y ) - THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH TUESDAY, JULY 19, 189a PUNS ANDSCHEMES For Getting Out a Full Repub lican Yote This Fall Is My Talked Over. KO SECBETAEY SELECTED, But One Is Looked for When Carter Eeturns From Washington. DRESS SUITS SOT NECESSARY During the Cleveland-Stevenson Notifica tion Ceremonies. ELKINS NOT QUITE PERSUADED TET (SriCIAL TELIGIU3I TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Kew York, July 18. Hon. Thomas Henry Carter, the new Chairman of the Xational Republican Committee, has not yet named the Secretary for that body. He departed for Washington totnight, and will not return until later in the week, when he may possibly, he says, be ready with the name of the new Secretary. Mr. Carter wants a man who can devote his entire time to the work. C L. Magee was at the hotel to-day, and he said again very positively that he couldn't give any of his time to the place. Ex-Kepresentatives Lewis E. JlcComas, of Maryland, and William O. Bradley, of Kentucky, are the two men now uppermost in Mr. Carter's mind, and yet he admitted before leaving town that almost a dozen names had been considered. Some of his advisers were inclined to think that too much attention was being paid to the election of a Sec retary, that he was a mere figurehead, and that it was always the case that an active young man did the bulk of the work. Advlco From the Club Organizers. The committee sat in its parlors in the Fifth Avenue Hotel all this afternoon, lis tening to James A. Blanchard, A. B. Humphrey, James E. Burke and E. P. Al len, otherwise known as "Yysilanti Allen," of Michigan, who told what the Republican clubs of the country intended doing during the campaign. These clubs are under the jurisdiction of the National Executive Com mittee and will work in harmony with the Committee. The Executive Committee, in order to fa cilitate business, decided that hereafter five members shall be a quorum. A committee consisting of Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Fessenden, Mr. Manley, Mr. Bliss and Colonel Swords, was appointed to hunt lor headquarters. The purpose of Mr. Carter's visit to Washington is to consult with the President, not only as to the selection of a secretary, but also concerning the appoint ment of an Advisory Committee ot five. This committee, it is intended, shall id Cornelius 2T. Bliss, Treasurer of the Com mittee. Situation In the Empire Statr. Dr. Chauncey M. Depew, ex-Senator Warner Miller and ex-Judge William Robertson conterred with Whitelaw Keid at the hotel, while the Executive Com mittee were in session. All are familiar with the situation in New York State, and all desire the restoration of harmonious re lations between the President and leading xvcpuuiiuaus ui fcuc oiaie. .Liie situation at present is very unpleasant. One or two gentlemen not conversant with the facts in sist that there is an effort going on to ex aggerate the unpleasantness. -The gentle men who met in Mr. Reid's room this after noon knew better than this, and they pro pose that a reasonable and dignified effort shall be made to restore as far as possible coniial relations between Washington and the Republicans of 60 counties in New York. John K. Tanner, the Illinois member of the Republican National Committee, talked to-day to a Dispatch reporter about the situation in that State. "We have a big fight on in Illinois," he said, "but I con fidently believe we will win. We know'the Democracy intends to make the campaign a last one from the beginning, and they will find us ready. Our greatest danger would be in a mild and inert canvass. Knowing that the enemy expects to win we ought to be able to get out every Republican in the State. Losses That Are to be Made Up. "We have been somewhat remiss in the last two campaigns, and have lost some prestige, but the effects of these defeats will be Jo draw us all closer together for the Presidental and Congressional contests. Illinois has always been Republican, and I think to-day we can feel assured that we can enter the canvass with an advantage of 20,000 or 25,000 votes in the State, without taking Cook county into consideration. There, of course, is where the Democrats intend to make their great gains, if they hope to carry the State. "Chicago "will poll about 45,000 more Totes than in 1868. In order to have the slightest chance ot carrying the State the Democrats will have to get the support of nearly four-fifths of this increase. I hardly think this probable. Mr. Stevenson adds no particular strength to the ticket, as it is not likely that in a Presidental year he conld get any considerable number of Re publican votes for the ticket Some of his neighbors might be disposed to vote for him, but as this would also mean a vote for Cleveland, they will refrain from the dan gerous compliments. I0VE FEAST IN BLAIB C0UHIY. The Greevy and Conrad Factions Unite A round a Common Hoard. Hollidatsbueg, July 1& Special The Blair County Democratic Convention met here to-day, and placed the following ticket in the field: District Attorney, Henry Heiding; County Treasurer, F. D. Bechtel; Register and Recorder, John W. McFadden; Director of the Poor, Francis McClain; Coroner, Joseph B. Harney. Major F. Conrad was the only nominee for the State Assembly. George W. Rhine, of Altoona, was nominated for State Senator, subject to the decision of the district con ference. Thomas H. Greevy, of Altoona, who is now engaged in vigoronsly contest ing the seat of Hon. Edward 'Scull, of Somerset, from this Congressional district, again received Blair's indorsement for the House of Representatives. Tbe action of Governor Pattison, in refus ing to call out the militia to quell the Homestead riots before the civil authority of Allegheny county had been exhausted, and advocating legislation against the im portation of Pinkerton men ino the State, were indorsed. Twenty persons placed in nomination tor officers declined the honors thrust upon them. The Conrad and Greevy factions of the party, that have been bel ligerent for years, reunited and, held a love feast to-day. A LIVELY TIME IS SIGHT. Indiana County Straggling Hard to Get a - Congressman This Whirl. Gbeessbubg, July 18. Special The conferees of the Twenty-first Congressional district will meet at Kiskiminetas Springs to-morrow at 2 o'clock to nominate a Re publican candidate for Congress. The 'can didates are Colonel George F. Huff, the present incumbent, of Westmoreland; W. C. Bond, of Jefferson; Captain Nesbitt, of Indiana, and Mr. Hiener, of Armstrong. There are three conferees from each ot the four counties, and it will take sevrn votes to nominate. The friends of Captain Nes- bitt, of .Indiana, will make an extraordinary effort to land their man. but it is thought no bad feeline will arise. Indiana believes that she should have the prize this time, it having gone to Jefferson lour years age and to "Westmoreland two years ago. A very lively time is expected, "at any rate. QUAY MORE THAN CONFIDENT. He Fays Harrison Will Carry West Vir ginia and All the States He Had In 1888 The Senator to Take an Active Part in the Campaign. Philadelphia, July 18. Special. Senator Quay dropped into the city very quietly this evening and expects to meet a fewof the city leaders to-morrow. His coming was without herald, beyond a brief telegram to ex-Collector Dave Martin, who met him at the Continental Hotel shortly after 7 o'clock, and the only other caller was Secretary Frank Willing Leach, whose specialty in this year's campaign is the management of the legislative districts. Mr. Richard R. Quav accompanied his father. The Senator will return to Washington late to-morrow afternoon. First on the list of his engagements for to-morrow is his usual conference with Collector Cooper. Mr. Quay would not say that politics had anvthing to do with his visit. "You have noticed the opposition to Con gressman Dalzell in the Twenty-second dis trict," was the question of the evening. "There is a movement out there ot some sort," said the Senator, "but what it amounts to I don't know from present knowledge." Dick Thinks Welhe n S'rong Man. Some one stated that William Weihe. ex- President of tbe Amalgamated Association, would be nominated by the Democrats. "If he is," answered Dick' Quay, "he will get a big vote in Homestead and Braddock, and he is a very strong man." Mr. Quay admitted to a deep interest in the labor situation in Allegheny countv, bnt had no opinion to express on the sub ject. "Do you know thatHugh O'Donnell, the Homestead leader, is in town?" "I have not heard anything about Mr. O'Dnnnell beyond what the papers say," said the Senator. "There are warrants out for the arrest of some of the Homestead peo ple, according to late news, aud that is all I know." Touching his successor as Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Mr. Quay said: "Mr. Carter will prove an effective Chairman, and the choice is a good one. He has had some experience, and will take to the work naturally. The way be fore him is plain, as the committee's trans actions leave everything in excellent shape." Mr. Quay's Ideas of I lie Situation. "What do you think of the situation?" "Mr. Harrison will carry every State that he carried four years ago." He will carry all the new States admitted since then, and he will carry West Virginia. That more than means his election. It will be a break in the South of a healthy character, and there is no doubt of his success." "Do you expect take a part in the cam paign?" "I certainly do. Why not?" responded the Senator. "Of course you will take possession of that Brigantine Beach cottage after Con grass adjourns next week?" "That is a matter I shall have to consider after adjournment." Auditor General Grege and State Treas urer John W. Morrison were in the city to day. General Gregg went on to Atlantic City. Mr. Morrison returned to Harris burg. 10 BE A DEMOCRATIC AFFAIR. Dress Salts Not Necrsry Daring the C'evplHnd Notification Ceremonies. New York. July 18. Special The Executive Committee and tbe Finance Committte of the General Committee of One Hundred having in charge the arrange ments for the notification of Cleveland aud Stevenson of their nomination, met in City Ball to-day at noon. The money needed to defray the expenses of the ceremony having been contributed by members of the com mittee, oSera of contributions that have been received were declined. Applications for reserved seats and to have space set apart in the garden for campaign clubs and associations are so many that if all were granted the capacity of the house would be exhausted and there would be no room for tbe general public, for whose benefit the public ceremony was arranged. The programme for the ceremonies in the garden is a very short and simple one. Con gressman William L. Wilson will deliver the speech of notification to Mr. Cleveland, who will respond. Then ex-Lieutenant Stephen M. White, of California, will notify Mr. Stevenson in a short speech. The latter's response will close the pro ceedings, and the candidates will go at once to the Manhattan Club, where a reception in their honor will be held. It will be a very democratic affair, the dress suit not being necessary. HIXL WOH'T BE PBESEHT At the Cleveland-Stevenson Jamboree at Madison Fqaare Garden. Washington, July 18. Special A large delegation of Democratic Congress men expect to go over to New York Wednesday to witness the notification ceremonies at Madison Square Garden, but Senator Hill will not be among them. It is understood that he has not been invited. Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia, and Representative Mitchell, of Wisconsin, representing the Congressional Campaign Committee, have been authorized to make the necessary arrangements for the com mittee to visit New York, and it is under stood that nearly all the members will be present. In addition to tbe Congressional members of the National Committee, which is to meet Thursday following the notification of the Presidental candidates, a rumor was circulated at tbe Capitol to-day that neither Senators Gorman nor Brice would attend the meeting at Madison Sauare Gar den. Senator Gorman, however, said that as a member of the National Committee he fully expects to be present. It is possible he may be detained here as one of the Sen ate conferees on sundry civil appropriation bHL If his services are not needed here in that connection Wednesday and Thursday, he and Senator Brice will go to New York. ELKINS' FAITH IN HIS STATE. He's Sure It'a Republican, bnt Doesn't Want to ltun for governor. Washington, July 18. Special Judge Nathan Goff, of West Virginia, ex Secretary of the Navy and ex-Congressman, is in Washington, and it is understood that a strong pressure is being brought to bear on Secretary Elkins to induce him to become the gubernatorial candidate in West Virginia this fall. The friends ot the Secretary, however, ay he would prefer to run the chance of remaining in Harrison's Cabinet, and they are sure that if he knew that his friend would have a second term he would drop the governorship ambition at once. Mr. Elkins and his friends profess to be confident that the Republicans will carry West Virginia. At a meeting ot the West Virginia Association a few nights ago he predicted that they would carry the State. Hopes of Third Partyltes In Missouri. St. Loms, July 18. Hon. W. S. Wil kins, of Cincinnati, a member of the Na tional People's party, is here negotiating for a consolidation of his paper, the Cin cinnati Herald, the People's party organ in Ohio, with the St. Lonis Monitor, the organ of the party here. If the deal goes through, and it is said' It probably will, the. Strald will be moved to St. Louis and a vigorous campaign conducted in Missouri, where the party ha a full State ticket in the field, and where it expects to poll 100,000 votes. HARRITY FOR CHAIRMAN. The Question as Good as Settled Sketch of the Career of the Pennsjlranlan "Who Is to Lead Grover Cleveland's Third Campaign. New- York, July 18. It is practically assured that Secretary of State William F. Harrity, of Pennsylvania, will on Wednes day be unanimously elected Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Al though Mr. Harrity has not formally an nounced that he will accept, ex-Secretary Whitney and others of Mr. Harrity's friends here are fully justified in feeling that he will yield to the pressure brought to bear on him, and it may be considered as settled that he will be tbe Chairman. William F. Harrity was born in Wil mington, Del., October 19, 1850, received bis preliminary education in the public schools ot Wilmington, and at Clarkson Taylor's Academy and St Mary's college, in the same place; graduated at La Salle College, Philadelphia, as Master of Arts, in June, 1871; studied law and was ad mitted to the Philadelphia bar December 7, 1873; remained with his preceptors as their assistant for six years; has always been in active practice of the law in the courts of Philadelphia; was Chairman of the Democratic City Execu tive Committee In 1882, when . James A. Beaver, as a candidate for Governor, had a majority in that city of but 3,464 over Gov ernor Pattison; was delegate at large from Pennsylvania to the Chicago Convention of 1884, which nominated Grover Cleveland for President was annointed rtostmaster at Philadelphia December 1, 1885, and served a full term of four years; was elected Presi dent of the Equitable Trust Company, of Philadelphia, in July, 1890, and is still its President He was Permanent Chairman of the Democratic State Convention at Scranton, in 1890, which nominated Robert E.

Scott, and in April, 1892, was unanimously re-elected by tbe Democratic State convention tor the full term of membership of the Democratic National Committee. Prior to accepting his present position, Mr. Harrity never held any public office except that of post master at Philadelphia. HABHITY DOESN'T GIVE IT AWAY. He Is In the Hands or His Trlends, Though, as He Is Always. Harrisburg, July 18. Special Sec retary of the Commonwealth William F. Harrity arrived here to-night from Phila delphia. He talked freely to a Dispatch reporter upon the national chairmanship of the Democratic Committee. He has de cided not to call upon ex-President Cleve land before the appointment of a chairman is made, He will accept the place should the committee elect him. He said: "I am in the hands of mv friends, as I always have been, and I will endeavor to serve them to the best of my ability, wherever they may place me. It would be'premature for me to accept a post now which has not yet been awarded." JOSEPH STOKELY DEAD. The Ex-County Commissioner Passes Any Unexpectedly Last Evening His Re mains 'Will Be Interred at His Early Home in West Newton. Joseph Stokely, ex-County Commissioner, died unexpectedly at 5:30 o'clock last even ing at his residence, No. 355, Fifth avenue. His body will be arranged tor burial in this city and the funeral services will lie con ducted to-night by Rev. Dr. McGuire, of the Fifth Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church. To-morrow tbe remains will be taken to West Newton and interred in the cemetery at that place. The services and funeral will be strictly private. Mr. Stokely was born in 1843 at West Newton, Westmoreland county. He came to this city in 1862, when a lad of 19 years. Here he entered into the drug business, which he still carried on when he died. In the year 1869 Mr. Stokely entered into poli tics and has ever since been closely affili ated with the Democratic party of Alle gheny county. Early in the 70s he became a candidate for County Commis sioner, together with William Magee, but was defeated. At the next election he was aeain a candidate lor the same office. Daniel McWilliams had already been selected, but when it came to a decision between Magee or stokely lor second cnoice, were was a split in the convention. One of the parties favored Stokely and the other decided upon Magee. Here the friends of Mr. Stokely interposed and after a long controversy with the Democratic Chairman, Jas. H. Hopkins, it was decided that there had been no quorum at the con vention and the nomination of Magee, who controlled the majority of delegate9, was overruled. To bring about a settlement it was finally agreed that the party should have two tickets. Mr. Stokely was elected by several thousand majority. At the follow ing election Stokely and McWill iams were the candidates. This was about the time the contract for the new Court House had been let Mr. Stokely at this election came off with flying colors. He was for the fourth time a candidate at the next election, but this time he was defeated, and ever since has declined to run for office. Mr. Stokely was elected to the last Gubernatorial Conven tion as a Wallace delegate and did all in his power to carry out his instructions. All through his career Mr. Stokely has been honored and respected and no man in Democratic politics in this section of the State is better known. He was unmarried, but leaves a brother and two sisters to mourn his loss. A LITTLE 8H0BT OF HONEY. Agent Bangough Gets a Remittance and Malls 19,000 Checks. Pension Agent Bengough was unable to pay any pension claims all last week owing to the failure of Congress to pay the pension appropriation bill for the year be ginning July 1, 1892. For several days he has been receiving letters asking the reason of delay in paying the quarterly amounts, but yesterday he received a credit from the Pension Office enabling him to continue the work, and last night he mailed 19,000 checks to pensioners for their vouchers.

TuwThsu PLANS OF LIBERALS. Forecasts of the Exact Dates of the Events in Parliament PLATING FOR C00NTRY SUPPORT. The Home Rule Bill to Te Taid Aside for a V hole Twelve Months. THE RESURGENT POWER OP SIR DILKE London, July 18. The Associated Press correspondent in interviews to-day with several prominent Liberals found a general concurrence of opinion that the course of events will be as predicted in the dis patches last evening. Some Liberals venture to forecast the exact dates of the different events. Thus the momentous division on the amendment ousting the Government is set down for August 19, the resignation oi Lord Salis bury for August 20 and the adjournment ot Parliament for August 22, a period of one month being occupied in the re-election of Ministers and the formation of the Cabinet, the House formally reassembling at the end of September and the real work beginning about the end of January. Events then, it is thought, will absolutely depend upon the prudence of the Irish members. If they insist upon the imme diate precedence of the home rule bill they will play into the hands of the Conserva tives, who want the earliest possible re appeal to the country, having full confi dence that they will obtain better re sults at a re-contest The Conserva tive executive has already con voked meetings of the London elector al agents to discuss the causes of the loss of twelve metropolitan seats and the pro vincial agents will be summoned here alter the London agents' conference. If tbe Irish support Mr. Gladstone the new Government can rely upon two sessions of office before being obliged to dissolve Parliament Foreshadows of the Policy. Herbert Gladstone, speaking at Buxton, foreshadowed as the best course a policy ex actly stmilar to that referred to in these dispatches of Friday, namely, that the "home rule" bill be postponed for a year, and that the "one man one vote" bill be proceeded with, together with measures for a iurtner democratizing ot tne rural vote. He declared that a county Government bill, including parish councils, compulsory allotments, registration relorm and "one man one vote" provisions must pass before the Liberals went to the country again. Herbert claimed that the redistribution of seats could be postponed, overlooking the inevitable rejection by the House of Lords of any bill abolishing plural voting not ac companied by a measure fora redistribution of seats and reducing the disproportionate Irish vote. The sum of to-night's position is that the Liberal meaning to play for two or three sessions before dissolving Parliament, will not rush the "home rule" bill. If con strained to give it precedence they will not accept its rejection by the House of Lords as necessitating an immediate dissolution, but will proceed with measures tending to strengthen the Liberal vote throughout the country. Gladstone's a No Confldencs Amendment; Mr. Gladstone will move a simple "no confidence" amendment to the address in stead of one alleging specific reasons and will thus be enabled to limit the scope of the declarations ot his own.policy. He has, as precedents, the facts that in 1841 the Melbourne Ministry was thrown out on a vote of "no confidence," and in 1859 the present Duke ot Devonshire's "no confi dence" amendment turned on the Derby Disraeli Government. A most striking indication of the re surgent power of Sir Charles Dilke is seen in the manner ot his reception at a demon stration of 35,000 miners at Derby to-day. A number ot members of the House of Commons were on the platform. Mr. Bayley, M. P., who presided, maintained that the working classes would reinstate Sir Charles Dilke in the im portant position which he formerly held In Parliament, and the assemblage gave Sir Charles an ovation when he told them what they liked to hear in regard to eight hours, employers' liability, the workmen's state and other subjects. The Parsere community of India, chiefly Bombay merchants, has sent 28,000 to Mr. Naoroji, member elect for the central Finsbury district of London as a defender of Indian interests in Parliament. To this amount an Indian ruling prince adds 10,000 pounds. TJNYAKBEANS IN REVOLT. They Tlir. aten the German Forces and Are Vlctorions In an Engagement. Berlin, July 17. A dispatch to the Tagehlatt from Zanzibar reports that the na tives at Unyambe have revolted and threaten the German forces. The rumor is of serious import as in case of a revolt the important station of Tabora will be endan gered. The report is partly confirmed by a dis patch received by the German Anti-Slavery Lottery Committee to the effect that the united troops of Tabora and the expeditions under Count Sweh and Captain Swpring re cently attacked and captured the fortified town of Quikikoro, belonging to Chief Sikki, after a hard struggle in which three Germans were killed and eight wounded, among the latter being Count Sweinitz. BISMARCK'S ATTACK A FAILURE. The Most of the Fight Is Over Says an Op position Paper. London, July 8. The Berlin corre spondent of the Times telegraphs to his pa per as follows in regard to the Bismarck controversy: "The Bismarckian organs are beginning to recognize that their grand attack on the Government has failed. The Deutsclte WcA enblatt, a Bismarck paper, sums up a long ap peal for peace and good will with an allu sion to the right of clemency as the noblest ornament oi the Crown. "When Prince Bismarck, who has always asserted that he has done no wrong and has nothing to regret or withdraw, is classed by his own friends among those for whom the mercy of the crown can be invoked, it may be assumed that the worst of the fight is over." EIVAL PAEIS SALONS RECONCILED. Champ de Mars Artiste Will Ketnrn to the Fatal! de IIndnstrle. Paeis, July 18. The event of the week in the Paris artistic world is the reconcilia tion of the two salons. It is now almost certain that next year the Champ de Mars artists will return to the Palais de l'ln dustrie. The main cause of this is the fact that the Champ de Mars salon has not paid its expenses. Another cause is the Chicago Fair. For a moment the division threatened the success of the French fine arts exhibit at Chicago. Finally it was decided to appoint! a jury tor Chicazo made up of an equal number of members from the two salons. This was done and it had much to do with bringing the two salons together once more. CHOLERA STILL ACTIVE. It Spreads to the Servian Frontier and Cases Are Reported In Trlest. London, July 18. The Standard's Vienna correspondent says that a woman has died .of a suspicious disease in Triest and that the doctors are unable to decide whether it was asiatie cholera or a mild form of the disease that killed her. Several cases resembling cholera have oc curred in Arouman village, near the Ser bian frontier, The Russian War Minister has sent instruction to the commandants of Russian garrisons to the effect that in the event of rioting, similar to that at Astrak han, the troops must intervene without de lay and must use ball cartridges against the rioters. CHURCHES OP THE EAST. The Latin and Oriental Congregations Will Shortly Iliscnis the Matter of Reorgan izationThe Ancient Patriarch General to Be Re-E.tablllb.ed in the Person or Monslgnor Asrean. Rome, July 18. To the request for infor mation whidh arrived from several quarters the Vatican and the Propaganda answer that the Holy See has approved of Monsignor Ireland regarding Stillwater and Faribault, and for all places where the decrees of the Council of Baltimore can be applied. The Latin congregation and the Oriental congre gation of the Propaganda will be gathered together in plenary session in order to dis cuss, under all its aspects, a vast project of the Pope's for the ecclesiastical reor ganization of the churches of the East. It relates, in conjunction with France and with Turkey, to the re-establishment of the ancient Patriarch General of Constantino ple, in the person of Monsignor Asrean, at present Armenian Patriarch residing at Constantinople, an eminent prelate who enjoys the confidence of the Sultan and the sympathy of France and Russia. The fol lowing is the importance of the charge: At this moment the Catholics of the East, of the Latin right, do not form autonomous communities with civil personality; they are only tolerated. The apostolic delegate at Constantinople has a dependent situa tion; he cannot negotiate with the Sultan except through the intermediary of the Am bassador ot France. In re-establishing the Patriarch, the Holy See not only unifies and centralizes thechurch of the East, but gives autonomy, with the civil personality, to all the communities of the Latin rite in the Turkish Empire. In addition, the Pa triarch will be able to negotiate directly with the Sultan and personally with the Greek Patriarch, which was not possible up to the present. Turkey shows herself favor able to this plan so grand in its simplicity. It is asserted that France and Russia, for motives ot general policy, appear to second Turkey and the Holy See; but the plans encounter difficulties, in applying them, on account of tbe French protector and of the respective positions of tbe different committees and of the governments of Europe. The two reunited congregations have the role of studying the possibility and also tbe practical application of this plan. If the Patriarch is established, the union of the two churches in which the Pope ardently interests himself, will have taken a long step forward. NE1LL OVERREACHED HIMSELF. He Attempted Blackmail and an Investiga tion shawed That He Had Mnrdered Fonr Girls No Motive for His Crime Ex cept Love of Killing. London, July 18. Thomas Neill, ar rested for attempting to blackmail Dr Harper, of Barnstaple, was to-day arraigned before Sir John Bridge, in the Bow Street Police Court, on the charge of having murdered Mattie Clover by administering strychnine to her. The case has excited widespread interest, as showing how a criminal can overreach himself and place himself within the clutches of the law. If Neill had not, for some inscrutable reason, attempted to blackmail several prominent persons, he would probably have been free to-day to pursue his career of villainy and murder. When the police followed up the clew furnished by the letter written by Neill to Dr. Harper they came across indisputable evidence that the blackmailer was a mur derer, and the further they examined into the case the more they became convinced that Neill was responsible for the deaths of at least four girls. When Neill was brought in and placed in the dock there waa a general craning of necks to see him. He looked well and his lace betrayed no sign of anxiety or trouble. He asked to be furnished with writing materials and when they were given to him he made copious notes of the proceedings. Mr. C F. Gill appeared on behalf of the Treasury. He said he would prove the cir cumstances under which Matilda Clover was murdered and he asked that the pris oner be committed. Mr. Gill added that he would have to refer to the deaths of three other girls who were killed in a manner precisely similar to the Clover girl. The Court granted Mr. Gill's request and the prisoner was remanded. A peculiarity of the crimes with which Neill is charged is the apparent lack of mo tive. The case is believed to be without parallel in the annals of English criminal jurisprudence. Deeming, the wholesale wife-murderer who was recently executed in Melbourne, had a motive tor his crimes, a desire to get rid of women he had tired of, but apparently Neill murdered simply for the sake of murder. ENTHUSIASTIC OVER THE FAIR. Baron Vlalar Predicts That It Will Be an Astonishing Success. Paeis, July 18. Baron Alfred Vialar, the special delegate of the French Govern ment who was sent to Chicago last month and make a report, has just, reached here. He is enthusiastic over the Fair. In conversation with the Associated Press representative, he said: "I have no doubt that the Fair will be a great success and Europe has much to learn from it. The site is very well chosen. It was well, too, that Chicago instead ot New York was chosen, for for eigners would find New York too much like European cities. There is an Ameri can aud original stamp about Chicago. While I do not find any very great origi nality about the Fair buildings, I do find them grandiose. The large scale on which everything has been done astonished me and will astonish the Europeans who go over next year." MASS IN HONOR OF COLUMBUS. The Pope Directs Its Celebration In Spain, Italy and America October 12. ROME, July 18. The Papal encyclical on the Columbus celebrations that was issued Saturday directs that on October 12 the Mass of the Trinity be celebrated in the Catholic churches of Spain, Italy and America in honor of Columbus. The encyc lical also invites the Bishops of other na tions to say the same mass. The Pope says he cannot doubt that Co lumbus was primarily inspired by the Catholic faith. The difference between him and the illustrious men who before and after him discovered unknown land, was that Columbus was animated by the spirit of religion, which sustained his genius, for tified his constancy and afforded him con solation in his greatest trials.' GEBMANY'B GREAT EXHIBIT. Every Gronp and Class Vt HI Have a Repre sentation In the Display. Pabis, July 18. Mr. Willard A. Smith, chief of the department of the transpor tation of exhibits for the Chicago Fair, who has just completed his report of the sections, Italy, Austria, Germany, Belgium and England, when on th'e point of sailing for New York, said: 'The German exhibit will be very large and complete in all particulars.

When the 8:15 train out of Boston arrived here several minutes late this afternoon, a tall, angular man, square-shouldered and attired in a suit of black worsted, alighted and looked about the platform with an evi dent air of wonderment if he had reached the right spot.

He Drives Off With Horses and Baggies Left Unattended. There is a boy in the Allegheny lockup who seems to have a mania for stealing horses and baggies. His name is William McKune, and he was arrested about two weeks ago for driving away with a rig. The Mayor let him off with a reprimand, on his promise never to do it again. Yesterday morning the lad jumped into the buegy of William Mcintosh, which was standing on Buena Vista street, and drove away leisurely. The owner saw the act, ran in pursuit and caught np on Bridge street. The boy was again taken to the lockup, and will be given a hearing this morning. The Mavor is puzzled what to do with him, and says he is satisfied that the boy takes the buggies just because he cannot help it. He has no intention of appro priating the property permanently.
