A BLOODT C0STL1CT IS TEOBAELE TO-EAT rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Knoxville, Tiacx.. July 20. An ex traordinary event occurred at Bricerille, the teat of the minin; troubles, to-day. About 11 o'clock in the morning the miners and a crowd of sympathizers from the ad joininz country surrounded the camp of the State militia and captured the troops and convicts, marched them off to the depot and put them on a train and shipped them to Knoxville. The camp was on a little laioll in a hollow and surrounded on all sides by mountains. The miners and their friends to the number of 1,200 or 1,500, were divided in four equal squads, and ap proached on the four sides of the square which the camp was formed in. The miners sent np a flag of truce and Bent in a com mittee to the officer in command. The com mittee notified the officers that they came to take the convicts peaceably, if possible, by forf, if necessary. The officer parleyed awhile and then agreed to surrender. The troops were al lowed to keep their arms and ammunition. Then the troops and convicts marched to the train. There they were loaded in box cars, or whatever could be had, and the en tire lot sent to this city. They arrived here about 4:30 o'clock. The troops, to the num ber of 107, all told, went to the armory of the Knoxville Kifles, where they now re main, awaiting the orders of the Governor. Promised Not to Return. The miners made them promise not to re turn to Coal Creek. The convicts were taken to the jail and locked up and fed. An i"i .ca!e-rt.i jjwt,'" troops si. the. depot. They were freely cheered as they marched through the streets. The men had been on duty nearly five days in rain and sun and had little in the way of provisions and but little equipment. The city is now intensely excited. lead ing men of all political parties say the law must be upheld. Sympathy, which had been enlisted on the 6ide of the miners, is now against them for this lawless act at a time when everything was being done to relieve the situation. Governor Buchanan's administration is that of the Farmers' Alliance and some of the politicians are discussing what the Alliance will do; but the great mass of citizens say the law must be ob ierved, and that Governor Buchanan must enforce it, regardless ot cost. The senti ment here is that he must send all the State troops, who are few and poorly organized, to the front also and put experienced men and officers in charge. If he has not force enough he must call for volunteers. A Call Made for Regulars. A report has ceen circulated here that he would ask the President for 500 regulars, but the truth of this cannot be verified. It s known that the leaders of th mob were not miners, either last week or to-day. One Eugene Merrill led them in each instance. o"b a "jim crow" merchant at Briceville, lsnt S said to be a determined man. He spoke hi reply to Governor Buchanan last week and treated the Governor with indig nity. Other leaders are known, and the sen timent hero is that they must be arrested and taken to Nashville, as the law pro vides, and punished. The miners have appointed a committee to say w hat dispatches shall be sent out and what not, and this committee, or some mem bers of it,ure in the telegraph office all of the time and read all the matter sent out by the newspaper men. The committee, whether self-appointed or by tho miners' organiza tion, is so acting and told tho operator on duty at the key that if he did not let them read the messages they would cut tho wire. The wire is a private one and does all bnsi-ns-s, including railroad and train dis patches. There are reports that the railroad company will call for special detectives to guard their property. Much Property in Dancer. Another view of tho situation is tho dan ger to capital invested at Coal Creek. Largo sums of money have been invested there by rnen in Xcr York and other places, and the great development of tho properties is largely due to this money. Costly machin eiy is exposed to the fury of the mob. Citi zens say that such high-handed outrages as that of to-day will destroy public confidence end money will cease to come in lor devel opments now just started. There is one bad feature connected with the affair, which has not yet been brought out, that is the conduct of tho militia which has been on these grounds. Yesterday many were allowed to go outside tho lines to get tood, and they mingled freely with the min rs. These troops told the miners they did Mt want to guard the convicts, and to come en and gel them; iJso they would not tight Chcni for convicts. One Chattanooga com pany, whoso members largely belong to trades oigauiztitions. has especially acted badly and made the statements to the min rs. Citizens hero say that the act of the Jnob is a direct insult to tho Governor. Hooted and Jeered the Troops. To-day as tho troops wero marched off the miners jeured and hooted them, and yelled: "Toll Buck to send some more dudes; ve"il cat them as fast as they come." The cit'zens say this insult is to the entire State and tne Governor must nr-r-t and punish tho leaders. The mob is celebrating its victory by eneoring, carousing and shooting. It should be staled thst a force of 500 men, properly equipped and led, could subdue the entire ilo'ii, lor thoy have no idea of openly facing n good force. They know, from tho state ments made them yesterday, -the troops would not tight, but everyone feels that tno mob has mado a mistake and that they will be subdued now. In other words, they have lost public sj-inpathy. A report comes from Coal Creek that the miners declare no troops can bo landed there. Tliero are threats tthat thoy will wreck tho trains or burn tho railrotid bridges. When the miners made the attack on the camp to-day Lieutenant Chandle, of the Knoxvillo ltiflcs, saluted the Colonel as a volunteer, and asked to fight the mob with 20 men. More Convicts Captured. After the relcaso of the convicts at the Briceville mines this morning and after tho troops and convicts had been placed on tho train, the mob went to the mines of the Knoxville Iron Company and surrounded the stockade and captured 125 convicts there with tho guards. They wore shipped away to Knox ville, and arrived here abont B:30 o'clock. All convicts are now here to an old building under guard. jl can oi some laoor leaacrs nas oeen is sued for a labor meeting' hero to-morrow night. It is reported here to-night that the miners at Oliver Springs have released the 130 convicts there, but this report has not been verified. The excitement hero to night is Intense. Streets are crowded and a diversity of opinion is heard. Many of the labor men say tho miners have done right. The troops who arrived here to-day deny tho statements made that they would not fignt, but wished the miners to capture the convicts, most vehemently. The Chat tanooga boys show a brave, determined spirit to go back to tho front. Many miners from Jolico and Newcomb were In the mob to-day. All the Militia Sent Out. A dispacth from Nashville says: To-day's developments in the mining troubles has caused all the immediately available mili tary in the State to be called out by Gov ernor Buchanan, and to-night not less than It companies of the National Guard, well armed and equipped, are scurrying toward tho scene by several special trains. The first intimation of troublo was received from Warden Blevens at 10 o'clock this morning, when he tele graphed that a thousand men and more were gathered between Coal Creek and Briceville, and were preparing to march against the Briceville stockade. Governor Buchanan, Jwho has been act ing with evory caution, thereupon decided that reinforcements were necessary. He has been relying upon thepositive assurance, of the leaders of the miners that they would make no movement so long as the military wero present. Now, ho we ver. If there is going to be trouble, he considers it best to have every available man in the field. Governor Buchanan telegraphed General S. T. Carnes, of Memphis, to take the Chick asaw Guards. Bluff City Zouaves, Rozeer Zouaves and Maurelian Cadets to Briceville by special train and to assume command of tho entire forces. More Troops Ordered Out. He also ordered out the Nashville Light Infantry, the Washington Light Artillery and tho Buchanan Rifles, of Nashville (the latter a new company, 30 strong, that was mustered in this morning); the Franklin Light Infantry, the Stones River Guards, of Murfreesboro; the Tullahoma Light Infantry and the ShelbyvilleJCompaniesJind the Sewannee Cadets. Each comnanv was tirovided with 2,000 rounds of catridges, while the Wash ington Light Artillery takes two improved gatling guns, firing L250 times per minute, with ten thousand rounds of cartridges for each gun. The Franklin and Springfield companies were brough. hero by special trains, aud, with the three Nashville companies, left here on a special train at 6 o'clock this even ing. The other companie i will be picked up along the road, except tho Memphis com panies, which will be met In Chattanooga. With tho force now at Kaoxville. the State will have 600 well-armed men in the field. Adjutant General Newman, who arrived at Coal Creek this morning, wired about 2 o'clock the fact that the convicts and small military forco had been taken to Knoxville. and that the miners were in possession of Bricevillr. The men orderedou; to-day will probably reach Coal Creek to-morrow morn ing in case the Memphis men make con nection. SERE'S A PBETTY CASK An American Boy, With an American Mother Not Allowed to Land. tSPECIAL TELEQKAK TO TOE DISPATCH. New Yoke, July 20. Four stowaways ar rived here on tho National line steamship England, on July 13. Their pedigrees were taken at the Barge Office, and they were sent back to England as prohibited immigrants. Three said that they were Englishmen. Tho other, a slim, blue-eyed young fellow, with a decided American accent, declared, in an affidavit, that he was Frank Sherman, born in Milwaukee 19 years ago. He said ho had an uncle, Albert Kirchncr, living in Chicago, where his widowed mother, a native Ameri can, resides. His declaration had no effect on General O'Beirne, the Assistant Superin tendent of Immigration, who decided to send him back witu theothors. They were put under guard. A man who became interested in Sherman's case sent a dispatch to the lad's mother This answer came back on Sunday: "Relcas'e my son, Frank Sherman, who is 19 years old, an American citizen and stowa iv ay on the England." Still Mr. O'Beirne declined to alter his de cision. Tho National line, according to one of its representatives, is not going to do any thing to prevent Sherman's return to an alien country, aud unless some of Sherman's friends get him a writ of habeas corpus, his native land will fade in the distance Thurs day morning. When ho reaches Liverpool if he sails he will be liable to prosecution as a stowaway, after which ho may be re turned as an American pauper, and sent back as a pauper immigrant, and so on until the sea freezes over. COTTAGES IK DANGEB. High-Rolling Waves at Cape May Washing Away Land to an Alarming Extent. ISrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn. Cape May, N. J., July 20. The whole popu lation of Cape May, including the President, have been watching the washing and de struction by the monster waves rolling to night on the beach front between the Capo and Emerald avenue. Cape May Point, about three squares south of the Presidental cottage. Postmaster General Wanamaker's cottage is at the foot of Emerald avenue, and the tide is encroaching upon its ground. The waves have taken out about four fee t of ground to-night, and one cottage has been moved back 15 feet and another will linve to be to-morrow, as the tide will bo just as high to-morrow night and perhapsas fierce. The Beadle Cnapel, where the Presi dent attends services sometimes, is on the verge of the precipice. The boardwalk which was erected about a month ago is now about three feet out from tho land, and if protection is not mado it will be 15 feet out by to-morrow evening. WABMCASTLE'S BEQUEST. He Wants the Tearly Expense Allowance of His Depnties Increased. IFKOM A STAFT CORRESPONDENT. Washington, July 20. Collector Warm castle made a flying trip to the city to-day. He arrived at about 7 o'clock. At 9 he was closeted with Commissioner Mason, and at 2 was on his way to Philadelphia. He called on the Commissioner to urge a larger ex pense allowance for his deputies. Since the reduction of the number of deputies from 13 to 11 each man of the 11 has to cover a larger territory and his expenses are correspond ingly increased. Tho allowance of $100 per year is entirely Inadequate, and tho Collector prays for bet ter pay for his hard worked men. The Com missioner seems to bo kindly disposed in the matter, and a substantial increase will arobably be the result of the visit, thoa--h r. Warnicastlo will not say so. OLD CATHOLIC CLEBGYMEN. Some of the Older Coterie Are StiU in Active Service Here ISPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn. Beaddock, July 20. Some comment lias been aroused here by tho published state ment that owing to tho death of Father Jerome Kearney, Father Pollard and other priests there aro absolutely no priests of de cided prominence left except Father Wall and Father Lambing, and if Father Wall were to die Father Lambing alone would represent the older coterie of Catholic clergymen. A prominent Catholic said to-day: "The omest uitnolic clergymen in Allegheny onnnur ,,-v. l? TionJ.tc io.. far,iV j - -. - "wv f u. x .ma- j burg; Rev. Carroll, of Pittsburg, and Rev. J.

FLOOD DAMAGES WANTED. JOHNSTOWN SUFFERERS DECIDE TO COMMENCE SUIT. New Attorneys Engaged to Itcplaco Those Who Advised That No Actions Bo Com menced Confident That Thoy Can Re cover for All They Lost. rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Johnstown, July 20. Two years ago the coming October at a meeting of citizens a fund of $l,SO0 was raised to retain attorneys to inquire into the advisability of bringing suit against the South Folk Fishing Club, for damages by the flood. Ihe fund was con tributed to by over 200 suffers, mostly busi ness men. Col. John P. Linton and W. Horaco Rose, the leading members of tho Cambria County Bar, and both heavy flood sufferers were retained, and after six months' waiting they mado a report. The report states that there was no probability that a suit would be successful. Thoy stated that should such an action against the club as an organization be success ful, nothing could be recovered, as the club hadpraoticailynoassets. They further stated that an action could not be against indi vidual members of the club unless it could be shown that there was individual negli gence This they thought could not he shown against any others than Colonel Ruff and Colonel Ungcr. Colonel Ruff Is dead and Colonel Unger's assets would only pay a very small proportion of loss. The report finally concluded by saying that it would not be advisable to bring action. Many of the subscribers were not satisfied with this report and tho knowledge that In dividuals have recently entered suit with good prospects of success has made the sub scribers to this fund more dissatisfied, and to-day a meeting was held to discuss the matter. Correspondence had previously been had with ex-Congressman A. II. Coti roth, of Somorsct, who was present and sub mitted a proposition. Ho says there is good reason to believe that suits for damages will be successful against individual members of the club. His statement was received with much en thusiasm, and committees were at once put to work to secure fuudsas a retainer. There is about $300 yet on hand but Mr. Coffroth was authorized tQ consult with a prominent Pittsburg attorney, and a big fund will no doubt be raised within a few days. Many of the sufferers express confidence in the new arrangement and say thoy leel thoy will re cover all they lost. J. J. Strayer, who recently entered suit on his own account, will lend his efforts to this arrangement but will allow his suit to stand and says he is assured that ho will recover every aoiiar ne lost, liis losses are aDout $75,000. Colonel Linton is now a candidate for Judge and Rose is Mayor of this city, so that neither of them will be in tho new deal. SHOT FOE FB0VI8I0NS. Cowardly Murder Committed in a Florida Camp.

It Corroborates Wanamaker's Testi mony About That- Loan. A HIGHLY INTERESTING STORY. Enmors of .a Criminal Suit Against JlcCam ant Prove Untrue. EDIT0E STCLUEE ENTEES HIS DENIAL ISPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Philadelphia, July 20. Attorney General Hensel came to town to-day, and rumors were immediately started to tho effect that he had come here on business connected with the bringing of criminal prosecutions against Stato offioers, especially against Auditor General McCamant, for having re ceived from Bardsley a divide of the rebate allowed by newspapers who published the mercantile appraisers' lists. It was even said in one of tho evening papers that Mr. Hensel had been in consultation with Dis trict Attorney Graham on the subject dur ing the day. This is entirely untrue. Mr. Hensel did not see Mr. Grahnm and he was here on altogether different business. It can be stated on the best authority that the State administration does not contem plate prosecuting the Auditqr General, for the simple reason that they have no legal evidence to go on. Whatever poople may think of Bardsley's memorandum on his stubbook, that he paid the money to Mc Camant, or however it may affect Mr. Mc Camant's social and political future, it is not such evidence as a lawyer would attempt to take into court. Drawn to Bardsley's Order. The check itself was drawn to the order of "Myself," that is, Bardsley. The stub says the money went to McCamant, but that by itself is no evidence at all, and Harry N. Graffen, who was the go-between in the deal with the newspapers, and who might, per haps, if he were alive, corroborate Bards ley's stub memorandum, is dead: So that there is just no evidonce at all on which to bring a criminal charge against McCamant. Mr. Hcnsel's visit here to-day was in con nection with the suits which he proposes to bring against tho city for the recovery of State money embezzled bv Bardsley. . The committee charged with the duty of probing the wonderful financial methods of ex-City Treasurer John Bardsley and tho in cidental matters that eventuated In the looting of tho treasury of the city of Philadel phia and the wrecking of two of the national banks, met at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Col onel A. K. McClure, editor of the Times, who appeared at his own request, was tho first witness and he refuted the charge alleged to have been made by Bardsley In an interview in jail, to the effect that McClure was to re ceive a block of stock for advocating in his paper the lease or sale of tho gas works, so conclusively that after reading his sworn statement the committee declined to ask him any questions. Wanamaker's Story Corroborated, Lawyer Samuel B. Huey, counsel for the Lucas estate, was the main attraction for the eyes and ears of the assembled throng, andwasbyfar the most important witness of tho day. His evidence, so far as it touched Mr. Wanamaker, was a complete corrobora tion of tho testimony given by the Postmas ter General. Mr. Huey submitted a long written statement, which he swore to. In the course of his testimony, Mr. Huey said: "John C. Lucas died August 13, 1888. I never was his counsel except in ono equity suit some years before his death, nnd never represented, his bank, so that all I know of his affairs I have learned since his death and as counsel for his widow, who retained me about September 1, 18S8. Mr. Lucas kept no privato books and I bad to gather the condition of his estate from amass of papers and memoranda which were handed mo. My knowledge, therefore, with reference to any matter with which he has been con cerned has beeu gathered gradually from these memoranda and from personal inter views with different people whose names I found mentioned in coniuotius with bis business affairs. The Wanamaker Loan. "On September 7, 1883, I found a memor. andum reading as follows: "'March 3, 1886 John C. Lucas, John Wanamaker i per cent on call. One thou sand shares Keystone National Bank stock collateral, $10,000.' "I at once addressed a note to Mr. Wana maker asking him whether ho held such a note and this collateral. The next day I re ceived from him the following reply: "My Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the 7th Instant, received to-day, I borrowed some money for Mr. Lucas, which was a nart of a transaction that either Mr. Samuel Lucas. Mr. Marsh or I can exriain about at your pleasure.' "I then called upon him, when he told mo that ho had borrowed $10,000 from tho Gtrard Trust Company at the request of Mr. Lucas, and upon Mr. Lucas' collateral, and that he had no interest whatever in tho loan, either as debtor or creditor, or in tho stock which was the collateral. Some time in the next year the Girard Trust Company called this loan. It was paid by the bank and the amount charged to the estate's account. I have been requested to state what I knew about this transaction, and what I have said covers all of my knowledge." A Trip to Washington. After giving a full account of tho settle ment made by the Lucas estate with the bank after the run last December, Mr. Huey said: "On Friday, March 6, 1 went to Wash ington with Mr. Marsh and Mr. Haines and saw the Comptroller. He questioned Mr. Marsh as to the condition of affairs and the prospects of the stockholders coming for ward to aid the bank, and received assur ances which seemed satisfactory to him. I knew nothing of the facts which wero being stated, and, therefore, was simply a listener. "I then discussed the provisions of the act with the Comptroller, and he agreed with me as to the construction to be put upon the act by the department, and said that if the stockholders manifested good faith in the matter of aidim; the bank to the iwmh-pr! extent as Mr. Marsh said they undoubtedly would do, he would give all needed time within tho statutory provision of threo months, to enable the matter to be closed up. "Whilo in Washington Mr. Marsh and Mr. Haines were desirous of enlisting the aid of Mr. Wanamaker in the matter of reorgani zation, and we called upon that gentleman. Mr. Marsh told of what had been done in tne way of socuring subscriptions, nnd asked Mr. Wanamaker if he would not aid, either by subscribing to stook or by loaning the bank some money or his paper. Marsh Put In a Hole. "After Marsh had made his request Mr. Wanamaker said to him: 'Have you told these gentlemen what you have said to me about the collateral which I hold?' 'No,' replied Marsh. 'Well,' said Mr. Wana maker, 'you should have done so,' And he (Mr. AVanamaker) then stated that he held certain stock of the Keystone Bank as col lateral and that Marsh claimed that it was an overissue This was the first that I had heard of there being any overissue of stock, and Mr. Haines said that this was the first that he had beard of any such allegation. "In tho discussion that ensued, Mr. Wana maker said that whilo he personally enter tained no doubt as to tho genuineness and valuo of the stock, yet he could not bo a party to allowing tho Comptroller to be un informed of the question that had been raised by Mr. Marsh, whereupon Mr. Marsh proposou that the stook in question be set tled for by a transfer of seashore and coun try property, and an equitable interest that the Lucas estate held in one or two city properties. I said I could not speak for tho Lucas estato without consulting Mrs. Lucas, and the matter was left open for further con sideration. Wanamaker Turns Over the Stock. "Nothing camo of the attempt at settle ment and the bank failed, after which Mr. Wanamaker agreed to pass over the stock to Mrs. Lucas without compensation, and it passed through my hands as attorney for the Lucas estate. As such attorney I sur rendered it to Mr. Drew, the Bank Ex aminer on the 23th of March and received from him a formal receipt for the same. "Before turning over the stock I insisted upon seeing the evidence of this so-called 'overissue,' and Mr. Marsh showed one or two memorandum books which he had at tho bank, purporting to give the number of every outstanding certificate, and showing,' by addition, that the stock was over-issued some 2.500 shares. I asked him how it oc curred, and he stated that the certificates were all genuine, in .that they had been regularly taken from the ccrtlfl-Jwas subject to seasons of insanity. . . : ' ' . . , --VO V t cato book and signed by the offi cers of the bank, but that, when stock which had been sold was brought in for transler and new certificates issued; the old certificates were not always cancelled, but were sometimes thrown into a drawer and used again if the occasion required It, and that this doubtless was the way that these certificates held by 3Ir. Wanamaker had been used. "Of course, he added, Mr. Wanamaker knew nothing of this, and there was nothing on the certificates themselves to indicate any irregularity." ANOTHER SENSATION IS LOOKED FOR IN THAT JtfEW HAMP SHIRE MURDER CASE. A Dark Chapter In Almy's Life to Be Re vealedSurrounded With Mystery Tl Murderer Believed to Be Under Arrest at Worcester. ISPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn. Hauover, X. II., July 20. Frank Almy, the murderer of Christie Warden, is still at largo, although there are hundreds of men and boys scouring the country for some trace of him. Among the searchers are nil of the Dartmouth College professors, who are spending their vacations at home. There was a brief cessation this afternoon when the victim's body was borne to Its last rest ing place. A great crowd followed It to the little country graveyard where It was burled. There is a strong feeling that this strange tragedy is to have another sensational chapter. Certain facts have come to light which lead to the belief that the murderer's name is not Almy. His superior education and intelligence were those of a man far above the sphere of an ordinary farm hand. He seemed to be certainly in fear of dis covery. He always carried two large army revolvers in his pockets. When asked why ho went so heavily armed he would say that he had lived several years in Texas, where everybqdy carried revolveis. Yet he was evldentlyafraidthnt something of his past life would become known. He never talked of his past life, except once, when he first entered? the Warden house hold. Then ho told Mr. Warden that he was from the South. He said that his father was dead and that his mother married again, and that he did not liko his stepfather. The outcome was, according to Almy's story, that he struck his stepfather over the head with a chair and then left home. In his re lations to Christie, Almy had only such little privileges as walking home with her.

At 1 o'clock this morning the situation here Is quiet. The men who were supposed to goon duty at midnight made no attempt to go to work, either being afraid of the little knots of men gathered on the streets or they had been pre vailed upon not to go to work. The great mills are now running with the same force of men who went on at tho i o'clock turn last evening, and they will be kept at work until morning, when another attempt will be made to get a forco of men inside the mill to relieve the present exhausted con tingent. There Is a crowd of about 100 strikers guarding the mill, and they are determined not to allow any more men to enter the mill. Several labor leaders were present, and all advised the men to bo careful and do noth ing unlawful. No trouble is expected to night, not until to-morrow morning at 8 o'clock, when the management is deter mined to send in another force of men, and the strikers aro as determined that they shall not go in.

An application for a doereo of incorporation by the "Deutsch Oesteireichischers Unterstutzung Verein von St, Louis," a proposed Austrian society, was filed in the Circuit Court and referred to Colonel Pat Dyer for decision. Colonel Dyer mado his report to-day, recommending that the decree be refused. - The report says that the evident purpose of the proposed corporation is to fraternize all Austrians, their descendants and friends. The constitution provides that the proceed ings of the Board of Directors and the work ings oi tne society snail ue written in uer m;ui and that no one can be eligible to mem bership unless he understands that language, which Sir.

A CONFERENCE OF THE FACTIONS Proposed out Scouted lv the leaders Who Say They Are Good Friends, AND TETINO TO AT0ID THE IIGHTNTNG ISPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l Cixcikhati, July 20. Senator Sherman is In town and the air is full of rumors of con ferences between the Foraker and the Mans field statesman's factions. Tho Commercial Gazette's editorials of the last day or two are responsible in a large measure for the sig nificance attaching to Senator Sherman's visit to tho city. The Commercial to-day con tinues In the same strain as yesterday to call upon both leaders of tho Republican party to refrain from jeopardizing the fate of the State ticket by quarrels over tho Senatorship. Warning the Rivals. In to-day's editorial the warping is phrased thus: The Commercial Gazette still hope and believes that the Republican party in Ohio will not have to shoulder the burden of a factional aght to subserve the personal Interests of a few men whoarenmbl tloua to secure a seat In the United States Senate, in a contest upon the result of which largely de pends the supremacy of the Republican party in that nation. Let us have a straightforward state ment from both Senator Sherman and Governor Foraker. Let us know just what they are doing aud what they are planning, and let ub repeat with emphasis the assertion made yesterday that the Republican party Is of far greater Importance than Foraker or bhermau, or Foraker and tihermaa. No statement, straightforward or other wise, has been forthcoming as yet, although It is known that Sherman has obtained through a mutual friend a diagram of the ex-Governor's position from Foraker him self. This interesting declaration is still shrouded in mystery, and to make The Outlook Hazier Foraker denies that he has been asked to attend any conference, and Senator Sherman insists that he is merely In Cincinnati to visit relatives and friends. AU the same this evening prominent Republicans are thronging the Gibson House to see Mr. Sher man. There was no attempt to hold a pri vate meeting to disouss any political sub ject. Friends of Sherman and admirers of Foraker alike thronged the parlors and said pleasant things to Mans field's statesman; and at 10 o'clock the rattle of carriages loaded with late coming callers was still drowning the roar of the electric cars on Walnut street. It is said to-night that tho conference will occur Wednesday, and it is generally recognized that unless the outcome Is a truce at least between the rival aspirants for Senatorial honors McKinley and the balance of the State ticket will be handicapped badly at the start. A Conference Scouted. Ex-Governor Foraker was interviewed late to-night and said: "The only man I have had any conference with on tho subject Is Amor Smith. He came to see me at Senator Sherman's request to know what my position was. I gave it to him, and he told me that he had written tho same to the Senator. This talk about hold ing a conference for the purpose of citing me to appear before it, as though it were some august tribunal empowered to take juris diction of such matters and compel a man to explicitly assign his position which is oniy anotner way ot saying get out or some body else's road, and all that kind of stuff, is simply so much nonsense, indicating, If there is any truth in it, that the fool friends are again abroad in the land. The whole businossif true would be simply a piece of preposterous gall and impudence, with which no one would have any patience." When the contents of-ex-Governor Fora ker's interview were shown to Senator Sher man, ho said: "Governor Foraker feels very much about the matter as I do. I never re quested him or desired anyone to request him to withdraw from the candidacy for the Eenatcr,' He has as clear and unquestioned a right to this position as I nave. According to his statement he is a candi date very much as I am. 1 will not scramble for the support of the members of tho Legis lature; but if I should be elected to the Sen ate I would accept the trust and perform it as best I could." AN ALLIANCE BOOH. It Is a Big Financial Pamphlet, Calculated to Kick Up a Sensation. TEPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH, TorEKA, Kan., July 20. T. B. Maxson, Chair man of the Alliance Finance Committee, is preparing a pamphlet for use by tho Alli ance lecturers, showing that the country .is on the high road to ruin. His effort Is the most sensational Alliance literature pub lished. His work was outlined by the Alli ance Executive Committee, and forms tho sp cond of the serie3 of articles for tho educa tional campaign in the United States. The ideas he advances on the money question are in line with those of the "Great Red Dra gon," tho Alliance publication written to show that Threadneedle street bankers own the .United States. He will use figures to show that for 382 years the gold used for coinage has been 53-100 "of & cent per capita for each year as an average. Mr. Maxson also attempts to show that the banks, by decreasing the supply of bank notes, are forcing the country into bank ruptcy. Statistics are submitted to prove that the rate has been less In the past decade in this country than for any corresponding, and from this fact, the conclusion is drawn that the middle classes have been forced to restrict their families. All of these evils are charged to the plutocrats who manipulate the old parties. The pamphlet contains 25,000 words, and will bo placed in the hands of every Alliance lecturer of the country. CLEVELAND FOB OHIO. A Strong Probability That the Ex-Presi dent Will Speak in the State. ISPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Columbus, July 20. Governor Campbell was interviewed to-night concerning the report that ex-President Cleveland would speak in Ohio during the coming campaign. "I do not know that any such arrangement has been made," said the Governor. "Mr. Cleveland, with otbor prominent Demo crats, will be invited to speak." "Havo you any assurance that he will accept an Invitation?" "I think it probable he would," replied the Governor. "No invitations have ueen sent out yet to my knowlege. I am waiting for the Stato Committee to organize and get dowr- to work. Of course I cannot say what some Individual may have done on his own responsibility. Sir. Cleveland may have been asked to visit some city in the State during the campaign aud havo written a favorable letter." "Will an effort be made to have Mr. Cleve land visit the State?" "Of course, I would like to have Mr. Cleve land here," said Mr. Campbell. "He would be a tower of strength in the campaign." ITBST OF ITS FOND.

DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN PUSHED FOB THE NOMINATION. Ex-Congressman MaUh Launches the Boom A Sly Little Game of His Be 'neath It AH He Wants to Be Clerk or the House. rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Philadelphia, July 20. Ex-Congressman Levi Malsh is responsible for Mr. Kerr's in troduction as the prospective Democratic nominee for State Treasurer. It i3 well known that Mr. Maish wants to be next Chief Clerk of the House. This fact, how ever, cropped out prematurely. When the Democratic State Execntlvo Committeo met In this city recently there was also a meeting of tho Democratic Congres sional delegation, the members of which heard about Malsh's intention to contest wy rr for the House Clerkship for the 11 j. was Malsh's. formal bid for in dt 16-Cn.r r''Oo"-de public his campaign, anrTti.' 70 -' ,o-nen present refused tomakeft' l)rn f .-'-.turned around, however, and I-,. lUOrf Qlr, Tnis nction comp 7y l- 'he plans of tho York ex-Congressmitl tr mowing the value of time in disposing"m opponent like Kerr, Mr. JIaish rallied promptly and organized tho boom, going around the State with Kerr's name all over it. A meet ing of the Democratic members of the Pennsylvania delegation lias been called for Thursday next in this city, but whether the objector the call is to reconsider the previous action touching Chairman Kerr or not Is not known. As ono item of business the members propose to solidify the vote from this State and so gain proper recognition in the next House if it is possible to do so. Mr. Maish has been very busy lately push ing his campaign and cultivating chances. The announcement of Senator Green's name as an addition to tho list of Democratic can didates before the September conven tion was another cautious move on Sir. Malsh's chess board. He wanted Chairman Kerr to havo company, so as to dull the surprise he knew tho announce ment would create. Senator Green, how ever, has always been acutely assiduous to Senator Green's interests and his prompt declination followed. CLABES0N ON QUAY. ATery Kindly Reference to the Retiring Republican National Chairman. New York, July 20. Sir". Clarkson was to day shown the dispatch in tho morning papers purporting to quote Senator Quay's words stating that he had decided to resign the Chairmanship of the Republican National Committo Immediately after the election. Mr. Clarkson said: "I am able to state that this is true. Immediately after the election. Senator Quay stated to his col leagues of the Executive Committee that he desired to resign as Chairman; that he did not desire to do the detail work and havo tho detail correspondence of a political committee, and still more, that he felt that a United States Senator ought not to be the Chairman of a National Committee or any political committee. His colleagues on the committee resisted this and persuaded him not to resign. He re newed the wish three or four months after ward, and about the time pf the inaguration insisted npon it with a great deal of deter mination. Tho judgment of the committee was opposed to it, and they were unanimous in the desire that tho organization which had gone through a great struggle, and which ad performed a great work, maintaining absolutely harmonious relations, should re main unbroken until replaced by the new National Committee, created by the next National Convention of the party. His health waa frail at times, and he de sired to bo rid of the bnrden superimposed by the details of a National Commit tee, which are much larger in the intervals of a campaign than is gen erally supposed. In the dullest time the Chairman of the National Com mittee receives an average of a hundred letters a day which ho has to answer. When his health failed in the Sen ate, and ho went to Florida on his annual fishing tour, ho stated to mo then his unal tered determination to resign." Sir. Clarkson, in the interview, spoke in the highest terms of praise regarding Sena tor Quay, for whom ha had a high regard, affection and respect. WHY SUAY BESIGNS. The Story That There Aro Sensational Reasons Proven to Be Improbable. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCn Washington, July 20. A story is going tho rounds this evening that the interview with Senator Quay published by The Dispatch this morning, in which the Senator implied some doubt in regard to his resignation, was given out lor a general purpose. Tho gist of tbo tale is, that the Senator threatens to stay at the head of the com mittee and make trouble for the Presi dent, if the latter fails to appoint certain of tho Senators friends to office. Tho only person cited, however, as being in volved in the matter is Second Comptroller Giikeson, who wishes to succeed Judge Schofleld on the bench of the Court of Claims. Tho sensation makers fail to state that the Senator for tho mere asking re ently had Brooks appointed to succeed Col lector Martin in Philadelphia. As to the appointment of Mr. Giikeson, that will undoubtedly be made at the proper time. While Judge Schofleld has reached the retiring age, he has not yet resigned. The time canio when he might be retired at about the time of the adjournment of the Court of Claims for the summer vacation. The Judge concluded to hold on till the court reconvenes, which will be on October 4, and that will be so close to the meeting of Congress that it is not probable a recess ap pointment will be made. It is believed that there is a clear understanding between Sen ator Quay and the President in regard to Giikeson that he is to be appointed immedi ately after the meeting of Congress.

The Popular Young American Tenor 'Is Now a Wagnerian Hero. HE WINS THE GERMANS' HEARTS With His Superb Performance in the Try inj: Part of Tristan. ASSISTED BY THE GEEATEST ISOLDE DY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. Bayreuth, July 20. Max Alvary, of all tho artists to-day assembled at Bayreuth tha most popular In America, is rapidly becom ing tho most popular Wagnerian tenor in Germany. He lives In a charmlngvllla near, tho Wagner theater, and from his windows commands a charming view of the Fran conian Mountains. His rooms aro adorned with trophies of his vocal triumphs in a dozen German cities. Shelves are filled with books on the history of music.costumes and acting, Wagner's works complete, and critical works, which Alvary studies care fully. He did six weeks' hard labor on tha character of Tristan. He had never ap peared in that part, having promised Mrs. Wagner not to sing It before he could do so at Bayreuth. There was great interest to hear a young Tristan for the first time since the youthful days of Niemann and Yogel. All the ticket.3 for the Tristan nights were sold six weeks ago, and hundreds of letters applying for stray tickets, mestly from American en thusiasts, have bee.i returned to them. The rage among the New Yorkers to hear him is intense, and our handsome, gifted Siegfried returns their admiration by saying that his career began in New York. AU are disappointed that he does not also slnsr Tannhaeuser on the first night, Wednesday, but it could not be, for the strongest tenor needs abundant rest after tho exhausting role of Tristan. Alvary's Munich Triumph. There was groat excitement in Munich last winter over his Tannhaeuser, and tha bouses for all his per irmances were sold out a week ahead. This is unprecedented in Munich, and the old v"gner Society wrota an official letter to hi., which I have seen, and in which Alvary Is pronounced the greatest Tannhaeuser. The critics unani mously indorsed the verdiotof New York and praise his resonant voice, his fine stage presence and his realistic acting, which they declared to be inimitable in the forging of the sword, in Siegfried. He was engaged at 'ce by the impres sario, Pollini, of Han. irg, for ten years, al though ho i3 left free tu travel nine months in the year. He has refused an offer from Henry E. Abbey and another flattering and Srofl table proposal tor a concert tour in tha nited States, as he feels that his proper place is in the German opera. Cosima Wagner complimented him after his first rehearsal with orchestra by can- ceiung tno oraer jor a uress renearsai lor him as unnecessary. Like Seidl and Fischer, Alvary gives tho impression of being an artist who cares more for his art than for personal success, and hence he is all tha inoro successful porsonp'ly. A Superb Performance. The performance of "Tristan and Isolde," one of the severest of Wagner's creations, brought together an audienco remarkable for its enthusiasm and the emotional inter est with which it followed every note. Tho Americans, devoted to Alvary, mustered in full force, and their feeling for their favor ite at times threatened to break through the rules of" the theater. Sucher was the Isolde, and she proved herself the greatest of all Isoldes. She swayed and controlled at will the excitement of tho house by her splendid declamation and her action, in stinct at every turn with imperious pas sion, especially in the first act. Such a superb creature, in the plenitude of her powers, threatened to crush the young artist from a loreign land, whev had t" oub jjlt to t;it sgvert. test of making his first ap pearance In Tristan and his first appearance at Bayreuth at one and the same time. Al vary came through the trial gloriously. He has developed into a superb dramatic actor, and showed this especially in the last act, where few of his old friends would have sus pected he would have filled the trying situa tion. Superior to Them AIL While In histrionic powor he may not have reached the high level of Niemann, or the assurance and firmness which experience has conferred on Yogel and Gudehns, vo cally he was superior to them all. Ha is tha first tenor whose voice has been known to hold out to the end of this trying act, which, shakes most men to pieces. More especially was the power of his magnificent chest notes shown in the development of tho climax of the love duo, which easily answered all tha demands mado upon them. He was fortu nate in this scene, too, in having the assist an co of such an artist as Sucher. Frantlo applause broke forth at the close of the ensemble. There wero cheers and bravos, and the scene almost resembled those of an Italian opera house. Calls for the principal singers were repeated with, great persistence, but they were not heeded. Wagner and his law still reign in his house. Men and Women Weep. As only at Bayreuth, real arid profound emotion wa3 manifested throughout the per formance. Ladies were weeping in all parts of the house, and strong men were unable at times to conceal their feelings. Of course the New York contingent are delighted with Alvary's success, and they prophesy that his Tristan will, within a year, become as famous as his Siegfried. After all said and done, tho most powerful element in the production of these effects was the invisible, but ever-present and soul compelling, orchestra. The audience to night was perhaps a more distinguished ono than that of the opening night. Among the nobles and notabilities present were the Archduke Victor of Austria, and Princes of Hesse, Reuss, Schwerin, Wurtemberg and Anhalt. M. Lamoureaux, the famous or chestral conductor of Paris, was there, and among the Americans were Messrs. Stein way, Pohl, Montgomery, Root, Sutro and Spreckels. COMMISSIONERS IN LONDON.

CONGBEGATIONAL COUNCIL. It May Reconvene In the United States in a Few Years. London, July 20. At the Congregational Council this afternoon Mr. Little, of Dor chester, Mass., read a paper in which he con tended that the religions observance of tha Sabbath concerned tho highest duties of tha State. Ho said that the duties of the church regarding Sunday observance were three fold. The first duty was to lead in the mat ter, for unless the Church could save the Sabbath it could neither save itself nor tha world. The second duty was to furnish right teaching on the subject, for there was a wide difference of opinion, and the reason for keeping the Sabbath holy ought to ba given vigorously and maintained.
