Nrw York, July 16.
Chairman, ex-Congressman Thomas Henry
Carter, of Montana.
Vice Chairman, Michael H. De Young, of
California.
Treasurer, Cornelius X. Bliss, of New
York.
Temporary Secretary, James F. Burke, of
Pennsylvania. .
Executive Committee, J. S. Clarkson, of
Iowa; Garrett A. Hobart, of New Jersey;
Joseph H. Manley, of Maine; Samuel Fessen
den, of Connecticut; Henry C Payne, of
"Wisconsin; Richard a Kerens, of Missouri;
"William O. Bradley, or Kentucky; 'William
A. Sutherland, or Sew York; John R. Tan
Cer, or Illinois; TV. J. Campbell, of Illinois.
These are the generals and captains of the
Republican forces who are to run President
Harrison's campaign for re-election. They
will be aided by the President bimself.
The difficulty in getting a chairman to
rucceed "W. J. Campbell has become nemo
orable in the history of political campaigns.
It has taken exactly 32 days to hnd a man
to 11 the place of James S. Clarkion, -whom
the President did not desire to retain as
Chnirman after his sturdy opposition at
Minneapolis to the President's renomina
tion. Neither did General Clarkson desire
to remain at the helm. In the 32 davs the
chairmanship was offered to 18 solid Repub
licans. All declined it on the ground that
its arduous duties would interfere with their
business interests.
An All-Day Hunt for a Trader.
The situation on the arrival of the'Execu-
tive Committee at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
last night and this morning, preparatory to
the final hunt for a Chairman, was regarded
even by the President's friends as mortify
ing. The hunt was continued all day to
day, and just before sundown Mr. Carter,
Tho holds a Federal office under the Presi
dent, was prevailed upon to accept the
place. He is the President's Land Office
Commissioner at Washington at 6,000 a
year. He will immediately relinquish the
office.
Mr. Carter also foregoes the prospect of
becoming the next United States Senator
from Montana. He was secretary of the
new National Committee selected at Minne
apolis, and he could attend to its duties
beside entering into his subsoil contract to
corral the United States Senatorship for
himself, but the duties of chairman of the
committee are so exacting and laborious
and confining that he will not have time to
think much of his own political future,
Mr. 31 aee May Be Secretary.
The Executive Committee appointed a
temporary secretary in his place, but gave
liim the privilege of selecting at his leisure
his own man for secretary. It is believed
that either ex-Representative McComas, of
Maryland; C. L. Magee, of Pittsburg, or
"William O. Bradley, of Kentucky, may be
prevailed upon to accept the secretary's
place. Meanwhile James P. Burke, Presi
dent of the National Republican College
Leajue, wili perform the duties.
As a personal honor to "V. J. Campbell,
who resigned to-day, lie was made a iull
fiedged men.ber of the Executive Commit
tee. This makes two committeemen from
Illinois, an unusual distinction to be given
to one State.
An Advisory Committee, to be named in
the immediate future by Chairman Carter,
is also to assist the committee. The com
mittee adjourned its meeting at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel to meet again Monday, in
the fame place at 1 o'clock. Then a sub
committee v ill select a house for a bead
quarters in Xew York.
"When Henry C Paine, of "Wisconsin,
went to bed after midnight, last night, he
had been told that President Harrison
wanted him to be Chairman of the com
mittee. "H by r.ijno Totildn't Take tlio Job.
Mr. Payne hadn't any political ambitions
to stand in the way of his taking the place,
but he had declined to honor the President's
draft upon him or to regard the wishes of
hi1; old political mentor, Uncle Philetus
Sawyer, until he could satisfy himself that
he could afford to neglect for four months
business interests in which 510,000,000 are
invested. In fact, he had promised his as
sociates in his surface car enterprises in
Milwaukee that he would give hi constant
attention to them. He decided this raorn
sng that he could not honorably escape the
restrictions upon him, and his decision was
soon known in the corridors of the hotel.
Senator Sawyer was keenly disappointed.
The corridors were fillingup with Repub
licans of high and low degree. Secretary
Jerry Rusk, of the Agricultural Bureau,
Senator Hiscock, Russell B. Harrison ana
Secretary Tracy were disturbed over the re-fus-il
of Payne.
Joseph H. Manley, of Maine, was ap
pealed to. He flatly refused the job. He
is postmaster of Augusta, and that's enough
for him at present. Samuel Fessenden was
again approached and acain he put the ofier
from him. Garrett Hobart, of New Jersey,
is in Eurone, and was represented by "Will
iam Bettle. Mr. Bettle was importuned to
ascertain if Mr. Hobart wouldn't take it.
'o; Mr. Hobart was to bs in Europe most
of the summer and early fall.

and the President wanted Mr. Bliss' just
where he was.
This was the situation when, at noon, the
the committeemen assembled in parlor D-R.
Uncle Jerry Rusk and Young Harrison re
mained down stairs in the telecraph office,
keeping the wires to "Washington hot with
the troublesome affair.
All of the committee men but Mr. Ho
bart and Mr. Bradley were present when
Secretary Carter called the little gathering
to order, and Mr. Bettle and Joseph A.
Sparks represented the absentees. At the
suggestion of General Clarkson Mr. Suther
land was made Temporary Chairman, but
there was nothing to be done. The wheels
were blocked. Nobody knew anybody who
would take the chairmanship, and the
principal duty of the little congregation
was to name the Chairman.
The committeemen were looking each
other in the face and wondering what in the
world they were to do next, when in walked
"Whitelaw Beid. He was invited to speak,
and he did so most earnestly. It had been
whispered about that the committee would
adjourn over to next week. He begged
that no such step be taken. He insisted
that the Chairman should be named "to
day," and he uttered "(o-day" most em
phatically. He declared that all schisms
should be healed. The Republicans should
get together, "When united they were never
defeated.
A Recess Taken to Fix Thine Up.
Mr. Reid was well received, but the com
mittee was still in its predicament The
President's friends had all backed out, and
they had no candidate, as they were un
aware who next would be pitched upon by
the President
It was finally decided to adjourn to 3
o'clock in the afternoon. This gave Mr.
Husk, Mr. Tracy and young Mr. Harrison
an opportunity to send more telegrams to
the "White House.
Most of the committeemen went over to
Delmonico's for lunch. In the meantime
a report was circulated that the President
had wired General Clarkson asking him to
accept the place. General Clarkson denied
the story.
Among the committeemen who lunched
at Delmonico's was Secretary Carter. He
understood the situation, but tor fear he
shouldn't he was told that he was the only
man who could end the trouble.
He again declined. It was then
decided to make a dead set
for Uncle Philetus Sawyer. His
two "boys," Spooner and Payne, had
refused, and he was vexed enough to spank
them. The boys are only 100 years old,
both together, but they turned on Uncle
Philetus. They got the old man iu a corner
and insisted that he would make the best
chairman the party had ever had. He
grinned and smoked and wriggled and inti
mated that they might go to blazes. In
fact, he told them to go. They wouldn't,
but kept badgering him to accede to their
earnest wishes.
Carter Chosen by Acclamation.
By this time it was nearly i o'clock and
word had come that Mr. Carter must take
the place. As a Federal officeholder and
under obligation to the administration, he
must take it Uncle Jerry Rusk and young
Harrison, out in the main corridor, were
pleased over this turn in the situation.
"When the committee reconvened, at 4
o'clock, Mr. Manley suggested that they
proceed to elect a chairman. General
Clarkson nominated Mr. Carter, saying
there was no better man in the Republican
party to lead the committee. The nomina
tion "was seconded by Mr. Payne, and there
being no other nominations, Mr. Carter's
selection was made unanimous.
Mr. Sutherland, before leaving the chair,
said that the committee m anted a man to
unite all factions, and he expected Carter to
do this. Looking fixedly at him, Mr. Suth
erland said to Mr. Carter: "Is it your pleas
ure to take this place?"
"It is." replied Carter, and he clambered
to the little platform and was in the saddle.
Thomas H. Carter, the newly-elected
chairman, is but 38 years old, having been
bora in June Furnace, Scioto count v, O., in
1854. In 18G3 he moved to Peoria, HI.,
where he lived until 187S, when ho moved
to Burlington, la. He studied law iu
Louisville, Ky., and Illinois, being ad
mitted to the bar in Nebraska. In 1882 he
moved to Helena, Mont., which is now his
home. He was elected Territorial delegate
to the Fifty-first Congress, and on the ad
mission of .Montana as a State, in Novem
ber, 1889, was elected to Congress as its first
Representative. In March, 1891, he was
appointed by President Harrison as United
States Land Commissioner
Chnirman Carter Slakes a Speech.
Mr. Campbell was formally re-elected a
member of the Executive Committee. Mr.
Carter resigned the secretaryship and for
mally acknowledging the honor of his elec
tion as Chairman, said:
Gentlemen of tbe National Committed
To plead Insensibility to the great trust
which you have Just conlerred to my care
ltould bo to cast a reflection upon your Judg
ment, collectively and apparently. As your
worthy presiding officer, Mr. Sutherland, has
w ell s.i'd, this is a task of graat magnitude,
a battle amounting to little less than a hind-to-band
struxle with lorccs fully organized
tocrasp the powers orgoverninont from the
Republican paity. Wu liavo passed In the
history or the world beyond tnc time when
men hat e overthrown governments for the
sake of power, but the distance between tho
time or that passage and the mesentis not
very great.
The tact that the straggle does not involve
li!o mid death is only a mitigation ot tho se
verity or tho Contest upon which we aio
bout to enter.
From these suggestions it may oe Inferred j
- J
CHAPLAIN JOHN L.

that I anpreciate, in somo degree at least,
the nature of tbe responsibility at hand and
tho character of the effort necessary to be
put forth. I would shi ink from tho task as
a hopeless struggle, were it not for tbe fact
thru about the Chairman of this committee
primarily will be 12 shiewd, intelligent and
capable members of the committee itself,
while supporting this organization, known
.as the Executive Committee, will be closed
tbo national organization, representing
every State and leiritory. In addition to
this, the League or Clubs and other aftgies
sivo forces, supplemented to tlio different
State organizations of the party, and then
tbe county and district organizations, with
the people behind them, will make up, all In
all, a mighty force of earnest, sinceie men,
actuated by lofty motives and desirous or
perpetuatinrr in their puiity the principles
or the Republican party.
A Great Task, lint Lots of Help.
"While the task to he performed Is great,
ouraggieeation of working leaders whose
heaits and souls are with the Republican
paity gives courage and strength and con
fidence to all. This committee will have
perfected its oig'inization beforo its final
adjournment to-day. Relying as we do
upon tho intelligence and patriotism of the
American pconle, we can, supported by an
earnest efroi t, confidently expect to meet
witn ueservea viotory in .NovemDor.
I can but promise to each and all tbe
members of this committee, and the greater
body of the Republican party whom you
represent, an earnest, tireless effort to prove
gentlemen, for the honor youhavebestowed
upon me. (Applause.)
Mr. Fessenden's suggestion that an Ad
visory Committee of five be appointed to aid
the executive committee was accepted, and
Chairman Carter will shortly appoint the
five, but not nntil he has consulted with
the President. It was on Mr. Payne's
motion, then made, that Mr. Carter was
empowered to appoint the permanent secre
tary of the committee.
"When Mr. Carter was asked if the ac
ceptance of the chairmanship entailed the
resignation of his position in tbe Land
Office, he replied: "I shall resign, at all
events."
MR. CARTER SERENADED.
The New Chairman bpeaks to Two Repub

Surly In the Campaign Rusk's Prom
ises of Good XV eather.
New York, July 10. The new Chairman
of the Nationa Republican Committee was
this evening the recipient of numerous con
gratulatory messages from prominent Re
publicans all over the country. To-night
Mr. Carter was brought to a further appre
ciation of the honor conferred upon him by
an imbromptu serenade at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. The Lincoln Club, of New York,
and the Pioneer Club, of the Third Assem
bly district, in resplendent uniforms and
headed by their bands, marched to the hotel
at 9 o'clock, and after a brilliant display of
fireworks and music by the hands, made
loud calls for the National Committee.
The appearance of the Executive Com
mittee on tlie balcony was the signal for
prolonged cheers. In a few well chosen
words, President L. L. "Van Allen, of the
Lincoln Club, introduced Chairman Carter,
of the National Committee, and after the
cheers of welcome, the latter spoke as fol
lows: Mr. Chairman and members of tho Lincoln
Republican Club and of the Lincoln Pioneer
Club: In bebalt ot the National Republican
Committee I desire to extend to you sincere
thanks for the manifestation of your good
will. Applause. In the presence of the
name of Lincoln upon a banner any patri
otic citizen of this great nation, affoided an
opportunity, may well feel inspired to speak
at length concerning the immortal princi-
files consecrated by his life's best blood.
Cheers.
The time, however, has not arrived, nor
docs the National Committee constitute the
body, to discuss in detail the gieat issues of
the campaign from the pnblio rostrum. I
cannot, however, forego an expression of
appreciation of the zeal and fidelity dis
played by this magnificent audience of the
citizens of New York for the principles of
the Grand Old Party. Great applause.
It is fitting and proper in the midst ot this,
the imperial city of the continent, on the
battle ground or tho campaign, that Repub
licans, regardless or previous expressions of
personal preferences, should here to-night
stanu snouiueno snouiuenn me support
of the ticket which has our eminent Presi
dent, Benjamin Uarrison,at the head cheers
and your own noble, loyal and brainy
citizen, Whitelaw Reid, in second place.
Prolonged applause. Again, my fellow
citizens, in behalf of the committee I thank
you for this cordial and whole-soulded re
ception to the Executive Committee here
assembled to-night, and wishing you good
cheer throughout tbe campaign, I bid you
good night Cheers.
Hon. Jeremiah Rusk, Secretary of Agri
culture, was next introduced, and, after re
ceiving three cheers, spoke as follows:
Fellow citizens, fellow Republicans, and
fellow farmers lauehtei I am slad to
meet yon to-night and greet you and thank
you for this honor of being pieseuted hero
this evening. Tbe gentleman who presented
me agreed tuat I should not make any speech,
and said that I would como forward and
agree, during the whole, entire campaign, to
give you cood weather that would bo satis
factory. Laughter and applause. Now,l
want to tell you that, if it is iu my power. I
will drown the Democrats this fall. Tu
multuous laughter. I will also allow Re
publicans to be in the snnshino or this great
American people. Applause. With these
remarks and a "God bless you1' In the cam
paign. I bid you goodnight. Cheers.
After a few more informal speeches the
meeting was dismissed.

WIRES WORKED WITHOUT BATTERIES
Though but few people enjoyed the
sight, an aurora borealis of wonderful
beauty was visible in the North last night
from 10:30 to nearly 11 o'clock. Before
that time strange waves of light were seen
in the heavens, which were not understood
nntil the fuller magnificence of the display
became visible.
Downtown it could not well be seen, for
the lights of the city spoiled the view, but
as seen from the north tower of the Gov
ernment building it was a spectacle never to
be forgotten. On the north was what at
first appeared a dark bank of clouds with a
pure iihite light behind. A closer
search showed there were great rings or
belts, three in all, that spanned tbe horizon
from cast to west, while in between could
be seen the twinkling stars. Above the sky
was cloudless, and from the high lookout
each of the myriad stars was clear cut and
distinct
At first waves of light now and again
shot swiftly up, trembled like ripples2io.-a
pool of water an'aflhen disappeared. They
were of purest white and so brilliant that
they dimmed the stars. They looked as the
light of a dark lantern flashing against the
sky.
ShaHs Dimmed tbe North Star.
Then the lights at the horizon deepened
and directly shafts of light almost
reached the zenith. Suddenly one of
enormous brilliancy shot up directly over
the north star and was so brilliant that
this great luminary faded out as it had been
day. This shaft reached the dome of
heaven and remaihded stationary. Another
.arose from behind and more were seen to
the east and west.
Then came the grand transformation.
There was first an indication of the glories
of a sunset. The great dark belts were
lighted up and from behind came lights
whose brilliancy can only be imagined. The
rings were tiansformed into glowing bands
of red and green and a thousand shafts of
white light shot upward, while between
could be seen the deep blue of the heavens
and the twinkling stars.
The lights at "the base were constantly
changing. The bands of brilliancy were
like search lights of enormous power, and
stretched away on the northeast to tbe
Great Dipper on the west At the
horizon the lights were constantly
changing. Above there was pale pink that
changed to pale blue, which deepened at the
base to the most delicate tints of yellow and
red, which were finally lost in a vast sea ot
deepest green. The rapidly changing col
ors threw their tints over the heavens, mak
ing a scene that was indescribably beautiful.
Ihs Wane of a Gorgeous tpcctacle.
Just before 11 o'clock it began to grow
paler and the great shalts of light moved to
tne W est until tuey were lust uuer crossing
the Great Dipper. Then the lights
at the base laded until only the
faint light at the north was visible. The
only thing that marred the scene was the
great cloud that hung low in the northwest
and obscured a part of the vision. In the
east there were a few small clouds, bnt they
looked like islands in a sea of brilliancy.
Telegraph men say it was the greates t
electrical storm they have experienced in
ten years. In the afternoon it was so pio
nounced that the Associated Press opera
tors had to cut of! the batteries and tele
graphed with the electricity in the atmos
phere. The correspondent of The Dispatch at
New York sent the following: The elec
trical rose of the Arctic blos;omed again in
the northern sky to-night It lacked the
variegated hues that delighted tbe town last
spring, but it was more potent as a dis
turber of telegraph communication. It
first appeared about 10:45 o'clook, a mere
incandescent bud. Then its petals began to
nnfold and flutter, until the northern hori
zon was a, quivering mass of vivid green.
Like a Banner ot Changeable Silk.
A salesman in a drygood store who
viewed the exhibition remarked that it
looked Tery much as if an Arctio giant were
shaking a changeable green silk over the
crystalline bargain counter of Jack
Frost's fancy goods emporium.
An Irish patriot said it was
more like the banner of the Emerald Isle
flung across the heaven. The managers of
the telegraph companies didn't have any
fancy figures of speech to describe the dis
play, but they thought about it a good deal.
It played the deuce with the "Western lines.
For one whole hour the operators could do
practically nothing.
No aurora had ever before caused so much
trouble in the big office ot the "Western
Union. All messiges were received sub
ject to delay. In the day time there was
nearly as much difficulty in operating the
lines to the East The assistant manager of
the operating room said that the electrical
disturbance was unusual, and if it had been
dark there would have been a fine show in
the iky. a

Says Mrs. Harrison Is Not 111 of Con

President Harrison, accompanied by Pri
vate Secretary Halford, arrived here this
evening, at 9:13, in a special train. The
train was switched oil at the Deleware Bay
Railroad, at the Cape May Junction, where
General Sewell met the two and accom
panied them to Cape May Point, at which
place they were escorted to.the summer "White
House by Russell Harrison and wife. The
President said to The Dispatch corres
pondent that he had received a message this
afternoon that Mrs. Harrison was much
better. The President will remain until
Monday.
A telegram from "Washington says: To
day Private Secretary Halford was" shown
the "Washington dispatch in a Philadel
phia paper to the eflect that Mrs. Harrison
is dying of "quick consumption," and that
her friends have abandoned hope of her re
covery. He said the report was cruel, and
contrary to all information received from
.the attending physicians and others who
are now with Mrs. Harrison.. The Presi
dent received reports from Loon Lake
every day from Dr. Gardner and the rel
sitires with his wife, and tbev were all of a
tvorableand encouraging character.
-Ltie x-resiaent will join Mrs. Harrison iu

with his original plans, and is in nowise
due to any unfavorable change in Mrs. Har

left here this afternoon for Cape May is in
itself very positive evidence that Mrs. Har

Tin-Bearing Lodes Traced for Long Dis
tances Increasing the Deeper They Go.
Los Angeles, July 16. The Evening
Express has interviewed Gervaise Purcell, a
civil engineer and financial agent of the
company working the Temescal tin mines,
in relation to the statements that the mines
are exhausted and a failure. He emphati
cally declares that so far from being ex
hausted tbe mines are in the infancy of de
velopment There are 150 men at work
and new machinery has just been ordered.
Shipments of tin ore are made by carloads,
and the output of the mines in Jnne was
double that of May.
Purcell says the company owns a tract
embracing many thousands of acres, in
which a large number of tin-bearing lodes
have been traced for long distances on the
surface. What those yet unexplored
amounts to is problematical, but, judging
by the results of explorations and develop
ments already made, the mines being
worked may be regarded as practically in
exhanstible. The ore is twice as rich as
some of the best mines in Cornwall, and the
veins worked are widening as depth is
gained. They have every indication of
being of true fissure character, and Purcell
says be has no doubt of their permanence.
EIGHT DIVORCES IN 52 MINUTES.

Chicago, July 16. Special Judge
Vail has broken the record for fast running
in the divorce courts. In S2 minutes, this
morning, he severed the matrimonial bonds
for eight couples, an average pt one divorce
for each 6 and a fraction minutes. Mrs.
Alice E. Pharis was married November,

wife of the Assistant General Freight
Agent of the Burlington, had secured her
release, and at 10:58 Joseph Cerusk was
freed from his wife, Josephine.
At 11:03 Mrs. Adelaide Louder said her
hubby was unfaithful, and was freed. At
11:11 Mrs. Annie Minkler stated her case
successfully, and at 11:16 "Warren J. Losey
told how his spouse had deserted him. At
11:23 Henry Steinbacher took the stand and
left it happy, and at 11:30 Mrs. Henrietta

THE FOREARM OF A SAINT
To Be Placed on Exhibition in a New Torlc
Catholie Church m a Relic.
New York, July 16. Father Tctreau,
pastor of the Church of St Jeane Baptisie,
has received safely a reputed relic of St
Agnes. It was brought to this country
from Quebec by Monsignor Marquis, and it
will be exposed to public view for the first
time in this city to-morrow. The relio is
2yi inches in length, and is said to be a por
tion of the forearm of the saint It will be
on publio view for nine days at night, but
the time will probably be extended.
This is the second relic of St Agnes
shown in this city. The other one was
shown last May, and was exhibited for 20
days, netting the owners some 120,000
from the 250,000 votaries who visited the
shrine in St Jeane Baptist Church. It is
not known where the permanent home of
the relio will be, but it will be somewhere
in the olty.

HUNTING CHICKFNS TO EAT TO-DAY
Camp Sam Black was as quiet yesterday
as though tbe regular army had possessed it
Only the regulation drills and parades dis

were of a routine, uninteresting order.
Military discipline was enforced more
rigidly than on any previous day, and a
great majority of the officers devoted their
time to entertaining the army of pretty
girls who called, and seemed to spend most
of the day in close touch with the blue
coat and brass buttons.
The encampment was prettier yesterday
than usual. The whole place had been
thoroughly policed, and the ladies in their
bright colors gave to the place; a more cheer
ful appearance.

Son of the Pathfinder.
Among General Gobjn's visitors was
Lfeutenant John C f'reemont, of the
cruiser Philadelphia. Lieutenant Free
mont is a son of the famous
pathfinder. He has been in the United
States navy for years and he seemed to be
overwhelmed with delight at the condition
ot military affairs in the camp. The Lieu
tenant was a member of the commission
that lately revised the military tactics un
der which tne National uuara ot tmsatate
is operating, and he visited camp to see the
practical operation of his work. He is de
cidedly favorable to the new system of tac
tics and be is confident the guard of the
State will be satisfied with them on better
acquaintance. General Gobin, who is an
old soldier, and a good one, is not entirely
content with the new tactics. He be
lieves the old system was preferable and he
and Lieutenant Freemont discussed the sub
ject for over an hour yesterday. Neither
would be convinced of the other's argument,
however, and they separated with the dis
tinct understanding that they should meet
again before tbe encampment closed to dis
cuss still further the subject that is some
what technical.
Slloks Up ror the Old Tactic..
General Gobin contends that the system
of tactics used during the war was better
than any ever produced. "I don't like
your tactics," General Gobin said to Lieu
tenant Freemont. "I have experienced five
changes in the system since the war. Each
change takes us further away from the
original plan, which I have always con
sidered to be the best."
Captain J. H. Hurst, of the Fourth In
fantry United States Army, was amojig the
callers at General "Wiley's headquarters.
The Captain has grown gray in the regular
army and he was enthusiastic in his praise
ot Pennsylvania s citizen soldiers. "1 have
been at several annual encampments in this
State," Captain Hurst said, "but this one I
think looks more like business than any
one I have ever seen. I think Pennsyl
vania's troops are the finest in the country."
Both Captain Hurst and Lieutenant Free
mont called at general headquarters, but
General Snowden was absent on duty.
Lieutenant Brown, of Battery B, enter
tained the visitors tor a time. The Battery
surrounds the general headquarters anil
Lieutenant Brown looks after all who visit
that particular section of the encampment
Trying to Borrow a Chap'aln.
Lieutenant Brown, last night for the first
time discovered that the absence of a chap
lain from his command threatened to em
barrass him. General Snowden incidentally
remarked that he would attend the Siintl.iv
services held nearest his quarters. The Bat
tery would hare enjoyed his distinguished
Presence had they provided a chr.plaui, :iud
ieutenant Brown spent an hour iu the
evening endeavoring to borrow one from
some other command. lie whs not success
ful, and, as a result, the Battery must get
through the lines to some other serwee or
else go without spiritual food to-day.
The military chaplains arc n peculi.ir lot
ot gentlemen. Every regiment iu the two
brigades has a minister with them m ramp,
and while they frequently hear careless n-
marks tney seem to become suddenly and
emphatically deaf when the worldly soldier
assumes to express himself with more em
phasis than discretion. Some of the chap
lains are good soldiers, too. Souir of them
have in their day seen active service, and
not a few ot them pride themselves on being
able to shoot just as weil as they cm preacli.
The 1'araon of the Tenth.
Ber. Joseph Hunter, "the Parson-," as
the boys call him, of the Tentii Regiment,
is the envy ol all the other fighting parsons
in the militia. Mr. Hnnterhas been in the
guard for nine years. He haj won a marks
man's badge, and he has also won two sharp
shooter bars. The chaplain ot the Fifth
Regiment was qualified as a marksman, but
his manly breast is not decorated with sharp
shooter bars. Theso are tho only chaplains
i$ljNkJi. .!
who have qualified for active service save
in the pulpit
Besides being a good marksman Rev. Mr.
Hunter is an entertaining preacher. He is
a young man and wears gold-rimmed eye
glasses. He is at present pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Faircjhance, Pa.
He spent yesterday hunting spring chick
ens for to-day's dinner, and at last accounts
he had only been able to find a dozen small
ones. He announced to his fellow officers
last night that he would" have chicken for
Sunday dinner if the colored cook had to
be engaged to.heip procure them.
Little Sickness In the Camps.
In the Second Brigade ten men were ex
cused from duty yesterdav on account of
sickness. In the Third Brigade only five
men were excused on the same account
None of the cases were serious, however.
"With the exception of Captain Little the
Eighteenth Regiment boys are in wonder
fully good health. They are working hard.
They are directly under the eye of the
Brigade headquarters and they are kept
moving constantly, jnsf to show
their skill as active soldiers.
The Fourteenth Regiment boys are also in
good health. Yesterday Lieutenant Hull, of
B Company, was qfficef of the guard. He was
kept rather busy looking after the camp,
but he did not lose his temper until even
ing when tbe regiment was passing to the
parade ground. Two of the company cap
tains then failed to salute the guard, and
Lieutenant Hull demanded the recognition
required. He received it when the regi
ment returned to camp, and he retired llut
night content with his hard day's wort v
A large crowd of yisitors is" expected in
camp to-day. The boys say they will be
delighted to entertain all who come.
THE EIGHTH REGIMENT'S EVENT.
It Meets an .Enemy in Tery Jagged Barb
Hira Fence.
A company of tbe Eighth Regiment was
called out night before last to do scout duty
on the hill opposite' headquarters. It was
not the most agreeable assignment, as the
rain was coming down in torrents, each
drop the size of, a marble. "While the boys
were standing in the deluge waiting for the
order to move not one complaint was heard,
only one man ventured to speak out, and he
only remarked: "Sort of romantic, isn't
it?"
The only obstacle they encountered on
their scout was a barb wire fence which at
tacked in a ripping fashion their uniforms.
Most of the boys spent the greater part of
yesterday repairing their garments. The
result of the expedition was the plac
ing of guards at the month of the tunnel in
the ravine, who all night long combated
with a fierce torrent of mud and water,
which was pouring through it, and yester
day a station was also established on the
opposite side of the ravine from head
quarters. Every vantage point is now
occupied and fully guarded.

Stagnation. This single word eloquently
expresses the general condition of affairs in
and about Homestead yesterday. It wu a
stale, flat and altogether profitless day to,
both the mill men in tbe village and the
blue-coated troops quartered on the big
Carnegie Hill. The Advisory Committee
did little or nothing all day, while
the rank and file of the strikers put in the
best part ot their time in reading and com
menting on the official notice of the com
pany which adorned the outer walls of .the
mills. The early evening train brought in
a number of curious visitors from Pitts
burg and neighboring towns, bnt aside from
a few squads of soldiers, they saw abso
lutely nothing.
The leading members of the Advisory
Committee went to Duquesne on the T
o'clock train last evening to attend the big
mass meeting of the Duquesne mill men.
The meeting was held in the big skating
rink and was largely attended. H. K.
Thompson presided. Strong speechess were
made by "W. T. Robinson, Burgess Mc
Luckie, "Dave" Lynch and Hugh
O'DonnelL There was a deal of
enthusiasm manifest, but no actual
business transacted, as the meeting ad
journed immediately after the speech mak
intr. Another meeting of the Duquesne
workmen will be held in the Duquesne
'iVove at 2 o'click this afternoon. O'Donnell
anhis associates returned to Homestead in
a jnnnt frame of mind. They are con
fident tu-the Duquesne men are ready to
come o "Moment's notice.

work sf repairing the deserted mills ""
Homestead will be officially begun
"Whether or not this attemDt on the part of
the company to put the plant into proper
shape will provoke any demonstration oa
the part of the locked-ont men time alone
can tell, but from present appearances
there will be no outbreak. At least the
members of the Advisory Committee affirm
that all will be peace and harmony, and
laugh at the idea that either the committee
or the men have any idea of raising an open
conflict with the militia by committing an
overt act
The last lingering doubt about the pres
ence of non-union men in tbe mills was dis
sipated yesterday afternoon. There are at
this moment between 50 and 75 workmen
domiciled in the mills, and, judging from
the quantity of provisions and the number
of cots stored in the yards, there are ac
commodations for over 200 more.
Two companies of infantry are scattered
about tbe yards, and a triple line of pickets
is stationed just outside tbe fences. There
was a story circulating through Home
stead's streets last night a story, by the
way, which came from a pretty reliable
source to tbe effect that agents of the Car
negie company bad determined to induce
some of the old meji to return to worknnder
the promise of protection and satisfactory
pay.
Men Asked to Return to "Work.
Be this true or otherwise, the locked-out
men bave been invited to return to work.
Yesterday morning's mail brought to every
one of the men formerly employed in the
mechanical and laboring departments a copy
of the appended note: "-,
Tbe Carnegie Steel Company, Limited:
Homestead, Pa., July 13, 1893.
Dear Sir Repairs will be resumed on Mon
day morning, July IS, ISM. We Invito you to
return to your old position, work to com- ,
mence at the usual time. Respectfully,
J. A. Fottjsr, General Office.
The men received this communication
and for the most part made no comment
Some of their leaders interpreted their elo
quent silence as a positive sign that the
rank and file still remained firm, and would,
under no cirenmstances, return to the mills.
Others of the leading spirits said that their
silence was ominout, and that to their
mind it indicated that many of tbe me
chanics "and laborers were wavering, and
were apt to "surrender at any moment"
The Ijwt Chance to Get Back.
Along in the middle of the afternoon a
squad of billposters armed with paste poti
.made a tour of the borongh and adorned the
dead walls and fences with big white post
ers, upon which were printed these words:
