'SPECIAL TELIGRAM TO TBI DtSrATClt.1
Philadelphia, Oct. 1Z The Pan-Ke-publican
Congress held its first session this
morning in the Common Conncil chamber,
where the inspirations associated with In
dependence Hall filled the members with a
feeling that the historic place was of all in
the world most fitttng for the initiation of
their great work for human freedom and
unity. Men and women of distinction from
different parts of the country were gathered
to inaugurate a moTemcnt which they felt
might have a greater influence upon the
future of mankind than any hitherto en
tered upon in the annals of time.
Besides the Governor of Pennsylvania
and the Mayor of Philadelphia, there were
present Governor Hoyt, of "Wyoming; Dr.
Champion S. Chase, ot Omaha; Dr. John
Clark Bidpath, of Indiana; Judge Arnoux,
Captain John Palmer, Commander in Chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic; Dr.
H. P. Lewaudowski, Theophila Kraemer,
Peter L. "Wokiichi, of New York; H. B.
Blackwell, Lucr Stone Blackwell, Austin
S. Cushman, of'Massachusetts; Colonel J.
E. Peyton, of New Jersey; H. C. Parsons,

Bev. George Dana Boardman, D. D., Allen
B. Borke, Bachel Poster Averr, Lincoln L.
Eyre, Henry Pettit, Huch McCaffery, of
Philadelphia, and many others.
OBJECTS OF TIIE MEETISO.
The meeting was held to prepare the way
for the great congress of 1893, during the
Columbian Exposition, at which all the Re
publics of the world are to be represented,
with the object of advancing republican
government If the meeting this morning
was rather small in numbers, considering
the magnitude of its undertakimr, there was
power in the enthusiasm displayed which
promised all that is needed for success
It was 1050 when the Chairman of the
local committee, Dr. Persifer Frazer, called
the members to order and stated the objects
and progress of the movement, which has
been gradually approaching the present
stage of organized endeavor through many
years of struggle for liberty and justice.
It combines, said Dr. FrazerJ in its purpose
all human efforts in the direction of the
ends, and has the encouragement of men of
high thought and character in 11 countries.
ADDRESSES TO SF.rAKATE CLASSES.
It was the thought of those with whom
this movement began that the four hund
redth anniersary of the discovery of this
continent should be celebrated bv a convo
cation; first, of representatives of all Gov
ernments baed on an ncknowledeenient of
the rights of man. and. secondly, of repre
sentatiies of the people of high purpose
everywhere, independently of the form of
Government under which they live; these
two bodies to consult together on the means
of widening the domain in which men may
enjoy the rights claimed by the Declara
tion of Independence.
Sub-committees have been appointed to
draft the several addresses to the separate
clashes whose union is essential to the suc
cess of the concres. Dr. Frazcr concluded
his remarks by inviting Dr. John Clark
1! id path to act as chairman in the absence of
Judge Arnoux, President of the congress.
Dr. Kidpath, after saying that toward this
Mecca of human libert r the eves of man v ueo-
ple will now again be turned with renewed
hope hereafter, as in the past, introduced
Governor Pattison, who was cordially re
ceived and delivered an address of welcome,
in the course of which he said:
as ArniorisiATE place of sieetistg.
I uid you welcome to lemiS3-lvania. It
was a very w ise and extremely appropriate
suggestion which led to the selection of this
State for j our meetings. It must have been
inspired by motives truly patriotic. The
paces of history do not reveal a place more
hallowed by associations ith the cause of
humanity. Here, within a stone's throw, in
Carpenters' Hall, met tho Consress of 177.
and assorted their rights to the enjoyment
of life, liberty and fortune declared the
people to be the source of authority, and
laid the foundation of a Government 'based
upon freedom and equality.
Within the walls of this old building was
kindled the Ilanic of freedom that is yet
destined to light the world. From its tow er
rang out the sound of the bell proclaiming
"Liberty throughout all the land, unto all
the inhabitants thereof." Hero rested tho
remains of the gTeat emancipator, Abraham
Lincoln, when borne to the place of burial.
The car of the true patriot cannot Tall to
here discern the sound of tlie voices and
the fall of tho footsteps of Washington,
Adams, Jcffon-on, Franklin, Ilenrv, Han
cock and their noble associates. With each
inspiration the members of the Congress
will bo double equipped for the task before
them.
A distinguished American omtor has said
tliat "we inhabit a country which has been
signalized in the great hlstorj of freedom."
We live under forms of government more
Javorablo to its diffusion than any which
the world has elsewhere known.
AU OBJECT LESSOX TO XATIONS.
After a century of trial w o are prepared to
offer to the nations of the earth the success
of a numerous people organized on the
pnnciplo of the political equality of all the
citizens. I would not disturb the repose or
even a detestable despotism. But If an
abused and oppressed ncoplo want thotr
lreedom; if thej seek to establish it; if, in
trnth, they do establish it. wo have a right
as a sovereign power to notlco that fact, and
to act as circumstances ana our interest
require.
Slav your work eventuate in bringing the
world to a knowledge of their benefits. No
brighter crown could adorn the twentieth
century man me inumpn oi such a cause.
As the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
w ere periods of discovery the seventeenth
and eighteenth of reformation, the nine
teenth of Invention, mav we indulge the
hope that the twentieth may be distin
guished by the political freedom of man
kind. The Chairman next introduced Mayor
Stuart, who also made an address of wel
come. H. B. Blackwell and his wife, Lucy
Stone Blackwell, were prompt to look after
the rights of women, their suffrage, associa
tions and the like, in the congiess. After
considerable discussion over its constitu
tion, the Committee on Address to the Peo
ple of the World was announced, as follows:
Dr. Toole, Smithsonian Institute; J. II.
Morgan, Kew .Jersey; Colonel Austin H.
Cushman, Massachusetts; Mrs. Lucv Stone
Blackwell, Massachusetts; General W. O.
McDowell, Xew Jersey.
A COMniXATIOJT OF ADDRESSES.
It was 3:15 p. M. when President Judsje
Arnoux called the Congress to order. It
was reported that all the addresses which
had been furnished from which to select
the address to the people of the world had
been examined, and it was the recommenda
tion of the committee in charge that that
address should be made up by combining
the best portions of all those submitted.
Colonel Allen was called to the Chair while
Mr. McDowell read the resolutions upon
which it was proposed to base the Human
Freedom Leasruc.
Goloncl Allen made au address of great
force, denunciatory of monarchy in general
and of Bussian tyranny and 'brutality in
particular. Dr. L. j Stager, of i'ew
York, representing Switzerland, was chosen
Secretary. The resolutions reported by the
Committee on Organization, which were
unanimously adopted, set forth the nature
r.ml objects of the league, to which, as
charter members, will be eligible the So
ciety of the Cincinnati Sons of Bev--olution.
Daughters of Beolution
Loyal Legion, Grand Ar r of the Itepub
lic, "VVomaus Kelicf Corp," Sol s of Veter
ans, Confederate Veterans Associations and
tuch other societies as arc approved bv the
authorized committee.
KOLLOTCIXG WASHINGTON'S LEAD.
One of the purposes of the League is de
clared to be: "To take up the work out
lined by George "Washington in his will,
whereby he left a large share of his prop
erty for the establishing of a national uni
versity to educate citizens in Statecraft, its
doors open to the youth from every land."
To secure international arbitration is also
one of the prominent objects of the organi
zation. The basis adopted leaves all room
for change and expansion in the methods
of the league.
Mr. Henry Pettit exhibited a design for a
flag proposed as the ensign of the league.
It was the flag of the United States in the
center oi a white field. Taking this as a
model anv nation or organization of people
could so fdentify its own colors with the
universal symbol of the league. After
much discussion and criticism the motion to
adopt the design was carried. Kemarks
were made upon the objects of the league by
Alfred H. Love, Dr. Chase, Mrs. Howey, of
Montana; H. B. Blackwell, Mrs. "Witte
mycr, Dr. Stager, Peter Wadzichki, H. P.
Lewaudowski, representing Poland; Thomas
"Walter and others.
TIIE EVENING MASS MEETING.
It was decided by a unanimous vote to
hold the next meeting of tho leading league
at Omaha, April 10, 1892. The meeting was
closed with prayer by Rev. George Dana
Boardman, D. D. The mass meeting in the
Academy of Music this evening was ad
dressed "by several distinguished speakers
who talked of human freedom from various
points of view. The meeting was opened
with prayer by Bev. S. D. McConnell, D.
D. Bishop John J. Keen was not present,
and another absentee was Itev. Edward Ev
erett Hale.
In place of the latter, "A "Woman With
out a Country," Mrs. Theophila Kraemer,
made an impressive address. The other
speakers were Hampton L. Carson, "Human
Freedom From the Point of View of De
scendant's of the Men of 76;" Governor
Hovt, of "Wyoming, an impromptu speech;
A. K. McClure, "Human Freedom From

ANXIOUSLY WAITING.

Missionaries in China.
THE NEXT MAIL WILL BEING-NEWS

ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW THE DYNASTY
IfrECIAL TICLrORAM TO THE DtSPATClM
New Yokic, Oct 12. At the offices of
the various boards of foreign missions in
this city a great deal of interest was mani
fested this afternoon in the news of the
riots at the Chinese stations at Ichang. The
officers of the boards are waiting for the
next China mail, which is due in a few days,
to brine them additional information. The
Methodist missions are not stationed as far
up the Yangtse river as Ichang, and have
so far escaped trouble, but there is a mani
fest feeling of anxiety for their welfare.
The Presbyterian Mission Station at Soo
Chow was the scene of a riot in June, when
considerable damage was done. All the
damage in the September riots at Ichang
was done to the mission stations of the
Episcopalians and the Catholics.
HOW THE WOB.K PIlOORESSES.
The work of the Episcopalian Mission at
Ichang was carried on by the Rev. Herbert
Sowe'hy, with the assistance of one Chinese
deacon, ten catechists and teachers, and
three Bible women, who were volunteers.
A lot large enough for the erection of a
church and schools, or a hospital, waspur
chased in July, ana a dwelling was. in course
of erection. About 58,000 was expended on
the property at Ichang during last year.
The only news received by the board
here of the trouble at Ichane came in a let
ter from the missionary at Shanghai, dated
September 4 This letter simply inclosed a
telegram which had just been received
from Hankow, giving the bare fact that
there had been a riot. Nothinc has yet
been learned by the board as to the extent
of the damage done. The next report from
the foreign mission fields, which will be
issued by the board in a few days, will say:
AN ENCOURAGING KEPOBT.
"The year has been an exceedingly trying
and anxious one, but not without marked
blessings and enoouragement. Mr. Sowerbv
reports 49 baptisms at his own stations; 23
have been confirmed, and there are, after
four years' work, 45 native communicants.
There are four Sunday schools and a night
school for working men. For the 1,772
services held the average attendance has
been 120."
It was said by several gentlemen con
nected with the foreign mission boards that
the cause of all the trouble is undoubtedly
to be found in the desire of the rebellious
Hunanese to overthrow the reigning
dynasty. The Hunanese think if they can
incite riots, in which the lives and property
ot foreigners are endangered or destroyed,
that the foreign Governments will unite in
the overthrow; of the present dynasty. The
.Rev. Dr. A. P. Hoopes," of Glenshaw, Pa.,
who was for years a missionary in China,
thinks the Chinese Government is in car
nest in its efforts to put down all disorders,
and that it will succeed if it is only let
alone.
MISS FATION'S RESIGNATION
Accepted After It Was Learned Slio Would
Not Withdraw It.
The Board of Managers of the Allegheny
General Hospital met last night and, after
transacting some routine business, took ac
tion on the resignation of Miss Patton, the
head nurse. Her resignation was formally
accepted after it was stated that she posi
tively refused to withdraw it Tho matter
of electing her successor was next taken up.
Miss Tildesley, the Superintendent of the
Hospital) had recommended the election of
a lady, but the board failed to confirm the
appointment or elect any other. After some
discussion of the matter, it was left to a
sub-committee, empowered to recommend a
candidate for the position. Miss Pattison
was given a letter, signed by all the board,
which read as follows:
Resolved, That the directory Is not insen
sible to the high standard of proficiency
with which the late class In the training
school graduated, and that we express our
gratification of the same, and it is further
Resolved, That we have continued confl
uence In the superintendent and head
n ursc, and their marked ability In the train
ing of pupils committed to their caro.
Miss Patton intends to follow her voca
tion of nursing and caring for the sick on
her own responsibility, and has taken a
suite of rooms at 21 Church avenue.
Congressional Delegates Ask for Mercy.
Beaver Falls, Oct. 12. Special.
Desperate efforts are being made by the
Beaver Falls friends of John Tate, Edwin
Shaffer and Edward Downing, the Congres
sional delegates now in jail at New Castle
for refusing to answer questions in
the bribery case during the McDowell-Phillips
fight, to secure their re
lease and have their fine of $200 and costs
each remitted. All three men have peti
tioned the judges of Lawrence county for
their release on the grounds that they 'have
not the means to pay their fine, that their
families are in need, and that the time of
their original sentence expired last March.
This morning E L. Cunningham, a promi
nent politician of Beaver county left for
Butler to see Judge Hazen, President Judge
of the Lawrence County Judicial District,
and try to get an order to the Lawrence
County Commissioners for the release and
remittal of fines. E. L. Cunningham re
turned to-night, his mission having been
unsuccessful.
Held to Conrt for Counterfeiting;
Albert C. Bails, alias George Washing
ton, ahd Samuel Frankey were given a hear
ing before United States Commissioner Mc
Candlcss yesterday on charge of having in
their possession and passing counterfeit
coin. The informations were made by
United States Detective McSwceney. The
men were arrested on Saturday night on
Center avenue by Officer Myers for attempt
ing to pass bad coin. When searched, Bails
had S-7 15 in counterfeit 50, 25 and 10 cent
coins. Frankey had no counterfeit money,
but had a quantity of change in his pockets.
It was figured from this that Bails carried
the counterfeit while Frankey did the pas
sing and received the change. Commis
sioner McCandless committed both men to
jail in default of 51,000 each for trial at
court, which opens next week. The two men
have only been out of the penitentiary about
two months. Bails served term for coun
terfeiting, and Frankey served four years
for assaulting and attempting to kill his
wife.
Considering a Case of Fire.
The Fire Committee of Allegheny met
last night, but was in session only a short
time. It consider d the resolution of Coun
cil, abolishing the office of Clerk to the Fire
Bureau, now "filled by T. G. Sample, and de
cided to have it printed for the use of Coun
cils, and so instructed the Clerk of the Com
mittee. There was very little discussion of
the matter. Mr. Simon said it appeared
that the clerk drew a monthly salary of $30
as clerk, and $75 as hoseman, and had very
little to do as clerk and nothing to do as
hoseman, as he was never known to attend a
fire officially, or sleep in an engine house,
as he was expected to do.
o Investigation Needed.
It was announced yesterday that there
would be a meeting of the Board of Direct
ors of the Sixth ward schools, Allegheny, to
consider the charges that the teachers were
dealing in supplies at the expense oi the
children. No such meeting was held, and
it was stated that none had been called.
As stated in The DlsrATCH several days
ago, these charges were found to be without
foundation, and the directors, through their
Secretary, Mr. Venning, announced they
were satisfied of that fact.
WORKED A SMOOTH GAME.
How Dr. Orr, of Salem, tost Several
Val-
cables Last Evening.
Dr. Orr and wife, of Salem, O., were vis
itors in the city yesterday, and during the
early evening separated, with the under
standing that they would meet at August
Minna's restaurant for supper. The Doctor
reached the place first, and having two
satchels and a couple of bundles of goods
purchased during the day, he left them with
Mr. Mihm while he went out for a walk.
The Doctor had hardlv left the restaurant
until a young man rushed in and asked for
the packages and satchels, saying "tho
lady" had sent him.
Mr. Mihm knew the doctor's wife was
expected, but supposing she had changed
her plans gave the articles to the young fel
low, who immediately started off. The
Doctor returned soon afterward and learned
of the trick that had been played. He at
once notified Superintendent weir, and a
description of the thief was given to the po
lice, but he has not yet been captured.

lutionist, swings to a tree with 19 bullet
holes in it. He was arrested some days ago
and left for Victoria under a guard of sol
diers. The corpse is rotting away, but no
one is bold enough to cut it down.
Felippe Sinas, another member of Garzas'
band, was caught on the 8th inst, and has
been removed in the same way. The
soldiers excuse the deaths of these men by
Btating they were killed under warrants
of the State, which is called "La ly
Fulge." It is a law permitting the shoot
ing of a prisoner who attempts to escape.
By its warrant hundreds of men have been
executed in Mexico within the (last five
years.
A political prisoner is given to under
stand that he must make a break for lib
erty, and that if he does not he will be shot
anyhow. The victim is allowed to get a
start of ten yards of his captors, and is
then tumbled on his fact with bullets
through his back. It is noticeable that
these "escapes" never occur in a thickly
wooded or bushy country where the pris
oner would have some chance to dodge.
The military rule instituted by the Mex
ican General along the Rio Grande Bince
the Garza outbreak is an exceedingly strict
one, and the people are afraid to be seen in
groups of two and three.
SQUATTERS FORCIBLY EVICTED.
Houses Pulled to Pieces and Scattered to
the Wind by an Engine.
Kansas City, Oct 12. The Union
Pacific Railroad to-day began forcible evic
tions and the destruction of dwellings on its
right of way on the levees in Kansas City,
Kan. The evicted families are "squatters"
on the Union Pacific lands at The Point,
and have lived there for years unmolested.
Six of the houses of the squatters on the
right of way were torn down and scattered
in all directions. One engine, with a con
struction car attached, a mass of chains and
ropes and about 20 men did the work. A
large heavy rope was run around the
houses, the other end of which was attached
to the train. When the engine started
there was a crash, a shower of splinters and
the house had disappeared. The place was
the scene of the greatest excitement Most
of the shanties had been vacated for some
time, although the furniture remained In
two or three where owners refused to move.
The Juch Company Stranded.
PeovidEnce, Oct 12. Special The
Emma Juch Opera Company is stranded in
this city, a fact more astonishing because
they cleared 52,700 in Boston and had an ap
parently successful stay in this city. In
spite of that success, when they sought
to leave for Buffalo' last night they
found that the question of bills was detain
ing them. The only explanation of the
difficulty that can be obtained is given by
one of the company, who says a portion of
the earnings had been used in the interests
of another combination in which the man
agers of the Juch Company were also in
terested. Catholic Temperance Men to Meet.

MONTANA'S HIGHWAY LAST.
She Proves to Be a Very Nervy Woman, as
Well a a Prevaricator.
Helena, Mont., Oct 12. The "high
way lady" arrested here while attempting
to leave town in man's-attire, proves to be a
nervy young woman. She is also a ver
satile prevaricator. Instead of being Ber
tie Miller she is Helen Ferstund, and her
parents live not far from Spokane Falls,
Washington. Helen was the baby and
beauty of the family, but by waywardness
has been a source of deep grief to her rela
tives. Saturday the City Marshal secured
a complete outfit of woman's wear, and the
female bandit donned the attire of her sex,
in which she presented quite a striking ap
pearance. She soon tired of the limitations
of corset and skirt, however, and again ap
peared in the ceil door in cutaway and
trousers.
The fact that a trail of blood was found
all along the route of the retreating thug
who shot .Policeman Grogan, and that
Clark denied that he knew she was a
woman, has given rise to the suspicion that
Helen trapped Clark to cover the retreat of
a third person who was probably her lover.
Grogan was confident be had winged the
fleeing footpad, but neither the man Clark
nor the woman Forstund bears a scratch.
Some of the exploits Helen claims credit
for are already discredited. Her descrip
tion tallied with that of the author of two
or three bold acts in Btitte. Clark has been
positively identified by the wounded officer
and by both the victims of his robberies,
and a watch belonging to one of them was
found on his person. The girl is held as an
accomplice, but the only evidence against
her is her own confessions and the watch of
one of Ciark'B victims, found on her person.
Charitable Work for Poor.
The semi-monthly report of the Pittsburg
Association for the Improvement of the
Poor shows the number of new applicants
to have been ten. During the period just
ended there were 429 families visited and
217 aided, which includes 849 persons.
There were 693 visits made to the poor
and 84 for the podr. Situations were ob
tained for nine persons and day's work for
30. Eleven were placed in the Sabbath
school, six in the public school and one in a
hospital. As to groceries distributed there
were 6C6 loaves of bread, 232 pounds rice,
215 pounds oat meal, 304 bars soap; diet
dispensary, 71 pints beef tea, 329 pints
milk, 9 pounds tea, 237 pounds sugar.
There were given out 2C1 grocery orders,
725 bushels cool, 98 garments and 26 pairs
partly worn shoes.
Marriage Certificate! Needed In Chicago.
A woman claiming to hail from Chicago
called at the Bureau of Health office yester
day to get papers certifying that she was
married. She formerly lived in Pittsburg,
and is well-known in society here. She
came to Pittsburg to visit friends last week
She says it has almost become a custom in
Chicago to question the veracity of people
who claim to be married, and that she
thought it would be advisable to have
Sapers to bear her out should anybody
oubt the relations existing between her
and her husband.
