LATEST DISPATCHES.

TOLD BY THE BLOOD. lie Franco-German Frontier Shooting Af&Ir Growing More Serious. It is aexm-ofScially announced that M. Fkrarens, French Minister of Foreign Aflairo, in conversing with Count Yon Jf unater, the German Ambassador, on the ubject of the frontier shooting incident, Sainted out, first, that not a single stain of lood had been found on German soil; second, that Kaufmann, after firing fled, flhowing that he was conscious of imving committed an illegal act. The French official inquiry, therefore, argued Flourens, proved that the German agent knowingly committed an offense. Count von Ifunster replied that as the German inquiry jbad not been concluded he could give no pledge as to what would be done. The French Government will insist upon the punishment of Kaufmann, the question of indemnity being of second importance. The Procurator of Nancy will meet tho German law officers at the scene of the incident for the purpose of making a joint aauunination. M. Lebigne, a banker at Nancy, who is the lessee of the ground where the shooting occurred, and who was one of the party of sportsmen, says the party did not cross the frontier line. After the shooting," he says, "we found blood-pools on French soil. I requested a sergeant of gendarmes to mark a tree at the spot. I swear that neither challenge tor cry was addressed to us. Had the Germans uttered a sound we must have heard them." TENNESSEE'S CLOSE VOTE. The Prohibition! and Antls Set Up Claims t of Having Achieved a Triumph. A special from Memphis, Tenn., says: Be turns so far indicate that the prohibiJtkm amendment was defeated in the Stale, Thursday, by a rery small majority. Tho nti- Prohibitionists carried this city by a majority of 4,232 out of a total vote of 9,010. County district returns are coming an slowly, but Shelby County will give about .000 majority against the amendment La jdies worked for the amendment at all the voting precincts in the city. The indications are that the Tote on the adoption of the prohibition amendment will be close. East Tennessee s claimed to hate given a Prohibition majority of 10,000. This is tnsed on private dispatches to Prohibitionists. Davidson County will giro an antimajority of nearly 2,000." DEATH ON THE RAH Aceraton and Express Trains Collide-Many People Killed m Tblegbam from St Louis: u A terrible incident occurred at 12:15 this morning on Ike Missouri Pacific Bailway at Valley Park station, nineteen miles from this city. An excursion train, hich left here at 11 o'clock loaded with excursionists, who had been to the city to see the trades pageant, was standing at the station when express train No. 43 ran into the rear end, causing a fearful disaster. The locomotive went -crashing through two chair cars, killing a large number of people. The wreck took fire at once. The flames communicated to the depot and it was burned to the ground. The train is still burning and it is im.poasible to learn how many are killed." The National Game.

EAST. The decision in the Jacob Sharp case

affirmed .it New York, and the prisoner

wriD be sent to Sing Sing at once. It is probable, however, that the ease will be taken to the Court of Appeals. The Scotch cutter Thistle and the American sloop Volunteer have met in the first 1887 contest for the America's cup, says a Kew York special of Wednesday, and the Volunteer beat the foreigner so badly that 4ke hitter's most enthusiastic champions have only to say that something inexplicable is the matter with the Thistle. It was a

great day. The people who went down on the three hundred Steamships, river steamboats, tugs, steam-yachts, sailing yachts, and boats improvised for the occasion, numbered easily fifty thousand, and the scene presented by the heterogeneous mass of craft before, nt, and after the start cannot be described. They covered an area of fifty or more acres on the water, and they kept up a noise throughout the race that startled the people who came from Europe to see the event. The result was a most decisive victory for the American sloop. Beating,, stretching, and running with free sheets the Volunteer outsailed the Thistle. The total distance was thirty-eight; statute miles. Everywhere, except on the run with spinnakers, where the excuruion-boats did so much to keep the wind from her, the Volunteer outsailed her antagonist.

After the race Mr. James Bell, principal owner of the Thistle, said he was not at all satislted with the result The Thistle, he declared, had never moved so slowly through the water. He was of the opinion that there was "something wrong with the cutter's bottom." Appended is a description of the two yachts; VOUWEEE.

Pryor, and the three lawyers who are interested in the case went carefully over the evidence and made notes of the various points that they wished to raise in presenting the appeal for a writ of error teore a Justice of the Federal Court. (Jen. Pryor, too, wanted to familiarize himself with the evidence that had been presented." Up to Monday last three of the patients of the cholera-stricken steamship Alesia, in quarantine at New York, had died. Twenty-three of the passengers were very ill. The failure is announced of the Enterprise Browing Company, of Philadelphia, with $350,000 assets and $203,000 liabilities. The suit of the United States against the Bell Telephone Company for the cancellation of two patents granted to Bell, was dismissed by United States Judge Colt at Boston. Abticles have been filed at Harrisburg, Pa., consolidating the New York, Chicago and St. Louis and the Fort Wayne and Illinois Railways, the new corporation to be known as the New York, Chicago and St. LouiB Railroad Company. Daniel W. Caldwell is President, and tho capital stock is $30,000,000.

WEST.

The major portion of the Indians on the Ban Carlos Reservation have gone on the warpath. Oscab Neebe, the anarchist, has been put to work in the harness-shop at the Joliet Penitentiary. His convict number is 8373. The National Association of ex-Prisoners of War has just concluded its Chicago meeting. A report from the Committee on Pensions, recommending the passage of a bill giving all ex-prisoners of war $2 for each day they were in captivity, and placing them on the pension rolls at rates proportioned to the length of their confinement, was unanimously adopted. A resolution was also passed declaring that the captured rebel flags should be held sacred by the National Government, and displayed in some public place, at; provided by le w. General W. H. Powell was elected President for the ensuing year. The nest annual meeting will be held at Indianapolis. Mbs. Lucy E. P arsons, wife of A. R. Parsons, one of the condemned anarchists, was arrested at Chicago for distributing handbills contrary to a cj'j ain&nce on that subject. The ordinance reads: No person or persons shall distribute, cast, throw, or place in, upon, or along any of the streets, alleys, or public places of the city of Chicago any handbills, pamphlets, circulars, boots, or advertisements for the purpose or with the intent of advertising or making known in a general or promiscuous manner any business, occupation, profession, medical treatment, medicine, or anything whatsoever, under a penalty of not less than $3 and not more than tflo for each and every offense. Prom Mrs Parsons' actions previous to and after her arrest it was evident that it was her intention to be arrested. Officer Ward of the Central Station, saw her at work and requested her to stop, informing her that there was an ordinance prohibiting the distribution of circulars on the streets, but she paid no attention to his admonition Three times he told her to stop, saying he would be obliged to arrest her if she did not, but she made no answer to him and paid no heed to his warning. When he finally did put her under arrest she betrayed no surprise. To every one she met on die way to the City Hall she gave one, saying: "I am arrested for distributing A. B. Parsons' letter," evidently hoping thereby to create sympathy, but she failed. She remained in a cell at the Armory until Mr. Bielefield of the Arbeiter-Zeilung appeared and made a $25 deposit to secure her attendance in court. She was then teleased. During her stop at the station she had nothing to say. Tucson, in Arizona, is beginning to boom the next Indian war. Mr. W. B. Horton was killed the other day by an Apache scorn; the bystanders pursued and killed the savage, and the report adds, "but this will not end the matter. The citizens will take tbe matter in their own hands and kill Indians on sight," if the Govornment does not interfere. Later reports say several bands of savages have taken to the war path." A Chicago dispatch of Tuesday says: "Oscar Neebe, one of tbe convicted anarchists, was tasen to Joliet at 9 o'clock last evening, and landed in the penitentiary at 10:30 o'clock.. This sudden move in Keebo's case was decided on yesterday when the order of the Supreme Court arrived. It was deemed best to send Neebe to Joilet as quickly and quietly as possible. The actual returns on the petition for clemency to the condemned anarchists, as far as they have been turned into the secretary of the Amnesty Association, show about fifteen thousand signatures. On the list for preachers are the names of two prominent Jewish divines." Associated Press advices from Santa

Fe are to the effect that there has been no outbreak of Apache Indians in Arizona, and that all is quiet upon the southwestern reservation. The Farmers9 Revie,w9 of Chicago, estimates that the total corn crop of the country this season will be but 1,310,000,000 bushels. The Price Current of Cincinnati estimates that the corn crop this year will be 1,510,000,000 bushels, against 1,665,000,000 bushels in 1886 a shortage of lfV 000,000. Chicago special: "dipt. Black, who returned from New York yesterday, visited his anarchistic clients iu the jail and 8.8sured them that Gen. Itoger A. Pryor as sanguine the United States Supreme Court would grant a writ o,f error in their ewe. He is also going to bring Oscar Neebe back from Joliet."

SOUTH. Texas fever has again broke out amopg cattle at Tekamoh, Neb., where it is alleged the infection has been communicated by native stock, and not by Texans. Dispatches from Texas report a serious race war in Matagorda County. Militia had been ordered to the scene of the disturbance, and bloodshed was anticipated. A telegram from Columbia (Texas) says: 'Tour negroes were killed in the fight between the mob of blacks and Capt, Bate's white posse, in Matagorda Comity. Burton Hawkins, one of the lenders of 'tho negroes, is a&ong the dead. It is not known how many were wounded. The whites lost two horses. The report that the trouble arose over the death of Jerry Massena, a colored Constable, who started out to arrest a white planter named Sanborn, is confirmed. Several hundred aegroes congregated, bent upon killing S inborn and his friends. After the fight the negroes dispersed for the time being, out further trouble is anticipated."

WASHINGTON. Commissioner Miller, in an interview at Washington, is reported as eayine: It is true that we intend to have the beer now being sold throughout tne country tes ted to ascertain its purity or impurity. We bavo an excellent chemist, and he is getting re ady to make the tests. Oh, no, we shall not sail upon the breweries respectively for samples, we will purchase samples ot the retail dealers, and will label each one distinctly. In that way we will get the beer (ust as it is on the market. Of course we will not undertake to analyze saxuplat of all the breweries in the country at once. We will purchase samples here and there throughout the country, and they will be sent here. The chemisb can perhaps analyze forty different samples in a day. The vork will be prosecuted from time to time. As there will be no system for procuring the beer, no brewer will be able to tell when his product will be examined. By these official tests tbe purity of the beer put on the market trill be determined. So much has been published of late in regard to the adulteration of beer that it is deemed necessary to make these official tests for the protection of the public. Tbe result of the analysis will be made public. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue denies the story, telegraphed from Wellington the other day, that he intended to have the beer made at; all the brewerieii in the country analyzed, in order to ascertain how far adulteration with poisonous sab stances is practiced. The (Commissioner thinks he has nothing t o do with the quality of the swill, if the taxes upon its msnufacture ore regularly paid. M. A. Dillon, of Washington, D. C, was elected Commander-in- Chief of the National Command of the Union Yeteians' Union.

POLITICS. The New York State Democratic Convention nominated Frederick Cook for Secretary of State, Lawrence J. Fitzgerald for State Treasurer, Charles E. Tabor for Attorney General, and Edward Wemplo for Comptroller, The resolutions demand that Federal taxation be reduced $100,000,000 a year, and that hundreds of articles be placed on the free list. They oppose sumptuary laws, as interfering with personal liberties, and indorse the administrations of Governor Hill and President Cleveland. Irving Hall was refused representation in the convention, the New York City seats being divided evenly between Tammany Hall and the Co inty Democracy. Gov, Oliver Ames was renominated by the Republicans of Massachusetts. The platform favors a protective tariff, the reduction of internal revenue taxation, an honest ballot and a fair count, the maintenance of the present civil-service Law, the submission of a prohibitory amendment, the cessation of the compul sory coinage of silver, tho passage of a national bankrupt law, and protection of fishery interests without yielding any international rights. RAILWAYS. Gen. G. M. Dodge told the Pacific Railway Commission at New York that the Union Pacific cost three times as mush as it would have done had not the Government insisted upon rushing the work. He also declared that the company could have paid its debt to the Government if Congress had not interfered with its busic ess. Under the order restoring to settlement the indemnity lands of the Northern Pacific Railroad, from Si5,000 to 30,000 acres will be open for entry in Otter Tail; and Douglas Counties, Minnesota, on the let of December, at the Fergus Falls Land Office.

GENERAL. Thebe will be held in Washington, beginning Dec. 7, a meeting of the Evangelical Alliance of tho United States. A Montreal telegram reports that an application of Mr. MacMaster, Q. C, to appear as counsel for McGarigle wui rejected by Jude Baby 'in the Court of Queen's Bench, on tha ground that it was against the procedure of the court to allow defendants to be represented by counsel until they have personally appeared themselves and pleaded to tbe indictment. MacMaster then moved to have his application entered in the records of the case. This was also rejected. There is such a heavy demand throughout the country for cents, nickel, and dimes that the mint is unable to supply the same. FOREIGN. John Morley, speaking at Newcastle, repudiated the notion that there was any split between himself and the Gladstone party. As long as Mr. Gladstone adhered to the cause of freedom and justice, so long would he support him. Consul Jeknigan atOsaki andOliago,

Japan, in a report to the Secretary of jjtate !

upon railroads and railway regulations In Japan, states that no less than thirty-four new railway projects hae been sturted within the J ast six months, twenty-one of which involve an aggregate capital of 48,000,000. The existing roads have all been surveyed and constructed by foreigners, but the list contains the names of no Americans, nor clo American mechanics or engineers appear to have any connection with the new projects, John Bright, in a letter approving the action of the Northwestern Miners Association in refusing longer to subscribe to ward the payment of salaries to the repre sentativea of tLeir districts in the House of Commons, says he doos not favor the payment of salaries to members, because he does not wish that Parliamentary life should be made a trade. A Dublin dispatch says that several collisions took place at Fermoy on Monday between the police and the populace. The latter were the aggressors, and when the trouble began the officers drew their swords. Some clergymen then induced the people to disperse, but subsequently the crwd made another charge on the police and stoned them, injuting many of the constables. The mob clubbed the police brought from Mitchellstown and showered them with stones, bottles, and missiles of all kinds. Several were disabled. Capt. Flunkett then was sent for and took command, and succeeded in restoring order. The League subsequently met in a private house, where Mr. O'Brien, who had eluded the officers, addressed the members. He declare! it was impossible to suppress the League. It was a simple question in the rule of th rees If it took Plunkett and all his men to suppress one branch of the League, how many Plunketts and armies would be necessary to suppress 1,800 branches? Several League meetings were held in Clare md were unmolested. The shooting of a French officer on the German frontier appears less serious as details are received than it at first seemed, says a cable dispatch from Paris. Following are the particulars of the affair: A party of five sportsmen and four bevrfi were loliowing a path of French territory, seven yards from the frontier, when a person standing behind a clump of tree a oa the (lertnan side, eighty yard a from the frontier, fred three shots at them. The first bullet did not hit anyono, but the second oue killed one of the beaters, and the third severely -wounded a gentleman named Wagner, a pupil at the rlaulnur Cavalry School. The German officials deoltfre that a German soldier named Kaufmmu fired the shot Kaufmann affirms that he shouted three times for the party to halt be:!or) firing at them. He believed that they were ou German territory. The sportsmen declare that tbey heard nothing. MM. Rouvier and Flourens have dispatched a note to Berlin requesting them to interest themselves in the affair und institute an inquiry without delay. The German MiniHter at Paria, in an interview with M. Flourens, expressed deep regret at the occurrence, and assured him that justice would be none. Military and police were present at the eviction of Michael Lane and family from their holdings on Col. Meadow's estate at Limerick on Tuesday. The Lanes ms.de a stubborn resistance, and during the struggle Mrs. Lane split open the skull of Jinspecior Biley, who was directing the work of eviction. Mrs. Lane, her husband, end brother were arrested. It is reported that the ashes of Napoleon I have been stolen and scattered to the winds. Mb. Gladstone, a cable dispatch reports, has a critique in the Nineteenth Century on Ingram's "History of the Irish Union," which, he sys, does not 6how even a rudimentary knowledge of the leading facts of Irish affairs. Gladstone says he himself, after long striving, knows just enough to be aware that his knowledge of it is imperfect, end to have an inkling of the ingratitude and complexity of the task of the Thucydides of i;be Irish union who has not yet mounted above the horizon. Mr. Gladstone then goes on 1o show that the union was brought about two centuries ago by Comwallis by flagrant intimidation and savage repression, and in conclusion he argues that the Irish Parliament was not constitutionally competent to surrender its powers; that the opposition in the country at the time, as shown by a petition of 700,000 IriBhmon, was never invalidated by the subsequent dhange of national opinion. Fbedekick William, the Crown Prince of Germany, is making a tour of the Italian lakes and will probably winter in Gries. The Spanish Government has decided to greatly reduce Cuban duties on necessaries of life and articles used in native in dustries. A German official reporting upon the recent frontier shooting, contends that the French huntsmen were on German soil when the soldier shot at them. The soldier's assertion to this effect is supported by one of the forest guards. It is added that from the density of the woods it was impossible for the soldier to have seen or shot at anybody at the place where the Frenchman's blood ttained the ground, and that he must have crawled from tbe German side of the boundary.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

Tbe Buue-Ball Season Drawing io a Close Detroit and St. Louis the Winners

President Spalding Interviewed Tho Present Season, a Successful One.

CHICAGO COItHEBPONDENCK. The end of the profesiional base-ball season of 1887 is now so near at hand tfeat there is little if any prospect of uny n aterial change in the positions of the leading clubs in either the National League or American Association as they stand at this time. Up to the closing days of hist week Chicago had some cbance for beating the heavy-hitting Detroit team out in the race a slim chance, it is true, but still a chance, for all that. The result of the Boston series, however, has made it well nigh impossible, or at least improbable, that the White Stockings will finish better than second; and if they do this with Philadelphia and New York playing ball for all they ar worth with but one object in view,, viz.: tfcatof gaining a lead over the White Stockings, Anson's men, after reviewing the obstacles thoy have overcome and the great race they rnn during the early part of I he season, may feel highly gratified at tie record they have made. CHICAGO! coirs. The new playing talent which Chicago has captured during tie past ten clays has been showing up in good form in every game in which it haispirtieipated. Sprague, the young New England pitcher who made his first appearance in a Chkago uniform in the Idbc game at White Stocking park with New York, is now voted a good one by his fellow-players and by the Chicago public, while Tebeau, the young player whom Chicago took from Denver, has shown himseh! to be f. great man with the bat, between bases, and in the field. In the selection of these players Capt. Anson has again shown the excellent judgment he possesses when it comes to estimating the worth of a ball-player. Speaking of Anson, it wi.ll be remembered that the Detroit Clnb ten days ago ottered the Chicago CJub the sum of $10, 000 for the release cf the big first baseman, and that the offer was promptly refused. A reporter dropped into President Spalding's office tbe other day and was informed by Mr. Spalding thaii Detroit's offer had been followed by one from the Pittsburgh Club, that organization offering $15,000 cash for the future services of Anson as a captain, manager, and first-baseman. 'It would look queer to see old Anson playing first-base in the uniform of some other club than Chicago, wouldn't it?" the reporter asked. u Yes," was the reply of the Chicago Club President, "it would look queer, but you will never fiee it, at least so long as 1 am President of the Chicago Club. Anson I regard as the best club manager in the country to-day. Were he to leave us I do not know how I should replace him." "You will not accept Pittsburg's offer, then?" "No, sir. I will not even consider, much less accept it. ' ("Now that the seiison of 1887 is near an end, how do you think it will compare winn other seasoas in point oil attendance, in the grade of ball played, in the conduct and habits of the player3, and in the elass of people wh o have patronized it?" It will compare favorably, veiy favorably, in all the points you mention. I believe that tiie aggregate attendance at the games of the National League alone will exceed that of last year by half a million of people, while as to the close of ou r patronage I do not think a more respectable ele-

which is interested in. and which iii largely

represented at the games in each of the cities in the League circuit Doctors, lawyers, bankers, ministers, and other professional and business men prominent in their communities an) openly admirers of base-ball and aro in the majority, together with their wives and daughters, among the occupants or our grand stands. A very gratifying change from the order of things which existed some yearc ago is seen in the increased number of ladies at the game. Why, I remember when we could almost count upon their fingers the representatives of the fair sex to be seen at a baHi game, but now It is an e very-day occurrence to'see fully one-third or at least one-fourth of the seats in the graad stand of the Chicago Club occupied by ladies. The secret of all this is found in the manner in which tho game is now conducted. As it has become popular, it has broadened in importance until it has now became a great and legitimate business in which hundreds of thousands of dollars are circulated each year. The salary lists of ten clubs will alone aggregate not far from e. quarter of a million of money, and the amount invested in grounds and the improvements thereon, will easily exceed $150,000 more. The players are held under discipline and man agement, which, whilo not so severe, is fully as effective and as productive of as good results as thcit of the army itBelf. I may say upon this point, too tb at system an d discipline are as necessary in base-ball as in the army. By this I do not mean to place our ball-players upon the same intellectual level with the recruits of our army. I would rather compare them wit!! the officers, who understand and realize tee value of discipline, and who not only exercise it toward their subordinates, but apply it to themuelves as well. There are some things that seem a little harsh in the cor tract which at present binds a ball-player to his club, but if such exist, they are more as measures of protection to the club than as provisions

through which injustice or wrong may be indicted upon the men. I do not believe there is a bail-plciyer in the country to-day who ever wore the uniform of the White Stockings who can put his finger upon any instance wherein he has suffered from harsh treatment or injustice at the hands of the Chicago Club. The good effect of good business management and a little discipline may be sen by a glance at the situation to-day compared with that of ten years ago. There i.s now no intemperance among our players. They are all in uplendid physical condition as a result, and able to play ball well worth looking at. There is now none of the nnfDrtunate wrangling upon the field whioh used to bring the game into disrepute in its younger days, while everything works 6moochly and systematically and tbe clubs are in consequence abf.e to offer accommodations to the publio such as would have opened the eyes of the people fifteen years ago. The season has, 1 think, been a good one fim)u eially for every club in the League, while the race has been as close and determined

ir not moro so, than tnat or any previous .
