Traders to Face in the
Coming Campaign.

"Washington', July 16. The commerce
of the United States with other nations
under the McKinley tariff law is not likely
to be an object of attack by Democratic iree
trade orators during the coming campaign.
Figures can be made to lie, but the figures
prepared by the Bureau of Statistics of the
Treasury Department hare always been ac
cepted by the disputants of both parties as
unquestionably accurate.
Tnc data for comparative statements of
the foreign trade ot the United States dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892,
have jutt been finished as to totals by the
Treasury Department. I am able to give
these totals at least a week in advance of
their othcial publication. I can emphasize,
however, the statement that these figures
are not estimated, hut are absolutely veri
fied, and are given us by the lull authority
ol tnecniei oi uie xjureauui oiausucs oi me
Treasury Department. Unlike most figures,
these are eloquent. They afford a vindica
tion of the McKinley" tariff which will
undoubtedly cause some strong protection
speeches in'Congress next week, which the
auti-protectionist railers against what they
call high taxes and the imbecility ot the
American citizen to buy the products of
other nations will be unable to answer.
ngnrs to Knock Out Iree Traders.
Here are the figures in which the free
traders will certainly find their Waterloo in
the Presidental campaign: For the first
time in the history ot the United States
the value of its exports is ?1,030,33j,G2G.
This shows an enormous increase over the
exports for the same period of last year of
?14r,845,816. The imports exceeded the ex
ports by the magnificent sum, representing
the balance oi trade in our iavor, of 202,
844,312. The total sum of our foreign trade, in
cluding imports and exports, reaches the
amazing figure, S1,Sj7,72G,910; of the impor
tations the value of those tree ot duty for
the fiscal vear ending June 30, 1892, was
545S,001,145, while the value of the dutiable
articles was 5309,390,139.
These figures speak for themselves, but
figures ol even more eloquence in favor of
high protection are the following: The per
centage of value of imports free of dutv
compared with those dutiable lor the last
fiscal year was 55.83. It is only necessary
to compare this with the same percentage
lor previous years to show the beneficial
effect ol the McKinley tariff.
Ihe Imports Free From Duty.
The percentage of imports free from dutv
was in 1891 only 39.15; in 1890, 34.19, and in
1889, 34.81. This, of course, shows that
under what free traders called the enormous
taxes of the McKinley tariff act the Amer
ican citizen, whether laborer or capitalist,
is now actually availing himself of a larger
foreign market than ever before, while at
the same time the balance of trade is so
enornionsly in his iavor as to reach the im
pressive figure in a single year of ?202,014,
342. But overwhelming as these figures will
be to the free traders, even more unanswer
able will prove the astounding statement
that the actual ad valorem percentage of
duliec collected on the total imports into
the United States during the fiscal year just
closed was 20.65. Just compare this with
the same percentage lor 3891, which was
28.60, for 1890, which was 28.92, and for
1889, which was 29.09, and any intelligent
student of figures can see that the ratio of
taxation upon the average imported prod
uct has instead of being increased, been
enormously reduced, alike to the poor and
the rich citizen of the United States, under
the McKinley tariff
Free Trade Arsnments Useless.
The arguments of the free trade "orators
who opposed the McKinley bill in the last
Congress, and whose inirepresentations
largely caused the Democratic majority in
the present House, will fall to the trround
before this simple statement of fact, which
cannot be questioned or assailed as to
accuracy, and which absolutely proves that
the practical operation of the McKinley
tanfi act has resulted in an unprecedented
value of exports lor this country: an enor
mous balance of trade in favor of the
United States; a consequent appreciation of
the visible wealth of the country; the abso
lute proof that the imports free of duty ex
ceed thoe dutiable by a greater percentage
than lias appeared since the last Democratic
administration; and, finally, a convincing
refutation of the claim that the general
effect ot the McKinley tariff would be to
raise the duties on imports to an uncon
scionable degree, by the cold iact that the
average percentage of the ad volorem
duties on the total imports for each fiscal
vcar has decreased from 29.69 in 1889, to
20.65 iu lSUi Jj.

Niagara Falls, July 1G. Special
A meeting of the Canadian Niagara Power
Company, incorporated, was held at the
Clifton House, Niagara Falls, Ont., this
morning, at which the following were
present: Edward D. Adams, Francis I
Stetson, Edward A. "Wicker, T. K. Cheney,
Edward "Winslow, "William B. Rankin, ot
New York; Colonel A. D. Shaw, of "Water
town, N. X., and John G. Scott,
J. D. Irwin, and C J. Elliott, of Toronto.
The meeting was held for the purpose of
organizing the company by the election of
officers and directors. This was done by
the election of the following directors:
Colonel A. D. Shaw, Francis L. Stetson,
"William B. Rankin, J. D. Irwin and Mr.
llolmau. The officers elected were as fol
lows: President, Albert D. Shaw; Vice
President, Francis Lynde Stetson; Secre
tary and Treasurer, "William E. Rankin.
These officers will also constitute the
Executive Committee of the directors.
The ouly matter outside of the organ
ization of the company that took place
at the meeting was the .company ac
quiring, by purchase, the lease Irom the
Canadian Park Commissioners, of the right
to construct a tunnel under it. Formerly
this lease was held bv Messrs. Shaw. Ran
kin aud Stetson. There is no probability
of w orK commencing this fall on the new
tunnel.

"I think the unusually healthy condition
ol the guard is directly attributable to the
absence of sutlers in this camp," said Major
Campbell, of the Division Staff. "The
boys arc living on good plain food and can
not get fruits, eta, which, alter being car
ried around for a length of time, are not fit
for anyone to eat. In all my experience I
have never teen a more healthy lot of men.
Another fact which seems peculiar is that a
uniform and brass bnttons seem to be a
safeguard against a cold. "Why, if the men
had gone through what they did when they
arrived here at home in their yards, more
than half of them would now be down with

Dear Sir I am almost ashamed to yield
to your request to deny a statement so silly
and absurd on it Jace as the one yon send

think it best to end the matter, so far as it is
possible to do so, bv branding the statement,

I know Catdinal Gibbons, and know him

intolerance and vicious malignity which
di-gnicc some who claim to be Protestants.

BOBBED THE "WORSHIPERS.
A Peculiar Oat Fatlietlo Story From St.
rnulN Cathedral.
Through the vigilance of the sexton at St.
Paul's Cathedral the -police yesterday ap
prehended a lemale thief, who has been
stealing numerous pocketbooks from wor
shipers in the sanctuary during the past
two or three months. Within the past
week no less than nine purses were stolen,
and always from women while
at prayer. The sexton, on Friday, detected
a young married woman, who was appar
ently at her devotions, appropriating the
pocketbook of another lady beside her. The
sexton was not absolutely certain, but as
the case in point was similar in everr way
to thoe previously reported, he followed
the woman home and then reported to the
police.
Inspector McKelvy and Detective Shore
went to the house yesterday. The young
woman at first denied, but finally admitted
the charge. Amid tears she told her story.
She said she was a stranger in the city, her
husband was out of work, they were out of
money, and, owing to her delicate condition
she became despondent. One day while at
prayers she could not resist an opportunity
to steal the pure oi a woman at her side who
had carelessly laid it on the pew. After
that, owing to the carelessness of the wor
shipers, she had manv opportunities of
the same kind, and embraced them all.
She could not tell how much money she
had secured, but it was not a large sum.
Several of the stolen pocketbooks were
found in the hoase. Owing to the circum
stances the woman's name was suppressed
bv the police, and it is unlikely that any
prosecutions will be made.

Railway, who beaded the guards who did
not defend the passenger train which was
robbed by the Dalton gang last Thursday,
has returned to this place. He is suffering
irom a slisht wound.
He says the party that attacked the train
was 15 srrong and well armed. He tried to
raise a posse to run down the bandits, but
only 11 men responded to his call, and he
abandoned the chase. He says the gang
have gone into camp on Pryon creek, 15
miles from the scene of the robbery. There
they buried one of their number, who was
mortally wounded during the attack on the
train.

New York, July 16. Adlai Ewing Ste

Vice Presidency, arrived at the Grand Cen
tral station this evening on the 8:50 o'clock
train Irom the "West, and went directly to
the Hoffman House. He was accompanied
by his law partner, James S. Ewing, of
Bloomington, 111., and Adam T. Ewing, "W.
G. Ewing, Jacob W. Richard. A A. Good

ford, of Chicago. They hare rooms in the
new house on Twenty-fifth street.
Mr. Stevenson's tall figure was clad in
black, with a long frock coat, the collar of
which was negligently turned up on the
right side. A white straw hat which had
lost much of its whiteness from the accumu
lated dust of travel covered the bald dome
of thought which is so prominent a feature
of the campaign lithographs of the candi
date. He greeted The Dispatch reporter
with great cordiality, and said that though
his journey from Chicago had been some
what fatiguing, there had been some pleas
ant incidents to lighten it.
. Plrnsantly Greeted Evervwlirre.
'Pleasant greetings were given me," he
said, "by the Democrats of Rochester,
Syracuse and Utica, and several prominent
members of the party in Albany came
aboard the train when it stopped there.
There was no formal speech-making. I
simply thanked those who came lor their
kindly expression of interest, I shall prob
ably remain at this hotel until next
"Wednesday evening, at least."
Asked regarding his movements after the
ceremony of notification next "Wednesday
evening, and the reception at the Manhattan
Club afterward, Mr. Stevenson said he has
not as yet made up his -mind what he will
do. It is possible, he said, that he may ac
cept Mr. Cleveland's invitation to visit him
at Gray Gables.
"Concerning my participation in the
campaign," said he, "that will be a matter
which will, in all probabilitv, be decided
by the-National Committee."

""What do yon think of the public char
acter of the cereinonr of notification as it
has been arranged?" he was asked, and to
which question he replied:
"I am perfectly satisfied with any ar
rangements my fellow Democrats have made
for the occasion."
Mr. Stevenson said that the Democrats of
Illinois are very enthusiastic, and feel that
victory is in the air, and that they may
carry the State this fall.
"They are pleased with the attitude of
the New York Democracv toward the
ticket," said he. "For my part I never
had the slightest doubt that New York
Democrats would loyally support the
ticket regularly nominated!"
The Executive Committee of the Com
mittee of One Hundred, which has charge

Virw of the Illinois Campaign.
Btjzzabd's Bat, Mass., July 1&
Special' Hon. Grover Cleveland is keep
ing close at Gray Gables this week, fishing
some, bnt attending to his correspondence
more. He is preparing to depart for New
York either on Monday or Tuesday, and
will make the trip either on E. C. Bene
dict's yacht Oneida or take one
of the Sound steamer lii boats.
He is making every effort to make his stop
in Gotham as brief as is consistent with the
dutv before him, and, if only his private
wishes were to be consulted, would keep
away from the heat of town altogether.
He will also prolong his stay at Buzzard's
Bay as late in the season as possible, and
will, so far as seems expedient and proper,
delay entering into the active campaign
until well after the- summer solstice has
passed.
Every day now brings Mr. Cleveland vis
itors from all sections of the country. This
morning a delegation of about 30 represent
atives of the Cane Cod Democracy came up
on the early train and were driven over to
Gray Gables, beaded by Henry C Hather,
of Yarmouth, the Cape aspirant for Con
gressional honors in Representative Charles
S. Randall's district, Mr. Cleveland greet
ed the delegates pleasantly, and put them at
ease at once. Their reception by him was
informal and was over in a few moments.
Joshua "W. Copeland, of Indianapolis,
was the guest of Mr. Cleveland to-day. Mr.
Copeland is a prominent Democrat in that
;ity and a retired business man. He came
as a bearer of good tidings to the nominees
and of good cheer from the Honsier State
Democracy. Mr. Cleveland and bis guest
talked over the local situation in that State
in detail, with special reference to the atti
tude of Governor Gray and of his position
in reference to the national ticket. Mr.
Copeland says that President Harrison has
lost ground in his own State.largely through
his narrowness in religious belief.
In relation to Stevenson and the Vice
Presidency, Mr. Copeland thinks it a tre
mendous task for the Democracy to attempt
to carry me oiaie oi Illinois, dut With .Air.
Stevenson on the ticket, there is a good
chance of winning there. He savs Cleve

HOME RULE'S THE ISSUE.
T.
P. O'Connor Think Gladstone Will
Send the Rill Three Time to the Bonn
of Lords Br for Appra'lng to the Conn
try One Man One Vote.
Loxdox, July 17. T. P. O'Connor in his
paper, the Sunday Sun, to-day says:
The elections are prnctically over. The
opposition have a majoilty, not so large as
soma expected, Dut still a substantial roa
Jority, which in the days or Palinerston
would be regarded as gigantic. The question
now is whether Mr. Gladstone can carry his
measure and hold out long enough. Onr
own impression is thnt he can and ought.
He is steadilv and Immutably bound to hold
two things: First, not to allow himself to be
forced on the country until he 1ms reformed
the whole system of registration. Second,
not to allow his hand to be forced in the
House of Lords.
The diffeiences of opinion or the different
sections ol the Liberal and Irish partial in
regard to details of the home rule scheme
can be imagined, but there is none on the
question of one man one vote, which Mr.
Uladstono should carry. Even some Union
ists would find it difficult to opnoso the pro
posal, aitnougn most oi cue unionists are
really rank Conservatives and have lost
hat little traco of Liberalism they ever
had. There is more real sympathy for the
progress of democratic demands iclt bv
many Tories than by some Unionists.
Vet the differences of temperaments and
interests would make it po-siolo that we
would not find a solid Unionist party ar
rayed against us on Liberal pi opoi-als out
side of home rule. The idea, IncVed, pre
vails In some quarters that Mr. Gladstone
will jrobe oie the country alter one defeat
of the home rule scheme by the Houso or
Lords. Our own impression is that he will
send his home rule bill at least three times
to the House ot Lords.
Tne supremo interest of the Liberal party
during the remaining years of the struggle
Is to mature public opinion and to arouse
the passions of the people against the House
ot Lords. There is no cry to whioli the
masses would respond so promptlv or so
fiercely as "Down with the Honse ot Lords."
The Unionists are alreatfv nusv about Mr.
Gianstone's difficulty in getting the Nation
alists io nang up the question ol home rnle
until lie has dealtwlth tho one man one vote
i'sne. This bill should he confined to the
fewest clauses and woids possible. No such
difficulty will arise. The two bills can rim
side by side, each takine alternate rizhts:
and iu the samo way the home rule bill.
could accompany every other Government
measure.
The Tories may force us to another appeal
to the country before the question of home
rule is settled. IT we then have the one
man voto we can sweep the counties. Tho
Tory threats that the Houso of Lot ds will
not pass the one man one vote measure is
or no more importance than the buzbear of
civil war. In Ulster both are what is called
in an American campaign, "lyinir." As to
hanging up the question of home rule, Mr.
Gladstone thinks, sp-jaks. acts, lives; there
loie he will not allow it to be postponed for
a single second.
THE CENTOEY CLUB DBAD,
Close of the Career of a Noted American
Establifthmfnt In London.

London, July 16. Copyright The
Century Club, once the temporary home of
the better clas of Americans who visit Eon-
don, died of inanition to-day, and with its
demise perishes almost all hops of support-.
ing a distinctively American clnb here.
The Century Club membership was largely
composed of the -old American Club, which
was amalgamated with it five years ago.
The membership list of 1891 contained the
names of Cornelius and W. K. Yanderbilt,
"William and "William "Waldorf Astor,
AVilliam M. Evarts, James B. Osgood,
Chauncey M. Depew, C P. Huntington, J.
B. Haggin, Georee V. Childs, "W. H. Hun
neweli, Chester Allan Arthur, Judge Ed
ward Patterson, J. Pierpont Morgan, Brad
lev Martin, W. B. McVickar. Bret Harte,
J." McNeill Whistler, Minister Lincoln,
Consul General New, Henry "White,
First Secretary ot the United States
Legation, aud . Major Post and
Lieutenant Commander Emory, respective
lv military and naval attaches of our lega
tion, as well as most other distinguished
Americans who are in the habit of visiting
London. Et. Hon. Sir Edward Thornton,
ex-Ambassador to the United States from
England, was Chairman, and at that time
the club was known as "The Millionaires'
Club," and the cuisine was one of the best
in London.
The decline of the club began when Du-
rant, who was a pupil of Napoleon Hi's
chef, left because he was offered a bigger
salary than the Century would pay, to be
come steward of the Tivoli restaurant, a
year ago one of the best in the town, now
closed Decause it could not be made a finan
cial success. Afterward the committee,
without calling a meeting of the members,
assessed them for a debt under which the
club lay. Eighty members resigned within
a week, as a protest against this high
handed , proceeding, and very soon
after the committee closed the
dining room without notifying
the members, and there were a score more
of resignations. Since then the clnb has
been practically dead, and it was no un
usual thing for the last few months for a
solitary member to enter and find the serv
ants sitting about the rooms reading the
periodicals. The club was closed by a com
mittee with the same disregard for mem
bers as was evinced by the former official
actions. Nobody knew until they called
to-day and found the doors closed that their
club, for 'which they had paid dues until
next January, had collapsed.

The language of this cablegram, leaking
out accidentally, has caused much comment
among the acquaintances ot the young man.
It contains the first, and so far the only in
formation that has become public, that any
new action had been'taken by the author
ities in the matter of the duel. There is
also much speculation as to just where in
the code ot Belgium Mr. Borrowe found
the Damon and Pythias provision which
forms the basis lor his alleged intention to
go to jail in the place of his sick late sec
ond, Milbank. The presence of any such
section in the code has heretofore escaped
the eyes of the Belgian lawyers.

of which are gradually growing wider and

IBFXCIAI. TELIOKAM TO THE DISPATCTI.t
Beavek Pa., July 16. The joint meet
ing oi the three lodges of the Amalgamated
Association, held Here this afternoon, re
sulted in no new move being made. Con
siderable business in the way of preparing
for the struggle between the Carnegie Com
pany and the Amalgamated Association, so
far as the mills here are concerned, was
transacted. Plans were formulated and
vigilance, advisory and other committees
were appointed.
No committees or officers from other dis
tricts were present, and the question of re
ceding from the position taken at yesterday
morning's meeting was not even mentioned.
Although manv of the members of the as
sociation think the move made yesterday
was not a good one. yet the men are firm in
their determination to stick to it. Said one
man, and his remarks voice the sentiments
of all: "We are in for it and we mean to
stay with it whether we win or lose." He
admitted, though, that he had been opposed
to going out, and thought yet it was a fool
ish move. The business men in general do
not want to see the men strike, and many of
them think that it will not only result iu an
injury to business, hut to the men them
selves. The big mills are deserted except by tho
watchmen, an extra force which was put on
to-day. No lights are burning as usual, aad
the place looks dark and gloomy. None of
the mill men go near the mills and are
keeping both quiet and sober. Superin
tendent Wrigley is at Pittsburg at head
quarters, and nothing could be learned of
his intentions. It is said, however, that an
effort will be made to start the mill on
Monday with non-union men. Many of the
men seem afraid that if they go out on
strike it will be a useless fight, a: the mills
here have little or no influence over the
balance ol the Carnegie interests.

trial of J. Smith Stowe, Jr., the young
forger, ended this evening in a verdict of
guilty on all six counts of the indictment.
The case was given to the jury at 5 o'clock.

thousands of dollars in times past to extri
cate the young man from similar scrapes,
and who was his bondsman -in this case,
notified the Court that he could do no more
for him, and he was delivered into the cus
tody of the Sheriffand taken to jail, having
been permitted to remain in the elegant
home of his wife's family in the custody of
a special bailiff. The prisoner received the
verdict stoically. A motion for a new trial
was immediately entered, and will be argued
on the 22d.

St. Louis, July 16. A most remarkable
state of affairs, either the result of a disor
dered brain or the deliberate swindling of a
bold knave of Lawrence, Kan., has been re
vealed here by proceedings taken by local
firms to secure their just dues. To make a
long Btory short, last April W. H. Pendle
ton, up to that time a fairlv rjrosnercms
produce dealer, decided to open a wholesale
grocery house at Lawrence.
Armed with a commercial agency rating
based on Ins former business and what is
now alleged to be a false statement of his
finances, Pendleton made a tonrayof the
country, purchasing his stock. He bought
of dealers in New York, Baltimore, Chi
cago, ot. Aiouis and elsewhere a stock which
it isnow learned aggreated more than 5143,
000 in value. His supposed stauding en
abled him to obtain 60 days' credit on
everything he bought. In all he made pur
chases from 277 wholesalers and importers.
Returning to Lawrence, he soon began to
receive his goods, whieh he stored in the
warehouse of his father-in-law, Theodore
Poehlcr. Soon the bills came due, and in a
short time, payment failing, an assignee
was appointed, who found but $75,000 ot the
$143,000 purchased in Lawrence. He, how
ever, traced several carloads which had been
sold for cash at less than the prices at which
Pendleton had obtained the goods. So far
the entire amount has not been accounted
for, but enough is known to cast grave sus
picion. An instance of Pendleton's methods Is
shown in the case of a Baltimore firm, from
whom he secured 50,000 cigars of one brand
and then 50,000 more on the plea that they
were selling remarkablv tast, putting in an
application for a third lot just before the
crnsh came. The assignee found the entire
100,000 cigars in warehouses when he took
charge.
NEW YORK'S LABOR UNION.
Considerable Display of Feellnsr at a Meet
ing Last Klglit Samaol Gomprrs Ex
pects to Bo Called an Anarchist The
It.-solntlons That Wrrn Adopted.
New York, July IS. Special The
The Central Labor Union's mass meeting at
Union square this evening to protest
against the employment of the Pinkerton
men to protect the Carnegie plant at Home
stead, Pa., numbered between 3,000 and
4,000 people. The Electric Workmen's
Union, an organization affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, bore aloft a
picture of an electric chair under which
was an inscription to the effect that It was
meant for the capital side of the contro
versy. On one of the transparencies, evi
dently a new one, were the words: "In
God and Pinkerton We Trust."
Samuel Gompers began by saving that
their brothers and comrades at Homestead
were sleeping under the muskets and can
nons of the troops of Pennsylvania. After
indulging in more poetry that was loudly
cheered, lie continued: "Some New York
papers will find it worth while to write
me down as an Anarchist. I am a conser
vative, but I will defend my life, my home,
my country, with my life if necessary."
As Mr. Gompers concluded his remarks
another labor delegation came along bear
ing a banner with the strange device,
"Alter four years' fighting we are yet
alive." The Chairman submitted resolu
tions denouncing the Pinkerton "invasion"
at Homestead and the action of the com
pany generally. One of the resolutions
passed oy acclamation read as follows:
Resolved, By the workinpmen of Sew
Tork, In mass meeting assembled, to heart
ily endorse tlie action of the steel workers
or Homestead as being well worthy of the
ereat traditions of a freedom-Iovlnz people
and ns being in strict accordance with the

closed to-day. Next week's programme, as
arranged, presents some good speakers and
entertainments. From what can be learned,
the Third Brigade will stay here for some
days yet, or until it is thought advisable to
send them on to Pittsburg or disband the
camp.
This was Indian Day at the Chautauqua,
and the Indians of the Carlisle Training
School attracted many curious visitors.
Captain Pratt, principal of the school, had
the'Indians in charge. They were accom
panied by their famous Indian band, led by
Beuben Wolf, a full-fledged Sioux. During
tne day this band rendered some very good
m usic, giving a special concert in the after
noon. Many tribes were represented,
principally the Sioux, Apaches, Cheyenne,
Kiowa, Seneca, Comanche and Chipewa.
In the morning Mrs. Amelia S. Quinton,
President of the National Women's Indian
Association, gave a very interesting talk on
her seven months experience among nearly
all the Indian tribes of the United States.
Kev. Mosley H. Williams, Secretsry of the
American Sunday School Union, also spoke
In the morning on "The Development of
the Sunday School," and portrayed its his
tory from Biblical ages down to the present
time. In the afternoon Hon. Herbert
Welsh,. Secretary of the National Indian
Bights Association,spoke to the Chautauqua
on the success and object of the society he
represented. He was followed bv two In
dians Richard Davis, a Cheyenne, 23
years ot age, whore Indian name is
Wyacy, and Beuben Wolf, a Sioux.
Their subject was "Our Immediate
Citizenship in the United States."
Their speeches were original, well deliv
ered, and received vigorous applause. A
Bpccial act of Congress was favored, giving
all Indians unlimited citizenship and equal
rights with other American citizens.
Captain Pratt, of the Carlisle Indian
School, followed. He severely scored
the remarks of the Secretary ot
the Indian Bights Association, say
ing it would be far better lor the
Indians had the Indian Department of the
Government never existed. He also favored
immediate and equal citizenship for the In
dian, because he deserved it in every way.
To-morrow (Sunday) will be rigidly ob
served at Chautauqua. No trains will be
run, and the gates will bo closed all day.
There will be several devotional exercises.
