Washington, Feb. 28. Mr. Blaine
furnishes to the Associated Press to-day
for publication the following, under the
heading of
"A PEI1SOXAL STATEMENT."
Since the separation of my son and his
wile, 3J years ago, my family have silently
borne every misrepresentation, every slan
derous attack, every newspaper interview
which it has pleased the now divorced wife
to inspire. The one person aimed at has
been Mrs. Blaine; and we have perhaps
been at fault in allowing a horror of the
public discussion of private matters, com
bined with a regard for the future of my
grandson, to permit so much calumy to go
unanswered.
The last outrage of the kind, embodied
in the decision of the Judge at Deadwood,
S. Dak., assumes an official character which
makes it impossible to remain longer silent.
To remain silent would be to accept and
perpetuate a great wrong to my wife a
greater wrong to my grandson than even a
publication of the truth can inflict upon
him.
It is necessary, in speaking, that I should
jive a summary, as brief as possible, of the
marriage and incidents which followed it
and led to th teparatfon. -Aletterwhich.
I addressed to Bev. Thomas I. Duct jr; at the
time of the marriage, will distinctly state
ue important facts bearing upon that event.

16 East T entr-nlnth street, 2f ew York.
Sib On Wednesday morning last, the 8th
inst., my youngest son, James G. Blaine, Jr.,
shocked me by the announcement that on
the preceding Monday he had been united in
marriage with Miss Marie Xevins, that you
had performed the ceremony in your own
rectory, that my son and Miss Xevins were
unaccompanied by friend or relative and
that two of your household servants were
the sole witnesses. My son's announcement
gave the first knowledge that I or any mem
ber of my family had of his marriage oi even
of his attachment to Miss Kevins whose
character, I wish to say at the outset, Is not
at all in question, and of whom, but for this
rash marriage, I have never heard a breath
of censure.
My son was born October 12. 1S68 and Is
not, therefore, 18 years old. He was living
here in his own home, in the house where ho
was born, surrounded by neighbors who had
known him nil his life, under the daily care
of a tutor who was fitting him for college,
which he Loped to enter this autumn. To
facilitate his Dreparatlon he desired to re
main here during the summer, while the
other members of the family were much of
the time at Bar Harbor.
s I have since learned. Miss Kevins, in
company with her sister and her father,
came to Augusta on Monday, August 16. On
Friday, September 3, IS days after her ar
rival in Augusta, my son, who had never
seen her or beard her name until she camo
here, left his home without permission and
without the knowledge of any member of
his family, and accompanied Miss Xevins.
and hei sister to their mother in Kew Tork.
On Saturday, the 4th, the two young persons
presented themselves to yon for marriage.
The Dispensation Procured.
Through my eldest son, Walker Blaine,
who went to sew York as soon as I heard
these unhappy tidings, I learn that James
misrepresented his aire to von. statino- that
he was within a month or two or 21. But ho
did not (according to your own narrative to
my son N alker) conceal from you the vital
fact that he as a minor; he did not conceal
from you, but openly avowed, that I had no
knowledge whatetcrof his intention to bo
married, or that his special design was to
keep all knowledge of it irom-me. In this
concealment be sought your aid and abet
ment, and you held his secret under consid
eration from Saturday until Monday agree
ing with my son not to advise any member
of my family of his rash puroose. You took
him to the Archbishop, In order that a dis
pensation might be secured to enable Miss
Kevins, who was reared a Catholic, to marry
my son, who was bom, baptized and reared
a Protestant You know that during the
long Interval in which you were making
these preparations I was within a moment's
reach by telegraph, and yet yon never gave
the slightest Intimation to me, the most
deeply interested and responsible run-f
in defense of this conduct you alleged to
my son Walker the confidence reposed In
you as a priest by my son. The confidence
of the confessional Is always respected, bnt
by your use or confidences reposed in you
outside the confessional, even by those not
of the Catholic communion, you perforce be
come an accomplice before the act of any
crime or any Imprudence to which you may
listen. It is not for me to ad vise a minister
of your intelligence that your position Is
absolutely untenable, would bo dangerous
to society, and would not be respected by
any court of the land.

You further alleged, in justification of your
action, that ir you had not performed the
ceremony some one else outside your com

of a priest and a man. You might as well

would murder him with a dagger.

Mr. Blaine Blames Marie Kevins.
When I wrote this letter I believed tlfat
Miss Kevins had no other responsibility! in
the marriage than in consenting to my soli's
appeal and was blame worthy for this alone.
Since then I am prepared to saytbatfthe
marriage was arranged by her far more ipsa
by my son; that she did everything to pro
mote it; suggested every arrangenfent;
anticipated and provided for every emer
gency, and that, in fact, but for her personal,
active and untiring agency, the marriage
would never have taken place. In this she
showed knowledge and forethought not to
be expected in a woman of 21 years.
Within ten days after her arrival in
Augusta, within one week from the day she
first met my son, she was adjuring him thus
for several successive days :

When they reached New York, after they
had fled from Augusta, she cautioned my
son not to "forget the 20 gold piece in a
little box for Ducey," and to "look in the
pocket of your gray clothes for the ring."
In short, she took charge of every matter
and directed all the proceedings to the last
minute.
It was thus that a boy of 17 years and 10
months, in some respects inexperienced
'even for bis age, v as "tempted from Tus
school books and his tutor and blindly led
to the sltar by a young woman of fully 21
years, with entire secrecy, contrived byner
f.ii, and with all the instrumentalities of
her device complete and exact
Attempt to Annul the Marriage.
When my eldest son, Walker, went to
New York, as I have related in the Ducey
letter, his object was to see whether this
marriage of my youngest son might not be
invalid or could not be annulled by reason
of his youth. It was met with the assertion
that it was too late for any proceedings to
set aside the marriage, because after the
marriage the bride, instead pf returning to
her mother, had taken passage for Boston
with the groom on one of the night steam
ers on Long Island Sound. She returned
from Boston to Kew York the following
day. He came on home to Augusta. This
fact was learned for the first time by
Walker, a boy's modesty having prevented
my son James from bringing it to my
knowledge.
I purpose next to show, by a somewhat
minute statement of facts and dates, the
falsity of the assertion that Mrs. Blaine
brokeup the marriage relations of my son
auu nis wiie. ane aia not see ner daughter-in-law
until May, 1887, eight months after
the marriage, when, beiner inNew York, the
latter called upon her twice during her two
days' stay. The next time she saw her was
a month later, when about to sail for
Europe, on the 8th of June. She was a
single day in Kew York, and saw the yonng
woman in taking leave.
At the end of 14 months we returned from
Europe and stopped two or three days in
Kew York. We found that in our absence
my son had not only spent his entire allow
ance, but that he was deeply in debt
The Young Blalnes at Augusta.
It was then arranged that both my son
and his wife should come down to Augusta
and have their future determined at a fam
ily council They arrived in Augusta on
Saturday, the 18th of August. Mrs. Blaine
was absent from home on a visit and re
turned Monday afternoon, the 20th, so that
she saw James' wife ior the first time in
Augusta on the evening of August 20.
Within two or three davs I learned th
details of the dismal failure of their Kew
York life, and after full consultation with
Mrs. Blaine and with their free approval, I
proposed.that they should come to live at
Augusta and occupy our old home. I had a
summer house at Bar Harbor, and as I in
tended to spend all my winters in Wash
ington, this house would be vacant if they
did not occupy it The house being large,
I proposed to pay for fuel and light and the
wages of a man, and I wonld furnish them
with ahorse and carriage. I also assured
tnem, in aaaition, the sum ot $2,500 a year
until my son should be able to earn an in

I made the proposition while we were
sitting on the lawn, with my son's wife but
a few feet distant My son went imme
diately over to her, and I know that he told
her in detail iust what mv oiler van. TTr
reply was that she would not stay in Au
gusta on any consideration. He was very
much disconcerted by her decision, and for
the first time informed his mother and my
self of his discontent and unhappiness, "a
fact which was not before known, but which
was not received with surprise.
Estrangement of the Couple.
We then learned that during our absence
in Europe he had become gradually
estranged from her, and her refusal to ac
cept the residence in Augusta was merely
the last of a long series of disagreements
which threatened to make their united life
impossible, and which led finally to a sepa
ration. Disaster is the only legitimate con
clusion of such a marriage.
During the two weeks that my son's wife
stayed at Augusta it became patent to every
member of my family and to everv visitor,
and to no one more than myself, thai a
separation was the least disaster to be
dreaded. The immediate occasion Of her
departure was my son's going to Bangor at
documents for which I telegraphed (I was
occupied with a campaign of the State), and

I wai to speak on Saturday, the 1st of Sep

theaeeung at Ellsworth was postponed to
Mopday, September 8. James spent the
interval at Bar Harbor, and I remained .at
Elsworth.
'n Monday afternoon, after the meeting,
Jimes returned with me to Augusta, and
atf"ivedatllp. m. onlv to learn that his
'ite had cone to New York at 3 P. M.. but
ight hours before. She knew well that
ames would be home that night.
The Final Separation.
Mrs. Blaine had strongly disapproved of
ier departure, and had earnestly urged her
;o remain. She did not then dream that our
son would not follow his wife, or that im-
I minent final separation would come so soon;

least, sadden departure and thejourney to
New York alone with the infant and nurse.
She did not, however, suspect that the
young woman left with any less friendly
feeling toward herself than toward every
other member of the family except my son
James.
Finding the young woman determined to
go, and foreseeing the difficulties in their
path, since my daughter-in-law utterly de
clined the provision I made for their sup
port, Mrs. Blaine repeatedly bade her re
?iember that she would at any moment
eceive the child for any length of time
for one year, for three years, lor ten years,
or for life; that he should receive as all
who know my wife will believe the very
best of care and attention; that she would
put his mother under no conditions what
ever, and that whenever she wished the
child to be returned to her he should be
sent The oner was not accepted, but it
was not declined. It appeared to be re
ceived in the same friendly spirit in which
it was given.
Thus my daugther-in-law left my home,
the only home which, my son could provide
for her. She left behind her, for my son, a
note whose temper and tone are sufficiently
indicated by a single extract;
You knew when you left what the conse
quence or your trip to Bar Harbor would be.
What business had you at Bar Harbort
Why did not you telegraph me and

munication with me you can address Kew

Young Blaine Gives Up Bis Wife.
This was signed simply, "Mary Kevins
Blain,e." On reading this note my son de
clared: "I will not follow her, and. I told
her I would not when she made her threat"
Just 44 days after this willlul departure
she returned to my house, accompanied by
her mother, Mrs. Kevins, my grandson and
his nurse. At the moment of their arrival
there were in the house only Mrs. Blaine,
who was ill, and the servants. Mrs. Blaine
at once arose, dressed and went downstairs,
having previously instructed, her maid to do
everything for their comfort This was the
only'time she ever met Mrs. Kevins. Nei
ther lady advanced to greet her; no hand
was extended to her; but from Mrs. Kevins,
seconded by her daughter, came charges
against her son and herself, so insulting and
so violent that a servant was called in, for
the frankly expressed purpose of acting as
a restraint upon the elder visitor.
On their brief stay of two weeks with us,
and on this one lat visit of two hours, rest
all the substantiations of the statements of
the Judge at Deadwood. Before leaving
for the West I had advised withMraBlaine,
in thj event of the return of her daughter-in-law,
and she acted upon my advice.
Not a word since the separation has been
written by her, nor has she seen my son's
wife,! except on the street in New York,
when not a word was exchanged between
them.
My son was entirely free. No restraint
wss attempted or desired or needed to en
s tot separation. Oa th day of -bis wife's
SrtureTae was as strongly determined as
on the davftf her divorce, not to resume his
relations with her.
Jimmy Not Beld Blameless.
Far be it from me to hold my son blame
less, though when his youth, his uncom
pleted education, his separation from the in
fluences of home, the exchange of a life full
of hopes and anticipations for premature
cares and uncongenial companionship are
considered, I hold him more sinned against
than sinning. But his mother at no time
in thonght or word or deed attempted to
separate this man and his wife. Ou the
contrary, she did not fail, by liberality, by
consideration ana Dy extenuation, to foster
in every practicable way their happiness
if happiness to them had been possible.

ItTZCtktj TELEGRAM TO TUB DISrJtTOIM
Bpbejlu ot Thi Dispatch, I
Wxaaaaroy, D. C Teh. SSL
A glance through the long reports which
accompany the bill submitted to the House
yesterday, putting binder twine on the free
list, shows with peculiar emphasis how far
the Democratic and Bepubllcan parties are
apart on the tariff question. This Is the
first of Mr. Springer's tariff-tinkering bills,
and if the arguments in its favor are a
sample of those that are to come, the public
will be treated to a serial of demagogism
and sophistry, to use jio harsher terms,
which is sometimes paralleled on the cam
paign stump, but not often in the halls of
Congress.
The majority report deserves a place in
history with the thrilling record of the tin
vessel peddlers employed by the free trade
leaders of Ohio in 1890 to drive the country
through and prove by the fictitious prices
asked for their wares how alarmingly the
cost of the household bad been advanced by
the operation of the McKinley bill.
An Old Assumption Over Afain.
The broad ground of the majority report
is that the immense aggregate- cost oi the
twine which has supplanted wire in the
binding of grain in the great fields of the
West is paid by the consumer;' that the
poor man's bread is thus taxed to the extent
of seven-tenths of a cent for every pound of
binding twine used. It is the old and er
roneous assumption over again, to whioh
President Cleveland ignorantly committed
himself, that the cost of an article on which
duty is levied is increased by exactly the
amountof the duty. By intelligent people
throughout the length and breadth of the
land Mr. Cleveland" was laughed at on ac
count of his error, and he was unmercifully
exposed, not only by the Eepublicans, but
by the late Mr. Bandall and the Democrats
w'ho believed with him.
The majority -report, however, does not
absolutely commit itself to this manifest
absurdity. It asserts that "ir seven-tenths
of a cent per pound is added to the price,
'as is probable," then the tariff costs the
farmers of the United States about $700,000
a year; and, of course, finally, this must
come front the pockets of the consumers,
most of whom are poor men and their
families. , "
Advantageous to Western Barons. r
Admitting all this to be true, it does not
appear that it would be a great hardship
for each one of 65,000,000 people to pay his
or her pro-rata share ot (700,000. It is not
probable, however, that if the duty were
removed the price of grain or flour to the
consumers would be affected in the least
degree. The only appreciable gain wonld
be to the pockets of the great "baronial"
farmers of the West, whose wheat fields
stretch from horizon to horizon.
These millionaire "farmers," who, like
the landlords of Ireland, rarely see their
estates, bnt suck from the soil revenues
which they spend in the cities or abroad,
many, of them being citizens of foreien
countries, will be the only beneficiaries
worth considering from the repeal of the
duty on binder twine. It is in their in
terests that the bill is drawn. It is stated
that the majority report was written by M
Bryan, of Nebraska, a very pretty young
man who is making his first essay at legis
lation as the attorney for some of these
great farmers or farming corporations which
nourish in his State.
Mr. Bryan, speaking for the majority of
the Ways and Means, says that this $700,
000 referred to "does not include a large
additional sum charged for profits on the
increased price by the various dealers
through which the produce passed." He
does not say how free trade in binder twine
would reduce this large additional sum
charged for profits.
Porelgn Manufacturers Awake.
Already the manufacturers of Ireland,
Scotland and even ot China are looking for
ward to a possible repeal of this tax. They
have issued circulars to their patrons in
tended to influence the movement of their
allies in Congress, to do temporary duty
only, putting down the price of twine lower
than ever before, but carefully stating that
these prices are subject to immediate change
without notice. The moment this duty is
repealed and the American factories
silenced, as they soon would 'be, the few
great factories wmon control the foreign
product would combine and put up the price
to the present rate or Deyona it.
In the investigation of this phase of the
tariff subject prior to the passage of the
McKinley bill there was manifest a dispo
sition among Eepublicans to put binder
twine on the free list, but for the reason
that it was represented that the manufac
ture in this country was controlled by a
trust The Senate actually voted to repeal
the dnty on this account, but before the
bill was finally passed it was discovered
that the "trust" story was almost whollv
an invention of the baronial lords of vast
grain-growing domains in the West The
pressure resnlted in the admission free of
hemp, jute, sun and sisal grass, which are
used in making the twine, and the imposi
tion of but seven-tenths of a cent per pound
uuiy on twine.
On an Equality TVith Foreigners.
It was ascertained that this duty would
place the manufacturers of the United
States nearly on an equality with those of
foreign countries, the cost of labor here
being nearly 100 per cent higher than it is
abroad.
The Mills tariff bill provided for the ad-J
mission iree oi raw material and a duty of
25 per cent ad valorem on the manufactured
twine, which is about 120 per cent higher
than the tariff imposed by the McKinley
bilk Under the protection afforded by this
tax the manufacture of twine has increased
amazingly, and the growing of hemp has
become one of the important agricultural
industries of the West and Northwest.
Upward of $2,000,000 were paid in wages
last year to American workmen engaged in
the manufacture of twine, and more than
10,000 tons of American hemp were con
sumed. Millions of capital are invested in
the production of hemp and twine, and
both of these industries would be destroyed
by the abolition of a tax which, even If it
were added to the normal cost, would
amount to only 1 cent to each acre of grain,
or about three-fourths of a mill per "bushel.

"reform" of the tariff it Is but a chain of

which, unfortunately, too often tickle the

persons of small understanding. Of course
It is well comprehended that Mr. Springer
does not expect the passage of any of his

The Police Again In Complete Control 100
Arrests Mads Saturday A Dozen Police
men Injured The Evils of State Control
of the Telephones Illustrated.
BEBLUf,,Feb. 28. At 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon the streets of this city presented
a highly animated appearance. This was
especially the case with the Unter den
Linden and the approaches to the Thier
garten, whioh were filled with people, for
the most part would-be sight seers or mere
promenaders. Groups of rowdies and roughs,
which have constituted such a painfully
conspicuous featnre in the streets during
the past lew days, were absent No dis
orderly crowds followed the soldiers as
they. were relieving guard.
The police state that the few mobs which
gathered last night, but which were so
quickly dispersed that comparative quiet
settled down over the city by 9 o'clock,
were led by several men carrying naked
'swords. While the police were engaged in
suppressing these disturbances a mounted
policeman had his skull fractured by being
struck on the head by a petroleum bottle
thrown from a house. Of the many persons
arrested yesterday on charges in connection
with the riots, only Z5 have been detained
in custody.
At 0:30 r. ji. the situation appears to
have greatly improved. The police have
completely regained the upper hand. Al
though large crowds continue to collect
before the Imperial palace, the police have
little difficulty in keeping them in motion.
Strong detachments of mounted police
patrol the disturbed quarters.
About 100 arrests were made yesterday.
Two persons who received dangerous saber
wounds were taken to hospitals. An offi
cial report states that a dozen policemen
were injured. It is reported that one
wounded man lies dead.
During the changing of the guard at the
Imperial Castle, the drawbridge connecting
the Unter den Linden with the castle
gardens is closed to traffic till the soldiers
have passed. A similar precaution is like
wise observed regarding the appearance of
soldiers in many of the main arteries of
traffic leading from the center to the
suburbs of the city.
The Emperor, accompanied by members
of his family, took his usual drive in the
Theirgarten to-day. He was heartily
cheered by the populace along the route. It
is a matter of common remark that
during the recent disturbances the
Emperor and all members of the Imperial
family have always met with a loyal recep
tion whenever they have appeared in pub
lic. The troops, too, have always been
warmly applauded by the populace while
marching through the streets of the city.
This, it is claimed, proves conclusively
that the late troubles have not had
their origin in personal hatred of the Em
peror, and that even the disorderly portion
bf the populace has no animus against the
army, up on whose service the Emperor would
of course have to rely in Vase of a serious
outbreak. The Vorvxiit, the organ of the
Socialists, repeats its" appeal to the mem
bersof the party to preserve order.
AN EX-GOVERNOR UREHATED.
The Tragic End of a Eccentrlo Man Once a

Little Eock, Feb. 28. Between 7 and
8 o'clock this morning, ex-Governor Elias
N. Conway was accidentally burned to
death in his own residence, a small one
story frame building, which was also con
sumed. It is supposed that he was asleep
at the time.
For many years before the late war he
was one of the most conspicuous men in the
State. He was several times State Auditor
and served two terms as Governor. He
was very old and feeble, quite eccentric and
lived alone, 'not allowing anyone else to
sleep on the premises.

A Dashing German Lieutenant In the

New Yoek, Feb. 28. ISpxiall A dash

stir in the saloon of the steamship Au
rania, on the voyage she finished to-day
from Liverpool. He was down on the pas
senger list as Mr. Erhard Krapf, but he
was known to his brother officers at Wur
temburg as Lieutenant Edward Krapf
United States Deputy Marshal Bernhard
arrested the gay young soldier at the
Cunard pier, this evening, on complaint of
Mr. Kurt Hartell and Lieutenant Nick, for
forgery to the amount of $14,000. Bernhard
called the Lieutenant aside, whispered that
the German Consul would like to see him,
and invited him to a cab.
On the way Bernhard told the Lieutenant
that he was a prisoner The Lieutenant
was much broken up. He said he was not
guilty. Just before leaving Germany he
said he went upon a spret with a lawyer
named Wasser, who had just come into a
legacy and was celebrating the event
There was some betting, and the Lieutenant
won much of wasser s legacy, lie had
$1,260 of it left The Lieutenant was intro
duced to General Claassen, one of the Sixth
Avenue Bank wreckers, and the General
welcomed him as a fellow soldier.

Eochesteb, PA., Fe 28. Special
Excitement over the poisoning of members
of the Hartman family and the lad Edward
Chaffee, which occurred yesterday after
noon, continues unabated. Mrs. Hartman
and her little daughter Louisa, who ate
sparingly of the poisonous roots, are recov
ering. Edward Chafiee, who was reported
dead last nieht, is still living, but his con
dition is critical.
Coronor Kring held an inquest upon the
body of young Hartman this afternoon. The
jury returned a verdict of accidental poison
ing from eating, roots supposed to be wild
parsnips. The boys were hunting for sweet
myrrh, which is similar in appearance to
the root found. Edward Chaffee is a son of
the James Chaffee who was killed by a train
on the Et. "Wayne Boilroad at St. Clair
some months ago.

SPECIAL TELEOEAM TO THX DISPATCH.!
PHijiADELFHiA, Feb. 28. It was re
ported to-night that an important shakeup
among the Federal officeholders would oc
cur within a short time, by which United
States Marshal Leeds is to retire to Anake
room for a new man, and by which the for
tunes of the administration, through three
of the important Federal offices in the city,
will be directed by three men from "up the
State." It is said the administration has
had such a thing in mind for some time past,
and the recent pugilistic encounter of the
Marshal is likely to hasten the change.
No definite information on the subject
could be obtained, but a number of poli
ticians said they had heard of it and
thought-there was some foundation for the
report The fact that Mr. Leeds was looked
upon as the representative of the adminis
tration in the recent elections ior national
delegates caused the news to assume more
than usual interest
It was hinted to-night that either Charles
W. Henry, of Germantown, or Captain
Louis Walters had been discussed in Wash
ington as the probable successor of Leeds.
Disappointed in Mr. Leeds.
The administration is credited with being
very much disappointed in Leeds. When
he was named the men who backed him tor
the position said he was a Republican
leader in Philadelphia and would be an in
fluential factor whenever delegates were to
be elected. The recant contest between the
leaders of the city Bepubllcan organization
demonstrated the fallacy of this. While
LeedB was personally stronger than any of
the other administration men, it was
found that he was only able to carry his
own ward and that by a narrow margin.
Now, strange to sav, the very people who
pushed Leeds ior Sheriff, and who were in
strumental in having him named as Mar
shal are after his scalp. They say he has
not fulfilled his promises as a politician,
and that in posing as the representative of
the administration he is bringing discredit
upon President Harrison.
It is believed that Postmaster Field would
welcome Mr. Henry as the new Marshal.
Under the present statns of affairs the
Marshal is the custodian of the Postoffice
building, and Mr. Field would like to have
a congenial person in that position.
i Country Politicians Bight la lb
One report to-night had it that Leeds was
to step ,oU Win order to make way for Wal
ters, who, in turn,- would be succeeded, as a
politician put it, "by another countryman,"
This man, it was stated, was Representa
tive jesse m. uaKer, oi media, The purpose
then was to form a triumvirate, consisting
of Collector-of-the-Port Cooper, Marshal
Walters, and Sub-Treasurer Baker, to di
rect the destinies of the administration in
this part of the State.
This story gains color from the fact that
Walters and Baker have been in Washing
ton a great deal of late. Soth called on the
President repeatedly, and Walters in par
ticular had several confidential interviews
with the Executive. Cooper is credited
with being specially desirous of having the
deal consummated, as the appointmrnt of
Baker would give him the means of break
ing the backbone of "Jack" Bobinson in
Chester and Delaware counties.
GORMAN NOMINATED.
The Kew TorkDlssensIon Used as an Argu
ment for the Maryland Senator's Ben

Ticket.
Baltimore, Feb. 28. Special. ? Sena
tor Gorman has been formally put in nomi
nation for the Presidency by the Easton
Democrat, the organ of Senator Gibson, who
at present stands very close to his col
league. There is a strong personal as well
as political friendship between the two
Senators, and Mr, Gorman was at least
aware that the article would appear. In a
two-column editorial the positions of the
other Democratic possibilities are discussed
at length, particular attention being given
to the fight between Hill and Cleveland,
with the conclusion that neither can carry
New York State, while Gorman, who is
very popular in that State, can combine all
the elements.
"Very many believe," says the Democrat,
'that the only Eastern man who will de
velop any strength at Chicago is Senator
Gorman. Governor Boies is suggested for
his running mate. The Democrat compli
ments Cleveland for his wise and conserva
tive administration, but says tariff reform
was the Democratic slogan before Cleve
land was ever heard of. It indorses Cleve
land's tariff reform measure, bet says:
"There are tens of thousands of patriotic
Democrats in the United States who con
demn his silver letter, written, as they sup
pose, in the interest of Wall street gold
bugs." These thousands would prefer a
man sound, as they believe, both on the
tariff and'on the currency nearly all the
bona fide farmers holding opposite views to
the ex-President on this question.
After eivingthe skeleton of what the na
tional platform will contain, including "a
demand for a silver dollar which shall be
of the intrinsic value of every other dollar,"
the Democrat discusses the internecine war
in New Tork. Senator Hill is lauded for
making the State solidly Democratic,
despite the violent opposition of the Mug
wumps, but the Democrat declares it would
be unwise to nominate either Kew Yorker,
hut to select some one outside of the State
who could carry it "Senator Gorman,"
concludes the editorial, "is popular with
Cleveland's friends 'because or the service
he rendered them; he would not be antag
onized by Governor Hill; he can carry.New
York, and, if nominated at Chicago, he will
be the next.Tresident of the United States."

Beach, of this city, the leader of the Cleve
land Democrats of this section, acknowl
edges that he is in receipt of a lettefrom
Grover Cleveland, referring to thrf move
ment for a contesting delegation fo Chicago.
Mr. Beach, who was Internal Jlevenue Col-
lectQEmderhft Cmvm
S-S-
refuses to divulge the contents of the letter,
hut his inactivity as an organizer leads to
the belief that Cleveland is frowning on the
Syracuse convention as a stroke df bad poli
tics. Wleting's Opera House was engaged
for the Mugwump convention, called to be
ljeld in this city May 30, by Mr. Beach, by
telegraph from Albany. Further than that,
he has not stirred to aid the movement
Speaking of the convention ,to The Dis
patch; correspondent, he said:
I don't care to talk much to-day about the
movement that has Deen started against the
raid-winter convention. I will not speak for
any juemocrat out mvseir. no, notnmg nas
yet been done toward the organization of
Onondago county.' There will be no use for
organizing here unless the movement is
general throughout the State. The leaders
are having a conference in New York to-day,
and prooahly when they have finished we
will know more about what Is to he
done. Tes, I have heard it said that Cleve
land advised that no convention be held In
opposition to the one that has already been
held. I think his idea on the subject is
about the same as mine. The meeting at
Albany acted contrary to my advice, lly
idea was to meet and delegate a committee
of prominent Democrats to mite formal
protest before the delegations from
all the States in the Union against
the Bill convention and the delegates
elected by It The convention, however, de
cided to send a contesting delegation to Chi
cago. No, the movement Is not so much in
the Interest of Cleveland as it is against Hill
and the methods employed by him. We
want the will of the Democrats of the State
only represented at Chicago. We want for
onr candidate for President a man who rep
resents Mr. Cleveland's Ideas on the tariff.
"A convention has been called for May 31
in this city, but will it be held?" inquired
the reporter.
"My opinion is that the convention will
be held and delegates elected to the Na
tional Convention at Chicago. If it should
be decided not to send delegates to Chicago,
I think that the convention will be held
anyway, to show the feeling that exists
among the Democrats who are opposed to
machine methods and snap conventions."

ProC Briggs gave the first of a series of
Sunday afternoon addresses to young men,
before a large congregation in the First
Presbyterian Church, this afternoon. His
subject was "The Aim in Life," and in the
course of his address he had something to
say concerning "the anti-Christian spirit in
the Christian churches of to-day." It was
as follows:
It was the Church, and not the State, that
crucified Christ and made martyrs of
some of its great men. This anti-Christian
spirit of persecution has not yet died out;
it is still extant in the nineteenth century
religion or tue rrocestant cnurcn. xnereare
so-called religious newspapers which hunt
down with bitter eagerness those who at
tempt any change or reform in chnrcb mat
ters, terming such men heretics and traitors
to the cause of Christianity. To-day ortho
doxy Is more regarded in the Cburcn than
good morals. It is the one essential.
I firmly believe that if Jesus Christ should
come now, as He came 1,900 years ago, to re
form thieve and fallen women and to preach
the gospel, He would he persecuted to death
In the streets of our metropolis.
The dozmatlcs of our times have arrayed
themselves against science, Biblical criti
cism and progress, and the man who is in
advance of his times finds them his hitter
enemies at every step. They are building
harriers to shut people out of the kingdom
of heaven. There are many such harriers
to a young man entering into the ministry.
Once within, however, he needs only to be
orthodox and to keep within the bounds of
public propriety. He has no need to be a
follower of Christ in order to maintain a
high place in the Church to-day, but I be
lle v that a man who does not follow Christ
is no true mlnister.though he has subscribed
to the Westminster Comession of faith and
Deen consecrated by a Bishop. Thank
6odr we are now in the throes of a reforma
tion. Prof. Briggs protest against his treat
ment evidently refers to such papers as the
Herald and Presbyter, of Cincinnati; the
Presbyterian, of Philadelphia, and the Kew
York Observer, in whose editorials and cor
respondence Mr. Briggs has been attacked
almost weekly.

The pursuit of the notorious Cooley gang
on the West Virginia and Pennsylvania
State line by the organized vigilantes of
Preston county, W. Va,, known as the
"Circle of Death," continues, and it is al
most certain that within a few days the band
will be located in the mountains. Pittsburg
detectives are among the mountains,
brought here by the large rewards offered.
Bill Turner, the man who was reported
arrested by Sheriff Jackson last week, is
with one of the searching parties, his case
having been settled on his promise to aid
in the capture of his former friends now
his bitter enemies. Saturday Jack Bamsey
sent his regardi to "Bill," informing him
that he would make a target out of Tur
ner's body as soon as ie possibly could
"draw bead" on the individual. Bill Tur
ner is said to have about the same feeling
for Kamsey.
Friday night, after the escape of the
Cooleys from the coal pit, they were tracked
to an old house in Victor Hollow. A pair
of army blankets, yet warm, were found,
but no other trace ot toe recent occupants.
It is well known that the band have many
friends in Fayette county, Pa., and some in
Preston county, W. Va., and that they are
aided in many ways. Among the staunchest
and truest of these is a young girl named
Lide Pastories, who lives near Fair
chanch, Pa., and is the sweetheart of Frank
Cooley.
A WAB SPECK AT BEAVEB FAILS,
The Pennsylvania and the lake Erie Com

Beaveb Falls, .Feb. 28. Special A
merry railroad warris now in progress at
this place between the Pennsylvania Com
pany, operating the Ft. Wayne Bailroad,
and the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Company,
which may end in a resort to physical force.
The Pennsylvania Company, when it pur
chased the Marginal Bailroad, connecting
the Ft. Wayne Bailroad on the west side of
town with the Pittsburg and Xake Erie
road on the east side of town, from Henry
W. Hartman last sumrjeT, shut the Pitts
burg and Lake Ert' Bailroad out from
freight and transfeyadvantages. The latter
company then secured land for building a
track to the mUis of Carnegie, Phipns &
Co. and other inns, and intend-to establish
a transfer yat,d, so it will not be necessary
to make ur, trains at Pittsburg and Kew
Castle. J
To block this project, the Pennsylvania
Com-any purchased six town lots. On Fri
'davinidnlght it quietly unloaded a vast
quantity of railroad material, and yester
day, last night and to-day a big force of
men have Deen put to work. To-night
three lines of track cover the six town lots,
thus cutting off the Lake Erie people from
their new transfer yard and their mill
switch route. To-night a big force of
armed men are guarding the tracks.

Chicago, Feb. 2a-r"We are now practi
cally out 6f money," said a manager of the
great Columbian Exposition, "and Congress
must come to the rescue."
"But if Coneress does not, what then?"
"There is really no 'if this Government
is pledzed in the matter to the nations of
the earth. It cannot avoid the responsibility
It has assumed, nor can.it reasonably expect
Chicago or a single State to carry the load
thns increased under Governmental man
agement. The Fair has greatly outgrown in
scope and expense all original calculations,
andTor this the TJnifed States Gpvemment
is responsible, equally with the local direc
tory." This is the view generally taken here,
both inside and outside of the World's Fai
management (or mismanagement), though,
there are prominent flatfooted dissenters.
'It is a lasting disgrace to Chicago," said
one of the latter, an upright man, a publis
spirited citizen and the editor of a leading
Chicago paper "it is a lasting disgrace to
Chicago that she is thus placed in the atti- i
tude of a beggar before the country after
all the promises and the struggle to obtain
the honor of the great Exposition. Tho
truth is the thing has been mismanaged. -4
from the start; yes, sir disgracefully mis
managed. A Big Thing and Bigger Bills.
"Slay I quote"
"Ko, sir I" he thundered. "What I say
to you is for your own information. I can
not afford to parade myself as a publiccritie
ot my fellow townsmen. But it is the truth.
It is simply an apparent fact. We have
bitten off more than we can chaw, to use an
expressive vulgarism. The business relax
tion between the local and governmental
authorities is on anomaly, and there haa
been nothing but friction' from the start.
There has been but one idea in common,
and that is in piling up expenses. We are
expected to furnish the money,and the Gov--ernment
Directory has started out to spend,
all we can raise and more, too. They all' -want
the biggrst thing in the world, and,
they all want the biggest salaries while get
ting it.
'If I had had roy way there wouldn't
have been a single" salary in the local direc- "
tory. There were plenty of sound, ener- -getic
business men here who would haver
served for the honor and who would haver
stood an assessment of $20,000 apiece be
sides. The spirit of their example would,
have permeated the community and tiled
other moneyed men with enthusiasm. Kot
a dollar should have been voted for tho
managers oi such a patriotic enterprise.
There wouldn't have been any of this talk
about going to Congress for an appropria
tion or loan.

made a mistake in the site, in the first '
place. That mistake will cost jnst the dif-t
ference between success and failure, finan-'
cially considered. It will cost a million. ;
dollars more to prepare the present site'
than it should have done. After all is done
it will be lovelv. no doubt. But the exJ
pense of reclaiming a swamp and making it;
a beautiful park and garden and of building .
great buildings on piles instead of solid
earth, was unnecessary. This additional..
, expense, however, is but a small portion oi'1
los3 attendant upon the mistake in the site.
The chief evil results will be in the gener

string along out all day by the" trninload
when night comes they want to all get horns
at once. They will go around seeing things
until they are ready to drop with latigue,
and then the rush and crush of getting away
from the grounds with the best facilities wa
can now offer will be likely to last a good
share of these people a lifetime. Most of
them will never go again. The loss through,
this alone will be sufficient to make whafr 1
otherwise would be a financial success really
a financial failure.
"Another thing: the elaboration of the-
architectural features of the buildings has
been carried to an absurd degree. They
will cost a third more than they ought
to have cost. The Exposition buildings are?''
but the framework of the picture tho
picture itself is the thin? of real value.
There is no sense or necessity in the vast
expenditure for ornamentation in temporary
buildings for such a purpose. We have not
only started out to excel all other nations
in the size of these structures but have pro
ceeded with an elaboration out of all reason.
That is why we are out of money and the
work but little over half done. And that
is why we present the humiliating spectacle
of begging Congress to come to our aid."
Has Taken Too Big a Bite.
These criticisms of the World's Fair
management by this eminent Chicagoan ap
pear to me to be so just, in the. main, and to
cover so fully the situation as I have' seen
it, that they are worthy of a place in the
foreground. A disinterested looker-on
might amplify certain points therein and
thereby present a still clearer understand
ing ot the matter. Interviews with the
various officials of the local management
and the government management asda
personal inspection of the work at Jacksor
