S»y» the Man Who Makes the Charges
Is a Liar and Hlackgunrd, and That H«
Is IVspared to Hack l"p What He Says.
Will Vcmand a Thorough Investigation
ef tho Whole AflTIdr.
New York, Nov. 12.—A demand will
made by 0. Oliver Iselin upon the
•tip and rapatta committees of the
New York Yacht club for an immediate
iarestig&tion of the charges attributed
♦e Lord Dunraren in the London Field.
Mr. Iselin, as managing director of the
Defender syndicate, has decided to take
*11 responsibility upon himself, and will
Iress the affair to the bitter end.
It is apparent that lie feels keenly the
|!Tront placed upon him, and in discuss-
mg the chargee attributed to Lord Duu-
jjaren ho speaks in no undecided fash-
"The man who makes these charges
|b a liar and a blackguard !” is the way
ae puts it. And Mr. Iselin under ordi
nary conditions is qiuci and peace lov-
5iip charges against the Defender syn-
Aioate were published in *he last issue
•f tlie London Field. ! hey occupied
irur columns. They a: o to this effect:
"It is contended by word Dunraven
tdiattheload-water line of Defender was
Altered after the official measurement,
lifter her trial with Vigilant, the charge
r e on, when she went to Erie basin to
measured, Sept. G, it was obvious to
those on the City of Bridgeport, Yalky-
Jic’s tender, that Defender was higher
than usual. But early Saturday morn-
fag she was visibly deeper than when
fiie was measured. When he put Mr,
Henderson aboard. Lord Dunraven say»
he was certain Defender was 4 inches
deeper than when she was measured.
He did not complain then, as it was im
possible to verify the belief. But when
Latham Fish came aboard Valkyrie,
Lord Dnuraveu told him that it was his
belief that Defender was sailing fully a
foot more in length than she was when
Jneasrued. He asked Mr. Fish to have
Ibe boats measured directly after tho
»ace, and if that were impossible to htVe
a eompetitor's representative remain on
each yacht until each could he measur
ed. The only action taken was an or
der that both boats should he measured
■fine next day. The result was that Sun
day’s remeasuring offered no proof
Yfhatover that the load-water line of
Defender had boon altered.”
The remainder of the four columns
gives an explanation of Dunraven’s ac
tion in the protest against a crowded
•eursc and over the foul between the
♦wo yachts. It is hardly necessary to
tmy that Lord Dunraven argues liimself
fato the position of injured innocence
throughout these statements. The
♦barges, bluntly speaking, allege gross
fraud against the Defender syndicate.
"I am fully prepared,” said Mr. Ise
lin, "to say to any man who makes
these charges that ho is a liar and a
blackguard. J will stand by what I
have to say, no matter to whom I
Pay it,”
"Would not tho application of

rector of Defender, the responsibility
for the handling of the yacht rests upon
trie. Mr. Vanderbilt has said nothing

I written to him about them.
"I shall demand of tho New York
Yacht dub a full investigation. It will,
moreover, have to decide whether I or
Lord Dunraven is lying.
"Until I see the article as it is pub
lished I cannot make an official state
ment. I presume that «ic charges in
The Field are over Lord Dunraven’s sig
nature, or, if not, a report of an inter-
riew with him.”
Mr. Iselin was unable to say what
form the investigation by tho commit
tee would take, as that, he explained,
Would rest entirely with the yacht club;
BTit til (it ho will insist upon a comploto,
rigid and searching examination is cer

after the investigation.

Say* the Kr*ult* Make It Almost a Car-
tnlnly That the Next President Will Be
a Republican—McKinley Seems to Be
the Most Available Man—Says That Sena
tor Gorman Is Not Permanently Downed.
Pittsburg, Nov. 11.—"The results of
the election of 1895 make it almost cer
tain that the nominee of the next Re
publican national convention will be
elected president,” said Senator Calvin
S. Brice to a reporter in the union depot.
Mr. Brice was seated in a Pullman car
on the eastern express. The senator
•aid lie was going to New York. The
reporter asked him how the election
would affect presidential politics, and
Mr. Brice made answer as above quoted.
The senator continued:
"If the next president is not a Repub
lican the last election has at least added
very much to the interest that will b*
felt in the deliberations of the Republi
can convention. Who will he nomi
nated? Well. Mr. McKinley is a charm
ing gentleman, able, popular and proba
bly as magnetic as any of the candi
dates.”
To the reporter’s suggestion that th«
public would like to know the senator’s
explanation of the result in Ohio Mr.
Brice said:
“Ohio did just what the other states
did. The result in Ohio was not differ
ent from what it was in New York or
Maryland or Kentucky. The people
arc dissatisfied with the general policy
of the Democratic party, and no local
argument has any effect on the national
impulse.
"In Ohio we did our best, but it was
useless. Chairman Anderson of the
Democratic committee, did excellent
work, but the odds were too great.
Governor Foraker will be elected to suc
ceed me ns senator, and what I shall do
does not concern the public.”
The repea ter asked Mr. Brice if Presi
dent Cleveland’s policy was to blame
for the wholesale Democratic disaster.
Tho Ohio senator hesitated a moment
and then said:
"No, I don’t think Mr. Cleveland is
blamed personally for the tidal wave.
Btill, he will have to hear his share of
the blame, as being part of the national
organization and leadership of the Dem
ocratic party.”
"How about Gorman?” asked the re
porter.
l Mr. Brice arched his eyebrows. "Gor
man? Gorman’s all right. Your Matt
Quay was twice beaten worse than Gor
man was last Tuesday, and ho seems to
be doing pretty well. No, Senator Gor
man is not annihilated, and the man
who thinks he is is very badly mis
taken.”
A SOUTHERN MAN.
Senator tJiiaj’H Choice For a Candidate For
Vice President.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 11. — “If
Senator Quay’s advice is followed, the
i Republicans will name a southern man
for vice president next year.”
The speaker wuS- h .fl’rom Washing-
can leadejc—effivillo with Senator Quav
party, who passed through on route
to St. Lucie, Fla., where they will hunt
and lish.
On the trip south Senator Quay dis
cussed the elections quite freely,
and said that there would bo no
more "Solid South.” The break
ing away of Kentucky and Maryland
from Democratic control, Quay‘said,
meant that business, and not sentiment
al politics, would prevail in the south
hereafter. He thought the nationalism
j of Republicans as opposed to sectional-
| ism of Democrats had taken firm hold
on southern whites, and doubted if at
present there were more than four
southern states safely Democratic.
Accordingly, in Quay’s opinion, it
would ho good polities for Republicans
j to name a southern man for vice "presi
dent, ns it would fittingly recognize the
victory southern Republicans had won
against tremendous odds. Tho senator
would not specify his choice, but it was
plain he favored Bradley of Kentucky,
whoso fight, he said, was magnificent.

Leach and several others accompany
Senator Quay.
WANT THEIR PARDON.
The Friend* of Marshall, Fox and Cole
man Circulating a Petition.
Jackson, Miss., Nov. 11.—Under the
new constitution petitioners for pardon
must publish their intentions to make
application to the governor for 30 days
in a newspaper in the county in which
tho crime was committed.
In each publication tho crime for
which the conviction was had, the rea
son for asking such clemency, the date
of conviction and the term of sentence
must be stated. Friends of Marshall,
Fox and Coleman, citizens of Warner
county, where the young men lived,
have begun publication in the Brandon
News, in which they ask their pardon,
"because of extenuating circumstances
attending tho killing and which led un
toil.”
Counter petitions were circulated iu
Rankin county on the day of the elec
tion, and it is stated that those returned
contained about 800 names, running
even with the tally sheets at the general
voting precincts. Two of the petitions
were not returned to Brandon, being
held for additional signatures.

The chancel rail, galleries and side aisles
of the church were banked with flow

a hanging green and white tracery of
foliage and lilies, which gave a natural
unstudied effect to the decorations.

that their requests for information re

Surprise is expressed even by the dip

anything from tho porte, at the actb m of
the sultan in sanctioning tlie official
note issued Monday as cabled exclusive

Abdul Hamid’s thanks for tho "ener

Looks Like Mockery.
This looks like mocking the ambassy
and is second in importance only to the
snub administered by the sultan to
Great Britain in decorating Bahri Pasha
and giving him the command of tho
troops going to Zeitoun, after lie had :
been removed from a governorship at
the instance of the British ambassador,
Sir Philip Currie, for his ill treatment |
of Armenians.
As to order being restored in the dis
tricts. it need only he said that the Mo
bilization of about 150,000 troops to bo
sent to these districts is progressing as
actively as the Turkish government can
push such an undertaking, hampered
as it is by lack of funds and the incom
petency of its officials. Then again, ad
vices received here announce fresh dis- ,
tin Lances at Marash, Bitlis and tiivaa,
with their attendant massacres.
.It is also announced that a battalion of
Turkish troops which was in garrison
at Z: ilouu, and which recently distin-
gui: bed itself by surrounding and shoot
ing down a number of Armenian sur-
gents, was later besoigod in its bar
racks by the Armenians, to whom the .
soldiers eventually capitulated with
arms, amnninitiuii and baggage. It is 1
added that tho Armenians now occupy ,
the quarters at Zeitoun previously occu- 1
mod by the Turkish soldiery.
Tin Yrmenians, it is further stated,
have also g.vrrisonod all the important j
positions in and ti’iout Zeitoun, and are

how I have lost my appetite for circuses
and other spectacular amusements. The
time was when 1 never missed one if
I could help it; but now I prefer to seo
things that provoke thought instead of

in the exposition, tbo progress of man

When tho telegraph wire# first reached
our town wo felt sure that fiere was
nothing else to invent or discover; that
nothing more was ne’ded. But so many
wonderful aud useful things have piled
up on us since, that now we live in a
state of expectancy. What will come
next?
When I was a hoy we studied a
philosophy which said that tho load
must ho near the power, and there was
a picture of a horse trying to pull a hag
of sand by a rope that waa 100 yards
long—and he couldn’t move it. Now
wo read that tbo power fr> m tho elec
tric plant at Niagara is soon to pull all
tho boats on tho great Erie canal, and
tho thousands of horses and mules are
to be discharged from their monotonous
service. More than this—we read that
this same power is soon to supercede all
other powers in load : ng and unloading
tho vessels in New York harbor. If
this power can reach New York from
Niagara, why not reach across the con
tinent? How long before ull our rail
way trains will he moved by it? There
is sufficient water power righthero near

The children now at school will livo to
i .ugh at tho simplicity and stupidity of
their fathers and grandfathers just as
1 now smile at the recollection of tho
time when my father kept a flint and
steel and a piece of punk in a little tin
box and would strike a spark and light
a candle when ho wanted a light in tho
night. It is funny to think of the time
j when there was no matches. What
would these cigarette hoys do without
matches?

1 Adam Smith taught us iu his "Wealth
to hunt for gold, for Moses sayi in th»
second chapter of Genesis that the gold
, of that land around Eden was good, an!
ratio and J reckon old Adam dug for it and molded
it and jingled it in his pocket. II#
never wore fig leaves long. John KnoX,
in his Geneva edition of tho Bible, »•
edition that last' d fifty years and wa#
very popular, says that Adam and Ev«*
when they knew that they were naked,
made for themselves "breeches," and
so, of course, they had pockets to caff/
their money in. Old Mother Eve wor«
breeches then, and her offspring, th#
new woman, got her fashion rightl
straight from the garden of Eden. W hat
will Dr. Hawthorne say about that?
But silver c uno along in duo time.
Abraham brought the cave of Macpclab
aud paid 40,1 shekels Of silver current
money with the merchant. It was not
coined, for ho weighed it. I reckon it
was granulated like wo used to buy gold
half a century ago. My father was a
merchant, and bought a great deal of
fine gold from the miners, and most of
it was in goose quills. The quill wa*
tran-paront and had a little wood an
stopp r, and a good large one held about
810 worth. Josephus says that in hi*
day gold and silver were coined and
stamped. It was roughly done, 1 reckon,
for I have a coin that is 1,000 years old,
and it has Constantine on ono sido and
wo Roman lictors on the oilier; and it
‘s a rough job. Aluminium would mak#
a beautiful coin, and with the govern
ment stamp would bo a handier coin
than silver, for it is not half so heavy.
It is tho stamp that fixes tho vain*.
Iron and copper were used by the Greeks
and Romans just as wo use nickel now.
What a rumpus this question of cur

Nothing definite, however, appears to done. Look at ti

tion; but it is now believed that tho
sultan will not be allowed to trifle with
the ambassadors for many days longer,
and news of an important nature is ex
pected at any moment.
A prominent member of tho diplo
matic corps is quoted as saying that “tho
end of all this wretched business is fast,
approaching,” and lid* is the view that
is taken of the situation by Europeans
generally.
It is understood tho powers have at
last decided that any further "identical
notes.” or other Bueh communieatio!^
are useless in tho case of Abdul HumuR
and that only prompt and effective mil-
itarv action is likely to have any influ
ence'on him.
The rumors so persistently circulated
for inany weeks past as to tho proba

Washington, Nov. 1 1.—The treasury
department has settled th-* question of
free distribution of samples of whisky
and wines at the Atlanta exposition,
which has long vexed the officials.
Free whisky won. Among the many
foreign exhibitors are several houses
which deal exclusively in wtnes aud
liquors. They had samples of their
liquors put up in small bottles wbioh
they distributed free among people who
visited their exhibits.
Under the law all articles imported
for the exposition were allowed to corn*
in free of duty, provided an indemnity
bond was filed by the importer to pay
duty on all articles not returned after
tlie exhibition. On articles sold during
the exposition the usual duties attach
ing to such articles are imposed.
The foreign wines and liquordealers
contended that their wares, unlike all
other wares, could only be judged by
consumption, that the quality of their
goods could not be determined by look
ing at tho bottle containing the liquor,
or in smelling the cork with which it
was bottled. They were perfectly will
ing to pay the duty attaching to ths
liquors and wines sold, but, asked that
duty on sample quantifies of liquor dis
tributed free be remitted.
