rsrrciAL txlegbam to im dispatch, lPhladelphii, October 27. Charles
H. Heustis, editor of the Jnquirtr, appeared
before Magistrate O'Brien at 3 o'clock this
afternoon to answer a charge of criminal
libel preferred by Robert E.Fattison. Mr. Heustis was arrested on awarrant sworn out by Mr. Pattison this
morning, and at the same time warrants
were also issued for the arrest of JamesElverson, President of the Inquirer Com-pan- v;
Claytcn McMichael, editor and pro-
prietor of the 2ibrth American, and W. F.Jordan and J. J. McLaurin, editors andpublishers of the Harrisburg Call, who werecharged by the with the sameoffense.
The cbarcc of libel is based upon thesimultaneous publication in the papers inques ua on Saturday, October 25, purport-ing to g've the secret history o I the approvalby Mr. Pattison when he was Governor ofthe State of measures which had .passed theLegislature, known as tho South Penn Rail-
road bills lonr in number.
The Charges .Against Pattison.In the three papers mentioned there was
published on Saturday morning an articlewhich charged that Governor Pattison hadbeen bribed by the Tanderbilts to sign whatwere known as the South Penn bills of 1883,and that the Governor sought out and
Jeremiah S. Black to writea veto message, and having received it, withthe understanding that it was to be sent tothe Legislature, he changed his mind bythe next morning, and without notice toJudge Black, approved the bills, and thatJudge Btack denounced Governor Pattisoufor his alleged deception and severed allamicable relations with him. The articlealso charged that $30,000 in stock bad beenpid to Governor Pattisw and AttorneyGeneral Lewis J. Cassidy for the signing of
a bill chartering a Pittsburg natural gascorporation.
When the hearing began the little office:n which Magistrate O'Brien holds court,st Fifteenth and Ridge avenue, was filled.Lawyers Shakespeare and Heverin were onhand to look after the interests of Messers.Heustis and Elverson, while Mayor Sulz-
berger, assisted by Richard P. "White, con-
ducted the case for Mr. Pattison. The onlyother prominent men present were
of the Commonwealth "William S.Stenger and Judge James Gay Gordon. Inintroducing the case Mr. Sulzberger readseveral extracts from the article complainedof as published in th? Inquirer and offereda copy of the paper of Saturday last in evi-
dence.The Complainant on the Stand.
Pattison was then called tothe stand, and after being duly sworn wasnaked by his counsel. ""What were the re-lations of yourself and Judge Black previ-ous to the time of hi? death?"
"Always of the most friendly character,"was the reply. "So far as I know JudgeItUrkdied entertaining a very friendlyfeeling toward me."
"Did y .1 ever send for him and ask himto help you come to a decision regarding theSouth Penn bills?"
"I never did. He came to me to offerobjections to their passage just as any othercitizen might do."
"When questioned as to the date of JudgeBlack's visit Mr. Pattison said: "It wasthe lirst part of the last week of May, 1883,I think on Monday."
Counsel then asked: "What was his posi-tion regarding the passage of those bills?"
"He was opposed to them.""And your own position?""I was in favor or them from the first and
so stated to Judge Black, I was in favor ofthem the same as I would be in favor of anyhalf-doze- n other lines which bv offeringcompetition would benefit the citizens ofPennsylvania."
Passed by a Republican Legislature.In reply to several questions the
stated that the lonr bills hadpassed both Honscs of the Legislature in theregular order of legislation, the Legislaturebeing at that time Republican by a largetujonty.
"On what grounds did Judge Black ob-ject to the parage of the bill?" was the nextquestion.
To this Lawyer Shakespeare objected, buthe Magistrate allowed the question. '
"His argument was principally that thepassage of the bills would only assist inbuilding up another monopoly," was the reply ot Mr. Pattison.
The Governor then stated how he signedthe bill extending the time for the completion of the railroads in the State and the onerelating to terminal points to which railroads may be constructed. This part of thematter having been heard, Judge Black'svisit and argument were again taken up. Ina general statement which counsel askedhim to give, Mr. Pattison said that JudgeBlack had continued his argument over aspace of three or four days.
"Did you ask Judge Black to prepare aveto message for you which would not onlytake the hair off all the scoundrels heads,but would clean the marrow out of theirbones?" was asked.
One falsehood Pointed Out."I did not, and any statement of that
nature or which in any way implies such arequest as having emanated from me isfalse" was the reply.
"What was the nature of the paper whichJudge Black did leave with you?"
"After having argued for such a lengthof time and finding that I still approved ofthe bills, Judge Black asked permission toleave with me a paper giving in substancehis arguments, and the paper which he leftwith me was simply a summary of his ob-
jections written out for my consideration.""When did you next see Judge Black?"
Mr. Sulzberger asked."At a dinner given by me in honor of the
judges of the Supreme Court the followingweek when he sat at my richt. That wasthe last time I saw him, but I received aletter Iroin him on June 5 regretting his inability to say good-by- e before leaving Har-risburg after the dinner "
When questioned concerning the nllegedvisit to New York, the Governor stated thathe knew nothing whatever of it.
"'Did you know anything of the charter-ing of the Pittsburg .Natural Gas Com-
pany?" was asked."I know that the company was regularly
chartered under the provisions of the Statelaws for the chartering of any corporation."
The Natural Gas Story Nailed."How about the statement that the com-
pany paid $30,000 in shares to the Pattisoncrowd for the approval of the charter?"asked Mr. Sulzberger.
Mr. Pattison quickly replied: "That isabsolutely false. No such payment wasever made. There was no bill or anv measure of any kind for which any considerationwas ever paid in an shapo or form what-ever either to me or to any member of myCabinet or any one in any way connectedwith the Administration either directly orindirectly."
"Were" yon. aware of the movement onfoot to make you a member of PresidentCleveland's Cabinet?" was asked.
"Not until I read the story on Saturday.I was asked to become a member of the com-mission to inquire into the condition of thePacific Railroad companies, and, after hav-ing declined the honor twice, accepted it atMr. Cleveland's earnest solicitation."
The only question asked in th-- j
by Mr. Shakespeare was: "Youare a Gubernatorial candidate for
on next Tuesday?"After the Governor's answer in the affirm-
ative the opposing counsel indulged in afriendly bout on the subject of libel suits.
A Tilt Concerning Libel Salts.Mr. Shakespeare saying that they were
not always settled before election and Mr.Sulzberger replying that sometimes theywere not even instituted before.
JudgeGordou siiexcalled, to thesta'cdand in answer to a series of questionsby Mr. Sulzberger, said that he rememberedthe bills very well and had voted againsttwo of them in the State Senate and wasabsent when the third was passed. He had,however, voted for the reduction of thecapitalization from S750.000 to $300,000 permile in the bill returned by Governor Patti-son for amendment.
At the request of 0 udgc Black, SenatorGordon had given the bills to LieutenantGovernor Black to be sent to his father, andhe had also received Judge Black's tele-gram begging for an interview with theGovernor. Judge Gordon was not presentat any time from Monday to Thursday dur-ing the hearing of the argument and hadnever heard of the veto message.
"Did Judge Black ever speak: disparag-ingly ot Governor Pattison to you?" vrasasked.
"No; to me he was always the Governor'seulogist."
"Did you co with the party, as alleged,to New York?" was the next question.
"No.""When did you go to New York?""I went to New York first alter the pas-
sage of the bill in March, 1884, and duringthe visit the bills were in no way referredto, for they hud been laws for nine months.Everytning either said or implied in thepublished statement is false."
No was made.Stenger as a Witness.
of State Stenger was nextcalled and stated that he was always infavor of the passage of the bills,as the SouthPenn Railroad would be a benefit to theSouthern tier of counties in which he lived.He said that he had no knowledge of anyinvitation to Judge Black from GovernorPattison for a conference on the measure.He W3s present at the argumen: on the lastday, Thursday, and saw the paper whichJudge Black had prepared. It' was spokenof as a condensed report of the argumentoffered against the bills.
"Was there anything in it of the natureof a veto?" he was asked.
"No, there was nothing of the kind, nordid Judge Black ever, in my presence, sayanything unkind either to or about theGovernor."
"Did yoa know anything of the use ofmoney in securing the charter of the Pitts-burg Gas Company?"
"I was not aware of any offer of the kindto anyono connected with the administra-tion. The article is in every particularfalse," said Mr. Steneer.
This closed the offering of evidence, andin a few words Mr. Silzberger put the casebefore the Magistrate. He said: "The ar-ticles as published give the case as happen-ing on June 3, 1883, and that date, you willfind, fails on a Sunday. The whole thing is
A Deliberate lie Fabricatedfor campaign purposes. The relations ofMr. Fattison and Judge Black were of themost friendly nature, as is shown by thefact of Judge Black attending a dinner, asMr. Pattison's invited guest, and occupyinga seat of honor."
Mr. White supplemented the argumentwith the statement that on June 3, whenthe alleged stormy interview is cited as hav-ing occurred, Judge Black had left Harris-burg. Mr. Sulzberger1 then asked that thedefendant be held in bail sufficient to insurehis appearance at court.
Mr. Heustis was held in $1,600 bail andMr. Elverson, having waived a hearingthrough his counsel, was .held in the sameamount, P. W. McDowelLentering bond inthe amounts required. Mr. McDowell wasanxious to enter bail for Mr. McMichaelalso, but Lawyer Sulzberger insisted thathe should be arrested "like any other.criminal.'
The hearing in the cases of W. P. Jor-dan, J. J. McLaurin and Clayton Mc-
Michael has been set for Wednesday at 13o'clock noon. Messrs McMichael andElverson arc out ot town, and Mr. Mc-Michael will b: arrested as soon as he re-

COLORADO SETTLERS CALL FOR 11ELP
Washington, October 27. The IndianBureau has received from Agent McLaugh-lin at the Standing Rock Indian agency areport upon the prospective outbreak amongthe Sioux in consequence of the promisedcoming of the "New Messian." The agentsays:
n
I trust that I may not bo considered an alarm-ist,
toand I do not wish to ba understood as con-
sidering the present state of excitement soalarming as' to apprehend any imniediato up-
rising or serious outbreak, but 1 do feel it myduty to report the present craze and nature orthe incitement existing among the "SittingBull" factions of Indians over the expectedIndian millennium," the annihilation of the
white man and supremacy of the Indians,which is looked for not later than next spring.
They are promised by some members of theSioux tribe, who have lately developed into"medicine men," that tlio Great Spirit haspromised them that their punishment by tiiodominant race has been sufficient, and thattheir numbers having now become so deci-
mated will be by all Indians whoare dead.
DEAD INDIANS RISING.Further, they say the dead are all returning
to this earth which belongs to theIndians; that they are driving back with themas they return immense herds of buffalo andelegant wild horses to have for the catching:that the Great Spirit promises them that thewhite men will be unable to make gun powderin future: that be will cover the earth with SO
feet of additional soil, well sodded and tim-bered, under which the whites will all besmothered.
"Sitting Bull" is the high priest of this latestIndian absurdity; m a word, he is the chiefmischief maker at this agency, and if he werenot hero this craze so general among the Siouxwould never have secured a foothold at thisagency. He has been a disturbing elementhere since his return from confinement as amilitary prisoner in the spring of 1SS3,
but has been growing gradually worse thepast vear, which is partly to be accdnnted forby the presence of a lady named Mrs. C. Wei-do-
Irom Brooklyn, who came here in Jnne,lSSl', announcing herself as a member of Br.Bland's society, the Indian Defense Associa-tion, and opposed to the Indians ratifying theact ol March 2, 1SS9.
MCNEY FOR SITTING BULL.While here she bestowed numerous presents
upon Sitting Boll, considerable being money,which bad a demoralizing effect upon him, in.flating him with his importance.
The woman is now located on tho north bankof Cannon Ball river, just outeide of this reser-vation, and about 25 miles north of the agency.Sitting Bull has been a frequent visitor to herhouse, and he has grown more insolent andworthless with every visit he has made there,her lavish expendituro of money and othergifts npon him enabling him to give frequentfeasts and hold councils.
On the 9th Instant, upon an invitation fromBitting Bull, an Indian named Kicking Bear,belonging to the Cheyenne River Agency, thechief medicine man of the ghost dance amongthe Sioux, arrived at Sitting Bull's camp, onGrand river, to inaugurate a ghost dance and isinitiate the members. Upon learning of his ar-rival there I sent a detachment of 13 policemenbut thev returned without executing the order, aboth officers being in a "dazed" condition andfearing the powers of Kicking Bear's medicine.Sitting Bull was very insolent to the omcers,and made the threats against certain membersof force, but said that the visitors would leavethe following day.

The Lieutenant returned yesterday, and re-ported that the party had not started back toCheyenne before his arrival there on the morn-ing of the loth, but left immediately upon hisordering them to do so. and that Sitting Bulltold him that htf was determined to continuethe "Ghost Dance," as the Great Spirit hadsent a direct message by Kicking Bear that tolive tbey must do so. but that he would nothave any more dancing until after he had come ofto the agency and talked the matter over withme, but tho news comes in this morning thatthey are dancing again.
Desiring xo exhaust all reasonable means be-fore resorting to extremes I have sent a mess-age to Sitting Bull by his nephew One Bull,that I want to see him at the agency and Ifeel quite confident that I shall succeed inallaying tho present excitement anu put a stopto this absurd craze for the present, at least,

ANOTHER AIRING IN COURT.
The Husaboe Breach of Promise Suit Ar-
gued Again.;rSPECIAt, TELEQBaM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Sceanton, October 27. The breach ofpromise suit brought by Miss Annie H.Husaboe against the Rev. Peter Robertshad another airing in court this morning inthe shape of an argument for a new trial.Counsel for the recreant minister, Mr. Ed-wards, argued that the action of Mr.Pitcher, counsel for the plaintiff, in takingthe stand and revealing the confessionwhich the minister mado to him was unpro-fessional and should not have been per-mitted. Mr. Pitcher swore that the min-ister confessed to him the promise of mar-riage. This, with the clergyman's damagingletters, led to his conviction.
Counsel lot Mr. Roberts also alleged thatMiss Husaboe had once brought a suitagainst a man in Wisconsin for a similarcase in all respects. Mr. Colborn, counselfor Miss Husaboe, challenged the .'proof ofthis last statement, and hinted that hadMiss Husaboe so desired she could haveproduced evidence which would haveblasted the reputations of others who werestudents of Yale.

general expectation, an application wasmade this afternoon for an injunction to re-

thorized by the act of Legislature passed onFriday last. The application was made toJudge Hunt, of the Superior Court, byLouis Reemlin, William Montgomery andEd Dunham, of the Board of Public Im-provements, which was abolished by thesame act. The ground of the application

London, October 27. Mr. and Mrs.Henry M. Stanley started at noon to-d- forLiverpool, on Jheir way to America. Alarge party of friends accompanied them to
Euston station in order to bid farewell to
the conple, and a crowd also assembled and
cheered the illustrious traveler and his-wif-
as they entered the station.The Globe, one of the leading afternoon
papers, in referring to the recently issuedbiography of Major Barttelot, says:
Tne book is not only the vindication of abrave soldier and gentleman who died at thopost of duty, but it is also a formal indictmentbefore the court of public opinion of anotherEnglishman whom .Englishmen hold in honrhonor, which, if the indictment is well founded,must be gravely tarnished and impaired. Thequestion is how far Stanley is answerable forthe fato of his second in command, andwhether or not ho endeavored to blacken hisLieutenant's reputation to save his own. Stan-Ic-
according to Barttelot's biographer, leftstores at Yambuya under Barttelot in order todivert the Arab plunderers from impeding hisown advances and deluded Barttelot into thebelief that he expected Tippoo Tib to assist inforwarding them. He left instructions heknew to be impracticable and virtually aban-doned his rear-guar- either from indifferenceor intention. Stanley's written instructionsstand to prove that Barttelot was not to stirwithout all the stores, otherwise he would rmnthe whole expedition. Barttelot obeyed undera strong sense of duty. He n as on rearguardduty against his will: for 13 months be was leftto rot in Yambuya. a martyr, beyond question,to duty and discipline. For this man Stanleyhas nothing but blame for disobedience to hiscriers, and sneers at bis honesty and courage.

By silence he admits the charges, which implythat he was crnel or callous, if not actuallytreacherous, for bis own selbsb, secret ends,followed by calumny when the necessity cameupon him. Despite all his precaution?, this isthe indictment. In justice to a brave soldier,it cannot bs ignored.

lie Cannot Grant New York a Recount ofDTer Population.
Washington, October 27. Secretary ofthe Interior Noble y rendered a de-
cision denying the application ot MayorGrant for a enumeration of the populationof the city of New York. In his decisionthe Secretary says:
It thus appears that the Mayor bases his ap-plication on the fact, as he alleges, that themunicipal census shows many more inhabitantsto have been in New York in October than theUnited States census shows to have been therein June, that the Secretary finds tne municipalcensus was not ukea unuor any supervision oythe Census Bureau, or anyone representing it,and no such information has been sent thebureau or department as enables it to deter-mine that tho United States census was faultyand should be retaken; that a faulty UnitedStates census mut bo shown by proof that theexcess now claimed were inhabitants of thecity in Jnne and not then enumerated; that theNational census has been so well token thatthe body of the people are content with it,and that it should not be abandoned. No suchreasons are here showu to exist, and the appli-cation is not allowed.

Hemade no attempt to rob his victim, who hadconsiderable money on his person, and it islargely due to thi3 fact that the shooting isbelieved to be either an assassination or-dered by the Mafia, or the outcome of anvendetta imported from Italy. Caruze tooka train on the Panhandle Railroad, sayinghe was going to Lock Haven.
The Steubenville anthorities notified In-spector McAleese to look out for Caruze,but up to a late hour last night no trace hadbeen found of him, although the policewere working diligently. Caruze has awhite cast in one eye and fs well known tothe police here, having been in trouble e.
