THEY CAMOT BE COAXED To Form a Sew Party That Might Be Led by Cleveland, Either. DEMOCRACY IS GOOD ENOUGH, Eo It Doesn't Fail to Allow Them to Same the Candidate. POLITICAL MEETING OF IMPORTANCE tfriCIAI. TELEGIIUI TO THE DlrATCH.l Bostok, Jan. 3. Maachusetts Mug wumps were subjected to an awful tempta tion this afternoon, but it i probable that they will av: '"Get thee behind me, Satan," and will lianj; onto Grovcr Cleve land's coattail a"s lorg as he remains in the Presidental race. The Maichnsetts IJe form Club met to-day to cousiaer the sub ject of the new political party, which has been dubbed the "Columbian party," and its relations to Mugwtimpery in politics Mr. James Means as the tempter who soucht to lead the Mugwumps astray. As long as he lauded Grover Cleveland the Mugwumps listened with, rapt attention, and applauded every suggestion as to his fitness for the Presidental nomination, but, as soon as Mr. Mears sugcested the remote possibility of drepping Uiwer to make way for a man who micht better unite the deserters from the Democratic and Repub lican parties, there was a scowl of disap proval. The Mnjprnmps till for Grover. The meeting was one of vast importance to outside politicians, for it indicates, in a measure, the stand to be taken by the Mug wumps in the coming Presidental contest. Mr. Means told the Mugwumps present that the new party could be formed right awav, and that they were the ones who should form the "nucleus. The party should hive ior its plptform honest inonev, a low tarilf, and the abolition of the spoils system. After recouping ths dansers which threatened the country tinder the rnle ot either of the present parties, Mr. Means said: I think that ncirlv nil or .is were clad in "54 and 88. and would be gl.id in 'S2 to otc for drorer Ce clai.il, but Clevolanuism and Democracy are two distinct tilings That has been ion full vioed bv the vcrj re cent inexorable loic of e eut- Of the first CleelanilNni ne, the member, of the new part, wint a-mm has we can cet Of the second Democracy wo hie become t-o distrustful tint we T.int tolcTve it to blow its own born rrrh.ip- -oineof -ou are siying to oureiM"s that Cleveland would not accept the nomimtionofthe new Tiart. True. r tiue Of conrse.lie would not accept the nomin ition of a little -trus-plingbandof men such as we of the new party now are 12nt, lellow Vcc nmps, s ou have it in jom powei to revolutionize the politics of the country A ew l'artj- to Kick Cli-veland. If you will join this partj and work with it in the months to come, ir J ou will work until the month of M.irjou will then hive built tip a partj which will give Grover Cleveland the support he needs, and whose nomination he will be thankful to accept, knowing that he will have a party behind him which will hold up his hands and not trv to drag lum dow n I baso that assertion viponmj belief in ClLvclind as a patriot and statesman first, la-t and every tune. I know how strong tl e Cleveland feeling is in this club, and I thought tliat you would approve what I have said of htm I now wiBh tos-aj something which some ot vou will not approve In saving this. I don't commit anvone butmv-elf. I want it di tinctlv understood that I mean every word that I" have aid in praise of Cleveland, but principles are oHatlv gie.iter importance than .nen, and if it Miould appear that an atteniDt has been made to form a new partv simplj to elevate an individual, the spec tacle would be ridiculous If the new party should pm all its laith to one man, its lire would not be worth liv ,ng. If in the very neat future we find that our advocacv ol Cleveland brinnsonlj dissatis fied Democrats under our banner it will be nece-sarv to paue. If the name ot Cleve land keeps those ho hav e been Republic ans from joining us theoi'lj thing we can do will be to ask competent dissatisfied Ke pubheans to give us thciradvicc All Have to Live and Leirn. I believe that the liejviblicans will come to the support of Cleveland, but we cannot tell jet we have to liveand learn. If we hold our convention a week or two before the others are hUd, and if wo JIugw umps claim Grover Cleveland as our man a well we may, for we made him President ind if we support this man who has not Pecn sup ported, I belicv e that wc can carrj the next national election Gentlemen, the campaign of lf-2 has already beeun Now, I lnv e just a w ord to f-aj to the hoi'est inonev Democrats w ho are holding oflice Jlot of them are men of mtegntv andabilitv, and et they do not have half achancc lobe theni-elve-N because thev arc weigtied bv the same fiendish party pre-sure wtnch Cleveland knew, and at presentit is i pressure which mortals cannot wnhsjtaid. ouldn't common ense seem to" dictate tVt the bestthmga man can do nnder such a pressure i-to stand from under and let the w bole concern diop. Vow a word or two to the voters who are fainthearted What i- it to tlnow away a vote, or to "vote m the nir,''i it is some times called? Isn't it to vote with a party joudon t btlieve in? If tlin American peo ple are satisfied vcar aftei year with a choice between two evils, never asking for anj thing bettei, thej arc sure to have evil as the result of their choice, ate they not Loval to the Old Parties What does loyalty to an old party mean? Doesn't it mean tint otei s sm render their rights as private citizens into the hands of the political managers tan onr statesmen be expected to trouble themselves about the general welfare ot the public if the voters say to them " Do as you please: we are loj al to our old parties" Some of the faint heirtcdsij,"lou cannot work reform: the politii.il evils which we see are simply the manifestations of human nature, and that is something you cannot change" To such I would reply: "Perhaps you can't change human mturcbut in order to work leform it is no' nccessarj to change it." The trouble with politics novvis that the worst elements of human nature arc at the top, and the task whicn we hav e taken upoi ourselves is totnaki what has been called "an indecent dream' a reality, by taking hold of bad men and dragging them down from their high positions and putting them where they belong After Mr. Means had finished speaking there was an interesting discussion of what he had been talkirg about, and in this dis cussion the Mugwumps stated their views without hesitancy. Mr. AVinsly Warren said. ot a Time for a Xew Party. The reason I don't believe in a new party now is because there is an extreme possi bility that there will be a new party given usnextJulj bv the nomination of Grover Cleveland. I know that if they nominate Grover Cleveland they will have to give him a nlatfoi m that he can stand upon, and with him I know we aie safe on tariff re form and coimge. We can compel the Democntic jurtv to nominate Grover Cleveland or nominate someone else at tneir peril. We ought to have a conference at Jiew York or somewheie lse of all men who believe in Grover Cleveland. Mr. F. A. Claflin said Unless the Democratic mrtvshowsitseir sincerelj de-Iioiuor tariff reform, we shall inflict a defe it upon it in the next election. The question is not w licilier w e aie going to be too much Democratic, but whether we are gomtobc Democratic at all If we organize a new partj wo may diminish in stead of increu-e our importance. If we form a new partj-we shall &eomtobovery few in numbers But if we act independent ly, instead of forming a new party, we shall vote directly against that to which wo are opposed. Faith in All Things Democratic. Mr. Charles S. Hamlin said: I heart'ly svmpatluze with every aim of the new People's party, but it is our duty to consider how far the Democratic oi Kopub lican party is carrying out and is pledged to enrrv out the principles of the People's party. I recently had a coin ersation with Speaker Crisp, and I don't believo that his election means a single step back in the tariff reform. I believe that tiuffreform principles will be carried out by the present House of Representatives as fai asltispos sicle to carrj thcni out. I believe that at the core the Democratic partj- is sound on the silver question, and tint tho present House will settle the silv er question bv emphatically v oting dow n all such stiver legislation as is contemplated and feared. The Democratic party bj- tradition i tho partv of hard, honest money, of tariff le form, and ofopposition to special legisl ition in any form: and I believe it has statesmen in it who will bind it down to thosb tradi tions Instead of leaving the Democratic party. Ictus drive out of it the bad element, and lot it form a partj w Inch represents that w Inch wo all repudiate. DEATH FR03I A DOG. ATtTDI. SUFFERINGS OF A CHILD TJIT TEN BY A MASTIFF. Hydrophobia Sets in a Month Alter tho Wound nis Babv Brother "Was Also lacerated by the Beast A Horrible Death Awaits Him, Too. 2Cew Yonit, Jah. 3. 5p!.-On De cember 1 last a blooded mastiff bit Eddie and Harold Ball, the former severely, at Harrisons, X. J. The owner said the dog was not mad, but it was killed. The chil dren got along nicely until last Wednes day, when Eddie complained of not feeling well. He seemed to have caught cold. About -fo'clock in the afternoon he began to cough, a peculiar hacking cough, as though he was threatened with croup. Mrs. Ball made a poultice and put it on the back of the little boy's neck. But he got no better, and when he clutched at his throat and gasped for breath, and shivrd from head fo foot, she sent for Dr. Pringle. By the time Dr Pringle got there the boy was plainly suffering with hydrophobia. He lay awake all Wednesday night, cough ing and shivering and crying out that he was burning. Thursday morning the foam began to come, and from that time on his lips were always covered with it. His sufferings during Thursday, Friday and Saturday were terrible to see. He had frequent convulsions, and when his little body was not writhing he would moan and say: "Mamma, mamma," over and over azain. But he did not seem to lose his sense0. Eariy this morning, when his agony was at its height, he would shake his head when his mother would ,ask him if he wanted water or niilk. At 11:30 o'clock he died, stretching his small body out with a long sigh of relief. The other child has a bandage about his head, but his wounds are really healed. Dr. Pringle feels sure, however, that he will die also, although as vet he has shown no sign. He is fortunately too young to suffer in anticipation of the horrible denth which is in all probability in store for him. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. What lis Real Objects Are Tho Snms Given by the Nation to Sectarian and Denominational Schools How the Fig ures Grow. Xew Yokk, Jan. 3. The officers of the Xational League for the Protection of American Institutions, the object of which is to ecure an amendment to the national Constitution prohibiting the appropriation of public money for sectarian or de nominitional purposes, believes that never has there been so great and widespread an interest in this subject as at present. Unusual efforts have been made to strengthen the league and to secure for it the backing of influential men in all parts of the conntry. These efforts, the General Secretary, the P.ev. James 31. King said, have met with flattering success. The league lays especial emphasis on the encroachments upon the American idea of the public school which appropriations of the sort it seeks to prohibit it thinks are likely to bring. An important item in the appropriations by the national Government lor educational purposes is the amount given for education of the Indians. This is given for the sup port ot sectarian schools, and so comes under the ban of the Kational League for the Protection of American Institutions. Investigation of the records of Congress and the books of the Indian Office at Wash ington has shown that more than one-half of all the appropriations have been imde for Catholic institutions, and compari son of the amounts given to the several denominations which have been beneficiaries under the Government shows that to this denomination the amount given each v ear his been increasing. In 1886 the Catholic schools had 5118,3-13, which is a little more than one-half of all the appro priations of this nature. The Presbyterian Church was given 532,995 and the Congre gitionalists 510,121. The Society of Friends was the recipient of 51.960, to be ex pended in this way. Lincoln Institu tion received that year an appro priation of 533,400 and Hampton Institute 520,040. In some years the sectarian school atrMartinsburg, Pa., and the Alaska Training School have received appropria tions, though these have been dropped from the roll for the last four years. The amounts appropriated for 1892 for religious bodies are as follows: K.

Of this the Roman Catholics received 5l,9S9,551. The Presbyterians came second with 5286,040, and Lincoln Institute is third wi t 5233,800. Then come the other de nominations with these aggregate amounts: Congregationalists, 5183,083; Friends, 5140. 517; Episcopalians, 5102,286. The other de nominations received amounts ranging from 53,875 to 538,340, which represents the amount the Methodists have drawn from the National Treasury. PENNED IN BY FLAMES. Tour Members of Two California Families Meet Death by Fire. HAT.rORD, Cai, Jan. 3. Early this morning fire broke out in a frame lodging house, in which four persons perished and six others were badly injured. The fire originated. in the explosion of a coaloil stove, the'flames spreading rapidly through the flimsy structure, and quickly igniting the Methodist Church and adjoining dwell ings. . The inmates of the two dwellings con sumed awakened to find escape hv the halls cut off, and many of them jumped from the windows, receiving more or less severe in juries. The men burned to death were Elmer E. Spoflord, of Chester, X. H.;F. B. Tucker, Sacramento, and E. W. Foster, of this place. T. C Hammond, a printer, was badly burned and hurt by jumping, and died a few hours afterward. Five or six others were bruised and burned. Pecuni ary loss slight. siwift katliKr In Norway.

FIFTY WHITE FIGURES Huddled Shiverin? Together, Driven From a Southern College. . A PANIC AT A MIDNIGHT FIRE. Costly Results of a Test of the Furnaces of a Big Building. THE COLD ADDS TO THE GIRLS' TORTCEE fsrrnAt. telegram to the nisr ATCtt.i SrARTAXnuKO, S. C., Jan. 3 Fifty fe male pupils, robed in white, made neces sary by their hasty exit from Converse Fe male College, had to crouch behind the shade trees while the fierce flames of their burning home illumined the weird scene. The thermometer registered only 20 above zero, a point which caused untold suffering to the people of this region. Converse College is situated in a large grove, one mile from Spartanburg, and over half a mile from the nearest houses. It was built about two years ago at an ex pense of 5100,000, and received its name from Colonel Converse, who was its most zealous .promoter. The building accom modated 150 pupils, and was full at the opening of its present fall term. Nearly 100 ot these had gone home for the Christ mas holidays, leaving 50 young ladies, be sides the college force, in the building. A Costly Test of the Furnaces. As Saturday night was intensely cold, the furnaces were tested to their limit, and the voung ladies retired for the night. It was about 12.J0 o'clock A. M. that a stroll ing colored man hurrying by noticed the shooting of the flames from the furnace room. Almost before he could eivc the alarm the central wing ot the building seemed to be completely at the mercy of the flames. The mam "stairways reaching to the dormitories were a prey to the fire. Two men who had by this time reached the building, broke open the doors ot the west annex, and ran from door tq door, awakening the sleeping ccupants. As the cirls crowded into the hallways and saw the niiin exits closed against them, a scene of the wildest confusion reigned. The matrons found it almost impossible to le.issure them so as to give directions for their es cape. One young lady, driven almost to insan ity, ma"de a rush to get through the fire, but was pulled back, her hands and face being terribly burned by her wild effort. At length thev were put on the way to escape through the annex stairways, and began streaming out into the openir. Not a Very Fleasint Change. The"change from the heat and smoke of the burning buildins into the freezing at mosphere was almost as terrible as the fate which they had escaped. The nearest house was "half a mile away, and m the confusion which resulted from their hur ried exit and scant attire, and the want of leadership to provide for them, the scene was one hard to describe. The first effort of almost all, when the safety of the students had been assured, was to master the flames. This was fruitless from the first, however, for want of adequate water supply. In about half an hour people began arriving from the city, and the effort to gather up the girls and take them to homes began. Shivering with cold, some of them were grouped around the burning building, hoping to cet some warmth from it, while others wandered off aimlessly, being at sea as to what to do. President "Wilson did all he could for them under the circumstances, and finally succeeded in having them all cared for. The loss to the building is about 560,000, which will be partly met by an insurance of 550,000. STILL AFTER AIKENS. Hon. Divorce Business Is said to Ilnvo Demoralizccr a Judge. Sioux Falls, S. D Jan. a The State continues to be much interested over Judce Aikens' affairs. The ministers who asked him to resign are preparing to hold another meeting and to make public some of the facts concerning the charges which hav e been made against the Judge as to drunken ness and debauchery. Said one minister yesterday: "Had the divorce colony kept away the Judge would have been all right, but, with their high ways of living, their champacne and wine suppers, the Judge was ruined. The Judge goes to pieces when he begins drinking, and, being a young man of vigor ous intellect, he wants to rnn the e.irth when he loads up on liquor. "Why, do you remember that little woman, always dressed in blick, Mrs. Peter Snyder, of New York, who was out here for a divorce? "Well, she remarked this to me just before she was leaving for Xew York: 'If Judge AikeW hand must be placed upon every woman's skirt before she can get a decree then I'll do without a decree.' "Well, she never came back again. and she is still the wife ot hnyder. A majority of the members of the Bar As sociation are in sympathy with Judge Aikens, and claim that war is being made upon the Judge by the prohibitionists for political purposes. PICIUBES AND STATU ABY COKING. English and French Artists in Hot Rivalry for the World's Fair. PARI"!, Jan. 3. Mr. Bryan, of the Chi cago Fair Commission, writes from Borne that he had had an audience with Premier Budini and that he received most encour aging assurances of a desire on the part of tbe Italian Government to send exhibits to Chicago. Commissioner McCormick has been passing the holidays in Paris, and will return to England to-morrow. In an interview to-day he said he did not wonder at the lively interest taken by the Paris art world in the Chicago Fair, for the painters and sculptors doubtless know that English artists are straininsr every nerve to make a fine display. The English artists, he said, mean to try to secure a larger share of American patronage now monopolized by French artists. Unreal n Sale Embroideries and Laces.
