CONSPIRACY
BUSTED,

A half dozen of the ITO patrolmen who
were to have Joined the secret "benevo-
lent order met quietly yesterday after
noon in Decker's Hall on York street.
Several hours were devoted to charging
policemen in every precinct with hay
ing violated their pledges to secrecy.
Hugh Prendergast, who is accused OF
first giving the scheme away, was being
hauled over the Goals in great shape
when a friend of his declared that there
were men in the First precinct who did
twice as much talking as he did. The
secret order will doubtless be aban-
doned. The fact thai the Chief knows
the true object of the order has fright
ened the men.

man this morning, land we thought by
organizing we could get it. The jig is
up. and I am through with secret or

1t was stated this morning that it was
intended to assess each member of he
order s25 as soon as organization was
effected. There are 200 patrolmen in the
city. With $1,000 it was expected to get
a bill through the Legislature increasing
the pay of a ~patrolman from $1,000 to

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE
Episcopal bishops Deal With It In
Thefr Pastoral ddreax.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. %, 1S95.-The pas
toral address of the Bishops of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church was given out
today. 1t is largely routine in character,
the most interesting points beng those
in reference to the Massacre of Chris
tian missionaries in China and the Sun
day observance law.
n reference to the latter matter the adj
dress says: Recent events in some parts
of our country compel us to call your
determined attack upon the use and pur-
pose of the weekly day of rest known at
the beginning of the Christian era as
It IS declared in the law of God to be
His own day, and by ~theSavious of Man
by a divine command and by the perpet-
ual sanctity. of Q human right. Men
may and ought to worship God every day;
but for the greater assurance Of this
duty one day in seven has, with the
formal sanction of all Christian c%iviliza-
ton, been set apart for its due observ-
ance.
This order cannot be deserved without
grave evils to the individual and the
family. to society and the State. It
seems almost incredible that our mod
ern life should be- capable. of bringing
divine and beneficent an institution.
And yet the peril and disaster of UGH
a menace confront Christian people in
you, dear brethren, to meet this menace
ity that may be presented to de-
cline battle with the insatiate greed
of the liquor traffic, and the growing de-
ments, which with Increasing boldness

ULTIMATUM HABIT,
Bu Cable 10 The United Press.

LONDON Oct. %. S95.--The "st.
James's Gazette in a leading editorial
on the Venezuelan situation. says that
the case IS not one for arbitration. and
adds
The good Offices of the United States
would be rendered with greater authority
and better grace If that Government
paid the indemnity it is required to a
by the Behring Sea award. We were alb
surdly ovetaxed by the Alabama decision.
The 'St. James Gazette also says the
statement is absolutely untrue that the
despatch or ulitmatum to
Venezuela was delivered to Senior Rodri-
suez, Venezuelan consul here. AS. the
German Government has consented to
temporarily. take. charge of the inter
ests of British subjects in Venezuela, the
Gazette says, the depatch to President
Crespo will naturally be transmitted
through the Foreign Office at Berlin.
The ultimatum, it Is asserted, makes no
reference to the boundary question, which
England declines to regard as unsettled,
but simply deals with the matter of the
arrest of the British inspectors Barnes
and Baker, in regard to which Lord Sal
isbury Informed the Venezuelan Govern
ment that If proper reparation should not
Britain would hold herself at liberty to
seek it by other means.
The measures taken will probably re-
semble those pushed in the Nicaraguan
affair and the British Admira in those
waters will doubtless receive instructions
to seize the Venezuelan ports and col
lect the customs duties.

KIRKLAND's DETACHMENT.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 90, 1895. The for
NAL order detaching Rear Admiral Kirk
land from the command of the European
Naval Station was signed by the Acting Sec
rotary of the Navy, Mr.. McAdoe, to-day.
1t was reported at the Navy Department
that Admiral Kirkland. since he became
aware that Secretary Herbert disapproved
of several of his actions, had applied for
detachment from his command, but Acting
Secretary McAdoo said he had no informa-
ton that would confirm this.
There is no doubt whatever that the re-
call of the Admiral was intended as a re-
buke. Before leaving for Atlanta last night
Secretary Herbert was asked if he would
make any misunderstanding the matter
and he answered that he would not. AID
miral Kirkland cannot be placed on the re-
tired list on account of age until 1899.
If he should remain in the service until
that time he would become the ranking Of
ficer of the Navy. 1t is believed. however.
hat he will make application to be placed
on the retired list on his return home, and
there is little doubt that the request, if
made, will be granted by the President.

health has been gradually failing, and
for the past three years he had had a
attendant almost continually at

time he has gone South with the inten-
ton of remaining a few months If 1T
should prove beneficial. but his stay
was short. His family has been at the
home mansion the greater portion of the
summer and his wife and sons and
daughters were with him when he
passed away.
Mr.. Ames leaves a widow, two sons
and our daughters. He was sixty-four
years of age.

FATHER FLAHBRTY's FRIENDS.

MOUNT MORRIS, y. z, Oct. %, 1886
A movement is On foot among the members
of the Father Fiaberty Association Of Mount
Morris whereby they expect to hold another
festival to aid the priest in carrying his case
to the General I eim.
Father Flaherty claims that Judge Morton
erred in instructing the jury upon several
points passed upon by by the last General
Term that considered his case. He also
claims that there was an adverse element in
the jury. One of the talesmen said he was
biased from the fact that Bishop McQuaid
had removed Father Flaherty from serving
in the church, and that he was also ac-
quainted with Mr.. Noonan. Upon further
examination, however, he thought he could
render a decision according to the testimony
and was accepted by the Judge.
