p"als in the Three Contests.
ALBANY, N. Y, Oct IA The imme-
date result Of the decision of the Court
Of Appeals which upholds the Apportion-
ment act of 1892. will be the redistrict-
ing of the counties of Oneida, Duchess
and Monroe, whose Boards of Supervisors
refused to obey the law. In the remain
ing ffty-seven counties the redistricting
has already been done.
The court is unanimous upon all the
questions involved except those discussed
in Judge Andrews opinion.
The cases aud decisions are as follows:
The people ex rel Bond, as appellant,
vs.. the Supervisors of Monroe county.
The court is asked to issue writ of man
damus compelling the Board of Super
visors of Monroe county to redistrict the
Assembly districts in that county in COM
pliance with the Apportionment law
passed by the last Legislature.
Orders reversed, and motions for a
mandamus granted with all costs.
Second case-The people ex rel Horn,
appellant, vs. the Board of Supervisors Of
Oneida county, the same proceedings as
in the Monroe case.
Orders reversed, and motions for man
damus granted with costs in all courts.
Third case-The people ex rel George
G. Carter, Of Utica, appellant, VS.. Frank
Rice, Secretary Of State 1t asks the
court to grant an injunction order re-
straining the Secretary of State from
recognizing the new Apportionment law,
or sending out notices OF election of mem
bers Of Assembly to County Clerks u nder
that law
Order affirmed, with costs in all courts
The opinions are written by Judges
Peckham and Gray. Earl, O'Brien and
Maynard concur, and Andrews dissents
OF one question: in which Finch concurs.
Judge Peckham writes the principal
opinion in the three cases. IT. covers
lorty-six pages of type written copy He
says in it, after reciting the character of
the three cases:
All the proceedings have for their OBJ
iect the decision of the question as to the
validity OF the appOrtionment act of 1892
The boards of supervisors, counties Of
Monroe and Oneida, are the only boards
OF the only counties in the State which
have refused to make a division of their
counties into Assembly districts for the
purpose Of carrying out the provisions Of
the Act Of 1892,
This apportionment Act of 1892, it is
! alleged, violates the provisions of the con-
stitution in several particulars and the
court is called upon to decide the ques-
tions involved at the earliest practicable
moment in order that the supervisors and
the election officers may be guided in the
discharge Of their duties by the opinion
of this court
We have given all the considera,
tion possible to these cases since
the argument thereof, and while
the questions are in themselves
most important and far reaching, yet
we are compelled by the necessities of the
case to decide them at the earliest mo
ment. We, however, feel more compet
ent to do this because, however import
ant the question may be, we think thu
proper and correct answers are quite
plain and clear.

The Ex-secretary of State Declines to
Talk of the situation He is Looking
and Feeling well--His Plans Not Yet
Decided On.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Oct. 14.-Mr.
Blaine is passing the time quietly at
Ophir Farm, the residence of Whitelaw
Reid, resting after his trip from Maine
Although distinguished delegation
came up from New York yesterday af-
ternoon be did not meet them until he
came downstairs to dinner at o'clock in
the evening The gentlemen whom Mr..
Reid had invited to meet Mr.. Blaine were
Gen. James S. Clarkson, Cornelius N.
Bliss, Chairman Carter, of the Republi-
can National Committee, and Secretary
McComas
To press representative Mr.. Reid
stated this morning that the visit of Mr.
Blaine, and his meeting with the direct
ors of the Republican campaign, had no
political significance. 1t was purely
social affair, and not gathering for the
holding Of an important conference as to
the progress of the campaign.
Mr. Reid also said that Mr.. Blaine was
not induced to come on in order TO give
the managers of the campaign an oppor-
tunity to make personal and united ap-
peal to him to deliver one or more cam
paign speeches.
II have been expecting Mr.. Blaine to
visit me for some time" said Mr.. Reid,
"aud he has not been able to come until
now. He is on his way to his Washing
ton residence, and while / would be most
happy to have him with me for some
time, / am not certain that he will remain
longer than the end of this week.
Mrs. Blaine expects to arrive in New
York on Monday, and will 90 to the
home of her daughter, Mrs Damrosch,
for visit. Mr.. Blaine may 90 there also
for time, and he may then go on to
Washington, and he may return here.
His plans are not yet settled.
'Now, about Mr.. Baines health, he
has been unwell all summer and is now
improving rapidly. The way in which
he stood the trip from Bar Harbor speaks
volumes. He is looking and feeling very
we'll after his twenty-four hours in the
cars. He positively declines to see news
paper men and to talk politics.
1t is the general opinion here, in spite
OF what Mr.. Reid says that a strong effort
will be made to induce NJ. Blaine to ap-
pear at least once at Madison Square
Garden, and deliver one of his magnetic
speeches in behalf of the Republican
ticket. The absence of Mr. Harrison
from the campaign made necessary by the
illness Of his wife, has. it is said, led the
members of the National Republican
Committee to decide that some strong
climax is needed to arouse enthusiasm in
i'm the ranks and call ont a full vote m
election day.
Whether the arguments of General
Clarkson, Joseph Manley, Cornelius N.
Bliss and Mr.. Reid, all of whom are
strong personal friends of the ex-Secre-
tary of State, will induce him to run the
risk attendant upon entering a political
campaign in his present physical condition
is uncertain. The matter is evidently
being seriously considered, and the visit
of James G.. Blaine to Whitelaw Reid may
have a marked effect upon the campaign.

CALLED COLUMBUS A LAB.
Judge Tourgee's Attack on the DIsoovorer
at Detroit.

at Detroit.
DETROIT, Mich, Oct. IA Columbus
was liar" said Albion w, Tourgee in
a lecture before 5000 people assembled
in the Auditorium to celebrate the dis
covery of America. Nor was this the
m ost surprising sentence in the invec-
tive Tourgee delivered against the navi-
gator.
every act of his life was one of ego
tism, " he said, "and intended to satisfy
his greed of gain aud fame.
Everything he sailed on was wrong,
and he discovered America because he
was lost and could not do otherwise.
ellis every act was one of selfishness,
and he stole the credit of first seeing land
from his faithful sailor, who was on
watch.
'He kept two logs, in order to deceive
his crew. He was lavishing prom
ises he never expected to keep. His
prayers always concerned himself
''His parents were Uhriftless, and are
known to history only through the evil
dences of indebtedness they left He was
probably Mediterranean pirate in his
early days, and not a single act of his life
up to the time he was 90 years old was
worthy of recording"
These are only samples of Mr.. Tourgee's
conclusions concerning Columbus. The
people who heard him were non-plussed

Says He Was Only Trying TO Pump the
Globe Reporter,

Globe " Reporter
PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct. a. Private
Detective McHenry, the author of the
story published in the Boston "Globe,"
regarding the Borden case, is now endeav-
oring to show to the Fall River authori-
ties that he was working in their behalf
and that his intention was to trick the
"Globe" reporter"
He alleges that he felt that the reporter
was playing part, and that he was try
ing to find out just what the reporter
was up to, and for whom he was work
ing, intimating that the evidence in the
case which the newspaper man was to
buy was to be communicated to tha de-
fence in the Borden case.
McHenry says:
'My only object in leading the reporter
off on a wild goose chase was to see if the
surnise held by me and others was cor
rect and, in order that the paper he rep
resented might not be led into error,
explicitly cautioned him not to publish
anything without giving me twenty-four
hours notice
"Having obtained ali that l wanted
from him, it was my desire to tell him,
when he gave me the notice that | re-
quired, that he had better not publish the
story, as it was not true
"Instead of notifying me, as he prom
ised, he rushed the storysinto print, and
the result is that the paper he represented
was foolishly caught by plan which was
intended solely to find out just where the
reporter stood, aud howAfar he was aid
ing the Government or the defence in his
detective work.
McHenry denies having received any
money from the "Globe" man.

Whereabouts Mystery.
BosToN, Oct. 1.-THE alleged gross
misconduct of ex-Judge Eben Hutchin-
son, of Chelsea, has been called to the at
tion of the Superior Court in a formal
way by the Boston Bar Association.
The Judges whereabouts is mystery,
and the condition of things makes it
probable that he has left the State for
ever. He is charged by the association
with deceit, malpractice and misconduct,
and the charges are laid before the
Superior Court.
The Judge will have about three weeks
longer to determine whether or not he
will deny the charges and go to a hearing
of them. The committee of the Bar As
sociation which heard the charges found
that each charge was sustained by the
evidence.
If the Judge makes no appearance the
case will be heard by the Superior Court
before an order for disbarment is entered.

NEW YoRk's EXHIBITION ovrR.
A Brilliant banquet Winds Up the
Columbian Festivities.


New YORK, Oct 14.-As if to Justify
Sydney Smiths witticism that every
event, even an earthquake, must he cele-
brated by the Anglo-Saxon race by a
banquet, even if they hunt a place amid
the ruins in which to dine, New York s
celebration of the discovery of America
was closed by banquet last night.
The auditorium of the LeuoX Lyceum,
Fifty ninth street and Madison avenue,
where the feast was held, is an ideal
banquet hall. Well proportioned and
lofty, its natural advantages were en-
hanced by decorations and wonderfully
artistic electric lighting to point of ex-
ceeding beauty. The balconies were
hung with hand-embrodered designs of
the ancient armor of Italy and Spain on II
background of crimson plush inter-
spersed with United States shields and
the colors Of Italy aud Spain.
Among those who were present were
nearly all the most notable persons in
the Government of the United States, the
Army and Navy, members Of the foreign
legations at Washington, Judges of the
United States Supreme Court and of the
higher State courts, Governors of several
States Of the Union, members of the City
Government, the Board of Education,
prominent members of the Chamber of
Commerce, New York Stock Exchange,
together with representative men from all
professions.
The boxes and seats were all occupied,
and there were about 800 spectators in
addition to the banqueters. The tables
were decorated with flowers and smilax,
and the walls were hung with flags ban
ners and silk curtains.
At the head table were seated Vice
President Morton, Postmaster. General
Wanamaker, the Hon. William Sulzer,
Congressman A. J. Cummings, Secretary
Tracy, Gen. Horace Porter, Secretary
Foster, Governor Flower, Mayor Grant,
eX-President Cleveland, the Hon. j. H. V.
Arnold, aud Commissioner Wahle.
Others who were present were Senator
Hill, General Schofeld, General Ruggles,
General Howard, Governor Bulkeley of
Connecticut Governor Pattison Of Penn
sylvania, Governor Albeit of New Jer-
sey, Rutherford b. Hayes and Governor
Russell of Massachusetts.
There was one empty chair at the table
of honor. Chauncey Depew, who was to
have acted as toastmaster was absent
Mayor Grant supplied his place as best he
could Mr.. Depews unexplained absence
deprived the after dinner oratOry Of much
of its sparkle.
At tu close of the dinner at l0p m.

in the vicinity of Moscow were ap-

and put in large crops. When the
land was sold squatters armed them
selves and refused to allow the pur-
chasers to take possession, at least
until their crops were harvested.
Wiley secured an injunction against
R. S. Brown, restraining him from
filing duplicate receipts for the land
with State Auditor Moody. The
case has been referred to the State

| It is only few days ago that the
WORLD man remarked, but the re-
mark, however, did not find its way
into the columns of the paper, that II
was about time for Stamps Anderson
TO make his regular annual sale Of the
Atlanta mines for million or SO.
This news has reached US with great
regularity each spring for ten or
twelve years, always accompanied by
the gratifying and positive assurance,
duly certified ana vouched for, that
this time 1t is go, without . ghost
OF show Of turning out other than
just so and SO, and that the money is
on the way and will be paid without
delay, and Atlanta will have great
big gala day-that she'll make a big
jump and her pulse will thamp, in a
way that will astonish the natives, or
"any other man." or words to that
effect. Without this regular, annual,
puIsat;ng, rejuvenating news (which
always cometh in the vernal time of
the year associated with the name of
gentle Annie, and other gentle and
genial thlngs) the ,pnngtime would
appear a mockery and life almost a
failure. We predicted a few days
ago that the good news would come
floating along in due time, which was
near at hand, and now it has come.
If it hadn't come we'd have been
filed with sad repining, vain regrets
and divers and sundry other disagree
able psychological commodities of a
narrowing nature. But the good
news has come, and we feel natural.
The sale was made this time, as it has
always been made heretofore, to
English capitalists. We can get along
first rate now until the news of the
same nature reaches us again when
the grass begins to grow in 1898.
