborated Uy Saiig.i himself. The savage needed no stronger motive than tho' aforesaid slight provocation to murder Harttelot , became ho expected thnt , according to Mtmyuna cus toms , ho would not bo Bonte.iccd lo moro than n pecuniary penalty for taking another man's life. This impression was no much Ingrained in Snnga's mind llmt when ho learned that ho was really going to bo shot ho shrieked nnd swooned. "llnert adds that 'this is n truthful account ot the trial , ns recorded by myself , fellow Judges , and Captains IIaiiroii.se unit Uodhon , embodied In an onu-iul report which can bo found in tlio Congo state's arc/Ulvcs. Stan ley's insinuations that Sanga was impelled by greater and fouler provocations may rest upon secret rcpoits which he probably be lieved true , but which nro shown to bo false by Sunga's own confession. Among Ids own Kuropean officers Harttelot had enemies who may easily , Hartlclot being dead , have black ened his character. Ono thing , however , must bo said in all Justice , liarttelot , al though ho was n real gentleman and plendld officer , who carried bravery to il pitch of recklessness , was greatly disliked because of his ill-temper , Impatience , and Intolerance towards ttio natives and nrubs. I witnessed nil his negotiations with Tippoo Tib regarding reinforcements promised by tlio Intlcr to Mr. Stanley. Ho constantly spoiled them by his lutractnblo elinrnr.tcr , and thereby really brought about his own disasters. Ouco his own nfllccrs slept with their revolvers under their pillows , fearing each other , llurllelot having set them nil at loggerheads. It l.s also yvhjspcred that Hnrtlelot had excited the nngtr of his black-following * by having somo" of them shot for slight offenses between Viimbuyn and linmilyn the day before the murder. I will not vouch for the truth of the laltcr report. It is perfectly trtio than Stun- Icy himself would certainly have overcome all ililllcultles lo which Harttelot succumbed through iinpotuoiimiess. \ "As a matter of fact , Harttelot know Ids unpopularity and foresaw his futo. Ho spoke of It with magulllcent courage and coolness. Dining with mo nt Stanley Falls Just before ntiirtlng to Join Stanley , ho said : 'These are the hist pancakes 1 shall over oat. I nm doomed to bo killed. " I nskcd : 'WhyJf don't you carry n revolver instead of u simple slick } ' 'He- cause I shall surely bo shot or stabbed from r behind ; therefore n revolver Is useless. ' Weighing all this , it Is certain that Stanley- cm ! Kuln nothing by liiiucuehlng Harttclot's honor , alt hough ttio report furnished to him liy Trotip Houuy or others may lead him to bcllovo In good fullli Unit ho can. " l.Ieutenunt Haert believes that Stanley's statement , thai ho could by revolutions blast others' reputations , must bo an allusion to the extraordinary churgo brought against Jnmlcson , Harttclot's dead friend , namely , that tit Kassoiigo.lamleson purchased a black boy and encouraged the Muuljcnms to kill nnd cat him simply for the pleasure of wit nessing cannibalism. Haert does not believe n single word of this story , nltliuuuh Jiimlo- son's sketch book contained sketches of can nibalistic practices ; but ho Klvcs this as n in-obablo explanation of Stanley's assertions. Ho believes , nevertheless , that Stanley's greatness nud reputation will not bo de tracted from by this painful controversy. Stanley Heor ; d hy Troiiii * . BOSTON , Mass. , Oct. 20. [ Special Telegram to Tin : HmIn addition to whnl was printed nscutiiiig from Mr. Koso Troupe , of the Stanley expedition , on charges made by Mr. Stanley against the into Mr. Hartlott , Mr. Troupe says Mr. Stanley has seen lit to specify to things which Major Hartlot did which called forth ccnsuro from him. Ono wns the shooting of Zanzibar , a porter , for stealing meat , and another for flogging n Soudniio.se soldier for the sumo breach of dis cipline. Is'ow Stanley hns lliat nil mixed , the Soudanese soldier was shol for desertion nnd for stealing a gun mid ten rounds of am munition. The eoldlcr was courtmartlalcd nnd shot by Ids own comrades.

Ho was selected by Stanley mid I Itcltenito my ch'irpo ' that Mr. Stanley Is pri marily responsible fornny blunders made. Air. Stanley Is a great explorer , bill ho went lute this for fame nnd for what ho could get out of It. Ho hns no moro phllaiithropliy than my boo. 1 will go farther nud say that thu expedition was In the nature of a speculation und not a philanthropic or relief movement Capitalists who bucked It wore lifter Ivory which Kinlii 1'uslm was supposed to hu.'c collected , The oftleers of the expedition had promises of a certain share of tiio big supply of Ivory wblcli was expected , as a reward foi their services.

Mexico I'liices a Prohibitory Duty on Aincrionn Cuttle. K.vvsvsCirv , Mo. , Oct. 20.-Thero is con siderable excitement today -among Kansas City stockmen relating to advices received from Mexico to the effect that that country has placed a duty of .jo'-'O per car on American catllo. If the advices are Iruo this practi cally ruins all live stock trade between this country and Mexico. The net of the Mexican govcrniicnt Is regarded herons n rctnllatlvo one , precipitated by the fear that the Mexi cans have of the McKinlry bill. Many cars of American cattle arc now on the Mexican borders. It has been rumored among the .stockmen of this city the past few days that the Mexican government was contemplating : a move of this kind , but there was thought to bo nothing In it until dispatches were re ceived from agents today apparently continu ing the reports , / Superintendent Chllds of the stock yards Is not sure that the duty will bo prohibitory , bccitise the Mexican people will bo obliged to purchase cattle and hoj.-s and may yet bo obliged to pay the advanced rates.

BLAIXE SPEAKS IN INDIANA , Despite the Bad Weather a Great Crowd Gnats Him at South Bond , RECIPROCITY AND THE TARIFF DISCUSSED , The Former Policy \ \ 111 Ultimately llrln the NatloiiH ol * the Aniprloaii Continent Close Together. Sot-Tit Hiivn , Ind. , Oct. 20. James ,1. HIninu reached hero today at noon und was tauun lo Hie homo of James Oliver for lunch. Snow was on Iho ground nnd rain falling when ho arrived , so there were only a few who ventured out to meet the distinguished statesman. Notwithstanding the disagreeable weather a great cro'.vd of people was in town and nil that could possibly crowd into Iho rink as sembled and gnvo Mr. Hluliio a grand recep tion. Mr. Hlutuo suys there Is no subject so continuously misrepresented In this country as the tariff. Ho would discuss no particular section of llio McKlnley bill , but called the ullcnllon of Iho people to the fact tliut today they own their prosperity in a larger degree to the syslem of protection than any other law over passed by congress. The democratic papers nro talking .1 great deal about the advance in prices iitri tlto oil- iression of the poor man. Under the last .rce . t'riule tariff , which ended in 1SHI , tl'o looploVaid moro for everything that entered nto tliclr living and household oxpetses than today , yet the whole country Is re sounding with ' .he appeals of the democratic iartv lo vote ncalnst the republicans for ' 'miking high prleos. During the twenty-nine vears of the protective policy the tendency of irices for luxuries and necessities has been steadily downward. "If protection docs semi mi eh for the individual you have a fur grander subject to contemplate whou you look nt the aggregate progress of the ounlry under that sv.stem. There is no country on the u'lobo wlioso progress can omparc with ours. Wo have moro railways limn nil the continents and islands In llio world. Nearly live-sixths of these roads iinvo been built slnco tlio republicans have lieen In power. I use this sitnuly as an illns- tratlon , because It is the largest single inter est wo havo. During the twenty-nine years of protection wo have considerably moro tlnin loubled llio population of llio country , Wo liuvo acquired wealth despite tlio the strain on the people of paying the expenses of the bloody civil war n sum almost Incalculable. When a man says to you that you are in- lured and pinched in your daily living In consequence of this laritT , ask him if you did not pay moro for things under free trade than you do now I think tins a good question to put lo every democrat. Con gress has taken another stop and vindicated the reputation of the republican party , which is always ready to step forward. I call you to witness that all the great movements of advancement that have been made , all the great stops taken In lids country have been taken by tlio republicans , while the democrats shouted , "You can't do it. " I Loud cheers. ) Mr. Hlaino then went on lo discuss reci procity. "For a lime , " ho said , "llio repub lican party was divided on It. That showed they were reasoning men , In duo tlmo they became solid for it. When the republicans wore divided oil a question tlio democrats wore unanimous for It , but Just as soon as the republicans became unanimous you couldn't got a democrat to vote for It at nil. If the democrats had n peed idea the republicans would slat'd by thorn , but the democrats wont stand by ns unless the republican party- is divided. I do not call that wisn financier ing or patriotic conduct. Wo should not divide when the prosperity of the country is involved. An American is u prc.it ( leal bigger man tlmii cllhor a democrat or repub lican. Any democrat or any republican makes himself smaller If ho will stand in the wav of American progress because it may harm his party. Norout ( re- "iilts can coino from that. The republics of this continent should bo brought closer lo- KOther , and when wo can help thorn and they help us it is business to do so. Reciprocity Is bringing these nations closer together , and I believe thnt In the next two years wo can open to the farmers of the Cnlted States a market of : i."i,000OOU of people in addition to what wo now have. It Is a greater step of progress than Iho democratic party has taken in the lust llfty years. These uro simple facts find not theory. " In conclusion Mr. Hlaino said : "Wo want , tlio republicans of Indiana united , to stand together us they did on the field of battle during the time of the war. Indiana is one of tlio lighting slates. You are trained In political lighting ; vou have never had an easy going olcellon since I can remember mid Ibis tlmo , fellow-republicans , stand together and cnrrv it to the bitter end. You want to win this issue , for if you stand up other status will bo stronger. Indiana has given strength to this country In its president nnd nho should not go back In n single degree on the president who sits In Iho executive chair.
