OUARRELING SUFFRAGISTS.
Kansas POpulists Say Mrs. Johns Is
Jealous OF Mary Yellin' Lease.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 19.-The publication
of the recent correspondence between Mrs.
Laura NJ. Johns and Mrs Mary l.. Lease
has caused commotion among the women
of the State. Many reasons are given for
the rupture, but the original provocation
seems to have been Mrs. Leases forcing
the suffrage issue prematurely. 1t the
original intention Of Mrs. Johns and her
associates of the Kansas Equal Suffrage
Association to wait until the men could
agree upon a constitutional convention in
which the women hoped to have representa-
ton and there make their fight, but Mrs.
Lease caused the suffrage plank to be in
corporated in the Populist platform. The
advocates for the original scheme have con-
tinued 10 complain of Mrs. Leases action
until now it is said the quarrel has grown
until it is nothing more or less than a
division in the ranks of the suffragists on
political grounds, the Populists taking
Mrs. Leases side and the Republicans Mrs.
JohnS's. The Populist women say that
back of 1t all and the real inspiration of
the quarrel is the jealousy of Mrs. Leases
growing influence, not only in Kansas, but
In the country at large.

PYRAMID POOL.
Pretty Playing by Both Roberts and
DOrO Last Night.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The attendance
tonight clearly demonstrated that the in
terest in the pyramid pool match between
Roberts, the English champion, and D'Oro
was increasing. D'Oro said he did not feel
we'll on Wednesday night and expected to
make a better showing. The game was re-
sumed on the English table Roberts made
succession of shots in the sixty-seventh
frame and the spectators yelled themselves
hoarse at his beautiful hazards and posi-
ton plays. In break he held thirteen
balls and finally got the remaining two.
This was the first time since the match be-
gan that either player had got the credit
of fifteen balls on the English table He
was unfortunate in the following frame,
however, by making two scratches, which
made 1t necessary for him to spot the next
two balls he made In the seventy-seventh
frame he took fifteen by beautiful play.
and followed it by securing thirteen in the
following frame, running ahead of his adj
versary by score of $50 to 577. The Gu
ban got square few minutes later by TAX
ing the entire thirteen amid rapturous APP
plause putting his total UP to 5S2. Roberts
responded with twelve, which brought him
within three of his adversary. In the last
frame of the nights play. D'Oro made
fourteen, and the game was adjourned
with the score: D'Oro, 6o9; Roberts, $685.

PROBABLY A FAKE"
Report that DIR. Graves's Coffin Con-
tanned a Log Instead Of a Body.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 19.-The News pub
fishes a sensational article to-day to the
effect that DR.. Graves, the famous poison
err who was supposed to have committed
suicide in Jail, is not dead. 1t is main
tanned that a pine log occupied the coffin in
stead of a body.
The story is that Charles n. Chandler, a
wealthy citizen of Thompson Center, Conn,
arrived here Tuesday In company with
Stephen Morse, of the same town, which is
Dr. Grayess old home, and where the body
is supposed to have been buried. These
gentlemen told the hotel proprietor where
Trey stopped that Dr. Graves was not
dead; that the casket opened at the
grave in Thompson Center, against the
protests of the widow, and found to con-
tain a pine log instead of dead body
and that the supposed dead doctor is now
enjoying his liberty in a foreign country
A rumor has been current here for some
time past that the body carried from the
cell In the county jail on that Sunday
morning was wax, and not the flesh of the
alleged famous poisoner, and that this
trick had been played in order to give the
prisoner his liberty and deceive the public;
that the parties to the deception were some
high officials and a secret organization
This rumor was strengthened by the fact
that no one was allowed TO view the re-
mains except the most intimate friends
OF the Graves family, and also that Mrs
Graves refused to allow the body to be
embalmed before shipping Ii to Massachu-
sets, but to-day is the first time the re-
port has appeared in print.

kept busy serving the wines and dishes.

BRITISH DEFEATED.
RumOr That the Matnbeies Have Won
Victory In South Africa.

Victory I'm South Africa.
LONDON, Oct. 19-Kaffir rumors have
reached johannesburg to the effect that the
Matabeles have defeated the British South
Africa Company's column, under the COM
mand of Captain Raafe.
Rider Haggard, the novelist and South
African traveller, said to-day, in speaking
of the war with the Matabeles: "The fight
ing qualities of the Matabeles have never
been tested by contact with a fighting race.
Their warfare has consisted mainly OF raids
on inferior races. They are accustomed to
the most brutal massacres. They Kill men,
women and infants for the distinction il
brings the warriors. They are SO thor
oughly savage that it is impossible for them
to exist beside civilized people. Mr.. Hag-
gard talked at length of the best methods
of fighting South African tribes. He thought
that the Fort Salisbury and Fort Victoria
columns ought 10 be supported by others
who could be called to their assistance.
The recent south African wars, he said, had
shown that the error of the British was to
underrate the enemy This mistake had
been made, he said, in the Zulu war and the
boer campaign, and each time with ulsaS-
trOuS consequences.

THE BATTLE OF TRENTON
COmmemOrated by q Monument Sur.
mounted by Statue of Washington.

TRENTON, N. j., Oct 19.-The monu-
ment to commemorate the battle of Trenton
was unveiled in this city to-day Five
thousand militiamen from New York,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut Massachusetts,
and New Jersey took part in the exercises.
Governor Werts and staff, together with
the visiting Governors, were conveyed in
carriages to the monument, where the ex-
crcises of the day were held. The grand
stand was occupied by many distinguished
persons, among them being Ex-Governor
and Mrs. Greene General Sewell, the New
Jersey Senators and members of Congress,
members OF the Monmouth Battle ASSocia-
ton, the Princeton Battle Association, Sons
of the American Revolution, Daughters of
the American Revolution and of the Soci-
ETY. of Cincinnati. After a selection by the
Seventh Regiment Band, William Stryker
president of the association, came forward
and introduced Bishop Starkey, of New
York, who invoked the divine blessing on
this suspicious occasion. General Stryker
then made the opening address, and was
followed by many well known and prom
inent men. The occasion was one long to
be remembered for the memory of those
present as we'll as the object for which they
met. The battle monument has for it's
principal ornament a large bronze statue
OF Washington, which stands on top of
handsome shaft. The monument is $50 feet
above the street level and weighs four mil
lion pounds, and the shaft alone cost over
$4,000 The bronze statue of Washington
at the top of the shaft was presented by the
State of New York, through legislative APP
preparation, in view of the fact that the
troops participated in the battle of Trenton.

fate of our country. The shaft itself COM

SPEECH BY THE KAISER.
wilhelm Unveils Statue of HIS
Grandfather and Talks.

BREMEN, Oct 49, - Emperor William
yesterday attended the unwilling of the
monument erected to the memory Of EN-
peror William i, his grandfather. Upon his
arrival here Emperor William proceeded
direct to the statue, where the Mayor
made a laudatory speech, in which he
greeted the Emperor the preserver and
continuer of the work begun by his grand
father. The Emperor then unveiled the
statue amid the cheers of the multitude
assembled, and the ceremony ended. The
Emperor afterwards drove through the
city, visiting the Citizens Park, and re-
turned In time to attend banquet at the
Rathhaus. At the banquet the Emperor
made a speech, in which he said:
I'm the elevating festival which has just
been celebrated the city of Bremen has

breast a presentment of coming events
and a burning desire for the unity OF his
beloved fatherland, and then, when the
dawn Of the new empire broke into splendor
he was permitted to realize the dreams OF
youth. His German sword in hand, the son

illustrious man, after many years of sore

COrbett and Mitchell Cannot Fight
at COney Island.
Mayor Body. of Brooklyn, Serves Warn
ing ON the Pugilists-The En-
glishman Quite Angry.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Mayor Body, Of
Brooklyn, to-day gave il out that he would
not permit the prize fight between Corbett
and Mitchell to take place at Coney Island
District Attorney Ridgeway is also reported
to have said that the offering of purse
by the Coney Island Athletic Club was
more or less Of a bluff to find out how the
people of Brooklyn and Kings county would
stand ii, and that the tolerance of a prize
fight-that is international prize fight
would never be considered. The sporting
men of New York do not actually laugh
out loud at the campaign documents" but
some of them do say that the bluff is on the
part of the politicians. Some go far enough
TO add that, as soon as the election Is oyer oyer
bout will be as it was a day ago-that is,
that 1t will go on, if John Y. McKane, the
boss OF Gravesend, says it may. Others
insist that Governor Flower, who stopped
boxing in Buffalo, TO be consistent, must
make these sluggers go elsewhere than III, In
afternoon said that he would fight either
man under any terms. He preferred Mitch
ell, and expressed desire TO meet the
Englishman, rough and tumble, or any
way. Sheriff Courtney, when asked If 1T
true that the fight would not take
place, said: NO.. there will be no tight.
What Mayor Body says is perfectly true,
and the fight cannot come off,.
Charley Mitchell, who Is now in Pitts
burg, was very angry Wnen INFORMED Dy a
reporter that Mayor Body, of Brookly'..
had decided that the fight between Corbeti
and himself could not take place at Coney
island. 1t the first definite intima ton
that the English pugilist had received of
the intended interference by the Brooklyn
authorities. and he at once LAUNCHED out
into bitter denunciation OF the New York
ministers, who he claimed were response
BILE for Mayor Boody's action. He said
they did not know the difference between
q priZe-fight and a boxing match, and they
would do well to attend to their own bus
mess No attempt was made to stop small
fights but an international affair gave the
preachers an opportunity TO get little
cheap notoriety.
Mitchell then declared that the fight would
have to come of. The money was up. and
IL they could not fight In this country he
would insist upon settling the matter in
Mexico or Cuba under London priZe-ring
rules on the turf for the original stakes.
The purse was no object. He would pre-
fer 70 have the contest in New Orleans or
San Francisco, but IL this cannot be ar
ranged he will demand that Corbett go out
of the country with him and fight for the
10000 a side. He had cancelled everything
else and would insist upon this In con-
clusion Mitchell said that If the fight was
prevented. by Brooklyn's Mayor he would
be in s.. 900. as the officials of the Coney
Island Club had put up $4,000 guarantee
that the mill would come off under their

LONDON, Oct. 19.-Seaman jenkins. Of

Swansea, recites a terrible tale Of the ex-
periences of that vessel in transporting
Arab pilgrims who had been to Mecca
back to Morocco. He says that the pill

to crowd the vessels accommodations to
the utmost, and that they were all in a
filthy condition. Not only the hold, but
the decks, swarmed with the worshipers,
and he gives awful account of the sick
ness and mortality that occurred during
the trip. According to his story, the deaths
from cholera among the pilgrims amounted
to forty daily. The corpses were not dis
posed of in the usual way, but were sus-
pended by ropes from the sides of the
vessel, where they hung rotting and stink

remarkable proceeding was due to the Mo-
