AN ENVOY FROM CAHENSLY

| Only Prevented by the Wiser Germans
From Running the Conference-A Sup
pressed Speech Of His Made Public
Futile Denials by the Envoy.
BUFFALO, Sept. 24.-The greatest sur
prise connected with the meeting of the
| German-American Clerical Union in this
city came out tonight. The sensation was
caused by the leaking out of the fact that
Herr Cahensly's personal representative
has been present in the city throughout the
deliberations from start to finish, and was
only prevented at the last moment from
making the opening address of the congress.
DR.. H oelscher and Father Heiter, the leading
priests on the Committee of Arrange
ments, it is understood, made plain to Herr
Cahensly's envoy the intolerable position
in which the Clerical Union and the Con-
gress would be placed by him in the event
of such a connection being publicly estab-
lished.
Paul Marie Baumgarten is the name of the
envoy, and the Cahensly plan, as far as
known publicly, has been to secure what
would amount to a German-American hier-
archy in America independent OF the pres
ent Catholic bishops, whose authority would
thus be relegated to the affairs of the non
German speaking Catholic population. Fail
hierarchy of the United States were to be
filled to the greatest extent possible by Ger
man ecclesiastics
Father Boerman, of Reading, one of the
chief officials OF the Priesten Verein, was
disagreeably surprised this evening when
with Bishop Wigger at his elbow, he was
asked concerning the presence of Baumgar-
ten in Buffalo, and the extent to which he
has participated in the meeting of the Cleri-
cal Union. Up to that moment no priest
had breathed in public the fact that a Wis
itor to the Congress was present from across
the water, though the clergy had been be-
seiged repeatedly for the names of all i'm
portant personages present.
Father Boerman said angrily: "He hasn't
opened his head at one of the meetings."
A reporter succeeded later in finding DR..
Baumgarten himself The latter was in fgnor-
ance at the time and doubtless is yet, that
his suppressed speech had become public
property. He admitted that he had come
from Rome, but purely for pleasure, and lie
denied that he WAS sent by Cahensley on any
mission. He said that all the talk floating
around on that subject was bosh. ''It is true
am IL D. said he. 81 am Privy Chamber
lain of His Holiness, and am in training in
the academy of the Noble Ecclesiastics at
Rome"
Are you not in sympathy with Cahensly
or his ideas?"
"Not in the least. Why, it Is nonsense to
think of such thing. You may say that
deny it absolutely"
Baumgarten's suppressed speech was evil
IDENTIFY written under the impression that he
was to address large number of the higher
clergy

CANADIAN BOODLERS.
A WILD SCENE DURING THE INvESTI-
CATION OF CHAPLEAU.

The Secretary of State Plays a Big Game of
BuIdozins and FIuff-Sir Hector Lam
gevin Is Being Sacrificed to Save Chap
leau.
OTTAWA, Sept. 24.-[Special ]-"You are
a miserable sneak, was the greeting Lester
had for Sprout in the committee which was
investigating to-day the serious charges
which have been formulated against S,cre-
tary of. State Chapleau. Lester has been
taking the leading part this session in ex-
posing the rottenness and corruption that
has ruled without restraint in official circles
at Ottawa for the past 12 years. In the
committee to-day Lester had evidence of a
most convincing and eliminating character
against Secretary of State Chapleau. In
fact, so sure was he that he had proof of
Chapleau's boodling that he made a direct
charge against him, declaring his ability to
prove it if he was permitted to produce his
witnesses.
Chapleau called his majority to vote
Lester down and then wild scene fol-
lowed. Several Tory members overhauled
their vocabulary of Billingsgate to see who
could go farthest in shcwering rowdy
epithets upon the crest-fallen Liberals, who,
although they had everything ON their side;
were fighting losing battle. The Govern
meut's defense from first to last has been
one of bulldozing and bluff. They have a
sufficient majority at their back to shut
down upon all inquiries when the evidence
becomes too hot. While all this was going
on Chapleau was denying his guilt and pro.
testing against the introduction of the evil
dence, which Lester said would brand him
as one of the most corrupt of Canada's
Doodlers.
Meanwhile n caucus of a number of the
Government supporters was being held. to

case is now being discussed in the House of
Commons. The general impression is that
Sir Hector has been made the catSpaw ofa
tions toward the campaign election fund,
and now, seeing that their sins have found
them out, the Government is throwing him
out of the cabinet. Sir Hector has never
sq1ealed, although he knew that Chapleau
and other members of the Cabinet were
knitting him in the dark.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. A-An effort was made to-
day to ascertain positively whether the men

To-MoRRoW's BIG FOOT RACE.
Darrin Arrives to Tackle McClelland, OF
This City, for the Championship.


Harry Darrin, the English pedestrian, ac-
companied by his hacker, ]. c. Kennedy. OF
New York, arrived in the city yesterday TO
compete against L. c. McClelland in what
promises to be one of the greatest three-
mile foot races that has taken place for
some time. Darrin was looking in toleraDly
good condition, but perhaps not as good as
when he was here to run Peter Priddy.
tomorrow afternoon between the hours OF
and o'clock. The prominence of the run
ners makes the contest one of great import
ance, as Darrin is the champion Of England,
and so far this season McClelland has de-
feated all comers. He has, indeed, had
has now to, face the best man he
has SO far met. and this fact
has prompted him to get into
excellent condition. He has been training at
wheeling and will go the mark tomorrow
in better shape than he has ever been. His
supporters claim that he is running better
now than he ever did and he feels confident
Will be a credit to Pittsburg
Last evening Mr.. Kennedy said: "Darrtn
is all right and If the McClelland party de-
sire it we will increase the stake or bet to
$1,000 side. Of course am aware that Nc
Clelland is an improved man, because saw
him win two or three great races in New
York not long ago. He may defeat Darrin,
but am willing to back my man. If Darrin
wins most certainly we will give Peter
Priddy another go. But 1 am inclined to
think that we are to tackle better man
than Priddy on Saturday. At any rate the
winner ofSaturday's race can justly be called
the champion of the world"
The track will be measured this afternoon
and the referee and starter selected this
evening.

HEADING FOR INDIA.
A Russian Force Encroaches Upon
Territory Forbidden by
THE OLD RUsSO-AFGHAN TREATY.
Captain Younghusband and Another Tray
eler Confirm the News.
TROOPS SENT OUT BY THE BRITISH

LONDON, Sept. PA letter upon the
Younghusband incident is published from
Prof. Arminius Vambery, the distinguished
oriental traveller and writer, who in 1864
travelled in the disguise of a deryish by
routes unknown to Europeans through the
deserts of Oxus to Khiva and thence by
Bokara to Samarcand. Prof Vambery is
professor Of oriental languages at the Uni
versity OF Pesth, and he has for years past
written letter after letter to English news
papers, warning the British Government
and the people of England against the de-
signs of Russia in regard to India.
On September 81 it was announced that
Captain Younghusband, the English agent
and well-known traveller who has made the
longest journey in Chinese territory ever
accomplished by European, had been for
hidden by the Russian authorities to enter
Little Pamir, on the border of the Chinese
possession of East Turkestan. Russia has
taken the step on the ground that she
claims supremacy over the Pamir "Roof of
the World territory.
In this connection, Prof Vambery says
that since the Russo-Afghan treaty was
concluded the Russians, in violation of its
terms, have continued to encroach upon the
lIOHIler line, anu Cney now nOlQ ALI
chur and Pamir, 230 miles beyond the from
tier defined by the Russo Afghan treaty.
As a strange coincidence, at almost the
same moment that Prof. vamperys warn
ing letter appears, advices have been re-
ceived from Captain Younghusband dated
from Kasgar. Captain Younghusband states
that. learning that the Russians had
crossed the Afghan frontier in spite of pro-
tests of the Afghan authorities, and being
informed that the Russians were forcing
their way toward the Pamira, he started
out to verify these reports. Continuing,
the Captain says he found that on August
10 the rear guard of Russians 100 strong,
was at Beze-GumbaZ, near Chilral or Little
kashgar, on the south slope of Hindoo-
koosh. Captain Younghusband, there
fore, placed himself in communication with
the British army post at Gilghit
The British officials in command there
promptly sent a force of 200 Ghoork as to
the scene of the Russian operations. The
Russians who had crossed the tablelands,
on hearing of the approach of the Ghoorkas,
retraced their steps, and joining the rear
guard the whole force retired across the
frontier.

ST. LOUIS, Sept 24.-The business of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge is progressing very
slowly. In the midst of yesterdays pro-
ceedings Grand Lecturer Rixie, of Missouri,
was taken suddenly ill, which necessitated
an adjournment, and various other matters
have occurred, taking the time of the lodge.
The most important business up for action
is the question OF reducing the age of eligi-
bility from 81 to Is years, the question of ex-
Guiding liquor dealers, and the memorial
charging Grand Secretary Ross with un-
seemly conduct.
The first subject taken up was the appeal
of Colonel C. C. Crabb against the decision
of American Lodge No. :, of Chicago, in the
matter of his trial on charges of misde-
meanor. This question was before the
Grand Lodge last year, and was decided ad-
versely to MIR. Crabb. Last years action
was ratified to-day. At one time to-day it
was thought sensation would be unearthed
when charge was presented against the
Committee on Printing and Supplies, alleg-
ing an illegal expenditure of moneys at last
years session, but the matter was finally ex-
planned satisfactorily. Contrary to expecta-
tion the Ross matter, the question of eligi-
bility and the liquor dealer resolution were
not considered. II is said thatall will be de-
cided tomorrow. A vote was taken on a
place of meeting for the seventy-third en-
campment Three cities were in the field.

NASHVILLE, Sept. A.-The trial OF John

his ward, Name Dolan, last December, came
to a sensational ending here to-day, when
Charlotte Rocknitz, the principal witness for

poisoned herself.
She said that she was induced to charge
Moran with the murder because she was
told by Officers Beasley and Hanifant that
if she did not fasten the crime her own
father would be hanged.

EAST LIVERPOOL, Sept. 24-[SpectoI l-Wells-
burg is showing the white feather in the
contest for the championship of the Ohio
Valley, and now refuse to fill a change in
the programme after having fully agreed to
the same. The facts in the case are as
follows: About two weeks ago the baseball
people of Urichsville made very handsome
offer to have the Wellsburg and Eclipse
teams play two Of their games at that place.
Wellsburg fully agreed to this, providing
the Eclipse would transfer the game
scheduled at East Liverpool for October to
Wellsburg. The Eclipse were perfectly
willing and agreed to this and all was con-
sidered settled, and the Urichsville people
went to q considerable expense in adyertis-

The hitch in the proceedings seems to have
been brought about by the Eclipse defeat

The Porte says for several years past ves-

These ships, being under the commercial

were sometimes carrying soldiers, and these

to their real character. The Porte's in

any further detention of vessels of the Rus
