A FUSXT STORY ABOUT THE ADA DEBATE
IPIIOM A STArF COKHErOMEXT.l
Cor-CMiirs, Oct. 10. Another week of
the Ohio campaign lias passed anay, and a
little more than three remain. The Itepub
licans think if the election were held to
morrow Major McKinlev would have a ma
jority of 20,000 or more. It certainly does
look from all the signs at present that the
tariff champion has bv far the best of the
contest The voters are with him.
I think it wa General Butler who said
that Ohio is the most impressionable
State in the Union. The candidate
who fondly imagines that he has
victory in his grasp and then
rests quietly on his oars is liable to wake up
in the morning after the vote has been cast
only to discover that the tide has changed
and" carried him out into the broad sea of
defeat that has engulfed so many men in
this vale of tears. "While the Republicans
feel safe now, thev are not like Governor
Campbell on the sliver question, willing to
chance it, but from this time forth there
will be no let up All the parties are pre
pared to put their best foot forward for the
final struggle, and if Ohio politics is boiling
now, it will be running over the caldron
and into the fire before two more weeks roll
around.
omo will iroT nr. bosed.
"Ex-Adjutant General Axline said at the
Chittenden last evening: "The Ohio peo
ple are peculiar and think for themselves.
Thev won't be bossed, and we haven't an in
dividual of this kind in the State. As soon
as the impression gets abroad that a man is
a boss, the voters take great pleasure in
knocking him down as they would a rag
baby. The Democrats are making a game
ght. They will have to be watched close
ly and fpliowed up from this time out.
Campbell is a hard worker, and he has some
able lieutenants assisting him all over the
State."
The political history of Ohio is comfort
ing to the Republicans. The Democrats
have never been victorious twice in succes
sion. Only once did they elect their ticket
in a year preceding a Presidential contest,
and that was when Hoadley pulled through
in 3883. It was more of a "surprise to him
and his party, than it was to the Republic
ans. It resulted from the liquor fight that
grew out of the operation of the Pond law.
Last year the Republicans carried the State
by 11,000 votes. It w as an off season, but
they had the influence of the gerry
mander to help them, and the
Democrats were badly cut up over
the extra session and the Cincinnati
muddle. Thi fall the people seem to have
forgotten all about the gerrymander, though
the Republican stump speakers never fail
to refer to it. Maior McKinlev does it in a
mild way, and he asks the voters not to for- I
get the Legislative ticket, so that a Repub- I
liean House and Senate will once more re-
district the State on the old basis.
GERRYMANDERING Jd'EIKLEV'S DISTRICT.
Secretary Mathews remarked this morn
ing that it was a bad stroke of policy for
the Democrats to legislate McKinley out of
Congress It brought him to the trout iu
Ohio, here he is sure to knock them out.
The Major say, he thanks his stars they
can't gerrymander the State, though they
can manipulate counties to secure additional
Congressmen. Outside of Sherman, Mc
ICinicy is the strongest man in his party,
and Governor Campbell knows it.
One of the surprising features of the cam
paign is the apparent collapse of the Peo
ple's party. Over in the Western Reserve
a fev day- ago, I am told, Jerry Simpson
dec'lned to speak because the crowd was
small. Not more than 50 people were pres
ent. However, the fourth partv is likely
to ret a cold deal in the Republican hot
bed. Main people believe that the new
iac'ion will not poll more than 5,000 votes
and Colonel W. A. Taylo.-, who is well
posted oi the legislative fight, concedes
tlirm one member of the House as a cer
tainty, and possibly two more. The sure
thing is located in Guernsey county. Some
Ilepnblicans are inclined to think that
the People's party will poll not less
than from lo.OOO to 20 000 votes. At first a
number of disgruntled farmers who be
longed to the Alliance embraced the new
faith with avidin, but they see the fallacy
now. and have dropped out. Only the old
time, genuine Greeubacker, with Seilz at
their liwd, remain, and the Republicans
hope they w ill stick, as they claim most of
their votes will come from the Democratic
ranks.
FORAKKR IS WORKING QUIETLT.
The joint debate continues to be discussed
on all side. lrora5:er made a speech near
here yetcrday, and last evening he was
at the Chittcmkc. I had seen him often,
but ueier talked to him before. I expected
to meet a nenous blustering man with a
powerful oice who terrified and commanded
everybody a'ound him. On the contrary,
be was as mild-mannercdasa -noman.and lie
spoke in a quiet, dignified tone. The ex
Governor is making a good fight for the
Senate, but the impression prevails
there is only man in it, and he
is John Sherman. Mr. Foraker has a
Ftrong inllon ing among the young Repub
licans, and a number of themcalled on him
last eening. The ex-Governor held con
sultations about the Legislative ticket with I
euiuc ui iiicjii .11 uiic uinri ui wie room
-while the others talked about the debate
and the situation generally.
"I read every-nue ot Governor Camp
bell's speech," said Mr. Foraker, when
asked for his opinion of the discussion,
"and I must say irom a Democratic stand
point it was the most ingenious argument
in favor of free trade I have seen for many
a day, but of course it isfullof sophistry
and "inliacy, and it is not hard for the aver
age man to pick it out. The Governor's
talk about the tariff being a tax was
very clever. Everybody admits the
tarifl is a tax, "but we claim it
brings with it compensations that more
than ofiset any burden it might levy. His
use of charts and resort to bookkeeping was
very well done. Major McKinley made a
masterly speech. He is powerful in argu
ment. Everything favors the Republican
party this year, and I think the Major will
have a handsome majority. Providence
helped us by sending excellent crops to put
the people in a good humor."
GOVERNOR CAMriiTLlS SKLF-CONTROL.
Kx-Adjutant General Axline was pres
ent, ami in speaking of the de
bate, he said: "Governor Campbell
hows he is a man of remarkable
sclf-controL Think of anybody attacked
by the newspapers as he'has becu in the
last week, getting upbeforealargeaudience
iinrulBcd, not a sign on his face to indicate
that he was suffering, and then make the
argument he did for his side. Or course, I
can't agree with the Governor. His picture
of the condition of the country is drawn
too stroncly, and his promises are not true.
He did the best he could with the princi
ples be had to uphold. I think Mclunley's
speech was substantial, and will stand the
test with the people."
A short timp afterward I met Speaker
Heisel on the street. "You want my "opin
ion of the debate," he replied, in answer to
a question "Well, I certainly think
that Governor Campbell had the
strongest and most conclusive argu
ments. Major McKinlev wouldn't re
ply to any of the questions the Governor
asked him. "Why didn't he discuss the wage
problem? "We know that the workingmen
were promised an increase when the Mc
Kinlev bill went into effect. Mr. Campbell
pointed out a number of industries where
wages had been reduced, and he asked the
Major to cite one instance where they had
been advanced. He couldn't do it. and care
fully avoided any reference to the subject.
2?ow that is not "an argument. The Major
made his regnlar set speech that he is deliv
ering on the stump, and that is all he did.
lie didn't try to debate with the Governor
or meet any of his points."
The speaker thinks Governor Campbell
will be elected without much trouble. As
he is a labor leader, Mr. Heisel is paying
considerable attention to the cultivation of
the labor vote.
I might talk till doomsday to Ohio men
about the debate and everyone of them
would reply according to his party affilia
tions. GOOD mrjlORED OR IKDTFFERENT.
Another feature of the campaign that is
commented upon in Republican circles is
the general good humor of Governor Camp
bell. At times he appears to verge on the
border of indifference. It may be his nature
not to worry about the future,
or he is confident of election.
State Auditor Poe thinks the Governor
doesn't care whether he is victorious or
not. This belief is shared by many Repub
licans. Mr. Poe reasons that the Governor
was fully vindicated by his party when he
was renominated. Then was when he made
his great fight and won. It will not be con
sidered an evidence of weakness to go down
before a man as strong as McKinley, with
the Republicon party of the country help
ing him to fight his battle.
The Republicans say further that the
Governor lias his eye on the Senatorship,
that while he is working hard to be re-elected,
he is really devoting much of his time
to the Legislature. If Campbell is defeated
and the next House and Senate are Demo
cratic it is 10 to 1 he would be Brice's col
league for the coming six years. At times
it looks as if the Republicans were neglect
ing the Legislature, but Chairman Hahn
is watching this end of the campaign very
closely. Jacob Donaldson, who is Sher
man's right-hand man, was in Columbus
last evening. He has been making the
fight for the Senator. Mr. Donaldson says
the next Legislature will be Republican,
and Sherman will be re-elected. Under the
ncwapportionment there will be 104 Repre
sentatives and 31 Senators. Taking the
last election as a basis the Republicans
will have 20 Senators out of the 31. They
think they can maintain the ratio this fall.
They claim the House in much the same
manner. This would have been true if the
Legislature had been elected last year, but
unionunaieiy n must oe aone mis season.
Still everything seems to favor the
Republicans at present, and by
judicious management they ought to
Jiave a majority in both branches.
While Foraker and Sherman are doing some
lively skirmishing it is under cover, and
will not hurt the head of the ticket.
TIGHT Kf M'KINLET'S DISTRICT.
The Democrats feel a little sore over the
emphatic way in which McKinley pulled
down the heavy Democratic majority in his
district last fall to a few hundred votes.
They are putting in some of their best licka
in "Wayne, Holmes and Stark counties to
show the people at large that the Major is
not as strong at home "as the country had
imagined. Secretary Cole claims the Major
won't come within 1,000 votes of his record
made in the district when he ran for Con
gress. Mr. Cole insists that Stark county
was colonized with outside Etyrablicana,
some of them coming from Pennsylvania.
He thinks it strange that while "Warwick's
vote was wha Grover Cleveland received,
McKinlcy's figures were 1,000 or more
higher than President Harrison s.
It transpires, according to Democratic
authorities, that Governor Campbell nlaved
a shrewd game on the Major during the de-
bate. The Governor was expected to tear
up the tin industry in his first speech, and
while it was in progress McKinley received
telegrams from a number of tin plate manu
facturers, in which they made affidavits
that thev were turning out tin plate. These
were to be read on the platform in reply to
the Governor. Mr. Campbell hardly men
tioned tin in his first effort, but in his sec
ond speech he confined himself to ridiculing
the infant industry. It was then too late
to answer him, butTlhe affidavits will pass
for what they are worth on the stump.

His
Speech Yesterday at Tiffl.T.
Tiffin, Oct. 10. Special This was
McKinley day for Seneca county. Every
village and neighborhood sent its delega
tion. The weather was perfection for an
outdoor meeting, and a crowd estimated at
2,500 assembled and they gave McKinley a
royal reception.
The address of the Major was largely a
reiteration of the principles he so ably pre
sented at Ada. The silver issue was clearly
and convincingly explained and Governor
Campbell's evasions of the silver freely
commented npon. At the close and after
the applause had subsided, Major Mc
Kinley was presented with a barrel of
sugarbought by Edward Jones, in Tiffin,
for i4 cents per pound, and the Major
gallantly turned the gut over to those in
charge of the Old Ladies' Home in this
city.
A Poll Book Copyright Denied.
Cincinnati, Oct. 10. Short & Forman,

the United States Court to enjoin the Troup
Manufacturing Company, of Dayton, from
furnishing poll books for use under the new
election law of Ohio, claiming that the lat

was an important one, because if the copy
right were established the plaintiffs would
compel the whole State to buy their books
at a high price, about 53 for each book,
while the Troup Manufacturing Company
had contracts with 60 counties for 60 cents
each. Judse Sace denied the injunction.

WESTERVILLE," O., Oct. 10. Special
Governor Campbell addressed a meeting
of 2,500 people this afternoon on the campus
of Otterbein University, the seat of learn

as the "United Brethren " Wcsterville is
a Republican and Prohibitionist strong
hold. A former Prohibitionist candidate
for Governor and Vice President of the
United States resides here in the person of
the Rev. Mr. Thompson, who is now chair
man of the State Prohibition Committee.
Though the students of the university,
its faculty and its own brass band are nearly
all Republicans, they turned out, met
Governor Campbell at the depot and escorted
him uptown with great ceremony. A
pleasing incident was the presentation to
Governor Campbell of a wreath of flowers
by Westervillo ladies. The Governor, in
opening, told how often he had heard of
Westerville, and said that he knew it was
a center of education, morality and intelli
gence Down in Butler county, where he
lived, and where nearly everybody voted
the Democratic ticket, they knew "a good
thing when they saw it, and sent their boys
and girls to Westerville to be educated.
He congratulated them on the proposed
electric road between Westerville and Co
lumbus, which would make the former one
of the most beautiful suburbs in Ohio. The
Governor then paid his respects especially
iu me lauies present, saying mat wiiert;
there were so many women there could be
nothing very bad. He said that a good
manv years ago, when he was about the age
of the college students, present, he had
courted a Democratic girl. He was then a
Republican. In the course of three or
four years he married her. By that time he
was a Mucwump. Proeress was rapid after
that, and the result was apparent to-day.
He hoped the ladies present would give
their attention to the rising generation in
the same way, and he was sure everybody in
time would vote the Democratic ticket. He
said: ,-We are here to offend no one; to in
sult no one. We do not intend to appeal to
the passions or the prejudices of any per
son. We are here to discuss certain
economic issues. "

BISHOP DUBS ISSUES A SHORT LETTER
Washington, Oct. 10. The fourth day's
session of the Methodist Ecumenical Coun
cil was presided of er

ciety, read a scripture lesson from the Book
of Job.
The regular programme of the day was
then taken up, the subject for disenssion
being "The Church and Scientific Thought."
The first essay was by Percy AY. Bunting
on the subject, "The Influence of Modern
Scientific Progress on Religious Thought."
Mr. Bunting said the theory of evolution
had changed not only our thoughts but our
methods of thinking, and has transferred
theology to a new plane. He said it was
not enough to say that "evolution is not
proved; even if proved it is only shown to
affect certain departments of nature; only
extreme men carry it into psychology and
ethics; the outlines of orthodox faith are
therefore safe and sound." Continuing, he
said:
THE GOD OF TIIE LIVING.
On the moral natnro and immortality of
man science has so little to teach that its
modern developments leave the matter
much where they found it. The belief in
Immortality rests ultimately on the belief
in the fatherhood of God. God is not tho
God of the dead, but of the living. Tho two
thoughts stand or fall together. The hope
or immortality has never rested on a
physical basis. What modern thought haa
done has rather been to smooth away the
physical difficulties in its way. Agnosticism
appears to rest upon the idea that nothing is
to be believed which does not rest on experi
ment and induction. The question is not
one of science, but of philosophy. .
If we can perceive tho growth of mind
and soul from child toman accompany tho
physical erowth.
the increase of
wisdom and stat
ure and still be
lieve in the re
ality of the soul,
where is the dif
ficulty in accept

viewfortherace?
In fact, the evo
lutionary theory
of religion is in
strictaccordance
with much that
wc are nccus
tomed to believe.
Tho evolution
theory gives
boundless scope Rev. David J. Walter,
to faith and hope. D. D., London.
The race of men may lose Its physical liasls
bj- slow decline of heat, or, as the Bible
seems to predict, by catastrophe, but its
spiritual history would no: therefore come
to an end. The last things, like the first, are
very dimly revealed to us. Scientific evolu
tion also is silent as to its own beginning
and end.
THE CHURCH AND UNBELIEF.
Rev. Dr. Milton S. Terry, of Evanstoc,
111,, spoke on the attitude of the church to
ward the various phase3 of unbelief. He
said that unbelief was not the offspring of
the difficulties of religion, but of the per
verse tendencies of the heart of man. It
was not the result of scientific research, but
of lack of moral training. Some averred
that all religion was superstition and a
bane to the human race. This took the
forth of system. It w as the old familiar
form it was Satan's device.
Rev. W. T. Davison, of England, tutor in
Biblical literature and exegesis in Rich
mond-College, Wesleyan Methodist Church,
followed in an address on the subject of the
"Bible and Modern Criticism," Biblical
criticism, he said, is now a science. It is a
very young science. Though not younger
than many of its strong and thriving sisters,
it is still young, however, and must be
reckoned with as a science by religious
teachers. It implies full and free inquiry
into everything that concerns the Bible as a
series of literary documents. The text, the
date, the authorship, the style, the subject
matter of the various books, including their
bearing upon historical and scientific sub
jects so far as the Bible touches upon these
all these are legitimate subjects ot in
quiry, and the examination into them has
been so minutej so careful, so elaborate and
so comprehensive that it has been erected
into a science with many important branches.
Continuing the speaker said:
THE INVESTIGATION HETAKDED.
The process of ascertaining accurately
and scientifically the precise original text
is difficult and complex. In the New Testa
ment the methods to be ndoptcd and the re
sults thus reached are accepted by scholars
with fairly general consont. In tho case of
the Old Testament, however, much less
progress has been made. Many circum
stances retard the investigation, and,
whether we like it or not, It must be con
fessed that at present the exact critical
vnlueofthe traditional text remains to be
determined.
The variations, however, of readings both
in the old and new text, though numerous,
are so slightandcomparntivel) unimportant
as affects doctrine, thnt tho Christian
Church is content for scholars to pursue
their laborious work of determining these
minituo: without any alarm or disturbance
of mind. But it was otherwise with higher
criticism where tho attacks on Cbilstian
beliof weio bolder. But agreement was
steadily growing, and taking the difficulties
into consideration it must bo admitted that
the higher criticism, especially historical,
now approached a science and its results
must oe frankly met by the preacher. Tho
Church had to beware of setting its faco
resolutely against scientific Cnris"tinn criti
cism. It must not take up a position that
might soon prove untenable. Hear, hear.
WHERE DK. BKIGGS' FAULT LIES.
Rev. Frank Ballard, of England, said that
the small time allotted for the discussion of
this great subject was an indication of dis
respect. "It any man did not believe in
science he did not believe in God" had been
said before, but it was equally true now.
There was danger of the church playing the
ostrich and by hiding its head try to ignore
the things outside. He did not believe that
unbelief was a matter of the heart. He had
had letters from earnest, thoughtful skep
tics that were as full of longing and desire
for the truth as any ever seen.
Dr. Buckley, of New York, said: Science
could give no help as to the fundamental
questions of religion; Christianity was as
false as the wildest superstition, unless the
doctrine of the immaculate conception be
true. Nine-tenths of what the high critics
brought forward has been a snbject of study
by bible students for 25 years. The trouble
lay in arrogance of the critics. The trial of
Dr. Briggs has resulted not from what he
held, but the arrogant and domineering
manner in which he sought to force these
ideas down the throats of everyone.
UNITT OF RELIGION AND SCIENCE.
Rev. James Crabtrce, of England,
thought it very desirable to establish the
greatest friendship between religion and
science. In any divorce between them it is
religion that will suffer. The religious un
belief and unsettlement of the times is due
to the attitude of some theologians toward
the new light of science.
Chairman Arthur, addressing the coun
cil, said he had never heard in a Methodist
assembly a discussion which caused him
'ret'Ta' fi

such deep feeling as the one heard this
morning. He had heard words used that
evidently the users had not settled in their
heads what they meant. What was evolu
tion? The unrolling of a thing from itself.
Give the flower the sun and rain and it
would unfold itself, because there was a
power at the root.
The Business Committee reported the fol
lowing resolution, which was adopted:
WnERKAB, Some of the widely circulated
statements regarding the members and ad
herents of the various Methodist churches
place the number far below the proper fig
ure and do not represent the lorces and
agencies of Methodism;
Resolved, That a representative commit
tee on the statistics of Methodism bo ap
pointed with the view or presenting to this
Conference a renort on this subject that may
bo published in'tho proceedings.
The presiding officer announced that
Bishop Ncw-maii, of Nebraska, would to
morrow morning deliver a memorial sermon
on uonn Wesley. Many of the other dele
gates have accepted invitations to deliver
sermons in churches of Washington and
Baltimore.

introduced here and there an obscene book,
written by a German physician, in which
free love, polygamy, etc., are advocated.
The indefinite character of this report ren
ders it impossible to meet with a specific
denial, but I here emphatically request my
accusers to give to the public all the cir

WATLAID AUD BOBBED.
Tho Death of Ljdla McChesncy Attributed
to an Attack by Other Women.
Lydia McChesney died at the county
home yesterday. The Coroner soon after
started an inquest, which developed the
following facts: She started from Sharps
burg a few days ago to come to the city, and
on her way met a party of dissolute women,
among them Kate McCauley, Maggie Con
way and others. These women had come
along the Allegheny river, to which they
took Mrs. McChesney, and after beating her
almost into insensibility robbed her
of what little money she had. Mrs. Mc
Chesney was unable to help herself, and lay
out in the open air all night. On the fol
lowing day the woman was discovered. Her
lace was badly bruised, and she complained
of feeling sore about the body. She was
sent to the County Home where she was
treated, but without avail, and died at 4:40
yesterday morning.
Dr. Wilkins, who held the post mortem,
testified that her death was duq to acute
congestion of the lungs, superinduced by
alcoholism and abuse. Previous to her
death 3Irs. McChesney stated that she had
a daughter married to H. P. Jones, a
wealthy ccal merchant of Monongahela
City. A telegram was sent to the lady
informing her of her motUer's death anj
asking if she wanted to take charge of the
remains. To this came the brief but em
phatic reply: "No."
The police were notified of th'e facts in
the case, and last night all the officers were
instructed to loot ont tor and arrest any
of the gang of women who assaulted Mrs.
McChesney.

WILLIAMS'-BILL OUT.
The German legislators Do Not Take
Kindly to the Emperor's '
LAW TO PREVENT DRUNKENNESS
The piser fays the Bankers Can Loan to
Russia if They Wish.
Program of the Eocialist Congress
Berlin, Oct. 10. After a long recess the
Bundesrath, or legislative body represent
ing the individual States of Germany, reas
sembled on Wednesday. The House con
sidered as the first order of the day the pro
jected law to repress drunkenness, which,
as if well known, is a pet measure of the
Emperor. The fact that the initiative pro
posals come from the Emperor failed to
commend the bill to the Bundesrath. A
majority of the plenipotentiaries declared
that their governments could not accept tho
project in its present fbrm. The member
appointed to the Bundesrath by the
Bavarian Government intimated that the
State he represented desired no snch liquor
legislation as the bill provided. The bill
ought, he declared, to be withdrawn.
The Prussian member, acting under in
structions from the Emperor, was the only
plenipotentiary who defended the measure.
The bill was finally referred to a commis
sion. It is certain'that'it will appear in the
Reichstag, transformed from a rude, thor
ough attack upon the liquor trade into a
mildly beneficent bill for the protection of
the drunkard. The liquor dealers, though
feeling reassured as regards the adoption of
the bill as a sweeping reform, are arranging
for the holdiug of a congress at Stuttgart
for the purpose of organizing a political de
fense of themselues.
ALLEGED FAVORITISM TOWARD AMERICA.
The Bundesrath discussed the abolition of
the prohibition against the importation of
American pork. The House approved the
edict opening the country to American im
ports, but will delay a decision on the pro
posal of Chancellor yon Caprivi to relax the
vexatious formalities restricting the entry
of Austrian, Italian and Russian pork into
Germany. Austria has complained of the
partiality shown to the United States while
the Dreibund allies are not similarly
favored.
The members of the Reichstag are exer
cised over the prolonged adjournment of the
House. This is especially the case since the
Bundesrath resumed its sessions. In re
sponse to inquiries it has been officially
stated that the Reichstag will meet on No
vember 20, a date about coincident with
that fixed for the reassembling of the Land
tag. The members of the latter
House, a large number of whom
are also members of the Reichstag,
have for a long time protested that the
sessions of the two Houses ought to be held
at different periods, so that they would be
enabled to discharg3 their duties in both
Houses. The delay in the reassembling of
the Reichstag has given rise to talk in po
litical circles that the Government is seek
ing to restrain the action and limit the
prestige of that body by shortening the
sessions, and thus forcing a hurried dis
cussion of public affairs.
PR0GRA3IME OF THE SOCIALIST CONGRESS.
Special interest attaches to the Socialist
Congress which will shortly assemble at
Erfurt. The Directing Committee has re
vised the programme of the proceedings,
now formulated with a clearness a d pre
cision never before seen in any authorized
Socialist platform. In ten resolutions the
entire political and economic demands are
stated.
They comprise universal suffrage without
distinction as to sex; a secret ballot; pro
portionate representation; voting on Sun
days or holidays; the payment of members;
the popular right to initiate or reject legis
lation; popular control of the State; pro
vincial and communal administrations: an
nual votes on taxation; a popular decision
as to peace or war; the creation of interna
tional arbitration tribunals, the right
of free speech and free meetings;
the abolition of state subventions to
churches: military instruction, mili
tia replacing the standing army;
the secularization of the schools; free edu
cation; free justice; that Judges be elected
by the people; gratuitous medicines;, State
supported doctors: a progressive income
tax; the abolition of indirect taxation; eight
hours for a dav's work; unbroken repose for
3G hours weekly for every workman; State
surveillance of factories, mines and other
industries; the formation of Labor Bureaus;
the co-operation of workmen in the admin
istration: universal State insurance; prohib
iting the employment of children under 14
years ot age; tne proniDition ot the truck
system, and the right of workmen to form
coalitions.
SOME ANARCHISTS IN THE BANKS.
Comprehensive as these demands are,
there are extremists in the party who want
more. If the Young section dominated in
the Congress there wonld be some general
declarations against property and other
anarchistic resolutions adopted. The
Directing Committee has elaborated a pro
gramme which, while not proposing to
overturn the State, proposes to transform
the State into a socialist agency.
The Congress of the Volkspartie held at
Pforzheim approved a proposal to vest the
Reichstag with the right to determine
questions of peace or war.
Emperor William, Prince Henry of
Prussia and the Grand Duke of Hesse vis
ited the electric exhibition at Frankfort
to-day. Durinir the Emperor's presence in
Frankfort an attempt was made to ascertain
the imperial opinion in regard to the Rus
sian loan. His Majesty frankly said: "The
bankers can do what they please. My peo
ple understand that lending money to Russia
means war on U3." Nothing is now heard
of the loan on the Bourse. Some Hebrew
brokers may speculate, but no Germans
will invest in it.
The German war office has been informed
of an important capture of a spy by the
Austrian authorities. A man who was ar
rested at Suczawa in Bukowins was discov
ered to be a French staff officer. Papers of
n highly compromising character relating to
the Prusso-Austrian frontier were found on
him.
AN AMERICAN CHUBCH IN BERLIN.
A Grant of Land for a Site Expected From
the Emperor.
'Berlin, Oct. 10. The American Union
Church recently asked the municipal author
ities of Berlin to grant a new site for a
ohurch on the Lutzowplatz. The request
was declined on the ground that the city
needed the square as a place for public
recreation. The congregation, consisting of
the adherents ot most of the American
evangelical bodies, have collected a build
ing fund which now amounts to 120,000
marks. The trustees have reason to expect
that they will obtain from their countrymen
the 400,000 marks required for the erection
of the church.
Hon. Walter Phelps, the American Min
ister, wrote a letter to Borgomaster Forck
enbeek supporting the petition of the
trustees for the Lutzowplatz side. Hcrr
Forckenbeck was unable to give the church
the site asked for, but, through the influence
of the Emperor, the trustees hope to get a
grant in the western 'part of the city.
Ex-Congressman Amos Townsend is now
in this city. He expects to return to the
United States in time to take part in the
Ohio campaign. Hon. Charles Emory
Smith, American Minister to Russia.and
Judge Appleby and family have arrived
here.
The Russian Pamir Expedition Successful.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 10. The Russian
Pamir expedition, under the command of
Prince Galitsin, has safely traversed Kash
gar, Yark and Karkhalik.
No More Pllsrlmaces to Home.
Bohe, Oct, 10, A Papal order which, j
has jnst been issued announces that it is the
desire of the Pope that no further pilgrim
ages to Rome be undertaken for the pres
ent. The Catholic associations which have
been engaged in the work, are invited to
remit to the Pope the funds which they
have collected for the assistance of needy
pilgrims to the Holy See. -.
AMEBIC AN MUSICIAN IN TROUBLE.

London, Oct. 10. At the Westminster
Police Court to-day Nicholas Darlington

singtr, claiming to be a native of the
United States and the son of a clergyman,

SHIPPED FB0M YOUNGSTOWN.
A Crazy Woman Deserted at the Lake Erie
Depot.
A woman who, from all appearances, was
very much demented, attracted considerable
attention at the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
station late last evening. She came from
Yonngstown, O., on train No. 20. When
this city was reached the conductor in
formed Detective Cook that he had a pas
senger on his train who acted very strange
ly and thought she would bear watching.
When the woman got on the train at
Yonngstown she was accompanied by a man
who was lost track of at the Lake Erie sta
tion. In a conversation with her Detective
Cook said he was convinced the woman was
insane, and thought that she was being
brought to the city by someone who had de
serted her.
Lieutenant Booker, of the Southside
police force, was notified and asked to
take the woman in charge. She fold him
that her name was Mary Delaney, and her
home was at Homewood. She said further
that she had been to Yonngstown on a visit.
After making this statement she contra
dicted herself and said she was Mrs. George
Wcstinghouse, Jr., claimed she was
wealthy and exhibited considerable money.
She carried with her a Catholic prayer
book in which she read very often. Lieuten
ant Booker placed the woman in the ladies'
waiting room and intended to keep her
there until the last train departed and if no
person came after her she would be sent to
the Thirty-sixth ward police station.
GONE TO LOOK AT DALLAS,
With a View of Locating National
Stock
Tards at That Point. ,
At the meeting of the Butchers' National
Protective Association held in Allegheny
last May, there was a large delegation from
Dallas, Tex. This delegation urged the
importance of National Stock Yards, by
which butchers could be supplied with
what they need independently of the
Big Fonr. Resolutions were passed favor
ing the inauguration of a movement
for National Stock Yards, includ
ing slaughter houses, refrigerators, etc.,
and a committee of six, representing the
States of Ohio, Missouri, West Virginia,
Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania,
was appointed to visit Dallas with a view
to locating at that point. The member of
the committee from this State is J. F. Beil
stein. The meeting will be held next week. Mr.
Bcilstein, in company with William
Hockenberger, of the Diamond Market, left
yesterday morning for Dallas. The citizens
of this enterprising Texas city have ar
ranged for a grand reception lor the com
mittee, and prospects are good for the
inauguration there of a great new enter
prise. HEE IDENTITY A SECEET.
A Handsome Woman Sentenced for Passing
Counterfeit Silver Dollars.
New York, Oct. 10. Special. The
handsome young woman who gave her name
as Mrs. Beatrice Collins, of New York, and
who was arrested here last June for passing
counterfeit silver dollars, was tried and
sentenced to 550 fine and two years' impris
onment. Judge Ermentrout, before whom
the case was tried, declared that a mystery
enshrouded the woman and closely ques
tioned her from the bench as to her antece
dents, but she would not tell.
Her story was that while she was living
with her husband and children in New
York, she indiscreetly loaned ?j0 to a Read
ing man named Adams, who represented
himself as being in the hardware business.
Her husband quarreled with her in conse
quence and left her. She then met a drum
mer who gave his name ,as Collins, and she
assumed his name. In company with him
she came to Reading in June, and from him
received the false silverdollars, as she says,
innocently. When the woman was sen
tenced she fainted, and then recovering,
cried: "My God, this is more than I can
bear."
KOCirS DISCOVERY.
A remedy discovered, that Is of far
greater efficacy than tho
noted lymph.
Tho tubercle bacilli were discovered by
Prof. Koch, to be constantly present in all
cases of consumption. Where the blood is
impoverished or impure, there results that
constitutional condition known as scrofula,
which is characterized by tho liability of.
certain tissues to become tho sent of chronic
inflammations and. enlargements.
These troubles may start as catarrh in tho
nasal passages, throat or lungs, and as tho
membranes become weakened, the tubercle
baccilli enter, and multiply, and we have, as
a result, that dread disease Consumption.
Find a perfect remedy for scrofula, in all
its forms something that purifies the blood,
as -well as claims to. That, if it's tdlten In
timo, will euro Consumption. It has been
found in Dr. Piorco's Golden Medical Discov
ery. As a strength-restorer, blood-cleanser,
and flesh-builder, nothing like it is known to
medical science. For Scrofula. Bronchial,
Throat, and Lung affections, Weak Lungs,

United States Steamer Despatch
Wrecked Off Cape Charles.

Officers and Crew Rescued and
Housed on the reach.

KAN AGRODNDONTKEACnEEOUSSHOALS
rSPZCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCTT.1
Norfolk, Va., Oct. 10. The United
States steamship Despatch, for many years
regarded as the official yacht of the Presi
dent and the Secretary of the Navy, has
gone ashore on the Assateagne shoals, 40
miles north of Cape Charles. The coa.t
there is very treacherous. She was bound
from Brooklyn to Washington. During a
severe gale on Friday night she struck the
dreaded sands. She is a total wreck. Her
commander, Lieutenant Cowles, and all the
crew are known to be safe, but beyond this
information nothing definite is known.
The rescue of the crew is said to have been
extremely hazardous. The men are under
cover on the beach. The first news came
from a dispatch to the captain of the Life
Saving Service in Washington. The oper
ators at Cape Charles and Cape Henry can
get no further information, they say, than
that the vessel is ashore and the crew is
safe. The report that Secretary Tracy was
ahoardthe Despatch is erroneous. Secretary
Tracy is now in Washington.
"WKECKEES SENT 1'OR BELIEF.
A dispatch from New York says: The
news that the Despatch had got aground
was received in this city early this morning
from various sources. The Merritt wreck
ing organization received the information at
9:20 a. jr. and sent it over to the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, with a request that permission
be given them to send assistance to the
stranded vessel. The United States steam
ship Yantie wa3 to sail for Brazil at ll
o'clock, and orders were issued to her
commanding officer to steam by Assateagne
Island and to render what assistance she
could.
The Merritt wrecking organization put a
party of their wreckers on the Yantie, and
a-lso ordered one of their steamers to go to
the Despatch's assistance from Norfolk. The
Despatch left the navyyard at 6:30 o'clock
on Friday morning, with orders to proceed
direct to Washington. She carried a crew
of six officers and about 30 men. Lieutenant
William S. Cowles, a son-in-law of Allen
G. Thurman, was her commander.
OFFICEES Or THE SHIP.
The other officers, as far as known, who
sailed on the Despatch were: First Lieu
tenant York Noel, Lieutenant R. Mulligan,
Assistant Paymaster S. L. Heap and
Passed Assistant Engineer J. T. Ogden.
Passed Assistant Surgeon James D. Gate
wood was formerly attached to the ship, but
his name is scratched off the list which the
Captain of the Brooklyn Navy Yard has,
which indicates that a change was made.
The Despatch's course lay along the
coast to Cane Charles, up Chesapeake Bay
and the Potomac, to Washington. The
weather was thick and the sea heavy, and the
commanding officer got too close in shore.
Assateague Island.abreast of w bich the vessel
lies stranded, is 40 miles northeast of Cape
Charles, in Northampton county, Va. All
about the island are the treacherous sand
shoals, which are feared by mariners nearly
as greatly as those off Hatteras. Assateague
Islandlight, 129 feet above the sea, and a
ightship mark the dangerous bars of sand.
The Despatch is a wooden, schooner
rigged steamship, which has been a sort of
official yacht since President Arthur's time.
She has a tonnage of 730 tons and a displace
ment of 500 tons. She is 174 feet in length,
26 feet in breadth and has a mean draft of 13
feet 4 inches. Her speed is 12.6 knots au
hour. The vessel was originally a yacht.
She was built in 1873 for Henry C Smith,
the well-known broker, by George Steers, at
a cost of 5200,000. Smith's orders to Steers
were for the "largest and handsomest
yacht." r
