HOT WORDS ARE PASSED

ALTON CONVENTION.
Officers Accuse Each Other of Irrcgu-
Inritics ana Force Secret Ses-
sion-Other Conventions.

TOLEDO, o.. Sept. 7.-To-day's session of
the national letter carriers convention was
rather stormy. President Parsons delivered
a sensational speech at the morning session
in which he called some of the delegates
from Buffalo and Cleveland and National
Secretary Victory various hard names.
Charges and counter charges were flung
across the hall and it was an hour before
order was restored. Secretary Victory final
ly secured recognition and assailed Presi-
dent Parsons in an unmerciful manner An
executive session followed the convention,
celebrating behind closed doors the re-
mainder of the day. The cause of President
Parsons's fiery speech was the rumors be-
ing circulated concerning the appropriation
of $1,000 by the legislative committee
This sum, it is claimed by Parsons s
friends, was borrowed from Branch No. SO,
New York, and was recently paid back.
The opposition. which is led by Secretary
Victory, claims the money was appropriated
to pay the per capita of Branch sc and they
demand an accounting. At the executive
session the trouble was again renewed and
the session was spent wrangling over points
of order. Both sides agreed finally to an
investigating committee and the convention
attempted the selection of five delegates to
look into the finances of the association, but
the session ended without completing the
list
Tonight the delegates were rendered an
excursion to Turtle island, Lake Erie.

BERLIN, Sept. IA painful scandal has
arisen in one of the regiments of the
Dragon Guards where the officers have
been playing baccarat for high stakes of
late Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg lost
$1,000 (s150o0) and Lieutenant Goetz his en-
tire fortune at one sitting. A quarrel arose
between the latter and another officer, which
led to a challenge. The colonel Of the regi-
ment reported the matter to the Emperor.
Ans cred by the disregard of his prohibition
of gambling, Emperor William summoned
Prince Albert to his presence and ordered
him to take leave of absence until Sept. 80
The other two officers were cashiered. A
good deal of comment has been caused by
the fact that Lieutenant Won Bruswitz, who
was sentenced to three years and twenty
days imprisonment for dueling affair,
shortly after he had achieved notoriety Tor
running laboring man through with his
sword for accidentally knocking against the
heutenants chair in q cafe, has been lber-
