Major McDowell Appeals in Vain to the Butler County Committee. THE CHARGE OF BRIBERY 'Held to be Fully Sufficient to Invali date the domination. TJHAKTHOUS DECISION REACHED That a Keir Candidate for Congress Must be rat in the Field. MEECEfi CALLED DPON TO TAKE ACTION TheBatler County Republican Committee followed the example of Bearer yesterday. Major McDowell was present at the meeting and made a personal appeal, bnt all in rain. His nomination was repudiated and a call for a new conference issued. The Mercer , committee has been called to meet next Tuesday. nreeuL rn.ro rax to tks cisrjLics.t Butleb, Pa-, July 23. The 35 members of the Republican County Committee who left their harvest fields to-day for the pur pose of passing judgment on the bribery connected with the nomination of a Con gressman in tbis district, receired a flood of light as to the manner of making and un making nominations in this district. Ther were importuned and reasoned with pro and con at every turn, and if they did not get a pretty intelligent understanding of the situation it was not the fanlt of the Butler or Mercer county politicians. Ex-Congressman Sam Miller, Major Alexander McDowell and a baker's dozen of lesser lights from the "Mercer diocese" came down last night and made a personal canvass of the citizens in the interest of their various candidates. They were op posed to the repudiation of the nomination, but were in favor of an investigation of the delinquent delegates. TO CONSEDEB THE METHODS. Chairman Hnselton, after rapping for order, announced the purpose of the meet ing to be a consideration of the methods al leged to have been employed in the nomi nation of a candidate for Congress in this district. Dr. B. E. Dennison, of Parker township, arose and denounced the nomina tion and called upon the members or the committee to give the lie to the old adage that "there is no honesty in politics," by repudiating the nomination in unmeasured terms. He supplemented his remarks by a mo tion authorizing tih Chair to appoint a committee of three on resolutions. The motion was carried, and Dennison, Moon and Dr. P. Y. Brookes were appointed. Their sentiments were pretty generally known to be in favor of a. thorough over hauling oi the whole business. A HEABINO FOE MERCEE. A number of motions were made to let the Mercer county people be heard in their own behalf, and as many protests were entered against such action. A half dozen men were on the floor at one time, among others many of the Mercer county contingent. Pan demonium reigned until some one suggested that the matter go over until the Committee en Resolutions was ready to report A re cess was taken, which was utilized for but tonholing. On reassembling a motion was made and carried permitting Major McDowell, or his representative, to have the opportunity of making his statement oi the case before the committee, and Major McDowell took the floor. He spoke in a lond tone of voice and with great emotion. He was not here, he said, to slead for mercy as a criminal, but for justice, as he has never paid a cent ior the nomination; had no knowledge of any , one else doing so lor him, and never wonld pay a farthing for procuring the votes of the delegates from Beaver county. SOME CONVENTION HISTOEY. "Beaver county," the Major continued, bad agreed to alternate 11 votes with ns, and on the nineteenth ballot I received 39 votes, but she withdrew her votes before the resnlt was announced. At a subsequent cancus Townsend told me that he felt that he had no chance, and wonld advise his delegation to support me. The change was not made as I had expected, and we joined then in procuring a recess until July 2. I did get the nomination on the one hundred and ninety-fifth ballot by Beaver's assistance, bnt it came to me without money and with out price so far as I was concerned. Appoint your committee of investigation; make the most searching inquiry, and if you find any smoke on my garments I will step down and out The Major, after he had finished his speech, yielded the floor and the balance of his time, as he put It, to Hon. S. H. Miller, who dwelt upon the necessity of harmony in the district and a full investigation of Major McDowell's part in the alleged bribery. NOT A DOG'S CHANCE. "What is the allegation ?" he exclaimed, "nothing bnt tie confession of ono delegate. and not one man in this room knows whether it is true or false. It is hearsay and ex parte testimony, which ought not to convict a dog. Do you propose to accept it as true and up set the nomination? Do you propose to blast the reputation of Major McDowell and send him out with the brand of bribery ra him? Mercer county will never submit to that. There is not a committeeman in Mercer county who will submit to anv such .treatment Mercer county will appoint a .committee of three, with power to investi. gate. We will ask. Major McDowell to be ,put upon hu oath. If he is guilty we will . haul down his name. If it i, fonnd that bribery has been committed we will join vyon in asking for a new nomination.

The Committee on Besolntions then re ported as follows: Whebeas, It appears by the aamlsslons un der oath of John R. Tate, Thomas Downing and others, that three of the delegates from Beaver county to the late Congressional Con vention, bold at New Castle, Fa., July 3, 1S90, for a money consideration, were induced to cast their votes on the one hundred and ninety fifth ballot In said convention, for tbe nomina tion of Alexander McDowell, as a candidate for Congress in this district and that said three delegates received the sum of $650 each for their votes so cast; and, Whereas, It appears that the nomination of the said Alexander McDowell conld Jnot bare been made on this ballot without these votes from the Beaver county delegates obtained, as is admitted by them, through bribery and venality. Therefore, be it resolved by the County Com mittee of Butler county: First That we condemn in unmeasured terms all such corrupt methods and means of as appears by these admissions to have been resorted to in this instance to secure the alleged nomination of Alexander McDowell as a candidate for Congress In-this district; de mand the fullest investigation of the matter, the punishment of all parties thereto found guilty of BBIBEBY AND COBBUPTION of delegates, and appeal to the honest voters of the district to stamp out these unlawful and corrupt methods, so that our nominations for all offices in the future may be lawfully, hon estly and fairly made, according to the will of the people. Second That the admissions aforesaid of the parties who received tho money and cast the votes that made the alleged nomination, whether the nominee knew of the means or not make it potent to everyone that said nom ination was the result of fraud, bribery and venality. It is therefore tho sense of this com mittee that the nomination of Alexander Mc Dowell was unfairly, unlawfully and corruptly made, is not binding on the Republicans of this district and cannot be Indorsed by them now or at the polls in November. Third That a committee of three be ap pointed by the Chairman of this committee to confer with a like committee from the other connties and join in an effort to correct the wrong that has been done to the Republicans of tbis Congressional district by the fraud, bribery and corruption of delegates to the late Congressional convention, to the end that an honest fair and legitimate nomination may be made of a candidate for Congress in this dls- wct - AN TTNPBECEDENTED CASE. Colonel John A. Sullivan spoke in sup- pott of the four resolutions. He said that forUhe first time in the history of the Re publican party of Butler county its county committee had assembled.to consider the im peachment of the validity of a Congressional nomination in this district, on the ground of acorrup use of money, by which a suffi cient number of votes was controlled to make a nomination, and this charge is sus tained by the confession of one of the ac cused, and admitted by others implicated. A charge so grave and so sustained and startling, has been received by the people here by surprise, indignation, and regret. The nuritv of the ballot box. and of all the channels leading thereto, and including the primaries and nominations, must be kept beyond the suspicion of fraud in order to retain the confidence and support of the people. No plea of political necessity, based on the supposed good of the party, or sickly sympathy for the offenders, should deter from prompt, vigorous, and fearless action to make elections frts from the taints of corruption. James M. Galbraith, Esq., who was the leader of the Butler delegation in the late conference, voiced the same sentiments. UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED. The Tote was then taken on the resolutions seperately viva voce and they were adopted without any dissent, and afterward adopted as a whole with the same unanimity. The committee will be appointed by the Chair man in a few days. Major McDowell re marked on leaving the hall that this did not end the matter by any means. Mr. Miller objected strenuouslv to the declarations the resolution which says that the Republicans cannot indorse the nomina tion now, or at the polls in November, but wonld not talk for publication further than to say that they had got a fair hearing, even if the result was not what they desired. WILL STAND BY IWJOWELL, Tbo Mercer County Republican Committee to Meet on Tuesday. rsrSCTJJ. TEIEQKAM TO TBI DISPATCH.! Shaeon, July 23. The action of the Butler Bepublican County Committee was not entirely unexpected to-day. The only expressions heard, however, were in favor of McDowell, even though the entire district repudiated his nomination. County Chairman Thomas Perry to-night issued a call for the meeting of the County Commit tee next Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the Court House at Mercer. The call reads for the transaction of general business, but it is stated that a series of red-hot reso lutions will be passed in regard to the dis trict's action, and a nnmber of the more hot beaded Eepublicans are advocating the passage of a further resolution, calling on Delamater to explain the charges made against him by Senator Lew Emery. Conservative Eepublicans are tn-nifht predictincthe defeat of the Bepublican Con gressional ticket, should a new nominee be put in the field, and it is a foregone conclu sion that the State ticket will suffer. County Chairman Perry is non-committal about the situation, bnt says that there will be given an invitation to the Eepublicans of the other three connties to be present Tuesday. A HO-HCENSE JUDGE Indorsed for Re-Election by the Cold Water i Clersrmen of tlnnting-don. rSTECIAX. TXX.ZOBA1C TO TBI DISPATCH. I Huntingdon, July 23. Several of the ministers of this place held a convention last night in the First Methodist Church, and after a great deal of discussion as to its propriety, passed a resolntion indorsing Associate Judge McCarthy's candi dacy for renominatlon, and at the same time requested all the other candidates to withdraw. This voluntary conduct on the part of the ministers has created much un favorable comment, particularly in view of the fact that several candidates for Asso ciate Judge reside here, and are members of the various churches over which these same ministers officiate. Judge McCarthy, it will be remembered is one of the Associate Judges who disre garded the Brooks law by overruling Presi dent Judge Furst, and re'fusing to grant anv licences in this connty.

SPECIAL TELEOHAlt TO TBI DIBPATCn.1 Philadelphia, July 23. Chairman Kerr, of the Democratic State Committee, arrived here to-day from Harrisburg, where he held a consultation with Ben P. Meyers and other Democratic State leaders for the purpose of outlining a programme for the Gubernatorial campaign. Chairman Kerr's purpose in coming back to this city was to go on a hunt, not a political "still hunt," but an open hnnt for headquarters. During the latter part of ex-Chairman Kisner's reign the Democratic State headquarters were fixed at Harrisburg, but Chairman Kerr will make his fight this year from this end of the State. After a couple of hours' hard work the new Chairman secured a place for head quarters by renting.the private dwelling at 1416 South Penn Square. One thing de cided upon by the new State Chairman, is to have the headquarters of the State Com mittee as private as possible. A corps of trnsted clerks will be engaged for the per formance of necessary detail work, and no persons bnt those having business with the-Chairman will be allowed to enter the building. Chairman Kerr wonld rather have had his quarters nearer the business center of the city than where he has chosen, but be finds comfort in the thought that by reason ot the nearness of Broad street station he will better be able lor catch incoming Democratio leaders from the interior counties of the State. The in tention of the Chairman is to open up his headquarters about Aucust L The entire building is being rapidly cleaned and an order has been given for the needed desks and chairs to be used by the clerical force. A neat sign will be placed on the front of the building as a guide to those having business there. Postmaster John Pield to-day received the following letter from Rev. David H. Wheeler, LL. D., President of the Alle gheny College: It may be of use to you to know a fact or two about our candidate for Governor. He is a clean, straight, decent gentleman; not a trick ster or crooked In any way. He is a regular at tendant upon church and Is identified with the good causes ot the community. He will com mand a vote In this town and county a gooa deal larger than his party, because ot the esteem in which he is held. Pattison is a good man, but no better than Delamater. HE LICKED THE EDITOR. Sensational Outcome of Political Warfare In a Chatter Connty Village. tEPECUU, TH.EQ11AM TO TUB DISPATCH.! Chestee, July 23. One of the most ex citing incidents attendant on the pri mary election contest occurred this evening in South Chester, when Dr. W. C. Kelley soundly thrashed George Webb, managing editor of the South Ches ter Newt. The affair"oecurred in front of Dr. Kelly's pharmaoy, and was partly the result of the bitter Congressional fight Webb has been an ardent supporter of Isaac M. Johnson and Kelly has worked as earnestly for John B. Bobinson. When they met Kelly accused Webb of circulating the report that he had spent Jl.OOO in Bobinson's interest The lie was passed, and Webb struck Kelly on the head. Kelly, who is a much smaller man than Webb, but quite an athlete, returned the blow, knocked down the editor and gave him a good pum meling. "Webb, who is a very unpopular man, was hooted by a large crowd, who had assembled about Kelly's, awaiting election returns. After the pincky doctor desisted a part of the crowd raised him on their shoulders and cheered him, while others escorted Webb to his home nearby with tin horns procured at a neighboring tin store.

The rapid adhesion of the Farmers' Alliance to the Constitu tion's proposed plan of campaign, the boy cotting of Northern goods, has given it a backbone which makes it formidable from the start A meeting has been called by several of the sub-alliances in Houston and other connties, which propose adopting resolu tions to send to all county alliances throughout the State, of which the follow ing is the senses We will not bny an engine, cotton gin, or any other machinery, or wagons, buggies, harness, clothing, shoes, or anything else, from any Arm In any State whose representatives in Congress vote for the force bill) and we will use onr best efforts to get every alliance man and farmer throughout the Southern States to Join us in carrying out this resolution, and to counter mand every piece' of machinery they have ordered for farm purposes, for preparing this year's crop for market lf it bankrupts them. otheb causes op complaint. Wo are aware that these large manufactur ers spent a large amount of money to prevent the passage ot the Mills tariff bill, to our detri ment, and, further, we are aware that the proper Influence brought to bear by these large manufacturers up on their representatives will prevent tbe passage of this damnable bill, which we will never submit to as long as tbe government of this nation is In the hands and power of the cit izens, no matter what Congress may enact The farmers of this country are urging this matter in the earnest desire to herald their views and intentions throughout tbe country as fast as possible. The President of tbe Worth County Alliance makes the suggestion that no cotton be sold to the Northern mills, bnt that it be sent to En gland direct Captain It. G. Clark, of Borne, Ga., President of the Merchants' Bank, and head of the largest wholesale house in the city, for years has been buying dry goods and shoes in New York and New England. Gradually he has worked in southern jeans and cotton goods, but the balk of his stock, probably $400,000 a year, he has to bny at the East Notwithstanding his heavy interest at stake he unhesitatingly pledges himself to the boycott welcomes inconveniencies. Here is what he says: "As one of thelead ing business men of Georgia I am ready to co-operate with business men throughout the" Southern States in tbe proposed plan of meeting the emergency in case, bill becomes a law. I pur chase hundreds of thousands of dollars annuallyfrom Northern business men, many of them Eepublicans whom I have always esteemed highly personally. But if they are not ready to enter a protest against the villainous force bill then I can do without their goods and abide by whatever inconvenience the change may bring. Yes: let them do their worst We can and will take care of the God-given rights which are ours." -Public meetings are reported as being held in all the smaller towns throughout the South, in which the plan of campaign is in dorsed. In fact, the country merchants, urged by their customers, are even now pressing their wholesale houses in the larger cities to begin at once. To-morrow the retail merchants of Georgia will meet in convention in this citv, and have notified the manaeers of the proposed boycott meeting of their determination to take part and insist upon work that means something. The boycott meeting is to be presided over by Bufus B. Bullock, who was tbe Republican reconstruction Governor of Georgia. NO PBEPABATION NEEDED. The Constitution will say to-morrow: "The people of the South need no time, no preparation for the unanimous boycott of Northern bnsiness if the force bill becomes a law. Our rapidly increas ing wealth, our industrial leadership and our monopoly of produce, which the world cannot do without, will make us prac tically inaepenaeiii me moment we sever our commercial relations with the North, and open direct trade with Europe, Then the most extensive organization .ever known, the Farmers' Alliance, is solidly for-cur proposed remedy, and is ready, not only to act as one man, but to nse such pressure as may be needed to make laggards keep step with the procession."

O., July 23. The three commercial bodies of this city have not as yet met to consider the force bill, but there is a growing demand on the part of the public, and meetings will be held shortly. The use of the boycott' is urged by quite a number of the voters here, but there is a diversity of opinion as .to whether the boycott shall be applied to tbe Northern bnsiness or to the negroes. A good many bnsiness men urge the establishment of direct steamship lines between Charleston and European ports and as nearly as possible tne aoanaonment ot trade with Northern and Western merchants and manufacturers in the event of the passage of the Lodge bill. Against this it is urged tbat such a boy cott would hurt friends as nell as foes, and, in addition, tbat as this city does not own or control a single one of the three or four rail roads entering here, the establishment of steamship lines would be impossible. One of tbe wealthiest merchants said to The Dispatch correspondent to-day: Southern merchants and buyers conld Indeed discriminate in favor of Democratic manufact urers and merchants In making their pur-1 chases of goods in the Northern markets, but they are not at all likely to do so. They will traae where tbey have been accustomed to trade, and with their mercantile friends, re gardless of politics.

The people in Iiouisiana now believe there is a prospect of the passage of the Federal election or force bill, and there is a general demand that some action be taken in regard to it, so as to nullify the effect of the law should it pass. But there is a wide diversion of sentiment as to what that action should be. The sub ject has been hotly discussed the last two days, and there appears to be an even division on the subject of a boycott of Northern commercial and Industrial estab lishments as proposed by Governor Gordon, of Georgia. About half the people favor this boycott and would include In it Northern watering places, the Chicago Exposition and every thing else Northern. They want a con vention called of representatives from the several Southern States to arrange some course of action, so that all the South can act together in fighting and defeating the law. The proposed convention meets with general favor. Tbe New Orleans Chamber of Commerce, the largest commer cial body in the South, declares for the scheme. KU-KLUX IN MAINE. ROWDYISM AND TERRORISM AMONG HIGHLY CONNECTED YOUNG MEN. A Schoolmaster and a Trial Justice at the Head of Rival Gnnnn of Law Breakers The Fend Between Whnngdoodleri and Tnti. IXPZCIAI, TXLXOBAlf TO TOE DISPATCIt.l Pobtland, Me., July 23. "Whang Doodlers" and "Tuts" filled the Municipal Courtroom to-day to take part either as wit nesses or spectators in one of the queer est cases that has ever claimed the attention of a Maine Justice. The "Whang Doodlers" and "Tuts" live in. West Baldwin and they have been carrying on a system of terrorism and Ku Klnx ism that has never before been heard of in this Commonwealth. They are not rowdies in the general acceptance of 'the term, ior they belong to the best lamuies in the little country town. Yet they have set the whole community agog by their rowdy ism for some time past, and matters were brought to a crisis by a personal conflict be tween the chiefs of the two tribes. It was a sensational meeting in which re volvers figured, and to-day the whole matter was aired in court. The chief of the "Tuts" is Trial Justice Arthur S. Bowers, and School Master Byron J. Noble is a leader of the "Whang" Doodlers." Bowers and Walker Noble, a brother of Byron, loved the same girl, whose father was a "Tut." The father insisted that his daughter must marry Bowers and he turned her out of doors because she re fused. Naturally there was bitterness be tween the two men, and the friends of each took up the fight The re sult has been a long series of prac tical jokes, which culminates in the fight between Bowers and Bion Noble and another "Whang Doodler" named Crown. Bowers as Trial Justice had in curred the hatred of the "Whang Doodlers" by severe enforcement of the laws and the complaint has been made that he was unjust in his administration of the law. Therefore they began a systematic conrse of treatment, which was intended to make life a burden to him. Trial Jnstice Bowers presented rather a sad appearance as he sat in Court to-day and his face gave ample evidence of the punishment he had received at the hands of of the "Whang Doodlers'" chiefs. Noble and Crown, The Court held both prisoners and an appeal was taken. Bail was fnrnished. The two secret societies,the "Tuts" and "WhangDoodlers" will now have a chance to fight it out at home with a hint that it may yet be neces sary to organize a committees of vigilantes. BEAD AND NOT WEDDED. A Yonne Olan Commit! Suicide While Pre paring to be Married. Jacksonville, Fla., July 23. GTate Carr, of Ocala, shot himself at Borneo to day on 'the eve of his marriage to Miss Bu bin Weston, of the latter town, and the af fair has produced a profound sensation. Carr went down on a special engine last night, a ride of 21 miles. Tbe marriage was to have taken placo-at G:30 tbis morning. A wedding breakfast was to follow and a bridal trip to the West Will Weston, brother ot the bride, assisted the groom to dress. His toilet was not com pleted when Carr asked Weston to go out into another room and get a pairoi suspenders. While absent young Weston heard a shot, add returning 'fonnd Carr on the bed with a pistol hole in his temple. It was learned to-day that before Carr took the engine he applied to several parties for a pistol, saying it was some distance from the depot to Dr. Weston's residence, and he wanted something to protect himself in case of danger, and he got George Battie's pistol. Carr had been dealing excessively in phosphate lands, and was re ported to have made $25,000 by recent trans actions. It is learned, however, that his cash did not materialize, and failure to raise money by loan for the expense of the wedding trip is supposed to have induced the suioide. Carr came from Illinois five years ago, and was a young man of good habits and busi ness ability. AGADT6T AN EIGHT-H0VB LAW, Secretary Brndlaash Opposes the Move mrnt for a Shorter Day.

The great syndicate which has secured the Chicago Stookyards is now after all the similar institutions in the country. Several deals in the West have already been com pleted, and agents are now at work In Pittsburg, New York and Philadelphia. Americal capital holds a controlling in terest rsrxcxAi. txlesbau to ran DisPArca.t Chicago, July 23. The new stockyards syndicate has begnn negotiations for the purchase outright of the National Stock yards at St Louis, the Union Stockyards at St Joseph, Mo., the Union Stockyards at South St Paul, and the smaller yards at Iowa City. These are the locations of definite negotiations. It is stated further that the immense corporation has its agents at work in Pittsburg, Philadelphia and New xork, and other points in the East, and contemplates controlling every stock yard in this country. The price agreed upon for the St Joseph, Mo., stockyards is understood to be one mil lion and a quarter. At 3 o'clock this after noon the stock subscriptions, whioh have been going on for two days, closed because everything had been taken. OWNEE3 OP THE STOCK. A telegram from Boston says that Boston and New York parties have taken $8,000,000 of the stock, leaving only 5,000,000 for Chicago and the English, and the English have seenred only 2,GOO,000, so that tbey are far from having a controlling interest, but they are more largely interested in the subscription for the bonds which the cor poration will issue. A man whose name has not. been made public, but who knows perhaps more than anyone else about the details of the founda tion of the syndicate and about the reaching out of the temporary managers of the deal, said this evening: "It was about as smooth a piece of engineering as was ever done, this wresting of the management of the deal out of the bands of the Britishers. They had about got things fixed for them selves, but they had no idea tbat anyone in tbis country had ENOUGH MONEY TO OUTBID THEM in so large a transaction, so they did some talking. That was fatal to them, as it is always to people who are making financial deals. This is going to be a bigger corpora tion than the English brewery syndicate. When these people get through landing all the stockyards in the country and extend their influence to Western ranches and the farms of he Mississippi Valley, they will be pretty well prepared to say whether you or I shall eat meat or not Then they have let enoneh Englishmen in to control En glish legislation on the beet qnestion, and it is certain tbat they are preparing to court the favor of Germany to the extent of getting legislation favorable to the Amer ican hog." "Do you know anything about the details of the negotiations for tbe purchase of these outside stookyards?" he was asked. AN EXTENSIVE DEAL. "You are right as far as you have gone, bnt the deal extends all over this countrv. There are half ahundred of these stockyards of more or less magnitude, and they will have them all in. I could give you half a dozen deals that are on that you haven't got, bnt yon have fully enough to illustrate your point There is a point that none of you newspaper men seem to have caught on to, however. It is this: For a good many years the financial interests of the English syndicates, the Yanderbilt system and the Astor family have clashed, and their repre sentatives have not harmonized. Now you see the lion and Iambs all lying down to gether. All three interests are represented in the directory of the new corporation, and almost equally that is a powerful trium virate." THE WORLD'S FAIR GRANTED THE USE OF CHICAGO'S LAKE FRONT, BY THE COUNCIL. Tho City to Pay for tho Filling In Illinois Central Bond Frozen Ont About 250 Acrea to be TJaed Jackson Park Also a Part of tbe Fair. Chicago, July 23.

The vote stood H to 15. The ordinance pledges the city of Chicago to pay for any piling or filling in of tbe lake that may be required to the extent of ? 2,000,000, and after the Fair is ended re turns the ground to the city to be used for ever as a public park. .Not less than ISO acres of the lake front are to be utilized for World's Fair purposes. It is stipulated that no bargain of any sort is to be entered into between the Fair Directors and tbe Illinois Central Bailroad for the control of that portion of the lake Front occupied by the Illinois Central tracks unless snob, bargain shall be first ap proved by the City Council. 'In case the city of Chicago loans or subscribes $5,000,- to tlie stocl: of lhe Exposition, tbe directors gnarantee that the amount of money returned to the city shall not be less than the cost of whatever the pibng or fill ing of the lake may be done. The ordinance does not fix any maximum number of acres to be utilized of tbe Lake Front, but the greatest amount obtainable bv anv of the nlans thss far informally out lined is 250 to 300 acres. No change Is made in tbe plan of placing the remainder of the Fair in Jackson Park, about five miles distant on the Lake Shore.

He left for New Tork to-night, and to-morrow he and ex-Governor McCormick will give tbeir opinions as to what should constitute the powers and limitations of the Executive Committee, which has not yet been ap pointed. t In response to questions General Goshorn said, this afternoon, that be would not ac cept the director generalship of tbe Colum bian Exposition, addintr that the position had not been tendered him, and he did not know that it would l THEIR ANNUAL MEET.

I Asbuev Paek. July 23. The National Association of Glassware Manufacturers held two sessions at their annual meeting here to-day. As efforts have been made by English capitalists' and manufacturers to form ii syndicate In America it was sup posed that the matter,wou!d be disenssed in the association. The subject was not men tioned in either session, and there was little talk of it among tha members themselves outside of the association. Several promi nent members were confident tbat the En glish capitalists represented by some Amer ican gentlemen would succed in gaining possession of the glass manufactories here at no distant day. Jenkin Jones, of Calvert, Jones & Co., stated to a Dispatch representative tbat every man had his price fixed and would sell at that figure. No action or discussion by the association wonld ensne. He did not think that anybody would ever consider the question, as it was purelr a personal one. Colonel Anderson, of "the O'BTara Glass Company, knew nothing of tbe syndicate matter. He did not think there was any 'thing in the rumors. A majority of the other gentlemen.epre senting 29 American factories, coincided with the views of Mr. Jones, and will sell at their price, and of course withdraw from the association. President Bipley called the association (o order and proceeded to the considering of tbe resolutions and petitions. The uniform charges are the same as have been in exist ence for several years. No change was made. A petition from tbe National Association of Jobbers in Crockery and Glassware, and many large houses not in the organization, was presented by a delegation. This peti tion asked the glass makers to grant relief from the "long standing difficulties which attach to the present method of charging for packages separately from the wares which they contain." The request of the jobbers was refnsed on the ground that It would be difficult to fix standard prices for goods without charging forpackages. If goods be ordered in small packages the price of the same goods must be much greater than if ordered in large packages. The Torey bankrupt bill was unanimously indorsed, as was tbe McKinley tariff bill. Messages were sent to Congress recommend ing their passage in their present form. The officers elected to-night were: Presi dent, D. C. Bipley, of Pittsburg; Vice Pres idents, James Gellsnder, ot Philadelphia; James H. McCIay, of Pittsburg; Treasurer, Thomas Evans, of Pittsbure; Actuary, J. G. Walter, of Pittsburg. Paul Zimmerman was added to the Governing Committee, which, with the above officers, form the executive board. Other Pittsbnrgers present at association are D. D. Shinley, Jenkin Jones, Joseph D. Walter, David Challenor, Thomas Evans, William J. Patterson, David E. Carle, W. Adams, William Beck, Edward Hogan and Benjamin Prichard. The members will leave to-morrow morn ing. ELOPED WITH.

An elopement is the latest sensation at Canon chet the home of ex-Governor Spragne, and his refusal to forgive the young couple has cast them into the depths of despair. The heroine was Cleo Juliet Weed, a fascinating sister of Mrs. Spragne, who has been visit ing at Canonchet several weeks. She is now jurs. Aiowara a. Xiaton. .Eaton u an ex pert electrician, who has been doing some special work at the local electric light station. To-day Miss Weed left the famous Canonchet, and meeting Mr. Eaton, entered his carriage and drove toward Kineston. Tonne Eaton had just before this gone to the clerk of the Narraganset district and obtained a marriage license, in doing which he gave his age as 21, his birthplace as Lynn, and her age as 21 and birthplaoe as Stamford, Conn. Governor Spragne ob jected to the marriage because "be and his wife knew little or nothing of Eaton's ante cedents. It is ascertained, however, tbat he is a graduate of a technical school and a school of electricity, and that he is not only an expert electrician and in charge of an electric light plant in Michigan, but that he is a good linguist. Governor Spragne is to have tbe marriage annulled on account of its illegality, as Miss Weed is not of age. COBNEBmO CHICAGO SALOONS. An English Syndicate to Introdace Their System In tbe Windy City. Chicago, July 23. The announcement was made yesterday on the incorporation of Anglo-American Brewing and Malting Company, of Chicago, with a capital of 300,000 by an English syndicate. Another company has been formed and incorporated by tbe same syndicate as is interested in tbe Anglo-American, for the pur pose of purchasing and operating saloons in the city of Chicago. The plan is to use in the saloons only the prod uct of the Anglo-American plant, and as the stock will be held by practically the same persons who own the other corpora tion, they will go direct to tbe consumer, and thus, besides saving a middle-man's profit, have a market for the ontputofthe brewery at all times independent of the action of the big brewery pool. The company is to be known by the title of Columbian Bar and Buffet Company, with a capital of 300,000. It is understood that the saloon system will be rnn on the same principle as the Spiers and Pond bars and restaurants throughont England, and that their being supplied by one brewery is simply a transplanting ot the English "en tire" system to American saloons.

ALL DIPLOMATIC SECRETS Now Given to Congress and the Pnb lie by President Harrison. EMLAHD'S EMPHATIC PBOTEST Against the Confiscation of the Canadian Sealing Vessels. THE STATUS OP THE HEG0TIATIQSS President Harrison yesterday sent to the House of Bepresentatives the correspondence; covering tbe Behring Sea dispute. Tha various documents show the positions taken by the British and American Governments. At times the English letters are decidedly" of a" belligerent nature. Washington, July 23, The President to-day sent to the House of Bepresentatives, in answer to the resolntion introdnced by Bepresentative Hitt, the official correspond ence between the Government of the United -States and the Government of Great Britain touching upon the seal fisheries oi the Behring Sea. In his accompanying letter of transmittal to the President, Secretary Blaine, under date of Bar Harbor, July 18, regrets the delay in transmission, which the President directed on tbe 11th inst, and says that the correspondence is still in progress. The correspondence includes 30 separate papers, beginning with a letter from Mr. Edwardes, First Secretary of the 'Legation and Charge d' Affairs; after Minister West's recall, dated August 24, 1880, and closing with one from Secretary Blaine to Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Minister, dated July 19, 1890. INTEEFEEENCE 'WITH BEITISH VESSELS. The first letter (from Mr. Edwardes to Mr. Blaine) reads as follows: uak Baebob, August 21, 1SS9. Bib: In accordance with instructions which. I bave received from Her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, I bava the honor to state to you tbat repeated rumors have of late reached Her Majesty's Govern ment that tbe United States cruisers have stopped, searched and even seized British ves sels in Behring Sea outside the three-mila limit from tbe nearest land. Althousb, no official confirmation of these rumors hava reached Her Majesty's Government, there ap pears to be no reason to doubt tbeir authen ticity. 1 am desired by the Marquis of Salis bury to Inquire whether the United States Government are In possession of similar in formation, and further to ask that stringent Instructions may bo sent by the United States Government at the earliest moment to their officers, with the vlaw to provent the possibil ity of such occurences taking place. In con tinuation of my Instructions, I have tbe honor to remind you that Her Majesty's Government received very clear assurance last year from Mr. Bayard, at that time Secretary of State. that pending the discussion of the general questions at issue, no further interference should take place with British vessels in Behr ing Sea. "In conclusion, the Marquis ot Salisbury de sires me to say tbat Sir Jnlian Pauncefote, Her Majesty's Minister, will be prepared on his retnrn to Washington in the autumn to discuss the whole question, and Her Majesty's Government wish to point out to the united States Government that a settlement cannot but be hindered by any measures ot force) which may be resorted to by the United States. I have, etc., H. V. Edwaedes, SPEEDY SETTLEMENT DE3IBED. To this letter, Mr. Blaine replied on the same day and at the same place, that the same ru mors, probably based on trutb, bave reached the Government of tbe United States, but that up to date there had been no official communi cation received on the subject He adds: "It has been and Is the earnest desire of the Presi dent of the United States to have such an ad justment as snail remove all possible ground of misunderstanding with Her Majesty's Govern ment concerning the existing troubles in the Behring Sea; and tbe President believes tbat the responsibility for delay in the adjustment can not be properly charged to tbe Government of tbe United States. Iti tbe opinion of the President the points at issue between the two covernments are capable of promptadjustmens on a basis entirely honorable to both." On September 12. last year. Mr. Edwardes asked when he might expect an answer to tbe request of his Government made August 21, that instructions may be sent to Alaska to pre vent the probability of the seizure of British ships in Behring Sex He says that Her Majesty's Government are earnestly awaiting v the reply ot the United States Government on this subject, as the recent reports of seizures baring taken place are causing much excite ment Doth in England and in Canada. In another letter to Mr. Edwardes, of data October 2, last, tbe Marquis transmits copies of affidavits bearing on the seizure of tbe British sealers Black Diamond and Triumph by tbe United States revenue cutter Bush. GROUNDS OP COMPLAINT. He says further: "It is apparent from thesa affidavits that the vessels were seized at a distance from land far in excess of tbe limit of maritime jurisdiction, which any nation can claim by international law. The cases are similar in this respect to those of tbe ships Caroline, Onward and Thornton, which wera seized by a vessel of the United States out side the territorial waters In the summer of liH6. In a dispatch to Sir L. West dated Sep tember 10, lb7, which was communicated to jur. Aiayara, i arew tne attention of the United States Government to tbe Illegality of theso proceedings, and expressed a hope that dua compensation wonld be awarded to the subjects of Her Majesty who had suffered from them. I have not, at the time, recalved from tha United States any Intimation of their Intentions in this respect or any explanation of tha grounds upon this interference with the British sealers bad been authorized. Mr. Bayard did. Indeed, communicate to us unofficially, an as surance that no further seizures of this char acter should take place pending the discussion of tbe questions Involved between the two Governments. Her Majesty's Government much reget to find tbat this understanding bas not been earned forward into tha Dresent year, and that instructions have been Issued to cruisers of the United States to seize British; vessels fishing for ssals in Behring Sea outside the limit of territorial waters. The grounds upon which these violent meas ures hare been taken have not been commu nicated to Her Majesty's Government and still remain unexplained. But In view of the un. -expected renewal of tbe seizures of which. Her Majesty's Government have previously complained, it is my duty to protest against them and to state that in the opinion of Her Majesty's Government, tbeyaro wholly unjustl- ucu uy international taw." AN UNOFFICIAL ASSURANCE. It appears that Mr. Blaine inquired what authority there was for the above stated assur ance of Mr. Bayard, as In a note on October 4 last Mr. Edwards says that It was an assurance communicated unofficially to his Lordship by the United States Mlnistar in London, and also by Mr. Bayard to Minister West in April, 1888. The correspondence between Secretary Blaine and tbe new British Minister began January 22, of this year, witfi a very long letter from the Secretary to Sir Julian Pauncefote. The Secretary opened with an acknowledgement of tbe receipt of the papers bearing on the seiz ures made by the Bush.
