The present bids fair to be a good

prevailing feeling OF dissatisfaction and

OF discomfort and hall suppressed i'm
precautions against the power that is
depressing the laboring classes, is prima-
facie evidence that the working mans
condition is rapidly approaching the
point where desperation will take the
place OF voluntary restraint and force
the place Of solicitation and supplica-
ton. The last few years seem to have
been a formative period for labor organi-
zation. Their motto has been and still
is ''join or die" and the different organi-
cations are reaching that degree of per-
lection in union and s%ingleness of pur-
pose, that causes the money lord to
tremble in his castle, and a shiver Of

A BIG PROFIT.
Members of the Bond Syndicate
Divide Nearly 100000.
Result of the Recent Transaction with
the Government-No Further Reason
for the Organizations Exist
enco, 1t Dissolvcs.

New YORK, Sept. 23.-The profits of
the government bond syndicate were
distributed Saturday by checks issued
by Morgan and Belmont. The amounts
sent out represented an allowance of
"a per cent for interest on advances
made from February to June, being at
the rate Of per cent. a year and 40
per cent. for profits. The distribution
constituted final settlement with the
subscribers who underworld the bonds.
These Subscribers were bound to
furnish gold for the American sub
scription of S32, 500, 900, receiving bonds
therefor, and to furnish the syndicate
on demand an equal amount of gold in
exchange for greenbacks, These
pledges entitled them to a full share
in the profits of the undertaking. The
face value of the bonds was S62, 315, 900,
which was increased to about S65, ,OOO,-
600 by the syndicate's price to the gov
ernment of l04l5. 1t was arranged
that the principals in the government
contract-J. 2. Morgan Sc Co. and Au-
gust Belmont IL Co., of New York, and
j. 5. Morgan 81 Co., of London-should
receive q of l per cent. for placing
and managing the loan.
The syndicate offered the bonds to
the public at 1121l, an advance of ~
per cent on the purchase price, MAX
ing profit to the syndicate, on the
face value, of S4, 365, ,9S7. Deducting
the commission of ID of l per cent
allowed for management, S392, 362, left
S3973, ,625 for distribution. This was
to be divided equally between Europe
and the United States, making profit
to each of Sl,9s6, sl2.
News of the settlement attracted
much interest in the financial district.
The security market responded to it
with rushing advance in prices. 1t
was regarded by investors as a signal
that all possible danger to the treasury
reserve had passed and that reason can
no longer exist for continuing the for
mality of associated protection.
Messrs. Lazard Freres, when asked
what the prospects We're for gold ship
ments this week, replied: Unless
something unforeseen should inter-
veue, there will probably be no further
gold shipments for some time to come. "

raigned before Judge Finletter in the
court of oyer and terminer Monday on
the Indictment charging him with the
murder of Benjamin w. Pitzel in
this city, on September ?, 1894. Upon
the advice of his counsel, the prisoner
pleaded not guilty. District Attorney
Graham asked tsat Monday, October
IS, be fixed for the beginning of the
trial. Holmes counsel objected to this
date, but the judge, after hearing
argument on both sides, stated that
he thought October % would give
the defense sufficient time in which to
prepare its case. He then ordered that
The trial be set down for that day with
the understanding that when the time
arrived neither side could expect to
come into court and obtain continu-
ance on paltry excuses.

sunk by a Torpedo.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23. - An en-
tirely different explanation of the sink
ing of the Spanish cruiser Barcastegui
and the loss of forty-six lives in the
harbor of Havana last Wednesday night
is made by letters received in this
city by a distinguished member
of the Cuban revolutionary party. Ac-
cording to the news telegraphed from
Havana the catastrophe was due to a
collision between the cruiser and the
merchant steamer Mortera. 1t is now
stated as an absolute fact that the
Barcastegui was sunk by a floating tor
pedo launched by an adventurous party
OF Cubans.

he endured all the horrors of Libby
prison, having been captured in a dar-
ing raid into the enemy's country, and
escaped through the historical tunnel
in February, 1864. Returning to his
regiment he rendered most important
service in the Army of the Cumberland
in protecting the line of supplies be-
tween Stevenson and Decatur, on the
Memphis & Charleston railroad and
Tennessee river, during the advance on
Atlanta. At the battle of Nashville he
rendered valuable service as aide, and

zation of the department of Indiana
served as commander of George Ii.

department. He was assistant adju-
tant general of this department in
1887. In 1891, declining a fifth term,
he was chosen department commander.
During his four years as executive Off
Ger the membership of his department
was increased more than six thousand.
His work in the national encampment
and as chairman of the national pen
sion committee during the past IL rec
years has been of inestimable value to
the comradeship everywhere, and his
manly, dignified and patriotic stand
for the rights of his comrades has en-
deared his name to soldiers throughout
the union.

Evidence offered That Strangers Were in

DANvILLE, Ind, Sept 24.-The trial

with wife murder, was resumed Mon
day. Jacob McGowen testified that
upon the night of the tragedy
he was awakened at l2 o'clock
and heard two men walking
He further stated that the men were

seemed to be walking slowly. This is
the first direct evidence that there
were strangers in the vicinity upon the
night of the tragedy. On cross-exami-

the wounds, testified that there were
marks on defendants left arm made

been impossible for defendant to have
caused himself. There were similar
marks on the dead woman's arm

who held the post-mortem exami-
nation on the body of Mrs. Him
shaw, to show that it could not be
possible for one having such wounds
TO walk and talk. On cross-examina-
ton he said it would not be impossible
but hardly probable for her to have
walked or talked. The general opin-
ion is that the defense has failed to es-
tablish the claim that Mrs. Hinshaw
remained conscious for an hour after
she was wounded.

ON TO HAVANA.
Cuban Rebels Said to Be About
to Attack the Capital.
Hot Engagement in Which the Spanish
Forces Are Defeated with Loss OF
800 Men-Insurgents Elect
President.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Yhe Tribune's
Havana correspondent says in dis
patch sent from Havana September
10: Armed parties of revolution
lists are already in the prov
ince of Matanzas ard actually
within rs miles of the city of
Havana For long time this will be
denied and as news of other attacks
are received they will be either
suppressed or twisted into stories
of mere predatory bands of evil
doers, having no real connec-
tion with the revolution, until the
facts become impossible of further con-
cealment. The west end of the island
will soon be the scene of an uprising.
This seems improbable, but | have
it on the best authority. When
this fact develops the formidable
nature of the rerolution will become
apparent. With armed forces on both
sides of Havana it would require not
so, 900 but 500, 900 Span sh troops to keep
the revolutionists in check. Martinez
Campos is at once hiding the truth
of defeat and disaster and creating
belief in the immense power of his
troops. 1t is safe to say the rebels
have $4,000 men under arms at the
present time and their forces are
growing daily.
The salient fact is that around Santa
Clara as a center a large number of
well armed and well-managed revolu-
tionists are operating. They are sore
ly harassing the enemy, destroying
their basis of supplies and seriously
impeding all railroad and telegraph
communication.
OF greater importance is the reported
advance into the province of Matanzas
If, as it is said, they have quantities of
arms and munitions there concealed,
and if they are really advancing in
force, the crisis is not far Off
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-News of bat
tie, in which the Spanish were defeated
by the Cubans and lost 300 men, was
received Monday by President Palma.
1t came in letter written September
IA by Pedro Rovira, a Spanish private
who deserted to the Cuban ranks at
Pera Lego when Campos was defeated.
The Cubans had no cavalry, but made
effective use of dynamite bombs, which,
the letter says, struck terror to the
enemy.
In the engagement the Cubans' loss
was forty men wounded and killed.
The Spaniards lost over 800 men, forty
horses and large store of provisions
and munitions of war. The Cubans
are still capturing stragglers and pick
| ing up arms near Mountanin.
In later engagement Rovira WAS
captured by the Spanish, court-mar-
tailed and sentenced to receive 400
lashes and to be shot. The sentence
was carried out while Rovira was
shouting for Cuban liberty. The Span
iards were greatly incensed against
him, as he had killed three of their
men before being captured.
TAMPA, Fla, Sept 24.-Letters re-
ceived Monday by prominent Cuban
leaders here state that on Septemb ber
10 constitutional convention
was held at Najasa at which
Bartolome Masso was elected
