STANLEY AND EMIN PAsaA.
Conicctures AS to the Route Which
They Are Travelling.

ICopyright 1889 bv James Gordon Bennstt.1
BRUSSELS, Oct. 23-lNew York Herald
Cable-Special to THE BEE. In producing
q telegram from Captain Wissmann an
nouncing that Stanley and Emin Pasha are
expected at Mpwapwa by the end of Novem-
ber, the Independence Beige makes the fol-
lowing remarks:
'"rhis news does not agree with the con-
lectures made for some time past. In
well-nformed circles it was generally be-
lieved that from Lake Victoria where Stan
ley was when we last heard from him, he
would travel to the north and arrive at the
English port of Mombassa after having
established the authority of the English
and African Oriental company on all
the.territory comprised between the lake re-
gions and the coast. It was not believed
that he would direct his steps to the south of
Zanzibar. Besides this. the route from Lake
Victoria by Ounya Moueza and Mpwapwa to
Bogamayo is much longer than that of Nom
bassa. We therefore publish the informa
tion for what it is worth. In truth, nobody
in Europe can say say what change of timer
ary the hazards of such journey might
obllge Stanley and Emin to make.

GLADSTONE Ar SOUTHPORT.
The Bulk of His Remarks Devoted to
the Irish Question.

LONDON, Oct 23-Gladstone, who deliv-
cred an address at Southport this evening,
was enthusiastically welcomed. He reviewed
the work of the liberal party during the past
twenty-one years. He paid a tribute to the
laudable anxiety of the powers to postpone
the European crisis. He referred to the
Cretan question as a formidable menace to
the peace of Europe. He criticized at length
the governments work and claimed that all
its useful measures were liberal. The speech
was short and somewhat disappointing,
Gladstone made a point by declaring the
principles of the dock strikes applied to the
tenants and tradesmen in ireland would have
been penal. He was touched by the election
gains and believed that If they could end the
septennial act and appeal to the people to-
morrow the verdict would be in favor OF the
liberals and a justice to Ireland The hulk
of the speech was devoted to the Irish griev
ances. He said the continued necessity of
proclaming new districts was evidence of
the failure of the coercion policy, and de-
clared the crime rate was not the same as in
1884, when, in order to secure the support of
the Parnelltes, the tories declared coercion
was no longer necessary.

Manipulation of Rates BY Cross
Roads to Cincinnati.
CHICAGO OFFICIALS EXCITED.
Both East and West-Bound Lines
Powcriess Because OF the Greas
Shortage of Cars-Sta.
tion Agents Meet.
Gross lsonds Meet.

CHICAGO, Oct, 23-TSpecial Telegram to
The BEE. The crossroads leading from
the Mississippi river to Cincinnati are ut
their old practices aud are divertng more
Nebraska grain that way than is coming
through Chicago. Tho movement of grain
in that direction only began Monday and
would not have leaked out to-day had it not
been that Robert Warren, prominent Chi
cago board of trade man, returned from Ne.
braska with the information. Local railway
officials of lines both east and westbound
are greatly excited over the manifest ma
nipuation of rates, but are absolutely power
less, owing to their shortage OF
cars. They could not handle the
grain If 1t were offered thom At
the same time they know it could not walk
to market and they would get it, or at least
large share of it, at even rates. 1t Is not yet
known what rate is being made to influence
the grain towaro the southern routes, but 1T
must DO n less rate than the lake nd-rail
rate via Chicago, and consequently very
low allrail rate. 1t VIII be remembered that
nearly year ago the southern lines took an
immense lot of this grain by quoting rate
made up of the Chicago proportion of tho
through rate applied to Cincinnati, and
thence east at the regular local rate This
OF course cut the rate by the difference
between the Chicago and Cincinnati eastern
locals. Judge, Cooley ruled against
this rate and it was withdrawn.
1t is not thought possible that the same rate
is again being quoted, but that the manipu-
ation is effected by the quoting of a very
low local rate from Nebta3ka to Cincinnati.
The bulk of the manipulated corn is going to
Baltimore and philadelphia, the rest going
by the Chesapeake & Ohio to Newport News.
Local officials are at loss what to do in
the premises 1t would be suicide to lower
the rates to meet the southern one, as they
are all dong all the business they can
handle. Owing to the glut of business on
the New York Central, the Lake Shore has,
since Monday, been compelled to
refuse all local gram, and IL
the present rush continues will be compelled
to ask its western connections to turn the
grain over to other lines. Every western
line is likewise overwhelmed with business,
all reporting daily increasing shortage OF
cars Chicago west-bound lines are to-day
short at least 6000 cars and the east bound
lines are short over 10000. Things being in
this shape, the southern lines will have
things all their own way until the pressure

Montgomery said this morning:
.lt is one of the most critical cases to de-
eide ever saw, and have attended great
many. In the examination to try to find
where the child had contracted the dreaded
disease it was impossible TO trace it any
where, and the parents of the child were
perfectly willing for us to search in every
direction we desired, and to answer any and
all questions put to them. They firmly as
sert that no old clsthng has beon brought
into the house or store, no foreign let
ters or papers received and that no
members of the family have been
away from home visiting. To sum it up. we
can find no source OF contagion whatever;
therefore we feel backward about pronOunc-
ing it a genuine case of small pox 1t is
certain, nevertheless, that the symptoms
point to a typical case of that disease, and If
we could trace its history in any way to a
source of contagon, we would not hesitate u

THE CRONIN CASE.
A Surprise Promised at To.Day's
Session.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23-The Journal this even
ing asserts that either in States Attorney
Longenecker's speech in the Cronin case to-
morrow or in the evidence to be introduced
later, there wlll be surprises.
The weak point in the case has always
been thought to have been the ability of the
state so show that DIR. Cronin actually en-
tered the Carlson cottage the night Of the
murder. The Journal claims that the states
attorney has two witnesses who saw Cronin
driven up TO the Carlson cottage and saw
him enter. II is also thought that evidence
will be produced to show that four men took
part in the murder-Coughlin, Cooney,
Burke and man not yet arrested at mid
night .O'Sullivan, 1t is claimed, acted as
sentry outside. Kunze is said to be the man
who drove Coughlin TO the cottage.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 23.-The trial of At
torney Collom for forging j. Il. Blalsdell's
name to notes aggregatlng $4,000 began
to-day.
]. II. Blaisdell was the first witness. Dur
ing the cross-examlnation Blaisdell said he
had not endorsed paper to exceed $500 for
Colon at any one time Judge Wilson
handed the witness the alleged forged notes
which formed the basis for the
state's case against Colon. Blais-
deli denied that he had ever signed
the documents. Later in the day BlaisdelI,
on being questioned in regard to the same
note, said he had bought up several notes at
the Security bank and the note in question
was among the number. He said he had
given another note for the full amount OF the
one in question and had taken up six others
which ne had claimed were forgeres.
The prevailing opinion is that Blaisdell's
evidence has materially weakened the case
for the state. His admission as to buying
he notes is regarded as fatal to his case.

PENSION OFFICE HEADS IN DANGER.
It was Q o'clock this afternoon when Com
missioner Raum entered the pension office.
His face was diffused With smiles and there
was about him the fragrance of orange bios
SONS and wedding cake. He had just at
tended the marriage Of his daughter but he
no sooner got settled in his official char
than he began 10 wield his pen and TO direct
the affairs of the Office like one who had
been there for years.
1t is said now that the names of the thirty
pension office employees gwen to the
press this week is not full list of those re-
rated under Commissioner Tanner. There
are about dozen more of the pension Office
employees who had their pensions rerated
and were gwen large arrearages. Their
names appear to have escaped the notice of
the commission who examined the manage
ment of the office. 1t is not yet known what
action will be taken to recover this illegally
allowed money, but 1t Is believed
that it will nearly all be recov-
cred or the peneficiaries retired from
the public service. Most of them, 1t is said
Secretary Noble has intimated, will have to
retire in any event.

the pension office whose pensions were re-
rated have been officially requested to refund
to the government the extra money paid.
The law gives them sixty days to reply to
