THE ENGLISH LIBERALS.
An Important Conference Being Held at
Newcastle.

An Important Conference Being Held at
LONDON, Oct. 1.-The liberal leaders are gath
ering at Newcastle today from all parts of the
kingdom. 1t is generally considered that to-
days meeting is the most important assembly
of liberals previous to the general election.
and that the program today agreed upon will
greatly influence the result of the election.
Conferences have been held during the week
preparatory to the great meeting and matters
disposed Of in advance about which it would
not do to have any dissention. The indications
are that the radical element will be satisfied.
for the present at least, with the advocacy
of salaries for members Of parliament and other
measures to be proposed and supported in the
interest of the working classes and that there
will be united front in the coming.political
contest
Mr.. Gladstone has insisted that there shall be
no weakening in the support Of Irish home
rule, and to his personal influence, more than
any other cause Is due the fact that home rule
will be kept in the van as the watchword of
the liberal party. To hispersonal influence it is
also due that there Is not a general splitting of
the radicals, who are anxious to attack the
foundations of class privilege, to abolish the
house Of lords and gentlemen Of estates and to
effect the disestablishment of the English
church. 1t is recognized that tho working
classes are radical and arc growing more and
more radical and it Is feared that the disap-
pearance of Mr.. Gladstone from tho scene will
be followed by division Of the liberal party.

inning, Hewett and Wright defending the
wickets. The bowlers were Bailey and II. l.

had made run, the score being runs for q
loss Of one wicket.

Seven Of the eight were made by Hewett, the

states that a fire ragged there for several days

hay belonging to farmers, ranchmen ami
Indians, also burning and stampeding beyond
recovery many valuable herds of horses cattle
and sheep. and probably resulting in the loss
OF many human lives, though nothing authentic
on that score is vet ascertainable.
The region that was swept over by the flames
is described as a vast plain of death and desoia-

OLD MILE LAC RESERVATION, MINI, Oct
Until the flooding rains of Saturday night
heavy fires have been raging in the Old Mile
Lac reservation pine forests since the
18th instant, burning over about two
townships and destroying about 1000 600
feet OF pine timber. large amount Of hay and
"a great many settlers houses. The fires
started up in many places at the same time on
the night OF the I'D instant, and seemingly
signal shots were heard from many quarters.
1t is the general belief among the settlers that
the Indians set the fires to burn the pine. hay
and settlers houses. The Indians protected
most Of the maple sugarobelts near the lakes,
where all of their sugar camps are situated,
as they are told by traders and Indian sympa-
thixers that they can take their allotments of
all lands adjoining the lake regardless of the
settlers claims

CLEVELAND, Oct. mo said Capt Arson
yesterday, Il do not believe the eastern clubs
are throwing games to Boston. I have never
said SO, and don't mean to. think too much
of the national game. I believe too sincerely
in the honesty OF the men playing base ball to
think for a moment that games are being
tn rown.
'Yes, SIR" repeated Arson, Il would rather
lose the pennant. / would rather finish second
after all the work Of the past month than
believe that Boston is winning games by having
them thrown to her by other clubs. Its
absurd, it's nonsensical, to say that. don't
doubt that if Chicago had been pleying against
New York she would have faced some one else
besides Coughlln. We would have got Rusie
about three-fourths of the time"
CHICAGO, Oct 1.-The Herald yesterday sent
this message to presidents of the Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Philadelphia, BROOKLYN, New York
and Pittsburg clubs: did you give your con-
sent to doubles as played by Boston prior to the
playing Of eight gamesy' An affirmative an
swer was received from President Robinson Of
the Cleveland club. The service clerk at Brook
lyn and Pittsburg notified the Herald that Pres
ident Byrne and o Neil could not be found. No
word was received from New York or Indianap-
oils. IL would seem that the Boston club had
secretly received the required consent and that
the games would stand as played.
