The meeting was private, but It leaked out that It was quite spirited, aud that the pastor was charged with various slanderous and untruthful utterances from the pulpit.

Washington Dinpatch te the ritUlmru Pest. The action of the ways mid means com cem com miteoo lu placing a tax of 1) cents per pound upon lead ores and lead dress, and a similar duty upon silver ores containing lead, plainly Indicates the clever manipu lation of Blaine, Klkins ,V company. This clan se of the McKluley bill revives the great scandal In which Secretary Hlalne wasinvolved by the nmmiutment or his business agent, A. G, Hanmsen, of Colo Cole rado, as consul te Pase Del Norte Inst summer. It was thou alleged that .Secre tary Hlalne, S. B. Klkins and Itussell Har rison weioluterosted In ft big corporation known as the Carbonate company of Col Col orado, which practically produced all the silver lead ores of this country. These ores, It appears, are the only substances avallable for smelting ordinary silver ores unless the silver lead ere from Mexico be oxceptod. At that tlme It was charged that It was te the interest of the perseim named te exclude the Mexican ores from our markets, in order that they might thus so se on re a moueioly. The peeple along theTaxns berder stren uously opposed Sampson's appointmeiit, and held mass meetings te express their indignation lu respcel te u. Sampson's violent and outspekon oxproi exproi oxprei slons of sympathy with the silver lead ero syndicate aroused the greatest, opjiesltloii, and even the Mexican government, Influ enced both by Its own interests and the ap peal of the Mexican Central railroad, for a long tlme hesitated te grant exequatur te Sampson en the ground that ha was mere properly te be considered as the represen tative ei a tow grasping lean miners iiiuii or this government, nor did they finally recognl.e him until Secretary Wlmlein overruled the proesltiou te tax Mexlcau smelting ores containing both silver mid lead at the rate of of li cents per iieund. Hut the silver-lead men, having failed be be bo eoro the treasury department, resorted te the ways mid moanscemmittcoand have at last carried their stint. The prevision of the McKiiiley bill en this point is ns fellows ; "i.eau ero aim lead dress, 1) cents per iKiiiud, provided that the silver ero containing lead shall nay a duty or I cents iter pound en the lean conuunea iiioreiu ncceruuiK in schedule ami assay at the pert or entry." This prevision Is a complete victory for the carbonate ring. Bv tills bill all the dry ero producers and all the smelters of thu country are placed at the mercy or Blalne .t Ce,; for they con trol about all the smelting ero avallable here. Mr. Bciifleld, of North Carolina, who Is a close student of politics in this country, and a Republican or the doepest dye, said le-ulght In relation te this matter: " It Is the masterpiece or Dlatnn's chicanery, and that is saying a great deal."
