Messrs. Bigelow, Scott and Carnehan
have returned from their interview with
Sirs. Schenley. They announce that the
trip wasentirely successful. An option
was secured on the land necessary for the
park entrance, and there the library will be
located. Another site has been set apart

and also in Hardscrabble.
rfrECIAL TEX.EGBAU TO THE DISPATCH.?
KewYokk, September 1. The bridge
connecting the steamer Servia with her dock
on tbe North river was scarcely in place
this morning before a party of well-known
Pittsburgers, consisting of E. M. Bigelow,
Chief of the Department of Public "Works,
James B. Scott, member of the Carnegie Li
brary Commission, and Thomas D. Carna
han, nttorney-at-law, walked down upon
the pier. These gentlemen had gone as a
committee in the interest of the city of Pitts
burg to interview Mrs. Schenley, of London,
in regard to the transfer of a certain strip of
ground desired by the city of Pittsburg for
an entrance to Schenley Park.
Tbe Characteristic Pittsburg Energr.
With an energy characteristic of the
Fittsburger, the gentlemen were about tbe
first to place foot npon American soil and
the very first to tackle the customs officers
with regard to baggage. Mr. Scott was dis
covered at the box office of Uncle Sam
writing dispatches, while he talked with an
official. When he was accosted by the cor
respondent of The Dispatch he appeared
to be very much, surprised, if one may prop
erly say that Mr. Scott can be surprised at
anything.
"Yes." said he, "we are back safe and
sonnd, and right glad I am of it, too. "We
had a very pleasant trip going out, but on
the return we encountered a very great deal
of rough weather. I am just telegraphing
friends in Pittsburg that I will be there in
the morning. Mr. Carnahan goes on im
mediately. You must follow me around
this baggage if you expect rne to talk to
you," said Mr. Scott, and we threaded onr
way among several hundred passengers set
tingupon their various possessions over the
dock.
Nothing Mysterious Abont It.
"When we had leached an obscure corner
we met Mr. Bigelow and his wife, who had
been with him on the trip, and Mr. Carna
han, agent and counsel ior Mrs. Schenley.
Mr. Bigelow had been suffering from sea
sickness during the trip and did not seem to
be very communicative.
'There is nothing mysterious about this,"
continued Mr. Scott, "and I may as well say
we accomplished what we started out to do.
"We called upon Mrs. Schenley at her resi
dence in London. She was not at home, be
ing at her seaside residence at Eastport,
about 15 miles from Brighton, on the .Eng
lish Channel. She passes her summers there,
and in the winter resides in London. Mrs.
Schenley is a very charming lady. She is
tall, well proportioned, and abont 55 or CO
years of age. She is a woman with a very
active mind, is a large property holder in
the city of Pittsburg, and
Takes n Grent Interest
in the welfare of the place. She is a thorough-going
business woman, and, although
she has not been in America for 30 years,
she is very well posted on the values of
Pittsburg real estate. She expects to visit
us within the coming year. She is also a
large property holder in Illinois, I be
lieve." "What was the nature of your under
standing with Mrs. Schenley in regard to
the park entrance?"
"Well, that matter belongs rather to Mr.
Bigelow than to me," said Mr. Scott, open
ing his luggage at this point for the require
ment of the customs regulations, and, hav
ing had the evidence ot that chalked on the
bottom of his brand new valise, Mr. Scdtt
continued. "Mr. Bigelow, you know,
represents the city of Pittsburg in this mat
ter, and it is not ior me to anticipate what
be might say. I represent in the matter the
Carnegie library scheme, and am not a city
official."
The Object or the, Visit Attained.
After a vain search among the crowd for
Mr. Bigelow, The Dispatch man returned
again to the attack on Mr. Scott.
"I told you that we accomplished what
we went for. Mr. Bigelow has the contract
in his pocket, which, when ratified by the
city authorities of Pittsburg, will gives us
tbe ground necessary for the Forbes avenue
entrance."
"Will this include ground for the erec
tion of the Carnegie Free Library?"
"I cannot say just what the Library Com
mission will do in advance of tbe purchase
of the ground by the city. It is counting
our chickens be'ore they are batched. The
people of Pittsburg, however, are fully
aware of what the intentions of the commis
sion are under certain circumstances. Of
course everybody knows that we are inter
ested, and if we were not I should not have
gone over the water."
It Is Simply an Option.
"What is the nature of this contract of
which you speak?"
"Mr. Big elow will tell you that It is
simply an option by which the city of Pitts
burg has the privilege of purchasing the
tract of land in qnestion. No, I cannot
name the exact amount of the option. Tho
ground is worth, it is said, in the neighbor
hood of 200,000. It really isn't worth any
where near that sum. Our option is very
much less, very much less," repeated Mr.
Scott. "The exact amount I am not at
liberty to give you. If Mr. Bigelow wishes
to, that is his privilege. In my opinion,
however, he will reserve that to report first
to the city officials. The price will be very
satis'actory to the city and to the people of
Pittsburg. There is not a shadow of doubt
but what Councils will ratify the con
tract and the c'ty will have what it most
needed to complete a lovely park."
Bigelow Talks nt Last. .
Mr. Bigelow was seen later in the day at
his hotel. He expressed himself as de
lighted with the results of the trip, but is
still sore internally over the trip itself.
"Mrs. Schenley," he said, "is as much in
terested in the success and future ot our
park as we could be. She is thoroughly
posted on what is going on. She lives in
London, directly opposite the famous Hyde
Park, and realizes the value of such a
breathing space in the heart of a great city.
'Make it a park for the people.' said she; 'a
place where the masses will find welcome
and entertainment'
"She had read the accounts of the Fourth
of July crowd that enjoyed itself there, and
declared that she wanted no better evidence
ot tbe utility of the .scheme. She will be
over at
The Opening of tbe Park,
probably next June. She inquired all about
the steamship service, and has evidently
been already considering the trip. You can
believe she will get a rousing greeting of
welcome from the people ot Pittsburg when
she does come."
"Can you give me any information as to
the terms of the contract for tbe Forbes
avenue entrance land?"
"No; that matter goes by courtesy to the
Councils of Pittsburg. I will only say that
it is quite favorable to us. I believed we
would get liberal terms, too, and we came
back fully satisfied with the concession
The City Councils will ratify it without
doubt, so the matter is as good as settled."
"How about the Carnegie Free Librarv?"
"It will be on the ground desired. Mrs.
Schenley favors that plan. 'It is for the
people,' she said, 'and a free library, mus
eum, and zoological garden will help out
the grand scheme for the public benefit
Tbey ought to be together near the entrance
to the park.'"
A Blind Asylum Site.
"And the blind asylum?"
"Sne has suggested a place for that which
will be satisfactory."
"On her property?"
"Yes, but I cannot tell yon where it is to
be. That is a matter for others to determine,
to say whether her suggestion will be ac
cepted. She spoke of the improvement of
her property on the Point A plan is now
maturing by which this spot will be fully
improved, to keep pace with the growth of
the city. To carry the plan out with the
least hardship to those now occupying the
premises is her earnest desire. She is a no
ble woman. There is another place, called
Hardscrabble, which will be radically im
proved, and through the improvements
made a respectable neighborhood."
"While Mr. Bigelow talked he toyed with
an official envelope containing the agree
ment between Mrs. Schenley, and himself
for the city of Pittsburg.
"We hadto'get this acknowledged "before
the American Consul," he said. "Do you
know that signature?"
New Witnessed the Document.
It was the backhanded chirograpby of
John C. New. At tbe bottom of the paper
was tbe charge 10 10s. "Ten pounds and 10
shillings. Think of that," said Mr. Bige
low. No wonder the London Consulate is
considered a fat office. It cost nsjust$45,
the 1 pound 10 going for actual expenses.
The acknowledgement in Pittsburg would
have been 50 cents. I kicked, but New said
it was the regular fee. It is an outrage."
Mr. Bigelow dwelt proudly upon the
plans for the park improvement, which are
familiar to tbe readers of The Dispatch.
He said he didn't know three days belore
they started abroad that they were going at
all. It was a very sudden turn all round.
The objects being now happily accomplished
he was glad to get back. Mr. Bigelow left
for home this evening.
Scott Arrives In Pittsburg.
Mr. James B. Scott reached this city last
night He had no information to give, ad
ditional to what he told The Dispatch
representative in New York.

Getttsbtjbq, September 1. The veter

day in Camp Abe Patterson, and they re
ceived numerous reinforcements from vari
ous sections of the State. As is al
ways the case on this picturesque
battlefield, the camp was comparatively
dull during the day, the Vets attending the
various dedications and traveling over the
field, reviving memories ,of those bloody
days, and telling to their wives and daugh
ters the story of what transpired here in
1863. The first exercise on the battle
field to-day was the dedication at
Culp's Hill of the tablet of the
Fourteenth Brooklyn Eegiment, known as
the Eighty-fourth New York Infantry.
After tne repulse of the First and Eleventh
Corps on the first day this regiment was as
signed a position in support of General
Geary's division below the first rise at
Culp's Hill, where a bronze tablet has been

the regiment, called the large assemblage to
order and introduced ex-Sheriff Lewis H.
Steggman, who delivered an address in
praise of the prominent part his regiment

preparations to that end have been made.
The Exposition building, however, is on

partner of that gentleman in the very trans
action under suspicion. The discovery of
this fact was reported to tbe House and
caused a re quest for his resignation from the
committee. The inquiry will be suspended
until a new appointment is made.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
"Washington, September L A sensa
tion was created at the Capitol to-day by the
discovery that one of the Bepnblican mem
bers of the committee appointed to investi
gate Pension Commissioner Baum 13 a
partner with that individual in the very en
terprise most directly under inquiry. "When
the committee met to-day the proceedings
were opened by Mr. Cooper, the complain
ant, asserting that the record had been
"doctored," and that unwarranted correc
tions had been made by Commissioner
Banm, and that much matter had been
stricken out. The committee instructed the
stenographer to see that the record was com
plete. Then came the bombshell. Mr. Smyser,
of Ohio, a member of the committee, was
sworn at Cooper's request. He said that he
was a stockholder in the refrigerator com
pany, representing himself and C. "W.
Kauko and P. C. Given, of Ohio, who had
an arrangement with J. B. Taylor and C.
B. Hord, of "Wooster, O. They held 20,200
shares, and had paid $10,000 for them. Wit
ness' share ot the stock had cost him $3,530.
CAEEIED INTO THE HOUSE.
From tbe committee room Mr. Cooper
went at once to the House of Representa
tives, and rising to a question of privilege,
stated that one of thp charges made in the
resolution offered by him for tha investiga
tion ol tne Commissioner ot -Tensions was
that the Commissioner was selling stock in a
refrigerator company to employes of the
Pension Office. He had in vain attempted
to obtain the names of the stockholders in
the concern. To-day he had learned (and
this knowledge was borne out by the testi
mony) that one of the members ot the in
vestigating committee Bepresentative M.
L. Smyser, of Ohio was one of the stock
holders. He (Mr. Cooper) therefore offered
a resolution discharging Mr. Smyser from
the committee and directing the Speaker to
appoint his successor.
Mr. Smyser arose and said that, as a mem
ber of the committee, he had entered upon
the discharge Of his duty, and he had done
it faithfully and well. While he did not
understand, why the fact of his ownership
of stock should affect his standing as a
member of tbe committee, if his colleagues
in the committee were of the opinion that
he was so affected he would yield willingly
and resign his position. , ,
BEQUESTED TO BESIQN.
Mr. Morrill, of Kansas, (chairman of the
committee) said it was due to the Speaker
and to the members of the committee to say
that thi first intimation they had that one
of the members bad stock in the refrigerator
company was when the books were pro
duced. Tbe conduct of the gentleman from
Ohio had been perfectly honorable. He
seemed to be desirous of arriving at the
truth and tbe whole truth. He did not
doubt the gentleman's motives in the least,
but he' hoped now that in order to relieve
other members he would promptly withdraw
from the committee.
Mr. Smyser felt that there was nothing in
the charges against General Baum in any
way affecting him, bnt in order to satisfy
the other side of the Honse and country, in
duty to himself, he most respectfully asked
to be relieved from further service on tbe
committee. The request was granted at
once and tbe investigation will be suspended
until another appointment is made to fill
the vacancy.
BLAIR KICKING AGAIN.
The New Hampshire Senator Is Nursing Tils
Mast Becent Grievance.
FEOM A STAFF COIUIESFOXDEXT.
Washington, September 1. Several
Senators characterized as demagogy the
motion and argument of Senator Blair to
take up and pass the labor bills that have
been passed by tbe House and are before the
Senate. Mr. Hoarsneeringly said that the
Senate had better go on with a bill which
wonld increase the wages of American
workingmen. A little while after Sena
tor Sherman offered an amendment whic'
is intended to bring about reciprocity witl
Canada, and which specially declares that
whenever uanacia snail admit United States
cual free, the United States shall in turn
admit Canadian coal free of duty, which if
the supply of Canadian coal were enoujgh
to affect tbe United States market, noiffd
speedily result in cutting down he
waces of United States coal miners to 'the
rates paid in Canada. At the same time
the word was passed round that Speaker
Beed and Bepresentative McKinley would
both favor the adoption bv the Hojise Lt the
reciprocity amendment offered by Senator
Aldrich a few days ago, in line with the
policy marked out by Secretary Blaine,
though it is admitted that this amendment
is the longest stride toward free trade that
has beerTtaeen by any party since tne tariff
was invented.
"And that is how the Senators whi object
ed to my motiou are working iu the interests
of the American working man," skid Mr,
Blair, speaking of these things this even
ing. "X merely intended to compli'inent the
laboring people on Labor Day by taking up
and passing a bill or two in the Anterest of
their class, which have been passed by the
House. There was no demagopfy about it,
and the real reason why it was objected to is
that tbe bills themselves were .'objected to.
and it is not intended they shall 1 be reached
at all."

FOR PENNY POSTAGE.
A BRITISH ENTHUSIAST CONFERRING
WITH WANAMAKER.
The Postmaster General -Likes the Idea, bnt
Cannot See the Way Clcnr The Monu
ment That He Desires to Leave Behind
His Administration.
rritqM A STAFF COItEESrONDENT.l
Washington, September 1. A plain
little card taken into tbe inner sanctum of
the Postmaster General to-day bore tbe
alliterative name of "Henneke Heaton."
After it followed a gentleman closely
with a bluff and hearty manner
and a typical English face. He
was greeted with the utmost heartiness
by the Postmaster General, and was soon
engaged in close conversation with him.
Tbe visitor was none other than tne noted
English enthusiast in the reform of the
postal service, and he is here to see the
Postmaster General and tbe President and
the Cabinet in regard to cheap International
postage.
"I only called on, the Postmaster General
to pay my respects," said Mr. Henneke
Heaton when he bad emerged from the
room after a half hour of close conversa
tion. "I shall call again to-morrow and
have a prolonged audience in regard to the
great scheme of penny postage to any part
of the world. Why, when you Americans
can ship flour and gram and beef and pork
across the ocean and sell it cheaper than it
is sold in New York and Boston, is there
any good reason whv letters cannot be car
ried as cheaply from America to England
as from San Francisco to New XorKT
When we look at the success of the
penny postage system already in operation
in nearly every country in the world it
seems to me it is about time we should re
duce the postage on the inter-oceanic letter
to the same price. It will pay for itself in
the increase of the number of postage
stamps that will be used. Oh, there is no
doubt of it. But I am not going to give
my arguments to yon before presenting
them to His Excellency, the Postal Minis
ter. Come to me to-morrow."
It may be said that while the project for
cheap international postage fully commends
itself to Mr. Wanamaker, it is his opinion
that the time is not yet ripe for it. The
Postmaster General is an enthusiast for
cheap postage for the United States, and in
tends to make 1 cent postage his monument
as a Cabinet officer. Bnt so long as there is
a deficit of $6,000,000 with an appropriation
of over $70,000,000 lor the postal service, his
business instincts or convictions will not
allow bim to advocate taking the step for 1
cent postage. He believes, however, that
tbe time will come before the end of his ad
ministration, and that he will leave this as
a legacy to the country. It is evident that
Mr. Henneke Heaton will have a good time
while he is here. He will first be feasted
by the Posmaster General, then by the
British Minister, and with these illustrious

Little Bock, September 1. The elec
tion for State officers took place to-day. The
Bepublicans had Indorsed the Union Labor
ticket, and were very hopeful of success.
Information received to-night at Democratic
headquarters indicate a very heavy vote
throughout the State, and promises largely
increased majorities for the Democratic
nominees. No disturbances have been re
ported from any quarter. Tbe Democrats to
night claim 27,000 to 30,000 majority for
Governor Eagle. This, the capital county,
one of the so-called "black counties," re
turns all the Democrats for county offices.
An Associated Press dispatch says: The
State and county elections to-day passed off
quietly, so far as known to this hour (11 P.
M.). Nothing more than a few disturb
ances of the ordinary character have oc
curred, and these did not affect the results.
There was no trouble whatever here. Par
tial returns and estimates received from 30
of the 75 counties in the State in
dicate a largely increased majority
for Governor Eagle and the Democratic
State ticket over two years ag5, when his
majority was 15,000. Democratic majori
ties on county officers and legislators have
been correspondingly increased, and Dem
ocrats claim the State from 25,000 to 30,000
majority.
Iu the third ward and several townships
in this (Pulaski county) doable polling
places were established owing to a charge
that tbe county judge violated the law in
appointing judges of elections. The county
is close aud the result may turn on the

Senator Delamater came to town early in
the day and, proceeded to make himself ac
quainted with everyone. After the con
vention assembled he modestly took
up a position in the crowd of
two or three thousand persons congregated
around tbe stand and intently watched the
proceedings. He was soon recognized, how
ever, and he was kept busy shaking hands
with the farmers until the convention bad
concluded its work. Then some one cried
ont: ''Delamater, onr next Governor!" and
then everybody else did the same thing, and
to this the Gubernatorial candidate quickly
responded by jumping on the platform.
Chairman Thomas introduced him as the
next Governor, which was greeted with much
applause. He made a short speech, which
was heartily applauded, and during which
he said:
Tbe Bepnblican party is one tbat promotes
independence of thought and of action Tbat is
what makes ourconrentionsfreefrom bossism.
And I say to you tbat in tbe future, as far

Beblkt, September 1. A melancholy in
cident occurred to-day in the small village
of Znaid. Judge Scodik, a highly respected
resident, and one who has been local justice
for many years, and a man of some 70
years old, married a girl of 18 about
six months ago. When the newly
made husband found that bis wife's beauty
created such a sensation he became insanely
and morbidly jealous, and limited her going
out and coming in in every possible man
ner. To-day the Judge was entertaining com
pany, among which were two young men
whom he thought had admired his wife
rather more than they should and he there
fore forbade her coming into the
library where they were. During
the afternoon the Judge invited
his guests to tbe parlor for the purpose of
examining some rare Dutch paintings.
Tbey entered tbe room and had got well
iato.the center wben a horrible sight met
them. There, hanging from a curtain pole
in the window, was the dead body of
the young wife, clothed in her
white wedding dress, bearing upon her
head a chaplet of orange blossoms and at
her feet two lighted candles, while pinned
to her dress was a paper and npon it written:
"The cruel suspicion of my hnsband makes
life more than I can bear." The young
woman had fastened the rope around her
neck, bent her knees so as to clear the
ground, and slowly strangled to death.

LrvERPOOii, September 1. The Trades
Congress opened here to-day, 500 delegates,

William Malkin, Secretary of the local
Society of Carpenters and Joiners, was
elected President and Joseph Goodman
Secretary. A motion of sympathy with
the Australian strikers and urging the neces
sity of help being sent to them from
England, was passed unanimously. The
Parliamentary Committee report stated that
the past year had been remarkable lor
activity in the labor world, which will in
crease trades unionism, which the committee
hoped to see further extended. The Presi
dent will deliver an address to-morrow be
fore the whole congress, in which he will
touch upon all tbe vital subjects bearing on
capital and labor.
The London Standard, commenting on
tbe congress says a great struggle is at
hand. If the new unionists triumph it be
lieves the interests of labor will suffer. The
Knights of Labor in the United States were
enrolled to perform practically the same
functions under circumstances exceedingly
favorable to success and yet the Knights
have signally failed to accomplish the re

AV 'interviewed. The day in Pittsburj
wii 1 a complete success.
The local demonstration yesterday, ia
recognition of Labor Day, was eminently
creditable to those who took part in it, and ,
by just as much cast discredit on those who
held aloof. The day was recognized as a
fete day for the American Federation of
Labor and for local unions of independent
national trades unions, but only alter it be
came apparent that tbe Knights of Labor
wonld not participate in the demonstration.
There was an unanimity of opinion that
the display was creditable in the highest
degree, and those acquainted with similar
demonstrations elsewhere said that the Pitts
burg worker was as fine a looking specimen
of humanity as could be found in the conn
try. A glance along the line of march
served but to emphasize this fact, for in
point of physique and general get-up the
paraders yesterday presented an appear
ance that would carry them in any com
pany. The ex-employes of the Westinghousa
Company tnrned out a solid body, and were
the recipients of sympathetic applause
along the route.
The occasion was one significant of some
progress toward the solution of the labor
problem, and, the day's celebrations over,
the natural channel of thought turned in
the direction of the future. It was con
sidered a good oppertunity to gather ex
pressions of opinions regarding their de
sires not fro m tbe labor bodies, but from
the rank and file of the workers 3nd The

Or-
canizatioa Wages Nov Paid.
About tbe first man approached by the in
terviewer was John O'Malley, of Local
Union No. 5011, machinists, who said:
We are working nine hours and expect to
see the eight-hour day put into force next
year. There is plenty of employment for
everybody in the business, and this shows
that trade is good. With the exception of
the men who are on strike at the Westing
house works, every machinist in the city
is working. Every indication points to a
prosperous fall season, and the prosperity
will last all winter."
Karl Boebling, carpenter, and member of
Local Union No. 211 Our organization has
about 4,000 members in tbe city proper, and
every one of tbem is working. The non
union carpenters do not amount to anything
in this town, and tbe members ofour organi
zation are all good and steady workmen. I
have found that unionism promotes sobriety
and stability among men, and, viewed from
this standpoint, I think it is a good thing.
We work nine honrs, and get from $2 75 to
g3 50 a day. Next year we may do some
thing about the eight-hour day, and I think
we will cut the extra hour off on May 1.
Every union man in the citv has a job at
good wages, and I do not think any carpen
ter has cause to complain of the times. They
are as good now as ever they were, and I
would be satisfied if this season of prosperity
and activity continued. .
hot doing Airr good.
William C. Wilson, member of Local
Union No. 12, tinners The refusal of tha
Knights of Labor to participate in the pa
rade is not calculated to do the union cans')
a great amount of good. These little jeal
ousies only hurt labor, and by their refusal
to turn out the Knights only hurt them
selves. We have 210 men in good standing
in our union, and everyone is employed.
There is no scarcity of work, and a good
man can get employment at any time. This
is our busy season, and nine hours are a
day's work. Of course we expect to see the
eight-hour day go into effect some time, but
it is away off yet.
Thomas Downey, baker. Union No. 27:
Everybody bas to eat, and this makes onr
trade good. We work 11 hours, bnt ia
some of the shops the men put in more time
than this. It was only a short time ago
that we had to put in 16 and 18 honrs for
day's work, and baking bread was worse
than driving a street car. It took a strne
gle to get tbe bonrs reduced, but we are
glad now tbat we went through it. No, tha
baking trade is not what it used to be.
The yonng men do not take to it as the old
fellows now in tbe business did, and some
times it is difficult to get men. '
Bicbard Harris, an intelligent colored'
man, member of Hod Carriers' Union No.
1, said: "We put in nine hours aday carry
ing bricks to tbe tops of high buildings, and
onahotdayitisno-snap. We get 52 50 a day,
which is not enough, and we would like, to
receive more lor our labor. A great many
contractors have tried to displace it by using
a steam elevator,, but the 'lift is 'not In it
when compared to colored men, except on
tall buildings On a three-story structure
we can put up more bricks to the top cheap
er than a steam machine. Yes, we have
enough to do,and think the good season will
continue until cold weather puts a stop to
building operations." r-

Said Adam Jones, of Painters and Deco

418 members in good standing. Ot this
number 326 were out in the parade, and a

on March 1 expect to have this reduced to"
