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.

cial. The people of the town of Elznlu,
this State, have been terrorized for the past
three months by a band of brigands under
the leadership of Martial Casillas, one of
the most desperate men in Mexico. They
have committed many murders and
robberies. A few days ago they made one
of their raids into Elzulu and got away
with a large amont of merchandise, killing
Jose Loza, a prominent citizen. A large
posse of indignant citizens was organized
and went in pursuit of the bandits, who
sought refuge in the mountains.
Late Saturday evening the rendezvous of
Casillas and his men was found, and an at
tempt was made to capture them. Desper
ate resistance was made. Two ot the bandits

after being tortured, he was shot to death.
He divulged the hiding place of a large
amount of plunder.
A SNAKE AS A WEAPON.
An Enraged Arkanxaw Man Throws a
Rattler at an Opponent.
Pixe Bluff, Auk., July 5. A novel
snake affair occurred this morning. A man
named J. R. De Garmo, who lives below the
city some 30 miles, jarrived in town last
night, and this morning went to several
saloons to sell a rattlesnake as a curiousity.
The snake and five large rats were in his
valise. Nobody would buy the snake and
this enraged De Garmo, who insulted sev
eral men in the Metropolitan Hotel. A
general fight ensued.
De Garmo in the meantime opened his
valise, seized the snake and threw it at a
man named Robert Watkins, and the snake
bit him. In the meantime the fight went
on until the arrival of the police, who
arrested De Garmo. Somebody in the
meantime killed the snake, and De Garmo
was lodged in jail, and Watkins was tanked
up full of whisky and removed to his home,
where it is Eaid he is in a dangerous con

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.

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

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.
Three Texas Desperadoes Killed in a Dnel
in a llarroom.
Amarillo, Tex., July 5. Special
In an affray in a barroom at Clarendon, last
night, three men were killed. Two men,
Greenland Bell, notorious Texas desperadoes,
met in the barroom about 9 o'clock,
and without wasting any words proceeded
to settle an old grudge. The men pulled
their guns and opened fire simultaneously.
Five shots were exchanged, and when the
smoke ot battle cleared away both despera
does were found dead upon the floor, while
Deputy Inspector Banjamin Grissom, of this
place, who was in the saloon at the

CHARGED TO CARNEGIE.
The Locked-Out Honsesmlths in New lork
Bay tba Iron King Acta in Concert With
th- Iron league An Understanding Is
Alleged.
New Yobk, July 5.-Speeia. "Presi
dent J. M. 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.

Upon Confessing That Ha Was Guilty of
Peculiar Practices

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.
