A sensational story concerning Minister Manning’s experience at a banquet comes from the City of Mexico by special telegram to the Chicago Times: The American colony in this city is profoundly agitated and worked by an affair which touches American pride to a d gr o even surpassing the i-edgwick affair. This story in brief is to the effect that tho now Atmrican Minister, Hon. Thomas H. Manning, of Louisiana, has fallen a victim to the ickn less enemy of Mr Sedgwick. Tnursday cLemcon, Nov. IS, Mr. Manning attended a dinner given in his honor by M. L. Guirard, one of the leading members of tho American colony. Many of the most distinguished Mexican politicians and bankers were present at the banquet to meet the new Minister. At the conclusion of the banquet Judge Manning repaired to his rooms, and was not again seen on the street for nearly a week. He was reported by the Secretary of Legation and others as being ill and confined to his room. It is now stated, however, that the distinguished gentleman during four entire days following the banquet was in a frenz’ed state, and continued to indulge so freely that his secretary and the interpreter could not make him realize what he was doing.. The Secretary of legation called on an old member of the American colony, and together they finally succeeded by liberal use of meAoinea in bringing the Minister to realize hia situation. As soon hh Manning realized what hail transpir d, bi 3 secretary visited the news'aper offices and correspondents and tried tr induce them to say nothing about the mutter. Guirard, the person at whose table tho banquet occurred, is severely censured. He is tho same person who introduced Envoy Sedgwick to members of the famous Jockey Club. It is thought on all sides that the unfortunate event will, in all probability, lead to an early resignation of Minis! r Manning.

A Washington special to the Chicago Daily News says: Secretary Bayard is greatly distressed at the conduct of Minister Manning at Mexico aud cannot trust himself, to talk a .iout it. A mild form of d nial has been furnished from the Htat * Department, hut t ie story is believed, particularly by those who know tii j past record of tha Mmist r. Mr. Bayard lavs the blame on Senator Gibson and other Southern men, who gave the very highest testimonials to Manning’s anility and character, and says that such indorsements could not be rejectod, coming as they did from honorable men But Louisiana people here say that Manning’s habit of go ng on a spree semi-occasionally is no secret in that Slate, and must have been known to the Scmatora who recommended him. There is no question t lat he is one of the ablest men in Louisiana, stands high at the bar, and is a member of tho most aristocratic son a] circle, but hns had this unfortunate habit all his life. If Manning is not recall-d at oneo or does not resign, the Senate will undoubtedly reject him. St. John, the Prohibitionist candidate for President, seouls to be the only available man to succeed Manning, and he may not be able to stand the intoxicating influences of tho Mexican climate. In an address at Montreal Michael Davitt highly complimented Mr. Powderly, saying that while he was at the head of the Knights of Labor ho would keep that organization “clear from doctrines antagonistic to just government or the rights of the people.” The total number of failures in the United States reported to DrachtrecVs last week was 334, against 227 the previous week, 225 last’year, 1237 in 1884, aud 232 in 1888. The total failures in the country this year to date are 0,162, against 10,006 last year, a decline of 844, against 0,763 in 1884, 6,806 in 1883, and 6,437 in 1882. Henry M. Stanley, who has arrived in New York, says the upper Congo can be placed in direct communication with all countries by tho construction of tho railway alongside the cataracts as proposed by a Belgian syndicate.

The excitement here is intense. The streets are guarded by police and cavalry. A private me ting of the Nationalist chiefs was held at the town hall Sunday, at which their future course of action was discussed. Commoner Tanner commenced a speech in a field near town, when a body of police ajipeared and dispersed tho meeting with bayonets. Messrs. O’Brien and O’Kelley, members of Parliament. went to liiverstown, where Mr. O’Brien made a speech denouncing the Government and dtcl iring that the Irish would bo able to overcome tho unworthy schemes for repressing opinion. The police threatened to arrest him, but, though ho defied them, he was not molest d. Mr. O’Brien then went to Ballygote, where a pr’ost advised him not to talk. He persisted, however, and the meeting was dispersed by the police, A meeting at Tally, County Mayo, was addressod by .John Deasey. He said that if Billon and O'Brien wero imprisoned the Irish people would not be witho it fri nds. Tho landlords were entitled to only five years’ purchase. Mr. Thomas Mavne, member for Tipperary, defended boycotting. A Government reporter, guarded by constables, was present, and noted tho proceedings of the meeting. Commoners Maurice Hoaly, Hooper, Lane, Fox, and Shea spoke at a meeting at Ivilleagh. Thev all declared that the Government could not terrify them, but theii speeches were generally moderate and guarded. Russia has stepped somewhat back from her aggressive position, and will endeavor to absorb Bulgaria in some other way. Ail the European nations are now enlarging their armies in the belief that war will cercertain.y come in the - sprang. In Germany the feeling s eema to be that war is near at hand.

The young lady’s brothers were violently opposed to the union, and were never reconciled to the match. Last Sunday afternoon Brevard Moore, the youngest brother of Baldwin’s wife, went to the latter’s home, and at once began using every effort to induce his sister to leave Baldwin. She refused to even consider such a step, at which her brother became enraged and began abusing her. Baldwin at this juncture ordered Moore to cease his tfbuse or leave the house, whereupon Moore drew a revolver and fired at Baldwin twice. Both shots took effect, inflicting dangerous wounds, but Baldwin braced himself, and, drawing a pistol, began firing at Moore. While the men were shooting at each other Mrs. Baldwin rushed between them, hoping she would put an end to the fusillade. Before they could cease firing, Mrs. Baldwin fell to the floor with threo bullots in her breast. She has sinco died of her injuries. It is not known whether her husband or brother killed her. Moore was finally shot dead by Baldwin, and tbe latter has died of his wounds. The visible supply of wheat and corn is respectively 59,512,078 and 11,123,026 bushels.

The Old-Fashioned Girl.

Much praise is bestowed upon the old-fashioned girl. Her admirers are never tired of telling how she got up at 3 o’clock in the morning, milked seven cows, and got breakfast for half-a-dozen hired men before she sat down to her own, did a big day’s work at the spinning-wheel or loom, with no recess except the ones she took to help get in a load of grain before a sudden shower, or to drive the cows out of the potato patch; spun and wove as well as made her own dresses, and thought she was doing well if she got seventy-five cents a week and her board for doing all this in any home beside her own, where she did it for board and clothes and the fun of the thing. No one would deny to any of these young ladies, many of whom are young ladies yet, if a brisk step, a sparkling eye, and the ability to do a big day’s work are qualifications, the full amount of credit due them, but why should their virtues be so often sung as an implied reproach upon their grand-daugh-ters? If the last-named do not work sixteen hours a day, they can at least earn more in one day than their grandmothers could in a week. Does any one suppose that the girl of fifteen years ago would be satisfied with homespun dress if all sorts of pretty materials had been as plenty and as cheap as they are now ? Why don’t we hear more about the girls of to-day, who are teaching school week days, playing the organ Sunday, giving lessons after supper, learning to paint on embroidery Saturday afternoons, doing lots of fancy work, trimming their own hats, reading all new books, and finding time for lawn-ten-nis and croquet in the bargain ?—Lewiston Journal.

THE REDS RESPITED.

—A— The Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court Orders a Supersedeas. The Executions Cannot Take Place Before March—How the Anarchists Received the News. (Bloomington (HI.) special.] Chief Justice Scott, of the Supremo Court, granted a supersedeas in the anarchists’ case on Thursday. He reachedhis room in th 9 court house from his residence between 8 and 9 o’clock. An hour later he sent for Captain Black, Mr. Solomon, and Mr. Swett and announced to them his decision. He then wrote out the following order and appended it to the huge records: After inspecting the foregoing transcript of the record, the undersigned, one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the State, is of the opinion that there is reasonable ground for granting the writ of error applied for in thecause. It is therefore ordered that a writ of error be granti d in this cause, and it is further ordered that the writ of error herein ordered tobe issued be a supersedeas as to each and every one of the plaintiff sin error, viz.: August fp.es, Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielden, Albert It. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Engol, Louis Lingg and Oscar W. Neebe, and shall have the effect as provided in section J, division 15, criminal code, Revised Statutes 1874, page 414, to stay the execution of the judgment pronounced by the Criminal Court of Cook County against each of aforesaid plaintiffs in error until the further order of the Supreme Court in this cause. It is further ordered that tho Clerk of the Supreme Court in the Northern Division, upon the filing of this transcript of the record in his office, shall immediately issue the writ of error as a supersedeas as herein ordered, in accordance with tho provision of the section of the statute above cited. Done at Bloomington this 2>tli day of November, A. D. 1816. John M. Scott, Chief Justice of the Supremo Court. [Ottawa (Ill.) dispatch. ] The writ of supersedeas which was issued was in form as follows: I do hereby certify that a writ of error has issued from this court for the reversal of a judgment obtained by the people of the State of Illinois against Aug-ust Spies, Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielden, Albert R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Engel, Louis Lingg, and ( g ar W. Neebe, in the Criminal Court of Cook County, at the October term thereof, A. D. li-B.i, in a certain action of indictment for murder, which writ of error is made a supersedeas and is to operate as a suspension of the execution of the judgment therein, and as such is to be obeyed by all concerned. Given under my hand and the seal of the Supreme Court at Ottawa this 26th day of November, A. D. 1886. A. H. Taylor, Clerk of the Supreme Court. [Chicago special.] The convicted anarchists will not be hanged on the 3d proximo. Judge Scott, of the Supreme bench, has granted a writ of supersedeas,which operates as a stay of execution pending the healing of the appeal by tbe full bench. This hearing will take place at the spring term of tho court, to be held at Ottawa, and the final decision will hardly be rendered before April or May. The granting of the supersedeas was almost a foregone conclusion. It is in conformity with the almost invariable practice of the Supreme Judges in capital cases, when u delay of execution is necessary to allow the court time for hearing an appeal.

How the Condemned Men Received the News. [From tho Chicago Tribune.] The anarchists were all pleased with the news,and if they eventually escape all punisl ment it is safe to say they won’t again play with edged tools. Whe-n seen by a reporter Parsons was seated in his cell. He had his feet against the grated door and his chair tilted back at an angle of forty-five degrees. Asked what he thought of the granting of the supersedeas, he said it struck him very favorably, and he was glad to hear it. He didn't know to what extent the influences brought to bear in the trial before Judge Gary would affect the decision of Supreme Court Justices on a motion for a supersedeas, but he was pleased to see that they had cut no figure. He thought the decision of Judge Scott in granting the writ was in itself an evidence that the conviction of himself and the others was a violation of the law. “If you get out of this scrape do you think you will talk and write in the future as you did in the past?” he was asked. “I can’t say whether I would write the same things and preach the same doctrines. For my part, I am willing to say the rascalities, outra es, and robberies to which the working classes have been subjected sometimes get the better of a man who feels for them, and leads him to say things he wouldn’t say when in his calmer moments. It’s a good deal like politics, where the leader of one party abuses the leader of the other, but after the campaign is over everything settles down to quiet again.” Fischer was not much surprised to hear the news, as he thought all along that the writ would bo granted. •He believed, however, that if Judge Scott was of similar material to Judge Gary there would have been no hope at all. Fielden was not disappointed over the news, as it was just about what he expected. He was uncertain what business he would engage in if he Anally got clear of his present troubles, and was unable (o say what influences might be brought to bear upon him to change the opinions he had so freely uttered in the past. Schwab couldn’t say he was much surprised at the news, for his attorneys had assured him that everything was favorable to the granting of the writ. He thought similar disturbances to those of last May would occur again, but intimated that he wouldn’t be mixed up in them. “We Germans,” he said, “are more radical and outspoken in our views than Americans, because we have seen the same state of affairs produce the same results in the old country, and, in raising our voices against the further oppression of the working people, only tried to avert the disasters that have overtaken them elsewhere.” Spies was expecting the supersedeas, but would not have been surprised had it been refused, after what he had seen at the trial. He said he was not ashamed of anything he had written in the past, although admitting he might have said some unreasonable things. Concluding, he said; “My course in the past may not have been wise, but I never willingly harmed anybody in my life. If the verdict is sustained, henceforth any man can be arrested and dragged to prison, tried, convicted, and punished for any unlawful act committed by persons known or unknown.” Neebe believed all the time that the supersedeas would be granted, and never felt alarmed over its being r»#^ped.
