17, x8 Salvador, has just been discovered in the city of Santa Anna. The chief conspirator is General Maxima Salguero. His crime is all the more unpardonable as be owes his life to the clemency of the brother of the man whom he has plotted to kill. He was convicted by a council of war after the late struggle and sentenced to be shot but was pardoned by President Ezeta. Several arrests have already been made and others are likely to follow.
The method to be employed was poison. A revolutionary movement was discovered and destroyed by the government at Starosa, a town in Honduras. It is supposed to be connected with the plan to assassinate General Ezeta. UYi ABSOLUTELY PURS a much larger absorption of silver by this country than heretofore for currency pur poses; (third) because the new- law declares that it is the established policy of the United States to maintain the two metals at a parity with each other. It seems to me that the act under con sideration is a decided improvement upon the provisions of the act of 1878, which it repeals, in that it furnished a sound currency to meet the growing wants of our coun try, has a tendency to reduce the differ ence in value between the two metals and thus help to restore the equilibrium so much desired." John J.
Knox read the report of the executive committee. The principal matter was the request of the state associatios for representation. G. A. Levi, of Victoria, Texas, and John C.
Russell, of St. Louis, urged a change in the constitution so as to give such representation in order to encourage and assist the state bodies in giving more effective local protection. The matter was finally referred back to tES executive association which first reported adversely in order that it might hear the views of all the state associations and report back next year. The committee on protection was authorized to prepare a plan for protection against and punishment of criminals and a standing committee on schools on finance and economy was also appointed. The treasurer's report showed a balance of $5,375.18 besides a balance of invested by the executive council.
Secretary Green's report 6howed 1,993 members against 2,000 last year, the seventy-four new members being counterbalanced by 141 failures, deaths and resignations. IN OLD FANEUIL HALL. Firct Meeting of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Boston, Nov. 11.
The World's Women Christian Temperance Union held its first meeting in Faneuil Hall this afternoon. Miss Frances Willard opened the meeting, and placed it in charge of Lady Somerset. After the singing of Rock of Ages," by those assembled, Lady Somerset led in prayer, after which she spoke briefly for the cause. The-American women, she said, have led the van in the formation of the World's Women's Christian Temperance Union, and it is to be the lasting shame of England that she has carried intemperance into her Indian colonies, and has fostered the opium traffic. The report of the executive committee, which embodied a constitution and by-laws, was accepted.
A declaration of principles, which has the following for its preamble, was then adopted by the convention: In the love of God and humanity, we, representing the Christian women of the world, band ourselves together with the solemn conviction that our united faith and works will, with God's blessing, prove helpful in creating a strong public sentiment in favor of personal purity of life, includ ing total abstinence from the use of all narcotic poisons, the protection of the home by the outlawing of the traffic in alcoholic liquors, opium, tobacco and impurity, the suppression by law of gambling and Sunday desecration, the enfranchisem*nt by women of all nations and the establishment of courts of national and international arbitration, which 6hall banish war from the World." Miss Bowes, representing the W. C. T. of British Columbia, moved that the World's W. C.
T. U. convention earnestly requests the board of managers of the Columbian exposition to prohibit the sale of intoxicants upon the grounds at any time and to close the exhibition on Lady Henry Somerset moved that the same officers be requested to require purity in the art exhibitions. Both resolutions were adopted by a rising vote. These officers were elected: Miss Francis E.
Willard, president; Lady Henry Somerset, vice-president at large; Anna Gordon, Boston, secretary; Mrs. Williams, Canada, treasurer. FOREST COMMISSION DOINGS. Land Outside the "Blue Line" Sold and Other Land Purchased. Saranac Lake, N.
Nor. 11. The Forest Commission recently sold 4,000 acres of state land in Franklin county, outside of what is known as the blue line." This line is the outside limit for the proposed forest preserve. With the proceeds from this sale the commission purchased 8,000 acres of land within the blue line," in Hamilton county. This land lies in the Moose river tract, north of Lake Pleasant, and near by Spruce and Cedar lakes.
It is better land than that sold, and is in the water shed of the Hudson, while that disposed of was in the Canadian water shed. The commission has offers from parties who desire to purchase between 700 and 800 acres in the northern part of Clinton county. This is a piece of wooded land which is not within twenty-five miles of the state forests. Another piece of land which is desired contains 400 to 500 acres and is situated in Saratoga county, not far from Saratoga Springs. For each of these pieces the Forest Commission hopes to receive money enough to purchase three times as many acres within the forest preserve.
The commission has got through swapping land. It now sells for cash and turns the money over to the controller, who sets it aside, and, when a purchase is made, pays it out as directed. Methodist College Presidents. Cleveland, Nov. 11.
A meeting of the presidents of Methodist colleges for the purposo of forming an association wnsheld at the Hollenden this morning. Dr. W. F. Warren was elected permanent president and Fresident Fiske, of Albion College, secretary.
The College Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church is the name adopted. The association commended the unification and confederation of the Methodist educational societies in this country. A committee was appointed to raise funds to assist students preparing for religious work. A memorial to the General Conference was adopted, calling for a higher standard of scholarship in the Methodist colleges. The Poughkeepsie Bridge.
Foughkeepsie, N. Nov. 11. Application was made to Judge Barnard at New-burg to-day for an order of publication in an action brought by the dissatisfied bondholders of rouglikeepsie Bridge Company, to enforce the foreclosure of a mortgage held by the Fidelity, Insurance Trust and Safe Deposit Company, of Philadelphia, to secure $3,500,000 bonds.

THE BOSTON-NEW YORK GAMES Charges Against the New York Club in Connection With the Double Games Dismissed Liklihood of a Kepi-tition of the Trouble of 1890.
New York, Nov. 11. Base ball has reached a crisis at which only the prompt action of the National League can save the game from disruption. All present indications -point to a repetition in 1802 of the warfare between the League and Brotherhood in 1SU0, which ended so disastrously for both parties. The American Association is now the attacking party, and the vigorous manner in which it has assailed the League's strongholds has caused, widespread consternation in the camp of the ohler body.
The Association has secured many of the League stars, notably in New York and has established a club in Chicago and is completing arrangements for another in this city. Rivil clubs already exist in Boston and Philadelphia aud a prospective split in the Brooklyn directorate, by which the monied man, E. A. Abell, is to step out, has led to the belief that the Association will put a club also in Brooklyn. Experience has taught that there is uot room for two clubs in New York and Brooklyn, and it would seem the rankest folly for the Association to launch the project.
But the Association men are eager for revenge for what they and many others consider arbitrary action by the League, and they seem determined to fight the matter to the bitter end. The national agreement is now a dead letter as between these two organizations and players may jump from one to the other at pleasure with the exception that a League blacklist stares the in the face. The only remedy available at present, apparently is the consolidation of the two bodies into a twelve-club circuit, allowing the League eight to remain, with the addition of St. Louis, Baltimore, Columbus and Washington. This would mean the amalgamation of the clubs in Boston and Philadelphia and the abandonment of Louisville and Milwaukee.
It will be an exceedingly difficult matter to accomplish this end. Shrewd judges say it cannot be done. It was this problem and many others of minor importance that stared the League magnates in the face as they paced the corridors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel this morning, before going into annual session. The Imard met at noon, there being a full attendance of members. The Iniard adjourned at 2:45 o'clock for hour's recess.
At 5:30 o'clock they out and immediately the league it self went into session. President Young furnished for publica tion the following statement which disposes the charges preferred by the Chicago gainst the New York club: The Chicago presented a formal ro es against counting the York games played at Boston September 2-Sth, and 30th, and asked investiga tion follows: First, why President Day wanted (as le is quoted as saying) Boston to win the hampionship; second, why the nlaving of lie two extra games was arranged after Mr. Day arrived in Boston; third, why the New Yorks played two extra games if icy were in such helplessly weak con dition; fourth, why the New York club weakened its team by laying off such good layers as Rusie, Buckley, Connor and tichnrdson, from such emphatically im portant games as those in question; fifth. why the Chicago club was not asked to give its consent to the playing of these xtra games. "After a careful consideration of the evidence submitted, the boaiA.
finds as ful- ows: First, that the statement credited to Mr. Day is wholly untrue; second, that the arrangement for the playing of double games could not have been arranged ex- ept with the management of the New York club either In-fore or after their ar rival in Boston, on Monday, SeptenuVr 2sth. In tliis case the usual custom was observed, Boston having obtained the necessary consent of five clubs. Tb double games were arranged according to rules governing postponed games, and were en tirely legal and accordance with the eague constitution; third, that it appears from the evidence presented through the report of the investigating committee of the New York club that at the time the double games were arranged the club was complete, with the exception of Rusie and John Lwing, and the subsequent weak ening of the club was not anticipated by the management. In relation to the complaint that the Chicago Club was not invited to give its consent to the playing of the double games, the board finds that tLo neeeessary consent had been obtained from six clubs and that tho consent of Chicago was not necessary.
The League ratified this report of the Board of Directors. Nick Young was reelected present, secretary and treasurer of tho Ixague. The League to-night formally awarded the pennant of 1S01 to Boston. An Opium Smuggling Scheme. New York, Nov.
11. The Custom ITouse officials here have unearthed what will probably prove to be one of the most gigan tic schemes for the smuggling of opium into this country ever known. At present btrt little can be learned, all of the officials refusing to talk. One arrest has been made and six others are to follow. A large amount of opium has been seized.

SECRETARY FOSTER'S LETTER The Head of the Treasury Department Demonstrates That He is Familiar With Banking Methods Convention of the Men of Money. New Orleans, Nov. 11. Bankers aud financiers generally from all sections of the country convened this morning in Greeuwal's Hall.
The seventeenth annual convention of the American Bankers' Association wits ealh'd to order by the Hon. Morton MeMichaeU of the First National Bank of Philadelphia. Unusual efforts had been made to secure a full attendance and it had been given out that tho convention would be called upon to consider important propositions on the silver question and also take some action towards inaugurating a movement for the substitution of bauk 'currency for government issue. On these two questions the bankers disire to be thoroughly informed as to the real feelings of the financial men of the country. The proceedings were formally opened by prayer, after which an address of welcome was delivered by United States Senator E.
D. White. President McMichael then delivered the annual 'address, which was followed by reports of the executive committee and officers. A paper on Recent Railroad Legislation and Its Effects Upon the Finances of the United States" was presented by Professor Arthur Hadley of Yalo college. After a brief discussion George S.
Coe, president of the American Exchange National Bauk of New York, inaugurated a debate upon The Bank Sys tem and the Currency of the Future. William B. Green, secretary of the asso ciation, presented a paper strongly advocating the plan proposed at the Cincinnati convention in 1SS8 to establish a fund for standing rewards for criminals against the banking community. It is probable the plan will be approved and carried out. New Orleans, Nov.
11. A letter from Charles Foster, secretary of the treasury, upon the operation of the act of July 14, 1S90, was read. The secretary quotes the essential provisions of the act' referred to and then says: The amount of silver bullion purchased with treasury notes under the provisions of the new law from August 13, 1S90, to November 1.1S91, has aggregated G0.5SS,-530 fine ounces, costing an average cost of 1.03 per fine ounce. Frbm this silver have been coined, and the remainder is stored in the shape of fine bars, in the vaults of the mints as a reserve against the treasury notes outstanding. "While the new silver law provides foe the purchase of nearly two and a half times the amount of silver required by the act.
of 1S7S, the compulsory coiuage and issne of two million silver dollars monthly (and of silver certificates representing such dollars) is done away with. In lieu of such dollars. United States notes of full debt-paying power, redeetanble in gold or silver coin, at the option of the secretary of the Treasury, and having behind them practically a gold dollar's worth of silver bullion, have been substituted. The new law provides for an annual increase of our currency, approximating $50,000,000, or deducting the average retirement of National bank notes in recent years, an annual addition to our circulating medium of $24,000,000. "While it is true that the amount of money in circulation in this country at the present time is greater than at any previous period in our history, and more per capita than in any of the leading commercial nations of the world, with the single exception of France, I am of the opinion that owing to our rapid growth in population and wealth, and the extraordinary development in all kinds of business, a yearly increase in our circulating medium, somewhat proportionate to our growth in population, is imperatively demanded.
The issue of treasury notes under this net affords such an increase of a perfectly convenient and sound currency, based dollar for dollar upon the cost value of silver bullion, redeemable on the demand in gold coin, and with the pledge of the government to maintain it at par. "Tlub this addition to our creulation has pr-)ed beneficial, was forcibly exhibited during the spring and summer of the present year, when, through the necssities of Europe, gold was withdrawn from this country in large quantities, aggregating in a prief period of five months, over But for the substitute provided for domestic trade, in the form of treasury notes, issued by the government in the purchase of silver bullion, it is probable that this country would not have been able to stand this enormous drain of gold without producing a stringency in the money market and serious business disturbance. Another object of the act of July 14, 1S00, was to provide a home market for the silver product of the United States by requiring the purchase of a quantity of silver approximating the monthly product of our mines. That this large absorption of silver by the government for currency purpose would cause a rapid enhancement in the value of silver was very generally believed. Indeed, it was hoped that the increase in the value of silver under the operations of this law-would be so great and of so permanent a nature that a point would soon be reached when we could with safety open our mints to the free coinage of silver.
Under the operations of this silver law advanced from 'M cents per fine ounce on the 1st of January, 1SD0, to $1.21 on August 19, That it has again retrograded in price is owing in part to the fact that, because of the liberal policy exercised by the treasury, as required by law, in the purchase of silver as to the quantity purchased and the price paid, large amounts of foreign silver were attracted to this market. Other causen, which I cannot enlarge upon, have operated to produce this result, prominent among which is the large falling off in the shipments of silver to India and China. The shipments of silver from London to India during the first nine months of the present calendar year show a reduction of over $17,000,000 as compared with the same period of the prior year, wliile tho shipments of silver to China show even a greater decrease. It is claimed by those conversant with the product and movement of silver, that when the visible stock upon our market is disposed of, the monthly absorption of ounces of silver by this government will have the tendency to effectually and pfrmaneiitly steady the price) of that metal. "If the remont-tizatiou of silver, as full legal tender money, is ever to be accomplished, it can only be done by the action of nations of sufficient commercial importance to maintain ome fixed ratio in coinage between the two metals.
"The new Mirer act is an important step in that direction (lirt) because the compulsory coinage and issue of eilver dollars of less intrinsic value than their nominal value What O'Brien Says of Redmond and Harrington. HARRINGTON'S SHARP LETTER The Truth Coming Out About the Famous Conference With Parnell at Boulogne-Sur-Mer Crimination and Recrimination the Order Now. Dublin, Nov. 11. William.
O'Brien publishes a lone letter in the Freeman's Jour- nal.denouncing the conduct of Messrs. Red mond and Harrington trying to aeceie the Irish public by pretending, on the strength of their hope that he had lost Mr. Parueirs letter, that it disclosed dark treachery towards Mr. Parnell or their liberal allies. Mr.
O'Brien now gives the letter to the world, together with bis own reply the only letter be wrote to Parnell during the Boulogne negotiations, and not yet published. Mr. Parnell's letter to Mr. O'Brien recounts at length what had already, beeu done, and. as new proposals, suggests that Mr.
McCarthy interview Mr. Gladstone and get a written memorandum, embodying assurances already given anent land and police, transferred to the custody of O'Brien; that if the memorandum was satisfactory to both Mr. Parnell and Mr. O'Brien, the former would announce his retirement from the chairmanship; that the terms of the memorandum would not bo disclosed until the home rule, was introduced, and not then unless the bill was unsatisfactory, but that after the passage of a satisfactory bill, Mr. Parnell should be permitted to publish the memorandum.
Instead of a two years' limit within whioh the constabulary should be disarmed and converted into a civil force Mr. Parnell agreed that the time might be extended five years, but he said it was of vital importance that some limit should be fixed. The letter in conclusion gives Mr. O'Brien permission to show it to the Redmond brothers and Mr. Gill.
O'Brien says that on receiving this letter he telegraphed to Mr. Harrington, who replied that Mr. FarneU's propositions were subject to Mr. O'Brien's accepting the chairmanship. At the same Mr.
O'Brien wrote to Mr. Parnell to the effect that the proposals were feasible provided Mr. McCarthy continued as chairman, otherwise, as the Uawwrden plan involved the employment of Mr. McCarthy in a painful transaction, they would raise a formidable difficulty. Mr.
O'Brien concludes with an expression of the belief that they would be able to devise some other equally satisfactory plan. In a postcript he says he consulted Mr. Redmond's bill, aud all agreed that when they niect next May they will be able to arrange'a modus vivendi. Mr. O'Brien contends that the foregoing disposes of the rarnellite plea that Mr.
Parnell's retirement was to le a sham and that he was to have the right of veto in connection with the Home Rule bill. Mrt 'Brien declares that he no more represented the Liberal party inBoulogne negotiations than he represented the Mikado. He did not possess a shadow of authority in the matter except from his American brother delegates. Harrington's Charges. London, Nov.
11. Timothy Harrington has written a letter in which he charges ilhain Brien with concealing the most important part of the Parnell corresimnd- euce, in the negotiations held by the Irish leaders in Boulogne, at the leginniug of the present year, when dissension first arose in the ranks of the Irish Nationalists, As a proof of the assertions which he makes. Mr Harrington cites letter which Mr. Parucll wrote to Mr. O'Brien in Janu ary last, suggesting that Justin McCarthy obtain satisfactory assurances from the Gladstonian party that they would continue to act in good faith with the Home Rulers.
Then Mr. Parnell constituted Mr. O'Brien chairman, he himself retiring in the latter favor. Mr. Parnell.
however, made the presidency of Mr. Brien an absolute condition. Mr. Brien thereupon wrote a letter in which he proposed that his election to the chairmanship be effected without public, conditions of any kind being exacted, and solely under a private understanding. Mr.
O'Brien said he would seek an inter view with Mr. Gladstone immediately after his election for the purpose of ob taining declarations from the leader of the Liberals, as to what the future action of the Liberal party was to be in regard to Irish land, police and judiciary questions. If the replies to these inquiries were of an unsatisfactory nature, Mr. O'Brien was to resign the chairmanship in Mr. Parnell's favor, and to declare himself for Mr.
Parnell as the leader of the Irish Nationalists. It is now disclosed that Mr. O'Brien cabled to Mr. Dillon in New York asking him to support the chairrain. Mr.
Dillon telegraphed back, "Parnell is humbugging you." Mr. Parnell disapproved of Mr. O'Brien's suggestions as a substitute for the drafted memoranda, already published by Mr. O'Brien. During the discussion of the memoranda, Mr.
O'Brien pledged himself that if Mr. Gladstone's assurances were insufficient, he would at least become neutral. A long series of communications which Mr. Harrington publishes indicates that Mr. Parnell trusted Mr.
O'Brien. Mr. Parnell telegraphed Mr. O'Brien from Boulogne; "I am willing to consult with Mr. McCarthy, but the terms of the memorandum must be adhered to, which provide that that you and I are the sole and final judges." In finally rupturing the negotiations Mr.
Tarnell wrote to Mr. O'Brien: "On whichever side Irishmen may engage, they owe yon thanks for acting throughout with the spirit of a true patriot." Mr. Harrington concludes: This confidence was misplaced. Mr rarnell concurred with Mr. O'Brien In demanding assurances from the Liberals.
Both agreed that the assurances offered were insufficient, and that they ought to be amended. But the Liberals, having found that they could count upon Mr. O'Brien, refused to amend them." Francis Joseph For Peace. Vienna, Nov, 11. Replying to-day to addresses of the presidents of Austro-IIunga-rkan delegations, the Emperor referred to Austria's friendly relations with all the powers.
His Majsety declared that he was full hannouy with his allies in the Avish and endeavor tc. maintain peace. He had received peaceful assurances from all the foreign cabinets.

The Junta Preparing to Turn Over the Government to President Month.
London, Nov. 11. A dispatch from Santiago this afternoon brings the intelligence that the Chilian Junta is prepared to surrender the executive authority it has exercised since Balmaceda's downfall to the newly organized Congress. On the metting of Congress to-day the Junta addressed that body in a formal message. In this it set forth the principles which had controlled it in governing the country in the absence of regularly constituted authorities, explained the present shv uation of affairs, and said that inasmuch as Congress was now prepared to assume responsibility the Junta would resign to that body the function which it had been exercising.
The chief recommendation made by the Junta in surrendering its power was an urguit plea that Congress should at once institute measures looking to a thorough reorganization of the army and the navy. The Senate organized by electing Senor Waldo Silva as its president. The Chamber of Deputies elected as its presiding officer Senor Barros Luco. Seuores Silva and Luco, together with Admiral Jorge Montt, the newly selected President of the republic, were the men -who constituted the famous Junta of the Congressional ists. Admiral Montt, who was nominated few days ago by the Liberals, the dominant party in Chili, as its candidate for the Presidency, and whose nomination is equivalent to election.has beeu empowered to assume all the duties of the chief executive electoral college, which will take jilire of the republic until the of the shortly, when Admiral Montt wiil lie formally elected Presidcrt.
Washington, Nov. 11. Much indignation is expressed at the State and Navy Departments at the conduct of certain English newspapers in ascribing foolish sentimtnts and remarks to Minister Egan and Captain Schley, in connection with the pending questions between the Chilian and the Fniied States governments. No one here believes that Captain Schley ever said that war was inevitable, and the opinion is Id in the departments that the English papers are engaged in an effort to foment the growth of a feeling of animosity by the Chilians against the people of the United States, which, while it may not manifest itself in warlike demonstrations, would be likely to prejudice the trade relations lietween the two countries to the great lienefic of English commerce. As a matter of fact, the last communications received from Captain Schley by the Navy Department indicate the existence of peaceful relations between his sailors and the people of Valparaiso.
In tb cas of Brazil, no word has been received from Minister Conger tending to confirm tho story of the revolt of three of the principal Brazilian provinces, which is also reported from English sources. There is a disposition here also to attribute to the English papers a desire to embarrass the Brazilian authorities who were resjionsible for the negotiation of the reciprocity agreement with the United States, inasmuch as this arrangement, in the short time it has been in operation, has sensibly extended the commerce between Brazil and the United States. A BIG MORTGAGE. Suit Against a Railway Company to Secure Payment of $2, 500, 000. Foughkeepsie, Nov.
11. There was filed in the Dutchess county clerk's office this afternoon the summons and complaint and dispeudums in the action of Watson Van Beuthuvsen, plaintiff, against the Central New England Western Railroad Company, the Fidelity Insurance Irust and Safe De posit Company of Pennsylvania, and the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Company, as defendants for foreclosure of a mortgage filed in the county clerk's office October 11th, lSSf, to secure the payment of the sum of $2,500,000.

At to-day's session of the National Farmers' Congress these resolutions were introduced and referred Urging the Congress of the United States to cede arid lands in the various states, to provide the states with systems of irrigation; urging the extension of signal and crop report system of the department ot agriculture. Congressman John T. Heard, of the Sixth Missouri Congressional district, delivered an address on railway transportation. Railway transportation, he said, was a subject of supreme importance to the farmer. One of the solutions of this vexed question was found in state railway com missions.
Another method of controlling railroad corporations in the interests of the people was through a national railway com mission. Some professed to believe that the railroads should be placed under government management. Government railroading, he believed, would be a gigantic failure. The purchase of the railroad would necessitate incurring a debt of gi gantic proportions and he did not believe the farmers or any one else wanted to go down into their pockets and pay any more debt than they were now paying. H.
C. Browai, of Georgia, endorsed everything that Mr. Heard had said. Hon. Martin Mohler.

11. The ninety-one Chinese laundrymen who were caught Sunday during a raid upon alleged opium joints were discharged in court to-day for lack of evidence. It is believed that the opium traffic has been started by some of the opium growers in India. It is not thot.ght that it conies from China. The Indian merchants have first sent the drug to Canada and it has then been smuggled across the border into the United States.
In addition to having agents in Canada, about three or four months ago, two or three well educated natives from Bombay arrived in this country by way of Europe. Tiny ostensibly came on some other business, but the real object of their visit is believed to have been the completion of an elaborate arrangement for the increasing of the opium traffic in this country, as the first attempt at smuggling proved to be so successful it was determined to operate on a larger scale. The ramifications of the scheme are intricate and ingenious, but with the information already in the hands of the treasury officials an effectual stop ill be put to opium smuggling.
