ISN'T it about time for the demo-
cratic press to stop circulating mis-
representation about the reciprocity
treaty with Brazil? First they said
there would be no treaty. Well, the
treaty was negotiated. Then they
said the treaty would not be approved
by the Brazilian government, which
has been proven false by the arrival
of the official proclamation OF the
president of Brazil promulgating the
treaty and explaining its provisions
Now, because there is nothing else to
say. they are shouting that the treaty
will be of no benefit to the United
States. Come, gentlemen, this is
childish; If you are not willing to
drop your partisanship long enough
10 give the admins ration credit for
having brought about q good thing,

quiet.

THE SMELL MURDER.
Story Of the Widow Of the Late
Albert'OrdVay.
Threat to Get Money or Take the Life
Of the Chicago millionaire.
TaSCGtt, the Supposed Murderer, Stralsed
by His Companions Others lmpli-
Gated in the Crime.
Special to THE MoRNINs CALI.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 13.-The widow of the
late Albert K. Ordway, who committed
suicide here last March. was taken to Bay
View Asylum to-day. She has recently as
serted that her husband was the companion
of William Tascott, the man who is sup
posed to have murdered Millionaire Smell
in Chicago few years ago. Ordway was a
son of well-known clothier, and she was
married to him in 1881. Her husband, she
says, soon took to drink. and began to asso-
ciate with disreputable people One night
lie stood before a mirror with mask on his
face aud declared that he was going to have
money from old man Smell or kill him. She
pleaded with him to renounce his intention,
but he persisted and left the house in a
hurry. The next morning he returned
with bloody handkerchief and without his
shoes. When questioned by her he said he
had loaned his shoes to Tascott, who had
been snot and was lying in the rear of a
saloon on West Madison street.
One of the most important statements in
the woman's story is that she knows Tas-
colt is dead. She says she knows he was
strangled to death aud his body made away
with by his pals. In that connection she
mentioned the names of Funkhouser, Mars
ton aud Reynolds. Subsequent to the mur-
der Of Smell she says her husband was con-
tinually nervous aud always seemed
anxious to leave the city, although he was
in business with his father After great
deal of persuasion she agreed to accompany
him to Baltimore. After they arrived here
she made up her mind to expose the cIime
but he induced her noL to do so. Finally, as
a result Of drink, he committed suicide.

OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT.
Special Session Of The Pennsylvania Senate
TO Investigate Charges.

HARRISBURG PA, Oct. 13.-The special
session of the Senate was called together
this morning. The Governors message
calling the session was read. In it the Gov
ernor said the session was convened TO take
action in relation to the alleged misconduct
of the heads Of two departments of the State
Government, as well as other elective off
GERS. The Governor reviewed at great
length the testimony taken by the various
committees which have been investigating
the affairs of Bardsley, the Philadelphia
Treasurer, who is now in the Peniten tiary,
and severely arraigned Henry K. Boyer,
State Treasurer, and Thomas MeCamant,
Auditor-General of the State. for their con-
neCtion with Bardsley'S misdOings. In con-
clusion the Governor said the responsibility
Of determining whether reasonable cause
exists for their removal rests with the SEN
ate, and the public expected ii would be met
and discharged without regard TO partisan
advantage or detriment, and to the honor OF
the commonwealth.
The committee charged with the investl-
CATION of the Department OF the Auditor
General and State Treasurer this morning
adopted a report and sent it to Governor
PattsOn. The committee finds that the evil
dence wholly fails to disclose any just
ground for suspicion as to the personal or
official integrity of State Treasurer Boyer,
and that it fails to show any act OF personal
or official dishonesty on the part of Auditor
General McCamant, or improper receipt by
him of any money, either directly or indi-
rectly. from Bardsley. The committee
charges rs reprehensible the custom of the
two departments in allowing County Treas
urers to withhold the large sums of money
collected by them. In regard to the present
system of depositina State funds the COM
mIttee suggests the laws should be speedily
changed. The committee will meet this
evening 10 hear the report of the minority.
A committee of three Democrats and
three Republicans were appointed TO draw
up rules of procedure, and adjournment was
taken until tomorrow.

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.
Plan to Organize the Different Unions Into a
Strong Federation

Plan to Organize the Different Unions Into a
Strong Federation.
GALEsBURG Qll.). Oct. 13.-Grand Chief
Clark of the new consolidated Order Of
Railway Conductors is consulting with the
trainmen, now in session here, regarding
the proposed federation of the various asso-
cations Of railway employees. which, it is
understood, is in fair way to be accom-
plished. The Brotherhood of Railway
Conductors was member Of the Supreme
Council and the Order of Railway Con-
ductor5 was not The recent absorption Of
the former by the latter deprived the council
of a member, so that now the council COM
prises only the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and the Switchmen's Union. 1t is
deemed significant that Clark came here
from Terre Haute, where ne has just been
in conference with Grand Master Sargent Of
the Fremen's Brotherhood. II is known
that Sargent is friendly tO the trainmen and
it Is believed he and Clark have an under
plan recommended by Clark will be pre-
seuted to the traininen's convention, and it
is confidently asserted that it will be in
dorsed. 1t is also asserted that III a short
time the Supreme Council Will be a thing OF
the past, its place being taken by new
federation CT conservative railroad Organi-
cations. The slate thus far made comprises
the Brotherhood ct Locomotive Firemen,
Order of Railway Conductors, Brotherhood
of Railway TTainmeu, Order of Railway
Telcgraphers and the Brotherhood Of Sta
tonmen. This federation would represent
10000 members. Chief Arthur of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has
not so far as learned, been asked TO join
this movement.

The IRISH CAUSE.
Opponents Of PaFnelI Will Not Reply to
the Manifesto.

DUBLIN. Oct 13.-Justin Mccarthy, in an
interview to-day, said lie did not intend to
issue counter manifesto to the one issued
by the party last night. He trusted that the
Nations verdict and the good sense of
lrishmen would estimate the true significance
of the division still existing in the Irish
Parliamentary party. In conclusion he said
he and his colleagues only now cared to re-
member ParnelPs noble endeavor to pro-
mote reand's interests.
The Freeman's journal says the manifesto
of the Parnellites renders anlhonorable rec
oncilia.ion impossible. and that 1t is now
under solemn obligation to advise the Irish
people to drive from public life every man
continuing in the minority party.
PARNELL'S SUCCESSOR.
1t is generally believed that John Howard
Parnell will contest in Parliament the Cork
City seat, left vacant by the death Of Charles
Stewart Parnell.
Mrs. DicsensOn, the married sister of Mr..
Parnell, has written letter for publication,
in which she says she desires TO correct the
impression formed regarding an interview
with her recently printed. Mrs. Dickinson
says as much as her brother desired to see
union in the Irish Parliamentary party,
she Is certain he would never have sane
toned a union between those whom he re-
gardcd as the champion of Ire lands national
honor and thuse whom he looked upon as
its betrayGrs.
The health of Mrs. Parnel continues to
cause the greatest anxiety to her friends and
relatives,
