tSrlCIAL TTLEGnAM TO THE DISPATCH.
SCRAXTOS, Sept. 23. John B. Eobinson,
he of the bangs and goatee, is President of
the I'ennsjhania League of Eepublican
Clubs, Limited. The adherents of the
Western candidate, under the vigorous
leadership of C. L. Magee, made a lively
fight to the finish, but without avail.
The convention was held in a low, stuffy
room with long, narrow windows. The
heat wa soon powerful enongh to bake
bread, but the enthusiastic delegates and the
lew spectators that could be admitted en
dured the torture with fortitude. The
greatest dissatisfaction prevailed over the
tmrl room, and the excluded clubmen
Flood in a big crowd outside the door and
kicked their toes against the cold brick
walls.
The Executive Committee had no tise for
llictn, and they talked of holding a conven
tion of their own. There was no lack of
brains or material among the banished, for
Leagvc PresiJent John B. Robinson.
they had with them such men as ex-Chief
Justice Gordon, ex-Attorney General Pal
3ner, Wilhelm, of York, aud many others.
Indeed, the substantial and respectable ap
pearance of the excluded representatives of
all factions was the common subject of
comment.
A Protest That Trored Useless.
Headed by Judge Gordon, a protest
against ihe 'onduct of the Executive Com
mittee was prepared and freely signed. It was
presentcJ to the Committee on Resolutions
ny Mr. Wilhelm, but in the end it proved
useless. The hot-headed Eobinson people
trampled upon then without giving them
an opportunity to explain on the floor of
the convention.
Tlie Pittsburg contingent sat to the right
of President Stuart and close to the stage.
Dalzell and C 1 Mpgcc occupied adjoin
ing feat, and nevt to Majec was the stalwart
Senator Neeb Mr. Magee esrlj-discoered
tlie temper of the contention aud it brought
out of him a igorous protest.
A committee of 15 was appointed on
resolution C. L. Magee, Senator Xeeb,
and Harry Hal!, of fiercer, were from
"Weilcrn Pennsylvania. It was not to be
expected that D.ilrell would accept tlie
action of the Executive Committee without
a fight to reverse it. Mageccarried the war
nto the camp of the resolution committee,
imdhe did so well that a compromise mo
tion was passed by winch 45 more clubs
would have been admitted if the conven
tion had been lulling to sustain the coin
uittee. Conversion or a Committee.
Of the IS members at the start only three
were in fuvor of a more liberal policy about
the adnns-ion of clubs. Tncse were Sen
ator Necli, jTnnner Tusgurt, of Montgomery,
and C L Magi-e. Scarcely had General
I'rant Ilieiier called the committee to order
when Mr. Magee moved that the time for
enrollment ot permanent clubs be extended
from July 10 to September L The trio
used powerful arguments, and a general
wrangle Mas indulged in until 1 o'clock,
Mhen they adjourned for lunch.
J. Leering Jones, of Philadelphia,
offered a rt solution authorizing the admis
sion of all clubs whose delegates would
Mi ear that thet had been organized in good
faith As turn drairced along wearily, and
Messrs Ta-art. Magec and eeb held their
ground witn bulldog tenacity, 'the other
members limbered up a little and were will
ing to compromihP. J. Schall Wilhelm. of
ork, and Mr. Zerbe appeared and made a
plea for a number of clubs who had made
joruiil application, paid ttfeir dues, were
accepted, but through blunders were not
enrolled. Judge Gordon intended to be
jirccnt and assist the gentlemen in their
cJflorts to secure recognition, but he was not
feeling m ell and could not be there.
Tlio l!an Proposed by 31agec
Then Mr. Magee handed in this:
JJcolved, Ilythe Contention of tlie State
Iteo f Kepunlican Clubs, in session at
t-crnnton, stptembor 2 1S91, that all Repub
lican clubs, resulaily aud permanently oi-
I'll
pnnlzed, and in existence previous to the
16tn day of July, JS91, wlio have made
jn-oper application for membership in tlie
State League, shall be entered on tlio official
list of clubs and be permitted to a repre
sentation in tills convention.
It was finally carried by a vote of 10 to 4.
t This was quite a victory as it provided for
tlie aumission ot 40 ciuos, oi wmen number
about six would come from Allegheny
county. Those who opposed the resolution
"were General Ileeder, C. W. Talbot, John
C Meyers and ex-Sheriff "W. E. Leeds.
Thecommittee then prepared the usual
platform reaffirming tlie fidelity of the
league to the principles of the Eepublican
party. The work of the State Convention
was approved. One plank was devoted to
praise of Gregg and Morrison. They were
assured that the delegates would go home
and give efficient service for the success of
the ticket.
The Harrison and Blaine Tlank.
The plank indorsing Harrison and Elaine
was similar to the one adopted at Harris
burg. It read: "We commend the work
of the national administration, and pure,
jiatriotic and able services of President
licnjainin Harrison, and the brilliant for
eign policy of that great leader, the Secre
tary ot State, Hon. James G. Blaine. His
brilliant triumphs at the head of that de
partment have made the uplifted power
I aad the displayed flag of the Eepublio
synonym, for strength and stability in all
the corners of the world."
It was nearly four o'clock when the Com
mittee on Eesolntions made its appearance
in the convention. In the meantime the
delegates amused themselves by howling
lor speeches from everybody" in sight.
There were lusty cries of"Blaine, Blaine,
J8mes G. Blaine,"" and after that the entire
convention varied tlie proceedings . by
whistling "Marching Through Georgia."
When General Eceder read the "inde
pendent resolution," as he called it, about
the admission of clubs there was great con
fusion in the convention. Meade Det
teiler, a verdant young man from Harris
burg and a Eobinsonite, moved to lav it on
the table. This was seconded in a jiffv by
another Eobinson adherent. Then Magee
arose and his voice sounded above the dim
and racket
Tlie Crisis of the Contest.
The crisis had come, and the squall that
had been brew ing all dav was ready to
break. The bitter feeling at this stage was
intense. Mr. Magee asked Detweiler to
withdraw his motion to give him an oppor
tunity to explain the action of the Commit
tee on Resolutions. The auburn hair youth,
in a rather flippant manner, replied that tho
motion had been made and seconded, and
he insisted on an immediate vote. Then
JIagce, with flashing eyes, shouted: "I call
for the roll on that gag motion. I urn a fico
Republican, nnd want an opportunity to
i otc on that question."
The effect of this short, enenretic sneech
nas thrilling.and for a moment the Robin
son crowd, In their unseemlv haste to ru-h
thincs through, were checked. Dalreil's ad
herents cheered to the echo, and the first
real lively interest In the proceedings was
taken by everybody. President Stuart
warned the convention that only delegates
were allowed to vote. The tally sheets were
carefully scanned as the vote was taken.
It was the first nnddecisive test of strength,
and the fate of the motion settled the elec
tion to the Presidency. The Americas Club,
headinc tho Allegheny list, was called.
Harry Paul voted against tho motion to
table. The Dalzell delegates applauded
vigorously.
Allegheny Clnbs With Robinson.
Tho Don Cnmeron, Sewickley Republican
and Seventeenth Ward Lincoln Republican
clubs voted yea. It was the turn for the
Robinson people to howl and they did It
with a will. The Lackawanna clubs were
with Dalzell and solid against tho motion.
This was the opportunity for tho Pittsburg
crow d, and they yelled and stamped like In
dians. Knch side applauded throughout the
calling of the roll as interest dictated. The
Young Republican and Pennsylvania clnbs
were among tho rlrst organizations to stand
by Dalzell The Robinson people hissed,
and a Dnlzcllltc shouted "Good boy."
When tha Pittsburg Delamater Gnards r
were called. President Stuart said they had
not paid their dues, and could not "vote.
Scott and Foster, the delegates, pi o tested
that tho money had been pent to Philadel
phia. W. W. Colvillo said this was true, as
ho bad attended to it for them, bnt it was
returned, and the application refused as Ir
regular. Secretary Lindsey got tho floor,
and he shouted excitedly "The money w as
not accepted, because the club was against
Robinson." "It's a lie," somebody yelled.
Hisses, proans and general confusion fol
lowed. The Delamater Guards were not
allowed o vote, but they cave the other
side a great deal of trouble before the con
vention adjourned. The colored men got in
a number of licks that rankled.
Tho Last Effort to Secure Recognition.
The motion to table was carried by a vote
of 123 to CG. Mr. Magee subsided and no
further efforts were made to secure recog
nition for excluded clubs. Many of tho
clubs that voted against the motion did not
support Dalzell for the Presidency.
Major Morclaud placed the Pittsburg
candidate's name before tho convention.
In opening he said: "We have assembled to
electa President of the Republican League
of the State, not to ratify an appointment
already made. We are here to make decrees,
not, like the statue of Memnon, to murmur
at those of others. We are here to empha
size the fact that there is a vast diflerenco
between loyalty to the principle of u party
and vassalage to men; that independent and
manlv thoucht and action repel the idea of
servitude. Wehave learned that fetters pro
duce testers and festers produce poison. We
shall strike down tho fetters, prevent the
poison and buvo the party if we are wise
enough to profit by the past, and bold
enough to declare our Republicanism. We
have grown tired of the oft-iepeated senti
ment that the party is srreater than the man.
Let us show this day that sentiment mei-god
in an accomplished fact, and that fact fnll
of the force that comes from tho earnost
declaration of bold and thouchtful men.
"The past is fnll of memories of defeats
defeats that are not lessened or lightened in
their effects from tho consciousness that tho
party did its best and made its wisest choice,
but made the heaviei to bear because it was
in our power to prevent and nvoid them.
The present is fullof hope and promise. No
cood reason exists why triumph should not
be complete; tho future summons us to large
effort, and is to yield rich returns only as wo
shall prove worthy of them by cautioug.con-
bervativc and patriotic action in tho pres
ent." Compared TVlth Prince Rupert.
Then the orator became even more flowery
and continued. "1 present to you a man
hiving the fiery z cut and couraso of aPrinco
Rupert, tempered by tho sober and Intelli
gent judgment of a Somers; a scholar
through taste and education: a boy of tho
public school aud the masses; if not wear
ing a coronet in the peerage of poverty, he
was not born to the purple of power. A
la j er by choice and profession, ho easily
lorged to the very front rank, and in but a
few j ears stood among the first and ablest
in tho profession. Throughout the State ho
has established a Reputation of which any
man might be proud. Ardent, sanguine,
courageous, with a capacity of labor simply
marvelous.. eloquent, concise and masterful
in argument, it was not long until his pow cr
was felt and recognized not alone in tlie en
tire pi ofession, but by men in all walks of
life. Entering the aiena of politics when
his faculties and powers were In their rich
est bloom, ho studied, as he did bis profes
sion, tlie science of higher politics which we
call statesmanship.
"Scarcely had he entered the halls of our
National Congress until the men of that
body recognized that a man of superior
pow er was among them They realized that
the laurels of Miltiades would not suffer
them to sleep, and. if they would win, they,
too, must work and wait: that this young
man fiom the western slopes of Pennsylva
nia had in him the metal of which oratois
and statesmen and lawyers are made. At
tracting immediate attention and command

his constituents felt that their large and
greatly di ei silled interests were safe in tho
hands of their leprescntative."

The address of William J. Shacffer, of Del

equally enthusiastic. In conclusion he said:
"In Ohio the command 'Forward,' ringing
from the lips or the Xapoleon of the pro

OHIO'S JOINT DEBATE.
McKinley and Campbell to Meet in
Oratorical Combat October 8.
THE GOVERNOR IN LUCK AGAIN.
lie Wins the Toss and Will Both Open and
Close the Argument.
EEPUBLICANS DECLINE MORE OP THEM
ffrrciAt, teixoham to tite dispatch, i
Columbus, Sept. 21 The final arrange
ments for a joint debate between Governor
Campbell, on behalf of the Democracy,
and William McKinley, on behalf of tho
Eepublicans, were completed to-day. Tho
agreement is signed by William M. Hahn,
Chairman of the Eepublican State Execu
tive Committee, nnd James E. 2eal, Chair
man of the Democratic State Executive
Committee.
It provides tb.it the debate shall take
place at Ada, October 8. It is to last three
hoars, Governor Campbell to open in one
hour and five minutes, and Major McKin
ley to follow in one hour and a half, Gov
ernor Campbell to close in 25 minutes.
TWO CHAIRMEN' NAMED.
There are to be two Chairmen J. M.
Vanfleet, Chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee of Hardin county, to
represent Governor Campbell, and James
C. Howe, Chairman of the Eepublican Ex
ecutive Committee, to represent McKin
ley. Should either one or both of these
gentlemen decline, or be absent, then some
one else, to be named by the respective par
ties, shall act. The Chairmen are to prer
side and give a simple introduction, and
call each party to time at the expiration of
time. The debate is to begin at 1:30 o'clock,
Ada time.
Messrs. Hahn and Heal having been
I unable to agree as to who of the speakers
should open and close the debate, the matter
was decided by lot, Prof. W. S. Lehr toss
ing the half dollar and winning for Governor
Campbell. Chairman Neal, ot "t he Demo
cratic committee, made an effort to arrange
for n Beries of debates, about eight in num
ber, betwee'n Campbell and McKinley, but
the Eepublican Chairman refused to be
caught.
THE DEMOCRATIC OBJECT.
One of the objects to be gained by the
Democrats by this course was to bind Mc
Kinley down to a discussion of the tariff
with Campbell and force the silver issuo into
tho background, which the Republicans do
not care to do at this time. The reason of
fered by Mr. Hahn for not w isliing to go into
tho series beyond the one debate was that
tho time of Mr. McKinley has been arranged
nearly to the close of the campaign, and a
change could not be made without disap
pointing a great number of people in all
parts of the State, as there would of neces
sity bo somo trouble in agreeing upon the
locality for tho joint debates, and all tho Mc
Kinley localities could not be covered by
any arrangements whioh might be made.
It was an ndmirable suggestion on tho part
of Chairman Xeal, from a Democratic stand
point, as McKinloy is having largo meetings
everywhere he goes, and it would be an ex
cellent idea for the Democrats to be ablo to
reach these crowds with the Governor.
jrXHTLEY IN THE C0BN STATE,
Ottnmwa's Coal Palace Not Large Enough
to Hold His Audiences.
Ottujtwa, Ia., Sept. 23. There was tho
greatest outpouring of Republicans to greet
McKinley at the Coal Palace to-day since
Grant's last visit to the State. Twenty-five
crow ded excursion trains from all parts of
Iowa arrived, supplemented by tho regular
trains, and all crowded to their utmost.
Fully 50,000 people were on the streets dur
ing the parade, and the entire marching
foice, numbering thousands, carried corn
stalk canes, and wore American tin-plate
Ohio badges. McKinley was everywhere
w ildly cheered, and the Coal Palace, capable
of seating 8,000 people, was not large enongh
to accommodate the crowd.
This morninjr Major McKinley and his col
leagues. Gear, Henderson. Lacey and Sena
tor Allison, visited the Coal Palace ana ten
dered a reception to tbeMlssouri delegation.
This afternoon the Major and his compan
ions were driven to the palace, where they
were leceived with enthusiasm. Thero
Major McKinley spoke two hours on the
silver and tai Iff, reiteratinir much the same
argument as in his own campaign. He was
continuallv npplauded. The galleries were
so crowded that the police had to be sta
tioned to ceep out further visitors. After
the Coal Palace speech, Major McKinley
made a short address in a stand near the
park. In the evening a Republican camp
fire was held in the palice. and a monster
reception tendered McKinley. Speecnes
were made by Allison, Henderson, Gear,
Lacey and McKinley. One of the signitlcan t
inscriptions on the banners in the parade
was "Governor McKinley will be Presi
dent." MIXING EEPUBLICAN MEDICINES.

to nominate a candidate forJusticeof

platform w liich they hope may so leflect the
better judgement of the Republicans of the
nation as to become tho basis for the plat
form of tho Presidental convention of 1S92.
There is a lively contest for the nomination
for Associate Justice. Tho fight to-night
appears to be principally between Cobb, the
present Incumbent, and Reese, a member of
the Supreme Court. For Regents of tho Uni
versity a dozen are mentioned, but there is
no scramble for tho places.
The medicine men of tho party are In a
pow-wow behind closed doors to-night, and,

they will make medicine before lnominjr.
Its salutary ingredients will bo an Indorse

principles of reciprocity; a demand for lib
eral pensions for old soldiers; nn appro
priation for tho World's Fair and a demand
loi tho "honest American dollar." Upon
tho financial question only is there any con
siderable division of sentiment, but it seems
that the poslf un assumed will be merely an
Indorsement of the silver legislation of the
last Republican Congress. As tho first Re
publican convention since the admission of
American pork into France and Germany,
this great pork-producing State of tho West
is to congratulate the present administra

THE LATEST BLAINE ST0BY.
It Does Not Jibe "With the Recent Semi
official Statement of Manley.
Washington, Sept. 23 Special. The story
again revived, giving as authority tho inev
itable "intimate friend," that Blaine will
shortly announce that he will under no cir
cumstances permit his name to go before the
next Republican Conventidn, is merely the
passing fake of a dull and very warm day.
Tho tale of tho inventive, though able and
usually reliable, correspondent who sent tho
story to the "New Yoik Mail and Expreu,
fixes the date of this interesting event
alter the first of the year." Undoubtedly
it will happen after that time, possibly in
1896.
Ceitainlyno better authority on this sub
ject can bo found in the country than tho
Hon. Joe Manley, the closest friend Blaino
has in the woild." A few weeks nuoTHE
DisrATcn correspondent had it direct from
Mr. Munley that Mr. Blaine would at no
time announce that ho would or nouldnot
bo n candidate, but would let tho people
decide for themselves. If thev desired to
nominate him he would consider it his
duty to accept, but In the light of seeking
the office, ha was not a candidate, for he did
not seek it all and would not raise his band
or speak one word to further his nomina
tion. Mr. Manley yet more recently reiter
ated this view, and thus the matter stands.

The Secretary Has no Definite Plans for
the Immediate Futnre, but Is Enjoying
Life Now the Guest of Senator and
Bin. Hale.
Ellsworth, Me., Sept 23. Special
Secretary Blaine left Bar Harbor on the
flood tide this evening, and is now the guest
of Senator and Mrs. Eugene Hale at their
home in this city. There has been much
inquiry as to when the Secretary of State
would leave his summer home, and
whither he would go, but for
some days it has been definitely
known that he would spond a portion, if not
the whole month of October, in Augusta.
Day after day was set for his departure but
the weather was superb, and the Secretary
enjoyed to tho full the glorious Septem
ber days.
It was said that Secretary Blaine would go
to Augusta to-morrow on the morning train,
but nevertheless people taking their de
parture by boat from Ear Harbor this even
ing had the unexpected pleasure of seeing
Mr. Blaine quietly walk aboard and settle
himself down for thejourney to Augusta, as
everyone supposed. Mr. Dent, bis private
secretary, followed, and then, as the minutes
went by, friends among the cottagers came
down to wish the distinguished statesman,
who has dwelt among them so long, God
speed. Four months ago the boat brought
to Mt. Desert an Invalid; to-day she carried
away a comparatively well man and one
upon whom the eyes of tho whole nation aio
fixed. ThoSocietary left his seat in tha
saloon and went out on the bows of the Star
to catch tho last glimpse of the dark-red
turrets of Stanwood, tho home ho loves so
well.
Mr. Blaino drew on his overcaat, for out in
the bay the air grew chilly, and then, Stan
wood bidden from view, he took his seat in
the stern of the steamer and chatted with
friends. The Secretary and Mr. Dent were
among the first to land, seats were taken in
tho Pullman car Ellsworth, a ride of only 14
miles was quickly reached, and as the train
was drawn up at some little distance from the
station to aw ait an incoming Boston express,
Mr. Blaine, impatient of the delay, decided
to walk to the station, and, accompanied by
his Secretary, he tramped over the car tracks
to the station, where SenatorHale, with Mrs.
Hale, awaited him. Mr. Blaine may leave
for Augusta or he mav stav here two or
three days. Ho has no definite plans.
BOOMING MILLS FOE SPEAKER.
Tlie Texas Statesman Talks Only of Tariff
Before the Buckeyes.
SpbittgfieM), O., Sept. 23. A grand ovation
was tendered Hon. Roger Q. Mills at the
City Hall last night. A large banner was
strung across the balcony with tho words,
"For Speaker of the House of Representa
tives, Hon. Roger Q. 31111s." Mr. Mills al
most entirely Ignored the freo sliver ques
tion. He, however, gave free silver a blow
by saying theio is but one issue before the
people "The question of taxation."
He said: "Last year's importations
amounted to $iSO,O00,0OO the duty on the
same amounting to K0,O0O 000, making a
total cost to Americans of $700,000,000, thus
showing that the consumer paid the tax."
He nssorted that high tariff made low wages,
nnd low tariff vice versa; that the tariff
throttled agriculture ana was sowing the
seeds of monarchy."
ALLIANCE MEN BTILL DEMOCRATS.
The Third Party Idea Receives a Set Back
In the Georgia Legislature.
Atlanta, Sept. 23 This morning in tho
Georgia Legislature, the much-mooted
Ocala resolutions, as indorsed by the Alli
ance and demanded by them of the next
Congress, were introduced by Mr. Barrett,of
Pike county, for'lhe approval and indorse
ment of that body.
The resolutions were defeated by a vote of
81 to 63. This is somewhat of a triumph over
the third party movement In this State, as
it clearly indicates that the Alliance men of
the Legislature, who are in the majority in
that body, are not in sympathy with any
measure that is directly opposite to their
views as Democratic members.
TELEPHONING TO ETJE0PE.
A Line May Possibly Bo Bnn Through the
Atlantic From Boston to London.
Boston, Sept. 23. Speaai. A series of
successful experiments with a long-distance
telephone In this vicinity within the past
few weeks have demonstrated that in the
near future it will be possible to telephone
from Boston to London. Mr. Gorham Gray,
the inventor of the wire upon which these
experiments have been made, said to-day:
"It is not only perfectly practicable to so
construot a wire as to get more rapid and re
liable telegraphy with sounders in place of
dials, but it is also practicable to telephone
on and through the Atlantic at a cost of
cable far less than the present cables, and a
tenth of the weight and consequent break
age strain. The use of copper, it has been
fonnd, is not necessary, for Iron wire, prop
erly shaped, has been proved to be as relia
ble a conductor, and its tensile strength is
greater. On one wire. 100 miles in length, a
portion of which passes through the water,
telephone reproduction is always clear.even
in whispers."
In answer to whother there was any pos
sibility of a telephone line to Europe, Mr.
Gray said: "A plan is nnder consideration
for laying such cables, and the subject is
now before that far-seeing and enterprising
gentleman, Mr. John W. Mackay."

and people come in slowly. A courier
from Tecumseh, the southern county seat,
at noon brought a statement from Governor
Steel that he would declare the town site
open at noon to-morrow. Three thousand
people are waiting outside tho lines of
soldiers. The northern county seat will
not be thrown open before Saturday noon.
The 6,000 people awaiting impatiently out
side the town have staked off the entiro
half section adjoining into town lots.
They will be doomed to disappointment,
however, for under the present laws the
county seat is the only town that can exist
in the Iowa and Sae and Fox lands. Thus
a stretch of country 50 miles by 36 is left for
but one town. No other town can be
started until Congress amends the law.
Couriers in from Chandler Bay that there
is absolutely no water supply and that peo
ple are suffering greatly. Water sells 25
cants a drink. In the Sac and Fox lands the
grass was fired last night and settlers were
compelled to fight the fire all day.
DESTROYED BY TIRE.
Mr. Malone, of Sumner, Kas., had his
buggy and harness burned up and his horses
gotaway. Ahorse ridden by Fred. Bowers,of
Arkansas City, ran against a tree, throwing
and probably fatally injuring his rider.
Miss Eugena J. Jones, of Manhattan, Kas.,
raced ten miles with six men and rode over
a bluff, where they were all afraid to follow,
and secured the finest claim in the land.
Many of the crowd are returning disap
pointed in not finding the land a perfect
paradise. Bough and broken as it is there
is much of it that is unfit for farming.
The officials at the land office have made
more entries than has ever been known on a
single day. and to-night hundreds of people
nre still In line ana will remain there all
nlzbt. Many contests are already filed and
endless litigation will result.
Elmer E. McGnlre, formerly of Winfleld,
Kan., now of Chicago, accomplished a won
derful feat at the opening of the Indian
lands. Ho rode from this city and Chandler
nnd back on a bicycle, making the entire
distance of 95 miles in eight hours and a
quarter. Ho traveled over rouah roads, part
of the distance on an old Indian trail, and
beat every horse, in the country.
REPORTED KILLINGS DENIED.
The bloodshed that was looked for in con
nection with the opening of the lands to set
tlement yesterday did not come. A couple
of cowboys told a negro that he had better
move on, as they had killed a couple of
necroes already. The frightened darkey,
fresh from Texas, spread the story, and as It
went down tho line It was that two men had
been killed. A dozen other stories of the
same nature occupied the tongues of every
body. Only a few tenderfeet believed them.
The rush was not accompanied by a single
killing.
ane nczro colonists were not very success
ful in the rush. A few or them got good
claims, but in the majority of cases a white
man will contest the claim. Threo or four
t,negioes would settle on a claim and will
prove up u acres eacu, out mewnuemen
all want 1C0.
A courier from Tecumseh, the town site of
the lower county seat, states that the site
was proclaimed open to settlement at noon
to-day by Governor Steele. Two thousand
people rushed in and claimed lots. There
had been no disturbance when the courier
left. Governor Steelo immediately pro
ceeded to Chandler, the county seat of the
upper county, and arrived there this even
ing. That town site will be opened to-morrow.
Troops are guarding the site to pre
vent Intrusion.
There was some trouble at the Iowa vil
lage over a valuable claim known as the
Pecan Grovo. An old negro ran his team
nine miles in 46 minutes and anived ahead
of a man who attempted to drive him off.
The negro showed fight and downed the
man with a hatchet. Tho man received a
very sovero wound on the head, but will re

A Discount of Eighty, Ten and Five In the
Scale of Trices Adopted.
Columbus, Sept. 23. Special. The West
ern Window Glass Manufacturers' Associa
tion, or trust, the combination having been
tot med about a year ago, was in session here
to-day, with Western New York, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan repre
sented. The gentlemen representing the 60
or moro firms had little to say as to the re
sults accomplished, but the most important
matters considered were plans for limiting
production and agreeing upon a combina
tion scale for the sale of the product. A
resolution was adopted that no furnacoin
the trust shall go into blast before October 1.
Ono of tho members stated they had been
forced to reduce tho prices lor the year,
though the reduction, from what can be
learned, is moro imaginary than real. Last
year's scale was a discount of 80 and 10 per
cent from the list price. The scnlo ndopted
to-day is a discount of 80, 10 and 5 from the
list price. This means a reduction of 5 per
cent from the nominal price, according to
one of the Ohio furnace men. The whole
argument is that there is a forced reduction
in the price of glass, and It is attributed to
the McKinley bill.

The European Test o'f State Insurance
Keenly Watched By the
AMERICAN DELEGATES AT BERNE,
Who Are Now Attending the International
Accident Congress.
NEWS FROM THE FOREIGN CAPITALS
BERNE, Sept. 23. At to-day's session of
the International Congress, called to consider
the question of accidents to workmen and
workwomen, the employers' liability in
such cases and the best means to be taken
to prevent accidents and to better the con
dition of working people, Dr. Gould, of
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore,
representing the United States Department
of Labor, addressed the assemblage. Dar
ing his remarks Dr. Gould said:
"We are a practical people. If we see in
the experiences of State insurance in other
countries, especially in Germany, Switzer
land and Austria, anything that is good,
the United States will also adopt the State
insurance. I have been sent to officially
represent the United States Government,
and I have followed the deliberations of
the convention with the greatest of interest,
I must admit that I was surprised at what
has already been done in Europe in the way
of State insurance."
Prof. Gould also said that it was satisfac
tory for the United States to be in the for
tunate position of being able to wait and see
the effect of the work already done before
followfhg with experiments in the direction
of State insurance. They (the United States)
would thus be better able to realize what
was best for the well being of the people.
At the same time, Prof. Gould concluded,
he could not help fueling that the work
undertaken had been both great and diffi
cult. ANOTHER APPEAL FOB FUNDS
To Be Issued by the Antl-Parnell Section of
the Irish Party..
Dublin, Sept. 23. A meeting of the Nation
al Federation was held in this city to-day,
at which Justin McCarthy presided. In ad
dressing the members of the Federation,Mr.
McCarthy said that the section of the Irish
Parliamontrry party of which he was the
leader had virtually won a victory over the
section whioh acknowledged Mr. Parnell as
its head.
In order that this advantage might be fol
lowed up and home rule for Irelandbe made
an establistied fact.it is necessary that funds
be raised to meet the expenses of the party,
and Mr. McCarthy announced his intention
to issne an appeal to both the people of Ire
land and Irish Americans to subscribe to
such a fund.
The party has decided to devote what re
mained of tho Paris fund exclusively to the
use of evicted tenants, "with whose cause
the party absolutely identify themselves."
FIGHTING FOB CHILEAN BULLION.
A London Justice Decides It Mast Remain
in the Bank of England.
London, Sept. 23- Counsel in behalf of the
Chilean Government to-day applied to Jus
tice Jeune to restrain the Mail Packet Com
pany, owning the steamship Moselle, from
parting with $750,000 in bullion brought from
Monticello recently, except to trie Bank of
England for storage purposes. The counsel
also asked the Justice to forbid the Bank of
the River Plate from parting with certain
documents referring to this bnllion.
Counsel for the Bank of the River Plate
objected to tnis demand, claiming that the
financial institution referred to had already
parted with $125,(00 on account of this
bullion, and that it had accepted other bills
drawn against it. Justice Jeune decided that
the bullion should remain in the Bank of
England.

Skepticism, on the Point Turns aCathollo

Berlin, Sept. 23. There Is much discus

circles in this and other cities on account of
the fact jnstmade public that Prof. Wln
schied, of Leipslc, who belongs to one of the
most noted Catholic families in that city,
has announced his conversion to Protestant
ism. Its effect npon Catholics may be imagined
when it is coupled with the statement that
the professor attributes tho change in his
religious views to his disbelief in the au
thenticity of tho garment known as tho
Holy Coat, now on exhibition in the Cathe
dral at Treves, and his conscientious
sciuples against supporting a church that
would lend Its sanction to such an exhibi

THE
DTJQUESNE MAY MEET FIFTH
AVENUE KATES.
Secretary McDevltt Says It Will Not Come
at Once, bnt Does Not Know About the
Future "Will Make the Fight More
Bitter.
The contest for pre-eminence between
the Pittsburg and Duquesne Traction Com
panies promises to gr' still more exciting.
Information was zt'. sry from a source al
most official last L 6'.( . he Duquesne
would adopt the S-ceu.'yg O-. ""u its line.
It was stated that the b cently
ordered by the company Wyi on
the line Ootober 1, running onVcn fty -r
schedule than the present ones. Q 'fnf
after that date the fare would be v ft-
from 5 to 3 cents.
Superintendent McFarland was asd
about the matter last night, but said he
knew nothing of it. Secretary McDevitt
was seen and on being told of the report
said:
"Some of the new cars will be running by
October 1, but not all. We will put them on
Just as fast as they are finished. In regard
to 3-cent fares all I can say is that such a
plan will not be in operation October 1. But
I cannot say what will happen in the
future."
From Secretary McDevltt's last remark It
may appear that the company has been con
templating a redaction of fare, bnt bos not
yet decided definitely enough to make the
matter public. It has been a well-known
fact- for weeks past that the Fifth avenue
line had captured a majority of the trafflo by
cutting its fare down to 3 cents. But It was
also known that tho Duquesne could carry
40 per cent less passengers than the other
lino and take in the same amount of money,
besides having smaller running expenses.
For thoDuquesne to reduce Its fare at this
time will give it an advantage which will,
make the rivalry between the two lines more
bitter tban at present. No one else con
nected with tho company could be seen last
night.

eral weeks aTO tho Governor was violently
overheated while driving cattle, and has
been in a very nervous condition since. At
times ho has been delirious and very mnch
depressed. He was taken on a drive by a
friend last night, but became so much ex
cited that he was brought home and a
physician was called. Ho became qnieter
during the night, and this morning was
sleeping quietly. The two watchers were in
another room. They heard a gurgling noise
in ths Governor's room, and on entering
found him lying on tho floor, blood spurting
from his throat. He had cut a gash in the
left side of his throat. The weapon was a
common pocket knife, which he still held In
his right hand. He had folded up his coat
and vest and placed them under his head.

UNION 8EMINABY BOYCOTT.
It Has Little Effect In Decreasing the List
of New Students There.
New York, Sept. 23. Special. When the
directors of the Union TheologicalSeminary
voted last June to ignore the action of the
General Assembly and retain Prof. C. A.
Briggs in his Chair of Biblical Theology,
the opponents of Dr. Briggs declared that
the Union would suffer in consequence or
the stand she had taken. It was said that
she would be boycotted by the Presbyteries
all over the country, who would not send
their ministerial candidates to an institu
tion thnt had denied the authority of tho
Presbyterian Church. During the summer
several rresbyterieo warned their stu
dents against entering Union Seminary.

number of students enrolled it is certain
that tho whole number will fall very Httlo,

NEW YORK'S DEFENSE.
The Old Monitor Miantonomoh Kow
in Modern Fishtin? Trim.
A TERY DANGEROUS NAVAL FOE.
Three of Her Sister War-Dogs Are Also Be-.
injr Rebuilt in Iron.
ENORMOUS SHELLS TO CiERT 13 MILES
tSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISP VTC1I.)
New York, Sept. 23. Sew York Harbor
will have its first armored protector about
October L The monitor Miantonomohlacks
only the placing of two great guns in the
tore turret to be complete. The guns are
done and are ready on the decks of tha
monitor as she lies at a dock in the Brook
lyn navy yard. She is to be placed in
commission also, even if the work is not en
tirely complete. The finishing touches car
be put on later. The Miantonomoh will be
under the command of Captain Montgomery
Sicard.
The big double-turreted monitor has a
long history. She was one of the fleetest
iron clads built toward the close of the civil
war after the model of the famous little
Monitor. At that time Uncle Sam had for
the second time in his history the most
powerful navy in the world", and the
Miantonomoh was the most formidable ship
in it. Originally she wa built of oak, and
her hull was laid in the Brooklyn navy
yard.
TURNED INTO MODERN SIIAPE.
In 1872 she was rebuilt in iron, together
with the Amphitrite Terror and Monad-
nocK, and placed in commission for a sec
ond timeIn 1883 she wa3 brought again
to theXBrooklyn navy yard, and has re
mained there ever since, nearly all tha
jtime in repair or alteration. The monitor
now has 12J4 inches of blended steel and
iron on her sides, and two turrets, each
holding two ten-inch modern rifles.
She is not completely modern even now,
after all her struggle to catch np with the
progress in naval architecture. Her armor
Is not of the nickel steel.which will probably
encase the Maine and other big war ships
which Uncle Sam is rapidly acquiring. But
the mingled steel and iron are amply suffi
cient for a ship of her build, for she squats
down in the water so that she practically
presents no target except her slight super
structures, and these can be shot away with
out crippling her. As she lies now in the
still water herncerises only five feet ont of
water, and her deck slopes away till only
two or three feet above the surface at tho
stern.
A VERY DANGEROUS FOE.
The Miantonomoh is the first really for
midable ship of the new navy. She is a bat
tle ship in one sense of the word, for there
Is no ship of war afloat in any water which
she could not meet with some chance of vic
tory. But she is primarily a harbor defense
ship. Her business is not to go out to meet
an enemy in other waters, but to lie in watt
for an approaching foe. To such a foe she
wonld give a welcome worthy of her flag,
for In every respect, except her armor, she
is nowerf ully modern.
The enormous ten-inch rifles in her turrets
are the largest and most effective marine
guns ever built in this country. They throw
solid steel projectiles weighing SCO pound
each with an effective flghtinsr range of
seven miles, and can hurl them 13 miles. Be
side these big guns, she will carry on her su
perstructure and military deck two six
pounder and two two-pounder rapid-firing
guns; two revolving, cannon and two gat
lings. These will be nsefnl for close fight
ing and to drivo off torpedo boats.
Thus equipped the Miantonomoh can lie
between the Narrows and slnlrwlth her bur
guns nn unarmored cruiser otTSandy.lIooic
She could steam out in the onter bar and
clear the coat near Conoy Island and Rock
away Beach of hostile craft.
BDILT FOR FIGHTING.
In short, for the first tlmo since the Iittla
Monitor, New York City has a protector
which is worthy of the namo. She will baa
welcome addition to the fleet cruisers that
will flash their white sides in our waters. '
She Is not graceful or swift, bnt she can
fight and they cannot. As tho Miantonomoh
nears her period of activity the work upon
her sistor, tne Puritan and the Terror,
grows moro lively. These monitors were
built at about tho samo time with tho
Miantonomoh, and have passed through
somewhat similar experiences. They wero
originnlly of wood and were rebnilt in Iron.
The Miantonoinoh's tonnage is 6.0C0. That
of tho Puritan and Terror is 3,815 each. The
Puritan will carry two hair-inch breech
loadinir rifles in each of her turrets; six four
inch rapid-firing guns; two six-pounder and
four three-pounder rapid-firing guns, four
revolving cannons and fourgatlings. She
will have It inches of armor. The Terror
will be identical with the Miantonomoh,
save that she will have two more rapid fir
ing guns.
