DELIGHTED OTER THE SENATE'S ACTION
Oiluia, Xeb., July 1. Judge Gresham
has at last been heard from, and has defined
In his own peculiar way his position in re
gard to the Presidental nomination. Hon.
E. S. Scott, Chairman of the Iowa State
Central Committee of the People's party,
yesterday sent Judge Gresham tho follow
ing telegram:
"Will yon stand as tho candidate of the
Omaha convention tor the Tresidency on the
St. Louis platform? R. S. Scorr.
To this telegram Judge Gresham to-night
replied:
I stand by my interview of a few days ago
on this subject. My name will not he pre
sented to the Omaha convention.
Valteb Q. Greshax.
The Interview to which Jnd?e Gresham
refers vas one in which he stated that he
agreed with the People's party on a great
many things, but that he did not acrree with
thatpartv in all its declarations. This tel
egram this evening received from the Judge
is interpreted as meaning that he cannot
stand as a candidate on the St. Louis plat
form, since in his interview he stated that
he did not agree with that party in all its
declarations.
The announcement that a telegram has
been received from the Judge caused con
siderable excitement late this evening, and
when its contents became known it was gen
erally accepted by the more conservative
as clearly indicating that Judge Gresham
did not desire bis name to be longer men
tioned in this connection.
The Jndcc's Intent Accepted.
Cinsidcrable 'tress is put upon his clos
ing sentence "My name will not be pre
sented to the convention." This is accepted
as being the expression of his sincere desire
in regard to the matter
There are a few of the more enthusiastic
Gresham men, however, who are still dis
posed to believe that the Judge will accept
the nomination if it be tendered him, but
thee gentlemen appear to be in a hopeless
minority, and the indications now are that
this tclecratn will be accepted as authorita
tive and final, and that the Gresham boom
is a thing of the past.
The National Convention of the People's
party will convene under inspiring circum
stances that lend roseate hopes to the fut
ure. The passage of the free silver bill
bv the United States Senate to-day is ac
cepted by the delegates to the National
Convention to-night as a vindication of those
vital principles of their organization, the
demand for a greater circulating medium
among the common people. The leaders all
igreethat nothing could have been done at
this time that could have been more propiti
ous for the People's party's hopes or that
could have given greater inspiration of an
emphatic demand in favor of those cardinal
principles to which the various industrial
organizations have been so long committed.
The National Central Committee, com
posed of 150 prominent members of the Peo
ple's party fjom all sections of the Union,
was in session in this city this afternoon
when the United States Senate took the
final vote on the passage of the silver bill.
electrical Effect of the News.
Thirty seconds after the result was an
nounced by the Chairman of the United
States Senate, 1,500 milei away, the an
nouncement of the passage of the bill was
reported to this Conference by the represen
tative of the Associated Press. The effect
was electrical. Nearly every member jumped
to his feet, and three cheers were .given for
the United States Senate, the first legisla
tive body to come to the relief of the peo
ple, and'it was brawny General Terrell, of
Texas, who shouted, "Now let the people's
representatives in the lower House of Con
gress do the people's bidding and likewise
pass this bill"
There is a feeling here to-night that the
House of Representatives will hardly dare
adjourn without giving this measure its
consideration, and it is determined by the
leading spirits of this convention that its
position on the financial question will be
such as to leave no avenue of escape for the
Democrats of the solid South and the Re
publicans of the silver West, in the event
of the failure of the lower House to pass
this bill.
Telegrams of congratulation innumerable
have Dashed from this citr to Washineton.
to-night, congratulating Senators Kyle and
Pefier and all other People's party "legisla
tors for the first ray of hope that comes in
the passage of the free coinage bill by the
United States Senate.
Tho Fresldeutal Question on Top.
The Presidental question is naturally be
coming the euerossing topic in this great
gathering, and the feeling of uncertainty as
to the outcome is becoming one of positive
anxiety. The great popularity ot Judge
"Walter Q. Gresham makes his nomination
practically certain in the event of a possi
bilitv of his acceotance, and so strong is
Gresham's popularity becoming that many
of the more conservative leaders are fearful
that the convention may be led into the
serious error of bestowing the nomination
upon a man who will probably suhsequentlv
reject it
Ignatius Donnelly expressed the senti
ment of a strong clement this evening when
he said: "We "must not go too fast with
the Gresham movement, but must await
some expression from Judge Gresham him
self before we nominate him. If he is will
ing to accept and make the fight on our
platform, I think there is but one opinion
as to the desirability of his nomination, but
until it is known that he will accept, pru
dence demands that the nomination shall
not be tendered a man who is outside of the
party. If it should be done, and Gresham
should then decline, it would bring our
partv into ridicule throughout the coun
try." This caution of Donnelly, which finds an
echo from nearly all the People's party
leaders, had the effect of slightly checkiug
the Gresham movement to-night even beiore
the receipt ot the telegram from Judge
Gresham.
W eaver Prepared to Make the Race.
While he expresses his first choice to be
Gresham, General Weaver does not deny
that he stands prepaied to make the cam
paign in case he is selected as the party s
staudard bearer, and at this time Weaver is
certainly, next to Gresham, the choice of
the convention.
Ben Terrell, of Texas, is nrominentlv
mentioned to-night in connection with the
Vice Presidency.
3L H. Slater, the apostle of free coinage,
arrived this afternoon, and, fraternizing
with S. G. Nixon, of Nevada, opened Silver
League headquarters at the Millard. Mr.
Slater is the Chairman of the Colorado
Silver .League, and preached the gospel of
free coinage to the Republican Platform
Committee at Minneapolis and the Demo
cratic committee at Chicago. He came to
Omaha from Chicago, and feels that he has
finally found some of his own laith.
General James 3. Weaver, of Iowa, es
tablished himself at the Willard Hotel this
morning, and received the various People's
party delegates who crowded eagerly into
his room.
"Who is your choice for President?"
General Weaver was asked by an Asso
ciated Press reporter.
"Walter Q. Gresham is my first choice,
and Weaver is my second," said the Gen
eral, smiling.
"What do you think the platform will
be?"
Predictions on the Platform.
"I think it will be the St. Louis plat
form, which you have already published,
with a plank added denouncing the force
bill. In mv opinion there will be verv lit
tle difference of opinion on the platform,
and it will be a matter very quickly and
very harmoniously disponed of."
General Weaver smiled at the suggestion
that Senator Stewart had sent a messenger
to Omaha with a platform upon which he
would accept the nomination for the Presi
dency, and said: "I don't think Senator
Stewart has done anything of the kind.
He is a varv sensible man. and would be a
good candidate, but he would not expect the
platform to be molded to suit the con
venience of anv man."
Colonel Lee Crandall, of Washington, a
member of the National Committee and a
delegate from the District of Columbia, ar
rived this morninsr. He is also Secretary of
the National Bi-Metallic League, recently
organized, and a delegate to the National
Mining Congress at Helena. He has been
connected with the Greenback or the Peo
ple's party movement since 187ft. '"The
membership of our League is scattered all
over the country," sa'd Colonel Crandall,
"and it is growing rapidly. It is made up of
men of all political faiths. The League
is non-partisan, but its members will
naturally support the candidates who stand
for free "silver and unlimited coinage of
silver. The league as an organization will
not come before this convention, but it
passed a resolution at its recent meeting
asking the People's party to name a ticket
and make a platform acceptable to our mem
bers. Individual members will be here to
urge that, and among tbem will be General
A. J. Warner, of Ohio, who, though a
Democrat, is President of the league.
Tvo Candidate to Be Boomed.
"We will not urge any particular candi
date. My idea is that the delegates from
the Northwestern and the Pacific States
should be allowed to make the candidate for
President, and that the Southern States
should be permitted to fill the second place.
With proper candidates on the right plat
form the People's party will carry Georgia,
North and South Carolina and Alabama.
We also have a fighting chance in Texas,
and Western silver men are confident we
can carrv Colorado. Of course, this conven
tion is already committed to give us a silver
plank that will concede all the League
asks."
Editor William R. Dobbyn, of the Pro
gressive Age of Minneapolis, delegate at
large from Minnesota, said that Minnesota
and the Northwest was solid for Gresham,
with Weaver as second choice. In case the
Indiana man could not be prevailed upon
to accept, he thought it certain that a
Southerner would be selected for second
place. He was in favor of drafting a new
platform, embracing the main features of
the St Louis production. To the prohibi
tion and equal suffrage contingent, he said
that while the North was in favor of
equal suffrage it was veiy unpopular, and
he thought the convention would probably
try to conciliate the Southerners by drop
ping the plank. He did not think auvthing
would be said about prohibition, but 'a
a plank inserted concerning the national
liqnor traffic. "That," said Mr. Dobbyn,
"will be a vote-getter instead of a vote
loser. It removes the revenue tax, destroys
the political power of the saloon, prevents
the adulteration of liquors, and would not
offend the personal liberty advocates. The
position of the Prohibitionists will throw at
least 100,000 of their people to our ranks
without a doubt"
A Stewart Room on the Road.
The announcement of Hon. A. J. Streeter,
of Illinois, to-night that he did not believe
Judge Gresham would accept the Presiden
tal nomination, and that in the event of his
refusal he was in favor of United States
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has caused the
Stewart boom to receive quite an impetus. It
is becoming verv evident that the delegates
from the silver States of the West will give
Senator Stewart very earnest Bupport, and
in the event of Gresham being stricken from
the list, it is probable Weaver and Stewart
will be the leading candidates. The drilt
of sentiment ai this time is in favor of
Weaver as between these two, but there are
careful preparations being made to spring a
formidable Stewart boom on Sunday.
General A. J. Warner, of Ohio, is on his
way to this city to make the nomination of
General Stewart, and when this fact came
to public knowledge to-night it created a
great deal of discussion, as it was at once
accepted as an evidence that the powerful
Silver League had decided upon Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, as the Presidental can
didate ot the People's party.
The National Central Committee of the
People's party met -this afternoon and
selected Hon. "C Ellington, of Georgia, as
Temporary Chairman of the convention,
and John W. Hayes, General Secretary
Knights of Labor, as Secretary. It also de
cided that Hon. Ben Terrell, of Texas,
should, on behalf of the convention, make
the response to the address of welcome of
the Mayor of Omaha, at 10 o'clock to-morrow
morning. It was decided that addresses
in memory of President Polk, of the
Farmers' Alliance, should be delivered.
PB0HIBITI0H TICKET COMPLETE.
Dr. J. B. Cranfill, of Texas. Secures the
Nomination for Vice President.
CrjrcrNNATT, O., July L In the Prohibi
tion National Convention at 2 o'clock this
morning, Dr. J. B. Cranfill, of Texas, was
nominated for Vice President The names
presented to the convention were Sam W.
Small, of Georgia; William W. Satterlee, of
Minnesota; Joshua Levering, of Maryland;
J. B. Cranfill, of Texas, and Thomas R.
Carsicadon, of West Virginia. Small with
drew before a vote was taken. The vote
stood: Levering, 332; Cranfill, 41C; Satterlee,
2G: Carskadon, 19. The total number of
Votes cast was 813; necessary for a choice,
407.
Cranfill had enough to nominate, and,
after a long argument on another question,
lie was aeciarea tne nominee, and his nom
ination was made unanimous. J. B. Cran
fill was a delegate to this convention. His
nomination is largely due to the circulation
of a story during the call of States to the
effect that Levering is a member of the
coffee combine. He has been the leader of
the anti-liquor battle in Texas. He is about
45 years old. He is editor of the Advance,
prohibition and reform paper; also of the
Texas Baptist Standard.
On motion of A. A. Stevens, of Pennsyl
vania, the usual motions of thanks were
adopted, the statement being made that tho
Prohibitionists had been better treated in
Cincinnati than anywhere else. General
Singleton offered a resolution expressing
disapprobation of a certain hotel in re
fusing services to colored men. The reso
lution was howled down. After this action
a colored delegate from Pennsylvania gave
the party warning that it must stand with
the colored men who stand by it General
Singleton's resolution was called up and
adopted, and at 2:30 o'clock this morning
the convention adjourned sine die.

THE
UOW YELL FOR YALE.
A Week of Victories Over Its Bis: Ri
val, Harvard, Is Crowned by
YESTERDAY'S NEW LONDON RACE.
The Winning Oarsmen Bow Four Miles
Orer the Eirer in 20:48.
THEIR TACTICS PROVED TI1E BEST.
New London; Conn., July 1. This has
been a Yale week with a Yale finish. Tues
day's baseball victory over Harvard; this
morning Yale's conquest of Harvard '95 ia
the annual two-mile row on the Thames,
and, to put a gloss finish on the whole
season's aggregation of Yale's athletic
achievements, the record of the Yale
'Varsity eight in turning the tables on the
Harvard crew this afternoon, leaving them
even farther behind than Yale was left last
year and that is saying a great deal com
prise the remarkable showing.
The Harvard men have fallen away from
their interpretation of the Cook stroke,
which won for them last year, and have
substituted a faster but much less effective
method of oarsmanship this season. Yale
was again the worthy exponent of the
dogged, rugged, deliberate stroke which has
pulled its representative shell across the
line ahead so many times in so many years.
A criticism of either Yale's blad or body
work is difficult The crew which won for
the blue is called the most perfectly drilled
which ever represented it
Harvard's Work Not So Good.
Harvard's oarsmanship, however, was un
steady. While the stroke set byLynam
was followed moderately well, the inboard
work of the Harvard men was of a highly
unsatisfactory order, and the inharmonious
action was jarring to even the unpracticed
eye at times.' An analysis of the stroke of
both crews, submitted this evening by the
well-known Yale coach and rowing author
ity, George St. John Sheffield, discloses the
following facts:
Yale caught the water and rowed the
first 100 yards at the rate of 37 strokes a
minute, dropping then to 3G, which it held
till the first mile was completed. During
the next mile it rowed a nniform stroke of
35. dropping then to 31 until the last half
mile, when it finished strong af 36 Har
vard broke away at 39, which it kept up
for halt a mile. It then fell off to 37, in
creasing to 38 on the first half of the second
mile. It then gradually dropped to 33 at
the beginning of the last mile, when it
brnced wonderfully, finishing at 38.
All the afternoon, excursion trains brought
loads of people, who were soon transferred
to the big steamers. The water was per
fectly smooth, the air clear and the tide at
full ebb. A strong breeze was blowing from
the north at the backs of the crews as they
rowed down stream with the tide.
Tale Has the Choice of Coarse.
All these circumstances weie highly
favorable to the lighter and livelier crew of
Yale, and adverse to Harvard's beefier and
stronger oarsmen. It was Yale's year to
choose between the east and west course,
and she selected the former. The sun was
breaking through the clouds at just 5 o'clock,
when both Yale and Harvard eightsbrought
their shells down to the landings at their
quarters, and at almost exactly the same
second stepped into them. Contrary to gen
eral expectation, both crews rowed to their
positions. Harvard was there first, pulling
lazily across the river to their place. Yale
had to row down half a mile, aud came to
vlace with that regular, easy stroke which
has disarmed criticism for the past month,
The observation train made its appear
ance as the referee's word was given, and 10
oars dug into the water at 5:17. Harvard's
spry stroke secured a hold first, and the
crimson took the lead. For the first 100
vards she kept it, pulling a 39 stroke, while
Yale was about 38. Yale" splashed badly
and the boat' rolled a little, while Harvard
got off comparatively smoothly. At 1C0
yards from the start the Yale prow had shot
past the Harvard's. Yale had found its
form.
Harvard Gets Slightly Battled.
Harvard quickened its stroke a little,
making a desperate fight before relinquish
ing the lead. Iu so doing she dropped into
bad form, causing the beat to roll and pro
gress by perceptible jerks. For 60 yards
Harvard gave an extremely poor exhibition.
Both crews at this point settled into the
stroke which has characterized their rowing
in practice all the spring: Harvard with a
quick, speedy dash, and Yale with a delib
erate, powerful force, which made a gap be
tween the two shells at every dip. At the
first half sile Yale was rowing half a
length in the lead, with both crews ex
hibiting the finest burst of speed witnessed
during the entire race, except, possibly, at
the nnish. Yale continued its effective
spurt, while Harvard fell back little by
little. When the Yale shell passed the
first mile post it was three lengths ahead.
The Harvard stroke had taken a surprising
drop down to 35, while Galaudet s oars
struck the water with metrical regularity,
37 times a minute.
Yale took matters a trifle more easily
from the mile to the mile-and-a-half post,
and the gap between the shells was little
changed. Yale was four lengths ahead at
the two-mile post, which marked the con
clusion of half the race. Yale was pulling
a trifle more vigorously.
Harvard's Splashing and Bad Steerlnc.
The Harvard coxswain was seized with a fit
of crooked steering, which brought his boat
toward the west shore, leaving Yale near
the center of the stream with the full ad
vantage of breeze and tide. At the two-and-a-hall-mile
post Yale had placed fully eight
lengths of clear water between her stern
and the Harvard bow.
The affliction which overtook the Harvard
oarsmen at this particular point of the
race was splashing. For 100 yards they
pulled like freshmen in this respect. Yale
pulled steadily, while their shell glided
over the river surface with toboggan-like
smoothness. Along by the three-mile flag,
Lynam and Captain Kettoon, Harvards
Nos. 8 and 7, .swung badly out of shape. In
their desperation to urge the boat along at
a winning pace, each set a different stroke
for the men behind.
It was a procession after the third mile
post was passed. The Yale oars dropped
exact and true, while Harvard lagged. A
short distance before the last half-mile post
was reached they passed between the long
lines of yachts which lined the course,
thence to the finish. A rousing salute was
given both crews as they passed each yacht
and the effect was magical. The inspira
tion was felt in'both boats. The stroke was
quickened, the keels kept more even and
the oarsmanship of both crews was decidedly
more trim and cleanly cut
Yale Wins by IS 1-8 Seconds.
At 48 seconds past 5:37 the Yale boat shot
by the finish, with Harvard 15 or 16 lengths
to the rear. The Hariard shell crossed the
line 15J seconds later. Every member of
lale s crew finished fresh, and only one or
two of Harvard's crew were really ex
hausted. Every whistle in New London was sub
jected to a full head ot steam, and the din
was distracting. Thousands of blue flags
floated alott, while the losers' crimson
drooped or was modestly kept out of sight
The official time for the four miles is
20:48 for Yale; for Harvard, 21:42U. Yale
backers held their money till the last mo
ment, keeping thousands of dollars back,
because the Harvard men wanted odds of
$100 to $70; but the last bets were $100 to
$55 on Yale.
YALE FSE8HMEN WON.

Defeat the Harvard and Columbia
Crews In Bather Slow Time.
New London, Ct., July L The race be
tween the Yale, Harvard and Columbia
freshmen crews, postponed from yesterday,'
was finally contested at noon to-day. The
PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
event could not be called at the appointed
honr, owing to a heavy rainfall. The rough
water interfered with Harvard's chance.
Yale-won by 2 lengths In 12.03)4, after an
exciting straggle, Columbia second, Har
vard third.
Harvard won the toss for position and
Yale got second choice. Harvard took cen
ter position, Yale west and Colnmbia got
the east side. The race started at 12 o'clock.
Columbia struck the water first, but the
powerful stroke of Yale at once sent her
boat into first place. Nearing the three
quarters of a mile Yale was rowing power
fully at 38 to the minute and the other,
crews from 40. Yale was two lengths,
in the lead at the three-quarters of a mile;
Columbia was leading Harvard a length.
At the mile Yale quickened up to 40. En
tering the last half mile Columbia's coxs
wain steered wildly and Harvard gained,
but Columbia's strength was too much.
Yale held her own to the finish, pulling
evenly and running the boat along at a uni
form 36 to 38 strokes a minute. She finished
about eight lengths ahead of Columbia, who
led Harvard by two and a half lengths. The
official time as" announced was: Yale,12K)3;
Columbia, 1250; Harvard, 12:28. The time
for the first mile was: Yale, 5:47; Columbia,
5:53, and Harvard, 5:56.
It was a slow race and about a minute
short of the Freshman IntercolIegiatei
record. Richardson, who pulled Harvard'
No. 2, weakened toward the end of the race
and collapsed at the finish.

TORIES OUTBID THE LIBERALS
In the Scramble for the Labor Vote, But It
Doesn't Avail Much.
MRS. CHAMBERLAIN ON THE K0STEDM
tCOPTBIOnT. 1392. BT IT. T. ASSOCIATED PTOSS.j
London, JulyL The present generation
has seen no general election which will be
so hotly contested as the one now proceed
ing. Party spirit is so embittered that open
conflicts on the streets are prevented only
by the restraints' of the jndicious system
now existing for the control of election
procedure.
Political feeling boils over at all the
meetings, especially when they are held in
rooms. The candidates are howled down,
rowdyism is rampant and the assemblages
lire broken up. Many of the candidates find
it necessary to adopt the plan of making
tours of their districts in wagonnettes and
speaking to their audiences in the open air,
where they generally get a hearing. These
often Impromptu gatherings largely occur
in the districts in London inhabited by
workingmen, where organized bands of
bnllies are bribed to incite to riot
When the assemblages are addressed from
wagonettes, these bullies do not have time
to arrange their plans to interfere, and the
candidate makes his speech and gets away
before the leaders of the bullies can get
their gangs together.
Bolh Sides Dodging the Lair.
Enormous sums of money are being spent
by both Conservatives and Liberals in hid
den ways, so as to evade the bribery act.
The Liberals charge that the Conservatives,
whose purse is ampler than anything the
Liberal Executive can obtain, with running
paid Socialist and labor candidates to break
the Liberal vote.
As a matter of fact, the list of both
Socialist and labor candidates who are
standing for election has become thinned
during the week. To-night's list presents 33
labor candidates, including thote who are
seeking re-election. Seven of them have no
chance of success, and their only aim is to
spoil the chances of the Liberals standing in
their districts. Thus there are only 2G
genuine labor candidates in the field, of
which only four are likely to be elected,
making the labor vote in the next Parlia
ment of about the same value it was in the
last. The Socialists are nowhere. Several
candidates pose as their men, but pure
socialism has absolutely vanished.
The Conservatives in London and other
populous centers outbid their opponents in
the extent of their social programme. The
case of the Tory candidates at Stepney and
Lime House applies to the others. They ad
vocate the establishment of an eight-hour
day, the creation of a Labor Minister and
the taxation of ground rents. They also
advocate the fixing of the rate of wages by
the union.
The tabor Party Shnt Ont.
A programme like this cuts out the
Labor party and beggars the socialists. The
trades unions are suspicious as to the Con
servative pledges and continue to incline
toward the Liberal candidates.
No new factor has appeared during the
week to alter the party forecasts. A high
Government official told the reporter of the
Associated Press that the Cabinet had shown
their conviction of coming defeat by set
tling their private papers in order to be in
readiness to vacate their offices. The
Ministers never leave all their official
papers for their successors. Documents re
vealing too much disappear. A general
clearance ot those documents which the
Liberal Government will be unable to claim
has already occurred.
Mr. Gladstone's declaration that the re
jection of the home rule bill by the House
ot .Lords will not involve a lresh appeal to
the country, as Parliament will then pro
ceed with other measures, has been a shock
to the Irish party. It is certain that they
will not tolerate any action ot the kind in
tending to indefinitely shelve the home rule
question.
The British Non-Conformists have issued
a manifesto. The declaration is a vigorous
defense of Mr. Gladstone, but hardly one in
a hundred of the British Non-Conformist
ministers signed it
The Confidence of the Non-Conformtgta.
Its adherents express supreme confidence
that Mr. Gladstone will not be guilty of
treason; that religious freedom will never
jeopardize the liberties of Ulster Protes
tants; that Parliament will never pass a
scheme favorins the Itomish ecclesiastical
'system, and, generally, that the fears of the
ulstentes is utterly groundless. Dr. Dale,
the leader of the Congregationalists, and
Dr. Dallinger, theleader of the Methodists,
protest against assigning to the manifesto
the character of representative of Non-Conformist
opinion.
The Speaker' estimate of the Irish elec
toral result is: Anti-Parnellite, 75; Union
ists and Parnellites, & The Unionists say
they are certain of 28 seats, and the Parnell
ites predict the return of 24 of their candi
dates. Timothy Healy offers 10 to 100 that
the Parnellites will get only five seats.
French papers concur in the opinion that
Lord Eosebery has dispelled -the illusion
that Mr. Gladstone's accession to power
would mean the evacuation of Egyyt Apro
pos of Mr. Gladstone's foreign polloy, Ar
nold Foster has originated an electoral
boomerang in saying that "There is not a
quarter of the globe where Great Britain
has an enemy in which Mr. Gladstone has
not a friend."
Mrs. Bichard Chamberlain, who has taken
the stump for her husband, has acquired
distinction by her intrepidity in facing
rowdy opponents. An effective orator, she
has won the admiration of the Liberals by
facing and quelling uproarious Islington.
She persisted in being heard, overcame her
opponents and made (hem friends.
BERING SEA ARBITRATORS,
President Carnot's Choice Narrowed Down

PARIS, July L The English Embassy
and the United States Legation here are

attending the coming Bering Sea arbitra

Drunken German Sailors Ainnclc.
Madrid, July 1. A drunken sailors'
row, which occurred at San Sebastian, a sea
port town on the Bay of Biscay, caused a
small riot at that place. The sailors engaged
were some of the German ship Bertha, who
had been allowed shore liberty and got
drunk. A quay watchman and several other
were stabbed by the sailors. The Civil
Guards turned out but the men escaped to
their ship. The German Consul promises
that the offenders shall be arrested and tried
by a Spanish tribunal,

THE POPE A DEMOCRAT.
Ho Favors No Purely Catholic Party In
French Politics, bot Will Worfc With
Conservative Republican Kljlit No At
tention to Royalist Protests.
Bome, July L The commission of five
Cardinals on French 'affairs have been in
daily conference on recent events in France.
Their resolutions have reference chieflr to
the famous declaration of the Itoyalist
Bight, opposing the intervention ot Borne
in French politics as at variance with the
national traditions. The Holy See has de
cided to repel from any side all attempts to
constitute a purely Catholic political party.
It accepts the measures taken by Mgr.
Piou, De Mun, Etienne and St. Laury in
preparing for the coming elections, and to
create a Constitutional Conservative Ee
publican party powerful enough to neu
tralize radicalism and to consolidate the
Bepubiic.
As to the declarations of the Boyalist
Bight there are two currents of opinion
here one deeming it useless to reply to
declarations having no electoral or parlia
mentary value, the other, that a reply
shonld be made in firm and decided lan
guage. The Pope has now ordered that ,no
reply shall be given to the declaration of
the French Boyalist Eight, and for two
reasons in order not to give too much im
portance to the opponents of the Papal
policy and, to avoid exciting passion on so
delicate a subject as the deliverance of the
Pope on a doctrinal point For the sake of
peace, and in order not to embarrass the sup
porters of his policy, the Pope has re
nounced all declarations in an encyclical
which will appear soon and will pass over
this burning theme.
The Vatican has been highly pleased with
the programme of theBepublican Bight It
is considered in accordance with his private
Intentions and desires. A year ago now
the recognized chief was in Bome and
placed before the Pope the ontlines of the
programme. He said, in coming from an
andlence, that "the Pope will go far, he
Is more republican, more democrat than we
are." The Pope had, in fact, from the
first given his support to the formation of
a Democratic and Bepublican Bight The
programme of the Constitutional Bight, as
now formulated, is a faithful reproduction
of his ideas. Hence the marked favor with
which it has been received at the Vatican.
DONE WITH THE AMALGAMATED.
The Carnecle Steel Company Will Treat
tvith Its Men Individually.
Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Steel
Company, yesterday outlined the plans of
the company in relation to the Homestead
mills in the following statement:
The mills ar Homsetead have been closed
for repairs, and will remain closed for two
or three weeks. Abont the 15th or 20th of
July it will be published and posted that
any of our old employes may return to worsr,
and must make application by a certain day
as individuals. All who do not apply by
the time stipulated will beconsideied not to
desire to woik, and their places will be filled
by new men. It is in the worfc of giving
new men the places of the old employes that
will cause tho real conflict. The strikers
will ofTer no violence so long as the mills
stand idle, but about the 20th or 21th of July,
when new employes are brought to the
mills the old men will seek to pershade their
successors to leave, and. falling to do this,
will attempt to dislodge them. It will be
easy to get new men Into the mills, for one
of the Vanderbilt lines passes directly
through the pioperty, and the new men may
easily be set down there. We made the
scales to suit trade and mechanical condi
tions, and grave no thought to the political
cause or effect, nor to the tariff.
