WASHINGTON NEWS.
Bisnarck,s Uncanny Course.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-A Washington
special says: Later information from Ger
many shows that Minister Pendleton has
much graver cause for endeavoring to come
to better understanding with the German
government as to the construction given to
the Bancroft treaty than is apparent from
the brief dispatch which announced that
negotiations had begun. 1t appears that
Bismarck had again given evidence of his
increasing hatred of the United States by
interpreting the Bancroft treaty in the
severeSt manner against all Geaman Ameri-
cans. Those who know most about the
subject say that if he could have his own
way and dared to enter upon such course
the oppressive edict which is now enforced
against the Poles in the Northwestern
province of Germany would find parallel
IN the restrictive measures which would be
adopted against German Americans in the
mother country, who have never rendered
military service there. 1t is stated that Ger
man Americans of this class in Germany
have been notified that hereafter their resi-
dence there must be limited to few weeks
or months, and that if they in any particu-
lar during even that short period become
troublesome they will be subject to receive
notice any time to leave the country. 1t is
claimed the attitude which the German
government has taken is in direct violation
of the spirit if not the letter of the Bancroft
treaty. 1t is undoubtedly this construction
which Minister Pendleton is endeayoring to
secure modified

to call as his successor to Washington some
ofhcer upon whom he could rely. He replied
that II the appointment was a diplomatic one
he declined it. If it was military one he re-
fused to obey, because the general of the
army could not be ordered to foreign coun-
try with which we are at peace. The inter-
view was stormy one, but the subject was
dropped. One day the general was sent West
on tour Of inspection. He knew that Gen.
Sheridan was to be his successor, and in him
he had absolute confidence. The outspoken
loyalty OF that great soldier prevented the
project ever being renewed. tits, at this date,
needless to speculate ON what might have
happened had Gen. Grant actively assisted or
passively obeyed the president. No one
doubts the courage and obstinacy Of Andrew

Matthew Morgan,s Daughter.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-Counsel for Luz
cinda Morgan, the late Matthew Morgan's
daughter, opposed before Judge Lawrence
to-day proposition to postpone the in
quiry into her sanity. She has been in the
Pleasantville asylum four years. and is said
to be perfectly sane. Counsel for Miss
Morgan's sister-in-law, Mrs. Roberts, also
opposed postponement. He said that
Miss Morgan's brothers had already de-
layed the case ten months. Miss Morgan's
brothers, Edwin and Henry, had
failed in the banking business on
William street eighteen months ago,
owing $4,000, some of which
counsel thought would be shown to belong
to Miss Morgan. Her brother George had
taken Miss Morgan to Pleasantville four
years ago. If Miss Morgan was sane she
should be discharged, and if she was insane
a commission should be appointed to look
after her interests. Miss Morgan's estate
is very large and is practically under con-
troll of her brothers, who, it is alleged are
keeping ner in the asylum in order thai they
may enjoy the use of her money. Judge
Lawrence made an order directing that the
proceedings of the commission appointed to
decide the question of Miss Morgan's sanity
go on within one week.

The New York Campaign.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-The defeat of the
Ohio Democracy has encouraged and stimu-
lated the Republican state committee and
leaders to great zeal in behalf of Messrs
Davenport and Carr, and Republican
victory seems assured. Old Democrats
who cannot swallow Gov. Hill say they
may vote for Davenport, and probably will,
rather than give Hill aid by not voting.
A veteran Democrat who writes to the
press attacking Hill, says he shall, for the
first time, this fall cast Republican ballot.
1t was asserted positively at the Republican
headquarters here that committee had
gone to Washington with the authority, on
sanction of the Democratic campaign
managers, to induce President Cleve-
land to display greater interest in
the canvass of his own state. w. H
Brown of the Daily News was member of
the deputation. Their object was to show
Cleveland that he is part of the Democratic
party, and that, as one of the Democratic
workers put it. ''If Cleveland is going to
loaf comfortably around the banks of Salt
river, and see his party drift on its fatal
voyage into obscurity, without swimming
out to it with shore line, he will find him

Avengtng His sisters wrong.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 2o.-Last
Friday night a negro hostler, Harrison
Tasker, inveigled German girl named
Helen Huendlend into his room and brutally
outraged her. He was arrested Sunday for
the crime, and this morning was taken into
court for examination. While the case was
proceeding, Meinrod Huendlend, the girls
brother, drew revolver and shot Tasker
in the body, the ball penetrating the right
abdominal wall and producing probable
fatal wound. Before another shot could
be fired the infuriated German was seized
by the officials and disarmed. A scene OF
confusion ensued, and of course court was
adjourned. Tasker was conveyed to the
city hospital. The physicians give no hope
OF recovery. Huendlend was removed to
the custody of the sheriff and lodged in

PRISON REFORM.
Methods OF Caring for Prisoners
Discussed at Detroit.

DETROIT. Mich, Oct 2O-The subjec-
for discussion at the morning session of the
National Prison congress was Disciplinary
Measures in Prison. Before this topic was
formally taken up, Secretary Rounds read a
letter from President Cleveland regretting
his inability to be present. The discussion
of the morning was presided over by NJ. j.
Cassidy, warden of the Eastern Penn
sylvania penitentiary, who opened with
a paper in which he favored substi-
tuting those knowing their business in place
of the political and ignorant prison officials.
Col, Thomas F. Barr of the United States
army described the system of army prisons
and penalties. During the fourth discus
sion of the topic solitary confinement was
shown to be the most general penalty, but
much was to be left to the option of the Of
ticials. At the evening session the secre-
tary read a letter from Hon. Frederic
Hill, son of the famous recorder of Bir-
mingham, and brother of Sir Rowland Hill.
originator of the cheap postage system of
Great Britain. on the subject of Prison
Discipline. The writer claimstha the sub
ject of prison discipline is founded on COM
mon sense, and there should be no hesi-
fancy in considering it. Those whose eX-
ample would have a bad influence on others
should be shut up till they can be safely re-
stored to liberty. If anything has been
stolen, sufficient labor should be required
to indemnify the person robbed. If
bad conduct results from ignorance
instruction is recommended. IT it results
from idleness. training for productive work
is advised. If bodily harm has been in
f1icted he must be placed where its repeti-
ton will be impossible. The offender,
whatever his crime, should not after his
confinement be suddenly set free, but should
be required to give good evidence of ability
to lead an honest life. The greatest question
is to carry these principles into opelation.
The paper closed with an exhortation for
the Nation Prisonal association to continue
the work it has been so well carrying on.

Connecticut Prisoners Aid association, read

king Th ebaw Obstreperous.

LONDON, Oct. 2O.-A despatch from Rang-
son says that at meeting Of his generals
in Mandalay, King Thebaw declared that he
would personally lead his army against the
English. 1t is believed in Rangson that
the Indian government will decide to de-
pose King Thebaw, whether he accedes Ito
the English demands or not. Further
advices from Burmah say the Shans
have risen against King Thebaw
They have burned number of village
on the west bank of the Saliven river and
have attacked Thamnee. The Burmese
fled on the approach of the Shans. 1t will
be impossible for the Indian government
ultimatum to reach King Thebaw in less
than fortnight. King Thebaw has sent
large bodies of men to the British territory.
His ministers advise the blocking of the
Irrawaddy river with sunken ships.

Judge Thoman Returns.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.-Civil Service
Commissioner Thoman returned to Wash
ington to-day from tour of examinations
throughout the Northwest and on the Pa
citic coast. Judge Thoman called upon the
president this afternoon, but declines to
talk upon his possible resignation as a
member of the commission, or about the
reorganization of the other commission.
He talks freely, however, about his trip,
and says what he saw and heard in the
Northwest leads him to think that belief in
civil service reform is growing among the
people of that section. The masses of the
people where he travelled believe the presi-
dent has taken firm and proper stand for
civil service reform. A few of the politi-
clans here and there find fault with the
presidents policy, but the people generally
applaud his course and conduct enthusias-
tically.

ments in the departments, and suggesting
the propriety of making an investigation of

parties connected with it who can be

belief that Chairman Coonev. who is respon-
sible for the begging circular, is not an en-

Victims of the Collision.

JERSEY CITY, n. j., Oct. 20.-The boy
found last night under the Lehigh Valley
engine is the last of the victims, as far as
known, of the collision on the Pennsylvania
railroad on the Hackensack meadows Sun
day night. This last discovery makes nine
killed in all, with the probability of another
soon. Marmus Kleigner, the Norwegian
whose skull was fractured, is not expected
to live through the night The other pa
tients are doing well and their final recov-
cry is confidently expected. The foot
found under the engine has not yet been
matched, which inclines the authorities to
believe that another victim is yet to be
found

ing. Afterwards he went to the polling
place and was refused admission. He next
saw the ballot box yesterday morning. The
hinges were broken off and the box was
tied with ropes. Other witnesses testified
that copy of the registry book had been
made and was used by challengers until
they were driven away and
THE BOOK TORN UP.
A citizen of COvington testified that
he saw two boys, whom he named and
whom he knew to be residents of Coving-
ton, vote at this precinct. He said thew
were brought to the polls by policeman.
Another witness testified that he saw the
boys vote and saw them receive money. 1t
was bill given to the larger one. They
went into saloon, got it changed into sill
yer and divided it. He followed them to
the river. On the way he asked a police
man to arrest them, but the officer
declined. He saw the boys get
into skiff without oars and tear
up the seat to paddle themselves across the
river. Another witness testified that he
saw Moses Doyle, whom he knew well and
whom he had seen vote short time before
in another precinct, come to this precinct
and offer to vote. Witness protested and
caught DOyle's arm as he held out his
ticket. One of the judges seized Doyle's
wrist and the arm was pulled toward and
from the ballot box by those two men until
another judge took the ticket from Doyle's
hand and put it in the box. The question
to be raised in this case after the testimony
is ended is whether the court can compel
the judges to sign return when they know
it is tainted with irregularity and fraud.
The official count has only reached the
Twelfth ward. In one precinct the judges
returned newspaper election return blank
with their signatures attached, but did not
sign the tally sheet. About SS, 600 has been
subscribed for the use Of the committee of
100. The court has declined to call a
special grand jury on account of the short
time it would have to serve.
