CUSTER,S LAST FIGHT.
Captain Bowen's Lecture at the Hyperion

Captain Bowen's Lecture at the Hyperion
 Causes of the Great Disaster.
 Captain Bowen's lecture on Custer at the Hyperion last evening was high ly interesting. The proceeds of the lec- ture go to the Mothers Aid society of this city.
 The lecture was illustrated with views
 taken from the scene of the battle and
 also of Indian and army life on the western plains.
 The view of the Custer campaign ex
 pressed by Captain Bowen was rather different from that usually entertained
 by most people.
 According to Captain Bowen the cam paign was made by Custer in direct
 disobedience to express orders and in the. front of an enemy who knew of his presence he was very incautious in his movements.
 He had been ordered by General Ter ry to advance at the same time as Gen eral Gibbon. The two forces were to unite and had Custer executed his part of the movement the Indians would probably have been defeated. As Gus ter marched out General Gibbon said to him: Now, Custer, don't be greedy but wait till we can cooperate with you" and Custer replied: q can't do it."
 He marched his troops to the place where the two forces were to unite thir- ty-six hours ahead of time and before
 General Gibbon could possibly co-op-
 crate with him.
 | He was greedy to win all the glory of
 the campaign for himself before the other commanders could come up. In addition to this, though, in the pres ence of the enemy, he scattered his troops so that they were not in support ing distance of each other, his force of
 600 men being separated while on the
 march nine miles from front to rear
 and four miles from right to left, As a result the brave Clusters force was utterly destroyed on Sunday, the 25th of June 1876. Two Crow scouts 1 alone survived and these probably left the force before the battle. The only living creature which escaped of the detachment was a troopers horse nam ed Comanche, which now takes part in the regimental parades. The bodies of the slain were all stripped and mutil-
 ate save that of General Custer. His
 body was spared. through the interces- sion of Chief Rain-in- the Face, who, it is said, took the dead soldiers hand saying My dear friend" Sitting Bull
 said while in British America: ''They say I kileld Custer. It is a lie. It isn't so. Custer was a fool and made the fight himself"

The Market Was Weak and Feverish. New York, June 1S.-The stock mark
 ct to-day was feverish and in the main
 weak. London sold fairly large amounts
 of St Paul, Louisville and Nashville, Atchison and other issues, probably fif- teen thousand shares in all, and this started the downward movement The attitude of the foreigners was a disap- pointment and was attributed to the reports of an unfavorable turn in Ven-
 ezuelan matters and to a misunder- standing of certain blanks in the repub-
 lican platform touching on foreign af- fairs.

HELD AN OPEN SESSION.
Sale of Government Bonds to be Investi-
 gated,


 New York, June 1S-The five members of the special United States senate com mittee appointed to investigate the re- cent sales of government bonds held an open session in parlor S09 in the Hofr- man house this morning. The commit tee, which is composed of Senators Harris, Vest, Platt, WalthaL and Jones of Nevada, arrived in the city yesterday evening. It was thought that MT. J. Pierpont Morgan would be the first witness to-day, but he asked to be excused He will probably appear tomorrow morning. The investigation was opened about 11I0. MT. August Belmont said that he did not see Presl- dent Cleveland in Washington when he went there regarding the bond sale of January 25, 1895. He saw the secre- tary of the treasury and talked the mat ter over with him, He said that he made no suggestion to the secretary, but only stated his views. He simply inquired if there was anything he could do to allay the feeling on the other side. He told Secretary Carlisle that he thought the financial condition of af- fairs was serious and that the only way of relieving it was to make bond sale. He declared that he only contributed his own views. Senator Vest said that he was trying to find out if he did not go to Washington with the re-conceiv- ed idea of impressing upon Secretary Carlisle the necessity of selling bonds. MT. Belmont would not admit this. MT. Belmont said the secretary asked him to inquire regarding the financial situ- ation in Europe, and he (Carlisle) would be glad to know the result He saw no members of the cabinet on that visit and nothing was said regarding the amount of bonds to be sold He admitted that another time he saw La mont, but said that it was not upon that business.

the collection are also several different
editions Of Norwegian musical folk
lore. When it is considered that. per-
haps, not 10 of these different com
positions have before been obtainable
in Minneapolis, it will easily be under
stood that lovers of music will at the
music store of the fair find a great
deal to interest them, more especially
as the musical works are marked away
down and sold at a reasonable figure.
Among other attractions at the fair
may be mentioned what is called 4

q merry go-round, representing in

OVERLOOK THEE
DIFFERENCES.
TRACY'S TRENCHAhT TALK
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Presides at
a Big Mass Meeting in Gotham
and Takes Occasion to Reef Bryan
Fore and Aft-Country's Grave
Crisis.

->e" lO.h, sept. Z9.-The republic
an mass meeting in Carnegie hall last
night was a great success. The gath
ering in the immense hall was a repre-
sentative and notable one. On the
platform which was tastefully decOraL
ed sat elbow to elbow republicans who
for several years have been at logger
heads on local issues. They apparent
ly forgot their past differences to make
the rally for the gubernatorial candi-
date success. Besides Frank S.
Black, candidate for governor, and
Timothy l. Woodruff candidate for
lieutenant governor, there were Gar
ret A. Hobart, vice presidential can
didate, Chairman Hanna, Thomas c.
Platt, ex-senator Gibbs, Congressman
Odii and fully a hundred well-knoWn
city and state republicans present.
General Tracy, ex-secretary of the
navy, presided and opened the meeting
with a rousing speech. In the course
of his address he said: You ask my
opinion as to which of these three
planks in the Chicago platform is the
worst and | answer unhesitatingly
that it is the plank which pledges that
the federal laws, when resisted by
domestic violence, shall not
be enforced without the
consent of the governor of the state.
For the first time IN history this
country has a candidate for the pres
idency who declares that if the federal
laws are resisted Ivy riot and blood
shed in any state, he will not, with
out tine consent Of the governor, in
terfere. No one can be president of
this country without first Administered
ing the oath that he will support the
the duties which it imposes upon him.
The pledge made by the candidate for
the presidency in advance of his cleo
ton not to enforce the laws of con-
gress without the consent of the gov
ernOr of state, pledges that he will
violate his office. If he does 50 VIC
late his oath congress is helpless and
the people helpless. The destruction
that can be wrought by nerveless
and faithless preSiuent we already
know. A graver crisis never con-
fronted the country than the crisis
which confronts It now. In 1861 we
met the crisis successfully with the
sword; in 1896, under the leadership
of Mckinley and Hobart we will meet
it successfully with the ballot F."

New York, Sept. 29.-William C.
Whitney, formerly secretary of the
navy, will be married at noon today to
Mrs. Edith S. Randolph, widow of the
late Captain Arthur Randolph, of East
Court, Wiltshire, England. This fact
was formally announced last night by
Mr.. Whitney's private secretary. So
ciety has been specializing on the event
for some time, but not even the clos
est friend of Mr.. Whitney had antici-
pated that the event would be SO soon.
There are several features which tend
to cast halo If romance over
the courtship, sudden engagement
and hasty marriage. Mrs. Randolph
is an old friend Of he Whitney family
and has been intimately associated
with them the past ten years. Mr..
Whitney's son, Harry Payne Whitney,
with his bride is now on his honey
moon. His daughter, Mrs. A. B.
Paget, is with her husband spending
the summer in he Anirondacks. The
suggestion that there is any estrange-
men in the family on account of the
wedding is positively denied as all the
members have been ON the best of
terms with the prospective bride.

A CONFLICT ANTICIPATED.
Decisive Battle With Dervishes Elk
pected Near Dongola.

Miowarat, Near Dongola, Via Kerma
on-the-Nile, Sept. 2S.-It would ap-
pear from the ports of scouts who
have been following the trail of the der
wish force which retreated from Elpa
fir, that an important and decisive bat
tie for this stage of the campaign will
be fought today. The Anglo-Egyptian
expedition is now encamped here
awaiting early dawn in order to move
upon the positions occupied by the
enemy. Miowarat is situated five
miles from Dongola, and, unless the
unexpected happens, the strength
of the dervishes in the Dongola
district will be thoroughly
cverthrown. The report that Dongola
is reoccupied by the dervishes is incor-
rect. A gunboat yesterday returned to
Dongola and bombarded the forts and
earthworks until they were rendered
useless. II the dervishes should have
reoccupied the place they will i1d

Sensational Kenosha Murder Case Is
Decided.

of murder in the first degree was re
turned by the jury in the Hilgendorf
case. The murder occurred July 4 Of
the present year. When the sons re-
turned from town late in the after
noon, their father met them and told
them TO look III the milk house and see
their mother whom they found lying in
a pool of blood. She had been hacked
with some weapon, evidently a corn
knife which lay near covered with
blood. Hilgendorf was arrested. H
tried to prove that he found the wo-
man dead when he came from town
shortly before his sons and also tried
to get up a theory of suicide, which was
impossible, however as physicians said
that the position of the body preclud
ed all idea of self-murder.
