C. The Blaine boom goes on merrily. From all parts of the country word comes that the name of Blaine is being cheered to the echo. First it is Indiana, where Blaino gets more ap plause then Harrison; then in the conven tion of the Republican clubs of New York and in almost every county convention in Pennsylvania there is shouting for the'ihva lid of Bar Harbor. In Pennsylvania it is plain to be seen that Quay and Cameron, who haye no great love tor Blaine, but a great deal of hatred for Harrison, are using Blaine's popularity to pull their own chestnuts out of the fire. A Pennsylvania Republican says: "With Quay and Cameron it is any thing to beat Harrison. Xcither of the two has any special love for Secretary Blaine, and in past years hare never been found among the ardent sup porters of the man from Maine. At pres ent, however, owing to his great popularity among the masses of the party, they find Blaine the most convenient point around which to organize an anti-Harrison Penn sylvania delegation. Both Quay and Came ron have determined that Harrison most be defeated, and the plan which is being car ried out is to send a delegation to the con vention which will be for Blaine, or for anybody except Harrison in case positive dcclina tion comes from Mr. Blaine."

The Republican Lcaguo Convention melted away at noon to-day, after a session so light as to give point to the story that they held over to makegood their representations to the hotelkeepers that it would be a two-days' convention. To-da5-'s business was merely the filling of the rest of the offices by the re-election of the incumbents. Then delegates at larce for the national convention were chosen. Henry Glcason and Dr. Derrick were uamed.despite the fdet that the selection of the colored man was opposed for a while in the interest of John W. Weed, ofPlattsburg. The skele ton characterof the second day's convention was shown by the fact that one man essayed to vote for half a dozen clubs. NEBRASKA PROHIBITIONISTS.

RECEPTION" TO M'KINLEY. He Discusj.es the Sliver Coinage and the Tariff Issues. rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 East LiVEarooL, Aug. 6.-Thls evcniiigan informal farewell reception was tendered Hon. AVilliam JIcKinley, -r ho has been the guest of John K. Taylor, in this city, for three weeks past, and intends to leave for Canton in the morning with his wife. To-night bands paraded the streets, and thousands of people gath ered about the Taylor mansion. The campaign was undoubtedly begun here this evening, and In response to loud and re peated calls, the Major stepped out, and sounded the keynote of the campalgn-an honest dollar and a protective tariff. In the course ofhls remarks he said that tho Ohio campaign will be free from bitterness and personalities, as thoc Is nothing to invite thoin. The issues are our "personal pros- perity, business snocess, plenty of labor and good wages paid in honest money. In the campaign that is soon to open there are two overshadowing questions, the cnrrencynd the tariff. The Republican platform declares for an honest dollar; the Democratic platform for a free coinage from trade silver dollars. Free unlicensed coinage of silrer means that every country In the world can dump its silver on us and have it coined at the ex pense of this Government. It means that 80 cents worth of silver in the markets of the world shall become worth $1 when it has the American eagle stamped on it, thus giving them a net profit of 20 cents. The Demo cratic party wants free trade and free sil ver, while the Republican party wants a protective tariff and an honest dollar. After discussing the tariff issues, the Major con cluded and was greeted with hearty cheers. He then gave a short reception to his many friends, who congratulatedlilm on opening the campaign under such favorable circumstances. CAMPBELL'S CAMPAIGN.

PROTESTANT SWAINS BOYCOTTED BY A PARISH PKIEST. He Is Opposed to Mixed Marriages and Be ftues Communion to Girls Going With Protestants One Young Man Ordered to Quit His Girl. rSMXIAL TELEQKAM TO THE DISTATCH.I Mekiden, Conn., Aug. 6. Excitement in the South Meriden Catholic Church over the boycotting of Protestant lovers of girls from the parish by the Rev. Father Moore, is increasing. The priest was to-day asked if he had forbidden the girls from keeping company with Protestant young men. Father Moore said "les." Did you write a letter to George Longden telling him to quit keeping company with a certain young lady?" was asked. "Yes, I did," replied the priest. "I thought by writing him a gentlemanly letter and telling him the ob jections of the church to such a course, he might stop. The parents of the young lady were a little loath to tell him to quit her, and I told them I would. "I have no personal feelings against Mr. Longden. He is a man of good morals, so far as I know, but it is for the future that I am 'ooking. Why, sir, I have been looking over the records ot marriages In this village ana laiesviue iora numoer oi years pasc. and I find some 23 mixea marriages. iJy mixed I mean a union of Catholio and Prot estant. Such unions tend to degenerate the faith on both sides, and, as a rule, generally end in infidelity. Of the 23 marriages I refer to not a child attends any church. So you can Bee how it is." "Did you refuse communion to one of the young ladies on Sunday?" was asked.; "That I consider a matter which belongs to the Church and not to any else," was the reply. "I have not taken up this matter out of personal felling, but am acting more as a Christian clergyman than a sin gle person and am carrying out the mandates of the Church in so doing. The rules of the Church are decidedly against such unions, and I see that ata recent meeting of Protestant min isters in.New York thevoassed rpsnlutlnnn rTo-tbe same effect, or similar. It was to sto tuese so-caiiea mixed marriages. The Cath olic Church permits no such marriage unless under special dispensation and a written statement from the Protestant to allow the Catholic to follow the teachings of our churches." Father Moore said that the young ladles In his parish referred to had promised to give up their Protestant men rather than incur the displeasure of the church. The reporter subsequently saw one of the young ladies, and she said that while Father Moore had administered communion to one young lady he had refused it to her. Still another of the girls had been notlffed by Father Moore that communion would be refused her, so she did not attend. A fourth girl was In the church, but did not come forward. The young lady said that Father Moore or any other man could not stop her from go ing with whom she pleased and that other girls told her the same. They had not promised to give up their young men.

The Inquisition EeYivea to Extort Confessions in Chile DEEDS WORTHY OF THE DARK AGES Fire Hundred Cruel lashes Given to aa Innocent Suspect. LEFT TO DIE, BUT AT IAST BELEASED SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. New Yoke, Aug. 6. The following per sonal narrative of the tortures inflicted under Balmaceda's government upon a. suspect, to force him to a confession of com plicity with the revolutionary party, is given in.an advice received to-day from An tofagasia, Chile. The victim was Senor Barahona, who gained his liberty after a. long confinement in prison, following his torture. "At about 8:30 a. m., on February 28," said Senor Barahona, "I had a brief, friendly conversation with Colonel Des.ide rio Ilabaca at the agricultural scbool in San tiago. "When I was abont to depart Colonel Julio Garcia Videla detained me and had metaken as a prisoner to the barracks of tie Seventh Regiment, wbere a sentinel was placed over me. An hour and a half later Carvalla Orrego, Chief of Police, ap peared and conducted me to police head quarters. Here I was placed in a cell, and Senor Valdes Calderon told me that he would formulate an accusation. He did so, also charging me with having attempted to suborn Colonel Ilabaca and the officers of the Seventh Regiment. I denied the charge and explained that my visit to Ilabaca had for its sole object a friendly chat with an old friend, and was utterly devoid of politi cal significance. A CONFESSION DEMANDED. "Valdes Calderon wonld not accept this ex planation. He declared that I must con fess my guilt and must name the instigators ot my action, wnom he believed to De tne revolutionary committee. He had me put in irons and taken to a dungeon, where he insisted upon a oonfession. Again I pro tested my innocence. Then hchimself hand cuffed me, with my arms crossed upon my back.andmy elbows tied together with ropes. He put a stick through the ropes andbegan twisting it, causing the most horrible pains. After every question and my denial ho gave a turn of the stick, crushing my chest and arms. "In desnair I begged for death, declaring that I would rather die than make such a statement as they were attempting to force from me. Valdes Calderon replied that ho did not care a straw for myltfe, but that he wished to get at the names of those who had commissioned me, and whom he be lieved were the committee. He declared that I should be tortured until I had con fessed, or until I should die. He continued to twist the stick until the ropes broke leaving my body in an indescribable condition. He left the dungeon, but returned almost immediately with his agent, Garrido, and notified me that I should receive 500 lashes. Half an hour later Yaldes Calderon entered the dungeon again accompanied by Garrido and four other men. They stripped me and stretched me on the floor, and the scourging was begun by a tall, powerful man. Thick, crooked sticks were used in the flogging. After every five blows Yaldes demanded the confession, which I refused to make. This was continued until I had received 100 strokes. Then Valdes ordered the men to turn me over on my back, so that my chest and stomach might be lashed. HE WAS LEFT TO DIE. "Finally, angered by not attaining his ob ject, he said: 'Let us make an end of it.' He directed two.soldiers to enter the dun geon. I was ordered to kneel, while the soldiers leveled their guns at me. Then Valdes ordered them, to lift me up. I en deavored to rise, but "my wretched body would not obey my will. Seeing this, Valdes exclaimed: 'Drop him; let him die.' "On the morning of the next day Garrido entered the cell and notified me that the Ministry had ordered a further punishment of 100 lashes, and that I was to be deprived of all food nntll I should confess, or forfeit my life. He said that I would also be sub jected to other tortnres. Garrido seemed touched by my sufferings and expressed a fear that, in my present condition, I would not survive. I replied that they could do as they pleased with me, as I was re signed to anything. About 8 o'clock that evening 1 got a little food. Quarter of an hour later Valdes entered tho cell. He bad tho Irons removed from my feet and the handcuffs unlocked, and I was taken to another cell containing a bed which had been brought irom my house. Valdes said that he had reported to Goday, the minister, that I had resisted every testandthatit was thought convenient at present not to proceed lurther. I was left in solitary confinement, except that a physician came to examine my wounds. I remained for 19 days in bed on account of the injuries I had received. The torture which had been applied to my arms had so affected me that I could not move without assistance. I had been whipped on the cheeks and Unper tins. I do not know whether It was by accident or through In tention. The whipped part of my body re mained one huge swelling. "By tho pressure of ropes, which Valdes had twisted with all his strength, the blood had been impelled to the extremities, mak ing my arms and legs like logs of wood. AVhen-the ropes suddenly snapped the'blood rushed forcibly to the heart and brain, pro ducing a sensation so horrible that I be lieved myself passing through the agonies of death." HOUNDED 10 DEATH.

Last Monday night Caro line Francisco Bartb, a beautiful young lady of 25, swallowed two ounces of arsenic with suicidal Intent and died this morning. Before her death she told her mother she wanted to die because she could no longer stand the slanderous stories told, about her. Xo one seemed to know what was meant by this. The inquest was held and tho whole story was brought out. Miss Barth's conquests in the neighborhood had aroused the jealousy of several young women who a few months ago poured vile valentines through the mall to her, and not satisfied with the filthy doggerel printed, wrote sentences and charges and called her names unfit for publication. A sickness which caused Miss Barth's de tention in a hospital was referred to by uiu pax-uus uuujiuiue iiur in tne most cruel and filthy manner. Sue received a letter too Indecent to be printed signed by "Morrison Whitecaps." Miss Barth did not discover who wrote it, though she said she felt quite positive she knew. Driven to desperation by these taunts and slanders and unbolf e ved by those to whom Bhe tried to explain or deny them, the girl decided to take her life. Though the physicians made desperate at tempts to force a stomach pump into tho young woman's mouth she fought them off, and in her grim resolution to die succeeded in preventing all attempts to save her life.

Parnell will accompany her hus band, making her debut as a politician. Parnell will also be accompanied by at least two of bis followers in Parliament, but a selectio'n has not yet been made. The decision to cross the Atlantic was only made after the return of John O'Con nor, It P. ibr South Tipperary, from America, where be has been laboring as a Parnell delegate. His glowing accounts of his leader's popularity beyond the sea, to gether with several Invitations from power ful political organizations in the United States, finally convinced Parnell that the prospect of a successful tour was sufficiently favorable to warrant his crossing the ocean. Mr. O'Connor is of the opinion that ParneU is sure of nn enthusiastic reception at the hands of the Irish-Americans, and espec ially now that he has again announced defi nitely the absolute independence of action on the part of the Irish representatives in Parliament.

The heat is unprecedented. The standing grain and other crops have succumbed to the long drouth and all are withered and burned. At Sedy the effect of the scarcity of food is being felt, and there is great suffer ing among tho inhabitants of the districts. Many deaths from starvation have been re ported. It is also Impossible to get food for the cattle, the pasture lands being devoid of grass and in many places the streams have dried up, rendering It impossible to get water for them. Horses, cows, donkeys nnd other live stock are dying in large numbers everywhere In the districts. It is not only the poorer classes of the population that are suffering from the scarcity of food. Many natives of the high cast are making application to the authorities for relief to keep themselves and their families from starvation. AIMED AT THE TRIPLE ALLIAKCE. ' Opinions of German Papers on the Pope's Caliensly Decision. Berlin, Ang. 6. The recent decision of tho Pope declining to grant tho application of Herr Cahensly and the St. Baphael societies, praying His Holiness to appoint bishops, in the United States, of the nationality of the majority of the Catholics In the Sees to which the bishons are annointed. Is takon It, a political sense by the German Catholio press. It holds that by declining to accept the proposals made to him, His Holiness in tended to strike a blow at the nationalities represented in the triple alliance, which n-e mainly interested in the St. Raphael so cieties.

On his initial trip to the Democratic South, ex-Senator Ingalls did not have what might be called a very flatter ing reception. A look of supreme disgust overspread his countenance as he found himself compelled to inquire of a policeman the way to the nearest hotel, lugging his own valise.

A Suggestion toe a Handicap Game op Basebaix.- A BOOM IN BONDS. The City Controller's Communication to Councils Commended. WILL BE PUTBEFOEE THE PEOPLE. A Great Financial Question to Be Finally Fixed by Popular Vote. TAB MAYOR IS IN FAYOfi OF THE MOTE By the action of the Finance Com mittee of the city Councils held yester day afternoon the most important financial proposition ever submitted to the people of Pittsburg will doubtless be voted on at the next general election, November 3. The committee, which has all along been divided on the expediency of issuing city bonds in the sum of 52,000,000 in round numbers for the purpose of raising the necessary funds for paying the indebted ness contracted in street improvements under the acts of 1887 and 1889, yesterday decided to submit the question to the people. This result is a great victory for City Controller Morrow and The Dis patch, which he frankly admits convinced him that this was the only honorable and just way out of the difficulty in which the famous Supreme Court decision of last March placed the city. When the Con troller first sent his communication on the subject to Councils, recommending this course of action, it was referred to the Finance, Committee, but found but little favor there. Its only friends on the com mittee were Messrs. Keating, Ford and Paul, the delay in the meantime only mak ing matters worse. PERSISTENT "WOKK OF THE COXTBOLLER. By persistent work the Controller fonght his great battle step by step, both inltbo Councils and in the Legislature, aid there are but few people ,intb,fc,-j cityr to-day-who will seriously queotioathat the electors, win indorse! Ifis scheme by their balratsT' The Controller was quietly enjoying a good cigar. :on his .front porch at his cozy -home on Oakland avenue when a Dispatch reporter called to interview him. He wore a pleasant smile that betrayed great satis faction, and said, as his caller announced the cause of his visit, that liajolt relieved of a great burden. "Yes," he said, "the unanimous action of the committee is very gratifying tome. At the last session of the General Assembly they had before them nn act providing for the settlement of this unfortunate difficulty by the issuance of certificates of indebted ness, and I strangled it by hard work. It would have compelled the city to levy a tax of 11 mills, In addition to the regular revenues to be raised, and it would have made the taxes so burdensome that the people could not have stood it. The Dispatch first convinced me of the wisdom of this plan of disposing of the question. Now, this will goto the people nnd they can say by their votes whether they will stand the increase of about $2,000, 000 In the bonded indebtedness. These bonds will De paid by money received from the properties benefited by building streets and sewers, and tbo funds immediately raised will be expended In paying the debts due contractors. RELTEF IK THE CURATIVE ACT. 'The Supreme Court said that the city must pay these debts. Wo got through the Legislature tho curative act, under which we expect to recover this money from the properties benefited. Under it the Board of Viewers now being appointed by the Judges will make the levies, but every step taken will be fought by able attorneys employed by the very people who receive the benefits. The levies, therefore, may not be paid for years, and it was this feature that made It neces sary to issue the bonds to meet tho difflcnltv. I am not prepared to say that lam confident that the Supreme Court will decide the cura tive act constitutional, but I am reasonably sure that it will do so. If the act is declared constitutional there is not the slightest doubt but that the city will recover all these moneys; but in the mean time we must provide for the payment of the contractors. Every man who did work for the olty will receive his pay. Some have been paid a portion of the amounts due them from taxes collected be. ore the old street laws were declared unconstitu tional. Some people have paid their assess ments even after tuo decision of the Su preme Court, and others are ready to pay as soon as matters are adjusted. Messrs. Woodward and O'Brien, howover, were em ployed to oppose the collection of this money under the curative act, and will leave no legal means untried to have it de clared unconstitutional and to place the enormous costs of the improve ments made under the acts ot 13S7 and 1889 on the city at large. The date fixed for tho vote is general election day, November 8, and this will give time for the people to think about the matter. There was no discussion of the subject In the com mittee to-day, all previously having agreed to support the measure." CATJ3ES OF THE COMMITTEE'S SHIFT. "What brought the opposing 'members around?" was asked. "Well," he replied, with some reservation. "they thought it over, I suppose, and in time became convinced that I was right, which t was. Mayor Gourley was in sympathy with me from the start and gave me good assist ance. "Why this thing came very near sending me to Dixmont at the time tho decision was made," continued the Controller," "and I have not yet recovered Irom the strain on my nervons system. The question is now to be sent to the people and they should fully discuss it. I hope that the city papers will fully explain and discuss it. It must be discussed-by direct taxation on the Issuing of bonds. Tho debt is already con tracted and "the only question now is to snake provision for its payment. It will not increase the debt of the city. We cannot collect from abutting property own ers in time to meet the demands ot the con tractors, and they are entitled to their money." Mayor Gourley was also found at his home on Stanton avenue, and he talked freely on the subject. "Will you approve or veto the ordinance?" TVL3 ASkcd. "Well," replied the Mayor as though slightly embarrassed by the question, "I do not like to say in advance what my action win pe, tiiougn it is wen njiuwn uias a nave been in sympathy ivltu 4he plan suggested by Mr. Morrow. It is a just debt, and tho people who petitioned for improvements on the streets in front of the property should pay it. The bonded debt is now in round numbers, less the money In the sinking fund, about $10,000,000, and this will increase 2wM sf 4 ' X&JJMJ -J - f JL I 'CY.- JtLV Puck. it to $12,000,000. and even at that it wiU be $2,000,000 less than it was a short time age. THE MAYOR EXPECTS A DEFICIENCY. "During the coming year the expenses of tho city government will be unusually heavy, and there Is tilmost sure to be a de ficiency. Thenewflre boat wfll cost ns $4,000, the proposed water tower $3,500 or $4,C00, the two additional hose carriages $2,200, the four new fire engines $20,000, and 50 addi tional men which are to be put on $50,000, running the total of extra expense well up toward $100,000. The regular city taxes will amount to 13 mills, and if you were to add to this II or 12 mills for paying off this street indebtedness it would increase the total to abont 25 mills, which is more than the tax payers could stand to pay In one year." "Will the people vote for the bonds?" "Yes, 1 believe they will after the matter is thoroughly understood by them, and, while I am not much of a lawyer. I believe that the Supreme Court will decide that the curative act is constitutional, for it is cer tainly equity." "Will there be any trouble about the pass age of the ordinance in Councils ?" "I shouldithlnk not; certainly they cannot object to the taxpayers settling for them selves a matter which concerns them so greatly." The matter had been referred to a sub committee, of which W. A. Maeee was Chair man, and after a month of investigation they changed their opinion and yesterday came in with an" affirmative recommendation to the whole committee. They made one or two important amendments to the original bill and as they were satisfactory to the committee they were aporoved. One of these amendments was the provision that tne question oi increasing tne lnueoieoness shall be voted upon nt the regular fall elections, thereby saying the cost of a special election. TEXT OF THE AMENDED ORDINANCE. The ordinance as recommended is as fol lows: "An ordinance authorizing an increase of the indebtedness of the city of Pittsburg to an amount exceeding 2 per cent and not ex ceeding 7 per cent on the last preceding assessed valuation of the taxable property therein with the assent of the electors thereof. "Whereas, The Councils of the city of Pittsburg believe it necessary to increase the indebtedness of said city for the purpose of meeting obligations imposed upon it by the decision of the Supreme Ccurt of the State of Pennsylvania, namely, the paying or levying to be paid the claims of the vari ous contractors for pnblio improvements made by them under contract with sola oity.and "Whereas, The said Councils "believe it Is to the-besf interests of said city to increase the Indebtedness thereof, in a sum sufficient tosecm-a-tl&paitnu'nSof the claims of such contractors, and to Issue bonds or other evidence of indebtedness therefor, extend ing a sufficient time to enable the said city to make collections of such sums as may be assessed upon and become payable by the properties benefited by such Improvements: and "Whereas, By the acts of Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a vote of the qualified electors shall first be had on the question of such increase of indebted ness and authority therefor given. "Section I That the question of increas ing the indebtedness of said city of Pitts burg to an amount exceeding 2 per cent, and out ejtceeuinir t per cent, upon tne last ore- ceding assessed valuation of the taxable property therein shall bo submitted to the electors thereof at the general election to be held on the 3d of November, 1891, In the manner and upon the terms provded and prescribed in an act of Assambly of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania, entitled an act to regulate the manner of increasing the indebtedness of municipalities, to provide for the same and to impose penalties for tho Illegal increase thereof; approved April 20. 187.'" ". After disposing of the above ordinance the committee approved City Attorney More land's appointment as his assistants of Will iam IL House and Thomas B. Carnanan. The appointments met with unanimous ap proval of the committee. Mr. Honse has been for a number of years connected with tho City Attorney's office. Mr. Caraahan is a son of the late K. B. Carnanan, who was one of the leading lawyers of the State, and has enjoyed a successtul career at the bar of this county. The Finance Committee disapproved the resolution to pay Mrs. Julia Devine $1,500 loss sustained by the burning of her dwel ling in the Sixteenth ward about a year ago. She claims that her loss was due to a de ficiency or the city water supply. The sub committee to whom the matter was referred reported favorably on the resolution, but the report was not accepted, it being held that Mrs. Devine's only method of recover ing will be in the courts.

After attending re quiem mass this morning the Catholic Total Abstinence Union assembled for its second day's session. The Committee on Resolu tions presented Its report, wherein it was re solved that in its efforts to overcome the evils of drink on the lines outlined by the Baltimore Catholic Congress, there was no race, no creed, no color, no national distinc tion; Catholic women wore appealed to to imitate the W. C. T. U. and co-operate with them; that public policy does not seem to sanction the sale of liquor at the Chicago World's Fair; nor does it require the exist ence of a traffic privileged to cover this fair land with imported breweries, distilleries and saloons. The following was presented and adopted : "Resolved, That we consider it the duty ofall temperance men tc support candi dates for public office who honestly pledge themselves to labor for the enforcement of Sunday law, closing liquor saloons on that day."

IN A MINOBITT OP OifE. The following minority report was pre sented on the subject Dy W. S. Decker, of Colorado: "I concur in the recommenda tions contained in the address of the Com mander in Chief in reference to difficulties existing in the departments of the Louisiana and Mississippi, and therefore recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: ."Resolved, That the rules andxegulations -be so changed as to authorise the Com mander in Chief to organize de partments of the G. A. R. in departments now existing wheneversatisfled upon proper representation that they may be organized without detriment to tne G. A.

"I believe," said he, "that every colored sol dier has a right to all the privileges that aro accorded to every white soldier In tho G. A. R. This is not drawing the color line. Com rades, I served with a colored regiment, and I want to say to you that no comrade of the G. A.

There are representatives on the floor to-day that went there 10, 12, or U or more years ago and established the G. A. It. in the midst of rebels. As there is a difficulty existing down there, we say to the colored comrades: 'You have your colored churches, you have your colored orders of the Masonic fraternity, you have colored associations in other respects" Hisses. "I move if there be more hisses in the fallery they be cleared," said O'nonnell, of Ulnois. "I am opposed to this minority re port, but I Insist we have fair play here.' "If there Is any more of that from galleries they will be cleared," said the presiding officer. MUST SETTLE THE QUESTION. "Now," resumed Mr. Decker, "if we do not settle this question now, it will be here a year from now, and it will be here continu ally until it is settled according to the con dition of affairs as we find them in Louisi ana, Mississippi, Sonh Carolina and' the Southern States. -Let us say to the Com mander in Chief, as my report which.
