Undiminished Interest in the Great Pittsburg Show, AS WELL AS IN THE BALLOTING. Eeasons GiTen Why the Wharf Shonld be Transformed Into a Park. COATS WITH SOME OP HUE TJSITORS Everyone beamed at the Exposition last evening when the dragon on the Japanese tea pagoda assumed a bright appearance when the electric lights were turned on. And everyone was there prominent poli ticians, manufacturers, merchants and busi ness men in general, in most instances ac companied by their wives and little ones, in some instances by their sweethearts, and sometimes only by a boon companion, as was the case with Mr. "W. P. Diiworth, who, nevertheless, was qnite contented with life, and expressed himself rather em phatically regarding the affair. Said he: "This is one of the finest Expositions I have ever seen. It is equal in style and unique ness to the Centennial at Philadelphia, and exceeds in many. points one I saw at Berlin and one in the city of Brussels. The glass exhibit, in my estimation, is one of the most novel features, and one that at tracts considerable attention." And sure enough, it was attracting con siderable attention just at that moment, for the skillful glass blowers were busy in man ufacturing all sorts of glassware for the benefit of the throng of spectators that sur rounded the furnaces. Superintending the work was a rather patnarchial, dignified old gentleman, who proved to be none other than Mr. Michael "Ward, the oldest flint glass worker in business in the city. TOE OLDEST OF TIIESI ALL. "Call me old Mike "Ward," said he, in an exceedingly pleasant manner, "lor I have a young Mike, you know. Yes, I am the oldest flint glassworker in the business in Pittsburg, I think. There are several gentlemen older than I in the city, who went into the business before I did, but they are superannuated now. Yes, I made chim neys 35 years ago, and have seen lots of changes in the glass business, and I a in still in active service, though I was 70 years old last Tuesday. To-day I made two beer mugs and one Jacob's ladder. I commenced business in the lall of 1S36, with the firm of O'Leary & Mullvaney, and in time became a proprietor myself, but my partner sold enough wheat to break the firm and land himself in the penitentiary. Con sequently, at my age, I am still in the field. I am what they call an all-around flint glassworker, and I am not afraid of having that statement contradicted, either. I am assistant manager with this firm, but when it is necessary I can put myself in any position made vacant, and I may have to prove that to-morrow." "Prove it? How?" "Well, I'd tell you if you could keep a secret, but reporters never can keep any thing unless it's their own love secret. No," concluded the interesting speaker, with a warning shake of the finger, "if you misquote me, or give me too much prom inence, I'll never dance at your wedding. By the way, I never had but one girl in my life, anci every morning I pass the house where I courted her for three years before she'd have me. I wasn't as good looking in those d ivs as I am now," said Mr. "Ward, as he laughed a joyous adieu. In front of one of the furnaces, pressing the fiery molten mass into match box covers, was a youngWh-looking, pleasant-appearing man, who was not adverse to talk, though not particularly communicative. "The people are very much interested in the process of glass blowing," he said, "and we are simply playing at work. The bosses don't want us to work rapidly, but to give the spectators a good idea of how such work is done." "Do you like to work here?" MAT HAVE TO QUIT TTORK. "Yes, but I may not be here to-morrow night, or after that." "Why?" "Well, I belong to the union, and the rules forbid work after 12 o'clock Saturday noon, so that unless the Arbritation Com mittee effects a compromise, we will not be here to-morrow. I think that an exception will be made in this case, but can't say for Fure. We won't know until to-morrow morn ing what the decision is." "What will the managers do, in case the union commands yon to stop?"- "Get non-union men I suppose." 'Will it result in trouble?" "I can't say, but I think it will be com promised and we will go right on making glassware for the benefit of the Exposition visitors." Mr. Timothy O'Leary's cheerful face broke into a pleasant smile, as he was asked what opinion he had to express' to The Dispatch on the Exposition. "It's truly magnificent. I am very much delighted with the whole affair, and have eaten free pickles, drank free tea, munched free crackers, and imbibed free beef tea un til, with the odor of popcorn, I am almost intoxicated. The exhibits are wonderful, I think, and a vast improvement over those of last year." Hon. William Ford, when buttonholed, remarked: "This is a wonderfully fine ex hibition of the industries and resources of Pittsburg, and is a splendid thing for the city. Strangers passing through embrace the opportunity to visit the Exposition and obtain a better idea of our citv in a half a day than th-y would in a week of ordinarv sightseeing and investigation. It is some thing to encourage, aud I am glad to see so many people here." Une exhibit not premeditated or intended for the public was witnessed in the gallery curing the evening, when a young couple availed themselves of the opportunity to get a breath o Iresh air by stepping out on the balcony that lronts Peiin avenue. They were enjoying a little promenade, and re marking upon the lact that such a treasure o' a balcony had remained undiscovered too long, and should be fully appreciated and exalted to its proper state ol importance by them in the luture, when a man with a ten j oat who is in barce of a carpet stand near t.y, stepped to the door to close it and prevent a case of inflammation, but in stead he invoked one instantly by his un timely appearance, which resulted in any number of maledictions being heaped upon his defenseless head. Promenading couples are safe from his intrusion henceforth, so he THINKS IT IMMENSE. "Well, Pioi. Andrews, what think of the exhibit?" do yon "Immense. I hare just been oyer in ma- i&i&&& chinery hall, and I am delighted with the evidences of progression to be seen in that department, and the business men in there tell me that it is wonderful what an interest farmers and out-of-town people take in the machinery exhibit It's a good place to be, and n good place for school children. I suppose thev will be out in full force, to morrow. I think the entire exhibit a vast improvement over that of last year. There is more solidity about it not as much pop corn and bmonade." Manager Johnston, when seen late in the evening, said: "lam very well satisfied with the day and the attendance. Everything is coming along nicely. The exhibits are all about finished, the electrical light display is burning up nicely and wejnll have the illuminated fountain in working order by Monday evening, I think. It will be a very unique feature. The central spray will be about 40 leet high, and the others about L'U. It will be illumined with 10,000 candle power, that will Tesult in the ex quisite shading and tints making the fount ain dazzling to look upon. We tried it this afternoon, and there is but a small amount of work to be done before we can invite the public to look upon it. It will be a fac-simile of the Parisian fountain. To-day will be dress parade day, and we expect an immense crowd. Every one comes Saturday afternoon and evening to see every one else, and there will be an elaborate and very line musical programme rendered." The concert programme for this afternoon is as follows: PART I. Commencing at 2 o'clock. 1. Overture "The Boheman Girl" Balfe 2. Concert Waltz "Artist Life'". Strauss 3.

Chief Blcelow's Views aa to Brnatlfylns; the Wharf Are Indorsed An Overwhelming Alnjarlty In Favor ot Turning; It Into a Pork. It is not often that a newspaper attempts to interview over 500 people on one question of public interest, but that is just what The Dispatch did at the Exposition, yester day. The question is one that is of interest to many, and is sure to come up for de cision, sooner or later. It is: "Should the the Allegheny wharf be transformed into a park and promenade?" All newspaper readers know of Chief Bigelow's plans about the Allegheny wharf, between the Sixth street bridge and the Ex position. The question now is, do the people take the same view ot the matter as Chief Bigelow? The Dispatch yesterday tested the pulse of the people by putting the question squarely at them, without any partisanship The answer can be relied oil as the sentiments of the majority of those visiting the Exposition, and by the same course of reasoning, of the citizens of Pitts burg, Allegheny and all out-of-town people who cat their vote from an unbiased view of what was best for the citv. Out of the.550 people who voted on the question at The Dispatch headquarters, only 9 voted against the park. These 550 people included workiugmen, merchants, manufacturers, politicians, prominent vis itors and all. No children were allowed to vote, and an earnest endeavor was made to secure, in all instances, the unbiased opin ion of those voting. Nor was it neces sary to ask people to vote the question is a pertinent one, and as soon as it was an nounced, people took up their pea to regis ter their names iu the poll book. some or the reasons. Some voters added comments under their names, giving their reasons for voting. D. B. P- Haas, of Waynesburg, was one of the latter. He voted "yes," and opposite bis name wrote: "I believe 'that by so doing, it would not only be conducive to' the beauty and pleasure of the city and its people, but to the sanitary condition, as well." W. Day Wilson, of Clarion, said: "I am a frequent visitor to Pittsburg, and have often wondered why this very place was not so transformed into a park." W. J. Byrne voted yes, and wrote under his name: "A fine place for band concerts." The suggestion is a new one, and will doubt less be pondered over with interest. L. F. B. Barker, of Youngstown, wrote: "My opinion is that the more places of in nocent amusement provided in a city the better it is for the morals of the place. The park, as indicated in the question, I think, would supply such a place." Now lor the opposite view of the question. One man who voted "no ' gave as bis reason that the park would be a loafing place for rough characters. No other reason was given for a 'no" vote those so voting walk ing away without making any comment. SOME 'WHO VOTED.

Queer FolKs, "What kind of people are they who erect a costly pagoda like that, and yet do not let their names appear on any part of the ex hibit?" was the query a gentleman ad dressed to his friend yesterday, while they stood critically examining the unique Tea pavilion in the Exposition. "Cranks," was the concise reply. "Perhaps, but the visitors don't seem to let that iact interfere with their enjoyment of the free tea," said the first speaker. And judging from the approving countenances of the tea drinkers such really was the case. niW AT the Noting and Prize Essay UUU1 r i announcrmrnl on the tourth page ofthU issue of 1HE V1SPA1VS.

At Cresson Springs the season is at its height in August The first and second weeks in September find the guests of the Jiotel gone and the cottagers going. But the plans of the President and his family have changed things this year, and it Is evident that the fashionable people here will make the movements of the head of the cnuntrv the motive power of their actions. Usually. this is the time to go home, and yet there are some still coming. It is always strange to real lovers of mountain scenery. Not here, that look on the conn try as a sort of a hospital, that Cresson should be deserted in September and Octo ber the two most delightful months of the year to spend in the wood. Mrs. Harrison evidently knows this, for Mrs. McKee says her mother will more than likely remain all of this month and part of next. A sewing machine came in the Harrison luggage and the White House chef de cuisine is to follow in a short time. It is not possible thai the hotel will keep open longer than this month, and probably it will close about the 20th, but, with a cook ana the extremely commodious kitchen in the Park Cottage! there is no fear of the President's family going hungry. Mrs. Harrison's departure was a sort of wet blanket. The ladies that led society had put their heads together to arrange a brilliant social programme for the latter part of the week. But the plans were dis arranged quite unceremoniously by Mrs. Harrison's sudden, unexpected trip to Washington. The little circle of cottagers grows smaller every day. SOME VACANT COTTAGES, Starting in the first row there is the Stew art cottage. It was closed for the season last Monday when young Donglas Stewart lelt for ConneautLake to join his family. Next is the Schoonmaker, or the Chambers cot tage, as it has been known all summer. The Chambers family are still at Cresson, and no rumor of their approaching depar ture has been heard. Mrs. Chambers and her children have been here all summer, and ilr. Chambers joins them every Friday or Saturday evening, remain ing over Sunday. The" Park Painter cottage will likely be vacant next week for there is some talk to the effect that Mrs. Painter leaves Monday or Tuesday. As Mrs. Mark W. Watson did not get to Cresson very early, her family will rrobably be one of the last to leave. Mrs. Watson's cottage'is next to Mrs. Park Painter's. Above and across the Watson lot is the Chalfant cottage, but the family spent the summer, some ot them in the east, and some in Europeand did not come to Cresson. Louis W. Dalzell's family occupied their house, and they,the Dalzells go Monday. The Darlington cottage is next to Dalzell's. Mrs. Darlington says nothing of her im mediate departure, but willy-nilly, Presid ent or no President, she goes back to Al legheny September 20, to put her small daughter to school. Miss Darlington is home from Naragansett, where, despite the fact that Newport is weeping over her lost pier, she had a brilliant time. Evidently Miss Darlington will stay at Cresson until the winter season begins. Skipping the Park Cottage and its distin guished guests, the next is Mrs. Byron H. Painter. Mrs. Painter has formed no plans that have been given out regarding her do ings or goings. The Edward's cottage, which is next Mrs. Painter's, and the Thaw cottage have been unoccupied ail summer. They look bleak with their windows closed and vine-hidden porches, and make the entrance to the second row of" cottages have a deserted and chilly appear ance. Cottage E, which belongs to the hotel, is the first cottage of the third row. No one has lived in it all summer. Next this cottage is the handsome structure erected within a few years by B. F. Jones. It is the largest and for that reason was se lected as the proper one in which to give Mrs. Harrison a reception when she came back tofCresson, In the cottage now are: Mr. and Mrs B. F. Jones, their married daughter, Mrs. Alex. Laughliu, and her family, Mrs. J. O. Home, .Mrs. William Walter Willock and B. F. Jones, Jr. The next cottage is Mrs. A. G. W. Painter's. In her cottage the first tea was given to the President's wife and other ladies of his household by the society women of Pittsburg at Cresson. If Mrs. Painter is leaving Cresson nothing has been heard about it so far. The last of the row is THE CABNEGIE COTTAGE. The Carnegies, Mrs. Thomas Carnegie's family, expect to go to Pittsburg about the middle of this month. There is another cot tage almost forgotten, it is so much hidden in the trees the Jewett cottage. Mrs.David E. Park had it all summer, but it is now vacant. In the hotel are a half dozen or so families who move in the cottage circle. Among them are Mrs. John H. Kicketson, Mrs. George Shiras, Miss Dutilb, Mrs. McClintock, Mrs. Grugan, Mrs. Perin, of Baltimore, Mrs. Tiflany and Mrs. James B. Oliver. These make the most considerable people at Cresson, and sifting things, putting rumor on one side and fact on another, there will still be a nice little circle for Mrs. Harrison to drink tea with for a fortnight or so to come. The cottagers on the west side of the Mountain House, in cottages A, B, C, D and S, are, by their situation, almost ex cluded from the other cottages. These villas all belong with one exceotion to the Mount ain House. The nearest cottage on the up per row is the property of the late Mrs. Judge Jones. It is a handso'me cottage, sur rounded by grounds as level as a" chess board placed for a game, and very admir ably arranged within. PUT OFF TILL CHRISTMAS.

The State Board of Arbitration continued their investigation of the Central strike to-day,;and heard both sides of( the controversy. Commissioner Purcell presided. Mr. Powderly did not arrive. Messrs. Wright and Boger A. Pryor appeared for the Knights and Ham ilton Harrison for the road. Commissioner Purcell asked for the pro duction of the agreement between the road aud the men as published and it was put in evidence. Both sides declared themselves through, aad the hearing was declared closed. Mr. Purcell, in closing, said that the pub lic, be thought, and the newspapers, were under the impression that the board could give a decision in favor of one side or the other. The impression was false. He wished it understood that the law allowed the board to give an opinion or decision only when both parties consented to arbi trate. In this case the board would con sider the testimony and would make certain recommendations lor.the amicable settlement of the difficulty. The board cannot make this announce ment, however.but through the Legislature, and so January 1 will probably be the date when their views will become public The only advantage thus far gained is in the bringing out of the case in its true light be fore the public. tOnlcers of the Stationary Engineers. rSPXCIAI.

The story is that two ladies resident in Paris, one a Parisian by birth and the other an American, and whose names he claims are very well known and very care fully suppressed, went to-day to the woods of Mendon with the intention of fighting a duel. The quarrel that gave rise to this hostile meeting began on the Boulevard Des Italiens the evening before, and its subject was a certain well-known man about town and frequenter of the fashionable clubs. The two women met in front of the Cafe Americain, and after a few moments' ex change of words, they assailed each other, mutually tore their bonnets, bustles and back hair in vigorous fashion. Swords were the weapons selected for the contest, and the two combatants were pre paring for the fight, when three gens d'armes appeared on the ground and ordered all the parties present to accompany them to the police station. There the Superintendent gave the two women a severe lecture, ad vised their reconciliation, retained their weapons and dismissed them. The account concludes with the information that both parties are "real ladies." A JTJST DECISION. 4n Armr Scnndal Which Is Now Attracting Considerable Attention. BT DUHLAP'S CABLE COMPANY. CORK, Septembers. The sever measnres that have just been adopted by the War Office in a case that has for some time at tracted general attention, have now created a genuine sensation. The officers concerned in this action ot the War Office are attached to a Welsh regiment stationed here. Among the members ot the regiment in question is a Lieutenant Jervois, who has always enjoyed a wide popularity among the pri vates, but has been ignored, scorned, boy cotted and persecuted by his fellow officers, and subjected by them to petty annoyances of all kinds. This persecution culminated about two months ago, whu the lieuten ant's room was broken into at night, he was dragged from his bed, taken outside to a se cluded spot and tarred and feathered. A few days later Jervois refused to salute his superior officer when on parade, as he, knew that officer was one of those guilty of the in dignity heaped upon him previously, and he had no other means of showing his re sentment. Following this, he absented himself from his regiment, and proceeded to England, ther- to visit relatives. When he had been absent four days he was arrested as a de-serter,ibrought-baek here and subjected to eight weeks' confinement in his qnarters. His relatives lodged a complaint with the Government for this, and an inquiry was ordered at once. It was made, and the de cision, announced Wednesday last, was to the effect that two officers are deprived of their commissions and lonr ot hers placed at the bottom of the promotion list, with the option of resignation. It is this decision that is causing the sensation here, and is universally accepted as just. THE WATERS RISING. A Demand for Bread nnd Not for the Em- prror'w Presence BT DCKLAP'S CABLE COMPAXT. Pbagte, September 5. The inundation is increasing here, the river rising higher every hour, and carrying houses, wagons, cars and cattle away on its resistless flood, mingled with many bodies of the drowned inhabitants of the surrounding country, of whom a greater number have lost their lives than can be ascertained as yet At the old Ghetto the water reaches to the roofs of the honses, but the Hebrews refuse to quit their property, and have to be carried off by force. Bread has risen to double its usual price, and all work is at a standstill. When the Emperor announced that he wonld visit the city in person; the frenzied people cried out: "We don't wan t the Emperor: we want bread." The Rosenborg dams are now broken down, which still further increases the peril in this place and also in Southern Bohemia, which is threatened with destruc tion. . THE POPE ON HYPNOTISM. Several Prominent Blihopi Anxlons for Him to Exprcu Hln Opinion. rBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPAirr.J Bome, Septembers. Several prominent bishops some time ago requested the Pope to express his opinion on the merits and de merits of hypnotism. The Pope, in a clear and interesting communication, referred examination of the subject to the office of the Holy Inquisition, requiring it to express its opinion on the eflecta of hypnotism on the Catholic con science. Ho full decision has yet been ren dered, but from what tbe Holy Tribunal has" already decided, without going into the scientific spiritualistic principles invoked, the tribunal will give as its opinion that the Church should condemn hypnotism as practiced upon human beings, upon tbe ground that it disturbs human liberty and is dangerons in its effects upon the mental and physical condition of the hypnotised subjects."

Some Exciting Scenes In the British Trades Union Congress. rBTkuitLAP'S CABLE COHFAXT. Liverpool, Septembers. The principal business or the Trades Union Congress to day was the election of a Parliamentary Secretary to take the place of Mr. Henry Broadhurst, who has been compelled to re sign, after a long term of valuable service, on account of the weak state of his health. The matter was made the occasion of a bitter fight between the members ot the old Union ist party, which supported Mr. Shipton, and the new Unionists, under John Burns, who are clamoring for the establishment of eight hours as a recognized working day, and who proposed Mr. Charles Fenwick, the member of Parliament for Wansbeck, and one of the labor members of the House. Several exciting scenes ocenrred and there was a great deal of noise, which reached its height when a delegate challenged Burns to withdraw at once from the room and fight him outside, a challenge he conld not put into effect even if Mr. Burns would have met him, as his friends forcibly prevented his leaving the room. Eventually a vote was taken, and Mr. Fenwick was elected Secretary by a majority of 16. BOUGHT NEW TIPPERABY. Smith Bnrrr Dai Stolen a March Upon DIN f Ion nnd O'Brien. BT DCNLAP'S CABLE COMPAKT.l London, September 6. John Dillon and William O'Brien will leave for America shortly. It is understood they go abroad in behalf of the campaign fund, only it is said that their mission will be much circum scribed in consequence of internal disputes in the party, and the tear both gentlemen entertain as to their reception through the United States. Instead of representing Mr. Parnell in this trip, it is openly charged that they represent themselves solely, and will carry out their own programme simply. The Irish party in'general seems to be op posed to the campaign plan, and they look upon it as a fatal error. The Hew Tip perary scheme is bound to be a failure, as both Dillon and O'Brien have been terribly outwitted by Smith Barry, who has pur chased the land on which the village stands, and as his leases all fall due in four years hewiil then be in a position to oust the tenants and raze the entire town to its foundations. ; BALKED THE DUEL. Gendarme Prevent a Fight Between Roche- fort ani Thlebnud. By Associated 1'ressJ Ghent, Septembers. M. Eochefortand M. Thiebaud left here this morning with the intention of fighting a duel near Salsate, a town about 12 miles from this city. The au thorities got wind of the affair, however, and a party gendarmes appeared on the scene and threatened the two antagonists with ar rest if they persisted in carrying out their purpose. Under these circumstances the duelists were compelled to return to Ghent. The challenge to the duel was sent by M. Kochefort. His opponent had been in structed by General Boulanger to answer the charges recently broueht acainst Bon- L langer by a Parisian newspaper. CHINAMEN ON A HOLIDAT. Montreal Thirteen Chinamen passed through the city to-day in bond on their way to Yokohama via Vancouver. They came from New York, and are going home for a holiday, having1 made considerable money in the tea and laundry business. One of the Chinamen, who could speak En glish, said in forcible language that China would soon retaliate on Englishmen and Americans oy preventing them from enter ing China, except under certain conditions. The Chinamen felt very angry at being con veyed in bond liKe freight. ASSAILED BTvA HOB. Madrid Senor Canovas del Castilla, the Prime Minister, had an unpleasant experi ence to-day at Victoria. As the train on which he and his wife were about to depart from the town was pulling out of the station, a jeering and hooting mob made -a rush for the Premier's car and smashed in the win dows of his compartment with stones. So far as known, neither the Minister nor his wife was injured. CALLS IT A FAECE.

Senator Delamater conferred with Mayor Fitler yesterday. As a resnlt it is an nounced that the latter will give his hearty support to the ticket. Wharjon Barker is organizing an independent city committee in Philadelphia. The kickers are also active in Chester. fSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Philadelphia, September 6. Candi date Delamater, Mayor Fitler and David Martin held a conference to-day in the Mayor's office. The Bepublican candidate for Governor and Mayor Fitler have had no meeting since the Bepublican State Conven tion, and the diplomatic Martin is credited with having made the arrangements for to day's meeting, which settled one thing posi tively. All the forces of tbe mnnicipal de partments controlled by Mayor Fitler and his directors will be used in the interest of the Bepublican candidate for Governor. PITLEB GIVES 'WAV. Mayor Fitler was in the sulks for some time after the nomination of Senator Del amater for Governor, but when he found the local leaders ready to consult with him in the making of a fall ticket he announced his intention to actively support the State candidates. The Mayor, during the interview with the Bepublican candidate tor Governor, did not relax any of his official or personal dignity. He spoke in measured terms of his individ ual importance, but made his callers feel easy when he graciously announced his willingness to use every effort to roll up a large Bepublican majority in Philadelphia. Senator Delamater, after leaving the Mayor's office, visited Postmaster Field. The latter has been bnsv for some time past with new schemes for the improvement of the postal service of this citv, and has paid but little attention to the political situation. Mr. Frield was feeling in excellent spirits, and informed Senator Delamater of his faith in the ontcome of the State fight, which he believes will resnlt in the Senator's election by a handsome majority. The hustling candidate for the Gubernator ial honors, with an eye to the value of prac tical services next visited the headquarters of the Bepublican State Committee at the Continental Hotel and had a long talk with Chairman Andrews. DELAMATEB CONTENTED. At its close Senator Delamater expressed himself as contented with the outlook, and said that he is satisfied with the conduct of the campaign np to date. He is not paying much attention to the opposition which is raised against him, his efforts being mainly directed to keeping the stalwarts in line. Eariy in the evening Senator Del amater lelt for Allentown, where he was booked for a speech. Wharton Barker, one of the prime factors in the Independent Bepublican movement against Delamater, when seen to-day, stated that he had concluded to not divulge the names of those who constituted tbe City Committee until Monday. He claims that Delamater will not have 10,000 majority in this city, and thinks that a number of Be publican strongholds in the State will be in douot.

The silly stories about Sena tor Gorman, who was alleged to have started on a tour to Maine to debauch the morals of the voters, was answered by his plain denial, but that did not prevent the starting of an equally silly story to the effect that Colonel W. W. Dudley, of Indiana, was on his way here to help Mr. Beed. What that gentleman wants is to be let alone. The assistance of outsiders does not help him.

The Democrats for revenue only and the Bepnblicans who have been waiting to hear gold dollars dropping on the floor are discouraged. So far nobody has seen any sign of the prom ised Democratic barrel. The sessions of the Board of Aldermen are a pretty good test and certainly the Demo crats have been making no additions to the check list there. Two years ago 650 names had been added, where only 150 have been this year. The work of naturalizing the Biddeford Frenchmen goes on rather slowly before Judge Bonney of the Superior Court. Local interest continues to center on the legislative ticket. There seems to be no good reason for expecting anything else than success of the whole Bepublican ticket. WALLEE WILL HOT BTJN.

Tbe frequent mention of my name as a possi ble candidate for Governor this fall leads me to advise you officially that if snch a nomination were tendered I should be compelled reluctantly to decline it.

Tho Republican Candidate Asserts That the Tariff l the Issue of the Campaign Hli Very .Latest Views Upon tho Question of State Taxation. (SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Allentotvn, Pa., September 5. The Bepnblicans of Allentown to-night gave a ronsing welcome and reception to Senators Delamater and Watres and General Stewart. the Bepublican candidates who will to-morrow address the annual county meeting at Saegersville in thenpper part of thecoanty. After dining at the American hotel the candidates were serenaded by the Allen town band. Senator Delamater in the course of his speech said: The Republican party looks to-day forward and not backward. It is the party of the peo ple. It discusses, determines and puts In operation practical things, benefiting the peo ple not only of this Commonwealth, but of the nation. I stand here as the representative ol protection. In this campaign my opponent appears with the mask torn oT. and he stands as tho avowed representative of free trade. We are engaged in a great struggle ?, ' we are on the eve of a ereateroneln 1882. In which this issue will be even more clearly defined, on thlq imnnt thr st muse do its part not in a mild way, bnt in a """ smpuaiic way. xne KeDUDlican party has taken a stand in Its plat form on the question of State taxation. Tho party has taken the view that tbe land of the farm, your homes and mine, have been ex cessively taxed and bear more than their burden of public expenses as against the cor porations. That view Is mine. I have come to the same conclusion. The party sars to the farmer that it will give him relief.that It will put on the corporation and on personal property their share, and that it will out on enongh tax that the counties can be paid back sufficient to afford a relief that will be felt at once by the farmer and the land owner. That is tbe kind of talK I like. If I am elected Governor I proDose to see this earned ont We will foe able to raise enough money to give the needed relief and give It promptly. To-day Pennsylvania stands prac tically free from debt, owing to onr wise and economic administration, and I figure it out that enongh can be secured from the corpora tions to Increase the nchool fund in- each county two-fold. lam aRepnblican.and stand on a Republican platform. I believe in all that which has Inspired the Republican party in the last 27 years in saving a nation's life, in freeing a race that was in slavery. In givine the right to vote to all men irrespective of color, in the grand work of reconstrnction. In glvine a sound currency and wise banking system that has made us one of the greatest nations on tbe earth, and in throwing np the bulwark of pro tection to American labor. Senator Watres and General Stewart each made a short address. CHESTEE INDEPENDENTS Claim to Have Secured 1,200 Votes fqr Governor Paulson. rgfECIAL TSLEORAX TO TUB DISPATCK.l West Chester, September 5. There is a continued activity in the Independent Be publican movement, and the work ii going forward so quietly that it is hard to ascer tain anything definite concerning it. Avery carefully planned still hunt is nevertheless known to be in progress, and the resnlt of all this labor is the one thing that is most difficuitto estimate in the present campaign. It is claimed that the Independents have en rolled the names of 1.200 voters in Chester county who have declared their intention to vote for Mr. Pattison, and they are not yet through with their count. It is very generally admitted that a change of 1,500 voters from Delamater to Pattison wonld give the latter a majority, and that 1,300 would leave a very narrow margin for Delamater. There will be no pnblic demonstrations made bv the In dependents. They depend entirely on the use of the mails and personal promises of the individuals. They will, however, be expected, in accordance with the under standing existing among them, to vote as a unit, and this time their votes are to be given to Pattison. EABLY IK THE MOBHTHG. A New Political Party Springs Up With the Lark. St. Louis, September 5. A new politi cal party was born after midnight last night in Central-Turner Hall. The National Be form party for such it has been christened is the ontcome of the convention assem bled during the past 36 hours. After much vehement discussion the platform as a whole was adopted at a very late hour. This platform embraces about 24 planks. The abolition of national banks, prohibi tion, Government control of railroads, uni form marriage and divorce laws, a protest against the alien ownership of lands, tariff reform, the regulation of corporations and the restriction of pan per immigration were among the sentiments voiced and agreed to. A National Executive Committee was ap pointed, consisting of W. W. Jenks, Chi cago; Mrs. F. E. Willard, President of the W. C. T. XT.; Mrs. S. E. T. Emery, Lan sing.

World's Fair Sensation Created by State Officials U ho Failed TO flOTICE ALASKAN DELEGATES, The Sitka Kepresentativea Waited Long for tne Invitation, BDT TBEIE HiMES WEEEPIGEOJf-HOLED Washington Park Cannot be Hon. Used for the Eiposl. No acknowledgment of the receipt of the names of the Alaskan delegates to the meet ing of the World's Fair Commissioners was made by the State Department, and, in con sequence, the Sitka representatives wera not on hand at tbe convention. Chicago, September 5. Director N. H. Kohlsaat returned to the city from Alaska last night and was at the World's Fair' headquarters to-day. Mr. Kohlsaat's trip to the United States' largest possessions de veloped quite a sensation in connection with the World's Columbian Commission. In conversation with Governor Knapp at Sitka he learned that when the President of the United States invited the Governors of all tbe States and Territories to appoint two citizens, one a Democrat and the other a Bepublican, for the office of National Com missioner of the World's Columbian Expo sition, an invitation to the Governor of Alaska was included. In response to this invitation Governor Knapp forwarded to Washington, D. C, the names of Edward De Goff, of Sitka, and Judge Williams, of Juneau, Alaska, as candidates for the place. DELEGATES 'WERE NOT NOTICED. TJp to the date of August 20, the day on which Governor Enapp.met Director Kohl saat, no acknowledgment was received from the State Department at Washington of the receipt of the names submitted. The names of the commissioners from the States and other Territories were promulgated, the Commissioners' Convention was held herein June and no apparent notice was taken of the absence of the delegation from Alaska. The two gentlemen named by Governor Knapp have been prepared to start for Chi cago ior many weeks, and are only awaiting the arrival of their formal commissions from the State Department. The fact that Alaska had no representation.at Washing ton, and the poor and costly telegraphic service, the nearest telegraph station being hundreds of miles distant from Sitka, be tween the nation's capital and the nearest military post, account in a measure for the lack of prompt communication on the sub ject between the Secretary of State and the Governor of Alaska. HOtV IT happened. The communication from Governor Knapp may have been overlooked or pigeon-holed on its arrival in Washington, and to this cause may be attributable the absence from the National Commission at this time of the two representatives from far away Alaska. ' Mr. Kohlsaat called on Secretary Dickin son in the Pullman building this morning, and related his conversation with Governor Knapp. Sir. Dickinson at once wired the State Department at Washington for the particulars of tbe case. Tbe Societa Christoforo Colombo, one of the oldest Italian societies of this city, has taken the necessary initiatory steps toward raising afnnd which is to be expended in the erection of a fitting monument in honor of their illustrious countryman, Christopher Columbus. It is their purpose to have the monument completed in time for the inaug ural ceremonies of the Columbian Exposi tion in 1893. They purpose calling upon Americans to contribute to the proposed fund, and tbns, jointly, realize a sum suffi cient to erect a handsome and permanent memorial of the great discoverer. THEV HAD TO DECLINE. Washington Park will not be tendered to World's Fair directors. Snch is the unani mous decision of the South Park Commis sioners. At a meeting of the Executive Board of tbe South Park Commissioners to night the following report was made to the World s tair Directors: Tbe South Park Commissioners have re ceived from your board a 'request that Wash ington Park and Midway Plaisance shall ba tendered for tbe use of the Colombian Exposi tion. The plaisance has already been tendered. The request for Washington Park, supported as it is by a large number of petitioners, resi dents or property owners of the park district, the Commission, after fnll de liberations are constrained to decline. The Commissioners have already made a tender of the unimproved portion of Jackson Park. They will now add thereto the unim proved acres of that park, making a total acreage in tbe South Park system so tendered 670. A mile and a half of frontage on tbe lake shore is Included in Jackson Park, and, when improved, as may be done now that the shore protection is substantially complete, will make an attractive featnre of the fair. The site, we understand. Is already accepted by the National Commission, which has expressed no wish to reconsider its acceptance. The Park Commissioners desire to say that in tbe preparation of the Jackson Park and Midway Plaisans for the purposes of the fair they will meet the directors in a cordial spirit of co-operation.
