atbloto , will not go to Chicago to nssutm
charge of the department of athletics in the
new university. Stagg himself Is reportot
ns having snld that ho had received

probably accept it. The establishment of n
department of athletics Is Included in tin
scheme and this , according to the report , will
bo carried out by the faculty ns soon as thoj
receive formal acceptance from Stagg. It I :
said that Slagg's ' work in coaching Yale's

was satisfied she could do hotter and today
ho drove her a square mile In 2:2.4 : ' , boating
her world's record of

the clip that she has gone in all her fast
miles. She went under the wire strong nnd

She was sent again , and went to the half in
Ttno same time , 1 :07 : , but broke on the finish ,
going under the wire in a run. The
time was 2ll : ! , but It was not made
ofllcial because of the running.
Monbars , the famous eastern 2-ycar-ola
colt by Kaglo Bird , was driven by Starr

Ho P.iyn Homo Attention to Sulla-
Iniry's lJtttaiiucs.
LONDON , Nov. 23. Mr. Gladstone was to
day n participant In the exorcises attending
the formal opening ( if n recreation hall at
Port Sunlight , neat Blrkenhoaa. "The
ambiguities of the position of the so-called
'liberal-unionists' were not lifted , " he said ,
"tho lost shred of tholr pretext of liberalism
has boon removed by Lord Hnrtington's
frankness. This loft the battle to bo man
fully , and good humorcdly ho hoped , fought
out between liberals and lories. And now
that the Hold was cleared for notion , ho
might say that the liberals had no reason to
shrink from the fight. "
Heferring to Lord Salisbury , Mr. Glad
stone said that while affecting sympathetic
consideration of the Newcastle program ho
bad tried to swamp the "Ono man vote"
question in the larger separate ques
tion of woman suffrage. Ho condemned parish
councils altogether. That was his sympa
thetic consideration of the program. Then
ho cited the tendency of nations to centralize ,
us an argument against prantinir
homo rule to Ireland. Ho said the
unity ol Spain was 400 years old.
"Lord Salisbury might just as well have
cited the union of the seven kingdoms of
England with the hierarchy. vVhon ho was
a voting man all the colonies were governed
in Downing street. Since then all the col
onies had boon given local autonomy nnd in-
llnltely more than Ireland had asked for , yet
their hearts beat warmly in unison with the
mother country.
Lord Salisbury had talked of coming massacre -
sacro and cruelty in Ireland. Did such pre
dictions proceed from the brain of the
premier or did ho hear them in bedlam )
They wore certainly mueli worthier of the
latter than the former. Ho was like a silly
nursemaid who , when unable to pacify a
child by rational means , tried to frighten it
by stories of hobgoblins. " [ Laughter and
clieors.J
Spoakingfurthor Mr. Gladstone dealt at
length with the labor question. To his | Glad
stone's ] mind there were no causes for alarm
as to the future of the workingman. Ho did
not believe that thorn would bo a permanent
iipht between capital and labor , because ho
believed in the good sense and
good feeling of both parties. The
prpblom could bo solved , not by
magld or mathematics , but'Dy a sound civil ,
secular nnd Christian feeling , and respect
for actual rights. Only within a few
years had the labor party beco.iio
strong. The system of profit sharing
was most attractive ns nn adjustment ,
but there came the question of how it
was to bo adjusted In those
years in which there was a loss Instead of a
profit , fn any case It was most important to
give the laborer the same Interest in the pro
duction ns the capitalist. To this end ho
looked with confidence , in view of the good
disposition displayed on each side.
"
Much might bo" hoped from co-operative ,
distribution and production towards u solu
tion of the problem , because this would glvo
the laborer the same position nnd feeling us
the capitalist.
In an eloquent peroration Mr. Gladstone
appealed to employers to give the workers , oo-
sldos an increase of wages and a decrease of
hours , n sense of common feeling with tholr
employers : to establish a brotherhood of man
and inun ; to IOOK to the heart nnd conscience
as well ns to the appetite and ambition for a
solution of these difficulties -nuovo all to
look to the provldonco that shapes our ends
and recollect the sncrod words , "Behold how
good and pleasant a thing It is for brethren
to dwell together in unity "

PAIIII , Nov. 20 , Pursuing throughou
Franco un inquiry Into thu onoratloti of th
McKlnley tariff hill similar to thut tlio ro
suits of which In Urnat Britain and German !
have already boon publlshoJ , the Assoclutoi
press bos obtained the varied mass of In
formation which U here presented ,
A.I n lilting prelude to tno consumers' re
ports mid the exporters' stntatnunts , nn Inter
vlow was hud with Mr. Wlilloluw Hold , the
'United States minister , In the course ol
which ho salil :
"When you como to analyze carolully you
will find that most of the outcry in Franc ,
against the McKlnloy tariff .should really bo
directed against the administrative hill
Many of the most Important French .Indus
trios have not boon affected In the slightest
degree by our now tarllf.
"The administrative bill , however , has com
pelled , In many cases , much higher vnlun
tior.s than hlthorto prevailed and this for i
tlino has doubtless deranged the operation !
of some exporters ; whllo the now formalities
nud more rigid on forcomcnt of the legal ro
quiremoiits at the consulate.- ) have at flrst
pro voiced a great deal of discontent ant
cmnplalnt.
"A year ago , In answer to constant com
plaints about the McIClnloy bill , I assured
the minlstor of foreign affairs that Franco
was really leas affected by It than any of its
chief European rival * . Judging from the de
bates in the sonata the other day , the govern ,
inont Is now thoroughly coavlncod of this
fact. Yea will see thut M. Ulbot , minister
of foreign affairs , said distinctly that It , n
Englnnil and Germany that have been moat
affected , while France has boon relatively
protected. "
M. Jules Ilocho , minlstor of commerce , ad
ded his assurance that M. Ulbot was per
fectly right.
"His true , " ho said , ' -that the duties on
most of the Important exports from France
have not boon sufllcieutly advanced to destroy
the trauc , although the oxporUUions of such
articles us the United States can manufac
ture arc certainly somewhat checked. ' 1 here
is no such advances , however , in the McKln-
loy bill as In the Kronen tariff voted last
summer by the chamber , and now In proeois
of being Increased by the senate. This tariff
shows ropaatortly oa articles of prime neces
sity an advance of 200 or 300 per cent over ex
isting duties. "
Jinn Not Affected the Silk Industry.
Mr. Francis B. Loornls , consul at St.
Etienne says : "Tho MelCinlcy bill has not
affected this part of Franco , where silk is the
chlof Industry , fir the reaion that the duties
on the class of silk goods most largely Im
ported were not changed by the now
tariff law to any apuroclablo ox-
tent. The exportatlons from this
consalar district have diminished
within the past year about 40 per cent , not
on account of hiphur duties , but because ribbons
bens , which are the loading articles of ex
port , are not the mode at , present. Another
Important article of export troin my dis
trict is line kid gloves madeat
Grenohlo. Certain grades of gloves wore
affected considerably.by tlio now tariff law
mid the exportation of them has almost
ceased. The obstacto to the glove trade is
not the duties themselves , but the rather
cumbersome and uncertain methods of circu
lating them. From this consular district
there will not bo fewer than four
manufacturers of certain articles which
are affected by the tariff to a
considerable degree , who will establish fac
tories In the United States. If the duties of
the McKinley law are maintained at their
present level Franco will doubtless lese a
number of enterprising employers of labor in
the Industrial line , who will find larger
proilts and lighter taxes in the United
States. "
Mr. Edmund B. Fairehlld , consul at
Lyons , say * : "Tho exportation of sillc and
cotton dress goods has largely fallen off
during the hut year , while that of silk and
woolen goods has largely increased. Thus ,
while the tariff on the former re
mains as before , the latter pays u much
higher duty than formerly. Those and com
parisons of a similar character leutl no ; to
the conclusion that the problem is n very
complex one , involving inora than one un
known quantity , the mutter of thu tariff being
only one , and olten the least sigpillcant. "
Slopped tlio i-v : per tat ion ofVoDl. .
Mr. W. P. Hatwcll , commercial agent at
Uoubaix , says : "Tho rocctit tariff has
stopped tlio exportation of wool to the United
States almost entirely. It is almost impos
sible at the present to judge of the effect of
the tariff on certain dress goods , as the
American market wasovoiiitocked with these
goods , both dyed nnd in the grain , prior to
the date when the act came into effect. "
Mr. William Spccton , consul at Cognac ,
says : "Tho exports from this district have
fallen off a coed deal in the la&tycar , whether
from the increase jf duties or not I do not
know. "
Speaking of the effects of the McKinley
tilll on tbo exportation of works of art from
Franco to the United States , Mr. liens
Yuladnna , the head of the celebrated Goupil
: ompany , states : "Although wo have not
suffered ourselves , almost every trade Is
suffering , and , as a business tnani I should
like to express the opinion that the McKtnloy
bill will cause great trouble to America as
tvell as to Franco. "
M. Leouoldtl , the largest oxuorter of
Buttons nnd trimmings , believes that the ex
portation of best goods In Ills line has not
suffered from the McKinley law.
M. Lofobvr , president of the Chamber of
Manufacturers of Dry ( foods , says : "Hither-
: o wo have not felt any proJiidLcal results
irislng from the working of the McKinlov
: ariff , but we fear that within the next
iwolvo mouths there will bo a great falling
) ff In our exports to the United States. "
M. Lemontro , one of the largest exporters
) f fancy dry goods , statedThe : trade in
'auey goods has already suffered enormouslv
'rom the McKinley bill , which win imvo H
leplorablo effect on the relations of Franco
vllh thu American nation.

Cinloy hill. "

M. Dolsleb , president of the Chamber of

tlllllnorr Ornaments , stated : "Tho flowers
ind feathers trade proper remains with the
u'no llguru as before the passage of the Mc-
viulo.v bill. "
M Charles , thn big exporter of the above
'lass ' of articles , declared : "Tho .McKinloy
) lll has reduced thu exportation of milliners'
iccojsurles by at lemt-IO per cent , "
Uraun & Co. said : "Wo have not yet ox-
icrlenced any great inconvenience from thu
neasuro , but the formalities existing are
onuncnoingto Injure us. The obligations to
iay duty onsumplos sent on approval , for
ixatnplo , photogrnphiu reproductions , helped
o cripple our trade very considerably. "
George Cucnoau , president of the Union
if Bronze Statuary Manufacturers , says :
'The .McKinloy bill did serious Injury to our
ommerco. Wo can do little or nothing com-
oerciully with the United States at thn pros-
int rate of Uiriff. The rise in tariff on bronze
; oods puts an end to that special market for
Vmorlon. "
Ernest Lourlolot , a member of the I'oris

lon , The product of French factories will

They saw such a scone last night nnd , beyond -

The approval of the bond of Henry Bollu ,
city treasurer-elect , caused nil of thu trouble.
The meeting was the regular adjourned
session from last Tuesday night , nud when
President Lowry pounded his desk to convene -
veno the body ton members responded to
tholr names , The bond of Henry Bolln , In
the sum of 81,100,000 , was read , with the

As soon as thu clerk had completed the
reading of the bond Mr. Osthoff moved that
it be approved. The vote was called lor
with twelve memuer present. With the
exception of Messrs. Blumor , Burdlsh and
Morcnrty the members voted "yea. "
This U n H the Signal.
That was the signal for the lirst outburst
of trouble and before the vote was announced
. unnnirod his > from " '
Mr. Chalice vou "yes1' to
"no. " Messrs. Bcchcl and Osthoff followed
su't ' and changed their votes.
Mr. Clmffeo then moved that the vote by
which the bond was rejec'.ed bo reconsidered.
The motion prevailed , nine voting In the at-
tirmative , with Messrs. Blumor. Burdish
nnd Morearity voting "no. "
Mr. Davis demanded a call of the house.
Other members joined in the demand and the
call was ordered , with the sergent-at-arms
instructed to bring on the absentees.
Two burly depjtios were sworn in to prevent -
vent any of the members from escaping and
away the scrgeant-at-arms went upon his
mission.
Mr. Morearty wanted to ho excused. Ho
had important business down town that de
manded his attention , His request , however ,
was refused , and the talking commenced.
Mr. Chaffeo was the lirst member to catch
the eye and ear of the council. Ho said that
tlio council had demanded a bond of Mr.
Bolln In the sum of $1.400,000. Ho had pre
sented such a bond and it was as good as hud
over been given by any city treasurer In the
history of the city of Omaha. II the bond
was to bo killed ho wanted the slaughter by
the full council not by thirteen members.
Mr. Morearity started in on a long speech
full of exclamation points. He berated the
.treasurer and roasted the bondsmen in a
body.
Just then Mr. McLcano one of the
absentees entered the room. Ho took his
accustomed scat and a moment later Mr.
Davis moved to dissolve the cullof the house.
The vote was put and earned while Mr.
Morearty yelled "Hold on , wo want fair piny !
You can't bullilo/o us and wo will stay hero
tilt morning rather than to not have our
rights. "
President Lowry smiled nnd remarked :
"The chair is going to rule. The chair has
ruled and ihc call of the house is dissolved. "
"Be honorable , Mr. President , be fair , "
demanded Mr. Aloreurty.
"That's what the chair intends to be , " re
marked President Lowry with a smile that
caused Mr. Moroarty to turn pale.
.Voro : rly Sn'outn His Victim.
Mr. Moroarty was not I. ) the least winded.
Ho was cocked i > nd primed for a speech and
said that thu council was the highest tribunal
to pass upon the treasurer's bond. lie
wanted to siiy open and above board that
some of the sureties on Henry liolln's bond
WITO not as rich as they had represented
themselves to bo. Ho know that men had
sworn to being worth a certoln amount when
in fact they wore not worth half that amount.
The bond should pass Into the hands of a
committee , that the linancial standing of the
signers could ho investigated. He did not
propose to vote for a bond that might bo a
buy or a straw bond.
Mr. O.sthotf sucposted that the gentleman
from the Seventh ward had failed to name
any signer who hail qualilled for tnoro than
ho was worth. If ho''new ' of such an in
stance it was his duly to inform the council.
There was silence whllo Mr. Osthort
waited to hoar the name.
Mr. Morearty did nnt ronlv , and continuing
Mr. Osthoff said : "Let him name one man
nnd 1 uni with him , hut as long as ho does not
1 shall believe that he is simply giving out
wind and talliing to kill time. "
" 1 am with him also if ho will name one
man and then prove his assertions , " re
marked Mr. Chaffce.
Until then Mr. Blumor had Iteptquiot ,
uut ho was with Mr. Morcurty and chimed ,
"There's John ICrok , who wns quuliiied lor
$100,000 , and everybody knows that he's not
worth that amount. "
Mr. Osthoff was somewhat surprised at
the gentleman from the Ninth , Mr. Blumor.
John Krcl : WHS worth &jo ; > ,00i ) , notwithstand
ing what Mr. Blumor had said. Mr. More-
arty said that lie selected Max Moycr as a
victim. It did not follow that because Max
Meyer had a few brass watches he was rich.
Ho was not worth $10,000 in good cold cash.
It was all sham to say thai Max Mover would
plonk down f50,000 if Henry Bolln absconded ,
lunorant ol' HIISIIICKH MothodH
Mr. Kl.sasser was of the opinion that the
bond was suftlcient. It was the duty to tnko
up and approve tlio bond. If the men were
not worth the amounts for which they had
qualilled , the council could take up thu mat
ter and demand now bondsmen.
Mr. Davis thought tiuiLMr. Morearty had
displayed gross ignorance of business princi
ples. There wus no bunk in Omalia that
could pay its liaDilllio.s if called upon tomor
row. The city was not taking any
chances , us there were two men on
tno bond who were worth the amount.
"Tho gentleman from the Seventh talks
out his constituency,1' said ho. "Why ,
iiUemon , ho has not got any constituency. , "
"What do you moan ! " asked Mr. Moroarty
in an tingry tone. llo then told of the ma
jority that ho had received two yours iiso.
' Yes , " responded Mr. Davis , "but you
could not bo elected dog catcher at this
time.1'
Mr. Moroarty started to reply , when a
member suggested that the gentleman Irom
the Seventh had spulcon twice ami that he
was not entitled to another hearing until all
of thu other members had spoken.
"That is so , " niiiiwerod President uowry ,
who saw un opportunity of stopping the dis
cussion that promised to continue until morn
ing.
ing.Mr. . Moroarty was shut off and another mo-
tlon to npprovo the bond was made. This
wus curried by Iho following vote : Yeas ,
Messrs. Ik'chol , Brunei1 , Chaffec , Davia ,
Donnelly , Klsasser , MuLcnrlo , Osthoff ,
Specht , Tut Hound Mr. President ton ; iwys.
Messrs. Blutucr , Burdlsh and Morosrty

A majority of the entire council having
voted in the afllrmailvo the bond wns de
clared approved. Then the council started
In to do u little regular buslines and It was

A few sewer estimates wcru [ > a od , aftoi
which Mr. Morearty served notlco that th <
bond of ( Icnry Bolln had not bcwu finally dig

of the mayor and n veto wns ono of tin
possibilities. Thd ton members dttl no
show any signs of being frlubtoncd and tin
council adjourned ,
It wns niter adjournment that the fut
catno in , but just how it happened no porsor
on earth will over know , The crown wa ;
surging through the gales that separate the
members from the lobby when n disturbance
wns noticed In the south end of the room ,
Councllmon Specht and Blumor were preparing -
paring to go together n In Sullivan ,
"You itro n liar , " excitedly remarked one
of the combatants.
"And you nro another , " came from the
throat of n councilman.
That , was ubotit all that wns said.
Mr.Blumor reached for Mr. Spccht's
throat. Ho got what ho wont after but just
ns ho got It , Spocht planted n righthander in
Blumer's ' mouth. Blood spurted from n deep
cut Just below Mr , Blumor's lip nnd then
there wns fun.
People leaped upon the desks nnd howled
with delight.
"There's n light nud wo nro In It , " they
yelled. During nil of this time the two men
were clawing vigorously at the air.
Spocht suggested that Blumor's maternal
ancestor wax related to thu canine species.
Bltuner remarked the same thing nbout the
ancestor who gave Specht birth.
"I'm n better man than you , " said Blumor.
"D d if you ore , " answered bpecht.
They proposed to settle It right there , and
the crowd chrcred them op.
They mndo for each other again and went
together. In the melee Specht fell nnd Blu
mor jumped for him. His friends pulled him
baclc.
Just then Morearty nppoaroil on the scepo
and was about to nick him in the face , when
a man In the crowd said : '
"For God's saice , don't luck n man when
ho Is down ! "
. ( nut U hat Ho Wanted.
Moroarty aimed n kirk at Specht's head ,
but It spent Us force on the open air. Ho
had been pulled back so that the No. 10 boot
fell several inches short of hitting Its mark.
E'c-Councllmau lid. O'Connor thought
Moroarty was getting the worst of the fray
and elbowed his way through the crowd to
render assistance. Ho failed to reach the
spot , as ho was caught by the shoulder and
elevated over the rail bv W. A. Grant.
O'Connor was at a loss to know what had
happened. Ho glared at Grant , who nulotlv
remarked , "Kvory man must nave a fair
show horo. "
"Who Is that man I" asked O'Connor.
"He's a tl a whitecap ! " promptly an
swered Moroarty
Grant throw down the gloves nnd Invited
the councilman nnd tho. ex-councilman to
meet him on the carpet. They were about to
accept the invitation when friends escorted
thorn to opposite corners of the room.
All this time Messrs. Specht and Blumor
hud been working up another-
case of mad. They had got it
worked up to a white heat when the Janitor
turned out the lights and thu interior of thu
room was loft in inky darkness
The battle was over. It hud been declared
a draw nnd the contending forces marched
off the lleld , escorted Dy their respective ad
mirer ? . After it was all over it was whis-
porcd upon tlio streets by parties who
claimed to Know , that the trouclo would fur
nish material for another investigation.
Mr. Bolln was asUed why Messrs. Blumor
and Morearty opposed nn approval of his
bond. Ho could not say why they were so
antagonism * . Some time ngo his bank had
held u note against them. It was long past
due , and suit baa been brought to enforce
its collection. Possibly that was the
trouble , but ho uid not think their personal
grievances would swerve them from doing
their ofllcial duty.

CniCArto , 111. , Nov. 23. Probably the most
Intelligent consecutive account yet received
In tbo United States rogardliirf the Chilian
massacre of the men of the Amorldan war
vessel Baltimore , reached hero today in a
private letter from one of the oniccrs on that
now famous cruiser. Thd letter which Is
f ro'ii H. W. Wulls to his father , n prominent
Chicago business man , throws n Hood ol
light upon many points of the tragic affair
Writing under date of October 20 , from
aboard the Haitimoro In Valparaiso harbor ,
the oftlcer says :
"Slnco writing last there nave boon oc
currences hero which nro of the most excit
ing nn t nro , Slnco wo were in Coqtilmho
along in the middle of August , our moil Imvo
had no liberty whatever. The state of affairs
here has been such that It has been believed
unwise to nllow them on shore , and , In conse-
luonce , they have boon kept on board. "Tlio
captain has boon anxious to glvo them a run ,
but feared to do so previous to several day.s
ago.
ago."Before
"Before letting thorn go wo wont lo the
; ) ollco and requested that In case thoroshould
bo any trouble our men should bo protected.
This , I believe , was assured , and on the Kith
the men went ashore during the afternoon
and were soon strolling nbout the streets in
ati orderly manner.
"About ! o'clock of host
i ono our very men ,
a boatswain's mate , had some words with a
Chilian sailor , although no blows or anything
of that sort had boon passed between them.
About this tune another of our men came up
nnd said something , when the Cullian turned
oh nun and spit in his face , and wna promptly
knocked down.
" This precipitated a row , and soon these two
men of ours were surrounded and probably
blows interchanged between them nnd a
crowd consisting of Chilian sailors , rouglis ,
boatmen outnumbering thorn forty to one.
The boatswain's mate was stabbed in the
neck and our other man , fearing n like fate ,
started to run , but was pursued by the mob
and was stabbed. Ho had seven wounds I
think.
Fired on hy tin * Police.
"Meanwhile Kiggin had sunk to the
ground fro-n iho loss of blood and the crowd
had gone awav. Another of our men came
along about this time and picked Hlggln up
in his arms to carry him away , when a squad
uf police , I am Informed , came along and
11 rod at them. Tno shot passed through thu
.shirt of the man who was holding Ulggin ,
piercing KIggln's neck and lodged under his
shoulder blade. The otner man seeing these
brutes stnrting to load again dropped Utg-
gin nnd ran.
"Tho next wo heard of Kiggin Is that ho
was seen in a cart , dying. Some of thu
crowd got up into the cart and said some-
tiling aootit Yunkeo.s , etc. The poor follow
died shortly afterward.
"We have found people who saw the shot
liro'l who say that they could Identify thu
policeman who did it.
About 7 p. m. ono of our men was brought
off , stabbed twice in the back , ono of the
wounds penetrating the lung.
"All that-night this howling mob were
after our men and caught them singly and
brutally beat ami stabbed them.
"An American ship captain saw u mob of
twenty after ono man ; saw him knocked
down and n big rocJt Hung on his l > i vT'--
Is now In the hospital with ajfti jjgjy
thn tuick and ono in the r.-bdotnon ; KB , > J
"We have another man stabbed in the lung
from the back. Ho was arrested and stabbed
from behind while the police were dragging
him to the station. So was tl.b man I men
tioned above with the wound in tlio hack and
abdomen.
"Wo have throe others In the hospital
badly .stabboil. These nro the seriously in
jured. I enclose our sick list shoiilng the
part of the nion who were wounded.
'Wo have a lot of men in jnll who are hold
nobody knows for what.
"Tho whole thing was u brutal and
cowardly act and should receive the atten
tion It deserves , I am sure none of our
boys expected any difliculty , but were
set upon without warning nnd do not
lese sight of the fact that Higgin
was shot by a policeman while probably
dying from the stab wound. Several other
of our men whllo running away 13 save their
lives were cut with swords.

are not to oo allowed to go on shore nnd wo
shall have to depend for our provisions on
some man who will bring them off from the
shore.
"Besides all this , there are a dozen llttlo
things that go to innlco us'hot under the
collar , ' such ns spitting on the Hags of our
boats while nt the landing , etc. , whllo ono of
our men was nicked in thu head while leav
ing the boat.
"Tho night of the disturbance one man was
so hard pressed that ho jumped off the landIng -
Ing and stones were thrown at him wlillo ho
was in the water. When a boat from an
American merchant ship tried to pick him
up stones wore thrown at It and it wns
driven off. The police , from all accounts ,
abutted the whole thing , and this would
make the government responsible.
" 1 enclose the report of the hick after wo
