SPECIAL TELEGllAM TO TIIE DISrATCII.l
Washington, Mar C. Senator Quay
aid not leave Washington last night for
Pittsburg, as he had announced his inten
tion of doing earlier in the day. It was
bis intention to hold a conference with
Western Pennsylvania Itepublicans at
Pittsburg and Beaver, but this has been
ostpoued. The Senator stated that he had
omuch-tolook after in the river and har
nr bill that he changed his mind about
'i;nc to Pittsburg at present. From ap
pearances there was not much sincerity in
he explanation, and it is yet an open ques
lon why the Senatorchanged his plans.
The fact is that the anti-Harrison IJepub
icans, in the Senate and elsewhere, are de
.ending upon Senator Quay to conduct the
amnaign which will result in President
Iarriou"s defeat for renomination. Gen--al
Clarksou, Chairman ot the Republican
National Committee, has guaranteed all his
'nends that if the job is left to Senator
uav, it will be impossible for the President
n receive a majority of the votes at the
Minneapolis Convention. Practically the
utire control of the anti-Administration
nterprise is in the hands of the junior
enator Jrom Pennsylvania, and by unan
uous consent his directions will be fol
ved bv the Republican leaders who are
pposed to President Harrison.
Qnay Keeping His Plans Quiet.
Senator Quay has made visible but little
ft ib plan of operations. He has insisted
hat all Republican possibilities as candi
ates should be boomed as much as possible,
ut that no opposition candidate should be
elected until a conference was held at
linneapolis, prior to the meeting of the
invention. After the arrival of the dele
ates there, and before the convention as
cmbies, would be the most opportune
itne to pick a winner out of the field. This
3 vice has been followed, and from present
ppearances the field will be consolidated
gaint Harrison before the first ballot is
aken.
Votes will be cast for Alger, Sherman,
iusk, Reed and possibly Lincoln. If the
Northwestern Republicans want and can
Tarantee the election of Secretary Rusk,
hey can have him for the nominee. At
.resent his boom has to be gently coneen
rated, as he is a member, of the Cabinet
id cannot personally assist in the und er
aking. lteed Handily Helping the Antis.
The most valuable of the public men as
lsting in the job of defeating President
iarnson is ex-Speaker Reed. He has or--a-nzed
the Xew England contingent so
hat it can be manipulated in the conven
in as emergencies arise. He intends to
e present at the convention and personally
i-.t in creating contrivances for Harri-
ii's downlalL During his absence the
pjiiershin of the Republicans in the House
11 devolve upon Mr. Uurrows, of Michi
in, who is also in the anti-Harrison com-
mation and will checrtully assume the
k.
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
-inland, with the silver States of the
.Vest, are the States depended upon to vote
olidly and persistently against Harrison.
General Clarkson, Chairman of the Re
1'iblican National Committee, is carefully
jursing his rheumatism so as to be able to
i to Minneapolis and cut a few slashes
nth his dirk knife himself. As a matter
f fact, the most sagacious and resourceful
.olitica! talent in the Republican party is
rrayed azainst the President. Secretary
"otter, who is the machine politician of the
"a'iiuet, and who docs not mince matters,
as been unable, either by threats, en
reaties or punishments, to-top the progress
t the anti-Harrison combination. As the
iement hfis so far been conducted with
apoleonic skill and in secret session, as it
e"-, Foster had a hard task to combat it,
ni! t,is failure is therefore not discredit
bie. A Good Deal of Sherman Talk.
There was a good deal of Sherman talk at
he'apitol to-day, and almost as much in
he H 'use. An announcement made in the
Vlhanv Journal, intimating that the anti
!irr -on men in New York had united on
ci;a;..r Sherman, undoubtedly started the
alL. It proceeds principally trom Senators
,11.
opposed to the renomination of
reM.lent Harrison, and who, if they can
.ot sin eeed in bringing Mr. Blaine to the
rr.nt, wfm to be determined upon bringing
.ut one whom they term "the next best
nan."
inc of the oddities of the political situa
ion ol tiMlay was that silver men were ad
ocatme the candidacy of Senator Sherman,
mt thev explained the matter to their
wn "arisfamoa, at least by saying that
heriuan ua no more an anti-silver man
hau Harrison, and he was a good deal more
lolitic. The say, with a good deal ofetn
ihass. that it i. by no means improbable
hat John Sherman will receive unexpected
ctive support in the convention. None of
ieuator Slierm-n's intimate friends cared to
Ucuss the matter, nor would any ot them
e quoted; but there seemed to be a feeling,
ot ol surprise, but of annoyance, because
he possibility of Sherman's nomination had
caked out in advance of the day which had
een set lor its publication.
"It is by no means improbable," said a
tepublican from the Far West, "that the
liver men when assembled at Minneapolis
QUAY
COMBINE
will work tooth and toenail for Sherman
not because they have any use for his views
on the question of silver, but because they
think he can beat Harrison for the nomina
tion, and would be a stronger man before
the people."
Qnay to Meet riatt To-DaT.
Senator Quay and Thomas C. Piatt expect
to hold a conference in this city to-morrow,
to which there will probably be asked
several other influential and prominent
Republicans who are interested in the holy
cause of preventing the renomination of
President Harrison. Several days ago Sen
ator Quay wrote to Mr. Piatt, expressing a
desire to have a talk with him on political
matters. He received a reply to the effect
that Mr. riatt would be passing through
Washington toward the end of the week,
en route to Tennessee to look after his in
terests in coal lands, and that he would then
talk with the Senator. Mr. Piatt is there
fore expected here to-morrow.
Much interest attaches to the coming
meeting between the anti-Harrison Repub
lican managers, who are grooming several
favorite sons in the hope of making a can
didate of one of them strong enough to de
feat the ambitions of the President. Who
the man will be no one can at present te"
lilaine is, undoubtedly, still the ,irme
favorite, although Sherman, Rpsk, McKin
ley. Reed and Lincoln are being canvasse'Jf
each with a host of admirers and loyal'sup
portcrs. .
Qua More Sanguine Than Ever.
Either Ulaine or Sherman could play
havoc with the President's supDort bv an
nouncing himself as a candidate which,
however, neither seems to be at present dis
posed to do. Senator Quav is more than
ever sanguine now of the ability of the anti
Harrison men to find a strong candidate in
the group of eminent Republicans above
mentioned, and all reports to the effect that
he is weakening in his opposition and pre
parini to bow to what the Harrison men
say is inevitable, are incorrect.
A delegation ot well-known Philadelphia
politicians and district leaders was here to
dav, to talk the situation over with Mr.
Quay and learn from his own lips the truth
of the report that lie had admitted the Pres
ident's ability to win, and had accordingly
capitulated. In the delecation were Dave
Martin, William R. Leeds, and one or two
other party managers. Their fears had
been aroused by the published statement
that Senator Quay had enjoyed a protracted
chat with the President yesterday, during
which the Senator took" occasion to an
nounce his entire allegiance to the Presi
dent and his cause.
Mr. Quay assured his visitors that their
fears were groundless, and that he had not
altered one jot in the determined antago
nism to Harrison both as President and a
candidate for the renomination. Further
more, Senator Quar said he had not re
mained with the President more than three
minutes, and had talked with him merely
about a matter of official business.
QUAY FAILED TO C03IE.
The Silent Senator Did Not Get to rirts
bnrg Several of Ills Friends Came,
Though, and Co Away Disappointed
He'll He on Hand Next Tronic.
United States Senator M. S. Quay did
not arrive in Pittsburg yesterday morning
as he was scheduled to da His lieutenants
and political followers from all over the
State did arrive, however, and the failure of
Senator Quay to meet tbem accoiding to
arrangement was to them at least a bitter
disappointment. Ex-State TreasurertBoyer
and Colonel John A. Glenn came in from
Philadelphia just to see Quay. John R.
Byrne, Chairman of the Republican Com
mittee of Fayette countv, and James S.
Beacom, Chairman of the Republican Com
mittee of Westmoreland county, came to
Pittsburg and waited about the Duqnesne
Hotel most of the day, but both denied that
they had come to the city to see the silent
Senator. Republican leaders from Wash
ington, Mercer, Lawrence, Indiana, Arm
strong, Jefferson and other Western Penn
sylvania counties crowded the hotel lobbies
all day. Each in turn asked for Senator
Quay, but when informed that the Senator
had "not vet arrived, each assumed an air of
disappointment and in turn each assured
the other that they had not come to Pitts
burg to see Quay, but had decided to call
upon him if they had been fortunate enough
to find him.
All Were Notifi-rt to Be Here.
Senator Quay had notified his followers
in this end of the State to meet him at the
Hotel Duquesne yesterday. It was the
Senator's purpose to come to this city from
Washington early yesterday morning. The
night previous he telegraphed to one of his
most intimate friends in this city that he
would arrive here over the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad shortly after 6 o'clock yester
day morning. His friend awaited his com
ing at the train specified, but to no pur
pose. C L. Magee did arrive home from
Washington on the train upon w hich Sen
ator Quay was expected Mr. Magee had
left Senator Quay in Washington, but he
would give no reason for the Senator's fail
ure to keep his engagements here.
The presence inthe city of Colonel Glenn
and ex-Treasurer Boyer satisfied the local
politicians that Senator Quay intended
coming here and that he had arranged for
some sort ol a political conference when he
got here, but all of them were at a loss to
know just what had detained him.
A rumor was circulated early in the after
noon that the Senator had quietly passed
through Pittsburg and was at his home at
Beaver. A dozen or more politicians at
once telephoned to Beaver, and
in response to inquiries were in
formed that Senator Quay was not at
his home and was not expected there until
the latter part of next week. Later in the
aternoon it was learned positively that
Senator Quay had not left Washington, but
that he had been detained there by the pro
posed consideration of the river and harbor
DilL
Qnay Coming nero Next Week.
Last night one of Senator Quay's intimate
friends in Pittsburg asked him by telegraph
when he expected to be in Pittsburg. In
response the Senator telegraphed back:
"The last of next week."
Colonel Glenn, who, it is said, has been
slated to take Frank . Willing
Leach's place as Secretary of the Republi
can State Committee said yesterday, that
he knew nothing of the effort to give him a
place on the Committee. He said, however,
that since he had been removed from the
Auditor General's office he was without an
occupation. He believes also that Lieu
tenant Governor Watres will be continued
as Chairman of the State Committee. It is
said that Quay is anxious to have Watres
resign, but Magee and State Senator Flinn
arc urging the Lieutenant Governor to serve
another term.
The Dalzell headquarters were closed
yesterday. No signs were displayed and
no reasons were given lor the temporary
closing. '.'The Dalzell fellows should close
up shop and quit; they have lost the fight,"
Dr. Barchfield said yesterday. Dr. Barch
field is a candidate for State Senator in op
position to Senator Steel.
QUAY DENIES A ST0BY.
Ho rleascs Hustlers lj Sayln Ho Held
No Conference With Harrison.
Pnn.ADEl.rniA, May a Ex-Collector
David Martin, Magistrate Durham and
ex-United States Marshal William R.
Leeds went to Washington yesterday to
sec Senator Quay. Mr. Martin had a long
talk with the Senator about the report
Mr. Quay had called on the President
and the announcement the Senator was al
leged to have made that he favored Harri
son, and that the Pennsylvania delegation
would rote for him on the first ballot at
Minneapolis.
Senator Quay denied that he had made
any such announcement, and the Philadel
phians returned to-night considerably Be
lieved. Most of the delegates from this city
to the Republican National Convention
still believe that Blaine can be induced to
accept the nomination, and not one of them,
except Hamilton Dirstan, favors Harrison.
A ROAST FOR QUAY.
Blair County Republicans Call on Their
Tarty to Defeat nis Re-Elcctlon as Sen
atorThey Call Him Down for His
Attitude Toward the President, for Ono
Thing.
Hol,i,ida.ysburo, PA.,May 6. Spedd.
A formidable anti-Quay movement was
Inaugurated in Blair county to-day, when a
call was issued to the Republican voters.
It recites the Senator's sins of omission and
commission, and requested that instructions
be given at the primary election on Satur
day, May 14, to vote for some other than
Matthew Stanley Quay for United States
Senator from Pennsylvania. The call is
signed by representative business and pro
fessional men, and its issue is attracting at
tention. It is, in substance, as follows:
To tne Hepubllcan Voters of Blair County:
Fully convincod that tho interests of tho
Republican party would be best served by
the selection of some other than 31. S. Qnay
as United States Senator from Pennsylvania,
we come to you soliciting your aid to bring
about such a result.
Wo declare to you that this opposition to
Mr. Quay is not through personal motives,
and we deeply regret the necessity which
compels this action, but havinslnvlew the
best interests of the Republican party, and
also the welfare of our grand old Common
wealth and country, we nre com
pelled to make the positive asser
tion as above, and propose to make
it effective by devoting onr time
and efforts toward bringing about the
desired result, as we believe that a point
has been reached where, unless prompt
action Is taken wltbin tho Republican party
to deprive Mr. Quay of future opportunity
of disastious leadership, tho party of this
State will utterly lail to fulfill its true mis
sion, and will, sooner or later, meet with
final overflow.
Quay Blamed for Party Disaffection.
It is folly to attempt to conceal the truth
that there is much dissatisfaction in the Re
publican party with Mr. Quay as a leader, in
curred by his action In forcing obnoxious
candidates on the party.andby aiding in the
defeat of such legislation as was needed
to secure a free ballot and a counting of tho
ballots as cast by tho Republicans
of the Southern States, by his open
opposition to the patriotio admin
istration of 6o good a. President
as the Republican party jiave the country
(and such opposition was engendered
almost entirely tiy reason of the fact that
President Harrison declined to permit Mr.
Quay to have absolute control of the disposi
tion of the Federal appointments within the
State), by insisting that no recognition be
given to any element of the Republican
party or to any of its leaders who' are not
willing to act with him or bo obedient to his
commands; by having upheld a system
which has compelled many able and honest
Repuplicans to leavo tho party, and has pre
vented them from taking an active pal tin
the iffairs of the country.
The conduct of Mr. Quay has been such ns
Is antagonistic to tho principles of tho party,
which has over hold sacrr.d tho right of tho
individual citizen to freedom of thought
and freedom ot speech.
A Call for United Action.
We issue a call to every patriotio Repub
lican or Blair county who believes that the
advancement of tho principles of tho He
publican party is above and beyond all per
sonal interests and who is opposed to all
political bossism in every form; to all who
desiro to see our great Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania properly represented in tho
United States Senate by the ablest and best
or her Republican sons: all such, und espec
ially the young Republicans ot our part-. In
whose hands tbe future of the Republic rests,
we cordially invite to Join us In this effort
to retire one who has most signally
failed as a representative, and whose
labors have been largely, if not entirely,
devoted to tho advancement of the intetests
of himself and those of his personal follow
ers, instead ot tho lntereits of the State, by
which he has been preatly honored, lavishly
compensated, and yet for all of winch is to
day pmctically unrepresented in the United
States Somite.
We acknowledge that Mr. Quay performod
good service for the party, especially in the"
campaign of 1S38, but for all this we believe
that he has been fully repaid and the party
is not in his debt.
TO ATTACK CARACAS.
A Nephew, ot Ex-President Paul Brings
pottle Definite Iuformatlon.
New Yoke, May 6. Special J. M.
Paul, a nephew of Dr. Rajas Paul, ex-President
of Venezuela and an ardent advocate
of the revolutionary party, arrived here to
day, on the steamship Venezuela. He was
met at the pier by General Tocta Garcia,
who was recently banished by order of the
dictator, General Palacio.
Senor Paul had been confined ior two
months, with about200 other revolutionists,
in a prison in Caracas. The prison was fast
filling with Crespo's sympathizers, and, to
make room for the new arrivals, it was de
cided to banish tbe most dangerous of the
old prisoners. Many were sent to Trinidad.
Senor Paul was escorted from Caracas to
Laguayra, and put aboard the Venezuela.
He was told he would be shot if he reap
peared in the country.
Crespo's forces, Senor Paul said, would not
exceed 10,000 men altogether. He would
probably have 6,000 when attacking Cara
cas, which he contemplated doing, Senor
Paul said, very soon. Before the Venezuela
left Laguayra it was reported that a fight
had taken place between the forces under
Casanos and the revolutionists under
Crespo. in which the army of Casanos was
defeated. It was rumored that Casanos hail
been captured, but this was not confirmed.
LIQUOR AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.
Tbe Committee's Lawyer Advises That Its
Sale Re Confined to the Park.
Chicago, May C. Special W. K.

liquors at the Exposition. He is of theopin-
luu bun. ui.u.i-ii.4U uiuiAa wmuuu. uc auiu ill I

is not within the prohibition district of
Hyde Park. Lawyer Johp P. Wilson, who
was called to give an opinion on the same
subject, agrees with Lawyer Carlisle- as iar
as the Midway Plaisance is concerned.
After these opinions had been laid be
fore the Grounds and Buildings Committee
yesterday the directors wanted the lawyers
to tell them how the law could be dodged.
Attorney Carlisle advised -the directors to
abandon the idea of allowing the sale of
liquors on Midway Plaisance, aud to confine
the restaurants to Jackson Park.

Washington Wind Outside the Capitol.
Washisgtok, May 0. A severe wind

afternoon, ruining several houses and pros
trating trees. The steeple of the Hamline
Church, in the northern part of the city,
was blown off, and iu falling crushed an ad

Salisbury Roasts Home Rule and
Upholds Rebellious Ulster.
A LIMIT TO PARLIAMENT'S EIGHT.
It Has No Authority to Sell a Part of
Ireland Into Slavery.
A TRIBUTE TO THE FALLEN PAKNELL
London, May 6. Presiding to-day at a
meeting of the Grand Habitation of tbe Prim
rose League, in Covent Garden Theater,
Lord Salisbury said:
Home rule would place a hostile Island on
our Hank and subject to infinite damage
and to disgraceful abandonment those In
Ireland who have ever tought for our cause.
In America and other countries an organic
change must leceivo the sanction of the
people; but bere electors vote on various
issues, and there is no means of distinguish
ing their verdict on home rule.
He claimed that his promises of six years
ago that Ireland would be pacified by giv
ing generous consideration to her material
wants and a firm, impartial and continuous
administration of the law had been ful
filled. He continued:
Tho spirit of disorder has gradually cowed
before the spli It of the law. Peace has so
restored Iieland that boycotting no longer
exists. Still, there are men in Ireland who
have resolved to undo this work and placo
the spirit of lawlessness abovo the spirit of
the law. Cries of shame.
Fralso for Parnell's Power.
Mr. Parnell, on whom, now gone, I do not
wish to pass any criticism, was undoubtedly
a much more formiuablo opponent than any
man ho has left behind. Cheers. He had
tho power of bringing the American element
into the agitation, with all its wealth of Indi
vidual energy and financial assistance. Now
ho is removed, theagitation seems to havo
fallen back into the old groove, and resem
bles very much tho conflict between a por
tion of tho people of Ii eland and the people
of England, which has unhappily existed
for many generations.
On the other hand we see the opinion of
the loj-alists of Ireland unchanged. Ulster's
convictions of its dangers have inci eased
every year. I do not know or any symptom
more menacing than the recent declarations
of Ulster leaders, that tlioy diead being
put under the feet of their hereditary and ir
reconcilable enemies.
Lord Salisbury utterly refused to recog
nize the inhabitants of the southeast por
tion of Ireland as typical of the Catholic
Church. He was the more justified in say
ing so because he knew that tho Pope
though, of course, observing in a strictly
political matter the utmost impartiality
strongly condemned the immoral agencies
whereby the agitation in Ireland had
striven to succeed. Though he had not
condemned the .Catholic Church, he had
condemned, and always would condemn,
those who, holding high spiritual authority
and heading a great spiritual organization,
use those weapons for purely secular objects
wherein no spiritual" concern exists. He
would condemn, whether Catholic, An
glican or Calvinist, men who thus inflicted
a deep wound on civil society and fastened
a profound stain upon the spiritual weap
ons they used. Cheers. Ulstcrites, lie
said, had been taunted on their passive at
titude. Continued he:
A Limit to Parliamentary Authority.
I am a Tory, but I do not believe iu this
unqualified dootrine of passive endurance.
I believe that the title of both Kings and
Parliaments to obedience from their sub
jects depends upon those Kings and Parlia
ments observing the fundamental laws and
understandings whereby they rule. Parlia
ment has the light to govern tho people
with laws, but not the right to sell them Into
slaveiy. Enthusiastic cheering and cries
of "lhnvo."
I do not bellovo in tho unlimited and un
restricted power of Parliaments, any inoro
than in such power of Kings. Parliaments,
lileo Kinas, may take a course which, while
technically within the loal limits of their
attribution, is yet entiioly at variance with
tho understanding of the Constitution
whereby they rule.
In the House of Commons this afternoon
Dr. Tanner (Nationalist) asked whether it
is true, as reported in the papers, that Lord
Salisbury had promised that in the event
of the Home rule bill being carried he
would call out the Orangemen to resist the
measure by force of arms, and w ould do his
best to prevent the forces of the Crown
from being employed against men opposing
the decision of Parliament. When the ouU
burst of laughter which the question ex
cited had subsided Mr. Balfour rose and
said he had not seen the speech alluded to,
and therefore could not answer the ques
tion. ANAECHISIS STILL ACIIVE.
Numerous Explosions and Plots
Con-
tlnually Coining to Light.
Paris, May C. The police of St. Etienne
to-day discovered a secret telegraph code,
containing a list of adherents of the
Anarchist Committee and an attempt was
made to-day to blow up a railway bridge at
Stecpbecque, near Arras A mysterious
explosion occurred in the kitchen of a
hotel in Boubaix to-day. Just before the
explosion a cook had put coals on the fire,
and it is supposed that there was a cartridge
in the coals. The rango was destroyed and
-the contents of the kitchen were smashed to
pieces.
At the police examination of the Anar
chist prisoners at Liege to-day, Beau jean con
fessed that himself, Moineau and Wolf stole
a quantity of Favier powder and used it in
connection with cartridges to blow up St,
Martin's Church and Count Minette's resi
dence. An explosion occurred to-day at
Allcur, a village a short distance from
Liege, but fortunately, beyond the shatter
ing of windows, no damage was done. Some
one placed two cartridges on a window sill
of the house ot the .Burgomaster of Alleur,
but for some reason only one of them ex
ploded. A German Anarchist has been ar
rested charged with haying caused the ex
plosion. Wanted to Kill the Minister or .Justice.
Pakis, May 6. Some time ago a man
named Godrot was fined by a magistrate for
some trifling offense. He applied to the
Minister of Justice for a remission of the
fine, but his application was denied. To
day Godrod appeared at the Ministry of
Justice aud wanted to see the Minister.
He was refused admission, whereupon he
drew a revolver apd shot the sentry at the
door, inflicting quite a severe wound. God
rot was arrested. He said he came from the
Chateau Thierry, and that he intended to
kill the Minister of Justice.
European Commercial Treaties.
Madrid, May 6. The negotiations for a
treaty of commerce between England and
Spain have been suspended, and the En
glish delegates are about to return to Lon
don. The negotiations between Spain and
other powers are making very slow prog
ress, being retarded by the arrangements
with France. The effect of the French tariff
on the Spanish wine trade is beyond the
worst expectations.

RUDINI HAS RESIGNED.
A Full-Fledged Cabinet Crisis Stares King
Humbert In the Face His Cabinet's
Resignations ot Yet Accepted Italians'
Inordinate I.ove for Office.
Rome, May 6. Marquis di Rudinl an
nounced the resignation of the Cabinet in
the Chamber of Deputies to-day. King
Humbert, he added, reserved his decision
in the matter, and in the meantime the
present Ministers would continue in office.
The resignation is due to the refusal yester
day of the Chamber of Deputies to adopt a
vote of confidence in the Government's
financial policy, which included a heavy re.
duction in the credits to be devoted to mili
tary and naval expenditures.
It is well known that the finances of Italy
are in a very bad way, and in some quarters
this condition of aflairs is attributed solely
to the expenses incurred in maintaining
Italy'3 place in the Triple Alliance. But
this is not alone the reason; there is another
form of extravagance that is not peculiar to
Italy alone. This is the irrational number
of employes in all the departments of the
Government. Italians have a passion for
public employ, and a vast number of clerks,
etc., might be dispensed with and much
money saved that is now paid in salaries.
A dispatch from Paris says: The news
papers here hail the Italian crisis with
great satisfaction, holding that it will be a
check to the Triple Alliance. The Figaro
says King Humbert is in a dilemma; that
he must either disarm his army or see his
country bankrupt The Oaulois claims the
Italian situation is a triumph for the Vati
can.

to-day there were crowds at the alfar of the
Catholic Church of St. Jean Baptiste, and
the aisles and the seats were filled. The
exposing of the relic of Ste. Anna, mother
of the Virgin Mary, began at 6 o'clock, and
until 5 in the afternoon the glass coyer of
the little case in which it is set was contin
ously pressed by the lips of devout Catho
lics. The visitors were from all parts of the
city, from Long Island, and from Jersey
City. Some came from Trenton. There
was a line of carriages before the door, and
from many of these invalids were helped
or carried to the shrine to kiss the glass
cover.
Father Petreau, the pastor, said that
much spiritual good was being done by the
relic, many conversions having been made,
and mnny persons having received comfort.
He said there were also a number of cures,
but be declined to give the names, as the
persons cured do not wish the notoriety
that would attend the publishing of their
names. He found among the visitors many
physicians who were anxious to see the
bone.
Father Petreau says the relic of Ste.
Anna, which he has secured, has left Rome
in charge of a messenger, and lie will
shortly go to Canada to get it. He expects
to expose it in the Church of St. Jean Bap
tiste in about six weeks, and from that time
continuously.
KEELEY INVADING EUROPE.
The Drunkard Cure to Be Handled by a Big
Foreign Syndicate.
CniCAGO, May G. Special. Negotia
tions were practically completed to-day for
establishing Keeley institutes in England
and France for the cure of the liquor habit.
Dr. Keeley sells the English and French
rights to use his cure in those countries to
an English syndicate, headed by J. J.
Vickers, who has been in Chicago for a
fortnight making final arrangements for the
purchase.
Dr. Keeley and Mr. Vickers met at the
Victoria Hotel yesterday, and it was de
cided that both would sail for England May
15. Dr. Keeley will give his personal at
tention to two branch institutes in England,
one of which will be in London and the
other near Liverpool. The English syndi
cate is backed by ample capital, and the two
places to be opened will be the first of a
iarge number to be built in the larger cities
on the Continent.
The London and Liverpool branches will
be unpretentious structures, located in
3uiet and retired neighborhoods, where
issipated Dukes and noble lords can secure
treatment without publicity. AVhat Dr.
Keely will receive in the shape of royalties
is not known, but it is understood that he
will receive an immense sum and a big
block ot stock in the English company
NOT OFFICIALLY NOTICED.
The Chinese Minister Hasn't as Yet Called
for His Passport.
Washington, May 6. The Treasury
Department to-day received from the State
Department a certified copy of the new
Chinese exclusion act. New instructions
to Collectors of Customs, special agents and
others, whose duty it will be-to enforce the
provisions of the law, are now being pre
pared in the Treasury Department, and will
be issued, probably to-morrow, in the form
of a circular letter. Until the new instruc
tions are issued United "States officials will
be governed by the previous instructions on
the subject
It was said at the State Department, this
afternoon, that the Chinese Minister had
taken no official notice ot the new Chinese
exclusion act, so far as that Department was
advised. This refutes the report that he had
applied for passports for the members of the
Chinese Legation with a view to the sever
ance of diplomatic relations with the United
States.
$70,000 MISAPPROPRIATED.
Tho
Former President of the Bank
of
Harlem Indicted and Arrested.
New York, May 6. Charles Pinkham,
Jr., former President of the Bank of Har
lem, was arrested this afternoon on an in
dictment charging him with misappropri
ating 70,000 of the funds of the bank. The
discovery of President Pinkham's alleged
defalcation was made when a plan of con
solidation of the Harlem with the Hamilton
Bank was nut into execution.
David F. Porter, successor to Pinkham
as President of the Bank of Harlem, said
this afternoon: "Mr. Pinkham was one of
the organizers of the Bank of Harlem. He
has a wife and five or six children. He
lived in good style. We do not know what
he did with the money. He borrowed
from the bank for himself on securities
which we have found to be worthless. The
son of an ex-Alderman seems to have bene
fitted by these transactions, and I am free
to say that were he in this country I should
have him indicted too."

FIMG TO THE WINDS
Are
All of the Democratic Pledges
for Economy and Reform.
THE EXTRAVAGANCE IS GROWING
Because the Sapply of fork ITas Been Pretty
Evenly Distributed.
THE BILLION CONGRESS DISCOUNTED
I SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Washington, May 0. The Democrats
in the House of Representative have within
the past few days flung to the winds all
pledges of economy and refgrm. They
have utterly overruled the resolution
passed in the early days of the session, de
nouncing extravagance and declaring their
belief in the policy of economical expendi
tures. They have ridden roughshod over
Judge Holman, Chairman of the Committee
on Appropriations.
For many weeks past the Democra'
leaders of the House have seen a stf tffjf.
coming, which finally broke in the House
yesterday and raged with increased vio
lence to-day. But they had no idea that
members who chafed under Holman's re
strictions would violate their party pledges
by openly advocating a repetition of the
legislation of the Fifty-first Congress, as
was done when Dan Lockwood yesterday
surprised the House by a violent denuncia
tion of economy and an impassioned decla
ration in favor of liberal and uncurtailed
appropriations.
Mr. Sayres, of Texas, a prominent mem
ber of the Appropriations Committee, had a
conference with Speaker Crisp, this after
noon, and appealed to him to stem the tide
that, as Mr. Savers and his friends say, is
carrying the party to destruction.
Always a Big White Elephant
The immediate cause of the rebellion that
has taken place is the river and harbor bill,
which has been a white elephant on the
hands of" both parties for many years.
When, several Congresses ago, the first
regular river and harbor bill was brought
into the House under the escort of
Philetus Sawyer, of Wisconsin, then Chair
man of the House Committee on Rivers and
Harbors, it carried an appropriation of J8,
000,000. This was at the time thought to
be an astounding sum, and Chairman Sawyer
was warned that he would be defeated.
"No, I won't," said the sly man from Wis
consin. "It will go through smooth as
grease, because every man in the House who
would be apt to oppose it has been given a
slice of the pork, and has agreed to keep
still."
From that day to this the river and har
bor bills have been put through both
Houses ot Congress on the Sawyer plan.
They have always been greased by pieeei of
pork distributed among the members. This
year's bill is no exception; and, indeed, the
pork has been handed down with a more
than usually liberal hand.
More Extravagance Than Ever Before,
The river and harbor bill of tho last Con
gress broke all records and authorized an
expenditure of $24,000,000. The present
bill, framed by a committee of a House that
has denounced that Congress and pledged it
self to a policy of economy, will go far be
yond that amount, aud stand forth before
the country as the most outrageously ex
travagant measure ever framed.
The Chairman of the River and Harbor
Committee, Mr. Blanchard, of Louisiana,
believes tbe bill to be a good one and de
fends it frankly. He has managed its en
trance into the House very shrewdly, and
distributed the pork in such an intelligent
manner that his fellow Democrats are ready
to pass it oyer the head of Judge Holman
and the other economists by an overwhelm
ing majority.
"Pork, pork, pork!" is the cry now, just
as it has been in the past when Republican
committees framed the bills, and the pros
pect is that the cry will keep up after the
river and harbor bill has gone to the Senate
and the sundry civil fortifications and other
bills are teady to be brought forward for
action.
How Mr. Reed Pays His Allies.
So utterly demoralized havo the mem
bers of the House generally become under
the reckless policy of extravagance that
they stood by calmly yesterday and aided.
by their votes, in allowing ex-SpeakerReed
to amend the bill by increasing from 510,000
to 516,000 the appropriation for an unheard
of river in his beloved State of Maine.
Reed, with the aid of the Democrats, ac
complished this over the heads of the com
mittee that passed the bill, and he paid his
Democratic allies to-day bv attacking Judge
Holman bitterly, and ridiculing him and
his economical friends in the House until
the Chairman of the Appropriations Com
mittee was literally driven from the floor
by the laughter and jeers of his colleagues
on both sides of the chamber. All this was
made possible because Democrats had been
tempted to desert their solemn pledges of
economy by a liberal distribution of
"pork."
The appropriations, both regular and per
manent, made during the first session of the
last Congress aggregated 5463,000,000. while
those for the second session were 5524,000,
000. The appropriations so far made at the
present session, and of the estimates given
as a basis for the bills yet to be completed,
with the appropriations and estimates of
the first session of the last Congress, forces
the conclusion that this session's aggregate
will far exceed the aggregate of the last
Congress of the first session, and this in
the face of the Democratic pledges, the con
fessedly depleted Treasury, and the urgent
need of eponomy in view of the Congres
sional elections tnis tan.
Pledges Thrown to the "Winds.
If the second session of this Congress
shall imitate the Fifty-first and many of its
predecessors, its record will be more profli
gate and disgraceful, instead of being 5100,
000,000 below the aggregate of the last Con
gress on the side of frugality and economy.
Along with this is the action ot this House
in adopting and promoting the growth of
the system inaugurated by the last Congress
of committing the Treasury in advance to
the payment of many millions by contracts
The total amount of liability which that
Congress placed upon the Government for
future liquidation was 519,000,000. The
total amount of increased liability which
this House at its present session has recom
mended is 533,000,000.
The second session of the Fifty-first Con
gress set the pace by transferring, from the
river and harbor bill to the sundry civil
bill, under the House rules, 513,000,000 of
contracts for tbe completion ot river and
harbor works at Galveston, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Hay Lake channel and St
Mary's river, Michigan. This Congiess has
accepted that arrangement, and has iccom
mended the appropriation of 5M4.00U lor
those objects in the sundry civil bill, which
is now on the House calendar, thus reliev
ind the river and harbor bill by that
amount, but allowing the River and
Harbor Committee to increase its bill in
other directions.
The Grand Total Swelled Up.
Thus this arrangement, which was de
nounced by the leading Democrats iu the
last Congress, tends to swell rather than to
decrease the sum total of appropriations
lor such public works as rivers and harbors.
All these contracts must be rigidly ful
filled aud carried out, and following" Con
gresses cannot evade or repudiate thein.
The ratio of increase under this new and
vicious system, inherited from the Fifty
first Congress, is over 73 per cent, and it "is
apparent that if this ratio is maintained at
the next session and by subsequent

A WHOLE TOWN BRIBED.
SAlOOUKEEPEns TORCED TO GIVE
AWAY A-SOFT SNAP.
How the I.Iqnor Dealers of a Michigan
Town .Were Allowed to Sell tlliisky
on a Beer License Tho Coancil
Winked at Lawbrei'klng.
Wayne, Mich., May 0. Special One
of the most peculiar violations of State
laws has just come to light here. The
Michigan liquor laws provide for a 5300
license for the sale of beer and other malt
liquors, and a 500 license for the sale of
whisky and spirituous liquors as well as
beer, etc. In Detroit and other large cities
in the State, saloon keepers take out a 5300
license and sell spirituous as well as malt
liquors, and escape prosecution by means of
the strong political pull they always hold,
but here the laws are more strictly enforced,
and saloon keepers who sold whisky have in
past years paid the full 5.1Q0.
A short time ago the local W. C. T. V.
started a crusade against tho saloons, and
asked the Town Council toput more re
strictions on them. The liquor sellers ob
jected, saying that as it was they were pav
ing 5400 a year, 5100 more than any saloon
ist in Detroit, for the privilege of continu
ing in business. As the law provides for no
5400 license considerable comment was
caused, with the result that it was discov
ered that the saloonists had made an ar
rangement with the Town Council a year
ago by which they could sell whisky on a
beer license. Each saloonist paid the Coun
cil 5100, in return for which the town agreed
not to prosecute cases for selling spiritous
liquors on a S300 license.
The deal amounted to bribery, not of the
councilmen, but of the town. Up to date
12 such cases have come to light, placing
51,200 to the credit of the town. Under the
law one-half of the money from the licenses
goes to the county and one-half to the town.
So the town was" neither gainer nor loser,
while the county is out at ieast 51,209. In
asmuch as this is a direct violation of the
State law, it is probable that the members
of last year's Council will be prosecuted.
It is also probable that the county will
bring suit against the town to recover the
amount
UNDER THE POPE'S BAN.
The raribault System Doesn't Meet With
Papal F.ivor.
NEW York, May G. Special Arch
bishop Corrigau received to-day a cable dis
patch from Rome, saying: "Faribault sys
tem condemned. Special case, reserved."
This means that the cause which Arch
bishop Ireland championed, and whose ad
vancement was one ot the objects ol nis
journey to Rome, is put under the ban by
the Pope.
The so-called Faribault system is one
wliich removes all insignia of religion from
parochial schools, and renders the course of
instruction entirely secular until the end
of the regular exercises, when the Catholic
child remains ior religious instruction,
while the Protestants go away. This sys
tem originated in the Catholic parochial
school of Faribault, Minn., which was put
under the direction of the village school
board, its expenses being defrayed by the
village on the above conditions. .Arch
bishop Ireland liked the plan, and pro
posed to extend it to other places in his
archdiocese.
The decision of to-day prohibits this gen
eral introduction of the system, while per
mitting the plan to be practiced in special
instances where it may he deemed expedi
ent. Archbishop Corrigau expects to re
ceive the full text of the decision by mail
within ten days or a fortnight

MEETING THEHAYOB
The City Attorney ITas a Poor
Farm Ordinance That Is
Calculated to'
PLEASE TILE EXECUTIVE.
Limiting the Amount of Land and
the Price Per Acre to Ce Paid.
RIVER FRONT NOT NECESSARY.
Cutting
Down the Cost or Street Paving'
and tewerin? by
PAYING INTEREST TO C05TEACTOES
A new Poor Farm ordinance has been
prepared by the City Attorney, and, with a
few minor changes that will probably bo
suggested by the Mayor, wiil go before
Councils on Monday. As it now stands the
ordinance comes nearer the Mayor's oft
expressed views than any yet prepared. Its
title is: "An ordinance authorizing and
directing advertisements for proposals for
the hale to the city of Pittsburg of real
estate to be used for the relief and employ
ment of the poor of said city, and also pro
viding for the reception and opening of
such proposals and action thereon, and pro
viding means for be payment of tbe pur
chase money of such property."
The ordinance differs from the others that
have passed Conncils in the Poor Farm
matter in that it make3 no stipulation for a
river front property. It fixr.s the maximum
price to be paid at 5300 an acre, and it lim
its the size of the new farm to from 100 to
2o0 acres.
A KiTer Front la Xnt Specified.
In its first section provision is made for
advertising tor a new farm, within tha
county, and having "an adequate supply of
water for all the purncses, present and pros
pective, of all buildings and improvements
which maybe made thereon and the persons
who may be kept tliprear, with ample facili
ties for draina7e, and shall also be adjpted
to the preservation of the health, occupa
tion and maintenance of such persons ainiay
from time to time be committed thereto."
Propositions must be Sled with the Con
troller within the time noted in the adver
tisement, and must give the city an option
of buying the land oflercd for a period of 60
days. Xo proposal for a tract less tlun 100
nnr more than 250 acres, nor for a price
above 5300 an ?cre, will receive considera
tion, nor even then nnless it be readily ac
cessible by railroad and has the wafer and
drainage facilities heretofore mentioned.
The mnde ef action on proposal prescribed
is that the Chief of Charities wiil open the
bids iu Common Council chamber in pres
ence of the Controller, and. after reading
them, wiil report to the Charities Com
mittee a recommendation of acceptance oi"
the oiler most desirable.
Cuttin? Down tho CIlicIi Power.
. The committee mast then consider iljc
matter and report it to Councils, and ui
the ordinance as it stands, "ko a-'i
taken by the Ciiitf rrtii- Dcpsr...c!
Charities si. -ill become binding npon t'ie
city until the report shall ua7e been aSm
atively anproved and adopted by each
branch of Councils, the city reserving the
right to reject any ami all proposals."
The portion of the ordinance just quoted
will likel" be a stumbling block when it
comes to the Mayor. All previons Poor
Farm purchases have ben subject to the
Mayor's approval, but this makes it oily
necessary for Counc.ls to approve it, and
the Mayor has no chaace io aaprove or dis
approve. It is supposed that in drawing up
the ordinance the ''avor's approval was in
advertently omitted and that it will be in
serted before the official document
reaches Councils, as it is not li':ely
the Mayor would approve an ordinance of
that kind. All purchases of property by
the city heretofore have been made by a
separate ordinance describing the bound
aries of the property and giving the price,
and in the c-ise of the Stewart farm the
court held that such action was necessary.
May Meet tho "HayorN Approval.
It is expected that with the correction of
this feature of the ordinance it will meet
the approval of the Mayor, and will be
speedily passed.
During an interesting meeting of the
Public Works Committee yesterday after
noon it was developed that the recent con
ferences ot city ofileials to secure a reduc
tion iu the cost of street improvements
have borne trim, and an ordinance is to be
presented iijCounciis Monday having that
end in view. The ordinance has a title "re
lating to contracts between the city of
Pittsburg and contractors doing public
work for the same, regulating the man
ner and time of payment for work
and material done ami furnished under
such contracts." A "whereas" recites that
"it will be to the interest of the city of
Pittsburg and the owners of property liable
to assessment for public improvements t
have regulated time and manner of pay
ment to the contractors for all public work
done, and fixing the rate of interest upon
all deterred payments upon such worsr.
The ordinance then proceeds to regulate.
It provides that in all contracts hereaiter
for street improvements there shall be in
serted a clause substantial! as follows, the
legal verbiage being eliminated:
Contractors to Iteceive Interes.
In consideration of the faithful fulfillment;
of tho contract by tho said contractor as
fully set forth and described In the specifi
cations relating thereto, tho city shall pay
or cause to be paid to tho contractor, on es
timates and certificates to bo inrnished by
tho Superintendent of EiiM'ncerini and Sur
vey, approved by tho Chief of the Depart
ment of Public Works, tho full contract
price therefor out of and from tbe assess
ments which may from timo to time bo
levied upon and collertcd irom properties
benefitted by the improvement, as the same
-shall be ascertained and finally determined
in the manner provided by law. TbaS
all the assessments shall be collected
by the city within two jearafrom the com
pletion and acceptance i tno work. Said
as-essincnts, when collcc.ed, shall bo paid
to the contractor as a credit upon tl.e con
tract price. Tho contracto-s -hall bo en
titled to receive Interest at the rate ot 6 per
cent per annum upon all deferred payment
from the d.'tii ol the completion of tho
work. Provided, houctcr, that the re
in under ot the uncollected assessments,
with the interest thereon, shall be payable
by the city after the exultation of two years
alter completion ot the work.
The meeting of the Public Works Com
mittee was called to consider ordinances ior
the paving ot IJazelwood avenue, Pacific
avenue and part of Winebiddle avenue with
vitrified brick. Dr. C. Evans was the cham
pion of the brick pavement, and it was at
his request the meeting was called. The
Iiazclwrod avenue ordinance was called
first, and the doctor tookthcfloor to explain
the necessity for it to the committee.
Dr. Evans' Flea for Brick I'avements.
"I am aware," he said, "of the opposition
in thiscity to brick pavements, but the peo
ple in my ward, and particularly those on
this street, want no other kind. If you
give us this pavement you will stimulate
improvement in the Twenty-third ward,
and it will move forward as rapidly as any
