HIS SEASONS MADE PUBLIC He Only Took Charge Provided His Business Would Allow. CONFERENCE AT THE WHITE HOUSE resulting in the Announcement That a flew Deal Will Sa Hade. SOME OP EIS POSSIBLE SUCCESSORS fSPECI AX. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Washixgtoj.-, July 5. W. J. Campbell, of Chicago, the recently elected Chairman oi the Kepublican National Committee, had a two hours' talk with the President this afternoon, and after returning to his hotel, made the announcement that he should re fPectfnlly decline to serve as manager for ine Republicans in the coming Presidental "fcmpaign. This is the statement referred 4: When I was elected Chairman of the National Committee it was with the distinct understanding that my business engage ments then pending might rdnder it impos sible for me to accept in that capacity. This contingency was fully understood by the committee and others diicctly interested. Since the adjournment of "the committee I hare boen unable to adjust my affairs so as to render it practicable for mo to act as Chairman, and I therefore, as I re served the ricnt to do, announce that I will not so act. Under the authority rested in me by the National Committee, I will prob ably announce the Executive Committeo within the next few days,and that committee will meet at an early date. At that meeting I will formally tender my resignation and inT successor will be then ejected. My suc cessor will be chosen by tho Executive Com mittee, as authorized by resolution adopted by the National Committee. The Conference at the White Ilonse. The President and Mr. Campbell were not alone at the White House conference, for some of Mr. Harrison's closest political and personal friends were present to talk over the unpleasant situation and make suggestions as to the most diplomatic way to handle it The gentlemen present at the conference besides the President and Mr. Campbell were Secretaries Rusk and Elkins, ex-Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, General Michener, of Indianapolis, and Washing ton, Harrison's manager at Minneapolis, and Land Commissionpr "Tom" Carter, the undermined Secretary of the National Com mittee. These gentlemen canvassed the political situation thoroughly, carefully considered the effects of Mr. Campbell's declination, and assisted in preparing the above state ment which that gentleman gave to the press. After leaving the "White House and having dinner, these Republican wise men locked themselves in a room at the Ar lington Hotel and proceeded further to discuss the situation. They were all wonderfully noncommunicative, bnt it is understood that the reorganization of the Rational Committee made necessary by Mr. CarVpbell's withdrawal was the chief dis cussion under consideration. A New Chairman Under Consideration. At 10 to-night the President, Mr. Camp bell and Mr. Carter began another confer ence in the library of the "White House, its object being the selection of a Chairman to succeed Campbell and the further organ ization of the committee. It has already been arranged that Mr. Campbell shall re main a member ot both, the General and the Executive Committees. The politicians in Washington refuse to belieTe that Mr. Campbell is sincere in the reasons he gives lor declining to serve as Clarkson's successor. They are confident that he lays down the newly acquired bur den for two reasons. First, because the criticism caused by the knowledge of his connection with the Armour beef monopoly of Chicago would certainly be most in jurious to the Republican party; and sec ond, because ex-Senator Farwell has made known to the public the fact that President Harrison once characterized Mr. Campbell as "a professional lobbyist, unfit to be ap pointed to any Federal office. " Mr. Campbell is known to be a high minded, dignified man, and he undoubtedly resented such a slur as this, even though it emanated from the lips of the President of the United States. He knew, however, when he permitted himself to be chosen Chairman, just what Harrison's opinion ot him was, lor it had been given to him by Mr. Farwell at the time the President ex pressed it. Krai Reason for the Resignation. The ex-Senator's little exposure had not much of anything to do with Mr. Camp bell's action, however, and neither did the publication of the iact that he is Armour's attorney. The real cause of Mr. Campbell's declination to serve his party is that his employer, Mr. P. D. Armour, put his foot dow n, and said that it must not be. He did not want his meat business mixed up with Republican politics. It was therefore a question of bread and butter with Mr. Campbell, and like the wise man he is, he soon saw clearly which side his bread was buttered on. In this connection there has been a rumor current in Washington for several davs to the effect that Mr. Armour was about to an nounce his conversion to Clevelandism. A prominent Democrat who talked with the Chicago millionaire a few days ago, how ever, says that Mr. Armour's real poition is that he does not care who is elected, as either Cleveland or Harrison would be ac ceptable to the business interests of the country. How Campbell ITas Selected. Mr. Campbell's selection at the recent meeting of the national committee was known to be but temporary, and was brought about for the purpose of putting an end to andcoveringup a Republican lamilv quarrel canwl bv the dethronement of Chairman Ularkson. A majority ot the national committee resented the President's repudiation of Clarkson and were deter mined to lorce his re-election. In order to avoid the ficlit that would nave followed, the President's friends adopted the expedient of presenting the Dame ot a man acceptable to the friends of Clarkson. The name of Mr. Campbell was the best one that could have been chosen, as he, having been a member of the National Committee for several years, and all that time on earnest supporter and admirer of James G. Blaine, was of course popular witlt Clarkson, Fasct, Fessenden and the other IShiine men on the committee. The President's idea was that bv calming the tempest lor a moment he would be able to look about bin for a Permanent Chair man. He probably has one selected now, but if so he is keeping his name quietly to himself lor the present. The Western Democrats, particularlv those from Illinois, have quite generally pronounced the choice of Mr. Campbell f o'r the Republican leader as an unwise one, and many of them have predicted that the President and his friends conld not aflordto have Mr. Campbell as the Republican fig urehead during the campaign. On this point Senator Palmer, of Illinois, said to day: Democrats Sorry Campbell Has Quit. "I am not snrnrised to hear that Mr. Campbell thinks of retiring. I have thought it likely that he would. His be ing at the head of the committee would be apt to cot the.Republicans'a great many votes in Illinois and especiaUy among the farmers, whose votes Mr. Harrison can not afford to lose. Justlv or unjstly, he is credited with having been very active, in the lobby at Spring field, and the members ot the famous Mutual Protective Union are opposed to him. His association with Armour and the belief that he was active in the lobby in the dressed beef combine offends the farmers with him. "We Democrats regard his selection as a good side issue in the campaign. I hope he will not retire. " The names most prominently mentioned to-rrt in connection with the chalrman ' f.jare Commissioner T. H. Carter, J. H. Manlev, of Maine, Samuel Fessenden, of New Hampshire, and Mr. Hobart, of New Jersey. Chairman Campbell will probably ap point the executive committee to-morrow, and those whose names follow, with perhaps one or two exceptions, will, it is believed, be found upon this list: J.' H. Manley, Maine; Garrett Hobart, New Jersey; Samuel Fessenden, Connecticut; J. S. Clarkson, Iowa; W. O. Bradley, Kentucky; H. C. Payne, Wisconsin; S. C Kerens, Missouri; E. Rosewater, Nebraska; and J. N. Huston, Indiana. , KILLED IN COLD BLOOD. A Quarrel Between Oil Hen Results In a Fatal Tragedy. FlNDLAT, O., July 3. Special This city was this evening disgraced with another cold-blooded murder. The participants in the affray were two prominent young oil men. The affair occurred just north of this city at 5 o'clock. Hiram Scouton and James Lawson were interested in adjoining oil leases upon which operating wells were located. This morning Lawson missed one of his tools from the derrick, and went to Scouton and accused him of having taken it The accusation led to warm words, and Scouton finally got tired of Lawson's abuse and gave bim a sound drubbing. Lawson came to this city and bought a 38-caliber revolver with the intention ot getting even with Scouton. This evening he learned that the latter was at his well and he started for that place. Scouton tried to avoid more quar reling, but Lawson came for trouble and was bound to have it "When he found that Scouton would not fight with him or answer his accusations he deliberately took from his pocket the new revolver and shot Scouton through the heart The victim fell without a word and death resulted in a very short time. The murderer took to a neighboring wood and is still at large. The Sheriff and a large posse are hunting lor him. BANDIT BANb BROKER UP.

BEPAIKS WILL BE COMMENCED. The Homestead Works to Be Pnt In Shape Within a Week. "Repairs will be commenced upon the Homestead works next Saturday or Mon day," said Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Steel Company, yesterday. When this statement was made the secretary had just come out of Chairman Frick's room, where the officials of the company had been holding a meeting. "Our reasons for send ing deputies to Homestead was to protect the property at the plant "No immediate violence was feared. We simply apprehended trouble and thought we wonld take time by the forelock and get ahead of the workmen in case they decided to do some damajre. We have many re pairs to make at the works, and from the number of threats made by the workmen recently it looked as though, if we did not soon take some action, we would have the whole plant to rebuild. Even if the threats of the men were not genuine, we are now on the safe side. Of course, it is unfortu nately more than probable that there will be some unavoidable friction when we are prepared to start the mill, but I think the trouble will only be short-lived, and that after a time matters will adjust themselves. "We had a similar experience before both at Braddock and Dunue'sne. where wo de feated organized labor. "We are therefore not in any way fearful of the result in the present case. It is a mistaken idea that the Carnegie Steel Company has any quarrel with the men because they are members of the Amalgamated Association. We would just as soon have Amalgamated men work ing for us as any other." DOES NOT FEAfi TEOUBLE, Colonel Sormnn ai. Smith Has Great Faith in the Men. Colonel Norman M. Smith, of the Eigh teenth Regiment, was at the Union depot last evening. He has faith that the Home stead trouble will be satisfactorily settled. He had heard that an appeal had been made to Governor Pattison, but he thought troops wouldn't be necessary. If the worst came to the worst, he suggested that it would be goodpoliey not to send the local regiments. "As long as the affairs at Homestead are under the control of the Amalgamated Association," continued Colonel Smith, "nobody need have any fear of disorder. The officials of this organization are sensible and intelligent men, and are oppose, to outbreaks of any kind. The trouble is that a rabble may collect and take things into their own hands against the protest of the leaders However, I don't look for any trouble. I havn't been in Homestead for a long time, and my presence there now would only stir up disorder. I will say that the boys who served in the cote country never received so much as thanks from the operators, and they feel very sore about it" A WAGE COMMISSION To Be Appointed by the Government, Sug gested as a Solution. George N. Riley, of Braddock, in speak ing of the Homestead strike, said: "1 think Tom Marshall's advice at Schenley Park on the Fourth is good. He advised the men for God's sake to have patience. They must be patient before their troubles can be settled. As I understand it, the owners want to run the mill in their own way. The time has come when the Government should interfere in wage disputes. These matters when employer and employe can't agree should be settled by arbitration. This is what is needed at Homestead now, and I hope that both sides will refer the trouble to disinterested people. The Gov ernment should have a commission of reputable men to look after all labor diffi culties. The commission should have authority to compel both sides to show the books and tell the truth. Then a fair de cision conld be given. Something of this kind is certainly needed. Strikes are be coming too frequent" DON'T WANT WOBK NOW. The Sheriff Not Bothered These Days by Needy Applicants. A gentleman connected with the Sheriff's office said yesterday: "It seems to me that this office has been, ever since I have been in it, the mecca of all the men in Fittsburg who were out of work. Every day "men have come here begging for something to do, even to watching a store which the Sheriff had seized. Any day during the last six months I could have picked up 50 men for special work. During the last three or four davs, when it has seemed likely that the Sheriff would be called on to nreserve the peace at Homestead, there has not been at the office a single applicant forapostion." BHEBIFF M'CLEABY THINKING. He Wanted to Sleep Over the Position He Is to Take. Sheriff McCleary said last evening, after he had talked with Deputy Cluley. "I do not know what I will do to-morrow. The company has called on me to protect its property, but the demonstration to-day has set me to thinking. I will sleep on this affair and will be at the office at 8:30 to morrow morning. What I will do then I cannot say." PLIMMEE TO MEET DIXON. Jf a Pnrse Match Can't Be Arranged They Will 'Still Come Together. Boston, July 5. Special Billy Plim mer, the English bantam weight who whip ped Tommy Kelly, the American champion, this morning sent a challenge to Captain Cooke, offering to fight Dixon at 112 pounds weight at ring-side, in three weeks, for $2,500 . a side and a purse. O'Rourke, the backer of the colored lad, accepted the terms, all bnt the weighing-in time. He posted $500 and agreed to post $2,000 more next week if Plimmer will make a match with the weighing-in time set for 1 o'clock. O'Rourke also wants a $5,000 pnrse to go with the stake. Captain Cook telegraphed O'Rourke's reply to Plimmer, but it is doubtful if the Englisman will agree to change the weighing-in time. Whether the fight comes off or not O'Rourke will make arrangements for a six-round go between Dixon and Plimmer in Madison Square Garden in a few weeks.

" SILVER MEN CONFER And Decide That 'the Senate Bill If Good Enough to Be Passed. WASHliiOTON, July 5. An informal conference between " 30 and 10 Democrats who are favorable to free coinage, was held at the Capitol to-night, with a view to as certaining the sentiment existing concern ing the alleged defects in the Senate silver bill, and whether it will be wise to attempt to pass the bill without amending it There was a very general interchange of opinion regarding the propriety of attempting to secure action on the bill in its present shape. Notwithstanding the different views held by the members present, a motion was adopted expressing it as the sentiment of the meeting that the bill should be passed as it came from the Senate. This will leave the matter of remedial hgislation, in the event such should be deemed necessary for further future consideration legislation which those present thought there would be no difficulty in securing. Among those present at the conference were Representatives Culberson and Bland, both of whom have expressed the opinion that the bill as passed by the Senate is de fective. Senators Stewart and Morgan, and Representatives Bartine and Townsend, of Colorado (Republicans), were present by invitation. CATHOLIC INDIAN CONGRESS It Winds Up With a 1'east and an Arjonrn ment to Next Jnly. CnEYENNE Aoen'cy, (Big Sioux Agency), S. Dak., July 5.

W0BSE THAN AN ENEMY'S ATTACK, Serlon Effects or a Silnte From the Guns of a Fort. New BEDF0itD,MASs.,July 5. Special There was a funny incident at Fort Phceuix yesterday which ought to open the eyes ot the officials at the War and Navy Departments. Some mischievous persons loaded one of the Mb annon mounted on the breastworks, and, lighting a long fuse, retired to a spot whence they could easily escape without detection, and awaited de velopments. They were hardly prepared for what they saw. The gun went off all right, but the recoil wrecked the founda tion, tore up the breastworks, and seriously damaged the Government building. It was such an unusual thing to have one of those guns discharged that the keeper's wife was make seriously ill by the shock. The people hereabouts are asking them selves whether the mere act of discharging the cannon of the fort at an invading enemy would do more execution than the fire from the enemy's guns. BAD BESULTS OF PATRIOTISM. Jnvenlle WRrrlors Meet In Combat and Inflict Serlons Wounds. Chicago Herald. Educating patriotism in children may occasionally lead to unsatisfactory occur ences. At Belgrade, in Servia, 200 such juvenile patriots met to play at soldiers. They began throwing little stones at each other, slowly increasing the missiles in size, and when victory hesitated in declaring it self for either party they took to sticks and pocket knives and assaulted each other. Some women and men trying to make peace were driven away with stones. A few officers of police looked on and en joyed the lively and practical way of incul cating patriotic sentiments. When the lit tle warriors were finally separated nine boys were seriously hurt, a few ot them dying of their wounds and a large number were for weeks put hors de combat MUBDEBED FOB HIS MONET.

DELEGATES FEOM MANY STATES To Take Fart in Proceeding Ihat Will Likely Result in IMPORTANT CHANGES IN DOCTRIXE SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH! New Yokk, July 5. A number of dis tinguished Hebrew rabbis have just reached this city from various States of the Union, and more of them will be here to-morrow to take part in the Central Conference of American Rabbis, which will be opened here in the evening, and the sessions of which will be continued till next Sunday night The Conference will be held in the vestry of Temple Bethel, Fifth avenue and Seventy-sixth street This body is representatives of the greater part of 1,000,000 Hebrews now liv ing in theUnited States, one-fourth of whom are in this city. There are 100 members of the Union of American Rabbis, by which the conference is to be held, and efforts have been made to bring the whole of them here on the occasion, but the result of these efforts is yet in doubt, for reasons that are likely to appear during the sessions. There is an older organization of Rabbis, known as the "Hebrew Ministers' Association of America," the President of which is Rabbi Gottheil, of this city, and attempts have been rendered futile, through the recent action of Rabbi Gottheil. An Important Conference at Tland. Secretary Levi says that the New York conference will be one of the most serious Rabbinical conferences yet held, and he notifies American Rabbis that it is their sa cred duty to fake part in it It is also like ly that preparations will be made for send ing a Hebrew delegation to the "Congress ot Religions" that is to be held in Chicago during the World's Fair. The Rabbinical conference, being desir ous of establishing harmonious relations with the Hebrew Ministerial Association, asked the members of that association to take part in the proceedings. It was re buffed by Rabbi Gottheil, who replied that "for various reasons" he could not lay this invitation before the association, of which he is president, and of which Rabbis Jas trow, Jacobs and De Sola Mendes are offi cers. The executive committee has now sent an official invitation to the individual members oi the association. The founder of the conference, Rabbi Wise, explains that it is not a lesi1",,.e body and cannot exact binding laws, yet it can act in an advisory way and render de cisions upon disputed questions, as the Rabbis of all post-talmudical times ha-0 dote. The conference can give juoVenti for example, whether the Ar-aham nto shall be imposed upon proselytes to Judaism. Intelligent Action Is Wanted. Rabbi Wise has attempted to prepare the minds of the members for intelligent action upon it by publishing a series of very erudite and elaborate discourses under the title: "The Proselyte Question." In these discourse" c quotes from the chief authori ties upon Mosaic law who have written within the past 2,000 years, and after mak ing their prescriptions the subject of 'full argument, lie reaches the conclusion that Gentiles ought to be admitted into the fold of Israel without the Abrahamic rite. His judgment in this matter is disputed with great acrimony by Hebrew and rab binical scholars who have explored the depths ot the Jovah, and he is regarded by them as no better than a false prophet who would undermine Israel and destroy orthodoxy. He maintains, however, up to this time, and despite all opposition, that the adoption of his views by the Rabbinical Conference would be the means of bringing over to Judaism a multitude of Christians. For nearly a quarter ol a century he has held this opinion, and he has repeatedly laid it before bodies of rabbis. Chances for a New Clinrch. His followers say let the Abrahamic rite be abrogated, and the abrogation officially adopted and promulgated, and thousands of Gentiles will join the synagogue, as es pecially American reform Judaism will not insist upon the observance of any religious rite that could not be easily dispensed with if too exacting. Marriages between He brews and Christians would be contracted in larger numbers than now, and before long a new church would be forming, neither He brew nor Christian, but a little of both. Such a church would attract thousands of young dissenting Hebrews and nominal Christians. The formation of such a new church would be the one thing for which thousands have been looking these many years. The abrogation of the rite was the most radical reform carried out by St. Paul. It opened a door to the re formed Judaism, for which Christianity stood at the outset, and admitted thousands who would have been barred out, and it subsequently led to the universal spread of Christianity equivalent to Judaism. But it did also that which the Hebrew sages were afraid of. They said: "The proselytes are as injurious to Israel as leprosy." TRADING IN ABABIA. A Nation Where the Yankee Is Outdone in the Matter of Bargain Making. The Arabs are the shrewdest traders in the world, says a writer in Harper's Young People, They know to a farthing the value of the article they want to sell, and they will haggle half a day for a penny. The American who comes to Arabia, Northern Africa, Russia or any trading point in the Old World to deal with these Arabs may consider himself "smart," but the chances are that the Arab trader will get the best of him every time. These Arabs bring their goat-skins, which is the principal commodity they sell to Europeans, over the mountains from the in terior, traveling great distances to the trad ing stations to meet the foreign buyers. Brokers are employed at these places to bring about a conference between the Amer ican buyer and the Arab seller. This broker gets the two parties together in a room, and after much solemn drinking of coffee they are ready for business Arabs are very suspicious in trading, and no one but the buyer and seller is permitted to know what the terms are. They clasp right hands, and a scan is thrown over the hands, that none may see. Not a word is uttered. The offer is made in sign language. The buver grasps the seller's finger at a joint The first joint indicates an offer of so much, the second joint so much more, and the knuckle-joint so much, their bands being always hidden by the scar1 The Arab invariably rejects with scorn the first offer. The parties walk about the room, and turn their backs upon each other. Then tho buyer, if he is inexperienced enough to buy by weight, is lucky if he doesn't find a pound or so of Arab sand sewed, up cunningly in the shank of each goat-skin. DIED WITH THEIB BOOTS ON.

Cornell, of the Iron League, is acting in concert.with Carnegie in fighting organized labor. This is the true significance of the contest between the League and the labor unions of this city." .Such was the statement made by Secre tary McAndrews, of District Assembly No. 253, Knights of Labor, when questioned to day in regard to the situation of the iron strike in New York. "Then you think there was an understand ing between Cornell and Carnegie, or the latter's representatives, that the iron men should make war on the labor unions?" was asked. "Yes, of course," was the reply. "Does not Cornell buy his iron from Carnegie?" The reporter reminded Mr. McAndrews that Mr. Cornell had declared that the Iron League was not opposed to organized labor, and that its action in locking out the house smiths was taken simply as a defense of one of the firms in the League the Jackson Architectural Iron Works which he sai d had been unjustly boycotted. Mr. Mc Andrews smiled at this, aqd intimated that he thought a good deal of salt should b6 used with Mr. Cornell's statement. "What do you think of the plan of the Iron League to form a supply company to furnish with material the contractors whose supply of bricks, cement, eta, has been cut off by the strikes ordered by your assembly district?" was asked. "I don't think the plan will succeed," was the answer. "In fact, it has been frus trated thus far." When told that not more than SO house smiths are now locEed out, Mr. McAndrews admitted that the number was even less than that "Ther, if the lockout is virtually ended, as you admit, what cause have the labor unions to pursue the fight?" asked the re porter. The only answer was a knowingsmile and an intimation that, although he wasnot pre pared to state the cause, the iron men would learn it in time. Mr. McAndrews added that before the fight was finished the Cor nells would learn something about organ ized labor that they did not know before. BED CLOUD'S SCALP INJUBBD.

DRIVEN AWAT TE0H BOUND LAKE Upon Confessing That Ha Was Guilty of Peculiar Practices AT THE BETHANT HOME IS PITTSBUEa IPPZCIAZ. TH.ZGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.t Round Lake, N. Y., July 6. "Rev." George Morrow has been a somewhat promi nent speaker at the Christian Alliance meetings here this season, and last year ha was very pronounced in his idea that all bodily ills should be left to the Lord to heal, and went beyond the general Alliance view in his opinions on this subject It had been supposed that he had a church of some sort in Pittsbure, but it is now stated that he merely kept a sort of class with a faith cure establishment, the Bethany Home, in the Gas City. , The story further goes that he was ac cused of scandalous practices under his in terpretation of his peculiar creed. At any rate, Major Chamberlin, who is the manager of the Alliance meetings, received a letter recently detailing a series of the grossest immoralities on the part of this Morrow, and warning the Alliance that he should not be allowed in such a com munity as Round Lake. The major promptly called Morrow to an explanation, and was astounded to find that Morrow admitted everything stated, and declared that in all these actions he was acting under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost The major thereupon told him that his absence was very desirable, and the earlier the better. Morrow's wife has been with him during the convention, and took her departure with him, apparently not caring or else not knowing about the occasion of his sudden leaving. Morrow was a pronouncedly unwholesome looking object, bald, sliagcy-bearded. sickly-looking as to frame, and lacking in all the gitts that make a popular preacher. Maryland Has a Fierce Storm.
