Hon. "Walter Lyon, of Pittsburg, United States District Attorney, will, if affirmatively decided, receive secret and imperative instructions how to prosecute. FROM A 6TATT COEEESPOSBEXT.J Washington, November 12. "The legal views of the case o theJeannette glass workers are now before Secretary Wiudom," said Assistant Secretary Batch eller, late this afternoon, as he sat at his desk putting his autograph to the last lot of the official papers of the day. "The Secre tary," he continued, "will, I think, an nounce his decision in the case to-morrow." "And can you give any intimation as to what that decision will be?" queried the correspondent of The Dispatch. "That is a matter for the Secretary him self to give you?" answered the General. "Will it be possible to get a complete copy of the opinion of Solicitor Hepburn for publication in The Dispatch?" asked the correspondent. rOB SIK. LTON'S EYES ONLT. "No," 6aid the General; "that will be en tirely out of the question. There are por tions of it that are for the eyes of the Dis trict Attorney alone, to aid him in his fur ther treatment of the case, and they cannot be given out." Then he added, hastily, "I don't mean to say that suit will be brought, bnt that they are for the sole use of the Dis trict Attorney, in the event of a suit being ordered." Attorney General Miller concluded his conference with Solicitor Hepburn, in re gard to the case, to-day. He cave no formal opinion of his own, but merely reviewed the case in every particular at the request of the Solicitor. While neither he nor the Solic itor will converse about the nature of the opinion, The Dispatch correspondent has it from the best of authority that there were NO TWO OPINIONS In regard to any feature of the case. The Attorney General coincided with So licitor Hepburn in all things, and the opin ion of the Solicitor virtually went to the Secretary of the Treasury as the opinion of the two most important legal counsel of the Government There appears to be no doubt whatever that District Attorney Lyon will be in structed to bring suit separately in each of the 25 or more cases against Chambers & McKee as principals, and against Campbell and Slicker as their agents. One of the pe culiar features of the case, which makes it distinctive from any other case tried under the law, is that Campbell and Slicker are connected with labor organizations which prayed for the passage of the alien contract labor law, and which are BITTERLY OPPOSED to the importation of foreign labor under contract, and yet took in hand, as is as sumed from the evidence, the importation of foreigners themselves, and committed , one of the most conspicuous and serious in fractions of the law that has yet come within the knowledge of the authorities of the Treasury Department. These facts have been before the eyes of the officials of the department all the time, as well as the other fact that Campbell was a member ot the Legislative Committee of the Knights of Labor which spent whole sessions of Congress in the corridors of the Capitol during the enactment and amend ment of this law, and the passage of similar laws for the protection of American labor. OFFICIAL DELIGHT IN BIGLDITr. It is just possible that for these reasons, the officials of the Department have taken more than the usual interest in this case, and that they will take pleasure in directing the most rigid prosecution of the cases, more to get at the members of the labor or ganizations who are supposed to be culpa ble, and who, of all others, should have avoided being involved in an infraction of this particular law. As to the apprehension and return of the glass workers, of course they will only suffer by being sent back to their former homes. Possibly not all of them may be included among those deported. They may be needed as witnesses, at least some of them. , NO EVASION PBOBABLE. Those returned may be sent back in any Teasel, jstnd the vessel that brought them over, which in this case was the Iowa, is held responsible for the cost The expense stands as a lien against the vessel, and she will not be allowed to discharge a cargo or clear from anv American port nntil she has satisfied the demand. Of course there will be no trouble on that score, as the cost would be slight Under the law the Secretary may designate anyone he chooses, a Marshal, an Inspector of Immigration or other official to attend to this feature of the matter.

Senator M. S. Quay arrived in the city this after noon, and this evening is buried beneath a tremendous mass of correspondence, which covers the broad desk of his library, ex tends its boundaries to chairs beyond, and fills capacious waste baskets on the floor. There were letters on nearly every subject; but the mass related to pensions and.to office-getting,and they came from all parts of the country, from the lakes to the gulf, and from Passamaquoddy Bay to the Golden Gate. If will require several days to clear away this volume of matter, and then the Senator will be ready for business. Mean time he will be rather exclusive, and will give little attention to the demands of gen tlemen who want office. The Senator could not say when there would be any movement in any of the Penn sylvania offices. He intimated that only the Almighty and the President knew any thing in regard to the probabilities in that direction, and that it is abont as easy to get information on that point from one as from the other. It is plainly to be seen that the Senator is not bursting with admiration for the manner in which some appointments are being made and some applicants for appointments dis missed. Por instance, it is well known that the Senator has for some time desired the appointment of Reynolds, ol Wyoming county, to the posi tion of Second Deputy Commissioner of Pensions. The correspondent of TheDis PArrcn is reliably informed that he had an absolute promise that this appointment would be made; consequently the appint ntent yesterday of Charles P. Lincoln one of those gentlemen urged by nobody that anybody can hear of, but who are so lucky with the administration came in the nature of a disagreeable surprise to the Sen ator. i So many similar appointments have been made, and so many Senators, Representa tives and applicants incensed by them, that it will not be surprising if the early days of Congress develop a far greater opposition to the President within his party than that which began at a similar period of the Cleveland administration, and grew in vol ume until it swept the Cleveland adminis tration out of existence. The feeling against the President is on account of his treatment of persons whose influence and advice should naturally have weight in the selection of successors to decapitated Democrats.

Walker Blaine, after a few days sojourn among the Pan-American delegates, at Pittsburg and other points in Pennsylvania, returned to his desk at the State Department, to-dav. His mission, it appears, was to sound the delegates with a view to learning their wishes regarding a trip to the cities of the Southern portion of the United States, and favorable responses were made to his proposition by every one of the delegates with whom he conversed. This fact has been laid before Secretary Blaine, and an understanding has been reached by the State Department regarding the matter. "It is quite likely," said Mr. Blaine to day, "that the delegates to the American J Conference will spend a portion of the ensu ing winter in the southtrn part of this conn try. They have expressed a desire to do so. They are expected to return to Washington to-morrow, but the session of the Congress will not begin until Monday of next week. A SKELETON WITH A HISTORY.

While engaged in digging a cellar near the the Quinnipiac brewerv, this morninc. Bernard Kevelin, a laborer, dug up a skel eton. The bones were examined by Dr. White, who declared them to be those of a woman who was abont 20 years of age at the time of her death. He further states that from marks on the shoulder he believes that the woman was murdered!. The skeleton was found under a plank which had once served as the bottom of an old boat, and from the cramped position in which the bones were found the body which once con tained them was hastily buried. When found, the bones lay about two feet underground, and were ten feet distant from a spot where, two weeks ago, the skeleton of another woman was found. Both are oe lieved to be the skeletons of murdered women. During the war the place where the skeleton was found was adjacent to a conscript camp, and in a locality which in those days was noted for thedangerous char acters which frequented the neighborhood.

Columbus, O., November 12. Camp bell's plurality in the State will be just about the same as Hoadly's in 1883, viz: 12,000. The Democratic majority on joint ballot in the Legislature is eight, two in the Senate and six in the House. The plurality on Lieutenant Governor, will not be more than 300 either way. To-night it looks as if Marquis, Democrat, will win. Eighty o the 83 counties are in officially, in the Secretary of State's office, the rest estimated and to-morrow will end the agony. Lamp son, Republican, to-night gives it up, but the official vote in the remaining counties may elect him by a small pluralitv. Marquis is 200 ahead to-night. This is pretty close, on a poll of 800,000 votes. Follett, Democrat, for Supreme Judge, may also probably pull through. The rest of the Republican State ticket is apparently elected by from l.OtfO to 3,000. Hon. Calvin S.

He will also be strong in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Colum bus and Dayton.

She Was a Good Government Clerk, bat She Sailed Under False Colors. rB-XCTAI. TELEGBAX TO THE DISPATCH.. Washington, November 12. Mis3 Josie Holmes, who became somewhat noto rious in the trials following the collapse of the Fidelity Bank, of Cincinnati, as the confidential clerk of E. L. Harper, and who afterward came to Washington and obtained a place under Superintendent Porter, is no longer a clerk in the Census Office. She did not appear for work to-day, and iu the course of the evening the story leaked out that her resignation had been accepted and the date set for the 30th of the present month. What probably decided her case was the evidence produced in the Cincin nati courts to show that she had falsified certain accounts. The mistake by Miss Holmes at the out set was in entering the service under an as sumed name, as this trick, when discovered, lent color to the charges of systematic wrong-doing which had been brought against her. She made an excellent record as a clerk, and her backing was very power ful, including some of the most prominent persons in the West. TEEEIBLE TEIPLE TEAGEDT.

He now indorses no one's application for office and holds no communication with the White House. Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt at tacks Postmaster General Wanamaker on the latter's disrespect for civil service rules. rSFECIAI. TEXEOBAM TO ID DISPATCH.! Washington, November 12. The rupture between President Harrison and United States Treasurer Huston, ex-Chairman of the Republican State Central Com mittee of Indiana, is taking definite form. There is no longer any doubt that the in fluence which for a time belonged to Huston, has been transferred to his rival in the race for Dan Voorhees' Senatorial shoes, Attorney General Michener. The first direct misunderstanding occurred a few weeks ago, when Mr. Huston failed to se cure the appointment of his right-hand man, George W. Robertson, to be Bank Examiner for Indiana. Now it is learned that Mr. Huston has met with another re buff. Soon after the inauguration of President Harrison and the subsequent appointment of Mr. Huston to be United States Treas urer, the announcement was made, and gen erally regarded as authorized by the Presi dent, that all applications for local positions in the Hoosior State were to be referred to Mr. Huston, and that his indorsement on any application would be EQUIVALENT TO AN APPOINTMENT. Especially was this the understanding as regards to changes of fourth-class post masters. Until recently Mr. Huston's rec ommendations for these appointments has been regarded as final, and when ever he indorsed a man the applicant so indorsed has invaria bly been given the office. Recent ly, however, Chairman Michener, who suc ceeded Mr. Huston as the head of the Indiana State Campaign Committee, WTOte a letter to First Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Clarkson, informing him that he had had an understanding with President Har rison whereby, thereafter, no indorsement for the appointment of any aspirant to a fourth-class postoffice was to be honored ex cept when given by himself, Michener. Notwithstanding this notice from Mr. Michener, the Postoffice Department con tinued, as had been the practice, to recog nize Mr. Huston's indorsements. Seeing this, Chairman Michener is said to have ad dressed another letter to the Postoffice De partment officials, couched in ,, KATHEK SPTBTXED LANGUAGE, callscg attention to his former letter, and expressing his surprise that its contents had been ignored and the indorsements made by him left unacted upon, while those of Mr. Huston were invariably respected, and those whom he designated for appointment were given the offices. Mr. Huston, it is said, knew nothing of the cnangea arrangement, and continued sending down his recommendations to the Postoffice Department Noticing, however, that there seemed to be some hitch in getting Indiana cases acted upon, Mr. Huston sent his private secretary to the office of the ap pointment clerk of the First Assistant Post master General, to ascertain the difficulty. There were some ten or a dozen cases that seemed to have been pigeonholed, which Huston had sent down. The representative of the United States Treasurer was informed that his recommen dations could not be acted upon, nor the applicants whom he had indorsed ap pointed. He was informed, further, that the Department had been IN8TBUCTED TO HONOB only the recommendations of Mr. Michener, and as his recommendations in nearly all the pending cases were in conflict with those made by Mr. Hasten, the applicants indorsed by the latter wonld not be ap pointed. This, it is said, was the first inti mation that the ex-Chairman had received that the censorship had been taken away from him and accorded to the new Chair man. The complication has created a feeling among the Hoosier leaders. It is said that Mr. Michener will soon arrive in Washing ton to try and straighten out matters so that there will be a more amicable state of affairs in the President's "kitchen Cabinet" It is said at present that Mr. Huston refuses to make any more recommendations, and that he has discontinued all intercourse with the President In short, Huston has discontin ued his calls at the White House, and de clines all overtures from that quarter.

F0STEE HISSED. The W. C T. V. Convention Has no Sympa thy for Her or the Non-Partisan Amend men t The Latter Defeated by an Overwhelming Vote. Chicago, November 12. When the session of the Woman's Christian Temper ance Union Convention was opened to-day it was known that a storm was coming on, for during the session of yesterday, at the motion of Mrs. Aldrich and Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of Iowa, the consideration of the proposed non-partisan amendment to the constitution of the or ganization was set down for to-day. The amendment provides that the objects of the V. 0. T. TJ., shall be, "to interest and unite the Christian women of this nation in non-sectarian and non-partisan temperance work for the reformation of the intemperate and the education of publio sentiment in behalf of total abstinence and the prohibi tion of traffic in alcoholic liquors, the develop ment of social purity, the suppression of vice and crime and the ed ucation of the masses in the duties and responsibilities of the citizen." It was evident from the commencement of the debate that the feeling of the convention was overwhelmingly against the proposed amendment The delegates were not dis posed to listen to the speeches of the women who favored its adoption and several times there was hissing and cries of "sit down." In moving the amendment Mrs. Aldrich, of Iowa, said she wished the convention to ac cept it, becadse it was simply right and just and honest. She said there was no definite statement of the objects of the organization in the constitution. The W. C. T. U. women occupied an anomalous position because tbey declared themselves non-partisan and yet adopted the most bitter partisan resolu tions. The women associated in the organi- J zation naa political rignts, aitnougn not suffrage, and it was wrong for the majority to adopt resolutions binding all the women to support a certain political party. It was just as wrong for a woman to give away her political influenee as for a man to sell his vote. Mrs. Henry, of "Evanston, 111: Mrs. Wells, of Tenness'ee; Mrs. H. M. Barker, of South Dakota; Mrs. Perkins, of Ohio; Mrs. Buell, National Secretary, and others,spoke in opposition to the adoption of the amend ment as a reflection on the previous action of the union, and declaring that the union was non-partisan, being ready to support any partv which had put a prohibition plank in its platform. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster then spoke. She said the convention was partisan despite its declaration to the contrary. The names of honorable men in the Republican party had been dragged in the convention platform. "I repeat," she said; "that the convention is partisan partisan in feeling, partisan in its assaults on Republican statesmen." Hisses interrupted her. "Yes, and those hisses are partisan. They come from the delegates themselves and not from the spec tators." A motion was made to indefinitely post pone the discussion. It was voted down. The question was then called on the amend ment. About 50 voices cried for its adop tion, but the great bulk of delegates shouted against it. Miss Willard, as chair man, declared the amendment lost IOWA DELEGATES W1IHDBAW. Vice President Morton Strongly Denounced by the W. C. T. U. Convention. Chicago, November 12. The Iowa dele gation withdrew from the convention of the Women's Christian Temperance Union to-night Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, the Chairman of the delegation, arose and read a very long protest, after which the solid Iowa delegation rose and went out of the hall with Mrs. Foster. Miss Willard announced that the outcome had been long expected, and that the patience and forbear ance of the W. C. T. U. In the matter had no equal in history. On motion of Mrs. Lathrop, of Michigan, the convention authorized the Executive Committee to im mediately take steps to reorganize the union in Iowa. The convention adopted the fol lowing resolntion: Resolved, That we have what seems to ns to be amply sufficient proof that the Vice President of the United States has per mitted a bar in his new apartment honse, the Bhoreham House, at Washington, and we hereby express our amazement grief and condemnation that at this advanced stage of the temperance reform the second official of the Government should thus openly ally him self with the liquor dealers of the nation.

The result of the fight will have great influ ence on the primaries of next year. Griest's record is being raked over as with a fine tooth comb, and his enemies threaten a fight all along the line. i rSFXCIAZ, TXX.IOKAXTOTIIE SISFATCa.1 Lancasteb, November 12. There is no end to the political ferment occasioned by the semi-official announcement of Congress man Brosius that he has determined to rec ommend the appointment of Major Elwood Griest, editor of the Weekly Inquirer, as postmaster of Lancaster. When it was understood that Senators Quay and Cam eron had agreed upon Fridy for Collector of Internal Revenue, that was acknowledged to "settle it," and the appointment soon fol lowed. Bnt those who looked for Griest's commission to quickly follow Brosius an nounced determination have been disap pointed, and it is now recognized that if Wanamaker and Harrison finally accede to the wishes of the Republican Representative, it will only be after a most bitter and per sistent effort here to frustrate them. the peincipai, opposition. The backbone of the opposition to Griest is the hostility to him of Editors Geist, of the New 2a,"and Cochran, of the Examiner, and it is widely believed that the adminis tration does not care to encounter the an tagonism of the two daily party organs, even if Brosius is wiUing to be thus handi capped in his contest for renomination. Beside Griest, who is now known to have been picked ont for this place by Brosius, ever since the election, the leading candi dates for postmaster were John B. Rehm, Presiduit of the Young Men's Republican Club, the strongest political clnb in town; he Was also backed by Francis Shroder, one of the Lancaster county delegates to the lost Republican National Convention, and the most liberal local contributor to Repub lican campaigns; Charles E.

Griest has been steadily backed by the Martin-Mentzer-Kennedy faction, which claims to have Quay's ear, and which is planning to run Martin for Lieutenant Gov ernor and C. C. Eauffman for Senator in the Fourteenth district next year. This in itself would be enough to excite the ire of the Sensenig-Hartmon-Brown-zamtner faction; but, beside them, Griest has made many enemies and much antagonism in his party, which now unite to oppose him.

To some of the leaders Griest has given offense by his zealous support of the prohi bition amendment and policy, which is not regarded here as wise party politics. In others he has evoked opposition by his in terference in past, quarrels at the prima ries. Most conspicuous among the in stances of this was his rabid denun ciation of the late Senator Stehman, and his support of Summy, in the last effort to defeat Stehman. In that campaign, it will be remembered, Griest held the (2,600 sent him here to carry Columbia for Summy. Griest sent for ex-Senator Roebuck, and made him the emmlssary to secure ex-Sheriff Stein. Five hundred dollars of the money went to Columbia, but the deal fell through and the money was wasted.

Griest's record as County Treasurer, when the county auditors west for him, has also been raked up, and some other incidents of nis political career, against wnicn it was supposed the statute ot limitations had long ago begun to run. His friends, however, are no less active and aggressive, and are busy with counter-attack, and in securing editorial indorsement for their candidates, especially from the newspapers recognized as Quay organs. Most far-reaching in its influence is the effect of this quarrel upon the primaries of next year, when a full ticket is to be nomi nated. It Griest's appointment is secured by Brosius,- the latter will undoubtedly have a candidate against him and, the Nexo Era, his chief backer, will oppose him, on the ground that in dispensing patronage he has ignored publio considerations, scorned the demands ot business interests, and SACBXFICED EVEETTHING to bis own political advantage. This is the attitude of Editor Geist, and it is predicted he will make the fur fly. The Martin delegates to tbe State Conven- 'tiOn will also be antagonized, and there will be a fight all along the line. If Brosius should weaken, his present adherents will fall upon and rend him, and altogether his position is not a bed of roses. The names of Sheriff Burkholder, ex-Congressman A. Herr Smith, J. Hay Brown, J. W. B. Bausman and S. M. Seldonridge are canvassed among these who talk of opposition to him. IT WAS ALL A MISTAKE. Only a Little Glass Broken by the Jubilant Kentucky Democrats. Louisville, November 12. The citizens of Louisa, Ky., yesterday held an indigna tion meeting over the report sent from there that the DemociAts in celebrating the victo ries of November 5 had demolished tbe postoffice purposely and exposed the United States mails to robbery in their exultation over the postmaster, R. O. McClure. McClnre sent the statement to the Postmas ter General and asked for help. In a series of resolutions tbe meeting set forth that the damage was done by a mistake, as to the amount of dynamite that ould he safely used; that only three panes of glass, a tran som and a glass panel in a door were broken, and that the crowd at once made up" an amount double the damage done to pay for having it repaired. Tbe meeting therefore held that the reten tion of a postmaster who would send out so slanderous report about his community, bringing it into disrepute, would be a dis grace to the administration. A cepy of the protest was forwarded to the Poitmaotar JswraL ghts in sessj. SV9 Interesting First Day's Pro MitHrbiag: Elements to be WBl in the Meeting The W. T. U. Cordially Greeted by tbe K. ofX.

U "V"ttV Assembly of the Unlghts of Labor meeti in this city has created considerable of stir and renewed interest in this great orderJe The delegates in attendance are a body of thoughtful, earnest men, very conservative in their utterances. Ir conversation with them It is ascertained that the order is more powerful than ever before, though not so demonstrative in work, they are having a greater influence. Tbe first business meeting began promptly at 10 o'clock, with Mr. Powderly in the chair. The most important feature of the morning session was a telegram sent to Miss Frances E. Wi)lard, President of the Na tional "Women's Christian Temperance Union. The vote on the tetegrara was unani mous, and fraternal greetings were accord ingly wired Miss Willard at Chicago.

The sessions of the General Assembly were fixed from 9 to 12:30 in the forenoon and from 2 to 6 in the afternoon. The assembly reconvened at 2:30. -The first business was an action in the case of T. T. O'Malley, of D. A. 38. He had been admitted" n his credentials when a protest from -a local" connected with D. A. 38 was received, charging that O'Malley was not a proper prson to sit in the assembly because of his treachery, unfaithfulness, and avowed hostility to the order. After a patient hearing of the charges and defense, resolu tions not to permithim as & delegate to re main were adopted, and Mr. O'Malley was escorted from the halL This action is very significant of a determination to evict all discordant elements. Hon. L. F. Livingston, President of the State Farmers' Alliance, by resolution, was invited to address the Knights in mass meeting in this city. This action is taken to strengthen the fraternal bonds between these two powerful bodies. Congratula tions were telegraphed to the National Patrons of Husbandry, sow in session in Sacramento, Cal. STILL EXPLAINING. Chairman Conger Telia Why Feraker Was Defeated Ha Directly Contradict Congressman BBtterwor-9f c- KInley for Speaker. Chicago, November 12. Chairman Con ger, of the Ohio Republican Executive Com mittee, when asked about the effect of the Ohio election to-day said: ,. --, "Of course, we can all make guesses now as to what defeated the Republicans.?' Ha said it was a combine of several things. Foraker's stand on the liquor and Sunday closing --question lost him a large German vote. This same cause united the-liquor in terest to secure his defeat, and money was poured into the campaign fund by brewers and liquor dealers from all over the State. "What about the 'stranglers' to which Congressman Bntterworth ascribes a large portion of Foraker's defeat?" "Never heard of such an organization," said Colonel Conger, "and as Chairman of the Republican Committee I think I would have if there bad been any such factor at work in the campaign. At is nard to say who will be Senator. John E. McLean can have the place if he wants it If he does not take it, Brice can have it Chairman Neal and John Thomas are other probabilities. We think in Ohio that McKlnley will be the Speaker. I believe he lithe best qualified man in the Home. He is a splendid fighter. The contest will be a hard one. When they once get down to the fight I think the West will take the stand that it will go no further East than Ohio, the East will say that a Speaker shall notVome from a point further West than Ohio, and Mr. McKlnley will be Speaker."
