Clevela-vd, July IX The, avaunt couriers of the Democratic State Convention, which will bo held in this city to-morrow and Wednesday are already In the field, belli? en hand early to get "tho lay of the land," and to hustle for their respective candi dates. All other candidates for places on the Stato ticket are overshadowed by the contest foi Governor. Campbell will surely be nominated on the first ballot unless something unforseen happens between this end A ednesday morning. The three can didates are Goernor James E. Campbell, of Butler county: Lawrcnco T Ncal, of Ross, end Virgil P. Kline, of CuyShoga. This city lithe home of tho latter gentleman, and there is a gicat deal of woik being done here for him, both openly and secretly. When the Campbell men on the State Central Committee oted for this place for holding the Stato Convention it w as under tood that Kline -w as not a candidate. So the member from this district announced. 3lad it been known that ho wasm the race tho convention -would undoubtedly have fceenheldat Columbus, the central part of Ohio. There are 700 delegates in the con vention and it looks at present as if Gover nor Campbell would have 000 of them, Xeal 150 and Kline 50. Campbell nas o Misgivings. Just before The Dispatch correspondent Jeft Columbus he asked Governor Campbell how man tes he claimed on the first ballot. He replied: "Well, now, young man, that depends on how many candidates there ore. If Xeal, Kline and your humble servant etc entered in tho lace, I belle e that I will ha ve f50 of the otes .should Kline's name not be ireented,I willhavo more than that. There w ill not be more than one ballot. 1 am confident of the nomination on tho first hallot." Notwithstanding the Governor's confident tone, the opposition are makinga hard fight, and lineal cannot be nominated, there iB talk of a compromise condidate, some of the delegates say mg that the light betw een the two; factions of Campbell and Xeal has prown so bitter that a third, or compro mise candidate, should bo nominated in order to secure victory in Xovember. Hon. William A. Lynch, ol Canton (the home of UcKinley), is spoken of. He i notas well hiiran as 31cKmle . but is a thousand times "better law r Hon. .lames A, SIcMahon, of Dayton, i- also mentioned, hut he says he is "not a dark horse, nor awhile hoise." Eflort to Ileal the Itreach. A conference of prominent Democrats is fpoken of for tomorrow, in order to see uhat can bo done to heal tho breach made "by the Catnpbell-Xeal fight, and to find out what is best for the success of the Demo cratic party. The Campbell men look on th! i itb suspicion, and say that in all of the & counties of ohm a light wasmade lordele pates and lint tho Campbell men w on once and they do not propose to thro w aw ay a sore thing for an uncertain one. Four Ohio Congressmen were interviewed J The Disr,Tcn correspondent and here is what they say: ongressman Owens Campbell will be and ougtix to be the nominee of the party.

Old Aujrlaizc, where I hail fiom, is divided, and will gi o Campbell four and Ncal thtee. Up our way we may often light each other be fore the nomination, bat after it is over wo will all be Campbell men. The Governor Trill surely be nominated. Congressman -elect Dungan Our section of tne Slato is divided. .Tn"kson county is three for Meal and t o lor Campbell For a compromise candidate wo would be solid. In tho interest of nannony, Campbell and Steal ought to both w ithdraw . Ai. Carlisle for Chairman. Hon. James I..Xeal,the ex-Chairmanoftho Democratic Mate Executive Committoe, the man who successfully managed Governor Campbell's campaign in 18"), is here work 5ns hard for his old friend and fellow-towns-anan. Xcil is:hiewd, le el headed politi cian nndso modest m all he docs that it is not proclaimed from the housetops, n Camp liell is nominated he can thank Xcal torn jjTeat shaioot the work done in his behalf. Mr. Xcal does rot wish to take tho Chair jnansnip of the .M.ate txecutnc Committee this year, and in all piobability Al Carlisle, of Tuscarawas county, -will be chosen. The position will boa hard one this year, for, as Governor Campbell says, "not only will State issues enter into this campaign, Imt it will ho a Stato election fought on a national issue. Should McKinley win, in tho Very nature of things ptoU-Ctionwillbe the thibliolelh ol the Republican party in It92. Should I defeat him (and I am going to do to by a handsome majority) tariff reform will be inscribed on our banners next year 3n a buttle alre-idy won before we begin the ilgbt. It is for the people to say in Xovem her whether they are in favor of a robber tunffornot." Orators oftheOccasian. tiencral Michael Ryan, of Cincinnati, will most likely put Campbell's name to tho Con vention, and it will bo seconded by Hon. Walker Ritchie, of Lima, benator IJrlce's lirst lieutenant Hon. Frank Hurdwill do 11 e honors lor Hon. Law rencc K. Xeal, w hile Judge Biandin w ill sing the praises of Virgd 1'. Klme. In speaking of Xeal's candidacy to-day a Democrat, who is high in the councils of his party, said: "3Ir. Xcal, Uy tho course he has been pursuing, has injured his influence with his party to suchau extentthathe can never regain it. After this week he will be politi CAMP HASH k cally aead. Some time ago Mr. Xeal was the logical Democratic candidate for the nomi- Yin -4nn fri TTnt nrl Cfntao Canstni l.t4- irTt? all that has passed. Air. Xeal is ostensibly a lanner, ana oe worn a do popular vun iuo Alliance men. "Th-Q if nn nnlf in Tr.Tr nnfn.nn triot flirt farmers will hold the balance of power in mo next legislature, iney vim nave i least two members in the Senate and several in the House. There w ill bo others in the House who will be pledged to vote for all measures advocated by tho farmers. Taking all this into consideration, Jlr. Xeal's chances ought to be good, but the frsends of Governor Campbell will oppose anymovo that ho may make, and there will be an other tombstone erected In the political graveyard." Kline Willing to Accept. Major Armstrong, of this city, has a letter from Virgil P. Kline, written just before ho left for Europe last Saturday, saying that while ho was not a candidate for Governor, ho would, accept tho nomination if gi en him. Governor Campbell will arrive in this city at noon to-morrow. The Thurman Club, 600 strong, accompanied by two bands and a glee club, will be on this train from Colum bus. The Jackson Club, also from the capi tal city, will send 500 men here, and these L100 w 111 all work for Campbell. Cincinnati, with its 59 delegates and a very large array of workers, will bo hero working against Governor Campbell's renoinlnatiou, but from piesent indications they will not provo any moio successful than the Indian who at tempted to lassoo an engine on the Pacific Railroad. There is a great deal of feeling over the fact that the Chairman of the Central State Committoe, Xorton, telegraphed that he would tako charge of all tickets to the State Con ention. "Well, w o guess not," said tho other member of the committee. The Xeal men say that Xorton is trying to pack the convention In Campbell's interest. Kline's Strength Is Limited. It is not thought that Kline will develop much strength outsido of this (Cuyahoga) county. Ho will receive II votes heic. For Attorney General, John W. Canary, of Wood county, and State Senator Corcoran aio be ing considered. The former has been a promising candidate for several weeks, while the latter tas only recently sprung for the place. Botn gentlemen are well Qualified lor the rjositiou. Ex-County Auditors T. E. Peckenpaugh, of Wayne, and Daniel Kunkel, of Defiance, and Hon. Willian Maize, of Franklin county, aro possibilities for the nomination for Auditor of State, and others are likely to develop within the next 21 hours. C. F. Ackerman, of Mansfield, seems to have the call for the Trcasurershlp nomination since the declina tion of Hon. W. W. Armstrong, of this city, but it is not unlikely that be may find sev eral gentlemen contesting for the place be fore the time arrives for his name to be pre sented to tho convention. There is some talk of John Q. A. Smith in connection w ith this nomination. Prof. C. C. Miller, the pres eut (state Commissioner of Common Schools, is one of the men having a sure thing. His nomination by acclamation is not questioned by any one, noris his fitness for the position doubted. Little Contest Over Other Offices. The other offices to bo filled will un questionably be sought after by competent Democrats, but there is as vet little contest for the places. Besides the offices mentioned above, candidates aro to be nominated for Supreme Judge, Member of the Board of Public Woiks and Food and Dairy Com missioner. Judge Hutchins, of Cleveland, is looming up in connection with the nomi nation for Supreme Judge. Should Canary be nominated on the ticket -with Campbell, the Democrats will have a regular menagerie in Ohio "the only perfect aggregation" while the Republicans have a white elephant only. Campbell's headquarters at the Hollenden is where the big crowds are, whi e Xeal's quarters at the Weddell arenotso extensive. It is a remarkable fact that tho fight for the Democratic nomination for Governor is not half so funny to the Republicans as it was a month ago. A silly story is being circulated for effect to-night that Campbell will withdraw, if nominated, in lavor of John A. SIcMahon, of Dayton. The Xeal men claim that if campDeu is nominated onio will glvo Mc Kinley 25,000 majority, and that Cincinnati w 111 go at least 10,000 Republican. Tactics of the Opposition. It now looks as though the anti-Camphell delegates, when nominations are declared in order on Wednesday, will ask for an in formal ballot, but the Governor's friends will oppose this, and demand business and a formal ballot. In this event Campbell will be found before the roll is closed to have three fifths of the votes of the conven tion. But the result will not be announced without many changes. Tho Xeal men it is understood, with the consentof their leader, desert their candidate and go solidly to Kline, in the hope of creating a stampede of lukew arm Campbell delegates to the Cuya hoga county candidate and insuring his nomination. It the logic of tho situation does not hap pen to suggest Mr. Kline as the most availa ble candidate, the strength of the opposition mav be thrown to either General John A. McMahon, of Dayton, or Hon. Tom L. Johnson, the free trade Congressman of Cleveland. Despite all these clever political maneuvers, however, the indications aro that the Campbell phalanx will remain prac tically unbroken and that the Governor will be icnominated on the first ballot. The Platform to Be Adopted. Tho platform upon which the coming bat tle is to be waged is the subject of much dis cussion, and Chairman X'ortou, of the State Central Committee, and other prominent politicians of the State have held several conferences on the subject. It has been de cided that tho party will stand by its posi tion of a year ago on all leading issues. The Campbell administration will be commended and the Harrison administration and the Fifty-first Congress denounced for profligacy and extravagance. The tariff plank.it is understood, will be as follows: "e demand the reduction of tariff taxes and we -u ill continue tho battle for tariff reform until tho cause of the people is triumphant. All money taken by law from the people should go into the public Treas ury. Tariff taxes should be for ieenue only. All so-called protective tariff taxes aie dishonest, wasteful and corrupting. They plunder the masses to enrich the few. They hao crippled agricultuie, retarded manufacturing, created trusts, destroyed commeice and corrupted our law-makers. We denounco tho McKinley tariff law. passed by the Billion Dollar Congress as an iniquitous and oppressive measure and nn iniury totho American farmorand laborer." The pirtywill also congratulate itself on the passage ot the recent Australian ballot t-vstem, but upon the financial question there w ill be a division of sentiment. While the fieo coinage sentiment is strong, there is a lii rlj opposition to it, and many conserva tive Democrats aie urging that the financial question be let alone. BUCKS COUNTY REPUBLICANS. A Set of Quay-Gilkeson Delegates Elected to the Stato Convention. ISrECUL TELK5P.AM TO THE DISPATCH. DovirsTOwy, Pa., July 13. The Bucks County Con ention, to elect delegates to the State Republican Convention in Harrisburg on August 13, was held here to-day. Tho delegates elected under tho new rules adopt ed at the last meeting of tho standing com mittee may bo put down to appear when wanted as Quay-Giikeson men, and mutter ings loud and deep are heard on every side as to how utterly futile were the remedies which were supposed to cure the defects in nominating conventions. When tho nomi nations were ma de it was declared by thoso on the outside that there wonld be no use to offer lesistanco to the me ltablc, and no op position was made.

President Polk, of the Alliance, Warns Southern Democrats to Go Slow. Washikqtojs-, July 13. Colonel L. L. Polk, President of tho Xational Farmers' Alliance, has arrived here fresh from a series of meet ings in Xorth Carolina, whete he and Con gressman Tom Watson, of Georgia, havo been exerting their eloquence to stir up en thusiasm in favor of the Alliance. It is said that Colonel Polk's speeches squinted toward the formation of a third party in tho South. In an interview published here to day, ho said when asked whether thero will be a third ticket In the Presidental race: "I will give you a straight answer. So far as tho Xorthwest is concerned the third party has come to stay; it will have a ticket In tho field that will sweep Kansas, Xorth and South Dakota, Xebraska and your States. In tho South I don't know what will be done, but I say in all sincerity, that if the South ern Democratic leaders do not put an end to their intolerance, proscription and denunci ation of our order and its principles there will bo a third ticket in the South also. There isagreat deal of human nature among Alliance men. They have stood a good deal from Democratic leaders, but are weary and mav turn on their detractors." Colonel Polk denies with a good deal of earnestness the current reports that the Al liance is going to pieces in Kansas and that its membei swill go back to the Kepublican party. "I want to tell," ho says, "that such notions are absurd. In Kansas alone to-day iv e nave gained from 15,000 to 20,000 members since the adoption of the California plat form. Does that look like losing ground? Wo are growing stronger than ever and are thoroughly united."

' A ST0ET TO MAZE FIFTH AYENUE HOWL SPECIAL TBLEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, Julv 13. When Mis. Gertrude Bhlnelander Waldo and Colonel Charles 31. Schieffolln were children, which was not to day, they were great friends. As the two grow older they drifted apart, travel ing in different parts of tho world and forming different circles of ac quaintances. Miss Rhinolander married Mr. Waldo. Mr. Schieffelin also married. Mrs. Waldo's husband died.leaving her with a little son and a comfortable fortune. 3Ir. Schieffelin became colonel of a militia regiment, a beau in Xew York society, and a figure at tho clubs, and especially at tho Union Club. Some how or other things didn't go well, and his money and his wifo's mcaey began to dwindle. Then he and his wife became strangers, and CoTf. lei Schieffelin had the children to support. VHo is still young for a man. He and 3Irs. Waldo met again in 18S5. After tno renewed friendship had lasted a little more than a year it camo suddenly to an end. A suit, which will be contested in tho Supreme Court, explains to the world tho reason for this tailing out. Mrs. Waldo has made a long affidavit, setting forth her grievances against the Colonel. A Woman and Her Money. She says: "In 18S5 he camo to mo dnd asked to renew our acquaintance. He had been unfortunate in his marital relations, divorced, and requested the loan of some money to pay hi3 children's board and. for other purposes." Although Mrs. Waldo is well-to-do sho has tho vaguest no tions of business. She savs that "sno and Colonel Schiefielin had long talks about her business affairs, as a matter of friendly confidence. She says he told her that, being a member of the Union Club, ho had tho con fidence of many big operators in stocksand that he could make somo money for b?v by buying stocks. On Xovember 11, 1SS3, sho gave him $2,000 to invest in Erie. Sho gave him $3,000 more for investment in Pacific Mail. 31rs. Waldo tells of the next interview in tho folio wing way: "Tfcnext time I saw the defendant I demanded my certificates, whereupon ho said: 'It fi un fortunate, hut I got my money 1 ixed up with yours somehow. You ee, it looks bad for a woman to be seen dabbling in stocks too much; so I bought in some in my cousin George's ltime. Of course, I shall have them transfern'd to you also. 3Ieantime I want more money, as the market Is a fine one.' Walked Into Her Affections. "I told him ho should have no more until he brought mo the papers. He assured mo the papers were all right, and as securo as if they -were kept in my bureau drawer." Finally he so w rought upon her that she gave him a check for $4,000. He had no sooner got it into his pocketbook than he suggested a new way of investing it. Tho widow pro tested, wept a little, reproached a good deal, then, according to her narrative, sho cried out: "Give mo my $4,000." "I'll serve you in spite of yourself," said the Colonel. "I'll stop payment on tho check. Ill ex pose you," said Mrs. Waldo. "Then," continued 3Irs. Waldo, "he took mo out for a w alk. Wo talked it all over. We walked until 11 o'clock. Colonel Schieffelin confessed at last that tho money was all wiped out, that he had loi it all in margins. There was not a ceat left of the $12,291 1 had advanced." So Mr. Waldo brought suit for the $12,294 and costs. Colonel Schieffelin did not deny getting tbiifc)ney, but simply said hehad invested it lor her in margins and that ho had lost it, and really owed her nothing! BLAINE IMPROVING. He Denies Many Reports and Shows Other Signs of Vigorous Health. rSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Portland, July 13. A most Interesting and important contribution to the fast accumulating Blaine literature is an inter view which the editor of the Express of this city, Mr. Dudley M. Helman, had with the Secretary of State at Bar Harbor to-day and which can be taken as truthful. Said Mr. Blaino "I am taking no medicine and have not since I came to Bar Harbor. I drivo about and take long walks daily and my vacation has done me a world of good. The only tonics I take are my drives, and my outdoor life, and they are amply sufficient. I regret these reports, which are entirely without foundation and wholly unauthor ized or warranted. These reports and re ported interviews are entirely false, but it is useless for me to deny them. You aro tho only newspaper representative I have seen since I came to Bar Harbor. I havo talked with no one else." 3Ir. Blaine was out driving at G this after noon in an open carriage. Ho was aiuiu.aia; hid a tiiiD, aao aao tiuo UCC11 doing occasionally for several days. His physician, Dr. J. Madison Taj lor, said to-night: Mr. Blaine is improving very rapidly. Within a few days he has seemed to take a fresh hold upon life and health. He has a strong constitution and no one who sees him can fail to notice a rapid improvement almost daily." Those near the Secretary feel confident that he will return to Washington in the fall a well man, and able to enter into active political life. HAMLIN'S BITTEB BEPLY. He Blamed Massachusetts Republicans for Not Getting a Second Term. TSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Boston, July 13. The following incident in connection with the controversy as to the reason why Hannibal Hamlin was not re nominated is related by a well-known gen tleman who was once prominent in political affairs. He says: "Some time in the summer of 1S66, 1 think, I took the Penobscot boat at Rockland for Boston. Among tho nassengers was Governor Hamlin, as we Slaine men used to call him. I was acquainted with him in Maine, and he was Collector of the Port at Boston while I was a Custom House storekeeper. Ho shook me cordially by the hand, and after a little talk about President Johnson and his policy, Mr. Hamlin de nounced Johnson roundly, and said he should resign, and that very soon. "Just then Charles W. Slack, editor of the Commonwealth, stepped up, addiessed Mr. Hanilin, and also said: 'I Tvas sorry, Gov ernor, that you were not renominated.' 'I should have been,' was the immediate teply, 'only for the treachery of you and your delegation. Massachusetts Republicans have no right to complain of the present state 01 things, for, had they stood by me, I should have been renominated.' Mr. Slack's reply was simply an evasion, and then en sued talk about Greeley and about concili ating the South and keeping the border States in line." CAUGHT IN THE ACT. A Sloop Seized With Chinamen for the United States on Board. Ottawa, Oitt., July 13. The Collector of Customs at Victoria reports tho seizuro of the sloop Flora, of Seattle, AVash.. for ne glecting to report Inward. A fine of $400 was imposed. Two customs officers located the vessel in a sheltered cove a few miles from Victoria. There appeared to be no one on board the craft, which was lying some 100 yards off shore. Tho officers called out and a man appeared on deck and asked what was wanted. They informed him that they would like to see him, and he pulled toward the shoie in a skiff. When within 20 feet of the beach he seemed to become possessed with a spirit of caution and demanded their business. When he learned they wero enstoms offlceis, ho started to pull quickly back to his vessel, but altered his mind v. hen theofficcis co ered him with their revolvers, They com manded him to row ashoie, and compelled tho man to pull them out to the sloop which they found to be a smuggler with a load of Chinese Intended for thn. United States. There were ten Chinamen in the hold and six more on shore ready to embark. The Cap- I tain, who gavo his name as Alfred Seeter man, said ho was about to tako 18 Chinamen Into tho United States. He was given 30 days in which to pay the fine, at the end of which time if the fine is not paid the vessel will bo confiscated and sold to-the highest Didder. BIG DAY FOR VETERANS.

An un w ary inhalation blew the leathery thing into his throat and he bieathcd in an irritating quantity of the powder which was swallowed. Violent paroxysms of coughing resulted.

AGENTS AEE COMING OVER SOON. The Merchants Alone Will Spend Over a Million Dollars. NOTABIE PERSONAGES ARE Ef CHARGE Loudon, July 13 The Times to-day, In a long article on the World's Fair, reviews the growth of the importance of Chicago, and says that it is not doubted that tho ex hibition will, in many respects, surpass all exhibitions previously held. Concerning the advantages to English ex hibitors, the Times says that "while it Is not doubted that no advantage can accrue to some traders, it must bo remembered thatr tho exhibition is likely to attract visitors from many countries, including China, Japan, South America and Australia and from many markets in which American and English manufacturers aro now.or soon may be, in competition, while even In America itself the, perhaps, only temporary exis tence of higli import duties may not indnco the wealthier portions of the community to deny themselves the luxury of English man ufactures in those departments in which England stands without rival. The more they see the wares England can produce, the more certain they are to become impa tient at the system which loads these wares with almost prohibitory duties." Tho Times enumerates tho disadvantages arising from the distanco of Chicago from England.the high cost of labor In the United States and tho alien labor act, but it says it may at least bo hopefully remembered that the Government has supremo control of the Exhibition, and that there will be therefore ample time and willingness to set aside for a time an impeaimenis wnicn mignt mreaien to diminish the success of the fair. The Result Will Bo a Great Success. The enormous rcsomces of the United States will be used to support what has now become a national enterprise. Tho result can hardly fall to bo commensurate with the magnitudo of tho mean3 .which will be employed. It has been decided that the Royal Com mission to represent Great Britain at tho World's Fair will be composed of the Coun cil of the Society of Arts, which carries with it the prestige of having tho Prince of Wales as it3 President, aud Sir Richard Webster, tho Attorney General, as its Chair man. The Council contains many members who are well qualified to insure a successful issue. The appointment of tho Council as a Commission also implies that Sir Henry Wood will be Its Secretary- The Council is a fluctuating body, some of its members retiring annually, when others are elected to fill the vacancies caused by their retirement. The Royal Commission has received a grant" of $125,000 which 13 less in amount than any previous grant mado for a similar purpose. The willingness of the Conncil to accept this small sum is due to the experience gained at the Paris Expo sition, for which the Government made no grant. The Council is confident of having sufficient mnds to insure tho success of tho British exhibit, At a meeting of the Council of tho Society of Arts, held this afternoon, the decision of the Government to grant the sum of $125,000 to tho Royal Commission having in charge the details of the representation of Great Britain at the Chicago World's Fair was offi cially announced. The Grant Will Cover Expenses Only. In an interview on tho subject of the Gov ernment's grant, Sir Henry Wood, Secretary of tho Society of Arts, and, consequently, Seoretary of tho Royal Commission for the World's Fair, said that the grant was ex pected solely to cover the exponses of the Commission. The British merchants, he added, who wore represented at the recent exhibition, spent $750,000 in exhibiting, and thero was every reasou to supposo that, con sidering trade between Great Britain and the United States, tho British exhibitors who will bo represented at Chicago in 1S93 will contribute at least $1,000,000 tow ard the expense of tho exhibit. Mr. Robert S. McCormick, the United States Commissioner for tho World's Fair, and all the other friends of the Fair in this city, are pleased with the decision which places the management of the British exhibit in the hands of Sir Henry Wood, Mr. James Dredge and Sir Phillip Cunllffe Owen, who have heen foremost in working in the inter ests of the success of the Chicago World's Fair. In addition, the Council of the Society of Arts includes among a host of notabilities the Duke of Edinburgh.the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, and the Duke of Abercorn. Sir Philip Cunllffe Owen was Secretary of tho Roal Commission in charge of the British 'exhibit at the Paris exhibition of 1978, at the exposition at Vienna in 1874, the British Commissioner to Phila delphia Centennial in 1876, and of the Indian and Colonial Exhibition in 1885. He Is considered to be the greatest au thority on exhibitions. Also on tho Royal Commission for the Chicago Fair are Sir Frederick Bramwell.Chairman of the Inven tions Exhibition held in London in 18S5; Sir Edward Birkebeck, Chairman of the Fisher ies Exhibition held in this city, Sir Francis Dillon Bell, the Agent General in England for New Zealand and at the samo time Speaker of the New Zealand House of Rep resentatives, and Captain Sir Charles Doug las Galton, K. C. B., another member of the Paris Commission and a gentleman who hns held such positions as of Inspector of Rail ways, Secretary to the Railway Department, Assistant Inspector General of Fortifica tions, Assistant Under Secretary for War and Director of Works and Buildings. Sir Henry Wood and James Dredge go to Chi cago in September next in order to survey and report upon the field open to British exhibitors. CONGREGATIONAL COUNCIL. Resolutions Regretting the Illness of Rev. Sir. Spurgeon Adopted. London, July 13. At the Congregational Council to-day the Rev. Robert Williams Dale, M. D., D. D., LL.D., presiding, Dr. Dale, during the course of his address of welcome, said that numbers of the delegates had never seen each other's faces, but they were not Btrangers to each other. As they came together in the name of the Cross, they were conscious of their kinship. They had the samo faith and tho samo hope, common sorrows and common joys. Subsequently the Rev. Dr. Bevan, of Slelbourne, Australia, was elected President, and the Rev. Di. Northrup, of Minnesota; the Rev. Dr. A. II. Quint, ot Boston, Mass., and the Rev. Dr. Rogers, of London, wero elected Vice Presi dents. Dr. Dalo in a sympathetic speech referred to the illness of "the Rev. Charles H. Spur geon. Among other things Dr. Dale said: "It is not time and let us hope tho time is far distant to speak at length upon 3Ir. Spurgeon'sgicat qualities and conspicuous services. Wo simply desiie to tell him ho w earnestly wo enticat God to arrest tlio pi ogress of his disease and to restoro him to health." Dr. Dale then moved that the Secietarics bo instructed to draw up on k linl f of tho council a 1 esolution to tho abo e effect, and to take it to Mr. Spurgeon's fam ily. The Rev. Dr. Palmer, of Bridgeport, Conn., seconded the lcsolution, which was supported by Dr. Noble, of Chicago: Dr. Gor mni, of Melbourne, and Dr. Jarvie. of Mel bourne. The resolution was unanimously carried. SHOT AT PRESIDENT CARN0T. An Insane aian's Act During Public Cere monies at Paris. Paris, .Inly 13. There was considerable ex citement to-day throughout Paris caused by the report that President Carnot had been shot. The rumor proved, upon investiga tion, to bo untrue, but thero was foundation for the report. The President was present to-day at the ceremonies of tho official open ing of a new thoroughfare, the Avenue De La Kepublique, where he received an en thusiastic welcome. Suddenly a man, wild eyed and making insane gestures, forced his way thiough the crowd and pushed past the soldiers on duty about the spot where tho ceremonies were taking place. This man rushed up to the carriage in which the Pres ident had dri en up to the new avenue, and fired a pistol at M. Carnot. As he did so the man shouted: "I'll provo that theie are more BastUes to be demolished." President Carnot was undoubtedly alarmed at what appeared to bo a direct at tempt upon his life, but he was unhurt and soon regained his entire presence of mind. Tho man who fired the shot was promptly read it. arrested by tho police and such was the anger of the crowd present that the officers had the greatest difficulty in protecting their prisoner from becoming the victim of popu lar fury which he had excited. As it was, it required the service of a strong force of police to escort the man in safoty to the nearest police station. Upon arrival there the man's examination soon disclosed the fact that he was a madman and that he had Just been released from confinement in a lunatic asylum. WILLIAM'S FAREWELL. EMBRACED BY THE QUEEN AND CHEEKED OX HIS DEPARTURE He Starts on nis Way to Scotland and the Empress Goes to Felllx Stowe Cordial Sentiments Expressed at the. Partlnj- Two Newly-Made Knights. LosDoif, July 13. The Emperor William this morning rode throngh the most inter esting parts of Hatfield Park, Lord Salisbury having issued orders to tho effect that every part, of tho park was to bo thrown open in order to enable the Emperor to roam in any direction ho desired. Upon the Emperor's return to Hatfield House a farewell luncheon was served in tho Marble Hall, All the Ambassadors and Ministers and their wives and 3Ir. and 3Irs. Joseph Chamberlain weie present. It is reported that the Emperor has In vited the Prince and Princess of Wales to visit Germany in full state during the com in? autumn, and that the Prince and Princess have, with the consent of Queen Victoria, accepted the invitation. Tho Emperor has presented Lord Salis bury with a splendid Dresden clock, mado especially for the British Premier. The an nouncement is made that the Bt. Hon. Jo seph Savery, Lord Mayor of London; will shortly be knighted by the Queen, in recog nition of his gorgeous entertainment of the German Emperor at the Guildhall. It is also stated that Mr. Har ris, the theatrical manager, will be elevated to tho dignity of a knighthood, he having been lucky enough to number tho Emperor and party among the occupants of his boxes, instead of some other equally able but less fortunate impressano. In the case of savery the dignity was a foregone conclusion, but to Harris his elevation comes like the fulfillment of a dream. Long ago. it is said, his hopes wero set upon the at tainment of the title "Sir," and he has sev eral times seen it glide away from him when it seemed almost won. After luncheon the Emperor bade, farewell to Lord Salisbury and to the latter's guests declaring that ho was highly pleased with his visit, and left Hatfield House for Windsor Castle In order to hid adieu to the Queen. Upon his arrival at Windsor the Emperor was met by an escort of the Life Guards, who conducted him to the castle. The Queen met the Imperial traveler at the en trance to her private apartments. Her 3Iaj esty warmly embraced her distinguished grandson, who remained an hour in conver sation with her. At the expiration of that time the Emperor took leave of Her 3Iaj esty. The parting seemed to show that the most cordial sentiments animated both Their Majesties. After leaving Windsor Castle the Emperor returned to London. Tlio Empress of Germany to-day started for Fellix Stowe, where her children are stay ing. The Emperor, escorted by a detach ment of Life Guards, accompanied the Em press to the railroad station and bade her an affectionate farewell.

Count Von Hatzfeldt, the Btaff of the German embassy, tho Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connaught and the Duke of Cambridge bade him farewell at the sta tion. The Duke of Connaught entered the saloon of the Imperial carriage, where he remained in con vei nation with the Emperor for a few moments. Thero was prolonged cheering as ho departed. The Emperor affa bly waved his hand in farewell, instead of recognizing the demonstration accorded him with hi3 usual military salute. ACTUAL STARVATION FEARED. Result of the Order to Close Lobster Fac tories in Newfoundland. St. George's Bat, X. F., July 13. Sir Bald win AVolker'S proclamation closinc the Brit ish lobster factories along the cost of Xew foundland is practically an edict of starva tion to hundreds of people, and unless the people of Halifax and other parts of Canada organize a relief fund great destitution. If not actual starvation, must ensue. The scattered people of tho west coast are abso lutely dependent upon the fisheries. But the most important question is, will the British Government compensate the thou sands of people horn they prohibit from making a living? These 63 factories are closed down by the British warships at the demand of French naval officers, without any regard to their interference or otherwise with French fac tories or fisheries. The French admiral does not claim that a single one of those fac tories interferes witli his people, but says they aro in violation of the modus Vivendi and must therefore be closed down without any regard to the effect upon the helpless people of the coast.

GUARDED ANSWERS OF LEADERS When Asked Further as to the Full Clean ing of the Movement, KNIGHTS ARE INCENSED AT PATTISON Philadelphia, July 13. The publication to-day of the embryo pamphlet to bo put forth by the Knights of Labor in this State, defining their political change of base from the Democratic to the Republican side of the fence, caused a sensation in the organi zation, as well as in political circles. It was James A. Wright, the youngest, most aggressive and most popular of the general lecturers of the order, who gavo the diplomatic interpretation of the forthcom ing pamphlet to a representative of The Dispatch, and the Intimation of the change of base on the part of the Knights of Labor as regards their political affiliations was conveyed by Mr. Wright in the following language: "The desire of the Knights of Labor to get certain laws passed in this State induced us to support candidates pledged to ballot re form in the last campaign. We therefore supported Pattison and Black and those candidates for the Legislature who were pledged for it. It was, however, the Republicans at Harrisonr" who gave us the Constitutional Conven tion that will be voted on this falL On this account a report of our committee will be Issued in pamphlet form to the public, show ing how each Representative and Senator has voted on all labor and corporation bills. It is a report that will cause a great sensa tion." Admissions of Captain Butler. Mr. Wright is a member of the Legislative Committee that drew up tho report In question, nis colleague on that committee is Captain M. H. Butler. The advance publi cation of the report and the discussion aris ing from it appear to have created some division in tho order. Captain Butler was one of the leaders who assembled to-night at the Windsor Hotel, a well-known gather ing spot for the secret conclaves that be, and ho said, when addressed on the subject of the report, "the publicity given to it ia regretted." "By whom?" -g "I don't think it was advisable" ' "When will the report be issue ' "It is not ready yet. It is ow In tho hands of the printers. As soon a it Is pre pared in pamphlet form it will ie given to the public." "Will it be given to the public by sending it to the members of the Knip. s of Labor or to the newspapers?" "I suppose the public will se . 'Will It be amended or chanj d before the public sees it?" "Why, no; why should it be? Tom O'Reilly, the publisher of the organ of the Knights of Labor, j oin J Captain But ler at this moment, and he t. asked when the Teport would be ready for ue. "When will I have your m oscript?" ha asked of Captain Butler. "To-morrow morning or tT-night," was Captain Butler's answer. ' (Didn't you say It waa now --a tho hands of the printer?" he was asked. "I have it now," was bis qti : answer. "It will probably be given out b next Sunday or Monday." Leaders In Secret !' (don. At the Windsor to night, 1 members of the Legislative Committer .the Knights of Labor who prepared the r. 4 t, met, and for a number of hours discussf .he situation. Captain Butler, when see; , bis room at tho Windsor late to-night,. 3 aitted tho re visions of the report, bu . Iserted that 16 had not been modified as ho statistics it originally contained. - Ills explanation of the conflict between his statement and that of Editor O'Reilly In the afternoon was that the report had been really given to the printer, but recalled for turther consideration. He surrendered tho manuscript to Captain Butler, representing the committee, this morning, the publica tion of the features of its contents having created a storm in the organization and among politicians that verynntnrnlly Intim idated tho committeeman. The report un derwent a careful revision and was then re turned to Editor O'Reilly for the suspended printing. Resent the Action of Pattison. Of 3Ir.

Hlrl Tnf Iielteve Mr Pnwrtflrlv hnri1 fltatert that bis action was due to his desire to take part in tho constitutional convention fight in this State this fall. Mr. Wright was asked if Governor Pattison's granting of the requisition of Hughes, demanded by New York in the Rochester conspiracy case, was combatted by the Knights of Labor. "Yes, with all our might," he answered. "Was much disapprobation expressed by the Knights over the grantmgor the requisi tion?" "There certainly was." "Has that anything to do with the politi cal character of the report of your commit tee?" "I have nothing to say in answer to such a question or about the details of the report beyond what I have already said." The third member of tho now famous committee who was present at the meetings with Captain Butler and Mr. Wright quietly and briefly corroborated Mr. WnghVs frank statements of the political side of the case as already quoted. QUAY WASN'T POSTED. THE STLENT SENATOR GETS HIS NEWS IN THE DISPATCH. Ho Didn't Know That the E.0IL, Would Support the Republican Party His Fol lowers Talk of Slaking a Fight on the Judges. Senator Quay and his son Dick were on tho limited last evening going home from Brigantine Beach. Mr. Quay was not any too well pleased with his fishing trip. The weather was cold and the fish didn't bite to suit him. His face was badly tanned and his health is good. "I saw Dy The Dispatch this morning," he said in answer to a question, "that the Knights of Labor would support the Repub lican party this fall. It is the flrst I heard of it, but I hope the news is true. We want all the voters we can get. Beyond thU I don't know anything about It." The Senator declined to discus3 State poli tics, remarking that there was nothing new In the situation. Ho was much interested in the Judgeship flght in this county. Dur ing the day It was claimed by some local Republicans that tho rules of tho National Committee forbade subordinate committees from naming candidates instead of the peo ple. Senator Quay said the Xational Com mittee had issued no such rules, and it was none of their business. The committee con trols the Xational Convention and nothing more. County committees are governed by their own rules. "If the people are dissatisfied with the result," he added, "they have nobody to blame but themselves. They never should have permitted such action to be taken. I don't see how a convention can be called now. There may be a bolt, but I hardly think this result will follow." Among politicians the question of calling a convention is the all-absorbing topic. "1 think a. convention will be held," remarked a Quayite yesterday. "Tho indorsement of thejudges was made by the people who kicked anainst the party last fall. They hao. no more right to name these men and Ig nore tho people than tho Xational commit tee would have to meet to-morrow and nom inate a Presidental candidate without a con vention. Thisaction of the County Com mittee is without precedent in tho political history of the country. Tho Quay wing of the party will make a fight." Horsewhipped by Regulators. Kansas Citv, July 13.
