1t Was the ssBadger Game. ;"

THE ARREST OF THE TWO MEN PROVE THE TRUTH
OF PHIL DALY's STORY.
1t now appears that the story told by Phil
DAILY, the gambler, regarding the recent at
tempt to rob him in New York, was substantial
ly correct. There seems little doubt that the
intention was to play the badger game" on
DAILY. The two men who acted with the wo-
men we're arrested In New York last night
There names are Edward Meredith who fired
the shot, and Henry Herman, the antecedents
OF whom Inspector Byrnes will not give at pres
ent Days story that he was not familiar with
from whom Addie Stanton hired her ROOM is
not known to have been cOgnizant of the
scheme. After DAILY had responded to Adde'S
invitation, she gave him a chair in the middle
Of the front room with his back to the folding
doors connecting with the middle room. These
doors were ajar. He removed his overcoat
and she informed the men in waiting in the
back room that Daily was seated in the chair.
The trio had procured chloroform, and intend
ed to chloroform their victim and rifle his
pockets In case he shonld not have much
money they were to watch him in his half
stupefed condition and extort from him $685.
600. Rather than have his relations with the
woman known, they thought nothing further
would be done in the case by DAILY, but when
the mer attempted to carry out their plan,
Daily turned at the creaking of the door, and
Meredith was SO nervous that a self-cocking
revolver he held to scare DAILY was discharged
and Daily fell to the floor. The Stanton woman
screamed: ooh, you have killed him." and the
men rushed from the house, followed by DAILY,
as heretofore told by the latter. The Stanton
woman in 1887 lived with Martin Lewis, alias
Linston. who was arrested for defrauding
jewellers by forged checks.

The Congress Of Nations.

SENATOR SHERMAN ON THE SUBJECT OF CANA
DIAN REPRESENTATION.
Senator Sherman, writing to the editor of
the Ottawa Free Press regarding the congress
of nations in this city in 1889, says:
II think there is no doubt that the presence
of delegates from the dominion of Canada at
the proposed conference of American states
would be very acceptable and very proper, but
don't see how it could be done except with
the consent or appointment of Great Britain.
Our government could not, with due respect to
Great Britain, hold any formal political rela-
ton with the dominion governments neces-
sary result of the dependence of Canada upon
Great Britain, but which, no doubt, could be
waived by the parent government"

s'Stanley is Dead"

ONE OF HIS FELLOW WORKERS GIVES REASONS
FOR THIS BELIEF.
From the Montreal Witness
STANLEY is dead" This is what the Hon.
DR.. Williams said to Witness reporter yester-
day morning in answer to question respecting
the great travellers whereabouts. 81 know"
he observed, "that am going against a great
body of opinion in making this statement. 1t
is dreadful thing to say. But I am not poet
I look at the cold facts. Stanley is dead, and
his death is due to vanity. Ostensibly he
headed a column for the relief of Emin Bey.
Really he was working in the interests Of the
British geographical society. Stanley, whom
have known well, whose ambitious dreams
have listened to night after night when was
sosss OF the Congo sns es stae sns
CALLED by the magazine critics, who, while
landing him as a journalist. regretted that he
was not botanst to describe the fora of the
country; pal@ontologist, to deal with differ
entiations in structures; biologist, to scien-
titcally value ancient remains. Stanley felt
sore over this. He bought a small scientific
library and studied hard. My belief is that
with the ambition-and a very high one it
was-Of adding new country or a new river
to the map of the world, Stanley has left the
path OF duty, got into new track, encountered
savage tribes, perhaps cannibals and was muir
dered. These Zanzibar dispatches, these stories
from deserters, never put the least faith in
them. What are the facts? The last letter
from Stanley was dated June, 1887. Remember
that Stanley went, not as Livingstone, who
carried nothing more formidable than
jackknIfe or fowling-piece to provide him
self with food, but at the head of an
army with banners. He came among the
tribes as a conqueror. Each village
would turn out. He would be opposed
at every step by the natives. and he would be
opposed by the Arabs, trained warriors, with
modern arms, whose slave business it was the
Interior object of his mission to kill. The
journey, then, would be one unbroken series
of encounters, which, without any base of
supply, depending entirely on what his follow
ers could carry on their heads with nothing
for his European band but the maize and the
they could not use-with no hope of relief
men in the world. man in low spirits falls
an easy victim to fever.
COR, consider this again. Tippoo lib, the big
his men. Tippoo lib knew that Stanleys mis-
sion was ultimately destined to destroy his
source of wealth. Might il not well be that he
had arranged plot whereby Stanley should be
destroyed? III Stanley had pushed straight
through, hurried his men as fast as possible and
