'SUE TACACT LV THE XUWSiL COMMITTEE
TSrECIAL TELEGBAM TO TIIE DISFATCn.1
TorEKA, July 3L In other States of the
TJeion, when a political campaign closes,
the people for a time forget the issues
rhich have divided them and caused neigh
bor to arr.iv against neighbor. This was for
merly the case in Kansas, but 6ince the day
the first sub-alliance was formed in Kansas
the political pot has been boiling. Elections
fettle nothing. This new element in Kansas
politics seems to thrive on defeat as well as
victoiv. One year ago the new party com
menced business in Kansas and it can be
found at the old stand 365 days in the year.
Before this reform movement started the
people of Kansas didn't take much interest
in politics. Once in two years a State elec
tion was held, but a Republican victory was
assured, and aside from a short sparring
match of 30 or 40 days between the two old
parties there wasn't much in a political
way to interest the people.
complete change op programme.
All this is changed, and now it seems
queer that in a State which gave Harrison
and Morton S2.000 majority, it should be
come necessary lor the Republicans to
organize on the Indiana plan and muster
every vote in the various school districts of
the State. The Farmers' Alliance move
ment grew up, as it were, in a day. The
social features of the order caught the young
men and women. The gallant young Han
sen would accompany his best girl to the
sub-alliance meeting or to the Alliance pic
nic, and no nutter how strong his Kepub
lican proclivities, she would capture him
.- pe-le" tic--IIii:r father and the
influence around her were in that direction.
Thousands of young men who cast their
first vote last year were influenced in that
way. Mrs. Lease as she went about over
the State making speeches, advised the girls
to cut loose from their solid fellows if they
did not vote with the Alliance forces.
"Woman's influence in last year's election,
was a winning card and the leaders worked
it for all it was worth.
Like all new movements, however, the
Alliance is now having a hard time of it to
kepp together. There are several things
which are weakening it. With a half
dozen different levers all working at the
camp time it is no wonder the cause is
growing weaker, and many of its followers ,
returning to the old parties.
DEMOCRATS STANDING AlOKE.
Tlie action of the Kansas Democratic
editors in declaring against further fusion
with the People's party is a strong card
against the movement. All of the CO edi
tors who met in Topeka a few days ago have
returned home, and are now whooping it up
for the old party, and fighting any and all
propositions looking toward a combination
of these forces. They say without hesita
tion that if the policy is pursued as was fol
low ed last year in Kansas, there would not
be any Democratic party in the State two
years hence. They realize that to maintain
nny standing with national Democracy
they must get back to safe Democratic
ground, and renounce the sub-treasury
scheme and the Government control of
railroads, which seems to be the corner
stone of the Alliance party in Kansas.
It is generally understood that the recent
meeting of prominent Democrats held in
Topeka was held at the suggestion and di
rection of the National Committee. The
inroads which the Alliance movement
threatens to make in several Southern
States, thereby imperiling Democratic
success in 1S02, calls for earnest and active
work on the part of the Democratic party.
It is believed that it is the intention to
make a square ficht against it in Kansas,
and throttle it in its stronghold. That seems
to be the aim of both old parties.
THE WOI1K 01' THE LEAGLE.
On the 26th of August the Kepublican
State League Convention will be held here
and .7. S. Clarkson, General Hawley, of
Connecticut, ana John M. Thurston are ad
vertised as speakers. League clubs are to
be formed in every township in the State,
and no expense or work will be spared to
revive Republican enthusiasm. Coupled
with this nay be mentioned the Knights of
Reciprocity and the Knights and Ladies of
America, two Republican secret orders
which have captured thousands of members
within the past two months. These orders
seem to be the taking thing for young men
and women, and since the Alliance has be
come an old thing these new orders have
tpeeial attraction and thousands are joining.
Democratic clubs are to be organized also.
Unth old parties are working the club busi
ness thoroughly, and it is not difficult to
foreshadow the result next year if this plan
is carried out until after the election.
The Dispatch correspondent had a talk
v ith Frank McG rath, President of the State
Farmers' Alliance recently in which he said
he was not enthusiastic over the prospects.
He recognizes the fact that if there is not a
general breaking up of the old parties in the
South for the new party movement, there is

little hope of holding ex-Republicans and
ex-Democrats to a third party movement in
Kansas. He said he was honestly and
earnestly engaged in trj ing to build up the
Alliance movement, but that he was through
if it was converted into a Democratic nu
chine. ALL DEPENDS ON THE SOUTH.
"As long as the South plays fair," he
said, "and is willing to give up the old
Democratic party as we have given up the
Republican party in Kansas, we will meet
them half way, but when the Southerners
throw the third party movement overboard'
down there and remain in the Democratic
party, and at the same time expect and urge
a third jarty ticket in Kansas, Nebraska
and other States, then there are a number
of us who will kick, and we will kick hard.
The Southern Alliance fellows have been
talking that the third party movement was
a good thing in Kansas. We think it is,
also, hut we think it would be a rood thing
'in Georgia and other Southern States, If it
is a good thing for Kansas Republicans to
renounce their old party, obliterate sec
tional prejudice ancLjoin in -a movement for
the whole people, why would it not be a
good thing for the Democrats of the South?
They may fool some of our people, hut
there are several they cannot deceive, and
they must play fair or you will hear some
thing drop in Kansas."
l'resident Jlcliratu talked without re-
serve. He has always contended that if a
third party is a good thing for Kansas it is
a good thing for the South, and if the Al
liance men down there cling to the Demo
cratic party, as he believes they will, the
third party strength will dwindle down to
a fine point in Kansas. Especially is this
true if the Democrats of this State carry out
their programme, and win back 75 per cent
of their voters who went into the people's
movement last year.
There are many thousands of voters who
will return to the old parties at the next
election. Democrats are leaving the Al
liance in great numbers, and altogether the
prospect is not very encouraging for the
leaders of the People's party.
CONFERRING WITH QUAY.

STATE POLITICS.
A Report That Thompson Is Now on tho
Slato for Treasurer Andrews Talks
About the National Committee Va
cancy. rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, July 31. All day long
the corridors of the Continental were
crowded with politicians of high and low
degree, all anxious to get a word with Sena
tor Quay and all anxious to discover, if
possible, what the silent statesman's next
move would be. The first arrival at the
hotel this morning was Chairman Andrews.
Quay's resignation, Andrews' probable
withdrawal and the naming of a successor
to Quay in the National Committee are
known to hae been some of the subjects
discussed. During the conference General
Frank Recder, of Easton, entered the room
and immediately joined in the conversation.
"When the talk had been concluded Mr.
Quay entered a hack and was driven to the
Custom House, where he had a long talk
with Collector Cooper.
Later, after a series of nearly two hours'
of short talks with the different leaders who
called, it was whispered in the lobby that
th-i iicLet -s t"ie August cumcntica'wtjulil
be Mylin for Auditor General, Speaker
Thompson for Treasurer and General Frank
Recder for State Chairman. This ticket, it
was said, was Quay's choice "and that would
be the ticket that would go through. John
Morrison was also among the callers. It was
said that he was making an active canvass
for the nomination for State Treasurer, but
was willing to stand in the background for'
the sake ot harmony.
"While State Chairman Andrews was in
the corridor of the hotel he was asked
w he her he contemplated resigning the
State Chairmanship.
"That is a matter that I cannot say any
thing about," was his reply.
"Who will be Senator Quay's successor
on the National Committee?"
"I do not know. "While I have not looked
into the matter carefully, I presume that
the National Committee would recognize
any official action of any body representing
the Republican party in Pennsylvania. In
18S0 Senator Cameron was elected a mem
ber of the Republican National Committee
by the Executive Committee of the Repub
lican State Committee to fill a vacancy.
"When Colonel Goodloe. of Kentucky, was
killed a year ago the vacancv in the present
National Committee was filled by the Re
publican State Committee of Kentucky. In
Illinois this year General George It Davis,
who was appointed Director General of the
"World's Fair, resigned from the National
.Committee and his successor was elected bv
the Illinois Republican State Committee.
While I do not recall any rule governing
the case, not having looked the subject up,
I should think that cither the State Con
vention or the State Committee could fill
the vacancy until the next National Con-,
vention meets."

fSrrCIAL TELEGEAM TO THE DISPATCH-.!
Columbus, July 3L Major McKinley,
Republican candidate for Governor, came
from Lakeside this afternoon, and has been
in consultation with Chairman Hahn. The
principal business is the arrangement of
dates where McKinley will speak. The
dates now arranged are for Grand Army
events, agricultural fairs, and other occa
sions, all of which could not be considered
in the line of political engagements. It
was decided that the regular speaking cam
paign should open August 22, at Niles,
Trumbull county, when McKinley will de
liver ins opening speech.
McKinley expressed himself highlygrati
fied over the outlook in the State, and he
has no doubt as to bis election. The wool
men, he says, are pleased with the workings
of his bill and he will get the solid
Eupport of that element On the question
of the Senatorship, he wished to emphasize
the point he is not a candidate and will not
permit the use Jf his name. The Farmers'
Alliance is the only uncertain element from
the standpoint of "McKinley, and he says
he has information from over the State
which leads him to believe it will not affect
his chances in the least.
DISGUSTED WITH LODGE.
Bay State. Republicans at Open War With.)
the Smooth Congressman.
fSrtCIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Boston, July3L The Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge is reaping the reward of a long season,
of petty tyranny and bossism which he has
exercised over his brother Congressmen.
The first installment came to-day in a vig
orous snub from Congressmen Rockwell
Cogswell and Walker, who resigned from
the Committee on Resolutions rather than
be associated in any way with Mr.
Lodg;e, the Chairman of the con
vention. Mr. Lodge has ridden
such a high horse in Washington that his
fellow-Congressmen could not associate
with him. When the State Committee
placed the reins in Mr. Lodge's hands the
discontent became active, and the Republi-
w
can party managers are now trving to patch
up the biggest fupture which "has occurred
in many a day. ,
The only thing that will put an end to the
squabble will be Mr. Lodge's retirement,
but as he is laying his wires for Senator
Hoar's seat, it "is extremely daubtfulif he
releases his grip on the party machinery.
There is every prospect that Governor Rus-'
sell will be re-elected'with Colors flying,
while the Republican candidate will be
slaughtered, in order to force 'Dictator
Lodge into private life.

rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.!
Erie, July 3L There has been a quiet
contest in progress in this section of the
State for some time between the friends of
Dalzell and Robinson. An emissary who
came from the Lincoln Club delegates went
back home disappointed. Although the
delegates have not been chosen as yet, the
club is outspoken for Robinson.
The Meadville Republican Club elected
their delegates last evening, and 40 proxies
were sent over from Erie, and the Robinson
delegates were elected by a large majority.
Everything is for Robinson in this section
of the State.

McKay Knocks All Judicial Precedents in

Own Hands His Cranium Badly
Swollen From Fulsome Praise.
v rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCII.l
Topeka, Kan., July 3L G. W. Mc
Kay, the Alliance Judge of the Twenty-
fourth judicial district, who was brought
before the Supreme Court lasi week and
reprimanded for ignoring its decisions, has
again violated all judicial precedents, and
the 'itt.rj?i.ys s otAiij btepsto, liiv6 im
peachment proceedings commenced. When
McKay was released by the Suprcne Court
the reform newspapers throughout the
State complimented him for the stand he
had taken, and declared that tho people
would see him safely through all of 'bis:
trouble.
This action seems to have turned his head.
Immediately upon his return home from
Topeka to his district court, McKay set
aside all the judgments which had been
rendered by the special judge elected by the
bar to preside over the court while he was
answering the contempt charges against
him. A mortgage case which he bad taken
under advisement several months before
was immediately decided against a loan
company, which had instituted the suit, and
when amotion for an appeal was filed he
took it under advisement.
It is thought he will refuse to act on the
motion till the case will be brought before
the Supreme Court, which will be in four
years. In the meantime the farmer will re
main in possession of the mortgaged prop
erty. Dispatches from his district say he
has the united support vf eveYy sub-Alliance,
and that they are determined to keep
him in office. Resolutions adopted by the
Harper County Sub-Alliance declare that
they have found a judge who is honest, and
there is a disposition all over the State to
make a hero out of him because he had not
read law.
He is already being mentioned for the
Supreme bench, and the whole Alliance ma
chinery seems to be at his back. It will be
impossible to impeach McKay before the-
present Legislature, as it is controlled by;
me finance.

Culvers Depot, Coney Island, N. y.,
July 31. The bear is still at large at
Gravesend Beach as far as known. It is
very probable now that he is exhausted
after the hunt of Tuesday night, and slept
all day Wednesday. Engineer Bob Robin
son, of the Brooklyn and West End Rail-
road,says he saw the "critter" on Wednesday!
night. It was coming right down the center
of thetrack toward the approaching train.
It jumped off the track when, the engine
was within ten feet of it. The muzzled
bear must be dead or dying in the swamps.
Since Tuesday night it could not have had
a bite.
Jonathan Van Wart, owner of the yacht
Lottie, returned home from a two weeks'
fishing cruise on Thursday night. He had
heard nothing of the bear. He pulled out
his pistol when in front of Steve Morris'
house and blazed away. This is his cus
tom of letting his wife know of his return.
The report had scarcely died away when a
window in the upper story of Morris'
house flew open and anight-capped head in
quired, "Did yer git him?" "Git who,
what?" answered Van Wart. Then Morris
came down and told the story. Van Wart
made for home immediately.

"WORLD'S VFAIR' COMMISSIONERS WORK
'COPTniGHT, 1SS1, BY.THE SEWTOKK ASSOCIATED
PBESS.l
London, July 31. Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien's repudiation of Pamell, though a
foregone conclusion,, has profoundly de
pressed the Parnellites, who relied upon a
belief that both would suspend a public pro
nouncement, Mr. Parnell sought, through
private cqmmunications made on the eve of
their release, to resume negotiations, but
neither responded to these secret overtures.
Mr. Parnell hoped until the last moment
yesterday that he would again entangle
them in maneuvers for a reunion. Their
prompt and decisive declarations as soon as
they were outside the prison doors, and
their refusal to listen to any advances from
the Parnellites, fell like a death blow upon
the faction.
The last flicker of hopewent out when tue
Lord Mayor of Dublin and other devotdd
Parnellites vainly tried to induce Mr.
O'Brien, who was supposed to be more duc
tile than Mr. Dillon, to reconsider the posi
tion. Mr. O'Brien bluntly declined a re
newal of the Boulogne negotiations or any
approach thereto.
MOKE PARNELL DESEETIONS.
When the attitude of the released leaders
became definitely known, the chief Dublin
Parnellites held a meeting privately and
had a warm time disputing over the course
they should take. An intimation reached
them of the desertion of tb.e party organs in
Dublin and Belfast, and several members of
the Pamellite committee withdrew, leaving
the steadfast adherents to pass a resolution
denouncing Dilldh and O'Brien, and urging
Mr. Parnell not to yield.
To-day Mr. Parnell telegraphed to the
committee that defections on every side
would not make him alter his course a hair's
breadth. He proposes on Sunday to speak
at Thurles, the strongest ecclesiastical
center in Ireland, probably to hurl defiance
anew at the bishops and to prophesy his
future triumph. To fill up the gaps left
in the committee by the deserters another
directorate-is forming, aspiring to found a
daily paper on the "Parnell pence" prin
ciple. MAY IKY FENIAN METHODS.
The one Dublin evening organ remaining
faithful appeals to the party to rally, and
not'to succumb to stage fright because they
have lost O'Brien. But the truth now pen
etrating the stoutest Parnellite hearts is
that their cause is nigh extinct, nd that it
will be useless to continue the struggle. If
continued, it will no longer have a constitu
tional character. The composition of the
League sections now adhering to Parnell
points to the reversion of the faction to the
old Fenian type. It is safe to predict that
Parnell will soon appeal for the support -of
revolutionary partisans abroad.
The Government training college bill,
which emphatically proposes to endow two
laree Catholic colleges in Dublin and one
very minor Protestant cglhjga, has caused a I
just in principle, the bill to raUed sectarian
jealousies that it threatened to protract the
session and even to Bhake the position of the
Ministry. Mr. Balfour, however, skillfully
resorted to a plan to provide the capital for
the colleges from the funds at the disposal
of the Irish Education Board. Tlie bill, ,
-therefore, can be postponed.
THE PAEIS FUND AGAIN.
William O'Brien was finally adjudicated
a bankrupt to-day at the instance of Lord
Salisbury. He will come to London on
Monday to try to arrange a conference with
Messrs. Parnell and McCarthy in regard to
the Paris fund. Mr. McCarthy, at the in
stance of Mr. Parnell, already agrees to tlie
withdrawal of 5, 000 to meet legal expendi-,
tures incurred when the party was united.!
Whatever Mr. O'Brien's plan may be, there
is small hope that Mr. Parnell will assent
to the release of the fund unless he shall be
permitted to control its disposal.
His personal embarrassment does not ap
pear to have been relieved by marriage.
He has made an extraordinary claim against
Captain O'Shea for 5,600 advanced to him
between beptember, lBba, and .November,
1890 partly during the period of the di
vorce proceedings. Captain O'Shea denies
the debt Curious disclosures are expected
on Mr. rarnell's attempt to prove the
claim. MIE TAIE COMMISSIONERS' 'VrOr.K.
The Chicago Fair Commissioners have ar
ranged to proceed from Paris to Berlin to
morrow. Minister Phelps has made an en
gagement to "present them to General von
Caprivi at the Chaneellerie Tuesday. Sub
sequently a reception will be given to the
commissioners. Minister von Boetticher,
Chancellor von Caprivi, Count Rottenburg
and Imperial Commissioner Weirmuthhave
accepted invitations to a dinner in honor of
the commissioners, to be given at the house
of Minister Phelps. Preparations are being
mode to give the commissioners a hearty
welcome at all the German centers.
The officials of the Board of Trade are
watching the methods of inquiry of the
United States Emigration Commissioneis.
It is believed that the inquiry will result
in the appointment of American inspectors
at all the landing English ports, with some
system of Consular supervision. A high
official of the board says that the English
Government officers will be instructed to
co-operate with the Americans to secure re
form for regulating the tide of emigration.
ENGLAND'S IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.
Although publicly protesting that there
is no necessity for a special provision
against the influx of destitute aliens, the
Government s using the utmost rigors ot
the existing law to stop' the settlement of
foreign paupers in England. Customs
officers board all vessels on arrival, and
refuse to allow apparently destitute persons
to land unless they are able to produce
proof that they have means of sustenance,
or can give the addresses of friends.
An official inquiry has resulted in the
disclosure of systematic frauds on the part
of Hebrew emigrants from Russia. Pass
ports manufactured here have been sent to
Russia to enable Hebrews to evade the pay
ment of 10 levied upon each permit to
emigrate. Fraudulent addresses have also
been sent to enable emigrants on arrival to
evade investigation bv the English officials.
The facts connected with the narrassing of
immigrants in Ireland are becoming widely
known on the Continent,and assist in check
ing the inflow.
NOTES FROM ENGLAND'S CAPITAL.

Lisbon, July 31i This morning at 5
o'clock the Presidente Errazuriz, well
manned, coaled and provisioned, left Lisbon
for Chile. The intrigues and false reports
of the insurgents have not been able to pre
vent her going. The cruiser has 200 Chilean
-sailors on board. The few European vol-,
unteers will remain at a port on the At
lantic, where the rest of-the crew awaits'the
cruiser's arrival.
The cruiser Presidente Pinto, which
stranded when leaving Toulon, has been
floated again without having suffered any
inj ury. The cruiser will get ready to leave
Toulon immediately to complete it3 pre
parations and continue its voyage to Chile
at once. The Chilean Government has sent a
complete crew to meet the cruiser, with
whom it will continue its voyage to the
Pacific.
A dispatch from Coquimbo, Chile, says
that the Government forces stationed there
have been increased by the recent arrival of
a reinforcement of 2,000 men from Val-
Earaiso. The insurgents will have to fight
ard to take the town.
The Esmeralda and Aconcagua, of the
insurgent fleetj have got their party into
serious complications by detaining on the
high sea the British bark Pedro Peral.
The Peral was bound for Coquimbo with a
cargo of flour when the two insurgent war
ships came up with and boarded her. They
towed her for some distance north when
they released her. In the meantime news
of the action of the insurgent vessels'
reached Coquimbo, and the British corvette
Garnet was j,ent in pursuit The Peral,
however, arrived before the Garnet had a
chance to come up with, the insurgent ves-,

Notwithstanding All Official State
ments to the Contrary.
AN EFFORT TO KEEP -IT QUIET,
Because of the Difficulty in Properly Filling
the Place.
OFFICIAL PAP TO BE USED WITH CARE
fSPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCII.l
Washington, July 31. Notwithstand
ing the denials that come from Cape .May
and from department officials in Washing
ton, that Secretary Noble has tendered his
resignation to tho President, there is the
very best authority for saying that the
Secretary has notified the President that he
desires to retire from the Cabinet The
resignation was not made in the usual
formal way, to be acted upon at once, but
the President has been asked by General
Noble to retire him, and Mr. Harrison has
promised to do so as soon as he can look
about him and find the proper person to
place at the head of the Interior Depart
ment There is no doubt of the accuracy of thi'
statement. It is because the Preside
finds the utmost difficulty in making C
recast of his Cahinetmade necessary by No
vble's withdrawal, that he wished the im
pression to go abroad that there has been no
resignation. He does not wish to be bur
dened at this time with the task of listening
to the appeals of the politicians in behalf,
of various candidates.
ENOUGH TO -WDRET ITOI NOW".
The President has worry enough upon
his mind, and if it became known that there
was a vacancy in" the Cabinet the remainder
of his vacation at Cape 3Iay would be made
a weary one. Hence the denial is sent out
It can be stated with positivencss, on the
authority of a man who knows just what he
is talking about, that as soon as the Presi
dent finds himself ready to make a new
Cabinet slate General Noble will bid good
by to the Interior Department. Secretary
Proctor will resign in a few months, and the
President desires to fill both vacancies at
the same time. Secretary Noble is not dis
posed to hurry matters so far as he is per
sonally concerned. He is away on a long
vacation, and he is only anxious that his
office be turned over to another before the
serious department work of the fall and
winter months shall be resumed.
Secretary Noble, it is well known, would
be very much pleased to get one of the
judgeships on the new Court of Appeals
bench, and it has long been understood that
the President is willing to gratify his de
sire in this regard. "
some good cards to play.
With two cabinet portfolios and nine fat
judgeships at his disposal, President Harri
son has a good many trump cards, and he
has undoubtedly determined to play a game
of shrewd politics with them. His con
ciliation or attempted conciliation of Tom
Piatt by the appointment of Sloat Fassett
as collector is the first step in his policy of
strengthening his big hand for the great
game to be played in 1892, attd by going
slow and carefully surveying the situation
he can use his Cabinet offices and nine
judgeships to great advantage in conciliat
ing more enemies and shelving one or two
ambitious statesmen whose eyes are set
upon the White House.
Harrison will plainly show his hand when
the tuae comes for maHug these appoint
ments, if he has not already done so. The

ident of the League of Republican Clubs,
and acting Chairman of National Republic
an Committee, is in the mouths of -everyone
to-day as the probable successor to Noble in
the Interior Department
clarkson cannot take it.
Mr. Clarkson's friends state very emphat
ically, however, that he would not think of
accepting another place under the Harrison
administration. He became a member of it
on its organization, with the hope, if not by
understanding, that he could soon be promoted-to
a Cabinet place. Being disap
pointed he resigned and allied himself with
the organizations who seem bent on doing
anything else but securing the renomination
of Benjamin Harrison.
Clarkson could not afford to break with
these men now, even if he felt somewhat
disposed to be tempted by the allurements
of a Cabinet office. He has joined with the
men who mean to nominate Blaine or Alger
or McKinley, or some one else whose name

CARDINAL GIBBONS' NEBVE.
He maintains a Cool Demeanor In a Very
Exciting Runaway at Baltimore.
TSPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCII.3
Baltimore, July 3L Cardinal Gibbons
and Father Dougherty were driven through
Druid Hill Park last evening by the Car
dinal's coachman, James Martin. The
horses, a pair of high-spirited steppers, had
not been exercised much during the Car
dinal's stay at Cape May. Just before
reaching the gate a fractious animal ridden
by a boy caused the Cardinal's horses to
swerve, and the driver had not fairly
brought them down when a cycler shot
across the narrow path directly in front of
tho carriage and the already frightened
horses started off on a run. Martin clung
to the reins, but all efforts to stop the
animals were fruitless.
Just before reaching the entrance he
pulled the off rein sharply so as to drive
them into the wall. Instead the wheels of
the carriage struck the stone coping,partly
tearing away a side, but bringing the run
aways to a halt. The Cardinal was cool and
collected throughout, and when he stepped
ftqm the carriage he complimented the
driver on his nerve and warmly shook his
hand. Neither he nor Father Dougherty
was injured.

of all the charges preferred against him, de

Elder Brice, however, had in his posses
sion the letter which Comer had written to
Mrs. Tappen in April, in which he ad
dressed her as "Dearest Pet," and made an
appointment to meet her at the residence of
Frank Breese, in Metuchor. Comer tried
to make the Elder believe that the letter
was written to his wife, from whom he was
separated, but letter itself refuted this state

but resulted in Comer being held for a trial
by the Conference of which he'is a member.

Amalgamated Officials Array Them
selves Against Importation!
MR.'NEIDRLNGHAUS' CURT REPL17
-An Explanation as to Why the Strike at
Steelton Was lost.
GEIST OF A DAI FB03I LABOR'S HILH
If F. G. Niedringhaus or any other tin
plate manufacturer desires to import for
eign workmen for that industry, he will
first have to prove that it is impossible to
secure competent workmen in this coun
try. The efforts of the Amalgamated Asso
ciation officials are now directed toward
proving that there are enough men in Amer.
ica who are thoroughly acquainted with the
business, and who have been only waiting
for the industry to be established in order
to seoure employment
Officials of the association have gathered
considerable interesting data lately, and a
remark dropped yesterday by Assistant
President Garland would indicate that tho
association will array itself in an open
fight against the wholesale importation of
workmen, as suggested by Mr. Neidring-
haus. Less than five day3 have been
spent gathering this data, and Mr. Garland
claims to bo able now to call together
within a few days' time more men than
would be required to operate all the plants
that will be in operation for the next two
years, and in the meantime new men could
be taught the trade.
TWO EEASONS FOE THE OPPOSITION.
There are two reasons why the associa.
tion will oppose this importation. One U
that the officiate differ from the ruling of
Superintendent Owens, of the Treasury De
partment, on the grounds that the importa
tion of any class of foreign workmen
is a violation of the contract labor
law. The other is that the said importa
tion of cheap foreign labor would deprive
American citizens of better paid employ
ment to which they are justly entitled be
cause of their citizenship. These objections
to bringing foreign tin plate workers are
the ones outlined by Assistant President
Garland himself yesterday. Continuing oa
the subject Mr. Garland said:
There can be no doubt that enough work
men can be had to supply the demand for
this kind of labor. We have it from W.
C. Cronemeyer himself that he has appli
cations on file from 30 skilled workmen, all
of whom he is compelled to refuse employ
ment because his force is fulL One of our
men at Apollo, named Morgan, is our
authority for the statement that there ar
several hundred former tin plate workers
engaged in other branches of the sheet
business in and around Pittsburg.
PLENTY OF MEN ELSEWHERE.
"We have just received information that
there is a large number in and about
Wheeling. George A. Evans, a sheet mill
roller of Bridgeport, O., who was a mem
ber of our conference committee this year,
came from the tin plate district of Wales
and he is reliably informed on tho
subject He is in possession of
scores of names of available people who
could be secured in a short time. Mr. Rees,
of Preble avenue, Allegheny, can get 20
men in Woods' Run who are thoroughly
acquainted with the business, and there are
many others in this vicinity."
It was learned from another source that
the force of workmen employed in Oliver's
South Tenth street mill includes a large
number of tin plate workers.
Vice President Sheehan, who was present
when Mr. Garland gave the above informa
tion, corroborated everything the Assistant
President said, and then added:
"I think this is conclusive proof that it
is not necessary to import tin plate work
men. In the first place, there are not manv
needed. Suppose the average sheet mill
has three trains of rolls. The output of one
mill would be in the neighborhood of 18
tons of plates 27 gauge.
THE NUMBER OF MEN NEEDED.
"Well, 35 boxes is considered a. good
day's work for one man. A box of tin
we'ighs 112 pounds. At that rate thera
would only be material enough in tho
product of an entire sheet mill with three
trains of rolls to employ six men, but as
there are three men employed on each
stack, it would, as a matter of fact, give em
ployment to 18 men.
"So you see less than 20 men will con
sume the entire product of any ordinary
mill. While I am satisfied that there are
enough men here to do all the work there
is to do, I would grant, for the sake of an
argument, that there were only half enough.
It would be an easy matter to teach the oth
er American workmen the trade. It is very
simple. Any man of ordinary intelligence
can learn the business in a few months.
Boys are only required to serve an appren
ticeship of one year in Wales. There are
only three branches to learn listing, wash
ing and tinning, and when those are learned
a man is a skilled workman. Mr. Demm
ler tells us that he has taken men from the
coal mines and made good tin plate workers
out of them.
something back op it all.
"You can therefore rest assured there is
something more than a mere claim, that
skilled workmen cannot be had here, back
of the openly avowed purpose to import
tin plate workmen. The manufacturers
know that men are idle in Wales, with
slim prospects of ever getting back at their
old trade. They know, too, that thee
men would jump at an opportunity
of coming here at a slight advance
over what was paid them in Wales. That
price was G cents a box, while the price
here is double that amount If a plant em
ploying 20 men would secure foreign work
men at 7 cents, it would save over 58,000
in a year, as compared to what it would
cost to operate the same plant with Ameri
can citizens. The scheme is very plain.
The manufacturers prefer the foreign work
men to American citizens, because their
pay rolls would be less."
A gentleman livingat Hubbard, 0.,writes
under the date of July 30 to The Dis- .
PATcn:
"Touching the controyersv regarding the
rate of wages to be paid tlie tin men anil
the wash men making tin plates in this
country, I present you with the following
facts:
