EooseveU on "Civil Service Eeform" and the benefits de rived from that system. "Social Ethics" was the subject of Prof. Weldner's theo logical lecture. The National Business Mens' Educational Association is in ces sion on the Assembly grounds. iBFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Lake Chautauqua, 2s. Y., July 26. Fair Chautauqua left off her theological discussions and Prof. Burnham this after noon to receive in political ethics with the Hon. Theodore Boosevelt as instructor. At 2:30 George Vincent stepped forward and introduced the "United States Civil Service Commissioner with the following words: "Itake great pleasure in introducing to yon an able, brilliant, live, young Ameri can, who is not airaid to enter politic! and works to make them better." Mr. Roosevelt said that it was embarrass ing to face this audience under ordinary conditions and doubly so after such an in troduction, though myself a staunch party man. I shall have to quote the words of Senator Ingalls, who says that politics are not run according to the decalogue and golden rule. We con sider that it has a place in politics and that men shall not lie, cheat, swindle or bur rotes. In so speaking the Senator says that men should lie, cheat, steal and buy votes. If you hire a man to steal for you he will as a matter ot business expediency for himself steal from you. OPPONENTS OP CIVIL SERVICE. This is the class of men whom you will find opposed to reform. They do not offer any real argument or meet the issue lairly. There are at least 1,000,000 men in the United States who, desiring office, are actuated by self-interest in opposing civil service reform. The general public takes General, but not active interest in its course. I read a letter of a gentleman tlio other day who insisted that the Government had been built up without civil service and we did not need it now to tear it down. Literally such a statement would mean that our Gov ernment had been made and perpetuated by means of the only other agent, the military service. They are so ignorant that they do not know how to state their own side pi the question. We wish to destroy mercenary purposes in politics, I believe that a choosing by merit will give measurable benefit to our civil'service and immeasurable benefit to the pure Jn our political life. No intelligent man can see bnt two sides to the question of reform. The one the mercenary work for some political chief, the other the merit sys tem. , HOW THE SYSTjaTJOKES. -'"""We -fcaxe not an ideal service, but it is much better than the one it supplants. We have it in practical operation, and where you find a well-managed office you will find it up to the civil service law. "Under the postmastership of Mr. Sexton, of Chicago, Mr. Hendricks, of Brooklyn, we have an excellent service because the law is observed. Bnt in Milwaukee under Mr. Paul, Baltimpre under Mr. Jones, where the service is not lived up to, the public does not get good service. I aided in the investigation of the affairs of the Clerk's office in Sew York Citv sev eral yeais ago. The clerk received ?80,000 per year. When asked if he performed his duties as clerk he answered in the negative, bnt said his assistants did that. He had at tended to the wants of his constitnent.Under such methods they leave the work to the subordinates while thev attend to their own political affairs. We test men by examina tion. Senator Gor'nan recently made the statement in an examination of mail carriers in Baltimore, the question was asked, "What is the nearest mail route from Annapolis to Hong Kong?" I wrote to Mr. Gorman twice asking him to offer me evidence bnt never received any answer. It may be that tbe mails miscarried. I aho advertised in the newspapers, offering 5100 reward for the proof of the facts, but never a word have I heard. What we did ask was that the applicant know a little concerning the topography of the city. rOOB JUDGMENT Or THE PUBLIC. In the examinations we go on the theory that the probabilities are that we will get the best men. Sometimes we yield to the demands of some man ot influence when they wish admirable men appointed in par ticular prophetic instances. Iieccntly a Congressman came to us with a man for an appointment who, he claimed, was desired by the merchants and the whole business community. He was a u:i pre-eminently fitted for the place, and the appointment was in no way a political onp. We yielded, the President of the Republican club of tbe city was given the place and its Secretary m.ie his assistant, Offntimes people are not eulogistic enough of their Congressmen when they do well, and not tevere enough when they are unfcitnlul in the duties ot their office. The Aciericen public oltcn docs not use good judgment. It will hail ns a Napoleon an iiriay officer who whips six Indians out in the West, while it will rondemn to oblivion the man who yottd wrong upon some bill in tbe House. We suffer on one side through the spoils system and on the other side through the pessimistic theorist, vho condemn every thing and who never did an honest day's work itf their lives. "WHERE THE BOSSES EULE. There are a large number of men in Con gress who are working valiantly for the right, while there are other who are work ing jnst t.s valiantly in the other direction. Congitssaan Washington, frosi Tennessee, made the statement that oat of tho men who had passed the civil service examinations in his State, 95 per cent had been removed from ofiice. I looked it up and found that p2 percent had remained in ofiice. In the Washington offices it is a success, but in local offices outside of Washington, it de pends upon the officer in charge. If lolitical "bosses" are in control we cannot do so much good, for Congress has appro priated so little money for us to work with that we cannot force them. At the close of his talk, Mr. Roosevelt offered to answer any questions propounded. A paper was handed up to him containing the following query: "Do the examinations '"." .;, application nr npr. veranee?" "Thev dn t,i Li Mr. Boosevelt. "But you take me ten leaning men with the hlghett per centages in an examination and nsuallv they are superior in all qualities to the ten standing lowest. Further, no person can be passed until he has presented vouchers from reliable parties asserting their good moral character and if they forge these letters they are subject to imprisonment. At the end or six months' time if in an v way found imconipetent they may be released." STUDY IN SOCIAL ETUI 03. (At 4 o'clock Prof. Wpidncr piVe on "Social Ethics" and gave oie of the most logical and striking theological dis courses ever heard here at Chau tauqu?. Mr. Welilner U full of ideas and knows how t express them. "Christ is not a teacher," he said, "A censor, a law-'iver. like Moses. let, we can nevertheless, and we must speak of the educating grace of God in Christ. On the relation between authority and liberty rests every organized society. The divine word, the law and the gospel, is the same at everv time. But its inter pretation, its application and introduction into realitv is intrusted to the church, as steward o'f the divine mysteries. As the moral life must be a unity, a connected whole, the normal relation of liberty to the law appears in this, that lir ; tn hp nlnnned. and that there may be time for the fulfillment of the various duties; and everything must get its time, and bo done at the right time. Hence it belongs also to the right division of time along the various duties of life, that there be nrodnced a scheme of liie, nay, a daily scheme, which excludes the many un filled pansci. Genuine conservatism must, of necessity, determine itselt to progress. CHRISTIANITY'S INFLUENCE. The only certain means against age and decay is the continuance of growth. Both conservatism and progress at last re turn to the relation between au thority and liberty, because every regulation of society is determined by this relation. Christianity sharpens and completes everv demand of the law, not merely for the individual, but also for so ciety; and it offers to men the grace of gospel, while at the same time it expresses as a demand of conscience that men should accept the invi tation. Our preceding presentation has chiefly been directed to fundamental princi ples and universal laws, but now we must apply these principles to the facts of actual life. The Business Men's Educator's Associa tion held another interesting session. In the morning a paper was read bv Mrs. Spencer, of Washington, D. C, on "The Possibility of Business College Work," which was fol- loweu uyaiieiy uiscusawu, m - ..-. ... took part. The afternoon was devoted to discusiious on arithmetic In the morning session Mr. E.

FLYERS No Disorder Among ihe Crowd In At tendance, no Betting- nnd so Gnnibllns; Religious Training; I o good Thins; lor norset. 8abanac,'Mich., July2tt.-r"Oh, happy day that fixed my choice," sang Parson J. W. Amy this morning as he saw that the day for his now world-celebrated races was to be fair and favorable. At the 10 o'clock the crowds began to make their way to the race track, and by 10:30 tbe bleaching boards and the grand stand were crowded. Everything was quiet and orderly as a well regnlated church picnic All the events were half a mile, best two ip three. The first event was the three-mile race. vEacn-Srwner'llrove"THs,OWil.h.Orsc The con testants started well together, bnt Arny's Amy quickly showed the religious training she had enjoyed, and she forged forward at a tremendous pace, coming under the wire in 1:202. Parson Amy was greeted with hearty applause, and his little nag was showered with bouquets and good words. In the second heat Amy again came off more than conqueror, making the half mile in 121. Shout after shont followed this and the good Parson raised aloft his hands as though deprecating the noise or about to dismiss the congregation. However, he thought better of it, and the, second race was called. It was a eon test between 3-year-olds, and was partici pated in by Arny's Bogce and two other entries. Again tbe Parson's excellent work showed itself, Bogge taking the heat in 1:40. The second heat and race was won easily by Bopge in 1:44. Parson Arny's colt won the third race, it being a walk away. After the races were concluded athletic and field sports were participated in and a general good time had. There were no bet ting on the races or gambling oa the grounds. In an interview Parson Amy said that he had been active ip getting the races up because no one else did it and he wanted it done. As to rqcing, he was bound to enjoy it, and was sorry it had been so much abused. Good people had never thought it wrong for him to try his own speed at foot races while at college, and he asked why should they object to his trying the speed of bis. horses. SUICIDE OF A BANE DIBECTOE. Sickness and Despondency the Cnnie of the Rash Deed, rSPICtAt TELZOBA.M TO THE DISrATCin DAYTON, O., July 26. The friends of O. M.

Mr. Oblinger is a well known citizen of this county, and had the confidence ot the farmers and busi nessmen, and everybody thought he was the last man to take- his own life, but this morning, while his wife went to the bakers for bread Oblinger went upstairs," tied a rope to the transom.made a loop, got on a chair and stepped off into eternity. He leaves a wife and four children. Sick ness and despondency supposed to be the cause. SEEHONS IN THE VALLEY. Thousands Gntbsr at n Great Spndny Camp Meetinc.

The plans for the edifice are nearly ready, and there is every indica tion that it will be as handsome as any in the borough. It will be of brick, and will be situated on, the corner of South and Coal streets. A proof that the church will be commodious and beautiful appears in the fact that its cost will be $12,000. DIED.

Cent tnucd from First JPaqe. been grasped in the spileful hands of a de-'i moo, which crumbled it into fragments. The beautiful windows were torn as though they were paper screens. Having toppled over the steeple and demolished the win dows, the roof was next attacked. A sec tion of it and the entire rear end were torn out and wasted into rubbish. The wrecks on Springfield street were in many cases complete. Ten buildings were actually tumbled In fragments into the cellar, yet there are people alive and comparatively uninjured to-night who were carried down with the falling timbers. The wind played with many oi the build ings as a cat might play with a mouse. Several were turned upon their foundations until the front doors were where the back doors ought to have been. The iron bridge of the Boston and Maine Bailroad, over Salem street, was warped and twisted as though its iron girders were made of thin wire. One house was blown over to the east, and while the leeward side was all jammed together the windward front was li;ted fullv aloft in the air. When the owner reached the place fire was beginning to blaze among the ruins. He found his way among the timbers to the sitting room, and there on the floor under the piano he found his wife nnder a pile of brick weigh ing fully 1,000 pounds on top of the piano. A CUEIOUS PBEDICAMENT. At one end of the instrument was a big stick of timber, at the other was all the flooring of the room above, but the piano legs were big and strong so they held up un der all the pressure, so his wife was rescued alive and well. Mrs. Mary Peppcrer, who lived at No. i Springfield street, was trying to shut a door when the cvclone came along. She was picked up and flung into the yard, receiving tevere internal injuries. Her son was lifted 15 feet in the air, and he, too, fell in the back yard. The work of rescuing the living and re moving the bodies of tbe dead was com menced at once by the police, firemen and volunteers. Mary Lyons was found crushed beneath heavy timbers at No. 5, Emmett street. She was dead. Mamie O'Connell. 14 years old, was pulled out ot the ruins at No. 19 Springfield street, with her neck broken and badly mangled. Mrs. Jeremiah O'Connell, her mother, was found erased to death at the same place. Helen Cutler, 11 years old, was standing on the Salem street bridge when the storm swept over it. She was blown into the street below, and died from concussion bf the brain. Tbe body of Mrs. John Collins was found in the ruins of her home on Portla'nd street. The lifeless arms of the mother was holding tightly the dead body of her 4-year-old child. Julia Betty, 10 years old, was also found dead in the ruins on Portland street. CAEBIED THBEE HUNDRED TARDS. Michael Higgins,, the switch tender at Sontb Lawrence, gits on a little observatory near the track. It is tall and narrow. When the storm struck it he was handling the brakes to switch off a freight train. The house in which he sat was taken up and carried some 300 yards. When it fell it was a mass of kindling wood. Higgins was picked up dead, his neck being broken. Blersa Haffner displayed great heroism in rescuing six little children from a house which was tumbling. Although suffering severely from sprained ankle she sought out the children, jumped from the second story window to the ground and then caught the children as they jumped. Mr. C. D. Mody, of Whitehall. N. Y., was an eye witness of 'the catastrophe, and he also assisted in the work of rescue. He gave this graphic story of the storm: "I thought the end of the world had come. One sees such a whirlwind bnt once in a lifetime Any words I can express utterly fail to describe the terrible scene. I never imagined that tornadoes visited this portion of the country, and my surprise was'as great as my fright. There was a terrible fall of rqin, which be gan at 9:05 o'clock. The water came down in heavy sheets, accompanied by claps of thunder. Suddenly there was a more severe concussion than previously, then THROUGH THE DARKNESS I could see boards, branches and debris generally flying in the air. Next door to the office where I was there is a machine shop, and the men employed there rushed frantically for the doors, but their egress was difficult, for every step outside meant danger to life and limb. We all left the dangerous place and hurried to the house of M. H. Cutler, general foreman of the car shops here, which we could see in the dark ness had been blown over. His wife and two of his daughters were in the houses and an other daughter was just returning irom an errand over the Salem street bridge when the terrible thunder clap came. ''The three first mentioned were rescued from the fallen walls without any serions injury beyond a number of severe bruises and cuts, 'but tbe yonng woman crossing the bridge was quite badly hurt, it is feared, in ternally. Near that place were six or eight houses and in less' time than it takes for me to tell they were demolished, the rooTs of some of them being torn off first, when others were toppled from their foundations. Most of the buildings were on the left, but everything was Included in the general wreck and disaster. Some of the houses were thrown clear into the streets blocking the thoroughfare entirely. From Mrs. Cutler's house I went down Salem street and assisted the work of tbe rescuers as much as I could. From Un der one roof I saw five persons taken. None of them were dead, but all were severely in jnred and mangled terribly. One of them, a 0-year-old boy, had his arm broken in five places, and in his terror and agony shouted pathetically, 'MAMA, MAMA,' while she, almost as badly injured, was on her knees in the street thanking God with uplifted hands that her little family was no worse off. From another house a woman was brought out almost naked. Heavy timbers bad her a prisoner, and jn her strug gles to free herself from what seemed an awfnl death, she had torn almost all her clothing from-her body. There were about 70 men at work at her'house belorq she was rescued. With her long gray hair stream ing down her hack, this old lady she was almost 60 years old was carried into an opposite house, wbiph had beep almost com pletefy wrecked, with blood almost pouring from the wounds in her body. Two of her teeth hung by shreads from her torn and bloody mouth. Hf SAKE AT HIS BBJDAL. An Iowa Farmer Become a Ravins Maniac He U to be Wed. Wapello, Ia., July 26.

The Ex-Chancellor's Pofcuant Per ' sonal Sarcasms Which Were AIMED AT EMPEROR WILLIAM Have Led to the Arrangement for a Con ciliatory Meeting. A CHANGE IN THE RUSSIAN POLICY Regarding the Bulgarian Matter is Anitranced-lleet. ins tt Socialists Called.' Prince Bismarck's Indiscreet utterances have caused considerable feeling on the part of the Emperor, and an attempt will be made to suppress his remarks. Bussia will modify its policy in the Balkans. COPYBIGHTEP 1890. BY THE NEW TOEK ASSOCI ATED PEES S. J Berlin, July 20. Emperor William will arrive on Monday at Wilhelmshaven, where he will hold a Ministerial Council. Tbe officials here do not expect that he will come to Berlin, ns his programme is so crowded that he will hardly have time to visit the capital. It is whispered, that busy as the Emperor may be, he has sent a communication to Prince Bismarck, intimating a design to make a short visit at Friedrichsruhe. The Emperor is utterly averse to all pub lic action against tbe Prince on account of his public utterances on state affairs, and desires a conciliatory meeting with his former chancellor. Besides the annoyance arising from Bismarck's rmhlished inter view, the Emperor must have been stung by the Prince's mauy personal sarcasms, made with the apparent intention that they should be repeated in the Court circle. WORRYING THE EMPEROR. The question of how to silence Bismarck probably occupies the Kaiser's mind fully as much as do the critical developments in the East. Meantime all Idea of adopting legal measures to suppress the ex-Chancel-or's utterances have been abandoned. Prince Bismarck has paved the wav for an amicable meeting by a letter sent to Chan cellor Von Caprlvi in an inquiry connected with the business of Cbancellerie, in whieh he expressed a desire to see the Emperor as soon as he returned from Norway. The Emperor will return from England on August 8, and will pass a week at Pots dam before starting for Bussia. Archduke Karl Ludwig, heir to the Austrian throne, will meet Emperor William and the Czar at the camp at Narva, on August 17. On tbe 25th the Emperor and tbe Archduke will bid goodby to the Czar. Within a month, therelore, it will be" known whether tbe German-Austrian relations with Bussia will be more friendly or strained to the point of rupture. PROSPECTS OF PEACE. The Grashdonin of St, Petersbnrg, edited b.v Prince MesteshersKy, which is credited with an occasional inspiration by the Czar, says the Bussian policy is on the eve of a change which will harmonize the German and Bussian policies in the Balkans; that negotiations are coming to a climax, and that tbe interviews will re-establish clauses in the Berlin treaty whieh are now violated. The basis of the expected arrangements ap pears to be tbe Czar's acceptance of Em peror William's candidate for tbe Bulgarian throne. Events in Bulgaria, however, may precipitate a revolution and nullify the Emperor's diplomacy before tbe rnlers confer. In view or a failure of tbe negotiations, leading to a final rupture with Bussia, the Emperor, during his recent visits to Copen hagen and Christiania, revived the proposal for a Scandinavian coalition, including the realisorption oi Finland by Sweden. The Czar's ukase, tending toward a complete Russifying of Finland, created a feeling of intense discontent, which is ripsning to re volt The Emperor offered King Oscar as ine price oi Sweden's entry In the Dreipund the prospective restoration of Finland. THE EX-CHANCELLOR'S VIEWS. Prince Bismarck, giving the Jfovot Vremya correspondent a second interview, deptqred the menacing aspect of affairs and said he felt that it was now more than ever his chief duty to try and assure the peace of Europe. Why he asked, should Germany continue to regard Bussia as an inevitable enemy. At the present moment, he said, absolutely no reason existed for a German war with Bussia, and an attack on Bussia by the Germans was inconceivable on any good grounds. Germany's energies ought to be concen trated in dealing with the dangers of Socialism. The longer the State gave away to the Anarchists' demand the bloodier would be the issue. The whole tenor of the interview suggests that Bismarck, if un reconciled to the Kaiser, will become a formidable opponent in any line of foreign policy involving a quarrel with Bussia. The language of tbe Fofits Tribune, which is edited by the Extremist, Schippel, for bodes increasing friction between tbe sec tions of the Bocialist parly, Herr Lieb koecht's paper, the Volksblatt, declares that the Berlin Congress will prove the solidar ity of the party and show the world a united German democracy prepared to com bat with new arms on a vaster battle field. As to individuals who manifest' a lack of discipline, the Volksblatt settles them by chasing them out of the party. Herr Schippel hasn't tbe bull of the Social ists behind him, but what he wants in num bers he makes up in the fervor of his ideas, and his unwearied propaganda is fast con verting the masses from the policy of me diation advocated by the older Socialists. The Dresden Arbeitef Zeitung and the Magdeburg Volkstimme accurately reflect the leeling of the more extreme side in ac cusing Bebel and Liebkhecht of exercising a choking influence on Socialist activities and enervating the proletarian agitation. NOTES OP THE GERMAN CAPITAL. Herr Ritterhaus, the correspondent who interviewed Prince Bismarck on behalf of the Frankfort Journal, is about to insti tute proceedings against the Berlin Post for chargipg him with falsifying Bismarck's statements. Herr Ritterhaus intends to call Prince Bismarck to testify at tbe trial pf bis suit. The operation performed by Prof. Fuchs, of Vienna, on the eyes of theShah's first wife, has proved unsuccessful and she is now totally blind, Berlin oculists do not blame Prof. Fuchs as he warned the patient that it was too late for him to guarantee that the operation would be a success. The Empress Frederick has pressed Queen Victoria to be present at tbe wedding ot the Princess Victoria in November. Her Majesty has expressed a desire to be pres ent and will do so if her physicians approve of her venturing the risks 'of a winter jour ney.

IS He Wants S35 for Taitlne Cars of a Dead Boy. nnd tbo Father Thinks It's Too HIeb Tlio Dodj in Charge of a Con amble. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.' Cincinnati, July 26. A strange fight is in progress in Newport, Ky., over a corpse. The various turns of this legal squabble have resulted in a number of new and interesting points being made. .The case involves the possession of a corpse for debt. While on a visit in Newsport the young son of Thomas F. Cassell, a promi nent negro lawyer of Memphis, was drowned. After several days had elapsed the body was recovered from the river. This was on last Fridav. The corpse was taken eare of by Gus Menninger, an under taker. It was badly decomposed, but he embalmed and dressed it, and kept the corpse on ice until the arrival of tbe boy's father. He arrived in Newport on last Monday. Cassell sent a negro undertaker named Porter to get the body and ship it. Menninger refused to allow the corpse to leave his establishment withont the pay ment of his charges, f35. This amount Cassells considered exorbi tant and relused to pay. He went before 'Squire McLaughlin and replevined the corpse. Menninger in return sued for $35 and attempted to hold the corpse for security. This is the perplexing part of the case. Cas sell's attorney arguei that there isno market value on a corpse, and that there cannot be alien upon it for debt no more than a doctor could have on a live person for services rendered. 'Squire McLaughlin was unable to find any precedent upon which this claim could be based, and he took the case under advise ment. In the meantime the corpse has been placed in a vault under the charge of a con stable, and cannot be shipped to Memphis lor burial until a decision is reached. THE BOY DE0V2 And It Resulted In a Runaway and a Smash-Up. Last night about 6 o'clock an Indian pony attached to a sullcy came tearing down Carson street. When near Twen tieth street the snlky veered onto one wheel and the spectators on the s reet were horrified as they saw the horse make a lunge toward the pavement, and a man and boy frantically trying to save themselves. The horse, man, boy and sulky all weqt down in a heap, and the crowd that gathered exprected surely that the boy was killed, but he partly crawled and was partly helped out from under the horse. His first words were: "Where is my bat?" He had been allowed to drive the horse, and in making the turn from tbe car track dished the wheel and scared the horse. OPPOSED TO THE BOYCOTT. Action of tbe Citizens of Colnmbns, Go., on tbe Lortse' Bill. " Colttmbus.'Ga., July 26. A large and enthnsiastic meeting of citizens was held to-day in response to a newspaper call to consider what action should be taken re garding the force bill. Tbe resolutions were unanimously adopted condemning the bill. They contained the following clause: Rasolved, That the suggestion of a commer cial boycott is utterly repugnant to onr Visits as unwise, unjust and unequal to the situation, bnt that wo do in all sincerity be lieve the passage of the force bill will serionsly jeopardize and endanger the ontire commercial interests of tbe South: that it threatens its financial integritv, will cause stagnation of the now rapidly advancing pros perity and involve onrselves and onr Northern friends in common rnin. We do. therefore, cordiallyinvite tbe co-operation of all patriotic men, North and South, and especially those representing tbe commercial interests of tbe whule country to mute with ns in opposing and defeating this dangerous, iniquitous and partisan measure. WANT SHORTER HOURS. Fifteen Hundred linkers of Chicago Quit Work Witbont Nollce. Chicago. July 26, Fifteen hundred journeymen bakers all members qi" the Ger man Union in Chicago quit work to-night without a moment's notice. The strike is to enforee a demand Ipr two hours less-wort on Saturdays. There has been considerable friction between the journey men and the proprietors of smaller bakeries, in which most of the craftsmen of the Ger man Union are employed. To-nighttle uqion held a secret meeting and decided upon an immediate strike. The Journeymens' Executive Committee announced that they would be at their headquarters to receive any communication irom the Bosses' Association. Unless the dispute is quickly settled there is a large chance that the bakers of other nationalities in the citv, numbering probably 1,500 men aflditiona'l, will also go on a strike.

Bolh State Chairmen Prepared for the Opening of the Campaign, NEITHEEJS TALKIKGTEEX MUCH, Apparent! Being Anxious tot tha Other to BhoTT Ills Hand. THE BEA7B SUITS TO BE PRESSED. Dr. M cKivnej Says That Ihs IansUeaUui Will be Ferced to a rinlia. Political headquarters will be speedily opened by both parties in Philadelphia, al though neither Chairman has yet pub licly announced his plan of cam paign. 'The Democrats assert that everything is harmonious within the party ranks. John W. Morrison is second in command at the Republican fount of in spiration. SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO TUX DISrATCH.l Philadelphia, Jnly 26. The Btate chairmen of both the great parties have made the first move in the fight by select ing headquarters from which the ammuni tion, in the shape of campaign literature, will be fired. The Republican headquarters, at tbe Continental Hotel, will be opened in a lively way about August 1, while the Democratic headquarters will open up at 1416 South Penn 'square, just as soon as the building is placed in proper condition. Chairman Andrews, on the Repub lican side has had the experience of one State campaign, which will be of benefit to him, while Congressman Kerr, who has heen chosen as the Democratic leader, will hackle on his armor for the" first time in a State fight. The Chairmen of tbe State Committees, who are just now busily engaged shaping their lines for the contest, are keeping very quiet regardiug their intentions, and it looks as though one is waiting for the other to "show his band." Chairman Andrews has a persona, as well as political interest in the success of his candidate. Both An drews and Delamater hail from Crawford county, and the Republican State Chairman has been nominated by the Crawford County Convention as the candidate to succeed Del amater in tbe Senate. For years "both have been in politics together, and Andrews will leave no stone unturned to make his man a winner. Delamater and Andrews left the city together to-day for Spring Lake, where the family ot the latter is summering. They will remain there until Monday, when they will return here to consult with the local Republican leaders. While Chairman Andrews is absent from the city the State headquarters are in charge of Chief Clerk John W. Morrison. Few of the out-of-town Wallace leaders have put in an appearance in this city since the Scranton convention was held, hut the local Democratic leaders, who are on the alert, claim that whatever bad feel ing existed among the Wallaceites because of ex-Governor Pattison's nomination has since died out, and that the desired harmony has been secured. IN THE SEVENTH DISTRICT. ONE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE HAS WITH DRAWN. Harmony In the Party Of nst be Preserved nt Any Cost Tbe Prabnbfa Winner In the Convention Democrats All at Sea as to a Ijender ia the Contest. r SPECIAL TKLEQBAll TO THB DISPATCH. J Noeeistown, Jnly 26, Theodore W. Bean, a prominent candidate for the Repub lican nomination in tbe Seventh Congres sional district, to-day announced positively that he declines to be longer regarded as a candidate and withdraws his name from all consideration before the Republiean Congressional Convention of the district. It was known to his friends that he did not propose to enter into a contest for the nomination, believing that such a course at this time would be preindicial to party interests. This sentiment has been general among his con nection, and there has nowhere been any disposition to insist upon a nomination that would not be thoroughly acceptable to'the Republicans generally. There are, there fore, at present but two men in the field for the Republican nomination for Congress in this distriet. Irving P. Wanger and Charles Heber Clark, and Wanger will probably be conceded the nomination with out a ballot. He is regarded as the strongest man of the two lor the impending struggles. The names of Messes. Young, Bean and Bosler, for some time before the public, have been withdrawn at their ovrn request. The voters of tbe two counties, there fore, who are asked to select Mr. Yardley's successor can take their choice of the two named, or, as is their undoubted right, can select some one else from among the available Republicans of the district The delegates'-election will occnr on Saturday evening, August 23, and the convention to nominate will convene at Lansdale on the Tuesday following. The Democrats of the district are awaiting" developments since they are notoriously deficient in material to make anything like a hopeful canvass. It is gen erally agreed among them that it will not do to name Senator Ross, of Boylestown, who has already been twice defeated in 1884 by Hon. I. E. Newton Evans, and in 1888 by Hon. Robert if. Yardley because tbe custom in the dis trict requires that tbe office shall be filled by tbe coming term Dy a citizen of Montgomery county. Besides, Mr. Ross well-known free trade views render him obnoxious to protectionists, and make him a weak candidate, as experience has shown. Among the names canvassed by the Democratic man agers are those of Charles Hnnsicker, Esq., ex-Judge Hiram C. Hoover, Dr. H. D. Markley and Edwin Hallowell. E. L. Acker would accept the nomination and the friends of ex-Senator Will iam Henry Sutton, of Lower Mercer, are out with a petition in his behalf. Petitions don't couqt for much, however, with the party managers, apd the Democrats are entirely at seain the matter of a candi date for Congress. Those who would be strong with tbe farmers are weak elsewhere, and the situation is decidedly uncertain. NEITHER FEAR HOB FAVOR To Prevent ihe Thorough Investigation of That Bribery Scandal. rericiAL telegham to the dispatch. l New Bbighton, July 26. Dr. McKin ney, in an interview, says he has never di rected any delay in the arrest of Wallace, but has steadily insisted on his prompt arrest and a thorough investigation. The delay of the arrest was due to the action pi the attorneys with a view of getting their testimony fully arranged for a hearing. They prom ised him the delay would only be for this week, and be yielded to their desire against his own judgment; has again insisted on the immediate arrest, and fhey have prom ised to have it done at once. He says so far as his knowledge extends Townsend's nomination two jrears ago was made without the use of money in any way to bribe Or influence any elector, and any one who knows Townsend knows he would not have accepted any such nomina tion,; that his pwn hands were and are entirely clean ip this matter, and that if they had any foundation for their insinua tions they would, have gone for Townsend and his friends long ago. $Ie further said that no consideration of either fear or favo shall ever cauls him- to let np on or slur R ever this Investigation until la anil truth are thoroughly yindicathd.

MADE IN AN EASTERN PAPER. Of I In- $356,831 Sr Received Only 815a 650 Wn. Applied Directly ( tbe -Belief, of tbo So Acre r The. Tisanes Cem nlttee Criticised. NEW Yobk, July 26. The Herald to day publishes from a correspondent writing from Johnstown, Pa., a snmmary' ot re ceipts and expenditures of the Johnstown Flood Finance Committee as follows: All told tnis committee has received S356.82127. Of this S158.650 was paid ont in the "510 a head distribution," and this is the only part of the fund that was ap plied directly to the relief of the people. Of the remainder abont $100,000 was ex pended by the various committees, clerk hire and incidental expenses, including $40,803 05 paid to the Fire Department and 528,098 11 paid in the first few days for re movinj; the debris and dead bo3ies and which was afterwards charged to the State; but no settlement of this aceonnt by the State has been made and the prospects are not good that it will ever be. There is yet in the hands of the committee about f 100,000, most of whieh the committee intends to ap ply to building bridges. The action of this committee in using so much of this money for the Fire Depart ment, and especially for building bridges, has been severely criticised, the claim which is seemingly well founded being made that it does not go to the relief of the needy, bnt, instead, is adding'to the wealth of the property holders and men of means by relieving them of taxes, the benefit of which they will solely enjoy. This com mittee has also been much criticised be cause no statement of its work was ever given to the public, it only being in a gen eral way that the people were informed that mnch of the money was being applied to building bridges and the like. Just bow much or how little tbe auditing committee will find out is hard to tell, but with tbe mass of figures presented to them it is doubtful if they will discover, as I did to-day, that a prominent citizen has drawn big pay for several weeks from two commit tees, covering the same time. As to the receipts money has been re ceived from every State in the Union and from nearlv every country in the world. Pennsvlvania leads with 581,502 38. Ohio snt $00,918 93, New York follows with $52, 425 09 and New Jersey with $41,468 53. Among other receipts 53,145 49 was band ed over by the morgue authorities this morning, having been taken from the bod ies of the unidentified dead. Among the anonymous contributions was one of $821 found in a bag of beans. In a superficial examination of these ac counts it is observed that all received pay for their work and that little work was done that was not paid for, even the citizens who assisted in carrying their own dead in the first days sending in a bill. An auditing of the accounts of this com mittee is promised soon, and perhaps a full statement will then be published. GUATEMALA'S QUEER HOTEL. It Is Earthqanke Proof, and Insects Are Used to Call tbe Gnosis. Chicago Trlbnne.l "The queerest hotel in the world is in Guatemala City." said an English tourist, who is stopping at the Richelieu. "While, there a few weeks ago I stopped a day at the biggest hostelry, and met with more sur prises than Ihave previously encountered in my trip aronud the world. The house is bnilt only one story high on account of the earthquakes. It is constructed in the form of a hollow sqnare, and the interior court ishnade beantiful with trees and flowers. The exterior presents the appearance of a prison. "After pounding a high knocker on the outer door you are ushered into 9 scene of verdant beauty. The hotel was formerly the private residence of one ot the richest families of Central America, but the owner was banished by President Barrios for an alleged conspiracy against the Government. Around the interior were balconies over looking a garden filled with orange and peach trees, palms and beautiful flowers. The fare was good, and we had our ehoiee of pancakes, with honey, fish, poultry, fruits and coffee and chocolate. You-can't eat there if you are in a hurry, though only one thing is served at a time, and you can't get a cup of coffee nntil everything else has been served. The hotel furnishes candles, but matches are extra. "Then there is a system of calling the guests which entitles the hotel to tbe name of the queerest one on the earth. You are called by flies. Tbe flies down there are nearly as large as an Eoglfsh sparrow, and they sting like a hornet, though the bite is not poisonous. They never kill them, but brush tbem away. The halls of the hotel are filled with these pests in tbe morning. Over each door is a transom. Now, if you have a call for 7 o'clock your transom is opened at 7, and tbe flies go in. Do they wake you? I should say so. The sensation is like that of being sandbagged. In five min utes from the time yonr transom is opened you are downstairs looking for the propri etor. It doesn't do any good to kick, though, for that system has been the custom for years. GOING TO BE FBOUOTED. Senor Romero Called tolbe Mexican Capital bv President Diaz. .SFICIAL TBLEOBAilTO THE DISPATCH.1 San Antonio, Tex., July 26. SenorJM. Romero, Mexican Minister at Washington, reached this city to-day en route to the City of Mexico." In an interview, he disclaimed all political significance in his visit borne, which he said was a purely personal one, he having been away from Mexico for 6 years. Intimate friends of Romero here, however, declare that he is going to Mexico in response to a call from President Diaz, who intends promoting him to an important post in the Ministry, probably to succeed Finance Minister Dublan. Senor Romero said that the Central Amer ican war is a very bad thing for Mexicp,and the rupture had progressed to that stage where arbitration was absolutely out of the question.

The People .There Were Only Too Glad to" lieceire Him. GREAT FDTDEE BEF0EE THE ISLAKD. The Bajid Strides in Cirilization Mada la the Lut Twenty Tears. Frederick Douglass, United States Min ister to Hayti, is at Washington on a two months' leave of absence. He denies that he was snubbed because of his color upon his arrival at the tropical island, and speaks in the highest terms of the progress made there. :stzctax. tiled ha to tbi du patch. 1 Washington, July 26. "Six days by water and as many hours by land," said Hon. Frederick Douglass. United States Minister to Hayti, to a Dispatch reporter this evening, "brought me from Port Alt Prince to Washington, and my watch, set by the vertical sun of that tropical land, is but a few minntes out of the way here, so nearly north has been my line of travel." "I secured a 60-days leave from the State Department," said the Haytian Minister, in explanation of bis return to Washington. "I may still look strong, but time is telling: on me, and the ten months in Hayti has made mv step less firm. I enjoyed another birthdav while away, being now past 73, and when I see again tbe beauties of Wash ington and taste the joys of my own home, I wonder why, in my closing years, I should be robbed ot all these blessings. GREAT POSSIBILITIES. "But Port-au Prince ia a beautiful city, too, and I can hardly imagine the possibili ties of that land under the hands of thrifty Americans. The climate is tropical and all tropical fruits abound in prolusion almost withont tbe effort ot man. These conditions invite to leisure, even to indolence, and possibly our own people conld not long resist such seductive charms. I may al most say the people find their wants sup plied oa every bush, and merely pick what they need for a living. Tbe chief product is coffee, and the Government expense of 55,000,000 annually is more than supplied by an export duty on this luxury. Mahog any and logwood are also extensively ex ported, and a country cannot be deemed a lazy one that carries on so great a com merce in proportion to population." "What of the statements that Hayti thouzht the United States should have sent a white man to represent ns there?" "Such statements were published in the press of the United States, but were without the slightest foundation. The population of that country is composed of black and colored people, whs are proud to see one of their number honored with any public trust. My stay there has been extremely pleasant, so Jar as my relation with that Government is con cerned. It would be more pleasant for me there if I were familiar with French, which, is the official language of the eountry." "What is the condition of the present Government and the probable future of the country, Mr. Douglass?" A LOVE OF CHANGE. When Legitime was driven out of the country by the revolution a year ago, and Hippolite, the opposing military leader, was chosen President in a constitntional way, and has since preserved peaee and main tained a stronghold on the people giving evidence of the permanence of his 'Gov ernment. He is an amiable man, bur By no means a weak one. As to the future of the eountry I will say in a word that, taking everything into consideration I have come to the Hibernian conclnsion that Hayti's future is before her. There is in Hayti a love of change and a vacillation of policy that seems hard to remove, but it is a great deal for a people to rise as they have done from the most abject slavery by a revolution that was condemned as cruel and brutal by all Christian countries, and the Haytians held in abhorrence for their achievement of lib erty. Though the slave holding nations, in cluding our own America, refused for many years to recognize me new uoveru ment, it was maintained by the self-emancipated slaves of a tame and tropical climate, and that fact alone is some assurance for their fnture. One President was continued in power for 25 years, and several have held the chair for eight years. A CONSTITUTION LIKE OUBS. They have a constitution in many ways similar to our own. a House and Senate, and a judiciary. The people are generally mixed with French when not pure blacks, and have many French characteristics of thought and action. They have progressed as rapidly as any people ot similar antecedents would have done, and I have great hopes for their futnre. I visited tbe country 20 years ago, and oa my return there ten months ago I saw p marked improvement. The schools are better and more generally attended, and the people are better and more modestly clothed. True one may still see nude chil dren.on the streets, bnt this is the exception and by no means the rule. I have seen hundreds of neatly-attired and well-behaved children on their way to and from school. The schools are mostly tanght by Catholic priests, the Catholic religion being recog nized by the State. Hayti, however, enjoys freedom of wor ship, and in Port-an-Prinee there are sev eral Episcopal and Methodist churches. The climate, as I have said. Invites to ease. It is said that if you want tea to show its strength you must put it in hot water, and so mankind Jshows its mettle most when placed under the lash and sting of necessity. A HEALTHY COUNTRY. "I met many Europeans there who had been in the country from 10 to 30 years and assured me they had enjoyed as good health there as in any part of Europe or the United States. Port-au-Prince, situated as it is on the head of a magnificent bay, little inrerior to the bay of Naples, is a beautiful city, but being welled in on two sides with a lolty mountain which shut out northern winds, it is exceptionally hot under the vertical sun of this season. Europeans cannot, until acclimated, safely expose themselves to the direct rays of the'suu, and as for myself, I had to keep in the shade to keep on my tops at all. Native black men are often lound who speak fluently several languages, and they are engaged in every branch of trade." "Did reporters bore yon there?" "Hayti has no daily newspapers, ana therelore I escaped one affliction," he re marked good-naturedly, "but thev hate weekly papers that are successfully con ducted bycolored men." Mr. Douglass will spend his leave quietly at his home here and return to his post when, the autumn comes again.
