President elect Harrison aud his
party had tine weather in which to
take leave OF their friends last
Monday. iaSty gool.bNes were
SAID by the family, and God speed
was received in every conceivable

bore the distinguished party to

The following compliment TO
Senator Riddleberger is from The
New YORK World:
"The Senate in secret session
yesterday decided to make public
the record Of its proceedings IN
considering the British extradition
treaty during the past two or three
years. 1t will be given to the press
for publication to-day. This de-
cision may be regarded as a vic.
tory for RiddIeberger."
The new Senate was completed
last week by the reelection of
Senator John +. Kenna, from West
Virginia, as nearly as it can be
done at present. The successor Of
Senator Chandler, of New Hamp'
shire, will not be chosen until June,
and as he Will be a Republican in
any event the Senate will stand
thirty.nine Republicans to thirty
seven Democrats, plus eight new
senators of unknown politics to be
chosen between this and December
from the new states of North and
South Dakota, Montana and
Washington. If the territorial
vote of last November is a safe
guide the senatorial election in
these new states will make the
Senate stand next winter forty
seven Republicans to thirty-seven
Democrats, which is good safe
working Republican majority,
leaving a margin for two or three
possible unmanageable cranks.-
The House, too, will be safely Re
publican, but with less votes to
spare, insuriog a complete Re
publicad Administration for two
years at least and probably four.

TO RESCUE DICK HAYNES.
THE PLOT GIVEN AWAY BY A
COLORED MAN.


BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Feb. o.
Sheriff Smith today detected q
daring plot to break jail and, after
numbering the night turnkey,
liberate HAYES. the Wylie boys,
and the long list Of desperate
criminals confined IN the county
Jail. The plot was led by Ben.
Smith, a mere boy, the paramount
of Sallie Boyd. and the murderer
OF her lover, William Leslie, aided
by Fred. Watkins, ex.secretary of
the Y. NJ. 9. A.
They had secured saws and files
and had several heavy bars of the
Jail already cut in two. They con-
cealed their work by using grease
and dust. John Hurd, colored
pal who watched for the cousplra
tors, confessed that the plot was to
break out into the outer court,
OverpOwer and murder the two
night turkeys and liberate every
one in tue jail who cared to escape.
The discovery Of the plot has
causel mnch excitemen: and I'M
easiness among the officials on ne
count OF the desperate characters
of the prisoners, and the fact that
the saws and other tools they used
to cut the bars can not be found.
This morning Sheriff Smith ar
rested Pete Williamson, a colOred
hack driver, as an accessory after
the fact to the HAYES MURDERS
For weeks the officers have been
endeavoring to work mp how Mrs.
HAYES and Irene, or their dead
bodies, were carried to the lake AT
Lakeview, a distance Of bali a mile
from the Raves residence. To-
day an old white man named
Purdy testified positively that he
recognised D.ck Bawes and Fan
ME Bryant and an unknown man
in a carriage on the Sunday night
following Saturday, the night the
murder was committed, and that
the carriage was owned and driven
by old Peter Williamson.
Williamson denies any COM
plicity in the crimes, but admits
that he knows something about
the tragedy, and says he Will tell
it at the proper time. His arrest
is regarded by the officers as the
most important link in the chain OF
evidence that is being woven

A Diplomatic Faux Pas.

All Washington Is splitting its
sides to-day over story of social
romance and misadventure which
has Just leaked out, says the
Washington correspondent of the
New York Herdd.
Mr.. George Barclay, of the
British legation, has of late been
sufficiently epriS of Miss Letter,
the beautiful western heiress, who
has turned al! Washington heads
this winter. Mr.. Barclay Is the at.
tractive yOang gentleman who won
fame and money at the Knicker-
booker club in New York by back
ing himself to drive to the Bruins
wick hotel, dress for dinner
and return inside of ten minutes
He did actually accomplish this
feat inside Of seven minutes. 1t Is
undoubtedly owing 10 this nervous
haste abnormally developed in an
otherwise rather slow nature that
Mr.. Barclay has now to accept his
present modification.
1t seems that on Wednesday
night Mr.. Barclay felt the ap.
proach of the cold wave and pur.
chased some of those warm wooden
garments which stick closer than
a brother to a cold mans leg The
same afternoon he ordered box
of roses to be sent to his lodgings.
Late for dinner, as usual, he rushed
home. dashed off a pretty note to
Miss Letter, saying "Wear these
this evening for my sake" aud
hanied the note and the box con-
tanning the wooden goods to his
servant, vino duly delivered them,
while the box of roses remained
upon Mr.. Barclays table. AL
though, perhaps, not quite so
grievOus an international aifroDt
ms Lord Sackville put upon us, the
views Of The British foreign office
upon this latest misft IN diplomacy
is awaited with some amusement
and anxiety. As tor Dir. Barclays
personal explanations, they are, OF
course, unmentiOua BILE.

TWELVE YOUNG GIRLS KILLED,
NANGLBD IN THE COLLAPSE OF A
SQUJB FACTORY, DUE TO
AN EXPLOSION.

WmKRsBARRE, PA, Feb. %
A terrible disaster occurred at
Ply mouth, a few miles from here,
this afternoon, by which twelve
girls died. Back of the Gaylord
shaft stood the factory Of John
Powell, used for the manufacture
of squibs used by the miners in
IOOsening coal in the mines. The
factory employed eighty four girls,
ranging from twelve to twenty
years, and several male wOrkmen.
While the majority of the girls
were at their homes eating dinner
the people were startled by ter
rifle explosion. They saw clouds
of smoke ascending from the squib
factory, aud soon large crOwI
had gathered around IL, and wo-
men began wringing their hands
when il became known that a num-

AS mothers saw and recognized
some familiar token or piece OF

were placed in "a row. Their features
were 50 badly mutilated that they
were scarcely recognizable.

League Players Reported to be Dubious of
the Brotherhood
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsP PATcH.l
NEW YORK, November 9-There does not
seem to be any doubt but that some of the
brotherhood players are now on the fence, and
are thinking of going back to the League.
President Day said to-day that George Gore
had called on him. Cores excuse was that he
wanted to have q settlement with the club.
But it is we'll known that Gore had called at A.
G. Spalding's place of business for the purpose
of asking that gentleman's advice, but Mr..
Spalding was not in. Then Gore went to see
Mr. Day, but the latter would not talk.
The players say they have nothing against
YOU" remarked the reporter.
mo" remarked Mr.. Day, with deep sigh
"They say that they have nothing against me-
but let me have the New York team one more
year. I'll be the manager then, and I will be
ready to get ont of the business"
The news that Denny and Glasscock, the two
men who are the principal cause OF the present
great fight, are ready TO sign league contracts
has made the Brotherhood somewhat uneasy.
Ward says: There is absolutely no truth in
the statement that any one of our players has
signed with the League. The Committee on
Organization was in session this afternoon at
the office of Judge Bacon, 100 Broadway,
for six hours, and 400 players contracts
were sent out during that time. contract
was also drawn up 6y tns committee, which
represented in the new league. A constitution
and bylaws were also drawn up to be SUBJ
mitted to the next meeting of the League in
January.
You can state that there will be players
league in existence next April, and also for
nine successive Aprils, for the contracts bind
the PLAYERS to the new league for the space of
ten years." said Mr.. Ward. 1t is a well-known
fact that Buck Ewing could have had one-fifth
= of John O'Day's stock in the New York club
and assured himself of the management of the
club for life had he signed contract last Sat
urday morning. 1t was the chance of q life
time.

PHELPS THE MAN.
He Will be the Next Association President
Fred PfeGer's Trips.

Fred PfeGer's TRIPS.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
LOUISVILLE, November 9.-President Won
der Abe notified the Louisville people some
time ago that he would be over here this week
to go with them to the annual meeting of the
Association. He set Thursday for his arrival,
and it is pretty certain that his visit has some
thing to do with the canvass for the Presi-
dency The St. Louis President declared
in an interview at Kansas City that
he was for Mr.. Kranthoff to succeed
Wykof, but interviews and declarations
count for but little with Won der Abe. He has
always been on the friendliest terms with Zach
Phelps, and if the latter's name goes before
the Association as a candidate for the Presi-
dency it is pretty certain that Won der Abe
will support him with all the influence that he
can bring TO bear. Director Cato, of the
Louisville club, declares that Phelps is certain
of being elected; says everything is arranged
for that and adds that Won der Abe is looking
out for that matter. Mr.. Cato and President
Parsons are going to the annual meeting and
possibly Secretary Batwan. Mr.. Phelps fully
expected to 60, but now says he thinks it will
important legal business which he has on hand.
1t may be scheme of his to have his election
mangaedby friends in his absence.
Phelps is as smart politician as they make
them, and is long way ahead Of the average
baseball man in education, fortune and social
position. He is college-bred man, and as
smart young lawyer as there is In LOUISVILLE,
SO that the Association will not be likely to
suffer if he becomes its President. Mr.. Phelps
is also candidate for delegate TO the conven-
tiOn which will meet in a few months to frame
q new Constitution for the State. The Legisla-
ture fixes the date of the convention.
Fred Pfetfer has made several trips to his old
home here of late, and it has leaked out that he
got some of his old friends to take stock in the
Brotherhood venture Fred is sanguine that
there is a great deal of money in the scheme for
stockholders as well as players. He got but lit
tie money here, however, and what little he got
was purely on his personal account. Pfeffer is
popular here, this being his home, and the fine
second baseman being a man of many fine
social qualities. HIS old mother lives here and
is taken excellent care OF by her son. He fire.
quently takes her out on his trips during the
playing season, and almost every day she is
treated to drive by him.

contracts for next season, with the exception of
