M'KINLEY'S PET MEASURE.

AMALGAMATION OF THE UNIONS
Will be One of the Principal Topics of Dis
cnssion for To-Day's Session.
THE DAI SPENT IS COMMITTEE WOEK
The fifth day's session of the Ame rican
Flint Glass "Workers' Union was devoted
principally to committee work. A resolu
tion was passed indorsing the glass schedule
in the Mclunley tariff bill. The amalga
mation of the two unions is being actively
discussed, but nothing will be accomplished
this session. Steubenville, O., is in tne
lead as the next place of holdin g the con
vention.
rSrECtAI. TELrORAM TO THE CTSFATCB.
Baltimore. JId July 11. To-day's
session of the American Flint Glass "Work
ers' Union was taken up almost entirely by
committee work, several of which reported.
They were the engraving, cut
ting, auditing, lampworkers, and mold'
makmir committees. The latter recom
mended that all molds made in union
shops shall be stamped with a die furnished
by the national organization to each local,
one for every mold-making shop under its
jurisdiction, the seals to be uniform, and to
be paid for by the employers. Any
mold not impressed with this
stamp shall not be worked in
any glass works under the jurisdiction
of the union. This will not apply to the
molds made previously to the adoption of
the resolution. Heretofore there had been
no uniform way of distinguishing union
made molds from non-union made molds,
and often confusion ensued. These were
the only changes suggested by this com
mittee, and they were adopted.
riECE "WOKK AND NOT DAT.
The report of the Engravers' Committee
contained but one suggestion as to changes
and this was that no mbre day work shall be
permitted. Piece work shall be the rule,
but this shall not apply to working fore
men. Formerly in several factories,
day work was the rule, but it
is expected to do away with
it and stick to piece work, which is calcu
lated to be more beneficial to the men. The
employers a not antagonistic to this. The
remainde of the list is the same as that
agreed on at the conference between em
ployers ''and men in Pittsburg in the month
of April.
The Auditing Committee reported the re
port of the officers correct in every par
ticular. The cutters recommend no important
changes iu their way of working.
SAMPLES OF ALL GLASS WARE MADE.
The tables and desks of each committee
room are crowded and piled.with samples,
photographs and catalogues of ware. The
stuff came by express in carloads.
This is in accord with a law
passed at the last convention. Before
now many disputes arose as to what place
in the list some article in question should
occupy, and often alter hours had been lost
in contention, the disputants each found
that they had a different article in mind.
The present idea has cured all this, and
much time has been saved in consequence.
The samples represent a valuable collection
ol ware.
By to-morrow morning the Castor Place
Committee is expected to report They ad
vocate no great changes in that department
which takes in all hand-made work, such as
druggists' ware, where "leg and feet" and
"bits" are added.
AS INCREASE IN WAGES.
One change will be suggested that will
raise the wages of servitors and gatherers
on figure shade, shops such as are made in
window glass houses, and which are used
to cover artificial fruit bassets, statues,
eta The raise will practically only affect
the East, where most ot this work is made.
It will amount to about 20 per cent.
The prescription shade chimney, iron and
paste moid grievance, estimating and offi
cers' reports' committee will not be ready to
report for a few days yet
A resolution wll be offered and probably
carried to pay apprentices who voluntarily
went out on strike with the blowers a few
years ago all the money forfeited by them to
the different firms to which they were in
dentured. INDORSING THE M'KIKLET BILL.
The convention went further to-day in the
-tariff matter by indorsing explicitly the
jrlass schedule or the McKinley tariff bill.
Jt had already been decided to send a com
mittee to "Washington, but they were not to
insist on any particular bill so'long as they
secured a good glass schedule, but to-day
they came out decidedly. The resolution
given below was offered by a delegate from
Labor Union No. 6, of Pittsburg.
Rtsolred. That the American Flint Glass
"WorKers Union in convention assembled, do
Indorse the schedule of tbe McKinley bill and
exert Its efforts for its passage.
After all committees have reported the
amendment sheet will be taken up. One
local suggests that tbe present system of
electing national officers be changed. At
present thev are nominated and elected
in convention. The plan proposed
is to nominate in convention
and submit the names of the vote of the
-whole trade, tbe officers to be elected in Sep
tember of each vear and to take offices in
January. At present they are installed im
mediately alter election.
TLACE OF THE NEXT CONVENTION.
Already there is talk going on as to where
the next convention shall be held. Brook
lyn, 27. Y., can have it, but its delegates
are not anxious. Zanesville and Findlay,
O-.are aftcrit. Findlay citizens are ready to
subscribe several thonsand dollars to have it
brought tncre. Steubenville seems to be in
most favor. For the past two years her
claims have been superseded, and as she is
one of the oldest glass towns in the country,
her claims are likely to be recognized.
No adjournment is looked for before Tues
day. The SLO00 insurant fnnH will lil-plv
pass from union control, and be taken in
charge by a company of glassworkers, who
will conduct it on business principles.
The Green Glass Convention has not yet
gotten down to real business, and the me'm
berssay that unless the rate of progress is
accelerated they will not get finished up be
fore another week has expired.
The case of John Coffey. ex-Master "Work
man, who was suspended from that position
last winter, will not be decided until all
other business is transacted. The delegates
will take an excursion to Annapolis to
morrow. AGAINST AMALGAMATION.
From what can be learned there will be
no'effort to amalgamate ,,Uo the American
Flint Glass Workers' Union. Pittsburg
local 6111 is red hot for amaleamation but
other western places won't have it. The
"Western men, too, lavor the project,
out there are some things which
make it impossible for them
to take the step at this time. They are
however, ready to enter the American Fedl
eratioa of Labor, and a resolution will be'
offered to that effect. "What its fate will be
is hard to conjecture. It may create a rup
ture. Although no effort looking to a ?lrect
amalgamation is likely to be made, still the
green men have appointed a committee to
visit the flint men to-morrow to request the
appointment of ,a like committee of
flint men to conter with the pur
pose of bringing about closer relations
between tbe two bodies. The flint commit
tee will probablv be appointed, and the
green men will, without doubt, extendoffi
cial thanks tor the financial assistance given
them in their lockout last winter. They are
also instrncted to ask for an mter
chanpoaWd rrd. This eveninc indica
tions are it will be opposed by
the flint men, who hold that
by the arranrement they have everything to
lose, while the green men have everything
to gain. In the flint trade there is .a short
age of a " large number of men,
while the green trade has a sur
plus; to have an interchangeable
card would fill these positions with tbe
green glass men, while the flintworkers are
not too sure that this shortage will last.
The M avor addressed the green conven
tion to-day. The Improved Gieen Glass
Pressers League are holding a very quiet
convention.

THOROUGHBREDS ARE BEST.
The Popular Idea Tb.it Cars Make the Best
Trick Dogs Exploded.
1'hIIadclpala Press.
Said an experienced dog fancier yester
day: There is a great deal of nonsense in
the paragraph going the rounds of the
newspapers that mongrel dogs are the best
adapted for learning tricks and lor perform
ances on the stage. The paragraph to
which I allude states that tbey are more in
telligent, learn quicker and are more docile
than thoroughbred animals. That is all an
absurdity. It is true that many dog train
ers who are giving stage performances have
monerrels among their canine troupe, but
that is because when tbey started in the
business they were generally too poor to
nay the prices which the fine bred dogs are
held at.
"But for really teachable dogs commend
me to the blooded ones all the time. To say
nothing of Joseph K. Emmet's "Phinlim
mon' and Charles Arnold's 'Lion,' which
are the best performing dogs before the pub
lic, every trainer of any importance now
has "a majority of thoroughbreds in his
string. He finds that they possess the finer
intelligence and do not require near so
much instrnction as their cur substitutes in
order to go through with their feats. Fox
terriers are the easiest taught, and next
aiter them come in succession the various
breeds ot spaniels, terrier-:, except the bull
terrier, and Saint Bernards."

wounded had been conveyed to hospitals.
The victims were now more accessible, the
fire having been extinguished by the in
rushing of the river when! the Tioga's stern
finally settled to the muddy bottom of the
river.
KECOVEBING THE BEAD.
The stream is not a deep one, the steamer's
decks were still several feet above the sur
face of the river. One by one the chastlv
corpses were slowly recovered and carried
sadly into the dimly-lighted freight shed on
the dock. In a little office nearby sat Mr.
T. T. Morford, western agent ol the Erie
Railway Company, to whom the Tioga be
longed. He was dividing his time between
helping identify the dead and answering
questions as to losses and insurance.
QIAbont 575,000, it was estimated would
cover the damage to vessel and cargo. This
amount was believed to be fully insured.
The latest reports placed E. Fitzgibbons.
a waiter from Buffalo, a3 among the killed.
Engineer Haig was yet alive, but with no
chance of ultimate survival. Frank Burns,
a steamfitter, was reported shortly before
midnight as missing and probably dead.

David McNeal, of Buffalo, Thomas Col
lins and James O'Donnell. All were seri
ously burned and mangled, bnt will re
cover. MORE OP THE MEN LOST.
Additional names of colored stevedores
supposed to have been killed, were as fol
lows: Walter Dukes, Henry "Weatherspoon,
John Goff, Jacob Churl, Alexander Smith,
J. Braxton and Charles Foster.
A clearer idea of the cause of the explo
sion was obtained about midnight, when the
vessel's boiler and the nature of the cargo
could be examined. The boilers seemed
intact. Tne cargo was kerosene
gasoline and cotton. Inferences were drawn
that the leaking of kerosene saturated the
cotton and generated noxious fumes. "When
lanterns were taken into the hold to enable
the stevedores to work the lights, instead of
being an aid to the unfortunate toilers,
proved tneir destruction.
A BRIDGE GIVES WAY
AND THROWS SEVEN HUNDRED PEOPLE
INTO THE SEA.
Tbe Pnrllcnlar or n Terrible Disaster at
Dartmouth, X. S. Heartrending Scenes
of Attempt to Sure Life Fortnnato Es
cape of n Larffe Number.
Halifax, N. S., July 11. A terrible
accident ocenrred in Dartmouth to-night,
by which a number of people were drowned;
but the exact number of the victims
will not be known till to-morrow. The
disaster happened by reason of the
chain attached to a ferry float slipping out
of place and allowing the front of the bridge
to sink and precipitate the crowd of COO or
700 men, women and children into the water.
The people were crowded there waiting
for the new ferry steamer Annex,
just arrived from New York, to dock.
When the steamer got within two
, feet of the landing a number of persons
jumped on board and at that moment the
accident occurred. The outer end of the
bridge went down suddenly and the horror
stricken crowd slipped off into the harbor
as though they were descending a slide,
piling on top of each other, shrieking for
help and scrambling for a means of safety.
For some minutes there was a confused
mass of men and women and children
struggling in the water, but the accident
had hardly happened before a dozen brave
youths and men leaped to the rescue with
out waiting to throw aside their clothes.
The drowning people were rapidly passed
up to the men standing above on the
wharves, and the rapidity with which the
divers performed their work resulted in sav
ing a great majority of those who fell in
from death.
There were many able swimmers in the
party, and these worked till exhausted,
helping the people to land until there
were no more in sight on tbe snrface,
and those who could not be saved
had sunk out of sight. When the crowd
slipped off the landing stage the people
around, numbering some hundreds, crowded
to the sides of the wharf and threw sticks
and boards to the struggling mass in the
water, while a number of life pre
servers were thrown to tbem from the
steamer. Many people were struck and in
jured by flying boards. Statements of
spectators show that most of those who fell
in were women and children, and the scenes
immediately following the disaster were
frightfnl.
Several men and their wives were thrown
in and the former struggled heroically to
save their loved ones, succeeding in every
instance as far as known. A woman named
Logan was thrown into the water, with a
young child in her arms and her efforts to
preserve the life of the infant were heart
rending. Both were finally brought ashore
alive. When all those in sight bad been
brought to land the work ot grappling for
the drowned ones was commenced. Within
two hours four bodies had been recovered,
but up to midnight no other victims had
been lound. It is believed that at least three
or four were lost, but the exact number can
not be told at present.
Intense excitement prevailed in Dart
mouth and Halifax when the news of the
disaster spread, and thousands flocked to
the scene, where they remained till a late
hour watching those working in the water.
Owing to the confusion, it is impossible to
tell who are missing, but the number can
not be large. Divers are now searching
under the water for further victims.

Haverhill, Mass, July 1L Captain
Nicholas Costello, the oldest citizen of
Haverhill, if not in New England, died this

After many postponements and denials it
seems that Mrs. Frank Leslie will be
married to the Marquis De Lenville in a
few days. A license was secured for to-day,
but afterward canceled.
BT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMFANT.l
London, July 11. The rumor regarding
the Leuville-Leslie marriage is strictly
accurate, although denied by Mrs. Frank
Leslie. On Thursday evening the Marquis
De Leuville applied for a special marriage
license at the Victoria Street Registry office,
in which street he had lived for years. He
said that the case was urgent, as the mar
riage was arranged to take place at the
Registry office in the vestry hall of St.
Georjre's, Hanover square, at 9 o'clock on
Saturday morning, as the bride and bride
groom were leaving for America.
This license was canceled to-day, and the
marriage postponed for a tew days. The
legal form of the application reads:
"William Olliver, Marquis De Leuville, 43
vears of age, for several years resident at 98
Victoria street." Signed Lenville. Tne
lady is described , as "Frank Leslie, widow,
resident at the Gosveuer Hotel."
Mrs. Leslie had, in fact, been living at
the Bnrlyigtnn Hotel, and was there last
Thursday. Her new residence is within 300
vards of the Marquis' lodging, while the
Burlington is more than a mile awav. The
greatest secrecy and mystery have been
maintained.
FIGHTING THE NEW TARIFF.
Tbe Honse of Common Tnko a Slap at Mc
Klnley's Pet lUcnsore.
London, July 1L Mr. Vincent askedin
the House of Commons to-cay whether in
view of the free market accorded to Ameri
can imports in Great Britain, while the
heavy duties imposed on British goods in
the United States have nearly extinguished
thejiational debt of that country, the Brit
ssh Government would invite the United
States Government to refrain from passing
the prohibitory tariff bill now before Con
gress and instead adopt a measure giving
fair commercial reciprocity.
Sir James Fergusson, Under Foreign Sec
retary, replied that no such representations
were likely to be successful.
Mr. Vincent Then does the Government
know what action Germany proposes to take
in response to theappeals of German traders
regarding the effect of the new American
tariff? Could not advantage be taken of
tbe present friendly relations to develop
free trade between England and Germany as
well as between Great Britain and the colo
nies as a set-off against the hostile tariff in
America?
Sir James Fergusson replied that he had
reason to believe that the German Govern
ment did not intend to take action at pres
ent. He said it would be inconsistent with
the fiscal policy of England to take the joint
measures which Mr. Vincent suggested.
RETURNS FROM IRISH ESTATES
Desired W Mr. Parnell to Show llio Condi

London, July 11. Mr. Parnell, in the
House of Commons this evening, made the
closing speech in the debate on the
vote for Mr. Balfour's salary as Chief
Secretary for Ireland. After re
marking that be was anxious that the
33,000,000 pounds proposed under the land
purchase bill should be used to the best ad
vantage to settle the question, Mr. Parnell
suggested that the constabulary be employed
in the autumn in obtaining returns from' es
tates in Munster and Connaught showing
the rents paid respectively by occupying
and by non-occupying tenants.
If that conrse was taken, he said, Mr.
Balfour would find the magnitude of the
problem be had undertaken to solve enor
mously reduced. He would be enabled to
so modify the bill that the available fund
would go a deal further than he
had any present idea ol. It must
still be insisted, however, added Mr. Par
nell, that local money must not be hypothe
cated without the consent of the local au
thorities. Mr. Balfour thanked Mr. Parnell for the
moderation of his speech, and promised to
consider tbe matter.

fBT DUNLAP'8 CABLE COMPAST.
Berlin, July 1L Julius Ritberhaus,
editor of the Frankfurter Journal, pub
lishes an interview with Bismarck, who
said: "I am a fallen tower. The German
press is cowardly, excepting the Socialistic
papers. The Post and Cologne Gazette,
formerly sycophants, now shun me as
though I was the plague. I shall oppose
the Government if it continues 'on the So
cialistic line. I never would have consented
to the present form of the Anglo-German
compromise. I could have obtained He
liogland cheaper. Enormous fortifications
there will be required for the next Franco
German war. The result will be that tbe
imperial rescripts will amount to nothing
but phrases, incapable of solving a single
practical problem." "

Dublin, July 11. Later advices say that
at the inquest held on the body of the
mother of Hart, the murderer and cannibal,
evidence showed that the cause of the
double crime was this. Hart married the
daughter of a widow, who owned the lease of
a small farm of which she refused to give a
title to Hart, who was a mere laborer. He
spent his mother-in-law's money. Sire sold
the good will of the place to the landlord

Rescued by Another Son. Who Was Cn
Jrjared. IKFECIAI. TELEOItAJlS TO THE PISPATOH.l
Teot, N. Y., July 11. An appalling
tragedy occurred at an early hour this
morning in Blissville, a hamlet of Castle
ton, Vt. James J. Williams, a Welchman
in well-to-do circumstances, was killed
about a month ago by falling into
a quarry. He left a widow and three
children. He lived in a two-story cottage.
Victor, a bright 15-year-old boy,' occupied
the sleeping room on the lower floor. His
mother, sister Carrie, aged 17, and brother
Edward, aged G, slept in a large room in the
second story.
At about 2 o'clock this morning Victor
discovered that the house was on fire. His
first thought was of his mother, and hasten
ing to her room, found her standing in the
middle of the floor gazing at the burning
furniture.
After considerable trouble he got her
down stairs and noticed a gaping wound in
her throat Thoroughly alarmed, the boy
confided her to the care of some 'neighbors.
When he again attemptad to enter
his other chamber the flames
drove him back, and bearing no
answers when he called to his brother and
sister he supposed they had escaped.
Meanwhile the fire brigade had got to
work and soon the flames were subdued,
but'neitber Carrie nor Eddy Williams were
to be seen, and the people feared the worst.
The wounded woman was questioned con
cerning the missing children, and she
pointed to the house and acted in a frenzy.
Ever since the death of her husband she
has acted strangely, and the neighbors be
gan to believe that she was a maniac and
they were not 'ong in doubt for when the
bouse was again entered the charred bodies of
Carrie and Edward were found with their
heads almost severed from their bodies. The
legs and portions of the trunk were
burned to a crisp. The surroundings in
dicate that the children were dead
be'ore the fire started. Mrs. Williams was
questioned but her replies were incoherent,
Mrs. Williams is a sister of William E.
Williams, the Philadelphia manager of the
Columbia Marble Company, of Rutland.
HEN ARE GEOWTNG SHORTER.
A Frenchman's Peculiar Statistics and Ills
Deductions From Them.
A French statistician, who has been
studying the military and other records
with a view of determining the height of
men at different periods, has reached some
wonderful results. The recorded facts ex
tend over nearly three centuries. It is
found that in 1G10 the average height of
man was 1.75 meters, or say 5 feet 9 inches.
In 1790 it was 5 feet 6 inches. ""In 1820 it
was,5 feet 5 inches and a fraction. At the
present time it is 5 feet 3 inches.
It is easy to deduce from these figures a
rate of regular and gradual decline in
human stature, and then to apply this,
working backward and forward, to the past
and to tbe future. By this calculation it is
determined that the stature of the first men
attained the surprising average of 16 feet
9 inches. Truly there were giants on the
earth in those day 3 of Og, and Goliath
was quite a degenerate offspring ot the
giants. Coming down to later times, we
find that at the beginning of our era the
average height of man was nine feet and in
the time of Charlemagne it was 8 feet 8
inches, a fact quite sufficient to account for
tbe heroic deeds' of the Paladins.
But the most astonishing resnlt of this
scientific story comes from the application
of the same inexorable law of diminution to
the fnture. The calculation shows that by
the year 4000 A. D. the stature of the av
erage man will be reduced to 15 inches. At
that epoch there will be only Lilliputians
on the earth. And the conclusion of the
learned statistician is irresistible that "the
end of the world will certainly arrive, for
tbe inhabitants wilfbecome so small that
they will finally disappear" "finish by
uisappearinc, as tne urencn idiom ex
presses it "from the terrettial globe."
BEECHER AND THE STAGE.
Stunrt Robsoo Says Ho Was Enthusiastic
Over tbo Sock nnd Bushln.
Stuart Robson writes to the Illustrated
American in correcting an assertion that
Henry Ward Beecher "attended a perform
ance of 'Pinafore' in Philadelphia when he
was about 70 years old the first and last
time he ever entered the forbidden ground,"
as follows: "As a matter of fact tne great
preacher was a frequent attendant to the
theater. Daring the winter of 1882 he told
me he had recently visited the theater for
the first time Sardouvs 'Ferreol,"! think
was the play and that he became so im
pressed with what he had seen that it would
be a life-long regretwith him that
be bad not given earlier attention to a 'more
powerlul weapon for good than even the
pulpit itself.' He spoke in the most feeling
way of the Jseveral actors he bad seen Mr.
Barrett, Mr. Irving, Mr.-Booth, Mr. Jeffer
son and others, and from the general tone of
his talk I uui snre I never met a more en
thusiastic lover of tbe stnge.
"It will-no doubt please the admirers of
Mr. Beecher to learn that during his declin
ing years he enjoyed the privilege of a per
sonal acquaintance with Mr. Florence and
Mr. Irving, an honor seldom accorded by
distinguished members of myoalliug to 'gen
tlemen of the cloth.'"

THE BATTLE BEGUN.

Talking Against Time.
PATE OP THE SUBSIDI MEASURES.
Frye's Unsuccessful Effort to Bring Both
Bills to a Tote.
CANDIDATES FOR THE PENSION AGENCY
The Compromise SHrer Bill Will be Called up la tbe
Honse To-Day.
Tbe Democratic Senators discussed the
subsidy bills at great length- yesterday.
Frye tried to secure an agreement for a vote
to-day, but was unsuccessful. Nothing
of importance was accomplished in the
House, but the silver bill, under gag rule,
is scheduled for tbe next session.
ISFXCUZ. TELIOnAM TO THE DIflPiTCH.1
Washington, July 11. Apparently
the Democrats in the Senate have already
commenced their feat of talking against time
to delay the passage of the tariff and Fed
eral election bills. The shipping bills were
under consideration, and Senator Gibson
was tbe first speaker. He argued against
the proposed subsidies for ship?, but in
favor of moderate postal subsidies. He
spoke of the importance of establishing a
line of steamships to trade with the Congo
country, of building a Government dry
dock at New Orleans and of reforming the
tariff by admitting commodities from the
South American States at lower rates of
duties.
But there was nothing, he said, more de
structive of the shipping interests than an
attempt to tax the farmers and producers of
the country in order to supply bounties for
ship builders. It was not by such means
that the United States had once occupied a
leading position on the ocean. It was by
ireedom, not by restraint; by sen-reliance,
not by bounces or subsidies.
AN APPEAL TO FETE.
He appealed to the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Commerce (Mr. Frye) to relax the
rigidity of the policy; to allow ships to be
purchased abroad and sailed under the
American flag; to take off the tariff duties
from materials, supplies and outfits that go
into the construction and sailing of ships,
and to accept as a compromise the policy of
giving postal subsidies to American built
vessels.
Mr. Coke said that if he bad to frame a
bill to place the American merchant marine
on an equality with that of other nations he
would not commence with-taxing the people
for the payment of subsidies, but he would
take hold of the shipping laws of the United
States and repeal them. He would allow to
American citizens at least the same privi
leges that foreigners had in American ports,
of getting their ships where he could buy
them cheapest
He would also so modify the tariff laws
that they would not seal up tbe ports of the
United States against tbe importation of for
eign goods. He protested against the bill
because it proposed to tax tbe people for the
purpose of building up an industry that was
impossible, under existing legislation. The
plan proposed was a Utopian one a vision
ary one.
AN IMPOSSIBLE FEAT.
It was simply impossible, under the ex
isting tariff and navigation laws, to build
up the foreign carrying trade of the United
States. Instead ot subsidizing ships, the
remedy for the trouble was to let down the
bars, to take awav the wall, to reduce the
tariff.
Mr. Coke went on to declaim against tbe
injurious effects of the illiberal tariff law,
and said that if retaliation were resorted to
in Europe (as was now threatened), that re
taliation would fall upon the farmers of the
United States. While the United States
was piling up obstruction to trade, the pend
ing bill proposed to pay subsidies for men
to go out and bunt up foreign trade.
Mr. Vest offered as a substitute for the
bill as to the American merchant marine, a
provision for dee ships, to be used only in
the foreign carrying trade, not in the coast
wise or lake trade. The bills went over
without action after an unsuccessful effort
by Mr. Frye to have an agreement to vote
upon them to-morrow. The Democrats evi
dently intend to debate the measures for
some time longer.

Washington, July 11. The House
Committee on Military Affairs decided to

question of consideration in the interest of
the private calendar. No quorum being
present, a call of the House was ordered,
when 191 members more than a
quorum responded to their names.
Mr. Perkins moved that furtherproceedings
under the call be dispensed with. Agreed
to yeas, 130; nays, 55. The conference re
port was then adopted. The Speaker laid
before the House a letter from the Presi
dent, transmitting the recommendations of
the International Conference relative to tbe
protection of patents, trademarks and copy
rights; and for the further protection of
public health against contagious diseases.
The House then went to the private calen

up the private bill lor the relief of "Charles
Murphy, of California.
Mr. Conger, of Iowa, presented the con
ference report on the silver bill. After it
had been read the question of consideration

A call of the House was then ordered. On
the call 194 members more than a qnorum

should be allowed to-morrow on the Silver
Committee report, at which time previous
questions should be considered as ordered.
Consideration on the silver report was
partisan, Republicans voting in the affirm
ative and the Democrats in the negative.
The only exception was Mr. Rogers, of Ar
kansas, who, before the announcement of
the result, changed bis vote from the nega
tive to the afirmative in order to move a re
consideration, but this motion was made
useless by the absence of a quorum.

Republican Sentalora Willing- to Prolong;

rFFICIAL TELIOB-IM TO TBI DISPATCH.
Washington, July 11. It is stated to
night by a prominent Senator that the evi
dent purpose of the Republicans in the
Senate is to pas3 a reapportionment bill, in
case it is found impossible or impracticable
to put through an elections bill.
Superintendent Porter, of the Census
Bureau, was in conference with
members of the Republican caucus
committee this afternoon. It is stated that
he assured the Senators he could have tbe
census figures in such shape by the 15th of
August that they could be used as a basis
for preparing the new reapportionment bill.
Several Democratic Senators say to-night
they are convinced that the real purpose of
the Republicans now is delay of the session
in order to get an opportunity to increase
their membership in the House and in the
electoral college by forcing through a re
apportionment bill based on manipulated
census returns.

METHODISM IK B0ST0K.
Tbe
Centennial Anniversary of tbo First
Service on tbo Common.
ntFECIAT. TELEGKAM TO TBE DIEFATOH.1
Boston, July 1L There was a novel
centennial celebration on Boston Common
to-day. One hundred years ago to-day the
Rev. Jesse Lee, better known in
later years as the apostle of Metho
dism in New England, preached the first
Methodist sermon in Boston beneath
the famous old elm which was blown down
14 vear3 ago. Methodism had a somewhat
sensational advent" to the staid old Hub.
Parson Lee was not received with favor
bv the strict Calvinists who lived
iu Boston at the time, and his teachings
were far from being acceptable. The pecul
iarities of his preaching awakened general
attention.
Amid bitter opposition, ostracised by re
ligious hate, all doors closed against him,
on July 11 of that year he rode on the
Boston common, fastened his steed
securely to a limb of the old
elm and mounting a table which a carpen
ter loaned him, standing under the shelter
of the grand ,old tree he sang
and prayed and preached. This was
the beginning of Methodism iu Boston.
To-day there was a big gathering of
Methodists around the scene of the "apos
tle's" first service. The exercises comprised
addresses by several Methodist clergymen,
the reading of a poem, prayers ana songs.

HELP FOR THE SOUTH
Greatly Needed in Settling the Mnca
Discussed Race Problem.
A LOUISIANA JUDGE'S YIEWS.
Expressed Before tbe Teachers' Association
at St. Paul '
A C0L0SED 0EAT0E ALSO SPEAKS
On the Same Theme, Making an Eloquent Plea for
Eights lor flisEace.
At the meeting of tbe Teachers' Associa
tion at St. Paul, Judge Grundy, of Louisi
ana, spoke on "The Race Problem." Other
addresses of an interesting character were
given.
St. Paul, Jnly 1L The session to-day
of the National Educational Association
was marked by several heated debates, and
an especially lively time was had over the
election of officers for the ensuing year
The ball was started rolling when at the
opening of the session Dr. Hewett, of Ohio,
arose on a question on privilege to deny a,
published statement regarding his candi
dacy for the Presidency.
It had been reported that he would
have taken the office if given him, and
considerable feeling was expressed
against the action of the Nomination
Committee in choosing for President one
whose connection with the association,
was considered as comparatively recent.
After Dr. Hewett's statement, Hon. John
Hancock, ot Ohio, offered a resolution in
dorsing compulsory education, which was
referred to the Committee on Resolutions.
MORAL TEAININO FAVOEED.
If the afternoon meetings of the association
were somewhat slimly attended there was no
(ailing off at the late session to-night. Prof.
J. M. Baker, of Colorado, presented the
report of the Committee on Resolutions.
They favor moral training in the
public schools; recommend an in
vestigation of the "White Cross
League literature; indorse the American
Humane Society; advocate the teaching of
the ethics of politics; approve compulsory
edncation to a limited extent; commend
United States Commissioner Morgan's plans
for Indian school lands; indorse land grants
for colleges; demand the repeal of all im
port duties on books, and express satisfac
tion with the wonderful growth ot the
National Educational Association.
Aresolntion regarding spelling reform
had been handed to the committee, and at
their request a special committee was ap
pointed to consider it and report next
year.
THE P.ACE QUESTION.
Tbe race problem was the subject for the
evening and the first address was by Hon.
A. A. Gunby, Judge of the Louisiana court,
who said:
"This race problem concerns not only tbe
South, but the whole country. It affects
and interests every section alike. It is a
burning home question of more importance
to the American people than all other
problems. It will not settle itself. It must
not be let alone. It demands brave tbought
and determined action if we would solve it
by a bloodless revolution.
"Thu various remedies proposed as a set
tlement of the race question are refuted.
Amalgamation is impossible, and both race3
are averse to it. The better class of negroes
wish race purity, and do not seek or desire
social intermingling or intermarriage with
tbe whites. He who counsels social equality
or intermingling between the races is an
enemy to both races."
NO EACE ANTAGONIST.
Deportation of the negro was de
nounced and answered unnecessary, unjust
and barbarous. There is no race antago
nism, no race prejudice in the South. The
relations between the races are kind and
friendly. The whites are attached to the
negroes and like to see them prosper,
add the negroes are conscious that
they received their language, their
religion and their civilization from the
whites. There is nothing in the character
of negro, and nothing iu the nature of the
relations and feelings existing be
tween the races that would prevent
their living together in peace and
harmony on terms of equal freedom.
But the trouble arises from the political
jealousy of the negroes and from tbe fear of
tbe whites that negro rule will be restored
and utterly destroy the new born progress of
the South.
The suffrage qualification should be
adopted by the general Government and
the same Government should give the
negroes the means of education as an act of
simple justice to qualify them for
the burdens and responsibilities of
full citizenship which the Govern
ment placed on them to subserve its own
ends. Public education is the peculiar and
grandest distinction of the American nation
and it ought to be put into our national
Constitution.
THE SOUTH NEEDS HELP
In its proper solution, and she appeals to the
North, not as a mendicant, but as a sister.
The South respects the chivalry and philan
thropy of the North, and she wants
your eood will and yonr capital
and your people. She wants yon
to be proud of tbe battle she is
fighting to develop her resources and proud
of the say her old soldiers has worked to re
store her place after the war. All patriots
and true men she cries: "Come over into
Macedonia and help us." "We of the South
look into the future of our country with
gladness, and the further we gaze new stars
and new triumphs come out and cluster
around her celestial pathway.
President J. C. Price, 'of Livingstone
College, Salisbury, N. C, next delivered
addresses on "Edncation and the Prob
lems." President Price is a negro and an
eloquent one. He kept himself closely to
his subject, arguing thit education was a
necessity and right. Negro freedom would
never be completed until the negro had be
come educated.
THE NEGRO'S EIGHTS.
The solution of the problem is the grant
ing to the negro of all tbe civil rights to
which be is entitled as a member of the
human family. The race problem is the
natural outcome of environment, and a
chance must be made in the character of that
environment. In politics even tbe negro,
did not want to be governed by ignorant
officers, but all officials must be elected by
legal methods. While educating the poor
negro the poor whites of the South
should not be neglected.
Tbe rest of his address was an argument
for morality as an outgrowth and accompani
ment of Christian education. United States
Senator Blair had been announced, but could
not come. President Canfield made a brief
closing talk, tnrning over the gavel to the
new President, W. R. Garrett, who spoke
for a moment and the thirty-fourth annual
Convention of tbe National Educational
Association was declared adjourned.
