Chairman Mapes has taken charge of the Independent Republican campaign. He wants a majority for Pattison so big that no one will ever claim it as an exclusive Dem ocratic rictory. He thinks the defeat of Delamater and Quay will be to the perma nent advantage of the Republican party. ' r SPECIAL TELT.GBAJI TO THE DISPATCH. Philadelphia, September 2. The In dependent Republican Committee is at last ready for active work. George E. Mapes, who has been named as the Chairman, served three successive terms in the State Legislature as a representative of "Venango county, and was still a member when he re moved to Philadelphia in 1682. Although he has always been a Re publcan he did not, when in the legislature, hesitate to do what seemed to be his duty, regardless of the dictation of party managers. He was one of tbe managers for the state of the prosecution of Kemble, Rumbaugh, Salter, Petroff and others in 1879, for bribery and corrupt solicitation, which resulted in the conviction of Petroffand the entering of a plea of guilty by the others. The Slot Open nnd DIrccC Rood. "When asked to-day if he was to be Chair man of the Independent Republican State Committee, Mr. lapes said: "At the re quest of a nuibrof prominent Republic ans in the State I have agreed to organize the State Committee. I presume I shall continue at the head of it through the cam paign, unless somebody who is better qual ified will accept the place. In that case I will gladly step down into the ranks, as I have no personal ambitions to serve." "Will there be an Independent Republic an ticket in the field?" "It is not the present intention to have any. The purpose of this movement is to defeat and rebuke the private-wire bossism which forced Delamater's nomination. It has been deemed best by most of the Re publicans connected with this movement to go by the most open and direct road to this result." "Which means ?" Wunt nn Ovei vrlichninc Majority. "That we shall try to persuade Repub licans who are tired or Quay's dictation, and vho do not believe that Mr. Delamater rep resents either the interests or the will of the party, to vote for Mr. Pattison. We desire to accomplish that result by a majority so large that nobody will ever dream of call ing it a Democratic victory. Pattison has open tried once in tbe Governor's chair. He gave a clean and honorable administia tion. No good citizen, whether Republic an or Democrat, can look back to the four years of that administration and find a dirty spot to put a finger on, nor point out a sin gle opportunity which he did not try to use for the advantage of the Commonwealth. Nobody claims he was infallible, or he is incapable of making a mistake, but his con duct satisfied everybody that he strove earnestly always to do what was right, and even the most pronounced Republicans conceded that in the main he did wisely." "But conceding, Mr. Mapes, that" you can elect Pattison, and that he will mate a good Governor, what is the gain for the Re publican party?" Tlic Time for Action. "Isn't it better to defeat and rebuke bad leadership in 1890 than to permit bad leader ship to defeat the partjftin 1892, when the stake is a Presidency? We are Republicans profoundly believing that the prosperity of country depends on the continuation of its great policy of protection to American in dustries. "We won the election of 1888 by a dangerously narrow margin. Who be lieves that we could carry the country this tall? When success brings disregtsrd of party principles and pledges, and leiMers inbolent with power, set up a monarchy within the party, defeat is sure to follow. Is it better to take bitter medicine, or to die of disease? Shall we teach our leaders and the country that those who hold high places in the Republican party must be worthy of them, or shall we wait until the stench of their disrepute so fills the nostrils of the people that the party is altogether over thrown in shame and disaster? The strength of the Republican party as of any party long in power, must lie in its willingness to punish its own rascals and purify its own leadership. If the time ever comes when money is our main dependence lor success, and silence our only defense against charges which, if true, cover us with unworthiness and dishonor, what hope have we, and what would an honest man think of the country that would give us any hope of successful existence?" How Lincoln Would Voir. "Then roar purpose is to rebuke Quayism by defeating Quay's candidate?" "How do you suDpose Abraham Lincoln would Tote, if he were living, and a citizen of Pennsylvania this fall? What would any one of the fathers of the Republican party feel to be his duty? "We are Repub licans. "We expect to vote for Republican candidates for Congress and the Legis lature generally throughout the State. They represent our principles of National policy. Governor Pattison's views on the tariff question have no more to do with leg islation on the tariff question than the views of the man in the moon. His influence upon the next tariff bill will be exactly the same, whether he is elected or defeated, and so will Senator Delamater's," "That is doubtless true, but will not the moral effect of the election of Pattison be to disorganize the Republican party and lead to its defeat in '92?" , " Purification Not DIsorKanlzalloo. "Oh no. That ghost doesn't walk this year, Pattison was elected ia 1883, and the party was so "disorganized" that it carried the State by 80,000 in 84. Purification is not disorganization, 'it is reorganization upon such lines that a Republican may take his manhood with him to its convention, inde pendent of arrogant bosses and their mer cenary henchmen, and vote for the candi dates afterward with pride in their worth and uprightness. It means a party whose high places do not hang on the private wire of any boss. If Q nay and his candidate are defeated now the will of the party will have to be respected in future. If they are not de feated the party will have no will hereafter but Quay's will, and men who own and re spect themselves no sUsding room in the party at all." AMONG THE GRANGERS. Delnmatcr Spends the Day Pleasantly at the Washincton County Fnlr. (SPECIAL TEL ECU AM TO THE DISPATCH.1 "Washington, PA., September 2. Sen ator Delamater, accompanied by Hon. J. B. Finley, Bon. G. B. Lawrence. Hon. J. K. Billingsley, Hon. S. P. "White, of Beaver; Hon. J. B. Donaldson, of Canons burg; A. J. Edwards, Assistant Postmaster of Pittsburg, andD. F. Collingwood, arrived at the fair grounds of the Agricultural Asso ciation at 11:15 o'clock this morning. Though the day was very fine, the crowd was not as large as was expected. This due, no doubt, to the fact that not all of the exhibits had been put in place, and the crowd preferred to at tend during the latter part of the week. Everything was in a bustle when the dis tinguished party arrived, and there was no attempt to make any good showing ot the exhibits to the visitors. Mr. Delamater, with his party, was re ceived with enthusiasm, when they drove through the grounds, one cheer after another following them. To this the man who is soon to ask for the people's vote for Governor, smiled good-humoredly, and raised his hat repeatedly. Arriving" at Exhibition Hall, the party was taken in charge by a number of Washington ladies and served with a liberal banquet. After a visit to the grand stand and a view of the races, a reception was given at the Hotel Main, There Mr. Delamater had the opportunity of shaking hands with many ot the good Republicans of "Washington county.

Twenty 'cities and towns, including Burling on give Page (Rep.), for Governor, 3,571; Brigham (Dem.), 2,041; Allen (Pro.), 113. In 1888 these towns gave Dillingham (Rep.) 5.6S6; Shurtleff (Dem.), 2, 489; all others, 116. The returns thus far received indicate not only that the Republican vote is very light, but that tbe ticket has been cut The decrease in the Democratic vote is not nearly as large correspondingly this year as that of the Re publicans. The Prohibition vote remains about the same so far. Fifty towns out of 243 in the State give Page (Rep.). 8,198; Brigbam (Dem.). 4,582; Allen (Pro.), 440; scattering 3. The same towns in 1883 gave Dil longham (Rep.), 12.554; Shurtleff (Dem.), 4,477; all others 372. The Republican majority over all in towns so far as heard Irom g'ive 3,373, against 7.750 in 1888. If the vote in the remaining towns corresponds with those heard from, the Republican majority will be the smallest since the institution ot the bi-ennial elec tions. STONE OUT FOR WATSON'S PLACE.

The Judi cial conferees of the Thirty-seventh district meet at Tioncsta to-day, took ten ballots and adjourned sine die. The Republicans of the district are now without a regular nominee. Higgens, of "Warren and Irwin ofTionesta, will remain on the Republican tickt, thus making a three cornered fight in tbe district, which will assure the elec tion of Noyes, the Democratic candidate, president Judge. Hon. C. W. Stone officially announced himself as a candidate for Congress to-day in place of the late Congressman "Watson. It is claimed that Stone will carry McKean and Warren counties which will'insure his nomination. Should this prove true Allen's chances for tbe Senatorial nomination will be small as Venango would justly claim that office. All in all political matters from a Republican standpoint are quite complicated. A LENGTHY CONVENTION. The Berks Connty Democrats Remain la Session Eleven Hours. rCFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Reading, September 2. The Democratic County Convention met here to-day, and was in session 11 hours before its work was com pleted. A full county ticket was nominated. For tbe Legislature Cyrenius W.

While the convention was at its work and tbe delegates and candidates were anxiously looking for the end of the struggle tor office, an announcement was made in thesbgySj-r?' a circular to the delegates that will again plunge the party woikcrs into another contest lor the nomina tion for Congress. The letter came from County Chairman Herbst, and in it he announces himself a candidate against Congressman Brumer. A FARMER FOR CONGRESS.

The Republican Congressional Convention of the Second West Virginia district met here to-day, with about 250 delegates in attend ance. The Committee on Resolutions re ported a platform declaring in lavor of tbe McKinley bill; commending Speaker Reed, and calling for an election law, but not mentioning tbe Lodge bill. George Harmon, of Grant county, and a farmer, was nominated for Congress on the first ballot, over A. G. Dayton, of Barbour, wbo was thought certain of the nomination. Harmon was backed by Elkins, Internal Revenue-Commissioner Mason and District Attorney Sturges, while Dayton was a Goff man. GETTING WARM IN MAINE. BOTH PARTIES WORKING TO WIN MON DAY'S FIGHT.

At last the campaign gets warm. "From this time until Monday both sides will put in their best work. Still there is an atmosphere of doubt as to what tbe Democrats can and may do. With Reed and McKinley, Lodge and .Greenhalge, Henderson, of Iowa, and Mason, of Illinois, as well as General Henry B. Cleveland and Hon. Herbert M. Heath speaking in this district there is no doubt the Republican side of the case will be well set forth. Mr. Lodge was in town to-day on his way to fill an appointment in Freeport to-night. He said that he was much pleased with his re ception here. He has had large audiences, and says the popular feeling seems very en couraging. Mr. Lodge has no fears whatever as to the result of the First district, and says the danger of any loss from the Saco irregulari ties is amply provided against by the old and well Known decision of tbe Supreme Court in this State and in Massachusetts. But the Republicans of this district are, as they always have been, a little panicky. Although it is the customary thing for them just before election to hear that the Demo crats are going to have several barrels of money to use, and although this has only once or twice happened, yet the rumor al ways scared them. They have also been somewhat disheartened this week by the Saco affair, and the fear of similar difficul ties elsewhere. A story gained considerable currency and credence among the Democrats to-day that" flaws had been discovered in tbe preparation of the voting lists at Kittery, by which that town, with its 250 Republican majority, could be disfranchised. A private dispatcn from one the best-known citizens of the town say3 the lists have been regu larly made and properly posted and all formalities complied with. Mr. Reed has a hard week's work before him, which his personal friends regret, as they think he needs rest more than a stump ing tour. After his Boston speech Wednes day night he takes the train lor this city. Thursday morning at Haverhill, Dover and Salmon Falls he will speak briefly. LEGISLATURE AND CONGRESS.

Dr. Snyder presided during the preliminary movements of the County Republican dom inating Convention, which met here to-day at 10 o'clock. As Chairman of the Republican County Committee he held the wand of power until the convention was in shape to take care of itself and then Dr. Prizer, of Richland, directed its course in an able manner.

Robinson to represent this district in Congress, therefore resolved that this convention hereby indorses the nomination of John ii. Robinson as a candidate for Congress from this district. The Northern district was the first taken up in the Legislative struggle, and Nehe tuiah C-V-andersiice was nominated on the first ballot by a vote of 104. Two bal lots were required to settle the Legis lative question in the Southern district. On the second J. C. West won. In the Eastern district the present member, D. Smith Talbot, had it all to himself, and received the unanimous vote of the convention. David H. Branson, the "farmers' friend," was early chosen from irom the Western district.

San Antonio, September 2. The city is rapidly filling with Republicans. All seems to be harmoniously enough on the surface, and the whites and the colored brethren seem to dwell together in peace and unity. There is, however, very plainly an nnder current ot bitter feeling between" the two factions. The Republicans will hold a caucus to night to arrange for the selection of a tem porary and permanent officer. It is proba ble that there will be but two candidates for nomination for Governor, Webb Hanagan and Judge Rector.

Foster, of Oil City, to be a candidate for Congress against Lee, and, if he will con sent to run his frienas are confident he can defeat Mr. Lee, as he is very popular and enjoys tbe confidence of the people to the fullest extent.

A meeting of British ship owners, representing an aggre gate capital of upward of 100,000,000 sterling, was held to-day. A series ot reso lutions, was put and carried unanimously by tbe gentlemen assembled. These resolu tions were in favor of the federation of the whole oi thashipping trade of the British Empire for the purpose of dealing with the labor question of all parts of the world, and, in particular, resisting tbe demands and actions of the trades unions and their members, for the protection of the officers, crews and servants of the ship owners against compulsion and intimidation of the trade organizations, the indemnification of members who may make personal sacrifices for tbe sake of the common good, and, gen erally, to supervise and promote legislation affecting the shipping interests. The scheme includes a powerful cen tral council, whose headquarters are fixed in London and the formation of strong district committees in tbe various shipping centers to deal promptly with the cases aris ing at the outports or abroad. Immediate steps will be taken for the purpose of per fecting the organization. At the close of the formal business a resolution was passed, partially approving the action of the Aus tralian ship owners in refusing to accede to the demands of the labor unions as being subversive of the discipline on ship board, and pledging the federation to use every means in its power to help them in the strug gle. Fresh important adhesions to the fed eration are expected very shortly which Will make it the most powerful anion the ship ping trade has ever established. A COUNTER-CHARGE.

The members of the Trades Union Congress had a very noisy meetine this afternoon, when an at tack was made on the Parliamentary Com mittee for not carrying out the resolution of the Dundee Congress on the miners' eight-hours bill. This caused a long scene, and virtually a vote of censure was moved. Mr. Henry Broadhurst, M. P., for Nottingham, who de fended the committee, was himself bitterly attacked, and a stormy personal debate ensued, which was ultimately stopped by the application of the cloture. The committee's action was approved, and the congress affirmed the principle of State paid labor and its representation in Parlia ment, and rejected by a large majority amendments favoring the nationalization of land, shipping, railways and all means of production.

In order to control the conflagration the shaft3 were closed, the authorities being apparently ignorant or careless of the fact that they were thus imprisoning 80 of their employes.

London Lord Sackville, as Lord of the Manor of Stratford-on-Avon, has presented to the Town Council a claim for encroach ment and rent in respect to the fountain and clock tower donated by Mr. George W. Childs, of Philadelphia. At a county meeting to-day several speakers denounced the conduct of Lord Sackville in tbe matter. They said the spot on which the fountain stands has not been used as a public market for 600 years. The Council holds that there has been no encroachment unless Lord Sackville can prove his man orial rights over the middle of the market square. Lord Sackville's agent writes that if the Council admits the claim, at the same time asking that it be not enforced, His Lordship may refrain from levying rent. The Council, however, 'has- decided to fight the claim. thet aeb after tyrants. London The long projected shipping union was farmed in London to-day.

The Mal tese cross, tbe badge of tbe Fifth Army Corps, so proudly worn by the veterans of the Pennsylvania Reserves, was everywhere present in Gettysburg nnd on the battle field to-day. The Reserves still confi dently hope for the realizition of their universal desire, a majestic structure jointly commemorative of all their commands. Fully 500 veterans of the various commands of (that organization were present at the ceemonies incident to the formal dedication of the memorials of the 13 reserve commands who had taken part in achieving the glo rious victory at Gettvsburg.among the num- ,ber being some of the most prominent officers. During the morning three of the monuments were dedicated. At the First Cavalry lot a bronze fig ure of "a dismounted cavalry man on one knee in the act of firing was erected. The Tenth Infantry monument, at the head of Big Round Top, is a heroic bronze statue of a soldier and charger, the figure resting on a bronze pedestal in all 15 leet high. At the Sixth Infantry lot a stately obelisk of alternate courses of blue and-red-rock-iaced granite was dedicated. At the National Cemetery, where at least 5,000 veterans and visitors had assembled, ex-Governor Andrew G. Curtin substan tially sooke as follows: I acknowledge the honor of presiding here to day. I saw this place long years ago, when 4,000 dead and wounded lay on this field. I bought tbe ground and made this beautiful cemetery, asking the other States who had men baried here to contribute. It never cost the United States Government one cent, and was transferred to it with the agree ment that they shonld keep it up forever, which you see they aro doing. Who can pass down there and look at those 4,000 graves of the heroes and not feel proud ot their record? Governor Beaver, in his ad dress presenting the monuments to the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association, emphatically expressed him self in favor of the erection of a reserve' memorial hall. He considered it in bad taste to heretofore give, his reasons for vetoing the reserve bill, but would do so some time in the future. He then turned the monuments over to the Memorial Association. Colonel Chill W. Hazzard, of the Twelfth Regiment, on Gen eral S. W. Crawford's staff in this battle, in a neat speech, accepted the trust in behalf of the association of which he is a member. At the conclusion of the exer cises Captain Taylor invited the Reserves to headquarters of the Lambs to partake of a bountiful supply of "Katalysine" water and other refreshments. RUSHINOrTBETMIFE.

The big light in the dome of the Capitol beneath the feet of tbe Goddess of Liberty blazed out brilliantly to-night. The Senate held its first alter sun-down session since the be ginning of tbe Fifty-first Congresss. The meeting was rendered necessary by the de sire of Senators to be heard on the question of reciprocity which came up to-day for the first time. The debate being opened by the brief but rather telling speech of Senator Hale. A night session of the Senate always at tracts a big crowd of spectators, and so it was this evening. The galleries were full long before 8 o'clock, tba hour set for con vening, and the visitors remained late, although the entertainment presented wa3 not strictly first-class. These curiosity seekers were indeed rather imposed upon, a trick of Senator Dolph, who also made a victim of Senator Vance. STOLE JUS TIME. The latter has for many years been fixing up a great speech intended to set himself right with his constituents and with South ern Democrats generally. The Farm ers' Alliance has been very active m North Carolina, and the good natured Mr. Vance felt called upon to tackle them with a speech. The night session was ordered especially for Mr. Vance's benefit, and hosts of his admirers, who always enjoyed his characteristic story telling and mirth provoking speeches, were on hand. When President Ingalls' gavel fell Mr. Vance was ready to go on with the pro gramme, his manuscript was piled high on the desk,. a glass of Senatorial water was at his side, and his lips were puckered to say "Mr. President," when the solemn and slender Dolph, of Oregon, areas and, being recognized, began a dry and apparently long-winded speech in opposition to reci procity with Canada. The surpriseland dis appointment of the audience, the Senators and everybody else was painful. a disgusted senatob. Mr. Vance was indeed indignant and dis gusted. He settled back in bis chair and waited. To-night only about half the Sena tors were present, but they seemed to enjoy themselves. Each of the cloak rooms held a huge bowl of lemonade and several baskets of apollinatis on ice. Down in certain corri mitteo rooms occupied by Senators who never, never indulge, Senatorial cold tea was on tap for the favored few invited to in spect it. The scene in the Chamber at 10 o'clock, when Mr. Vance was talking was interest ing if not inspiring. There were just 20 Senators in the chamber and a dozeu more .in the cloak rooms where they could easily be seen through the open door, and a score more were out of sight in the various com mittee rooms sampling the smuggled cold tea. No Interest whatever was shown in the debate, and everybody appeared much relieved when a motion was made to ad journ. Senators dislike night sessions and do not intend to get into the habit of hold ing them. Though there yet remain about 80 pages of the tariff bill which must be got through with during the week if the Senators have to sit all day Sunday, more than 20 pages of that number are included in the internal revenue provision of the House bill, which were struck out entirely by the Senate com mittee. ALL ABOUT EECIPKOCITY. There is really very little of importance yet, to consider in the bill as it stands, and nearly all the time that yet remains for dis cussion will be devoted to speech making on the reciprocity amendments of Aldrich, Sherman and Hale. There is little or no doubt that so ale scheme of reciprocity with the South American Republics will be tacked on to the bill, but it is quite appar ent that the Canadian reciprocity amend ment of Senator Sherman is doomed, with the exception, perhaps, of the portion relat ing to coal. This commends itself to the New En gland Senators because their regiou can get coal cheaper from Is ova Scotia than from Pennsylvania, and they tell the Western Senators that iu return for this reciprocity it will enable the fields of Indiana and Ohio to furnish fuel for Ontario nnd provinces west. This little bit of tariff log rollintr may enable the Ohio Senators to insert an entering wedge lor reciprocity with Canada. CULLOH HAS A CANDIDATE For the Place Made Vacant by the Resig nation of Colonel Clarkson. rrcou A STAPT COHIIESFOXDEXT.I Washington, September 2. It appears to-day that Cluel Clerk Fowler, of the office of the First Assistant Postmaster General, who was puffed yesterday as the coming successor of General Clarkson, is out of tbe race to-day, notwithstanding he is one of the best endorsed men who ever sought a high position. Filley, of Missouri, is also on the shelf, and none of the many .others already mentioned have the least cHance, with the exception of Michener, of Indiana, the President's friend and a powerful boss in that State. The Dispatch has it upon the best authority, and is the first to an nounce it, that Senator Culloni is quietly but firmly pushing Hon. A. C. Matthew, of Illinois, Firs,t Comptroller of the Treasury, for the place. His appointment would mean that the Senator would have his-grip on the postoffice machinery of the State, and could by its use dictate the elec tion o! his colleague to sneceed Farwell. The latter is not congenial to Cullom, and as Culloni will have at least two years to serve with Farwell's successor, he would like to have a hand in bis election, to say nothing of paving the way for his own elc tion early in 1893. It is more than likely, however, that in a high and immensely in fluential position like that of the Firs't As sistant Postmaster General the President will want to have one who is in his confi denceand of all probable candidates no ono else seems to fill the bill so thoroughly as Mr. Michener, from the President's own State, and for long years his co-worker in politics. MURDER OF CLAYTON Furnishes a Subject for Some Speccb-9!ak Ins In the House. Washington, September 2. The Ar kansas contest case was taken up by the House to-day. Mr. Cooper of Ohio opened the debate. He described the state" ol affairs leading up to the assassination of Mr. Clayton, and said thejiew of tbe mur der.which was flashed over the country, was answered by a a cry of indignant horror.- It was the opinion of the majority that the murder grew directly out of the political methods adopted in that country. Iu that view the majority but echoed the almost universal sentiment of all sections. Ballot box stealing and stuffing, intimidation nnd murder naturally followed each other. Wilson, oi Wisconsin, answered this speech, and then tbe case went over until to-morrow. AWAY FIXING FENCES. SPEAKER REED LEAVES A SUBSTITUTE IN THE CHAIR.

Be ore leaving the Capitol to-day Mr. Reed received the protest which has been drawn up by the disgruntled members who are indignant because the numerous bills for the erection of public buildings have been pigeon-holed by order of the Speaker. In their protest the dissatisfied members, in cluding both Democrats and Republicans, threaten big things unless the Speaker con sents to call a meeting ot the Committee on Rule3 and set aside a day for the passage of their bills. During Mr. Reed's absence Uncle Joe Cannon will be in charge of business on the floor, as Major McKinley is also away. As chairman of the common appropriations Uncle Joe appreciates the pressieg'necessity of rigid economy for the session, and be is not likelv to prepare any order satisfactory to the friends of the pro posed public buildings. A DIFFERENCE IN FIQUEES. Republicans Claim a Surplus, White tho Democrats Allcse a Df flclt. Washington, September 2. In con nection with the presentation of the confer ence report on the river and harbor appro priation bill in the House to-day, Chairman Cannon, of the Committee on Appropria tions, made an exhaustive statement touch ing the expenditures authorized in tbe present session of Congress. He said that the sum of 5402,134,861 is properly charge able against the probable revenues of the Government for the fiscal year 1891 and, when deducted from tbe latter, shows a sur plus of $65,279,475. Following Mr. Cannon, .Representative Sayres, of Texas, presented a statement for his Democtatiu colleagues on the committee. It says that if to tbe ordinary appropriations of Congress is added tbe permanent and in definite appropriations as estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury, to wit, $101,628, 453, we will have as an aggregate of ex penses for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, $461,844,889, as "against 5450,414,337, the revenues including postal receipts, as estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury, thus making the excess of appropriations over revenues 11,430,442.

He declares that without ex ception the w hite Republicans are opposed to the bill, and bis conrse has, therefore, immensely increased his popularity. "Bnt how about the black Republicans?" said another representative who had lis tened to Mr. Ewart's words. "Oh, they don't count. Most of them don't know there is such a thing as an elec tions bill." "You mean, then, that you must please the white Republicans at all hazards and the black ones will vote for you because they don't know any better ?" "Well, that's about it," was Mr. Ewart's response. A PROTEST FROM THE WIDOW. The Caso or General ISnrrundla. Called to tbe President's Attention. Washington, September 2. The Presi dent haii received a cable message from the widow and children of the late General Bar rundia, protesting agaiost his assassination by the Gautemalan authorities while a passenger on au American steamship, and calling upon him to exact reparation tor the outrage of which they are the inconsolable victims. The telegram was referred to tbe State Department for "investigation and re port." Acting Secretary Wharton said this af ternoon that no direct information whatever in regard to the reported attack upon Minister Mizner by a daughter of General Barrundia had been received, and he is in clined to think the affair very much exagge rated.

Senator Qnay gave notice to-day of a motion to de vote Saturday, the 13th inst, to rriemories of Hon. Samuel J. Ran dall. This is sufficient warning to enable the Senators to arrangs speeches which it is hoped will hold Sen ators iu the places so that the disgraceful scene in the House during the eulogies of Mr. Randall may not be repeated. It will be remembered that on that occa sion only a very lew Representatives re niained.on the floor or paid any respectful attention to tbe speeches, and ot these few the great majority were Republicans.

The Western glass manufacturers met inf convention in Chicago yesterday. They areV trying to form a combination to keep up the - present prices. Many of them are averse to the idea of a trust, however, and some other plan may be adopted. .fPZCIAL TELIGHAM TO THS DISPATCB.l Chicago, September 2. The window glass manufacturers west of theAUeghen ies have been in session to-day at. the Audi torium buildings for the purpose of forming a trust or combination to keep up prices. They did not come to any definite result to day and at 6 o'clock an adjournment was taken until to-morrow morning. But dur ing the day enough was developed in the conrseof the prolonged discussion to indi- ' ilution that the existing price list, O J nrltv KritiKfnnlnrv tA tbft mann. , should be continued, but there w. itely nothing to make the indi viy .ms live up to it. A lesson op experience. Judging from past experience tbe weaker firms, which are anxious to gain a foothold, would start to cutting rates as soon as the market slackened and would contract their product to brokers on terms which would make it very difficult and perhaps impossi ble to maintain prices op a paying basis. At the last meeting various schemes were suggested to remedy this defect, but noth ing was done, the matter being passed over until to-day, and in tbe meantime the dele gates have consulted with their various! firms. One of the first propositions advanced was the formation of a gigantic corporation like the United Glass Company, which shall absorb all Western factories not now included in the United Glass Company, and give them stock in return for their plants. This met with little favor. TOO EADICAL A STEP. It was conceded that it was the one sura means of putting an end to ruinous competi tion as far as the present firms art: con cerned, but the manufacturers were unwill ing to make the surrender of their individu ality, which this proposition required. The officials of the United Glass Company were there to urge its adoption, but they labored with little enect on the conservative men -from Pittsburg, wbo feared that it might . get them into an everlasting tangle. Then it was proposed that the remaining manufacturers shonld come into the United Company, taking stock in payment for their . plants, but this was open to the .'.-.me objeo- ,5 tions A third plan seemed to meet wit: j greater favor. That h si to organize a cen- tral committee, to be chosen by ther associa tion, and to place in its hands a fund with . which it could buy up tbe stock of any man- r ufacturer who might determine at any time j to sell below the established market rate. ; A PECULIAB PLAN. The scheme proposed is that each member ot the convention should agree to give this committee the first chanceto buy his product in case he found it necessary to sell below rates in order to meet his weekly bills. The committee would buy and pay for it, and hold the glass to be disposed of as quickly as opportunity offered at market rates. Thus it was believed the dangerous competition of the new factories in the natural gas belt which have been started with insufficient capitol could be got rid of. But thi3 plan, too, had many serious1 diffi culties, which could not be met at once. Hence the adjournment until to-morrow. The matter of tariff reduction will doubtless be discussed before the convention ad- jpurns, and some action may be taken to prevent any alterations in the existing du ties. THE CONCEENS ON HAND.

His Bad Break in the Bouse May Lose Hist tbe Election. rsfZCIAL TXXEGBAH TO THI DISPATCH., Tuscola, III., September 2. The efc fects of the speech made in Congress on Wednesday last by Congressman Cannon and tbe disgraceful scene following, have just begun to be felt through- out his home district.

General Busey, the opposition nominee, will ,i,j get tne soldier vote, as he has a nne war record, and being a farmer, be will also command the votes of that class.
