A Sample of Skillful Acting: by a Criminal Who Has Had Considerable Experience. Baltimore, April 2. George S. Massamore, aged twenty, a young man of dudish appearance, created a sensation in tho Criminal Court, this morning, when sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. The prisoner was accused of stealing jewelry to the value of $225 from Littleton C. Bandel, of Baltimore. Massamore intro duced himself to Bandel on tho 2d of last month, and said he was a nephew of a well-known citizen of Baltimore. They took a cocktail, when tho prisoner slipped some drug into the drink, and Mr. Bandel knew nothing more till next morning, when he awoke in a hotel with his shirt-front cut out, and his diamond stud and gold watch and chain gone. The prisoner was subsequently captured at tno inauguration in Washington. Later the watch was sent by some one to the marshal of the police. Massamore pleaded guilty to the indictment, and came before Judge Phelps and begged for mercy, imploring the court for the sato of his respectable relatives to be lenient. Judge Phelps said as tho prisoner had thrown himself upon the mercy of tbe court, and as part of tho property had been returned, the court would sentence him to two ana onehalf years in the penitentiary. These words fell like a thunkerbolt on the ears of the prisoner, and ho broke forth afresh and cried as if his heart would break. Ho begged the court for the sake of his old mother to take the nix months off. The judge's heart was touched, and he acceeded to tho request, and made tho sentence an even two years. Massamore was then seized with an epileptic tit, and with a scream fell to the floor. His shrieks and moans were pitiful. Deputy wardens took him to the lock-up while ho fought like a madman. He soon recovered, and during tho afternoon was safely housed in his new quarters. It is stated that Massamore is an old criminal, and that his picture adorns Inspector Bvrncs's 'art gallery," in New York. His lit is supposed to have been a sham. Evicted Settlers Making Trouble. Ft. Donc.E.Ia.. April 2. The old excitement among the river land settlers has been revived by tho resumption of evictions. At an early hour yesterday a large number of the 6ettlers, fully equipped with machinery and seed, started to plant crops in the farms from which settlers had been evicted last fall. This action is in keeping with the threat that they would repossess themselves of all lands from which they were then evicted. Tho farm of Charles Pigman, from which Win. Spainhower was evicted twiee last fall, was first visited during Mr. Pigman' absence on business. When he returned a few hours later he found his fields alivo with men and teams sowing cropy for the evicted settler. Pigman came to this city at onco and filed information against as many of the settlers as h knew, ami warrants will be issued for their arrest. The settlers announce that it is their intention to farm all lands from which evictions were made, and say that the official will bo defied if neeessarv. Such action will nrecipitato greater trouble than ever before known in river land circles, and there is much excitement in consequence. m s Stole a Box of Horse-Shoe Nails. Boston, April 2. A man of respectable appearance was seen to stcala box of horseshoe nails from a store in Faneuil Hall square, to-day, and was arrested. He became very ill while on the way to tho station, antl finally, had to be carried. Ho pave his name hm Charles Faulkner, of East Boston, aud said he could not explain the theft. He had been seized with an uncontrollable impulse to hteal something. He had never experienced the feeling before, while speaking, tho man suddenly fell to the lloor, having been stricken with paralysis. He was removed to a hospital.

About fifteen days ago, while at Delaware, O., he had an attack of bronchitis. Ho was very anxious to reach home as soon as possible, and started two weeks ago yesterday, arriving at Princeton on Tuesday, tho 19th of March. He had been taken much worse whilo on the train, and the attack of pneumonia immediately followed his reacbing home. He was in good health when he started, and was -not subject to bronchial attacks. His condition is considerably improved. Although ho is very feeble, he rests comfortably. It is thought that tho worst of his illness has been passed, and that ho is on the road to recovery.

STANLEY'S SEARCH FOR EMIN

Long Letter from the Explorer Giving Details of His Terilous Undertaking, Five Months of Marching Through a Wilderness, Accompanied by.Frequent Fighting with Natives Occupying the Country. Many Men Lost in Battle and by Disease, and Others Enticed Away by Arabs, The Central Plains of the Continent Are Finally Reached and the Almost Famishing Men Kevel in an Abundance of Food. After Eecnperation the Explorer Moves in tho Direction of Albert ftyanza, Where He at Last MeetsEmin Fasha and Spends Twenty-Si Bays in His Company A Thrilling Story of African Adventure. London", April 2. Sir FrancisDoWrinton, chairman of the Kmin Pasha relief committee, makes public the letter which ho received yesterday from Henry M. Stanley. It is dated Bunguugeta island, on the Aruwhimi, Aug. 28, 1SSS. After confirming his short dispatch of Aug. 17, already published, announcing that ho had relieved Eniin, Stanley proceeds to rclato the story of his movements from June 28, 1SS7. Ho says ho had established a palisaded camp atYambuya, on the lower Aruwhimi, just below the first rapids, and appointed Bartellot commandant, with Jamieson associated with him. On tho arrival of tho men and goods from Stanley Pool and Bolobo tho officers were to report to Bartellot for duty, but no important action was to be taken without consulting Messrs. Jameson, Troup and Ward. Tho officers admitted that the instructions were explicit and clear. Bartellot had 257 men. He was to stay at Yambaya until tho 6teamer arrived from Stanley Falls with men and goods, and if Tippoo Tib furnished the carriers promised, he was to march, following tho track blazed out by Stanley's advance column. If tho carriers did not arrive, Bartellot might disregard theso directions, and begin short journeys until Stanley should como down to his reBef. Stanley's column 6et out Juno 2S, 16S7, from Yambuga with S80 officers and men. On tho first day tho natives they met fired their villages and began fighting. The skirmish lasted only fifteen minutes. Tho natives continued for five days along tho march to impede tho advance in every way they knew of, but not a man of Stanley's party was lost. The party reached tno river again on July 5, and from that time till October 18 followed the left bank. After rev, enteen days' continuous marching thej halted for one day's rest. On the twentyfourth day they lost two men by desertion. They made only four halts in July. On August 1 the first death occurred. It was Irom dysentery. They now entered a wilderness which it took nine days to march through. Their sufferings began to increase, and several deaths occurred. Tho river helped them, as the canoes relieved the men ot much of their burdens. On Aug. 13, on arriving at Airsibba, the natives attacked them, and live men were killed by poisoned arrows. Lieutenant Stairs was wounded near the heart, and snfiered greatly for a month before recovering. On Aug. 15, Mr. Jepson, commanding the laud party, got too far inland and was lost. His contingent rejoined the main party on the 21st, On the 15th they arrived in the district of Airjeli, and camped lor a while opposite the mouth of the tributary Ncpoko. On Aug. 21 the party fell in with a caravan of Manyema, under Uledi-Balyus. This was most unfortunate, as Stanley had taken the route he did in order to avoid the Arabs. As expected, several of his men were tampered with by the Arabs, and within three days twenty-six had deserted. On Sent. 15 Hanloy arrived nt camp, opposite Ugarrowwas. He could not rely on friendly relations with tho chief, and finally made a trade with him, leaving fifty-six sick men with him, and 5 a montn apiece was to be paid the chief for taking care of them. Three days later Stanley left Ugarrowwas, and on Oct. 18 reached a settlement belonging to Kilingnlonga, a Zanzibareso slave of Abed Bin Salini, the fierce old Arab who has made so much trouble in tho Congo State. Stanley says: "This proved an awful month to us. Not ono member of our expedition, white or black, will forget it. Out of tho S89 men with whom we had started, wo lost sixtysix by desertion and death between Yambuya and Ugarrowwas, and left fifty-six sick at the Arab station. On reaching Kilingalonga we found wo had lo6t fiftyfive moro men by starvation and desertion. We had lived principally on wild fruit and nuts. Abed Bin balim's slaves did their utmost, short of open hostilities, to ruin tho expedition. They induced tho men to sell rilies and clothing, so that when we left we were beggared and the men nearly naked. We were too weak to carry the baggage, and Beveutv loads of goods wo left at Kilingalonga, under Surgeon Park and Captain Nelson, tho latter' of whom was unable to march. After marching twelve days we reached Ibwiri. The Arabs had devastated the whole country, so that not a native hut was standing between Ugarrowwas and Ibwiri. What had not been destroyed by slaves of Abed Bin Salim, the elephants ruined, so that the whole region was turned into a horrible wilderness. But at Ibwiri we were bevond the utmost reach of destroyers. "We were on virgin soil in a populous region abound ingwith food. Our sufferings from hunger, which began Aug. bl terminated on Nov. 12. Ourselves and men were skeletons. Out of S87 men we now number oulv 174. and several of these had no hope of life left. A halt was ordered for the men to recuperate. Hitherto they were skeptical of what we had told them. Their sntVerings had been so awful, their enemies so numerous, the forests so endless, that they refused to believe that by and by we should see plains, and cattle, and tho Nyanza, and the white man Kmin Pasha. We felt as though we were dragging them along with a chain around. our necks. 'Beyond these hardships,' said I, 'lies a country untouched, where food is abundant, and where you will forget your miseries, so cheer up, boys; be men; press on a littlo faster.' They were deaf to our prayers and entreaties, for. driven by hunger and suffering, they sold their rilies and equipments for a few ears of Indian corn, deserted with the ammunition, and wero altogether demoralized.' Perceiving that prayers, and entreaties, and mild punishments were of no avail, I then resorted to visiting upon the wretches tho death penalty. Two of tho worst cases wero accordingly taken and hanged in tho presence of alL Wo halted twelve days in Ibwiri and reveled on fowls, goats, bananas, corn, sweet potatoes, yams, beans, etc. The supplies were inexhaustible. Tho people glutted themselves. The result was that I had 173 sleek and mostly robust men when we set out for Albert Nyanza, on Nov. 24. JOne man had been killed by an arrow. We were still 120 miles from the lake, but with food such a distance seemed nothing. On Dec. 1 we sighted tho open country from tho top of tho ridge, which was named Mt. Pisgah, because it was our first view of the land of

promise and plenty. Dec. 5 we emerged on tho plains, aud the gloomy, deadly forest was behind us. After ICO days' continuous gloom ve saw the light of day making everything beautiful. We thought we had never seen grass so green, or country 60 lovely. The men leaped for joy, and ran with their burdens. 4At Kilongasongas, on Dec. 0, wo came to the country of tho powerful Chief Mazamboni. Our road lay through his numerous villages. The natives sighted us, and were prepared. Wo seized a hill as soon as we arrived n tho center of a mass of villages, about 4 r. m. on Dec. 9, occupied it aud built a zariba of brush-wood as fast as we could cut it. The war cries were terrible, and came from hill to hill across the valleys. People gathered by hundreds from all points, and war-horns and drums announced the coming struggle. Who checked the first advance of the natives with a little skirmish and captured a cow, the first meat wchad tasted since leaving tho ocean. Night passed peacefuBy. In the morning wo opened a parley. The natives were anxious to know who we were, and we were equally anxious to glean news. They said Mazamboni only held tho country for Kabbarega, who was their real King. They finally accepted cloth and brass rods to 6how Mazamboni, and hostilities wero suspended until morning, when Mazamboni sent word that wo must be driven from the land. The proclamation was greeted in the valley with deafening cheer. Their word 'kanawana' signified peace, and kurwana' war. We hoped we had heard wrongly, therefore, and sent our interpreter nearer to inquire. They responded, 'kurwana,' and emphasized it with two arrows fired at liim. Our hill was between two villages. 1 sent eight men under Lieutenaut Stairs to attack the natives in one valley, and thirty under Mr. Jepson in the other valley. Stairs crossed a deep river in face of tho natives, assaulted the first village, and took it. The sharpshooters did effective work, aud drove the natives back up the opposite slope until tho fight became general. Jepson also drove tho natives in front of him. Wo marched straight up tho valley, driving back tho people and taking villages as we went. At 3 r. M. not a native was visible anywhere, except on ono small hill, a niilo and a half west. "On the morning of the 12th wo continued our march. During tho day we had four little lights. On the 13th we marched straight cast and wero attacked by new forces everv hour until noon, when wo halted for refreshments. At 1

p. sr. we resumed our march, and fifteen minutes later I cried. 'Prepare for sight of Ny-anza.' The men murmured and doubted, and said, 'Why does master continually talk this wayf Nyanza, indeed! Is not this a plain, and cannot wo seo tho mountains!' But fifteen minutes later, and after four days' march, the Albert Nyanza was below them. All came to kiss my hands in recognition of my prophecy. Our position was 5,200 feet above tho sea: the lake was over 2,100 feet below us. We wero then ono degree twenty minutes north latitude. The i south end of the Nyanza bay is mapped out about six miles south of this position. Kight across to tho eastern shore was the tributary Lanilika, flowing from tho southwest. As wo descended, the natives, a hundred feet below, poured in on us, but their -primitive stylo of fighting did not delay us. Tho rear guartl fonght until we were within 100 feet of the plain, where we camped. We were attacked during the night, but we drove oil'the attackers. "At 9 o'clock next morning wo reached the villago of Kakokongo. out wero unable to make friends with the inhabitants. They wouldn't be friendly, because, having never heard of a white man. they feared wo would scare their cattle. They would not accept any presents, or, indeed, have anything to do with us, though they wero perfectly civil. t They gave us water to drink, but nothing else. The' showed us the path, and we camped half a mil from the lake. "My couriers from Zanzibar evidently had not arrived, or Kmin Pasha would have arrived.at the southeastern shore of tho lake. I ty boat was ono hundred miles distant, and there was no tree in sight large enough to i Make a canoe. Wo had used nearly all our remaining ammunition in the hvo days' fighting on the plains, and a long light must exhaust our stock. There was no feasible plan, except to retreat to Ibwiri, build a fort, and eend for store and ammunition, sending the boat to search for Kmin. This .plan, after a long discussion, wo resolved upon. On the 15th we marched to Kavali, on the west side of ' the lake. In the afternoon the Kakahon go natives shot arrows into our bivouac. We resumed tho march by night, and by 10 a. m the ICth, we had gained access to tho plateau, tho natives following us until they became tired. We lost ono killed and one wounded. "On Jan., 7 wo wero in Ibwiri again, Lieutenant Stairs being sent to Kilongalonga's to bring stores. Only eleven men ,were brought into the fort out of thirtyeight sick, the rest having died ordeserted. Soon after Stairs' departure, I was attacked with gastritis and an abscess on the arm. I recovered and after forty-seven days set out for Albert Nynanza, on April 2. Captain Nelson was left in command of Fort Bedo. "April 26, we again arrived in Mozainboni'8 country, lie consented to make a blood brotherhood with me, though this time I had fifty less ritles than on my former visit. Mozamboni's example was taken by tho other chiefs, and wo had littlo further difiicultv, and we lived royally." On Stanley's "march from Nyanza the natives came from Kavali, saying that a white man named Malcjja had given their chief a black packet to give to Stanley, and asking him to follow them, Thev remained that night, telling wonderful stories, which convinced Stanley that this white man was Emin Pasha. The next day they met chief Kavali nnd he handed Stanley a note from Emin Pasha, which was to the effect that, as there had been a rumor that a white man had been seen at tho south end of the lake, he had gone in his steamer to make inquiries, but had been unable t obtain any reliable information. However, ho had heard that Stanley was in Mozamboni's country, . and he begged him to remain where he was until he could communicate with him. The note was eigned "Dr. Emin." and dated Marqh 2o The next day, Ajril 23, a strong force took a boat to the Nyanza. On the 2Cth they sighted M.wa station,the southernmost belonging to Emm Pasha, and were hospitably received by the Egyptian garrison. They were hailed as brothers. Stanley then continues: "April 20 we once again reached tho bivouac ground occupied by us on Dec. 10. and at 5 p. m. of tnat day I saw the Khedive gteamer, seven miles away, steaming toward us. Soon after 7 p. m. Emin Pasha, and Signor Casata, and Mr. Jepson arrived at our camp, where they were heartily welcomed bv us. We wero together until 5lay 25. On that day I left him. Fourteen da3's later I was at Fort Bodo, where were Captain Nelson and Lieutenant Stairs. The latter had returned from Ugarrowwas twenty-two days after I had set out for the lake, bringing with him only sixteen men out of fifty-six. All the rest were dead. My twenty couriers whom I had sent with letters to Major Bartelot had safely left Ugarrowwas for Yambuya. On March 16 Fort Bodo was nourishing, the men having nearly ten acres under cultivation. "Juno 16 1 left Fort Bodo with 111 Zanzibaris and 101 of Emin Pasha's people. Lieutenant Stairs had been appointed commandant of tho fort. Nelson was second in command and Surgeon Parke medical officer. The garrison consisted of fifty-nine rilies. I had thus deprived myself of all my officers, in order that 1 should not be encumbered with baggage, and provisions, and medicines, which would have to be taken if accompanied by Europeans, aud every carrier was necessary for tho vast stores which bad been left with Bartelot. June 21 we reached Kilongalouga's. and July 19, Ugarrowwas. The latter station was deserted. Ugarrowwas, having gathered as much ivory ashe could obtain from that district. had proceeded down the river three months before. On leaving Bodo. 1 had loaded ev ery carrier with about sixty ponnds of corn, and wo went through the wilderness unscathed, nassine down the river and daily expecting to meet car riers wlio Uaa been stiruulatetl by the re ward or 4.1U per ncati, or the Major himself. Aug. 10 we overtook Ugarrowwas with an immense ilotilla of fifty-seven canoes, and to our wonder our couriers were reduced to seventeen. They related an awful story of nauureaain escapes ana tragic scenes.

Three of their number had been slam, two were ntill feeble from their wounds, and all but five boro on their bodies the scars of arrow wounds. "Aug. 17 we met tho rear column of the expeditionatBanalaya. Mr. Bonncy mctme and told me of Bartelot's death, and that Jamieson had gone . to Stanley Falls for more men, and Mr. Troup had gone home sick. I found the rear column a terrific wreck. Out of 257 men only seventy-one remained, and of these only fifty-three were fit for service, and theso wero mostly scare-crows. According, to Bonuey, during the fourteen months since 1 left, the record had been ono of disaster, dehertion and death. Many of tho details seem incredible. There remained still far moro stores than I could carry, and at tho samo time articles needful were missing. Deserters had spread the report that 1 was dead, and the officers accepted the report, and agreed to cancel my instructions. Thev accordingly sent my personal kit, medicines, soap, candles and provisions down tho Congo as superfluities. Thus, after my immense sacrihecs to relieve and cheer them, I found myself naked, and deprived of even necessaries. But, strange o say, I have kept two hats, four pairs of joots. a flannel jacket, aud I propose to go ack- to Emin Pasha and across Africa with this truly African kit. On returning hero wo lost only three men, one by desertion. Out of tho 257 men I left at Yambuya, only 6eventy-one remain, and ten of these will die. This great loss shows that, despite the sufferings on the march, the mortality was not 60 great as in camp. Tho survivors of the march are all robust, while the survivors of the rear column are thin and most unhealthy looking." The party passed ICO days going through one continuous forest. Stanley estimates its area at 240,000 square miles. Between Yanibuyaand Nyanza five distinct languages were spoken by the natives. Fifty miles before reaching Nyanza, they 6aw a mountain about 18,000 feet high, its summit covered with snow. In a talk with Emin Bey ho expresses tho opinion that it was best he and his ?artv should retire from where they were, he "Egyptians were willing to leave; but of the regulars composing the two battalions Emin had some doubt as to their willingness to depart. They had led such a happy life and would demur at leaving a country where they have enjoyed luxuries they cannot command in Egypt. The soldiers are married, and several nave harems. Emin feared that, if left behind, all discipline among them would end; the more ambitious would aspire to be chiefs by forceN and from these rivalries would spring hate and slaughter until none were left.

The weather was perfect. and a largo vote was polled. Universal interest was manifested m the day's con test, but no disturbance of any kind occurred. Nearly cverv office of tho list was capt ured by tho Democrats. The only Repub lican success was in hanging on to tho South-town offices by a very narrow mar gin, lho result is generally conceded to be a sweeping victory for the labor element, the advocates of elevated roads, and .those who lavor a divorco between municipal and national politics. Dividing the St. Louis Offices. St. Louis,! April 2. Complete returns from tho twenty-eight wards of the city show that Judge E. A. Noonan (Deni.), for Ma3'or, has a total vote of 28,715; Col. Jas. G. Butler (Rep.), 27,0S9. Noonan's plurality, 1,020. Tho . Democrats elect auditor, inspector of weights and measures. register, and but ono of the five councilmen, whilo the Republicans 6ecure collector, comptroller, treasurer, president of Board of Publie Improvements, and four councilmen. fcTho llotiso of Delegates will bo eighteen Republicans and eleven Democrats. The result of the election, while a surprise to many, in the face of the overwhelming Republican majority last November, was not unexpected by certain elements of tho Republican party. The nomination of Col. James G. Butler for tho mayoralty was claimed to have been secured by a free use of money, and the following of D. P. Slattery, his opponent in the convention, were bent on revenge. In addition to this factor iuthe contest, Judge Noonan represented the liberal, or saloon element, while Colonel Butler was a recognized silk-stocking, with prohibitory tendencies. Tho defeat of General McNeil, for auditor, is attributed tohiswar record. On the remainder of the ticket, personal strength entered largely into the contest, aud politics played but a small part. It was a young man's progressive policy as against an old man's conservative ideas of municipal government. Results in Ohio. Cincinnati, April 2.

JOHN A. KASSON FOR BERLIN

An Administration Senator Says that tho Iowan Will Succeed Mr. Fcndleton. The Time of Appointment, Ilowever, Is Tnccrtain, and Depends on the Result of a Conference of the President and Cabinet. Mr. Teller Explains the Cause of Ilis Opposition to Confirmation of Halstead. The President Sends to the Senate Another List of Nominations and That Body Completes Its Business and Adjourns. TELE MISSION TO BERLIN. A Senator Confidently Predict that It Will lie Given to John A. Kasion. Epeeial to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 2. 4You may say. positively," said a Senator to-night, who is in close communion with tho administration, "that John A. Kasson, of Iowa, will certainly be tho next minister of the United States to Berlin. I have this on undoubted authority." "When will he bo appointed!' was asked. "That I cannot eay," was tho reply. "Mr. Kasson has just been commissioned to represent the United States at tho Berlin conference on tho Samoan matter, and I do not think the President has considered tho question of promoting him to the office of minister plenipotentiary to tho same placo just yet that is, I mean I do not think tho President has talked with his Cabinet about changing the official duties of Mr. Kasson. It may be, therefore, that he will be permitted to bring abont an understanding on the Samoan question in his present capacity before he is assigned to the more important post. On tho other band, the Cabinet may think it a better policy that ho should have the rank at once, and in this event tho appointment will bo forthcoming immediately." SENATOR TELLER. He Did Xot Oppose Halstead on Personal Grounds, but Because of Lack of Fitness. Special to the InAlanapolls Journal. Washington, April2. "So faras I am con cerned, and I believe I speak the sentiment of all tho Republicans who voted against the confirmation of Muratll alstead, I can truthfully say that the criticisms made of me by that distinguished editor in connection with the Senator Payne investigation had no bearing whatever upon my action,1 said Senator Teller, to-day. "Myopposition to Mr. Halstead," continued the Sen ator, "was on the ground that he was not fitted by natural temperament for the position. He is too inflammable and excitable. With the prospect of 6erious diplomatic differences between tho United States and Germany, we need a minister in Berlin who is far-seeine, cool-headed and calm in the most severe times of excitement. Mr. Halstead is a man of great ability, wide experience and unquestionable popularity in his party. He also has many warm personal friends outsideof political parties. The editorials he wrote abusing the Republican Senators woo voted to seat Payne had the eliect oi di recting attention to the fact that he was unable to control his temper, and the read ing of theso editorials and tne letters no wrote during the war criticising Lincoln, Grant andotherg were read for the purposo of indicating his general character and un fitness for the diplomatic position, and not for the purpose of prejudicing any one on personal grounds. The prejudice of no Senator was appealed to, and no one was expected to vote against him because he had criticised tneactiousor xnepnrposcBoi oenatorsatany time, and the representations by the press to the contrary are untrue."
