LATEST DISPATCHES.

COLOROW CORNERED. The Ute Chieftain with Two Hundred of His Followers Surrounded. A Denver special -of Friday says: u Gov. Adams, Congressman Symmes, Attorney General Marsh and W. N. Byers left Denver last night for Glenwood Springs. This was in response to telegrams received today from Gen. Reardou stating that Colorow wanted a conference with the big white chief of the State. Major Leslie, with cavalry troops, is reported in official dispatches to hare 'corraled' Colorow and two hundred backs, and the old chief, it is said, refuses to confer with the cowboys or State troops. Adjutant General West, the County Commissioner, and others are now en route to Glenwood Springs from Meeker to meet the Governor, whom General Beardou telegraphed to come immediately, even if it required a special tra n, as an emergency had arisen wherein the Governor's presence was at once needed. Notwithstanding all this talk of a peace conference, there are still very warlike rumors from the scene of Indian troubles." IRELAND'S WRONGS. Mr. Gladstone in Defense of the Oppressed People of the Emerald Isle. In the British House of Commons Mr. Gladstone spoke at length in support of the resolution for an address to her Majesty praying the withdrawal of the proclamation against the Irish League. The grand old man declared that no information had been laid before Parliament which justified it in assenting to the proclamation, and characterized the action of the government as "a near approach to a declaration of war upon the Irish people." He also asserted that English public opinion was against the government's Irish policy. Hr. Balfour replied to his speech, maintaining that there were abundant grounds for the suppression of the league within the knowledge of alL The National Game. The record of games won and lost by the teams of the National Base -Ball League is as follows: PercentClubs. Won.

Ax emigrant train collided with a freight train on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, twenty miles from Wheeling, the engineer and fireman of the former being killed, and seventeen other persons, fifteen of them emigrants, seriously injured. A Claim Agent In Trouble. COI. ATiIiFX BUTHERFOBD, ft Wellknown pension-claim agent, was arrested in Washington on a charge of bribing a clerk in the Pension Office and taking records and files from that office. Minor Telegrams. M. J. Lobmobe & Co., wholesale grocers, of Elmira, N. Y., have failed, with liabilities of $80,000. National bank depositories now hold over $20,000,000 in Government funds the greatest amount ever held by the depositories at one time. Taganrog and Bostoff have been annexed to the Don Cossack district and the Jews ordered to leave. Many of them will emigrate to America. Fbazieb and Stewart, who have been sent by the Dominion Government on an observation tour through the Northwest territory, report that shocking destitution prevailed at Fort Chippenyan and along the Mackenzie Biver last winter. Many persons died of starvation, and cannibalism was resorted to to some extent. The Governor of Illinois has been notified by the Kansas authorities that the quarantine against all Illinois cattle, excepting Cook County, has been raised, and they will be received without health certificates. Colorado Ohio, Wisconsin, and Minnesota have also revoked the quarantine proclamation Hznhy 8. Ives, the late "Napoleon of finance, appears to have been guilty of enough criminality during his meteoric career "in the street" to entitle him to several thousand years in the penitentiary. It just transpires that the books of the Dayton. Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway, of which he had control, are missing, and that h 9 hypothecated 1,250,00.) of its bonds, which had been ordered to be retired.

EAST. A Boston dispatch announces the death of A Ivan Clark, who had a world-wide reputation as a practical astronomer and manufacturer of telescopes. His age was 89 years and 6 months. Through his efforts he has given to the world 'the largest and most powerful astronomical instruments ever made. Processor Bpkncer F. Bajbd, of the Totted States Fish Commission, died at Wood's Holl, Mass., aged 64 years. When be was only 23 years of age, he was fteffoi Professor of Natural Sciences in

Dickinson College. He removed to Washington in 1850, and became Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, ut the head of which was then the late Professor Henry. This position Professor Kaird held until May, 1878, when, upon the death of Professor Henry, he was elected Secretary and Manager of the Institution. WEST. Akotheb outrage by the "White Cap" organization of Crawford County, Ind., has just been committed, says an Indianapolis telegram: 1 his time the victim is a ludy teacher, who nan been a resident of the county for years, and nuriny the time has held ninny positions in the high fl'chools of Southern Iudituia. The lady is s. widow named Wilson, and something of a society belle in the community. Among the pupils who attended her school last term -was a lad named William Strong, and he appears to have become something of a favorite with the teacher ; bo much so, in fact, that the other pupils became jealous of him. Being naturally bright, be advanced more rapidly than his fellow-pupils, and this also leti to increased jealousy. The idle talk which originated in the school-room was repeated at home, and the lady has received a xioremptory order to leave the country at once. In the notice she received from the W hite Caps thev accuse her of trying to awaken the love of the yoiit's, knowing that he will come into possession of a handsome property when he is of age. Atchison, Kan., was visited by a terrific hailstorm, and between $4,000 and $5,000 damage was done. Car windows were smashed, as were also church and store windows. Authentic reports are extant of another big scheme, at the back of which is the Minnesota and Northwestern Bailroad Company, says a St. Paul dispatch. It is well known that the road is surveying n new line to Duluth, and that nest year a double track road will be built. On this line, according to reports, another suburb of St. Paul is to be built, much on the same plan as that of St. Paul. A dispatch from Gardner, 111., says: "Miss Sarah H. Dodge, the alleged slayer of Walter S. Babcock, the Chicago lumber merchant, waived a hearing and was admitted to bail in the sum of $10,000. The willingness of State's Attorney Carter to accept $10,000 bail is construed as a tacit admission that he does not believe Miss Dodge will be convicted of the murder by the court, and that the cage will never get further than the Grand Jury. Mr. Carter admitted as much. He said: 'It will be difficult to convict Miss Dodge, I fear. Babcock's friends will not prosecute her, but want to let the matter drop. He refused to make nny statement against her. She can claim the shooting was in 6elf-defense or accidental, and there is no way of successfully contradicting her.' The true cause of the death of BabcocK will never be known to the public unless Miss Dodge chooses to reveal it. There is nc reason why she should, and every reason why she should not. " ' A mass convention of citizens of Illinois in the interest of the project for a ship canal from tha Mississippi River to the lake:? has been called to meet at Peoria, Oct. G.

SOUTH. - The census of Knoxville, Tenn., shows tho population to be 36,707. Six men were indicted at Woodstock, Va.s for taking Senator Biddleberger from jail, and the Deputy Sheriff who delivered the keys to them has also been indicted. The defalcations of Norman Roberts. the absconding Baltimore banker, reach nearly half a million dollars, of which almost $400,000 was stolen from the Loniain heirs. Charles Bartlett, cashier of the Sumter (South Carolina) National Bank, has absconded with all the bank's funds. His books 6 how a shortage of $20,000. The bank has closed its doors. Bartlett is supposed to be in Mexico. His downfall is attributed to speculation. It is stated the loss of the rice crop of South Carolina by the recent freshet will exceed $100,000. Many planters have been ruined by the floods and the question of what to do with the negroes on their plantations is a serious one. A special from Hinton, W. Va., brings the rueful story from McDowell County that everybody there is down again with a dreadful disease that becomes epidemic over a very severe drought. It is stated 200 persons have died in consequence during the last four weeks. The people have suspended all business and are devoting themselves wholly to caring for the sick and burying the dead.

WASHINGTON.

Ii is stated in a Washington dispatch that a movement is being made all along the line in Grand Army circles to have the ex-, isting system of pension payments changed 6asto have them made monthly instead of quarterly. The argument in favor of this change is based upon the assumption that it would be more convenient for the pensioners to receive4 their money from the Government as their monthly bills become due. The pensioner who receives $8 a month and lives in rooms or in a house rented for tnat sum would gladly devote it to payment on that account, as a matter of convenience to himself as well as to other parties interested. Those, who receive larger or smaller pensions, depending upon that certain income for the defraying of certain expenses, would also be better accommodated than by the pres-' ent system. This argument seems to be accepted by the G. A. R. posts the country over, and thy probability is a petition, founded upon it will be in readiness to be1 presented to the Fiftieth Congress next December. The Register and Receiver of the United States Land Office at Prescott, Ari., have been instructed to open for settlement the lands in their district hitherto withdrawn for indemnity purposes under the Atlantic and Pacific grant.

POLITICS.

The socialists' meeting to express disapproval of the nominees of the United Labor Convention at Syracuse was a disorderly affair, says a New York telegram. In his opening remarks Chairman O'Neill began to denounce Henry George, when he was interrupted by hisses from a large number of those not in sympathy with the object of the meeting. The confusion was so great that O'Neill brought his remarks to a close. William Penn Rogers then began to speak, but his first reference to Henry George provoked a storm of applause and hisses, during which those on ttie platform defiantly waved red flags. He also abrupt' closed and was followed by Editor Scnevitch, of the Volks Zeitung, who was listened to with tolerable patience, although at one time proceedings were interrupted by a ficht in the: rear portion of the hali. Resolutions were adopted denouncing Henry George and declaring him to bo a "boss" A call has been issued by tho

Executive Committee of the "American party" for a convention, to be held at Philadelphia Sept. 1; and 17, for the purpose of perfecting the organization. Among the dotined objects of the movement aie the restriction of immigration, a thorough revision of the naturalization laws, the snppret-Rion of polygamy and intemperance, the promotion of tue free-school system, ami an equitable solution of the labor problem. JWr. Powderlj' writes a letter denying that he is identified with tho movement or in sympathy with its aims. The Iowa Republican Convention, which was held at Des Moines Aug. 21, heartily cheered every allusion to Blaine and Allison. Governor Lavrabee and Lieutenant Governor Hull were renom uated by acclamat on. George S. Robinson was nominated for Supreme Judge on the fifth ballot, and Henry Sabiu for Superintendent of Public Instruction on the third ballot. The platform embraces twe.ve resolutions. The suppression of the black vote in the South is viewed w th alarm; the protective tariff and civil-sen ice reform are approved; tho Cleveland administration is denounced; the interstate commerce not; is indorsed and anti-monopoly legislation in the State demanded; a liberal pension policy is favored, prohibition stoutly tipheld; the usual message of sympathy extended to Gladstone and Parnell, and Governor Larrabee's administration eo;aim ended, Lewis E. McComas presided over tho Maryland Republican Convention, which met at Baltimore August 2i. Tno following ticket was nominated: For Governor, Waller B. Brook6, of Baltimore; for Comptroller, R. B. Dixon, of Talbot County; for Attorney General, Francis Miller, of Montgomery County. The platform arraigns the President for not calling to account Federal officers M ho have disregarded his instructions regarding active participation in politics, which alleged shortcoming on his part is held to be a confession that his civil-service reform utterances are insiacere. LABOR.

CHEATED THE GALLOWS UPON THE BALL FIELD,

The International Stove-molders Union will demand an increase of wages varying from 10 to 15 per cent, all over the United States and Canada. Two weeks will be given the bosses to rrakc up their minds to grant the increase, and if Hhey will not; do so a strike will be ordered. If at the ar.d of the first week ot the strike the increase is not accorded 5 per cent, (additional ij to be asked. GENERAL."

The reports of a famine in Northern Newfoundland are confirmed. A Quebec dispatch says: A resident at Shigawke, JBonavonture County, says he is in receipt of news from the north west coast of Newfoundland witn regard to the cod fishery there, which has always been good, hut the present year has been an exception to this rule, and the fisheries are a total failure so far, and even at tho present time many families are in a stato of more than. Bi-mi-starvfction. To make matters still worse these fisheries in the spring also proved a failure. There is one small island on the coast upon which reside eight or ten families Ir. former years it was by no lnenns uncommon, for the families to have at this time of year as many as L'OO quintals of fish apiece ; now they have not half that quantity among them all. No one who observes the state of affairs in Newfoundland as they at present exist but is convinced of their extreme gravity. A St. Louis special says definite information has been received that President and Mrs. Cleveland and accompanying party will arrive in that city on the evening

of Oct. 1, but the President will see nobody that evening except a reception committee that will meet him at the depot. The party will remain in St, Louis until the eveuuig of the oth, when they will leave for Chicago. The President will go to Philadelphia on the 17th of September to attend the centennial constitutional celebration He will probably be accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland. A monopoly known as the Union Strawboard Company has been formed, and several mills have been shut down in consequence. The Supreme Council of the American Legion of Honor has just held its biennial convention in Washington. The Supreme Council consists of forty-Bix delegates, representing a total niembership of 62,000, Tho order is carrying a benefit insurance of $183,000,000, and has collected and pr,id in the course of the last two years about $4,000,000. Several amendments to the constitution were adopted, to go into effect Dec. 1, among them a piovision" that hereafter no person aged over 50 can become a beneficiary member of the order, and that each member, as soon as initiated, becomes a contributor to the benefit fund. There were eighteen assessments called during the year ending June 30, 18: G, and twenty-one during the year ending June 30, 1887. The average death-rate was 1,074.

How Bill Langley, of Texas, Is Said to Have Bsen Hanged Years Ago and StU Lives.

Fort Worth (Texas) special.! rmnpbell Langley, father of tho onco notorious and not yet forgotten Bill Langley, removed? to Bell County, Texas, from near Lexington, lee County, Texas, twelve ye.irs ngo. I'uring his residence in Lee and Bell counties he has been known a-i a well-to-do farraor and an upright citizen. Cam pell Langley to-day tola a story to some of the leading citizens which, but for his veil-known Christian character, would bo put down ns wildcat fiction. He Bays that his son, Bill Langley, who was pubLcly hanged twe' ve years ago in iid dings, Lee Couuty, iy Sheriff Jim Brown, in ti.e presence of sevt-ral thousand people, was not hint at all, but was allowed to es cape. i he father says when the Supreme Court ami tho Governor refused to intervene in Bill's behalf a rich uncle in California came to the rese with 44,000, with which he worked upon the sympathy of the sheriff charged with the exec ution of the sentence; that tho fr en !s of Bill were permitted to arrange things so that when the drop fell the weight of the bedy fell upon the iron hoop supported by an appropriate body harness in such a way that he escaped physically unhurt. When he kad drawn bis legs up and down two or three times the attending physicians pronounced him dead, and he was turned over to his friends for interment. The cotrin, which was actually buried, contained nothing but stones. While the last sad riles wer being pronounced, Bill Langley was well on his way out of the country. Ho has been living since his supposed execution in Nicaragua, where he has become a leading citizen and one of the largest land and cattle herders in Central America. Those who know Campbell Langley do not hesitate to believe his story, which he now makes ptiblic only because Sheriff Brown, who officiated at the supposed execution, died in Lee Couuty last; week. RIGHTS OF BALL-PL lYEItS.

A Movement to Prevent tho Buying and SeMng of Them. Boston dispatch. Now that all other labor troubles are settled, or in process of settlement, the baseball players are coming forward and demanding that their claims be Sfttisfied. With them it is not a question of pay or hours of work, but simply an abolishment or amendment of the present methods by which they are bought and sold as completely as were ever black slaves before the emancipation proclamation. There is at present a base-ball union, called the Brotheihood of League Base-Ball Players, of which Ward, of Xew York, is President, and before next week is out the brotherhood will have informed the League managers fully of what it intends to demand, and the presumption is that most of its demands will be satisfied. There is as yet no talk of strikes or lockouts, and it is hoped that the settlement will be an amicable one, for it is felt on all sides that if the brotherhood should take the bit in its teeth the disruption of the National League would be the result. The brotherhood is weaker in Chicago than other cities, only Williamson, Pfeifer and Flint being members, but the Chicago club has to stand or fall with the Leagie, and if it is broken in New York, Detroit, Boston and Philadelphia President Hpal.dirg will find his occupation gone. Just as surely, also, if it comes no a tight, the sympathy of the public will be with the ballplayers. THE NEW ULM MASSACRE.

Celebration of tho Twenty-fifth Anniversary of thit Battle. New TJlm (Minn. I telegram. Tuesday was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the battle of New Uka, and the city gave aright royal welcome to the surviving defenders who, a quarter of a century ago, risked their lives in her defense. It was at a time when the drafts upon Minnesota for the civil war had taken away many of her able-bodied citizens, leaving comparatively few to defend the firesides. The Indians seized this opportunity, and then followed the great Sioux massacre, the most saagn nary conflict of which, was the battle of New Ulm. But Colonel Charles Flandrau, now of St. Paul, and a few well-armed men came from St. Peter and the town was saved. Numbers of the old defenders were at New Ulm from Mankc.to, St. Paul, La Sueur, St. Peter, and other cities. All the streets were gayly decorated.

A Woman Office-holder. Miss Minna P. Pollock is the first lady ever appointed Commissioner of Deeds :in New York City. She is the daughter of Juhus L. Pollock, of Hamburg, Germany, and Mrs. Elliot Hasweli Pollock, of Glasgow, Scotland. Miss Pollock was born at

She received her education at Glasgow and in England, completing it in Vienna, AustriaShe is a lady of wide travel and experience. There is a curious law in vogue in Switzerland, which compels every newly married couple to plant trees shortly after the marriage ceremony.

How the Clubs Stand for the Eighteenth Week of the League Pennant Pace

Chicagos Great Games with Detroit Becords of League Pitchers and Catchers.

CHICAGO COflKESPONDENCB. The close of the e ighteenth week of the League pennant race for 1887 finds the Western clubs doing battle upon Eastern grounds with their Eastern rivals. The Detroit team still leads the League clubs in the race, end the Philadelphia team by splendid work has passed Mike Kelly's men in the struggle for front place and is now close upon the heels of the New York giants lor third place It would su rprise no one to see the Phillies in thiri plae and leading both New York and Boston before another week passes. The Chicago team closed its third home season last week upon the Chicago grounds in tho tinal games of the series begun on Saturday, the 13th inst., with Detroit, and it is needless to say that these games will exist for many a day to ccme in the recol-

j lection of all who witnessed them. In ! team work, in brilliancy of fielding, in

wonderrul spurts of batting, in base-running, in splendid pitching, in individual and collective playing, the work of these two teams was sorretbing which the most gifted pen could but faintly outline, however greatly iuspiied. Each game watf a battle of the giants from first to last, and in attempting to give just credit to those ot the players who mo'st deserve it one is puzzled where 1o begin. With but little hesitation, however, it can safely be said that of the twenty or more players who participated in the three game?, none did nobler work than did John Clarkson. Starting in upor. Saturday, he gave Guch an exhibition of pitching skill as is 6eliom seen. Not only did he show himself master of the ball from the pitcher's standpoint, but without exaggeration it may be said that if it is possible for one man to win a ball game, Clarkson accomplished the feat in the first game of the series with Detroit. In his delivery tipon that day he seemed bent upon showing the 13,000 people present every strategy and peculiarity known in the science of modern pitching, and being familiar, through careful and systematic study, with the battinsr peculiarities of every Detroit batsman who faced him, he was wonderfully effective. It may safely be said, brilliant ai; his record has been, that Clarkson never covered his position in such splendid form. He pulled down and stopped ball from the bat that many a man upon the lines of the diamond would have hesitated before, and with the bat in his hands he was a tower of strength to his team. He went m again Monday and pitched another winning game, making almost as brilliant a record as upon tto Saturday before. . He went in again on Tuesday, and although he pitched n great game for Chicago, Detroit won by a lucky stroke of batting and some reiilly wonderful work in tho field. To show how determined Detroit was to win the th rd and last game of the series, a little piece of strategy upon the part of Getzeux and Bennett the Detroit battery may be cited. It was full of risk, and might have lost them the ame; but, fortunatelyfor Detroit, it was successfully accomplished, and saved the game to them. It was in the eighth inning, with Pfeffer upon second base and Sullivan upon third, when Williamson came to bat. Three strikes had been oalled upon Ed, who throughout the game seemed wholly unable to gauge "Pretzel's" delivery. When just as he was almost in the act of sending the ball over the plate again, Getz stopped and called Bennett down the path toward him. The two conversed for ten seconds in low tones, Getzein the while glancing toward Sullivan on third. Then they separated, and Getzeic, stepping back into the box, sent a ball over the plate on a line with Williamson's head. The next ball Was to one side of the plate and low down, with but little speed Nevertheless, it struck Bennett's hand squarely, bouuded off about ten feet to one side uhe result of an intentional muff), and Sullivan started in from third. Getz jumped toward the plate almost at the same moment the ball left his hand, and received the bill from Bennett, who captured it with a siagle bound, easily putting Sullivan out at the home base. TLen the Detroiters started in for their bench and the White Stockings went to the field. The nature of Bennett and Getzein's little consultation dawned upon tho spectators, and a roar of ming:ed laugLs and cheers went up from the ln crowd. S lice Chicago's departure for the East it

has not played the ball expected of it. Of the four games commenced with Pittsburgh, one was postponed by rain with the Pitts'jurghs in the lead when game was called, two were won by Pittsburgh and one by Chicago. Detroit is playing much too strong a game juat now for Chicago to let down in its speed, even a little bit.
