rrEOM A STATP COBBESFOKDENT.l
WASHINGTON, June 28. There is going
to be the jolliest kind of a row between
Senator Quay and C I Magee, if the atti
tude of the two gentlemen to-day. on the
question of the rejection of the nomination
by the Senate of George W. Miller as In
ternal Eevenue Collector at Pittsburg can
be taken as an indication.
Senator Qaay announced several days 0.20
that the Senate Finance Committee, at its
meeting to-day, would reject Mr. Miller's
nomination. The committee failed' to have
a quorum, and that fact can Mr. Miller
thank for the safety of his bacon to-night.
Senator Quay was annoyed at the failure of
the committee to verify his prediction.
When approached on the subject he de
clared emphatically that he insisted on Mr.
Miller's rejection, and had everr reason to
believe the Senate Finance Committee
would support him in a matter which he
bad determined to make an issue.
3Ir. 3!a;ee Loses Bis Temper.
When Mr. Magee was informed of this
statement at the Arlington to-night he lost
his temper. "And if Mr. Quay succeeds in
bis undertaking," said he, "what a pitiable
spectacle he will present. He is not oppos
ing Mr. Miller because of any lack of
qualifications on that gentleman's part, or
because aught can be said against his char
acter. Mr. Miller is unassailable in both
Tespects. This merely shows to what
lengths Mr. Quay will go to accomplish an
object of trifling importance in itself."
Mr. Magee was warm. He strode to the
water cooler, drank several copious draughts
and mopped his heated brow with his
handkerchief.
'It Mr. Miller's nomination is rejected,
will President Harrison renominate and re-
appoint him?" Mas asked.
A Gentle Hint to the President.
"I shall certainly expert Mr. Harrison to
do so," replied Mr. Magee.
He then stopped talking. It is under
stood, however, that Mr. Magee had good
grounds to base his belief that President
Harrison, in the event of the rejection of
Miller's nomination, will, after the adjourn
ment of Congress, reinstate Mr. Miller as
Internal Eevenue Collector. The contest
could be prolonged indefinitely.
There is no reason in national politics
why Senator Quay should abandon the
fight. He has nothing to expect from the
President The antagonism between Har
rison and himself was brought to a climax
by Mr. Quay's opposition to the President's
renomination. The complexion of State
politics might be, however, of such a char
acter that Senator Quay could be induced
to desist
It is an open secret that Messrs. Quay
and Magee have been of late operating in a
condition of armed neutrality. It wax to be
a case of "hands off."
How Magee Could Checkmate Qaay.
This understanding was expected to re
sult ultimately in Senator Quay's re-election
to the United States Senate. The Re
publican nominations for the State Legisla
ture have practically been made, and Sen
ator Quay thinks he sees daylight ahead,
even at this distant day. But there is no
reason why Mr. Magee could not terrorize
some of the candidates for the State Legis
lature by promising them defeat instead of
the customary local victory unless they"
pledged themselves to vote for someone
other than Quay. '
It seems to be open warfare from this date
between the two Pennsylvania leaders.
A LISTLESS CAMPAIGN
On the Tart of the Republicans Predicted
by a Congressman of the Party -The
Old Warhorses Turned Ontto Grass A.

day
doesn't change the opinion of Republicans
here that the new organization of the Na
tional Committee is a very weak one,
though quite respectable, and not at all
calculated to inspire the confidence of the'
party in its practical ability. Though the
officers are severally gentlemen of high
quality, they hare been so far removed from
the councils of the great leaders of the
party w ith the exception, perhaps, of M.
H. De Young that the masses of the
organization will not be inspired with a
belief in their capacity to grapple success
fully with the-hard problem of success in
this year of universal dxubt and opposition.
The very fact that all the old managers
have been shelved seems to create a feeling
of disappointment and apathy which is
ominous of a listless campaign.
"The speech of Clarkson," said a Repub
lican Congressman to me to-day, "in which
he eulogized Qnay and the services of him
and others who contributed more than all
else to the success of Harrison in 1S88,
sounded more like an obituary than like
the hopeful initiation of a new campaign.
It was an obituary in bo far as the old
managers and advisers of the party are
concerned.
The Ablest Managers Sent to the Bear.
"The men who were chosen by the com
mittee representatives of the party in 1888
as the ablest managers and who plucked
success from defeat are sent to the rear by
the one moajrho profited moit conspicuous-

this Congressman, who is really a warm

tVnrhor.e. Turned Out to Grass.
"Even with a more favorable condition of
things than that which obtains, this would
be a great, if not an insurmountable, ob
stacle in the way of success.. The old war
horses of the party will have no word to
say. Theywill not sulk, but they will be
perforce turned out to grass. The action
of the President shows that he is deter
mined to make no terms with them. Pos
sibly they themselves are in a great meas
ure to blame for this. It is true they dic
tated terms which were severe, and which
could not be well accepted without a com
plete surrender. That is In the nature of
men like Quay and Clarkson. When thev
brine about the success of the partv candi
dates thev believe that thev and not thi
candidates should signify what shall be the
best method of conducting the party ma
chine. They look on the President .and
other high officials as creatures of the party,
and not as dictators who shall assume any
authority over and above the power that
brought them into existence. Thev are the
better Democrats of the nation from the
fact that they look to the success of their
party, a possible majority of the nation,
raiaer man 10 me aggrandizement of any
individual The iact is they object to any
exaltation of the individual over the mass.
Flaws Picked by a Partisan.
"Harrison has attempted to play the dic
tator. He has no part or sympathy with
the wish or opinion of the mass. He is in
sane in the belief that bis qualities fit him
to be a judge of what is best lor the coun
try, superior to any court, or cabinet, or
association of men. He will pass out of
office
noted only for his abilities and hia
honesty. It grieves me to say this, bnt in
doing so I am only reflecting the, sentiment
of the thinking men ot the party. The Na
tional Committee showed by its vote that
it was really opposed to the" President It
snubbed and rebuild him, and then acceded
to hisiwisbes in a wav which was arnrnnhpn
of indifference in the campaign to come."-
The foregoing is a genuine and frank
opinion ot a Western Republican Congress
man. The main hope for success is in the
progressive and protective policy of the
party represented by the President. L.
ANOTHER VIEW OF IT.
The Woandi Expected to Heal All Bight
Objections to the New Chairman That
"Will Fads Away Considerable Gossip
About It at tho Capitol.
Washington, June 2a Special The
wounds inflicted in the little Republican
family quarrel in iis city yesterday will
probably heal in time, but they are rather
painful yet The simple iact is that the
anti-Harrison group in the National Com
mittee tried to recover lost ground and get
revenge for their setback at Minneapolis,
and the result was tbat they were thrown
down a second time. They may know by
this time tbat they were foolish to make the
experiment twice, but that does not make
the sore spots sting any the less.
At the Capitol, to-day, there were few
superficial traces of the scrimmage, but a
little probing would easily bring to light
considerable bad blood. Mr. Campbell, the
new Chairman; visited the- Senate end of
the building this afternoon, and received a
great deal of flattering attention.
Making a Good Impression.
Personally he makes a good impression,
but it is evident that there are many Re
publicans at the Capitol who cannot forget
that he is the President's choice and cannot
forgive the overthrow of General Clark
son. Senators and Representatives who were
working openly for Clarkson yesterday are
cautious and reserved in their remarks to
day, but plainly show that they resent the
treatment he received from the administra
tion forces.
On the other hand, several of the Har
rison Congressmen talked quite plainly
about the "nerve" of Clarkson's friends in
putting him forward to run Harrison's
campaign. One conspicuous Republican Con
gressman said tbat the polite thing for the
men on the National Committee who had
opposed the President's renomination would
be to stand aside willingly and allow the
President's friends to make their own ar
rangements for running the campaign. It
was not the first time a chairman of the
National Committee had opposed the man
who got the nomination, but if it were true,
as stated, that General Clarkson thought he
should have been re-elected, it was the first
time in tne nistory ot the committee when
a chairman so situated took that view.
A Natural Desire Expressed.
It -was extraordinary that there should
have been any question about yielding to
the President's wishes in the matter ot the
selection of the chairman. The President
naturally wanted a man "who had not
opposed his nomination to conduct his
campaign for re-election.
John L Davenport, General Supervisor
of Elections and chief political wizard in
the Republican party, is outspoken in his
denunciation of the "throw-down" of ex
Chairman Clarkson by the President "He
will," said Davenport, referring to the
President, "need the services or Clarkson,
Quay, Dudley and Piatt before the 8th of
November rolls around, for he has before
him a very hard road to travel."
80 the talk runs on. and it remains to be
seen whether the ngiy feeling between the
two wings of the party is to be permanent
or only temporary. At present their rela
tions are decidedly strained.

That Is the Information Mr. Ds Tonne
Has to Give Oat.
New Sokk, June 28. Svecial Chair
man W. J. Campbell, of the new Republi
can National Committee, did not arrive in
this city to-night as was expected, but Vice
Chairman M. H. De"1 Young, of San Fran
cisco, did. Mr. De Young said tbat Chair
man Campbell will go to Chicago Instead and
will announce the names of the nine mem
bers of the Executive Committee in two or
three days. He said that several of the old
Executive Committee will probably be re
appointed. It is understood that those who
are to be retained are Clarkson, if he will
accept; Pesscnden, of Connecticut; Manley,
of Maine, and Hobart, of New Jersey.
"The President had to take Campbell,"
said Mr. De Young. "The committee re
fused positively to elect a chairman from
outside its membership. It was tbat differ
ence which kept us in session so long."
"Ah, there come the next Cabinet
officer," exclaimed Mr. De Young, as he
spied the tall, gaunt form of ex-Senator
Pearson C Cheney, of New Hampshire,
stalking up the corridor. "If there's any
truth in what they sav in Washington, Sen
ator Cheney is going to have Secretary
Tracy's place and the latter is to get the
portfolio of State."
When asked about this rumor Mr.
Cheney said that he bad been in Washing
ton and had seen the President, but had not
heard that he was to be made Secretary of
the Navy. Secretary of War Elkins ar
rived from Washington to-night His
visit is on business of a personal and pri
vate nature, he said.

Ha
Thinks the Secretary Would Make a
Model National Chairman.
Washington, June 2a Special,
"Harrity will be the Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee," said Con
gressman Eugene Gillespie, of Mercer
county, to-day. "He is a man of wonder
ful executive ability, and made himself
popular at the National Convention, as few
men have succeeded in being. "He under
stands all of the intricacies of political
management in the great cities, which
means, he can organize the vote which count
for most in great elections.
"Harrity was for Cleveland, but is also a
valued friend of the managers of the anti
Cleveland movement, and his personality
will be a tie between the factions for and
against the nominee, while the organization
of the Republican Committee aggravated
the disagreement of the factions for and
against Harrison. My word for it, Harrity
will be the chairman, and he will prove
himself a great and successful manager. " .

PLUNGED THEIE FINGEfeS IN THE PIE
Washington, June 28. The Presi
dental campaign was fairly started in the
Senate, to-day, on the basis of Mr. Hale's
resolution asserting the great benefits re
sulting to the people of the United States
from the Republican policy of "protec
tion," and questioning the possible effect of
the Democratic policy of a "tariff for rev
enue only."
Mr. Hale gave a history, from his point
of view, of the recent Chicago Convention,
so far s the t arid plank of the platform is
concerned, stating tbat it was framed so as
to suit the candidate, and declaring the
issue between the two parties bad thus been
made up, and the fight would be waged on
that issue until decided by the suffrages of
the people next November.
Mr. Vest, on the part of the Democracy,
accepted the challenge, and had much to
say as to the operation of the McKinley
act in increasing the cost of dry goods and
hardware, in reducing wages, and in caus
ing strikes and labor troubles. He also
commented upon the choice of the new
Chairman of the Republican National Com
mittee as being in line with the policy of
encouraging monopolies.
Miscellaneous Work of the Day.
After the resolution was laid aside till to
morrow, without action, conference reports
on the Indian and army appropriation bills
were presented and agreed to. The latter
bill has still, however, one question open
and undisposed of.
The agricultural appropriation bill was
passed, and the consideration of the legis
lative appropriation bill resumed. The
abolition or continuance of the Utah Com
mission was the subject of discussion on the
legislative bill; and that question went over
without being decided, and the Senate 'ad
journed. During Mr. Vest's speech on the McKin
ley bill he alluded" to the existing labor
troubles at Carnegie's Homestead Iron
Works, near Pittsburg. "And yet," he
said, "that gentleman (Mr. Carnegie) who
had telegraphed from his castle in Scotland
congratulations to President Harrison
on his renomination, ' had arrayed
his police and armed and
equipped them, to put down his own labor
ers and workmen, and had surrounded his
establishment with an 11-foot wall for
what purpose? To protect himself against
the people of the United States under this
iniquitous system,-ana now the newspapers
m
which the Senator from Maine had spoken
so eloquently to-day;"
Concrntnlations Perfectly In'YIace.
No wonder Mr. Carnegie had' congratu
lated President Harrison on his renomina
tion, continued the speaker. He was the
recipient of the benefits of that system. He
was glad that the Republican partv had
placed at the head of its National Commit
tee "another of the same brood of politi
cians." "I know," Mr. Vest continued, "Mr.
Campbell, the new Chairman, and it is a
Providential dispensation (as the preachers
say) that he has been put there. He is the
feed attorney, and nothing else, of P. D.
Armour. He haunted my committee (the
Committee on Beef Products) 'from one end
of the country to the other, representing
Armour and his beef monopoly at Chicago.
He is the man who advised Armour to defy
the Senate of the United States and refuse to
obey its subpoenas. The man is nothing but
a tool of monopoly. He was the-ablest and
most pliant instrumentality in the hands of
Armour and his company, in order to rob
the people, and especially the cattle raisers
of the West Of course, he is at the head of
the Republican National Committee. He
is the sort of man to do the work. Why
should he not be there? Armour's
money and his talent and monopoly
against the American people and the con
sumers of. the -country. We accept the
issue, and, God willing, we will standby it
until not one solitary Democrat throughout
the country can be found who will not ad
mit tbat this is the great issue, the over
whelming one, now to be determined by the
sunrages ot tne people next .November.
Hale Comes Back TVltb the Same Coin.
Mr. Hale said: "As to the selec
tion of the Chairman 'of the Re
publican National Committee, the
Senator from Missouri has sought to bring
reproach on Mr. Campbell because of his
association as counsel with great monopo
lies and great interests. Has It gone out of
the mind of the Senator from Missouri that
that great convention of his in Chicago was
marshaled and dominated and controlled,
from beginning to end, by that great leader
of the Cleveland hosts, ex-Secretary Whit
ney? Does he claim that Mr. Whitney is,
in no way associated or connected with any
great interests?" f
Mr. Vest Does the Senator say that
he is?
Mr. Hale The greatest of all trusts, the
Standard Oil Company, is the interest that
controlled the Chicago Convention.
Mr. Vest I ask the Senator categorically
whether he charges that Mr. Whitnev has
fanv connection whatever with the Standard
Oil Company?
Mr. Hale I do not make any charge
against Mr. Whitney.
Mr. Vest Then it is utterly unfair and
unparliamentary to make an insinuation
which a Senator is unwilling to put in so
many words. I deny it I deny it on Mr.
Whitney's own statement He has no in
terest whatever in the Standard Oil Com
pany. His brother-in-law is a stockholder,
but I have yet to learn that a man is re
sponsible for his brother-in-law.
tVhltnej's Word Enough for Him.
Mr. Hale Do you say, in terms, that
Mr. Campbell has a dollar of interest in the
great trust which you have referred to?
'Mr. Vest I affirm here, on my personal
knowledge, that Mr. Campbell is and has
been for years the paid lawyer of P. D.
Armour, attending to all his law business;
that he followed my Beef Committee to St
Louis and Chicago advising Mr. Armour;
and that he is the, man who instigated the
movement on the part of Mr. Armour to re
fuse to obey the subpoena of the Senate.
Mr. Hale I suppose that Mr. Campbell,
,who is a very able lawyer, has clients in
many domains of business. He is none the
worse for that I did not assert that ex
Secretary Whitney has an interest in the
Standard Oil Company. His denial of that
is enough for me. But you cannot make
the country believe that the great Standard
Oil Trust did not have a controlling hand
and voice in shaping the resolutions of the
Chicago convention.

law and Order Detective Flinn
Wants His Pay for Spy Services.
THE SUIT ENTERED LAST NIGHT
And the Alleged Sunday Reformer Must
Answer This Morning.
INSIDE WOBKINGS OP THK EOCIETI
Thomas Flinn, who, while recently em
ployed as a Law and Order detective, was
arrested and sent to jail charged with at
tempting a criminal operation upon a
young woman of Pittsburg, went before Po
lice Magistrate McKenna last night and en
tered suit against Robert McClure, the
agent and manager of the Law and
Order Society, for $1G3 salary al
leged to be 'due him. Flinn
was released from jail a week
ago. Since his release he has been living
with his wife at No. 165 Second avenue. He
has not b'een employed since he' left the
jail. He has, he says, forever severed his
connection with Mr. McClure and his
A summons was issued. It
iHstntgut because "Agent
McClnre was at his home at Lock No. 3.
The summons will be served this morning.
To the police magistrate Flinn, in reply to
questions by Inspector McKelvy, told a
woful story of his experiences with Agent
McClure and the Law and Order Society.
He said he came to Pittsburg from Potts-
town, Pa., about January 1, 1892. He was
a mill worker and he came to Pittsburg in
search of a place. He had no friends
here, and, although he had with
him evidences of his good standing
with the labor organization, he was at the
time unable to secure a job. After being
here two weeks he heard that Robert Mc
Clure wanted a good man. He called at
McClure's office, assured the Law and Or
der officer that he could and would do any
kind of legitimate work, and McClure
agreed to pay him $2 50 per day.
The Tale of an L. & O. Detective.
"I was desperate, and was willing to
jump into anything," Flinn said. "I
worked from January 16 nntil April 26.
During that time Mr. McClure.pald me $83.
When I went to him since my release for
money due me, McClnre put me off, and
vesterdav he told me to be patient tbat he
had no money, but that there was going to
be a strike at Homestead, and that after the
strike he would get me a job in the mill up
there.
"I made my first great mistake by en
gaging myself to McClure. I did not know
what the business was, and I only knew that
I had to go to work. He asked me it I was
prepared to go to the country. I told 'him
I had-'no money, and I think he then took
advantage of mv condition. I soon learned
the kind of work he had for me, and J en
deavored to laithfully perform every duty
assigned me. The longer I worked the
deeper -I got into the hole, and the more
completely I become involved in his power.
Instead of paying me $15 a week, as he
promised, he paid me (2 50 for each day I
worked, and many weeks he only
allowed mo to work one day. At
no time during my connection with
the Law and Order Society did McClure
pay me more than to at a time, ana usually
he would pay me SL He bad five or six
other men working for him, the same as I
was. He paid them just as be paid me, and
he never paid any of us unless we dogged
him for money, and when we were not out
working cases we were running after Mc
Clnre to get our wages. In that way he
kept us all' so poor that we could not get
away from him.
"I am married the second time." Flinn
went on. "My first wife is dead and my
children, with one exception, are grown up.
My youngest is a boy 13 years old, and I do
no't know where that boy is. I left him in
Pottstown,, where I also left a trunk full of
my clothes, two trunks full of my wife's
clothes and beds and furniture for two
rooms. ,
Begged McClnre for Bis Money.
"Almost on my bended knees I have
asked McClure for Money enough to go to
Pottstown and find my lost boy and to get
the clothes for myselt and wile, but he
would never give it to me. He always had
some excuse. It was a relief when I was
sent to jail, for then I decided to get away
from the Law and Order Society."
"Tell ot the inside workings of the Law
and Order Society," was suggested to
Flinn.
"It is rotten. McClure is paid $100 a
month as a salary, He is allowed $15 a
week for each man in. his employ, and be is
also allowed all necessary expensed He
pays the men only for the days they work
and under no condition does be allow them
more than $1 a dav for expenses. When we
work in the city he allowed us but
one meal a day, ana then the meal was not
to cost more than 25 cents. Sunday was
our principal day in the city. The Law
and Order 'Society ordered only Sunday
work, and all other work was done by Mc
Clure on the outside."
"What outside work did he do?" was
asked. '
"He raided and arrested the proprietors I
PRIM teiffio
I
r'
of several speak -easies in and about Oak
dale. He was emploved to do that work by
a man named Goy. For each of those cases
McClure was allowed $8 for himself and for
each man employed on those cases he was
allowed $6 a day and all necessary expenses.
I have no idea what was charged up as
necessary expenses. Sometimes there were as
many as six men emploved on those Oakdale
cases which would make the difference be
tween $2 60 a day paid to each one, and $6
a day charged for each one a good round
sum each week. We were never allowed,
any expenses and we were always satisfied
when we could get money enough to keep
soul and body together.
McClnre Had It In His Own Hand. ,
"Did you never report your condition to
the society?"
We were never allowed to see any mem
bers of the society. McClure always told
us that we should under no circumstances
go to the society people. I never knew but
one member of the organization. I went to
see him once, but they told me he was not
in. I did not know him personally, and I
did not know whether or not they were fool
ing me."
"How did you detectives arrange to work
up the cases you handled?"
"McClure would call us into his room
and he would tell us what he wanted done.
He vtould explain just how we were to act
He ordered us to go into gambling places
and play cards, and to go into speakeasies
and buy drinks, just to get evidence, and
then, a'lter the parties were arrested, he
would order us to go on the stand and swear
against the. prisoners. After I had been, to
work a short time I wanted McClnre to go
after some of the more important cases, but
he told me to look after my own affairs, and
said that he wanted to get the Sunday
newspapers before he branched out into
other work.
'"I am through with the whole business
now, and if I can get the money due me I
will get away and will get into some legiti
mate work. I want no more of McClure and
his Law and Order Society."
POLITICIANS DON THE STRIPES.
Convicted Ballot-Box StnhTers Shed Tears
'When Taneht the Lock-Step.
Trenton, N. J., June 2a Sheriff Mc
Phillips, of Hudson county, arrived at the
State prison this afternoon with 13 of the
convicted Jersey City ballot-box stuff
era, who will serve 18 months each. Some
of them displayed much nervousness as the
gloomy walls came to view, and as they all
filed in through the big iron door not a
a word was spoken.
When the clerk examined the commit
ments and commanded them to turn to the
wall, some of their eyes filled with tears
and their mouths twitched nervously. Af
ter calling off the 13 names, the clerk or
dered them to place their right hand on
each other 3 shoulders, and while the con
stables and friends bade them goodby
they were marched to the barber shop, and
in less than half an hour were arrayed in
the prison stripes.
TWO VICTIMS OF RABIES.
Both Bitten at the Same Time, bnt Die a
Full Month Apart.
PHiLADELprA, June 2a Some six
weeks ago Elmer Pickering, a little boy,
and Mrs. Fred Hahman were bitten by a
rabid dog. The boy died of hydrophobia
on Decoration Day, bnt up to Thursday
Mrs. Hahnman experienced no ill effects.
On Thursday she complained of pain in
the hand that "had been torn. Symptoms of
hydrophobia rapidly developed. During
the periods that she was free from parox
isms she begged with her attendants to
shoot her. This afternoon death came in
comparative peace.
SEVERAL HOUSES RUINED
And Many Others Doomed by a Hnge
Landslide In Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, June 2a On a steep hill

the earth that a landslide 500 feet wide has
started. It moves slowly, but has already
wrecked a half dozen or more houses. It fa
threatening many more.

FORCED TO GIVE UP,

the Full List.
NAMES OF THELUCKY. ONES
Who Passed the Examination for
Entrance to the High School.
PEECENTAGES ARE ALL HELD OUT.
The Eivalrj of the Snb-Districts Crop3 Out
In the Fight
BESIEGED BY THE P1EENTS AXD PUPILS
Chairman Holmes, of the High School
Committee of the Central Board of Educa
tion, and his few advisers were forced to
recognizs their mistake. They gave out
last night the list of pupils who passed the
examination for admission to the High
School. They, however, refused to give out
the averages of the children, despite the
fact that they will have to be
made public as soon as the Central
Board meets. Even the fact that
the strain on the pupils after the worry of a
long examination was liable to wreck the
health of the -more nervous ones, did not
have any effect. Chairman Holmes would
not give up the list because he said it would
be discourtesy to the board.
In this stand Mr. Holmes was backed up
by David Torrence, Dr. McKelvey and
Hugh Adams. Ex-Sheriff McCacdless and
Mr. McKain led the forces on the other
side. After a bitter discussion the privi
lege of publishing the names was accorded,
but Chairman Holmes, who on his own re
sponsibility withheld the names, refused to
give up the percentages.
Raised a Storm of Indignation.
When the candidates, their friends, the
principals, teachers and supporters of the
schools read the papers yesterday and found
that the High School examination was
summed up in an array of figures that were
as Greek to the average taxpayer there was
a storm of indignation. The offices of the
Central Board were stormed; fur
ther light was demanded, but
it was not to be had. All
that the ruling powers designed to make
public has been given out and Secretary
Beisfar, acting under written orders, was
compelled to turn a deaf ear to all the ap
plicants. Even had he desired to furnish
what was so eagerly demanded, he was pow
erless. He had nothing but the names of
all the applicants. The nnmber and
averages of the candidates were
in a sealed report held by Chairman
Holme's, of the High School Committee.
Indignation was freely manifested, and the
comments were forcible and pointed. All
day the4 clamor grew, and finally at 4 o'clock
Secretary Keislar received a message from
Chairman Holmes -directing him to call a
special meeting of the committee for &
o'clock last night
When that hour arrived Chairman Will
iam Holmes, Messrs. John McKain, B. W.
Blaze, 'Hugh Adams, Alex CE. McCandless
and D. B. Torrence, and Dr. W. M. McKel
vey, President of the Central Board, were
? resent. Messrs. James E. Bogers and A.
C Henderson, members of the committee,
were absent
Chairman Holmes Did It Hlmselt
Chairman Holmes called the committee
to order, and said:
I took the liberty of calling this meeting
for the purpose of having tbe committee
consider the propriety or giving out tho
names and percentages of the candidates or
withholding them, as I have done by and
with tbe consent of some members of the
committee and on my own opinion. It has
been customary for the Cnalrmanor tho
committee to receive tho report, and he had
a rlgnt to withhold it or not.
Mr. McKain I am elad you called thl3
meeting. From my lontr vcars of experience
with yon in the ward and on this committee,
I didn't presume you would take the author
ity to do this thing. I read in tbe Sunday
papers that the Hth School Committee bad
decided to withhold the names and pcr
centases or the candidates. Tbe High
School Committee was never consnlted on
tbls question. I think It is a good thing to
publish tbe results and that it is a source of
gratification to tbe people to let them know
who have passed and who can go to the peo
ple's college.
Not Backed by the Committee.
Mr. Holmes-1 forgot to say that my action
was in tho Interest of peace. I said at tbe
last meeting it was not wise to publish
names.
Mr. McKain And I said then that I was
opposed to withholding tho report from
publication.
Dr. McCandless I concur In all Mr. Mc
Kean Das said: I am glad you called this
meeting for your own protection and to al
low tbe committee to express Its opinion.
When children work as hard as we know
these children have worked their parents, v
friends and relatives want to know the re
sults. Tbe people want this report, and I
move that we furnish for publication tho
names, numbers and percentages of all suc
cessful candidates.
Mr. McKain seconded the motion, and
then Dr. McKelvey and Mr. Torrence both
made speeches backing up the Chairman.
They declared the publication caused jeal
ousy. The latter gentleman said the prin
cipals opposed publication, with the excep
tion ot a few who wanted to boost their
schools.
Mt. Adams I believe Mr. Holmes did
what was best at the time. But there Is
such a public clamor for tbe names that It Is
now for the best interests of the schools to
give them. I don't believe in publishing the
percentages, bnt there Is a public demand
for the names. I don't agree with Mr. Tor
rence that It Is all newspaper clamor; the
people want those names. 1 will amend the
motion to read that the names only be pub
lished. Dr. McCandless My Idea Is to publish the
percentages, show what the schools are do
ing ana wnicn are emcieiiE. jv, xurrcuuo
ana Dr. McKelvey think that tbb principal
and teaobers are opposed to publication. I
notice when they are elected to schools they
run to tbe papers to have their own names
printed. Why then should they try to keep
the children out of the honor they have
worked so hard to win- Shame on people
who would rob a child.
Touched TJp the Grant School.
Mr. Adams I don't agree with Mr. Mc
Candless that this examination shows the
efflcienoy of the schools. Tho Grant has led
the list for years, yet we all know that It is
not proof that the Grant Is the most efficient
school.
The committeeman nodded gravely. Lest
it might be thought that Mr. Adams
words indicated underhand work for the
Grant school, it is only fair to say that he
referred to the fact that the Grant classes
are largely made up of pupils whd do not
reside in the ward. For instance, the Grant
entered 30 pupils this year, and all passed.
Out of this number but 2 lived in the
Grant sub-district, 23 lived in other parts
of Pittsburg, 3 in Allegheny, 1 in Sharps-burg,-
and 1 in Crofton. A class of this
sort frees the teachers from any local in
fluence and enables them to send up a
picked class. It is this that Mr. Adams re
ferred to.
A nnmber of amendments were offered
