Stanley's Fate IN Doubt.

LONDON, Dec. l5.-In the house of
commons to day Lord Randolph Church
i'll asked whether the reports of the cap.
ture OF Emin Pasha and Stanley we're
true, and whether the government would
negotiate with Osman Digma for the re-
lease of Europeans at Khartoum before
the beginning of hostilities. Goschen,
acting government leader, replied that the
information received by the government
was 30 uncertain that it would be impos-
sible to suspend operations for the relief
of Suakim during the many weeks that
would elapse before the late of the ex-
plorers could be ascertained John Nor
ley pressed the government to suspend
operations at Suakim until Monday.
Goschen replied that the request could
not be complied with. but he promised
that no Instructions would be given to
hurry operations.
Morley-"May | take it, then, that the
government will do the best they can to
prevent the commencement of hostilities
without tying the hands of the military
authorities?"
Goschen-''l cannot tie the hands of
the military authorities. I shall not 90
an inch beyond the statement | have al
ready made"
BRUSSELS, Dec. I5.-The Belgian CON
sui at Suakim telegraphs the government
that the military and political authorities
there believe the story that Emin Pasha
has been captured and his force dispersed,
but are in doubt about the capture OF
Stanley.

New. YORK, Dec. l5.-Another hitch
occurred to-day in the arrangements for
the fight for the championship of the
world between Jake Kilrain and John L.
Sullivan. To-day a gentleman who gave
his name as Richard Roe and announced
himself as a friend Of Kilrain called on
Col. Colvin, editor OF the New York
Clipper. and expressed his willingness to
cover the $4,000 deposit that Sullivan's
party lad put up. He handed Colvin a
large document and afterwards SIS, 900.
Nolvin slowed these away in his desk.
The stranger anxiously asked Tor a receipt
for the money, when Colvin said they
never gave receipts for such deposits and
that the fact of the deposit would be
duly chronicled in the paper. Further
persuasion proving unavailing Mr.. Roe
said he could not leave the money unless
he was given a receipt.
Colvin opened the drawer of his desk
and took out the envelopes and handed
them back to Roe. Colvin stated that
the big document was largely a denial of
Sullivan's claim to the championship of
he world and made a counter claim of
the title for Jake Kilrain. 1t offered, or
rather Its maker offered, TO make a match
with Sullivan for the title and n stake of
$1,000 a side (this is So, 200 less than Sui
Ivan challenge intended aud so it was
not an acceptance Of i) the diamond
studded gold champions belt now held by
Kilrain. and it also provided that Kilrain
IS the holier Of the championship should
be permitted to name the time and place

cles OF the Two Parties.
New York, Sept. 14.--A mass meeting
was held tonight under the auspices of the
Young Mems Democratic Club at Cooper
Union, with an overflow meeting outside.
Col. Henry Watterson of Kentucky was to
speak on 1.-The Two Platforms, and he was
we'll received.
Lyttleton &. Garrettson opened the meet
ing and introduced Col. Watterson, who
said
FeHou- Democrats aud Felloc- Citizens: Next
after being taxed to death the most distressful
and lingering fate which can boiall people is
being talked to death, and IL on were not the
most patient and enduring people on this earth'
there would be no reason in my talking TO you.
Parties are not like wearing apparel TO be cast
aside at moments notice, but are rather like
crutches on which the people lean for support
NOT TRULY REPRESENTATIVES,.
In our country, as n matter of fact, parties
do Eot really represent exactly what man
really wants. | say this in no discouraging
spirit or captious mood, but | would not be
truthful if said that the country was getting
anything like what II wants in the Mills bill. IL

INDIVIDUAL OPINIONS IMMATERIAI.
1t is immaterial what opinions individuals of
either party may give. Mr. Blaine said he was
not in Favor OF repeating the whisky tax but the
party was and 1t went In tho platform. 1t IS
presumed that both parties mean what they
said in their platforms, 80 there must be no back
down aud each must squarely toe the mark.

istic analysis of the two platforms and ex
planned and defended the Mills bill. lie said
that that measure, the St. Louis platform and
the letter of acceptance OF President Cleveland
all measure the reduction of taxation on the
neceSsaries of life. The Republican party was
wolf in sleeps clothing, They are the
friends of corporations and trusts, and
the enemy of the masses of the people BY It's
nomination for the presidency it had assaiIed
every national interest In American labor
through its Chinese record. The nomination
was an affront to every Roman Catholic on ac-
