A CAUCUS GETS RANDALL'S ADTICE
The third day of the great fight in the
Honse of Bepresentatives, between the
Sneaker and the minority, was the stormiest
of all. It ended in the Speaker not even al
lowing a motion to adjourn to be made,
shortly aiter which Mr. Dalzell was allowed
to make his speech in the Smith-Jackson
contest. The Democrats are considering an
attempt to impeach the Speaker.
TitOM a stut coimnsrovDETr.l
"Washington, January 3L It would be
hard to find words to adequately express the
emotions ot the Democratic members of the
House daring these troubled times. The
rulings of Speaker Eccd haTe wrought them
up to ; most unwonted pitch. To say that
they are angry, raging, maddened, would
scarcely 'scribe their feeling", and the
worst of it is they are aware that they are
absolutely powerless to effectually combat
the majority under such leadership as
Eeed's.
That's what makes the whole thing smart
so. They hare been cudgeling their brains
to find out some means of getting eren, and
several plans have been suggested. One of
these was originated by Mr. Breckinridge,
of Arkansas, who unloaded the scheme to
a group of icilow Democrats this afternoon
after the House adjourned.
A SIotb to Impencb Herd.
This suggestion is that a, resolution be
drawn up, backed by all the Democrats in
the House, calling for the impeachment of
Speaker Reed on Constitutional grounds,
and declaring his seat as a Republican
of tne State of Maine vacant.
Although the resolution would never be
heard of again, probably,
after its introduction,
and could be productive
of no possible effect, yet
it is quite likely that a
resolution of that kind
may be presented just as
an indication of the in
dignation felt by its
framers. The very fact
urn -abe" that such a suggestion
Spoke Two Bout: , ,, , , .
should be made and re
ceived as worthy of attention shows to what
an extent the Democrats leel themselves
outraged.
The Second Proposed Flan.
Another suggestion is that the "visible
quorum," by which air. Reed is now trans
acting business, should be broken by every
Democratic member leaving the hall of the
House. Then, if the Republicans proceed
to have a call of the House, and instruct
the Sergeant at Arms to find and arrest the
absentees and bring them into the House,
the Democrats will resist such arrest, on
the ground that there being no rules, the
Speaker has no power to have them ar
rested. Still another plan which is being consid
ered, and practically decided upon, is this:
In the event that Jackson is turned out by
the operation of the Speaker's ruling and
the visible quorum, they will carry the
matter to the Supreme Court in some shape.
This course has been decided on after a con
saltation of the chief constitutional lawyers
among the Democrats of the two Houses'.
Against Law and Constitution.
This course will be based on the claim
that a sitting member can only be unseated
by a constitutional majority, and in a legal
way, and that the present course of the
Speaker and his iollowers is neither legal
nor constitutional.
" In the meantime, Jackson is to refuse to
recognize the action of the House in unseat
ing him, and is to continue his attendance
at its sessions. He is to attempt to partici
pate in the proceedings, and to refuse to
obey the Speaker's command to desist. If
removed by force or arrested, the case is to
be taken into the court.
A Interesting na Any.
The third day of the great parliamentary
fight in the House of Representatives was
fully as interesting us'either of its predeces
sors, so far as liveliness and disorder could
make it so. There was an air of expectancy
about the chamber and in the crowded gal
leries, indicating that few looked foi the
contest to cease with the Republican victory
of yesterday. Every one was looking for a
renewal of hostilities, and they were not
disappointed.
For the first hour or so things went along
with comparative quiet. The journal was
read, and to occupy time the Democrats de
manded the reading of the yea and nay
tiTotes taken yesterday. This was done, al-
w
though it took nearly an hour to accom
plish it. Then Mr. Springer headed off Mr.
McKinley's motion to approve the journal
by proposing to adjourn, and a roll call was
had upon the motion. Of course, it was de
feated. Then there was another yea and
nay vote on the approval of the journal, and
it was not until that was ended and the
Speaker was following his custom of an
nouncing the names of those present, but
not voting that the first turbulence was
manifested.
Sick and Tired of Tyranny.
Speaker Reed had overruled a motion of
Mr. Bland's, and that gentleman sprang to
his feet in a rage, declaring that the
Speaker's conduct was a tyranny of which
the House was getting sick and tired. This
remark was loudly cheered by the Demo
crats, while it elicited derisive laughter
from the other side. The Speaker on such
occasions has a delightfully cool manner,
smiles blandly, and goes on reading the
names of the refractory statesmen without a
tremor in his voice, and in very much the
tone of a schoolmaster setting tasks for
truant pupils.
A scene of the wildest excitement fol
lowed shortly after, when Mr. Bynum, of
Indiana, moved to adjourn. The Speaker
refused to recognize the motion, its object
being apparently for no other purpose than
delay. This was a new move on the part of
Speaker Beed, and struck atone of the most
cherished beliefs of the filibusters, that it was
always in order to move an adjournment.
Naturally, therefore, there was a wild howl
of rage when that ruling was made?
Called by Terr Herd Names.
Mr. Springer shouted out that this was
tyranny, pure and unadulterated. Some
body near him yelled: "It's more than that
it's damnable." There were at this mo
ment ten or a dozen men right in front of
the Speaker's desk, all trying to speak at
once. Back of them were their other 120
colleagues, all on their feet and. adding to
the pandemonium by shouts, yells, catcalls
and hisses. During a, momentary lull, Mr.
The Most Exciting Episo de
Mr. Btn dm (to the Speaker) Ton have
throne who did not make some feeble show of

The Speaker (to Mr. Bynum and Mr.
to be deceived by epithets.
Bynum added to the excitement by com
mencing a vigorous attack on the Speaker.
Hi strong language greatly tickled the gal
lery gods and goddesses, and they yelled
and screamed in chorus with the Democrats
on the floor. It was impossible for Mr. By
num to continue for several minutes. He
declared he was not going to be gagged, and
shaking his fist at Beed he said the Speaker
was violating more rules than anyone on
the floor and was being backed by a mob.
Couldn't Speak for Cheer.
Tempests of cheers arose from the crowd
surrounding the speaker at this remark, and
as he went on to denounce in unmeasured
terms the conduct of Speaker Reed he was
frequently interrupted in a similar way. In
fact, only a sentence or two could he speak
at a time, each sentence being sandwiched
between salvos of wild applause. His
speech was accompanied by the most em
phatic gestures of his huge fists, and he thus
always had a clear circle around him.
When he had finished, Speaker Beed,
child-like and bland, as though nothing had
happened, recognized Mr. Dalzell. to bring
np the contested election case, and that gen
tleman took the floor. There was some dis
position to annoy him with interrnptions,
bnt Mr. Crisp insisted on giving him a fair
Hearing. Thenceforward the session was
conducted in peace.
Sir. Dnlzell Presents Bit Case.
Mr. Dalzell presented the fact of the case
in a forcible and logical argument, lasting
two hours, and at its conclusion was the re
cipient of many congratulations. It had
been intended to try and finish the case to
day, but on account of Mr. Crisp having a
soi e throat he asked to be allowed to present
his side to-morrow, which was agreed to,
and the House adjourned. Lightner.

"Washington, January 31. A detailed
report of the proceedings in the House to
day is furnished by the press as follows:
The Clerk of the House proceeded in the
usual manner to-day. to read an abridged
journal, omitting the detailed vote. Mr. Bland,
of Missouri, demanded the reading of the doc
ument in full, and this was ordered by the
Speaker. The Clerk was proceeding to read
from the record the detailed votes of yesterday,
when Mr. Outhwalte, or Ohio, objected, and
demanded that the reading should be from the
original document. The bpeaker said that the
clerk was reading from the record as a mode of
convenience, but if the gentleman objected bo
might have bis way, and ho Instructed the
clerk accordingly.
The reading of the journal was not completed
until 12.50 o'clock, and immediately Mr. Mc
Klnley, of Ohio, moved that the journal he ap
proved, and on that motion demanded the pre
vious qnestion. Mr. Springer interjected a
motion to adlourn. saying tliat he did so to
enable the Ccmmiitee on rtules to bring in a
code of rales.
The bpeaker The gentleman is not in order
in speaking on a motion to adjourn.
Mr. Springer There are no rules for the
House.
The Speaker There are rules for the House.
Mr. Springer Where are tbeyT
.usuruui mi ruies uu govern parlia

declare that a motion to adjourn is not de

aware.
THE OLD TACTICS RESUMED.
Ibe motion to adjourn was lnt yeas 1S
na s 1 G2-.mil the question recurring on the de-
r0WlfmL
w wm
mand for the previous question, the yeas and
nays were ordered. The Democrats again pur
sued their policy of not voting, and the Speaker
once more pursued bis method of jotting down
the names of members present and not voting.
The vote having been taken, the 8peaker di
rected the Cleric to enter on the journal the
names of several members present but not vot
ing. Mr. Bland immediately arose and de
manded that the vote be announced before the
names were read, hut tho Speaker calmly Ig
nored him and proceeded to call the names,
notwithstanding Mr. Bland's vicorons protest,
in which be declared that tho Speaker might
bo deaf to his appeal, bnt that It was a tvrany
that this Honse was getting sick and tired or.
The Speaker, paying no attention to Mr.
Bland's indignation, directed the clerk to enter
the names of the following members on tne
journal as present and not voting: Messrs.
names. Bland, Breckinridge, of Arkansas; Mc
Rae, McCrearv. McMillin. Oates, OFerrall,
Outhwalte. Price. Bayers, Stewart, of Georgia;
Stone, of Kentucky. Tillman and Turner, of
Georgia. He then declared the demand for the
previous question carried yeas, 100; nays, 0
amid the loud protests ot tho Democrats.
The bpeaker (calmly) The previous question
is ordered and the question is on the approval
of the journal.
Mr. Bvnum. of Indiana, moved to adjourn,
but the Speaker declined to recognize him. and
again put the motion on the approval of the
journal. II ,
.Mr. Bland demanded the yeas and nays,
which were ordered, and ponding this, moved
to adjourn. Bnt the Speaker was deaf to wis
motion, which called forth the declaration
from Mr. Springer that this was tyranny sim
ple and unadulterated, and the further decla
ration from Mr. Bland that it was an outrage,
and that the House could not ne in a more de
moralized condition than the Speaker.
EEED'S LITTLE ilST AGAIN.
The roll was then called on the approval of
the journal, and tho old tactics were brought
into play.the Democrats refraining from voting
and the 8peaker keeping his list wherewith he
could count a quorum. The vote having been
completed, the Speaker handed his list to the
clerk to record as present and not voting. Ths
list was as follows: Messrs. Barnes.Breckinridge,
of Arkansas: Bynum. Chipman, Clements. Cul

Mr. Bynum then proceeded, amid much con

tho following words: "I propose to stand here
in behalf of the rights of my constituents. I
represent on this floor a constituency equal in
intelligence, equal in patriotism.

rules and parliamentary practice. You may

You have the power, backed by a mob on the

The Speaker Gentlemen will please refrain
from the expression of their opinions.
Mr. Bynum They may as well refrain. The
people of this country are witnessing these
proceedings. They hate spoken through tho

Applause on the Democratic side. Men have

Mr. Boutwell, of Maine, protested against the
gentleman from Indiana continuing.

hotel. Others interested in the wrecked in

statements as to their connection with the
affair.
tSFSCIiL TZLKQBJJt TO TUB DISPATCH.!
New York, January 31. "President"
Peter J. Clnassen, of the Sixth National
Bank, surrendered himself to United States
Marshal Jacobus, to-day, on condition that
he should not be taken to jail for the night,
which he spent at the Astor House. Insur
ance Broker George Hamilton Pell, accused
of helping to gut the Second National
Bank's vault, could not raise 525,000 bail,
and he remains in the Ludlow street jail.
There are developments which indicate
that James A. Simmons' turn is coming
next, bnt to questions whether or not Sim
mons and President Wallack, of the Lenox
Hill Bank, are "wanted," Marshal Jaco
bus, of course, has nothing to say. Re
porters could not get at those gentlemen to
day. It is believed that ex-President Charles H.
Leland, of the Sixth National, who says he
thonght he was handing the bank over to
honorable men, but who withdrew his own
deposits after he had so handed it over, will
see the propriety of returning the $650,000
which he got for his shares of the bank, and
it is likely that the bank's affairs will be
settled without loss to the minority stock
holders, as well as without loss to depositors
who did not withdraw their accounts.
no information offered.
The United States District Attorney's
office knows where the bonds taken from the
bank's vaults are, but on another question
of interest, namely, "What has become
ot the 1,035 shares of the bank's stock which
were turned over to Claassen and his asso
ciates?" no definite information has ye) been
offered.
The Lenox Hill Bank and the Equitable
Bank are, jt is believed, effectually wrecked,
and will not go on again. The Equitable
appears to have been o kind of burlesque, or
make-believe bank, with the usual man of
capital involved among associates ho must
have been a perpetual surprise to him.
A rigid policy of silence was adopted at
the Sixth National Bank, to-day. Informa
tion of every sort was refused, and Bank
Examiner Hepburn declined to see callers.
Instead of furnishing for publication, this
evening, a detailed statement of the bank's
conditions, as be promised the previous day,
Mr. Hepburn posted on the window about 5
o'clock, this notice:
No further statement about the condition of
this bank will be made public. A. foil report
of its condition will be sent to the Hon. E. S.
Lacy, Controller of the Currency, at Washing
ton. Ail desiring information should apply to
mm. ' t-t -,-r r - j,, "j'rf f
' o reason Apparent. -The
reason for this change of policy did
not appear It may have been received
from Washington or, more probably, it was
because it was believed negotiations which
aimed to secure a speedy settlement of the
bank's affairs would prove successful.
Mr. Hepburn woultfnot say whether Mr.
Leland or any of his friends had made a
proposition for a restoration of the bank's
credit. There is little doubt that such a
plan is under consideration, but it is not
within the power ot the bank examiner
to accept or reject any proposition. He
can act only as a medium in laying such a
plan be fere the Controller of the Currency.
It is also true that any arrangement for a
settlement except through a receiver must
be made at once in fact, before the week
ends, in the opinion of bank men who are
well-posted on the situation.
-.- Some friends of Mr. Leland are urging
him, it is said, to make good the deficiency
in the bank's assets, to the extent of the
proceeds on the sale of his stock, and to re
sume the presidency of the bank. Thev
believe that the bank's customers could be
retained under such an arrangement.
PUT SAFELY AWAY.
At 3 o'clock the remaining assets of the
bank, in specie, bonds and other securities,
were taken from the vaults by Cashier Cols
ton and two or three assistants. A car
riage was sent for, and the entire lot of
securities, in three or four large boxes and
some canvas bags, was pushed in it. Then
Mr. Colston and his assistants drove to the
Gallatin Bank and deposited all the prop
erty in its vaults. The examination of the
bank's books and of the assets was completed
late to-day, and Mr. Hepburn sent his report
to the Controller.
There were few complaints made nt the
bank itself by depositors to-day. It ap
peared, however, that the bank's vaults con
tained other securities beside its own. Dr.
W. T. Carmody, a veterinary surgeon, who
is a depositor, called to inquire about ?10,
000 in Chicago, Burlington and Qulncv
bonds, which he had deposited for safe
keeping. They were found to bo undis
turbed. It has been erroneously stated that the
conspirators secured more of the stock of the
Sixth National than 1,035 shares. This
number included 20 shares held bv two of
President Leland'cassociateson the Board of
Directors. Mr. Leland's actual holdings were
1.003 or 1,005 shares. The cashier of the
Chemical Batik was the only member of the
old board who did not sell oat. Of the re
maining stock of the bank, it is said that
Praneis Leland, President of the New York
County Bank, and brother of Charles H.,
owns 500 shares.
AN UNPLEASANT POSITION.
The feature of the case most commented
upon among bank men to-day was the situ
tion In which Charles H. Leland, ex-President
of the Sixth National Bank, finds him
self and his obligations, moral and legal.
It seems to be the prevailing opinion that
there 'exists a claim in equity, and in law
on the part of all the creditors of the bank
against Mr. Leland. The members of the
Clearing House committee fully expected to
receive from Leland, to-day, a definite pro
posal of some sort, which would enable
them to arrange with the Controller
of the Carreuov for. a speedy
liquidation of all claims, without
the delay and expense involved in a re
ceivership. Snch an arrangement was made
in the case of the Metropolitan Bank, with
pood results. But no communication,
direct or indirect, from Mr. Leland, had
been received by anv member o! the Clear
ing House, up to the close of business to
day. MB. leland's explanation.
Mr. Leland was at his home, 162 Madi
son avenue, all day. He was not ill, but
was engaged almost the entire day in con
sultation with his counsel and
his friends. Before hearing of
the insinuations, made against him
by Clawseti, Mr. Leland prepared
i
for publication a written statement. Ha
says he believed the stock was worth 5650,
because for three or four years part of it
had shown average earnings of 36 per
cent. Mr. Auchincloss, a director
of the Manhattan Bank, wanted to
buy Mr. Leland's stock a year or
a year and a half ago, and again recently,
and Mr. Leland wanted substantially this
price for it Substantially the same price
was named to Mr. "W. W. Ogden and to the
cashier of the Chase National Bank either
5600 or $650. Mr. Leland wanted to sell and
rest from his labors as a bank president, bnt
he wanted his price.
Mr. Leland discussed the bank affairs
briefly with a Dispatch reporter this after
noon. He said:
The public statement which I have prepared
I wrote at about 6 o'clock this morning, before
I had seen the newspapers or krew
all the points of criticism which had
been raised. I did not know that
Claassen had written to President Coe
of the American Exchange National, charging
that I knew that some of the funds used in
paying me for my stock were to be raised on
the bank's assets. That is an unmitigated He,
and the proof of It lies In the fact tbat there
were no bonds among the bank's
assets, such as Claassen cays I agreed
to receive in part payment for
my stock. I was paid in certified checks for
the full amount, and these checks were cashed
in the regular course of business. I had abso
lutely no reason for suspecting that the pur
chasers were not honorable men. It is true,
nevertheless, that they were the boldest gang
of rascaU I ever heard of.
HIS FUTURE COURSE.
"What course do you intend to adopt in the
matter now 7"
"I propose to meet every legal and moral
obligation which the situation imposes. I un
derstand that such of the conspirators
as have not been arrested have fled.
I am here, and I intend to stay
here. I have already slid more to you than to
any other man since this trouble began, and,
under the circumstances, I teel bound to act
under the advice of my counsel, and make no
further statement."
President Tappan, of the Gallatin Bank,
said that he had Mr. Leland's assurance
that he would protect the depositors of the
Sixth National against loss, and he had no
doubt whatever that that would be done.
CLAASSEM'S CLAIMS.
The Alleged Bank Wrecker Makes a State
ment to the Public Ho Claims That He
Has Done Nothing Criminal.
NewYork, January 31, At about noon
to-day a well dressed man walked into
Kiernan's News Agency on Broad street:
He had a shrewd, but disagreeable face.
He was apparently about 45 years of age.
He announced himself as Peter J. Claassen,
President of the Sixth National Bank, and
told the group of astonished employes that
he had a statement to make. He dictated
the following, after which he calmly walked
out of the office:
'To the Public: As the President of tho
Sixth .National Bank of tho city of NewYork,
I desire to make a statement that I deem due
to my family, mv friends and myself.
It is not true that I was a member of the syn
dicate that purchased the controlling Interest
In the Sixth National Bank. It is not true tbat
Imade any loan to myself in said bank. On
the contrary, I have checked on my other per
sonal bank accounts in this citv, and have de
gosited to my credit in the Sixth National
ank and have checked not one cent against it
AN INNOCENT DIRECTOR.
It is due to my friend. General James Jour
dan, for me to say that be consented to become
a'directorin the Sixth National Bank at my
urgent request He has not qualified as such
director, nor has he attended any meetings at
the bank whatever. He, finding from his en
gagements, that he would not bo able to go so
far np town when be would be needed, sent me
his resignation as a director on last Tuesdaj.
The same may be said as to tho position of Mr.
Henry C, Cutter, with the exception that be la
Mr. Simmon's friend instead of mine, as Gen
eral Jourdan is.
The first time that I saw Mr. Leland, the late
President of the Sixth National Bank, was on
January 22, at U A. Jr.. when certified checks
were tendered to him and accepted by him
amounting to 650,000, for which be turned over
the control of the stock of the bank.
These checks were deposited by him in the
-umou xrusi company ana werepaia. xiene
Iwas not a member of tho purchasing syndi
cate all the terms had been arranged and
agreed to before I ever met him. Afterward,
this payment being satisfactory to Mr. Leland,
be procured the resignation seriatim. of the old
Board of Directors, and as they resigned the
new board took their places seriatim, one
member at a time. Thereupon, Mr. Leland
tendered his resignation as President, and I
was elected nnanimously in his place.
THE DEAL COMPLETED.
On the morning of the 23d, by an arrange
ment with Mr. Leland, I met him between 10
and 11 A. M. at the National Park Bank vaults,
where he turned over tome the securities be
longing to the Sixth National Bank, and I,
finding them correct, receipted therefor.
Either the same afternoon or on the follow
ing day, in conference with the cashier, Mr.
Colson, I learned that the bank lacked cash
means, and he suggested, and I con
curred with him, that it would be
well to dispose of say from 5500,000
to 600.000 worth of the high premium
bonds ami have the cash therefor, for the use
of the customers of our bank. My intentions
were to nise the surplus of the bank up to at
least 250,000 and so be able to accommodate
our depositing customers, with ease to Our
selves and with convenience to them.
I then stated to the cashier that before I
should call any of these securities I would
have to consult with thn directors as well as
with the gentlemen who owned at least 80 per
cent of the controlling stock purchased, and I
did so consult them. They also fully concurred
in the plan, and I was requested to intrust the
sale of these bonds by these gentlemen to Pell.
Wallack & Co., who received thereupon 622,000
par value of these bonds to be sold, for which
they gave their receipt to tho bank, which I
duly turned over to the cashier.
THOSE CERTIFIED CHECKS.
Subsequently 201 of these bonds were re
turned, SoO.OOO in cash was paid, and for the bal
ance Pell, Wallack & Co. gave checks, mostly
certified, to the bank on last Tuesday, January
2b; but the bank Examiner, as well as the Clear
ing Honso Committee, declined to accept these
checks as payment. About 300.000 of these
checks were certified by the banks upon which
tbey wero drawn.
It subsequently developed that tbey bad been
sent to the Clearing House and in the usual
course and order of business they would have
been paid, it will, therefore, readily appear
that I had no proceeds from these bonds that
I did not account for, and tlio checks thus far
not covered by Pell, Wallack & Co. are still
due to the bixth National Bank.
It will also be seen tbat tho bank's assets
were not used to purchaso the stock. 1 farther
desire to say that I am not a director nor Vice
President of the Equitable Bank, nor am I such
in the Lenox Hill Bank. P. J. Claassen,
President Sixth National Bank.

A HIGH TKIBDTE TO MISS DREXEL.

Archbishop Byan, of Philadelphia, is
deeply interested in the welfare of the col
ored race. In an interview with a Dis
patch correspondent he says Mis3 Drexel,
now Sister BTatherine, will not only fonnd a
colored mission in the City of Brotherly
Love, but also similar ones in other cities.
He pays a high tribute to Sister Katherlne's
charity and goodness of heart
rnnciAL TKLEonxu to nil DisrxTcn.t
Philadelphia, January 31. A few
months ago a colored mission was estab
lished in this city at the corner of Ninth
and Pine streets. It is in charge of Bev. P.
A. McDermott, C. S. Sp., formerly ot Pitts
burg. Becently the institution was given
the name of St. Peter's Claver's Mission for
Colored People of Philadelphia. The in
stitution comprises within its limits a beau
tiful little chapel, where two masses are
celebrated every Sunday for the colored
people.
A school for boys, with an attendance of
nearly 100, and 8 girls under the care of the
Sisters of Notre Dame, comprise the school,
to which is attached a night school, taught
by a number of experienced teachers.
Archbishop Byan is the patron and pro
moter of this enterprise. In an interview
to-day he said: "I am deeply interested in
the welfare of the colored race."
THE ARCHBISHOP'S APPEAL.
He then called attention to an appeal for
assistance which has been issued by himself
and Father McDermott, during the past
week. The circular sets forth that the mis
sion recently established in this city has
been silently but successfully progressing.
After speaking about the difficulties and
obstacles in establishing the mission, the
Archbishop said: '"To our surprise and
dismay, we are confronted bv a series
of sensational reports that havo
not only been utterly groundless in the
statement, but have proved most injurious
in their interpretations. It was said, for in
stance, that large sums of money had been
lavishly donated for the purpose ot under
taking the work ot the colored mission, and
that we could easily afford to dispense with
the generous contributions of the charitable
faithful. Many, indeed, of those who have
seen and credited such unwarranted reports
have not, perhaps, had an opportunity of
seeing or hearing them contradicted.
WHERE HONOR IS DUE.
"It is an undoubted fact that the mainten
ance and development of the Catholic faith
among colored people of our sister States
owes much to the generosity of the city and
diocese of Philadelphia. Missionaries have
come here and solicited aid for their good
work in the trne emancipation of the race
under the guidance and within the pale of
the church that recognizes no distinction of
race. This may be illustrated by the ex
ample of St. Polycarp, ot Smyrna, who,
after he was sold and bought in the market
of Smyrna, was raised to the episcopal
dignftjnn the same city.
"The colored people of our city have cer
tainly strong claims upon us," said the
Archbishop. "They need pur assistance.
ana above an, tnat am in a religious ana
moral noint of view."
On beingj asked if a Catholic church
wonld be built for the colored people, he re
plied: "That will come hereafter. At pres
ent our attention is directed toward the in
stitution at Ninth nnd Pine streets."
miss drkxel's missions.
In regard to the report that Miss Drexel
wonld found a mission for the colored and
Indian people, he referred to his opening
address at the Baltimore Centennial cele
bration, "As I believe that the negro
slavery and the unjust treatment of the
Indians are the two great blots upon Ameri
can civilization, so I feel that the church
has the most reasonable cause for regret in
regard to our past century, in the fact that
we could have done so much more for the
same dependent classes. Let us now, in the
name of God, resolye to make reparation for
the shortcomings of the past. On the very
threshold of this century I lately beheld a
scene prophetic of this reparation. In the
qniet Convent of Mercy, Pittsburg, I could
well imagine, ranged on each side of that
chapel, the representatives of the different
races. On the one side the Indians and the
colored, and on the other side the white race
that oppressed both. They the oppressors
and the oppressed gazed on each other with
fraternal love.
A FAIR VISION.
"And then I saw going out from the ranks
of the white race a fair young virgin. Ap
proaching midway between the contending
lines, she knelt before an illumined altar of
God of all races and of all men, and offered
her great fortune, her life, her love, her
hones, her ambitions for the Indians and
colored people. Bhe seemed the prophetess
of reparation and conciliation between the
races.
"Silently she offered her young heart to
God, and prayed that he wonld accept her
sacrifice, and tbat until the grave shall re
ceive her all she possesses now or shall pos
sess in the future may belong to God and
tho Indians and colored people. She hopes
that other fair young Christian maidens
may unite with her, and thus inaugurate
the great work of reparation and help to
render it perpetual."
HER ALL FOR CHARITT.
On being asked if he thought Miss Drexel
would found an institution in this city, the
archbishop said: "Yes; notonly in thiseity,
but in diG'erent parts of the United States.
Miss Drexel, when she has completed her
novitiate, wilt devote her time and fortune
to the founding of institutions for the
the Indians and colored race."
Miss Drexel, or gow Sister Katharine, is
nt present passing through her novitiate in
Pittsburg, and is sajd to be the most fervent
and exemplary novice in the Institution.

ISrZCtAL TELEOBAM TO TUB DISFATCn.l
Burlington, Ia., January 31. While
Mrs. Schumann, a handsome young lady of
this city, was passing down a side street to
day, returning home from an errand down
town, she was assaulted by a stranger, who
stepped up behind her and grabbed her
about the body with 'me arm, while with
the other he whipped out a long, ugly-looking
butcher knile or shoe knife, and rapidly
cut the young lady's hair from her head.
Thrusting the mass of golden locks into a
bag, be quicklv disappeared.
The young lady, although rather strong
and healthy, was so paralyzed by the sud

she could do nothing, and did not even
scream or struggle. No trice can be found
of her assailant, and it it supposed he is of

Edmunds is a brother of the well-known
Henry Edmunds, and is clerk in the Me
chanics Bank. He prides himself on being
an "P. P. V." and fs a devoted beau, as is
also Louis Hough, who is a son of ex-Judge
"Warwick Hough, of the State Supreme
Court, and is an embryotio disciple of JEs
culaplus. The difficulty arose over the al
leged action of young Edmunds in stating
that Hough had wooed and won a popular
society belle, the daughter of the wealthy
President of a transportation company, and
that they bad plighted their troth.
The other day as Edmunds was passing
through Yandeventer Place, one of the most
fashionable quarters of the West End, he
was confronted bv young Hough and the
young lady Involved: Hough halted Ed
munds and said: "I understand you have
stated that this young lady and myself are
engaged to be married."
"I merely repeated what' I had heard,"
coolly responded Edmunds, passing on his
way.
Yesterdav Hough went to the Mechanics
Bank and demanded that Edmunds should
apologize to the young lady. This Ed
munds declined to do, whereupon Hough
declared that if Edmunds would step out
side the counter he wdnld wipe up the bank
floor with him. To this Edmunds responded
that fist fighting was vulgar and he pre
ferred pistols. Arrangements were per
fected for a meeting on the field of honor,
two well-known society youths agreeing to
act as seconds, and the battle ground chosen
was Normandy Heights, one of the western
suburbs of the city, the hour being 3:30 this
afternoon. The principals did not put in
an appearance at the hour designated, and
to-night it is stated that the fathers of the
two chivalrous young men have taken a
hand in the quarrel and prevented any
bloodshed.

AFTER CHEAPER FREIGHT RATES.
A Conference of Pittsburg- Coal Men With

New York, January 31. "W. P. De Ar
mitt, A. A. Andrews, A. Dempster, D. M.
Anderson, N. E. Sanford, J. M. Hall, J. C.
Dysart and P. L. Bobbins, all of Pittsburg,
are at the Brunswick. The above gentle
men are all representatives of different coal
companies, and are extensive shippers by
rail and lake navigation into the West.
Their mission here is to meet some of the
principal railroad men upon whose roads
coal is shipped and to arrange a schedule of
rates for the ensuing year. The meeting
will be held at the Clarendon, and it is
thought a lower scale of prices will be
agreed upon by both railroads and shippers.
The freight traffic from Pittsburg west has
become large, and this meeting is to effect a
lower rate if possible.
Mr. Do Armitt, of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal Company, says the coal
outlook is good, and that the companies are
all busy. Mr. Andrews argues that the nat
ural gas will give out in a short matter of
time, and the manufacturing interests will
return to coal, which will jump up in price
like the mercury in midsummer.

for the anti-revisionists, and several strong
speakers on the side of revision were heard.
A vote will be taken Monday.
.SPECIAL TTXIOBJJf TO TOTS DISPATCH. I
New York, January 31. A larger audi
ence than on any previous day listened to
day, to the New York Presbytery's debate
in the Scotch Church, on the revision of the
"Westminster confession. The Bev. Dr.
Bossitur advocated the adoption of the com
mittee's report, which leaves reprobation
out of the confession and suggests other rad
ical changes. In the course of his remarks
he said: "If we deny revision, I am going
to preach a doctrine of full salvation, as I
have been doing the past 16 years."
The Bev. J. H. Hoadle'y said that the
committee's report proposed to scrape off
the barnacles that have fastened themselves
on the good shipofZion and impede its prog
ress. Speaking of the objectionable doc
trines of the confession he said: "Ministers
do not and cannot teach them. I never in
my life heard a sermon setting forth one of
these objectionable doctrines, and I doubt if
any one in this church has. I never have
preached and never can preach these
things.
WOULD NOT HEAR HIM.
"I have preached to audiences before now
which would not stay to hear what is con
tained in the third chapter of the confes
sion, and before getting out themselves,
they would put me out. I would not blame
them, for the man who preaches these things
does not preach the gospel. They form no
part of the message of salvation, which, in
the angel's song, 13 called 'good tidings of
great joy.' Is it glad tidings to know that
God from all eternity created men and
infants that he might damn them? A
doctrine that cannot be preached ought to
be kept out of the confession of faith."
The Bev. Dr. John Hall now took the
floor against the adoption of the commit
tee's report He said: "I intend to ap
Eeal to the reason and judgment of my
carers. It is alleged, in favor of there
vision of the confession, that the conditions
under which we live have changed, and
that a missionary work confronts us which
is not recognized in it
FAITH oe dutt.
"Now, is it a confession of faith we are
talking about, or a confession of duty? If
we want to make it one of duty, then let us
insert in it a plank about prohibition, or
one about hospital Snnday, and so on. Bnt
I believe it is a contession of faith, and not
an ethical statement of the duties of the
Church, and that, should we alter it, we
would depart from the creeds of all the
Evangelical churches'.
"The doctrine of Chnst passing by some
has been represented as a stumbling- block,
which ought to be removed. Now, we are not
told in the Bible to modify- doctrines lest
they should be stumbling blocks; the stum
bling blocks it speaks of are entirely differ
ent Hence, this argument has no weight
in my mind."
Dr. Hastings, as a preface to his final ar
gument for the support of his committee,
said: "I am not here as a representative of
the Union Theological Seminary, but as a
representative of the committee, otherwise I
might resent the discourtesy of a man get
ting the floor by privilege of the house, at
Mr. "Van Bensselaer did, and then slander
ing its professors. But I pass it by."
After .referring to the debate as the ablest
and best-tempered be had ever known in this
city, he said: "I wish I could see more in
Dn Hall's address calling for reply; it is
hard to answer anything unless there is
something to answer laughter beside heat
and rhetoric."
Voting on the adoption of the report will
begin on Monday.
A GIGANTIC SCHEME.
Flan of a Canadian Engineer to Enlarge th
Dominion Canal System.
nrrSCIAX. TILEOBJJt TO IDI DISrATCH.1
Toronto, Ost., January 31. Henry K.
Wicksteed, a civil engineer of Brantford,
Ont, has a gigantic scheme that is little
short of astounding. He proposes that the
Dominion Government should enlarge the
Canadian canal system at a cost of (70,000,
000, so as to afford ocean-going
vessels access to the great inland
lakes. The object of the scheme,
Wicksteed says, is to benefit the North
west, and secure cheaper transportation of
produce. Bailways, he says, cannot afford
to have freight at much less than one-half to
one-third a cent per ton per mile, and they
carry it at an average rate of 15 miles per
hour. Ocean steamers, moving at least-two-thirds
that rate, coula carry and make
money at one-twentieth a cent, or a little
more. Hence, he maintains it is a foregone
conclusion that if we could take ocean
steamers from Montreal to Chicago, Mil
waukee Duluth and Port Arthur, they
would carry nine-tenths of the grain trade,
at any rate. They would also get most of
the traffic that now goes by American
routes.
Beside all this, Mr. Wicksteed sees an
other advantage in bis scheme. He does not
wish nor anticipate, he says, a quarrel with,
our cousins over the way, but some people
live with fear of such collision, apparently
ever before their eyes, and to snch thr pos
sibility of half a dozen warships turning
their guns upon Chicago three or four days
atter a declaration of war would be some
thing worth to their millions of dollars of
peaceful commerce.
