foreign nod colonial affairs; is personally acquainted with the leading statesmen of Europe, and his alliance with the house of Rothschild will give him invaluable knowledge of the financial condition of the European powers. lie is a very faint Home ruler, bnt a very strong champion of the greatness and ascendency of England. The disappearance of Sir Charles Dilke leaves him. to the Liberals, the only possible candidate for Foreign Secretary, and during a European war the Foreign Secretary, not the specialist in Irish affairs, would be the effectual Prime Minister of Great Britain. SUPPRESSING Till! LEAGUE.

How Secretary ISalfour Will Itesin Present Temper of the Irish People. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London', Oct. 13. Sir. Balfour has finally obtained the consent of the Cabinet to totally suppress the National League in Dublin, and, if he should see fit, to extend his prohibitory operations to the whole of Ireland. The Cabinet will not meet formally until October 28,several of the members having declined to curtail their vacations for the purpose of holding a council earlier, and signified their desire to give Mr. Balfour . a free hand in his conduct of Irish affairs without a specific decision on certain points by a Cabinet conclave. Although Mr. Balfour is thus invested with absolutism in the matter, he will scarcely venture additional measures of repression at once. He, himself, admits to personal friends that reform in the personnel of the Irish administration is absolutely necessary before the coercion act can be effectively enforced, and the result of bis conviction will be a thorough cleaning out of the present incumbents of the Dublin Castle sineenres. In the few cases where these officials are not conspicuously incompetent, they are the nominees of Castle favorites, or are themselves such, and a majority of them are active sympathizers with the Nationalist cause, suspected and justly, too, of thwarting, misdirecting and betraying the government's measures against the league. Colonel Iiidgeway, who has begun wotk in the under secretary's office in place of General Duller, practically concurs with Mr. Balfour as to the necessity for a change, and has already intimated that successful administration of the laws in Ireland requires an immediate clean sweep of the executive departments of all imbeciles and suspects; but In view of the fact that he has not himself been sufficiently long in office to acouire an accurate idea of the necessary work, he asks to be allowed time to look about htm and select the victims to be sacrificed. In view of Ibis, the league lenders have little reason to expect any new developments of suppression for some time to come, and are content to rest in possession of the field of battle, confident tbat each succeeding week will weaken the "powers of the government tu carry out the obnoxious laws. At the present moment the act is practically dead. Several minor convictions of offenders against one clause or another have ben obtained in remote districts where the resident magistrates are less amenable to the action of the league and the force of publie opinion, but throughout the length and breadth of the eonntry the league meet openly or secretly, and their proceedings and expanding influence ripen into activity under the revengeful fueling engendered by threatened prosecution and imprisonment. At no time in the life of the National League have the people been so fired with national sentiment as now. A striking instance of this allpenetrating eothusiasm occurred yesterday at Taghmon, County Wexford. Twenty persons were arraigned in court aud prosecuted under the crimes act for having attempted to intimidate a land-grabber. Sixteen of the prisoners were discharged for want of evidence, bnt the other four, all of whom were children, were convicted. Among them was a girl named Lawler, and the resident magistrate, in pronouncing sentence of imprisonment npon her, suggested tbat she might escape being locked up by expressing regret for her conduct and finding bail in a nominal sum. Instead of expressing contrition, as the magistrate manifestly expected she would, the girl promptly replied: "It is no disgrace to be imprisoned for Ireland. I do not regret what I have done and I will not give bail." ATOUIt KUAN. English Officials Unable to Farntsh Trustworthy News Concerning Tlim. Special to the Indianapolis Journal London. Oct 15. It is admitted at the Foreign and India offices that there is no trustworthy intelligence regarding Ayoub Khan. At present anything may happen in Afghanistan, owing to the Ameer's weakness, the intense hostilities of some tribes and the manoeuvres of Ayoub. In Teheran, it is said, there is a theory that Ayoub's Persian attendants were negligent as to his custody on account of inducements from the Russian embassy, but of this there is believed to be no proof. The Shah has sever ceased to regret tbat the convention prepared by Lord Beaconsfield's government, by which he himself would have taken possession of Herat, was never carried out. His Majesty believes that he would have been permitted to hold the place, but if not, he would have bad a valuable consideration in band with which to meet Russian demands. What the detention of Ayoub Khan at Teheran has cost the Indian treasury will never exactly be made known. Perhaps, in some future session of Parliament, some of those who complain so bitterly of charges upon the Indian exchequer will give a thought to the payment, by India, of so large a part of the cost of the Persian and Chinese missions, and of the entire charge of the consulates upon the great rivers of Turkey in Asia, where British commerce is, perhaps for that reason, much neglected. THE CZAR'S NEW ALLY. Something About a New and Powerfnl Foe of English Rule. A dispatch from Calcutta, Monday, Oct, 10. announced that Dhuleep Singh has published a letter in the ludiun papers denouncing England, threatening rebellion, and pledging himself to serve a:,d support the Czar of Russia in his fight against British rule in India. Who is Dhnleep Singhl What importance is there in bis letter? The dispatch did not tell, yes a brief ketch of bis life will show what a powerful foe England has to cope with in Dhuleep Sing. One day last spring a man wbo called himself "Patrick Casey," was robbed at the railway station in Berlin, Germany, of his money, papers and railroad ticket He was on the way from England to Russia, and, having found himself suddenly in a strange city without money or friends, be applied to the Russian embassy in Berlin for help. Editor Katkoff, of the Moscow Gazette, was at once communicated with, and with bis assistance ' Patrick Casey" was provided with all necessary means and transported to the old Russian capital with princely honors. Subsequently the supposed Irish agitator turned out to be the Indian prince or maharajab, Dhuleep Singh, a pretender to the Indian throne, who awaits a favorable opportunity to proceed, with the aid of Russia, across the Caspian sea and middle Asia to Ilindoostan. where bis ancestors once were powerful rulers. The story of Dhuleep Singh's life is very romantic. His father, ItunjitSingh. ''Victorious Lion" was ruler and maharajab of Lahore at the beeinning of this century. He was chief of the Sikbs, a powerful religions sect, and claimed to be a descendant of Nanak. its founder. When he died in 1839. bis son, Dhuleep Singh, was only a few months old. After a series of bloody contests and frightful executions his widow, Dhuleep's mother, maintained the throne of her husband and reigned, with the aid of ber favorite, Lall Singh, up to the time Lahore was conquered by British arms. Therealter the Queen of Lahore and her son, Dhuleep Singh, lived in England, where be received a thorough English edncation. After the-death of bis mother, in 18G3, Dhuleep Singh threw off hi native religion and joined the Church of England. The government allowed him a pension of $200,000 a year, and in a short time be became a lion in English society. He eloped with an English ladV to Alexandria, Egypt, married her there at the British consulate, and on nis return to England began to live after a royal fashion in Elvedon Hall, Tnetford. For years his name figured prominently in all reports of English social festivities, and the fact that bis salary equaled that of the Prince of Wales gained him especial prominence in the yea of the Englisb people. But, notwithstanding bis annuity of $200,000, Dhuleep Singh, in the long run became financialtnbarrassed. In order to satisfy his creditors be tried to get bis pension increased, but, bis UTorts were futile. Finally he instituted legal proceedings against the English government, from which he claimed .$10,000,000. but bis case was lost in the English courts. Dhuleep Singh tbn began to think tf returning to India. A year ago be was captured by the English authorities at Aden on bis way to his native country and brought back to England. Then he fled to Russia, wnere be is now treated like a prospective governor-general of India. Dhuleep Singh has a great influence over the fiikhs, to whose religion he has recently returned.

and the Russian official papers assert that he counts his followers in northern Ilindoostan by thousands. The English government seems fully aware of the fact tbat Dhuleep Singh is one of its most dangerous foes, and the English press has devoted columns to the rebellious Indian prince. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

No Reliable Foundation for the Rumor that President Grevy Intends to Resign. ffpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Oct 13. There is scarcely any one in London who can give official information of the highest order upon any matter whatsoever, but it is believed tbat there is no foundation for the report that M. Grevy intends to resign the office of President of the French Republic. The Caffarel affair will not induce him to resign. M. Grevy, it is said, must purely desire to witness the centenary of the revolutionary period and to leave to France the very valuable memory of one who has served his allotted time in the highest office of the state, the more so because, throughout the century, his would be the only name among the Emperors, Kings and Presidents of France which can be adorned with that measure of completeness. Condition of the German Crown Prince. rcopyrirht, 1SS7, by the New York Associated Press.! Berlin, Oct 15. The latest official report con cerning the Crown Prince, who is at Baveno. is to the effect tbat his voice is clearer and tbat he has per ceptibly improved. Since bis stay there, the congestion of his throat has become very slight Dr. Schrader, a German specialist who is attending the Crown Triiyse, went to Baden-Baden on Thursday to make a report to Emperor William. He states that the recent alarming reports greatly exaggerated the condition of the 1 rince. 1 Us voice is not restored, but is Taller and his utterance is easier siren he left Toblach. No dangerous developments are anticipated. He is taking better cat e of himself; he does not go out in bad weather, but remains in his rooms, which have a southern exposure. The whole villa is heated by warm air. These assurances do not calm the general uneasiness, however. Nothing suffices except the regular official bulletins. The precautions announced as having been taken increase the distrust, it being held that they show that the Prince is sensitive to the slightest change in temperature. Rad Feeline Between Russia and Germany. r Copyright, 18S7. by the Sew York Associated Press. Bnat,iN, Oct 15. The relations between Germany and Russia are becoming more embittered. No mask is now worn on either side. The press of St. Petersburg and Moscow is now permitted to indulge in its natural disposition to abuse the Germans, and the inspired press here is not backward in responding in kind. An article iu the Kreuz Zeitung candidly warns Russians that the Germans may favor a restoration of the ancient kingdom of Poland, consisting of the present provinces" of Russian Poland, and extending to the Black sea. thus forming a bulwark between the aggressive czardom and the rest of Europe. The Kreuz Zeitung contends that Prussian Poland will soon he Germanized, while Russia has failed to Russianize her provinces. The Poles, the Zeitung says, ought to look to see the regeneration of their country in Russia, relying on the support of Germany. Diplomatic intercourse between the two governments is limited to unavoidable communications. Mrs. Hnghes-IIallett and Her Husband. London, Oct. 15. Mrs. Hughes-Hallelt's solicitor denies absolutely the statements of American papers to the effect that Colonel Hughes-Hallett has been using her investments, aud states for publication that the lady's entire fortune was settled upon herself, prior to her marria e, at her intended hrsband's own request, thereby stopping him from using it, even if he so desired. Surprising Election at Qoeenttown. Qtjeenstown. Oct 15. An election for municipal officers was held here to-day.

Included in the troupe are Adolph Nieman, Lillie Lehman, and Marianne Brandt.

General Ferron. French Minister of War, states that the inquiry in the matter of the sale of civie deeorations is nearly completed, and that no officer of the army nor employe of the War Department has been found involved in the affair, excepting General Caffarel and General D'Audlay. The Duke of Saie-Cobourg-Gotha's memoirs, entitled, "My Life and Time," are now ready; The first volume covers the period from 1818 to1850. The concluding volnmes cover the time until 18S0. The work gives frank revelations of the Duke's political and social experiences before and after succeeding to the throne. TIIE FIRE RECORD.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Cleveland. O., Oct 13. The Cleveland and Indianapolis clubs played a very loose and wobbly game of ball at Association Park this afternoon, and Cleveland finally got a run to the good of Indianapolis and stayed there. The weather was cold and everybody was glad when the nine innings were finished. Marnson and Zimmer and Healy and Arundel were the batterier, and both pitchers were hit equally hard. Arundel outdid Zimmer in errors, and bis bad throwing, with the poor work of Myers, lost the game for the visitors. Score: CLEVELAND. INDIANAPOLIS. lBPO A E RlBPO A E. Strieker, 2...

The score in the series for the World's championship now stands: Detroit, 4; St. Louis, 2. In the record the two shut-outs of the Association champions should add to the prestige of the League champions. The game at the Polo grounds to-day was played under circumstances to impel the players to do their best work. The spectators, who came out to seo a good game, without friend or favor, numbered ten thousand. They were not disappointed. They expected to see the St Louis men make a closer fight ttian they did, but as they witnessed the splendid fielding exhibition of the Straits City club and the wonderful pitching of Getzein, they could only admit that the victors were invincible, tnis day, and St. Louis must watt till some other day. To Getzein belongs the principal credit of the victory. His deliverv "was too much for the ordinarily clever batters in the opposing team. When it is considered that of the whole nine from St. Louis only two men made clean hits, and those in the last inning, it will be seen that Gstzein was out as apitcher, and got there. On the other hand, Foutz was hit frequently and hard, and while the Detroits earned six of their nine runs, the support he received at certain periods was discouraging. Kven Bushong, the reliable, was away off ia his throwing to bases, and Gleason and Robinson, though the latter did generally good work, made mistakes that saddened the crowd as well as Fonts. Fnnnv Latham was funnier than usual. He made several remarks that caused the crowd to laugh, aud once when he urged Bushong to "throw the ball to second with smoke on it," even Foutz had to smile.

An Ex-Treasurer's Shortage. Special to the Indianapolis JournalBloomington, Ind., Oct 15. Word has just been received here of the shortage of the late Democratic treasurer of Washington county, brought about by a plain violation of the statute of the State that has - 1

evidently been going on for several years past It is the old custom of loaning money for private speculation. At the last election, however, the Democratic candidate failed to be elected, and W. S. Persises. a Republican, was successful. When the time came to turn over the books and the cash there was some delay, but finally a settlement was had. when it was made public for the first time that instead of 1G.OOO cash on hands there was that amount in notes, some of them several years old, and others that are worthJess. By every effort and threats of suit the retiring treasurer has thus far been able to raise only $4,000 of the total amount, leaving a shortage of about $12,000. Mr. btraker, the retiring treasurer, is abundantly able to settle, and it is thought the bondsmen will loose nothing. The entire fault is in loaning the money: and being unable to cash the notes, as it is not charged that Straker is a defaulter himself.

WAEFAEE OF TIIE OIGHTS

A Heated Discussion Over the Proposed Chancres in the Executive Board. Barry Delivers a Vehement Speech, and the Lie Is Freely Passed Readable Revelations as to the Order's Inside Working. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Minneapolis. Minn., Oct 15. For nearly ten hours, to-day, barring a brief intermission for lunch, the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor was in the most secret of all its conclaves an executive session. The subject under consideration was the proposition introduced last night, nominally under the auspices of the committee on laws, but in reality emanating from a Philadelphia assembly in close sympathy with the administration, and which not only reduces the membership of the executive board from six to four, but confers upon the general master workman the power of dictating the membership of that body. The friends of T. B. Barry, the Michigan legislator, and Bailey, the Ohio miners' champion, saw in this proposition an attack upon their leaders and resolved to fight it to the bitter end. The result was tbat the proceedings of the day were the most sensational and noisy that have ever transpired in any previous session of the General Assembly since the order was brought into existence. The anti-administration men started off the fight to-day by renewing the charge that tbe proposition was aimed at the two "Bs," and delegate A. M. Dewey, of Detroit, was called upon to explain the report tbat he had said certain things derogatory to those gentlemen, both in Chicago aDd in this city. In response, Mr. Dewey said that, without mentioning names, he had made the statement that it would be for the best interests of the order for two members of the executive board to retire at once. Mr. Barry flung the He into Dewey's teeth by stating that he bad named him (Barry) as one of the two. From this time on the debate waxed hot and furious. At last Barry obtained the floor and made aN vehement defense. He said that it was sought to "down" tiirn because be, from the time that he had entered the executive board, had set his face against the financial mismanagement, something akin to boodlerism, which prevailed at headquarters. Then he went on to give details. He said that a certain master workman of New York, naming Thomas O'Reilly, who bad been appointed an organizer, had brought only five assemblies into existence during the year, while he permitted the previous membership to fall away, had been paid $1,250 without authority, and that Powderly had promised tbat the money should be refunded. Mr. Powderly, interrupting, said that he had made the motion to refund the money himself. Resuming, Mr. Barry said tbat this was a virtual admission that be considered it illegal. He charged that General Secretary Litchman bad discharged clerks in the ofSce. without notice or reason, in spite of his (Barry's) demand that no person should be discharged except for cause. Then, there was the case of a Miss Ryan, who was employed in the ofSce, in spite of the fact that she refused to affiliate with the order, on tbe ground that "the women of the order were not proper associates for her." Continuing, he charged that the general executive board had employed a lady telegrapher in the office who was not a member of the order, on the ground tbat she bad given valuable information during the Southwestern strike. The present stenographer, he said, was not a member until he and Bailey protested, whereupon she was proposed, was ballotted for and was elected the same night .by Litchman, O'Reilly an,d Hayes, despite tbe fact that the constitution said tbat no person should be balloted for and initiated the same night. He then attacked the general executive board for bringing female employes to tbe city and boarding them at the leading hotel of the city at a considerable outlay, and read an affidavit by a former stenographer of the board, detailing alleged trickery resorted to by several of its members and em-' ploves to work up a sentiment against himself and Bailey. "Hayes has gone around the country charging that I am Aan narchist," said the excited speaker. "I have said so only once, and that in a meeting of the board." shouted Hayes; "now I say so again." "It is a lie," responded Barry; "I am as loyal a son of this Republic as any man upon this floor. No man can call me an Anarchist on the outside." Resuming, he said that in the face of the falline off in membership the expenses of the general offices had doubled during the past year, while only half the work of tbe previous one had been done. Barry went on in this strain at length, and at one stage, advancing to the table he shook his fist and exclaimed to Powderly, "Presently, when you get into a sentimental mood, you will stand np here with the tears in your eyes and offer your resignation. Don't go too far. I warn you that this assembly is in no mood to entertain the one-man idea. It wants no king, and it will have none.'' This was greeted with applause and hisses. At another stage he charged a delegate with having declared that he and Bailey would have to go, and the delegate, rising to his feet, denied it "You did! You did! You said it to us!" yelled a half dozen delegates in chorus. After Barry had concluded, Hayes took the floor and made a long speech in self-defense. He said that he had broken up his business by his devotion to tbe order, and bad gone to Powderly and given in his resignation. "Mr. Powderly 6aid," continued Haves, 'if you go I will go, too.' 'Good God,f I replied.' if you and I would go, what would become of the order? " 1 his was greeted with roars of laughter on the part of the anti-administrationists. Resuming, he explained the charge that he had boarded his family at a hotel in Philadelphia at the expense of the order, saying that he did so in order that himself and Powderly might remain on the board and save the organization. Several delegates asked him if he had not spent a considerable portion of hjs time in political work in New Jersey. He replied in the affirmative, and said that but for the traitor like work of the Labor member from Paterson he would have dictated the United States Senator. Another delegate asked him if he had gone with $10,000 to Maine ta defeat Reed for Congress. "Yes," was the reply; I went there for that purpose, ana now 1 will say more. It is T. B . McGuire. and not John Jarrett, tbat defeated Morrison in Illinois. Morrison said 'd n the eight-hour law,' and the expression lost him his Beat. Tbe discussion ran along in this vein fcr hours, nearly every delegate and member of the executive board having something to say. At times tbe uproar was deafening. General Secretary Litcbman defended the administration of his office at length, and several delegates charged that the general administration was honeycombed with mismanagement When dusk approacned there were loud calls for a vote, and it was claimed that tbe adminis tration was staving on an expression or opinion because it knew that several delegates' were compelled to leave on tbe night trains. Finally, however, the debate was adjourned until Monday, and the tired and perspiring delegates filed from the ball. A paper was put in circnlation this evening, and, it is claimed, has received the signatures of thirty delegates, which pledges the signers, in event of the administration carrying the day, to attend a conference to be called some time next month. This ' is understood. to presage a split in tbe order. Mr. Powderly denied, in the course of the day's proceedings, that he had stated that his resignation was prepared, and was met by shouts of "Your friends are saying it for you." and "It's being used as a club." The opinion in the best-informed circles is tbat tbe Powderly administration will win by a vote of about 80 to 50. Less than 150 delegates are now in the city, and it is said that, despite the reports of the press committee, only 175 delegates presented their credentials. Aid for Striking: Miners. Pottsville, Pa., Oct. 15 District Assembly 18 i. Knights of Labor, composed exclusively of railroad men, met in this city to-day.

Railroad circles were perturbed, yesterday, by rumors of a coming bombshell. It wa impossible to get any official information, but according to the reports, the statement that Robert Garrett is now said to be preparing will be the greatest sensation of the year. It ia all about the sale

of the telegraph to Jay Gould. Mr. Garrett's opposition to that sale is well known. It is now report el that the retu t vai reached by means that were crooked, to say the least. In other words, that Mr. Garrett was not only dumfouided when he heard of the sale? but that his a&tonishmeat was intensified when he heard that certain cablegrams of vital importance, which he had sent while !f1 WM pending, did not reach those for whom they were intended, and that the negotiations were concluded in conseouenca. Th

reports also deal with other matters, such as estrangem.en between Mr. Garrett aad some of his close rnends. No one knew anything positive about the rumors, but they were so general that they gained considerable credence. Vice-president Spencer knew nothing of them. Murder At Evansville.

WHITIMORE. 553 K, Washington Street, Indianapolis. Mr. IWhitimore, a R. R. engineer, while running on his engine, contracted sore eyes from cold and exposure. At first he thought but little of it, using simple domestic remedies, until they got quite bad. He then sought the advice and services of a "Regular" oculist, who treated him several months, his eyes continually growing worse. After bis money was exhausted, he was sent to a hospital, where he remained until the sight of one eye was gone, and the other fast giving away. Seeing the advertisement of Dr. Barker, who was then at 64 East Market street he resolved to call upon hiin, but being disconraged by his physician, who told him that Dr. Barker - was an advertising quack, who would soon put out the other eye, he changed his mind, acd kept on getting blind the "Regular" way. His friends called his attention to the remarkable cures which Dr. Barker was performing, and insisted that he should see him. With sight gone, purse empty, entirely discouraged, firmly believing that life to him must be a continual night he finally called on Dr. Barker. -, After a most critical examination, the question, "What do you think of my case, doctor?" was asked. The reply came, ani with it, hope, T will cure you in from three to fiv weeks." The feeling of this unfortunate can b ter imagined than described, when leaving the offief be exclaimed, "If this man is a quack, may the goot Lord send us a shower of them; be has done more fof me in fifteen minutes than all the regulars (?) did it fifteen months." The ultimate result is explained ia the following OPEN LETTER: Da. Barker I was sorry I did not see you off, the train had just left as I got to the depot, so I returned to your office and found it full. When I told them you had gone home, one lady cried, she bad granulated lids. I told her to go to the physician who doctored me, and she said he had been tresting her for nine months .until she was nearly blind. There has been a host of people looking for you. I told them that they would have to wait for your return visit or go to Cincinnati to see you. Doctor, the old lady is getting along nicely; her eye is nice and clear. There is no infiammafiion at alL She rests well at night (This lady was blind from cataracts). And MY EYE! IS AS CLEAR AS A PEELED ONION, AND DON'T BOTHER ME A BIT. I have three cataract cases for you, and will have as many more when you return. Give this letter to the people, and let them know what we think of you. I told a young doctor that you knew more in one day than any of these "regulars" did in a year. He said you understood your business. When I told him of the number of operations you performed, be asked me how you. straightened cross eyes. I told him you did' it so quick I could not tell, and he said you was a wonder ful man in yonr business. I told him these eye doctors here ought to take a few lessons from you: that you would not charge them much. Well, this is all, ' from your humble patient, A. D.
