Harrison Men Hedging.

New YORK, July 1O.-A Unknown up
town hotel man said today that there
was no more betting of two to one on
the democratic presidential ticket.
Many of those who had bet on Harrison
on these terms, he said, were now trying
to hedge. Sheridan Shook is believed
to be the depository of a large sum of
money to bet on Herrisan at the best
terms he can get. It is said today that
Phil Dwyer has offered to stake 100000

his LIFE ISIN DANGER

Letters Received at the Imperial Palace
Threatening Emperor Williams Life.
BERLIN.-Letters threatening the life of
the emperor continue to be received at
the palace and thus far the police have
been unable to trace the senders. The
feeling is growing that an ominous and
growing movement of hostility toward
the young emperor is in the air and being
agitated and encouraged at evsry oppor
tunity by the secret leaders of the rQvolu-
tionary idea. They profess to recognize
in William foe to the welfare of the en-
pire, and advocate his assassination in
guarded but unmistak able terms. Appre-
hension for the safety of the emperor Is
openly expressed in many quarters.

Negotiations are in progress for fusion
of the democrats and greenbackers which
will probably be successful. The state
convention of the two parties will both
meet at Detroit July 10, when the pro
iect will no doubt be consummatea. Four
years ago fusion electoral ticket was
run, com posed of six democrats and six
greenbackers, each party making seper-
ate nominations for the thirteenth cleo

but by the very narrow majority of g.

He said:

will not keep within the law. Had they
followed my advice things might now be

Tive of the Accused COuSpiratorS Confess Their
Connection With the CircnIar.
CHICAGO, July l0.-The most sensa
tional developments in the Burlington
conspiracy cass are the confessions of
}. j. Kelly and j. ii. McGnlibery, clerks,
respectively, to Chairman Hoge, of the
grievance committee, and Chairman
Murphy, of the financial committee.
Inspector Bontield said to-night:
when Kelly and McGillibery were ar
rested this afternoon they sent for me.
l went to see them at the Armory police
station, first sending word 20
General Manager Stone that pre-
sumed they wanted to talk. He
came over, bringing an attorney with
him, aud we consulted with the men. They
told us fully of their connection
with the circular and their statements
were perfectly satisfactory to Mr.. Stone.
Their statement was being reduced to
writing and was not fully completed be
fore | left, but | understand that the
statement settled beyond doubt the
authorship OF the emery and soda letter.
1t also settled the identity of John Sow
ers, the man who could not be found by
the reporter. According to this state
ment Sewers is mono other than Hoge.
When the circular was sent out, inquir-
les as to its authenticity were received
from the chief engineers, asking if il
were genuine. Both of these young men
answered a number of these Inquiries
saying by the direction of Hoge, that the
circular was all right. The letters ad
dressed to Sewers, and left at the Nation
al hotel, were taken to Hoge at the Grand
Pacific, and there answered by these meu
under HOge's instructions.

were arrested at ESQ O'Clock this morn.
Ing by detectives from the central station.
They are charged with conspiracy against
the o. railway.
Both men were taken TO the armors
and locked up. The much talked-of cir
culsr in which Hoge is alleged to have
requested brotherhood men to hire them
selves secretly 10 the 20" road, and thes
disable the engines, is what got Hoge
into troubie. Chairman Murphy Is
charged with being an accomplice.
midnight consultation OF the officers
of the company led TO the arrests. Two
or three detectives, Manager Stone, Paul
Morton and Frank Collier, attorney for
the company, were working all night on
the evidence against the alleged conspira-
tors, and it WAS not until at an early hour
this morning that they decided to arrest
Hoge aud Murphy. Manager Stons
swore ont the warrants. No more ar
rests will be made in this city, it ia
said. but it is probable that several
strikers IN other places who
are now being shsdowed by the company
detectives, will be behind the hSrs before
long. The company, 1t is thought, found
among the Onspirators one who has con
fessed. The disappearance of Fireman
Alec Smith who was arrested the other
day and who was not jailed with the other
prisoners, taken in connection with the
remarkable secrecy which the brother
hood maintains in all its affairs, seems
to preclude the idea of the compauy's
having secured its evidence in any other
manner.
Hoge and Murphy were taken before
Justice Il. Ii. White, but asked for
change of venue. Upon she prisoners
being brought to Justice Lyon, the rail
road attorneys demanded continuance.
The justice was about to fix bail at 81, 900
apiece when the company's lawyers pro
tested, and after some parley the amount
was increased to $500 for each OF the
men. Bonds were promptly furnished
and Hoge and Murphy released until

The abolition of slavery in Brazil has
been suddenly accomplished with
wonderful want of either violent methods
or reactionary results. The freedmen
have gone 10 work ON their own account
in way that surprises everybody.
Many of them are in the employ of
former masters at good wages, and the
testimony of the latter, according to the
Rio Janerio papers, is that the free labor
is more profitable to them than the slave
labor. Such an acknowledgement SO
early in the. day is very significant.

SHERMAN DELEGATES INDIGNANT.

They are Assessed SIS Each for Their Quar-

been levied upon the delegates to the
Chicago convention TO pay for the room
used as Sherman headquarters.
E. j. TotteR, of this city, who was one
of the delegates from the fifth congress
sionaI district, said this morning that
Mark H. Hanna, of Cleveland, who acted
as Sherman's manager at Chicago, had
written to him for $15, and accompanied
the request with the statement that each
of the fOrtysix delegates from Ohio were
expected to pay this sum in order that the
debt for Sherman's headquarters might
be lifted. Totten is indignant over the
matter and asserts with much emphasis
that he will not pay one cent of this as

SENATOR INGALLS, is reported as having
expressed the opinion, that the tactles OF
the republican party will be changed
from the defence of the protective tariH
system, to resumption of the bloody
shirt. He holds, that solid south must
he met by solid north; and that the
thing to do, is to run the campaign on
sectional lines again. That the party is
in terrible quandary, and don't know
what to do, is unquestionably true.
Having lost its hold in '84, it is clawing
around in every direction and grabbing
at everything it sees. to restore itself. It's
poor old party.
Mr.. BLAINE held that there was moral
side TO the whiskey question, and while
he was in favor of making tobacco free,
he was not in favor of free whiskey.
Probably had Blaine been nominated, out
of regard for his views the free whiskey
plank would have been left ont of the
platform. But when Harrison was nom
mated ii was assumed that he would go
the whole hog to save the protects; and
as he ulps il down and calls it good il is
evident that the convention of mOnoPo
lists made no mistake in their calcula-
tions when they selected him rs their can
didate.
