Philadelphia, April 10. A special dispatch to the Times from Harrisburg, says: The present prospects and anticipations are that the Democratic State Convention on Wednesday will be the most spirited gather ing of its kind held here since the famous convention of 1880, when the Tilden-Ean-dall forces struggled for the mastery with the Hancock-Wallace organization. That ended in a truce and drawn battle, and though one of the rival leaders of that day is dead and the other measurably withdrawn from political activity, many of the con spicuous figures of that fray will be in and about tlii! week's convention. The hotels and boarding houses of the city will be taxed to their utmost capacity, and besides nearly 500 delegates there will be thousands of visitors from a distance in attendance. State Chairman Wright and Secretary Harrity will have rooms at the Commonwealth, Attorney General Hensel and a large share of the regular organiza tion from Philadelphia will be quartered at the Lochiel, while Gufley and most of the recognized anti-Cleveland and anti-Pattison forea-s - ill muster at the Bolton. A vonventlon or YontijrrVmcatK. The vonveution will be largely made up of the younger-men of the party and of those who have been conspicuously active during the period when the State has twice been carried fora Democratic Gubernatorial candidate. It is expected that most of the Democratic Congressmen and State Senators will be present. Of the former, only Mr. Beltzhoover is a regular delegate. The crowning victory of the State admin istration people in Bedford county yester day completes the roll of delegates, and their emphatic control of the convention by at leat two-thirds, if not three-fourths of its entire membership. The Pattisori-Har-rity clement has been mnch strengthened by the early position it took for Cleveland and br the consistency and tenacity with which it has adhered to him. The late popular ground swell in his favor has Tindi cated this judgment, and it has practically identified the Cleveland and Pattison in terests. Strength of tlio Combination. To be sure, there ore some pretended Cleveland supporters who are "agin the administration," and there are some people who avow fealty to Pattison and are cold toward Cleveland, but the union of their forces is very nearly complete, to their mu tual advantage. Hence it is that the recent declarations of ex-Senator Wallace for Pattison have not made a very profound impression, other than to show the weakness and division of what is termed "the opposition." Gover nor Pattison's friends will entertain no suggestion of his candidacy while Cleve land is in the field, and the small personal fnction which is so malignant toward the Governor and his Cabinet do not regard Mr. Wallace's proposition with friendliness or favor. The few pronounced Hill delegates in the convention were elected weeks ago, when the now crushed boom of the 2sew York Senator was at its summit. The convention will meet at noon on Wednesday, and the preliminaries for the expeditious dispatch of business are well nigh completed. "othin Cut-and-Drled About It. For the chairmanships nobody in particu lar has yet been agreed upon or even sug gested, and the usual committees of cre dentials, organization and platform will no doubt pick out their most experienced mem bers for the respective heads of them. Patient hearing, it is expected, will be ac corded all bona fide contestants, but the bluster and threats of those who have no cae except a purely personal grievance will not likely be allowed to disturb the proceedings of the convention. The plat form is expected to be short, but in no wise uncertain in its tone toward Cleveland or Pattison. Among those who are forecasting the action of the convention surprise is ex pressed that Mr. Gufley is making such elaborate preparations to contest Mr. Har rity's seat in the National Committee, when the drift of the election for State dele gales has been so overwhelmingly in support of the Secretary. Han-it y's Assurance of Snrcest. Outside of Allegheny, Northampton, Westmoreland, a few Philadelphia districts and some scattering smaller connties, Har rity's election has been practically indorsed or acquiesced in, and the already well as sured composition of the delegation to Chi cago leaves no doubt that more than three fourths of it will be friendly to him. In most districts the election of delegates to the National Convention was involved in the choice of State delegate', and they can therefore be predicted with reasonable cer tainty. From the country districts the represen- tation of fresh, young, vigorous local lead ers will be unusually large, numbering among them O. B. Dickinson, of Delaware; A. M. Holding, of Chester; John A. Ooyle and W. B. Given, of Lancaster; J. Heston Todd, of Montgomery; Robert E. Wright, of Lehigh: T. T. Lenahan, of Luzerne; S. P. Light, of Lebanon, and most likely Mayor John A. Fritchey, of Dauphin: John Henry Cochran, of Williamsport; Horace Keesey, of York; E. H. Shearer, of Cum berland; J. M. Reynolds, of Bedford; S. L. Mestre2at, of Fayette; S. B. Griffith, of Mercer; W. W. Clendennin, of Lawrence, any many others, all of whom are set down in the Cleveland-Pattison column. HARRITY HUMPS HIMSELF. The Secretary ot State Hastens to Talk of the Declaration of Wallace for Pattison He Says Pattison Won't Go Back on Cleveland. Philadelphia, April 10. When spoken to in reference to the reported declaration of Senator Wallace in favor of having the Democratic State convention indorse Governor Pattison as a candidate for President, Secretary of. State William F. Harrity said: "I know whereof I speak when I state that Governor Pattison has not consented to have his name placed before the coming Democratic State convention as a candidate for President either as the first or second choice of the Democracy of Pennsylvania, I am sure that any move ment started for any such purpose would not meet with his approval. Governor Pat tison is unquestionably very strong Jn the affections and confidence of tho people of this State, and if Mr. Cleveland were not a candidate, I believe the Governor would re ceive the united support of the Pennsvl vania delegation to the Democratic Na tional Convention, as he would of the dele gations from somp other States. Bnt the Democrats of this State favor Grover Cleve land for President, and tho State Convention is certain to Indorse him with emphasis and cordiality. Those who mean to give Mr. Cleveland their sincere and earnest sunnort are among tno warmest fiicnds that Gov ernor Pattison has In Pcnnsvlvanta, and I can assure you that they will do so with the unqualified approval of the Governor him self. Wallace Acting In Good Faith. "The declaration of Senator Wallace was. of course, made In good faith, but the effect of adopting the suggestion that Governor Pattison should be supported by the Penn sylvania delegates would be to materially prejudice Mr. Cleveland's candidacy. Those who oppose Mr. Cleveland have been indus triously nt work for some time past In en couraging other candidates In various States so as to diminish Mr. Cleveland's strength. lr they could sneced in removine him from further consideration they would then combino upon someone else, and In all probability it wonld not be upon any of those who had been used to kill off Mr. Cleveland. "At various times during the past three months," added the Secretary of State, "the enemies of both Mr. Cleveland and Gover nor Pattison were engaged in an effort to confuse and mislead the Democrats of the State. Their literarv bureau was at work in some places telling Democrats that some of ns were not loyal to the Governor because we tavoied Mr. Cleveland for President: in other places they were Informed that we were not for Mr. Cleveland, and that we were quietly at woik getting delegates elected to support Governor Pattison; and In still other parts of the State they were told that we were not favoraule to either Mr. Cleveland or Governor Pattison. but that some of us were trying to get delegates elected to aid Senator Hill. In their travels overtheStatetheso stories ovcitook each other, with tho result that tlio literary bureau is entirely discredited and has gono out of business oxrent to indulrre In some personal abnso. I do not wish to intimate that Senator Wallace was a party to these performances, for I am bure he was not. It wrs the worE of smaller met. - A Cleveland-Pattison Convention. "1 think you may depend upon It that It will ue a Cleveland-Pattison convention that will assemble at Harrisburg on Wed nesday next, for Cleveland will be heartily indorsed as the Democratic candidate for President, and Governor Pattison's admin istration will be cordially approved." "What is likely to be the strength of tho various element, that will be represented In the convention?" "The combined partv will scarcely be able to muster 130 out of the 463 delegates. As you know, those In the opposition are actuated by various motives. '1 hose from Philadelphia havo personal grievances against Governor Pattison because of per sonal and political disappointments. Those from tho interior of the State and some from Allegheny county are influenced by their hostility to Mr. Cleveland. Still others urn Jn opposition on general principles. Their chiet aim seems to bo to tear down rather than build up. They are running on the anything-to-beat-somebodv principle. As It looks to me, they will not have one-third of the convention nor one-third of the Com mittee on Credentials to which they havo been giving so much attention." TALK OF THE OPPOSITION. Claims of the Anti-PattisonHns Set Forth by Their Harrisburg Organ It Thinks Harritj's Grip on the Governor Is Too Strong for Wallace to Shake It Oft IIaekisburg, April 10. Special The Patriot (anti-Patterson) will have the fol lowing to-morrow: An interview with ex-Senator Wallace, in which he Is represented as favoring the nomination of Governor Pattison for Presi dent, has ciused some misapprehension of that gentleman's attitude in State politics The fact Is that the ex-Senator, having been very badly treated by the Cleveland ad ministration, even his recommendations of candidates lor postmasters in his owh neighborhood having been ig nored. Is not at all in love wltii the candidacy of the ex-President. He is doubtless, w tiling to support the Governor's aspirations In prelerenco to tho nomination of Mr. Cleveland. But It is well understood by his close friends that he has said to Gov ernor Pattison that unless the Governor sends Harrity about his business and con sents to a fair and Just settlement of the dis puted seats in the State Con ention for the county of Philadelphia, the delegation to Chicago cannot be substantially united upon Governor Pattison's candidacy. Mr. Harrity's grip upon the throat of the Governor is so firm and tenacious that even the Presidental bees buzzing around it can not sting it Into relaxation. Ex-Senator Wallace will find, if he has not already dis covered, that Mr. Harrity will not permit the Governor to take any advice or accept any conditions that Mr. Harrity does not approve, aud he certainly will not approve either the advice or the conditions sub mitted by Mr. Wallace to Governor Pat tison. What, then, will be the course or the Clear field statesman at the State Convention? It is well known that he favors Colonel James M. Guffey Tor member of the National Com mittee. Colonel Guffey will be eleoted be yond a doubt, unless Harrity can rough the convention and seat all of his counted-ln and fraudulently elected delegates fiom Philadelphia. Mr. Wallace, being in favor of fair play, will be forced tojoin with the anti-boss element of the convention and to antagonize the Governor's programme. That the Governor sent for the ex-Senator twice and held long consultations with him only goes to show that he realizes the fact that the rainbow he Is chasing is not yet within his grasp. It must have been humili ating, indeed, to His Excellency, to he obliged to send for the man whom ho hates most cordially, and whom he has been pooh poohing as a "back number" In politics. But when a whole si arm of Presidentai bees Is buzzing under one's hat one is likely to do some very queer things. CLAIMS OF THE GTJFFETITES. They Hold a Conference and Now Scent Victory In the Air. HAimisnuno, April 10. Special The anti narrity leaders had a consultation here last night, and after going over the returns of delegates elected to tho Democratic State Convention, they claim outsido of Philadel phia the resnlt stands 211 against Harrity to 168 for him, showing an anti-Harrlty majori ty of 63. Their estimate gives solid Relega tions from 19 connties to Harrity and solid delegations from an equal number 19 to his opponents. The remaining 28 counties have delegations more or less divided on the Harrity question. Tho anti-Harrlty leaders claim that they will certainly prevent any substantial in dorsement of Governor Pattison's candi dacy for President, and that if the de termination of the State -administration to .force the unit rule upon the party is per sisted in, they will insist upon instructions for Cleveland which will bind the delega tion so that they cannot get away from the ex-President at all. The anti-Harrlty peo ple claim that the alleged attitude of Sena tor Wallace in favor of Governor Pattison's candidacy, and tho fact that the Governor sent for the Senator twice has set the stralghtout Cleveland men to thinking. HARRISON MAY DECLINE. He Tells Wanamaker He Wants the. Party Harmonious The Postmaster General Warned to Keep Away From Quay Tho Senator Again Booms Blaine. Philadelphia, April 10. Special There will be no reconciliation between Senator Quay and President Harrison, and as a result Mr. Harrison may eventually not be a candidate for renomination. A few days ago Congressmen Bingham, O'Keill and Beyburn, accompanied by Postmaster General Wanamaker, called upon the President to urge him to forget the past and receive Quay. This was with the idea that the Pennsylvania Bepublican Conven tion, to be held on the 20th, would declare for Harrison and assure him of the 61 dele gates or the State. The surprise of the gen tlemen was great when the President turned to Mr. Wanamaker and said: "The less you have to do with Mr. Quay the better it will be for yourself. He Is not a lit man to associate with." Following this up the'President said that he was not so certain about accepting a re nomination unless he was assured that the party was harmonious, and that it would stana togetner on an questions. He said ho saw here and there evidences of dissatisfac tion, and that he preferred to stand aside ratner than to place himself in the powerof Mr. Quay and some other men who had at tempted to dictate the terms for renomina tion. The President said to the Congressmen that he would not place the patronage of Pennsylvania in Quay's hands because tho men Quay had recommended to him were no better than himself, and were not fit to hold positions. The President said that If it depended upon Quay that he should get the Pennsylvania ueiegation, men ne wouia not get it. Mr. Wanamaker talked in his most persuasive manner, but it was of no avail. 'And the President warned the Postmaster General, as a good Presbyterian brother, to keep away from Quay. When this was told the Senator he was naturally angered. He immediately.'began to discuss with his fellow Senators the availability of Blaine as a Presidental can didate, and the boom in the interest qt the Secretary last week is due to Quay's work. The gentlemen who wero present at the In terview with President Harrison say that unless Quay, Piatt, Clarkson and the les: are solid for him that Mr. Harrison will de cline the nomination. Up to this time Quay has refused to tell his most Intimate friends who is his Presidental choice. DEMOCBATIC BOLT AT SCBANTON. A Workingmen's Club Has a Delegation to Send to Harrisburg. Eoraktojt, April 10. Special A sensation has been created in local official circles by an extravagant set of resolutions promul gated by an organization called the Work Ingmen's Democratic Club of this city. Tho club, at a meeting held to-day, not only adopted the resolutions referred to, but elected a full set of delegates from this county to the Stato Convention at Harris burg on Wednesday. in tneir resolutions tno workingmen de nounce the corrupt praotlce of buying nomi nations, which they allege Is always resorted to in Democratic county conventions. They also declare that the regular Countv Com mittee of the party Is Illegally constituted, because the rules provide for but 11 mem bers and there are now 2i Tho resolutions also declaie that in the county the wage workers have no say In party affairs, the bosses ruling everything with an Iron hand. The Democratic lcadeis declare that the Worklngmcn's Club is composed of dis appointed ward heelers whose palms are itching for boodle. JUDGE GBESHAH 70S PBESIDENT. Illi Same Expecwd to Head the People's Party Ticket This Pall. Cikcihpati, April 10. Special In quite a large sense tnis city, since the great con ference of all the cranks which gave birth to the People's party, lias been the head quarters of that party. This has been still more the case since the establish ment here of the Herald, managed by a son ot Senator Peffer. It Is no secret hero among the Hshts of the partv that the Presi dental ticket, at least the head of it, has been decided on. Judge Walter Q. Gresham is the man, and a leader high up in the counsels of Poffer's party says the Judge has agreed to accept the nomination. A Southern man will be pnt on 'the ticket with him. It is claimed that a vast organized rail road vote will be cast for him. and that he will carry Indiana, Nebraska, Kansas and at least two Southern States, throwing tho election into the House of Representatives, where the Alliance claims it will hold tho balance of power andsecure Gresham's elec tion. Independents Win In Indiana. Isdiaha, Pa., April 10. Special. Tester day's Bepublican primaries proved a victory for the Independent Republicans and the old soldier contingent. The contest was not based on the Quay-Dalzell fight, but itvas a revolt against the wing of the party led by Elkln and Huff. Captain Nesblt, the""old soldier" candidate, triumphed over S. M. Jack, Huff's candidate, by from 400 to 500 majority. Prothonetary John A. Scott, leader of the independent movement, will' probably defeat W. J. Mitchell. Elklh's can didate, for national delegate. M. C. Watson, Independent, leads Bell by fcOO for State Senate, while John M. Leech nulls through with a slight majority. Seanor and Hosach also defeat Du Morrow for State Legislatuie by about 700 majority. IIcKean Countv Claimed Against Emery. BnADFORD,April 10. Special. The returns from the primary elections in McKean county sent out last night now turn out to have been inconect. To-day It is claimed that Colonel W. W. Brown's delegates aro In the majority, no lost the city proper for delegate to the National Convention.bnt has carried the county by 39 delegates to Lewis Emery's 35. Emery's workers still claim they are not defeated, and say that in the convention thpy will develop sufficient strength to nominate their man. Quay Snowed Under in Bedford. Bedford, April 10. Special Eetums from all but two townships in the county show that the Quay candidates for the Legislature have been completely snowed under. Tho convention, which meets on Tuesday, will he composed of 77 delegates. Uncle John Cessna has now 55, and his vote mav reach 61 Editor W. a Smith will also be nomi nated on the first ballot.

Chicagoans Begin to Think They Will Get Those Millions, bat THERE WILL BE A FIGHT fOR THEM. Third Party Men to Start an Organ With Which They Can Dance. A SENATOR'S EMBARRASSING BREAK ISrECML TELEOKAM TO THE SISrjkTca. "WASHiNorojr, April 10. John Bussell Young, ex-Minister to China, said to-day: "The Chinese correspondence In regard to Mr. Blair shows a series of misconceptions. The Pekin authorities probably never gave the matter other than cursory consideration. The temper in the Chinese dispatches comes from Li Hung Chang, an imperious, haughty statesman, and prone to swift and angry conclusions. It is a surprise that our legation did not earnestly resent the tone of these objections to Mr. Blair, if not the objections themselves. It was a grave departure from the traditions of Western diplomacy with China, traditions which show the courtesy, the patience and the indifference of the Chinese to have an American Minister objected to. The pre cedent is awkward. I cannot conceive a hint of such an intention coming to the Legation without a serious protest. "However.our whole policy toward China since the Scott exclusion treaty has been despicable. Instead of aiding to restrain immigration it has developed antagonism to American progress. Playing Into England's Hand. ""We have never gone as far as the Chi nese would have us in the immigration business and yet what little we have done has been exquisitely offensive to the most polite, the most considerate and. tho most amiable people in tho world. "A rude, uneducated, paltry-minded boor comes Into my diawing room, spreads his muddy boots over tho chairs, lolls about reeking with rum and tobacco, and Is aston ished because I do not deem him a gentle man. This illustiates the Impression wo have made in China, and Mr. Blair was re jected us an expression of resentment not against that gentleman, but on grand diplo matic demeanor In recent ycais. I do not envy Mr. Denby his complications. Wo have played into tho hand of England with an ability and consecutive energy which muse awaken joy in uowning street." Chicago People Expect Those Millions. There is great rejoicing among the friends and promoters of the World's Fair at the announcement that tho sub-committee on appropriations, which Congress authorized to go to Chicago and investigate the con dition of affairs, will submit a favorable re port. It appears that tho Windy -City peo ple captured the Committee upon their ar rival there and presented tficm crlth a state ment which estimates that, the total re ceipts of the Fair will aggregate about $36, 000,000. The expenditures are estimated at $23,000,000, thus showing a profit of $13,000,000. Tho sub-committee leturnedto Washington to-day, and it is expeotcd that they will bo ready to make their report to the full com mittee within a few days. It Is said that the sub-committee was favorably impressed by the showing made by the managers of the Fair, but there is room forciiticism in several particulars. For instance, the sub-committee was not at nil pleased with the management of the bureau of publicity and promotion. Thev win probably report that branch of the enterprise as extravagant and of little value from a business standpoint. They claim, in fact, that it is a promotion bureau that does not promote. A Spirited Fight Bound to Come. There is going to be a spirited fight over the proposition to pass the $3,000,000 loan, which it is understood the Committee on Appro priations will tcport favorably to the House. Some of the Southern and Western men, who havo not forgiven Chicago for stealing the Democratic National Convention, de clare they will prolong the session to an in definite period rather than help the passage of the pioposed bill. AlLof tho big men of the Fair are ex pected to arrive here within the next two or throe days to try and lobby tho bill thiongh Congress. Theie is a very decided opposition In certain directions, and it re mains to be seen whether the friends of the measuie aie strong enough to overcome it. The indications are that It will be tho great est struggle of the session, and both sides are preparing for a long and desperato en gagement. An Organ for the'' Third Party. Jerry Simpson and his "third party" friends in Congress have concluded thoy must have an organ tnat will play the stylo of music they can dance to. To that end a meeting was held In this city a few even ings ago, at which only "third party" men were present. After a general discussion of the situation, thoy decldod that the Econ omist, the Farmers' Alliance paner, is not In touch with the "third partyV and that therefore It is necessary to have an author izedvjrgan of the "third party" at the Capi tal of tbe nation to foster and encourage the new movement. The paper is to bo started on a capital stock of $10,000, and it was estimated that the first Issue will have at least 20,000 sub scribers. There was considerable discussion over the selection of an appropriate name for the proposed organ, and this matter was left to a committee of three. Mr. Stmnson became quite angry when a facetious anti Third party man suggested that tho De moralizer would ho a good name for it. As an evidence that the new"paper is to be the "hated rival' of tho Economist, tho "Third party" men have Induced W.A. Dun ning, the editor of that journal, to accept the editorship of the new enterprise. The date of theflist issue has not yet been de termined upon. Jerry Simpson and Tom Watson, the two Third party leaders in the House, will also assist In the editorial de partment. Betrayed by a Pocket Pistol. 'There was an amusing unreported inci dent in the Senate tbe other day about the time when Kenresentative Funston, of Kansas, was making his exhibition in the House in respect to prohibition charges of tippling nt the Capitol restaurants. Avery distinguished Senator (one of those, by the way, enumerated In the list complained of by Mr. Funston) was making for the clerk's desk to ask a question. His nearest route led between the scats of Senators Morgan and Butler. Mr. Morgan's desk was overhung with books and documents relating to his silver speech, and the Senator, in order not to dis arrange them, lifted his coat-tails so as to cut as narrow a swath as possible. As ho did so a pint flask filled with some brown liquid fell to the floor and broke with a i e soundlng crash. The Senator colored up, but, without turning his head to survey the damages, or to assume responsibility for the Incident, went straight on. A nimble page sprang to the rescue, picked up the pieces and mopped up the liquid. The Excitement at Kingfisher Intense. Washieqtow, April 10. The attention of Commissioner Carter, of the General Land Office, was to-night called to the dtspatoh from Guthrie, Okla., relative to the excltemeut occasioned at Kingfisher as a re sult of tbe instructions sent from Washing ton to land officers at that place and at Oklakoma City, prescribing rules for the opening to settlement of Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands. The Commlssonor said the telegram as sent to newspapers from Wash: Ington was strictly coriect. The Cominis- sloner further said: "For many years the rule has existed that declaratory statements could be filled only by the Individual in per son or through an agent appearing at tno Land Office." AN EAR FOR HIS PENSION. Atrocities on a Helpless Veteran Practiced by Burglars They Drag a Woman From Bed and Subject Her to Fatal Tortures fiendish Ingenuity Exhausted. Hollidaysbubo, April 10. Special. Two high-handed outrages occurred here last night. Three masked burglars entered the house of John Daly, a soldier aged 65 years, to steal his lately-drawn pension , money. They bound the hands and feet of the old man, tied him to a chair, and when he refused to tell them the whereabouts of his wealth they tortured him frightfully by slowly stabbing him in the neck with a knife and holding a lighted lamp under his ear, burning that feature to a crisp. Still, the old man bravely kept his secret. One of the lobbers then deliberately knocked him senseless with a blow on the head with his revolver. They then ran sacked 'the house, chopped tbe floor open with a hatchet and tore the plaster off the walls to And Daly's treasury, but were un able to discover any booty, and finally de parted after brutally kicking the uncon iclons man. They next went to tho house of Miss Ollva McDowell, an aged aplnstor. She was dragged from her bod. bound In a blanket. gagged and tied to a bed poit. Thov bar barously tortured tho woman to force her to tell whet o her money was kopt, A pen knife was jabbod Into her skull several times, and her loft eye Is permanently ruined owing to a blow from tho butt end of a revolver. J3oth of the old people were found as described, and the greatest excite ment ensued. It is feared Miss MoDowell is fatally injured. There is, as usual, no clew to the robbers, but several posses have been organized and are scouring the country, while several suspected houses in this place are being closely watched. DETEBMINED TO DIE. A Father, Seeing His Child Burning, Tries Every Means of Suicide. Wheeling, April 10. Special A horrible story comes from Midway, 20 miles up the river. The residence of James Hawley caught fire in some unexplained way last night, and was burned to the ground. Mr. Hawley, his wife and her sister were in tho the second story asleep, and a 10-year-old adopted son, Joseph Linton, was asleep in the attic. The three grown people were awakened by the crackling of the burnlnz timbers and escaped through the windows with difficulty in their night clothes. The bov was burned to death. When Mr. Hawley saw that the boy could not escape, he became for the time a raving maniac, and, seeing the lad's burning bed, he ran in among the embers, threw himself down on his face and sought to cut ills throat on the pieces of broken glass which had fallen there. He was removed, and while being led to a neighbor's ho tried to break away and sprang again into tho burn ing building. This being also prevented, he dashed his head against a post standing beside the road in an effort to dash out his brains. He also banged his head against the wheels of a heavy wagon, and made other insanely determined efforts to kill himself. His barn was burned bv an incendiarv Borne time ago and a lot of his live stock were poisoned. It Is believed the present fire was of Incendiary origin. NEW YORK SMILES AGAIN. Dr. Parkhnrst's Sunday Closing of Saloons Has a Sad Relapse. New Tore, April 10. Special The artifi cial drought caused by Dr. Parkhurst's ex traordinary activity has disappeared like summer warmth before a wintry blast. Perhaps, like summer, it will call again, .but with "nods and becks and wreathed smiles" the barkeepers expressed their doubts about it to-day. It was not exactly good drinking weather, but there was no need of good citizens getting dry, ior half the saloons in town were open. Saloonkeepers who kept open took a little more precaution thamusual, but otherwise things wero about the same as they wore before Dr. Parkhnrst went Into the saloon closing business. Tho big places were open, and in a great many of them there was not even a man at the door, and anvbody conld walk right in. Most of the smaller ones, however, had a man behind the bolt and chain who allowed only familiar faces to pass him. CHICAGO'S MAY DAT. If Police Permit, the .Lake Front Will Wit ness an Eight-Hour Demonstration. CnicAoo, April 10. A grand international eight-hour demonstration will take place Sunday, May 1. It is estimated that mem bers of trades unions, socialistic societies and their sympathizers to the number of 20,000 will march through Chicago's streets on that day. The great crowd will gather at the Lake Front after it has paraded the city, and a dozen speakers will speak In English and German on the wrongs of society In general and the benefits of the elghtihour day In particular. The latter arrangement hinges, however, on one proviso If Chlor of Police M;: Claughey will permit speech-making on the Lake Front. He will also have something to say about the color of the flags carried on that day. On neither of theso subjects has he yet been approached by the labor leaders.

" ' -, mon lntneunuren 01 b.. rsTU ,'n- gelist this morning, discussed (rrt 'T,'-t -'k tiuuus visits 10 uisurueriy uuuse, as - j' augurated by Dr. Parkhurst. Before be ginning the sermon, Dr. De Costa said he had the highest regard and respect for Dr. Parkhurst, and that he agreed with his principles, but not with some of his con clusions. Then he proceeded to fire hot shot at all the so-called municipal reform ers, including tne ministerial witness of the "circus." The text was Numbera xxxii, in the 20th, 21st, 22d and 23d verses, which include these words: If ye will do this thing, if you will go armed before the Lord to war, then after ward ye shall return and be guiltless before the Lord. But If you will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord, and be sure your sin will And you out. The Proper Plan of Campilgn. Dr. De Costa's sermon was attentively listened to. He began by saying: This, then, is the sum of the text, that men who want' to make a successful cam paign with lasting results must make it a clean and righteous campaign: a campaign into which they tako tho sacred ark; a cam paign into which thoy carry the Ten Com mandments; a campaign in which they march before the Lord; a campaign in which they refuse to touch idols, absolutely ab horring the Idea that a good end sanctified bad means. To-day tho charge Is that the police are not content with their wages, and that they levy additional taxes. The proposed reform with us is this, that they shall stop levying such additional taxes. In this tho reformer has with him every man and woman now said to be paying such taxes. Those pel sons said to be paying Illegal taxe3 do not like It, and will be much obliged to yon ir you will rise up and mako an end of It; but as for the vice at the bottom of all this, and which we know to exist, there Is no proposition to mane an enu oi tnis. mueea, respectanio religious teachers and medical men openly declare that vice ought to be lessened. Strange Ideas of Some .Reformers. You search society in vain for any indica tion of a disposition to undertake moral re form. Multitudes of people havo strango ideas about the improvement of society, and they concern themselves chiefly In repent ing of other people' sins, notablv the sins of tno ponco anu osner puDiic oinuais. xna moral condition, I have no hesitation in saying, is worso to-day than it was two months ago. The great demand of our day is the de mand for personal religion and higher moral standards of thought and aotlon. We should, of course, always -strive to do our best and put the best men in office. Remem ber that the good man in office will be power less unless supported by pure public opinion. But pure public opinion does not now exist, and the man who, In tbe face of over whelming wickedness, undertakes to ad minister the laws of the municipality in ac cordance with righteous principles, will bo overtaken by a storm of Indignation. Public opinion must first be reclaimed, then puri fied. Only then shall we be prepared to deal with this awful wickedness that now successfully defies the law. I therefore pre sent to you the religion df Jesus Christ as tho only clement that can secure the reform, and the living Christian, cleansed of all duplicity, tho only reformer. Another Preacher Criticises Parkhnrst. Eev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhnrst's recent visit to and entertainment in Hattio Adams' East Twenty-seventh street house furnished the theme for the sermon which Rev. Joseph H. Rylance, of St. Mark's Protestant Episco pal Church, delivered this morning. "Tne Clergy and Social Morals" was the subject, and be took occasion to not only adveisely crltlclso Dr. Parkhurst's methods of social leform, but also to express his dissent from the position of the Idealists who, ho said, are attempting to reach the millennium at a bound. Ho incidentally took occasion to state it as his opinion that it is not neces sary to investigate as to the sonrce of money given to churohes or charity, like Jay Gould's recent gilt of $10,000. Dr. Rylance took tor his text Ezeklel xvii. Si "Son of Man, I have made theo a watchman unto the House of Israel; there foio hear the word of my mouth nnd give them warning from me." His leferenco to his fellow preacher'3 midnight visit to Mrs. Adams' was pieceded by an attack on radi cal leformeis the fanatics of reform. He said: "Men of an eager tomnerament are car ried away by indignation against prevail ing abominations, saying and doing indis creet things under such Impulses. That construction we must put upon a strange episode in the experience o an eminent clergyman of our city of late, with accounts of wuioh tho ears of the people are still ring ing. Mad at the toleration of foulest vice by thoso whom wo commission and pay to stamp it out, this clergyman went and saw with his own eyes lntamies, too terrible to tell of, to fortifv himself with evidence to conyict those guilty of such atrocities. Better Ways to Beach Besnlts. "But, suroly, there was a more excellent way of getting at that end, or, If onr pollco authorities are so callous to the alleged enormities as not to De moved to the re pressing of them but by these sensational exposures on tho part of clergymen, then are our municipal morals In a vile condi tion. But this alternative I, for ono, should be slow to accept. While It may he feared that the unsavory exposure has done harm to natures uninitiated m tne knowledge of desperate wickedness, wn are told that we mav hope now that our city will be purged of its pollutions. "A serious hindrance to the influence of the clergy for good In the regulation of Dnb- 11c life is found in the fact, as a class, that they aie such Impracticable Idealists or sen timentalists. They will persist In refusing to see that social or political science has to do with that which is workable, and that it must be content to aim at this, dismissing ideals from tbe circle of its outlook, or post poning their lealization indefinitely. Not what Is absolutely or Ideally the best do wise reformers set themselves to attain, but thnt which Is attainable, only taking the next step toward reaching tho ideally perfect when they are ready for it, or when tho com munity they are seeking to serve mav bo leadyforlt. But how vigorously do our re ligious teachers, ormany of them, resent and denounce these hnlfmeasuios as cowardly and treasonable to the truth and righteous ness?" In this connoctlon Dr. Rylance referred to the liquor question for an example or the failure topioceed properly toward reform. "Until the friends of temperance agree to prosecute reasonable, practicable measures for Its suppression," said he, "by indirect approaches, if It cannot be got at at a bound, tho dream of Prohibitionists will not be re alized."

Two of Them in Chicago Were Reaping a BIch Harvest TThen Detectives Pounced Upon Them They Gull Their Victims by a Bemarkablo Circular. Chicago, April 10. A clever confidence game has j'ust been broken up here by the arrest of the two bright young men who have been working it. A few days ago the police came in possession of a circular bear ing this letter head: "H. N. Eoyal & Co., New Orleans, New York, Chicago and Omaha. Financial standing, 51,000,000." It was dated Chicago, March 28, and oflered to arrange matters so as to enable the person to whom the circular was addressed to make $1,000 without a cent of cost to himself. The only thing required in return was "absolute and total secrecy," to insure" which the sender inclosed two oaths exactly alike, one of which was to be signed and returned by express. The Arm agreed to send by express full particulars, and a check for $1,000 as soon a3 tho oath, properly signed, was re- flry " was thought the scheme was a new -me. Detectives 'visited every express nice In the cltv and found that a great number of express packages were being forwarded to Room 8K at 185 Clark street. Yesterday Detective McDonald found a pretty young girl alone in the office. She was signing an express receipt. She said she did not know what business was con ducted in the room, as she had only been employed there since Thursday. A well-dressed, good-looking young man walked in and was promptly arrested. At the Central Station he said bis name was L. A. Dumas, but from letters found on him it was believed that his name is Frederick G. Bonflls. The man broke down nnd told the details or his scheme. At Bon flls' lodging room a bright young man. fash ionably dresied, was arrested. In the room were found 30,000 lottery tickets in exact imitation of tbe ticket of the Louisiana State Lottery Company for a drawing. Both men acknowledged the3' had every thing ready to send out the tickets and reap the harvest. The prisoners had plenty of money. Both men camo from New York to Chicago March S, and are believed to havo worked their swindling scheme in the East. Bonflls is said to bo a graduate of West Point, and to be a member of a prominent family In Missouri. A HORSE THIEF TRUST. The Campaign Against Bustlers Discloses a Startling State or Aflalrs The Bob bers Have Sales Agents In the East Wholesale Slaughter for Revenge. Miles City, SIoxx, April 10. Montana men are not anxious to post the general public concerning the raid against rustlers in this State and "Wyoming. The news has been given out, however, that 500 deter mined cowboys are trailing the thieves, and the prospects are that reports of bloodshed will soon come from other places, in addifl tlon to that which has been received from Billings, Mont. "Rustlers" are the cattle and horse thieves of the Western ranges. It is believed they were organized this Bpring into a larsre com bine, and had agents both in tho Western States and at the Eastern markets. It Is known that they undertook to rduudnp the cattle on tho ranges this year without pay ing much attention to the regular round ups oi the recognized Live Stock Associa tion. Last year the thieves were outwitted to a considerable extent, and when the beeves whieh they had stolen reached the ,t.aswrn marKets ineywore seizeu uy tut, in spectors or detectives of tho Western Live Stock Associations, and the proceeds of their sales were placed subject to claimants in the treasuries of the Live Stock Commis sioners. Thousands of dollars of such money still lie in the treasury or the Wyoming Live Stock Association at Cheyenne. . For this reason, principally, tho thieves started out on an early round-up this year, hoping to head on the cattlemen by early selling of stolen stock. Since tbe raid began the rustlers have undertaken to re taliate by an indiscriminate and wastoful slaughter of cattle and horses belonging to the cattlemen. The number of cattle they have stolen and destroyed Is almost beyond estimate, and their stealings or horses are estimated to have reachod 10,000 head. H0BE BOMBS 15 FRANCE.

He told a reporter to-day that Deacon has a per fectly clear case, and that evidence will be produced at the trial completely refuting the calumnies of certain French papers. A cable dfspatch from Madrid says: Munoz, the Anarchist, was arrested to-day and was examined in prison by a Judge, who ordered a close watch on all the dyna mite prisoners. A bag containing explosives, grenades and more formidablo projectiles was tound Saturday night at the gate of the Hospital for Army Pensioners.

Any Form of Government Good TYIucli Fulfills Its True Mission. ADTANCED TIEWS OX SOCIAL TOPICS ASSOCIATED CTtESS COEBESPOXDZSCE.J Eosie, March 24 Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, speaks as follows in regard to Pope Leo XLTX : "The letter of Leo XIII. to the President of the European Commis sion of the World's Fair is an unusual doc ument and has surprised churchmen of the old school, tenacious of traditions and forms. The Pope is constantly giving new proofs that he 13 really the pontiff of his) age, understanding thoroughly its aspira tions and methods while reproaching its! evils, encouraging its healthful throbbiugs, blessing its achievements, opening new vistas to its hopes. "A fevr weeks ago he broke with time honored customs, which, under plea of guarding his dignity, confined his power, and in an interview with a Parisian jour nalist addressed himself to the public press, to the people of France, upon the gravest political and religious questions: Popo Leo XIIL's Latest Utterance. "To-day he opens his mind in a most cor dial letter to a non-Catholic gentleman, and through him to a nation largely non Catholic, bidding godspeed to the gigantic enterprise which on the shore of Lake Michigan Is to bring together, as never be fore in the universe, the fruits of the earth and tho work of tno genins and Industry of man. "Leo finds words of soulful greeting for all men, whether they be without or within the fold; nor is ho mindful only of the world to come. All that tends to the betterment of. tho present life Interests him and wins his approval. All thU is true religion, of which Loo is the truest pontiff. "The letter to the representative of our exhibition Is another manifestation of his his high esteem nnd warm love for tho United States. When promising to give tho letter, in the audience accorded to Thomas B. Bryan, be bad said that he wished it to be taken as a token of his most friendly senti ments toward our country. "I could quote numerousipstances,amon: which are numerous expressions which I had the honor of listening to myself, as proofs that there is no other European per sonage of note so American In his thoughts and sympathies as X'ope Leo XIII. The American tho Ideal Bepnbllc "He see3 In the United States tbe perfect blossoming of this national liberty which he so ardently desired for all nations, the full est stature of thhi jnodsrn democracy, which he understands so well, and to which ho knows the future or Christian civilization must assuredly belong. Indeed, I ventnre without fear of being mistaken, the asser tion that tno Popo lias derived from the United States, if not a good share or tho democratic inspirations which he has been sending out over the world from tho Vatican, at least a solid encouragement for them. "In this we will take honor to ourselves. American influences are reaching out ove all lands. Whatever be the precise outward form It may wear, the Government of all countries henceforth wilt be a government of the people, by the people and for the peo ple, and America will have largely contrib uted to tho transformation. It is no wonder that the first statesman of Europe studies us attentively and gives ns lrNJove. May we be always worthy of our great mission In the world, and of the deep interest which is always taken in us. "The itoman Pontificate to-day is em bodied in the greatest intellectual figure of Europe. Ono cannot be long In contact with the person of Leo. or have perused with any care his encyclicals, without being struck with the acutenoss of his mind, the depth and univorsaity of his knowledge. Believes In Ideas, Ifot Wor-Is. no Is impatient ir made to listen to ver biage or lencthy discourses. Pnt berora him ideas in a few short and concise sen tences, and he grasps at once the thought, and his reply is equally precise and preg nant with meaning. Ho embraces at aglanca all the aspects of the case. He knows not in himself what narrowness of view Is, and he detests It in others." "What was the secret of Ledochowskl's appointment." '"I appointed.' he said to me, 'Cardinal LedochowsM Prefect of the Propaganda becanse'he is a man of large views.' His In formation Is most extensive. Bishops and diplomats coming to the Pope from all parts of tho world, each one speaking in his own special business go away, each one believ ing that tho Pope has made a special study or the matter which had been under discus sion. A French writer has lately remarked that Leo knows the social and political world of to-day as well as does the manager of a great newspaper In New York, Paris or London. Ue has all the qualities to be the Pontiff of hi3 age, and he puts them to profit. "His name will go down to history as that of a Pope who understood bis ago, and hnd both the intelligence and courage to pat himself at the helm and guide it amidst its stormiest seas. Ours Is a remarkable period, such a one as appears only at rare intervals in tbe life of humanity. Old Things Have Passed Away. "It is the birthtime of a new order of things, social and political. A now spirit permeates the world. The world of to-mor row will be very different from that of yes terday. During tho years of transition " clouds hang over tho horizon, and only the most acute mind foresees what is coming. The break, too, with the- old traditions Is gainful to many, and courage is required in im who with the Master's voice must an nounce that change. "It is fortnnate for the Church and for tho whole world that in this time of crime the watchman on the tower is Leo. Uesees across tho darkening ocean spread oat be fore him, and he speaks. His encyclicals havo dealt one after tbe other with the pressing questions of tho age, and each one comes ont of the Vatican more signfflcant In tone than tho preceding. "Leo's historic personality has been from the beginning of his pontificate constantly growing In amplitude and In Intellectual meaning, until to-day he is saluted by all, whether adherents of the faith ormereob seryers or thought, as tho first thinker and teacher in the world.
