Protests Against Bardsley's Pardon.

HARRISBURG, Sept Ex-Governor Hast
ings yesterday received a strong protest
from William p. Drew, Of Lansdowne,
who for twenty years was national bank
examiner, and who lost his position by
reason of his neglect to notify the comp.
troller of the currency of the defalcation
of Gideon w. Marsh, president Of the
former Keystone bank, Of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Drew denies the allegation of the
pardon board in its reasons for recon.
mending Bardsley's pardon, to the effect
that he was to Il small degree IN uncon-
scious and innocent victim of an insolvent
bunk. Mr.. Drew declares that Bardsley
was the chief cause of the insolvency Of
the bank and that when he first placed
his hand on the bank 1t was entirely
sound. Instead of giving up all his
knowledge for the benefit Of the public,
says the former examiner, Bardsley has
refused to disclose facts which would lead
to the discovery Of more than 5000, 1000, and
to the exposure of his confederates. The
The governor today formally acknowl-
edged the receipt of the protest against
the pardon from the executive committee
of the Philadelphia municipal association.
He will probably grant the pardon on his
return from Canton next Friday.

HILL DOES NOT YIELD.
Gives No encouragement That He viii
bo Present at the Convention.


BUFFALO, Sept 15.-It seems probable
that the ticket to be named by the Demo-
cratic state convention when 1t assemblies
tomorrow will be: For governor, John
Boyd Thacher Of Albany for lieutenant
governor, Charles P. McClelland of West
chester; for Judge of the court of appeals,
Robert G, Titus of Buffalo
The platform will be brief II the wishes
OF those present are carried out. 1t will
indorse In few words the platform and
ticket adopted at Chicago will proclaim
that the people are downtrodden by the
accumulation of wealth with n few and will
denounce the Raines liquor tax law No
mention will be made of the national ad-
ministration unless the friends of Mr..
Cleveland can carry resolution In the
convention.
After a conference of the leaders Nor
man Il Mack telephoned to Wolfert's
BOOST, Albany, and urged Senator Hill to
come to tho convention. Senator Hill
thanked them for their kindness in giving
him special invitation, but said that he
could give them no encouragement. He
had not decided to attend the convention,
and at present he could give them no de.
cided answer as to his action. 1t was gen
orally agreed among the conferrees that
Senator Hill would not be present.
At Albany, last night, Senator Hill re-
fused to be interviewed on any subject,
but stated that he did not expect to go to
Buffalo and would not go there unless
some circumstances entirely unforeseen by
him at the present time should arise

Homo from the West.

John L. Thompson of Georgetown and
George S. Bryan and William II. Taylor
of Wilmington, representatives OF the
Improved Order of Red Men, returned
home from Minneapolis Mimi, Sunday
via. b. 81 o. Railroad. There was rep.
rescntation from 43 States in attendance
at tho Great Council.
Minneapolis was given over into the
hands of the Red Men and the Press of the
city announced to the world that never be-
fore In the city's history had such high
ly distinguished body Of men honored
them with their presence-Congressmen
and x-Congressmen, judges, lawyers,
doctors business men, artisans from all
walks Of life.
The most distinguished and bralny men
of America were among the representa-
tives of this great and distnctively Ameri-
can order. SO great was the impression
they created, that the citizens taxed the
local tribes to their utmost with their ap-
plcation to become members OF them, the
magnitude and grandeur of which had
never before dawned upon tncm.
The Red Men of Chicago (The White
City, had prepared and carried out even i'll
the extreme to our Eastern conception an
entertainment of the eastern delegates Tor
which it would be impossible to give them
the proper credit from our standpoint, as
it was done by the individual members of
the order and not in the name Of the Or
der, in accordance with the freedom Of our
Institution.
Tally Ho coaches conveyed us over the
city. A grand banquet without wine at
the Clifton House, whose proprietors are
Red Men. Through the beautiful Lincoln
Park. The Ferris wheel gave us a full
view of Chicago. A special train of Pull
man cars conveyed us to Minneapolis
and return to Chicago, manned by Red Men
except the porters A very large proper
ton Of the representatives wore accom-
panied by their wives and daughters.
Representative stephen Gould, Houston,
Texas, was accompanied by his mother, ~
years old. She was almost as active as u
young girl. Her son was Us attentive to
her as If she had been his sweetheart 1t
was beautiful sight to behold. l
would like to say more but time will not
permit me. Mrs. Taylor accompanied her
husband from our city and Immediately
upon her return remarked, wilmington
is as beautiful as any place have seen, If
not SO large After ALL tnore is no place
like home"

Frank p. Slnvin at the Eureka Club to.
night. The Baltimore heavyweight was
little better than punching bag for the
Australian, and it took him but two and
q quarter minutes to put the eX-chumpion
out.
Kilrain was very fat, and it was evident
when he appeared in the ring that he was
in no condition to meet Slavin, who look.
ed trained to the hour. kilruin's weight
was announced as 2l0 pounds, but he
looked at least fifteen pounds heavier
Slavin weighed 1914
The men got together without any pre-.
liminary sparring. kirain landed several
blows OH Slavin's face, while the Aus.
tralian played for kilrains heart and
stomach.
The exhibition was more of the give and
take order than scientific. But Slavin
knew kilrain's weak spots and after tN 0
and aquarter minutes of norccly. .exchang-
ed blows the Baltimore man went down
His head struck the floor with resound-
ing whack. He rolled over and attempted
to regain his feet, but bis hands were still
on the floor when Referee Mantz counted
him out

man, and says he feels just as certain Of
whipping Corbett as he did of disposing
of Peter Maher. The latter ho put out
with u punch, and he now says he will
stop Corbett in less than six rounds
So sure is he of winning tho battle that
he and Martin Julian, his manger, havo
decided to put up their own money for the
SO, 900 stake although" as Julian put it,
1--WE have not Il million to spare"
Fit2simmons carries considerable fat
just now and will probably train down to
about l65 pounds for the fight, He says
he never felt better and he looks strong and
rugged. FitZ brands the Corbctt- Sharkey
fight as fake and says his offer to Shark
ey Of $1,000 for each round he stays after
the second will hold good.
Julian says that Curbctt has not yet put
up his forfeit of S5DOO. As soon as he
docs the articles of agreement will be
signed 1t is Julians belief that Dan
stuart will get the fight, but he thinks 1t
will be brought Off at some nearer point
than Mexico The battle must be to
finish. No limited-round compromise will
be accepted.

q profitable one, resulted in no loss The
crowds were large, but the price of admls-
sion to entertainments in England Is So
small that it takes good many people to

no Change in the Political Situation at
COnstantinopie.

CoNsTANT1NoPLE, Sept. 15.-There Is lie
tie or no change in the political situation
here, and it is believed that the powers
will not take action Immediately in tho
case of Sultan Abdul Hamed, great deal
depending on the result of the czar's ap.
preaching visit to Balmoral.
According to the palace officials the
audience which Sir Phillip Currie, the
British ambassador, had with the sultan
on Friday last resulted In convincing his
majesty that the feeling against him in
Great Britain is much more intense than
he or his advisers have realized, and III
was intimated to him that Great Britain
in certain eventualities might be COM
PEELED to take action, independent Of other
powers in preventing further disturbances
here In spite of this assurance 1t Ia
noticeable that there is renewal Of
serious anxiety among the foreign portion
of the population that another outbreak
will occur at NO far distant date.
