The Commercial Traveller Associations
Lays the Cornerstone.

The Commercial Traveller Association
Lays the Cornerstone.
B1NGHAMProN, N. Y, October H.
Fully go, 900 visitors are in the city to-
day, the occasion being the cornerstone
laying of the Commercial Travellers As
ISOLATION of America. Flags and bunt-
ing greet the eye on every hand, while
the principal streets are 30 crowded with
visitors that they are almost impossible.
The commercial men from all over the
United States have gathered to partici-
pate in the ceremonies. There are fully
5000 of them in Binghampton to-day.
The celebration included parade
through the principal streets of the city.
winding up at the home site, which is
situated on top OF South Mountain, just
within the southern limits of the city.
The parade was one of the largest seen
in Southern New York. It consisted of
many delegations of commercial men,
thirty-fve Odd Fellow Lodges, the Ma
sonic Fraternity of the Nineteenth and
Twentieth New York districts, the Thir-
tenth Regiment of Pennsylvania Ma
tional Guard. the local fire department
and many civic and fraternal organiza-
tions. Arriving at the Home, John
Hodge, Most Worthy Grand Master of
the Free and Accepted Masons of the
State of New York, laid the cornerstone
according to the Masonic ritual. Colonel
Archie Baxter of Elmira delivered the
grafton of the day, after which Governor
Flower and Governor Pattison made
speeches, in which each eulogized the
commercial travellers and said many
pleasant things for the Home. The cele-
bration was success in every sense of
the word.

HE WANTS INDEMNITY.
Another American Escapes From the
Russian Prisons.

Another American Escapes From the
Russian Prisons.
WASHINGTON, October 11.-Nicholason
Frederickson, claiming to be an Amer
lean citizen who was seized and impris-
oned in Russia and afterward made his
escape, called at the State Department
to-day in furtherance of claim for In
demnity for illegal arrest. Frederickson
asserts he was born on shipboard in Per-
sian waters of Swedish father and a
half breed Esquimau mother. He re-
sided in Alaska when the Territory was
acquired by the United States, and 30
became an American citizen. He was at
school in Chicago during his boyhood,
and returned there during the Worlds
Fair to work as q machinist. At the
time he took out naturalization papers to
meet request by the authorities OF
Alaska to recognize his citizenship. In
Russia last winter he was arrested and
imprisoned as deserter. Later he was
set free and kept under surveillance.
Again he was imprisoned, and managed
to escape and made his way to New York.
The impression conveyed by the mans
story is that he is suffering from a case
of mistaken identity. He told his story
to the State Department officials; but,
as a mere statement does not meet the
requirements, he will have to prefer a
formal complaint before the department
can act in the matter of securing indem-
nifty for him.

discriminating Documents Filed With .
Federal Court.
DUBUQUE, Ia, October 11.-Special
Examiner Waite of the pension bureau
in obedience to an order of Judge Shiras
in the Federal Court has filed the docu-
ments captured in the famous tin box in
Pension Agent George M. Van Leven's
private Office at Lime Springs. The doc
uments are mostly in the form of CORE
spondence discriminating upon its face
Van Leven and certain of the Board of
Medical Examiners with whom he had
relations. Nearly all of the numerous
indictments found against the pension
attorney are to be based on these letters.
About 700 papers are filed. Some of
these letters are to pension claimants
whom Van Leven advised to "grease"
the members of the board in order to
have their examinations 60 through
smoothly. Others are letters between
agents and surgeons, in which terms are
arranged for raising pensions. Itappears
Van Leven gave the claimants to under
stand this payment of money to med
ical examiners was the usual thing es-
tablished by long practice, and it did not
appear there was corrupt intention on
the part of the claimants.

CHINA'S EMPEROR AWAKE.
He is Now Taking the Initiative in the
Work of Defense.

He Is Now Tak1ng the Initiative IN the
Work of Defense.
LONDON, October 1.-THE Times has
this dispatch from its correspondent in
Tien Tsin: The Emperor is now taking
the initiative, and is infusing new en-
ergy into the work of national defense,
mastering military resources, the exist
ence of which was scarcely suspected.
The Viceroys of Yonk Wei and Hulk
Wang have been summoned to Picking
for counsel. The Japanese Admiral has
been making sham demonstrations with
dummy ships painted white like war
vessels, but there always have been the
same two cruisers appearing about the
promontory of Shang Tung. The Jap
anese are taking elaborate pains
to conceal their losses in the
recent engagement; nevertheless the
truth is gradually coming out. Their
feet was crippled more seriously than
the Chinese were aware. The Japanese
papers received contain falsified version
of the Chinese Emperor's declaration of
war. The phrase, " roofing the pestllen-
tial Japanese from their lair" is not In
the orr inal. Experience has shown that
the Japanese accounts of events preced-
ing and during the war have been sys-
tematically misleading.

PULLMAN CHARTER CASE.

CHICAGO, October 10.-The Pullman
quo warranto proceedings were brought
up again before Judge Gibbons this
morning, Attorney General Maloney be-
ing on hand early to see what procedure
the attorneys of the company would
adopt. General Counsel Bunnells OF the
Pullman Company announced that his
company had decided to file a plea to
the information filed by the Attorney
General, and that it was now on file in
the Clerks Office. Attorney General
Maloney in response said that the
probability would be that he would
demur to the plea after he had
read it, and in that case would
be in a position to argue his demurrer
during the day. Mr.. Bunnells agreed TO
give Mr.. Maloney copy OF the plea in
Short time, and Judge Gibbons there
upon gave the attorneys until 2 O'Clock
this afternoon to present the matter fur
ther to him. The plea fled by the COM
pany is long document, and covers the
same ground as the information, deny
inc most OF the charges of the latter docu-
ment. It. declares that the company is
not holding land or stocks or any other
corporations in violation OF its charter,
and is not transacting any business be-
yond its corporate rights.

NO LAST WORD SPOKEN.

DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes End Came
Unheralded and Sudden.
BosToN, October 1O.-Death came to
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes in a cham
Der overlooking the Charles river, inn
mortalized in the famous poem, My
Aviary." The members of the family
thought that the end might come in a
few months; that the aged autocrat
would not survive the chilling winds of
another New England winter; and they
were unprepared for his death Sunday.
Seated in his chair, unconsciousness
came to him, and in short half hour
bis spirit had flown. There was no time
to put him into bed, and before the ply
stefan, who had been summoned, could
arrive DIR. Holmes was dead. There
were no last passing words spoken, for
the end came unheralded and sudden.
DR.. Holmes and his distinguished son,
Judge Holmes, were in the midst OF q
conversation in the poets chamber Sum
day afternoon just preceding the formers
death, and to neither, certainly not to
tL0 uuRC, W66 tuCAO ONANOAAOO U.A~s
the end was so near. The conversation
was such as was often held between the
two men. The dying poet, for he was
even then, it seems, passing away, was
sitting in chair with his head bowed
upon the arm of another chair, and it
was thought he would be more comfort
able if he could be moved into his favor
lite arm chair. Accordingly his son sup
ported him to the big chair, and as the
poet sank into it, he leaned his head on
one of the side rests and said:
THAT is better; thank you"
This simple domestic phrase was the
final utterance of Dr.. Holmes. His son
and Mrs. Dixwen, who were in the room,
soon noticed that the doctors breathing
became irregular, and it almost ceased
altogether.
The residence was closed to all visit
ors. Messages of sympathy from all
over the country have been received, and
many callers have left their cards at the
house. The funeral will be to-day
at Kings chapel, and the services will
be conducted by DR.. Edward Everett
Hale, lifelong companion The in
terment will be in the Jackson lot at
Mount Auburn. The pall-bearers will
be members of the family.

ANOTHER WAR PROBABLE.

the National Game.

SHouIu AZ Comes 1t Will seriously Hurt
the National Game.
New YORK, October 1.-THE Sun this
morning says: The National League
magnates have put their heads together.
The many stories regarding the forma-
ton of the new national association are
beginning to worry them, and the in
ability of certain clubs to sign their play
ers has caused the big moguls to take
some decisive action. Accordingly notice
has been quietly sent to the various clubs
that secret meeting of league men will
be held in this city to-day. Several of
them were in town last night and talked
things over in private. From a reliable
source reporter learned that the league
as body intended to issue a proclama-
ton in few days to the effect that all
players signing in the new association
would be expelled. It is also known
that the league has had agents on the
road investigating the truth of the va
rious association stories and endeavor-
ing to sign players, and that information
gathered by these men warrants con-
ference at once. The calling of special
conference early in the fall is almost un-
precedented in the history of the league,
and shows that the magnates are not
treating their new rival too lightly. In
fact, they have been scheming ever since
the fact became known that the associ-
alton was probability"
ALL SHOULD BE EXPELLED.
New YORK, October 12-It leaked out
yesterday that certain New York and
Baltimore players agreed to equally d.
vide their shares of the receipts from the
Temple Club games. From good author
ity it was learned that Doyle and Davis
agreed to ''whack up" with Keller and
McGraw, while Kelly, Brouthers and
Gleason consented to a division with
three other New York players. When
Harry Vonderhorst of the Baltimore
club learned this, he said: THAT con-
vinces me that this whole Temple cup
business has been a farce, and I shall
offer resolution at the coming league
meeting that the trophy be returned to
Mr.. Temple with thanks. Instead of
such series l think it would have been
better for the league to put up purse of
$4,000, of which S., 900 should 60 to the
winners of the pennant, $1,000 to the
second team and $4,000 to the third"

These May be Established by the West
ern Lines.

CHICAGO, October 10. At to-day's
meeting of the advisory committee Of
the emigrant clearinghouse of the West
ern Passenger Association formal pro-
test was sent to the Trunk Line Associ-
alton declaring that the distribution of
emigrant business was made matter of
agreement between the two associations,
and the action Of the trunk lines in can
ceiling the agreement, without confer
ence and apparently without cause, has
caused much surprise to Western lines.
1t is asked that all action be suspended
Immediately and until conference of
the associations can be held in New
York. The Western lines say, if such
conference is to be held, they prefer it
should be held either the 10Th or 18th.
The protest ends with the declaration
that it is the belief of the Western lines
that the trunk lines will not push the
matter so far that the Western lines
will be forced to take independent ac-
ton, which means that if the trunk lines
persist in their present course the West
ern lines will find it necessary to estab-
ish ticket offices of their own through
the East to look after their interests.
The trunk lines have made a demand
upon the Western lines that they with
draw all their orders from the trunk line
territory. They declare that the invasion
of the Eastern territory by the Western
lines is without reason or excuse, and is
resulting in much loss of revenue to the
trunk lines. There is doubt as to whether
the association will pay any attention to
the demand for the reason that the mat
ter is scarcely in the jurisdiction of the
association, and the lines are free to act
as they see fit in the matter. They first
put all their orders in the territory of
the Eastern lines because they thought
they were not being treated with justice
in the matter of returning through bust
ness, and 30 took this remedy into their
own hands. The association as an as
ISOLATION will probably take no action of
any kind in the matter. All in all there
seems to be an excellent chance for warm
words between the Western association
and the trunk lines before the thing is
adjusted.

A BOUNDARY DISPUTE
Cleveland to Decide Between
Brazil and Argentine.
A VERY COMPLICATED CASE.

Nearly Twelve Thousand Square Miles,
Mostly Peopled by Braxilians, Are to
be Passed Upon-Forthcoming De-
cision Awaited With Anxiety.
WASHINGTON, October 9. President
Cleveland is expected to give his de-
cision as arbitrator of the boundary dis
pute between Brazil and Argentine soon
after his return from Buzzard's Bay.
Baron Rio Branco, special envoy from
Brazil, accompanied by large suite, is
now here awaiting the decision. The
case has been in Mr.. Cleveland's hands
eight months, and as the treaty of arbi-
tration provides the decision must be
made within year, it is being looked
for almost any day. The time for the
decision expires February 10 next; but,
as Mr.. Cleveland will be busy with Con-
gress and public affairs after his return,
he is expected to dispose of the arbitra-
ton question before taking up domestic
affairs. It is understood that he has
made the arbitration his special study
during working hours at Buzzard's Bay
this summer. It is a very complicated
case, the brief of Baron Rio Branco
filling several large volumes, while the
maps, old treaties, ETC., and the briefs of
DR.. Zabailos. the Argentine Minister,
make fair sized-library. Mr.. Cleve-
land has not turned this mass of docu-
ments over to the State Department.,
but has undertaken personally to 20
through it and unravel the dispute. It
is a self-imposed task which the Presi-
dent does out of courtesy to the South
ern Republics, and in the extent of in
terests involved and legal complications
it is as large as any case pending in the
United States Supreme Court.
Mr.. Cleveland's decision will settle
whether the eastern boundary of East
ern Argentine remains as usually given
in maps or is extended by a wedge
shaped projection almost to the Atlantic
coast. If Argentine gains this strip, it
will have q considerable effect on South
ern Brazil, as it will almost sever the
great State of Rio Grande do Sui from
Upper Brazil, the remaining connection
being a very narrow isthmus compared
with the general width of Brazil. On
the other hand, it will give Argentine q
narrow arm of land stretching from the
north to within forty leagues of the At
lantic. The forthcoming decision is
awaited with anxiety by the Southern
ENJOYS, as it means much to the STRAIT
egic strength of the two prominent
South American countries. Moreover,
the disputed territory is itself very val
liable for it's mineral and agricultural re-
sources. It embraces 1882 square
miles, with towns and villages having a
population of s, 1913, most of them Brazil
ians.
Mr.. Cleveland's arbitration is the re-
suit of the treaty made when Dom Pedro
was Emperor of Brazil. 1t has taken
since then to make the surveys and
present the case, and Mr.. Cleveland's
decision will close the long controversy:
He is obliged under the treaty to give all
the disputed territory to Brazil or to Ar
gentine, so that there is no opportunity
for a compromise that will satisfy both
parties.

CHICAGO, October Ill. P. Jacobson's
suit for her heart and hand was rejected
by Mrs. Johanna Baseman, a widow,
Friday night. Saturday morning band
marched up in front of Mrs. Baseman's
home, 26S Rumsey street. Then the
notes of "Sweet Marie" began floating
through the neighborhood. Whose
Girl Are Your" followed with Kiss and
Let's Make Up Again, and enough more
to keep the band busy for twelve hours.
Mrs. Baseman begged the leader to leave,
but he said no; that Mr.. Jacobson had
paid handsomely for the music, and the
contract must be carried out. The whole
neighborhood gathered about the band.
The children danced and the parents gig
pled. Mrs. Baseman was wild. At 8
P. M. the band quit. Yesterday morn
ing the band again marched up to the
widows home and began the roper
toire all over again. Mrs. Baseman hur-
riedly consulted lawyer, with the re-
suit that a warrant was sworn out for
jacobson, and an injunction was secured
against the band.

wEEvILs AND WHEAT.

Much OF the Wheat Stored I'm San Fran.
cisco Has Been Destroyed.
SAN Francisco, October 9.-An even
ing paper states that weevils are playing
havoc with the stored wheat in this port,
and if something is not done soon, there
will be no grain left with which to load
the disengaged ships now in port. Some
DAYS ago it was publicly stated that 6, 200
tons of wheat at Port Costa was weeyily,
and now it is announced that II, 600 tons
at the Nevada dock and A, 400 moro at
Port Costa are infected and will have to
be removed. That makes %, 200 tons
unfit for shipment, and will have to Be
used for pig or chicken feed. If the wheat
had been shipped at the low rates of
freight in existence q few months ago,
small profit might have been made.
Now it will be total loss.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK.

Report Submitted.

The Acting Superintendent Annual
Report Submitted.
WASHINGTON, October 9.-Captain H.
G. Gale of the Fourth Cavalry, Acting
Superintendent of the Yosemite Ma
tional Park, Cal, has submitted his re-
port to the Secretary of the Interior.
He says there are many misunderstand-
ings owing to the private ownership OF
land in the park. 1t would be wise, he
believes, for the government to purchase
the timber land in the park, and he
thinks it would also be advisable for q
commission to be appointed to appraise
all land owned by private parties and
learn if it could be secured. Game in
the park is on the increase. The report
recommends q reduction in the size OF
the park by Withdrawing the mining
and agricultural lands, and advocates
the addition of natural instead of arti-
fetal boundary lines. The reduction
would be to throw out about twenty
townships and leave the remainder of
the park almost wholly in possession Of
the government.

SAN Francisco, October lit is stated
here that the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company is about to absorb the Occi-
dental and Oriental Steamship Company.
The latter company was started about
twelve years ago by the Southern Pacific
Company in opposition to the Pacific
Mail. For time there was lively rate
war, but compromise was effected and
the steamers of the two companies di-
yided the business between this port and
the Orient. C. P. Huntington is now
President Of both companies, and az it is
stated that the steamship lines Of the
Northern and Canadian Pacific have cut
into the business from this port, the con-
solidation is proposed as measure OF
economy. The Pacific Mail owns its own
vessels, but the Occidental and Oriental
leases it, steamers from the White Stag
line.
