STONE DEFEATED.
Is Claimed O'COnnOr Is Not the
Right Man.

The large number of people who went to
Lake Calhoun yesterday afternoon saw a
very pretty and exciting boat race. The
water was as smooth as mirror and from
the boat house spread away to the south
until lost in the shadow of the trees, still
as a slab of block marble. H. W. Stone
of the Lurline club, Minneapolis, and W.
II. O'COnnOr of Toronto were the contest
ants, the purse being S400. The course
AwaS three miles, with two turns, beginning
at the south end of the lake and finishing
opposite the boat house, In full view OF the
spectators. Both men appeared in the pink

especially for him, while Stones, which
belongs to Leavitt Rand, was too heavy for
him, though irst-class boat. The men
were sent away by the report OF pistol.
and it at once became evident that Stone
was outmatched. He pulled quick stroke.
using about thirty-six to the minute, while
O'Connor had a long, swinging stroke
of about thirty, with great reach and rapid
recovery. The latter at once opened gap
between himself and opponent, and when
the first turning buoy was reached led by
three lengths. Stone, however. turned in best
form. and when the men Strengthened up
they were about even. On the straight
course the Canadian again took the lead,
but at the end of the second mile Stone had
closed the gap, and by making quick
turn squared away for the finish slightly in
the lead. Again the Canuck passed him,
and though Stone spurted twice and re-
covered the distance, he could moi hold it.
Just before O'Connor passed the line Stone
spurted again, and when the former crossed,
a winner, it was by not over two lengths.
After the race there was great hubbuD
and coEmotion among the Lurlines over
the discovery that O'Connor was not the
man Stone had challenged. 1t is claimed
there are two brother O'Connors. one of
whom is an old and expert oarsman, and
the other comparatively new man. 1t
was the latter Stone challenged but the
claim is made it was the former who yes

fine oarsmen. The Lurlines are satisfied
they have been imposed upon, but an in

after rush, but Warren always got safely
away. dodglng and ducking with phenom-
enal uuicknesS. In the third round Warren
brought the claret from Murphy's nose, and
from that time on the only question was as
to whether he would not knock Jerry out.
IN THE FIFTH ROUND
Murphy got in blow just as they were
being separated by the referee. Cries of
foul" went up from the audience, but the
claim was not allowed. In the sixth
Murphy got in couple OF savage
upper cuts, which Warren received smil
ingly. The seventh was the lveleSt
and the most evenly contested round. The
eighth and last round was uneventful. The
referee gave the match to Warren amid
loud applause. The feather-weight GER
tainly did some wonderful work. His ac-
tivity at dodging was astonishing. He
stood up to his work manfully and got in
blow after blow upon Murphy, who failed
to return a single effective blow. He
tried hard enough, to be sure, and
made some terrific lunges, but
failed to get home. Murphy's
nose was badly swollen and his face some
what cut. Warren came out of the con-
test without a mark. Four ounce gloves
were used. Murphy claims to weigh 130
pounds. but he certainly appeared to be
twenty-five pounds heavier than Warren,
whose weight is given at 116 pounds. The
match was for the entire gate receipts.

L. Penny, has commenced an action in the
district court against the Western Avenue
Creamery company, alleging that he is
partner in the concern. and demanding the
appointment of receiver, in order that he
may get his share of the profits. Yesterday
afternoon Judge Lochren granted an order
restraining the defendants from dispoSing

case will be tried Saturday. 1t isstated

A VORD TO REVOLUTIONISTS.

Nobody who has watched the trial of the
Chicago Anarchists for completely In the muir
ders of last May can help approving the result
and acknowledging the righteousness of the
rctrbutiOn which awaits them. There is no
miscarriage Of justice in this case. The evil
dence has been exhaustive. Every indulgence
has been granted that the accused men could
claim, and the patience moderation and firm
ness of Judge Gary have won him the respect
of all who have read his rulings.
For several days the courtroom has re-
sounded with the harangues of the convicted
criminals, vainly seeking to avert their doom
but these speeches have served only TO inten-
sify the popular execration Of their authors.
With one notable exception. they bctray
spite and venom which is mono the less shock
ing because powerless TO harm. 1t is character
istic of these wretched malefactors that they
persistenuy revile the laws which protect them
from those they have wronged. They have
not even the last virtue Of scOundrcls. Not one
word Of pity for their victims has escaped
them not tear Of sorrow for the suffering
they have caused not a hope that the fruits
of their crime may perish. Speaking from the
very gates of the tomb, they consume the time
that is left them by exulting in their infamy
and shrieking the wild appeals of criminals
conscious Of their guilt.
One alone, the Engishman Fielder, stands
out in marked contrast from the rest. He has
not said Or done anything TO indicate that he
has been unjusty condemned, and his acts,
under the most charitable construction, show
culpable reckessness and neglect. Yet his
purposes have not been wholly bad. Indeed,
the lofty sentiments pervading his speech be-
fore ohe cOurt-a speech which rose at times 10
genuine eloquence-came with peculiar import
from man in his position. 1t wEis natural and

MONEY And BUSINESS.

A week of much excitement in speculation
and Of fair activity In business ends with stocks
higher, oil higher, iron and coal, copper and
silver, butter and cheese somewhat higher
but with grain, provisions, cotton, sugar, tin
and lead lower The markets puzzle ex-
perienced operators, for though decline in
grain and provisions is entirely consistent with
rise in stocks and in iron and coal, there is u
feeling that reaction In stocks and recovery
in grain are due, and yet do not come. The
outsiders and the foreigners continue to buy
securities, and that is a state Of things which
those who have stocks will not stop, as long as
they have anything left to sell. A big market
for stocks means facilities for building more
railroads. and so a larger demand for rails and
materials. On the other hand, cheap grain,
provisions and cotton mean large exports,
larger traffic for the railroads and safer mon
etary future. These influences still rule the
markets, and if there are signs Of change
the Street shuts its eyes To failures and
strikes men answer, "Thcsc come in the best
Of times"
The large railroad earnings afford a sub
stantial basis for some general advance in
stocks. Shipments Eastward are large, and
even lake vessels are making money fast the
average rates for September were - cents
for wheat by lake and 6 by canal, against 6
by lake and 3 l2 by canal for the same month
last year. Buffalo grain receipts show an in
crease Of 81 per cent this year. In September
the report of The financial Chronicle shows an
increase Of $2,SS2, 431 in the earnings of
sevcnty-seven railroads That is II % per cent,
and the increase i'll mileage operated is only 4
per cent, so that there remains a substantial
increase Of about per cent. But the stocks of
these roads have risen since September, 1855,
nearly rs per cent, and since October 10, 1885,
about II per cent Last week, in spite Of a
decline of Z Us i'll New England and 2 3-S in
Pacific Mail and moderate losses in some North
western and coal stocks, there was nevertheless
an advance Of nearly half a dollar per share in
the general average Of sixty stocks. which
closed at $67 Ia, and was still higher at times
during the week. Manhattan gained 1875,
Missouri Pacific 3 "a, Western Union 3 IL,
Canada Southern 8, and several other stocks
made decided gains. Naturally, railroad

inevitable that no should proclaim himself q
martyr and lay his blood Electrically on tho
head Of his Judges but that ono on trial for
exhorting to slaughter and rapne should plead
in extcnuadon his consecratipn to the welfare
of his fellows, declaring with obvious sincerity
that he had loved other men as well rs himself,
and adducing as his exemplar Him who

cicntly startling moral. 1t shows that among

at bottom commendabe, though they employ
bombs and dynamite as instruments for their

There is something pathetic in the spectacle
Of man like this who, hoping to redress the

fatal mistake he has made. But there are
circumstances in which ignorance becomes a
crime, and it does not excuse a homicide that
he acts under a misconception Of conditions.
to which fanatical zeal has blinded him.
Intending Anarchists and dcstroycrs, here and
abroad, may derive from this episode a lesson
they may well take to heart. The world still
needs rcformcrs, but not Of the blatant and
beer swilling type. The day of the rcd flag Is
past. The rcvolutionist Of tho future is the
wise and unsclsh man who intcrprets i'll his
life the ethics of Christianity; and whatever
abuses may be found to exist in America, they
are beyond the power of the angry foreigner to
correct who comes to a peaceful country on an
GRAND of war, with nothing to recommend him
but dishcyclled hair, frantic gcstculaton and
frothy and explosive habit of speech.

The increase, only about ID per cent, is not
such as current reports would lead one TO OK
pcct and the fact that the movement Of pro-
ducts to Western consumers has been less this
year than in any other year of the five except
last year checks belief in many reports of tho
volume of trade and the marketing of manu-
featured products. 1t is observed that the ship
mcnts Of cotton piece goods under the new
rates were only $3.50 tons from New-YorlS In
September, or 3 IL per cent Of the aggregate.
The great increase in exchanges at interior
towns continues, and the gain last week was
about q per cent, but the fact that there is no
such increase in quantities of goods moved
or marketed points strongly to tho inference
that speculation is spreading, and in other
cities Us in Ncw-YOrk is becoming so important
a cause of exchanges as to lessen the useful
ness Of these returns.
Tho money market continues close, in spite
of Treasury disbursements. Last week the
Treasury put out 81 400 900 more legal tenders
than it took in. but it took in S2,SOOO00 moro
gold than it put out, so that its only important
contribution to the supply of money was the
increase Of $3OOOOOO in silver notes out
standing. But over 70 per cent of the pay
mcnts at Ncw-Yorl were in gold certificates
against 1872 per cent in legal tenders and IL
per cent in silver. The NcwYork banks eX-
banded their loans $3,5Gl POO, and the ship
ment of small amount of gold from London,
in spite of the premium demanded for bars
in London and Paris, adds to the prevailing
confidence. But the National banks drew out
more bonds than they deposited by $3,417,1OO
in this one week. Wheat sank 2 3-S cents to
So for October, and corn II to A, and oats
l cent to 80 cents, but the free movement Of
these products helps to guard the country
against financial difficulties. The grave feat
urcs just now are the frequency and importance
Of labor strikes, and the recurrence of bad
failures caused by speculation, like the one of
Saturday in Chicago. These arc not symptoms
of health, and ii is but proper that the out
cropping of disastrous and reckless specula-
ton in Boston, Hartford and Chicago should
lie interpreted as warnings against excessive
confidence in the future.

vhKE 1y FyAvPLE or THEN.

The President has been reported by the
Civil Service Rcfomcrs to be very angry be-
cause his July order against the active par
ticpatOn Of oiiice-hoders in politics has been
disrcgardcd in some quarters. 1t is asserted
that he has determined to make a conspicuous
example of these offensive partisans. BY re-
moving Mr. Delaney, United States District
Attorney in Wisconsin, who has been guilty
Of disgraccful intrigucs for and against Mr..
Bragg, or 10y demanding the resignation Of
the schcming postmaster Of New-Orlcans, or Of
the mcddlcSomc Collector of Internal Revenue
in Indiana, or Of Mr.. Troup, the spirited wheel
horse Of the Connecticut Democracy, the
President is expected to sound warning that
will be needed by ol'icc-holdcrs throughout
the country.
1t is certainly necessary to make an example
Of somebody, in order to deliver the Admins
tlation from the reproach of hypocrtically
preaching reform while lacking the courage and
virtue TO live up to its own gospel. But tho
more conspicuous tho offensive partisan may
he, the more impressive will he the warning to
the officc-hodcrs of the country that they must
not take an active part in politics. Neither
Mr. Delaney nor Mr.. TrOup will rivet the
attention Of an indignant country and point
the awful moral Of offensive partisanship. Each
is well known among his own ncighbors and
fellow wircpullers as one of the most active
and INSCRIPTIONS politicians in his own State
But if either Of them be spread over this great
and glorious Union as a solemn warning To
politicians and officials of low and high degree,
he will not he sufficiently impressive figure.
As the New Hampshire farmer said when Mr..
Pierce was nominated for the Presidency
Hes pretty big man down here, but when
it comes TO stretching him out over the whole
country, he will be pulled out almighty thin y
If the President he anxious TO make a con-
spicuous example of offensive partisanship-
one that will leave a profound impression upon
the public mind-lct him dismiss his private
secretary and rcbu!Se tho three members of
his Cabinet who were in this city last week
LAYING pipe and pulling wires with ward poll
ticans and the bosses Of the various Halls

and Secretary Whitney all had their thumbs
in the political pie when they were here. The
Private Secretary, who is reputed to be tho
Presidents confidential adviser and personal
representative whenever political diplomacy is
required, was most actively employed in negO-
tiating with the leaders Of the warning factions
in this city, Make an example Of them, Mr.
President Let the country understand once
for all that offensive craftsmanship must and
shall be suppressed.
