The statement of NJ. Jules Simon, that
the boys and girls of this generation are

am afraid that he is right. They prefer,
which seems amazing to the adult Jules
Verne to Defoe. The cause Of this, 1 be-
lieve, lies in the quantity of reflection" in
that great author, of which modern youth is
very impatient. The same thing occurs

THE ASSASSIN FOUND.
A Russian Pole Proves to be the Slayer of
General Selevershoff.

A Russian Pole Proves to be the Slayer of
General Selevershoff.
rBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.l
PARIS, November 19.-The name of the
assassin who murdered the Russian General,
Selevershoff, at the Hotel de Bade, yesterday,
is Podeleskv, Russian Pole, in the service
of the firm of Benof in this city. He was
sent bv the firm with a message to the Gen.
eral inviting him to attend the soiree given
by the house of Benoff to the members of the
Franco-Russan colony in Paris. Podelesky
being shabbily dressed, the attendant at
tempted to prevent him going to the Gen.
erals room. He insisted on seeing the Gen
eral, saying that he had to get an answer to
the note he brought. After waiting five
minutes, he was shown to the Generals S
presence and left there. Shortly aIterward
he was seen leaving the hotel, apparently
calm and self-possessed.
Podelesky had been in France on several
previous occasions, among others at the
Paris Exhibition last year. Subsequently
he left Paris and went to Gallieia, in Po-
lard, but returned in September. Two
Nihilists, we'll known to the police in con-
nection with a former NihiliSt trial, with
whom Podelesky had passed the night on
two occasions lately, have been arrested.
The police have succeeded in discovering
the place where Podelesky lodged. 1t is No.
81 Rue Simact, Montmatre. The house is
of mean appearance. The alleged assassin
rented modest room for IA francs per
month. In searching the premises, the po-
lice found a case of cartridges similar to
those used in shooting Seleverstroff. They
also unearthed papers OF decidedly revo-
lutionary character, printed in the Russian

.REILLYS SWEEPING CHALLENGE,

The Pittsburg Wrestler Ready to Meet Any
Man in America His Weight for the
Championship-He Makes Plain State
ment.
Pittsburg is becoming prominent in more
branches of sport than foot racing. In the
latter Peter Priddy stands as a representa-
tive of the very first class, and now We have
young man who is getting ready to chal-
lenge anybody his weight in America to
wrestle him. In few days Ed Reilly will
issue a challenge of the kind Just named.
and it will be accompanied by forfeit that
will prove he means business. He has rea-
sons for not putting up the forfeit Just now,
and he stated them to the writer last evening.
During conversation he said:
Il am considerably above my wrestling
weight, and l don't want to enter into any
match with too. much superfous weight to
bring of. A gentleman on Penn avenue has
authorized me to issue challenge to wrestle
any man in America at l3S pounds, give or take
pound The style. of course, has to be catch.
as-catch-can. This is no vain boast, as l am
willing to wrestle for S50O side. Probably in
a week will be reduced sufficiently in weight
to make it safe for me to issue the challenge in
proper way and put up forfeit.
However in the meantime will not refuse to
make a match with anybody according to the
challenge have just referred to. If before my
challenge appears anybody my weight In the
country desires to wrestle me for $500 side all
they need do is to send a forfeit to THE DIS
PATCH and it will be covered. Why am par
ticular about my challenge is because if no.
body accepts it L mean to lay claim to tie
lightweight championship of America. This
will show that mean business"
1t may be added that Reilly has tried in vain
to secure a match with the famous Sammy
Taylor, who was considered the king of light
weights. Reilly and Taylor had some CORE
spondence recently regarding match. The
PIttsburger agreed to Taylor's terms but the
latter finally declined to proceed with match,
claiming that he had retired from the business.
During these last two or three years Reilly has
proven himself one of the most vigorous and
powerful little wrestlers of his weight. He has
won several good matches. and there is every
reason 20 believe that he and his hackers mean
every word they say when they announce that
they are ready to match him against any man
his weight. He is steady and hard working
young man. and steers absolutely clear of all in
toxicatIng drinks. A more enthusiastic mem
Der of the wrestling profession cannot be
found and it is quite probable that he will at
tain championship honors.

EAGER FOR GORE.
TWO JOHNS HOPKINS STUDENTS TO
FIGHT A DUEL.

An nAllegedInsulting Remark by One About
the Sister of the Other the Cause
The Affair to be Under the Code of
Honor.
BALTIMORE, November 19.-For more
than month past there hasexlsted between
two students of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity-one graduate and native of a
Southern State, and the other a Balti-
morean and an undergraduate student-a
feeling of the most bitter and intense
hatred. The trouble began at the
opening OF the present scholastic
year, and has gradually intensified to such a
degree that they have come to the conclu-
sion that the difference can only be wiped
out with the blood of one or both parties,
and accordingly provided with the neces-
sary seconds, weapons and courage, they
will repair at very early hour on Satur-
day morning to secluded spot north of
Druid Hill Park and there settle the mat
ter according to the "code of honor"
The affair has been kept very secret and
few know OF the matter outside OF seconds
and the parties themselves. The difference
grew out of an apparently innocent remark
dropped by the Southerner regarding the
SlSltT VI tue OppOuSht, WIN ID, III lew
months, to make her debut In fashionable
society with grand flourish of trumpets.
The exact nature of the remark no one
knows, other than the two principals and a
prominent club man, in whose bachelor
quarters the speech was made.
The second of the Baltimore man is a
graduate student in the university, and that
of the Southerner a Richmond club man,
who was telegraphed for at II o'clock yes
terday morning-in fact, as soon as the mis-.
sive calling him to fight was received. The
Richmond man arrived in this city late in
the afternoon. and was closeted with the
others second until $50 o'clock.
The club man, in whose rooms the primary
remark was made, will buy he weapons and
superiutend the loading of them. A student
in biology will be present in a medicinal
capacity, and the club mans valet will 60
along and make himself generally useful
They will all go to the spot in private car
riages.

THE BASEBALL SITUATION.
What Colonel John r. Rogers Thinks of
the State of Affairs.


the State of Affairs.
PHILADELPHIA November l9-The base
bail situation In this city remains practically
unchanged. The Wagner brothers, of the
PLAYERS League, have been endeavoriug to
secure the Athletic franchise, with the object
Of putting an Association club in the field from
this c',y for next season. Thus far their efforts
have not met with much success, but it is high
ly probable that the franchise will be secured
by them.
Colonel John Rogers of the National League
club, was seen yesterday and he gave his views
Of the situation. Said he: The National
League has gained decisive victory and the
managers of the different clubs will now 60
about arran ling their teams for next season.
" hen asked what would he done about the
Cincinnati club he said: The Cincinnati club
Is IN a complicated position just at present. We
are perfectly willing to do everything fair
and Just with the PLAYERS League people in
reference to that city. What we would wish is
a compromise on a 50 per cent basis. This
think would be fair for all. If the Players
don't accept these terms we will certainly put
club IN Cincinnati next season. Not that we
expect any financial revenue is to be derived by
a club there. but merely to wipe out the
Players League if they persist in their efforts
AS to the report that Chicago. Philadelphia,
New oTk. Cleveland and Boston still in the
PLAYERS League these reports are ridiculous.

tween the New ork clubs are already signed,

in Boston the National League people are de-
UIdedly adverse to any opposition from other
clubs. and they say they would rather buy the
club outright than have another local war.

LADY MANAGERS ORGANIZE.

For the First Time in History the Govern
ment Calls for Women's Aid.
CHICAGO, November 19-The Board of
Lady Managers of the Worlds Colum bian
Exposition met here this afternoon. They
were called to order and welcomed to par
ticipatIon in the work by President Palmer,
of the National Commission. In the course
of his remarks he called attention to the fact
that this was the first time in the history of
the nation in which woman has been fully
recognized by the Government in the ad-
ministration of great public trust, and
added that the action of Congress in passing
the Worlds Fair bill with that feature in it
had met the general approval of the people.
The body, at the suggestion of President
Palmer, proceeded to the formation of a
temporary organization, which resulted in
the selection of Mrs. William H. FELTON,. of
Georgia, for Temporary President, and Miss
Cora Payne, of Kentucky, TOR Temporary
Secretary. Resolution alter resolution was
introduced on ali sorts of questions etfecting

lucky that Mr.. Palmer remained, as his
advice was soon eagerly sought, freely given

1t NAV be accepted as a certainty that
Walter w. Burnham will be manager of the
Pirscurg Baseball Club next year. That
gentleman arrived in the city last evening
on the Chicago limited and registered at the
Mouongahela House. Both Mr.. Burnham
and Secretary Scandrett. who accompanied
him, were extremely surprised to see a DIS
PATCH representative awaiting them at the
hotel
"Well, " said Mr.. Scandrett, Eve expected
that we would steer clear OF all reporters,
but We are once more mistaken"
Mr.. Burnham is a fine looking gentleman
of about 81 or 35 wears OF age. He looks every
inch business man; good conversationalist
and at once gives one the idea that he knows
what he is talking about and when he has said
enough. 1t would be difficult to meet a
pleasanter gentleman to talk to. he arrived
here from his home in New Haven, Conn.
After registering at the hotel he and Mr..
Scandrett went to the Duquesne Club where
they met Mr.. Nimick.
Mr.. Burnham has not yet been definitely
engaged to manage the club but it is likely
that ne will be to-day if a meeting is held. He
has come here to personally apply for the posi-
tlon so that the new directors may have every
opportunity to question him and to use street
phrase, ''size him up" He comes here well
recommended, having guided several clubs to
championship honors. Altogether it is safe to
say that he will make very good impression
on the directors. During conversation with
the writer he sald:
This baseball conflict, which seems to be
about over. will no doubt do good, although it
has cost many thousands OF dollars. 1t will
give all OF an idea of the weak spots in con-
tracts and rules and when we get once more
down to work we can strengthen up those weak
places. l extremely regret that SO much un-
pleasantness has been caused, but l do trust
that IL is all over and that our national game
from now OF Will begin and regain Its former
glory"
Referring to the threats of President Prince
Of the z. L. Mr. Burnham said: mir. Prince
is evidently young in the baseball business or
else he would know that such like threats will
have no effect at all, except making matters
worse for himself"
To-day Mr.. Burnham will be introduced to
Messrs. McCallin, Rea, Kerr and other gentle
men interested in the club. His coming last
evening was somewhat unexpected, as it was
late yesterday afternoon when word was re-
ceIved in the city that he WAS on his way here.

Says He is Weary of Fighting Midlothian
Rhetorical Campaign.
By Associated Press.1
LONDON, November 1S.-Mr. Balfour
addressed an enthusiastic meeting at South.
port this evening and received cordial
welcome. He said that he was becoming
tired of the dreary and melancholy
task of tracking the calumnies and mis-
statements of his opponents. Since he lett
Ireland il has been his painful duty to pillow
through q, Midlothian rhetorical campaign.
He found the Mitchellstown procession aud
other ancient figures more decrepit and
wrinkled, and with more false teeth than
ever, but they still had the old recognizable
shapes. He would not make any further
reference to Mitchellstown, but would let
Mr. Gladstone go on, remembering as long
as he pleased an incident which had been
argued and reargued, even to nausea.
He characterized Mr.. Gladstone's refer
ence to the police land cultivation and land
lordism in Ireland as extraordinary fallacies
and amazing fctions. And while Glad
stone was pursuing his wild career OF im-
provisstIon here, Dillon and O'Brien were
following no less wild career of mistate-
ments in America.
ANOTHER Barring PANIC.
LONDOE-Loose statements regarding the
position of the Barings again alarmed the
guarantors yesterday. The report that one
manager of a joint stock bank had told
one member of the Stock Exchange
that loans might be restricted at the
next settlement was magnifed and
sufficed to almost cause panic. Once
more the Bank of England and the Roths-
childs stepped into the breach, and commu-
nications passed between the Bank of Eng
land :and other leading banks, with the re-
suit that there is every reason to expect that
the tenders will to-day announce that ac-
commodation will be liDerally provided.
CONVICTED OF CONSPIRACY.
DUBLIN-In the Judges Court at Clon-
mel to-day judgment of guilty was given
against William O'Brien, John Dillon and
Patrick o Brien, all of whom are members
OF Parliament; John Cullinane, Thomas
Walsh, Patrick Mockler and Mr.. Bolton,
who were charged with conspiring to induce
the tenants on the Smith Barry estates.

BELGRADB-The Skuptchina opened to-
day. The speech from the throne declared
that in consequence of the moderate policy
that had been adopted, Servia now enjoyed
the confidence of the powers, while her
relations with Austria had assumed a
friendly character.

pany to-day it was announced that the Gov
ernment proposed to spend e7O, 900 on ex-

in order to relieve the distress of the inhab-
itants.
