It has been alleged that an attempt is being made by J. T. Brush, of Indianapolis, to wreck the Western Baseball League. It is said he charges that Milwaukee, Detroit, St. Paul and Kansas City violated certain agreements by admitting Grand Rapids last spring, when Minneapolis and Indianapolis objected to giving Deacon Ellis a franchise. To-day President "Ban" Johnson, Vanderbeck of Detroit and'Klllilea held a conference here tot formulate plans to fight Messrs. Brush and Goodnow, of Minneapolis. The latter is said to be in league with the Indianapolis president. Comiskey is expected here to-morrow morning, and tomorrow night Johnson and President Kiliilea will leave for New York to attend a special meeting of the board of arbitration, which is called to consider the protest entered by Messrs. Brush and Goodnow. PresJdent Johnson said to-night that Brush had offered the Milwaukee franchise to II. D. Qulnn, of this city, who had accepted, and that Mr. Brush had also been in Detroit and Kansas City trying to interest people there to take those two clubs In case Manning and Vanderbeck were disqualified by the National board. Vanderbeck says he will join with KilliU8, Manning and Comiskey in righting Messrs. Brush and Goodnow, and President Johnson says the Western League fund of $15,000 will be used by those Clubs to maintain their position if Indianapolis and Minneapolis withdraw. President N. E. Young recently acknolwedged the receipt of President Johnson's request for the protection of the eight cities now in ,rlhe Western League In adition to Omaha and Toledo, which will be admitted if nec essary to take the places of Minneapolis and Indianapolis. Manning, of Kansas City, telegraphed to-night that Mr. Brush had been in Kansas City, but that he knew nothing of his plans. Interesting developments are expected nere to-morrow, when Comiskey joins Vanderbeck, Johnson and Killilea. AX ALLICGUIl DUAL Whereby IndlnnnnoliN and MlnnenpoII Will Knler the BI League. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PITTSBURG, Oct. 2.- Hy accident tonight, what looks to be a scheme on the part of the National League was brought out. The plan Is, acocrding to the best authority, the transfer of the Minneapolis and Indianapolis Western League clubs into " the National League, to take the places of St. Louis and Cleveland. It is also said by one who knows that arrangements have almost been closed, and that the announcement jwill be made at the National League meeting. Von der Ahe figures that he can make as much money out of his' racing park and his bars at the ground with a minor league team, and he is said' to be not averse to accepting the terms offered him by the National League for a transfer into the Western League. Frank Dellass Robison, of the Cleveland club, is both willing and anxious to make the transfer, and one of the two minor league clubs will take the Cleveland grounds. The Cleveland club has not been a paying investment for the club people at home, while St. Louis has been much of a frost to all gave Von der Ahe, who has managed to pull out much ahead of the game owing to his side shows. The premature prominence given the proposed deal last winter whereby Cleveland was to transfer her franchise to Detroit caused a stoppage in plans, and it has made the magnates wary. It is now given out that the consent of all the magnates has been secured to the proposed shift. THE PLAYERS GOT. LITTLE. Poor Attendance at Minneapolis WntkiiiM nt Home. The Indianapolis baseball team returned from Minneapolis yesterday. Many of the players have already gene to their homes, but there are still enough of them to play with Cincinnati to-morrow in that city. Fisher, Damon and Davis wijl do the pitching, and it is expected that Indianapolis will get beaten on account of the crippled condition of the team, but that it will put up a good game. It will give the Cincinnati people a chance to judge the qualities of Damon and Davis, which they are anxious to do. Manager Watkins was not very well pleased with the cup series. The attendance in Minneapolis was very light, only about 3.f00 people seeing the three games, while here nearly 5,000 saw three games. This cut the shares of the players down considerably. The Indianapolis men received about $50 each and the Minneapolis men received about $75 from the entire series. In sneaking of the games at Minneapolis Mr. Watkins explained some of the points which were not fully stated in the telegraph reiorts. It was the crippled condition of the team that caused the loss of the series, he says. In the first game, which was lost by 6 to 7, the Millers made three run which they cou'd not possibly have made with the regular Indianapolis team against them. Three men were on bases, ai'd on account of certain conditions and the loss of men Roat had to be plaved In left field and McCarthy In center. This was because Damon was pitching, and most of the hits wade oft him go to center or right ileid. Roat had arranged for McCarthy to run to him when a ball went In left, and then Roat would throw it to McCarthy and let him field it in. With Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, MOST PERFECT MADE.

three men on bases, there was a hard hit bait between Roat and McCarthy. They both ran for it. Roat staying behind to give the first chance to field it ir;. The runners could not tell whether the ball would fall safe, and had to remain on bases until it had reached the field. Neither fielder could reach it, and just as McCarthy stooped to jick it oft the ground it bounded over his head. Roat stopped it and quickly tossed it to McCarthy, but he was goine: so fast that he could not recover himself in time to turn and pet the ball, the result being that it rolled to the fence and all the runners, including the batter, reached the piate, making four runs on that hit. Mad the team not been crippled so McCdr.hy could have played in hi usual place this would not have happened. Only one run would have been scored on the hit. and the next ball was a high fly. which was easiiv pulled down. This would have made the score 6 to 4 in favor of Indianapolis. One of the other games was lest by causes verv similar. This is given merely to show what the loss of a man may do to a club. In this case the less of a fielder necessitated changing McCarthy, and th:s move lost the game. Many of the players have already left the eft v. Cross has gone to Manchester.

Newspapers in other cities yesterday contained some startling nWs about the Western League ball managers. It was on a line with what .was printed in yesterday's Journal, but went further. The principal statements are traceable directly to Ban Johnson, president of the League, and baseball writer for the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. That paper charged that John T. Brush had prepared a scheme to wreck the Western League and that the proposed withdrawal of the Indianapolis and Minneapolis clubs was the first part of the programme to be carried out. It did not outline the full "scheme." but left the impression that it was deeply laid and was arranged for financial gain for Mr. Brush. It did not intimate that such a thing as the desire to get rid of such an unfair president as Ban Johnson might be at the bottom of the matter. Mr. Brush was asked last night what explanation he had to offer, but declined to say anything for publication at present. Sanger' Revoril Lowered. DENVER, Col., Oct. 2. Clinton R.

YEARLY MEETING DATE PROPOSITION TO CHANGE IT VOTED DOWN AT RICHMOND. Friend' MIionnry Work in Mexico Shown to He Prospering; I'orelscn Ylttitorn Present. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind.. Oct. 2. The attend ance at the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends to-day was much increased, and the sessions were full of interest. David Hadley, of the Western Yearly Meeting, conducted the devotional services. The first business introduced was the matter of the quinquennial conference to be held in 1S97 at Indianapolis. A committee was appointed to propose names for members of this conference and to prepare a statement of the views of this Yearly Meeting as to what the powers of the conference should be. Credentials were read for Mary E. Phillip's, of England, a Christian worker of note in that country, and also for William L. Wilson, of Center, N. C. Epistles were read from the North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, Canada. Kansas, Wilmington, Oregon and California "Yearly Meetings. A committee was appointed to propose the name of a Friend for trustee of the meeting to succeed the late Jonathan Baldwin, of this city. Statistics of this meeting show: Membership last year, 13.543; total additions, 1.500; total losses, LOIS; net gain, 482; membership this year, 19,027; Southerland members, 483; Mexico members, 400; complete total membership, 39,910; households represented, 6,111; males, .9,131; females, 10,379; under twenty-one years, 6,769; adult members who contribute, 5,635; adult members who do not contribute, 6,437; resident members, 15.9S7; nonresident, 3,040; established meetings, 156; monthly meetings, 55; recorded ministers, 210; meetings without a resident minister, 44; members in college, 12S; members teaching, 219. The committee appointed last year to consider the propriety of changing the date of the Yearly Meeting proposed that the time be changed to the last of August and first of September, or between Ohio and Iowa yearly Meetings, providing North Carolina, Wilmington and Ohio will change the time of holding their meetings so that the change can be made without conflict. The chief objection to the change cam-3 in the claim that the new date proposed is one of the busiest for the farmer. When the vote was taken it resulted in defeat. It was evident, however, that the subject will not be dropped, and an effort will be made during the year to ascertain the feeling of the young people on the question. The committee appointed to propose names to constitute a board of managers to have charge of a biblical conference to be held .-it Karlham College at the close of the summer school next year presented these names, which were accepted: Rev Allen Jay, Rev. M. M. Binford. Rev. Alfred Brown. Clarkson Parker. President J J. Miiis, Mrs. Hannah L. Smith. Mrs. Ella, .1. Davis. Mrs. Esther Cook and Mrs. Clarabe I B. Harrison. The report of the Women's Foreign Missionary Association showed that the work in Hussey Institute. Matamoras, Mexico, has srone forward encouragl-iuly. Efforts are being made to unite all the Friends' missions into a purely Mexican church, with its yearly conference. The idea of coeducation is advancing. The treasurer's report showed total receipts of $2.nf0.30 and total disbursements of $2,027.1 S, with invested funds amounting to J5..'!"n. The executive committee on foreign missions made a lengthy report. Samuel A. Purdie who was relieved from service in Mexico a year ago. is now engaged in Central Amerioa. having been employed by the Central Board of Missions. W. I. Kelsev anrl ,-jf and Josenh Lamb now have charge of the work in Mexico. The session of the women's meeting this morning was quite interesting. The report of'the W. F. M. S. was presented, and after a discussion of the work a collection of $150.34 was taken. A committee was appointed to act in conjunction with a similar committee from the men's meetine to name delegates to the conference at Indianapolis next year. Interesting- talks were made by Fariby Stephens, of this city Rebecca Lloyd, of New York, and Anna D Francisco, of this city. Great Ileud. Philadelphia Press. Many persons are puzzled as to why Mr Bryan wasted his time in Eastern States' where he must have known there is no hope of Popocratie success. But Mr. Bryan does not know one-half as much as some people think. He has a purpose, however about which he talks to intimate friends only. ''If wc do not carry any one of those Eastern States." he reasons, "we will at least scare our opponents and make them use a good deal of their campaign material here instead of in the West." Perhans Chairman Hanna is a f!dgling in politics easily wiseld by a charlatan, and perhaps he is not. Bryan wi'l find out to his sorrow after the election. He seems to be incap;ib!e of profiting by the lessons taught by Vermont and Maim. In the Twelfth Di.ttrict. Washington Post. Congressman I). J. Leigh ty. of Indiana, does not believe the free-silver Republican vote in that State will average fifty to the county. He writes to Chairman Habeook that he knows of no reason why those who voted ivith the Republicans. In is:4 will not do so now. ami in the Twelfth district he believes the Republicans will have the vote? of 2.000 sound-money Democrats. Some of his friends claim that number in Allen county alone. He has never seen in his politcal experience so many Democrats supporting the Republican ticket. He says they are working as ardently for its success as the most ardent ReoiibMcans. The German papers in Mr. Lelghty's district are supporting him for Connresa. i

VICTORY FOR HACEO

WFA'LKR'S TROCHA ATTACKED BY THE INSURGENT CHIEFTAIN, And Terrible Loien Inflicted on the Spanish Column Commanded hy General Arala, OVER 1,000 SOLDIERS SLAIN DYNAMITE SHELLS USED BY CUBANS WITH FRIGHTFUL EFFECT. Two Other Battles, in AVhicli, According to Spanish Accounts, the Insurgent Were Defeated. KEY WEST, Fla., Oct. 2. Advices received here from Havana state that Antonio Maceo, in a recent attack on the trocha, inflicted terrible losses on the Spaniards, more than one thousand being killed and wounded. The attack was made at night, and was carefully planned. The fighting was general all along the line, but was fiercest near Artemisa, where Antonio Maceo led a picked force of insurgents against the Spanish column commanded by General Aralas. The Spaniards were taken completely by surprise. They were aroused from sleep to find a hail of insurgent bullets falling upon them. Gen. Aralas and his staff, half clad, rushed from their headquarters and tried to rally the Spanish troops, who were panic-stricken by the insurgents attack. It was half an hour before even a semblance of order could be restored to the Spanish column, and during that time the troops remained huddled together, an easy mark for the bullets of the Cubans, It was during the period of . the panic that so many of the Spanish troops were killed. The insurgents had several dynamite guns, and these were used with terrible effect, the shells bursting among the Spaniards and striking thern down by the scores. The wounds made by the dynamite shells were frightful, in many instances men being literally blown to pieces. It is said many Spanish officers were killed and that General Aralas himself was slightly injured. After General Aralas succeeded in rallying his men he made a retreat and the Spaniards fell back four miles or more, leaving the trocha in the hands of the insurgents. Antonio Maceo did not pursue the Spaniards, but held possession of Artemisa until morning, when he retreated to his stronghold. Before the insurgents retreated they demolished the section of the trocha near Artemisa, blowing up the fortification with dynamite. They captured six pieces of artillery and many thousands of cartridges and several hundred stands of arms. While the attack was in progress at Artemisa Maceo's lieutenants were assaulting the trocha with equal success on the right and left. The attack raged from Bahial Honda, on the north, to Mikanda, cn the south, and at all points the strong Kne was demolished. Maceo could easily have crossed with his entire force, but it seems that he had no such purpose in view. His object was simply to demolish the trocha so that it would not impede his eastward march when he desires to advance to meet Gomez. , The steamer Mascotte arrived from Havana yesterday morning, having been detained by rough weather. On board the steamer was Samuel T. Tolon, the American citizen who was arrested some days ago on an American steamer in Havana harbor and whose arrest caused a quarrel between United States Consul Lee and Captain General Weyler. It is said that Consul Lee talked to Weyler in the harshest manner, telling him that he was abusing the patience of the United States government by his brutal treatment of American citizens and that the United States would no longer tolerate such conduct. Weyler is said to have apologized and immediately ordered the release of Tolon. Tolon is en route to Washington, where he will present his case to the State Department and make a claim against Spain for $50,000 damages for his arrest.. OTHER BATTLES. Macro's Army of InaursentJi Aliened to Have Been Routed hy Spaniards. HAVANA, Oct. 2. General Melguizo and Colonels Hernandez, Frances and Romero left Mantua, province of Pinar del Rio, during the morning of Tuesda" last, in order to attack the insurgents under Antonio Maceo. The Hernandez column, proceeding in the direction of Tumbas de Torino, after an hour's march, engaged Maceo's forces and dislodged them from their positions.-Continuing the advance. Colonel Hernandez, at '1:30 p. in., again met the enemy. By this time the insurgents had concentrated their forces and a severe fight, which lasted until night, began. Tha Spanish troops advanced foot by foot and again dislodged the insurgents. The operations were conducted during a heavy downpour of rain, which considerably hindered the advance. The troops pushed forward on the following morning and were met by four cannon shots at short range from an insurgent position. The insurgents were again driven backwards and troops camped in the enemy's position, but left them later in order to carry back the wounded and secure provisions and ammunition. The column of troops commanded by Colonel Frances entered Ma?iajai and engaged the insurgent forces commanded by Perico, Diaz. Payao and others, dislodging them at the point of the bayonet and compelling the enemy to disperse. In the two engagements the insurgents left eighty men killed and a quantity of arms and ammunition on the fields, and retired with over two hundred wounded. On the side of the Spaniards eleven men were killed, and Major zquirdo, Captain Bannis and eighty-six privates were wounded. Of" the Spanish wounded thirty-one men aren a serious condition.

The steamship Gyller, a Norwegian vessel under charter of the Texas Star flour mills, of this port, plying to Cuban ports, after sailing out of Cienfuegos on Aug. 29 at S p. m., was fired on by a strange ship. The shot whistled by just above her mast. The Gyller hove to and was immediately boarded by a party of armed men. who put off from the strange ship in a lifeboat and demanded an inspection of the. Norwegian vessel's papers. Captain Basmussen satisfied the boarding party that the Gyller was a trader and they departed without giving any n:ime and refusing to answer any questions. Captain Basmussen is sure the stranger was a Spanish war slr'p. The Gyller was on the high seas ten English miles from the coast. Business F.mbiirra swiiien t. NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 2. -A. R.

the county, on account of his dealings with them in thj last twenty-five years, made the remark that he would give $10 for every straierht-out Republican in the county who would vote for Bryan. This remark was not made in a dark corner, but on the street in the presence of several men. who claimed his ten-dollar bills. The challengers began naming their free-silver Republicans. The first one that was named happened to be an old faimer with several sons. The report had gained currency through Democratic sources that all of them would vote for Bryan. Mr. Voris informed the claimant for the $10 that he had seen this man within three days, and that ha. had most emphatically denied the report of his straying from the party. This statement of Mr. Voris was backed up by others to whom the denial had been made. Another man claimed $10 for a farmer who lived in the extreme southeast part of the county. It happened that this man had voted the Republican ticket ten yeirs ago. but since that time had been an ardent Populist. Tmis the challengers were disposed of. Mr. Voris recalling the exact condition of each farmer named. Most of them who had been claimed by the Democrats as Republican free-silver men, proved to be men who at one time in the dim and distant past had voted the Republican ticket at some time or other, but who had not votid it for , so long that they had been classed as Populists or Democrats for many years. Others were found to be true-blue Republicans ; doing all in their power for the Republican ticket. Mr. Voris has not yet been called upon to pay $10 for any silver Republican who is really such. ..

RASH ACT OF7 GERMANS THE ZANZIBAR USURPER CARRIED AWAY ON A AVAR VESSEL.. No Attention Paid to-British Protests Serious Complications PossibleOther Foreign News. (Copyright, 1S96, by the Associated Press.) ZANZIBAR, Oct. 2. An incident of great political importance occurred here to-day, resulting in decidedly strained relations between the British and German officials ashore, and which may lead to international complications of a serious nature. After the bombardment of the palace of Zanzibar by the British gunboats Sparrow, Thrush and Raccoon, Seyyid Khalid, who proclaimed himself Sultan on Aug. 25 after the sudden death of ; Seyyid Humid Bin Thwain Bin Said, sought refuge at the German consulate. A demand was made by the British authorities for his surrender, but the German tonsul, acting on the instructions received from his government, refused to place the fugitive in the hands of the British. This caused considerable irritation and has been: the cause of diplomatic correspondence between Great Britain and Germany. The situation took a new turn to-day. An unutally high tide prevailed, and while It was touching the wall of the German consulate Khalid was placed under an escort of armed German sailors on board the German cruiser Seeadler for conveyance, it is, believed, to one of the German colonies. The British consul here, Mr. Basil Cave, in charge of the British agency in the absence of A. II. Hardinge, the British, agent and consulgeneral, who has been to England to consult with the home government regarding the administration of Zanzibar, was not notified of the removal of Khalid to the German war ship until after the usurper was safe on board thei Seeadler. But so soon as he became aware of the action of the German authorities Mr. Cave lodged a vigorous protest at the 'German consulate against the embarkation of Khalid, especially pointing 'out that the question of his surrender to the British authorities was still under discussion by the governments of Great Britain and Germany. Later Mr. Cave cabled a report df the circumstances to his government and. is now awaiting instructions from London. Viewed in the most conservative light, the incident is regarded as being an act of studied discourtesy on the part of the German representatives toward the representatives of Great Britain, and rt-tran hardly fail to call for serious diplomatic, representations. THE SULTAN'S PROMISES. Abdul Humid V ill Abide by All the Pledges in.the rlierltn Treaty. PARIS, Oct. 2. Des. pebats contains an account of ah interview had by a Frenchman with the Sultan at Constantinople on Sunday in whiclv'the latter declared that any civil or military officer convicted of failing to do his ;duty during the recent massacres in Constantinople would be punished. The Sultan is reported t6 have added that the government would endeavor to introduce reforms gradually and that he would abide by all the pledges contained in the treaty of Berlin, although certain clauses in that treaty favorable to Turkey had purposely been forgotten. The people of Europe, the .Sultan pointed out, were too apt to forget the material diffculties hindering the effect of his good will. His Asiatic empire, .he. added, contained two provinces which were alone ecual in size to France and several of the distant vilayets had scarcely any roads or telegraphs. The different idioms and indosyncrasies of each race in the empire had to be considered. The Sultan strongly emphasized his desire that there should be a great imDrovement in the government and in the empire, and he urged that if progress were slow ' it was due to the Armenians having caused trouble. To Defend the Dardanelles. CONSTANTINOPLE,' Oct. 2. An irade just issued orders the formation of a flotilla of en torpedo beats for the defense of the DardanelIes.Ths' action is the result of the recommendations of General Tchikatchoff, the, Russuiu officer who recently inspected the forts of the Dardanelles. Letters received here fr6m Kharpoot confirm the reports of the recent massacres at F.gin and estimate the n.umber of killed at 2,000. Great excitement has been caused at Galata by the actions of a Turkish officer who paraded the streets brandishing his saber, abusing the Armenians and declaring that they ought) to be killed. Ivory Remanded to .Jail. LONDON, Oct. 2. Edward J. Ivory, alias Edward Bell, the saioon-keeper. of NewYork, and alleged dynamite conspirator, was brought up again to-day on remand at Bow-street Police Court. The Treasury Department not being represented by counsel. Bell's counsel asked to be informed how the case against his client was to be proceeded with. The magistrate said he was unable to furnish the information requested and tlie. prisoner was remanded for a week. Counsel ror the prisoner later said that the charge of conspiracy brought against Beil w-ill be abandoned and that it is possible that a charge of aiding and abetting in a conspiracy will be substituted.

THE THREE CORRESPONDENTS

B"V FK. CONA IN OOVHR. (Copyright, ISM, by SYNOPSIS. Three correspondents of London newspapers, Mortimer, of the Intellisrence; Scott, of the Courier, and Anerley, of the Gazette, are rldins with their servants from the terminus o the military railway in Egypt to the advance army of occupation. They camp in a palm grove near the Nile during the heat of the day. Mortimer and Scott are veteran correspondents. Anerley is a novice. Merryweather, the engineer-in-chief of the railway, rides by to the front en pressing business. PART II. "Nothing serious, I suppose?" said Mortimer, staring after him. "Deuced serious," cried Scott. "The ham and eggs are burned! No it's all rightsaved, and done to a turn! Pull the box up, Anerley. Come on, Mortimer, stow that notebook! The fork is mightier than the pen just at present. What's the matter with you, Anerley?" "I was wondering whether what we have just seen was worth a telegram." "Well, it's for the proprietors to say if it's worth it. Sorbid money considerations are not for us. We must wire about something just to justify our kharki coats and our putties." "But what is there to say?" Mortimer's long austere face broke into a smile over the youngster's innocence. "It's not quite usual in our profession to give each other tips," said he, "However, as my telegram is written. I'vfi no objection to your reading it. You may be sure that I would not show it to you if It were of the slightest importance." - Anerley took up the slip of paper and read: "Merryweather obstacles stop journey confer general stop nature difficulties later stop rumors Dervishes." "This is very condensed," said Anerley, with wrinkled brows. "Condensed!" cried Scott. "Why, it's sinfully garrulous. If my old man got a wire like that his language would crack the lamp shades. I'd cut out half this; for example, I'd have out 'journey,' and 'nature,' and 'rumors.' But my old man would make a ten-line paragraph of it for all that." "How?" ' ' "Well, I'll do it myself just to show you. Lend me that stylo." He scribbled for a minute in his notebook. "It works out somewhat on these lines: " 'Mr. Charles II. : Merryweather, the eminent railway engineer, who is at present engaged in superintending the construction of the line from Sarras to the front, has met with considerable obstacles to the rapid completion of his important task' of course the old man knows who Merryweather is, and what he is about, so the word 'obstacles' would suggest all that to him. 'He has to-day been compelled to make a journey of forty miles to the front in order to confer writh the general upon the steps which are necessary in order to facilitate the work. Further particulars of the exact nature of the difficulties met with will be made public at a later date. All is quiet upon the line of communications, though the usual persistent rumors of the presence of Dervishes in the eastern desert continue to circulate. Our Own Correspondent.' "How's that?" cried Scott, triumphantly, and his white teeth gleamed suddenly through his black beard. "That's the sort of flapdoodle for the dear old public." "Will it interest them?" "Oh, everything interests them. They want to know all about it; and they like to think that there is a man who is getting a hundred a month simply in order to tell it to them." "It's very kind of you to teach me all this." "Well, it is a little unconventional, for after all we are here to score over each other if we can. There are no more eggs, and you must take it out in jam. Of course, as Mortimer sajs, such a telegram as this is of no importance one way or another except to prove to the office that we are in the Soudan, and not at Monte Carlo. But when it comes to serious wrork it must be every man for himself." "Is that quite necessary?" "Why, of course it is." "I should have thought if three men were to combine and to share their news, they would do better than if they were each to act for themselves; and they would have a much pleasanter time of it." ' The two older men sat with their bread and jam in their hands and an expression of genuine disgust upon their faces. "We are not h.ere to have a pleasant time," said Mortimer, with a flash through his glasses. "We are here to do our best for our papers. How can they score over each other if we do not do the same? If we all combine we might as well amalgamate with Reutcr at once." "Why, It would take away the whole glory of the profession," cried Scott. "At present the smartest man gets his stuff first on the wires. What inducement is there to be smart if v.e all share and share alike?" "And at present the man with the best equipment has the best chance," remarked Mortimer, glancing across at the shotsilk polo ponies and the cheap little Syrian grey. "That is the fair reward of foresight and enterprise. Every man for himself, and let the best man win " ''"That's the way to find who the best man is. Look at Chandler. He would never have got his chance if he had not played always off his own bat. You've heard how he pretended to break his leg, sent his fellow-correspondent off for the doctor, and so got a fair start for the telegraph office." "Do you mean to say that was legitimate?" "Everything is legitimate. It's your wits ngainst my wits." "I should eall it dishonorable." "You may call it what you like. Chan dler's paper got the battle and the others didn't. It made Chandler's name." "Or take West'.ake," said Mortimer, cramming the tobacco int) his pipe. "Hi! Abdul, you may have the dishes! Westlake brought his stuff down by pretending to be the gov ernment courier, and uting the relays of government horses. Westlake's paper sold I alf a million." "Is that legitimate also?" asked Anerley, thoughtfully. "Why not?" "Well, it looks a little like horse stealing and lying." "Well, I think I should do a little horse stealing and lying if I could have a rulumn to myself in a London daily. What do you say, Scott?" "Anything short of manslaughter." "And I'm not sure that I'd trust you there." "Well. I don't think I should be guilty of newspaper manslaughter. That 1 regatd as a- distinct breach of professional etiquette. But If any outsider comes between a highly charged cor.-ospor dent and an ek-ctric wire he does it at bis peril. My dear Anerley. I tell you frankly that if you are going to handicap yourself with scruples you may just as well be in Fleet street as in the Soudan. Our life is irregular. Our work has never been systematized. N'o doubt it will be some day. but the time is not yet. Do what yon can and how you can, and be first on the wires that's my advice to you; , and also that when next you come upon a campaign you bring with

AN INCIDENT OF

THE SOUDAN CAMPAIGN A. Coaan Doyle.) you the best horse that money can buy, Mortimer may beat me or I may beat Mor timer, but at least we know that between us we have the fastest ponies in the coun try. We have neglected no chance." "I am not so certain of that," said Mor timer, slowly. "You are aware, of course, that though a horse beats a camel on twen ty miles, a camel beats a horse on thirty." "What! One of these camels?" cried An erley, in astonishment. The two seniors burst out laughing. "No. no; the real high-bred trotter the kind of beast the Dervishes ride when they make their lightning raids." "Faster than a galloping horse?" "Well, it tires a horse down. It goes the same gait all the way, and it wants neither halt nor drink, and it takes rough ground much better than a horse. They used to have long-distance races at Haifa, and the camel always won at thirty." "Still, we need not reproach ourselves. Scott, for we are not very likely to have to carry a thirty-mile message. They will have the field telegraph next week." "Quite so. But at the present mo ment " "I know, my dear chap; but there is no motion of urgency before the house. Load baggies at 5 o'clock; so you have just three hours clear. Any sign of the evening pennies?" Mortimer swept the northern horizon with his binoculars. "Not in sight yet." "They are quite capable of traveling during the heat of the day. Just the sort of thing evening pennies would do. Take care of your match, Anerley. These palm groves go up like a powder magazine if you set them alight. By-Tjy." The two men crawled under their mosquito nets and sank instantly into the easy sleep of those whose lives are spent in the open. Young Anerley stood with his back against a palm tree and his briar between his lips thinking over the advice which he had received. After all. they were the heads of the profession, these men, and it was not for him, the new-comer, to reform their methods. If they served their papers in this fashion, then he must do the same. They had at least been frank and generous in teaching him the rules of the game. If it was good enough for them, it was good enough for him. It was a boiling afternoon and those thin frills of foam round the black glistening necks of the Nile bowlders looked delightfully cool and allurivig. But it would not be safe to bathe for some hours to come. The air shimmered and vibrated over the baking stretch of sand and rock. There was not a breath of wind, and the droning and piping of the insects Inclined one for sleep. Somewhere above a hoopoe was calling. Anerley knocked out his ashes and was turning toward his couch, when his eye caught something moving in the desert to the south. It was a horseman riding towards them as swiftly as the broken ground would permit. A messenger from the army, thought Anerley, and then as he watched the sun suddenly struck the man on the side of the head and his chin flamed Into gold. There could not be two horsemen with beards of such a color. It was Merryweather, the engineer, and he was returning. What on earth was he returning for? He had been so keen to see the general and yet he was coming back with his mission unaccomplished. Was it that his pony was hopelessly.- foundered? It seemed to be moving well. Anerley picked up Mortimer's binoculars and a foam-spattered horse and a weary koorbash-cracking man came cantering up the center of the field. There was nothing in his appearance to explain the myrstery of his return. Then as he watched them they dipped down into a hollow und disappeared. He could see that it was one of those narrow khors which led to the river, and he waited, glass in hand, for their immediate reappearance. But minute passed after minute, and there was no sign of them. That narrow gully appeared to have swallowed them up. And then with a curious gulp and start he saw a little gray cloud wreathe itself slowly from among the rocks and drift in a long, hazy shred over the desert. In an instant he had torn Scott and Mortimer from their slumbers. "Get up, you crjaps!" he cried. "I believe Merryweather has been shot by Dervishes." ' (To be Continued in Monday's Journal.)
