srEClAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCHl
Cxstox, October 25. Secretary of State
Blaine arrived here Jrom Pittsburg at noon
to-day. He was met at Alliance by a re
ception committee from Canton and escorted
to this city over tbe Pennsylvania Railroad.
A crowd of 5,000 people greeted Mr. Blaine
with loud chcerine as be alighted from tbc
train and followed bis carriage, cheering all
the tray to the home of Major McKinley,
whose guest be was during his stay here.
Mr. Blaine was accompanied by Sirs.
Blaine and ber daughter, Miss Harriet
Blaine, and Hon. "William "Walter Phelps,
Minister to Germany.
Upon their arrival at the residence of
Major McKinley an informal reception was
held. Early trains in the forenooi had
brought large delegations of Republicans
from Xonngstown, Alliance, Massillon,
"VYooster, "Wellsville and other towns in
this and adjoining districts.
Marching in a Throng.
The streets were thronged an d at ISO r.
Jt. a parade of marching columns occurred.
Shortly after noon it begin raining, and it
was decided to have the meeting at the
Tabernacle instead of at the fair grounds, as
originally intended. The building was
packed, as was also the Academy of Music,
in which an overflow meeting was held. Mr.
Blaine made his principal address at the
Zfebcrnacle, where) he was followed by
Major McKinley. Then toe was driven to
the Academy of Music, but made only a
brief speech. Congressman Dalzell was the
principal speaker at the Academy. Mr.
Blaine spoke as follows at the Tabernacle,
being loudly applauded at the beginning of
the speech and during its delivery:
Not a Partisan Contest.
Air. Chairman and Fellow-Citizens of Ohio:
The contest that is now waging for member
ship of the next Congress, is not properly a
contest between the Itepubhcan and Demo
cratic parties. It is a contest between protec
lonists and free traders. Applause. There
are a few free traders among the Republicans
and there ate many protectionists among the
Democrats. Applause. It is a contest that
goes to the root of the matter as to national
prosperity. Applause. And on that issue
we should settle the question in favor of home
inttrests, good wages and sound prosperity.
As 1 as commc out to this place I found in
a newspaper a speech by Mr. Carl Schurz,
made a week ago in Boston, and I may say in
all cacdor an able speech on the free trade tide.
But like all free traders Mr. fechurz goes back
for the golden era for the American prosperity
to the tariff of 1S16 rather a distant view back
ward. Laughter. If he had taken theposi
tioj ot the late Alexander Stephens, of
Georgia, be might hate gone back still further,
because Mr. Stephens thought the golden era
of A'uencau prospemt was when the British
i-liips came over laden with goods, anchored in
the bavannah river and were laden with cotton
from the plantation for the return voyage.
Laughter.
Ten Tears of Prosperity.
I have so often heard of the great and general
prosperity uuder the tariff of 1816 tLat if you
will bear with me I shall say something of that
period. Mr. fachurz quotes me assaying and
that is why I make a personal reply that the
ten years between 1846 and 1856 under that
tariff were years of very great prosperity in
this country. I f raukly repeat that those vears
were years or great prosperity. Now, let me
say wLy those years wero prosperous. That
t-u-iff of 1816 was approved just about the time
the Mexican war broke out, and, within less
thau a year, more than $100,000,000 were dis
bursed by the Government in all branches of
trade in Mexico.
We had just made that expenditure when a
fammo in Ireland called for every surplus
barrel of flour and buihel of grain in the
country. We had hardly transported that
grain to the other side and sold it at a high
price until gold was discovered in CallfornTa,
and the world was enriched with the vast out
put of the mines. We hardly put that gold in
circulation when the great revolution that be
gan in 184S paralyzed the Industrial energies of
all Europe and gave the United States a
market that was unparalleled. Europe had
hardly quieted the revolutionary disturbance
when France and England and Russia went
into the Crimean war, and for two years and a
half thote great nations were paralyzed la
their industries.
It Was Accidental Prosperity.
Now there are four or five ot what you might
call the accidents or the incidents of history
that would have insured great prosperity to
this country it there had not been a tariff of
any kind whatever. 'Applause. If the duties,
instead of being what the tariff of 1M6 made
them, had been only 1 per cent advalorem. or
if there had been no duties, the country would
have been prnspe-ous. Now if you can pro
duce such a convulsion in the world to-day. if
you can start a great famine, if you can dis
cover new gold fields, with uncounted million
thrown into. the lap of the people, if yon can 1
nave every nation in .Europe disturbed by a
revolution. If you can have the three greatest
nations in Europe go to war for two years and
a half, then we will quit talking tariff and go to
supplying the vacuum which that condition of
things in Europe would create. Applause. I
In the fall ot 1856. when this tariff bad been
under nay for ten years, this great war in
Europe came to an end, and so did all the pros
perity under the tariff ot 1816. Applause.
Yon all remember what happened In 1857 one
of the severest panics and depressions this
country ever encountered, and as soon the ac
cidental affairs, these fortuitous happenings.
these accidental revolutions, discoveries of
gold, famine as soon as they ceased the pros
perity under the tariff of 1816 ceased also.
Can't Depend on Accidents.
Now, I Insist that we do not want famines.
We don't want resolutions, we don't want to
have thousands of men slaughtered by war, in
order to keep up a free trade tariff, and make it
look prosperous when It Is not. Laughter and
applause. Give us a protective tariff, and we
can get along without the slaughter or the
starvation of men. .
An in connection with the tariff of 1846, 1
want to say that you never heard of a free
trade tariff coming to the relief of the people.
Laughter. The only threa times that the
people of the United States tried a free trade
tariff they fell into adversity until a pro
tective tariff camo to the. relief of the
people. Some people want us to let the
protective tariff go by in order to
make the experiment again. Well, I would
like to sec that experiment tried, if only one or
two people wero to suffer; but It Is a pretty
bard thing to take the dreadful and terrible
chance of prostrating the industries of the
country when there are CI. 000. 000 mouths to be
fed. I Applause When tue tariff of 1816 was
enacted there were only 20,000,01)0 of people in
this country. We now have 64.000,000. Four
years after tho tariff was enacted, accoiding to
the census of the United States, we only had
57,000.000,000 of property. We now have
61,000,000 of people and $60,000,000,000 of prop
erty. Applause. Gentlemen, you cannot
sport with that number of people and with that
mass of property. We cannot experiment
even at this time and hazard the vast interests
when we could not put the country where it
stands to-day for. ten penitential years there
after. Applause.
The Reciprocity Idea.
Mr. Schurz condemns the effort of Congress
to secure reciprocity of trade with certain
countries. Laughter. The free traders hajo
always been telling us that if we would adujt
their theory we would have a new era in this
country. On that form of statement I will not
differ from them. Laughter. I think wo
should have a new era. Congress at its last
session concluded to adopt a new policy. They
looked at South America, and they found that
we were receiving f rqm those people vast im
ports and exporting little to them. The ques
tion was, shall we repeal the duty
on sugar and give that to South Amer
ica, in addition to the coffee
ana the hides, and the dye woeds, and the
rubber, and the other things from South
America acd shall we ask those men: "If we
give you our markets for the pound will you
let us enter yours for a few shillings?" Ap
plausel. "Ob.'no Mr. Schurz says that wont do at all.
You must resort to free trade. But I would
like to ask Mr. Shurz before this Ohio audience
how free trade is going to let us into the mar
kets with our products? Wo have been giving
Brazlll a market for their nearly 60.000,000 of
prodnctf.and they were taking from us seven or
eight or nine millions.
Free Trade Wouldn't Help It.
Now suppose we declared absolute free trade.
How would that help us with Brazil? They
have not been buying anything and they do
not let anything in free. Thirty-six million
dollars' worth of coffee, fourteen to sixteen
millions of rubber, several millions of hides
and a great many aye stuffs and wood of that
kind, all come into the United States withont a
shilling of duty. But we want to send down
there some flour, some lumber, some corn and
wheat, the products of the West as will as ot
the East, and are not satisfied as things were
going. Laughter.
Well, we went on and awakened them to the
necessities of the situation and wo found that
they feel just as we do that two nations deal
ing with each other must deal as two men do
with each other, fairly, honestly, liberally; so
that the advantage shall not always be on the
side ot the one man or on the side of the one
nation. Applause. Well, that was reciprocity.
It is not a very complex problem. Mr. Schurz
rather intimates it is a strange way of getting
at thing. How strangely mysterious recip
rocity is. It is just as stramre and mysterious
as when a Starke county farmer brings a hun
dred bushels of wheat to Canton, gets his
money for it, buys supplies for his family and
coes back home. Laughter. That is a my s
terious process, very difficu t to understand.
Yet I am sure that Brazil and all the South
American States understood the moment it
was mentioned. 3tS ,w
Bright ProspDCtff Ahe.id
Xet I am sure, and I speak with greater can
dor when I say that I believe that we will ma'ce
a very favorable arrangement as to trad : with
South America. Take a country like Venezu
ela, of large area, uu. a small population not
more than 2,500,000 to 3.000,000. They brine us
$10,400,000 worth of products. But how much
of that is taxed, do you suppose, at the Custom
House? Only $3,000. Every cent of that ex
cept JS.000 escapes taxation. We send them a
good many things, but we do not send them
one shilling's worth that 'is not taxed by tbem.
That is not fair. They admit that it is not fair,
and they are glad and willing to right the mat
ter on reciprocal ground that will be to the
prosperity of this country and to the pros
perity of others. Atrade that is so one-sided
as that caunot be continued lorever.
1 have not seen an approval Irom any free
trade country of tbe reciprocity idea that has
stood the test for three months. When re
ciprocity was first suggested, the free traders,
all, or nearly all, approved. At that time they
thought it would divide the protectionists in
Congress, and thev urged it very earnestly as
long as they thought there would be some
division as long as they conceived that it was
the dividing line that might obstruct tbe pro
tectionists. A Boisterous Interruption.
Mr. Blaine did not finish this paragraph,
as tbe crowd in the gallery at his left hand
became excited and started half panic
stricken for tbe exit. Mr. Blaine and Min
ister Phelps discovered at a quick glance
that the gallery was in no danger of falling,
and both shouted to the crowd and waved
their bands to reassnre tbe excited throng.
When quiet was restored, Mr. Blaine re
sumed bis remarks as lollows:
Now, as I was saying, these free traders
thought they heard a little crack cheer'; they
thought that tbe Republican party would be
stampeded. Applause. Now the Republic
ans are not frightened by a crack. Cheers.
As long as the free traders thought that there
would be a division in the Republican party
they encouraged reciprocity, but very soon
they found that the Republican party was not
in the habit of having divisions in Its ranks.
Cheers. The ranks -.closed up and the reci
procity provision was adopted by the Republican
Congress. Cheers.
J ust as soon as the free traders found that rec
iprocity could not be used to divide the Re
publican party they were all against it.
Cheers. Everyone of them: and now they
are repudiating it and telling you what a hum
bug it is, and how little value there is in it, and
how small it will be to the people of this coun
try from It,
Better Walt Awhile.
Well, it is never wise to make a prediction be.
fore an event. It is not wise for the free traders
to proclaim Us failure at present. I don't pro
pose to say anything about its success. We
are given a year in which to try it. Let us wait
a year and see what can be done. Cheers. I
am not here to boast of it. I am here to con
demn the course of the tree traders, who, as
long as it promised to divide the protectionists
were in favor or it, but who are set against it
at the moment they find that protectionists
will not divide. Cheers.
Your duty, gentlemen, if I may suggest It, is
to elect a protectionist to Congress. Cheers
and cries ot "We will. That is your interest,
thatis tbo interest of every district in tbe coun
try, and 1 appeal to this district because of tbe
interests at your doorsill and fireside. I appeal
to every man in Starke county and in the tnree
other counties that make ud the district. But
ynu have a special reason. Tbe Congress has
323 members. It is a very great distinction to
any man, a distinction to the district represent
ed, and a distinction to the man himself to be
placed at tbe bead of the Committee of Ways
and Means and to lead tbe House of Represent,
atives. Cheers.
An Appeal to Local Pride.
That is where Thaddens Stephens stood tbe
last alght years of his life; that is where the
great citizen of Ohio, lately deceased. General
"Robert C. Schenck, stood for six years, and
that is where William McKinley stands now
uproarious cheering , and I appeal both to
your interest and your pride to send him back
again that he may be useful, not merely to tbls
district, not to his State alone, but to the people
of tbe United States.
At the Academy of Music Mr. Blaine
spoke as follows:
Fellow-Citizens I am not here to make a
speech, buch observations as I bad to make I
gave in a speech at tbe other bail. I came here
to congratulate you on tbs victory which
awaits vou here in Ohio. This is not a battle
between Republicans and Democrats. It is a
contest between protection and free trade. Let
us pull together for protection and with one
more pull sweep from us free trade, which has
never been more active than it is to-day. This
district will not do its duty if it does not return
to Congress the head man cf the Ways and
Means Committee, the leader of the House
William McKInley, Jr.
Mr. Blaine and party left at 6 o'clock to
night for Chicago.

is, Judge," called out some one, and a
colored baby not more than two years old
brought forward. Mrs. James Biley, of

of the voters. As be was about to go tbe
little colored boy, Bicbard James, came
into the room and Bussell asked his name,
and upon being told wrote something in bis

An outdoor meeting was addressed by
Colonel frank Mooter and Mr. Wallace
McCamant. Both meetings were large. In

Hatbe, October 25. The Irish members
sailed this morning by the La Champagne,
which left for America at 8 o'clock. The
party included Mr. and Mrs. William
O'Brien, Mr. John Dillon, Mr. and Mrs.
Sullivan, Mr. Timothy D. Harrington and
the Secretary of the National League. They
all arrived bere shortly before 5 o'clock this
morning, having left Paris at 11 o'clock last
night, Mr. O'Brien was the first to alight
from the cars, and, with his wife, he went at
once aboard the steamer, as did Mr. and
Mrs. Sullivan.
Mr. Dillon and Mr. Harrington remained
a short time on the pier, looking after the
baggage. Mr. O'Brien occupied staterooms
55 to 59, which are considered the chambre
de luxe of the ship. Tbey are spacious,
elegant apartments, fitted with every com
fort and situated next to the salon at the
foot of the grand staircase, on tbe starboard
side of tbe ship.
Mr. O'Brien is pale and worn in appear
ance, although he is in perfect health, but
tired out. Mr. Dillon looks flushed and
worried. He and Mr. Harrington share the
same stateroom.
WATCHED BY DETECTIVES.
Detectives Flood and Mack, from Scot
land Yard, were awaiting the arrival of the
train from Paris this morning, presumably
for the purpose of reporting the departure
ot the party to the authorities, but, though
they saw the men they were after, they were
forced to rest content with seeing tbem at a
distance. The detectives stood beside the
gangway as the party boarded the vessel,
and Mr. O'Brien, recognizing tbem, made a
joking remark to bis wife, calling her at
tention to the men. She laughed as she
looked at them and seemed very much
amused.
Mr. O'Brien granted a brief interview to
the reporter, during which all the male
members of the party were present, the
ladies having retired to their rooms.
"Do you intend to visit Canada?" the re
porter asked.
"The arrangements for that," replied Mr.
O'Brien, "can only be completed after our
visit to America is ended. TJp to the
present we have formed no plans. We
most certainly favor a visit to Canada, and
if it is thought best we shall go there, for
no.feat oj arrest jn-ihat country would for
c moment .hinder onir -fakiuRsuch a sfcpi?
We do nut seek Immunity ironi arrest, either
in Canada or elsewhere."
"Which of the three opposing factions in
the famine fund will have your support?"
EUriUKES DISCREDITED.
Mr. Dillon said, in reply to this query:
"Until we arrive in America and have seen
Mr. J. P. Gill, who preceded us two weeks
ago, it is utterly impossible for us to form or
express an opinion as to any committee that
may be working on the other side of the
Atlantic Prom experience I am inclined
to discredit any and all rumors of a rupture
or confusion among our friends. On tbe
other hand I am confident that perfect har
mony will prevail in this, work that is to be
for the ;ood of the Irish people.
"I wish vou would permit me to say
there is absolutely no truth in the statement
that we ran away from Ireland in order to
give more eclat and senation to our Amer
ican visit, owing to the bad odor in which
tbe famine iund is said to be held there.
That is all nonsense. It is tbe kind of
stuff innocent people have been swallow
ins for a long time. Our plans were made
for departure a long while since, and had
no reference to the plaus the Government
made touching the same subject, or our de
parture; but if the Government is happy,
we are likewise. Our arrest was another
mean, contemptible plan of the home Gov
ernment, and was formed for the purpose
of preventing our reaching America."
PLANS OP THE IRISH LEADERS.
Mr. O'Brien said further: "Our visit to
America will be ot about four months'
duration. Our present intention is to re
turn direct to England after our canvass of
America is over. Still, we may chance
these plans in the event of our having any
special business to attend to before being
pounced upon by the minions of tbe British
Government. And now I must say goodby.
I give godspeed to all my friends and well
wishers, both this side and ou the other side
of the Atlantic."
Mr. Sullivan, a few moments later, was
seen while promenading the deck of the
steamer. "My wife and I are looking for
ward to a great deal of pleasure," said Mr.
Sullivan, in reply to tbe reporter's greeting.
"This is our first trip to America." At
7:50 the "blue peter" was hauld down and
tbe glorious Stars and Stripes were run up
to the hea'd of the mainmast and the big
ship got slowly under way. Possibly owing
to tbe morning being very dark and cold
and rainy there were no sightseers present
and the Irish party was in conference below
as the guns of the La Champagne saluted
and tbe steamer put to sea.

MURDERED FOR GOLD.
A BEAUTIFUL WIDOW CHARGED WITH
KILLING A NOTARY.
He Possessed Her Dead Husband' TV1I1,
'Which Deprived Her of a Fortune The
Police Claim She Committed the Crime
to Secure tho Document.
rST OUSLAF'S CABLE COMFAHT.1
PABIS, October 25. A crime which has
set everyone here talking byreason of its
resemblance to the celebrated ' Gouffe case,
was perpetrated on Thursday at Chantelle,
about ten miles from Ganuat. The victim
was Monsieur Lepine, a notary of that town.
He was a lover of the lady who is now
under the supervision of the police as having
committed the murder or suggested it. The
woman is well known iu Paris, where her
husband occupied a very good position. She
is very fascinating, dark complectioned, and
with a wealth of soft, black hair reaching
below her waist. Since the death of her
husband she has had many suitors, but,
coquettish by nature, no one held her long
except tbe notary to whom the custody of
the will and the carrying out of its condi
tions was intrusted.
Qn Thursday morning the notary received
a verv pressing invitation to dine with his
fascinating client, as she said she wanted to
consult him on certain points in the will.
The notary accepted the invitation, and in
the afternoon proceeded to the widow's
house. He look the precaution to put a
revolver into his pocket as his way lay
through a lonely road, and several assaults
had been committed there by footpads. The
widovritJjkknown, made elaborate prepa
rations lor.i&$pS&tlJv Sbfr received him'
with all hejr grace of manner, and with a
keener desire than usual to make him feel
perfectly at home. The notary, too, seemed
nappy in the presence of the widow, and
ch.itted gaily as he sat by her side. He did
not return home that night, and next morn
ing inquiries were made about him A
messenger was sent to the widow's house to
learn if he was ill, but as he drew near he
was horrified at finding traces of blood
which led to a secluded spot, where he
found tbe body ot the unfortunate man
lying in a pool of blood. He immediately
gave the alarm, and the remains ot the
notary were taken to his house, where an
examination revealed the fact that he was
pierced in no less than eight places by the
bullets of a revolver, while bis throat was
cut from ear to ear
The police claim that they know as a fact
that the notary was first fired at iu one of the
woman's rooms and that he fled into the gar
den only to be attacked a second time. The
notary must have struggled with his mur
derers, for the skin of his knees was rubbed
off and there are bruises on his wrist where
he must have been caught and thrown
down.
As soon as tbe facts of the murder were
known the fascinating widow received an
unwelcome visit from the police department,
and the house was searched, when a key be
longing to the small chest in 31. Xiepine s
office in which the will was kept was lound.
Tins key was undoubtedly stained with
blood, and the officers at once put the widow
uuder police supervision and arrested tbe
servants. The police declare that the
woman drugged M. Lepine with doctored
wine. Then she and her accompl'ces mur
dered him, using his own revolver for tbe
purpose. Her motive, they assert, was to
get her husband's will and destroy it so that
she could obtain possession of the property, as
she knew that under the provisions of the
will, as it existed in the notary's office, she
would lose everything.
STANLEY CALLED ON.
ropular Feeling Asks Him to Answer tho
Charges Against Him.
tBT CABLE TO THE DISFATCn.1
London, October 25. The book of
Major Barttelot's correspondence and di
aries, edited by his brother, was published
the same day that Stanley was receiving
a doctor's degree at Cambridge, and trying
to look as though he understood the Latin in
oration in which be was likened unto
Ctesar. Barttelot's letters show that Stan
ley must be a very shoddy kind of a Cajsar;
but then, of course, all "great men are not
free from faults.
The unanimous feeling is that the charges
made in the book are sn serious that Stanley
is bound to reply to them promptly and
fully. "It will not do," says the-FuH Mall
Gazette, "for the explorer to send an intima
tion through his private secretary that his
engagements do not give him time to notice
such things."

The Previous Outrages Perpetrated by the

THIS LAST SHOCK MAI PB0TE FATAL
rsrECIAL TELSOEAJt TO THE DISPATCH.l
Uniontown, October 25. McCIelland
town is again the center of excitement. An
outrage similar to that perpetrated by the
famous robber gang occurred there early
this morning. The house ot Mrs. George
Murket was set on fire by unkowu parties,
and the occupants, Mrs, Murket, ber little
daughter and a neighbor were aroused just
in time to save tbe building and their own
lives.
At 3 o'clock Mrs. Murket was awakened
by a dense smoke that filled her room, and
called to Thomas Christopher, who was
sleeping in the bouse. The latter ran out,
and fired his revolver, to give the alarm.
He then returned to the house, and found a
bed in the second story in flames.
TTEEBE THE FIEE STABTED.
The Incediaries had entered through an
openincJefJ by carpenters, and, placed the
bedtickirectly'oVer the,3prac-otw1bare Mrs."
Murket was sleeping, in tne room oeiow.
They then set it on fire, and it burned
through the floor, sparks falling on the
woman below, and arousing her just in
time. The roof had caught in the meantime,
but the fire was extinguished without much'
difficulty.
Mrs. Murkat is the woman who was at
tacked and robbed and tortured by two men
last August, who threatened to burn her to
death. One month later they visited her,
and told her she had talked too much about
their former visit, and they would now make
an end of her. They tied her to the bed,
saturatrd her with kerosene, and were about
to apply the match, when one relented, and
she was left iu that position more dead than
alive.
PEAKS TOR HEK LIFE.
She has not yet recovered from the
shock, and it is feared this last outrage will
result fatally. She identibed ber assailants
as John Dean and Keuben Bowers, who were
arrested, and in default of bail, were sent to
jail. Becently Deau was released on $3,000
bail.
Mrs. Murket is said to be a very respect
able woman, the wife of an oil driller, and
no other motive than robbery can account for
the terrible outrages to which she has been
subjected. The place is in a fever of excite
ment, and if the guilty parties are caught
they will receivo very rough treatment from
the farmers of that vicinity, who have begun
to fear for tbeir homes.
TEOUBLE IN TOBACCO.
Leaf Importers Protest Against a Section of
the TarUX
SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, October 25. Importers of
tobacco leaf are kicking vigorously about a
section in the new tariff law, and the au
thorities at the Custom House admit that
there is justice iu tbeir protests. Schedule
7, paragraph 242, of the new tariff law says
that leaf tobacco suitable for wrappers, it
not stemmed, shall payadutyof 2a pound,
and if stemmed, $2 75 a pound; but if any
portion of any tobacco imported in any
bale, box, or package, or in bulk, shall be
suitable tor cigar wrappers, the entire quan
tity ot tobacco in such packages shall be
dutiable, if not stemmed, at $2, and if
stemmed, at S3 75.
.Paragraph zu says that all otber tobacco
in leaf, unmanufactured and unstemmed
shall pay a duty of 35 cents a ponnd. Ap
praisements have already been made under
this ruling and importers say that if the
ruling is sustained they will either have to
cease importing "fillir" tobacco, or will
have to buy it stemmed'in Havana. In al
most every package of this tobacco there is
some that'ean be used for wrappers. The
tobacco men are organizing to protest
against that paragraph of tbe law.
DEATH BLOW TO THE Z. OF L.

ISPECIALIELEOttAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
Detroit, October 25. The order of the
K. of L. in Detroit has received its death
blow. Wben tbe other organizations de
serted to their trades the shoemakers stood by
it manfully and kept it alive when nothing
else conld. To-day the leaders of the shoe
makers decided that the order no longer an
swered tbeir purpose and their only hope
was in a trade union.
Grottkau and other rabid anti-Mechanics
have sprung the trade union, and, while all
the shoemakers may not desert, enough will
go to kill the Knights in that branch of
trade, at least The failure of the late strike
led to the first breath ot dissatisfaction.

tSPSCTAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. t
Baltimore, October 25. There was a
lively scene on the Front Street Tneater
stage last night just as the curtain was about
to be rung up. Go Won Go, the Mohawk
Indian girl who is starring m the "Indian
Mail Carrier," had been sued for f2,000
damages by the ITorepaugh Theater Com
pany, of this city, because of an alleged
breach of contract. Shortly before 8 o'clock
two constables pushed their way through the
stage entrance with a writ of attachment on
the horses which Go Won Go uses in her
daring feats. As soon as their business was
known there was fun. Go Won Go, in a
suit of war paint, feathers and moccasins,
was full of fight. She stepped up to the offi
cers and said:
"You just lay a finger on one of those
horses it you dare. Now git."
Charles Charley, who does the Irishman
in the piece, was at her side with his trusty
rifle in his hand.
"Git," said Go Won Go once more, and
the constable "Got." A daring Mobawk
maiden who might think nothing of scalp
ing a constable or two was more than they
bad bargained for, and so the play went on
undisturbed. Miss Go Won Go has en
gaged a lawyer.

Ho one hat so rapidly won such a wide reputa

about his short stones. The great question on
all sides is whether he will show the same
extraordinary talent in a lonsrer tale, involving
plot and the management of various characters.
The first serial from Kipling's pen comes in
answer to this speculation. The open chapters

JETVE CENTS, i
MATTERjFMETEBS,
Plenty of Natural Gas, but the
Great Waste in Iron
Mills Necessitates
A NEW BASIS FOR SUPPLY.
Private Consumers Much More Profit
able Than Manufacturers.
PDEL METERS ARE SUCCESSFUL
In Begistering the Consumption of Million
of Feet a Day.
WflOISTOPAI FOETHEJT.ISTHEQUEEI
The notice issued by the Philadelphia
Company to the mills it famishes with nat
ural gas, that the supply would be cut off
thin a few days, is only another evidence
h is an economical age, and not that
r
tph
'ply a move toward the use of meters to
promote economy and curtail the lavish
waste which has been going on for several
years.
- When the European iron and steel men
were here, a short time ago, the thing that
surprised them most, and even filled them
with pain, was the waste of valuable fuel
goinc on all around them.
The officials of several natural gas com
panies were interviewed yesterday, and they
all agreed that there is no falling off in the
supply of the fuel, but that the demand is
growing greater.
METERS A SUCCESS TS MILLS.
The points so far made are that there it
more money in furnishing the fuel to dwell'
ing houses, where even the most reckless
and extravagant individual will use tho
necessary economy to insure personal com
fort, than to supply it to mills, where there)
is no curb upon waste; and that the meter
system can be applied to mills consuming;
millions oi feet a day, npon a basis satis
factory to the gas companies and the con
sumers. Experiments at the Citizens' Traction
power house, at Sboenberger's mills, and iu
Columbus, O., have already proven the
meter system a success. One question has
not been answered, and that is, who is to
pay for the meters, the gas companies or tho
consumers? Tbey are rather expensive
affairs, and to properly equip a large mill
with these meters will cost from $10,000 to
?15,000.
The price paid for gas by manufacturer
has been on the basis of a finished ton of
metal, but is roughly estimated at 5 cenU
per 1,000 feet. Householders using tbo
meter system pay 10 cents per 1,000 feet.
The Philadelphia Company is to furnish,
gas to tbe Citizens' Traction Company at
1 cents per 1,000 feet, and if this is de-t
terminedupon as the price for large cod
sumers, tbeqdestion as to the cost of natural
gas as compared with coal will then arise.
COST OF COAL COMPARED WITH GAS.
Henry E. Seiberf, Secretary of the Manu
facturers' Natural Gas Company, is well
posted on tbe subject Tbls company was!
organized with the main object of supplying,
mills with natural gas. At one time six
iron mills were furnished with gas by this
company, but it was soon found more profit
able to go into the domestic beating end of
the business, and now but one mill, tho
Keystone, gets its fuel from this source.
Mr. Seibert is, therefore, disinterested la
his opinion upon the profit and policy of
supplying gas to mills nnder the present
wide-open arrangement. He said, in re
sponse to questions: "There is more money
for a natural gas company in furnishing gas
for domestic heating than in supplying
mills. There is a large amonnt ot waste in
a mill. No attempt is made to save the gas,
and it is allowed to burn right along, be
tween heats and wben tbe men are network
ing. This gas, too, has to be forced in at a
high pressure. In comparing the price of
coal with gas. it must be remembered that
with the latter tbc process of puddling is
hastened, and more work can be done in
the same length of time than with coal; that
the wear and tear of coal upon tbe furnaces
is much greater than with gas, and that tha
use of coal entails the employment of aa
army of men to handle it."
THE MOVE EXPECTED.
MANUFACTURERS WHO WERE PREPARED
FOR THE EMERGENCY.
Jones & Langhlins Have a Line of Their
Own The Pennsylvania Tnbe Works
Company lias an Artificial Plant How
Others Axe Affected.
Among the mills most affected by tha
notices of the Philadelphia Company sra
Jones & Laughlins American Works, tbs
Pennsylvania Tnbe Works, Moorbead, Mc-
Cleaue & Co., and Lloyd, Son & Co.'s mills
on Second avenue. A Dispatch reporter
called on Mr. Willis L. King, General Man
ager for Jones & Laughlins, as they are one
of the largest consumers. Mr. King said:
These notices do not surprise tha manufac
turers. We had been expecting them for soma
time, and most of us are prepared. Although
the notices are rather open ones, it Is expected
that tbey will be enforced in the early part of
OUb WCCJk. 1UO mVUipUJ UU USTB IBCU-Uf

contemplates forcing the meters on the mann
facturers. 1 believe it wants the gas for Alle
gheny, as private consumers are more profit
able. In fact, I do not Deiieve yet. It is pos
sible to make a meter tbat will register the
consumption of gas in a paddling furnace cor
rectly, because there is such an enormous'
volume of the fuel used.
