TcrECI U. TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCH.
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. He
lms made a pood Governor, and is entitled
to a second term. 31 y county of Licking w as
the first to instruct for him in IF!), and also
this year.

Is on foot to nominate Klmo for Gocrnor

lic-w of the bitter fight being waged, I don't
3iiow but w hat it would be a good idea.
ongressman elect Lnyton I am for

our way we may often light each other be

will all be Campbell men. The Governor
Trill surely be nominated.

In tho interest of nannony, Campbell and

Ai. Carlisle for Chairman.
Hon. James I..Xeal,the ex-Chairmanoftho

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

national issue. Should McKinley win, in tho

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.

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."

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.

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

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."

fBPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, July 13. A darkened Bouse
and inhospitable closed doors greeted the
ticket holders who presented themselves at
the Garden Theater to-night to sec "Prince
Karl." A notice that the theaterwas closed
owing to tho illness of Mr. Mansfield was"
Sasted on the door. Mr. French stated that
is contract with Mr. Manfleld called for
two weeks' holiday, but stipulated no tlmo
when this should bo taken. Ho could
make no complaint, except as to the
shortness of the notice. Mr. French said
that Mr. Mansfield had complained of
rheumatic troubles the latter part of last
week, and had half proposed if there should
be a hot spell ho would want to take his two
weeks' 1 est.
On Friday, too, he had an annoying expe
rience with a powder puff, while he was
making up for "Beau Brummel." 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. Around the theater there seems
to be a feeling that tho unpleasant experi
ence had as much to do with Mr. Mansfield's
illness as the rheumatism.

New York, July 13. A letter received at

gives tho latest information received about
the North Greenland exploring expedition
commanded by Lioutonant Peary. After

RUSSIA'S WHEAT CROP.
The Reported Failure Pronounced to Be a
Case of Plain Exaggeration.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCH.
New York, July 13. According to an arti
cle published in a New York paper of to-day
the outlook is for a failure of the Russian
wheat ciop, an utter lack of a surplus for ex
port. The average annual export of wheat
from Russia for four years past has been
about B0.0O0 ,000 bushels. In reply to a cable
inquiry by Bradstreets, 3Ir. J. E. Beerbohm,
of London, than w horn there aro few as well
informed concerning the condition of the
wneat crop in Europe, sent wora tnis atter
noon that reports of the failure of the Bus
sian wheat crops are exaggerated, and so
far are without any effect on the wheat mar
kets abroad.
It is added that the probable Russian
wheat surplus for export is likelv to bo fully
8 000,000 quarters, about 64.000,000 bushels, or
.1 little more than two-thirds of tho average
for four years past.

ENGLAND AT CHICAGO.
The Exhibits Will Be Commensurate
With the Nation's Enterprise.
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.

this morning rode throngh the most inter
esting parts of Hatfield Park, Lord Salisbury

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.

It is reported that the Emperor has In
vited the Prince and Princess of Wales to

in? autumn, and that the Prince and
Princess have, with the consent of Queen

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.

house of Lady Dudley, with a select number
of the aristocratic circle. He started for Scot
land to-night. 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.

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

was James A. Wright, the youngest,

diplomatic interpretation of the forthcom

of base on the part of the Knights of Labor
as regards their political affiliations was
conveyed by Mr. Wright in the following
language:

Committee that drew up tho report In

is Captain M. H. Butler. The advance publi
cation of the report and the discussion aris

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."

"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

had not been modified as ho statistics it

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

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."
