The polit ical excitement has quieted down and all hands are now getting ready for the next session of Congress. It is reported to-day and believed by many to be true, that Senator Quay has finally decided to step down and out and that Mr. Clarkson will be his successor as Chairman of the Republican National Com mittee Many Republicans are criticising Senator Quay now with great energy and saying that if he had resigned the Chairman ship last summer, as he ought to have done, all this trouble would not have come upon the party. The appointment by the President of H. H. Bengough as pension agent at Pittsburg, on Fridav, is cited as a signifi cant indication of Senator Quay's waning power. Hitherto Senator Quay has decided all the important Pennsylvania appoint ments, say the Republican malcontents, and he had a man slated for the Pittsburg office, but at the last moment he joined with Con gressman Daizell. CONSERVATIVE ACTIOH rBEDICTED. The impression prevails that the Repub licans will decide to pursue a mild and con servative line of action during the re mainder of the present Congressional life time. A few hot heads are for radical legis lation of the most violent kind, but they will probably find themselves in a decided minority in the caucus. It is understood that President Harrison is not an advocate cf extreme measures. His Cabinet have persuaded him to abandon the extra session idea, and now he is said to have come to the con clusion that it will be wise' lor Congress to confine itself this winter chiefly to routine matters. There were many Republican Senators, it will he remembereJ, who doubiej the expediency of passing the Jelcc ions bill last summer, and now the probability is tint theyTiave not become any more favorable to that measure since last Tuesday. Indeed, the passage of the elections jbill is now regarded generally as a practical impossibility. A REAPPORTION SIETT BILL WASTED. On the other hand, the Republicans are virtually unanimous as to the necessity of passing a reapportionment bill, and it is certain that this bill will take rank as one of the chief features of the coming session. Speaker Reed and Mr. Lodge, it is said, have not yet given up the elections bill. They mav insist on its passage and if so there will be a fight in caucus over the vote. The Parmers' Alliance o!ks say they have come to stay. President Polk, of the Alli ance, told a reporter this morning that the Rational, or Southern, wing of that organi zation would co-operate with the North western nitn this winter, and that in a little while they would "have a grip on the situa tion in almost every corner of theland." The Democrats are very indignant about the spirit manifested by the administration in putting a stop to the gun-firing on the White House lot last evening. Colonel "Ernst, the Commissioner of Public Build ings and Grounds, assumes all re sponsibility for the affair, but nobody believes that he would have ventured to take such action if he had not been directed to do so by the President. The Democrats were onlv following a time honored custom, which had never been in terfered with before by either political party. AFTER THE STYLE OF WHEAT. COMMISSIONER M'DONALD SAYS SHAD MUST BE PLANTED. All "Worked in on an Artificial Basis 0 era 3Iillioii loun; Members of the Pinny Tribe Turned Into the Potomac Crowds Witness the Operation. ISPEC1AL. TEI.rQl.AM TO TOE DI8PATCH.I Washington, .November 8. At low tide this morning a gate was opened and iix-acre pond down near the "Washington monument was drained off into the river. Along with the water over a million young shad found their way into the Potomac. The work to-day was under the supervision of Colonel McDonald, the Pish Commis sioner, and Dr. Rudolph Hessel, who is in charge of the fish ponds. A number of interested spectators were on hand to watch operations and to get a chance to see shad by the wholesale. After the gates had been lifted, and while the pond was rapidlyjoining thebrimmingjnver, Colonel McDonald talked at some length on the subject ol shad culture. He said: ltiputtins ont of over 1,000.000 shad that are big enough to lok for tbemselves and that Sn consequence will probably arrive at maturi ty, is a very important event The shad fish ing to-day is on an artificial basis as thoroughly as tbo grain fields of lha West. It you don t plant wheat you won't have wheat, audit is the same witn shad. Our rivers are so completely blocked up with nets every sprine that crv few shad can get up to spawn, and if it were vol for ariflcial culture the shad fish ery would so.m disappear; but as it is the sbad catch last i-onng was double in size what it was in lSKt, and it is constantly increasing. The I'otomic catch this year was 400,000. To-day we put back three times that many and remember these shad that go back are not fry. Tbey are well grown fish. Hitherto we havo only put in niall fry. bat our plan now is to keep the shad in ponds until as late as they can be kept -afelv. and then to turn them ont into the river. Shad of that size are worth CO tin ts the same nnuiber of f r. as far as their chances of growing up are concerned. The plan now is to hac big ponds on the de of rach of the shad streams of the country and turn out fincerlins shad in tlu tail instead of lettine tnem go as soon as they have hatched in the spring In my opinion this is one of the most important moves the Fish Com mission has ever made. We are mak ing arrangements for operating a 100 acro pnnd on the Delaware next spring, and we rxpect most valuable results. The exDense is practically nothing, and the number of shad that can be raised simply depends on the size of the pond. One hundred and firty thousand to the aero can be raised on the natural food of the water, and with artificial feeding this num ber can be greatly increased. ALASKA C0UKTED, TOO, A Sort of Census Itcconnolssance Made by a v It ussian Resident. Washington, November 8. A bulletin from the Census Office upon the census of "Alaska is composed entirely of a brief intro ductory statement from Superintendent Porter and a statement Jrom Special Agent Petroff describing his experience in organizing a force of enumerators tor his district. Superintendent Por ter says: "The work of collecting statistics of population, resources, etc, of Alaska has been intrusted to Ivan Petroff, who ac complished in 1890 what may be termed a "census reconnoissance" tk that territory. The isolated condition of Alaska and the lack of mean's of transportation and mail facilities made it impracticable to employ the same methods used in other parts of the country. . '"Mr. Petroff begarfnis work February 10, and having divided the territory into eight divisions organized a force of assistant special agents for the field work from resi dents of Alaska familiar with the languages and the country." The enumeration is nearly completed, but only partial returns have yet been received. A PEEHNENT QUESTION. Canadian Workmen Who Cleverly Get Around the Contract labor law. Washington, November 8. The ques tion has again been presented to the Treasury Department as to whether the practice of employing aliens from Canada at Norfolk, Va., in handling cotton for export is not in violation of the alien contract labor law. The agent reports that while these men un doubtedly go to Norfolk with an under standing that they will be given work, it is almost impossible to obtain proof to that effect It is said at the Treasury Department that the law does not apply to foreigners who come to this country voluntarily in search of work, but only to sneh-as are sent for, or who come under a contract, express or im plied. The great difficulty in the present instance is to prove the existence 01 any sort of a contract or agreement. There are at present over 20 foreigners encaged at Nor folk in handling cotton forEnglishhouses, who are said to be so employed in violation of the law. LOCKED TJP THE JUBY.

Dr. Black said upon his examination he found Mrs. Pettit suffering from acute malarial poisoning with typhoid symptoms. He told Dr. Yeager her case was hopeless, and Yeager gave no hint of his suspicions of poisoning, but agreed with him in his diagnosis of the case. The patient was wholly unconscious, which went to disapprove any theory of strychnine poisoning, which is always at tended by perfect consciousness. Dr. O'Ferral was then demanded by the deiense for cross-examination. A letter was produced by the State which announced that he was to ill too be present. The defense1 then refused to proceed with the caBe until he appeared and stated that as all prepara tions had been made to have him present they had no other witnesses at hand. The conrt accordingly adjourned until Monday, and the jury were locked up in their room until that time. . PB0MHEHT VIS1T0BS ON THE FIELD, Hiddlesborongh's Seml-Annual Sales At tended by Many.

HERBERT WARD'S STORY. HE COMES TO HIS OWN AMD MAJOR BART TELOPS DEFENCES. Stanley's Statements, He Says, Shock Him, and He Denies That Barttelot Exercised Any Excessive Cruelties Toward Those. Under Him The Bear Guard Disaster. London, November 8. The Sunday Times prints an interview with Herbert Ward on the subject of his experience as a member'of Stanley's expedition. Mr. Ward, according to the Times, declared that he never saw Major Barttelot commit any acts reflecting on his honor, or that Stanley himself had not committed. Besides, it was the duty of the other officers to obey Barttelot, and a mutiny would have led to an immediate disaster. ; He could not understand why Stanley should wish him to think badly of a dead man from whom he had parted on friendly terms. He was shocked and grieved that such personalties had been published, and was sorry to think Stanley.indefending him self, should seek to embroil him in a quarrel, lacking every sentiment of chivalry tor the dead and consideration for the living. He admits that Barttelot, for some un known reason, later had a dislike for him, and wrote suspiciously, telling him to keep a strict accountsof all expenditures, but he denies the charge of the theft of brass rods. He explains that he only opened Jameson's box, in the presence oi Bonneyand Troup, to seek for lard. The box contained a lot of odds and ends, but nothing private. Mr. Ward, in summing up, said that, speaking lrom his own knowledge while with the column, Barttelot never exercised excessive cruelty. He saw no steel-spiked rod used as alleged. He justifies the delay in advancing by the absence of the necessary carriers. He admits that the camp was so demoralized by Stanley's absence and lying rumors regarding his fate, that he himself was glad to be quit of it. He says that Stanley, in his opinion, fails to attribute the blame for the disaster to the rear guard where it should directlybe laid namely, against Jameson, the Admin istrator of the Congo State, who neglected to send a steamer up to the camp. He believes the Belgians feared Tippoo Tip and kept their steamers rusting at Stanley Pool. If they had sent on a steamer, everything would have been saved even the lives of Barttelot and Jameson. When they learned lrom himself that they had nothing to fear, they sent a steamer, bnt it was too late. AN INTERPRETER'S CHABGES. Mrs. Jameson Says Her Husband Was Con demned on a False Statement. London, November 8. Mrs. Jameson says that Mr. Stanley's charges against her dead husband are based on the statement of a dismissed Syrian interpreter, who came to England and was examined by the Emin Relief Committee.

Mrs. Jameson lurther says tnat her hus band wrote a letter to the Emitf Relief Committee, in which he gav important in formation respecting the interpreter's charges and their source.

We dislike parading our dis tress before the world, and we know how de moralizing relief is, hut we are not sure of work, we must either starve or make our dis tress known. There are about 5.000 inhabitants In this parish having about otie acre of land per bead. In too best years they have very little comfort, hut now with the potato failure, what have they to depend upon e tcepting public work or charity. Everywhere you go you see the same helpless destitution; surae iu want of decent clothing to cover themselves or chil dren; some scanty nupply of small wet potatoes, which ar the only articles of food. In a few wee Ks even these potatoes cannot be procured. It is as much as any man can do to dig, during tbo day, enough for his family. Hitherto the family was all right, be cause the head was in England. He sent home a few pounds to help bis family; a few pounds to the sbopheeper for provisions. He got, last year, a few ponnds for pis landlord to let him live a little longer in his home. A PATHETIC PICTURE. But the harvest in ICngland is over.

The Bole of the Boad "Which Govern the English in Such Cases., Spire Moments. 1 Tho J'rule of the road" at sea is somewhat intricate, especially for sailing ships. It may be summed up for them, however, by saying that the ship in the most favored position with regard to the wind has to keep out of the way of the other. If two steam ships are meeting end on, or nearly end on, so as to involve the risk of collision, each shall alter her course to starboard that is, shall keep to the right Steamships have always to keep out of the way of sailing ships. All vessels have to carry at night a green light on the starboard and a red light on the port side of the ship, steamers being distinguished by a white light, hung about 20 feet high in front of the foremast. The following lines by Mr. Gray, which are com mitted to memory iby most seamen, show clearly what steamers have to do under dif ferent circumstances: ( TTVO STEAMSHIPS MEETING. Meeting steamships do not dread; When you see three lights ahead, Fort your helm and show your red. two STEAUsnirs passes o. Green to green, or red to red. Perfect safety: go ahead.

The Oldest Ever Struck and a Specimen of the Widow's Mite. "Here is the oldest coin ever made in the world," a "Washington collector said ofle day recently to a reporter in that city. "It was minted about the year 700 B. C. in Sgina, and you will observe that the de sign in high relief represents a tortoise crawling across the face of the piece. You. will not find any date upon it, hecause no coins were dated prior to 400 years ago. The most beautiful coin ever made, in my opinion, is this silver piece of Macedonia, which was current in Macedon, now Con stantinople, COO years before Christ, or 200 years earlier than the time of Alexander the Great. Though its face value is only 53 cents, the coin is worth a price to-day that won Id astonish you. "Here is a specimen of the coinf f small est value ever issued. It is the 'mite,' so called, such as the widow of ;the Bible story dropped into the slot for the poor, though it was her last one. One-fiftieth of a cent it was worth, and you observe that its shape was hexagonal. " Close by you will notice a piece of money worth ?220. It is simply a rectangular piece of gold stamped with the characters of China, from which country it comes. Lumps of gold are used in China for currency of large denominations. THE MUMMY PLANT OF OLD. A Beautiful Growth of Ancient Fame Res cued From the Lost Arts. Amateur Gardener. JChe present mummy pea, which is excit ing so much attention in some quarters, was first introduced into Europe in 1871. An officer in the British army happened during that year to visit the tombs of the Pharaohs, and in the course o-f his explorations to come across some seeds of peas and wheat in the hands of the mummies, which be carefully preserved until he reached Europe. He gave seeds of the pea to a friend in Guern sey, and others elsewhere. The Guernsey friend succeeded in raising plants from the seeds, which flowered very freely. This, then, is reputed to be the origin of the mummy pea, which has found its way into hundreds of gardens during the cur rent year. In habit of growth it djfiers from all of the cultivated peas, the upper part of the stem being broadly fasciated or flattened, and the lower part round and very slender. The flowers, which are white, pink and crimson, are borne at the top of the stem, forming a dense head of blossom extremely pretty to look upon. The upper part, cut ofi with a foot ot the main stem attached, makes a lovely object when placed in a vase, and on that account the mummy pea is sure to be largely grown in the future.

CHARGES AQAIHST HER HDSBAND That He Deceived Her Into Signing Certain Legal Papers. AN TJGLX FAMILY C0NTB0YEKSI PhixadeIiPHIA, ITovember 8. Mrs. Alice Kennedy Hill, who in September last began suit for divorce from her husband, Robert Henry Clay Hill, member of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, and Presi dent of the United States Electric Lighting Company, has begun equity proceedings against her husband and his brokers, Joseph M. Shoemaker & Co. Mrs. Hill accuses her husband of having deceived her into signing powers of attorney to absolutely dispose of $12,000 of Pennsyl vania Bailroad bonds, bygaining her con sent to sign powers of attorney to draw only the interest accruing on the bonds. Upon the affidavit of Mrs. Hill. Judge Pennv- "packer yesterday granted " a preliminary in junction to restrain Mr. mil anajosepn M. Shoemaker & Co., the brokers through whom he speculated, from negotiating the bonds. QEANDDAUOnTEB OF T. S. CLABK. Mrs. Hill's bill in equity, and affidavit, filed in Court of Common Pleas No. 2, in support of the injunction, says that when she married Mr. Hill, on October 24, 1876, she was the heiress of her grandfather, Thomas S. Clark, of Pittsburg, who died in 1867. This fortune she received when she arrived at the age of 21 years. Part of it consisted of ten $1,000 bonds of the consoli dated mortgage loan of the Pennsylvania Bailroad Company, and two $1,000 registered bonds of the mortgage loan of the Steuben ville and Indiana Bailroad Company. All of these bonds are now registered on the books of the Pennsylvania Bailroad Com pany in the name of Mrs. Hill. The bonds themselves had been, and until recently Mrs. Hill believed were deposited in a box in a safe deposit vault ot the Pidelity Insurance, Trust and Safe Deposit Company. Some time in 1889, Mrs. Hill says, upon a day whose date or. month she cannot remember, her husband presented certain papers to her for her signature, "fraudulently alleging that the papers were powers of attorney authorizing him to col lect for her the interest on the bonds when it might become due." GIVEN POTVEB OP ATTOBNET. Belying upon these false and fraudulent statements as to the character of the papers, Mrs. Hill "executed the powers of attor ney." Mrs. Hill says that her husband, by virtue of the fraudulent powers of attorney pledged and hypothecated them with Joseph M. Shoemaker & Co., bankers and stock brokers, as collateral security for margins, which they advanced to him in stock specu lations which they carried for him. In order to make Shoemaker & Co. re sponsible to her, Mrs. Hill continues say ing that she had no interest in these specu lationsand that Shoemaker & Co. "knew that the bonds were her exclusive property." The utmost reticence has been observed as to the divorce case, all the arts of con cealment known to the Philadelphia courts having been resorted to iu order to keep Mrs. Hill's case and her husband's defense from the light THE EQUINOCTIAL SI0BM. Its Existence as a Scientific Pact Attacked and Defended. Sprlugflejd Uepabllcan. A grave attack has been made on the equinoctial storm in the New York Tribune, which insists that scientific records of at least a score of years are necessary to estab lish it as a fact. Nevertheless, the Yankee farmers know, if no others do, that there is such a thine, and they will stick to it. "Senex," writing to the skeptical Trto une, recites the record of Paul's voyage in the Mediterranean, as given in the Acts of the Apostles. His shipwreck was due to the equinoctial storm. When "sailing was now dangerous, because that the fast was now already past," it was alter the day of atonement, September 10, and they were very near the autumnal equinox, and anticipated a great storm. Paul's admoni tion was disregarded; instead of putting in to the inferior harbor of Pair Havens, the captain of the vessel insisted on going further, to the better harbor of Phenice, and being caught in the storm they were driven un and down in the Adriatic Sea and finally wrecked on the Island of Melita, south of Sicily a long voyage, ending in disaster, because the captain of the ship did not believe iu the equinoctial storm. MABE TWAIN'S PB0GBAMME. He Will Refrain Prom literary TTork and Become a Bad Man. New York Commercial Advertiser. Mark Twain told a friend of mine the other day that he intends refraining from literary work for a year to come. He gave no reason for his proposed defection, but simply announced it as a decision from which nothing shall move him. The humor ist's fad, i. e., a typesetting machine, in which he has invested moit of his capital and to which he gives much of his time, may be the secret. He also told my friend that he had an in tention of becoming like the "Bev. Hopsey Porter," of Bap Ballad fame, "a bold, bad man." My friend looked surprised, and the humorist said: "I have been, moderately virtuou3 all my life, and now that I am growing older I am proposing an entire chanze of procedure. I intend Decoming as .'bad as I can, and probably nothing will be too evil lor me to compass. 1 snail begin by denying all requests that come to me, by re fusing to grant favors and breaking all my promises. And I'll end? "Well, I don't know where I'll end, but it will be an'inter esting thing to speculate concerning." Don't Want the Poles. Superintendent Malone, of the new Gov ernment building, objected to the pole3 being put in for the Birmingham Traction Company's line, and quite a war ensned yesterday. Superintendent Brown, of the Department ot Public Safety, told the con tractors to call on him if Mr. Malone inter fered again, but so far the Superintendent is ahead. THE BIVEBNEWS.

"When Arraigned in Conrt He Was Dressed ln.Clerical Black Brans Pleads Guilty He Says He Took a Drink Too Many. ISFZCtAI. TrLIOEAU TO THB DISrATCn.1 New Yobk, November 8. Henry Krull Bruns, lately pastor of St John's German Catholic Church of New Brunswick, N. J-., who was arrested on Friday night charged with begging on the street, was taken to Yorkville Police Court this morning. Jus tice McMahon remanded him for examina tion. The complaint upon which Policeman Burns arrested the priest was made by James H. Murray, of 231 East Thirty seventh street Mr. Murray says that Bruns asked him for 25 cents for the orphans of St Joseph's Home. At the station house $12 66 was found on his person. "WJn arraigned in court the priest was dressed in clerical black. Gold-bowed spec tacles rested upon his nose. He admitted the trnth of the charge of begging made against him, bnt said that the only orphan he mentioned was himself. He had met several ot his late parishioners from New Brunswick and had taken a drink or two too many. Later in the day The Dispatch representative received a note, signed Miss A. Black, requesting that a reporter be sent immediately to her as she had something to tell abuut Bruns. He was introduced to "Lilly," a young girl, rather good looking and styiishly dressed, who proceeded to tell a story of al leged persecution that the prie3t had suffer ed at the hands of jealous Catholics. She gave her name as Lillian Dean. Bruns is a native of Germany and 41 years old. He is highly edncated, speaking fluently, it is said, a dozen languages. Sev eral years ago he wa3 made pastor ot St. John's, in New Brunswick. He continually got into difficulties with his congregation. He resigned from this charge last spring. HABION CBAWFOED'S HABITS. How the Novelist Manages to Do So Sluch Without Weakening. HewtYork Commercial Advertiser. Marion Crawford, is in many respects a literary wonder. Scarcely have the leaves of one book.become dry from the press before another story by him is announced and pub lished. Contrary to the history ot many an other prolific writer, Crawford's books show no indication of weakening power. He gives his quiet mode of living as the reason of his ability to write much and do it well. He allows no visitors or other business to disturb him when engaged on a story, and he rarely stops until he reaches the finish, taking up the work each day with clock-like regularity. He is fond of traveling, and at the com pletion of each story be generally starts on some journey, gathering material for his next novel. In this way, he works and plays by turns. He is an excellent lin guist, speaking German, Erench and Ital ian, and reads Turkish, Latin, Greek and even Arabic. "Women consider the author a handsome man. His height is almost towering, and his broad shoulders give him an air of solidity. He has a large head, but remarkably small leet A profusion of brown hair covers his head, and a mus tache and beard almost hide a very hand some mouth. The novelist is now 36 year3 of age. LOVE LIVES LONG. Japanese Have an Abelard and Helolse Story All Their Own. . Edwin Arnold In London Telegraph. 1 A love story, from his retreat in Japan, will outlive the memory of long wars and great princes. There exists a proof of this in a little village, which I recently visited, not, far from Tokio. The village is named Meguro, and lies about three miles from the capital amid bamboo groves and clumps of wild camellias on the banks of a stream. Here lies buried, near the temple of Pndo-Sama-Shirai Gom pachi and Ko-Murasaki, his beautiful mistress. And although it is 230 years since these lovers were laid there together under the bamboos their memory remains still as green as the leaves that flutter above them. Everybody hereabout knows their story; everyone can relate it to you with the minutest particulars; everyone sooner or later repairs to their grave to burn a stick of incense there, and afterward to sit in the tea-house by the pool of white lotus and feed the tame carp with pink and green biscuits while meditating each in his own way upon what Shakespeare says: Golden boys and girls all must Consign to this, and come to dust IHPOBTANT MEAT BUSINESS. Chicago Packers Hold a Meeting; and Ad vance the Prices of Canned Goods. Chicago, November 8. The Chicago packers oi canned meats held an important meeting this afternoon. All the large packers "rere represented, the object being to. consider some action to be taken in view of the increased du ties on tin. The meeting was also for the purpose of disenssing the possibility of re moving the stock yards and plants of tbe various packing houses. It was decided to advance canned meats a quarter of a cent a pound, such advance being declared neces sary to cover tte additional cost ot the tin under the new tariff schedule. After the meeting P. L. Armour, in an interview, confirmed the report that the yards would be removed. It bad been shown, he said, to be leasible to establish at a profit new and greatly improved yards and packing houses with better facilities for handling stock and atess cost The present yards, he added, will be valuable for other purposes. ONLY LOVING THEM. A Strange Street Scene Showing theWholo World is Kin. Tooth's Companion. A baby carriage stood in front of a small shop. In it slept a pretty, dimpled baby. A drowsy puppy lay on the pillow, its black nose close to the baby's cheek. By the car riage stood a ragged little waif, dirty, with scarcely enough clothes for decency. She stroked in tnrn the baby and the puppy. A lady, passing by, noticed tbe strange picture the beautiful babr, the cunning little dog, the ragged child. The baby's mother was in the shop. "Are you caring for these?" said the lady to the waif. A wonderful smile lit up the dirty little face! "No, please, ma'am, I'm only loving them." Section Booms the Hat Trade. Springfield ttepablican.C It is rumored that Alderman Murphy has concluded to start a hat factory as the most economical way of settling election bets. Orders for new stovepipes came in from him on the furnishing dealers yesterday like bank checks into a clearing honse. Both Lawyer Carroll and J. H. Clone have Murphy hats, but the ex-city marshal con cluded to wait a day and tee how Colonel Carroll's tile "took with the crowd." When a group on the sidewalk gave three cheers lor the wearer last nizht, Mr. Clune de cided he would wait till Sunday. ' Determined to Vote. Kochester Union.) An amusing incident of the recent elec tion has not been heretofore published and may be related now. A citizen started to vote at the Third district of the Sixteenth ward. When he had his tickets and wished to go in a booth he did not know how o get in. He tried to open the door at the hinges, but conld not and thenweated great laugh ter by crawling on 'his hands and knees under the door into the booth.

A special feature of the occasion will he the dedica tion of the Washington Monument, erected, by the Allegheny Councils in the west park, which will take place during the day. The General Committee having charge of the arrangements for the demonstration held its first meeting last night in the Moorhead building, Grant street. Sixty-two conncils in "Western Pennsylvania were represented by one delegate from each. The cointnittea was called to order by George B.

The first matter considered wjs the day upon which the parade is to be held, as the 22d of February falls on Sunday next year. Councils had been re quested to instruct their representatives to vote for either Saturday or Monday After half an honr's discussion, it was de-f cided to parade on the day named by Presi dent Harrison as the legal holiday. It ia expected that will be Monday, the 23d. It was decided to invite every council ia the "United States to participate, owinjj to the importance of the occasion, and while it is not thought all oi the in vitations will be accepted, it is known that the parade will include many councils from surrounding States. A communica tion was read from Cleveland City Council, containing tho information that they wera preparing to come, and a number of other councils iu Ohio and "West Yirzinia are) known to be making arrangements to come. An invitation was extended to the Senior Order to participate, as heretofore, and the) privilege of being represented on the Gen eral Committee was given to the Uniformed 1 liank, which his never been done hereto fore.

Accord ing to a precedent established several years ago, of selecting the chief marshal alternately from Alle gheny, Pittsburg and the Southside, the Commander is to come from tbe latter this year. Tbe candidates are T. J. Morley, L. L. Davis and Heber McDowell. It is said Morley's chances for success are tha best The election will take place Satur day evening, December C. The General Committee will meet again in two weeks. Chairman Kerr stated after tbe meeting adjourned that he confidently expected the coming demonstration to be, not only tha largest held by the Mechanics, but one of tha largest ever held in the city. He thinks it is"1 no wild estimate to say that 20,000 men will be in line. The dedication of the monument, of course, will be the important .feature. The preparations for it will be leit to the Monument Committee and the details have not been arranged yet. FORRESTERS' PESirSTIV vasxa asd "West Yib. oijtia : Eaib, Except?
